 | Some or all of these characters need descriptions. A list of tropes is not a description. Please provide at least a few words telling how these characters differ from other characters with the same tropelists. |
Ah, Darkness Rising. You have enough characters to rival even Axis Powers Hetalia. Let's begin then...
Utopia's End role-players, don't read anything past the folder that says "Utopia's End". It is likely to contain massive, most likely unmarked spoilers. (Particularly for Pike.) Read at your own risk.
Utopia's End
Pike Mineta
A description of the character goes here.
- Her Child, but Not His: Since she's albino.
- Plot Allergy: Allergic to sunlight. This is taken rather realistically; she could actually die from this!
Darkness Rising
Notice: Hakumei is in the military demons' folder.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble: Neil- choleric, Hakumei- melancholic, Alex-phlegmatic, Pike- supine.
Neil
 |
"They stripped me of my humanity, I shall strip them of their lives." |
 |
The main protagonist of the series. He used to be human and lived in Neilville until some idiotic demon hunters killed him. They assumed he was a demon because he knew necromancy. He came back to life by selling his soul to become a reaper, then had to witness his family being killed. Now, he's trying to get revenge for his death, his family's death and for all the innocents killed.
- Anti-Hero: Type II -> III or IV.
- Ax Crazy: Oh boy. Even when he appears to calm down, it just gets worse.
- Badass Boast: "I'm his second best reaper."
- "Do you know who I am? I'm the tenth plague."
- Badass in a Nice Suit: One wonders how he manages to wear such nice clothes while assassinating people
- Berserk Button: Let's just say, harming Pike isn't a good idea.
- Black Eyes
- Character Development: Starts out as a cocky, (unknowingly) flirtatious guy with a love of humor that turned serious when needed. He also notably treated Pike at first as just someone he liked. Eventually becomes more cynical, guarded and more dedicated to her... Good and bad at the same time.
- Cooldown Hug: Given to Armageddon. Subverted, since it's just to restrain her.
- Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday: Died and became a reaper when he was sixteen.
- Determinator
- Even Evil Has Standards: He's not the antagonist, but he's pretty... Dark. "Killing innocents is the last thing I want to do." At one point, he's (gasp) actually resentful for the people he has to kill! Really! He only kills them if ordered to or if they attack him first. He also hates to see people crying.
- "Parents who don't care about their children aren't fit to call themselve parents. I feel sorry for you."
- Evil Laugh: His laughs are usually normal.
- Heroic BSOD: If he's heroic to you. Still has one when illusion!Pike is "killed".
- Jade-Colored Glasses: He wasn't the most optimistic guy, but he gets worse:
|
"So we're going on a journey that we have no idea how it'll end up. We could die. And we only have Haku's memory to rely on. All of this just to meet new people." |
|
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He really does care about Pike and other people.
- Necromancer: Even when he was alive he practiced necromancy. This was also the main reason why he died. He isn't the antagonist.
- One-Winged Angel: Inverted seeing that he's the hero.
- Official Couple: With Pike.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
- Sinister Scythe: Which happens to be on a chain.
- Smoking Is Cool: Seen smoking and said by his controller to be a chain smoker.
- Winged Humanoid: Upon becoming the Angel of Death.
- Tall, Dark and Snarky
- Yandere/ Cute and Psycho: If you even attempt to touch Pike, he'll snap. No, actually before that. Just being near him can make him bloodthirsty. He became jealous when she and Yoshida were reuniting each other.
Pike
|
"I will never be just a memory. And I will never be useless either." |
|
The token Japanese-Korean demon. She used to be a human in Neilville until she was hit by a subway. She was revived as a demon as a flying demon with pyrokinesis. She wants to know who revived her.
- Abusive Parents / Parental Neglect: They were smart, so they pretended they cared about her in public (like buy her whatever she wanted to seem "spoiled") but didn't really love her in the inside.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Exaggerated. She falls in love with Neil, the guy who acts like a stoner on pcp, bloodthirsty, and a killer at the same time. Jeez, I would love to have an assassin for a boyfriend!
- Subverted when she says she fell for him since he "one of the first to care about me."
- Apologizes a Lot:
|
Pike: I'm so sorry! This is how I usually greet everyone. |
|
- Badass Adorable / Badass Damsel: Often attacked, but not afraid to fight for her life. She's not afraid to become suddenly cold at these enemies either. She even saves Neil herself.
- But Not Too Foreign: Japanese, Korean and French.
- Expy: Was written as a parody of Bella.
- Gosh Dang It to Heck: Zigzags from cursing every line to resorting to friendly substitutes.
- The Heart: Mostly since she kept most of her humanity.
- Heroic Albino: The closest thing of a hero in this role-play.
- Morality Chain: Neil's.
- Neutral Female: Subverted at least five times.
- Nice Girl: Most definitely the sweetest girl in the series.
- Only One Name: Averted. She introduces herself with only Pike, but officially has a full name. Pike Rose Minishia. In Utopia, the last name is changed to Mineta.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted. She's probably the most sweetest and mentally stable out of the whole cast.
- Shipper on Deck: Thinks two people as "cute" or that they're in love with each other. She supports: Haku/Alex, Willow/Kasou, and Haku/Laire
- Shrinking Violet
- Sweet Tooth: "I'm a sweet food addict." We mostly see her drinking soda though.
- Tomboyish Name
- White-Haired Pretty Girl
- Winged Humanoid

Arkana
|
Why do we put so much detail and decoration into things that will ultimately be destroyed? And not just armor, or weapons, or other physical things, but things like relationships, and feelings? They are so fragile, so exposed to abuse and danger, yet when we see these things damaged, we are surprised, and we are hurt...Since when have I been a philosopher? |
|
A description of the character goes here.
- Berserk Button: Don't have someone control your body near him. Waking him up when he's sleeping isn't a good idea either.

- Necromancer
- Spell My Name with an "S": Jackson? Jaxson? One wonders how his name wasn't spelled the normal way...
- White-Haired Pretty Boy
- Xtremely Kool Letterz

Why did all this have to happen? Why did demons have to come here? |

|
A description of the character goes here.
- Out-of-Character Moment: When he's cursing and angry, you know he's angry. Lampshaded by the writer himself.

First appeared in Trilogy of Hell The past lover of Yoshida. She was killed when her council found out she was dating him and became revived. She meets up with him again before Satan's troops attack.
- Back from the Dead

Military
They're so confusing that they needed their own section! Hakumei is included in this folder. Please note that this isn't Jaysen's military.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Hakumei- brawn, Allison- brains, Destiny/Jess- beauty.
- Cool Car: They own a RV that can transform into a helicopter. Get this, it can even deflect swords and completely bulletproof! Justified considering they work for the military.

- The Hero: Jess (she's the leader.), then Hakumei.
- The Lancer: Hakumei, then Destiny.
- The Big Guy: Maria
- The Smart Guy: Allison
- The Chick: Samantha
- Improbable Aiming Skills: Surprisingly averted. Scorched Earth reveals that Allison misses 1/6 of the time and Jess misses half of the time. Sometimes you wonder why Jess is the leader if she has the crappiest aim.
- Nakama

- Lampshaded when Pike is being attacked:
|
Jess: So we just be witnesses? |
|
- Pop-Cultured Badass: They know pop songs from "Wake Up", to "Evacuate the Dance Floor", shop in mainstream stores, and have the newest phones. Think of them as gossipy teenagers, except older. Doesn't mean they can't fight.
