Darkness Rising/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

Ah, ''[[Darkness Rising]]''. You have enough characters to rival even [[Axis Powers Hetalia]]. Let's begin then...

 

== Utopia's End ==

=== Pike Mineta ===

* [[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.

 

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 [[Too Dumb to Live|because he knew necromancy.]] He came back to life by [[Deal with the Devil|selling his soul to become a reaper]], then had to witness his [[And Your Little Dog, Too|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.

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 [[Playing with Fire|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. [[Sarcasm Mode|Jeez, I would love to have an assassin for a boyfriend!]]

A druid who ''was'' a peaceful demon until the humans destroyed his home. Now he's searching to kill his demon hunter.

 

* [[Bishonen]]

* {{spoiler|[[Casanova]]: This doesn't end well.}}

A legendary demon hunter with skills that rival Neil. He hunts him down to no tomorrow.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Irony]]: "Give the reaper a message. Tell him that death is coming on swift wings."}}

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]

A human who died while he was on a date with his girlfriend. Thugs killed both of them and raped his girlfriend. A demon brought him back to life because his soul was not at rest. He killed the thugs and now walks the earth as a revenant.

 

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Cut through a building with one of his katanas.

* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: When he becomes a reaper. At one point considerably worse than Neil.}}

 

=== Crow ===

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Crows obviously.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Guess what his powers involve.

 

=== Beatrice ===

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Beatrice]].

 

=== Arkana ===

{{quote|''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?''}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't have someone control your body near him. Waking him up when he's sleeping isn't a good idea either.

* [[BFS]]: ''Two.'' At least it explains why he's so muscled.

 

=== {{spoiler|Jaxon}}/ Horseman of Death ===

* [[Berserk Button]]: "You hit my face, no one hits my face! No one!"

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Neil, natch. Both of them surviving from their dead family? Both of them controlling dead armies? Their hair is even colored opposite from each other! At least Neil tries to hide his evil side, while he proudly show off his inner jerk. The more heroic one at least has ''positive'' motivation in life and something to love.

=== Seth Gladerun "Kasou" ===

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

* [[Badass]]: He's very emotional and hates the demons for ruining his life. He also knows dangerous ruin magic, can ride like hell, and fights vicariously like an animal.

* [[Badass Biker]]: But doesn't own the bike.

 

=== Willow "Will" Owens ===

* [[Astral Projection]]: Her Wiccan power.

* [[Three Amigos]]: With Zircon and Yosuke before The Cleansing.

A [[Youkai|half-raccoon, half-fox demon]] that used to go to school in Neilville. He has an evil side and a mysterious past. Now, he's trying to bring his past girlfriend back to life.

 

* [[Author Avatar]]: The creator has the same name and character used for his Gaia account. He used it for many role-plays to justify.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Had his eye clawed at from a wolf attacking his girlfriend.

=== Michael ===

{{quote|"It's ok child. Few on Earth remember our Lord. This is why he has turned from it. He cannot associate with the sin of this world. I am the Archangel Michael. Commander and General over all of God's armies. I am here to see if I can save mankind."}}

* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: When he's cursing and angry, you know he's angry. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the writer himself.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Treats Pike with kindness, due to the "good in her heart."

 

=== {{spoiler|Miharu Himuro}} ===

{{spoiler|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.}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]}}

* [[I Will Wait for You]]: For over 200 years.

 

== 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.

* [[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:

{{quote|Jess: So we just be witnesses?

== Minor Characters ==

 

=== Neil's mouse ===

{{quote|"What do you mean we?"}}

 

A skeleton mouse that Neil picked up in the beginning of the story. It is brought to life by him on will. He usually uses it to check on what other people are doing. He thinks of it as one of his closest companions. Pike thinks of it as cute.

* [[No Name Given]]: Well, Pike ''was'' supposed to give it a name, but then she forgot.

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Well... If you think a mouse's skeleton is cute. Its personality still qualifies.

A hunter that runs into the group. Apparently is "pathetic" compared to the others.

A demon hunter who was told to report on the demon activity of Neilville. His friend died from their burning school in The Cleansing. He runs into Mozerth, then retreats from battle. He briefly runs into Hakumei, then disappears from the story. Obviously, he doesn't work for Hakumei's military.

 

* [[BFG]]: Justified considering it has a flamethrower built in it.

* [[The Hunter]]: More of a [[Vampire Hunter]], but has the symptoms of [[Demon Slaying]].

A neko who was on the run with other demons, then suddenly became separated. Pike saved him once, but they don't [[Noodle Incident|want to talk about that.]]

The zombie child of Aka Chi. He was created from corpses and necromancy by his father.

* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: He's forced to eat human meat from "prostitute" or women.
