Dept Heaven Apocrypha/Characters: Difference between revisions

Over the months that followed, Milanor's constant care managed to help him mostly out of his catatonic state, although he's still on about four drugs and has a lot of trouble speaking clearly. A lot of his psychological issues are still present, and hearing that Hector would be coming back sent him into a relapse.

 

 

Tropes associated with Nessiah:

* [[Hates Being Touched]]: He's getting better. Slowly, but steadily.

* [[Hikikomori]]: He's developed a number of the major characteristics--he almost never leaves his and Milanor's room alone, and has a tendency to become nervous or panic outright when Milanor isn't with him. That, and he's been shut up like that for about half a year now, which isn't helping. {{spoiler|Fear of being forced back into normal life after becoming so dependent on Milanor is implied to be a psychological block keeping him from being able to speak properly.}}

* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]

* [[Image Song]]: ''Precious Illusions''

* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Mii..."

* [[When She Smiles]]: Recently stated outright by Milanor.

* [[The Woobie]]

 

* [[Mind Rape]]: Early in the story, she damaged Nessiah's fragile sanity ''very'' badly by accident. The two of them are ''still'' trying to work through the fallout.

* [[Not So Different]]: Red Sage and her have many things in common. Even though Sage is not a villain. {{spoiler|Or is she?}}

* [[Only Sane Man]]: As of late, anyway. Yeah, we're all doomed.

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Considering her mun is also Milanor's mun, it seems logical that she, too, speaks with an Australian accent from time to time. Also makes sense in-character because both [[As Long As It Sounds Foreign|she and Milanor are Vanir]].

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]

* [[Super OCD]]

* [[The Woobie]]

 

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: [http://community.livejournal.com/apocrypha_rp/21248.html In this thread] especially, Fia's demon has to say everything for her.

* [[Demonic Possession]]

* [[Healing Hands]]

* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: Despite being a healer, Fia has developed extremely powerful holy magic that takes a few different forms.

* [[Cast From HP]]: Her powers are a variation in that the energy she uses to power them also keeps her alive. In other words, if she runs out of energy, she will die. {{spoiler|And if the [[Dept Heaven]] canon is to be believed here, Ursula will die with her. [[Epileptic Trees|Maybe.]]}}

* [[Genki Girl]]: Ordinarily.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Poor girl seems rather prone to the things.

* [[Image Song]]: ''Further''

* [[Le Parkour]]: Her preferred pastime.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: Seth can vaporize, cut, shatter, or melt just about anything with little more than a thought. At one point she uses this to get free items out of a vending machine while making it look like a mundane mechanical fault. The ease with which she does this suggests it isn't the first time she's tried.

* [[No Sell]]: Her defensive technique is to nullify spells before they can actually have any effect.

* [[Not Good With People]] / [[No Social Skills]]: Having been brought up in "the back end of nowhere" populated by Asgardian aristocrats, Seth has very little experience interating with people her own age. It shows.

* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: She's apparently taken to keeping her phone down the front of her leotard.

* [[Wangst]]: Occasionally, though Monica tends to get sharp with her when she takes it too far.

** A recent change in mindset has allowed her to finally get an upward streak going.

 

* [[The Chosen One]]

* [[Development Hell]]: She's been around for just under a year, and only recently have there been signs of her plot getting ready to start. And it technically can't until Fia's plot and Nessiah's next event are resolved. Monica was [[Demoted to Extra]].

* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Because she's Bronquian and has experienced racism, she's rather intolerant of it in general and sympathetic towards those who have suffered under it. However, she herself seems to harbor some slight prejudice against Fantasinia...

* [[Fiery Redhead]]

* [[Flanderization]]: In the original [[Dept Heaven]] canon, she was a minor character who died on the very stage she appeared, and was loosely based on historical French heroine Jeanne d'Arc. It gets played up a bit more in this work.

* [[Image Song]]: ''Extraordinary'' and ''La Pucelle de la Flamme''

* [[Jeanne D Archetype]]

* [[Memetic Badass]]: Someone wallowing in their angst a bit too much to be palatable? Monica will instantly channel [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Bright Noa]] and [[Bright Slap|set them straight]].

* [[Purple Eyes]]

** Also takes the kohai role to Aegina's sempai.

* [[Shipper On Deck]]

Upon entering the school, she stumbled immediately into Nessiah's issues and wound up friends with Ledah, Fia, and her demon, and started hitting on Seth. As Seth was receptive to her advances, the two of them entered a relationship. However, it didn't last too long--the very day after they first slept together, Seth was caught making out with Cierra. The shock sent Meria into [[Shower of Angst|something]] [[Drowning My Sorrows|of a]] [[Revenge Before Reason|downward]] [[Interrupted Suicide|spiral]], shaking her cheerful facade badly and exposing some of her own deep-seated issues.

 

 

Recently, she volunteered to {{spoiler|assume point in the sting operation to take down Hector, despite knowing that she would risk being raped or severely injured in the process}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Cartwright Curse]]: None of her romantic/sexual relationships have ever lasted.}}

* [[Cast From HP]]: Her strongest combat abilities are flashy, but exhausting... This is actually loyal to the gameplay of [[Knights in The Nightmare]].

* [[Combat Stilettos]]: They're part of her armor.

** [[Kick Chick]]: And she actually does use them in combat.

* [[Tsundere|Tsungire]]: She puts up a tough and snarky front in front of ''everyone'', but if you know what buttons to push, it's not hard to get her to flail around and go all ''deredere''.

* [[Vapor Wear]]: If she's in the right mood, she does not wear anything under her favorite trenchcoat other than pants.

 

=== Ein ===

 

 

As inadvertently revealed by Monica's research into her sword, Ein is {{spoiler|a Grim Angel}}; upon learning this, he regained the memory of how he lost his wings. Which promptly gave him terrible nightmares and a stubborn case of insomnia.

* [[The Fettered]]

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: On the logic (or lack thereof) of Nietzsche being able to handle things like stairs and human-accessible toilets.

* [[Naive Newcomer]]

* [[The Promise]]

* [[Put On a Bus]]: His new mun has explained his long absence as having lapsed into a light coma. Considering what else has been going on at Apocrypha, this going unremarked is entirely plausible.

Tropes associated with Aegina:

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: She really, ''really'' wasn't amused by the Red Sage's antics. [[Badass|Badassness]] ensued.

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]

* [[Royal Rapier]]

* [[Serious Business]]: Most things. Got to be rather amusing when she was facing eating ice cream with this attitude.

* [[Sidekick]]: To Ledah.

* [[The Speechless]]

* [[Tastes Like Friendship]]: She tends to automatically trust people that feed her (or aid her in her war against the vending machines). As she gets used to having food easily available, this may start to wear off a bit.

 

=== The Red Sage ===

* [[Bratty Half Pint]]

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Many of the ever-present NPC students of Caelum look at her with derision, and apparently she's the only demon in the school (Other than Fia's demon, whom she doesn't know yet). Only time will tell if this trope is also invoked with one or more of the PCs.

* [[Malaproper]]: Occasionally intentional, and occasionally a case of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] (as her player isn't a native English speaker). Still has amusing results, either way.

* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]] / [[Red Herring Mole]]: It is way too early to see which of these two Sage really is, but it is hinted that she may be The [[Unwitting Pawn]] of the Accursed who put her in the Collegium. Or is she?}}

* [[Pride]]: Her [[Fatal Flaw]]. This and her bratty attitude tend to get her in trouble.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: {{spoiler|No one is planning a demonic invasion of the school! I swear!}}

** Not even the most [[Genre Blind]] of characters could have misinterpreted that. Nice try, though.

* [[Wangst]]: Yes, Sage, we know that people discriminate you for being a demon. Could you please not be this obnoxiously annoying about it?

 

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: She wields these against Ledah, to great effect.

* [[Third Person Person]]

* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Variation--she keeps her cellphone under her bikini strap.

 

 

Tropes associated with Yggdra:

* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Or nearly.

* [[The Heart]]

* [[Image Song]]: ''Hands''

* [[The Ingenue]]: Though she ''does'' have technical knowledge of many things she comes off as ignorant of.

* [[Put On a Bus]]: <s>Her player lost her [[Yggdra Union]] muse, so Yggdra is on extended hiatus until her player wants to pick her up again/someone else is willing to take over.</s>

** Yggdra has now returned to the world of the living!

* Pride: In spades, going so far as to call herself The Great Pamela.

* [[What Exactly Is His Job|What Exactly Is A Mystic Witch]]

* [[Third Person Person]]

* [[Medium Awareness]]: Pamela seems to adore this trope.

* [[Big Bad]]: It is quite obvious, since he was also the [[Big Bad]] in the original [[Dept Heaven]] canon.

* [[Complete Monster]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Rape As Drama]]

* [[Feel No Pain]]: One of a handful reasons for his temporary [[Split Personality Takeover]].

* [[Heel Face Turn]]

* [[Gentleman Snarker]]

* [[Got Me Doing It]]: [http://community.livejournal.com/apocrypha_rp/26845.html?thread=1473245#t1473245 This] thread.

* {{spoiler|[[Pre Climax Climax]]: Pretty much the whole point of that scene.}}

* [[Sharing a Body]]

* [[The Tease]]

* [[Vague Age]]: Not that it would matter, but there is literally no way to tell his age.
