Line 16:
* [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest|Can't Act Perverted Toward A Rival]]:
{{quote|What are you doing here, Beryl? Are you trying to interrupt my research again? I'm about to conduct a physics experiment on skirt lifting. Get out of here.}}
* [[Closet Geek]]: He is the closet about liking heroes, truth is he might be as big a fan of them as Almaz and Flonne, if not more.
* [[Coat Cape]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: In the second fight against Raspberyl, it was implied he used Almaz as a shield.
Line 28:
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Expy]]: He's essentially [[Harry Potter]] if he were an evil [[Otaku]].
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: In the worse ending.}}
* [[For Science!]]!
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: {{spoiler|Due to Aurum.}}
* [[Ice King]]: His heart is literary as cold as ice.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[I Read It for the Articles]]: Mao insists that his massive superhero comic book collection is ''purely'' for research purposes. Really.
Line 40:
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Magic Knight]]: His highest aptitudes are ATK and INT, he can use both a sword and staff, and learns ice magic.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: In an in-universe episode preview, Etna portrays him as a sexual-molesting pervert. He objects.
* [[Nerdgasm]]: [[Invoked|To the point]] that it unsettles just about everyone that's not him.
{{quote|'''Almaz:''' You need help in more ways than one.}}
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Mao has no compunctions against groping for the sake of science, as Almaz learned the hard way.
{{quote|'''Almaz:''' I think I've just been violated.}}
* [[Odd Couple]]: With Almaz at the beginning.
* [[Oedipus Complex]]: {{spoiler|Due to Aurum's brainwashing.}}
* [[Ominous Pipe Organ]]: "Fugue of Hell", Mao's [[Leitmotif]].
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Depending on how you interpret his final skill, Vasa Aergun, he's either summoning a giant demon or transforming into it.
* [[Otaku]]: 4 million hours on a [[Bland-Name Product|Slay Station Portable]] is pretty hardcore.
* [[Poke the Poodle]]: "...What? I only replaced all Stop signs with Yields, hid peoples' shoes, and prank called a few places at most."
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: 1578 years old.
Line 61:
* [[Tights Under Shorts]]
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Mao's biggest disappointment upon learning that {{spoiler|his butler Geoffery has been experimenting on him while he's unconscious}} is that he wasn't awake to remember any of it...Well, the total breach of trust too, but mostly the former. When he confronts him about it, he demands ''video''.
* [[Torture Technician]]: Comes natural with his love for experimenting and reconstructing his victims.
* [[Tsundere]]: Much like Laharl, if he does something good, he'll try to deny it.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: His research has left him convinced that roughly 70% of a hero's power comes from 'Love', but he doesn't comprehend it at all.
Line 79:
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type 1. Graduates to full hero by the end of the game.
* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]: To get his hero title back was all it took.}}
* [[Bad Liar]]
* [[The Chew Toy]]: My god...this guy is unlucky. Taken to [[Woobie]] levels especially in the Almaz ending.
* [[Classical AntiheroAnti-Hero]]
* [[Cowardly Lion]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Gains considerable courage from Sapphire's presence.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Not so unusual in real life, but in the [[Disgaea]] universe the color of his hair and eyes is as unusual as any other wacky color.
* [[The Cutie]]: A rare male version.
** {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie]]: Near the end of the game, he gets killed shortly after protecting Sapphire. Naturally,it doesn't last long. Only in the worse ending does he stay dead and it triggers a string of unfortunate events.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In part because he's a [[The Chew Toy|chew toy]].
* [[Even Heroes Have Heroes]]: Almaz is a tremendous Super Hero Aurum fanboy, and admits to owning a tremendous amount of merchandise based on him. {{spoiler|Naturally, he has the most trouble out of the main characters in accepting that Aurum is really evil}}.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Gameplay and Story Integration]]: In ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Dark Hero Days]]'', Hanako apparently summons him from the future after {{spoiler|He and Sapphire are married}}, and as a result the two have a 99% chance of pulling off a combo attack at all times.
* [[The Heart]]: Functions as the member that keeps everyone together. {{spoiler|It shows in the worse ending where his death triggers everyone to turn on Mao because he refused to grieve for him.}}
* [[Heroic Wannabe]]
* [[I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me|I Can't Believe A Girl Like You Would Notice Me]]: His reaction to Sapphire's interest in him.
Line 99:
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: The cause of his example of [[Throw the Dog a Bone]] and {{spoiler|[[Rags to Royalty]].}}
* [[Made a Slave]]: Mao's slave at that.
* [[Man in White]]: White uniform and very much genuinely good.
* [[The Messiah]]: Minus that [[What the Hell, Hero?|one moment]] in chapter 4, Almaz fits the qualities of one. Kind and caring, always willing to help someone out even if he doesn't know them and is willing to see the good in people no matter how cruel they are. {{spoiler|He was even willing to stay with Mao and convince him to stop his plan in attacking the human world and depending on the ending depends on whether or not he is successful.}}
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: [http://www.zerochan.net/458389 Some official art] suggests that he's developed this midway into his transformation into a demon.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Not to the extent of Beryl but also serves as one to Mao {{spoiler|as shown in the worse ending where his death contributes part of Mao's [[Face Heel Turn]] and turns everyone against Mao.}}
* {{spoiler|[[My God, What Have I Done?]]: His reaction to what he does to Mao in chapter 4. Thinking he did a good thing by pulling the plug and shutting down his father inside of his heart, Almaz didn't realize that he mentally destroyed Mao in the process.}}
* [[Nice Guy]]: Oh so much.
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: The Almaz ending.
* [[Odd Couple]]: With Mao in the beginning, when it is just the two of them on the team.
* [[Only Sane Man]]
* {{spoiler|[[Rags to Royalty]]}}
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: He kicks ass when he needs to.
* [[Tender Tears]]: Sheds them for Mao after {{spoiler|everyone recognizes him as the freshman leader given Mao won't cheer on the outside.}} Naturally, Mao is disturbed by this act.
* {{spoiler|[[They Do]]: With Sapphire in the normal ending.}}
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Epilogue to normal end, see below.
* [[The Von Trope Family]]
* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]: While Almaz didn't know that pulling the plug would make Mao's mind revert back to a baby, announcing his attentions after he promised Mao he would stay by his side and then later using the Princess as an excuse for wanting to leave the Netherworld while Mao was in that infant state gets him chewed out by Geoffrey, Champloo and Sapphire with Sapphire being the one that sends him into a minor [[Heroic BSOD]] but quickly recovering thanks to Champloo's lecture that makes him go back into Mao's heart to set things right.}}
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: In the cruelest way possible during the Almaz ending. Ouch.
 
Line 128:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Along with most humans in your party.
** [[Badass Princess]]
* [[Battle Couple]]: See [[Hot Amazon]]'s spoilers; also leads to [[Gameplay and Story Integration]] with a 99% combo rate in Dark Hero Days.
* [[Chainsaw Good]]
* [[The Chick]]: That being said, the only way she'll ever try to "open your heart" is with a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]].
Line 157:
* {{spoiler|[[They Do]]: With Almaz in the normal ending.}}
* [[Unable to Cry]]
* [[Unicorn]]: Sapphire summons a [[Healing Hands|healing]] unicorn in her last Special Attack.
* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]: Many of her blood thirsty thoughts are due to this.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: And how! Almaz tends to be safe from her murderous impulses, though he does get hit by her on occasion...
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
 
Line 172:
 
Tropes associated with Raspberyl:
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Beryl is the demonic version of this, which is an inversion.
* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: Okay, not ''nearly'' as dramatic as most examples, but she's a demon who's rebelling against the perceived notion of "demonness".
* [[Arranged Marriage|Arranged Rivalry]]: With Mao, as arranged by their parent. May be a [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage|Perfectly Arranged Rivalry]] at that.
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Badass in Distress]]: During {{spoiler|Chapter 3}}.
* [[Blush Sticker]]: Gets them when she is very happy.
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Uses this to prevent Mao's really evil side, a borderline [[Cosmic Horror]] from taking over. TWICE!!
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
Line 200:
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: 1578.
* [[Sailor Fuku]]
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: She just loves pairing [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Adell and Rozalin]] up; in both the [[DLC]] in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' and the extra content in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Dark Hero Days]]''. She also enjoyed watching Almaz and Sapphire develop into a couple throughout the main game. Being a [[Shipper on Deck]] is a requirement for being a delinquent it seems.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Mao.
** Especially in Raspberyl Mode. Honestly, she couldn't be more obvious really.
Line 238:
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: {{spoiler|He asked the developers himself after his unfortunate letter event to fix his name but he said that they told him that they refused the five times he reported it because it was supposed to look like that in the scene.}} [[No Fourth Wall|Not that you should feel surprised.]]
* [[Cape Wings]]: Inverted, his wings serves as his two pieced cape.
* [[The Dandy]]: Supplies the page image.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: One of his abilities even increases the stats of adjacent female allied units.
* [[A Father to His Men]]
* [[Full-Name Basis]]: Starts regretting it after {{spoiler|someone steals the space and letter "a" in his name, and could only afford a new "e", changing his name to Master Bigster.}} He asks the cast to stop after this, but they refuse.
Line 335:
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: Due to her shapeshifting ability others view her as such, although she denies it.
** Though when you run into her in the Item World's Innocent towns, she sometimes does ask about Mao's opinion on cosplaying girls.
* [[Horny Devils]]: One of her "disguises" is that of {{spoiler|Ms. Machiko}}, a succubus.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Of the generic mage class.
* [[Strong as They Need to Be]]: {{spoiler|While not the first Disgaea boss to change levels from different times, it's probably worth noting that when you talk to her in the hub area when she's Ms. Machiko, she's listed as level 500, which puts her as being more powerful than the final boss. Both times you fight her, she's nowhere nearly that powerful.}}
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: A big part of this game's plot is that things like a character's title [[Medium Awareness|can actually be seen by others, and even transferred]]. [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]] makes it explicit that they are aware of their character levels as well. So shape shifting would be useless as a disguise unless you can fake this information too.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Which she uses for (cosplay) covert operations.
 
=== Rutile ===
Line 345:
{{quote|A 15-year old halfling Nekomata raised on Earth. She's unfamiliar with the ways of the Netherworld, so she transfers to Evil Academy to learn more. Though gentle and trusting, she packs a lot of power into her small frame. She's one of two new characters exclusive to the PS Vita re-release.}}
 
Tropes associated with Rutile:
 
* [[Catgirl]]
Line 352:
* [[Delinquents]]: Inverted example, much like Raspberyl. She's basically touted as being more of a Delinquent than Raspberyl, even though all she did was pay her school fees.
* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: Another reason for her transfer to the Netherworld is to get a better hold on her strength, as she's accidentally destroyed stuff in the Human World schools, causing her to be ostracized.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]
** [[Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad]]: Inverted, as her mother is a Nekomata demon.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: Forced into this by Stella, who was using her for her own plans.}}
* [[Nice Girl]]: Very trusting of others, though a bit naive.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Power Fist]]: Her most proficient weaponry set is fists, thanks to training from her mother.
* [[Sailor Fuku]]: But only the top.
Line 368:
{{quote|The sole daughter of the Chief Director of Death Institute, Majin Academy, a rival school to Evil Academy, and also its acting Student Body President. She raises monsters, with slimes and zombies being her favorites. She has a spoiled, uppity attitude, which is strangely countered by an immature, prank-loving side. The second of the two new characters. }}
 
Tropes associated with Stella:
 
* [[Detached Sleeves]]
Line 374:
* [[Horned Humanoid]]
* [[Not So Different]]: Largely parallels Mao, including {{spoiler|the loss of her father to Aurum and having to come to terms with it.}}
* [[Ojou]]: Believes everything she does is "elegant".
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Her "Flame Hazard" special transforms her into a gigantic lava lizard.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: She even has an evility that drops the fire resistances of everyone else on the map aside from herself.
