Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: "Mr. Weirdo", oddly enough. Artina always says it with a smile.

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Even after enough [[Level Grinding]] to overthrow the Corrupternment, Val insists that he's merely a simple Prinny Instructor. Also, despite the [[De Power]], Zetta of all people considers him a worthy opponent.

* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Badass Long Hair]]: When he was "The Tyrant".

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He ain't nicknamed "Mr. Weirdo" for nothing.

* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Artina

* [[De Power]]

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: {{spoiler|While Valvatorez was touched that Artina would willingly offer her blood to him, he was also frustrated that a mere human not only didn't fear him, but ''pitied'' him. Thus his promise: he will not drink blood - Artina's or anyone else's - until he can show her true terror.}}

* [[The Dreaded]]: Subverted. In his Tyrant state, he was considered a horrifying boogey man to humans and demons alike who's name was uttered in hushed voices. He's actually a pretty nice guy who treats spreading fear as a job.

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: In Japanese, his voice during his days as a Tyrant is noticeably lower and sounds much more threatening. {{spoiler|However, while he was not obsessed with sardines, [[Dark Is Not Evil|he was still a decent guy in spite of his title, appearance, and voice.]]}}

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: Has cut his hair since his Tyrant days.

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: He understand [[Power of Friendship]] and [[Power of Trust]] are source of strength for humans and as a Tyrant he felt making use of that would make him more frightening to them. Really, loyalty and similar things generally make something LESS scary.

** Potential [[Fridge Brilliance]] and [[Fridge Horror]] to that when one considers that those power sources actually DO make him a lot more powerful and in fact are a possible explanation as to why he's so powerful despite his de-power. His insane power as a Tyrant was the prime reason he was considered such a terrifying boogey man figure in the first place.

* [[Large Ham]]: A vampire who can speak passionately about anything, but ''especially'' when it comes to sardines and promises. ''Especially'' in the English dub, where [[Troy Baker]] proves himself capable of devouring whole sets in one bite.

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in Fuka and Desco mode, where he must have decided to become the largest ham possible. The only thing missing would [[Ham to Ham Combat]] with [[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters (Video Game)|Gig.]]

* [[No Doubt the Years Have Changed Me]]: Since he looks significantly younger than he used to thanks to his power degeneration, {{spoiler|Vulcanus/Artina}} fails recognize him until he gives her his name.

* [[The Nose Knows]]: Can always identify the scent of human blood, which is why Fenrich's been unable to sneak the stuff into his meals.

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Although he does suck blood, which allows him to unleash his magical powers, a promise he made long ago caused him to refrain from drinking blood. He [[Vegetarian Vampire|replaces blood with sardines]] as his primary form of nutrition, though this causes his powers to deplete. He's still very powerful despite said [[De Power]].

* [[Parenthetical Swearing]]: Done literally - When he refers to Axel, a parenthetical note helpfully points out that what he ''really'' means is "idiot".

* [[The Pollyanna]]: Which Fenrich is quick to observe.

{{quote| '''Fenrich:''' [[Sweat Drop|...]] What an impressive ability to overwrite his memory of losing his power and being forced to take the least wanted job in the Netherworld. This is another one of his formidable powers. He can convert any suffering he's been through into something positive.}}

* [[The Promise]]: His will to keep his promises surpasses even ''[[Disgaea 2/Characters|Adell's]]''. {{spoiler|His first big promise was to not drink human blood and he's kept that promise for ''400 years'' despite it causing his powers to deplete. On top of that, he makes additional promises with several characters all of which he plans on keeping, much to Fenrich's annoyance.}}

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Even as a Tyrant, he considered spreading fear in the human world to be just a necessary job.

* [[Shonen Hair]]

* [[Skyward Scream]]: In the manga, when Axel ''dies''.

* [[Super Toughness]]: Thanks to his "spirit and fortitude", there are very few things that can actually hurt him. {{spoiler|Even less when he was Tyrant.}}

* [[Stupid Good]]: He follows his own moral code to the bitter end, but thanks to Fenrich he does not always have to live with of the bad consequences of this.

* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[Animal Stereotypes|Dogs are loyal and wolfs are fierce]], while Fenrich is [[Undying Loyalty|fiercely loyal]].

* [[Badass Long Hair]]

* [[Battle Butler]]

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: He turns into one as his last Special Attack.

* [[The Consigliere]]

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: While he's not exactly crazy, he's definitely not fond of any girl who develops feelings for his Lord {{spoiler|which is why he despises Artina.}}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Don't Look At Me]]: His reaction when he is turned into {{spoiler|Axel}} in regards to Valvatorez.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Just look at him.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Fur Against Fang]]: Averted. While he thinks of Valvatorez' belief as worthless, he firmly believes that his master is meant for greater things and is even willing to dirty his hands if it means that Valvatorez will be put into a good position.

* [[Hades Shaded]]

* [[Happiness in Slavery]]

* [[Honest Advisor]]

* [[Jerkass]]: Towards anyone who isn't Valvatorez. [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|He mellows out a bit near the end, though.]]

* [[Keigo]]

* [[Only in It For The Money]]: Immediately inquired about his reward the minute Minotrose said Tyrant Valvatorez was his target. {{spoiler|He more or less invokes the trope when [[Big Damn Heroes|Tyrant Valvatorez tries to save him]] and declares Fenrich to be his [[True Companions|comrade]].}}

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Shares this title with Emizel when the latter joins the party.

* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: Just like Valvatorez.

* [[Red and Black And Evil All Over]]

* [[Power Source]]: {{spoiler|The moon is this to werewolves}}.

** {{spoiler|Lunacy}}

* [[Professional Killer]]: His job before serving Valvatorez.

* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Smiles like this when he is about to do something [[Manipulative Bastard]]-like.

* [[Surrounded By Idiots]]: How Fenrich feels about the rest of the party.

* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet]]}}

* [[Tsundere]]: The others even call him this, much to his irritation.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]

* [[Werewolf]]

* [[Werewolf Theme Naming]]: Named after Fenrir, the monstrous wolf from Norse Mythology.

* [[Wild Hair]]

== Fuka Kazamatsuri ==

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Dude Magnet]]: Played with. In the Fuka & Desco Mode [[On the Next]] segments, Valvatorez, Fenrich, Axel, and [[Les Yay|Desco]] are vying for her affection.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: {{spoiler|In the special Fuka & Desco Show DLC, her reincarnation will never happen but in her dreams due to the facts that: 1) Since she has been denying the fact that she's a Prinny, she ultimately was recognized as Fuka Kazamatsuri after passing the "hellish" training from Valvatorez; 2) All the money she took from the Mint won't have any effect to pay for her sins since she didn't even gain it as a Prinny; 3) Although she got her [[Take Over the World]] moment, the sin in itself is extremely heavy and thus cannot be paid with the "jillion" HL she got in the first place.}}

* [[Glacier Waif]]

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger]]: One of her poses if she's not holding her bat. [http://i-need-no-username.deviantart.com/art/Fuuka-Objection-179593938 And no, it hasn't gone unnoticed by the fandom].

* [[Hunter of His Own Kind|Hunter Of Her Own Kind]]: She initially despises the Prinnies and joins the Prinny X-Terminators. Although she eventually realizes that exterminating the Prinnies is wrong, she refuses to believe that she's (supposed to be) a Prinny.

* [[Implausible Deniability]]: No matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, she will never admit that she's dead. On the plus side, it is part of the [[Achievements in Ignorance|reason]] why she is able to keep up with demons and angels despite being an [[Ordinary High School Student|ordinary middle school student]].

* [[Mythology Gag]]: For her final attack, Fuka summons [[Bonus Boss]] Pringer X.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary Middle School Student]]: Or at least she was...

* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: {{spoiler|In the [[Nonstandard Game Over|Fuka ending]], she decides to turn the Netherworld into her own personal Celestia by making it more girly. Her first order of business is making the freshly-defeated Fenrich and Valvatorez her maids.}}

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Well, something like that. One of the NPCs says that she's a human soul with a Prinny cap on, and everyone mentions that she's dead (to her eternal denial).

* [[Persona Non Grata]]: {{spoiler|Flonne}} banned her from Celestia forever.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Sailor Fuku]]

* [[Say It With Hearts]]: Occasionally uses either a ♥ or a ♪.

* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Supports Valvatorez/Vulcanus {{spoiler|(Artina)}}

* [[Sweet Tooth]]

* {{spoiler|[[Take Over the World]]:}} Her ambition [[Improbable Age|at the age of five!]]

* [[The Grim Reaper]]: And boy is it young. {{spoiler|Problem is, he has never taken a soul before.}}

** {{spoiler|Emizel does end up taking a soul at the end of the main story: Judge Nemo's soul.}}

* [[In the Hood]]: Subverted, he is not trying to hide anything or avoid attracting attention, though it adds a [[The Grim Reaper]] look to him, [[Shinigami|fittingly enough]].

* [[Jive Turkey]]: On occasion.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: During the Next Episode segments.

* [[Picky Eater]]: In contrast to Valvatorez, he hates fish.

* [[Really 700 Years Old]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

* [[Squishy Wizard]]

* [[The Starscream]]: Eventually becomes one to {{spoiler|President ''Axel''.}}

== Vulcanus(?){{spoiler|/Artina}} ==

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: To Valvatorez, Artina possessed the purest of heart, which is why he doubted that she and money-grubbing Vulcanus were the same person. {{spoiler|Turns out the money-grubbing was ''mostly'' an act.}}

* [[I Was Just Passing Through]]: She's only joining the team because they owe her money. Really!

* [[Justified Criminal]]: Or so does she ''insist''.

* [[Kill the Cutie]]: See [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]] below.

* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: Even though she's an angel, it kind of relates {{spoiler|to the fact she's Artina}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Reincarnation]]: Accompanied by [[Reincarnation Romance]].}}

* [[Show Some Leg]]: One of her poses.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: The most stripperiffic angel in Disgaea's history!

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Two of her attacks are based on the attacks used by previous [[Disgaea]] final bosses. Her "Final Boss Arises" is "[[Disgaea 2|Zenon's Dark Revenge]]" and her "True Godly Weapon" is "[[Disgaea 3|Aurum's Demon Slayer]]".

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

* [[Third Person Person]]

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The Girly Girl to Fuka's Tomboy since Fuka didn't want a tomboy little sister. Luckily for her, Desco listens to every word Fuka says. Being naturally [[Moe]] helps.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Rarely goes more than a sentence without using the word "desu" in the Japanese audio.

The 61st President of the Netherworld and Emizel's father. Valvatorez decides to try and remove him from his position when learns that Hugo and his Corrupterment has begun exterminating all Prinnies. As the story progresses, further abuses of the Corrupternment come to light. {{spoiler|When he's finally confronted, Valvatorez recognizes him as Death King Hugo, a rival from his Tyrant days. It's eventually revealed that Hugo was forced into making a deal with Nemo to make up for the loss of fear energy in the Netherworld. His actions were to hide this fact, and the decline of all demons' powers from a lack of fear energy.}}

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: In the Netherworld, this is how someone gets the title of President. {{spoiler|Eventually loses it after being defeated by Valvatorez.}}

* [[Corrupt Politician]]: {{spoiler|Subverted, he was trying to protect the Netherworld as best as he could.}}

* [[Kick the Dog]]: His treatment of Emizel. {{spoiler|He fakes Emizel's death to prevent being blackmailed. However, cruel as that was, he ''does'' care for his son and faked his death to avoid having Emizel dragged into the mess with Nemo, protecting him in a way.}}

* [[Large and In Charge]]

== Nemo ==

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Nemo" is Latin for "no one" as [[Lampshade Hanging|Desco points out]].

* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Pronounced "Neh-mo" in Japan while pronounced "Nee-mo" in English.

* {{spoiler|[[Omnicidal Maniac]]: He wants to destroy the Human World for all of the crap and hatred it put him through. Doing this would also wipe out the Demons' source of fear energy, and the Angels' faith energy, dooming them as well.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Villain Override]]: Sort of. In the last chapter he's used as the host of Fear the Great, a program made by [[God Is Evil|God]] to destroy any planet that had too much malice. In the final battle it overtakes him completely.}}

* {{spoiler|[[War Is Hell]]: He experienced this firsthand, and it's part of the reason for his [[Start of Darkness]].}}

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: {{spoiler|Even when you think you've taken apart one of his plans, you find out he has yet another. Particularly in episode 10 when every time the party attempts to destroy the moon, he's got one more plan behind it, whether it's blowing up the moon, creating a black hole, or sending it on a collision course towards Earth.}}

Fuka's father. From what she says about him, he's always working and never visits her. {{spoiler|He turns out to be a researcher from the human world that is funded by Nemo, and he's also the creator of Desco. It's ultimately revealed that his research was to fulfill his late wife's last request, which was to fulfill the wishes of Fuka. Those wishes were having a little sister and taking over the world - not that she remembers.}}

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: In the DLC cut scenes, he's always ready to fix a ship if something goes wrong. In the case of [[Soul Nomad|Gig]], he even had crates of hotpods prepared for him.

* [[Bumbling Dad]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]: It's his ''title''.

* [[Married to The Job]]: {{spoiler|With a twist - it's revealed he was doing everything for his daughter.}}
