Here's a list of characters from the [[Video Game]] ''[[God Hand]]''. [[Needs More Love]].
== Heroes ==
=== Gene ===
{{quote|
The player character of ''God Hand'', he's a 23-year-old smartass drifter who really likes beating people up. He firmly believes that he has a "macho" exterior and a strong sense of justice. When he witnesses a young woman being attacked by a gang of demons, he tries to be the Big Damn Hero and save the woman (who was carrying a large box). Things don't go quite as planned, and Gene ends up with his own right arm being hacked off. Olivia (the woman he saved), patches him up by giving him the legendary God Hand to replace his missing arm. With this new arm, Gene is now capable of fighting off the demonic menace... but he is now forced to kill Angra, the ruler of the demons. Because if Gene doesn't do it, Olivia will cut his arm off with a hatchet!
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: The concept artwork has Gene's hair as white, but in the actual game itself, his hair is more of a dirty brown-brunette.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Wears a long, sleeveless coat that reflects his power.
* [[Badass Transplant]]: Well, you don't get born with the God Hand.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: There's no denying that Gene's got a good heart, but the guy really goes along with Olivia's orders so he can brawl with as many demons as he can.
* [[Jerk
* [[Levitating Lotus Position]]: Two of his god roulette moves have him regain health in a floating [[Lotus Position]], Zen Revival and Enlightenment, which heal 30% and 100%, respectively.
*
* {{spoiler|[[
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]
=== Olivia ===
This young lady is actually one of last surviving members of the clan that has guarded the God Hands for centuries. She had barely escaped from the execution of said clan, entrusted with one of the God Hands by her father. She is saved by Gene when she's attacked by Bruce and Felix, and gives Gene the God Hand as a gift of "thanks"
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Olivia carries around hatchet.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: To keep Gene in line.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Olivia shares this with Gene. She is very willing to use the stick instead of the carrot, and threatens to take the God Hand back if Gene doesn't listen.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: She likes to get under Gene's skin, and isn't above threatening him with violence in order to get what she wants, but she ultimately cares about his well-being.
* [["Kick Me" Prank]]: You can say it's thanks to ''her'' that the bad guys are throwing down on Gene. If she didn't slap that sign on his back, he could probably walk around unnoticed to most people. But then, we'd have no game, so...
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: To the extent of having lots of pics of her viewable in the pause screen for no apparent reason.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: The boots version, Grade B.
Line 50 ⟶ 46:
== Villains ==
=== The Four Devas ===
==== Belze ====
{{quote|
He is the leader of the Four Devas. The oldest, most loyal servant of Angra, Belze is fond of holding meetings and wearing cheap suits. He wants nothing more than resurrecting his master and thinks of humans as mere filth. He doesn't like it when Shannon puts her feet on his precious table. He tends to sit on the sidelines while his underlings do all the dirty work for him, but what will he do when he himself is forced to battle Gene?

==== Azel, the Devil Hand ====
{{quote|
The newest member of the Four Devas, Azel is also in possession of the left God Hand, but he chose to side with the demons to further his own goals. Azel is also human, which means he clashes with Belze often.
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Bad Boss]]: He makes no distinction between humans and demons, attacking both if they annoy him.
* [[
* [[Cool Shades]]: Is constantly seen wearing shades.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Eeeeyup. Azel went for the demonic side, and is fighting for his own interests.

* '''[[Jerkass]]''': He has no respect for anyone but himself.
* [[Mirror Boss]]: The entire issue with fighting this guy is that he has the equivalent of Gene's powers and techniques. He can dodge like Gene, fight like Gene, and go super like him too.
* [[The Social Darwinist]]: "In a world where only the strong survive, only the strongest of the strong rule."
* [[The Stoic]]: He's calm and collected in most situations, showing little to no emotion.

* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: {{spoiler|He kills Bruce, Felix and Conchita after failing to kill Gene a second time}}.

* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Has a staff that shoots hearts, uses magic to do interesting things to people, and is a demon.

{{quote|'''Gene:''' I always seem to exceed women's expectations.
'''Shannon:''' You certainly exceeded mine!
'''Gene:''' Ah yes, another satisfied customer.}}
* [[Dominatrix]]: She has a very domineering and promiscuous personality, dresses in skimpy attire, and enslaves an entire town in order to draw out Gene and take the right God Hand from him.

* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: She can do this Gene if she turns him in to a dog.

* [[Purple Is the New Black]]
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: In the first Boss Battle, the arena has a large cage in the center with several [[Power-Up]]s inside; Naturally, if Gene takes the bait, Shannon closes the door and summons two [[Elite Mooks]] inside it. Still, the items is good for [[Boss Arena Recovery]].

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Oh ''yeah''.

'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Attack of the 50
* [[Background Boss]]: A rare 3D variant. He's too huge too fit on the platform you fight on, instead hovering around the edge, so you can only attack his face, or his hands if he misses punching you. It's almost like fighting Giant Baby Bowser from ''[[
* [[Big Bad]]: He's the cause behind the demon outbreak.
* [[Boss Banter]]

A trio of demons serving the Four Devas, they are comprised of Felix (the horned brute), Bruce (thin guy in green)

Line 204 ⟶ 209:
* [[Dominatrix]]: Conchita.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Felix wear spiked maces over his hands.

* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Felix.
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: While a reoccurring threat that can kick Gene's teeth in if the player is careless, they do not actually get any stronger.
*
* [[Kill One, and the Others Get Stronger]]: Downplayed. In the first fight, Conchita stays out until Felix and Bruce are beaten. In the second fight, if ''one'' is beaten, she helps the other, a clear advantage to that one.
* [[Lean and Mean]]: Bruce.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]:
* [[Power Fist]]: Felix has spiked steel balls for his hands.
* [[Terrible Trio]]: Their official title is The Three Evil Stooges.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: The second [[Boss Battle]] with them is likely where the game as a whole gets its [[Nintendo Hard]] reputation. It's ''not'' an easy fight, and it just gets worse from there on.

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me...]]: Azel kills Bruce, Felix

* [[Ass Kicks You]]: One of their attacks is to scoot towards you, ass-first.

* [[Combination Attack]]: They have two. The first where one will hang from the other's shoulders, and they spin
