Here's a list of characters from the Video Game God Hand. Needs More Love.

Heroes

Gene

 
 

  "Newsflash, big guy: you can wax on, wax off all you like. I'm still kicking your ass."

 

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 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:


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"--because she now has someone to order around and stop the demons from overthrowing humanity. But if Gene has the right God Hand, where is the left one?

Associated tropes:

Villains

The Four Devas

Belze

 
 

  "I don't trust dirty humans."

 

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?


Associated tropes:


Azel, the Devil Hand

 
 

  "I shall choose my own path."

 

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:

Shannon

 
 

  "Mortal men...so many uses. They can make such wonderful toys!"

 

Shannon is the only female member of the Four Devas who knows exactly what she wants. She doesn't care about the revival of Angra--only seeking pleasures, partying and her own fancies at any cost. She owns several poison chihuahuas and very much would like to make Gene into her "pet". Elvis has a big crush on her. Gene just thinks she's an insane nympho.

Associated tropes:

 

 Gene: I always seem to exceed women's expectations.

Shannon: You certainly exceeded mine!

Gene: Ah yes, another satisfied customer.

 

Elvis

 
 

  "This little huevón is the God Hand? Oh, that's rich!"

 

This fat, heavy cigar-smoking, potty-mouthed member of the Four Devas has a huge crush on Shannon and likes to eat humans. Seeing as how he really likes Shannon, he tries to prove his worth to her by fighting Gene.

Associated tropes:

 

  Belze: "Elvis has left the building."

 

Angra / SATAN

A Fallen Angel, cast down into hell for his pride. The lord of all demons, Angra, filled with anger and hatred, raised an army of spirits and demons in a bid to take over the world of humans. Angra would have succeeded, however a mysterious man with no name appeared and his arms were blessed with the holy power of god. He fought and defeated the demon army, before finally beating the crap out of and sealing Angra away, sending him back down to whence he came. The people he had saved, grateful for this brave savior, gave him the name of "God Hand". The man's arms, the God Hands, were then given to a clan that would protect them from evil, should they be needed again. In the present day, the Four Devas are working to revive Angra, and possibly capture the God Hands to ensure that nothing interferes.

Associated tropes:

"Those who possess this power (the God Hands) are capable of becoming either god or demon."

The Three Evil Stooges

A trio of demons serving the Four Devas, they are comprised of Felix (the horned brute), Bruce (thin guy in green), and Conchita (She whips it good). Felix is the one who severed Gene's arm. Once Gene gains the God Hand, he believes a little payback is in order.

Associated tropes:

Other

Mr. Gold and Mr. Silver

 

Gene runs into these....flamboyant twins early in Stage One. They apparently work for Elvis and will make passes at Gene during their battle.

  • Ass Kicks You: One of their attacks is to scoot towards you, ass-first.
  • Battle Couple: It's unclear if they're actually a couple, but a few of their attacks are preceded by thrusting their pelvises in each others direction, which strongly suggests they are at least lovers.
  • Camp Gay: They speak in very feminine voices, they are prone to yelling "Here I come~!" before attacking, and their outfits include feathers.
  • Combination Attack: They have two. The first where one will hang from the other's shoulders and they spin uncontrollaby around the arena. The other is an unblockable grab where one of them will throw Gene back and the other will spike him into onto the floor.
  • Dual Boss
  • Fridge Brilliance: Why would a seemingly random pair of (admittedly quite muscular) gay guys be such powerful fighters? A: Due to being lovers, they are completely in-sync with each other, and B: They know the male body inside and out.
  • Hard Gay: Their outfits also include biker-esque attire.
  • Manly Gay: They are also extremely talented fighters, and are seriously buff.
  • Wake Up Call Boss: If you haven't realized that the game is Nintendo Hard yet, these guys will have no problem demonstrating it to you.

The Mad Midget Five

A group of sentai-themed little people all named after card suits (Joker/Diamond/Club/Spade/Hearts).

Gorilla Mask

A gorilla in a luchador suit. The gorilla bit is also a costume.

Associated tropes:

  • Malevolent Masked Ape
  • Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie: He's a Luchador Gorilla. Examining him after the fight reveals a zipper on the back, indicating there is at least one more layer; and then consider that demons in this game typically disguise themselves as humans...
  • Power-Up Food: He sometimes does a dance to summon a weak enemy, who in turn, gives him a banana and runs off. You can take the banana before he eats it for health.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Invoked. He's actually a luchador.

Psychic Midget

A highly paranoid telekinetic midget who picked the wrong game to appear in.

Associated tropes:

Great Sensei

Master swordsman fond of sending his student after Gene and appearing through teleporting doors. Can clone himself.

Associated tropes:

Dr. Ion

A clunky old robot with a pet bird and the 5th(?) Deva. Usually is plugged into a charger, but later upgrades to...a back-mounted Battery!

Associated tropes:

Ravel & Debussy

"The rock duo from hell", supposedly they sold their souls to the demons in order to gain great musical talent. Seems to not have worked so well. Ravel is the skinny guy who wields an electicity-shooting guitar. Debussy is the big guy who carries a drum set attached to his body, beatboxes, and sends shockwaves at Gene. They have another guitarist, but he's really just a palette swap of Ravel.
