Legacy of Kain/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

* [[Cool Sword]]: Wields the material Soul Reaver (also known as just "The Reaver"), which encompasses the following:

** [[Ancestral Weapon]]

** [[Elemental Powers]]: Acquires them in ''Defiance'' with the Balance Emblem, though they're not as traditional as Raziel's: [[Playing With Fire|Fire]], [[Teleport Spam|Dimension]], [[Shock and Awe|Lightning]], [[Time Stands Still|Time]], and [[Eleventh Hour Superpower|Spirit]] (The latter of which {{spoiler|he acquires upon the Reaver absorbing Raziel's soul in the game's climax, transferring the Spirit element from the spectral Soul Reaver to the material version.}})

** [[Elemental Powers]]: Acquires them in ''Defiance'' with the Balance Emblem, though they're not as traditional as Raziel's: [[Playing With Fire|Fire]], [[Teleport Spam|Dimension]], [[Shock and Awe|Lightning]], [[Time Stands Still|Time]], and [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Spirit]] (The latter of which {{spoiler|he acquires upon the Reaver absorbing Raziel's soul in the game's climax, transferring the Spirit element from the spectral Soul Reaver to the material version.}})

** [[Named Weapons]]

*** This one also applies to Havoc & Malice, the axes he dual wielded in the original Blood Omen.

Line 45:

** ''"Poor William."''

** ''"I always was considered heartless."''

** ''"[[Alas Poor Yorick|Alas, poor Nupraptor]], I knew him well... well not really."''

** ''"[[Alas, Poor Yorick|Alas, poor Nupraptor]], I knew him well... well not really."''

** In banter with Marcus;

{{quote| '''Marcus:''' You tried to murder me!<br />

Line 58:

* [[Large Ham]]: And ''how''... which inevitably led to:

** [[Ham to Ham Combat]]: Between him and Raziel at least twice in ''Soul Reaver''. He also gets some [[Large Ham|hammy]] time with Moebius in '''Defiance''.

* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]: He's at his prettiest in ''Blood Omen 2''.

* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: He's at his prettiest in ''Blood Omen 2''.

* [[Magic Knight]]

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Arguably. He does get manipulated a lot, but since his enemies have the advantage of being [[The Omniscient]], to even come close to fighting back against their machinations is quite an achievement.

Line 281:

The last Ancient Vampire and one of the highest-ranking of them, he is Vorador's sire and the one who commissioned the forging of the Soul Reaver. This also makes him the only person who understands its true purpose and thus the key to many mysteries. {{spoiler|It was his heart, torn out and preserved as a dark relic by the Sarafan when they killed him, that revived Kain as a Vampire way back in ''Blood Omen''.}}

* [[Almost Dead Guy]]: In ''Soul Reaver 2''.

* [[Almost-Dead Guy]]: In ''Soul Reaver 2''.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Closest to Type III. Janos is probably the only character in the series who is unambiguously good and is always portrayed as helpful, gentle, and wise. However, he's still {{spoiler|a servant of the Elder God}} with the rest of his race, even if he doesn't realize it, which potentially casts a shadow on everything he does.

* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}

Line 292:

* [[Leitmotif]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWDzqB8TMcI The gorgeous piece of music/ambience that plays in his mountain retreat] in ''Soul Reaver 2'' is briefly reprised in ''Defiance'' when {{spoiler|Raziel brings him [[Back From the Dead]]}}.

* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: ''Yaw''-nohs.

* [[No Shirt Long Jacket]]

* [[No Shirt, Long Jacket]]

* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]{{spoiler|: [[Crapsack World|Unfortunately, what he's really worshipping is an]] [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Crapsack World|masquerading as a god]].}}

* [[Religious Bruiser]]

Line 330:

* [[The Empath]]: According to the Silicon Knights FAQ, Nupraptor is "hypersensitive to peoples' emotions and thoughts" and was more than a little unstable due to this- even before Ariel's death.

* [[Eye Scream]]: During his [[Freak Out]], he ends up sewing his eyes and lips shut.

* [[Eye Scream]]: During his [[Freak-Out]], he ends up sewing his eyes and lips shut.

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]

* [[My Brain Is Big]]

Line 412:

* [[The Good King]] -> [[Tin Tyrant]]

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: You don't want a guy called ''the Nemesis'' descending on your village.

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] -> [[Zero Percent Approval Rating]]

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] -> [[Zero-Percent Approval Rating]]

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: His armies, along with their creepy red armor. The Nemesis himself is extra-spiky.

* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: One of the few characters who shouldn't have been voiced by Tony Jay. As the Nemesis, perhaps, but not the polite, unsure boy we see.

Line 490:

* [[Super Senses]]: In just about every form except for sight - he's actually blind.

** Maybe not completely blind; when Raziel is waving the glowing wraith blade in his face he seems to be reacting to it. If so, he can presumably see bright lights, but since he's {{spoiler|kept underground in a gloomy pit}} his eyes are useless to all intents and purposes.

* [[Wham Line]]: When he first appears you probably have no idea who or what he is, you just know he recognizes Raziel somehow. And then Raziel mutters his name, and suddenly the scene takes an interesting turn.

* [[Wham! Line]]: When he first appears you probably have no idea who or what he is, you just know he recognizes Raziel somehow. And then Raziel mutters his name, and suddenly the scene takes an interesting turn.

== Introduced in Blood Omen 2 ==

Line 525:

* [[Hunter of His Own Kind]]: As he puts it, "Who better to kill a vampire than a more powerful vampire?"

* [[Jump Physics]]: The power Kain gets for killing him.

* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[Mad Bomber]]

* [[Puzzle Boss]]
