Les Légendaires/Characters: Difference between revisions

A Group of heroes from various places that used to be the Official Heroes of Alysia, as they were fighting Darkhell. However, after they accidentally caused the Jovenia Incident, they became despised by Alysia's population. They are now attending to repare their mistake by trying to find a way to free Alysia from the Jovenia Effect, while assuming their heroes role again.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: litterally, when they broke the Stone of Jovenia and caused the Jovenia Incident.

* [[Cool Sword]]: not only can Danael's sword [[Absurdly Sharp Blade|cut through almost anything]], it also possess the abilitie to be attracted to its owner whenever he wishes so.

* [[Guile Hero]]: has shade of this. Being the leader, he usually plan the strategy before any plan and is quite good at it. According to his brother Ikael, he takes pride in his abilitie to control events.

* [[Good Is Not Soft]]: deconstructed, to the point it's sometimes borderline [[Good Is Not Nice]]; even though Danael means well and usually has very good reason to do what he does, he is will occasionnally be willing to [[Shoot the Dog]] for the greater good, such as {{spoiler|ordering Shimy's death so Anathos can't have her body.}} He even once threatened Halan to [[Fate Worse Than Death|stab him with a Darkhellion stinger]] under the effect of anger.

A former Monslave Jaguarian who joined the Legendaries and became Danael's bestfriend. Gryf symbolizes the value of Bravour. {{spoiler|He is later revealed to be Prince Anoth-Cha, prince of Jaguarys and brother of King Kel-Cha.}}

* [[Amber Eyes]]: his eyes are full-yellow. Seems to be a common characteristic amongst Jaguarians.

* {{spoiler|[[The Berserker]]: like most Jaguarians, whenever he is close to another Jaguarian or a Jaguarian vestige, and lacking a Katseye, Gryf will loose his self-control and turn into an uncontrolable raging beast. Solved after the Anathos Cycle.}}

* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]: as shown in Book 5, Gryf has few scrupples asking to be paid for his services; he also seems to be quite a pervert occasionnally.

[[File:Jadina 5215.png|frame|<ref>[[File:Jadina Post Anathos 3591.jpg|frame]]</ref>]]

** {{spoiler|[[Badass in Distress]]: when Abyss had injected her with Antimag, leaving her powerless, and was about to have her executed. Yet she ''still'' saved her comrads.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Healing Factor]]: she gains a ridiculously powerful one after her reincarnation: she could regenerate her broken arm within seconds, survive a magic deflagration and even getting her troath ripped apart by Tenebris yet surviving.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Humanoid Abomination]]: hinted several times after her resurrection; Shimy, after seeing Jadina's aura, mentionned twice she was nothing human anymore.}}

* [[The Leader]]: shortly assumed the role in Book 5 after an argument with Danael. {{spoiler|Becomes permanantly it after Danael got possessed by Anathos.}}

* [[Staff Chick]]: her personnality and [[Weapon of Choice]] fit the trope, but her fighting style is closer to a [[Black Magician Girl]].

A [[Barbarian Hero]] from the Country of Rymar. Razzia symbolizes the value of strenght. Though he was originally a physical atlethe and a colossus, the Jovenia effect turned him back to his children form, which is a fat kid, though he retains his natural strenght. {{spoiler|He actually used to be Korbo the Red Shadow, Darkhell's lientenant.}}

[[File:Razzia 3890.png|frame|<ref>[[File:Razzia post Anathos cycle 3409.jpg|frame]]</ref>]]

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: occasionnally.

* {{spoiler|[[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: he went from a fat cheerful little kid to Darkhell's [[The Dragon|Dragon]] and one of the most sinisterly remembered murderer of Alysia.}}

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: an archeology expert with a [[Barbarian Hero]]'s physic and strenght.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: subverted; he appears as this due to his tendencies to understand some things slowly, but he is actually extremely smart, and possess a large knowledge about monsters and archeology.

* [[Made of Iron]]: in Book 6, an adult Darkhell shoots him with a deadly spell. He is barely injured, but still has enough strenght to rise again.

* [[One-Man Army]]: litterally; {{spoiler|he actually slaughter a whole army of elite soldiers of his own as an adult.}}

* {{spoiler|[[A Boy and His X|A Man Turned Back Into A Boy And His Shapeshifting Demonical Arm]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Deadpan Snarker]]: she has no scrupple criticizing Razzia's attitude and mistakes.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Evil in a Can]] or [[Sealed Good in a Can]]: a recent spoiler reveals Razzia found her in the ruins of Skroa's palace, imprisonned by Skroa the same way Darkhell trapped him.}}

[[File:Shimy 1185.png|frame|<ref>[[File:Shimy post Anathos 1701.jpg|frame]]</ref>]]

* [[Designated Victim]]: even though all Legendaries get a lot of bad treatment, Shimy gets a surprisingly amongst of this compared to most characters. [[Word of God]] admit she was the author's favourite character (with Razzia), and that he liked making his favourite characters suffer.

* [[Elemental Powers]]: her Elementary Elf status grants her the abilitie to manipulate and merge with the four elements. She only masters Earth and Water at the beginning, but later learn to use Air and Fire as well.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: not that much initially, but after the Anathos Cycle, Sobral took the habits to take advantage on the fact her tomboyish clothings were replaced by a short skirt to put an almost ridiculous amont of [[Panty Shot]] with her. She now seems to get at least one each arc.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: she can use her Elementary fusion abilitie to disguise herself as someone else in a very convincing way. Even Anathos initially fell for it.

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: mercyless threatened a [[Fantastic Racism|Jaguarian-racist]] human mayor with her katana. No one can really blame her for that.

* {{spoiler|[[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: technically, she is an artifcially created [[Our Demons Are Different|Galina]] with ninja skills and who can assume a human form. And later a Jaguarian form.}}

* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]: her real form is a [[Winged Humanoid]] with green feather all over her body and birdclaws}}

* [[The Dragon]]: she used to share the role with Korbo whe she was working for her father.

Another group of heroes that replaced the Legendaries as the Official heroes of Alysia. Unlike the Legendaries, the Fabulous are extremely popular amongst Alysia's people. They initially display arrogant behavior toward the Legendaries, despising them the same way than everyone for the Jovenia Incident, but after the two teams are forced to team up, they end up growing mutual respect.

* [[Badass Normal]]: in contrast with the Legendaries, they are all humans and none of them possess any powers or weapon with magic proprerty (unless you count Toopie's [[Gadgeteer Genius]] as a power). Yet they pretty much kick ass when figthing: Shaki and Michi-Gan are the only known non-Legendarie characters to even succeed in hitting Darkhell in the face. Toopie put it even farer by {{spoiler|actually durably injuring both ''Darkhell and Elysio'' in their [[Badass Abnormal]] states.}}

== Michi-Gan ==

* [[Only Sane Man]]: arguably; he is the only one in his team who is not drivin by a desire of revenge, and is seen attempting to retain Shaki and Toopie when they attempt to fullfill theirs.

* [[Team Dad]]: litterally, seeing as he is Toopie's foster father.

== Shaki {{spoiler|AKA Little Cat Drinking His Milk Bowl}} ==

* [[Last of His Kind]]: he is the last of the Comashawas, an indian-like shamanist tribe.

== Toopie Maker ==

* [[Science Hero]]: she makes for her inexistant fighting skills by using her knowledge in technology to conceive various machines that allow her to fight on the same field than her teammates.

The Silver Falcons are a squad of elite knight formed by the Kingdom of Larbosa and in charge with the most important missions. Danael started out as part of this team, but ended up quitting it. Unlike the Legendarie's Fabulous' [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] statut, the Silver Falcons are actual elite soldiers, and as such are much more disciplined, but also dependant from the law.

== Ikael ==

== Alghar ==

== Saryn ==

Aghar's daughter and Danael's childhood friend, as well as the only female amongst the Silver Falcons.

== Dawn and Dusk ==

The twin Gods of Creation and Destruction. They were apparently the ones amongst the twelve gods who were the most involved in the creation of Alysia, though like the others they left once their job done. They come back during Book 7 and 8, curious to see how Alysia has evolved since their departure. Discovering the Jovenia incident, they are shocked by what they call an "aberration", and give the Legendaries a delay to turn back Alysia to normal before they erase it from existance. {{spoiler|Eventually, however, it's revealed they were merely testing them to see if Alysians have grown mature enough, and leave the planet unharmed.}}

* [[Not So Omniscient After All]]: played for laught; Dusk can see the future, yet he is unable to remember the way to the Gods' home. Dawn apparently thinks it's because he is a man.

== Misery ==

== The Guardian ==

An artificial being created by the gods as one of the three creatures (the others being the Krea-Kaos and the Bearer) left behind. His role was to keep the magic stones used to create Alysia, doing so by forcing anyone who wanted them to go through his palace full of lethal traps. He was the one who gave the Stone of Jovenia to Darkhell as part of a deal, thus indirectly causing the Jovenia Incident. In Book 2, he allows the Legendaries to go throuh his palace in order to get the Stone of Crescia. {{spoiler|Only Danael reaches him in time, but as the Guardian is about to give him the Stone, it's taken by Skroa. He offers Danael to choose another stone instead, but since the knight refuses, he decides to reward him anyway by reviving his teammates. He later shows up again during the Anathos Cycle, recruiting Elysio and Darkhell in an attempt to kill the Legendaries so Anathos won't be able to come back by reincarnating in one of them. When Anathos finally comes back, he provides Darkhell and Elysio with more power so they can fight toe to toe with the God, but they fail, and he is killed soon afterward.}}

* [[Jerkass God]]: gave the Stone of Jovenia to the Evilest sorcerer in all Alysia of ''his own will'', as part of a deal to turn the country of Klafooty into a place where [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]; put fake maps written by the Anciens everywhere so more people would come to die at his tests trying to take stones from him for [[It Amused Me|his own amusement]]; {{spoiler|Attempted to kill ''all'' the Legendaries to prevent Anathos from coming back because he couldn't figure out which one was gonna be Anathos' reincarnation.}}

== The Krea-Kaos ==

== The Bearer ==

== The Gamera Tree ==

== Elysio ==

A mysterious kid met by the Legendaries during their first trip to find the Stone of Crescia. An amnesiac young man who was raised by villagers, he has no memory beyond the Jovenia Incident and is trying to find the stone too in order to discover who he is. He possesses vast magic powers, but is unable to control them. {{spoiler|He is eventually revealed to be an amnesiac Darkhell, who survived the Jovenia incident but lost his memory and control over his magic powers. After creatures called Zar-Iko provide him with a Memoria Serum, he gets his memory back, but reject it, causing his Darkhell and Elysio personnas to split up into two different beings. Now possessing Darkhell's knowledge and memory without his evil intentions, Elysio attempts to redeem himself by helping defeating his evil self.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Good Counterpart]]: becomes this to Darkhell after the Darkhell personnas [[Enemy Without|escaped from his body]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Demotion]]: first played straight then adverted ''big time''; in his first appearance, he was amnesiac and had no more control over his magic powers, making him helpless to the point Danael had to save him from a troll. Later however, after consommating the Memoria Serum, he got back all of Darkhell's memory and powers, as well as a telepathic link to his Darkhell personnas, making him a key element in his counterpart's defeat. Even more so in the Anathos Cycle.}}

== Captain Shamira ==

* {{spoiler|[[Mama Bear]]: just check her reaction when learning she learns the Legendaries (including Shimy) have been promoted as criminals. Not to mention she personnally led the Elven army against Anathos after he scarred her daughter.}}

== Prince Halan {{spoiler|later King Halan}} ==

The prince of Sabledoray, a kingdom allied with Jadina's country of Orchidia. As kids, Jadina and him were friends and bethroded by their parents. Though Halan was genuinely in love with her and happy with it, Jadina was infuriated that her parents attempted to marry her without asking her her opinion, and eventually left with Danael to form the Legendaries. Halan shows up in Book 5, where he informs the Legendaries something is going on at Casthell and insist on coming with them, causing tensions between him and Danael. {{spoiler|It's later revealed he betrayed them and made a deal with Ceyderom in order to alter time so Jadina never met Danael, thus making his marriage with her happen. When the attempt spectacularly backfires with Ceyderom betraying him, past Darkhell killing all the Legendaries but Jadina and Jadina now hating him, Halan eventually feels remorse and commits a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in order to save her. He is then resurrected off-screen when Jadina resets time so the whole time travel never happened. By the Anathos Cycle, he is shown to have become King of Sabledoray. He also moved on with Jadina and started a relationship with Captain Shamira.}}

== Chakra ==

* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Dumb]]: you would think a hightly trained assassin and bodyguard like her would think twice before making a deal with a treacherous [[Lizard Folk|Lizard-man]] working for a [[The Dreaded|Sinisterly famous]] and equally treacherous [[Sorcerous Overlord]] for something as shallow as dealing with a love rival. Or at least, that she would take measure to ensure her secturity when having a meeting with said Lizard-man alone, at night, far from the Kingdom. Well, apparently, {{[[[Too Dumb to Live]] she didn't}}. Raptor even lampshades this trope before killing her.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves]]: Raptor kills her immediatly after she gave him the map to find Jadina.}}

== General Rasga ==

* [[Genre Blind]]: even though he is apparently aware of his alliance with Skalp-Hell's being close to a [[Deal with the Devil]], he appears actually surprised when {{spoiler|he betrays him. Seriously, you make a deal with an [[Evil Sorcerer]] [[Malevolent Masked Man|with a creepy mask]], foundness for [[Evil Laugh]] and [[Manipulative Bastard|who has no problem using your soldiers as pawns]], yet you ''didn't expect him to betray you'' ?}}

== King Kel-Cha ==

* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Mine]]: witht the Legendaries when Skroa attacked Jaguarys. Fortunately enough, this allowed them to find an agreement eventually.}}

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: and to a really respectable level. He personnally takes part in the fight to protect his city when {{spoiler|Skroa}} attacks Jaguarys, and was willing to die in order to ensure its survival.

* [[The Wise Prince]]: despite being supposely younger than Anoth, he clearly was the wisest of the two even as they were kids.

== Queen Adeyrid ==

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: though it's not really shown, she is mentionned to be rather active in her role as a queen.

== Darkhell ==

The [[Arch Enemy]] of the Legendaries. A powerful [[Sorcerous Overlord]] that used to reign on the land of [[Mordor|Shiar]] from his fortress of Casthell. Few times before his [[Final Battle]] with the Legendaries, he attempted to use the Jovenia stone to get his youth back, but the process was interrupted by the Legendaries, and ended up causing the Jovenia Incident. Darkhell was seemingly killed in the process, {{spoiler|but was eventually revealed to have survived, though he lost his memory and became a child like everyone else. Later, when Elysio, his amnesic self, attempted to regain his memory by consuming a serum, the conflicting personnas ended up splitting into two different individuals, thus allowing Darkhell to come back.}}

** [[Badass Normal]]: when compared to [[Our Demons Are Different|Skroa]], [[God of Evil|Anathos]] and [[Humanoid Abomination|Abyss]], Darkhell is a mere human sorcerer. A mere human sorcerer who was [[The Dreaded|the terror of all Alysia]] for years, [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|defeated and imprisonned his demonical rival]], [[Omnicidal Maniac|almost destroyed the Elven World]] and [[Emperor Scientist|created a whole army by his own experiments]]. Um, yeah, [[Not So Harmless]] when you say it that way...

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: his rival was a demonical sorcerer. Not only did he win when they faced each others, but he also imprisonned him, tortured him and de-powered him.

* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: his skin is extremely pale in both form. According to [[Word of God]], it's because of a spell he used on himself to prolongate his lifespan.

* [[Emperor Scientist]]: has shades of this; most of his army was engeenered by him through a genetic-like magic he calls Maginetic.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: when he finds out Jadina and Elysio have been infiltrating his mind, he immediatly orders the Pirahni to prepare for an attack, deducing the Legendaries will come despite the apparent impossibility to attack the island:

* [[Large Ham]]: usually averted; he tends to talks rather quitely most of the time. Get him angry however, and...

* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]: apparently, Darkhell has a foundness for creepy monster-like masks. He wore one as his adult self and wears one again when posing as {{spoiler|Skalp-Hell}}.

* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: double-subvert it in Book 1 of ''Origines'' with one of his lieutnants who failed to bring him Jadina:

== Skroa the Cunning {{spoiler|AKA Vertigo}} ==

A sorcerer from a now extincted demon specie called the Galinas, who once attempted to take over the world at the same time than Darkhell. The two fought, and Darkhell was victorious, but choosed to keep Skroa as a cobaye rather than killing him. {{spoiler|Eventually, few time after Darkhell tested the Jovenia stone on him, turning him back to a regular bird form, Skroa was accidentally freed from his prison by the Legendaries. Now powerless, he posed as Elysio's pet bird Vertigo, hoping him to find a way to restaure him to normal. He enventually succeeded by shallowing the Stone of Crescia.}}

* [[And I Must Scream]]: what Darkhell did to him after defeating him; instead of just kill him, he choosed to keep him as a prisonner and lab rat he used for various of his experiments and delightfully tortured. Skroa describes it to Danael as "Tortures beyond your imagination".

* [[The Chessmaster]]: when compared to Darkhell, Skroa seems to lack fighting skills and bravour, but he makes up by his cunning and abilities to use the others as pawns. He was able to manipulate the Legendaries ''twice'' into reaching his goals for him.

* [[Large Ham]]: ''"At last, after years prisonner of this pathetic body, I'm myself again! Alysia ! Beware the return of SKROA !"''

== Captain Ceyderom ==

The main Antagonist of Book 5 and 6, Captain Ceyderom is a famous pirate who used to be married to a woman named Sigyga. However, when the Jovenia Incident caused them to turn back to childhood, Sigyga left him for his second-in-command, who she had found too old so far. Infuriated, Ceyderom killed them both, but then regretted his actions for years, before deciding to blame the Legendaries for this. Visiting Casthell in order to find a way to solve his misery, he found the Temporhell, an experimental time travel machine created by Darkhell, and attempted to use it in order to erase the Legendaries from existance, sus preventing the whole Jovenia Incident from happening.

* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: despite being known a vicious pirate amongst Alysia's inhabitant, he mentions his love for his wife Sigyga was only match by blood lust.

== Anathos ==

Anathos was one of the Gods who used the Mystical Stones to create the original Alysia. However, he ended up being corrupted by power, and used the stones to create a weapon that allowed him to destroy the recently created world. The weapon eventually became unstable and exploded in his hands, destroying his body but leaving his essence intact. The other Gods then created a new Alysia and trapped him inside a living prison, the Bearer. Eventually, however, Anathos took over the Bearer, and used it to form a plan for his return amongst the living.

* [[Bigger Bad]]: of the serie as a whole.

* [[Combat Pragmatism]]: Anathos has few concern with honor and will usually rather use the most pratical way to reach his goals.

** {{spoiler|Also, he was partially invincible during his appearances because of his Genre Savvyness. When a mysterious woman advices him to not send the Vulturs on the Legendaries and deal with them himself, he is Genre Savvy enough to follow the prophecy-like advice... [[Wrong Genre Savvy|except it was fake and cause his defeat]]. So in some way, you could say he lost because he was ''too'' [[Genre Savvy]].}}

* [[Physical God]]: as soon as he gets a physical body. Before this, he was a [[Sealed Evil in a Can|disincarnated spirit trapped in a living prison.]]

== Abyss ==

* {{spoiler|[[Affably Evil]]: not so much with most of the Legendaries, but when he adresses to Tenebris, he acts genuinely nice and sweet to her. Extremely disturbing when you consider he does so while forcing her to open her mouth with energy tentacle in order to forcefully introduce a [[Puppeteer Parasite]] in her mouth.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: when posing as Vangelis in Book 13, he acts like the nicest guy ever (which, apparently, the real Vangelis was). Book 14 starts gradually frailing his [[Nice Guy]] attitude, until [[The Reveal]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]]: he was behind both Kasino (who he manipulated) and Vangelis (who he impersonnated).}}

A group of villain created by Anathos from the Legendaries' blood (though most of Alysia's population initially believed they were created by reanimating the Legendaries' deadbodies) who serve as his lieutenants during the Anathos Cycle. The Hellions appear as evil, perfected twins of the Legendaries. In contrast with their models, they are cruel, violent and only interested in following their master's orders. They also all possess upgraded versions of the Legendaries' abilities with removal of the weakness.

== Dark Jadina ==

== Dark Gryf ==

* {{spoiler|[[Achilles' Heel]]: as pointed out by Gryf, his permanant Chakounia state, by preventing him from feeling exhausted, makes him unable to realize when he is no longer in state to fight.}}

* [[The Berserker]]: Anathos upgraded his Chakounia state so he could keep it permanantly while staying in control, allowing him to retains the additionnal strenght, rage and immunity to feel exhaustion.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: his Chakounia state allows him to attack with incredible speed, yet he has superhuman strenght.

== Dark Razzia ==

== Dark Shimy ==

* [[Me's a Crowd]]: since using her Elemental power doesn't exhaust her, she can use it to produce seemingly infinite amont of earth-based clones of herself in order to attack.

== Raptor the Green Shadow ==

One of Darkhell's lieutnants and candidates to be his second-in-command after Korbo quitted. He serves as the main villain of Book 1 in ''Origines''.

* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: his plans for Tenebris and his attitude toward Saryn when they fought give hints he might be quite mysogynistic. Granted, this appear to be quite common in Alysia, but still...

== The Black Shadow ==

== The Darkhellions ==

Darkhell's favourite minions. Darkhellions are dragon-like creatures engeenired through magic.

== El Diablo ==

* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: "Caramba !"

== Count Kasino ==

* [[Bad Boss]]: the first time Baraka and Bakara fail to kill the Legendaries (thanks to Tenebris' intererence), he blames their incompetence for it and threatens them with a sword. In a curious [[Inverted Trope|inversion]] of [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]], this is [[Played For Laugh]].

== Baraka and Bakaras ==

Kasino's personnal bodyguards and personnal assassin.

* [[Badass Normal]]: they have no powers, but Jadina stated Gryf was risking his life trying to attack them, hinting they are hightly dangerous. Later, they are shown to be quite efficiant while fighting the Legendaries.

* {{spoiler|[[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: accidentally crushed to death by Shimy when she tries using her elemental magic inside the Gamera Mines, the ambiant Jade causing it to overload.}}

* [[Informed Abilities]]: according to Jadina, they master many fighting techniques and are hightly dangerous. While they are shown to be indeed good opponents, they are portrayed as rather uncompetent fighters, and few of their skills are actually shown.
