Tropes for the characters in the ''[[Lufia]]'' series.
==
=== The Hero ===
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: The first one starting the trend in this franchise.
* [[
* [[Magic Knight]]: Can cast healing magic up to the strongest healing spells while dishing out enough damage with his sword.
* [[No Name Given]]: Until now he still doesn't have an offiial name.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: In fact, the trope name is probably the only way to refer to him canonically.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: Have a shed of it, though not as bad as Maxim. He tried to leave for adventuring without telling Lufia so she wouldn't be in harm.
* [[The Hero]]▼
=== Lufia/{{spoiler|
*
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: She does NOT like any other female characters getting near the hero.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Strangely enough,
* [[Shock and Awe]]: She's the one learning most of the thunder spells, which are the main weakpoint of Gades, Amon and Daos.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
▲* [[Generation Xerox]]: Strangely enough, {{spoiler|she "dies" in a very similar pose to Selan at similar place}}. Both being token love interests.
=== Aguro ===
* [[Badass Normal]]: He never learns magic, but his attack power is great.
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: He's got his ''green'' hair slicked back.
Line 31:

{{quote|"Leave it to me!"}}
The main character of the second game, he goes on an adventure that becomes part of the original game's history. He's one of the four heroes who battled on Doom Island.
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Selan.▼
* [[Can't Drop the Hero]]: Though a few characters stick around for entire halves of a game at a time, Maxim is the only character who never leaves the party.
** Averted for a single boss battle in the original when the team has to defeat two enemies at the same time. He and Tia fight one while Guy and Selan fight the other.
* [[The Chosen One]]▼
▲* [[Battle Couple]]: With Selan.
▲* [[The Hero]]
*
* [[Jack of All Stats]]
* [[Magic Knight]]
Line 49 ⟶ 51:
* [[Playing with Fire]]: In the DS version.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
▲* [[The Chosen One]]
* [[The Hero]]▼
* [[Todd Haberkorn]]
Line 61:
* [[Action Girl]]: She's more capable in ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' as a range attacker.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: While her frying pans and whips make sense in the original, her new appearance uses a big luggage that contains a spring-attached boxing glove and a hookshot.
* [[Shorttank]]: She's redesigned to be like this in the DS version, which helps her stand out from Selan more.▼
* [[Trying Not to Cry]]/[[Unable to Cry]]: She forced herself to never cry again, so that she can no longer cry.
* [[Tsundere]]: In the DS version.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]
▲* [[Shorttank]]: She's redesigned to be like this in the DS version, which helps her stand out from Selan more.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: In the original version.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
=== Guy ===
Line 75:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: He goes from being an elderly NPC in the original, to being a main playable character in the second game that takes place in his past. Not counting his [[A Taste of Power]] bit toward the start.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: In the original game. The man lived for all the years between ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and ''Fortress of Doom''.
* [[Badass Normal]]: He never learns magic, but he is quite powerful.
* [[The Big Guy]]: In the DS version.▼
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: A little bit. More so in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]
* [[The Lancer]]: In the SNES version.▼
* [[Made of Iron]]: Can become so explosions do no damage to him in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''.
▲* [[The Big Guy]]: In the DS version.
▲* [[The Lancer]]: In the SNES version.
=== Selan ===
Line 87:
{{quote|"We've finally done it Maxim. Now... the world will be at peace once more."}}
The commander of the Parcelyte army with magic capabilities. When Maxim's party shows up, she's ordered to team up with Maxim. Over time, she grows to love Maxim, and the two wed. She's one of the four heroes who battled on Doom Island.
* [[Action Girl]]: She's Parcelyte army's captain and the strongest warrior of the bunch. One cutscene during Maxim and Selan's happy wedding life montage shows she can go toe-to-toe with Maxim.
* [[Action Mom]]: After marrying Maxim and giving birth to Jeros, her status upgrades into this.
* [[An Ice Person]]: In the DS version.
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Maxim.
* [[Broken Bird]]: DS version, due to the death of her ex-boyfriend.
* [[Caitlin Glass]]
* [[The Chick]]: Somewhat. More noticeable once Tia leaves.▼

▲* [[The Chick]]: Somewhat. More noticeable once Tia leaves.
▲* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
** [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Light blue in the first game, green in second, then light blue again in the remake.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
=== Dekar ===
Line 112:
** He can do this in the remake, by being able to equip nearly any weapon, including Guy's axes.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Likely the most noticeable case of this, at least in the SNES version.
*
* [[Badass Normal]]: In the SNES version, he never learns magic, just like Guy.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:
** In the DS version, he appears from nowhere to get rid of a boss for you.
* [[The Big Guy]]: In either version of the game.
Line 121:
{{quote|'''Dekar:''' The other thing/second thing I'm best at is ''(relevant action)''.}}
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Emphasis on the dumb and muscle, his response to Idura saying he was sent by "a certain someone" is saying he was sent by someone who doesn't have a name, and after proceeds to effortless defeat the monsters he brought. He also goes and falls into every trap Idura sets for him, but always breaks out through sheer brute force.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows a lot about fighting (enough to teach his prince), and even
*
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: In the original, he's go the lowest speed, but the highest physical damage and resistance.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Or rather have their hair colored pink. In the DS version.
Line 136:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In the DS version, while is still important in the story, is not playable.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Back to The Future|Doctor Emmett Brown]] in the DS version.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: He's the first one making a flying ship both in the original and remake, something exclusive to his family.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Moreso in the DS version.
* [[Magic Knight]]: A slightly deviated variant: his INT can be the biggest in the game, but he has a very limited weapon and armor selection, most prevalent in Ancient Cave runs.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: During his time on your team in the SNES version.
* [[Wrench Whack]]: In the SNES version of the game, he equips wrenches. His battle sprite even depicts him with one.
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: People weren't quite sure what to make of Arty, including the German translators, who made him a girl. The DS version thankfully makes it clear he's a male.
* [[The Archer]]: Literally in the SNES version, but keeps the personality traits in every version.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Just like Guy's case, though he was still a bit more important than Guy in ''Lufia
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: Noticeably averted, this time. He's the only one of the four who is just as formal all the time as he appeared in the original game.
* [[Elfeminate]]: May be this, if the gender ambiguous artwork is an accurate portrayal.
* [[Gun Slinger]]: In the DS version.
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: He looks pretty much the same in the original game, 100 years after the Battle of Doom Island. It's unknown how old he is in Lufia II, so he could be 700 in that game too.▼
* [[She's a Man In Japan|He's A Woman In Germany]]
▲* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: He looks pretty much the same in the original game, 100 years after the Battle of Doom Island. It's unknown how old he is in ''Lufia II'', so he could be 700 in that game too.
* [[The Sixth Ranger]]: The game's intro shows all the heroes in the order you meet them, and he's the very last one.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: You find his apprentice in a dungeon in the first game, and they help direct you to Artea's location. Artea never even mentions him.
Line 167:
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Each one has a different element, and would be recommended against enemies of the opposite element.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: They're pretty much useless unless you train them.
* [[Monster Allies]]: Even though they are called monster, they help you in combat.
==
=== Wain ===
* [[Berserk Button]]: Being called stupid ticks him off, and even makes him cry sometimes.
* [[Call to Adventure]]
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: He quickly enters a burning house to save a little girl in her town immediately.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Very much.
* [[Sarcasm Blind]]: He didn't know Gades was mocking him before battle, and other teammates had to point it out.
=== Seena/{{spoiler|
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Her 100% correct prediction ability. {{spoiler|She predicts herself to come back from the death after the epilogue}}.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Fortune Teller]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]▼
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[The Medic]]: Especially in the early game, though she lacks the full-party-heal Champion spells.
* [[The Medic]]▼
*
▲* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]:
=== Dei ===
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Though his durability is only below average compared to the rest of the party. His ultimate armor somehow cripples his defense since it doesn't give addition to his already below average defense.
* [[The Jailbait Wait]]: He and one little girl in his town are serious about getting married when she's old enough.
* [[Just Like Robin Hood]]: His character arc before joining the party.
* [[The Lancer]]: When Seena's not around.
* [[Video Game Stealing]]
Line 206:
* [[Heir to the Dojo]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: On Gades {{spoiler|upon her master's death
* [[Secret Art]]: The final Jigen-Ryuu technique a.k.a. Energy Punch.
Line 215:
=== Melphis ===
* [[Badass Princess]]: She survived an assassination attempt, was doing just fine surviving in the monster infested lighthouse on her own (in fact, it's her ''bodyguard'' who was heavily wounded and ready to kick the bucket when you first meet the duo), was able to cross the entire damn country with Randolph just fine (and given her magical skills and borderline passable physical strength, she likely pulled just as much of the weight), and she basically masterminds the effort to take her country back while ripping pirates to shreds with her ice magic. In fact, given how each character's stats raise, she'll eventually hit harder than ''Seena'', she'll just lack the versatility the latter mage has.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Trades herself to the pirate boss for her friends' safety, and you have to rescue her.
* [[The Medic]]: One of party members whose main role is this.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Just look at her official art.
Line 226:
=== Deckard ===
* [[Expy]]: Of Dekar, no less.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 237:
=== Isaac Shaia ===
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Mimicking Lexis' weapon selection.

==

* [[Palette Swap]]: You can choose the color of his clothes before you begin.
Line 250:
=== Torma ===
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Eldin.
* [[The Lancer]]
Line 259:
=== Dekar ===
* [[Recurring Character]]: He's ''that'' Dekar from ''Lufia
==
=== Gades, Sinistral of Destruction ===
Gades is the Sinistral of Destruction, and he is always the first one to make himself known to the world at large.
* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: If you ever beat him when you were supposed to lose to him.▼
* [[
* [[Black Knight]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: By the end of ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', he looks forward to fighting you, so that he may have a good fight.
* [[The Brute]]: He fights you more than any of the other Sinistrals.▼
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]: In the remake, which has voice-acting, it's finally revealed that Gades' name is pronounced Gah-dess and not Gah-these. In other words, his name sounds exactly like "Goddess". It's exactly as distracting as it sounds.
* [[Flanderization]]: By the time of ''The Legend Returns'', he acts more like an idiot who roaming around destroying places and even his own throne for no reason, for a sake of his [[Memetic Mutation|"frue destruction"
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Your first encounter with him in each game is like this (not counting the prologue in the original game). In the original game, you first meet him right and the start with only your hero, so you're never going to beat at that point. In ''Rise of the Sinistrals'', you are supposed to lose to lose him the first you fight him, and in fact, he's actually stronger at that point then when you fight him later and are supposed to beat him. In ''The Legend Returns'', your supposed to lose the first time fights with him, though if take the right steps, you can beat him.
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]]. He ''is'' left-handed, but uses his right hand in earlier fights during ''Lufia II'' via sprite flipping.
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Recurring Boss]]: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. Even in the original version of the game, he's the Sinistral that you fight the most.
▲* [[The Brute]]: He fights you more than any of the other Sinistrals.
▲* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: If you ever beat him when you were supposed to lose to him.
* [[Tin Tyrant]]
Line 285:
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: In the first two games, though his attacks mostly consist of magic.
* [[Brown Note]]: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', the mere sound of his voice drives all who hear it into a panic.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: He doesn't have any personality traits separating him from Daos in the original game apart, but gets more characterization in the later ones.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: He mops the floor with your party the first several times you meet him in ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' regardless of what your level is.
* [[Physical God]]▼
* [[The Evil Genius]]: He tells Daos that he's set up a few methods of keeping the heroes away from Doom Island. None of them work, but he does at least wreck their airship.
▲* [[Physical God]]
* [[Tin Tyrant]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: His hair color isn't very consistent, but it's never normal.
Line 295:
=== Erim, Sinistral of Death ===
Erim is the Sinistral of Death. Her survival is key to keeping the other Sinistrals from being permanently destroyed. She also happens to

*
*
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: {{spoiler|Does one in the place of Maxim and Selan in the [[New Game+]] of ''Curse of the Sinistrals''}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Noble Demon]]}}▼
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Reincarnation Romance]]: She falls for Maxim hard enough to make her incarnations hook up with his descendants for two generations.
* [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains]]: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', she dresses more revealing than Iris or Selan, for that matter. Even in the original, she wears greek dresses which is still more revealing than the heroines.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: In ''Rise of the Sinistrals''.
* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: In ''The Legend Returns'', she
* {{spoiler| [[The Unfought]]: In the original game, while she's fought in the prologue, she's never fought during the main story
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Rather memetic within the series in that experienced players can tell
▲* {{spoiler| [[The Unfought]]: In the original game, while she's fought in the prologue, she's never fought during the main story.}}
▲* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Rather memetic within the series in that experienced players can tell {{spoiler|that a blue-haired girl of mysterious origin is likely to be Erim in disguise}}.
▲** [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: In the remake.
=== Daos, Sinistral of Terror ===
Line 319:
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: In order to create Guard Daos.
* [[Badass Long Robe]]: He wears a giant armored robe.
* [[Big Bad]]: He is the leader of the Sinistral.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: In all his appearances, he uses nothing but magic.
* [[Final Boss]]: In ''Lufia II'' and ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', sorta in the original game since the combined sinistral is referred as Guard Daos implying his personality is dominant.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Gets a bunch in ''The Legend Returns''.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Several of these with him in ''The Legend Returns''.
* [[Physical God]]
* [
* [[Time Stands Still]]: His main ability in the remake.

▲* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Daos summons him out nowhere after the sinistrals are defeated and the only reason he's around is because {{spoiler|Erim is too weak to be the finalboss (her stats are comparable to Daos', and she's beaten for good after defeating the much stronger Gaurd Daos).}}
=== Arek the Absolute ===
Line 342:
* [[King of All Cosmos]]
