Mega Man Star Force/Characters: Difference between revisions

----

 

* [[Badass]]: Not so much in the first game, but he grows into it by the 3rd game.

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[Clark Kenting]]: Ohhhhhh, yes. He takes absolutely no measures in adjusting his voice and he's the only person with that particular hairstyle in all three games, so this banks almost entirely on a personality-disconnect between his lives.

* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: At [[Kid Hero|twelve years old]], Geo's this by default, but he's especially cute when we see his ''little'' little kid appearance in ''Black'' and ''Red'' flashbacks.

* [[Fighting Your Friend]]: This happens whenever he is forced to fight against Luna, Sonia, Bud, or [[Played for Drama|Pat]], which tends to happen [[Once an Episode|once per game]], but mostly with Bud; by the third game neither Queen Ophiuchus nor Gemini Spark are present and Harp Note can't be fought.

* [[Finishing Move]]/ [[Limit Break]]: 14 in all (over the course of the games, 3 in Star Force 1 and then 7 in both Star Force 2 and Star Force 3), including

** [[Death From Above]]: Meteor Light Barrage

** [[Flechette Storm]]: Demon Flurry and Enma Gale Garrison

* [[Mysterious Protector]]: Serves this purpose for Luna, though only for the first game.

** His dedication to protecting Luna helps him actualize his Star Force (Star Break) powers in the first game, and when Luna gives him a [[Cooldown Hug]] in the second game, it helps him take control of his [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome|Tribe]] [[Artifact of Doom|form]], which was making him go crazy.

* [[Panty Thief]]: Poor boy has trouble wrenching himself away from the "[[Unusual Euphemism|little girl's secret]]" he finds in Luna's wardrobe in ''Black'' and ''Red''.

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: While transformed, he also barely smiles for most of the first game.

* [[School Play]]: How Luna gets him to school.

** Later, when Pat is unable to perform, Geo inherits the [[Cheap Costume]] for [[Hilarity Ensues|major irony points]] as Luna shoves him into the lead role of... [[Loves My Alter Ego|himself]].

* [[Wacky Parent, Serious Child|Serious Child]]: Even as MegaMan, he can't get a handle on his mother's quirks.

* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: ''Averted'' in the anime, where Geo's natural sense of heroism suffers less from the prolonged depression of the games. The kid will often run ''into'' manifestly dangerous situations in the hope that he can do something, even if Mega isn't around to help. To date, these situations have included: Luna almost falling from a damaged skytram, Gemini Spark causing trouble, and a mass virus outbreak.

* [[Team Dad]]: Keeps the gang from breaking down during the third game after Luna is taken from them.

 

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type III. He has very few qualms doing things like pulling Geo around, erasing information that could get either of them in trouble, or doing really dick moves (like knocking people out with a pitching machine) in the name of getting his goals accomplished, but at heart he's a decent being who genuinely wants his human partner to live a little.

** Its not entirely certain what the deal is with the OOParts - they were known to have destroyed the tribes they originally belonged to, but when they speak to Geo and Omega, they use a definite plural in self-reference, which implies that the tribe may have been absorbed into the artifacts.

* [[Badass]]

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Luna - Sonia's much more perky and outgoing than Luna is, and for bonus points, Sonia's color is red (her hair is purely this, plus her jacket and other clothes are various shades of red and pink), while Luna exhibits a great deal of blue (her uniform jacket and swimsuit).

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: A character she plays on TV lets one out in the anime.

* [[Sailor Fuku]]: Wears one during [[Bullfight Boss|Taurus Fire]]'s rampage in the third game.

* [[The Determinator]]: "This light has called us to defeat this evil!" proclaimed in the face of the '''[[Planet Eater]]''' Andromeda.

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: In the anime Copper has some truly insane driving skills, being able balance his car at a forty-five degree angle on a railguard and still be able to drive forward. Omega-Xis was most impressed.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: See [[Catch Phrase]].

* [[Occult Detective]]: Well, extraterrestrial detective, maybe.

* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Copper is actually quite competent, he's just utterly out of his league. Even in the anime, which gives him more screen time, MegaMan evades his clutches only through the virtue of his superhuman abilities. Again, Geo and Mega probably aren't helping things with their [[Idiot Ball|unquestioning distrust]] of the badge.

* [[Tsundere|TsunTsun]]: Ohhhhhhh, yes. Solo's not going to kill Geo because he has a bond with Mu, he's going to kill Geo ''[[Insistent Terminology|because it's fun]]''.

{{quote|Solo: Shut up, Laplace.}}

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Cool Sword|Swords]] and [[Good Old Fisticuffs|Martial Arts]].

** Rogue's martial arts apply the following tropes: [[Armed Legs]], [[Dance Battler]],<ref>Part of his full combo involves a gratuitous backflip. Not that the opponent will be able to dodge that well after he landed the first blows.</ref> [[Elemental Punch]]/[[Rocket Punch]], [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]], [[Shockwave Stomp|Shockwave Punch]].

** The Laplace Blade applies the following tropes: [[Black Swords Are Better]], [[Empathic Weapon]]/[[Mons]], [[Oddly-Shaped Sword]] --> [[Serrated Blade of Pain]]/[[Sinister Scimitar]],<ref>The Laplace Blade is designed to gore the opponent rather than just cleave them into pieces. One of Rogue's attacks with it is a large, direct slash that causes multiple lesser wounds and [[Standard Status Effects|temporary paralysis.]]</ref> [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]].

* [[We ARE Struggling Together!]]: This more or less defines the relationship between him and Geo.

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Over the course of the first game, it's hinted strongly that Pat ''would've'' joined Geo's circle of friends, though he feels as though he isn't worthy and refrains from officially joining the "team". He's still working through those issues in the second game. The third? [[Brother Chuck|Well...]]

* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]}}: {{spoiler|Of the [[Jekyll and Hyde]] variety.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Gollum Made Me Do It|Gollum And I Were In This Together]]}}: {{spoiler|Pat's perfectly content to send the world spiraling into chaos - his major conflict is that [[Big Bad Friend|he doesn't want Geo involved]]. Rey helps him get over it.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Character Development]]}}: When you [[Easter Egg|Happen Across Him]] in the afterstory of the second game, {{spoiler|he's finally realized Rey isn't doing him any favors. As a bonus, Rey is [[Scrappy Mechanic|no longer your only target!]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Bad Samaritan]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Card-Carrying Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|Motivations aside, Mega finds her ultimate goals to be rather laughable. In the anime, where her motivations are never discussed, she comes off poorly for it. "Well, maybe you shouldn't trust bad adults!"}}

* [[Compressed Adaptation]]: The anime runs itself out of juice before it gets a chance to explore her origins. {{spoiler|So her reveal as the villain is sapped of most of its weight, though people who know her game story will be able to pick up on why she has that [[Freak-Out]] over Empty's death.}}

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Oh, man. She is ''not'' a happy lady.

* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Hollow is the animate [[Super Prototype]] of the technology known as Matter Waves, and functionally the world's first Wizard. Also, in case you didn't catch it above, he's also Vega's attempt at resurrecting her lover, though she refuses to admit that he's a different person.}}

* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]: With a Murian Shamanic motif, at that.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Again in the anime. When Dr. Orihime sends him into battle to retrieve the OOPArts, [[Curb Stomp Battle|he sees no particular need to be gentle]].

 

* [[Evil Mentor]]: A side of him only seen in the [[No Export for You|Noise Modification Gear]] functionality. He will encourage MegaMan to aspire to take advantage of Noise Cards and create hands at the highest levels he can. He may even muse over offering MegaMan a seat at Dealer's table.

* [[Expy]]: Early concept art draws deliberate connections between him and [[Mega Man Battle Network|Dr. Regal]]. The two are remarkably similar, down to the natures of their plots, though King's is a bit more fleshed out this time around.

* [[The Faceless]]: Like Vega, his face is hidden in shadow for the first few chapters. It's much less dramatic when he emerges this time, however.

** [[Facial Markings]]: Has strange blue stylings down the sides of his face. No real reason is ever given for these.

** {{spoiler|[[Reverse Mole]]}}

** {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}

** [[Co-Dragons|Shares]] this with Joker later on.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Walks hand-in-hand with her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. Bonus points for occurring at the beginning of the final chapter. {{spoiler|King has just disabled Jack's and Queen Tia's Wave Change, bringing a screeching halt to their plans of revenge. He demands Heartless dispose of them, only for her to turn her back on him then and there, spend a moment detailing precisely how utterly wrong he's been, and then she dumps him through a portal ''into the heart of Meteor G''.}}

* [[Heroic RROD]]: He isn't capable of maintain a EM Wave Change by a long period of time, because {{spoiler|Acid was an EM being made by humans, and making an EM Wave Change with Acid needs a great effort from him}}.

* [[Mysterious Middle Initial]]: [[Capcom]] has not said, but there has been speculation that the "C" stands for Christopher.

* [[Sweet Tooth]]/ [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Mega Snacks.

** The chief example of this occurs at the beginning of the third game, where he buys the school out and they fail to restock.

* [[Theme Naming]]
