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]]

* [[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.

* [[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!]]}}

* [[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.

* [[Villain Sue]]: In the anime. In battle, if you are ever within the radius of Empty's leash, [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|you will lose]]. (And even if you aren't, he can and will use ranged attacks to take pot shots at you). [[Won't Work On Me|Nothing you can do will hurt him...]] unless you take out the [[Weak Spot|machine his leash (and power source) is generated from]]. On the other hand, he's only vulnerable until Orihime feeds him the OOPArts, after which he [[Oh Crap|no longer needs his leash]].

* [[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.

* [[Theme Naming]]
