Monster Girl Quest! Paradox RPG/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

=='''Main Characters'''==

=== Luka ===

 

The hero of the story. While his general background is the same as the original game, the events of the Paradox setting have completely changed his goals. Rather than striving for coexistence, he sets out in search of his missing father.

* [[Badass Family]]: The son of a famous hero {{spoiler|and the distant descendant of an even more famous one. His mother, meanwhile, was Lucifina, the first fallen angel}}.

* [[The Leader]]

* [[Light'Em Up]]: Can learn Holy skills from Ilias and {{spoiler|through his Angel races}}.

* [[Nephilim]]: {{spoiler|Thanks to his mother. In gameplay terms, he can switch between the human and angel races}}.

* [[Really Gets Around]]: Can potentially engage in some manner of sex with almost every single female party member, barring (currently) the Medal Queen. Though some of the monsters are guaranteed to kill him.

* [[Semi-Divine]]: {{spoiler|On his mother's side, he's just two steps removed from the Goddess Ilias herself}}.

* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Looks just like his father Marcellus {{spoiler|and his ancestor Heinrich}}.

* [[Super Intelligence]]: Downplayed, but in the Ancient Temple Ruins it's revealed that he is exceptionally good at math. Ilias attributes this to his lineage.

* [[Supreme Chef]]

* [[The Face]]: He's generally the one who talks to enemy monsters the most.

 

=== Alice ===

The current Monster Lord, inexplicably changed into a younger, weaker form. She has lost contact with her former servants, and is now looking for answers.

 

Her unique trait, "Petite Monster Lord", allows her to always use Black Magic, Dark and Demon Arts skills, and halves the HP cost of all skills.

* [[Black Magician Girl]]: She can always use Black Magic.

* [[Casting a Shadow]]: She can always use Dark skills.

* [[Eye Beams]]: Her Demon Eye skills can inflict various status effects.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: She eats anything that Luka gives her, even literal rocks.

* [[Monster Lord]]

* [[Riches to Rags]]: From the ruler of all monsters to having to ally with a novice hero. She's not even considered in the running for the Monster Lord's position.

* [[Royal Rapier]]: Starts off wielding one, and is certainly royalty.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]

 

=== Ilias ===

 

Her unique trait, "Goddess of Creation", allows her to always use White Magic and Holy skills, and the MP cost of the latter is halved.

* [[Break The Haughty]]: All of her experiences, beginning with her being sealed. She's lost almost all her power, can no longer contact her angels, isn't recognized by humans, and is now threatened by even relatively weak monsters. To get anywhere at all, regardless of whether she is in Luka's party or not, she has to work with the very monsters she despises.

* [[Gold and White Are Divine]]: Has blonde hair and golden ornaments, and white wings and clothing.

* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: Has access to skills that do holy damage, which is effective against most monsters.

* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: Should you recruit her, she steals the Pocket Monster Lord Castle from Alice for the party to use.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: She can't remember any of the circumstances that led to her being shrunk.

* [[Omniscient Morality Licence]]: Sometimes acts as if she has this, despite no longer having the power to back it up.

* [[Physical God]]: Was one, rather. Immediately after being sealed, she's so weak that her Thunder of Judgement is compared to static electricity by Luka.

 

=== Sonya ===

 

Her unique trait, "Club Girl", allows her to always equip Clubs and use Club skills and White Magic, and increases her damage with a club and the effectiveness of her White Magic.

* [[Childhood Friend]]

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Being an Apoptosis}}.

* [[Femme Fatale]]: In the quest in the Nameless Slums, she mentions employing this trope in order to obtain information. That said, she never actually does so over the course of the game.

* [[Friend to All Children]]: She encourages the Four Bandits to apologise for their crimes to the town, and apologises with them.

* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]

* [[Happily Adopted]]: By Lazarus, though in the present, she's the one taking care of him.

* [[The Paladin]]: Albeit one that uses a club.

* [[Religious Bruiser]]

* [[Team Mom]]

* [[Temporal Paradox]]: Possibly, though it's still unclear. Multiple characters note that she shouldn't exist.

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|She is actually an XX-class Apoptosis. Her true nature is only revealed at the end of Part 2}}.

* [[White Magician Girl]]: She can always use white magic, but she certainly doesn't fit the other requirements of the trope.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Nuruko ===

 

Her unique trait, "Mysterious Being", gives her normal attacks a chance of causing the Slimed status, increases the damage of Tentacle skills, and makes her immune to attacks that do 30 damage or less.

 

=== Promestein ===

 

Her unique trait, "Mad Scientist Angel", allows her to always use Medicine and Magic Science skills and increases the damage of the latter .

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her name is a portmanteau of Prometheus and Frankenstein.

* [[The Medic]]: She can always use Medicine skills.

* [[Trapped in Another World]]: From her perspective. It turns out that {{spoiler|the mysterious scientists who ran the Ancient Temple Ruins deliberately brought her here, for unknown purposes}}.

* [[Younger Than She Looks]]: Looks to be in her late teens, but is over 200 years old.

 

=== Brynhildr ===

A gynoid encountered in the Ancient Temple Ruins, the remains of a laboratory. Initially known as the Sleeping Beauty for her dormancy, she suddenly woke up when Luka touched her capsule. After fighting the party in a misunderstanding, she joins them in order to fulfil her mission of saving the world.

 

Her unique trait, "Machine Commander", allows her to always use Makina, Gun, Holy and Dark skills, increases the damage of Makina and Gun skills by 30%, and allows her to use some Makina skils without the prerequisite key items.

* [[Dual Wielding]]: She has two curved blades attached to her arms.

* [[Emotionless Girl]]: She gives this impression initially, but seems to develop emotions over time. Promestein notes that she has unnecessarily advanced emotional capability.

* [[Gatling Good]]: One of her weapons.

 

=== Lucifina-chan ===

* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: She can only be recruited (and isn't even created otherwise) on the Ilias route.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Micaela-chan ===

* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: She can only be recruited (and isn't even created otherwise) on the Ilias route.

 

{{hardline}}

* [[Dream Sequence]]: He's led by Ilias into thinking that all of his experiences in the party are a dream that she's using to train him.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: He looks like a more muscular version of Luka, has the same skillset, and also traveled around the world accompanied by the Monster Lord he set out to defeat.

* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: He can only be recruited on the Ilias route.

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: He has no idea about the Reminan princess' feelings for him, despite her offering a royal heirloom to him as a gift. When the king starts talking about marriage, Heinrich tells him that the princess should be allowed to marry someone she genuinely loves.

 

=== Alicetroemeria ===

A strange "human" mage found 500 years in the past, accompanying Heinrich on his journey. She is in fact the Black Alice of 500 years ago, though her true goals are unclear. She can only be recruited on the Alice route.

 

* [[Devil in Disguise]]: Though it's an extremely poor disguise.

* [[Drama-Preserving Handicap]]: She refuses to use any more power than a human mage could possess, in order to maintain her roleplaying. This leads to a case of [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]], as she has seven different monster races and an extremely powerful trait.

* [[Interface Spoiler]]: If her appearance wasn't enough proof, her list of races in the menu shows that she has access to seven, one more than Alice does. Only Monster Lords have that many races.

* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: She can only be recruited on the Alice route.

* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Parent by adoption, but still qualifies.

* [[The Don]]: {{spoiler|He's actually the leader of the Mafia, but keeps this a secret from Luka and Sonya.}}

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: His cut-in depicts him firing two handguns at once.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: He now uses guns, as they don't need as much strength as swords.

 

=== Queen Harpy ===

The ruler of the Harpy race. Shortly before the events of the game, she and the rest of her race mysteriously disappeared. It turns out that {{spoiler|the harpies had been infected by ALQK5, a supposedly-extinct virus that causes them to become obsessed with breeding. To avoid bringing harm to others, they locked themselves up in a tower}}.

* [[Heroic Willpower]]: She tries to avoid attacking the party when they reach her, but eventually loses out to the effects of {{spoiler|the virus}}, forcing you to fight her.

* [[Ill Girl]]: {{spoiler|Even after you beat her, it turns out that due to her great power, a large amount of the World Tree's fruit is needed to cure her. Since you can't access the World Tree yet, she remains affected by the virus for the entirety of Part 1}}.

 

=== Sluggy Stars ===

Three slug queens, who inhabit a tower near Midas Village. Their efforts to repopulate their race lead to an overabundance of slug girls in Midas Village, forcing Luka's party to deal with them.

 

Their unique trait, "Triple Slime", causes their normal attack to hit three times and have a chance of inflicting the Slimed status, causes Slime skills to hit twice, and makes them immune to Slimed.

* [[The Dividual]]: They're treated as one character, to the point that they share a HP bar (and MP and SP bars), though they can act multiple times. This raises questions about the [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]], especially since they still appear as multiple characters on-screen.

* [[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]: To recruit them, Luka has to show that he has the respect of the Slug race. This requires getting a slug race companion's Affection to 100 to obtain the Slug Medal, and then giving it to the Sluggy Stars.

 

 

=== Nanabi ===

A high-ranking kitsune, one of Tamamo's two aides. At her orders, she guards the entrance to the final room in the Cave of Treasures. {{spoiler|Unknown to her, the Tamamo she followed was actually a recording of one from a parallel world, created by the White Rabbit for the purposes of leading Luka's party}}.

 

 

=== Meia ===

A mermaid living in Port Natalia. She is the first of the mermaids to go missing. It turns out that she was in fact brainwashed by Astaroth into taking the throne of the Queen of the Southern Seas, and was the one who kidnapped the fishermen and other mermaids.

 

 

=== Kraken ===

* [[Alien Hair]]: Her hair consists of tentacles and fins, as if a squid were sitting on top of her head.

* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: In her dried squid form, she can't move and can only talk. She's nearly eaten on several occasions.

 

=== King of San Ilia ===

[[Exactly What it Says on the Tin|The king of San Ilia]], and the leader of the faith in Ilias, effectively making him the Pope of the setting. His real name is Peter the 14th. The party meets with him to try to gather more information.

 

 

=== Chrome ===

A diminutive succubus necromancer who has taken over the Haunted Mansion. Her full name is Chrome Artiste, and she is aiming to restore her family's honor.

 

* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: After beating her, she promises to never practice necromancy again, instead limiting herself to puppetry (which doesn't require interfering with the dead). However, as a companion she's still capable of using skills relating to zombies or ghosts. In fact, due to her trait, most players who include her in the party will have her use these skills.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: She leaves a description of one of the secret passages in her mansion out in the open, for anyone to see. Fortunately, it's in code... unfortunately, said 'code' is just replacing the first letter of each word with 'z'.

* [[Horny Devils]]: She's technically a succubus, but focuses on her necromancy to such an extent that she's still an imp.

* [[Necromancer]]: Her profession, although she's not entirely competent. When she orders zombies to throw the party out of a particular room, the zombies throw ''her'' out of the room instead.

 

=== Sylph ===

The Great Spirit of wind, residing in the Forest of Spirits. She resembles a fairy, and shared their playful and carefree nature. Luka forms a contract with her during his journey.

 

* [[Elemental Embodiment]]

* [[Fragile Speedster]]

 

=== Eva ===

A vagrant succubus who has recently been terrorising the town of Monte Carlo. This led to the costumed hero Justice Kaiser stepping in to drive her away. Luka's party finds and defeats her, stopping her attacks. To prevent this happening again, Luka decides to bring Eva along.

 

Her unique trait, "Dextrous Poor Succubus", gives her an optional ability that allows her to always use Thievery, Mercantile, Oracle, Dancing, Sing, Talk, Cooking, Medicine and Service skills, at the expense of occasionally using an Oracle skill instead of following orders.

* [[Chef of Iron]]: Can always use Cooking skills, and enters the party with levels in the Cook job.

* [[Dance Battler]]: Can always use Dancing skills.

* [[Spoony Bard]]: Can potentially be the most versatile party member, in terms of diversity of skills, but this comes at the expense of reliability.

* [[The Medic]]: Can always use Medicine skills, and enters the party with levels in the Nurse job.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Sara ===

Formerly the princess of Sabasa, the mysterious disappearance of her father forced Sara to assume the throne. However, her rule caused a sharp decline in the nation's fortunes. Some of her citizens began to speculate that the person on the throne wasn't the princess at all, but an imposter. It turns out that she was the real Sara after all, but the Lilith Sisters had awakened the latent monster blood in her, partially transforming her into a succubus. Unable to control her newfound urges, she was unable to rule Sabasa properly. Luka's party learns of this, and with Sphinx's help, manage to restore her sanity (albeit by completing her succubus transformation).

 

 

=== Saki ===

A succubus idol singer, aiming to make it big. She takes over the Grandeur Theater by charming everyone with her songs and becomes its sole act. All other activity in Grandeur is disrupted as the people become obsessed with the new sensation. Luka's party puts an end to this, and she decides to travel with them on a world tour.

 

Her unique trait, "Everyone's Idol", lets her always use Dancing and Singing skills, causes these skills to inflict status effects 15% more often, and reduces the chances of Saki being targeted by enemies by 25%.

* [[Charm Person]]: Exaggerated. She manages to charm the entire population of Grandeur, to the point that random city guards will start using "sparkle" in everyday conversation. In gameplay terms, she can inflict both the Trance and Seduction status effects, and on top of that has a skill that inflicts the unique SPARKLE effect (a variant of Stun).

* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: Her left stocking is red while the right stocking is black; similarly, her left horn has a decoration while her right horn does not.

* [[Horny Devils]]

* [[Say It With Hearts]]: Many of her lines.

 

{{hardline}}

A wizard and a former member of Marcellus' party. Now, he's become the leader of the Mafia. {{spoiler|This is actually an act, to hide the fact that Lazarus is the true leader.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: The [[Merlin|inspiration]] should be obvious.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Lily ===

 

Her unique trait, "Mad Mage", increases the damage of Summoning, Magic Science and Tentacle skills by 15%.

* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: She claims to be able to hear the voices of people in need, crying out for help. While it seems to be hallucinations at first, if you recruit her and take her to {{spoiler|the ruins of Luddite Village, she is able to deduce what happened there from the voices, suggesting there's something more}}.

* [[Body Horror]]: Both her arms can transform into bundles of worms and tentacles.

* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The Super-Heating Radiation, Phase Transition and Vacuum Discharge skills, which she uses both as a boss and as a companion.

* [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: She cannot be recruited in the same playthrough as Lucia, as she will only join the party after you defeat Lucia. However, you can have them both in a New Game Plus.

 

=== Lucia ===

* [[Alchemy Is Magic]]

* [[Body Horror]]: To an even greater extent than Lily. Not only are both her arms worms, but her face is also partially transformed and she is connected to an enormous worm that can swallow a person whole.

* [[Eaten Alive]]: Her Boa Worm skill inflicts this. She also does this to Luka in her loss scene and two of her Request scenes

* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: She can create and use Red Fire Stones, Blue Ice Stones and Yellow Thunder Stones, and is also resistant to these three elements.

* [[Full-Circle Revolution]]: The main crux of her argument against Lily.

* [[Hired Guns]]: Her faction includes monster mercenaries.

* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: She cannot be recruited in the same playthrough as Lily, as she will only join the party after you defeat Lily. However, you can have them both in a New Game Plus.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: To an absurd extent. Her outfit consists of a cloth wrapped around her breasts (baring most of her cleavage) and a partial skirt that completely exposes her crotch. When she goes [[One-Winged Angel]], the former slips down to expose her nipples.

 

 

=== Gnome ===

The Great Spirit of Earth, resembling a dark-skinned girl with pointed ears. She lives in the Safaru Ruins with only her mud dolls for company. Luka forms a contract with her during his journey.

 

{{hardline}}

 

 

=='''Noah Region'''==

* [[Famous Ancestor]]: She's a descendant of the original Cow Demon Queen.

* [[Irony]]: To recruit her, you need a key item that demonstrates your friendship with the minotaur race. To get said item, you need to give 10 sukiyaki to a particular minotaur. The thing is, most players will obtain the sukiyaki by beating up numerous minotaurs for their drops (or stealing it from them).

 

{{hardline}}

Three plant mercenaries, hired by the plant race to fight against the insects.

* [[Man-Eating Plant]]: They are based on carnivorous plants, including venus flytraps, sundews and pitcher plants.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: If you choose the option of peace between the plants and insects, the sisters attack Tezcatlipoca only to get casually swatted aside.

 

 

Her unique trait, "Water Spirit", boosts water damage by 30%, lets her always use Slime and Nature skills and boosts their damage by 30%, and makes her immune to water damage and the Slimed status.

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: She and Salamander literally get along like water and fire.

{{hardline}}

 

=== Grangold King ===

The king of the Grangold kingdom. For unknown reasons, he has declared war on the other three kingdoms of the Sentora Continent, a war that he is winning. Moreover, he leads his army from the front, demonstrating power far beyond any human. {{spoiler|However, he is ultimately no more than a pawn of Tamamo no Mae and the Lilith Sisters.}}

* [[The Blank]]: {{spoiler|After fully transforming, his head lacks a face of any kind, raising questions about how he senses his environment, breathes, or eats.}}

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: In his first appearance, he takes a lance through the chest without flinching, then annihilates several knights with a barrage of magic.

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Thanks to his protohuman blood being awakened, he has incredible magical power and resistance to injury. When he draws on his full power to fight Lazarus and Merlin, he permanently transforms into a definite example of this trope. His head is yellow and lacks a face, while his arms are purple and the fingers of his hands are lengthened into tentacles.}}

* [[One-Man Army]]: He crushes any army he encounters with his devastating spells. In your party, [[Game Breaker|he's only slightly less powerful than he is in cutscenes]].

* [[Royalty Super Power]]: {{spoiler|All human royals have some trace of protohuman blood, and the Grangold royal family has it stronger than most. Once this blood is awakened by Lilith, he's a nigh-invulnerable magical powerhouse.}}

=== Poseidoness ===

The Queen of the Northern Sea.

* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: When talking to her, if you try to tell her about how Kraken was shrunken into a dried squid (that is capable of talking), she thinks she's being mocked and challenges the party to a fight.

* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: She has features of both molluscs (tentacles) and crustaceans (jointed legs, some with pincers).

* [[Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong]]: They lay their eggs inside human men, though it isn't the mouth they use but... the opposite end of the digestive tract.

* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Though they manage to escape after being defeated by Luka's party, they are completely unnerved by the current state of the world. They don't have any idea of how to handle peace between humans and monsters or all of the powerful monsters just running around. They force their way into the party because they're too afraid to be on their own.

 

{{hardline}}

=== Succubus ===

The chief of Succubus Village. She accepts a man fleeing from Luddite Village as a refugee, only for Natasha to arrive and demand to kill him. Succubus chose to protect the man, wanting him to be judged according to law, leading to the succubus civil war.

 

{{hardline}}

* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: Candy has stolen her power, transforming Emily into something resembling an octopus.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: She and Cassandra laugh at Alice (if she's a companion) for her current shrunken state, despite being in even worse condition themselves.

* [[Third Person Person]]: She refers to herself in this manner, presumably to appear "cute".

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Neris is mentioned to have defeated her and her entire village.

A powerful monster who is an incredible glutton. When Cassandra and Emily are weakened from being beaten by Neris, Candy attacks and steals their power in the form of candy. With her newfound power, many of Lady's Village's inhabitants flock to her banner.

* [[Big Eater]]: She can eat four different sweet in a row and feel hungry immediately afterwards.

* [[Through His Stomach]]: Recruiting her requires you to give her chocolate, cake, pudding and a parfait. Afterwards, she joins the party so that she can keep being fed.

 

Her unique trait, "Fire Spirit", boosts fire damage by 30%, lets her always use Unarmed, Breath and Nature skills, boosts the damage of Unarmed and Nature skills by 30%, gives her attacks Burn Strike, and makes her immune to fire damage and the Burn status.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: A literal one.

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: She and Undine literally get along like fire and water. When you first meet her, the two of them argue and eventually drag everyone else into their fight.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Eden ===

* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: She's constantly naked, for no apparent reason.

* [[Skippable Boss]]: She is only fought on the Alice route. On the Ilias route, she immediately joins the party instead.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Ilias.

{{hardline}}

 

Four monsters of incredible power who serve the Monster Lord.

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by these characters as a whole include:}}

=== Alma Elma ===

The Heavenly Knight of Wind, a playful and hedonistic succubus. She refuses to follow the strange orders of the returned Alice XV. She is first encountered in the Coliseum as the final opponent in the Queen's Cup.

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[The Ace]]: To the extent that it borders on parody. Not only is she a master of sex, wind magic and martial arts, she's skilled in many other fields as well, such as being an acclaimed author.

* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]: When imprisoned in {{spoiler|Grangold Castle}}, she complains about the guards not attempting to rape her.

* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Temporarily joins the party on two occasions: to fight Granberia when she intervenes in the Coliseum, and during the infiltration of Gold Port.

* [[The Hedonist]]: She lives for the pleasures of life.

* [[Magical Girl]]: {{spoiler|She interrupts the Magical Girl creation ritual, only for the power to flow into her instead. This leads to the hilarious sight of the proud dragonkin warrior in a fluffy pink dress.}}

* [[Master Swordsman]]

* [[The Worf Effect]]: She's first mentioned having fought Neris to a draw... after the latter had previously fought several other major battles in the same day, ''and'' when she was hiding her true power.

 

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: During the invasion of Grangold Castle, she first rescues {{spoiler|Lazarus and Merlin from the Grangold King}}, then {{spoiler|fights her alternate-universe counterpart. She's unable to defeat the latter due to the limited time she can fight at full power, and ends up on the receiving end of this trope from Nero and Neris.}}

* [[Mirror Match]]: {{spoiler|She fights her alternate-universe counterpart from the Monster World. While their power is roughly equal, this Tamamo is subject to the Six Ancestors' Great Seal and so can only use her full power for a limited time. As a result, she's on the verge of losing before Nero and Neris come to the rescue.}}

* [[Neutral No Longer]]: After talking with Alma Elma, she decides that she should take action once more, joining the invasion of Grangold Castle.

The Heavenly Knight of Water, a quiet slime who is an amalgamation of countless humans and monsters, all merged into one being. She first appears in Undine's Spring, after Luka's party defeat Undine, following Alice XV's orders to defeat them.

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[Many Spirits Inside of One]]: She has absorbed countless humans and monsters, and all of their lives continue to exist within her.

* [[Power Tattoo]]: She has purple tattoos on the right side of her body.

* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: After defeating her, it's suggested that she only lost due to being conflicted over her master's orders.

{{hardline}}

 

 

A trio of succubi of immense power, dating to the Great Monster Wars. Created by the ancestor of all succubi, Minagi, they have strength that surpasses almost all monsters in the present day. Despite being thought long-dead, they appear in the Paradox universe.

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by these characters as a whole include:}}

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: Many succubi have been named after them.

* [[Out with a Bang]]: Their preferred method of killing.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Lilith ===

The eldest of the Lilith sisters.

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

 

=== Astaroth ===

The middle sister of the trio.

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

 

=== Morrigan ===

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[Power Glows]]: It's described as a psychokinetic aura, which she uses to fight.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Inverted. She's the reckless one compared to her older sister Astaroth.

{{hardline}}

 

The six monsters who were first created by the Dark Goddess Alice I, and are the ancestors of all other monsters.

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by these characters as a whole include:}}

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Saja ===

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[Godiva Hair]]: A variation in which the hair is two snakes, each covering one breast.

* [[Gorgeous Gorgon]]: A literal example, having snakes for hair.

* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: She argues for chaos, as she believes that the order proposed by Raphaela and the angel side is no different from slavery.

 

{{hardline}}

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: She's the ''de facto'' queen of Grangold, leading it to war against the other three nations and turning its citizens into unthinking pawns.

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Her battle with the other Tamamo, Nero and Neris causes all of Grangold castle to collapse.

* [[Walking Spoiler]]: Her very existence spoils the reason for Grangold's actions and the fact that Tamamo is one of the Six Ancestors.

{{hardline}}

 

 

=== Zion ===

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: She hates succubi (and monsters in general), devoting so much attention to attacking Morrigan that she doesn't care if Luka's party gets caught up in the middle.

* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: She wears a boot on her left foot while her right is bare, and her left arm is cybernetic but not her right.

 

=== Gnosis ===

* [[Body Horror]]: Her entire abdomen is missing, exposing a jagged metallic spine.

* [[Game Face]]: When ready to fight, the upper part of her face is in shadow and she opens a mouth full of sharp teeth.

 

=== Eden ===

 

{{hardline}}

 

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by these characters as a whole include:}}

 

 

=== Raphaela ===

{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}

* [[The Evils of Free Will]]: Believes that humans do not need free will if it means they risk making bad decisions, and only need to follow Ilias' orders.

* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: She argues for the order side, as she believes that it brings happiness and prosperity to all.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her dress is slit to the hips and it exposes not just her cleavage but also her areolae.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Black Alice ===

The eighth Monster Lord, a notorious tyrant who was eventually killed by the legendary hero Heinrich. Now, she appears to have somehow resurfaced, and is one of the contenders for the Monster Lord position.

* [[Alice Allusion]]: She looks the part, and {{spoiler|used a drug called White Rabbit}}.

* [[Creepy Child]]: Gives off an extremely strong impression of this, though she isn't really a child.

* [[Monster Lord]]

 

 

=== Kagetsumugi ===

A strange monster who lives within the Puppeteer's Tower. A legendary puppeteer, her skills in this field are believed to overshadow those of the Artiste family. The party can visit her while searching for Magical Thread for Chrome. {{spoiler|She is actually working with Black Alice, and has procured a powerful army for her}}.

* [[Badass Army]]: She has recruited powerful monsters {{spoiler|and turned the corpses of former Monster Lords into puppets, all to serve her master}}.

 

{{hardline}}

* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: She has extremely well-defined abs, like other characters by the same artist.

* [[Loose Lips]]: She lets slip her affiliation and intentions when the party first meets her.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Sun Wukong, known as Son Goku in Japan, is a major character in ''[[Journey to the West]]''.

* [[Simple Staff]]: Her weapon, fitting for her character.

 

=== Nero ===

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Highly questionable fashion sense, a ridiculously oversized weapon, and a massive [[Large Ham|ham]] in battle... but he's one of the most powerful characters in the series.

* [[Casting a Shadow]]

* [[Cool Shades]]: It's questionable whether they're even needed, or if he just wears them for the appearance.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Supposedly manages to decapitate the White Rabbit, though it doesn't leave any lasting damage.

* [[Large Ham]]: In battle, he tends to make rather grandiose declarations.

* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: The only way to describe his outfit. Apparently, he made it himself.

* [[Nice Guy]]: Apparently in the blood. Exaggerated, to the point that he goes out of his way to clean up the messes in the abandoned Harpy Village, even tuning a piano.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: An enormous one.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Neris ===

* [[The Dreaded]]: After her rampage across the world, she's feared by monsters everywhere for her incredible power.

* [[Horny Devils]]: Subverted. She looks like a succubus without the horns or tail, but her true form is actually lamia-shaped {{spoiler|like her mother}}.

* [[One Man Army]]: A definite example. In one day, she conquers Plansect Village, defeats Cassandra and her allies, defeats and exiles the Arachne faction, and fights Granberia to a draw. All while apparently holding back her true power. She's seen as this in-universe too, being considered one of the three contenders for the title of Monster Lord despite (seemingly) being on her own.

* [[Playing With Fire]]: The only attack she uses onscreen is Vaporising Rebellion Sword.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]

* [[Stripperiffic]]: To say the least.

 

{{hardline}}

 

=== Marcellus ===

Luka's father, a hero who set off after the Great Disaster occurred, helping those in need. Before the events of the game, he disappeared, and Luka makes it his objective to find him. {{spoiler|It turns out that he has gained many cybernetic modifications, and is now on a quest to save the very multiverse}}.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Saves Luka in the nick of time from Adramelech}}.

* [[The Ghost]]: Off-screen for most of Part 1, only interacting with the party via letters he left in various places.

* [[Space Master]]: {{spoiler|Like Luka, he can travel between alternate universes}}.

 

 

=== White Rabbit ===

A mysterious woman who appears throughout the game and appears to lead the party around. It isn't clear whether she is a monster, a human in a costume, or something else entirely.

* [[Alice Allusion]]: Lampshaded. Not only is her name an allusion, but she can literally lead around a person named Alice.

* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: She creates a pile of dirt at the entrance to the third Tartarus, which automatically moves to block anyone trying to get in. Only Gnome can undo the barrier.

* [[Physical God]]: She can stop time, is apparently capable of surviving decapitation, and is implied to be an equal to Reaper.

* [[Reality Warper]]: Among other feats, she can transfer people between universes, which she uses at one point to force the party into a boss battle.

* [[Stealth Mentor]]: Possibly. She does give advice to the party on several occasions.

 

=== Reaper ===

A mysterious woman found in Hades, who appears to be the personification of death itself. Reaper provides a number of services: returning a dead Luka to the world of the living; allowing you to change the difficulty; removing the male characters (except Luka) from the party; and once you've cleared the first chapter, the option to start New Game Plus.

* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]

* [[Back From the Dead]]: Probably the service that players use the most.

* [[Foil]]: To the White Rabbit. Both are incredibly powerful beings with mysterious goals, who seem to know about the threats facing the world. Both have the same ability to control space and time. Their color schemes are inverted, with Reaper having red hair and black clothing while the White Rabbit has blue hair and white clothing. Reaper also seems to prefer a passive role, while the White Rabbit actively guides the party around.

* [[One Hit KO]]: As befitting her character, she has many attacks that inflict this.

 

=== Adramelech ===

A high-ranking Apoptosis encountered in the dying world beyond the third Tartarus. {{spoiler|She was involved in the destruction of that world, and assaults the party in the Administrator's Tower}}.

* [[Body Horror]]: To the point that it almost defies description. Tentacles, asymmetrical wings, a gaping mouth lined with sharp teeth, flesh that seems to include metallic and crystalline components... And even with all of that, she has a roughly human-shaped body.

* [[Clock Roaches]]: Like other Apoptosis, her role is to prevent the spread of Chaos, no matter the cost.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]

** La Croix {{spoiler|sacrifices herself and her remaining soldiers in a last stand against Adramelech, only for the latter to break through (albeit heavily weakened)}}.

** {{spoiler|Luka's party manages to defeat her, but she returns almost immediately and attempts to drag Luka down into the void. Only Marcellus' intervention stops her}}.

* [[Physical God]]: Given that a mere 10% of her normal power is enough to act as the final boss, and {{spoiler|she can erase Ilias of all people from existence}}, she probably qualifies for this.

* [[Taking You with Me]]: Attempts this on {{spoiler|Luka, but Marcellus saves him by killing her}}.

* [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]]: Sort of. {{spoiler|If you lose to her and go to the Evaluation, Ilias will begin as normal, only for Adramelech to arrive and delete Ilias from existence}}.

{{hardline}}

 

A mysterious figure that appears in the Forest of Spirits, resembling a knight in a grotesque, twisted suit of armor. Despite its appearance, it doesn't seem to be hostile, {{spoiler|but the moment Luka's party arrives, it attacks them. It is heavily implied that this is the legendary hero Heinrich Hein, whose body was mentioned in the original game to have been consumed by holy energy from the angels he'd killed. However, it's not certain if it's the Heinrich of the Paradox universe, or an alternate one (though the former seems unlikely, given that he apparently wields his own copy of Angel Halo}}.

* [[Animated Armor]]: In appearance, at least.

* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Angels, whom it attacks on sight. Given his implied identity, it makes some sense}}.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: On both the giving and receiving ends. It {{spoiler|effortlessly crushes the party, only for Nero to intervene and take it down easily}}.

* [[Expy]]: To Berserker from [[Fate/Zero]]. Note only do they look similar, but they both tend to pursue their [[Berserk Button]] with single-minded fury. {{spoiler|They're also both former heroes who've been corrupted}}. Though unlike his counterpart, the Armored Berserker doesn't attack anyone else.

* [[Playing With Fire]]: Has access to the fire-elemental Heroism skill, Red Lotus Flame Dance.
