[[File:Character Image.jpg|framed|right|Caption]]
A strange monster who first appears to defeat Nanabi for the party. It's strongly implied that she is the daughter of Luka and Alice from another universe, though which one isn't clear. Her current purpose is unknown, but she and her brother seem to be helping out Luka's party.

She's seen as this in-universe too, being considered one of the three contenders for the title of Monster Lord despite being (seen as) on her own.

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

Revision as of 11:15, 26 March 2017



Character Name

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Luka

Caption

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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Badass Family
  • Blow You Away: When using Sylph's power.
  • Celibate Hero: Can be played as such, if the player never has him make requests of any party member.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: Can't resist helping people in need.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: When using Gnome's power.
  • Healing Factor: His Mediation power, though unlike the original game, there's many other sources of healing.
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: Though unlike the original game, he can use other weapons.
  • Heroic Lineage
  • The Leader
  • Nephilim: Thanks to his mother. In gameplay terms, he can switch between the human and angel races.
  • Playing With Fire: Many of his later Heroism skills use the fire element.
  • Really Gets Around: Can potentially engage in some manner of sex with almost every single female party member, barring (currently) the Medal Queen and the battle-fuckers. Though some of the monsters are guaranteed to kill him.
  • Semi-Divine: On his mother's side, he's just two steps removed from the Goddess Ilias herself.
  • Space Master: For some reason, he can use the doors in the Tartarus that lead between universes.
  • 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.
  • The Face: He's generally the one who talks to enemy monsters the most.

Alice

Caption

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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Ilias

Caption

The Goddess who ostensibly created the entire world, also inexplicably changed into a younger, weaker form. Interestingly, she seems unfamiliar with the world, and is confused by half the news she hears. She has lost contact with her angels, and is now looking for answers. 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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Fantastic Racism: Still hates all monsters, and if she's in the party, will regularly advise Luka to choose the option that is least beneficial/most harmful to monsters. Amusingly enough, if she isn't recruited, then she has no choice but to swallow her pride and recruit monsters to form her own party.
  • 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.
  • The Hunter: Starts off in the Hunter job.
  • 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.
  • Shock and Awe: Some of her Holy skills use the lightning element.
  • White Magician Girl: She can always use White Magic.

Sonya

Caption

Luka's childhood friend, a priestess at Ilias Temple with a fondness for clubs. She is unique to Paradox, as in the original game her mother Karen died before she could have any children. Sonya was raised by Lazarus after her parents died, although later on she would be the one taking care of him. Her unique trait, "Club Girl", allows her to always equip Clubs and use Club skills and White Magic, increases her damage with a club and the effectiveness of her White Magic.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Childhood Friend
  • 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.
  • The Paladin: Albeit one that uses a club.
  • Sir Swears A Lot: She tends to swear more often than other characters.
  • Temporal Paradox: Possibly, though it's still unclear.
  • White Magician Girl: She can always use white magic, but she certainly doesn't fit the other requirements of the trope.

Nuruko

Caption

A strange monster found in the first Tartarus. She looks somewhat like a scylla, with even her hair being tentacles. She doesn't speak any words, just the sound effect 'kyu'.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Combat Tentacles: Used for most of her attacks, and they're highlighted in her attack cut-in.
  • Eldrich Abomination: Possibly, given her nature as an Apoptosis.
  • Gag Boobs: A hallmark of her artist, they take up most of her torso.
  • Scylla and Charybdis: She looks like a scylla, and has it as a race, but it's still unclear exactly what she is. She has the Apoptosis race as well.
  • The Unintelligible: She only says 'kyu'. The only person who can understand her, interestingly, is Sonya. This leads to an amusing scene when she makes friends with Gnome, another example of this trope, as they need interpreters to converse with each other.

Brynhildr

Caption

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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Nero

Caption

A bizarrely-dressed stranger who the party encounters several times. It's strongly implied that he is the son of Luka and Alice from another universe, though which one isn't clear. His current purpose is unknown, but he and his sister seem to be helping out Luka's party.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Neris

Caption

A strange monster who first appears to defeat Nanabi for the party. It's strongly implied that she is the daughter of Luka and Alice from another universe, though which one isn't clear. Her current purpose is unknown, but she and her brother seem to be helping out Luka's party.
