Monster Girl Quest/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

The characters in Monster Girl Quest. Beware, unmarked spoilers below.

 

== Main Characters ==

** [[Badass Family]]: His father is a [[Badass Normal]] who's accomplished several impressive feats with little magical assistance. {{spoiler|His mother's a fallen angel.}}

** [[Badass Normal]]: A normal kid who, through [[Charles Atlas Superpower|rigorous training]], manages to take on superhumanly powerful monsters and live to tell the tale. {{spoiler|He's really a [[Badass Abnormal]].}}

** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]

** [[Determinator]]

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]

* [[Contractual Genre Blindness]]: The main reason why he didn't realize Alice was the [[Monster Lord]] despite overwhelming evidence before [[The Reveal]].

* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: {{spoiler|Sleeping mode. Luka in his sleeping state is supremely powerful, but repeated usage will eventually consume him and turn him into a being of pure holy power. Considering Luka might just be the most powerful being on the planet, this would be [[Person of Mass Destruction|disastrous]].}}

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: {{spoiler|The deeply conservative and xenophobic elders of Ilias Village didn't take kindly to Luka and his mother, to the extent that they refused to give him the medicine needed to treat her when she fell ill.}}

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Although his [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]] keep moving. {{spoiler|While he plays this trope straight in lighthearted sidequests (like ''The Four Bandits''), he subverts it by being aware of upcoming complications in others (such as ''Harpy Village''). Darker sidequests (mostly ''Lily'' and ''Plansect Forest'') leave him thoroughly depressed.}}

* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]]: His regular attacks are darkness-themed (since he learned them from Alice), while his moveset as {{spoiler|Lukafer}} is light-based. {{spoiler|His finishing Quadruple Giga against Ilias will also count as he fuses Alice's dark power and his holy power into the attack to further amplify its devastating power.}}

 

===Alice===

 

* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Uses a human disguise in human settlements, unless she's alone with Luka.

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: Monster Lords are determined through tournaments. The winner becomes the Monster Lord, while the strongest remaining contestants become the Heavenly Knights. The powerful Alipheese line has won every tournament so far.

* [[The Atoner]]: {{spoiler|For accidentally making peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters impossible in the aftermath of her mother's death; she is training Luka so that history may repeat itself and Luka may kill her in combat, putting an end to monster tyranny.}}

* [[Expy]]: Her appearance seem to based on description of the Demon Lord from Kenkou Cross's [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]]. But since the Demon Lord doesn't have artwork yet, it's unknown if she really resembles Alice. Later materials, such as the entry for the lilim, clears this up, referencing that they inherit physical characteristics from Lilith such as white hair and red eyes. While Alice ''does'' have white hair in both of her forms, she has [[Eyes of Gold]] instead of red. She also has traits of the Echidna race from the same work, both being lamias with the genes of all monster races.

** She also has quite a lot in common with [[Spice and Wolf|Horo]], especially her snarky, superior personality and endless obsession with good food.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]: She also has a general eye motif.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: She was raised by Tamamo and had to suffer a lot of teasing from the kitsunes, so she now often bullies them in return.

* [[Gorgeous Gorgon]]

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Both fights against Alice in part 1 are optional battles that the player has no chance of winning.

* [[Jerkass Facade]]

* [[Monster Lord]]: The actual Monster Lord. It's pretty obvious from the very beginning.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Her idea of redemption at least. She forces Luka to fight her, leading to either Alice sealing herself away from the rest of the world with Luka or Luka killing Alice. Luka [[Take a Third Option|takes a third option and spares her.]]}}

* [[Snakes Are Sexy]]

* [[Stepford Snarker]]

* [[Taking You with Me]]: {{spoiler|[[Inverted Trope|Inverted]]; if Luka loses his final battle against Alice at the end of part 2 (which she was [[Self-Sacrifice Scheme|planning to lose to bring about world peace]]) she seals the room with an unbreakable barrier, trapping herself and Luka in there for eternity. Her intention is that the world will think it was ''Luka'' who [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrificed himself to seal her away forever]]. On the bright side, at least this means [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|her and Luka get to spend the rest of eternity making love]].}}

* [[Technical Virgin]]: {{spoiler|While she requires semen to survive, that semen was given to her by her parents, as she was kept away from humans. Luka ends up taking her virginity in chapter 2.}}

* [[Too Many Mouths]]: At least three, one in the "normal" place, one on her tail, and [[Belly Mouth| one on her stomach]].

* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Hora, hora, hora!" <ref>A cutesy way of saying "Look, look, look!" in Japanese.</ref> Only while having sex with Luka though. She shares the tic with her Four Knights, although they have their own versions (Tamamo says "hore!" and Granberia says "sore!").

* [[Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: A single finger poke during the tutorial fight brings Luka down to 1 HP. Asking her to repeat the demonstration results in death.

* [[Egopolis]]: The Ilias Continent has the locations Ilias Village, Illiasport, Iliasburg and Ilias Forest. The Sentora Continent also has the city of San Ilia.

* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|Gender aside, she's overly lawful, partially strong armed the in universe equivalent of Lucifer into killing all the humans she considered ungrateful or merely not as loyal as she liked, demands the extermination of all things she deems evil simply because she says they are, doesn't believe in any sort of compromise of her ideals whatsoever... [[Shin Megami Tensei|she sound a little bit like YHVH to anyone else yet?]]}}

* [[Final Boss]]: {{spoiler|A surprise one, as you're led to believe that Black Alice (who's swallowed Ilias whole) is the final boss. However, Ilias gains control of Black Alice's remains once she's killed, and uses them to empower herself.}}

* [[God Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|Although this wasn't always the case. She spent an incredibly long time alone, unable to interact with the only other person around (Alice 1, due to the then-incompatibility of holy and dark energy). That would be hard on anyone's psyche.}}

* [[Have a Nice Death]]: Narrates most of the post-battle advice sections. {{spoiler|If you've died while fighting her first form, she simply gloats over her victory.}}

* [[Kill'Em All]]: {{spoiler|Teams up with the 8th Monster Lord to wipe the slate clean and start the world over, as she feels that humanity is too ungrateful for what she has done for them, culminating in her [[Chosen One]] essentially telling her to go fuck herself. Given that "what she has done for them" apparently includes slaughtering them by the thousands, thus throwing humans into war with monsters, humanity may have good reason to be ungrateful.}}

* [[Kryptonite Factor]]: Being baptized by Ilias carries the chief benefit of making a person totally unappealing to monsters.

One of Ilias' loyal angels, and the leader of the entire angel army. Was formerly third best among the seraphs before her predecessors, Micaela and Lucifina, became fallen angels. As such, she has a sore spot when referred to as "The Third".

 

* [[Meaningful Name]]: She's named for the Biblical garden, and can transform her body into one.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: For her boss battle, she transforms into a garden sitting on top of a mountain of red serpents.

* [[Punny Name]]: The universe's version of [[Archangel Lucifer]].

* [[Posthumous Character]]: She died while Luka was still a young child, and her death greatly shaped his personality.

 

===Promestein===

* [[The Dragon]]: Figuratively and literally.

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Just ask Sara.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: When she tells Luka, she mastered the Serene Mind technique 20 years ago, he thinks it's a case of her being [[Really 700 Years Old]]. She reveals she was 5 at that point.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: You fight her more times than any other enemy.

** [[Puzzle Boss]]: And each time, even in the Monster Lord's Castle, you have to progress the fight by demonstrating to her various recently-acquired skills.

* [[Tsundere]]: Her character traits seem to be largely based on the Dragon race from the Monster Girl Encyclopedia. As such, she starts to fall for Luka as he grows stronger in the sequel.

* [[Technical Virgin]]: While Alma-Elma claims to have taken Granberia's virginity with her finger, there's no evidence whatsoever that Granberia ever did anything more sexual than being fingered by the succubus queen. In her later game over scene, where she has sex with Luka even mentions that it's her first time doing it.

* [[Blow You Away]]: [[Double Entendre|In both senses;]] she's certainly flexible in that regard.

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: On top of being a master of wind magic and pleasure techniques, {{spoiler|she's a skilled martial artist}}. However, she always plays around and rarely bothers to fulfill her duties.

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Bordering on being [[The Vamp]].

* [[Friendly Enemy]]: In chapter 2.

* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Losing in her first fight will result in her swallowing Luka with her tail.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: During her final confrontation with Luka, he calls her out and tells her to stop playing around and fight seriously. She proceeds to take off her clothes and demonstrate just why she's the queen of all succubi. She takes this further in her final fight with Hainuwele, {{spoiler|using her martial arts to instantly turn the fight around.}}

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: In the first chapter her name was translated as "Arumaeruma". For the second chapter and onwards, the same translator decided to change it to "Alma Elma".

* [[Stealth Mentor]]: In the second chapter, she pretty much forces Luka to use more power from Sylph in both fights.

* [[Blob Monster]]: In a strict sense, yes.

* [[Hikikomori]]: Described as a shut-in in her encyclopedia entry, most likely due to the polluted water everywhere except her spring.

* [[Making a Splash]]: As the water spirit. Contrasts Erubetie, the water-attribute Heavenly Knight.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Is that even hair?

 

* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Immediately discerns Luka's fighting style simply by looking at his shoes.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: {{spoiler|He was part of Luka's father's expedition to kill the Monster Lord. The Monster Lord surrendered herself to Luka's father and Lazarus, sacrificing herself to ensure peace between monsters and humans. Alice, however, upon witnessing her mother's death, ends up killing multiple people, convincing the human expedition that coexistence is impossible. Luka's father eventually met his end at Lazarus's hands after he found out that he was secretly sabotaging them, his faith shaken from the atrocities they have committed.}}

* [[Knight Templar]]

 

===The Canaan Sisters===

A trio of carnivorous alraunes who hire themselves out as mercenaries to the plant side during the Plansect Village conflict.

 

* [[Evil Tastes Good]]

 

 

A legendary monster that lives in the mountains near Yamatai. The Orochi used to be sealed but has since awoken and begun demanding sacrifices in exchange for leaving the village alone.

 

 

 

 

* [[Blob Monster]]: An unconventional one, being made out of digestive organs.

 

===Alice the Eighth===

The eighth Monster Lord, known as "Black Alice" due to being a cruel and sadistic monster who despises humans. She was defeated by the great human hero Heinrich 500 years prior to Luka's adventure. {{spoiler|Somehow still alive.}}

 

* [[Dating Catwoman]]: ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]'' suggests that {{spoiler|she had a romantic relationship with Heinrich, her supposed slayer.}}

* [[Sequential Boss]]: {{spoiler|Her final fight goes through 3 different forms, with no save points in between in the translation. Each form also has a wide variety of [[One Hit Kill]] attacks.}}

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: {{spoiler|Becomes this once she obtain full control of her chaos powers; one angel wing and one demon wing.}}

 

 

Fearsome monsters that appear to be made from parts taken from many different creatures. They are mysterious beings and even Alice has no idea where they come from. Eventually revealed to be the creations of Promestein, who developed them as weapons to use {{spoiler|in Ilias's plan to wipe the slate clean.}}

Chimeras in general:

 

* [[Body Horror]]: The most basic Chimera has mismatched horns and eyes, multiple tongues, mismatched front and back legs, and a single wing. Other chimeras, especially the failed experiments, take this even further.

* [[Implacable Man]]

 

 

An ancient Chimera created a thousand years ago during the Monster Wars. Although she has lost some of her power since then, she is still a fearsome opponent. The Four Knights reactivate her to fight against Luka, but cannot control her, causing her to go on a rampage.

 

* [[Combat Tentacles]]

* [[Emotionless Girl]]

 

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Granberia, she possesses incredible strength to match and overpower Granberia's own.

 

 

===Hainuwele===

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Alma Elma, she has incredible speed and agility to outmaneuver even the Queen Succubus' attacks, and her emotional responses dialed down to nothing to render her immune to pleasure-inducing attacks.

 

 

===Tsukuyomi===

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Tamamo.

 

 

===Amphisbaena===

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Erubeite, she has the ability to rapidly vibrate and damage slime cells, turning them into liquid that is uncontrollable by Erubetie.

 

* [[Making A Splash]]: Subverted, she's the only Next Doll who doesn't use the same element as her target.

* [[Vibroweapon]]: Her specialty, allowing her to injure slimes.

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Rather than being made to counter anyone, she is designed to breed the next generation of Next Dolls.

 

 

 

===Marcellus===

Luka's father, who died when Luka was a child. He's also the founder of the terrorist group Ilias Kreutz along with Lazarus, and was eventually killed by a monster. {{spoiler|Or so Luka thought. In actuality after getting [[My God, What Have I Done?|cold feet]] and warning monsters about their attacks ahead of time he is killed by Lazarus.}}

 

 

A legendary Hero from 500 years ago. Heinrich successfully defeated the eighth Monster Lord, a feat which no Hero has managed to repeat. As such, he is Luka's idol.

 

 

A reverse lamia with human legs and a snake's torso. Amira often appears in towns and cities to offer helpful advice on where to go next... when she isn't hanging lampshades on something, or breaking the fourth wall, or telling [[Blatant Lies]] about herself.

 

 

The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|King of Sabasa]] and father of Sara. A grizzled old man who looks more like a warrior than a ruler. {{spoiler|Turns out to be a distant descendant of the Sphinx.}}

 

* [[Covered in Scars]]

 

===Sara===

 

* [[Badass Princess]]: Though she doesn't seem like anything special when compared to Luka, she's easily more capable than any other human we've seen.

 

 

A mysterious woman Luka meets in Goldport. She later turns out to be the granddaughter of the legendary Pirate Queen Selene. {{spoiler|She turns out to actually be the ghost of Selene herself, who was too filled with regret from opening the Box of Calamity to move on to the next life.}}

 

 

The very first monsters created by Alice 1, by infusing her dark energy into animals. They in turn gave rise to all the monsters today. Little is revealed about them in the game, but they are major characters in ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]''

 

The Ancestors in general:

 

===Minagi===

The ancestor of succubi, who became known as the Great Whore of Babylon for her debauchery. She was the monster most hated by Ilias. She is the main villain of the anime.

 

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: She has three pairs, each pair a different color.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Despite supposedly being the ultimate succubus, Luka manages to fight back and defeat her after she's made him orgasm. This should be ''impossible'' according to both lore and gameplay.

 

See {{spoiler|Tamamo under the Heavenly Knights section.}}
