Rune Soldier Louie: Difference between revisions

[[File:louie.jpg|frame]]

 

 

When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. And when the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, well, let's just say she's less than happy.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Very much played straight... at first but was rather subverted later on in the series when {{spoiler|Louie actually fought back when Genie was about to use him as a punching bag again, Melissa and Meryl were worried about this but the scene was generally depicted as a good thing as this is when Genie got softer around Louie a little later on afterwards.}}

* [[The Fool]]/[[The Messiah]]: Louie

* [[Form Fitting Clothing]]: Impossibly so and usually only the lead female characters but it's all for fanservice, sweet sweet fanservice. Yeah.

* [[Gender Bender]]: In one episode, and made all the more [[Nausea Fuel|disturbing]] by the fact that Louie is most decidedly ''not'' an [[Attractive Bent Gender]], looking pretty much like normal except for a pair of large breasts. It would appear Genie is the only one in the show capable of pulling off the strong lady look well.

* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: In episode nineteen of the English dub when Merrill buys a house she says "Mi casa es su casa" (My house is your house) to Louie, Genie, and Melissa.

* [[Identical Stranger]]: Odessa for Merrill.

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Louie is capable of swinging a ''wild boar'' around, seemingly effortlessly.

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Parodied by Conrad, played straight by Leonard.

* [[Left Hanging]]: Although there are sufficient clues for the observant viewer to deduce [[Rune Soldier Louie/WMG|who Louie's parents probably are and why he was fostered]] with the head of the mage guild, no one in the cast has access to them all -- or any interest in the question, for that matter -- so there is no chance to find out for sure.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Genie doesn't even bother with a [[Breast Plate]], apparently being so [[Badass]] that she doesn't need armor, or even much clothing.

** And one of Merrill's day jobs is an exotic dancer, which Melissa found out to her horror when she tried doing Merrill's jobs when she was sick, and had to put the dancer outfit on.

* [[The Sneaky Guy]]: Merrill is the lithe thief of the group.

* [[Too Long; Didn't Dub|Too Long, Didn't Dub]]: Averted - a long wordplay exchange is masterfully adapted.
