  • Arranged Marriage: To Olivia. Called off when Venus dies.
  • Dark Is Not Evil
  • Dogged Nice Guy: At first Julius seems to be a less sympathetic Prince Charming Wannabe, until it's clear that he never had any more of a choice in the matter than Olivia.
  • Easily Forgiven: Julius isn't really one of the good guys or one of the bad guys. He seems rather ambivalent to Venus's control of his life, mostly excited about getting to marry someone like Olivia. When Venus is finally defeated and Julius is no longer betrothed to Olivia, Julius apologizes for his arrogance and remains friends with Olivia and Antony. Olivia points out that Julius didn't actually do anything bad -- he didn't actually have a choice in the overall situation, so she saw no fault that needed to be forgiven.
  • Estrogen Brigade Bait: Julius is said to be popular with the girls, though he himself doesn't seem to be fully aware of this.
  • Evil Is Sexy: Okay so he's not evil, but this is the trope that allows Imp/Devil monsters to remain inside the city.
  • Hopeless Suitor: Julius actually genuinely likes Olivia, but has no real chance of winning her heart from Antony.
  • Horned Humanoid: A demon who's beautiful enough to live in Venus's megalopolis.

  • Deal with the Devil: Earlier in the game, if your party is annihilated in battle, you will be transported to Valhalla, and Odin will offer you a Bargain with Heaven to be resurrected from the beginning of the battle, if you agree to fight Odin someday. But when you finally reach Valhalla through the Sky Pillar, you'll have to fight him anyway, regardless of whether you made the deal. It turns out he was just another Deity of Human Origin searching for more Relics to make himself powerful.
  • Deity of Human Origin
