=== Scott Pilgrim ===
[[File:sp_scott_9223.png|frame|'''Scott Pilgrim'''<br />Sketchy-ass 24-year-old<br />Rating: Awesome]]
 
Hero of the story. Scott is an air-headed unemployed slacker (additionally, the bassist of a band called Sex Bob-Omb). He's kind of a dick sometimes, but is mostly a decent guy. Most of the other characters either tolerate him as a person or are actively trying to kill him. He falls in love with Ramona Flowers, but in order to win her heart he has to defeat her seven evil exes.
-----
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: For the first part of volume 6. Luckily, he [[Took a Level Inin Badass]].
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: {{spoiler|Whatever his current faults, Scott's at least less capable of genuine cruelty than he was before his memories were altered}}.
Line 26:
* [[Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow]]: His hair was much longer in university, until he got an [[Important Haircut]] right before breaking up with Envy.
* {{spoiler|[[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: Happens in Volume 6 to Scott while he's inside Ramona's mind.}}
* [[Heel Realization]]: The main theme of the comic, arguably, is Scott's realizing that he really is an Evil Ex-Boyfriend in the making.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Scott dated two -- Kim and Envy.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Although though not stupid, Scott can be very uncaring about the feelings of others, and definitely not the most practical or responsible person. He also [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]] at times.
Line 48:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Scott''': Gideon...I think I understand you, man....And now I have to kill you.}}}}
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: His parkas.
* {{spoiler|[[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Chapter 5 reveals just how messed up he really is.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up]]: [[Adult Child|For a given value of "grown up", anyway]].}}
* [[Shonen Hair]]: [[Art Evolution|Scott's hair gets spikier and more unkempt with each installment.]]
* [[The Slacker]]
* [[Tetris Effect]]: {{spoiler|Gideon's plot had a phase of messing around Scott's memories and the result in the high school memories would almost be a good example of this, but with his usual video games instead of Tetris.}}
* [[Tenchi Solution]]: {{spoiler|in the game ending, Scott has a harem of Envy, Knives and Kim. [[Sequel Hook|But does it make him happy?]]}}
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:
{{quote|'''Scott''': Are you okay now?
'''Envy''': Am I...? You just headbutted my best friend so hard he ''burst,'' Scott. }}
Line 64:
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: "What? Is that like a moral high ground or something?"
 
=== Ramona Flowers ===
[[File:Scott-Pilgrim-Cover-scott-pilgrim-7225034-336-500_5982.jpg|frame|'''Ramona Flowers'''<br />Age: 25 years old<br />[[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|American Delivery]] ["[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|"Ninja"]] ]]
 
The heroine of the story. An American who recently moved to Canada. A series of chance encounters leads to Scott asking her out on a date. She has a mysterious past which is slowly uncovered over the course of the series. She dated and dumped {{spoiler|six}} guys {{spoiler|(and one girl)}} and not only did they all turn evil, but they formed a league together and now control her love life by fighting and killing off any potential suitor she starts dating.
-----
* [[Action Girlfriend]]
Line 102:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: And red, and green, and purple...
 
=== Kimberly "Kim" Pine ===
[[File:sp_kim_7097.png|frame|'''Kim Pine'''<br />Age: 24 years old<br />[[Little Miss Snarker|Will eat your soul]]]]
 
Drummer of the band Sex Bob-Omb. An ex-girlfriend of Scott's, and his close friend since their high school days. She is usually the lone voice of reason in all the madness going around her. Since said voice of reason usually gets ignored, it doesn't matter all that much.
 
Years before Scott Pilgrim was created, Bryan Lee O'Malley used the name "Kim Pine" for a very different (or at least much less defined) character in his short-lived comic strip "Style".
-----
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: In the game.
* [[Badass]]: In the game. Admit it, someone who can obliterate goons with just [[Armor-Piercing Slap|Armor Piercing Slaps]] and can beat [[Big Bad|Gideon Graves]] with her ass, is pretty badass.
* {{spoiler|[[Bi the Way]]: Made out with Knives while drunk, and also showed interest in Ramona.}}
** [[Relationship Upgrade|Upgraded]] when she calls Knives to assist in the game.
Line 128:
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[The Reliable One]]: While ''everyone'' is reliable compared to Scott, she's the most consistent example. Scott even says as much at one point, saying that she's the one who's always there for him. The twins also lampshaded this, and kidnap her because of the fact.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: In the game. Give Kim Pine a weapon. Look at how her facial expression (normally bored) changes when she uses it. She has this same expression when stomping a fallen enemy.
* [[Spit Take]]/[[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: In the game, one of her moves involves spitting out something that resembles heavily condensed pure negativity.
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]
Line 136:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Her and Scott.
 
=== Stephen Stills ===
[[File:Steven_Stills_6469.png|frame|'''Stephen Stills'''<br />Age: 24 years old<br />[[The Gift|The Talent]]]]
 
Lead vocalist/guitarist and "the talent" of Sex Bob-Omb, and another close friend of Scott's going back to their college days. He works as a cook at a stir-fry restaurant and is Julie Powers' on-again-off-again-{{spoiler|off forever because he's actually gay}} boyfriend.
-----
* [[Alliterative Name]]
Line 152:
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Stephen is fairly laid-back for the most part, but this is punctuated by his various anxiety attacks throughout the series.
* [[Shoryuken]]: In the game
* {{spoiler|[[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]}}
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: In the second volume, he is revealed to be 22 whereas Scott is 23. In the fourth volume, his 24th birthday happens before Scott's 24th birthday happens... {{spoiler|But then again, the story is told in [[Unreliable Narrator|Scott's point of view.]]}}
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: {{spoiler|His relationship with (or at least interest ''in'') Joseph seems to have started during Volume 4, at a time when he and Julie were still "on."}}
 
=== Wallace Wells ===
[[File:wallace_wlls_3635.jpg|frame|'''Wallace Wells'''<br />Age: 26 years old<br />[[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|Pretty Darn Gay]]]]
 
Scott's cool gay roommate. Very snarky and blunt, but usually has Scott's best interests at heart. He serves as [[Mission Control]] (or something close to it) for Scott's fight against the League of Evil Exes. Bryan Lee O'Malley claims that Wallace is based on a former real-life roommate of his.
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
* [[Fetish]]: Wallace has a ''big'' fetish for guys wearing [[Megane|glasses]].
* [[Non-Action Snarker]]
* [[Promotion to Love Interest]]: [[Satellite Character|Other Scott]] went from Wallace's friend-who-is-also-gay to his boyfriend in the movie.
* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]: And pretty darn gay too.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
 
<br clear="all" />
=== Knives Chau ===
[[File:524px-Knives_1237.png|frame|'''Knives Chau'''<br />Age: 18 years old<br />[[Stalker with a Crush|Self-proclaimed Scottaholic]]]]
 
A 17-year-old-girl who Scott dated on a whim at the start of the series to ease his loneliness. She becomes obsessed with him and assimilates herself into his circle of friends. She ends up sticking around, even after Scott breaks up with her to date Ramona. Oh yeah, and she's a ninja {{spoiler|and so is her father.}}
-----
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 197 ⟶ 199:
* [[Little Miss Badass]]
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: You'd be hard pressed to not find fanart of her with a scarf, highlights, and [[Sai Guy|sai]].
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: "You'll always be my Clash at Demonhead."
{{quote|(Whatever that means.)}}
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: "What kind of idiot would knowingly date a girl names Knives?"
Line 214 ⟶ 216:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
 
=== (Young) Neil Nordegraf ===
[[File:Young_Neil_5319.png|frame|'''Young Neil'''<br />[[Older Than They Look|Age: Not really young]]<br />Stephen's Roommate]]
 
Line 230 ⟶ 232:
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Volume 6: The greatest day of Young Neil's life was when Scott simply called him "Neil". ...Kinda sad, isn't it?
 
=== Envy Adams ===
[[File:250px-Envy_Adams_3412.png|frame|'''Natalie V. Adams'''<br />[[Vague Age|Age: 24 years old?]]<br />["[Rapunzel Hair|Hair: Extra Large"]] ]]
 
The world-famous lead singer of the super group The Clash at Demonhead. She is also Scott's old girlfriend from their college days. They were in a band together, they broke up, she joined a new band, she got famous, Scott didn't. She's currently dating her bassist, Todd Ingram. {{spoiler|1=After Scott and Ramona inadvertently kill the other two members of TCaDh, she launches a solo career and signs with Gideon's recording label}}.
Line 241 ⟶ 243:
* [[Costume Porn]]
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In the movie. A lot of her scenes were given to Ramona and Roxie.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]
* [[Empathic Environment]]: The sky was raining the whole time she was in Toronto and in the game, after she loses, she melts away from a [[Personal Raincloud|raincloud]].
* [[Evil Diva]]
Line 272 ⟶ 274:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade A.
 
== The League of Evil Exes ==
=== Matthew Patel ===
[[File:250px-matthew_Patel_7342.png|frame|'''Matthew Patel'''<br />Ramona's 1st Evil Ex-Boyfriend<br />[[Evil Sorcerer|Powers: Mystical]]]]
 
Line 299 ⟶ 301:
{{quote|''This is impossible! How can this be?''
Scott: ''Open your eyes, and maybe you'll see!'' }}
* [[Token Minority]]: As the "only non-white, non-jock" in Ramona's middle school, this trope was the only reason she truly bothered with him in the first place. It's also the primary basis for his "mystical powers," according to Ramona herself. [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|Once they overpowered everyone else in their middle school...]]
* [[Villain Song]]: "Slick" in the movie, more or less taken out of his scene in the graphic novel with the ''[[Space Channel 5]]'' elements replaced with a Bollywood number.
* [[Warmup Boss]]: [[Word of God]] claims he was supposed to be rather pathetic, what with his letters and his one sided fight with Scott.
** Not to mention when he bursts into coins the resulting pocket change isn't even enough for the bus ride home. Probably related to the [[Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness]].
 
=== Lucas Lee ===
[[File:250px-Lucas_Lee_8357.png|frame|'''Lucas Lee'''<br />Ramona's 2nd Evil Ex-Boyfriend<br />[[Token Good Teammate|Not really evil]]]]
 
Line 329 ⟶ 331:
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: In the comics.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: He becomes less of a nice guy and more of a jerk in the film.
* [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: In the game. He has much more health and does more damage to the players with each hit than Matthew Patel, and summons skateboarders who are fast, also do a pretty large amount of damage, block more frequently, and will pick up skateboards (or other weapons) and use reach. Lee himself has a nasty combo attack once he has a skateboard that hits three times. In addition, any time the player is knocked prone there is a good chance anyone on a skateboard will run them over for more damage. However, all of these factors can be mitigated or avoided by players with a better idea of Lee's boss pattern or who have come in with inflated levels.
* [[Wolfpack Boss]]: He's content to let his stunt doubles beat Scott to a pulp instead of doing it himself.
 
=== Todd Ingram ===
[[File:180px-Todd_Ingram_6659.png|frame|'''Todd Ingram'''<br />Ramona's 3rd Evil Ex-Boyfriend<br />[[Would Hit a Girl|Status: Incorrigible<br /> (Doesn't know the meaning of the word)]]<ref>([[The Ditz|He really doesn't]])</ref>]]
 
Third Evil Ex and and the bass player of the superband The Clash at Demonhead and the current boyfriend of its lead singer Envy Adams. He possesses psychic powers because of his devotion to [[Veganism and Vegetarianism|veganism]], but {{spoiler|he's not particularly faithful to it... or Envy for that matter}}.
-----
* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: He fills this role in the video game.
Line 347 ⟶ 349:
* [[Flipping the Bird]]
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Todd's defeat is caused by a variety of things he has done to himself; however, Scott takes advantage of his vegan weakness in the movie a lot more effectively.
* [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum]]: Telekinesis through veganism!
** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Because 90% of your brain is curds and whey...]]
* [[Jerkass]]: Really is in the running with Gideon as the biggest douche in the series.
Line 365 ⟶ 367:
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: {{spoiler|He cheats on Envy with Lynette}} and tries to claim it's [[Not What It Looks Like]], despite having her panties ''on his head''.
 
=== Roxanne Richter ===
[[File:250px-Roxy_1130.png|frame|'''Roxanne Richter'''<br />Ramona's 4th Evil Ex-Boyfriend<br />{{spoiler|[[Smurfette Principle|Gender: Female]]]]}}
 
Line 390 ⟶ 392:
* [[Psycho Ex-Girlfriend]] ''and'' [[Psycho Lesbian]]
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: When menaced by an anonymous black blur in their first fight, Scott simply throws his fist up. Turns out he punched her in the boob, [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|much to his disgust.]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: In the movie and game, she uses a [[Whip Sword]]. Now take a moment to [[Castlevania: Rondo of Blood|remember her surname]].
* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]
** {{spoiler|[[Diagonal Cut]]}}
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The one female Evil Ex, which, in the comic, ''somehow'' is able to keep her from dying outright, getting her turned into several cute little animals instead.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Roxie" in the comic, "Roxy" in the movie.
* [[Woman Scorned]]: [[Character Exaggeration|Particularly in the movie.]]
 
=== Kyle and Ken Katayanagi ===
[[File:250px-EvilExTwins_2500.png|frame|'''Kyle and Ken Katayanagi'''<br />Ramona's 6th and 5th Evil Ex-Boyfriends<br />[[Smug Snake|Handsome Jerk and Perfect Asshat]]]]
 
Fifth and Sixth Evil Exes. A pair of Japanese twin DJs Ramona dated behind each other's backs. After she dumped them, they banded together to get back at her. They send their home-made robots out to battle Scott throughout Vol 5 before finally fighting him together.
-----
* [[Alliterative Name|Alliterative Names]]
Line 412 ⟶ 414:
* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Street Fighter|Ryu and Ken]]/[[Double Dragon|Billy and Jimmy Lee]].
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: In visual appearance. Kyle has white hair while Ken has black, and their outfits are opposite.
* [[Single-Minded Twins]]: Deliberately.
* [[Smug Snake]]: They ''are'' competent, but they still have this kind of demeanor.
* [[Vacuum Hurricane Kick]]
Line 419 ⟶ 421:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Kyle
 
=== Gideon Gordon Graves ===
[[File:Gideon_4258.png|frame|'''Gideon Gordon Graves'''<br />Ramona's 7th Evil Ex-Boyfriend<br />[[Complete Monster|Occupation: Asshole]]]]
 
Line 431 ⟶ 433:
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Gideon slips in a cameo ([[He Who Must Not Be Seen|shrouded in shadows]]) at the end of Volume 3 right after Scott defeats Todd. He also slips in another one in Volume 4 when Scott crashes Ramona's subconscious.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: to {{spoiler|Scott}}.
* [[Evil Plan]]: Control Ramona's love life and ultimately use her to complete his collection of ex-girlfriends.
** [[Evil Is Petty]]: Along with the above plan, he started all of this {{spoiler|simply because Ramaona dumped him when they were dating. The whole "league" only came about because he was drunk at the time and probably didn't even know what he was doing or that he would even be taken seriously.}}
* [[Final Boss]]
Line 460 ⟶ 462:
 
== Others ==
=== Julie Powers ===
[[File:694px-Julie_Powers_4035.jpg|frame|'''Julie Powers'''<br />[[The Snark Knight|The Original and the Best]]<br />WARNING: Huge Bitch!]]
 
Line 477 ⟶ 479:
 
 
=== Stacey Pilgrim ===
[[File:stacy_pilgrim949_225.jpg|frame|'''Stacy Pilgrim'''<br />Age: A very mature 18 years old<br />[[Only Sane Man|The Only Sane Woman]]]]
 
Scott's younger, more mature sister. Rated "T" for Teen. She serves as Scott's moral support when Wallace is nowhere to be found. Works at the Second Cup coffee house and becomes good friends with Ramona. She is based on and shares the same first name as Bryan Lee O'Malley's real-life sister.
-----
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Fag Hag]]: In the 6th level of the video-game she is the only straight background character. Make of that what you will.
* [[Only Sane Man]]
* [[Satellite Character]]: For Scott.
* [[Ship Tease]]: {{spoiler|with Neil}}.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: In the movie.
<br clear="all" />
 
=== Mr. Chau ===
[[File:250px-Mr__Chau_296.png|frame|'''Mr. Chau'''<br />Age: Adult<br />[[Knight Templar Parent|Even more dedicated than his daughter]]]]
 
Line 499 ⟶ 502:
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
* [[Determinator]]: Doubles as a [[Shout-Out]] as well.
* [[Fun with Subtitles]]: He speaks only in Chinese characters. The other characters aren't privy to the translation subtitles--not even his own daughter.
** This becomes a [[Bilingual Bonus]] because what he says to her is not remotely related to the translation given.
* [[Implacable Man]]
Line 511 ⟶ 514:
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Attacked Ramona basically for being in the same breathing space as Scott, who later tricks him into attacking Roxy.
 
=== Lisa Miller ===
[[File:250px-Lisa_4455.png|frame|'''Lisa Miller'''<br />[[Guest Star Party Member]]<br />["[Unlucky Childhood Friend|"The Old Best Friend"]] ]]
 
Another old friend of Scott's from his high school days. They lost contact with he moved away, but they reconnect when she shows up in Vol 4. Years before Scott Pilgrim was created, Bryan Lee O'Malley used the name "Lisa Miller" for a different (or at least much less defined) character in his short-lived comic strip "Style".
-----
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Whenever Paul Robertson draws her (i.e. for the game and the six-volume comic box set), she has pale pink hair instead of the blonde O'Malley uses. This could be a reference to Bryan Lee O'Malley's old web comic, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120315051714/http://www.radiomaru.com/comics/style_oni/style-3.jpg Style], where she had pink hair.
* [[Just Friends]]
* [[She's All Grown Up]]
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Sadly.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Averted. Lisa brings it up, but Scott is not willing.
<br clear="all" />
 
=== Lynette Guycott ===
[[File:160px-Lynette_9333.png|frame|'''Lynette Guycott'''<br />Dream Job: Awesome Ninja<br />[[Teleport Spam|Special Ability: Teleportation]]]]
 
Line 538 ⟶ 542:
* [[Teleporters and Transporters|Teleportation]]
** [[Teleport Spam]]
* [[The Vamp]]: A short scene in the comic shows her from Todd's P.O.V seducing him to cheat on Envy.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Just like the Katayanagi twins, Lynette's character is practically excised from the film in order to focus on the Scott-Ramona-Todd-Envy [[Love Dodecahedron]]. She's there in the background, but she gets no lines and her defining moment in the comic (punching the highlights out of Knives' hair) is transferred over to Todd just to up his already sky-high douchebag factor. Once the actual fighting starts she's never seen again.
 
=== The Negascott ===
[[File:250px-Nega_Scott_8416.png|frame|'''Negascott'''<br />Age: -24 years old<br />[[Evil Counterpart|Rating: Negative Awesome!]]]]
 
Line 552 ⟶ 556:
* [[Slasher Smile]]
* [[Split Personality Merge]]
<br clear="all" />
 
=== Joseph ===
[[File:171px-SP2_joseph_id_1135.png|frame|'''Joseph'''<br />[[Satellite Character|Kim's Roommate]]<br />Status: Professional Dillhole]]
 
Line 566 ⟶ 571:
** {{spoiler|Though general consensus is, he's really much more of a bitch. }}
* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: It turns out he's responsible for all the broadcasting music going on in the game except for in the Katayanagis' lair and places like [[Fictional Counterpart|Leo's Place]] and Chaos Theater.
* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]
<br clear="all" />
 
=== Michael Comeau ===
[[File:200px-Michael_Comeau_1084.png|frame|'''Michael Comeau'''<br />The Mutual Friend<br />[[Hey, It's That Guy!|Knows everybody; including you!]]]]
 
Line 579 ⟶ 585:
* [[Mauve Shirt]]
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]
<br clear="all" />
 
=== Tamara Chen ===
Knives's best friend, and when you get right down to it her only friend. Usually turns up whenever Knives has to angst about her love for Scott.
