Solatorobo/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

The characters of ''[[Solatorobo]]''. Beware of spoilers, especially in the "Other Important Characters" folder.

 

== Main Trio ==

=== Red Savarin ===

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Before Red (voiced by [[Tetsuya Kakihara]]) competes in the final round of the Duel Ship Rookie Tournament, he tells the receptionist "[[Fairy Tail|I'm fired up!]]".

* [[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]]: The foolish one with Chocolat keeping him in line.

* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Red's got this habit of speakin' with the Gs missin' off the ends of his words. It seems to serve no purpose other than to give him a unique way of speakin' (and possibly makin' him look [[Everything Is Big in Texas|a little bit denser]]). {{spoiler|The accent doesn't even make ''sense'', as neither his adopted sister, whom he has lived with for nine years, nor his biological parents (who he likely learned to talk from) speak with any identifiable accent.}}

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: He has goggles and might could use them, but is never seen actually wearing them.

* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: Red is embarrassed that Chocolat is showing off the Asmodeus while his boxers are hanging out in a [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__jUtxBOsFyg/TNs9dmOD43I/AAAAAAAABKY/v72fHQzDMdY/s1600/05.png 4koma comic].

* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]}}

* [[Happily Adopted]]: Brother-sister example in Red and Chocolat. Considering she's only 13, he may actually have legal custody of her, despite the fact that [[Closer to Earth|she deals with day-to-day issues like money]] much better than he does.

* {{spoiler|[[Henshin Hero]]}}: Red's Trance. {{spoiler|In fact, ''trance'' may actually be a mis-transliteration of ''trans''form, since both would be spelled ''toransu'' in Japanese.}}

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Red usually acts before he thinks.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Elh outright calls Red 'hot-headed' during the post {{spoiler|Part 2}} credits sequence. He only solves ''one'' of the three riddles for the {{spoiler|Flute}}, settling the first two with violence. Frequently charges in without thinking, and says some pretty cheesy things with a straight face.

 

=== Chocolat Gelato ===

Red's little sister. She [[Wrench Wench|loves all things mechanical]], and so spends a lot of time fixing up DAHAK or the Asmodeus, their home airship.

 

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: She flies the Asmodeus from inside a protected cockpit and never ventures outside, so she has no need of her goggles (which she never wears, either).

* [[Happily Adopted]]: Brother-sister example in Red and Chocolat. Considering she's only 13, he may actually have legal custody of her, despite the fact that [[Closer to Earth|she deals with day-to-day issues like money]] much better than he does.

* [[Improbable Piloting Skills]]: For a 13 year-old, Chocolat pilots the Asmodeus exceptionally. Scratch that, Chocolat pilots the Asmodeus exceptionally, ''period''.

* [[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone]]: To Cyan, Princess Theria, {{spoiler|and Opéra, when Red and Elh make up after he got fangirled to death by Theria, Alicia, and Toffee}} after winning the Prairie Kingdom Cup.

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Teen Genius]]: Chocolat Gelato. 13 years old and an engineer that not only manages to pilot her own home airship, but also manages the financial issues between her and her brother.

* [[Three Amigos]]: With Red and Elh, by the end of the story. {{spoiler|Subverted in that both sidekicks are female.}}

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly-girl counterpoint to {{spoiler|Elh, once everyone learns she's female.}}

 

=== Elh Melizée ===

 

* [[Anger Born of Worry]]: After Red takes on Nero and Blanck for the first time, he barely escapes with his life. Once he wakes up and everyone is sure he's okay, Elh socks him a few times for being such an idiot. [[Slap Slap Kiss|Then they comment on how it's good to see each other again after several months.]]

* {{spoiler|[[Bokukko]]}}: {{spoiler|In the Japanese script, confusing Red and Chocolat about her gender.}}

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: To Red. So, '''so''' much.

** [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Blocking a [[Macross Missile Massacre]]? Awesome. Fainting when Red's not around to protect you? Not so awesome.

* [[Cats Are Magic]]: Elh's [[Mana|Nono]] also reacts to certain artifacts with [[Power Glows|glowing]] [[Facial Markings]] and allows use of a [[Barrier Warrior|barrier spell]].

* {{spoiler|[[Conflicting Loyalty]]}}: {{spoiler|Elh choosing between the loyalty to her duty to seal Lares (which requires the sacrifice of Red) and her loyalty to her friend.}}

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Facial Markings]]: Grey cheek stripes.

* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: When confronted with [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|bugs]]. {{spoiler|Of course, given that she ''is'' a girl, it's more understandable, but Red didn't know that at the time.}} And again when {{spoiler|Bruno attempts to sacrifice Red in the Rite of Feasting}}.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Red.

* [[Skirt Over Slacks]]

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Elh, normally calm and distant, occasionally shows a softer side ([[Defrosting Ice Queen|it gets shown more often as the story progresses]]).

* [[Tender Tears]]: Elh apparently does not have a problem with crying, possessing at least two separate sprites with small droplets at the eye corners and displaying them without shame. The second opening animation even includes a [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]].

* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Inside Lares, there's a fork in the road. Red and {{spoiler|Béluga}} [[Let's Split Up, Gang!|decide to split up]], and you're forced to choose if Elh should stay with you or take the other path. Choose to go alone, and Elh will ''insist'' on going with you - but only because it's safer {{spoiler|to separate the Paladins}}, of course!

* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Elh, who is not very good at dealing with emotions, occasionally says things like "I feel happy" or "I feel disappointed." This is usually only in cases of positive or mild emotions, however; extreme anger [[Armor-Piercing Slap|doesn't]] [[Megaton Punch|need]] [[Kuudere|words]].

* [[Three Amigos]]: With Red and Chocolat, by the end of the story. {{spoiler|Subverted in that both sidekicks are female.}}

== The Kuvasz/Kurvaz ==

=== Bruno Dondurma ===

 

* [[The Big Bad]]: His chase after the medallion to awaken Lares is the major conflict of the game. {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss|At first.]]}}

 

=== Opéra Kranz ===

The leader of the Kurvaz special ops unit. A little bit snotty but no less dangerous, she feels indebted to Bruno and works for him despite his increasingly aggressive orders.

 

* [[Facial Markings]]: Red cheek stripes.

* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Princess]]}}: A DLC quest reveals that {{spoiler|she was the daughter of a wealthy couple, but they died in an accident ten years ago and the fortune they left their daughter was seized from her; the only things she has left are two of her servants, Gren and Calua. Bruno took her in, raised her, and eventually gave her a job working for him, resulting in her loyal gratitude.}}

* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]

* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Conspicuously ''absent''. While her [[All There in the Manual|official profile]] claims she speaks with an "imperious drawl", her speech is rendered no differently than any other character.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: While not as interested in trying to [[Take Over the World]] as Bruno, she feels indebted to him for things he did in the past and is willing to go along with his antagonistic ways.

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Her suit includes lines of spines along her [[Fan Service|breasts and hips]] as well as on her arms.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: The recipient of Gren and Calua's [[Undying Loyalty]].

* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: One of Opéra's [[Voice Grunting|voice clips]] is a fairly subtle combination of "meow" and "oui".

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

 

=== Gren Sacher and Calua Napage ===

 

Opéra's two servants. Gren is the more serious underling, while Calua is goofy, fun-loving, and doesn't take things too seriously. Gren's straight-laced nature can sometimes put him at odds with Calua, but they agree in their [[Undying Loyalty]] to Lady Opéra.

 

=== Merveille Million ===

The Kurvaz's Development Chief and Bruno's personal secretary, though she's not at all fond of him since he began trying to [[Take Over the World]]. A genius at [[Mini-Mecha]] design, she's personally responsible for many of the mechanical innovations in the guild.

 

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: {{spoiler|She "let" the ''intentionally'' "defective" Red escape with the Dahak - which she created ''specifically'' to help him - seemingly as a backup plan or ''some'' form of insurance against Baion.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Creating Life]]}}: {{spoiler|She's the "mother" of Red, Nero, and Blanck.}}

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Especially in [[Mini-Mecha]] design {{spoiler|and biology}}.

* [[Geeky Turn On]]: When Merveille is presented with a hologram of a field of flowers, she's just as taken with the technology as she is with the beauty of the image.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Béluga. They are mostly seen together in the main quest and in the DLC quests {{spoiler|Béluga gives a field of flowers hologram for Merveille and tries to impress her in an arena fight.}}

* [[Spock Speak]]: Merveille lapses into this at times.

** [[Huge Girl Tiny Guy]]: If she and Béluga ever make it official.

 

=== Béluga Damiens ===

A solitary and somewhat mysterious Felineko Hunter who has been aiding the Kurvaz lately for his own reasons. He and Elh have a history {{spoiler|as the last two Paladins, an ancient clan tasked with performing the Rite of Forfeit in order to seal Lares}}.

 

* [[The Gunslinger]]: Béluga and his mech, Salamander. His outfit even includes [[Cowboy|gratuitous spurs]].

* [[Geeky Turn On]]: When Merveille is presented with a hologram of a field of flowers, she's just as taken with the technology as she is with the beauty of the image. Béluga likes this aspect of her and finds it one of her most charming points, so would that be a Geeky Turn On Turn On?

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: [[Ship Tease|Teased]] with Merveille.

* {{spoiler|[[Last of His Kind]]}}: {{spoiler|He's one of the last two Paladins}} along with Elh, due to {{spoiler|Baion burning their home Ragdoll to the ground.}}

 

=== Captain Grumpf ===

* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]

* [[Fangs Are Evil]]

== Other Important Characters ==

=== Baion ===

A new villain who rises not long after Bruno's defeat, Baion appears human and has a much simpler goal: instead of trying to [[Take Over the World]], he just wants to [[Kill'Em All]] and cleanse the planet of its defective furry population.

 

 

=== Nero and Blanck ===

 

A pair of Hybrids [[Creating Life|created by]] {{spoiler|Merveille}}. They believe it is their right to kill and destroy the Caninu and Felineko.

* [[Mini-Mecha]]: Waffle pilots one.

 

=== Alicia, Stair, and Flare Priss ===

 

The three Priss sisters from ''[[Tail Concerto]]''. They're on vacation in Shepherd, but of course they can't resist causing some mischief - or at least Alicia can't, as it gets Waffle's attention; Stair and Flare seem quite content to just sight-see, but follow her lead anyway.

 

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Stair.

** [[Curtains Match the Window]]

 

=== Princess Therria and Cyan Garland ===

 

=== Mamoru and his father ===

** [[This Is No Time to Panic]]: In a DLC quest, Mamoru tries to calm a bunch of civilians with this phrase. He is a rescue worker after all.

 

== Other Minor Characters ==

Any other minor characters who are of [[Nominal Importance]] or who otherwise make a difference in the story, in alphabetical order (as many are found only in [[Sidequest|Side Quests]] and thus players may encounter them in different chronological orders). Catalog that [[Cast of Snowflakes]]!

One of your first quest givers in Airedale. He disturbs Red quite a bit.

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Amélie

** [[Green Eyed Red Head]]

 

=== Barry ===

* [[Cannot Talk to Women]]: He's too shy to speak to girls directly.

** [[Poor Communication Kills]]: This causes problems when {{spoiler|Cocona believes him to be stalking her because he follows her around but doesn't say anything. He actually just wants to return the watch she dropped}}.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Subverted; {{spoiler|he's just trying to return a watch to Cocona, but [[Cannot Talk to Women|gets too nervous to approach g-g-girls]]. Then it becomes [[Double Subverted]] when it's implied that he was taking advantage of the situation to stalk her anyway.}}

Son of the mayor of Shetland.

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: {{spoiler|He and his Howlers are big fans of Cocona and want her autograph.}}

 

=== Ozir, Steven, and Chuck ===

Three Felineko living at the Training Grounds in Mau. Ozir is their teacher.

=== Québec ===

An old Hunter who gives Red his first quest to fetch a file on the Hindenburg.

=== Quentin ===

The master of the Duel Ship who offers Red a chance to compete for money.

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]

* [[Greed]]: His only motivation for bringing in new fighters is to make himself more money. Thankfully he's at least smart enough to know that ''you can't cheat your fighters out of their winnings'' if you want them to continue working for you.

* [[Fan Girl]]: She becomes Red's when he joins the battle arena.

* [[Mini-Mecha]]: Pilots one.
