Solatorobo/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

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

 

== Main Trio ==

=== Red Savarin ===

The upbeat, determined hero of the game. Red is a Hunter, which is ''ostensibly'' short for "bounty hunter" but probably better described as "the guy who does odd jobs". His robo, DAHAK, is the main source of income for both himself and his [[Happily Adopted|adopted]] little sister, Chocolat. Has a tendency to [[Open Mouth, Insert Foot|say things that get him in trouble]] or [[Innocently Insensitive|accidentally offend others]], but he's a good guy at heart.

 

* [[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].

 

=== 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.

 

 

=== 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.

== The Kuvasz/Kurvaz ==

=== Bruno Dondurma ===

The leader of the Kurvaz, currently the largest Hunter Guild in Shepherd. A rather arrogant sort whose newest ambition is to [[Take Over the World]] without losing his [[100% Heroism Rating]].

 

 

=== 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.

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Opéra is quite tall compared to most of them, being 170 cm/5'7".

* [[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.

 

=== 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}}.

 

 

=== 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.

=== 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.

* [[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.}}

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