Soul Nomad & the World Eaters/Characters: Difference between revisions

===== Protagonists =====

=== Revya ===

'''Revya''' (When Danette suggests hotpods will fall from the sky): That’s a pretty stupid thing to say. }}

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Red hair and red eyes.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Revya's still a good person despite the trope above. {{spoiler|Averted in the Demon Path.}}.

* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: {{spoiler|After eating the soul of Gestahl,}}, Revya gains the Demon Force ground tech during the last battle of the normal campaign. It can be used on repeat plays during the whole game, however.

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]: To Levin in the Demon Path.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]: Doesn't even begin to describe the Demon Path.}}.

* [[Gender Bender]]: Female Revya. {{spoiler|She was Lord Median's son in her past life, and reincarnated as a female.}}. Of course, it's averted if you chose male.

* [[The Hero]]:

* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: The choice in weaponry was already decided for him/her, though.

* [[I Am Who?]]: {{spoiler|Revya is [[The Reveal|revealed]] to be a World Eater and reincarnation of Median's child by the real Layna in the world of Drazil.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Laughing Mad]]: In the Bad End of the Demon Path.}}.

* [[Made of Iron]]: Possibly. Gig remarks after {{spoiler|Endorph destroys Raksha with Psycho Burgundy .}} that despite being the closest to the explosion, s/he was unscathed by the blast.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Doesn't get any worse than {{spoiler|'''The Devourlord'''}}.

* [[Power At a Price]]: Could easily destroy the World Eaters on a caprice should he/she choose to use Gig's powers. However, the more Revya uses, the more likely Gig will devour his/her soul.

* [[Red Baron]]: {{spoiler|The Devourlord}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Reincarnation]]: Of Median's son and Layna's older brother.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: In the Demon Path Good Ending.}}.

* [[Silent Protagonist]]: Subverted in that s/he is STILL able to communicate with the others through occasional dialogue choices, and for the sake of moving the plot, there tends to be one option of what to say. When you get other options, it's when you are getting [[Relationship Values]] or {{spoiler|routes to other endings}}.

** Lampshaded in ''Disgaea 3'' where Mao gives her a voice for use in battle and wonders why anyone would make a game where the main character doesn't talk.

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Demon Blast. Let's just say it involves [[Beam Spam]] and {{spoiler|in the Demon Path, it was the [[Finishing Move]] Revya used to destroy all of existence}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]: He/She ends up being Virtuous and Haephnes' unknowing pawn in restoring the cycle of souls.}}.

* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: {{spoiler|If you chose for Revya to be a male, he ends up married to Danette in her ending.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Revya devours Gig in the Demon Path.}}.

A fallen god sealed inside the Onyx Blade. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|A Master of Death.]] Omnicidal, sociopathic, and awesomely evil. Was not originally like this. {{spoiler|He was originally the benevolent Vigilance, but after Median killed him, he was reborn by Drazil as the [[Omnicidal Maniac]] we all know and love. [[Hilarity Ensues]].}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Thanks to Drazil}}.

** Well really nobody refers to Revya by name.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: In the Normal Path, he frequently tries to convinces Reyva to give him control and just as many times says he'll destroy the world if he gets control, so not surprisingly Revya always refuses.

* [[Large Ham]]: Especially in the English version.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|when Gig was revived by Drazil, all of his memories as Vigilance were creased, though over the course of the game, he gradually regains them.}}.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: During {{spoiler|the Good Ending of the Demon Path, Gig snaps back to his senses as Vigilance and despairs over the crimes he committed as Gig, vowing to set things right and atone.}}.

** [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|In the other ending, Gig quite abruptly regrets giving Revya so much power when Revya uses it all to ''devour him.''}}.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: As he often says, he wants to destroy everything, except hotpods.

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Sacrifices himself to defeat Drazil and his Masters of Life and Death,}}, however...

** {{spoiler|[[Redemption Earns Life]]: [[Unexplained Recovery|Haephnes revives him for it.]]}}.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Hotpods.

* [[You Will Be Spared]]: Hotpods.

* [[Determinator]]: She will follow Layna's orders no matter what is. {{spoiler|Going so far as to force her way through barely stable portal to another world.}}.

* [[The Lancer]]: Revya's outspoken and ditzy best friend and foil.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Her parents were in a religious war with the Thurists.}}.

* [[You Are Worth Hell]]: {{spoiler|In the Good Ending of the Demon Path, Revya gets sealed into the Oynx Blade. But Danette, not wanting her (former) best friend to have to suffer alone, has Dio seal her soul into the blade as well despite the fact that Reyva killed her earlier. And to top it all off, she sings the lullaby Reyva sung to her when she was little, so that (s)he can sleep better.}}.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have]]: Green Hair]].

* [[Dimension Lord]]: Rules the world of the same name.

=== Lady Layna {{spoiler|AKAa.k.a. Virtuous}} ===

===''' Voiced by: [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] (EN) ==='''

{{spoiler|In truth, she's Virtuous, Master of Life. She and Layna were once merged in a manner similar to Revya and Gig, but Gig killed their shared body once, and Layna's soul passed into the cycle of Rebirth, leaving Virtuous alone in her body. She is a World Ruler. Also a [[The Chessmaster|master manipulator]].}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: She is the Master of Life. She may not fight anymore, but she's helped Layna beat Gig, helped Revya and Gig KILL Median, and can make you stay dead for real.}}.

* [[Big Good]]: Alongside Heaphnes.

* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Because she is Virtuous, the Master of Life}}.

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: He has a crush on Trish, but can't get the words out, {{spoiler|even when he's revealed to Raksha, his feelings appear to genuine. He's unable to do the same with Female Revya during his epilogue.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]: To Revya, in the Normal Path.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[A God Am I]]: The ultimate goal of his [[Evil Plan]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Good Feels Good]]: In the Demon Path.}}.

* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Played with in the beginning, with his secret conversations and reports to Christophe. He's actually on Revya's side all the way.}}.

* [[Supreme Chef]]: His hotpods are apparently some of the best in the world.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: "I did NOT pretend to be a girl." {{spoiler|Funny, considering his [[Crossdresser|epilogue.]]}}.

* [[You Do NOT Want to Know]]: How he found out that {{spoiler|Kanan is actually male.}}.

* [[Dub Name Change]]: Her name in the Japanese version is Jost (Pronouncedpronounced [[No Pronunciation Guide|Youst]]).

* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: The 'humans are untrustworthy' subversion. Is willing to judge on an individual basis, however.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: He uses two pistols in ''Soul Nomad''.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: Fights with a pair of pistols.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Yes, he does it again, this time against Raksha. However, if some of the epilogues are to be believed, he escapes death once again.}}.

* [[Older and Wiser]]/[[Took a Level in Badass]]: It's hard to imagine that this guy, who is now [[Just Like Robin Hood]], a good mentor to the weak willed, and a [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero]] was once a [[Jerkass]] [[Social Darwinist]]. {{spoiler|See ''[[Phantom Brave]]''}}.

* [[Playing with Fire]]: His Front Row, Special Attack, and Team-Up Attack with Revya.

* [[Suicide Attack]]: Psycho Burgundy {{spoiler|which he uses to completely destroy Raksha, though he manages to survive, ''again''.}}.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Fights with a gigantic two-handed axe.

* [[The Big Guy]]: He's massive and bulky, as well as very strong.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: {{spoiler|heHe managed to pull a [[Batman Gambit]] on the Devourlord, as his personal Demon Path CMOA.}}.

* [[A Load of Bull]]: The Redflank are a race of Minotaur men.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: High health, attack and defense, but poor speed and movement.

A Draconsage, Dio is supposedly a great mage traveling with the legendary warrior Gestahl but proves to be an incompetent klutz when facing off against Revya's group. Eventually, it's discovered that his real name is Odie (and the "Gestahl" accompanying him is a hotpod farmer named Vangogh) and Dio is his much more powerful brother. He soon befriends Revya's group

** {{spoiler|[[Took a Level in Badass]]: In the Demon Path (being able to do things like break Revya's dominion over Vangou), to the point where even Dio was impressed by his growth.}}.

* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Can't take a hit to save his life, but his magic attack are devastating.

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: A bit in the Normal Path. {{spoiler|Big time in the Demon Path.}}.

=== Tricia ===

===''' Voiced by: [[Mai Nakahara]] (JP), [[Wendee Lee]] (EN) ==='''

* {{spoiler|[[Just Like Robin Hood]]: What she becomes in her epilogue.}}.

* [[Long Lost Sibling]]: {{spoiler|Shauna is her older sister.}}.

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: Her hair ornament, a keepsake left from her mother. {{spoiler|Actually, it's from her sister, Shari akaa.k.a. Shauna.}}.

* [[The Ojou]]: Wealthy, elegant, beautiful and kind.

* {{spoiler|[[The Ophelia]]: All the way, in Thethe Demon Path.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Parental Abandonment]]: When she was really young, she was separated from her father and sister. Some time later, she loses her adoptive father, [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|but that was for the best]].}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Rape as Drama]]: In the Demon Path.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Sanity Slippage]]: In the Demon Path, she gets raped by Hawthorne, but manages to escape death thanks to Shauna. She becomes increasingly insane and suicidal until her death.}}.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: In the Demon Path.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: They're older than Odie despite looking like toddlers.

* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: Angels are a normal, albeit endangered race rather than celestial beings in this setting.

* [[Shotguns Are Just Better]]: Agrippa.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: They're almost never seen apart.

* [[Wham! Episode]] : {{spoiler|The fun and games in the Demon Path stop once Agrippa is killed with little warning.}}.

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: "Median's daughter, Layna, had come into her own and become a true leader." In-game, it's said she's beaten the legendary dragon Sluperam {{spoiler|and almost killed Virtuous, the woman who killed her father.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: She's actually the hero's little sister from their previous life.}}.

=== Lujei Piche ===

* [[Back from the Dead]]: Unclear; she was a ghost in her own game

* [[Spanner in the Works]]: {{spoiler|Specifically, she's the one who sent Sulfur back to the world of ''[[Phantom Brave]]'' as a [[Bonus Boss]], rendering the sacrifices involved pointless. Endorph was not happy to hear this.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Stable Time Loop]]: During the flashback where Median kills Vilgilance, if you answer "You must've been pissed", you find out that Lujei sends you back in time to fight Median. If you win, you find out that thanks to this, Virtuous finds out a way to fuse souls, thus making the plan of fusing Gig's and Revya's soul possible. Which also gave Drazil two souls for the last two World Eaters, Thuris and Raksha. So in short... Lujei helped SAVE the world! ...And gave Drazil the two souls he needed to create the last two death machines... But hey, it's Lujei.}}.

=== Christophe ===

* [[Heroic BSOD]] Has a minor one after {{spoiler|Cuthbert kills himself out of guilt}}. He picks himself together quickly, though.

* {{spoiler|[[Break the Haughty]]: In the Demon Path, big time.}}.

* [[Envy]]/[[The Starscream]]: Towards Thorndyke. He starts taking a level in badass after realizing Thorndyke was a really noble guy {{spoiler|who was unfairly executed. In the Demon Path, however, when Thorndyke is forced to join Revya, he ridicules him.}}.

* [[Out of Focus]]: In the Normal pathPath, after showing remarkable growth up to the fight with Feinne, he quite suddenly drops out of the storyline at about the same time as Juno.

* {{spoiler|[[Sanity Slippage]]: Galahad becomes the only real source of humor in the Demon Path because of the ''spectacular'' way he loses it.}}.

** {{spoiler|[[Dude, Not Funny]]: If you really think about it.}}.

* [[Her Heart Will Go On]]: Admits that she was in love with someone in the Demon Path (Normal Path hinted that her lover was one of the kings of Raide). It's implied that she wishes to see him.

* [[Seashell Bra]]: Takes it a step further; Alexemia has ''Seashell nipple-covers''.

* [[Dirty Kid]]: [[Buxom Is Better|He loves big boobs.]].

* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Thorndyke is his father.}}.

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Feinne is too powerful to defeat without tapping into Gig's power, and Gig's power comes with a heavy cost. {{spoiler|If you ''do'' defeat her when you're not supposed to, you end up fighting Asagi.}}.

* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: {{spoiler|She ''does'' self terminate as Resilience, and the results weren't pretty for her, so it's perhaps understandable she requests others do the job for her as Feinne. She requests this of both Gig and Raksha in the Normal and Demon Path respectively.}}.

* [[The Unfought]]: Borderline in the Normal pathPath; you're either hopelessly outclassed or she is, so there's not much chance to ever have a real fight with her.

* [[Guide Dang It]]: Thuris is the first World Eater type enemy you get into a real battle with, and can be a tricky foe until you figure out the easiest way to take them down. {{spoiler|The trick is, they can't move, so stay out of his range until everything else on the field is dead and then muster your forces and power yourself up outside his range, then move in for the kill. Unlike other enemies, World Eater types cannot counter attack, so you can beat on him with impunity during your turns.}}.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: In the Normal Path. So much that it ''even'' rivals the [[The Joker]]'s and actually frightens Gig. Story-wise, it's averted in the Demon RoutePath.

The third world eater encountered, Raksha is, like Feinne, inactive initially, but this is due to being sealed in a cursed forest by the Dio family for generations. {{spoiler|In truth, Raksha simply left his hollow shell of a body behind in the forest when he moved his soul into Levin's body instead.}}.

* [[The Brute]]: The strongest physically of the World Eaters, but not big on brain power. {{spoiler|Well, not quite; he's become one of Soul Nomad's many chessmasters since Gig was sealed.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]: heHe spends most of the game disguised as Levin to in a plan to kill anybody he considers a threat to his [[Evil Plan]] (the full details of which aren't stated), consisting of Thuris, Fienne, Layna, and Gig. Succeeds in his plan to kill Layna by having Dio trap everyone in a seal so she would come to release them so he could get the jump on her after killing the other two World Eaters.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]: Done to Levin.}}.

* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: {{spoiler|Reversed. If Gig's reactions are anything to imply, Raksha's taken a level in ''genius'' instead.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Devour the Dragon]]: Thuris eventually sacrifices him and the Thurists to power himself up during his boss battle.}}.

* [[The Dragon]]: To Thuris. {{spoiler|To Revya in Thethe Demon Path}}.

* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: {{spoiler|In the Demon Path, decides that Revya is a greater god since he/she's more evil than Thuris}}.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: As a Dracon hero unit, he's a powerful magic user.

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: {{spoiler|Abandons Thuris for Revya in the Demon Path when he realizes Revya's going to crush Thuris.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Blood on These Hands]]: Demon Path}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]: In the Demon Path}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Laughing Mad]]: In the Demon Path, does this after Kanan convinces him that he's always been a [[Blood Knight]] at nature and that his heroic past was only an excuse for him to kill.}}.

* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|To Penn. Penn decides to stay because he's already made his choice to grow up and live with the Nereids. Still, he's proud of the fact that his father is a renowned hero.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Sanity Slippage]]: In the Demon Path.}}.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Christophe.

* [[Evil Former Friend]]: Evidently, he and Christophe used to be friends.

* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: To Christophe.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: His past with Christophe has left him with serious trust issues. {{spoiler|In the Demon Path, he either refuses to believe that Revya trusts him or is actively hurt that she doesn't, depending on the dialogue.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Only Sane Man]]: In the Demon Path, where he eventually betrays and ditches Revya.}}.

=== Cuthbert ===

* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: More of working with less honorable people, Cuthburt really cares about his big brother. {{spoiler|The Demon Path reveals that Cuthburt joined Yesterwind because Christophe was ill and he needed the money to fund for a cure to save him.}}.

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: {{spoiler|Kills Lobo to ensure Christophe's hands stay clean.}}.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Shares this with Shauna and Lobo in the Demon Path, {{spoiler|but then Shauna too goes insane, and Lobo abandons Revya.}}.

A bandit who unlike Endorph despises the poor and would rather rob them blind and see them suffer. She serves as a recurring antagonist to Revya's group afterwards. {{spoiler|She's actually Trish's long-lost sister, Shari, and in the Normal Path gives up her medicine to save her from Scarlet Iago, eventually succumbing to the disease herself}}.

* [[Dark Chick]]: In the Demon Path.

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: Thought Tricia was this. Turns out otherwise.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: Died in Trish's arms after succumbing to the Scarlet Iago.}}.

* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: {{spoiler|Is quite protective of her sister.}}.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Endorph.

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: {{spoiler|In the Demon Path, after Trish kills herself, after which she gives up on everything and devolves into yet another [[Ax Crazy]] murderer.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Parental Abandonment]]: Of her own choice, as a child, no less. Tells her father to take baby Trish while she goes with a servant and escape the mob outside of their home.}}.

* [[Team Mom]]/[[Only Sane Man]]: {{spoiler|Serves as this in the Demon Path, at least until Trish commits suicide.}}.

* [[Playing with Fire]]: The are Pyre Mages.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Shauna.

=== Hawthorne ===

* {{spoiler|[[One-SceneRape WonderIs a Special Kind of Evil]]:}} Again,Used into bothshow pathshow evil he really is}}.

=== Dio of the Evil Eye ===

* [[Boom Stick]]: His weapon, since he is a Dracosage.

* [[Climax Boss]]: The last boss fought before {{spoiler|crossing over to the other world.}}. The battle in which you directly fight him and one before it are two of the longest and most tactically involving in the game, forcing you to carefully work your way around cramped terrain and bring down hordes of enemy troops. Dio himself is one of the very few enemies in the normalNormal pathPath to travel with a full team of nine units. And just to drive the point home, [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Rock n Rock's]] plays during the battle.

* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|To Gestahl.}}.

* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: {{spoiler|Joins the party in the Demon Path for a brief amount of time.}}.

* [[Not So Different]]: Is accused of being the same as Raksha in the normalNormal pathPath, to which he replies that Raksha doesn't actually want to rule anything, he just doesn't want anyone to give him orders.

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Like the others dracosage units, his staff shoots thunderbolts.

* [[Squishy Wizard]]: He is a Dracosage unit.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Median, even in death. {{spoiler|So much so that the entire family spent over 200 years trying to revive and keep him alive.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss]]: As Median the Conqueror. You gain access to him after you beat him}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: As Gesthal, he has to contantly use Crimson Tears and other peoples' lives to sustain his current state.}}.

* [[Climax Boss]]: Since the real final boss is an [[Anticlimax Boss]] to a certain extent, Gestahl is the last truly difficult foe in the Normal pathPath.

* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|DidYouJustBeatGigDid You Just Beat Gig?]]: As Median. Granted Gig was still Vigilance at the time, but the guy killed the ''freakin' [[Grim Reaper]]!'' And if you lose to [[Bonus Boss|him]], Virtuous falls too, though doesn't exactly end well for him.}}.

* [[The Dragon]]: For Dio. {{spoiler|But not really. Dio is his [[The Dragon|Dragon]].}}.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Blazing Swordsman, anyone?

** Forget Blazing Swordsman. Try his real name, {{spoiler|Median the '''Conqueror'''.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: All the problems in Haephnes were caused by him killing Vigilance out of revenge for the death of his son and his wish to live forever and govern the united Prodesto. (Toto be fair, he was tricked by Drazil into doing so). Also, there's an optional moment where if you lose to him in the [[Bonus Boss]] battle, he tries to kill Virtuous as well, which causes the end of the world.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[The Problem with Fighting Death]]: He was under the impression that killing the [[Grim Reaper|Master of Death]] will allow him to live forever and thus lead Prodesto to an age of prosperity and peace. [[It Got Worse|By the way, he's wrong]]}} .

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Sacrifices himself to give Revya her [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]].}}.

* [[Secret AI Moves]]: Averted; {{spoiler|Hehe's just as good as a [[Guest Star Party Member]] as he was as [[That One Boss]].}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: In the Demon Path bad ending.}}.

* [[Large Ham]]: He ''is'' voiced by [[Jamieson Price]] in the Dubdub.

* {{spoiler|[[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Revya's actions in the Demon Path leave Drazil struck with guilt and fully aware he's entirely at fault for what she's done.}}.
