=== Raphael Sorel ===
Origin - ''Rouen, French Empire''
 
Line 48:
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Raphael's ultimate goal is to create a new world for his adoptive daughter Amy. His primary methods of doing this are as follows: manipulating events from behind the scenes, killing innocent people to quench his vampirism, in the process turning them into undead, malfested slaves under his command, and being a complete asshole to anyone who gets in his way.
* [[Nice Hat]]: In ''V'', which gives him a striking similarity in appearance to [[Vampire Hunter D|D]]/[[Van Helsing]]. There is definitely some twisted irony behind this observation.
** Or a medieval version of [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Hazama]].
** Thanks to his fencing prowess, the headgear also gives him the air of a [[The Three Musketeers (novel)|Musketeer of the Guard]].
** Before the official announcement, people thought he was [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jotaro]] based on his window on the character select screen.
** It's likely based on the [[wikipedia:Ankou|"Ankou,"]] a [[The Grim Reaper|personification of death]] from early French folklore who is often depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat, as shown [https://web.archive.org/web/20120512060921/http://perlbal.hi-pi.com/blog-images/103841/gd/1187000939/L-Ankou.jpg here.]
* [[Papa Wolf]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's 49 by the time of ''V'', but still looks 32, thanks to his vampirism.
Line 64:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
 
=== Talim ===
Origin - ''Nayong Anito ng Hangin, South-East Asia (Philippines)''
 
Line 81:
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[The Cape (trope)]]: The sort of hero she is.
* [[Catgirl]]: In her ''Soulcalibur IV'' alternate costume -- comescostume—comes complete with paw-shaped mittens and boots.
* [[The Cutie]]: To a point.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Her weapons are bladed tonfas.
Line 95:
* [[Nice Hat]]: As seen in her ''Soulcalibur III'' alternate costume and her ''Soulcalibur IV'' main costume.
** Also seen in her unlockable third ''Soulcalibur II'' costume.
* [[Philippines]]: She's a native. Of the region at least -- aleast—a good portion of her move-list uses native Tagalog words. Her name Talim is itself the Tagalog word for "Edge" or "Sharp."
* [[Purity Personified]]: Easily the sweetest character in the series.
* [[Waif Fu]]: She's only 4'8" (144  cm) tall.
* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]]: Her ultimate weapon(s) in ''Soulcalibur IV'' makes her the only character, besides Algol (the final boss), that can use Soul Edge and Soul Calibur ''at the same time''. Kilik and Zasalamel carry something similar, but not quite.
 
=== Hong Yun-seong ===
Origin - ''Jirisan, Korea''
 
Line 124:
* [[Surfer Dude]]: His look in ''SCIII''.
 
=== Cassandra Alexandra ===
Origin - ''Athens, Ottoman Empire (Greece)''
 
Line 157:
* [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: Same deal as her sister.
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: An interesting example of a completely mundane character displaying a lack of this -- despitethis—despite being skilled with Sophitia's weapons, she doesn't know how to take care of them. Her ''Soulcalibur III'' profile mentions she got Rothion to fix them up after ''II'', and in ''III'' {{spoiler|her weapon breaks when she uses it to destroy Soul Edge. [[Quick Time Event|If]] Sophitia finds out in her ending, she sends her straight to the forge to fix it... cut to Cassandra having a sobbing fit, wailing that she ''doesn't know how''.}}
* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: [http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/cassandra-sc4-art.jpg Sports a pair in] ''IV''. It closely resembles her Player 2 costume from ''SCII'' with a different color scheme.
* {{spoiler|[[Trapped in Another World]]: ''[[All There in the Manual|New Legends Of Project Soul]]'' indicates that Cassandra was dragged into Astral Chaos during the defeat of Soul Edge at the end of ''IV'', which explains why she vanished without a trace for 17 years without even trying to find her nephew and niece. No comment has yet been released if Pyrrha Omega tearing open Astral Chaos by claiming Soul Edge allowed Cassandra to escape.}}
Line 163:
{{quote|"Have you looked in the mirror recently?"}}
 
=== Necrid ===

Line 199:
* [[Was Once a Man]]
 
=== [[Spawn]] (Al Simmons) ===
Origin - ''Detroit, Michigan US''
 
Line 218:
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Put bluntly, Spawn is eternally pissed and it's easy to set him off.
 
=== [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]] ===
Origin - ''Hyrule''
 
Line 236:
* [[Screaming Warrior]]: [[Heroic Mime|Regardless of the above]], he ''does'' [[Kiai|yell a lot.]] He's quite good at it.
 
=== [[Tekken|Heihachi Mishima]] ===
Origin - ''Japan''

* [[Title Drop]]: And not of ''Soulcalibur''. His ultimate "weapon" (bare fists) is named "Tekken."
 
=== Berserker ===
Origin - ''Holy Roman Empire (Germany)''
 
Line 269:
* [[Expy]]: Duplicates Rock's movelist.
 
=== Assassin ===
Origin - ''Persia (Iran)''
 
Line 278:
* [[Expy]]: Duplicates Hwang's movelist. This has lead to some believing that Assassin (if there is only one such character) ''is'' Hwang.
 
=== Lizardmen (Fygul Cestemus experiments) ===
Origin - ''Grand Shrine of Palgaea, Persia (Iran)''
 
Line 290:
