Soul Series/Characters/Soul Calibur II: Difference between revisions

Weapon(s) - Rapier

 

 

A French noble who was marked for death due to supporting an acquaintance who was corrupted by the Evil Seed. He is saved by a young girl named Amy. He decides to take revenge against those who did him wrong by obtaining Soul Edge, but there is a second objective: to repay Amy for helping him, by creating a better world for her. He eventually finds Nightmare and fights him, but loses the battle. However, as Nightmare attempts to kill him, Siegfried begins to resurface and Raphael exploits this vulnerability by stabbing Soul Edge's eye. This releases Siegfried from the sword's control, and Raphael collapses.

* [[Lolicon]]: A few of the tropes below give off some rather... unfortunate subtext.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]:

** Definitely noticeable by ''V'', where his voice sounds less calm and more unhinged, as though he just got out of an insane asylum.

* [[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.

Weapon(s) - Elbow blades

 

 

Talim is a priestess ([[Last of Their Kind|the last priestess]], to be specific) of a tribe who worship the winds. She seeks to restore the balance of nature by purging the powers of the two swords. She heads out and tries to catch the forces of evil, and ends up getting entangled with Yun-seong and Seong Mi-na.

Weapon(s) - Chinese sword

 

 

A student of Seong Mi-na's father, and [[Ascended Fanboy]] of Hwang. Following his hero's example, he goes after Soul Edge in order to prove to him he's a great fighter. He gets ludicrous levels of stubborness in ''IV'', where Talim, Mi-na, ''AND'' Hwang all tell him the sword's pure evil, only for him to dismiss them and continue under the excuse "I want to see it by myself."

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Hwang tells him '''not''' to go after Soul Edge, but he goes anyway, and he's not even listening to Seong Mi-na anymore.

* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: His goal to find Soul Edge is a direct result of his hopes to protect his homeland. There's also this exchange with Mitsurugi in ''III'', the second he sees him:

* [[Shonen Hair]]: He sports an impressively spiky quiff.

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Hong Yunsung?

Weapon(s) - Short sword and shield

 

 

Sophitia's younger sister. She heads out to destroy Soul Edge so that her family can live in peace. As of ''IV'', she fought against Raphael but got tricked and lost her shard of Soul Edge, and later follows Siegfried's trail believing he has the "Holy Stone" that can destroy Soul Edge (well, he does have ''one'' big crystal that can do that, anyway...)

* [[Large Ham]]: "I guess this means I'm the best!"

* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: She comes across as quite sarcastic and even downright bitchy sometimes:

"Oh my, how stupid are you?" }}

* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]

* {{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.}}

* [[Valley Girl]]: A fairly subtle version, but it's there in her vocalization (in English) and precocious personality.

 

=== Necrid ===

Todd McFarlane's [[Badass]] demon appears in the series due to a deal with Namco to publish his character Necrid in exchange for toys created of the series' characters. Malebolgia sends him to the Soul World to retrieve Soul Edge. Exclusive to the [[X Box]] version.

 

 

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

A Hylian hailing from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. Travels to the Soul world to destroy Soul Edge, which had threatened Hyrule. Exclusive to the [[Nintendo Gamecube|GameCube]] version.

 

 

* [[Battle Theme Music]]: An arrangement of the ''Zelda'' theme plays when he fights in the Eurydice Shrine.

Weapon(s) - His own fists with steel wrist guards

 

 

He is transported to the 16th century after his blood made contact with a shard of Soul Edge, making him relive the shard's memories, and wants to test his strength against ancient warriors. Exclusive to the [[Play Station 2|PS2]] version.
