Line 12:
* [[Badass]]: Just watch him perform his third [[Limit Break|Mystic Arte/Blast Calibur]] and just say he isn't a [[Badass]].
** [[Badass Adorable]]: As a kid, to the point {{spoiler|he managed to beat Bryce when he tried to assasinate Richard}}.
** [[Badass Boast]]: "Submit to my will!" During Kyokkorenge.
*** No one can stand against my blade! (during one of the post-battle poses)
* [[Bishonen]]: Not as much as Richard,but it's still there.
Line 18:
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: If you need help, Asbel '''will''' help you. No questions asked, even if it means the end of the world. Everyone, even {{spoiler|Lambda}} calls him out on it. However, it is Asbel's insistence to never give up this ideal that ultimately earned him {{spoiler|Lambda's respect.}}
* [[Clueless Chick Magnet]]: Its implied via NPCs/Skits that he had been one during his time at the Knight Academy.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]: And although it has definitely affected him, he doesn't spend much time angsting about it.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He has his moments.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: {{spoiler|To Lambda}}.
* [[Determinator]]: He won't let Sophie or Richard die. Ever.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Asbel has a ''much'' more varied elemental moveset than other ''Tales'' heroes, which incorporates water, ice, lightning, wind and fire.
* [[Expy]]: [[Hurricane Kick|Spin kick]]? [[Code Geass|Check]]. {{spoiler|[[Cain and Abel|Fighting a childhood friend that happens to be a prince]] }}? [[Code Geass|Check]]. [[Takahiro Sakurai]]? [[Code Geass|Check]].
** [[Captain Ersatz|The right portrait]]? [[Code Geass|Check]].
Line 28:
* [[Failure Knight]]: {{spoiler|He saw a childhood friend die and swore to protect as many people as possible after that.}} Needless to say, it doesn't always work.
** He gets hit by this '''a lot''' in the first half of the game.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: [[Expy|Various nicknames involving the words "spin-" or "-zaku"?]] [[Code Geass|Check]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]: In a strange, meta-example. He is probably the first protagonist in JRPG ''history'' to have ever {{spoiler|''destroyed'' the [[Omnicidal Maniac]] cliche by asking the piercing question, "What would it ''accomplish''?" When Lambda has no answer beyond mere flailing about and tranquil panic, it's the sign that Asbel has already won.}}
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: As a kid. He mellowed out over time, but he still has some elements of this trope.
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]: After he adopts Sophie in the future arc}}
* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]
Line 40:
'''Asbel''': Oh yeah! I remem...
'''[[Tsundere|Cheria]]''': So slow! }}
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: His third Blast Caliber, Zankuujin Muujinshou. It has to be seen to be believed.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: While technically speaking, Asbel equips generic "swords", his fighting style has some elements of stereotypical Japanese sword-usage.
* [[Keet]]: Had elements of this as a kid. Now, not so much.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Around Cheria. ''Hoo boy'', around Cheria.
** Not just around Cheria. He responds to any embarrassing situation by blushing.
* [[The Messiah]]: Finally develops into this by the end of the game.
* {{spoiler|[[Mismatched Eyes]]}}
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Although he gets better at spotting {{spoiler|Cheria's}} affections for him as time goes by.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Has elements of Type B, making him something of a male version of the trope.
* [[Say My Name]]: '''''"RICHAAAARRRDDD!!!"''''' '''''"SOPHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!"''''' '''''"LAAAAMBDAAAAAAA!!!"'''''
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: {{spoiler|The son he has with Cheria is basically Asbel's kid self except with Cheria's hair color.}}
** {{spoiler|It's revealed it's not their son...but rather, their great-great-grandson.}}
Line 56:
* [[Takahiro Sakurai]] (now also looks like [[Code Geass|a certain Imperial knight]])
* {{spoiler|[[Take a Third Option]]: How Asbel deals with Lambda without having Sophie sacrifice herself}}.
* [[Team Dad]]: Gets labeled the "Dad" of the team by Pascal. Begins to fit into the role due to character development. Also, as an adult, acts as a father figure to Sophie.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Played with. He got his level in [[Badass]] by training at the Knight Academy, but everyone around him says that he hasn't changed a bit (much to his chagrin). The game is about Asbel coming to terms with the fact that what makes you [[Badass]] is not how much ass you can kick, but what you ''do''. {{spoiler|This is what allows him to ultimately subdue Lambda where all other attempts failed: instead of using force to beat Lambda into submission, he allows Lambda to live through him and see that [[Humans Are Special]]}}.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Curry.
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: What happens in the first two or three hours of the game? Asbel manages to make two new friends (Sophie and prince Richard), and saves the prince's life when Bryce comes to assassinate him, also steps in and saves his escorts' lives. What happens? {{spoiler|His dad constantly yells at him. Sophie sacrifices herself to save everyone else, and his dad blames it ''on HIM''. He doesn't get to see Richard again because of his social status (Combined with the [[Fridge Horror]] since not a few hours before this event, Richard told him his father was ''poisoned'', not ill). His little brother is sent to live with another family, and then he runs away from home finally.}}
** He gets hit with this ''again'' soon after the seven-year [[Time Skip]].
* [[The White Prince]]: His childhood could be considered {{spoiler|a [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruction]] of this trope.}}
* [[The Wise Prince]]
Line 80:
* [[Badass]]: Ah, Sophie... so badass, yet so [[Badass Adorable|adorable]]...
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Combat Medic]]: Her healing spells are actually faster than Cheria's, although they only target one person at a time.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]}}: {{spoiler|It was her "death" that changed Asbel, Hubert, Cheria, and Richard's lives forever.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Rarely, but it shows up. Notably:
Line 91:
* [[Emotionless Girl]]
* {{spoiler|[[Energy Being]]}}
* [[Expy]]: With the pigtails, mysterious past, naive view of the world, flower motif, and being a [[Token Mini-Moe]], Sophie very closely resembles Primula from ''[[
* [[Extremity Extremist]]
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: They're also [[Rapunzel Hair|extremely long]].
Line 98:
* [[Identity Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|''Twice.''}}
* [[Kana Hanazawa]]
* [[Light'Em Up]]: Her attacks have a definite "light" theme.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Has the highest defense, high attack, and she's fast too!
** Kind of a justified case since {{spoiler|she's not entirely human}}.
* [[Literal
* {{spoiler|[[MacGuffin Girl]]}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: She's named after a flower. However, she ''isn't'' an [[Innocent Flower Girl]].
* [[Mega Manning]]: An inverted example in a sense, she adapts pieces of the other party members' movesets into her own.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
Line 109:
* [[No Social Skills]]
* [[Pettanko]]: Does she even have a chest at all?
** Does ''any'' [[Token Mini-Moe]]?
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: In one of her A-Artes
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
Line 118:
* {{spoiler|[[She's All Grown Up]]: In the main ending. She manages to age after all.}}
** {{spoiler|Though it's revealed she kept her eternal lifespan to watch over the world by the Little Queen's request. Her appearance was actually caused by the Little Queen fusing with her.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Street Fighter]]. Don't believe us? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCHxUggfD9E Take a look for yourself].
** As you can imagine, it didn't take the internet long to turn ''that'' into a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rITyblUAR_g meme].
** [[Tales of Eternia|Farah Oerstead]] Had the same pose for some of her skills. Sophie probably took from Farah, who herself took from [[Street Fighter]]. To add on to that, [[Tales of Innocence|Hermana]] also uses the pose when she uses Shishisenkou\Beast. It seems most if not all Tales fist users will use that pose.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Crab omelettes.
* [[Waif Fu]]
-----
Line 138:
** Actually, he has more [[Shock and Awe|lightning-based]] artes than ice ones, a trait he seems to share with his brother.
* [[Badass]]: With a weapon like his it's impossible to not view him as one.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: In some of the victory poses, especially when [[Literal
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Invoked and parodied, as he deliberately goes out of his way to invoke this, but for extremely nerdy reasons; namely replicating the superheroes he's a fan of.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice Kid]]
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: His performance as the evil queen in the play is hilarious but convincing.
* [[Double Weapon]] and [[Guns Akimbo]]: He uses a double-bladed sword that can turn into a pair of handguns. It also [[The Archer|turns into a bow]] [[So Cool Its Awesome|and shoots energy arrows]].
Line 147:
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Several of his artes have plenty of him spinning his double lance.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Has the highest attack power out of all playable characters, but his defense is rather low.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Hubert's second fighting style.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: [[You Should Know This Already]], but Hubert will kick your ass in Lhant no matter what you do.
* [[Jerkass]]: Kicked Asbel's ass out of Lhant (then took it for himself), exiles him then goes to disrespect their mother.
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Nevertheless, he cares a lot about Lhant and even disobeys orders in order to protect it.
Line 154:
* [[Likes Older Women]]: Borderline case. There's a bit of [[Ship Tease]] between him and [[Cloudcuckoolander|Pascal]], and she's five years older than him. Amped [[Up to Eleven]] in the Future Arc.
** {{spoiler|[[All Love Is Unrequited]]: When he tries to confess his feelings, Pascal reveals that she's [[Oblivious to Love]] and he slumps off in a defeated state.}}
* [[Magic Knight]]: A strange variation of. He uses his ''guns'' to "fire" his magic at targets. Yes, it's awesome.
* [[Megane]]
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Examined in-universe. Hubert is well-known among the Strahtan people and respected by most of its military, and has [[Took a Level In Badass|taken by far the biggest level in badass]] of the group. He also tries very, ''very'' hard to act like the single coolest person on the planet at all times. However, once he becomes playable, it turns out that his badassery is just how he likes to appear to others. Deep down, he's still the same compassionate and easily-spooked child he used to be... and a ''colossal'' geek.
Line 160:
* [[Nerd]]: He's a fan of Efinea's equivalent of the [[Power Rangers]] and as revealed in a skit, his fighting style was inspired by a comic book he read as a child.
** [[Nerds Are Sexy]]
* [[The Red Mage]]: Gains a healing and a status-curing spell along with his offensive ones.
* [[Second Place Is for Losers]]: After he {{spoiler|is adopted by the Oswell family, he refused to accept anything but first place in everything he did, both for his new family, as well as getting back at his former parents for abandoning him.}}
* [[Sixth Ranger]]
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]
** [[Not So Stoic]]: During his Blast Calibers.
* [[Takahiro Mizushima]]
* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: Apparently {{spoiler|he loses on purpose during his rematch with Asbel}}. [[Fridge Brilliance|That might explain why it's so much easier]].
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: He was quite cowardly as a child. {{spoiler|The incident with Lambda changed all that, though.}}
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: This as well. ''Big time''.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Rice Omelettes.
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]
* [[The Unfavorite]]: He believes he is this, since {{spoiler|his parents sent him away to Strata when he was just ten.}}
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: During his reintroduction post-time skip. He wants to protect his homeland {{spoiler|and boots Asbel out of it to do just that.}}
-----
Line 193:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]
* [[Combat Medic]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Just ''once'', and only briefly to note. (See [[Never Live It Down]].)
* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]
* [[Flechette Storm]]: Her Lv.3 Blast Caliber, with a helping of [[Time Stands Still]].
* [[Gag Boobs]]: [[Informed Ability|Apparently]]. Put her in her bathing suit outfit, and you'll realise that she's barely bigger than [[Token Mini-Moe|Sophie]].
* [[Gainaxing]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYnLixrcFwE\]
* [[Girly Run]]
* [[Healing Hands]]
* [[Holy Hand Grenade]] & [[Shock and Awe]]: Her offensive spells manifest as these two elements.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Has a congenital heart disease that leaves her with a weak constitution. She gets better due to the incident that also granted her healing powers.
* [[I Will Wait for You]]: [[Deconstructed]]. Those seven years of waiting have made her bitter and resentful towards Asbel since it took him so long to return. He didn't even write to her. Say what you want about his motives, that's [[Jerkass|dickish]]. Oh, and when he ''does'' return, he [[Oblivious to Love|doesn't even notice]] that she's in love with him.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: A mixture of this and [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] in the beginning.
* [[Knife Nut]]: She throws knives which she pulls out of a [[Hammerspace]].
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Usually plays one in skits.
Line 211:
* [[Shiho Kawaragi]]
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]
* [[Team Mom]]: Pascal even lampshades it in a scene.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Whether you like her or not, the fact that she goes from being an [[Ill Girl]] to a [[Tsundere]] with knives and lightning magic after being [[Touched by Vorlons]] is pretty damn awesome.
* [[Touched by Vorlons]]: How her powers manifested.
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: She only gained her healing spells after {{spoiler|Sophie placed part of herself inside Asbel, Hubert and herself. Now, what is Sophie's only kind of magic? Healing.}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Grilled Chicken.
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B, although she's a little heavier on the ''tsun'' than most of them during the beginning.
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: consider what she goes through in the Prologue. Her best friend, Asbel, constantly leaves her behind because she's sick. Even if he does so because he doesn't want to hurt her, she still feels left out. After finally getting to be friends with four other people, a monster attacks all five of them and Sophie sacrifices herself to save them all. She can't see Richard again because he's a prince, Hubert is sent away to live with another family, leaving her with only Asbel...who leaves her for ''seven years'' after he runs away from home. This leaves her the ''only'' member of their five-man band left home.
* {{spoiler|[[Victorious Childhood Friend]]}}
* [[White Magician Girl]]: A slight variation. Her [[Weapon of Choice|weapons of choice]] are knives, but her physical attacks are rather weak. She can use light-elemental magic and has plenty of area-of-effect healing spells.
Line 233:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Adult Child]]
* [[Always Someone Better]]: She's better at technology than her sister Fourier, much to the latter's chagrin.
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Of the "Ambiguously Autistic" variety. She's a genius with somewhat child-like social skills, often failing to read the mood of a situation. She often becomes obsessed with things and will pursue her new obsession to the detriment of everything else. Not to mention she's just plain bad at noticing subtleties like Hubert's crush on her. {{spoiler|The latter is eventually [[Played for Laughs]] in the updated rerelease.}}
* [[Boom Stick]]: Her [[Weapon of Choice]], which also doubles as a not-so-[[Simple Staff]].
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: She uses this whenever it comes to working machines.
* [[Cat Smile]]: Is prone on doing this from time to time.
Line 245:
* [[Hates Baths]]: Its not like she hates to bathe, its more that she gets so into her research that she keeps forgetting to take one.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: She carries a big frickin' hammer around for her work with machines. On top of that, one of her weapons is called "Giant Hammer."
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Specifically she gets [[Blow You Away|wind]], [[Making a Splash|water]] and [[Playing with Fire|fire]]. She also gains a [[Light'Em Up|light]] spell that [[Healing Hands|lets her heal allies]].
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Named after Blaise Pascal
* [[Genki Girl]]
Line 257:
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: She got [[Memetic Molester|uncomfortably close]] to Sophie in her introductory cutscene.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: She's ''totally'' oblivious to Hubert's crush on her {{spoiler|to the point that he ''flat-out tells her'' and she's still clueless.}}
* [[Older Than They Look]]: She is ''22'' years old... seriously? (This is a combination of how she acts as well as how she was designed - your guess is as good as anyone's.)
** She also acts much ''younger'' than she looks.
* [[Plot Device]]: Considering that Pascal is the only character with no connection to the Childhood prologue, her role is basically as a [[Plot Device]] to either [[Mr. Exposition|explain plot-relevant things]] or provide convenient solutions to problems. {{spoiler|Need the party to learn about ancient ruins? Pascal knows about them. Need to find a way to infiltrate a fortress? Pascal knows a path. Need to fix the Criath? Pascal can do that. Need the [[Global Airship]]? Pascal knows where to find it. And so forth}}.
* [[The Red Mage]]: A minor version, as she has a healing spell, but it also doubles as an attack spell.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Her "Dream Fandom" spell lets her summon ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|a robotic Sophie replica titled "Mecha Sophie" that combines]] [[Macross Missile Massacre]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|with]] [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]''.
** And in ''Tales of Graces f'', her "Dream Strike" Blast Caliber summons Mecha Asbel!
* [[Say It with Hearts]]: There are several that surround her during her introduction cutscene.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Science-Related Memetic Disorder]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Not that you would ever think it to look at her.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: An odd case; she can take more than a couple hits, usually having the best physical defense in the game. Likely because she has to get really close to her enemies in order to cast her spells, and plenty of her artes are ranged.
* [[Summon Magic]]: She uses [[Summon Magic]] as her [[Limit Break|Blast Calibers]] and for some of her artes.
* [[Techno Babble]]: Played with.
Line 291:
* [[Blatant Lies]]: 90% of what he tells Sophie as "facts" about the world. Mainly just to see the party's reaction when she repeats said facts.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: It's a given '''even''' in-universe.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: He is 40, [[Older Than They Look|believe it or not.]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Duel Boss]]: Optional, if you view a certain skit, between him and Asbel. Malik does it to see if Asbel is truly prepared to back up his talk about "protecting everyone." And indeed, if you lose, he gives Asbel a rather harsh [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
Line 297:
* [[Expy]]: This troper's first reaction to seeing Malik was "Man, he looks like [[Tales of the Abyss|Van]]. It's gotta be the goatee."
** [[Shout-Out|His Accel Mode is a series of kicks that seem]] [[Street Fighter|vaguely familiar...]]
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: Well, what do you expect from a gruff old knight?
* [[Hiroki Tochi]]: His Japanese voice. And with [[Jamieson Price]] for English voice, he's got both voices of [[.hack GU|Ovan]].
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: [[Brick Joke|When Sophie called him out for his last usage of Eternal Serenade]], he's quick to retort that the one he won't use again is "Eternal Seren'''y'''ade"
Line 303:
** Said beam comes out of ''[[Improbable Weapon User|his back]]''.
* [[The Lancer]]: Tends to be the experienced and pragmatic voice to Asbel's idealism.
* [[Magic Knight]]: In that he is a mage who can defend himself with weapons rather than a weapon-fighter with magic.
* [[Name's the Same]]: "I told you, I'm not [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Malik]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Blishtar]]!"
* [[Older Than They Look]]
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Most of his Blast Calibers incorporate this.
* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]: He uses a [[Rule of Cool|boomerang sword]] in battle.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: Pretty much his defining character trait.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Literally.
** He has also gotten a very... [http://www.4gamer.net/games/088/G008879/20100326013/ special DLC costume.]
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: For Asbel/Cheria and Hubert/Pascal. Richard joins him in this for maximum hilarity.
Line 330:
* [[The Atoner]]: In the f scenario, Richard feels he owes a debt to the world for the {{spoiler|things he did while possessed by Lambda}}
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Just look at his hand gestures.
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with his ''Tales of Graces f'' costume. It could only be more fruity if it was florescent pink.
* [[Badass]]: Watch any of his anime cutscenes. The proof is in the pudding.
* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|He is killed by a random [[Mook]] quite early on. Fortunately for Richard, Lambda's power kicks in and revives him. ''Un''fortunately for Richard, this allows Lambda to get a foothold in his psyche.}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|When someone betrays his trust. Thanks to Lambda's influence, his interpretation of a "betrayal" becomes incredibly loose}}.
* [[Blow You Away]]: Until the rerelease, which focuses him more on [[Playing with Fire]], most of his physical artes had a wind theme.
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Despite being an otherwise levelheaded person, he also moonlights as the [[Paper-Thin Disguise|Masque of Barona]].
* [[Daisuke Namikawa]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|Though it isn't particularly good either...}}
** We can now add [[Playing with Fire]], [[Shock and Awe]] and [[Holy Hand Grenade]] to that list now that he's gained more artes in the rerelease.
* {{spoiler|[[Deal with the Devil]]: He made a deal with Lambda as a child, allowing it to reside within his body. Richard survives the lethal dose of poison given to him by Celric, and Lambda survives the lethal wounds inflicted by Sophie}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]}}: {{spoiler|The infamous "TOMODACHI HUARGGGGGGGG" scene, where Richard believes that he has been abandoned to die by his friends. This, coupled with Lambda's possession, completes his [[Face Heel Turn]]}}.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: {{spoiler|Lambda's influence causes him to violently lash out at everything and everyone who slights him. It gets worse when Asbel tries to bring him back to his senses, as Richard interprets that as an act of betrayal from his first true friend}}.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: So damn much...
* [[Expy]]: [[Tales of Eternia|Rassis 'Ras' Fomalhaut]] Nobody noticed this?
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* {{spoiler|[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: When he's ''posessed'' by Lambda.}}
Line 357:
* [[Magic Knight]]
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: One red eye, one yellow eye. {{spoiler|The red one is caused by Lambda's possession, and returns to normal after Lambda leaves his body}}.
* {{spoiler|[[More Than Mind Control]]: He calls himself Lambda's "servant" even in one scene when he's not under his control. Says it all, really.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]: During the prologue.
* [[Not So Different]]: {{spoiler|His [[Break the Cutie|similarities]] to Lambda are what eventually allows Lambda to take control of his body.}}
Line 363:
* [[Royal Rapier]]: He's a prince {{spoiler|who becomes king later on after killing his uncle}} and uses rapiers in battle.
* {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger]]: Come ''f'', he'll become a permanent ally once Lambda is released from him.}}
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Along with Malik, he is this for Asbel/Cheria, and also teases Hubert about Pascal.
* [[Something About a Rose]]: His Blast Calibers.
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]
** {{spoiler|And then there's his "Lambda Form", where he loses all his clothes, gets weird spikey wings, has black markings all over his body and has crystals inserted into different parts of his body. Hey, it's bound to be [[Fetish Fuel]] for [[Rule 34|somebody]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Lambda acts like this at first. Then [[It Got Worse]].}}
* [[Technical Pacifist]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Between his childhood and adulthood, like everybody else. Lampshaded by Cedric just before the fight with him. {{spoiler|Turns out that's because Lambda's in control.}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Natto, much to everyone else's dismay.
-----
Line 400:
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Apparently crossed this when Cornell died.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Energy Being]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]]: Becomes a [[Climax Boss]] in Tales of Graces F}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: In the Lineage and Legacies plotline in Tales of Graces f.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Kill'Em All]] / [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: His original goal was to exact revenge on humanity; seeing them as an [[
* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Talking the Monster to Death]]: This is how Asbel finally manages to get through to Lambda and stop his reign of destruction}}.
Line 414:
[[File:Emeraude_9490.jpg|frame]]
A young researcher who the party find sleeping in a pod {{spoiler|on the planet of Fodra}}. Emeraude is highly knowledgeable about Lambda, Sophie and [[Mr. Exposition|most of the backstory]].
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
Line 424:
* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms Exposition]]
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Not the most emotional of party members while she travels with you.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
Line 454:
* {{spoiler|[[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: His Cedric 2.0 ver-ver-ver-ver-version is pretty flawed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed and random.}}
* [[Always Second Best]]: The reason why he murders his brother for the throne.
* [[BFS]]
* [[Cain and Abel]]
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]
* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]}}
* [[The Evil Prince]]
* [[Evil Uncle]]
* [[Hellish Pupils]]: Just look at the closeup after he loses!
* [[It's All About Me]]: "The throne of Windol is mine!" "The only one worthy of the throne is me!" "The kingdom is rightfully mine!" ... So, yeah.
* [[Large Ham|Moderate Ham]]: He [[Chewing the Scenery|chews the scenery]] a couple of times, but doesn't really go overboard. Shame.
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: Celric's first assassination attempt involved the use of a strong poison. {{spoiler|This would have succeeded if not for Richard's [[Deal with the Devil]]}}.
* [[Obviously Evil]]; It really couldn't be any more obvious if he huffed kittens before fighting you.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Sure, killing him was another sign {{spoiler|of Lambda taking further control}}, but there's no doubt the asshole after all he's done deserved what was coming to him.
* [[Playing with Fire]] & [[Shock and Awe]]: Par for the course in this game, really.
