The son of the legendary General Gunther, Welkin just wanted to live a quiet life as a teacher. This plan gets sidetracked when The Imperials invade his hometown of Bruhl. Welkin quickly adapts and joins the Squad 7 militia as its leader. Using his scientific knowledge, he quickly becomes a strategist rivaling his father and organizes Squad 7 into the Imperials' greatest threat. In combat, Welkin generally doesn't fight directly, and instead gives orders to the squad from his father's tank, the ''Edelweiss''.
* [[The Ace]]: Played with/subverted. While Welkin is a tactical genius and incredible battlefield leader, he's not the best at actual soldiering. When on missions outside the Edelweiss, he's average at best when compared to other Scouts.
* [[Ancestral Weapon]]: The ''Edelweiss''.
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: His knowledge of animals and nature in general has often been useful for creating impressive strategies.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: His reaction when he found out that {{spoiler|Faldio was the one who sniped Alicia}}? Oooh, boy...
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''Squad 7, move out!''
Line 24:
* [[The Hero]]
* [[In the Blood]]: He doesn't want to be, but he's adaptable.
* [[Nature Hero]]: Odd variation. He's a nature otaku, and every military strategy he uses is related to or inspired by nature in some way. Also, he's shown to be happiest when he be in a completely natural environment, just studying the wildlife.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Many so-called heroes would have much to learn from Welkin.
* [[The Power of Love]]: One of Welkin's hidden Potentials is even called this: all his stats are raised when Alicia is in battle with him. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|D'AWWE!!! :'D]]
* [[The Strategist]]: The most powerful weapon in the entire Gallian army is Lieutenant Gunther's ''brain''.
* [[Tank Goodness]]
Line 34:

Born and [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bread]] as a baker, Alicia was reluctant to go to war, but joined the militia to protect her hometown of Bruhl. After being rescued by Welkin, she joins Squad 7 as his second-in-command and love interest. {{spoiler|She eventually learns that she is a descendant of the Valkyrur, and her inheritance of their powers make her one of Gallia's biggest assets. She doesn't take it too well, but she got over it with some help from Welkin.}}
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 47:
* {{spoiler|[[Person of Mass Destruction]]}}
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Waif Fu]]
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade A. (Grade S in the anime and manga, where she is more [[Tsundere]].)
Line 96:
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]}}
* [[Wrench Wench]]: [[Trope Pantheons/Travel|Well, yeah.]]
'''Zaka'''
Line 151:
* [[The Determinator]]
* [[Happily Married]]: To an unnamed wife.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Oddly for his class. It's even one of his potentials!
* [[True Companions]]: With the squad's other Darcsens.
Line 231:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: His hair is black in the anime, and the lens of his goggle eyepatch is tinted grayish green as apposed to its usual pinkish red.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: From ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'', along with Aika and the Medic.
* [[The Determinator]]: "WHOOEE! OUR HERO'S IN TROUBLE NOW! HA HAAA!!"
Line 320:
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]
* [[Mad Eye]]: In the animation when her "Sadist" potential triggers.
* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: She must've really liked that flower shop of hers....
* [[Power Trio]]: With Hannes and Oscar.
Line 364:
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: [Activating 'Stand Ready'] "Getting hurt [[Captain Obvious|hurts!]]"
* [[Face of a Thug]]: Apparently prevents his restaurant from being as successful as he'd hoped.
* [[Finagle's Law]]: Seems to be a believer in this, seeing as he says "It'll probably miss" whenever he fires. Considering his class, he's usually right.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Walter looks intimidating on the battlefield, but when he's off-duty, he enjoys simpler hobbies, such as baking bread.
Line 385:
* [[Gentle Giant]]
* [[Heroic Resolve]]: "Heh, numbers? We've got guts on our side!"
** In his backstory, he also routed an unit of Imperials with only a handful of soldiers despite being outgunned and outnumbered.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Appears to be considered one in-universe. He starts a successful shipping business after the war, but doesn't seem to realize exactly [[Estrogen Brigade|why it's so popular...]]
Line 413:
* [[Berserk Button]]: "First one to call me a hick gets it!"
* [[Card-Carrying Villain|Card Carrying Jerkass]] Just look at the rest of the tropes associated with him.
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: When calling for a medic: "Even I'd rather not have a treammate die on me!"
* [[Fantastic Racism]]
* [[Glory Hound]]: (when selected): "Save me some glory!"
Line 546:
Squad 7's dedicated medical specialist. The Medic will valiantly run to the battlefield to evacuate any of your members who has been taken down.
* [[Canon Foreigner]] / [[Expy]]: Looks very much like Fina from ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'', which was produced by the same team. Given that Vyse and Aika show up in the game as well, this is obviously intentional.
* {{spoiler|[[Twin Switch|Triplet Switch]]: The "Medic" is actually a trio of identical triplet sisters named [[Theme Naming|Fina, Hina and Mina]].}}
Line 567:
* [[No Name Given]]
* [[Stealth Mentor]]
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: {{spoiler|You never find out exactly who he is, only that he fought alongside Welkin's father in the first war.}}
'''Eleanor Varrot'''
Line 578:
* [[The Good Captain]]
* {{spoiler|[[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: Takes this attitude towards Geld after encouragement from Largo. Well actually, it's more like If You Kill Him You Will Be Betraying Your Dead Lover's Ideals.}}
* [[Not So Stoic]]: In the side chapter dealing with Giorgios Geld.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Revenge]]: The reason she stayed in the army after the First European War.
Line 596:
* {{spoiler|[[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Considered shooting Alicia necessary to save Gallia, though later comes to regret that decision.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Sacrifices himself while killing Maximillian in penance for wounding Alicia.}}
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Oddly, despite the fact Faldio hits on Alicia several times in the anime, he also seems to be working his ass off to convince Welkin to hook up with her, though, as a flashback reveals, he was there when Welkin could have married one of the most sought after women and college and let her get away, so it's fair to say most of his attraction, while possibly genuine, is also probably an attempt to get a rise out of Welkin (thus revealing Welkin has a sex drive) and get him to realize there's an attractive young lady and he would make a cute couple with her. In fact, he more or less practically screams that in Welkin's face in Episode 11.
'''Ms. Ellet'''
Line 612:
======= Voiced by [[Kozo Shioya]] in Japanese and [[John Dimaggio]] in English. =======
A Gallian aristocrat and overall commander of the Gallian military. He was recommended to the post by the Gallian prime minister Borg, in spite of being completely unsuitable for the job.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
Line 622:
* [[General Ripper]]
* [[Glory Hound]]: Gets pissed Welkin starts getting more than he does in the anime, to the point he initiates a few [[Uriah Gambit|UriahGambits]] to get rid of him.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: In the anime version, he throws a tantrum after seeing Isara's Darcsen-print poncho draped over the Edelweiss. {{spoiler|She died in the previous episode}}
** He's also pretty abusive to {{spoiler|Selvaria after you defeat her.}}
Line 643:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: Has a collection numbering in the hundreds, if not the thousands.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Blonde hair and a white [[Ermine Cape Effect|Ermine Cape]] with gold embroidery do nothing to disguise his ruthlessness.
* [[Man in White]]: His [[Ermine Cape Effect|Ermine Cape]].
* [[Missing Mom]]: His [[Freudian Excuse]].
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|He gains Valkyria-like powers in the final battle, thanks to a mighty device created by his engineers.}}
Line 650:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: His mother was killed by jealous conspirators.
* [[Royal We]]
* [[Visual Pun]]: The armor he wears can be associated with the "Maximilian" style of armor.
==== Selvaria Bles ====
Line 656:
======= Voiced by Sayaka Ohara in Japanese and [[April Stewart]] in English. =======
General of the Empire's Central Forces, the blood of the Valkyrur runs in Selvaria's veins. Their blood gives her incredible powers, making her the deadliest soldier in the Empire's employ. Selvaria is very much devoted to her cause, and would give up her life for Maximillian. Even so, she is not without honor, and is genuinely concerned with the welfare of her soldiers. {{spoiler|When Maximillian decides that she is no longer an asset, Selvaria sacrifices herself to destroy Gallia's main army.}}
* [[Anti-Villain]]
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: For Johann's [[Accidental Pervert]] moment in her DLC.
* [[Badass]]
* [[BFG]]
Line 677:
* [[One-Man Army|One Woman Army]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Her strict but caring attitude towards her soldiers.
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: In a way.}}
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
Line 686:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, Silver and Bishoujo]]
* [[Tyke Bomb]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Her and Jaeger in the anime. Granted, she's icy and he acts like a playboy, but he tries to be a nice guy when Maximillian is an asshole and professionally they do work well together.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]
* {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me...]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]}}
Line 704:
* [[Heel Realization]]: After being defeated by Squad 7.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Despite being on the villain team.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Don't let his affable ladies man attitude fool you. He's very sharp, and in the anime he pretty much figures out {{spoiler|someone was trying to kill Maximillian in Episode 9}} on his own.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Especially in the anime version, where he's basically like the aforementioned Kyoraku, except on the villain team.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Does to the Maximillian in the anime after {{spoiler|he realizes his boss is a coldblooded asshole and he's one by proxy for helping him.}}
Line 722:
* [[Sergeant Rock|General Rock]]: While Gregor does have a personality fit for [[The Neidermeyer]], he actually has read a book or two on military tactics and actually proves a legitimate threat to the Gallian forces, because, despite the fact he's a [[Jerkass]] to his troops (especially in the anime), he's a competent, effective [[Jerkass]].
* [[Mechanical Horse]]: In a manner of speaking. He is an avid equestrian, and he goes to battle aboard a custom armored train car he has named "Equus".
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Has an obsession with destroying the Edelweiss in the anime.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* {{spoiler|[[This Cannot Be!]]: He utters something along these lines when the bridge is dropped from under his invincible armored train.}}
Line 735:
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Was clearly TRYING to pull this, but no-one was fooled.
* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: Let's just say his [[Dirty Coward]] tendencies backfire HARD.}}
* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: Is all too willing to do this [[Stealth
{{reflist}}
