[[File:Senel185 6582.jpg|frame]]
A former Alliance Marine and adopted brother to Shirley. [[Knight Templar Big Brother|He is hell-bent on protecting her from anything and everything]]. At first he is only concerned with matters that directly affect either himself or Shirley, but slowly begins to open up as he becomes friends with the inhabitants of the ''Legacy''. He uses his fists in battle, the first [[Tales (series)]] main character to not [[Heroes Prefer Swords|use swords]], and uses some traditional [[Tales (series)]] [[The Hero|hero artes]] mixed with his own.
----
Line 61:
* [[Is That Cute Kid Yours]]: In Will's quest; see Senel's profile for details.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Shirley loves Senel, but Senel loves her older sister Stella... Shirley puts up with it for a long time because she wants Senel to be happy, but eventually [[Brainwashed and Crazy|she]] [[Yandere|loses it...]] Later in the character quests, {{spoiler|she's on the verge of stepping aside ''again''--for Chloe this time--despite being engaged to Senel. At least before she and Chloe air out their feelings and Chloe admits that she's never going to get anywhere with him and knows it.}}
* [[The Load]]: During the first act of the game, she alternates between being a [[Damsel in Distress]] and [[The Load]]. This is actually a source of angst for her. She is supposed to be the savior of her entire race, but instead she [[Damsel in Distress|is only a burden for everyone]], can't even save {{spoiler|Fenimore}}, and {{spoiler|her sister dies stopping the cannon}}, which Shirley could have prevented if she still had her powers. [[Took a Level
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Senel and Stella tried to keep {{spoiler|Senel's past as a child soldier}} from her. When she learns the truth, she's ''much'' more upset about not being trusted and included than she is about what she's being told.
* [[Love Martyr]]
Line 74:
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Ferines can produce a "teriques", that typically manifests as a pair of wings, either back-mounted or free and butterfly sized. After Shirley unlocks her Merines powers, her teriques becomes permanently active, as back-mounted wings.
* [[Yandere]]: Played with. {{spoiler|Her Merines powers are activated because of Fenimore's death, but she doesn't give in to Nerifes completely until she gets hit in the face with the degree to which Senel and Stella kept her in the dark, reminding her of how badly Senel has always rejected her.}}
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Her in-game mugshot does ''not'' look fifteen. Her battle model, now that's a different story.
----
Line 87:
* [[The Atoner]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Well, Norma thinks he's old.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]
* [[Dull Surprise]]: He can be guilty of this sometimes.
* [[Kuudere]]
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: He's a mage type character and very weak physically, despite what his apprentice would imply.
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: [[Susumu Chiba]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's actually 28.
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]
Line 102:
[[File:Chloe185 3991.jpg|frame]]
A knight from Gadoria who joins the party. She came to the Legacy to find a swordsman with with a snake tattoo on his arm {{spoiler|in order to kill him to avenge the death of her parents and regain the honor of the Valens family name}}. She fights using a sword, and plays a little more like the classic [[Tales (series)]] [[The Hero|Hero]], even using many of their artes combined with some of her own.
----
Line 111:
** [[Badass Cape]]
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Her romantic feelings for Senel.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Just listen to half of the English VA's lines and try to deny she's guilty of this. She also varies between this and [[Large Ham]] in combat.
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: {{spoiler|For stabbing Senel when he stops her from committing ''murder''.}}
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]
* [[Important Haircut]]: Before she started her quest for revenge.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Well, a sword isn't all that improbable, but a few of her artes involve her using her sword as a pole-vault.
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: She acts this way at first, but quickly learns better.
Line 121:
* [[Nice Hat]]
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption in the Rain]]: The end of her character quest.}}
* [[Revenge Before Reason]] & [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: At first.
* [[Sensual Spandex]]
* {{spoiler|[[Ship Sinking]]}}: After her character quest, though she still has feelings for him.
Line 135:
[[File:Norma185 6834.jpg|frame]]
An eccentric archeologist/treasure hunter who came to the Legacy to find the a mythical stone called Everlight that can supposedly grant any wish. She uses [[Squishy Wizard|Crystal Eres]], and knows more than anybody else about various locations around the Legacy. She wields a [[Improbable Weapon User|straw, and attacks by blowing bubbles out of it]].
----
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Early on, less so once Moses shows up to take the role.
* [[The Chick]]: Most of her titles have the word "Chick" in them.
* [[Cleavage Window]]
Line 166:
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|The Bandits Who Don't Do Anything]]: His bandits don't really do much thieving.
* [[Blade on a Stick]]
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Never seems to run out of spears no matter how many times he throws this. Norma lampshades this in a skit where she mentions she'll catch the spear next time he throws it.
* [[A Boy and His X]]: His character quest.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Lampshaded with one of his titles, "Insult to Injury".
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]
* [[Eye Scream]]: As a child, {{spoiler|which is how he tamed Giet}}.
* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: Giet, a Grand Galf (an extremely powerful monster), is his pet.
Line 175:
* [[Leitmotif]]: "A Cheerful Bandit"
* [[Likes Older Women]]: He admits he likes Grune, specifically because she is mature and therefore, er, more developed.
* [[Manly Tears]]: At the end of his character quest.
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: [[Kazuya Nakai]]
* [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: Just what are those pant-like things with the zebra pattern? They look like they're about to fall off all the time!
Line 187:
[[File:Jay185 6781.jpg|frame]]
A reclusive information broker. He is a young ninja who lives with the Oresoren, a tribe of anthropomorphic otters. He's a snide and snarky Iron Eren who fights using knives, combined with kicks and headbutts.
----
Line 198:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Is he ever...
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: In his character quest, though understandably so.
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: All too obviously. Shown in both game scenes and victory poses, especially with Moses.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: Come on, he wears ''purple''.
Line 209:
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Also younger than they ''sound'', too - in the English version? He does ''not'' sound sixteen.
** {{spoiler|This is actually a set of [[Fridge Brilliance]] - he was raised to be emotionless. While his Japanese version went for the [[Creepy Child]] route, the English version went for the "grown-up-fast" type.}}
----
Line 225:
* [[Black Magician Girl]]: The only playable Crystal Eren who learns no healing or support spells.
* {{spoiler|[[But Now I Must Go]]}}
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: If you look, you first see her in a crowd in Werites Beacon within the first couple hours of gameplay.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Pretty much anything that comes out of her mouth perfectly exemplifies this trope.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
Line 233:
* {{spoiler|[[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: The game treats the player to an elaborate cutscene of her gaining more power when she gets her memories back, but this causes no change in her gameplay wise. All it really does is change her voice. }}
* [[Girl in a Box]]: When you first meet her, she's taking a nap in an '' {{spoiler|open coffin. In the deepest spot in a tomb}}''.
** Unless that is you remember her being in Werites Beacon.
* {{spoiler|[[God Is Good]]: And helps you directly!}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Goddess]]}}
Line 239:
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]
* [[Love You and Everybody]]
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Both Senel and Moses have had Grune lovingly smother them in her bosom. [[All Men Are Perverts|Lucky bastards]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: [[Ayako Kawasumi]], [[Lara Jill Miller]]. Both her voice actors do a ''VERY'' good job with her.
* [[Onee-Sama]]
* [[One Head Taller]]
Line 247:
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Dear GOD, is she ever!
* [[Stripperiffic]]: The description of her default armor, "Cocktail Dress," reads as follows: "A revealing dress that leaves little to the imagination."
* [[Took a Level
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]]: Somewhat, as most of her spells are curse and sea elemental. {{spoiler|Makes sense, since she's a goddess.}}
Line 261:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Isabella.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Early in the game, they sing twice about how fighting is not allowed in Werites Beacon. Much ''much'' later in the game...they show up and arrest someone else for attempting to arrest Chloe and Senel in Werites Beacon.
** Hilariously, Curtis does so by appearing and doing his usual singing gig without Isabella. {{spoiler|And then '''[[Talk to the Fist|decks the confused man in the face]]''' mid-sentence, triggering a cartoony curbstomp.}}
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: The two look like something that came out of [[The Seventies]]. Senel beats the living crap out of them (off-screen) and doesn't take them seriously. Then they lead an army against Vaclav's. Nobody was laughing at them ''then''.
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: Though you never actually fight them...at least you aren't ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2_SEh7eDao required]'' to.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Iron Hammer Time." The musical accompaniment seems to actually be in the scene.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: They're wacky pacifists who sing about how violence isn't allowed in the city. Then, when the war starts, they take up the reins and lead the citizens of the Legacy into battle against Vaclav's forces.
Line 285:
* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Mentor]]}}: To {{spoiler|Senel}}
* [[The Evil Prince]]: [[Captain Obvious|Well, duh]].
* [[Large and In Charge]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "March"
* [[A Nazi by Any Other Name]]

* [[The Baroness]]
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Obviously Evil]]: [[Atop the Fourth Wall|"She's red! She has horns!"]]
* [[Playing with Fire]]
* [[Red Baron]]: "The Crimson"
Line 320:
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: {{spoiler|He could've helped his daughter without joining Vaclav's army or killing Chloe's parents for money. Don't doctors have a good income?}}
** {{spoiler|It wasn't just about the income. He needed Vaclav's ''knowledge'' as well.}}
** {{spoiler|That and he's an apothecary, not a doctor.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Easily Forgiven]]: Despite his noble end goal, he ''did'' kinda murder Chloe's parents.}}
** {{spoiler|Averted. Remember Chloe's [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]}}
*** {{spoiler|Not to mention the fact that [[Redemption Equals Death|he was willing to die to atone for his crimes]].}}
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: ''ESPECIALLY'' in the Japanese version!
* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[I Did What I Had to Do]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: Not killing him was the right move but he doesn't even get sent to prison for all the people he's killed?}}
Line 333:
* [[Red Baron]]: "The Vicious"
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: He was willing to die to make up for killing Chloe's parents after his daughter was cured.}}
* [[That One Boss]]: Considered to be harder than the other terrors and Vaclav since he has an instant death attack.
* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]}}
Line 365:
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: [[Face Heel Turn|But not for long...]]}}
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: {{spoiler|3}} of them.
* [[Jerkass]]: He trumps Senel on this department.
* [[Leitmotif]]: Appropriately titled "Delques Black Wings."
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His last name means black wings in [[Fictionary|Relares]]
* [[Never My Fault]]: His {{spoiler|dying words are blaming Senel for all that has happened to him; he honestly never once considered that maybe he brought a lot of his problems on himself.}}
* [[The Rival]]
* {{spoiler|[[You Can Barely Stand]]}}: {{spoiler|His insistence on fighting the party despite being heavily wounded gets him killed.}}
----
Line 381:
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: At the end of the main story mode.
{{quote|'''Maurits''': {{spoiler|Grant me your POWER! THE POWER TO TRANSCEND!!!}}}}
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: {{spoiler|1=/ [[Evil Old Folks]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Easily Forgiven]]: [[Karma Houdini|So easily it hurts]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}}
Line 391:
* {{spoiler|[[No One Could Survive That]]}}: {{spoiler|After being defeated, he absorbs Nerifes' power and fights the party again. After being defeated again, he draws so much power from Nerifes that he collapses. He later uses his body to channel Nerifes, a process which was supposed to destroy his mind. This appears to have had no ill effects on him judging from his role in the character quests.}}
* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}: {{spoiler|He uses his body to channel Nerifes.}}
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: {{spoiler|Even in the character quests, too.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Treacherous Advisor]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He wants to revert the world to what it once was (an endless ocean) so his people can prosper, even if it means killing all the Orerienes.}}
Line 431:
* {{spoiler|[[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]}}: She takes the form of {{spoiler|Senel's fears and doubts}} towards the end of the main quest. This is not symbolic ''at all,'' we assure you.
* [[The Gwen Stacy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: And in a further subversion of the [[Purity Sue]] trope, it actually [[It Got Worse|makes things worse]]''.
* {{spoiler|[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Even if she is a good character, when you look past Senel's [[Unreliable Narrator|unreliable narration]], you'll probably find yourself thinking "[[Jerkass|What a jerk]]!" from time to time.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Like all the Ferines. "Telmes" means "guiding star", which is appropriate if rather redundant.
* [[Stellar Name]]
Line 446:
* [[Evil Counterpart|Angry Counterpart]]: To the {{spoiler|Nerifes of the Quiet Lands.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Of the main story.}}
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]
* {{spoiler|[[Defeat Means Friendship]]}}: {{spoiler|Losing in combat calms its rage.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]}}: To {{spoiler|the Merines.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Making a Splash]]}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Loosely, "the mind of the sea."
Line 471:
* {{spoiler|[[As Long as There Is Evil|As Long As There Is Despair]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Of the Character Quests.}}
* [[Blade on a Stick]]
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Dramatic Unmask]]: {{spoiler|In the ending, it is revealed that she is Grune's [[Evil Twin]], though even before then one can notice a resemblance.}}
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Matriarch]]}}: Some of her lines while you fight her 'definitely'' indicate this!
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Twin]]}}: To {{spoiler|Grune}}.
* {{spoiler|[[God Is Evil]]: A subversion. She's not "God" per se, but rather all of Grune's negative emotions.}}
Line 486:
{{reflist}}
