Line 186:
*[[Not So Similar]]: That said, his lingering feelings of weakness from the beginning of his life make him fundamentally a totally different person from Rance. Rance rebuffs the above statement by telling him that he'd never give up and allow himself to be killed no matter the circumstances.
*[[Odd Friendship]]: Actually considers Alefgard to be his friend, and enjoys having tea with him. He also takes a surprising shine to Shariela during the climax of ''Rance X''.
* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: His cowardice causes him to refuse to ever take the field unless his victory is absolutely guaranteed, resulting in him sitting out for the majority of both the factional war in the Monster Realm and the Human Realm invasion in ''Rance X''.
*[[Paper Tiger]]: Downplayed. While he genuinely is as powerful as he's made out to be, his cowardly refusal to participate in any kind of battle that may endanger his life has given him a shockingly low threshold for pain, to the point where he starts panicking after sustaining any kind of significant damage. He gets over it during the "From the Sea" and "From the Sky" routes of ''Rance X'', where he gains the courage to fight all out until his last breath.
* <!-- The Paranoiac: Kayblis is extremely paranoid, and goes out of his way to keep all moderately powerful monsters close to him in order to be able to monitor their actions at all times and make sure they never attempt to betray him. He also plans on killing every single Fiend and strong monster the instant that he becomes Archfiend so that he never has to worry about anyone usurping him. -->
Line 245:
*[[Gender Bender]]: Was originally a female before becoming a Fiend. If Rance manages to defeat him at night, which is very difficult to do on first playthroughs, he resurrects as a woman and joins the Human Alliance, in exchange for the protection of his maids.
*[[Haunted Castle]]: Subverted. His castle looks like one, but is actually a good place to live.
*[[High-Class Glass]]:
*[[Honor Before Reason]]: If you take the refugee route in Helman 2, he will accept to shelter more than 2000 women despite knowing some of them are spies, because most of them have been genuinely abused.
*[[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Inverted. Upon joining humanity in ''Rance X'' if she's resurrected, she proceeds to ask several women their opinions about Rance. She receives a wide range of responses, from hatred to admiration or even love. From these results, she correctly guesses that Rance, while not a good person by any means, is not actually malicious but an extremely carefree person suffering from [[Ambiguous Innocence]]. She decribes him as the greatest opportunist of humanity, blindly following his desire while ruining or saving people's lives on the way.
*[[Humans Are Bastards]]: As a Kalar, he knew the harsh living conditions of his tribe, and his later life as a Fiend didn't do him any better, since he saved so many women of robbers and/or rapists. As a result, he refused to join the Hornet Faction, whose stance is pro-human despite having more in common with her than with Kayblis.
** If she's resurrected by Rance, she joins him and gives another chance to humanity after seeing what it managed to accomplish under the banner of the Human Alliance.
Line 338:
=== Satella ===
One of the youngest Fiends, along with Hornet, born 150 years before the beginning of the series, she was a young human female chosen by the Archfiend Gai to be the playmate and friend of his daughter Hornet. She was then changed into a Fiend along with Hornet, and during the Little Princess Era, she joined the Hornet Faction during the civil war between the Fiends. She first appeared in ''Rance III / 03'' along with fellow Fiends
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Satella include:}}
Line 344:
*[[Adaptational Heroism]]: By comparing ''[[Kichikuou Rance]]'' and ''Rance X'', which both details the events of the Second Fiend War, Satella got much nicer than her former counterpart, notably being an genuine ally of the Human Alliance and much more friendly with humanity overall.
*[[The Alleged Boss]]: Becomes one by ''Rance X'' by making Rance promise to be her Apostle after the war in order to cope for Isis' death years ago. Naturally, she starts boasting about how she made the leader of humanity into her personal servant, even though no one is fooled.
*[[Anti-Villain]]: In ''Rance 03'', Satella and
*[[Anti-Hero]]: ''[[Rance Quest]]'' cements her as this after travelling with Miki, and after acknowledging her love of Rance who helped her on a quest.
*[[Betty and Veronica]]: The Veronica to Sill's Betty. While Sill is a gentle, sweet girl openly in love with Rance, Satella is a Fiend, more hot-tempered and a Tsundere who doesn't admit being in love with Rance until ''Rance Quest''. Furthermore, she's also a potential Love Interest in two contrasting games along with Sill:
** In ''[[Kichikuou Rance]]'', if Sill is dead, she confesses her love for Rance and her wish to have him as her Archfiend, perfectly willing to kill Miki in cold blood.
** In ''Rance X'', she befriends Sill, and while she still acts cocky, she's actively fighting alongside humanity thanks to Miki's kindness.
*[[Character Development]]: Satella went from a ruthless Fiend who joined Hornet only out of friendship for her and treating humans like dirt in ''Rance III / Rance 03'', to a surpringly (unassuming) friendly person and ally for humanity in ''Rance Quest'' and ''Rance X'', where she acts as the Ms. Exposition in the Second Fiend War.
*[[Childhood Friends]]:
* <!-- Chuunibyou: She tries her best to be taken seriously, by acting arrogant and smug, even when talking to her friends, but no one takes her seriously. -->
*[[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Has Lia and Noah tortured and raped in ''Rance 03'' to get information about the sword Chaos.
Line 359:
*[[Dope Slap]]: El can do this to her after the Blood Memories absorb all the demon blood from the fiends. She actually felt that, which the rest of the fiends found out that their Invicibility Field is gone.
*[[Fiery Redhead]]: Red-headed and short-tempered.
*[[Good Is Not Soft]]: Despite working for the Hornet Faction, she thought of humans as lower creatures, and only joined it out of friendship for Hornet. In ''Rance 03'', she is quite cruel to other humans unrelated to her, as she was raised in a environment without any humans around. She was seen burning down villages and resorts to kidnapping and torture to achieve her goals, even though she doesn't like it. By ''[[Rance Quest]]'' however, it's toned down and she turns out to be quite decent with other humans.
*[[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: She's easily prone to anger, made worse if Rance is around.
*[[Inelegant Blubbering]]: Seeing Sill alive again reduces her to tears and can't say a proper sentence on how glad she sees Sill again.
Line 374:
* <!-- The Unapologetic: Subverted in Rance X. She meets back with Noah Hakobune several years after her incident, and remembers everything she did to her. The subvertion part comes when she actually tries to make excuses for her misdeeds despite her personality, only for Noah suddenly asking her to lend her Isis for another ride. -->
*[[Undying Loyalty]]: To Rance after he becomes an Archfiend.
*[[Unwitting Pawn]]: She and
*[[Weak but Skilled]]: She's one of the weakest Fiends around, only having a basic mastering of Magic and a whip to handle physical fights. However, she has the unique Skill of "Guardian Crafting" which enables her to create stone guardians as Lesser Apostles, and capable of defeating the strongest humans, nay sometimes giving a hard fight to ''other Fiends''.
*[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Satella can use all means at her disposal when it comes to helping the Hornet Faction. Including torture and kidnapping on Noah Hakobune and Sill Plain in ''Rance 03''. After acting as a bodyguard to Miki, the Extremist part is dropped.
Line 385:
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by La Hawzel include:}}
*[[Badass Bookworm]]: She is a fan of the writer Don Dossky and often reads his books under the guise of "Haw Zel". Overall, she spends most of a time reading a book and attempting to share her passion with others, to no avail.
*[[Fire-Breathing Weapon]]: Uses a huge flamethrower when fighting.
*[[Firing One-Handed]]: Despite being as tall as a rocket launcher, she can use her weapon with one hand.
Line 404:
----
===
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Ithere include:}}
*[[Affably Evil]]: Unlike Satella and Noce, he's actually very nice to his enemies and dislikes violence. He even proposed to Shizuka to take her under his wing as a Apostle when Jill gets released by Noce.
*[[Anti-Villain]]: In ''Rance 03'', Satella and
*[[Bad Powers, Good People]]:
*[[Benevolent Boss]]: As seen by his protective and caring personality, especially when he doesn't punish his Apostles for their failures. They deeply love him, to the point they willingly give their blood to their master, despite knowing it will kill them.
*[[Black Magic]]: His main skill.
*[[Brainwashing for the Greater Good]]: One of his main weapons during the war against Leazas, and shared by his Apostles.
*[[Dark Is Not Evil]]:
*[[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Upon seeing Shizuka naked, he gets distracted enough to get stabbed in the back.
* <!-- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Downplayed in Rance 03. He's working for the villain, but is unaware of his true goal. -->
*[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: Courtesy of Rance who stabbed him with Chaos while he was distracted by a naked Shizuka Masou.
*[[Leitmotif]]: "
*[[Nice Guy]]: As expected of a member of the Hornet Faction, even to his enemies.
*[[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Is on the side of humans, is ultimately a good person and has servants who follow him out of loyalty and love.
Line 472:
*[[Not So Stoic]]: He's clearly peeved when the Mach Piyo beats him in a race during one of his conversation events in ''Kichikuou Rance''. He also hates Kayblis so much that he can't help but dramatically shout his name when in his presence.
*[[Odd Friendship]]: His sole companion as a Fiend is the Mach Piyo, a tiny yellow bird that is the only thing capable of beating him in a race.
*[[The One Guy]]: Since
*[[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Flew into space and disarmed a satellite laser that Pi-R built during the time of ''[[Rance Quest]]''. We only hear about it secondhand from Satella.
*[[Posthumous Character]]: Mentioned at various points throughout ''Rance X'', but dies before being able to actually appear in it.
Line 501:
*[[Beard of Evil]]: He has rather impressive facial hair, and he's one of the few truly villainous Fiends.
*[[Big Bad]]: Of ''Rance 03''.
*[[The Chessmaster]]: He successfully manipulates Satella,
*[[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Every character he allied with ends up betrayed by him or he has them killed by enemy hands.
*[[Deader Than Dead]]: His Blood Soul is consumed back by Jill at the end of ''Rance 03''.
