See the [[Galaxy Angel (Video Game)/Characters|character sheet]], and would you mind editing it? It desperately needs fans of the series to give it some love.
 
{{tropelist}}
----
=== This series provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Every single one of the Angels is this. Also the Hell Hounds.
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Chinese Girl]] (Ranpha)
* [[Climax Boss]]
* [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience]].
* [[Converse With the Unconscious]] In EL when the LI has been {{spoiler|shot down due to Val-Fask treachery}}
* [[Cool Big Sis]] Forte to the other Moon Angels. To a lesser extent, Lily to the other Rune Angels.
Line 89 ⟶ 88:
* [[First Girl Wins]] If the player as Tact picks Milfeulle as the love interest.
* [[First Kiss]] A major plot point in Milfeulle's route in Moonlit Lovers and is revisited due to another plot point in Eternal Lovers. Vanilla and Chitose get their first kisses near the end of Eternal Lovers, Mint first kisses Tact on the cheek while they're on the plane after Tact rescues her from being trapped by her father (no CG is devoted to this), and Forte first kisses Tact before the battle with Eonia (again, no CG is devoted to this). Ranpha's first kiss is by accident due to a zero-gravity malfunction.
* [[Five -Bad Band]]:
** [[The Big Bad]] (Eonia/{{spoiler|Noa}})
** [[The Dragon]] (Sherry/{{spoiler|Eonia}})
Line 95 ⟶ 94:
** [[The Brute]] (Lezom)
** [[The Dark Chick]] (Lulu)
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]] (Tact)
** [[The Lancer]] (Lester/Forte)
Line 110 ⟶ 109:
* [[Glass Cannon]] (Ranpha's Emblem Frame, the "Kung-Fu Fighter".)
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]] (The game version of the Hell Hounds)
* [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]] (Where do we start? The Transbaal Military uniform is composed of White and Black in equal amounts as well as a bit of Gold. The Angels, [[Custom Uniform|in particular]], got one extra color each: Pink for Milfeulle, Cheery Red for Ranpha, Blue for Mint, Natural Green for Vanilla and Purple for Forte (this one is a surbversion since Forte is certainly not evil but rather more mature). Takuto, as the commander, also gets some Blue and Cheery Red. Finally, their battleships are mostly White with some Blue, Gold and Natural Greens. The White Moon is mostly [[Captain Obvious|White]] with some Gold and the Angel Frames reflect their pilot's colors.
** As for the bad guys, there's Eonia and Sherry whom dress in Black and Purple. The Hell Hounds get Black, Bloody Red, Unnatural Green, Purple, Silver and Dark Blue. All of their ships are Black with Bloody Red or Purple. And finally, there's the Black Moon which is mostly Black with some Bloody Red.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: [[Blood Knight|Red-Eye]] has a scar that goes from between his eyes down to his chest. [[The Dragon|Sherry Bristol]] has one across her left cheek.
* [[Guide Dang It]] (Although this editor ''did'' manage to get all of Shiva's CGs once in the first game, she hasn't been able to replicate the feat since.)
** The problem is that getting the subroute where those CGs are unlocked from requires you to choose very specific responses and to visit certain areas that don't have portraits on them. You can screw it up as early as chapter 2. The only other CG in the relevant collection requires said subroute to NOT occur.
Line 125 ⟶ 124:
* [[Instant Win Condition]]: Both ways in combat - if the ship Tact is on is ever destroyed, the mission automatically ends in failure. This takes precedence over victory conditions, so if you had just defeated that target flagship just seconds before, you still lose. On the flip side, if the Elsior is surrounded by enemy ships and all of the target opponents are defeated, the remaining enemies will just stop.
* [[Irony]] (Five years before the start of the first game, [[The Evil Prince|Eonia Transbaal]] showed an [[Ambition Is Evil|abnormal interest]] in the [[Lost Technology]] of the White Moon and, as a result, he was stripped of his royal rights and exiled from the Transbaal Empire. Now, guess [[Enfante Terrible|what]] [[Creepy Child|does]] [[Space Station|he]] [[Kill Sat|find]] [[Mecha Mooks|while]] [[Death Ray|wandering]] [[Death From Above|out]] [[Earthshattering Kaboom|there]]? He even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this fact in the last-to-next chapter.)
* [[ItsIt's All My Fault]] (This is Tact's general demeanor after {{spoiler|being forced to shoot down his girlfriend, severely injuring her, because of a combination of Val-Fasc sabotage and an argument he had with his girlfriend before the battle in which that shooting was necessary}})
* [[Jack of All Stats]] (Kazuya's "Brave Heart" and Milfeulle's "Lucky Star".)
* Keystone Army: The opposing forces, all the time.
Line 137 ⟶ 136:
* [[The Man Behind the Man]] ({{spoiler|In Project GA with [[Big Bad|Eonia]] and [[Enfant Terrible|Noah]]. Then in Moonlit Lovers with [[Avenging the Villain|Lezom Mer Zom]] and [[Evil Chancellor|Nephelia]].}} More like "The Woman Behind the Man"...
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]] (Forte's ship, the Happy Trigger, gets one of these as her Limit Break.)
* [[MathematiciansMathematician's Answer]]: In EL when Vanilla and Chitose are exchanging diaries, Chitose asks what type of woman Tact would like. Vanilla's answer? One that makes good coffee.
* [[Mecha Mooks]] (Played straight in every single one of the games, where the antagonist's army is composed mostly of unmaned battleships with only a very few organic beings around. Probably done in order to keep [[Black and White Morality|the line between good and evil clear.]])
* [[Mighty Glacier]] (Forte's Emblem Frame, the "Happy Trigger".)
Line 151 ⟶ 150:
* [[New Era Speech]] (Eonia Transbaal broadcasts one of these after executing a coup'd etat in the beginning of the first game.)
* [[Noble Fugitive]] (The first game has Shiva being pursued by Eonia's Forces.)
* [[Non -Lethal KO]] (If any one of the Angels gets shot down in battle, she automatically withdraws back to the hangar so her Emblem Frame can be fixed. But after the battle she scolds you for your subpar orders.)
* [[The Obi -Wan]]
** Luft to Tact
** Forte to both Tact and Lily
Line 162 ⟶ 161:
* [[Older Than They Look]] (Also Mint) The Val-Fasc, many are [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]. Also Noah.
* [[One Head Taller]] (Tact to Mint/Vanilla if he pursues their respective routes.)
* [[One -Winged Angel]] (Though it's not the Angels themselves who pull it.)
* [[Only Mostly Dead]]
* [[Only Sane Man]] (Lester feels this way sometimes.)
Line 171 ⟶ 170:
** In the original game Takuto has choice to dump the girl. This makes her absolutely worthless in the final 2 battles and makes those two battles A LOT harder.
** [[Invoked Trope]] by Tact in the first Galaxy Angel II videogame. Tact gives Kazuya and Kazuya's chosen date a free pass to a normally-pricey luxury health resort/beach spa ''precisely because'' he's learned from firsthand experience how powerful an Angel in love is, so he has an ulterior motive (as well as the caring motive) to give Kazuya a pass that can help him and his chosen Angel become closer.
* [[The PresidentsPresident's Daughter]] ( {{spoiler|Shiva, who is the secret daughter of Moon Goddess Shatoyarn and Emperor Gerard Transbaal. Her safety is the Angel Troupe and Tact's first priority}}).
* [[Psycho Rangers]] (The Hell Hounds.)
* [[Psycho for Hire]] (The manga versions of the Hell Hounds.)
Line 190 ⟶ 189:
* [[Shipper On Deck]] The [[Bridge Bunnies]], Coco and Almo are this with Tact and his chosen Angel. Coco sometimes ships Tact with Lester instead, but this is a joke on Coco's part and Coco is as enthusiastic about an Angel romance as Almo is.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Ranpha and Tact.
* [[Shy Blue -Haired Girl]]: (The game version of Chitose comes as a perfect example. Highly intelligent and disciplined. Her shyness is used mostly as comic relief.)
* [[Sixth Ranger]] (Chitose, Natsume, half the GAII cast.)
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]] Heavily Idealist
* [[Space X]] (anything you can imagine, there's a space version of it. The only thing that seems to be different from the normal version is that the space version has "space" in its name. The exception is the [[space Whales]], who are some kind of magical animal.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]] (The official source likes to change things around just when we've gotten used to the old spellings. ''Elsior'' was fine, it was around for a few games, but then all of a sudden, it's called the ''Elle Ciel'' instead, which doesn't even match the katakana. Also, many of the food-based names purposely misspell the food, like Milfeulle [millefeuille].)
* [[Spin -Off]]
* [[Space Whale]] (The Space Whale and Space Whale Jr. Of course, they don't actually live in the void of space because that would just be ridiculous.)
* [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] (While the game had a route for each girl, the manga used [[First Girl Wins|Milfeulle]] as the main [[Love Interest]] from the beginning and, therefore, focused mostly on her. Then Chitose came out of nowhere and got the second volume of Beta all for herself as well as plenty of the first and third; all while the rest of the team got only one chapter for each.)
* [[Stalker With a Crush]] (Camus O. Laphroaig, Milfeulle's Hell Hounds counterpart.)
* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] (The Val-Fasq.)
Line 203 ⟶ 202:
* [[Supporting Leader]] (Luft, and Tact once he passes the torch.)
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] ({{spoiler|[http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6558/boyorgirl.png Shiva]}})
* [[Taking You With Me]] ( {{spoiler|Sherry Bristol}} unsuccessfully attempts to do this against the Elsior and [[Alas, Poor Villain|dies as a result]].)
* [[Team Shot]]
* [[Theme Naming]] (The Angels and several of the female supporting cast members are named after different kinds of sweets and desserts. Villains, on the other hand, are named after alcoholic drinks.)
Line 213 ⟶ 212:
* [[Tsundere]] (Anise is very much a type-A.)(Ranpha in the first game before rapidly entering a perpetual dere-mode if pursued.)
* [[True Companions]]: (Tact and the Angels, it's stated that the entire crew of the Elsior and the Angels are this as well.)
* [[Two2-D Space]] (Averted in the first trilogy. Played straight in Galaxy Angel II.)
* [[Unstoppable Rage]] (A few of the girls go into this during the final scene of the first game, literally blasting through hordes of enemy units all at once to rescue Tact.)
** Ranpha especially. If it weren't a few years too early for it, you'd expect her to [[Actor Allusion|yell]] '''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|ZENRYOKU]] [[Yukari Tamura|ZENKAI]]!''' during her [[Foe -Tossing Charge]].
* [[Visionary Villain]] (Eonia Transbaal. Of course, he thinks [[Utopia Justifies the Means]].)
* [[Wave Motion Gun]] (The Chrono Break Cannon in the first trilogy and the Dual Chrono Break Cannon in Galaxy Angel II.)
* [[We Are Team Cannon Fodder]]: During the first game, the remnants of the Imperial Navy might as well be annoying distraction against Eonia, due to how ridiculously strong the Angel Brigade is. [[The Cavalry|Gloriously inverted]] in both Moonlit Lover and Eternal Lovers. The Imperial Navy even pulls a [[Big Damn Heroes]] on ''you'' during the final battle in Moonlit Lover, and are so effective in wiping out enemies they are basically responsible in destroying half the invading army alongside you.
* [[Web Games]]: When searching the internet for the Galaxy Angel games, it is easier to find the Flash game Galaxy Angel Sim Date. It was created by English speaking fans, and seems to resemble anime characterization (it may be an unintentional [[Recursive Adaptation]])... except for the [[Cluster F -Bomb|out-of-character swearing]].
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] (Eonia wants to use the power of Lost Technology to expand the limits of the Transbaal Empire and bring more wealth and prosperity to its populace. And he's willing to do [[Death From Above|anything]] and [[Earthshattering Kaboom|everything]] to achieve said goal.)
* [[What Could Have Been]]: (When asked to make a sixth angel, the creator submitted a [[Tomboy]] with short hair and [[Meganekko|glasses]]. Due to [[Executive Meddling]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] [[The Scrappy|Chitose]] was used instead.)
* [[When She Smiles]] (Vanilla plays this Trope to full effect.)
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]] (Lester)
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]] ([[Hello Nurse|Cera]].)
* [[Witch Species]] (Kahlua's.)
* [[Worthy Opponent]] (Hell Hounds, sort of.)
