Line 10:
 
* [[The Ace]]: He was apparently considered this ''before'' he was able to jump around timelines and learn whatever skill he needed for a particular situation.
* {{spoiler|[[Anti -Anti -Christ]]}}: {{spoiler|Heiss abducted Prince Ernst at the beginning of his "second life," renaming him Stocke and raising him in Granorg's rival Alistel. His intent was to train Stocke to assist him in destroying humanity. Everything he does to Stocke has the opposite effect. Moving Stocke away from Granorg protects him from his [[Dysfunction Junction]] family and introduces him to his best friend Rosch. He butchers Marco and Raynie's unit so he can hire them to assist Stocke, but they become his newest and dearest friends, furthering Stocke's devotion to others.}}
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Verges on [[Mega Manning]]. Stocke can learn techniques which take years to master with a brief tutorial and a few minutes' observation, though this may involve a certain amount of [[Save Scumming|creative use of his powers]].
* [[Badass Cape]]/[[Scarf of Asskicking]]: It's half cape, half scarf, and all badass.
** [[Badass|He doesn't just dress the part.]]
* [[Big Good]]
* {{spoiler|[[Big Screwed -Up Family]]: The Granorg Kingdom}}
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Brains side of this dynamic with Rosche.
Line 37:
** During a Bad End, he also questions {{spoiler|why something that can turn Gafka into a mindless beast even ''exists'', and is rewarded with a [[Sequel Hook]].}}
** Even more impressively, he immediately {{spoiler|[[Romance Sidequest|figures out that Raynie is in love with someone when she starts saying]] [[I Have This Friend]].}}
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: {{spoiler|Kicks the shit out of Rosch once.}}
* [[The Heart]]
* [[Hell -Bent for Leather]]: Under the cloak, official art shows lots of leather and [[Too Many Belts]].
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: {{spoiler|The Ritual.}}
Line 49:
* {{spoiler|[[Loved I Not Honor More]]: Poor Raynie...}}
* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Dumb]]/[[Love Makes You Crazy|Crazy]]: Running away with Raynie? [[Catch Phrase|I'll have to think about this one carefully...]]}}
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]
* [[Made a Slave]]: Briefly. {{spoiler|He is captured and taken to Cygnus as a [[Gladiator Games|gladiator]], but he [[Win Your Freedom|wins his freedom]] in a duel against King Garland.}}
* [[Magic Knight]]: Slices, dices, throws fire, and can heal you in a pinch.
Line 56:
* [[The Messiah]]
* [[Messiah Creep]]: One of the most important things about him.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Many bad endings lead to this.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]
* [[Nakama]]: He starts off with a rapidly growing social circle.
Line 67:
* [[The Power of Love]]/[[The Power of Friendship]]: To an intense degree.
* [[Rebel Relaxation]]: During the Mimel Sidequest
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: To {{spoiler|Eruca's Blue, back when he was Ernst}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Relationship Upgrade]]: With Raynie after a [[Romance Sidequest]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Royally Screwed Up]]}}
Line 73:
* [[Save Scumming]]: Implied to use his time-rewinding powers to learn techniques that often take '''years''' to master with seemingly blinding speed.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|Sensitive Guy]]- One of his endearing traits. He's a tough-as-nails hotshot spy, and one would think he would be cold and introverted (okay, [[The Stoic|he kinda is]]). But he is very good to his friends and allies, in particular Rosch, Raynie, and Marco, and is sensitive to their feelings and problems. (He even helps Rosch out with relationship advice!)
* [[So Happy Together]]: {{spoiler|In a bad ending, he and Raynie give up fighting to live together, only to watch the world slowly end together in peace. [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|They come to really love each other, and are happy together]], but he ultimately uses the White Chronicle to get back to work when he can't bear to watch the world die anymore.}}
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: {{spoiler|Both literally and figuratively: he lost his original life as Prince Ernst and got a new life as Stocke. Stocke believes that his new life shaped him for the better in a way his old life would never have experienced due to his [[Dysfunction Junction]] family.}}
Line 112:
* {{spoiler|[[Love Confession]]: She tells Stocke "[[I Have This Friend]]," Stocke [[Genre Savvy|quickly asks if she's in love with whoever she's talking about]]. She immediately has a [[Love Epiphany]] in front of him and confesses to him, and [[Oblivious to Love|he's genuinely suprised.]]}}
* [[Magic Knight]]: Has a spear for melee attacks, and a huge array of black magic spells.
* [[Master of the Mixed Message]]: She wants to be [[Fire -Forged Friends]]. Riiiight...
* [[Mook Promotion]]: Originally designed as temporary character, she and Marco stay with the party.
* [[My Country Right or Wrong]]: Has a serious crisis concerning this in Cornet.
Line 118:
* [[One of the Boys]]: Marco mentions this. She gets pissed.
* [[Opera Gloves]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: To Marco's Blue.
* {{spoiler|[[Relationship Upgrade]]: Ordinarily [[Just Friends]] with Stocke, she is [[Promoted to Love Interest]] in her sidequest.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Shallow Love Interest]]}}: {{spoiler|Comes damn close, but narrowly averted. Early in, she is obviously quite taken to Stocke. During the [[Romance Sidequest]], [[Strangled By the Red String|out of nowhere]], [[Love Makes You Crazy|she's crazy about him]], to the point of asking him to abandon [[Saving the World]] to elope together. Yet Stock and Raynie are not the center of each other's universes (unless of course [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|you said yes]]). By the end of the game, she is an Alistel officer, as loud and proud as she ever was, but if the sidequest is complete, she is also [[I Will Wait for You|waiting for him]] so they can finally settle down together.}}
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]:{{spoiler|All three dialog options in her [[Romance Sidequest]] paint Stocke as a nice man. One for rescuing Aht, one for entrusting her and Marco in [[You Shall Not Pass|covering Stocke's escape,]] and one for rushing to stop a gang of mooks from charging into a [[Doomsday Device]]. She must dig aggressive male chivalry.}}
* [[So Happy Together]]: {{spoiler|With Stocke in one bad ending. If only they finished [[Saving the World]] first...}}
Line 127:
* [[Too Many Belts]]: She even uses one as [[Hair Decorations|a hair decoration]].
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Of the more silver variety.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
 
Line 136:
 
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: {{spoiler|Don't kill his potential love interest. He goes [[Ax Crazy]].}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Raynie's Red.
* [[Career Killers|Career Killer]]
* [[Child Soldiers|Child Soldier]]
Line 146:
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: {{spoiler|Conclusion of his sidequest.}}
* [[Little Hero Big War]]
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]
* [[Moment Killer]]
* [[New Old Flame]]: Mimel.
Line 167:
* [[Combat Clairvoyance]]
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Mostly available in the Alternate History, and consistently drops in and out of the party for plot-related reasons, as such, he's underleveled for quite some time.
* {{spoiler|[[Disabled Means Helpless]]}}: {{spoiler|Acts like it once. Stocke [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|beats that attitude out of him.]]}}
* [[A Father to His Men]]
* [[Fighting for A Homeland]]
Line 183:
* [[Officer and A Gentleman]]
* [[Red Baron]]: He's called the Young Lion of Alistel.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: To Raul.
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Can get this with {{spoiler|Sonja}} if you complete a certain sidequest.
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]: {{spoiler|When he loses his entire army, he loses the will to fight.}}
* [[Supporting Leader]]
* {{spoiler|[[Survivor Guilt]]}}
* [[Ten Minute Retirement]]: {{spoiler|After his entire army gets wiped out, he goes into this.}}
* [[Twenty Four 24-Hour Armor]]: He must smell really bad. {{spoiler|He doesn't even get a new sprite with a desk job.}}
** Could this maybe have something to do with his gauntlet?
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: He {{spoiler|[[Lawful Stupid|tries to kill Eruca]] and Stocke must kill him and use the Chronicle to sway his point of view on the country to which he swears his loyalty.}}
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: He's ''twenty-one.''
 
Line 214:
* [[Little Bit Beastly]]
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: In one bad ending she {{spoiler|seals Stocke in a world of her own creation.}}
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Only when she's blocking though.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Satyros = Satyr.
* [[Musical Assassin]]: She casts traps and spells by playing her flute.
Line 225:
* [[Tagalong Kid]]
* [[Talking to The Dead]]: She's a shaman whose job is to help deceased spirits pass from the world.
* [[Token Mini -Moe]]
* [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]
* [[Trap Master]]
Line 239:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]: Her normal attack.
* [[Badass Princess]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Ernst's Red, before he died.
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Brother]]
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]
* [[Glass Cannon]]: While she can deal good damage, her physical defense is less than that of ''Aht''.
* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Averted. Though she fires magic shots.
Line 260:
* [[Taking Up the Mantle]]: {{spoiler|Her rebellion and toughness is inspired from Ernst's example.}}
* [[Tomboy Princess]]: More in personality than appearance.
** Becomes ever so apparent in battle. Her battle stance is rather dainty, but she occasionally stops to [[Gun Twirling|twirl her gun in two different directions]]. Then there's [[Armor -Piercing Slap|her melee attack]]...
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: {{spoiler|In her ending, she pulls off Stocke's ability to Vanish, and kills her would-be assassin.}}
 
Line 268:
A Gutral Beastkind. With the power of Chi, he transforms his seemingly brute strength into powerful energy attacks. When his skill gaining sidequests are completed, he gains great board control abilities, which let him push and pull enemies anywhere for absurd combos. Despite his rough appearance, [[Gentle Giant|he has a gentle and magnanimous personality]] [[Genius Bruiser|and he speaks with calm and experience]]. He has some difficulty telling humans apart. He acts as a protector and guard for the village of Celestia, though it's unclear at first as to why he lives with the Satyros rather than his own kind.
 
* [[Bare -Fisted Monk|Bare Fisted Monkey]]
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: In one of his bad endings, he becomes a monster powerful enough to wipe his enemies off the face of the earth...but at the cost of his humanity. He doesn't stop with {{spoiler|Alistel}}; he ends up taking on every other major country single-handedly, and the entire world has to team up ''just to take him down''.
Line 278:
* [[Megaton Punch]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[One -Man Army]]: In one of his bad endings. It doesn't end well.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]
Line 294:
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Of the game as a whole.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cain and Abel]]}}: {{spoiler|Technically, he's both. He became the Sacrifice on behalf of his brother, King Victor, who was [[The Caligula]]. When he got his second life, he killed King Victor and abducted the reborn Ernst, renaming him Stocke.}}
* [[Character Development]]: {{spoiler|He goes from being a [[Green -Eyed Monster]], to [[Hates Everyone Equally]], and finally to [[The Messiah]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]: The entire plot is ultimately driven by his scheming.}}
* [[The Cynic]]
Line 301:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: One of his {{spoiler|final desperate strategies}} is an ongoing [[Player Punch]]. {{spoiler|He repeatedly goes back in time, once to kill Eruca, then a number of times to possess different allies and enemies. He stops and makes a final stand, though.}}
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: He has two Thaumatech Gauntlets, as opposed to Rosch's one.
* {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination]]}}: {{spoiler|His final form, Apocrypha.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: {{spoiler|It's heavily implied he views Stocke as more of a son than a nephew, and in fact most of his actions in the game are an attempt to save Stocke from becoming a Sacrifice.}}
Line 308:
* [[Friendless Background]]
* {{spoiler|[[Good Feels Good]]}}
* [[Green -Eyed Monster]]: {{spoiler|Initially, he resented his brother ruling Granorg while he was the Sacrifice.}}
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
Line 319:
* [[Megaton Punch]]
* {{spoiler|[[Misanthrope Supreme]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|Nice job giving Ernst a chance to gain a [[Nakama]] and become an extraordinary soldier, Heiss.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Nietzsche Wannabe]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Omnicidal Maniac]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[One -Winged Angel]]}}: {{spoiler|Apocrypha, which looks like something out of M. C. Escher's nightmares. It's the embodiment of the sorrow of all the previous Sacrifices.}}
* {{spoiler|[[People Puppets]]}}: Does this with {{spoiler|the corpse of King Victor}}, and later with {{spoiler|Field Marshall Viola}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Plaguemaster]]}}: {{spoiler|Every Sand Plague death is actually him ripping the mana out of a servant.}}
Line 332:
* [[Sinister Schnoz]]: This alone is the most popular giveaway.
* [[Smug Snake]]
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Stocke I Am Your Uncle]]}}
* [[Teleport Spam]]: When first demonstrating Vanish to Stocke.
* [[Thicker Than Water]]: {{spoiler|Towards Stocke.}}
Line 342:
[[File:protea_8.png|frame]]
 
The queen of Granorg, the country at war with Alistel, and Eruca's stepmother. She is a vain, cruel, and stupid woman who is manipulated by her advisers. She does as she pleases without a care for her subjects and is known within the kingdom as a tyrant. Swept up in the luxury and power of royalty, Protea is addicted to indulgence at the expense of her people. As the late King Victor's second wife, she has no blood ties to Princess Eruca and finds the girl a nuisance. She has no political expertise to speak of, so [[Co -Dragons|her trusted courtiers]], [[Dragon With an Agenda|High Colonel Dias and Count Selvan]], actually handle her administration.
 
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
Line 350:
* [[Evil Matriarch]]
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]
* [[Kill 'Em All]]: {{spoiler|She orders for Granorg to be set on fire to kill the resistance, regardless of who else it may hurt.}}
* [[Know When to Fold Em]]: Only at the last possible second. {{spoiler|When Stocke's about to cut her head off.}}
* [[Love Ruins the Realm]]: The late King Victor has bad taste. Not that he was a saint.
Line 357:
* [[Rich Bitch]]
* [[Royally Screwed Up]]
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]
* [[Shotacon]]: She ogles choir boys. Dias and Selvan talk about it behind her back.
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]
Line 373:
* [[Bishonen]]/[[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]: Protea hired him based on his looks.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Co -Dragons]]: With Dias, to Protea.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* {{spoiler|[[Deal With the Devil]]}}: In the Standard History, in the Final Chapter, he finds {{spoiler|Heiss under the Granorg palace, who promises him, and later Dias, to be part of a great power. [[Literal Genie|It doesn't end well.]]}}
* [[Dragon -in -Chief]]
* [[Dragon With an Agenda]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]
Line 396:
 
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
* [[Bishonen]]/[[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]/[[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Like Selvan, he says he got his job because of his looks.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Co -Dragons]]: With Selvan, to Protea.
* [[Cutscene Boss]]
* {{spoiler|[[Deal With the Devil]]}}: In the Standard History, in the Final Chapter, he finds {{spoiler|Heiss under the Granorg palace, who has promised Selvan to be part of a great power, and is given the same offer. [[Literal Genie|It doesn't end well.]]}}
* [[Dirty Coward]]
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Is this to his in-universe fangirls.
* [[Dragon -in -Chief]]
* [[Dragon With an Agenda]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]
Line 433:
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]}}: {{spoiler|To Heiss.}}
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: In the Standard History, he just sort of fades into the background, and is never seen again after the first few chapters. {{spoiler|Though it can be conjectured that his fate in the Alternate History "leaked" into the Standard History.}}
* {{spoiler|[[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]}}
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Once {{spoiler|Fennel}} has {{spoiler|infused him with the power of Flux}}, he disposes of him.
Line 442:
The director of Alistel's research and development department. Fennel is a world-renowned thaumatech scientist under orders from Hugo to work night and day on mass production of the powerful thaumachines he devised. Sonja is technically one of his underlings.He is Alistel's finest mind, but he has an extreme distaste for other people. He's a typical [[Mad Scientist]] who thrives on data collected through field tests and cares about nothing but furthering his research.
 
* [[For Science!|For Thaumatech]]
* [[Lonely At the Top]]: Though Fennel does love science, he loves the scientific community even more. The reason he stopped working on gauntlet tech was because the only person who could even comprehend his work{{spoiler|(Sonja's brother)}} died, leaving his theories and creations completely unchallenged, which Fennel finds incredibly boring.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
Line 479:
* [[Pointy Ears]]: For some reason.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: They're far older than they look. In fact, {{spoiler|they're even older than they should be chronologically (which would be at least as old as the the fall of the Empire), because their personal timelines include those of ''every single Sacrifice'', including Stocke and Heiss.}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]
* [[Restraining Bolt]]: They are not permitted to direct Stocke to make any choices. He is free to make any choices he wants because he can always go back and change them without consequences. {{spoiler|But they strain to give Stocke an exact destination during an emergency.}}
* [[Spirit Advisor|Spirit Advisors]]
* [[The Watcher|The Watchers]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: They (gently) do this for particularly bad choices, such as {{spoiler|[[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|accepting Hugo's offer of power]], or [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|eloping with Raynie.]]}}
 
=== Sonja ===
Line 536:
* [[Benevolent Boss]]: One of Stocke's only superiors that he can actually trust.
* [[Big Good]]: Eventually becomes this, during {{spoiler|the war against Alistel}}, opposing {{spoiler|Hugo}}'s [[Big Bad]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Rosch.
* [[Bob Haircut]]: Of the male variety.
* [[Brains and Brawn]]: The brains to Rosch's brawn.
Line 571:
* [[Bifauxnen]]
* [[Death Seeker]]: Due to her illness. Partially excuses her [[Honor Before Reason]] tendencies.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Wields two swords.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: On a [[Too Dumb to Live]] scale.
* [[Ill Girl]]/[[Incurable Cough of Death]]: {{spoiler|Although if you do her sidequest, she is expected to fully recover in the epilogue.}}
Line 584:
* {{spoiler|[[Thanatos Gambit]]}}: {{spoiler|Tries to pull one off, though she may survive if you finish her sidequest.}}
* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]
 
=== Galva ===
Line 592:
 
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
