Dark Souls/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Bookworm]]

* [[Enlightenment Superpowers]]: What [[Word of God]] says about him being {{spoiler|naked in the Duke's Archives when he goes mad.}}

* [[Expy]]: He's essentialy a replacement for Sage Freke of ''[[Demons Souls]]''.

* {{spoiler|[[Full-Frontal Assault]]: Strips naked in The Duke's Archives. According to [[Word of God]] he's trying to emulate Seath. [[Fridge Logic|Which makes sense since you have to be naked to use the Dragon Stone items.]]}}

* [[In the Hood]]

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[Verbal Tic]]: A slight one. He'll frequently pause mid-sentence.

 

 

* [[Dead All Along]]: Implied.

* [[Last of Her Kind]]: Possibly, given that Oolacile has little mention elsewhere in-game.

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]

* {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie]]: Eventually leading to [[Kill the Cutie]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Distressed Damsel]]}}

* [[Fragile Flower]]

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Dislikes strangers and only warms up to the player after {{spoiler|saving her in the Tomb of the Giants.}}

 

=== Eingyi ===

* {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Plant Person]]: A large part of it is this. It's likely what was left of the Witch of Izalith.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Puzzle Boss]]}}

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: What is seen of her in the prologue cutscene, she's much taller than her daughters, who are more human-sized.

* [[Glasgow Grin]]/[[Cheshire Cat Grin]]

* [[Mega Neko]]: She's around the size of a grizzly bear.

* [[Talking Animal]]

* [[Verbal Tic]]: When she speaks, an undertone of deep yowling can be heard.

 

* [[Broken Bird]]

* [[The Speechless]]: She gets better, but considers her restored ability to speak a sin.

* {{spoiler|[[Unwanted Rescue]]: Of a sort. She's fine with being resurrected, its having her ''tongue'' back that she takes issue with. This is justified because, as a firekeeper, she was raised (possibly from birth) to ''never'' speak out against her [[Fate Worse Than Death]].}}

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Has an impressive trophy room with the Four Knights.

* [[Badass]]

* [[The Dragon]]: Although he'd object to the trope name, he is the Captain of the Four Knights and thus one of if not Gwyn's top lieutenant. Also a minor subversion, in that you kill him about halfway though the game.

* [[Dual Boss]]: With Smough.

* [[Flash Step]]/[[Videogame Dashing]]: Ornstein's hyper fast attack in which he glides across the ground.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Most of the time, his first move is to charge the player ''very'' fast with his spear.

** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Lightning Lightning Bruiser]] in fact, as many of his attacks are imbued with this element.

* [[Drop the Hammer]]

* [[Dual Boss]]: With Ornstein.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Not him, but his armor. The max-stat Black Phantoms released into the games of players who broke the street date wore his armor.

* [[Evil Laugh]]

=== Giant Crow ===

 

 

* [[Ravens and Crows]]

* [[Optional Party Member]]: After a fashion. While you never ''have'' to take a phantom in to a bossfight, her signs can be a little hard to see. Missing her first summon makes her second unavailable.

* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]

 

=== Siegmeyer of Catarina ===

* [[Action Girl]]

* {{spoiler|[[Kill the Ones You Love]]: She is forced to kill Siegmeyer after he turns Hollow.}}

 

=== Vince & Nico ===

* [[Bald of Evil]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: He ''despises'' clerics. He wasn't exactly fond of them in ''[[Demons Souls]]'', either. Although given the [[Crapsack World|bleak]] [[Dark Fantasy|setting]] in both games, this can be [[Corrupt Church|easily explained]] in each game's backstory.

* [[Blatant Lies]]:

{{quote| ''(after attempting to kill the player character by activating a trap)'' …I slipped and flipped that lever, you see…<br />

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Wields one appropriate for her size. {{spoiler|Her soul can be used in Weapon Ascension to remake it for the player to use.}}

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: She towers over the player, who comes up to about her knees.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[Woman in White]]

This massive fire creature is the source of all the lava that fills the Demon Ruins and restricts access to Lost Izalith. This creature watches over an altar, on which is placed the body of one of the Daughters of Chaos. Picking the Gold Hemmed Black armor set up will aggro the beast, leading to a boss battle. {{spoiler|[[Word of God]] states that this is the brother mentioned in the Orange Charred Ring description, according to the recently released Japanese official artbook.}}

 

* [[Berserk Button]]: He seems content to ignore you (or otherwise doesn't even notice you) up until you desecrate the tomb of his sister and take her Gold-Hemmed Armor. Then he shows no mercy.

* [[Body Horror]]: He was originally born with inflamed sores that oozed lava. That is horrifying enough, but after he lost the ring his sisters made to ease his pain, his sores eventually turned him into the abomination you see now.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]

* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: [http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o312/oracrest/Dark%20Souls/05-noscale.jpg Its most obvious physical feature.]

* [[Was Once a Man]]: Well, dragon.

 

* [[Expy]]: Of the Old Monk from [[Demons Souls]]. Both were legendary exiles who wore golden robes. The Xanthous crown is almost identical to the one worn by the Black Phantom summoned by the Old Monk for his boss fight.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Xanthous means yellow. And what color is his armor again...?

* [[Whip It Good]]: Wields and drops the Notched Whip.
