Line 16:
*{{spoiler|[[Always Save the Girl]]: He goes through many timelines to save Mayuri, although it is implied that he ultimately chooses Kurisu}}.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I am mad scientist!", "This is the choice of Stein's Gate!", "El Psy Kongroo", among others.
*[[Chick Magnet]]: He seems to have no problem with girls swooning over him, and yes, that includes Ruka. Romance options are somewhat explored in the original game, but aren't the main focus. ''My Darling's Embrace'' leans more into the romantic options given the nature of the game itself. That said, it's also the only place where Moeka's attraction to Okabe is made apparent, and Suzuha's relationship with him is the only one that
<!-- *Chuunibyou: His "Hououin Kyouma" persona is something he played up because it makes Mayuri happy. MOD: Not a trope here, as the lack of a link might suggest. Don't add tropes we don't have. -->
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Burst out crying after countless time-leaps in order to save Mayuri with no success}}.
Line 40:
* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Crazy]]}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Or, as he prefers to call himself, the [[Surprisingly Good English|Crazy Mad Scientist]] "Hououin Kyouma".
* [[Misblamed]]: Okabe faces Daru's wrath after the latter falls into the swimming pool from being hit with a volleyball, even it was Faris' fault that Daru fell to begin with by using him as a shield.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Enjoys giving other people nicknames based on their deeds, including:
**Shining Finger (Moeka)
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Seen It All]]: His "Reading Steiner" allows him to retain memories of alternate world lines.
* [[Serious Business]]: You know this is the case when he either drops the theatrics for a bit, or when he addresses Kurisu by her proper name.
* [[Shout-Out]]: He thinks Suzuha looks like someone out of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' without her track top.
** He indirectly references ''[[Back to the Future]]'' when thinking about Suzuha's predicament in her route.
*[[Sore Loser]]: Cannot handle losing a game of RaiNet to anyone, be it Kurisu or Suzuha, and especially gets pissed off when Kurisu outsmarts him in a debate. Cannot stand that Faris plays into his delusional ramblings so effortlessly since he feels she does it better he does, and thus cannot beat her.
* [[Tsundere]]: He's not as blatant as Kurisu, but he fills this category as well, as is cheerfully pointed out by Mayuri.
Line 85 ⟶ 88:
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: She's a pretty mild example: while Okabe and Daru are all gung-ho about hacking into SERN and other dubious activities, Mayuri disapproves even when it's clear that SERN is up to some pretty shady business.
* {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie]]: ''Many times''. Okabe went through many timelines to try to save her, but the few times he did ended badly for Kurisu}}.
* [[Love Confession]]: In her route, she confesses to Okabe that she loved him for a long time, but felt great heartache when Kurisu came into their lives and feared that he liked the latter more. She also felt that her upcoming move was God's way of punishing her because of this.
*[[Meido]]: While she's at work, she wears a maid uniform which includes a blonde ponytail.
*[[Nice Girl]]: Sweet and friendly, Mayuri dislikes conflict and wants her fellow Lab Mems to get along with each other, almost acting as the Peacekeeper.
Line 117 ⟶ 121:
*[[Geeky Turn On]]: Has one when Okabe reverts back to his old self towards the end of ''Steins;Gate 0.''
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Everybody calls him "Daru".
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: In the games specifically, Daru frequently references the fact that he is in a video game by wondering if his dialogue has triggered a flag for a character route. He even calls Mayuri's route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' "the childhood friend route".
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Whenever a girl lets loose an [[Accidental Innuendo]], he'll ask them to repeat it. He also insists on having all the technical stuff explained to him in terms of eroge.
*[[Love At First Sight]]: Whether it's in the main series or in spin-offs, Daru's first time meeting Yuki Amane is this.
Line 130 ⟶ 134:
* [[Otaku]]: 2-D girls are the only girls for him! Except when they aren't, of course. Prior to ''0'', Faris is the exception to this.
*[[Pervert|The Pervert]]: Oh very much so! It doesn't matter who is in his crosshairs, he'll crack a perverted joke or comment in their direction, including Ruka and even Suzuha.
*[[Precision F-Strike]]: He is one of the only characters to drop an F-bomb in the whole series.
*[[Rage Breaking Point]]: Episode 16 of ''0'': Daru gets so fed up with Okabe's abrasive attitude after the latter insults Maho one time too many that he outright '''punches''' his friend in the face, and delivering an awesome "It's Not Always About You!" type of speech.
* [[Younger Than They Look|Younger Than He Looks]]: You'd think Daru was in his mid-20's by how he acts, looks, and sounds, but you'd be wrong; he's 19, a year older than Okabe.
Line 256 ⟶ 261:
*[[Hair Decorations]]: He has a hair clip with a purple skull on it... "But... he's a guy!"
*[[Hidden Depths]]: In ''[[Steins;Gate 0]],'' Ruka suddenly starts speaking to the professors in English. Though slightly broken (which can't be helped due to Kobayashi's native tongue), his English is surprisingly good.
*[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Despite his own infatuation with Okabe, and jealousy towards Mayuri, Ruka is more than content with the two people he cares about the most finding happiness together.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Rukako", used by Okabe, probably because it sounds more feminine to match his outward appearance.
*[[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Okabe's primary method of toughening Ruka up is by having him swing a cheap katana on a daily basis. In 2036, Ruka has mastered this weapon, and becomes pretty badass with it.
Line 289 ⟶ 295:
* [[Catgirl]]: Justified that she works as waitress in a cat themed maid café, which she also happens to own.
* [[Cat Smile]]: Her default expression is a playful smile. Not so much in the anime adaptation of the original ''Steins;Gate'', though it comes back in ''Steins;Gate 0''.
*[[Cloudcuckoolander]]: She is every bit as barmy as Okabe, but being quick witted has its advantages, since she will absorb his ramblings and add them to hers. Once she drops her mask however, she is much more elegant and soft-spoken, but she still retains a mischievous aura.
*[[Color Failure|Colour Failure]]: During ''0's'' Valentine's Day episode, the girls' attempt to make Valentine's Day chocolates ends in such a disaster that this happens to her.
**Also happens to her butler, Kuroki, in Episode 10 after Maho (and later Moeka) turns her guest room into a rubbish tip.
Line 295 ⟶ 301:
**Does it again during Suzuha's route in ''My Darling's Embrace'', which has Daru coldly brushing off her flirtatious advances, causing her to burst into tears.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Pink hair and pink eyes, though her eyes are closer to burgundy in the anime.
* [[The Cutie]]: Particularly when she's into her stage persona, Faris NyanNyan. Even when she's not playing a character, she's still adorable. Her cat-like mannerisms certainly help, and her winter outfit in ''0'' makes her even cuter.
* {{spoiler|[[Disappeared Dad]]: Her father died, but he's alive in the timelines after she sent her D-Mail}}.
*[[Foil]]: to her business rival, 4°C/Shido. Faris believes strongly in excellent customer service, treating her workers with love and respect, and making her establishment warm and inviting, while Shido only cares about profitability and will use any underhanded methods to achieve his goals.
Line 352 ⟶ 359:
*[[Eyes of Gold]]: just like Okarin, her eyes are yellow. They aren't related though.
*[[Fanservice]]: Her first time trying out cosplay has her wearing a cute and showy outfit during her route in ''My Darling's Embrace.'' Then there's an ''extremely'' form fitting cat suit that Mayuri made for her and Faris in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram.''
**Though she doesn't join Okabe and company at the local swimming pool, there is artwork of Suzuha wearing a two-piece swimsuit (which can be viewed in ''My Darling's Embrace's'' CG Library).
*[[Foil]]: Her Alpha and Beta selves are this to each other; Alpha Suzuha is outgoing, curious, cheery, and energetic. Beta Suzuha is more serious, focused, and stubborn.
**Also to her Omega self, who is more carefree, emotional, and kind of bratty.
Line 402 ⟶ 410:
*[[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Downplayed on the "nasty" part, but she plays one when "Sgt. Clean" comes out to play!
*[[Girlish Pigtails]]: Her most distinguishing feature, even when she's an adult.
*[[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Specifically, the ending of "Built With Love" reveals that Nae (now in her 20's) had befriended a much younger Suzuha (since she never came to 2010 in this worldline, she is only 6 years old here).
*[[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Specifically, don't call her dad "Mr. Braun". In ''My Darling's Embrace'', she is not "Sister Braun".
*[[Literal-Minded]]: She asks Suzuha how one would wash their brain when the latter suspects that Okabe was brainwashed.
