Line 5:
The eight main characters are listed in order of their Lab inductions. They are:
'''''WARNING:
==Rintaro Okabe ==
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 depending on the player's actions, 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 is platonic (though she does give him a kiss before she leaves just so Okabe doesn't forget her).
<!-- *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 29:
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Delivered by Mayuri, complete with a slap.
* [[The Gift]]: [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory|Reading Steiner]].
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: Okabe slips in a random nya in the middle of a phone call with Ruka, having spent time around Faris previously.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Uses it constantly. Along with [[Gratuitous German]].
*[[Heroic BSOD]]: Suffers a major one halfway through the series after his numerous attempts to save Mayuri from death doesn't produce the desired results. It's only when Kurisu and Suzuha offer to help that he snaps out of it.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* [[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.
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: Despite being an awkward, scrawny looking chap, Okabe has quite a few female friends, whether they show romantic interest or not. Among which include his childhood friend whom he had been with for a decade, a neuroscientist who happens to be a closet geek, a cat-eared maid who can keep up with his strange behaviour, a woman with the body of a supermodel (whose only companion is her phone), and an athletic shop assistant who speaks with outdated lingo.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Enjoys giving other people nicknames based on their deeds, including:
**Shining Finger (Moeka)
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Shares this dynamic with Kurisu.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: {{spoiler|Hits Moeka ''hard'' when he believes it's the only way to save Mayuri}}.
**In ''My Darling Embrace'', he
==Mayuri Shiina ==
Line 71 ⟶ 73:
A 16-year-old high school student and Okabe's childhood friend. She works at May Queen and is also a cosplay designer. {{spoiler|She's killed in most timelines, often by Moeka}}. She is designated Lab Member 002.
----
* [[Berserk Button]]: This is Mayuri we're talking about, so downplayed to the most extreme possible degree here. She does, however, get particularly angry towards Okarin after his continued insistence that *female* Ruka was a boy makes her cry.
**Mayuri is aware that she isn't particularly bright, but she doesn't like when others belittle her intelligence so blatantly, nor when they play up her ditziness.
**Don't ever get in the way of Mayuri and her fried chicken! She gets particular upset if you pinch one without her O.K.
*[[Big Eater]]: Often buys a ton of snacks, and is often seen snacking on either bananas, or microwavable fried chicken bites. In spite of this, Mayuri still maintains a decent figure.
*[[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: You can just about see them beneath her fringe. No one ever comments on them though.
Line 93 ⟶ 96:
* [[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
*[[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.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Almost always wears a wide brimmed, frilly looking blue hat.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The only character to change voice actress at any point, with Ashly Burch being replaced with Megan Shipman in the second half of ''Steins;Gate 0''. However, the voices are near enough identical to where you wouldn't notice the difference.
*[[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Downplayed, since she's already rather pretty to begin with, but nevertheless, she becomes even more beautiful when preparing for her photoshoot in her route in ''My Darling's Embrace'',
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: Despite what her ditzy mannerisms might suggest, she can be very insightful. After all, she was the one who figured out who Suzuha's dad was.
Line 103 ⟶ 107:
* [[Third Person Person]]: Always refers to herself as "Mayushii" instead of using a pronoun.
*[[Tragic Keepsake]]: "Pockety", a pocket watch she inherited from her grandmother after she passed away.
*[[Two First Names]]: Of course, Mayuri is her given name, however "Shiina" is also a
* {{spoiler|[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]}}: Ambiguous, but implied in the true ending.
** {{spoiler|[[Your Mileage May Vary]]. There are little to no romantic/sexual implications between Okabe and Mayuri whereas there are plenty of examples between Okabe and the other female characters, including Ruka}}.
Line 125 ⟶ 129:
*[[Everyone Has Standards]]: Even he finds Okabe's repeated insistence that Ruka is a dude to be crossing the line!
*[[Geeky Turn On]]: Has one when Okabe reverts back to his old self towards the end of ''Steins;Gate 0.''
*[[Got Me Doing It|Got Her Doing It]]: Gets annoyed that Mayuri started calling him "Hack/Super Hacka", but thankfully he takes his frustration out on Okabe for it (''"Dammit, now you got '''her''' saying it!"'').
* [[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".
Line 140 ⟶ 145:
*[[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'''
*[[Stalker with a Crush]]: Can be mistaken as such due to his obsession/infatuation with Faris.
* [[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 166 ⟶ 171:
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Non-action variety. She took up maths and science from a young age, but sacrificed education in pretty much everything else to a point where even her social skills left a lot to be desired.
* [[Cry Cute]]: In episode 5, after Okabe, already irate at losing a board game with her, yells at her for calling him by his real name, and then calling her "Christina", reducing her to tears. This was out of relief when she realises he's being his goofy self and his anger wasn't genuine.
**She has a more hilarious one at the end of Faris' route in ''My Darling's Embrace'' when she has a little too much fun with her Hell Maid schtick at MayQueen, only to discover that her colleagues in America saw the PV
*[[Depending on the Artist]]: As mentioned under Adaption Dye Job, her hair is red in the anime as opposed to brown in the visual novels. She also has an average sized bust in the visual novels, but in the anime, she is noticeably flatter to where she can't even form a cleavage line.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Only in the anime, and she has quite the temper to match.
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Posting on 2channel, dropping internet slang, just to name a few. Often becomes embarrassed when Daru and Okarin points them out.
* [[Hypocrite]]: In the 3rd ''Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing'' short, she criticises both Okabe and Daru for wearing the same clothes every day, but as Okabe points out, she is never seen wearing any other clothes besides her default outfit herself.
**
**In the ''Sekimen Hissi no Gossip'' drama CD, she urges Daru to show his true self to his new girlfriend, yet she won't share her true self with Okabe, only alluding to an attraction after some prodding from Daru, Faris, and Moeka.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Multiple nicknames used by Okabe, mainly "Christina". There's also "The Zombie" or simply "Assistant"; there was also the short lived "Celebrity 7" or "Celeb-7", and each one seems to piss her off in varying measures. She states that "The Zombie" is the nickname she hates the most.
Line 177 ⟶ 182:
*[[Irony]]: She hates being called "Christina", but "Kurisu" translates to "Chris" in English. For girls, "Chris" can be shorthand for "Christina".
**Also hates being called a tsundere despite possessing all of the right qualities to qualify as such.
**While discussing how Okabe should go about his upcoming date, the two wind up doing so while seemingly on a date together.
* [[Jerkass]]: She has many shades of this at times, as she can be rude, defensive, and needlessly confrontational towards Okabe. In her defense though, he himself didn't exactly make a very good first impression with her.
**Averted when she interacts with other females ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Ruka]]), particularly Mayuri.
Line 190 ⟶ 196:
*[[Smug Smiler]]: One of her sprites in visual novels depicts her with a smug look on her face, coupled with a cheeky wink for good measure. For extra smugness, a similar sprite will depict the same expression with her [[Badass Arm-Fold|arms folded]], too.
* [[Teen Genius]]: From an early age, she studied math and science like crazy at the expense of everything else, which has left her a more respected scientist than her father, even though she's seventeen when the story starts.
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: She gets flustered when she questions Okabe's "special technique" while discussing date plans with {{Spoiler|Ruka}}.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: She's one of the 2 guest characters in the 2D fighting game ''[[Phantom Breaker]]'', and is the only normal human, but she can fight an ''even'' match against superpowered adversaries using lab gadgets. It should be noted that she's among the only 2 characters who have 2 [[Finishing Move|supers]].
* [[Troll]]: At one point toys with Okabe by hanging up on him when he tries to call her until he talks to her in a more polite manner.
Line 234 ⟶ 241:
**In her route, she talks a lot more when she is alone with Okabe, which Mr. Tennouji takes notice of.
* [[Rapid-Fire Typing]]: Her one distinguishing skill in Okabe's eyes is that she can text a person in seconds, even with a phone that requires multiple key presses to get the letter she wants. It's the reason he calls her "Shining Finger". In fact, her lightning-fast text messaging becomes a plot point early on, in which she changes the contents of her D-mail so quickly that no one else in the room even notices.
** In worldlines in which she actually is a writer, her quick fingers help her to write articles quickly. She is able to fix Daru's script for MayQueen's PV ''and'' write an exposé of 4°C's business dealings within a 24 hour timeframe.
*[[Rei Ayanami Expy]]: Has some shades.
*[[Shrinking Violet]]: Incredibly shy to the point where she'd mostly communicate through rapid text messaging.
Line 292 ⟶ 299:
* [[The Ace]]: A master of the board game Rai-Net Battle having played in over 400 unofficial matches without defeat. She is so good she could compete officially if she wanted.
** As an In-Universe example of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] however, school and work take precedence over tournaments.
* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: An attraction to Okabe is implied due to her back-and-forth antics with him
*[[Animal-Eared Headband]]: As part of her attire, she wears a headband with cat ears. She is almost never seen without them, even when she isn't at work. She has implied that they also enhance her hearing too, but whether that's true or not is unclear.
**In the Delta worldlines, the ears are attached to her head via hairclips. Okabe learns this the hard way when he tries to steal them off her head for teasing him, only to end up hurting her instead.
Line 307 ⟶ 314:
**Also happens to her butler, Kuroki, in Episode 10 after Maho (and later Moeka) turns her guest room into a rubbish tip.
*[[Crocodile Tears]]: She tends to do this quite often just to get whatever she wants. In regard to wanting to use the Time Leap Machine to win a RaiNet match, she pulls this trick on Okabe when he casts doubt on her that she intends to use it for this reason.
**She may or may not have pulled this trick on Ruka to persuade him to take the lead role for her café's PV, but since the game only uses static sprites, that's up for debate.
**She ends up crying for real later on in her ending when she realises that {{Spoiler|Okabe has no memories of his relationshp with her.}}
* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|When she decides to undo the effects of her D-Mail}}.
Line 318 ⟶ 326:
** [[Princess Curls]]
* [[The Glomp]]: She glomps a random guy in an Upa costume when she overheats in ''Linear Bounded Phenogram''. Does so to Okabe a few times in ''0.''
*[[Hidden Buxom]]: Zigzagged: her casual attire hides her bust quite well,
*[[I Lied]]: During her route in ''My Darling's Embrace,'' she has a "spell" that makes Okabe fall in love with her if he hears her real name. By the end though, she admits that she lied about it, and confesses she's the one who falls in love with whoever calls her "Rumiho". By the sounds of it, she was waiting on Okabe specifically to do so.
*[[In-Series Nickname]]: Faris Nyannyan is not her real name; it is simply a stage name she goes by in RaiNet tournaments, and while she's at work. Her actual name is a mystery to most. Calling her by her real name doesn't anger her in any way, but unless she gives you her full trust, she'd rather you call her Faris.
Line 349 ⟶ 357:
*[[True Companions]]: Faris, along with Ruka, are both this to Okabe after Daru reveals that they had been looking after him while he was comatose.
*[[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: She and Mayuri are the Girly Girls, while Suzuha is the Tomboy. Faris takes it further by expecting the guys to respect her privacy when it comes to her D-mail, like most girls do.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: She
== Suzuha Amane ==
Line 363 ⟶ 371:
*[[Captain Obvious Reveal]]: In the movie, specifically. They hide her identity for a bit by hiding her face and putting a filter over her voice, but when she enters Kurisu's hotel room to give her cryptic advice, the film makes little effort to hide her, thanks to her familiar braids, and Cherami Leigh's natural voice.
*[[Cat Smile]]: often has one in the VN's, like Mayuri and Faris. Fittingly enough, she takes a job at MayQueen in ''My Darling's Embrace'' if the player pursues Faris' route''.''
*[[The Cutie]]: Not to the same extent as Mayuri or Faris, but she
*[[Death Glare]]: Shoots one at Kurisu every time their eyes meet during the first half of the anime.
*[[The Determinator]]
Line 391 ⟶ 399:
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: It isn't easy talking about her without spoiling major lore and plot details. This applies to ''Steins;Gate 0'' as well, in which her Beta self is treated as a separate character.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Is visibly weirded out by Okabe's bizarre attempts to speak jive/gratuitous English.
{{Quote|
==Yuugo Tennouji ==
{{quote|''Don't encourage the guy! He's already whacked enough as it is!.''|Tennouji's nutshell description of Okabe to Suzuha}}
Line 401 ⟶ 409:
* [[Badass Baritone]]
*[[Cranky Landlord]]: Seeing as though his tenant is [[Large Ham|Rintaro]]...
*[[Dirty Old Man]]: In the game, he finds Suzuha's "seduction technique" rather kinky, commenting on how firm her belly was, much to Suzuha and even Nae's disapproval. Downplayed on the "old" part, seeing as he is only 32.
*[[Overprotective Dad|Doting Dad]]: Is extremely protective of Nae, to the point where he doesn't trust Okabe (and especially Daru) to be alone with her.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Rintaro calls him "Mr. Braun".
Line 408 ⟶ 416:
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]: To Moeka, and implied to be towards the other agents he controls}}.
*[[Not Distracted by the Sexy]]: In the anime, he is not deterred by Suzuha's "seduction technique" in the slightest in Episode 11, forcing her to walk around without her jacket as punishment.
*[[Sherlock Scan]]: When he visits Moeka's apartment one night to check up on her, he knows Okabe is there because f not just his scent, but also the two cups of yakisoba on Moeka's table. Tennouji even interrogates Okabe later on to confirm this, knowing that he would spill the truth.
*[[Shipper on Deck]]: Related to the above, he is also well aware that Okabe and Moeka are fond of each other, so he goes out of his way to set up a date for them so they can spend some quality time together.
