==UN Spacy Forces==
===Captain Bruno J. Global===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Global include:}}
* [[A Father to His Men]] - He is shown to care deeply about the people under his command.
* [[Dirty Old Man]] - The bridge crew gets a few good snarks in as Global seems to be enjoying himself a little ''too'' much while judging the Miss Macross contest.
* [[The Captain]] - Technically he is either (depending on the ambiguous Japanese term) a Brigadier General or a Rear Admiral.
* [[Running Gag]] - "No smoking on the bridge!"
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Global or Gloval?
* [[Team Dad]]
===Claudia LaSalle===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Claudia include:}}
* [[Beta Couple]] - With Roy. She offers quite a bit of romantic advice to Hikaru and Misa.
* [[Black Best Friend]] - to Misa.
* [[Bridge Bunny]]
* [[Cool Big Sis]] - She acts like this often to Misa, commisserating with Misa over tea (or more alcoholic substances) later in the series, as the love triangle begins to close.
* [[Noriko Ohara]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Token Minority]] - She's black and ''way'' too dark to be [[Ambiguously Brown]].
** She wears [[Phenotype Stereotype|Jheri Curls]], for god's sake! Of course she's black!
** On the other hand, the cast ''is'' pretty diverse, so it's hard to call her ''token'' minority. For the record, both Hikaru and Misa are Japanese, while Minmay and Kaifun are Chinese. It's just that Japanese artists traditionally do not distinguish between Asian and Caucasian features, so it's somewhat difficult to notice.
** If anything she's an aversion - Japan has never had any social pressure for artificial racial diversity, and her being black has no real impact on the plot. If we had some race tropes equivalent of [[Invisible to Gaydar]], that would probably apply.
===Hayao Kakizaki===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Kakizaki include:}}
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]] (In the movie, where he is unceremoniously killed off after [[Tempting Fate]].)
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]
===Hikaru Ichijo===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Hikaru include:}}
* [[Ace Pilot]]
* [[Actual Pacifist]] - Subverted: In the episode ''Boobytrap'', Hikaru calls Roy a murderer after Roy boasts of his kill tally, but a few moments later it's implied that this is him venting his anger over Roy breaking his promise to return to the air circus. Hikary soon joins the UN Spacy with what appear to be few moral qualms, mostly to impress Lynn Minmay.
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[Otaku]] - While not one himself, his use of the over-polite honorific version of "you" early in the series is thought now to be the origin of the term.
* [[The Other Darrin]] - Due to the death of his original seiyuu, Arihiro Hase, in 1996, in all subsequent appearances, he is voiced by [[Kenji Nojima]].
* [[Vic Mignogna]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
===Lynn Kaifun===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Kaifun include:}}
* [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Martial Pacifist]]: A pacifist who [[I Know Karate|knows kung-fu]], but only uses defensive moves.
* [[Soapbox Sadie]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
===Lynn Minmay===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Minmay include:}}
* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]
* [[Break the Cutie]]
* [[Damsel in Distress]] - ''Many'' times.
* [[Heroic BSOD]] - In [[The Movie]]
* [[Idol Singer]] - And HOW!{{context}}<!-- I don't know. How? -->
** [[Glamorous Wartime Singer]]
* {{spoiler|[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] (when it's fully clear that Hikaru loves Misa, Minmay steps aside willingly and stays friends with them)}}
* [[Naive Everygirl]]
* [[Princess Curls]]
* [[Self-Made Man|Self
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Minmay" or "Minmei"?
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
===Maximillian Jenius===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Max include:}}
* [[Ace Pilot]] - He's the best pilot in the show. This is acknowledged in games that have pilot stats; Max typically has high stats and occasionally special bonuses on top of it. In ''Macross Ace/Ultimate Frontier'', Max (both younger and older version of him) has the highest (initial) stats out of any pilot in any Macross era except his "Vitality" stat.
** [[Super Robot Wars Alpha]] Gaiden uses a different way to put this trope. Overall, Max stats is worse than Fokker, however he and Millia are the only Macross pilots that posess the Awakening seishin, signifying their ace pilot status.
* [[Beta Couple]] - With Millia.
* [[Chris Patton]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Covert Pervert]] - What was he focusing on while fighting Millia at an arcade game? Her measurements.
* [[Hot Dad]] - [[Macross 7|And he stays that way]], [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|even decades later]].
Line 82 ⟶ 87:
* [[Megane]]
* [[Shipper on Deck]] (another Hikaru/Misa shipper)
* [[Show Hayami]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
===Misa Hayase===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Misa include:}}
* [[Bridge Bunny]]
* [[Broken Bird]]
*
* [[Mika Doi]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Monica Rial]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Kuudere]] ''and'' [[Tsundere]]
* [[Oba-san]] - Joked about early on.
*
===Roy Focker===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Roy include:}}
* [[Ace Pilot]]
* [[Akira Kamiya]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
** [[Talking to Himself]] (With [[Getter Robo|Ryouma Nagare]], [[Gaiking|Sanshiro Tsuwabaki]], [[Daimos|Kazuya Ryuuzaki]] and [[Raideen|Akira Hibiki]] in the [[Super Robot Wars Alpha]] series. Better yet, it's possible to put all but one of them (The squad limit is 4 mecha) into the same squad in ''Alpha 3''.) {{context|reason=Is this about Macross or SRW? If the latter, it should be moved to that work page}}
* [[Big Brother Mentor]] - To Hikaru
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] - Actually a toned-down [[Truth in Television]] version of this trope, particularly in the movie, where he actually shows up to rescue Hikaru and Minmay ''blind drunk'' and still proceeds to kick Zentraedi backside. In the TV show, Claudia mentions how once Roy shot down five enemy fighters with a raging hangover.
Line 108 ⟶ 114:
* [[Handsome Lech]]
* [[Secretly Dying]]: [[Fridge Logic|How did he not get blood all over Claudia's couch]]?

'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by these characters include:}}
* [[Bridge Bunny]] - The originals!
* [[Hiromi Tsuru]] - Kim {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Meganekko]]/[[Nerd Glasses]] - Vanessa
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]] - Kim and Shammy
==Zentradi==
* Applying to all: [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] - Their names were intentionally chosen to be difficult to pronounce with the Japanese phoneme set, so any romanization of those names is approximate at best.
===Britai/Breetai Kridanik===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Britai include:}}
* [[Badass]]: In the smackdown mentioned below, He destroyed a Valkyrie ''with his bare hands''. Better yet, he also survived having said [[Transforming Mecha]] ''Blow-up in his face.''
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|Britai Can Breathe In Space]] - after being sucked out of his flagship into hard vacuum, Britai seems able to walk on the ship's exterior with no problems and re-enters the ship in time to lay a smackdown to Hikaru and the rest of the pilots.
Line 128 ⟶ 136:
* [[Heel Face Turn]] - No small thanks to having the longest exposure to Protoculture/the heroes.

'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Exedore include:}}
* [[The Comically Serious]]
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]] - Original incarnation-only (would later be retconned for the below)
Line 136 ⟶ 145:
** [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in the later series by saying that he was suffering brain cancer from the repeated micro/macronization processes and so had to change his form drastically for some reason.
* [[Shorter Means Smarter]] - One of the smaller Zentradi characters and serves as advisor/historian.
===Golg Boddole Zer/Golg Bodolza===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Bodolza include:}}
* [[Big Bad]]
* {{spoiler|[[Final Solution]]}} - His solution to dealing with the "miclones".
* [[Hollywood Cyborg]] (He is nothing more then a cyborg computer in the movie)
* [[Large and In Charge]] (easily the largest Zentradi seen on the show)
===Quamzin/Kamjin Kravshera===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Kamjin include:}}
* [[Bad Boss]]: He isn't called "Ally Killer" for jokes.
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[The Brute]]
Line 154 ⟶ 165:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]
* [[The Masochism Tango]]:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]
===Warera, Rori, and Konda===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by these characters include:}}
* [[Punny Name]]: Warera-Rori-Konda = ''Warera [[Lolicon]] da!'' = "We are pedophiles!"
* [[Big, Thin, Short Trio]] - Warera, Konda, and Rori, respectively
* Bishonen - Konda, somewhat [[Depending on the Artist]]

Line 187 ⟶ 200:
* [[High Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Hot Amazon]]
* [[Hot Mom]] - Like Max, [[Macross 7|she stays that way]], [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|even decades later]]. Even more amazing when you consider that, by ''[[Macross 7]]'''s time, she's given birth '''
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]] - She was defeated by Max at an arcade...after winning three CASES of coins from the machine.
* [[Luci Christian]] {{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training]] - She can operate planes and mecha just fine. [[Lethal Chef|Cooking?]] [[Hilarity Ensues|Not so much]].
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
