Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
== Kyosuke Nanbu (Voiced by [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]) ==
[[File:kyosuke.jpg|frame|You'll be seeing him and his derivatives...'''[[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|A LOT]]'''.]]
{{quote|''[[Catch Phrase|"I don't mind betting on tough odds!"]]''}}
Debuts in the lowly ''Compact 2'', but [[Breakout Character|proved popular enough]] his game gets updated into ''Impact'' and becomes another protagonist for the first ''Original Generation'', though his route becomes [[Canon Discontinuity|non-canon]] (the second half of it, anyways). Kyosuke's [[The Stoic|grumpy]] with a bad life-or-death gambling habit and takes war rather seriously. His partner's the extremely cheery [[Ms. Fanservice|Excellen]] [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|Browning]], which somehow makes up a good foil for his stoicism, for a good reason: without her, he may as well become ''too'' grumpy like his [[Evil Twin]] [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Beowulf]] in the [[Super Robot Wars
At first he's a new recruit to [[Super Robot Wars Alpha/Characters|Sanger Zonvolt's]] ATX Team, but after Sanger's [[Face Heel Turn]], he takes leadership of the team and proves himself to be [[Took a Level
Kyosuke pilots the very bulky [[Real Robot Genre]] [http://images.wikia.com/superrobotwars/images/7/7c/Alteisen.png Alt Eisen] and its upgrade [http://images.wikia.com/superrobotwars/images/3/37/Alteisen_Riese.jpg the Alt Eisen Riese], all that adheres to the [[Rule of Cool]] (so heavy it needs a Tesla Drive to stand up, and he's the only one who can use the Alt).
▲At first he's a new recruit to [[Super Robot Wars Alpha/Characters|Sanger Zonvolt's]] ATX Team, but after Sanger's [[Face Heel Turn]], he takes leadership of the team and proves himself to be [[Took a Level In Badass|equally as badass as Sanger in the role]]. He pretty much becomes the "leader guy" after the ATX and SRX Teams merge into one, eventually bringing Sanger back to the team... unofficially. His biggest contribution in ''Original Generation 2'' is during the war against the [[Super Robot Wars/Characters/Classic|Inspectors]] and the Shadow-Mirror, wherein he becomes [[The Rival]] to [[Super Robot Wars Advance/Characters|Axel Almer]]. He's also sort of targeted by the Einst, especially Alfimi, but he and Excellen manages to persuade her and kick the crap out of her boss. ''Original Generation Gaiden'' has Kyosuke suffer [[Heroic BSOD]] for three times, due to his apparent failure to protect his friend {{spoiler|[[Super Robot Wars Advance/Characters|Lamia Loveless]]}}. Thankfully, {{spoiler|Axel}} (who by this time gets a [[Heel Face Turn]]) manages to set him straight after a [[Dynamic Entry]] rescue. As of ''[[Another Century's Episode|Another Century's Episode: R]]'', {{spoiler|he and [[Super Robot Wars Alpha/Characters|Ryusei Date]] have been teleported to who knows where}}. Fortunately, he will return for the upcoming ''Second Original Generation''.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Kyosuke include:}}
▲Kyosuke pilots the very bulky [[Real Robot Genre]] [http://images.wikia.com/superrobotwars/images/7/7c/Alteisen.png Alt Eisen] and its upgrade [http://images.wikia.com/superrobotwars/images/3/37/Alteisen_Riese.jpg the Alt Eisen Riese], all that adheres to the [[Rule of Cool]] (so heavy it needs a Tesla Drive to stand up, and he's the only one who can use the Alt). They embody these tropes:
* [[Ace Custom]]:
* [[Ace Pilot]] (With the heavy-hitting Alt, Kyosuke most definitely is a "Steamroller")▼
▲* [[Ace Custom]] (Played with: the Alt Eisen's a [[Flawed Prototype]], intended to be next-generation Gespenst MK III but it's bulk, speed, and unorthodox weapons rendered it too clumsy and impractical to be put into mass-production. The only model produced had been gathering dust in a hanger, with the Alt's mechanical designer about to scrap it, until Kyosuke's piloting abilities were noticed. Since he proved to be such a good match for it, the higher-ups decided to let him keep it, turning it into this trope)
** Heads into [[Meaningful Name]]: translated loosely, Alt Eisen is German for "old/scrap iron".
** Note the [[Mid-Season Upgrade]], Alt Eisen Riese ("Old/Scrap Iron ''Giant''"), is more impractical: it's so heavy it needs a Tesla Drive (a part normally used to make mechs and ships fly) to even ''stand up''. That being said, it's specifically tailored for Kyosuke to use (he even had a hand in developing it), ultimately making it a true [[Ace Custom]].
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]:
** Note the Riese lets you use it twice in a scenario (excluding resupply via a teammate or battleship).
** In-universe, the Alt Eisen ''IS'' this trope: see [[Ace Custom]].
* '''[[Badass]]''':
** [[Badass Normal]]:
** Out of the numerous [[Badass]] originals, he's considered among the top tier, right alongside ''Sanger freaking Zonvolt'', which is really saying something.
* [[Bandaged Babe|Bandaged Dude]]:
* [[Born Lucky]]:
** [[No One Could Survive That]], [[Made of Iron]]:
** [[I Like Those Odds]], [[Million-to-One Chance]], [[The Gambler]]:
** [[Lampshaded]] after he survived the Wildraubtier transformation failure:
{{quote|'''Kyosuke''': "...I managed to survive... [[Foreshadowing|again]]."}}
* [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]:
** They did it again in episode 7 of ''The Inspectors'', though this is entirely justified due to the words "Shout Now".
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]
* [[Combination Attack]]:
* '''''[[Determinator]]''''':
{{quote|'''Kyosuke''': "Stop me... if you can."}}
** [[Determined Expression]]:
* [[Evil Twin]]:
* [[Expy]]:
** The latter doesn't really count, as he's nothing like Kyosuke, not even in looks, and to boot, his entire storyline is that he's {{spoiler|a W-Series model human clone of [[Super Robot Wars
** Still played straight in Haken's stoicism (albeit, a ''brief'' one), [[Leitmotif|gambling habits/references]] (more to Kyosuke, even!), a main weapon with a pile-driver spike on one end, leadership qualities and generalization he's the token ''protagonist'' of a game where the director was ''also'' the one in charge of ''Impact'' and ''Namco X Capcom''.
** Resident [[Little Miss Badass]] Vita from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' shout many references to the Alt Eisen: her [[Instant Armor|barrier jacket]] is predominantly red and black (with some white highlights), her [[Empathic Weapon|armed device]] is called "Graf ''Eisen''" which, while a hammer, functions as a barrier-piercing attack with a pike by spending cartridges and also has the power to attack her enemies with tons of iron balls. Also, [[The Worf Effect|she gets trounced by new characters quite frequently]].
** In-universe, as of the ''Second Original Generation'', [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Ariel Org's]] Flickerei Geist from ''Real Robot Regiment''.
* [[Field Promotion]]:
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble|Five Temperament Ensemble]]:
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]:
** He's not the only person who can ''pilot'' the Alt: he's the only person who can use it ''effectively''.
* [[Gatling Good]]:
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]:
* [[Gut Feeling]]:
** Back in the first ''Original Generation'', he also suspected that {{spoiler|Ingram}} was a traitor.
** [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Radha]] once asked Excellen if he was a [[Psychic Powers|Psychodriver]] like the characters from the [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha series]].
* [[Heroic BSOD]], due to
* [[Hot-Blooded]]:
* [[Ignore the Fanservice]]:
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]:
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]:
** In ''The Inspector'' anime, the Riese was able to ''physically overpower'' Axel's [[Super Robot]] classed Soulgain.
* [[Leitmotif]]:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]:
** Justified in-universe: the Alt was specifically designed to charge into enemy lines and for blitzing strategies, hence it's heavy armor and high acceleration. Incidentally, this is also why it's so difficult to pilot: it's set up for high-risk high-reward combat strategies (which, come to think of it, [[Fridge Brilliance|fits Kyouske's personalty like a glove]]).
* [[More Dakka]]:
** Interestingly, most of the Alt's weapons are classified as melee-based, including its "Claymore" attack, which involves launching dozens if not hundreds of explosive giant-robot-sized balls.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]:
* [[Official Couple]]:
* [[Patrick Stewart Speech]]:
* [[
* [[Rule of Cool]]:
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]:
* [[The Stoic]]:
* [[Tranquil Fury]]:
** Kyosuke's a master of this trope. He '''never''' looses his composure when his [[Berserk Button|buttons]] are pressed and always stays focused on the task at hand; hell, he just becomes ''more'' determined to beat the crap out of the stupid bastard who pushed those buttons in the first place. A good example comes from ''Original Generation'' after a Federation officer turns traitor and abducts {{spoiler|[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Princess Shine Hausen]]}}, then flees while a large enemy force attacks the heroes' base. Kyosuke orders his allies to focus on dealing with the more immediate threat rather than chase the kidnappers, prompting this exchange:
{{quote|'''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Katina Tarask]]''': "He's cold."<br />
Line 80 ⟶ 83:
'''Ryusei''': "No. I've never seen him this angry before." }}
*** Kyosuke then [[Heroic Resolve|silently powers himself up]] [[Implacable Man|with every possible buff in the game]], prompting {{spoiler|Ingram}} to note that [[This Is Gonna Suck|it worked a little TOO well]]. The battle doesn't last much longer after that.
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]:
* [[The Worf Effect]]:
** This trope's more or less enforced: Kyosuke [[Genre Savvy|knew he would be fighting stronger opponents]], thus he ''wanted'' to avert this earlier with a major overhaul to the Alt. Unfortunately, he was consistently sortied into battle, which didn't give the Alt any time to rest. It wasn't until Axel tore the machine apart the Riese was greenlit for approval.
== Excellen Browning (Voiced by [[Yuko Mizutani]]) ==
[[File:excellen.jpg|frame|I have a [[Playboy Bunny|bunny suit]] in my stash. [
{{quote|''"Cheer up, nobody says you suck...even though you do."''}}
This...err...''extremely'' cheery [[Ms. Fanservice]] is partner and complement to Kyosuke, and his girlfriend to boot. Majorly flirty, loves to tease, [[
Excellen rides the sniping bot [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og1/ptx-007-03c.jpg Weissritter] and it gets upgraded/mutated into the [http://images.wikia.com/superrobotwars/images/0/00/Rein_Weiss_Ritter.jpg Rein Weissritter].
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Excellen include:}}
* [[Anything That Moves]]:
** [[Fan-Preferred Couple]], [[If It's You It's Okay]]:
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Adorable]]:
** {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal]]}}
** [[Badass in Distress]]:
* [[Baka]]:
** Then again, she ''likes'' [[Obfuscating Stupidity|playing like an idiot]]...
* [[Beam Spam]]:
** [[Super Speed]]:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]:
* [[
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]:
* [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]:
* [[Combination Attack]]
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Covert Pervert]]:
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Guy, Junior]]}}:
* [[Expy]]:
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble|Five Temperament Ensemble]]:
* [[Gainaxing]]:
▲* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble|Five Temperament Ensemble]] (In the ATX Team, Excellen would be the "Sanguine")
▲* [[Gainaxing]] (A mild degree of it in ''Original Generations'', gratuituously in ''The Inspectors'')
* [[Leitmotif]]:
▲* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]}} ( {{spoiler|More like 20% human hybrid}})
▲* [[Leitmotif]] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrOySCZrNMU&feature=related ''Hakugin no Datenshi'' (Literally "(Pure) Silver Fallen Angel"], though title has also been translated as "Platinum Luficer" and "White Fallen Knight")
* [[Malaproper]]
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]:
** Most will go for the latter instead for two reasons: {{spoiler|it's the freaking Shin Getter}} and getting the Rein disables Rampage Ghost.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]:
** She's even been on [http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/c21405fccd38044bf1bc98213a1cbc84.jpg Japanese pillows endorsed by Banpresto]{{Dead link}} (maybe [[NSFW]]).
** [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]:
* [[The Nicknamer]]▼
* [[No One Could Survive That]]:
** Though it's for the better, since {{spoiler|if she wasn't around by his side like in the Shadow-Mirror universe, Kyosuke would end up turning into his [[Evil Twin]], [[Omnicidal Maniac|a cold, bitter and homicidal shadow of his original self hell-bent on destroying the world]]}}
* <s>[[Cold Sniper|Cold]]</s> [[Friendly Sniper|REALLY REALLY COLORFUL Sniper]]
** She does exhibit a variation of the [[Cold Sniper]] briefly: {{spoiler|when several characters are tending to [[Super Robot Wars Alpha/Characters|Aya Kobayashi]] after Ingram shot her down, almost all of them are ready to lie to her face about his [[Face Heel Turn]]. When Aya wakes up, Excellen jumps in before the others get to speak, and bluntly tells her Ingram hasn't only betrayed them, but he was the one who shot down the R-3. Everyone's shocked the primarily jovial and light-hearted Excellen would be so outright cold and break Aya's heart}}.
* [[Over and Under the Top]]:
* [[The Power of Love]]:
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]
* [[Seme]]:
* [[Shipper on Deck]]:
* [[Shout-Out]]:
* [[Stocking Filler]]:
* [[Swiss Army Gun]]:
* [[The Three Faces of Eve]]:
▲* [[The Nicknamer]]
** In a rare ''second'' example, out of her and expies Xiaomu and Kaguya, Excellen ''still'' takes the Seductress role.▼
▲* [[The Power of Love]] (Played with: Excellen names Rampage Ghost the "[[G Gundam|Love Love Attack]]")
▲* [[The Tease]] (Will hit on guys AND girls)
▲* [[The Three Faces of Eve]] (She makes up the "Three Beautiful Sisters", with her as the Seductress)
▲** In a rare ''second'' example, out of her and expies Xiaomu and Kaguya, Excellen ''still'' takes the Seductress role
** And in an even rarer ''third'' example, she's the Seductress '''again''' out of her and her [[Cloning Blues|clones]]. Good god, is there anything this woman isn't??
*** Dead...well, not anymore, at least
* [[Witty Banter]], [[You Fight Like a Cow]]:
** Depending on which unit she's in and the attack that's used (re: Alt Eisen's Revolver Stake), she'll resort to [[Double Entendre]].
== Einst Alfimi (Voiced by [[Yuko Mizutani]]) ==
[[File:alfimi.jpg|frame]]
Let's say sometime during her earlier days, Excellen had an accident in a shuttle plane that would've otherwise killed her, were it not for Kyosuke. And let's just say for a brief time, before she was [[Deader Than Dead]], she was hauled off by the Einsts, who proceed to [[We Can Rebuild Him|rebuild her]]. But why stop there? Why not [[Cloning Blues|create a clone out of her]], name it Alfimi, but instead of being a [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]] or [[
Anyway, years later, the meddling Einst declare humanity needs a reboot, and they need their own [[Adam and Eve Plot|Adam and Eve]] to make the planet grow again. Thus Alfimi's sent out to capture Excellen and persuade the "Adam" to agree to the Einst's plans. Instead, they pull out their ''own'' persuasion for Alfimi to break out on her own; [[Heel Face Turn|...it works]] and the bad Einsts are destroyed. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|since she's tied down to the Einsts, destroying them means destroying yourself, but at least she was thankful she made friends...}}
Line 153 ⟶ 155:
{{spoiler|...at least, until she suddenly ''doesn't want to die''. In short, moments before vanishing for good, she comes across Axel Almer. Alfimi merges with him until her body regenerates, then wakes up when the new breed of Einsts, the Jetzt, starts doing a little havoc of their own. Out pops Alfimi alive and well, with her machine to boot, tasked with hunting down the Jetzt and putting them back to sleep. When the deed's done, she follows Axel, politely refusing to rejoin her old friends. And then she gets kidnapped and lands in the [[Endless Frontier]]...}}
Alfimi pilots the very scary-looking Einst mecha called Persoenlichkeit (shortened into "Lichkeit" for the English release because of space restrictions).
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Alfimi include:}}
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]:
** {{spoiler|[[No One Could Survive That]]:
* [[Cosmic Horror]]:
* [[Expy]]:
* [[Facial Markings]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Humanity Is Infectious]]
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]:
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]:
* [[Leitmotif]]:
* [[Moe Moe]]:
** [[Creepy Child]]:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:
* [[
* [[Perky Female Minion]] (First for the Einst, {{spoiler|then she becomes Axel's}})▼
** {{spoiler|1=Try
▲* [[OT 3]] (You think Kyosuke will just settle for Excellen and not both her ''and'' a loli clone? Fanworks say you're wrong)
*** Additionally, [[Fanon]] took this and ran with it; it's [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/186538/ unbelievably] [https://web.archive.org/web/20160304072855/http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/3742c7bd83dcc6747a2fe083ecd17ab9.jpg adorable].▼
▲** {{spoiler|1=Try OT4...of sorts: before her return in Original Generation Gaiden, there existed a LOT of fanart featuring the "Nanbu family" and their very, very cute twin daughters. See [[Dead Guy, Junior]] for more}}

* [[Ship Tease]]:
**
* [[Speech Impediment]]:
** It's made more jarring considering who she's a clone of.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]:
** Technically, it's '''both'''.
** Given the [[Theme Naming]], it's probably Alchemie. [[Gratuitous German|SRW's in love with the German language. Also, Persoenlichkeit is German for "personality"]].

▲* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] (Even when your origin is an orange-blonde [[Ms. Fanservice]]...)
== EINST/JETZT ==
The antagonists of Compact 2/Impact. Said to be have around since the beginning of time, they act like the guardians of the universe and eliminate those they consider to be a threat to the natural order of the universe and recreate life from the ashes. It just so happens they pick the universe where our heroes live in: ''bad idea''. They speak telepathically and only Kyosuke and Excellen can hear them. A source of [[Epileptic Trees]] arise due to the Einst being responsible for {{spoiler|Kyosuke's [[Evil Twin]] Beowulf in the Shadow-Mirror dimension}}. It also makes an appearance in ''[[Endless Frontier]]''. In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', they come back as the Jetzt.

* [[A God Am I]] (Subverted with Neue Regisseur: when it explains the Einst's role, the heroes ask if it claims to be God, which Neue denies. {{spoiler|Wahrschein Lichkeit}} of ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' didn't get the memo, and compares itself to "a Creator" with its last words (ironically, it ''did'' create the Endless Frontier))▼
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]
