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 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
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).

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]]: 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".
Line 36 ⟶ 39:
* [[Evil Twin]]: [http://gallery.gt-forum.com/d/5716-1/Beowulf.jpg Beowulf].
* [[Expy]]: Has two: Reiji Arisu of ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'' and Haken Browning of ''[[Endless Frontier/Characters|Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier]]''.
** 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]].
Line 45 ⟶ 48:
** He's not the only person who can ''pilot'' the Alt: he's the only person who can use it ''effectively''.
* [[Gatling Good]]: Alt Eisen Riese's Chaingun.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Did this to Sanger: ''[[
* [[Gut Feeling]]: Kyosuke has good instincts and his "hunches" tend to be spot on. Notably in ''Original Generation 2'', he suspected Lamia was [[The Mole]] within minutes of meeting her, and correctly guessed she was working for a third-party.
** Back in the first ''Original Generation'', he also suspected that {{spoiler|Ingram}} was a traitor.
Line 85 ⟶ 88:
== 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]]: She'll usually flirt with anyone, regardless if you're an alien, homicidal maniac, old enough to be her grandfather, young enough to be her daughter, male, female, etc. However, she'll never go the full distance with them because of her [[Single-Target Sexuality|devotion to Kyosuke]]. [[Fanon]], on the other hand, [[Bi the Way|likes to say otherwise]]...
** [[Fan-Preferred Couple]], [[If It's You It's Okay]]: Due to a particular comment, it's not uncommon to see an Excellen x [[Super Robot Wars Alpha/Characters|Viletta Vadim]] pairing, thanks to Excellen stating she'd make an exception for the latter. Then again, most fans will practically ship Excellen [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|with anyone and anything]].
Line 102 ⟶ 106:
* [[Beam Spam]]: Specialty of the Weiss and Rein Weiss.
** [[Super Speed]]: Particularly the Rein; its attack animations depict it as if it were in [[Flash Step|multiple places at once]]. Trope fully demonstrated in its debut for ''The Inspector''.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: A rare female protagonist example, though she mixes this with [[
* [[
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In her [[Damsel in Distress]] role. Doubles as [[Fighting Your Friend]].
* [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]: Note that while Excellen's a bonafide [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]], she has all the elements of the "gentle girl": genuine affections, patience and emotional support for the "brooding boy".
Line 120 ⟶ 124:
** 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]]: [[The Tease|Teasing]], [[Innocent Innuendo|innuendo]], [[Stocking Filler|stockings]], [[Playboy Bunny|wearing a bunny suit]] simply for the guys' viewing pleasure, swimwear, loads of hinted [[Les Yay]], wearing only a bath towel while walking around the battleship...yeah...
** 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]]: This alone from the end credits of [http://i54.tinypic.com/vcwh7o.jpg episode 19] (''slightly [[NSFW]]'') for ''The Inspectors'' invokes [[Naughty Tentacles]], [[Clothing Damage]] and [[Screw Yourself]]...ALL without the fandom doing it, but the development staff for the anime, instead.
* [[The Nicknamer]]
Line 145 ⟶ 149:
== 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 151 ⟶ 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|Killing the Einst kills her...but then, in Original Generation Gaiden...}}
** {{spoiler|[[No One Could Survive That]]: She floats around space as as a soul, then fuses with Axel temporarily and gets her body and mech back in full later.}}
Line 166 ⟶ 171:
** [[Creepy Child]]: Depending on who you ask, the anime might extend to this, too.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The Persoenlichkeit's strongest attack involves her familiars pinning down its target. Alfimi gets up close and personal, unsheathes the Lichkeit's katana and stabs the living shit out of it. Skewering motions make the sight of the attack painful, until you realize [[Time Stands Still]] during the attack, meaning the target isn't even feeling anything until ''afterwards''.
* [[
** {{spoiler|1=Try
*** 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].
* [[Perky Female Minion]]: First for the Einst, {{spoiler|then she becomes Axel's}}.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Arguably, Kyosuke, {{spoiler|but by ''Original Generation Gaiden'', Alfimi's been hanging around Axel the entire time and decides to go away with him. She even lampshades it by stating she's the "only one who understands Axel". Make of ''that'' what you will}}.
Line 177 ⟶ 182:
** 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"]].
* [[Token
* [[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.
