Line 120:
* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Street Fighter]]. Don't believe us? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCHxUggfD9E Take a look for yourself].
** As you can imagine, it didn't take the internet long to turn ''that'' into a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rITyblUAR_g meme].
** [[Tales of Eternia
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Crab omelettes.
* [[Waif Fu]]
Line 145:
* [[Double Weapon]] and [[Guns Akimbo]]: He uses a double-bladed sword that can turn into a pair of handguns. It also [[The Archer|turns into a bow]] [[So Cool Its Awesome|and shoots energy arrows]].
* [[Duel Boss]]: Twice. The first time, it's a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]. {{spoiler|The second time, it's implied he let Asbel win}}.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Has the highest attack power out of all playable characters, but his defense is rather low.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Hubert's second fighting style.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: [[You Should Know This Already]], but Hubert will kick your ass in Lhant no matter what you do.
* [[Jerkass]]: Kicked Asbel's ass out of Lhant (then took it for himself), exiles him then goes to disrespect their mother.
** [[Jerk
** [[Guile Hero]]: Eventually [[Defrosting Ice Queen|turns]] as one with each moment he's in Asbel's group.
* [[Likes Older Women]]: Borderline case. There's a bit of [[Ship Tease]] between him and [[Cloudcuckoolander|Pascal]], and she's five years older than him. Amped [[Up to Eleven]] in the Future Arc.
Line 171:
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: This as well. ''Big time''.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Rice Omelettes.
* [[Used to Be
* [[The Unfavorite]]: He believes he is this, since {{spoiler|his parents sent him away to Strata when he was just ten.}}

Line 204:
* [[Ill Girl]]: Has a congenital heart disease that leaves her with a weak constitution. She gets better due to the incident that also granted her healing powers.
* [[I Will Wait for You]]: [[Deconstructed]]. Those seven years of waiting have made her bitter and resentful towards Asbel since it took him so long to return. He didn't even write to her.

* [[Jerk
* [[Knife Nut]]: She throws knives which she pulls out of a [[Hammerspace]].
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Usually plays one in skits.

* [[Touched
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: She only gained her healing spells after {{spoiler|Sophie placed part of herself inside Asbel, Hubert and herself. Now, what is Sophie's only kind of magic? Healing.}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Grilled Chicken.
Line 245:
* [[Hates Baths]]: Its not like she hates to bathe, its more that she gets so into her research that she keeps forgetting to take one.

* [[Elemental Powers]]: Specifically she gets [[Blow You Away|wind]], [[Making a Splash|water]] and [[Playing

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Science-Related Memetic Disorder]]
Line 294:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Duel Boss]]: Optional, if you view a certain skit, between him and Asbel. Malik does it to see if Asbel is truly prepared to back up his talk about "protecting everyone." And indeed, if you lose, he gives Asbel a rather harsh [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Expy]]: This troper's first reaction to seeing Malik was "Man, he looks like [[Tales of the Abyss|Van]]. It's gotta be the goatee."
** [[Shout-Out|His Accel Mode is a series of kicks that seem]] [[Street Fighter|vaguely familiar...]]
Line 304:
* [[The Lancer]]: Tends to be the experienced and pragmatic voice to Asbel's idealism.
* [[Magic Knight]]: In that he is a mage who can defend himself with weapons rather than a weapon-fighter with magic.
* [[Name's the Same]]: "I told you, I'm not [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Malik]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series
* [[Older Than They Look]]
* [[Playing
* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]: He uses a [[Rule of Cool|boomerang sword]] in battle.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Literally.
** He has also gotten a very... [http://www.4gamer.net/games/088/G008879/20100326013/ special DLC costume.]
* [[Shipper
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: An odd case. He has high HP, but his defense is low.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]
Line 317:
* [[Troll]]: Among many things, he has a habit of telling the most blatant lies to Sophie with a straight face.
* [[Up to Eleven]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ekf1qkOMU0 Shinten Rekkuu Zankou Senpuu Messai Shinbatsu Kassatsugeki!]''
** This is a double subversion. Said Mystic Arte was previously owned by [[Tales of Destiny

Line 335:
* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|He is killed by a random [[Mook]] quite early on. Fortunately for Richard, Lambda's power kicks in and revives him. ''Un''fortunately for Richard, this allows Lambda to get a foothold in his psyche.}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|When someone betrays his trust. Thanks to Lambda's influence, his interpretation of a "betrayal" becomes incredibly loose}}.
* [[Blow You Away]]: Until the rerelease, which focuses him more on [[Playing

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|Though it isn't particularly good either...}}
** We can now add [[Playing
* {{spoiler|[[Deal
* {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]}}: {{spoiler|The infamous "TOMODACHI HUARGGGGGGGG" scene, where Richard believes that he has been abandoned to die by his friends. This, coupled with Lambda's possession, completes his [[Face Heel Turn]]}}.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: {{spoiler|Lambda's influence causes him to violently lash out at everything and everyone who slights him. It gets worse when Asbel tries to bring him back to his senses, as Richard interprets that as an act of betrayal from his first true friend}}.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: So damn much...
* [[Expy]]: [[Tales of Eternia
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* {{spoiler|[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: When he's ''posessed'' by Lambda.}}

* [[Royal Rapier]]: He's a prince {{spoiler|who becomes king later on after killing his uncle}} and uses rapiers in battle.
* {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger]]: Come ''f'', he'll become a permanent ally once Lambda is released from him.}}
* [[Shipper
* [[Something About a Rose]]: His Blast Calibers.
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]
Line 404:
* {{spoiler|1=[[Kill'Em All]] / [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: His original goal was to exact revenge on humanity; seeing them as an [[Always Chaotic Evil]] race of monsters. Ultimately deconstructed as Asbel points out how completely and ''utterly'' pointless the genocide of all living beings would be. This complete obliteration of this goal, along with a strange [[Worthy Opponent|respect]] for Asbel, is what causes Lambda to take him up on his offer of showing him that [[Humans Are Special|humans can be special]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Talking the Monster
* {{spoiler|[[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: This is ''exactly'' what caused his [[Start of Darkness]]. Lambda's only wish is to be treated as a person and not just an energy source. Being forced to take the form of an [[Eldritch Abomination]] didn't help matters, and eventually Lambda decides to turn this philosophy ''back'' on the humans}}.
Line 463:
* [[It's All About Me]]: "The throne of Windol is mine!" "The only one worthy of the throne is me!" "The kingdom is rightfully mine!" ... So, yeah.
* [[Large Ham|Moderate Ham]]: He [[Chewing the Scenery|chews the scenery]] a couple of times, but doesn't really go overboard. Shame.
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: Celric's first assassination attempt involved the use of a strong poison. {{spoiler|This would have succeeded if not for Richard's [[Deal
* [[Obviously Evil]]; It really couldn't be any more obvious if he huffed kittens before fighting you.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Sure, killing him was another sign {{spoiler|of Lambda taking further control}}, but there's no doubt the asshole after all he's done deserved what was coming to him.
* [[Playing

Line 500:
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: She can fire beams out of her hands. In one dungeon, they even chase you through the floor!
* [[Magic Knight]]
* {{spoiler|[[Me's a
* [[Mook Chivalry]]: {{spoiler|In the battle where you fight ten Little Queens in a row, only four of them- a number equal to the number of party members you have- attack you at once}}.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
Line 574:
Asbel and Hubert's father, who commanded great respect as the lord of the Lhant territory. {{spoiler|His death prompts Asbel to return home from the Knight Academy.}}
* [[Deal
* [[Irony]]: {{spoiler|He sends Hubert away to be adopted by the Oswells to avoid a dispute over the lordship of Lhant between Asbel and Hubert. Not only does Aston's death cause a dispute to happen anyway, but [[It Gets Worse|Hubert's vendetta against Aston for "abandoning him" fuels the conflict in the first place]]. Oops.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Posthumous Character]]}}
Line 586:
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: {{spoiler|Gets more heartbroken once Cheria hooks up with Asbel for good. Bailey shares the pain.}}
