Tales of Graces/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 57:

* {{spoiler|[[Take a Third Option]]: How Asbel deals with Lambda without having Sophie sacrifice herself}}.

* [[Team Dad]]: Gets labeled the "Dad" of the team by Pascal. Begins to fit into the role due to character development. Also, as an adult, acts as a father figure to Sophie.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Played with. He got his level in [[Badass]] by training at the Knight Academy, but everyone around him says that he hasn't changed a bit (much to his chagrin). The game is about Asbel coming to terms with the fact that what makes you [[Badass]] is not how much ass you can kick, but what you ''do''. {{spoiler|This is what allows him to ultimately subdue Lambda where all other attempts failed: instead of using force to beat Lambda into submission, he allows Lambda to live through him and see that [[Humans Are Special]]}}.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Curry.

* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: What happens in the first two or three hours of the game? Asbel manages to make two new friends (Sophie and prince Richard), and saves the prince's life when Bryce comes to assassinate him, also steps in and saves his escorts' lives. What happens? {{spoiler|His dad constantly yells at him. Sophie sacrifices herself to save everyone else, and his dad blames it ''on HIM''. He doesn't get to see Richard again because of his social status (Combined with the [[Fridge Horror]] since not a few hours before this event, Richard told him his father was ''poisoned'', not ill). His little brother is sent to live with another family, and then he runs away from home finally.}}

Line 77:

* [[Action Girl]]

* {{spoiler|[[Attack Animal]]: She was created to destroy Lambda.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Back ~~From~~ the Dead]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]}}

* [[Badass]]: Ah, Sophie... so badass, yet so [[Badass Adorable|adorable]]...

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]

Line 156:

* [[Magic Knight]]: A strange variation of. He uses his ''guns'' to "fire" his magic at targets. Yes, it's awesome.

* [[Megane]]

* [[Memetic Badass]]: Examined in-universe. Hubert is well-known among the Strahtan people and respected by most of its military, and has [[Took a Level In Badass|taken by far the biggest level in badass]] of the group. He also tries very, ''very'' hard to act like the single coolest person on the planet at all times. However, once he becomes playable, it turns out that his badassery is just how he likes to appear to others. Deep down, he's still the same compassionate and easily-spooked child he used to be... and a ''colossal'' geek.

* [[Money Fetish]]: He even gets several titles for it.

* [[Nerd]]: He's a fan of Efinea's equivalent of the [[Power Rangers]] and as revealed in a skit, his fighting style was inspired by a comic book he read as a child.

Line 168:

* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: Apparently {{spoiler|he loses on purpose during his rematch with Asbel}}. [[Fridge Brilliance|That might explain why it's so much easier]].

* [[Tsundere]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: He was quite cowardly as a child. {{spoiler|The incident with Lambda changed all that, though.}}

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: He was quite cowardly as a child. {{spoiler|The incident with Lambda changed all that, though.}}

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: This as well. ''Big time''.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Rice Omelettes.

Line 212:

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]

* [[Team Mom]]: Pascal even lampshades it in a scene.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Whether you like her or not, the fact that she goes from being an [[Ill Girl]] to a [[Tsundere]] with knives and lightning magic after being [[Touched by Vorlons]] is pretty damn awesome.

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Whether you like her or not, the fact that she goes from being an [[Ill Girl]] to a [[Tsundere]] with knives and lightning magic after being [[Touched by Vorlons]] is pretty damn awesome.

* [[Touched by Vorlons]]: How her powers manifested.

** [[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.}}

Line 333:

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with his ''Tales of Graces f'' costume. It could only be more fruity if it was florescent pink.

* [[Badass]]: Watch any of his anime cutscenes. The proof is in the pudding.

* {{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.}}

* {{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 with Fire]], most of his physical artes had a wind theme.

Line 369:

* {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Lambda acts like this at first. Then [[It Got Worse]].}}

* [[Technical Pacifist]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Between his childhood and adulthood, like everybody else. Lampshaded by Cedric just before the fight with him. {{spoiler|Turns out that's because Lambda's in control.}}

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Between his childhood and adulthood, like everybody else. Lampshaded by Cedric just before the fight with him. {{spoiler|Turns out that's because Lambda's in control.}}

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Natto, much to everyone else's dismay.

Line 452:

Richard's power-hungry uncle. He murders Richard's father- the king of Windol- to usurp the throne for himself, then sends his soldiers to assassinate the young prince so that he cannot inherit the throne.

* {{spoiler|[[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: His Cedric 2.0 ver-ver-ver-ver-version is pretty flawed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed and random.}}

* {{spoiler|[[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: His Cedric 2.0 ver-ver-ver-ver-version is pretty flawed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed-ed and random.}}

* [[Always Second Best]]: The reason why he murders his brother for the throne.
