Tsukihime/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

'''Spoilers abound!!''' Read at your own risk.

* [[Badass]]: {{spoiler|Nanaya.}} Period.

* [[Berserk Button]]: In Melty Blood, Yumizuka Satsuki's name is taboo for him. Also, Roa's very presence will invoke his killing intent instantly.

** The Tohno-gland, with the power to make insanely powerful, beautiful, troubled, and crazy women fall madly in love with him. Often times with heavy emphasis on the troubled and crazy. Many guys would probably kill for his position though.

*** Many guys would ''Be Killed'' in his position.

* [[Came Back Strong]]: It was being brought to the brink of death (and therefore closer to Akasha, the Ultimate Source), that allowed Shiki to perceive the Death of things with his eyes.

* [[Chick Magnet]]: Women ''flock'' to Shiki. The cause of this is speculated to be some sort of "Tohno gland", in case you were wondering what all the talk about that was for.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: once again, his Mystic Eyes

* [[Evil Eye]]: his defining ability; the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception allow him to perceive the nature of death as lines and dots over ''everything''. Basically, he can kill ''anything'' under Gaia with a fruit knife.

* [[Enemy Without]]: {{spoiler|Nanaya. In addition, TATARI creates a copy of Shiki Tohno to fight Ryougi in MBAA. That Shiki, while being more mellow and true to Shiki's personality, is not really hesitant to use his Eyes.}}

** He actually takes after Ryougi more than he seems. While his "default" persona is most similar to Kokutou, his "stoic" mode is very similar to Ryougi's personality. Interestingly, the way he behaves around Arihiko is rather similar to how Ryougi behaves around Kokutou.

* [[Future Badass]]: His possible future as [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/melty_blood_act_2/c007.8/13.html Satsujinki], who can assassinate Dead Apostles in [[HSQ|SECONDS]].

* [[The Grim Reaper]]: He's been called a "Shinigami" ("God of Death") twice. Once by Sion in Melty Blood and another time by Dust of Osiris in Actress Again.

* [[Harem Seeker]]: All the Type-Moon male leads seem to have far more love interests than they could possibly need, but Shiki tops them all...there is a reason [[Fan Nickname|the Tohno gland]] exists. Unlike Kokuto or Shirou, however, after Tsukihime itself Shiki seems to be going out of his way to keep all the girls around him as seen in both Kagetsu Tohya and the non canon Carnival Phantasm.

* [[Not Afraid to Die]]: As a result of an intimate relationship with death.

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: It takes Shiki a while to realize when a girl likes him, unless he's beat over the head with it.

* [[Reverse Grip]]: Once you see him reversing his grip on his knife, it means that {{spoiler|Nanaya}} is starting to take over.

** {{spoiler|Played with. The above holds true with the visual novel, but Shiki, in and out of Nanaya mode (and the Nanaya Shiki TATARI shadow) tend to swap grips depending on what suits them. His slashes tend to be reverse grip and his stabs tend to be normal grip in Melty Blood. Nanaya too.}}

* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Although he's been shown to have casual clothes in Tsukihime, in all subsequent media, he is only shown wearing his school uniform. Which is all well and good because frankly, he looks good in it and his casual clothes are hideous anyway.

* [[Sociopathic Hero]]: {{spoiler|his Nanaya personality.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Shiki Nanaya}}

* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet|Taking The Knife Stab]]: As a child, Shiki shielded Akiha from newly-inverted SHIKI's knife, and would have died if not for Akiha giving him half of her life force.}}

** [[Badass Princess]]

* [[Battle Aura]]: Either that or [[Pure Awesomeness]]. Whenever Arcueid faces down an enemy with the full intention of annihilating them, the atmosphere around her physically becomes more oppressive. Various people have described themselves as suffering actual physical pain merely from being the target of Arcueid's killing intent.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]

* [[Catgirl]]: Not canon but her Neko-Arc counterpart has made her often depicted in doujins as a cat girl during her more goofy moments. Some doujins straight up turns her into a catgirl. The fact that her canon personality is often compared to that of a cat likely also contributed.

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: Her original purpose

* [[Enemy Without]]: {{spoiler|When the TATARI creates a copy of Red Arcueid and lets her loose. Fortunately for the other characters and the world, he had to weaken her to avoid losing control.}}

* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Be very afraid if her eye color turns to this.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Many fans simply call her "Arc". This is just a shortening of her name but shortening of names could be counted as nicknames.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: Her Marble Phantasm allows her to reproduce any phenomenon found in nature. However, this is limited to what is actually possible in nature and thus she cannot pull the tricks of a Reality Marble. The metaphor used is that in a bag of 99 black marbles and a single white one, her power lets her always get the white marble. A Reality Marble turns them all white instead, which is an 'impossible' trick.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Heroic Willpower]]: After Shiki kills her, she's forced to resist her vampiric bloodlust on nothing more than her strength of will. It almost fails her several times, though. In the backstory too, as she's the only (known) True Ancestor to have retained her sanity after drinking blood.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Arc's naivety can result in very callous acts, ones she's not wholly aware are wrong. For example, asking her exhausted and dying familiar, Len, to give Shiki some nice dreams. She also has ''no'' concerns about killing ''anyone'' with her bare hands at the drop of a hat.

** There's also the time Shiki let her see his glasses when she became curious about them. She says she would have broken them (on a whim) but they were somehow constructed such that even Arcueid couldn't break them. It's [[Played for Laughs]] since she couldn't have gone through with it, but if she had...well, they're irreplaceable and the only thing preventing Shiki brain from frying from the strain of his [[Evil Eye]].

* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]

* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]: With Shiki, since they're the [[Official Couple]], due to their ''vastly'' different lifespans. Made worse by the fact that Shiki's lifespan is even shorter than normal humans. Given the circumstances at the end of Tsukihime, I doubt they would have much time together even if they do finally find peace. However, Arcueid mentions in several works that when Shiki gets close to death, she'd be tempted to turn him into a vampire to keep him alive. As she's shown to be willing to do this in the Ciel route... And finally, this may at least partially subverted as there are implications that Arcueid herself won't last nearly as long as she would have originally.

* [[Mood Swinger]]

** {{spoiler|Given that she's basically the strongest thing on the whole freaking planet, there wouldn't be much of a story if she wasn't conveniently nerfed. Also, Shiki would had never had chance in hell to score with her but that's secondary.}}

* [[Nice Girl]]: A sweet and friendly ray of sunshine who just ''happens'' to a vampire.

* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: Nanako; aka {{spoiler|the Seventh Holy Scripture}}

** Also, she works at a church, uses lots of blades as weapons, and hunts down vampires, even the ones in the protagonist roles. Sounds like [[Hellsing|Alexander Anderson]] to me!

* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Within]]: Ciel was taken over by Roa and became one of his incarnations, slaughtering her entire family and hometown.}}

* {{spoiler|[[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Born as a baker's daughter, all she wanted growing up was to take over daddy's business. Then look what happened.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Immortal Life Is Cheap]]: Ciel gets killed a good many times in her scenario in the original game.}}

* [[Male Gaze]]: Has the biggest ass of the cast (tied with Tokie Jinan), although this mostly makes her the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|butt]] of fat jokes.

* [[Meganekko]]: Arguably [[Invoked Trope|invoked]], since Ciel's eyesight is just fine and her whole school persona is mostly just a mask. Also [[The Glasses Come Off]].

* [[Nosy Neighbor|Nosy Sempai]]: Ciel masquerades as this.

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Averted late in her route. When she catches Shiki {{spoiler|being forcibly kissed by Arcueid, she punches out Arcueid rather than Shiki, and listens to his explanation, despite being seriously pissed at him.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|While her body is forever that of a teenager's, Ciel is actually 24 years old.}}

----

 

* [[Aggressive-Submissive]]: A very dominant young woman at first glance (almost creepily so early in her own route), she is actually waiting for Shiki to make the first move and turns into a total sub during the h-scene.

* [[Berserk Button]]: If you value your physical integrity, do NOT say she's flat-chested. (Though also see Flanderization below.)

* [[Cry Cute]]

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Laugh|Evil]] [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Do Vermilion Akiha's Last Arc in ''Actress Again'' to hear this.}}

* [[Flanderization]]: In Tsukihime, Akiha mentions that she's self-conscious about her flat chest during an [[Hentai|h-scene]]. In Kagetsu Tohya, this is turned into a [[Berserk Button]]. Doujin authors and other fanworks have since then run with the idea to the point of it becoming an [[Overused Running Gag]].

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Her hairband.

* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[If I Can't Have You]]: In Kohaku's path only.}}

* [[I Know Karate]]: She apparently picked up a few moves from her friend [[Title Drop|Tsukihime]] [[Muggles|Souka]], as demonstrated in the climax to the side story "A Story For The Evening."

* [[Blue Eyes]]: Blue-green.

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor|Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: At Shiki's welcoming party, she's the first casualty since she rarely drinks...even though she was drinking less heavily than anybody else. It eventually leads to a [[What Did I Do Last Night?]] moment for her and Shiki when [[Bedmate Reveal|he wakes up in bed with her]]. It turns out to have been perfectly innocent.

* [[Dandere]]: Shiki eventually encourages Hisui to open up {{spoiler|once he realizes she was the [[Genki Girl|energetic girl who played with him]] when they were young}}.

* [[Does Not Like Men]]: This seems to describe Hisui since she reacts badly to Shiki trying to touch her hand. {{spoiler|It's eventually revealed she reacts this way because she wanted to keep herself "pure" in honor of her sister's sacrifice for her.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Genki Girl]]: She was actually supposed to be this before... well... things went to Hell. She gets it back in her Good Ending though.}}

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Wears a bonnet.

* [[Hikikomori]]: Hisui hasn't actually left the Tohno Mansion grounds in ''years'' {{spoiler|since she learned the truth of Kohaku's abuse.}} When she does so in Kagetsu Tohya, she's clearly very uneasy in crowds.

* [[I Feel Angry]]: She can say this when she gets up in ''[[Melty Blood]]'' after being knocked over in her typical deadpan tone of voice.

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Cats, tying in with the witch theme that appears in ''[[Melty Blood]]'' and later routes. And in her route in the original game Akiha refers to her as a "dorobou neko" (usually translated as "cat thief" or "thieving cat") which is rougly the equivalent of the English phrase "homewrecker" when she discovers her relationship with Shiki.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Kohaku originally wasn't supposed to have her own route, but one was added at the last minute. This is why she only has one ending instead of two like all of the other heroines.

* {{spoiler|[[Becoming the Mask]]: Especially in ''Melty Blood''.}}

* [[Break the Cutie]]

* [[The Cutie]]: If only Hisui was as bright and cheerful as Kohaku? Ouch. I don't think so, Shiki.

* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Kohaku went through this when SHIKI first raped her, and she realized even after Makihisa died, SHIKI would still be there to abuse her.}}

* [[Dojikko]]: Cleaning the house is NOT her forte.

* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: In Hisui's routes. In Hisui's Good Ending, she survives, but loses her memory. It's implied she lost her memory on purpose.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Emotionless Girl]]}}

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* {{spoiler|[[Feel No Pain]]: One of the first indications that Kohaku is a [[Stepford Smiler]] is when she cuts herself and doesn't realize she should attempt to bandage it in front of Shiki. Note that this is a psychological block more than a lack of nerve endings or anything physical. It's so effective that Kohaku claims she feels no pain even after ''stabbing herself'' in the ''heart'' and slowly bleeding to death.}}

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: In Melty Blood. She creates a robot-version of Hisui. And an entire factory to mass produce them. It's implied that she doesn't actually have the skill to do this, but since the Tatari is around...

* [[Genki Girl]]: {{spoiler|[[Stepford Smiler|Subverted]].}}

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Her ribbon.

* {{spoiler|[[Intimate Healing]]}}

* [[Meido]]: Though she wears the traditional outfit of a Japanese maid rather than a more familiar Western one like Hisui does.

* {{spoiler|[[Milkman Conspiracy]]: Despite everything she does in the Far Side of the Moon routes, she really is nothing more than a maid.}}

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Hisui.

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: If they survive (1/100 chance), those bitten by a vampire will initially become mindless zombies that take several days to even reanimate, and a few years to become feral ghouls. Even ''then'' only 1 out of 1000 bitten have a chance to regain sentience after a few more years. And even with ''that'', only 1 in 10,000 bitten can become an actual vampire with another few years on top of those. Satsuki became semi-aware '''''in minutes''''', and fully sentient after a day. On top of ''THAT'', in {{spoiler|her un-released route}} and [[Melty Blood]] as her [[Limit Break|Last Arc]], she {{spoiler|''has a [[Mental World|Reality Marble]],'' a ''very'' powerful magic ability that only a few Dead Apostle ''Elders'' have. It is called "Depletion Garden" and drains ''all'' the mana from the air around her, effectively giving her the power of [[Anti-Magic]], an ability she didn't even know about.}}

** On top of that, with some help from [[Melty Blood|Sion]], she only needs about 200cc of blood a ''week'' to get by - which includes getting into scraps with the assorted mages, vampire killers, and other vampires ''and'' walk in sunlight. In biological terms, that's the amount of a large blood sample, yet not one that would hurt someone terribly. Basically, she's ''ridiculously'' efficient blood consumption-wise. For all that she's been tormented for her troubles, she may have lost the farm only to win the jackpot.

* [[Tragic Monster]]

* [[Vampire Refugee]]

* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: Shiki believes Nero is the vampire Arcueid is hunting until he realized Nero ate all of his victims and the vampire Arcueid is hunting sucks their blood.

* [[The Dragon]]: In the Near Side routes. Though he's actually just a friend of Roa and doesn't work for him.

* [[Expy]] Look at his above picture! Does it remind you of '''[http://images.wikia.com/hellsing/de/images/1/1f/OVA_Black_Dog.jpg this??]'''

** Plus, in [[Melty Blood]], he's voiced by the [[Joji Nakata|SAME GUY]] as [[Hellsing|Alucard]]! No, not [[Crispin Freeman]].

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: What he becomes after trying to kill Shiki.

* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: {{spoiler|If you thought Akiha was bad, SHIKI ups the Squick factor in her route, where it's heavily implied that he raped her offscreen. Not to mention what Shiki's dream connection with him shows, where his serial killings are targeting girls he thinks are Akiha or look like her, because he wants to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"defile" them]]. His dialogue implies that this is actually some sort of twisted attempt on his part to give Akiha what she wants, but is too insane for anything approaching reason.}}

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: SHIKI is one of the only Tsukihime characters, major or minor, to not be featured as a playable character in any version of Melty Blood. Several 4koma comics have made jokes on this.

* [[Tragic Monster]]: Moreso in the manga, where his role in everyone's childhoods was more emphasized.

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|To Kohaku, in the Hisui route. While Akiha and Shiki were also used as pawns, Akiha had most likely deduced it beforehand and played along with it out of guilt while Shiki was somewhat aware and learned the truth a short time later. SHIKI, on the other hand, was being used as a tool the entire time and never realized it even to the moment of his death.}}

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

 

 

----

* [[Beam Spam]]: In ''[[Melty Blood]]''

* [[Big Eater]]: among other things is the winner of a beef eating contest

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Destructive Savior]]: This seems to be her specialty. Also literally - when Shiki first met her, she threatened to kick his head off.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: [[Subverted Trope|It's dyed]] as revealed in Mahou Tsukai No Yoru

* {{spoiler|[[Man Behind the Man]]: in ''[[Melty Blood]]'' ''REACT''.}}

* [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros]]: Aoko was a main character in the unpublished [[Light Novel]] ''Mahoutsukai no Yoru: Witch on the Holy Night'', one of Nasu's earliest works of which ''only five copies were ever made''. She'll star in the novel's [[Visual Novel]] adaptation which is to be released in Winter 2010.

* [[Dream Weaver]]

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: Has them, but she's not necessarily unhappy. It seems that they're meant to symbolize her inability to outwardly portray her emotions. In contrast, White Len, who was created from the unused parts of Len's personality, has normal, albeit demonic, eyes.

* [[Familiar]]: Works for Arcueid at first, but is technically not a familiar because it's impossible to make a connection as they are too similar. {{spoiler|Becomes Shiki's at the end of Kagetsu Tohya via a contract made either with sex or by feeding her his blood.}}

* [[Foot Focus]]: During one of her [[Hentai|h-scenes]].

* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: During his fight with Kiri, he is silent and mostly unresponsive as the assassin continually attacks him, his weapons bouncing off with no effect. However, when Kiri's final strike to his neck manages to -actually- hurt him (and would have killed him if it had gone deeper), he goes on a batshit rampage and kills a good majority of the Nanaya clan by himself.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Kouma has been dubbed as ''Crimson Red Vermillion'' and ''Red Fierce God''.

* [[Power Dyes Your Hair]]: Extreme usage of his powers makes his hair go crimson red, the same as Akiha.

* [[Prophet Eyes]]: in Melty Blood, during his Arc Drives.

 

* [[The Hyena]]

* [[Unfazed Everyman]]: He's [[Muggles|mundane]], but has spent his life surrounded by demon-hybrids and demon hunters.

 

* [[Hyper Awareness]]: Sion can "overclock her brain" through her techniques; and predict probable future outcomes using math and magic.

* [[Magi Babble]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: In Japanese, her name is pronounced shion. That's the name of a flower associated with memories. Sion can read and manipulate memories using her Etherlite.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Satsuki and Len - the "Back Alley Alliance!" Also with Akiha, once she reveals that she has a method to control Shiki.

* [[Whip It Good]]: Her Etherlite in ''[[Melty Blood]]'''s gameplay.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Light Purple Hair]]

 

=== Miyako Arima ===

* [[The Unexpected]]: Shiki mentions maybe once in Tsukihime that the Arima family had a little girl, but gave zero details. Then Miyako appears as a full-fledged character with [[I Know Karate|insane fighting abilities]].

 

 

==== Voiced by: [[Yasunori Masutani]] (JP) ====

* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]:}} {{spoiler|It still took [[Summon Bigger Fish]].}}

* [[Dracula]]: The game does in fact point out that Vlad Tepes was a mortal; but one of the first massacres that the Tatari did in the past was a town in the Romanian province of Wallachia that feared the legend of the Son of the Dragon.

* [[Enemy Without]]: He does not have a true form, he simply takes form according to the dominant fears and rumors in his "hunting grounds".

** The fact that he does this is the reason for {{spoiler|Red (Bousou/Berserk) Arcueid, stabby-mode Nanaya Shiki, Mecha Hisui, Magical Amber Kohaku, and possibly also Vermillion (Kurenai Seki Shuu) Akiha}} existing.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Both evil and maniacal.

** Don't forget the demented giggling.

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Because he drinks so much blood it [[Tears of Blood|leaks from his blood filled eyes]] when he opens them.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Played by [[Yasunori Masutani]], who also plays Raphael in the [[Soul Series]].

* [[Dark Magical Girl|White Magical Girl]]

* [[Dream Weaver]]: Just like Len, this is her specialty.

* [[Cute Kitten]]

* [[Expy]]: In-story; she's based on the unused parts of Len's personality.

* [[Horny Devils]]: Not exactly the horny type. But, since she's literally a more outspoken version of Len. Yeah...

* [[Jerkass]]: For most of the time.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]

* [[Oh Crap]]: When she realizes that the [[Enemy Without|Tatari-esque]] [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] characters ''aren't'' under her control.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Her Last Arc summons ''Nasu himself'' and crushes her opponent with his giant mushroom avatar.

** This is pretty much the entire reason she exists - as mentioned below, she started as Ciel's foil in the "[[Have a Nice Death|Teach Me Ciel-Sensei]]" scenes, which directly addressed the player and had characters commenting on events happening in the game.

* [[Joke Character]]

** [[Lethal Joke Character]]: Seriously, you will '''hate''' fighting her.

* [[Chainsaw Good]]

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Kohaku is addressed by Mecha-Hisui as either 'Doctor' or 'Doctor Kohaku'. (And 'Nee-san'.)

** In the pre-battle dialogue with Aoko; Aoko refers to Mecha-Hisui as a magic doll.

* [[Mid Boss]]

[[File:Ries_MBAA_select_9358.png|frame]]

 

 

----

* [[Church Militant]]

* {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending]]: Her story ends in one. Having taken place during the Sion TATARI continuity, Riesbyfe is forced to take her down. In the end, Riesbyfe defeats Dust of Osiris, the person who resurrected her. Osiris tells her how she instigated the new TATARI in order to save her. After a heartfelt talk between the two of them, the two die together as TATARI collapses.}}

** In the manga, she even boasts that she is Sion's Shield; a similar oath to the one that Saber made.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Roast Beef Stroganoff/Strudelburger/Stringburger.

* {{spoiler|[[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: She was animated to protect Dust of Osiris.)}}

* [[Posthumous Character]]: She was member of the Church and mentioned as a companion of Sion's in the group that was sent to try to stop Tatari, and died trying to buy her time to escape. Sion was extremely close to her, and kept a memento of her at all times. {{spoiler|Then she appears in ''Actress Again'', reanimated by the Dust of Osiris.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Staking the Loved One]]: Playing as her in ''Actress Again'' takes place in the Sion Tatari continuity, and she has to put down both V. Sion and The Dust Of Osiris; also Sion.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]: "I hope to be able to see you again, friend, after the darkness."}}

=== The Dust of Osiris ===

 

 

----

* [[Big Bad]]: in ''Melty Blood: Actress Again''

* [[Enemy Without]]

* [[For Want of a Nail]]: See [[Future Badass]] below.

* [[Future Badass]]: {{spoiler|She's an future version of Sion. Sort of. When Night of Wallachia drank Sion's blood; it hadn't fully "converted" it yet because it only existed for a few hours of a few days at a time every 30 years, plus he had stopped being a physical vampire. When Oberon's personality was destroyed, the non-vampiric blood took over the Tatari's magic. [[For Want of a Nail|It essentially acts as Sion would have acted had she not been attacked by Wallachia, not met Shiki, and stayed with Atlas.]]}}

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: well, it sure does seem she's riding one...

* {{spoiler|[[Murder Is the Best Solution]]:}} {{spoiler|More like since humanity is going to die anyway, might as well make something constructive from it}}.

{{quote| ''"I see... you're definitely some kind of imitation."'' [said to Shiki Tohno]}}

 

 

----

The original form of Arcueid, and the template for the vampires for planet Earth (thus an archetype, rather than Type like Brunestud and ORT below). However, in ''Current Code'', she doesn't actually exist as a separate character despite being playable, merely as Arcueid's personality.

 

* [[Blow You Away]]

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: claims to be, but has soft spot for [[Official Couple|Shiki]] and [[Foe Yay|Ciel]]

* Kuudere: see Empathic Weapon entry above

* [[Light'Em Up]]

** [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Possibly.

** [[Fighting a Shadow]]: In a sense; the Ultimate Ones still exist in some fashion even if their physical bodies are destroyed.

* [[Evil Eye]]: It has Rainbow Mystic Eyes that allow it to "crush reality".

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]

* [[Ax Crazy|Ax Crazy?]]: Maybe, maybe not. All we know is Crimson Moon Brunestud calls her unstable. This may really be referring to her being a [[Half-Human Hybrid]].

* [[Badass Princess]]

* [[The Ghost]]

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Half True Ancestor, half Dead Apostle. [[Epileptic Trees|Fans speculate as to how]].

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: In-universe, she bears the title of Brunestud, so she's already marked as a potential vessel for the Crimson Moon. Out of universe, her 'pet' is named ''Primate Murder''.

* [[Oracular Urchin]]: She is said to have prophetic visions dictating the time of death for Dead Apostles. Since she normally [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|looks fourteen...]]

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Enhance is said to have turned against a group of Dead Apostles planning to assassinate Arcueid.

* [[Klingon Promotion]]: If the one who kills a Dead Apostle meets the requirements (that is to say, drinks blood as a matter of course), they will instantly earn the Dead Apostle's ranking. Incidentally, this is how ORT got on the list, by virtue of obliterating a Dead Apostle foolish enough to disturb its slumber.

* [[Ravens and Crows]]: Gransurg Blackmore

* [[Red Baron]] / [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: [[Beyond the Impossible|They pretty much all have at least one of each]].

* [[Sword and Gun]]: Enhance's fighting style.

* [[The Beast Master]]: Merem Solomon's preferred mode of combat. His beasts actually comprise his four limbs.

Wizard Marshall and the master of the Second Sorcery, which is also named after him (alternate name ''Kaleidoscope''), and deals with alternate universes. He vanquished the Crimson Moon, though the latter managed to suck his blood, turning him into a vampire.

 

----

 

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass Grandpa]]: Old enough that even as a vampire, he's starting to feel his age. And ''still'' one of the most powerful beings on the planet.

* [[Colony Drop]]: One of the few things we know he's done is taking Crimson Moon Brunestud, dragging it into an alternate reality with an empty Earth and ''dropping the moon on it.'' Dropping the moon on someone is badass enough, but he dropped it on ''TYPE-Moon'' itself. Which definitely makes him a

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]]: Well, he's still a jerk, but he's a ''good'' jerk.

* [[For the Lulz]]: Giving your apprentice a magic wand which provides a lot of mana (among other things)? ''Tres cool.'' {{spoiler|Not telling her that said wand has a mind of its own and likes to force its wielder into embarrassing costumes? [[Hilarity Ensues]].}}

* [[Training From Hell]]: Students (hand-picked and initially ''very'' eager, mind you) are more often than not left a gibbering mess and unable or unwilling to continue their careers.
