== Deus ==
The "god" of ''Xenogears''. Originally a biological weapon powered by Zohar, Deus is sentient with a will of its own. In the distant past, the planet Miktam04β was destroyed in a test of Deus's power. It was this same event that trapped the Wave Existence from its higher dimension. As a consequence of the planet's destruction, the Galaxy Federation determined that Deus and Zohar must be sent away from their centers of population. They were loaded into the central core of the giant colony ship Eldridge. During its mission, Deus became conscience of this, and quickly sabotaged the Eldridge to stop it. The Eldridge was destroyed, crashing on a nearby habitable planet. The ship disintegrated, with the central core, the Mahanon, sinking into the ocean. Deus wishes to leave this planet where it has been stranded, and return to space. But it was badly damaged, and needs biological components to repair itself. As the Wave Existence used Deus's bio-plant to create Elhaym, in this was simultaneously created Miang as an agent of Deus in human form, to raise a multiplying population of humans to serve as future raw biological components to repair Deus. 500 years ago, a [[

Line 182 ⟶ 183:
* [[Body Snatcher]]: Can take over the body of any woman with her DNA when her current body fails. Considering she's this planet's [[Adam and Eve Plot|Eve character]], that's pretty much any woman, period -- which woman is at random, however. Miang's real form is that of the mitochondrial DNA of the planet's human population, which is called the Ouroboros. When one Miang dies, she just awakens in another convenient woman. Near the end of the game, ''Elly'' becomes the 999th Miang, immediately on the death of the 998th (Ramsus's assistant) who appeared in most of the game.
* [[Body Surf]]: As mentioned above, there have been 999 Miangs over the span of 10,000 years. That averages out to any particular Miang having roughly a ten-year lifespan.
* [[Bodyguard Babes]]: To Ramsus, though she's officially his aide-de-camp. We later learn that Miang has acted as one of these to male leaders throughout history.
* [[Dragon with an Agenda]]: To Ramsus, Grahf, and Krelian. Also to the Gazel Ministry in the past, most notably Cain.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: More like an ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Eldridge]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging|Abomination]].
Line 264 ⟶ 265:
The man at the top of the food chain in Nortune Prison. Initiates new prisoners by beating them.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: In a decidedly [[
** There's also the matter that Rico's [[Fan Service]] is conspicuously more homoerotic, appealing more to the [[Fan Yay|lads]] than to the lasses.
* [[Blood Knight]]
Line 361 ⟶ 362:
=== Shakhan ===
Current leader of Aveh, who established a coup and overthrew the ruling Fatima dynasty.
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: Is a somewhat major antagonist early on, but a series of defeats as well as Grahf showing up results in [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensuing]]
* [[Sinister Minister]]
Line 375 ⟶ 376:
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Until he revealed himself as Stein, who has ''no eyelids at all''.
* [[Love Triangle]]
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: How he killed Racquel.
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Kills Racquel because she chose Jesiah.
* [[Sinister Minister]]
Line 383 ⟶ 384:
=== Kahran Ramsus ===
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: He's presented as the main baddie, being our first glimpse of Geblar.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Broken Ace]]: He spent his entire life trying to disprove the Ministry's low opinion of him -- that he's a failed clone, just "trash." His ambition cost him his two best friends.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Finding out he's a clone of Emperor Cain isn't the final nail in the coffin of his sanity, but it's pretty damn close to it.
* [[
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: He was created as the epitome of humankind and as an Artificial -Contact- until he literally gets trashed as a fetus when Krelian discovers the new -Contact- has already been born. It doesn't help that Fei beats him every -single- time and everyone else calls him Trash.

Line 448 ⟶ 449:
=== Deus ===
* [[
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Orchestrated the evolution of man through "Mother" in an eon-wide gambit to revive itself. Deus is, in all practicality, God himself.
* [[Deus Est Machina]]: It is "God" in the sense that it is the creator of the human race on the world on which ''Xenogears'' takes place.
Line 501 ⟶ 502:
* [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: His hair turned white as the result of nanomachines prolonging his life.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: At the end of the game, Krelian admits that he has done so many horrible things that he can't even call himself ''human'' anymore.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: A bit of [[Put Them All Out of My Misery]], a little [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]...''a lot'' of [[Utopia Justifies the Means]].
{{quote|"-Deus-, the physical manifestation of god, only wants results... The means are insignificant to him."}}
Line 543 ⟶ 544:
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]
* [[Petting Zoo People]]
* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]: Elly and Rico still loved Hammer, even after he killed Medena. Rico continually emphatically insists that it wasn't Hammer's fault. If this is so, then Hammer may have been manipulated into doing it. The seeds of Hammer's betrayal were sewn during his time of captivity in [[The Chessmaster|Krelian]]'s lab, and it was never certain just ''what'' was done to him ''before'' the party escaped.
** [[Sympathetic Murder Backstory]]: Hammer was introduced and developed as a beloved [[True Companions]] before his act of murder.
Line 554:
=== Jesiah "Jessie" Black ===
Billy Lee Black's father. Former agent of Solaris.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Disappears from the game at disc 2.
