Xenosaga/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== '''Shion Uzuki''' ===

[[File:shion_8122shion 8122.jpg|frame]]

* {{spoiler|[[Pals Withwith Jesus]]: Shion, in a past life, was called the Maiden of Mary. It seems that she and Mary Magdalene (yes, ''that'' Mary Magdalene) were very close.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: She made contact with the Zohar and summoned the Gnosis.}}

=== '''KOS-MOS''' ===

[[File:kosmos_6998kosmos 6998.jpg|frame]]

* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: Her name is a recursive acronym meaning Kosmos Obey Strategic Multiple Operation Systems.

* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: The conscience of Mary Magdelene is stored within KOS-MOS and is used to oppose the power of Anima (should anything bad happen) whom is chaos.}}

=== '''chaos''' ===

[[File:chaos_9407chaos 9407.jpg|frame]]

* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: {{spoiler|His power of Anima is to ensure that the dissipation of the Collective Unconscious doesn't engulf both the Upper and Lower Domain and destroy the universe.}} While this sounds all well and good, the alternative is that his power actually {{spoiler|Only contains the dissipation inside the Lower Domain, that is, the world the characters live in and the world where the Collective Unconscious reside, meaning, the Lower Domain is sacrificed to save the Upper Domain.}}

=== '''Ziggy''' ===

[[File:ziggy_copy_5885ziggy copy 5885.jpg|frame]]

* [[Expy]]: Ziggy has a great deal in common with [[Robo CopRoboCop]], from the [[Robo Cam]] to denying his previous identity {{spoiler|until after some [[Character Development]]}}, and also looks more than a bit like Rutger Hauer as [[Blade Runner|Roy Batty]].

* [[Hammerspace]]: Presumably he uses UMN transport for his [[BFG|BFGs]]s, just like KOS-MOS.

=== '''MOMO''' ===

[[File:momo_7997momo 7997.jpg|frame]]

* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: Her name means 'Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus'.

* [[Magical Girl]]: In ''Episode I'', MOMO has in-battle [[Transformation Sequence|Transformation Sequences]]s that give her special abilities. Seriously. Her name is also a [[Shout-Out]] to a classic magical girl, Minky Momo.

=== '''Jr.''' ===

[[File:jr_9957jr 9957.jpg|frame]]

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Jr. wields dual pistols because he's so fond of [[The Gunslinger|Gunslinger heroics]].

=== '''Jin Uzuki''' ===

[[File:jinuzuki_5763jinuzuki 5763.jpg|frame]]

* [[Expy]]: Of Citan Uzuki from ''[[Xenogears (Video Game)|Xenogears]]''.

=== '''Nephilim''' ===

[[File:200px-Nephili2__6765Nephili2 6765.png|frame]]

* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|She gets called out on it at one point. ]]

{{quote| '''Shion:''' What do you want? Are you here to say a bunch of cryptic things again and confuse me? You're always like that. You just appear in front of me, say whatever you feel like, then just watch without actually doing anything! }}

* [[Expy]]: She looks remarkably like Elly from ''[[Xenogears (Video Game)|Xenogears]]''. {{spoiler|Given the ending with her and Abel, this was probably very deliberate.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: Maybe, depending on your interpretation of Wilhelm's ultimate goals.}}

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In the end, he ''bludgeons'' a Gnosis to death with a rifle butt, after delivering a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] to [[The Dragon]].

=== '''Miyuki''' ===

[[File:-miyuki-itsumi_3794itsumi 3794.jpg|frame]]

======= '''Voiced by Emi Uwagawa in Japanese and [[Michelle Ruff]] (Episode I) and Heather Hogan (Episode II & III) in English. ======='''

=== '''Canaan''' ===

=== '''Kevin Winnicott / {{spoiler|The Red Testament}} / {{spoiler|Roth Mantel}}''' ===

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

* {{spoiler|[[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]}}

* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: Subverted to hell and back: {{spoiler|He was a rotten, duplicitous little bastard even as a kid. Heck, [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid|he used to be a bad kid]] by comparison because at least he was a lot better at hiding it as an adult.}}

=== '''Lt. Luis Virgil{{spoiler|/Blue Testament}}''' ===

{{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead|Or he would have if he wasn't brought back by Wilhelm]]. He then becomes the Blue Testament, personality intact. His reason for becoming a Testament is tied into the Miltian Conflict. During the period, he lost his whole squad to Realians and would have died if he didn't get a transplant from a Realian named Febronia, who also took care of Shion. While recovering, the formerly hard-assed soldier eventually softens and the two fall in love. However, when all things went to hell, Febronia died. He blames himself for being too weak and not being able to protect her. Because of this, he rejected love and developed an intense hatred towards Realians. The reason he hates Shion's optimism so much is because she reminds him of Febronia.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Justified by Wilhelm's power}}

* {{spoiler|[[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Cast]]: In ''Xenosaga: The Animation'', Virgil survives the attack on the Woglinde in place of Commander Cherenkov, only to be killed later by KOS-MOS (for the same reason as in the game).}}

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Virgil was the name of Dante's guide from ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'' and the writer of ''[[The Aeneid (Literature)|The Aeneid]]''.

=== '''Gaignun Kukai''' ===

=== '''Tony''' ===

=== '''Hammer''' ===

* [[Expy]]: Of Hammer from ''[[Xenogears (Video Game)|Xenogears]]'', minus the anthromorphic rat aspects.

=== '''Mary and Shelley''' ===

=== '''U-DO''' ===

{{spoiler|Except for the part where all that turns out to be [[Blatant Lies|boldface fabrications]] by Yuriev. While it does drive people insane-see Albedo-this is mostly accidental on it's part. In reality, it is the sentient avatar of the mind of the universe, a Gnostic [[God]] who possesses a benign, scientific interest in humans. Unfortunately, it's mind is so powerful it literally destroys the minds of most people it attempts to contact. As shown throughout it's interviews with Shion in game #3, it seeks to understand the goals and psychology of humans and the nature of the universe. To do that, it created two [[God in Human Form|observational units]]-Abel, a [[Xenogears (Video Game)|Fei]] [[Expy]] who gathers information in physical space, and Abel's Ark, a colossal-star system sized-living ship who observes spiritual space. It is an important element in all three games.}}

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Benign or not}}, it's still [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Yog-Sototh]] lite.

* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]

=== '''Albedo'''{{spoiler|/'''White Testament}}''' ===

[[File:Albedo_7949_1627Albedo 7949 1627.jpg|frame]]

* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: No less than ''three'' times in Episode II, for a given amount of "dead."}}

* [[Drunk Onon the Dark Side]]: Albedo firing {{spoiler|Proto Merkabah at Second Militia}} definitely qualifies. Also, this trope is a part of what he wants, overall, since {{spoiler|he wants to link up with U-DO again so badly.}} Also, commenting on his {{spoiler|first link up with U-DO}}...

{{quote| '''Albedo''': {{spoiler|I experienced but a fragment of my true power that day. ''The waves that inundated my body, are now apart of me.'' I've reached a higher stage of existence, compared to you incomplete mortals. I am the Alpha AND the Omega of perfect consciousness!}}}}

* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]/[[Freak-Out]]: Twice; first one was when he learned that his brothers lack his infinite regeneration and could die, and the second is when he {{spoiler|came into contact with U-DO}}.

* [[Healing Factor]]: Arguably his defining characteristic.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Type C

* {{spoiler|[[Suicide Byby Cop]]: He [[I Cannot Self-Terminate|Can Not Self Terminate]], so he repeatedly attempts to provoke Jr. into killing him.}}

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]:

{{quote| "This pain. It's SO GOOD! SO GOOOOD!"}}

=== '''Margulis''' ===

[[File:margulis_3320margulis 3320.jpg|frame]]

* [[Say My Name]]: To Jin.

{{quote| "'''UZUKI[[User:Dai-Guard|Dai-Guard]] ([[User talk:Dai-Guard|talk]]) 10:51, 27 November 2013 (UTC)'''"}}

=== '''Patriarch Sergius XVII''' ===

======= '''Voiced by Chikao Ōtsuka in Japanese and [[Michael Bell]] in English. ======='''

* [[First Church of Mecha]]: Ormus worships the Zohar as a holy relic and uses numerous religious-themed [[Humongous Mecha|Humongous Mechas]]s as part of their arsenal, including one that actually '''is''' a church. And then there's his own personal [[Deus Est Machina]]: Proto-Ω.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Dresses all in white? Check. Head of a major religion? Check. Light-based attacks? Check. Army of angelic super robots? Check. Base of operations looks like a space cathedral? Check. Genocidal tendencies? '''Double check'''.

=== '''Wilhelm''' ===

[[File:Wilhelm_6373Wilhelm 6373.jpg|frame]]

======= '''Voiced by [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]] in Japanese and [[Richard Cansino]] (Episode I), Jason Spisak (Episode II & III), and [[Vic Mignogna]] (anime) in English. ======='''

* {{spoiler|[[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: It's heavily implied that Wilhelm was either Emperor Nero or Tiberius.}}

=== '''Pellegri''' ===

[[File:pellegri_5881pellegri 5881.jpg|frame]]

======= '''Voiced by [[Eriko Hara]] in Japanese and [[Kari Wahlgren]] (games) and [[Christine Auten]] (anime) in English. ======='''

Margulus' subordinate within Ormus. Unlike her superior, she seems to have flashes of conscience about the paths they walk, but not enough to make her reconsider her choices. She has a past with Jin.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]

=== '''Dr. Dmitri Yuriev''' ===

[[File:Dmitri_Yuriev_771_1612Dmitri Yuriev 771 1612.jpg|frame]]

======= '''Voiced by Osamu Saka in Japanese and Keith Szarabajka in English. ======='''

* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: What happened when he came into contact with U-DO.

=== '''Citrine''' ===

======= '''Voiced by Rena Mizuki in Japanese and [[Erin Fitzgerald]] and Stephanie Mitchell (child) in English. ======='''

* [[Evil Redhead]]: She's a mass murderer.

* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: She was created mostly from Yuriev's X-chromosome.

* [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: And killing people...

=== '''Dr. Sellers''' ===

======= '''Voiced by Masaharu Satou in Japanese and [[Steve Blum]] in English. ======='''

One of the brightest scientific minds in the post-Miltian Conflict galaxy. Dr. Sellers is known as much for his intellect as he is for his shifting loyalties.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Other than the aforementioned knee-capping, he largely gets away scot-free in all three games.

* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: He's one of the few dangling threads the series left behind, as he's never actually killed on screen. [[Fanon|Everyone just assumes he stayed on the Merkabah as it was absorbed by Abel's Ark]].

=== '''Voyager''' ===

[[File:Voyager_678_7223Voyager 678 7223.jpg|frame]]

======= '''Voiced by Kouji Tsujitani in Japanese and DC Douglas in English. ======='''

The black testament, who has some sort of connection with Ziggy.

* [[The Cracker]]: Before he became a supernatural monster he was a ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell]]''-inspired cyber-terrorist with whom Ziggy tangled during his days as a policeman.

=== '''T-elos''' ===

[[File:telos_4514telos 4514.jpg|frame]]

======= '''Voiced by Mariko Suzuki in Japanese and [[Bridget Hoffman]] in English. ======='''

* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: T-elos is cruel and sadistic, compared to KOS-MOS's logical indifference or protectiveness.

** This could be more of the below [[Evil Counterpart]]. It's not just their personalities that's flipped, but pretty much ''everything'' along with a play on words. KOS-MOS is right-handed (dextrous, implying skill and effectiveness) while T-elos is left (sinister, implying cruelty. [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Obviously]]).
