The large and assorted cast of characters of the [[
== Main Cha-er Good G-um...People Living in Shiden's Complex ==
Line 9:
* [[Author Avatar]]: or rather, Artist Avatar. Sage only draws the comic; he doesn't write the script.
* [[Anti
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: In a sense; he's depicted as having idolized anime and comic book heroes growing up, and the discoveries that he's magic-immune and that evil super-mages are trying to take over the world pretty much renders him the hero. However, Phil doesn't make that mental leap in-comic until fairly recently.
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Proposes theories about magic artifacts and the like simply by analysis. Not the best example in-series, but not too bad.
* [[Bishonen]]: Without glasses, much like [[Ranma ½|Mousse]]. [[Squee|Causes quite a bit of trouble for him when it first becomes apparent at a convention.]]
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Mistook Kate kissing him as an attempt by her to sexually assault him.
** Inverted when {{spoiler|Phil proposes to Kate, not the other way around}}.
Line 21:
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: {{spoiler|A cross-product of his Null ability to nullify magic and Penpen's special "training" to build up resistance to physical trauma.}}
** [[Made of Iron]]: In the earlier days of the comic, before the plot came together. Phil gets hit by a 18-wheeler and suffers only a minor head injury and broken glasses, gets punched directly into his apartment from across town by Axel, is later knocked out of the same window by Kate (said apartment is several stories above the ground), and recovers from a kunai to the heart in less than a day (an identical injury left a paramedic in a coma). [[Beyond the Impossible|Then he]] ''[[Beyond the Impossible|stops]]'' [[Beyond the Impossible|bleeding...]]
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Lia at least believes that Phil uses it.
* [[Otaku]]: Taken to ridiculous measures when he and Kate win an anime trivia challenge (and a trip to Japan) because the audience got annoyed that Phil answered every question correctly and explained them.
* [[What Measure Is a Non
=== Kate Summers ===
Line 32:
Tropes associated with Kate:
* [[Catgirl]]: Duh.
* [[Half
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: What leads her to meet Josephus.
* [[Official Couple]]: With Phil. {{spoiler|Bonus points now that they're [[Incredibly Lame Pun|officially a couple]].}}
Line 46:
** [[Badass Longcoat]]
* [[Cool Shades]]: Only ever seen once without them, though they don't always hide his eyes.
* [[Allergic to Love|Allergic To Cute]]: Can be physically damaged by [[
* [[Red Eyes]]: While possessed by the demon. After it was exorcised, they became...
** [[Blue Eyes]]: However, when he gets angry or uses his powers, we get...
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Inadvertently brought about by Josephus, who allowed the demon to take control.
* [[Kid With the Remote Control]]: Due to being the "officially"-recognized master to the Demoness, Axel is the only one who can order her around.
* [[Determinator]]: In his flashback, he's able to regain control of his mind while the demon is speaking the Demoness's true name--''before'' she creates the maze to trap it. He also undergoes [[Training
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Only ever seems to own one coat: the [[Badass Longcoat|badass]] one, only taking it off twice. Lampshaded when a recent page shows him owning multiple pairs of his trademark shades as well as a closet full of coats.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
* [[
* [[The Lancer]]: Sort of fits this role, down to the personality type.
=== Penpen ===
A two-foot-tall, talking penguin with a Jello fetish that lives as Phil's "pet". Seems to have it out for Phil, attempting to kill him several times and having a scarily impressive knowledge of explosives and weapons. {{spoiler|Of course, that's a ruse, and "Penpen" is really one of the demons who aided the Null in the previous war against the Magi, as well as one of the three Demon Princes. His attempts to "kill" Phil were really just part of a plan to get Phil's [[Anti
{{spoiler|After defeating his cousin in a "sporting" match and defeating his other cousin to save Hue, Penpen is now the rightful King of Demons.}}
Line 67:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Will take all kinds of dirty or cheap shots with anything he's got on hand. {{spoiler|He ''is'' a demon, after all.}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
* [[
* {{spoiler|[[Noble Demon]]: [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Literally.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Personally helped the previous Null during the war in which magic was sealed, which was a long (but unspecified) amount of time ago.}}
Line 81:
* [[Team Chef]]: A very excellent chef and proud to admit it. None of the other characters seem surprised about it.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Shisou, prominent at first but later toned down a great deal.
* [[What Measure Is a Non
=== Shiden ===
Line 98:
* [[Badass]]
* [[
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Plenty and often. Sometimes in Japanese.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Always has one on him.
Line 111:
=== Miyo ===
The first [[Robot Girl]] introduced in the comic, and the first to be built by Shiden. He built her to get rid of Phil due to the latter's interest in the [[
She and Tom aided in the construction of Shiden's complex, and moved in when it was finished.
Line 144:
A shy, somewhat quiet robot girl. {{spoiler|She was not built by Shiden, but by Cain, as a vessel for his younger sister's soul, as she was killed during the Weirding due to her Type-A Chimera transformation.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: When she first woke up and saw Cain, it triggered a flood of memories from when she was alive--including her death. This strained her CPU and caused her to zone out for a little bit, and she still lacks her memories.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Since she became a Chimera right before dying, and then had her soul implanted in a body reverse-engineered from Nami's, she's part robot, part Chimera.}}
Line 152:
=== Lien ===
Another one of Shiden's robot girls, built to serve primarily as his (and later, Phil and friends') bodyguard.
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Occasionally switches to [[Peek
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Admits (in her own subtle way) that she does enjoy swooping in to save people.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Played with; she specializes in combat functions and is oftentimes very much [[The Stoic]], but is more than capable of thinking and feeling like any of Shiden's robots. She just prefers to keep her emotions under wraps, and actually fears that if she doesn't fulfill her purpose, she'll lose the meaning to her life.
Line 180:
Axel's familiar, who met him on the night of the Weirding when he became a Chimera.
* [[Distracted
* [[Horny Devils]]: Often (playfully) invokes the stereotype, but hasn't done anything explicitly sexual despite any evidence to the contrary that her teases might imply.
* [[The Tease]]: With ''everybody''. Just barely edges out [[Loveable Sex Maniac|Blue]] for being the comic's best example of this.
Line 191:
* [[Affably Evil]]
* {{spoiler|[[Brought Down to Normal]]: When Axel attacks him with the [[Blade
* [[Playing
=== "Power" ===
Line 208:
* [[Badass Cape]]
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Emi has a habit of [http://www.yoshsaga.com/archive/lifes-little-changes/ speaking] [http://www.yoshsaga.com/archive/heat-induced-expansion/ without really thinking about] [http://www.yoshsaga.com/archive/the-magi-in-a-nutshell/ what she says].
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Gets hit with a beach ball and teased a few times; powers up to fry everyone in range afterwards.
* [[Heel Realization]]: {{spoiler|When Phil "nulls" her powers for a few moments after the beach ball incident, she realizes exactly what she was about to do. And feels moderately bad about it.}} Afterwards, she begins to soften up a little bit.
Line 242:
=== Serena ===
{{spoiler|The second Magus of Fire, who received the power when Josephus died.}} Lives in South America.
* [[Dark
* {{spoiler|[[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Her physical changes are so contrary to her original appearance that her grandfather was rather freaked out when it happened.}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Possibly. Her mother works in the city, while she looks after her grandfather in the jungle. What her father's doing is unknown.
Line 279:
A government agent that severely distrusts all magi and wants to make sure that they're not a threat to regular humans by any means necessary.
* [[Character Development]]: His interactions with Shiden and Lia have made him considerably less brutal and extreme in his methods and makes him second guess his assumption that Magi are automatically [[Card
* [[Well
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Pretends to try and rob a local historian of several priceless artifacts from the Null War in order to gain access to a magical seal in the historian's basement.}}
Line 294:
* [[Magic Knight]]
* [[Sinister Scythe]]
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: A mild example; he taught Axel in a very [[Training
* [[The Rival]]: {{spoiler|To Penpen.}}
