Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== Laharl ===

{{quote|Main character of the first game and Prince of the Netherworld. After waking up from a two year "nap" and discovering that his father King Krichevskoy has died some time ago, Laharl sets upon claiming the throne for himself. Laharl is cocky, spoiled and quick-tempered. How much of this is real and how much of it is a front he puts up to feel powerful is a question that most of his vassals ponder. He also has a physical aversion towards optimism and well-endowed women.}}

=== Etna ===

{{quote|[[The Lancer]] and Laharl's second in command. Etna is a demon who has been working at the castle since before the Prince was born and not particularly impressed by his immaturity. She is also highly ambitious and has the tendency to transparently plot Laharl's overthrow, if only to keep him in line.}}

=== Flonne ===

{{quote|"[[Love Freak]]" and self appointed [[Guardian Angel]] of Laharl. Originally sent to the Netherworld to assassinate the late King Kricheveskoy, she decided to stick around in order to discover if demons were [[Dark Is Not Evil|inherently evil]]. She is generally ditzy and absurdly idealistic, though with a few [[Berserk Button]]s that lead one to wonder just ''how'' good she really is. Flonne is also a huge anime and [[Toku]] [[Otaku]], so much so that she actually ends up being the ''most'' [[Genre Savvy]] team member despite not being particularly smart.}}

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: IronicallySubverted, mostshe turns out to be right about demons the entire time. Most of her methods of attack relies on intelligence and she will most likely be one of your best mage for most of the game. Also, outside of the original game, where all the plot characters have the same growth, she has a very high intelligence growth. Of course, she IS smarter than she appears anyways.

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Subverted.She's Flonneevery learnsbit aas wholeinnocent lotas aboutshe herselflooks. fromEven herwhen visitshe tobecomes the Netherworld, particularly abouta herdemon hiddenshe deviantstays andas easilyinnocent temptedas sideever.

* [[The Klutz]]: Laharl and Etna thinks she is this, [[Informed Attribute|but she has never been shown doing something extremely clumsy (though she does occasionally say "Pardon me!" when attacking]], so the statements tend to be more about [[Cloudcuckoolander|the thoughts that goes through her head]] rather than her physical slip-ups.

=== Mid-Boss/Vyers ===

==== Voiced by: [[Chihiro Suzuki]] (JP), [[Grant George]] (EN) ====

{{quote|The foppish, self-proclaimed "Dark Adonis" who has a penchant for [[Gratuitous French|random French]], Vyers was quickly dubbed "Mid-Boss" by Laharl just before he had his ass handed to him in a humiliating defeat. He appears at the most inopportune times to challenge Laharl and regain some semblance of dignity. Overall, he appears to be a total ditz, though [[Obfuscating Stupidity|he may know more than he lets on...]]}}

* [[Baddie Flattery]]: He's very personable and friendly, and regularly compliments the party.

* [[The Dandy]]: Very foppish and silly.

* [[The Fighting Narcissist]]: He's completely full of himself and has a high opinion of his own beauty.

* [[Instant Bandages]]: His bust after losing.

* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: He's ''gorgeous''.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: He's a demon who is "vying" for the throne, hence the name "Vyers".

* {{spoiler|[[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: He is ''not'' the foppish moron he seems. Laharl catches on by the end of the game}}.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Is fought several times throughout the game.

* {{spoiler|[[Stealth Mentor]]: He does what he does to help spur Laharl's [[Character Development]] into a [[Noble Demon]]}}.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: His "shirt" amounts to a vest with long sleeves.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: His outfit leaves his chest eternally bare.

* {{spoiler|[[The Watcher]]: He could do much more to help you than he does, but leaves things to Laharl}}.

* [[Your Eyes Can Deceive You]]: Vyers’Vyers' “advice”"advice" to Laharl in the Maderas chapter.

{{quote|On Earth, he was a courageous and celebrated hero that descends from a long line of equally courageous and celebrated heroes. In the Netherworld, he's Laharl's recently acquired and usually mistreated slave thanks to an ill-placed bet on his victory. Even so, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' is a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Large Ham]] with a complete inability to keep quiet. As such, he will give his all in ''anything'' he does.}}

* [[The Big Guy]]: He's handy with axes to rach up huge damage.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Gordon pretty much exists to be humiliated and made fun of.

* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Has a prominently square jaw to emphasize his status as a stock pulp hero.

* [[Large Ham]]: Loud, boisterous and dramatic.

* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Even his relatively normal voice is quite loud and boisterous.

* [[Twinkle Smile]]: Has one in his portrait.

=== Jennifer ===

{{quote|Sidekick of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Jennifer is busty, blonde, scantily clad and, against the rest of the group's expectations, brilliant. Jennifer is thoroughly skilled in subjects ranging from Robotics to Martial Arts and generally serves as the brains for '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Though technically in the same predicament as he, Jennifer seems to have gotten the much better deal out of it, likely because Laharl vehemently refuses to stand within five feet of her. As such, she seems to enjoy pushing Laharl's buttons and is something of a [[Cool Big Sis]] for Flonne and Etna. Considering her initial talk of [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle demons]], she seems to have a rather [[Covert Pervert|dirty mind]].}}

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Between her bikini top and shorts, her stomach and upper torso are fully visible.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: She's not just a physical powerhouse, she's also a scientist.

* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: The plot makes her out to be stronger than Gordon, among all the other things she does better than him.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: She's ''very'' busty and curvy, and walks around in shorts and a bikini top.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Shorts and a bikini top.

=== Thursday ===

{{quote|A multi-purpose super robot built by Jennifer at [[Improbable Age|the age of 5]]. Ultra-powerful (in gameplay, too) and able to provide whatever service the characters might need at a given time.}}

* [[Day of the Week Name]]: For whatever reason, he's called "Thursday".

* [[Robot Buddy]]: To the human duo of Gordon and Jennifer.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP.

=== Kurtis ===

{{quote|Described on the main page as "a big ball of tropes, delivered one right after the other." Gets very little time during this game, but plays a bigger role in ''Cursed Memories''.}}

* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: Inverted: he modified his body with robotic parts, but only after he crossed the [[Despair Event Horizon]].

* [[Expy]]: Very clearly based on Jet Link (akaa.k.a. Cyborg 002) from ''[[Cyborg 009]]''.

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Feels this way towards Gordon since [[It's Personal]].

=== Seraph Lamington ===

{{quote|Leader of Celestia. Sends Flonne on an assassination mission targeting the overlord knowing that he was already dead. [[Hilarity Ensues]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]]: The last challenge in the first game's main campaign}}.

* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: He's very handsome and has hair down to his legs.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: His hair reaches down to his ankles.

=== Vulcanus ===

{{quote|The main villain of the game. An angel, albeit an extremely ugly one. Has very little tolerance for Flonne's screw-ups, and insists on correcting them himself.}}

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Very prone to letting out loud, booming laughter.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: He's an angel, but is also the main antagonist.

=== Aramis ===

{{quote|Aramis is a resident child in the Netherworld whom Etna manipulates to make Laharl prove himself worthy of ruling. He owns many pet zombies. His favorite among them is a special combination of many parts.}}

=== Big Sis Prinny ===

{{quote|A mysterious red Prinny that works in the Overlord's castle, usually seen tending to the other prinnies. {{spoiler|She's actually Laharl's dead mother}}.}}
