Line 15:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: These tropes [[Ear Worm|are just his style]].
** Get him to talk about stealing, back-stabbing, or anything demonish. It ''will'' get stuck in your head.
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Played for laughs in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]''--he—he left Veldime after the end of ''Disgaea 2'', because he doesn't know how to do anything but fight, and didn't get a job at Evil Academy because [[Hot-Blooded]] isn't a teaching skill! (Or rather, it ''is'', but Mr. Champloo has that position filled already.)
** Also [[Played for Laughs]] in [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]], where he was so good at Demon Hunting that he eventually ran out of Demons to hunt in Veldime.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: Regardless of level, Adell will effortlessly block a Chaos Impact from a 1000-level Etna. [[Hopeless Boss Fight|The ensuing fight, however...]]
Line 44:
* [[Oblivious Adoption]]: The adoption, he knows of. {{spoiler|The fact that he's ''not human?'' Not so much.}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Self aware of it, too.
* [[Overrated and Underleveled]]: He begins the game at Level 1, as befitting the hero of an RPG. But he's already traveled all over the world of Veldime looking for Overlord Zenon, and Veldime has some pretty dangerous regions to search through. When he couldn't find the Overlord, he instead traveled all over Veldime ''again'' to collect the ingredients his mother needed to summon Zenon -- whichZenon—which included killing a few mighty beasts. So, he's supposed to be much stronger in the story than his level in the game indicates (averts with a [[New Game+]]).
* [[Playing with Fire]]: All of Adell's special attacks are fire-based.
* [[Power Fist]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]].

[[File:Axel.png|frame]]
 
The once famous Dark Hero who has now fallen on tough times, Axel embarks on the seemingly impossible quest to regain his fame -- Afame—A difficult task made even harder by the fact that everyone thinks he's ''dead''. Also dead set on getting revenge the man who "killed" him: Adell. While something of a shameless rat bastard ([[Card-Carrying Villain|it's what a Dark Hero does, after all]]), he is prone to being a [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero.]] He will appear in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'' as the warden of Hades who is attempting to suck up to the government through the son of the Netherworld president.
 
'''Tropes associated with Axel:'''
Line 238:
* [[Knight Templar Big Brother]]: Don't mess with his little bro or you're in deep trouble.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: When he endangers Taro.
* [[Noble Demon]]: Despite being a shameless underhanded bastard at times, he does have something of a sense of honor -- Suchhonor—Such as when he accidentally endangers Adell's [[Adorably Precocious Child]] brother in his vendetta.
* {{spoiler|[[Parental Abandonment]]: Axel and the rest of his siblings are all adopted. [[Happily Adopted|Doesn't bother him at all.]]}}
* [[Pet the Dog]]: In addition to the above, in the [[Updated Rerelease]]'s Axel Mode, {{spoiler|Axel willingly chooses to save his brother on live television even though he knows that it would destroy his reputation as the Dark Hero. He doesn't blame his brother for it either.}}
