Super Robot Wars K/Characters
Mist Rex
20 year-old, main protagonist of Super Robot Wars K. Mist's a resident of a planet called "Atreim" and is part of its defence force, until the planet gets destroyed by the Edax, leaving him to drift around until encountering another planet where he befriends Sheldia...until the Edax comes and destroys it, too. This time, Mist drifted into Earth and is found near the Dannar Base and works there for food, hiding his machine the Levirias, until the Mimetic Beasts attack and he takes to the battlefield again. But then, the Edax eventually finds Earth and is starting to invade it, and this time, Mist must defend his new home...whether the new home is good, or bad...
Tropes associated with Mist and Levirias:
- Ancestral Weapon (Levirias was built by Atreim's ancestors the Crusian)
- Combining Mecha
- Cool Sword (Solrivias's Crystal Heart Sword)
- Failure Knight (He fails in protecting TWO planets and wants to make sure the third time's the charm)
- Guns Akimbo
- Human Aliens
- Humans Through Alien Eyes (At one point, Mist wangsts about how humans get so embroiled with war, it's worse than his home planet. He gets better)
- Swiss Army Weapon
- The Scrappy (A lot of his actions and lines early on in the game didn't earn him many fans.)
- To elaborate, he constantly claims that everything on Earth was done better on Atreim to the point where he comes off as a snobbish asshole. Mist also keeps preaching that fighting solves nothing in response to every situation encountered. He also does not hesitate to flat out insult people to their faces and openly criticize their faults (such as Go Sawatari's problems with women or Van's habit of charging recklessly at The Claw's minions), even though Mist himself either has those faults already OR develops them over the course of the game (one particular ending for Mist is a harem ending that almost perfectly resembles Go's situation). In addition, some of his lines come out at the absolutely worst time possible (example: when Soushi dies at the end of the game, his response is to say that the whole adventure was fun while everyone else is grieving over Soushi's death).
- To the point where it led to this Memetic Mutation, which accidentally created a rumor that Mist would appear in the upcoming Super Robot Wars L. Z2 is continuing this trend by editing game screenshots to include Mist, as seen here.
Angelica Shartill
Angelica is Mist's childhood friend, and tends to be very emotional. She goes missing during Edax's assault on Atreim and is shoved directly to Earth. She works in the Build Base as the intelligence division for about 10 months until she reunites with Mist and joins him in the fight. Shows some bit of jealousy when Sheldia starts appearing, but apparently cares enough for Mist...if he's not doing anything dumb. She's also looking for her Disappeared Dad. Apparently, she's also quite the klutz, tending to screw up in crucial times during missions, or giving the wrong information while thinking it was fact.
Her unit is the Serius, and depending on how Mist conducts himself, it either stays that way or gets upgraded and able to combine with Mist's Levirias. Angelica embodies this trope:
- Clingy Jealous Girl (A minor version; thank god she hasn't delved into THAT territory yet...)
- Combining Mecha
- Disappeared Dad (Said dad gets better, eventually)
- Dojikko
- Genius Ditz
- Meganekko
- Tsundere (Type B: nice to mostly everyone, but tends to be a cocky bitch to Mist. Of course, sometimes she DOES act nice)
- Victorious Childhood Friend (If she gets picked as the partner for Mist; otherwise, she's the Unlucky Childhood Friend)
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair (More like turquoise, really...)
Sheldia Rouge
17 years-old with a loli-ish face. Sheldia met Mist after he escapes from Atreim to her home planet "Bezaard". Unfortunately, the Edax attacks the planet and she loses not only Mist, but also her sister. She ends up stranded on Earth, and unfortunately is found by an enemy group. Thankfully, both Mist and Angelica encounter her and bring her to their side. Not quite the jealous girl like Angelica, since she's quite cheery.
She uses the machine Serius II, which seems to concentrate more on melee compared to Angelica's, who's more on ranged attack. Sheldia embodies these tropes:
EDAX
The main enemy of Super Robot Wars K, found by Eldritch Abomination Lu Cobol, once defeated by the Crusians and had his fragments hidden in planets across the galaxy. Now existing as an energy being, Lu Cobol seeks to reform himself by destroying every planet with his fragments. The rest of the Edax are entities with his fragments attached as symbiotic parasites, but not all are loyal to him though. Of two people that happens to be possessed by the symbiotic parasites are Angelica's father Elric and Sheldia's sister Remu. Tropes associated with the Edax:
- Big Bad Wannabe (Verinee might not be as severe as Juergen, but being one of the earlier original villains to be killed by Gil Barg (Dangaioh) instead of Mist & co. puts her here.)
- Creepy Child (The possesed Remu)
- Earthshattering Kaboom (At least two planets are crushed by the Edax and it's clear there were lots more before those two)
- Eldritch Abomination (Lu Cobol)
- Energy Beings (Lu Cobol remains as this throughout K)
- Genius Bruiser (Ispeil's a Mad Scientist who fuses himself with a Humongous Mecha armed with the heaviest weapons among Lu Cobol's dragons)
- Improbable Weapon User (Ispeil's said weapon is in the form of some sort of croquet mallet, which he uses to hit the enemy golf style)
- One-Winged Angel (Lu Cobol emerges in the Arceus after Gustadio's destroyed; it even has angelic wings)
- Petting Zoo People (Verinee and her troops; they all pilot wolf-like mecha)
- Sealed Evil in a Can (The Crusians hid Lu Cobol's fragments in planets across the galaxy)
- The Grim Reaper (Gazum's Zenadiye, complete with Sinister Scythe)
