Words Worth/Characters


note: Need help with character images (preferably from the anime), since I don't know how to format them. Any assistance is appreciated.

Tribe of Shadow

Prince Astral

The Protagonist son of King Wortoshika, thus, Prince of the Tribe of Shadow and Sharon's fiancee. For the most part, he's the typical sword slinging fantasy hero... except perverted. In the end, he's revealed to be Pollux's biological son.

King Wortoshika

King of the Tribe of Shadow and Astral's adoptive father. Wortoshika's fearsome appearance and large stature makes him an imposing figure, to say the least. In the end, Tessio and Menza kill Wortoshika, after forcing him to watch as they savagely rape Rita in order to scrape his seed from her womb to prevent her from becoming pregnant with his child.

  • Curb Stomp Battle: Rita was never a threat to him and it's made clear that he was well aware of it. Wortoshika seemed to find it amusing that she even tried.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: The guy's no saint, but he's a paragon of virtue compared to Fabris.
  • Forced to Watch: As Tessio and Menza ravage Rita's insides to scrape his seed from her womb. Thus preventing her from becoming pregnant with his child so The Prophecy couldn't be fulfilled.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Several times before he could no longer stand.
  • Killed Off for Real: He lives long enough to tell Astral the reason why he never allowed him to obtain a Swordsman Seal, and his true place of origion before he slips away.
    • I Did What I Had to Do: As he explains: It was his reason for taking Astral from the Tribe of Light, when he was a child, and arranging for him to wed Sharon, who's of the Tribe of Shadow. He had hoped that the child that was to come from their union, having Light and Shadow Tribe ancestry, would then go on to fulfill the prophecy and unite the two worlds. When Astral went missing, and the Words Worth tablet nearing completion, he became desperate and resorted to raping Rita, who's of the Light Tribe, to sire a child with their combined ancestry. In the end, all he wanted was to unite their worlds and bring an end to their war.
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The mere thought of having to face Wortoshika to see if he was worthy of a Swordsman Seal was enough to make Astral haul ass! Later, during the fourth episode, Rita goes brimming with confidence to shaking in her boots when he tells her who he is!
  • Parental Substitute: For Astral, whose biological father was Pollux.
  • Rape Is Love: With Astral missing, and presumably dead, he rapes Rita, believing he needed to sire a child with a woman from the Tribe of Light in order to fulfill the prophecy. By the time they're done, it's plain to see that she's fallen for him.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: In spite of his fearsome appearance.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Wortoshika did everything in his power to end over one hundred years of sensless war and bloodshed, including kidnapping Astral, while he was still a child, and later, resorting to rape when Astral disappeared and was believed dead.

Sharon

One of the Tribe of Shadow's generals and easily one of their fiercest combatants. She also happens to be Astral's fiance, which she initially has mixed feelings about. Sharon falls for him after he saves her from being raped by King Fabris.

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Fabris becomes obsessed with Sharon, upon first seeing her in battle. She isn't flattered by the attention.
  • Action Girl: One of the fiercest you'll find in a hentai series. Even Ceasar has a hard time keeping pace with her, given that she faired better against Fabris than he did. Later, she stalemates versus Astral, and even takes part in the final battle against Tessio and Menza!
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Poor Ceasar, he really does love her, and wants her as his bride. But her heart belongs to Astral.
  • Arranged Marriage: To Astral. She initially has mixed feelings about it, but eventually developes genuine affection for him.
  • Badass Normal: Sharon's prowess is truly astounding to say she neither has supernatural ability or superhuman ability of any kind. Instead, it is the result of years of training and experience that have fostered such skill; enabling her to battle the likes of Fabris, and ancient evils such as Tessio and Menza!
  • Cross-Popping Veins: Gets one when she and Mew witness Astral getting a little too cozy with Nina.

Mew: (in alarm) "She's hugging him!"
Sharon: (with cross-popping vein) "He's holding her tight!"

  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Toward Astral.
  • Get It Over With: After suffering defeat at the hands of Fabris, she tells him to kill her; preferring to die, than be defiled by him.
  • Good People Have Good Sex: She consummates her engagement to Astral after twenty years of separation. Their lovemaking accounts for nearly half of the final episode.
  • Hair Decorations: Her crescent moon shaped hair clips.
  • Hair of Gold: Has long golden locks.
  • Hot Chick with a Sword: Gorgeous, a smoking hot bod, and can take on a small army. It's no wonder Astral, Ceasar, and Fabris all want her.
  • Kuudere: For much of the series. At least, until Astral proves himself to her. From then on, she begins to warm up to him.
  • Lady of War: Calm, reserved, graceful with a sword, and rides into battle atop her steed.
    • One Woman Army: Sharon must be seen to be believed. Fabris outright stated her prowess surpassed Ceasar's and, during the Outter Stories, Astral actually takes a moment to admire her in action.
  • Panty Shot: She inadvertantly gives Astral one when she leaps over his head to mount up for battle.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Almost as long as Sakaki's. Meaning, it's past her waist.
  • Rescue Romance: This is what causes Sharon's opinion of Astral to change. She formerly regarded him as indecisive and unreliable. After he saves her from nearly being raped by Fabris, and holds him off, she realizes she can depend on him after all.
  • The Rival: She apparently sees Mew as a romantic rival for Astral's affections. Justified since Mew slept with him too.
  • When She Smiles: Seen during her reunion with Astral. Say it with me: "Aaaawwwwww."

Nina

A Catgirl who administers the exam for the Swordsmen Seal and grants one to those who successfully complete it. She also harbors feelings for Astral, which is why she helps him obtain a Swordsman Seal against Wortoshika's wishes. After the time skip, she has a daughter, Ariadne, which resulted from consummating her relationship with Astral.

Ceasar

The Shadow Tribe's other general, and childhood friend of Sharon. While he is reknowned for his skill with a blade, he'd much rather be known as Sharon's husband and seeks her hand in marriage. Sadly, while Sharon is touched by his affections and admires him for his strength, the feeling isn't mutual.

  • Bishonen: So bishie, he could almost pass for Byakuya Kuchiki with white hair.
  • Dude, She's Like, in a Coma: In the game, Sharon becomes effected by an aphrodisiac from Fabris' dagger; forcing her to withdraw from the battle when it begins to hinder her performance. Ceasar, fully aware of this, and frustrated over Sharon choosing Astral over him, nearly takes advantage of the situation. Thankfully, his conscience gets the better of him preventing him from actually going through with it.
  • Hopeless Suitor: He had hoped he and Sharon could be together sometime after the war, and makes his intentions clear to her in the fourth episode. She was flattered, but politely declines.
  • Just Friends: As seen in the preceding entry, directly above. We feel your pain, Ceasar.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: For all his fame and skill with a blade, he cannot match Sharon's ability. This becomes evident when he attempts to face King Fabris, who defeats him in short order. Not only does Sharon outlast Ceasar, Fabris himself notes the difference in their ability.

Fabris: (admirably) "I'm impressed. You're much better at this than Ceasar. However, even you can't hope to match MY ability!"

  • Unlucky Childhood Friend: To Sharon, whose heart belongs to Astral. In the anime, he acquiesces. In the game, however, he's not as accepting. Or gracious....
    • However, should the player chose Nina, Delta, or Mew, the epilogue mentions that he and Sharon begin living together; hinting at the possibility of a Relationship Upgrade.

Stallion

A lecherous horseman, who serves as both a foot soldier and the jailor for the Tribe of Shadow. Known for taking female Light Tribe prisoners to his special "torture chamber", where he rapes them with varying degrees of success.

Delta

A demon, more likely a Succubus, who's a childhood friend of Astral and Sharon. She appears briefly in the beginning, but plays a much larger role during the latter half of the series. She's gets raped by Tessio and Menza's true form, during which, she becomes enslaved to them. Afterwhich, they send her to seduce and assassinate "Pollux".

  • Brainwashed and Crazy: By the time Tessio and Menza get through with her, she's their slave. They send her to seduce and assassinate "Pollux", who's true identity is Astral, albeit suffering from amnesia. She succeeds in the seduction, but Rita prevents her from carrying out the assassination.
  • Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: On the one hand, if she hadn't been snooping, she wouldn't have been captured and raped by Tessio and Menza. On the other hand, if she hadn't done that, she wouldn't have been able to tell Astral and the others about them either. Or lead them to where Nina and Ariadne were being held prisoner.
  • Cute Little Fangs: As part of the monster-girl image.
  • Cute Monster Girl: A straighter example than Nina, given her pale grey skin, and other features. Specifically: bat wings, and clawed hands and feet.
  • Femme Fatalons: Delta has them on her hands and her feet, and they're all natural.
  • Oh Crap: Delta's reaction once she realizes she's been caught snooping by the big bads and is about to pay for it.
  • Rape as Drama: The means by which Delta is enslaved, then ordered to seduce and kill her childhood friend: Astral. Thankfully, she recovers.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Her hair is even longer than Sharon's!
  • Succubus: While never explicitly stated, this seems to be her monster type, given how easily she seduced "Pollux". Along with the fact that even Stallion --who has no interest in Shadow Tribe women-- still finds her attractive.
  • You Gotta Have Cyan Hair: Cool blue to compliment her pale skin.

Tribe of Light

King Fabris

King of the Tribe of Light and, presumably, Wortoshika's equal both in prowess and stature. He serves as the primary antagonist for much of the series until Tessio and Menza reveal themselves to be the true Big Bad.

Fabris: (watches Sharon) "That woman..."
Club: (inquisitive) "You know her, Sire?"
Fabris: (lecherous grin) "No. I just want to fuck her."

  • Attempted Rape: Tries to make good on his designs for Sharon immediately upon defeating her in battle. Interference from Hyde and, moments later, Astral, keeps it from happening.
  • Badass Normal: No magic. No superpowers. Now take a look at the Four-Star Badass entry below!
  • Dirty Old Man: Lusts after Sharon, who looks young enough to be his 19-22 year old daughter.
  • Four-Star Badass: The man bested Ceasar and Sharon back-to-back without a moments rest inbetween, and barely flinched when he lost his arm to Astral! It's no wonder he's in charge of the Light Tribe's army.
  • Kill the Cutie: Alas, poor Hyde.
  • Light Is Not Good: Understatement.
    • Fabris repeatedly has his army invade the Shadow Tribe's domain in order to procure the fragments of the Words Worth tablet for himself, expresses his desire to rape Sharon, several times, and attempts to make good on it immediately after defeating her in combat, kills poor Hyde for interfering, and takes advantage of Astral's amnesia by turning him against his homeland. Fabris will NEVER win any awards for 'Mr. Nice Guy'.
  • Manipulative Bastard: He takes advantage of Astral's amnesia, by telling him he's Pollux of the Light Tribe's army. Then weaponizes Astral against his homeland, by having him lead the Light Tribe's final invasion, so he could procure the pieces of the Words Worth tablet for himself.
  • Parental Substitute: Maria's adoptive father.
  • Pet the Dog: Gets a moment like this with his granddaughter, Mew. Then it's back to business as usual.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: For Sharon, though she'd rather die than give him the satisfaction. It doesn't stop him from trying anyway.

Maria

King Fabris' adoptive daughter and a powerful mage for the Tribe of Light. Maria's magic makes her one of their most valuable assests on the field. She's also implied to be Pollux's biological daughter, which would make her Astral's sister.

  • Action Girl: As much as Sharon, at least, for as long as she's onscreen. In her opening scene, she wipes out a significant portion of the Shadow Tribe army on her own. Later, she frees herself, after being captured (and raped), then goes on to rescue Silverna.
  • Brother-Sister Incest: May have been raped by her brother without realizing they were related. See Astral's entry above for the detailed version.
  • Child by Rape: Her daughter, Mew, is implied to be the result of having been raped by Astral.
  • Cry Cute: She uses this on Stallion to make him stop molesting her. It works. So she plays up the water works to get him to return her ring to her. Big mistake.
  • Foot Focus: The anime and some of her official art feature multiple close ups of her feet; which is likely the reason they're so exceptionally well drawn. The fact that she wears sandals ensures you can't help but see them.
  • Hair Decorations: She wears a thin circlet.
  • Immodest Orgasm: So intense it made her pass out!
  • Lady of Black Magic: She may lack Sharon's combat skills, but her magic more than makes up for it. Her magic encompasses the following abilities:
  • Ms. Fanservice: If you appreciate a great pair of legs and dainty feet. In fact, she seems designed with those particular fetishes in mind; not that there's anything wrong with the rest of her!
  • My Significance Sense Is Tingling: In the fourth episode, Maria is seen gazing at the horizon, having sensed an ill omen: at the moment Tessio and Menza assumed their true form to begin their assault on Wortoshika and destroy the near completed Words Worth tablet. By the time her daughter arrives on the veranda, Maria's well aware that all is not well.

Mew: "Mother...."
Maria: (sagely) "I know."
both watch as clouds gather and the sky darkens ominously

  • Older and Wiser: During the timeskip, where she becomes almost sage-like. When Maria removes her mother's ring, she effectively passes the torch and her role onto her daughter, Mew.
  • Out of Focus: From episode three onward. Maria still makes an appearance now and then, but that's about it.
  • Power Echoes: Invoked when she unleashes her Mystral Window, at it's full power, against Astral! Then again, Maria was pissed.
  • Ring of Power: Her mother's ring, which once belonged to Pollux's wife, Maria, after whom she was named. So it has sentimental value as well as magic enhancing ability. She eventually passes it onto her daughter, Mew.
  • She's Got Legs: A luscious pair to compliment all the Foot Focus she receives, and she's got the split seams to show 'em off.
  • Woman Scorned: Her dialouge before annihilating Astral says it all.

Maria: (snide grin) "You actually think I enjoyed having some nasty Shadow man thingy inside me? Heh, You must be crazy! Now you bastard, turned beast, I'll remove you from this world forever, and EVER!!"

Maria: (with ominous echo) "Mystral Window!!

Silverna

A tomboyish fencer of the Light Tribe's army. There are also hints suggesting she may be a cousin of Maria's. She's a support character for much of the first half of the game. In the anime, however....

Mew

An apprentice mage and daughter of Maria, with implications of being Astral's daughter as well. She assumes her mother's role in the story, following the timeskip.

  • Action Girl: Like mother, like daughter.
  • Badass Adorable: Not only does Mew take part in the final battle, she plays a pivotal role in Tessio and Menza's defeat by using her magic to supercharge Astral for the final blow!
  • Black Mage: She's not nearly as proficient as her mother (yet), but her magic is nothing to scoff at.
  • Child by Rape: While it's never confirmed, the implications are there nonetheless. Particularly since Maria is unwed and still single following the timeskip. Nor is she said to have been with anyone, besides Astral, during that time; leaving him as the only plausible candidate for being Mew's father.
  • Foot Focus: Absent in the anime, but occasionally featured in her official art, though not to the same extent as her mother.
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: The disclaimer on the back of the disc cover asserts that all characters depicted in sexual acts, or in the nude, are 18 and older. Yet, Mew plainly states she's just going 18, when asked about her upcoming birthday. Meaning, she's 17 at the time she sleeps with Astral.
  • Good People Have Good Sex: Mew's is the second instance of consensual sex in the series proper.
  • Hair Decorations: Wears a matching pair of red hair ribbons.
  • My Significance Sense Is Tingling: In the fourth episode, Mew stops what she's doing when she senses an ill omen and looks for her mother. By the time she reaches the veranda, Maria is already there, having sensed the disturbance ahead of her.
  • Older Than They Look: Physically, Mew appears to be only 15-16 because she's relatively short, when compared to the other females, and looks younger as well. This is briefly discussed, in series, when Fabris mentions her upcoming birthday. Mew plainly states she'll be 18, which makes her 17.
  • Parental Incest: If it turns out that she really IS Astral's daughter, then yeah. Though, in all fairness, neither of them is aware of it, if it's true.
  • Rescue Romance: First meets Astral (who was amnesiac) when he saves her from being mauled by a rampaging bear. She grows closer to him, during the time he's serves Fabris, until she becomes taken with him.
  • The Rival: Sums up her opinion of Sharon where Astral's affections are concerned.

Rita

An aspiring swordswoman (so she says) from the Tribe of Light. In truth, however, she doesn't seem to know what she's doing; which becomes obvious when they're ambushed by Delta and comically so when she tries to cross swords with Wortoshika!

  • Darkskinned Blonde: See directly below.
  • Expy: Of Mihoshi.
    • Rita not only looks like her (even has the exact same hairstyle), she has the same cheerful upbeat personality and optimism, offset by the same bumbling antics; particularly when she's frightened or in over her head. Likewise, she's the Plucky Comic Relief.
  • Faux Action Girl: For all her hopes of becoming a swordswoman, Rita's off to a very rough start.
    • She initially panics when she and "Pollux" get ambushed by Delta, who uses her succubus charms to seduce him. Though Rita does manage to scare Delta off, just as she was about to assassinate "Pollux", thus, saving his life.
    • Her encounter with Wortoshika was purely comical. In all fairness, however, it was friggin' Wortoshika! So Rita can be forgiven for panicking, as well as giving up. Still, she may want to start small and work her way up. She'll live longer.
  • Get It Over With: She tries invoke this, after she forfeits against Wortoshika, by casting her sword aside and sprawling on the ground, awaiting to be killed. It doesn't go the way she planned.
  • Panty Shot: She gives "Pollux" an eyeful they're pink! while they're crawling through an airshaft. Then gives him a faceful when she stops, unexpectedly, and backs into him!
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Tenchi fans will take one look at her and know what to expect. The only times Rita isn't used for comedy or to cut tension, is when she's being victimised.
  • Rape as Drama: For a significant portion of the final two episodes. Tessio and Menza begin their sexual assault on Rita near the end of the fourth chapter and continue well into the fifth; wherein, they force Wortoshika to watch, as he lies dying, while they ravage Rita's womb to prevent her from becoming pregnant with his child. All to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.
  • Rape Is Love: As previously stated under Wortoshika's examples. This becomes especially evident when he dies from the injuries he sustained, while trying to save her from Tessio and Menza. Rita breaks down in tears.

Pollux
