History Characters / BloodyRoar

* {{Kuudere}}

* JigglePhysics - A rare male version... [[FlatWhat What.]]

* LethalJokeCharacter - When Uriko's moves are done correctly, that bubbly cat girl that trips over her own feet is will buzzsaw through your health in record time with [[DifficultButAwesome elaborate combos and attack strings]].

* GameBreaker - gets banned from competitive and tournament level play for a reason. See SNKBoss below for details.
* LightningBruiser - a literal example, given the speed and power of her chimera form; not to mention all the lightning spam.

* SNKBoss - as the series bonus boss character, she dominates the majority of the cast in her human form alone, due to blinding speed, near instantaneous attack/recovery time, unfair priority, and equal parts teleport/lightning spam. ItGetsWorse in chimera form, where she gains massive increases in reach, [[LigntningBruiser attack power, and stamina while retaining all her speed, despite her large frame]], and many of the advantages of her human form. Plus, she "borrows" several moves from the other characters and uses them to greater effect. Is it any wonder she gets banned?

Prince of the kingdom of zoanthropes, Cronos disliked the constant feuds that occur between the humans and zoanthropes and seeked out a way to unite the two races. He grew suspicious toward his father Orion's experiments, and equally so to the fact nobody would tell him the truth regarding the deaths of his mother and best friend Jane.

* LethalJokeCharacter - When Uriko's moves are done correctly, that bubbly cat girl that trips over her own feet is a force to be reckon with

* FanDisservice - Some of his moves, both idle and attacking. He can even ''hump the sky''.

* SNKBoss

Prince of the kingdom of zoanthropes, Cronos disliked the constant feuds that occur between the humans and zoanthropes and seeked out a way to unite the two races. He grew suspicious toward his father Orion's experiments, and equally so to the fact nobody would tell him the truth regarding the deaths of his mother and best friend Jane. His phoenix form and his rare ability to have two beast forms were of particularly high interests in this research and so he himself also became an experiment, including wearing clothes equipped with sensors. Although he is kind, polite and dedicated to protecting his people, he is also naive and chokeheld to following Orion despite knowing full well it is a bad idea.

* AGodAmI - sort of
* AnIcePerson - His penguin form utilizes ice-type moves.
* {{Antihero}}
* CampGay / BlindIdiotTranslation - Due to bad wording from the main site that made his interest in playing mundane sport games under the guise of a commoner with other villagers sound like he secretly plays with guys, [[FanDumb a good number of times]] he's portrayed in fanon tends to put him under this light. His fighting style doesn't help matters any.
* DanceBattler: Not only can Cronos kick your ass with no effort, but he does it while doing the tango!
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* DrivenToSuicide - In his ending when he confronts his father on the truth of the experiments, he had no hesitation to kill himself to avoid continuing the projects, but Orion stopped him.
* DummiedOut - He ''would'' have been in Bloody Roar 4, but in addition to complications between his differing beast forms and the game's new interface, [[WordOfGod a brief interview]] gave a passing mention that he "wasn't dark enough" to fit into the game's theme.
* EnemyWithin - Somewhat implied between him and his phoenix form.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins - combined with LethalJokeCharacter
* PlayingWithFire - His phoenix form
* SelfMadeOrphan - Implied that he in his phoenix form wiped out his entire home village and killed his mother among others. However, it's either played straight or subverted depending on [[WildMassGuessing if Uranus and his mother are one in the same]].
* SNKBoss
* SuperpoweredEvilSide - Cronos and his penguin form are rather passive, calm and not entirely threatening. His phoenix form however is a pyromanic monster hell-bent on killing everything in a glorious blaze.
* TheScrappy - Many portrayals of him in fanfiction especially often involve bashing him to no end and making him a [[{{Wangst}} gay, whiny, emo]] [[TheLibby snobbish brat]] who often is killed in various different gruesome ways, even though he really didn't do anything in the series to be considered a scrappy, and he was never really shown as wangst-ridden, spoiled or gay either (bar the above mistranslation).
* WarriorPrince
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!Debuting in Bloody Roar 4
!!Nagi Kirishima (the Spurious)

During the time Xion had been possessed by the unborn and trying to kill off other zoanthropes posessing the XGC mark, Nagi had passed by him only to be mortally wounded trying to stop him. At this time, Gaia had copied the unborn and sealed the duplicate inside Nagi, allowing her to survive the attack. This power had otherwise remained dormant afterwards during the time Yugo and the others had disarmed Xion and freed him from the unborn's grasp. A year later when Xion was possessed again and seeked out Gaia's dragon Ryoho, the spurious inside Nagi had awakened again in response, prompting her to seek out Xion to find out why she had this power. Eventually, she herself had also been posessed by the unborn, and depending on the ending she had either succeeded in her task Gaia intended for her of killing the unborn or being used by the unborn to kill Gaia's dragon. She is playful, friendly and good hearted, but her spurious form is more vicious and lusts over blood.

* BareYourMidriff
* BrainwashedAndCrazy - while under the unborn's control.
* CaptainErsatz - During human form, she looks a wee bit like [[DeadOrAlive Kasumi]].
* DarkChick - Especially when a spurious and/or posessed by the unborn.
* HalfHumanHybrid - She's an incomplete version of an unborn. Incidentally, it's because of this fact that Uriko was renamed as a full-fledged "cat" to avoid confusion, despite the fact Nagi was explicitly called a Spurious and not a Half-Beast.
* MeaningfulName - the term "Spurious" refers to something fake, or otherwise used to class something inherently different, but technically alike to something. Although referred to more as "incomplete" than outright "fake", the latter is poked at by Xion.
* MsFanservice
* PantyShot - Her skirts are so short it's inevidable. At least one cutscene ''blatantly focuses on it''.
* PowerDyesYourHair - Her hair changes from brown to red in her spurious form.
* RedEyesTakeWarning - When controlled by the unborn
* [[RedheadedHero Red Headed Heroine]] - In her spurious form.
* ShowSomeLeg - Skirt? What skirt? You call ''that'' a skirt?
* {{Stripperific}} - If you think her wardrobe isn't skimpy enough, wait til she rips parts of it as a spurious...
* SplitPersonality / SuperpoweredEvilSide - Nagi has a part of Gaia in her blood and goes crazy when she's under control of the unborn.
** Her spurious form may also count, as while Nagi is mostly playful and similar to Uriko in personality, her spurious side is shown to laugh at dicing up her foes and is very sadistic.

!!Reiji (the Crow)

A member of a flock of crows who was a part of the Yatagarasu, the clan had passed on the ability to transform, but also sealed this ability until a member is judged as an adult. Reiji, who was an heir to one of the four clan's leaders, had his seal broken prematurely during the XGC mark incident, and with it he used his powers to tear up the clan out of his destructive nature and bitterness against them. He fled from the temple of his clans and seeked out powerful zoanthropes to challenge and kill, all the while avoiding the remaining Yatagarasu members pursuing him. He's very cocky, cruel, bash and dangerous, and looks down at everyone as being weaker than him.

* BigBadassBirdOfPrey - Although a crow instead of some other bigger, deadlier bird, [[FanNickname crowanthropes]] are on a whole other level from their normal-crow counterparts.
* MagnificentBastard
* SelfMadeOrphan - He killed his own father once he gained his powers.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!!Mana (the Ninetails)

A young girl who was raised in a temple that believed in a religion that combined Buddhism and Shinto religions together. She was part of a group of ninetails zoanthropes whom alongside the Yatagarasu, had served as guardians and seal masters for Gaia's dragon. Her older sister had performed the last sealing of the dragon when it awoken after the Unborn attacked the temple, leading to her death. Mana then took over her sister's duties where she had joined Ryoho when he recovered without any memory of the incident, ensuring the dragon remains asleep and the seal in-tact while Ryoho, in turn, protects her from those who try to catch her for her powers as a Ninetails. When she felt the seal start to come loose, she tried to seek out other more powerful zoanthropes who can challenge the dragon when she breaks the seal, and then weaken it enough for her to apply a new seal. Due to being young, her Ninetails form is an adolescent who resembles a normal fox with only one tail. She remains mature and true to her duties, but she's still a little girl at heart, being naive, enjoys playing and likes to eat cake.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
* {{Miko}}

!!Ryoho (the Dragon)

He belonged to a clan that combined Buddhism and Shinto religion together. This clan had protected and guarded his dragon form, and were in charge of sealing the dragon whenever it comes first. Ryoho is the vessel of the dragon, and although he is aware of its presence, he rarely has memory of what happens in the time he takes on the dragon's form. During one incident that the dragon was released out of sensing the Unborn entering its temple, Ryoho had woken up to find a young girl named Mana from a clan of Ninetails. He grew close to the girl and protected her while she secretly did the same for him, and struggles whenever he senses the unborn or his seal coming loose. He's very serious and intimidating, but he is quite compassionate, gentle (particularly to Mana) and strong-willed in battle. He respects his opponents as well, challenging them as a human before unleashing the dragon on them.

* AGodAmI - or at least TheDragon of one
* BadassBeard
* BaldOfAwesome
* BareFistedMonk
* EnemyWithin - himself versus the dragon.
* FakeDifficulty - His dragon form has a few beast drives that can instantly kill you if it hits, while everything else that doesn't can break through your guard like a knife through butter.
* ParentalSubstitute - he is a father figure to Mana.
* PlayingWithFire - His dragon form can breathe fire in a beast drive and shoot fire balls as a special attack or an alternative beast drive.
* RedEyesTakeWarning - When he loses control of his dragon transformation
* SealedBadassInACan - Ryoho's dragon form is so powerful it has to be sealed away.
* SNKBoss
* TheDragon

! Debuting in Bloody Roar: The Fang
!!Fang (the Wolf)

The main protagonist of the manga, Fang detects the presence of other zoanthropes as well as a dark being who would be resurrected when four talismans would come together. He seeks out to prevent this union and befriends a zoanthrope girl he met named Machiro as well as use his ability to deliver punches capable of breaking a zoanthrope's transformation and reverting them to human form. He shows traits more common in traditional lycanthropy in that he can sometimes expose fangs and claws. He, like Yugo, is also brave and daring, but a bit slow at times while showing a great deal of care for Machiro.

* {{Expy}} - WordOfGod confirmed this is an intended case between him and Yugo.
* GuestFighter - He was originally from the [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] manga and in the Japan version of Primal Fury before appearing in all localizations of Extreme.

!!Machiro (the rabbit)

A young school girl who hides her abilities as a zoanthrope. When she meets Fang, she helps him in the fight against other vagrant zoanthropes who were causing trouble in the area. She has a gentle personality and worries a lot for Fang's sake.

* HalfHumanHybrid - Unlike Alice, Machiro is only partially a rabbit.

* JigglePhysics - A rare male version... [[FlatWhat. What.]]

* MeaningfulName - at least, if the rumors of her being a vampire are to be believed: when read in Japanese, her surname, Burtory, reads the same as [[ElizabethBathory Báthory]]. Incidentally, there is a French singer named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenifer_Bartoli Jenifer Bartoli]], though she is too young for the character to be based on her.

* MeaningfulName - at least, if the rumors of her being a vampire are to be believed: when read in Japanese, her surname, Burtory, reads the same as [[ElizabethBathory Báthory]].

* {{Chickification}} - In her debut she is a shining example of a tomboy who only had a few hints (as obvious as they are) that she's a girl. By Primal Fury she's taken a huge leap toward being more feminine overall, down to painting her nails and mentioning she wears dresses.

* [[{{ptitlekmxl4p7e1yni}} Will They Won't They]] - One minute she and Yugo are as close as a canon couple, the next minute she'll show an urge to kill Yugo for nearly killing them both. There's quite a bit of teasing as far as how close the two are.

* [[{{ptitlekmxl4p7e1yni}} Will They Won't They]] There's quite a bit of hints between him and Jenny.

* [[{{ptitlekmxl4p7e1yni}} Will They Won't They]] There's a few hints here and there between her and Gado.

* [[{{ptitlekmxl4p7e1yni}} Will They Won't They]] There's a lot of ship teasing between him and Alice, and slightly rushed in doing the same between him and Nagi.

[[quoteright:285:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bakuryuicon_123.jpg]]

!!Jin/Shen Long (the Tiger)

[[quoteright:285:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/longicon_9042.jpg]]

* JigglePhysics - A rare male version... [[FanDisservice urgh...]]

* LawfulEvil - As caring as he can be, he would still betray Cronos in a heartbeat if he was ordered to do so.

* LawfulEvil - As much as he dislikes his father's cruel experiments, he's still forced to go along with it.

* TheScrappy / CharacterDerailment - Many portrayals of him in fanfiction especially often involve bashing him to no end and making him a [[{{Wangst}} gay, whiny, emo]] [[TheLibby snobbish brat]] who often is killed in various different gruesome ways, even though he really didn't do anything in the series to be considered a scrappy, and he was never really shown as wangst-ridden, spoiled or gay either (bar the above mistranslation).

One of Tylon's top assassins, all he wanted was to become the most powerful zoanthrope in the whole world and thus had allowed Tylon to perform countless of experiments on him to increase his abilities. Although he proves to have incredible strength, this does not bode well for him as the experiments have left his body unstable, making him die an incredibly painful and unnatural death when his body melts and liquifies into puss. The remains of his tissue were kept by remnants of Tylon and later used to create Kohryu. Kenji had also been brainwashed to become an incarnation of sorts to Bakuryu, even sharing his name.

!!Jin/Shin Long (the Tiger)

* ItIsPronouncedTro-PAY - The games are undecided on how Xion's name is pronounced out loud. Primal Fury would pronounce it as "Z-on", yet 4 pronounces it as "shion".

She was orphaned during the war and found by Gado, where she was adopted as his own and named "Shina". Influenced by Gado's role as a powerful mercenary, she had demonstrated her incredible capabilities in battle by single-handedly taking out an entire platoon's worth when she was 13, earning her the nickname from fellow mercenaries as "Fighting Marvel". Gado had not wanted her to follow in his footsteps and tried to distance himself from her when called for duty to give her a chance at a normal life, but she grew up to become a mercenary instead to fight along side him. She fights against the ZLF, a group who lives and breathes of vicious terroism, but when her own group had sent her out to find the tabula with less than honorable intents on how to use the power it held, she had disobeyed orders and went A-Wall. She temporarily lived a quiet life in an isolated house lined with old land mines, but was reinstated in the military again by 4. She is a tomboy and can be very agressive and stubborn in her actions, especially in regards to leaping into the front lines while ignoring warnings of its dangers, although deep down (as rarely as she shows it), she can go soft and be gentle.

* JigglePhysics - A rare male version... [[{{Squick}} urgh...]]

* HotAmazon - Being a mercenary since she was a child, she is most likely the strongest of the ladies physically (and also noticably buffer than the other females, averting MusclesAreMeaningless). She also has a few... [[DistractedByTheSexy distracting costumes]]. Did we mention that she's [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench French?]]

* HeyItsThatVoice - MikaKanai

* GoAskAlice - Alice turns into a white rabbit.

* HiredGuns - In her debut she was a mercenary, but afterwards she went A-Wall until 4 (oddly enough).

* TheWoobie - Stun

!!Yugo Oogami (the Wolf)

The main protagonist of the game, Yugo was the son of a mercenary who was killed during a conspiracy revolving around Tylon. He is the leader of a resistance group of zoanthropes against Tylon called W.O.C. (World of Coexistence), and was a former boxer. He adopts Kenji as his younger brother. He's upbeat, brave and has heroic tendencies, but can be stubborn, hot-headed and a bit slow.

* GuestFighter - Yugo pops up in DreamMix TV World Fighters, a Mascot Fighter featuring characters from Konami, Hudson, and Takara.

!!Alice Nonomura (the Rabbit)

* GirlishPigtails - Until Primal Fury/Extreme. Complete with [[GotToHaveBlueHair blue hair]].

A legendary mercenary, his journey to seek out his former war buddy Yuji had led him to Tylon's morbid experiments and focused on taking them down. In doing so he had encountered a young orphaned girl he named Shina and adopted her as his daughter. Later on in the war against Tylon, he grows saddened on the ongoing racism between humans and zoanthropes and works toward becoming a leader in the movement towards uniting the two races. He appears intimidating and imposing, but is really understanding and kind-hearted especially to his daughter, whom he worries for especially during times she bites more than she can chew.

!!Shin Long (the Tiger)

Torn by the death of his mother and sister and neglected entirely by his father, Long ran away from home and trained himself, leading to Tylon recognizing his incredible fighting skill and powerful beast form to enlist him as among their top assassins. At one point, however, Long had cut himself loose from Tylon suddenly and went on his own way, leading him to be branded as a traitor and hunted by his former employer. After successfully cutting all ties from Tylon, he hid himself in seclusion to meditate while living a hermit life. Uriko had eventually found him and through his agreement to train her, he eventually also came around and returned to the public. He had thus began to focus on how to repent for all the murders and deeds he commited while he was an assassin, as well as make up for the guilt he have for killing his sister while in his beast form. While under Tylon's orders, he is considered cold and calculating, but after he dropped his ties to them he had shown himself to be much more calmer and soft-spoken, displaying an intelligent but calculating nature. After murdering his sister, he resents his beast side and considers his blood cursed. He was used by Tylon to bring forth his clone Shenlong.

A zoanthrope who lived in secret among the humans with her daughter Uriko. When Uriko had been kidnapped, Mitsuko relentlessly pursued Tylon to rescue her. While doing so, Alice had assisted in rescuing Uriko as well, where out of gratitude Mitsuko had adopted Alice as her own daughter. Later on she was jumped by a group of men from the ZLF and kidnapped, eventually being rescued by both Uriko and Alice. She is a very hardy woman who is no-nonsense, serious and strict, but is shown to have incredibly strong love and care for her daughters.

* HalfHumanHybrid - As a half-beast she's only partially a cat.
* LethalJokeCharacter - When Uriko's moves are done correctly, that bubbly catgirl that trips over her own feet is a force to be reckon with

!!Kenji Oogami/Bakuryu II (the Mole)

* NinjaLog - one of his {{VictoryPose}}s.

!!Jane 'Shina/Marvel' Gado (the Leopard)

* OneManArmy - She ''took down an entire platoon'' when she was '''''10''''', just because she was looking for Gado. Her nickname as Marvel isn't there for nothing.

* [[{{ptitlekmxl4p7e1yni}} Will They Won't They]] There's a few hints here and there between her and Gado]].

* ButtMonkey

!!Kohryu (the Iron Mole)

SuperpoweredEvilSide - His unborn side is sometimes seen in this light, being homicidal and ruthless, whereas Xion himself is calm and neutral.

!!Ganesha (the Elephant)

!!Cronos (the Penguin/Phoenix)

* TheScrappy / CharacterDerailment - Many portrayals of him in fanfiction especially often involve bashing him to no end and making him a [[{{Wangst}} gay, whiny emo brat]] who often is killed in various different gruesome ways, even though he really didn't do anything in the series to be considered a scrappy, and he was never really shown as wangst-ridden or gay either (bar the above mistranslation).

!!Fang (the Wolf)

!!Ryoho (the Dragon)
