History Characters / SymBionicTitan

* GoGetterGirl: She joined the Promm Comittee and was quickly elected TheLeader.

* GranolaGirl / HippieChick: Appears as one because of her overtly friendliness and peace-loving nature.

** BadassAngster: He has just as much angst as that famous crimefighter too; including the dead parents!
* BadassDriver: Just ''look'' at what he does in episode 5.
* {{Badbutt}}: Doesn't swear.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be pretty intense when it comes to protecting Ilana, evidently shown in the second episode, but he's well-intentioned and will try to make up for his wrongs -- such as destroying the robot that he accidently led back to the neighborhood and getting Ilana the [[PetTheDog snow globe]] she was admiring from the furniture store.\\\

Interestingly, Lance often avoids the ConflictBall with Ilana. As well as the fact that as the episodes go on, Lance is slowly mellowing out (or at least he's not as HotBlooded as he used to be).

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]] Over the course of the show.

!!Kimmy

->Voiced by Creator/KariWahlgren

!!Brandon

* {{Badass}}: Episode 4 sees him briefly become something that resembles [[{{Batman}} a certain famous badass crimefighter that doesn't possess supernatural abilities]].

* Jerkass

->Voiced by Kevin Thoms

-> Voiced by: JamesArnoldTaylor

* UglyGuyHotGirlfriend: With Kimmy.

->Voiced by: VanessaMarshall

-> Voiced by: VanessaMarshall

* GoodFeelsGood: His brief stint as 'the shadow', a vigilantee, is the only time he's been happy.

* BadassDamsel: She's a princess. Princesses get kidnapped repeatedly without a fight, right? '''Not this one.'''
* BadassNormal
* BadassPrincess: Kind of a given since she's also an ActionGirl.

* [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Everything's Better With Princesses]]
* FallenPrincess
* FishOutOfWater / NoSocialSkills

* GoGetterGirl

* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her princess dress.

* {{The Hero}}ine

* MagicSkirt: Whenever she wears one.

* PluckyGirl

* SpockSpeak: Similar to that of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Starfire]] (even though she's voiced by ''[[TaraStrong Raven]]''). This lasts for only the first few episodes, however.

* ZettaiRyouiki: A marvelous Class B, [[DependingOnTheArtist Class A in other shots]].

* {{Badass}}: Hoo boy.
* BadassNormal: Episode 4 sees him briefly become something that resembles [[{{Batman}} a certain famous badass crimefighter that doesn't possess supernatural abilities]].
* BadassAngster

* BadassLonghair
* {{Badbutt}}
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Somewhat averted in the rather {{Squick}}-inducing interrogation Xishi pulls on him and when the audience clearly sees him get bruised for good measure by the G3 interrogator.
* TheBigGuy

* CaptainErsatz: He basically ''is'' [[Manga/GetterRobo Hyato Jin]], right down to the hairstyle. Specifically, the aloof but chivalrous Hyato Jin of the 1970s anime, as opposed to the violent psychopath from the manga and DarkerAndEdgier later anime.
* ChickMagnet: Every girl at school practically worships the ground he walks on, but he can't actually work up the nerve to pursue the one he actually likes. The one time he asked she turned him down, but that was more because of his choice of locale rather than denying him personally.

* DeclarationOfProtection: To Ilana. And he takes his job [[BerserkButton very]] [[HotBlooded seriously]].
* DistressedDude: A couple times.
* DisappearedDad: Vanished through a prototype rift gate and is presumed dead. Though when he was a kid, he believed he's still alive. And always hoped he would come back and take him home. But after his terrible first year at the military academy, he accepted that he's dead.

* MrFanservice: Perhaps best exemplified with the ShirtlessScene in the third episode. And lampshaded in the fourth episode:

* GenreSavvy: He knows that any time Ilana gets excited about something it probably won't end well and in "A Family Crisis" he flat out states that nothing good will come from leaving to rescue Solomon.

* TheLancer: Doubles as MeaningfulName.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Lance has more than once managed to create quite the mess due to his insensitivity and quick-tempered nature.
* OneManArmy: Lance, to the point that the Galaluna Military seems to think his mere presence would be enough to turn the tide of the war they've already lost.

* SelfMadeMan: He had some support from the king and General Modula, but other than that he was pretty much on his own.

* ShrinkingViolet: If "Disenfranchised" was any indication, he doesn't like being the center of attention very much and even shrinks away at Ilana's accidental announcement of his playing in a band. Of course he my just be GenreSavvy enough to know that once Ilana starts making a big deal out of something it's bound to end in disaster.
* SourSupporter: On his worse days.

* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: Played straight and PlayedForLaughs.

* TheComicallySerious: He manages to pull off a lot of witty one-liners without even seeming to try. And when he actually does try to make jokes, [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny they're so nerdy that no one else gets them]]. And if he's in a bad mood, he can become a DeadpanSnarker.

* DoAnythingRobot: So far, Octus has been very versatile. He can even generate solid cash (and other objects) by apparently converting it directly from energy. This may be the same matter-replicators used to make the Titan's weapons.

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: The end of episode 18. Though [[UnexplainedRecovery he recovers]].]]
* HollywoodNerd: His high school disguise. He actually [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this because he actually ends up with [[OddFriendship a Jock friend]] and [[GiveGeeksAChance Kimmy as a girlfriend]]. He seems to be growing in popularity off-screen, too -- his contacts list in "Shaman of Fear" has at least 10 names on it besides "Ilana" and "LANCE".

* PapaWolf: To Lance and Ilana.

* RealMenWearPink: Literally. He wears a pink apron and matching oven mitts when he cooks.

* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Subverted - he understands the concept but doesn't feel it with Kimmy (initially, at least). Instead, he feels 'happy' around her (sounding more like an unusually self-aware teenager than a robot).

->Voiced by BrianPosehn

-> Voiced by: WillFriedle

* IWillProtectHer: To Ilana. And he takes his job [[BerserkButton very]] [[HotBlooded seriously]].

* IWillProtectHer: Most fans seem to forget that he has the same bodyguard mission as Lance, he's just more calm about it. May also extend to his girlfriend Kimmy.

3!Corporal Lance / Lance "Lunis"

[[redirect:{{Characters/Sym-Bionic Titan}}]]

The characters of ''[[SymBionicTitan Sym-Bionic Titan]]'':

----

!Princess Ilana / Ilana "Lunis"
->Voiced by TaraStrong

The princess of the planet Galaluna, Ilana is sent to Earth alongside Lance and Octus for her protection against Modula's forces, disguising themselves as students in Sherman High School. She is compassionate and well-intentioned, but her naivety of human ways causes the student body to label her a "doofus." Ilana and her armor system Corus is the "heart" of the Sym-Bionic Titan.

* ActionGirl
* AnimeHair: Seriously, how does her hair manage to stay up like that? And from the looks of her dad, it apparently runs in the family.
** The one time you actually get to see her hair down is ''very'' briefly when the cheerleaders and she fall into the school pool. Cut to the next scene, and her hair is automatically back up again.
* BadassPrincess
* BarrierWarrior: Corus.
* TheChick / [[TheHero The Heroine]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome
* CloserToEarth
* [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Everything's Better With Princesses]]
* FallenPrincess
* FishOutOfWater / RaisedByWolves
* FragileSpeedster: Corus.
* GenkiGirl
* GranolaGirl / HippieChick: Appears as one because of her overtly friendliness and peace-loving nature.
* HairOfGold
* TheHeart: She's even the heart of the Titan.
* LawfulGood: Willing to bend the rules when things get serious though.
-->'''Ilana:''' Nobody drink the milk! It expired yesterday!
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted to the point where she's now worn four different outfits in a single episode.
* MagicSkirt: Whenever she wears one.
* ThePollyanna
* PluckyGirl
* PoweredArmor
* [[ThePresidentsDaughter The President's Daughter]]: Modula wants Ilana killed so that there is no one in his way to take the Galaluna throne and no one to inspire hope in the people to rebel against him.
* PrincessesPreferPink: So far, her outfits consist of either pink or purple.
** Averted in ''Elephant Logic''! She not only doesn't wear anything bright for a majority of the episode, but goes almost full ElegantGothicLolita on us!
* {{Protectorate}}: Towards Lance.
* RebelliousPrincess
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* SpockSpeak: Similar to that of [[TeenTitans Starfire]].
* SpoiledSweet: Ilana is obviously used to the finer things in life, but she doesn't seem to let that get in the way of saving the day when evil rears its head oh-so-often.
* WellExcuseMePrincess: Between Ilana and Lance.
* WomanInWhite: In Episode 6.
* ZettaiRyouiki: A marvelous Class B, [[DependingOnTheArtist Class A in other shots]].

!Corporal Lance / Lance "Lunis"
->Voiced by Kevin Thoms

A Galaluna soldier and Ilana's bodyguard. Lance is labeled as a "bad boy" at school when he unintentionally draws all the girls' attention. He is not one to back out of a fight and is very protective of Ilana, easily mistaking anything as a threat to her. Lance and his armor system Manus is the "body" of the Sym-Bionic Titan.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys:
-->'''Teacher:''' Care to tell the class a little bit about yourself?
-->'''Lance:''' ... No.
-->[''Girls in the class smile in awe'']
* AlliterativeName: His SecretIdentity name.
* {{Badass}}
* TheBigGuy / TheLancer
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn.
* ChaoticGood: He tends to have run-ins with the human authorities ''a lot''. Given his experiences as a kid, it comes as no surprise.
* ChickMagnet
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* CuteShotaroBoy: When he was a kid.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeadpanSnarker
* DisappearedDad
* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Perhaps best exemplified with the ShirtlessScene in the third episode.
** And lampshaded in the fourth episode:
-->'''Ilana''': [[LampshadeHanging I don't get it.]]
-->'''Octus''': [[TallDarkAndHandsome Dark hair,]] [[WhatBeautifulEyes bedroom eyes,]] [[TallDarkAndSnarky moody demeanor,]] [[HoYay I totally get it.]]
* FishOutOfWater / RaisedByWolves: In his own sort of way, especially when he considers anyone who so much as lays a hand on Ilana as an enemy.
* GoodLookingPrivates
* HeroicVow: To protect Ilana.
* HiddenDepths:
-->'''Ilana:''' Why do you think my father chose somebody so...''strange?''
-->'''Octus:''' Maybe your father sees something in him that none of us do.
* HotBlooded
* IronWoobie: Lance has had a hard life...doesn't stop him from being awesome.
* IWillProtectHer: To Ilana. And he takes his job [[BerserkButton very]] [[HotBlooded seriously]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be pretty [[{{Understatement}} intense]] when it comes to protecting Ilana, evidently shown in the second episode, but he's well-intentioned and will try to make up for his wrongs -- such as destroying the robot that he accidently led back to the neighborhood and getting Ilana the [[PetTheDog snow globe]] she was admiring from the furniture store.
** Interestingly, Lance often avoids the ConflictBall with Ilana.
* LeParkour: Judging by his chasing-down of Ilana when she wanted to go to the mall, he's pretty good at it.
* MeaningfulName: His mech wields a lance and is TheLancer. Reversed, it means an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Corporal actual rank]].
* MightyGlacier: Manus.
* MysteriousPast: And clearly, Lance would prefer it this way.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Lance has more than once managed to create quite the mess due to his insensitivity and quick-tempered nature.
* NotGoodWithPeople
* OneManArmy: Lance, to the point that the Galaluna Military seems to think his mere presence would be enough to turn the tide of the war they've already lost. It might help that none of them seem to have their own HumongousMecha like Lance does, but this alone shouldn't be considered enough to turn the tide.
* SarcasticDevotee
* SelfMadeMan
* ShirtlessScene: So far, he's had more fanservice than Ilana!
* SourSupporter
* SpockSpeak
* TallDarkAndHandsome
* TallDarkAndSnarky
* TroubledButCute
* WellExcuseMePrincess: Between Ilana and Lance.

!Octus / Newton / Mr. Lunis
->Voiced by BrianPosehn

A bio-cyberneric robot sent alongside Ilana and Lance. Octus's hologram disguises include "Newton" when he's in Sherman High School; and Ilana's and Lance's "Dad" outside of school. He is intelligent, but is considered a nerd by Sherman High School students. Octus is the "mind" of the Sym-Bionic Titan.

* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains.
* DoAnythingRobot: So far, Octus has been very versatile. He can even generate solid cash (and other objects) by apparently converting it directly from energy.
** This may be the same matter-replicators used to make the Titan's weapons.
* HoYay: With Meat at the end of Episode 7.
* LightningBruiser: In addition to being able to move faster than the human eye can see, Octus is also strong enough to punch monsters through walls with relative ease.
* MasterOfDisguise: But he frankly doesn't put that much effort into it. Aside from the fact that his bulk never changes, his "dad" persona is essentially his "student" aged up appropriately.
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Octus is the most guilty of this out of the three, which makes sense because his programming dictates Ilana be protected first and foremost. He doesn't want Lance stopping crimes only because it attracts undue attention, and was perfectly fine with Lance driving a car without a license (and would have made him one if asked).
* RobotBuddy
* TheSmartGuy
* SpockSpeak
* SuperSpeed: Octus displays this in episode 6, going fast enough to be invisible to the naked eye, yet not fast enough to cause a sonic boom, and doesn't even have to move his upper-body to boot.
* TeamDad: In the literal sense, as he disguises himself as the team's father at home. Plays the trope straight, too.

!General Modula
->Voiced by Don Leslie

The driving force that caused Lance, Ilana, and Octus to flee Galaluna, Modula is a sort of dictator who controls a group of aliens called the Mutraddi. Because he is too busy conquering Galaluna for himself, Modula sends a giant monster every so often to kill the princess and stop any possibility of rebellion against him.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: One episode displays him putting down a rebellion platoon using nothing more than his ''bare hands'' without really trying. Counts during his pre-BigBad days, too: he deactivated two Manus armors standing upright by himself in an instant.
* BigBad
* EvilFormerFriend: To the King.
* EyeBeams: His helmet-eye shoots mind-reading beams.
* EyelessFace: His hat conceals his eyes, though it actually ''has'' an eye on it itself.
* FaceHeelTurn
* FallenHero
* [[HiveQueen Hive King]]: Seems to play this role to the otherwise mindless Mutraddi.
* NiceHat: Which also lets him talk to the monsters he sends to Earth.
* PsychicPowers
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: before his face heel turn, he was a very agreeable guy.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His whole motive seems to be to get revenge on the king for abandoning him on the Mutraddi homeworld.

!Solomon
->Voiced by Tim Russ

An enigmatic individual affiliated with a group known as the Galactic Guardians. His ambitions, motivation, and alignment remain to be seen, although to date he has typically served only to play as the voice of reason against the heavy-handed tactics of General Steel.

* BadAss: A little early to say, since he hasn't been shown to fight, but given that his favorite method of entering/exiting the scene is by jumping off a jet when he arrives and jumping back on the jet when he leaves, his physical prowess seems to surpass that of an average human, seeming about on par with Lance. Also, the outfit.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: If he is a villain.
* NiceHat: His whole wardrobe, really. Brings to mind [[{{Hellsing}} a certain vampire...]]
* TheStoic: Typically very cool and reserved, and to date hasn't been seen to express any emotion particularly strongly. He's NotSoStoic as to pass up the occasional deadpan snark at General Steel's expense, however, or to crack a smile at [[CrowningMomentOfFunny a children's song about teamwork being played from the speakers of a giant robot]].

!General Steel
->Voiced by JohnDiMaggio

A decorated military officer whose unit is the first to encounter Ilana and Lance after their decent to Earth. He has deep contempt for the Titan once it becomes known, and openly encourages people to assume it to be a menace. He's also stubborn as a mule, refuses to listen to the advice of his subordinates, and never takes responsibility for his mistakes. Openly detests Solomon.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: His speech during the televised debate over whether the Titan is a friend or a menace hints that part of the reason he so strongly detests the Titan is that people consider it a hero, and not people like him.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably of General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross from [[{{Hulk}} The Incredible Hulk]].
* GeneralRipper: Steel's violent obsession to stop any aliens tends to endanger his men and everyone around him.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's not really evil, and takes his job as a soldier seriously... but he's probably the least pleasant earthling we've seen in the series so far.
* JerkAss: The way he treats subordinates who disagree with him is a little less than reasonable, he also acts this way toward Solomon.
* MoreDakka: His solution to most problems is finding a bigger gun to fire at it. This has come back to bite him on the butt at least once so far.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His actions are what result in episode 3's MonsterOfTheWeek.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: During the televised Titan debate in episode 3, he counters the commentator's saying the Titan saved them from the fire monster by pointing out that it's probably the Titan's fault the monster showed up in the first place. This is technically true, although in his case there's no way he could have known it.
