Too Many Belts: 'Father' Nier has no less than seven, whereas 'Brother' Nier's whole outfit is probably 50% belts.More obvious in Replicant since Nier has grown into a man. Took a Level In Badass: After the timeskip, his abilities have increased greatly, so that he can now use various weapons and stronger magic.Tomato in the Mirror: He and the Shadowlord were the same person all along.Taking the Bullet: Almost gets himself killed defending Weiss.Even more absurd in Gestalt, where the only thing he wears across his back is a few straps that hold his shoulderguard in place. Sticks to the Back: No matter the size or weight of Nier's equipped weapon, he can easily reach around and attach it to something on his back with an audible clink.Staking the Loved One: When he is forced to kill a possessed Kaine.Pretty in Mink: His outfit is lined with fur, including a fur collar and boots in Replicant, which is probably for practical purposes since he's nearly always travelling.The Power of Friendship: After assembling his Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, Nier seems to broaden his horizons and learn to care about something other than Yonah, until eventually, he's practically running off this.Plot-Relevant Age-Up: He's five years older following the timeskip.Offhand Backhand: You know he's taken a few badass levels when you see him stab a Shade behind him in the face without looking!.Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Killing the Shadowlord was a big no-no in the grand scheme of things.Helps that virtually all of them suffer a Cruel and Unusual Death. Murder Is the Best Solution: When it comes to Shades, there's never any other option considered.A few of them could be considered evil, and most of them vital for one species. Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: He ruins a lot of plans in order to protect Yonah.I Will Protect Her: Although his overriding desire is to do so at whatever cost, it's eventually revealed to have gotten rather out of hand.However, he always manages to come up with a solution at the last minute, and gets pretty resourceful at using his magic too. Indy Ploy: Usually charges in without any plan other than 'kill the enemy', much to Weiss' exasperation.Hello, Insert Name Here: Which arguably makes the Character Title kinda unnecessary.Heel Realization: Hinted at occasionally.He falls short of being a Designated Hero, however. Good Is Not Nice: In a harsh world there's little time to be nice.Determinator: Not even getting stabbed multiple times will stop this guy trying to defend his loved ones.By the end, he's pretty much screwed the entire human race thanks to his efforts. Destructive Saviour: Nier blindly crashes forward into battle, heedless of any consequences so long as he gets Yonah back.Dark and Troubled Past: He's suffered a lot of hardships due to the sickness and/or death of family members, and the steps he's had to take to eke out a living.He sort of insists he does not have this, saying it's all for Yonah and nothing but Yonah, but Weiss comments otherwise. Chronic Hero Syndrome: Has the habit of helping out anyone who needs him to earn some money.
Character Title: He's the titular character of NieR.Berserk Button: Don't talk down to his friends, or get anywhere near Yonah.Everything else is just strength and skill. Badass Normal: Considering he gets the ability to use magic from Weiss.Tropes associated with both versions of Nier While very similar, there are some small differences between them. Depending on which version, there are two separate renditions of him: 'Father' Nier and 'Brother' Nier. The eponymous and only playable character of the game. A list of characters from NieR, both the Gestalt and Replicant versions, and their associated tropes.
