Amon/Tropes

A - G
Animal Motifs: A wolf, surprisingly enough. As described by Marx who lectures him on his decision to have a family and wanting to protect them, telling him what a wolf needs in order to be a leader who leads his "pack". It of course helps that his daughter, Lily, affectionately named her pet wolf Noma, which is backwards for Amon.


 * "You were formerly just an animal. A wolf that thrives on blood! But now look at you! You're nothing but a mad dog! Do you think you have the means to lead your own pack of wolves this way? To lead a pack, you must sacrifice. To lead a pack, you must be willing to go against all odds to keep them safe, even if it means sacrificing one of them. To lead a pack...you must have the strength to take down all opposing forces!"

Arch-Enemy: Marx is this to Amon, even if Marx doesn't consider him his greatest adversary yet, it's clear that Marx does want Amon to hate him and want his head rolling on the floor.
 * He is also called a "mad dog" by people who saw him go insane after Diana effectively Mind Raped him and told him his life is a lie, but that probably doesn't count as a motif, as much as it does a title.

Badass: He has his moments. Dark Is Not Evil: Despite wearing black and white themed clothes, and admitted to liking that style of outfit, as well as the bandages and his overall intimidating appearance, Amon can be a nice guy. It simply depends on the circumstances on how someone meets him.
 * Badass Baritone: Word of God says if he had a Japanese voice actor, it would be Toshihiko Seki, the one who voiced Senketsu in Kill la Kill. As for an English voice, nothing really comes to mind.

Gender Bender: A result of Eva using him as a guinea pig to improve her cloning by testing genes she created that are meant to change genders. And they work! But only when Amon is exposed to Red Lacrima, which is what triggers the transformation. It's temporary, lasting until the Red Lacrima energy exits his body. Not much changes about him mentally, and he pretty much behaves the same, only with the body of a woman, and breasts.
 * First Law of Gender Bender: Averted, while Amon did adopt an alternate persona as a female, affectionately nicknamed "Amonko" by his wives and friends, and even though he doesn't really hate it, he doesn't plan on permanently sticking to it, not yet anyway.

H - P
Overprotective Dad: Amon is almost paranoid about letting his kids out of his sight, or without proper protection. Especially after the entire fiasco with the Magic Council. He is even wary of other kids talking to his daughters.

Papa Wolf: His first reaction after Lily was kidnapped by the Magic Council's orders? Go and get her. Even if it means having the entire country go after his head as a result.

Q - V
Red Baron: Called the "Blind Ghost", but that title dies quite easily after he gets his vision back. Villain Protagonist: Pretty much what he and almost every other protagonist who isn't a child was meant to be in Vice. Amon is just one of the few who, while not exactly "heroic", has more room for redemption, since he softens up as time goes on.
 * "Mad dog" by people who know how he is when he snaps.
