The character select screen of Rumble Roses XX
The Characters of the Rumble Roses Series[]
This is a list of all the characters from Rumble Roses (2004) and Rumble Roses XX (2006), who either appeared or where mentioned in the games. This includes both the wrestlers and other characters (both playable and non-playable), such as the followers shown with them in certain scenes. Please note that in the series the wrestlers (non followers and robots) are referred to as "Rumble Rose" or just Roses" for plural and "Rose" for singular and will be referred to as such.
Playable Characters[]
These are all the wrestlers (both Babyfaces & Heels) in both games that can be accessed and used by the player in matches. While the Roses are able to fully compete in the games, robots and followers are limited to fighting in Exhibition Matches.
- Babyfaces: These are the traditional goodguys in both games. They enjoy the support of the crowd and play fair in matches (not using weapons)- allowing them to gain popularity faster. In both games, there are nine playable Babyface Roses and one that can only fight in exhibition matches.
- Heels: These are the traditional badguys in both games. They are inclined to cheating (by using weapons) and do not have the support of the crowd- making it much harder for them to gain popularity. In both games, there are nine playable Heel Roses and one that can only fight in exhibition matches.
- Followers: In Rumble Roses XX, there are two follower characters that are available to fight in exhibition matches only (after their fighter has been unlocked). In the Japanese version, they are selectable on-screen. While in the American version, a button trick allows the player to select them.
- Lady X Robots: These are all technically heels as they were created by Anesthesia, Three versions exist with the original Lady X wearing a business suit only appearing on the PS2 game and Subsistance only on the 360 game. These robots have a feminine appearance and are much stronger than the Roses stats wise, and only get stronger with each better version ie Lady X Substance being stronger than Lady X and Lady X Subsistance being stronger than Lady X Substance. The stronger the robot the less human-like (though still feminine shaped) and more unique anatomy advantages they gain compared to the Roses.
Non-Playable Characters[]
These are the non-playable characters (NPCs) that appear with the wrestlers in their intros. They are usually their enterage, back-up performers, or followers. The exception to this is Benikage/Yasha, where the NPCs are the enemy of the player characters.
Miscellaneous Characters[]
- Miscellaneous Characters: People that are not seen in the games, and are usually only referred to (either in their bios or in their comments) by others. Most of them are usually family members.
Trivia[]
- Many non-player characters such as Becky's backup cheerleaders can be used as playable characters with the use of cheating devices on the PS2 game.
