- "Hello... would you like something? I think I know what it iiiiis..."
- ―Reginald
Reginald is the recurring shopkeep that appears in LISA the Hopeful. He is a unique individual who seems to not be quite right in the mind.
Appearance and Personality[]
Reginald is a short, jittery fellow with an olive skin-tone, a hunched back, and a pink nose. He has a constant smile, a big, wrinkled neck, and tiny eyes. All he wears is a pure black robe that covers his entire body from the neck down, besides his arms. He has unusual, claw-like hands.
Reginald is a well-behaved and polite old man despite his numerous eccentricities, and extends his civilities even to the most vile of individuals such as Hart, as seen in his quote before the final battle in the Rodriguez Route. He also has high expectations of Beltboy and his friends, as he leaves them in Area 3 only to return to assist in the fight against the Hardest Rider. He is also a courageous individual as he is willing to jump into a fight against the Connect 4 Lovelies, in spite of his fragility stemming of his old age.
Recruitment[]
To recruit Reginald, the player is required to do the following:
- During the first battle of the game against Yogurt Masters, the player must escape the battle, causing Yogurt to drop a boomerang on the floor. Fight Yogurt again and pick up the boomerang.
- Talk to Artie Choke about the locked treasure chest, give him 30 mags, then after finding the chest to be locked, go admit to him that it was a good jape. He will request that if you find his boomerang to please return it. If you have it already, he will take notice and trade you a toolbox for it.
- If you are trying to unlock the Rodriguez route on pain mode, skip 3 and 4. Return to Rodriguez and keep talking to him until you can give him the tool box. He'll then join your party due to your incompetence.
- After getting the gasoline, run past that point and climb up where their head quarters is. Ian "Ian" Iron will be waiting there and will happily take the toolbox in exchange for the trading cards. Go to step 5.
- Proceed through the area as normal until you find Ian "Ian" Iron. He will automatically take notice of the toolbox, which he will take in exchange for the Old Record.
- Proceed as usual again until you run into Wade White at the bottom of the rope right after the battle against Shane Steel, or if you're playing Pain Mode, Eddy Lead. Talk to him twice, and the second time you talk to him, he'll request to trade your record for his trading cards.
- Once you reach back to the beginning, proceed past the bridge where you fought Yogurt Masters on, go all the way to the left to find Ken Pound standing there. He'll take the trading cards and give you a piece of pink candy for it.
- Return to where Reginald is and you'll give him the pink candy. In return, he'll give you his most valuable possession, himself.
- If Rodriguez is in your party, he will absolutely refuse to allow Reginald to join. Reginald will instead promise to pay you back someday. He keeps his promise, as he will come out of nowhere to help you in the battle against Dillon Doe, Jason Boosee, Justin Heras, and Graven Morhead, with Rodriguez begrudgingly allowing him to join your party after the battle.
Notes[]
- If you recruit Reginald on any route besides the Rodriguez Route, he will not show up where he will usually be, due to him being in your party.
- Reginald is unable to stand guard at campfires as a party member, so even if all your party members are injured and he isn't, you'll have to choose someone else.
Battle[]
Reginald has the lowest HP pool (far below that of Lanks) and is a TP based character. The only ways for him to regain TP are to amp himself up (which inflicts +Taunt), guard, use certain TP regeneration items, or take damage, making him a difficult character to utilize. On the plus side, most of his offensive moves have a low TP cost and can target multiple enemies, with his only costly moves being the last two attacks that he learns. In addition, he has healing moves in the form of Friendly Jig and Jolly Jig, which remove the crying, weird, and wary statuses, the latter of which targets the whole party and has a chance to give the cool status.
| Skill Name | Description | Lv Learned | TP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amp Up | Get excited for your time to shine in battle. | 1 | 0 |
| Cart Crash 1 | Ride in on your majestic steed. | 4 | 5 |
| Cart Crash 2 | Slam into them like a rocket. | 9 | 10 |
| Cart Crash 3 | Bring them to the cash register. In hell. | 16 | 15 |
| Friendly Jig | Just a spirited dance to keep things lighthearted. | 2 | 10 |
| Jolly Jig | Get down and dirty to help your compatriots. | 12 | 25 |
| Shopkeeper Slammer | Like a graceful shooting star, land upon your foe. | 15 | 75 |
| Businessman Buster | Drop from the sky like an insane koala and terrify your foe. | 18 | 100 |

Trivia[]
- If the player opts to not recruit him, he will show up in area 3 as a joy mutant.
- Reginald likely used joy to alleviate the pain of losing his son. Because the pink candy prevents him from mutating, it is very likely to be the Joy antidote from Lisa: The Joyful; this is the reason Reginald is not addicted when joining your party, nor can he be inflicted with the Joyed status. This is also why he's not a Joy Mutant when you meet him in Area 3 in the Rodriguez Route, if you chose to give him the pink candy.
- The description for his Businessman Buster skill is likely a reference to Drop bears. a hoax in Australian folklore.
- Reginald's skin color is natural, indicating that he comes from an unknown ethnic background. Source.
- Reginald is above eighty (80) years old, making him the oldest among the party members; he is even older than Rodriguez Creed, the second oldest party member at around fifty (50) to sixty (60) years old. Source.
- Reginald is one of the few, if not the only character to not have a sprite overhaul, aside from his joy mutant form.
