Chronicles of Conflict (Darth Wiki)/Protagonists

Cielo "White Hellion" Kersey
""There are three types of people in the world: sheep, wolves, and dogs. Me? I'm a cannibal wolf.""

The 20 year old albino mercenary protagonist from the Rutledge Republic "Cielo: "Act like the big dog and the sheep will follow.""
 * Accidental Pervert: He has his moments.
 * Action Hero: He prefers a blunt destructive approach to his problems. He does have occasional hints of Guile Hero.
 * Actual Pacifist: Cielo's mentions that his parents tried to raise him to be this. These days he heavily subverts it and sneers at the oxymoronic concept of the Badass Pacifist.
 * Almighty Janitor: Even though he was a One-Man Army during the Galay War, he never rose above "Private" because he would constantly turn down promotions out of fear that a higher rank would take him away from the front lines. Adrian points out that he would've made captain by now if he didn't keep turning down promotions.
 * Anti-Hero: Type IV. He's sadstic, bloodthirsty, cynical, and a loner, but he doesn't start trouble with people who don't deserve it, has a soft spot for kids, and is empathetic.
 * But his backstory during the War implies that he was a Type V as he was a Military Maverick Sociopathic Soldier who gleefully slaughtered enemy soldiers (even if they were surrendering, wounded, or running away), but Would Not Shoot a Civilian.
 * At Least I Admit It: He frequently points out that he's better than most Ax Crazy psychos and two-faced Knights Templars because he is open about being a bloodthirsty sociopath.
 * Ax Crazy: Borderline example, he really enjoys destruction and violence but he would Never Hurt an Innocent.
 * Badass
 * Badass Decay: Side materials make him into a Badass One-Man Army, but he's pretty weak at the beginning of the game. This is Hand Wave by the fact that during his time as a mercenary he let himself go and purposefully diminished his skills to make fights last longer.
 * Badass Longcoat: His default outfit includes a black leather longcoat.
 * Badass Nickname: The White Hellion
 * Bavarian Fire Drill: His favorite tactic for outsmarting enemies. It also helps that he can always fall back on his reputation as The Dreaded or even just fight his way through enemies. He can also identify when others are trying to pull this con.

"Cielo: "If they're willing to get in my way in spite of my reputation, then clearly they were Too Dumb to Live to begin with, and if you're too dumb to live, you deserve to die.""
 * Belated Backstory: One of the reasons I am having so much trouble making the middle part of the plot of the game is because I'm focusing on Cielo's backstory which involves Cloak and Dagger work, betrayal by a father figure, his time in the Galay War, and his time in the Omega Berets.
 * Berserk Button: Do not harm children or speak ill of the deceased Omega Berets in his presence.
 * Big Eater: While nowhere near Diana's level, he does wolf down his food (a habit he picked up from the battlefield) and thus often orders a large amount of junk food to make the meal last longer.  His appetite does increase when he
 * Bishonen
 * Blood Knight: And how! He absolutely loves fighting and killing, believes that War Is Glorious, enthusiastically asks the  Chancellor of the Rutledge Republic when they are going to launch a preemptive strike on the Anorev Kingdom, and is even tempted at times to sabotage the party's attempts in preventing a war. Hell, he rivals Kenpachi for the best example of this trope.
 * Bounty Hunter: He mentions being this after he left the Preparation Agency for Tactical Response, Intelligence and Other Tactics, but before the Galay War. He had a very high success rate, but was always deep in dept because of his violently destructive tactics.
 * Celibate Hero: "I don't have the time or interest for such carnal things." This is actually a result of his mentor's cynical Love Hurts view on relationships.
 * Chaotic Neutral: He's violent, snarky, sadistic, and has a disdain for authority, but tends to mind his own business unless he is messed with first or a helpless innocent (especially a child) is being abused.
 * Character Development: Goes from a Blood Knight who looks out for himself to a Blood Knight In Jade Armor.
 * Chest of Medals: Subverted in that it is mentioned he won enough medals to be this trope, but the medals were constantly being revoked because of his Military Maverick Sociopathic Soldier attitude.
 * Child Soldiers: When he was 11, he joined the local militia and also worked as a counter-terrorist for P.A.T.R.I.O.T. during his early teen years.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: He has a mild case of this. He won't ignore children in need and frequently intervenes in fights, but states that he won't intervine in suicides.
 * Cool People Rebel Against Authority: "Authority" is listed under his dislikes and he frequently snarks off at authority figures. It's not so much about rebellion as it is only giving his obedience to those he respects.
 * Cutting the Knot: "No problem can't be solved without the proper application of bullets."
 * Deadpan Snarker: He tends to be sarcastic and cynical with everyone he comes across and his snarking often has undertones of Black Humor.
 * Deceased Parents Are the Best: His parents were Happily Married and never abused him or each other. They also died  before the story starts.
 * Dissonant Serenity: Cielo generally has three voice tones; his default Deadpan Snarker Sugar and Ice Personality tone, his kinder gentler tone he uses with children and to reassure close friends, and then there's his "Violence Tone" in which he looks and talks calm, but it's the kind of calm where you can sense the sadism beneath the surface and also has a hint of playfulness. He uses the third tone when in battle or when torturing an enemy and occasionally does a small closed-mouth Slasher Smile.
 * The Dreaded: Cielo has a reputation as a Ax Crazy Blood Knight One-Man Army and doesn't mind it one bit. He enjoys his reputation because it means that people will be too scared of him to get in his way. He also uses his reputation as a justification for slaughtering mooks claiming that:

 * The Dreaded: Cielo has a reputation as a Ax Crazy Blood Knight One-Man Army and doesn't mind it one bit. He enjoys his reputation because it means that people will be too scared of him to get in his way. He also uses his reputation as a justification for slaughtering mooks claiming that:

"Cielo: People don't annoy me till they hit puberty."
 * Establishing Character Moment: The story begins with Cielo being woken up by a small child in a church in an Anorev Kingdom town throwing peanuts at him. He discovers that the citizens of the town are gathering for their morning mass at the Toiracsi Church and he was sleeping in the front pew. Cielo makes a sarcastic comment about the townspeople’s religious beliefs and angers a large zealot into attacking him, but Cielo effortlessly throws him into the pew and stomps on his face with a Slasher Smirk and a reprimanding "Language, there's kids here" when the Giant Mook tries to get back up while cursing. He then leaves when he realizes he’s scaring the children.
 * Face Palm: Cielo often does this, a Dope Slap, or (if Rafael and/or Wade do or/and say something really stupid) he will put his empty revolver to his head and pull the trigger repeatedly.
 * Fingerless Gloves: His hand articles of choice.
 * Freudian Excuse: Inverted. In spite of being the most violent member of the party, he mentions that he had the most caring and reasonable parents growing up. Double Subverted by the fact that his godfather betrayed him and tried to kill him.
 * Friend to All Children: This is one of his major traits as he has a large soft spot for kids (and especially adores infants) and children like him in return. Harming a child in his presence is a very bad idea. One of the reasons he likes kids so much is because he believes that children, especially infants, won't betray him.

"Cielo: "For me, killing is like eating potato chips. It's fun, it's easy, and it's hard to have just one.""
 * Genius Book Club: Subverted. Although Cielo can be occasionally seen reading a Doorstopper, it turns out that they are actually either "Skyport Pulps" (cheap literature sold at railroad stations or skyports to kill time a la a Airport Novel or a Pulp Magazine) or harem mangas.
 * Genius Bruiser: In spite of his Blood Knight-Leeroy Jenkins tendencies, he is quite capable of understanding Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, solving certain puzzles, and outsmarting enemies.
 * The Gunslinger: Type D with undertones of type A.
 * Gun Spin: His Idle Animation. He also twirls his butterfly knife.
 * Healing Factor: Several characters have noted how Cielo heals faster than normal people
 * Heroic Albino: One skit even lampshades how Cielo doesn't have any of the albino weaknesses.
 * Heroic Neutral: He has a "leave me alone and stay out of my way" view toward life.
 * Hollywood Atheist: He has a cynical disdain for religion. He does prefer to sleep in churches due to their tranquility.
 * I'm a Humanitarian: He jokingly implies to have experimented with cannibalism.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: Although he does greatly enjoy battle and claims he would love a Warrior Heaven, deep down he wants to eventually retire from the battlfield when he gets tired of fighting.
 * Ineffectual Loner: Subverted as he is a loner, but he is not ineffectual.
 * It Gets Easier: Exaggerated. When talking about his first kill he mentions that his parents tried to raise him to be a pacifict so he was reluctant to kill, but when he does commit his first kill he discovers that instead of feeling guilty or horrible he enjoys it. his current attitude towards killing:

"Cielo: You can talk or you can scream. Either way, I'm satisfied."
 * Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Cielo loves using these and they often go into Gene Hunt Interrogation Technique territory due to the fact he has a lot of fun with it. Fortunatly, he usually uses this on those established to be Asshole Victims and mostly uses Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

"Surrendering Enemy Soldiers: Please don't kill us. We were only following orders.
 * Jerkass Facade: He purposefully overdoes the Ax Crazy sociopath part of his personality to keep people from getting too close and to protect himself from betrayal.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold (He's cynically sarcastic to most people, loves causing pain and destruction, and can be selfish in minding his own business, but he does have empathy for the helpless and children)
 * Jerkass Woobie: He's a major jerk, but his life ain't exactly all peaches and cream.
 * Just Following Orders: Subverted, Cielo freely admits that he commited war crimes on his own free will and actually ignored orders to carry out war crimes against civilians (said ignoring of orders usually involves him Fragging the CO who gave the order). This is even lampshaded in a flashback to an incident during the Galay War where a squad of enemy soldiers attempted to surrender to Cielo...

Cielo: But I'm not. (Guns them down)"

"Cielo: "I'm no soldier. Soldiers follow orders.""
 * Katanas Are Just Better: Heroes Prefer Swords, but he shows a preference for katanas.
 * The Klutz: Cielo is clumsy and incompetent at many non-combat-related tasks such as cooking, dancing, or even opening a jar (see Running Gag below). Justified because
 * Knife Nut: He carries around a butterfly knife that he twirls during his Idle Animation.
 * Knight in Jaded Armor: Even though he claims to have abandoned "childish ideals", part of his Character Development is making him realize that he still is this trope.
 * The Leader: As The Hero, he often ends up making decisions for the group. He is Type II with Type III tendencies.
 * Leeroy Jenkins: Cielo has some elements of this due to him being a Blood Knight. However, it is a bit of a subversion because he actually does think things through to a point and mostly charges in either to create a distraction or if he thinks that the rest of the group is taking too long coming up with a plan. Justified because
 * Lightning Bruiser: Pretty quick with powerful melee attack, ranged attack, and defense. his main drawback is a lack of spells.
 * Made of Iron: Cielo can take alot of punishment, especially when his Healing Factor kicks in. At one point, he shielded Diana from a HandCannon barrage with his own body and was up and running minutes later after a blood transfusion from Diana.
 * A Man Is Not a Virgin: Averted. This actually comes in handy later.
 * Men Don't Cry: Variation in that Cielo claims this is why he is always holding back his tears, but in reality it's because he sheds Tears of Blood and crying would remind him of how unhuman he is.
 * Military Maverick: Cielo during his military days. His record lists him as constantly ignoring orders and placing a couple Drill Sergeant Nastys, dozens of MPs, and a few Captain Queegs in the infirmry. Eventually officers gave up on trying to command him and just took maximum advantage of his skills by using him like a missile, pointing him toward some enemies and letting him loose.

"Museum Owner: "I haven't seen you since you almost burnt down half my museum."
 * Neck Lift: He frequently does these one handed.
 * Nerves of Steel
 * Never Hurt an Innocent: Even though he is a borderline Ax Crazy Blood Knight, he Would Not Shoot a Civilian and Wouldn't Hurt a Child.
 * Nice to the Waiter: He mentions that during his Bounty Hunter days, he was deep in dept and any money he did get he spent on rent, food, and large tips.
 * Noble Demon
 * Noodle Incident: He is quite infamous for his destructive tendencies and these incidents are often mentioned. For example:

Cielo: "For the last freakin time; I didn't know that flamethrower was still operational.""


 * One Man Regiment: During his war days, he was given this rank to deal with his Military Maverick Sociopathic Soldier attitude and to take maximum advantage of his combat skills. He can reearn this title during the course of the game.
 * Papa Wolf: Harm a child in his presence and you're going to have an Badass Made of Iron Ax Crazy Blood Knight Trigger Happy Psycho for Hire Torture Technician Military Maverick Sociopathic Soldier One-Man Army out for gallons of your blood in a hurry.
 * Pay Evil Unto Evil: He's a huge fan of this concept.
 * Playing with Fire: Cielo prefers blue fire which fits his personality since blue fire is hotter, but is more focused and is so hot that it's cold.
 * Pop-Cultured Badass: In contrast to Rafael, Diana, and Adrian, Cielo is very knowledgable in modern music and films.
 * Psycho for Hire: He became a mercenary so he could have a reason to fight and destroy.
 * Purple Eyes: The fact that he's a Badass  makes him a worthy owner of the violet eyes.
 * Quick Draw: He has a special Quick Draw attack that is unblockable and sometimes uses it as an intimidation technique.
 * The Quiet One: He acts apathetic and aloof, but is empthetic and shows emotions at times.
 * Reverse Grip: He does this with his sword.
 * Revolvers Are Just Better: "Revolvers don't jam. Period." Gameplay-wise, revolvers don't jam and have a longer range than shotguns or pistols.
 * Running Gag: Often when other characters are talking, Cielo will be attempting (and failing at) some mundane task in the background.
 * Shell-Shocked Veteran: The death of his squad (who were like True Companions to him) caused him to becomes less emotional,  and become more cynical and unable to operate in normal society.
 * Shipper on Deck: In spite of the fact that he has feelings for Diana, he supports the rest of the party in getting Diana and Rafael together due to the fact that he believes that Rafael would be a better choice for her.
 * Shoot the Dog: Cielo does this quite a bit.
 * Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids: He frequently does this to Rafael.
 * Slashed Throat: Defied, ironically, Cielo believes that cutting a man's throat is an absolutly disgusting and barbaric way to kill someone and doesn't do it.
 * Smoking Is Cool: Due to his Healing Factor, the negative effects of cigarettes are greatly reduced and he frequently smokes vanilla scented/flavored cigarettes for their taste, aroma, the look, to light a bomb, use as part of a Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique, or
 * Sociopathic Soldier: It is mentioned that Cielo broke most of the rules in the "Laws of War" treaty (gunning down surrendering enemies, finishing off wounded enemy soldiers, using banned weapons, torturing war criminal POWs, and inflicting Unfriendly Fire against his fellow soldiers (but only if the soldiers were committing or did commit war crimes themselves). Hell, one of the few rules he does follow is the Would Not Shoot a Civilian rule) and justifies it by claiming that "there are no rules on the battlfield, only standards" and pointing out that the enemy army already broke the rules anyway. Basically the second kind with hints of the first kind.
 * : Cielo is actually, a prototype attempt at making these.
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: A male example: snarky and aloof to most people, but is kind and sweet towards children and close friends who get to know him.
 * Survivor Guilt: He feels this over being the only survivor of Omega Force, his parents' death, and especially being forced to kill his godfather/mentor when he became an Ax Crazy Rogue Agent.
 * Sword and Gun: He later finds out that his deceased father also fought using this style.
 * Take No Prisoners: During the Galay War, he was infamous for frequently killing surrendering enemy soldiers. It's justified (to him at least) because early in the war, his platoon was wiped out when they fell for a I Surrender, Suckers and Cielo vowed never to fall for it again. He also views it as Pay Evil Unto Evil as the enemy soldiers were fighting for A Nazi by Any Other Name.
 * Tall White And Snarky
 * Tears of Blood: A side effect of
 * Took a Level In Badass: It's revealed that he was a rather wimpy little boy who was raised to be an Actual Pacifist and would have to be protected by his Violently Protective Girlfriend childhood friend. When his parents died when he was 10, he was taken under the wing of his godfather and became a government covert counter terrorist like him. He would then become a Military Maverick Sociopathic Soldier, a elite commando, and then a mercenary eventually molding him into the sadistic Badass we all know and admire/fear.
 * Torture Technician: A extremely rare "heroic" version. He mentions being an apprentice to a "Apron" during his time in P.A.T.R.I.O.T. and is skilled and knowledgeable in several Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, Gene Hunt Interrogation Techniques and Jack Bauer Interrogation Techniques and enjoys going into loving detail about what he's going to do before using them. Since I'm aiming for a T-rating, this is more of an Informed Ability.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Meatloaf, mainly because it's the one dish he doesn't screw up.
 * Tragic Hero: Due to the fact that he is a Blood Knight  who is The Klutz at non-combat related tasks, this creates some angst that takes its toll on Cielo. Ultimately,.
 * Trigger Happy: He loves to do the Quick Draw, Gun Spin, Dramatic Gun Cock, Russian Roulette, and the Pistol Whip. During his Victory Pose, he will occasionally fire his revolver into the air if there are still some bullets left in it (much to the annoyance of his teammates).
 * The Unfettered: "The rules only apply to those too weak or unwilling to oppose those who enforce it."
 * War Is Glorious: Though he's more interested in the chaos, destruction, and carnage than the glory.
 * Wife-Basher Basher: While he Would Hit a Girl, he does have a low opinion of men who beat their wives, children, or girlfriends. This low opinion is shown when he either prevents others from interfering when Rafael beats up an abusive man or breaking the guy's limbs when Rafael is finished.
 * Would Hit a Girl
 * Would Not Shoot a Civilian: While he was a Military Maverick Blood Knight Sociopathic Soldier, he never harmed a single unarmed civilian during his time in the Galay War and actually went out of his way to rescue/evacuate civilians on the battlefield.
 * Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: Subverted, at the beginning of the game he wields a wooden katana as his basic sword, but it is explained that he traded in his steel sword for a wooden one in order to make fights with bandits last longer.
 * X Meets Y: Cielo can be described as Yuri Lowell crossed with Marv with dashes of Dexter Morgan, Sousuke Sagara, Dante, The Midnighter, The Punisher, Kazuma Yagami, and Spike Spiegel.
 * X Meets Y: Cielo can be described as Yuri Lowell crossed with Marv with dashes of Dexter Morgan, Sousuke Sagara, Dante, The Midnighter, The Punisher, Kazuma Yagami, and Spike Spiegel.

""They say that evil prevails when good men fail to act. It should be evil prevails when the rules prevent good people from acting.""

The 19 year old vigilante/thief female protagonist from Namikawa

 * Namikawan Girl: She is a Bare-Fisted Monk, is knowledgable about Namikawan culture, and has a Qipao as one of her alternate costumes, but many characters comment that she doesn't look very Namikawan.
 * Armor-Piercing Slap: Justified because she is a skilled martial artist. Cielo also has a secret fetish for tsunderes so he actually and secretly likes it to the point that he occasionally invokes it. In fact when Cielo actually blocks or intercepts her Armor-Piercing Slap, it's a sign that something is really bothering Cielo.

 * Big Breasts, Big Deal: Diana is normally a Type 3 who becomes a bit of Type 1 when her large breasts are pointed out, but she is a Type 4 when in her "Rogue Ruby" identity.
 * Big Eater: And how! Which makes her favorite food ironic as Cielo lampshades: "She'll wolf down a dozen burgers in a minute, but she'll spend an hour eating one of the smallest dishes in the world." Deconstructed when we find out that her appetite is like a mood ring; the more upset she is, the more she eats. Also justified as her

 * Guile Heroine: She's perfectly capable of outsmarting her enemies with her wit and sex appeal and later develops amateur Chessmaster levels of skill at pulling off Batman Gambits and Xanatos Speed Chess.
 * Guns Akimbo: "A gun in each hand is worth a room full of mooks." It is revealed that when Cielo was in P.A.T.R.I.O.T., he used a pair of revolvers to gun down a bunch of arms dealers having a business transaction in an abandoned building in the Anorev Kingdom. What he didn't know was that Diana was hiding in the building and witnessed him killing them and making the beforementioned comment, inspiring her to use a pair of guns later on.

 * Intimate Healing: Diana will perform this on either Cielo or Rafael, and claim she only did it because their skills are important to the group and not because she likes them.
 * Jack of All Trades: She is balanced in attack, defense, and spellcasting, but her main strengths is having the fastest rate of fire due to her Guns Akimbo and she's a bit faster than Cielo. She eventually becomes a Lightning Bruiser.

 * No Guy Wants an Amazon: Diana says that men are often intimidated by her Action Girl skills.
 * Pay Evil Unto Evil: She only robs the corrupt.
 * Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Subverted, Diana is capable of chores, cooking, and wearing dresses.
 * Rich Idiot With No Day Job: She averts the "idiot" part as she used to pose as a rich bookwormish tourist and claims that her wealth comes from her winning the lottery. Now she doesn't bother anymore due to the fact that hanging around with Cielo has blown her cover wide open.
 * Sacred First Kiss: In spite of her bold "Rogue Ruby" personality, she takes great pains not to have an Accidental Kiss and trying to kiss her is one of her Berserk Buttons.
 * Secret Identity Identity: She has distinctly different personailities as the intelligent and modest Diana or the flirtatious and thrill-seeking Rogue Ruby. This is lampshaded several times and even Diana herself has trouble telling which one is her true self.
 * She Fu: Partially justified with her Le Parkour.
 * Show Some Leg: She is quite good at this.
 * Slipknot Ponytail: Occasionally overlaps with Letting Her Hair Down.
 * Sticky Fingers: Even though she is more restrained than most charaters with this trope, even when  she still can't help occasionally snatching the nearest valuable.

 * Tsundere: Type B with heavy undertones of Sugar and Ice Personality as she is normally pretty nice, inteligent, and a bit aloof, but she has a cynical wit, a fast fist, and a temper. Specifically she is more "tsun" towards Cielo and more "dere" towards Rafael.
 * Unorthodox Reload: She reloads her twin pistols via magazines stored in her cleavage as a Shout-Out to Grenadier.
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment: In addition to storing spare magazines in her cleavage, she can hold a bunch of other stuff in there. Cielo even comments on this and gets a Doorstopper to the head for his comment.
 * Vigilante Man: errr... Woman

Rafael Quixote
A 17 year old idealistic young knight from the Outer Quarter of Narnia.
 * Action Hero: His Hot-Blooded Idiot Hero personality makes him this.
 * Anti-Hero: He has traces of Type I, but eventually develops into Type II.
 * Bad Dreams
 * Bishonen
 * Blade on a Stick: Rafael uses polarms as his Weapon of Choice.
 * Blood Knight: He enjoys the rush of battle, but hates the fact that he enjoys fighting since he believes that heroes should prevent fights. Part of his Character Development is getting him to realize that enjoying the fight is not a bad thing.
 * Book Dumb
 * The Chick: His role in the team is basically this, although he also has traces of The Lancer.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: His Wide-Eyed Idealist  personality causes him to have a bad case of this and Heroic Fatigue. Part of his Character Development is to learn to let some problems solve themselves and not to be so impulsive about it.
 * The Conscience: Being a Wide-Eyed Idealist, he frequently dissaproves of pragmatic but immoral actions the party has to take.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Character Development turns him into an amateur version of this.
 * Determinator: A side effect of his idealism. Deconstructed and parodied when he often has to be dragged away from a challenge and he racks up large gambling debts due to his unflinching determination.
 * Does Not Understand Metaphors: And how! He frequently gets metaphors mixed up, takes them too literally, gets Sidetracked by the Analogy, and derails and overcomplicates metaphors and analogies when he tries to use them.
 * Does Not Understand Sarcasm: He does start to understand it later and occasionally does some snarking of his own.
 * Dope Slap: Rafael is often on the receiving end of these.
 * Expose the Villain, Get His Job: Subverted when  offers to make him the new commandant of the Anorev Knights when Charles flees with the nobles, but Rafael turns it down on the grounds that he isn't strong enough for that title yet.
