 * Big Sister Instinct: Hey, she's a leader; she watches out for people. You can't blame her
 * Cool Big Sis: To Nina, at least.

 * Tsundere: Type A, to be exact.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade S to be exact.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: It has been mentioned that Contrary Core seems to have the wrong idea about things, which she constantly defends. It makes a tad more sense when you realize she can't control it. She has a CONTRARY idea as to whats happening. It leads to some confusion when talking to her.

Eve
A 5'8" female Core. She used to be the human: Isabelle St. Claire. ID: 6-66


 * Dark Action Girl: Arguably the most badass in the RP, although she is a newer character. Her icy disposition and 'let's get this shit over with' attitude add to this effect. Although wielding plasma welders helps.

 * Absentee Actor: Indeci has mysteriously disappeared since her R Per had a breakdown and stopped R Ping. Same with Melinda.
 * Break the Cutie: A lot of the crap that's happened lately have been ever so slowly breaking her. Kind of like a crack on your windshield that slowly gets bigger.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: It's a well known fact that Indecisive isn't all there.
 * Cute Clumsy Girl: To the max.
 * Face Heel Turn: Subverted, given that although she joined the Darksiders, no major changes to her sunny outlook and general happiness.
 * Guilt Complex: She has this thing where she thinks that if she places the blame on herself, it'll make everyone feel better since it's not their fault. It's gotten worse since she shoved Medical off a catwalk
 * Meganekko: Clutzy? You got it. Woefully naive? Check. Intelligence not being her strong point? -Yes.- This girl's got more moe than she knows what to do with.

 * The Pollyanna: SUNSHINE!

 * Turn the Other Cheek: MAC not only continues to be nice to anyone who has ever done him wrong, he will come up with an excuse as to why they were in the right to do so.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: He has a dress he sometimes wears. No one seems to take offense.

Medical
A 5'11" male Core that looks to be in his late 40s. ID: 1408 ([Quinlan] Alpha Core Model) Also Known as Leonard.


 * Berserk Button:(s) His orientation and his weight. Also, blatant moral violations (according to him)
 * Bi the Way: And still the manliest man around.
 * Flowers for Algernon Syndrome: When he was reprogrammed to be a monster, he went nuts. Nobody could stand him until he was back to normal.
 * Gag Nose: His broken, bent-out-of-shape nose is often the butt of many jokes.

 * Be a Whore To Get Your Man: Melinda is whore-tastic! Especially when it comes to Ivanov.

 * Tranquil Fury: Melinda is pissed off most of the time, but usually keeps up a slimy, businesswoman-like smile even when she's on the verge of stabbing you.

Tenacity
A 5'10 1/2" male Core that looks to be age 25. He used to be the human: Simon Quinlan. ID: ASQA-Simon 1.2 (Alpha Core Model)


 * Mad Scientist: Tenacity, is in fact, the quintessential definition of this trope when he gets excited. ("I can do ANYTHING! I'm BRILLIANT!") Just watch out when he starts sparking...

 * Corrupt the Cutie: Tenacity gains followers by being very charming to young women (including Apathy) around the facility, and he's quite successful.

Wilson
A 5'10" male human that looks to be in his late 30s. Full name: Timothy Wilson. ID: N/A
