== '''Algar (Augment)''' ==
Needs description.

* [[Artificial Limbs]]: This, alongside [[Electronic Eyes]] and all the other wonderful cyborg tropes, are a point of interest for him.
* [[Large Ham]]: Not only does he prone to ranting [[No Indoor Voice|as loudly as possible]], he follows so many villain tropes he might as well get a union card for Bond Villains R Us.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: He proves himself worthy of the title, after laying low for several months to draw Aphin into a sense of security, hire him for a job, and then ambush him when he least expected it.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: As Aphin raised a gun to him, Algar made him choose: his revenge for the lives of his old crew...or the lives of his new one?
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: Algar's plan. 

==  ==

== '''ColeComputingTerminal3000''' ==
Needs description.

* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: He seems to head for the [[Command and Conquer|"goatee and Napoleon complex"]] territory.

Cowardly, suttering quarian with a turian fetish. He spends most of his pilgrimage (and days) working in a hospital, despite his crippling fear of germs.

* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Tortured for two-three days, and his body was ripped apart and fed to Vorcha and Varren. 
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Secretly owns many magazines, calendars, and pin ups of turians.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: First visited Omega (and spent a total of two days there before getting the hell out of there), now lives in Tayseri, which is almost as bad.
* [[Justified Trope]]: Has a very low immune system, even by quarian standards. It's a good reason why he's so afraid of germs.
* [[Kill the Cutie]]
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: The worst swear you'll usually hear from him is "damn", and the occasional "bosh'tet". But when exceptionally angry, serious, or otherwise grumpy, expect a few naughty, naughty words.
* [[Porky Pig Pronunciation]]: When he stutters to much on a word, he chooses a different one. 
* [[Neutral Good]]: Really only follows the law because he's terrified of it., and can not stand when someone does anything illegal in his apartment.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
* [[Eyeless Face|Noseless Face]]: A Vorcha bit it off.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: A violent, boisterous krogan with [[No Indoor Voice]] is best friends with a meek, overly worrisome quarian. Think about that for a second. Could also be considered a case of [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]].
* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]: Rare, and mostly happens when someone begins insulting a person that he cares about. Also has caused him to scold a krogan at least three times. Funny enough, it works.
* [[Speech Impediment]]: Stutters. A lot.
* [[Terrified of Germs]]: Defines his way of ife, what he does, and how he does it.
* [[The Chick]]
* [[The Medic]]: Very experienced with medicine and occasional surgery.

* [[The Woobie]]
* [[Transparent Closet]]: Occasionally tries to hide his sexuality, even though blind people could see that his helmet's on backwards.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Wears a hood. A particular hood that normally only female quarians should wear.
* [[Workaholic]]: Is in love with his job, and spends at least twelve hours working daily. Rarely takes vacations.

== '''Jerhomme Kan'Garm''' ==
A monotone, robotlike batarian whose 'past' is a mystery to literally all around him. Making a good living out of the Omega's problems by creating an entire business focusing on mercs and them doing the dirty work for anyone who contacts him. Owns a Vorcha named Tenpenny.

* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Basically his schtick.
* [[Complete Monster]]
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Very fond of these.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Averted brutally. He would not only accept exiles, insane people, prostitutes, mass murderers, and otherwise evil people into his business, he would welcome them with open hands.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Explains why he has multiple rooms dedicated to torturing workers that get on his nerves.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: It's Mr. Kangarm.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Married to The Job]]
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Torturing the innocent, young, hopeful, and loving quarian to death.
* [[Neutral Evil]]
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Cannot fight for the life of him. Thus, the only pain he can cause is when the victim is strapped to a table.

A volus horror writer of great renown. Also, [[No Indoor Voice|one of the loudest and bombastic of all the CDN posters.]]

* '''[[Brian Blessed|BRIAN BLESSED!!!]]''': MOR ORTLO!

* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: Despite being a nice, likable guy, Mor's a little bit... unique in his outlook on life.
*  {{spoiler|[[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: while there are hints of foreshadowing in his increasingly paranoid posting, his [[Cruel and Unusual Death]] is what eventually kickstarts the Who Goes There story arc.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: And ''how''.
* [[Mad Artist]]: It's been suggested that he's gradually becoming this trope.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: A necessity for his line of work.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]] - Mor is, apparently, a bit of a Thunderball (the volus equivalent of sumo) enthusiast.

== '''Caldus Discori (Discord )''' ==
A maniacal, egotistical and completely amoral turian pirate lord and slaver. Managed to enrage almost the entire CDN forum by posting a list of slaves for sale. Many of those so enraged were mercenaries, and banded together to kill him.

* [[As Long As There Is Evil]]:
{{quote| '''Discord''' "Y-You think thissss'll change... anything? Y-ouuu thin' other people won' replace m-muh-muh-me? N-nothing... ever... changes... in the Terminussss."<br />

== '''Winter''' ==
Everyone's favorite dumbass.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Although it's arguable he deserves it. 
* [[Chaotic Stupid]]
* [[Karmic Death]]: After announcing his return to the boards (quickly met by a choir of disgust), he announced he was going to Omega. Upon arrival, he lasted ''less than five minutes.''
* [[Never Live It Down]]: Winter's "feelings" towards his sister Aragem have caused him to gain his reputation for many posters. 
* [[The Scrappy]]: Who doesn't hate him? He's arguably an [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste|intentional scrappy]], though. 
* [[Too Dumb to Live|Too Stupid To Die]]: Until he went to Omega.

{{quote| '''Abattoir''': ...flowers, Mirqurios? Really?}}
* [[Just Following Orders]]: a [[Berserk Button]] for Mirqurios.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Though not directly disturbed by his military past, often finds it coming back to haunt him. 
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Mirqurios has repeatedly engaged in [http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6813#p6813 this] with [http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7017#p7017 hilarious results].
* [[Will]]: Left one to be published on CDN in the event of his death. It was published.

== '''Macul Atum (Hemlock)''' ==
An angry volus chemist, hired by Turnonav  {{spoiler|to reverse-engineer LIGHT in order to manufacture and sell it on Omega}}. NOT a people person.  {{spoiler|KIA in the finale of WHO GOES THERE?}}.

* [[The Blank]]: Not that you need to see his face to know he's perpetually angry.
*  {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]: By [[Eldritch Abomination|SAIOCH]], after incapacitating the possessed Aphin Protretho.}}
* [[The Dragon]]: To Turnonav,  {{spoiler|if only for a few months.}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Explosive Decompression]]: How he finally dies.}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: How does possession by an [[Eldritch Abomination]] leading to a grisly death sound for someone who performed gruesome tests involving ''another'' eldritch horror (as well as someone who ''can't'' play nice to save his life) sound to you?}}
* [[Kick the Dog]]: The [http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=123416#p123416 video of his "test subjects"] in Who Goes There: The Omega Chapter.
* [[Mad Scientist]]

==  ==

== '''Elara T'Meyra (Biotic-Smurf)''' ==
Elara T'Meyra is an asari merc/secruity consultant. Centuries before she was an Eclipse sister, and before that a commando along with her sister and mother who lead the unit they were in. After they had a bit of a falling out she and Aayla joined the Eclipse sisterhood to distance themselves from their mother's influence. Her time in Eclipse was not pleasant, and she left sometime after. Upon meeting Daia T'Nara she began to mellow out a bit and nowadays is a good friend of hers.  {{spoiler|Killed in action in "Who Goes There 2" at the hands of [[Hero-Killer|Maladact Tarn's]] men.}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Natch.
* [[The Atoner]]: She had a lot of stuff to make up for. 
* [[Badass]]: If you spend time as a commando and don't end up like this, you're doing it wrong.
* [[Be All My Sins Remembered]]: She'd done some nasty things in the past, and she isn't completely over it.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She was friendly and polite to most people, but in a fight she was a whole different animal.
* [[Bio Augmentation]]: Underwent this during her Commando days.
* [[Blue Skinned Space Babe]]: Pretty clear at this point.
* [[Boldly Coming]]: As an asari, this is expected. Not that she was ever shy about other asari though.
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: She loved expensive liquor, and can rack up quite the tab.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: She must've inherited her dad's mouth.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: To an extent, she did have a collar and chain attacted to her bedroom wall.

* [[Hired Guns]]: Crosses over to Private Military Contractor and has dabbled a bit in bounty hunting.
* [[Happily Married|Happily Bonded]]: Seemed to be on this route with [[Hot Scientist|Linya]] so far...
**  {{spoiler|...Until WHO GOES THERE 2, that is.}}
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Everett was the brother she never had, and she's the sister he never had.
* [[Mind Over Matter]]: Obviously, she was a biotic. A powerful one too.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Ironically, she was the hot-headed and energetic red oni to Everett's measured and rational blue oni.


== '''Clint van Wallach (Gunslinger)''' ==
A human [[Bounty Hunter]] stationed on Omega, this man had a penchant for a soft voice and a ''damn'' quick draw.  {{spoiler|KIA in the Noveria chapter of Who Goes There, Part II.}}

* [[Badass]]
* [[Bounty Hunter]]
* [[Expy]]: Just look at [[The Good the Bad And The Ugly|his name]].
* [[Happily Married]]: Surprising, given that he lives on ''Omega.''
* [[The Gunslinger]]: But of ''course.'' Specializing, of course, in the [[Quick Draw]].
* [[Nice Hat]]: His avatar is more a reflection of his state of mind than what he looks like. The hat, however...
* [[Nice to The Waiter]]: In Mass Effect-ese, he always tries for the Paragon route before going in guns blazing.
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: manages this in practically ''every'' major chapter of the Who Goes There? story arc.
* [[Officer and A Gentleman]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Has yet to really lose his cool, even when in the company of [[Cerberus Daily News (Roleplay)/Deceased/Characters|Macul Atum.]]
* [[You Are in Command Now]] – By means of veteran experience alone, he’s the leader of the PCs in the main Who Goes There? Chapters – even when fighting alongside the ''captain of a frigate.''

== '''Talyth Mellas''' ==
A krogan Battlemaster, skilled in biotics. He owns many bars and has been present at quite a few major events in galactic history. For example, he was on Omega when Aria took over, Rannoch during the Geth uprisings, Elysium during the Blitz, Eden Prime during the attack, and the Citadel when Saren attacked it. He was a member of the Crimson Chains before he struck out on his own.  {{spoiler|KIA as of WHO GOES THERE 2}}

* [[Closer Than They Appear]]: See [[We Do the Impossible]].
* [[Combat Medic]]

== '''Marcus Koren ([[Biotic Salvation]])''' ==
The leader of an extensive biotic cult that disguises itself as a charity organization, Koren is a charasmatic man with a mysterious agenda. Whatever it is though, the rest of the galaxy may very well burn for it.

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the [[Biotic Salvation]] arc, and more than a few characters who went up against him.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Very much so.
* [[Cybernetics Eats Your Soul]]: He plays this trope perfectly straight.
* [[Dystopia Justifies the Means]]: Wanted to create a society where Biotics were on top, and screw everyone else.
[[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: He didn't anticipate that breaking the clavicle of Kate Parker's mentor would be enough of a stimuli for her to break loose of the control implant he attached to her skull. 
* [[Hero-Killer]]: His violent slaying of Sortakani Orren might be considered a sign of this, and he almost manages to overpower the team sent to defeat him, which included an elcor and an asari Matriarch. Thankfully, [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]].
* [[Invasion of the Baby Snatchers]]: Likely set the record for most CDN members abducted in a single setting.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Every time he's around, people get kicked, one way or another.
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: He's that much of a jerk to people he's captured
* [[Smug Snake]]: His supreme confidence was unwavering, until the final battle...
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Sums up his final thoughts as he was defeated once and for all.
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: Played with. While he often appears to rather evil from the get go with most he meets, including people who work for him that haven't been indoctrinated, his charity has given him a glowing reputaion amongst the rest of the galaxy. Which, of course, was why he created the charity in the first place.

== '''Aniko "Anna" Tarkov (Anatar)''' ==

A Hungarian runaway, Anna had been wandering the Terminus after an incident that left her with a criminal record and a bounty on her head from the Blue Suns when Thel'Adean approached her with a job offering. She accepted, and now works with AEGIS.  {{spoiler|Killed by Thanatos during the Fall of Omega}}

* [[Action Girl]]: She cut her teeth fighting Geth during the Eden Prime attack, an accomplishment that earned her Gorik's respect upon hearing about it.
* [[Battle Couple]]: She and Thel recently hooked up, and have been inseparable since she joined up with AEGIS. 
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Played with; she and Thel exchange playful banter every so often, yet she breaks out the venom with people she dislikes.
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: One thing led to another with her and Thel...
* [[The Runaway]]: She's run from Earth and C-Space, leaving the Terminus systems as a last resort for her.

== '''Kevla (Kharshan-sunrise)''' ==
A female batarian mercenary and member of AEGIS. She escaped the Hegemony after being labelled a political dissident and came to Omega, where she decided to try and 'make a difference'.  {{spoiler|Killed by Cerberus during the Fall of Omega}}

* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Kevla is short and pretty, but also excels in hand-to-hand combat.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type A. Deep down Kevla is very, very unhappy.

== '''Viros Fenon''' ==
Turian Janitor on Omega, and dedicated porn collector. A rather amusing presence on the board.  {{spoiler|Killed by Adjuntants during the Fall of Omega}}

* [[The Gadfly]]: Claims to be a [[Troll]], but he's really closer to this.
* [[The Internet Is for Porn|The Extranet is for Porn]]: And is very proud of his collection.
* [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky]]: Some of the pieces in his collection are this.
* [[Sick and Wrong]]: But most of them are like this. People often say this about him after he shows them something from his collection and doesn't bother to explain himself. Actually, they often say that even after he does.
* [[Call It Karma]]: He is often retaliated against. Been hacked, defenestrated, and shot at multiple times. Of course, even then, he considers it...
* [[Worth It]]: even when said assailant comes to his hospital room to apologize.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did it Have to be Fluffy?]]: has a phobia of earth's hairy animals (humans excluded). So when threads showcasing such animals pop up, he always reacts with horror. Interestingly, only one person ever tried counter-trolling him with that and it worked (though it was all in good humor).
* [[I Regret Nothing|I Regret and Apologize for Nothing!]]: He's always heard saying this,  {{spoiler|even right up until the very end}}.
*  {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Was mortally wounded by Adjuntants while protecting a young human boy}}

== '''Anthony "Anton" Dietrich (Dietrich)''' ==

A paranoid, argumentative [[Knowledge Broker|information broker]] with a sizeable network composed of [[Street Urchin|duct rats]], [[The Cracker|crackers]], political aides and several other disaffected members of society. He has a pronounced hatred of politicians and businessmen, as well as a not-so-pronounced dislike of other species and biotics, and will stop at nothing to achieve that which he seeks.  {{spoiler|Killed during the Reaper invasion of Earth}}

* [[All Germans Are Nazis]]: Defied slightly – he looks like a stereotypical Nazi, certainly, but is of Iranian origin.
* [[Badass in A Nice Suit]]: What ''else'' would you expect from an information broker? 
* [[Electronic Eyes]]: They [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|glow red]] in the dark.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Take a look at his avatar and ''guess''.

* [[Morality Pet]]: His bodyguard, Dan Morrison.
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: Has yet to crack a smile to date. 
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Refers to aliens by their species, unless it’s for business. [[Cluster F-Bomb|And swears. A LOT.]]
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: He never sticks in one place, and is almost fetishistic in his need for top-level encryption. Given his profession, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
* [[Sinister Surveillance]]: Are you talking on the Boards? Then you’re being watched.

== '''Gatrinex Arthutan''' ==
A narcissistic, obnoxious, womanizing fighter ace with a lot of skills and not a whole lot of modesty.  {{spoiler|Dies burning up in the atmosphere when fighting Reapers.}}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: '''KA-KOW'''

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: He apparently has a rather significant male... fanbase.
** [[Parodied Trope|To his]] [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|supposed]] [[Unwanted Harem|chagrin]].
* [[Handsome Lech]]: He hits on virtually any attractive woman he sees.
* [[Jerkass]]: And ''how''.
* [[Second Place Is for Losers]]: For Gat, being anything but first is inconceivable.


== '''Desta T'Res (Night Wind)''' ==
An asari assassin and mercenary who only goes after evil targets. She stays in business by living in the Terminus systems, and being less caring who her clients are. {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body|Died in mysterious circumstances]]}}.

* [[Alien Arts Are Appreciated]]: Desta is a fan of both human and krogan cinema.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Somewhere between Type III and IV.
* [[Asexuality]]: Unusually for an asari, Desta has never shown any sexual interest in anyone, due to lingering issues from being raped a long time ago.
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Justified when her ship was stolen during the Siege of Omega, depriving her of all her physical possessions save what she had on her person at the time. Fortunately, she still has a sizable bank account.
* [[Bus Crash]]: There is no information on where or how she died.
* [[Chaotic Good]]: Desta considers the law an obstacle, and only targets slavers and murderers.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Desta is very creative in battle, and will never get into a fair fight if she can avoid it. This part of why she's still alive.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: She never did explain why she left the Republics.
* [[Defiled Forever]]: Claims this as a result of being raped nearly 200 years ago.
* [[Electronic Eyes]]: Her left eye is cybernetic. The only enhancement it provides is recording video. 
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: A variant. Desta herself isn't evil. However, her employers often are, and her victims always are.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Lost an eye in the Down With Discord storyline. Obtained a cybernetic replacement.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: She would probably have no moral compunctions about killing Aria T'Loak, but she's not stupid enough to try.
* [[Heroic Second Wind]]: Desta's armor can give her an artificial version - it will pump her up with adrenaline so she can keep fighting, even if she's lost an eye.
* [[Hitman With a Heart]]: Desta only kills people she thinks deserved it. She's also pretty up front about this fact.
* [[The Mario]]: Shades of this. While Desta's primary skills are in firearms and biotics, she's also picked up basic hacking and demolition skills.
* [[Mind Over Matter]]: A capable biotic.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: No specific cases, but in general, Desta rarely considers the wider effect of her actions. She likely has several of these in her history, though she may not be aware of it.
* [[Opt Out]]: She left Eclipse after the incessant nature of gang warfare got to her. That, and she probably makes more money as a freelance assassin.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Desta's methods are generally indistinguishable from those of other assassins - she just limits her targets.
* [[Private Military Contractor]]: Also works as a freelance mercenary. Spent some time in Eclipse.
* [[Professional Killer]]: Definitely falls into the "assassin" category. Desta's had 200 years to work her way up the totem pole.
* [[Protectorate]]: Has one for Flower, even though Flower is terrified of her (well, asari in general). {{spoiler|When she died, she left Flower her bank account}}.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Like most asari. Desta's pushing 250. In the "Getting To Know You" threads, she often brings up incidents that occurred decades ago.
* [[Vigilante Man|Vigilante Woman]]: A variant. Desta inhabits the Terminus Systems, where law and order don't really exist. Also, her victims are generally career criminals.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: His view on vorcha are that they are one step above vermin and often not even that.
* [[Bawdy Song]]: Enjoys reciting dirty limericks... probably a little too much.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: If it means winning he'll do it, backstabbing, meat shields, groin shots, Hey Catch and especially kick them while they are down.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Sorta usually goes out of his way not to be offensive, on the other hand he'll do some pretty nasty shit if you piss him off

* [[Chaotic Good]]: Usually could care less about the law, but genuinely cares about other people.
* [[The Butcher]]: Fought at Torfan
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Wherever, and whenever possible.
* [[Blood Knight]]: He's a mercenary and former commando who kills people while singing to the heavy metal blaring through his earpiece, and only takes a break from his job when he gets shot one too many times, need I say more?
* [[Knife Nut]]: Once killed a krogan with a utility knife, after he recovered from that adventure took to carrying a eight inch combat knife everywhere.
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|Screw The Money, I have Rules!]]: Many would consider his definition of morality to be a little loose, but he's got rules and he follows them to the letter.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Yeah he kills people for a living, yeah he's done horrible things, yeah he's a cynical sarcastic prick, but if you happen to be his friend there's almost nothing he won't do for you.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Ryder has no problem at all with doing horrific things to accomplish certain goals. If it means uncovering a slaving ring, then he will burn, kill, and torture his way there, and he will go home afterwards and sleep quite soundly.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: He's generally friendly, he's a sniper, 'nuff said.
* [[Large Ham]]: [http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2936&p=119722#p119722 Thoroughly enjoyed mocking Discori]
* [[Bio Augmentation]]: Genetic enhancements are mandatory for Alliance marines, those in special operations especially.
* [[Landmark Sale]]: Once 'sold' the Golden Gate Bridge and the Statue of Liberty to a particularly gullible poster [http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3932&p=159098#p159098 here]
