Line 11:
** [[Cool Shades]]
** [[Iron Woobie]]: If you speak with Morpheus, he'll confirm to JC he was {{spoiler|genetically engineered and that most of his life was a lie.}} JC's response is basically "So? Who cares?"
** [[One
* [[Bio Augmentation]]
* [[Combo Platter Powers]] - The various augmentations available, from [[Super Speed]] to [[Healing Factor|regeneration]] to bulletproof skin to completely silent movement and invisibility...
Line 41:
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: Oh yes indeed. From expendable prototype testbed for the real deal in the head conspirators to bane of the head conspirators' existence.
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: JC can be this.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: JC is potentially Red to his brother Paul's Blue. He can be played as someone who thinks before he shoots, but that still doesn't get around the fact that he usually still has a far higher propensity to shoot than his brother (unless you go full Pacifist)
** It can also work the other way, since JC is stoic and dry while his brother is much more emotional and social.
* [[Sealed Good in A Can]]: For Invisible War.
Line 50:
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Tyke Bomb]]
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: On the "Realistic" difficulty setting. It's still possible to go through the game as an [[One
==== '''Paul Denton''' ====
Line 61:
** [[Badass Beard]]
** [[Badass Longcoat]]
** [[One
* [[Bio Augmentation]]
* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]
Line 72:
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]] - for the NSF.}}
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: Rebelled before little bro JC did. However, not as successful at it as JC was.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to his little bro JC's potential Red. He's the one who urges you basically to think before you shoot.
* [[Sealed Good in A Can]]: For Invisible War.
* [[Talking to Himself]] - Along with JC.
Line 95:
* [[Didn't See That Coming]] - {{spoiler|Helios deciding that merging with JC is a better idea.}}
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]] - If you follow Everett's suggestion to kill him, he'll get increasingly unhinged and desperate. Amusingly, since his taunting messages to the player are scripted by location, he'll come across as bipolar, switching between pleading with JC and mocking him.
Line 126:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: If he's avoided the first time.
* [[Red Right Hand]]: The bioelectics on his skin.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Simons is a "philanthropist", who has made ''very'' large "donations" to assure UNATCO is properly equipped and supplied. While UNATCO technically falls under his command anyway, this makes them especially eager to follow orders.
* [[Skippable Boss]]: If you're quick enough at the Ocean Lab, the fight won't even start since Simons has to catch you and go into conversation before he'll turn hostile. This is pretty amusing since [[Fridge Logic|he has a freaking Plasma Rifle, and could easily just shoot you in the back while he's chasing you down.]]
* [[Tainted Veins]]: JC points this out in a rather humorous scene.
Line 162:
* [[Cyborg]]
* [[Honor Before Reason]] - Gunther cannot be talked down from fighting you in Paris.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]
* [[Invisibility]]: Anna's augment of choice. She also runs the tutorial on stealth.
* [[Jerkass]]: Anna. Unless you're a merciless killer, she treats you like crap. However, showing a little humility and deferring to her early on during the second mission) will delay some of her more abrasive tendencies, but still, she'll wind up treating you like shit for not being a cold blooded killer sooner or later.
Line 168:
* [[Morality Pet]]: Gunther truly does feel sorrow and rage {{spoiler|after Anna Navarre dies}}, and it is that which is driving him to want to {{spoiler|kill JC [[Deader Than Dead]].}} That said, this trope doesn't make him any less villainous, but at least his motives are a little more sympathetic.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Anna is very skeptical about Gunther's conspiracy theory that the maintenance man who stocks the drink machines at UNATCO is purposely trying to screw him over. {{spoiler|Subverted in the sequel when you find out he was right.}}
* [[Self
* [[Skippable Boss]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Gunther likes orange soda. He does ''not'' feel the same way about lemon-lime.
Line 196:
* [[The Lancer]] - It's strongly implied that he and JC are childhood friends.
* [[The Medic]]
* [[
* [[Voice With an Internet Connection]] - during the Training part of the game.
Line 269:
* [[Bad Boss]]: Even his fellow NSF think he's an asshole.
* [[Colonel Badass|Colonel NON Badass]] - He'd love to be seen as a tough guy and he is a colonel in the NSF, but he's basically a [[Dirty Coward]] thug who hides behind a gun, intimidation tactics, fake augmentations, and a big title.
* [[Hey
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Subverted. A NSF goon actually derides him (not to his face) for wearing an earring.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: He has connections to the NSF, which he apparently abuses.
==== '''Smuggler''' ====
Line 283:
* [[Badass Longcoat|Badass Trenchcoat]]
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Only Known as "Smuggler"]]
* [[Hey
* [[Properly Paranoid]]
