Deus Ex/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

* [[Significant Monogram]]

* [[Stealth Expert]]

* [[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.

* [[Talking to Himself]] - Along with JC.

* [[Technical Pacifist]] - Will lecture the player on avoiding fatalities, but put him in a room with a hostile and he'll gib the poor guy with a plasma rifle.

* [[It's All About Me]]

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]

* [[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.

** While it's not nearly as loud, he does this if JC is doing the steps to reach the Helios Ending as well. {{spoiler|His final line in this case is an almost child-like "Helios? Icarus? Don't leave me..."}}

* [[We Can Rule Together]] - Resorts to this in desperation when JC is getting close to stopping him.

 

* [[The Dragon]]

* [[The Stoic]]

 

==== '''ECHELON IV''' ====

* [[Split Personality Merge]] - Helios

* [[Verbal Tic]] - The Helios AI, yes.

 

==== '''Anna Navarre and Gunther Hermann''' ====

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]] - JC attempts to express sympathy to Sam for the loss of his family to terrorism. Sam doesn't want to hear it.

* [[Internal Reformist]] - He eventually gives up though.

* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: {{spoiler|He refuses to leave UNATCO even after learning about the corruption, believing only by good individuals within can reform it. He is forced to leave and more fully help the player when [[MJ 12]] tightens their grip on UNATCO even more.}}

* [[Noodle Incident]] - He memorably claims to have dispatched an entire platoon with a pocket knife. He also mentions taking out a group of Afghans in an unspecified war.

* [[The Medic]]

* [[Name's the Same]] - as the third [[Blue Beetle]]

 

==== '''Alex Jacobson''' ====

* [[Geek]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]

 

==== '''Brian “Jock” Flanagan''' ====

* [[Mission Control]]: {{spoiler|After you defect from UNATCO, he takes up Alex's old role.}}

* [[Nice Guy]]

 

==== '''Morgan Everett''' ====

* [[Scary Black Man]]

** His underling Toby Atanwe fits even better.

* [[Wicked Cultured]]: He's an {{spoiler|Illuminati leader}} who happens to live in one of the nicest looking homes in the game, which goes nicely with his extremely polished manner.

 

* [[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.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Subverted. A NSF goon actually derides him (not to his face) for wearing an earring.

* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Mostly played straight unless he owes you a favor, then he'll cut you a massive discount.

* [[Cool Shades]]

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Only Known as "Smuggler"]]

* [[Properly Paranoid]]
