{{work}}
Characters from ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' include:
== [[Nakama|Main Characters]] ==
=== Jak ===
[[File:jak of as 3.png|frame|"Let's go topside and see what kind of trouble we can get into."]]
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
* [[Super Mode]]
** [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] - Dark Jak in the second game. The third adds a Superpowered ''Good'' side to contrast.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Trigger Happy]]
* [[Troubled but Cute]]
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]] - Dark Jak
* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]]
* [[Younger Than They Look]] - [[Fan Wank|Many a fan]] was under the impression that he was in his early twenties in [[Jak II Renegade|the second game]], until the official stats in ''Jak X'' revealed he was only 17 then. His bio on the official ''Jak X'' site states that "Jak from ''[[Jak 3]]'' is a seasoned hero, with etched lines on his face that show the many challenges he's overcome." About the 19-year-old Jak from ''Jak X'' it's said that "his once youthful face now shows the wear and tear of a hero."
----
=== Daxter ===
Line 104 ⟶ 105:
** The results are in. {{spoiler|He becomes about eight feet tall and has unbelievably [[Narm]]ic bunny ears.}}
* [[Talking Animal]] - Duh.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Trigger Happy]] - Whenever he gets a chance to use the damn thing.
* [[Weasel Mascot]]
Line 121 ⟶ 122:
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: The Betty.
* [[Daddy's Girl]] - And she's not happy about it.
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - In Jak 3.
* [[Faux Action Girl]] - In ''The Lost Frontier''. Ashelin she ain't.
* [[First Girl Wins]] - She was Jak's love interest from the very beginning, though the role was given to Ashelin in ''Jak 3''. ''Jak X'' fixed this, possibly due to fan outrage.
Line 185 ⟶ 186:
* [[Facial Markings]]
* [[Fan Service]]
** [[Ms. Fanservice]] to be exact.
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Firing One-Handed]]
Line 205 ⟶ 207:
* [[Beast and Beauty]] - The "beauty" component of her relationship with Daxter. Subverted because SHE is the protective one.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Dirty Harriet]] - Slight aversion: Tess works as a barmaid (and NOTHING ELSE) at Krew's bar in order to pass his secrets to Torn and the Underground.
* [[Dumb Blonde]] - Usually.
* [[Fan Service]]
Line 211 ⟶ 213:
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]
* [[The Three Faces of Eve]] - The childish one.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Wrench Wench]] - For weapons.
----
Line 287 ⟶ 289:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|Red(dish) Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[Tactical Suicide Boss]]
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] - He wanted to use a bomb that can DESTROY THE UNIVERSE to blow up the Metal Head Nest... yeah.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] - Emphasis on the ''EXTREME'' part. He's willing to do anything he sees as necessary to stop the Metal Heads from destroying the city.
----
Line 387 ⟶ 389:
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Phil LaMarr]]}}
Count Veger is obsessed with "destroying all shadows" and likes everything neat and tidy, but just can't accept that life is messy. He strongly distrusts Jak and his Dark Eco abilities and was the reason Jak was banished to the Wasteland. In some ways, Veger really means well (or so he claims), but he's doing things the wrong way and for all the wrong reasons. In the end, through a rather odd series of events, he {{spoiler|becomes an ottsel, and Kleiver's sidekick.}}
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
Line 395 ⟶ 397:
* [[Blue Eyes]] - Well, blue-green.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]- Count Veger was mostly responsible for kicking Jak out of Haven City, but there's nothing really personal between them... {{spoiler|except for the fact that Veger knew all along that Jak was Damas's son, and in fact separated the two of them in the first place}}.
* [[Click. "Hello."]] - He pulls one of these in ''Jak 3'', though we don't hear a ''click'': he announces his presence by shouting at Jak.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] - {{spoiler|He [[Be Careful What You Wish For|is transformed into a tiny, furry precursor]].}}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] - Early concept art for Count Veger shows him sporting a mustache that greatly resembles that of a [[Adolf Hitler|certain dictator]].
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]] - A scene in ''Daxter'' has him arguing against the Dark Warrior Program, saying straight-up that it is a bad idea. Of course, given Veger's personality, it is unclear if he objects to it because he finds it too evil, of it is just [[Pragmatic Villainy]] on his part.
* [[Firing One-Handed]] - The former trope image was taken from a scene near the end where he threatens Jak.
* Handguns
Line 413 ⟶ 415:
* [[Twitchy Eye]] - He gets one after [[The Reveal]].
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]] - He had enough influence to get Jak removed from the city and practically blamed for everything. Unfortunately for him, the publicity doesn't last forever.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] - He really wants to destroy the Metal Heads, and the Dark Makers, but does a lot of terrible things to meet that end. The "Well-Intentioned" part is eventually subverted, however, when it is gradually made clear that Veger actually has his own self-serving motivations for why he wants to destroy the Metal Heads, not because he actually cares about the people of Haven city. He especially shows his true colors when he decides to taunt Jak over his father's death for no reason, other than petty sadism.
=== Damas ===
Line 419 ⟶ 421:
[[File:King Damas 5352.png|frame|"In the unforgiving Wasteland we value strength and survival above all."]]
The king of Spargus City, the home of refugees who were cast out of Haven City and left to die. Before being betrayed by Baron Praxis, he was the leader of Haven City. {{spoiler|He also happens to be Jak's father.}}
Line 452 ⟶ 453:
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Brit]]}}
* [[Family Business]]: Rayn can't escape her father's criminal dealings.
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]}}
* [[My Nayme Is]]
* [[The Ugly
* [[You Killed My Father]]: Jak killed Rayn's father and she becomes quite upset when she finds out, though she forgives him later.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: In the ''Jak X'' commentary, they say that the original plan was to make Rayn [[Big Beautiful Woman|"more Rubenesque"]] to (sort of) match her father. They decided to go for the "standard" Naughty Dog female model for her, instead. ''WHY?!''
Line 569 ⟶ 570:
* [[The Magic Touch]] - {{spoiler|At least when it comes to the Eco Core.}}
