Knights of the Old Republic (video game)/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

=== Carth Onasi ===

 

A Republic War Hero and [[Ace Pilot]]. He has [[Broken Ace|trust issues]] due to being [[Treacherous Advisor|betrayed by his mentor]], Saul Karath.

* [[Crutch Character]]: He starts at level four, which helps to mitigate the [[Luck-Based Mission|Luck Based Combat]] of a d20 combat system at low levels.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He has some ''great'' zingers, especially if a female [[Player Character]] flirts with him.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: In the first game, he is one of the main members of the group and the first to join. In the second, he is a secondary character who is only seen during cutscenes and doesn't meet the Exile (except during his last appearance).

* [[Gut Feeling]]: His various highly accurate gut feelings are implied to be a touch of Force sensitivity. {{spoiler|Especially when you consider that he's a native of a planet heavily populated by Jedi Academy washouts, and that his son is a dark Jedi.}}

 

=== Bastila Shan ===

 

A young Jedi Knight whose mastery of Battle Meditation has made her the key to winning the war against the Sith.

 

=== Mission Vao ===

 

A 14 year old Twi'lek street urchin from Taris.

 

=== Canderous Ordo/{{spoiler|Mandalore the Preserver}} ===

 

A Mandalorian mercenary who misses his people's [[Glory Days]]. {{spoiler|He returns in the sequel, having become the next Mandalore. He seeks to unite the Mandalorian clans under his banner.}}

 

=== HK-47 ===

 

Statement: HK-47 is a psychotic assassin droid who is arguably the most popular character in both games.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Declaration: Those HK-50 droids are mere copycats. Their senseless violence and meaningless murders pale in comparison to their progenitor.

* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Statement: If he activates HK-51 droids, they're confused about what they should do, so he says this:

* [[Breakout Character]]: Statement: Due to his popularity, HK-47 returned in the sequel and the HK-50s were created so versions of him could server as antagonists. He also got a level devoted to him attacking the HK Factory that foolish meatbags cut due to rushing the game. HK-47 went to also make appearances in [[Star Wars Galaxies]] (meaning his programing survived thousands of years) and [[Star Wars: The Old Republic]].

* [[Call a Human a Meatbag]]

 

=== Jolee Bindo ===

 

While Jolee would prefer that people believe that he is simply a crazy old man living in a stump in the woods his [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|skill with his lightsaber]] and his mastery of the force tell a different story...

* [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!]]

* [[Stealth Pun|Stealth]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Pop-Cultural Reference]]:

'''Jolee:''' The Wookiees! }}

* [[Squishy Wizard]]

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: All of the Light Side party members will call the player character on Dark Side actions, but Jolee does it the most often and arguably the most effectively.

A pilot that the Exile meets on Peragus, imprisoned in a force cage. He is more than he appears to be...

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Pure Pazaak".

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Self-described.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: It's hard to get darker or more troublesome than {{spoiler|being a Sith agent who tortured Jedi into the dark side or killed them. He both revelled and was extremely skilled in this line of work}}.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

 

=== Bao-Dur ===

 

A Zabrak engineer and a war buddy of the Exile.

=== Kreia {{spoiler|AKA Darth Traya}} ===

 

A mysterious old woman that the Exile meets on Peragus.

** Furthermore, relating to the {{spoiler|Kreia is Handmaiden's mother}} theories:

"'''I am Kreia'''." }}

* [[Mind Rape]]: Inflicted by her on several other party members. When your wise old mentor starts mind-raping your friends, you know you're in the middle of something special.

 

=== Atris ===

 

One of the last surviving members of the Jedi Council. Also a [[Holier Than Thou|sanctimonious bitch]]. While she and the Exile used to be good friends, she supported the Exile's exile.

 

=== Master Zez-Kai Ell ===

A member of the Jedi Council who is hiding on Korriban.

 

=== Darth Sion ===

 

The Lord of Pain. He is capable from recovering from any injury, but cannot actually heal his wounds. As a result, he is in constant pain.

 

=== HK-50 ===

 

A series of HK-series droids based on their progenitor (HK-47), these droids were created by Revan, and later GO-TO/Goto. Like their progenitor, Revan commissioned HK-50s to be built en masse, recognizing the prowess in HK-47, but never managed to activate them, so they were left dormant for a while, until they were hired by Goto to find surviving Jedi and bring it to him, preferably alive. In accordance with the usual perceptions of HK model assassin droid, the best way to terminate hostilities was to kill everything present. HK-50 units were identical in appearance to HK-47, with the primary exception being that they are "a rather poor shade of durasteel" in color instead of HK-47's rusty red.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: They ''hate'' HK-47, which is mutual. The HK-50s view HK-47 as obsolete, while HK-47 finds them to be cheap copycats.

* [[Beat]]: They don't know who built the facility they were made in, or even why, but one gives a suggestion.

'''HK-50''': "Defensive Statement: That theory is no less valid than *your* theories. In the lack of evidence, I defend my position." }}

* [[Blatant Lies]]: He's just a protocal droid. Who looks just like [[Blood Knight|HK-47]]? Has the same letter designation? Is among the few still left in a place that's overrun with dead humans? And denies that he killed them without any prompt to do so? ''Riiiiight''.

* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Common occurance with the Peragus HK-50 droid.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: When they're confronted by HK-51 droids reprogrammed by HK-47, this is how one takes the news.

* [[Degraded Boss]]: One gives the party trouble on Peragus. Three give them trouble on Telos. By the endgame of Nar Shaddaa, however, T3-M4 is capable of taking out three of them singlehanded with little effort.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: In essence, the HK-50 on Peragus is a [[Darker and Edgier]] version of HK-47, with a sociopathy that ''is not'' [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: In cut content, the HK-50s claim that they want to exterminate all organics in the galaxy, but that's just a tertiary objective.

* [[Parrot Exposition]]: Both played straight and lampshaded during the player's first conversation with the HK-50 unit on Peragus.

'''HK-50''': Irritated Statement: Master, if you insist on echoing everything I say, this already tedious conversation is in danger of becoming even longer. }}

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Just them in general, since they're all the same basic droid, with a few personality differences.

* [[Smug Snake]]: This is a response to HK-47 asking a question about their capabilities, who lampshades it ''before he even says it''.

* [[Spanner in the Works]]: Most noticeable with the HK-50 on Peragus. In fact, their secondary objective is to destabilize the Republic, posing as protocol droids that served in key positions during diplomatic conferences, meetings and treaty negotiations.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Employed by HK-50 during the Exile's first conversation, if he is accused of being involved in the deaths of the Peragus miners.

* [[Cowardly Boss]]: Briefly fought Talia in the throne room, before running up a ramp and letting his men attack the Exile. He couldn't even beat Talia in a straight-up fight.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Check this little exchange between him and the colonel.

'''Vaklu''':"Have we, Tobin, or is this just a preface to another one of your failures?" }}

* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Noticing how much Onderon had given to the Republic in both the Mandalorian Wars and the post-Jedi Civil War, and how little Onderon had received in return, Vaklu became dissatisfied with the now-weakened Republic, and openly announced his desires for Onderon to secede from the Republic.

 

=== Colonel Tobin ===

 

An officer in the Onderon military under Vaklu, Tobin believed that benefits with the planet's recent relationship with the Republic favored the interstellar government, while Onderon's culture and resources faded away. He was informed that the Ebon Hawk would arrive on Onderon and ordered six starfighters to attack it, later sending a squad of scouts to search for the vessel after it landed on Dxun. He would later attempt to arrest the Exile and Kavar with a squad of soldiers, but failed in doing so - Kavar and the Exile escaped, with the latter taking out the entire squad. Later participated in the civil war against Queen Talia.

 

=== Dol Grenn ===

 

A human lieutenant in the Telos Security Force, Grenn is a grizzled, well-respected veteran that held to a staunch adherence to the law, devoting his life to seeing it upheld on Citadel Station.

 

=== Zherron ===

 

Captain of the militia on Dantooine, noted for straightforward speech and direct action.
