Metal Slug/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

== Protagonists (broken down by game appearance) ==

 

==== Marco (Marchrius Dennis Rossi) ====

Marco joined the military's vocational school following technical high school, and after graduating, joined the Peregrine Falcons Squadron, soon becoming its leader. Though generally a good-natured guy, he tends to flip his shit whenever Morden is mentioned, given the fact that Morden was responsible for the deaths of many of his good friends.

 

* [[The Ace]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: Anything involving General Morden.

Son of a military man, he entered the Special Forces Training School after finishing junior high. At age 20, he joined the Peregrine Falcons on a mission to rescue the president, at which point he met Marco, the two becoming fast friends. When he found out Marco had been selected to take part in the counteroffensive against Morden, Tarma was quick to volunteer. Though he often pokes fun at Marco, he holds his friend in the highest regard.

 

* [[Ace Pilot]]: His specialty on the team starting in ''6''. He's the best at handling vehicles, and it translates to gameplay as tougher vehicles, stronger weapons in them, and new abilities.

* [[Everything's Better with Motorcycles]]: His hobby in his spare time.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: The Shotgun.

 

 

=== ''Metal Slug 2'' ===

 

Eri was found abandoned on the steps of a church. When she became wise to the ways of the world, she eventually ran off and became the leader of a gang of street kids. The Intelligence Department of the Regular Army noticed her leadership skills, and thus recruited her. She went on to receive spy training, and took part in a number of missions requiring assassination. She found these types of missions distasteful, and requested a transfer to the SPARROWS division. Given her impressive track record, it was approved. Once transferred to the SPARROWS division, she was assigned the role of team demolitions expert.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Kicks as much ass as any of the men.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Setting a trend, she wears a short sleeveless top and short-shorts, which exposes her belly, which somehow becomes the "uniform" for the female soldiers in the SPARROWS division.

Daughter of the massively wealthy Germi Family, hailing from Italy. The Germi family has historically been a military family, sending their oldest into service, so naturally her father wished for a healthy son to carry on the name. However, following Fio's difficult childbirth, her mother was unable to bear anymore children, making it the first time the Germi heir was female.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: No less a capable fighter than any of the men.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Best exemplified by her victory animation of her falling down coquettishly. Mind you, this is after wiping out hundreds of enemy troops.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: As is the norm with female fighters in the ''Metal Slug'' universe.

* [[Meganekko]]: An archetypical example in video games. She's got the cute look, modest personality, and is overall moe because of it.

* [[More Dakka]]: Her Specialty from ''Metal Slug 6'' onwards.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: The Rocket Launcher.

 

=== ''Metal Slug 4'' ===

 

Initially, Nadia wanted to go into the modeling business, but she couldn't stop eating, which meant she kept gaining weight, so she enlisted into the Regular Army for the exercise. Here, she discovered her skills as a soldier, and was chosen to help in stopping the Amadeus Syndicate from releasing its supervirus. Here, Nadia was a stand-in for Eri, who had been assigned to other duties. The one thing putting her apart from Eri is that her alternate melee weapon is a souped-up taser, capable of shredding the enemy. Unfortunately, due to some in-game bugs, she doesn't get as many points for using her melee.

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Runs and guns with the best of them.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

Trevor received his first computer at age three. By the time he was seven, not only could he perform complex coding, he also worked on creating antivirus programs during summer break, many of which are still in use at the school he attended. When he ended up joining the Peregrine Falcons, he found a great deal of respect for Marco, whose own computer skills surpassed his own. Here, he acted as Tarma's stand-in. His melee involves kicking the enemy so hard, it shreds them apart; he gains double points for this, but he has to hold still.

 

* [[Armed Legs]]: His melee is a powerful kick called Knife Boots.

* [[Asian and Nerdy]]: Korean and a [[Playful Hacker]].

=== Crossover Appearances ===

 

 

==== Ralf Jones ====

Aside from his participation in various fighting tournaments, little to nothing else is known about him or Clark. There's rumors flying around, but he tends to ignore them.

 

Though carrying half as much ammo and grenades as anyone else, Ralf makes up for this with his Vulcan Punch, capable of destroying tanks, and his melee speed is much faster than anyone else's (and his normal melee can also damage things that others cannot). He's also the only character capable of taking two hits. He's just that tough.

 

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Clark.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: The guy is willing to charge a tank with his bare hands.

 

==== Clark Still ====

Clark and Ralf have been longtime friends, even in the unit the two of them are assigned to.

 

Clark's unique ability is his Super Argentine Backbreaker, a special melee move capable of earning him a lot of points in a short time frame. He also gains a small window of invulnerability with each enemy he tosses with this. However, it only works on certain human-sized enemies.

 

* [[Cool Shades]]: Much like Tarma. Echoing Tarma's relationship with Marco, the shades serve to differentiate Clark and Ralf.

* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: If you can overcome its short range, the Super Argentine Backbraker will rip nearly any horde of (human) mooks a new one, earning you tons of points and a lot of invincibility time.

 

==== Leona Heidern ====

Leona was adopted by Commander Heidern following her involuntary transformation and slaughter of her hometown, and Clark and Ralf helped to oversee her training.

 

Leona joins the team for ''XX'', but has to be unlocked via DLC (she's only 99 cents, well worth it). She carries an amalgamation of everyone else's skills. (Stronger pistol fire, 20% more ammo and grenades, Slugs can take an extra hit, and she retains her weapons after losing a life. Interestingly, her special melee, Moon Slasher, can destroy bullets.) According to her profile, Clark, Fio and Leona finished a mission that also further bonded the three as being good friends.

 

* [[Badass Abnormal]]

 

== Antagonists (By game appearance) ==

Things went well for Morden, up until the Central Park bombing, which not only took away his right eye (hence the eye patch he wears), but it also killed his young son. To twist the knife even further, he later found out that Regular Army Intelligence knew about the bomb threat and pushed for the high command to stop it, but due to rampant corruption in the system at the time, the higher-ups dismissed the threat as being a mere prank or so (later blaming the bombing on a lack of intel), which, when combined with his emotional instability and rampant alcoholism following afterwards, ended in Morden's resignation.

 

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Appearing on screen is usually a sign that he'll suffer a [[Humiliation Conga]].

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: The man certainly looks imposing thanks to his eye patch.

Morden's right hand man and bodyguard. When Morden resigned from the Regular Army, Allen, alongside all of Morden's supporters, followed him out. He's most remembered for taking insane amounts of punishment and supposedly being killed each game (he's eaten by an Orca in ''Metal Slug 2''), only to return later. In ''Metal Slug 3'', he not only died, but came back in the same level. Aside from being nigh unkillable, he also has a wife and son to return home to at the end of the day.

 

* [[Annoying Laugh]]/[[Evil Laugh]]: When he's not taunting the player, he usually can be heard going "AHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!".

* [[Boss Banter]]:

Aliens from Mars, if that wasn't obvious enough (though they do resemble squids, according to some). Possessing spaceships straight out of a 50's B-movie, they allied themselves with Morden, but were really using him to weaken Earth's defenses so they could take over with little to no opposition. Though defeated at the end of ''2''/''X'', they kidnapped Morden before the events of ''3'', sending a Mars Person to impersonate him, and eventually capturing one of the player's characters and creating clones of him/her.

 

* [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Resemble giant squid or octopi.

 

...But he wasn't. At the beginning of ''Metal Slug 6'', Morden and the Mars People were looking for his body, and just as they located it, the Venusians came in. It turns out that while he was on the ocean floor, Rootmars had apparently recovered from his free-fall beating at the hands of the team, and learned his lesson as well. During Stage 4, if you take the alternate route, Rootmars will swoop down and grab your player, taking him or her to the next destination whilst also being outfitted with two Gatling guns, helping take down the Venusians. Taking this route also means Rootmars saves you at the end of the game.

 

* [[Psychic Powers]]: Fitting for an alien with a giant brain, it has psychic powers.

* [[Super Intelligence]]: Part of the reason he's the leader of the Mars People.

Their queen came to Earth via an asteroid, and was quick to set up an underground shelter for her brood. After one hell of a fight against the team, she fell to her death, releasing an explosion that apparently killed the protagonists as well. Depending on which route you took in Stage 4, either Morden or Rootmars will save the player.

 

* [[Horde of Alien Locusts]]

* [[Zerg Rush]]

A Second Lieutenant of the Regular Army, he's a living legend among the soldiers. Pretending to be a captured POW, once he's "rescued" by the player, he helps out by firing homing Hadokens at the enemies and spin-kicking anyone else who gets too close. He will flee if you die though.

** In her special version, Amber will be unable to escape no matter how her slug is destroyed and will always die in the explosion if she is defeated.

* [[Transforming Mecha]]: Her Slug Gunner opens up and starts attacking when near enemies.

A female pilot of a prototype Powered Armor developed by the Regular Army's top secret weapon systems program known as the Metal Device Project.
