Parasite Eve (video game)/Characters: Difference between revisions

Ace operative of the FBI's anti-mitochondrial mutant task force, MIST [[Fun with Acronyms|(Mitochondrion Investigation and Suppression Team)]], formed following reports of Eve's mutated animal minions spreading out from Manhattan. Three years since what has become known as the "N.Y. Blockade" incident, Aya's journey to destroy the newly-monikered "Neo-Mitochondrion Creatures" (NMCs) and put a seal on her own unpredictable powers has led her to Los Angeles. However, an investigation into an NMC outbreak near the ghost town of Dryfield, Nevada will hit closer to home than she ever imagined...

* [[Elemental Powers]]: Which she develops in ''Parasite Eve II''.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Mentioned if you check the bathroom mirror in her motel room. [[Christmas Cake|This is also how you know why she doesn't look like an old crone at the ripe old age of 27.]].

* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Only emphasizes how bad ass he is on duty.

* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: Is never seen without them.

* [[Da Chief]]: Lite.

The last living resident of Dryfield (excepting his dog, Flint, and the hordes of NMCs Aya's come to clean out). A Vietnam vet with a gun collection big enough to claim the title of "The new Wayne", he helps Aya resupply during the investigation despite being compensated in [[Global Currency|some newfangled RPG currency]] rather than cold hard cash. After Aya's car is totaled by a herd of NMCs, he also volunteers his truck to get her and Kyle (below) to an old nuclear shelter that may be the source of the infestation.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Wears a ten gallon hat.

* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: andHe's [[Reversea Mole]]government agent infiltrating the Neo-Ark Project}}.

* [[We Cannot Go on Without You]]: [[Game Over]] for Aya if Kyle loses all 100 of his non-healable [[Hit Points]] (thankfully, he's not as screwed as he looks during the first major battle of Disc 2).

As the main series page calls him, "[[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|a Gunblade-slinging rooftop-hopping ape-like zombie cyborg supersoldier]]" who masterminds an NMC outbreak at the Akropolis shopping center and is apparently the last sentient resident of the Neo-Ark shelter -: his colleagues having either become NMCs themselves in some [[No Transhumanism Allowed|half-assed transhuman orgy]] or been killed by said voluntary converts. {{spoiler|Hired Kyle, whether of his own will or at Baldwin's request, to escort Aya to Neo-Ark so she would eventually disable various barriers that his "queen" had erected around herself}}.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: He's really easily amused.

* [[You Are Number Six]]: Though practically revellingreveling in the inhumanity that this trope entails.

Wondered when she'd show up, eh? Don't expect the [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] of the last game, however -: the new Eve's a [[Mysterious Waif]] {{spoiler|cloned from Aya herself}} and [[The Woobie|raised in isolation with the shittiest children's toys known to man]] -... all to heighten her sense of fear and self-preservation as {{spoiler|the eventual living engine for Neo-Ark's not-quite-an-Ultimate-Being}}. At least her teddy bear's halfway normal.

** {{spoiler|[[ClonesCloning Are People, TooBlues]]}}: WhichShe's leadsa Ayaclone toof {{spoiler|save the girl and adopt herAya}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Happily Adopted]]: Becomes Aya's little sister in the good ending and enjoys her life as a normal child}}.

== fromFrom ''The 3rd Birthday'' ==

The main heroine of the first two ''Parasite Eve'' games. She's [[But Not Too Foreign|half-Japanese]], with blonde hair and [[Author Appeal|blue eyes]]. Because of her highly-evolved mitochondria, she has the appearance of a college student, despite being in her [[Christmas Cake|mid-thirties]].

{{spoiler|...Except this isn't Aya at all. It's Eve, from ''Parasite Eve 2II'', in Aya's body, the result of a failed [[Emergency Transformation]]. As a result, she actually regains a mix of both her actual memories and Aya's, resulting in a ''huge'' [[Tomato Surprise]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]: A trait she shares with a lot of characters in ''The 3rd Birthday''}}.

* [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]]/[[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Her wedding dress in ''The 3rd Birthday''.

* [[Fan Service]]: The developers [[Lampshade]] this with her Maid costume-: they point out she's wearing it "for fun".

* [[Out-of-Clothes Experience]]: When she goes into Liberation mode.

Chief researcher for the CTI and head of the Overdive Investigation Unit. A friendly mentor to Aya and the other people in his unit, he is devoted to finding a way to stop the Twisted. {{spoiler|Like EVERY character in this game, he's not quite what he seems though. Hyde is actually one of the most powerful High Ones --: a race evolved from Eve's remains that is dedicated to the eradication of the Twisted at all costs. He gathered and sub-consciously controls the other High Ones in the group}}.

* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]: In his quest to go back to Time Zero}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]: Killed at "Time Zero", at St. Thomas Cathedral, where he was attending Aya's wedding}}.

{{spoiler|Actually, she is the true [[Player Character]] of ''The 3rd Birthday''. When the SWAT team attacked St. Thomas Cathedral, Aya and all of the other attendees to the wedding were gunned down. In a desperate attempt to save her, Eve dived into Aya's dying body, and quickly killed the soldiers. However, in the process, she destroyed Aya's lingering soul, and the pieces went on to create the Twisted. Eve, in the shock and confusion from what she had just unconsciously done (and the identity crises of having bits of Aya's soul mix with her own), failed to return to her own body and fainted. When she awoke, she had completely lost her memories, and found herself in the care of Hyde Bohr, the head researcher for the CTI. She went on to learn more about her abilities and train as a special soldier with the CTI, under the watch of Gabrielle Monsigny. Unknown to her, in the intense stress during the incident where she lost her memories, her already advanced cells made a huge evolutionary step, and her abandoned body decayed to create the sentient High Ones --: the natural predators to the Twisted}}.

** {{spoiler|[[Action Survivor]]: She's a young teenager in a woman's body who had to learn fighting from scratch --... you've gotta give her credit for her tenacity}}.
