[[File:Aya PE2 7765.jpg|frame]]
 
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...
 
See most above tropes listed for Aya, plus:
 
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: More so in ''Parasite Eve II'' than in ''Parasite Eve 1'' and ''The 3rd Birthday'', mostly when you have her examine something several times. "Do I have to look in there again?" is her comment if you keep trying to make her look into a dirty toilet.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Which she develops in ''Parasite Eve II''.
** [[Playing with Fire|Fire]]: [[Fireballs|Pyrokinesis]], [[Hand Blast|Combustion]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|Inferno]].
** [[Blow You Away|Wind]]: [[Poisonous Person|Necrosis]], [[Full-Contact Magic|Plasma]], [[Shock and Awe|Apobiosis]].
Line 173:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Was 25 during the first game, ought to be 27 now, looks barely 21 thanks to her mitochondria going full blast, leading to...
* [[Shower Scene]]: No, not that! Next one!
* [[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.]].
 
=== Rupert Broderick ===
Line 181:
See Daniel's tropes above. Yes, even [[Dynamic Entry]].
 
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Only emphasizes how bad ass he is on duty.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: He lost his family during the N.Y. Blockade incident. Now he dedicates his life to exterminating neo-mitochondrion creatures.
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: He wields the Mongoose at the start of the game, which he gives to you only if you're on the Sad Ending route.
Line 189:
Somewhere between "The new Wayne" and "The new Maeda" falls MIST's resident computer whiz. Though he just plain [[Doesn't Like Guns]], that's about the only hindrance to his assistance to Aya via [[Hollywood Hacking]] or item delivery.
 
* [[Does Not Like Guns]]: Lampshaded by Jodie. He's also quite bad with them, as he once tried to load 9mm Parabellum rounds into a .38 revolver (in his defense, those have only a half millimeter difference in diameter). Ironically, he oversees the shooting range at HQ.
* [[Does Not Like Guns]]
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Depending on the ending route.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Was known to do this during his spare time before he was caught by the government. Now he puts his hacking skills to use for them.
* [[Playful Hacker]]
* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: Is never seen without them.
 
=== Eric "Hal" Baldwin ===
Line 199:
Aya's new boss. Far too impersonal to call "The new Baker". {{spoiler|More like "The new Klamp"}}.
 
* [[Da Chief]]: Lite.
* {{spoiler|1=[[Treacherous Advisor]]: Is in on the Neo-Ark Project, and may have helped procure Aya's cellular samples to assist them in cloning this newest breed of NMCs}}.
 
Line 214:
[[File:pe2-gary 2113.jpg|frame]]
 
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.
 
* [[Arms Dealer]]: During the latter half of the game.
* [[Big Friendly Dog]]: His dog Flint.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Despite his gruff demeanor, he means well and assists Aya to the best of his abilities.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: Wears a ten gallon hat.
* [[Retired Badass]]: He's a decorated Vietnam vet who lost a leg in a minefield.
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: The caretaker thereof.
Line 228:
A so-called private detective Aya encounters in Dryfield, claiming to be looking into strange shipments going into a nearby nuclear shelter once owned by a doomsday cult. Since he's one of the few [[Escort Mission]] escortees in the business who doesn't suck for some reason or another, Aya teams up with him to discover the shelter's connection to the new NMCs. {{spoiler|Is a [[Double Agent]] for what's left of the Neo-Ark group, hired to bring Aya so that she could open the pathway to a runaway test subject. In turn, he was planted in Neo-Ark by the U.S. government, to pinpoint their Ultimate Being analogue for destruction via [[Kill Sat|orbital railgun]]}}.
 
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: andHe's [[Reversea Mole]]government agent infiltrating the Neo-Ark Project}}.
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: Was going to kill {{spoiler|Eve but Aya stops him, as she saw that Eve was just a scared little girl who didn't want to be used as a power/control source anymore}}.
* [[A Taste of Power]]: When teaming up with Aya for combat sequences, usually wields a cool weapon from the next shopping tier or two up.
* [[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).
 
=== Number 9 ===
 
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}}.
 
* [[BFS]]: Though his use of a [[Final Fantasy VIII|Gunblade]] is more memorable, he DID pack a mean randomly-on-fire machete during his first showdown with Aya.
* [[Elite Mook]]: Not all that evident, with anything resembling a [[Big Bad]] proper already dead.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: He's really easily amused.
* [[One Hit KO]]: During the first fight with him, his flame sword attack is a guaranteed kill, moreso if he's backed Aya in a corner.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Two and a half out of four ain't bad.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: Though practically revellingreveling in the inhumanity that this trope entails.
 
=== Eve ===
[[File:pe2-maya 1815.jpg|frame]]
 
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|She gets absorbed into the final boss, but Aya manages to save her. With Rupert's help, Aya adopts the girl as a sister. Eve also apparently lost most of her power, but overall, she's quite well-adjusted and is going to school in the end}}.
 
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: She was raised to be this way, amplified by being forced to wear a [[Final Fantasy VI|slave crown]]-esque helmet.
* {{spoiler|[[Clones Are People, Too]]}}: Which leads Aya to {{spoiler|save the girl and adopt her}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Cloning Blues]]}}
** {{spoiler|[[ClonesCloning Are People, TooBlues]]}}: WhichShe's leadsa Ayaclone toof {{spoiler|save the girl and adopt herAya}}.
* [[Cute Mute]]: She never speaks until late in the game.
* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: Her prized possession is a teddy bear.
* {{spoiler|[[Happily Adopted]]: Becomes Aya's little sister in the good ending and enjoys her life as a normal child}}.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]]: She was created to be used as {{spoiler|a living power source for Neo Ark's Ultimate ANMC}}.
