F.E.A.R./Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Kubrick Stare]]: Of the "I-want-to-skullfuck-you-to-death" kind. It's his default mode.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]] -- Just ask any [[Oh Crap|freaked-out]] Replica when he goes Slow-Mo.

We can't stop him! }}

* [[Made of Iron]] -- He gets thrown out of a three-story building from an explosion set off by Alma and doesn't suffer lethal injuries at all. And later, he survives a nuclear blast at point-blank that leaves a mile-wide crater and flash-fries people miles away into ash. ''F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point'' has a tunnel bomb flinging him several dozens of feet in the air before he crash lands on a roof on a nearby parking garage. ''F.E.A.R. 3'' involves him surviving a helicopter crash, getting launched a few hundred feet by a blast from Fettel, the crashing of a high-altitude transportation pod, and an entire prison collapsing around him.

* [[Made of Iron]]

* [[One-Man Army]]

* {{spoiler|[[Rape as Drama]]}}: The bad thing is... he's on {{spoiler|the receiving end by ''Alma''.}}

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: A combination of Alma's [[Mind Rape]] powers, {{spoiler|her actually raping him}}, and being held captive by Armacham for nine months while being continuously tested and experimented on has driven him gradually insane.

** Which also leads to his [[This Is Sparta|next screaming line]] after one of the third game's interval ending cutscenes...

 

=== '''Foxtrot 813''' ===

=== '''Alma {{spoiler|Wade}}''' ===

 

 

One of the primary characters in the series, around whom nearly everything revolves, Alma is an extremely powerful psychic (as in [[Reality Warper|reality bending]] and [[Person of Mass Destruction|world-ending]] power) who was connected to an Armacham project known as "Origin" to create psychic supersoldiers. She is also {{spoiler|the daughter of Harlan Wade, head of the project}}, and {{spoiler|mother of the Point Man and Fettel}}. She was {{spoiler|sealed inside a psychically shielded vault at the age of eight and forced into a coma to keep her immense power under control}}, and later was {{spoiler|artificially impregnated with two sons.}} After an incident known as a "Synchronicity Event" wherein she {{spoiler|linked her mind with Paxton Fettel's and killed a number of guards}} she was {{spoiler|killed by shutting off her life support, but her corpse was kept in the shielded vault because releasing it would be....''bad.''}} However, Alma's hatred, psychic abilities, and desire to be {{spoiler|reunited with her children allowed her spirit to endure and survive despite physical death.}}

=== '''Paxton Fettel''' ===

 

 

The prototype commander of the Replica soldiers {{spoiler|and the second son of Alma}}. Primary antagonist of the first ''F.E.A.R.'' game and the first expansion. Makes a comeback in the DLC ''F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn'' and becomes a playable character in ''F.E.A.R. 3''.

=== '''The Creep''' ===

 

 

A monstrous, humanlike creature that appears in ''F.E.A.R. 3'', actively hostile to ATC, the Point Man, and Paxton Fettel, who repeatedly attacks and attempts to sabotage the latter's efforts to reach Alma. Appears to actually be {{spoiler|an amalgam of the darkest and most hideous aspects of Harlan Wade's personality and the memories associated with him in the Point Man, Fettel, and Alma's minds.}}

=== '''Harlan Wade''' ===

 

 

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Hoo boy. And it doesn't just extend to {{spoiler|Alma}}, either. Both {{spoiler|Fettel and the Point Man}} got a lot of it too when they were children. One of the {{spoiler|Point Man}}'s flashbacks depicts Harlan putting him in a training ring as an eleven-year old against a fully-grown Armacham soldier, and when he inevitably lost, Harlan flies into a rage and ''beats him with a metal bucket'' so hard that he gets thrown into a concrete pillar.

** Particularly notable in the ones addressed to Genevieve.

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Harlan {{spoiler|returns in ''F.E.A.R. 3'' as a powerful apparition called The Creep, the psychic embodiment of Alma's fear and hatred of him.}}

 

=== '''Genevieve Aristide''' ===

 

 

CEO of Armacham Technology Corporation, and one of the heads of Project Origin. Attempted to restart the project, at which point everything [[Gone Horribly Wrong|went horribly wrong]].

=== '''Colonel Richard Vanek''' ===

 

 

Head of ATC's special operations and cleanup team. One of the main villains.

=== '''F.E.A.R. Point Man''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Lieutenant Spencer "Spen" Jankowski''' ===

 

 

The First F.E.A.R. team's former point man, until the Point Man came along. A seasoned veteran, his job, like Point Man's, is to scour the Armacham Technology Corporation for Paxton Fettel. His life is cut short when he, along with [[Red Shirt|a few Delta Force escorts]] went missing. {{spoiler|From then on, he's seen walking and disappearing around the place, leaving hints about what happened throughout the ''F.E.A.R.'' storyline.}}

=== '''F.E.A.R Sergeant''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Sergeant Michael Becket''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Harlan Wade''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Genevieve Aristide''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Colonel Richard Vanek''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Alma {{spoiler|Wade}}''' ===

 

 

 

=== '''Paxton Fetell''' ===

If you observe their combat patterns carefully, the Nightcrawlers can be distinctly divided into two classes: the lower echelon, the regulars, and the upper echelon, the elites.

 

** That quote, by the way, is dictated in a heavily bored voice with absolutely no emphasis.

** Their commander is the ultimate king of this trope.

'''Nightcrawler commander''': I said, "Ignore him!" }}

* [[Danger Deadpan]] -- All of them. Unlike the Replica, whose [[Oh Crap]] moments are all over the place, the Nightcrawlers have plenty of [[Casual Danger Dialog]]. The upper echelons of the Nightcrawler group ramp this up twofold; the calm demeanor breaks '''only''' at the presence of Alma or Fettel.
