Secret War (fanfic)/Characters: Difference between revisions

"That's the understatement of the century/Millennium/Millennia."

"I could hazard a guess." }}

{{quote|'''Glaitis''':"I know you young Attelus, to all but the most educated you seem...chaotic, strange, random but you really are not. There is some [[Hamlet|method to your madness]]. Some surprisingly sane reasoning as to why, ironically nothing like your father who was always as straight and narrow as anyone can get, that is a trait I can admire, one that would help you if you ever meet the requirement of making you a full fledged assassin...That is if you live that long of course, but for me it makes you predictable."}}

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: It would be a hell of a lot harder to understand Attelus' actions if they were shown from another character's perspective; it's hard even when it's ''from'' his perspective.

* [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences]]: Attelus does this to almost everyone, much to the annoyance of Glaitis in particular.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Attelus is up to [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] levels.

{{quote|"I knew it was over kill but these "Honour Before Reason" idiots were usually tough bastards and that was the only way I could make sure he wasnt ever getting back up."}}

** His genre savviness is used as a character flaw: {{spoiler|his reaction to Elandria's death shows that he kind of knows he's the main character and is therefore highly selfish and paranoid}}.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Wears a skin tight [[Cat Suit|bodyglove]]? Check! Isn't very knowledgeable of human interaction? Check! Insanely hot while at it? Check!

* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|She emotionally tortures Attelus after his horrific injury at the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|axes]] of the Arco Flagellent. Whether she did this of her own accord or under orders is, as yet, unclear, but it certainly confirms that she is more than she [[Hidden Depths|initially seems]]}}.

* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: The moment is [[Lampshaded]] by Attelus' narrative.

{{quote|'''Elandria''': So what is it that you improvise now oh you magnificent bastard you?

* [[Hidden Depths]]: He is one of the most upset when he finds out about {{spoiler|Attelus' [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] on Vex}} and is [[Smarter Than You Look|far, far smarter]] than he seems.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Anyone who thinks he's a typical [[Honour Before Reason]] ex-military type, think again.

* [[True Neutral]]
