== Player Characters ==
===
* [[AFGNCAAP]]: For most of the first game. Averted in the third.
* [[Badass]]: The Replica are all [[Heavily Armored Mook|Heavily Armed]] [[Super Soldier
* [[Badass Beard]]: As of ''F.E.A.R. 3'', being a [[Rogue Agent]] and all.
* [[Bullet Time]]: Everything appears to go this way when the Point Man triggers his Reflex/Slo-Mo powers, though in reality its the fact that he is moving [[Super Speed|superhumanly fast]]. This appears to be a particular manifestation of his psychic abilities.
Line 17:
* [[Implacable Man]]: Really, the entirety of FEAR 3. The game could be described as a long string of apocalyptic disasters combined with continuous heavy assault by an army of clones, robots, and helicopters, as well as [[Mind Screw]] psychic monster phenomena on a scale that can only be rated as "demonic", all ''completely and utterly failing to stop'' the Point Man. All the areas you play through are pretty much getting torn down around you.
* [[Kubrick Stare]]: Of the "I-want-to-skullfuck-you-to-death" kind. It's his default mode.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
{{quote|He's too fast!
We can't stop him! }}
* [[Made of Iron]]
* [[Man Child]]: Not explicit, but he was apparently put into stasis as an adolescent before being memory wiped, surgically modified, and trained years later. It manifests through his single-minded determination to kill everything in his way and his lack of speech and/or opinion.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Blowing up the Origin Facility did nothing but {{spoiler|causing a nuclear explosion beneath Fairport which killed thousands of its residents, but not [[Big Bad|Alma]], as intended.}}
* [[No Name Given]]
* [[One-Man Army]] -- [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Spencer Jankowski.
* [[Player Character]]
* [[Protagonist Without a Past]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Paxton Fettel. ''F.3.A.R.'' goes into some detail about the actual past, or at least some of the highlights of it.
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: In the third game he takes part in a psychic battle, so he would appear to have some psychic capabilities similar to Beckett and Keegan (as implied by his reflexes). However, it is later noted that his potential as a psychic is extremely low, below normal, as opposed to Beckett and Keegan who are both powerful psychics.
Line 34:
* [[When She Smiles|When He Smiles]]: In his ending for ''F.E.A.R. 3''. {{spoiler|His stoic demeanor actually cracks a little when he holds his baby sibling.}}
===
The unknown hero of ''Perseus Mandate'', the point man of the Second F.E.A.R. Team. Little is known about him, other than the fact that he's a Sergeant... {{spoiler|And that according to Paxton Fettel, bears resemblance to his brother, the F.E.A.R. Point Man, which might explain why he can Slow-Mo.}}
* [[Bullet Time]]
* [[Expy]]
** [[Identical Stranger]]
** [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* [[Made of Iron]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[No Name Given]]
* [[One-Man Army]]
* [[Player Character]]
* [[Protagonist Without a Past]] -- [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded again]] by Paxton Fettel.
===
The [[Player Character]] of ''Project Origin'', Becket is a highly gifted soldier with latent psychic abilities, which are brought to the forefront by Project Harbinger. He is a member of a special delta unit known as "Dark Signal," which {{spoiler|consists exclusively of Harbinger subjects, who are all potential Replica commanders.}}
Line 68:
{{quote|{{spoiler|''"She's... fucking.... '''pregnant!!'''''}}}}
===
A Replica that eventually goes rogue at the when Paxton Fettel instructed him to go on a mission to free the latter from imprisonment.
Line 80:
== Major Antagonists ==
===
{{quote|''Kill them. Kill them all''}}
Line 130:
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: ''Dear Lord.''
===
{{quote|''Some secrets can be buried deeper than others, but I know where to dig...''}}
Line 146:
* [[Full-Name Basis]]: His first and surname are both pretty distinctive on their own, but you'll see him referred to in full as "Paxton Fettel" as often as not. Likely because it just rolls off the tongue.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: When possessing bodies.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: When he and the Point Man reach Beckett, {{spoiler|Fettel possesses Beckett, knowing that this ''will'' kill him, simply because invading his body and taking the memories by force is faster than trying to chat him up.}}
* [[Not So Different]]: Fettel ultimately becomes much like Harlan Wade, whom he utterly despises.
Line 155:
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: He had an ''incredibly'' shitty life as a child, so when he finally gets loose, gets killed, and comes back, he's rather pissed and perfectly willing to destroy the world.
===
{{quote|''Just as easily as I '''CREATED YOU''', so too can I '''DESTROY YOU!'''''}}
Line 168:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: During the final confrontation with it, the Creep goes on a series of massive, enormously loud rants as it flails away at the Point Man and Fettel.
===
{{quote|''It is the way of men to create monsters....and the way of monsters to destroy their creators.''}}
Line 182:
* [[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.}}
===
{{quote|''Without Alma I have no leverage. Without leverage, I have no future!''}}
Line 196:
* [[Rich Bitch]]: You just wanna strangle her.
===
{{quote|''I want nothing left to link us to Alma or Origin or any of the insanity.''}}
Line 210:
== United States Military ==
==
===
* [[Linked-List Clue Methodology]]: Betters pieces together the truth behind Project Origin as you progress. If you don't guess before he does, he often provides [[The Reveal]] if not [[As You Know]].
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: F.E.A.R's field coordinator. He appears in person at the very beginning of the game, drives you to Auburn and is not seen in person hence.

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.}}
* [[Eye Scream]]
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Despite his ghostly subsequent apperances, Jankowski's actual corpse is never seen. [[Word of God]] is you were originally meant to find it, but that it was decided it was [[Nothing Is Scarier|scarier this way.]] Oddly, F.E.A.R. command continues to pick up his signal, though it appears and disappears at random in wildly varying locations.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?|What Happened To The Lieutenant]]? -- His fate is to eventually be killed in action and his eyes gouged out, but the killer, whether it be Alma, Paxton Fettel or any of their Replica goons is left unanswered.
===
* [[Camera Fiend]]: As the team's analyst and forensics expert, Jin is never seen without her camera.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: She was [[Word of God|originally]] meant to be this, but it was found that the tight quarters of most of the game's battles precluded a sniper ally. This can still be seen in her gloves with the alternately-colored trigger fingers. She was thence downgraded to [[The Medic]].
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Late in ''F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point'', though the events of the first game's expansions were [[Retcon
* [[The Medic]]: Though she spends some time playing medic for others, including the Point Man after the warehouse explosion, he doesn't really need her help. He has [[Heal Thyself|a stack of medkits anyway.]]
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: Apart from Rowdy Betters, Jin is the biggest user of the radio.

[[The Lancer|The Second F.E.A.R. Team's lancer]], if anything. He seems to be the member with an expertise in handling just about any problem the Second Team gets across, be it combat, forensics or wiretapping.
Line 250:
{{spoiler|Steve Chen is doomed to die in ''Perseus Mandate'', when early on in one of the Sergeant's visions, he was seen dragged into a puddle of black liquid, the poor sap.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]

===
* [[Badass Normal]]: Holiday is the only Delta Force operative who doesn't get his ass handed to him over the course of the game. In the Xbox360 port, he gets his own playable level wherein he of course lacks the Point Man's killer reflexes, but mows down whole squads of Replicas anyway.
Line 266:
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Holiday uses demolition charges to clear the way, and also defuses the bomb strapped to Aldus Bishop.
===
{{quote|'''See Player Characters'''}}
===
Dark Signal's communications officer, Lt. Stokes is the only female member of the squad {{spoiler|and the only one without any psychic abilities}}. Despite being a commissioned officer, she lets Staff Sergeant Griffin command the unit in combat, as she is primarily a communications specialist.
Line 283:
* [[You Are in Command Now]]: Takes over after {{spoiler|Alma kills Griffin}}.
===
Member of Dark Signal who seems to be having odd health issues during the mission, which only gets worse when he gets shot early on and subsequently starts suffering abrupt migraines. {{spoiler|Per Harbinger records, he has psychic potential comparable to Paxton Fettel}}. Midway through the game, {{spoiler|he is possessed and transformed by Alma, and becomes involuntarily infatuated with her.}}
* [[Bullet Time]]: During the final battle, {{spoiler|he is capable of doing this to ''you''.}} The only way to {{spoiler|slow him down is to enter slo-mo yourself.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]}}: After being {{spoiler|possessed and [[Mind Rape
* [[Fighting From the Inside]]: "Beckett....HELP ME!"
* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]]}}
Line 295:
===
The leader of the Dark Signal Team. Survived the Fairport explosion and tried to link up with the rest of the team. He gets {{spoiler|killed by Alma while Stokes and Becket were right behind him.}}
===
===
Morales is the APC driver for the Dark Signal Team... taking the crew where they need to go in case they need to link up.
Line 309:
== Armacham Technology Corporation ==
===
A major defense contractor for the United States military, Armacham develops extremely high-tech weapons in a variety of fields, including aerospace, robotics, and the emerging field of psychic warfare. ATC also maintains and operates a large PMC force and conventional military, and was responsible for a lot of construction in the city of Fairport. However, the truth is that Armacham's military and economic power is surprisingly vast, with an enormously powerful military force, highly-advanced technology, and extensive holdings across the world, making them a classic [[Cyberpunk]]-esque [[Mega Corp]].
Line 321:
* [[Super Soldier]]: Projects Origin, Harbinger, ''and'' Perseus.

Cloned [[Super Soldier|super soldiers]] created by Armacham Technology Corporation as part of Project Perseus, intended to be controlled by a psychic commander. Naturally, [[It Got Worse]] once Paxton Fettel went crazy.
* [[Cloning Blues]]
** Of note is that at one point in ''Reborn'', a Replica begins to question orders, by asking about their deployment and requesting a higher clearance level. His commander requests permission to summarily execute said Replica, and receives it. In the few seconds it takes for this to happen, the Replica about to be executed doesn't move or twitch or do ''anything'' to protect himself. Like ''everything else'' that the Replica do, [[Uncanny Valley|he just sits there and waits to be shot in the head]].
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Faceless Goons]]
* [[Heavily Armored Mook]]
* [[Mini-Mecha]]
* [[Oh Crap]]
* [[Super Soldier]]
* [[Powered Armor]]
===
Armacham's immensely powerful military division, divided into different groups. ATC Security handles day-to-day physical security and initial response, and form the primary ATC enemy in the first game and its expansions. Security is characterized by their light civilian armor, sunglasses, and caps. Black Ops, which handles dangerous covert and cleanup operations, forms the ATC enemy in the second game and its expansions, and are characterized by heavier full-body armor and a high-tech, cyberpunk aesthetic to their gear. In the third game ATC has deployed conventional military forces which have occupied the city of Fairport and are conducting a general purge of the civlian populace, now driven insane by Alma. These mercenaries are characterized by modern military-style armor and equipment and balaclavas.
