Line 8:
Marco joined the military's vocational school following technical high school, and after graduating, joined the Peregrine Falcons Squadron, soon becoming its leader. Though generally a good-natured guy, he tends to flip his shit whenever Morden is mentioned, given the fact that Morden was responsible for the deaths of many of his good friends.
=== Marco Rossi's Tropes ===
Line 24 ⟶ 20:
Son of a military man, he entered the Special Forces Training School after finishing junior high. At age 20, he joined the Peregrine Falcons on a mission to rescue the president, at which point he met Marco, the two becoming fast friends. When he found out Marco had been selected to take part in the counteroffensive against Morden, Tarma was quick to volunteer. Though he often pokes fun at Marco, he holds his friend in the highest regard.
=== Tarma Roving Tropes ===
Line 39 ⟶ 31:
Eri was found abandoned on the steps of a church. When she became wise to the ways of the world, she eventually ran off and became the leader of a gang of street kids. The Intelligence Department of the Regular Army noticed her leadership skills, and thus recruited her. She went on to receive spy training, and took part in a number of missions requiring assassination. She found these types of missions distasteful, and requested a transfer to the SPARROWS division. Given her impressive track record, it was approved. Once transferred to the SPARROWS division, she was assigned the role of team demolitions expert.
=== Eri Kasimoto Tropes ===
Line 54 ⟶ 42:
Daughter of the massively wealthy Germi Family, hailing from Italy. The Germi family has historically been a military family, sending their oldest into service, so naturally her father wished for a healthy son to carry on the name. However, following Fio's difficult childbirth, her mother was unable to bear anymore children, making it the first time the Germi heir was female.
=== Fio Germi Tropes ===
Line 127 ⟶ 111:
Things went well for Morden, up until the Central Park bombing, which not only took away his right eye (hence the eyepatch he wears), but it also killed his young son. To twist the knife even further, he later found out that Regular Army Intelligence knew about the bomb threat and pushed for the high command to stop it, but due to rampant corruption in the system at the time, the higher-ups dismissed the threat as being a mere prank or so (later blaming the bombing on a lack of intel), which, when combined with his emotional instability and rampant alcoholism following afterwards, ended in Morden's resignation.
=== Morden's Tropes ===
Line 142 ⟶ 120:
Morden's right hand man and bodyguard. When Morden resigned from the Regular Army, Allen, alongside all of Morden's supporters, followed him out. He's most remembered for taking insane amounts of punishment and supposedly being killed each game (he's eaten by an Orca in ''Metal Slug 2''), only to return later. In ''Metal Slug 3'', he not only died, but came back in the same level. Aside from being nigh unkillable, he also has a wife and son to return home to at the end of the day.
=== Allen O'Neal tropes ===
Line 161 ⟶ 137:
Aliens from Mars, if that wasn't obvious enough (though they do resemble squids, according to some). Possessing spaceships straight out of a 50's B-movie, they allied themselves with Morden, but were really using him to weaken Earth's defenses so they could take over with little to no opposition. Though defeated at the end of ''2''/''X'', they kidnapped Morden before the events of ''3'', sending a Mars Person to impersonate him, and eventually capturing one of the player's characters and creating clones of him/her.
=== Mars People Tropes ===
Line 188 ⟶ 160:
A mysterious organization whose threat to the world was the release of the "White Baby Virus", a supervirus powerful enough to penetrate any mainframe's defenses. It also appeared as though Morden was supporting their efforts, though they had made a robotics plant at their base, creating several Morden bots, possibly including the one seen in the opening sequence.

=== ''Metal Slug 5'' ===
Line 223 ⟶ 193:
Rumi originally joined the Regular Army to make use of their medicinal facilities to help her ailing mother, who had a weak heart, and her twin sister Madoka, who was physically ill. Due to a paperwork SNAFU, she was shipped to the front lines, and despite having never completed her training, she made it back unscathed, a miracle in and of itself.

Line 238 ⟶ 204:
Characters that have been introduced in the mobile games ''Metal Slug Defense'' and ''Metal Slug Attack'', broken down by faction.
=== Regular Army
==== MS-Alice ====
An A.I. made sentient due to a programming error from Marco. Alice controls and inhabits an SV-001 and is able to produce a mass hologram of herself.
* Action Duo: Eventually became one with Marco in the form of Equippable Ally, who's able to utilise Alice's full potential.
* Become a Real Boy: During the Halloween Another Story, she chose to work with Aswang for the possibility of gaining a flesh-and-blood body, for the purpose of being able to interact with her creator on a physical plane.
* Cute Monster Girl: Her "Halloween Alice" variant. Operating a new timed firing program changes her appearance into a more fanservice-y, midriff-bearing Horny Devil. Said to be a prank by the creator of said firing program.
* Marilyn Maneuver: When using a special attack, she and her slug will jump into the air. As she descends, she holds her skirt down with her hand to prevent it from flying up.
* Military Salute: When her slug is destroyed, she'll make a tearful salute before her hologram fades away.
* Undying Loyalty: Towards her creator, Marco. Even as far as to hurl herself at an attack that was meant to kill him.
==== Midori Schumann ====
A female weapons engineer of the Regular Army, also part of the Sparrows division.
* All There in the Manual: Her last name is revealed in her concept art.
* Bare Your Midriff: A standard for the Regular Army.
* Child Soldiers: Her age isn't given, but she's certainly young enough that both Marco and Eri are very uncomfortable with actually sending her into a battle, even though circumstances necessitated it.
* Extendo Boxing Glove: One of her close range attacks is a glove coming from her bag of tools.
* Rose-Haired Sweetie: Takes the battlefield in a far less serious matter than any other soldier.
==== Rita Lewinsky ====
A female PF squad recruit who joined the Regular Army around same time as Roberto Nicola.
* Berserk Button: Hates to be referred as a country girl, given as she lived there without public utilities for 18 years.
* Cute Bruiser: Gives off this vibe as well as Adorkable tendencies.
* Dodge the Bullet: Roberto says she's able to dodge bullets during training. Becomes Gameplay and Story Integration where Rita actually has a skill that allows her to dodge projectiles from enemy units.
* The Fashionista: Unlike her fellow teammates who wear standard military attire, she dresses in latest girly fashion trends, with a US-themed tank top and denim short-shorts.
* Kick Chick: Rita is apparently useless with a firearm but she excels in her physical training. According to Tyra, she could destroy a tank's cannon just by kicking, and that's before she was given special leg armor made by Midori. Not to mention she only uses her left leg in combat.
* Remember the New Girl: She joined the Regular Army around the same time as Roberto, even though Roberto's debut dates back to ''Metal Slug Mobile 4'' in 2008.
* Took a Level in Badass: Before joining the Peregrine Falcons, Rita was from a rural area of Japan.
==== Nikita ====
A female officer with strong leadership skills, takes command of a modified Di-Cokka tank with enhanced firepower.
* Calling Your Attacks: Does this with a swing of her baton before firing. Her special attack even has a beat before she does this.
* The Enemy Weapons Are Better: A Regular Army officer who commands a modified Di-Cokka tank that's usually a Rebel Army vehicle.
* Expy: Her appearance and being in a tank may give the impression of Anchovy from Girls und Panzer.
* Just a Kid: Sort of a Berserk Button as she dislikes being treated as such. Practically her motivation to rise up the ranks so she can treated seriously.
* Law of Inverse Recoil: Nikita is often rocked back and forth every time her tank fires a shot.
* Non-Idle Rich: It's noted that she comes from a famous family and has many connections but refuses to rely on them, preferring to put in the effort herself.
* Panty Shot: During her victory animation, Nikita will do a quick flip out of her tank, and her skirt flaps up briefly to expose her white panties as she does so, before she lands on the ground and poses.
* Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: When her tank is destroyed, she calls in a helicopter to save her before the tank explodes. If she was defeated by a critical hit, the tank will instead explode almost immediately, killing her and hurling her body to the ground.
* Small Girl, Big Gun: Downplayed. Her stature is small but her Di-Cokka tank is the size of a Metal Slug, that is equipped with a Wave Motion Gun.
* Wave Motion Gun: Her Solenoid Cannon special attack, that can be described as a smaller and faster version of Tani Oh's Andro Cannon.
