* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's standoffish and blunt, but despite it all he saves Helena and does his best to help her. When they see a downed parasaur, he tells Helena it's better to leave it to die, then begrudgingly helps her pull out the arrow.

* MuggingTheMonster: Because of its herbivore status and resemblance to other herbivores that are completely non-violent, like the parasaur and gallimimus, inexperienced players may try to kill it for meat and hide, only to find that unlike those other herbivores, the iguanodon ''will'' fight back if attacked. Fortunately, once you're tough enough to take on Carnos, the ''Iguanodon'' is entirely killable.

Added DiffLines:

* IronicName: Helena's ''Parasaurolophus'' in ''The Animated Series'' is named "Scary", yet its a docile herbivore like the rest of its species and occasionally licks her affectionately, making it anything but scary.

* ArcVillain: Nerva served as one for the story told in the Island's Explorer Notes. While he was manipulated subtly by Rockwell later on, as the commander of the New Legion, he became the biggest obstacle that Helena and Mei-Yin faced on their journey through the Island, seeking dominion with his New Legion.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: While the Overseer serves as one in gameplay for the player, being their main obstacle to overcome to access the other ARKs, Nerva filled this role in the Explorer Notes written on the Island. Being one of the only antagonists to write Explorer Notes (the only other one being Rockwell), his defeat on the Island and absence from later maps allows Helena to be mostly unburdened by direct antagonists (until Rockwell's betrayal) while learning more about the ARKs.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While he eventually became evil in the backstory of the games, he started out as a somewhat decent person, if a bit amoral and egotistical, and had a genuinely amicable relationship with Helena before it soured. In the animated series however, he not only joined Nerva's New Legion much earlier, but even takes part in their raids. He's also much more openly cruel in his treatment of both animals and captives, and is also heavily implied to be outright racist and/or sexist towards Helena.

to:

A humanitarian aid worker and Helena's wife back in her time. Her death sent Helena into a depressive spiral that led to her suicide, sending her to the island.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She went on a very dangerous mission to save refugees because she felt that they needed her help. It got her killed.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: During a difficult presentation, Helena looks to her in the audience, and her mantra is "You're here, and I'm here." Losing her was what caused Helena's suicide, but the memories of her are what drive Helena to try and survive regardless.
* TheLostLenore: Her death was what drove Helena into her depression and into mixing pills and wine.
* ThemedTattoos: She and Helena shared a fish fossil tattoo on the inside of their left wrists. Helena reacts badly to seeing that the implant has destroyed hers.



A US Army Ranger who was storming the beaches of Normandy when he was taken. He's the first human Helena meets.




to:

* DecoyProtagonist: He's the first person Helena meets, has an interesting personality, is voiced by a well-known actor, and advertising for the series implied that he'd be the one teaching Helena how to surivive. Instead he dies within the first fifteen minutes.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: He doesn't show any sexism towards Helena, but is surprised that she's a professor, since female professors (let alone professors of color) were very rare in his time.
* DramaticIrony: He says he can tell that Helena is new here and won't survive 30 minutes, but decides to help her anyway. He's the one who dies.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's standoffish and blunt, but despite it all he saves Helena and does his best to help her. When they see a downed parasaur, he tells Helena it's better to leave it to die, then begrudgingly helps her pull out the arrow.
* MrExposition: He's the one that explains to Helena the time travel aspects of the Ark and gives her his clothes and back.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Downplayed. He runs around in just his underwear, "just as nature intended". That, and he was tired of uniforms and taking orders.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: There's no indication that there are other hostile humans on the island until he's shot through the head mid-sentence.
