History Characters / AmbienceAFleetSymphony

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: has to tell the ship girls during the first visit to Chicago that trying to have the rich give the poor money to help them is not the proper way to enrich the poor.

* CoolGun: for Operation Sandblast, Sanford comes equipped with the [[https://www.keltecweapons.com/rifles/rdb Kel-Tec RDB-17 bullpup assault rifle]] which features a unique downwards-facing casing ejection port that sends empty bullet casings after firing their rounds straight down to the ground, directly behind the magazine, rather than off to the side.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: has to bring Kongou's ideals back down to earth in chapter 61 upon salvaging her [[LethalChef terribly made curry]] by telling her that emotions and thoughts do little to making food if she has no idea how to properly cook it.

* {{Shoutout}}: in chapter 299, he goes in depth about the Shiratsuyu-Class's protocols: [[spoiler:they're basically computerized magic spell frameworks derived from an ancient magic technique called the [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana Unrestricted Spell method.]]]]

* ArmorPiercingSlap: has given two of them out so far: one to [[spoiler:Kaga]], and one to [[spoiler:Shoukaku]].

* SinisterScythe: wields a huge mechanical scythe called "Burial At Sea". [[NamesTheSame Meaning that both Damon and Kevinson have scythes...]]

* WeaponOfChoice: The [[http://www.jtactical.com/rogue MK-14 Rogue Chassis designated marksman rifle]] and the [[https://us.glock.com/products/model/g37 Glock 37 .45 GAP pistol.]] He only uses other weapons if the mission at hand compels him to do so, and he faithfully uses these two weapons [[spoiler:up until his death at Little Rock.]] The karambit curved knife also counts, as he uses one in conjunction with the previously stated weapons. While he does lose it for a time, he gets another one back in chapter 239.

* WeaponOfChoice: her Colt M1911-A1, her signature sidearm from the [[StealthSequel stealth prequel]].

* BerserkButton: Rape. The things he'll do to the men who commit this [[spoiler:(particularly if the victims also happen to be ship girls)]] are quite bloody.

* ItIsDehumanizing: his other BerserkButton. Damon takes it personally whenever he hears someone call his ship girls as anything less than human.

* BerserkButton: naturally, given that in this universe, Maribel is her daughter, she gets quite upset if something happens to her.

* KnifeNut: both discussed and subverted - Sanford says that his pocket knife [[spoiler:which they find at one of the hidden nuclear missile sites in Iran]] is more of a valued possession rather than a sign of Hank's obsession with knives, and that this pocket knife was more of his WeaponOfChoice than anything.

* {{Determinator}}: if it comes down to the safety of his ship girls, Damon will stop at nothing to ensure that they're bailed out. [[UpToEleven Not even death has been able to hold him down - three times, in fact, so far.]]

** During his first excursion into Atlanta to steal Kaga away from the Atlantans, Damon refuses Amatsukaze's invocation of IWillOnlySlowYouDown when she gets crippled by her own sister and can't walk on her own and personally carries her on his back for the rest of the mission. Take this UpToEleven, when he even leaps out of a collapsing building five or so stories up while carrying her and cushions the landing for her and nearly breaks his own spine in the process.

* BeingHumanSucks: in chapter 8, he deplores the lack of durability of human bodies relative to those of ship girls' in a RantInducingSlight.

* NotSoDifferent: as much as they like to bicker, argue, and sometimes even fight physically, Sanford is surprisingly more similar to Damon personality-wise than the two seem to want to admit.

* NotSoDifferent: compare Kevinson to Damon: both are Admirals of their respective fleets, one former and one current. Both have special mechanized augmentations supplied to them by Lukenstor - Kevinson has cybernetic limbs, while Damon has a powered exosuit. Both have scythes as weapons - Kevinson an actual bladed scythe, Damon a microgun named "Scythe". And finally, both have relationships with Samidare - Kevinson with the mother, Damon with the daughter.

* RealityEnsues: has to bring Kongou's ideals back down to earth in chapter 61 upon salvaging her [[LethalChef terribly made curry]] by telling her that emotions and thoughts do little to making food if she has no idea how to properly cook it.

* RealityEnsues: has to tell the ship girls during the first visit to Chicago that trying to have the rich give the poor money to help them is not the proper way to enrich the poor.

** the songs she's seen singing in the story are [[spoiler:VideoGame/{{Touhou}} doujin songs. Considering the stealth prequel, this makes...[[MythologyGag not a lot of sense.]]]]

* MythologyGag: she references characters from the VideoGame/{{Touhou}} series, a nod to the [[StealthSequel stealth prequel]].

* {{Shoutout}}: [[spoiler:his "meteor strike" attacks are one to Takamichi T. Takahata's hand iaijutsu techniques from Manga/MahouSenseiNegima. Even the initial battle scene between him and Damon, in which he uses these techniques for the first time, mimics the battle scene seen in the manga during the school martial arts tournament in chapter 98 between Negi and Takahata very closely.]]

* AnArmAndALeg: on his right hand, along his pinky finger, letters are etched on it that spell "LUKENSTOR DEFENSE SYSTEMS". Coupled with the knowledge that in Fanfic/AmbiencePlatoonMoebiusFour, Kevinson lost his right arm and both legs in the Abyssal surprise attack at the end of the story, it can be implied that in this story, too, Kevinson is a triple amputee whose limbs have been replaced by cybernetic ones.

* WeaponOfChoice: the [[http://www.jtactical.com/rogue MK-14 Rogue Chassis designated marksman rifle]] and the [[https://us.glock.com/products/model/g37 Glock 37 .45 GAP pistol.]] He only uses other weapons if the mission at hand compels him to do so, and he faithfully uses these two weapons [[spoiler:up until his death at Little Rock.]] The karambit curved knife also counts, as he uses one in conjunction with the previously stated weapons. While he does lose it for a time, he gets another one back in chapter 239.

* MagicalEye: it's the exact same as Losira's Hellflower, which raises a very big question.

As per Administrivia/HandlingSpoilers, no trope names will be spoiler-marked. In addition, the very presence of certain names on this list may constitute spoilers by itself. YouHaveBeenWarned!

* SuperSoldier: subverted. The Genesis Thesis Project intended to create a new subspecies of humans born with a natural resistance to radiation, not necessarily super soldiers explicitly, though Damon does conveniently gain a level of strength considerably greater than a standard human being. [[spoiler:Beginning with chapter 241 and the awakening of his Yellow Reality Cancel, it's more and more likely that Damon may possibly truly be this, and then came speculation in chapter 426 about the true intention of the project: To create a a human subspecies with the ''power to control ship girls''.]]

** Eagle Clinton manages to get his hands on Blackwood's personal notes [[spoiler:after succeeding him as [=POTUS=], and they seem to indicate the former.]]

** Of the Genesis Thesis Project that he was subjected to as an infant.

[[spoiler:Beginning with chapter 241 and the awakening of his Yellow Reality Cancel, it's more and more likely that Damon may possibly truly be this.]]

* MineralMacGuffin: [[spoiler:her right hand contains a red jewel embedded in the back of the hand, and in chapter 346, she appears to draw on the jewel's power to mind-control the former Prime Minister to seize control of the Kremlin.]]

!Eagle Clinton

The CEO of Lukenstor, the largest aerospace corporation in the Americas.

* TheChessmaster: He plans to [[spoiler:overthrow Blackwood]], and eventually succeeds, and he has fingers in many, many pies.
* {{Expy}}: of Eagle Douglas from "Daiteikoku".
* MustHaveCoffee: seems to be quite a big fan of coffee, as the recent chapters are frequently depicting him drinking it. Given that the times at which he's depicted being up, along with his inevitably heavy workload as the new President trying to manage both the clean-up of the country and juggling international alliances with other countries abroad, [[FridgeLogic this might be justified.]]
