* ZettaiRyouiki: On one leg.

* ZettaiRyouiki: The boots version. Grade A.

* TheSouthpaw: He's the only character that fights in a southpaw stance.

* TheBadGuyWins:[[spoiler: Subverted. It seems like he overcame both Jack and Leo in the end, but that turned out to just be a fantasy he was having as Jack bisects him.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Though as it turns out, he's not evil so much as he's dangerously unstable. He's more like TheHeavy: his actions drive the plot, but he's not the main antagonist.]]

* LargeAndInCharge: He's built like a [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Space Marine]], and he used to be Nikolai's, Leo's, and Sasha's officer.

%%* KiManipulation

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth

** AttackDrone: Max's version of Tesla Blitz detaches from his shoulders before shocking enemies.

* BountyHunter: Has the same job that Jack has. The Blacker Baron just kills his marks instead of bringing them to trial.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Max_Anarchy_5128.png]]

* BadassDecay: An In-Universe example, Max has fallen a long way from his days as a BPS agent. He is still an incredibly dangerous individual seeing as during the Campaign mode he fights Leo, Sasha, and Nicolai at the same time, only to escape and fight Jack, Baron, and Matilda supposedly a short time after. [[spoiler:It is only near the end of the story mode that his mental and physical state have deteriorated enough for one of the protagonists to defeat him one on one.]]

* LargeAndInCharge: He's built like a [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Space Marine]], and he used to be Nikolai's, Leo's, and Sasha's officer.

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry

* GoldTooth: In ''Videogame/MadWorld'', the Black Baron's presumably gold (the game is in black and white) teeth spell out "DEATHWATCH". By the time this is first noticed, they are soon to be punched out of his mouth [[spoiler:if you do well enough in the boss battle]]. In ''Anarchy Reigns'', his teeth now say "Fuck You!".

* AwesomeMcCoolname: 'Leonhardt' as in "lionheart" to imply bravery and 'Victorion' as in...well, victory.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Blacker_Baron_7050.png]]

%%The majority of characters will be OriginalGeneration, and the ones that are from Madworld are specified as such. We don't need to add that.

%% Trope names should never be covered by spoilers

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jack_Cayman_Anarchy_6802.png]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Big_Bull_574.png]]

Four years ago, Big Bull suffered a debilitating injury, and elected to have his brain transplanted into a cybernetic behemoth. Despite complete mechanization, Bull remains fully juiced with [[TestosteronePoisoning testosterone]]... and always ready to settle a dispute with his hooves.

* [[spoiler:[[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Daughter]]: Towards Max, even though he's been hired by Jeannie to save him.]]

* [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy Pretty Fly For A White Gal]]: She speaks just like the Blacker Baron (i.e. ebonics) whenever she does speak.

* [[{{Buttmonkey}} Butt Bull]]: In Nikolai's trailer, the lights go off while he's reading, and Big Bull moves in for the kill, GlowingEyesOfDoom and all! Cue a grab from the BadassBookworm and Nikolai resumes his reading while Big Bull acts as his involuntary light bulb.
* CaptainErsatz: To anybody who's played ''Videogame/MadWorld'', Big Bull will easily recall [[MiniBoss "Big Bull" Crocker]] from that game. Whether this means Bull is a LegacyCharacter, SequelReset, or IdenticalStranger like the others, is unknown.

* {{Cyborg}}: That knows martial arts, no less. Seeing a giant bull robot doing Baijiquan is a odd spectacle.

* [[LargeHam Large Beef]]: When he gets excited. Which happens a lot in the midst of a fight.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_rj5hc3Mwk Over In A Flash]], a suitably tough song for the Bull. Worth noting that it mentions a nobody coming back to kick ass (fitting for a former mid-boss graduating to boss/player character), and is performed by Sick YG, another artist returning from ''Videogame/MadWorld's'' soundtrack.

* MightyGlacier: As one of the "heavy" characters, he's slower, can't combo as well as smaller characters, can grab two enemies at once, and every hit he dishes out deals more damage than those smaller than him. And his Killer Weapon is seriously effective at hitting a crowd of enemies, be they player or {{Mook}}.

* ThisIsADrill [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Below the Shoulder]]: Kills {{Giant Mook}}s with a drill from his right arm. A ''Videogame/MadWorld'' Homage to be sure.

** [[spoiler:And the final boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEmWfkFEVLU Find You]], as well, with lyrics that serve as an indeibtment of the system Nikolai supports.]]

* AnimalMotifs: Tigers.

* [[ElectronicEyes Electronic Right Eye]]
* JackOfAllStats

** [[RevolversAreJustBetter Revolver Cannons Are Just Better]]

* {{Expy}}: If you look closely, you can see similarities with ''Madworld'' boss Baron Von Twirlenkiller.

** [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Drill Below The Shoulder]]

* AnimalMotifs: His name and mask evoke pigs, but he transforms into a lizard-man. Go figure.

* {{Expy}}: On that note, outside of a different Animal Motif and the whole "Juice" thing, he has a ''lot'' in common with Yee Fung from ''Videogame/MadWorld'', from his rotundity to his agile fighting style to his comically high voice.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed. He used to be a legitimate scientist, but is now a Cybrid Arts black marketer.

* LightningBruiser: Uniquely, Oinkie is the only character that can dash while having his killer weapon active.

* [[DiagonalCut Vertical Cut]]: He [[FinishingMove finishes]] [[GiantMook Giant Mooks]] by karate chopping them in half. It's a [[JustforPun perfect Pork Chop]].

* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Assassin]]: She has a dragon on one of her legs, while her sisters have theirs on other parts of their bodies.

* [[GogglesDoNothing Headphones Do Nothing]]

* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Assassin]]: With a dragon on her arm.

** [[LaserBlade Laser]] BladeOnAStick

* [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Chinese]]

* [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Womanchild]]: She is just ''giddy'' at the chance to rip Leo apart.

* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Assassin]]: Noticeably across her back.

** [[LaserBlade Laser Blades]]

* [[MrExposition Miss Exposition]]

* AnimalMotifs: Crocodiles[=/=]Alligators. Jack's chainsaw weapon is called the Gator Tooth and Leo's boss battle against Jack is called "the Wiley Crocodile".
** MeaningfulName: Cayman alludes to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiman caiman]], a subspecies of alligator.

* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: To his credit, Zero's English is near perfect, but he still has shades of this in his speech...
** JapaneseRanguage: such as the old L=R issue, or making less of an R sound on syllables where there would be.

* JackOfAllStats

* WeaponOfChoice: '''ONIMARU & JYUZUMARU''': ''A ninja's best friends''.
** [[EmpathicWeapon Empathic Weapons]]: Zero [[InformedAbility claims]] that "Demons live within these blades!"
** [[InstantRunes Instant Kanji]]
** KatanasAreJustBetter
** PoisonedWeapons: Leveled up, those katanas inflict a poison status on victims that slowly (albeit briefly) drains their health.
** StockNinjaWeaponry: Two swords and multiple kunai.
** YinYangBomb: Light and Dark energy radiates from his swords when in use.

* AnIcePerson

* MsFanservice

** AttackDrone
** KillItWithIce
** {{Nanomachines}}: The source of her ice powers, equipped in her suit.
** ThisIsADrill: Her aerial Killer Weapon attack resembles some horrid amalgamation of a drill and a blender. [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Aimed right at the victim's chest]].

* BadassBookworm

* {{Cyborg}}

* FinalBoss

* JackOfAllStats

* PsychoElectro
* TheBadGuyWins:[[spoiler: Averted.]]
* TheStoic

* [[VerbalTic Verbal Tic, da?]]
* WeaponOfChoice: '''[[spoiler:SUPER]] TESLA BLITZ''': ''Get shocked in this battle of the currents!''
** ArtificialLimbs: Both of his arms. [[spoiler:Later his legs, too.]]
** [[spoiler:BeehiveBarrier]]
** [[spoiler:LaserBlade / FrickinLaserBeams]]
** [[spoiler:PowerFloats]]
** ShockAndAwe

* {{Acrofatic}}

* LargeHam

** PoisonedWeapons: When Oinkie is leveled up, the Juice has these effects on victims.
** ScaledUp: Briefly becomes one of the Mutants while the Juice is flowing.
** SuperSerum: With a neat spine-centered injection device.

!![[spoiler:Gargoyle]]

-->[[spoiler:'''"ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH ROBOT TO JOIN THE GARGOYLES?"''']]

[[spoiler:Gargoyles are anti-mutant robots mass-produced by the drone army. Equipped with a full complement of shoulder-mounted missiles, light yet strong composite plating rated to withstand mutant attack, and the ability to transform between humanoid, hovercraft, and flight modes, their cost per unit is incredibly high.]]

[[spoiler:The go-to weapons for a Gargoyle are its Plasma Arms, weapons which compresses plasma into a sphere for high-impact blows. These spheres can also be further charged, then launched a distance of several meters.]]

* spoiler:Leitmotif: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXYvrnS96Y "We All Soldiers"]], detailing [[spoiler:Gargoyle]]'s simple mindset: kick ass, take names, follow orders.
* MechaMook

* NotQuiteFlight: [[spoiler:Only when playable, same as Garuda.]]
* spoiler:PaletteSwap: [[spoiler:There's more differences than just color, but otherwise Garuda is of the same model as the Gargoyles. You could probably count Garuda as an AceCustom Gargoyle.]]
* TransformingMecha: [[spoiler:Same as Garuda, but again the Gargoyles' jet forms look different.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: [[spoiler:Plasma Arms.]]
** RayGun[=/=]EnergyBall: [[spoiler:The biggest difference between the Gargoyles and Garuda, weapon-wise; the Gargoyles can launch projectiles from their weapons, Garuda can't.]]
** [[spoiler:ShockAndAwe: Electrocutes enemies when leveled up.]]

--> "Looks like gator bait!"

--> "Justice!"

--> "We don't get ridiculed, we get rid of fools!"

--> "Uhuh! Ahahahaha!"

--> "I was BORN horny!"

--> "Kirisute-gomen!"

--> "What is corruption? It is envy of loser for winner, this is all."

--> "I have the powers of a god!"

--> "[[TheVoiceless ...]]"

--> "All this fighting makes me hot!"

--> "You want to touch me? Come on!"

--> "Me? You want me?"

--> "Let's fight!"

--> "My foot, your ass!"

--> "Imposing your will... is a matter of strength."

--> "''Bad'' boy..."

** Further referencing his appearance in ''Videogame/MadWorld'', during the cutscene that follows Jack's first fight with Max (which already has a pretty heavy reference to ''Videogame/MadWorld''), the Baron [[spoiler:stops Jack from killing Max]], threatening to get serious. When he does, his hat and glasses come off, and his eyes are glowing. Anyone who's played ''Videogame/MadWorld'' likely heard [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome ''So Cold'']] cue up in their minds...

* [[spoiler:DirtyCop: His idea of "justice" is basically [[MightMakesRight using his position of power to make the rules]].]]
* [[spoiler:DrunkWithPower]]

* [[spoiler:FinalBoss]]

* [[spoiler:HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Courtesy of a finishing blow from Jack. And from the way the characters are talking about him afterwards, he's apparently ''still alive''.]]

* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins: Averted.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: In the third story mission in White Side. Ouch.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: He and Durga die together in the third story mission from White Side.]]

* [[spoiler:FallenHero: He was disgraced after a botched rescue attempt led to the death of the six-year-old Stela, eventually turning towards drinking and drugs.]]

* [[spoiler:ICannotSelfTerminate: If the player plays through White Side first, when Leo fights Max in Stage 4, Max is rapidly alternating between begging Leo to kill him, and trying to kill Leo himself.]]

* [[spoiler:MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He's confronted in chapter four weeping over a drone he had demolished, rambling about him being a sacrifice to some case because everyone wanted a suspect.]]
* [[spoiler:MyGreatestFailure: His personal guilt and the public scandal that arose from his accidental killing of Stela marked the beginning of the end for his normal life, eventually turning him into what he is in the game. He notes at one point that he wasn't the one who actually killed her, but they were still under his command.]]

* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsLife]]

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: One minute he's a polite, yet depressed man who is quite sociable, the next he's a pissed-off, sociopathic murderer. This is a side effect of the drugs he took for his PTSD.]]

* [[spoiler:CyberCyclops]]
* [[spoiler:MacrossMissileMassacre]]: Used when executing mutant enemies.
* [[spoiler:Leitmotif]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXYvrnS96Y "We All Soldiers"]], detailing [[spoiler:Gargoyle]]'s simple mindset: kick ass, take names, follow orders.
* [[spoiler:MechaMook]]
%% * [[spoiler:MightyGlacier]]

* [[spoiler:PaletteSwap]]: [[spoiler:There's more differences than just color, but otherwise Garuda is of the same model as the Gargoyles. You could probably count Garuda as an AceCustom Gargoyle.]]
* [[spoiler:TransformingMecha]]: [[spoiler:Same as Garuda, but again the Gargoyles' jet forms look different.]]

* [[spoiler:DeadToBeginWith]]
* [[spoiler:SacrificialLamb]]
* [[spoiler:TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth]]

* WeaponOfChoice: '''WICKED WEAVE''': ''[[CallBack She's a f]]''♥♥♥''[[CallBack ing celebrity in this town, too.]]''

** Meaningful Name: Cayman alludes to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caiman caiman]], a subspecies of alligator.

* BadassGrandpa: His stats say he's ''180(?)''. They don't even ''know'' how old he is, only that he's still kicking ass.

* {{Cyborg}}

* OldSoldier: Played up. Even his cybernetics look archaic.

* BruceLeeClone: Another rare [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} female example]]. Her default color scheme looks exactly like Creator/BruceLee's [[GameOfDeath tracksuit]].

* AnimalMotifs: Lions.

** ArtificialLimbs: All four of them.
** [[LaserBlade Laser Blades]]
** ShockAndAwe: Leveled up, Leo's blades electrocute his victims.
** WolverineClaws: Positron blades from his fingertips.

* BadassLongcoat
* [[BareFistedMonk Bare Fisted Pimp]]

* BerserkButton: Questioning the Baron's manhood. Amala [[GuileHero uses it to her advantage, though.]]

* {{Cyborg}}

* FurAndLoathing

* LargeHam

* MoralityPet: ''Don't touch Mathilda''.

* PimpDuds
* PluckyComicRelief
* RapidFireFisticuffs: All characters have it in Rampage, but special mention to Baron for having it as his 360 attack, complete with the multi-arm illusion.

* SleevesAreForWimps

** AnimalMotifs: Eagles. [[IncendiaryExponent On fire]]. Although an early concept was Lions.
** BoxingBattler: Punches and grapples only.
** KillItWithFire
** TrickedOutGloves: They have a similar structure to boxing gloves (no individual fingers). We can't forget the gold, naturally.
** YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Got the gloves from a [[NoodleIncident "pyromaniac sex freak"]] he and Jack worked together to kill.

* AnimalMotifs: When not using the '''IRON MAIDEN''', it flops around like a cat's tail.

%%* CombatStilettos
%%* CoolShades
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindows

* PurpleIsPowerful: Has a more brutal fighting style than the other "light" characters, and she has one of the more powerful Killer Weapons on the roster.

** CarryABigStick[=/=]WhipSword: The official site claims it's a whip that can transform into a club. Its default form is a belt that hangs from her waist.
** Played straight in her mutant finisher, where it becomes a full-on WhipSword.
** ImpossiblyCoolWeapon
** MorphWeapon
** ShockAndAwe: Adds more sadistic fun with electrocution when Mathilda is leveled up.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

* AnimalMotifs: Guess.
* AFatherToHisMen: Makes a point of looking out for his own. This includes Jack (to the latter's chagrin).
* BadassBaritone
* BoisterousBruiser

* ALoadOfBull

* PungeonMaster: Yeeaaaah.
* TheBerserker: Shown to fight vigorously and nonstop when excited, a bull's spirit in him, until he becomes completely incapacitated.
* TheCavalry: Shows an example of this multiple times on the Black Side of the campaign, helping Jack twice even when far from his home town, alongside Rin Rin.

** DropTheHammer: Although when not in use, the head is actually Big Bull's...
** JetPack: Which is used to propel him forward rather than fly though the air.
** PlayingWithFire: Leveled up, his hammer ignites enemies.
** RocketPoweredWeapon

* DiagonalCut: Finishes the big mooks in such a way, [[YouAreAlreadyDead once you hear the click.]]
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: His last appearance in story mode seems to be this.
-->''Zero'': I am ashamed...
-->''Jack'': No, you're just a douchebag.

* {{Ninja}}: Should be pretty obvious.
** CyberNinja

* PeekABangs: Hard to tell, but they're there.

** DualWielding
