History Characters / ArcanumOfSteamworksAndMagickObscura

** [[spoiler: TheUnchosenOne]]: [[spoiler: As Pelojian points out, it doesn't actually matter whether you're TheChosenOne or not; you've taken on the role.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: The purging of Stillwater for the evil-aligned PC.

* ActualPacifist: One of the hardest [[SelfImposedChallenge self-imposed challenges]] the game has to offer, but definitely possible. There's enough ways to incapacitate enemies without maiming or killing them for the protagonist to be played as such.

* TheArcher

* [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Most Definitively A True Dwarf]]

"The world's smartest orc", who lives in a museum, amusing people with his kindergarten-level intelligence. [[spoiler: In fact, Garfield Thellonius Remington the Third, intelligent, educated, well-mannered pureblood human who was born with the appearance of pure orc due to some genetic quirk. If you are eloquent enough, you may pull him into a discussion about tea, thus uncovering him, and then he may join.]]

* GeniusBruiser: By orcish standards. [[spoiler:Somewhat above-average by human standards.]]

* SpotOfTea

* [[MostDefinitivelyNotAVillain Most Definitively A True Dwarf]]

* {{Immortality}}: A mix between Type II, V and VI.

* [[spoiler:TheMole]]

* [[spoiler: IfItsYouItsOkay: Ability of PC to seduce her depends on their race, stats and actions... but not gender.]]

* [[spoiler:BigGood]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Bangellian Scourge is too evil even for Pete, and he found the will to throw it and run away [[spoiler: after he killed all his crew under control of a blade]]

* ForTheEvulz

* ActionGirl: If female
* BadassNormal: If one hasn't made any investment in magic or the technological skills that opens up possibilities for making stuff. A persuasion-based hero often has to be one by necessity (it's basically impossible to allocate any meaningful points to either discipline if you want to be able to defend yourself).

* ScienceHero: Possibly

* StaffChick

* BigBadassWolf: Not a wolf, but still a large canine.

!!Magnus Shalefist

* DoNotCallMePaul: There are hints that Magnus' real name is Malcolm Shulfest, but he will rather cut his beard than admit it.

* SelfMadeMan: Actually not so much, as his invention was an improvement on an already-existing dwarven engine, though most people don't know that. He feels a bit guilty about this.

* BerserkButton: "''NEVER'' ask a Dwarf the name of his Clan!"

An ancient warrior from Kree, who lived somewhen at the Age of Legends, but was raised from the dead a millenium later as part of Derian-Ka's Gray Legions to fight [[spoiler: The Molochean Hand who rebelled against the order after learning about the horrible deeds of Kerghan, its founder.]] After their defeat, Torian was among a few survivng Legionaires who returned to the temple of Dearian-Ka. They stayed there for centuries, and eventually their flesh rotted away, reducing them to crumpling sceletons and later to dust...

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Doc Roberts' character is based on Wyatt Earp (whose portrait he shares) and Doc Holliday.

* CompleteMonster: This is also an option. To complete the evil story path one has to murder absolutely everyone in a small village at one point.

* GameBreaker

* CompleteMonster: Bane slaughtered an entire city for nothing and will repeat it over and over if given an opportunity. Numerous innocents were burned alive in the flames his sword was forged in - just to make it more evil.

The captain of the guard of Dernholm, a close confidant of the king of Cumbria, and the mastery trainer for the Melee skill. On the surface, he is an arrogant, elitist snob, but he does his job of keeping the peace well. [[spoiler:In reality, however, he's a [[CompleteMonster depraved psychopath]] who uses his position to stalk a noblewoman and remove her fiancee from the equation...by any means necessary.]]

* [[spoiler:CompleteMonster]]

* [[spoiler:MoralEventHorizon: He became captain of the guard purely so he could stalk a noblewoman, and when he found out she was already engaged, he rendered the fiancee blind in what was promised to be a fair duel, then arranged for the fiancee to become trapped in a cave full of monsters solely so he could save her (or have the player save her on his behalf).]]

* BadassNormal: If one hasn't made any investment in magic or the technological skills that opens up possibilities for making stuff.

* CutsceneIncompetence: When you first see this lightning fast killing machine, he has been kicked unconscious by a weak civilian with absolutely no combat skills.

* WeakButSkilled: Though game describes him as quite a powerful man, gameplay-wise he is too weak to use his BFG poperly... but then he proves surprisingly effective with it.

* [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist: At the end, he will join Kerghan regardless of PC's choise, as only Kerghan can "free" his undead friends.]]

* BadAss: He manages to take out two Molochean Hand assassins ''by himself''.
