History Characters / ArknightsReunionMovement

* CharacterDevelopment: By "The Whirlwind That Is Passion", [[spoiler:Talulah's experiences being possessed by Kashchey and being encouraged to do unspeakable atrocities to fulfill his agenda that WarIsGlorious solidifies her earlier idealistic beliefs under a lens of realism, as such, where she probably would have foolishly supported Eblana and Dublinn's efforts upon arriving in Victoria, Talulah now having gone a HeelFaceTurn after being pulled back from her DespairEventHorizon sees Eblana for what she really is: [[VisionaryVillain a tyrant posing as a freedom fighter]], and thus refuses to have anything to do with her and swears to oppose her if her plans of conquest cross her and the Infected's path.]]

A Sarkaz warrior and one of Big Bob's close comrades, who also defected from Reunion to lead his own regiment of Sarkaz troops. While they appear briefly in "Grani and the Knight's Treasure", they serve a more major role as the final boss of the Twilight of Wolumonde event.[[labelnote:Click here to see spoilers]]For tropes related to [[GenderReveal her]] playable version, see ''Characters/ArknightsDefenders''.[[/labelnote]]

One of Reunion's earliest members, the teacher of early-days Reunion, and Talulah's close companion. See her entry in [[Characters/ArknightsNations Nation States Empire of Ursus]].

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Though it's also treated as the horrifying act of violence it is, [[spoiler: the villagers she massacred in Chapter 8 had unrepentantly murdered a group of Infected by locking them up in the granary until they slowly starved to death. Talulah herself notes that they could have chased them away or even attacked them directly, but instead chose the cruelest way possible to dispose of them. Even though one of the villagers states the Infected were armed and dangerous, the fact that the doors of the granary only show bloody handprints as they desperately tried to claw their way out casts significant doubt on this claim.]]

* NotHelpingYourCase: Amiya's speech in Episode 7 explains why Rhodes Island fights Reunion despite both sharing the common goal of improving the lives of the Infected: if war breaks out between Ursus and Yen, then Reunion (and by extension, the Infected) would be scapegoated for starting the war. If society sees the Infected as warmongers, '''''no one''''' would be willing to help them out. [[spoiler:[[JustifiedTrope Turns out]], [[FalseFlagReunion that's the point of Reunion all along]] due to Kaschey and Theresis's machinations to have the Reunion crisis and the resulting outrage to the scapegoating of the Infected to fulfill their own [[WarIsGlorious respective]] [[TakeOverTheWorld agendas]].]]

* ThoseWhoFightMonsters: Reunion was established apparently as a well-meaning social movement to liberate and lobby for the fair treatment of Oripathy infectees. At some point, their activity stopped being peaceful and their methods became much more radical, up to and including full-blown violent riots, public sabotage, and terrorism. At the time of the game's setting, blowing up huge cities populated by millions is [[ButForMeItWasTuesday apparently routine behaviour for them]].

* PeekABangs: Her left eye is covered by her hair.

** [[spoiler:[[TraumaCongaLine Happens again]] duing IL Siracusano, where Projekt Red ruthlessly killed her teacher who was like an adoptive parent to her in the interim after leaving old Reunion for being a "[[InsistentTerminology wolf]]", implicitly revealing her teacher to be one of the "Fangs" of the Signore dei Lupi, then leaving Crownslayer to wallow in her powerlessness as she is BeneathNotice to Projekt Red due to not being a Fang.

Ironically, it's implied that given Projekt Red's obedience to Kal'tsit, this time it really ''is'' her fault by potentially having been given the order by Kal'tsit to kill Crownslayer's teacher for being a potential threat.]]

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapon, which he uses to lethal effect.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His weapon of choice being a [[BladeOnAStick halberd]], his reputation as [[RankScalesWithAsskicking one of the top fighters in Reunion's inner-circle]] (''especially'' backed up by his being a DamageSpongeBoss), and the betrayals he'd committed in his life all bring to mind [[UsefulNotes/LuBu Lü Bu]]; if a more honorable and competent version of the Three Kingdoms era general.

** Brutally [[AvertedTrope Averted]] come ''Integrated Strategies 3'', where the "Overseas Export" encounter casually mentions that Big Bob was arrested by the Columbian Tax Bureau and is currently rotting in prison.

[[folder:Shared Tropes]]

The primary antagonist faction of ''Arknights'', Reunion is a movement and organization dedicated to the liberation and fair treatment of individuals with Oripathy infection. Oripathy infectees have, since the beginning of the Catastrophies and the advent of the era of Originium, been shunned and ostracized (particularly once symptoms can no longer be concealed) for fear of being contagious and due to longstanding lack of knowledge about Oripathy. \\\

Reunion is dedicated to ending this cycle of oppression... but the movement's new leadership seemingly has very little interest in peaceful protest or reconciliation (or even activism, as the game opens), and have increasingly taken to brazen terrorism and assault to further their goals. As the game opens, Reunion is engaged in the destruction of the nomadic city of Chernobog and becomes embroiled in a conflict with Rhodes Island... the conflict that you, Doctor, must help steer Rhodes through.

* BonusBoss: Crownslayer appears in a significant amount of side materials and events outside of the main story, including: The second Vanguard/Supporter chip operation, Inferno stage H5-3, Contingency Contract #1 - Operation Pyrite, the "Unequal Split" stage in the second season of Integrated Stategies, and the Chernobog stage of the Annihilation game mode.

'''Voiced by:''' Risae Matsuda (Japanese, anime)

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His weapon of choice being a [[BladeOnAStick halberd]], his reputation as [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking one of the top fighters in Reunion's inner-circle]] (''especially'' backed up by his being a DamageSpongeBoss), and the betrayals he'd committed in his life all bring to mind [[UsefulNotes/LuBu Lü Bu]]; if a more honorable and competent version of the Three Kingdoms era general.

* UnskilledButStrong: Only relative to the other Boss characters. Patriot's skillset is relatively plain, with an [=AoE=] damage aura and spear throw in his second phase, plus the Inspire buff he grants to his soldiers. Compare this to [=FrostNova's=] instakill attacks, Talulah's fireball barrage, Pursuer's Dominion, and other esoteric magics. What he does have though, is ''extreme'' stats, with S rating in 3 categories, that [[https://youtu.be/t8EP8dOAVlg he's the only character who can go one-on-one against Redblade,]] and ''win.''
