History Characters / ArknightsRhodesIsland

* BrokenAce: For all the skills and knowledge they possess, pre-amnesia Doctor is haunted by the fact that [[spoiler: they are the LastOfHisKind, and torn by the dilemma between continuing the precursor's plan and curing Oripathy. Leading to the unfortunate tragedy that ended Babel Tower and the attempted suicide by guilt. Worse, it is hinted that pre-amnesia Doctor was betrayed and suffered a mild case of MindRape by their own kind to prevent them from disobedience. In fact, Doctor's amnesia actually saved them from the alleged manipulation, and the Oracle's personality is resurfaced]]

!!The Doctor

* UniqueProtagonistAsset: Other than tactical acumen, the Doctor's special asset seems to be their blood, given Lancet-2's comment on it and Warfarin's extreme attraction to it. [[spoiler:In Episode 8, Kal'tsit uses the Doctor's blood to create a medicine for Amiya after she collapses.]]

* AwfulTruth: "Babel" reveals that [[spoiler:pre-amnesia Doctor knew that Originium was deliberately seeded on Terra by their fellow precursors, who are not native to the planet. The reason the precursors did this was because to use Oripathy force the evolution of Terra's native life into a form that could assimilate Originium and cause them to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence. This is a secret that not even ''Kal'tsit'' knew, and ran completely counter to Babel's stated goals of curing Oripathy, leaving the Doctor conflicted about whether to follow Theresa or stick to the original plan their fellow precursors set]].

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Was a ruthless commander caring less if not nothing of their own subordinates' lives in the face of victory. After losing their memory, the Doctor has shown a great deal of care for their operators.

->'''Race:''' Sarkaz\\
'''Artist:''' [=Cenm0=]
A quiet, fearsome Sarkaz woman who has served Rhodes Island since its Babel days. A former mercenary who assisted Theresis, she had also been W's old boss.
----
* TheAtoner: Twofold. First, she used to serve Theresis's Military Commission as a mercenary, until she eventually grew disgusted and defected from his command [[HeelFaceTurn to side with Babel]]. Then, afterwards, she regrets not being at Theresa's side during the siege that cost her life, making an oath to Kal'tsit to help form S.W.E.E.P. to ensure nothing like it ever happens again, which is presumably why she has such [[CoolBigSis a close but defensive relationship]] with Amiya, [[spoiler:Theresa's successor to the throne]].
* CoolBigSis: To younger Amiya back in Babel.
* DefectorFromDecadence: She not only used to be Theresis' subordinate, but was also one of his students and learned much of her abilities directly from him. However, she eventually couldn't tolerate his inhumane methods and defected to Babel instead.
* TheDreaded:
** Her attitude is intimidating enough to keep ''W'' of all people on her toes throughout their conversation despite no longer being W's direct superior. [[spoiler:This may be because she's watching over W's movements in Victoria, and will put her in line with tough discipline if necessary.]] She's also responsible for detaining criminals in Babel/Rhodes Island's custody. It's no wonder she's the leader of S.W.E.E.P.
-->W knows of this habit, in Ascalon's line of work. The rule is, each extra word makes your head hit the ground a little bit faster.
** In Episode 10, [[spoiler:her mere appearance is enough to intimidate both W and Hoederer and make them stop fighting ''immmediately''. Hoederer even acknowledges she can and will easily kill both of them if she wanted to.]]
** She is also this among the Military Commission, as she's powerful enough to be a legitimate threat to most of them. In fact, [[spoiler:The Sanguinarch, who's ''[[MightMakesRight colossal ego]]'' wouldn't dare acknowledge a lesser being with an iota of his attention ([[BeneathNotice as he does with W in the very same scene]]), instead gives Ascalon's presence a passing mention when she stands to oppose him alongside Logos which further compounds this fearsome reputation.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: She speaks with W [[MyNameIsQuestionMarks as ???]] in Vigilo before her proper introduction in Episode 10.
* TheExecutioner: If Marco's reaction is anything to go by, her profession is heavily implied to be this to Babel.
-->'''Theresa:''' So, Scout, take him to see Ascalon.\\
'''Theresa:''' Babel will decide your fate. Ascalon will decide your fate.\\
'''Theresa:''' That you consider yourself a Sarkaz of Kazdel means you cannot leave.\\
'''Sarkaz Traitor:''' --Your Majesty! You, you're putting me to death--?\\
'''Theresa:''' ......
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: That said, from what we see of her relationship as W's boss and [[CoolBigSis her involvement with Amiya]], she's surprisingly laidback in conversation for someone considered [[TheDreaded so fearsome]], [[spoiler:and even indirectly lets slip to W that Ines is alive and operating within Victoria to keep tabs on Theresis as so to encourage W to not only aid Rhodes Island on the mission to Londinium, but reunite with her original group and make a plan of action from there to stop Theresis's own plans]].
* UnseenNoMore: Her NPC art debuts in Episode 10.
* TheVoice: In "Valorem" (Scout's side story in Vigilo), she speaks with W but has no art.

[[folder:Guard]]
!!Guard
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avg_npc_059.png]]
->'''Race:''' [[spoiler:Feline]]\\
'''Affiliation:''' Ace Squad\\
'''Artists:''' 唯@W, 伍秋秋秋秋\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiKobayashi (Japanese, anime)
A guard who participated in the Chernobog operation.

* AscendedExtra: In the Prologue and Episode 1, his unimpressive codename and standard Rhodes Island uniform give the impression that he only has NominalImportance. Episodes 7 and 8 show him becoming more significant (with new art to match), to the point of [[spoiler:him becoming virtually the vice leader of a reformed Reunion as of Episode 9]].
* TheBusCameBack: In Episode 9, [[spoiler:he takes part in Nine's operation to break Talulah out of Rhodes Island custody]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Anonymous Ones' War" is his side story in Operational Intelligence, where he overhears Patriot and Hellagur's conversation about the ideological fight of the Infected.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His codename is literally "Guard". Good luck trying to search info of him without stumbling upon general stuff about the Guard class.
* TheFaceless: His face is hidden even in his unique art. [[spoiler:His face is finally shown in "The Whirlwind That Is Passion", showing he's a scarred yet rather handsome Feline.]]
* TheHeart: He appears to serve as this for [[spoiler:the reformed Reunion, making sure they prioritize helping the Infected over retaliating with violence. Therefore, many members of the new Reunion favorably compare him to Patriot]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Guard ends up dying by "The Whirlwind That Is Passion", following the example of Ace and the rest of their squad, due to staying behind to rescue as many Infected and innocents alike as possible from a exploding building shortly after Reunion arrives into Londinium before it collapses down on top of him.]]
* HeroWorshipper: His main reason for [[spoiler:staying in Reunion is that he has come to admire Patriot's ideal as the Aegis of the Infected, thinking that his cause is even better than Rhodes Island's. Even if Guard himself doesn't like Reunion as a whole, he believes that as long as Patriot is alive, the cause he supports is a worthy one. When the news of Patriot's death reaches him, Guard exclaims that Reunion is dead along with Patriot, and Talulah killed him]].
* IChooseToStay: At first, he decides to [[spoiler:not regroup with Rhodes Island during the Chernobog Incident in an effort to gain more intel from inside Reunion. However, his time with Patriot's Shieldguards [[BecomingTheMask turns him into someone far more dedicated to Reunion's true ideal than Rhodes Island's]]. When he's found by Rhodes Island, he admits to staying with Reunion because he feels he can help the Infected better now than as part of Rhodes. Kal'tsit ultimately "fires" him to free him from his obligation to Rhodes Island]].
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Guard ends up dying in Chapter 13, "The Whirlwind That Is Passion", shortly upon Reunion's arrival into Londinium as the escalating conflict catches numerous Infected and non-Infected civilians in danger of the crossfire, resulting in him [[HeroicSacrifice giving up his life to safely escort many noncombatants from a collapsing building on fire]].]]
* NumberTwo: [[spoiler:As of Episode 9, he essentially becomes the de facto second-in-command of the reformed Reunion.]]
* PutOnABus: By the end of Episode 8, [[spoiler:his last scene is him restructuring Reunion after the Chernobog-Lungmen Crisis is over]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When he tries to evacuate the Infected that are still hiding in Chernobog, knowing that [[spoiler:the city will crash into Lungmen should Rhodes Island fail to defeat Talulah]], he gets caught by a Sarkaz mercenary loyal to Talulah. He spends his time [[DefiantToTheEnd being held by his neck]] singing praises to Patriot, and calls the mercenaries "maggots dancing on the strings of the disgusting schemers running this show".
* TheRestShallPass: The post-battle scene of 1-12 shows that [[spoiler:he joins his team leader Ace in delaying Talulah so that Rhodes Island can escape with the Doctor. "Operational Intelligence" reveals that Guard survives because Ace and Scout gave their lives to keep him safe]].
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:He becomes the only survivor of Ace's squad (out of fourteen, including Ace).]] [[spoiler:His status as this [[KilledOffForReal expires]] after [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself]] to save both Infected and Non-Infected from a collapsing building in "The Whirlwind That Is Passion".]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: He's voiced in the ''Prelude to Dawn'' anime.

* DropTheHammer: He wields a short hammer in one hand.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:He becomes the only survivor of Ace's squad (out of fourteen, including Ace).]]

* {{Retirony}}: Kal'tsit's second module reveals [[spoiler:Ace was actually one of the many holdovers from Babel that were in the process of leaving during their transition into Rhodes Island after the collapse of the original organization, [[NoPlaceForMeThere no longer personally comfortable with working for them]] without either the guidance or presence of Theresa or the Doctor — however, when the mission to Chernobog was made clear to be a rescue mission to retrieve the Doctor, Ace stayed with Rhodes Island ensure their rescue as a final favor before departing; [[SacrificalLion one that he'd ultimately pay for with his life]].]]

** They also demonstrate an immense knowledge of Originum, meteorology, and geology, to the point that they are able to guide the Rhodes Island landship through a Catastrophe based purely on a mathematical formula that predicts how Originum spreads underground and how the heat interacts with the air to generate destructive cyclones. When they discuss this with Kal'tsit, she mentions that before they lost their memory, the Doctor was a brilliant Originum researcher and the formula they came up with was something they devised before their memory loss.

-->[[spoiler:'''Mountain (After Promotion 2):''' At first, I thought Rhodes Island is another Mansfield, a 'free prison'; and you, the other me, the most free prisoner, and who is the king. Now I know this is not the case. This is not a prison and you are everyone's friend]].
* BatmanGambit: After Rhodes Island gets scammed by Mama John's and has some of its experimental Oripathy treatments stolen, the Doctor comes up with the idea of simply turning themselves in to the Columbian federal police. Since Oripathy medication is a controlled substance in Columbia, by law, the Columbian government seizes the stolen medicine and destroys it, thwarting Mama John's plan. And the only thing Rhodes Island had to suffer is the Doctor spending a couple days in jail being questioned by authorities, paying the fines to do with smuggling in untested Oripathy medication, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and deal with a potentially angry Kal'tsit once the team gets back to Rhodes Island]].

* InSeriesNickname:

** Both Beehunter and Jaye call them "Boss".
** Croissant calls them "Baws". When taking her FunetikAksent into consideration, it actually means "Boss".

* NotSoAboveItAll: She's basically a ConsummateProfessional during the two-episode prologue and [=SilverAsh=]'s Operator Record. Then you read the notes on Ayerscarpe's medical analysis, and notice that the person that wrote those isn't "a Medic operator" like many other Operators' analyses; ''it's Medic herself''.

* ChickMagnet: Regardless of gender, several operators have explicit or implied romantic feelings for the Doctor. In fact, Skadi's feelings for the Doctor is a plot point in the alternate timeline of ''Caerula Arbor'', as [[spoiler:the Seaborn god Isharmla develops the same feelings for them as a reuslt of inhabiting Skadi's body.]]

* TheFaceless: His face is hidden even in his unique art.

** Small emphasis on the term 'was', as it can go from StarCrossedLovers to WeUsedToBeFriends.
