History Characters / BeyondGoodAndEvil

* [[spoiler: APlagueOnBothYourHouses]]: He curses Jade and tells her why she's doomed to fail, because he thinks she's already lost everything important to her--her uncle, her kids, and even her parents. [[spoiler: Jade stares him down until his death, because she knows how wrong he is.]]

* WeCanRuleTogether: A variation.

* ForTheEvulz: He wants to live longer and restore his original level of power back. Okay, so maybe he wants to accomplish something important to him? .... nope, he just wants to live longer. Not a very good reason for him causing something along the lines of mass murder.

* StealthExpert: Despite having no training in it, Jade is pretty stealthy. In fact she's practically a female [[MetalGear Solid Snake]].

* ActionGirl - With a sideorder of ActionMom thrown in.

* DeadpanSnarker - Mostly around Pey'j. She's a lot more serious around Double H, since she's nowhere near as comfortable with him... At first.

* [[spoiler: HealingHands - Which she uses to bring back Pey'j.]]

* HotScoop - She even used to be the page picture for that trope!
* IntrepidReporter - Ditto.
* LotusPosition - She meditates in this in the game's opening.

* MamaBear - Get close to the lighthouse orphans at your own peril.
* [[spoiler: MindControlEyes]] - Her eyes glow when [[spoiler: the [=DomZ=] priest infiltrates her mind.]]
* OrphanageOfLove - She runs one for war orphans, along with her uncle.

* SimpleStaff - And she kicks a lot of ass with it.

* StealthExpert - Despite having no training in it, Jade is pretty stealthy. In fact she's practically a female [[MetalGear Solid Snake]].
* TeamMom - At least, to the orphans.
* VoiceOfTheResistance - At least, she seems to be one of the main reporters for the IRIS Network.

* GeniusBruiser - He can throw a punch--er, wrench--better than you'd think. He's also probably the smartest member of Jade's crew.
* GoodScarsEvilScars - It's never explained how he got his eye scar, but given the implications he makes about his past, one can make a few assumptions.
* HonoraryUncle - [[CaptainObvious Well, yeah.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser - Also counts as an ImprovisedWeapon--he uses a wrench.
* LargeHam - IncrediblyLamePun not intended. (Which is not to say we don't relish it.)
* MyNaymeIs - Yes, it's spelled ''Pey'j''.
* MrFixit - He repairs the hovercraft, but it only lasts long enough to make it to [[BlackMarket Mamago Garage]]. He's also capable of repairing an elevator, and probably other things.

* PigMan - Of the friendly variety.

* [[spoiler: RebelLeader - He's the secret leader of the IRIS Network.]]
* RetiredBadass - We don't know ''what'' he got up to with Jade's parents, but indications are, it was pretty hardcore, and Pey'j has a surprising knowledge of buttkicking.
* SouthernFriedGenius - If his accent is anything to go by, he comes in spicy Texan flavor.
* TakeCareOfTheKids - He was Jade's parents' best friend; they put her under his care to save her.
* WeekendInventor - The Jet Boots, the hovercraft, [[spoiler: the Beluga]], and who knows what else...

* BigBookOfWar - ''Carlson & Peeters'', which he quotes ''constantly''.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter - Almost to EmotionalBruiser levels.
* CloudCuckoolander - Primarily during his EasyAmnesia stint, but even when he recovers, he's still a little... out there. But it's in more of a BunnyEarsLawyer sense.
* ColdBloodedTorture - When Jade first discovers him, he's being tortured with some sort of [=DomZ=] machine.

* EasyAmnesia - From the ColdBloodedTorture he recieves. It doesn't last long though.
* ElectricTorture - He's first found caught in it.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep - Although Jade's IRIS teammates call her by her name most often, Double H is only called by his codename... [[spoiler: except for when he's dying. Then, they call him "Hub." WordOfGod confirms that his full name is Hubert.]]
* FireForgedFriends - While it's not that she actively ''dislikes'' him, at first, Jade is clearly a lot less comfortable while working with Double H than she is working with Pey'j. However, the trials they endure together in the Factory unite them, and they become true friends. She's still a little less sure of him than she is of Pey'j, but even that begins to change.
* FirstNameBasis - As befitting his KnightInShiningArmor personality, he always politely refers to Jade as "Miss Jade." However, shortly after [[spoiler: the lighthouse is destroyed]], he kills the "Miss," cementing their [[FireForgedFriends Fire Forged Friendship]] once and for all.
* GentleGiant - Despite his military-minded exterior, he's ultimately kind-hearted--and even, if the credits are anything to go by, as much a FriendToAllChildren as Jade and Pey'j.
* [[GladHesOnOurSide Glad She's On Our Side]] - He remarks this about Jade after watching her single-handedly beat up several monsters.
* IOweYouMyLife - The reason for his fierce loyalty--at first.
* JustInTime - [[spoiler: Double H saves Jade just as she's about to fall to her death.]]

* PerpetualFrowner - At least at first. He starts to smile more in the later portions of the game.
* PluckyComicRelief - Less so than Pey'j though.
* SorryImLate - He comes to your aid in the middle of a boss battle.
* SpaceMarine - More of a parody than a traditional take, though.
* [[spoiler: TakeMyHand]] - [[spoiler: His rescue of Jade in the rooftop chase scene.]]
* UseYourHead - His main attack seems to be ramming things with his head.
* WhenHeSmiles - After being dour-faced for the entire game, he finally smiles after [[spoiler: seeing Jade break out of her HeroicBSOD.]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/HHSmile_5591.jpg Cue "awwwws."]]
* [[spoiler: YouSeeImDying]] - [[spoiler: At the end of the dungeon where you save him, you find out he's dying due to [=DomZ=] infection, and you have to get him back to HQ in [[TimedMission five minutes]].]]

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign - He speaks with... [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent some sort of accent]], but whatever it is, it's ''[[CrazyAwesome awesome]]''.
* BagOfHolding - He scans all of Jade's items and turns them into data. to be reconfigured upon actual use... [[TechnoBabble Or something like that.]]
* [[spoiler: ChekhovsGunman]] - [[spoiler: His major appearances are mostly near the beginning of the game. However, in the end, he's able to hack into the computer on the moon base.]]
* HardLight - He's able to push buttons, somehow. And yet, he can't be high-fived or shoulder-slapped. Odd.
* HollywoodHacking - He has no problems [[spoiler: hacking the ''entire communications satellite.'']] Of course, it ''could'' be that he simply put the moves on the female AI.

* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick - He and Pey'j have a tendency to argue with one another.

* BaldBlackLeaderGuy - Or at the very least, the Bald AmbiguouslyBrown Guy.

* RebelLeader - Although not quite the leader.

* TeamMom - She seems to be this within the IRIS cell, and it shows especially when Double H comes back injured.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection - Not as often as Nino, but she takes the role on occasion.

* TheGenericGuy - Since he's most often in his "business" persona, he's probably the most normal of the IRIS members.

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection - He is explicitly a radio and communications officer, and sends most of your mission data.

* BlindSeer - In a more modern version of this trope, he's the one who recognizes Jade's inherent talent and first realizes there's more to her than there is on the surface.

* IronicNickname - Although he's called "Peepers," he is, in fact, blind.

* GlobalCurrencyException - Only for the vendors.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure - She not only knows the Alpha Sections are bad, but she and her team of hackers are actively willing to help IRIS.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild - Kip, who takes a ''lot'' of responsibility for the other kids despite seemingly being one of the younger ones. Oumi is female, but has many of the same personality traits.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation - Yoa, who is, inexplicably, ''bright blue.'' She's supposedly a human, but that's up for debate.
* CoolBigSis - Fehn has an especially close relationship with Jade, so he views her in this light much more strongly than the other kids.
* FacialMarkings - Yoa has white ones on her cheeks, beneath her eyes.
* FunnyAnimal - Fehn and Oumi are both goat people, or ''Capra sapiens.''
* TheHeart - Oumi tries very hard to be this, and seems to worry about Jade a lot.

* MrImagination - Fehn, who has a fondness for pretending to be a knight, and even wants to grow up to be a soldier.

* MysteriousWaif - Yoa, in addition to being blue, speaks an unknown language and has been spying on Pey'j. Or she can ''see into the future.'' It's not clear which, but either way, she's mysterious.
* ParentWithNewParamour - Initially, Fehn seems to ''think'' this is the case between [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Jade and Double H]]. He seems... skeptical. However, the end credits PhotoMontage shows that he eventually comes to like Double H a lot--and probably has Jade set him straight.
* ShrinkingViolet - Zaza. This is probably because her parents were only killed recently, so it's understandable that she's still in a state of shock.
* TroubledChild - Poor Zaza...

* [[ColonelBadass Supreme Commander Badass]] - Though he doesn't get to show it until the end of the game.

* [[spoiler: [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Kids]] - He kidnaps the orphans from the lighthouse.]]

* [[spoiler: APlagueOnBothYourHouses]] - He curses Jade and tells her why she's doomed to fail, because he thinks she's already lost everything important to her--her uncle, her kids, and even her parents. [[spoiler: Jade stares him down until his death, because she knows how wrong he is.]]
* PropagandaMachine - Which he uses ''constantly'', and ''[[EvilIsHammy loudly]]''.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech - Gives one [[spoiler: as he's about to die]].
* SpiderTank - He pilots something similar to this [[spoiler: ON THE MOON.]]

* [[spoiler: VampiricDraining - Turns out, he and the [=DomZ=] have been kidnapping people to "drain their fluids" so they themselves can live longer.]]

* [[spoiler: EvilMakesYouUgly - Without their helmets on, the Alpha Section troops look downright grotesque.]]
* EyeBeams - Though in this case they're for scanning the environment, and not igniting their enemies.

* [[ShootTheFuelTank Kick The Oxygen Tank]] - Kicking it once causes them to run around uncontrollably until they get it repaired. Kicking it ''twice'' causes the tank to fly into air, taking it with them [[{{Balloonacy}} higher and higher]], unless they hit a ceiling or something else [[CruelAndUnusualDeath and explode]].
* PoweredArmor - It's even better than the regular army's laser proof armor.
* [[spoiler: SpaceBase - A base on the moon.]]

* [[spoiler: DeathByIrony - Before she was "taken away" and turned into a human, Shauni (Jade) was the source of his powers, and he wants her back. She's the one that kills him. Ends up pulling double-duty as HoistByHisOwnPetard, in that sense. ]]

* FridgeHorror - He's indirectly screwed everything in the entire storyline, and he just so happens to be a ''priest'', so that means there's more like him out there, all over the galaxy, even. Also, [[CosmicBeing who the -- no, WHAT the fuck could his God be?]].
** ''Also'', it basically looks like a floating head with something resembling tendrils and mandibles. The very first utterance of a line it ever had was a cough, followed by him saying that he's dying. If we may be so blunt as to ask, "Your Excellency", what happened to the ''[[BodyHorror rest]]'' of your body?

* WeCanRuleTogether - A variation.

* XanatosGambit

* AmbiguouslyBrown - Her ethnicity is a source of ''constant'' debate. Some people speculate that she was deliberately designed so that players see what they want to see in her.

* FridgeHorror - He's indirectly screwed everything in the entire storyline, and he just so happens to be a ''priest'', so that means there's more like him out there, all over the galaxy, even. Also, [[CosmicHorror who the -- no, WHAT the fuck could his God be?]].

* YourMoneyIsNoGoodHere - Only for the vendors.

* [[FirstPersonSnapshooter Professional Photographer]]

* [[AmateurPhotographer Professional Photographer]]

* CuteShotaroBoy - Kip, who takes a ''lot'' of responsibility for the other kids despite seemingly being one of the younger ones. Oumi is female, but has many of the same personality traits.

* SpiderTank - He pilots something similar to this [[spoiler: [[BeyondTheImpossible ON THE MOON]].]]

* HotScoop - She's even the page picture for that trope!

The protagonist and main character of [[BeyondGoodAndEvil the game]]. She works as a photographer, and lives in a lighthouse on the planet Hillys with her uncle Pey'j, and a group of orphans. At first she just wants to make a little money to get out of PerpetualPoverty, but she quickly gets caught up in a [[LaResistance resistance movement]], a GovernmentConspiracy, and an AlienInvasion.

!!Isaac and the Mammago crew

* ShortHairedHottie

* BigBad:
* CompleteMonster: He's draining the life energy from '''an entire planetary population''' just so '''[[ItsAllAboutMe HE]]''' could live longer, and he has ''gall'' to call them "miserable sacrifices".

* EnsembleDarkhorse - In the fandom, she's pretty much the next popular character after the three leads--she's certainly more popular than Secundo, even though he's technically an active member of "Team Jade."

* EnsembleDarkhorse - Yoa, probably due to her inherent [[MysteriousWaif mysteriousness]].

* CompleteMonster: Whereas all the other Alpha Section soldiers appear to be corrupted caricatures of the men they once were, General Kheck looks completely healthy, and he's ''still'' working for the near-omnicidal [=DomZ=] Priest; he joined ''willingly'', fully knowing what would entail afterward.

* CargoShip - He likes the hovercraft a tiny bit much. [[spoiler: And to a lesser extent, [[CoolStarship the Beluga]].]]

* CompleteMonster: Whereas all the other Alpha Section soldiers appear to be corrupted caricatures of the men they once were, General Kheck looks completely healthy, and he's ''still'' working for the near-omnicidal [=DomZ=] Priest; he joined ''willingly'', fully knowing what would entail afterward.

* ObviouslyEvil: Wears black armor. Has no hair. Makes hammy speeches on the television about how "Great" it is to be a member of the army, while lunging his arm forward in a Hitler-like fashion.
