History Characters / CoreLineStringrayIndustries

* PastimesProvePersonality: A man assigned to look over a warehouse full of media that has watched and read it all, even having a quirk of letting movies run uninterrupted on the background as relaxation noises, has an apparent belief that TheresNoBInMovie, and has given praise to his cover work because it's let him see a myriad ways that the "DifferentWorldDifferentMovies" trope has manifested on the Core Timeline? Definitely a [[Literature/ReadyPlayerOne James Halliday-slash-Parzival]]-slash-Creator/QuentinTarantino-style geek with an undying love for pop culture... only tempered with the fact that this knowledge is also useful for those times he has to ''kill people''.

* ComputerEqualsTapeDrive: It's mentioned that HAL's processing unit has a tape drive on the story he first appears on. Highly advanced tape ([[Franchise/{{Fallout}} Holo-Tape]]), sure, but ''tape''.

*** Roger: [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Roger Rabbit]], [[Film/LethalWeapon Detective Roger Murtaugh]] and [[Film/DeadHeat Detective Roger Mortis]].

* CompositeCharacter: Mostly his [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion original Anime interpretation]], with the ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' voice actor, a bit of the ''Rebuild'' Fanon (and kinda-canon earlier by way of ''SuperRobotWars'') of having suffered some kind of multiversal reincarnating loop... and most importantly, [[FusionFic fusioned]] with the ''Literature/{{Deathlands}}'' book series. And a bit of [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 The Spy]]. And maybe a bit of [[VideoGame/MetalGearRising Raiden]][=/=][[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Jack The Ripper]]...

* ShoutOut: Look up on her InUniverseNickname. As well, her appearance most of the time resembles a ''{{TRON}}''-style Program.

** And try to do what [[RanmaOneHalf/TheKunos Tatewaki Kunō]] does and denigrate Ranma's victories over you by labeling them as the work of "witchcraft". [[KillItWithFire Go ahead]], ''[[BurnTheWitch please]]'' [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill try]].

* AnOfficerAndAGentleman: His particular brand of ChickMagnet.

[[folder: Stingray Security Services (SSS)]]

!!'''STINGRAY SECURITY SERVICES (SSS)'''
--->'''[[BadassCreed "Nos Nemo Impune Lacessit (No one attacks us with impunity)"]].'''

Stingray Industries' private security force-slash-army, they are the sledgehammer and the dagger to The Champions' (and on a previous life of Ms. Stingray, the Knight Sabers') sword and shield. Applied effectively, taken from all walks of life, trained (and sometimes ''re''trained) to their full potential as [[OneManArmy One-Man Armies]], the SSS may be seen by the Corporation's nay-sayers as a typical MegaCorp RedshirtArmy... and in doing this, they are very, ''very'' mistaken.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: How "improbable"? He has an orbital marksmanship qualification-meaning that he can shoot things ''on'' and ''from'' Earth orbit, at the ''closest'' (depends greatly on things like available weaponry, of course). He can also kill things with anything he can throw or flick, even fingernails.

* PapaWolf: Seriously, ''don't'' ever try to hurt his son Jonny (or any other kid he's come to like). He'd probably be three-quarter of the day into going Heisenberg on your ass before he actually starts getting doubtful.

An Alternate of [[WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest Dr. Benton Quest]] that is Head Scientist of the Forge. He puts his considerable intellect to reverse-engineering alien technology, combining various sciences, and overall coming up with various technological miracles for the benefit of Stingray Industries. Sadly...they don't always work out as envisioned.

!!'''Kanami Yuta'''

An Alternate of [[Anime/{{Scryed}} Kanami Yuta]] who lives at the Forge. Her Alter power was mutated, giving her the ability to dream of artifacts that will eventually arrive in the Core Timeline. As such, she's kept away from the world as much as possible, because her power makes her a tempting target for the greedy and cruel.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: She has this power in addition to her canonical abilities, and can predict when things of value are about to arrive in the Core Timeline.
* NiceGirl: A little girl that is pretty lonely and says so, but still is pretty polite and soldiers on.
!!'''Jeremie Belpois'''

An Alternate of [[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko Jeremie Belpois]] who lives at the Forge.

* ForeheadOfDoom: He has a pretty large forehead.

* TheShortGuyWithGlasses

* TheShortGuyWithTheGlasses

* BritsWithBattleships: Naturalized citizen of the United Kingdom, got some additional TrainingFromHell up to the (current) standards of the Special Air Service (SAS).

* BerserkButton: [[CosmicPlaything Cosmic Playthings]], and those that have forced people into this role. Also those who use a person's sense of duty (sworn or otherwise) as a chain to yank them around. And hurt his unit or friends, and ''[[DeaderThanDead die]]''. There is also not much love between him and the more cold-heart versions/members of the [[SailorMoon Sailor Senshi]].

* OldSoldier.
* PeterCullen: "[[ComicBookFantasyCasting Voiced]]" by him. Shard [[InvokedTrope chose this voice pattern]] [[InUniverse for his vocal implants]] in order to try to draw more respect out of people.

* JerryJewell: "Voiced" by him. Actually has a good capacity to imitate other characters that Jewell voiced.

* UnusualUserInterface: In order to pilot some of the more radical types of mecha around, Shinji got himself some implants with which to do so, such as nano-tech to drive [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Aestivalis]] and "[[BrainComputerInterface datajacks]]" to allow him to use stuff like ''ExoSquad''-verse E-Frames and [[TabletopGame/CthulhuTech Engels]].

--->''"You have just insulted my girlfriend, so I expect you to apologize. Choose your next words ''and'' actions with '''exceptional''' care, [[Characters/LoveHina Miss Aoyama]]. [[ImpliedDeathThreat You don't want them to go to waste]]."''

An Alternate version of [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]], born and raised on a [[MirrorUniverse Bright]][[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} hammer]] universe, trained as a Storm Trooper by his father and the Imperial Guard of his home planet (a Fortress World). While he is (as many other members of the Brighthammer universes) much more open-minded about things, he still is a member of the Imperial Guard, and he fights for Stingray with the same unrelenting temerity as his battles against the enemies of the God-Emperor...

** And try to do what [[RanmaOneHalf/TheKunos Tatewaki Kuno]] does and denigrate Ranma's victories over you by labeling them as the work of "witchcraft". [[KillItWithFire Go ahead]], ''[[BurnTheWitch please]]'' [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill try]].

* GoodIsNotNice: Wants to help save the world. Is not afraid to deploy her private army to do so, nor play around with other "stereotypical Cyberpunk Evil MegaCorp" tactics to obtain the better results for a happy ending.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She is on the side of angels. She is an IronLady coming from a hard-core Cyberpunk universe.

* MyGreatestFailure: "The Reipe" is this (again, a re-enacting of ''BlackHawkDown'' with SSS standing in for the Americans ''and the NobodyDies version of Tokyo-3 standing for Mogadishu''). [[spoiler:The events of ''Rise Of The Extraordinary Avengers'' imply that the events of ''Legends Of The Fourth Of July'' are also this for the group in general (and The Champions in (POV-wise) specific).]]

%%* FieryRedhead
%%* FriendlySniper.

* IdenticalStranger: His passing resemblance to [[Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld Makoto Mizuhara]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] (to not mention ''[[SpikeSpencer sounding]]'' like Shinji Ikari) has been used for infiltration missions and decoy purposes a few times.

* TheWindyCity: Its North American headquarters are based on Chicago.
