History Characters / Deathloop

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: Julianna's comments about how at the begging Frank had managed to break his artistic block ''heavily'' imply he was once also immune to the memory loss affecting everyone but Colt and Julianna, but she doesn't elaborate on it and even if he was once immune, he clearly isn't anymore. Nothing is confirmed either way.]]

* BossInMook'sClothing: Despite being a simple garbage collector, he is one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, largely because of his bomb suit that makes him ''very'' durable, but also makes certain slabs such as Karnesis ineffective against him. Fortunately, he is still vulnerable to a good ol' neck snap, but getting the drop on him can be a bit of a pain.

* AmbiguousSituation: In one of the Minicom chat logs, Charlie appears to be [[{{Malaproper}} trying]] to explain to [[AbhorrentAdmirer Aleksis]] that Wenjie is transsexual before simply settling for saying that the mogul has literally nothing that she would want.

* NeverBeHurtAgain: Little Harriet had two loving parents who died in a horrible plane crash that she barely survived. Her second mother figure was supportive and encouraged Harriet to enter academia, spend her time learning in libraries and travel the world to broaden her knowledge--so Harriet wouldn't notice her embezzling the Morse family fortune away. In a world where the people you love can be torn away in a second, and anyone can stab you in the back, is it any wonder she developed a philosophy in which the the self is paramount and the best one can hope for after death is an empty, uncaring world without suffering?

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:The conversation he has with Fia during their secret meetup implies that he's the one who actually wrote the song ''Ode to Somewhere'', ([[spoiler:probably pre-brain surgery]])and that it was a love ballad for Fia that Frank took, changed the chord progression to, and made his own hit.]]

* LiteralSplitPersonality: At first he had difficulty getting 2-BIT's AI to work right (Cassette:"How to Robot"). Fia, being her EccentricArtist self, suggested he take a chunk of his brain and put it into 2-BIT to make it work better. Charlie took her whim seriously, also laboring under the impression that taking out the empathic portions of his brain would make him a better game designer, and approached Wenjie (apparently not too long before First Day) and asked her to do the deed. Give [[NotThatKindOfDoctor Wenjie]] some credit, she managed to pull off the surgery without killing him. However, the results appear to have completely wiped out the more sensitive and artistic qualities which attracted Fia to him, and left him with some difficulty speaking and writing correctly--notably foisting a number of creative duties onto 2-BIT.

* NeverBeHurtAgain: Little Harriet had to loving parents before they died in a horrible plane crash that she survived. Her second mother figure was supportive and encouraged Harriet to enter academia, spend her time learning in libraries and travel the world to broaden her knowledge--so Harriet wouldn't notice her embezzling the Morse family fortune away. In a world where the people you love can be torn away in a second, and anyone can stab you in the back, is it any wonder she developed a philosophy in which the the self is paramount and the best one can hope for after death is an empty, uncaring world without suffering?

* EvilGenius: She's the only traditional scientist among the Visionaries and has made the most progress in studying the anomaly. She's the creator of the Slabs as well as the nullifier devices that stop them working.

* FreudianExcuse: Her autobiography mentions a trusted friend and mentor who took her in after she survived the plane crash and spent years quietly stealing her inheritance. This betrayal formed the basis of her sociopathic, hedonistic philosophy.

* {{Malaproper}}: He's demonstrated as getting words wrong sometimes in speech and text, likely a side effect of his lobectomy.

* IncompatibleOrientation: Possibly. The minicom log "Temporary Group Channel: Noon" is a conversation between Charlie and Aleksis wherein Aleksis, who has the hots for Wenjie, tries to get Charlie to help him make an invite to his party she can't resist. Charlie attempts to explain that Wenjie is [[{{Malaproper}} "transactory", "transactional"]] before flatly telling Aleksis that he has ''nothing'' she wants.

* JerkAss: A more subdued version than most of her fellow visionaries, but she comes across as very tightly wound and irritable, hence why she's always arguing with herself.

* GadgeteerGenius: He is the one who created the security system in Blackreef, such as the cameras and turrets.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:The conversation he has with Fia during their secret meetup implies that he's the one who actually wrote the song ''Ode to Somewhere'', and that it was a love ballad for Fia that Frank took, changed the chord progression to, and made his own hit.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: An audio recording reveals Charlie had Wenjie remove the empathy center of his brain, likely so he could enjoy his games without feeling guilt over what he's putting the players through. That same bit of brain seems to be empowering 2-Bit, which may be the reason why the computer is more sympathetic than Charlie himself.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:His abuse of 2-Bit comes back to bite him ''hard'' if Colt proves to 2-Bit that Charlie doesn't care about him, causing 2-Bit to pull a HeelFaceTurn and start assisting Colt for the rest of the loops. He's also the Visionary who gets the most humiliating ending in the extended ending, still getting dumped by Fia and being beaten up by Colt to save 2-Bit.]]

* {{Malaproper}}: He's demonstrated as getting words wrong sometimes in speech and text, likely a side effect of [[spoiler:his lobectomy]].

* Irony: Despite refusing to believe in magic she's still able able to study the anomaly and harness its mystical powers, whereas Egor who does believe in it makes no significant discoveries at all.
