History Characters / EternalReturnBlackSurvival

* ArcherArchetype: Pretty much her whole design is based around archery.

* DeathByAThousandCuts: Haze lacks a lot of good burst options and has to chip her enemies down with ability {{Combos}}.

* LadyInAPowerSuit: She's wearing a business suit while toting an assault rifle. And an SMG. And a shotgun. And a rocket launcher.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Cathy is a doctor that even has a passive in her ultimate to create a healing zone after she revives allies, but ironically she's not very good at healing allies in combat compared to plenty of other characters like Johann or Adina. This fits with her medical training that followed real-life logic where a medic can not hope fully fix someone up without extensive work on them, so her thought-process is the same even with VF empowering her and the ''Emergency Surgery'' ultimate is her only attempt to heal allies which is reserved for, well, emergencies.

* MyGreatestFailure: Adriana blames herself for her sister Lily's death, so much so that it's resulted in her becoming schizoprenic.

* {{Pyromaniac}}: This is Adriana's whole schtick.

* TheTeetotaler: His bio states he is this, but this doesn't have any effect on gameplay.

* BizarreTasteInFood: {{Downplayed|}} - it's not the most extreme kind of this trope, but Celine somewhat oddly (the oddity of this is attested by our MasochistsMeal page) really quite likes eating [=MREs=].

* {{Tsundere}}: Her attitude and bio show she's definitely the case.

* DysfunctionJunction: Nearly everyone's got some issues, just to varying degrees (especially if you check the original Black Survival logs on them). Delusion, amnesia, obsessions, being RaisedByWolves, inferiority complexes, mental trauma, or full-blown sadism - it doesn't seem like the Aglaia experiment is really looking for mere {{Nice Guy}}s to gather data on.

* SkillGateCharacter: Sniper Aya can be difficult for inexperienced players to deal with due to her annoying long-range poke and disengage, making it hard for newer players to contest special materials (i.e. Tree of Life, Meteorites). However, against more experienced players, Sniper Aya is far less of a pain, especially since experienced players will know when they simply should not contest her over a material.

* AchillesHeel: Eleven is especially vulnerable to interrupts due to her numerous charge-up abilities. Stuns, silences, and other similar crowd controls are very problematic to her. Being disarmed during her ultimate is also extremely bad for her.[[note]]As such, Yuki and Lenox hard-counter her with their numerous crowd controls. Yuki also deals a lot of true damage, bypassing any defenses Eleven may have built up.[[/note]] She's also more vulnerable to healing reduction effects than most, as she relies on the healing provided by her sliders to increase her longevity in fights.

* KimonoFanservice: Aya's ''Midsummer Night'' skin features a kimono that leaves her enormous cleavage on display and reaches just low enough to avoid a PantyShot. Her breasts also jiggle while wearing it (though not during gameplay) and border on an ImpossiblyLowNeckline.

* KimonoFanservice: Aya's ''Midsummer Night'' skin features a kimono that leaves her enormous cleavage on display and reaches just low enough to avoid a PantyShot. Her breasts also jiggle while wearing it (though not during gameplay).

* HiddenBuxom: Chiara's base skin makes it difficult to tell, but her Arbiter and Spirit Hunter skins show she's well-endowed (though not to the degree of Jenny, Aya, Rozzi, etc).

* DifficultButAwesome: Adriana's kit relies on damage-over-time effects and proper placement of her oil slicks and molotovs to get the most out of her damage. She's considerably harder to use in solo matches because she can't actually force most opponents to sit in her fire and would need a frontline ally to pin the enemy in place. At the pro level, however, she's arguably one of the most powerful characters in squad games, even though her damage is significantly penalized in duo and squad modes.

* RedOniBlueOni: {{Inverted}}. Debis in blue and she's the hotheaded one, while Marlene is red and is far more levelheaded.

* RedOniBlueOni: [[Inverted]]. Debis in blue and she's the hotheaded one, while Marlene is red and is far more levelheaded.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Celine arguably is this because while she can do a lot of area damage, her setup time is often long enough that her opponent can out-maneuver her and avoid the worst of her explosions, or burst her down before she finishes her combo. She also can't set up way in advance because of her Plasma Bombs having a very short lifespan. This makes her less potent in solo play because she can't force her enemies to stand around while she sets her bombs up.

* DifficultButAwesome: Celine's kit is tough to master due to requiring setup time, requiring {{Combos}} to do meaningful damage, and due to having relatively high mana costs. Learning to use her Blast Wave to stun enemies is also tricky, but rewarding if you can pull it off. That said, she can do a lot of area damage and has enough crowd control to be devastating in teams, especially if her teammates buy her enough time to pull off her combos.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Let the hunt begin!"]]

* MostCommonSuperpower: Along with her telekinesis, she's also one of the bustiest members of the playable roster, only trailing behind Sua and Jenny.

* FanservicePack: Laura's breasts appear higher and firmer on her chest compared to ''Black Survival'', and her bodysuit hugs her curves. She doesn't show as much skin in her base appearance, though.

* MsFanservice: Despite showing less skin with her base skin than in ''Black Survival'', Laura's still wearing a skintight bodysuit that hugs her curvy body, especially her ample breasts, which also jiggle even in her bodysuit. Her voice lines are also [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything fairly erotic in nature]], especially in the Japanese dub. Her alternate outfits show more skin, especially her "Jailhouse Phantom Laura" skin. See also TheTease.

[[folder:Abigail]]
----
* SinisterScythe: Abigail wields a scythe in combat.[[note]]Mechanics-wise, she is an Axe user.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]

* DeathFromAbove: Chiara's ultimate can conclude by having her rise above the battlefield and then come crashing down on a target, dealing high damage to it and refunding part of her ultimate's cooldown if this attack kills its target.
* FinishingMove: The second half of Chiara's ultimate, Last Judgement, can be used on enemies that have four Stigmas on them. When used, Chiara will rise up and then come crashing down on her target, dealing true damage. This is best used to finish off a target, as it will end Plague's effect.

* ISurrenderSuckers: It's not easy or likely because of the large range of it, but it is possible for other allies to get out of Peacemaker's circle to damage enemies left helplessly dancing during it.

* PsychopathicManchild: Asks a few childlike questions (such as wondering how boats don't sink) and has a reoccurring motif in her voicelines around the children's-games Tag and Hide-and-Seek.

* {{Combos}}: Red Carpet's slow and pushing/pulling effect helps keep enemies in the circles of Spotlight and Acceptance Speech.

* ThrillSeeker: Laura does what she does for the sheer thrill of it. This even ties into her gameplay, as she has a special resource called... [[CaptainObvious Thrill]], which is used for her dashes.

* BoobsOfSteel: Karla is a rather busty lady that can heft around [[GreatBow a crossbow so large]] that [[ChainsawGripBFG she has to fire it from the waist]]. Her Grappling Maneuver skill has her manage to hold onto her crossbow as she reels in the chain to propel herself toward a harpoon embedded in the ground - and her Salvage skill instead has her reel in those harpoons which can anchor her moving through the air by instead anchoring ''them'' with apparently pure strength as she jumps upward off the ground while doing it.

* BoobsOfSteel: Laura is very well-endowed and she can drag others along with her during her ultimate, which would definitely require her to be physically strong.

* BoobsOfSteel: Using her fishing rod, she can knock back or pull in full grown people. She's also got an impressive bust to match.

* BonusBoss: Killing her isn't required, but doing so will give you a massive advantage.

* SultryBangs: On top of being a ClassyCatBurgler in a [[SensualSpandex very tight bodysuit]], her MsFanservice image is further made obvious with her purple hair seductively going over her left eye. The splash art used for her skins also further use this trope by actually them show her hair going over her eye, compared to her standard artwork which has her head turned enough to see her left eye clearly.

* ISurrenderSuckers: It's not easy or likely because of the large range of it, but it is possible for other allies out of Peacemaker's circle to damage enemies left helplessly dancing during it.

* DeadlyDoctor: She can kill people just as efficiently as she can patch them up, but she often does more harm than good.
* HealThyself: Cathy's ''Emergency Surgery'' leaves behind a healing field after she dashes with it, which she can use to help sustain herself in combat.

* ChargedAttack: Most of Eleven's kit includes these, but she can bypass the charge-up by either picking up one of her sliders or by activating her ultimate.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Her main quote is this. She's not overly fond of her powers.

* ThePowerOfMusic: Can kill living beings (and destroy some inanimate objects) by playing on her guitar. Her ultimate can force every enemy in range around her to dance, preventing them from taking any action but moving while also slowing them, and heals herself a lot over its duration.

* {{Seer}}: Adina is this.

* MightyGlacier: Lenox's Recoil scales with her maximum HP, and her passive's shield also scales with it, so Lenox players usually build for high durability. However, while her Snakebite can give her a brief burst of movement speed, Lenox has no dashes or other mobility tools.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Elena's mobility, crowd controls, and survivability are all good and sound as though they would make her a strong Test Subject. However, this is all offset by her lackluster damage output and relatively poor scaling with Skill Amplification. Cooldown reduction is also not a good stat on her due to her already having a lot of CooldownManipulation in her kit. Even if built up, Elena's skills are not designed to kill an enemy quickly, forcing her into long, drawn-out engagements that run a high risk of a third party coming in and [[KillSteal killing her and her opponent]]. While Elena can escape from danger reasonably well, it's difficult for her to secure kills on Test Subjects. Additionally, her low damage output also causes her to farm animals more slowly, and results in her often falling behind in weapon mastery, meaning she'll end up outpowered by late-game opposition unless she can get several kills early on. This is made harder by her being somewhat reliant on her weapon skill for closing the gap on enemies and sticking to them, with said skill taking considerable time to unlock, and usually leaving her unable to contest early-game objectives. Additionally, her ultimate has a considerable delay, long enough that unless she's already frozen her target, they'll likely dodge the worst of it or outright avoid it altogether.
** On a different note, this could also apply to her skates. They look cool, but the blades on them are so impractically long that she shouldn't be able to move on them. This is justified since she's using her ice powers to help her move, even on surfaces like concrete or sand.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Elena might have a good deal of mobility, but her abilities are relatively limited in reach. Her ultimate, while covering a significant area, has a short casting range, so she has to get close to someone to have any hope of landing a direct hit.

* StoneWall: Elena has a lot of mobility and crowd controls in her kit, and she can briefly give herself a defense buff with her W. However, her damage output is poor compared to her competition, forcing her to win long, drawn-out fights rather than being able to burst someone down. Additionally, if her W and E are on cooldown, she has terrible base movement speed, and her E's cooldown is very long.

* PinnedToTheWall: Hyunwoo's dash does this if he charges an enemy into a wall, stunning them and reducing their defense.

* BloodKnight: Jackie clearly doesn't consider having an insurmountable advantage over her targets as a SerialKiller usually would to be necessary for her, as she finds the experiment against all of the other armed survivors quite fun and expresses disappointment at how quickly it's all over should she become victorious. Voicelines played from her Adrenaline Rush skill further implies she finds a risky situation to be thrilling.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Jackie's [[CoveredWithScars rather scarred]] for a SerialKiller that's gotten away with it. There's no indication these would be self-inflicted, so she's presumedly open to violence that isn't entirely in her favor.

* SelfMadeOrphan: Some voicelines imply that the "missing" Angela Winslair is actually her and thus she murdered the family's adults, with her saying sometimes while in Uptown that it reminds her of long ago and a line where she chuckles about how her parents were killed by a very scary person.
* SerialKiller: Jackie has killed over thirty people as a SerialKiller. That being said, while on Lumia island, she is clearly quite open to the idea of being a SpreeKiller as well judging by how much she enjoys killing multiple survivors in a match and expresses how she's eager to add more to the count.

* SupportPartyMember: Johann's kit is at its best when he is part of a duo or squad, as he excels at healing and buffing teammates. Unfortunately, he doesn't do nearly as well in solo play, where his weak damage output and lack of mobility make things a lot harder for him.

* TheNapoleon: She doesn't like being considered cute and her height doesn't help her in that department, plus she apparently has a bit of a HairTriggerTemper considering her in-game resource.

* AdaptationalCurves: Rio's Shrine Maiden skin appears to be bustier than her base skin, and bustier than any skin she's had in the original ''Black Survival'', but it isn't by much. Her beach skin also shows she's bustier than she was in ''Black Survival''.

* {{Miko}}: Rio's Shrine Maiden skin is this.

* {{Combos}}: Rozzi's ultimate does much better when she lands her basic abilities (rather than just her basic attacks) on the target after she sticks them with her Semtex Bomb Mk II, causing it to detonate sooner, deal more damage, and give her a brief boost in movement speed. Additionally, the mobility provided by Easy Shot or Flutter helps her get into position for knocking an enemy back into a wall with the second use of Gun Vault.

* SkillGateCharacter: Yuki can feel oppressive to newer players due to his strong chase abilities, multiple crowd controls and reasonably good defenses. Against pro players, however, Yuki's predictability and inability to go over walls makes him much less of a threat. That said, in wide open areas without walls for his enemies to jump over for escaping (such as Beach or Forest), Yuki can chase and catch just about anyone[[note]]Exceptions include Magnus, Silvia, Adriana, and Hyejin[[/note]].

In-game, Wickeline is a boss character who appears at the start of Night 3 and begins wandering around any still-opened zones on Lumia Island. If defeated, she gives the Survivor(s) who killed her a powerful damage-over-time buff and an extremely rare VF Blood Sample, along with one other rare material (i.e. Meteorite, Tree of Life, or Mithril).

* TheDreaded: Being a first-generation Test Subject, Wickeline is usually far more powerful than any of the other Survivors (at least in lore).

* BoobsOfSteel: Much like Lenox, she can use her whip's weapon skill to pull in full-grown people, and she's well-endowed. She can also drag others along with her during her ultimate, which would definitely require her to be physically strong.

* OrnamentalWeapon: She has appears to have a snub-nose revolver in a holster on her hip for her Jailhouse Phantom skin, but she can never actually use it.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: The whip's Weapon Skill allows its user to pull its target toward the user, provided they land the skillshot. Lenox can use this to great effect with her kit to force fights or combo with her ''Blue Viper''.

* DressedToPlunder: She definitely looks like a pirate.
