History Characters / Fallout4Goodneighbor

* WretchedHive: Amusingly subverted/downplayed. While its reputation isn't ''entirely'' unfounded (Chem dealers and mercenaries are both common and operate in the open, and the Triggermen have a strong presence), many of the inhabitants just want to live their own lives in peace and are (usually) pretty friendly once the Sole Survivor gets on their good side.

* ShoutOut: As he's the guy who's responsible for the Silver Shroud quest, his name is a reference to one of the names Radio/TheShadow has taken, Kent Allard.

* NotThatKindOfDoctor: She won't patch you up like the other Wasteland surgeons. Amari is a trained scientist, not a physician.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Everyone in town seems to love Hancock. [[spoiler:Well, everyone except Bobbi]].

* {{Foil}}: The city as a whole is one to both Underworld from the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave's Freeside.
** While both Underworld and Goodneighbor are heavily populated by Ghouls and are very popular towns, Goodneighbor is more of a {{Wretched Hive}} while Underworld was more respectable. However, Goodneighbor is also far more formidable than Underworld and is fiercely independent, whereas Underworld's fate is still unknown (with it being implied that the [=BoS=] lynched the city/encouraged its residents to move somewhere else).
** Although Goodneighbor is to Diamond City what Freeside is to the New Vegas Strip, Goodneighbor is, despite its rough appearance, far more organized, can fend for itself, and is actually ''safe.'' Though similarly to the Followers of the Apocalypse having a presence in Freeside, the Railroad's generally benign (if rather discreet) presence helps as well.
* IronicName: Goodneighbor...well, really ''isn't.'' It's a WretchedHive and most of its population are chem dealers, or homeless drifters. It's also openly hostile to its closest neighbor, Diamond City, since it's mostly made up of people who were expelled from there. However, it's also the only Commonwealth settlement not set up by the player to welcome Ghouls to live alongside non-Ghouls, due to the bigotry held against Ghouls by most people.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Friendly enough on the clock, self serving and egotistical as soon as things look bleak. He grows out of it if you offer him a job in Sanctuary, becoming genuinely satisfied with his job and much happier than he was before.

* WidowWoman: She had a husband who died sometime before the Great War.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Speaks in a deliberately husky and sultry voice in the manner of a stereotypical DragQueen and hates it when anyone suggests she's anything other than a woman.

* DeadpanSnarker: Between the constant innuendos, she's got quite a sassy attitude.
-->'''Sole Survivor:''' So what kind of weapons do you have?
-->'''KL-E-O:''' Anything that can kill a man, I sell. Except suicidal depression. That is unfortunately not packageable.

* {{Foil}}: He can be seen as one to Wadsworth. They're both the only people in Sanctuary known to survive the bombs, both members of marginalized non-human groups with aggressive, non-sentient counterparts and they both make friendly conversation with the Sole Survivor before the end, but they're opposites elsewhere. Wadsworth lives to serve, warned his masters that they were in danger when the news reported nuclear bombing, hasn't suffered much damage from the bombs and coped with the end of America by ignoring it ever happened and resuming his duties. The Vault-Tec Representative only did his job because it was a job, quickly tried to get into Vault 111 when his job was done, turned into a Ghoul and became cynical after watching all of the decay, death and pain the Wasteland has to offer.

* NiceHat: Has a bowler hat atop of his, er, "head".

* NiceHat: He wears a Newsboy Cap.

* NiceHat: He wears a Formal Hat, which is one of the more fancy hats in the game.

* TheConstant: An interesting example in that the main character is the Constant for him as much as the other way around.

* NoNameGiven: His identity is limited to his job description.

* StuffedInTheFridge: [[spoiler:He's kidnapped and tortured by Sinjin, and will be killed unless the Survivor can rescue him in time. It's noticeably difficult to actually save Kent. The trick is to either convince Sinjin to 'kill him last' '''or''' convince the gang to flee. If you convince the gang to flee, you can kill Sinjin with one perfectly timed [[CriticalHit critical]] headshot with your mightiest damage-per-shot gun.]]

* TheComicallySerious[=/=]NoJustNoReaction: Gives these kind of responses should the Sole Survivor speak sarcastically to her.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Not only can you help her rob Hancock, but when he sends you after her you can convince her to walk away in exchange for the remaining caps she has. If you tell Hancock about it, he'll even let it slide.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Even the people at the Memory Den let him stick around pretty much for free, simply because they like him so much.

* {{Fanboy}}: Kent's obsessed with a 1950s-style radio serial called "The Silver Shroud", even collecting props and memorabilia. He's been a dedicated fan of the character since his childhood, going so far as to find and broadcast as much of the surviving episodes as he could find.
