History Characters / FarCry3

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's a barefooter, fully channeling her [[BuffySpeak tribalness]] as a Rakyat.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: He's noticeably barefoot.

* OnlySaneMan: Deconstructed, Vaas's "definition of insanity" speech shows that Vaas view himself as the sanest man on the Rook islands because he's erratic and spontaneous in comparison to everyone else since they are doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. In reality, he's a ruthless pirate who does whatever he wants because he enjoys it.

-->'''Hoyt''': (''addressing a bunch of captives from Beras Town'') [[NoIndoorVoice I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR!]] THAT ANYONE- ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis ANYONE]]!'' WHO HELPS THOSE ''SAVAGES'' OUT IN THE WOODS! [[MakeAnExampleOfThem WILL END UP LIKE OUR FRIENDS HERE!]] IS MY POINT COMING ACROSS?! (''to one villager'') '''YOU!!! RUN!!!''' (''Hoyt fires a machine gun in the air, scaring the villagers across a rice field, so that two of them get blown up by landmines, and the remaining man ends up sprinting off into the pirates' territory'') POINT MADE! (''to his men'') HAVE FUN, BOYS!

--->'''Hoyt:''' ''"I've been doing this long before you were born, kid."''

** 1: Keep his product (drugs and slaves) intact. They can [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape the slaves]], but [[PragmaticVillainy take care not to damage them]].\\
2: Kill any native on sight.\\
3: [[ItsAllAboutMe Give all the profits to Hoyt]].\\
Any man who breaks one of these rules can expect to be burnt alive.

* SuddenlyShouting: Does this [[spoiler: when he reveals to Jason he was in on his and Sam's plot to kill him.]]
-->'''Hoyt:''' [[spoiler:[[DidYouActuallyBelieve How stupid do you think I am?!]]]]

-->'''Hoyt:''' ''"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!'' ''It is by my grace that your head isn't impaled on the antenna of my car! Therefore, I would like it if you gave a fuck about Jason Brody!"''

* BadassBaritone: He has a deep, mature voice, and he's an African warrior of the Rakyat tribe.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He tries sometimes to make civil conversation with his captives, but he's so fast to switch into swearing and threatening violence that he rarely comes across as sincere.

* MachoLatino: Apart from his bouts of [[PsychopathicManchild immaturity,]] he's one violent Hispanic pirate who loves asserting his dominance over his captives.

* OnlySaneMan: Deconstructed, Vaas's "definition of insanity" speech shows that Vaas view himself as the sanest man on the rook islands because he's erratic and spontaneous in comparison to everyone else since they are doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. In reality, he's a ruthless pirate who does whatever he wants because he enjoys it.

** He knew full well who [[spoiler: "Foster" and Riley really were from the start,]] and forces the former to [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique brutally beat the latter]] as a twisted form of psychological torture.

* DeathBySex: [[spoiler:In the "Join Citra" ending. Actually, the sex doesn't kill him, but he does get a knife plunged into his chest once Citra's had her way with him.]]

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:DeathBySex only happens to him in one ending because he murdered Liza and his remaining friends and family in cold blood at Citra's urging. As shaky as his mental state had become (''not'' helped by the staggering quantity of drugs in his system), it was his choice to make.]]

* StrawNihilist: Prior to the events described in TheAntiNihilist above, Jason slowly starts growing [[GoingNative more enamored]] with the Rakyat's belief in this lifestyle, and becomes [[ItGetsEasier more willing to rationalize]] to all the killing he is forced to do. [[spoiler: In the "Kill Liza" ending, he fully embraces this lifestyle [[KickTheDog at the cost of his friends' lives]]. He earns a [[DeathBySex post-coital]] stabbing [[KarmicDeath for his choice]]]].

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness To Jason in the]] [[DeathBySex "Kill Liza" ending]]. Accidentally on the receiving end from Dennis in the "Save Friends" ending.]]

* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: To the point where she [[spoiler:kidnaps Jason's girlfriend, surviving brother, and the rest of his friends, [[SadisticChoice and forces him to murder them all to cut his ties to his old life.]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder And then murdering Jason if he goes through with killing them,]] [[DeathBySex and subsequently has sex with her]], [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness believing she's been impregnated with "The Perfect Warrior", who she wishes to lead the people of Rakyat]].]]

* BareYourMidriff: Most of the time. In two instances, [[MsFanservice she bares more than just her midriff]].

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: [[spoiler:Averted hardcore. Keith's (presumed) rape at the hands of Buck is portrayed realistically and sympathetically for him and is one of the most disturbing things in the entire game.]]

* DramticIrony: [[spoiler:Instead of Vaas' pirates attacking him for harboring Jason's friends like Earnhardt feared, it is the Rakyat instead.]]

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:It's largely believed that Jason had ''already'' killed Hoyt before the BossBattle even began. It's just that Jason has become so much of a BloodKnight at this point, that his mind just couldn't comprehend that Hoyt: the man responsible for dragging him and his friends through so much pain and anguish [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty could just die so easily.]] Resulting in his mind piecing together a tougher boss fight when in-reality Jason was just stabbing at Hoyts' bodyguards: which are shown when the Boss Battle ends.]]

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He tries to pull this on Jason during their duel by claiming he has powerful friends who'll hunt Jason down in case of Hoyt's death. Jason assures him [[BadassBoast they won't find anything left of him]].

* AllAmazonsWantHercules: A rare male example; Buck is a sociopathic soldier and is shown to be attracted to aggressive men. He chose Keith because of his combative nature and eventually gains an interest in Jason after putting him through multiple deathtraps for the artefact.

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: He's a rapist and necrophiliac.

* AnimalMotif: Deer, as shown by his design, name and lustful behaviour.

2: [[KillEmAll Kill any native on sight]].\\

* InstantExpert: [[spoiler:Despite having no experience piloting one, Riley is able to fly one to escape from Hoyt's men]].

* AmbiguousDisorder: It is not ruled out that Jason may have suffered some kind of PTSD after the horrific events he witnessed throughout the game.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:The ''Control'' DLC reveals that Wilis is one of the cause of the nuclear ending in ''5'' as the nukes were likely launched from Kyrat as Pagan Min's retaliation for America's presence in his country]].

* GoKartingWithBowser: It's implied in the ''Far Cry 6'' Vaas DLC that Vaas and Dr. Earnhardt had a good relationship, often tripping on drugs together, which accounts for why Earnhardt never gets attacked by Vaas' pirates.

** A figment of Citra is the main antagonist of the first DLC for ''VideoGame/FarCry6'', constantly tormenting Vaas of his failures. She is also fought on two encounters, once as a boss and another during the final segment of the DLC as a BossInMookClothing in later waves.

** In the ''Far Cry 6'' Vaas DLC, she also acts this way towards Vaas, even at one point [[spoiler: stabbing him repeatedly in the chest for being "out of control" when catching him mid-coitus with a random local woman.]]

* BreakoutVillain: Vaas was so popular with the creators, they released a live-action miniseries starring him and he eventually becomes playable in ''VideoGame/FarCry6''.

** In the ''Far Cry 6'' Vaas DLC, it's shown that Vaas started an uprising against Hoyt after he and his men were hired to wipe out the natives and take their land. As Vaas pointed out to Hoyt's man after shooting him in the leg, Vaas and his pirates ''are'' the natives.

** Is the main character of the ''Far Cry 6'' Vaas DLC.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Apparently, this is how Jason finishes him off in a hallucination sequence. [[spoiler:However, it wasn't until the DLC of ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' where it is revealed that he is still alive, so his encounter with Jason may have been different]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:After almost ten years that the character was believed dead after being supposedly killed by Jason, a DLC of ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' confirmed that he survived his encounter with Jason, remaining completely undefeated and without having received any kind of comeuppance for his actions.]]

* MadeOfIron: The ''Far Cry 6'' Vaas DLC shows that, at some point in the past, he survived being stabbed multiple times in the chest by Citra for being "out of control". Not only does he not die, but the injuries are insignificant enough that a couple days later he's much more worried about his deteriorating relationship with Citra rather than any physical consequences of being stabbed.[[spoiler: The secret ending of the DLC also implies Vaas also survived being stabbed multiple times by Jason Brody.]]

* PromotedToPlayable: Vaas is playable in the ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' DLC "Insanity". In said DLC, Vaas is trapped within his own subconscious and must find a way to escape, all while a figment of Citra tormenting him of his failures.

** Downplayed in the ''Far Cry 6'' Vaas DLC and prequel comic. Both seem to show that Vaas was using drugs and engaging in piracy long before he ever met Hoyt, but Citra did manipulating him into executing several people (who they were isn't shown, as Vaas sees them all as Jason Brody) which didn't help his sanity any. Vaas is also initially shown trying to protect the Rook Islands from Hoyt, before Hoyt somehow managed to turn him to his side.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He really was a ordinary guy but the pressure given by Citra and Hoyt's drugs has destroyed his sanity, turning him into [[AxCrazy homicidal maniac.]] Downplayed in the ''Far Cry 6'' prequel comic and Vaas DLC; both indicate Vaas was using drugs and engaging in piracy from a young age, but Citra's emotional manipulation did eventually end up driving him to work for Hoyt and going completely AxCrazy.

* ILoveNuclearPower: He dismisses warnings not to eat fish tainted by nuclear waste as left-wing nonsense. [[CloudCuckooLander The remainder of the handbook entry trails off worryingly.]]

* NiceHat: Wears a beige beanie.

* RantInducingSlight: Addressing his Chinese knife as just a knife and not getting it for him are quickfire ways to set him off.

* PrettyBoy: He is a very handsome man, and therefore numerous characters show clear attraction to him. When he first meets Buck, he takes a moment to eye up Jason before speaking, and clearly wants to take him in along with [[spoiler:Keith]] as a sex slave. Similarly, Citra ends up falling in love with him as he starts to prove himself. Also, when walking around the Privateers Compound, Jason will get random quips from soldiers.

* ExactWords: [[spoiler: When Jason retrieves the knife and tries to leave with Keith per their deal, Buck blocks the exit and explains that he had promised that Keith could leave ''with'' Jason, but he had no intention of letting Jason leave in the first place.]]

* AnimalisticAbilities: Jason is given a PowerTattoo that is said to simultaneously grant him the power of a shark, a heron and a spider. In game mechanics terms, each animal is associated with a branch of the SkillTree: Shark skills grant endurance, toughness and better healing, Heron skills grant better handling of long-range weapons and improve mobility, and Spider skills grant better stealth and more efficient exploration.

* ProperlyParanoid: When Jason asks if his friends can lay low at Dr. Earnhardt's place, he initially refuses, explaining the huge risk that comes with providing shelter for Vaas' missing captives, which is perfectly understandable. [[spoiler:And while it isn't Vaas' pirates who attack his house and kidnap Jason's friends, he turns out to be right that sheltering them would ultimately bring trouble.]]

* KnifeNut: One on his vest, and one in his boot that he brings to kill Hoyt. To see how well that goes, check DeathByIrony.

* KnifeNut: The only weapon he is ever seen using is a combat knife, and his interactions with Jason are centered around an obsession with an ancient Chinese dagger, which Buck considers a work of beautiful art.

* KnifeNut: [[spoiler: He whips out a wicked combat knife to murder Sam in one swift stroke, then dislodges the blade from Sam's throat to cut off Jason's finger. He proceeds to back up his swagger with the most difficult, intense knife fight of the game.]]
--->'''Hoyt:''' ''"I've been doing [[KnifeFight this]] long before you were born, kid."''

* KnifeNut: The DLC chapter has Leonard reveal that he has a lot of knives on his person.

* ProfessionalKiller
* TheMafiya
* KnifeNut: Appears to be one, judging by how many mooks he kills in cutscenes this way.
* MrFanservice
* SleevesAreForWimps: His default costume.

* TheStoic

* WhoWearsShortShorts: He's wearing shorts instead of trousers when you meet up with him at his house, [[spoiler:right before you kill him.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: Buck's appearance in the game is the catalyst that turns Jason into a ruthless killer. [[spoiler: His sex crimes are played completely seriously and Buck has complete control over Jason, threatening to kill Keith if Jason doesn't comply with his demands. Once Jason retrieves the knife and reunites with Keith, Buck betrays him and tries to make Jason his new sex slave, forcing Jason to fight for his life and execute Buck with the ancient Chinese dagger.]]

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His first name is pronounced similarly to the {{Joisey}} pronunciation of "hurt", and his last name is similar to the word [[CirclingVultures "vulture"]]. No, [[Series/SpittingImage he's not a nice South African.]]

* OrcusOnHisThrone: He's Vaas' boss but allows his [[TheDragon Dragon]] to operate under his own discretion and doesn't become a direct threat to Jason until [[spoiler: Vaas is killed]].
