History Characters / FirstEncounterAssaultRecon

* BulletTime: During the final battle, [[spoiler: he is capable of doing this to ''you''.]] The only way to [[spoiler: slow him own is to enter slo-mo yourself.]]

* FightingFromtheInside: "Beckett....HELP ME!"

* NoKillLikeOverkill: What the ''hell'' [[http://images.wikia.com/fear/images/1/13/Replica_Heavy_Riot_Armor.jpg kind of riots]] [[FridgeLogic do these guys have to deal with?]]

Senator David Hoyle wanted to a little shoplifting for Armacham's data and DNA samples of Paxton Fettel and Alma, so he gets these men and ex-NSA operative Gavin Morrison to do the work. A combination of brains and brawn, these guys have Replicas outclassed in a 1:1 fight, which is why the Replicas are so paranoid about these goons. A radio debriefing from Captain Raynes indicates that the whereabouts of the Nightcrawlers, "a permanent free-standing army", is a closely-guarded secret. The Nightcrawlers communicate in a very dull, calm, collected tone, which means that they're seasoned professionals who don't want [[PrimalFear emotions]] to get in the way of their job. Some of them seem to have superhuman reflexes that rival the Point Man's and the Sergeant's.

* ChuckYeager -- All of them. Unlike the Replica, whose OhCrap moments are all over the place, the Nightcrawlers are full of DullSurprise and CasualDangerDialog. The upper echelons of the Nightcrawler group ramp this up; the calm demeanor breaks only at the presence of Alma or Fettel.

** Mind you, that quote is dictated in a heavily bored voice with absolutely no emphasis.

The lesser class. Much like Replica regulars, but with twice the {{badass}}ery. They don't have supernatural abilities like their elite brethren do, but because of their unparalleled durability and overwhelming numbers, they can pose a serious threat.

The greater class. These folks are spread thin but when you encounter one, you had best take plenty of cover while you still can.
* BadassBoast -- To complement their TrashTalk, which includes {{Precision F Strike}}s and [[CountryMatters Pussy Cats]].

* NoSell -- BulletTime doesn't make life any easier for you when the Nightcrawler elites use their own version of it.

--> '''Nightcrawler elite''': We've lost six men to [[OutGhostsAreDifferent the creatures in the shadows]]. Avoid the dark, if you can.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in virtue of Monolith [[CanonDiscontinuity cutting her canonicity off]] in ''F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point'', she appears in ''F.3.A.R.'']]

Senator David Hoyle wanted to steal Armacham's data and DNA samples of Paxton Fettel and Alma. These men and ex-NSA operative Gavin Morrison are the guys he hires for the job. A combination of brains and brawn, these guys can outmatch Replicas in a 1:1 fight, which may be why the Replicas are careful about dealing with these goons. Communication with each other is rather calm, which hints that these men are professionals at their job.

They're led by a certain Nightcrawler Commander. A tough one at that.
* BadassBoast -- Nightcrawler Elites.
--> It's about time you learned some respect.
* BossInMookClothing -- Nightcrawler Elites. Four of them at once is like going head-on with the Nightcrawler Commander.
* BulletTime -- Nightcrawler Elites can and ''will'' use Slow-Mo to dodge your shots.
** NoSell -- We say again: Nightcrawler Elites can [[BulletTime dodge your shots]]!
* ChuckYeager -- Their OhCrap moments are usually substituted with DullSurprise. The upper echelons of the Nightcrawler group are substantially calmer.
** Nightcrawler Elites don't show any sort of feelings. At all. Not even when reporting paranormal incidents.
--> '''Nightcrawler Elite''' ''(laptop report)'': We've lost six men to [[OurGhostsAreDifferent the creatures in the shadows]]. Avoid the dark, if you can.
*** DullSurprise -- Mind you, this is dictated [[DullSurprise in a heavily bored voice with absolutely no emphasis]].
* FacelessGoons -- Just like the Replicas, with the exception of Nightcrawler Elites and the Nightcrawler Commander, they wear what looks like [[GasMaskMooks Gas Masks]].
* FinalBoss -- The Nightcrawler Commander himself.
* SuperSoldiers -- Most likely appropriate for...
** SuperpoweredMooks -- Nightcrawlers who can Slow-Mo. Unless they're just...
** EliteMooks -- There's no mention that they're truly SuperSoldiers like the Replicas. This is the closest you can get with most of them.
* {{Expy}} -- Of the Replicas, except smarter and tougher. The lighter Nightcrawler version is a few HitPoints stronger than its Replica counterpart.
* PrivateMilitaryContractor -- Hired by Sen. Hoyle.
* TrashTalk -- Nightcrawler Elites love this. And colorful language.
--> Let's end this [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]], now!\\
Here, piggy, piggy, piggy!\\
[[CountryMatters Pussy!]]

* BulletTime -- Nightcrawler Elites can and ''will'' use [[BulletTime Slow-Mo]] [[NoSell to dodge your shots]].

* ChuckYeager -- Even in [[OhCrap Oh, Crap!]] moments, these guys rarely panic.
** Nightcrawler Elites don't show any sort of feelings. At all. Not even when reporting something unexplainable and lethal or low on health.
--> '''Laptop report''': We've lost six men to [[OurGhostsAreDifferent the creatures in the shadows]]. Avoid the dark, if you can.

!!'''F.E.A.R. Point Man'''

* FreudianExcuse: His abusive upbringing and playing always-second-best to [[spoiler: Fettel]] cause him immense trauma in F3AR.

* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: In his ending for ''F.E.A.R. 3'' his stoic demeanor actually cracks a little when he [[spoiler: holds his baby sibling.]]

!!Lieutenant Spencer "Spen" Jankowski

!!'''Jin Sun Kwon'''

!!'''Team Coordinator Rowdy Betters'''
* LinkedListClueMethodology: Betters pieces together the truth behind Project Origin as you progress. If you don't guess before he does, he often provides TheReveal if not AsYouKnow.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: F.E.A.R's field coordinator. He appears in person at the very beginning of the game, drives you to Auburn and is not seen in person hence.

!!'''F.E.A.R Sergeant'''

!!'''Lieutenant Steve Chen'''

* MadeOfIron -- Sure, he gets thrown out of a three-story building from an explosion set off by Alma and doesn't suffer lethal injuries at all! And later, he survives a nuclear blast. ''Extraction Point'' has a tunnel bomb flinging him several dozens of feet in the air before he crash lands on a roof on a nearby parking garage.

!!Lt. Spencer "Spen" Jankowski
The first F.E.A.R. team's former point man, until the Point Man came along. A seasoned veteran, his job, like Point Man's, is to scour the Armacham Technology Corporation for Paxton Fettel. His life is cut short when he, along with [[RedShirt a few Delta Force escorts]] went missing. [[spoiler:From then on, he's seen walking and disappearing around the place, leaving hints about what happened throughout the ''F.E.A.R.'' storyline.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], she appears in F.3.A.R.]]

!!'''Rowdy Betters'''

* MadeOfIron -- What Point Man could do, he probably did as good. Although, this time, the Alma meetup was in an office building and the nuclear survival was because he made it underground.

--> He's too fast!
--> We can't stop him!

* OneManArmy -- While his body count isn't at par with Point Man's, he has definitely gone through much more hell for every encounter. That and he has been racking more paranormal kills in one interval than Point Man has fought in one whole episode.
* PlayerCharacter -- In ''Perseus Mandate'', this guy is you.

One of the primary characters in the series, around whom nearly everything revolves, Alma is an extremely powerful psychic (as in [[RealityWarper reality bending]] and [[PersonOfMassDestruction world-ending]] power) who was connected to an Armacham project known as "Origin" to create psychic supersoldiers. She is also [[spoiler: the daughter of Harlan Wade, head of the project]], and [[spoiler: mother of the Point Man and Fettel]]. She was [[spoiler: sealed inside a psychically shielded vault at the age of eight and forced into a coma to keep her immense power under control]], and later was [[spoiler: artificially impregnated with two sons.]] After an incident known as a "Synchronicity Event" wherein she [[spoiler: linked her mind with Paxton Fettel's and killed a number of guards]] she was [[spoiler: killed by shutting off her life support, but her corpse was kept in the shielded vault because releasing it would be....''bad.'']]

* {{Determinator}}: And HOW.

''Extraction Point'' has a tunnel bomb flinging him several dozens of feet in the air before he crash lands on a roof on a nearby parking garage. [[{{Understatement}} Talk about indestructible!]]

** IdenticalStranger -- Reminds Paxton Fettel of the Point Man. [[{{Understatement}} Boy, can't Fettel ever be wrong about that.]]

* TheAtoner: Harlan is the ringleader of a group that represents about half of the original Project Origin staff, whom believe that any attempt to reopen the Vault and restart Project Origin would be a ''[[{{Understatement}} very bad idea.]]'' [[CassandraTruth Not that Genevieve Aristede bothered to listen.]] [[spoiler: In the end, Wade decides to set Alma free, to "save" her from the destruction of the Origin facility. Whatever his intentions, the results are this: He is instantly StrippedToTheBone by Alma, and in death has set loose what [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds may be the]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction harbinger of the apocalypse.]]]]

* EvillyAffable: In F.E.A.R. 3, with a dash of DeadpanSnarker.

* AbelAndCain: It's not precisely clear which brother fills which role, but the dynamic between him and [[spoiler: Fettel]] definitely fits this.

* BulletTime: The Slow-Mo. Part of his enhanced reflex genetic engineering in one of many Armacham Technology Corporation projects.

* ProtagonistWithoutAPast -- [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Paxton Fettel.
* TheReveal -- [[spoiler:He is Alma's first son.]]

* IGotBetter: Sort of. He's still got that whole "being dead" issue, but it's not like that stops the [[spoiler: Wade family]] when they want to get their psychic murder on.

* [[spoiler:IGotBetter]]: [[spoiler:Well, after [[DemonicPossession possessing Foxtrot 813]], that is.]]

* DeadlyGuest: It's first actual appearance involves it slaughtering five ATC troops with about as much effort as crushing ants.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Quite a few of ATC's higher-ups are such
