History Characters / FrontMission3

* RedOniBlueOni: [[HairTriggerTemper Kazuki]] [[HotBlooded Takemura]] from ''3'' is the red to... nearly everyone else.

* SwordAndGun: More specifically, shotgun and fist.

General:

** [=ROF=] Up I: Increases the damage output of burst weapons by firing +20% additional bullets. A combo attack of three [=ROF=] Up Is with a machine gun results in 36 bullets being fired at the enemy. Compare this with [=ROF=] Up III which takes up three program slots but only fires 20 bullets with a machine gun.
[[GameBreaker And if you combine this with a shotgun...]]

Mayer is an intelligence operative hailing from the CIU (Central Intelligence Unit); she's sent by the OCU to check out the situation in Japan. First meeting Alisa and Kazuki a light tower in Shanghai to tell them the whereabouts of MIDAS, she becomes the 2nd Missiler in Alisa's story, piloting an Enyo Mk109.

* OneHitKill: The Enyo Mk109's '''Leg Smash''' is one for Leg parts; hitting Melee wanzers with this renders them dead in the water, and you'd have to actively get in their range for them to be threats. At the point in the game that you get her in, such a skill can prove valuable if she learns it.

* BigSisterInstinct: She is also quite fond of Alisa, just like Kazuki. [[spoiler: They are of the same artificial origin after all]].
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: At one point in the DHZ storyline, she promptly [[CurbStompBattle curb stomps]] two wanzers - one with a club and the other with a machinegun - ''with an unarmed Drake [=M2C=]''.
* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler:She suffers a pretty bad one late in Alisa's storyline after Lukav practically picked through her mind to learn how to make MIDAS. She's on her way to recovery at the end of the game; however, her stunted dialogue implicates that it'll be a long one.]]

* DegradedBoss: Jose will utterly trash your Wanzers when he's an enemy (having a class C skill in machine guns, a very useful weapon, certainly doesn't hurt), but once he joins you, he suddenly becomes a shadow of his former self. Probably because you beat him up in that same mission.
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In Emma story, if you choose to invade Taal Base trough the tunnel instead of using the uphill path, Jose will wipe the floor with the mighty Purple Haze during a cutscene. You can slaughter him in a ''single turn'' once it ends.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: He confessed to Kwang, the son of the late Vice-Chairman Ming that he was the one responsible for the death of his parents and he takes full responsibility of the act. Kwang is actually impresed that Li didn't try to hide it from him and that he fights to atone for the act]].

* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: He won't joins if you recruited Jose Estrada.

* NotSoStoic: Liu tries to act like a ColdSniper most of the time, but he ends up showing a wide range of emotions over the course of the story [[spoiler: These emotions are the reason he and the rest of the Real Numbers were deemed flawed. Liu's bitterly aware of this, and it's the reason he's always in denial about his own feelings. Least till Mayer finally gets him to open up a bit]].

* EleventhHourRanger: She joins up late in-game as a misilier and she needs to have enough training to pick up some battle skills.

* BadassNormal: He may seem silly and all, but that won't stop him from putting holes on experienced army soldiers, special forces, and [[spoiler: man-made humans]].

** [=ROF=] Up I: Increases the damage output of burst weapons by firing +20% additional bullets. A combo attack of three [=ROF=] Up Is with a machine gun results in 36 bullets being fired at the enemy. Compare this with [=ROF=] Up III which takes up three program slots but only fires 20 bullets with a machine gun.

* DamselInDistress: Both routes put her squarely in this role -- which means she cycles in and out of your party when you're on her route, and is the driving force of the party's pursuit of Lukav in Emma's route. A handful of missions on her route also force her to be deployed, and in at least one, it's game over if you lose her. [[DamselOutofDistress Thankfully, by that point, she can just as easily hold her own in a wanzer.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: They save the team a couple of times in Alisa's story. Naturally, they're being paid for it.
* BloodKnight: Emilio is the team's most sadistic member and enjoys fighting and killing his enemies.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Their moralism revolves around money.
* HonorBeforeReason: In Emma's story, Rudolf and Rebecca will fight kazuki's team in Shanghai's airport to avenge their fallen comrades.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: In Emma's story, they are a team of recurring bosses with distinctive personalities.
* TheStoic: Rebecca is aloof and serious.

* GlassCannon: His Shangdi 1 has the accuracy to provide damaging rifle fire, but down it goes should it take around two to three body fist or missile hits.

* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler:She suffers a pretty bad one late in Alisa's storyline after Lukav practically picked through her mind to learn how to make MIDAS. She's on her way to recovery at the end of the game.]]

* ItBeganWithaTwistofFate: Early on, Ryogo asks him to accompany him in his delivery job. If Kazuki goes with him, Emma's storyline will be played; otherwise, it's Alisa's storyline.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In Emma story, if you choose to invade Taal Base trough the tunnel instead of using the uphill path, Jose will wipe the floor with the mighty Purple Haze during a cutscene. You can slaughter him in a `single turn` once it ends.

* WakeUpCallBoss: In Alisa's story, Purple Haze is one of your earliest opponents. Since at this point in a new game you'd be very lacking in skills, fending them off proves to be a ``very`` troublesome affair.

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:More like "Alisa, I am your sister". This reveal unfortunately comes right after MIDAS is detonated over Batangas, and Alisa [[WhatTheHellHero chews her out royally for being responsible for the bomb existing in the first place]]]].

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:He's an Imaginary Numbers, but he's known to be a failed subject.]]
* TheStoolPigeon: In Emma's story, he intended to spill the beans on the IN project and Bal Gorbovsky's involvement.

* StalkerWithACrush: No, she isn't one, but she can have one if she wins the Miss Teihoku popularity contest in the DHZ route. A certain "Dr. K" will send her a creepy mail declaring his love, to which you can reply either positively (which declares Alisa's upcoming debut as a pop idol; actually written by a naughty Miho) or negatively. Choosing the former will [[spoiler: cause Dr. K to reveal his true name, and is actually a wanted person by the Japanese Police]].

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:More like "Alisa, I am your sister" variation in Alisa's story]].

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In Emma story, if you choose to invade Taal Base trough the tunnel instead of using the uphill path, Jose will wipe the floor with the mighty Purple Haze during a cutscene. Afterwards, you can kill him in a turn once the cutscene ends.

* {{Expy}}: he looks like the Philippine Hero Apolinario Mabini even his portrait is looking sideways.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: She gets very depressed upon knowing that she and Emma are Imaginary Numbers. She gets better]].

* CasualDangerDialog: What does she say when Kazuki and Liu narrowly rescue her from a plummet to a ravine?

* ArmorPiercingSlap: He delivers a very crunchy one to [[spoiler:Yun]] after the group gets into an unnecessary fight because of that person's manipulation.
