History Characters / GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2021

* TheHeart: He's very focused on keeping the team together, and [[spoiler:In the final mission gets credited for keeping the Guardians together.]] He also tends to try to talk them away from their worse instinct and is always the first to show concern about their mental wellbeing.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Peter is half Spatoi.

* BloodKnight: He lives for a good fight.

* BadLiar: If you try to sell him as a monster to Lady Hellbender, she reveals that he told her their plan to free him an hour later. In fairness Rocket had told Peter that he wasn't a monster and it wasn't something Groot could fake.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics she has FlamingHair, but in the game she sports normal, dark blue hair.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Was Mercurian in the comics, but is Kree in the game. Though it was mentioned she might've been conceived on Mercury.

* BarrierWarrior: [[spoiler: When empowered by the soul stone, she makes barriers strong enough to block Magus' attacks]]
* PowerGlows: [[spoiler: After being empowered by her extended possession of the Soul stone, her hair glows gold.]]

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics she's a enemy/rival of [[Comics/TotallyAwesomeHulk Amadeus Cho]] and has never encountered the Guardians. In this game, she becomes the Guardians' most persistent foe.

* AdaptationalAmalgamation: Like the MCU version she is an alien and her personality is very different from the comic version, but like the latter she is skilled in combat and has her comic background of being trained by the Priests of Pama while being known as the Celestial Madonna.

A space lama the Guardians find in the Quarantine Zone.

* While Nikki's age in the comics varies and depends on the specific universe she's from, she's generally not portrayed as a child like she is here.

* CainAndAbel: Much like the films she and Gamora have a complicated relationship [[spoiler:that ended when Gamora killed her, an act which haunts her.]]

* TheComicallySerious: Much of the humor with Drax comes with his stoic, blase tone even as he suggests weird things or reacts to all the zaniness around him.

Leader of the Team. This version of Peter was kidnapped by the Chitauri when he was 13. He escaped from their prison and joined the ravagers under Yondu. Alongside the Ravagers he fought in the Galactic Civil war, particularly on the infamous battle of Mercury, before breaking away from them and sending Yondu to prison when the later's immorality crossed a line. With a ravager bounty on his head, he was almost captured by Rocket and Groot, but convinced them to come work with him, founding the Guardians.

** After the end of the game he has a long session in his room where he's panicking over [[spoiler:Having to be a parental figure to a now orphaned Nikki, and his desire to do well by her, while being aware that he's far from great parental material himself]].

* KilledOfForReal: [[spoiler:She did die in the QZ. Peter and Nikki both have to come to terms with it during the game's climax.]]

Tropes about the Guardians of the Galaxy

* {{Jerkass}}: Rocket has an abrasive personality, and the one most often at odd with the rest of the team. Him and Peter eventually [[spoiler:have a falling out]] midway through the game. He has little regards for other people's possessions.

* TheLancer: Butts head the most with Peter, and has a contrasting personality to him.

Aritficial intelligence and collective of Xandar's greatest minds, the Worldmind leads the people of Xandar and the Nova Corp.

* AdaptationalOriginConnection: In the game he founded the Church[[spoiler:with Adam Warlock while also being the one who seperated Magus from him.]]

* AdaptationaAmalgamation: Like the MCU version she is an alien and her personality is very different from the comic version, but like the latter she is skilled in combat and has he rcomic background of being trained by the Priests of Pama while being known as the Celestial Madonna.

** Drax, like his MCU self, is an Alien and not a human. His personality (and appearance) however is closer to that of his comic self, see AdaptationalPersonalityChange.

12 year old daughter of Ko-Rel and eager cadet of the Nova Corp.

Old priest of a religion that boomed and faded during the war. Raker is looking for his "golden god". his church soon proves to be a threat for the entire galaxy.

An alien warrior. Thanos massacred all his people during war, including Drax' daughter and wife. Drax eventually sought out and killed the Mad Tyrant - [[UncertainDoom or so everyone says]]. Drax himself is not so sure, having lost consciousness during the fight and kept seeking the truth of the titan's faith, engaging in wholesale slaughter of anyone who might know or be near anyone who knew of Thanos' fate. Eventually disgusted with his own action, he turned himself in to the Nova Corp and served a sentence in the Kyln. Now freed, he was invited to join the team by Peter.

* TheCasanova: Though we don't see it, many character talk of Peter's habit of seducing women, often for one night stands. He's apparently fairly successful at it, though we're told his attempts to do it with Mantis when he first met her didn't pan out so well. [[spoiler:Though Mantis mentions that in another timeline she's his ex-wife]].

!!Cadet Nikki Gold

* RagtagBunchOfMisfit: A human former pirate, the world's deadliest woman, a talking tree, a foul-mouthed raccoon and a literal minded ProudWarriorRaceGuy.
