History Characters / HiFiRush

* MustacheVandalism: Though intentional for Pmidge, obtaining every graffiti picture results in him painting Chai with a banana head on the floor of the Hideout, with no permission from anyone else.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: When Chai recalls words of encouragement from his friends as he tries to break through the force field in Track 11, the best he can do for CNMN is the robo-shrink's remark of "I like your pants", which is "close enough".

* TeamNormal: A villainous example. Korsica is the only Vandelay director who lacks any cybernetic augmentations or enhancements, simply just being a very good fighter. Interestingly, she loses this status after her HeelFaceTurn, as she has to get a device implanted in her chest to resuscitate her after Kale's attempt on her life as well as arm augmentations and some sort of artificial skin across the left side of her torso and left shoulder.

* ComplexityAddiction: Ironically enough for somebody whose main motivation can be tied down to being too lazy to put in the true effort to be a corporate manager of a multi-national business, Kale ''loves'' this, and has several plans or designs that are extremely roundabout and overblown for achieving simple objectives, willing to devote massive amounts of time, money and resources to achieving them when there are simpler alternatives. Using SPECTRA to [[MundaneUtility brainwash the public into maintain total mindless loyalty to the Vandelay brand]] being one of the main offenders. [[DumbassHasAPoint Chai]] and the rest of TheTeam are dumbstruck when they realise how simple his endgame is for all the work he's put into it. However, said complexity also means they fail to anticipate his plans and backup plans because of how convoluted they are, resulting in them accidentally activating SPECTRA through following strange signals to locked rooms around the Island and activating them to see what's causing them. Upon realising that Kale effectively used them as a fallback plan if he couldn't activate SPECTRA himself, CNMN lampshades his propensity for this.

** Not only is his use of the Armstrong Project the reason for Chai's cybernetic augmentation, Kale's personal pettiness and mishandling of Chai's belongings is the direct cause of Chai getting his music player grafted into chest, granting the would be trash collector ThePowerOfRock. Furthermore Chai originally had no real personal stake in the conflict; had Kale simply let Chai go, he might have won, but instead, he mandates that his forces relentlessly pursue Chai to eliminate him for being a defect. This causes Chai to meet Peppermint, undergo CharacterDevelopment, and take Kale's threat seriously.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Going by most of the tropes listed you'd think he would be incredibly ineffective when personally dealing with the heroes. You'd be very, ''very'' wrong. Whenever he actually bothers to get his hands dirty things quickly go FromBadToWorse for the heroes. From briefly capturing Chai to nearly killing Korsika to sicking a giant killer robot on the heroes that takes all of them to takedown, Kale proves himself to be particularly dangerous. His biggest problem is that he finds ways to haft-ass the above as well.

** His constant badgering of Korsica leads the woman to be a bit more receptive to the resistance's assertions that SPECTRA is dangerous. Effectively all Kale had to do to win was just make sure Korsica was loyal to him; even if the resistance captured her, it wouldn't mean anything given she didn't have an access key and kept the password to her login for SPECTRA in her head. If she clammed up, there would be no way for the resistance to stop SPECTRA. Instead, he almost comically indulges in insulting the job she does and shattering her idealized view of Vandelay at almost every opportunity, ensuring she's bitter and jaded enough to actually take the resistance's warnings seriously.
