History Characters / HighOnLife

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SarahSilverman

* GrapplingHookPistol Has a tether ability that acts like a grappling hook on platforms and ziplines.

* LivingWeapon: They're aliens that look like guns, can fire like guns, and are wielded like guns. Knifey also counts, being a sentient knife that can be used to either stab or traverse around the environment with his [[WhipItGood tether]] ability, but an optional conversation has him questioning whether or not he's actually the same species as the others, given he [[CloseRangeCombatant can't shoot like them]] and can barely move on his own, resorting to trying to beg others to violently stab him into others to attack, which he [[AxCrazy greatly enjoys]].

* WhipItGood: Has a tether ability that acts like a grappling hook on platforms and ziplines.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Played With. He's ''300'' in alien years, but looks, talks, and acts like a middle-aged human.

* MeaningfulName: The name of their species, Gatlien, is a portmanteau of a Gatling gun, a rapid-firing multiple-barrel firearm, and alien.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: DoubleSubverted. The start of the game has the player character be allowed to choose their gender and ethnicity from a number of preset appearances, as Lizzie is snorting some powerful cocaine to pre-emptivly celebrate them getting the house to themselves for a week and having trouble focusing on their sibling's appearance, and this affects their hands' appearance during the opening invasion, but once they successfully find Gene in Blim city, his full-body bounty Hunter suit comes with an opaque helmet and hand coverings, and is worn for the rest of the game, meaning that their appearance only really matters for a short while.

* InterspeciesRomance: Strikes one up with an alien named Tweeg as part of her own ventures into the city, the game kind of delves into the whirlwind romance angle of such a thing, as they try to make it work even with BizarreAlienBiology in play. [[spoiler:They eventually break up, not due to how different they are in this regard but because Tweeg proclaims in a boldfaced way how he is a flakey, greedy jerkass, which overrides his affection for her when it matters and almost does(and if choices are made, actually does) sell out theor location to the [=G3=] ]].

* BewareTheSillyOnes: very much quirky and dumb, but it accentuates hiw heartless and petulant their criminal activities are

* SitcomArchNemesis: a complicated version with Gene. They are constantly at each others throats with their verbal sparring, but while Gene seems to take more fun with it and grows fond of both Liz and the Bounty Hunter fairly quickly. Lizzie is far more reluctant to welcome Gene into their home and crash on their couch, viewing him as someone who just wants the Bounty Hunter to live vicariously through. As Gene continuously questions her decisions out of concern for her, she slowly warms up to him as a father figure and eventually even helps him in his project to revitalize [[spoiler: Lezduit.]]
* SoProudOfYou: Lizzie tells the Bounty Hunter that she's proud of them and that she's happy they're doing some good during their adventure. She clairifies that her being proud of her sibling for going out and doing something and Gene's squatting in their home are separate situations.

* SitcomArchNemesis: a Downplayed version with Gene. They are constantly at each others throats with their verbal sparring, but Gene seems to take more fun with it and grows fond of both Liz and the Bounty Hunter fairly quickly. Lizzie is far more reluctant to welcome Gene into their home and crash on their couch, but warms up to him as a father figure and eventually even helps him revitalize [[spoiler: Lezduit.]]

** the loot you get is acquired through obviously living organisms shaped like boxes which are stripped down to eyes and bone when forced open, later in the game you can warp in [[spoiler: A small household from a different planet who reveal that they are in fact sapient creatures, the joke is that its all too tempting for the player to murder this family and gain whatever loot they hold, but your fully able to spare them. Either way it doesn't affect anything about the game, as you still need to open these containers to progress]]

%%* BloodKnight:

!!Garmantuous
->'''Voiced by:''' Hal Lublin

->'''Voicedby:''' Tim Robinson

* SpottingTheThread: At first, he likes Dr. Joopy as much or more than Kenny, but once he notices him getting his kids' names wrong he ''immediately'' catches on to the ruse and tells the player to shoot him.

* PokemonSpeak: He can only say his name. [[spoiler:And "We did it!" in the ending, should you shove him inside Garmantuous instead of Kenny]].

* CatchphraseInsult: He likes to call the player "jabroni."

* ChemicallyInducedInsanity: Tries to gas the Bounty Hounter with a highly dangerous drug in an attempt to kill them, or at least induce an acid trip an severely weaken them. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard It backfires]].

* LoserProtagonist: Implied, the Player Character is to be in their adulthood (either as a late teen or young adult) and they spend their time playing video games in their room. Lizzie also says that their father's parting words were that he never loved the Player Character (Although the way she says it implies that shes lying) and the note on the fridge says their parents are disappointed that the Player Character is doing nothing with their lives except playing video games.

* TheSymbiote: An optional conversation with Kenny has him lampshade how their species has basically evolved to be useful as FantasticFirearms for other species to use in combat, justifying the odd quirk of their evolutionary development by pointing out how it's a vast multiverse, and literally''anything'' can happen in it. Notably, the Gatlien team the Bounty Hunter assembles and actually forms a beneficial trusting relationship with proves to be vastly more effective that the Gatliens forced into servitude as the standard firearm of G3 {{Mooks}}. They are brain-dead and forcibly grafted into said Merkaloids' arms, permanently preventing their hands from being used for anything but shooting a singular Gatlien again, and apparently cannot use the Gatliens' trick holes. The Bounty Hunter meanwhile, can freely swap between multiple different modes of firing, enable them to become a OneManArmy because of the versatility caused by working alongside their Gatlien partners in tandem.

* LittleSisterHeroine: Downplayed, as neither her nor the player's ages are clarified.
