** Dan Heng vs. Blade: Both are the most calm and reserved members of their teams, have black hair, and in gameplay are [=DPSs=] that utilize the Wind element. [[spoiler:They are also both natives of the Xianzhou Luofu and former members of the High-Cloud Quintet who abandoned their past identities, and both have their own form of immortality. However, Blade was previously driven insane by Jingliu's torture and his complete inability to die, and chose to aid Elio in his machinations in search of a way to finally be [[DeathSeeker free of his curse]], while Dan Heng has no memory of his past life at all and joined the Astral Express because he found security and shelter thanks to them after trying to escape Blade's rampage for so long.]]

* DrivenToMadness: One of his past actions accidentally imbued him with almost CompleteImmortality. While it is typical for physical immortality to come at a cost, he normally wouldn't be old enough to be suffering from Mara, the [[TheFogOfAges immortal equivalent to senility]]. The main reason he's suffering from Mara despite being a relatively young immortal is due to Jingliu, who tortured him to death thousands of times as punishment for [[spoiler:trying to bring a mutual friend BackFromTheDead]].

** Story-wise, this is how things work out in the present day as an active Stellaron Hunter [[ScrewDestiny who intends to defy her preordained fate]] of having a presumably short lifespan due to her genetically modified condition. For someone hellbent on curing her Entropy Loss Syndrome condition and trying to become someone who won't always resort to violence as the only option for her problems, none of her out-of-the-script attempts to work on her objective (e.g. revealing her true identity to the Trailblazer before the moment allowed by Elio's script) are successful, making her [[YouCantFightFate incapable of doing things on her own volition]] despite her drive and best efforts to defy fate.

* ScrewDestiny: As a member of interplanetary outlaws who [[YouCantFightFate don't exactly believe in the concept of altering destinies]], Firefly is surprisingly motivated to escape her [[YourDaysAreNumbered Entropy Loss Syndrome condition]] which comes as a side effect of her original genetic modification as a SuperSoldier. However, her efforts to defy fate now and then up before the moment Elio's script allows her to do things in Penacony keeps on failing somehow, as described in the {{Irony}} section above.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Sam shows shades of being a war veteran who was never deprogrammed and could legitimately be one if "he" was a former product of the Iron Cavalry. Combine this background with the lore behind the destruction of Glamoth due to the Swarm's relentless invasion, it becomes obvious how displeased Sam is with "his" destructive capabilities, being a soldier from a lost war now left in a far more complicated universe where not everything can be solved with excessive force.
