History Characters / Iji

* AlmightyJanitor: To an extent. She's no stronger than usual if you fight her, but if you keep the truce, [[spoiler: she kills Krotera with]] an MPFB Devastator, which is ''not'' a Soldier-level weapon. Also, she seems to be able to remain standing while shooting it, meaning that she's almost certainly stronger than Iji.

** [[spoiler:He also suffers a breakdown and kills himself if you refuse to fight him the second time]]

* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Her kill count is over one thousand; so high, the number [[{{Cap}} wrapped back to zero.]]

* FinalBoss

* TakeUpMySword

* YouAreInCommandNow

* WildHair

* ActionGirl

* BreakTheCutie: ''So'' much.
** CorruptTheCutie: After getting a few kills too many.
* {{Determinator}}: And how.
* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Anomaly]]: [[spoiler:Except Ansaksie on a pacifist run.]] She never actually told them her name, though.
* TheHero
* [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD]]: [[spoiler:She goes through a complete mental breakdown if Dan dies, including ''[[MummiesAtTheDinnerTable talking to him as if he's still there]]''.]]

* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: If you max out her health stat.

* LastOfTheirKind: While the number isn't easily discernible, there aren't that many humans left alive after the Alpha Strike.

* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Actually an in-game rank.

* SanitySlippage

* JerkAss: Despite being helpful in some ways, he's not very popular due to some of the things he says. [[spoiler:It's partly [[JerkassFacade an act he puts up to avoid being seen as weak]], partly [[BrokenBird the effect of having to survive the six months Iji's slept through]].]]

* LastOfTheirKind: See the above entry on Iji.
* MissionControl
* [[spoiler:MummiesAtTheDinnerTable]]: [[spoiler:If Dan dies, Iji is so in denial she'll pretend he's still there.]]
* NonActionGuy
* [[spoiler:PlotlineDeath]]: [[spoiler:Although you can save him through creative trapmine use.]]

* ThemeNaming

* [[spoiler:MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: Her ribbons aren't actually there. Iji's just hallucinating.]]
* PosthumousCharacter
* ThemeNaming

* PosthumousCharacter

* ThemeNaming

* [[spoiler:SkippableBoss]]: [[spoiler:As long as you stay Innocent (No kills) or Pacifist (Very few kills) in the first three sectors, you can bypass the battle with him through a truce made with his men. If you don't skip him, even if you don't technically kill him (by clever use of the turrets or taking an explosive to the face while near him), Iji's guilt will count Krotera as one of her kills.]]

* [[spoiler:LastOfTheirKind]]

* [[spoiler:LastOfTheirKind]]: [[spoiler:Along with Vateilika, the diary writer and her girlfriend are the only Tasen to survive the game if you kept the truce, except in Version 1.6, where keeping the truce on a pacifist run lets more Tasen survive.]]

* AMotherToHerMen
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]

* [[spoiler:BreakTheHaughty]]: [[spoiler:He breaks down and [[DrivenToSuicide kills himself out of shame]] if Iji manages to get around his second fight.]]

* [[spoiler:SkippableBoss]]: [[spoiler:Through some DungeonBypass.]]

* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown]]: [[spoiler:Activate a single checkpoint before going into the second fight with Asha. Die to him. Activate a second checkpoint. Die to him again. Then challenge him one last time. His reaction is PRICELESS]].

* [[spoiler:YourHeadAsplode]]: [[spoiler:Inverted; his head is the only part of him that ''doesn't'' explode messily when he dies]].

* [[spoiler:BoomHeadshot]]: [[spoiler:How she dies, assuming Ansaksie isn't with you.]]

* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]
* MaskPower: Every alien in the game wears some sort of mask, but Iosa gets bonus points for wearing what looks like a ''sock'' over her face. [[spoiler:She also keeps it when she's demoted to Trooper]].

* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: Of the tragic villain sort. If he doesn't try to destroy Earth and wipe out the Tasen, the High Council will be forced to execute him and destroy Earth anyway]].

* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide: In the standard endings, Tor self-terminates]].

* [[spoiler:JerkWithAHeartOfGold]]: [[spoiler:He's really a good guy inside.]]

* [[spoiler:PunchClockVillain]]

* [[spoiler:SlaveToPR: The only reason he's stuck doing things he ''really'' doesn't want to do.]]

* [[spoiler:SlaveToPR: Just like Tor]].

* [[spoiler:WhatTheHellHero: He tells Iji off if she killed Tor and then [[NiceJobBreakingItHero approves the Alpha Strike]]]].

* HumongousMecha

* AlmightyJanitor: He uses the same sprite as a regular Tasen mook, but he's certainly one of the strongest enemies in the game, stronger than Krotera and only weaker than Annihilators and some bosses.

* PlayfulHacker

* EvilCounterpart: Of Iji.

* [[spoiler:HeroKiller: Completely pulps Iji if she decides to spare Iosa]].

* TennisBoss: His Phantom Hammer ball-shot can be reflected into him , which also prevents him from charging up a [[OneHitKill full-power Phantom Hammer blast]].

* ChildSoldier: Referred to as "kid" by other Tasen.

* MaskPower: Every alien in the game wears some sort of mask, but Iosa gets bonus points for wearing what looks like a ''sock'' over her face.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Iosa is often called "the Invincible", and for good reason.
* NighInvulnerable: to be more specific, it's a combination of a powerful Nanofield normally used on doors and a natural resistance to energy beams, which is the reason she can have a door-grade Nanofield without having her neurons fried.

* PuzzleBoss: She can be defeated through superior firepower, but it's easier just to use the laser traps in the room.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Iosa is only in her ''thirties'' in a cast of enemies whose listed ages go up to over 200.

!! The Diary Writer

* NoNameGiven: Neither the diary writer nor her girlfriend have names. "PAIE" is just a callsign (now confirmed by WordOfGod: [[http://www.remar.se/daniel/ijiguide_sector3.php here]]).

* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown]]: [[spoiler:Activate a single checkpoint before going into the second fight with Asha. Die to him. Activate a second checkpoint. Die to him again. Then challenge him one last time. His reaction is PRICELESS.]]
** [[spoiler:For those of you who don't want to go through sector X in a very specific and difficult way just to get this reaction, he says that he is going to "rip you apart and throw the pieces into a black hole. TEN TIMES".]]

** TooDumbToLive.
* [[spoiler:YourHeadAsplode]]: [[spoiler:Inverted; his head is the only part of him that ''doesn't'' explode messily when he dies.]]

* NighInvulnerable: to be more specific, it's a combination of a powerful Nanofield and a natural resistance to energy beams, which is the reason she can have a personal Nanofield without being fried.

* [[spoiler:AntiVillain: Of the tragic villain sort. If he doesn't try to destroy Earth and wipe out the Tasen, the High Council will be forced to execute him and destroy Earth anyway.]]
* BaitAndSwitchBoss: It's the same guy, but when you first run into him, he's just a regular Komato, so the player might expect a simple shootout. [[OhCrap Then he summons his mech]].

* MarathonBoss

* TennisBoss: His Phantom Hammer ball-shot can be reflected into him ForMassiveDamage, which also prevents him from charging up a [[OneHitKill full-power Phantom Hammer blast]].

* BadAss: In the backstory, a single 'Annihilator' mini-boss went berserk on a Tasen warship and killed nearly everyone, Tasen and Komato alike. Iji, however, can simply ignore them, or at the top of her combat prowess destroy them in a matter of seconds.
** BadassPacifist: Even when on a pacifist run, her enemies notice how she's running through hostile battlefield like there's nothing in the way.

* {{Badass}}: While he is arrogant beyond words and a complete idiot in a lot of respects, there's no denying that he is the most skilled fighter among the Assassins, particularly with his skill at teleporting.

* BadAss

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He sort of invokes this during the FinalBoss fight if he powers up the Phantom Hammer enough to fire it. [[spoiler:Seeing him charge up his ultimate weapon will probably prompt the player to try to dodge it by ducking. Tor sees this coming and stomps the ground to knock the player into the air and ''then'' fire it.]]

* TennisBoss

* AlmightyJanitor: To an extent. She's no stronger than usual if you fight her, but if you keep the truce, [[spoiler: she kills Krotera with an MPFB Devastator, which is ''not'' a Soldier-level weapon. Also, she seems to be able to remain standing while shooting it, meaning that she's almost certainly stronger than Iji.]]

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He doesn't quite fit the Kung Fu part, though like all Assassins he carries a sword, but certainly the "arrogant" part.

* [[spoiler:SkippableBoss]]: [[spoiler:As long as you stay Innocent (No kills) or Pacifist (Very few kills) in the first three sectors, you can bypass the battle with him through a truce made with his men. If you don't skip him, even if you don't technically kill him (by clever use of the turrets), Iji's guilt will count Krotera as one of her kills.]]

* StopPokingMe: If she's on your side by Sector 7, she'll make some comments on the backstory if you attempt to crack her.

* [[spoiler:SkippableBoss]]: [[spoiler:As long as you stay Innocent (No kills) or Pacifist (Very few kills) in the first three sectors, you can bypass the battle with him through a truce made with his men.]]

* [[spoiler:SkippableBoss]]: [[spoiler:As long as you kill no one in the first three sectors, you can bypass the battle with him.]]

* ActualPacifist: As much as a warrior can get, anyway. In her own words, she aims to keep the killing as low as is the barest necessity.

* MinoredInAssKicking: See ActualPacifist. Her total kill count is 42 according to WordOfGod.

* ApologeticAttacker: Until she kills enough enemies, she apologies after each kill.

* BadAss: In the backstory a single 'Annihilator' mini-boss went berserk on a Tasen warship and killed nearly everyone, Tasen and Komato alike. Iji however can simply ignore them, or at the top of her combat prowess destroy them in a matter of seconds.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite starting out reluctant to kill clearly hostile aliens she can end up with a body count in the hundreds.
* BigSisterInstinct: She ends up protective of Dan. [[spoiler: Due to endangering Dan, Asha is the only person Iji never shows even a shred of regret for killing, and this reaction is completely unchanged by her kill count.]]

* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Anomaly]]: [[spoiler: Except Ansaksie on a pacifist run.]] She never actually told them her name, though.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red. Played pacifistic, Iji's quite {{the McCoy}}; as a killer she's not as nice but still quite emotional in her actions.

* RedOniBlueOni: Blue. Dan' quite {{the Spock}}, urging Iji to forgo emotions for sake of her quest. [[spoiler:It's mostly an act.]]

* [[spoiler:LastOfTheirKind]]: [[spoiler: Along with Vateilika, the diary writer and her girlfriend are the only Tasen to survive the game if you kept the truce, except in Version 1.6 where keeping the truce on a pacifist run lets more Tasen survive.]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: In the second fight he can dodge anything, even a ''nuke'', in an enclosed room. He just [[TooDumbToLive chooses not to.]]

* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler: He won't dodge any small guns like a shotgun or a Buster Gun because he considers them too petty to dodge. [[TooDumbToLive Even if he's on his last bit of health and about to die.]]]]

* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown]]: [[spoiler: Activate a single checkpoint before going into the second fight with Asha. Die to him. Activate a second checkpoint. Die to him again. Then challenge him one last time. His reaction is PRICELESS.]]
** [[spoiler: For those of you who don't want to go through sector X in a very specific and difficult way just to get this reaction, he says that he is going to "rip you apart and throw the pieces into a black hole. TEN TIMES".]]
** [[spoiler: He also suffers a breakdown and kills himself if you refuse to fight him the second time]]

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: A maniacal BloodKnight even by her species' high standards, her lust for carnage began when the Tasen [[ApocalypseHow Alpha Struck]] her home planet, killing ''every living thing'' on it [[{{Determinator}} except for her]]. Afterwards, she desired nothing more than the extermination every last Tasen in existence.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He sort of invokes this during the FinalBoss fight if he powers up the Phantom Hammer enough to fire it. [[spoiler: Seeing him charge up his ultimate weapon will probably prompt the player to try to dodge it by ducking. Tor sees this coming and stomps the ground to knock the player into the air and ''then'' fire it.]]
