History Characters / InfamousSecondSon

** Delsin seems to have read Literature/TheBible, or at least part of it. When he comes across [[{{Mugglepower}} anti-Conduit protesters]], he counters with the "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," quote.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To both the Militia and Vermaak 88 from ''VideoGame/Infamous2'', as they are all evil paramilitary groups. Much like the Militia, the D.U.P. are an [[FantasticRacism anti-conduit organization]]; and just like the Vermaak, they are also comprised of {{superpowered|Mooks}} [[{{Supersoldier}} soldiers]] (who also [[PowerCopying got their abilities from someone else]]).

* ElementalShapeshifter: Can shapeshift herself into paper, both to [[NotQuiteFlight float on air currents]] and to [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleport]].

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[LikeRealityUnlessNoted As a high-up member of the US military, Augustine has impossibly high amount of immunity to the law herself]]. She enacts DisproportionateRetribution on practically the entire citizen that displeases her, destroying every bridge that leads into Seattle and demolishing a third of the city (converting their tallest skyscraper into a concrete, home-base deathtrap) with her powers, staging a full-on occupation for all of her armed-troops and pseudo-conduits in the city, rounding up suspected "bio-terrorists" left and right, staging a false escape attempt [[DrunkWithPower in order to keep the DUP in power]] and ''god knows how many other horrible things''!!!

* DishingOutDirt: Using conduit-related technology left behind by the First Sons and Bertrand, all of the D.U.P. has access to a lesser arsenal of their leader Augustine's concrete powers.
* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: The DUP is basically every single negative stereotype of US federal government agencies all rolled into one unconstitutionally authoritarian nightmare.
* {{Mooks}}: There isn't a single named member in the D.U.P.'s ranks apart from their leader Augustine and [[MookHorrorShow they all exist solely as attack-fodder for Delsin]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The D.U.P.'s entire existence is predicated onto capturing and containing [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual a demographic of people]] over mere circumstance of genetics, and they will kill, "lawfully" incarcerate and suspend the civil liberties of innocent people, converting a thriving city and tourist destination into a PoliceState and spread misleading, demonizing propaganda to do it.
* SuperRegistrationAct: They are a government funded organization designed to capture and contained conduits, even if they have to hunt them down like animals to do it.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Vermaak 88 from ''VideoGame/Infamous2'', being a highly-trained military corps. with artificially applied superpowers copied from a real conduit.

** Despite his descent into supervillainy, Delsin still cares deeply about his cop brother Reggie. He later [[UnholyMatrimony falls in love with Abigail]] and [[VillainousFriendship befriends Eugene]], but he [[TheCorrupter he also molds them into his fellow partners in crime]].

* OneWingedAngel: His "He Who Dwells" persona, a massive LargeHam [[WingedHumanoid angel]] that can shoot FrickinLaserBeams.

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

* MasterOfNone: While he has a large variety of powers, the people he copies them from are all more skilled than he is with their individual abilities. [[JustifiedTrope That being saiid, they all had more time to practice.]]

* MasterOfNone: While he has a large variety of powers, the people he copies them from are all more skilled than he is with their individual abilities.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: little did he know, he ends up doing exactly what Augustine wanted by escaping prison transportation.]]

* PositiveFriendInfluence: As mentioned above, a good-aligned Delsin is able to redeem Fetch and Eugene by helping them work out their personal issues. By showing Fetch how helping innocent people is better than punishing the guilty, and by helping Eugene gain confidence they become heroic figures themselves.

* CowardlyLion: Eugene's social anxiety, history of being bullied and the torture he faced in Curden Cay have left Eugene with a crippling fear of confrontation. That said, when the angels he loans Delsin all die off and Delsin is swarmed with [=DUPs=], he has a minor freak-out before coming to his aid with a fresh [[TheArmiesOfHeaven army of angels]], led by him and his [[OneWingedAngel "He Who Dwells" form]]. He later helps assists in storming Augustine's fortress.

* FreudianExcuse: Being the target of school bullies eventually enraged him enough to activate his powers. And he was soon detained by the DUP afterwards, so things got even worse for him from there.

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Can create projections of virtual characters, like angels and demons.

* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: The DUP is basically every single negative stereotype of US federal government agencies, all rolled into one unconstitutionally authoritarian nightmare.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Vermaak 88 from ''VideoGame/Infamous2'', being a highly-trained military corps. with artificially applied conduit-abilities copied from a real conduit.

* {{Mooks}}: There isn't a single named member in the D.U.P.'s ranks apart from their leader Augustine and [[MookHorrorShow they all exist solely as attack-fodder for Delsin to knock-over]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The D.U.P.'s entire existence is predicated onto capturing and containing [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual a demographic of people]] over mere circumstance of genetics, and they will kill, unlawfully incarcerate innocent people, suspend the civil liberties of anybody they wish, convert a thriving city and tourist destination into a PoliceState and spread misleading, demonizing propaganda to do it.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Vermaak 88 from ''VideoGame/inFAMOUS2'', being a highly-trained military corps. with artificially applied conduit-abilities copied from a real conduit.

* IGaveMyWord: When his fellow members of the Akomish tribe were injured by Brooke Augustine, he promises them that he'll find a cure for them. [[spoiler:In the Good ending, he follows through on that promise.]]

* CreateYourOwnHero: By [[spoiler:orchestrating Hank, Fetch and Eugene's escape]], Augustine inadvertently sets off a chain of events resulting in Delsin's own [[PowerCopying Conduit abilities]] coming to the forefront, and her subsequent torture of his tribe results in him following her to Detroit in the hopes of curing them, which eventually [[spoiler:results in her defeat at his hands]].

* DishingOutDirt: She can create and control concrete. [[spoiler:Deslin gets that powerset from her at the end of the game.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Head of the D.U.P. A very powerful [[BoomerangBigot conduit]] that can control concrete, once confronted, prepare for a very long fight. Even on the easiest difficulty.

* EvilIsPetty: After [[spoiler:needlessly torturing Delsin's entire tribe]], she leaves them in the state they are in for them to die a slow and painful death (even though [[spoiler:removing the concrete from their bodies]] would take no effort on her part), which forces Delsin to target her in the first place.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: See CassandraTruth. Even though Delsin was willing to give himself up to the DUP to keep the other Akomish out of harm's way, it doesn't stop Augustine from torturing him and then attacking his tribe anyways.

** Despite his descent into supervillainy, Delsin still cares deeply about his cop brother Reggie. He later [[UnholyMatrimony falls in love with Abigail]] and [[VillainousFriendship befriends Eugene]], however [[TheCorrupter he also molds them into his fellow partners in crime]].
** Played with regarding his friends and neighbors in the rest of the Akomish community. Although he initially sought to get revenge on Augustine for hurting his tribe and eventually heal them of their injuries, [[spoiler:things go very wrong in the Evil ending. When Betty (who was a [[ParentalSubstitute grandmother-like figure]] to Delsin) [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech scolds him for all the atrocities he committed]] and refused to let Delsin heal them, he's so angry about being rejected that he '''murders his whole tribe'''.]]

%%* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Delsin's red.

* SacrificialLion

* DishingOutDirt: She can create and control concrete. [[spoiler: and is where Deslin gets that powerset from at the end of the game]]
* EngineeredHeroics: It's revealed later in the game that [[spoiler: she orchestrated the escape of Hank, Fetch, and Eugene to she could re-capture them and give an excuse to keep the DUP in operation]].
