History Characters / InfamousSecondSon

* KickTheSonOfABitch: While the KickThemWhileTheyAreDown option normally nets Delsin Evil Karma, when he does so to Augustine during their first fight, it nets him ''Good'' Karma instead, along with the message "Tyrant Wounded". It's justified when one considers the fact that Augustine is running an anti-Conduit organization, brutally tortured Delsin's entire tribe; and, prior to the fight, [[spoiler:killed Delsin's older brother in cold blood right in front of him]].

* RedOniBlueOni: The mischiveous, impulsive red to Reggie's calm and responsible blue.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: She has the DUP arrest Shane, despite not being a conduit, and allows Fetch to personally execute him. Given that Shane was a drug lord who tricked Fetch into killing her own brother, he receives no sympathy.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: The mischiveous, impulsive red to Reggie's calm and resopnsible blue.

* IWantThemAlive: Once she learns about Delsin's true powers, she clearly gains an interest in capturing him alive, apparently because of his unique ability to copy powers. [[spoiler: This is actually her modus opperandi for all Conduits. She's never killed one herself, and its her entire goal to round them all up to protect them from lynch mobs and an apathetic military.]]

* NotGoodWithPeople: He's extremely anti-social because he was bullied in the past, spent about six years interned in a prison, and Delsin is presumably one of the only people he's talked to in a long time. [[spoiler:On the Good path, he eventually decides to give people another chance, after much prodding from Delsin.]]

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

* CasualDangerDialog: He's prone to doing this.

** They are both BoomerangBigot conduits with their own [[ANaziByAnyOtherName borderline-fascistic]] armed-forces [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain built on a knee-jerk hatred of conduits]] (Bertrand's Militia being a bunch of gun-toting MugglePower rednecks made to fend off the Corrupted and other "deviants, the D.U.P. being a government organization made to capture and contain "bio-terrorists").

* HateSink: Augustine's entire repertoire has her being built out of tropes that would make her a TragicVillain, PunchClockVillain or a WellIntentionedExtremist, only for her actions throughout the game to [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist subvert it at every opportunity]]. She claims that the D.U.P. was made to find and protect conduits from the FantasticRacism everyday humans would have against conduits, but the D.U.P. is the one who relabeled them "bio-terrorists" and is the one encouraging anti-conduit sentiment to the American public. She claims that she cares about protecting conduits, but the D.U.P.'s default procedure for handling conduits is through indefinite, trial-less incarceration and inhumane experimentation, bumped up to shoot-to-kill if they resist in any way. She claims that her EvilPlan was to ensure that the D.U.P. remained relevant through the press, but the entire game has her turning Seattle into a PoliceState, brutalize a Native American tribe for ''no'' reason and a variety of other things that would only sour public opinion of them.

* GoodIsNotNice: While Delsin means well and wants to end Augustine's tyranny, he often acts rather cocky and disrespectful, even towards his brother.

* IllGirl: She gets a bunch of concrete daggers stuck in her leg by Augustine, which are slowly killing her, and they can only be pulled out the same way they got in. She and the other members of Delsin's tribe are the reason that he goes to Seattle.

!![[PlayerCharacter The Protagonist]]

* NiceHat: Wears a red beanie based on one owned by the game's lead animator.

* ElementalShapeshifter: Can shapeshift into his active element with certain techniques, usually his dash ability. With Smoke, he surges forward as a formless plume of smouldering ash, while Neon has him running forwards as a series of afterimages. As for the other two abilities, Video has him sprout a set of holographic wings, while Concrete shrouds him in stone as he barrels through anything in his path.

* RedOniBlueOni: The msichiveous, impulsive red to Reggie's calm and resopnsible blue.

* HollywoodNerd: He's fairly svelte for a guy who supposedly spent all his time playing video games. Possibly justified by whatever Augustine did to him during his time with her. Considering he spent six years in a detention facility being tortured and experimented on every day, he probably wasn't eating well.

* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Reggie's blue.

** 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 [[TheCorrupter he also molds them into his fellow partners in crime]].

* ManipulativeBitch: She proves to be very proficient in exploiting emotions to her benefit. An example include giving Hank a paper clip knowing full well he would use it to break free and later gets Hank to do her biding again by claiming to be holding his daughter hostage.

!![[PlayerCharacter Main Protagonist]]

* {{GIFT}}: Possibly the reason his "He Who Dwells" form is so hammy. His powers allow him to treat ''real life'' like a video game, with power and anonymity.

* AllYourPowersCombined: He's capable of absorbing and utilizing a slew of different powers at the drop of a hat. The only drawback is he can't use two of these powers at once. Still, switching to a different power set is trivial for Delsin, as long as he can find a source of Smoke/Neon/Video/etc to absorb.

* CharacterDevelopment: Delsin starts out as a bitter KnightInSourArmor AntiHero, and simply wants to get Augustine's powers to heal his tribe. However as the plot progresses, he takes [[ComesGreatResponsibility more responsibilities with his own powers]], [[spoiler:and helps redeem two of the major characters (Abigail Walker and Eugene Sims) into the side of good]]. He even uses his graffiti for more meaningful purposes later on; compare his anti-authority graffiti at the beginning of the game, [[spoiler:to the Good Karma ending's dedication mural to Reggie]].
