History Characters / JakandDaxter

* OverprotectiveDad: Though, it's perfectly reasonable: he wants his daughter to stay in the garage fixing cars, not out on the track getting shot at.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Aside from that brief fling Ashlin was giving him in Jak 3, Jak has only shown interest in Keira, being both protecting and caring towards her more than any other character.

* TroubledButCute: Badass jerkass with a heart of gold facing two years of wrongful imprisonment, experimentation, torture, exile, and [[spoiler:the death of his father]].

* CantHoldHisLiquor: Daxter gets drunk off his ass in Jak II. Possibly justified since 1) he's small, and 2) he chugged a lot of booze in less than a minute. He seems to have learned his lesson, as we don't see him get drunk again. He also gets props for sobering up pretty quickly (and with no hangover, either).
** He gets an AlcoholHic while intoxicated as well.

* {{Expy}}: He's an orange animal creature with fingerless gloves in a Naughty Dog game. He's basically VideoGame/CrashBandicoot if he could talk.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mostly this in the first game. He spends a lot of time pulling witty wisecracks and jerkish behavior but is generally a loyal and good friend, especially towards the end where he chooses to save the world instead of changing back to his original form.

%%* AffablyEvil

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler:Does Skyheed want to rule the world, or does he want to destroy it? Or does he want to use the power of Dark Eco to remake the world to his liking? It's... not entirely clear. All we know is that he's [[ForTheEvulz evil]].]]

* UncertainDoom: Although Gol and Maia were presumed dead as the robot's remains sunk into the silo, this remained somewhat ambiguous as Samos is quite hesitant when stating that "the dark eco ''[[SequelHook probably]]'' destroyed them". However, this is never followed up on.

* MsFanservice: Unlike her brother, she's still quite attractive.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She wears a Precursor metal corset on her upper body and nothing else.

G.T. Blitz is the less than pleasant announcer for the Kras City races. His father was one of the best racers on the planet before being murdered by the Kras City crime lord Mizo. [[spoiler:In reality, he ''is'' Mizo and was responsible for killing his own father.]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Mizo:''']] [[spoiler: And why not?! He left us for his ''sick love of racing!'' And when he did, we vowed to own the ''whole damn sport''. ''All of it!'' Every last part...]]

* BareYourMidriff: Her standard outfit until ''The Lost Frontier''.

* BareYourMidriff: Ashelin never met a full shirt she liked, although the racing jacket she wears in ''Jak X'' covers a ''bit'' more at least.

* MsFanservice: Between her [[BareYourMidriff bare midriff]], [[BoobsOfSteel impressive bust]], exposed thighs and obvious thong strings visible above her beltline, Ashelin is absolutely unchallenged as the sexiest girl in the series.

* BareYourMidriff: Her standard outfit, is like this even [[spoiler: as an Ottsel]].

* Villain Team-Up: Metalheads require a leader to answer to in order to operate as a true military force. Once Kor bites it at Jak's hands, Cyber Errol steps in and commandeers them, likely cowing them due to being backed by the Dark Makers. Since Cyber Errol also controls the KG Warbots via their factory, this allows him to coordinate both the Metalheads and the KG Warbots to try and crush Haven City.

The corrupt dictator of Haven City who rules with an iron fist. Originally a government official under the reign of Damas, he outs the former king in an uprising and instates himself as the sole ruler of haven city. He incarcerates an unwilling Jak and tortures him in prison, turning him into a test subject for the Dark Warrior program, ultimately leading to his demise as a ruler.

* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan:]] [[spoiler:He had his syndicate sabotage his own father's car before a big race, leading to his death.]]

[[folder:G. T. Blitz /Mizo]]

G. T. Blitz is the less than pleasant announcer for the Kras City races. His father was one of the best racers on the planet before being murdered by the Kras City crime lord Mizo.

* AnnouncerChatter: G. T. Blitz provides commentary during the races.

* RealMenWearPink: G. T. Blitz wears a pink sweater.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:G. T. Blitz and Mizo are actually the same person; the latter does not have a wig.]]

%%* AsskickingEqualsAuthority

* BecomingTheMask: Subverted. While it's implied that Rayn really did become friends with Jak and co [[spoiler: and regrets that her newfound friends probably all hate her guts now]], she [[spoiler: ultimately chooses to pursue her father's plan anyways and form a massive criminal empire. Though she makes it clear to other syndicates that Jack and the gang are not to be harmed.]]

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Gets away with her manipulation scot-free.]]

* BuxomIsBetter: Part of the reason Daxter is attracted to her when he meets her for the first time.

* FieryRedhead: Very fiery. Also very red.

* OfficialCouple: Is in a relationship with Torn by Jak X.
* {{Ojou}}: She's the Baron's daughter. She may not exactly be ''refined,'' but she's certainly stoic and dignified, if coarse.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the third game, to some degree; this was left behind in ''Jak X'', though. She did flirt with Jak in the second game a few times, so the promotion didn't come [[StrangledByTheRedString out of nowhere]].

* SexyWalk: Mixed with MaleGaze as the camera tends to focus on her butt while she's doing it.

* MrFanservice: Jak grows as a character, emotionally and physically, and he's grown into a rather muscular and handsome man. Keira even calls him as such.

^ HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jak despite his ForcedTransformation.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the third game, to some degree; this was left behind in ''Jak X'', though.
** She did flirt with Jak in the second game a few times, so the promotion didn't come [[StrangledByTheRedString out of nowhere]].

This wise old man is a member of the Underground and guardian of The Kid. He is very knowledgeable in regards to Metal Heads. [[spoiler: Because he ''is'' the leader of the Metal Heads.]]

The paranoid head engineer of Haven city's infrastractural complex, he works for the Baron as the foreman of his eco-mining operations, but he relays information to the Underground. Additionally has a extreme distate for Metal-Heads, and this is to the extreme.

Yes, as it turns out, the ancient galaxy spanning-race responsible for the creation of Jak's world is indeed a bunch of Ottsel-Like characters who greatly exxagerated their appearance. They are the only precursors who appear in the flesh (And not as spirits or idols), as they reside within the Planetary Defense core and prepare it to destroy the Dark Maker ship which looms over the planet. Besides all that, don't judge their size, as they still are the most powerful beings on the planet.

->Voiced By: Creator/PhilLaMarr (English), [[Creator/KenichiOgata Ken'ichi Ogata]] (Japanese)

* LackofEmpathy: Zigzagged. Jak does genuinely care for people close to him, but in Jak II shows him only caring about revenge against the Baron, not even batting an eye over the Undergrounds men being captured or killed or even working for an evil bastard like Krew to get what he wants. The Dark Eco corrupting him may have something to do with this. Fully subverted in Jak 3 where the Light Eco helps him regain his original kindness.

* Irony: Who would have thought being turned into an Ottsel wasn't a curse but a blessing, as the great Precursors were Ottsels?

->Voiced by: Richard McGonagle, David Herman

* RiddleOfTheAges: Their reveal as Ottsels is pretty jarring from a lore-perspective. If they really are like that as real gods, then why did their entire mythos revolve around mythical beings with alien features? Did they downsize in appearance after centuries? Is it just a performance to gain Jak's trust? What about the dark makers?

* SirSwearsALot: Starting with the DarkerAndEdgier (and T-rated) sequel.

* LikeASonToMe: At first, Damas did not see Jak as anything more but a potential soldier in his ranks. As time went on,however, he began to feel pride in him no different to what a father would for his son. He even accidentally slips his pride as well. When Jak finally earns his rights to be a Wastelander, Damas personally gave him a rare armor artifact that belonged to Mar, wishing to have given it to his own son, but feels Jak is in need of it more.[[spoiler:It made the revalation of them actually being father and son all the more tragic upon Damas' death, and he never found out either.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Completely absent in Jak 3 along with the rest of the Lurkers without any explanation at all. He does make a major appearance in ''VideoGame/Daxter'', which is the prequel entry for Jak 2.

** At the end of Jak 3 he dies for good thanks to Jak shooting him with the PeaceMaker. And after how he tried to destroy the whole planet for his own lust for power, no tears will be shed for his demise.

* VillainsDyingGrace: Gives Jak the location of the second bomb he made with the Precursor Stone inside so he can use it on the Gun.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Baron Praxis. Veger is another cruel Haven City nobleman with an interest in weaponising eco, but he believed in the power of light eco while the baron invested into the dark. He's stringy where Praxis was bulky, a sneering NonActionGuy where Praxis was a grizzled warrior-regent, and favors a pistol over his predecessor's sword. Both aristocrats were flawed mortal men who bloodied their hands to topple an [[AlwaysChaoticEvil even viler and more dangerous enemy]], but the baron, for all his flaws, [[spoiler:went down fighting that greater evil and partook in some VillainsDyingGrace. Count Veger is removed from the intrigue in a much less epic and dignified way... but unlike Praxis, he survives to see the end.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: He ultimately wants to destroy the Metal Heads and protect his city, but is completely willing to sacrifice ''anything'' to achieve this goal. Despite this, he ultimately [[spoiler:gives Jak the precursor stone before he dies and knows that Jak is the ultimate weapon in defeating the Metal Heads]].
%%* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He claims his tyrannical rule is necessary to protect against the Metal Heads, only to have it revealed he's bribing them into attacking the city to justify his rule. Even his ultimate plan to backstab them is because [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness the deal's about to fall apart]].
* PragmaticVillainy: His plan to protect the city by bribing the metal heads with eco to give him enough time to [[spoiler:complete the piercer bomb]].
