* {{Omniglot}}: Your PC knows an unusually high amount of alien languages. However, this could be explained as languages Revan knew or studied that is still a subconscious memory. The Force may be their translator, alternatively. Alternatively, it's implied a couple of times that the PC's ability to speak so many languages is essentially a Force Power akin to Bastila's Battle Meditation. [[spoiler: The One on the Unknown World specifically mentions Revan using the Force to "rip" knowledge of the Rakatan language from the One's mind and then to essentially [[IncrediblyLamePun Force-feed]] knowledge of Basic into the Rakata in return.]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Jolee admits that he suffered from this in his younger days [[spoiler: in regards to his wife, Nayama. For reference, Nayama was an enforcer for her home-planet’s tyrannical government, and was mainly interested in becoming a Jedi because she liked the idea of power too much, hence why she agreed to train under Jolee. Jolee even tells the Player-Character that he should have seen the obvious signs of her susceptibility to the Dark Side, but he was so full of pride and loved her so much he largely ignored it until it was too late]].

* CharacterAlignment: His in-universe alignment is neutral. You don't really spend enough time with him to get a read on his morality other than the fact that he's loyal to the Republic.



* JackOfAllStats: His stats are very evenly distributed, with three 12s and three 14s.



* CharacterAlignment: His in-universe alignment is very light. He's a very honorable soldier who believes in defending the weak and always condemns you for selfish actions.



* CharacterAlignment: Her in-universe alignment is very light. She might be a bit of a scoundrel, but she has a big heart and always wants you to do the right thing.



* CharacterAlignment: His in-universe alignment is just barely light. He keeps to himself for the most part, isn't above a bit of PayEvilUntoEvil, and [[spoiler:can be pushed into putting his life-debt to you over his conscience, albeit with a little brainwashing and only temporarily]], but overtly sadistic actions still disturb him.



* CharacterDevelopment: Falling to the Dark Side and being redeemed changes her personality for the better by the time she's seen in ''Literature/{{Revan}}''. She's no longer self-righteous, and comes to view love as a positive force that can save people from the Dark Side, rather than condemning them to it. This leads to a deterioration in her relationship with the Jedi Council.

to:

* CharacterAlignment: Her in-universe alignment is light. She encourages selflessness and following the Jedi code, with her only real personality blemish being a proud and self-righteous streak. [[spoiler:After her FaceHeelTurn, she becomes very dark, seeking to help Darth Malak or Revan conquer the galaxy. However, there is still a spark of goodness in her and she can still be redeemed.]]

This leads to a deterioration in her relationship with the Jedi Council.



* PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler:On the light side route, after defeating her on the Star Forge, there's one more minor fight to go and then it's your fated showdown with Darth Malak.]]



* RecurringBoss: [[spoiler:You fight her once on top of the Rakatan temple, and if you remain light-sided she serves as the last line of defense before Malak himself.]]



* CharacterAlignment: His in-universe alignment is neutral. He's a young droid who hasn't really developed his own personality yet, and as such has no moral code beyond "follow the master".

* CharacterAlignment: His in-universe alignment is dark. He's a ProudWarriorRaceGuy who actively encourages violence as a solution to most problems. His biggest redeeming feature is his genuine belief in Mandalorian honor.



* TheFaceless: [[spoiler:In ''The Sith Lords'', he has taken up the title of Mandalore the Preserver and thus insists on wearing his face-concealing helmet at all times.]]



* TokenHeroicOrc: Mandalorian mercenaries are common enemies in the first game. Canderous is one of the few not trying to kill the party. He decries them all for having strayed from [[TheSpartanWay The Mandalorian Way]].

* CharacterAlignment: Her in-universe alignment is light. She encourages you to do the right thing and believes in the Jedi as an ideal, but has genuine anger issues when pushed far enough.



* RecurringBoss: You fight her once on Dantooine, and if you recruit her and later [[spoiler:fall to the Dark side, you fight her again on the Star Forge system alongside Jolee]].

* CharacterAlignment: Analysis: His in-universe alignment is extremely dark. Explanation: HK-47 is an extremely violent sociopath with no redeeming features beyond being funny about it.


Added DiffLines:

* CharacterAlignment: His in-universe alignment is light-leaning neutral. He mostly keeps to himself and is not above using the Force for trickery and petty gain, but wanton sadism will disturb him and he ultimately comes down on the side of good when the chips are down.

* MagikarpPower: When you first get her, she's an incredibly squishy UtilityPartyMember with very little in the way of combat skills. However, once you get your first Jedi to consistently debilitate foes and Mission can start to really abuse her Sneak Attack feat, she quickly turns into a very powerful GlassCannon with damage potential matched only by the protagonist, and just as competent of a UtilityPartyMember.

* KarmaHoudini: In the dark side route of the Manaan main quest, you murder a significant cultural figure to the Selkath people, catastrophically undermine the planetary economy, and cause a galaxy-wide medpac shortage that will seriously harm the war effort for both sides. If you play your cards right in the ensuing trial, you can get away with this with the judges impotent to do anything but angrily shake their metaphorical fists at you.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Carth is written to only be romanceable by a female PC, but has very similar dialogue with the male PC, which comes off as ''almost'' as flirty. Considering his voice actor doppelganger in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' ends up being bisexual, it's not as surprising in hindsight.



* AmbiguouslyBi: Similar to Carth, while Bastila can only be romanced by a male PC, she and a female PC can become quite close, with very similar dialogue choices and responses from her. The Force bond between them still exists, they are repeatedly described as being bound together by destiny, and it's through a light-sided character that [[spoiler: she can be redeemed]]. Modding the game to allow a romance with a female PC is extremely common.

Lucasfilm and subsequent expanded universe material, however, establish Revan as an unambiguously male character.
