History Characters / NuclearThrone

* FacelessMooks[=/=]GasMaskMooks: All of them conceal their faces with what appear to be gas masks, since apparently the atmosphere is toxic to normal humans. They still wear these [[spoiler:even at their headquarters]].

* BulletproofHumanShield: Her allies can soak up enemy bullets, so hiding behind them can be a good tactic.

* BulletProofHumanShield: Her allies can soak up enemy bullets, so hiding behind them can be a good tactic.

* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: Robot's passive lets it find ''better'' weapons than other mutants in the same area. Every area has a loot table associated with it, causing more weapons to spawn as players go further into the game. Robot's passive ability causes it to use the loot table of the ''next'' area, which means that it has more chances to get a rare weapon. Refined Taste plays with this trope even more by completely removing any weapon that would drop on stages prior to 3_1, meaning that weapons that will be worthless by the end-game such as Screwdrivers, Sluggers, and Pop Guns will never be dropped.

* ICallItVera: The gun of Lil' Hunter is named Lil' Gunther.

* CoolShades: A variant. His B skin wears [[spoiler:a pair of red-and-blue 3-D glasses, over top of his single large eye.]]

* InnateNightVision: His passive.

* ATeamFiring: Has poorer accuracy than the other mutants. Of course, he makes up for it by starting with more ammo ''and'' his active.

* TwoFaced: His face is half melting skin and half eyeless skull.

* IShallTauntYou: Says in trashtalk, "HYÄ DÄ HU" ("Lost dead weakling!"), laughs, and spits at you when you die against him.

* BullfightBoss: A risky but effective way to kill him with a melee weapon. He will attempt to charge into the player if they're close to him, and being hit by his charge is almost guaranteed to instantly kill the player. At the same time, hitting him with a melee weapon during the charge causes him to take damage ''very'' rapidly due to the way the hit detection works, to the point where a single swing of the shovel or sledgehammer can kill him outright.
** The melee hit detection tactic got nerfed in Update 99. Have fun!

* ADogNamedDog: Most of them are simply named for what they are.

* EyesAlwaysShut: His sprite appears to show this, most of the time, but his eyes do open when going through portals as well as on the icons for 'Stress' and 'Recycle Gland'.

* TheLeader: If he's not officially the leader of the mutants, he's definitely a de facto one.

* BodyHorror: True to his name, his flesh is constantly dripping like candle wax, and a good chunk of it has sloughed off to the point where you can see his ''skeleton.'' It also causes him extreme pain.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: The poor guy just wants to sleep since he's in constant agony due to his endlessly melting skin.

** {{Averted}} for Rogue, since she is from a universe where the apocalyse didn't happen.

This bubbling, oozing mass of flesh and bone offers the player a more high-risk/high-reward experience. He passively gains more radiation from killing enemies, and gaining the right combination of mutations can make him extremely deadly, but he starts off with 2 HP, meaning he dies to pretty much everything. To compensate for his weakness, Melting has the ability to blow up enemy corpses to deal massive damage to all enemies nearby and destroying projectiles, giving him a chance to quickly clear areas of the map without putting himself at risk.

Melting's Throne Butt triples the size of his corpse explosions, allowing for large and often hilarious chain reactions. Upon hitting Level Ultra, Melting can choose between Brain Capacity and Detachment. Brain Capacity powers up Melting's corpse explosions to the point where it can blow up any living enemy with a current health of 5 and less, including undamaged enemies. Detachment cuts Melting's health in half in exchange for three extra mutations.

* ImprovisedWeapon: He can use the guitar he plays in the character select screen as a weapon from [[spoiler:the Campfire]] onward.
* InstrumentOfMurder: His guitar, which is about as strong as a sledgehammer but is much faster, making it one of the better melee weapons of the game. [[spoiler: It can only be found by looping as him.]]

* TechnicalPacifist: Going by the ending theme song, most of them would rather not fight even if they have to, except for...
* TokenEvilTeammate: ...[[AxeCrazy Plant]], [[BloodKnight Y.V.]] and [[KillerRobot Robot]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Similar to Rebel in that he's a playable character of a standard enemy.
* PoisonousPerson: Just like all Ballguys.
* StanceSystem: His Ultras definitely feel more like two different playing styles than most other characters, with Distance focusing on...well, keeping distance from your enemies, and Intimacy being about getting up close and personal.

[[caption-width-right:350:So many rats]]

* FakingTheDead: Assassins (which debuts here but are mainly associated with The Scrapyard) pretend to be dead and are activated when you pass by them.

* DifficultySpike: Hosts a variety of nasty enemies to ruin your day, including the dreaded Snipers.

This bubbling, oozing mass of flesh and bone offers players high-risk/high-reward gameplay. Gaining the right combination of mutations can make Melting really deadly, and he passively gains more radiation from killing enemies but starts off with 2 HP, meaning he dies to pretty much everything.

[[caption-width-right:196:Get strong]]

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: His B-Skin is unlocked by [[spoiler:defeating The Technomancer as him]].

[[caption-width-right:184:Nothing...]]

[[caption-width-right:172:Don't hold it up.]]

* MagikarpPower: His passive causes him to gain extra rads from all sources, allowing him to gain more mutations quicker than other mutants can.

* EnergyBeings: In this case, a radiation being.
