* AnimalMotifs: Bears, as befitting her lineage.

to:

* AnimalMotifs: Bears, as befitting her lineage. It represents her being supremely lazy most of the time, a BigEater, and also being ''extremely'' dangerous, fast, and destructive when she has sufficient reason to.
* BigEater: Lilya's "free time" schedule consists of "lunch" then "some snacks, some alcohol" immediately after.
* BrilliantButLazy: Lilya has legendary status as an incredibly skilled pilot, able to take down much larger and better armed fighter jets on her own through superior agility, reactivity, and literally flying under the radar as she's too small for most existing technologies to detect properly. Whereas a real life AcePilot would be teaching other recruits their skills, Lilya's schedule outside of active combat usually consists of lunch, snacks, alcohol, then a lazy low-altitude flight around town.
* ChildSoldier: Like many other young Arcanists when the Iron Curtain fell, Lilya was brought into Zeno Academy as a young child, trained in combat and military matters.


Added DiffLines:

* MilitaryMaverick: Ironically for a top-graduate of a military academy, she has a reputation for only ever listening to herself and never her superiors nor anyone else. It's only because of her incredible skill in piloting a flying broomstick that she hasn't been dishonorably discharged for it.
* ThePrankster: She is quite infamous in her military academy days for being the worst person you could ever want to start a prank war against. Lilya may not start it but she will certainly end it.
* SignatureHeadgear: She's almost never seen without her leather pilot's helmet with decorative bear ears.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Child soldiers could theoretically be an elite, highly loyal force that has only ever known the military and the state since they could form words and has no other allegiances or attachments. They could, again theoretically, have many years more training and an advantage in development as they are constantly honed physically and mentally during their peak development years, with constant supervision by medical staff and military instructors. In reality, Lilya is a highly skilled broomstick pilot, yes, but she's also an incredibly mischievous troublemaker who is fond of prank wars, doesn't listen to authority because command decided to [[MilitaryMaverick overlook her disobedience for her combat skill]] and she has thus learned ''very'' early on that she can get away with it and never developed a fear or respect for superiors, and is also probably a functional alcoholic due to all the stresses and rigor of military training before she was physically or mentally developed enough to properly process all of it. In the end, she's a legend among her fellow students and future generations in the Academy, but is about the worst possible role model for future soldiers: disregards authority, constantly gets into trouble, is horrendously lazy outside of combat, and also has an addiction to harmful substances.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Their primary "recruitment" methods for the rank-and-file mooks you frequently go through is to convince panicking and desperate civilians to put on their masks, usually filled with Arcana's mind-altering slime that will ultimately transform them into monstrous slaves of the Manus Vindictae.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The Manus Vindictae are largely composed of Arcanists who have suffered tragedy upon tragedy from discrimination, systematic oppression, and hate crimes. Their methods oftentimes involve the wanton murder and ruination of non-arcanists, be they active hostiles like gangsters seeking to murder innocent arcanists, or innocent non-combatants like civilians suffering from the perception-warping effects of "Storm Syndrome." The non-Arcanists in their employ are oftentimes BrainwashedAndCrazy civilians who have been lured to their cause by the desperation to escape the "Storm" and the consequences of the real-life disasters that bring it about, such as the Great Depression in 1920's Chicago, America. Their ultimate goal is to bring about a world where the oppressed Arcanists rule and are now the jackboots stepping on the non-arcanists necks.

[[folder:Constantine]]
[[folder:Forget Me Not]]
The owner of the Walden and a leader in the Manus Vindictae's operations in 1920's America, focusing on accelerating the stock crash that lead to the Great Depression.
----
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: You could say his downfall comes partially from his willingness to screw over his allies, such as [[spoiler:holding Schenider's sister Marian hostage in the Walden or abusing Druvis III's trust to use her forest as a staging ground for their sham refugee camp.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Forget-me-not flowers. They symbolize true love, respect, and devotion, all of which contrast quite brutally with the man's obscenely inhumane methods.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears a pair of round, thin-framed spectacles. The lenses are clear but you won't see much humanity or warmth in the eyes behind them.
* ThatManIsDead: Whatever Forget Me Not was in the past, he has chosen to kill that identity, sever all of his ties with it, and have it remain an enigma as he looks forward to reversing the world and reshaping it as the Manus sees fit.
* WickedCultured: He's an extremely well-dressed, cultured, and sophisticated man, wearing finely tailored waistcoat with a lacey jabot, he's quite knowledgeable about wines, alchemy, and stock trading, and he is also quite the showman, acting as the host of the Walden speakeasy and being charismatic enough to lure countless hapless folks with money to burn to sign arcane stock certificates that would help crash the market, directly leading to his other atrocities. [[spoiler:During his boss battle, he fights while playing a grand piano.]]

[[folder:Schneider]]
The youngest mafia leader in Chicago, 1920, who also acts as an agent of the Manus Vindictae, doing criminal acts like murders, extortion, and helping entertain the crowds at the Walden speakeasy.
----
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As much as Schneider is willing to carelessly and even ''gleefully'' kill innocent people and rival gangsters, she still cares about her family above all else and works hard to ensure their protection.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her red feather flapper dress only covers half of her body, leaving the right side of her chest and her right leg exposed. She also wears one of her boots unzipped, to make space for an ankle bracelet there. The only thing that keeps her even somewhat decent is the oversized black men's jacket she wears over it.
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:You get to use her on your 1st clear of Chapter 1's last mission.]]
* GunsAkimbo: Schneider often uses her twin modified Colt M1911 pistols together in combat, though in cutscenes she is depicted as using just one.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: She catches onto Forget Me Not's [[spoiler:holding her sister Marian hostage in the Walden]] after he lets slip a specific name, but Schneider had never mentioned which sister was missing. With 10 chances to get it wrong, Schneider correctly realizes this was no coincidence.
* TheMafia: She is the daughter of Italian immigrants, and rose up out of the desperate poverty she faced to become one of the youngest mob bosses in Chicago.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She has ''11'' older sisters.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: From a very young age, ''well'' before she was a legal adult and up to the present as she's implied to still be a teenager, Schneider has been engaged in organized crime, from "pigeon" trades with suspiciously high payment for each "animal," buying bullets to deal with the "neighbors," and bribing local politicians to keep the heat off her operations.

This page is for the various curious souls inhabiting the world of ''VideoGame/Reverse1999''. Any character folder names in '''bold text''' denotes a playable character.



* {{Bifauxnen}}: She identifies as female, but keeps her hair short and wears a three-piece suit in a style that makes her look androgynous.



* LetThemDieHappy: [[spoiler:With no way to stop the incoming Storm, Vertin decides all that can be done is to allow those who are about to be sifted to have one last real meal.]]

to:

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: A few times in the story, Vertin is shown to be just as capable of a combatant as the rest of the party, even going so far as to cast offensive incantations of her own. However, so far you'll never have a playable version of her, and during certain story missions like her [[spoiler:duel with Schneider in the Walden]], some other member of your party will be facing her alone, though the story will treat it as if Vertin had been fighting herself.
* LetThemDieHappy: [[spoiler:With no way to stop the incoming Storm, Storm from devastating 1920's America, Vertin decides all that can be done is to allow those who are about to be sifted to have one last real meal.]] ]]
* MissingMom: She has vague memories of her mother on a mysterious operating table, before some catastrophic event that made her memories of it foggy. All her attempts at finding any information about who she was or what happened have been rejected, with her Foundation sources saying "No such person." It's one of the mysteries she's trying to unravel aside from stopping the "Storm" and delaying the Manus Vindictae's intentional sabotage.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Aside from her mysterious innate immunity to the effects of the Storm, by training or some other quality of Vertin's, she has extensive knowledge and memory of the "correct" flow of historical events in any time period she's in. She uses this primarily to investigate any tampering, such as the Manus Vindictae's acceleration plots to hasten the coming of the "Storm."
* TheStrategist: Her role in combat is to guide and coordinate the other arcanists' incantations (represented by the player's swapping cards and deciding the order in which they are played), improve their power outside of combat through Portrayals and Insight, and use Tunings which grant her special effects to manipulate the battlefield and fate to the party's favor.

Vertin's assistant in her endeavors. Like many arcanists taken in by the Foundation, she was raised from an early age in their orphanages, then trained and educated in their schools, becoming a highly capable field operative. She initially serves as the captain of a field team sent to find Regulus with Vertin's help, but after getting accidentally summoned into Vertin's suitcase, she now helps Vertin with her mission to discover the truth behind their world, even if it means uncovering unpleasant secrets the Foundation has been hiding from her.

However, when Vertin gets on her trail just before the "Storm" hits her time period, she finds herself sucked into world of conspiracies, ends of eras, and powerful shadowy organizations she's been trying to run from.

However, when Vertin gets on her trail just before the "Storm" hits her time period, she finds herself sucked into world of conspiracies, ends of eras, and powerful shadowy organizations she's been trying to run from.
----
* CoolShades: Regulus bought a pair from the department store Harrods. The description for them states that the intense reflected UV rays on the high seas make them a necessity for protecting a sailor's eyes, then mentions Regulus only bought them because they looked "soooooo cool!"
* ThePowerOfRock: Regulus fights by playing her records on her player, though they could also just be used to help channel her offensive enchantments.
