History Characters / TheOuterWorldsTheCrew

* DropTheHammer: Starts out with an Impact Hammer, and her special attack involves walloping the designated target with it for AOE shock damage and a stun effect.

* CanonIdentifier: Officially, the protagonist is known as the "Unplanned Variable", though in-game the title only comes up in the ending. Characters tend to refer to you as "The Stranger" or in the case of your companions, "Captain".

* TokenEvilTeammate: In a sense that he's the most openly supportive of the Board out of all your companions. Max takes the SocialDarwinist interpretation of Scientism, believing only the strong survive and MightMakesRight (whether or not that's "fair"). [[spoiler:At least until his [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs hallucinogenic epiphany]] on Scylla -- while all those things may still be functionally true, trying to find some higher purpose within them ignores the beautiful chaos that emerges when you stop trying to control everything.]] Even then, when personally dealing with higher-ups of the Board he is open critical of them and like everyone [[spoiler:objects to Akande ordering the death of Edgewater if Adelaide is mayor]].

* LovableRogue: Appears to give off this attitude despite his ignorance. Having him in your party grants a passive +10 to Persuasion. This is futher reinforced by the fact that the other two skills that he gives bonuses to are Sneak and Lockpick.

* CrewOfOne: The implication is that none of your party members do anything on the ship except hang out.

* FantasyCounterpartReligion: Scientism is a non-supernatural believing religion that most resembles UsefulNotes/{{Deism}}. It is notable for the fact that they don't believe in an afterlife and Vicar Max eventually stops believing in the Architect or a Plan but becomes ''even more'' devoted to preaching his religion. Both Parvati and Nyoka question why Max is a preacher in the first place.

* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: The conclusion of his personal quest.
** [[spoiler:Max and the player take hallucinogens, letting them see Max's mother and Max's own idealized self]]. If the player encourages him, [[spoiler:Max will decide that his search for a universal Truth and Plan keeps him from facing his own demons by letting him shirk responsibility, and keep him from enjoying life]]. If they do this, [[spoiler:Max comes out of the experience completely changed, filled with newfound self-awareness and far more sociable than before.]]

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Played with as Scientism is a non-supernatural believing religion that most resembles UsefulNotes/{{Deism}}. It is notable for the fact that they don't believe in an afterlife and Vicar Max eventually stops believing in the Architect or a Plan but becomes ''even more'' devoted to preaching his religion. Both Parvati and Nyoka question why Max is a preacher in the first place.

* AllLovingHero: She's easily the kindest and most compassionate character of the game and will always object to cruelty. Earning her contempt takes a special type of character and says a lot about them.

* LovableRogue: Appears to give off this attitude despite his ignorance. Having him in your party grants a passive +10 to Persuasion.

* KillEmAll: You can kill most [=NPCs=], even quest givers, before you so much as talk to them. This run in the game will make corporations release propaganda calling you a "Mysterious Stranger that lays death to any on their path."

* AmbiguousDisorder: Parvati has a lot of trouble fitting in with people, doesn't like hanging around the other crewmembers unless you're bringing her along, a hyper-fixation on machines, and has trouble keeping eye contact.

* WeaponOfChoice: Regardless of what their Captain equips them with, they'll each bust out their signature weapon to unleash their Companion Abilities with the exceptions of SAM (whose weapons are built-in) and Felix (who just dropkicks enemies).

--> '''Ellie:''' These days, I'm more interested in breaking them. Wouldn't mind taking a swing at yours.
