History Characters / TheRedStringsClub

* TheBartender: Donovan is a particularly exceptional bartender according to his patrons. It might be because his drinks really hit the ''spot''... or Soul Node, especially when it's on the more positive side.
--> '''Diana:''' [[spoiler:''[served a glass of Sympathy]'']] Why do you need the information dealing side hustle when you make cocktails this good?\\
'''Diana:''' I'm telling you, you should be a world famous bartender.
* TheEmpath: His "power" being his bartending and drink-making skills with the help of his muse Numen.

* ThePianoPlayer: The very first scene we see inside The Red Strings Club itself includes Brandeis playing the piano.

* EasySexChange: [[spoiler:Hinted at in some parts of the game. Some examples seen in the game are: when the player is finding Dr. Edgar Coldstream's security code which is hinted as "Number of existing Akaras + Larissa's ''former name''" (which is masculine), and when the player uses Larissa's voice to call Karen, she reveals that Larissa uses "gender calibrators," as she calls it.]]

* SecretIdentity: It might not necessarily be a secret identity, but since it is not explicitly stated, it is hinted at and implied that Karen could be [[spoiler:an Akara android who works as a HR manager. This is because she tends to talk a lot about the person (depending which voice the player puts on) more than necessary, which ties in with the traits that Akaras have of being concerned with humans. It is also seen when she calls Edgar (when Brandeis is using his voice) "daddy," as it's stated that Edgar programmed all Akaras to refer to him as "father," and when she includes herself when referring to Akara by using the pronoun "we."]]

Gost is a dealer who can get anything the client wants in less than 24 hours under one condition: "No weapons, no living beings." Also thinks money is overrated. He's one of the supernatural dealers in the game just like Donovan, but unlike Donovan, who is definitely a human, he could be an entity of unknown origin, since [[spoiler:Akara wasn't able to profile him]].

Donovan is a bartender at The Red Strings Club, which works hand-in-hand with his other occupation as an information broker. He works and resides at the Red Strings Club where he is said to be [[spoiler: trapped, or possibly supernaturally-bound to it forever.]]

* [[spoiler:BigBad:]] [[spoiler:It was not until the very end that Brandeis finds out that Akara is the mastermind of it all. This could be hinted if the right choices are made when the player gets the information that Radhika was raised by Akara.]]

* [[spoiler:DeadAllAlong:]] [[spoiler:If given the "Grandpa" implant, his wife will inform the player later that Adrian passed away.]]

Diana Meyes is a 31-year-old Consultant Engineer at Supercontinent Ltd. She also reveals herself to be the [[spoiler:director of Social Psyche Welfare.]]

* TrappedInVillainy: If served the right drink, Donovan can find out that Diana [[spoiler:has some doubts on the ethics of SPW and that she is also scared that Supercontinent Ltd might kill her.]]

* [[spoiler:EasySexChange:]] [[spoiler:Hinted at in some parts of the game. Some examples seen in the game are: when the player is finding Dr. Edgar Coldstream's security code which is hinted as "Number of existing Akaras + Larissa's ''former name''" (which is masculine), and when the player uses Larissa's voice to call Karen, she reveals that Larissa uses "gender calibrators," as she calls it.]]

Radhika is a [[spoiler:15-year-old child prodigy]] and newly assigned [[spoiler:Chief Executive Officer]] of Supercontinent Ltd. It is also revealed that she was [[spoiler:raised by Akara.]]

* BigBad: Mostly unseen, but discussed between the characters. It is later revealed that [[spoiler:Akara is actually the ManBehindTheMan and the true BigBad.]]

* RedHerring: Ever since her existence was found out, she was treated as the BigBad, but it was really [[spoiler:Akara all along.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledMidSentence:]] [[spoiler:When she found out Supercontinent Ltd's plans.]]

* FatalReward: Zigzagged. He is [[spoiler: Akara's "reward" to Donovan after he successfully finishes the game that they're playing. He competes with Donovan at guessing each other's ages by using [[RussianRoulette Russian Roulette]] as a method of getting information out of Donovan. His role as this trope is subverted since he doesn't actually get to kill Donovan. This trope is also inverted if Donovan wins the bet, since Irving will be able to do a job for Donovan instead of killing him.]]

He's one of the supernatural dealers in the game just like Donovan, but unlike Donovan, who is definitely a human, he could be an entity of unknown origin, since [[spoiler: Akara wasn't able to profile him.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has short green hair.

Donovan is a bartender at The Red Strings Club, which works hand-in-hand with his other occupation as an information broker. He works and resides at the Red Strings Club where he is said to be [[spoiler: trapped in or possibly supernaturally-bounded in forever.]]

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Akara passes off as a worker in The Red Strings Club and is also quite well-versed with human society mostly due to the help of research.

* [[spoiler:EasySexChange:]] [[spoiler:Lowkey discussed in some parts of the game. Some examples seen in the game are: when the player is finding Dr. Edgar Coldstream's security code which is hinted as "Number of existing Akaras + Larissa's ''former name''" and when the player uses Larissa's voice to call Karen, who reveals that Larissa uses "gender calibrators" as she calls it.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Dr. Edgar Coldstream doesn't really have the strait-laced personality usually seen in scientists, but he's competent enough to remain on the job as Karen from HR says that his achievements outweigh his blunders or clumsiness. There's that issue with Pink Tequila too.

* RedHerring: Ever since her existence was found out, she was treated as the BigBad, but it was really [[spoiler:Akara.]]

* SecretIdentity: It might not necessarily be a secret identity, but since it is not explicitly stated, it is hinted at and implied that Karen could be [[spoiler:an Akara android who works as a HR manager.

* BequeathedPower: He/she inherits [[spoiler:Ariadne]]'s Wits.
* CoolMask: Qianbing wears a white mask that covers the top half part of his/her face.
* InTheHood: Wears a red hoodie. Doing the "Slav squat" makes him/her look even more badass.

Gost is a dealer who can get anything the client wants in less than 24 hours under one condition: "No weapons, no living beings." Also thinks money is overrated. He's one of the supernatural dealers in the game just like Donovan, but unlike Donovan who is a human, he could be an entity of unknown origin, since [[spoiler: Akara wasn't able to profile him.]]

* ArmsDealer: His appearance suggests this at first, but it is then subverted when he says that he could get whatever Donovan wished for, provided that it's not a weapon or a living being. He may as well be this to Donovan since he provided him with the Red Secret and Blue Whisper which Donovan could utilise in the making of drinks.
* InstantHomeDelivery: Donovan is quite surprised by the fact that Gost was able to acquire the Red Secret and Blue Whisper in less than an hour, especially since he has been trying to get his hands on them for years but to no avail.

Akara-184 is part of the [[spoiler:superintelligent AI called Akara that Supercontinent Ltd has produced]] and is first seen walking in The Red Strings Club damaged. After she is fixed, Donovan disguises her as an employee at The Red Strings Club. ''Note: Akara, including Akara-184, will be referred to as a singular entity in this page.''

* SkullForAHead: His appearance clearly shows that he has a skull for a head. Although it is unknown if it's a mask or if it's really his head, his nature strongly points to the latter.

* [[spoiler:{{Transgender}}:]] [[spoiler:Lowkey discussed in some parts of the game. Some examples seen in the game are: when the player is finding Dr. Edgar Coldstream's security code which is hinted as "Number of existing Akaras + Larissa's ''former name''" and when the player uses Larissa's voice to call Karen, who reveals that Larissa uses "gender calibrators" as she calls it.]]

* DrinkOrder: Implied to be absinthe on the rocks, since that is the very first thing she tries to order.

* [[spoiler:DeadAllAlong:]] [[spoiler:The player doesn't even get a chance to talk to him as he's already dead long before Brandeis tries to call him, a call which is picked up by his wife who tells him the news.]]
