| 12 | ->''"DEMI, we don't 'eliminate irregularities' around here -- we find [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits a way to make them work]]."''\ |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The faceless, sex-and-drugs-obsessed Captain of ''Mary Celeste'' and the PlayerCharacter of the game. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AcePilot: During the Battle of Nü Vegas, he [[spoiler:has single-handedly shot down 50 Imperium ships... in a regular solar starfighter]]. In the game proper, he is the one piloting the [=F3N1X=] during shmup sections. |
| 17 | * TheAlcoholic: The dialogue mentions him being drunk and/or high on drugs most of the time, and there are indications of him DrowningHisSorrows (over the loss of his homeworld, among other things) this way. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Not that it impairs his piloting skills.]] |
| 18 | * AwesomeAussie: The Captain not only speaks with a distinct Australian accent, but also eventually reveals to have been born in the Australian district of Nü Vegas, unsubtly named "Koala" (even though none of the Solars remembers what koalas are anymore). The memories of growing up in Koala don't appear to be particularly fond ones for him, however. |
| 19 | * TheCaptain: He is in command of the ''Mary Celeste'' and, apparently, quite good at it, [[BunnyEarsLawyer despite his antics]]. |
| 20 | * ChivalrousPervert: The Captain will shag anything with a pair of breasts -- but only if the other side also wants it. DEMI points out that, even though she is programmed never to refuse her current owner's advances, the Cap still makes a point of asking what she wants every time. |
| 21 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Downplayed. In his private conversation with Erark, the Captain complains that ever since the destruction of Nü Vegas, he has been drifting through life without any sense of purpose or belonging, and Erark reassures him that the revolution he is planning is a chance for him to find both again. |
| 22 | * EtTuBrute: Is emotionally ''shattered'' when he finds out that [[spoiler:Erark, who he constantly defended throughout the game as a "good lad", was manipulating him all along as part of an elaborate scheme to become Emperor and hired the Huntress to kill the ''Mary Celeste'' crew.]] |
| 23 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The captain is just... "the Captain". Or "Mr. The Captain", if you want to be polite. |
| 24 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: By the time the game opens, the Cap has a lot of experience under his belt, including service in the Solar Navy and a decade as the chief of security on Nü Vegas (before it was bombed into oblivion by the Imperium). |
| 25 | * {{Expy}}: Of Hentai Kamen, the titular protagonist of an obscure Japanese superhero action comedy film. To the point where the captain's infamous mask is a direct ShoutOut to the movie. He also possesses a number of overlapping traits with ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} as a [[SurrealHumor madcap]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall breaking]] AntiHero. |
| 26 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: As mentioned above, the Captain will shag anything and anyone with a pair of breasts, be they of his own species, a robot, or a tentacled xeno. |
| 27 | * TheFaceless: For the purposes of player projection, the Captain's entire head is hidden behind a mask, even during explicit scenes. Given the nature of this game, said mask looks like the Cap has pulled a pair of panties over his face, which is lampshaded by Dallick during optional dialogue. His skin tone is also [[CharacterCustomization customizable]] during H-Scenes, further adding to his purpose as the AudienceSurrogate. |
| 28 | * HeroicLineage: [[spoiler:The Captain's father was none other than the Pilot -- the first person in history to steer a prison barge through a wormhole while keeping everyone on board alive. His mad piloting skills are thus InTheBlood.]] |
| 29 | * InsecureLoveInterest: |
| 30 | ** Towards DEMI. In her Devotion [10] dialogue, he flat-out admits that he doesn't deserve her, causing her to reassure him that she is perfectly happy flying with him and his crew, despite having been designed for much greater tasks and purposes. |
| 31 | ** He also understandibly feels this way towards [[spoiler:Blythe, who is both his old hardass [[SergeantRock commanding officer]]...and his ''[[ParentalSubstitute surrogate]] [[IncestSubtext mother.]]'' During her "recruitment" scene, the Captain expresses how he feels conflicted about wanting to sleep with her in spite of the taboo surrounding their relationship, forcing Blythe to take the lead during their first night together.]] |
| 32 | * JumpedAtTheCall: When Erark tells him they are going to topple the Imperium, the Captain is hesitant at first, but when he learns that the plan involves recruiting (and potentially shagging) a bunch of hot alien {{Action Girl}}s, he jumps waist-deep into it. |
| 33 | * NonActionGuy: ZigZagged. On one hand, the Captain never participates in ground combat, letting his ladies and the mantics take care of the hand-to-hand fighting. On the other, he is the only one to pilot the [=F3N1X=] in space combat (although thanks to Dallick's upgrades, one waifu can also fly shotgun with him). |
| 34 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The Captain is laid back and self-deprecating most of the time, but outright ''explodes'' when [[spoiler:Fortune implies that he doesn't get the implications of Azzorion's confessions at the Temple of Defilement. This is the first time in the entire game where the Cap actually expresses the long-repressed trauma of the destruction of Nü Vegas and how much it still hurts him]]. |
| 35 | * SonOfAWhore: The Captain's mother was a Nü Vegas prostitute, while his father's identity is only known to a select few, like Blythe. Consequently, the Captain has major issues with both of his parents, though less because of his mother's profession, and more because of the fact that she neglected him as a child before dying of a drug overdose, while his father was basically absent from his life from the start. In the context of early Nü Vegas, having prostitute mothers was not all that uncommon, and the Captain, in fact, has quite fond memories of being raised by his mother's colleagues at her brothel ''after'' her death. |
| 36 | * SpecialAttack: His own special attack during shmup sections (i.e. if flying without a waifu) is a slow-moving rocket with a medium blast range which can be detonated remotely and explodes on impact. |
| 37 | * VenturousSmuggler: In addition to hunting pirates, the Captain has been involved in smuggling drugs, especially weed, ever since he had found the ''Mary Celeste''. His and DEMI's first real mission with the ship has actually been to round up samples of every drug that the Imperium had declared illegal, then to distribute them among the dealers of the galaxy, single-handedly foiling the galactic government's crackdown on narcotics. This event made the Captain famous among the stoners of the galaxy (like Dallick) for making the Chronic Run in [[FourTwentyBlazeIt 420]] parsecs. |

| 41 | [[folder:''Mary Celeste'']] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | !!The ''Mary Celeste'' |
| 44 | A mysterious top-of-the-line space frigate discovered by the Captain drifting through deep space with no crew and no manifest. |
| 45 | ---- |
| 46 | * GhostShip: This is how the Captain had found her in the back-story. |
| 47 | * MeaningfulName: While it is not spelled out in game, the Captain had obviously named her after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Celeste sailing ship]] similarly found adrift and crew-less back on Earth. |
| 48 | * SpaceFighter: The ship comes with a landing bay for her own space fighter, the [=F3N1X=], which is just as super as she is, being capable of reaching insane speeds and turning on a dime in combat. According to the Codex, the [=F3N1X=] was created by the Imperium as the next generation space fighter, but then mothballed as they came to realize that it would be much more dangerous in the hands of opportunistic criminals (like the Captain) than with their own regular military. |
| 49 | * StealthInSpace: ''Mary Celeste'' is specifically a stealth cruiser. How its stealth system works is never elaborated, and most key characters, like both Dallick and the Huntress, can detect her with ease, anyway. |
| 50 | * SuperPrototype: Nobody knows exactly where the ''Mary Celeste'' came from, but Dallick suspects that she had been a black ops project by an unknown faction whose cover was blown and they had to dump the ship. |

| 54 | !! Waifus |
| 55 | |
| 56 | [[folder:Common waifu tropes]] |
| 57 | Tropes common to all waifus: |
| 58 | ---- |
| 59 | * ActionGirl: Except DEMI, each waifu is a competent ground combat commander and [=F3N1X=] gunner, and even DEMI is an AcePilot in her own right, [[spoiler:and that's not counting her [[SuperpoweredEvilSide secret "slut mode"]]]]. |
| 60 | * BattleHarem: At least when it comes to ground combat, the Captain is a complete non-factor, letting the waifus (and the mantics) do all the fighting. |
| 61 | * FusionDance: As of v0.5.0, each waifu has the option to merge with a mantic in ground combat to unleash the [[SuperMode DEVA Mode]] onto her enemies. |
| 62 | * GratuitousJapanese: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga#waifu "Waifu"]] is the ''wasei-eigo'' form of the English "wife", used to describe female love interests in Japanese visual media. |
| 63 | * PartyOfRepresentatives: The full waifu roster covers most of the humanoid species of Prodigium: solars, vanerrans, kloi, nikith, teelee, mawsus, and even artificially intelligent robots. The biggest ones missing are the senu and the ord. |
| 64 | * RelationshipValues: Each waifu has a Devotion level, which goes up along with her character level as she commands ground combat or flies with the Captain on space missions (since DEMI cannot do either, her Devotion meter instead [[LeakedExperience goes up whenever any other waifu's does]] -- albeit at only 50% rate). Gaining a Devotion level gives that waifu a "Pooter Point", which can be used to unlock additional explicit content for her. At the end of Act I, you also unlock the ability to give gifts (which are the main type of combat loot) to the waifus to boost their Devotion, with more points gained from presents preferred by the respective waifu. |
| 65 | * SpecialAttack: In space combat, each waifu has a different secondary weapon she equips onto the [=F3N1X=] if chosen to fly shotgun. |

| 76 | |
| 77 | Originally an advanced personal assistant android, DEMI has been rebuilt into a {{Sexbot}} by her previous owner, before being rescued by the Captain and joining his crew. She is the first "waifu" of the game. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * AcePilot: In addition to her language skills, she is also described as an exceptional navigator and combat pilot by the codex. |
| 80 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Heavily implied to be the reason why DEMI is so devoted to the Captain and chose to leave with him despite belonging to another master. Unlike Tibold, the Captain always asks for consent before making any of his advances and treats her more as a person rather than a piece of property. |
| 81 | * BehindEveryGreatMan: Most of the Captain's successes as a freelance outlaw would have never happened without DEMI having his back, but being an illegal artificial intelligence, she can never receive public recognition. |
| 82 | * CunningLinguist: DEMI is equipped with an Adaptive Language Learning module, which goes beyond the ubiquitous [[TranslatorMicrobes Universal Translator]] chips in learning and emulating the speech and language patterns of anyone she interacts with, allowing her to quickly bond with them. |
| 83 | * DamselInDistress: When the crew arrives in Griffin Nebula, [[spoiler:DEMI is kidnapped by the Huntress and delivered to the Requital]]. Subverted when [[spoiler:the crew manages to track her down, as in the middle of their rescue mission, HARR-E's torture unexpectedly activates DEMI's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide "slut mode"]], and she proceeds to tear her way through the Requital troops on her own, until Fortune manages to hack her and to deactivate it]]. |
| 84 | * DoAnythingRobot: As a prototype personal assistant android, DEMI has been designed from the ground up to be adept in myriad of vocations including navigation, piloting, interpreting languages, and combat. Ironically, her primary purpose as a SexBot was a recent addition courtesy of the black market modifications added to her chassis by her previous owner, Dread Lord Tibold. |
| 85 | * EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: DEMI is the sweetest and most considerate person on the ''Mary Celeste'', yet [[spoiler:among waifus, she also has it the hardest to accept the Huntress as a crewmate. Given what she had to go through when the Huntress captured her, it's understandable]]. |
| 86 | * HighHeeledFeet: Stiletto heels seem to have been built directly into her chassis. |
| 87 | * LastOfHerKind: DEMI is one of the last artificially intelligent androids created before the Great AI Purge, and one of the few surviving ones. While the Imperium doesn't actively hunt her, they'd destroy her on the spot given an opportunity. |
| 88 | * LossOfIdentity: DEMI's Devotion [10] dialogue reveals that Tibold has performed a factory reset after first acquiring her, leaving only her personality in tact with no memories of how she had developed it. This caused her to be extremely uncertain of who she is and how she should behave, especially after the Captain rescued and began treating her like a fellow sentient being. |
| 89 | * RecruitmentByRescue: The Captain first met her during his attempt to steal the [=F3N1X=] from Tibold. She has just been subjected to a factory reset and had her chassis partially dismantled, so she couldn't escape on her own and offered the Captain to hack the military-grade security systems of the [=F3N1X=] in return for her rescue. [[RescueRomance They've been together ever since.]] |
| 90 | * RobotGirl: A RidiculouslyHumanRobot with overtly feminine and jiggly chassis. |
| 91 | * SciFiBobHaircut: Her head is shaped to look like she is wearing an asymmetric bob cut. |
| 92 | * SeriesMascot: While it's not a series, DEMI is featured the most in promotional materials, including her central spot on the official poster. Interestingly, WordOfGod is that her role in the original script had been a lot smaller, but seeing [[BreakoutCharacter her popularity skyrocket among Kickstarter backers]], they have greatly expanded her role until she effectively became the face of the game. |
| 93 | * {{Sexbot}}: DEMI has been remodeled into one by her previous owner, Dread Lord Tibold. |
| 94 | * SpaceshipGirl: Downplayed. For story purposes, DEMI is inseparable from the ''Mary Celeste'', but they are technically entirely unrelated entities. In the backstory, she has even served as the mainframe of Dread Lord Tibold's flagship. |
| 95 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:When she is captured and tortured by the Requital, HARR-E accidentally triggers a defense mechanism that shifts her into "slut mode". Contrary to its name (and her own MadnessMantra while it's active), it does not make her have sex with everyone on board, but rather ''slaughter'' them in the most efficient manner possible. Her rampage is only ended when Fortune manages to hack into her and to reset her system.]] |
| 96 | * SuperPrototype: APEX-17 has been the most advanced series of personal assistant androids ever produced, and with its creators, the Apex Industries, shut down during the Great AI Purge and with all the upgrades applied to her by her current and previous owners, DEMI is likely the most advanced droid in the galaxy. |
| 97 | * SympatheticAdulterer: Dread Lord Tibold, DEMI's original owner, was a hateful and abusive ControlFreak who apparently was just as [[LousyLoversAreLosers terrible in the bedroom as he was a person]]. After the Captain rescues and recruits her as a member of his own crew, DEMI practically jumps at the chance to [[EmasculatedCuckold humiliate Tibold]] during his attempts to reclaim her by rubbing in just how much [[BiggerIsBetterInBed bigger]] the Captain is by comparison. |
| 98 | * TooKinkyToTorture: [[spoiler:During her captivity aboard the ''SN/SS Turbulence'', she utterly humiliates HARR-E in his attempts to pry any information about the revolution out of her by expressing disappointment in most of his sadistic hacking techniques and actively enjoying a few that do get through her defenses.]] |
| 99 | * UndyingLoyalty: To the Captain. Story-wise, even when Fortune hacks and rootkits her, DEMI finds a way to serve the Captain by reporting to him what data exactly Fortune has accessed and when. Gameplay-wise, her Devotion stat goes up whenever any other waifu's does, compensating for the fact that she cannot go on combat missions; this also means that unless you deploy the same two waifus in all combat encounters, DEMI will quickly outpace the rest in Devotion after Ela's recruitment, at the latest. |

| 111 | A bioweapon engineer in charge of breeding the Manticores ("mantics" for short) aboard the ship. She is the second waifu to be recruited. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * BoldlyComing: This, i.e. sexual compatibility of various Prodigium species, is her core area of research. She also has sex with the Mantics she creates as her favorite pasttime. |
| 114 | * ColdSniper: Having served in the Solar military, she is an excellent marksman in addition to her medical skill. When flying shotgun with the Captain, the [=F3N1X=] gains her signature long-range sniping SpecialAttack. In terms of personality, while her demeanor is conspicuously outgoing, it is clearly a mask to hide her true feelings and agenda at all times. |
| 115 | * CombatMedic: One of her passive abilities lets her heal her most injured ally at the start of every other turn. She had also served as a platoon medic during her time in the Solar military. |
| 116 | * IcyBlueEyes: Lily's piercing blue eyes befit her aloof, calculating persona. |
| 117 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Part of her signature attire, which she seems to sport for aesthetic value alone, since the way she wears it (open all the way on the front) misses all practical points of wearing one. |
| 118 | * MsExposition: As the resident scientist aboard the ship, it falls to her do deliver exposition dumps about the setting's species in her optional dialogue. |
| 119 | * SexIsViolence: Fighting turns Lily on, big time. The first time she sleeps with the Captain, it is specifically to unwind after storming a pirate flagship. It's even built into her playstyle as the passive ability "Randy", which gradually increases her damage output with every turn. |
| 120 | * SexWithTheEx: [[spoiler:Lily and Blythe have more Pandora scenes with each other than any other pair of waifus.]] |
| 121 | * SpecialAttack: When she flies with the Captain, the [=F3N1X=]'s special attack changes to a long-range beam for sniping enemies from afar. |
| 122 | * StacysMom: ''Technically'' she could be considered an example of this trope given how she's essentially the Mantic's "mother" [[note]] She IS shown giving birth to them in one of the official doujins but its canonicity is dubious at best [[/note]] and being explicitly referred to as a MILF. |
| 123 | * SupportPartyMember: ZigZagged. While she is a powerful combatant, her passive ability "Randy" makes her attacks much more deadly in the later turns of ground combat, making it more viable to spend the early rounds buffing and healing the mantics. |
| 124 | * WorkingWithTheEx: [[spoiler:Lily and Blythe's relationship was much more than professional during their time at the Requital. After Blythe ends up on the ''Mary Celeste'', a ''lot'' of bad blood comes up in their conversations.]] |

| 136 | The former commander of the pirate Dread Fleet, before her throne was usurped by Tibold, Killi is now after two things: {{revenge}} on Tibold and the treasure trove of the Dread Fleet's commander before her. Her recruitment (as the third waifu) comprises the bulk of Act I storyline. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AgonyOfTheFeet: One of her special attacks slashes at the target's feet, preventing them from moving on their next turn. |
| 139 | * AliensOfLondon: Speaks in a distinctly British accent despite [[RubberForeheadAliens (technically)]] not being human. |
| 140 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: Her optional dialogue when settling in on the ''Mary Celeste'' reveals that she collects items of the Solars' material culture, and she gets incensed that the Captain doesn't share her fascination. [[spoiler:This is because, with her own homeworld effectively destroyed, her species has no material culture left to speak of.]] |
| 141 | * CoolBigSis: Surprisingly, once she mellows out and settles down as the bar keeper on the ship, she grows into somewhat of a voice-of-reason role, especially for Taron. Which doesn't stop her from sleeping with the nikith the first thing after her recruitment. |
| 142 | * CulturedBadass: For a pirate who ostensibly only cares for sex, violence, and plunder, Killi is surprisingly erudite and well-spoken when she wants to. In her Devotion [20] dialogue, she reveals that this is because [[spoiler:in her teens, she was actually sent to the Sacrarium Abbey by her foster parents to be trained as a "Lady of the Veil" -- effectively a [[WarriorMonk warrior nun]]-slash-missionary for the Imperium (though she obviously never took the vows)]]. |
| 143 | * DesignatedPointMan: Killi's role on the ''Mary Celeste'' is "primary strike team specialist", according to the Codex. |
| 144 | * EyepatchOfPower: Befitting a pirate, she wears an patch over her right eye. How she lost it, however, is yet to be revealed (or whether she even lost it at all, as she casually mentions winking to the Captain under the eye patch at one point). |
| 145 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Killi is described as the [[DesignatedPointMan primary strike team specialist]] by the Codex, and many non-combat events describe her leading away teams on dangerous missions, but her short attack range makes her a subpar leader in actual ground combat, as both Lily and Ela don't need to waste their first turns getting into melee range, while Taron has the same movement speed as Killi, but can pounce at range ''and'' does more base damage. Even her high base HP barely offsets the damage she inevitably takes while closing the distance to the enemies or if dogpiled by them in melee. In fact, Killi is much better off flying shotgun on ''space'' missions, where her close-range blast special attack is surprisingly versatile against many types of ships. |
| 146 | ** On another note, one of her dialogue options with the Captain suggests that, in the bedroom, she's very dominatrix-like, but most of the actual sex scenes involving her- including with the Captain- have her gladly allowing her partner(s) to have their way with her, and generally being much more of a submissive [[TheLadette than you'd expect;]] you can probably count on your hands the number of times in total that Killi actually tops someone or is the one taking charge, and it'll still only be ''half'' (at most) of the number of times she isn't. |
| 147 | * HairTriggerTemper: Killi has massive anger management issues, being angry at something or other most of the time. The destruction of her homeworld by the Imperium and the usurpation of her fleet by Tibold didn't help it, though killing the usurper and retrieving her mentor's treasure does cause her to calm down enough to set up a bar on the ''Mary Celeste''. |
| 148 | * HiddenDepths: While Killi makes an initial impression of a permanently-angry [[TheLadette Lad-ette]] only interested in fights, sex, and booze, her optional dialogue sequences reveal her as a highly erudite and insightful individual, [[spoiler:having trained as a Lady of the Veil before her turn to piracy]], with a geeky hobby that is simultaneously quite sad ([[spoiler:collecting solar memorabilia in lieu of the extinguished vanneran material culture]]). |
| 149 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: As the dedicated physical melee fighter of the crew, her weapon is a futuristic katana, of course. |
| 150 | * LargeHam: Killi has some major anger issues, so she doesn't seem to be able stop chewing the scenery. For instance, leveling up her Devotion causes her to bellow "THE DREAD QUEEN RISES!" at the top of her lungs. |
| 151 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is portmanteau of "kill" and "collision", reflecting her explosively violent nature. |
| 152 | * MentorArchetype: Killi has been discovered and tutored as a pirate by the Dread Lord Gornagoth the Snucklefucker, the greatest pirate warlord in history, who actually managed to retire, naming her as his successor. He also left her a piece of the TreasureMap leading to his legendary treasure. |
| 153 | * NippleAndDimed: Very much [[AvertedTrope averted]], as her areolas are ''always'' visible. |
| 154 | * PirateGirl: Her title "Dread Queen" marks her as the former commander of the Dread Fleet, and even after her deposition, she has continued her raids on the Imperium ships with the few crews that remained loyal to her. |
| 155 | * PrehensileTail: Her tail is very flexible and is used both to help her emote and for, let's say, PowerPerversionPotential. |
| 156 | * RebelLeader: While the Dread Fleet was still under her control, she used it to channel her anger at the Imperium for destroying her homeworld and raided imperial ships and planets. Erark recalls a story of how she showed up alone at a gala he was hosting, slaughtered the security, and robbed everyone blind. |
| 157 | * {{Revenge}}: Two of Killi's three core drives revolve around revenge: against Tibold for usurping the Dread Fleet, and against the Imperium for their genocide of Vanerra. |
| 158 | * SpecialAttack: When she flies with the Captain, the [=F3N1X=]'s special attack changes to a ShortRangeShotgun with a wide spread. It is devestating to large ships at short range and clears the field of multiple small ships at mid rage. |
| 159 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When the Captain first meets Killi over Svyatogor, she leads what appears to be a squadron of pirate ships that remained loyal to her even after Tibold's coup. They are never seen, heard from, or mentioned again after Killi comes aboard the ''Mary Celeste'', despite being a potentially valuable asset to the revolution. |

| 170 | ->''"This revolution stuff is pretty easy."''\ |
| 171 | |
| 172 | A [[SpaceElves kloi]] archer and porn star. The fourth waifu, added with the October 2021 update. |
| 173 | ---- |
| 174 | * TheAce: Formerly one of the best, most storied, and celebrated of the kloi military's soldiers. She has numerous medals and still holds the records for some impressive feats like the longest snipe shot, most consecutive shots to certain parts of the body, and in general the most confirmed kills in any single engagement or military campaign. |
| 175 | * AggressiveSubmissive: Ela is very forward with her desire to sleep with ''everyone'', but her actual sex scenes mostly have her in a passive enjoyment role. During the Kickstarter campaign, the devs have actually ranked her the most submissive out of all the waifus. |
| 176 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Kloi tend to have human-like complexions, and hers just happens to be a deep brown. Whatever this means in the context of kloi society isn't explored in gameplay, if there even is any meaning to it, as the kloi judge primarily on physical attractiveness, period. |
| 177 | * CareerEndingInjury: Parodied. How did Ela go from being a highly-decorated and legendary military veteran to a KAV? She broke a nail after having some intimate times with a fellow soldier and was no longer able to fire her bow in the specific stance prescribed by Kloi Military Manual. The Captain expresses disbelief at the Kloi supposedly letting go of such an incredibly effective soldier, upon which Ela counters that the Kloi are always about keeping up appearances. Any one of them could shoot an energy bow and kill an enemy, what matters is ''that you look good doing it.'' |
| 178 | * DefectorFromDecadence: She explicitly says that living with the kloi means being constantly surrounded by the most beautiful members of the most beautiful species of the galaxy, surrounded by luxurious fashion and creature comforts, with universal fame and recognition thanks to being the most popular KAV star ever. However, even perfection gets boring for her and her desire to explore the universe, meet (and have fun with) other species, and break the Imperium's draconic censorship laws prove to be too strong a temptation to ignore. |
| 179 | * HomingProjectile: Her special secondary attack in space combat is a [[MacrossMissileMassacre volley of homing arrows]] that locks onto multiple targets. |
| 180 | * MasterArcher: Her specialty is using a kloi energy bow and arrows, never missing her targets. Even her ship special homes in and curves sideways on firing, making it nigh-impossible to miss so long as something CAN be hit. |
| 181 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Was exiled ''and'' imprisoned for publicly announcing her desire to have sex with other species -- something the kloi consider near sacrilege. |
| 182 | * ValleyGirl: She talks with a lot of "likes" and "whatevers", though to be fair to her, most of her species seems to do that. |

| 190 | ->Species: Nikith\ |
| 191 | Height: 6'0" (183 cm)\ |
| 192 | Voiced by: Milly Stern\ |
| 193 | |
| 194 | A [[CatGirl nikith]] infiltration specialist. The fifth waifu of the game, added with the March 2022 update. |
| 195 | ---- |
| 196 | * TheAce: Of stealthy infiltrations, burglaries, and other covert ops. The crew thought she was part of a team of highly trained thieves and spies, only to learn that her epic heist of over 10,000 pieces of confiscated adult toys from the Imperium was her acting ''solo''. |
| 197 | * BizarreAlienBiology: Despite the nikith being a warm-blooded, mammalian species strongly resembling humans and being very compatible in many ways, they are still ''aliens'' and have some truly bizarre adaptations. A conversation with Lily has her explaining that, like amphibians, nikith can draw in moisture through their skin, which is why they like high-humidity environments such as rain forests, are capable of long, drawn-out athletics without exhausting themselves, and, most relevantly for the Captain, Taron is capable of producing unusually, extremely large amounts of certain bodily fluids. |
| 198 | * CatGirl: The nikith (likely from Japanese "neko", for "cat") have large cat ears, fluffy tails, and paws for hands and feet (albeit with developed and dexterous fingers), as well as patches of fur across their bodies. |
| 199 | * CountryMouse: Having only recently left behind the nikith hunter-gatherer society, Taron is not yet fully comfortable with advanced galactic civilization, despite her fascination with its technology. |
| 200 | * EndearinglyDorky: Taron is socially awkward and often insecure in dialogue, but the Captain and the rest of the crew like her more for it. |
| 201 | * {{Foil}}: To Ela. Ela is a worldly, supremely self-confident, and sexually liberated woman from one of the oldest and most advanced species of the galaxy, while Taron is a CountryMouse (or cat) with ShrinkingViolet tendencies who is just discovering her sexuality, from a species that is still in its hunter-gatherer phase. The fact that they are recruited back-to-back only intensifies this contrast. |
| 202 | * GadgeteerGenius: Because of her extreme love for inanimate objects (especially adult toys) and technology in general, Taron has learned to maintain, study, and even create her own gadgets, enabling her to help Dallick in maintaining the ship. Her custom-set of burglar's tools is one of the most advanced in the galaxy and is capable of helping her break through pretty much any security system, so long as she knows it exists and has had time to study how it works. |
| 203 | * IfItsYouItsOkay: Because of a health condition (solar male pheromones induce in her an unstoppable and insatiable urge to masturbate), Taron has only had sex with other women before coming to the ''Mary Celeste''. If asked about it, she will admit that the Captain was the first man she's been with in her life. |
| 204 | * JustLikeRobinHood: Taron has suffered from anorgasmia for most of her life before she discovered sex toys. Her life's ambition is to steal all the sex toys locked away in Imperium vaults and private collections and to distribute them freely among the people of Prodigium, in hopes of helping fellow chronic anorgasmiacs like herself. |
| 205 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: In her optional dialogue, Taron casually mentions having at least 29 brothers back on her homeworld. |
| 206 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Much of nikith society is voluntarily stuck in hunter-gatherer societies level of organization and technology, especially with their leaders all being made up of extremely conservative elders. Most older nikith believe that life is perfect the way it is, they do not need or want the protections and technological advancements of the Imperium, and advanced technology like guns and spaceships are unneeded, at best, unless they happen to open cans of fish. Taron vehemently protests this, citing problems such as simple infections that are untreatable by the nikith but could have easily been cured with a simple prescription at any modernized hospital, and of course, because her intellectual and (more often than not) sexual interest in all things technology. |
| 207 | * NerdGasm: If the Captain asks Taron about the ''Mary Celeste'', she will start fangirling over the ship's specs in overtly (if likely unintentionally) sexualized ways. |
| 208 | * NoSocialSkills: Between her only having left her planet a few years back, her specialization in ''not'' being seen by others, and her preference for machines and gadgets over organics, Taron is very introverted and tends to display little social graces. |
| 209 | * OpenMouthInsertFoot: Taron is not good at speaking with people, so she tends to slide down FreudianSlipperySlope, like in her very first introduction scene where her report on the security deficiencies of the ''Mary Celeste'' ends up sounding like a porn movie script. |
| 210 | * PhantomThief: After parting ways with the crew who originally took her off-world, Taron has mostly worked alone... but everyone (including the Captain) thinks she has an entire crew of her own because a) nobody has ever seen her on a job and b) her heist are so difficult, no way anyone can pull them off by oneself. |
| 211 | * SheFu: Perhaps fittingly for a cat-inspired species of apex jungle predators, Taron's fighting style involves a lot of flips, acrobatic jumps, and pouncing. Her basic attack involves her leaping at an enemy, clawing at them, before launching off her target back to her original position, all with the greatest of ease. |
| 212 | * StealthExpert: Taron official role on the ''Mary Celeste'' is the infiltration specialist. She is particularly thrilled about being on her crew because ''MC'' is also a ''stealth'' cruiser and an especially large and technologically advanced one at that, capable of moving at great speeds without being picked up by even the best detection systems. |
| 213 | * ThreePointLanding: Does one upon dropping down from the vents in her introductory scene, to establish herself as a stealthy and agile fighter with a flair for theatric. |
| 214 | * WaifFu: Taron may not look like much, muscle or build-wise, but as a nikith, she has physical strength, speed, and agility ''far'' exceeding most humans and other humanoid species of the Prodigium. She's easily one of the most mobile and acrobatic of the waifus, using only her claws and her jungle hunting skills to rip apart her foes while largely avoiding being in the way of danger herself. |

| 220 | [[quoteright:374:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/profile_sova2.jpg]] |
| 221 | ->Species: Teelee\ |
| 222 | Height: 3'6" (107 cm)\ |
| 223 | Voiced by: Samantha Flowers\ |
| 224 | |
| 225 | The heiress apparent to the throne of the Teelee Empire, Sova is much more interested in drinking, fighting, and having sex, much to the disappointment of her royal parents. The sixth waifu, added with the May 2022 update. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * AncestralWeapon: Mjolnqweer is a royal family relic, originally created for Sova's ancestor, the teelee warrior-king Scrodin, and reclaimed by her from the royal vaults when she decided to become a fighter. |
| 228 | * BeneathTheMask: Publicly, Sova projects a T-pop IdolSinger-like image of ThePollyanna expected from a royal princess, but in private (mainly towards her parents and her close associates), she shows her true face of a jaded and bitter fighter thoroughly disappointed by her species. |
| 229 | * BizarreAlienBiology: Especially compared to humans, Teelee have some ''very'' weird biology and adaptations that give them some unique advantages. |
| 230 | ** They all have a specialized organ that enables them to drink alcohol, get drunk, but avoid the inevitable poisoning to their livers, brains, and other internal organs. This is why Sova is such a LadyDrunk and expresses surprise, shock, and disappointment that humans do not have the same while drinking as much as they do. This does not work for illegal drugs, however, which is why Sova refuses to partake in illegal drugs like much of the rest of the cast. |
| 231 | ** The Teelee have some ''extremely'' soft and elastic bodies. In response to physical trauma, they merely deform and bend around the force and the object used to cause it, rendering them barely harmed. Even their internal organs can be physically displaced and shift about while continuing to function as normal. DEMI and Lily both note this is what makes Sova such an excellent brawler in-game and in-story, as you need to do a ''lot'' of serious damage to so much as bruise her. This also has recreational applications the Captain and Sova are both eager to take advantage of. |
| 232 | * DrugsAreBad: One of the few crew members who rejects drugs on principle (except for alcohol). This is both because her species unique filtration organ only works for alcohol and she doesn't want to seriously poison herself and hamper her performance in the fighting arena. |
| 233 | * {{Expy}}: Her hard drinking personality, royal background, and preference for using a hammer pegs her as one to Thor, especially the Creator/MarvelComics version. |
| 234 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As noted above in BizarreAlienBiology, Telee are notoriously difficult to hurt, because their incredibly soft, elastic bodies render them extremely resilient to most forms of physical trauma, as they will literally bounce back from most blows. Sova is also the group's resident Tank, able to absorb the most damage and last the longest in a fight even without healing. |
| 235 | * HumongousHeadedHammer: Her signature weapon in ground combat is Mjolnqweer -- a warhammer whose head's size is comparable to that of ''Sova herself''. |
| 236 | * LadyDrunk: As a result of disappointment in her family and species and a frustrated desire to spite them, Sova became a raging alcoholic, though because the teelee have actually evolved entire specialized organs to safely break down alcohol, she never suffers any negative side effects. Even so, DEMI calculates that her alcohol capacity far outpaces any other teelee of her age and size. |
| 237 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She is by far the smallest member of the crew, but her combat role is that of a [[DamagerHealerTank tank]], thanks to a combination of good defenses and lots of hit points. |
| 238 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Despite her a cutesy public persona, the official website says she is actually 918 years old (which is the teelee equivalent of late-20s-to-early-30s in solar/human years, according to Lily). |
| 239 | * RebelliousPrincess: Sova is a ''bona fide'' teelee princess -- the next in line for the teelee throne, in fact, -- but she hates all the obligations placed upon her as a result and would rather live her life as she sees fit. She doesn't mind ''being'' a princess (and she has extensive plans for when she's ''queen''), but cannot stand ''acting'' the part. |
| 240 | * ToBeAMaster: Her recruitment mission has the Captain help her win the Grandmaster title of the Teelee Fighting Championship -- something no teelee woman has ever achieved and something Sova has been working towards for a very long time. |

| 248 | |
| 249 | Dr. Lily's BioweaponBeast creations, deployed as shock troops and support during ground combat. |
| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * AcidAttack: Chodestool spits acid as a ranged physical attack. |
| 252 | * BestialityIsDepraved: Defied; Despite being non-sapient creatures who have their own sex scenes with the girls it's not treated as anything particularly out there. |
| 253 | * BlindWeaponmaster: Bulgetto fights with its fists, but still fits, as he doesn't have eyes but manages to be a formidable fighter. The Codex entry on the Dominus explains that this is due to the current battlefield commander instructing Bulgetto exactly where to strike, effectively serving as its eyes. |
| 254 | * CameBackWrong: Dromstik was created from the remains of (and named after) Lily's childhood pet, but his FlavorText claims that the result was nothing like the original. |
| 255 | * CanineCompanion: The name "Dromstik" originally belonged to a dog whom Lily had as a child and who was [[LookBothWays killed by a drunk space trucker]], inspiring her to become a biologist to resurrect him. |
| 256 | * FragileSpeedster: Dromstik is a melee unit but has low HP so he cannot take a lot of punishment. He compensates with his passive, which allows him to move back behind his allies and to take a defensive stance after he drops an enemy. |
| 257 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:The Waifus can fuse with them using DEVA mode, allowing the women to access a superpowerful state of mass destruction for a limited time.]] |
| 258 | * LegoGenetics: This is the main idea behind the Mantics: Dr. Lily simply smashes together some DNA strands to produce a fighting monster combining traits of the original species. |
| 259 | * SlaveCollar: All mantics wear "Dominus collars", which allow a person to command them in battle despite their limited intelligence. |
| 260 | * SupportPartyMember: Rekall does not have a direct melee or a ranged attack: instead, his basic combat move is lightly damaging all enemies within a certain distance and restoring a corresponding amount of HP to all allies within the same range, making him only the second healer after Lily. |
| 261 | * VirileStallion: Invoked by the design of Equicox -- a bipedal equine with a massive dong, which it uses for its SpecialAttack. |
| 262 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The mantics are specifically designed, both in- and out-of-universe, to serve as meat shields for the waifus. |

| 272 | |
| 273 | A genius mechanic whenever he is not stoned out of his mind, Dallick maintains the machinery of ''Mary Celeste'' and the [=F3N1X=]. |
| 274 | ---- |
| 275 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Due to his deformity, Dallick has been mostly ignored by his own people as a child, leaving him to grow up alone on a scrapyard. |
| 276 | * TheEngineer: This is Dallick's role aboard the ''Mary Celeste'' -- maintaining the machinery of the ship, as well as upgrading it as necessary. One of the first things he does after recruitment is upgrading the [=F3N1X=] with modular auxiliary weapons system, allowing the Captain to use the waifus' specialty weapons on space missions. |
| 277 | * ExtremeLibido: Vanerrans are infamous for their extreme libido, and Dallick is no exception. He ''is'' an exception, however, in that he seems to suffer from some kind of dwarfism, as most male Vanerrans are twice as tall and hunkier than him, making him rely on prostitutes to satisfy his urges. |
| 278 | * GadgeteerGenius: Having grown up on a scrapyard and isolated from his peers, Dallick has developed an intuitive understanding of machines of all shapes and forms. |
| 279 | * GagPenis: PlayedWith, since male Vanerrans apparently can vary their penis size almost arbitrarily to suit their partners' needs. Dallick outright tells Killi that his junk can get as large as she wants... that is, ''if'' she ever wants him at all. |
| 280 | * TheHermit: Dallick has lived many years perfectly content and alone at his Keisterstation, until the Captain manages to convince him that with the Fuccbott threat on the rise, it would be safer for him to join his crew. |
| 281 | * PantsFree: Unintentionally. Like all male Vanerrans, Dallick never wears pants for complex cultural reasons, but whenever you talk with him, everything below his waist is concealed by the text panel. |
| 282 | * TheStoner: The first time we see him, he is already stoned and takes some time to realize that the Captain is not his dealer bringing him another fix. |

| 292 | |
| 293 | A mysterious hacker who ropes the Captain into the plot to overthrow the Imperium. [[spoiler:She eventually joins the crew as the seventh waifu.]] |
| 294 | ---- |
| 295 | * {{Blackmail}}: Her preferred method of securing operatives' cooperation involved blackmailing them. |
| 296 | * BrickJoke: In one of their first on-screen conversations, the Captain dismisses Fortune's ass as a 6 out of 10, to which she objects, saying it's "at least 7/10". Much, much later on, [[spoiler:after having a heart-to-heart in person, he reassesses her ass as at least an 8/10, prompting her to chuckle and to wonder why she had ever expected anything more profound out of him]]. |
| 297 | * CovertPervert: She has a very professional attitude and doesn't express the same interest in drugs or sex that the rest of the crew does, but DEMI reveals that in the past Fortune's hacking accidentally led her to a porn video of DEMI and the Captain. She disconnected, then reconnected for a minute, then reconnected for ten minutes while looking through the video. [[spoiler:Much later, she admits to having developed a voyeurism habit as a result of her extremely isolated upbringing and lifestyle.]] |
| 298 | * GoodIsNotNice: As a vigilante, Fortune primarily uses her computer hacking skills for just causes. But she also isn't above using tactics like blackmail and extortion to get what she wants. She's even threatened to hack DEMI and have her fly the ''Mary Celeste'' to the nearest sun if the Captain refuses to comply with her wishes. |
| 299 | * LuckySeven: [[spoiler:"Fortune" being another term for "luck", it shouldn't really be all that surprising that Fortune is the seventh waifu.]] |
| 300 | * OffTheGrid: No one knows anything about Fortune, as she has carefully erased all information about her past. [[spoiler:This is because she was sold on the chutt black market as a baby, and lived most of her life literally underground.]] |
| 301 | * OnlySaneWoman: Compared to the Captain's rather colorful crew, Fortune sports an extremely no-nonsense attitude. In fact, she did all she could to ''avoid'' working with the Captain again (after he absconded with her half of the loot on their last job). |
| 302 | * RaisedByWolves: [[spoiler:By ''chutts'', to be more specific. Her junkie parents sold her as a baby to a chutt slaver named Opahoonta, who kept her locked up in his basement on Dar-Grukaasha until she finally escaped at 12. That said, he did treat her much better than any other chutt slaver would, and while their relationship history positively ''reeks'' of parental abuse, he does think of her as his daughter, has fostered and payrolled her hacking talents, and is fully supportive of her revolutionary agenda.]] |
| 303 | * TeenGenius: She learned to code before she could walk, hacked into high-security Imperium banks before she was 10, and built a combat mech [[Film/IronMan1 from a box of scraps]] at 12, and started planning a revolution by the time most solars start high school. |

| 312 | ---- |
| 313 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Becomes this as of the July 2023 update. With Kasidora and the Imperium Senate cut off from the rest of the galaxy and General Blythe pulling a HeelFaceTurn, Erark becomes the sole main antagonist of the game as he betrays the Captain and attempts to marry Celestina so that he can crown himself Emperor.]] |
| 314 | * BigBrotherMentor: To the Captain, as he subtly and not-so-subtly prods him to get out of his current rut. Also, unbeknownst to the Captain, he is a mentor figure to [[spoiler:Empress Celestina, though his motives may be much less pure in this case]]. |
| 315 | * BigFun: Erark is a rather corpulent xeno who is infamous for his debauchery. Back when Nü Vegas was a thing, he even bonded with the Captain over their shared love of drugs and sex. |
| 316 | * EngineeredHeroics: [[spoiler:The July 2023 update reveals that the true reason he acted as a benefactor for the Captain's revolution and the Requital was to use the Captain and Blythe as boogeymen to scare the galactic community before he then swooped in and saved the day by destroying them, turning himself into a galactic hero in the eyes of the public and earning himself the love of Celestina, who he wants to marry so he can declare himself Emperor.]] |
| 317 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:It eventually turns out that Erark is a power-hungry [[TheStarscream Starscream]] who was just using the ''Mary Celeste'' crew and the Requital to overthrow Kasidora so that he could replace her as [[TheManBehindTheMan the true power behind the throne]]. He only romanced Celestina to manipulate her into becoming his PuppetQueen so that he could crown himself TheEmperor of the Imperium. Once he decides that the Captain and General Blythe [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness have outlived their usefulness to his plans]], he doesn't hesitate to try having both of them killed.]] |
| 318 | * EvilGloating: [[spoiler:Indulges in this while betraying Blythe after she takes out Kasidora and the Imperium Senate, rubbing it in Blythe's face how easily he manipulated her and gloating about his entire scheme to become Emperor of the Imperium before siccing [[TheDogBitesBack HARR-E]] and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Blythe's own brainwashed Requital soldiers]] on her.]] |
| 319 | * FalseFriend: In private, Kasidora admits that she sees Erark as her OnlyFriend. Erark is secretly the MysteriousBacker for two separate resistance groups aiming to overthrow Kasidora and the Imperium. |
| 320 | * ImmuneToMindControl: Lanncunians are the only one known species to be immune to the senu's mind control powers. [[spoiler:Which is why only his compatriots are ever chosen as Executors of the Veil.]] |
| 321 | * TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:It's all but outright stated that Erark was the one behind the creation of the Fuccbotts, having originally commissioned Yahgot to create an army of robots as part of an earlier scheme to overthrow the Imperium. When the Fuccbotts went feral and TurnedAgainstTheirMasters, he deemed the project a failure and [[BadBoss abandoned Yahgot to die]], ignoring his desperate pleas for rescue.]] |
| 322 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:The July 2023 update confirms that he pretended to be a lazy, sex-obsessed hedonist to the public so that no one would question his absence at the Imperium Senate meeting held by Kasidora to impeach Celestina shortly before the planet the Senate was meeting on is sealed off from the rest of the galaxy by Blythe's superweapon, effectively allowing Erark to assume control as the only remaining senator left. Erark's own reputation as a hedonist who regularly indulges in orgies and drugs means that he is practically BeneathNotice as no one questions his cover story of being absent at the Senate meeting because he overslept and was hungover from a drug-fueled orgy at his mansion the previous night.]] |
| 323 | * PlayingBothSides: With TheReveal that [[spoiler:he is the Executor of the Veil (effectively the Darth Vader of the Imperium), the secret lover of Empress Celestina, ''and'' is conspiring with Kasidora to ''overthrow'' Celestina (not to mention that he is the Requital's mysterious "benefactor")]], it is clear that he plays ''everyone''. |
| 324 | * PragmaticVillainy: Subverted. [[spoiler:He claims to Blythe that the reason he is betraying her after [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she's outlived her usefulness to him]] is because she is too AxCrazy and [[RevengeBeforeReason obsessed with revenge]] to the point of being a liability to him and his goals. However, when Blythe calls B.S. on his reasonings and accuses him of having planned to betray her from the very beginning, Erark doesn't deny it and simply indulges in more EvilGloating.]] |
| 325 | * PrecisionFStrike: His reaction in Act 4 when he sees the ''Mary Celeste'' attack the ''Turbulence'', [[spoiler:interfering with his EngineeredHeroics and ruining his plan to hit the kloi and teelee homeworlds with the Bukkake superweapon.]] |
| 326 | -->'''Erark:''' What... the F*CK... is going on here? |
| 327 | * ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:After the ''Mary Celeste'' crew save Blythe and foil Erark's plan to fire on the kloi and teelee homeworlds with the BUKAKKE superweapon, he asks Celestina if he can stay with her at the Imperium royal palace because he fears that the ''Mary Celeste'' crew are going to try to kill him. He's 100% right as that's exactly what everyone on the ''Mary Celeste'' agrees to do once they learn about how he manipulated and betrayed them.]] |
| 328 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to General Blythe in Act 4 where he outlines how her all-consuming obsession with revenge is a FatalFlaw that makes her extremely predictable and easy to manipulate as well as incapable of [[KnowWhenToFoldEm knowing when to just let things go]]. |
| 329 | * VillainHasAPoint: |
| 330 | ** [[spoiler:After Blythe uses her superweapon to seal off the Imperium's capital world from the rest of the galaxy, one of the planets which Erark also plans to use the superweapon on is the kloi homeworld. While this is primarily because Erark sees them as potential rivals who could threaten his plans to rule the galaxy now that the Imperium has been left mostly leaderless, he's not exactly wrong to want to seal off the kloi homeworld seeing as how the kloi are genocidal space racists who would eradicate any race which they deemed ugly (more than ''70%'' of all species in the galaxy if Ela is to be believed) if given the chance.]] |
| 331 | ** [[spoiler:Also in the Blythe update, Erark makes the ''Mary Celeste'' crew TheMostWanted in the entire galaxy after publicly exposing their involvement in Lord Azzorion's death. While Erark himself actually indirectly caused Azzorion's death by giving him the location of Project Tremor Fury, it was indeed the ''Mary Celeste'' crew that ultimately pulled the trigger on Azzorion. Killi and Taron even lampshade that Erark wasn't exactly wrong when he told the public that they were homicidal outlaws responsible for killing a member of the Coven of Nine.]] |
| 332 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Undergoes one in Act 4 when the ''Mary Celeste'' arrives to save Blythe and destroy the BUKAKKE cannon, completely ruining his EngineeredHeroics scheme. While he does recover from this afterwards, it's the first time in the game that he has been caught completely by surprise and he reacts by losing his composure in front of Celestina and Maeyomodo, disturbing the former and arousing the suspicions of the latter as to Erark's true nature.]] |

| 344 | ---- |
| 345 | * CatchPhrase: "Oh my!" |
| 346 | * TheIngenue: Young, idealistic, and (relatively) pure of mind, to the point that her idea of quality time with her lover boils down to "huggling and talking about our feelings". |
| 347 | * OpposedMentors: Celestina is caught between two very different influences: the former Empress Kasidora, who teaches her to rule with an iron fist and to deny her base urges, and [[spoiler:her lover Senator Erark]], who teaches her to consider her subjects' needs and wishes and if not to embrace, then at least not to shun her own. |
| 348 | * Really700YearsOld: The Senu live in the thousands of years (though they are not immortal), so even though she is young by their standards, she is actually thousands of years old. |
| 349 | * UltimateLifeForm: Even among the senu, her PsychicPowers are insane, demonstrated when she casually mind-controls Lord Azzorion -- a fellow Senu -- just to get him to leave the room, then innocently admits to have recently discovered how to cause thermonuclear explosions with her mind. Kasidora's dialogue strongly implies that her power was not an accident, but the result of many millenia of work by other Senu. |
| 350 | * WideEyedIdealist: Due to her youth (her age is the Senu equivalent of 18 human years), she is naive and idealistic, particularly in sharp contrast to her immediate predecessor -- which actually gives a lot of her subjects hope. |

| 356 | [[quoteright:813:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasidora_profile.png]] |
| 357 | ->Species: Senu\ |
| 358 | Height: 6'0" (182 cm)\ |
| 359 | Voiced by: Sue\ |
| 360 | |
| 361 | The previous ruler of the Imperium who abdicated in the face of the unrest caused by her draconian tactics in upholding the Veil, including the genocide on Vanerra and the Battle of Nü Vegas. |
| 362 | ---- |
| 363 | * AbdicateTheThrone: At the start of the game, Kasidora has stepped down from her throne and handed rulership over the Imperium to her protégé Celestina. |
| 364 | * BigBadWannabe: She's the previous Empress and her iron-fisted rule is directly responsible for a lot of the Prodigium Galaxy's problems. She also starts scheming to [[spoiler:overthrow Celestina]] once it becomes clear that she can no longer influence the latter, [[spoiler:who is becoming increasingly disillusioned both with the Veil and Kasidora's draconian methods.]] However, she ends up being played like a fiddle by [[spoiler:Erark, who tricks her into gathering the entire Imperium Senate into one location so that Blythe can take them all out with a non-lethal DecapitationStrike with her SuperweaponSurprise. Once that's done, Kasidora and her entire powerbase are effectively trapped on the Imperium's capital world, which is sealed off from the rest of the galaxy by Blythe's Bukkake superweapon as part of Erark's plan to pull some EngineeredHeroics so that he can woo Celestina into marrying him and become the Imperium's Emperor.]] |
| 365 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Even though she's ultimately not the game's BigBad, Kasidora is still the key cause for a lot of the Prodigium Galaxy's past tragedies, which directly impact the game's events and play a key role in the backstories of several major characters. These include the vanneran genocide, the Great AI Purge, and the Battle of Nü Vegas. |
| 366 | * InSeriesNickname: Is called "Kas" in private by Erark. |
| 367 | * ObviouslyEvil: She is a former evil empress who has [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow eyes]], wears [[GoodColorsEvilColors dark crimson]] clothes, speaks with a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]], and her dark red skin makes her resemble a [[BigRedDevil stereotypical demoness]]. |
| 368 | * SexIsEvil: This, and more generally "anything fun is evil", is Kasidora's life philosophy (also known as "the Veil"). |
| 369 | * ThisCannotBe: Her reaction when she and Celestina learn of [[spoiler:Lord Azzurion's death]] from Erark. |
| 370 | * TimeAbyss: She has lived and ruled for thousands of years, and implies that the actual reason she abdicated was because she is nearing the end of her life. |
| 371 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Kasidora is after two things: Prodigium-wide peace and the survival of the Senu species. And she won't stop at anything to achieve them. |
| 372 | * TheWomanBehindTheMan: She may have abdicated, but still wields considerable influence over Celestina, intending to rule vicariously through her. [[spoiler:It is yet unclear whether she is aware of Erark's competition.]] |

| 377 | |
| 378 | !!Lord Azzorion |
| 379 | ->Species: Senu\ |
| 380 | |
| 381 | A member of the Coven of Nine and the muscle of the previous and of the current Empress. |
| 382 | ---- |
| 383 | * LoadBearingBoss: [[spoiler:Upon his defeat, his body explodes in a massive blast, blowing the entire Temple of Defilement to smithereens.]] |
| 384 | * OutGambitted: [[spoiler:He tries digging up dirt on Erark and, upon suceeding, blackmails him into spilling the beans about some secret weapons research projects he ran for Kasidora. Erark retaliates immediately by sending him to the Temple of Defilement, whose R&D program is largely over, anyway, while simultaneously leaking the location of the Temple to Fortune, which ultimately leads to Azzorion's death at Taron's hands.]] |
| 385 | * SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: Among the Senu, Azzorion has particular trouble with maintaining abstinence, despite his belief in the Veil. One of the first things we see him do is to attempt to MindControl the Teleee Senator Popolonius into having sex with him. |
| 386 | * ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:This are his last words. To be fair, no senu has ever been killed by a member of a lesser species (let alone a ''nikith'') in the entire history of the Imperium, so his surprise is entirely justified.]] |

| 392 | ->Species: Ord\ |
| 393 | |
| 394 | Admiral of the Imperium First Fleet. |
| 395 | ---- |
| 396 | * BigFriendlyDog: Being an Ord, he is humanoid in stature but with a distinctly canine (bulldog-like) head. He is both a loyal attack dog of the Empress, and a very decent individual -- in fact, it was him who showed mercy to the two {{Prison Ship}}s in which the first Solars arrived to Prodigium. [[spoiler: Fittingly, he also turns out to be an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter.]] |
| 397 | * HiddenDisdainReveal: In the July 2023 update, he admits to Erark during a private conversation that he never liked him due to suspecting that the senator had a hidden agenda and was hiding something from Celestina. [[spoiler:Seeing as how this is not long after Erark is revealed to have been an EvilAllAlong ManipulativeBastard to the player, this makes Maeyomodo an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter.]] |
| 398 | * NobleTopEnforcer: Questions Lady Kasidora's draconian methods, but carries them out, nevertheless (not the least due to her MindControl). |
| 399 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:As of Act 4, he's the only person in Celestina's life who is genuinely loyal to her and has her best interests at heart. Everyone else in the Imperium either doubts her, wants to overthrow her, or is trying to manipulate her.]] |
| 400 | * WorthyOpponent: Comes to see the Captain as such after recognizing him as a fellow veteran of Nü Vegas. [[spoiler:His respect only grows when he does a background check and learns that the Captain was the mysterious callsign "Madlad" who had shot down 50 of Maeyomodo's ships over Nü Vegas.]] Of course, for an OldSoldier like Maeyomodo, respecting an enemy means doing his best to eliminate him. |

| 404 | !!General Wiloof |
| 405 | ->Species: Solar |
| 406 | |
| 407 | A Solar Navy general aligned with the Imperium. He is a personal enemy of Blythe's, having [[spoiler:double-crossed her during the Battle of Nü Vegas.]] |
| 408 | ---- |
| 409 | * EvilBrit: He is a traitorous solar general who speaks with a posh British accent. |
| 410 | * MinorMajorCharacter: He is killed in his first appearance early in Act 1 when his fleet is obliterated by Blythe's flagship during a space battle. Despite this, he plays a huge role in Blythe's backstory, [[spoiler:having been the one who betrayed her and caused the solars to lose the Battle of Nü Vegas.]] |
| 411 | * TheQuisling: He collaborates with the Imperium and is basically their puppet ruler for the solar race. [[spoiler:During the Battle of Nü Vegas, he made a backroom deal with Kasidora and sold out his species.]] |
| 412 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He underestimated the capabilities of the Requital's flagship and assumed his fleet would be able to destroy the ''Turbulence'' in no time. His fleet fails to so much as leave a dent on the ''Turbulence'''s hull and gets wiped out in three shots. |
| 413 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He doesn't even last one cutscene before he gets killed off by Blythe. |

| 420 | |
| 421 | The warlord commanding the largest pirate fleet of the Dragon Nebula and the StarterVillain of the game. |
| 422 | ---- |
| 423 | * DirtyCoward: When the Captain leads [[spoiler:a swarm of Fuccbotts]] to the Dread Fleet, Tibold grabs the last piece of the map and flees, leaving his men to die. |
| 424 | * EmasculatedCuckold: The primary reason why Tibold hounds the Captain and his crew all throughout Act 1. The Cap seduced DEMI into abandoning his side and is desperately doing everything within his power [[EntitledToHaveYou to get her back]], all while enduring the humiliation that DEMI is being used by another man. |
| 425 | * LousyLoversAreLosers: According to DEMI, he's an awful lover, a fact she uses to taunt and humiliate him. |
| 426 | * TheNapoleon: Like all Teelee, Tibold is very short, but he is also particularly violent, sadistic, and ambitious. |
| 427 | * RecurringBoss: You fight Tibold three times before he is finally killed: twice in space and once on the ground. |
| 428 | * StarterVillain: Tibold is the main overarching antagonist of Act I. |
| 429 | * TheUsurper: Tibold has wrestled command of the Dread Fleet from Killi in the backstory, which she is still furious about. |

| 433 | !!General Elizabeth Blythe |
| 434 | [[quoteright:582:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blythe_profile.png]] |
| 435 | ->Species: Solar\ |
| 436 | Height: 5'10" (177 cm)\ |
| 437 | Voiced by: Gina Galore\ |
| 438 | |
| 439 | Leader of the Requital, a faction of the Solar fleet that went rogue after the Battle of Nü Vegas and refused to submit to the Imperium. [[spoiler:After the Requital turns on her, she survives with the Captain's help and joins his crew as the ninth and final (story) waifu.]] |
| 440 | ---- |
| 441 | * ArtificialLimbs: Mentions having lost her left arm during the Battle of Nü Vegas. She has since replaced it with a cybernetic prosthetic courtesy of Dr. Lily. |
| 442 | * BestialityIsDepraved: Downplayed. A particular sore spot for Blythe that resulted in her breaking up with Lily was how she didn't approve of the doctor [[BoldlyComing having sex with the Mantics]] while they were together. [[spoiler:But after joining the crew, Blythe will ''also'' [[NotSoAboveItAll agree to have sex with the Mantics]] just like the rest of the Captain's waifus, with her flavor text showing a [[HasAType preference for]] [[TheBrute hulking brutes]] like Fuckenstien.]] |
| 443 | * {{BFS}}: Her signature weapon is a greatsword almost as long and wide as herself. |
| 444 | * BigBadWannabe: She is introduced as one of the game's main antagonists with the goal of overthrowing the Imperium. [[spoiler:The July 2023 update reveals that she was just an UnwittingPawn of Senator Erark, who was using her to get rid of Kasidora and the Imperium Senate so that he could replace them. After this, he easily turns Blythe's own Requital soldiers against her, forcing her to throw in her lot with the ''Mary Celeste'' crew.]] |
| 445 | * BloodKnight: Absolutely vicious in combat, preferring to fight instead of talking every time. |
| 446 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: While not one herself, but she employs a cohort of geneticists ([[spoiler:of whom Dr. Lily was a part]]) to both create superweapons for her, and to eradicate what perceives as the inherent weaknesses of the Solar species. |
| 447 | * {{Expy}}: Her appearance is heavily based off of Guts from the ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' franchise. Like Guts, Blythe is a merciless warrior clad in black armor complete with a billowing cape who is CoveredInScars, has a prosthetic arm, and wields a {{BFS}} in combat. She even has Guts' skunk stripe and is largely motivated by revenge over a personal betrayal. |
| 448 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After rescuing her from Senator Erark's betrayal, getting a down-to-earth KirkSummation from Dallick, and [[BingeMontage taking a hit off of some alien drugs to take the edge off]], Blythe agrees to [[EnemyMine join the crew of the Mary Celeste]] for the sake of getting revenge on their mutual enemy in Erak.]] |
| 449 | * IncestSubtext: [[spoiler:A major factor of her TeacherStudentRomance with the Captain revolves around how Blythe looked after him since he was a teenager, effectively making her the closest thing he ever had to a [[ParentalSubstitute mother]]. Even Lily ribs him over his UsefulNotes/OedipusComplex for Blythe after successfully recruiting her in the fourth act.]] |
| 450 | * MileLongShip: Blythe's flagship, ''SN/SS Turbulence'', is the largest dreadnought in the galaxy (the Imperium ships are much smaller, since their military doctrine focuses on unit agility and speed over size). Commissioned by the Solar Navy before the Battle of Nü Vegas and funded by its massive profits, the ship was captured by the Imperium, but Blythe managed to retrieve it by means unknown. [[spoiler:Chapter 4 elaborates that it was Senator Erark who basically gave her the ship and more on a silver platter as part of his grand scheme.]] |
| 451 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Blythe is apparently old enough that she [[spoiler:knew the Captain's DisappearedDad before the former was ''even born'']], which is why Lily snidley categorizes her as a "GILF" when the Captain jokes about her [[spoiler:supplanting the doctor's place as the [[TeamMom ship's ranking MILF]] after joining the crew.]] |
| 452 | * TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Her bio calls her "the undisputed greatest military mind (and body) that the Solar Military Academy ever managed to produce" -- and now she fights against both the Solars and the Imperium. |
| 453 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her blood-red eyes, combined with pale skin and half-healed facial scars, make her a fearful sight in battle. |
| 454 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Her combat armor is most black and red, in stark contrast to the white-and-gold uniforms of the loyalist Solar officers. |
| 455 | * {{Revenge}}: Seeks to destroy the Imperium in revenge for their actions at the Battle of Nü Vegas. |
| 456 | * RobotBuddy: Blythe is assisted by HARR-E, a sadistic floating droid thought to have been created in violation of the Great AI Purge. |
| 457 | * SensualSlavs: She's a [[StatuesqueStunner Statuesque]] DarkActionGirl with a large bust and HartmanHips who speaks with a thick Russian accent. |
| 458 | * TheUnfought: Unlike the Huntress, the Captain and his crew never directly combat Blythe herself [[spoiler:before her inevitable recruitment in Act 4]]. |
| 459 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: |
| 460 | ** Chapter 4 reveals that Blythe used to be one of Dr. Lily's ''[[ReallyGetsAround long]]'' [[ReallyGetsAround list of lovers]] before they had a falling out over the former's "unethical" ambitions to use Lily's Manticore Program as [[BioweaponBeast bioweapons of mass destruction]] against the Imperium. |
| 461 | ** [[spoiler:Blythe was also the Captain's commanding officer during the Battle of Nü Vegas, where she took on a role as both his SinkOrSwimMentor and ParentalSubstitute. But they went their seprate ways after the Captain refused to join her crusade in favor of living a life of SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll.]] |

| 469 | ->Species: Mawsus\ |
| 470 | Height: 5'3" (165 cm)\ |
| 471 | Voiced by: Aria Lynn\ |
| 472 | |
| 473 | The top-ranked BountyHunter of Prodigium, hired by Blythe to capture Dr. Lily. [[spoiler:After losing enough times to the Captain (and having to work with him to survive being stranded on a jungle DeathWorld), she swears a life debt to him and thus becomes the eighth waifu in the game.]] |
| 474 | ---- |
| 475 | * AggressiveSubmissive: The Huntress is extremely agressive and in-your-face about everything -- except sex. This is because [[spoiler:she is still a virgin, as mawsus only mate with others whom they consider their peers. Until the Captain came along, she has never met an equal, so she lacks any kind of sexual experience]]. |
| 476 | * AlienHair: The Mawsus seem to have a bunch of cephalopod tentacles on their heads instead of hair. |
| 477 | * BestHerToBedHer: The Codex suggests that if she follows her species' honor code, she'd have to swear a life debt to whomever manages to defeat her. [[spoiler:After much back and forth, this finally happens at the start of Act IV.]] |
| 478 | * BountyHunter: Has an unbroken record of over 70 successful collections and a 5-star rating on the [=BountyHelper=] app, making her the #1 ranking bounty hunter in Prodigium. Thogh befitting her name, she seems to mainly be after the thrill of the hunt itself, rather than the bounties, preferring to take on the hardest bounties for this reason. |
| 479 | * BubbleBoy: The Mawsus are an aquatic species only able to survive in very specific conditions, but the most adventurous ones, like the Huntress, venture out into the galaxy encased in [=HydroSuits=]. |
| 480 | * DoppelgangerAttack: In the final phase of her boss battle, she creates copies of her ship circling around and shooting at the [=F3N1X=]. |
| 481 | * {{Expy}}: A notorious and unfettered space-faring bounty hunter clad in feature-obscuring armor whose dubious origins are ShroudedInMyth? Even WordOfGod says that the Huntress was explicitly made as a female expy of Fett. |
| 482 | * TheFaceless: As a member of an aquatic species, the Huntress always wears a mask, even during sex. |
| 483 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Her second battle against the captain ends like this. After you beat her again fair and square, she just amps her CutscenePowerToTheMax and disables the [=F3N1X=] in the outro, anyway, before escaping [[spoiler:Maeyomodo's scrutiny entirely unharmed -- seemingly for no other reason that the plot requires that the revolutionaries get stuck on Teatakanya for a while to resolve Sova's TournamentArc]]. |
| 484 | * OffendedByAnInferiorsSuccess: The Huntress despises the fact that the Captain keeps beating her in spaceborne dogfights because she is the top-ranked BountyHunter in the galaxy, while his official ranking is pretty much near the rock bottom. |
| 485 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She only stands at 5'3" but has earned her reputation as the deadliest assassin in space. |
| 486 | * RecurringBoss: The Captain battles her in space three times, and Fortune has to fight her off on the ground immediately upon setting foot on the ''Mary Celeste''. |
| 487 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Type V. The mawsus species has no concept of a group for the most part, as every mawsus is forced to immediately fight others for survival the moment they hatch, but they apparently have a code of honor where weaker mawsus become subservient to a stronger mawsus- or any other creature- that proves to be their better in combat, and they only mate with perceived equals in that same regard. [[spoiler:As a result, the Huntress has trouble adjusting to being a part of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits on the ''Mary Celeste'' after having gone for so long as an independent bounty hunter once the Captain and crew manage to best her many times over.]] |
| 488 | * SwordAndGun: The Huntress wields a futuristic cutlass in her left hand and a HandCannon in her right. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Accordingly]], she is the only waifu so far whose basic attack move can target enemies both in melee and at range, with her using the corresponding weapon to attack (the sword deals more damage, but the gun applies Bleed). |
| 489 | * {{Tsundere}}: Of the Tsun/Harsh type, definitely, as she is usually abrasive and angry in most situations, except when [[spoiler:the Captain compliments her, bringing out the deredere side. And just to drive the point home, giving her her favorite gift (a Rare Sidearm) promts this reaction:]] |
| 490 | -->''S-shut up! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm not blushing under here or anything!]]'' |
| 491 | * WithholdingTheirName: When she thinks she's dying, she reveals (confirms, really) to the Captain that "the Huntress" is not really her name, but passes out before she can say any more. What it actually is may be revealed in her upcoming Devotion Quest, though. |
| 492 | * WorldsBestWarrior: Of her homeworld anyway as she claims she became the apex predator of her planet at the age of 7. |

| 500 | The commander of the kloi homeworld's planetary defenses, whose incompetence lets Elaisha escape and who then "goes rogue" to hunt her down. |
| 501 | ---- |
| 502 | * RogueSoldier: Since the kloi are prohibited from leaving their homeworld, their Supreme Council orders Landervoo to find and kill Elaisha but officially informs the Imperium that he has gone rogue. |
| 503 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Landervoo's only real achievement in life is winning "Mr. Talissan" beauty contest for three years in a row. This is enough to earn him the rank of General and be promoted to command the Talissan Planetary Defense Force, but he is so obviously incompetent at this job, the Supreme Council didn't even call for a vote before stripping him of his office. None of this stops Landervoo from acting like he is the hottest shit in the universe, however (which is also a very kloi thing). |

| 513 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:When he first created the Fuccbotts to overthrow the Imperium, he forgot to implement a way to actually control them before he activated them. With no control mechanism, the Fuccbotts immediately TurnedAgainstTheirMasters and nearly killed their creator before attempting to escape into the rest of the galaxy.]] |
| 514 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: [[spoiler:By the time that the Captain and the Huntress find him, it's obvious that being stranded alone on a DeathWorld with only Fuccbotts for company has turned Yahgot into a TalkativeLoon.]] |
| 515 | * {{Revenge}}: His primary motivation. First, he wanted revenge against the Imperium for implementing the Great AI Purge and causing his company to go bankrupt overnight. [[spoiler:After Erark betrayed him and left him for dead on Planet Fuccbott, Yahgot also wants to even the score with his former master.]] |
| 516 | * RobotMaster: [[spoiler:He's the one who originally created the Fuccbotts and is able to control most of them.]] |
