38* BaldOfEvil: Frostbite, who's mentioned as an AxCrazy person whose aura can freeze even the [[HotBlooded hottest]] of characters.

45%% (ZCE) * FieryRedhead: Rylisa/Diva and Ambrosia.
46* MightyGlacier: In ''Championship'', they have the highest amount of starting health (190) and the strongest defense attributes. In exchange, they have the lowest speed attributes. This remains true with ''2004''[='=]s "Species Statistics" mutator.

66
67It is unknown if the Juggernauts team made it to the finals of the next year's tournament, (''Unreal Tournament 2004'') where Axon also sponsored another team of Juggernauts called Goliath.
68
69Gorge would have became a Tournament star, and have everything to his favour, but his rough treat of his fanbase damaged his reputation, and Malcolm's fans still outnumber his.
70[[hardline]]
71!! Tropes related to him:
72* ADayInTheLimelight: Has his own ladder in ''Unreal Championship 2''.
73* AscendedExtra: In ''Unreal Tournament 2003'' he was just another skin/model to choose for your PlayerCharacter. Cue ''Unreal Tournament 2004'', and he was the one who dethroned Malcolm. He made the cut for ''Unreal Championship 2'' but he doesn't have any involvement in the game, aside of being the protagonist of some of the challenges.
74* AxCrazy: He's said to be "a predator with a sweet tooth for suffering".
75* {{BFG}}: In ''Championship'', he favors the Rocket Launcher, starting with it and having 20% more ammo capacity for the weapon.

78* CondemnedContestant: An inmate from the Allerian Penal Colony fighting for his life in the Tournaments.
79* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In the ''2004'' opening cutscene of the SP, Gorge can [[RammingAlwaysWorks ram]] opponents to knock them down before filling them full of lead (ramming is not a move in the game).
80* CuttingOffTheBranches: ''2004'' and ''Unreal championship 2'' state that the canonical winner of ''2003''[='=]s Tournament is Gorge, who broke Malcolm's streak and his spine in the process.
81* DelinquentHair: His subtle mohawk.
82* EasterEgg: In his ''2003''/''2004'' portrait, he has something similar to a [=MP3=] player.
83* FinalBoss: Of Malcolm's ladder in ''Championship 2''. He's also one of the two bosses in the three-way matches at the end of both Anubis's and Brock's.
84* GroundPound: His "Smash" adrenaline combo in ''Unreal Championship 2'' causes one.
85* HealThyself: His "Heal" adrenaline combo in ''Unreal Championship 2'' heals up to 50% of his health.
86* MegatonPunch: His starting melee attack in ''Unreal Championship 2'' is just a geneboosted punch.
87--> ''"No fancy technology involved here. Juggernauts use their gene-boosted strength and horrifying rage to attack with armored fists. Don’t laugh; [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry you'll just make them mad]]."''
88* TheRival: Malcolm, after ''Unreal Tournament 2003''. It begins with him breaking his streak and his spine, and goes downward from there.

90* StatusBuff: His "Berserk" adrenaline combo in ''Unreal Championship 2'', combined with XRayVision.
91* UnknownRival: In his ''[=UC2=]'' ladder, Jackhammer is seen as a thorn in his side, being fought ''thrice'' before he moves on to "more important things".

95
96A geneboosted human who's playing in the Tournament in the same team as Gorge, Axon's Juggernauts.
97
98He comes back for ''Unreal Championship 2'', but otherwise, he doesn't have much of an involvement. Unlike his teammates, he's not a convict. He hates violence, and it's in the Arena just to show his new genetic makeup. Being in the Tournaments ''doesn't'' make him happy. Which doesn't mean that he can't kick as much ass as his teammates.
99[[hardline]]
100!! Tropes related to him:
101* ADayInTheLimelight: He has an own ladder in ''Unreal Championship 2''.

106* MartialPacifist: He hates violence, but he can kick ass as much as amy of his companions.
107* MegatonPunch: His starting melee attack in ''Unreal Championship 2'', much like Gorge and Jackhammer, is a regular punch.
108* TheRival: Sapphire in ''[=UC2=]''. Both of their ladders make a deal out of this.
109* StatusBuff: His "Berserk" adrenaline combo in ''Unreal Championship 2'', combined with XRayVision.
110* WeaponSpecialization:
111** In ''Championship'', he favors the Bio Rifle, starting with it and dealing 20% more damage with it than other characters.

280** Booster in ''Championship'' is called Fate in ''2003'' and ''2004''.
281** Fate in ''Championship'' is called Lilith in ''2003'' and ''2004''.
282* AscendedMeme: Players really, really liked the ''2003'' announcer rolling his M every time Mr. Crow was selected, as the announcer would bark out each character's name as they were selected. ('''MMMMMMMMMMMMMISTER CROW!''') Come ''2004'', and Mr. Crow's the only character left who's announced when selected.
283* AxCrazy:
284** Mr. Crow is said to be "a raving lunatic with a taste for the bizarre".
285** Ravage's description mentions him to be the reason why the Tournament disallowed unarmed combat.

287%% (ZCE) * DarkActionGirl: All the females.
288%% (ZCE) * EyesAlwaysShut: Domina.
289* FateWorseThanDeath: A leftover from ''Championship'' that survived to ''2004'':
290--> (Lilith's description) ''"Having lost her legs during an attack on an Imperial medical supply transport, Lilith was captured and sentenced to deletion of personality at the Purgatory penal facility. With her mind and body rebuilt from the ground up she now serves as a bounty hunter for the Empire."''
291* GoneHorriblyRight:
292** Brutalis is mentioned to be part of an experiment to "hybridize human and Taratic prisoners into a highly intelligent killing machine" that was shut down for being "more successful than anyone could have imagined".
293** Abaddon is the result of extensive genetic manipulation experiments that turned him into a highly efficient killer. As a counterbalance, the constant pain he feels in his body shortens his lifespan.
294* JackOfAllStats: In ''Championship'' and with the "Species Statistics" mutator in ''2004'', they're located below the Humans, having penalties on damage dealing.
295* {{Lobotomy}}: Booster/Fate was sentenced to deletion of personality and became a bounty hunter.
296* MonsterClown: Mr. Crow and Harlequin are clown zombie-like combatants who belong to the "Nightmare" category. Harlequin even looks the part of a clow by way of its face paint.
297--> (Harlequin's description) ''"Ever wonder why children are afraid of clowns? Now you know."''
298* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: These guys are revived corpses, insane psychopaths, and goths who've been blown apart and remade into [[Creator/HRGiger Giger]]-esque psychopathic zombie goths.

332* GreenEyedMonster: Mokara feels her brother Damarus to be unworthy of the scepter of Mobeth.
333* HiddenDepths:
334** Damarus is described as a hedonist who enjoys many physical pleasures. This being ''Unreal Tournament'', he's also a fierce combatant with a penchant for using the Bio Rifle.
335** On the other extreme, Selig's reserved nature leads him to explore and document the interesting things he finds.
336%% (ZCE) * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Stated in the game to be this.
337* WeaponSpecialization:
338** Damarus favors the Bio Rifle. In ''Championship'', his Bio Rifle fires 20% faster.

355[[hardline]]
356!! In general
357* AxCrazy:
358** Outlaw was recruited after a galaxy crime spree in which he murdered nearly 300 civilians.
359** Kane is stated to be the Unrealverse equivalent to [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Zappa]]: a psychotic fighter with multiple personalities that change his fighting style on the fly.
360%% (ZCE) * BaldOfEvil: The males.
361* BewareTheQuietOnes: Baird's description outright quotes the trope. Out of the arena is quite reserved. In the arena is a loud, raging MotorMouth that decimates his opponents.
362* TheCasanova: Garrett is mentioned to be "a real ladies man".
363* CharacterTiers: [[invoked]] Hellions is located in the "Strong" tier.
364* DelinquentHair:
365** Zarina and Kaela are almost bald, except for triangular bits of colorful hair.
366** Rae and Greith are also almost bald except for three colorful ponytails, two at the sides at one at the top.
367** Outlaw sports an orange-ish mohawk.
368** Kane and Baird have... something done with their hair.
369%% (ZCE) * FieryRedhead: Rae, Kane and Outlaw.
370* HiddenDepths: Baird is a case of BewareTheQuietOnes, as (according to his bio) he's usually reserved and quiet until he enters an arena, where he turns into a "raging motor mouth until he's decimated every single opponent".
371* TheLadette:
372** Zarina is a "regular party machine" who fights while intoxicated, believing the deed to give her an edge.
373** Kaela can kill you with [[SirSwearsALot her foul language]] or her weapon.
374%% (ZCE) * SpacePirates
375* {{Stripperiffic}}: Kaela and Rae have very revealing outfits.

391[[hardline]]
392!! In general
393* AscendedExtra Guardian and Dominator were just selectable skins in the first Tournament game, and to add insult to injury, they weren't even shipped, but instead came with one of the free {{expansion pack}}s. Dominator's case goes even further, as he (as a pure Skaarj, not as a Skaarj Hybrid) was an unplayable boss character in the console versions, with his features being kept almost unchanged.
394* TheAtoner: A villainous version, all of the members fight for the honor of their race after [[NoodleIncident the events of the Human/Skaarj wars]] disgraced it.
395* AxCrazy: Skakruk eats the marrow of his enemies, and credits the deed for his power.
396* BossTease: The opening cutscene of the single-player ladder features Dominator stabbing Romulus. You have a chance of facing Iron Skull at the end of each of the team ladders, and if they're the best ranked Godlike team, you face them in the finals.
397* CharacterTiers: [[invoked]] Iron Skull Skaarj is located in the Godlike tier. If they're the best placed team, they're fought in the Finals.
398* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Dominator can stab an opponent with his WolverineClaws. Said claws are unusable in the game proper.
399* GlassCannon: With the "Species Statistics" mutator in ''2004'', they have bonuses on air control and jump height (making them second to the Anubans on the issue), at the expense of taking more damage.
400* PromotedToPlayable: Dominator was one of the four bosses on the Platform/Playstation2[=/=]Platform/SegaDreamcast versions of the first ''Tournament'' game. In ''2004'', he can be selected right from the start.
401* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Stated in-game to be this, spanning as far as ''VideoGame/UnrealI''.
402* RedBaron: Gkublok was nicknamed "Walking Death" during his time on [[VideoGame/UnrealI Na Pali]].
403* WeaponSpecialization:
404** As a bot, Skakruk favors the Flak Cannon.
405** As bots, Dominator and Guardian favor the Rocket Launcher.

407!! Skaarj [=ClanLord=]
408[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Clanlord_9791.jpg]]
409
410The leader of the main Skaarj clan, Iron Skull, sent by the Skaarj Empire, in order to purge their guilt for allowing the destruction of the Skaarj Mothership in the Seven-Years War. He's one of the finalists the player may found in the 2303 tournament. (''Unreal Tournament 2004'')
411
412The status of both him and the Iron Skull clan are, as of now, unknown.
413[[hardline]]
414!! Tropes related to him:
415* AttackAttackAttack: He's totally focused on killing you, no matter the match. Smart players can use this to their advantage.
416* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: It's right in the name.
417* FinalBoss: Should Iron Skull get the best score of the Godlike teams in the Ladder, you'll face first his team, and then him.
418%% (ZCE) * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: He's a Skaarj after all.
419* SecretCharacter: By way of DefeatMeansPlayable. Iron Skull Skaarj must be the best ranked of the Godlike teams in order to face him in the finals.

429[[hardline]]
430!! In general
431* AscendedExtra:
432** Karag was one of the default practice session bots before becoming playable in ''2004''.
433** The Mecha Skaarj race as a whole were just baddies in ''VideoGame/UnrealIITheAwakening''. Two of them are playable characters in ''2004''.
434* ContinuityNod: Karag is stated to come from [[VideoGame/UnrealIITheAwakening the Terran Colonial Authority]].
435* DemotedToExtra: Thannis becomes a bot in ''III''.
436* RedEyesTakeWarning: Skrilax has red eyes.
437* SilverFox: Thannis is 93 years old, and the ''ECE'' Necris look less menacing than their ''Tournament'' (or ''[=UT3=]'') counterparts.
438* WeaponSpecialization:
439** As a bot, Skrilax favors the Shock Rifle.
440** As a bot, Thannis favors the Link Gun.
441** As a bot, Mekkor favors the Rocket Launcher.
442* WolverineClaws: Mekkor and Skrilax have them, but they don't use them for melee combat as they're ineffective compared to a Shield Gun or ranged weapon.
