History Characters / AnarchyReigns

* {{Sadist}} She's enjoys the pain and misery of others, [[{Dominatrix}} including Baron's]].

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Not normally. The ax craziness comes from his split personality.]]

* BadassLongcoat: [[SleevesAreForWimps A sleeveless version.]]

* {{Cyborg}}

* GoodScarsEvilScars
* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:His actions drive the plot, but not part of any plan.]]

* PermaStubble [[BeardOfSorrow Of Sorrow]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RedemptionEqualsLife

* ShellshockedVeteran

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Max is really messed up.

* DropTheHammer: Big Bull's beloved Jet Hammer.

* GutturalGrowler: As with the previous game, he speaks like he gargles sand and glass every morning, thanks to Creator/SteveBlum voicing him.

* GutturalGrowler: An odd example, given how his voice is almost always a normal tenor. But when raising his voice, he sounds gravelly without lowering in pitch, which makes him sound more aggressive or even feral at times.

* DiagonalCut: He [[FinishingMove finishes]] [[GiantMook Giant Mooks]] by karate chopping them in half. It's a [[JustforPun perfect Pork Chop]].

* BattleCouple: With Mathilda during the story mode; the two are more or less inseparable.
%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Questioning the Baron's manhood. Amala [[GuileHero uses it to her advantage, though.]]

* ButtMonkey: ''Nobody'' takes him seriously.

* DanceBattler: Works in break dancing and Michael Jackson dance moves in a few of his throws and specials.

* JackOfAllStats

* MythicalMotifs: Is referred to as "The Phoenix" by the game, and his gloves can be viewed as either phoenixes or fiery eagles.
** FridgeBrilliance for those who played ''VideoGame/MadWorld'', where he "died" multiple times, but came back to life every time.

* PimpDuds: A wide brimmed feather cap, long flowing cloak, fur trim, and large loud sunglasses to complete the look.

* SequelReset: Confirmed in a developer blog to be the same guy. How he keeps living is still not known.
** That said, he was killed well nigh a dozen times over in Madworld, coming back no worse for wear each time due to the RuleOfFun.

* TokenMinority: [[LampshadeHanging And he knows it.]]

* BattleCouple: With Blacker Baron.

* CoolShades: Mathilda hides her purple eyes behind black sunglasses.

* {{Dominatrix}}: The way she digs her heel into things, and overall ruthless personality invoke this. The spikes do nothing to detract from it, either.

* GroinAttack: One of her combos ends with her kicking her target right in the nethers. There's a animation for every character reacting to this. Even the people who technically don't have bits to kick like Big Bull and Douglas Williamsburg.
* TheHyena: Next to everything out of her mouth is a laugh.
* MaleGaze: The camera really seems to like Mathilda's backside, and who can blame it?

* SuddenlyVoiced: While she does have a voice actor, Mathilda very rarely speaks. She instead tends to giggle a lot. When she does talk... she's actually quite girly sounding.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe:[[spoiler: Courtesy of a finishing blow from Jack. And from the way the characters are talking about him afterwards, he's apparently ''still alive''.]]

* KilledOffForReal:[[spoiler: He and Durga die together in the third story mission from White Side.]]

* FallenHero:[[spoiler: He was disgraced after a botched rescue attempt led to the death of the six-year-old Stela, eventually turning towards drinking and drugs.]]

* ICannotSelfTerminate:[[spoiler: If the player plays through White Side first, when Leo fights Max in Stage 4, Max is rapidly alternating between begging Leo to kill him, and trying to kill Leo himself.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Lampshaded with Jack calling him a pretty boy.

%%* CarpetOfVirility

* {{Cyborg}}: Thanks to his right arm and cybernetic eyes.
%%* {{Deuteragonist}}: With Leo.
%%* GutturalGrowler: As may be obvious.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: In the original ''Videogame/MadWorld'', the double-chainsaw (before being officially named Gator Tooth) was a special arm gained in a NewGamePlus.
* JackOfAllStats: No pun intended.

* PowerFist: When not used as a chainsaw.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Returning from ''Videogame/MadWorld'' and, *gasp* in '''color!'''
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Before and after the fight with [[spoiler:Max in his Black Side mission.]]

%%* {{Cyborg}}

%%* JackOfAllStats

* ToughSpikesAndStuds: Not only does she fight with a spiked club, but her jacket, boots and even her ''[[UpToEleven breasts]]'' have spikes on them.

* GroinAttack: One of her combos ends with her kicking her target right in the nethers. There's a animation for every character reacting to this. Even the people who technically don't have bits to kick (looking at you, Bull and Douglas).
* TheHyena: A few exceptions, but next to everything out of her mouth is a laugh.

([[CaptainErsatz Totally not inspired by]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Raiden.]] No sir. No way. Becomes ironic thanks to VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance, though...) And not to be confused for that [[Videogame/{{Borderlands 2}} other Zer0]]...

* CaptainErsatz: What if [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bane]] transformed into Killer Croc and was fat?

* {{Expy}}: On that note, outside of an entirely different AnimalMotif and the whole "Juice" thing, he has a ''lot'' in common with Yee Fung from ''Videogame/MadWorld'', from his rotundity to his agile fighting style to his comically high voice.

* PeekABangs: When his visor is up, Zero's black hair is shown to partly cover his eyes.

* ShockAndAwe: Adds more sadistic fun with electrocution when Mathilda is leveled up.

* AnIcePerson: Her spear can also freeze people.

* FragileSpeedster: She's fast, but can''t take a lot of damage.

* ItsAllAboutMe: She's vain, self-centered, and selfish, and doesn't care for anyone other than her sisters. Her {{Leitmotif}} is even called "It's All About Me".

* CombatHandFans: Rin Rin fights with a pair of fiery fans called Yanlong.
