Apologetic Attacker: Until she kills enough enemies, she apologies after each kill.
Artistic Age: She's supposed to be 20, but looks more like a teenager in the cutscenes.
Badass: In the backstory a single 'Annihilator' mini-boss went berserk on a Tasen warship and killed nearly everyone, Tasen and Kamoto alike. Iji however can simply ignore them, or at the top of her combat prowess destroy them in a matter of seconds.
The Berserker: Iji can easily become this if she kills enough enemies.
Beware the Nice Ones: Despite starting out reluctant to kill clearly hostile aliens she can end up with a body count in the hundreds.
Big Sister Instinct: She ends up protective of Dan. Asha, for endangering him is the only person she never shows even a shred of regret for killing him and this reaction is completely unchanged by her kill count.
Small Girl, Big Gun: For humans, Iji's quite tall at 6'3". However, since her gun was designed for Tasen, who are 7 feet tall at the shortest (and the Elites who would get to use her gun are closer to 9'), the gun is ridiculously oversized for her.
Technical Pacifist: This is generally what you'll be if you're on a pacifist run.
To clarify: There are plenty of ways to kill enemies without getting them on your counter, including arranging friendly fire accidents (e.g. blocking missiles with your face while standing next to an enemy, so that you'll survive the explosion but he won't), letting another enemy do the dirty work, setting a mine, and (in 1.6) reflecting their shots back at them. Also, machine enemies don't count, nor do Assassins (who aren't killed, but driven away).
Theme Naming: All the Kataisers have three-letter first names.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: On a killer run, she intends to drive the invading aliens back off the Earth before they can destroy what little is left...by blowing everyone in her way straight to hell.
Alas, Poor Scrappy: He's a manipulative bossy jerk and some of his early dialogue veers almost into Kick the Dog territory, but anyone who didn't cry at his potential death is a lying bastard.
Author Avatar: He shares a name with the game's creator, although it's not certain if he was entirely based on him.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: When using the Scrambler, Dan will take several opportunities to do this, including humming the boss theme song and saying that he got the best Scrambler quotes.
Stop Poking Me: If she's on your side by Sector 7, she'll make some comments on the backstory if you attempt to crack her.
The Dog Bites Back: If you get her on your side, she'll come in and kill Krotera right when he's trash-talking her.
Yukabacera
Almighty Janitor: He uses the same sprite as a regular Tasen mook, but he's certainly the strongest Tasen in the game.
And stronger then any non-boss Komato, too.
He's only weaker than Annihilators when it comes to strictly non-Boss enemies, having 50hp to their 80hp, though Annihilators are all Mini-Boss types. Compared to all bosses, he has double the HP of Krotera, and about five times the HP of Asha. Proxima has four times his HP and Iosa eight... Tor about twenty times or so, depending on difficulty and whether or not you fully power up his suit before the fight.
Last Of Their Kind: Along with Vateilika, the diary writer and her girlfriend are the only Tasen to survive the game, assuming you've made the truce.
As of version 1.6, if you make the truce and go pacifist till the end of Sector 9, the Tasen open their final outpost and you get to fight Iosa before she can barge in and raze said outpost. So, in this case, about a dozen Tasen survive, and it seems their race might still have a chance.
No Name Given: Neither the diary writer nor her girlfriend have names. "PAIE" is just a callsign (now confirmed by Word Of God: here).
Straight Gay: Many players thought she was supposed to be a guy from reading her diaries, since it's all just text logs with no voice for comparison.
Fragile Speedster: He is the quickest teleporter among the assassins, capable of dodging any attack, but he's not that much more durable.
Gender Blender Name: "Asha" is a girl's name in most parts of the world, and he's one of the most manly characters in the game. The creator didn't know that it was a real name when he came up with it.
Law of Chromatic Superiority: Like Krotera, he's based on an ordinary enemy found later in the game, but differs slightly. In this case, he wears purple instead of black, and apparently isn't wearing a shirt.
Took a Level in Badass: The second fight with him, and he was already pretty badass to begin with.
Villainous Breakdown: Activate a single checkpoint before going into the second fight with Asha. Die to him. Activate a second checkpoint. Die to him again. Then challenge him one last time. His reaction is PRICELESS.
For those of you who don't want to go through sector X in a very specific and difficult way just to get this reaction, he says that he is going to "rip you apart and throw the pieces into a black hole. TEN TIMES".
Villains Never Lie: Averted, Dan's not a traitor. It's just a trap. Iji sees through this anyway.
Your Head Asplode: Inverted; his head is the only part of him that doesn't explode messily when he dies.
Zero-Effort Boss: His first encounter is...underwhelming if you have a Nuke.
Iosa Sakera
Anticlimax Boss: Invinciblity or otherwise, the second phase of the battle goes by quite quickly. And the first phase is just easy; she insists on patrolling back and forth below platforms conveniently located for you to jump out of reach of her guns.
Boom, Headshot: How she dies, assuming Ansaksie isn't with you.
Complete Monster: We're talking about someone who kills all the last survivors of an entire species without any remorse. And laughs about it when questioned.
Not so Different: Both Iji and Iosa lost their homeworlds to Tasen Alpha Strikes. Iji attempts to call her out on it at the beginning of their fight. Depending on how the player has been playing Iji, Iosa can throw that right back in her face.
Odd Name Out: She's the only alien in the game with a last name, at least one ever mentioned.
Infinity+1 Sword: The Massacre weapon, which she is in possession of. If you manage to score 0 kills, she'll give it to Iji right before the final boss fight.
Anti-Villain: Type II. If he doesn't try to destroy Earth and wipe out the Tasen, the High Council will be forced to execute him and destroy Earth anyway.
Tor:Grraagh! Impossible... it, it's impossible!!! How could a mere human... so weak and insignificant... against a fully powered General? So much fighting skill and combat spirit... in such a frail body... Have mercy... please, I beg of you to have mercy on me!
