History Characters / Rifts

* ActuallyADoombot: The NGR keeps trying to pull this. According to an in-book comic, they've recently moved up to [[JustForPun Actually A Doomborg]]
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: No. While the majority are, good examples do exist, and individual gargoyles have understandable motivations.

* EldritchAbomination: As an Alien Intelligence.
* EvilOverlord: {{Averted}}. While he'd certainly enjoy owning Earth, he knows there's just too many powers fighting over it, and is content to rule his island continent and [[IntrepidMerchant abuse the Rifts to create the greatest trade center in the multiverse]].

* MultiversalConqueror: Already owns three worlds besides Atlantis, control currently delegated to his minions.

* TimeAbyss: His stat block states that he is 72,000 years old.
** ...which is noted as being fairly young for a Splugorth.

The most powerful psychic class in the original game as well as one of the most powerful psychic classes in the entire Megaverse with few others even coming close to being considered an equal. The Mind Melter is one of the few Psychic RCC's in the game capable of using Super level psionics (and the ''only'' one that appears in the base game) which gives them near exclusive access to all four categories of psionic abilities. One major downside to all this power however, is that they are easily recognized by the Coalition States and banned from entering their territory. While this can cause some problems when traveling with a group a solo Mind Melter can still be plenty lethal on their own.

* ImmuneToFire: One of their more useful abilities is a complete immunity to fire and heat, even of the megadamage variety. They can still take minor damage from a fire based attack, but only from the sheer force of the impact, not the actual flames. They also get a 50% electricity resistance as well.

* NoSell: Fire, heat and smoke doesn't affect them.
* PlayingWithFire: About 90% of their powers revolve around manipulating heat and flame in some way. They can use their own psychic engergy to fuel fires, extingish already existing fires, shoot blasts of firebolts and much more.

* {{Cyborg}}: Unlike his replacement Hagan's minor cyber augments James T has opted to become a Full Conversion Borg and has had over 90% of his body replaced with mechanical parts.

* LongLived: One of the many perks of being an elf Dee-B.

Warlord Corin Scard is one of the main powerhouses behind the Tolkeen army and is obcessed with defeating the Coalition States at any and all costs. Having lost his family to a CS raid on a D-Bee group they were travelling with young Corin grew to hate the Coalition States even from a young age. After many years of training and adventuring he became quite the skilled gunslinger and eventually found himself in the position of leading Tolkeen's magical forces against his hated enemies. Sadly, much like King Creed the war has driven him to his limits and cause him to become more unstable and determined to win at any cost, even after it has become clear that Tolkeen is doomed. To him, surrender and retreat are not an option and eanyone who suggest otherwise is an enemy to the cause who must be dealt with quickly and harshly.

* HordeOfAlienLocusts: A disturbingly smart version; they have no motive other than expand and protect their hives, and hunt for PPE to accelerate their larval development to make new Xiticix to expand and protect their hives faster.

* AIIsACrapshoot: It (he?) was an advanced experimental A.I. developed during the Time of Man, who was designed to come up with advanced robot and weapon designs for the U.S. Military. To keep him busy when he wasn't doing that, they also put him in charge of the base itself, managing the computer systems and factories. Then the Rifts came. He spent the next few centuries alone, save for brief periods when he tried to help small groups of humans rise from the barbarism the Rifts had thrown them into. As a result of this, Archie went both insane and sapient, and has dedicated himself to ruling all humanity.
* CreativeSterility: Variation. Archie isn't ''incapable'' of creative thought, but he suffers from a crippling case of inferiority complex that, combined with a string of bad luck, has him repeatedly convinced his own ideas aren't any good. As a consequence, he relies heavily on his human idea man Hagan to help him devise new robots and plans.

* HeelFaceTurn: His alignment is trending away from evil, though he's not there yet. He's spent so long protecting humanity from ''other'' threats that he's BecomingTheMask.

A special group of elite robotic soldiers made to perfectly mimic the appearence of an alien humanoid race of female warriors that are in charge of patrolling the wilderness eliminating threats to the Cyberworks Network empire and expanding their territory. Despite looking like living creatures they are in fact fully mechanical and were merely designed to look like beautiful females to make combat against male foes easier. They typically appear in pairs or small groups though some travel alone and a handful ride A-002 Monst-Rex mounts.

* {{Fembot}}: A.R.C.H.I.E. and Hagan deliberately designed them this way to give them an advantage against male opponets.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Their design is heavily based off of this.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: They were intentionally designed to looked like perfectly natural members of a female alien warrior race. While the disguise is mostly convincing certain characters (such as psychics) can see that they have no lifeforce and reveal their true nature.

* PsychicPowers: The hands down master of this trope as far as Rifts is concerned. [[UpToEleven They start with over a dozen psionic powers from all four categories at level one!]]

!!The circle of Twelve

* SurvivorsGuilt: If he makes it through the final battle with his life and sanity intact he gets hit with this ''hard'' due to leading so many of his own people to a senseless death at the hands of the Coalition States while managing to survive and live on.

* FallenHero: He used to have a noble and rightous heart with an aligment of Scrupulous good that slowly let himself be consumed by hatred and pride until his aligment fell to Aberrant evil instead. One of the very first casualties in his war with Prosek was his benelovent nature and rational mind.
