History Characters / BeyondGoodAndEvil

* AlliterativeName: ImpliedTrope. He goes by the pseudonym "Double H", and his real first name is Hubert. There is a pretty good chance his last name also starts with a "H".

--> '''Jade''': Jade! My name is Jade!
--> '''Double H''': I'm at your service, Miss Jade Thyrus!

* HotScoop: She even used to be the page picture for that trope!

* IntrepidReporter: Ditto. She even runs her own company, "Jade Reporting", where she makes a living off her photojournalistic skills.

* StealthExpert: Despite having no training in it, Jade is pretty stealthy. In fact she's practically a female [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]].

* EldritchAbomination: Yeah, it doesn't look all that threatening, but... seriously, what the ''hell'' is it? Where did it come from? How was it created? What the ''fuck'' is with the giant humanoid statue that it rests on? What's with the statue's deformed, almost holographic face? What's its gender? In what way is it a "priest"? Did it create the other [=DomZ=]? Are there more like it? Nobody knows, at least until we get some answers at the second game.
** ''Also'', it basically looks like a floating head with something resembling tendrils and mandibles. The very first utterance of a line it ever had was a cough, followed by him saying that he's dying. If we may be so blunt as to ask, "Your Excellency", what happened to the ''[[BodyHorror rest]]'' of your body?

* YouHaveFailedMe: A Spirit-Eater under the priest's control is given a report by a high-ranking Alpha Section soldier. The soldier tells him that all intruders have been neutralized, just as the Spirit-Eater turns and sees Jade. In response, the priest promptly drains the Alpha Section soldier of his life energy, and instead creates a monster from nearby machinery to kill Jade.

-->''The Mammago Garage, and so!''

-->''"Mammago garage, you know! When you're mamma won't go, you know! The Mammago Garage, and so!"''

Member of the IRIS Network, and the one who contacts Jade. He is usually the one in charge, so he might be second in command after the chief.

[[folder:The Chief]]

[[quoteright:215:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Alpha_Section_Beyond_Good_and_Evil_6470.png]]
The FacelessMooks under the command of General Kheck. They've recently converted the [[SecretGovernmentWarehouse Nutripils factory]] and the [[LandmarkingTheHiddenBase Old Slaughter House]] into their [[SupervillainLair military bases]] on Hillys.

* DropTheHammer: Their weapon of choice.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: [[spoiler:Without their helmets on, the Alpha Section troops look downright grotesque.]]
* EyeBeams: Though in this case they're for scanning the environment, and not igniting their enemies.
* GasMaskMooks: [[spoiler:In order to hide the grotesque corruption that the [=DomZ=] have afflicted them with.]]
* MonsterProtectionRacket: Instead of fighting the [=DomZ=], the Alpha Section is really in its employ, and uses the [=DomZ's=] abilities to benefit themselves.
* MightyGlacier: If you're not able to exploit their obvious weak point (below) or [[BullyingADragon just choose not to]], you can take one out in a straight fight with some {{Bullfight Boss}}-like tactics. However, their hammers hit damn hard if you mess up, and they can take a lot of punishment. Fighting a crowd of them is usually unwise unless you're very good with melee combos.
* ObviouslyEvil: That the Alpha Section doesn't mean well is really no big surprise. Beside the traits that General Kheck shows, the average soldiers never show their faces, have glowing red visors, and wear black armor with skulls painted on them.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: The Alpha Section aren't part of Hillys's civilian military branch, they're interplanetary mercenaries who've muscled the Hillyan government out of power.
* ShootTheFuelTank: Kicking it once causes them to run around uncontrollably until they get it repaired. Kicking it ''twice'' causes the tank to fly into air, taking it with them [[{{Balloonacy}} higher and higher]], unless they hit a ceiling or something else [[CruelAndUnusualDeath and explode]].
* TranshumanTreachery: Those recruited to join the Alpha Sections are converted into [=DomZ=] monsters who willingly aid in abducting and killing their fellow Hillyans.
* PoweredArmor: It's even better than the regular army's laser proof armor.
* SpaceBase: [[spoiler:A base on the moon.]]

[[folder:The DomZ]]

!!The [=DomZ=] Priest

!!The [=DomZ=]

A parasitic race of aliens that have been waging war across Hillys for twenty years. They come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, and take care to abduct a planet's inhabitants alive rather than simply killing them.

* AchillesHeel: The corrupted Pearls that make up the [=DomZ=] "eyes" usually serve as these.
* AlienInvasion: The game centers around the [=DomZ=] invading the peaceful mining planet of Hillys.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: No "good" [=DomZ] are encountered during the game, they're all hostile and bent on abducting Hillyans.
* BlackSpeech: The [=DomZ=] speech is full of guttural unintelligible words that just sound sinister. The [=DomZ=] Priest in particular peppers words from his home language into his otherwise intelligible speech.
* ColonyDrop: A common tactic of theirs is to bombard Hillys with meteor showers.
* TheCorrupter: [=DomZ=] corrupt both the Alpha Section soldiers and some of the wildlife on Hillys (such as the Reaper) into monsters. They can even bring inanimate machinery into life to kill for them.
* DyingRace: [[spoiler:It's implied that without Shauni, aka "the heart of [the Priest's] power," that the entire race is dying and they need to drain the life from other creatures to survive.]]
* HordeOfAlienLocusts: Other than the [=DomZ=] Priest, the [=DomZ=] don't seem to have much in the way of personality, just travelling from world to world to rob them of their resources and drain the native populations of their energy to extend their own lives.
* HumanResources: The [=DomZ=] abduct Hillyans to suck them dry of all their energy so the [=DomZ=] can live longer.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: The [=DomZ=] Serpents that attack boats on the water are reminiscent of giant sea serpents.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The entire race has one with the appropriate track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsWO1FHeJBs "Dancing with Domz."]]
* MouthOfSauron: Spirit Eaters, the flying cyclops, spider-like [=DomZ=], can be used by the [=DomZ=] Priest to communicate with others or witness events.
* RecurringBoss: Jade fights against [=DomZ=] Serpent is fought multiple times, though each encounter is with a new one since she kills the former ones.
* VampiricDraining: The [=DomZ=] prolong their own lives by draining the LifeEnergy of the people Hillyans they're abducting.

!!The Lighthouse Children
Fehn, Pablo, Oumi, Yoa, Kip, and Zaza are a group of six children whom Jade watches over. They are all orphans of the war against the [=DomZ=]. Jade's desire to provide for them kickstarts the plot as she takes a risky job for the sake of helping them. [[spoiler: They eventually get kidnapped by the Alpha Sections, which drives Jade to a HeroicBSOD before coming back around to save them.]]

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Kip, who takes a ''lot'' of responsibility for the other kids despite seemingly being one of the younger ones. Oumi is female, but has many of the same personality traits.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Yoa, who is, inexplicably, ''bright blue.'' She's supposedly a human, but that's up for debate.
* CoolBigSis: Fehn has an especially close relationship with Jade, so he views her in this light much more strongly than the other kids.
* FacialMarkings: Yoa has white ones on her cheeks, beneath her eyes.
* FunnyAnimal: Fehn and Oumi are both goat people, or ''Capra sapiens.''
* TheHeart: Oumi tries very hard to be this, and seems to worry about Jade a lot.
* HeartwarmingOrphan
* MrImagination: Fehn, who has a fondness for pretending to be a knight, and even wants to grow up to be a soldier.
** Possibly Pablo as well, since he seems to enjoy telling stories of Woof doing impossible things.
* MysteriousWaif: Yoa, in addition to being blue, speaks an unknown language and has been spying on Pey'j. Or she can ''see into the future.'' It's not clear which, but either way, she's mysterious and [[ForeShadowing drops some vauge hints about impending plot events if you talk to her]].
* OneSteveLimit: The orphan Fehn is not to be confused with the JerkAss news anchor Fehn Digler.
* ParentWithNewParamour: Initially, Fehn seems to ''think'' this is the case between [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Jade and Double H]]. He seems... skeptical. However, the end credits PhotoMontage shows that he eventually comes to like Double H a lot--and probably has Jade set him straight.
* ShrinkingViolet: Zaza. This is probably because her parents were only killed recently, so it's understandable that she's still in a state of shock.
* TroubledChild: Poor Zaza...

!!Fehn Digler
A smarmy Hillyan News reporter/anchor who spends most of the game being a propoganda mouthpiece for the Alpha Section.

* ConfusedBystanderInterview: Tries to pull this on Jade after the lighthouse attack. Pey'j is not amused.
%%* CoolShades
* GonzoJournalism: If you subscribe to the Hillyan News, you can be treated to his efforts to slander the IRIS "terrorists" after every major plot event ([[CoincidentalBroadcast often immedeately afterwards]]). [[spoiler:Satisfyingly twisted in your favor right before the endgame.]]
* KentBrockmanNews
%%* LargeHam
* OneSteveLimit: See above.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: If he isn't outright in the Alpha Section's pocket, he sure does love buttering them up. [[spoiler:Thus, when you blow the lid off the entire conspiracy at the end, he somewhat sheepishly spends his last broadcast singing the praises of the "proud journalistic profession".]]
* PropagandaMachine: One arm of it for the Alpha Section. When they broadcast audio of his interview with Jade, they include Pey saying "You guys are ''not'' what I'd call as fast as a speeding bullet!" They conveniently cut his follow-up, "Keep doing nothing, and next time, there'll be nothing left to save!" Also, they omit the "not".
%%* TheQuisling
%%* SmarmyHost
* TotallyRadical: "Hey pop! Stay zen! Don't get your snout bent out of shape!"
* WarWasBeginning: "The war has arrived at the gates of Hillys!"

* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:He kidnaps the orphans from the lighthouse.]]

* BigBad: It is the thing responsible for the main conflict.

* {{Badass}}: On top of everything else, he also apparently [[TheDeterminator swam almost two miles in full body armor]].

--> '''Peepers:''' You'd have to be blind to see [Jade's talent].

* ObviouslyEvil: That the Alpha Section doesn't mean well is really no big surprise. Beside the traits that General Kheck shows, the average soldiers never shows their faces, has glowing red visors, and wears black armor with skulls painted on them.

* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: After spending weeks in a Domz torture device, he's dead by the time Jade manages to free him. Luckily her [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands healing powers]] manage to revive him.]]

* [[spoiler: [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Kids]]: He kidnaps the orphans from the lighthouse.]]

* LargeHam

* [[spoiler:OptionalBoss: Of the Alpha Section HQ sidequest; he follows up a hair-raising stealth sequence (evade detection at all costs or die instantly) with a JumpScare and a memorable RoofHopping escape.]]

* [[spoiler: SpaceBase: A base on the moon.]]

* [[spoiler: DeathByIrony: Before she was "taken away" and turned into a human, Shauni (Jade) was the source of his powers, and he wants her back. She's the one that kills him. Ends up pulling double-duty as HoistByHisOwnPetard, in that sense.]]
