* ProudWarriorRaceGuy:
* BloodKnight: They never talk about anything besides warfare and bloodshed, and [[EnemyChatter some of them say aloud that they hope they get the chance to kill Earth scum before the war ends]]
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: How the game portrays them.
* ChildSoldier: A loading screen states that each SDF male must serve 15 years in their military: starting at age 12.
* CompleteMonster: With their psychotic loathing of "Earthen" humans, deliberate targeting of civilians, operation of forced labor camps, and hatred of basic human freedoms, the Settlement Defense Front are a vile and repugnant group of people. [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Not a single member of the SDF is portrayed sympathetically]].

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized
* FantasticRacism: Towards Earth-Born humans
* PretentiousLatinMotto: Mars Aeternum
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Their outfits and uniforms integrate a lot of black and red.

* BoxedCrook: Radoslav Barkov's "Dire Battalion" formed out of SDF prisoners. Also, certain members of the SDF were already considered criminals by the UNSA before joining.

* AdvertisedExtra:

* AdvertisedExtra:

* StayInTheKitchen: Compared to the UNSA and SATO. Their entire army and it's leadership is male. A loading screen points out that they deliberately maintain a 4 to 1 male to female birthrate.

* TheDreaded: The ''Olympus Mons'' is considered the most dangerous ship in the entire solar system.

* YouWillNotSurvive: Contacts Reyes and the ''Re

* {{Determinator}}: Like many a Call Of Duty protagonists before him. [[spoiler:His death scene is a pretty good example of this as it actually takes him a little while to finally go down despite being in the middle of a barrage of missiles and debris.]]

* HeroicMime: He is the first of Infinity Ward's player characters to avert this and the Fourth (after David Mason, Jack Mitchell and the Black Ops III Player Character) COD protagonist to avert this throughout the entirety of his campaign.

* RedOniBlueOni: He is the blue to Salter's red. Her comments on disrespecting Raines, wanting to go after Omar, and torture Riah along with her insubordination report that can be read in the Captain's quarters on the Retribution make her seem like a very clear hothead compared to Reyes who advocates respecting the Admiral and Omar and going into the real fight rather than going after one man.

* ActionGirl: The "nuclear option with a ponytail", Reyes' trusted wingwoman who follows him into combat throughout the game. [[spoiler:Tellingly, she's also one of only ''four'' crew members from the ''Retribution'' to survive the campaign, giving her {{Badass}} credentials a significant boost.]]

* {{Badass}}: In proud Call Of Duty tradition.

* HeriocMime: He is the first of Infinity Ward's player characters to avert this and the Fourth (after David Mason, Jack Mitchell and the Black Ops III Player Character) COD protagonist to avert this throughout the entirety of his campaign.

* PlatonicLifePartners: With Salter.

* RedOniBlueOni: He is the blue to Salter's red.

* TheStoic: There's roughly three points in the entire game when his face changes from his standard stone look...[[spoiler:when Omar dies and Salt refuses to go back for him, when the Olympus Mons destroys the HQ and kills Raines and when Ethan dies.]]

* TheLancer: To Reyes.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Reyes.

Nick Reyes

* Badass: In proud Call Of Duty tradition.

* Determinator: Like many a Call Of Duty protagonists before him. [[spoiler:His death scene is a pretty good example of this as it actually takes him a little while to finally go down despite being in the middle of a barrage of missiles and debris.]]

[[spoiler:TheHeroDies: Ultimately, he is killed at the very end of the campaign when he orders his Lancer, Salter, and the Retribution to fire on the Shipyard that he is on, breaching his suit and exposing him to space, killing him.]]

* TrueCompanions: He and Salter seem to be this even before the events of the game. Having served together for at least ten years, this comes as no surprise.

* The Captain: He receives this rank after his promotion to Commander and Acting Captain of the Retribution following Captain Alder's death near the beginning of the game. He is also the Commander of the Retribution's SCAR (Space Combat Air Recon) unit prior to this.

* A Father To His Men: Detrimental in his case, his inability to prioritize the mission success over the lives of the soldiers under his command leads to several instances where his forces very nearly lose due to his poor decisions in an attempt to minimize casualties.

[[* TheHeroDies: Ultimately, he is killed at the very end of the campaign when he orders his Lancer, Salter, and the Retribution to fire on the Shipyard that he is on, breaching his suit and exposing him to space, killing him.]]

* Bash Siblings: He and Salter are a male-female version of this. They've served together in the SCAR for at least ten years prior to the game and she is usually the one to back him up or save him when he's in a tight spot. She's basically the female Woods to his Mason, even having his hot temper.

* Herioc Mime: He is the first of Infinity Ward's player characters to avert this and the Fourth (after David Mason, Jack Mitchell and the Black Ops III Player Character) COD protagonist to avert this throughout the entirety of his campaign.
* Heroic Sacrifice: Twice. The first time he orders the Retribution to escape the attacking Olympus Mons despite knowing that it will doom him to a slow, grim death in space over Saturn's moon, Titan. {{He isn't so lucky the second time and ends up suffering that grim space death after his suit is breached when he orders the Retribution to fire on the SDF spaceport that he is on at the end of the game, destroying it and their fleet building ability at the cost of his own life.}}
[[* The Hero Dies: Ultimately, he is killed at the very end of the campaign when he orders his Lancer, Salter, and the Retribution to fire on the Shipyard that he is on, breaching his suit and exposing him to space, killing him.]]
* Reality Ensues: A man with an overwhelmingly protective instinct towards his men isn't such a good Commander when he prioritizes their lives above the mission success. It nearly costs them victory in the war. {{Also, as Salter says after one mission, after all the shit that he miraculously survives throughout the story, eventually, his luck finally runs out at the end.}}
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: He is the blue to Salter's red. Her comments on disrespecting Raines, wanting to go after Omar and torture Riah along with her insubordination report that can be read in the Captain's quarters on the Retribution make her seem like a very clear hothead compared to Reyes who advocates respecting the Admiral and Omar and going into the real fight rather than going after one man.
* The Stoic: There's roughly three points in the entire game when his face changes from his standard stone look...{{when Omar dies and Salt refuses to go back for him, when the Olympus Mons destroys the HQ and kills Raines and when Ethan dies.}}
* Tempting Fate: Near the beginning of the game, one of the first things the player does after taking control of him is walk past a SATO memorial wall where he and Salter make some comments about not ending up on it. {{By the end of the game, he ends up on it.}}
* True Companions: He and Salter seem to be this even before the events of the game. Having served together for at least ten years, this comes as no surprise.
