History Characters / CoffeeTalk

* ItsAllMyFault: Rachel feels this way upon learning that [[spoiler: Hendry not only got injured by fighting some men who were talking badly about her, but that they were men hired by the manager Hendry had warned her repeatedly about.]] It's even worse on a route [[spoiler: where Hendry doesn't receive medical attention quickly enough, leaving him paraplegic.]]

* NomDeMom: She uses her [[MissingMom deceased mother's]] maiden name as part of her stage name.

* PutOnABus: She's absent for the duration of Episode 2 due to travelling for research on her next book. [[spoiler:She comes back on the final day, though.]]

** In Episode 2, [[spoiler:Amanda calls the Barista "Café Offspring", to Baileys' confusion. The Barista just exchanges knowing glances with Silver (formerly Neil) as a CallBack to TheReveal in the previous game's stinger.]]

* HybridPower: The other half of their lineage isn't stated but [[spoiler:being a hybrid with an alien parent technically makes them, as Freya describes it, "a superhero." The end of the game reveals them to have TimeTravel powers, represented by the game's feature to allow you load and replay any day on the calendar after one playthrough.]]

* ChosenConceptionPartner: Well, seeking one out anyway. Neil's mission, and the primary reason for being on Earth, is to breed with a female [[spoiler:in order to provide the planet with a [[HybridPower hybrid with their race's special abilities]] to protect from any yet-to-be-known threats]]. Thanks to Neil's [[PoorCommunicationKills limited understanding of Earth communication]], their search is a difficult one.

* LivingMoodRing: Their helmet's visor flashes different colors depending on their mood, like yellow for happiness and red for anger.

* LivingMoodRing: Like Silver, their helmet's visor flashes different colors depending on their mood, like yellow for happiness and red for anger.

* AmbiguousGender: Despite their feminine name, their gender is indeterminate like Silver's [[spoiler:when he used to be an alien]]. The Barista calls them "Ms." while the other patrons use "they/them" pronouns when referring to them.

The PlayerCharacter, who serves drinks to the regulars and regularly chats with them. They sometimes offer them advice for their problems, and whether they succeed in helping them or not depends on the drinks they serve (and also wether or not they give them, and which ones, in Episode 2).

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Rachel seems to be the youngest member of the cast, and is definitely the most immature. She frequently points out that, being eighteen, she is "officially" an adult and is deeply frustrated by Hendry continuing to (in her view) treat her like a child. Older patrons of the shop tend to look out for her, particularly Jorji, Gala, and even Freya.

* GentleGiant: He's the biggest customer among the regulars, but his heart is just as big as him as long as he manages his Fury. However, young children are still scared by him because of his size.

* LongLived: According to Hyde, Gala is from a long-living species, but while he'll live as long as he does, he'll still grow old ahead of him, but Hyde will eventually outlive him because he's immortal.
* MellowFellow: Despite being a werewolf who goes through monthly "Furies," Gala is easily the calmest and most easygoing of the cast. While he displays an average range of emotions his expressions are always subdued and he never raises his voice... with one major exception: [[spoiler: when he appears in the coffee shop while transformed on the night of the full moon after not being able to restrain himself in time.]]
* NiceGuy: A friendly guy who took a job at a hospital to help others. He ends up helping several other patrons of Coffee Talk, such as offering advice to Baileys [[spoiler: or helping Hendry get medical attention after he's in a fight,]] and he's deeply ashamed at himself [[spoiler: for scaring Freya and The Barista when he appears at Coffee Talk while transformed.]]

* ShellShockedVeteran: Gala is a war veteran, and while he currently seems well-adjusted both he and Hyde make allusions to him being in a bad state during the 1960s, to the point that Hyde eventually got him to go to therapy and get a job that didn't involve him using violence against others.

* ParentsAsPeople: Jorji is a father to three girls but is more defined by his job and his relationships with the other Coffee Talk patrons. According to him, he argues frequently with his daughter, especially his eldest, but still manages a good relationship with them by using their fights to understand each other better. He even admits bribery is a viable option for parents.\\

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Jorji mentions that there was talk down at the precinct [[spoiler:of arresting Gala for being in public while transformed, but ultimately he and the others agreed not to do it, as Gala not only managed to not hurt anyone but also provided a lot of valuable aid to the concerned werewolves that flooded that hospital that night.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In Episode 2, he reveals to the Barista that he's afraid of ghosts, which is why he's scared of the possibility of [[spoiler:the dead hawthorn tree, which was left behind by the fairy that was killed by a drunk driver, being haunted.]]

* BrutalHonesty: One of his main character traits. This is what gets him in a big argument with Lua when he starts offering his opinion on her problems with Baileys- Freya points out he wasn't necessarily ''wrong,'' but he was far too harsh. Baileys, on the other hand, takes his blunt relationship advice for him well in Episode 2, and Hyde jokingly muses to himself that he should take up a career on relationship counseling [[spoiler:because he's bored with his job as a model]].

* SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids: In Episode 2, he declines Lua's suggestion to become a wedding photographer [[spoiler:when he considers changing jobs]] not just because he doesn't like weddings for [[SickeninglySweet being too sweet]], he also doesn't believe that marriage is everlasting. [[spoiler:He speaks from experience because he divorced his wife.]]

* NiceGuy: His main point of characterization is being a nice, decent cop. This is most apparent on Day 3, in which her looks after Rachel and gives her a ride home after giving her advice with her dad.

* FlatCharacter: Jorji doesn't really change over the course of the game and is one of the few members of the cast who doesn't have a "paired" character, acting more as a third minor character to Hendry and Rachel's subplot. He's also notably the ''only'' character to not have an end card. He gets some CharacterDevelopment in Episode 2, where Riona helps him with his case involving slashed tires and his co-workers help him overcome his fear of ghosts.

* PutOnABus: She's absent for the duration of Episode 2 due to travelling for research on her next book. [[spoiler:She comes back on the final day, though]]

* NoSenseOfDirection: He gets drunk during his business meeting with his team and then gets lost in Kerry Park, prompting Riona to drive him home.

* FlatCharacter: Jorji doesn't really change over the course of the game and is one of the few members of the cast who doesn't have a "paired" character, acting more as a third minor character to Hendry and Rachel's subplot. He's also notably the ''only'' character to not have an end card.

* GoodLuckCharm: He believes that his grandfather's lighter is a lucky charm because when he drops it after his first visit in Episode 2, he gets into a string of unlucky events. He often keeps on losing it whenever he leaves the café.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Jorji mentions that there was talk down at the precinct [[spoiler: of arresting Gala for being in public while transformed, but ultimately he and the others agreed not to do it, as Gala not only managed to not hurt anyone but also provided a lot of valuable aid to the concerned werewolves that flooded that hospital that night.]]

* NervesOfSteel: [[spoiler: They're able to keep a cool head and serve a sedative to Gala in the middle of his Fury.]]

* VagueAge: Even when Baileys flat-out asks how old the barista is, the only answer they give is "[[MathematiciansAnswer old enough to open a coffee shop.]]" And when Hyde asks them in Episode 2 if they will wait for him, [[Really700YearsOld even a century or two later]], they just remark, "That is very perceptive of you, Mr. Hyde." [[spoiler:Since they're the same alien species as Neil/Silver and Amanda, their true age is muddied further.]]

* VagueAge: Even when Baileys flat-out asks how old the barista is, the only answer they give is "[[MathematiciansAnswer old enough to open a coffee shop.]]"

* LongLived: According to Hyde, Gala is from a long-living species, but while he'll live as long as he does, he'll still grow old ahead of him.

* LongLived: According to Hyde, Gala is from a long-living species, but while he'll live as long as he does, he'll grow old ahead of him.

* NobleWolf: A kind werewolf who works at a hospital specifically to help improve and save lives. He's so adverse to the idea of hurting others that he usually breaks furniture or [[{{SelfHarm}} hurts himself]] during his monthly transformations to lower the risk of danger to anyone around him.

* UnstoppableRage: This is what happens to werewolves during their monthly Fury, and what makes them so dangerous. According to Gala he usually tries to focus his fury into breaking objects around him or injuring himself, hence why he's CoveredInScars.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Hyde married a woman (going by the brief glimpse in [[https://twitter.com/coffeetalk_game/status/1228333077752999937 this official comic]]) some time before he met Gala, [[spoiler:but the relationship ended in a divorce.]] As the game goes on, it's repeatedly hinted [[spoiler:that he has unspoken feelings for Gala that may or may not be requited.]] In Hyde's best ending ([[spoiler:or rather, Hyde and Gala's best ending]]), it's revealed [[spoiler:that Hyde is trying to move to Seattle permanently... with the photo changing to [[CovertPervert Hyde presenting a flustered Gala]] ''[[{{CallBack}} with a pair of fuzzy handcuffs.]]'']] The title of the achievement you get for getting this ending? "[[{{MaybeEverAfter}} There's a spark.]]"
