History Characters / CoreLineStringrayIndustries

* FireForgedFriends: They have servd together long enough to consider themselves friends and even FamilyOfChoice for some of them.

And oddly enough, when he arrived to the Core Timeline, the fact that he had been driven ''out'' of the loop was what completely broke him. He spent a long time on a mental asylum in upstate New York, the so-called "[[Franchise/DocSavage Crime College]]", and it was here where Sylia Stingray found him. She managed to speak to him on one of his brief returns to sanity to offer to personally foot the Psychosurgery and therapy bills, with his approval. If he wanted to afterwards, she would be interested in him entering her Security Services, but if he refused, well... he would be back to sanity, and he could probably be able to find a life to live outside the College's walls.

* AnimalMotifs: The wolf. Dangerous solo, even more dangerous as part of a pack. Fights fiercely for anybody she has decided to protect, but for those she considers TrueCompanions she's gonna go UpToEleven and rip apart entire armies or die trying.

* ImplacableMan: The objective of the Hellsoldier Project is to augment people with the Pariah Gene so as to turn them into this (and thus resist conventional attacks from superpowered threats long enough to deliver mortal damage, or create ''immense'' chaos behind enemy lines). Demonstrated on the [=Gideon020=] stories [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Swamp-Rats-112161400 "Swamp Rats"]] (where he gets his limbs get blown/cut off and impaled to a cargo container and he's still trying to fight) and [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Eraser-Part-2-164092048 "Eraser, Part 2"]] (where he gets set on fire with ''thermite'', bound in RazorWire, shot repeatedly with a high-caliber gun, set on fire again with Black Napalm (think ''comic-book super-science UpToEleven Napalm'') and then tossed around a room by a pseudo-Terminator, and he remains functional afterwards).

* TalkativeLoon: He at least can shut up if ordered. Then again, he could be ordered to ramp it UpToEleven, which he does with gusto.

* CrazyPrepared: He takes the [[Series/{{NCIS}} Marine rule of "Always Carry A Knife"]] and takes it UpToEleven, for starters.

* IronLady:

** "The Bookstore" is meant to be one of the abandoned library used on Seasons 1-4 of ''Series/PersonOfInterest'', mixed with a bit of ''Series/{{Warehouse13}}'' and the Men Of Letters Bunker of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' in visuals.

* {{Determinator}}: Had to be one to survive as long as he did on the Literature{{Deathlands}}, let alone not going psycho from the reincarnation loop before that.

* FieryRedhead

* BattleCouple: With Roger.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A small part of her hair is green. It's natural (and draws a pretty hefty amount of attention considering she's a blonde).

* TheNicknamer:

* BadassCrew:

* FireForgedFriends:

* TheBigGuy / TheLeader.

* CorporateSamurai:

* SergeantRock:

* ProHumanTranshuman

* SergeantRock:

* FriendlySniper.

* TheDeterminator:

* ProHumanTranshuman:

* ByronicHero.

%%* TheDeterminator:

* IdenticalStranger: He resembles the [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura two]] [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle versions]] of Li Syaoran ([[spoiler:three, if we count the clone]]) and [[Characters/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool Masaki Ichijou]]. This has been used for infiltration repeatedly by the team.

* SouthernFriedGenius.
* SuperDoc: S.I. would not entrust the medical welfare of the personnel North American Headquarters, let alone people like The Champions, to any quack.

* DeadpanSnarker:
* DigitizedHacker:

* [[ProjectedMan Projected Woman]]: Her regular way to interact with the world is to project a HardLight hologram that is about as strong as she was (capability of lifting five tons), a ''hell'' of a lot faster than she was (alive, she could go supersonic for short periods of time, now that she is ''literal light''...) and allows her to instantly change clothing and [[ShockAndAwe electrocute people by touch or from a distance]], among other things.
* ProHumanTranshuman:

* VirtualGhost:

%%* Expositron9000

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold:
* PlayfulHacker:

* MegaCorp: Well, ''duh''. There are many tropes on tis page that should tell you that.

* BadassArmy: Each member is a SuperSoldier are armed with mech suits that can make them {{Elite Mook}}s.

* PrivateMilitaryContractors:

[[folder: The Watchers]]

%%* PowerNullifier: The Pariah Gene.

%%* MegaCorp: Well, ''duh''.

%%* WeDoTheImpossible

* AdaptationalMuscles: TrainingFromHell to be up to the level of other frontline members of the Stingray Security Services and qualify for soldier work means that he has gained some more muscle on his frame that the regular Tieria Erde Alternate (although he remains pretty wiry-think Creator/BruceLee). Has not done much to stop him from looking "girly", though.

First appears on [=Gideon020=]'s stories (most important being "Eraser", parts one and two), followed by "The Gravity Falls Run" and onwards.

%%* BaldOfAwesome:

%%* HeroesRUs.

%%* BenevolentBoss.
%%* BigGood.

* IronLady

%%* ActionGirl

* AmazonianBeauty: In comparison to her regular design, she showcases some pretty hefty gym time results.

* DeadpanSnarker: Typical trait of a StarWars character.

* TheNicknamer.
* PopCulturedBadass: Been binging on Coreline and GFFA fiction like crazy. Result... for starters, there is the origin of "The Chief" nickname. Or the jokes about the Creator/LucasArts and Marvel purchase by Disney. And pointing out every cliche on the SW movies with pin-point accuracy.

%%* BaldOfAwesome.

* BadassArmy.

* PrivateMilitaryContractors.

* BadassCrew.
* BerserkButton:
** A pretty big one by all of them is the Services being insulted. You may be able to push your luck if they like you and you show some respect (ex. you point out some snafu and then point out what was done right), but if you are a JerkAss that doesn't heeds their request to stop...

* FireForgedFriends.

* CorporateSamurai.

* OldSoldier

%%* CorporateSamurai.

%%* ProHumanTranshuman.

* CloudCuckooLander.

%%* InnocentBlueEyes

* NiceGuy.

* SergeantRock.

* WouldHitAGirl: Some of the deadlist monsters on his home universe (and the Core Timeline) are female. He knows this. If there is a threat, he takes care of the threat, by any means necessary-and to Hell with what the threat's sex was.

* SergeantRock.

* TheDeterminator.

%%* TheDeterminator.

%%* AwesomenessByAnalysis.

%%* TheMcCoy: The TropeNamer.

%%* JeanneDArchetype.

* DeadpanSnarker.
* DigitizedHacker

* ProHumanTranshuman.

* VirtualGhost.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
* PlayfulHacker

* NotSoDifferent: With rival MegaCorp Genom Corporation, or at least this is what S.I.'s detractors like to paint it as. In reality... well, Genom is pretty much run by sociopaths and S.I. is not. And S.I. is trying to ''help'' people, and Genom does not. And there's all the Galactic Empire imagery on Genom as of recently, which S.I. doesn't has... so in reality it's very much a Dissimile.

* TheReliableOne: Compared to other "Superpowered CrazyAwesome" versions of him running around The Line (like, for example, the ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'' version of him), he sometimes (oddly enough) is this. Put him in a battlefield, give him a plan to follow, and he will do his damnedest to fulfill it. Ask him to HoldTheLine for whatever time you need, and he ''will'' hold it for that long (and longer, if you need him to).

And oddly enough, when he arrived to the Core Timeline, the fact that he had been driven ''out'' of the loop was what completely broke him. He spent a long time on a mental asylum in upstate New York, the so-called "[[Film/DocSavage Crime College]]", and it was here where Sylia Stingray found him. She managed to speak to him on one of his brief returns to sanity to offer to personally foot the Psychosurgery and therapy bills, with his approval. If he wanted to afterwards, she would be interested in him entering her Security Services, but if he refused, well... he would be back to sanity, and he could probably be able to find a life to live outside the College's walls.

* TheSpock: One of the members of the team more driven to maintain a logical mindset at all times (although not to the point of being a "cold son-of-a-bitch", though. Just play "Devil's Advocate", as expected of the PowerTrio Trope (with the rest of the group switching between TheKirk and TheMcCoy, depending)).

One of various [[MegaCorp Mega-Corporations]] which has risen from the ashes of the Pre-Vanishing world, S.I. has a particular clash: it is very much on the side of angels, but a lot of it carries the look of an Eighties Cyberpunk corporate joint. Led by an Alternate version of Sylia Stingray (of the 2033/Eighties version of "BubblegumCrisis"). Runs a private security army, "Stingray Security Services", of which the Champions are a sub-division of.

* HeroesRUs.
* MegaCorp: Well, ''duh''.

** The events of one story have Genom taking over multiple members of The Champions via mass-cloned variants of ShinjiIkiryo. Some of the following stories show that protocols have since been set in place to trigger a manhunt for potentially missing members if they don't make contact or arrive from patrol in a certain period of time.

* BenevolentBoss.
* BigGood.

* ActionGirl

* BaldOfAwesome.

* AnimalMotifs: The wolf. Dangerous solo, even more dangerous as part of a pack. Fights fiercely for anybody she has decided to protect, but for those she considers CloseCompanions she's gonna go UpToEleven and rip apart entire armies or die trying.

* SquadNickname: Kind-Of-Official is "The Watchers", although other nicknames applied to the unit have included "The Twelve Angry Men", "TheDogsOfWar" (hence the cribbed motto) and "The Madmen Of The Bookstore".

* WeDoTheImpossible

A former member of the Rival Relief Office (one of various "[[OhMyGoddess relief offices]]" on Asgard, with the duty of fulfilling the wishes and helping those who were worthy), Shard is a veteran of a great many, ''many'' years in various fields of "grey" and "black" ops, anything from infiltration to outright war.

* AceCustom: Uses a ''highly'' modified cyborg body, a mixture between the [[http://starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/XM-550 SICON Mobile Infantry XM-550]] [[http://starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Cybernetic_Humanoid_Assault_System C.H.A.S.]] and the [[TabletopGame/{{RIFTS}} TRIAX VX-500 "Manhunter"]], with some [[BubblegumCrisis Boomer]] added to it.

* ArtificialZombie: A TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}-style "Cyber-Zombie", with a brain made of nanophages (from the ''BubblegumCrisis'' Dark Horse comic ''Grand Mal'', by Adam Warren).

* CorporateSamurai.
* ImplacableMan: The objective of the Hellsoldier Project is to augment people with the Pariah Gene so as to turn them into this (and thus resist conventional attacks from superpowered threats long enough to deliver mortal damage, or create ''immense'' chaos behind enemy lines). Demonstrated on the Gideon020 stories [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Swamp-Rats-112161400 "Swamp Rats"]] (where he gets his limbs get blown/cut off and impaled to a cargo container and he's still trying to fight) and [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Eraser-Part-2-164092048 "Eraser, Part 2"]] (where he gets set on fire with ''thermite'', bound in RazorWire, shot repeatedly with a high-caliber gun, set on fire again with Black Napalm (think ''comic-book super-science UpToEleven Napalm'') and then tossed around a room by a pseudo-Terminator, and he remains functional afterwards).

* PowerNullifier: The Pariah Gene.
* ProHumanTranshuman.

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: SubvertedTrope "Blizzards and Bookstores" reveals that he ''knows'' how to play chess, but 1) he learned only to do something nice to HAL (because it's his favorite game) and 2) even after thousands of hours of studying chess manuals he's (by HAL's standards) mediocre at best (to the point that HAL has to rig his game to be sub-par as well, else he will drive Roger away from the sheer amount of {{CurbStompBattle}}s).

And oddly enough, when he arrived to the Core Timeline, the fact that he had been driven ''out'' of the loop was what completely broke him. He spent a long time on a mental asylum in upstate New York, the so-called "[[Literature/DocSavage Crime College]]", and it was here where Sylia Stingray found him. She managed to speak to him on one of his brief returns to sanity to offer to personally foot the Psychosurgery and therapy bills, with his approval. If he wanted to afterwards, she would be interested in him entering her Security Services, but if he refused, well... he would be back to sanity, and he could probably be able to find a life to live outside the College's walls.

* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He got trained to the level of a [[Videogame/{{Titanfall}} Titan Pilot Full Combat Certification]]. Meaning, he is up to the skill level of a modern-day ''Tier-One Special Forces operative''.

* InnocentBlueEyes.

* UnusualUserInterface: In order to pilot some of the more radical types of mecha around, Shinji got himself some implants with which to do so, such as nano-tech to drive [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Aestivalis]] and "[[BrainComputerInterface datajacks]]" to allow him to use stuff like ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad''-verse E-Frames and [[TabletopGame/CthulhuTech Engels]].

** You ''do not'' insult anybody he likes (like his girlfriend), you ''no not'' insult his unit (or Stingray Security Services in general), and you ''do not'' insult the God-Emperor of Mankind (you ''may'' get away with it if you insult the Alternate and "False" Emperors like the Canon and the [[FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K S&40K]] "Emperor". Still, you may with to choose your wording with ''exceptional'' care...

* {{Determinator}}: Had to be one to survive as long as he did on the {{Deathlands}}, let alone not going psycho from the reincarnation loop before that.

* BerserkButton: Aside from the ones he shares with the rest of the team, he is also very tired of people insulting his home universe, his race, and he has also inherited [[Franchise/FullMetalAlchemist Edward's]] dislike for people insulting his size (you may get a pass if you called him "small" as a knee-jerk reaction, but if you are like Mustang and like to do it to rile his goat... well, there ''is'' such a thing as GoneHorriblyRight).

* CompositeCharacter: While he is mostly Nicol, there are some elements of [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 The Engineer]], [[Characters/MacrossFrontier Luca Angelloni]] and even a very tiny pinch of [[Franchise/FullMetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] mixed into him (courtesy of him and Ed [[ActorAllusion being voiced by]] Creator/RomiPark).

* TheDeterminator.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis.
* BioPunk: Out of the whole group, he's the biggest sufferer (for good and bad) of the genre, starting with his genetically modified Coordinator body and the Rossum BodySurf technology, continuing with ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' and ''TakeshiKovacs''-verse techs that have made death absurdly cheap for him...

* TheMcCoy: The TropeNamer.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: CLU's coup and the thousand cycles up to the events of ''TRONLegacy''. Showcased when she compares the equipment bolt-hole central to her introductory story with those of the anti-CLU Resistance.

* HappilyMarried: To Rusty.

* JeanneDArchetype.

First appears on Gideon020's stories (most important being "Eraser", parts one and two), followed by "The Gravity Falls Run" and onwards.

--->"[[Quote To Go Here]]"

--->"[[Quote To Go Here]]"

An Alternate version of [[ComicBook/GoldDigger Britanny Elin Diggers]] that was/is Roger's girlfriend (and now is "alpha haremette"). Killed alongside Simon Peters, her soul was literally ripped out of Heaven several years after the fact and placed inside of a [[VideoGame/HostileWaters Soulcatcher Chip]] manufactured by [[TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}} Aztechnology]], which was then put in an "Eraser"-a Franchise/{{Terminator}}-style infiltrator. Once said Eraser body was destroyed, the Soulcatcher was placed inside of a mini-computer and reunited with Simon (now called "Roger Hackett"). She is Roger's appointed "Muse"-an assistant Artificial Intelligence that helps him run his many cybernetic augmentations and provides battlefield intelligence, as well as [[DoubleEntendre other types of support]].

* BiTheWay: Bisexual (and for the record, he saw "his" version of Neil Dylandy as a kind of big brother-admits that he thought of him as hot a few times. [[StupidSexyFlanders And who wouldn't?]]).

* BerserkButton: Aside from the ones he shares with the rest of the team, he is also very tired of people insulting his home universe (in general-let's just say that some people still think of ''SEED'' and ''SEED Destiny'' as the Gundam franchise's SnarkBait ''[[WhatAnIdiot even when the Coordinators, ZAFT and Orb and even Blue Earth are real]]''), his race, and he has also inherited [[Franchise/FullMetalAlchemist Edward's]] dislike for people insulting his size (you may get a pass if you called him "small" as a knee-jerk reaction, but if you are like Mustang and like to do it to rile his goat... well, there ''is'' such a thing as GoneHorriblyRight).

[[Characters/CoreLine Back to main character page]]

* HeroicAlbino.

* ScarsAreForever[=/=]GlasgowSmile: Has a scar on his face that twists the right side of his mouth into a slight "smile".

* MsFanservice: Seven-foot AmazonianBeauty cheetah CatGirl with a propensity for very tight outfits (with her standard nowadays being a ''Tron''-style FutureSpandex) that can change between them in the blink of an eye (including [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Head-Six's]] slinky red outfit) and is a pretty good definition of the term "ActionGirlfriend".
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Connected to Roger's mind as she is, she has the capacity to appear to Roger alone, like [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Head-Six]].

* PlayfulHacker: Her "upgrades" for becoming a Program included ''military-grade'' (by Post-Vanishing standards, which means it's capable of fighting super-hackers like [[Anime/GhostInTheShell Motoko Kusanagi]] and [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined the Cylons]], even if victory is not 100% assured) Information Warfare sub-routines and the knowledge of how to use them.

* TheMovieBuff: And the story [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/A-CORELINE-STORY-BLIZZARDS-AND-BOOKSTORES-524792712 "Blizzards And Bookstores"]] show that he believes TheresNoBInMovie.

* PastimesProvePersonality: A man assigned to look over a warehouse full of media that has watched and read it all, even having a quirk of letting movies run uninterrupted on the background as relaxation noises, has an apparent belief that TheresNoBInMovie, and has given praise to his cover work because it's let him see a myriad ways that the "DifferentWorldDifferentMovies" trope has manifested on the Core Timeline? Definitely a [[Literature/ReadyPlayerOne James Halliday-slash-Parzival]]-slash-[[Film/BabyDriver Baby]]-slash-Creator/QuentinTarantino-style geek with an undying love for pop culture... only tempered with the fact that this knowledge is also useful for those times he has to ''kill people''.

An Alternate version of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Nicol Amarfi]] who, after surviving nearly being cut in half by a Mecha-sized LaserSword, both Valentine Wars and all miscellaneous kinds of hell, appeared on the Core Timeline and quit the ZAFT Armed Forces.

* HumanoidAbomination: Technically, he already was this on canon. He has no problem boosting the "abomination" presentation (probably by imitating a [[HillbillyHorrors demented hillbilly]] or TheFundamentalist-by way of-''CapeFear'') for intimidation purposes.

!!"Gunnery Sergeant" Ryoga Hibiki (United States Marine Corps, Retired/Direct Action, Retired), Callsign "Bulldozer", "Watcher Six".
---> ''""Any problem on Earth can be solved with the careful application of high explosives. The trick is not to be around when they go off."''

An Alternate of [[Anime/RanmaOneHalf Ryoga Hibiki]] that comes from a timeline crossing over with the ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'' Role-Playing Game. Without the capacity (or at least the knowledge) for Ki powers that his other closer-to-canon Alternates had access to, he became a {{Transhuman}}, a citizen of the United States, and then a [[SemperFi Marine]], in that order. And everything looked good for him... until [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt The Fall]] happened. Killed in action, re-sleeved off-world, poor, he became a member of the mercenary group "Direct Action" and performed quite a lot of unsavory things for the sake of keeping the peace throughout the Solar System for some time...

* OddFriendship: With Ranma (an [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} Imperial Guardsman]], even if "ex" and from a LighterAndSofter MirrorUniverse). Borderline HeterosexualLifePartners.

* OneOfUs: InUniverse: Has become enough of a geek to know stuff like ''Series/MysteryScienceTheatre3000'' jokes and the like. This has a pretty interesting justification-tremendous amounts of nostalgia for her sister Gina and the fact that The Grid (where she lives most of the time) runs on [[YearInsideHourOutside accelerated time]] and thus she dove into the "geek stuff" to escape from the boredom.

* OneOfUs: InUniverse. He was a pretty big geek before his death (card-carrying member of his college's [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]] Fan Club) and afterwards said geekery has been tempered with the knowledge that every tid-bit he can recall from a character could be used to "[[DeadlyEuphemism take care]]" of said character [[CrazyPrepared if he ever encounters him in battle]].

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The "Reipe" (the first contact with the "FanFiction/NobodyDies" universe, which had their version of Rei running around doing goofy, highly humiliating (for the company's personnel) stuff and then got worse, ending with SSS being deployed to NERV for some muscle-flexing for the sake of intimidating the Ikaris into giving Rei ''some'' kind of punishment and essentially ending up re-enacting [[Film/BlackHawkDown the Battle Of Mogadishu (with SSS as the Americans)]]) was the first time in a while that S.I. had been put through the wringer (and for a double-whammy, the first time in a while that an encounter with NERV was a full-on borderline CurbStompBattle on NERV's favor). Sylia swallowed her pride, apologized to the Ikaris, and vowed to do her damnedest so it didn't happened again.

* MyGreatestFailure: "The Reipe" is this (again, a re-enacting of ''Film/BlackHawkDown'' with SSS standing in for the Americans ''and the NobodyDies version of Tokyo-3 standing for Mogadishu''). [[spoiler:The events of ''Rise Of The Extraordinary Avengers'' imply that the events of ''Legends Of The Fourth Of July'' are also this for the group in general (and The Champions in (POV-wise) specific).]]

* TheReliableOne: Compared to other "Superpowered CrazyAwesome" versions of him running around The Line (like, for example, the ''NobodyDies'' version of him), he sometimes (oddly enough) is this. Put him in a battlefield, give him a plan to follow, and he will do his damnedest to fulfill it. Ask him to HoldTheLine for whatever time you need, and he ''will'' hold it for that long (and longer, if you need him to).

* AppropriatedAppellation: She once called Sylia "The Chief" as a one-shot gag ShoutOut to ''GetSmart''. Soon enough, everybody in the corporation is calling her that.
