History Characters / CursedTrilogy

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Twice. [[spoiler: Bringing a Jennifer possessed by the Banshee back from the mines allows her to control Malus's monster and cultist minions to wreak havoc topside, leading to the second game. It also wasn't very smart of him to give his family the broken pieces of Luna's crystal he found in the ruins to each member [[ReforgedIntoAMinion which turned them all into monsters]] that Jennifer later has to fight in the third game.]]

* TheDeterminator: ''Cursed 3'' sees him return to Jennifer's aid with his hammer and shotgun in tow. In one ending, [[spoiler:''Prevent the Curse'' had him gravely injured while defending Luna's crystal and Death becomes obliged to reclaim him for being undead. At his insistence, Death agrees not to claim him immediately, and joins the undead Randall to continue fighting a little longer. Death does reclaim him off-screen, but by then they already won the fight]].

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In the second game, Randall frees her soul from the monster wearing her face and Death reunites it with her body.]]

* TheDeterminator: In ''Cursed 2'', The Captain defied Luna's wishes by making sure not another human gets through him, [[JerkassHasAPoint noting that the last time he let one passed, they caused a lot of problems for the town above.]] Even when defeated, he still positioned himself between the player and the doorway, refusing their passage. [[spoiler:Too bad that he leaks the fact he's undead, and Death, the only entity who can reclaim him, happened to leave you a coin that summons Death himself......]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When Death is summoned, he asked him "what took you so long?" and is eager to be reclaimed by Death.]]

[[folder:Death]]
The Grim Reaper himself who surfaced in ''Cursed 2'' with the intent on tracking down the undead. He forged an alliance with Randall to track down the remaining bodies in return for a favor.

* PetTheDog: Despite being the keeper of Death, he will fulfill Randall's wishes, even the selfish choice if the player chooses that. He also repeatedly helps Jennifer in ''Cursed 3'' upon realizing something is wrong.

* TheStoic: Death's expressions rarely change, such as if provoked in ''Cursed 2'', or [[spoiler:[[NotSoStoic when Jennifer/Luna hugs him in ''Cursed 3''.]]]] [[spoiler:Or if he is given a clean rag]].

* SacrificialLamb: Regardless of your actions in ''Cursed 2'', she will always turn up dead; if Randall spares her, you'll both be apprehended by the Cult after speaking with her.

* TheDeterminator: No matter how the odds stack against him, he always puts up a fight, providing a challenge no matter how ill-equipped he may be. [[spoiler:Taken to a logical conclusion in ''Cursed 3'' where, even with his soul orb ripped out of his body to form the Staff of the Sun, he still returns with what little essence he has left to oppose Luna!]]

* LightIsNotGood: Malus' essence turns the Staff of the Moon into the Staff of the Sun, implying an affiliation with the sun and light, opposite to Luna's, not to mention his default form is a demonic variant of Living Lava. Given that Malus is the BigBad of the whole trilogy, he qualifies as this.

* ActionGirl: Utilizes a sword and shield, as well as a flamethrower and death's mini-scythe to her advantage.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:When Luna was mortally wounded, Death finds her missing her right arm and leg.]]

* GodIsGood: Gladly involves herself in the affairs of mortals for their own protection and prosperity.

The living dead that Death is actively hunting in ''Cursed 2''. Finding them and summoning Death to dispose of them all for good is a prerequisite for the game's GoldenEnding.

* GottaKillEmAll: Getting rid of every single last undead one of them makes Death grateful to Randall and is a requirement to obtain the game's GoldenEnding.
* KingMook: The strongest undead minions in Malus's army that aren't bosses. They even have their own battle music. [[spoiler:The Captain of the Guard is considered one as he is an undead guardian, which means he can't stop Death from reclaiming him.]]

* WhyWontYouDie: Lampshaded as they are living dead. If an inactive zombie is left alone for too long, they'll return and you must fight them again, unless you summon Death to remove them.

* OneHitKO: If you don't shoot Justin as soon as you find him hiding in the trees, he'll rush you with an Instant Death attack. Also happens if you didn't kill him and go to sleep. He will be waiting there when Jen wakes up...

[[folder:The Hero]]
The only person who is willing to travel into the mines to rescue Tim's daughter, Jennifer. He is noted by Tim to possess knowledge of the history over the mines, and the only one who has any sense to go down there. The third game in the series reveals his name as [[spoiler:Spencer Carrington, the patriarch of the family who bought the Lloyd family's old home to research the Lunar Civilization, as mentioned in ''Cursed 3'']].

* BadassBookworm: In ''Cursed 3'', he is revealed to be a researcher who grew so obsessed with the Lunar Civilization, he bought Tim's old family house and developed his equipment behind a lab. His interest in the mines is also why he volunteered for the search-and-rescue mission.

[[folder:Randall]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In ''Cursed 3'', her spirit is unable to pass on due to a crystal she obtained in life, and she is unable to give it up willingly, instead being forced into the form of a wraith to protect it.

* TheDeterminator: ''Cursed 3'' sees him return to Jennifer's aid with his hammer and shotgun in tow. In one ending, [[spoiler:''Prevent the Curse'' had him gravely injured while defending Luna's crystal and Death becomes obliged to reclaim him for being undead. At his insistence, Death agrees not to claim him immediately, and joins the undead Randall to continue fighting]].

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:''Cursed 3'' had him invoke a summoning ritual, then revealing afterward that the spell will cost him his own life. He did this to prevent Jennifer from talking him out of it.]]

* BadassLongcoat: Still wears it in the second and third game.

* TheDeterminator: ''Cursed 3'' sees him return to Jennifer's aid with his hammer and shotgun in tow. In one ending, [[spoiler:''Prevent the Curse'' had him gravely injured while defending Luna's crystal. He chose to become Undead so that he can continue buying Jennifer more time]].

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: He made sure to keep the one he found in ''Cursed 2'' in the follow-up chapter.

* NoNameGiven: Remained unnamed until ''Cursed 3''.

Also referred to as ''The Knight''. An undead soldier who is found in the mines. He challenges any human who comes forward with a sword and shield.

* TheDeterminator: In ''Cursed 2'', The Captain defied Luna's wishes by making sure not another human gets through him, [[JerkassHasAPoint noting that the last time he let one passed, they caused a lot of problems for the town above.]] Even when defeated, he still positioned himself between the player and the doorway, refusing their passage. [[spoiler:Too bad for him that he tells you he's undead, and you have a coin specifically for dealing with them...]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When Death is summoned, he asked him "what took you so long?" and allowed himself to be taken by him.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Does not hold back his disdain to your failures if you keep dying repeatedly.

* TheStoic: The only time his expression ever changes is if the player provokes Death, or [[spoiler:[[NotSoStoic when Jennifer/Luna hugs him.]]]]

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The player can choose to kill her in ''Cursed 2'' with no consequence.

* LightIsNotGood: Malus' essence turns the Staff of the Moon into the Staff of the Sun, implying an affiliation with the sun and light, opposite to Luna's, not to mention his default form is a demonic variant of Living Lava. Given that Malus is the BigBad of the whole trilogy, Malus qualifies as this.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Thanks to [[spoiler:Spencer]], she gains the chance of changing the outcome of the war between her and Malus. [[spoiler:Namely, she prevents it from ever happening by [[RetGone erasing the existence of the gods and demons]].]]

* KingMook: The strongest undead minions in Malus's army that aren't bosses. They even have their own battle music. [[spoiler:The Captain of the Guard is considered one as he is an undead guardian. Just like other zombies, he too is vulnerable to Death's coin once Randall bests him in combat twice.]]

* WhyWontYouDie: Lampshaded as they are living dead. However, if you leave a defeated (or discovered) zombie alone for too long and they will reassemble again to fight. The only way to truly get rid of one is using Death's coin and have him reap their undead souls for you.

* SoulJar: Jennifer's soul is within her [[spoiler: which Randall can free by using the Crucifix to reveal the soul and then using the Staff of the Moon to absorb it]].

---

* FetusTerrible: Pippy, a miscarried newborn that somehow was brought to life by a piece of the crystal. According to Shannon's Apocalyptic Log, it somehow killed and dismembered Justin.
* SpiderPeople: Shannon eventually becomes one, hiding out in the upper parts of the attic with her "one thousand children".

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Twice. [[spoiler: Bringing the Malus-possessed Jennifer back from the mines frees the BigBad from the mines and allows his demon and cultist minions to wreak havoc topside, leading to the second game. It also wasn't very smart of him to give his family the broken pieces of Luna's crystal he found in the ruins to each member [[ReforgedIntoAMinion which turned them all into monsters]] that Jennifer later has to fight in the third game.]]
