History Characters / DaemonXMachina

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: He was not made the leader of Bullet Works without reason, and his position more than demonstrates just how powerful the man is.

Work In Progress

* DropTheHammer: His arsenal is equipped with the Vargr Greed, a massive mace.

* AllThereInTheManual: According to his official biography released after the game launch, Nameless was a {{Salaryman}} working under a CorruptCorporateExecutive who threw him under the bus for his own embezzlement. Nameless accepted these false accusations without complaint, but then the CEO took things one step too far to shut him up [[StuffedInAFridge and had his wife murdered]] to intimidate him into silence. What followed was a RoaringRampageOfRage in classic revenge kung fu flick style as Nameless killed his way to his old boss with nothing but his bare hands and finally tore him apart before turning himself into the authorities.

* CombatMedic: One of two recruitable Outers that is equipped with a healing shoulder weapon, which you ''will'' appreciate when facing the [[BonusBoss Co-Op exclusive bosses]].

* BonusBoss: Aviator is unlocked as the final Free Mission in Class A, and only ''after'' you defeat the Dominator. It feels very much like a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere all things considered.

* BonusBoss: Is only available to fight in the multiplayer missions.

* BonusBoss: It can only be fought in the Co-op Missions.

* StatusEffects: Has access to all of them. It's giant lasers inflict [[ManOnFire Burn]], its melee swings inflict [[AcidAttack Acid]], its roar attack will stun, and its missiles will inflict a guaranteed knockdown in 2 hits.

** [[spoiler:In modern terms, a "daemon is a type of program that runs in the background unhindered and outside the control of a user and is activated when certain conditions have been met or a certain event has occurred. While Grief designed the Rookie to be a major instrument in his plans to have humanity evolve, they don't necessarily have to follow his plans]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He was not made the leader of Bullet Works without reason, and his position more than demonstrates just how powerful the man is.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Implied by their callsigns, which are derived from positions of royalty. And they're all experienced pilots.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: One seemingly simple Rank A free mission has you scanning shards of orbital debris. After you have scanned 3, however, Four warns you of an approaching enemy. That enemy is Gunfort, and once it shows up destroying it becomes the primary mission objective.

* SwordPlant: The Multiplayer version gains a new attack where it stabs the ground, causing a wide area shockwave that will heavily damage Arsenals within range.

* BreakTheHaughty: By the end of the game. [[spoiler: Being the last surviving consortium has broken them to the point that they admit their arrogance in thinking they could control Grief and say that the Rookie and the Reclaimers ''are'' Earth's only hope.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: After Zen and Sky Union are destroyed by Grief and the Immortals, they're the only ones left standing.]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: When it comes time for them to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere pull up stakes and evacuate]], it it clear even ''they'' don't have much faith in their shuttles escaping, but [[HeroicSacrifice go through with it anyways]] if only to buy time for the civilian shuttles to escape, and wish the Rookie the best in their final message. Horizon reveals later that none of the shuttles, civilian or consortium, managed to escape.]]
