History Characters / DaemonXMachina

* ArmsMerchant: They are the primary suppliers of Arsenal parts and weaponry. However, there are strict guidelines against developing weaponry to be sold and used ''outside'' of the Oval Link. [[spoiler:All three corporations break those rules at some point.]]

!Arms of Immortals

The primary antagonists of the story. Originally designed with the purpose of helping the revival of humankind, their exposure to Femto led to them viewing all of humanity as enemies and seek to wipe out all of mankind.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Not entirely their own fault, but once they were exposed to Femto, they decided that humanity wasn't worth saving and should be wiped out instead. Later on it turns out [[spoiler:that they didn't so much go haywire as decide on their own that the Dominator was too dangerous to let even a single human make contact with it, leading them to enact a ZerothLawRebellion.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: When an immortal is finaly captured to be examined it's found that they have a ''very'' different thought process to humans, notably [[spoiler: Guns Empress notes that her ZerothLawRebellion interpretation is a rather charitable interpretation of their motives.]]
* TheCorruptor: The Immortals can infect any AI they come into contact with, causing them to go rogue.
* {{Irony}}: They're artificial intelligence which were created by humans [[spoiler:who were in turn, created by the Dominator, a much more powerful artificial intelligence.]]

!!Major Immortals

[[folder:Solomon]]
A black Arsenal that begins to appear shortly after the Rookie becomes a C-Rank mercenary with Oval. Its existence is shrouded in mystery and is notorious among those who've heard or encountered it.

The PlayerCharacter. They begin the story as a relatively new mercenary who joins the ranks of the Reclaimers, quickly becoming involved with many different groups and learning about their motivations while combating the Immortals and rogue AI.

* AlmightyJanitor: The Rookie's skills and their meteoritic rise in the ranks of the Reclaimers make a lot more sense when Grief explains that [[spoiler:they're pretty much an artificial member of the Terrors, the mightiest of the Outer teams, who he made to act as a spare scion for the Dominator]].

* NewMeat: They are the newest member of the Reclaimers, so they naturally fit the bit. Once they climb the ranks, however, this fades and eventually reaches to the point where almost every faction respects and admires the Rookie, including [[BoxedCrook Western VII]].

* RookieRedRanger: Part of their nickname, since they just joined Oval. That being said, they quickly master their Arsenal and become one of humanity's best in the battle against the Immortals.

* ButtMonkey

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Despite acting petulant and hostile toward Crimson Lord, it becomes quite clear that Diablo greatly respects him before he defects to Grief. He is shaken when Crimson Lord reveals his rather selfish motives for doing so.]]

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: After growing tired of how much has been sacrificed for Savior's cause, she proudly and happily signs up with Grief and is unrepentant to her death.]]

* NobleDemon: Orbital arranges a mission for you solely, where you are to come unarmed and alone. [[SubvertedTrope It is not a trap.]] Grief wants to talk with you, and if you comply with the mission request [[spoiler: [[MotiveRant he will explain the entirety of his plan]] and leave without a fight. He genuinely wants you on his side]]. Suspect it of being an ambush and come armed, and [[spoiler: [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech you'll get a different kind of speech]] and the [=3v1=] fight of your life]].

* OddOneOut: They're the only faction that doesn't have its own theme song.

* TheAce: Though a greenhorn when compared to the older Reclaimers, it becomes apparent that the Rookie is a natural when piloting their Arsenal. Early on, when combating two members of Western VII, they quickly master the abilities of the Mirage function, despite having never used it prior to that point. At one point, it becomes clear that the Rookie is one of the best Reclaimers at Oval's disposal.

* BodyHorror: Some of the modifications done to their body as part of the upgrade system can be rather unsettling. Minor examples, such as getting an upgrade that helps you lock-on to your targets better, makes you develop glowing eyes with black sclera. More extreme examples, such as getting a blade for when you're outside of your Arsenal or getting a double jump, has you replace your arm and legs with ''prosthetic limbs''.
* TheBigGuy: Usually the heaviest hitter in each mission by virtue of being the player, but not the shot caller, that title goes to the Reclaimer faction leaders, consortiums, and Orbital. [[spoiler: Once the Oval Link, consortiums, and Reclaimers are shattered, you become this directly in Brigadier General's new FiveManBand]].

* RedBlackAndEvilAllOver: Their default outfit is a drab dark grey and orange suit that is stylised as a red and black one in promotional materials, hinting at their connection to [[spoiler:the Terrors]].

[[folder:The Rookie]]

* XanatosGambit: His purported plans to [[spoiler:cause a second Moonfall and awake the Dominator are all smokescreens to his perceived "destined" endgame of simply disabling the Oval Link shields to flood the world with Femto.]]

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[spoiler: None of them fall into Grief's sway.]]

* WildCard: Initially she and Panzer Crown operate only for themselves. [[spoiler: When Grief is putting his plan into action, Guns Empress is the one that downloads the data from Orbital's systems that he needs. What Grief didn't plan on, though, is Guns Empress downloading literally everything else and becoming the Reclaimers' KnowledgeBroker.]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoler:Averted. She's more human-like and moral than Four, the other AI character in the story, which is fitting since she's an AI in a human body.]]

* WildCard: Initially she and Panzer Crown operate only for themselves. [[spoiler: When Grief is putting his plan into action, Guns Empress is the one that downloads the data from Orbital's systems that he needs. What Grief didn't plan on, though, is Guns Empress downloading literally everything else and becoming the Reclaimers KnowledgeBroker.]]

* PlayfulHacker: A pleasant individual, and very talented at getting into secure systems.

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: Sides with Grief, solidifying his traitor status by killing Drake]].

* {{Yandere}}

* [[spoiler: AIIsACrapshoot: Averted. She's more human-like and moral than Four, the other AI character in the story, which is fitting since she's an AI in a human body.]]
* [[spoiler: BecomeARealBoy: This happened to her in the past, and she's trying to figure out what it means to be human.]]

* [[spoiler: BigBad: He's behind everything. The foundation of Orbital and the Oval Link, the chaotic missions with mutually exclusive objectives that put Reclaimers at each others throats, all to forcibly push humanity towards the future.]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: Not entirely their own fault, but once they were exposed to Femto, they decided that humanity wasn't worth saving and should be wiped out instead.
** Later on it turns out [[spoiler: that they didn't so much go haywire as decide on their own that the Dominator was too dangerous to let even a single human make contact with it, leading them to enact a ZerothLawRebellion.]]

* RespawnPoint: [[spoiler:Whenever they are killed in battle, they are [[RessurrectiveImmortality revived]] at the Ouroboros Tower. They later lose access to this when Notes and Chill destroy the facility in order to convince Rigid to stand down from her FaceHeelTurn.]]

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: He's planned out almost everything and once his plan goes into action he operates with incredible efficiency. Even the Immortals, who's entire goal is to [[GoodAllAlong stop]] [[BlueAndOrangeMorality him]], are barely a roadblock. Too bad about [[SpannerInTheWorks Guns Empress]] and [[TheCape Brigadier General]] though.]]

* PowerTattoo: Each of them have half of a symbol from their parents' research tattooed to them that, unbeknownst to them, [[spoiler: are two halves of an encryption key for the Orbital databses. Guns Empress uses these tattoos to validate the story behind their parents' deaths.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He wishes to guide humanity to its next step in progress, expanding out into the stars.]]
