-->'''Race:''' Human

* GiftedlyBad: Gunnie's reaction to just 10 seconds of her pretentious rambling is to ''ram the Wurst into the building'' to make it stop.

** They're also aquatic. Thus, if you take them out of water or remove their ability to use their  psychodrone, their abilities are very limited.

The author of "Bob Griivarr’s Simple Recipe for Happiness" who founded the Griivarr Worlds and is now its immortal Head of State as a disembodied A.I..
---

* AbusiveParents: Skip's father [[spoiler: intends to force him to participate in the Great Emhatchening--essentially an orgy that ends in death, so a horrific brain-slug combo of arranged marriage and human sacrifice--and threatens to murder the rest of the Gunner Channel in front of him to make him comply.]]

* ParasitesAreEvil: Averted. While the main reason that his taking over Norman is not challenged is the general amorality of the world of Starstruck and the fact that Norman did not endear himself to anyone, quite the opposite, Skip is not portrayed as evil.]]

* TookALevelInCynicism: When they meet other Aguatunisians being exploited by Uncle Bob's Fantanimaland, they show that they're much more aware of evil in the world, and incite them to start unionizing.

* GenreRefugee: She's a young entrepreneur who more suited for a corporate drama than a space opera. Even her character art depicts her in modern day business attire.

* UnfazedEveryman: Really stands out amongst a crew of off-kilter sci-fi characters by being a regular business woman, but behaves with the same familiarity to the colorful and bizarre world they live in. She even treats the ship being attacked as an annoying inconvenience.

* WalkingSpoiler: Beyond it’s capabilities as an intelligence, it’s hard to talk about anything given [[spoiler:it’s the second coming of Clippy.]]

[[folder: Galactic Girl Guides]]

* EnfantTerrible: Eight years old and they're already accomplished thieves, mercenaries, and majority shareholders in one of the biggest MLM schemes in the galaxy. Its also implied that they raided an alien weapons foundry in the ''center of a black hole''. They're entire organization holds this reputation as well.

* [[spoiler: Skip remains at Level 2, because he's very rusty at actually piloting a body, he's much more competent at being an operative than Norman.]]

-->'''Class:''' Scholar

* CombatParkour: He's very agile, and he uses that to his advantage in combat, either by

* DisabilitySuperpower: An [[Invoked|Trope]]. The reason he doesn't activate his pain receptors is that they allow him to be much more resilient in combat and to push his body past its limits, allowing him to move faster than a normal person with a jetpack on[[note]]With a bonus action and an action Dashes, he can cover 90 feet in a turn, while a jetpack-wearing person can only do 80 feet in a turn.[[/note]].

-->'''Race:''' Human [[spoiler:/ Cerebroslug]]

-->'''Race:''' Human [[spoiler:/ Cerebroslug]]

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: [[spoiler: Norman's body is invaded by a cerebroslug at the end of episode 1, who becomes Zac's "real" character.]]
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler: Skip's father, King Prilbus of the Mentaphagian Dynasty, is one of the primary enemies of the Gunner Channel, and the one with the most personal antagonism towards him.]]

* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: [[spoiler: Skip is still learning the ins and outs of operating a human mouth, so he has a difficult time forming sentences and has a limited repertoire. In cerebroslug language, he's far more coherent.]]

* HughMann: [[spoiler: The brain slug has no idea how to operate a human body. His first attempt at operating the body, he runs straight into a wall. The crew knows something's up immediately, but don't do anything because [[MeanBoss Skipper kind of sucked anyway.]]]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: The friendly, easy-going Skip is actually a ruthless royal with even less qualms about murder than the rest of the crew, and even threatens one of his subjects with wiping out their entire bloodline when they press him to return to the throne. He's also terrifyingly brutal when pressed; after killing Sheriff Codge with a blast to the throat that decapitates him, he mounts the guy's head on a cactus.]]

* ImprobableWeaponUser: He gets a pair of gun boots that only shoot downwards, no matter the direction at which they're angled, which he can use effectively due to his natural agility and his jetpack, [[spoiler: as he demonstrates with brutal efficiency on Sheriff Codge.]]

* MaintainTheLie: [[spoiler: "Skip" is so terrible at acting convincingly human (and shares the ship with a psychic who can detect his thoughts supplanting Norman's) that everyone has figured him out inside of an hour of him waking Norman's body up. Because Skip's so much easier to get along with than Norman, everyone else goes along with it and backs up his claim of being the Red Hot's captain, even supplying him with orders he supposedly gave them when Norman's old orders get in the way. The only one who has no idea is Skip himself, who honestly believes he's still undercover.]]

* NiceGuy: [[spoiler: In contrast to Skipper, "Skip" the brain slug is easy-going and fun to be around]]. The crew immediately take a liking to him [[spoiler: when he takes over Skipper's brain]].

* ParasitesAreEvil: [[spoiler: Averted. While the main reason that his taking over Norman is not challenged is the general amorality of the world of Starstruck and the fact that Norman did not endear himself to anyone, quite the opposite, Skip is not portrayed as evil.]]
* PuppeteerParasite: [[spoiler: The cerebroslug, Skip, that controls him, and Zac's actual PC.]]

* TheUnsmile: His customer service smile is barely worthy of the name. [[spoiler: Skip has a loose grasp on the mechanics of his new face, so while more genuine, his smiles somehow manage to be ''audible''.]]
* WhiteSheep: [[spoiler: Among the conquering slug-supremacists of the Mentaphagian Dynasty, Skip is an outlier who actually views other living beings as people and just wants to live his life. As stated by Brennan when Skip tries to have a conversation with Norm, he's the ''only'' royal cerebroslug who has ever given a damn about the person he's piloting.]]

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: [[spoiler: Skipper is invaded by a parasite at the end of episode 1, and seems to be being puppeted by it.]]

* TheChessmaster: What makes Lucienne so dangerous is her ability to get others to do her bidding and to plan around the constant chaos of the galaxy, like [[spoiler: tipping Margaret to the Guernica Art Squad's attack so she could keep Gnosis piu of their hands]] or [[spoiler: making an open alliance with Barry Nyne (actually King Prilbus to get Gnosis back for herself]].

* OnlySaneWoman: [[spoiler: Of the main antagonists, it seems. King Prilbus' plan is not only insane, but based on a fake deity made up by a science-fiction author, the Amercadians are chasing Norman because of a dumb mistake that one of their higguer-ups made, and UFTP execs plan on using the five quintillion credits they get for reaping the wills of the aristocratic cerebroslugs' hosts to buy Gnosis back from whoever gets it first, seemingly not realizing that their plan would mean the death of Gnosis.]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[spoiler: She's made it very clear that she doesn't like King Prilbus at all, and only works with him to get Gnosis.]]

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: They can't even fathom the idea of people wanting to hurt or deceive others for their own benefit.

* UndyingLoyalty: One of Barry's greatest qualities is his total devotion and loyalty. In episode 3, he swears to follow Margaret into Hell when she demonstrates herself to be a great leader, and when things start to go sour at the hotel [[spoiler: he protects Gunnie and tanks a tremendous amount of damage by jumping entire levels down Rec Station 97]].

* HiddenAgendaVillain: [[spoiler:She informed Margaret of Natalia Connie Lee Cicero Bajar's incoming attack, and she's seemingly interested in the Princeps and Gnosis despite the fact that Crown and Scepter and UFTP aren't, according to Gnosis themself, so while she's still the Gunner Channel's most dangerous foe, her true goal is still a mystery.]]

* TheUnfettered: Her most dangerous attribute is her complete devotion to get on top of the world's hierarchy.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: [[spoiler: Exactly what shit did he pull off when he snorted the Kublacaine bag and disappeared into stars is unknown, but neither Riva (a psychic) nor Gunnie and Sidney (two tech-casters) recognized this effect, meaning it might be neither of those]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Perhaps there could be a place in this galaxy for androids that have been discarded."'']]
-->'''Race:''' Android

An android spontaneously formed from discarded android parts who's made a mission for herself to revive droids from ended lines.

* TheAntiNihilist: She believes randomness to be the most powerful force in the universe and considers the randomness of her existence a mistake, but after Sidney shows her kindness she's never received, she comes to appreciate the randomness of her existence.
-->'''The Junkmother:''' I've never understood that any organism in the galaxy has ever been able to change what it wanted by examining what it wanted. Perhaps a fruitless endeavor. But I do very much like myself more, because if what you are saying is true, and I see no reason that it is not, then yes. What is the difference between me and another that was produced some other way? We all find ourselves produced here, and even to be designed, like you are, is, in some way, just another accident. And there's some comfort in that.
* CharacterTics: She often clicks her claws together when in thought.
* MechanicalMonster: She's a 20 foot tall robot with absurdly long, completely mechanical arms with long sharp claws, a plumage made of garbage bags, and a classically rendered doll's face.
* ReligiousRobot: She has reflected on android souls and the metaphysical laws of the universe in length, if her dialogue about randomness and her insight into the role of Keeper of Souls is any indication.
* TragicRobot: She has spent her life alone, treated like a threat by the rest of Hon Oberr, trying to keep the memory of the Discarded alone all by herself, to the point that she has no notion of "offering a present".
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: When Sidney offers her to give her the broken midcaps of Servo Sam, she shrieks in surprise, and later she pronounces the word "sharing" like it's an alien and strange word.

[[caption-width-right:223:''"Norm, you're a good man and a good friend."'']]

One of the top-brass of the Americadian Brigade with links to the mystery surrounding Norman Takamori.

* FauxAffablyEvil: As he's drinking and having a pleasant discussion with Skip, Riva detects in his thoughts contempt for Norman and [[spoiler: worries that something is wearing off]].
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: He got an entire promotion of cadets killed with his unsafe, overly expensive wine and blamed it all on UFTP, getting another dozens of people executed for his crimes, but thanks to the resources he had and pure dumb luck, he had Norman to help him hide the bodies and could pay for a cybernetic company to put a craniobolt in his head so he couldn't snitch on him. Thus, his career remained flawless, and his vine is now 33% more expensive than before.]]
* LethallyStupid: [[spoiler: It takes a special kind of moron to put rat poison that makes heads explode on the soil of the vineyard you use to make champagne and to think it won't contaminate the final product.]]
* {{Nepotism}}: The Weatherall family is very influential in the Brigade, and considering his lack of competence in [[spoiler: apprehending Skip]], it's fair to say he has not earned his position.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: As soon as he thought Norman's removed memory was coming back,]] he sent Americadian troops after the Gunner Channel.

Once a member of the Barry Battalion, he killed every one of them except Barry Syx, and now spends his time proldiering around the galaxy.

* DidTheyOrDidntThey: She checked into hotel rooms with Margaret under pseudonyms, Margaret seems jealous of her fiancee, and the tension between them in their argument is oddly reminiscent of a bad break-up. In addition, nearly everyone in the cast adds a thick layer of irony in their voice when they call them "good friends".

* TrappedInVillainy: Her actions are ultimately revealed to be fueled by [[spoiler:desperation. She was left hung out to dry when Natalia faked her death and every move she's made since has been an attempt to keep the bureaucracy of Crown and Scepter from crashing down on her.]]

* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler: King Prilbus’ plan for The Great Emhatchening is as follows: have every member and loyalist of the Metaphagian Dynasty burrow into the center of Rubian V and fuse into a giant cerebroslug via death orgy, fly FTL straight into the center of the galaxy to hit the “Mother Void” (a character made up by an in-universe sci-fi writer and who he has mistaken a '''''black hole''''' for), eat her brain, and use her cosmic body to control the universe.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Why do you want to walk outta here with half a ship when you could have a whole ship?"'']]
-->'''Race:''' Human
-->'''Class:''' Scout

A tough and seasoned proldier, as well as our crew's personal nemesis.

* ArchEnemy: With the Gunner Channel, though the relationship is pretty unilateral. She wants her revenge for having tricked her into letting them go by surrendering powdered egg substitutes instead of the Borinyum Krystals they stole. Meanwhile, most of the crew treats her as a work enemy at best.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Her conversation with Margaret after the Wurst enters [=U4F=] is laden with threats from her, snark from Margaret, and sexual tension on both sides.
--->'''Jan de la Vega:''' I tell you this, you better stay fresh with them dues Encino, because the first time you miss a payment, I'mma be on your ass, like green on a pond, sister.\\
'''Margaret:''' People pay money for an app that will remind them like that and you're telling me you're gonna do it for free? One less thing off my plate, thank you so much, Jan. I love you too.\\
'''Jan de la Vega:''' I'll give you a little kiss on the mouth.\\
'''Margaret:''' ''(out of character)'' I'm like kinda turned on. ''(in character)'' Okay, well bye.
* ContraltoOfDanger: She constantly speaks in a low growl, and she's a fierce opponent.
* HandicappedBadass: Wheelchair-bound, and can kick plenty of ass on her own.
* PunchClockVillain: She's not that different from the Gunner Channel in terms of morality (though she is far more petty), but because of the way [=AnarchEra=] tends to work out, she's against them because of both of their work.
* SpacePirates: As a proldier, her job is a mix of pirate and mercenary.
* StarterVillain: Played with. She's undeniably the toughest adversary the protagonists have truly faced, but unlike the rest of the antagonists of the season, her resources are pretty limited as the captain of a lone proldier ship and she's not truly malevolent, which is why she's one of the first antagonists the crew has dealt with.

* YouHaveFailedMe: [[{{Downplayed|Trope}}]]. He's seen viciously kicking the shit out of Hogg Cobb on camera after the latter failed to capture [[spoiler: Princeps Zortch]] and got his jetpack stolen.

* BigBad: She's the closest thing the story has to one. She's the most dangerous antagonist due to her cunning and charisma, which also makes her the one with the longest reach, and she plays a huge part in the Gunner Channel's struggle to stop Gnosis from being misused by greedy corporations. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted, as it turns out she's in just as much trouble as the Gunner channel. She was left hung out to dry when Natalia faked her death and every move she's made since has been an attempt to keep the bureaucracy of Crown and Scepter from crashing down on her.]]
