History Characters / FarscapeMainCharacters

* TheChick: Zhaan has pacifistic inclinations and is not always helpful during combat situations. She does subvert this fairly often though, as she will fight to protect the crew.

* HotScientist: To Aeryn's ActionGirl. Especially once outfitted in leather, and involving [[FemaleGaze a surprising amount]] of rear-angle camera shots.

* HotScientist: She's a skilled biologist and a MsFanservice.

* HotScientist: While her personality might be difficult, there's no denying Jool is pleasant to look at. And she is actually a scientist, having essentially been on spring break from college when the whole HumanPopsicle thing happened.

* HotScientist: Well-read and educated (if inexperienced), and quite aesthetically pleasing, especially when she [[LettingHerHairDown lets her hair down]] and takes off her bulky, hard jacket revealing the stringy, strappy top beneath.

* DitzyGenius: From the way he acts, you'd often forget he's actually a brilliant astrophysicist, AcePilot, and talented engineer.

* ShesGotLegs: And her outfits rarely, if ever, cover them.

** Film/{{Nosferatu}} and [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] for Scorpius, then Grasshopper after [[EnemyMime he joins Moya]] in Season 4.

** Film/{{Nosferatu}} and [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] for Scorpius.

** Grasshopper for Scorpius after [[EnemyMine he joins Moya]] in Season 4.

* TakeUpMySword: Posthumously tells Moya's Crichton not to trust Scorpius.

* ChangingYourselfForLove: Her black-leather-and-tattoos makeover for "The Peacekeeper Wars" looks an awful lot like her playing to Scorpius's fetishes. She explicitly considers herself in a submissive relationship with him; when she and Aeryn are discussing their relationships the idea of not having explicit "superior" and "inferior" partners confuses her.

* {{Expy}}: Averted. He's actually the only Peacekeeper ArcVillain who's ''not'' directly based on an antagonist from ''Series/BlakesSeven''.

* [[AccentRelapse Voice Relapse]]: His deep, snarling Scarren voice is only heard when he's either a) in extreme pain or b) absolutely enraged.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Crichton, for a ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment long, long time]]''.

* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: When she discovers she's pregnant towards the end of season three it's not immediately clear who the father is. Peacekeepr genetic modifications mean the embryo could have been in stasis since before the series began and she met Crichton. [[spoiler: She's eventually able to find a surgeon who can release the baby from stasis and genetically test it which confirms Crichton is in fact the father.]]

* OddFriendship: With Aeryn. She's the first member of the crew to really bond with him, even though their personalities are quite different. [[spoiler:It helps that a mad scientist infuses her with Pilot's DNA in an early episode.]]

* HotScientist: While her personality might be difficult, there's no denyig Jool is pleasant to look at. And she is actually a scientist, having essentially been on spring break from college when the whole HumanPopsicle thing happened.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: At the start of the series, the plan was that we would one day see him take back his throne from his traitorous cousin. However, after an episode with just one other Hynerian puppet caused endless problems, the crew realized they'd never be able to handle a whole planet of them. Luckily, this plot thread does get wrapped up in the comics, which had no such restrictions.

* SouthernFriedGenius: Born and raised in Florida and quite smart for a human. The hyper-intelligent version of him from "My Three Crichtons" takes the trope UpToEleven and speaks in a much heavier Texan drawl.

** One early episode revealed he’s well aware of how he can be TheMillstone, and is deeply insecure about it.
** He’s also surprisingly badass at times, such as when he spent a whole episode fending of a horde of Charrids with a turret.

* It says a ''lot'' about him that when [[spoiler: Aeryn]] was temporarily killed during the series 2 finale, he not only relinquished his medallion of office into [[spoiler: her]] casket, stating his belief that [[spoiler: she]] was far more worthy, but also is revealed to have been the one who swam down in freezing cold water to retrieve [[spoiler: her]] body. [[ManlyTears Dammit, Rygel!]]

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: When the show started, the production crew had trouble with the lighting and as a result, the makeup for D'Argo looked much paler, fleshier, and blander than it was supposed to. During the first season, he looks almost Twinkie-colored at times.

* ServileSnarker: Pilot's sworn to obey any order from the crew that doesn't endanger Moya. It doesn't mean that he can't make fun of the stupid ones.

-->'''Pilot''': "I don't get out much, so I read."

* OddOneOut: He's the only Peacekeeper ArcVillain who's not directly based on an antagonist from ''Series/BlakesSeven''.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Takes Zhaan's place as the ship's resident medic and mystic, though a significantly less reliable one.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Talyn!Crichton sacrifices himself to prevent the Scarrans from escaping with wormhole technology.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Amongst Talyn's crew, [[OnlySaneByComparison relatively speaking]].

* EvilSoundsDeep: Double-subverted. You would expect someone so otherwise stereotypically evil-looking to have a deep, growling voice, but his voice actually isn't low. Then it turns out that that's just an affectation he adopts to put other Peacekeepers at ease. His real voice (which is only heard when he's either really, really angry or in extreme pain) ''actually does'' sound like it rumbles up from the pits of Hell. HOWEVER, it isn't his "real" voice or an affection. When we see Young Scorpius he still spoke with his normal voice. The growling voice only seems to come out when he is angry or exerting himself.

* DeliveryGuy: She assists in Moya's delivery of Talyn despite having no idea how Leviathan biology works.
