Back in the Milky Way, the Artificer was a high school computer science teacher; her students loved her, but knew not to cross her. In the evenings, she trained students at the same kenpo dojo where she received her 4th-degree black belt. She's the embodiment of tough love. Nothing fazes her. Not even aliens with guns.

The Scrapper is one of two batarians who provided evidence against the leader of their former pirate gang. When Alliance protection services failed, the batarians negotiated an asylum deal with the Initiative.
The salarians granted the batarians cryo pods on Ark Paarchero to gain potential security assets. Happy to abandon pirate life, the Scrapper is starting to enjoy fighting for a greater purpose. Added to the game via the 1.09 patch.

[[folder:Human Soldier]]
!!Human Soldier
The male human Soldier worked in the Alliance before joining the Initiative. He likes the idea of helping establish life in a new world, and he wants to do it in the way he thinks is noble and right.
The female human Soldier worked private security in the Terminus Systems, but left to find adventure in Andromeda. She likes hetting to know her new APEX colleagues and working with them to get the job done well.
----
* ActionGirl: The female Soldier.
* TheBigGuy: The male Soldier is larger than the other human characters, except for the Vanguard.
* BoringButPractical: The Soldier is pretty much your typical shooter/tank and possesses no tech or biotic powers but has a very low learning curve when playing as them.
* CallToAdventure: Both Soldiers felt the call toward journeying to Andromeda in search of adventure.
* HiredGuns: The female Soldier, who worked private security in the Terminus Systems. Of course, the term "private security" in the Terminus more or less translates to ''mercenary''.

[[folder:Human Adept]]
!!Human Adept
The male human Adept doesn't really talk about why he joined the Initiative; in fact, he doesn't talk much at all. Given the quiet intensity with which he rips through enemies, none of his teammates are rushing to ask about his past.
The female human Adept doesn't care about the romance of settling a new galaxy. What she sees here is a power vacuum--and she's damn well going to fill it.
----
* CallToAdventure: Averted at least with the female Adept; she doesn't particularly buy into that kind of thing.
* CombinationAttack: A lot of an Adept's damage comes from being able to prime the enemy with one biotic power (in this case, either Pull or Singularity) and detonate the power with Shockwave.
* DarkActionGirl: The female Adept.
* GravityMaster: With the Pull and Singularity powers.
* MindOverMatter: Per their biotic powers.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The female Adept, who looks what's going on in Andromeda and sees an opportunity to advance herself.

!!Human Engineer
The male human Engineer was always good at science, but he knows he's got what it takes to be a leader--leaders should be the smart people, after all. He'll be a Pathfinder some day, just wait and see.
Exuberant and enthusiatic, the female human Engineer loves using creative tech to blow things up. If it does the job and makes a spectacular explosion doing so, that's the best of both worlds.
----
* AttackDrone: The Assault Turret power lays down a stationary version of this.
* TheEngineer: Duh!
* FireIceLightning: A Flamethrower-equipped Assault Turret (fire), Cryo Beam (ice) and Overload (lightning).
* KillItWithFire: If the Assault Turret is equipped with a Flamethrower.
* KillItWithIce: The Engineer comes equipped with the Cryo Beam power. In addition, the Assault Turret can be equipped with Cryo Ammo.
* StuffBlowingUp: What the female Engineer lives for, though interestingly [[GameplayAndStorySegregation she does not possess any powers that are explosive based]].
* ShockAndAwe: The Engineer comes equipped with the Overload power.
* TheSmartGuy: The male Engineer is this, and he thinks that this should make him the leader.

[[folder:Human Infiltrator]]
!!Human Infiltrator
One of the younger team members, the male human Infiltrator is more thrill-seeker than hardened combatant. His natural abilities make him effective, and his reckless nature can work both for and against him.
After losing her husband and child in a botched robbery back in the Milky Way, the female human Infiltrator came to Andromeda for a fresh start. She joined APEX to do some good--and to work through some anger and sadness.
----
* CrusadingWidow: The female Infiltrator, who lost her husband and child in a botched robbery.
* ColdSniper[=/=]FriendlySniper: If equipped with sniper rifles, the female and male Infiltrator are this respectively, based on their backstories.

* InvisibilityCloak: Tactical Cloak.

[[folder:Human Sentinel]]
!!Human Sentinel
The male human Sentinel is a seasoned professional; he's been there and done that. Nothing surprises him, even in a brand new galaxy.
Excited to seek adventure, this is the female human Sentinel's first time testing her combat skills in a real-life situation. She's very skilled, and what she lacks in experience, she makes up for in enthusiasm.
----
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: With the trusty Throw power, naturally.
* ConsummateProfessional: The male Sentinel.
* HomingProjectile: Throw and Energy Drain can track enemies.
* InstantArmor: The Sentinel's defensive passive skill is Tech Armor, which absorbs a portion of all damage received.
* JackOfAllStats: The Sentinel comes equipped with Barricade (combat), Throw (biotic) and Energy Drain (tech).
* LifeDrain: Kind of. Energy Drain can be used to recharge the Sentinel's shields. Note that an enemy's ''shields'' are not required; it works on armor and even health.
* NewMeat: The female Sentinel is one of APEX's least experienced operatives, though according to her backstory she makes up for it with enthusiasm.
* ShockAndAwe: Energy Drain.
* TakeCover: The Barricade power deploys a temporary energy barricade (similar in function to Tech Armor) that will protect anyone who take cover behind it and even boost shield regeneration.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Human Vanguard]]
!!Human Vanguard
The male human Vanguard is a talented Alliance veteran who hopes he can relive his glory days in Andromeda. He often gives advice to the younger members of the team and loves to say, "I told you so".
The female human Vanguard was a respected leader within the Alliance, so Initiative leaders recruited her to organize and establish security organizations in Andromeda. APEX is more than the "segue to eventual retirement" she'd anticipated, but she's good at her job and respected by the team.
----
* BarrierWarrior: A passive example, as the Vanguard possesses Barrier as a defensive skill.
* CastFromHitPoints: A Shield-Powered Nova drains the Vanguard's shields, the pay-off being that the power no longer has a recharge time.
* CatchPhrase: The male Vanguard: "I told you so."
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Vanguards are traditionally built around these.
* DifficultButAwesome: Vanguards are this by tradition. On lower difficulties the Vanguard is a biotic powerhouse but it's when missions get tougher when it becomes more difficult to play as one.
* FoeTossingCharge: Biotic Charge.
* GloryDays: What the male Vangaurd hopes to see again with APEX.
* GroundPound: Nova.
* TheLeader: The female Vanguard was this during her time with the Alliance.
* LeeroyJenkins: Can very easily be this thanks to their Biotic Charge.
* MagicKnight: Vanguards are the happy medium between the Soldier and the Adept, combining a Soldier's resilience with an Adept's biotic power.
* OldSoldier: Both Vanguards are seasoned veterans with the Alliance, though the male Vanguard hopes to relive his glory days whereas the female Vanguard expects to retire at some point.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Human Kineticist]]
!!Human Kineticist
A scientist through and through, the Human Kineticist can’t wait to test her theories in real-life settings. She gets a bit annoyed if something disrupts her experiments.
----
* BadassBookworm: A kineticist is a scientist that studies kinetic forces, and can use it in battle.
* BattleAura: In Ascension Mode, she is surrounded by biotic energy.
* CastFromHitpoints: Ascension allows her abilities to be cast from shields and bypass a {{Cooldown}}. This forces a player to tread carefully.
* DePower: Losing all of her shields will end Ascension Mode, making her pretty much like any other biotic.
* PowerFloats: She floats off the ground as Ascension activates.
* PowerGlows: She has glows with her biotic BattleAura while Ascension is active.
* StuffBlowingUp: A kineticist's main attribute is being able to spam biotic attacks while Ascended, letting them set off biotic explosion after biotic explosion.
* SuperMode: Ascension Mode, which grants the kineticist no cooldown ([[CastFromHitPoints at the cost of shields]]), greater damage output, and other benefits.
* TronLines: Her armor appears to be similar to the Heleus Defender line in the main game, which has these.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Asari Adept]]
!!Asari Adept
The asari Adept has seen combat before and looks out for the younger members of the team. She enjoys crowd control, and enjoys the sense of satisfaction when the team works well together.
----
* BarrierWarrior: A passive example, as like with the Vanguard, the asari Adept possesses Barrier as a defensive skill.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Possesses the Throw power.
* BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe: As an asari she is this automatically but the asari Adept is particularly attractive.
* CaptainPatriotic: Has the emblem of the Asari Republics painted on her armor.
* CastFromHitPoints: A Shield-Powered Lance drains the asari Adept's shields, the pay-off being that the power no longer has a recharge time.
* CombinationAttack: Par for the course with Adepts of most races, in this case with Annihilation to prime and either Throw or Lance to detonate.
* GradualGrinder: With the Annihilation power, which slowly damages affected enemies.
* TeamMom: Implied based on her backstory.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Asari Sentinel]]
!!Asari Sentinel

[[/folder]]

In the Milky Way, she was a well-regarded bounty hunter until she took the wrong job and found herself on the most-wanted list. She joined the Andromeda Initiative to escape her enemies and begin the hunt anew.
----
* ActionGirl: Her class name is Huntress, which suggests that she used to be an asari Commando.
* BarrierWarrior: A passive one, with Barrier as her defensive passive skill.

!!Asari Duelist
The asari Duelist is a former Justicar who keeps her distance from the other team members, and harbors doubts about whether she made the right choice in coming to a new galaxy.

* TheAloner: The Duelist prefers to keep her distance from other team members, according to her backstory.
* BarrierWarrior: The Duelist possesses Backlash as one of her biotic powers, which generates a biotic shield which protects against enemy fire. She also has Barrier as her defensive passive skill.

* FoeTossingCharge: That would be Biotic Charge for you.
* LadyOfWar: Both her backstory and playstyle help portray this image for the Duelist.
* LightningBruiser: With her Biotic Charge and a sword attack which serves as a sort of "lesser" form of said Charge.
* MagicKnight: Biotic powers and the Justicars' nature as a warrior order makes the Duelist a literal form of this. The biotically enhanced sword sort of helps with the image, too.
** "Magic" sword and "magic" shield--how does that ''not'' invoke this trope?
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She has come to regret leaving her life in the Milky Way and coming to Andromeda with the rest of the Initiative.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of the Outlaw Pariah, not only in appearance but they also both use the Backlash power in combat.
* WarriorMonk: As suggested by her background as a former Justicar.
[[/folder]]

To avoid a court martial for his role in a massacre, the turian Soldier went on the lam and worked as a mercenary until he was able to buy his way into the Initiative.
----
* CourtMartial: The turian Soldier got out of one of these by laying low and becoming a mercenary.
* DangerousDeserter: His going on the lam to escape his court martial for his crimes makes him this. It's also implied in his backstory that he joined the Andromeda Initiative because of this.

* HiredGuns: Worked as a mercenary before signing up with the Andromeda Initiative.
* MightyGlacier: The turian Soldier's Fortify power improves damage resistance at the cost of restricted mobility.
* MoreDakka: Like the human Soldiers the turian Soldier has Turbocharge.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Frag Grenade.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Turian Havoc Trooper]]
!!Turian Havoc Trooper
The turian Havoc Trooper is a bit more...boisterous than the average turian soldier. She's very good at what she does, and enjoys it a little too much to be cold and professional about it.
----
* BoisterousBruiser: Is this according to her backstory.
* FacialMarkings: Per turian culture.
* JetPack: Trained with the 26th Armiger Legion, like her Mass Effect 3 predecessor.
* KillItWithFire: With the Incinerate power, naturally. Interestingly, her predecessor from Mass Effect 3 had the [[KillItWithIce Cryo Blast]] power.

* CloakAndDagger: Left the STG because he found the organization's tendency toward this very tiresome.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Salarian Operator]]
!!Salarian Operator
Badgered into volunteering for the Initiative by his father, he isn't sure why the APEX people believe he can actually help them. He would rather work on tech at an outpost site. But if he's here, he's going to try to make the best of it.
----
* GradualGrinder: The Invasion power, which infects enemies with a machine swarm that weakens defenses and spreads itself itself to nearby enemies. This is a Debuffer power if there ever was one.
* TheMedic: With the Shield Boost power, the Operator can restore the shields of himself and his allies. If ranked up appropriately, Shield Boost is also able to "overcharge" shields, increasing their maximum capacity by 100% for a brief amount of time.
* NonActionGuy: Implied, based on the circumstances of his joining APEX (mainly so his father can shut up about it) and his preference to stay behind the front line and work at an outpost somewhere.
* ResignedToTheCall: The only reason he is a member of APEX at all is because his father bugged him into volunteering. If he had any say at all he would rather spend his time working at an outpost.

[[folder:Krogan Engineer]]

This is great! Who knew all those science lessons she had to take would be so handy? If only she could brag to her friends back home about her cool new team and how much fun fighting these little kett guys is.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Just look at her backstory.
* BloodKnight: A somewhat childishly innocent version of this, if "fighting those little kett guys is fun" is anything to go by.
* TheBigGuy: Well...big ''girl'', actually, but being a krogan makes her this.
* HomingProjectile: Incinerate and Overload both track enemies.
* KillItWithFire: Incinerate.
* ShockAndAwe: She has the Overload power.

[[folder:Angara Insurgent]]
!!Angara Insurgent

* LandMineGoesClick: Averted with Trip Mine.
* LaserHallway: A room or passage filled with trip mines will resemble one.

* TheResistance: Is a part of the Angara Resistance.

* FacialMarkings: Per turian culture.
* JetPack: Trained with the 26th Armiger Legion, like her Mass Effect 3 predecessor.

* CloakAndDagger: Left the STG because he found the organization's tendency toward this very tiresome.

[[folder:Salarian Operator]]
!!Salarian Operator
Badgered into volunteering for the Initiative by his father, he isn't sure why the APEX people believe he can actually help them. He would rather work on tech at an outpost site. But if he's here, he's going to try to make the best of it.
----
* GradualGrinder: The Invasion power, which infects enemies with a machine swarm that weakens defenses and spreads itself itself to nearby enemies. This is a Debuffer power if there ever was one.

* KillItWithFire: Incinerate.

[[folder:Angara Insurgent]]

* LandMineGoesClick: Averted with Trip Mine.
