History Characters / OfSheepAndBattleChicken

* DropTheHammer: His preferred melee weapon is a mass effect-enhanced hammer named ''God-Splitter''. He killed the last Krogan Emperor with it and continues to use it in modern times. [[spoiler:Shepard claims it after killing him.]]

* TheCorruptor: WordOfGod says Okeer's greatest failing was that when he went out into the greater galaxy, he spent too much time with the SIX and Thirty. Before that, he'd been considering the idea that his brutality and uncompromising nature was a mistake, and maybe he should bury the hatchet with the Urdnot and Thax...

* CassandraTruth: One of theim, Ekkho, did realise that opening up Eternity Gate may lead to catastrophe, and there is AlwaysABiggerFish. Guess what happened?
* ComesGreatResponsibility: According to the Catalyst they didn't experience compassion in the way that most species do, but surprisingly they did feel a certain obligation to use their powers in constructive ways.

* GodOfGood: They come here to stop destruction of their universe, helped Shepard to beat Reapers once connection was established, and warned about Outsider before fleeing.

* CosmicHorrorReveal: Does this after the story has already entered cosmic horror territory.

* GodIsEvil: A fair assessment of what the Outsider is and implies. It created eezo, dark matter and energy, and inject them into multiple dimensions, and it uses them to invade and consume entire realities. Subverted, according to WordOfGod; while the Outsider does eat and destroy realities, it feeds on realities that use universe-killing method of Godpower, thus seeing itself as necessary evil.

* {{Sadist}}: {{Word of God}} says the Outsider is not just a natural force or predator, but a malicious being who purposely destroys sapient lives.

* AnArmAndALeg: Twice. [[spoiler:Loses a leg to Saren, and then an arm to Tetriums.]]

* TheButcher: The one and only. What happened on Torfan was so crazy that just about every human and batarian knows about it, as well as a good portion of other races. The very first chapter of OSABC opens with Shepard gleefully setting up an opportunity to fire a [[GreyGoo black nano]]-tipped missile at a slaver ship because she hadn't had another chance to use it.

* AnArmAndALeg: Twice.
** [[spoiler:Loses a leg to Saren, and then an arm to Tetriums.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Offered partially in universe.

* VeteranInstructor: All Alliance flag officers, N-rates, and X-rates go through him at one point or another. His ideas on good training are somewhat ''intense'' but undeniably useful: Even a post-[=ME1=] Shepard improves so much under a few weeks of his program that she ends up embarrassed at how easy it is for her to beat a simulation of her pre-training self.

** CulturedWarrior: [[spoiler: Was a Ganar Loresinger]].

* GeniusBruiser: Okeer is very intelligent (IQ of ''192'') and is a dangerous combatant who slew the Queen Matriarch of the Rachni. In his STG Report it is recommended for STG agents to just shoot themselves instead of fighting him.
** He wrote the official history of krogan race and is the founder of krogan medicine.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After witnessing Archangel and the Butcher's destructive escape which destroys most of her enemies, [[spoiler: she breaks down giggling like a little girl which shocks and disturbs her underlings.]]
** [[spoiler:Later, when she recieves a message from Matriarch Trellani, she doesn't even bother hiding her distress.]]

* ForeignCultureFetish: Inspiring this is the method by which the asari intend to conquer others, turning the actual minds of other species towards asari values and interests instead of any economic or military dominion despite the asari's power in those areas.
** This ended up getting reversed on the asari without even being intended once humanity was contacted, as the human race's great similarities to asari have drawn many into the loyal fold of the Systems Alliance, to the chagrin of the Thirty.

* ImpracticalMusicalInstrumentSkills: ''All'' batarians, without exception, are born musicians. One is noted as picking up a human guitar for the first time and being able to play on a professional level within five minutes. Batarian music follows similar conventions to human ones and is famed among all species who enjoy music, [[spoiler:which the SIU uses to insert trojans and spyware in other networks.]]

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: WordOfGod says that the Reapers are filled with hubris compared to the Catalyst or the Leviathans, and that their plans to defeat the Darkness will never succeed.]]
** [[spoiler: Technically, their plan is sound, a sufficient concentration of Godpower users can send the Darkness into the Below, which is why the Catalyst made the Reapers in the first place. The problem is: 1) they need the Catalyst to focus everyone properly, 2) the Catalyst was designed by [[TheChessmaster Lethath]] and programmed by [[AxCrazy Kidun]] and finally, well...]]

* EldritchAbomination: Completely beyond what normal beings are, able to freely ignore the laws of physics from our dimension. The Ascended once threw a black hole at it, which did about as much damage as a papercut.
** WordOfGod states that it is a gestalt of thousand races and their gods destroyed by Godpower ripples.

* EldritchAbomination: To the ''Darkness''. To everything else there are no words which describe it.
** The author on forum describes it as Unmaking, a corrosive quantum entropic decay with a malicious, hateful and predatory intellect.

* GodIsEvil: A fair assessment of what the Outsider is and implies. It created eezo, dark matter and energy, and inject them into multiple dimensions, and it uses them to invade and consume entire realities.
** Subverted, according to WordOfGod; while the Outsider does eat and destroy realities, it feeds on realities that use universe-killing method of Godpower, thus seeing itself as necessary evil.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: High Ascended planned to do that and become eleventh-dimension entities; it didn't happen, and only allowed Darkness to arrive to that reality.

* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: They managed to give themselves god-like powers through enhancing themselves and siphoning energy from other realities, using dimensional science. Even at its lowest, Katha's knowledge is still leagues and leagues above everyone, Inusannon included.

** WordOfGod states that it is a gestalt of thousand races destroyed by Godpower ripples.

* RatedMForManly: Batarian society is almost entirely masculine and generally only offers any respect to males. This presents a problem for them, as of the three galactic superpowers one is gender equal, one is female-dominated, and one consists of ''only'' females.

* OverprotectiveDad: Suffers from an ''extreme'' case of this.

* GreaterScopeVillain: It is responsible for creation of eezo, dark energy and dark mo atter, which use led to the majority of problems in universe.

* TheDreaded: She's practically a living demon to batarians. Even Garrus' batarian teammate who's dedicated to fighting Omega's criminals is nervous around her.
* UnscrupulousHero: She's far from heartless, but she has little restraint and is extremly brutal.

* HotScientist: Especially to Shepard.

* AnAxeToGrind: Turians' preferred melee weapons are axes.

* GreaterScopeVillain: It is responsible for creation of eezo, dark energy and dark matter, which use led to the majority of problems in universe.

* SufficientlyAdvancedAliens: They managed to give themselves god-like powers through enhancing themselves and siphoning energy from other realities, using dimensional science. Even at its lowest, Katha's knowledge is still leagues and leagues above everyone, Inusannon included.

* KnifeNut: Alongside the obvious, he uses astatine-doped knives and has a sword collection totaling in at over two million credits.

* BatmanGambit: It is implied to be behind creation of eezo, dark matter and dark energy. As inhabitants of other realities use them for their purposes and change physical constants, it allows Outsider to enter those realities and eat everyone and everything.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Surprisingly but true. The Outsider eats only these realities whose inhabitants are destroying other universes, the rest it doesn't touch. It is also PragmaticVillainy: those universes just don't have enough energy to sate it. WordOfGod is that he didn't want to make one-dimensional monster.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: It was created by United Humanis Corporation, human corporate civilization from another universe, who tried create a slave being which would threaten other realities and transdimensional gods for ransom.

* HumansAreRealMonsters: It was created by United Humanis Corporation, human corporate civilization from another universe, who tried create a slave being which would threaten other realities and transdimensional gods for ransom.

* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: They managed to give themselves god-like powers through enhancing themselves and siphoning energy from other realities, using dimensional science.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even they were repulsed by Carcosians, species from one of the previous Circles that was influenced by Black Leviathans and was so vile (their atrocities was much worse than anything species of that Cycle has done, for example they captured minds of xenos species, used as AIs, and subjected them to a FateWorseThanDearh) that they deliberately went out of their way to exterminate them.
