History Characters / PhantasyStarOnline2ARKS

* BigDamnedHeroes: She saved the PlayerCharacter from having to see the Three Heroes fight ''seriously'' by hijacking the systems and revealing ''everything'' that had been kept a secret, undoing the Absolute Order cast by Regius using her authority as [[spoiler:Number Zero of the Council]], appeared in Episode 2 climax to fight off Falz Loser, and spent most of the time in Episode 2 working with Patty and Tea to look for the shady activities that Luther had committed, allegedly without his knowledge.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Nice and affable, calls you "partner", does not mind going out of his way to help you look for [[spoiler:the Clarissa fragments]], and despite his lack of scenes, try his best to help you out when he can and in Episode 1-EX, was shown to be able to keep up with you in the ARKS Battle Championship. He also have access to an in-universe restricted area in Lillipa, have no problem mouthing off to the [[spoiler:Dark Falzes]], and is part of the in-universe team that held off [[spoiler:Dark Falz Apprentice's revival]] in Mining Base: Demise, other than the PlayerCharacter, Aurora and Euclita.

* Tsundere: As stated in her partner card.

* BadassDecay: *TheAce and master of Tech classes, have cleared every Extreme Quest, which includes Solo Training: Heaven and Hell and Bounds of Corruption, but have trouble taking down even one corrupted Darker while [[spoiler: Matoi cleared the entire mob with a simple Illgrants, though admittedly, it is not a fair comparison. But think of EP 3-7, where NPCs ranging from trigger-happy Risa to the ''16 years old'' Io (and not even a year into her career as ARKS) cleared the way for the PlayerCharacter to reach Matoi, who is in Viel Hunar form. In the Corrupted Area. Where the Profound Darkness is manifesting.]].

* PowerLimiter: Limits herself by changing class to Hunter despite the fact that she lacks the photon affinity for it. It is believed that the reason why she is weak is because of her self-esteem issues and general reliance on Zeno, especially when [[spoilers: Luther himself acknowledged that she have potential but lack the ability to tap into it, though he might just be trying to get her on his side, it is debatable if he is actually willing to sacrifice his plans for a mere weakling or did he really know that Echo have the potential to be powerful.]]

* TrainingFromHell: She forces herself through this in an attempt to keep up with Zeno. Several of her Client Orders involve you helping her out in this. [[spoilers: Her training with Maria after Zeno's return is ''literally'' this, as they have to be trained by a partizan-wielding battle maniac who is seemingly trying to kill the both of them.]]

* BigDamnedHeroes: She saved the PlayerCharacter from having to see the Three Heroes fight ''seriously'' by hijacking the systems and revealing ''everything'' that had been kept a secret, undoing the Absolute Order cast by Regius using her authority as [[spoilers: Number Zero of the Council]], appeared in Episode 2 climax to fight off Falz Loser, and spent most of the time in Episode 2 working with Patty and Tea to look for the shady activities that Luther had committed, allegedly without his knowledge.

* MoralityPet: For Hadred, who would do anything for her, even [[spoilers: dying for her.]] Conversely, she have one in the form of the [[spoilers: PlayerCharacter, who seemed to be the only person she actually cared for other than Hadred, at least, until Luther is defeated and she gets to interact with more people. She went out of her way, at risk of getting caught by Luther, to warn the PlayerCharacter multiple times about the upcoming storm, have no problems using her connections to find information for the PlayerCharacter, and chose to not kill Casra when she had the chance, even after promising him that she will take his life after everything is over, the moment she saw the PlayerCharacter coming towards them. And in the climax of Episode 3, had stated that she would not mind sacrificing her life for the PlayerCharacter.]]

* AloofBigSister: Forced into this role, since she is the [[spoiler:original]], all the [spoiler:Klariskrays clones designed after her, are biologically her younger sisters]]
. She did watch over the third Klariskrays whenever she could, though she did not got ''too'' close to her until Episode 3-2.

* AloofBigSister: Forced into this role, since she is the [[spoilers: original]], all the [[spoilers: Klariskrays clones designed after her, are biologically her younger sisters]]. She did watch over the third Klariskrays whenever she could, though she did not got ''too'' close to her until Episode 3-2.

* TheTease/Troll: Delivered with a touch of condescension, the only ones who are capable of curbing his tongue, or escape from his antics are Regius and Maria [[spoilers: the Number 1 and 2 respectively]] and the PlayerCharacter. Not even [[spoilers: Ulc, the ''Commander-in-Chief'' is spared judging by how she have to go behind the Intelligence Division's back and ask for the PlayerCharacter's help to find out more about the new influx of ARKS]].

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He was talented enough to get fast-tracked into ARKS and became one of the six most powerful members of the organisation.

* MoralityPet: To a number of characters in-universe, for example, the title earned when you played enough matches with Quna or Revelle is "insertname's Support". [[spoiler: And in Episode 2, Quna chose to not kill Casra II when she saw the PlayerCharacter in Vopal, though whether or not she would actually kill him is debatable. The PlayerCharacter could be said to be the only person that Zelsius Quna actually cared for after Hadred's death, at least, until Luther is officially defeated and she is free to interact with others]]

* PowerLimiter: Limits herself by changing class to Hunter despite the fact that she lacks the photon affinity for it.

* TrainingFromHell: She forces herself through this in an attempt to keep up with Zeno. Several of her Client Orders involve you helping her out in this.

* KnowledgeBroker: Although they never actually ''sell'' any information to you, thanks to Patty's motor mouth. Their actual role ends up being something closer to a {{Private Detective}}.

* WhatAnIdiot: Right it is better to go with a creepy mysterious guy that offers you power out of nowhere, then stay with someone you know and is trying to make sure you stay safe, and someone who your girlfriend trusts. Really.

* Determinator: The fact that he had spent essentially the most of Episodes 1 to 3 looking for his sister, which is slightly under a year in-universe, and continue to search for her even after he found out that his sister is [[spoiler:Dark Falz Apprentice]], despite knowing that he is virtually no match for her and her [[spoiler:horde of Darker insects]] and would probably ended up killed [[spoiler:especially since the Quarry area is designated as restricted, therefore, very dangerous]], actually makes him one of the more underrated determined characters in PSO2.

* MoralityPet: To a number of characters in-universe, for example, the title earned when you played enough matches with Quna or Revelle is "insertname's Support". [[spoiler: And in Episode 2, Quna chose to not kill Casra II when she saw the PlayerCharacter in Vopal, though whether or not she would actually kill him is debatable. The PlayerCharacter could be said to be the only person that Zelsius Quna actually cared for after Hadred's death.]]

* SecretKeeper: Works with the PlayerCharacter's role as *TheConfidant, the PlayerCharacter knows quite a few of the darkest secrets, such as the existence of the [[spoiler: Death Squad, Quna's true role and position in ARKS, the events of Ten Years Ago and Matoi's true identity, Professor Aki's role in the Rampaging Dragon Incident, Zeno's survival, Dark Falz Apprentice's true identity - a secret which the PlayerCharacter kept until the mass Dark Falz face-off and cannot be kept under covers, Luther's plans and machinations and many more.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Nice and affable, calls you "Partner", does not mind going out of his way to help you look for [[spoiler:the Clarissa fragments]], and despite his lack of scenes, try his best to help you out when he can. And have access to an in-universe restricted area in Lillipa, have no problem mouthing off to the [[spoiler:Dark Falzes]], and is part of the in-universe team that held off [[spoiler:Dark Falz Apprentice's revival]] in Mining Base: Demise, other than the Player Character, Aurora and Euclita.

* NonActionGuy: While he ''can'' fight well enough, he doesn't particularly like to. The fact that he can keep up with the Player Character in-universe, dare to go against and mouth-off in front of [[spoiler:Dark Falz]], have access to the restricted area in Lillipa, and in-universe, part of the team that fought in [spoiler:Mining Base:Demise]] beside his sister and the Player Character.

** You did this to Harriet twice, at the very start of Episode 5-1, once when she was being pursued by enemy forces, and the second when she was weakened from trying to activate the [[spoiler:Buster Tower]].

* HelloInsertNameHere: Text dialogue uses your player name when needed, but any speech refers you as "you", "partner" (by Afin), "senpai" (by Io), or "leader" (by Gene and More).

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Episode 3 Chapter 5, you push Sukunahime out of the way right before Double can consume her. However, this causes you and Matoi to get consumed instead and sucked into a PocketDimension where the two of you are forced to forge an uneasy partnership with [[EnemyMine Luther]].]]

* NonActionGuy: While he ''can'' fight well enough, he doesn't particularly like to.

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses ''ore'' instead of ''boku''.

* {{Tsundere}}: Her Partner Card describes her as one.

* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: In ''EPISODE 5'', you are given ownership of the Ame-no-Murakumo, Hitsugi's Katana from ''EPISODE 4'' that has the power to separate Ether from living beings. [[spoiler:It [[SpannerInTheWorks accidentally ends up working against you]], since its Ether causes the rescue attempt at saving Persona to go awry, indirectly leading to the discovery of the Omega dimension.]]

!!Patty & Tiea

Two twin Newman girls who act as self-proclaimed "information dealers" within ARKS; in truth, Patty is just a massive gossip and Tiea goes along to keep her sister in check. Despite this, they impart valuable information to the PlayerCharacter about the backstory of ARKS. By the end of Episode 1, [[TookALevelInBadass they become good enough at their "job"]] to uncover some of the darker secrets buried within ARKS, such as the existence of the "Death Squad" and "Void".

* ExpositionBreak: While several others engage in this, these two excel in this. While everyone [[AsYouKnow already knows what they're talking about,]] you're generally treated as LockedOutOfTheLoop, so most stuff they tell you is new, sometimes interesting, and occasionally relevant.

* IShallTauntYou: Hunters can get the War Cry ability that draws the enemies' aggro to them. This is good since Hunters have a ''much'' easier time aiming for enemies that aren't frantically chasing someone else, or he can just be a very effective tank while his allies lay waste to his oppressors, both cases usually leading to [[WalkingDisasterArea huge amounts of monster corpses around him]]...

* WeaponOfChoice: If Episode 4 is of any indication, the Coat Doublis, the Title Reward you acquire from achieving OneHundredPercentCompletion on Matter Board 3-7, is your canon weapon.

** Can be done by maining a Hunter and subclassing a Force or Techer, allowing you to cast Techniques while wielding a {{BFS}}. The mileage you get, however, isn't very much as they generally have very low T-ATK stat to work with, making this AwesomeButImpractical. On the other hand, there are swords, partizans, and wire lances that ''do'' have T-ATK, making it possible to play this way.
*** Maining a Fighter and subbing either Force or Techer is possible as well, since there are several Fighter passives that boost physical damage based on whether your opponents are under the influence of a status effect, as well as the Adrenaline passive that improves the lasting power of Deband and Shifta. Tech Arts JA Bonus further reinforces this, by granting a damage boost for integrating Techniques in your combo alongside Photon Artes. By building the subclass to focus on inflicting status effects, player can become a fast hitter that can use Techs to inflict status effects on groups of enemies and then take them out with strengthened physical attacks and Photon Arts.

** PrestigeClass: [[CloseRangeCombatant Fighter]], [[GunsAkimbo Gunner]] and [[MagicKnight Techer]] were originally advanced classes that had to be unlocked by reaching Lv.30 in Hunter, Ranger or Force respectively. When the Episode 3 update rolled around, this condition was removed.
