History Characters / PlanescapeTorment

* NoteToSelf: Wrote a few, and spent most of his life destroying other such notes left by 'body thieves', past (and future) versions of himself who he feared had stolen his life and memories.

* InPlaceOfAnEye: One of the equipment slots of the Nameless One is his eye socket, and you will find various pieces to put into it. Including an eye, that did belong to one of his past incarnations.

* TheArcher: Enforced -- despite being a fighter, Nordom cannot unequip his gear spirits (or equip any other weapon) and must fight ranged.

* AdaptationalWimp: His 5th Edition stats render him as a weak CR 1/4 creature with none of the abilities or resistances that he possessed in ''Planescape: Torment''. Of course, he shows up in an adventure for low-level characters, so if he were as strong as he was by the end of the computer game he wouldn't need any assistance from the player characters.

** The Paranoid Incarnation also tried breaking the cycle of IdentityAmnesia by seeking out experts in ressurection to make sure he'd be the last one and no-one else could steal his body after death. He found one, who stopped (or at least identified the end of) the resurrection amnesia suffered by the Nameless One, making the game as-is possible. Unfortunately that solution only kicked in several deaths ''after'' the Paranoid Incarnation was dead and gone.

* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets furious when ever another girl enters the picture with the Nameless One. This the main reason for her dislike of Fall-from-Grace, and if the player tries to hire a harlot she violently threatens said harlot. Eventually, she'll even leave the party and refuse to return until you've kicked out Fall-From-Grace.

* CripplingOverspecialization: All of his default spells deal fire damage. There are a very large percentage of enemies in the game that have resistance of flat out immunity to fire damage, while very few have any special vulnerability to it.

!!The Nameless One

* DropTheHammer: One of the potential weapon types he can make use of is war hammers.

!!The Companions In General

** Nordom, a rogue Modron newly separated from the HiveMind of his people.

!!Ignus

* ElementalEmbodiment: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He isn't an actual fire elemental, but his body is a gate to the elemental plane of fire.

!!Nordom

* SecretCharacter: He is in so obscure a locale that you may not even know he exists until another fan tells you. And finding him can be a real GuideDangIt quest.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Sometimes announces inflection and intent before a sentence, calculates aloud, talks in numerals and non-speech sounds, and frequently glitches out or mutilates his words. The impression overall is of a [=Text-to-Speech=] program with a few screws loose, and in a fairly literal sense, that's exactly what his speech is.

* GutturalGrowler: Michael T. Weiss voices him with a deep, gravelly voice that sounds almost like a genuine growl.

* TheCameo: A few oblique references are made to The Nameless One in the 5e ''Planescape: Adventures In The Multiverse'' sourcebooks; in the adventure ''Turn of Fortune's Wheel'' the party members wake up in the Mortuary like and encounter Morte like he did and are stricken with a multiversal "glitch" that gives them a variant of his type of immortality [[spoiler:and the last boxed quote in the module is attributed to Adahn, a pseudonym TNO can go by in lieu of their own forgotten name which, if done enough, can spawn a real person named Adahn (which appears to be the case for the module's Adahn, who is referred to as a "newly arrived resident of Sigil")]] Additionally, the monster art for the Vargouille Reflections in ''Morte's Planar Parade'' includes a Vargouille that has taken the appearance of TNO, implying that he's been kicking around in Undersigil. Notably, all of these cameos are a case of RetroactiveRecognition as the 5e Planescape sourcebooks are all set ''before'' the events of ''Planescape: Torment''; notably, Morte refuses to accompany the party in ''Turn of Fortune's Wheel'' if asked becasue he is "waiting for somebody else", presumably the next incarnation of TNO who will kick off the events of ''Torment''. Exactly where the current incarnation of TNO is during the events described in the 5e sourcebooks is unknown, likely to avoid any CuttingOffTheBranches issues with this game and any home campaigns run with these sourcebooks.

** The Paranoid Incarnation also tried breaking the cycle of IdentityAmnesia by seeking out experts in ressurection to make sure he'd be the last one and no-one else could steal his body after death. He found one, who stopped (or at least identified the end of) the resurrection amnesia suffered by The Nameless One, making the game as-is possible. Unfortunately that solution only kicked in several deaths ''after'' The Paranoid Incarnation was dead and gone.

* SociopathicHero: His ultimate goal was to [[spoiler:end his immortality, a good goal given the cost of said immortality]], but there was absolutely no line too vicious or cruel for him to cross in his quest to accomplish this.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Vhailor was the SympatheticInspectorAntagonist to the Practical Incarnation until the latter trapped him in Curst, and you can recover the memories of him with sufficient WIS.]] By the time you find him, he's forgotten practically everything except his name and his purpose, [[spoiler:including you. Reminding him is not a good idea... [[LetsYouAndHimFight unless its to get a rid of a certain obstacle getting between you and your due judgment that is]].]].

** Casting him into the Plane of Fire is described as one potential way of killing him. However, from what is learned about how his immortality functions, it's possible that doing so wouldn't so much kill him as trap him in an endless loop of being burned to death, reviving, and burning again.

* UnscrupulousHero: His ultimate goal was to [[spoiler:end his immortality, a good goal given the cost of said immortality]], but there was absolutely no line too vicious or cruel for him to cross in his quest to accomplish this.

* ItsAllAboutMe: His sole driving motivation is his personal advancement and success, and he cares about absolutely ''nothing'' else.

* FunWithHomophones: Ravel has sometimes has trouble remembering the right word, but picks a homophone of that word (e.g. "not" vs. "knot") - and it would only be noticed in the text rather than if it were spoken.

--> "You have a whole where... wear? Wear your mortality once lay within your shell."

* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:Ravel loves the Nameless One and won't go all out on him, not to mention she is saving her power for an inevitable conflict with the Transcendent One. Subverted slightly in that she admits post-battle that the current incarnation is powerful and could very well have killed her either way.]]

* RiddleMeThis: Was infamous for her riddles, which forfeited the challenger's life if they failed (and they all did). [[spoiler:The First Incarnation beat her at her own game by giving her a riddle she couldn't answer.]]

* DyingDeclarationOfHate: If you convince him to rejoin you, his last words as an independent being are to declare his endless hatred for the Nameless One.

* ThirdPersonPerson: As an expression of his insanity, he never uses "I", only "Ignus".
