History Characters / RepublicCommandoSeries

* ParentalNeglect: For all he is, however, he wasn't a good husband or father to his biological family. Whenever he managed to spend time with them, he always insisted on having them be Mandalorian warriors despite their interests being elsewhere (and also to the AdultFear of the non-Mandalorian Ilippi).

* AdultFear: Your husband who keeps leaving you and your children to fight in far-off battles wants to bring your sons [[ChildSoldier to the front lines]]. Unsurprisingly, this was what finally spurred Ilippi to get a divorce and to move the family back to Corellia.

* AdultFear: She was a child, only barely older than Jango, when Death Watch came to their home and killed their parents. She gets kidnapped by Death Watch and the Fett siblings never see each other again.

* AdultFear: She went missing a few months before ''Order 66'', having drifted away from her brothers, her apartment being empty, and [[{{Unperson}} having nothing on her record]].

* BadDreams: Besany notes that he sleeps with the covers over his face. Skirata explains it's because of live ordnance tests he had to listen to as a little kid.

* BadassBookworm
* BadassDriver

* HeroicAmbidexterity

* BadassBeard
* DeadpanSnarker
* HeelRealization: After hearing some of Skirata's arguments, he starts to consider whether the Jedi might have lost their way. Unfortunately, running a war has left him unable to really parse that out.

* {{Asexual}}: Implied.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: In ''Open Seasons'', she and her mother appear to be blonde Caucasians, though she may be [[MixedAncestry biracial]] since Jango is obviously depicted by a Maori actor and he seems to get his looks from his father. Lampshaded in ''Imperial Commando'', where it's described how she doesn't look like she’d be Jango's sister.

* RealityEnsues:

* {{Housewife}}: Kal wanted her to be what a Mandalorian wife was, that is, take care of the kids and prepare them to be warriors. RealityEnsues in that leaving the family in an isolated Mandalorian town did ''not'' mean she would be accepted by them and absorb their values, but was instead meant their family would be seen as outsiders, and she never did accept the Mandalorian mindset.

* RealityEnsues: Moving your family to a place where your wife will be seen as an outsider and repeatedly leaving her with your three young children while you go off to unnecessarily risk your life in wars for long periods of time, only sending back credits while never keeping in contact and expecting her to raise your children the way you want is an [[SarcasmMode excellent way]] to ruin your marriage and your relationship with your family, Kal.

* GeniusBruiser: Fits this description more than Fixer, as his tactical awareness and commanding ability is the reason Delta Squad manages to overcome harrowing odds time and time again, and is one of the most capable commandos around.
* TheLeader: The leader of Delta Squad, his word tends to be final on all decisions in the squad, even if Sev, Fixer or Scorch may question what he's doing at times.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his professionalism, he's known to be quite confident of his performance and the performance of his squad, won't hesitate to make snarky remarks and he's at least one gotten pissed that a charge misfired.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: When Delta Squad loses Sev's signal, Boss is more than willing to defy orders with Scorch to try and save him, but is essentially strong armed into leaving since the orders supposedly came from Yoda himself.

* BodyCountCompetition: He has one with Scorch, though his real motivator is so slaughter Genosians equal to the amount of Commandos they killed during the battle of Geonosis.
* CeilingCling: When Delta Squad first links up with Sev on Geonosis, he is seen clinging to the underside of the platform the rest of the squad is rappelling down from in order to evade detection by two Geonosian warriors who are lying in wait for Boss, Fixer and Scorch. Before the squad lands, Sev falls from his position and subsequently lays the smack down on the warriors.

** BroughtDownToBadass: After recovery he laments that he’ll never be his old self, but as Gilamar points out, 93% of a clone is about 150% of a regular human.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Appears in ''True Colors'' as Omega's liasion on Gaftikaar. Notably is the one who introduces them to Ny, who becomes a part of the main cast.

* CallToAgriculture: After the Clone Wars, they retire to become farmers. They have to learn farming from a manual, but are cool with it.

The head of the Kaminoan cloning program, and their most accomplished geneticist. She spearheaded the development of the Grand Army of the Republic, and takes great pride in the results. However, she's also a cold-hearted witch who almost killed the Nulls for not meeting domesticity standards. Sometime after the Clone Wars started, she took all of her research and absconded from Kamino. Tracking her down is a big part of ''True Colors'', as they need her expertise if they want to stop the clones' aging.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: A Neo-Nazi variant. A warrior who flaunts the old symbol of the regime, believes things were better for his people back then, and that restoring the old empire is what they're entitled to. This characterization notably made it into WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars, as Pre Vizsla is coded the same way.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Since the series didn't proper conclude, we don't get to see Reau's reaction to Dred's death.

* AdultFear: Your husband who keeps leaving you and your children to fight in faroff battles wants to bring your sons [[ChildSoldier to the front lines]]. Unsurprisingly, this was what finally spurred Ilippi to get a divorce and to move the family back to Corellia.

* MeaningfulName: Étaín is heroic female figure in Irish mythology. It also means "passion, jealousy".

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: It's also shown that his defecting has to do with his friendships with Omega and the Nulls, Skirata in particular being a father figure.

Having been genetically altered by Kaminoan scientists to survive long hyperspace journeys, this project was never carried out. As a side-effect of these alterations, she became Force-sensitive. Being ostracized by her people for lacking a purpose and being imperfect for being Force-sensitive, she left Kamino and was trained by rogue Jedi Master Kras'dokh. After Order 66, she sought refuge on Mandalore, but later joined the Altisian Jedi.

** He'll also take any opportunity to rant about the Jedi, even though without the Jedi his sons wouldn't exist, and the Mandalorians have just as much a history of [[NotSoDifferent messing up the galaxy.]]

The Null Advanced Recon Commandos were the very first batch of ARC troopers. Twelve fetuses were gestated, but only six survived to birth. As the first of their kind, [[SuperPrototype they had features their successors wouldn't]], including[[PhotographicMemory eidetic memories]], increased independence, and a tinkered loyalty gene. If a Null likes you, they'll die for you. And if they don't, they might kill you for jeopardizing someone else. All this created a product the Kaminoans deemed "unsuitable", which lead to their Null designation and a planned [[DeadlyEuphemism deletion]], which is when Kal Skirata rescued them and adopted them.

!!Omega Squad

[[folder:In General]]
* SoleSurvivor: The squad is made up of clones who were the only survivors of their respective squads at the Battle of Geonosis.
* TrueCompanions: Like most other squads, Omega have only each other to rely on.

-->''"The six Ps, sir. Proper Planning Prevents Pi... ''Inadequate'' Performance, sir."''

* AFatherToHisMen: Darman notes that he sounds like Skirata sometimes.
* GameBreakingInjury: Gets nearly crippled at a ''very'' critical moment in ''Order 66'', but manages to recover by the next book.
* TheGenericGuy: Receives the least characterization of the members in Omega, but this is only because he's busy trying to keep everyone sane.
* TheLeader: The effective leader of Omega.
* MeaningfulName: He's named Niner presumably because his call number ends with a nine.

[[folder:Darman]]

-->''"I can't think of a better time to die than when I'm no longer the best."''

* DemolitionsExpert: Of Omega Squad.
* TheProtagonist: Of the first book ''Hard Contact'', and remains one of the main POV’s in his series. The best way to chart the books' arcs is to see what’s happening with Darman.
* ShoutOut: 1136 is almost 1138, referencing ''Film/THX1138''.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Of Peter Darman, a military writer. This was actually supposed to be a placeholder name, but when it was accidentally released into the public domain, it stuck.
* UnfortunateNames: ''Dar'manda'' is used to refer to someone who has lost their Mandalorian heritage, so it's weird as to why Kal would name one of his surrogate sons the equivalent of "hell-damned". The Wook rationalizes that he may have named him as such out of pity.

[[folder:Fi]]

* DisabledBadass: He suffers a serious brain injury that compromises his mind and motor skills, but recovers in time with therapy and [[HealingHands Jusik’s Force healing treatments.]]
** BroughtDownToBadass: After recovery he laments that he’ll never be his old self, but as Gilamar points out, 93% of a clone is about 150% of a regular human.
* FriendlySniper: He's Omega Squad's sniper.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Really just wants to have a girlfriend. He finally gets one in Parja.
* DeadpanSnarker
* PluckyComicRelief: He’s the one who relieves the tension with jokes or snark.

[[folder:Atin]]
!!Atin Skirata (RC-3222)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/atin_skirata_rc_tv_tropes.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]

* AbusiveParents: Vau was one. Most notably, Atin attacked him during training and Vau cut him to pieces with a ''beskar'' saber and left him in healing bacta (the ''Star Wars'' equivalent of the ICU) for a week.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Is pretty quiet normally, but only because he's nurturing a deep rage, a lot of which is directed at Vau. When he gets the opportunity he sincerely tries to murder him and is only stopped by Bardan [[MindOverMatter Force-pushing]] them apart.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a big one running from under his right eye over his lips to the end of his left jaw. He also has more on his back and chest. [[DarkAndTroubledPast He got them from Vau.]]
* TheLancer: The second-most responsible member of the squad and has the edge in combat, having been trained by [[DrillSergeantNasty Vau]] instead of [[AFatherToHisMen Skirata]].
* MeaningfulName: He is named for the Mando'a word ''atini'', meaning [[{{Determinator}} "stubborn" or "persistent"]].[[note]]Interesting to note, we have the verb ''atiniir'' ("to endure"; -ir being a suffix in Mando'a to turn nouns into verbs) and the phrase ''k'atini'' (colloquially meaning [[OnlyAFleshWound "It's]] [[{{Determinator}} only]] [[ICanStillFight pain."]]; the k' being a prefix that indicates a command) ([[https://izzyovercoffee.tumblr.com/post/164676198415/uhi-was-wondering-this-for-a-long-timedoes see here for more details]]), so Atin's name might not just be referring to an irritable personality.[[/note]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: Has this with Vau.

[[folder:Corr]]
!!Corr Skirata (RC-5108/8843)
An ordinary clone demolitions trooper who lost both his hands in a defusal gone wrong. While being fitted for prosthetics, he was reassigned to office work on Coruscant and made the acquaintance of Besany Wennen. After the two became friends with Skirata and Omega, Corr underwent cross-training to become a commando and eventually replaced Fi on Omega Squad.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: He uses his to do knife tricks that might risk fingers on a normal hand.
* AscendedExtra
* TheCasanova: Is introduced to this life by Jaing and Mereel, and it's implied he's pretty accomplished.
* GallowsHumor
* PluckyComicRelief: He falls into this role when he replaces Fi in Omega. Invoked in-universe, since Darman notes that comic relief is actually pretty important here.

[[folder:Boss]]
!!Boss (RC-1138)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rc1138boss.jpg]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Boss is a prime example. At one point, he will ''single-handedly''[[note]]Well, there's one other commando with him at that point, but the layout of the arena makes him pretty much useless.[[/note]] take down a Dwarf Spider Droid. Without a scripted win scenario. He doesn't conveniently get to drop anything on it, or slip in behind and damage key components, though he does get a [[{{BFG}} Wookiee Guided Rocket Launcher]] to even the odds.
* DeadpanSnarker: Engages in this a bit less than Scorch and Sev, but won't hesitate to let snark fly out when he feels the need to.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: A clone derisively makes a comment towards him once he's separated from his squad, questioning his effectiveness, this actually upsets Boss so much that he calls the clone a coward, and offers no sympathy when he's killed.
* GeniusBruiser: Fits this description more than Fixer, as his tactical awareness and commanding ability is the reason Delta Squad manages to overcome harrowing odds time and time again, and is one of the most capable commandos around.
* TheLeader: The leader of Delta Squad, his word tends to be final on all decisions in the squad, even if Sev, Fixer or Scorch may question what he's doing at times.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his professionalism, he's known to be quite confident of his performance and the performance of his squad, won't hesitate to make snarky remarks and he's at least one gotten pissed that a charge misfired.
* ShoutOut: Boss's identification number is 1138. It's a recurring number in most of George Lucas' works, including ''Star Wars'', as a reference to his earlier work, ''Film/THX1138''.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: When Delta Squad loses Sev's signal, Boss is more than willing to defy orders with Scorch to try and save him, but is essentially strong armed into leaving since the orders supposedly came from Yoda himself.
* UnusualEuphemism: Is prone to these when giving orders regarding explosives. Terms such as "Radical Restructuring" and "Rearrange some architecture" come to mind.

->'''Voiced by:''' Andrew Chaikin

* TheComicallySerious: It never matters what's been said or what's happening, Fixer's going to remain serious and in the moment.
* NumberTwo: Fixer is a lot more willing to follow orders and get the job done by the book than Sev or Scorch, which is why he's in charge if Boss isn't around giving orders.
* OnlySaneMan: Sev and Scorch are both basically {{Blood Knight}}s of [[ColdSniper different]] [[MadBomber stripes]], and even Boss has moments of overconfidence. Fixer is a level-headed, by-the-book Commando (to the point of referring to his squadmates by their numerical designations rather than their nicknames) and the only one of the four who [[TheStoic never lets his emotions show]].
* SorryImLate: This is the manner in which Fixer finds Boss aboard the Prosecutor.
* TheQuietOne: He's a lot less chatty than anyone on Delta Squad, even the Boss.
* TheReliableOne: Not that the others are incompetent, but he is the one most likely to follow orders without complaint, and on the Prosecutor, he's the only other member of the squad besides Boss to fight off Trandoshan ambush and complete his objective without any outside help.
* TheSmartOne: Fixer serves as the slicer and technology expert for Delta Squad.

->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan David Cook

* BodyCountCompetition: He has one with Scorch, though his real motivator is so slaughter Genosians equal to the amount of Commandos they killed during the battle of Geonosis.
* CeilingCling: When Delta Squad first links up with Sev on Geonosis, he is seen clinging to the underside of the platform the rest of the squad is rappelling down from in order to evade detection by two Geonosian warriors who are lying in wait for Boss, Fixer and Scorch. Before the squad lands, Sev falls from his position and subsequently lays the smack down on the warriors.
* ColdSniper: Rather indifferent to everything that doesn't revolve around combat or making fun of Scorch.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He's probably the most accepting of the visceral actions of his enemies, if only because it allows him to act out his murderous aggression towards them later.
* FantasticRacism: While none of his squadmates were above using racial slurs ([[NotSoAboveItAll not even Fixer]]), Sev outright hates Geonosians and would keep track of Geos killed. This is specifically because half of the clone commandos deployed to Geonosis at the beginning of the war were killed in the one battle, and Sev has vowed to keep slaughtering Geonosians until he’s killed the same number.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Subverted when Delta Squad complies with the order to leave Sev behind on Kashyyyk, over Scorch's protests.
* NotQuiteDead: According to WordOfGod, the sequel to the ''Republic Commando'' game would have revealed that Sev was alive and he would've joined the Rebellion as one of its first soldiers.
* PsychoPartyMember: Scorch worries that Sev may be one of these in one of the loading screens:
-->'''Scorch:''' Boss, Keep an eye on Sev. He's been talking in his sleep lately, and I gotta tell you... it's scary stuff. Very scary stuff.
** Also, on Kashyyyk:
--->'''Scorch:''' Man, this place gives me the creeps.\\
'''Sev:''' Ah, Scorch, nothing better than a jungle hunt. Hiding in the bush, putting a plasma bolt through a hostile's cranium... makes me feel alive.\\
'''Scorch:''' Okay, now ''07'''s giving me the creeps.
* RedIsViolent: His armor is marked with an unknown crimson substance and he's the most violent of the squad.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Constantly going back and forth with Scorch.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Scorch. [[spoiler:Really shines at the end, when Scorch's ready to disobey orders to go back and rescue Sev despite all the crap they constantly gave each other throughout the game.]]

* CasualDangerDialogue: Constantly chatters during fights as though it were just another day in the office for him, even if it's a Dwarf Spider Droid bearing down on your squad.
* DemolitionsExpert: He's your explosives specialist and grenadier, and reacts with almost childlike enthusiasm to being given anti-armor weaponry.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's legitimately shocked that Trandoshan berserkers would run through their own minefield to get to Delta Squad.
* EyebrowsBurnedOff: The source of his nickname. While training with [[SergeantRock Walon Vau]], he managed to fire an explosive round in such a way that left both of them without eyebrows for a few weeks.
-->'''Walon Vau:''' Minor burns and injuries incurred today during anti-armor weapons training with RC-1262. New nickname: "Scorch."
* LeetLingo: Scorch will occasionally say "No terminal can match my l33t hax0r skillz!" when ordered to slice a computer terminal. [[http://www.clonecommandos.net/misc/l33thax0r.jpg Yes. He really does.]]
* PsychoPartyMember: It doesn't stick out all that much since he doesn't really do the CreepyMonotone or implied SlasherSmile that Sev does, but he's pretty much just as psycho as Sev thanks to his love of StuffBlowingUp.
* RunningGag: Scorch is constantly creeped out by various things in the game, much to the squads derision.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Constantly going back and forth with Sev.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Sev. [[spoiler:Really shines at the end, when he's ready to disobey orders to go back and rescue Sev despite all the crap they constantly gave each other throughout the game.]]
* WireDilemma: PlayedForLaughs occasionally when Scorch is arming a charge. Given he is the joker on the team, he might be intentionally invoking this as a joke.
-->'''Scorch:''' Was it "Red, Red, Green" or "Red, Green, Red?"\\
'''Sev:''' And ''he's'' supposed to be the demolitions expert?

* TheQuietOne

* ColdSniper

* FantasticRacism: While none of his squadmates were above using racial slurs ([[NotSoAboveItAll not even Fixer]]), Sev outright hates Geonosians and would keep track of Geos killed.

* EvilotionaryBiologist
