History Characters / ShadowRaiders

* RightForTheWrongReasons: The fact that fleeing the battle of Remora was a cowardly act is denied by no one, not even Femur himself. Still, it was the correct tactical decision when seen objectively. The Clavicle can not be subjected to ad hoc repairs like The Aurora, and took substantial damage from a near miss by one of the Null energy artillery cannons, Femur's fleet was composed of bombers, not fighters, so they couldn't partake in the high-speed, high-agility dogfights, and the bombs weren't remotely strong enough to even cripple said cannons. Had Femur stuck around, all he could hope to accomplish was to needlessly increase his casualties.

* [[DropTheHammer Drop The Mace]]: He wields a bladed cudgel in battle.

* WomenAreWiser: She's significantly more intelligent than Blokk, and overall prefers subtlety and planning.

* GutturalGrowler: He sounds like he's gargling gravel when he speaks.

* AllForNothing: They put their planet's entire infrastucture into making it a weapon to fight the Beast. They were consumed anyway.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: Despite his many, many character flaws, the alliance prefers him over Mantel, by light-years. All of Femur's less than desirable acts are ultimately forgivable because he's acting on Bone's bests interests, not his own. Mantel, on the other hand, is an arrogant and loud bully who abuses everyone he thinks beneath him, only cares about his own power, fame, and glory, and ''intentionally'' puts both his own people, and the alliance as a whole in needless jeopardy on multiple occasions purely for the sake of his insane hubris. Even his death fighting Blokk doesn't redeem him, as he only fought because he was cornered.

--> '''Femur:''' "Until now, my greatest threat was ''you,'' Old Buddy."

* PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: Has no qualms going after defenseless terrestrial worlds. Doesn't seem interested in massive stars or gas giant planets though.

* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: [[spoiler: When she becomes ruler of Planet Rock. Just call her Jade. So stop your kneeling, you're embarrassing yourself. And stop saying "Your Majesty", because you're embarrassing her as well.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Her stance on [[spoiler: giving the Alliance military codes to Lord Mantle. The battle against Remora probably wouldn't have been possible without the help of Rock's battle-moons]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[spoiler: When Blokk marches into his throne room with a horde of drones, Mantle challenges the Beast general to a duel without hesitation. [[SubvertedTrope He loses]].]]

* SuccessionCrisis: He creates one by [[spoiler: getting himself killed in a duel with Blokk, and without children leaving no natural heir to the throne. Jade has to fix his mess by rising up to the occasion following Graveheart's nomination.]]

* BigEgoHiddenDepths: All who ascend to the throne of Planet Rock must first pass the ritual known as the "foundation of the soul" where one must either [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind conquer their inner demons]] or be destroyed by them. He passed it long before the series began, meaning Mantle it appears never had any qualms or regrets with his true self - in this case [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk being a Jerkass]].

* BadassBaritone: Courtesy of Creator/PaulDobson.

* OverprotectiveDad: To Zera. Justified, since there ''is'' a war going on.

* DimensionLord: According to the (now defunct) official website, it was the creator and ruler, of an entire plane of existence comprised of null matter. The Beast Planet is merely its means of [[YourSoulIsMine harvesting the life from the universe]]. For anyone it successfully consumed and absorbed, this is [[AFateWorseThanDeath a hellish final resting place]].

* GottaKillThemAll: Never rests until it has consumed [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne all life and other sentience]]. The people of Fire escaping their doomed world annoyed it greatly, [[spoiler: so it conspires to create a null matter clone of their home to lure them back.]]
