* BadassCrew: They may not have the sheer resources of large organizations like the VAC, but each of them is capable of kicking copious amounts of ass, and they have their own long-term plan for defeating the aliens.



* AlienInvasion
* BigBad: They are the primary villains of the series, responsible for all ills that happen in the series after Episode 2.
----



* YouHaveFailedMe: One of them threatens Veerus when his attack on Railway United is foiled by the VAC.



----
* BigBad: Is shaping up to be this, being the leader to whom the Walkers report.
* VillainsOutShopping: Briefly appears in the third QnA, showing mild amusement at a question directed at it.




to:

* InformedAbility: In Episode 6, KIA mentions they have an incredible sense of smell. Despite this, in the first episode, he can easily sneak among them without being detected.
* {{Mooks}}: They're probably the least individually dangerous variants, being simple-minded melee attackers who can easily be defeated in a direct fight. KIA even [[LampshadeHanging pokes fun at them for it.]]
-->'''KIA:''' Yup. Just as disposable as ever.
* TheNoseKnows: They are blind, and compensate for it with a strong sense of smell.
*




to:

* SuperScream: One they use to draw in hordes of other Distorted.



----
* FlayingAlive: Their mutation is so extreme that their skin couldn't contain it, leading to exposed musculature.
* MightyGlacier: They're large, hardy and hit like a truck.
* TopHeavyGuy: To an even more extreme degree than normal heavies, which is actually exploited by Heavy Guy, who strikes its relatively weak knees.




to:

[[folder:In General]]
A small group of AmbiguouslyHuman individuals that work for the aliens.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: They most probably not human, but it's unclear if they are variants of the Distorted or if they willingly joined the aliens.
* TheFaceless: They all wear face-concealing masks, with Veerus having a Gas Mask/Plague Doctor Mask set, The Gentleman having a gas mask with GlowingEyesOfDoom and CBS has a Hockey Mask.
* TheVoiceless: None of them have uttered a single word on-screen. It's unknown if this is because they refuse to or if they [[TheSpeechless can't.]]
[[/folder]]


Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFace: He keeps it hidden for a very good reason, as a pair of unfortunate V.A.C. checkpoint guards found out.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod is that he's meant to be TSU's version of the RED Spy that always accompanies WebAnimation/ChristianBrutalSniper. He also seems to take his wardrobe from [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glow a sinister yellow through his gas mask's goggles.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Expy}}: He's one of WebAnimation/ChristianBrutalSniper, as stated by WordOfGod.
* PsychoKnifeNut: Is shown sharpening a machete in his first appearance. Given who he's [[WebAnimation/ChristianBrutalSniper based on,]] it's a given.


Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a floating disembodied eye with hands and a fancy hat, but is also a potent sorcerer who easily dispatched an entire V.A.C. squad.


Added DiffLines:

* HurricaneOfPuns: Every word in his name, title and subtitle are eye puns.

Added DiffLines:

* LightningBruiser: As its name suggests, it moves at dangerous speeds and is strong enough to throw a steel beam with just one arm.


Added DiffLines:

----
* BodyOfBodies: Is formed from a pile of corpses so mangled that their individual parts are barely recognizable.
* HollywoodAcid: Can spew this from its mouth, which required Crush to destroy its head to stop.
* MightyGlacier: It's so tough to kill that only the Bruiser can be compared to it, but it usually crawls much slower.


Added DiffLines:

* ActionBomb: They can explode into a gory mess when close to an enemy, but since this can be forced to happen if hit on the head hard enough, they're also useful for killing other Distorted.


Added DiffLines:

* HarmlessEnemy: They don't have heads to sense the environment, and thus cannot respond to being attacked. This means they're guaranteed to be guarded by other Distorted who can fight back.

I left a draft over in a previous edit.


* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: During the first half of "The Distortion (Part 1)," almost all insight into Jumpsuit's character is filtered through Fixer's positive perception of him. During a lunchbreak, Fixer congratulates Jumpsuit for his work while asserting their friendship, and it's during the Distortion outbreak later that his assessment is proven correct to the audience. Jumpsuit comes to his aid and subsequently becomes his best friend and roommate in the episode's next part.
Fixer sees a lot of good in Jumpsuit, singing his praises directly to him during "The Distortion (Part 1)." and his assessment proves to be correct. During "The Distortion (Part 1)," he gives him words of encouragement when he seems down during a lunchbreak; Jumpsuit repays his kindness later on during the Distortion outbreak.
-->"He's a Good Guy."

* DeathGlare: In "Smoke and Mirrors (Part 2)," Terge recounts his time working in the Badlands to Fixer, and he makes his low opinion of the place and its people loud and clear. As he does, Skimmer is unnerved to see Jumpsuit glaring intently at Terge, the talk of the Badlands evidently striking a nerve within him. Terge is too caught up in his storytelling to notice, and Skimmer chooses not to comment on it. In the third [=QnA=], Blackimus confirmed that Jumpsuit's wasn't offended by Terge's badmouthing--it was out of familiarity; he too knows how dangerous the Badlands can be.

Introduced in "The Distortion (Part 1)," Fixer is a kindhearted, intelligent Scout who worked as a train repair mechanic for Railway United. He loved his job and was well-liked by his coworkers, but the good times came to an abrupt end when the company's facilities are invaded by the Distorted. Fixer slept through the inciting attack for almost an hour, and this negligent action has haunted him ever since, even as he tries his best to move on from the tragedy.

There are more details implying that Heavy Guy's Awakened Form is somewhat influenced by his emotional state. It's not strictly the hat, though it does play a part.


* EmotionalPowers: It's a lot easier for Heavy to tap into his Awakened Form when he's angry.
** P-Rick accidentally ticks him off severely in "Kicking Against Pricks" after knocking off his hat, causing Heavy to unconsciously tap into his powers for the first time in the series. He knocks out P-Rick with a ''much'' stronger punch to the face than usual, and when he calms down, he notices that something's off; his fist emits a peculiar flame and his body is shaking...
** When it seems like Smoke was killed by a Distorted Sniper in "Smoke and Mirrors (Part 2)", Heavy flies into a fierce rage, his eyes turning demonic as his body quakes from the power rising from within. The only reason he doesn't act on the sudden power boost is that Smoke turns out to have survived.



* HatOfPower: Oddly [[InvertedTrope inverted.]] His hat seems to act as something of a subconscious PowerLimiter as he becomes ''much'' more dangerous (and [[BerserkButton angry]]) whenever it gets removed.

* BigFun: He can get tough when necessary, but Heavy Guy is a still a big dude with a big heart. He's able to get along with just about anyone who doesn't pose an immediate threat to him. Episodes like "Crossroads" show him to be just as nice during fragging matches, being a good sport who is very encouraging to his fellow participants. Unfortnately, his ability to make connections so quickly means he takes losses pretty hard; the same episode has him reflect on the mercenaries killed during "Endless Greed" before he sets off to save KIA and others from a similar fate.

* BadassBoast: After telling KIA's group they'll soon join the Distorted's ranks, Smoke fires an arrow at his head and says that's not going to happen. The Distorted Soldier smiles, catches and breaks the arrow Smoke fired, and says that's what they all said. Considering the large amount of Distorted in the dead server, he's not joking.

* HealingFactor: Can regenerate KIA can recover from many kinds of wounds on his own. in all of a few seconds. It's commented an exceptional ability even among his fellow Stand-Users, and many people comment on it throughout the series. The first time he's questioned about it in "Crossroads" is also the only time he offers some kind of explanation for why he's able to do this:
-->''[An encounter with
a few times either Distorted Pyro leaves a severe burn on KIA's right hand. After Heavy incapacitates the Pyro, he turns to KIA, concerned.]''\\
'''Heavy:''' ... You good?\\
'''KIA:''' ''[Lifting up his hand to look at the wound]'' Yeah...\\
''[A purple flame emits from KIA's wound as it rapidly repairs itself. Heavy cannot believe his eyes.]''\\
'''Heavy:''' ... You are not normal... are you?\\
''[Not a sign of the wound is left
by himself or others.the time the process finishes. KIA glances sadly at Heavy.]''\\
'''KIA:''' No... I'm... quite the opposite of normal.\\
'''Heavy:''' ''[satisfied, and sincerely]'' ... Is nice.

* TheAce: KIA is by far the most experienced protagonist of the series, having become very familiar with the mechanics of stand powers. He is the most effective stand-user, able to defeat both Heavy Guy and P-Rick despite their own powerful Stand skills. He also has fought and learned about the Distorted since Episode 1, and has even devised a plan of action to defeat the Distorted as a threat.
