History Characters / XenobladeChroniclesXNLA

* TransgenderFetishization: Like all of her race, she is MsFanservice. If Erio chooses to live as a male, she and Lyvia are set up as possible romantic interest for Female Rook. She and Lyvia get an entire sidequest about it, in fact.

* ShoutOut: Not only does he ask you to build a time machine out of a car, but after his sidequests he ends up forming "Factory 1.21", both of which are ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' references.

* [[FiveManBand Four Man Band]]:
** TheLeader: Corwin
** TheLancer: Raleigh
** TheBigGuy: Peter
** TheChick: Bates

* ScaryBlackMan: Powell. Shallot is clearly intimidated by his bold, loud presence. [[spoiler:Taken to a much more lethal degree when Camilla bits the bullet]].

-> Voiced by: Creator/KazutomiYamamoto (Japanese), Nicolas Roye (English)

* IAteWhat: Inisae give chocolate candies to Sarona that were made from Cinicula viscera which was dried out, condensed, and then reconstituted with bile.
-->Sarona: PFFFTHRRBPPPBBT! NO! Are you SERIOUS, Inisae!? Girl, you gotta tell me these things ahead of time!
** Averted by Eleonora who, to Sarona's dismay, expresses curious fascination with the candies.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Despite defecting from the Ganglion and genuinely helping humanity under the identity of Suriella, Erio ends up getting arrested by Lara Nara by the end of "Attack on Biahno Hills" since she still fed information to the Ganglion prior to her HeelFaceTurn. However, it appears she got pardoned in her following missions under the condition of helping Rook against the other Definians. She also assumes a new human identity, one that depends on Rook's gender.

* BadassMustache: A big ol' handlebar 'stache that resembles Wrestling/HulkHogan's.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually a friendly, if stern, person. However, one incident involving H.B.'s recklessness (which caused numerous other BLADE soliders to be injured) angered Vandham so much that ''he punched H.B. in the face''.

* {{Hypocrite}}: His reason for hating xenos is because he doesn't forget who destroyed his homeworld, but he teams up with the Ganglion to purge NLA of xenos, who actually ''were'' the ones who destroyed Earth. He [[HypocrisyNod admits]] that he was going to betray the Ganglion anyway, implying that he didn't plan for them to get away for something that they really are guilty of.

* EnemyMine: He hates xenoforms, but colludes with the Definian [=DV482:=] Duvel because she was willing to provide him with technology and soldiers. Even then he promptly executes her once the plan falls through, because he has no further use for her and [[LaughingMad her voice]] was annoying him.

** HypocrisyNod: He admits that he was going to betray the Ganglion anyway, implying that he didn't plan for them to get away for something that they really are guilty of.

* {{Transgender}}: If Rook is female, she takes a male form during the end-game. She makes it clear that she plans to live in that form for the foreseeable future, and other characters alternatively [[PronounTrouble call Erio "her" and "him"]]. However, Erio herself never states that she identifies solely as anything except female.

* IfIWereARichMan: Ornella wanted to forget about the traumatic experience of survivng the destruction of Earth by living in an opulent mansion and enjoying a lavish lifestyle so she decided to ride on Hope's coattails with the intent of running a get-rich-quick scheme off of her charitable successes.

* HalfTruth: [[spoiler:Yelv assumes she know all about him because she's been spying on his actions. She admits that she ''has''--just not for the reasons he thinks.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually friendly, if stern, person. However, one incident involving H.B.'s recklessness (which caused numerous other BLADE soliders to be injured) angered Vandham so much that ''he punched H.B. in the face''.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually friendly, if stern, person. However, one incident with H.B.'s recklessness (which caused numerous other BLADE soliders to be injured) angered Vandham so much that ''he punched H.B. in the face''.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually friendly, if stern, person. However, one incident with H.B.'s recklessness (which caused numerous other BLADEs to be injured) angered Vandham so much that ''he punched H.B. in the face''.

* ForegoneConclusion: Played with. On one hand, if his claim about being from the future is true, then it means humanity ended up surviving after all. [[spoiler:But it turns out he's unfamiliar with Mira, thus unaware of whether humans are alive or not in the future.]]

* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:He plans to do something productive with that money he's hoarding]].
