* {{Tsundere}} - Don't piss him off.

* CovertPervert

* MulletOfPower

* BunnyEarsLawyer
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass

* CaptainErsatz - Looks like one of the Jinrai from VideoGame/{{Neotokyo}}.

* MoreDakka - Heavily employed by Spac-Bat mercs and Four-Leaf TG Division mercs. On the Axis side, their {{evil counterpart}}s happens to be the [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Gensokyo]] Battalion (a misonomer - they used to specialize in deception - hence their name), who recently adapted the [[BulletHell "danmaku"]] tactic.

* HuskyRuskie - Even out of his suit of armor, he's big.

* BadassGrandpa - He's in his fifties and still swings around a loaded battle rifle like a toy.

* BadassGranpa - Sharp.

Signed up with a Japanese PMC after the Imperial Japanese Army reported her boyfriend, who had been in the same PMC, missing in action. Shortly after, her PMC "defected" - taking up a hefty paycheck from the UnitedStates after the IJA tried to screw them out of some cash via new laws. Continues to investigate what little evidence is there for her boyfriend's survival.

** [[SpaceBattles Galaxy Corps]].

** Many famous people were born earlier. There's a reference to Music/MichaelJackson and ElvisPresley on tour for the war effort.

* HumongousMecha - Handled realistically. The King Oni and Riese units are primarily meant for psychological warfare (seriously, seeing a hulking mountain of steel bristling with cannons and rocket pods headed toward your already-battered squad is terrifying). It's both AwesomeYetPractical and AwesomeYetImpractical - They're capable of holding their own against mechanized armor, but they're huge targets, their legs are weak (and are ultimately their doing-in), they're vulnerable to hi-jacking, they're slow (compared to an Abrams or Scorpion tank or T-90), and they're exorbitantly expensive. Even Hitler who loved the ridiculous Maus tanks (and so on) hates the designs and cost. And they're not really any better than Anime/{{Patlabor}} mecha, except for the Franchise/MetalGear REX ersatz.

** Not part of the Battalion, but [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief Petty Officer John]] [[Film/DemolitionMan Spartan]] of the US Navy often ruins the day for Axis troopers. Usually, a [[{{Metroid}} bounty hunter thought of as male and with an arm-mounted laser weapon]] and a [[VideoGame/HalfLife crowbar-wielding man in a combat suit originally meant for scientists operating in hazardous environments]] tag along with him.

** Trotsky, anticipating Stalin building a personal security force to overthrow him, built one of his own, causing a split in Soviet Russia that rages on throughout the war. One side is more or less today's RussianFederation, but with their vehicles and weapons with a higher tech upgrade, and the other is essentially 1980s Soviet Russia.

** [[TVTropes Tango Victor Tango.]]

* UsefulNotes/WorldWarI - Equivalent to the VietnamWar here. Still ended badly for the Germans, otherwise, we wouldn't have much of a plot, now would we?

The internet fighting WorldWarTwo in an AlternateUniverse.

''The'' second in command. Had served in the first World War and was preparing to leave and set up his own mercenary company with people who have served under him, if not for the fact WorldWarTwo just broke out. Wears a sweet beret.

* DieselPunk - Looks like something straight out of most AltHistory WorldWarTwo works, with steel scrap armor and a heavily modified Garand.

* WorldWarOne - Equivalent to the VietnamWar here. Still ended badly for the Germans, otherwise, we wouldn't have much of a plot, now would we?

** [[GaiaOnline Gaia]]. Hated by Four-Leaf, SA... actually, pretty much hated by most people, since they're often viewed as having sloppy training and poor rip-offs of Four-Leaf tech and tactics.

** [[SomethingAwful SA Inc.]] Membership is often regarded as hideously expensive, but worth it.

* AuthorAvatar - Jack, the complete dipshit. He'd make [[FullMetalJacket Private Pyle proud.]]

* CaptainErsatz - Looks like one of the Jinrai from {{Neotokyo}}.

* ClusterFBomb - Would make [[BlackLagoon Revy]] cringe.

*** T51R is [[BlackLagoon Gretel]]. She eventually dumps the dress, though, for some combat armor.

* ElegantGothicLolita - Played straight and mocked. Agent T51R (who looks like BlackLagoon's Gretel), who had spent the last days in the area watching Nazi movements, had her last clothes ruined by a bombing. It's about as practical as being naked in the field, and attracts snipers and often gets snagged on something. She eventually gets a proper combat suit, but it makes her look like even more of a midget.

* FallingIntoTheCockpit - Jack, The Master, Solstace, and Doom get hastily picked to counter a [[NeonGenesisEvangelion five specially built Axis mechs tearing Soviet tank battalions to shreds]]. (The only reason why they haven't been shot down is because the portion of the Army lacks sufficient firepower or back-up to damage them.) (Yes, they do play counterpart to the NGE expies. Scrappy versus Scrappy fights ensue, and an emo Japanese pilot and Jack keep getting tossed out of the cockpit as a RunningGag.

* InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou[=/=]HuskyRusskie - Deskad, one of the minigun carrying, PoweredArmor-equipped Rumblers, who has no clue why everyone suddenly starts putting on bad accents and imitations of Stalin whenever he talks to them. He's built decently, but not like an iron shithouse.

*** A few Rumblers are actual {{Captain Ersatz}}es. Example: SILENCE is [[FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori.]]

* CaptainErsatz - Not Kaname from FullMetalPanic. WE PROMISE.

* [[DeadLittleSister Missing Same-Aged Boyfriend]]

* DeadLittleSister - SILENCE joined the PMC because [[FullMetalPanic her boyfriend, Uniform-7]], got killed after the IJA sent his PMC on a SuicideMission. When the PMC defects, she joins, anyway, because she doesn't like how the Imperial government is handling things. [[spoiler:Hint: Uniform-7 is still alive and is with the IJA. This ends poorly.]]
