History Literature / FateOfTheFortySixth

* HeroesWantRedheads: Wolf has a romantic connection with Blaze, who has reddish brown hair.

* BadassInCharge: The lieutenants of the 46th Platoon seem to need to be this as a job requirement, as Tulio Drake does not fall short in this regard. He beats several mechs in quick succession with his own before taking down one of Apex's pilots.

* TheChick: Blaze Belgarde. The most emotional, the one in charge of [[TheMedic medical matters]] and she [[ActionGirl can hold her own in a fight]].

* FiveManBand:
** The five most commonly seen 46th Platoon members: [[TheHero Damian Wolf]], [[TheLancer Ash Filch]], [[TheSmartGuy Bob Dreyer]], [[TheBigGuy Jayce van Oudsthoorn]] and [[TheChick Blaze Belgarde]].
** The elite cyborgs of Apex: [[BigBad Alexander Brukov]], [[TheDragon Condor]], [[TheEvilGenius Cutthroat]], [[DarkActionGirl Persephone]] and [[TheBrute Stinger]].

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:None of the Forty Sixth platoon members survive besides Wolf and Sylvester.]]

* RealityEnsues: If you hit a sword against something hard, it's going to break. Swordfighting and wrestling is also ''really'' tiring!

* BadassGay: Caruso Buer. He fights alongside Wolf and keeps up as well as any other soldier in the platoon. He also assists in the final battle, giving Victory something to think about.

* FiveBadBand: The elite cyborgs of Apex: [[BigBad Alexander Brukov]], [[TheDragon Condor]], [[TheEvilGenius Cutthroat]], [[DarkActionGirl Persephone]] and [[TheBrute Stinger]].
* FiveManBand: The five most commonly seen 46th Platoon members: [[TheHero Damian Wolf]], [[TheLancer Ash Filch]], [[TheSmartGuy Bob Dreyer]], [[TheBigGuy Jayce van Oudsthoorn]] and [[TheChick Blaze Belgarde]].

* AnArmAndALeg/ HalfTheManHeUsedToBe/ OffWithHisHead: Sufficiently strong soldiers with swords seem to do this ''a lot''. See Lieutenant Colonel Harris [[note]]Gets the first inflicted on her and gives Stinger the last[[/note]], Mark Fish[[note]]Cut down the middle by Condor[[/note]] and Stinger[[note]]Harris cleaves off his head with his own weapon[[/note]] for various cases.

* FaceHeelTurn/ EtTuBrute: Tulio Drake isn't one of the good guys in ''Wyvern Diary''. This was bound to happen. [[spoiler:But the way it happened justifies Tulio's berserk button status for Wolf]]

* FiveBadBand: The elite cyborgs of Apex
** BigBad: Alexander Brukov, the greatest soldier in the world. He manipulates Wolf into doubting his own strength and lays surprise attacks with false promises.
** TheDragon: Condor. The most amicable of Apex's commanders, as he shares a story with Wolf before they fight. He does utterly and completely humiliate Wolf on their first meeting.
** TheEvilGenius: Cutthroat. Fights with drones equipped with blades and his own hunting rifle
** DarkActionGirl: Persephone. Gets right down to trying to slice Wolf apart with one of her many swords
** TheBrute: Stinger. Huge and very angry, can switch between almost unbreakable high defense and more bulky, stronger muscles.
* FiveManBand: The five most commonly seen 46th Platoon members
** TheHero: Damian Wolf. Uses swords, fights fair most of the time and tries his best to be a good guy.
** TheLancer: Ash Filch. Joking, friendly, one of the best fighters in the platoon.
** TheSmartGuy: Bob Dreyer. Has intimate knowledge of many types of weapons and machines and uses a sniper rifle to keep back and safe
** TheBigGuy: Jayce van Oudsthoorn. Tough enough to take several strikes from [[TheBrute Stinger]], strong, reliable.
** TheChick/ TheMedic: Blaze Belgarde. The most emotional, the one in charge of medical matters and she [[ActionGirl can hold her own in a fight]].

* HeroKiller: Dragons and the Dragoons

** SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Hers are described as calm and emerald like in color.

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:None of the Forty Sixth platoon members survive besides Wolf and Sylvester]]

* MercyKill: Wolf to some of the soldiers who had been ripped apart by a dragon attack. Takes up the job [[spoiler:in the final moments of the war after his platoon is killed]]

--> Wolf: "At least I still have you".

* BadAss: Let's see... Anyone who joins up with a PMC has their moments. From unnamed soldiers pulling through and defeating superior foes, to the duels between the powerhouses of the Guild and Apex, there's a lot of action and time for people to shine.
** BadassArmy: Apex is designed to be this and Black Raptor's reputation seems to put them in a similar regard, with only fifty men putting as large a dent in the war as the entire Guild force. The feats that the Dragon Guild perform against Apex earn them a place among the badass armies, showing bravery and perseverance against clearly superior enemies. And they don't always lose.
** BadassGay: Caruso Buer. He fights alongside Wolf and keeps up as well as any other soldier in the platoon. He also assists in the final battle, giving Victory something to think about.
** BadassInCharge: The lieutenants of the 46th Platoon seem to need to be this as a job requirement, as Tulio Drake does not fall short in this regard. He beats several mechs in quick succession with his own before taking down one of Apex's pilots.
** BadassNormal: Wolf fights against Apex's elite soldiers with nothing more than his swords. Even his strength increasing suit is broken, so all the power is his own. He is normal when compared to his best friend who spouts fire, Sylvester who is a cyborg and Tulio in his Battleframe.
*** EmpoweredBadassNormal: Once his strength enhancement returns, he can beat anything! The powerup pays off enough for him to finally draw against Condor.
** ColonelBadass: Lieutenant Colonel Harris. Easily as good a fighter as Wolf or perhaps Blayde and dismemberment isn't anything to put her down.
** HandicappedBadass: Lieutenant Colonel Harris after her run-in with the Liberty. The incident didn't make her any less aggressive or dangerous to the other side.
** HeartbrokenBadass: Humorous version with Colonel Blayde unsuccessfully flirting with Harris[[spoiler:''Very'' non-humorous and dramatic version with Wolf by the end, because Blaze is dead]]
** MajorlyAwesome: Major Haraby. A sniper just like Bob and willing to [[spoiler:sacrifice himself to save Harris.]]

[[caption-width-right:248:A sign of things to come]]

** HeartbrokenBadass: Humorous version with Colonel Blayde unsuccessful flirting with Harris[[spoiler:''Very'' non-humorous and dramatic version with Wolf by the end, because Blaze is dead]]

* FaceHeelTurn/ EtTuBrute: Tulio Drake isn't one of the good guys in Wyvern Diary. This was bound to happen. [[spoiler:But the way it happened justifies Tulio's berserk button status for Wolf]]
* AFatherToHisMen: A female example in Lieutenant Colonel Harris. She checks up on her men individually, ignores subordination and takes the blame for Jayce's costly error. She also consoles dying soldiers when she herself is in need of medical attention and she knows each soldier on a first name basis.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Wolf has a romantic connection with Blaze, who has reddish brown hair.
** SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Hers are described as calm and emerald like in color.

* DoomedbyCanon: As is the fate of many new characters in prequels. The Old Forty Sixth is used as an example by Wolf of how badly night attacks can go.

* LightningBruiser: Wolf is extremely fast, very strong and takes many hits without flinching. If they can block the strike with their shields, the Dragoons are exceptionally dangerous, being equipped with extremely powerful weapons and moving more quickly than any other Battleframe on the battlefield.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to Wyvern Diary, which wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows on its own.

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:None of the Forty Sixth platoon members survive beside Wolf and Sylvester]]

* PsychoticSmirk: [[spoiler:Hail]] has one when thinking about deploying the Dragoons and dragons simultaneously.

* TheRival: Black Hammond fights the world's best soldier in secret duels to prove Ru who's best. To put these duels in perspective, each is a OneManArmy capable of demolishing a town...

* TheBadGuyWins: Or is winning right now, in regards to D and the war. [[Ultimately includes the ending. Apex won the war, not the Guild]]

* BloodierAndGorier: Blood and guts are everywhere and dismemberment is the order of the day. Seriously, standard combat procedure is to bleed your enemy out with really hard and fast slashes.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Wolf]] kills the last dragon by ''punching through its neck and pulling out its windpipe''. Ouch!

* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother to Her Men]]: Lieutenant Colonel Harris checks up on her men individually, ignores subordination and takes the blame for Jayce's costly error. She also consoles dying soldiers when she herself is in need of medical attention and she knows each soldier on a first name basis.

* TheRival: Black Hammond fights the world's best soldier in secret duels to prove who's best. To put these duels in perspective, each is a OneManArmy capable of demolishing a town...

--> ''Condor''

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Standard procedure Guild swords can cut through men with ease
* ActionGirl: The military isn't very discriminating in terms of gender, so anyone can join. In terms of badassery, however, Lieutenant Colonel Harris stands out.

* AnArmAndALeg/ HalfTheManHeUsedToBe/ OffWithHisHead: Sufficiently strong soldiers with swords seem to do this ''a lot''. See Lieutenant Colonel Harris, Mark Fish and Stinger for various cases.

* BadAss: Let's see...
** BadassArmy: Apex is designed to be this and Black Raptor's reputation seems to put them in a similar regard. The feats that the Dragon Guild perform against Apex earn them a place among the badass armies.
** BadassGay: Caruso Buer [[spoiler:until [[BuryYourGays he dies]]]]
** BadassInCharge: The lieutenants of the 46th Platoon seem to need to be this as a job requirement, as Tulio Drake does not fall short in this regard.
** BadassNormal: Wolf fights against Apex's elite soldiers with nothing more than his swords. Even his strength increasing suit is broken, so all the power is his own.
*** EmpoweredBadassNormal: Once his strength enhancement returns, he can beat anything!
** ColonelBadass: Lieutenant Colonel Harris. Easily as good a fighter as Wolf or perhaps Blayde.
** HandicappedBadass: Lieutenant Colonel Harris after her run-in with the Liberty

* BerserkerTears: Wolf near the end.

* CombatPragmatist: Wolf seems to be known for this in-universe, though Tulio takes some credit for using a streetlight as a makeshift lance.

* RedBaron: Apocalypse Soldier Alexander Brukov, Cyborg Samurai Condor, Speed Lord Meteorite and Black Hammond.

* TemptingFate: [[spoiler:Wolf assuring Blaze that she was still there with them]]

** TheChick/TheMedic: Blaze Belgarde

** BadassGay: Caruso [[spoiler:until [[BuryYourGays he dies]]]]

* TheDreaded: Dragons in general seem to make people especially scared, though Brukov just being nearby is terrifying for the Guild. On their side though is Sylvester Kite, a man who makes the hornets, emotion suppressed cyborgs, run in fear of.
* DualWielding: Wolf's MO. He even has two extra as backups.

* HarsherInHindsight: Luna's comment in Wyvern Diary about Wolf crying himself to sleep.

* MagnificentBastard: Alexander Brukov, leader of Apex. Talks down Damian Wolf into doubting his strength but gives him a sporting opportunity to escape. However, he just sends hornets after them anyway when they prove to be to weak to get back. It's also heavily implied that he planned the [[spoiler:fire bombing that trapped the Guild soldiers]] and set the bait leading them there. His status as the greatest soldier doesn't hurt.
* OneManArmy: Sylvester Kite drops elite cyborgs in a single hit, Black Hammond throws crowds of men around like ragdolls and members of the Dragoon Unit can each individually annihilate opposing armies.

* ChildSoldiers: [[spoilers:The Dragoons are piloted by four children hopped up on performance enhancing combat drugs that make them lose all empathy and inhibitions.]]
