| 11 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Heroic Crimestrikers Leader''']] |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The creator and leader of the Crimestrikers, Diana is a red fox who organized the team in response to the mass escape from the Quarry. |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * AntagonisticOffspring: One of her [[ArchEnemy arch enemies]] is her father Walter. Considering that Walter murdered his wife Vanessa (Diana's mother), then compounded the crime by joining Outrage, it's very understandable. |
| 16 | * BadassLongcoat: She wears a trenchcoat on the cover of the game book, and its lower half is even shown [[DramaticWind fluttering behind her]]. |
| 17 | * BrainyBrunette: She leads an elite crimefighting organization, and she has brown hair. |
| 18 | * CunningLikeAFox: She's every bit Vance's equal when it comes to plotting and [[TheStrategist strategizing]]. |
| 19 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Combined with BreakTheCutie. First, her mother and one of her suitors die, then she learns that they were murdered by her father and her other suitor! |
| 20 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 21 | ** A rich kid who suffers a traumatic parental loss via murder, then becomes a super-competent crimefighter to protect others? Yes, Diana is influenced by Franchise/{{Batman}}, although the details of her life are a closer match to the ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse title ''Bruce Wayne, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' |
| 22 | ** Being an anthro fox who joined an international law enforcement agency out of a fierce desire to fight for justice makes her very similar to [[Franchise/SlyCooper Carmelita Fox.]] |
| 23 | * TheFace: She's the Crimestrikers' best-known member, and also the group's representative when they need to interact with the media or the general public. |
| 24 | * FreakOut: How she first reacts after learning the truth about Walter and Vance. Once she recovers, she consciously decides to become a different, stronger person. |
| 25 | * ImportantHaircut: She had longer hair when she was still a naive, sheltered young woman. Cutting it was part of her transformation into the crimefighter she is today. |
| 26 | * ItsPersonal: Her major enemies are her father and her former fiancee, both of whom murdered people she loved. |
| 27 | * TheLeader: The team was her idea, and she keeps its disparate personalities working together. She's both the Charismatic and the Levelheaded. |
| 28 | * MadLibsCatchphrase: Early in her CIPO career, she caught a criminal who was threatening to shoot [[HostageSituation hostages]], then proclaimed "No one's shooting anyone today!". As this incident made her reputation as a crimefighter and underwent MemeticMutation InUniverse, "No one's (verb)ing anyone today!" has been more or less forced on her as a catchphrase. |
| 29 | * MissingMom: The death of her mother Vanessa, as well as the way it happened, led to her joining CIPO and forming the Crimestrikers. |
| 30 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: At first, she considers herself the only person who can take on Vance and Walter, but she loses this attitude after surrounding herself with the best crimefighters on Creaturia. |
| 31 | * TheProtagonist: She's the series' main character, and the only one who appears in all the stories. |
| 32 | * TookALevelInBadass: Once she was a naive teenager, but the tragedy she's endured (and her desire to prevent such suffering in others) motivated her to join CIPO, toughen up both physically and psychologically, and become one of their best agents. |
| 33 | * TrainingFromHell: Standard for all Crimestrikers, but the book specifies that Diana "underwent brutal training". |

| 36 | [[folder:Hendrik Alquist]] |
| 37 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_hendrik_alquist_by_jon_kemerer.jpg]] |
| 38 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Tough, Relentless Tracker''']] |
| 39 | |
| 40 | An arctic fox from rural Norden, Hendrik became a big city cop by accident -- a decision that wound up propelling him into the Crimestrikers. |
| 41 | ---- |
| 42 | * BoisterousBruiser: Most of the Crimestrikers try to engage their enemies peacefully, but Hendrik has no problem mixing it up when the villains attack him. |
| 43 | * CountryMouse: He hails from a small rural village. |
| 44 | * CunningLikeAFox: Not to the same extent as Diana or Vance, but he's good enough at his job to qualify as a GeniusBruiser. |
| 45 | * DoggedNiceGuy: A variation on the Low-Key Yearning variety. He's in love with Diana (and vice versa), but she doesn't feel ready for a relationship because she's still recovering from the way Vance used her. Hendrik realizes this and is prepared to wait until Diana reaches out to him. |
| 46 | * ScarilyCompetentTracker: His major skill. "He's patient, persistent, and observant enough to pick up on clues most people would miss." Overlaps with SherlockScan. |
| 47 | * SexyScandinavian: The Creaturian equivalent. Norden is a FantasyCounterpartCulture to the Scandinavian countries, and he's a handsome and muscular dude. |
| 48 | * SmallTownBoredom: He found life in his native village "dull and ordinary", so he went to Mount Skypeak, the nearest big city, for excitement. BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor, Hendrik! |
| 49 | * WelcomeToTheBigCity: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]] as part of his BackStory. Soon after Hendrik arrived in Mount Skypeak, a mugger tried to steal all his stuff. He chased the criminal down, got his possessions back, and took the crook to the police. He then realized that police work could be ''fun'' as well as important, so he got on the force -- and the rest is history. |

| 52 | [[folder:Esperanza Sixtos]] |
| 53 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_esperanza_sixtos_by_derek_van_deusen.jpg]] |
| 54 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Eccentric Genius Inventor''']] |
| 55 | |
| 56 | A brilliant, lovably kooky chinchilla who creates much of the Crimestrikers' futuristic equipment and vehicles. |
| 57 | ---- |
| 58 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: She has purple fur. JustifiedTrope since some chinchillas actually have violet fur, but not as brightly colored as hers. |
| 59 | * BadassBookworm: She's more of a scientist than a warrior, but she's a competent fighter when she needs to be. |
| 60 | * BrainyBrunette: She's a genius inventor with black hair. |
| 61 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Not as much as Diana, but she comes from a poor (albeit loving) family. Also, Dolores Dedmond's [[FalseFriend betrayal]] hurt her badly, although she pities Dolores due to the rattlesnake's own Dark and Troubled Past. |
| 62 | * {{Expy}}: Series creator Tropers/MarkLungo took elements of her personality from [[Series/{{Mythbusters}} Adam Savage]], [[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers Gadget Hackwrench]] and [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]]. (There are also similarities with Jillian Holtzmann, but Esperanza had already been created by the time ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 2016}}'' was released.) |
| 63 | * FunPersonified: Quoting the game book, "Esperanza is ''fun''. She's friendly, optimistic, compassionate, has a great sense of humor ([[SelfDeprecation especially about herself]]), and is determined [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers not to become cynical]] despite facing Creaturia's worst criminals on a regular basis." Overlaps with {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and GenkiGirl. |
| 64 | * GadgeteerGenius: She's invented (or helped to invent) Crimestrikers gadgets such as the Shrinksphere and Scanscope, as well as vehicles such as the Buzzsaw. |
| 65 | * HomemadeInventions: She got her start by building these in school, showing that her mechanical abilities are a lifelong interest. |
| 66 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Her usual attire is a labcoat, which she wears to remind people that [[ForScience science is awesome]] and can be used for good as well as bad. |
| 67 | * LoonWithAHeartOfGold: She's eccentric and a little goofy, but she's also one of the nicest characters in the story. |
| 68 | * MeaningfulAppearance: Has a white streak in her hair shaped like a lightning bolt. Esperanza wears it because "it's cool and it represents ''[[ForScience science]]!''" |
| 69 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: Her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies sometimes convince her enemies that they don't need to worry about her. Then they see that she's ''really'' good at her job, and knows how to fight as well. By the time she captures them, [[BewareTheSillyOnes they know enough to take her seriously]]. |
| 70 | * ScienceHero: She knows that science is a powerful but morally neutral force, and she strongly believes in using its power for good, unlike her {{Evil Counterpart}}s Dolores Dedmond and Roderick Norco. |
| 71 | * ThouShaltNotKill: She [[EnforcedTrope enforces this trope]] by creating only [[NonLethalWarfare non-lethal weaponry]]. |
| 72 | * TranquilFury: In "A Thing Called Esperanza", this is her reaction when she confronts Roderick Norco, who had created a EvilDoppelganger of her that attacked her friends. Norco, who realizes how [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out of character]] this is for the usually cheerful Esperanza, becomes afraid of her as a result. |
| 73 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: She was friendly with Dolores Dedmond when they attended Harbortech together, but that ended when she learned that Dolores had been EvilAllAlong. |
| 74 | * WrenchWench: Goes with her other skills. She began this trope early, making money by fixing peoples' broken appliances while in grade school. |

| 77 | [[folder:Jeff "Top" Ranking]] |
| 78 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_jeff_top_ranking_by_cindy_ramey_basic_version.jpg]] |
| 79 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Daring Sky Fighter''']] |
| 80 | |
| 81 | The Crimestrikers' skyfighting specialist, this bold, brash bird grew up in a poor neighborhood of Tamessa, the Creaturian equivalent of UsefulNotes/{{London}}. |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | * AwesomeEgo: He's a great cop, and he knows it, and he makes sure the world knows it too. He even gave himself the SelfAppliedNickname "Top", which he's never gotten anyone else to use.[[note]]It's a ShoutOut to Althea & Donna's 1977 {{Reggae}} hit "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptown_Top_Ranking Uptown Top Ranking]]".[[/note]] Fortunately for him, he's skilled enough to live up to his own hype -- and charming enough to get away with it. |
| 84 | * BirdPeople: Specifically, he's an anthropomorphic common kestrel. |
| 85 | * DeadpanSnarker: While ''Crimestrikers'' is set in a WorldOfSnark, witty remarks are one of Jeff's specialties. |
| 86 | * {{Expy}}: He's based on (of all people) Music/JohnLennon, "with whom he shares the [[WorkingClassHero working-class upbringing]], the [[DeadpanSnarker cutting wit]] that can [[{{Jerkass}} become biting]], the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold underlying decency]], and the [[InterspeciesRomance romance]] with [[Music/YokoOno someone from a radically different background]]". |
| 87 | * HeroicLineage: Sort of. He was inspired to go into law enforcement by tales of his medieval ancestor Gavin Ranking, who fought the evil forces of King Krulis. |
| 88 | * InterspeciesRomance: His relationship with Donacina is the series' most prominent example. |
| 89 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The book states that "Jeff is a little ''too'' [[{{Pride}} proud]] of his accomplishments and can be abrasive, but he has a keen mind and a caring heart." |
| 90 | * ToiletHumor: He's the one who [[FunWithAcronyms suggested]] that the Crimestrikers be named '''F'''ast '''A'''ction '''R'''esponse '''T'''eam. |
| 91 | * WorkingClassHero: His childhood poverty has inspired him to [[HatesRichPeople resent rich people]], although he respects Diana since she's turned her back on her wealth to risk her life as a CIPO agent. |
| 92 | [[/folder]] |
| 93 | |
| 94 | [[folder:Donacina]] |
| 95 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_donacina_by_cindy_ramey.jpg]] |
| 96 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Dedicated Sea-Surface Emissary''']] |
| 97 | |
| 98 | This young Hydreran is not only the Crimestrikers' underwater specialist, but strives to be a role model for peaceful relations between her people and the surface world. |
| 99 | ---- |
| 100 | * {{Determinator}}: From childhood, she was a WideEyedIdealist who was fascinated by the surface world (which was then off limits) and determined to help forge a lasting peace between Hydrera and the landers. Now, she has a better grasp of how difficult this will be due to lasting prejudice on both sides, but she will ''never'' give up. |
| 101 | * {{Expy}}: She was inspired by Gill Girl, a minor RecurringCharacter from the 2003 ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' comic book (who was in turn inspired by the Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon). |
| 102 | * FishPeople: She's the most prominent example in the series, as well as one of Hydrera's best-known emissaries to the land-dwellers. |
| 103 | * ForeignCultureFetish: She knows almost as much about the land dwellers' various cultures as her own. |
| 104 | * HunterOfHerOwnKind: Sort of. In her OriginStory, she made her first trip to the surface to warn CIPO that Rasavanto was about to attack Bonita Harbor. Since then, she's helped the Crimestrikers fight their entire RoguesGallery, but Rasavanto (along with the forces of PARCH) remains her ArchEnemy. |
| 105 | * InnocentBlueEyes: They emphasize her idealistic devotion to creating peace between Hydrera and the surface world. |
| 106 | * InterspeciesRomance: As noted, with [[BirdPeople bird person]] Jeff "Top" Ranking. |
| 107 | * MeaningfulName: It's an [[UsefulNotes/EsperantoTheUniversalLanguage Esperanto]] {{Portmanteau}} word meaning "little gift". |
| 108 | * OnlyOneName: As usual with Hydrerans, she doesn't have a surname. |
| 109 | * SoapboxSadie: While she's usually a NiceGirl, if someone presses one of her {{Berserk Button}}s she can go into lecture mode. Fortunately, she always snaps back to normal and apologizes. |
| 110 | * StopBeingStereotypical: Her advice to Rasavanto and his followers, since all Hydrerans suffer because of their actions. |
| 111 | * UnderwaterCity: She hails from Sharaneda, the capital of Hydrera, a ShiningCity that combines the best of surface and ocean culture. |
| 112 | [[/folder]] |

| 114 | !Additional Crimestrikers |
| 115 | |
| 116 | These are most of the {{Sixth Ranger}}s who joined the team after it had been established. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | [[folder:Nyx Marama]] |
| 119 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_nyx_marama_drawn_by_alishka_jolitz_colored_by_rick_yurko.jpg]] |
| 120 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Night Operations Expert''']] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | A white-furred bat who works primarily at night, when her skills are most useful. She also helped form the subteam Operation Overnight. |
| 123 | ---- |
| 124 | * BatPeople: A six-limbed example, since (as with all Creaturian bats and birds) her wings are separate from her arms. |
| 125 | * BioluminescenceIsCool: Combined with PowerGlows. Thanks to experiments conducted on her as a child, she has the power to make her body (or part of it) glow in the dark for up to [[HourOfPower an hour at a time]]. She's also learned to use it to create an attack called the Thunderflash, "a momentary blinding glow accompanied by an intense ultra-sonic noise, that can startle, stun and confuse an enemy." |
| 126 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She was one of several children who were genetically engineered by Roderick Norco in his first attempt to create {{Super Soldier}}s, and the only one who grew up healthy with her power intact. (The other survivors either got sick or were BroughtDownToNormal.) Like the rest, she spent most of her time as a HumanPopsicle. Finally, she broke herself and the others out, helped bring their captors to justice, was HappilyAdopted, and decided the best way to use her skills was to join CIPO. |
| 127 | * DesignerBabies: She's a product of genetic engineering. |
| 128 | * HandyFeet: She can use her feet to pick up objects while she's flying. |
| 129 | * MeaningfulName: "Nyx" is Greek for "night", and "Marama" is Maori for "light". |
| 130 | * NiceGirl: According to the gamebook, "[Nyx] is so kind and gentle that someone once told her 'You’re too ''nice'' to be a Crimestriker!'" |
| 131 | * SonicStunner: Her weapon, the Sound Sleeper, is a non-lethal weapon that knocks people out. |
| 132 | * StealthExpert: Her primary skill. Includes the ability to fly silently for sneak attacks. |

| 135 | [[folder:G.T. Overley]] |
| 136 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_gt_overley_by_cindy_ramey.jpg]] |
| 137 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''High-Speed Pursuit Specialist''']] |
| 138 | |
| 139 | The Crimestrikers' vehicular expert, a blond raccoon who can drive and repair anything on wheels -- including her own creation, an [[CoolBike enclosed motorcycle-like speed machine]] called the Rapid Pulse. |
| 140 | ---- |
| 141 | * BadassDriver: Okay, her actual title is "High-Speed Pursuit Specialist", but this is what she does. She's an expert driver who can chase down any villain on the road, without endangering civilians. |
| 142 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: The book notes that "G.T. is laid-back and easygoing -- but when she deals with villains, [[GoodIsNotSoft she's all business]]." |
| 143 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: She's OnlyKnownByInitials, in this case G.T., which stands for "Gretchen Tallulah". She stopped going by that name after her classmates started calling her "[[EmbarrassingNickname Retchin' Gretchen]]". |
| 144 | * NiceGirl: The book describes her as "a kind person with a loving, giving spirit". |
| 145 | * TheNicknamer: She gives her friends affectionate nicknames such as "sweet thing". |
| 146 | * RascallyRaccoon: She's a raccoon and a ReformedCriminal. |
| 147 | * ReformedCriminal: As a teenager, she was so fascinated with cars that she stole several of them -- "not to keep, just to drive!" The law didn't see the distinction, and after a stay in juvie she did a HeelFaceTurn and started using her skills as a police mechanic and driver. |
| 148 | * SignificantMonogram: Her initials are GTO, as in "Gran Turismo Omologato", a popular kind of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_tourer high-performance luxury car]] -- very appropriate for a character with her skill set. |
| 149 | * SpiritedCompetitor: She enjoys friendly competitions with the other Crimestrikers: "You think you can do more sit-ups than me? You're on!" Fortunately, she's a good sport and a GracefulLoser. |
| 150 | * SupremeChef: Her home cooking is actually delicious. |
| 151 | * SweetHomeAlabama: She comes from the Creaturian equivalent, being a backwoods girl with a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents southern accent]]. |
| 152 | * WrenchWench: A necessary skill for a vehicular specialist. She's an expert mechanic as well as an expert driver. |

| 156 | [[quoteright:289:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_darian_dx_xenos_by_cindy_ramey_1.jpg]] |
| 157 | [[caption-width-right:289:'''Master of Communications Technology''']] |
| 158 | |
| 159 | An autistic mouse who serves as the Crimestrikers' communications expert and all-around techie. |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * UsefulNotes/{{Autism}}: He was diagnosed with it as a child, which relieved both him and his parents since it explained his awkward, withdrawn behavior. He went into the communications field because he reasoned that until he learned to talk with people, at least he could help them talk with each other. He says that he wants to become "Creaturia's first autistic ActionHero." |
| 162 | * BadassBookworm: Fighting doesn't come naturally to him, but he's learning. {{Lampshaded}} when the book relates a NoodleIncident in which Dolores Dedmond attacks him and he actually beats her. |
| 163 | * CommunicationsOfficer: His primary function on the team is to monitor the field agents and give them whatever info they need. |
| 164 | * GadgeteerGenius: His secondary duty is helping Esperanza and the group's other gearheads with the latest equipment. He collaborated with Ranza on the Scanscope and Bio Beacon, among other things. |
| 165 | * MissionControl: He coordinates the Crimestrikers' communications and doesn't go out in the field quite as often as his teammates. |
| 166 | * NiceMice: He's a mouse, he's one of the heroes, and he's surprisingly friendly considering his ongoing social problems. |
| 167 | * NoSocialSkills: He started out this way, and he still misses the occasional social cue, but he's steadily improved throughout his life thanks to lots of hard work. |
| 168 | * PungeonMaster: The book says that he "loves to make his friends [[LamePunReaction groan]] with his terrible puns." |
| 169 | * SignificantMonogram: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXing DXing]] is a broadcasting term for making contact (either one-way or two-way) with distant stations. |

| 173 | [[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimestrikers_ade_khumalo_with_brown_eyes_by_cindy_ramey.jpg]] |
| 174 | [[caption-width-right:330:'''Courageous Crime Scene Investigator''']] |
| 175 | |
| 176 | A middle-aged lion who's an experienced cop and forensic scientist, Ade is something of a mentor to his younger colleagues. |
| 177 | ---- |
| 178 | * BadassInANiceSuit: It's more of a rumpled suit, but it's what he usually wears. |
| 179 | * CoolOldGuy: Technically, he's just on "the wrong side of 40", but the other Crimestrikers draw on his wisdom and experience. |
| 180 | * CopAndScientist: A SubvertedTrope, because Ade is both a police officer ''and'' a forensic scientist. |
| 181 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: When he was growing up, a gang called the Invisible Kings terrorized his neighborhood, singling out his family for beatings and persecution because they refused to be intimidated. He joined the force specifically to bring them down -- and for an encore, he helped Ray Hiltebrand destroy Alvar Coffin's version of Outrage. |
| 182 | * KingOfBeasts: He's an anthro lion ''and'' the respected senior field agent in an elite team of international crimefighters. |
| 183 | * MeaningfulName: Ade means "crown" or "royal"[[note]]a nod to the KingOfBeasts trope[[/note]], while Khumalo is the name of an ancient UsefulNotes/{{South Africa}}n clan[[note]]Ade is from Ikapa, Azania, the Creaturian [[FantasyCounterpartCulture equivalent]] of Cape Town[[/note]]. |
| 184 | * OldCopYoungCop: He's the (relatively) old cop on a team of younger cops. |
| 185 | * TalkingToPlants: He's a self-described "amateur environmentalist" who always has at least one plant in his office, and yes, he'll occasionally talk to them. |
| 186 | * TameHisAnger: The abuse young Ade and his family received from the Invisible Kings left him seething with rage, fear and guilt, but kindly adults helped him cope with his negative emotions and channel them constructively. Now, he helps his teammates (especially Diana) when they have similar problems. |

| 191 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Last of the Frontier Era Crimefighters''']] |
| 192 | |
| 193 | A crimefighting coyote from Freeland's Frontier Era (the Creaturian equivalent to TheWildWest), Audrey was accidentally transported to ThePresentDay, where she soon joined the Crimestrikers. |
| 194 | ---- |
| 195 | * AntiquatedLinguistics: She uses them occasionally. A JustifiedTrope due to her being a FishOutOfTemporalWater. |
| 196 | * ArchEnemy: Notorious {{Outlaw}} "Tombstone Tom" Thornfield. Unfortunately for both Audrey and Creaturia in general, the two of them were brought into the present together. |
| 197 | * BadassInANiceSuit: As shown in her portrait, one of her outfits features a formal vest and necktie, albeit without the jacket. |
| 198 | * BalladOfX: She's the subject of "The Ballad of Audrey Claymore", a song about her life. |
| 199 | * BattleBolas: In the present, her weapon is the Bolanator, "which launches a giant bola that ensnares villains". |
| 200 | * BrainyBrunette: She's an expert crimefighter with dark brown hair. |
| 201 | * CatchingUpOnHistory: Since she re-entered Creaturian society more than a century after she left it, she's got a lot to learn about the modern world. The other Crimestrikers help her with this. |
| 202 | * DoesntLikeGuns: She has a personal distaste for firearms after seeing their effects up close, but she can use them when she has to. |
| 203 | * EvilKnockoff: In "Museum of Madness", PARCH creates {{Killer Robot}}s disguised as statues of Creaturian historical figures, including Audrey Claymore. And yes, the real Audrey winds up fighting her evil robot double. |
| 204 | * FamedInStory: As one of the best-known heroes of The Frontier Era, Audrey's life has been chronicled and fictionalized many times. |
| 205 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: The only heroic example in the story. She vanished during The Frontier Era, then returned in an era that resembles a more advanced version of the early 21st century. |
| 206 | * HoverBike: In the present, she rides a hovercycle called the Prairie Protector. |
| 207 | * LivingLegend: Audrey was already one in her own time, and her presence in the modern world has made her even more famous. She frequently deals with scientists, historians and reporters who want a piece of her. |
| 208 | * OvertOperative: She's never had a choice but to be one. During The Frontier Era, she was one of the few women in law enforcement; today, she's a LivingLegend. She turns her fame to her advantage whenever possible. |
| 209 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both her parents died when she was young. |
| 210 | * PerpetualFrowner: Understandable, considering that she was often lonely and depressed in her own time, and is currently dealing with the loss of everything and everyone she's ever known. Which makes the occasions WhenSheSmiles all the more precious. |
| 211 | * TheSheriff: She served as one in her hometown of Vistella before becoming a federal agent. |
| 212 | * SoapboxSadie: A positive example, as she uses her fame to "speak out in an honest, direct manner on the causes she believes in." |
| 213 | * StayInTheKitchen: During The Frontier Era, she dealt with this attitude on a regular basis, as many men felt women had no business risking their lives in crimefighting. However, she usually managed to overcome such sexist opposition with her extraordinary skills. |
| 214 | * ThoseWilyCoyotes: She's an anthro coyote and a cunning crimefighter. |

| 221 | A rabbit who started out as a burglar, ConArtist and industrial spy until an encounter with the Crimestrikers caused her to rethink her life -- and ultimately join the team. |
| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * BrainyBrunette: An expert (former) criminal with dark hair. |
| 224 | * ConArtist: Her primary skill, one that serves her well as a Crimestriker. |
| 225 | * ConMenHateGuns: She prefers trickery and/or [[TalkingYourWayOut talking her way out]] to violence, and will run away from a fight when she can, although she can throw down when she has to. |
| 226 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She grew up poor in Windfall City, where she became a petty crook to help her family -- especially after her parents were murdered by gangsters. |
| 227 | * GuileHero: Her specialty is using SocialEngineering to trick her opponents into defeat. |
| 228 | * HeroicSacrifice: She almost dies while destroying the Terrorcaster, which convinces the skeptical Ade that her HeelFaceTurn is genuine. |
| 229 | * HoverBike: She rides a hovercycle called the Trixter for quick getaways. |
| 230 | * JustLikeRobinHood: Even when she was a criminal, she was a KarmicThief who [[PayEvilUntoEvil Paid Evil Unto Evil]] by focusing on {{Asshole Victim}}s. |
| 231 | * LovableRogue: Both before and after joining the Crimestrikers. |
| 232 | * MeaningfulName: She's a ReformedCriminal who has the syllables "trix" (tricks) and "con" in her name. Also, "Beatrix" is a reference to Creator/BeatrixPotter, who wrote ''Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit''. |
| 233 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction when the Crimestrikers tell her that she's unknowingly helping Rasavanto create the Terrorcaster, a deadly PhlebotinumBomb. It leads directly to her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 234 | * RascallyRabbit: She starts out as one of these. |
| 235 | * ReformedCriminal[=/=]RighteousRabbit: What she becomes after her HeelFaceTurn. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in that she still uses her criminal skills, only in service to the government. |
| 236 | * ThouShaltNotKill: This was part of her moral code as a criminal. Since it's also part of the Crimestrikers' ethos, she fits into the team surprisingly well. |
| 237 | * YouKilledMyFather: Her BackStory mentions that she brought her parents' killers to justice. |

| 243 | |
| 244 | A dragon who Roderick Norco cobbles together from the DNA of the original Creaturian dragons, who were [[FinalSolution hunted to extinction]] a thousand years ago. She rebels against her evil creator and chooses to become a Crimestriker. |
| 245 | ---- |
| 246 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: One of the major reasons she joins the Crimestrikers is because they befriend her and treat her well, unlike the abusive, mean-spirited Dr. Norco. |
| 247 | * BoisterousBruiser: She enjoys a good fight, but she doesn't always get one, because... |
| 248 | ** VictoryThroughIntimidation: Some villains find her so intimidating that they surrender the moment they see her! |
| 249 | * BornAsAnAdult: How Norco created her. |
| 250 | * BrainyBrunette: She has dark brown hair and is [[SmarterThanYouLook smarter than she looks]]. |
| 251 | * BreathWeapon: Yes, she can [[PlayingWithFire breathe fire]]. However, she will ''never'' use this ability on living things, not that the Crimestrikers would ever ask her to. |
| 252 | * CoolSword: She wields one in her portrait. |
| 253 | * DelightfulDragon: DownplayedTrope. As noted below, she's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but she means well and she's definitely one of the good guys. |
| 254 | * DesignerBabies: As noted, Norco built her out of dragon DNA retrieved from historical artifacts. |
| 255 | * DraconicHumanoid[=/=]WingedHumanoid: Like all Creaturian dragons. |
| 256 | * FriendToAllChildren: Her gentle, compassionate side always emerges when she interacts with "the wee ones". |
| 257 | * GeneticMemory: She carries the memories of the dragons she was created from, some of which are more pleasant than others. |
| 258 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all her aggression, she has a good heart, and she's capable of great kindness. Her teammates encourage her to emphasize the "heart of gold" side of her personality over the "jerk" side. |
| 259 | * LastOfHerKind: InvertedTrope. She's the only one of her kind, at least for now. However, she might become the ''first'' of a new race of dragons, who will be created if the Creaturian Council agrees to it. |
| 260 | * OneNameOnly: As usual with Creaturian dragons. |
| 261 | * RebelliousSpirit: Norco's emotional abuse has left her wary of being controlled or manipulated by either friend or foe. This doesn't help her when she deals with the Creaturian Council, especially when she tries to convince them to make more dragons. |
| 262 | * SuperSoldier: Norco intended her to be the first in a force of dragon warriors who would serve Outrage. It didn't work out for him. |
| 263 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Norco was surprised when Arcana decided that she would not be used as a tool for evil. |
| 264 | * ViolentGlaswegian: She has the temper and [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents the accent]], although her CharacterDevelopment has her evolving into a BraveScot. |

| 271 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Sinister Leader of Outrage''']] |
| 272 | |
| 273 | The major villain of ''Crimestrikers'', this red fox is the only surviving child of Outrage's former leader, Alvar Coffin. He was in the process of revitalizing the international crime syndicate until he met his match in Diana, who sent him to the Quarry, but this turned out to be just a temporary setback. Now he's returned with a goal so audacious and world-changing that only his closest associates know the truth... |
| 274 | ---- |
| 275 | * AntagonisticOffspring: One thing he has in common with his ArchEnemy Diana is going to war with an evil father. Alvar killed a woman Vance had fallen in love with (and [[FrameUp framed]] a rival crime boss, who Vance soon killed, for the murder) to maintain his hold over his son. Once Vance learned the truth, it gave him extra motivation for the {{Patricide}} that followed. |
| 276 | * BigBad: Not only is he the most powerful villain in the series, but he planned the GreatEscape from the Quarry that started the plot. |
| 277 | * TheChessmaster: He always has several plots going on simultaneously, most of which are distractions from what he's ''really'' planning. |
| 278 | * ConsummateLiar: Using this skill, along with his charming manner, he fooled pretty much everyone he encountered until Diana learned the truth about him. |
| 279 | * CulturedBadass: He's well-versed in Creaturian culture and history, and while he rarely fights, he's absolutely vicious in battle. |
| 280 | * EveryScarHasAStory: During their fight at their near-wedding, Diana left Vance with a facial scar. He keeps it to remind himself how dangerous Diana is -- and because Dolores Dedmond thinks it's sexy. |
| 281 | * EvilGenius: He's a highly intelligent [[TheStrategist strategist]] who took over an international crime sydicate and made it a bigger threat than ever. Overlaps with CunningLikeAFox. |
| 282 | * FoulFox: He's a cunning fox who uses his intelligence for evil. |
| 283 | * GodhoodSeeker: His ultimate goal is to turn himself and his trusted allies into nearly immortal pseudo-gods by using a KillSat to harvest the LifeEnergy from most of the population of Creaturia. |
| 284 | * ManipulativeBastard: He's very skilled in getting the people around him to do what he wants. |
| 285 | * MarriageOfConvenience: The main reason he wanted to marry Diana was to solidify the connection between Outrage and Mastron Technologies. Any feelings he had for her were secondary to his ultimate goal. |
| 286 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: In the {{Backstory}}, Vance and another fox named Blaine Turney both wanted to marry Diana. Vance solved the problem by killing Blaine. |
| 287 | * {{Patricide}}: Combined with KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil and KlingonPromotion. [[AbusiveParents Abusive dad]] Alvar pitted his children against each other to see which one would be most qualified to take control of Outrage. Vance won the competition by killing his siblings ''and'' his father, although his desire to avenge his murdered girlfriend was another motivation. |
| 288 | * SharpDressedMan: He's always seen wearing expensive tailored suits. |
| 289 | * TheSociopath: The book describes him as "a [[TheCynic cynical]] [[StrawNihilist nihilist]] who believes that civilization is a fraud, morality is a joke and life is an endless struggle for power". |
| 290 | * WorthyOpponent: How he regards Diana. She outwitted him once, and he's determined never to lose to her again. |

| 295 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Malevolent Mastermind of Outrage''']] |
| 296 | |
| 297 | Diana's father is a red fox who was simultaneously the CEO of Mastron Technologies and a secret partner in Vance Coffin's criminal schemes. However, when Diana discovered that he'd murdered his wife Vanessa while Vance murdered Blaine Turney, she put them both in the Quarry. After the GreatEscape, Vance made Walter second in command of Outrage. |
| 298 | ---- |
| 299 | * ArchNemesisDad: He murdered his wife/Diana's mother, then joined Outrage. No wonder Diana is mad at him. |
| 300 | * ArtificialFamilyMember: One of his future plans is to create clones of Vanessa and Diana which will be more obedient and controllable than the originals. |
| 301 | * BrainUploading: If his ImmortalitySeeker plan fails, he intends to download his mind into a robot body as a last resort. |
| 302 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Even before he became a murderer, he brought Vance into Mastron Technologies -- and encouraged Diana to marry him instead of Blaine -- to strengthen the ties between his company and Outrage. |
| 303 | * CunningLikeAFox: He's very clever when it comes to running a corporation or a crime syndicate. Running a family, not so much. |
| 304 | * TheDragon: He serves as Vance's trusted advisor, financier, and [[TheConfidant confidant]]. |
| 305 | * EvilPlan: He's the instigator behind Vance's plot to attack Creaturia with the KillSat. |
| 306 | * FoulFox: Like Vance, he's as murderous and amoral as he is intelligent. |
| 307 | * FreudianExcuse: The book says that Walter is "an insecure neurotic who's haunted by the fear of loss", which motivates him to do terrible things -- and [[DramaticIrony ironically]] causes him to lose both his family and his corporate empire. |
| 308 | * GodhoodSeeker[=/=]ImmortalitySeeker: His MortalityPhobia caused him to pursue these goals before Vance, which is why he spearheaded the project to create the LET (Life Energy Transfer) device. |
| 309 | * KillThePoor: A secondary goal of his LET plan, since he regards most Creaturians as "useless eaters" who deserve to die. |
| 310 | * LikeASonToMe: He's closer to Vance than he ever was to Diana, who was so moral and innocent that he always felt compelled to hide his true nature from her. With the equally amoral Vance, he could be himself. |
| 311 | * MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: After the murders of Vanessa and Blaine, he arranged the phony car crash that was intended to hide the real cause of their deaths. |
| 312 | * OldMoney: He inherited Mastron Technologies from his father Marvin, then made it more successful than ever -- but when his crimes were exposed, its corporate charter was revoked. |
| 313 | * ParentalNeglect: He's been on both sides of this trope. Neither of his parents were interested in caring for him, and he was a cold, distant father to Diana. Fortunately, Vanessa and the family servants raised her instead of him. |

| 320 | One of Outrage's technical geniuses, a rattlesnake who specializes in creating deadly weapons to use against the Crimestrikers. |
| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * AlliterativeName: And it's even more alliterative if you include her title, which makes it '''D'''r. '''D'''olores '''D'''edmond. |
| 323 | * BrainyBrunette: A MadScientist with dark brown hair. |
| 324 | * BullyHunter: Other kids victimized her as a child, causing her to fight back. Unfortunately, the lesson she learned was that violent {{Revenge}} is a lot of fun. |
| 325 | * ChildProdigy: She [[HomemadeInventions created a homemade robot]] to stop the bullies at the orphanage. |
| 326 | * EvilCounterpart: To her former friend Esperanza Sixtos. Both of them are brilliant inventors, but Ranza uses her genius for good, while the twisted, amoral Dolores has no problem creating horrific weapons. |
| 327 | * FalseFriend: She befriended Esperanza when they were both attending Bonita Harbor Technical Institute, but only as a pretext to steal her research. |
| 328 | * {{Jerkass}}: On top of all her other negative qualities. she's egotistical and hard to get along with. |
| 329 | * MadScientist: Her creations include heavily armed weapons and vehicles as well as H.A.M.R., the first artificially intelligent robot. She's also working on the LET project. |
| 330 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Since she was expelled from Harbortech for her attempt to steal Esperanza's research, her doctorate seems to be a title she gave herself. |
| 331 | * OrphanageOfFear: She grew up in one where she was attacked by the other kids. When she fought back and came to enjoy [[{{Sadist}} the feeling of power that violence gave her]], it was her StartOfDarkness. |
| 332 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: She's a villainous snake and a generally terrible person. |
| 333 | * SnakePeople: As noted, she's a humanoid rattlesnake. Her Venomizer backpack ties into her species by spraying liquid poisons, toxins and corrosives at obstacles, including her enemies. |

| 340 | Another Outrage scientist, this grumbly goat specializes in manipulating living things through genetic engineering. Basically, he's the group's monster maker. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * BadBoss: He's not nice to his staff. When he's not being UsefulNotes/PassiveAggressive with them, he bullies them as he was once bullied himself. |
| 343 | * BullyHunter: As a youth, he was inspired by Dolores' example to become one... and as with Dolores, [[HeWhoFightsMonsters he became much worse than the kids who victimized him]]. |
| 344 | * CreateYourOwnHero: His most successful {{Super Soldier}}s, Nyx Marama and Arcana, both turned against him and joined the Crimestrikers. |
| 345 | * GeekPhysiques: He was scrawny as a teenager, which was one reason that bullies picked on him. Nowadays, he's closer to LeanAndMean. |
| 346 | * GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: It's how he turns ordinary people (and the occasional plant, tree or flower) into monsters, creates {{Super Soldier}}s (or at least tries to), produces Flexiplasm clones, etc. |
| 347 | * GruesomeGoat: ZigZaggedTrope. His appearance as a goat isn't particulary monstrous, but his actions as an evil MadScientist are. |
| 348 | * MadScientist: Besides his genetic engineering projects, he's also helping Dolores with the LET. |
| 349 | * ProfessorGuineaPig: He tested an early version of Smash on himself. After experiencing some disagreeable side effects, he decided to use other people as test subjects instead. |
| 350 | * ShoutOut: His surname is a reference to Norco, a sinister research lab from ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'' episode "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1963S1E11ItCrawledOutOfTheWoodwork It Crawled Out of the Woodwork]]". |
| 351 | * SuperSerum: His first creation, the drug called Smash. It has [[HulkingOut nasty side effects]], but he doesn't mention those to the people who take it. |
| 352 | * SuperSoldier: Creating them is his lifelong obsession. Despite his spotty track record, Vance indulges him, mostly to keep him happy when he's not working on the LET. |

| 358 | |
| 359 | A rough collie who had a ''really'' rough childhood, Kali (born Moira Kennon) grew up with an abusive criminal mother whom she was forced to kill. She became the "Crime Queen of Creaturia" before winding up in the Quarry, where Vance Coffin invited her to join Outrage and she joined in the great escape. |
| 360 | ---- |
| 361 | * AbusiveParents: Kali's mother beat her regularly, leading to her KarmicDeath. |
| 362 | * DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: InvertedTrope. Kali [[BeingEvilSucks isn't happy being a criminal]], but it's the only life she's ever known and she doesn't see a way out. |
| 363 | * DogStereotype: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] As a rough collie and master criminal, Kali is kind of [[TheAce an ace]], but she is definitely not a HeroicDog. |
| 364 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Kali's relationship with her twin sister Blythe Kennon. After their parents divorced, Blythe was lucky enough to go with their father and have a normal childhood while Moira/Kali suffered at the hands of their abusive mother. Blythe is now a nurse, and Kali tries to protect her from any consequences of having a notorious criminal in her family. Despite everything, the two of them still love each other. |
| 365 | * EvilTwin: She is one to her kind-hearted sister Blythe, a nurse who hopes to change her sister's criminal ways. |
| 366 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: In a family-friendly version of this trope, Kali spends a lot of her free time partying at nightclubs and casinos trying to bury her UsefulNotes/{{depression}}. |
| 367 | * MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: [[DontExplainTheJoke She's a collie called "Kali"]]. She gave it to herself in an attempt to protect Blythe and leave her DarkAndTroubledPast behind. |
| 368 | * MoralityPet: InvokedTrope by Blythe, who hopes to convince Kali to do a HeelFaceTurn. |
| 369 | * OutlawCouple: She's half of one with fellow gangster Willis Grubb. Alhough they often commit crimes together, their relationship is very contentious. |
| 370 | * {{Patricide}}: She pushed her mother down a flight of stairs. Unlike Vance, she was forced to do this, because her abusive mother would have killed her if [[KillingInSelfDefense she hadn't defended herself]]. |
| 371 | * TwinSwitch: Happens in the episode seed "My Sister, My Enemy", in which Blythe[[note]]''not'' Brigid, as she's [[SeriesContinuityError erroneously]] named in this section of the gamebook[[/note]] [[TheInfiltration infiltrates]] Outrage while disguised as Kali. |

His father attempted to channel Willis' aggression into a boxing career, but he discovered that he was more suited to being a criminal, where he could beat people up without any pesky rules to worry about. He's in a relationship with his boss, Kali Kilbride. |
| 379 | ---- |
| 380 | * BloodKnight: He enjoys fighting a little too much. All his life, the people around him have put him down, and violence is his way of asserting himself. |
| 381 | * BookDumb: He may be [[StreetSmart a cunning criminal]], but he never got much formal education. |
| 382 | * ConspiracyTheorist: He believes Hydrerans [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything secretly control society]], including important insititutions such as the government, the economy and the media. This is part of the reason he wants to get rid of them. |
| 383 | * CountryMouse: He sometimes feels like one of these due to his backwoods background. |

| 385 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He hates Hydrerans so much that he's joined PARCH while maintaining his membership in Outrage. Vance and Kali put up with his bigotry because he's so good at what he does. |

| 395 | |
| 396 | Formerly a Hydreran politician named Keldem, who took bribes from a crime boss named Marota, until Marota betrayed him and he found himself on the receiving end of an attack from PARCH, an anti-Hydreran terrorist movement that disfigured and nearly killed him. Feeling betrayed by the broken government he served, he faked his death and assumed the identity of Rasavanto to reenter politics and briefly became Hydrera's prime minister, then sought to conquer all of Creaturia to prove Hydrerans the superior species. He was defeated and imprisoned in The Quarry, only to later escape in the massive prison break out, swearing that he will try again to seize Creaturia for all Hydrerans. |
| 397 | ---- |
| 398 | * ArchEnemy: How he and Donacina regard each other, since she leads the Hydrerans who oppose him. However, Rasavanto would include the entire Crimestrikers team. |
| 399 | * FakingTheDead: After the near-fatal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he received from PARCH, he let Keldem "die" and re-emerged as Rasavanto. His identity has long since been exposed, but he doesn't care anymore. |
| 400 | * FishPeople: The series' second most prominent example, after the heroic Donacina. He's an amphibious humanoid and a self-appointed leader of the Hydreran people. |
| 401 | * MagicPlasticSurgery: As part of his plan to leave his Keldem identity behind, he had his voice and appearance altered when he became Rasavanto, making himself much more handsome in the process. |
| 402 | * MasterRace: He firmly sees Hydrerans as this compared to the other races of Creaturia. After all, they can breathe both air ''and'' water, which the other species can't do. |
| 403 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: Besides all the MasterRace stuff, he initiated DayOfTheJackboot during his reign as Hydrera's tyrannical leader, going to war with the surface world while persecuting his opponents (including Donacina's parents, whom he imprisoned). Also, he thinks of any Hydreran who's on friendly terms with the "[[FantasticSlurs crawlers]]" as a "[[CategoryTraitor race traitor]]". |
| 404 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Sort of. His skin is red, and so is his outfit, which has dark blue highlights. |
