1----
2!!Rusty
3
4The main protagonist of ''VideoGame/SteamWorldDig''
5----
6* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:His actual fate in the sequel was being strapped to Rosie's mecha and being used as a living battery. Good thing Dot came after him!]]
7* TheQuietOne: Fits this more than being a true SilentProtagonist, as he ''does'' speak twice in the game: During the intro cutscene, and during the cutscene before battling Voltbot. [[spoiler:He keeps talking in the sequel, even if he's really weak at that point.]]
8* ScarfOfAsskicking: [[RedIsHeroic A red one]], and he lives up to the asskicking part when he [[spoiler:storms Vectron.]] [=NPCs=] in the second game even mention his scarf when talking about him.
9* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: Seems to have undergone this, if [=NPCs=] thinking he was responsible for the earthquakes and him being worshipped by a cult as a destruction god are any indication. Maybe [[spoiler:Vectron]] got to him after all... [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Just kidding,]] Rusty's still a good guy, as he was actually trying to keep the earthquakes from getting even ''worse''.]]
10
11!!Dorothy
12
13A citizen of Tumbleton, and the main protagonist of ''Steam World Dig 2''.
14----
15%%* GirlishPigtails
16* InSeriesNickname: Dot.
17* LittleMissBadass: Seems fairly young for a steambot, but is more than capable of trekking across the sequel's worlds, smashing monsters' heads with a pickaxe, and [[spoiler:destroying a mech suit piloted by a Shiner with Rusty strapped to the front]].
18* PromotedToPlayable: Was not playable in the first game, but is the focus of the sequel.
19
20!!Vectron
21----
22* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler: Seeks to lure steambots from the surface by using upgrades to tempt them further down, and then absorb their minds and the information within to grant itself the ability to overtake the surface.]]
23* BigBad: Of the first game, [[spoiler:and of the series as a whole, due to his roles in ''Dig 2'', ''Heist'' and ''Quest''.]]
24* BlackSpeech: Most characters talking merely have soft, processed grumbles or babbles. This makes the ear-splitting, bitcrushed roaring he emits when he speaks all the more jarring.
25* CyberCyclops: Has one [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eye]] from which he fires EyeBeams.
26* EvilIsDeathlyCold: The areas he controls are described as and colored to look cold as ice.
27* FlunkyBoss: Will often deploy drones to defend himself.
28%%* InCaseOfBossFightBreakGlass
29* MechanicalAbomination: [[spoiler: It is, putting its operation into human terms, a soul-stealing subterranean monstrosity that has long since outgrown its original purpose.]]
30* ShieldedCoreBoss: Tends to take this form whenever fought as an opponent, since his central components are often either small or unable to defend themselves directly.
31* ShockAndAwe: In contrast to the other robots, he is powered by electricity rather than steam.
32* WalkingSpoiler: Has little to no foreshadowing before he appears.
33* WeCanRuleTogether: Attempts to do this with Rusty. It doesn't work.

35
36!!The Yonker Family
37
38Ma Yonker, and her children Mic, Luke, Josh, and Zebulon, are citizens of Tumbleton.
