19	The main character of ''Unreal Championship 2'', Anubis is a prince of the illustrios Reydi family, whose ancestors include 14 former Nakhti Emperors. Favored to win the tournament ten years ago, Anubis left on the eve of the competition. Some say he was a coward; others speculate that political scheming forced him from the tournament. He has served in the Desert Legion for over a decade, honing his combat skills and revealing none of his secrets.
20
21	In the game, he signs up for the Ascension Rites (now sponsored by the Liandri Corporation) with his friend Sobek, in order to stop Selket from becoming the Empress and thus condemning the Nakhti citizens to slavery in the hands of the Liandri Corporation.
22	----
23	!! Tropes related to him:
24	* ADayInTheLimelight: Aside of the Ascension Rites, he has his own ladder, unlocked after beating the Rites. It follows him in the aftermath of the Rites' events.
25	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Subverted. In the finals' aftermath, a Liandri officer convinces him to both resurrect [[spoiler:Selket]] via the highly expendable Necrification process and to fight in the main Tournament.
26	--> '''Liandri officer:''' ''It needn't end this way. [[spoiler:She]] needn't end this way. Not even the Nakhti emperor can afford the Necris process.''
27	--> '''Anubis:''' ''But you could... is that what you mean?''
28	--> '''Liandri officer:''' ''Exactly. You keep winning, we keep paying.''
29	--> '''Anubis:''' ''A {{deal with the devil}}.''
30	* ArrangedMarriage: Was about to get one with Selket before the events of the game, but refused.
31	* BadassBoast:
32	--> ''"For the legion!"''
33	--> ''"I fight for the Empire!"''
34	* CollisionDamage: His "Energy Burst" adrenaline combo summons an energy eruption which damages nearby enemies.
35	* DefectorFromDecadence: His reason to leave both his ArrangedMarriage with Selket and the Ascension Rites in the past.
36	--> ''"Your power-mad family arranged our marriage. But I didn't care about that. I loved you. I left the Tournament to see what you wanted more: an emperor, or a husband."''
37	* DeflectorShields: Activated using his "Repulse" adrenaline combo.
38	* FinalBoss: Of Selket's Ladder. Also, he's one in the three-way matches of Brock's and Gorge's Ladders.
39	* HealThyself: His "Heal" adrenaline combo restores half his health.
40	* MultiSlotCharacter: In addition to his Nakhti warrior appearance, he has another slot as a DLC character as "Merc Anubis", a.k.a. Imperial Guard Anubis, who's him with the same moves but a different costume.
41	* MyGreatestFailure:
42	--> ''"I've failed you once before, forefathers. Forgive me. But do not forgive their sacrilege. I will make you proud."''
43	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Nice job [[spoiler:killing your beloved for the sake of the Rites]].
44	--> ''"I was here to stop [[spoiler:her]], not to win. And now I've lost everything."''
45	* PrecisionFStrike: During the ending, to the Liandri officer, who is so impressed by it that he wants to use it in the press release.
46	--> ''"Fuck your tournament. I'm through."''
47	* TheRival: Apophis. He's, after all, the one who got Selket's affections.
48	* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: A variant. Before the quarterfinals, he's offered to join Thunder Crash, thus avoiding all the posterior drama, something he rejects because of his own mission. [[spoiler:He ends subverting this in the end]].
49	* SecretCharacter: Beat the Ascension Rites to unlock both him and his Ladder.
50	* StatusBuff: His "Warrior Spirit" adrenaline combo, combined with XRayVision.

58	----
59	!! Tropes related to her:
60	* ADayInTheLimelight: Has her own ladder. The events of her ladder happens at the same time than the Ascension Rites, straight to the final match being against [[spoiler:Anubis]].

62	* BadassBoast:
63	--> ''"They don't call me [[RedBaron the Princess of Pain]] for nothing."''
64	* BattleCouple: With Apophis. In Selket's own ladder, they're partners for a match which in the Ascension Rites is the same match the commentator proclaims they're "punishing their opponents". They never face each other in Selket's ladder, even though it's implied near the end of said ladder that [[spoiler:[[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Apophis would let himself get killed in order to see Selket get ascended as queen]]]].
65	--> '''Robot commentator''': ''Of course, all eyes are on the central arena, where Selket and her partner Apophis are punishing their opponents. Let's get back to the action.''

70	* DistractedByTheSexy: One of her taunts is her saying "Distracted by my beauty?"
71	* FinalBoss: Of the Ascension Rites.
72	* HealThyself: Her "Heal" adrenaline combo.
73	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Installed the DLC before completing the Ascension Rites? Because she has a separate DLC slot as [[spoiler:Necris Selket]].
74	* MultiSlotCharacter: In addition to her Nakhti warrior princess self, there's also "[[spoiler:Necris]] Selket" as DLC character, who's [[spoiler:her resurrected Necris self from the ending of the Ascension Rites, having Necris race moves instead of Nakhti race moves, in addition to her personal {{Flash\|Step}} ability]].
75	* RedBaron: "The Princess of Pain".
76	--> ''"They call me princess of pain for a reason."''
77	* StatusBuff: Her "Warrior Spirit" adrenaline combo, combined with XRayVision.
78	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Probably intentional to her enemies, given her taunt line "Distracted by my beauty?"

80	* ThisCannotBe:
81	--> ''"You cannot! This is not happening!"''

83	--> ''"I knew you would give me a challenge."''

87	--> ''"Look upon your new Empress!"''
88	--> ''"Not fast enough, [[spoiler:jackal]]."''

103	* ADayInTheLimelight: Has his own ladder.

126
127	Selket's new boyfriend, he's the scion of a powerful royal family. He's idolized throughout the land for his sports talents, not to mention his jawdropping beauty. His good looks are so heavily insured that the underwriting company requires him to wear a full-face helmet in the tournament.

130	* BattleCouple: With Selket, though we never fight with or against both of them at the same time.
131	* BerserkButton: Don't even try to say anything bad about Selket in his presence. Even more if your name is Anubis.

154	[[folder:Szalor and Torgr]]
155	[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/szaltorg_5270.jpg]]
156	--> ''[[EqualOpportunityEvil "We subjugate all inferior races, not just humans."]]''
157	-->-- '''To Malcolm in the pre-match intro to ''"Lambs To The Slaughter"''.'''
158
159	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RicSpiegel (Szalor)
160
161	Years ago, the Torgr tribe, led by the brutal Torgr himself, murdered Szalor's clan, and those who were left were made slaves. Szalor tried to die fighting his captors and thus regain a small measure of honor, but he only impressed the Torgr with his ferocity. The Torgr, for this reason, entered Szalor into the tournament, hoping to watch an entertaining death. If he manages to win, however, he will be set free. Szalor's ladder takes him through the road for his survival.
162
163	Torgr, on the other hand, sees total galactic Skaarj dominance so clear, that for him is practically a fact, just waiting for the historic moments to come. He hopes that a grand Tournament victory (whih no Skaarj ever has achieved) will prove him worthy of being Consort to the Queen, and unifying the Skaarj and their slave races in his ultimate designs of intergalactic conquest. His ladder storymode takes him though the path to make his dreams of universal dominance a reality.
164	----
165	!! Tropes related to them:
166	* ADayInTheLimelight: Each of them have an own ladder.
167	* AlienBlood: They bleed green.
168	* BadassBoast:
169	--> '''Malcolm:''' ''Some would say it's unwise to meet a Skaarj warrior in a game they invented.''
170	--> '''Szalor:''' ''It is always unwise to fight a Skaarj warrior.''
171	* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler:Szalor]], in Raiden's ladder, is chosen by the Elder God to fight against the Outworld forces.
172	* {{Cliffhanger}}: Since both ladders end at the Szalor vs. Torgr battle, there're two possible outcomes, which end with the rival being dead. Which one is the "true ending" is up to the player.
173	* CollisionDamage: Szalor's "Blade Burst" adrenaline combo damages nearby enemies.
174	* CompositeCharacter: Moreso than their ''Tournament'' counterparts. They can use the Warrior class bolt and hack thanks to their [[WolverineClaws Razik]] being their weapon while still being able to carry weapons like the Trooper class. Also, the ability "Blade Shield" is exclusive to the Skaarj race, which is ''also'' another nod to the Trooper class and their ability to use a shield to reduce enemy damage.
175	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Szalor. In his own ladder, which takes place during the Ascension Rites, [[spoiler:he's set free]], and in Raiden's ladder, [[spoiler:he becomes TheChosenOne and Earthrealm's champion]]. And if that isn't enough, Anubis and Brock's own ladders, which take place after the Ascension Rites, reveal that [[spoiler:he's still around, as part of Thunder Crash]].
176	* EnergyAbsorption: Their "Blade Shield" adrenaline combo summons a shield made of blades which reduces explosive damage.
177	* FinalBoss: Of each other's Ladder. Szalor is also one in Raiden's Ladder.
178	* HealingFactor: Their "Regeneration" adrenaline combo.
179	* {{Irony}}: Szalor is a member of the Skaarj race, a race that sees humans and other creatures as unworthy of living. At the end of Raiden's ladder, though, [[spoiler:he's TheChosenOne]].
180	* PowerNullifier: Torgr's "Primal Scream" adrenaline combo prevents nearby enemies from using adrenaline combos.
181	* {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s
182	--> ''"Fight with honor!"''
183	* ReTool: From LightningBruiser into MightyGlacier, for game balance reasons.
184	* TheRival: Between each other.
185	* SecretCharacter: Torgr. To unlock him, beat Szalor's ladder.
186	* UnstoppableRage and XRayVision: Their "Predator" adrenaline combo .
187	* WolverineClaws: (with occasional {{Energy Ball}}s) The player can use the Razik and Claws with both of them. If the beams hits another Skaarj, it's a Wasted shot.
188	* YankTheDogsChain: Beating Szalor's ladder unlocks Torgr's, and the latter's final rung mirror Szalor, which means that [[spoiler:Torgr wins the final match, which either means a) he's still a slave, or b) he's dead for good]].
