YMMV / Earthrise

• Complete Monster (Soldiers of Earthrise):
  • The Red Cardinal, also known as Clement Taylor, is the tyrannical ruler of North Bahay. After being excommunicated from his church in America, the Red Cardinal formed his own sect with Filipinos and headed into outer space to escape the Americans. Once the Red Cardinal found the planet Bahay, he banished two-thirds of his followers into the ocean for not abiding to his laws. As decades went by, the Red Cardinal eliminated anyone who wasn't Bahayan, along with any Bahayans who refused to conform with his ideals. During the Earthling/Bahayan war, the Red Cardinal and his armies slaughtered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and prisoners of war; he later bombed the city on Mindao, murdering countless South Bahayan civilians for allying with the Earthlings. After donning the new moniker "Papa Dominus," he used his guerilla fighters known as the Crimson Claws to force Bahayans into intergalactic prostitution and drug dealing, while Papa Dominus built hundreds of concentration camps where his enemies were beaten, raped, starved, or murdered on a daily basis for multiple years. When hero Jon Taylor, his heir, refuses to join him even after being threatened to, Papa Dominus convinces Jon to confront him one final time by threatening to murder Maria and their four-year-old daughter Lily instead.
  • President Henry "Hank" Hale is the Earthling leader longing to exterminate the Bahayans and Santelmos. As President, Hale used his resources to spread anti-Bahayan propaganda across Earth and had all civilians drafted as soon as they turned eighteen. With General Ward as his primary contact, Hale was able to sanction countless bombings and attacks across Bahay, leading to the deaths of millions. When protestors against Hale's presidency began to interfere with his plans, he repeatedly sent the police to attack the protestors, not caring about the collateral damage that ensued. After killing Lizzy Pascal, the protestors' ringleader, he sent the police after the protestors again, indirectly causing a massacre that got over three hundred civilians killed. Even after the truth about the war is exposed to the public and his presidency is ruined, he sends an assassin to try and kill Kaelyn Williams and Etty Ettinger out of petty spite.
  • General Charles "Chuck" Ward is the leader of the Earthling army on Bahay. Eager to eradicate all of the Bahayans, Ward uses his soldiers to commit genocidal crimes, such as routinely bombing villages; occupying South Bahay and forcing a portion of the population to be slaves; gassing Bahay with poison that causes deformities and monstrous transformations; and slaughtering over three million Bahayans. Ward also has his own soldiers subjected to weeks of savage, abusive training, not caring when hundreds of thousands of his soldiers are killed during the conflict. When Maria tries to get Ward to confess to his crimes over a recording device, he destroys the device before admitting that he's killing Bahayans solely to profit from the war, and later tries to rape her.
