History Characters / CodeNameSteam

* AnAxeToGrind: One of his weapons is an axe called Urvan, [[MythologyGag which was previously used by his father in his home series.]]

* NiceHat: Part of the reason he's ''called'' "Stovepipe".

* NiceHat: Sometimes wears a stovepipe hat, like he did in real life. Naturally, it gets used for a [[spoiler:DeadHatShot.]]

* NiceHat: Has his own built-in stovepipe hat.

* PublicDomainCharacter: Except for the Fox, who is a CaptainErsatz of one, and the secret character [[spoiler:Stovepipe, who is an original character and a robot duplicate of a HistoricalDomainCharacter]]. For obvious reasons, similar treatment is given to the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' characters.

[[folder: Abraham Lincoln]]
!! UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln

* ActionPolitician: Just because he's the President of the US doesn't mean he's above getting his hands dirty.

* FakingTheDead: In this universe, his assassination was staged so he could disappear from public life and run S.T.E.A.M.

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler: Explicitly noted after completing the game. Keep in mind, he had an emerald key that could transport him to Oz.]]

Lincoln's advisor, who manages the library of the Liberty.

The Anthropomorphized Battle Engine; STEAM's strongest weapon against the invaders and piloted by Lincoln himself.

* AmericanRobot: It's modeled after one of the nation's most recognizable leaders, hard to be more USA than that.

* ThisIsADrill: Has a drill mode that needs upgrading, as it wasn't actually built with assaulting underground enemy bases in mind. [[spoiler: A little off world development results in a giant drill ABE ''rides'' from the sky to the depths of the Earth.]]

[[/folder]]

* BadassBeard: The other characters comment on his youth but how young can he be with that thing?

* BadassMustache: Important enough to be rebuilt with a metal mustache.

* BadassBeard: It's Abe Lincoln. Of course he has one.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: She can walk in and out of Oz whenever she wants but can't take anyone with her.

* BlackBestFriend: To Henry.

** Her Parallel Falchion allows her to jump long distances while [[EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning spinning]], similar to how she fought Chrom in the "Two Falchions" cutscene in her game of origin.

* BadassArmFold: Makes one as he's preparing to deploy his HumongousMecha.

* HeroicSacrifice: He put in bed during a face off with a saboteur prowler, who would have put Fleming in bed instead had Lincoln not stepped in. [[spoiler:Oh, and heoverloads A.B.E. in order to destroy the Great Shugguth before it freezes Earth.]]

* PublicDomainCharacter: Except for the Fox, who is a CaptainErsatz of one, and the secret character [[spoiler:Stovepipe, who is an original character and a robot duplicate of a HistoricalDomainCharacter]]. For obvious reasons, similar treatment is given to the ''FireEmblem'' characters.

! ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' characters

!! [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Marth]]

!! [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]]

* {{Kevlard}}: He's got a bit of a gut and is one of the most durable S.T.E.A.M. agents

* LargeHam: Just listen to how he speaks upon coming across the aliens.

* TheSmurfettePrincipal: The only female amiibo character.

* ActionGirl: The only female amiibo character.

* BadassPrincess: The Princess of Ylisse, thanks to her royal lineage through Marth and later Chrom.

* GoombaStomp: His main weapon the Lion Launcher allows him to jump onto enemies. Even after the Jump Booster sub-weapon has been unlocked, Lion is the only S.T.E.A.M. member capable of doing this.

* LargeHam: Although he becomes much more subdued when his health is low
* LightningBruiser: He's got the most health, the most maneuverability(although his low steam recharge rate limits him on flat land) and deals good damage with his main weapon.

* StatusBuff: Grants the whole team a defensive bonus
* ThatPoorCat: He sometimes makes the sound when knocked off his feet

* BigEater: He has the biggest appetite of any agent

* RedBoxingGloves: His gun shoots one out

* AnimalMotifs: Two; whales in general but his gun shoots mechanical [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguins]]!
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: [[MadeOfExplodium Exploding penguins!]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Queequeg's special is one big-ass spear. One that is seemingly steam powered, but still requires him to hold it up

* StatusBuff: He raises the attack power of all S.T.E.A.M. agents
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Despite this, he has the second most heath after Lion, more than the partially mechanical John Henry!
* ThisMeansWarPaint: His face is painted, and it ''is'' a war

* FriendlyFireProof: his pumpkin stunner is one of the few things that won't negatively affect your allies, should they be caught in its radius.

* SniperRifle: Her main weapon has the longest range of any gun in the game (ignoring Queequeg's penguin launcher or Califia's rhino bomber, which are more easily obstructed and not as good at hitting weak points) -- even moreso when she activates her sharp eye special. And her passive ability increases over watch damage, which her rifle uses less steam for!

* AdaptationalHeroism: In her own book she was one of the main antagonists, running an exclusionary society which trained their beasts of burden to kill any man they saw and had to be violently convinced men just as much right to rule as women. Here, there is apparently no ulterior motive to her friendship with Abraham Lincoln and she heads straight to Washington DC when she hears the US has been invaded by aliens. No mention of a King California, so it can be presumed she didn't have to be defeated for this benevolence to come about.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: She's from an entire island of warrior women and feels she has something of a reputation to uphold

* BadassMustache: Important enough to be rebuilt with a metal mustache
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: By the kanji heart
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Backstories are better with samurai in this case, as he is no longer one, nor does he fight like one as a S.T.E.A.M. agent

* RaceLift: Seems to be Japanese in this universe, even having a Mt Fuji background during his Special.
* SupportPartyMember: Specialises in restoring steam points to allies.

A friend of Scarecrow, Tin-Man, and Lion who returns from the land of Oz.

* GoshDangitToHeck: All of them ''but'' heck, really

* ShortTank: She might have a ripped top more than a tank top but otherwise fits the look to a t and is among the more agile agents

* TeleportersAndTransporters: She can walk in and out of Oz whenever she wants but can't take anyone with her

* AmericanRobot: It's another Presidential robot

* BratsWithSlingshots: He uses a slingshot to scatter mines in his special move.

* LittleMissBadass:

* ShortTank

* AdaptationalBadass: He isn't cowardly at all in this game. Either this or TookALevelInBadass if, as the game implies, this takes place ''after'' his adventures with Dorothy in the ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''.

* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: And because this is war, [[ThisMeansWarPaint there is also paint]].

* WarPaint: Similar to Tiger Lily

* AnimalMotifs: He plays with the team's motifs; instead of an animal, all his stuff is pumpkin-themed.

* SupportPartyMember: His main weapon does no damage and has to wait a turn (or be shot) to work, but it stuns enemies in a wide area, allowing his teammates to deal double damage and avoid overwatch fire.

* DashingHispanic: She does have ties to a government founded agency but until the alien invasion it was a secret one. To the general public, The Fox was a rogue. She immediately tries to work her charm on Henry Fleming and claims to have many admirers. Her preference for sniping of course requires finesse and she lives by her own sense of honor. All these plus being Hispanic are more than enough for The Fox to qualify.

* SniperRifle: Her main weapon has the longest range of any gun in the game (ignoring, in theory, Queequeg's penguin launcher on a large flat battlefield) -- even moreso when she activates her special.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In her own book she was the main antagonist running an exclusionary society who had to be violently convinced men just as much right to rule as women. Here, she's friends with Abraham Lincoln and heads straight to Washington DC when she hears the US has been invaded by aliens. No mention of a King California, so it can be presumed she didn't have to be defeated for these good relations to come about.
* AmazonianBeauty: It's not noticeable at first, as even though she doesn't wear much armor it nonetheless covers up most of the relevant parts. Underneath it, her arms and legs are pretty muscular.

* BareYourMidriff: Which is baring less than usual, considering Queen Califia is commonly depicted topless.

* BareYourMidriff

* GlassCannon: Has low HP like the other light characters, but her Toto Blaster is [[SpreadShot fired in a right-to-left fan pattern]] and so does a very large amount of damage when she's right next to the enemy.

* AmericanRobot

* DashingHispanic

* JustLikeRobbinhood: She strives to make a mark wherever the poor are oppressed.

* BadassBeard
* LanternJawOfJustice

* {{Irony}}: In his story of origin, he competed against a steam-powered hammer, yet here he uses one as his special move.
** Even further, the general concept of him competing against the steam-powered hammer to prove that man can triumph over machine, succeeding, nearly dying in the process, and being saved by, and ''becoming'', the very machines he fought against.

* AdaptationalBadass: He isn't cowardly at all in this game.
** Either that or TookALevelInBadass if, as the game implies, this takes place ''after'' his adventures with Dorothy in the ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''.

* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins

* TheMedic: Her main weapon heals allies, and her special move also heals allies. Whether she's a pure medic or a CombatMedic depends on what her secondary weapon is.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Implied. Henry's comment that she looks a little young for S.T.E.A.M. ticks her off, and her profile all but states that she's not that young. And if you know [[Literature/PeterPan where she is from]]... this makes ''perfect'' sense.

* FragileSpeedster: Being a light character, he has low health but a high steam recharge rate, and his main weapon only uses one steam point.

* RedBoxingGloves

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Queequeg's special is one big-ass spear.

* YouNoTakeCandle

* AmazonianBeauty

* BoisterousBruiser: A rare female example.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy

* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai

** LittleMissBadass

** BadassBeard: It's Abe Lincoln. Of course he has one.
** BadassLongcoat

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He overloads A.B.E. in order to destroy the Great Shugguth before it freezes Earth.]]
** [[spoiler:NeverFoundTheBody: Explicitly noted after completing the game. Keep in mind, he had an emerald key that could transport him to Oz.]]

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection

* AmericanRobot

* FunWithAcronyms
* HumongousMecha

* NoSell: Overwatch attacks, thanks to his special skill "Destiny". He erects a magic barrier that makes them inflict no damage or stun (though occasionally knockback if the weapon is strong enough). Good thing too, or being a melee combatant in a gun-heavy game would make him useless.
* RoyalRapier: One of his weapons is a rapier.

The leader of a band of mercenaries known in legends as the Radiant Hero.

* CoolSword: His main weapon is his sword Ragnell, a {{BFS}} that can fire {{sword beam}}s.

* SwordBeam: His sword Ragnell can fire these as a ranged attack.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: His special move Aether involves throwing his sword Ragnell into the air, jumping up to catch it, then crashing into the ground, just like in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: When he uses one of his abilities, an image of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Grima]] appears, implying he's channelling its power.

* PlayingWithFire: One form of magic he uses is fire magic.
* ShockAndAwe: His special move uses thunder magic.

* BowAndSwordInAccord: She fights using a sword and a bow.
* FoeTossingCharge: Her special move is charging through enemies with her sword.

** Either that or TookALevelInBadass if, as the game implies, this takes place ''after'' his adventures with Dorothy in the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

* GoombaStomp: His main weapon the Lion Launcher allows him to jump onto enemies.
* InASingleBound: His Lion Launcher allows him to make large jumps, allowing him to reach heights and take shortcuts the other characters can't use.

* AnimalMotifs: Birds. Her Medi-Mortar has a [[SwansASwimming swan]] on it, and her official art and Healing Wind animation involve a small bird as well.

* HealingShiv: Her main weapon the Medi-Mortar fires explosives that heal everyone in its radius.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Implied. Henry's comment that she looks a little young for STEAM ticks her off, and her profile all but states that she's not that young. And if you know [[Literature/PeterPan where she is from]]... this makes ''perfect'' sense.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Develops this relationship with John, though neither one sees the friendship part when Henry jokes about it.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins

* NoSell: Has the Stun Immunity skill. Makes sense, as he's made out of straw.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: "An alien...''fascinating''!

* CowardlyLion: Ironically a better example than the TropeNamer in this game, though its justified due to [[EldritchAbomination the kind of things]] he faces on a daily basis.

* GlassCannon: Has low HP like the other light characters, but her Toto Blaster is fired in a fan pattern and so does a very large amount of damage when she's right next to the enemy.

* RayGun

* WhoWearsShortShorts

* BigGood: As the President of the United States, and the Commander-in-Chief of it's military.
* CallingYourAttacks: "EXECUTIVE DECISION"

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He overloads A.B.E. in order to destroy the Great Shuggoth before it freezes Earth.]]

* {{Badass}}: Of course. He's based off A.B.E, who's based off Lincoln.

* {{Badass}}: Wrestler, woodsman, giant robot pilot, that's Honest Abe for you.
** BadassArmFold: Makes one as he's preparing to deploy his HumongousMecha.

* {{Expy}}: A LighterAndSofter [[VentureBros Doctor Venture]], down to having the same voice actor.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the folk story, John won against the steam hammer but died from the exertion. His profile in the game indicates that it almost happened here but his life was saved because "WeCanRebuildHim: we have the {{Steampunk}} technology".

!! AbrahamLincoln

! ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' characters

* CuttingOffTheBranches / CipherScything: Thanks to the Amiibo compatible with ''Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.'' being based off of his appearance in ''SuperSmashBros for Wii U and [=3DS=]'', it's vaguely implied this is the same Robin from those games; In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', Robin could have his physical appearance and even gender customized. In this game however, Robin is locked to his default male appearance.
