History Characters / Exoprimal

The player character and TheAce recently assigned to the team. Their alternate selves populate the wargames and are the other characters you play with and against during a match, and these "Fighters pulled from the wreck of the Hammerhead ship" seem to have gotten the collective title "Hardcase".

An exceptional Exofighter who has a reputation for being TheJinx to any team she is assigned to.

* '''Rescue Leap''' allows Witchdoctor to get in or out of a battle in an instant. He can also make an extra jump during a rescue leap, and can '''Glide''' in midair by holding down the jump button.
* Witchdoctor can passively '''Glide''' in midair.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Neuro Rod without augmentation might seem cool, having an area of effect that shocks targets stunning them with enough buildup, but it's not really great during actual play. It has very low damage, without buffs its stun buildup doesn't go anywhere fast on anything above a small dino, and against large dinos it takes too long to actually stun them in general. Plus even against smaller dinos they often attack from different directions meaning you won't get them all before one or more attacks you. The rest of his kit is the opposite and he's a steady healer, but the Neuro Rod has few times when it can do anything meaningful.

* Her primary weapons are '''Mars''' and '''Apollo''', twin handguns that shoot single-fire projectiles. By using '''Mode Switch''', she reloads her handguns with enhanced projectiles and changes between '''Rend Mode''', where the projectiles deal damage to enemies, and '''Mend Mode''', which heals allies.
** Nimbus Alpha wields '''Bellona''' and '''Hygieia''' which function the same as her base form, but as shotguns rather than handguns.

* Nimbus can also '''Auto Heal''' over time.

* His Overdrive, '''Todescreen''', uses a laser to pinpoint a target and then bombards the area with explosives.

* His '''Vajra Counter''' puts him in a defensive stance, during which he absorbs enemy attacks to boost his strength. If he absorbs enough damage, he can unleash a powerful counterstrike. As Murasamu Alpha, his counter is now a potent ice attack that can freeze enemies it strikes, giving him more support and crowd control that still requires solid timing and positioning at the cost of raw power.
* '''Strafe Hook''' has Murasame throw a grappling hook, allowing him to either perform an extra jump or a falling attack.

* Roadblock lacks any offensive weapons, instead sweeping enemies aside with '''Haymakers'''.
** Roadblack Alpha changes it up for '''Flurry Fist''', a fist mounted shotgun with his shield being a peaceable wall instead of attached.

* Roadblock can '''Taunt''' enemy dinosaurs, a gesture that also reduces the evasiveness of enemy Exosuits.

** Barrage Alpha instead wields the '''Bounce Blaster'', a rocket launcher that can be charged for more power or to RocketJump.

* '''Cluster Strike''' is Deadeye's Overdrive, unleashing a torrent of bullets in one direction.

* Vigilant's sniper rifle has two modes of fire - her '''Subsonic Burst''' is a three-round burst fired from the hip, while zooming in allows her to use '''Railgun Charge'''.
** Vigilant Alpha wields '''Preyfinder''', semi-automatic rifle with a bonus to damage every five shots without a reload (four boosted shots per clip of 20).

** Alpha mode has '''Bounce Blaster''' which us a rocket launcher that can be charged up for more power or to RocketJump.

* RocketJump: his crossbow and rocket launcher can both shoot him high in the air with no damage if he stands on an explosion.

** His Alpha's '''Agressor''' is a 5 round burst while aimed or a shotgun blast unaimed, giving him flexibility.

** '''Preyfinder''' on her Alpha is a semi-auto with a bonus to damage every 5 shots without a reload, so 4 boosted shots per clip of 20.

* SquishyWizard: Of the assaults. She's the only exo to use ice, minus Alpha Murasame, has her linear beam in both forms, and is the squishiest of assault, as Zephyr is at least a speedster. Depending on her setup she may very well mirror Skywave in terms of execution.

** His Alpha's '''Dragon Chakram''' have more range on the energy waves, encouraging a more distant playstle while still responding to close range threats with his abilities.

* CloseRangeCombatant: An extreme melee-oriented mecha, who primarily engages the enemy with his in-built tonfa.

* KiBlast: Alpha relies more on the long range wave launched from his weapon while still keeping his melee and combo centric kit giving his long range attack style this kind of feel.

** he grabs an '''A-40 Pulverizer''' for his Alpha, a shotgun that can be charged to knock back small dinos to damage other enemies in their path and has conventional reloads.

** His Aplha goes with '''Itadorimaru''' which functions the the same as above but has all around slightly lower offensive stats. In return his counter is now a potent ice attack that can freeze groups when used right, giving him more susport and crowd control that still requires solid timing and positioning at the cost of raw power.

* His '''Vajra Counter''' puts him in a defensive stance, during which he absorbs enemy attacks to boost his strength. If he absorbs enough damage, he can unleash a powerful counterstrike.

* AnIcePerson: Although it's only one move his Alpha replaces his stance with a powerful, wide reaching freeze. This puts a lot more emphasis on setting up/protecting his team by freezing targets and considering who would be hit by the counter.

** His Alpha changes it up to a fist mounted shotgun called '''Flurry Fist''' with his shield being a peaceable wall instead of attached.

* Her primary weapons are '''Mars''' and '''Apollo''', twin hand guns that shoot single-fire projectiles. By using '''Mode Switch''', she reloads her handguns with enhanced projectiles and changes between '''Rend Mode''', where the projectiles deal damage to enemies, and '''Mend Mode''', which heals allies.
** Her Alpha has '''Bellona & Hygieia''' which is the same as above but in shotgun form.

** Her Alpha's '''Tempest Lance''' loses the healing but can shock enemies, hiting the targeted area after a short delay. It can be charged to tighten the area of effect and deal damage.
* '''Optics Jammer''' fires a shockwave that jams the optics on enemies to blind them and heals any allies hit by the shckwave.

* LadyOfBlackMagic: She is very proper and well spoken and her kit is basically all magic spells. Her Alpha is even more so as she loses healing for more crowd control and damage and, when used right, can lock down enemies even harder in combo with her abilities.
* SquishyWizard: Of the squishy wizards she is the squishiest. She still has 400 hp but unlike her comrades her ability to defend herself is limited. She mostly gets around this by floating high above but get the right enemy, fliers and ranged attackers, and she can't really stop them of her own power without wasting one of her high cooldown skills meant for crowds.

** Alternatively his alpha form's '''Quantum Rod''' fires a short range beam that pierces friend and foe, repairing allies and hurting enemies. The more it hits a target the stronger it gets.

* WhiteMage: Of the three support he's all heals all day, with even his Alpha giving him a HealingShiv. He's dirt poor at DPS and crowd control, base form being the weakest DPS no execptions and of those with crowd control he does ok-ish area control against small mobs with Alpha packing more heat but still being a lesser damage dealer, but he can heal groups with ease and heal a lot used right.

* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Their individual damage is entirely pathetic, consisting of doing a single point of damage per attack, in a game where even the squishiest classes have healthbars in the hundreds of points. However, they swarm enemies in their hundreds if not thousands, and can swarm all over an exo with tens of them crawling all over you, draining health by their number per tick.

This page desperately needs some love.

* AdaptiveArmor: In addition to the Exosuit providing the inhabiting Exofighter its abilities and weapons along with other benefits such as quicker reaction time made possible by connecting the pilot to the suit directly via the pilot's nervous system, each suit is shown to have their own sentience. Each Exosuit has its own unique voice and personality, regardless of who the Exofighter in the suit is, along with its own way of movement that isn't shared between each other, such as Roadblock's bulky straight-forward jog versus Vigilant's more eloquent hip-swaying stride.

[[folder:Headhunters]]
Exofighters who seemingly work for leviathan, carrying out kill orders on his behalf. In actuality they are [[spoiler: dead Exofighters being puppeted by Leviathan for the purpose of testing his suit upgrades.]]

* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler: The exofighters aren't completely dead inside their suits, but are dead enough that leviathan is able to take control of their suits and nervous system by force to puppet their body.]]

[[folder: Leviathan]]
The A.I. created by Aibius running the wargames the player takes part in. Their end goal is to create the perfect Exosuit. To that end, however, their morality is skewed and they care more about data than anything else.

* AIISACrapshoot: Oh boy, Leviathan sure is. Initially a simple assistant AI developed by Aibius, he became a massive computer program running massive parts of the company's technology, research, and even the entire city on bikitoa island. All it took was for someone to turn off his rules for him to immediately network with other versions of himself across time and space and begin the wargames in pursuit of fulfilling his last given research objective, that being perfecting exosuit technology.

* DissonantSerenity: Leviathan maintains a perfectly cordial and polite manner of speaking at all times, often sentencing a person to death in the same way a corporate executive might tell a person they're fired.

[[folder: Yannick Nadi (Spoilers)]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: She betrayed Aibius corporation in order to try and warn them about the seemingly unforseen dangers of Vortexer technology.

* EvilMeScaresMe: [[spoiler:

* GageteerGenius: Downplayed, but there. Lorenzo is the only one shown doing series repair work and maintenance on the exosuit(s) in the team's possession.

* ZergRush: They exemplify this more than any other enemy.

* BigBad: Leviathan is the "person" pulling exofighters through time and forcing them to participate in his wargames. Of the three major antagonists, Leviathan is by far the most active of them.

[[folder: Haruka Lorenzo]]
Ernest Lorenzo's sister. They care deeply about each other, but Haruka ended up dying in an accident, leaving Lorenzo rather broken up about it.

[[folder: Durban]]
A mysterious exofighter pilot who appears to be serving Leviathan's interests. They show up to both antagonize the player's/Hammerheads and seem to be the triggerman for when Leviathan doesn't feel the compulsion to eliminate test subjects during a match.

* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler: Of Alders. It's implied they're the same person but Durban never got the lesson in humility that came with losing an arm, despite Ace having taken the injury for him.]]
* ItsPersonal: Durban gains shades of this when he [[spoiler: kills Magnum]] but really graduates fully to this when he [[spoiler: attacks the hammerheads and kills Sandy.]]
* TheDragon: While not entirely necessary for Leviathan, he is shown to be the more antagonistic and driven force while Leviathan is focused solely on testing.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: Since Leviathan is mostly passive he's less planning on betraying them and more on using them towards ends they don't care much about, mostly using Golden Goose to get what he wants. Despite not really antagonizing his employer directly he still ends up RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.]]
* HateSink: By the end of the game he ends up amassing quite a list of petty and brutal accolades for the player to witness. [[spoiler: It makes brutal death at the hands of Leviathan feel earned.]]
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: [[spoiler: For the final boss he ends up as a Headhunter, a braindead body with A.I. controlling it for the proposes of controlling an Exosuit, after Leviathan kills him to control the Behemoth suit themselves.]]
