In negotiations, Rook uses a coin whose results directly impact the effects of his cards, from the face on which they land to how many times he gambles in general. He also benefits from “Preparing” cards, leading them to the far left of his hand, increasing their effects. He also has many cards who can only activate their effects by discarding another card, or getting discarded. HighRiskHighReward indeed !

Tropes that pertain to
* AffablyEvil: Should you play a murderous grifter with a diplomacy-oriented negotiation deck and a couple of well-placed friends, you’ll almost certainly be this.
** FauxAffablyEvil: Choosing to hurt and piss off as many people as you can while still somehow managing a diplomacy deck will lead you to be this.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: No matter what choices you pick, the ending of every campaign will always have the grifter move on to new adventures afterwards.
* AntiHero / AntiVillain: Depending on player choices, all three characters can be BadassPacifist muscle who solve problems violently yet non-lethally, or murderous scumbags with enough redeeming qualities to still be rootable for. Or anything in-between.
* CasualDangerDialog: Some cards depicting dangerous scenes for the Grifters are often associated with humorous FlavorText that reminds this.
* TheCharmer: All three grifters can talk their way out of a large number of situations and have access to diplomacy cards that allow for pleasant negotiations.
* DeadpanSnarker: Even outside of some negotiation cards, all three Grifters are not above making snide comments on the dangerous and sometimes ridiculous situations and individuals they find themselves dealing with.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Both Rook and Smith’s campaign involve dealing with some sort of EldritchAbomination and ultimately [[spoiler:defeating a manifestation of their will.]]
* DuelingPlayerCharacters: Sal can be met by both Rook and Smith in their respective campaigns, and Rook can be met by Sal in hers. It is entirely possible to fight and even kill them.
* GuileHero: Lying, cheating and outsmarting their opponents is as much part of their repertoire as simply kicking their faces in.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Downplayed. The grifters do not seem prejudiced in any way but they’re not above using FantasticRacism to coerce their nemesis into attacking them.
* SanitySlippage: Killing someone while not being isolated will lead to obtaining reputation cards. Amongst those, “Unstable” stands out. As in, killing too much leads to your character becoming more unhinged, at least during their negotiations. Ultimately Downplayed as it doesn’t change the actual behaviour of your characters outside of playing that one card during negotiations.
* SelfDefenseRuse: Should a character hate them, all three grifters can goad that character into attacking them first in order to get rid of their relationship malus.[[/folder]]

He also has many cards who can only activate their effects by discarding another card, or getting discarded. HighRiskHighReward indeed !
In combat, Rook uses twin pistols which he can charge or empty for multiple benefits. Every empty chamber grants him defence at the end of his turn, but gaining more charges than he has chambers grants him “Overcharge”, which increases the maximum potential damage of his attack, and a lot of his attacks give or consume charges. Add to this a wide array of StatusEffects, and you have a DifficultButAwesome character with many mechanics to juggle.\\\

* BecomingTheMask: Downplayed. Rook’s ending narration reveals that while he still carries on his mission, this specific infiltration made him reveal much more of himself than was intended.
* BottomlessMagazines: Through the use of “Gun Smoke” and “Fistful”, Rook can end up playing a lot of cards in one turn.
* BrokenAce: Implied.
-->''"Maybe you remembered the kind of person you used to be. The kind of work you used to believe in."''
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: At the end of his campaign, the narration mentions that the entire campaign was nothing more than just another job to Rook.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Some card art like that of “Devious” put emphasis on Rook’s mustache and manipulations.
* DamageOverTime: Rook has access to “Burn” and “Scorch” status effects.
* DifficultButAwesome : Unlike Sal and Smith, Rook doesn’t have any duality in builds (with Sal being encouraged to choose between a “Bleed” build or a “Combo build, and Smith being encouraged to choose between a “Drink” build or a “Trauma” build). He can build around having no charge, having too much charge, having overcharge, inflicting burns, inflicting status effects, not to mention gaining powerful cards that need to “hatch” before they can be used, wasting actions per turn. Negotiations are the same as his diplomacy cards need to be prepared before reaching their full potential and his hostility cards have to be discarded to employ their effects. That’s not to mention how he’s the only character that can customise his equipment (his guns and coins), and the parasite cards that evolve over the campaign.
* EvilOldFolks: Is much older than both Smith and Sal, enough for other characters to call him “Grandpa”, and his campaign revolves much more about manipulating two factions for his and his employer’s gains rather than personal vendetta.
** Case in point : if he meets Sal and helps her defeat her day 1 boss during his campaign, she’s perfectly content with keeping her bounty alive should Rook spare them. If Sal meets Rook during her campaign and helps him do the same, leaving the boss alive will just lead to Rook executing them in cold blood.

* GunsAkimbo: Dual wields two pistols in combat.
* KillItWithFire: Rook has access to multiple StatusEffects, but two that are more prevalent than the others are “Burn”, which inflicts damage over time but fades out very quickly, and “Scorch” which prevents the aforementioned quick decay. He can also gain bonuses from attacking enemies that are affected by either, depending on his build.
* MagikarpPower: Rook can obtain a diplomacy card named [[EnnemiesList “The List”]] early on, which costs two actions and doesn’t do a lot of damage, but every time he notes down an opponent’s name in it, the card becomes stronger, until it becomes capable of one-shotting some core arguments !
** This can apply to Rook’s negotiation deck as a whole, as some of his builds can end up waiting for the perfect coin to really start becoming powerful.

* MysteriousPast: Rook is an Admiralty veteran who has faked his death, and hides his past both from those he meets and the player. Apart from a few dialogue options with Fellemo and the Day 1 Bosses, he remains as elusive as ever until the end of his campaign, with even the ending narration remarking that he doesn’t usually reveal much about himself on a mission.
* OldSoldier: Rook is an Admiralty veteran that is much older than the other two Grifters as well as most characters, something that is often remarked upon by those he meets. He is still very much capable of kicking ass despite this.
* SeenItAll: His general attitude to everything, being unimpressed even in front of the powers of [[EldritchLocation the Bog]].
* StatusEffects: Rook can inflict many more than Smith or Sal, with some cards relying entirely on how many of these maluses he has inflicted on his targets.
* TakeCover: Most card artworks and FlavorText indicate that this is how Rook increases his defence.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: There is absolutely no reason not to kill the Day 1 and 3 Bosses, as Rook fights them in an isolated location and they drop rather powerful card. The latters even hate you afterwards, giving you a relationship malus. As such, their survival should they surrender depends only on the player’s choice.

In negotiations, Smith uses his connections as part of a powerful family to intimidate his opponent, building up ''Renown'' to let them know just who they're dealing with.

This method is not without risk, however, and if his opponent can push past this strategy, Smith will find his own argument severely weakened. An aggressive Smith can however forgo “Renown” entirely to instead focus on multiple smaller arguments that he can destroy himself for various benefits.
* BloodKnight: Smith is the only one of the three grifters to constantly smile in combat, and narration and card FlavorText alike make a habit of mentioning his love for violence.
* BoisterousBruiser: Smith really likes to fight and likes to brag about how much he loves fighting, a trait present in combat and negotiation alike.
* BoisterousBruiser: Smith really likes to fight and likes to brag about how much he loves fighting, a trait present in combat and negotiation alike.
* TheBully: Well, his base hostility cards ARE called “Bully”. He also did bully Sweet Moreef and Theroux when they were kids.
** ReformedBully: His relationship with Moreef is this, as Smith bears him no ill will anymore and perhaps doesn’t actually remember it being more than playing rough. He can also make up with Theroux later in the campaign.
* CharacterDevelopment: PlayedForLaughs. During the last mission, Smith can choose not to partake in the drinking. This will lead him to be so distracted from the possibility of growing as a person that he’ll accidentally push a Deltrean diplomat, leading to him having to solve a diplomatic incident.
* CastFromHitPoints: A lot of cards damage Smith on use, playing on his recklessness. PlayedWith in regards to an aggressive negotiation deck, as you are damaging your own arguments to destroy them without necessarily damaging your core.
* CombatSadomasochist: Some cards like the aptly named “Masochist” push Smith’s BloodKnight tendencies to their logical extreme.
* DeadlierThanTheMale: GenderInverted. Kra’deshi societies are very matriarchal, and the game’s many unique female Kra’deshi are all badass ActionGirls in their own rights (even Fssh can dispose of a not-necessarily weakened assassin for Sal), while males like Foolo and Fellemo are relegated to SmugSnake NonActionGuy status. It is pretty impressive for Smith to become the family patriarch in such a small amount of time, despite Mullifee being the girl and thus inheritor.
* DeathOfAThousandCut: In negotiations, by focusing on cards like “Goon” and “Hot Air”, Smith can end up having a lot of arguments that deal little damage individually but can very quickly stack up, especially combined with his core argument’s effect, “Confrontational”, dealing one point of damage every time a new argument is created.
* Determinator: With his “Moxie” mechanic, Smith can turn lost fights around and keep on fighting until he wins. Some cards like “Push It” invoke this aspect of his personality

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: They are futuristic assassins wearing gasmasks in a post-apocalyptic world, one inspired by Bushido works and the other by Western works.
* Ronin: Hanzo’s FlavorText mentions that he is “well-trained”, but he doesn’t have a master and is merely a highly dangerous sellsword.
* SamuraiCowboy: Hanbi fights with a handgun and a rifle. Hanzo fights with a katana.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: While you can gain advantages from negotiations before any boss fight, negotiating against the assassin will get their panic meter to increase every turn, making them surrender without losing much health, if any, if you play a certain way.[[/folder]]

!!The Spark Barons
A corporation of technomancers who research pre-apocalypse technology for sale and use throughout Havaria. They're cutthroat and apathetic to workers' rights, making them hated among the common folk, but necessary due to their extensive knowledge of all things technological.

[[folder:In General]]
Tropes that pertain to Spark Barrons in general.
----
* RailroadBaron: The Spark Barons are this-
** RecycledInSpace: IN SPACE.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kashio]]
A Freelancer, formerly an indentured Derrick laborer for the Cult of Hesh who bought her own freedom by selling out her old friends, and later achieved her position in the Spark Barons by selling them tech she discovered in the Grout Bog.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Admiralty hates her as a criminal, the Spree want to eliminate her as competition, the Jakes dislike her hold on the Market, the Cult are scared of her presence at the Auction and Civilians simply despise her.
* BadBoss: Doesn’t really care if she sends her troops to their deaths.
* BladeOnAStick: Depending on what she gains from the auction, she can end up fighting with a two handed glaive.
* CounterAttack: Depending from what she obtains from the auction, she might gain the ability to counter Sal’s attack every other turn.
* CruelMercy: If Sal spares her, she wonders if [[Irony Kashio’ll be sold to the Derricks] after she turns her in.
* DoppelgangerAttack: If she obtains the “Hologram Projection Belt” from the auction, she’ll summon three holographic copies of herself to fight Sal. They die in one hit, and all die if Sal manages to hit the real Kashio, but can all attack her for full damage if they’re not destroyed.
* EpicFlail: Fights with one, unless she obtains the aforementioned glaive.
* FinalBoss: She's confronted at the end of Sal's campaign.
* FlunkyBoss: Can summon an automech to fight alongside her as well as Holograms.
* GrenadeSpam: If she obtains the “Suitcase Grenades”, she’ll keep throwing them at Sal at the end of every turn.
* RingOfFire: The arena in which she fights Sal.[/folder]]
[[folder:Lellyn Fellemo]]
A Spark Baron regional manager, formerly an Admiralty soldier that was friends with Rook and helped him "retire".
----
* AffablyEvil: He is a Spark Baron with no care for his workers and focuses on his own riches above all, but he does genuinely appreciate Rook. While Rook (and the player) might feel more drawn to Kalandra’s cause, Fellemo’s deep respect for his old Captain might motivate them to stay to his side.
* BadBoss: Both to the regular workers and to the lower-ranked Spark Barons, which he views as expendable in the quest to root out the Rise.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Has a very smug, wide smile, a mischievous Leitmotif and some whiskers not unlike a mustache.
* EvilOldFolks: He is around Rook’s age, and looks older than that, and is quite the BadBoss.
* FireForgedFriends: Exploited. When Fellemo starts expressing doubts on Rook’s intentions after defeating Kalandra, Rook will remind him of past operations and ordeals they braved together.
* PetTheDog: When Rook’s leg starts malfunctioning during the final expedition, Fellemo pulls out a toolkit and silently helps Rook repair it without so much as asking for a reward.
* RouteBoss: Rook can fight either him, Kalandra, or [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere neither]] towards the end of his campaign.
* RetiredBadass: While Rook has remained active as a Freelancer, Fellemo became a Spark Baron
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Should he be betrayed and spared, the ending will note that he would empty the coffers before leaving the area, never to be seen again.
* SmugSnake: Downplayed. He is a smug, rich, conceited CorruptCorporateExecutive who doesn’t hesitate to remind rook that he was the better shot. Should he be fought, he won’t be as formidable as, say, Arint, but he will not go down easy.
* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: While Rook remains active in his old age, Fellemo has enjoyed retirement and the Spark Baron life so much that he does not even register as a Boss anymore.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Arint]]
Fellemo's lieutenant, who was headhunted from one of the Cult of Hesh's Luminari training facilities, and takes her job very seriously.
----
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Implied. Considering her past and utmost dedication to the Spark Barons, it can be inferred that they may have protected her from the cult and that she is loyal in return.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Again, she was headhunted from the Cult of Hesh’s Luminari training facilities.
* HyperCompetentSidekick : much more dubious of Rook than Fellemo and not afraid to make her research on him. She is also a much more formidable opponent than him.
* RouteBoss: Either she or Flekfis will be fought on Day 3 of Rook's campaign, with her fight occurring if Rook sides against the Spark Barons.
*[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kashio’s Goons]]
At the end of Sal’s first day, Kashio will personally come to the Grog N’ Dog and sic one of her Goons on the grifter, chosen at random between the “Turncoat” Buleet, the “Drone Master” Jeol and the “Boss” Sparky.
----
* FlunkyBoss: As expected from his title, Jeol summons drones during his fight. They can get destroyed by getting hit multiple times, damaging him as they explode. Should he die, Sal can obtain a card allowing her to summon one per fight as well.
* MeaningfulName: A [[DogFaces Jarackle]] “Spark” Baron named Sparky, huh ?[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Rowdy Patrons]]
At the end of Smith’s first day, he’ll come back to some of Moreef’s clients making a mess in his bar, and his friend will ask him to calm them down. Amidst some random NPC’s will sit either Brut or Weezil.
----
* BarBrawl: Unlike Sal having to defend herself from one of Kashio’s elite soldiers or Rook being confronted by an old acquaintance, Smith’s first boss is merely a drunk, belligerent yet competent fighter being too rude in his friend’s bar and solving the problem the only way he knows how.
* BatterUp: If killed, he drops the unique battle card "Brut's Bat", a spiked bat that applies 6-8 damage and one stack of Traumatized (take double damage from an incoming attack) to an enemy when played.
* FriendlySniper: Weezil, after being befriended. Even before Smith beats him, he still is having a fun time with his entourage.
* GutturalGrowler: Invoked, according to Smith’s trash talk. Since dialogue in this game is in written form, there’s no way to verify that.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Defeating them non-lethally ends up with them and Smith making up and them apologising for the mess. Later in the campaign, the one you met will be present in Sweets’ bar and Smith will have the opportunity to give them a gift to get them to love him, as well as hire him for the day (or night) and for the final mission as well.
* MeaningfulName: Brut is a Shrokian close-quarter fighter who likes to fight with a bat which increases your damage should he drop it. Weezil, a Jarackle, snipes enemies from afar and fights rather defensively, and his dropped scope can help increase your defense. Both are also major jerks the first time you meet them. Of course they would be named “Brute” and “Weasel”. Lampshaded by Weezil’s FlavorText :
-->''"Anyone with Weezil’s name on their lips best be careful how they speak it."''

!!The Spree
The usual outlaws of Havaria. Violent and irascible, they gain attack power quickly in negotiations, and will bleed their targets dry in combat.
[[folder:In General]]
Tropes that pertain to Spree members in general.
----
* BanditMook: Raiders can steal money from the Grifter, and will only give it back if killed.
* BloodlessCarnage: Despite their attacks inflicting bleeding, there’s almost no visual indicator of it.
* BowVersusCrossbow: Thieves fight from a distance using Crossbows.
* BringMyRedJacket: Sal will encounter (and fight) a lot of them during her campaigns, and she is the character who can inflict “Bleed”, so…
* DamageOverTime: Just like Sal, most of them inflict Bleed on their enemies.
* PinnedToTheWall: A StatusEffect that Thieves can use against the grifter, preventing them from using one of their cards until they use the “Pinned” card instead. Should a Thief hate them, they will start battle with a “Pinned” card in their deck anyway.
* PowerFist: Thugs used revved-up knuckles to fight.
* SinisterScythe: What Raiders use to fight.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Nadan]]
The Spree "leader", though he takes more of a tactical role instead of as a commander. He has a personal grudge against Oolo of the Admiralty, who he blames for his facial disfigurement and a botched raid that led to his closest friends being killed in an explosion. Although he looks intimidating, he also has a sensitive side, with a notable love of poetry. He is also Kashio's former protégé.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: A more subdued exemple than most. After getting captured, Nadan will offer Sal an opportunity to liberate him in exchange for money. If Sal refuses, Nadan will simply go back to being silent.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Nadan’s burnt cheek changes depending on the way he’s facing.
* AssistCharacter: In the final battle, Sal receives a unique card that has him attack Kashio before leaving. Justified in that he’s leading the Spree against the Admiralty during Sal’s big fight, and can’t fight for too long alongside her while also helping his own.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Nadan’s weapon of choice which he can drop should you kill him.
* GlasgowGrin: His face is permanently disfigured, leaving a gash in his cheek that exposes his teeth, due to a blaster shot from Oolo during a failed raid.
* IHaveYourWife: In order to get revenge on Oolo for his GlasgowGrin, he kidnaps her brother Foolo to use as bait and lure her into his territory.
* ItsPersonal: He blames Oolo for his current hardships and wants her dead, whereas Oolo is fine with Nadan being merely apprehended for his crimes.
* PetTheDog: Should Sal side with him, in the ending, it’s implied he uses his newfound power and connections to help the occasional person in need.
* RouteBoss: If Sal sides with him in order to gain access to an auction, he becomes a potential ally; if Sal instead sides with Admiralty officer Oolo, then Nadan will need to be apprehended to gain her support.
* TrueMenWearPink: His love for poetry.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hebbel]]
The bartender and proprietor of The Last Stand, located in Grout Bog. Rook not only rents a room from him in his campaign, but also uses Hebbel as an intermediary to contact his shadow client.

* IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou: Hebbel’s meals heal Rook but are pretty bad for his stomach.
* Jerkass: Not very nice to Rook.
** JerkassToOne: Implied. He has been informed of [[ManipulativeBastard who]] [[EvilerThanThou Rook]] [[MysteriousPast is]] and would rather not have to deal with him anymore than necessary.[[/folder]]
!!The Rise
A rebel group dedicated to workers' rights and the right to bear arms profusely.

And sometimes those that try to screw them out of their paycheck.
----
[[folder:In General]]
Tropes pertaining to the rise in general.
----
* AssistCharacter: On the final day, if Rook is on their side, he can ask for help from Rise members against his enemies.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: They believe in hit-and-run tactics, and public executions used as exemples. Some of them do not hesitate to bully workers into joining them as well.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Depending on who you ask, opinions on the Rise will differ.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Prindo Kalandra]]
The organizer of the Rise.
----
* ActionGirl: While not as strong as Flekfis, she will stand her ground should Rook betray her.
* AssistCharacter: Rook can call her for help during the final battle. She’ll launch a bomb at his enemies before retreating.
* BadBoss: Is willing to sacrifice Rise members for her cause and will not hesitate to leave Rook behind when his mechanical leg starts acting up during the final day.
* ChildhoodFriends: In Sal's campaign, Sal can have a dream in which it's revealed she and Prindo used to be friends, as Sal's parents were part of the Rise.
* DeviousDaggers: Fights using a dagger and encourages deception and guerilla tactics.
* HerdHittingAttack: Should you fight her, she will occasionally throw grenades at you and your Spark Barons allies.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Of the FantasticRacism variety. She does not hesitate to call Fellemo, a Kra’deshi, multiple synonyms of “Slug”, even to his face.
* RouteBoss: Rook can fight either her, Lellyn, or [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere neither]] towards the end of his campaign.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Flekfis]]

!!Other
Small factions with few representatives or bosses without any real allegiance.

Chemists and researchers with no real allegiance besides [[ForScience science]].
----
* ForScience: Bilebrokers’ primary motivation when they do (or are convinced to do) something for free is that they want to harvest a new chemical or discover something.
* InsufferableGenius: During negotiations, they can create the argument “Eccentric”, whose accompanying dialogue implies that they will just drown the Grifter under various scientific facts they do not care about.[[/folder]]

Members of a faction situated on an island North of Havaria that is often in conflict with the mainland.

Before he can do so, however, Theroux will call for security, including the “Defensive Program” Mark Nine Nine or the “Freelance Bodyguards” Felek and Tazz. While they all share aesthetics with the Spark Barons, they are actually factionless.
----
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Being PaletteSwaps of each other, Felek and Tazz look identical.
* ClockworkCreature: Mark Nine Nine has a WindUpKey on his back which he can use to gain power and regenerate his health.
* DeathIsTheOnlyOption: For a given value of death, but while it is possible to spare Felek and Tazz, Mark Nine Nine, being a robot, will always have to be destroyed to proceed.
* DualBoss: Felek and Tazz fight together. Should you piss off Theroux’s future spouse, he will join them or Mark Nine Nine during the fight as well.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: If one of the twins is killed or surrenders, the other will TurnRed, getting increased damage. Predictably, killing only one of the twins results in the surviving twin hating you.
* FragileSpeedster: Tazz and Felek attack multiple times per turn for good damage, but they’re not very tanky, at least individually.
* MightyGlacier: Mark Nine Nine’s health is that of both twins combined and he can’t be coerced into surrendering. This is not to mention his ability to regenerate. However, the bulk of his damage depends on Smith’s last attack, meaning than smart management of Smith’s card leaves
* ShoutOut: Felek and Tazz take inspiration from fighting games, between their GroundWave or MegatonPunch attacks as well as how they are PaletteSwaps of each other. They
* SiblingTeam: Felek and Tazz are explicitly said to be brothers, and they fight Smith together.
* WeakerTwinSavesTheDay: PlayedWith. It is possible to kill one of the two brothers before getting killed by the survivor.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: Having no affiliation with any faction and thus no friendship with anyone, and dropping not one but two boss items, there’s no reason not to kill the twins except for the kindness in the player’s heart.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Mark Nine Nine’s damage depends on the last attack he suffered from, while Felek and Tazz’s self-buffs are reduced everytime they take damage. As such, multi-hitting “Restrained” attacks are good to use in both battles.[[/folder]]
!!Other
Small factions with few representatives or bosses without any real allegiance.
[[folder:Bilebrokers]]
Chemists and researchers with no real allegiance besides [[ForScience science]].
----
* ForScience: Bilebrokers’ primary motivation when they do (or are convinced to do) something for free is that they want to harvest a new chemical or discover something.
* InsufferableGenius: During negotiations, they can create the argument “Eccentric”, whose accompanying dialogue implies that they will just drown the Grifter under various scientific facts they do not care about.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rentorians]]
Members of a faction situated on an island North of Havaria that is often in conflict with the mainland.
----
* NoBiochemicalBarrier: Downplayed. Both Threekwa and Bordenkra wear masks that resemble a gasmask and an oxygen mask, respectively, implying a difference in atmosphere between the two continents.. Then again, Bordenkra’s drop describes the mask as a “Veil”, so maybe
* SlobsVersusSnobs: From what can be deduced from Bordenkra’s behaviour as the only Havarian diplomat that can be met, Rentorians see themselves as the Snobs to Havarian’s Slobs. Covering for her in a negotiation with an Admiralty member leaves the latter to believe Rentorians to be the disgusting snobs.[[/folder]]
[[folder:Deltreans]]
Members of the Deltrean Empire, of which very few details are given.
----
* HonorBeforeReason: Being distracted from drinking or daydreaming about not drinking, Smith accidently pushes a Deltrean diplomat, prompting the latter to immediately challenge him to a duel. Smith can agree or try to talk him out of it.
* PurpleIsPowerful: The only Deltrean you meet, Palamborat, is clad in purple clothing and cybernetics.
* SmugSnake: Palamborat is a pompous aristocrat that challenges Smith to a duel for no other reason than being accidentally pushed. At this point in his campaign, Smith can easily defeat him using upgraded and high level cards.
* RoyalRapier: Palamborat duel wields both a rapier and a dagger, taking inspiration from actual duel etiquette. This and his HonorBeforeReason behaviour as well as role as a diplomat imply he comes from some sort of aristocratic family.

[[folder:The Ghosts from Rook’s Past]]
At the end of Rook’s first day, an old acquaintance of his will confront him while he’s writing his first report to his client. Either the Rentorian “Assassin” Threekwa, the Jakes “Protégé” Fralx or the Heshian “Rogue Zealot” Gorgula will appear, each with their own score to settle.
----
* ActionGirl: Gorgula, a battle-hardened Heshian who’s ready to throw down.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Gorgula’s eyepatch.
* TheApprentice: Fralx is specifically called “Protégé” by his title, and Rook does feel a bit of remorse killing him if he chooses to do so.
* BaldWomen: Gorgula has no hair on her head.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Threekwa and Fralx both appear in Rook’s intro while he tries to hide his face in a bar. Additionally, you might encounter one of the three before unlocking Rook if you meet him in Sal’s campaign.
* EyepatchOfPower: Gorgula has a fluorescent one over her eye.
* Gaslighting: What Rook attempts to do during the negotiation preceding the battle, retelling events in a way that demeans and underplays the Boss he’s about to fight in order to obtain an advantage.
* GunsAkimbo: How Fralx fights, a style he learned from Rook.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: Threekwa is an assassin that hides his face.

Sal Ik-Derrick used to be the daughter of two infamous "Union Leaders". When her former big sister figure Kashio betrayed them by outing them as agents of the guerilla organization Rise, she also sold Sal into slavery to the Cult of Hesh, changing her name to Ik-Derrick and throwing her into dangerous child labor. Sal is noted to have earned her freedom in 10 years, a record time among the Cult, but she won't be able to move on until she gets revenge on Kashio.
* BoringButPractical: Sal's advantage is that her base cards are slightly more powerful than the other player characters'.
* ItsPersonal: Kashio, Sal's big-sister figure betrayed her parents to the Cult of Hesh for execution and sold Sal into slavery. Sal even mentions that any chance of forgiveness died because Kashio never bought Sal back.

An ex-Admiralty spy who got sick of war and retired. Except with their record of backstabbing, betraying, and manipulating for the cause, there's a huge bounty on their head and they aim to keep it quiet. When a blackmailer threatens to notify the local bounty hunters, they must take a Bog Job - in a bog - to infiltrate a company town and investigate both sides of the local conflict for signs of suspicious activity in the Deep Bog.
* ArtificialLimbs: One of Rook's legs is robotic, due to getting shot with a heavy plasma attack on a job.
* HeadsOrTails: Rook's gambling mechanic lets him flip a coin. Heads leads to a diplomatic stance, while tails leads to an intimidation stance. Cards will be affected based on whether or not the coin is currently positioned in their favored stance, and the type of coin flipped has a secondary effect that is also based on the side.
** HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Rook can also 'rig' the coin so that it will always flip on one side or another a limited number of times, or 'Set' the coin to immediately change its face.
* ManipulativeBastard: Rook is far more manipulative than the other player characters; his main storyline involves playing both sides of a company town war, and his deck revolves around two manipulation cards with a 0-energy cost.

Cult of Hesh
The corrupt and dominant religion of Havaria. They worship Hesh, the Eldritch God who singlehandedly caused the end of the space age in a massive, planet-spanning cataclysm. Their doctrine generally says that they don't actually know much about Hesh, but that they will work on studying Hesh and learn how to prevent a second apocalypse - if the people of Havaria tithe them regularly.

General traders and dockworkers looking to scrape by.
* DiscountCard: Getting certain Jakes to love the grifter will give them their discount card. Each discount is a hard 20-Shill discount (minimum of 1 shill to buy anything) ''that stacks''. Earning their favor quickly can pay off in the long run, as multiple discount cards allow the grifter to buy food, drink, and item cards for a lip-service tax of a single shill each.
