History Characters / TheEndTimesVermintidePlayerCharacters

* NotHimself: {{Downplayed|Trope}} as a necromancer -- she's mostly herself, but the incident with Sofia and some odd behaviour have the others worried there's "[[DemonicPossession more than one set of hands on the reins]]". Cree most distinct change is down to the way she speaks, where Sienna in every other career speaks in a loud, gruff and playfully proud tone when talking to her friends and when in the thick of battle, however as a Necromancer she usually has a distinctly low and unusually calm that’s uncharacteristically insensitive to her friends concerns, and especially when using her abilities in battle, where her ability lines lack any of her jovial or energetic self.

* CriticalHitClass: As a Grail Knight, his Virtue of Knightly Temper talent would certainly behoove you to play him like this. Due to how the talent works[[note]]guarantees a OneHitKill if the target's current health is lower than 4x (2x for monsters and Lords) the damage of your next CriticalHit.[[/note]], it would be wise to stack critical chance as high as humanly possible, which can be further boosted by completing Duties and gaining the right Benisons, that can also be enhanced by Virtue of Purity. When paired with an Executioner Sword, a critical heavy attack can one-shot a Chaos Warrior on Legend most of the time, and a high-crit Blessed Blade can instantly delete a monster as soon as it dips under half health.

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Grail Knight Markus likely holds the record for achieving that role the fastest in history; normally it takes years if not decades.

* RuggedScar: Has a prominent scar on his chin in ''1'', and gains a particularly nasty, claw-like one over his left eye in ''2''. We can probably guess some Skaven was responsible for the latter.

* {{Irony}}: She constantly browbeats the party for their supposed ignorance and lack of understanding of the world around them, but seems to like Kruber specifically due to his down-to-earth mindset and willingness to admit he's out of his element when it comes to most things that isn't swinging a sword.

* {{Irony}}: Becoming a [[PlantPerson Sister of the Thorn]] would mean Kerilian is now, ''literally'', a Lumberfoot.

** With Sienna. As an elf, she believes that magic is a gift and that those who have it should be respected for their control, not feared for the possibility of corruption, and further acknowledges that Sienna is more perceptive to subtle shifts in the Winds of Magic [[YouAreACreditToYourRace than she thought humans were capable of]]. It's even implied that Sienna knows why she's in Ubersreik. This escalates to VitriolicBestBuds in the sequel, where Sienna is perfectly happy to throw Kerillian's own insults back at her if she can but is still the friendliest with her on average.

* NotHimself: {{Downplayed|Trope}} as a necromancer -- she's mostly herself, but the incident with Sofia and some odd behaviour have the others worried there's "[[DemonicPossession more than one set of hands on the reins]]".

** Necromancer boasts a very powerful kit surrounding damage-over-time and additional contributions from her skeletal minion squad, with highly consistent crowd-control abilities and the Soulstealer staff, a unique weapon that does incredibly well against any kind of non-monster enemy due to it ignoring armor if used right. However, it also has the lowest base health out of all of her classes, has no innate DamageReduction, and has comparatively few ways to generate temporary HP to use as a buffer against enemy attacks and venting Overcharge, meaning that a Necromancer who's caught in a bad spot without minions to back her up is likely to go down quickly.

* MyGreatestFailure: Her dark secret revealed in ''Blood in the Darkness'' is that [[spoiler: she incinerated a man (presumably a Bright Wizard) who helped her harness and control her fire magic. There was also the time when a Witch Hunter accused a friend of hers of being an evil witch, and Sienna killed him to protect the friend. Unfortunately, afterwards it was revealed that said friend really was the monster the hunter claimed, and performed more atrocities unimpeded. Lohner dug around and found that [[https://www.vermintide.com/news/franz-lohners-chronicle-reflections this individual was her twin sister who was a necromancer]], and who Sienna later managed to kill herself...but now it sounds a lot like [[BackFromTheDead her incineration didn't stick]].]]

* OneRiotOneRanger: Well, five rangers. Their arrangement is initially impromptu due to them all just happening to end up trapped in Ubersreik, but in the sequel they're basically an unofficial Empire commando unit that Lohner trusts to execute any important mission he comes across, usually at a hundreds-to-one numerical disadvantage. He's consistently proven right. By the DLC the team more or less knows that they're close to unstoppable, such as when they think that being attacked by a small army of Skaven and Chaos soldiers isn't sufficient grounds to call off their pub crawl in "A Quiet Drink."

* CriticalHitClass: As a Pyromancer, Sienna gains an escalating bonus to her critical hit chances the higher her heat build up is.

* DeadpanSnarker: While they're '''''all''''' guilty of this, Sienna has the honor of being the only person to face Victor (and even Kerillian) in SnarkToSnarkCombat and ''win''. Specifically, she suggests that Victor's threats about her judgement are to hide that he's smitten with her, which leaves him [[{{Angrish}} sputtering in anger]]. She's mentioned this theory to Kruber as well.

''(...)''\\

* YourSoulIsMine: As a Necromancer, Sienna has access to several soul-absorption abilities and weapons, namely the Soulstealer Staff that kills its targets by ripping their souls from their bodies.

* DemBones: As a Necromancer, Sienna's career skill raises several skeletal men-at-arms out of the ground to attack her enemies.

* GlassCannon: All three of her base careers have flimsy defenses in some way to offset their sheer offensive power, not helped by her abundance of staffs that grant immense firepower but lack of stamina in her melee weapons for defending.

* SinisterScythe: The exclusive melee weapon type for her Necromancer career.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: As a Necromancer, Sienna is adamant that she's still on the side of good despite the other four having massive misgivings about the nature of her new powers, with promotional materials placing a strong emphasis on her proving to them that her powers can be wielded for noble causes.

* FightingYourFriend: A brief three-way fight happens shortly after Sienna acquires her necromancer abilities after battling Sofia again, as [[https://www.vermintide.com/news/franz-lohners-chronicle-times-of-tribulation detailed in Lohners journal]]. When Sienna is unconscious and unwittingly summoning the dead to protect her from the rest of the Five approaching, Saltzpyre wastes zero time in identifying that Sienna is a necromancer now and that the others will likely try to stop him from putting her down, and so he spins around to sucker punch Kerillian in the face to knock her out and takes Bardin down as well while handling the approaching undead. Markus, however, silently refused to help him slay Sienna and knocked Saltzpyre out with a blow to the back of the head via a rock before recovering Siennas body and carting everyone home. Amazingly, once out of the heat of the moment, Saltzpyre is willing to ''tolerate'' Sienna and her new abilities, preventing anymore fights.
