Authority Equals Asskicking has been renamed.


* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: With almost 1000 hit points, he's got about twice as much health as other human boss enemies like Alan or [[spoiler: Jeffrey]]. He also fights with the best Rogue weapons in the game and has a unique shotgun-like alt-fire effect on his pistol that can be devastating.

* MageKnight: Like most Technomancers, Zach is both a skilled warrior as well as an electrical space wizard.



* ShockAndAwe: The essence of what being a Technomancer is.



* StalkerWithoutACrush: Viktor obsessively pursues Zach to the ends of Mars (like Dick Dastardly chasing the pigeon, as [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] puts it), even after it no longer becomes rational to do so. Viktor initially wants to obtain the secret of the Technomancers from Zach as blackmail material to gain power over them, but once all the Technomancers defect from Abundance due to being arrested and tortured, the secret becomes pointless and catching Zach seems to be a matter of pride.

* DarkSecret: [[spoiler: It turns out Scott was involved in unethical experimentation on Abundance's mutant slaves in an attempt to find a cure for mutation, because his son was diagnosed with mutation. Also, Scott killed Amelia's father by sabotaging his land rover when he tried to take Scott's son away from him rather than have him be subject to painful experimentation.]]



* WeCanRuleTogether: Scott's the only party member the BigBad has unique dialogue with just before the final battle, likely due to Scott's former role as a scientific leader in Abundance society. He'll praise Scott's past scientific achievements and offer him a place in the new order. Scott just calls him a small-minded fool.

** GunAndSword: The Rogue combat style involves fighting with a shortsword and pistol, while rolling around to evade attacks. It has the highest attack rate and critical hit rate, but the lowest damage per hit. DualWielding the sword and pistol also allows for a mix of melee and ranged combat.

The main protagonist, Zachariah Mancer is a Technomancer cadet who graduates to the full rank of Technomancer at the beginning of the game, as a result becoming an officer in the Abundance Army. Unlike most other Abundance Technomancers, who were born inside the Order, Zachariah is a child from the slums who was discovered and inducted into the Technomancers, something which makes him stand out among his peers.
----
* MageKnight: Like most Technomancers, Zach is both a skilled warrior as well as an electrical space wizard.
* MasterOfAll: Zach can switch freely between 3 different physical combat styles, and also use his Technomancer powers.
** FragileSpeedster: The Warrior combat style is a CombatParkour fighting style utilizing a two-handed staff, rather reminiscent of Darth Maul or Nightwing. It has a decent attack speed and great reach, and also involves jumping, spinning, and flipping around to evade attacks. However, you can't defend yourself other than by dodging, and if an enemy does manage to hit you it usually takes off a large portion of your health. This seems to be the primary combat style utilized by Abundance's Technomancers.
** GunAndSword: The Rogue combat style involves fighting with a shortsword and pistol, while rolling around to evade attacks. It has the highest attack rate and critical hit rate, but the lowest damage per hit. DualWielding the sword and pistol also allows for a mix of melee and ranged combat.
** MightyGlacier: The Guardian combat style involves fighting with a mace and shield, allowing you to shield bash enemies as well as block or parry incoming attacks. The attack rate is the slowest of the 3 styles, but the damage per hit is above average and the shield lets you tank attacks without needing to dodge.
* ScarsAreForever: Zach has a series of scars on the right side of his face from [[spoiler: several years ago when Andrew accidentally blew up the academy, dropping the ceiling on himself and several of the other cadets including Zach.]]


Added DiffLines:

An Abundance scientist and father figure to Zachariah. Scott was once Abundance's greatest scientific mind and quite possibly the smartest man on Mars, but is now an eccentric old man who's more than a little insane.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Scott is more than a little insane, with a rather rambling way of speech and a tendency to forget things in the middle of sentences. His current state is due to years of alcoholism due to [[spoiler: the tragedy surrounding his son]].
* HealingShiv: The first bullet in every mag from Scott's pistol is a "healing bullet" which he shoots you with to restore your health.
* PistolWhip: This is his sole melee combat defensive move. It's not particularly effective against vicious mutant predators or hardened, club-wielding soldiers in body armor.
* SupportPartyMember: Scott has no melee weapon, being limited to fighting with a pistol. He's also not as good a gunfighter as Niesha is, due to his lower Agility stat, and can't equip as good armor as Amelia or Phobos due to his lower Strength stat. However, he's the only party member that can heal you in combat.


Added DiffLines:

* FieryRedHead: She's got red hair and a fiery temper.
* SirSwearsALot: It's pointed out a number of times that Amelia is the most foul-mouthed character in the game.
* StoneWall: She fights with the Guardian combat style, and her high Strength stat lets her equip the best armor in the game.


Added DiffLines:

* CombatPragmatist: She has the unique ability to throw a cloud of poisoned dust at her opponents, poisoning them. It's rather similar to Roy's sand throw ability in ''Mars: War Logs''.


Added DiffLines:

* BrokenAce: He was once the star student amongst the Technomancer cadets and widely expected to become the most powerful Technomancer ever. Then his inability to control his powers caused him to blow up the academy building and lose an arm, causing him to be quietly sent away from the Order, eventually being forced to live as a Merchant's slave for several years until earning his freedom. He's understandably bitter about the whole thing.
* Cyborg: If you follow his companion quest line, Scott can build him a robotic arm to replace the one he lost years ago. This significant improves his combat capabilities as it both improves his fighting style and allows him to use Technomancer powers.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: He and Zach were once close friends during their childhood training as Technomancers, but that was a long time ago and Zach doesn't even recognize him for quite a while when they meet in the present day.
* GlassCannon[=/=]SquishyWizard: As a Technomancer, he's got decent damage output, but his health and defense isn't as good as companions like Amelia or Phobos and he tends to get knocked out relatively quickly.
* TwoferTokenMinority: He's gay and disabled, although neither aspect of his identity is gratuitously emphasized. His personality is much less on-the-nose than, say, ''Dragon Age'''s Dorian.


Added DiffLines:

* MightyGlacier: Phobos is a little slower than normal, but otherwise he's ''by far'' the strongest of your potential companions. He's got about twice as much health as other companions, can equip good armor, and deals big damage with his two-handed heavy weapons.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler: When you first meet Phobos, he's masquerading as "Beg", a simpleton mutant with a monosyllabic vocabulary inside the Ophir mutant pens.]]


Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: No matter what choices you make in the game, Anton never faces a comeuppance despite his many crimes and ruthless exploitation of the poor people of Abundance. Even if you do everything you can to crush Vory operations, in the end Anton is weakened but still remains in power.


Added DiffLines:

The leader of the Opposition, a LaResistance movement against the Abundance government, that wants to end the war with Aurora and remove the [=ASC=] SecretPolice from power. Tracking her down and arresting her is one of the first missions Zachariah is given as an Abundance officer.
----
* AntiClimaxBoss: Unlike Boris Ward, Bulgakov is a mediocre fighter. Despite the fact she has a boss health bar, she's not noticeably tougher than basic Mooks and goes down quite easily if you choose to fight her.
* MercyKill: If you defeat her in combat, she'll beg you to kill her rather than let her be arrested and tortured by the [=ASC=]. You can either oblige with an electrocuting handshake, or ignore her as she's led away.
* SamusIsAGirl: During the mission to track her down, everyone assumes Bulgakov is a man, and Zach is somewhat surprised that she's a woman when he manages to find her. Given the fact that Abundance society seems to have an even 50/50 gender ratio in most martial groups, the surprise seems to be not due to sexism but rather the fact the intel he was given explicitly said he was supposed to be looking for a guy.


Added DiffLines:

The leader of a group of Abundance soldiers trying to desert from the army due to disillusionment with the war effort. Tracking him down and killing him as an example is one of the first missions Zachariah is given as an Abundance officer.
----
* MoreDakka: Boris can go full-auto will his rifle, a powerful attack that can kill you in just a second or two. This is something that normal rifle-wielding enemies simply aren't able to do until much, much later in the game.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Despite being a mini-boss style target of a relatively minor-seeming quest, Boris is quite a dangerous opponent and can kill you quite quickly if you're unprepared. The fact that the quest he's involved in is time-limited and thus is likely to be one of the first quests you do makes him even tougher, since you're going to be at a very low level due to not having had the chance to run around and level up.


Added DiffLines:

* AscendedExtra: He had a relatively minor role in the first Act of ''Mars: War Logs'', and returns in this game as a more major character.


Added DiffLines:

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: With almost 1000 hit points, he's got about twice as much health as other human boss enemies like Alan or [[spoiler: Jeffrey]]. He also fights with the best Rogue weapons in the game.
* DarkIsEvil: He wears a black trenchcoat over a black leather uniform.


Added DiffLines:

* MirrorBoss: As a Technomancer he fights with many of the same techniques and abilities Zach uses.
* RecurringBoss: He can be fought a total of 3 times throughout the game, once in each Act. The first and third fights are completely optional, as the first is part of a side-quest and the third occurs in an off-the-side area of the final map that you can completely miss if you head straight for the final boss fight.
* RivalTurnedEvil: He's been a longtime rival of Zachariah's in Technomancer training, and ultimately ends up siding with Colonel Viktor and the [=ASC=] along with a handful of other Technomancer cadets.
