History Characters / TwentyXX

* DropTheHammer: Unreleting Force, Draco's starting weapon, is a pretty nice hammer.

* AmbiguousGender: If the game didn't tell you Hawk was female, you'd have a hard time figuring it out yourself.

* BladeOnAStick: Ace has access to two variants: the Sharp Sharp Spear (which has long horizontal range) and the Spinning Glaive (which allows Ace to perform a wide jump spin attack).

* DifficultButAwesome: She starts out with a weak melee weapon and an equally weak but long range sub weapon, and her powers stat starts out at abysmal '''''-5'''''. Once you gain a few of the more useful boss weapons, however, you can use them practically at will, provided you restore your energy with her Siphon. It gets even better if you manage to get some of her exclusive sub weapons, which are quite powerful.

* MeaningfulName: In-Universe; her skillset perfectly synergizes with the Owl''hawk'' armor set.

* WhipItGood: Her primary weapon is a whip called the Siphon. It has a short range and doesn't combo as well as Ace's melee weapons, nor does it do as much damage. As a trade-off, however, charged attacks with the weapon and the second hit of a combo will drain energy from an enemy, allowing her to refill her energy meter very easily.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: A penguin boss.

* AnAxeToGrind: The Rippling Axe, while very powerful, sacrifices most of Ace's mobility in exchange for raw power. Ace cannot move while attacking with it and a jump attack always counts as charged attack, however Ace plummets down whenever he performs it.

* SimpleStaff: In a sense, the Peacebringer is the simplest looking weapon Draco has access, but he can use it to deflect projectiles back at enemies.

* RapunzelHair: Curiously, despite being an Expy of X, she has long blonde hair like Zero.

* RobotDog: Well, she's a cat rather than a dog, but still.

* BulletHell: There's a reason they're nicknamed "The ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' Twins".

* {{Narrator}}: [[spoiler:The datafiles hint that he's the one who wrote them, or at least the one who wrote the entries for bosses and enemies.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: If what her title card - if fought only at Level 8 - is to be believed, Perforator Alpha is also called ''Mother'' of Bullets and ''Queen'' of Angles, among other names.

* JackOfAllStats: Compared to Ace, Hawk and Draco, Nina's damage output is modest, but most of times she has the superior range of her primary weapons to allow her deal with most situations in a safe distance all without using a single point of energy-- Nina basically doesn't excel at any area in particular, but well-suited for novice and veterans alike.
* LongRangeFighter: Most of her primary weapons focus on blasting enemies from a safe distance.

* SkillGateCharacters: Nina is an odd case of this trope. Her damage potential is the lowest compared to Ace, Hawk and Draco, but the fact she can fight off enemies from a safe distance without worrying about running out of energy means she is less likely to get damaged by some nasty combination of enemies the level may randomly generate - which means higher scores on daily/weekly challenges - at cost of killing bosses a bit slower. While Nina is usually not at the top of leaderboards she's far from the bottom too.

* AchillesHeel: Quite apart from its special weapon weakness, the Shadespur, Perforator Alpha also has serious trouble with the Armatort's Pound core augment, which allows charged shots to cut through enemy attacks. A charged shot from the Pound can counter a lot of Perforator's shots. Hawk's Seeking Striker power can also make Perforator very sad, since it allows rapid-fire damage from any angle.
