The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
Legendary, stealthy assassins from Japan's feudal era, who are well-trained in the art of the sword, and who may or may not have access to magical powers.
Nudity is qualified as either exposed buttocks, breasts, or genitalia or general lack of clothing. Video game nudity is largely a rarity outside of the PC market.
An orphan is a child that has both of his/her natural parents absent from his/her upbringing. The absence could be from the parents' death, abandonement, or "accidental" disappearance.
By definition, a pirate is a (mostly naval) robber without commission from a sovereign nation. While maritime robbery has been around since ancient times, Piracy had its highpoint during the 17th century. They are easily identified by the "Jolly Roger", which is the traditional name of the famous skull flag.
A man or woman working the world's oldest profession. He/she might provide you a cutscene, health, or be a background NPC for an urban setting.
Prostitution is the exchange of money, drugs, favours, or other incentives for the performance of sexual acts.
The act of forcing someone to engage in sexual activity against her or his will. Generally considered one of the worst things one human being can do to another.
Characters that harbor their past even though it may be revealed later. They are commonly uncovered in a number of video games.
One who murders three or more people within a relatively short time span.
An intimate physical activity between two or more individuals.
Male characters who are depicted in an overtly sexual manner.
Female characters who are designed with highly idealized figures and proportions, outfits that are revealing and/or form-fitting, and prone to ending up in completely over-the-top poses designed to show off their bodies.
Forced labor, indentured servitude, humans relegated to property. One of the greatest affronts to individual freedom. Some games employ this as a gameplay mechanic or a major story point.
The act of killing a fellow teammate in a game, to boost score or just for fun. This often results in being booted from games, and several games allow the server to do this automatically.
People who are aged during the growth period of adolescence, traditionally between 13 and 17 years old.
A tragic hero is a protagonist who makes several mistakes to fall from glory, or is affected by tragedy and seeks revenge or redemption.
An antagonist who isn't a villain by choice and is not in control of their emotions or a victim of tragic circumstance.
The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
Unrequited love is when one person loves another, but that love is unreturned. It could be unreturned because that person hates the other person, just doesn't love the other person, or doesn't even know he or she is loved by that person.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
