* BuxomIsBetter: The only thing mentioned about her is that she has very large breasts.

* IllGirl

* RaisedCatholic: By his parents, obviously. His brother, Raphael, also contributes.

* GrayEyes

* BadAss: Beat the hell out of three freshmen, a sophomore and a senior (whether it was in one go or on separate occasions remains unknown). Talked trash to three boys even though he knew an ass-whipping was coming. Despite being warned to stay quiet during her Orientation, still stands up to Omatsu Reiko. Even with a [[spoiler: bullet in the thigh]], he attacks - and almost succeeds in killing - another student he'd come across. This guy seems to have extra BadAss points to spare at the moment.

* IRegretNothing: Averted. He allows himself to be beaten up by a gang of guys when he realizes their ringleader is the older brother of a boy Jonny disabled in a fight. Normally he'd be able to take care of himself in this situation (see: [[BadAss Bad Ass Trope]]), but his [[GuiltComplex guilt]] and regrets won't allow him.

* JapaneseHonorifics: Omatsu-San uses these when talking to the competitors, and states that she'd like them to do the same in return.

* TheArcher: His issued weapon is a crossbow, but it is unknown at this point whether or not he is able to handle it with any real proficiency.

* ColdSniper / TheArcher: This seems more than obvious. I mean, her weapon is a BOW of all things.

!! Eduardo 'Eddy' Escobar
->“Y-You attacked me! And sc-screaming like…like some kind of cr-crazy nut on top…on top of that! I…I had every right to defend myself!”

A contest winner from Walker Clemens High School in Texas, he is a conflicted young man who is unsure of his place in the world. He also had the great misfortune of being the first student to be brutalized physically. His [[ADayInTheLimelight Day in the Limelight]] is Chapter 23: Dramatis Personae Overture, “A Question of Faith”. Revealed to be a devout Catholic, he nonetheless wavers between full belief and doubt due to his being bullied in school. He also fears his size and the possibility that he can end up hurting others because of it. While he is quiet and unassuming, completely devoted to his faith; he has exhibited uncontrollable burst of anger in both the past and in his current situation. Whether this leads him down a darker path or not remains to be seen.

* ButtMonkey: Out of all the characters thus far, Eduardo sure has taken the most beatings.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 23: Dramatis Personae Overture, “A Question of Faith”
* GoodShepherd: So far. Remians to be seen whether or not this particular trope will last the length of [[DeadlyGame the Blitz]].
* RaisedCatholic: By his parents, obviously. His brother, Raphael, also contributes.
* FaithHeelTurn: Possible. With everything that has happened to him already in just the first two hours, Eddy's faith in the Almighty might start to fade faster and faster.

!! Charlene 'Charlie' Rae Dolan
->"Look. I know you're a Buddhist and everythin' but you gotta understand what's goin' on 'round here, Rahdi. This here's a situation where it's killed or be killed. To protect you, I ain't got no choice but to fight. It's the only way to keep you safe."

A contest winner from Walker Clemens High School in Texas, she is a state-native who has spent the majority of her young life divided between the two ideological worlds of her divorced parents. Her [[ADayInTheLimelight Day in the Limelight]] is Chapter 2: “Instruction on How to Kill Your Best Friend”. Charlene comes across as a pragmatic realist, as evidenced through her run-in with Wendy Prince. She also shows signs of a sort of 'violent overprotectiveness' in her desire to keep her best friend Rahdi Patel safe from those who would hurt her. It is hinted at early on that she might not have a problem killing the other students when she begins to mentally size a few of them up during Orientation. With her skills in hunting and tracking along with the survivalist philosophy instilled by her estranged father, Charlie Rae could become a force to be reckoned with in [[DeadlyGame The Blitz.]]

* AbusiveParents: According to best friend Rahdi Patel, her father. Charlene doesn't have the best of relationships with him. This also evidenced by the mentioning of 'supervised visitations' at one point.
* ActionGirl: Charlene is a relatively straight example.
* ActionSurvivor: Charlie Rae most likely ranks relatively high among the 28 other students brought to the Kasanagi Eto. Her skills in hunting and survival training taught to her by her father only makes this even more of a certainty.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 2: “Instruction on How to Kill Your Best Friend”.
* BigDamnHeroes: Her subsequent rescue of Rahdi. Comes complete with a freshly opened can of whoopass on Rob [=McKean=].
* ColdSniper / TheArcher: This seems more than obvious. I mean, her weapon is a BOW of all things.
* EscortMission: Charlie Rae makes this her self-appointed mission during [[DeadlyGame The Blitz.]]
* {{Expy}}: The Hunger Games. Charlene shares MORE than a few similarities with Katniss Everdeen.
* TheLoad: Not Charlie Rae herself. But her best Rahdi Patel definitely qualifies as this.

!! Alisia 'Lisi' Benetti
-> "Seriously, are you deaf or just stupid? God! Why do I have to keep repeating myself with you? HURRY THE HELL UP!"

A contest winner from George R. Diomatti High School in New York who has the honour of appearing (or at least being mentioned) in more chapters than any other contestant so far. Her [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] was the appropriately named Chapter 6: The Beggars and the Elite. The daughter of a New York Senator and a resident of the Upper East Side, it isn't surprising that Alisia is a fashion-conscious socialite with superiority issues, however according to her [[TheDragon condidante]] Brenda Hughes, there may be more to Alisia than you might think.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 6: The Beggars and the Elite.
* AlphaBitch: She definitely has all the characteristics, but it is implied in Brenda Hughes' [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] that there are worse girls at George R. Diomatti.
* CostumePorn: Best friends [[RichBitch Alisia and Brenda]] have this in spades.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: Used plenty of times in her everyday life, but subverted in her futile attempts to throw money at Omatsu-San and the soldiers to gain freedom.
* Expy: Of Paris Hilton, so says WordOfGod.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Could attempting to use a designer sandal pump as a bludgeoning weapon foreshadow a future CurbStompBattle?
* HairTriggerTemper: Alisia has her driver fired, [[{{Jerkass}} but not before beating him in front of the JFK International,]] all because he may have [[DisproportionateRetribution scowled at her.]]
* HystericalWoman: She becomes one of these very early on into [[DeadlyGame the Blitz]].
* IdiotBall: Since her exit from the Orientation Room she seems to have made no attempts whatsoever to retrieve her weapon from the chest, the location of which was handed to her in an envelope.
* MoralityPet: As of Chapter 19, Brenda Hughes.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Never.
* RaceLift: WordOfGod confirms that in the early plans for the FanFic, Alisia Benetti was originally Alice Bennett.
* RichBitch

!! Robert 'Bobby' Cheveyo

A contest winner from Bear Ridge High School in New Mexico, as well as being the first character directly introduced through the [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] method, his first appearance and starring role being [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Chapter 3: Awake & Arrival]]. Despite at first being scared, confused trying (and failing) not to throw up, his first in-game appearance has him rescuing a DamselInDistress. He is the only character not to be specifically aligned with any sort of clique, hobby or extra curricular activity, making him TheEveryman. It is also perhaps notable that including his [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] and his other small appearance later on, [[TheVoiceless he hasn't had a single line of dialogue.]]

* ActionSurvivor: Despite being TheEveryman, Robert manages to rescue [[DamselInDistress Brenda]] in Chapter 19: The Princess, The Indian and the Death that Came for Them. Whether this is a one time thing or something that will be built on later, he certainly (and surprisingly) has shades of this.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 3: Awake & Arrival.
* AudienceSurrogate
* BigDamnHeroes: A frantic version. He manages to rescue Brenda Hughes from being [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] and subsequently murdered by [[spoiler: Trevor Gates,]] managing to tackle him away from her. While embroiled in the brief fight, he notices that [[spoiler: Trevor's]] [[ExplosiveLeash PISCES PRC-001XD]] has been set off. Remembering the briefing about Mobile Danger Zones, he panics and flees before his collar can activate.
* TheEveryman
* FriendlessBackground: Being the only student from Bear Ridge High School in New Mexico, he's at a severe disadvantage having no friends to rely on for protection or company. It's rubbed in his face when you realise most of the other students from various schools already have predetermined alliances, and will be less than willing to accept a complete stranger into the group.
* MaleGaze: One of the first things the reader learns about him is that he was trying to avoid being caught by Peggy Ryman whilst checking out her chest.
* TheVoiceless: Whilst he's been playing this trope straight so far, it isn't yet known how much longer it will last for.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Happens at the end of his [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight.]]

!! [=JoAnne=] Dechon
-> "O…Okay. We…we're gonna make it. But to do that…to do that, we need to…to get to our weapons...Only to protect ourselves, Limp-Lungs."

A contest winner from Erin Baker High School in Ohio, as well as being one of the four contestants to have a blood relative participating in the Blitz alongside them. She is one of the few contestants who can be easily identified in the chapter "Awake & Arrival" whilst half the contestants clamber about in the darkness and shout for their friends. Her [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] is Chapter 8: I'd Do Anything to Keep You Safe. She is one of several contestants that doesn't immediately succumb to fear and paranoia and manages to get her bearings and quickly create a waypoint towards her designated box. She is very protective of her younger sister, Sadie, who suffers from asthma. It is unknown at this point if she'll stay loyal and protective of Sadie throughout the game, or whether her role as the protector will lead to her downfall.

* ActionGirl: She has shades of this that puts her at the same rank as CuteBruiser Leslie Thurston, or perhaps lower.
* ActionSurvivor: She is being built up to becoming one of these.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 8: I'd Do Anything to Keep You Safe.
* EscortMission: Due to her responsibility in taking care of Sadie, her entire time on the Kasanagi-Eto will probably be this.
* HeroicBSOD: Played with. In the second half of her [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] she breaks down and considers abandoning [[TheLoad her sister,]] but she soon snaps out of it. Could be seen as {{Foreshadowing}} to the sisters dynamic once they are truly placed under pressure.
* {{Tomboy}}: She certainly isn't interested in manicures and fashion, can take care of herself in a fight and punched out the AlphaBitch in the school cafeteria.
* UnkemptBeauty: Again with having a strong dislike for the AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse.

!! Sadie Dechon
->“Y…You d-didn't…have to be…so rough…you…you know…!"

A contest winner from Erin Baker High School in Ohio, as well as being one of the four contestants to have a blood relative participating in [[DeadlyGame The Blitz]] alongside them. She is one of the few contestants who can be easily identified in the chapter "Awake & Arrival" whilst half the contestants clamber about in the darkness and shout for their friends. Her [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] has not yet occurred, but she has a supporting role in the chapter ‘I’d Do Anything To Keep You Safe’. She, like her sister is one of several contestants that doesn't immediately succumb to fear and paranoia however she is hindered by her asthma, earning her the nickname ‘Limp Lungs’, and also slowing both her and her sister down. Although she seems to be fairly clever, it is unknown at this point if she’ll become TheSmartGuy to [=JoAnne’s=] [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]], or if she’ll become TheLoad, but one thing that is for certain is that her sister is fiercely protective of her.

* EscortMission: What her and [=JoAnne's=] dynamic appears to be in the earlier, and possibly later chapters.
* FunTShirt: "No, I'm The SMART One!"
* IllGirl
* TheLoad: Sadie seems to be this, however it is hinted that whatever talents she may have will come into use later on.
* TheSmartGuy: If her T-shirt and geeky demeanor are to be trusted.

!! Casey Fuller
->"You DO remember what 'fun' is right? You know. That thing doesn't involve us talking about bullies who take delight kicking my ass on a daily basis? F-U-N? Fun? Ringing any bells? Jogging any memories?"

A contest winner from Grand Terrace High School in Oregon who is referenced several times before his [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] Chapter 26: Emptiness and. He is one of the very few contestants who has any concern for his peers, regardless of whether or not they are family. He has an edge in that due to his fathers profession, he has a familiarity with the layouts of numerous drilling platforms similar to the [[ClosedCircle Kasanagi-Eto]] which could make him a valuable asset for any potential LaResistance hoping to pull an escape attempt. His best friend is [[FieryRedhead Leslie Thurston]], who makes a habit of fighting Casey's battles for him.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: He has a crush on his best friend Leslie, but finds his feelings both inappropriate and awkward.
* HumiliationConga: A non-villainous example, Casey has hidden feelings for his best friend Leslie, but refuses to act on them, and is constantly embarrassed by her fighting his battles for him. In addition to this he is frequently bullied and mugged at school, and to make matters worse [[spoiler: not only is Leslie now in a relationship with the guy who has been making Casey's life a living hell, but she is also carrying his child.]] and now of all things he's been placed into the Blitz.
* TheSmartGuy
* StupidSexyFriend: Casey often feels uncomfortable when Leslie shows too much skin.
* TheWoobie: Whether or not he is the Woobie of the entire story isn't yet clear, but he certainly makes a good candidate.

Noted by several other contestants to be [[AmbiguouslyEvil attractive and having a sinister aura.]] It is revealled that he is a sufferer of a severe case of Bipolar Disorder that results in increasingly poor decisions, a HairTriggerTemper and paranoia. Not much else is known about him other than him being a definate WildCard.
