* DreadfulMusician: One of the {{Running Gag}}s in the first route had him sing to pass the time or get people's attention. His skills are apparently bad enough that Prisoner #3 drills to drown him out and pees in his mouth when he keeps going.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Prisoner #1 tries cheering him up with his copy of ''Hunk Rump''. We don't know if it works, as the game pauses and unpauses before his reaction can be shown. Considering he's visibly smiling through his thought process when asked to "Make a little love" when the only people seen in the story up until that point are guys and he's upset enough to kill himself when Prisoner #1 dies of blood loss, it's safe to say he probably hasn't ruled men out.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He kneels down to apologize for harpooning Prisoner #1 in the gut, but gets distracted by an unfinished puzzle and immediately starts asking where the other pieces are. He also owns a ''Hunk Rump'' trading card that he was pretty sure was a Get Out of Jail Free card until [[FailedASpotCheck he actually looked at it]].

* WouldHurtAChild: Played with. He's not above kidnapping kids or trying to pawn them off to fulfill a bargain (to ''cannibals'', no less), but actually harming them himself is right out. The gun he uses to threaten them and the pony had no bullets.

* LaserGuidedKarma: He harpoons Prisoner #1 while the latter is stuck in the flooding room, and proceeds to ignore his pained groaning and even make the injury worse by pulling him against the bars on the roof.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even with the promise of babies, the elves aren't going to interact with some lunatic waving a gun around intending to kill them for wishes.



* MushroomHouse: One of the elves lives in one, eventually sharing it with the second summoned elf.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: One of the elves has the ability to communicate with animals. He initially thinks it's a lame power, but seeing as that he's in a situation where a prisoner is holding some kids and a pony hostage, it turns out to be the perfect ability to turn the pony on their side.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Has extremely odd methods of getting around problems. In the second route, his first reaction to not having a home is to climb into a pony's mouth to use it for warmth.

[[folder:Prisoners]]
! Prisoner #1 ("The First Guy")
[[quoteright:108:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jbrprisoner1b.png]]
The first prisoner we meet in the story, and initially the only prisoner actively trying to break out of jail. Nothing can be found in his cell, useful or otherwise.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance: He somehow manages to take out a guard while trying to knock on his own door, ''kill'' the guy when he tries to use him as a battering ram, and even use his guts to escape. His bumbling with the pumpkin puzzle somehow eventually helps him and Prisoner #2 finally leave. In the second route, he manages to summon an elf despite not knowing what the runes on his stomach mean.
* AlmostDeadGuy: After getting impaled by Prisoner #2's harpoon, he manages to last until the pair finally escapes before he finally succumbs to his wounds.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Prisoner #2 harpoons him in an attempt to give him a MercyKill.
* LethalKlutz: His stupidity in trying to open the door to his cell ends with him accidentally killing a man.
* SanitySlippage: In the second route, he goes from attempting to manipulate an elf into helping him escape to holding a group of children and a horse hostage.
* StraightGay: The only indication of his attraction to men is when he pulls out his stash of gay porn and decides to jack off to it.

! Prisoner #2 ("The Other Guy")
[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jbrprisoner2.png]]
A man found near the building in front of Prisoner #1's. He ends up falling in with Prisoner #1's escape attempt.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Prisoner #1 tries cheering him up with his copy of ''Hunk Rump''. We don't know if it works, as the game pauses and unpauses before his reaction can be shown.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Prisoner #1 succumbs to his wounds, he's so overcome with loneliness that he shoots himself with his buddy's gun.
* ExpressiveMask: Subverted. He only carves a "happy" and "sad" face into his pumpkin helmet, but sometimes has trouble turning the pumpkin the right way.
* HappyDance: Rebuilding Logorg into Drillgorg makes him so happy he gets down with his funkiest moves.
* MacGyvering: Manages to build stilts out of a broken ladder, and when that doesn't work, he hooks them together to hoist the key up to Prisoner #1. When it's broken beyond repair, he fashions it into an (immovable) robot.

! Prisoner #3 ("The Drill Guy")
[[quoteright:163:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jbrprisoner3.png]]
A man who has been imprisoned for 3 years with nothing but a drill to keep him company. He is stationed in the cell above Prisoner #1.
----
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: "For the first time in your 3 year imprisonment, it occurs to you to drill a large hole in the floor."
* TooDumbToLive: When he gets his head lodged in the hole he drilled, the first thing he does is flail his legs around in an attempt to pry himself off. He ends up snapping his neck in the process.

! "These Two"
A couple of prisoners that killed each other some time in the past. Prisoner #2 finds their skeletons when Prisoner #1 opens the door to their cell. [[Webcomic/ProblemSleuth It's likely we'll never figured out what happened to them, so don't bother.]]
----
* HeroOfAnotherStory: We never find out what stupidity they got up to before they ended up killing each other. [[spoiler:Even when we find out who they were in ''Problem Sleuth'', exactly what went on in the cell is never explained.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: The first and last time we see them are after they've been long dead.
* StrippedToTheBone: Whatever did them in, all that's left of them now is their skeletons.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Guard]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jbrguard.png]]
A hapless guard who gets an increasingly rawer deal the more he interacts with the prisoner on his floor.
----
* AlmostDeadGuy: After getting decapitated and his entrails used as escape rope, he briefly gains consciousness again. The shock and pain from both of these developments kills him a second time.
* OffWithHisHead: Prisoner #1 cuts his head off and buries it in a pumpkin.
* TraumaCongaLine: Let's see: gets knocked out twice, has his head bashed in while being used as a makeshift battering ram, gets decapitated, then the rest of his body is mangled by Prisoner #3's runaway drill. He doesn't regain consciousness until after his intestines are being tugged at by Prisoner #2, at which point he realizes that his body is absolutely screwed and promptly expires.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Elves]]
[[quoteright:129:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jbrelf.png]]
Mystical creatures that Prisoner #1 invokes to help him get out of jail.
----
* CartoonCreature: About the only indication that they ''are'' elves is the pointy ears.
* EatsBabies: They apparently treat babies as enough of a delicacy that they'll trade a wish just to eat one. Not children, though: when Prisoner #1 tries to give them a bus full of schoolchildren in exchange for a second wish, they pointedly refuse.
