* SmugSnake: Dumoscos is always overconfident because he's such a strong gladiator who's killed many foes in combat and he relies on his seemingly impenetrable body and armor. Yet he isn't smart enough to believe that his foes can think outside the box--something Dumoscos ''never'' does.
* StarterVillain: He's the first named antagonist that David and his allies have to fight.
* WakeUpCallBoss: David and the other gladiators "win" the Qualification Tournament and only suffer a few casualties. Then Dumoscos shows up and [[spoiler:kills most of them while injuring David, Reeve, and Ralousha]], proving that ''any'' gladiator is a force to be recokened with, and that ''any'' tournament can be modified if Crawlox wants it to be.
* YouNeedABreathMint: Dumoscos, while holding Lizvin near his mouth, reminds Lizvin about how his previous victim pleaded and cried for mercy as he's threatening him. Lizvin recoils from his breath and tells Dumoscos that the victim was probably crying for someone to wash Dumoscos' mouth out.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sojen]]

A spear-nosed bat gladiator scheming to break out of the GDF.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sojen is...odd. He approaches David completely at random, informs him that he's going to break out of the GDF and needs his help. Immediately afterwards, he tells David they're gonna be close friends from now on.
* ExcrementStatement: Sojen's crime that got him admitted into the GDF? Defecating into a car just to piss off the owner.
* YouNeedABreathMint: When Sojen wraps David within his wings and speaks close to his face, David immediately plugs his nose and asks Sojen if it's "really that hard for anthros and aliens to use toothbrushes."

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chenllik]]

A four-armed gladiator who also works as a chef serving other gladiators.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: It's yet to be revealed what Chenllik was imprisoned for, and whether or not he enjoys slaughtering other gladiators during the tournaments.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: He's an assertive four-armed alien who subtly threatens David not to dig into other people's business, or else he might end up hurt or dead.
* SupremeChef: He knows how to whip up tasty, foreign meals in a short amount of time that even humans like David thoroughly enjoy.
* YouNeedABreathMint: After David pries into his personal business, Chenllik intimidates David by getting in his personal space and breathing heavily against his nape. When Chenllik asks what David learned, he flatly tells him that he should just wear nose plugs all the time because Chenllik ([[RunningGag and everyone else David runs into]]) has bad breath.

!!"New Meat" Gladiators
[[folder:In General]]

The twelve prisoners who were recently transferred into the Gladiator Detention Facility.
----
* BlackAndGrayMorality: All of the prisoners vary in terms of their crimes. One committed grand theft auto, one was a drug dealer, one was convicted of [[NoodleIncident public masturbation]], etc. Out of the twelve prisoners, only ''one'' of them was a shameless SerialKiller who bragged about killing fifteen human beings.
* DwindlingParty: By the end of chapter 6, there's only [[spoiler:three]] of them still standing.
* RedShirtArmy: It's expected for the new meat to get killed as early as a Qualification Tournament--to the point where everyone in the GDF ignores them or bullies them because they know the new meat won't last long. [[spoiler:Chapter 6 more or less confirms this]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Out of the twelve gladiators, only six of them have their full names revealed. And as of chapter 6, [[spoiler:all but three of them are dead, and hardly any of them had their backstory revealed]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Donald Tengam]]

One of the few new human convicts.
----
* BackForTheDead: After he's introduced in chapter 3, he disappears from the story. He doesn't show up again until chapter 6, and is immediately killed off.
* DeadpanSnarker: When ARB asks him what species he is to input in the GDF's records, he sarcastically tells him he's a meat popsicle. [[{{Troll}} ARB actually types that into the records]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He dies at some point in chapter 6, but it's not specified when it happens. None of the characters seem to care much after he perishes.
* RedShirt: He's shown to be a bit snarky, but that's it. Then he dies at some point in chapter 6.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jamie Garvon]]

An anthro convicted of three counts of rape and murder, and David's first friend in the GDF.
----
* AffablyEvil: For someone who raped and killed three people, Jamie's a surprisingly reasonable and kind person to talk to.
* AmbiguouslyGay: It's never specified if the people he raped were male or female, even when David asks him. He off-handedly tells David if he was gonna rape him, "it would've happened by now."
* CatsAreMean. Zig-zagged. Jamie kidnapped, raped, and murdered three people all because he was angry over his job and was frustrated over his sex life. In the GDF, however, he acts very nice around David. Ralousha points out that this is only ''because'' he's in prison; outside of prison, Jamie would view David as no one important or prey for him to attack.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:His head is crushed ''very slowly'' by Dumoscos' hand]].
* MauveShirt: He has a lot more character compared to any of the other new meat gladiators, has much more screentime, and even teaches David a few tips about how to survive in prison. Nevertheless, he's still a minor character, and [[spoiler:he's dead by chapter 6]].
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:His death in chapter 6 hammers in that AnyoneCanDie in ''any'' tournament, regardless of how important said character appears to be, and regardless of how challenging a tournament may be]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Marty Gonlit]]

A meek anthro convicted of possessing child pornography.
----


* TwoferTokenMinority: He's presumably black (or mixed) and is a human being, both of which are rare in the ''Tails Series'', given that most of the characters tend to be aliens or PettingZooPeople.

!!Main Characters
[[folder:David Errgash]]

A young man who was falsely accused of attempting to start a mass shooting in his college campus.
----
* ActionSurvivor: He has absolutely no weapons training and isn't shown to be much of a fighter. However, David is a very fast learner and is capable of wiggling himself out of tight situations when need be.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: It's unknown if David is African-American, mixed, Dominican, or some other ethnicity. This wasn't even hinted at until chapter 5 when Marty called him a "nigger."
* CatchPhrase: "Goddamn it."
* DeadpanSnarker: Has a habit of reply to other characters' question in a witty or dry way.
* FishOutOfWater: He's never been to prison before, let alone the Gladiator Detention Facility. The first handful of chapters are about him adjusting to his new prison life as he gradually becomes a gladiator.
* LaserBlade: His WeaponOfChoice after Jonny recommended it to him.
* RunningGag: Poor David seems to be a magnet that attracts people who have awful breath and like to get in his personal space. This hasn't gone unnoticed.
--> '''David''': " Is it really that hard for you anthros and aliens to use toothbrushes?"
--> '''Sojen''': "Fuck's a toothbrush?"
--> '''David''': ''[[LampshadeHanging Should've known]]''.
* TwoferTokenMinority: He's presumably black (or mixed) and is a human being, both of which are rare in the ''Tails Series'', given that most of the characters tend to be aliens or PettingZooPeople.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He spends most of his time acting like a tough guy and talking to some of the inmates with a snarky attitude--something Jamie advises him ''not'' to do, because many inmates can tell when someone's faking. This is proven right at the end of chapter 5 when Marty almost chokes him to death after David pushed his buttons too much.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lizvin "Liz" Concard]]

A veteran gladiator who was guilty of raping his wife.
----
* ADogNamedDog: Liz is a lizard.
* DecoyProtagonist: Non-fatal example. The first two chapters focus solely on him and introducing some major players, along with his personal dilemma. As soon as chapter 3 starts, the narration switches over to David, while Lizvin is OutOfFocus.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: His main dilemma. Liz has been in the GDF for so long that he doesn't know what to do once he's released. He spends all of chapter 2 wandering around asking various characters what they plan on doing once they're free just to see if it'll help him come up with an answer.
* LaserBlade: His WeaponOfChoice.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Downplayed. It's confirmed that he did in fact rape his wife, but she was the only person he raped. Besides that, Liz is generally a pleasant and friendly person to be around.

[[/folder]]

!!Primary Gladiators
[[folder:Chisa]]

One of Lizvin's friends.
----
* ActionGirl: She's introduced covered in several bruises and with a massive laceration around her gut, seconds before she off-handedly mentions that she killed the two gladiators who gave her said bruises.
* TheAntiNihilist: Like Lizvin, she has no idea what she's gonna do once she's released. But she doesn't care. All she plans on doing is "heading forward" and living life simply, regardless of what good or bad trials she ends up facing.
* CatsAreMean: Downplayed. She's a white tiger who seems to be kinda snarky, but other than that, she's a nice anthro.
* DeadpanSnarker: Seems to be one. When Liz, figuratively speaking, says a space serpent "bit my ass," she dryly asks if he can still shit properly, before smiling cheekily.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Bossly Bosmogan]]

Another one of Lizvin's friends who shares the same cell block as him.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''B'''ossly '''B'''osmogan. Bonus points for being a '''b'''ird.
* NiceGuy: Definitely one of the nicer gladiators in the GDF.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Duunley Shuvv]]

A menacing rapist who longs to be released from the GDF.
----
* CardCarryingVillain: He's very proud of all the rapes he's committed, and enjoys bragging about his crimes to others. He even tells Lizvin he's gonna go back to raping people the moment he's released.
* SerialRapist: Duunley's raped ''at least'' thirty-two women.
* SharkMan: He's an anthropomorphic hammerhead shark.
* SleevesAreForWimps: He wears an open brown vest with no shirt underneath.
* YouNeedABreathMint: Nobody can stand Duunley's breath, which apparently smells like "rotten sushi plucked out of a dog’s asshole," according to David. Duunley's fully aware of this and gets in people's faces just to gross them out.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Unklok Koknarf]]

An emperor of a foreign planet driven by the notion of valuing what he needs over what he wants.
----
* TheAntiNihilist: Unklok believes that everyone's lives are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. He doesn't bother contemplating his existence short of living his life as simply as possible and doing whatever he needs to do.
--> '''Lizvin''': "Life is ''not'' simple."
--> '''Unklok''': "Yes, it is, Liz. You wake up. You eat. You fight. You shit. You fuck. You sleep. Then you repeat it again until you die."
--> '''Lizvin''': "You don't think there's more to life than that?"
--> '''Unklok''': "There isn't. There never was! There never will be. How can one believe there's more to life when their own life is essentially meaningless?"
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Implied. Unklok has a family back on his home planet that "misses him dearly," although it's possible Unklok was merely talking about his ogorso clan.
* FatBastard: Arguably the fattest gladiator in the GDF, and certainly one of the more malicious ones.
* JabbaTableManners: He's a very messy eater who talks with his mouth full. David is visibly disgusted when he sees Unklok munching on nachos and spilling grease and cheese all over his belly.
* TheUnfettered: Unklok doesn't care what he has to do or who he has to harm/kill in order to achieve his goals. If he needs to do something, he'll get it done, no matter the circumstances.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Justified. Unklok is so fat that he physically ''can't'' wear a shirt, so he just walks around wearing nothing but trousers.
* YouNeedABreathMint: It's mentioned multiple times that his breath is rotten. In chapter 4, David tells him that he ''needs'' to eat more breath mints after Unklok invades his personal space.

[[/folder]]

!!Other Gladiators
[[folder:Dumoscos]]

A rock-like alien creature known as a daemunus who enjoys slaying other gladiators.
----
* TheDreaded: To the "new meat" gladiators. The second they realize they have to fight a daemunus, a creature with skin that's almost impossible to ''scratch'', they start panicking.
* DropTheHammer: His weapon is a giant, spiked hammer.
* EvilIsHammy: He talks in an exaggerated tone and enjoys bragging about who he is and how great he is.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:He's sliced in half by David's laser blade after he, Reeve, and Ralousha manage to corrode his seemingly impenetrable armor]].
* HornsOfVillainy: He's got a pair of curved horns and is described as looking demonic. He's also the first major villain of the story.
* MightyGlacier: He's a massive, burly alien with a rock-like body who wear impenetrable armor. That being said, he's slow, and an easy target.
* {{Narcissist}}: When the crowd starts cheering his name during the Qualification Tournament, he sets down his weapon and takes in everyone's cheers as if it's a pleasing fragrance.
--> '''Dumoscos''': "That's right, that's right everybody! I know you all love me!"
* SmugSnake: Dumoscos is always overconfident because he's such a strong gladiator who's killed many foes in combat and he relies on his seemingly impenetrable body and armor. Yet he isn't smart enough to believe that his foes can think outside the box--something Dumoscos ''never'' does.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Marty Gonlit]]

A meek anthro convicted of possessing child pornography.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: ''Nobody'' likes Marty. Everyone either teases him for wetting his pants when he first got admitted into the GDF, or they bully and abuse him for being a pedophile.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He tries to act nice around others, but only so he'll have people to protect him. It's made clear in chapter 5 that he doesn't like David at all when he tries to choke him to death after he insulted him a couple times.
* BringMyBrownPants: He pisses his pants after seeing one of the convicts' explosive collars getting set off in front of him.
* ButtMonkey: He's basically everyone's punching bag, and exists only for everyone to tease him or insult him for "playing with little boys."
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He has acidic venom squirted in his eyes, and then has more venom sprayed all over his head. His head slowly dissolves in full detail, complete with him vomiting up blood, his teeth falling out, followed by ''his jaw'']].
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Just before he dies, he has acid squirted into his eyes after the visor on his helmet is broken]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he's choking David, Marty points out that nobody in the GDF is better than he is and shouldn't behave that way, because ''everyone'' has committed some kind of crime. Technically, he's not wrong.
* MauveShirt: Between him and Jamie, he's one of the few new meat gladiators who has plenty of character and more screentime than the other new convicts. Despite this, he isn't integral to the plot, and [[spoiler:he dies in chapter 6]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Implied. Marty never physically hurt or raped a child; he only had videos and photos of such imagery. David calls him out on it and tells him the only reason why he didn't do it was because he's too much of a coward, so he just "beat off to other people doing it."
