History Characters / TheQuarry

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:If he is caught in a trap while running from werewolf Chris, the former will bite him in the stomach before slicing him in half]].
* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler:Sabotages the minivan in hopes of spending one more night with Emma. However, the players learn from her conversation with Abigail that she has no interest in making their relationship more than what it was, and she can later be firm with him about it if the player makes the right choices]].

* InsecureLoveInterest: [[spoiler:If bitten, rather than becoming more of a jerk as Nick did, his insecurities about his relationship with Emma become exacerbated. If they meet while he's in this state, he'll scream at her to stay away from him because "summer's over" before losing control and devouring her]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: He is willing to do anything to win Emma over, not caring what it takes, in fact, this is what leads to him sabotaging the minivan and putting everyone in that situation with [[spoiler:the werewolves]]. Granted, he couldn't have known there were werewolves in the forest but had he accepted that Emma didn't want a real relationship with him, the events of the game would have never happened. During the ending scene where he and Emma can meet up, if the player chooses to make him bitter and place the blame on her, she calls him out for being selfish and even implies it is one of the reasons she broke up with him. In one of the dialogue choices where Jacob can be particularly nasty about it to her, he tells her he did it for her, but she tells him that's not the case and he had done it for himself.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Boorish, selfish, and mean in his comments at times, but when he thinks Abigail is in danger, he is willing to run through the forest half-dressed to help her. While a dumb decision, it has a touching explanation, as even if he isn't close friends with Abi, he doesn't want her or any of his counselor friends to be hurt.
* LadykillerInLove: While he fits the womanizer jock stereotype and agreed with Emma [[FriendsWithBenefits that their sexual relationship was just a summer fling]], Jacob really fell for her and was hoping to get a more serious relationship with her. It gets deconstructed as [[LoveMakesYouStupid his decisions to spend more time with her]] [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom led to the events of the night going out of hand]].

* ManChild: Jacob is a young adult of college age like the rest of the counselors, but he's easily the most childish of his peers. This comes across harmlessly enough in his default goofy, carefree, and friendly nature and in his excitement and joy [[ShipperOnDeck over his friends' romantic successes]] and over finding watermelons and Peanut Butter Butterpops with Emma in their hunt for party supplies. However, it also manifests in him being easily hurt, difficulty accepting when things don't go his way, a tendency to be self-centered with his feelings, and general irresponsibility, all despite him not meaning badly. An exasperated Emma even refers to him outright as a manchild in one of her vlogs.
* ManlyTears: He runs off to cry at the dock after Emma makes out with Nick in front of him. He doesn't hide it either when Emma shows up to confront him over his outburst. [[spoiler:As well, if he is successfully freed from the cage, the player will later see a cutscene of him crying while hiding in the woods]].

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jacob is beyond elated at finding a bag of Peanut Butter Butterpops, his all-time favorite snack food, not even caring for any expiration date, and he can even challenge Nick to a shooting competition when Nick sees and wants them too.
* TooDumbToLive: Though he's far from the only character to make dumb decisions, it's notable that he can actually get himself killed pretty early on through completely dumb decision making, and even if he lives, the events he goes through (and by extension, what everyone goes through) are entirely because he made the boneheaded decision to sabotage the van to buy an extra night with Emma.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: If [[spoiler:Chris (and determinately the rest of his family) die in chapter 9 and he forgives Laura and Ryan for killing him/them]], he sets out to kill [[spoiler:Silas]] to cure [[spoiler: Caleb, the last of his infected family members]]. Tragically, this can end up getting [[spoiler:Caleb]] killed if Kaitlyn locked him in the freezer in chapter 10 to survive the night, since he won't have [[spoiler:the werewolf infection to [[KillItWithIce protect him from the cold]]]].

** [[spoiler:If he kills Laura, Ryan can finish him off this way. If he doesn't, Travis will return the favor]].
** [[spoiler:Laura can also finish him off this way on two different occasions: Once if Ryan dies and Travis becomes hostile, and again if she hesitates to kill Silas and Travis says that he should've killed her when they first met]].
* CreepyGood: His overt creepy mannerisms are {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Laura when he helps her and Max out in the prologue, along with his insistence that they will ''not'' go to Hackett's quarry that night and will instead go to a nearby motel despite their plans, [[spoiler:but he's actually trying to help them avoid an encounter with Silas after they coincidentally crashed near his nest in the woods and followed Eliza's ghost to the burned-out ruins of the traveling show. Sadly, the scary circumstances and his reluctance to explain the danger to them lest he come off as crazy leads to the pair of them disregarding his advice out of the belief that the motel might be more dangerous to them than the quarry, leading to Max getting cursed]].

* DirtyCop: Laura claims he's one. While he's no saint, he's only trying to [[spoiler:save his family from a werewolf curse]], but has no other choice than breaking the law in order to reach that goal. If he [[spoiler: kills Laura, Ryan can angrily call him a "crooked ass cop piece of shit"]].
* TheDutifulSon: Travis has completely devoted the last several years of his life to his family, including [[spoiler:helping cover up murders, and imprisoning Laura and Max]]. He briefly compares his situation to his entire family jumping into a well, with him left holding them all up. His interactions with the rest of the Hackett family suggest he's TheUnfavorite in spite of all he does for them.
* DyingCurse: "I shoud've killed you the first time I saw you". If Laura [[spoiler:refuses to kill Silas and then shoots Travis after he tries to grab the gun]].

* ISurrenderSuckers: [[spoiler:On every occasion in which he's held at gunpoint by someone, he'll try to forcefully grab the gun from his attacker. Depending on your choices, this can end up ''badly'' for him]].

* {{Jerkass}}: He's not as immoral as the rest of his family, at least at first, but his abrasiveness towards Max and Laura makes him inherently unlikeable. He also refuses to apologize for [[spoiler:his underhanded actions, rationalizing them or blaming the rest of his family]]. Max and Laura even call him "detective Dick Whippet" due to his antagonistic demeanor.

* KillerCop: At his worst, Travis will undergo a SanitySlippage and brutally stab [[spoiler:Laura]] to death, and can possibly kill [[spoiler:Ryan]] as well.

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:He can get shot in the gut by Laura and left to bleed in his jail cell, but he'll still be able to fight off and even kill her werewolf form in chapter 9]].

** Silas can also pull his head off through the roof of the truck he is driving if Laura fails the QTE, and result in Ryan's death when it crashes.
* PlotArmor: He [[spoiler:can't be killed until very late in the game, during the Hackett residence fight. In fact, regardless of how many times you try to kill him during the chapter 7 flashback, the worst you can do to him is drug him or non-fatally shoot him]].

* TheStoic: As a cop, he always seems calm and collected, sometimes eerily so. Throughout the story, the player can have him lose his cool a few times, but he's easily the most composed character in the story.

* WhiteSheep: Played With - he is the second most moral family member behind Chris. The Hacketts in general are [[spoiler:trying to protect people from the fallout of several of their family members being werewolves.]] However, Travis goes the extra mile by [[spoiler:refusing to [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade kill people to keep their secrets]] despite Constance insisting it is necessary.]]

* YouAreInCommandNow: After the fire killed the previous Sheriff, Travis took over the position. It's implied to have killed the rest of North Kill's sheriff's department as well since six years later Travis is the only employee at the rundown station.
* YouLoseAtZeroTrust: Laura's choices will impact most possible outcomes involving Travis. If she remains on his good side, both can survive the night, however [[spoiler:shooting him during the escape segment can potentially doom her character, as Travis will stab her to death after she turns back into a human for shooting him and killing one or many members of his family]].

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:If Laura shoots her, her husband and children will be completely devastated, the former undergoing a VillainousBreakdown]].

* BoomHeadshot: A particularly gruesome one [[spoiler:if Laura kills her, as her entire face will be blown to smitheries]].

* DotingGrandparent: Towards her only granddaughter, Kaylee, whom she shares a close bond with. Considering Kaylee's mother died the year of her birth, Constance was the closest thing Kaylee had for a mother. Constance will be ''devasted'' when Travis informs her of [[spoiler:Kaylee's death]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing she does is tempt [[spoiler:werewolf Nick]] to take a nibble on her. When he lunges, the cage he's in electrocutes him, then she mocks him for being a "dumb fucking animal."
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She thinks the world of her granddaughter, Kaylee. [[spoiler:Which makes it all the more devastating to her once Travis breaks the news of her death. She's also horrified if Laura kills Jedediah, and orders Travis to kill her]].

* FacialHorror: If Laura wins a fight against Constance, [[spoiler:she'll blow so much of her face off that the tissue underneath is visible.]]

* NeutralFemale: Downplayed. While she can possibly wield a shotgun depending on player choices, Constance lets most of the dirty work to her husband and sons. If she's still alive during Laura and Jedediah's brawl, she doesn't help her husband and watches the scene.
* NeverMessWithGranny: When she learns [[spoiler:Laura]] killed her granddaughter, she fights her for the shotgun. If she wins, Constance will hold [[spoiler:Laura]] at gunpoint and can even ''shoot'' her [[spoiler:(however Laura will survive due to her werewolf infection)]].
* OffingTheAnnoyance: Constance can potentially kill Laura this way if she survives the gun struggle with her, and Laura chooses to distract without ever interrupting herself to spit in Constance's face. [[spoiler:Though Laura survives due to her infection.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Her son Chris can predecease her, and in fact it's necessary in order to keep casualties to a minimum. Also applies if her younger son Bobby is killed, though in that case she will only survive a few seconds longer]].
* RapidFireNo: Goes in a trance repeating "No!" when she understands that [[spoiler:Kaylee has been killed with silver]].
* RevengeBeforeReason: Constance is so furious about [[spoiler:Kaylee's death]] that she wrestles with Laura over a shotgun in order to avenge her granddaughter. Sure enough, it can lead to her [[YourHeadAsplode her head exploding]] if she loses the struggle.
* SoftSpokenSadist: In her introduction scene, when she taunts [[spoiler:werewolf!Nick]] in his cage. However this goes out the window the instant she reaches her VillainousBreakdown, where she mainly screams and curses.

* ViolentlyProtectiveWife: Implied. She isn't seen in action, but she screams bloody murder at Laura in the event where she [[spoiler:kills Jedediah]], and coldly states she "cannot wait to watch her die" (however Laura cuts the power before she can do anything to avenge her husband).
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: She told Travis to do this to [[spoiler:Laura and Max. And this was before she went off the deep end. During chapter 9, she also repeatedly calls him out for hesitating to shoot the former]].
* YourHeadAsplode: One of her potential deaths includes having her head blown off by [[spoiler:Laura with a shotgun]].

* TheGhost: Abigail and Ryan both know him and Chris comments that he's not around. After all, he's an adult doing his own thing. [[spoiler:That's a lie, Caleb is around. Just as a werewolf]].

* KillItWithIce: One of his possible fates results in [[spoiler:Kaitlyn locking him in the freezer, causing him to freeze to death when he reverts to human form, or if you choose not to shoot Silas, he would survive due to his regenerative healing, but [[AndIMustScream is still in the freezer and cannot die from freezing.]]]]

* BloodIsTheNewBlack: Spends a good chunk of the game with his face and clothes covered in blood. [[spoiler:It's revealed to be werewolf blood, as it covers human scent and protects whoever is covered in it from being tracked]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While his morality is debatable, he's a family man at heart and HappilyMarried to Constance. [[spoiler:When she is killed by Laura, he reaches his VillainousBreakdown]].

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:His son Chris can predecease him, and in fact it's necessary in order to keep casualties to a minimum. Also applies if his younger son Bobby is killed, though in that case he'll inevitably be killed several seconds later]].

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In the events where [[spoiler:Laura blows Constance's head off during their brawl with the shotgun]], Jedediah goes apeshit and swears to avenge her, at the potential cost of his own life.

* UnholyMatrimony: As amoral and violent he and Constance both are, they are shown to be HappilyMarried as he swears unholy vengeance on Laura if she [[spoiler:shoots Constance's face off]].
* VillainousBreakdown: After [[spoiler:Laura kills his wife]], he states "no more protecting anyone" and goes in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He's trying to help the councilors by fighting the werewolves but he's acting on the orders of his family, who rely on extreme methods of hunting.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:The only way for his parents to survive is if he's healthy enough to fight off his werewolf brother as they both escape]].

* TheDragon: [[spoiler:He's completely obedient to his family and will do whatever they tell him to. If Bobby isn't stabbed by Ryan, he will protect his family from a werewolf by wrestling it.]]
* DumbMuscle: He's built like a truck, but seems to suffer from age regression as a result of autism. In Chapter 10 [[spoiler:Kaitlyn can find a set of dog tags that belong to Bobby, which suggests his juvenile behavior may also be the result of injury or trauma.]]
* TheDutifulSon: He's the protector of his family and fights [[spoiler:werewolves]] with his father to protect everyone from the creatures. If unharmed by Ryan, Bobby will save his family by wrestling [[spoiler:werewolf Chris]].
* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Bobby is very loyal towards his parents, and can fight [[spoiler:a werewolf]] with his ''bare hands'' to protect them.

* HeroKiller: He stabs [[spoiler:Ryan with his hunter knife in chapter 9, which will guarantee his death unless he's infected later by Laura. Even if he does, Bobby can kill him after he heals regardless]].

-->'''Ryan:''' Yeah. Fuckin' hurts don't it!?

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:He can take a lot of punishment during the game as he can be shot, beat, and even stabbed without showing any great pain. However, if he does get stabbed by Ryan then he'll be killed by werewolf-Chris because he was still weakened by the wound and unable to use his full strength.]]

* PsychopathicManchild: He is heavily implied to be on the autism spectrum, which renders him juvenile in his mannerisms. Unfortunately, his parents are perfectly willing to have him perform acts of violence on whomever they deem a threat. He's perfectly willing to stab Ryan, but when Ryan stabs him back Bobby is shocked and surprised by the pain, not having realized that being stabbed ''hurts''. If Ryan doesn't stab him, he'll rip the knife out and claim Ryan "stole it" for running away with it still in his ribs.

* AbusiveParents: Of the verbal kind. She calls Travis a piece of shit when he informs her of [[spoiler:Kaylee's death]] and is trying to pressure him into [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade killing innocent people to keep their secrets covered up.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Depending on her dialogue choices, she can be a jerk to Jacob and Abigail as she kisses Nick during a game of truth or dare to make them both jealous (she knows Jacob still carries a torch for her and wanted to deter him and she knows of Abigail's crush on Nick). However, she is right to say that Abigail should just be honest with Nick rather than just dance around their feelings for one another. With Jacob, she is completely right to say that she doesn't want to date him and if Jacob really does care about her, then he should respect her decision.]]

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:If he is caught in a trap while running from werewolf Emma, the former will bite him in the stomach before slicing him in half]].

* NiceGirl: She's much more sweet than the other counsellors.

* InkSuitActor: She has a huge resemblance to her voice actor, Brenda Song.

* OnlySaneMan: He's the only one of the entire cast to not go near Hackett's Quarry. In the ending where all the evidence is collected, he's also the one who convinces Grace to turn over the evidence to the authorities, realizing it could help the accused teens.

* ZombieInfectee: After mistakenly thinking she shot [[spoiler:Chris and cured Max, she ventured into the island expecting him to be back to normal, only to get infected by his werewolf. However, she's one of the few characters who can never make it through the night while infected, as she'll either be killed by Travis or Ryan in self-defense, or she'll be killed ''after'' being cured]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Opening the trap door in the treehouse before changing into clothes (and being armed with weapons), as being in her underwear leaves Emma to her most vulnerable against a werewolf twice her size and weight]].
