* TheTeam:
** Drama quickly takes up the position as TheLeader of the crew, leading the discussions and ultimately being the final say on everyone who gets ejected.
** White is TheLancer and TheLoner, going against the group and Drama's decisions more than anyone else and only being loyal to Pink.
** Purple acts as TheRival, going against or questioning a majority of the decisions Drama ultimately makes. He's also ThePilot of the crew, being in charge of stirring and controlling the ''Skeld''.
** Orange is the OnlySaneMan and the NumberTwo, acting as Drama's right-hand man during meetings and more often than not acting as the voice of reason to the more emotional or reactive crewmates.
** Yellow is TheHeart, being kind, gentle, and genuinely caring about her fellow crewmates, even those who end up getting ejected into space.
** Red is the primary {{Jerkass}} of the crew, being the most outwardly nasty during conversations and seemingly going out of his way to be as aggressive as possible.
** Pink is the most [[GirlyGirl girly]] of the female crewmates and being primarily defined by her relationship and loyalty to White.
** Brown is TheFool, primarily serving as momentary comic relief through his actions (his alibi being that he was, "in the bathroom", for instance), not having a full understanding of a situation, or just making the occasional joke.
** Black is TheBigGuy, physically being the strongest member of the crew who takes the initiative in stopping any sort of physical fighting during the meetings.
** Green is the SacrificialLamb, seemingly only existing to kick off the plot in the first place with his demise.

** Red is the TokenEvilTeammate of the crew, being the most outwardly nasty during conversations and seemingly going out of his way to be as aggressive as possible.
** Pink is TheChick, being the most girly of the female crewmates and being primarily defined by her relationship and loyalty to White.
** Brown is TheFool, primarily serving as momentary comic relief through his actions (his alibi being that he was, "in the bathroom", for instance), not having a full understanding of a situation, or just making the occasional joke.
** Black is TheBigGuy, physically being the strongest member of the crew who takes the initiative in stopping any sort of physical fighting during the meetings.
** Green is the SacrificialLamb, seemingly only existing to kick off the plot in the first place with his demise.

A fanfiction based on the video game, VideoGame/AmongUs, that focuses on the crew of the Skeld, a spaceship sailing through space for [[AmbiguousSituation unexplained reasons]]. All is well among them...Until [[TheHero Drama]] discovers the dead body of Green. From there, the crew desperately attempts to whittle out who among them is the one responsible for the crime, as the [[DwindlingParty body count slowly begins to rise]].
Written by Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn user, {{Dramana22}}, the story was released on September 22nd of 2020. A spin-off story called ''"Ejected"'', was released a mere two days later, which takes the focus off of Drama and places it on two other crewmates instead.
''"Among Us in Character"'' can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26592463 here]], while ''"Ejected"'' can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26635414 here]].
!Among Us in Character contains examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptedOut: Cyan and Lime have no representation in the story in spite of also being colors in the game.
* AirVentPassageway: It's theorized by the crewmates that the killer has been making use of the vents throughout the ship to commit murders. [[spoiler:This is never confirmed, as the one they blame for this turns out to be[[GoodAllAlong innocent]], while the killer never explicitly states if they did indeed use them.]]
* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler:The story ends moments before Drama and Purple engage in a DuelToTheDeath, with the audience being left guessing on who between them went on to survive.]]
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Drama is taken over by an alien parasite in the last few scenes of the story.]]
* AnyoneCanDie: Due to essentially being a murder mystery in space, it's made clear quickly that nobody is safe, [[spoiler:potentially not even Drama.]]
* AscendedExtra: Both [[spoiler:Red]] and [[spoiler:Pink]] act as the main characters of ''"Ejected"''.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After Black's death, Purple becomes more active in his attempts to catch the killer.]]
* AuthorAvatar: Drama. [[spoiler:Which only makes her SanitySlippage and subsequent FaceMonsterTurn all that more surprising.]]
* BadassNormal: Drama, who shows quite a bit of skill in her fight against [[spoiler:White]]. Only for it to be revealed later that she's [[spoiler:not quite human by the time that occurs...]]
* BigBadEnsemble: The imposter, a crewmate on the ship who is slowly killing off their friends for [[HiddenAgendaVillain unknown reasons]], and [[spoiler:the parasite, an alien lifeform the crew picked up on their travels who is capable of bending their host's body to their will.]]
** BigBad: [[spoiler:The imposter is ultimately revealed to be White, who planned to kill off everyone on board except for himself and [[MoralityPet Pink]].]]
** FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The parasite, who has its DNA injected into Drama, allowing it to warp her mind and body however it sees fit, and quickly gets to work killing the remaining crew.]]
* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: Black, [[OutOfFocus for what little we learn about him]], is implied to be among the strongest of the crewmates, keeping Purple from attacking Drama during the first meeting and acting as his bodyguard while doing tasks. [[spoiler:He's also the second victim of the killer.]]
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: While technically not ''first'', [[spoiler:Black is the first character to die in the story proper.]]
* BloodierAndGorier: Though not by much, the story is considerably more graphic than the game it's based on.
* CharacterDeath: Besides Green getting killed prior to the story, [[spoiler:Black is snuck up on and murdered while repairing the lights, Red is thrown out into space against his will, Brown is killed in the reactor, Pink takes credit for the murders and willingly ejects herself into space, Orange is stabbed by White to save Drama's life, White is practically butchered by Drama with a knife, and Yellow is choked to death by Drama when she is infected by a parasite.]]
* CharactersDroppingLikeFlies: By the end of the story, [[spoiler:every character is either dead or about to be killed.]]
* ClosedCircle: The entire story is entirely located on the Skeld spacecraft, with the only characters present being the crewmates working on it. There is also no way of contacting anyone from within the Skeld, meaning the cast is all on their own when it's revealed there's a killer among them.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:The killer is dealt with about 3-quarters into the story, allowing the parasite to come forth as the FinalBoss.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Five members of the crew are gruesomely murdered, two are unrightfully ejected into space, and the final survivors are stuck in a standoff that very easily could lead to both of their deaths as well. Basically the ''only'' good thing to come out of the story is that the killer is dead at least, but it's hard to say how good of a thing that truly is when everyone could potentially have died anyway.]]
* DuelToTheDeath: [[spoiler:First a fairly nasty one between Drama and White, and then one that occurs off-screen in the ending between Drama and Purple, with the latter never having a confirmed winner.]]
* DwindlingParty: Following the death of Green, the body count quickly begins to rise as the story goes on. [[spoiler:By the end of the story, the only characters who're still confirmed to be alive are Drama and Purple, and even then, it's made very clear that only one or [[KillEmAll neither]] will survive their encounter.]]
* EveryoneIsASuspect: The only confirmed innocent crewmate at the beginning of the story is Drama (as she's the POV character), and the rest of the story from there is the crew slowly confirming who could and couldn't have committed each of the murders.
* FaceMonsterTurn: [[spoiler:The final act of the story involves an alien parasite taking control of Drama, transforming her into its own personal puppet to kill the rest of the crew.]]
* FamousLastWords:
** "YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS. YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE. I DIDN'T DO IT. DON'T EJECT ME. LET ME GO!" [[spoiler:Red, as he's ejected out of the ship by the rest of the crew.]]
** "So, what do you plan to do with me now?" [[spoiler:Pink, as she (falsely) admits to be the killer and is ejected into space.]]
** "DRAMA! LOOK OUT!" [[spoiler:Orange, as he jumps in front of Drama and is stabbed by White.]]
** "Both of you say your last words now. I'll grant you at least that small bit of mercy, unlike what you've done to the last two people you voted out! Aha! AHAHAHA!" [[spoiler:White, just before Drama overpowers him and stabs him to death.]]
** "R-remains from an- an alien parasite! It's the gunk we found splattered on the windshields! I dunno!" [[spoiler:Yellow, as she's slowly strangled to death by Drama.]]
** "Then I guess it's up to whoever makes the first move." [[spoiler:Drama, right before her and Purple's DuelToTheDeath.]]
** "Alright...Whoever makes the first move..." [[spoiler:Purple, right before his and Drama's DuelToTheDeath.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: Likely the fate of anyone who gets ejected from the Skeld.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Purple is pretty swiftly identified as this, with nobody seemingly respecting him beyond his skill as a pilot, and everyone being so quick to turn on him in spite of very little evidence being presented early on. The only crewmates implied to not mind his presence are Black and Orange, and even then, his relationship with either is never expanded upon.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The imposter ([[spoiler:White]]) never has their motives revealed for the murders they commit.
* GoryDiscretionShot: For the first half of the story, none of the murders are shown happening on-screen, and whenever someone is ejected, they've got some time before they run out of air. [[spoiler:This ''all'' goes out the window the second White is confirmed as the killer.]]
* AHouseDivided: A result of a killer being onboard; everybody has a hard time trusting each other, and the few that ''do'' trust each other continuously have said trust tested at every possible opportunity, making actually finding the killer far more difficult than it needs to be.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:It's ultimately revealed at the end of the story Purple had set the Skeld on a crash course to the nearest planet, which would likely [[KillEmAll kill everyone on impact]], due to being unwilling to allow the killer, and later on, the parasite, to return to Earth and potentially cause even more deaths. As he's the only one capable of disabling such a thing, it's made fairly clear either only [[SoleSurvivor he survives]], or everyone dies for the rest of mankind's sake.]]
* HystericalWoman: Pink, who spends a majority of her screentime panicking, crying, and leaning on White for emotional support.
* {{Jerkass}}: Purple, Red, and White all show themselves to be the biggest jerks of the crew, coming across as uncompromising and mean-spirited in the crew's attempts to find the imposter.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:After unintentionally causing Black's death, Purple puts his grudge against Drama aside, starts more actively working with the others to try and catch the killer, and even ultimately saves Drama's life in the end. This is taken UpToEleven during the ending, where he's even willing to sacrifice himself if it means ensuring no further deaths.]]
** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler:White is ultimately revealed to be the killer, and he has little to no sympathy for any of the murders he committed.]]
* LetsSplitUpGang: An explained example; the ship has to constantly be maintained in order to keep running, thus meaning for maximum efficiency that everybody should fan out across the ship to get their tasks done as quickly as possible.
* MinimalistCast: The entire story focuses on the ten-member crew of the Skeld. The only other character in the entire story is [[spoiler:an alien parasite, and even then, it's only revealed to exist long after taking control of Drama]].
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: The true reality of the ejections; in order to ensure the safety of the rest of the crew, everyone agrees that if the imposter is found that they'd be ejected into space. [[spoiler:Ultimately, both crewmates who get ejected are proven innocent.]]
* NoEnding: The story ends just before [[spoiler:Drama and Purple fight to the death]], with no clear answer of what happens after that.
* OnlySaneMan: Orange, who manages to be the only member of the crew to keep a clear head throughout the story.
* PoorCommunicationKills: The presence of a killer immediately causes distrust between the crew, leading to several of them keeping details from the others, outright lying about what happened, barely defending even those they ''know'' couldn't have done anything, and constantly accusing each other. This leads to the potential deaths of [[spoiler:Red and Pink, who are ejected into space after the crew becomes convinced they're the killers]].
* PosthumousCharacter: Green, who dies mere moments before the story begins.
* ProperlyParanoid: Considering the circumstances of the story, it's hard to really blame any of the cast for what ends up happening.
* TheProtagonist: Drama, who spends the entire story desperately trying to catch the killer.
** VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:After being infected by the parasite, she then turns into the story's FinalBoss, while retaining being the story's primary character.]]
* PyrrhicVictory: Sure, [[spoiler:they catch and kill the killer, but the only survivors of the whole experience were Drama, Purple, and Yellow. And only moments later, Drama is revealed to be infected with an alien parasite anyways, effectively rendering the victory all but moot.]]
* TheQuietOne: Both Yellow and Black are fairly silent during meetings, only speaking up when they have something to say, or in the latter's case, not even then.
* RewatchBonus: Rereading the story with the knowledge of [[spoiler:White being the killer, Pink being an unwilling accomplice, and Drama being infected with an alien parasite]] can lead to quite the entertaining experience in it's own right.
* TheRival: Drama and Purple seem to have known each other the longest prior to the story, and not only can't stand each other, but actively attempt to undermine and insult one another whenever they have the chance. In Drama's case, it's implied to be because Purple scored higher than her during the piloting trials. In Purple's, [[{{Jerkass}} he just finds her annoying]].
** FireForgedFriends: As the story goes on, the two slowly come to mutually respect each other to some degree as they try to discover the killer. [[spoiler:Even after Drama has been twisted into wanting to kill him by a parasite, the two's final conversation is one that feels very cordial and heartbreaking, as it's made quickly clear that neither of them wants to hurt the other one.]]
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Pink's ejection quickly causes Drama to lose herself in her attempts to try and catch the killer, going so far as to lose sleep and worry the rest of the surviving crew.]]
* SlasherMovie: In space! And it's [[{{Inverted}} not a movie]], but the same general tropes apply.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Both Green and [[spoiler:Black]] are the first to die in the story, and yet the former singlehandedly sets off the entire plot with their demise (and is later revealed to be the [[spoiler:only reason Drama wasn't the first victim instead]], while the latter acts as [[spoiler:Purple's motivation to start working with the crew more actively, due to personally blaming himself for his death.]]
* SpaceIsolationHorror: It's determined by the crew that the only way to be safe if they discover who the imposter is, is to eject them out into space, [[FateWorseThanDeath where they'd likely drift endlessly for the rest of their lives]]. [[spoiler:This is ultimately the fate that befalls Red and Pink.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:By the end of the story only either [[FaceMonsterTurn Drama]] or [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Purple]] survives the events of the Skeld, unless one subscribes to the theory that after the encounter [[KillEmAll both of them die]].]]
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:Orange is killed instantly upon being stabbed in the heart by White.]]
* TenLittleMurderVictims: More like "Ten Little Crewmates", but the point still stands; there's ten characters, and one of them is a murderer killing them off one by one.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:After killing White, Drama makes ''sure'' he's dead with a few more stabs for good measure.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: Black and Purple are implied to have been this prior to the story, with the former even seeming to be Purple's OnlyFriend.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: [[spoiler:How both Red and Pink exit the story, getting ejected by their crewmates when they're found to be suspicious and admit to false crimes respectively.]]
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Drama and Pink are the only girls onboard the Skeld.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:''"Ejection"'' confirms both Red and Pink didn't die instantly upon being ThrownOutTheAirlock, only while the former quickly accepts her death, the former holds onto hope that he'll eventually be rescued. Neither of their fates is confirmed afterward.]]
* VasquezAlwaysDies: {{Downplayed}}; [[spoiler:Drama, the more outwardly tomboyish between the two girls, is one of the only two alive by the ending, though considering her infection by the parasite and Purple guaranteeing she won't get off the ship alive, it still ultimately applies.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Green, who is never introduced properly and spends the entire story already having died. [[spoiler:The same could be said about Black, who ultimately dies fairly early on as well without too much characterization.]]

[[spoiler:Even after Drama has been twisted into wanting to kill him by a parasite, the two's final conversation is one that feels very cordial and heartbreaking, as it's made quickly clear that neither of them wants to hurt the other one.]]
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Pink's ejection quickly causes Drama to lose herself in her attempts to try and catch the killer, going so far as to lose sleep and worry the rest of the surviving crew.]]
* SlasherMovie: In space! And it's [[{{Inverted}} not a movie]], but the same general tropes apply.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Both Green and [[spoiler:Black]] are the first to die in the story, and yet the former singlehandedly sets off the entire plot with their demise (and is later revealed to be the [[spoiler:only reason Drama wasn't the first victim instead]], while the latter acts as [[spoiler:Purple's motivation to start working with the crew more actively, due to personally blaming himself for his death.]]
* SpaceIsolationHorror: It's determined by the crew that the only way to be safe if they discover who the imposter is, is to eject them out into space, [[FateWorseThanDeath where they'd likely drift endlessly for the rest of their lives]]. [[spoiler:This is ultimately the fate that befalls Red and Pink.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:By the end of the story only either [[FaceMonsterTurn Drama]] or [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Purple]] survives the events of the Skeld, unless one subscribes to the theory that after the encounter [[KillEmAll both of them die]].]]
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:Orange is killed instantly upon being stabbed in the heart by White.]]
* TenLittleMurderVictims: More like "Ten Little Crewmates", but the point still stands; there's ten characters, and one of them is a murderer killing them off one by one.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:After killing White, Drama makes ''sure'' he's dead with a few more stabs for good measure.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: Black and Purple are implied to have been this prior to the story, with the former even seeming to be Purple's OnlyFriend.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: [[spoiler:How both Red and Pink exit the story, getting ejected by their crewmates when they're found to be suspicious and admit to false crimes respectively.]]
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Drama and Pink are the only girls onboard the Skeld.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:''"Ejection"'' confirms both Red and Pink didn't die instantly upon being ThrownOutTheAirlock, only while the former quickly accepts her death, the former holds onto hope that he'll eventually be rescued. Neither of their fates is confirmed afterward.]]
* VasquezAlwaysDies: {{Downplayed}}; [[spoiler:Drama, the more outwardly tomboyish between the two girls, is one of the only two alive by the ending, though considering her infection by the parasite and Purple guaranteeing she won't get off the ship alive, it still ultimately applies.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Green, who is never introduced properly and spends the entire story already having died. [[spoiler:The same could be said about Black, who ultimately dies fairly early on as well without too much characterization.]]
