* TheTeam: Played mostly straight, although it is a variation in that Ben primarily interacts with Addison.
** TheHero: Ben, who becomes the quantum leaper, to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.
** TheLancer: Addison, who directly assists Ben with his leaps in order to bring him home.
** TheHeart: Magic, who restarted the Project in order to retrieve Sam out of gratitude for saving his and his squadmates' lives in 1970. He is polite and honest, relies on all of the team's expertise while fending off any {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s, and gives advice whenever the situation warrants it.
** TheSmartGuy: Ian, the lead programmer, who works directly with Ziggy, manages the project's various {{Phlebotinum Breakdown}}s, and pieces together theories of where and when Ben may be leaping to.
** TheBigGuy: Jenn, the head of security, who helps the Project investigate the mysteries surrounding Ben's leap, Janis, and [[spoiler:"Leaper X."]]
** SixthRanger: [[spoiler:Janis, who begins working with the team in order to help Ben, and determines the identity of TheMole.]]

* BittersweetEnding: As a result of the series being cancelled, the show ends on this note, albeit more on the "sweet" side since [[spoiler: Ben doesn't make it home, similar to how his predecessor Sam never returned home either. On the other hand, Ben is able to change the future and turn a bitter enemy, Jeffrey, into an important ally to Project Quantum Leap after teaching him the value of helping others in the past and most importantly, Addison joins him as his co-leaper and the two are able to be together once more]].
