8	[[folder: Nate]]
9	!!'''Nate'''
10
11	[[Characters/TheWalkingDeadVideoGame400DaysAndSeasonTwoCharacters Canon character]] from The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC. The story follows his transformation from an ordinary, if abrasive, trucker to the borderline psychopathic man we meet in game.
12	----
13	* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Casey and arguably Vaughan later on.
14	* CallingTheOldManOut: Averted. It's stated in Chapter 3 of the revamped version that his father was the one person he never stood up to.
15	* CreepyMonotone: Nate's voice takes on this tone whenever he blanks out.
16	* DarkAndTroubledPast: A flashback sequence in Chapter 4 provides glimpses into Nate's less-than-perfect childhood.
17	** AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Nate's father is a violent homophobe and his mother a neglectful alcoholic.]]
18	** ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:His brother committed suicide, and Nate appears to shoulder a certain amount of blame.]]
19	* DeclarationOfProtection: Other than surviving, keeping Vaughan and Charlie safe is one of Nate's main goals in the story. He also takes the baby under his wing in Chapter 2 and Sissy in Chapter 4.
20	* [[DepravedBisexual Depraved Pansexual]]: Subverted. While he's most certainly depraved, his relationships with Charlie and Vaughan are used to humanize him.
21	* DistressedDude: Nate ends up in this position a few times in the story, but usually ends up saving himself.
22	%%** BadassInDistress
23	%%* DontSaySuchStupidThings: To Vaughan in Chapter 5.
24	* DrowningMySorrows: This is Nate's go-to solution after a few days of dealing with the emotional pain of [[spoiler: losing the baby. According to a flashback, he seems to have this in common with his mother.]]
25	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Nate refuses to let Charlie kill a baby in Chapter 2.
26	* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: As shown at the start of Chapter 3, where he teases Vaughan by driving off without him.
27	* FailureKnight: His inability to protect [[spoiler: the baby and Casey]] is a driving point for his determination to keep Charlie, Vaughan, and Sissy safe.
28	* FriendToAllChildren: Despite thinking that children are gross and clearly not being used to surrounding himself with them, Nate ultimately tries to treat them right in his own way.
29	* GoForTheEye: Nate does this twice [[spoiler: to bandits in episode 3. He purposefully shoves an arrow into Duke's eye, and is the cause of another bandit being hit in the eye with an arrow shortly after when he uses the man as a shield.]]
30	* LoveMakesYouEvil: Nate's slow acceptance of his lack of empathy for people outside his group and his increased brutality is ultimately due to his love for the ones in his group and the people he's lost. [[spoiler: Losing Vaughan and Charlie]] [[DespairEventHorizon is what finally breaks him]] and turns him into the person we see in 400 days.
31	* {{Jerkass}}: What with his tendency to antagonize his friends, or even put them in danger for fun, he's certainly no angel.
32	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His unwavering loyalty to and protectiveness of Charlie and Vaughan (and earlier, Casey) act as redeeming traits.
33	* TheNicknamer: Calls Vaughan "Vee" and Charlie "Charles", among other things. Also, Sissy becomes "Baguette."
34	* PapaWolf: Subverted. Nate is quick to "adopt" the baby he finds in Chapter 2 but is woefully incompetent as a surrogate father; [[spoiler:he accidentally leaves her in a walker-infested hospital, resulting in her death]].
35	* SanitySlippage: Nate gets more and more brutal as the story goes on, and even worries that he's losing his mind.
36	** ReluctantPsycho: Nate realizes very quickly that there's something wrong with his mental health and it distresses him [[spoiler: at first.]]
37	* [[SirSwearsalot Sir Swears-A-Lot]]
38	* WouldHurtAChild / WouldntHurtAChild: Both are played with. It's clear that Nate would not purposefully hurt a child. However, due to his inability to be a responsible caregiver, [[spoiler: children end up in danger or even ''dying'' because of him.]]
39	[[/folder]]
40	----
41	[[folder: Charlie (Senkirin Wakahisa)]]
42	!!'''Charlie (Senkirin Wakahisa)'''
43
44	A pragmatic, somewhat aggressive woman, she nevertheless cares deeply for those in her circle of friends. Her attitude towards others, however, is less than favourable. Vaughan's current girlfriend.
45	----
46	* ActionGirl: Armed with her trusty butcher's knife, she makes short work of any zombies.
47	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Played straight with Nate [[spoiler: and Harvey]], averted with Vaughan.
48	* BrokenTears: [[spoiler: Is brought to tears in Chapter 5 after she thinks both Vaughan and Nate may die.]]
49	* BystanderSyndrome: If the situation doesn't directly affect her or people she likes, Charlie ''will not help you.''
50	%%* ChildHater
51	* CigaretteOfAnxiety: There seems to be hints of this for Charlie in the revamp.
52	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: In the original story, [[spoiler: aside from the time where she cries at the idea of losing Vaughan and Nate in chapter 5,]] she seems to be very unfazed by the horrors of the apocalypse. In the revamp there are some hints throughout the story that things might be getting to her, but even those are mild at best.
53	%%* ControlFreak
54	* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler: Charlie gets kidnapped twice. The first time [[DamselOutOfDistress she ends up saving herself]] before Nate and Vaughan come to rescue her. The second time Nate does end up saving her, but she later becomes the lead in the escort mission like part in the same chapter.]]
55	** BadassInDistress: Pretty much, her needing to be saved never detracts from her badassery.
56	* DeadpanSnarker: She never hesitates to put Nate in his place with a [[TeenyWeenie small dick joke]].
57	* DomesticAbuser: Though it's never fully explored, there are hints throughout the story that lean towards Charlie being this.
58	* GreenEyedMonster: Charlie is very possessive of both Nate and Vaughan, and will not stand for any possible threat to them or the group. Not to mention her reaction to Nate's lie in Chapter 1.
59	%%* GirlWithPsychoWeapon
60	* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to anger Charlie.
61	* HatesEveryoneEqually: If it weren't for Nate and Vaughan, she'd come across as a misanthrope.
62	* HoneyTrap: To [[spoiler: Harvey]] in Chapter 3.
63	* JerkassHasAPoint: Charlie brings up a lot of valid points despite being horribly rude most of the time.
64	* LadyLooksLikeADude: Jude even refers to her as "a dude with boobs."
65	** {{Bifauxnen}}: Seeing as other characters have mentioned that Charlie looks pretty, it's most likely that she can pass for a ''pretty boy'' instead of just a manly looking woman.
66	* [[SirSwearsalot Lady Swears-A-Lot]]
67	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Alongside Vaughan, for Nate.
68	* MeaningfulName: Her English name means "warrior."
69	* NaturalizedName: From Senkirin to Charlie.
70	%%* OneOfTheBoys
71	* TechnicolorEyes: In the original and tumblr revamped versions, Charlie has violet eyes. In the PDF and fanfiction.net revamped versions, this is averted with her eyes being brown.
72	%%* TomboyishName
73	* TookALevelInKindness: Downplayed. In Chapter 4, it becomes more obvious that she really does care for Nate and Vaughan, as opposed to just feeling possessive towards them.
74	* ToughLove: Towards Nate and Vaughan.
75	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: "You don't mess with my shit."
76	* WouldHurtAChild: Charlie has no qualms with the idea of killing or leaving the baby in order to [[NecessarilyEvil keep the rest of the group safe]].
77	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Type A variety.
78	* {{Ubermensch}}: The only socially accepted morals Charlie follows are the ones she deems right for her. Otherwise she has her own sense of right and wrong made up in her mind.
79	[[/folder]]
80	----
81	[[folder: Vaughan (Renkiyu)]]
82	!!'''Vaughan (Renkiyu)'''
83
84	A shy and quiet man, his strong sense of right and wrong makes him the most moral of the group. However, his Stage 3 brain tumour has unfortunate consequences. Charlie's current boyfriend.
85	----
86	%%* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: At least, he definitely is in the original version. [[UncertainDoom In the revamp however...]]
87	* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Though he doesn't speak like that anymore, it's been stated a few times in the revamp that his English wasn't very good when he was learning how to speak it.
88	* BabyTalk: Vaughan is the only one who does this when speaking to the baby.
89	* BreakTheCutie: The combination of cancer and a zombie apocalypse is bad enough [[spoiler:without having to deal with dying babies and lying doctors]].
90	* ConvulsiveSeizures: [[spoiler: It's not stated whether the seizure Vaughan had in chapter 4 was convulsive, but the one in chapter 5 was scarily so.]]
91	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Vaughan mentions caring for his terminally ill mother, who became angry and emotionally abusive towards him as her illness progressed.
92	* DeathByDespair: [[spoiler:It's implied that Vaughan allows himself to be overcome by the walkers attracted by Eddie's gunshot, due to his guilt over Charlie's death]].
93	* DespairSpeech: After he passes his {{Despair Event Horizon}} in Chapter 5.
94	* DistressedDude: Vaughan is in this position a lot.
95	* GuiltComplex: [[spoiler: By the end of chapter 5, it's revealed that he blames himself for every major negative thing that had happened to the group up to that point.]]
96	* TheHeart: Vaughan acts as the group's moral compass and is also the kindest of the three.
97	* HeroicBSOD: Has one after [[spoiler: Charlie dies in Chapter 5]].
98	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: When he's lucid, he maintains a policy of trying to avoid hurting others whenever possible. He even tries to convince Nate to spare Dan, despite the fact that, as far as he's aware, another bandit [[spoiler:is possibly raping Charlie at the time]]. [[PunishedForSympathy He does get called out on this.]]
99	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Alongside Charlie, for Nate.
100	* TheLoad: [[spoiler: Vaughan views himself to be this by the end.]]
101	* LoveMartyr: [[spoiler: Still loving both Nate and Charlie after everything they put him through definitely makes him come across as this.]]
102	* TheMillstone: [[spoiler: Sees himself as this by the end of the story.]]
103	* MoodSwinger: As his illness progresses.
104	* MoralityPet: Vaughan tries to be this to Nate.
105	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Vaughan has several of these moments, most notably when [[spoiler:he torments a bandit by threatening to stab him in the eye with an arrow.]]
106	* NaturalizedName: From Renkiyu to Vaughan.
107	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Usually changes in his demeanor are the results of a mood swing, [[spoiler:which can render him aggressive, frightening or outright violent]].
108	* ProneToTears: An interesting male version. Vaughan isn't overly sensitive, but due to how thick-skinned both Nate and Charlie are, he comes across as being one in comparison. His sensitivity to things does, however, increase over time due to the events of the story.
109	* PunishedForSympathy: Nate does not take kindly to Vaughan wanting to [[spoiler: let a bandit have supplies after they were attacked.]]
110	%%* SanitySlippage
111	* SlasherSmile: Vaughan often wears one during a mood swing.
112	%%* TheStraightAndArrowPath
113	* StupidGood: Vaughan is too nice in a world that's now dangerous for people like that.
114	* SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler:Particularly after the baby's death.]]
115	* TokenGoodTeammate
116	* TheTwink: Charlie calls him this in chapter 2.
117	* UncertainDoom: Thanks to the revamp, [[spoiler: Vaughan's fate is now unknown.]]
118	* WeakButSkilled: His skill as an archer makes up for the fact that he's [[TheTwink not at all physically imposing]].
119	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Frequently to Nate, most notably in Chapter 4.
120	* YourDaysAreNumbered: In Chapter 1, even before they are aware of the outbreak, Vaughan tells Nate that his chances are relatively slim.
121	--> "If I took chemo it would be difficult to get rid of, and my chances aren’t as positive, but it’s not impossible that I’ll live."
122	[[/folder]]
123	----
124	[[folder: Tam]]
125	!!'''Tam the baby'''
126	Discovered by the group in Chapter 2, she (?) is brought along with the group before [[spoiler:she meets an unfortunate end]].
127	----
128	* AmbiguousGender: Though the baby is referred to as female, we never actually find out if the baby is really a "she". Even the author giving the baby a name doesn't help, since "Tam" is a unisex name.
129	* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Averted. Not only does having the baby around cause tension between Charlie and Nate, [[spoiler: her death affects everyone for the rest of the series.]]
130	%%* ChildrenAreInnocent
131	* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: [[spoiler: Her parents' deaths allows Nate to care for her and leads to her eventual death.]]
132	* FearlessInfant: Tam seems pretty fearless, going with random strangers without a fuss. [[spoiler: And then she gets left behind at the hospital…]]
133	* NoNameGiven: The group doesn't know her real name, but instead refer to her as "baby" (or "the puppy" in Charlie's case). The author later confirmed on her blog that the baby's name was Tam.
134	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite having a very short run in the story, the emotional ripples caused by her presence spread throughout the rest of the subsequent chapters.
135	* TokenMiniMoe: An infant in a group of adults.
136	%%* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth
137	%%* UndeadChild
138	[[/folder]]
139	----
140	!!Bandits
141	[[folder: Duke]]
142	!!'''Duke'''
143
144	The leader of the bandits that Nate's group meet in chapter 3. A morally corrupt man that has no qualms about doing horrible things to people.
145	----
146	* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Gets killed by an arrow being forcibly jammed into his eye.]]
147	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Duke tells Vaughan and Nate than he and his men are going to [[spoiler: beat up and murder them, then rape Charlie when they get back to their new hideout.]]
148	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Uses racial slurs against both Charlie and Vaughan.
149	* SerialRapist: With the possible exception of Dan, he and his men have raped multiple people in the past.
150	* StarterVillain: [[spoiler: For Dr. Nāgá, though the two have no connection to each other.]]
151	* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Duke is pissed about the bandits that were directly or indirectly killed by Nate's group.
152	[[/folder]]
153	----
154	[[folder: Dan]]
155	!!'''Dan'''
156
157	A seemingly hesitant bandit.
158	----
159	* DirtyCoward: If he's telling the truth, it doesn't change the fact that he [[spoiler: stood back when the others were raping people, and helped steal and murder just so he could have some protection.]] At worst, he's lying to try and save his own skin.
160	* ManOnFire: [[spoiler: Gets set on fire in order to force Charlie's location out of him. While most of it is left to the reader's imagination, there is a [[BodyHorror brief description]] of Dan's "melted and sagged" skin.]]
161	* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Possibly.
162	* PunchClockVillain: Claims to be this.
163	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He admits to killing and stealing to survive, but says that he never raped anyone like [[SerialRapist the others.]]
164	* TragicVillain: If he is telling the truth about his reasons for joining the bandits.
165	[[/folder]]
166	----
167	[[folder: Harvey]]
168	!!'''Harvey'''
169
170	The bandit who wrote about the doctor camp and took [[spoiler: Charlie away after she gets knocked out by Duke.]]
171	----
172	* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: By Charlie.]]
173	* SerialRapist
174	[[/folder]]
175	----
176
177	!!Camp Survivors
178	[[folder: Dr Reva Naga]]
179	!!'''Dr Reva Nāgá'''
180
181	Head of the doctor camp. An outwardly reasonable and understanding woman, she is also oddly secretive, [[spoiler:with more than one good reason. She and her colleagues are conducting experiments to cure zombification.]]
182	----
183	* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Subverted. Dr. Nāgá has apotemnophobia, a fear of amputations, so she ties off her arm instead of removing it to prevent infection.]]
184	* BitchInSheepsClothing
185	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Despite losing a few doctors to the rescue mission in episode 5, Nāgá ends up getting anyway with what she's done ''and'' has more test subjects she can work on without interruption, assuming the survivors are unable to escape on their own.]]
186	* KnightTemplar: Downplayed. [[spoiler: She is aware that what she's doing is wrong. However, because she's doing it [[NecessarilyEvil for the greater good for mankind,]] she sees herself as less of a monster than people just trying to survive the apocalypse.]]
187	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's often the voice of reason during any scuffles, and even after [[spoiler:her secret is revealed]] she maintains a cool head.
188	* SophisticatedAsHell: When she swears.
189	* TheStoic: Downplayed. She shows enough emotion to not be completely stoic, but it still isn't very much.
190	* WellIntentionedExtremist
191	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: She had to be convinced not to bring Sissy along to be tested on.]] There is, however, something to be said about the fact that she agreed to leave [[spoiler: the little girl]] behind, especially since the doctor is so determined in her cause.
192	* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler: The only reason why she hasn't turned is because she tied her arm off.]]
193	[[/folder]]
194	----
195	[[folder: Dr Phanin]]
196	!!'''Dr Phanin'''
197
198	Another doctor at the camp. He gets into a fight with Donald for reasons seemingly out of his control.
199	----
200	* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Every time he doesn't something wrong, he ''always'' gets punished for it in one way or another. [[spoiler: Fight Donald, the guy who wants to protect the other patients? He gets his ass kicked by him and Nate. Refuses to say where the other survivors are in the clinic? His ear drum bursts and he almost gets his spine broken. Attempts to inject Vaughan with the zombie virus? Charlie beats the shit out of him.]]
201	* MusclesAreMeaningless: He's apparently skinny to the point where he almost looks anorexic, but is still able to hold his own during his fight with Donald.
202	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In chapter 5, [[spoiler: Charlie beats the crap out of him until there's blood on her hands, but we don't know if he dies or not and we never see him again after the trio escape the room.]]
203	[[/folder]]
204	----
205	[[folder: Donald]]
206	!!'''Donald'''
207
208	A seemingly irrational orderly, who tries to warn people away from Nāgá's camp, much to the patients' confusion.
209	----
210	* AngerBornOfWorry: We only ever see Donald angry, but that's partly due to his [[spoiler: concern for the well being of the survivors at the camp.]]
211	* NeckSnap: [[spoiler: Is a victim of this after he threatens the survivors with a gun.]]
212	** [[spoiler: In actuality, it's not that easy to kill someone by breaking their neck. Which is why Donald doesn't die right away after his neck breaks.]]
213	* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Donald is seen warning others to stay away from the camp, and with good reason, as it turns out.]]
214	* SheepInSheepsClothing: Believing Donald to be a problem, Nate [[spoiler: kills him at Nāgá's request]], but it is only after [[spoiler:Nāgá disappears with the patients]] that he was proven to be right.
215	[[/folder]]
216	----
217	[[folder: Cecilia "Sissy" Bonnet]]
218	!!'''Cecilia "Sissy" Bonnet'''
219
220	A five-year-old girl visiting from France with her family. In her naivety, she does her best to make everyone around her feel welcomed.
221	----
222	* AliceAllusion: The dress Sissy wears is referred to as an "Alice in Wonderland dress". Her wearing the dress alludes to Nate's confusion over whether she is real or not.
223	* CheerfulChild
224	* CreepyChild: When Nate first sees her, he wonders if she could be a hallucination [[spoiler:of the dead baby]], and is ill at ease for a while afterwards.
225	* TheCutie: Very much so, especially when she makes bouquets for everyone despite her flower allergy.
226	* ChildrenAreInnocent
227	** ThePollyanna: Despite the horrors she has seen and the fact that her mother is sick, she maintains an unfailing optimism and kindness.
228	* EmbarrassingFirstName: In the original, Nate thinks that "Sissy" is a terrible name (most likely due to the meaning of the word "sissy" in English). In the revamp, this becomes more of an embarrassing full name. "Sissy Boner", "Pissy Bonbon".
229	* FreeRangeChildren: Due to her mother being a patient at the camp, and having no one else to take care of her, Sissy can roam around on her own as she pleases. However, she has enough common sense not to be alone and decides that Nate would be a good babysitter for herself.
230	* KidSidekick: To Nate.
231	* LittleStowaway: [[spoiler: Sissy is purposefully kept in Nate's truck when the doctors leave camp.]]
232	* MoralityPet: She tries to be this to Nate.
233	* ShipperOnDeck: To Nate and Roxane. And Nate and Charlie. And Nate and Vaughan. "You two should kiss!"
234	* SpockSpeak: Downplayed in the revamp.
235	* TokenMiniMoe: She is the only child at the camp.
236	[[/folder]]
237	----
238	[[folder: Jude]]
239	!!'''Jude'''
240
241	A laid-back runner, Jude floats through life on the stash of weed he keeps in his fanny pack. He gets on well with most other residents/patients due to his easy-going nature.
242	----
243	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
244	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was on suicide watch in the past. It's the reason why he doesn't believe he'd be able to cope without being high all the time now that he's living in the apocalypse, because he was barely able to deal with life when things were normal.
245	** HiddenDepths: His past is what keeps him from being solely a comic relief character.
246	* TheFool: Mostly due to the fact that he's baked.
247	** KindheartedSimpleton
248	* FriendToAllChildren: He accepts Sissy's bouquet, even going so far as to damage his shirt in order to wear it, and offers to stay behind and babysit her at the end of Chapter 4.
249	* FunctionalAddict: Sort of. He is able to function like everyone else ultimately, but not with much clarity. Subverted slightly by his assertion that he needs his stash to be able to cope.
250	* NiceGuy: He gets on well with most everyone. He even [[TheKindnessOfStrangers offers Vaughan some of his weed]], thinking it will help ease his affliction, despite the fact that he feels he would succumb to the horrors of the apocalypse without it.
251	* PluckyComicRelief: A weird conversation in Chapter 4 and [[spoiler: a stint crawling around in air vents in Chapter 5]] mark him as such.
252	* TheStoner: Jude appears to exist in a permanently spaced-out state.
253	** StonersAreFunny
254	[[/folder]]
255	----
256	[[folder: Roxane]]
257	!!'''Roxane'''
258
259	A friendly young woman with striking hair. She puts up a nonchalant front, but is very worried about her sick sister and her MIA mother.
260	----
261	* JailbaitTaboo: Nate was planning on sleeping with her (and the feeling was mutual) until [[spoiler: he found out how old she really was.]]
262	* NiceGirl: Shown to be very friendly towards Sissy and Nate, and sympathetic of Vaughan's dire situation.
263	* SassyBlackWoman: Roxane has some shades of this, as shown by her flirtatious actions towards Nate, but it's strongly implied that this is a way of coping with her situation.
264	* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Nate mistakes her for an adult when she is in fact only sixteen.]]
265	[[/folder]]
266	----
267	[[folder: Raymond]]
268	!!'''Raymond'''
269
270	Roxane's protective father. He has a bit of a temper, but he can and does admit when he is wrong or has acted rashly.
271	----
272	* PapaWolf: Very protective of Roxane and her younger sister; understandable, really, since they've been separated from their mother.
273	* GentleGiant: Becomes this after making peace with Nate, until they get back to the camp and [[spoiler: find that everyone else is gone.]] Though in both cases, his anger is more than justified.
274	[[/folder]]
275	----
276	[[folder: Ritika]]
277	!!'''Ritika'''
278
279	Another doctor at the camp. Something of a dark horse in Chapter 4, her strong morals and wily courage make her a valuable ally in Chapter 5.
280	----
281	* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Averted. Nate almost kills her, Charlie punches her in the face, and they both threaten her]] when she tries to help them. Played straight with Vaughan, who seems not to hold what she did against her.
282	* HeelFaceTurn: Ritika goes from being on board with [[spoiler: Dr Nāgá's plans in Chapter 4 to attempting to help the main characters escape in Chapter 5.]]
283	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: She's only able to aid the trio so far until [[spoiler: she is killed by her co-workers.]]
284	* TookALevelInKindness: She's much nicer, or at least more restrained, in chapter 5 than she is in chapter 4.
285	* WouldntHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Not wanting Sissy to be apart of their experiments is what made her eventually decide to stop helping the other doctors.]]
286	[[/folder]]
287	----
288	!!Nate's family
289	[[folder: Casey]]
290	!!'''Casey'''
291
292	Nate's younger brother, who briefly appears in flashback sequences in Chapter 4 and throughout the revamped chapters.
293	----
294	* AscendedExtra: Downplayed. He's still a minor character in the revamp and only appears in flashbacks and dreams, but his role is bigger than it was in the original.
295	* BreakTheCutie: Casey [[spoiler:catches AIDS on an exchange trip to Japan and is forced to forego medical treatment to hide it from his father.]]
296	** DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Casey [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled chooses to shoot himself]] rather than wait for his father to discover the truth and kill him.]]
297	* OurGhostsAreDifferent: In the revamp [[spoiler: it appears as though Casey came back to Nate as a ghost, but it turns out Nate was actually sleeping.]]
298	* PosthumousCharacter
299	* SiblingYinYang
300	* {{Sidekick}}: To Nate, when they were both younger.
301	** RecklessSidekick: Averted. Casey is definitely the more sensible of the two.
302	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Casey only appears in a few scenes, and only ever in flashbacks, but the emotional impact of his death is explored, as well as serving to explain Nate's determination to find a cure for Vaughan.
303	[[/folder]]
304	----
305	[[folder: Nate's mom]]
306	!!'''Nate's mom'''
307
308	A woman who only shows up in flashbacks.
