10 [[caption-width-right:300:The Counselors a.k.a. "The Victims".[[note]]Left to right: Adam Palomino, Deborah Kim, Jenny Myers, Tiffany Cox, Brandon "Buggzy" Wilson, Kenny Riedell, Eric "J.R." [=LaChappa=], Vanessa Jones, A.J. Mason and Chad Kensington.[[/note]]]]
11* ActionGirl: The women have all the same moves as the men in combat. Although they tend to have lower Strength scores, their other stats can make up the difference in combat situations. It should also be noted that while the axe and bat are the slowest, the girls can swing their weapons ''faster'' than the boys. Equip them with an epic or legendary "Swift Attacker" Perk and their odds of stunning Jason are much greater.
12* AintTooProudToBeg: When the counselors are close to death, they scream for help when nearby someone else or attempt to plead with Jason if alone.
13* AnyoneCanDie: They're up against ImplacableMan Jason Voorhees, so this is a given.
14* AssKickingPose: Averted. When entering combat stance, they aren't in an expected badass pose, but are undeniably ready.
15* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: Because Jason is a MightyGlacier, that cannot be [[YouWillNotEvadeMe escaped for long]], is [[InvincibleVillain effectively invincible]] for the round's beginning and any weapons Counselors aquire are breakable, they're all expected to adopt HitAndRunTactics to survive.
16* BadassBystander: They were just normal people living an average life until it was suddenly ripped away. It caused them to toughen up.
17* BlockingStopsAllDamage: Averted. You take slightly more than half damage, but it still looks just as painful.
18* BreakableWeapons: In contrast to Jason's single [[UnbreakableWeapons weapon of choice]], the Counselors can equip various melee weapons ([[ItOnlyWorksOnce and guns]]) found throughout the map to fight off the brute, but they're liable to break when used repeatedly; especially if the character you're playing has a [[BornUnlucky poor Luck]].
19* CombatMedic: All can heal their comrades providing they have a first-aid spray equipped; but counselors prioritize on [[SelfishGood healing themselves before others]], which becomes UnwantedAssistance if you accidentally heal your minor cuts, while your buddy is critically injured.
20* ControllableHelplessness: Sustain critical injury and your character will start to scream in distress [[HoldingYourShoulderMeansInjury while limping along]]. You are ''screwed'' if you're alone and Jason's [[YouAreAlreadyDead hot on your heels]] when this happens. Even if he decides to go for a grab-kill, and you're carrying a [[GetOutOfJailFreeCard pocket knife]]. Stamina or no stamina, you cannot walk or run away from the killer.
21* CopCriminalFamily: The "My Dad's A Cop" equippable perk implies one of them has a father in the New Jersey police force. If they're the one using the phone, the cops, instead of [[YouHaveToBelieveMe taking five minutes]], will arrive ''much faster''.
22* CowardlyLion: Depending on how you play. There's nothing stopping a counselor who's been hiding or running from Jason the entire match from [[BigDamnHeroes smacking him in the back of the head with a baseball bat when he's got one of their friends in a chokehold.]] It can go up to eleven for drivers [[GoodSamaritan if they deliberately stick around to pick up passengers]] despite being able to escape on their own (along with the fact that starting the car paints a massive target on your back as soon as Jason hears it).
23* DirectionlessDriver: They can't be in driver's seat and look at the large map, at the same time. Any counselor who decides to get behind the wheel better either have a good sense of direction when offroading, or assistance from the passengers.
24* DoorDumb: Barricading doors is your first ([[LimitedLoadout and sometimes last]]) line of defense against a prowling Jason outside. Leaving them open and unlocked, is an open invitation to get your friends and you killed. Counselor players shouldn't be messing with locking down doors either when Jason's [[UnstoppableRage in Rage]], because he will smash through [[ThereWasADoor doors]] and [[BreachingTheWall walls]] in one hit regardless.
25* DwindlingParty: If the Jason player is too strong, or you and your friends are too disorganized, expect this to happen. Your options become severely limited, as killing Jason is off the table. You may have to go from trying to escape to running out the clock by hiding, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm or giving up]].
26* EarlyGameHell: Unless you've equipped them with certain perks, you start the match off virtually naked, and it's a mad dash to the nearest cabin to try and rummage for items that [[RummageFail may not be there]]. And if the game spawns you in the cabin ''[[RandomNumberGod with the phone]]?'' A competent Jason player will waste no time coming straight for you, and you maybe [[YouAreAlreadyDead powerless to fight or escape]].
27* {{Expy}}: A lot of the counselors are inspired by characters from the movies. For example:
28** Jenny [[FinalGirl the Girl Next Door]] is Chris from ''Part 3''.
29** Deborah [[CuteBookworm the Bookish Girl]] is Maddy from ''Part 7''. She also has elements of Eva from ''Part 8''.
30** Brandon [[LovableJock the Jock]] is Julius from ''Part 8''.
31** Chad [[AlphaBitch the Preppy Guy]] seems to be a [[CompositeCharacter fusion]] of Russell from ''Part 7'' and Trent from the 2009 reboot.
32** Tiffany the [[MsFanservice Flirty Girl]] is Tina & Terri from ''Part 4''.
33** A.J. the [[PerkyGoth Rocker Chick]] is Violet from ''Part 5'' and J.J. from ''Part 8''.
34** Eric the [[LovableNerd Nerd]] is Shelly from ''Part 3'' and Jimmy from ''Part 4''. Played with, as Shelly is now a character in the game.
35** Kenny the [[TheGenericGuy Head Counselor]] is Bill from ''Part 1'' with some elements of Paul from Part 2.
36** Mitch the [[TheStoner Stoner]] is Chuck from ''Part 3''.
37** Victoria the [[AlphaBitch Catty Girl]] is Melissa from ''Part 7''.
38* FlatCharacter: While they have individuality in their dialogue, for the most part they are flat. Averted with the Single Player Challenge Mode where the characters develop quite a bit more personality.
39* FaceYourFears: For whatever reason, eventually the player turns to fight Jason.
40* FragileSpeedster: Compared to Jason's MightyGlacier status. In a straight chase, a sprinting counselor will easily outpace even Part 2, 3, or 4 Jasons (the only three Jasons that can run). However, counselors get tired after running for too long. [[ImplacableMan Jason doesn't.]] If you don't lose him before then, he WILL catch up, [[InstantDeathRadius and once he's in melee range, you're almost always screwed.]]
41* GenderRestrictedAbility: Only female counselors can wear the sweater to stun Jason.
42* ImNotAfraidOfYou: The counselors manage to temporarily push away their mounting panic and confront Jason. Most of them say this to a varying degree.
43* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Not so much for the fact that their appearance is outstanding, but because they're nearly indestructible, as they never rip or tear. The blood that covers the clothing even disappears when you heal yourself.
44* KarmicTrickster: All are expected to adopt this approach if they want to survive Jason. [[HitAndRunTactics Kiting and juking]] the killer whenever and wherever possible. They've got to put [[InstantDeathRadius as much distance between]] them and the killer as possible. Jason's vulnerable to being stunned after opening doors, holding a counselor by the neck or missing a grab-kill. Of course, they'll have to mix their routines up [[NeverRecycleYourSchemes or it can backfire]].
45* LimitedWardrobe: While you can customize the color and designs of the outfits, they all maintain the same appearance or have roughly the same base.
46* TheLoad: As VideoGameCaringPotential is in play, it's not mandatory for another counselor player to help the gang survive. It's not uncommon to see someone goof off, stand around, and contribute nothing to the match. If this player starts injuring themselves and/or attracting Jason's attention, ''[[LethallyStupid ditch them and run]]''.
47* NervousWreck: Having witnessed one of your friends get murdered in a gruesome fashion by Jason and he's now [[OhCrap after you]], you'd probably be 'on edge' too, but all of them can't stand being alone or in darkness even [[NothingIsScarier when nothing's happening]]. It crosses over into IdiotBall territory where they'll freak out at the sight of a dead body, ''when Jason's chasing them.''
48* NoHelpIsComing: If they don't (or can't) call Tommy and/or the Police, they're on their own and need to use every trick in the book to survive.
49* PictureDay: Implied and Reconstructed. The concept art for the counselors all take place in the same setting and background, with each character posing. The overall vibe is just like a picture day. The counselors also don't seem worried or upset about their appearance, as the trope usually says the characters are.
50* PoorCommunicationKills:
51** They're perfectly fine until they pick up the phone or start using the CB Radio, then they speak in frantic, high-strung voices. This applies to gameplay, too. Counselor teams that can quickly and coherently relay part locations and objective progress via walkie-talkies and offer recon on which areas are Jason-free at the moment tend to have much better odds of escaping.
52** If they forget to radio Tommy Jarvis for help straight-away, he'll show up to confront Jason late into the night when there's [[TheCavalryArrivesLate not much that can be done]] to save the remaining survivors.
53* RummageFail: As a counselor player unless you've equipped certain Perks you start off with nothing. To survive it's a mad scramble to the nearest cabin to rummage through the drawers to find items or weapons. If the cabin yields nothing but [[RandomNumberGod several walkie talkies and maps you already possess]], you must flee to the next cabin. The longer you idle in one location the more likely Jason will eventually find you.
54* SanityMeter: They ''all'' hate [[PrimalFear the darkness]] and being [[GoMadFromTheIsolation separated from each other]]. Counselors with a high composure (and fear resistance Perk) will take the longest to succumb. Eventually though, all of them give into their urge to panic. When they do, it can be a death sentence for the player as [[InterfaceScrew it screws the screen and mini-map up]] (unless you've equipped 'Preparedness'). Jason can easily find, ''[[YouCanRunButYouCantHide and keep on finding]]'' a counselor wracked with fear. You will also incur stamina penalties for being afraid, until eventually you move so slow [[ControllableHelplessness won't be able to get away]].
55* SprintMeter: They all have stamina meters and some are more athletic than others. The counselors need to be ''careful'' though, as tempting as it is to run to an objective, all of them ([[GoodBadBugs except for A.J.]]) running attracts Jason's attention. Depleting the meter forces the player [[NecessaryDrawback to rest or walk]]. They incur stamina penalties when frightened, and if that meter's emptied too often, the character is exhausted to where the meter will refill slowly. When TiredOfRunning if they successfully knockdown Jason or break free of his grasp they'll get a small [[HeroicSecondWind stamina boost]].
56* StealthExpert: Counselors with a high Stealth stat will naturally be this, and considering it's a lot harder to lose Jason [[SuperPersistentPredator when he's actively chasing you]] than it is to simply not get found by him in the first place, you'd do well to be one regardless of who you're playing.
57* SuperWindowJump: The counselors can escape Jason by leaping through a window. However, doing so rather than just opening the window and climbing out or jumping through an open or broken window should be reserved for a last resort, as you can get hurt doing so.
58* SurroundedByIdiots: Every counselor player needs to work together as a team. No one is strong enough to survive alone [[TheJuggernaut against Jason]] for very long. If the lobby are [[LeeroyJenkins recklessly facing down the killer]], or running off with key items away from their objectives - [[EverybodyDies you're boned]].
59* SurroundedBySmartPeople: If the lobby's all experienced and groups up together quickly at the match's beginning, they can easily overpower Jason, sometimes leading to a EverybodyLives ending.
60* TeamKiller:
61** In spite of infighting which forced the developers to [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings remove team killings]], there's nothing to stop a counselor hijacking a car to run everyone else over. Though the game [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment penalizes any griefer]] who takes this course of action, the car doesn't [[UnderusedGameMechanic breakdown permanently]] if they kill two or more teammates. If you notice your friends disappearing off the scoreboard [[DwindlingParty one after another as "Betrayed"]], then '''stay indoors'''.
62** This was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen meant to be]] the entire premise behind [[SocialDeductionGame 'Paranoia']] a gamemode where one of the counselors was actually a [[JackTheRipoff copycat Jason killer]].
63* TrapMaster: Every single one of them, regardless of skill, is easily able to pick up and set down bear traps. Unlike Jason, a Counselor may place them anywhere. The downside to this is, it doesn't show up on the map. You or a friend could absentmindedly step into [[HoistByHisOwnPetard and get ensnared by]] what was intended for Jason.

73The Edgy Guy. He is one of A.J.'s boyfriends but has also dated Tiffany.
74----
75!!Stats:
76* Composure: 7/10
77* Luck: 2/10
78* Repair: 6/10

83
84!!Unlock Level: 14
85----
86* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is black in the concept art, but is a light brown in the game.
87* BornUnlucky: Has very poor LuckStat, so weapons are liable to break when he needs them most, and extreme caution should be used when trying to start (or restart) the car or boat playing as Adam.
88* GeniusBruiser: A slight example, as he is said to be a wiz when it comes to fixing vehicles and is also considerably stronger than most counselors. Though his Repair stat is not as great as the likes of Deborah and Eric, he is still reasonably better at repairs than most other counselors.
89* HellBentForLeather: He wears a black leather jacket.
90* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Can be stabbed when having sex with AJ and Tiffany (separately).
91* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Can be seen on his concept art. Subverted in the actual game, as his hair is shorter.
92* MightyGlacier[=/=]GlassCannon: Is one of the stronger counselors of the game and is not as easily frightened by the sight of Jason, but has average Speed and below average Stamina.
93* NervesOfSteel: Has one of the highest Composure stats in the game, ranking second to best place with A.J. Mason.
94* OutWithABang: Can die during the middle of sex ''twice.''
95* UnrequitedLove: On the official website for F13 game, his reveal picture's tagline shows that Adam is in love with A.J. Whether or not she returns his affection is unknown. [[spoiler: They are shown together in the opening cutscene for Packanack Small and the Spring Break '84 DLC trailer, so it appears the feelings are mutual.]]
96** Subverted as A.J. is revealed to be involved with multiple people in the Single Player Challenge. She may be seeing Adam but they're not exclusive or break up.
97** Seems to be a break up as Adam ends up with Tiffany at one point.

101[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aj_mason.png]]
102-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MarishaRay
103
104The Rocker Chick. She's a tough as nails rocker, who doesn't take shit from anyone. Her high Composure stat makes her perfect for maintaining her cool when Jason shows up and starts murdering counselors. She's able to slink around, hiding to survive, with a high Stealth stat as well.
105----
106!!Stats:
107* Composure: 7/10
108* Luck: 1/10
109* Repair: 7/10
110* Speed: 4/10
111* Stamina: 4/10
112* Stealth: 10/10
113* Strength: 2/10
114
115!!Unlock Level: 4
116----
117* AmbiguouslyChristian: She never mentions being religious, but upon inspection she is wearing a cross and doesn't say "Oh God" as much as the other characters.
118* BornUnlucky: Has the lowest Luck stat out of all counselors, which means that the chances of A.J.'s weapon breaking is much higher than usual, making direct combat with Jason a big risk. Due to her low Strength it's far safer to use firecrackers, flareguns or the rifle anyway.
119* DyeHard: InUniverse. She has purple streaks dyed into her hair.
120* DudeMagnet: A.J. essentially has her own male {{Harem}}, involved at various points with Mitch, Kenny, Adam, and Chad according to Challenge Mode.
121* EthicalSlut: While NegativeContinuity may apply, in the Challenge Mode she's involved with much of the main cast at various points including Mitch, Kenny, Adam, and Chad.
122* FunTShirt: In the final game, A.J. wears a black sleeveless shirt with the words "Crazy Lixx" written on it. See ShoutOut.
123* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Can die horribly at Jason's hands during sex in an homage to the second Friday movie.
124* {{Irony}}: For someone who appears to be a tough-as-nails rocker girl, A.J. has a very low Strength statistic, which is also emphasized with her terrible Luck Statistic. Combat is definitely not her forte.
125** Hilariously enough, in spite of having the worst luck out of all Counselors, A.J. found herself in a relationship with a few Counselors herself.
126* IWorkAlone: Her high Composure and Repair, and excellent Stealth stats allows A.J. to work on escape objectives on her own if the player is feeling confident while Jason is preoccupied with other Counselors. If she is found by Jason when alone, however, she's good as dead unless she finds help from other counselors quickly or arm herself with a weapon.
127* OutWithABang: Can be ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice during sex with Adam during the 5th Challenge.
128* PerkyGoth: More like a Perky Punk given her pleasant attitude from all interactions so far.
129* ReallyGetsAround: The amount of boyfriends she has is pretty much a RunningGag at this point.
130* RiotGrrrl: Based on the one from Part 5.
131* StealthExpert: Has maxed out Stealth stats, making it her main gameplay plan to hide from Jason at all times. [[GoodBadBugs Due to a bug]], A.J. is also the only maximum Stealth Counselor that can ''sprint silently'' if she is equipped with at least a 10% positive Lightfoot perk, as Tiffany and Tommy are unable to do so in spite of also having a 10/10 in Stealth.
132* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Being a punk rocker, she's definitely a tomboy, but she's also the only female counselor to wear a skirt, jewelry, and wears considerably more makeup than the other girls.
133* WeakButSkilled: A.J has low Speed, Stamina and Strength, but has the third highest Repair stat out of all playable characters so far, making her highly competent for fixing things. She also boasts the highest Stealth (along with Tiffany Cox), which is complemented by her high Composure, making it a nightmare for Jason to detect her if A.J. spends the entire campaign hiding from him, especially if she is equipped with Sense avoidance and Lightfoot perks.

135
136[[folder:Brandon "Buggzy" Wilson]]
137[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brandon_3.png]]
138-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ZenoRobinson
139
140The Jock. Buggzy was designed around the common 80's movie stereotype that black males were physically strong but not as smart.
141----
142!!Stats:
143* Composure: 4/10
144* Luck: 2/10
145* Repair: 1/10
146* Speed: 8/10
147* Stamina: 8/10
148* Stealth: 2/10
149* Strength: 10/10
150
151!!Unlock Level: 8
152----
153* BadassNormal: Used correctly and given the right Perks such as 'Thick-skinned' and 'Sucker Punch', he can give Jason the runaround as much as Vanessa.
154* BlackDudeDiesFirst: It depends entirely on the player, but Buggzy was certainly designed with this in mind. His high strength, speed and stamina makes his players feel compelled to take on Jason, but his abysmal luck makes any weapon he holds compelled to break.
155* BlatantLies: How he got confined to a wheelchair changes with every replay of Part 5's Challenge Mode. Trampoline accident, surfing, and heroic badassery are all cited. Given his ObfuscatingDisability, it's very probable he isn't even disabled but has something minor like a sprained ankle.
156* BornUnlucky: One strategy to never forget when playing as Buggzy is to ''always change your weapon''. Because of his awful LuckStat after about three hits that connect any melee weapon he's using on Jason is liable to break. And if the car's broken down and Jason's prowling nearby? ''[[DraggedByTheCollar You can forget it]]''.
157* HandicappedBadass: Claims to be one of these in the 5th Challenge. May not be the case.
158* HiddenDepths: He certainly looks like your typical JerkJock character, but the Summer ‘84 DLC pack has him wearing a lifeguard outfit, implying he was at least a good enough person to want to learn how to save people from drowning.
159* {{Irony}}: Of course, this makes his death ironic if Jason kills him by drowning him in the lake.
160* LightningBruiser: Physically the strongest Counselor in the game, and is also blessed with high Speed and Stamina, making him very effective at hit-and-run tactics.
161* ObfuscatingDisability: Possibly. Is seen standing up in his wheelchair and stretching his legs in Challenge Mode.
162* OneLastSmoke: Can be murdered by Jason while smoking during the Challenge mode.
163* SexSignalsDeath: Is killed in the 5th challenge when he's about to get laid with Deborah.
164* TokenMinority: The only black male.
165* UndignifiedDeath: Can be murdered by Jason when he's peeing during the Challenge mode.
166* UnskilledButStrong: Fits this trope much like Vanessa does, as he has very low intelligence for his Repair stat (tied with Tiffany for the lowest) but has the highest strength stat among all counselors, as well as great speed and stamina, making him ideal for those wishing to play a character better suited for attacking Jason. Brandon is also the Counselor who is the most likely to take Jason's mask off with a few well placed melee swings, [[spoiler: which is one of the major steps the player must take to kill Jason]].
167* WalkingTechbane: He's ''terrible'' at repairing anything. Drop off parts near vehicles to help other counselor players but do ''not'' waste your time trying to tinker with anything. You will only fail every [[PressXToNotDie action prompt]] alerting Jason.

170[[folder:Chad Kensington]]
171[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chad_kensington.png]]
172-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BenjaminDiskin
173
174The Preppy Guy. Chad is a rich {{Jerkass}} who is more concerned about his own survival than the safety of his fellows.
175----
176!!Stats:
177* Composure: 1/10
178* Luck: 10/10
179* Repair: 2/10
180* Speed: 9/10
181* Stamina: 4/10
182* Stealth: 6/10
183* Strength: 3/10
184
185!!Unlock Level: 1
186----
187* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Given that he's based on [[{{Jerkass}} Trent]], Chad here can be more redeemable and likable than the remake's HateSink, especially in Challenge mode.
188* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Implied with his Halloween costume DLC (either he knows Karate (although against Jason, yeah, karate chops are a ''[[SarcasmMode good]]'' idea) or he just loves that kind of characters).
189* BornLucky: Has the highest LuckStat out of all characters so far, though it does not necessarily mean that he will always survive a campaign by luck alone. If Chad's luck is in the player's favor, Chad can make use of keeping melee weapons from breaking, and regain stamina quickly upon landing an attack or breaking free from Jason's grip.
190* CowardlyLion[=/=]DirtyCoward: Depends on the player's play-style and whether they're willing to aid others when in danger, but there's no denying that Chad has the lowest Composure out of all counselors and is the most likely to freak out at the sight of Jason.
191** The achievement for escaping in a car or boat alone when there are other surviving counselors is titled "Chad is a Dick" implying this sort of behavior is what he would do without player input.
192** His stats encourage this kind of playstyle. When it comes to fighting Jason, his high Luck improves weapon durability and grants more Stamina back for hitting Jason and escaping his grabs, and his high Speed lets him skirmish fairly effectively, but his low Strength and Composure stops him from actually doing much damage or wriggling out of Jason's grasp without help. When it comes to avoiding Jason, his high Speed is great for covering short distances, his decent Stealth lets him avoid detection early game, and his high Luck lets him run without stumbling and go through windows without cutting himself, but his poor Stamina means he can't run very far and his poor Composure means he'll panic and alert Jason to his location much more easily, forcing players to rely on others distracting Jason for them. Lastly, when it comes to escaping in a car or boat, his high Luck means he can start it quickly, but his poor Repair means he can't make it ready to start very well. This adds up to a very opportunistic playstyle that relies on working with other players... or exploiting them.
193* DumbBlonde: A rare male example. Downplayed, because from what little we know about the counselors, he is only this in the BookDumb sense.
194* FanDisservice: In the swimsuit DLC trailer, he appears in a tight speedo, shows off his surprisingly toned body, strikes a pose for the girls... and promptly gets a spear thrown directly through his face by Jason.
195* FragileSpeedster: Has a very high speed statistic, but is hindered by his abysmally low composure and low strength, making it easy for Jason to kill him should he finally catch up to him.
196* HateSink: WordOfGod says he was designed with this archetype in mind, specifically on the sort of obnoxious, self-centered horror movie character that the audience actively roots for the monster/killer to get. It helps he was based on another character who is this trope from the [[Film/FridayThe13th2009 remake]].
197** The developers seem to have backed away from this in the Challenge mode as Chad is generally friends with all of the other Counselors rather than a {{Jerkass}}.
198* HiddenDepths: Chad has father issues, is a surprisingly caring boyfriend, and wants to be nicer to his butler.
199* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Turns out to be one of these as he goes to comfort A.J. after she has a bad reaction to Chad's story about Jason.
200** Mind you, he's still ThePeepingTom but at least he has the decency to feel ashamed.
201* LovableCoward: Seems to be this to the fandom given his freak outs and Low Composure but EnsembleDarkhorse status.
202* MommasBoy: One of the loading screen tips randomly mentions he's one, albeit "would never admit it."
203* MrFanservice: Well, he is blonde, sharp dressed and oh well... He has a skin of him in speedos showing his buff physique. Eyegasm is coming into Camp Crystal Lake.
204* NervousWreck: He is the counselor with the lowest Composure, getting spooked easily and sobbing in fear.
205* NiceToTheWaiter: After sex with AJ, he talks about how he wants to be better to his butler.
206* OddFriendship: Has one of these with Eric.
207* ThePeepingTom: Spies on Tiffany skinny-dipping during one of the Challenge Modes.
208* SharpDressedMan: Chad wears nice, upscale clothing, as evidenced by his nickname "The Preppy Guy" in concept art.
209* ShoutOut: His Halloween costume resembles the Cobra Kai gi from ''Film/TheKarateKid.'' An alternate color has it resemble Goku's gi from ''Franchise/DragonBall.''
210* SlashersPreferBlondes: Chad was the only counselor with blond hair until Victoria was introduced, and has the lowest Composure, which makes him the easiest to get scared and sensed by Jason.
211* ThugDojo: His Halloween costume DLC is a karate gi, that can even be customized to look like that of the Cobra Kai Dojo from ''Film/TheKarateKid''.
212* WalkingTechbane: Like Buggzy, repairs and maintenance is ''NOT'' his forté.
213* WeakButSkilled: Though his Strength statistic is low, Chad makes up for his excellent Luck statistic, which focuses mainly on combat. A skilled player can make use of Chad's ability to consistently stun a Jason player and step in and out of Jason's attack range with his high Speed statistic, making a competent Chad very hard to catch.

220The Bookish Girl. Studious and small, she's very intelligent and uses her tiny stature and light step to sneak around, staying out of view from Jason.

232----
233* AsianAndNerdy: Depicted as a Caucasian girl originally, she was changed into an Asian girl for the game, and also has the highest intelligence of all characters, giving her a maxed out Repair stat.
234* BewareTheQuietOnes: Considering that Deborah's main survival plan is being quiet and stealthy, and she is one of the weakest counselors in the game next to Jenny, Deborah is surprisingly bold in her words if she's forced to fight off Jason with whatever weapon she has in her hands.
235-->"I ''know'' you can ''die'', Jason!"
236* BornUnlucky: With bad Luck and terrible Strength, it would be unwise to melee Jason as Deborah, and smarter to mitigate this weakness with perks that allow you to start the car/boat faster.
237* GadgeteerGenius: Alongside Eric, she's able to fix cars and electronics in seconds.
238* GroinAttack: She's just as vulnerable to getting a cleaver jammed in her crotch or being split in half with a blade slicing between her legs, but she has a specific one in one of the single player challenges. In the ''Crow Repellent'' objective, [[https://i.imgur.com/xQ2tpAw.png she gets dropped privates-first on a spike in an absolutely agonizing kill, blood spewing from her impaled girl parts and mouth.]]
239* HiddenBuxom: Inverted. Deborah's sweater makes her look like the chestiest female counselor, but her swimsuit shows she's more modestly (but still enticingly) proportioned.
240* MsFanservice: She's quite attractive in her swimsuit.
241* NerdGlasses: Her owlish glasses are definitely not chic by modern standards.
242* SexSignalsDeath: Ends up getting killed by Jason in Part 5 when she's about to have sex with Buggsy.
243* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her swimsuit has a deep back plunge, revealing some skin. A lot of her butt is uncovered and plenty of cheek hangs out in the swimsuit as well, and given the standard camera position, it certainly lends itself to some MaleGaze moments.
244* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Has the highest Repair stat and is the only female character to wear them.
245* StealthExpert: Subverted. While Deborah has a very high stealth stat, second only to the perfect stealth stat of A.J and Tiffany, her composure is average, which means you need to manage your fear level carefully to stay invisible i.e. avoid seeing Jason, witnessing horrific events, spending any duration in the darkness etc.
246* WalkingTechfix: She has maxed out Repair stats. You have to be [[RandomNumberGod very unlucky]] or distracted to miss a single action command prompt as her.
247* WeakButSkilled: Deborah has low Speed, low Stamina and the lowest amount of Strength among all playable counselors so far (tied with Jenny for this), but makes up for it with her perfect Repair stat of 10 that will enable her to fix electronics and cars in seconds and little to no risk of Jason noticing, where it would take other characters a minute at the most. She also boasts a very high Stealth stat, which is complemented with a decent composure value, making her difficult to be detected by Jason if used correctly.

266----
267* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Was based on a Kickstarter backer's real looks.
268* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Eric seems tolerated by the others more than beloved.
269* GadgeteerGenius: Much like Deborah, Eric boasts the highest repair stat of all counselors, and is likely to fix up electronics in mere seconds if given an opportunity.
270* {{Jerkass}}: Tells a horror story despite the fact they petrify A.J.
271* HopelessSuitor: Averted as Tiffany takes him up to make out in Challenge 10#.
272* LethalJokeCharacter: In addition to being a MemeticBadass online, he is also a character who can get people out of the Crystal Lake area very quickly as well as sneak around Jason.
273* OddFriendship: Seems to have one of these with Chad.
274* StealthExpert: Subverted. He has below-average composure, slightly worse than Deborah's. If he can't keep his fear levels in check, Jason ''will find him'' via a quick scan of the Sense ability.
275* SlowerThanASnail: Because of his bad speed, worse stamina, and subpar composure, he's a sitting duck out in the open. If you're going to survive as Eric, never stray too far from a cabin.
276* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Exactly like Deborah, them being the best at repairs and the only characters to wear glasses.
277* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Is something of this because while all of the cast are {{Expy}} characters of popular F13 ones, Eric is an {{Expy}} of one already in the game (Shelly). Eric, notably, came first.
278* {{Troll}}: Tells a scary story about Jason Voorhees at ''Crystal Lake''. May also qualify as TemptingFate.
279* WalkingTechfix: As expected from the GadgeteerGenius he has maxed out Repair stats. A trait he shares with Deborah and Tommy.
280* WeakButSkilled: Eric has low Strength, low Speed and the lowest Stamina among all counselors, but has a perfect Repair stat (tied with Deborah) and one of the highest Stealth stats overall.

299!!Unlock Level: 32
300----
301* ActionGirl: Her relatively high Strength and decent Composure make her good in combat with Jason. In fact, she's the ''only'' female character with above-average Strength.
302* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Originally she was a snarky gangbanger who picked a fight with the protagonists of her feature and attempted to swipe gas from the heroine's car. In the game, she's on very friendly terms with the other campers and even parties with them in cutscenes. She can also help defeat Jason.
303* BadassesWearBandanas: Just like her film incarnation.
304* BornUnlucky: Due to poor LuckStat her melee weapons may break leaving her vulnerable, if you're going to fight Jason as Fox it would be very prudent to have a backup weapon nearby.
305* DistaffCounterpart: She's essentially a female Adam due to their similar statistics, where Adam leans slightly more towards Strength, Composure, and Speed, while Fox leans slightly towards Luck, Stamina, and Stealth.
306* GeniusBruiser: A downplayed example similar to Adam. She boasts the highest Strength out all the female counselors at an impressive 7 out of 10 (prior to Fox's release, Vanessa was the strongest girl at 4 out of 10), and her Repair stat is just high enough for her to comfortably handle fixing things up.
307* HellBentForLeather: She wears a black leather jacket.
308* SparedByTheAdaptation: Can manage to survive Jason Voorhees this time around or even help [[spoiler:Tommy]] kill him.

324* Strength: 1/10
325
326!!Unlock Level: 1
327----
328* BornLucky: She has great LuckStat, so weapons are unlikely to fail her in the middle of battle, and can make a quick getaway in the car or boat if things go sour.
329* DeathByIrony: She can be killed the same way which Chris defeated Jason in Challenge mode.
330* DemotedToExtra: With the exception of her hanging, has the least character development among the Counselors in the Challenge Mode. It is especially noticeable given she's the "star" archetype. Although given that she's the Final Girl archetype, it makes a little more sense that her role in the challenges would noticeably smaller since she'd typically be a survivor, not Jason's victim.
331* FearlessFool: Jenny has maxed out Composure, so if you equip epic/legendary Perks such as Nerves of Steel and Preparedness, she never incurs a stamina penalty for being afraid. The ''Fool'' part of FearlessFool is due to her terrible Repair and Strength stats, so Jenny can't contribute much to the team besides a distraction.
332* FinalGirl: She's based on the trope, however, it can be subverted if Jason successfully kills her before the round is over or before Jenny successfully escapes.
333* GirlNextDoor: She's explicitly called this on her concept art.
334* GlacierWaif: Though she is not necessarily suited to dishing out damage when attacking Jason due to her atrocious Strength statistic, she makes up for having a high Luck value to prevent her weapon from breaking, and she boasts the highest Composure score out of all counselors to help her confront Jason without panicking immediately. Because of her excellent Composure and high Luck, a good Jenny player can easily win a match by lasting long enough to let the time run out.
335* {{Irony}}: Boasts the highest Composure statistic out of all counselors, and yet she's just as panicky and hysterical as the others if she attempts to call the police for help.
336* MsFanservice: In her Summer of '84 dlc costume she shows just as much (if not more) skin as Tiffany.
337* NervesOfSteel: Jenny has a perfect Composure score, making her extremely powerful in the right hands if the player takes advantage of her ability to remain calm while in stealth mode. Her high Composure also makes it more easier than other counselors to break out of Jason's grab. If she is equipped with a high ranking 'Nerves of Steel' and 'Preparedness' perks, Jenny no longer builds Fear, allowing her to replenish her Stamina at top-speed for the entire match.
338* WalkingTechbane: Don't even bother trying to repair anything as Jenny.

345Head Counselor Kenny Riedell. He's smart, organized and a natural leader who oozes charisma. He can keep himself composed in even the most dire of situations which makes him someone you want to be around when Jason is nearby.

357----
358* AmbiguouslyBi: His glossy pink latex hot-cop Halloween costume certainly raises a few eyebrows, but he's seen in bed with [[MsFanservice Tiffany]] in the Virtual Cabin.
359* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Even by the series standards when he's thrown into a woodchipper during Part 4 of Challenge Mode.
360* GreenEyedMonster: Glares at Chad as he shows off his impressive physique during the Spring Break '84 DLC Trailer.
361* HumansAreAverage: Kenny epitomizes this trope. Jason however is a MightyGlacier so he'll be fighting to stay alive by the match's end unless two or more counselors are assisting him.
362* JackOfAllStats: Kenny has 5 out of 10 for every single stat. He doesn't excel in anything, but is not bad at anything either.
363* MasterOfNone: He doesn't excel at anything, as a consequence without giving him [[StatusBuff legendary perks]] you may soon find yourself hurting in any given scenario when you either want to avoid Jason, fight him, run away, or just repair something.
364* SkillGateCharacters: He's designed to be used for beginners, or for those who simply want to do a little bit of everything in a match. While he excels when he needs to fill in for certain roles once players starts dying, he will be outclassed by Counselors who are more adept in specialized roles and are alive and available to work.
365* UnmovingPlaid: Deconstructed. While the shirt is detailed and has wrinkles and lines, the lines and wrinkles are in exactly the same place.

383!!Unlock Level: 24
384----
385* BornUnlucky: Mitch's better at making repairs without alerting Jason. You can't hope to survive long in a fight against the serial killer with this Stoner's dismal LuckStat and low Strength.
386* CaptainErsatz: Even more so than other Counselors as he gets the same death as Chuck in the Challenges section.
387* EruditeStoner: He has the second highest repair stat, behind the tied Eric and Deborah.
388* GadgeteerGenius: Is a viable choice to handle all kinds of repairs with his high Repair statistic, and unlike Deborah and Eric, is able to keep his cool whenever Jason seems to be nearby.
389* HighVoltageDeath: One of the Challenges involves this as a homage to Chuck in Part 3.
390* IntergenerationalFriendship: Is much older than the other Counselors.
391** MayDecemberRomance: Also has a sexual relationship with A.J.
392* NervesOfSteel: Boasts the second highest Composure out of all characters behind Jenny Myers.
393* TheStoner: Is explicitly made to fill in this role, and appears more rugged and unkempt than the other Counselors due to repeated drug use.
394* TemptingFate: Says he's not afraid of the dark when going out into Crystal Lake at night, right next to a shed which probably has Jason next to it.
395* WalkingTechfix: Mitch is fantastic for discreetly repairing cars and boats with his above-average Stealth, excellent Composure rating, so long as [[LeeroyJenkins no one else blows his cover]] mid-journey though due to his below-average stamina.

413!!Unlock Level: 1
414----
415* BornUnlucky: Scores the lowest Luck out of all Counselors, much like A.J.. Unlike A.J., Shelly has a high enough Strength to try and de-mask Jason before his weapon breaks under the right circumstances. Its recommended that you change weapons often and always have a backup.
416* {{Jerkass}}: Shelly attempts to initiate sex with Tiffany on their first date and when she turns him down, calls her a bimbo. He also attempts to scare her while she's playing around in the water. This is carried over from F13 part 3.
417* CombatPragmatist: He has the strength to down Jason, but can't hold him off for as long as Adam or Buggzy could. Rather, the player is expected to ambush Jason via 'hit-and-hide' tactics.
418* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Same with Eric but especially because most of the Counselors can't stand his needy AttentionWhore demeanor.
419* JewishAndNerdy: A quality shared by the actor with his character according to him.
420* JokeCharacter: He is often considered to be the worst of the Counselors due to his poor statistic allocation, although considering that this is Shelly, it's likely intentional.
421* NoSocialSkills: Isn't particularly nice to people despite wanting them to like him.
422* SparedByTheAdaptation: A possible fate for Shelly is that he can escape from Jason Voorhees and Crystal Lake.
423* StealthExpert: Has a high Stealth value to help him traverse the area without attracting too much attention, and coupled with his surprisingly high Strength, a good Shelly player can make use of 'hit-and-hide' tactics to ambush and surprise attack Jason if they play their cards right.
424* StrongerThanTheyLook: Shelly has above-average strength, but his poor Stamina and Speed make him ill-suited to hold the fort against a strong Jason player for long. Used properly, he's better at pulling off [[CombatPragmatist sneak attacks]].
425* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A case of where he is one for himself. As Shelly takes on the role intended for Eric.
426* ValuesDissonance: Shelly's behavior toward Tiffany was bad in the 80s but significantly more so today. It's also a bit LighterAndSofter as he only calls her a bimbo instead of a bitch for not sleeping with him.

431-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/CheramiLeigh
432
433The Flirty Girl archetype. A veritable bundle of energy, Tiffany is good at sneaking around, with a high Stealth stat, and is light enough to run for a long time with good Stamina. She tends to freak out more easily and in general has less in the way of Composure. She's a pretty versatile character, but isn't well-suited for repairing tasks like fixing cars or getting power turned back on in cabins.

446* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: It turns out Tiffany has an identical twin in the 10th Challenge based on Part 4.
447* AngstySurvivingTwin: One of the Tiffany's can become this in the 10th Challenge.
448* BrainlessBeauty: Much like Brandon, Tiffany has the lowest Repair statistic compared to the rest of the counselors, making her a terrible choice for fixing electronics and cars.
449* ButtMonkey: In the beta version of the game, a Tiffany Cox character was always the first of the counselors to be killed off by Jason in the intro sequence before the game officially starts. Averted in the official release, where an NPC takes her place as the first victim before the match.
450** SparedByTheAdaptation: Tiffany has become an EnsembleDarkhorse with the fans and has an achievement for surviving solo.
451* FinalGirl: Her being one is considered highly unlikely. See ScrewDestiny.
452* GiveGeeksAChance: Shelly wants her to do this and she passes. Oddly, she's okay with Eric.
453* HollywoodDrowning: Jason can kill her during a SkinnyDipping homage. {{Justified}} as she's being murdered.
454* HotAsHell: Well, who else was going to wear the sexy and ultra revealing devil costume for the Halloween costume dlc pack?
455* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A common method of killing her as she can get a spear through the eye or be impaled during sex during challenge mode.
456* MsFanservice: Shows the most skin out of all the girls by far, and as mentioned below, her shorts are so short that part of her butt is very visible. There's also a loading screen that shows her in the lake wearing nothing but her underwear (her back's to the camera, though). Plus, she's in the promo for the Spring Break '84 clothing pack, in a very skimpy thong bikini.
457* OutWithABang: Can be killed during sex with Adam.
458* ScavengerHunt: A viable strategy is to utilize Tiffany's excellent Stealth and Stamina, complemented with her decent Speed, is to sneak around in the background to search for important items, and deliver them to counselors that can use them to repair cars and phone boxes more efficiently than Tiffany can.
459* ScrewDestiny: An achievement basically lampshades that Tiffany is the first character to die as a flirtatious vivacious party girl, so her surviving as the FinalGirl is worth noting.
460* SkinnyDipping: Played with. She was in her bikini but only because of ratings according to WordOfGod.
461* StealthExpert: Subverted. Along with A.J., Tiffany may boast maxed out Stealth stats, but her poor composure means she's more easily frightened when alone. Barely a minute into the match she's already lit up like ''Coney Island'' when Jason's using his Sense ability. You're better off utilizing her speed and high stamina value to dodge and evade Jason.
462* UnbuiltTrope: Jenny is considered TheHero and archetypal FinalGirl. However, the first two heroines of Friday the 13th (Alice and Ginny) were more similar to Tiffany in vivacious flirts in relationships with the head counselor.
463* WalkingTechbane: She sucks at fixing anything in general.

483* BattleCry: Gives a very heroic one when unmasking Jason.
484* FragileSpeedster
485* HiddenBuxom: She shows quite a bit of skin in her DLC costumes, revealing that she has a pretty good figure under that tracksuit (which makes sense, given that she's a career athlete).
486* IWorkAlone: Smart Vanessa players will use this strategy, as her atrocious Stealth rank makes her a liability to have around more competent Stealth players. Since Vanessa will attract too much attention, she can put the other counselors playing stealthy at risk of being caught by Jason due to their low speed and stamina.
487* PrecisionFStrike: When Vanessa manages to stun Jason, she shouts what you'd expect. She is also the only character to use this voice line.
488* SassyBlackWoman: Swears the most out of every counselor, and has the second-highest Strength stat of any female.
489* ScavengerHunt: Her main purpose, as Vanessa can help find important items scattered across the campaign more efficiently than the slower counselors due to her high Speed. Any items found then dropped will show up on the map. Though any Vanessa player should refrain from being [[{{Courier}} the Courier]] as you cannot carry parts and weapons in-hand at the same time, not to mention her terrible Stealth stat will blow her teammates cover and alert Jason.
490* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: How Vanessa works if things go very right (see WeNeedADistraction) or ''very'' wrong. A bad Vanessa player sticking with a stealthier but slower character may give both their positions away to Jason, but while Vanessa can easily outpace Jason, her now-exposed companion may not be so lucky. Savvy Jason players will also happily let Vanessa head for the hills while they stalk the easier prey she's supposed to be distracting him from.
491* SirSwearsALot: The female counselors swear more often, with Vanessa Jones at their head. Aside from her above-mentioned PrecisionFStrike, she'll also shout the following:
492-->"You like that, asshole?" (when stunning Jason)\
493"Oh shit. Did he see me?" (when hiding under a bed or in a closet)\
494"The fuck is happening?" (when starting the match)\
495"I'll kill you, I'll fucking kill you!" (when removing Jason's mask)
496* {{Superhero}}: Her Halloween costume DLC lets her dress up as CaptainErsatz versions of ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, and ComicBook/WonderWoman.
497* UnskilledButStrong: Has one of the lowest Repair stats, but has high Stamina, and is also the fastest runner. Her battle stats are also reasonable. Though she's terrible at hiding, Vanessa can easily outrun Jason for some time and keep on running long enough for him to either lose sight of her or realize she's just distracting him from the other Counselors working to make their escape.
498* WalkingTechbane: You should ''not'' be trying to repair anything or delivering parts as Vanessa, her role is to [[WeNeedADistraction distract Jason]] to allow counselors like Deborah a better chance to complete objectives when they're vulnerable.
499* WeNeedADistraction: It's what she's made for. She can use her low Stealth, plus her high Speed and Stamina to draw Jason away from other Counselors, so that they can work in the background while a Vanessa player keeps Jason's attention focused on her.
500* WithCatLikeTread: Currently has the worst Stealth out of all characters and can easily be detected by Jason if the player has Vanessa do literally anything but stay absolutely still.

524* RichBitch: It's mentioned that she comes from money, attends the same country club as Chad, and that her father is the Dean of an Ivy League junior college.
525* WalkingTechbane: She's not the worst, but definitely nowhere near the best either. You could perhaps try to mitigate her weakness with a Perk, though it's still [[PressXToNotDie very risky]].
