9->''"And as I looked down on to the floor, a little voice called out from within me. A voice that said, "Steve, you're not better than these people." I laughed, thinking about how wrong that voice really was."''

11 [[caption-width-right:799:Official head of Sugar Pine 7 and narrator of the videos. ]]
12----
13* CharacterNarrator: Steven adds voiceover narration to the videos as part of the editing process, allowing him to explain things that happen off camera and to make additional jokes.
14* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Cib, often sharing the role with James.
15* ComedicSociopath: His commentary frequently CrossesTheLineTwice...
16* ComicallyMissingThePoint: ... or veers into tangents that highlight his SkewedPriorities.
17** Case in point: "The only thing to fear..." features Parker [[ItMakesSenseInContext violently vomiting up black ooze as he's getting exorcised]]. Steve's only concern is that he'll stop using his curse and DemonicPossession as an excuse not to sell posters.
18* FirstPersonSmartass: In his narrations.
19* HeroesLoveDogs: Although [[SociopathicHero "hero" might be a stretch]], he describes James' dog Vinny as "God's perfect creature," and has two small dogs of his own.
20* ItsAllAboutMe: He refers to himself as the "A-tier" of the Sugar Pine 7 crew, with Cib and James being the "B-tier" and everyone else as "C-tier".
21* MockMillionaire: Claims to be a member of the One Percent. [[spoiler:In "No More Jeremy." he is forced to reveal he isn't rich, he just has more money than Cib.]]
22* PerformanceAnxiety: Every time he's on a stage or in front of someone else's camera, owing to his social anxiety.
23* TeamDad: He regularly has to mediate the sibling-like squabbles between Cib and James, and functionally parents Cib despite being roughly the same age. He also expresses the most concern about the team's mental states, [[PragmaticVillainy because he's their boss and has to manage their poor performance]].
24* WellDoneSonGuy: Comes to realize he is one in "My dad's new girlfriend."

27[[folder: Clayton "Cib" James]]
28->''"I'm always downtown, bro— Oh no, dude!"''
29[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cibphoto.png]]
30[[caption-width-right:1000:Steven's best friend, who is... off.]]
31----
32* TheAllegedExpert: Claims that, by virtue of being Canadian, he has wilderness survival skills and can identify wildlife. He also claims to know how to fix a toilet because his grandfather's a plumber. He doesn't.
33* AmbiguouslyBi: While he has a girlfriend, Cib tries to get Steve (or the nearest male) naked when he's drunk.
34* CassandraTruth: When he tells the group [[spoiler:Parker came to see him in "The whitest lie."]], nobody believes him. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] given that it's [[CloudCuckoolander Cib]].
35* ChaoticStupid: Nearly everything he does can be chalked up to this alignment.
36* CloudCuckoolander: While all of Sugar Pine 7 is strange, Cib is arguably the strangest. The more he speaks, the less sense he makes. The more anyone else speaks, the less he understands.
37* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Steven sends an email notifying the team that Devin will be the acting CFO while he is out, Cib assumes that Steven was putting him in charge simply because he was the one who received it (despite only being copied on it). This leads to Cib firing everybody and nearly being knifed by a distraught FAJAM.
38* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: As explained on the Always Open podcast, he has allergic shiners, meaning that poor circulation causes blood to naturally pool under his eyes and give them this effect.
39* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:He's briefly killed by the pentagram curse when Parker takes a bullet in "Eye for an eye." However, his curse is transferred offscreen to Andrew, reviving Cib at the start of "We unkilled Parker." and rendering Andrew comatose.]]
40* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Undergoes this in "Happy Accident."
41** NinetyPercentOfYourBrain: While under this influence he claims that his brain functions exceed 100% [[spoiler:and he develops a SuperpoweredEvilSide]].
42* TheGadfly: Starting arguments at-will could be considered his superpower.
43* InstantSedation: He has "Snapback Syndrome", which causes him to fall asleep as soon as he hears the sound of someone snapping their fingers.
44* KarmaHoudini: He [[spoiler:killed Parker]] and faced no repercussions for it. He's also shown very little remorse, tried to pass blame onto other people, and ''confessed to it in front of witnesses'' in "Vaper's Anonymous".
45* LethallyStupid: Zigzagged. [[spoiler: One example is in “The Final Video,” where instead of spraying his spray paint at Michael, he instead sprays it directly into his own face, incapacitating himself.]]
46* ManChild: Considers any emotional turmoil solved with a double scoop.
47-->'''Steve''': "Cib's pride is something I would describe as a small boy who's been told he can be anything he wants to be -- a cowboy, a princess... only now he's an adult, and can't do ''anything''."
48* TheMillstone: Generally, he ends up being the source of most of the conflict in the office, often through his InsaneTrollLogic or complete obliviousness to the world around him. Subverted on occasion when his outside-the-box thinking actually saves the day... from a mess he usually made in the first place.
49* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: After murdering Parker, he switches the blame from himself to the group as a whole, not out of selfishness, but AesopsAmnesia.]]
50* OOCisSeriousBusiness: Occurs several times during the series. [[spoiler: Like in "Akrasia," after Steven lets him know about Sami Jo supposedly cheating on him with Parker.]]
51* ToxicFriendInfluence: With regards to vaping. He single-handedly broke the sobriety of an entire Vaper's Anonymous meeting, and got Sami Jo's ''mother'' to vape in "Cib got engaged."
52* VoiceOfTheLegion: [[spoiler:After the pentagram curse jumps to him.]]
53[[/folder]]
54
55[[folder: James [=DeAngelis=]]]
56->''"Guys, I think I just got drafted."''
57[[quoteright:681:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jamesphoto.png]]
58 [[caption-width-right:681: Sugar Pine 7's original camera man.]]
59----
60* BerserkButton: Vinnie goes missing in "Bad dog." He [[spoiler:thoroughly beats and nearly shoots Parker and Jeremy]] over it.
61* BunnyEarsLawyer: InvertedTrope - according to Steve he's a terrible cameraman and keeps leaving early (even booking a vacation in Hawaii when he was supposed to be on a "mission"), yet he's still employed.
62* ComicallyCrossEyed: Has what Steve calls "Circus Eyes".
63* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied to have had a very violent and not entirely legal past.
64** While it's also strongly implied that [[spoiler:he lied about being a water warrior]], he does display some impressive (if less than reputable) skills, such as fighting, counter-interrogation and [[spoiler:body disposal]].
65** [[spoiler:"Death of a water warrior." not only reveals that he's an orphan, but only an ''honorary'' water warrior, having idolized one he met as a child.]]
66* EnragedByIdiocy: Outright admits he wants to kill Alfredo most of the time, and has ''tried'' to kill Cib more than once.
67* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Downplayed. [[spoiler:He takes off the beanie and reveals his hair at the end of "Death of a water warrior." and doesn't wear it again in episodes following.]]
68* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[NoodleIncident Got drafted by NASA]], [[ExactWords to lead]]. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed he was never officially a water warrior, and his frequent "missions" were actually vacations.]]
69* KnightInSourArmor: Is, without a doubt, the most world-weary and cynical man in the office.
70* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:"Death of a water warrior." reveals he was dropped off at a group home as a baby, and stayed there until he turned 18.]]
71* ShellShockedVeteran: Claims to be a former water warrior and particularly in earlier videos shows signs of PTSD.
72* TenMinuteRetirement: Zig-zagged. He hadn't shown up to the office in 5 days by the events of "Return of a friend." [[spoiler:and attempted to quit via e-mail after "Death of a water warrior."]] Of course, he had shown up in the episode previous.
73[[/folder]]
74
75[[folder: Autumn Farrell]]
76->''"I kind of just got stuck with Steven Suptic, y'know? ... He's sticky."''
77[[quoteright:728:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/autumnphoto.png]]
78 [[caption-width-right:728:The main video editor.]]
79----
80* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite the flack she gets in the Sugar Pine 7 office compared to the Funhaus office, she chose to return to Sugar Pine 7 because she legitimately enjoys their company.
81* DiscardAndDraw: At the beginning of "Akrasia", James works out [[AppliedPhlebotinum a remedy]] that trades [[spoiler:her sight for her hearing back, then her sense of smell for her sight back.]]
82* MayDecemberRomance: A 13-year gap with [[{{Creator/Funhaus}} Bruce Greene]]. In-story, given she was cursed at the time, she doesn't remember when that happened.
83* MsFanservice: Usually subverted as she dresses modestly, but she got Alfredo's name tattooed on her butt in "The naked episode." as part of their Streamy Awards campaign. According to Steven, it was her idea.
84* NotSoAboveItAll: She starts spending more time in front of the camera near the end of Chapter 1.
85* TheQuietOne: She usually keeps her headphones on and edits, ''even during their [=RTX=] panel'', so she doesn't respond to much of what the guys are saying to or around her. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:she's legally deaf, until the end of season one]].
86** Also on the podcast, although this is mostly because she's on a podcast with three loud, rambunctious boys.
87* SpearCounterpart: Steve mentions in "I hired Autumn and here's why." that he's excited for the day she finally meets [[{{Creator/Funhaus}} Matt Pe/ke]]. She finally does as of "Funhaus stole our editor."
88* UnfazedEveryman: Autumn doesn't bat an eye at any of the inane, insane, or insulting things said or schemed up by the [[ManChild man children]] she works with.
89** WeirdnessCensor: In "Day of the dead dude.", she [[spoiler:accidentally steps in a pentagram, promptly ''catches on fire'', and is more annoyed that she can't move her feet out of the circle. Compare this to James' and Cib's immediate (even violent) reactions to stepping into the pentagram in "Eye for an eye."]]
90* VoiceOfTheLegion: [[spoiler:While cursed, implied to be a case of DemonicPossession.]]
91[[/folder]]
92
93[[folder: "Famous Actor" James Allen [=McCune=]]]
94->''"You know, I'll be honest, I've done worse things for less money."''
95[[quoteright:763:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fajamphoto.png]]
96 [[caption-width-right:763: An actor who's fallen on hard times. He later becomes assistant editor to Autumn.]]
97----
98* AchievementsInIgnorance: While on a fishing trip with Steve and Cib, he somehow made it from the boat to a river bathroom, completely dry, without the boat going near it. ''While drunk''.
99* AddledAddict: He started volunteering for various drug trials for extra cash in his acting off-season, which combined with his alcoholism, has basically left him a complete wreck by the events of "This is why you shouldn't do drugs."
100* TheAlcoholic: Upon his first appearance in Chapter 2, he's had nothing to drink for 3 weeks except rubbing alcohol [[spoiler:because Parker wasn't around to keep restocking his food]]. Later, he somehow manages to drink 47 bottles of Modelo in under 8 minutes.
101* BrokenPedestal: Steven says that he used to be honored to even be in contact with FAJAM. Now he is just annoyed with him.
102* OfficialCouple: With Mimi.
103* RichesToRags: The first time we see him, he's a famous actor with his own apartment. The second time we see him, he's homeless and plays guitar on the street for spare change. [[spoiler: We later learn he had to resort to living in Parker's house and eating his food.]]
104* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He's [[InsistentTerminology always]] referred to as "Famous Actor James Allen [=McCune=]" (or FAJAM when it's too long to type), in part to distinguish him from the [[OneSteveLimit other James]]...
105** RealLifeWritesThePlot: ... and as explained in the podcast, in part to distinguish their character from [[AsHimself their real life and career]].
106[[/folder]]
107
108[[folder: Mimi Torres]]
109->''"This is your life, not Steve's. You can do whatever you want."''
110[[quoteright:794:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mimiphoto.png]]
111 [[caption-width-right:794: Sugar Pine 7's Producer.]]
112----
113* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: For FAJAM in "Pumpkin Spice Therapy."
114* NervousWreck: Declares the holiday party in "Tis' the Season 2 Finale" a disaster due to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking minor details]], and drinks to get past it. It's implied she's ThePerfectionist.
115* OfficialCouple: With FAJAM.
116* TeamMom: She's the "Office Mom", despite her and Steve's shame in admitting it.
117[[/folder]]
118
119[[folder: Alfredo]]
120->''"The water's not warm, and neither's your edit little boy. Find a new home... before I make you party!"''
121[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alfredophoto.jpg]]
122 [[caption-width-right:1000:A freelance cameraman Steven hired. He's ''never'' seen in front of the camera, and perhaps that's for the best.]]
123----
124* AmbiguouslyHuman: Bordering on BizarreAlienBiology, depending on what you believe. See {{Gonk}} below.
125** Apparently he has pincers. Which would help explain why Steve finds him so terrifying.
126** "Harassment in the workplace." reveals that not only does he only have one eye, but when he drinks wine, ''there's more left in the cup than what he started with''.
127** In "A traitor in our midst..." he claims that he actually has ''sixteen'' eyes, but one of them falls out when he's thinking. Of course, this is [[CloudCuckoolander Alfredo]] [[UnreliableNarrator speaking]].
128* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Inverted. While he seems to have a terrible concept of what sex even ''is'' for other people (with him believing that [[spoiler:Sami Jo hugging Parker was proof of a secret affair]]), "Harassment in the workplace." has him explain in detail the twisted things he would like to do to Autumn in his pursuit of her, to her face.
129* DepravedBisexual: Apparently has a FriendsWithBenefits situation with [[LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez Jordan Maron]], and enjoys [[EvenTheGuysWantHim getting hit on by Aleks]] from Creator/CowChop. On the other hand, he all but ''stalks'' Autumn; see above.
130* {{Gonk}}: While he's never seen on screen directly, Autumn describes him as looking "like three men falling off of each other."
131** "We found a dog." shows the audience his shadow as he speaks. There is something ''cartoonishly'' wrong with his head shape -- as in, literally out of a poorly-drawn comic. [[spoiler:His head appears to be conical with no visible neck. His nose is at least a foot long and curved like a proboscis, his lips point out about half as far, and the gap between them is an indent in the skull.]]
132** [[KavorkaMan Yet in spite of this,]] EvenTheGuysWantHim.
133* NonSpecificallyForeign: He has an accent. Nobody knows what that accent is.
134* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Parker's death in "Akrasia" could have been avoided had Alfredo shown Steve the rest of the footage.]] Nearly followed suit when Cib called him out on this, as a slip of the tongue made this error sound intentional, when in truth, [[CloudCuckoolander he had no idea what he was looking at]].
135* STDImmunity: Averted. Since he ReallyGetsAround, he gave [[LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez Jordan]] gonorrhea sometime before "Sugar Pine 7 [=REACTS=]".
136* TalkativeLoon: Only about half of the things he says make any sense as phrased.
137* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite consistently being described as [[AmbiguouslyHuman grotesque]] in all of his appearances, he's able to go out in public without inciting panic, only drawing suspicion when up close. Only Steve and Autumn seem to be bothered by his unseen appearance.
138* TheVoice: Alfredo's face is never shown.
139[[/folder]]
140
141----
142
143''Out of Office Members''
144[[folder: Parker [=McGhghy=]]]
145->''"Must... be... nice."''
146[[quoteright:805:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/parkerphoto.png]]
147 [[caption-width-right:805:Steven's friend and coworker, appearing to be in charge of the merchandise and shipping.]]
148----
149* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead]]: [[spoiler:Climbs out of his grave at the end of "Day of the dead dude.", after Autumn steps in a pentagram.]]
150** [[spoiler:CameBackWrong]]: [[spoiler:"Eye for an eye." shows he can't die again -- walking off being hit by a car and even shrugging off a bullet to the brain -- so long as he can trade LiquidAssets with someone marked by the pentagram curse.]]
151* ButtMonkey: To say Steve tolerates him would be a stretch, and he ends up taking much abuse (like getting his nose broken by James accidentally, being [[ColdBloodedTorture waterboarded]] by Steve intentionally, or being cursed by a psychic... ambiguously).
152** Parker claims to know what Hell's like... and "it's actually kinda nice." Steve immediately points out that that means even the pits of Hell are ''better'' than Parker's current life.
153* TheDanza: Apparently, he's the sole [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of the main cast, as his actor's surname is Coppins.
154* DesignerBabies: [[spoiler:According to Jeremy, Parker was grown in a lab "from goat [=DNA=] and the boil of a child who smoked way too many cigarettes and a lot of [=UV=] rays and soil." The process was quite expensive.]]
155* DemonicPossession: He was cursed by a psychic during the trip to Idyllwild, which led to this for a time.
156* DoggedNiceGuy: For Sami Jo. As a result, [[spoiler:she grows to confide in him about her relationship troubles with Cib, although the two remain JustFriends.]]
157* ExtremeDoormat: According to Steve, his response to being upset with Steve is to aggressively compliment him.
158* FirstNameBasis: His last name is shown [[spoiler:on his headstone, immediately prior to his resurrection.]]
159* HopelessSuitor: Claimed to fall in love with Sami Jo as soon as he saw her. On her first date with Cib. Despite never having spoken to her.
160* KilledOffForReal: [[KilledOffscreen Appears]] to have been killed by Jeremy and left in the desert in "I'm tired of good times.", [[SubvertedTrope only to show up again a few episodes later]]. [[spoiler:Then Cib mercilessly bashed his head on a table corner at the end of season one. Subverted again when he returns several months into Season 2.]]
161* TheOtherDarrin: Occasionally gets a cool upgrade (where he looks frighteningly like Rickey Mizuno), but this never lasts.
162* RealLifeWritesThePlot: His contract with Disney [[spoiler:ate a lot of his time and led to his character's death at the end of season one.]] [[spoiler:He eventually found time and returned from the dead later in Season 2.]]
163[[/folder]]
164
165[[folder: Jeremy]]
166->''"Do you have a problem with... children of gays?"''
167[[quoteright:544:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeremyphoto.jpg]]
168 [[caption-width-right:544:One of Parker's housemates.]]
169----
170* EvenEvilHasStandards: "[[spoiler:Finally Burying Parker]]" implies he's taken issue with Cib's KarmaHoudini status.
171** "No more Jeremy." reveals this is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]: he's a MadScientist and annoyed that Cib [[spoiler:killed a very expensive experiment]]. Once this comes to light, [[spoiler:Cib is EasilyForgiven]].
172* EvilIsPetty: Throughout Chapter 2, he [[spoiler:refuses to help hide Parker's corpse in spite of his experience doing such, unearths it and leaves it in a public place, anonymously identifies it for the police, shows up at the office to taunt and terrify the crew, abducts Andrew from Florida in order to use him as a meatshield, and ultimately outs Steve and James' biggest secrets]]. While Jeremy would have legitimate reason to [[spoiler:turn in his roommate's murderer (and accessories to murder), particularly ones who buried his roommate's body in his backyard despite his expressed refusal, he admits he didn't really care about Parker as a ''person'' and just wanted to get back at Cib for ruining a particularly expensive ''experiment''. He never really gives a reason for getting everyone else involved.]]
173* KryptoniteFactor: Pumpkins freak him out. Apparently they make him feel [[spoiler:[[BroughtDownToNormal human]].]]
174* LukeIAmYourFather: As James points out in "No more Jeremy.", [[spoiler:Jeremy was technically Parker's father. However, he does not seem to have any fatherly attachment to Parker so much as the time and money put into [[DesignerBabies making him]].]]
175* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Idly sharpens knives and carries shovels. Was believed to have killed Parker in the desert, and is generally considered the most likely person on the team to be a secret murderer. His reaction to getting mowed down by a car? To stand up and ''calmly'' walk after it.
176* [[spoiler:RealityWarper]]: "Are you sure about that?"
177** Andrew describes him in "Pumpkin Spice Therapy" as "a force of nature."
178* StalkerWithoutACrush: Often follows the main [=SP7=] guys from a distance.
179* SunglassesAtNight: Rare are the days that he's seen without them.
180-->'''Steve''': "Even though I couldn't see him properly, I still realized that that was Jeremy -- he's the only person that would wear sunglasses on a ''cloudy day''."
181* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:While Michael Jarvis is shaking down Steve in "A taste of the good life.", Jeremy comes up from behind and turns the tables on him [[PetTheDog to retrieve Steve's glasses]].]]
182* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He believes he was having a heart attack around [[spoiler:his ex, Jenneth]].
183[[/folder]]
184
185[[folder: Andrew]]
186->''"Who's your favorite warrior of all time? I think mine's probably Achilles, but maybe also... Jason Statham?"''
187[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/andrewphoto.jpg]]
188 [[caption-width-right:1000:Another of Parker's housemates.]]
189----
190* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Panics after realizing Parker's a zombie and tries to lay him back to rest this way in "Eye for an eye." Unfortunately, Parker was bound to Cib at the time...]]
191* TheBusCameBack: In "No more Jeremy.", he is seemingly teleported from Florida back to his house.
192* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler:Cib's curse inexplicably jumped to Andrew at the start of "We unkilled Parker." and put him under. Jeremy keeps him in his room under lock and key so Parker won't find out, implying he was responsible for the jump.]]
193** UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:He's absolutely fine in Chapter 3, but [[LampshadeHanging questions if]] he's [[AbortedArc still supposed to be]] in a coma.]]
194* ForgettableCharacter: Nobody in the group remembers his name or knows anything about him, not even his roommates.
195* NiceGuy: Recorded a heartfelt video thanking Steve when he (incorrectly) believed the trip to Idyllwild was for his birthday. He showed the most genuine grief to news of [[spoiler:Parker's death]], but appears to have forgiven the perpetrator already. He tries to help Jeremy "feel alive" with no ill will after Jeremy [[spoiler:abducted him]].
196* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Given that he'd just seen [[spoiler:his dead friend teleport across the street]], it's certainly understandable.
197* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:"First Parker leaves, now James?" reveals he's thirteen.]]
198[[/folder]]
199
200!!'''Other'''
201[[folder: Sami Jo]]
202->''"I'm allergic to peanut butter... I forgot."''
203[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/samijophoto.jpg]]
204 [[caption-width-right:1000:Cib's girlfriend, originally introduced as his Tinder date in "The annual bi-weekly Sugar Pine 7 sleepover."]]
205----
206* DistaffCounterpart: While more subdued than Cib in many respects, Sami Jo has no issues keeping up with his ''unique'' concept of a date. Her personal [[CloudCuckoolander cuckoolander tendencies]] [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth even manage to put]] ''[[DepravedBisexual Alfredo]]'' [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth off]].
207* MistakenForCheating: Apparently has been texting Parker behind Cib's back, [[spoiler:and Alfredo filmed her going to Parker's house and embracing him. Fortunately, it was just to talk because she felt Cib wasn't listening to her. Unfortunately, Alfredo didn't tell anyone he filmed that talk until Cib was on his way to kill Parker.]]
208* RomanceOnTheSet: According to her, dating Cib "started off as a bit. No longer a bit."
209* [[UnderstandingBoyfriend Understanding Girlfriend]]: She is endlessly patient with Cib, forgives him very quickly for [[spoiler:believing she was cheating on him]], and takes getting fired by him in "Pumpkin Spice Therapy" in stride.
210[[/folder]]
211
212[[folder: Michael Jarvis]]
213->''"You should probably find a new career. You're bad at acting."''
214FAJAM's agent. [[spoiler:James begins coming to him for work in Chapter 3.]]
215----
216* BackportedDevelopment: Up until "His secret past," Michael’s backstory was left in the air, with him seemingly [[EntitledBastard behaving the way he does]] for no reason. However, FAJAM recounts their experiences together as teens, directly showing that [[spoiler: Michael's [[PettyChildhoodGrudge grudge]] towards the Sugar Pine 7 channel stems from him coming up with the idea first.]]
217* BunnyEarsLawyer: Subverted. Despite his ambition and treating anyone who enters his field of view as property, [[spoiler:James confirms Michael hasn't actually found any work for him by "A taste of the good life."]]
218* DepravedBisexual: He has a domineering personality, appears to have emotionally broken FAJAM, has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace with [[spoiler:James ''or'' Lauren]], frequently makes sexual comments as threats, and seems to think of violence as a first resort.
219* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His relationship with his clients appears not unlike that of an abusive pimp.
220* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Jeremy knows all about his daughter.]]
221* ItsAllAboutMe: His occupation as an agent should have him putting his clients before himself, but instead he commonly treats them as [[ExtremeDoormat far beneath him.]]
222* [[spoiler:SelfMadeOrphan: It's implied in "His secret past." that Michael kills his own [[AbusiveParents father]], with Jamie as the witness to the final blow.]]
223** [[spoiler: This action parallels Michael's father's treatment of him throughout his life, and shows that he has finally reached the point of TurningIntoYourParent, despite his hatred for the man.]]
224[[/folder]]
225
226[[folder: Jason]]
227->''"Fuck your foreskin."''
228[[quoteright:785:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jasonphoto.jpg]]
229 [[caption-width-right:785:Hacker of the Sugar Pine 7 channel. [[spoiler: He works for Michael Jarvis, but later turns on him.]]]]
230----
231* OlderThanTheyLook: Subverted. [[spoiler: Jason is introduced as the fourteen year old hacking into the Sugar Pine 7 channel, but is later revealed to be thirty years old. Before this reveal, however, Steven, James, Cib, and Jeremy all have [[WouldHurtaChild no qualms beating him up]].]]
232* OpenMouthInsertFoot: In "Beating up a 14-year-old," Jason reveals [[spoiler: the location of his laptop before regretting this statement and following it up with an attempt to get under Jeremy's skin about Jenneth.]]
233* RevengeIsSweet: Subverted. [[spoiler: He actually doesn't end up being able to take revenge on Michael for the [[BadBoss wrongs done to him]], instead getting kicked out of the plan before it's even formulated.]]

237[[quoteright:723:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alyssaphoto.png]]
238 [[caption-width-right:723:Steven's girlfriend. When appearing in videos, she is usually only in the background.]]
239* BrutalHonesty: Has no problems telling Sami Jo what she thinks of her dancing in "Tis' the Season 2 Finale."
240* DeadpanSnarker: When she is onscreen, she surpasses Steven at this.
241* OfficialCouple: Engaged to Steven as of "This Is What a Vacation in Iceland Is Like."

251[[folder: Devin]]
252An old friend of the James-es.
253* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Since mid-October 2017, he has completely vanished from videos and has not been mentioned onscreen by any of the others. This is because [[RealLifeWritesThePlot it was decided, for unknown reasons, that Devin's work on Sugar Pine 7 would be completely offscreen as a writer.]] As of December of the same year, however, Devin appears to no longer be involved with Sugar Pine 7 or Rooster Teeth at all, as evidenced by some questionably hostile tweets he has posted, including a recent one demanding he no longer be tagged in things related to SP7, as well as the fact that he and the rest of the cast no longer follow each other on Twitter, causing many fans to assume that something bad went down between them off camera.
254* OnlySaneMan: He's occasionally slow on the uptake, but usually the first to point out the obvious. He also tries the hardest to keep the others on track during work hours.
255** Unfortunately this also works against him, since his relative normalcy leaves him with no control over anyone else in the office.
256* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite generally being the most serious person in the office, he still displays some moments of silliness that the others usually partake in, such as helping Cib prank Steven with the Forbidden Zone and genuinely believing Steven that the preparations for the Streamy Awards were actually for James and Lauren's wedding.
257* TheReliableOne: Steve ''officially'' put him in charge when he was away for the day in "Pumpkin Spice Therapy."
258* YouLookFamiliar: Looks just like Denver Colorado... except [[spoiler:without the sunken eyes]]. They have a history.

264* BrutallyHonest: Claims to be completely shameless.
265* HappilyMarried: To her editor Mike.
266* StageNames: "Scully" is not her real surname.
267* TokenMinority: The sole Asian among the Sugar Pine 7 crew. She makes videos about Japanese culture, language, anime and her love of {{Hentai}}.

272 [[caption-width-right:805:Steven's therapist who he only visits for refills of his Adderall prescription.]]
273* ComicallyIneptHealing: Not a fault of his own, Steven recites a plot for a Christmas horror movie during their session instead of actually sharing details about his life.
274* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: His jokes during Steven's therapy session are incredibly far from the series' typical sense of humor, and he ends up having to [[DontExplaintheJoke explain the jokes he makes.]]
275[[/folder]]

277[[folder: Farid]]
278Rooster Teeth's handler for Sugar Pine 7.
279* StalkerWithoutACrush: Aside from generally acting creepy, he goes so far as to install cameras inside the office without anyone's knowledge.
