8[[folder:The Mallrats]]
9
10The RagtagBunchOfMisfits around which the series revolves. Formed several months after the Virus hit, the Mall Rats are a group of stragglers and young children who either couldn't or wouldn't join other tribes. Their base is the Phoenix Shopping Mall, which they discovered while fleeing from enemy tribes.
11
12Uniquely, the Mall Rats are committed to democracy. Most of them respect the long-dead adults and are attempting to rebuild civilization (the "dream" mentioned in the opening theme) with innovations like school, inter-Tribe markets, fair distribution of labor, etc. They despise the morass of greed and violence that the City has fallen into, but believe they can rehabilitate rival Tribes if they try.

14!!Amber
15[[quoteright:154:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/64f948504223f4e2_Amber_9108.jpg]]
16
17->'''Played By:''' Beth Allen
18->'''Seasons:''' S1, S3-5
19----
20* TeamMom: A role she naturally assumes but occasionally resents.
21* TeenPregnancy: Gets pregnant via Bray, and gives birth on the run from the Technos, naming the child after his father.
22* TheCaptain: Many of the other Mallrats thought of her this way after her [[spoiler: false death in Season 1]]
23* TheKirk: Rational, practical, empathetic, and a good leader.
24* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: it turns out in season 3 she survived the explosion on Eagle Mountain at the start of season 2, and has forged a new identity as "Eagle", the now-leader of the Eco tribe.]]
25%%* WorthIt:
26
27!!Bray
28[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bray_happy_s2.png]]
29 ->'''Played By:''' Dwayne Cameron
30->'''Seasons:''' S1-S3
31
32Bray was an original member of the Mall Rats and periodically their leader. He was in a relationship with Amber, who would give birth to his son Baby Bray (later renamed Baby Jay).
33----
34
35* AFriendInNeed: If Bray had his way, he would never have joined up with anybody at all...but, well, you can't leave a pregnant teenager alone, can you?
36%%* CainAndAbel:
37* ChickMagnet: Girls go to ''war'' over him.
38%%* CrazyJealousGuy:
39* TheDrifter: He likes to wander off without telling anyone he's leaving, which often makes his tribemates wonder if they can trust him. One of Amber's first challenges as a leader is finding a way to make this habit useful to the tribe.
40* TheHero: A role he grew into over the first season.
41* HeroicSeductress: A rare male example. In ''A New World'', he plays along with Eloise's attempt to rape him just long enough to tie her up and run.
42-->'''Eloise:''' Oh[,] this will be a pleasure.\
43'''Bray:''' Absolutely. A real pleasure.
44* ImaginaryLoveTriangle: Believes he and Amber are in one with Pride. (Although Pride does have feelings for Amber, he fully understands that she doesn't reciprocate them. Bray is just picking a fight where none exists.)
45* InformedLoner: He admits that every time he left the Mall Rats- and he left them '''a lot'''- he always knew in his heart that he would come back.
46* ItSeemedTrivial: The Mall Rats assumed that he was the father of Trudy's baby...which leads to a lot of sudden romantic conflict when Bray happens to mention, several episodes in, that he's not.
47** Similarly, he confesses his love to Amber as a way of making another, barely related point.
48%%* PingPongNaivete
49* ReluctantRuler: Because he doesn't believe in the concept of leadership...and also because the Mall Rats are a dumpster fire at the time that Amber suggests he lead them. After she's put in power, they eventually become co-leaders, but only after the strain of being responsible for everyone gets to her.
50%%* TallDarkAndHandsome:
51* ThickerThanWater: Although Zoot was a murderous psycho that Bray had to save Trudy from, he still mourns Zoot's death, because he was his brother.
52
53!!Lex
54[[quoteright:257:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lex___2938.jpg]]
55[[caption-width-right:257:''"I don't ''need'' anybody."'']]
56->'''Played By:''' Caleb Ross
57->'''Seasons:''' S1-S5
58
59Arrogant, selfish and full of macho bravado, Lex was the bully and warrior of the Mall Rats. At an opportunity for profit or power, Lex would put his own needs first, but was nonetheless loyal and protective of his tribe and especially those he cared about the most.
60----
61
62* AbusiveParents: Lex's father beat both him and his mother.
63* TheAlcoholic: He struggles with this and his behavior is generally better when he's sober and has something productive to do.
64* AntiHero: He's more than willing to take the role of TheBigGuy whenever he gets something out of it.
65* BadassLongcoat: a staple of his wardrobe.
66* TheBigGuy: Class One.
67%%* BoldlyComing
68* BookDumb: he seems generally ignorant of most things (culture, art, politics, literature), more than the others around his age who didn't struggle academically as much as he was implied to.
69* TheBully: Season 1 Lex is power hungry and domineering. He's also (see below) seriously insecure. In Season 2 these tendencies make him susceptible to Ebony's power grab attempts, and he and Ebony tend to be on better terms (though still antagonistic and exploitative) than Ebony and the rest of the Mallrats, such that she relies on him as muscle and makes him sheriff when she becomes city leader. Most of his early bullying is focused on Jack (for being a nerd) and the younger kids in the mall. He also hoards water and deceives the group about their supplies to manipulate his power struggle with Amber. He gets a little better when he's given something specific to do that alleviates him of the annoying aspects of leadership that he doesn't have the patience for.
70* CartwrightCurse: A variant on it - [[spoiler:Lex's partners are fine unless they say "I do."]]
71* DarkIsNotEvil: Lex is a bully who dresses in mostly black, who is written with emotional depth and a massive inferiority complex. He's a pretty realistic portrayal of a self destructive young adult with a toxic masculinity problem, but he usually comes through for the Mallrats.
72* DeadpanSnarker: Flashbacks show that pre-virus, he was very snarky and sarcastic.
73-->'''Drill Instructor''': What's your name?
74-->'''Lex''': Lex.
75-->'''Drill Instructor''': That's "Lex, '''Ma'am'''".
76-->'''Lex''': No, just Lex.
77* DirtyCop: As sheriff, he's known to take bribes. His policing style mostly consists of intimidation and threats and he more than occasionally dabbles in smuggling and price-gouging scarce items.
78* FamedInStory: his killing Zoot in early Season 1 (by accident, no less) is something of an urban legend and has religious significance to the Chosen and the Zootists. This is true of all the Malrats but Lex seems to get the most of it and clearly loves the attention. Gel gushes over him in Season 5 and talks about him having "grand romantic adventures," but she has the wrong idea of who he is.
79* HiddenDepths: he's very passionate and has a flair for the dramatic and proves adept at captivating an audience through performance when acting as a resistance leader against the Chosen leads to a raid and impersonation of a Chosen-propaganda performing theatre troop. He doesn't have much intellectual depth, operating out of a medium-level cunning, but he is given much emotional depth in his storylines during the early seasons (YMMV on whether he suffers CharacterDerailment later).
80* HotBlooded: He can be low-key charismatic, but he lacks impulse control. It's one of the reasons he's considered TheLoad; the others don't think of him as very reliable, and they have good reasons.
81* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very much a jerk when he was introduced - and occasionally even later seasons as well - but he always came through for the Mall Rats, helping them to fight off attacking Tribes.
82** [[FreudianExcuse A lot of his early behavior makes sense given what we learn of his backstory]]. He grew up with a father who is implied to have been an alcoholic who was abusive to him and his mother. He struggled academically and never learned to read, and this led to him developing an inferiority complex. His possessive and domineering attitudes with girls in the early seasons might be from watching his mother being abused, his sexual aggressiveness and general macho attitude is overcompensation, and on top of this he and Ryan were at one point conscripted into a paramilitary organization of teenagers where he was physically and sexually abused by a sadistic DrillSergeantNasty (and the fact that she was a woman might also have contributed to his misogyny early on. He gets a bit better when Tai-San helps him realize that what he really wants is an assertive, independent girlfriend who can call him on his crap and hold their own against him physically or intellectually. But this is only when he gets over insecurity. He also gets saddled with most of the "adult" storylines, being one of the older cast members, such as struggling with alcoholism, losing a spouse and child, being sexually aggressive with girls and learning to respect them, and being most susceptible to the virus and having to face accelerated aging and his own mortality. Really, the amount of emotional depth they give an abusive bully was very good writing.
83* LeeroyJenkins: this tendency often sabotages (however unintentionally) the Mallrats' plans. He suffers for it, getting beat up a lot [[TheWorfEffect to show how scary the latest enemy is]]. He fares well against the Chosen in Season 3 but goes rogue when he finds out when he thinks Tai-San has betrayed him.
84* TheLoad: considered this by most of the others, though he's often useful to resistance movements, within his skillset. Notably, he is not exactly subtle, so Season 3 played to his strengths because he was out in the woods attacking the Chosen with Bray and Ebony, because if he was stuck at the mall he would not have been able to manage the passive resistance the others demanded of the tribe. In Seasons 4 and 5 the others kept him at arms length and only involved him as necessary because of his less reliable tendencies and their need for subtlety when dealing with the Technos.
85* MrFanservice: There's a DracoInLeatherPants vibe going on with him even though he's on the hero's side. He wears sleek, mostly black clothes, is a PrettyBoy with long raven hair, and his war paint is sparse and often tribal. He also has a fondness for leather jackets or the BadassLongcoat look.
86* TheNapoleon: Caleb Ross is not the tallest actor on the show. Younger and/or female characters frequently tower over him. It might contribute to his inferiority complex.
87* NeverLearnedToRead: A major source of his insecurity. The first episode contradicted this, but after that the series was pretty consistent about it, and strongly implied that he [[MeaningfulName had dyslexia]].
88** Fans have retconned that first episode to say that someone had told him what the graffiti says, and he was remembering, not reading, it.
89* OffTheWagon: A pretty good depiction of a juvenile alcoholic.
90* PingPongNaivete: he's BookDumb and in addition to that, his CharacterDevelopment doesn't always stick and he often seems to have AesopAmnesia (but not always).
91* TheRival: To Bray and pretty much any other postpubescent male.
92* StickyFingers: some behavior and his comments imply a history of car theft or joyriding; he mentions siphoning petrol was something he's been doing for years; he stole vehicles from Tribe Circus and the Chosen, and is often seen hanging around in abandoned cars or trying to restart them. He's usually the one who suggests finding fuel and he seems the most familiar with cars and tends to be the group's designated driver. Note that the vehicles are usually stolen or attempts to commandeer an abandoned vehicle. The behavior is consistent with general lack of impulse control.
93* TheWorfEffect: as one of the oldest and most aggressive members of the cast, he naturally loses a lot of fights to demonstrate that there is danger. The number of fights Lex loses onscreen (even when sober) eclipses the times he's won (with the exception of the virtual reality plot arc but that was virtual reality).
94* TokenEvilTeammate: Along with Ebony in Season 2, but when he is first introduced, he's been out looting in order to impress the AlwaysChaoticEvil Locos enough that he can join their tribe. Zoot dismissed his loot, and decided to have fun with him instead, so the Mallrats were not exactly his first choice of tribes. Notably he dresses most like a Loco (until Ebony joins them), wearing a significant amount of red and black.
95
96!!Jack
97[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jack___8365.jpg]]
98[[caption-width-right:200:''"I'm a scientist... I lose things, forget birthdays and I'm more familiar with numbers than words!"]]
99->'''Played By:''' Michael Wesley Smith
100->'''Seasons:''' S1-S5
101
102Jack is one of the original members of the Mall Rats. Skilled in technology and science, he has proved to be a valuable friend in helping the Mall Rats to survive.
103----
104
105* FakeDefector: In Season 5.
106* GadgeteerGenius: having a talent for science and technology, he's responsible (along with Dal) for various inventions that benefit the tribe, including a water-filtration system and a wind turbine built from scrap.
107* HollywoodAtheist: Averted. He doesn't put much stake in Tai-San's prophecies because they ''are unscientific''.
108* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Dal's blue. His ideas are generally more fanciful and inventive than Dal's; but Dal is practical enough that when he and Jack work together they come up with some pretty amazing stuff, like a water purification system and an electric generator.
109* TheSmartGuy: Came up with various inventions to help make life easier for the Tribe, as described above.
110
111!!Dal
112[[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dal_1_29.jpg]]
113->'''Played By:''' Ashwath Sundarasen\
114'''Seasons:''' S1-S3
115
116Dal was one of the original members of the Mall Rats. He was neighbours with Amber, who was his close friend before the virus. Dal had planned to flee the city to the country-side with Amber. Being an engineer, Dal's practical skills have aided fellow member and best friend, Jack, into producing water for the Mall Rats.
117----
118
119* BadassBookworm: Dal proves to be this during the tribe circus invasion of the mall.
120* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Jack's red. He's the practical, cool head that sees Jack's inventive ideas through to their application.
121* TheSmartGuy: Like Jack he had a history of tinkering with electronics and chemistry sets. Despite being one of the younger members of the tribe, he was one of the smartest, even helping Jack to repair his rainwater collection system.
122
123
124!!Trudy
125[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trudys5.jpg]]
126 [[caption-width-right:300:''"Come anywhere near Bray or Brady and I will scratch your eyes out!"'']]
127->'''Played By:''' Creator/AntoniaPrebble
128->'''Seasons:''' S1-S5
129
130Trudy arrived to the mall as a teenage single mother, searching for a safe place to birth her baby. In the beginning, she suffered from heavy postnatal depression while dealing with intense unrequited feelings for Bray. Having faced challenges beyond her years, Trudy was always vulnerable, and struggledwithd her mental health. This sometimes manifested in erratic behaviors, including a suicide attempt at one point.
131----
132
133* AmbiguousDisorder: She fluctuates wildly between emotions, has paranoid fears about everyone, and [[{{Yandere}} obsesses over Bray]]. These traits were exaggerated after Zoot's death, although she was always mentally vulnerable.
134* FaceHeelTurn: In Series 2, after returning from the Chosen.
135* GiveTheBabyAFather: She tries to guilt Bray into dating her by appealing to this trope. Bray isn't into it, or the fact that she is using a human life as a bargaining chip.
136* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After visiting the Nomads.]]
137* HeroicSacrifice: A non-fatal example; Trudy allows herself to be taken away by the Chosen to save Lex's life.
138%%* ManipulativeBastard
139* MamaBear: Don't ''ever'' put her son in danger.
140* TeenPregnancy: Much of the first series revolves around her getting pregnant by Zoot and her consequent decision to flee the Locos.
141* WhosLaughingNow: In Series 3, now that she has the Mallrats at her mercy:
142-->'''Trudy:''' Do you remember Jack? When I was just a scared pregnant girl begging to be allowed to stay here?\
143'''Salene:''' We took you in, Trudy!\
144'''Trudy:''' I was never welcome here! Do you have any idea how that felt?
145* WoundedGazelleGambit: Before CharacterDevelopment, she played up her frailty as much as possible to make Bray pay attention to her.
146
147!!Tai-San
148->'''Played By:''' Creator/MichelleAng
149->'''Seasons:''' S1-S4
150----
151%%* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts
152%%* FakeDefector: In Season 3.
153* GranolaGirl: She's an aficionado of holistic medicine and adheres to Eastern-insired, New Age beliefs.
154* TheFundamentalist: Vehemently opposed to Western science and medicine.
155* TheLostLenore: To Lex, in later seasons.
156* ManipulativeBastard: Because she is so kind, few people notice that she never exposes her vulnerabilities or tells anyone about ''herself''. When Lex accuses her of being cold, she grudgingly admits that he's right.
157%%* MysteriousWaif:
158%%* TheNeedsOfTheMany:
159* PragmaticHero: She does whatever is necessary to keep the group stable, and isn't ashamed of any of it. "Necessary" has, to her, included [[spoiler:sleeping with Zandra's boyfriend, defecting to the Mall Rats' enemies, and saving The Guardian's life]].
160* SilkHidingSteel: She never seeks a position of leadership and rarely gets angry...but somehow, she always ends up getting what she wants.
161
162!!Zandra
163[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zandra_closeup_hd.jpg]]
164->'''Played By:''' Amy Morrison
165->'''Seasons:''' S1
166
167----
168* TheDitz: She doesn't seem to grasp the gravity of what's happening in the world. At one point, she says she misses the characters of her favorite TV shows, and wonders "what they're doing"; when she hears about Trudy's new baby, her first reaction is excitement, because of all the cute baby clothes they can dress the little one in.
169* TheFashionista: She changes up her look constantly, and has more outfits than any other member of the group during her season.
170%%* NeutralFemale
171
172!!Salene
173[[quoteright:197:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the-tribe-Salene-the-tribe-13821573-241-350_4629.jpg]]

184->'''Played By:''' Ryan Runciman
185->'''Seasons:''' S1-S3
186
187----
188* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ryan is one of the nicest people, ever, yet if you get him angry he will beat the crap out of you.
189%%* TheBigGuy: Class Two.
190* TheDanza: Though it's most likely just a coincidence seeing how he's no more prominent than most of the characters.
191%%* GentleGiant
192
193!!Alice
194[[quoteright:172:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Alice___7633.jpg]]
195->'''Played By:''' Vanessa Stacey
196->'''Seasons:''' S1, S2, S3, S5
197----
198
199* BigFun: A very rare female example, Alice was a CoolBigSis type of a character that several characters loved dearly for her often cheerful attitude.
200* EnsembleDarkHorse: She was made a regular cast member for seasons 2 and 3 because she was voted the best guest character of the first season in a fan poll.
201* PutOnABus: Taken by the [[spoiler: Technos]] in series 4, returns briefly for the last few episodes of season 5.
202* StoutStrength: While she often was a fun, cheery gal to be around, if needed, she also could knock peoples' heads together, quite literally.
203* TeamMom: For her own tribe in the beginning, and more or less for the Mall Rats whenever Amber wasn't around.
204%%* TranquilFury
205
206!!Baby Bray
207->'''Played By:''' Lucas Hill (S4), Adam Sondej (S5)

230
231After the virus wiped the adults, she found and stayed with Salene, Patsy, Paul and Bob. Cloe was later saved by Amber from the Locos and joined the Mall Rats. A huge animal lover and a loner, she is often seen spending more time with animals.
232----
233
234%%* AllGirlsWantBadBoys
235%%* BrattyHalfPint
236* BrattyTeenageDaughter: To her pseudo-parents, Salene and Trudy.
237* GuileHero: Once the older Mallrats start trusting her with her own tasks in their dealings with the Technos, it turns out that she's rather good at manipulating Ved.

265%%* BrattyHalfPint
266* ButtMonkey: Due to how he's introduced (he gets caught stealing), and because he throws his lot in with Lex, he's not particularly well liked. This leads to many characters treat him as a nuisance and if they have a chance to have a laugh at his expense, they will take it.
267* FakeDefector: Becomes the Oracle for the The Chosen in Season 3, but only to tear them apart from the inside.
268* StreetUrchin: Like many others of the youngest children, KC lived mostly alone before joining the Mall Rats. He was perhaps the most street-wise person of the group.

318[[folder:The Locos]]
319
320The main antagonists of Season 1. The Loco (sometimes called Locust) tribe are crazed anarchists who [[TheSocialDarwinist fetishize personal strength]] and attack whomever they see. They are held together by fear of Zoot, their leader, which morphs into a cultish reverence after his disappearance.

327
328Zoot, named Martin before the virus, was the infamous founder and leader of the Locos, a dangerous tribe of warriors who ruled the city following his slogan "power and chaos". A powerful presence in the post-virus world, Zoot left a legacy that would remain long after his death, with religious cults formed in his name and his image used to spread terror in the city.
329
330----
331* BigBad: As leader of the Locos during Season 1.
332* BurnBabyBurn: Bray sends him off with a Viking-style cremation (as the graveyards are full).
333* CainAndAbel: He is the Cain to Bray's Abel.
334* DarkMessiah: Preaches an ideal of "power and chaos" (rejecting the old world of the adults with their rules) which the Locos adopt; after his death, the Chosen take this and turn him into a god figure.
