[[https://housemates-oct.deviantart.com Housemates]] is a completed {{Original Character Tournament}} created by [[http://yukohanna.deviantart.com/ YukoHanna]] and hosted on Website/DeviantArt. The tournament is set in a haunted house being promoted by a new reality TV series called 'Housemates.'

There were two full seasons of the tournament, and the official statement from the judges is that there will not be a third. The first went to [[https://redfishing.deviantart.com/ RedFishing]]'s character [[https://redfishing.deviantart.com/art/H-OCT-Scarecrow-reference-266151872 Scarecrow]], and the second was won by [[https://sunbunko.deviantart.com/ SunBunko]]'s [[https://sunbunko.deviantart.com/art/Housemates-OCT-Ref-Eric-and-Holly-422465491 Eric and Holly]].

!!This OCT contains examples of the following tropes:
%%* ActionDuo: Fuyu and Aki, Jeri and Rein, Rob and Bonbon, Steve and Marco
%%* AdorableEvilMinions: Cassidy's servant B.O.T
* AnotherDimension: Baimu accidentally crashed into this one.
%%* BattleButler: B.O.T
%%* BerserkButton: Don't call Cassidy a freak.
* BloodBath: Round 1, Pan got pulled into one.
%%* BrotherSisterIncest: Sister-sister with Alicia and Irina
%%* CuriosityKilledTheCast: Pretty much nothing in the house is benign.
* CookingDuel: Although there are plenty of physical skirmishes, fighting for the sake of fighting is generally not a deciding factor or driving force in the matches, and it takes a backseat to other types of interactions between characters.
%%* CowardlyLion: Rob.
%%* DeadpanSnarker: Pan.
%%* EmbarrassingFirstName: Pansy the Faun.
%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Davey… not that he actually ''realizes''.
%%* HauntedHouse: The setting.
%%* MadScientist: Cassidy [[ObviouslyEvil Mad]][[MeaningfulName son]].
* MeaningfulName: A couple of instances.
** Pansy the Faun. (A pansy is a type of flower, and also a [[DontExplainTheJoke derogatory term for a wimp]]. His preferred nickname, Pan, is also the name of a Greek god.)
** Roots, fittingly, controls plants.
** Scarecrow. His presence scares away animals. [[spoiler:We find out a bit more about why later, as it turns out that Scarecrow has a supernatural disease that makes him dangerous and gives him an [[https://redfishing.deviantart.com/art/Housemates-Ep-3-3-Damien-Mariko-305912478 evil aura]], and animals apparently notice it.]]
%%* MonochromaticEyes: Baimu.
%%* OddFriendship: Keith and Ethan, Ebenzer and Algernon
%%* OfficialCouple: Robs and Roots.
%%* PrecisionFStrike: Bonbon can be... ''blunt''.
%%* PutTheirHeadsTogether: Round 1, B.O.T to Ebenezer and Algernon.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: B.O.T, Scarecrow, the Chapel twins, and [[spoiler: anyone Tessa possesses]]. Justified for the last three examples, as [[spoiler: Scarecrow and the twins are inflicted with the same supernatural disease, which happens to turn the eyes of anyone infected red, and when Tessa possesses someone their eyes color changing to match her own is part of the conditions for her power.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Rob is very sensitive for an artificial being.
%%* RobotMaid: A male variation of B.O.T.
%%* ScaryShinyGlasses: The Director, Cassidy Madson.
* SilentBob: Scarecrow. He doesn't even say a lot in his own ''mind''.
%%* SlashFic: Davey/Scarecrow anyone?
* {{Tagline}}: Once You're In, You Can't Get Out.
* VictimOfTheWeek: During the first season, a lot of characters end up as [[spoiler: Tessa's host body]] at one point or another.
