Fortnite Characters
Save the World | Battle Royale

Over the years, Fortnite's take on the battle royale genre has built up its own story, separate from the one seen in Save The World. Starting with Chapter 2, Season 5, fully interactable Non-Playable Characters were added to the map, breathing life into the Island.

The Looper

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chapter_2_recruits.png

The default appearances for the Looper at the start of Chapter 2.

The player character. Abducted from their home reality and stuck in a time loop, The Looper traverses the island fighting for survival and, hopefully, an escape from the Loop.

Action Survivor: Many of the playable characters appear to be civilians, but everyone can grab a gun and use it properly.
Beware the Silly Ones: In spite of all the goofy antics you can get up to, when the gauntlet is thrown the Looper always steps up, whether it's infiltrating an alien mothership or helping to pilot a Humongous Mecha.
Born Lucky: While their situation is admittedly pretty dire, the Looper has survived all of the reality-destroying, existence-threatening events that constantly plague the Island(s) by the skin of their teeth. In particular, how they managed to avoid getting turned into chrome (when basically the entire island and every other looper was shown getting chromed) is just chalked up to being supremely lucky.
Brought Down to Badass: Superheroes trapped in the loop have a pretty bad grasp on their powers due to the Loss of Identity, only able to feebly replicate what they can usually do. That said, there are plenty of guns laying around...
The Chew Toy: The universe is really unkind to you. Not only did you get stolen from your home reality and forced into a life-or-death battle royale that never ends, but you've had to witness tons of reality-ending events play out (and more often than not, be at the center of them.) Their situation improved remarkably once the Seven took them in and granted them a slight reprieve from the time loop, only for the Seven to perish under various circumstances, leaving them alone again (well, AMIE is still around, but she's not much of a comforting presence).
The Chosen Many: While story quests and events treat you as if you're the only one of your kind, there are plenty of other players running around. Later events integrated more players into the events (usually you and 3 others, but it varies) but the story quests continue to treat you as a unique entity.
Everything Trying to Kill You: There are (give or take) 99 other loopers to contend with, none of whom are likely going to be ones for diplomacy (it is a Battle Royale Game, after all). As if that wasn't enough, there's hostile fauna, aliens, cube monsters, the Imagined Order, an enclosing deadly storm...
Featureless Protagonist: You can be a human, alien, fish, wolf, a mass of energy, and everything in between.
Gameplay and Story Segregation:
- In Chapter 2 Season 7, you're canonically allied with Dr. Slone and the IO against the aliens. However, you can complete quests from pro-alien characters and a Kymera soldier, and Slone and her IO guards are hostile NPCs.
- Likewise, in Chapter 2 Season 8, you're canonically fighting against the Cubes and the Sideway Fiends, but you can accept quests from Dark Jonesy.
- Inversely, you can play as characters who are enemies with your canon alignment, such as playing as Sunny while completing quests for Slone.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: A consequence of being stuck in the Loop, The Looper lost their memories from their original reality. They shouldn't be able to remember things that happen from loop to loop, but during Chapter 2 Season 5 they gain Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, possibly as a result of all the crazy things that happen to them during events. The Rift Tour event also shows that they are able to remember things from Chapter 1 as well. The finale of Chapter 3 further reinforced this, with flashbacks of the Looper at the various events that had played out over the past 3 chapters at that point (regardless of if you were actually there for those).
Loss of Identity: Due to the memory altering effects of the loop, very little of your character's original personality is intact, providing an in-universe justification for the wildly out of character things you can make, say, Batman do.
Pinball Protagonist: The Looper ends up in the employ of everyone from the Imagined Order to Iron Man, to a sapient tree and a talking fish. And that's before we get into all the insane events of the story.
Remember the New Guy?: Even if you didn't start playing Fortnite until today, the story treats you as if you've been around since the beginning.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: The Looper seems to be able to remember things from loop to loop, and are able to resume objectives in questlines right where they left off, but rememeber nothing from their original reality. Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point shows that IO agents are equipped with a device that allows for this, providing a possible explanation.
Sole Survivor: Seemingly the only member of the Seven still standing as of Chapter 4, with the exception of AMIE.
Supporting Protagonist: Insofar as one can be the protagonist of a never ending, live service Battle Royale Game, the Looper usually handles the boots-on-the-ground stuff while the other main characters such as Jones or the Seven handle the big guns. However, during the Chapter 3 finale, with the Paradigm possibly killed and the rest of the Seven (including Jones) still MIA, the Looper takes center stage for Chapter 4 Season 1.
Temporal Duplication: The in-universe justification for multiple players using the same skins causing a Me's a Crowd scenario. The Island has a "Groundhog Day" Loop that, even if one manages to leave, still repeats by creating a temporal copy of everyone who was ever in it.
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Since you're in a time loop, nothing is stopping you from destroying houses, killing peaceful islanders, slaughtering animals, etc. and everything will just return to normal as if nothing happened the next loop.
The Voiceless: Played with. It's been explicitly stated several times that most people stuck in the Loop cannot speak, but the Looper is able to hold a conversation with various islanders and communicate over the phone. However, they only seem to be able to do this with other loopers, as they stay silent in the presence of people that are outside the loop such as Jones and the Foundation.

The Imagined Order

In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hp1eq4ncbsz71.jpg

"What the Imagined Order are doing to The Zero Point isn't natural. They're not just messing with the lives of countless sentient beings. They're threatening the balance of The Omniverse itself. To them, it's all worth it in their pursuit of knowledge and power."

The Imagined Order, often referred to as just IO, is an ancient inter-dimensional organization that maintain "order" within the reality zero and in multiple realities, via the use of The Zero Point. They are in control of the loop and the storm. They use the Zero Point to traverse and manipulate realities (often dramatically upsetting their evolution) as well as collecting any information of them and The Zero Point they can along the way. According to The Foundation, they threaten to upset the balance of The Omniverse, but for them this price is acceptable as long as it allows them to quench their thirst for knowledge and power.

Ambiguously Evil:
- In Chapter 2 Season 5, they want to prevent loopers from leaving the Island/Loop and send their mooks after them, and when Jonesy attempts to learn more about what's really going on, they strip him of his credentials.
- In Chapter 2 Season 6, Jonesy goes off on his own to stabilize the Zero Point and teams up with the Foundation, even as Dr. Slone tells him he's going against everything the IO worked for.
- In Chapter 2 Season 7, Slone is the leader of the resistance against the aliens, though if you try to enter IO areas, she's a fightable boss along with her IO Guards. However, the Battle Pass trailer suggests fighting Slone and the IO Guards is only canon if you're one of the alien invaders.
- In Chapter 2 Season 8, not only has Slone abandoned the Looper to die in an explosion but both Slone and the IO guards continue to attack them even after the alien invasion has ended (though this may be Gameplay and Story Segregation, as they would also attack you in the previous season despite canonically being allies).
Ancient Conspiracy: According to Slone in the Imposters LTM trailer, the IO has been around for thousands of years.
Big Bad: The most prominent alongisde the Last Reality. Most of the lore revolving the game has at some point the interferance of the Imagined Order, with even prompting the total destrution of the island in Chapter 3 season 2 via a doomsday device.
Continuity Cavalcade: In the Imposters LTM, we see that the Research Lab is studying Kevin, Captain America's shield, the Infinity Blade, and Mecha Cuddle Master's helmet.
Fun with Acronyms: IO also stands for "input, output".
The Reveal: Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point and the Imposters LTM from Chapter 2 Season 7 reveal that the IO controls the Loop, as well as the Storm.

John Jones

Agent John "Jonesy" Jones

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7fc85f71_4459_4223_8edd_794569182c9c.png

"Look sharp, we're saving reality."

Voiced by: Troy Baker
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 4, Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 6, Chapter 2 Season 8, Chapter 3 Season 1, Chapter 3 Season 2
Artist: Brandon Vuong

, Adam Ford, Patrick Murphy

"Alright, I just need to stabilize the Zero Point and reseal the bridge, but not let anyone escape. Easy, right?"

— Chapter 2 Season 5 Story Trailer

A former Imagined Order agent who went rogue due to a lack of assistance in stabilizing the Zero Point.

Actor Allusion:
- Jonesy recruits Daryl and Michonne. The actors for Daryl and Jonesy, Norman Reedus and Troy Baker respectively, were both in Death Stranding, with the former as The Hero and the latter as the Big Bad.
- Additionally, like Norman Reedus, Troy Baker also has some experience in surviving a zombie apocalypse.
Ambiguous Situation:
- No one, not even in-universe, knows if the original Jonesy is Agent Jones, Bunker Jonesy, or Recruit Jonesy.
- At the end of the Chapter 2 Season 6 opening cinematic, he gets trapped in the Loop like the other Loopers. However, it's unclear if he's been transformed into the rift butterfly again (as the Agent Jonesy style quests have you follow one to unlock the styles) or is just hiding among the other Loopers (as shown in the loading screens for himself, Mecha Cuddle Master, and Loki; alternatively, he may be disguised as Guernsey).
Bond One-Liner: He's not the one who actually kills her, but he still gets a line right before Dr. Slone is killed in the ending event of Chapter 3 Season 2.
Dr. Slone: Any last words?
Without even noticing it, Slone is crushed by the Paradigm's mech.
Jones: Uh... Look out?
Costume Evolution: Throughout Chapter 2 Season 5, as Jonesy recruits more Guest Fighters and ventures in their realities, his outfit changes to reflect his meetings and experiences. His clothes are torn and tattered when he goes to the worlds of The Walking Dead and Street Fighter before then carrying around a crossbow like Daryl's, he briefly wears sunglasses just like the Terminator and Sarah, he makes his clothes look like Ryu's, he dons padded armor when he helps Ripley against the Aliens, decorates it with the Mandalorian's mudhorn sigil, and starts wearing a poncho to hide his identity after he gets trapped in the Loop.
Decomposite Character: This Jonesy is not the same as the other Jonesys found throughout the Island — those are his "snapshots", or clones, created every time he enters the Loop or are brought from other realities. Most notably, he is not the same Jonesy as Recruit Jonesy, who was prominently featured in Fortnite: Battle Royale prior to Agent Jonesy's debut.
Forced Transformation: In the opening cinematic to Chapter 2 Season 6, a reality wave from the Zero Point turns him into the rift butterfly, forcing the Looper (read: you) to seal the portals instead. Another reality wave towards the end seems to revert it... though if the Agent Jonesy style quests are any indication (where players must follow the rift butterfly to unlock alternate styles for the Agent Jonesy skin on the Battle Pass), it's possible the final reality wave that turned the island primal turned him back into the rift butterfly again.
Fugitive Arc: After being stripped of his credentials at the end of Chapter 2 Season 5 for trying to discover the truth about IO, the Seven, and the Zero Point, he goes rogue in the Chapter 2 Season 6 opening cinematic and works together with the Seven's Foundation to stabilize the Zero Point against the IO's wishes. As of Chapter 2 Season 7, he's still missing and it's implied IO is looking for him, though the loading screens for him, Mecha Cuddle Master, and Loki suggest he's just in hiding among the other Loopers.
- Though the story is downright Excuse Plot because of being de-emphasized, Chapter 5 implies he's a fugitive again, this time as a primary target of "The Society" that's trying to gain control over the Island in a third new universe after yet another Big Bang event. Not only does he carry his own wanted sign around, but his work with Hope and the loading screen art imply he's outright formed La Résistance to bring the fight to the Society in turn.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: In Chapter 2 Season 7's Imposters LTM, the players have tasks in the Sleeping Quarters, which are clearly meant to be Jonesy's quarters. Likewise, the lunch delivery task can send you to either the Sleeping Quarters or the Office, the latter also being Jonesy's. Since Agent Jones is no longer with the IO, it makes little sense in the story that you are canonically Jonesy, but the rooms are otherwise meant to serve as Continuity Cavalcade.
He Knows Too Much: The Imagined Order revokes him of his credentials towards the end of Chapter 2 Season 5 when he tries to learn more about the Seven, leading to him turning against them as it has become increasingly clear that they're willing to let the destabilizing Zero Point destroy all of reality.
Leitmotif: Since Chapter 2 Season 6, Agent Jones has an "official" tune that can be heard in both The End (Chapter 2) and Collision event, even more with the Wild lobby music disk.
Man Behind the Man: Jones was the player's first look into the Imagined Order as a whole, before we even found out their names.
Me's a Crowd: There are a lot of Jonesys running around the island. They are all "snapshots" of John Jones, basically temporal clones of him that are created every time he enters the Loop. Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point reveals in a single panel that at least some of the IO Guards are Jonesy snapshots as well. The Imposters LTM also shows that Jonesy's quarters contains some of his costumes from his other skins, explaining why his snapshots wear those. Season 3 has a lot of them as NPCs come together and form a village on the new Island map.
Promoted to Playable: He first appeared in Chapter 2 Season 2, but didn't become playable until Chapter 2 Season 6.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: In the days leading up to Chapter 2 Season 6, the Imagined Order strips him of credentials for looking into their suspicious activities too much, prompting him to deal with the Zero Point crisis himself in the opening cutscene of the new season.
Shout-Out: Concept artist Brandon Vuong says that each of Jonesy's styles are based on some of the various characters he's met by that time in Chapter 2 Season 5. From what we can tell, the people that inspired his looks are Daryl Dixon (the crossbow), Sarah Connor and the T-800 (the sunglasses), Ryu (the red headband, the karate gi, and karate belt), , and the Mandalorian (the mudhorn sigil).
Uncertain Doom: Given that it's Jonesy, it's unlikely that he bit it, but he's nowhere to be seen as of writing following Chapter 3, and given how Chapter 3 ended... Though by Fortnite 2023, it is revealed he survived...somehow...and could formerly have been found in Frenzy Fields. However, he disappeared alongside the time machine not too long afterwards.

Genō

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fortnitegeno.png

Voiced by: ???

Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 2 (NPC)

An elusive and mysterious figure said to be the leader of the Imagined Order.

The Dreaded: The Seven have been stated to fear him due to his power over the Zero Point.
The Ghost: Has been mentioned only twice; once in game, and once in the Batman: Foundation comic. Their only potential appearance was in a framed photo in Corny Complex, but it has not been confirmed if they are Genō or not. He finally appears at the end of the Collision Event when the Zero Point focuses on his location.
Orcus on His Throne: He mainly resides in "The Realm" and drafts the IO's plans such as the Collider leaving the gruntwork to Slone and Gunnar.
Sinister Silhouettes: His first in-game appearance shows him completely shrouded in shadow aside from his glowing red eyes.

Dr. Slone

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6c1b41b7_4031_4b7e_8445_f04479c2449e.png

//REDACTED//

Voiced by: Mara Junot
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 3 (opening cinematic; voice only), Chapter 2 Season 5 (opening cinematic; voice only), Chapter 2 Season 6 (quest giver), Chapter 2 Season 7, Chapter 2 Season 8, Chapter 3 Season 1, Chapter 3 Season 2 (NPC)

Slone has declined all interview requests.

—Dr. Slone's Character Biography

A mysterious woman high in the ranks of the Imagined Order and the (former) boss of Agent Jones.

When aliens attack the Island in Chapter 2 Season 7, she leads the IO and the loopers in an allied resistance against the extraterrestial invaders.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, she could be found as a boss in the IO base at Corny Complex and dropped a Legendary Pulse Rifle.

In Chapter 2 Season 8, she and other I.O. Guards set up camp near Dirty Docks, and made their way to a bunker near Catty Corner. If defeated, Slone drops a Legendary Burst Assault Rifle.

Ambiguously Evil:
- She's a firm believer in the Imagined Order and wants to prevent people from escaping the Loop as she was ordered. And while at first glance, teaming up with the loopers to defend the Island against the alien invaders seems like a heroic thing, it may rather be because the aliens want the Zero Point. However, lore suggests Slone may have been indoctrinated by the Imagined Order as she was recruited at a young age.
- Likewise, at the end of the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic, it is revealed that she hired Deathstroke to hook up the IO's Device to Zero Point while it was set to the DC's reality, allowing Lex Luthor and the Batman Who Laughs access to the Island. In exchange for the supervillains fulfilling their end of the bargain, Dr. Slone has a rift appear over Metropolis, presumably to get rid of Superman for Luthor, explaining why Superman is in the following season, Chapter 2 Season 7.
- At the end of chapter 2 she orders Jonesy's execution, removing any ambiguity.
Big Bad: Is very much this for Chapter 3, Season 2, leading a flat out takeover of the island.
The Chessmaster: The end of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point reveals that she, along with Lex Luthor and the Batman Who Laughs, were responsible for the events of the comic. Slone made a deal with the supervillains to have Deathstroke take her reality-traveling Device, and expect Batman to break out of the Loop and deduce how to hook it up to different realities via the IO base's access to the Zero Point. Once Batman has returned home (indicated when the rift in Gotham City closes), this means the superheroes can't further interfere, and now the supervillains and the IO have free access between the DC reality and the Island.
Child Prodigy: In-game pictures and her loading screen show that she was in college or teaching college classes when she was just a kid. Another picture shows she looked rather young when she was presumably hired by the Imagined Order.
A Day in the Limelight: With Jonesy missing as of the beginning of Chapter 2 Season 6, she takes his place in the narrative in Chapter 2 Season 7.
Death by Looking Up: Her defeat at the end of Chapter 3: Season 2, at the hands of the Mecha Team Leader's giant... well, hand.
Early-Bird Cameo: In one of the final Foreshadowing quests in Chapter 2 Season 6 leading up to Chapter 2 Season 7, she requests that you destroy the mysterious TV sets that are catching signals from the aliens as unauthorized signals must be destroyed, but her icon only shows her as a silhouette.
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her loading screen and her silhouetted quest icon depict her with large ringed earrings.
Dragon-in-Chief: While Genō is the leader of the Imagined Order, Slone plays a more active role in leading the Imagined Order and serves as the more direct antagonist of the latter half of Chapter 2.
Failed a Spot Check: Her quests indicate that she really does think Human Bill is a human.
I Did What I Had to Do: During Operation: Sky Fire, when it is discovered that the Mothership is carrying Kevin the Cube, she tells the Loopers that no help is coming to save them, as she can't risk the Cube returning to the Island with them.
Meaningful Name:
- Slone rhymes with "clone".
- Slone is a name of Gaelic origin that means "warrior".
Me's a Crowd: As a boss, she can duplicate herself into multiple clones, who can easily overwhelm you along with her IO Guards if you're not careful.
Not Quite Dead: Returns, alive, in Chapter 4: Season 3, having survived her tank being crushed by Paradigm.
Promoted to Playable: Since Chapter 2 Season 2, she was the Voice with an Internet Connection, but become playable in Chapter 2 Season 7.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once the bombs in the Mothership were armed, Slone refuses to pull out the Looper so as not to risk Kevin escaping with them. Fortunately, the loopers are able to escape thanks to a "rebooted" blue cube.

Gunnar

Decorated and feared enforcer of the Imagined Order's command.

Voiced by: ???

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 8 (The End cinematic event), Chapter 3 Season 1, Chapter 3 Season 2 (NPC)

The Imagined Order's highest-ranking enforcer can terrify his enemies with just a look. He is very serious about his surprisingly large chainsaw collection.

—Gunnar's Character Biography

Chainsaw Good: Gains this aesthetic in Chapter 3, season 2, gaining chainsaw gloves for his harvesting tool, a surfing-type glider with chainsaws on it, and a back bling made of buzzsaws attached to an engine. He is also noted to have a collection of chainsaws he's very serious about.
The Brute: He's one of Dr. Slone's top enforcers.
Killed Off for Real: Fell into the Zero Point at the end of Chapter 3, Season 2, a process said to be fatal.
- Subverted with The Marvel: Zero War comic, as its confirmed it was actually Geno that fell in. Gunnar was simply a placeholder.

The Seven

In General

"Our goal is to stop The Order, liberate The Zero Point, and destroy The Loop."

The Seven are the seven sentient beings who are sworn to protect The Zero Point at any costs. They were the one who started the Fortnite: Battle Royale storyline back in Season 3. What is known about them is that their main goal is to stop the Imagined Order, liberate The Zero Point, and destroy The Loop. Their armors are all air-tight, making them immune to the Loop's memory resets. They are also knowledgeable about The Omniverse, Rift, and The Cube.

The group is composed of: The Visitor, The Paradigm, The Scientist, The Foundation, The Origin, The Imagined and The Order.

Guardian of the Multiverse: Played straight and even enforced with the comics and seasons continue: Their main goal is to stabilize reality and avoid the total destruction of the Omniverse at the hands of the Imagined Order.
Hand Blast: All of the main seven display the power to shoot powerful energy beams from their hands.
Non-Indicative Name: Despite their name, it seems like their was never only seven members of the organization. While seven leaders are seen, a set of disposable henchmen are also guarding all of their outposts and bases.
Permanently Missable Content: All of them save for the Order and the first version of the Paradigm were included in Battle Passes, making them inaccessible to play as for any players newer than their respective season. On top of this, the Visitor and Scientist were secret skins, making additional quests necessary to do on top of purchasing the battle pass to unlock them.
Scarred Equipment: The Visitor, the Scientist, and the Foundation's armors all have noticeable wear and tear across them.
Theme Naming: Among the rank and file minor members of the Seven, the two we see named are Sven and Svenja, both named after the word "Seven".
Uncertain Doom: As of Chapter 4, they seem to have been wiped out, sans AMIE. The Imagined fell into the Zero Point (which resulted in her shattering into millions of pieces), The Foundation, The Order, The Origin, The Visitor, and The Scientist all got turned into chrome, and The Paradigm was in the dead center of the newly formed island when all the pieces of it mashed together. Worth noting, however, that we Never Found the Body for The Paradigm, but things overall look bleak.
- Subverted with The Scientist. Chapter 4 Season 1 confirms he is alive, but captured and being tortured by The Last Reality. The rest are still unknown, however things still look bleak.

The Visitor

Intentions unknown.

Voiced by: ???

Appearances: Season 4, Chapter 2 Season 8, Chapter 3 Season 1, Chapter 3 Season 2.

An explorer and navigational expert, here to help chart the best course of action for the Seven. These days he's more of the strong, silent type...

— The Visitor's Character Biography

The Seven's navigator, and the first member to arrive on the Island.

Bold Explorer: Takes on this role for the Seven, being the first to jump in alone to unknown territory and report back on the conditions. He also establishes a rift large enough for all Seven to come through within their own asteroids.
The Bus Came Back: Swoops in with the Scientist to help the Loopers at the end of Chapter 2, over three years since his last in-person appearance in an unlockable loading screen.
Early-Bird Cameo: His first appearance served as one to the entire Seven, as his mysterious mission was introduced long before his organization entered the narrative properly years later.
The Faceless: He and the Scientist are the only two members of the Seven whose face we never see beneath their mask.
Mellow Fellow: Feels the Seven are bogged down by their constant infighting and petty grievances with each other. He is willing to tell the Foundation, his own boss, and the Imagined plainly to their faces they need to make up with the members they have a grudge against (the Paradigm and Origin, respectively) or risk falling apart because of it.
The Quiet One: Easily the least talkative among the Seven, never being in charge of giving out missions during a season and saying only what is necessary even to his teammates as an NPC. Unlike the Origin and Scientist, he never even speaks up or vocalizes at all when he is Chromed, only serenely melting away in silence.
The Rest Shall Pass: During the live event of Chapter 2, Season 8, he stays behind outside of the bunker and continues to fight off the encroaching horde of Cube Monsters as the Scientist and the Loopers enter to rendezvous with the Foundation.
Retirony: With the Seven's mission complete after the climactic battle against IO and peace all but restored, he openly talks about finally settling down throughout Chapter 3, Season 3. The start of the next season sees him absorbed into the Chrome before he gets the chance.

The Paradigm

Her duty defies reality.

^{Click here to see her first armor:}

Voiced by: Brie Larson

Appearances: Season X (skin), Chapter 3 Season 2, Chapter 3 Season 4

A renowned pilot and a renegade member of the Seven.

Ace Pilot: Noted to be an incredible pilot and the best among the Seven. She is the only one the Scientist puts his faith in to be able to pilot the revamped mech against IO, and we see her in action during the Collision event and with the Looper's help she curb stomps the IO's forces once and for all.
Ambiguous Situation: Her armor resembles Singularity's and her helmet resembles Rox's. However, there is currently no other known connection that she has with them.
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: When she first appeared, her armor was all but a female carbon copy of the Visitor. When she was reintroduced in the battle pass, her armor was changed drastically, looking both sleeker and more unique.
Enemy Mine: Worked with the IO to pilot the mech against the Devourer, even though the Seven were already their enemies at the time.
The Exile: Something happened that made The Foundation lose their trust of her, forcing her out of the Seven for a time. Part of the plot of Chapter 3 is trying to bring her back and convince Foundation to accept her again.
Ink-Suit Actor: Under the armour, she looks exactly like Brie Larson.
Sole Survivor: Following the Chrome's attack on the Island, all other members of the Seven are absorbed into it except for her and the Imagined, who died previously fighting her father. She is left the only one of the main Seven remaining to fight against the Chrome.
Uncertain Doom: Her last appearance is during the Fracture event, looking on as her device begins to pull pieces from all realities to construct a new island, including a chunk she is standing on. Whether she survives the process is left up in the air.

The Scientist

His mission is unknown.

Voiced by: Joel McHale

Appearances: Season X, Chapter 2 Season 8, Chapter 3 Season 1, Chapter 3 Season 2.

It's hard to say what people admire most about the Scientist: his brilliant engineer's mind, his dashing good looks, or how skillfully he writes his own bios.

— The Scientist's Character Biography

The tech expert of the Seven.

…But He Sounds Handsome: Freely admits he writes his own bios, which basically brag how awesome he is.
Deadpan Snarker: Which is to be expected when you get Joel McHale in the role of the tech guy in a heist movie.
"It's right up here, and I will give you a water break soon!"
Everyone Has Standards: He is creeped out repeatedly by AMIE's open obsession with him and bizarre line of thinking, and notes he should check her programming to try and fix the unseemly quirks of her personality.
Face Death with Dignity: As he begins to be absorbed by the Chrome, he remains calm and simply tells the other members in the room they have a problem as he melts away.
The Faceless: He and the Visitor are the two members of the Seven whose face we never see outside of their opaque helmets, leaving his true appearance a mystery.
Genius Bruiser: Despite being utilized more for his mind by the Seven he is also physically the largest member of the team, being inhumanly large and muscular. He shows off some combat ability as well when he fights off Sideways Monsters with the Visitor during The End event.
Mission Control: Serves this role for Chapter 3 Season 1's Season Quests.
The Smart Guy: As his title already implies, he fills this role for the Seven. He leads their research efforts into the inner workings of the Zero Point and its resulting phenomena, and most of the leg work the Looper does for him is getting readings for him to use for research.

The Foundation

His mission is Everything. Leader of The Seven.

Voiced by: Dwayne Johnson

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6 ("Zero Crisis Finale" opening cinematic), Chapter 2 Season 7 (opening cinematic), Chapter 2 Season 8 (opening cinematic and The End event), Chapter 3 Season 1, Chapter 3 Season 2.

Defender of Reality. Protector of the Island. Leader of The Seven.

— The Foundation's Character Biography

The leader of the Seven. He was first summoned to the Island by Agent Jones to help him reseal the Zero Point which caused him to become imprisoned by it. Later in season 7 he was launched into the DC universe thanks to the alien's mothership death ray. Now after rescuing the island once again against the Last Reality, the Foundation is now ready to defend reality once again versus the Imagined Order.

Accuser of the Brethren: Openly distrusts the Paradigm for a time upon her return to the Seven, and it takes the better part of a season for him to believe she is fully on their side and willing to help in their efforts to save reality.
Ambiguous Situation: At the beginning of Chapter 2 Season 7, after the aliens blow up the Spire (which he was stuck inside of since the start of Chapter 2 Season 6), his body is shown falling into the ocean. It was unknown if he was dead or unconscious until the Batman: Foundation cross-over comic revealed that he had landed in Gotham Harbor.
Big Good: Appears to be this, along with the rest of the Seven, leading the forces opposing the Imagined Order.
Big Damn Heroes: Shows up at the end of chapter 2, just before Agent Jones is almost terminated by Doctor Slone.
Enemy Mine: When Agent Jones summons him, the Foundation initially attempts to attack him, presumably for being a (former) IO member. When Jonesy explains he can help him get to Genō and the Sisters as well as pointing out they need to work together to stabilize the Zero Point, the Foundation agrees to work together with him.

Genius Bruiser: He's responsible for flipping the island while dropping IO mooks barehanded at the end of chapter 2.

The Origin

His reality lives on. One of the Seven.

Voiced by: Rahul Kohli

Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 2

The Seven's field general and war tactician has a complicated past littered with betrayal. It may take time for him to warm up to you...

— The Origin's Character Biography

The former Cube King, now working as the field general and tactician of the Seven.

Accuser of the Brethren: He is even more vocally untrusting of the Paradigm than the Foundation, actively arguing against the Scientist and Imagined's attempts to contact her. It takes her intel spurring the rest of the Seven into action until he finally is willing to trust her, and even then only begrudgingly. He comes around in the peacetime following the Seven's victory and actively apologizes for his short-sightedness.
Character Development: He starts out as an overly rigid and self-serious military leader unwilling to hear out his own teammates during wartime. He changes his mindset throughout the season and gradually warms up to listening to ideas thought up by the more idealistic Seven members and starts collaborating with them to succeed.
Defector from Decadence: The Cube King. Chose to walk away from his empire to protect other realities from the Queen and her forces.
Expository Theme Tune: Origin's Anthem, which pretty much summarizes Origin's, well, origin and motivations in a rather catchy rap.
Face Death with Dignity: His last act as he is being absorbed into the Chrome is to order the Paradigm to escape instead of trying to fruitlessly save him, remaining composed until the end.
No Place for a Warrior: After spending a significant amount of time fighting against the IO and needing to micromanage the Seven's war effort, his character bio mentions he is unsure what to do during the peace and celebration that comes after. He simply maintains his patrols while the other Seven members try to get him to relax.
Not So Stoic: He attempts to remain serious and composed at all times, as befitting a general in the midst of a war. Even his disposition falters and he is audibly gobsmacked when he sees one of the Seven's official "projects" is teaching Peely the giant banana how to drive a car.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The calm, calculating blue to The Imagined's fierce, instinctual red, complete with color coding (Origin's default armor color is blue).
The Strategist: Comes up with plans for the Seven's battles.
Token Non-Human: While the Visitor and Scientist are unconfirmed, the Origin is the only member of the Seven to be confirmed non-human, instead being an unnamed species of Humanoid Alien.

The Imagined

Her past is the key to our future. One of The Seven.

Voiced by: Cherami Leigh

Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 2

The Imagined may be a member of the Seven, but does things her way, on her schedule, with or without the Origin's permission. You'll help her, right?

— The Imagined's Character Biography

One of "the Sisters", twin members of the Seven. Formerly an IO operative.

Designer Babies: Her father designed her to be without flaw before birth through genetic modification, making her and her sister an Instant Expert at most things and immortal.
Killed Off for Real: She fell into the Zero Point at the end of Chapter 3 Season 2, shattering her into millions of pieces across the multiverse.
Only Sane Woman: Believes herself to be this, thinking that the team should abandon their mistrust of the Paradigm, as they need all the help they can get against IO.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The fierce, instinctual red to The Origin's calm, calculating blue, complete with color coding (Imagined's default armor color is red). They do NOT get along.
Sibling Team: She and her sister the Order fight together on the Seven.
Taking You with Me: As they fight above the Zero Point, her father intends to spare her and escape to fight another day. She instead destroys the platform they are fighting on and willing lets go of her sister's hand to ensure she and Geno are scattered across the Omniverse together.
You Have Failed Me: Geno, her father, had her and her sister enter the Zero Point as a test of their abilities, with him expecting them to be the first to ever escape the endless Loop. When Snapshots of them made it out first, he accepted the Snapshots as superior to his original children and left them stranded, where they remained until they joined the Seven.

The Order

Her honor will lead us to victory. One of The Seven.

Voiced by: ???

Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 2 (skin)

One of "the Sisters", twin members of the Seven. Formerly an IO operative.

Code of Honour: By her in-game description, the Order has a great sense of duty and loyalty.
Designer Babies: Her father designed her to be without flaw before birth through genetic modification, making her and her sister an Instant Expert at most things and immortal.
Killed Offscreen: Like with the Foundation, she was absorbed by the Chrome offscreen, only confirmed after the fact by the Paradigm and AMIE.
Out of Focus: By far the least important member of the Seven, with her only appearance being at her sister's side in the comics. In-game, she never appears on the map or in any events related to the Seven, the other members barely make mention of her in favor of her sister, and she is Killed Offscreen. She is also the only member of the Seven to never be in a Battle Pass, instead rotating regularly through the shop.^note
Stealth Expert: Manages to infiltrate one of the IO's bases without anyone noticing and eavesdrop on the doomsday device plans.
Sibling Team: Her twin sister, The Imagined and her are both part of The Seven.
You Have Failed Me: Geno, her father, had her and her sister enter the Zero Point as a test of their abilities, with him expecting them to be the first to ever escape the endless Loop. When Snapshots of them made it out first, he accepted the Snapshots as superior to his original children and left them stranded, where they remained until they joined the Seven.

AMIE

Voiced by: Erica Lindbeck

Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 3, Chapter 3 Season 4

An Artificial Intelligence created by The Scientist to help study the Zero Point. She resides in the Looper's "phone" and turns out to have quite a lot of useful programs in her repertoire.

Cheerful A.I.: She is a perpetually cheerful and helpful AI, sometimes to a disturbing degree.
Chekhov's Gunman: She's introduced during Chapter 3 Season 3 with little fanfare as a jokey character for The Scientist to play off of. Then the chrome comes in and takes out The Seven, and AMIE becomes basically the only remnant of The Seven that the Looper has to turn to.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Shows signs of this towards the Scientist. She has trouble accepting the Looper and Jones as friends as a result of this, but she warms up to them eventually.
Cranial Processing Unit: When she takes over the body of the A.I.M. robot to search for the Scientist within the time stream, she does so by taping her consciousness in a black box onto its head.
Fun with Acronyms: Her "name" is an abbreviation of her full title: Artificial Machine Intelligence Engine.
Sole Survivor: Alongside the Looper, she's the only member of the Seven still confirmed to be alive (well, as much as an Artificial Intelligence inside your phone can be alive, at any rate) at the start of Chapter 4.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: She openly does not like Jones and snips at him constantly, but is still willing to work with him after the dissolution of the Seven for the chance of finding the Scientist.
Token Robot: The only AI on the side of the Seven.
Undying Loyalty: Her loyalties lie with the Scientist alone. Everything she does is in hopes of gaining his approval, and when he is absorbed into the Chrome, she leaves the current island in the hands of Jones and the Looper to enter a rift gate in search of him.

The Last Reality

In General

"You thought you saved your little reality; all you did was prepare it for us."

Appearances: Chapter 1 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 6 (Early-Bird Cameo), Chapter 2 Season 7

An alien armada fighting for control of the Zero Point.

They served as the main antagonists of Chapter 2 Season 7 and Chapter 2 Season 8, which involved the invasion of the island.

Ambiguous Situation: In Mecha Cuddle Master's first loading screen, a banner with the Foundation's helmet symbol can be seen along with the other alien symbols in Hypertilt City. Whatever relationship that the aliens and the Foundation (and possibly the rest of the Seven) have beyond this is currently unknown.
Bizarre Taste in Food: They really enjoy tuna-flavored cat food, which is one way to expose them if they disguise themselves as humans.
The Empire: Implied by the Kymera soldier's quest text, as his commands sound like the aliens are rather experienced in subjugating the worlds they come across. Additionally, the armada is composed of various alien species.
The Greys: Bill's presence points to the Greys being a member of whatever alien alliance this is.
Early-Bird Cameo: The first loading screen for Mecha Cuddle Master's set shows the Kymera/alien armada's insignia, a cyclops squid-like creature on a sticker on Pepper's guitar case, Joey's Mlem sigil and pseudo-Japanese, the cow mascot from Guernsey's Big Heff/Heifer Slammer, the Greys' green head pattern that Sunny wears in her item set, and the red Grey head that Voyager Sunny and Pepper wear as badges or stickers.
Foreshadowing: The first Mecha Cuddle Master loading screen shows Hypertilt City with an alien pattern styled after the Greys.
Not So Above It All: As Chapter 2 Season 7 went on, Trespassers would disguise themselves as some NPCs… which started around the time the Summer 2021 event began, implying they wanted to join in on their welcoming party. Additionally, if you keep talking to them, they can't help but admit their love for tuna-flavored cat food upon being asked what their favorite food is.
Purple Is Powerful: Purple is once again an important color, with the alien technology (such as their Abductors) glowing purple.
Shout-Out:
- The Drone of Dread can be taken as a reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the War of the Worlds (2005) films.
- They like cat food, which is a reference to District 9, where the alien refugees like cat food and its effect on them is similar to drugs or alcohol.
- The piano scene led by Rick is not only a reference to the scene from Close Encounters, but also the Rick and Morty episode "Get Schwifty", which references the film.
Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: The aliens utilize tropes from various alien-focused media, no matter how silly or serious.

Villain with Good Publicity: When The Society came into power on Helios, they did do some good things, such as creating the island-wide train system for transportation, which blinded residents to their true intentions.

Montague

Heart of diamond. Nerves of steel.

Voiced by: Kieran Regan
Debut: Chapter 5 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 1, Chapter 5 Season 2

A professional thief and founder of The Society.

Crystalline Creature: Montague's "Brilliant Cut" skin variant is his entire body and clothes made out of diamonds.
Crystal Weapon: His pickaxe has a giant diamond at the end of it to serve as the "axe" bit.
Finger-Tenting: His default stance — both standing and sitting — is with his hands tented together in front of him. This is a sign of his arrogance as a master thief.
Gemstone Motifs: He's associated with diamonds, with his tagline even saying he has a heart of diamond. The amulet he stole gives him power over diamonds which, so far, includes turning himself into diamond and being able to summon and shape objects out of diamond.
Gentleman Thief: He built his fortune stealing from the rich and still continues his heists, one of which looted him the precious amulet he keeps around his neck.
Glowing Gem: While the diamond does not glow on Montague's boss skin, the player variant does haven the diamond emitting a soft blue glow.
How the Mighty Have Fallen: By Ch.5 Season 2, Montague's Society is just about finished, with one of the four leaders willingly MIA and the rest soundly defeated.
Hope: Go steal yourself a new life. Your little Society is done.
Karma Houdini Warranty: Conversed. He's gotten away with numerous thefts as well as everything he's done for the Society, but both Odyssey and Hope tell him that eventually, he will get caught and he will be punished. As of Ch.5 Season 2, The Society has been soundly defeated by the Pantheon.
Kubrick Stare: Although he's more cunning than deranged, he pulls this expression tilting his head down and to the right while looking up at others. It's especially noticeable when he's sitting using the "Diamond Throne" emote.
Man of Wealth and Taste: He's very rich and dresses very well.
Nerves of Steel: Being unflappable is his biggest trait, to the point having nerves of steel is part of his tagline. After a heist he was being chased by others and shot at, yet he remained calm and successfully got away.
Partial Transformation: The Conqueror Zeus loading screen shows Montague fighting Zeus (alongside other members of the Society) with Montague's right arm transformed into diamond, yet the rest of him remaining flesh, showing he can choose to transform either his entire body or select parts of it at will.
Power Crutch: Montague's powers come from the amulet he wears. If he were ever to lose the amulet, he would also lose his powers.
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: His philosophy in life is that wealth is power and so strove to make himself wealthy so that he could be powerful.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Montague is very similar to Midas, with their biggest difference being which material they have control over. Montague's concept art had him look even more similar to Midas, with a similar skin tone, hairstyle, and a more apparent gold color scheme.
Unorthodox Holstering: Montague wears a dual handgun holster on his upper back. This holster is so high the angle for drawing would be uncomfortable as his arms cannot bend in such a degree as to draw without hitting himself in the head with the pistol (and he'd be holding the gun upsidedown). It would be more comfortable to cross draw the handguns, but still an odd angle.

Valeria

Play with fire.

Voiced by: Alba Ponce de Leon
Debut: Chapter 5 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 1

Hope's older sister and the most notorious of The Society leaders. She is responsible for unleashing Pandora's Box and the ensuing fight with the Olympians.

Affectionate Nickname: Once their relationship is repaired a bit, Hope calls her "Valy".
Ambition Is Evil: It was ambition that drove Valeria to join The Society and uses them to further her own goals. This led to her orchastrating Peely's kidnapping, and her discovery and opening of Pandora's Box, which led to the current disaster on Helios with Zeus wanting to kill all mortals.
Animal Motif: Moths can be seen in several locations and objects of importance to Valeria. They often symbolize transformation and endings, and Valeria has transformed from a decent person to one fueled by ambition for power. They are additionally known for the simile "like a moth to a flame", an apt descriptor for Valeria's draw to research, as the object of her research (Pandora's Box) is quite dangerous, yet she is unable to resist her desire for knowlege and power.
Badass Bookworm: Has quite the private library built up, and she believes that knowledge is power so she does everything she can to read more. She also is highly skilled with a gun and created her own flasks of fire to throw at enemies.
Curtains Match the Window: Her entire fire aesthetic includes matching red hair and red eyes.
Disappointing Older Sibling: Hope is saddened that Valeria chose power over her relationship with her younger sister; to the point Hope has disowned her.
Disowned Sibling: Valeria's turn to The Society and current refusal to listen to Hope has led to Hope disowning her older sister. By Season 2 it seems Hope has thought better of disowning her sister and now actively worries about her.
Hope: When will you get it? I'm not your little sister anymore.
Encyclopaedic Knowledge: She's incredibly well-read to the point she knows just about everything about everything going on with the island and is now researching the recent events that led to The Looper and co. appearing on it.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite everything Valeria's done, Hope still loves her sister and worries about her well being.
Formerly Friendly Family: Valeria and Hope used to be close, until Valeria's ambition led her to join The Society. Hope's reaction was to form The Underground, a covert rebel group trying to put a stop to The Society.
Hair Flip: Her idle animation has her tossing her head to flip her hair out of her face.
Immune to Fire: Her Ruby Relic gives her fire powers, thereby also granting her immunity to fire and being burned.
Instant Costume Change: Her Everburn emote switches her outfit from the white pantsuit to a black dress (and vice versa) with little more than some fire and a spin.
Playing with Fire: Her Stygian Ruby gives her control over the element of fire, which she can use to create fire and is even able to engulf herself in flame. This power also makes her immune to fire damage.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: After joining The Society, her outfit changed from a white jumpsuit to a black and red dress with her hair dyed black with red highlights. The skin is called Burning Ambition, as it signifies Valeria's turn away from her family to pursue knowledge to gain more wealth and power.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the fiery red to Hope's cool blue, enforced by their character designs, with Valeria having fire powers and a main color of red and Hope having no powers and a main color of blue. Although Valeria is studious, she's less level-headed than her younger sister and quicker to temper.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After unleashing Pandora's Box upon Helios, Valeria decided to flee and go into hiding so she wouldn't face the wrath of the gods that were brought to the island.
Tiger by the Tail: Her initial desire for knowledge to become more powerful has led her to unleashing Pandora's Box on the world, which released Zeus who is now on a quest to kill all the mortals on Helios. She's currently in hiding, but others have told her that her actions will have consequences.
Using You All Along: She never really cared about The Society or its goals, she just worked with them to use their resources for her own personal projects; namely researching the Zero Point and Pandora's Box. When everything went to shit, Valeria abandoned The Society to protect herself.
The Villain Must Be Punished: Odyssey tells her as such. She's not going to bail Valeria out, she must suffer whatever consequences come to her for unleasing Pandora's Box upon Helios.
Wreathed in Flames: As the Valeria loading screen shows, Valeria's powers extend to being able to completely engulf herself in flames. Her clothes are also perpetually on fire.

Voiced by: Anjali Kunapaneni
Debut: Chapter 5 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 1, Chapter 5 Season 2

A professional fencer and owner of Fencing Fields, Nisha makes up one of the leaders of The Society.

Cannot Keep a Secret: Implied. In the Takedown missions, Hope's reason for going after Nisha is that she's the most likely one to let Peely's location slip compared to the other leaders, who know but are far less likely to tell.
Color-Coded Eyes: She has grey eyes, representing her personality as one who is honor-bound, believing herself to be morally superior to those around her.
Pity the Kidnapper: At one point she was the one holding Peely hostage, but his antics led to nothing but frustration for her.
Prim and Proper Bun: Nisha's long hair is gathered into a neat, low bun befitting her hobby as a fencing duelist.
Snobby Hobbies: Fencing is her hobby, to the point it's basically her entire personality. The other facet of her personality is protecting her family's legacy — their winemaking business and vineyard.

Ear Notch: His right ear has a large notch in it. How he got it, or any of his other scars, is unknown.

Funny Animal: Oscar is a bipedal tiger person that acts as any other human character would.

In General

Aphrodite

Lead with your heart.

Debut: Chapter 5 Season 2
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 2

The Goddess of the Heart. For eons she has defended mortals from the gods, but Zeus' current wrath is posing more difficult than she's handled before.

Antagonistic Offspring: Aphrodite disagrees with her father on wiping out humanity and thus sides against him.
Composite Character: She's regularly depicted with a pair of wings, despite the mythological Aphrodite lacking that trait. In the game, the wings are labeled as Icarus', and burn up like their mythological counterpart. She's also listed as the goddess of the heart, rather than her specific dominions of love, sex, and desire, combining her with the dominions of her children.
Defends Against Their Own Kind: Developed a reputation for fighting other gods so that the mortals can live and thrive.
Feather Motif: Aside from copping Icarus' wings for her own use, her Immortal style dress also has feather-like cut outs on the fabric, with the pattern similar to that of a peacock - known for their magnificent beauty.
Intrigued by Humanity: Compared to the other gods, Aphrodite loves the mortals. She's spent eons saving them from other gods and is attempting to help them against Zeus currently, to the point she's gotten a reputation for it. She also loves the little things humans have invented, being particularly fascinated with ice cream.
Pink Is Erotic: Goddess of love and the heart, her immortal style clads her in a pink dress with a very high cut in the front, and changes her skin and hair to be pink as well. She's also barefoot.
Tamer and Chaster: Mythological Aphrodite is the goddess of love, sex and desire but her Fortnite incarnation lists her role in the pantheon as the broad "Goddess of the Heart". Her characterization in the game also focuses less on eros and more on agape and philia.

Hades

Debut: Chapter 5 Season 2
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 2

She's going to fight that Zeus.
Artemis: Zeus... His plans for the mortals violate the rules of the hunt. I will stand with you against him.
Hunting the Most Dangerous Game:
- A promotional short show Artemis, alongside two of Cerberus' wolves, tracking a mortal. She shoots both his guns so that he becomes defenseless and then gives chase when he begins to run.

Distaff Counterpart: Rex and Tricera Ops (Ramirez) are paired up together in the Item Shop, and so are their dark counterparts.
Shout-Out: In his loading screen, he and another Rex Jonesy are searching for hiding loopers in a restaurant as a reference to various scenes in the Jurassic Park films.
Temporary Online Content: His loading screen was exclusive to the Chapter 4 Battle Pass.

Cabbie

First to the fare. First to the finishline.

Debut: Season 7

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

A Jonesy that is a taxi driver. In Chapter 2 Season 6, he could be found in Lazy Lake and could open a rift.

Gameplay and Story Integration: In Chapter 2 Season 6, he seems to be stranded in Lazy Lake, and the taxi next to him is out of gas. In later weeks, the taxi's gas tank is filled up.

Slurp Jonesy

Slurp up and ship out. Reactive: Head transforms with higher shields.

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

Guernsey

Manure-vure your way to a moo-ving victory.

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7

A Jonesy in a cow suit.

Ambiguous Situation: is he just another snapshot of Jonesy or is he Agent Jones in disguise?

Introduced in Season 7

The Ice King

Debut: Season 7
Appearances:

Big Bad: Of Chapter 1 Season 7. Responsible for creating the ice storm that covered the map in snow and bringing the frozen Husks into the field.
The Bus Came Back: Reappears in Marvel x Fortnite: Zero War #4, having retreated back to his castle following the Devouerer's defeat, having opted to freeze himself on the Moon, locking himself and his weaponry away.
An Ice Person: Can create massive snowstorms that blanket the island in ice.

Introduced in Season 9

Mecha Team Leader

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/94cde05b_43c6_4013_86d1_2da4bc5ba323.png

Some assembly required.

Debut: Season 9
Appearances: Season 9 ("The Final Showdown" live event), Chapter 3 Season 2 ("Collison" live event)

A giant mecha constructed throughout Season 9 to fight the Devourer at the end of the season, later brought back for the Collison event at the end of Chapter 3 Season 2 to destroy the Imagined Order's doomsday device while being piloted by the Paradigm with the Loopers being assigned to the mecha's weapons.

11th-Hour Superpower: After the Devourer rips one of its arms off, Mecha Team Leader uses the Zero Point to Megaton Punch it.
But Now I Must Go: For whatever reason, after defeating the Devourer, Mecha Team Leader then flies off with the Zero Point and disappears.
Combining Mecha: Played with. While Mecha Team Leader is designed with parts inspired by various characters, it's never indicated that these parts can separate and operate as their own mechs.
Cool Sword: While fighting the Devourer, it pulls out the statue of Singularity sitting in the pond of Neo Tilted City, which turns out to be the hilt of a giant sword.
Heroic Second Wind: Nearly gets destroyed by the Imagined Order's seemingly endless forces until it drinks an entire truckload of Slurp Juice delivered by Peely, which overcharges all of its weapons to the point where it's easily capable of mowing through the rest of their troops.
Humongous Mecha: A massive robot designed with parts of Rex Jonesy, Drift, Beef Boss, Tomatohead, and Cuddle Team Leader.
Megaton Punch: Powers up with the Zero Point and uses one to stun the Devourer long enough to retrieve its sword.
Shout-Out: While Combining Mecha is a common trope in mecha media, Mecha Team Leader seems to more closely resemble Voltron/GoLion and arguably Mega zord than any other combined mecha.

The Devourer

Kaiju: A gigantic monster, so big it filled up most of a mountain.

Singularity

Debut: Season 8 (Early-Bird Cameo), Season 9

A woman from the future who helped construct the advanced technology in Neo Tilted and the Mega Mall in Season 9. She is also heavily implied to be the pilot of Mecha Team Leader.

Ambiguous Situation:
- It's heavily implied that she's the mysterious pilot of Mecha Team Leader. Her styles all being based on the various characters that Mecha Team Leader is also based on — Rex, Drift, Beef Boss, Tomatohead, and Cuddle Team Leader.
- Singularity's armor resembles the Paradigm's armor, suggesting a connection between the two.
- Additionally, Cuddle Team Leader's new Mecha Cuddle Master suit bares (heh) a resemblance to Singularity's armor, further muddling things. It's possible this may have to do with Cuddle constructing the suit in Hypertilt City, which is likely a possible future of Neo Tilted City, where Singularity came from.
I Have Many Names: According to Word of God, Singularity is one of her names.
Meaningful Name: A singularity is the center of a black hole, which has infinite density. The Zero Point is considered a singularity (though it may or may not fit the definition of a singularity), and Singularity's description reads "the first and the last", as the Zero Point is responsible for the creation of reality and may well cause the destruction of reality.
Permanently Missable Content: She was the secret skin for the Season 9 Battle Pass.
Put on a Bus: After presumably disappearing into space with Mecha Team Leader at the end of Season 9. However, during Chapter 2 Season 7, Word of God revealed that Singularity will play a significant role within the story in the next couple of years.

Introduced in Chapter 2 Season 2

Midas (and Marigold)

Midas

All that glitters is yours.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marigold_default.png

Break the curse of the Golden Touch.

Voiced by: Matthew Mercer (Midas)
Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 6 (Marigold's skin), Chapter 2 Season 7 (Summer Midas's skin), Chapter 5 Season 2 (Ascendant Midas's skin)
Appearances:

Midas: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 4 (Ghost Midas), Chapter 2 Season 7 (loading screens; Summer Midas), Chapter 2 Season 8 ("The Burning Wolf" motion comic)
Marigold: Chapter 2 Season 7, Chapter 5 Season 2

Artist: kitsunexkitsu (Marigold)

An international crime lord and the leader of the GHOST agency in Chapter 2 Season 2. After activating the Device, Midas was seemingly killed by a Loot Shark when the Island flooded in Chapter 2 Season 3.

Meanwhile, Midas's female counterpart Marigold has teamed up with IO against the alien invaders in Chapter 2 Season 7.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, Marigold could be found in Lazy Lake.

Ambiguously Gay: The Rainbow Royale 2021 event for Pride depicts him in the promotional image. While he does have a daughter, it does not necessarily mean that he's straight.
Ambiguously Evil: He's an international crime lord, and for unknown reasons, he created the Doomsday Device that was supposed to drive out the storm but accidentally ended up flooding the Island. Midas Rex is also included in the Last Laugh bundle with two members of Batman's rogues gallery, the Joker and Poison Ivy.
Back from the Dead: Midas, following the events of Chapter 2 Season 2, was apparently killed via shark attack. He came back as a ghost during Fortnitemares 2020, commanding an army of spirits. He then came back, apparently living, in Chapter 5 Season 2.
Big Bad: Of Chapter 2 Season 2, although how evil he is, is questionable. He did create the device that flooded the map and attempted to drive back the storm, although his reasons for doing so remain mysterious.
The Bus Came Back: After being absent for so long, Midas makes a return in Chapter 5 Season 2 with a new Ascendant skin.
Depending on the Writer: Midas and Marigold have has varying levels of control over their golden touch in various Fortnite media.
Distaff Counterpart: Marigold, who seems to be a Midas from a reality where he's a woman.
Dropped a Bridge on Him: After accidentally flooding the Island using the Device at the end of Chapter 2 Season 2, the Chapter 2 Season 3 cinematic trailer opens with him getting run over by a Loot Shark. He's likely fine due to the Loop, although this seems to have created an undead snapshot of him in Chapter 2 Season 4.
Foreshadowing: Prior to the Summer 2021 event, in Chapter 2 Season 7, if you spoke to Marigold as Midas or Jules, she would vaguely tell you that the plan is going to go into action soon and to stick to it, likely referring to their summer skins in which they would be infiltrating the alien supporters in the event and one of her quests is helping the infiltrators come up with their covers.
Insistent Terminology: It's implied GHOST is allied with the IO. However, in Marigold's words, while she (and Midas) don't always support the IO, she makes sure they always support her.
Meaningful Name: He's named after King Midas, a king in Greek mythology who after helping Dionysus, asked for the power to turn whatever he touched into gold in return.
- In later versions of the story, he came to regret his power when he touched his daughter and she turned into solid gold, which is referenced with the later introduction of Jules, Midas's daughter.
- King Midas began to realize his power wasn't all that great when he discovered that he couldn't eat food without it turning into gold. Summer Midas's loading screen shows him being upset about not being able to eat ice cream due to his golden touch.
- Dionysus lifted King Midas's power by having him wash it away in the river Pactolus, which may be referenced in the game with Midas being responsible for the Island's flooding in Chapter 2 Season 3.
- In some versions, Marigold is the name of King Midas's daughter.
Midas Touch: Implied via his name, in that every weapon and vehicle he uses turns to solid gold. He is shown petting Meowscles in the intro to Chapter 2 Season 2 and pressing a button without the device changing, so it's implied that he has some control over it. However, Summer Midas's loading screen shows him being irritated as he throws away another ice cream cone that apparently turned gold against his will.
Mr. Fanservice: The Summer 2021 event released a skin of a shirtless Midas in swimwear.
Older Than They Look: Midas and Marigold look rather young, but Midas's daughter Jules seems to be in her twenties or early thirties.
Pun: As the leader of the organization GHOST, the Halloween 2020 event has him literally become a ghost and the leader of an army of ghosts.
The Queenpin: Marigold, as Midas's Distaff Counterpart, evokes this, with her quests to the player being about needing them to be her getaway driver. She also seems to be arranging something with Midas and Jules in Chapter 2 Season 7.
Resurrection Revenge: The entire theme of his return during the Fortnitemares 2020. He wants to get revenge for his death.
Rugged Scar: They both have a large scar from something on the right side of their face going through their eye. This has left them blind in that eye.
Unexplained Recovery: Despite Fortnitemares 2020 being about Midas returning as a ghost, the Summer 2021 event in Chapter 2 Season 7 released a Summer Midas skin that shows him to be fine, unless that Midas or the undead Midas is a snapshot of him from another reality. Additionally, Marigold states in that season that Midas has mysteriously disappeared.

Brutus

Voiced by: Chris Edgerly
Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 7 (Summer Brutus)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 7 (Summer Brutus, temporary NPC), Chapter 5 Season 2

Demoted to Extra: Went from the boss of his own POI to an NPC in Dirty Docks.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: In the Summer 2021 event, he says he wants to take pictures to send to his mom.
Gatling Good: Brutus' preferred weapon is a massive, powerful minigun.
Meaningful Name: Like the Trope Namer of Et Tu, Brute?, he's a traitor, betraying GHOST for SHADOW.
The Mole: In the Summer 2021 event, he helps the aliens and the believers even though this goes against his work because he's on vacation.

Meowscles

Voiced by:
Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 7 (Toon Meowscles)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 3, Chapter 5 Season 2

A buff cat-man.

Ambiguously Gay: The Rainbow Royale 2021 and 2022 events for Pride depicts him in the promotional image. While he has a son, it does not necessarily mean that he's straight. Chapter 3 Season 4 seems to cut the ambiguity; he was seemingly in a relationship with the female Lynx, but after the break up he says that he's looking to date other "single cat dads". Unfortunately for him, he can only find apps for dating "single dads with cats".
Animal Gender-Bender: Has the coloring of a calico cat. Yet calicos are almost always female in real life.
Interspecies Romance: Dialogue peppered throughout Chapter 3 heavily implied he and Lynx were an item at one point, but broke up on less-than-amicable terms.
Punny Name: His name is a portmanteau of the words "meow" and "muscles" and he's an anthropomorphic cat with well-defined muscles.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He's a shirtless buff cat, though he does wear pants.

TNTina

Voiced by: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 6 ("Zero Crisis Finale" opening cinematic), Chapter 5 Season 2

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 2, Chapter 2 Season 7 (Loki's loading screen, Summer Skye's loading screen "Afternoon Quest")
Artist: nollobandz

A young adventurer and her cute floating companion. The duo were recruited by GHOST.

In Chapter 2 Season 2, she could be found as a boss at the Shark and dropped Skye's Assault Rifle and Grappler when defeated.

Bubblegum Popping: Skye is seen chewing and blowing bubblegum in the "Lost Levels" loading screen. Curiously enough, her hair is dirty blonde in this loading screen, so it could be concept art.
Cool Sword:
- She dual-wields two swords, the Epic Swords of Wonder.
- As Summer Skye, she wields the Epic Sword of Might (which is "only a little bit cursed") and the Cursed Eagleshield.
Early-Bird Cameo: Summer Skye first appeared in Loki's loading screen to foreshadow that she would be the next Fortnite Crew pack skin.
Official Fan-Submitted Content: Summer Skye's skin was a contest submission by nollobandz.
A Girl and Her X: A girl and her floaty friend.
Gamer Chick: Her room in the base has several video games and board games shown, and she's shown playing Jenga with Meowscles in her intro video.
Me's a Crowd: Summer Skye's loading screen, "Afternoon Quest", shows both Skye and Summer Skye hanging out together, indicating that one of them is a snapshot.
Permanently Missable Content: Skye and Ollie were only obtainable in the Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass, and Summer Skye was the August 2021 skin for Fortnite Crew members.
Pun:
- Skye's set is called "Quest Friends", a pun for "best friends".
- Summer Skye's set is called "Quest Summer Ever".
- Summer Skye's loading screen is called "Afternoon Quest", a pun for "afternoon rest".
Put on a Bus: Unlike the rest of the Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass characters, lore shows that she and Ollie are traveling the world, which is why there hasn't been more lore about them after their season until Chapter 2 Season 7.
Rummage Sale Reject: Summer Skye's clothes are all stylized after other characters; her left sleeve is Rapscallion, her right sleeve is Dark Rex, her shorts are Aura, her shoes and left glove are Cozy, her hat and hair color is Pinkie, her armor is Boxy, and her shirt is Meowscles. And of course, her hat is Ollie.

Introduced in Chapter 2 Season 3

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 3, Chapter 2 Season 5

Meowscles's son kitten who pilots a small mecha suit to walk around and fight.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, he could be found at Catty Corner again and could be challenged.

A Dog Named "Dog": A kit named Kit.
Ambiguously Absent Parent: We have no idea who Kit's mother is. Meowscles was heavily implied to have been in a relationship with Lynx, but, uh, she's probably not the mother? Probably? Hopefully not?
Animal Gender-Bender: Has the coloring of a calico cat. Yet calicos are almost always female in real life.
Child Prodigy: A young genius who built his own combat suit so he could follow in the footsteps of his father, Meowscles. Keep in mind he is still a small adorable kitten.
Cute Bookworm: Keep in mind, that suit he's wearing? He made it himself.
Cute Kitten: He's meant to be a kitty version of Meowscles.
More Dakka: His NPC version sells and uses SMGs rather than shotguns.
Rocket Jump: Defeating him gives you a grenade launcher that shoots Shockwave Grenades. Doesn't deal damage, but can be used for movement and knocking enemies away.
Shotguns Are Just Better: Uses a powerful charge shotgun as his primary weapon.
Uncanny Family Resemblance: Has the exact same face as his father, just on the body of a kitten instead of being built like a steamroller.

Jules

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 3, Chapter 2 Season 6 (Scrapknight Jules), Chapter 2 Season 7 (Beach Jules)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 3, Chapter 2 Season 6, Chapter 2 Season 7 (Beach Jules)
Artist: Brandon Vuong

The daughter of an international crime lord, and she refuses to live under her father's shadow, preferring to make a name for herself.

In Chapter 2 Season 3, she was a boss at the Authority and dropped Jules' Drum Gun, Jules' Glider Gun, and an Authority Keycard upon defeat.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, she could be found at Camp Cod.

Mafia Princess: Her father is Midas and she's no stranger to organizations with underhanded methods.
Meaningful Name: Jules is a Punny Name for "jewels".
Never a Self-Made Woman: As the daughter of Midas, Jules would like to avert this. Surprisingly for someone with her attitude, she still has a positive relationship with her father (and the genderflipped version of him from another universe), as she still works closely with him and seems to spend time with him.
The Reveal: If you talk to her as Midas, she will ask you, her father, what you want from her.

Introduced in Chapter 2 Season 6

Raz

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 6
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

Adventurer Archaeologist: A mage who wants to study the secrets and history of the Spire.
Brainwashed and Crazy: A later update in the Chapter 2 Season 6 storyline had Raz be corrupted by the Spire as a consequence of trying to study it, replacing the Spire Assassin as the boss there.
Life Drain: One of his abilities as a boss, and his deadliest, as it goes through your shield and has a long range.
Mage Marksman: He's a spellcaster, but he's as good with an AR as everyone else on the island.
Teleport Spam: As a boss, he refuses to sit still and let you damage him.

Introduced in Chapter 2 Season 7

Mari

One of the hosts of the pro-alien Hot Saucers radio show.

Secret-Keeper: She talks about how she was shocked to see a certain someone (likely Joey) unzip their flesh to reveal that they're an alien, but doesn't reveal who it is.
What Happened to the Mouse?: After Chapter 2 Season 7, she disappears from the story.

Introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1

Hope

Make some trouble. Change the world.

Debut: Chapter 5 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 1, Chapter 5 Season 2

The leader of The Underground, and Valeria's younger sister. She is somehow involved in a mysterious prophecy.

Abstract Apotheosis: With the opening of Pandora's Box, is seems Hope is becoming the virtue itself. In Ch.5 Season 1, Odyssey knew of Hope, as she has appeared in the Prophecy. The gods in Ch.5 Season 2 do not treat her like the other mortals, with Poseidon mentioning that she glows, Aphrodite hinting to Hope that she is something more than just herself, and Artemis calling Hope a hunter, rather than labelling her prey like the rest of the mortals. The Oracle quests also mention Hope several times, although it's impossible to know whether they're talking about the person, the concept, or both.
Animal Motifs: Cats. Her beanie is shaped into cat ears and there are a couple of cat designs on her clothes. Her backbling and glider are also cat themed.
Cannot Kill Their Loved Ones: Hope is all for taking down The Society, except for Valeria. Others have pointed out that Hope will be unable to fulfill her goal until she becomes willing to deal with her sister, as Valeria will not be convinced to abandon The Society.
Steelsight: You're never gonna take down The Society if you won't even take down your sister.
Starr Oakley: Don't be naive Hope. Valeria won't stop for anyone, even you.
I Warned You: Her Ch.5 Season 2 dialogue with Nisha and Oscar is her bascially telling them she warned them about The Society and not to join it, but they did it anyway and are suffering the consequences of being associated with Montague and Valeria.
Hope: Not going to say "I told you so", but...
Meaningful Name: Shares her name with the virtue and has comments with several characters noting her hopefulness to resolve things in a more peaceful way if possible. She believes Oscar can be turned back from The Society and hopes that she can talk her sister out of it as well, as Hope doesn't want to hurt her. Other characters are also noticing Hope and who she is as a person.
Pauper Patches: She does not ascribe to the wealthy lifestyle The Society strives for and her clothing reflects that. Her jacket, skirt, and socks have tape patches, her shirt is ripped, a piece of tape covers a crack in her glasses, the one stocking she wears is ripped up, and her beanie is ripped and has a patch in it as well.
It's Personal: Hope's main reason for fighting against The Society is because her sister, Valeria, is one of its leaders.
Rebel Leader: Formed and leads The Underground, a covert group opposing The Society.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The cool blue to Valeria's fiery red. Further symbolized in their appearances; with Hope being clad in blue and Valeria in red, Hope is the more level-headed of the two and more inclined to resolve things peacefully if possible whereas Valeria is quick to use her fire powers and more prone to picking a fight.
Useless Accessory: The headphones she wears have had the wires that would connect and power them ripped out, making them useless... but she still wears them over her ears as if they were functional.
Wrench Wench: The Underground Chic Hope background shows she's rather familiar with tools and is knowledgeable enough to modify guns. She also has her own makeshift workshop in one of the rooms at Rebel's Roost.

Odyssey

An ageless spirit of adventure.

Debut: Chapter 5 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 1

A mysterious traveler who appeared on Helios briefly to study the mosaic and warn The Looper of the danger that will soon infect the island.

Ambiguous Situation: She mysteriously appeared on Helios one day and it's unknown just who she is, as the only information she gives is that she's a traveler. Her interest in researching ancient artifacts and piecing together the mosaic that foretold the gods coming to Helios, in addition to her being called "ageless" point to the possibility of her being a god in disguise.
Disappointed by the Motive: One of her conversations mentions that she thought Valeria was a kindred spirit, but then learned that Valeria's ambition and desire for knowledge was to gain more power, not understanding.

Silas Hesk

Cold-blooded heir to a venomous dynasty.

Debut: Chapter 5 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 1

The heir to the elite Hesk family, Silas is the only elite to be opposing The Society, albeit subtly.

Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: The snake wears a little hat matching Silas and holds a pocket watch in its mouth.
Ambiguous Situation: His Suspiciously Specific Denial that the snake accompanying him is not possessing him combined with his Sssssnake Talk pulls attention towards wondering if Silas is possessed by a snake. While likely, there's not enough information to determine for certain that's the case and it doesn't explain why Silas would be in this situation to begin with.
Curtains Match the Windows: He has matching purple hair and eyes.
Mysterious Purple: Not much is known about him, he doesn't explain his motivations for helping the Underground, and his bio even directly states he's a mysterious character. Both his hair and eyes are purple and he's highlighted in purple light.
Pride: He's very egotistical, mentioning at one point that the only arrogance he likes is his own. He also has a bit of a superiority complex, calling the Underground fools despite assisting them.
Snakes Are Sinister: Although he is fighting for the good guys, his Sssssnake Talk gives an uneasy feeling that something's not quite right with Silas. The snake he wears around his neck looks at the player and is referenced to be possessing Silas for unknown reasons.
Sssssnake Talk: As he's possibly possessed by a snake, most words conatining an 's' exagerate the letter for an elongated 's' sound.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: One of his interactions is to remark that the snake around his neck is definitely only a pet and totally not possessing Silas.

Introduced in Chapter 5 Season 2

Medusa

Debut: Chapter 5 Season 2
Appearances: Chapter 5 Season 2

A warrior Gorgon who has come to help in defending against Zeus.

Deadly Gaze: Implied. As a gorgon, her eyes can turn sinister looking to demonstrate she has the power to turn people to stone with her gaze. This is purely aesthetic in gameplay of course, making it an aversion.
Gorgeous Gorgon: Medusa is quite a looker, even when her eyes turn sinister looking.
Rage Against the Heavens: Medusa is established to have been opposing the Pantheon for sometime with the intent to protect those who were wronged by the gods.
Spared by the Adaptation: Her lore establishes that she was never beheaded by Perseus like in mythology and has instead been alive the whole time protecting mortals from the gods.

NPCs

Characters who appear as NPCs around the island, starting in Chapter 2 Season 5. They can upgrade your weapons for you, sell you items or materials, or give you quests to earn gold, give you bounties (have you target a specific player for elimination), sell you powerful weapons, be recruited to help you fight, or even be challenged to a battle.

NPCs introduced in Chapter 2 Season 5

Battle Pass

Lexa (and Orin)

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 5
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5
Artist: Brandon Vuong

A strange-looking android girl from Reality 982. Constructed by her father, a scientist for Y-Labs, she's one of the best hunters in all of reality.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, she resided in Hunter's Haven and sold the Storm Scout sniper rifle before a later update rotated it to Mave.

Animesque: Lexa was the first anime-style skin in the game, later followed by Orin and the R.E.M.Wakers skins.
Beware the Nice Ones: Her playable version comes with a rather sinister-looking mode change.
Dark Secret: Kondor suspects that she's hiding something, but this can only be theorized.
Developer's Foresight:
- If you wear the Orin skin when you go talk to Lexa, it will prompt special dialogue ("Brother? How'd you find me?").
- If you wear any Jonesy skin, she'll recognize him and ask what else do you want from her.
- If you talk to Kondor while wearing the Lexa skin, he'll comment that she's hiding something from everyone...
Distaff Counterpart: Orin, her male counterpart and long-lost brother, whose skin can be purchased in the Item Shop.
I Will Find You: Orin's flavor text reads that he's been on the hunt for his long-lost sister. It's unclear if this is due to Lexa having been taken from their reality or if Y-Labs isn't all that great...
Meaningful Name: To Amazon's virtual assistant AI device, Alexa.
Non-Standard Character Design: Lexa's design and character are heavily inspired by anime; she's even shaded differently than the rest of the characters.
Shout-Out: To Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant AI device.

Reese

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 5
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5

An intergalactic beast hunter and one of the best hunters in all of reality.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, she could be found in the Dirty Docks and sold the Shadow Tracker suppressed pistol.

Dark and Troubled Past: She was an orphan and was trained to be a hunter by Cyprus Nell, a Galactic Ranger.
Parental Substitute: Cyprus Nell was her mentor in beast-hunting, and his flavor text describes him as the closest thing Reese has to a father.
A Rare Sentence: If you talk to her as a Peely skin, she'll remark that she's never hunted a banana before.

Menace (and Sica)

The current champion of the gladiator games and one of the best hunters in all of reality.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, he resided in the Colossal Colosseum and could be challenged.

Classical Mythology:
- His chestplate and glider depicts Medusa's head. Meanwhile, Sica's glider is Cerberus.
- The lion on Menace and Sica's backblings may also be a reference to the Nemean lion.
Distaff Counterpart: Sica, Menace's female counterpart and rival.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: He bears a resemblance to Andy Whitfield and Liam McIntyre, the actors of Spartacus in the television show, as well as a bit of Manu Bennett, who played Spartacus's ally Crixus.
Purple Is Powerful: His armor has purple details, his unlockable styles give him purple fire, and one of the superlevel styles is a purple Zero Point style. If you know your history, the color purple was seen as a status symbol and a symbol of power due to the dye's rarity back then, and it's also another reference to the Spartacus show, where the titular character wore purple not just as a symbol, but also as a reminder of the purple ribbon he had gifted to his missing and later killed wife.
The Rival: Sica is implied to be Menace's rival, as her flavor text describes her as the arena's next champion while Menace is the current champion.
Shout-Out: He resembles Spartacus, which has been acknowledged and approved of by the cast including Spartacus himself!

Mancake

An infamous bank robber from Reality 3258, also known as the Breakfast Bandit.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, he could be found in the Butter Barn and could be hired and sold the Night Hawk before it was rotated to Grimbles in later updates.

Anthropomorphic Food: He's a living stack of pancakes.
Continuity Nod: In the Kratos trailer, Mancake is terrified of Kratos going after him. In the Chapter 2 Season 6 opening cinematic, they fight.
Frothy Mugs of Water: His flavor text says that he's rumored to have a syrup habit.
I Call Her "Vera": His pickaxe is called Josie and he calls it a "her".
Image Song: "Butter Barn Hoedown" by Matt Daniel.
Punny Name: He's a pancake man. A mancake.
Red Baron: His set is called the Breakfast Bandit.
Shout-Out:
- One of his styles is called "The Cake With No Name".
- Butter Barn is partially meant to be a reference to Cracker Barrel, an American restaurant chain that serves Southern food.

Kondor

A mythical vengeful spirit from the futuristic world of Reality 42, his current host being a cyborg samurai.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, he could be found in Misty Meadows selling the Dragon's Breath shotgun and could also be challenged.

Cherry Blossoms: His flavor text says that he likes standing in the rain and monologuing about cherry blossoms, as a light joke about the melodrama of Japanese warrior characters.
Commonality Connection: He has some sort of interest in Lexa, presumably because they're both Japanese-based robotic hunters from futuristic realities.
Cyborg: One of his styles reveals that he's a cyborg beneath the helmet.
Revenge: His flavor text says that he can grant any wish for revenge, no matter how dark or terrible.
Samurai: His in-game files name him as "Future Samurai".

The Mandalorian

A famous bounty hunter from the stars that crash-landed onto the Island and is one of the best hunters in all of reality.

In Chapter 2 Season 5, he roamed around the crash site of the Razor Crest, the Colossal Colosseum, and later, Kit's Cantina, as a hostile NPC, and if defeated, dropped the Amban Sniper Rifle and the Mandalorian's Jetpack.

Guest Fighter: From the ridiculously successful Star Wars franchise, to promote the second season of his show.

Others

Bandolier

What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite Bandolette being his sister according to in-game lore, the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic where she's featured doesn't bring him up at all, even when it turns out she escaped the Loop and it ends with her returning to their reality.

Longshot

Cold Sniper: Definitely has this aesthetic, and is perched in a good sniper position outside of Misty Meadows to add to it.

Splode

Mad Bomber: He wears a bomb as a facemask and sells you a sniper rifle that shoots grenades.

Blaze

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 3
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 6

Gameplay and Story Integration: Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point reveals that Renegade Raider escaped the Loop and that the Loop creates snapshots of escaped Loopers in their place, which likely means Blaze was created by the Loop when Renegade Raider escaped.

Playing with Fire: Explicitly stated to have pyrotechnic abilities.

Remedy vs. Toxin

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 1 (skin), Chapter 2 Season 5 (NPC)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 6

She has an ALTER, Toxin, though she has yet to debut as an NPC.

Developer's Foresight: If you talk to her while wearing the Peely Bone or Oro skins (both skins are skeleton characters), she'll say that you look too far gone for her to save.
Hospital Hottie: Quite the attractive woman, and a damn good medic too.
The Medic: She does this as freelance work, has quests related to healing, and sells you medkits.

Big Chuggus

Debut:
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 6

A slurp experiment.

Expy: Appearance-wise and lorewise, of Bane. The Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic even features a cameo appearance of him invoking Bane.
Hulk Speak: CHUGGUS NO NEED LONG BIG WORDS.
Shout-Out:
- The Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic has a panel of Armored Batman Zero and Armored Catwoman working together with other Loopers who are similar to members of Batman's rogues gallery, with Big Chuggus in place of Bane.
- His name is a reference to the Big Chungus meme.

Kyle

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 6, Chapter 2 Season 7

Back from the Dead: After trying to raise alien parasites and getting killed in the process, a small tree will be found where he usually is, indicating that he grow back.
Irony: As a Plant Person representing nature, he sees the alien parasites as a part of that nature, ignoring that they're a product of the xenoforming that replaces and may even harm that nature. Additionally, him trying to raise the alien parasites gets him killed.
Logical Weakness: It's implied that if the alien parasites didn't kill him, it was the campfire that the Looper opened for them.
Noodle Incident: Rick Sanchez treats him like an old friend, for whatever reason.
Plant Person: He's a "scrappy little tree," according to his in-game bio.

NPCs introduced in Chapter 2 Season 6

Battle Pass

Lara Croft

The legendary Tomb Raider.

She can be found roaming in the Stealthy Stronghold and she sells the Grappler Bow.

Cosmetic Award: If you steal the Artifact (or, the Legendary-ranked Assault Rifle) from Orelia on Isla Nublada and manage to escape with it (killing Orelia is optional), you're awarded the Gold Anniversary skin, which is automatically donned upon completion.
Guest Fighter: From the Tomb Raider video game franchise.
Mythology Gag: Her default style is based on her depiction in the reboot series, while her 25th Anniversary style and Classic style are based on her famous white/green shirt outfit from older games. Her Classic style also renders her in an artstyle similar to the earlier games.

Rebirth Raven

A founding member of the Teen Titans, who was investigating a disturbance in the astral plane when a rift opened up and brought her to the island in Chapter 2 Season 6.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, she can be found in her home on a cliff overlooking the bay near Sweaty Sands and Coral Castle, close to the gnome museum. She sells the Unstable Bow and can open rifts.

I Will Find You: She feels as if she's supposed to be looking for someone green...
Mythology Gag:
- Her Rachel Roth skin is based on Gabriel Picolo's depiction of Raven in the Teen Titans (Kami Garcia) graphic novels and his fanarts before becoming an official DC artist. Picolo's depiction of the Teen Titans is based specifically on the Teen Titans 2003 cartoon.
- Additionally, one of her character-specific emotes is "Azarath Metroid Zinthos!", her catchphrase from the 2003 cartoon.
- Gabriel Picolo ships Raven and Beast Boy together, and Kami Garcia's Teen Titans graphic novels also pair them (in fact, the most recent entry at the time of their debuts in Fortnite was Beast Boy Loves Raven), hence their Ship Tease here.
- When you first talk to her, she'll say that they've never met... not in this timeline, anyways, referencing the multiple timelines in the DC multiverse.
One-Steve Limit: Another skin is called Raven.
Ship Tease: With Beast Boy. The two are shown holding hands in the BBRae loading screen, and the minicomics leading up to the Beast Boy set announcement also emphasized the two being rather close and inseparable.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: The promo art leading up to the announcement of Beast Boy's set, the Beast Boy/Raven loading screen and spray, and the Beast Boy/Raven dancing emote promo shows that she has a softer side that is so far only seen with Beast Boy, while she's shown to be a grump to everyone else.

Tarana

A Bone Punk warrior born with the ability to see the island's past upon touching ancient artifacts, something her village isn't sure is a blessing or a curse. She mistrusts Raz for his investigations on the Spire, believing that he's tampering with a danger he doesn't understand.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, she can be found in the Boney Burbs.

Ambiguously Related: With Gia. Both are in the same set (Bonk Punk), both share a resemblance (namely, both are blue-haired), and according to her character description, Gia wants to lead their tribe, suggesting that Tarana leads their tribe due to her powers.
Properly Paranoid: She suspects that Raz's attempts to study the Spire will lead to danger, and she's right — it corrupts him.
Psychometry: She can see visions of the past by touching artifacts, and some of the Spire Quests involve you retrieving artifacts from the Spire and Boney Burbs.
The Rival: With Gia (who may or may not be her sister) over who should lead their tribe.
These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: She warns the Looper that doing anything with the Spire can only lead to trouble, and believes that Raz is a fool putting everyone in danger for trying to study it.

Cluck

The Eggsplosives Expert, a chick who has been roaming the galaxy for the Yolk of Destiny.

He can be found in a small settlement near the Primal Pond.

Carnivore Confusion: A variant. If you buy from him info on locations of animals, he'll reluctantly tell you, "if that's what you're into...". Being a chicken himself, hunting down animals like other chickens disturbs him.

Spire Assassin and Spire Guardians

Mysterious spire guardians at post on the various spires on the Island.

If one is defeated, she drops an Epic Primal Shotgun and an orb that can be taken to the main Spire for Spire Assassin's Boots. The Spire Assassin at the main Spire also dropped the Legendary Spiral Assassin's Primal Shotgun, though she was later replaced by Raz in later weeks.

Distaff Counterpart: The Spire Immortal is the male counterpart of the Spire Assassin.
Temporary Online Content: The Spire Assassin skin and set could only be obtained through the Chapter 2 Season 6 Battle Pass.

Others

Bandolette

Debut: Season 8
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

A former member of a commando squad with her brother Bandolier, now gone solo. She used to be partners with Tess.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, she could be found at the Flushed Building.

Call-Back: Her NPC description describes her as having gone solo now. Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, released throughout Chapter 2 Season 6, reveals that she broke out of the Loop and the events of the comic lead to her returning to her reality.
Developer's Foresight:
- She'll acknowledge you as her brother if you talk to her as Bandolier.
- If you talk to her as Tess, she won't be happy to see you.
Distaff Counterpart: To Bandolier, her brother. She even replaces him in the same area where he used to be found — the Flushed Building.
I Fight for the Strongest Side!: When it's revealed that Deathstroke is The Mole for an unknown party with interest in the rifts and that using the Zero Point to return to their respective realities seems too complicated, she turns against Batman and the others because she figures this means Deathstroke and his employers are her best chance at returning to her home. When Batman comes up with a solution immediately after and Deathstroke is beaten, she sheepishly stands down.
We Used to Be Friends: Tess was her former partner.

Gutbomb

Debut: Season X
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

A Beef Boss from a dark future...

In Chapter 2 Season 6, he could be found at Durrr Burger, selling the Hop Rock Dualies and could be challenged.

Developer's Foresight:
- If you talk to Gutbomb as Hothouse, he'll recognize you as his friend. Aww.
- Talking to Gutbomb as regular Beef Boss or Tomatohead will cause him to mutter about how fresh you look...
Enemy Mine: The loading screen that comes bundled with Gutbomb and Hothouse's "The Leftovers" bundle depicts the two of them having a standoff together against the Cube Fiends taking over Retail Row in Season X. If you talk to him as Hothouse when he's an NPC, he'll recognize you as his friend. With that said... he'll still give you quests to vandalize the Pizza Pit or Pizza Pete's Food Truck while muttering about how pizza still sucks.
Fire-Forged Friends: After presumably defending their homes together in Season X, subsequent seasons of Gutbomb as an NPC will recognize Hothouse as a friend, though that won't stop him from requesting you to wreck the Pizza Pit and Pizza Pete's Food Truck.

Tess

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 6
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

A commando, assassin, and merc for hire. A top quality gun who prefers to keep it that way and holds a grudge against anyone who may risk it. She used to be partners with Bandolette, implying she was in the same commando squad as her.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, she could be found at Dirty Docks.

Developer's Foresight: If you talk to Bandolette as Tess, she'll greet you with contempt.
More Dakka: Her promo art depicts her dual-wielding SMGs.
Temporary Online Content: She's a Valentine's Day-exclusive.
We Used to Be Friends: She used to be partners with Bandolette.

Crustina

Debut: Season X
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

Distaff Counterpart: Tomatohead, her male counterpart.

The Mad Doctor

Shout-Out: He's meant to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Power Chord

Debut: Season 3
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6

Distaff Counterpart: Riot is her male counterpart.
Evil Counterpart: Dark Power Chord.

Cobb

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 6
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6, Chapter 2 Season 7 (opening cinematic)

An anthropomorphic corn cob man.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, he could be found at the restaurant in Risky Reels.

The Cameo: He can be seen in the opening cinematic of Chapter 2 Season 7, discovering crop circles with Hayseed and Calamity.
Developer's Foresight: If you talk to Farmer Steel as Cobb, he'll remark that he must be going crazy.
The Voiceless: His dialogue only describes him as staring.

Oro and Orelia

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2 (Oro's skin), Chapter 2 Season 6 (Orelia's skin)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6 (Orelia)

Two legendary spirits obsessed and dutybound to gold, with Orelia guarding a powerful golden artifact even in death.

In Chapter 2 Season 6, Orelia could be found on the newly risen Isla Nublada, guarding a Legendary Assault Rifle. If Loopers didn't pay tribute in exchange for it and chose to steal it instead, Orelia would turn hostile.

Ambiguous Situation: Their set is called Midas's Revenge and they're all gold-themed, but their relationship to Midas is unspecified.
Distaff Counterpart: Orelia is Oro's feminine counterpart.

NPCs introduced in Chapter 2 Season 7

Battle Pass

Rick Sanchez (and Morty Smith)

A misanthropic dimension-traveling scientist and his butter bot, whose purpose is to pass butter. Oh, and his grandson, who he turned into a hammer.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, he can be found at Defiant Dish and can open rifts.

Butt-Monkey: Like in the show, Morty is subject to this, not even being a playable skin but a hammer as a pickaxe, with the flat side being his face.
Guest Fighter: The titular characters of Rick and Morty.
Mythology Gag:
- In the Chapter 2 Season 7 trailer, he participates in a scene parodying the Close Encounters of the Third Kind piano scene, which he's also done in "Get Schwifty" when the Cromulons threatened to destroy Earth if the Earthlings couldn't perform for them well.
- He's the only NPC in Chapter 2 Season 7 outside of Bunker Jonesy who can open rifts, referencing how he has a gadget to open portals to other dimensions.
- The "Rick Dance" that Rick performs following Abrodolph Lincler's Senseless Sacrifice in the episode "Ricksy Business" is an emote.
- In the background of Rick's loading screen, an ad for "Real Fake Doors" can be seen in the background, referencing a gag from "Rixty Minutes".
- The Hammerhead Morty that Rick uses as a pickaxe was first seen in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind".
- The Butter Bot is a one-off bit from "Something Ricked This Way Comes". Welcome to the club, pal.

Guggimon (and Janky)

"Name's Guggimon, I dress sharp, and I keep my axes sharp too."

An axe-wielding rabbit who is a violent "fashion horror artist" and a viral influencer.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, Guggimon can be found around the Lighthouse as a boss and sold the Night Hawk revolver.

Blood Knight: He's a hostile NPC and his dialogue is either about setting things on fire or using his axe.
Guest Fighter: Guggimon is a line of vinyl art figures, with Janky as his companion.
Pyromaniac: He gives quests about setting structures and players on fire.

Superman

In later weeks of Chapter 2 Season 7, Superman could be found in the house at the Orchard.

Clark Kenting: Referenced in the Chapter 2 Season 7 pre-promotional material, where the aliens' analysis of a pair of glasses said that wearing it makes you unrecognizable.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Like Batman, Catwoman, and the Marvel characters, Superman suffers from amnesia when he ends up in the Island (however, it's implied to be because the aliens mind-probed him), though with the help of the Looper, Beast Boy, and Armored Batman, he's able to get his mind back together.
Mythology Gag:
- The Shadow Superman style is based on Superman's black-and-silver suit, introduced when he was revived after his death in The Death of Superman storyline and used in various DC media ever since including adaptations of that storyline.
- The quest to fly through rings over Weeping Woods as Superman is a reference to the notorious Superman 64 video game, where a few of the missions had you fly through rings as Superman, which was extremely difficult to the game's poor control response.

Kymera

A species of aliens with widely varied appearances, and are members of the alien invasion.

In later weeks of Chapter 2 Season 7, a Kymera soldier could be found at Coral Castle.

Character Customization: With over 2000 possible combinations!
Developer's Foresight: In the Week 14 quests, Slone sends you to warn the NPCs about the Mothership crashing into the Island. Kymera isn't indicated on the map for this quest, though you can tell them and they'll thank you for betraying your boss.
Meaningful Name: The Chimaera is a creature in Greek mythology made of parts from different animals, befitting the customizable/widely varied appearance of the Kymera skin/species.

Sunny

Artist: Donald Mustard's daughter

A musician who is cynical in humanity's capability to do good but believes that the aliens come in peace and wants to leave with them.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, she can be found at Believer Beach.

Everybody Has Standards: One of her quests sends you to go kill an animal with an alien parasite, as she believes that doing that to the wildlife is too far, even as an alien supporter.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite being welcoming of the aliens, she'll still fight the alien Trespassers just like other non-hostile/friendly NPCs.
Humans Are Bastards: She believes that the humans can't be any better than aliens after all her time around them and she wants the aliens to take them with her so she can get away from humanity.
Image Song: "Sunny's Song" by ImagiNina, where Sunny sings a ska song about wanting to befriend and leave with the aliens.
More than Mind Control: Dr. Slone believes that Sunny and her supporters must be under some sort of mind control, as there's no way someone could naturally believe that the aliens are friendly.

Joey

Artist: Brandon Vuong

(alien), Adam Ford, Adam Wood (human)

An intergalactic alien fighter... who is actually an alien-in-disguise, infiltrating the Imagined Order to report back to her alien bosses.

At the beginning of Chapter 2 Season 7, he could be found at Dirty Docks, though temporarily moved to Believer Beach for the Summer 2021 event.

Ambiguous Gender: While "human" Joey looks male, "alien" Joey has feminine characteristics. Her artist Brandon Vuong refers to her as female and with she/her pronouns, however.
Ambiguous Situation: Is human Joey based on a real person or was he a cover created by the aliens?
Animal Lover: Human Joey has an emoji and tattoo of a wolf while Alien Joey has an alien wolf as an emoji and as a decal on her armor. The Meowscles Janky backbling also came with Alien Joey's Battle Star page, and Joey's weapons-of-choice are two Kittanas, which have an alternate style patterned after orange cats.
Body Horror: Downplayed. Joey unzips her human disguise and uses an alien substance in a can to recreate it, so it isn't a disguise made of flesh. Mari, however, didn't know about that second part.
Early-Bird Cameo: Joey's Mlem emoji and armor decal was first seen in the Mecha Cuddle Leader's loading screens.
Food as Bribe: In the Week 11 quests, Slone sends you to recruit Joey by preparing a gift of fish for her.
Gameplay and Story Integration:
- Joey at the alien welcoming party for Summer 2021 may seem a little suspicious, but we already know the IO has sent other people like Midas, Jules, Ruby, and Crystal to go undercover there, so it can be assumed Joey was also one of the undercover agents as well.
- In one of Dr. Slone's quest lines, she sends you to talk to NPCs to ask if they're aliens in disguise. The only NPC you can't talk to for this quest is Joey.
- A UFO, presumably Joey's, can be found hidden in the middle of the shipping crates at Dirty Docks. Additionally, you can find a lounging chair on the rooftop of the southern building, implying Joey has been staying there.
Gameplay and Story Segregation:
- It's possible for NPC Joey to be impersonated by a Trespasser or to fight Trespassers/UFOs. the other hand, it could be argued that this makes Joey's cover more believable to the IO and other humans.
- She'll walk around in her human disguise and true form, even though this would obviously blow her cover.
Heel–Face Turn: In Week 11 of Dr. Slone's quests, IO will have discovered her true identity and Slone sends you to recruit her. After having spent enough time with the inhabitants of the Island, she's decided that humans are fascinating and don't deserve to be destroyed, which she also reveals is the plan of the Last Reality.
Hugh Mann: While the human disguise itself is fairly convincing, the way they speak makes it painfully obvious that they aren't really human.
Matryoshka Object: Joey's loading screen depicts her zipping out of her human disguise while sitting in her human disguise's head which is inside her normal head which is inside her human disguise's head. Did you catch any of that?
Meaningful Background Event: In the IO's main house at Corny Complex, a whiteboard speculating that Joey is actually an alien in disguise could be found.
The Mole: Joey seems to be helping the IO and loopers against the aliens, but it turns out they're actually an alien in disguise, acting as a spy. In the Battle Pass trailer for Chapter 2 Season 7, Dr. Slone mentions that there are infiltrators in IO's ranks while we're shown Joey removing their disguise and attacking IO.
Noble Demon: While Joey is one of the alien invaders, they believe teamwork is important and that leaving teammates behind is abhorrent.
Not So Above It All: When the Summer 2021 event started, which was themed around a welcoming party at Believer Beach for the aliens, Joey temporarily moved from Dirty Docks to Believer Beach, presumably to partake in the celebrations.
Villain Respect: In their comments for your XP quests, Joey will be relieved to see that you won't abandon your teammates, saying that only monsters do that.
Walking Shirtless Scene: Human Joey walks around shirtless, putting his tattoos on display.

Zyg and Choppy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5e28bcd9_d516_4bec_9853_27aa108abbc9.png

A friendship that transcends lightyears.

An unregistered ZyrZyxx Destructo-Droid piloted by a small fugitive alien named Choppy.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, they could be found at the Hydro 16 building at the base of the Dam as a boss and dropped Zyg and Choppy's Ray Gun upon defeat.

Heel–Face Turn: In the loading screen awarded to winners of the FNCS Cup, Zyg and Choppy are shown to be standing together with Dr. Slone.
Hired Gun: Implied, as Zyg seems to have been constructed as a part of a droid army but is unregistered while Choppy is a fugitive for unknown reasons, though they're both seen helping the alien armada take over the Island.
Remote Body: Is meant to act as one for the new pet associated with the set, Choppy, but you can use the two cosmetics separately.

Others

Beast Boy

In later weeks of Chapter 2 Season 7, he could be found on the bridge at Weeping Woods.

Secret-Keeper: A promotional online mini-comic reveals that because of his animal senses, he recognizes Clark as Superman.

Dreamflower

A hippy who supported the aliens in Chapter 2 Season 7.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, she could be found at Flopper Pond.

Distaff Counterpart: Far Out Man is her male counterpart.

Riot

Debut: Season 6

An ill-tempered punk and bassist.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, he could be found as a boss at the rest stop next to Yellow Steel Bridge — east of Misty Meadows — and once defeated, became a normal NPC and sold the Storm Scout semi-automatic sniper rifle.

Blood Knight: He's violent and says he's "got a lot of rage to work out", which is why he's a hostile NPC.
Distaff Counterpart: Power Chord is his female counterpart.
The Mole: In the Week 7 XP quests, IO determines that Riot is traitor and supports the aliens.
Real Men Wear Pink: His bio in the Character Collection Book says that he teaches cooking classes at his local vegan co-op.

Rook

Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 7

A desk jockey turned field agent for the IO. She's also the ancestor of Demi.

Permanently Missable Content: She was exclusive to the Season 5 Battle Pass.

A mathematician specializing in quantum mechanics, researching the secrets of the universe. As of Chapter 2 Season 7, she is working with IO against the aliens.

In Chapter 2 Season 7, she could be found at Dinky Dish.

Developer's Foresight: For the Week 14 quests, completing "Confront the mole" can be done by pinging Maven with a Recon Scanner, in case you don't want to talk to her or can't.
The Mole: It turns out in the Week 14 quests that she's the mole for the aliens.

Hayseed

Debut: Season 8
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 7 (opening cinematic, NPC)

In Chapter 2 Season 7, he could be found at Steel Farm.

The Cameo: He makes a brief appearance in the Chapter 2 Season 7 opening cinematic, discovering crop circles with Cobb and Calamity.

Human Bill

In Chapter 2 Season 7, he could be found settled in the easternmost building of Dirty Docks.

Gameplay and Story Segregation: It's possible for Human Bill to be impersonated by a Trespasser or to attack Trespassers/UFOs.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Played for Laughs. In one of Dr. Slone's weekly quests, she'll send you to wipe someone's memory because He Knows Too Much and Bill is one of the NPCs that you can memory-wipe. Afterwards, he'll say he doesn't remember who his father is, though remembers that he's important in some way.
Paper-Thin Disguise: He's obviously a Grey in a suit, tie, and sunglasses, his name is literally just "Human Bill", and he brags out loud about how his father invented various alien devices. Yet, Dr. Slone's Week 8 quests indicate that she has no idea that he's an alien, as you can ask him if he's actually an alien infiltrator (he'll claim he isn't and you'll believe him) and you can mindwipe him for being a "civilian who knows too much" rather than possibly being, you know, an alien spy.
Royalties Heir: His father invented the various devices widely used by the aliens, such as the Saucers.
Shout-Out: He uses memes and Generation Z talking quirks.
- His set is called "Hot Alien Summer", a reference to the memed "Hot Girl Summer" by Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, and Ty Dolla $ign.

NPCs introduced in Chapter 2 Season 8

Battle Pass

Torin

A dimension-traveling monster hunter who fights monsters from the Sideways.

The Hero: She's prominently featured at the front of Chapter 2 Season 8 promotional material, and has the most to do with the season's current enemies, the monsters of the Sideways.

Charlotte

Artist: kitsunexkitsu

A teenage demon slayer possessed by a demonic spirit.

The Artifact: kitsunexkitsu originally named her Yuki, meaning "snow" in Japanese, hence her white clothing. Additionally, in Japan, white symbolizes death.
Hunter of His Own Kind: She's a demon slayer possessed by a demon.
Shout-Out: Possibly to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba; her loading screen is reminiscent of the anime's colorful and busy posters, and her promotional tweet leading up to Chapter 2 Season 8 says that she "hunts demons".

Fabio Sparklemane

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

HEY THERE! It's me! The beloved mascot-slash-spokeshorse for Unicorn Flakes, cursed to roam the Island shooting cereal out of my hooves until the sun turns to ash in the sky! Want a hug?!

The mascot for a brand of cereal called "Unicorn Flakes". There's something seriously wrong with both him and the cereal he promotes.—-

Apocalypse Maiden: Whatever the driving force behind Unicorn Flakes is, it wants him to spread it's corruption and influence as far as he can in order to awaken some horror from "the depths". Fabio, for his part, seems to just be along for the ride.
Black Comedy: He's a mascot for a sugary cereal and is forced to be kid-friendly. That "force"? He's cursed to eat and barf up said cereal for all of eternity by his corporate bosses.
Body Horror: Underneath his hooves are tiny human hands. He's also constantly forced to endlessly consume disgustingly sugary cereal to the point of vomiting.
Crapsaccharine World: Wherever messed-up reality Fabio came from seems to be this.
Expository Theme Tune: His built-in emote and lobby music track serve as one. It starts as a bubbly, upbeat track about how tasty Unicorn Flakes are, but quickly devolves into nightmare fuel.
Singers: The Hoof is a curse that must be obeyed, you can never escape what the rainbow has made!
Fabio: I cannot stop! Help me!
Forced Transformation: Implied to be a function of his curse, as talking to him while wearing the Fabio skin will have him ask if they "got you too".
Image Song: "Flake That", a cheery cereal jingle with pretty dark lyrics…
No Indoor Voice: All of Fabio's dialogue is caps-locked to indicate yelling.
Stepford Smiler: He keeps up the appearance of a cheery cartoon mascot, but is, by the game's own description, "actually in horrible agony."
Fabio: Hi there! Do you know how to cure any cereal-based curses?

J.B. Chimpanski

It was all fun and spacewalks... Until they left him behind.

A Soviet primate astronaut gathering the war effort against the Cubes.

In Chapter 2 Season 8, he can be found on one of the helicopter landing pads at Mount F8.

Apes in Space: Although it's not known if he's a space monkey similar to the ones used in real life, or if he's from a reality of sapient apes and he just happened to be an astronaut.
Big Good: He's the one rallying the loopers to fight back against the cubes, hosting the donation boxes and feeding intel to the islanders.
Furry Reminder: Usually acts no different to a normal human, but occasionally his chimp-ness shows.
- His Monkey Mosh built-in emote has him holding his arms in the air while he walks, which real world chimps do to maintain balance when walking on the ground.
- He mentions to the Looper that driving is hard for him because he has thumbs on his feet.
Image Song: "Space Chimp", a mosh pit song.
The Leader: He's leading the war effort throghout Chapter 2 Season 8. He is an astronaut, so he's probably the most qualified for a leadership position amongst the others.
Punny Name: "Chimpanski" sounds a lot like chimpanzee. Overlaps with A Dog Named "Dog".
Shout-Out: The first line in his Image Song, "Get your dang dirty hands off my spacesuit", is a reference to the famous line from Planet of the Apes (1968), "Take your stinking hands off of me, you damn dirty ape!".

Carnage

A violent alien symbiote.

Guest Fighter: Carnage is a Marvel Comics villain, and his inclusion in the Chapter 2 Season 8 Battle Pass was to tie in with the then-upcoming release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Others

The Brat

An anthropomorphic hot dog thug.

Anthropomorphic Food: He's a hot dog man.
Carnivore Confusion: A spray from Chapter 2 Season 3 shows him being shocked upon discovering hot dogs as food.
Punny Name: An affluent hot dog named "The Brat", as in, bratwurst.

NPCs introduced in Chapter 3

Season 1

Ronin

Badass in Distress: He shows up incarcerated in Covert Cavern.

Shanta

Bling of War: Her Indian warrior aesthetic comes with a lot of gold, with the option to unlock even more.

Haven

Wild Child: She was born on the island... and well out of view of the urbanised areas like Tilted Towers or Pleasant Park.

Harlowe

Amazing Technicolor Population: She's bright purple with white hair.
Tron Lines: All her clothing styles have light up areas.

Lt. John Llama

'90s Anti-Hero: His whole rogue commando design is dripping with this.
Testosterone Poisoning: Action hero aesthetic with a gas guzzling monster truck glider? Check and check.

Gumbo

Anthropomorphic Food: Subverted - he's actually the gumball machine, but living gumballs form part of his aesthetic.
Ax-Crazy: Tends to be depicted as this, particularly in his loading screen.
Non-Indicative Name: Gumbo is actually stew, an iconic part of Southern cuisine, not involving gumballs in any way.

Others

Gunnar

Early-Bird Cameo: He first appears in the end of chapter 2 event, then reappears much later when Covert Cavern is added.

Crossover Characters

Characters from that have played a role in the game's ongoing story.

Marvel Comics

Deadpool

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2
Appearances:

Breaking the Fourth Wall: A common feature of the big goofball. He took over the Item Shop when his items were announced, waving to the player as he brought in the screen showing them, and waved to the camera during the trailer that introduced Wolverine.
Guns Akimbo: Uses twin pistols which also restore life upon impact.

Galactus

Voiced by: ???

Big Bad: Of Season 2 Chapter 4. Plans to devour the Zero Point, which would destroy the entire Fortnite reality. The entire plot of the season revolves around gaining enough help and resources to drive him away from the island before he devours the world.

Doctor Victor Von Doom

Day of the Jackboot: Pleasant Park is forcibly turned into Doom's Domain in season 4.
Mecha-Mooks: Doom's Domain is naturally guarded by Doombots.
Our Founder: Not surprisingly, his own town in season 4 has a Dr Doom statue.

Tony Stark (Iron Man)

Voiced by: Nolan North

Big Good: Of Chapter 2 Season 4. He organized the resistance against Galactus, hacking the loop itself and making an army of Battle Buses turned into gamma bombs to use against Galactus. He's also the overall leader of the heroes that season.

Wolverine

Voiced by: Steve Blum

Roaming Enemy: While most bosses keep their patrol to a specific area they spawn in, Wolverine patrolled a wide, circling path around Weeping Woods and Slurpy Swamp, making him as difficult to actually find as he is to fight.

DC Comics

Batman

A detective dressed like a bat.

In later weeks of Chapter 2 Season 7, Armored Batman could be found at Dirty Docks.

Awesomeness by Analysis: Even with his memory wiped, he still has his detective skills and is able to deduce various things about what's really going on with the Loop, such as a Government Conspiracy, although some of his deductions are Entertainingly Wrong.
Composite Character: The end of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point shows that Batman and Catwoman's experiences are based on the Bronze Age and the New 52.
The Ghost: The Batshack was set up partway through Chapter 2 Season 6, though Batman is off on his own adventures as detailed in Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point.
Good Is Not Nice: At the end of the comic, as he, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn (forcibly) are about to return to their reality, Harley breaks out of her restraints and returns to the Island to continue her Blood Knight spree. Catwoman tries to stop her, wanting her to come home with them, but Batman decides to let her go since she wants to stay so badly, even though they know she'll have no way to come back if she changes her mind.
Have We Met?: He feels that "the cat" and "the harlequin" are familiar to him somehow.
Let's You and Him Fight: Issue #3 is about him fighting Snake Eyes (who is presumably sent by the IO) and the two of them being locked in a stalemate. However, IO doesn't expect them to see each other as Worthy Opponents and they manage to communicate in a sign language unknown to the organization to collaborate on something.
Me's a Crowd: Due to escaping the Loop, it created a snapshot of him in the Loop — Armored Batman.
Mythology Gag:
- Fishstick sarcastically calls Batman "the world's greatest detective" in doubt of his investigation abilities. Unknown to either, it actually is one of his monikers.
- The shot of Bruce proposing to Selina while they're both in costume is taken straight from the New 52.
Not So Above It All: For whatever reason, the Batshack has a llamacorn floaty.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: In one of the loops, Catwoman takes the bullet for him from a squad of other Loopers, and though knowing that she'll be revived in the next loop, he still takes his fury out on them.

Catwoman

Composite Character: The end of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point shows that Batman and Catwoman's experiences are based on the Bronze Age and the New 52.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: After Taking the Bullet for Batman, he cradles her lifeless body. She gets better.
Irony: Before she and Batman enter the Zero Point to return home, she expresses last-second doubts, worrying that they may never be free like they were on the Island — what if they can't be together? Turns out in their home reality, she rejected Bruce's marriage proposal, which she wasn't happy about either.
Me's a Crowd: Due to escaping the Loop, it created a snapshot of her in the Loop — Armored Catwoman.
Mythology Gag:
- The shot of Bruce proposing to Selina while they're both in costume is taken straight from the New 52.
- For a time, Selina also ended up not going through with the proposal, as Batman's villains convinced her that Bruce can't commit to fighting crime and being a married man at the same time, and she didn't want to take Bruce away from being a hero.
- On the Island, Catwoman wonders if she and Batman are married. Well… not on their Earth.
Promoted to Playable: Averted for the moment. In the final issue of the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic, we see that Armored Batman has his own Catwoman, Armored Catwoman, though she currently does not have a playable skin.
Rejected Marriage Proposal: When she and Batman return to their Earth, they remember he proposed to her, but for whatever reason, she later returned the ring. Remembering this makes Catwoman leave in tears.
Taking the Bullet: In one of the loops, she pushes Batman out of the way of a squad's gunfire and gets eliminated. While knowing that she'll get better, he still loses it on the squad.

Harley Quinn

A violent harlequin-themed woman.

Blood Knight: In spite of Batman trying to ask for her help, she immediately attacks him, and she's clearly having fun fighting other Loopers.
Crazy Sane: It turns out she still has her memories while in the Loop, which Batman and Catwoman speculate is because her insanity made her immune to its amnesia-inducing nature.
Guest Fighter: Her first skin was released to promote the release of Birds of Prey (2020).
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Batman sees her gleefully doing the Floss dance after defeating a squad, which he finds silly and unbecoming.

The Batman Who Laughs

A Batman from an Earth where he was Jokerified and became an omnicidal supervillain.

The Chessmaster: Since he is a Batman, he knows exactly what the main Batman would do, allowing him, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, and Dr. Slone to successfully conduct their scheme down to the letter with Batman as their Unwitting Pawn.
Mythology Gag: He's an Ax-Crazy Omnicidal Maniac version of Batman who wants to help a higher being destroy the multiverse so he can gain power and remake it in his image; multiple realities where people essentially live in Hell and become the worst versions of themselves. Yes, you should be worried.
Troll: He refuses to tell Lex Luthor and the others what Batman's civilian identity is because he'd rather they'd figure it out themselves.

Wonder Woman

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7

An Amazonian warrior princess.

Expy Coexistence: Valor is believed to be an expy of Wonder Woman due to both being the star superheroine in their respective franchises, as well as Valor wearing Wonder Woman's New 52 colors.
Mythology Gag:
- The alternate style for Wonder Woman is taken from the New 52's Wonder Woman (2011) comic.
- Wonder Woman wielding a battleaxe rather than a sword as she's popularly known for is in line with more obscure depictions of the character, such as in toys. The W-like design is also based on previous versions of the battleaxe, particularly in Roblox.

Others

Kratos

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 5
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5 (skin announcement trailer), Chapter 2 Season 6 (opening cinematic)

A god of war from Greek mythology who waged a one-man war against the heavens.

Sarah Connor

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 5
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6 (opening cinematic)

Cammy

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 7 (loading screen)

A British special agent and former Shadaloo soldier, determined to crush the criminal organization and free others like her from its control.

Free Guy/Dude

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7

Mecha Morty

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 7 (skin announcement trailer)

Rick's grandson, armed with a mech suit.

Mythology Gag:
- Morty uses the mech suits that Snowball and the other dogs were using when they became hyper-intelligent in "Lawnmower Dog".
- Morty has a synced emote, "Get Schwifty", which is when he and Rick performed for the Cromulons in the episode of the same name.
- His wrap is patterned after Mr. Meeseeks's head and his backbling is a backpack made of the Meeseeks Cube.
- Morty's pickaxe is the snake astronaut from "Rattlestar Ricklactica".
- His skin announcement trailer is a parody of the B.R.U.T.E. loading screen, with Morty in place of the B.R.U.T.E. mech.

Beerus

Debut: Chapter 3 Season 3
Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 3

The God of Destruction for Universe 7, and a close friend of Goku and company.

Cats Are Mean: A humanoid sphinx cat that is also the God of Destruction, and is known for destroying planets on a whim.
Mythology Gag: The "Charging Ki" and "Boosting Ki" emotes cloak him in a violet Battle Aura matching his Hakai energy, as opposed to white for every other character.

Ash Williams

Debut: Chapter 3 Season 4
Appearances: Chapter 3 Season 4

The legendary Deadite exterminator himself, armed with his trusty chainsaw hand.

Chainsaw Good: He comes with a chainsaw hand, a unique Harvesting tool only he can use.

The Doom Slayer

Debut: Chapter 4 Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 4 Season 1

The leader of the Night Sentinels, carrying the Mark of the Slayer and said to be Doom incarnate.

BFS: His Crucible, a greatsword made of Argent Energy.
Mythology Gag: The "Mini Slayer Fistbump" emote is one to Doom (2016) where finding a miniature Doomguy would have him pick up the figure and fistbump it.
Shoulder Cannon: He has a Reactive feature that causes his Equipment Launcher to swivel forward when aiming down sights.

Optimus Prime

The kindly but war-hardened Leader of the Autobots, who will do whatever it takes to ensure the freedom of all sentient beings.

Arm Cannon: Though he doesn't use it in gameplay, he comes with a Built In Emote where he flourishes his Barrage Cannon.
Fighting a Shadow: Since the real Optimus Prime is a couple stories tall, he's sent in a holomatter avatar based on himself.
Weapon Specialization: His trusty battle axe makes it in as a Harvesting tool.

Optimus Primal

The wise and ferocious Leader of the Maximals, more than willing to fight tooth and claw to save his people.

Dual Wielding: He has his Sonic Swords as a Harvesting tool, with a Reactive effect that causes them to superheat when targeting weak points in terrain.
Primal Chest-Pound: Wouldn't be a gorilla man without it. He has an Built In Emote where he pounds his chest, falls into a squatting position and plants his knuckles in the ground as an intimidation tactic.

Philip J. Fry

Once a pizza boy from the 20th century, Fry had accidentally cryonically froze himself for 1000 years. Soon after unfreezing, he become a delivery boy for Planet Express.

Alternate Self: His counterpart from Universe 1 is available as an alternate style.

Turanga Leela

The pilot of the Planet Express ship and head of the company's delivery crew, Leela was abandoned at birth and believed herself to have been an alien from an unknown planet.

Adaptational Badass: Downplayed example, given that she was plenty badass in the show, but by nature of the game, her usual Amusingly Awful Aim is absent here.
Alternate Self: Her counterpart from Universe 1 is available as an alternate style.

Bender Bending Rodriguez

A loudmouthed, kleptomaniac, misanthropic robot who also happens to be Fry's best friend.

Alternate Self: His counterpart from Universe 1 is available as an alternate style.

Mark Grayson/Invincible

A young adult superhero born to a human mother and an alien father. Was flung into Battle Royale's reality by a supervillain.

Call-Forward: Coinciding with the half-season break of the animated series' second season, Invincible (alongside Omni-Man and Atom Eve) arrived towards the end of Season O.G., with no indication that their appearance really meant anything. Months later, the season's finale, "I Thought You Were Stronger", revealed that Mark really did get sent to Fortnite's world (thanks to the powers of Angstrom Levy) by way of having him emerge from a portal wielding a Dragon's Breath Sniper as a makeshift club.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The Dragon's Breath wasn't in the weapon pool during the stretch between Season O.G. (when season 2 of Invincible started) and Chapter 5, Season 2 (when it ended), meaning Mark shouldn't have been able to get his hands on one. Given that Battle Royale can be prone to timey-wimey shenanigans, we can probably let this instance slide.

Peter Griffin

A (normally) portly father from Rhode Island who's an immature, dim-witted, outspoken, eccentric alcoholic.

Adaptational Curves: Peter trades his usual large gut for muscles, in-universe due to drinking expired Slurp Juice, out of universe because his normal frame doesn't fit into Fortnite's usual hitboxes.
Guest-Star Party Member: An antagonistic example. He appears as a boss character on the Chapter 5 map under the protection of The Society, but doesn't seem to be a member himself. While he's flaunting his status with a set of gold armor, hired goons, a personalized mansion in Snooty Steppes, and even has his own Artifact and Mythic weapon, both The Society and The Underground make no mention of him.
Mythology Gag: Peter's musclebound appearance was taken from Family Guy S 2 E 17 Hes Too Sexy For His Fat, wherein he got plastic surgery.

Others

Characters who have only minor importance to the storyline, shown via loading screens, cutscenes, or promotional content.

Peely

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c69bca00_17ae_41bb_b72e_7309372cce74.png

Go bananas!

Debut: Season 8, Season 9 (Smoothie), Season X (P-1000), Chapter 2 Season 1 (Peely Bone), Chapter 2 Season 2 (Agent Peely), Chapter 2 Season 3 (Unpeely), Chapter 2 Season 6 (Potassius Peels), Chapter 3 Season 1 (Polar Peely)
Appearances: Season 9 (opening cinematic), Season X (opening cinematic), Chapter 2 Season 4 (Fortnite/Marvel: - Nexus War: Thor), Chapter 2 Season 4 (opening cinematic), Chapter 2 Season 6 (opening cinematic), Chapter 2 Season 7 (opening cinematic, Battle Pass trailer), Chapter 3 Season 2 (NPC), Indiana Jones trailer

"Peely!"

— Jonesy, Chapter 2 Season 6 Opening Cinematic

An anthropomorphic banana and Jonesy's best bud.

Anthropomorphic Food: A sentient giant banana with limbs.
Butt-Monkey: He's turned into a Smoothie (backbling) by Bunker Jonesy when they get trapped in a bunker and he's remade as the robot P-1000. He spent Chapter 2, Season 5 trapped in carbonadium. Ryu blows him up with a Hadoken at the start of Chapter 2, Season 6. In addition, Sakura and Blanka wreck his car, thinking they're in a bonus round...
Brick Joke: In the opening cinematic to Season 9, Jonesy has to eat Peely to survive in the bunker. The summer event that season then releases a backbling of Peely as a Smoothie, and the following season, the intro cinematic has Peely angry at Jonesy while holding the blender, and Smoothie Peely gains a robot body and becomes the P-1000.
Chekhov's Skill: Throughout all of Chapter 3, Season 2, Peely has been wanting to learn to drive. A seemingly innocuous, funny quest for our banana buddy, right? In the final battle between the Mecha Strike Commander and the Imagined Order, the Mecha is knocked down from a missile barrage. Peely comes driving in with a Slurp truck to repair the Mecha and supercharge its weapons.
Developer's Foresight:
- In Chapter 2 Season 5, if you talk to Reese while wearing a Peely skin, she'll comment that she's never hunted a banana before.
Drives Like Crazy: Can be found at a crashed vehicle that he was apparently driving. One of the missions in Chapter 3 Season 2 involves trying to teach the banana how to drive.
Early-Bird Cameo: Potassius Peels was seen as a statue in Season 2 Chapter 5's Colossal Colosseum before debuting in the next season in the Item Shop.
Expy: Has ones in Cobb, a corn-on-the-cobb version of Peely, and arguably, the Brat, an anthropomorphic hot dog.
Ludicrous Gibs: Ryu landed a Hadoken directly on him in the Chapter 2, Season 6 trailer, and the impact proceeded to turn Peely into banana mush all over the place (and all over Jonesy). Because he's a banana, it's perfectly okay.
Noodle Implements: If Bunker Jonesy's string theory is to be believed, Peely has something to do with the aliens' interest in the Zero Point in Chapter 2 Season 7, but we don't know the details.
Odd Friendship: Every snapshot of Jonesy, including John Jones himself, is very fond of Peely for whatever reason.
Series Mascot: One of the most well-known Fortnite characters.
Suddenly Voiced: Speaks (albeit with a voice changer which does little to hide his actual identity on account of him being... well, a banana) for the first time in the intro cinematic to Chapter 2, Season 7.
Temporary Online Content: Despite being one of the game's Series Mascots, some of Peely's skins are Battle Pass-exclusive or were only available in the shop for a limited time. Peely Bone is a Halloween-exclusive, Unpeely is a summer-exclusive, and Potassius Peels rotates in the shop.
They Killed Kenny Again: Peely has the dubious honor of being the character killed onscreen the highest number of times. Not that it matters.

Fishstick

Keep away from Maki Master.

An anthropomorphic fish guy.

Beware the Silly Ones: Despite his silly appearance and demeanor, the original Fishstick actually managed to escape the loop. He died anyways, but hey, credit where credit is due!
Butt-Monkey: Dies three times in the comics. The original Fishstick is killed, along with Fishstick in his Pirate style, and finally Triggerfish.
The Ditz: Isn't quite sure where he is or what he's doing.
Fish People: He's an anthropomorphic Flopper.
Interspecies Romance: Seems to have begun a relationship with Doggo, of all people. In the trailer for Loki's Crew Pack, the two can be seen cuddling on the battle bus and one of the seats has "F + D" carved into it. They can also be seen holding hands on the beach in the NBA crossover trailer.
Recurring Extra: Never really plays a major role in the story, but he shows up frequently in the background for quick gags in trailers.
Series Mascot: Fishstick is one of the game's most well-known, advertised characters.
Shoo Out the Clowns: He's killed in Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point and it's played surprisingly seriously, and because he died outside the loop, it's permanent (although his snapshot is still in the loop).

Cuddle Team Leader

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/87f1803f_014d_4105_b9c9_556e2825889a.png

Hug it out.
^{Click here to see Mecha Cuddle Master.}

Debut: Season 2 (skin)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6 (Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, loading screens), Chapter 2 Season 7 (loading screen)

A woman wearing a teddy bear suit.

At some point, Cuddle Team Leader was sent into another reality, Hypertilt City, where her suit was destroyed and replaced with the Mecha Cuddle Master suit. Towards the end of Chapter 2 Season 6, she found a rift that returned her to the Island.

Bad Future: Ragsy, a post-apocalyptic version of Cuddle Team Leader.
The Cameo: Cuddle makes a cameo appearance as one of the Loopers that Harley Quinn is fighting in the final issue of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. This makes a tight timeline for her to go to Hypertilt City and get her Mecha Cuddle Master suit — it's possible the comic takes place before that or one of them is a snapshot.
Distaff Counterpart: Snuggs is the only male Cuddle Bear skin.
Expository Theme Song: Mecha Cuddle Master's Image Song, "Mecha Power", describes how Cuddle was transported to the reality of Hypertilt City via rift and found her way back home.
Foreshadowing:
- The first loading screen for Mecha Cuddle Master shows that the city that Cuddle landed in has signs and screens for the various alien-associated emojis and symbols that would be featured in the then-upcoming Chapter 2 Season 7.
- Mecha Cuddle Master's final loading screen has a silhouette of Loki in the background, foreshadowing that he would be the next Fortnite Crew skin.
- Cuddle's rift adventure in Hypertilt City would foreshadow the Rift Tour, an event themed with rifts and Cuddle.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Her bear helmet has a scar over its left eye.
Image Song: Mecha Cuddle Master has "Mecha Power" by MYLK.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Seeing as her Mecha Cuddle Master loading screens have Early Bird Cameos for the aliens and that Bunker Jonesy's conspiracy board in Chapter 2 Season 7 shows that she may have some sort of connection to the aliens, this suggests that Cuddle returning to the Island via the rifts led to the aliens discovering the existence of the Zero Point and launching their invasion on the Island for it.
Over-the-Top Roller Coaster: Has built one of these in Chapter 3, Season 3, turning the former IO base into a party house. Her roller coaster uses the much beloved Ballers, and includes wind tunnel flying and jumps.
Permanently Missable Content:
- Mecha Cuddle Master and her set was the June 2021 exclusive for Fortnite Crew members.
- The Rift Tour cosmetics (themed after either Ariana or Cuddle) only ran during the event's timeframe.
Pink Is Feminine: She's a girl and her main skins are pink.
Series Mascot: She is one of the most well-known, advertised Fortnite characters. In chapter 3, she got her own Point of Interest in the form of Camp Cuddle, and can be found as an NPC there.
Temporary Online Content:
- Spooky Team Leader and Snuggs are Halloween-exclusives, Bundles is a Christmas/winter-exclusive, Clover Team Leader is a St. Patrick-exclusive, Quackling is an Easter-exclusive, and Fireworks Team Leader is a July 4th-exclusive.

Permanently Missable Content: Drift could only be obtained in the Season 5 Battle Pass.
Temporary Online Content: Drift could only be obtained in the Season 5 Battle Pass, Summer Drift is a summer-exclusive, and Snow Drift was a part of a bundle that was released only during Chapter 2 Season 5 for the holidays.

Debut: Season 1
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 6 (Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point)

Gameplay and Story Integration: According to the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic, she was the first to escape the Loop when it first started four years ago, reflecting how she was an exclusive, limited-time skin in the Season Shop from Season 1 (the predecessor to the Battle Pass that would be introduced in Season 2).
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Of course... if you do happen to have her skin, there's nothing stopping you from playing as her. Maybe you're her snapshot?

Debut: Season 1 (Brite Bomber), Season 6 (Dark Bomber), Chapter 2 Season 4 (Nightsurf Bomber), Chapter 2 Season 6 (Beach Bomber), unknown (Brilliant Bomber)

Dragon Lady: Downplayed. She's implied to be of Chinese descent as she wears a qipao, and she's also said to be in possession of the "power of the dragon".

Vendetta

Debut: Season 9

Ambiguously Brown: He uses a unique model and wears a mask designed after the Japanese flag. On the other hand, Drift also has a Japanese aesthetic but is Caucasian.

The Autumn Queen

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 1

A ruler of the forest.

Permanently Missable Content: The Falling Leaf wrap was exclusive to players that played Battle Royale between November 28 and December 1, 2019.
Shout-Out:
- She's a very light ripoff of Anna and Elsa's depiction in Frozen II, especially as she was released a week after the sequel. She's a redhead (like Anna) with Elsa's braided hairstyle, and she's associated with the forest during the fall season, which is the setting of Frozen II and is where Elsa becomes the new queen of.
- Additionally, she also highly resembles the Autumn Queen from Clash of Clans.

Gear Specialist Maya

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 2

A customizable desert ops soldier.

Early-Installment Weirdness: As the game's first attempt at highly customizable cosmetics, players could only customize their Maya skin in Chapter 2 Season 2 before it was permanently locked after the end of the season, an issue shared with the Build-A-Brella in Chapter 2 Season 3. Afterwards, the game would expand styles to include a larger gallery of options for customization so that subsequent cosmetics would always be customizable in players' lockers, though Maya and the Build-A-Brella are still stuck as they are.

Siona

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 3

A spacewalker.

Stellar Name: Her name means "stars" in Indian.

Fade

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 3

An oni-themed man far from home.

Ambiguous Situation: His modern appearance, similar styles, a Japanese myth-aesthetic, and that he's said to be "far from home" heavily point to him being from the same reality as Drift.
Oni: He is based on the oni, a demonlike beast in Japanese Mythology.

//R.E.M.Wakers//

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 6
Artist: sunman, Mondead Studio

Megumi, Chigusa, and Yuki, a trio of rebel hackers fighting against the R.E.M. Corp, a battle that encompasses the real world and virtual world.

At some point, when Cuddle Team Leader was sent to another reality, she befriended the R.E.M.Wakers before returning to the Island near the end of Chapter 2 Season 6.

Animesque: Like Lexa and Orin, they're drawn and rendered in an anime-like artstyle. Additionally, they all have Japanese names and are seen in the Japanese-inspired Fortnite Crew's June 2021 (Mecha Cuddle Master) trailer. Ironically, however, they were designed by a South Korean artist.
Meaningful Name:
- Yuki means "snow", and Yuki wears a white hoodie.
- Chigusa can mean a type of flower and "light greenish-blue", and Chigusa has green eyes.
- Megumi means "grace".

Deimos

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 6

Continuity Nod: Deimos's mask resembles the demonic face on Corrupted Voyager and Abstrakt's Assassin style.
Cool Mask: If you look closely, his demonic face is actually a mask.
Foreshadowing: His loading screen depicts an alien U.F.O. abducting someone, foreshadowing Chapter 2 Season 7's alien invasion theme. That design is also used on a badge on Sunny's Voyager style.
Meaningful Name: Deimos is the Greek god of dread and terror. Might double as a reference to the Martian moon of the same name, seeing as his loading screen depicts a UFO.

Loki

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7

A trickster god from Asgard, who found his way to the Island by following Mecha Cuddle Master through the rifts.

Continuity Nod: Loki's loading screen is confirmed to take place after Mecha Cuddle Master's final loading screen, given the same characters are in both.
Early-Bird Cameo: A silhouette of him can be seen in the background of Mecha Cuddle Master's final loading screen.
Guest Fighter: He was released as the Fortnite Crew character for July 2021, tying into the release of the Loki series.

Henchmen

The varying classes of unplayable mooks that show up in-game. Usually carries strong weapons for the players to use.

The "Henchbros"

Initially a GHOST and SHADOW henchmen duo, this group of rank and file henchmen from various dissolved organizations eventually grew to include a Trespasser, an IO guard, and a Seven guard named Svenja.

Action Survivor: The main duo lived through the following — The island flooding when a Doomsday Device failed, Galactus attempting to devour the Zero Point, a horde of bounty hunters entering the island, the Zero Point getting encased in a tower and then blown up by aliens months later, a full on invasion that ended with them first trapped in a room in the mothership full of parasite eggs, as seen below, and then falling from said mothership without their glides, evil cubes and cube monsters taking over the island, the island FLIPPING OVER, and an outright war with the Imagined Order. They befriend the last Trespasser and enjoy the peace for several seasons, also taking in an IO guard and Svenja.
The Artifact: When they first debuted as non-hostile NPCs, the more sophisticated and formalized Character system later implemented to have interactable non-hostile NPCs was not yet invented. This meant they instead used a modified henchmen AI to walk around and express themselves through emotes. Even after the Character system was introduced, this remained unchanged.
Being Evil Sucks: Most of the IO Remnant's dialogue mentions how utterly miserable he was working under Sloane. He mentions never having much fun and not having any time to enjoy the sights of the Island, which he can as one of the Henchbros.
Butt-Monkey: During Operation: Skyfire the GHOST and SHADOW henchmen ended up trapped inside a room full of alien parasite eggs, left to their fates by Sloane and the Loopers out of necessity. And then they were seen falling from the mothership with no gliders.
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: When Svenja was first seen in a weekly quest, she used the basic Seven guard model, which was a generic blue helmet stuck on an otherwise unchanged default skin. When she became a member of the Henchbros (and received her own skin in the shop), her outfit was modified to be more personalized and she was given a unique Seven helmet.
The Faceless: All five of the Henchbros keep the helmets and headgear on from their respective organization's outfits, keeping their faces hidden.
Odd Friendship: A single GHOST Henchman and SHADOW Henchman, apparently the last surviving ones, have formed a friendship. The two have been found around the island at various points through Chapter 2 Seasons 4, 5, and 7.
Party of Representatives: Each one comes from a major faction following their defeat and/or exit from the main plot of the Season. This leaves them a five man team with a friendly member from GHOST, SHADOW, the Last Reality, the IO, and the Seven.
Poke the Poodle: When the GHOST and SHADOW henchmen first found about each other in Retail Row, they initially try to start up another conflict between the groups — by having a Dance-Off instead of doing anything genuinely malicious to each other. By the end of it, they gave up the conflict entirely.
Promoted to Playable: Both of their skins were finally released into the item shop in Chapter 2, Season 7, allowing players to play as them. The other three henchbros were also steadily added to the shop, the Trespasser alone and the IO guard and Svenja released together.
Recurring Extra: None of them are important to the story, but from the introduction of the main duo in Chapter 2, Season 4, the steadily expanding group make regular appearances across the Island.
Sharp-Dressed Man: The GHOST and SHADOW henchmen wear the sharp white and black suits uniform among the henchmen. Even their "casual wear" is simply the same suits with cropped pants.
The Smurfette Principle: Svenja is the only female of the group.
Undying Loyalty: All five of them develop this toward the other members of the group. While they are peaceful otherwise, attacking one will invariably set them all off as hostile against the Looper in question.
Wandering the Earth: They mainly spend their time exploring the island and enjoying themselves together, either randomly spawning at a named location engaging in activities, driving around the map, or even spawning in the Rift's Random Event.

Marauders

Roaming Enemy: Groups of Marauders would patrol the map, attacking whomever they came across.

Gorgers

Boss in Mook Clothing: Has a LOT of hit points and hits like a truck with its lasers.
Mook Maker: Spits out Gatherers which float around and attack. The Gatherers can be picked up and used as weapons against the Gorger

IO Guards

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 5 (NPCs)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 5, Chapter 2 Season 7, Chapter 2 Season 8

Elite Mook: Harder to kill than previous henchmen, with smarter AI as well.
Wham Shot: In Issue #5 of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point we see the face of a defeated IO Guard... and it's a Jonesy snapshot.

Trespassers

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7 (NPCs)
Appearances: Chapter 2 Season 7

Alien soldiers piloting the U.F.O.s over places-of-interest on the Island during the alien invasion.

Developer's Foresight:
- If you approach a Trespasser while with an Alien Parasite, it'll ignore you.
- If you knock down a Trespasser near another Trespasser disguised as an NPC, the "NPC" will try to heal them.
They Look Like Everyone Else: There is a random chance for some NPCs to spawn as Trespassers in disguise. If attacked or exposed via certain dialogue options, they'll reveal themselves and turn hostile.

Celebrity Guests

Celebrities who have appeared in in-game events or special bundles.

In General

Celebrity Superhero: Most of them are depicted as an actualizations of their personas or just super-personified to fit with the cast of Fortnite being comprised of people with powers or combat skills.

Marshmello

Debut: Chapter 7, Chapter 2 Season 6

Rainbow Motif: His white-and-black set can change colors as a reaction to music or being swung.

Neymar Jr.

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 6

Permanently Missable Content: He was only obtainable in the Chapter 2 Season 6 Battle Pass.

LeBron James

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7

Guest Fighter: He was brought into the game to promote the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Midas Touch: Downplayed. Similar to Midas and Marigold, his pickaxe and backbling gradually become more gold.
Panthera Awesome: His pickaxe is a lion head that gradually becomes more gold.

Ariana Grande

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fd13de3f_f66c_4f12_a3f6_63fc97009596.png

Debut: Chapter 2 Season 7

A singer proclaimed a "Rift Goddess" and the host of the Rift Tour.

Canon Character All Along: As it turns out, the Rift Tour wasn't just a celebrity event, but played a part in the storyline of that season, the Last Reality taking advantage of it to scan the Looper's memories.
Mythology Gag:
- At the beginning of the "Be Alright" bubble segment, Ariana is inside a bubble and makes the same half-submerged pose like in her "God is a Woman" music video.
- Likewise, at the end of the "The Way" segment, Ariana opens a rift by throwing her hammer at the sky to break it, which is also a reference to the "God is a Woman" music video.
Power Crystal: She's depicted wearing dresses made of rift crystals and her power seems to be Reality Warping using the rifts.
Reality Subtext:
- In "The Way" segment, a song she sang with her late boyfriend Mac Miller, the scene is set in a heavenly place made of stairs as Ariana ascends one of the staircases.
- The transition to her entrance is of the players helping each other up, a tribute to the lives lost at the Manchester bombing.
Reality Warping: She's empowered by the rift crystals and uses them to create the various special effects in the Rift Tour.

The Kid LAROI

Debut: Chapter 4 Season 1

A young Australian artist with the honor of being the first celebrity event of chapter 4 and 2023.

Literal Split Personality: His dark side is made manifest as The Rogue Laroi.

Eminem, Slim Shady and Rap Boy

Debut: Chapter 4 Finale

A virtuosic and competitive rapper with legendary status, his all-powerful evil twin, and his superhero Secret Identity.

Ascended Meme:
- Rap Boy's render shows him reaching out a hand, a pose Eminem did in a promotional photograph for his 2010 album Recovery that has been subject to a meme in which the image is edited to make him seem to be throwing something, usually an animal.
- One of Marshall's Back Blings is a carton of Mom's Spaghetti, a lyric from "Lose Yourself" which became an internet meme (usually in the form of edits of the song to make them about spaghetti). Eminem eventually turned it into a fast-food brand selling spaghetti in paper cartons, like noodles.
- Eminem's 2020 song "Tone Deaf" became an internet meme in 2022 due to its garish animated video and bizarre So Unfunny, It's Funny lyrics, which included a reference to playing "Fortnite with your grandma". The trailer announcing Eminem's arrival to Fortnite used this specific lyric, and Marshall accompanied it with an invitation "to all grandmas". (The lyric also involves bananas, another Fortnite theme.)
- Eminem was widely mocked for his terrible makeup in his appearance at the 2022 Super Bowl Half Time Show, with his eyebrows filled in way too thick and dark. The middle-aged Marshall has much thicker, darker eyebrows than the young Slim.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Shady is a giant, suiting his designation as "Godzilla".
Bad Butt: Slim's infamously profane personality is neutered for the age rating. He flashes a peace sign in his idle animation instead of his signature Flipping the Bird, and the description of Marshall Never More's axes is the euphemistic "mess around and find out". His music is also heavily censored, including things that are inoffensive (e.g. a respectful reference to Jesus is cut from "Walk On Water").
Corrupted Character Copy: Rap Boy is a Shadyfied version of Robin, which draws elements from Robin's later designs. Amusingly, Eminem's parody of Robin is in Fortnite, but not the actual Robin.
Demographically Inappropriate Humour: Shady's chainsaw can't be shown with blood on it with the age rating, so instead it's covered in rainbow coloured splatters, reminiscent of the colours of the crayon writing on the front cover of The Slim Shady LP. However, if you're familiar with Eminem's controversial lyrics, it looks like the Pride-flag-coloured blood of Shady's typical victims.
Dual Age Modes: The rapper appears in both his mid-20s and late-40s appearance.
Evil Brunette Twin: If you're familiar with Eminem's mythology, you might assume the young blonde is Slim Shady and the middle-aged brunette is Eminem. However, in the story, the blonde is shown rapping "Lose Yourself" and generally conducting himself seriously, while the brunette is a living horror movie and appears literally demonic.
Gothic Horror: The older Eminem is given a raven theming inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, another famously twisted poet.
Hockey Mask and Chainsaw: Fitting his typical Serial Killer theme, Slim Shady has an inbuilt emote where he can don a hockey mask, and he's armed with a chainsaw as a pickaxe. The chainsaw and hockey mask is more stylised than his typical look outside of Fortnite.
Mythology Gag: Most of Eminem's eras get represented here in some form:
- The Slim Shady LP — Shady's writing on the chainsaw and boombox Back Bling resembles his signature on the album cover.
- The Marshall Mathers LP — Shady's Hockey Mask and Chainsaw emote originated from Eminem's Iconic Outfit at his live shows from this time; his dance emote shows him dancing to the hook of "The Real Slim Shady", his Signature Song from this era.
- The Eminem Show — Rap Boy is a sleeker, redesigned version of Eminem's Robin parody costume from the video for "Without Me".
- 8 Mile — The Mom's Spaghetti Back Bling references the "Lose Yourself" lyric.
- Recovery — Rap Boy's pose in his render is the pose Eminem struck in a famous promotional photograph for "Not Afraid".
- The Marshall Mathers LP 2 — The boombox resembles the boombox from the music video for "Berzerk", as well as Eminem's stage set for his tour around this time and the boombox Eminem sold on his website for the album's 10th Anniversary.
- Kamikaze — Marshall's Raven Express glider has an alternative Nose Art livery modelled after the plane on the album cover.
- Music To Be Murdered By — The Marshall Never More skin resembles Eminem's outfit from the photoshoot and album art for this era, as well as his axes, which he's depicted holding on the album cover. The raven theme originated on the album cover of the Side B special edition.
Spirited Competitor: While more subtle than in most post-2010 appearances, the athlete side of Eminem's persona is represented here — his message to players on Icon Radio is to tell them to fight hard, and marketing text emphasizes Eminem as synonymous with greatness.
