Note: Dysfunction Junction applies to pretty much every single character listed here. Of course, it's a Justified Trope, due to the Psitanium, the fact several characters reside at an insane asylum, the social status of psychics... The world of Psychonauts also possesses an Amazing Technicolor Population in about half the cast.The Campers
Note: as a general rule, expect Most Writers Are Adults and aversions of Children Are Innocent to apply heavily here, with the exception of Dogen and with special emphasis on Nils and Elka. Also, by default, any and all shipping involving these characters as of their in-game ages or near will be a Toy Ship. Razputin "Raz" Aquato The game's protagonist. A circus boy from a family of gypsies who ran away from the circus, which was also his home, due to his father trying to suppress his latent psychic ability.
Lili Zanotto A veteran of the camp who falls in love in Razputin. She is later kidnapped by the brainwashed Linda and delivered to Dr Loboto in order to extract her brain. Raz rescues her, with help from Sasha and Milla.
Bobby Zilch The camp bully. Has Benny as his Dragon, and goes around organizing protection rackets, beating up other kids and generally being a Jerkass.
Dogen Boole Functions somewhat like a Captain Ersatz of Ralph Wiggum of The Simpsons in the camp. Raz's as-it-were best friend. Wears a tinfoil hat, since he has previously caused several incidents of Your Head A Splode (one of which was a single person's head exploding four times).
Benny Fideleo The Dragon to Bobby Zilch. Has very large ears and an irritating voice. Later, he gets held upside down in preparation for a "Deadly Nelson" by Mikhail.
Chloe Barge Strange girl in an astronaut's helmet who believes herself to be the stranded child of an alien race.
Clem Foote / Crystal Flowers Snagrash Two strange friends who are preparing for a dual ritual suicide and serve, bizarrely enough, as one of the most cheerful members of the camp, hence their role as its unofficial cheerleaders.
Elka Doom A boy-obsessed girl who recently broke up with Nils to chase after J.T. Explains her romantic life to a rather confused Dogen Boole, in what may be a Lampshade Hanging of her particular intense example of the campers case of Most Writers Are Adults.
Elton Fir A nervous, hydrophobic boy who ironically wears a sailor suit.
Franke Athens / Kitty Bubai Two girls who are almost never seen apart and pretty much are only nice to each other, being rather unkind to Raz and to all the other campers.
James "J.T." Theodore Hoofburger Southern-accented boy in a cowboy hat and outfit who plays the harmonica and has been dating Elka, who has been making him answer to his real name and wear his good chaps more often.
Maloof Canola Main target of the camp bullies (especially Bobby and Benny) who is adept at escaping from dangerous situations, and hands Raz his smelling salts for use if he wants to escape a mind and go back to the real world. Later organizes a deal with Mikhail, where Mikhail gets to beat up anyone who tries to pick on Maloof and, as a result, Maloof doesn't get picked on.
Melvin "Chops" Sweetwind Chops is a nice, cool Canadian kid from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan who is into acoustic-guitar playing and a friend of J.T. He fears that their friendship would be short lived with Elka striking it up with J.T., and it turns out his fears were well founded, as Elka warned him to stay away from J.T. Luckily for him, J.T. overheard their conversation from a nearby bush and broke it off with Elka to hang out with Chops again.
Mikhail "Misha" Bulgakov Boy from a land called Russia where their bears are different. He seeks to wrestle a "hairless bear", which is in actuality Linda. He teams up with Maloof as part of a deal to protect Maloof while getting the benefit of beating up his tormentors.
Milka Phage A girl adept at invisibility who developed this skill due to her mother not wanting to look at her, as it reminded her of Milka's father. Strikes up a romance with Elton, which sometimes uses Invisibility, to Raz's confusion.
Nils Lutefisk A Seemingly Wholesome Fifties Boy, Kid Anova and Casanova Wannabe all rolled up into one Most Writers Are Adults package.
Phoebe Love / Quentin Hedgemouse Phoebe is the drummer, while Quentin is the DJ in the as-of-yet unnamed band created by the two, a name for which is greatly debated between them. The band also briefly included Chops and J.T. on guitar and harmonica respectively. Both of them had only joined the band as a cover to stay together and, in J.T.'s case, to avoid Elka. They left when Bobby and Benny expressed their desire to join. Kitty has been listed as a vocalist, but it's unknown if she ever got in.
Vernon Tripe A dull, monotonous (both literally and metaphorically) boy with a penchant for telling overly long shaggy dog stories (which may be literal, as many of them involve his deceased dog Lady, who may have been shaggy). He possesses virtually no friends, aside from his one-sided desire for Franke.
The counselors who teach at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp are all Psychonauts, either current or retired. Morceau Oleander The camp's chief counselor, coach and Basic Braining instructor. A short, Mr Potato Head like man in military uniform possessing a baton and pickelhaube, he operates like a modern day Patton, with strong elements of The Napoleon thrown in.
Ford Cruller The camp's resident Cool Old Guy. Has a variety of personas (due to his mind being destroyed in a psychic duel and the psitanium deposit only keeping his mind together at close distances, such as those within his sanctuary), among which are that of the local docksman, the camp janitor, the camp ranger and the camp salesman/cook.
Milla Vodello A Brazilian party girl known as the Mental Minx, this sexy spy is known for both her levitation skills and being able to throw wild parties. She's also a kind soul who loves working with kids. She's partners with Sasha Nein.
Sasha Nein Son of a cobbler, this German superspy seems woefully mismatched with his partner, the obnoxiously colorful Milla Vodello. He displays almost no emotion, though he seems to have a weird sense of humor buried deep down. He takes an interest in Raz's psychic abilities and offers him special training.
Dr Caligosto Loboto, DDS A Depraved Dentist, Evil Genius and Mad Scientist, Dr Caligosto Loboto is the apparent main villain of the game, and the administrator of Thorney Towers at the time of the game. While details on his past are scarce, he had apparently been hauled into another asylum for his depraved dentistry and escaped to the abandoned Thorney Towers, which he took over and used under the directive of Coach Oleander in a plot to build an army of psychic death tanks.
Crispin Whytehead The Dragon to Dr. Loboto and the orderly of Thorney Towers. Was once an inmate under Fred's orderly station, but turned the tables by driving Fred mad by beating him at a game of Waterloo-o. Is half blind.
Boyd Cooper A Cloudcuckoolander Conspiracy Theorist who once had a job as a department store guard, but was fired, resulting in him going crazy and burning down the store, and being taken into an asylum. Later, he's approached by Coach Oleander to become the Asylum's guard, and the one to potentially destroy the Asylum in his "Milkman" persona to eliminate all evidence of Oleander and Loboto's scheme.
Gloria von Gouten An aspiring musical starlet who was sent by her cruel mother to the Hagatha Home School For Girls, under an Evil Matriarch and numerous bullies who made her life miserable, making her all the more glad to leave the school and rise to her career. She snapped when she received news of her mother commiting suicide by jumping off an apartment roof due to her own fame and success having eclipsed hers, developing a severe case of bipolar disorder and landing her in Thorney Towers.
Fred Bonaparte A descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte, who, after repeatedly losing games of Waterloo-o to Crispin in his former job as an orderly, went insane and was possessed by the angry genetic memory of his ancestor, who forced him to become a great tactician (ironically in a mental game of Waterloo-o).
Edgar Teglee Aspiring artist and high school wrestling team captain left heartbroken after his love, Lana Pazoni, a cheerleader, rejected him in favour of the head of the cheerleading squad, Dean LaGrant. As a result, he didn't have it in him to complete the state semi-finals. At some point, he was inducted into Thorney Towers for his obsession with painting and bulls. He tries to paint masterpieces, but always ruins them at the last moment by going into a rage and painting a matador and bull over them.
Sheegor A hunchbacked (young?) girl, Dr. Loboto's assistant - not willingly, as she despises what he's doing and yet has to help him, as not only is she terrified of him, he's holding her pet turtle Mr. Pokeylope hostage and will kill him if she doesn't cooperate.
Linda, the Hideous Hulking Lungfish of Lake Oblongota An enormous, mutated lungfish who lives in Lake Oblogota, she was a peaceful creature until she was kidnapped, mutated, and turned into an enormous beast by Coach Oleander. She collects children for Dr. Loboto's experiments until being liberated by Raz.
Augustus Aquato Raz's father, and The Faceless for most of the game. He hates psychics, and Raz ran away to escape him. However, Raz is going to have to go home sooner or later, and he'll have to confront his father in the process. And more than that...
The G-Men Mysterious characters who are products of Boyd's paranoid mind mixed with its natural defence systems, seeking to find and remove the Milkman programming that Coach Oleander implanted in Boyd's brain. Use objects in an attempt to disguise themselves as members of different professions, even housewives.
The Rainbow Squirts An Ancient Conspiracy of girl scouts designed to protect the Milkman, obfuscate his true nature and help fulfill his mission. They are opposed to the G-Men.
