In General

Season 1's Crew, Clockwise starting from top: Ivan, Christian, Chilly, Curt, and Den

Season 2's Crew, from Left to Right: Ivan, Christian, Den, Curt, Kristine

The Team itself.

---

• Anti-Hero Team: The group at large is selfish, frequently puts each other in danger, and can't agree on anything to save their lives, quite literally at points! Though they'll occasionally do the right thing in spite of this.
• Author Appeal: They all tend to have favored elements when hosting scenarios. The only exception is Den, whose scenarios ran the gamut in terms of elements.
  • Curt tends to favor IP's with Anime or Visual Novel elements, as well as turn-based RPG's and indie-horror projects.
  • Ivan tends to prefer using the Excuse Plot of the crew being on an "all-expense paid" trip, and railroads the others into following a more linear narrative.
  • Christian splits his scenarios between RPG style video games that are either open-world or extremely difficult, and various personality tests and psychological studies to examine the members of the crew and their behaviors.
  • Chilly favored scenarios that required teamwork as a major element, or were an Excuse Plot to justify tormenting the crew for the crap they put her through.
• Author Avatar: All of them act as more exaggerated versions of their respective selves.
• Ax-Crazy: All of them to some degree have built up a considerable body count, and none of them are all to averse to causing a bit of mayhem or solving their problems with violence.
• Berserk Button: The word "high school" is enough to set them off and immediately complain.
  [One Instance]
  Chilly: You four are in high school—
  Ivan: GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
  Christian: No! Whyyyyy?
  [As Ivan and Christian say that, Curt and Den are banging on a locker in defeat and curled up crying on the floor respectively]

  [Another Instance]
  Den: The five of us are in high school!
  Ivan, Curt and Christian: [Simultaneously Screaming] NOOOOO!!!
  Chilly: Recreyo out!
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: No matter how many heinous actions they commit, they'll largely be forgotten by the next episode, with any references to prior events mainly getting shrugged off by everyone involved.
• Butt-Monkey: None of them usually come out of an episode unscathed, and even when they do, they'd likely have made a fool of themselves in the process regardless.
• Catchphrase: All collectively call each other "Loser" or "Loooooser" when someone is given an undesirable role or power in the story narrative.
• The Chew Toy: Chilly and Ivan tend to get screwed with the most, even in their own scenarios where they should normally be untouchable.
• Collective Groan: No matter who's playing, everyone instantly dreads the words "High School" the moment it's spoken if the narrator makes the scenario take place there. They have a similar reaction with map games.
• Character Narrator: All of them at some point take on the role, hosting their own scenarios depending on the episode which they gleefully put their friends through. As of current, not counting scenarios split into multiple videos, Ivan has the most with 35, followed by Curt and Den with 33, Christian with 32, Chilly did 17 before departing, Kristine with 4, and Recreyo-chan with 1.
• Dirty Coward: Whenever a situation actually gets potentially dangerous, they'll all quickly switch their priorities over to looking out for themselves first and foremost. Whenever they do put someone's safety ahead of their own, it usually ends poorly anyways.
• The Ditz: To call them a group of idiots would be an insult to idiots. They regularly make stupid decisions, forget important details, and act like they lack brains on most occasions. Curt largely averts this thanks to being the Only Sane Man most of the time, but isn't immune to doing dumb shit, and Christian tends to be a Genius Ditz as while he is intelligent in a variety of subjects, his lackadaisical attitude and willingness to do dumb shit for Rule of Funny makes him come off as just as dumb as the others.
• Everyone Has Standards: As much as they love insulting each other, there are some lines that none of them will cross. For example, they spend most of "Can They Pilot a Gundam?" using the questions they're asked to taunt each other... until they get to the question "who is most likely to die alone?" This makes the entire group uncomfortable, and all of them refuse to give an answer. This ends up being the one question they all seriously agree on.
• Everyone Is a Suspect: After Den's mysterious murder in "Can They Find The Killer?", it's quickly realized everyone else in Recreyo is a suspect; Curt booked the location, Christian arrived early, Ivan didn't send out the extra invites, and Chilly took out the internet. It was none of them. Den staged the whole thing as a trust-building exercise. Unfortunately, this led to Ivan killing Chilly for real.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Have an impossibly difficult time comprehending when somebody is just being nice; they're almost always quick to assume they either have a deeper, underlying motivation for it, or that it'll fade with time.
• Flanderization: The more the episodes go on, the more their cruelty, selfishness, and overall lack of intelligence come to light. Best exemplified in "Which Harry Potter House Are You?" where three of them (Den, Chilly and Ivan) qualify to be in Slytherin and absolutely no one identifies as a Ravenclaw.
  Curt: If this has taught us anything, the whole Recreyo cast doesn't care about intelligence and I think that's valid.
  Ivan: We snakes bro!
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: Christian is sanguine, Curt is melancholic, Ivan is choleric, Den is leukine, and Chilly is phlegmatic.
• Freudian Trio: Christian is The McCoy, Ivan is The Kirk, and Curt is The Spock, though that'll vary between episodes.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Played for laughs.
  • Nobody seems to treat Chilly with much respect, with the group sometimes going out of their way to try and get her killed during the sessions. Even episodes where it'd be best to keep her around, there will almost always be at least one attempt to either get rid of her or sacrifice her.
  • Ivan is generally the member to get most actively called out by the others for his behavior, being seen as far greedier than the others and also far dumber, leading to them not giving him much respect in turn. The other members even intentionally attack him during several JRPG scenarios. After Chilly leaves the group, Ivan becomes this even moreso, typically being the one who gets knocked around when not narrator, and pissing off the others with his railroading when he is narrator.
• The Hero: In some scenarios one of the members will be given the role of the main protagonist from whichever scenario they’re doing, such as Chilly taking Ichigo’s role in “Can You Survive Bleach?”.
• Genre Savvy: Everyone to some degree has an awareness of the common tropes in fiction, which often come in handy during the games.
• Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Well, when they bother trying to be heroic that is.
• Informed Attribute: Downplayed. The Recreyo crew is a Multinational Team and this is readily apparent when looking at the actual team, it's rather hard to tell when going only by the animations for the scenarios, the monochrome coloration making it impossible to tell based on skin color, with even Curt, who is Black, having uncolored skin like everyone else, leaving the fact they are certain ethnicities something only noticeable in the scenarios when they outright say it or cut to live-action.
• It's All About Me: When facing any sort of difficult situation, it becomes clear fairly quickly that they're all out for themselves.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: All of of them (except occasionally Curt), are Selfish assholes, but they do care about each other and they'll occasionally to the right thing.
• Karma Houdini: Whenever one of them acts as The Narrator of the episode, they'll inevitably get away with anything and everything that happens throughout it. Usually.
• Kick the Dog: Far too many to count...
• Lack of Empathy: They generally don't care all too much about how their actions affect each other, their guests, or any others they meet along the way.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: For all their flaws, the team often stands in a better light than the antagonistic forces they face every episode.
• Mad Libs Catchphrase: Both Ivan and Christian would say something along the lines of "___-er? I barely know her!" much to the dismay of everyone else. A more general example is the group's many iterations of Deez Nuts jokes usually targeted at the narrator or antagonists.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: The Recreyo team is often shown to be made up of selfish, self-destructive jerks who often cause untold chaos amongst themselves. The actual team has all been shown to be kind, decent people.
• Morality Pet: Any of the guests they meet along the way. While they're all generally awful to each other, they go pretty out of their way to treat them with something resembling respect and kindness.
• Multinational Team: The group consists of the Jordanian-American Chilly, the Token Black Curt, and the Filipino-American Ivan, Christian, and Den, the former two being American-born, and the latter born and raised in the Philippines until moving to the US when she was in High School. While this initially seemed to be downplayed following Chilly's departure and Kristine's joining, suggesting the group was now largely consisting of Filipino-Americans with Curt being the only outlier, "Debunking Childhood Myths" had Kristine reveal she learned from her dad during a drunken stupor that she's not actually Filipino despite being raised as such most of her life, she's mixed Chinese-Spanish.
• Never Bareheaded: Curt, Den, and Chilly are never seen without their signature headwear: baseball caps for the former, panda hat for the latter.
• Never My Fault: Very rarely will any of them own up to any of the mistakes they make on their adventures.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The dynamic between the three boys; Christian's the nice, Ivan's the mean, and Curt's the in-between.
• Not His Sled: Many of the scenarios are based on existing IP's, and while several try to adhere to The Stations of the Canon, several have been known to change certain details so as to catch the crew off guard.
  • Invoked in Curt's scenario "Can You Survive Demon Slayer?", where Curt takes the role of Nezuko. He declares he's changing the script since he likes being a demon, so he runs off and becomes a complete demon unlike Nezuko, with the four Recreyo members acting as survivors of the Kamado clan and wanting revenge on Curt rather than Muzan as a result.
  • Kristine's very first scenario is "Can You Survive Another?", where she tasks the crew with identifying who among five candidates is the "extra" of the class, the options being Mei Misaki, Reiko Mikami, Naoya Teshigawara, Izumi Akazawa, and Shoji Kubodera. The canon "extra" of the class, Reiko Mikami, is the third candidate killed, and results in Ivan getting killed for picking the wrong one. Kristine instead has the "extra" be Shoji Kubodera, the first character to be killed by the curse narrative wise, and reveals they are the "extra" only after all of Recreyo dies getting it wrong.
  • Den's scenario "We Found a Secret in this Cabin.." follows the initial setup until the point in which the crew picks an Artifact of Doom. Instead of picking "The Diary of Patience Buckner" and releasing the Buckner Family, they pick the "Orb Puzzle", and release Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain. Due to only facing one monster, only Kristine and Curt die initially, the former by Fornicus, the latter by trying to jump the ravine. Ivan, "The Virgin" of the group, in turn decides to go through with killing Christian and Den to save the world, averting it's destruction like in the film.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Played with overall. With the exception of Christian, all the members of Recreyo go by shortened versions of their YouTube handles when doing scenarios: "Chilly" for ChillyPanda, "Curt" for CurtRichy, "Ivan" for Ivan Animated, and "Den" for CypherDen. Aside from Chilly however, said shortened versions also happen to double as shortened versions of their real names: Curtis Richardson, Ivan, and Dennise Andrea Casurra. Christian is the only flat out subversion, as his handle is "Frugal Aesthetic", but rarely goes by that, only doing so due to the One-Steve Limit when a guest shares his name.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Christian and Ivan serve as the Red Oni to Den and Curt's Blue Oni, with Chilly largely fluctuating depending on the situation. Though more often than not, these roles can swiftly be twisted on their head depending on how the group reacts to each individual situation.
• Signing-Off Catchphrase: One member usually ques the outro by saying "Recreyo, Out!". Initially, this was something largely exclusive to Chilly, but even when she was around there were occasionally others who used it. Following her departure, it's said by whoever the Guest-Star Party Member is, or the crew uses it interchangeably, though Kristine tends to use it the most.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: The group is a Dysfunction Junction on a normal day, but there's some notable dynamics reminiscent of this anyway.
  • Ivan is Den's, as she regularly tries stabbing him, at least Once an Episode, seemingly for no reason. Den claims it's because Ivan nearly killed her dog, but with how rarely it's brought up and how Ax-Crazy Den is depicted as, it's just as easily him being her favorite target.
  • Chilly was Curt's, Curt being the one most often annoyed by her antics. Even when she is The Friend Nobody Likes, the others can at least be nice to her on occasion and can get along with her. Curt meanwhile would rather be killed by an Enderman than compliment her, and ends up being the happiest whenever Chilly gets killed in a scenario.
• Team Pet: They gain an adorable dog in "Can They Survive Mortal Kombat" that reappears in a few other episodes... but they can’t seem to agree on whether his name is "Wavy Paws" or "Shady Paws".
• This Is Gonna Suck: The crew tends to hate certain elements that show up in scenarios more than others, and if they come up, you can expect them to start moaning. Said elements include scenarios involving High School, having to do a map game of some kind, or being on an "all-expense paid" trip in any of Ivan's scenarios.
• Two Girls to a Team: Den and Chilly are the only recurring female members on the team (not including special guests) until the latter's departure. Kristine would later take Chilly's place so the trope still applies.
• True Companions: Though a very confused, dysfunctional, backstabbing group as a whole, they're certainly a fellowship of some kind.
• Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: A group of idiots, con-artists, saboteurs, and jerks actively attempting to screw each other over whenever possible.

Current Members

Den

CypherDen/Dennise Andrea Casurra

"Sorry buddy!"

The Ax-Crazy and stab happy member of the group.

---

• Apathetic Student: Is the least enthused or interested in anything school or education-related between her, Chilly, and Ivan.
• The Alcoholic: Frequently found drinking from a bottle.
• Ax-Crazy: Den is the most openly violent member of the group, with her go-to response to most situations being to stab something or someone, usually Ivan. Thoroughly lampshaded during "Can You Survive Home Sweet Home" after the group finds a weapons cache in her apartment, including an actual axe, much to the shock of everyone but Chilly, who is too busy gushing over Den's katana and flamethrower.
  Curt: We can always count on you and violence.
  Christian: Is the landlord okay with this shit? What the fuck? Yo, are we getting our security deposit back?
  Den: Definitely not.
  Curt: It's right next to the bed because Den wakes up and chooses violence everyday.
  Ivan: They said no pets, but there's like a battle axe just hanging on the wall, that's nuts.
• Badge Gag: When she shows off her school ID, her gender is shown to be "Taco" while her height is "???".
• Girls with Moustaches: Seemingly grew quite the mustache during her time as a wizard.
• Happily Married: She's in a loving marriage with her husband George, who occasionally cameos and is regularly brought up by others whenever Den gets another crush on someone in a scenario.
• Inept Mage: Den is frequently shown to possess some degree of magical ability, being capable of turning people into Oompa-Loompas and being a wizard tutor with otherworldly friends. This does not mean she's a particularly good mage though...
• In the Hood: Wears a hood throughout the entirety of "Can They Escape Virtual Reality?".
• Language Barrier: Being raised in the Philippines until she came to the US at High School age, she openly admits English isn't her first language and can get things mixed up as a result. This comes up in "Can You Survive Dead by Daylight?" when Chilly asked a question about what Recreyo would consider the best way for a steak to be prepared, the guys all respond "Medium Rare", but Den misunderstood the question as the method on how to cook the steak, responding oven.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Downplayed, but she regularly falls for any waifus or husbandos she finds in the scenarios, a minor Running Gag being her throwing her phone at those she's attracted to as a result of Love Makes You Dumb. Notable cases include Emilia, Katsuki Bakugo, and Catherine.
• Mean Boss: During her stint as Willy Wonka, Den couldn't care less that the Oompa-Loompas were dead, having no issue replacing them with the visiting members of Recreyo.
• Not Worth Killing: Den, during the Invincible episode, chooses not to kill Ivan much like how her character did in the original, though the reason being that she was disappointed in his fighting prowess.
• Out-of-Character Moment: Spends "Can They Escape A Crisis Bunker?" being the most passive of the group, seemingly content staying in the bunker playing board games for the rest of her life. This, predictably, leaves Chilly and Ivan shocked.
• Out of Focus: In "Can They Escape Virtual Reality?".
• Pet the Dog: Admits that Chilly is perhaps the smartest member of Recreyo (sans herself) in "Can They Become Wizards?". Granted, this was intended more as a jab at the rest of the team, but still, it gets points.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She's been noted to be pretty short...which doesn't stop her from beating the likes of Randy Orton or a Mummy.
• Plucky Comic Relief: Acts as one throughout "Can They Escape Virtual Reality?".
• Poor Communication Kills: Her barely putting the effort in to try and sway Chilly to her side is exactly what gets both of them killed in "Can They Guess The Traitor?", as it causes Chilly to instead believe the saboteur (Ivan).
• Race Against the Clock: The main plot of "Can They Become Wizards?" is that she's dying in an hour, and thus needs to speed along the final tests of the rest of Recreyo to become wizards. Expectedly, she dies at the end of the episode.
• Rose-Haired Sweetie: Nah. She might have pink hair, but she's just as selfish and destructive as the rest of the crew.
• Series Mascot: While the group often jokes about Ivan being the "main character" or Curt running the channel, they're an Ensemble Cast overall, none of them having any more importance than the other. Den however tends to be used in marketing for the group, even being placed in the center of their Season 2 banner, and getting her own plushie.
• Skewed Priorities: As she's being dragged off to be killed by Springtrap, she's less focused on the fact she's gonna die, and more upset it stopped her from using the bathroom.
  Den: No! Noooo! Let me pee first!
• Sole Survivor: The ending of "Can They Escape A Crisis Bunker?" implies that she was the only member of Recreyo to survive the crisis, as she decided to stay in the bunker instead of face an apocalyptic world like Chilly and Ivan.
• Tomboyish Baseball Cap: Wears one, which only accentuates her more aggressive personality in comparison to Chilly.

Curt

CurtRichy/Curtis Richardson

"Are you kidding me?!"

The acerbic, snarky, Anime and Visual Novel loving member.

---

• Achievements in Ignorance: An Invoked attempt at this! During "Can They Escape Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?", he intentionally never checked to see if he had the Golden Ticket, instead acting as he always does, allowing him to come across as far more natural than those around him, helping secure his win.
• Action Survivor: Has survived the most episodes of the Recreyo crew.
• And I Must Scream: At the end of "Aliens Are Real... Now What?", Recreyo-chan manages to successfully kidnap him, dragging her with him into a portal, then pretending to be him in the following episode "Can You Survive an SCP Containment Breach?". The immediate following episode, "Can You Survive The Manananggal?", sees him trapped within the glitches periodically appearing and screaming for the others to save him, but going unnoticed for the whole episode.
• Black Comedy Rape: A lot of comedy is had at the fact Curt is impregnated by the Morp Morp Impregnatron in "Can They Survive Rick and Morty?", with the others focused on literally anything other than helping him.
• Black Dude Dies First: Inverted hard. Curt is so aware of the trope, that throughout "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?", his motivation is making sure he just doesn't die first. He succeeds, ultimately surviving the episode.
• Bound and Gagged: Minus the gag, but Recreyo-chan keeps him chained up after kidnapping him and taking his place, as revealed in an audio clip found on an ARG website connected to her. This being Curt, he points out the fucked up connotations in having the Token Black guy be restrained with chains.
  Curt: Also, you know it's kinda fucked up to do chains on the one— ok.
• Brutal Honesty: Will not keep how he's feeling from anyone, let alone the rest of Recreyo, who regularly try his patience.
• Bystander Syndrome: When faced with any sort of conflict, Curt often prefers ignoring it entirely and acting as if nothing could have been done.
• Catchphrase: LET'S GOOOO!!!
• Deadpan Snarker: While every member of Recreyo has their moments, he has undeniably the sharpest tongue of the group, and is often the most likely to make snarky jokes at the other's expense.
• Dissonant Serenity: Curt is eerily calm and collected during "Can You Survive an SCP Containmet Breach?", not once raising his voice or getting angry. It's because it's not Curt, it's Recreyo-chan pretending to be him after kidnapping him the episode prior.
• Failed Attempt at Drama: Scenario variant. Many of Curt's scenarios try to go for a tone matching that of the IP, or something along the lines of drama filled with tension, Curt himself acting in a similar manner while very rarely corpsing. These efforts end up failing though due to the rest of the crew screwing around and not taking things seriously, chief example being the final battle with Recreyo-chan, with only Curt treating as the legitimate threat that wants them all dead she's meant to be, contrasted with Den and Christian once again trying to screw over Ivan, and Kristine's general insanity only bemusing or grossing out everyone.
  Curt: I beg of y'all to take this seriously once, please!
  Den: (As she and Christian are prepariny to attack Ivan) We're taking it seriously!
• Gaslighting: Curt can be very convincing with his words, and can talk circles around people enough that they end up thinking what he wants them to think. He even says in "Are YOU Toxic?" that, while it's a Running Gag that Christian gaslights people, he's the actual gaslighter of the group.
  Christian: Curt's so good at gaslighting, that he's gaslit the audience to think it's me.
• Hope Spot: During the "Can You Survive Kingdom Hearts" scenario, he is initially ecstatic when Sethical and Kristine demonstrate actual interest in progressing the scenario and demonstrating tactics in contrast to Den and Christian screwing around and dicking over Ivan, only for that excitement to be dashed when both decide to screw around too for the sake of making funny content.
• Ignored Expert: Curt tends to be very aware of tropes in horror movies, and as a result knows what not to do if any of them come up, instead advocating they just leave outright. Despite his regular protests though, he's either ignored by everyone else in his party, or railroaded by the narrator to make sure the scenario continues. When he's proven right, he's not afraid to say I Told You So.
  Curt: (After Chilly is stabbed by a monster) Yeah, maybe we should have went back, but, uh, that seems like it was on you, so... I- I feel No Sympathy, that really was a personal mistake.
• Misplaced Retribution: A victim of it during Season 2. After numerous episodes begin displaying constant glitching due to what's heavily implied to be Recreyo-chan's interference, Curt ends up taking the brunt of the blame due to being the one who approves the final edits on the videos before they are uploaded to the main channel, despite the videos seeming perfectly fine when he goes to upload them. This culminated in the initial upload for "Can They Survive Five Nights At Freddy's 4" being completely glitched out at the 0:36 second mark, necessitating a redone version be released a week later that still had some glitches, Curt issuing a public statement that the initial version was a "rendering error", and releasing an apology video for all the glitches where he makes clear he feels bad about everything, and that all episodes will be released bi-weekly from then on until he can fix this glitching. A Freeze-Frame Bonus of the Discord for the members of Recreyo even shows the other members blaming Curt for the issues, Christian in particular thinking it's Curt's idea of a prank and not finding it funny.
  cypherden: today's video was completely off? @CurtRichy what happened? I took it down :o
  k.fel: O whats happening?
  Ivan Animated: Am I bugging out or is this the worst one yet? LOL
  Ivan Animated: [Re: k.fel] Today's video is just all static
  frugal ass: dude you're dropping the ball @CurtRichy
  at this point i think youre fucking with us and adding them yourself. the joke is over. you didnt miss a blatant 12 minutes of static
  CurtRichy: I stg its it was fine on upload, like I triple checked that shit.
  frugal ass: nah clearly you didnt
  Ivan Animated: Ya I mean its fine, but maybe just make sure you're uploading the right version?
  cypherden: I don't think we can afford to have to put up a video and delete it again u_u
• Mistaken for Racist: In "Are You Psychic", Curt is tasked with answering a question based on how he thinks Den would answer, and see if the answer he picked is what Den picked, the question being "What is the perfect meal?". Curt had picked his answer thinking Den could either answer seriously, or jokingly, and decided to pick the latter... only to realize after picking it that if he's wrong, he'll come across as racist. The answer he picked was "Jolly Crispy Chickenjoy Bucket Treat B", but Den picked differently, making Curt look racist for picking a JolliBee answer.^ExplanationJolliBee is a Filipino fast food chain, and Den is a Filipino native who moved to the United States as a teenager. Making matters worse is how he had a shout session over Christian possibly picking an answer for him that was chicken related and in turn being racist, making him look like a hypocrite.^ExplanationAfrican-Americans are stereotyped as loving fried chicken. So Curt jokes that he now has to quit Recreyo to spare them from being cancelled for his choice in answer.
• Mister Seahorse: Curt gets impregnated by the Morp Morp Impregnatron in "Can They Survive Rick and Morty?" for refusing to give his Hell Cannon to Ronnie, spending the majority of the episode visibly pregnant.
  Den: So you guys have Fanmade Parody Rick, a dog with a subspace belly, an army of Raptor-patties-
  Curt: And Pregnant Black Guy.
• Not Helping Your Case: In "Can You Survive Wednesday Addams?", when the group is tasked with identifying who among them is the monster, everyone believes it's Curt due to his being the shapeshifter and being the only member to not go in the mansion with the rest of them. Curt is adamant it isn't him though and tries coming up with counterarguments, but ends up making himself look guiltier by agreeing with the evidence that points towards him^*Ivan and Kristine both received a clue from Den, Ivan's stating "Occam's Razor", and Kristine's stating "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is hiding in plain sight", Curt agreeing that, as the shapeshifter, the monster being him would fit both clues. and then undermining his own argument that Christian had controlled him. He was being entirely honest though, as Ivan was the monster. As Christian himself put it:
  Christian: Curt went "I did an investigation on myself and found myself not guilty!" — This mothafucker walked into- he walked into himself! (Accompanied by visual of Curt willingly walking himself into a jail cell while saying it wasn't him)
• Not Himself: "She Fed Us PEOPLE" would see Curt acting very erratic and unstable. While previous horror scenarios would see Curt acting as the Ignored Expert and acting snarkier than anything, Curt is much more freaked out during the scenario based on The Menu, being a Mood-Swinger and having a full on breakdown over the "Breadless Bread Plate" Den serves, to the point the others think he hit his head or something. It's heavily implied he's being adversely affected by Recreyo-chan, as when he tries blinking an SOS to the coastguard, Recreyo-chan's symbol appears in his left eye much it appeared in SCP-049's eye.
  Curt: (Speaking into a radio) HEEEE- Help me! People are getting eaten, and not in the fun way. We gotta get outta here bro!
• Only Sane Man: Downplayed. He's generally the only member of the team to think with any sort of consistent logic, but is just as prone to doing stupid shit when he's not going into an anger-fueled shoutfest.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Curt normally hates Ivan's railroading just as much as the others. In "Can You Survive Minecraft?" though, after he gets killed fighting an Enderman and Ivan wants to jump straight to the Ender Dragon, Curt begins trying to force Chilly to do so, being that pissed off at her getting him killed by an Enderman because she wanted him to "experience" Minecraft.
• Pyrrhic Victory: Technically wins "Can They Escape Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?", but is left feeling empty at the fact since the others are forced to stay behind.
• Rage Quit: Curt has twice tried to have scenarios involving turn-based RPG's and having the crew work together, only for the group to end up screwing around and derailing the whole thing, typically at Ivan's expense when he's the only one trying to actually do the scenario, even after he tries to give assistance to get things back on track.
  • In "Can You Survive Demon Slayer''", everyone was more focused on screwing with Ivan's corpse after Christian killed him for one mistake, prompting Curt to revive Ivan hoping that would fix things... only for Ivan to turn on the others and join the demons.
  • With "Can You Survive Kingdom Hearts", while Sethical and Kristine initially tried to keep things on track in spite of Den and Christian's screwing around, they too would end up joining in on the mayhem despite Curt giving all the tips he could. This became the final kicker in him swearing off doing any more scenarios like that ever again for his own sanity.
  Curt: We're never doing this again, that was terrible!
• Robbing the Dead: Curt has no issue with robbing corpses, regardless of whether they're in a grave, or if they're a zombie.
• The Smart Guy: Acts as this for Recreyo; he's usually is the first of the group to solve anything that's puzzle-based, he keeps a level head more often than the others, and he tends to be left baffled by the rest of the group's stupidity.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Curt tends to be the most acerbic of the group and the one most likely to start shouting when pissed off, which is often. He's also admitted to having very low self esteem and poor mental health. "Are YOU Toxic?" in particular has him confide in the group that he has social anxiety and would more likely change himself just to be accepted by others.
  Curt: I am in perpetual turmoil, at all times!
• Suddenly Shouting: Curt is the one most likely to start shouting at the others, largely when he's Enraged by Idiocy.
• Token Black: Something he is fully aware of, and won't hesitate to point out the stereotypes and tropes pertaining to it, especially if a scenario is happening during February, aka "Black History Month".
• Unsatisfiable Customer: In spite of being given a free trip there, Curt is the most outwardly miserable while at Raptor Park, criticizing every aspect around him (from the number of raptors the park has to the names of their staff) while constantly demanding a refund, again, for their free trip.
  • Inverted at the end, citing the experience as a net positive since Christian found love (though died), Chilly is a God (though lost her arm), and he's alive.

Ivan

Ivan Animated/Ivan

"Ah, shit!"

The greedy, short, and useless member.

---

• Acquired Situational Narcissism: Played with. While Ivan always has a bit of an ego, in others' scenarios it's largely tempered by him being the Butt-Monkey and the narrators keeping him down to Earth. When he's the narrator though, he becomes a Control Freak and brushes off any issues the others have with him and his railroading, frequently taunting them about how he's in control too.
  Ivan: (During the Minecraft scenario) Fuck off Curt, I'm in "Creative Mode", you can't touch me.
• An Arm and a Leg: Has his arm chopped off after getting bitten by a zombie.
• Ass Shove: Happens to him in "Can They Escape A Parallel Dimension", where Christian shoves his numbered key up his butthole before unlocking 4/5 of the door they need to go through to advance.
• The Bad Guy Wins: Ultimately the Sole Survivor of "Can They Guess The Traitor?" and the winner of the Loudspeaker's Deadly Game.
• Big Bad:
  • Of "Can They Survive This High School?" and "Can They Guess The Traitor?", being the traitor of the group.
  • Of "Can They Escape Virtual Reality?", being responsible for placing the group into the trials, fully knowing that they could potentially die.
• Boring, but Practical: In turn-based RPG scenarios like Curt's, Ivan tends to actually focus on attacking the enemy rather than just dicking around like the others. While that helps them progress through the scenarios, the other Recreyo members call him boring for it since it's not adhering to the Rule of Funny.
  Curt: Ivan protecting his life and defeating everyone: "You're so boring."
• Butt-Monkey: If Chilly's not being made fun of, he is. He's regularly taunted by the rest of Recreyo, placed in dangerous situations by villains and monsters, and made a fool out of. Not that it isn't usually deserved. He can't even get away with anything while acting as The Narrator, often finding his plots derailed or having his life threatened by the others due to not taking him seriously.
• Cool Shades: Wears them in all the promotional artwork.
• Depending on the Artist: He's sometimes drawn without his shades due to the rotating animators for the episodes.
• The Ditz: Tends to overlook important details or get completely lost in a conversation with no idea what to say or do, usually ending in him screaming about how confused he is.
• Epic Fail: According to "Can they Pilot a Gundam?", Ivan somehow managed to forget to invite Tabbes to her own birthday party! Den brings it up to everyone else's shock upon learning of it, and Ivan's only defense is that he was so excited for the party itself that he just flat out forgot to invite the birthday girl. But hey, at least she got the invite eventually, right?
• Everyone Has Standards: Refuses to loot somebody's body, unless they're already dead.
• He-Man Woman Hater: Parodied and Played for Laughs. Ivan is not misogynistic, but he has a bad habit of Open Mouth, Insert Foot, making comments that can easily come across as such. As a result, it's a minor Running Gag that Ivan is the "misogynist" of the group.
• Height Angst: He's the shortest member out of the Recreyo Crew which the rest like to point out and make fun of often.
  [Upon hearing Chilly and Christian are outstanding members of society in the "Can You Survive Batman?" scenario]
  Ivan: I didn't know the bar was so low.
  Chilly: Hey, I'm taller than you! [Leans arm on Ivan's head]
  Christian: Yeah, the bar might be low but you can still stand under it cuz you're short as shit!
• The Hero: In many scenarios based on intellectual properties where Ivan isn't acting as The Narrator, he'll be cast in the role of the main character of that IP. Whether or not said character fits Ivan tends to vary, but more often than not said character will be a Cosmic Plaything or go through some kind of tragedy, causing Ivan to become the Butt-Monkey yet again. He is jokingly called the "Main Character" of Recreyo by the others as a result.
  • Downplayed in "Can They Survive Attack on Titan?", where he is cast as Armin Arlert. While Eren Yeager is the main protagonist, who Curt is cast as, Armin is the deuteragonist of the series, receives just as much focus as Eren thanks to his intelligence, and acts as the lead character amidst the heroes after Eren becomes a Villain Protagonist.
  • In "Can They Survive Evangelion?", Christian casts Ivan as Shinji Ikari, making him the pilot of Eva Unit-01 and saddling him with facing the Angel.
  • In "Can They Survive Invincible?", Ivan is cast as the titular character Invincible / Mark Grayson, which he realizes means he'll be forced to fight Den as Omni-Man. He tries to exploit the canonical ending of their fight to end the fight prematurely, but Den proves less remorseful than Nolan, so while she still leaves without killing Ivan, her reasoning is that she finds Ivan Not Worth Killing.
  • In "Can You Survive Persona 5?", Ivan is made the "Wild Card" of the group by Curt, and cast as Joker as a result, gaining his mask, initial Persona Arsene, and the ability to gain other Persona's.
  • In "Can You Survive Batman?", Ivan is cast as the titular Batman / Bruce Wayne, with Den taking on the role of The Joker and Curt as Two-Face, both trying to torture him via sadistic choices... only for Ivan to not give a shit.
  • In "Can You Survive Final Destination?", Ivan is cast as Alex Browning, being the one to have a premonition that the plane they're on will explode and getting everyone kicked off the plane.
  • Downplayed in "Can You Survive Demon Slayer?". While none of the crew are cast as specific characters, Ivan veers closest to taking the role of Tanjiro Kamado, wearing Tanjiro's outfit, using Water Breathing techniques, and undergoing demonization.
  • In "THE BOYS.", Ivan is cast as Hughie Campbell, his girlfriend getting killed by the Superhero A-Train, prompting him to join the titular group to get revenge.
  • Played with in "Can You Survive Kingdom Hearts?", Curt casts Ivan in the role of Sora, giving him the Kingdom Key and having Kairi being his Implied Love Interest. Ivan however finds the design of the Kingdom Key unappealing compared to the more detailed Keyblades the others have, so he trades the Kingdom Key to Sethical in exchange for his Way To The Dawn.^*Erroneously called Dawn Breaker As a result though, while Ivan keeps Sora's general look and ends up taking in Kairi's heart, Sethical takes the role of the main character and ends up the Sole Survivor of the group's encounter with Darkside.
  • In "We Found a Secret in this Cabin..", based on The Cabin in the Woods, Ivan is designated "The Virgin" by the shadowy Organization, making him the analogue to Dana Polk, in turn leaving him with the decision of killing his friends to appease the Ancient Ones. Unlike Dana, who hesitated in killing Marty long enough to be attacked by the Werewolf before she could do anything concrete, Ivan doesn't hesitate to kill Den and Christian so he can return to "pondering the orb".
• Hidden Depths: He's a doctor surprisingly enough! Not that he ever has a chance to show it. "What YouTubers Don't Tell You." would later explain he more accurately was a doctor, a pulmonologist specifically, but gave up that profession in favor of becoming an animator.
• Hoist by Their Own Petard: Several of his attempts at railroading end up getting screwed over by the crew members exploiting the very details in the scenario he wrote.
  • In "Can You Survive Harry Potter" and its sequel, he tries to make the crew participate in the Tri-Wizard Cup and tries making their attempts at circumventing his rules ineffective. Their Guest-Star Party Member however is Bryson/Haminations, a super fan of Harry Potter who knows all the lore and the perfect ways to flat out deny Ivan's attempts at stopping him while making sure he can't ignore the lore, effectively letting Bryson stage a Hostile Show Takeover and frustrating Ivan enough to rage quit.
  • In "WE BECAME MAGICAL GIRLS", after having used Kristine's chaotic nature to force the others into complying with the scenario to the point not even she wants to be involved anymore, the magic power he gives her allows her to teleport herself to anywhere she wants at the 25% risk of going to the Sahara Desert instead. Combined with her "wand" being a full scale car, and her power letting her take the others with her, she uses it to take them to the Sahara and out of the scenario entirely.
• Incest Subtext: Ivan has a habit of making incestual jokes and the like as Black Comedy, much to the disgust of the other members, to the point Curt threatens to kick him out of the Zoom call during "Siblings or Dating?" and later calling him disgusting for considering holding "auditions" for a sister in a thinly veiled attempt at hooking up. "Can You Survive M.I.L.F.?" would see this combined with his railroading when he forces Kristine to play the role of Girlfriend, despite the fact all of them are interested in Mommy Mearest, Ivan instead seeming excited at the idea of it and stating they were pretty much going the route of Game of Thrones.
• Insane Troll Logic: Part of Ivan's habit of railroading involves him using some... questionable logic behind his decisions, then rejecting any ideas the rest of the crew suggests instead while berating them for not seeing things his way. Whenever he tries offering that logic, the others predictably poke it full of holes, leading to him ignoring their complaints and moving on with the scenario. "Can You Survive Scream" best demonstrates this, as when he gives the layout of the mansion, he brushes off their criticism of the nonsensical design with "there's no logic to rich people", and when he later asks several questions so the crew can figure out the location of the Ghostface Killer, they call out how his answers have nonsensical logic, with him repeatedly asserting that they are wrong, his logic is correct, and that the comments will agree with him. A quick look at the comments however will reveal that is not true.
  @oddgirl2812: God Ivan's hints made me so mad, I can't tell at all what he means😂
  @tobberias: Who let Ivan cook with these rooms💀
  @dejEtack: Ivan: Gives hintes that can apply to multiple things. Also Ivan: How are you guys not getting these?!
• Jerkass: Played with. He is the most outwardly rude and least empathetic member of the group, and is regularly called out as an awful person even by the others standards. During scenarios where he isn't the narrator though, half the time his behavior comes as a result of the others shitting on him whenever he screws up, or blaming him for their own mistakes, most prevalently displayed in "Can You Survive Demon Slayer?".
• Kick the Dog: While waiting in line for the Tower of Terror, the man in front of him collapses onto the ground. His response is to step over the body and ignore it even happening.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Soon after stepping ahead of a collapsed man in order to get further ahead in line, he's attacked by the same man as a zombie and bitten on the arm.
• Lethal Chef: Only knows how to cook eggs and spam with any degree of success.
• The Load: Not necessarily as much as Chilly, but he's definitely not the most helpful member of the group.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Mixed with The Dog Bites Back in "Can You Survive Demon Slayer?". After he mistakenly tries healing the stunned Den thinking it would work like in Pokémon^*He was thinking of the item "Full Restore", which both heals HP and removes status ailments., Christian gets so pissed off he asks Den to buff him, then kills Ivan. As Den and Christian proceed to then screw with Ivan's corpse while Chilly tells his ghost to shut up, Curt decides to Throw the Dog a Bone, having Ivan be revived as a demon after Den buffed his corpse a third time. Ivan decides to get some payback as a result, using the buffs Den gave him to kill Den, stomp on Christian's corpse, and then join the Demons, shortly after killing Chilly.
  Den: Why would you attack me?! I buffed you how many times you bitch?!
  Ivan: You buffed Christian and you killed me!
• The Mole: Acts as one for the Loudspeaker in "Can They Survive This High School?" and "Can They Guess The Traitor?".
• Naked People Are Funny: It's a Running Gag that if given the opportunity or an excuse, Ivan will get naked for Rule of Funny. He spends the majority of "Can You Survive Love Death & Robots?" completely naked, something the others didn't even realize was still happening at first until he was the last one standing.
  Den: Is Ivan still naked?
  Ivan: YES!
  Christian: Ivan's been naked the whole time.
  Ivan: I haven't put on clothes at all.
  Curt: How did they let him in the Starbucks?!
• No Listening Skills: Has a hard time paying attention to much of anything when people are speaking to him.
• No Such Thing as H.R.: Subverted. A Running Gag is that whenever Ivan ends up doing something particularly gross or disturbing, the other members will ask where HR is when they need them... only to remember Ivan is the head of HR.
• Out of Character: Several of his scenarios often revolve around other members of Recreyo, mostly Curt, doing a certain action that serves as an inciting incident. Said members however would regularly call out that they would never do something like that and he's making them act OOC, while he just ignores them and keeps trying to push on. "Can You Survive Slender" for example has him state Curt, driving the rest of the crew and CircleToonsHD to a camping site, swerves out of the way of a dark figure in the middle of the road, causing them to crash into a tree and leaving them in the position to be in Slenderman's game. Curt however, as someone very Genre Savvy when it comes to horror movie tropes, makes clear he would never swerve out of the way, he'd just run the figure over and be done with it, with Ivan instead trying to talk over him and continue narrating.
• Railroading: Ivan's scenarios tend to usually have some form of this in them, particularly ones that involve the crew going on a trip of some kind since he's well aware they hate those setups, resulting in him either ignoring their decisions to leave, giving them "choices" that end in the same result, or just flat out making decisions for them as part of the "narrative".
  • In the numerous "Can You Survive Five Nights at Freddy's" videos, despite all being fully aware about the plots of the game, wanting to quit their job as Security Guards, and even resorting to burning down the building at the end of each one, Ivan refuses to let them leave, and voids their complaints by claiming he is only a "pre-recorded message".
  • In "Can You Survive Minecraft", Curt, already fully aware of what Ivan is planning, tries to drown himself after the cruise they're on sinks to get himself out of the scenario before it can even begin. Ivan instead ignores this and says Curt woke up on the beach with the others, much to Curt's irritation. When Ivan tries to say they make a house and then skip through some of the crafting aspects of the game, the others all call him out on ignoring the games creativity aspect, since they wanted to build a bow, and how the comments are just gonna call him out on this. Ivan, visibly irritated, proceeds to rapidly list said details as being done before moving on to what he was originally saying.
    Den: Did we make the crafting bench?
    Chilly: Comments are gonna call you out on these technicalities you know!
    Christian: Dude, yeah, it has to be realistic, dog!
    Den: This has to be super technical.
    Curt: See usually, I'd just be like "We gotta give Ivan a break", but they are right, they gonna get on our ass bro.
  • In "Can You Survive a Stalker", multiple times the crew tries saying they want to use an option related to physically assaulting the stalker or simply leaving an area he's likely to be lurking, only for Ivan to ignore them and give them a set of "choices" they can select from.
  • In "Can You Cure a Zombie Outbreak", despite the crew being fully aware their patient is a zombie and opting to just kill it before it can risk biting them, Ivan refuses by stating it's a living patient and that they have to try helping him since they're doctors.
  • In "Can You Survive Slender?", when he says they can check Discord to look at the map while handwaving it by saying God gifted them temporary wifi, Curt tries to just call a tow truck, only for Ivan to claim they can only check Discord. And when both Curt and CircleToonsHD!Christian individually try to just flat out leave, Ivan drags them back by force.
  • By "WE BECAME MAGICAL GIRLS", the crew has gotten so fed up with this that they exploit the loopholes he inadvertently left in so they can cause the scenario to go completely Off the Rails, namely that he gave Kristine the ability to teleport everyone elsewhere with a 25% chance she'll end up in the Sahara Desert, and make it impossible for him to try and get the scenario back on the rails.
  • "Can You Survive Sonic.exe" takes this to it's logical extreme as, aside from a single decision Curt gets to make, none of the other members get to have any input in the scenario he wrote, the scenario instead feeling more like a script-reading that the others are forced to be in while they can only commentate, Ivan spending just as much time narrating as he is yelling at the crew for their pointing out Fridge Logic or complaining about what he's making them do. This too is lampshaded when Curt decides to go along with Ivan's scenario in an over the top manner, only for Ivan to suddenly reveal he scripted things to have Curt act like he normally would.invoked
    Den: Why did he choose it and then you just switched it again?
    Curt: Yeah, the one time I go along, I'm like, "Ya know what, this is Ivan's scenario, I gotta go along with it."
    Ivan: Cause I know you want to turn off the game Curt! I had that as the only option cause I thought you would pick it!
    Curt: No, I was tryna- I was trying to go along with your damn scenario!
    Ivan: That's the one time I needed you to not, and then you did.
    Christian: Oh my goooood.
    Curt: Oh gooood.
    Den: I get the sense that these scenarios are slightly scripted.
  • "Can You Survive One Piece" initially seems to be free of his railroading, only for it to spring up at the very end. Right as Admiral Curt is all set to sink the flagship of the K-9 Pirates, he, entirely of his free will, decides to abandon the Marines and join the K-9 pirates, everyone questioning why Curt would be made to do that when he was about to win, and it being obvious Ivan did it to justify having more One Piece scenarios which wouldn't be possible if the Marines sank them, Ivan trying to handwave it by saying his name is actually "Curtis D. Richy"^*The Marines obey the World Nobles, who infamously hate those with the name "D." due to the belief in the "Will of D.", that he saw Captain Kristine's potential, and that he was always meant to be the Nami analogue.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Always talks big game, but rarely acts any better in the situations he's placed in than the rest of the group. In fact, more often than not, he acts dumber.
• Sole Survivor: Of "Can They Guess The Traitor?", not counting the Loudspeaker.
• Uncertain Doom: His fate is left unknown at the end of "Can They Escape A Crisis Bunker?".
• Would Rather Suffer: When faced with having to work with Chilly, he immediately opted for getting killed instead.

Christian

Frugal Aesthetic/Christian Villanueva

"I can't move!"

The laid back yet actually intelligent member.

---

• Back from the Dead: After dying in "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?", he's revived alongside Barney in "Piloting a Giant Gundam".
• Captain Obvious: When confronted with the 3rd and final obstacle of the labyrinth, Christian finds that the common denominator between all the keys is that they're numbered...Thanks to the big numbers on the front of them.
• Casanova Wannabe: Played with. Christian often flirts with a lot of the characters in scenarios, and whether he succeeds or not tends to be based on what's funnier. So while he strikes out a lot, he's also succeeded a fair bit, managing to romance Ibara Shiozaki, sleep with Kasumi Miwa, and even date Barney.
• Epic Fail: In "Can You Survive Silent Hill", while Curt, Ivan, and Chilly are trying to talk down Farid as a Pyramid Head, Christian embraces Murder Is the Best Solution and keeps trying to attack him... and fails four times in a row, each represented by him comically failing to even scratch him. Only on the fifth try does he finally get a roll that hits... and it's at the point where the others have already calmed Farid down and the episode was ending, meaning what he "hit" was the title card!
• Equal-Opportunity Offender: Christian is willing to mock anyone and everything whenever it comes up, especially if it's political, one episode having him mocking liberals, the next having him mocking conservatives. Like a lot of Christian's antics, it's For the Lulz. Prime example occuring during "Would You Rather...?", where he tries goading Ivan into electrocuting the army veteran by stating he's pro-military, only to then immediately salute him when the vet opts to not shock Christian, then proceed to whip the veteran when presented the option to.
  Chrisitian: I was always on your side!
• Extreme Omnisexual: At one point was in a relationship with Barney the dinosaur!
• For the Lulz: Most of his antics when not narrating are a result of him just screwing around for the lolz, especially when it's made clear he is genuinely smart, but will gladly act like The Ditz for the sake of comedy.
• Gassy Scare: After the island begins rumbling in "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?", he initially just tries to play it off as gas due to eating a lot. He's wrong.
• Genius Ditz: Christian is regularly shown to be the smartest of the group, having both scholastic and psychological intelligence. However, he is just as likely to do stupid shit as the others, either deliberately for the sake of comedy or just from being rather lackadaisical overall. This is highlighted when he reveals what his GPA was in "Can You Survive The Impossible Quiz?", having made multiple references to it being poor in previous episodes, before finally revealing he had a 1.9 due to coasting through most of high school.^*For point of reference, the national average for GPA's in the United States is 3.0, with a 1.9 being roughly the equivalent of a C letter grade.
• Hot-Blooded: Easily the most emotional and expressive of the Recreyo crew.
• Hypocritical Humor: Goes on a rant about how everyone in Recreyo are equals in "Can They Become Wizards?"...Only to immediately say they're fine with Ivan dying.
• I Choose to Stay: Chooses to stay at Raptor Park alongside Barney as the volcano erupts, not wanting to abandon his "new friend".
• Interspecies Romance: With Barney.
• Love Confession: Gives one to Barney just as the volcano erupts.
• Mighty Glacier: Christian gets saddled with this role in "Can You Survive Fallout?" Since everyone's speed was determined via dice roll, Christian got saddled with a speed of 2, leaving him slower than even the mobs they were fighting, which is counterbalanced by having higher HP than the others via picking "Endurance" as his trait. When they later find a suit of Power Armor that grants the wearer increased HP and Attack at the expense of 2 Speed, Christian opts to wear it, with Curt and Chilly pointing out that now Christian won't be able to move, and the animation giving him devil horns and a tail to highlight his intentions. This ends up screwing him over as while he has the power to actually damage the Deathclaw, he can't dodge it's attacks, and it's attacks take priority over his, so he's left yelling about how he can't move and is the first one taken out. Ivan at one point compares Christian to a "statue with a gun" as a result.
  Chilly: Does Christian even have the ability to dodge, he can't move!
  Curt: So shoot it!
  Christian: I can't move!
• A Molten Date with Death: His fate at the end of "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?".
• Official Couple: With Barney.
• Only Friend: To Barney, due to being the only member of Recreyo not intimidated by him in any way. This only makes having to kill him that much harder on Christian.
• Overly Long Gag: Christian tends to repeat gags ad nauseum when he find one that works, going through the entire cycle of being funny, to overused, looping back around to being funny again.
• The Pollyanna: Tends to verge more toward positivity than the others, generally being a positive, friendly-ish force.
• Power Echoes: Occasionally will unleash a loud, echoing voice to fully get across his excitement, fear, anger, or anything else he's feeling, which only adds to his overall expressiveness.
• Remember the New Guy?: Shows up without explanation in "Can They Escape Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?", and has just sorta stuck around ever since. Acknowledged in their April fools 2023 video where they officially introduce Christian as a member of Recreyo saying they should have done it after he showed up.
• Samurai Ponytail: He initially wore his hair up in one. At some point before "What Bender Are You?" he stopped doing so in favor of wearing it loose, though some animations depicted him with it long after that.
• Self-Inflicted Hell: His final fate from "Can They Become Wizards?".
• The Sixth Ranger: Becomes a member of the main group about five to six episodes into the series.
• Smarter Than You Look: He's the self-sabotaging comic relief who also happens to be one of the smartest members of the group. And no, that's not just him coming off as smart compared to nearly everyone else. Best shown in "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?", where he gets every onscreen question right, including several obscure questions that nobody else is even able to guess. Even Curt doesn't get as many questions right as he does.
• The Stoner: On the few occasions recreational drug use comes up, Christian more often than not is the one it relates to, specifically marijuana use. Most of the time it's independent of the scenarios themselves, with one notable exception: "Can You Survive Final Destination?" has Christian consume a batch of edibles while waiting for the plane to take off, so while Curt and Chilly are freaking out wanting off of the plane after realizing what Den is planning, and Ivan is acting blase overall up until the plane explodes, Christian is too busy getting high off his ass. Den has to actually kick him off the plane herself when the others voluntarily leave due to him being high still.
  Christian: Yo, I'm not gonna lie. This edible kicking in way too fucking early dude! We gotta get the fuck outta here man!
  (later)
  Curt: None of us know how to do this! Ivan's naked, Christian's high as hell, Chilly's Chilly! (Chilly's indignant yell can be heard in the background) We're done for bro!
  Christian: Yo, why am I high but this plane low as shit, I mean come on!
  Curt: Christian's high but the plane falling!
  Den: Christian's going higher in the sky.
• Suicide as Comedy: A Running Gag in the Re:Zero scenarios is his trying to off himself repeatedly as a means of escaping the time loop, each time in more ridiculous ways. It reaches the point that the others have to tie him up and drag him along just so they can continue the scenario.
• The Snack Is More Interesting: Christian has a habit of focusing on food more than on the scenario itself, largely for the Rule of Funny.
  • Christian manages to avoid the events of "Can They Survive Rick and Morty" by opting to get drunk at a bar rather than get involved with the scenario, showing up at the very end wondering what the hell happened.^*He's still involved in the scenario itself as he voices Ronnie Carnivora Morp.
  • In "Can They Survive Home Sweet Home", when everyone is selecting weapons to fight the monster currently trying to maul Ivan, he chooses the mystery box. When he sees that it's contents are a can of Red Bull and instant Pancit Canton, he proceeds to ignore Ivan and runs to a corner of the room so he can eat in peace.
    Ivan: Christian's clawing at a box of noodles on the other side of the apartment, this fucking sucks! Can someone save me please?!
  • During "Can They Survive Batman", he was more focused on the variety of buffet food than the fact he was being held hostage with only Ivan to save him. This gets him killed by Curt once the latter becomes Two-Face, since he's pissed Christian ate all of the food.
• Trademark Favorite Food: The McRib from McDonald's.

Kristine

k.fel/Kristine Fel

"Wan Wan!"

The new member following Chilly's departure.

---

• Animal Motifs: Dogs. She's very hyperactive, dumb, and excitable, is seen by herself and others as "cute", and will occasionally start barking for Rule of Funny.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite being the most batshit insane member of the group, she's also the most successful of the group in terms of analytics. "What YouTubers Don't Tell You." highlights this by having Den list out the analytics of everyone in the ensemble, with Kristine having a lucrative career as both a voice actress, VTuber, and TikTok user, having 1.9 Million Followers and over 35 Million Likes to her name.
• Cloudcuckoolander: She stands out amidst the group by being crazy and dumb even by their standards, regularly saying random thoughts, getting distracted by innocuous things, and acting more like a little kid. She likewise is shown to be rather clueless on basic topics, like nor knowing what a "mogul" is.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Kristine is one to Chilly. While both could be rather upbeat and cause negative reactions in the rest of the crew with their behavior, Chilly was largely considered annoying and could be just as amoral as the rest of the crew, whereas Kristine's behavior generates gross-outs or bemusement at worst and is comparatively more moral than the rest of the crew. This is highlighted by their relationships with Curt: Chilly and Curt were Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, the two arguing constantly and trying to kill each other, while Kristine and Curt are Vitriolic Best Buds, fighting each other just as much as they get along with each other.
• Dumb Is Good: Kristine is shown to be the most unambiguously good-natured member of the Recreyo crew, her only negative nature aspect being she's willing to laugh at others suffering. She's also the dumbest of the group, to the point it's a Running Gag that her head is completely empty, and she regularly ends up saying the most inane of things with a straight face.
• Dumbass Has a Point: In "Can You Survive Scream?", when Ivan says the master bedroom is the room where you'd most be able to relax and feel like new, Kristine points out that, as she's the one answering Ghostface's calls, shouldn't the answer be her room? The others treat this is just Kristine being an idiot again, but per the rules of Scream, Kristine pretty much is in the position of the Final Girl by answering the calls of the Ghostface Killer while her parents are away, meaning the answers should specifically pertain to her in the scenario, not in general like Ivan had been asking. And since her parents are the ones with the master bedroom in the scenario, why would she feel more relaxed and refreshed in their room rather than her own room?
• Everyone Has Standards: She may use gross-out humor like swallowing spitballs fired at her mid-flight, but she does have limits, and is just as likely to scream over things like Christian "pleasuring" himself or the constant talk of "megalomeat". And while she is an agent of chaos and normally up for any scenario even if the others aren't, not even she can bear dealing with "WE BECAME MAGICAL GIRLS", so when Ivan gives her the power to teleport, she grabs everyone and bolts, ending the scenario prematurely rather than let Ivan keep railroading them.
• Fake Guest Star: In her first appearance, she was a legitimate guest star, Curt even saying as much after asking her to say "Recreyo, out!" by prefacing it with guest stars being allowed to say it when they show up. Afterwards, she began infrequently joining the rest of Recreyo in scenarios even when other guest stars showed up, but never actually gets referred to as an official member until April 1st.
• Genki Girl: She's the happiest of the group on most occasions, keeping an upbeat attitude even when arguing, and at worst only gets frustrated rather than angry.
• Global Ignorance: Downplayed. Kristine lives in Canada unlike the rest of Recreyo who live in the USA, and she regularly expresses a lack of knowledge about America if not outright fear at some of the things the others describe. This in turn helps retroactively explain her not knowing the state of New York has a capitol, since unlike the rest of the crew, she doesn't live there.
• Gratuitous Japanese: She occasionally peppers her speech with Japanese, a holdover from her TikTok channel where she occasionally does impressions of anime characters.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: Played for Laughs mother variant in "Can You Survive M.I.L.F.? | Friday Night Funkin'". Ivan casts Kristine in the role of "Girlfriend" in that episode, and the other Recreyo members, most specifically Curt, keep expressing attraction to Mommy Mearest, but keep phrasing it as wanting to "Smash Kristine's Mom". This sends Kristine into a protective mode over mistakenly thinking they're talking about her actual mom, as she tells them to stay the hell away from her mom despite her also showing a shared attraction in Mommy Mearest.
  Curt: I'm trying to smash Kristine's mom! Hurry!
  Kristine: Don't go anywhere near my mom!
• Naïve Newcomer: As the newest member of the group, and having not watched prior episodes, she's largely blind to the existing elements of the crew and the reasons why they'd be anxious about some scenarios. Ivan exploits this and her overall chaotic nature when he needs to railroad the scenario and the others refuse to budge, using her decisions to influence the entire scenario.
• Noodle Implements: In "We Found a Secret in this Cabin..", during a game of Truth or Dare, Den dares Kristine to reveal a secret she hasn't told anyone. She does reveal one, but is worried about whether or not they can put it in the video due to content reasons, so while the rest of the crew hear her story, the majority of it is Censored for Comedy via blurred scenes. The scenes can be made out partially, consisting of what appears to be people dancing, someone pole dancing, and Kristine vomiting in the toilet. The others are left horrified and/or disgusted by what they hear.
• Running Gag: Kristine either barking like a dog or acting like one.
• Sad Clown: Starting with "DON'T GOOGLE THIS IN 7 YEARS", it's made clear that Kristine, despite being very peppy and a Genki Girl... is also very negative and nihilistic. Her main desire should she be allowed to travel seven years into the future is to figure out how, not if, she died since she rather not be forced to work anymore, her main advice as a content creator is that nothing matters and learn how to be more emotionally detached, she was once so burnt out that she hated even waking up before she eventually realized to stop giving a shit, and she openly admits that if given the opportunity to be reincarnated after death she'd want to be reborn as Harambe so she could be killed again. The rest of Recreyo actually becomes concerned for her hearing her so nihilistic as a result.
  Curt: It's crazy because Kristine is so cheery, "Haha, nothing matters!"
• Signature Headgear: Is always drawn with two flowers that hold up her bangs at each side.
• Success Through Insanity: Kristine due to her status of cloudcuckoolander was chosen by the group to befuddle Recreyo-Chan, a multiversal entity who has been watching the Recreyo crew for a long time and was in the role of the host, in order for them to rescue Curt. Kristine was able to accomplish this by telling a story so disturbing and baffling that it stunned Recreyo-Chan long enough for the others to rescue Curt and gain enough power to defeat her.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Subverted. On a surface level, Kristine has many similarities to Chilly, to the point that she ends up taking on some of the narrative roles Chilly had in scenarios she had been in that received continuations after her departure. Such examples including Kristine being a replacement D-Class Agent In-Universe, and taking on the role of Aoi Asahina in the Danganronpa scenarios. The similarities tend to be only superficial however, with Christine bringing her own brand of chaos to the mix and having different reactions than Chilly did. One such example being their first meetings with Sakura Ogami in the Danganronpa scenarios, as while Chilly quickly became fond of Sakura after some initial confusion, Kristine was outright terrified by Sakura.
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth:
  • While the rest of Recreyo can be idiotic, insane, and disturbing, they all balk at the lengths Kristine can go to, saying some of the most random of things with a straight face while acting like a loonatic, occasionally leaving the rest of the crew in a Stunned Silence. It's to the point Curt has even admitted to being scared of her, the accompanying visual being a group of people running away in fright as she rides a tricycle.
    Den: Are we sure that [the people of Maiden Island]'re not just scared of Kristine?
    Curt: I'm scared of Kristine! I get it!
    Kristine: There's nothing to be afraid of Curt, I'm your best friend.
  • This is invoked by the others when discussing "ROKO'S BASILISK". The hypothetical states that the Artificial Intelligence would punish anyone that knew it existed but didn't support it, and could read the minds of everyone. Everyone else agrees though that Kristine's mind is so empty and she is such a cloudcuckoolander, not only would she forget it existed entirely, the A.I. wouldn't even be able to read her mess of a mind in the first place!
    Christian: Roko's Basilisk be like: "Damn!"
    Curt: (As Roko's Basilisk staring at an unreactive Kristine) Can't get a read!

Former Members

Chilly

ChillyPanda

"Help! Help!"

The caffeine-addicted and panda-loving, totally not a furry, member.

Member until September, 2022. Final Video: "Hot One".

---

• An Arm and a Leg: Has her arm bitten off by a raptor in "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?", only for it to be replaced with a new, dinosaur arm. It returns in "Piloting a Giant Gundam".
• Animal-Eared Headband: Specifically one with panda ears. Her friends think this makes her a furry.
• Animal Motif: Pandas. She consistently wears a panda-themed hat, and most of the changes or characters she plays as have some panda theme to them, subtly or otherwise.
• Ask a Stupid Question...: Had a very...Unique question regarding the locker rooms.
  Chilly: Wait, is girl's locker room separate from the boy's locker room or is it just the locker room.
  (Beat)
  The Loudspeaker: ...Chilly, you really are NOT that smart. Do you typically change with the boys, Chilly?
• But Now I Must Go: Chilly ultimately decides to leave the group in September of 2022, citing a desire to pursue personal projects and coming to the mutual decision with the rest of the group she can't commit to Recreyo anymore. All indications are that her departure was amicable however.
• Butt-Monkey: Generally seen as useless by the rest of Recreyo, leading to her regularly suffering at the hands of them, animals, monsters, ghosts, demons, and more, on a fairly consistent basis, even compared to the rest of the team.
• Catchphrase: She opens almost every episode she hosts with some variant of "Hello, bitches!", much to Curt's dismay. "Help!" also count in many videos. She tried declaring her new catchphrase is "Thank You" in "Can you survive Twilight?", but it only lasted that episode.
  • For the Danganronpa videos, she would say "Get. your. shit. together!" while punctuating each word with a clap.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Played with. While two videos were done to explain her departure, as well as a farewell message at the end of her final video, "Hot One", any scenario that she had been part of originally that received new installments, such as Harry Potter^*Where she joined the Slytherin House alongside Ivan and Den, My Hero Academia^*Where she was one of four students participating in the Sports Festival under Nezu's direction, and the SCP Foundation^*Where she, along with Ivan, Den, and Christian, were forced to act as D-Class Agents of the Foundation to earn their freedom, would omit any mention of her involvement, instead having a Guest-Star Party Member or Kristine take her place.^*Haminations acting as a Hufflepuff house member, Pokimane leading the fourth team of Hero Class students, and Kristine being a D-Class Agent suffering Laser-Guided Amnesia assigned to the group Similarly, any references to older videos would omit any deliberate reference to Chilly's involvement in them on the part of the team, with any actual references being made by the animators either reusing footage from those episodes, or making a Freeze-Frame Bonus cameo, and the playlist comprised of the scenarios she hosted was deleted following her departure.
• Cowardly Lion: When faced with reasonable circumstances that she can win, she'll...Send someone else in to handle it instead.
• The Ditherer: When dealing with any sort of stress, Chilly quickly devolves into a stuttering mess who can't make her mind up on anything, especially when it could potentially lead to her demise.
• Divine Parentage: A descendent of the Komodo bloodline, an ancient clan of beast tamers. This allows her to control the raptors that attack her. Not crocodiles though.
• The Dog Bites Back: The entirety of "Can They Survive a Demonic Possession?" seemed specifically designed for Chilly to get back at the rest of the team for their poor treatment of her. It ends with everyone dying except her.
• Good with Numbers: Surprisingly really good at math, to a point of effortlessly solving the final trial of "Can They Escape Virtual Reality?", a feat which leads everyone to think she must have cheated.
• The Load: Downplayed. Chilly has her moments, but when it comes to puzzles or challenges involving the whole group, Chilly either guesses wrong or doesn't contribute to the solution.
  • It's lampshaded by Christian in "Can They Survive Final Fantasy?", where neither Chilly nor her stuffed animal weapon do a single thing throughout the episode. Christian is utterly incredulous when the Recreyo crew decides to leave him for dead instead of her, despite Christian being the most useful (if trigger-happy) member throughout the episode.
    Christian: What did Chilly's stuffed animal do this whole episode?!
• The Millstone: Her status as The Load gets cranked up to this in "Can They Beat the Alien Impostor?", where she constantly accuses everyone of being the impostor except for the actual impostor ( Den), and completely fails to interpret the hints when Christian reveals that he knows who it is (though, to be fair, Curt also misinterprets the hints). At one point Chilly manages to mess up navigating the ship so badly that she gets Curt killed without Den doing a single thing to manipulate her decision-making. By the end, when she's the Sole Survivor against Den, Christian and Curt are so pissed at her incompetence that they outright start rooting for Den. Which makes it all the more awesome/baffling when she somehow wins.
• Must Have Caffeine: Has a very well-documented Starbucks addiction.
• Out-of-Character Moment: Of all people, she spends the majority of "Can They Escape A Crisis Bunker?" being the most aggressive of the group, actively trying to discover who the mysterious figure is so they can escape the bunker.
• Physical God: To the raptor clan of Raptor Park.
• The Right Hand of Doom: Downplayed, but still present with her new reptile arm in "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?" and "Piloting a Giant Gundam".
• Skewed Priorities: While in the Zombie Apocalypse, upon coming across a van, the first thing she worries about is whether or not it's white.
• Sole Survivor: In "Can They Survive Sweet Home?", ironically as a result of being voted out of the group. As the others point out, it won't last long, since she's surrounded by monsters in a small area and slowly turning into a monster herself. Chilly still celebrates as if she's won, even though it's clear that she really hasn't.
• They Killed Kenny Again: While all of Recreyo are no stranger to getting killed in scenarios, Chilly is the one killed most often, to the point she's been killed in her own scenarios, something the others are quick to lampshade.
• Third Eye: Unlocks one upon becoming a God to the raptors.
• Trademark Favorite Drink: Her love of Starbucks is well documented on her own channel, and quite a few jokes reference that here. She also has a large fondness for cheese, with several scenarios having the basis of the crew's money issues stemming from Chilly wasting money on fancy cheese.
  Chilly: I'm broke after spending all my money on cheese.
• Uncertain Doom: Her fate is left unknown at the end of "Can They Escape A Crisis Bunker?".

Guests

Season 1

Yssa Badiola

"L-Let's not get too excited!"

Appearance(s): "Can They Become Wizards?" and "Can They Escape a Parallel Dimension?"

The creator of web animation series Recorded By Arizal.

---

• Big Damn Heroes: Manages to solve the final puzzle of "Can They become Wizards?" without much help from Recreyo.
• Break the Cutie: She mentally snaps in "Can They Escape a Parallel Dimension?" after Christian and Ivan abandon her and Den in the eponymous dimension.
• The Gambler: When asked which door she'd pick, she admitted her preference as leaning toward gambling with the Grim Reaper.
• Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Similar to Recreyo's reaction to her, Yssa just doesn't understand why Recreyo are all so willing to turn on each other.
• Nice Girl: Especially when compared to the rest of Recreyo, she is shockingly friendly, a fact that gets repeatedly called out by the rest of Recreyo. As a result of Character Development due to being around Recreyo, by the end of her second appearance, this seems to have faded.
• Token Good Teammate: In "Can They Become Wizards?", she's the only participant trying to solve the problems in a moral way.

Crystal and David

Appearance(s): "Can They Survive a Demonic Possession?"

---

• The Dividual: Are introduced as a pair in their debut episode, and more or less stay that way the entire time.
• Innocent Bystander: Despite not having any part in tormenting Chilly, unlike the rest of Recreyo, they still end up being forced into a rather grisly scenario designed for her revenge. Which includes everyone besides Chilly dying at the end.

Good Morning from Hell (Blaine and Chris)

Appearance(s): "Can They Escape Hell?" and "Can They Survive Pokemon?"

---

• Everybody Has Standards: Blaine was regularly disturbed by Ivan's willingness to be naked and No Sense of Personal Space during "Can They Escape Hell?".

Beyond the Bot]]

Appearance(s): "Can They Survive Among Us?"

---

Greg and Tara

Appearance(s): "Can They Survive Dragon Ball Z?"

Greg Cipes and Tara Strong, professional voice actors and co-hosts of The Ship-It Show.

---

• Adaptation Distillation: Greg as Michelangelo says "Cowabunga", despite Greg's version of the character using "Booyakasha" as his catchphrase, and saying the former is "too old school" when Mondo Gecko uses it as his catchphrase.
• Adaptational Super Power Change: Both Tara and Greg exploit a Loophole Abuse by using a single powerset that lets them access all their other power sets, each power being an Actor Allusion to roles they've played, though doing so requires taking a few liberties with said single powers.
  • Tara uses an Omnitrix like 10-Year-Old Benjamin "Ben" Tennyson, which was a DNA repository meant for cataloguing and documenting various Alien DNA. Of the forms Tara used though, the only ones that could considered "Alien" were Raven of Azaroth, due to being half-demon via Trigon, and Princess Twilight Sparkle, an Equestrian Princess. The other forms used, Bubbles, Timmy Turner, and Harleen "Harley Quinn" Quinzel, are all human, and the Omnitrix would only have one Human DNA sample in it.
  • Greg uses the shapeshifting powers of Garfield "Beast Boy" Logan, who could turn into any animal he's seen before, even if said animal wasn't from Earth. While that works for his becoming Michelangelo since Mikey is a mutated turtle, he also uses it to become Kevin Ethan Levin, who is, despite initially believed to be half-alien, a mutant human.
• Dung Fu: In the tournament, when Greg fights against Tara in the Finals, his attack is to fling radioactive poop as monkey-Beast Boy.
• Loophole Abuse: Technically speaking, both were only supposed to have one set of powers for the tournament. Both however use more liberal versions of one characters power to access all of their characters. Tara uses an Omnitrix that allows her to transform into her various characters, while Greg uses Beast Boy's powers to turn into other animals he's voiced and Kevin Levin.

Antagonists

The School

The Loudspeaker

"I have taken over your elite school, just to test how smart you really are..."

A mysterious voice coming over the loudspeaker of the elite school that acts as the setting of "Can They Survive This High School?", who kills all the students with the exception of Chilly, Den, and Ivan, before forcing them through a trial of his design to see if they're as smart as they seem, while also employing one of them as his personal mole.

---

• Author Avatar: For Curt.
• Big Brother Is Watching: Is paying attention to the group throughout both episodes, watching their progress and analyzing their behavior.
• Greater-Scope Villain: While the traitor is the actual Big Bad of the episodes, the Loudspeaker (or more accurately, the person using it) is the one who put the group into the game in the first place.
• Karma Houdini: Gets no comeuppance for his actions regarding the senseless murder of an entire school.
• Mysterious Employer: Of the traitor, Ivan.
• Only Sane Man: Is left utterly baffled by the levels of stupidity leveled at him by Chilly and Ivan.
• Pet the Dog: Gives the group a chance to survive the game by giving each of them a key word or phrase to help lead them to the areas containing the antidotes. Inverted in that he also employed one of them as his traitor to sabotage these very phrases.
• The Sociopath: More than willing to kill an entire school's worth of people just to force a Deadly Game onto the three smartest students at said school.
• Would Hurt a Child: Poisons an entire school of kids, leaving only three survivors, who he then forces into a game of his design.

The Saboteur

The Mole between Chilly, Den, and Ivan, who is working to hinder their progress and stop them from obtaining the three antidotes required to win. They're later revealed to have been Ivan the whole time.

---

• The Bad Guy Wins: Ultimately gets away with everything and wins.
• Big Bad: Of "Can They Survive This High School?" and "Can They Guess The Traitor?", with the primary conflict being stirred by the mole giving the others false information to lead them off course.
• Domino Mask: Wears one in the initial explanation of how the Saboteur works.
• Face–Heel Turn: Prior to the events of the episodes, they were just like any other student. Now, they're no better than the person employing them, simply on account of intentionally trying to sabotage their friend's efforts.
• Karma Houdini: Besides getting stabbed by Den, they ultimately walk away scot-free.
• The Mole: Working for the Loudspeaker, and hides among the group, acting like their ally throughout the game.
• Only a Flesh Wound: Right after being revealed as Ivan, Den stabs him through the chest, which he shrugs off without much difficulty afterward.
• Secret Identity: Ivan.
• Token Evil Teammate: Essentially their role in the group.
• Walking Spoiler: Considering their role in the videos is intended as a way of stirring distrust within the group, and that their true identity is one of the group, actually discussing them to any degree will almost undoubtedly bring up who they really are.

The Tower of Power

The Survivor

"All the attendees are dead...Except for one man."

The Sole Survivor of the dinner party in "Can They Escape Virtual Reality".

---

• Friendly Enemy: Despite being the boss of the second trial, he doesn't seem to have any sort of animosity toward the group, and has no issue showing them the exit once they found the correct answer to the puzzle.
• Graceful Loser: Once the group discovers the correct answer to the trial, he allows them to exit without any fuss.
• One-Hit Kill: Speaking to him acts as this for the group.
• Puzzle Boss: Acts as the primary obstacle for the second room of the Tower of Power.
• The Quiet One: Remains completely silent throughout the trial, and nobody in the group is allowed to communicate with him since it'll kill them instantly.
• Sole Survivor: His name is the survivor after all.

The Hooded Man

"You ascend up the stairs to the final floor, and you find an empty five-gallon bucket, an empty three-gallon bucket, an infinite source of water...And a man who says he's dying of thirst."

The Final Boss of the Tower of Power; a hooded, mysterious man who needs exactly four gallons of water in order to live, and will die if given any more or less than that.

---

• Cheaters Never Prosper: When Chilly solves the problem, Ivan quickly calls her out as having cheated to have solved it. Turns out she's just Good with Numbers.
• Final Boss: The centerpiece of the final trial of the tower.
• Heal It with Water: Is totally fine after consuming the water given to him by the group.
• No Such Thing as Dehydration: Inverted; he's dying specifically because he hasn't had water and needs exactly four gallons of it in order to live.
• Puzzle Boss: Winning the Tower of Power is dependent on figuring out how to give him exactly four gallons of water.
• Secret Identity: Ivan.

The Labyrinth of Knowledge

The Brothers

"TBA"

A pair of brothers; one can only tell the truth, and the other can only tell lies. They're the primary obstacle of the door room.

---

• Can Not Tell A Lie: The brother on the left.
• Character Death: Once Recreyo solves the puzzle, the pair melt away into a puddle of sludge.
• Consummate Liar: The brother on the right.
• Knights and Knaves: The basis of their puzzle; one of them tells the truth, one tells lies, and there is only one door that allows the group to escape the room unscathed, AND they can only ask them one question.
• Obviously Evil: The slouching, dead-eyed brother on the right is fairly obviously the liar. Not that the group notices.

The Door Guardians

"Behind door #1, is a lion who hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. Behind door #2, is a highly trained assassin out for blood. Behind door #3, is a knife-wielding psychopath, that will stab anyone, preferably Ivan. Door #4 is a gamble with the Grim Reaper."

The primary obstacle of the second set of rooms, being four doors, each guarded by a different enemy. The first door was the correct option, as the lion had long died of starvation.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: Exactly how did Den meet these people? She claims over drinks, Christian claims from Tinder.
• Chess with Death: In order to survive door #4, you need to play a game of dice with the grim reaper. Roll too low, and the party would lose a player.
• Denied Food as Punishment: The lion was purposefully starved for two weeks for the sake of the puzzle. Which is why it starved to death.
• Nothing but Skin and Bones: By the time Recreyo meets the lion, its been reduced down to so little that they can make out its bones.
• Secret Identity: The psychopath behind door #3 is fairly obviously Den, something the group figures out fairly quickly.
• Would Rather Suffer: After encountering Recreyo, and thus being given a chance to eat, the lion chooses death instead.

Other Antagonists

The Zombies

"Well, well, well, this guy biting Ivan is actually...A zombie!"

A horde of zombies who spring to life inside the Disneyland theme park, and proceed to bring about the apocalypse.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: No explanation is given as to why the zombie virus started in the first place.
• Big Bad: Of "Can You Survive The Zombie Apocalypse With Your Friends?"
• Demoted to Extra: Given a far smaller role in "Can They Survive A Zombie Apocalypse?"
• Out of Focus: Largely fall into the background more and more as the episode goes on, in exchange for bickering between Recreyo and their encounters with other survivors.
• The Undead: Dead people brought back from the dead to feast on human flesh.
• Would Hurt a Child: Swarm upon and proceed to eat three children alive.
• Zombie Apocalypse: As is expected.

Other Characters

The Neighbors

The Mysterious Figure

The one responsible for locking up Recreyo and their neighbors in a bunker during the crisis.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: Refuses to reveal their identity, locked up the group due to the crisis in a bunker without their permission, and then, later on, refuses to let them go due to the crisis supposedly getting worse.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Inverted once it's discovered they were never truly evil.
• Secret Identity: Mister Crabtree.
• Secret Identity Vocal Shift: Done in order to keep the group from discovering their true identity.
• Walking Spoiler: Their identity forms the foundation of the mystery of the episode.

Paul Jacobs

"Yo, dudes!"

An obnoxious YouTube vlogger who has no relation to any real people whatsoever.

---

• Dirty Coward: Would rather stay sealed in the bunker and keep people there against their will than face the outside world.
• Expy: Of Jake Paul.
• Face–Heel Turn: Turns against the group for his own selfish wishes of staying in the bunker, holding them at gunpoint and making threats. And unlike Mister Crabtree, nothing implies he won't shoot them if they try to leave.
• Final Boss: The final obstacle stopping the group from escaping the bunker, holding them at gunpoint and threatening them if they attempt to leave.
• Hate Sink: Clearly designed to be unlikable from the get-go. when he pulls a Face–Heel Turn.
• The Prankster: Posts videos online of him pranking his friends and others. It's heavily implied they're all fake.
• Properly Paranoid: Doesn't react very well to the crisis, though can you really blame him considering the circumstances?
• Totally Radical: Speaks in this sorta tone.
• Uncertain Doom: It's left unknown who was killed between him and Mister Crabtree in their struggle.

Ada Brooks

"Ugh, you people..."

A real estate worker who despises Recreyo.

---

• Crazy-Prepared: Attempted to be so by going to the store to stock up on supplies. It backfired when the crisis hit moments later.
• Jerkass: Easily the most outwardly rude of the neighbors, and has a history of trying to get Recreyo evicted from their home.
• Mistaken for Racist: When she "greets" the Recreyo crew with the above quote, Ivan immediately asks if she's racist, given all three members of the crew she meets are of non-Caucasian descent (Ivan and Den are Filipino; Chilly is Jordanian). Curt hastily clarifies that she was expressing disdain for Youtubers.
• Out of Focus: Gets the least focus of the three neighbors, and basically disappears during the climax.
• Pet the Dog: While she's rude, once she realizes they don't mean any harm, she willingly gives the neighbors information to help them out.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Recreyo. Downplayed after she helps them out.
• Token Good Teammate: The only one of the neighbors who genuinely means no harm and isn't keeping any secrets, even going as far to help them out when asked.

Mister Crabtree

"That pandemic really is scary...I don't wanna lose anyone, I'd hate to lose you guys."

A 60-year old, retired tech CEO with a massive fortune, who cares greatly about his neighbors.

---

• Anti-Villain: He doesn't mean any real harm, only wanting to make sure his neighbors stay safe and don't die in the crisis. Even the threats he makes are made clear to be empty, and the second he realizes the error of his ways, he willingly sacrifices himself to keep Chilly and Ivan safe.
• Big Bad: Responsible for kidnapping the group and their neighbors and sealing them in the bunker.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Easily the most strange of the three neighbors. Even more so once his intentions are revealed and he's revealed to have gone far off the deep end in terms of sanity.
• Cool Old Guy: A calm, friendly old man who treats the group well. Zig-Zagged once it's revealed he put them all in the bunker in the first place, even in spite of his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Heel–Face Turn: More than willing to risk his life to save Chilly and Ivan if it means he can redeem himself for actions throughout the episode.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Attacks Paul Jacobs and tries to get the gun away in order to give Chilly and Ivan time to escape the bunker.
• The Lost Lenore: His wife passed away not too long before the crisis, which contributes to his motivation of keeping his neighbors in the bunker.
• Uncertain Doom: It's left unknown who was killed between him and Paul Jacobs in their struggle.
• Walking Spoiler: Just look at how many tropes above are spoiler-checked!

Raptor Park

The Raptors

The 37 raptors acting as the main attraction at Raptor Park.

---

• Adaptational Badass: Obviously a lot stronger than real-life raptors, taking more inspiration from the type introduced in Jurassic Park.
• Bait-and-Switch: They're initially portrayed as the villain of the episode, but after decreeing Chilly as their new God, they become Recreyo's allies for the remainder of the episode, with the conflict instead coming from the group's attempts to escape Raptor Park as the volcano nearby begins to erupt.
• Historical Badass Upgrade: Velociraptors in real life were smaller and less intelligent than the ones in the video.
• Informed Species: Sure, they may look like what we generally associate with raptors, but they're more like mini-Godzillas or the deinonychus species than anything truly raptor-related.
• It Can Think: In spite of first being presented as feral animals, they're quickly shown to have their own sort of faith, believing Chilly to be a God after getting a taste of her blood.
• Killed Offscreen: They're killed and made into raptor burgers in "Can They Survive Rick and Morty".
• Raptor Attack: Initially Played Straight, as they're initially presented as the Big Bad of the episode. Inverted upon swearing their allegiance to Chilly.

Barney the Dinosaur

"I love you, you love me~"

Yes, that Barney. A muscular, oddly attractive dinosaur who immediately takes a liking to Christian.

---

• Adaptation Species Change: Acts as one of the raptors in the video. He's just way more muscular.
• Back from the Dead: After dying in "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?", he's revived alongside Christian in "Piloting a Giant Gundam".
  • Came Back Wrong: In the process, he was mutated to gigantic proportions, and began to wreak havoc on the world.
  • Back for the Dead: Which led inevitably leads to Christian having to kill Barney to stop him was causing more chaos, putting an end to him for good.
• Face–Heel Turn: As a result of how he Came Back Wrong, he turns against humanity, forcing the Recreyo crew to stop him.
• Hunk: Tall, muscular, and handsome. To Christian anyways.
• Interspecies Romance: With Barney.
• It's Personal: Although trying to kill all of Recreyo in "Can They Pilot a Gundam?" Barney was stated to have a grudge specifically against Ivan for gentrifying his entire home.
• Killed Off for Real: Stabbed by Christian and the Recreyo crew through the heart by their Humongous Mecha's giant sword in "Piloting a Giant Gundam".
• Memetic Badass: In-Universe; he's so ripped, the Recreyo crew is convinced he could simply punch the volcano in order to stop it from erupting.
• A Molten Date with Death: His fate at the end of "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?".
• Official Couple: With Christian.
• Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Downplayed as he's presented as dying at the end of his first appearance, but he's put down seemingly for good at the end of "Piloting a Giant Gundam".
• They Killed Kenny Again:
  • "Can They Escape Jurassic Park?": Left on Raptor Island as the volcano explodes, causing him and Christian to boil alive in the lava.
  • "Piloting a Giant Gundam": Stabbed through the heart by Christian's Gundham mecha, only this time it sticks.

Raptor Wrangler Roberto

"What's on the menu, gang?"

Resident hype-man and raptor expert of Raptor Park. Maybe.

---

• Atrocious Alias: As is noted by Recreyo themselves, his name is so agonizingly stupid, it's incredibly hard to take him even remotely seriously.
• Bystander Syndrome: Entirely fine with the crowd attempting to sacrifice Chilly, allowing himself to be overpowered by them in order to not take action.
• Carpet of Virility: Has one underneath his work outfit.
• Jerkass: Has no problem sacrificing Chilly in order to appease the crowd.
• Karma Houdini: Survives the events of Raptor Park, suffering no sort of punishment for allowing the crowd to try and sacrifice Chilly.
• What, Exactly, Is His Job?: It's never made all that clear what his actual job is. While he has wrangler in the name, it's never really shown on-screen to mean much of anything, and every step of the way he seems more like an announcer to hype a crowd up than anything.

The SCP Foundation

The Foundation

An organization devoted to protecting the world from various anomalies while keeping them in the dark, they cross paths with the Recreyo crew when all but Curt awaken in a field with eighteen corpses, B-Class Agent Curt Richy drafting them as D-Class Agents and having them encounter various SCP's.

---

• Mauve Shirt: D-Class Agents are normally a Red Shirt Army that The Foundation uses when in need of expendable resources. The Recreyo crew meanwhile have managed to survive encounters with multiple SCP's, but are not immune from being killed, as Den being killed by SCP-173 can attest. And unlike most scenarios that have the crew get an Unexplained Recovery, these deaths stick, Den needing to be brought Back from the Dead to be in the next scenario.
• Noodle Incident:
  • The exact incident that caused The Foundation to apprehend Recreyo sans Curt is this, as none of the crew remember anything, and Curt only tells them they're on Death Row after being found in a field with eighteen corpses.
  • How and why GetMadz ended up a D-Class Agent is unknown, and likely won't be elaborated on considering his death at the hands of SCP-096.
  • In-Universe, the period between "Can You Survive The SCP | The Shy Guy" and "Can You Survive The SCP | The Sculpture" saw the D-Class Agents facing several other SCP's off-screen, Ivan specifically mentioning SCP-2901/"The Mothman" and SCP-5533/"The Loch Ness Monster". It's implied this is the In-Universe reasoning for Chilly's absence, that she was Killed Offscreen during one of these encounters.^*The out of universe reasoning of course being Chilly's departure from Recreyo, with her subjected to Chuck Cunningham Syndrome regarding her roles afterwards.
  • How exactly Kristine ended up a D-Class Agent is unknown, just that she's been with the Foundation for several years, but suffered from anterograde amnesia until joining the Recreyo crew.
• Shoot the Dog: Their modus operandi: contain and terminate anything that the public doesn't need to know. Best exemplified when Curt executes one of the survivors of SCP-3008 that managed to claw their way out of the building, as they can't bring any new people out of the building.
• We Have Reserves: D-Class Agents are treated as expendable due to being comprised of death row criminals and those the Foundation are trying to keep quiet. So naturally that's what Recreyo end up as.

The Observer

A Mysterious Watcher tied to the incident pertaining to SCP-173, they have an unknown interest in the D-Class Recreyo Agents, and offered their aide in trying to contain it.

• Ambiguously Related: It's unclear if they have any relation to the breach that allowed SCP-173 to be an issue in the first place.
• Cryptically Unhelpful Answer: Their "help" largely consists of cryptic riddles that the Recreyo crew need to actually decipher to be anything useful. This being Recreyo however, they just end up struggling with each hint and get pissed off instead.
• Mysterious Watcher: Who they are and what their goals are remain unknown, just that they are interested in the D-Class Recreyo Agents enough to lend their support in containing SCP-173. Curt has no idea who they are either and is looking in to it as a result, suggesting they aren't part of The Foundation.

SCP's

SCP- 3008

The Infinite Ikea

A seemingly ordinary Ikea, this SCP has been isolated by The Foundation outside of being used for testing. Anyone who enters the SCP and fails to leave before "closing time" will find themselves trapped in there until "opening time", now an infinite maze staffed by faceless monsters that will kill anyone walking around after "store hours".

---

• Adaptation Deviation: Officially, this SCP has had 14 survivors manage to escape it's confines, resulting in The Foundation giving them anesthetics and releasing them back to the public, with one incident having a would-be survivor being caught and killed by the only known instance of one of the workers leaving the SCP, said worker quickly being gunned down by Foundation Agents. Here, when a survivor manages to claw his way out after being left behind by the Recreyo crew, albeit with a worker acting as The Dragalong, Curt shoots him dead without a second thought.
• Endless Corridor: This SCP ostensibly looks like an ordinary Ikea, but upon entering the building, one will find the inside to be an endless maze completely divorced from the exterior dimensions of the building itself.

SCP- 096

The "Shy Guy"

A disproportionately-proportioned humanoid figure kept contained in the Facility, it normally remains docile unless someone sees it's face, upon which it enters an Unstoppable Rage and goes to kill whoever saw it.

---

• Adaptational Wimp: SCP-096 is normally The Juggernaut, breaking through anyone and everything in it's relentless pursuit of whoever saw it's face, to the point anyone who does is considered living on borrowed time. Here, even though the entire crew saw it's face and it began pursuing Ivan, the Foundation manages to recontain it before it can kill any of them, and is seemingly pacified.
• Meaningful Name: Normally it's extremely docile and content remaining on it's own, but will enter a psychotic rage if anyone dares to look at it's face, shortly after returning to it's docile state once whoever saw it is dead. The Foundation thus began calling it the "Shy Guy".
• Unstoppable Rage: If anyone sees it's face, it enters a berserker rage and chases after them until it can kill it's target.

SCP- 173

The Sculpture

A strange statue contained at The Facility, it normally remains unmoving provided someone has eyes on it. Should no one be observing it however, it moves at a rapid pace and systematically begins snapping the necks of those around it.

---

• Can't Move While Being Watched: It can't move at all so long as it has eyes on it, which The Foundation normally takes care of by having Agents monitoring it round the clock. Unfortunately, a breach at The Facility causing a black-out allows it to kill the two agents monitoring it while the Recreyo crew are meant to be cleaning it's pen, forcing them to keep an eye on it while also searching for power cells to reenable the power grid.
• Hero Killer: It successfully manages to kill one of the D-Class Recreyo Agents as a result of their taking their eyes off it, snapping Den's neck.
• Neck Snap: It's preferred method of killing it's victims, managing to snap the necks of the two agents initially tasked with monitoring it once the power goes out, and Den's neck when the Recreyo crew lose track of it.

SCP- 049

Plague Doctor

A humanoid resembling a Medieval Plague Doctor obsessed with finding a cure for "the Pestilence", it is normally rather cordial and cooperative with the Foundation. So it becomes a problem when it suddenly stages a hostile takeover and targets Recreyo.

---

• Not Me This Time: Everyone is initially under the assumption the revived Den is his work, since one of his abilities allows those he's "cured" to be brought back as his zombie thralls. He makes clear though he wasn't responsible, their revival if anything being one of the reasons he's after Recreyo, having been told by someone they hold the cure to "the Pestilence".
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He's normally Affably Evil and cooperative with The Foundation, seeing himself as a force for good just trying to find a cure for "the Pestilence". So when he ends up going on a rampage throughout the facility, it causes quite a bit of concern as to what changed. The D-Class Recreyo Agents confrontation with him makes clear his rampage came from the belief they held the cure, and stopping at nothing to get to them, only to realize he had been manipulated the entire time.
• Unwitting Pawn: It's all but said he was merely a pawn of Recreyo-chan in her attempt at staging a Hostile Show Takeover, as the spiral serving as her symbol appears in his right eye when he mentions the person who informed him about Recreyo. He comes to the conclusion he's being used himself after getting a good look at Recreyo, not knowing what they are and immediately ordering they be restrained while he figures out what's going on.

Security Breach SCPs

Numerous SCP's kept in the facility that Recreyo was transferred to, and are forced to deal with if they want to escape the facility. The SCPs they specifically have to deal with are:

• SCP-087: The Stair Case
• SCP-523
• SCP-999: The Tickle Monster
• SCP-1048: Builder Bear
• SCP-1499
• SCP-2660

---

• Adorable Abomination: SCP-999 only cares about tickling and is for the most part entirely benign, posing no threat to anyone and only tickling them until asked to stop. Ivan was the only one willing to approach it instead of SCP-087, and in turn the only one to not lose a life that round.
• Hero Killer: They collectively manage to kill Christian and Kristine as the crew tried to escape.
• Two Roads Before You: The crew are forced to choose between two different SCPs whenever they reach a corridor, with only the hope that the one they pick won't claim one of their three lives.
  • The first corridor has the choice of either SCP-099, or SCP-087. Ivan chooses the former, while the others choose the latter. SCP-099, proving harmless, only tickles Ivan, while Den, Kristine, and Christian lose one of their lives to the darkness.
  • The second corridor has the choice of either SCP-1048, or SCP-523. Kristine chooses the former, while the others choose the latter. Kristine is mauled to death by SCP-1048, while Ivan, Den, and Christian all lose a life to SCP-523.
  • The third and final corridor has the choice of either SCP-1499, or SCP-2660. Christian and Kristine choose the former, while Ivan and Den choose the latter. Christian and Kristine are killed and lose their last lives as a result, while Ivan and Den use SCP-2660 to completely escape... right to where Recreyo-chan disguised as Curt was luring them to.

Minor Characters

The Oompa-Loompas

The titular characters from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory...They're dead.

---

• Death by Adaptation: Considering the actual Oompa-Loompas survived canon unscathed...Yeah, this is fairly obvious.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Literally seconds after they're introduced, they're revealed to already be dead.
• Little People: About 2 or 3 feet tall.
• Posthumous Character: Were dead for potentially minutes to months prior to the episode.
• The Undead: Two of them are shown to have been brought back to life with...Less than pleasant results.

Recreyo-Chan

"We hope to see you there! And if we don't... we'll find you."

The adorable spokesperson for the Recreyo Anime NYC promotion... but is that really all?

---

• Ambiguously Related: Recreyo-chan seems to have a weird connection to several members of Recreyo, most specifically Den, Curt, and Christian.
  • During the official announcement for Kristine joining Recreyo, Den was shown on Christian's left before briefly glitching and resembling Recreyo-chan, before then returning to looking like Den... only for another Den to appear on Christian's right, with no one acknowledging the Den that was on the left. And during the events of "We Found a Secret in this Cabin..", Den randomly begins talking about simulation theory, asking if someone is puppeteering them, and a glitch occurring right as she begins talking about it.
  • Curt is the one being saddled with the blame for the glitches from the other members since he's the one who does the final upload, and during the apology video he made, the end of the video glitches again to show her symbol. Certain episodes would likewise depict her trying to snatch Curt from behind with him none the wiser, eventually succeeding after "Aliens are Real... Now What?", so she can take his place and manipulate the rest of the crew.
  • For a brief period, the channel banner glitched and removed Christian from it, while the glitch representing her influence appeared behind the others. Multiple episodes were updated to list Christian as a Fake Guest Star, stating "Big thanks to Christian for joining us for this episode!", several of the glitches during episodes only seem to occur when Christian says something, and Christian makes a point of stating he didn't write the scenario "dont go downstairs" when Curt asks him why he "killed" Curt off, with a glitch of Recreyo-chan occurring at that exact moment, as if to say she wrote it. "ROKO'S BASILISK" would see a glitch occur not depicting Recreyo-chan, but depicting Christian as a robot while explaining the titular concept, no one noticing his face falling off as he puts it back on and screws it back into place.
• Characterisation Click Moment: Recreyo Chan’s intial role was only to speak out about the Anime NYC announcement back in 2021, and she was generally very bland without a solidified personality. However, with her recent appearances in "Can You Survive Dr. Stone?" and "Officially Announcing the New Recreyo Member," she’s suddenly getting fleshed out as an important character, albeit very vaguely. It only took two years!
• Eye Motifs: Her symbol has a habit of showing up in the eyes of the members of the crew at random points, typically when they tell the animator to do something. The only non-crew member this occurred to was SCP-049, appearing in his eye when he claims someone told him Recreyo held the key to curing the Pestilence, implying it was her who did so.
• The Fake Cutie: With her cute school uniform and blue pigtails, as well as emphasis on her cheeks, Recreyo Chan appears like an adorable mascot for Recreyo. However, she also ends the promotion that she debuts in with a knife-threat.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Recreyo Chan threatens the viewers with a knife at the end of her debut, but she also appears to glitch through the videos as of season two. Although her current intentions are not yet very clear, it's already been established that she's well aware of the audience and has the confidence to threaten them.
• Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: By virtue of being the scenario runner for the episode, she's able to easily manipulate the events of "Can You Survive an SCP Containment Breach?" to ensure that the crew perfectly dances to her tune regardless of what choices they make.
• Hostile Show Take Over: Implied to have been attempted several times.
  • Over the course of Season 2, starting with "Can You Survive Dr. STONE?", several episodes have had glitching segments that occasionally depict someone resembling her in the static, with the descriptions having bits and pieces of a message. This would reach an apex on May 5th, 2023, with the (now unlisted) episode "C̷a̵n̷ ̴y̸o̶u̴ Survive Five Nights at Freddy's 4?", with the video heavily glitching until the 0:36 mark, at which point the entire video glitches out, with an occasional Morse Code message being played, and the description only containing what's needed to complete the message: "c̶ḁ̷͝n̴̼̝̹͛y̴̖̾̐̾̏̀ō̴̩u̸̹̔ ̴̧̣̀ḧ̸͔͔̎e̷͔̱̓̚a̴̟̾ r̷͉͔͒ ̶̣̎m̷̢̔ẽ̵̜?̶̮̑". (Can You Hear Me?) The video itself would be taken down several hours later with the crew issuing a statement that it was simply a "rendering error" and that the proper episode would be uploaded the following week, stopping whatever happened from continuing.
  • After Curt then released an apology video stating episodes would become bi-weekly until he could fix the glitches, the amount of glitches largely ceased, instead a spiral symbol resembling the swirls on Recreyo-chan's cheeks appearing at times, including at the very end of said apology video to make clear she is not done. Following this, Recreyo-chan appears to be taking a more subtle approach, as the events of "Can You Survive The Plague Doctor | SCP-049" would see the titular SCP acting uncharacteristically hostile, believing all the members of Recreyo acting as D-Class Agents were infected with "The Pestilence", and that someone had told him that the four of them would be the key to fixing it, the spiral symbol briefly appearing in his right eye when they begin to think "it" lied to him and questioning just what the Recreyo members really are, all but outright saying Recreyo-chan was the one SCP-049 was referring to, was the one responsible for reviving Den, and had orchestrated the entire situation to justify Recreyo being transferred to another facility and labelled as SCP's.
  • She finally makes her move following "What YouTubers Don't Tell You.", trying and succeeding to kidnap and replace Curt, having the rest of the crew partake in another SCP scenario, successfully killing Christian and Kristine while tricking Ivan and Den into helping her, the episode ending on a cliffhanger, revealing herself to them as the credits begin glitching out entirely as she's all but won.
    Recreyo-chan: You've all done well listening to everything I've said. And now I have everything I need... to end the scenario.
• Gratuitous Latin: During "We Found a Secret in this Cabin..", an Ominous Visual Glitch occurs when the message found in the puzzle is displayed, changing to read "Protesne me videre?", roughly translating to "Do you want to see me?"
• Greater-Scope Villain: She served as this for the events of "Can You Survive The Plague Doctor | SCP-049" due to having manipulated the titular SCP into going after the crew under the pretense that they held the cure for the "The Pestilence". After kidnapping Curt and taking his place, she opts to get directly involved as the Big Bad of "Can You Survive an SCP Containment Breach?" by causing a security breach in the SCP Foundation.
• Hidden Agenda Villain: What exactly she wants is still unclear, the only hint being that she wants to be known about, as many of her messages she leaves behind fall along that idea: "Can you hear me?", "Do you want to see me?", etc.
• Murder Is the Best Solution: She threatens the viewers with a knife if they don't attend the Anime NYC show.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: "Recreyo-chan" is not actually her name, rather it's just the name Recreyo gave her. Her actual name is known by Curt, but he's cut off before he can say it.
• Tragic Villain: She became trapped in the void of the multiverse somehow, with the void becoming the only thing she ever knew or loved. After Recreyo began doing their scenarios though, the portals they were creating tore holes in reality and hurt her in the process, with her attempts at trying to capture Curt being both to stop the tears and make him take her place. Curt comes to realize she's not necessarily "evil", but more broken and desperately trying to survive after failing to protect the only home she ever knew. It's because of this that he takes her with him after they defeat her One-Winged Angel form, hoping he could give her a new home with the Recreyo crew.
