Survival
Traz Felding
Former member of the IBRCO (International Biohazard Research and Combat Organization), and protagonist of Survival 1.- Action Survivor
- Brutal Honesty: Goes along with Good Is Not Nice. For example, he doesn't hide his opinion that a little girl is probably dead and there is no hope for her, not even from her own grandfather.
- Good Is Not Nice
- Heroic BSoD: In a flashback, Traz takes it badly when his partner Lynally is murdered.
- Platonic Life Partners: With Amp and Jackel after the end, respectively.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Traz can be quite the Jerkass to other people (such as taking Farslow's death lightly), but does go out of his way to help.
- Say My Name: Does this for Lynally when she dies.
Lynally Sharpner
Traz's partner back when he was employed at the IBRCO.- Back from the Dead: Implied in the True Ending. Her body is the subject of the 'Adversary' project.
- Posthumous Character: Is killed in the line of duty before the events of the game.
Jackel/Jamie Williams/Lady Ananke
Ico Corp.'s top scientist, and creator of the MN-VST Viral Beam.- Berserk Button: A minor example. She tells off Traz when he calls her 'cupcake.'
- Guest-Star Party Member: She is a playable character in certain parts of the game.
- Lightning Bruiser: Faster and stronger than the main character and the other side character. If she stayed in the group, she would quickly become a
Game-Breaker. - Luke, I Am Your Father: Daughter of Ixzion and sister of Camille.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With both Traz and Amp after the end.
- Sole Surviving Scientist: That you can meet during the game, anyway.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Created the viral beam that started the zombie outbreak. Meaning she is indirectly (partially) responsible for the virus itself. Camille also tries to use her to cause the end of the world to complete her and Ixzion's plan.
Tony "Amp" Peterson
Resident colonel stationed at the military base of Mainfield Island.- Desk Jockey: At least he was before the zombies showed up.
- Guest-Star Party Member
- Platonic Life Partners: With Traz and Jackel after the end, respectively.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Traz; an interesting case of meeting for the first time and becoming this soon after.
- White Mage: When he first joins, the player can decide whether he is a healer or a thief.
Ixzion
The Big Bad of Survival 1.- Abusive Parents: Is Jackel's father... and the one responsible for her Body Horror transformation.
- Big Bad: Until Camille kills him and takes over the role.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: Wants his species to live alongside humans. First step: destroy the currently existing world.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Father of Jackel and Camille.
- Villains Never Lie: When he and Traz meet, he gives him the option to join him in exchange for money and women. He actually keeps his end of the bargain.
Camille
A demonic child that causes problems for Traz throughout the game.- Creepy Child: And green.
- Enfant Terrible
- Dragon Ascendant
- Final Boss
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Daughter of Ixzion and sister of Jackel.
- Patricide: Kills both Ehan (her adoptive grandfather) and Ixzion (her real father).
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: "Will you give me a hug?"
- Ret-Gone
- The Dragon
- The Starscream
- Trash Talk: Most of her interactions with Traz devolve into this.
Ico's Experiments
Artificially created demons made by Ico. They serve as the games bosses, each one named after a specific emotion.- Achilles' Heel: When they were being developed, they were meant to have armor strong enough to repel most, if not all, firepower. Ico released them early, meaning the do not have this armor and are thus perfectly beatable by conventional means.
- Flat Character: Most of these characters don't interact with Traz beyond their boss fights.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad
- Trash Talk: Like Camille, they engage in this with Traz on a constant basis.
Farslow
Rich socialite who owns Mainfield Island. It is through him that Ico gained clearance to conduct their activities on the island.- Asshole Victim
- Fat Bastard: If Traz's insults are to be taken literally.
- Kick the Dog: One of the first things he does after being introduced is to belittle Traz for being poor.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Letting Ico Corp. run their operations on his island, leading to a zombie outbreak.
- Zombie Infectee
Ehan Vhison
Owner of a local shop on Mainfield Island.- Parental Substitute: Camille is Ixzion's daughter, so Ehan isn't her biological grandfather. That doesn't stop him from treating her like his real granddaughter though.
- Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: Of course, this may be because he is in the middle of a zombie outbreak.
- We Hardly Knew Ye
Talvarius Ico
The current president of Ico Corp. After inviting Traz to Mainfield Island on a job offer, he captures him and locks him up, starting off the plot.General Eagle
Traz's (and Lynally's) former superior, who is the head of the IBRCO.- Bad Boss
