[[folder:Apex]]
!!Apex/[[spoiler:Bastian]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/apex.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Played by {{Creator/Lanipator}}]]
Apex is a..."man" who appears to be a Tribal. He wanders the wastes in search of a man who came to this place before he did.
----
* BrutishBulls: His general theme is bulls, given his headstrong but simple nature, and his predilection for charging directly into foes.
* ClosetGeek: Towards the end of Episode 4, it's revealed that [[spoiler:he's the author and illustrator of his own comic book]].
* CrazyPrepared: Apex is a master tracker and is well-versed on the dangers of the wastelands, able to rattle off facts about Deathclaws at whim.
* TheFaceless: Apex is only ever seen wearing a well-decorated Brahmin skull, which he never takes off.
* GlorySeeker: He makes it a point to tell those that witness his prowess to spread the name of "The Apex" and tales of his might.
* GutturalGrowler: Has a low, gravelly voice.
* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: [[spoiler:He draws his own comic book that depicts the adventures of "The Apex", based on his actual adventures, and has added in additional characters based on his current friends.]]
* MadeOfIron: Apex isn't just strong, he's ''tough''. He gets shot at least a couple of times and he only ever reacts to it with more curiosity than anything else.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Refers to himself as ''The'' Apex, not Apex.
* StoutStrength: Apex is the shortest party member by a bit, but makes up for it by being stronger than any other party member by quite a bit.
* WildMan: Apex is as close to a wild human as you could possibly get, having only vague ideas of civilization, eating like an animal, and speaking in terse sentences.
* WolverineClaws: His actual ''weapon'' of choice is a Deathclaw Gauntlet that he can put to devastating use.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Apex sometimes slips into this.

[[folder:Alvin]]
!! Alvin
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alvin_4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Played by [=HeyMrRabbit=]]]
Alvin is a mechanic and salvager from the town of Riverside, who only wants to do good in a world where good is hard to come by.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Alvin's skin is permanently tanned from years of working out in the hot sun.
* ApologeticAttacker: Even when he got caught by slavers, he only ever wanted to escape, and as a rule prefers to use violence as a last resort.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His fighting style, aided by the use of two PowerFists.
* HeroicBuild: Alvin's a pretty jacked young man.
* MrFixit: His old job in Riverside, and he puts it to good use to get everyone a free night out of the elements by fixing a Nuka Cola fridge, something that'd been dead for likely years at that point.
* MundaneUtility: In a twist, Alvin would actually prefer to use his Power Fists for what they were ''made'' to do: construction and industry.
* NiceGuy: Alvin's a beam of sunshine in the Missouri Wasteland, making him stand out just by being so openly friendly where everyone else is at best a bit (understandably) cautious of strangers.
* RealMenEatMeat: His favorite food is Brahmin steak, served rare.
* TokenGoodTeammate: His unflinching politeness and moral character makes him stand out hard against the rest of the party, who are clearly...''off.''

[[folder:Cynthia]]
!! Cynthia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cynthia_7.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Played by Caitlin Elizabeth]]
Even for the bizarre world of the wastes, Cynthia seems to stick out like a sore thumb; she is an unusually prim and proper woman who wears a Nurse's uniform that wouldn't look out of place in a [=WW2=] movie, and has almost robotically precise medical skills.
----
* ArtificialHuman:[[spoiler: She's pretty obviously a Gen-2 synth, only aided in her deception by the fact that they would only be known to people in the Commonwealth Wasteland, which she is now hundreds of miles away from.]]
* BarbieDollAnatomy: She is an older variant of Synth, and as such when she disrobes she has no defining features.
* BrainUploading: She [[spoiler:best describes herself as having "two" births. One where she was human, and one where she was a synth, though it's unclear whether or not this is just an implanted memory.]]
* CombatMedic: She might be a nurse by trade, but she is ''very'' handy with an assault rifle.
* DissonantSerenity: Most of the time she effects a calm, matronly tone that only ever gets raised in extreme duress.
* TheGadfly: Her hobby since meeting the party is flustering Alvin, taking advantage of his extreme bashfulness whenever possible.
--->'''Cynthia:''' Please Alvin, describe ''in detail'' what I look when I am like out of my dress.
* GuileHero: Cynthia adapts quickly to the company she keeps while keeping her same motherly tone: she becomes assertive and decisive against the slavers, complimentary and a little flirty while being "treated" for her wounds by Alvin.
* KnifeNut: An ''extremely'' subdued variant. She hides a plethora of throwing knives under her skirt.
* PunnyName
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Cynthia's [[spoiler:synthetic]] nature means she can't eat or drink anything to maintain the illusion, and any damage she suffers will need repairs by someone better suited to technology than she is.
* SilkHidingSteel: While she may only look like a prim and proper nurse and acts like it, she can kick ass harder than nearly anybody else.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Only the spelling of her name and distance from the Commonwealth hides her identity.
* TimeAbyss: If her vague memories are in fact correct, she remembers life from before the Great War. [[spoiler:If they're even hers to begin with.]]
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:Possibly. It's heavily implied she may have been human in the past.]]

Louise, by all accounts, seems like a perfectly normal waster from the nearby Vaults when the group first finds her, but she's unusually worried about a travelling companion named "Phil" that she seems to have been separated from...[[spoiler: A traveling companion who is only a pile of bones.]]

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: [[spoiler:Phil is perfectly bleached-white bones, which indicates he's been dead for quite awhile.]]
* MustHaveCaffeine: She really seems to like coffee, being effectively a zombie for most of the day.
* NoodleIncident: Has apparently been to Vault 85, and did ''not'' care for the experience.
* PinballProjectile: She has incredible shooting skill, able to ricochet bullets off of surfaces.
* TalkingToThemself: On the road, she can be heard whispering to herself. [[spoiler:She's talking to Phil, the skeleton in her bag.]]
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: As she explains to Cynthia, she is ''perfectly aware'' that Phil [[spoiler:is dead...''most of the time.'']]
* ThePollyanna: She takes pretty much all bad news in stride, assuming that life will always try and throw bad things at you. Whether or not she's actually like this however...
