History Characters / Harvester

* CorruptHick: It would be weird if he ''wasn't'' in this game.

Doesn't seem too popular with anybody in Harvest. Think of him as the Barney Fife to Dwayne's Andy Griffith.

* BreakTheCutie: When Karin gets kidnapped, and even moreso when [[spoiler:her Diner is burnt down.]]

* GoodParents: Seems to genuinely care about Karin, and is worried to pieces until she's found... [[spoiler:Until her Diner is burnt down, and she potentially hangs Karin alongside her.]]

Harvest's resident paperboy. Since the Sentinel burnt down, he's decided to keep the business going by ''collecting'' people's papers instead, and making damn sure to let them know that they better have a newspaper for him every morning or something...unfortunate might happen.

* BerserkButton / YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: You better have a paper for him every morning..!

* GoshDangitToHeck: Subverted. He uses all kinds of inoffensive 50's sitcom language...until you piss him off, at which point he'll start breaking out actual cuss words.

* ShutUpKirk: If Steve calls him out on how violent his show he, he counters that the US was ''built'' on violence, and wouldn't be where it is today without the mass slaughter of Native Americans.

* {{Mad Scientist}}: [[spoiler: They're behind a program to churn out {{Serial Killer}}s]]

* [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Politically Incorrect Villains]]: Doesn't get much worse than [[spoiler: manufacturing Serial Killers ''en masse'']]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: The fact that Steve's mom ''isn't'' an abusive, potentially incestuous murderous rapist clues the player in that ''Harvester''is a game ''in universe too''.]]

* ImAHumanitarian: The children are devouring their mother, taking bites out pf her legs before attempting to eat Steve too.

* NiceHat: Possesses a rather fetching top hat.

* LackofEmpathy: Doesn't seem to particularity care about the residents of Harvest.

The host of Range Ryder's Cowboy Roundup, a very violent kid's show that just seems to consist of him killing Indians in violent and gory ways.

* WalkingSpoiler

* BigRedButton: He's got one (that launches nuclear missiles) strapped to where his lower body used to be, in a perfect position to be accidentally leaned on if he shoots and kills you (and even without that, he's the absolutely last person you'd want with something like that.)

* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: The closest thing they get to a comeuppance is if Steve decides to not kill Stephanie. They'll deem the VR simulation a failure, but they still get away with what they did, and will keep on trying to make serial killers.]]

-->'''Portrayed by''':

-->'''Portrayed by''':

* YouAllLookAlike: Both her and Ms. Pottsdam look almost exactly the same, and are played by the same actress.

* ProtagonistJournyToVillain: Subverted [[in the good ending. Played straight in the bad ending]]

* ActingForTwo: [[spoiler:As for many other residents of Harvest, the same actress is re-used in a very different counterpart role inside the Lodge. Whether they're intended to be the same characters, alternate versions, or simply unrelated is never clear. The actress who plays Miss Whaley also plays the Brothel Madam inside the Temple of the Mystery of Lust.]]

* JabbaTableManners: To quote a YouTube comment:

! Steve Mason

'''Portrayed By''': Kurt Kistler

An amnesiac young boy who finds himself thrust into the bizarre situation of needing to gain entry into the town's lodge before the big blood drive. Unfortunately, the means of gaining membership are not at all reasonable. Or morally sound for that matter.

* BreakTheCutie: Is a healthy, sane person at the beginning of the game but Harvest being a screwed up town, his mentality goes along with it, [[spoiler: [[DownerEnding at least in the bad ending.]]]]

A sheriff whose badge seems to just be for show. He rarely fights crime, and instead seems to berate his subordinate Loomis.

* DirtyCop: [[spoiler: He's blackmailing Postmaster Boyle for burning down the Sentinel Newspaper building, and as it turns out he's one of two shareholders of the WHAR TV Station.]]

* JabbaTableManners: To quote a Youtube comment:

** [[spoiler: Of course, this all makes sense when its revealed that the only goal of Harvest is to train Steve to be a good serial killer. His incompetence is to ease Steve into a state of security.]]

The 8 year old daughter of Edna.

* OnlySaneMan: The only normal kid you meet in Harvester.

! Jimmy James

'''Portrayed By''': Christopher Reagen Ammons

* BerserkButton: You'd have a paper for him every morning.

* StreetUrchin: Possibly. He mentions not having parents, but it's unclear if he has a home or not. It's implied that he picks up the papers to keep busy [[spoiler: because he's afraid that the town (or at least Mr. Moynahan) will kill him if he doesn't keep busy.]]

* [[spoiler:MoralGuardians]]: [[spoiler:Criticizes Steve for playing Harvester at the end of the game, saying it will make him violent.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Seems cheerful and nice, but you quickly find out that she's actually pretty terrible. [[spoiler:She sexually assaults Marv regularly, is glad when Mr. Pastorelli accidentally dies, and gets mad at Steve if he saves Karen. If Steve is executed in jail or at the "blood drive," she seems awful happy about it.]]

* TheSociopath: When he hears about Karen's disappearance, he goes over to Edna's house to torment and take advantage of her.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Feels this way about Edna to the point where he resents Karen's existence. You find out from Edna that he regularly bothers her.

* StayInTheKitchen: Thinks that Edna shouldn't be raising Karen by herself that that she needs a man in her life.

Owner of Edna's Diner (not "DNA's Diner" as everyone likes to call it,) who raises her daughter Karen by herself.

* BreakTheCutie: When Karen gets kidnapped, and even moreso when [[spoiler:her Diner is burnt down.]]
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: [[spoiler:After the diner is burnt down, and she takes Karen with her.]]
* GoodParents: Seems to genuinely care about Karen, and is worried to pieces until she's found... [[spoiler: Until her Diner is burnt down, and she potentially hangs Karen alongside her.]]

! Karen Fitzpatrick

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Doesn't seem to remember much about TheFifties, despite supposedly having been raised during then...

* OnlySaneWoman

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Seems cheerful and nice, but you quickly find out she's pretty terrible. [[spoiler:For one thing, she sexually assaults Marv all the time, is glad when Mr. Pastorelli accidentally dies, and gets mad at Steve if he saves Karen.]]
* [[spoiler:BondageIsBad]]: [[spoiler:She keeps her husband locked in a bedroom full of bondage equipment, where she regularly physically and sexually abuses him.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Surprisingly, in regards to the Lodge. He doesn't trust the Lodge in the least, and the only reason he'd want Steve to join the lodge is to infiltrate it.

* DepravedKidsShowHost

* [[spoiler:HumanSacrifice]]: [[spoiler:They require one in order to create a serialkiller, where the subject kills a real person, thus requiring them to kidnap both Steve and Stephanie; Stephanie is only there to be the final sacrifice into turning Steve evil.]]
* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini]]

* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead]]: [[spoiler: In both endings, but Steve can easily kill her for real in the bad one.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing

* StepfordSmiler

* MoralityPet: Played with. He's one of the only characters that the player can't kill, but he's also among the most disturbing citizens of Harvest.

* DirtyCommunists: ''Hates'' 'em. Implying Steve is one results in an automatic GameOver.

* SadistTeacher: He ''is'' [[spoiler: second in command at the Lodge]], after all.

* [[spoiler:OffingTheOffspring]]: [[spoiler: Hangs Karin along with [[DrivenToSuicide herself]] after you burnt down her diner.]]

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Their CampGay tendences make them some of the more comedic characters in ''Harvester''. However if you go back to the fire station at night after you've stolen their bolt of cloth (you can't go back during the day), you'll find that [[spoiler: they've killed the male model that they always draw, apparently because they thought he stole it.]]

! Mr Pastorelli

* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: Seeing the deaths of [[spoiler:Edna and Stephanie]] does little to stop him from eating.
