History Characters / LoadingReadyRun

* BaldOfAwesome: [[EnforcedTrope Enforced.]] Graham was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2022; he would opt to shave his head during chemotherapy.

* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Invoked; Paul noted during "Blame James" that the Canadian government prefers he ''not'' keep documentation to his creations around. Given that he's created a shade of beige so potent it acts as an [[EmotionSuppression emotion suppressor]] and a ''biological weapon'' (which got his funding rescinded for a time), this is ''absolutely justified''.

A writer and actress within the team and an anchor on ENN/Checkpoint, Kathleen was a latecomer into the WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun circle and thus has a slightly askew sense of humour compared to the rest of the group. She is generally no more sane than most of the cast, and has a massive obsession with cats in her ''Commodore Hustle'' incarnation.

** He also has a bi-weekly[[note]](With occasional schedule hiccups)[[/note]] stream show as part of ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyLive!'' entitled 'The Book of Passwords'. Note that Jer's is the only show with a ''bi''-weekly schedule slot, leaving him still the least-frequently appearing of all the 'regular' cast-members.

!!Tally Heilke

Most often an actor but sometimes a writer in the group, Tally is also a lead organiser on WebVideo/DesertBusForHope, to which she brings not only considered organisation but also her formidible crafting skills. When in sketches, she often plays the more innocent member of the cast. She's also one of the best singers in the group.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Lampshaded, Graham is very much aware that he shares a last name with IronMan and [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire The Lords of Winterfell]].

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Bill in Commodore Hustle and in most normal sketches such as "Small Time".

* TricksterArchetype: If his magical ways in cHustle have indicated anything.

* CrazyPrepared: In cHustle, he has a surprising amount of things [[AssShove in his toolbelt]]. In ''Desert Bus'', he had a surprising amount of useful things on hand at all times. Like Canadian Dry club soda.

* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk With a Heart of at Least Bronze]]: WordOfGod [[http://twitter.com/#!/Matt_LRR/status/17333332513656833 states that WebVideo/CommodoreHustle Matt is actually a decent guy under the asshole exterior]], but he rarely gets a chance to show this.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: While most of his characters are pretty horrible people (with the possible exception of Ryan Quickbender) Matt is the community manager and pretty decent guy on the forums.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: In one of his Youtube Twitter responses, [[Advertising/TheManYourManCouldSmellLike Old Spice Man]] answers the question of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD6_GwTDqKY "Kathleen underscore L R R."]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Her duet with Dale at the end of Desert Bus 4 was pretty amazing.

** He also has a bi-weekly[[note]](With occasional schedule hiccups)[[/note]] stream show as part of ''LoadingReadyLive!'' entitled 'The Book of Passwords'. Note that Jer's is the only show with a ''bi''-weekly schedule slot, leaving him still the least-frequently appearing of all the 'regular' cast-members.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Lampshaded, Graham is very much aware that he shares a last name with IronMan and [[ASongOfIceAndFire The Lords of Winterfell]].

* MacGyvering: The "NES Box", the unholy combining of the {{Xbox}} and the {{NES}}

* NiceHat: Graham has often expressed a protective desire of the LoadingReadyRun's sweet supply of hats.

A writer and actress within the team and an anchor on ENN/Checkpoint, Kathleen was a latecomer into the LoadingReadyRun circle and thus has a slightly askew sense of humour compared to the rest of the group. She is generally no more sane than most of the cast, and has a massive obsession with cats in her ''Commodore Hustle'' incarnation.

** TheBusCameBack: He still appears occasionally in videos, though not as often as he did before. In a nice ContinuityNod, however, in WebVideo/CommodoreHustle, he's only been willing to speak to Tally. Apparently, he ''still'' considers the LoadingReadyRun crew to be horrible people.

* KillerGameMaster

!!Alex Steacy
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Alexsteacy_4420.jpg]]
->''"Hey James, you wanna play Bros Twisting Bros?"''

Mostly working as an actor and editor, Alex lived in Toronto (rather than British Columbia with most of the crew) until recently and thus was not a large part of the show; but since has returned and increased his part enormously, thus elevating him into being a fully fledged cast member([[http://loadingreadyrun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=441377#p441377 source]])... until he set off again in an effort to rebuild his solo efforts. In addition to his Commodore Hustle version as the genuine weirdo of the pack, he is also the key person behind the Crap Shots series of ultra-short films.

'''Tropes Associated with Alex:'''
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Alex genuinely seems to operate on different rules of logic than the rest of the crew.
* CrazyPrepared: In cHustle, he has a surprising amount of things [[AssShove in his toolbelt]]. In ''Desert Bus'', he had a surprising amount of useful things on hand at all times. Like Canadian Dry club soda.
* ChaoticNeutral
* GogglesDoNothing
* RealityWarper: Does plenty of this in "It's Magic". Also does a bit of it in the beginning of "Secret Santa", though mainly as a CallBack.
* TricksterArchetype: If his magical ways in cHustle have indicated anything.
---------------------

Bill is not actually named Bill. A very tall man, Bill works with the crew mostly as an actor, and of late has been reducing his involvement. In his Commodore Hustle incarnation, he mostly appears in league with Morgan.

* DemotedToExtra: After being a main crewmember for the first six years, he's only been in two videos since 2010, one of which was an uncredited cameo. He is however a staple of Desert Bus, as is his mother.

* HeavySleeper: Nothing short of the presence of a ninja, or Morgan threatening his life, will wake him.
* {{Jerkass}}
* ThoseTwoGuys: In an [=LRRcast=] it was said that Bill almost never appears in a video unless Morgan is there with rare exceptions, especially in WebVideo/CommodoreHustle.

!!Alex Steacey

** TheBusCameBack: He still appears occasionally in videos, though not as often as he did before. In a nice ContinuityNod, however, in CommodoreHustle, he's only been willing to speak to Tally. Apparently, he ''still'' considers the LoadingReadyRun crew to be horrible people.

* {{Jerkass}}: In CommodoreHustle only, though, not real life.
* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk With a Heart of at Least Bronze]]: WordOfGod [[http://twitter.com/#!/Matt_LRR/status/17333332513656833 states that CommodoreHustle Matt is actually a decent guy under the asshole exterior]], but he rarely gets a chance to show this.

* PeripheryDemographic: In-universe;[[note]]As in both RealLife and CommodoreHustle[[/note]] he's a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic brony]], which becomes a plot point in the CommodoreHustle episode "Pony Time".
* PlayfulHacker: While not part of his CommodoreHustle variant, Matt's often the first choice to play a computer hacker, such as Crash Override.
* TheSmartGuy: Was this in early episodes of CommodoreHustle, though only because he did extensive research and work on things...when there was a much shorter, easier solution that he ignored. This was dropped shortly.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Not always the protagonist, but gets the lead here and there in CommodoreHustle. Rarely shifts out of this mode.

* StockholmSyndrome: In his CommodoreHustle variation, Tim developed StockholmSyndrome after being tortured by Kathleen and Paul. PlayedForLaughs.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: His appearances have decreased significantly as of late, to the point where he was even taken out of the CommodoreHustle credits. Unlike Tim, though, there has yet to be an explanation.

* MemeticMutation: Invoked, for the purposes of CommodoreHustle's "Viral" segment, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PWqTQLjaLk&feature=channel_video_title like so]]. The Space Jump in question is an ability in ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' allowing the player to effectively fly, and makes traversal of the levels much easier. In the fake viral, Morgan sits by while Matt steadfastly refuses to use Space Jump, and apparently gets so angry that the veins stand out in his neck.

** He still appears frequently in CommodoreHustle, though likely only because those videos are much less frequent than their regular, weekly videos.

* ThoseTwoGuys: In an [=LRRcast=] it was said that Bill almost never appears in a video unless Morgan is there with rare exceptions, especially in commodoreHUSTLE.

** At least until the second DesertBusForHope.

After bribing his way onto the set of DesertBusForHope with a chocolate cake, Tim became a part of the LRR family. Despite some similarities in appearance, he is not a hideous genetic creation created by combining Jer's and Matt's genetic traits. Sadly, recently left the crew to finish his masters, amongst other things. Godspeed, Tim. We all miss you.

* AscendedFanboy: One visit to DesertBusForHope, then a few casual meetings, and he became a new crew member. Although it took a while for it to be "official". And by then he had to depart. Darn.

Most often an actor but sometimes a writer in the group, Tally is also a lead organiser on DesertBusForHope, to which she brings not only considered organisation but also her formidible crafting skills. When in sketches, she often plays the more innocent member of the cast. She's also one of the best singers in the group.

* NightmareFuel: Graham is terrified by the Creepy Dolls. Sadly, they seem to be multiplying in number.
