!!Jenkins
* GenreSavvy: Displays almost encyclopedic knowledge of how an episode has to go, in addition to various tv tropes.

!!InGeneral
The main characters of the show ''Chronicles of the Intrepid.'' Very little is known about their actual personalities when not under control of the Narrative.
* DoomMagnet: When under control of the narrative.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When not under the grip of the Narrative, they're perfectly nice, approachable people - with the (possible) exception of Kerensky, though some of this probably comes from stress.
!!Kerensky
The Anton Chekov expy.
* IronButtMonkey: He will reliably survive anything. It's suggested that outside of the narrative, he's at least ''partially'' aware of this and hates it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can ''absolutely'' be an asshole, but it's heavily suggested some of this comes down to stress. It's shown that he does have good qualities - loyalty to those he loves, willingness to save [[spoiler: Hester/Paulson]]...

!!In General
* CargoCult: In a way. They know from experience that the Narrative is real and that something will override logic, their free will, sanity, and science... but with the exception of Jenkins, refuse to believe they're fictional.
!!Collins
* DirtyCoward: She will comfortably throw any other crew members she can into the meatgrinder of the Narrative just so she survives.

!!Nick Weinstein
The head writer of the show.
* ButtMonkey: Considering that a lot of the novel centers around his characters (and others) telling him that he's a bad writer, he probably qualifies.
