* BerserkButton: All of them have their own unique personalities, so they each have their own things that tick them off. If Elora responds to them by saying things that press any of their buttons, they will be much more likely to kill her. The one thing that they all have in common is that they don't like you outright ignoring their questions.

Special mention goes to Donald, The Grandmother, The Detective, and Charles, what with them being a priest, an old lady, an officer, and a gentleman respectively.
* DisproportionateRetribution: As mentioned above, they will all kill you for ignoring them when they talk to you.
* InvincibleVillain: As Elora cannot attack them, they are this.
* MortonsFork: Talking to them is very likely to cause them to do horrible things to Elora, but keeping quiet and not answering their questions will set them off as well.

WouldHitAGirl: Most of the male Strangers Strangers, don't have any problems with murdering Elora.%%no citation



* AxCrazy: He might be trying to hide it with his polite exterior, but he is very violent, being a serial child rapist/torturer/murderer. He is also deluded, believing that God will protect someone like him, and that, because it's in his nature to do what he does, God will not judge him for it. His craziness and violentness is fully brought out in his killing animation.
* BaldOfEvil: He has no head hair except for sideburns.
* BastardBastard: His mother gave birth to him out of wedlock. His father is never even mentioned, so he obviously wasn't going to help raise him. This was one of the reasons why his mother had to give him up at birth. We have no idea how his mother got pregnant, so it could have been a rape for all we know.
* BerserkButton: Several, which will make your death more likely if they are pressed. Insulting his religion, badmouthing his mother, wearing perfume, and insulting his age. He also hates anyone who goes against his religion in any way; as a result, he despises fornicators, blasphemers, and all members of the LGBT community.
* BlatantLies: In one of his dialogue options, he tells Elora to relax, claiming that he is harmless. Oh yeah, about as harmless as any other serial rapist/torturer/murderer.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Aside from rape and murder, he likes inflicting this upon children too.
* CreepyMonotone: His primary manner of speaking.
* DepravedHomosexual: Nonchalantly admits going after children, specifically mentioning little boys. Whether girls or women interest him is unknown.
* EvilOrphan: He was forsaken at birth by his unmarried mother, and was raised by priests. He never knew her, and he reveals that he knows that she died years ago. We never even hear about his father or if he's still alive. His official character biography reveals that he [[SelfMadeOrphan murdered the priests who raised him]] out of revenge for molesting him as a child.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He talks very politely, but he's still a monster.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears a pair of glasses.
* FreudianExcuse: The Father was abandoned as a baby by his young mother and raised by priests, some of whom abused him sexually. It's stated he didn't even realize child molestation was wrong until he was well into adulthood, and it's likely this is the cause of his "itch" to molest children himself.
* FreudianSlip: One of his dialogue options is "I'm sure they (Elora's parents) will miss... I mean, that they ''do'' miss you.
* HateSink: Besides his creepily polite exterior, The Father is a SerialKiller, PedophilePriest, SerialRapist, has practiced ColdBloodedTorture on countless innocent little children, and is a genocidal homophobe.
* HeManWomanHater: He hates "whores" and wants to kill them. He thinks that any woman that wears perfume is one.
* {{Hypocrite}}: This murderous PedophilePriest not only still has the gall to preach about "whores and heretics" but also hates the LGBT community despite preying upon little boys.
* {{Jumpscare}}: "YOU HERETIC!”
* KnightTemplar: In addition to being a PedophilePriest, Donald is a SinisterMinister who murders people who go against his religion. He thinks that by going after them, he can keep his pedophilic urges at bay.
* ObviouslyEvil: Even his polite exterior is easily seen through.
* PedophilePriest: The basis of his character.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Some of the heathens he refers to include all LGBTQ members. Hypocritical coming from a man preying on little boys.
** He also refers to Elora's "dirty little whore mouth" should she insult him.
* PsychoticSmirk: His ''default'' expression. It goes along with his CreepyMonotone and FauxAffablyEvil attitude to make him creepy.%%zce,
* PunkInTheTrunk: He clearly has someone locked in his trunk. You can hear their muffled screaming.
* SerialKiller: Along with being a SerialRapist, as he admits to raping and murdering countless little children. He also kills "whores" and "heretics".
* SinisterMinister: While he is primarily a PedophilePriest, that won't stop him from babbling on about his religion to you as he drives.
* SuddenlyShouting: Speaks in whispers for the most part, but in his killing animation, he shouts "YOU HERETIC!”
* WellIntentionedExtremist: A ''very'' dark and warped version of one. Donald does not like the fact that he is compelled to rape, torture, and kill little boys, so, to try and lessen his "itch" to do so, he focuses on murdering adults, believing that it will lessen his pedophilic desires. He primarily goes after people that go against his religion, who he refers to as "heretics".
* WouldHurtAChild: Would rape, torture, and kill a child.

* ActionGirl: Notably averted. Despite being the main character and heroine, she has no means of actually defending herself and can only try to keep the strangers from attacking by giving the correct responses to their questions and keeping an eye on them. This is part of the experience of being at the mercy of a complete stranger to demonstrate how perilous and risky hitchhiking can be.
* AloneWithThePsycho: She's stuck in cars with various dangerous people, including a sociopathic PedophilePriest and a DepravedBisexual (and potential rapist) of a woman who gets off to live streams of people being tortured and killed.
* BrainyBrunette: Elora has brown hair, and she is described as a bookish girl who got a 4.0 average in school and even attended an Ivy League college.
* TheDeterminator: She will make it home to see her mother before she dies, even if she has to hitchhike her way there with complete strangers. Not even a serial child rapist/torturer/murderer, a Norman Bates type momma's boy, a {{monster clown}}, or a {{depraved bisexual}} female rapist will stop her.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: A very bizarre case. She has a set appearance, and despite WordOfGod describing her as a timid bookworm, all of her dialogue choices are optional and the player can't hear her voice, so she can either fulfill her canonical personality, or be a mindlessly belligerent, childish {{Jerkass}}.
* ImmobilePlayerCharacter: Completely justified, as Elora is in a car for the majority of the game (you can still free-roam the highway once you're out, however).
* {{Jerkass}}: While canonically Elora is a quiet, bookish girl, some of the responses you can give the Strangers are hilariously offensive.

* BerserkButton: All of them have their own unique personalities, so they each have their own things that tick them off. If Elora responds to them by saying things that press any of their buttons, they will be much more likely to kill her. The one thing that they all have in common is that they don't like you outright ignoring their questions.
* BigBadEnsemble: With the exceptions of [[spoiler: Lydia and Charles]], they all likely work alone. They probably don't even know about each other [[spoiler: though Lydia can visit Father Donald's website in ''Videogame/WelcomeToTheGame'']].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: They all appear to be willing to help you, but they are actually potential murderers who will try to do you harm. Special mention goes to Donald, The Grandmother, The Detective, and Charles, what with them being a priest, an old lady, an officer, and a gentleman respectively.
* DisproportionateRetribution: As mentioned above, they will all kill you for ignoring them when they talk to you.
* InvincibleVillain: As Elora cannot attack them, they are this.
* KarmaHoudini: In the current gameplay stage, all that happens at the end is Elora gets to her mother in time. There is no indication that they are brought to justice. This may change in the final game.
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Only Donald, Lydia, Carol, and Charles have been named currently.
* MortonsFork: Talking to them is very likely to cause them to do horrible things to Elora, but keeping quiet and not answering their questions will set them off as well.
* OnlyOneName: Of the four that have been named, Donald is the only one with a last name currently ([=McArthur=])
* TalkativeLoon: They all try to make conversation with you. If you don't answer them correctly, they will kill you.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Subverted. There are two women (Lydia and The Grandmother), but apart from [[spoiler: Lydia and Charles being in a relationship, and the former knowing of Father Donald due to visiting his website]], they presumably have no affiliation with each other.
* WouldHitAGirl: Most of the male Strangers, don't have any problems with murdering Elora.

* AxCrazy: He might be trying to hide it with his polite exterior, but he is very violent, being a serial child rapist/torturer/murderer. He is also deluded, believing that God will protect someone like him, and that, because it's in his nature to do what he does, God will not judge him for it. His craziness and violentness is fully brought out in his killing animation.
* BaldOfEvil: He has no head hair except for sideburns.
* BastardBastard: His mother gave birth to him out of wedlock. His father is never even mentioned, so he obviously wasn't going to help raise him. This was one of the reasons why his mother had to give him up at birth. We have no idea how his mother got pregnant, so it could have been a rape for all we know.
* BerserkButton: Several, which will make your death more likely if they are pressed. Insulting his religion, badmouthing his mother, wearing perfume, and insulting his age. He also hates anyone who goes against his religion in any way; as a result, he despises fornicators, blasphemers, and all members of the LGBT community.
* BlatantLies: In one of his dialogue options, he tells Elora to relax, claiming that he is harmless. Oh yeah, about as harmless as any other serial rapist/torturer/murderer.
* TheCameo: His website can be found on the Deep Web in ''Videogame/WelcomeToTheGame''.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Aside from rape and murder, he likes inflicting this upon children too.
* CreepyMonotone: His primary manner of speaking.
* DepravedHomosexual: Nonchalantly admits going after children, specifically mentioning little boys. Whether girls or women interest him is unknown.
* EvilOrphan: He was forsaken at birth by his unmarried mother, and was raised by priests. He never knew her, and he reveals that he knows that she died years ago. We never even hear about his father or if he's still alive. His official character biography reveals that he [[SelfMadeOrphan murdered the priests who raised him]] out of revenge for molesting him as a child.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He talks very politely, but he's still a monster.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears a pair of glasses.
* FreudianExcuse: The Father was abandoned as a baby by his young mother and raised by priests, some of whom abused him sexually. It's stated he didn't even realize child molestation was wrong until he was well into adulthood, and it's likely this is the cause of his "itch" to molest children himself.
* FreudianSlip: One of his dialogue options is "I'm sure they (Elora's parents) will miss... I mean, that they ''do'' miss you."
* TheFundamentalist: Shows signs of this, with his monologues about "whores and heretics".
* HateSink: Besides his creepily polite exterior, The Father is a SerialKiller, PedophilePriest, SerialRapist, has practiced ColdBloodedTorture on countless innocent little children, and is a genocidal homophobe.
* HeManWomanHater: He hates "whores" and wants to kill them. He thinks that any woman that wears perfume is one.
* {{Hypocrite}}: This murderous PedophilePriest not only still has the gall to preach about "whores and heretics" but also hates the LGBT community despite preying upon little boys.
* {{Jumpscare}}: "YOU HERETIC!"
* KnightTemplar: In addition to being a PedophilePriest, Donald is a SinisterMinister who murders people who go against his religion. He thinks that by going after them, he can keep his pedophilic urges at bay.
* ObviouslyEvil: Even his polite exterior is easily seen through.
* PedophilePriest: The basis of his character.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Some of the heathens he refers to include all LGBTQ members. Hypocritical coming from a man preying on little boys.
** He also refers to Elora's "dirty little whore mouth" should she insult him.
* PsychoticSmirk: His ''default'' expression. It goes along with his CreepyMonotone and FauxAffablyEvil attitude to make him creepy.
* PunkInTheTrunk: He clearly has someone locked in his trunk. You can hear their muffled screaming.
* SerialKiller: Along with being a SerialRapist, as he admits to raping and murdering countless little children. He also kills "whores" and "heretics".
* SinisterMinister: While he is primarily a PedophilePriest, that won't stop him from babbling on about his religion to you as he drives.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Carol may be a fat, basement-dwelling nerd, but he's still monstrous enough to be part of a rogue's gallery that includes a serial child rapist/torturer/murderer, a MonsterClown, and an UnholyMatrimony that consists of a DepravedBisexual rapist/murderer and her boyfriend.

* AxCrazy: His animation in the "Meet The Strangers" trailer shows his right cheek twitching repeatedly, implying that he's violently insane. None of the other strangers did this, so he may very well be the least sane of them all.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He is a momma's boy after all.
* {{Expy}}: Very likely one of [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates]]. They are both [[AxCrazy ax-crazy]] momma's boy horror villains. Norman's status as a horror icon makes this even more likely.
* MommasBoy: It's right there in his name.

* AddledAddict: It's implied that he is a drug addict. He has raised scars across his arms, and his trailer animation shows him rubbing his arm, a common trait of drug addicts. The unhappy expression on his face implies that things aren't going well for him.
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: He is the least creepy/threatening looking of the strangers. In the "Meet The Strangers" trailer, he is the only one who neither scowls, gives a creepy look, or twitches. Because he's one of the Strangers though, he's almost certainly a bad guy.

* TheGhost: You can't see him, but you know about him because you can hear his banging and muffled screaming.
* KilledOffscreen: You can't save him, so it can be assumed that Donald kills him after the events of the ride. It is possible that the final game will change this, however.
* PunkInTheTrunk: He's been locked up in Donald's trunk.
* SacrificialLamb: He serves to let Elora know that Donald is definitely a threat to her.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Donald does not react to hearing him scream, despite knowing that Elora now knows that he has kidnapped someone. Elora will have to act the same, ignoring his screaming and pretending that she doesn't hear him.

* ActionGirl: Notably averted. Despite being the main character and heroine, she has no means of actually defending herself and can only try to keep the strangers from attacking by giving the correct responses to their questions and keeping an eye on them. This is part of the experience of being at the mercy of a complete stranger to demonstrate how perilous and risky hitchhiking can be.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: A ''very'' dark version of one. Donald does not like the fact that he is compelled to rape, torture, and kill little boys, so, to try and lessen his "itch" to do so, he focuses on murdering adults, believing that it will lessen his pedophilic desires. He primarily goes after people that go against his religion, who he refers to as "heretics".
