History YMMV / SurvivalOfTheFittest

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Josie Knight, a new terrorist in V6, quickly became a favourite due to her high tier [[DeadpanSnarker snark]].

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Anastasia Arcadia in TV2, who was already divisive with her over-the-top quirky hedonist persona, and either won readers over or lost them completely when she went off the deep end.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: In TV2, the couple Vahka Basayev and Regina Aston is referred to OOC as [[{{IncrediblyLamePun}} Vagina]].

* BaseBreakingCharacter: [[InsufferableGenius Gavin Hunter]] is either an interesting concept with flawed execution or an affront to all humanity, depending on who you ask. It doesn't help that his handler ragequit the site after his escape attempt failed.

* MarySue: Plenty of them show up in the application process. Some make it onto the island, but far less than there used to be.

* NightmareFuel: ...some scenes use gore in a skilled enough manner to give the reader a serious case of the willies. A classic example would have to be Damien Carter-Madison's death scene, where he is ''heavily'' implied to be dragged into the gates of Hell by his former classmates. It's... unnerving and frightening, to say the least. [[NightmareFuel/SurvivalOfTheFittest Now has its own page.]]

* MemeticBadass: Bobby Jacks, who in-game managed to headshot a student from behind without looking at them. This led to tales of Bobby ricocheting bullets [[Franchise/MetalGear Revolver Ocelot-style]] (which led to the nickname Bocelot,) killing students from several threads away, and firing his gun in v3 and killing a student in v4.

* BaseBreaker: [[EvilBrit Maxwell Lombardi]]. He's either hated for being cliche and over the top, or loved for those exact same reasons.

* MemeticSexGod / MemeticMolester / LauncherOfAThousandShips: [[ReallyGetsAround Rosa Fiametta]] tends to be seen as such tropes by handlers. For a period of time, there was an actual rule on the kink meme about requesting her.

** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "CRAIG HOYLE IS GOING TO]] [[{{Firefly}} RAPE YOU AND WEAR YOUR SKIN AS A COAT!"]]

* CompleteMonster: Cody Jenson of V1 after his first two kills. Characters like Danya, Riz, Lenny Priestly, Adam Reeves, Sarah Atwell, Maxwell Lombardi, Aaron Hughes, and Johnny Lamika have all also been referred to as such.

* BrokenBase: The site has changed hands between v4 and v5, and while the site's in no danger of dying out a very few number of people have left due to the according change in atmosphere.

* BrokenBase: The site has changed hands between v4 and v5, and while the site's in no danger of dying out a fair number of people have left due to the according change in atmosphere.

* BaseBreaker: The site has changed hands between v4 and v5, and while the site's in no danger of dying out a fair number of people have left due to the according change in atmosphere.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mr. Kwong. It's very unusual for a none-student to get much attention (either in or out of character), but you'd be hard pressed to find a handler that doesn't like him.

** [[AxeCrazy Liam Brooks]], full stop. Same reasoning as above [[BreakTheCutie post-breakdown.]]

** This trope could also easily explain why Orn "Dutchy" Ayers is so popular on the board. Dutchy is an [[FunnyForeigner Icelandic]], [[BiTheWay free-loving]] [[NerdsAreSexy comic book nerd]] who watches soccer and cries TenderTears over the plight of third-world countries among other things. Add in his in-game posts, which makes many handlers see him as TheWoobie, and his habit of wearing a PointlessBandAid over his nose, and you have a character who [[EnsembleDarkhorse most of the board adores]].
*** Which makes his mental scarring and subsequent death all that more painful.

** [[spoiler: Alex White's abuse of Rosa in ''Monsters''.]]

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Jimmy Brennan and Liam "Brook" Brooks both qualify. In Jimmy's case, he was a small kid who got picked on quite a bit, and now he's '''''snapped'''''. Brook was a rather sweet guy, but after being [[AfraidOfBlood shocked with his greatest fear repeatedly]] and watching the girl he loved die in front of his very eyes, he's gone off the deep end a little.]]
