6! Party Members (Current and Former)
7!! James Woodrock
8[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WDYDJames4_5162.png]]
9[[caption-width-right:220:''"Oh hi Jane, did you bring my walrus?"'']]
10James is the main character, although not the leader of the party. With rare exceptions, he is the only character under the fans' direct control.
11
12* AllThereInTheManual: Literally... and ''in-universe''. James has a copy of the Rulebook for the "game" that WDYD is based off of.
13%%* AttractiveBentGender
14* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Unavoidable given that he is controlled by a large number of different people.
15* CosmicPlaything: The entity playing with him? The fan base.
16* DeathIsCheap: James has died and come back to life once now.
17%%* TheHero
18%%* IdiotHero
19%%* OurElvesAreDifferent
20* RealityWarper: One EpilepticTree puts James as a [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi-esque]] master of the universe:
21** Every time he tries to do something (such as infiltrating a high-security conference or [[spoiler:escaping from cages in Verzaft's lair]]), it eventually works out.
22** So far, nobody has suspected him of not being an ambassador, despite his obviously non-aristocratic behavior.
23** He can pull objects from nowhere.
24** The fairy potion he makes early in the game [[spoiler:just happens to turn him into a god]].
25%%* VitriolicBestBuds: Arguably, with Techy or Jane.
26%%* TheWatson: Originally; mostly averted now that he has the Rulebook.
27
28!! Jane
29[[quoteright:211:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WDYDJane2_1520.png]]
30[[caption-width-right:211:''"Your ignorance amuses me, elf."'']]
31
32Jane served as the party's ''de facto'' leader, and originally was the resident Undead representative, until she was cured in Chapter 2.
33
34* BackFromTheDead: In her BackStory, even if she slightly CameBackWrong (Undead are created by botched resurrection spells). Then in Chapter 2, she came back from Back From The Dead.
35* TheComicallySerious: [[RunningGag Jane is a killjoy!]]
36%%* TheLancer or TheSmartGuy
37* NotQuiteBackToNormal: Inverted. She is now even more back to normal than she was previously, since she is no longer undead.
38%%* OnlySaneMan
39%%* TheStoic
40* TheUndead: Originally introduced as the token Undead.
41
42!! Techy
43[[quoteright:147:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WDYDTechy3_2485.png]]
44[[caption-width-right:147:''"Afta death, every beeing has a certen peried av frejness, in which a small part uv it iz alive."'']]
45
46%%* TheBigGuy or TheLancer
47* SdrawkcabAlias: While impersonating the real ambassador, he goes by Yhcet.
48%%* FunetikAksent
49%%* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
50%%* PsychopathicManchild: Has the highest deliberate body count of any character.
51* {{Transplant}}: From Quest for Kongregation, the precursor to WDYD.
52%%* VitriolicBestBuds: Debatable with James.
53
54!! Krinn
55%%* TheBigGuy or TheHeart
56%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Becomes this when she temporarily takes over the main character role.
57
58!! Ray
59%%* TheHeart: Used to be this.
60%%* HumansAreSpecial: But, a different kind of "special"...
61%%* SpoonyBard
62
63!! Deblin
64%%* HoYay: Deblin really enjoys hanging around with James, preferably without the rest of the party.
65%%* SixthRanger
66%%* TokenEvilTeammate: Unless Techy counts.
67
68!! Penny
69!! Douglas
70!! Gloria
71!! Nathan
72[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WDYDNathan_5527.png]]
73A dark elf recently turned vampire.
74* FantasticRacism: Is strongly against the idea of giving vampires citizenship, even after being turned into one himself.
75%%* {{Jerkass}}
76%%* LawfulStupid
77
78!! Fillmore
79[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WDYDFillmore_1803.png]]
80A vampire. Nathan hates him.
81
82! The Guardian Sisters
83!! Spring
84!! Violet
85!! Holy
86!! Nova
87!! Fade
88
89! Antagonists
90!! Verzaft
91%%* BigBad
92%%* SchmuckBait: How he got Team James to come to his Tower Of Doom. [[IdiotHero Not that they need that much bait.]]
93%%* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:After his dragon (the literal one) throws Team James out of his tower. He also gets Murray, and uses him to make a continent fly.]]
94
95!! K'on
96%%* TheDragon: About his only role so far has been as Verzaft's Dragon. [[spoiler:Not the actual dragon, the trope.]]
97
98!! Rhode
99%%* EvilVersusEvil: Possibly, with Rhode's unknown employer.
100
101!! The Bandit Chief
102
