Hosts

    № (Number) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_336.png
Pronouns: She/Her
A number algebralien spelled out as "No". Dedicated to being The Host of The Acronym of Tomorrow and a good mother to ඞ, she gets easily hassled when juggling both these roles simultaneously.
  • Game Show Host: Oversees the entire game and instructs the contestants to find the grand prize.
  • Parental Substitute: № is the caretaker of ඞ ever since she hatched from her egg. She treats and dotes on the hatchling like her very own daughter.

    ඞ

Pronouns: She/Her
An astronaut-looking algebralien and the co-host to № who treats her more like her daughter than anything.

Contestants

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_332.png
From Left to Right: Blady, SCP-4076, Watery, Soda, Toasty, mp3y, Rockety and Cherry Blossom
The eight contestants tasked to find the elusive grand prize.
  • Hot Bar: Everyone has an inventory bar and stats on par with the RPG-like aesthetic with a customized interface according to their personalities and objects.
    • Blady's single, admittedly pathetic, item slot is offset by xir impressive but unnecessary five weapon slots. Xe get around the former's storage problems using the latter through Loophole Abuse. The interface is jagged with edgy, scrawled writing as if it went through a paper shredder and pieced together and stats that show HP and "Armor" (Defence).
    • Cherry Blossom has two inventory slots, the second smallest only to Blady and Toasty, with their inventory bar in the shape of a Shinto Shrine and stats being in Japanese kanjis. They can store more stuff in their foliage.
    • mp3y's inventory can store up to four items alongside some helpful description for each item. Interface-wise, they have the standard health bar and a unique volume setting because they are an MP3 player.
    • Rockety has a reasonable five inventory slots with pre-stored rations that restores health. As she is a rocketship, her interface is shaped like one and has the unique stats of "Fuel" and "Oxidiser".
    • SCP-4076 has an infinite amount of slots for item storage but stackability doesn't apply so she can only see her inventory three rows down until it fades out of sight. Her interface has a grainy, static effect like a VHS tape with vitality and exposure stat bars.
    • Soda's inventory is in the shape of and works like a vending machine. It is second to SCP-4076's in terms of storage space but has a more manageable twelve slots. The only catch is it needs money to take the items out so she has to be careful in order to prevent inventory lock-out.
    • Toasty has the simplest of the inventories by him physically putting stuff in his toaster slot and has zero stats visible.
    • Watery has not yet revealed his so it's unknown what are his stats, inventory, weapon or equipment layout.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: All of them are able to hear/sense the prompts and either question or outright reject them if it doesn't line with their train of thought.
  • Let's Split Up, Gang!: Because the goal of the competition is to find №'s prize and there can be only one winner, the contestants are not obligated to stick together and go their separate ways. However, most of them still partner off into smaller groups and as of current:
    • Blady reluctantly pairs up with SCP-4076 and treks through a bamboo forest.
    • Soda, Toasty and Watery trespassed into a furnished house which is later found out to be the home of № and ඞ.
    • Rockety and mp3y exploded the ground to unveil the dungeons beneath. They later encounter and free Magi who was imprisoned for unknown reasons.
    • Cherry Blossom decides to go solo, wandering towards an abandoned factory with nothing but a non-sentient duck for company.

    Blady 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_335.png
Inventory Bar 
Pronouns: Any (Xe/Xem/Xir pronouns are used)
Status: Forrest (With SCP-4076)
A golden sword
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Can wield up to five weapons at a time but only can hold on to a single item due to the layout of xir slots. Xe make the best of the latter ability using the former ability through Loophole Abuse.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Before even coming to the show, Blady had prepared a cleaver, boombox, pillow and compass just in case the competition is a lot longer and more dangerous than expected.
  • Loophole Abuse: Since xe only has one measly item slot, Blady makes do with xir five weapon slots for inventory space by twisting the definition of "weapon" very loosely.
    Blady's narration: Recently, you've taken note of the open-ended meaning of "weapon"...so, you know pillow fights? And did you know that sounds up to 185 decibels could kill someone [like say a boombox]? You feel like you've cheesed the system and you feel quite proud of that.
  • Oh, My Gods!: Says "Oh... My... Fungus." when SCP-4076 was swallowed whole by the Snatcher.

    Cherry Blossom 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_341_4.png
Inventory Bar 
Equipment Slot 
Pronouns: ? (They/Them pronouns are used)
Status: Outskirts of Factory (Alone)
A cherry blossom tree
  • Actual Pacifist: They can't bring themselves to follow through the prompts requiring violence and don't have a mean bone in their body such that they couldn't bear to hit an inanimate truck with a shovel.
  • Ambiguous Gender: Because of a prompt, Cherry Blossom asked for everybody's pronouns but didn't disclose their own since the prompt wasn't directed at them. Additionally, due to being an object lacking any Tertiary Sexual Characteristics, there's no definite way of telling Cherry Blossom's gender and thus gender-neutral writing is in place.
  • Bilingual Bonus: Their hotbar's stats are in Japanese which roughly reads "Health", "Inventory" and "Flower".
  • Companion Cube: The duck they decided to keep doesn't seem sentient and possibly made of stone (Given its grey colour and lack of features). It currently resides on top of their head.
  • Shovel Strike: Found and equipped a shovel from an abandoned toolshed though she has yet to use it for combat or other offensive purposes.

    mp3y 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_324.png
Inventory Bar 
Equipment Slot 
Pronouns: They/Them
Status: Dungeon (With Rockety and Magi)
An MP3 music player
  • all lowercase letters: Their name is spelled as such due to being based on an Apple product of the same name.
  • Broken Faceplate: Gets a huge crack on their screening from falling. Luckily, they managed to recover from the crack from dropped HP potions.
  • Face Plant: Lands head first after a long drop on the cold dungeon floor, cracking their screen in the process.
  • Pipe Pain: Rips a drainage pipe from the dungeon walls and equips it to do serious damage to enemies.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Rockety's Red Oni.
  • Victory Dance: Does a jump-shuffle with appropriate victory music.

    Rockety 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_350.png
Inventory Bar 
Equipment Slot 
Map Menu 
Pronouns: She/Her
Status: Dungeon (With Magi and mp3y)
A rocket ship
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Rockety breaks Magi out of their jail cell by repeatedly and rapidly inserting her jackhammer in and out of the keyhole, all while yelling "FUUUUUCK YEAAAAAH!!!". The expression on mp3y's face sells it all.
  • Improbable Weapon User: She's got a jackhammer and ain't afraid to drill holes in the enemy's face.
  • Indestructible Edible: Rockety has an inventory full of canned rations that have their own little parachute when dropped from a substantial height. The rations, while decent tasting, restore a good chunk of health.
  • The Navigator: Accidentally becomes one after standing too close and absorbing the ★ Dungeon Map ★ into her body. This gave Rockety the innate ability to access the entire dungeon layout through the Map Menu.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to mp3y's Blue Oni.
  • Victory Dance: Rapidly bounces up and down as hers alongside mp3y's own Victory Dance.

    SCP- 4076 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_334_1.png
Inventory Bar 
Equipment Slot 
Pronouns: She/Her
Status: Forrest (With Blady)
A VHS tape from the SCP Foundation

    Soda 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_351_5.png
Inventory Bar 
Pronouns: She/They
Status: House (With Toasty and Watery)
A blue-raspberry, glass soda bottle
  • Anthropomorphic Food: Or drink in this case being a soda bottle.
  • Armless Biped: A unique take on the trope as while she has arms, her unfortunate anatomy causes them to be inside of their body and renders it useless for normal functions.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Soda's inventory bar is the best one amongst all contestants as it offers twelve visible item slots with each slot able to store anything under the sun. The only catch is that it operates like a vending machine, requiring $1.50 to take the items out every single time. While Soda has sufficient funds ($55.65 at the start), she still has to be careful not to risk inventory lockout.
  • Hyperspace Arsenal: Second only to SCP-4076, she has an impressive twelve-item slot made even more impressive when each slot can hold an unlimited amount of items regardless of size or weight. Take the four-chair stack and massive refrigerator for example.
  • Eyes Always Shut: Their eyelids are seen shut at all times.
  • True Blue Femininity: Filled with blue-raspberry soda, has a sweet demeanor and identifies with she/they pronouns.

    Toasty 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_392_9.png
Inventory Bar 
Pronouns: He/They
Status: House (With Soda and Watery)
A toaster with the mannerisms of an excitable puppy.
  • Armless Biped: With not only two but four legs.
  • Smarter Than They Look: His thoughts are more articulate in contrast to how they "speaks" and like the others, he can also doubt the prompts and make better, sound decisions.
  • The Voiceless: He cannot communicate normally so they scream and bark in hopes of getting their message across.

    Watery 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_345.png
Pronouns: He/Him
Status: House (With Soda and Toasty)
A watering can
  • Big Eater: He only joined Soda and Toasty because he was hungry and they reminded him of food. He thankfully didn't go ahead and commit cannibalism but that didn't stop him from trying.

Others

    Magi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_386_4.png
Pronouns: ? (Undisclosed)
Status: Dungeon (With mp3y and Rockety)
A Magic 8-Ball who insists on answering only yes or no questions. He joins the company of mp3y and Rockety after they free him from his dungeon cell.
  • Magic 8-Ball: What species they are and in such fashion, they can only answer to yes or no questions regardless of the conversation.
