* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Much of David's motivation comes from the desire to protect those who can't protect themselves, like his mother or his friends, unfortunately, this has led to him becoming just as bad as the people he fights. As people in his lore note, even though deep down he isn't a bad person, David was too far down to be fixed.

As a Survivor, Dwight's unique perks, Bond, Leader, and Prove Thyself, allow him to locate other Survivors and provide buffs to himself and others to complete tasks quickly.

As a Survivor, Meg's unique perks Quick & Quiet, Sprint Burst and Adrenaline help her keep distance between herself and the Killer while giving her advantages during the chase.

As a Survivor, Claudette's unique perks Empathy, Botany Knowledge and Self Care allow her to find injured allies and heal both them and herself more effectively.

* HealingHerb: Her Botany Knowledge perk involves creating a tincture from the plants found in the woods, allowing her to both heal others faster and use first aid kits more efficiently.
* HealThyself: Her Self Care perk allows her to heal herself without a healing item.

As a Survivor, Jake's unique perks Iron Will, Calm Spirit and Saboteur make him stealthier whilst also allowing him to disable the Killer's means of sacrificing him and his teammates.

As a Survivor, Nea's unique perks Balanced Landing, Urban Evasion and Streetwise give her more ways to evade the Killer whilst increasing the lifetime of her and her team's items.\\

As a Survivor, Laurie's unique perks Sole Survivor, Object of Obsession and Decisive Strike increase her chances of survival whilst increasing her chances of the Killer becoming obsessed with her.\\

As a Survivor, Ace's unique perks Open Handed, Up The Ante and Ace in the Hole increase both his teammates' and his own aura reading capabilities and luck while also increasing the odds of finding better loot in chests.\\

As a Survivor, Bill's unique perks Left Behind, Borrowed Time and Unbreakable give him the capability to survive incredibly dire situations and increase both his teammates' and his own chances of survival.\\

As a Survivor, Feng's unique perks Technician, Lithe and Alert allow her to work on Generators more effectively and gain advantages in the chase.\\

As a Survivor, David's unique perks We're Gonna Live Forever, Dead Hard and No Mither give him a more difficult but more rewarding playstyle, reducing how many hits he can take but allowing him to dodge attacks and give allies he gets up from the dying state a better chance.\\

As a Survivor, Quentin's unique perks Wake Up!, Pharmacy and Vigil allow him to help out his fellow Survivors with locating exit gates and decreasing their debuffs.\\

As a Survivor, Tapp's unique perks Tenacity, Detective's Hunch and Stake Out give him a more objective-based playstyle, rewarding him for completing objectives and successfully avoiding the Killer.\\

As a Survivor, Kate's unique perks Windows of Opportunity, Dance with Me and Boil Over allow her to plan out where to head in case of a chase and make her harder to both keep track of and keep a grip on.\\

As a Survivor, Adam's unique perks Diversion, Deliverance and Autodidact allow him to trick the Killer and reward him for helping out his teammates.\\

* UselessUsefulSkill: His unique perk Autodidact allows him to gain stacking bonuses to hitting Good skill checks while healing his fellow survivors, up to a 75% buff at maximum, meaning actually nailing one at max stacks can result in half a bar's worth of progress. However, while Autodidact is equipped, he cannot make Great skill checks, and Good ones suffer from a 25% progression penalty by default, meaning he heals for far less to start with, and has to gradually earn stacks by healing somebody else to ramp it up, making it incredibly fiddly to utilize in actual gameplay. To make things worse, Autodidact does not apply to Med-kit heals, meaning he has to be mending somebody slowly by hand for it to trigger.

As a Survivor, Jeff's unique perks Breakdown, Aftercare and Distortion increase his aura reading capabilities and give more ways to remain hidden.\\

* AmbiguousDisorder: Her lore hints that she may be on the autistic spectrum.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: All those descriptions of him being a RidiculouslyAverageGuy? Well, they don't apply in-game. Dwight is ironically one of the strongest survivors with all three of his perks being perfectly viable.

* TheSneakyGuy: Well, [[CaptainObvious girl]]. Meg's perk, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Quick And Quiet]], allows her to perform fast actions without a sound, allowing her to evade detection by the Killer.

* DoNotTauntCthulhu: She was dragged off by the entity for tagging the Crotus Penn Asylum, where the Nurse killer was created. The rest goes downhill from there.

* [[TheSneakyGuy The Sneaky Gal]]: Even more so than other survivors in a stealth-focused game. Her Urban Evasion perk makes the stealth easier by increasing her speed while crouching.

%%* TheGambler

* SilverFox: A charming older man who can easily pass off as an ageing movie star.

* TheStoic: A common joke among the playerbase is that Ace has an in-built Iron Will due to his quieter pained sounds when moving around, to the point that even his screams will not be as audible as those of his fellow survivors.

* MercyInvincibility: His "Borrowed Time" perk allows whoever he unhooks to stay upright and active even after taking fatal damage, giving them time to escape.

%%* TheVietnamVet

* MyGreatestFailure: Terrified of disappointing both her parents and her fans, which led to her losing sleep and led to her eventual abduction by the entity.

As a Survivor, Quentin's unique perks Wake Up, Pharmacy and Vigil allow him to help out his fellow Survivors with locating exit gates and decreasing their debuffs.\\

* ActionSurvivor: In the same vein as Laurie Strode, but with a different feel. Like Laurie's Decisive Strike, Kate's perk Boil Over allows her to escape the killers grasp more effectively, but it only makes her more efficient at the escape. Boil Over is a passive, rather than an active skill check, but it also hides nearby hooks from killers. The rest of her kit focuses on avoiding the killer through speed and agility rather than through stealth. Windows of Opportunity allows her to see windows and pallets within a certain distance, allowing her to plan her escapes and chases more effectively, and Dance with Me removes her scratch marks for 3 seconds after vaulting a window.

* BackToSchool: He initially left home and bounced between jobs. After getting injured in a fight, he reevaluated his life choices and decided to go back to college. Where he settled with oil painting and digital art.

* OlderThanHeLooks: Despite being in his mid-to-late fifties in the film, he doesn’t look much older than thirty in-game.

!!Jane Romero - A influential celebrity
-->'''Voiced by:''' Patricia Brochu-Gagné
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/storebackground_ms.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: ''"Ok, stay calm. Don't overthink it and just keep moving forward: you got this."'']]

Jane never really knew her mother, a famous actress named Loretta Lawrence, as her parents divorced while she was a baby due to Loretta always being away from home to film. She resented her mother for being away all the time and leaving them alone but at the same time admired her performance on the screen. She wanted to be like her mother, so she performed in plays and auditioned for commercials. Eventually, a radio station took notice when she won first place at a national oratory contest and asked for an interview. Her natural charm and repartee impressed them, earning a part-time job at the station.\\
\\
After graduating college, Jane quit her job to work for a trendy variety show. But her delivery and ad-libbing weren't impressive, and she was fired just five months later. Desperate, she pitched a show at her old radio station, but it was turned down due to being "too risky." Months later, she got a call from a producer who had seen re-runs of the show. He was looking for a new co-host to potentially revive a failing show named Quick Talk. The show had a very crude and inflammatory tone, but she disputed this and instead focused on discussing personal problems. Within weeks, the show's viewership was growing again.\\
\\
Two years later, she launched her own full-hour segment: The Jane Romero Show, a nationally broadcast show that covered "taboo" topics, such as her own abandonment issues. The show broke records and soon Jane's name could be seen on all sorts of products such as beauty cream. She eventually published a memoir, covering her childhood without her mother. It was a best-seller, but was reviewed harshly by critics.\\
\\
Jane decided to do a two-hour long special episode on the topic of divorce. The topic was already stressful to her enough, but that stress grew drastically when her mother Loretta agreed to make a guest appearance for the special. Jane tried to keep the interview civil and calm, but eventually Loretta interrupted her, claiming that she and Jane were not related at all. The interview went to hell soon after. Afterwards, Jane went to drive to New Jersey to talk to her father. After popping a few painkillers to help the throbbing pain in her temples that had been bugging her all day, her vision began to blur. Soon, Jane couldn't stop her eyes from closing.\\
\\
The morning after, the police found her car deep in water. Her body wasn't found, despite weeks-long searches. Both her parents attended her funeral. All of the episodes of The Jane Romero Show were re-released a month later, all starting with an opening tribute for her, wishing her peace.\\
\\
As a Survivor, Jane's unique perks Solidarity, Poised and Head On allow her to help both teammates and her equally, remain stealthy and get the jump on the Killer.\\
\\
'''''Jane Romero is the twelfth new survivor added to the game with the release of the Demise of the Faithful Chapter on March 19th, 2019.'''''
----
* BerserkButton: The mere sight of her mother, who all but abandoned her since childhood. It gets even worse when she says they're not actually related during a live show.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Jane often sticks out from the other female survivors due to her curves, but it doesn't earn her any less adoration from the fans and cosmetics that compliment her figure. This usually ends up playing against her favor, however, as her larger character model makes it easier for Killers to spot her even when she's hiding.
* CelebritySurvivor: Before the Entity abducted Jane, she had her own nationally syndicated talk show as well as multiple product endorsements.
* HartmanHips: What do you mean you didn't notice?
* InTheBlood: Jane inherited much of her mother's charisma and talent, and she knows this.
* LovedByAll: Jane was a nationally adored talk show host and celebrity prior to her disappearance.
* TheMedic: Her "Solidarity" perk allows her to recover health when healing other survivors.
* ParentalNeglect: Jane grew up mostly in the care of her father, while [[WhenYouComingHomeDad her mother is usually away]] due to being MarriedToTheJob.
* StepfordSmiler: Her cutscene from the second Tome of the Archives shows her crying to herself before being called on the phone for her show. When she gets there, she takes a moment to prepare herself then walks on-stage with a smile on her face.
* ShoutOut: Her surname is a reference to Creator/GeorgeARomero.
* StoutStrength: Jane is full-figured and can body-slam killers once every 40 seconds with her "Head On" perk.
* TokenMinority: In-universe she struggled to be taken seriously as an actress and actively refused to do any kind of stereotypical Latina accent for her parts.

[[folder:Ashley "Ash" J. Williams]]
!![[Franchise/EvilDead Ashley "Ash" Joanna Williams]] - An alone wolf
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BruceCampbell
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/storebackground_ml.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: ''[[Film/ArmyOfDarkness "Hail to the king, baby."]]'']]

%%"An alone wolf" is a deliberate misspelling as the phrase is a quote/reference from Ash vs Evil Dead.

Ash Williams was just an average guy working at S-Mart when [[Film/TheEvilDead1981 he and a group of friends went out for a weekend at a cabin in the woods]]. While they only meant to party around and get high, they ended up discovering a creepy old book and reading from it. Unfortunately, that book happened to be the ''Necronomicon ex Mortis''... the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Book of the Dead]]. The book unleashed a torrent of evil spirits known as Deadites that possessed most of the group, eventually leaving Ash the sole survivor. As he tried to escape the cabin, though, the evil force [[Film/EvilDead2 dragged him back in to play some more]].\\
\\
Meeting with a few new allies that sought to get rid of the Deadites, Ash's hand ended up possessed, so he had to chop it off to prevent it from spreading. Having had enough, Ash went to work customizing a chainsaw and shotgun into his new signature weapons and defeated the demon in the cabin's cellar. However, the attempt to use the Book to exorcise the others went wrong and opened a portal in time, sending Ash to the Middle Ages. [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness After escaping enslavement and impressing the primitive screwheads with his prowess]], Ash led the charge against the invading Army of Darkness (which he had accidentally summoned via bungling the incantation to get rid of them) and returned to his own time.\\
\\
[[Series/AshVsEvilDead Years later, after hoping to bury the traumas of his past]], Ash accidentally summoned the Evil Dead back to this world when he read the Book completely stoned to impress a lady. Teaming up with his Value Stop co-workers Pablo and Kelly, Ash came out of retirement to save the world from evil once again.\\
\\
''[[{{Catchphrase}} Groovy.]]''\\
\\
As a Survivor, Ash's unique perks Flip-Flop, Buckle Up and Mettle of Man allow him to both help him and his teammates out of desperate situations while also making himself tougher.\\
\\
'''''Ashley J. Williams is the thirteenth new survivor added to the game with the release of the Ash vs Evil Dead paragraph on April 2nd, 2019.'''''

'''''Ash is the fifth GuestFighter survivor to be added in the game, coming from [[Franchise/EvilDead Evil Dead]].'''''
----
* AdaptationalWimp: One of the biggest cases so far, alongside Bill and the ''Resident Evil'' crew, as he has neither his chainsaw or his boomstick at his disposal. This is ignoring the fact that even in his advanced age in ''Ash vs. Evil Dead'', he was still fully capable of trouncing Baal, an ''elder demon'', so badly that he had to resort to cheating by unleashing his true powers, and this was done with only his GoodOldFisticuffs instead of relying on his chainsaw or trusty Boomstick. If anything, he of all people ''should'' be more than capable of handing the Killers' asses to them with his robot hand, had he only been allowed to fight back.
* AgeLift: His in-game model is significantly younger-looking than how he did in ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'', with most of his gray hair being gone and him being more physically fit than his live-action incarnation, however, he's clearly older and heavier than he was in Film/ArmyOfDarkness.
* TheAlcoholic: Based on the lore, he still seems to be a heavy drinker who enjoys going to bars a lot.
* ArtificialLimbs:
** Has a robotic hand to replace the one he lost back in ''Evil Dead 2''. It is the one used in the Ash vs. the Evil Dead series instead, rather than the one he had back in ''Army of Darkness''. One purchasable outfit replaces this with [[HandPuppet Ashy Slashy]], who seems to be inert this time.
** Another purchasable outfit replaces his hand with the android prosthetic he received in the SeriesFinale of ''Ash vs. Evil Dead''.
** The mobile version has multiple hand choices. In addition to the ones listed above are Pablo's Handiwork and Pablo's custom job, which are variations of the power glove from the series, as well as a "carved wooden hand" which looks somewhat normal and actually comes with a cuff.
* AuraVision: Buckle Up allows Ash to see the recovery progress of a dying survivor, and if he manages to heal them back to the injured state, both of them can see the Killer's aura for a few seconds.
* BlueIsHeroic: His default look includes a bright blue shirt, and he is TheHero of his franchise. His other available outfits include the Hawaiian shirt from season two, his normal attire with a red Value Stop vest, a blue Christmas sweater with a chainsaw design, and his final outfit in the series finale, so every available outfit Ash has is a blue shirt of some type.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: By this point, Ash has gotten use to supernatural horror that he only reacts with mild annoyance getting trapped in the Entity realm. Subverted in gameplay where he seems just as horrified as the rest of the Survivors.
* ButtMonkey: The way he gets to the Entity realm is actually played for BlackComedy unlike the other Survivors who were taken there in pretty horrific ways.
* CoolOldGuy: He's spent decades fighting off demonic forces and despite his age, is more than capable of surviving the Entity's killers.
* ContinuitySnarl: Ash's in-game lore text establishes that his being taken by the Entity happens after the conclusion of the third season of ''Ash vs. Evil Dead'', and yet he still retains the Power Glove that Pablo built for him instead of the bionic hand that the Knights of Sumeria had constructed in its place, alongside his signature outfit rather than the futuristic jumpsuit that the order gave him when he woke up in the future. While said hand is available as a purchasable cosmetic, it raises the question of why it's not a default part of him to begin with instead of the other way around. That being said, given that the same lore article also described how Ash suddenly finding himself clothed when transported into the realm, it's probable that his current attire was replicated by the Entity on a whim, Power Glove included.
** A recent update to Ash's cosmetics include the outfit that Ash was seen wearing in the last scene of the series, and also includes the updated robotic hand that he's using when he comes out of stasis.
* DeadpanSnarker: His dialogue and his reaction to getting trapped in the Entity's realm.
* DifficultButAwesome: Downplayed, but two of his three perks require him to be hurt first before they could activate. Mettle of Man is a good example of this, requiring him to take at least 3 hits to protect other Survivors before he can use it, while also greatly increasing his chances of becoming the killer's Obsession and [[DrawAggro revealing his location to them]] if he's healed up while at a certain distance away, but for the entire duration of its effects, he will be able to NoSell an attack that should have put him into bleedout. Healing afterwards will reveal his position to the killer, however.
* DirtyOldMan: As indicated in his background, Ash is still as flirtatious as he was when he was younger.
* DrawAggro: His Mettle of Man perk enforces this on a technical level by giving the player a 100% increased likelihood of being selected as the Killer's obsession.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: By the time he was trapped in the Entity's twisted game, Ash had tons of experience dealing with the demonic forces.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: His expertise as a GadgeteerGenius in his home series is not carried over to the Entity's trials, where he can be outdone in repairing generators by younger, less-experienced survivors. His [[MacGyvering uncanny ability to create weapons out of basic scrap]] seems to have been lost too. Do keep in mind that this is the same guy who [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness managed to refit a beaten-up Oldsmobile into a Deadite-mulching vehicle of doom while trapped in medieval England with nothing but sheer mechanical know-how.]]
* GuestFighter: From ''Franchise/EvilDead'', more specifically ''Series/AshVsEvilDead''.
* GatheringSteam: Mettle of Man gains charges by [[TakingTheBullet taking Protection hits]] in place of your teammates. The real problem is racking up three of those without downing yourself to activate it in the first place, and Protection hits can be deceptively difficult to accrue depending on how skilled you, the Killer, and your teammates are.
* HandicappedBadass: He was forced to cut his own right hand off after it was possessed by demonic spirits, and depending on the player's cosmetics, has a robotic hand, a wooden hand, or a ''hand puppet'' in place of it. It didn't stop him from fighting off the Deadites and it doesn't stop him from going up against the supernaturally powered killers of the Entity's realm.
* HereWeGoAgain: His reaction to arriving in the realm of the Entity.
* HeroicResolve: In his home series Ash is a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass who has a way of [[LetsGetDangerous getting dangerous]] after being beaten up by whatever supernatural beastie he's fighting, allowing him to turn the tides and ultimately defeat them. While he can't physically raise his hand against Killers in this game, this is still reflected in the effect of his Mettle of Man perk, where sheer determination alone is enough to allow him to NoSell a basic attack that would normally send him into the Dying state. Provided he can avoid being downed again after triggering it and keep getting away with taking Protection Hits, a skilled Ash can get extremely good mileage out of Mettle of Man and be a real nuisance to Killers who don't have a means of circumventing it.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: He's guilty of this like Laurie before him. In a game where stealth is imperative to survival, he starts out wearing a bright blue shirt. His other outfits are no better, either, one of which turns him into a walking HawaiianShirtedTourist, and the other giving him a bright red vest from his job as a department store stock boy. And as the cherry on top, his pained groans are among the loudest in the game, making Ash incredibly easy to spot when wounded. The mobile version allows you to mix and match a bit, so you can dress Ash in the darker Hawaiian shirt and the darker pants, which allows for at least some additional stealth in darker maps. Ash is also a character that is beneficial to max level quickly, to unlock the "Bloody Ash" face and outfit, which darkens the bright blue shirt considerably, and makes him harder to spot in darker maps.
* IconicOutfit: As per the films, Ash's main outfit was a blue button down and dark pants or khakis, and the game model dresses him in his series outfit, which he wore in every episode.
* InkSuitActor: Unlike most of the other crossover characters, Ash is modeled to resemble Creator/BruceCampbell as closely as possible, due to Behaviour managing to secure the rights to use both his likeness and voice.
* JokeCharacter: Due to the ability to mix and match outfits, you can wear Ash's main blue button down with the shotgun holster as a top, and have it tucked into the shorts and sandals with socks bottoms that go with the Hawaiian shirt. To say they look incongruous together is an understatement.
** Also, one of his cosmetics is the "Ashy Slashy" hand puppet which functions just the same as all of his other hands in a match, despite it having a mouth instead of fingers.
* JokeItem: Played with: One of Ash's hand cosmetics is, of course, the Ashy Slashy puppet, and when worn during a match, not only does it have no special functions in particular, but when healing or repairing generators, the puppet behaves the same as a real hand with fingers, which is quite the visual.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: On occasion, after waiting in a lobby for long enough, Ash might ask "Are we going to be here all day?".
* MythologyGag:
** Him ending up in the Entity's realm is a result of him [[ImperfectRitual bungling False!Linda's incantation]] meant to portal him back to his friends. He seems to ''[[Film/ArmyOfDarkness still]]'' be really bad with [[Main/KlaatuBaradaNikto memorizing magic words]].
** One cosmetic option for his artificial hand is [[Series/AshVsEvilDead Ashy Slashy]].
* {{Nerf}}: He was one of the most powerful survivors on release due to his Mettle of Man perk, which originally triggered after taking 3 basic hits (unhooking a survivor also counted towards this) and would make him effectively invincible against any basic attack for the 4th hit. When it was recognized that this heavily punished the weaker half of the Killer roster (who can only do basic attacks), while not really affecting stronger Killers like Hillbilly or Huntress who use special attacks, the perk was changed to its current state where it requires 3 ''protection hits'' to trigger, though it now applies to any attack.
* SirSwearsalot: Swears in both his lore and in some of his dialogue.
* SituationalSword:
** Flip-Flop is literally useless if he isn't downed, is downed but then ignored by the killer to bleed out, is downed and then picked up before he could start recovering, or is grabbed from a window/locker instead of picked up while injured, as it converts part of his Recovery meter to Wiggle progress to allow him to break free more easily while being moved to a hook.
** It is also of no use if a killer uses a Memento Mori or perk to bypass the hooks and kill him directly. This makes Flip-Flop especially worthless if playing against an experienced Shape who has the Tombstone Piece or Judith's Tombstone, since those allow the killer to off him instantly from full health at Evil Within III, bypassing the need to down, carry, and hook him entirely.
* SuddenlyVoiced: The first Survivor in the game to have fully spoken dialogue, as he briefly talks when selecting him in the main menu and lobby.
* TeleportationMisfire: Him [[ImperfectRitual bungling False!Linda's incantation]] accidentally sends him to the Entity's realm instead of back to the real world.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: His reaction when he finds himself in the Realm of the Entity, hearing screams in the distance.

Jumping off the bridge, he fought his way back to the generator, successfully restarting it. Before he could make it back, a devastating blow from a Tank sent him flying into a nearby generator room. Bill looked up, seeing the three Tanks charging at him, hearing his teammates scream his name from the bridge. He lit his cigarette one last time, and prepared to fight.\\

Though he ultimately managed to take down the Tanks with him, Bill could no longer cling to consciousness any longer, resting his eyes. But instead of the cold embrace of death, Bill woke up in a dirty shack, his back to a generator. The three remaining members of the team assumed that Bill was dead, but they didn't know he now had the one thing he's always wanted: an enemy to fight. Forever.\\

After two tours in Vietnam and a knee full of shrapnel, William "Bill" Overbeck was honorably discharged and forced back into living a peaceful life, which he hated. Decades of drifting through endless dead-end jobs later, Bill went to the hospital for a routine surgery, only for a nurse to go crazy and attack the doctors. Fighting through the anesthesia, Bill managed to kill the nurse. Grabbing a bonesaw, he left the hospital to head home, only to discover the world he knew was now gone. The streets were now filled with sickly pale people, under the influence of a virus that transformed them into murderous undead.\\

The former lead detective on the case of the Jigsaw Killer. Tapp had the killer cornered but he managed to escape, which resulted in Tapp getting his throat slashed, and his partner, Steven Sing, killed by one of the many traps the killer designed. The reckless, warrantless confrontation would see Tapp discharged from the police force, but this didn't stop him from continuing his obsessive hunt for Jigsaw. After an obsessive stakeout of Lawrence Gordon, he found himself in a confrontation with a new suspect, and their confrontation ended with Tapp taking a bullet to the chest.

Resigning himself to his fate, and with guilt over his inability to catch Jigsaw, he lay there bleeding out, until he was taken to the Entity's realm. Once again filled with purpose, Tapp set out, ready to confront the killers lurking in the realm.

As a Survivor, Tapp's teachable perks Tenacity, Detective's Hunch and Stake Out give him a more objective-based playstyle, rewarding him for completing objectives and successfully avoiding the Killer.\\

As a Survivor, Kate's teachable perks Windows of Opportunity, Dance with Me and Boil Over allow her to plan out where to head in case of a chase and make her harder to both keep track of and keep a grip on.\\

After his father died in a car accident when he was two, Adam Francis' strict yet fair uncle took him in, teaching him to value his education.\\

Later in life, Adam discovered the published works of his father, leading to him forming a passion of literature in spite of Kingston College's campus' focus on athletics. Bullies thought he was the perfect prey, but he made up for his lack of athletics in grit, defending himself against the odds.\\

As the years went by, Adam imagined a different life for himself, a life that was called for by granted admission to higher education and the demand for more teachers abroad. After graduating, he taught extra classes to afford application fees overseas and after a year, he secured a position and soon flew off to Southern Japan for a new start.\\

However, there were bumps. Once Adam arrived, he realized that his Japanese was elementary level at best, and that he needed to learn Japanese notions. It took a few months, but Adam soon found his rhythm and settled into Kagoshima just fine. He began to form connections and bonds to his students, and spent his weekends at numerous luxurious restaurants. He even began planning his first ever vacation as he took a train to work...\\

And then, the train began to tremble, before flipping upside down. He landed on a window as bags and passengers flew around him, then spotted a falling door plummeting straight towards another passenger. Thinking quickly, he rolled over, ensuring the door would hit him instead as he braced... and nothing happened. Opening his eyes, he saw a thick fog flooding the train, and soon he could not keep conscious.\\

In the aftermath of the crash, Adam's body wasn't found, but his bag was recovered from the wreckage. His students and fellow teachers assumed the worst, but his uncle held a high belief that Adam was still alive, that he had just taken off after the crash and is still out there.... somewhere...\\

Born and raised in Ormond, Alberta, Jeff Johansen was a quiet, only child growing up. His anxiousness was assumed to simply be shyness, which he covered up with a tough persona that scared bullies, as well as teachers. He soon discovered a love for heavy metal, which helped distract him from his parents' constant arguments and fights.\\

To further escape the situation at home, Jeff got a job at a video store. The shop did not have many customers, which gave him plenty of time to draw in his sketchbook. Soon, one of those customers noticed and asked him if he would be willing to draw a mural for him in exchange for some money. Jeff accepted, heading down to an abandoned lodge to paint a giant mural which said only two words: "The Legion". The man gave him 50 dollars and a pack of cigarettes for his work. Jeff had completed his first commission. A fact he took pride in.\\

However, the fighting between his parents escalated, leading to a divorce. Jeff was forced to go with his mother, moving away to Winkler, Manitoba. Miles away from his hometown and father. Jeff became more isolated than before, but his collection of metal music and his drawing helped him cope. After graduating high school, he started working at a local bar, performing live music performances. He left Winkler shortly after, finding a job as a roadie for a band.\\

Years later, Jeff got into a fight at a concert, resulting in him getting injured, leaving a scar around his eye. He was told to stay away from town so that his doctor could monitor him and prevent him from losing sight in his eye. During this time, Jeff thought about his choices in life. He soon went back to college, rolling into art school. He took multiple types of mediums before eventually settling on oil painting and digital art. Taking up a desk job, he designed labels for microbreweries, a job Jeff was happy with.\\

Jeff lived a fairly simple life from then on out, designing tattoos and freelance album covers for bands he liked, taking in a rescue dog and brewing beer. But one morning, he got a phone call; His father had passed away, and he left a few things for him back in Ormond.\\

He drove back to his father's home, where he found a guitar case sitting beside the wall. Inside, a black vintage model with a sticky note attached: "For my boy."\\

Jeff stayed in town for a bit longer after that, soon remembering that mural he painted all that time ago. Fueled by nostalgia, he headed up to that old, abandoned lodge. When he didn't come back, his friends came to the conclusion that the grief had gotten to him, and eventually moved on. His dog was eventually put back on the streets after his neighbor became fed up with taking care of it, becoming a stray yet again.\\

Jane never really knew her mother, a famous actress named Loretta Lawrence, as her parents divorced while she was a baby due to Loretta always being away from home to film. She resented her mother for being away all the time and leaving them alone but at the same time admired her performance on the screen.\\

She wanted to be like her mother, so she performed in plays and auditioned for commercials. Eventually, a radio station took notice when she won first place at a national oratory contest and asked for an interview. Her natural charm and repartee impressed them, earning a part-time job at the station.\\

After graduating college, Jane quit her job to work for a trendy variety show. But her delivery and ad-libbing weren't impressive, and she was fired just five months later. Desperate, she pitched a show at her old radio station, but it was turned down due to being "too risky." Months later, she got a call from a producer who had seen re-runs of the show. He was looking for a new co-host to potentially revive a failing show named Quick Talk.\\

The show had a very crude and inflammatory tone, but she disputed this and instead focused on discussing personal problems. Within weeks, the show's viewership was growing again. Two years later, she launched her own full-hour segment: The Jane Romero Show, a nationally broadcast show that covered "taboo" topics, such as her own abandonment issues. The show broke records and soon Jane's name could be seen on all sorts of products such as beauty cream. She eventually published a memoir, covering her childhood without her mother. It was a best-seller, but was reviewed harshly by critics.\\
