18
19	Eve and Gavin's son.
20	----
21	* AntagonisticOffspring: He has no good feelings remaining for his father, and when Eve wants to have faith in Gavin, he's quick to tell her off for it.

[[spoiler:He starts to let up on this after Eve helps save Marybeth and Lucas.]]

He has no hesitation in wanting to vote that Eve and Marybeth leave the group, [[WhatTheHellHero something that Veronica is quick to call him out on]].

36	* DespairEventHorizon: Pretty much crossed this ''before'' the sinkhole when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
37	* NiceGuy: He's kindhearted and selfless to a fault, and thinks of the well-being of others before his own.
38	* SecretlyDying: He doesn't talk about it, but he's slowly dying because of his brain tumor. He even admits such to Para when she sees his nose bleeding.

60	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's one of two ex-military characters, having been in the elite Navy [=SEALs=].

71	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In the second episode, after saving eight camels form getting stuck in a tar pit, he starts telling Veronica that he used to work at the La Brea Tar Pits and how animals like the camels would get stuck in them all the time... before he quickly looks back at the tar pits, recalls how eight camels (the same amount he saved) were found last year, and makes the connection.
72	* GenreSavvy: Immediately after the sinkhole, Scott starts theorizing about what tropes applying to the LostWorld he's found himself in. He also realizes that burying a body in a stone circle in the shape of a hand is probably a bad idea.

74	* PluckyComicRelief: He provides levity with his sarcastic quips and laid-back personality.

83
84	An apparently mute girl, Veronica's younger sister.
85	----
86	* AbusiveParents: It's implied that Lilly's father was very controlling of her and her sister. To what extent hasn't been revealed.

88	* ObfuscatingDisability: She and Veronica pretend she's mute, not having spoken for years. In reality she's capable of speech just fine.
89	* TheReveal:
90	** [[spoiler:She was kidnapped by Veronica and Aaron Castillo (if that's even their real last name) from her real family sometime before the events of the show.]]

97	-> '''Played By:''' Lily Santiago
98
99	Lily's older sister.
100	----
101	* AxCrazy: Her religious father was clearly abusive and it didn’t do her mental state any favors as she resorts to violence to preserve his ideals as well as control over Lilly. Her response to Ty trying to convince her to return was to bash him over the head.
102	* BigSisterBully: Downplayed but she's very controlling of Lilly. [[spoiler:{{Subverted\|Trope}} with the reveal she isn't even Lilly's sister, but one of her ''kidnappers'', and was so controlling due to not wanting anyone to find out.]]
103	* ImproperlyParanoid: She doesn't trust any of the other survivors, even though doing so would drastically increase both her chances and her sister's chances of surviving.
104	* TheReveal: [[spoiler:She's not really Lilly's sister. She and Aaron kidnapped Lilly from her real family sometime before the events of the show.]]
105	* TokenReligiousTeammate: She believes in God, insisting on finding her father's body (who was killed by a dire wolf in the first episode) and giving him a proper burial since she says it's what God commands. Nobody else so far expresses religious beliefs.

114	----
115	* GoThroughMe: When facing one of Silas' men, she immediately puts herself in between him and Lucas to protect him. [[spoiler:She's stabbed in the abdomen in the process, and while Sam tries to patch her up, she dies soon after in Lucas' arms.]]
116	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When introduced, she immediately starts hoarding food for herself, and starts childishly taunting Josh when he calls her on it, and is implied to be a DirtyCop. As the group is forced to work together though, it's made clear she's largely just jaded, and wants to protect her son Lucas. She and Eve eventually become FireForgedFriends over their shared interest in protecting their sons.
117	* SacrificialLion: Marybeth was one of the more competent members of the group once she became FireForgedFriends with Eve, and had no hesitation in doing whatever it took to protect her son, despite his animosity towards her. [[spoiler:She ends up being the first major member of the group to die, not only establishing AnyoneCanDie while they're trapped in the past, but robbing Lucas of the chance of repairing their relationship after the two had finally began to reconnect.]]
118	* SympatheticMurderer: She's killed two people for different, sympathetic reasons. The first was her ex-husband, who was abusing her and Lucas [[spoiler:and who was planning to sell out Lucas to the police in order to get leniency]]. The second was [[spoiler:Diana, as she and Eve tried to stop Diana and Levi from using the plane knowing it would crash, only for Diana to pull a gun in desperation to go home and Marybeth to shoot her after she fired first. The first was legally murder, but the second is self-defense, though many characters treat it like she murdered Diana nonetheless.]]
119	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She tells this to Lucas, wanting him to make a new life for himself rather than go back to dealing heroin. [[spoiler:She says it though as she's dying in his arms after being stabbed protecting him.]]

128	----
129	* AntagonisticOffspring: He doesn't care for his mother and calls her a heartless murderer for killing his father, and has no issue with leading the movement to throw Eve and Marybeth out of the group. [[spoiler:He starts to lighten up after she throws herself into danger to save him and has a heart to heart with her.]]
130	* BrokenPedestal: Has this when Marybeth breaks it to him that [[spoiler: his dad was going to cut a deal laying their drug operation completely at Lucas' feet, not caring if his son went to jail as long as he went free]].
131	* {{Jerkass}}: He is extremely short tempered and ill mannered, not to mention a drug dealer. He threatens to kill Scott for burying his heroin stash, and has no hesitation in trying to drive his mother out of the group [[spoiler:after she accidentally killed Diana.]]
132	* SkewedPriorities: He's more concerned with his heroin stash and yelling at his mother than he is with survival.
133	* TookALevelInKindness: Following Marybeth [[spoiler:throwing herself into danger to protect him from a collapsing shelter]], he starts to lighten up and becomes more cooperative with the rest of the survivors, including slowly reconnecting with Marybeth.

149
150	A near-sighted man who lost his glasses after falling into the sinkhole.
151	----
152	* TheEeyore: He's a major downer to the rest of the group, as he literally can't see any silver linings in the current situation without his glasses.

157	-> '''Played By:''' Pacharo Mzembe

168
169	Eve's husband and a former USAF pilot plagued by mysterious visions.
170	----
171	* {{Seers}}: At first he was convinced that his visions were just hallucinations caused by an injury. It turns out they were real however, showing him visions of the past.

179	Eve and Gavin's daughter, who lost her leg in a car accident.
180	----
181	* ArtificialLimbs: She uses a prosthetic leg to replace hers, which was amputated due to her injury.
182	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: "Indecisive" more than "bratty", but still. She's not ''too'' bad, but for many episodes her use by the writers seems to be to alternate between saying "But what about Mom and Josh?" when Gavin wants to give up and "So what are we gonna do now?" when a plan falls through, and "Don't do it, I don't want to lose you too!" when Gavin attempts another plan.
183	* TwoferTokenMinority: Izzy's a female amputee with a prosthetic leg.

199	----
200	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's secretive, but she genuinely cares about helping people and just wants to figure out what's going on.
201	* TwoferTokenMinority: Sophia is AmbiguouslyBrown (played by an Australian of Indian ancestry), and she's cut off from her female partner Diana.
