Pamela Voorhees
"Don't stop, Jason! They deserve to die. Make them suffer like we did!"
- Voiced by: Jennifer Ann Burton
- Ax-Crazy: She's the one chanting in Jason's ear to murder those poor counselors.
- Berserk Button: Not putting Jason as your top priority counts as pressing this. And do not mention Jason's deformities.
- Black Widow: She confesses Elias Voorhees was her first victim, all in retribution for him beating Jason. The police don't take her confession to the crime very seriously mainly due to her Sanity Slippage over her son's presumed death.
- Churchgoing Villain: She thought that Jason would be best looked after by Christian camp counselors while she worked as a cook. Little did she know, none of them practiced what they preached. While she slaved away in the kitchen, they were having sex, and her neglected son was drowning.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Utterly despises Jason's biological father for what he did to her, leaving her broken and bleeding.
- Evil Laugh: Does this in all match outros (except for Roy Burns).
- Generation Xerox: The tapes reveal Pamela Voorhees and Dr. Jarvis had a long, hostile discussion over Jason's death. Little did they know their children would become archenemies decades later.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Like her role in the films, she is the reason that Jason kills people.
- Irony: Though she was still somewhat hostile in the tapes, the only person Pamela seemed to trust or attempt to be civil to after her son's alleged drowning was none other than Dr. Jarvis, the father of her son's future arch-enemy.
- Mama Bear: Dear God.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's ambiguous if her spirit is actually talking to Jason or if he's just hearing her in his head. There's evidence for both.
- Mission Control: For Jason. Maybe.
- My Beloved Smother: For Jason always, but for the player she can easily become Unwanted Assistance when getting whaled on by counselors with weapons as she scolds them to do better.
- My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Greatly feared ever seeing again the man with the hate-filled eyes who raped her as a teenager. Pamela always felt that he was watching her from afar. She married Elias for protection, though this backfired as he abused both Jason and her.
- Not So Stoic: When the counselors arrive at her shrine and exploit Jason's one weakness.
- Posthumous Character: Is dead, her decapitated head in Jason's shack.
- Pre-emptive Declaration: "This camp now has a death curse! Don't you ever forget that." Guess what Pamela and Jason do to Camp Crystal Lake in the coming years.
- Sanity Slippage: Pretty much what the Pamela Tapes are supposed to show.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: When the cops piss her off, Pamela drops a Precision F-Strike on them in the tapes.
- Surrounded by Idiots: Having to repeatedly tell the police how to do their job and that Elias isn't Jason's biological father really pisses her off.
- Tragic Villain: Oh God, this poor woman. Her entire life is one unforgiving Trauma Conga Line.
- Trauma Conga Line: Her entire life. First, she's viciously raped by an anonymous man as a teenager. Then she gives birth to a mute hydrocephalic. Then she marries a strong man for protection, who instead beats her and Jason relentlessly. Then her son is bullied to death thanks to the negligence of the counselors.
- Unstoppable Rage: Pretty accurate way to describe her interactions with the police in the tapes.
- The Voice: Only appears as a voice in Jason's head and as her decapitated head in Jason's lair.
She could have been playable but the stretch goal wasn't reached.
Thomas "Tommy" Jarvis
- Voiced by: Thom Matthews, Chris Niosi (DLC Diaries)
For Tommy's film incarnation, see his folder on Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
Once a counselor has used the CB Radio to call Tommy and at least two counselors have either died or escaped, one of them will respawn as Tommy.
Stats:
- Composure: 10/10
- Luck: 10/10
- Repair: 10/10
- Speed: 10/10
- Stamina: 10/10
- Stealth: 10/10
- Strength: 10/10
Starts off with:
- A one-shot shotgun.
- A pocket knife.
- A first aid spray.
- A walkie-talkie.
- A map.
- The Ace: Highest stats of everyone who isn't Jason and starts with a hunting shotgun. He's also the only character who can kill Jason after a series of steps are taken.
- Auto-Revive: He essentially acts like this; a player can control him if they called him on the radio before dying.
- Back for the Dead: Tommy can be killed by Jason, but like many things, it's dependent on how well the players do.
- Badass Normal: He's a normal human who, with the right conditions, can KILL JASON.
- Big Damn Heroes: His primary role arriving on the scene to put an end to Jason's rampage and save the remaining counselors. This can be very easily subverted.
- The Bus Came Back: Tommy Jarvis of The Final Chapter, A New Beginning, and Jason Lives, is a playable character. He's unique in that he acts as an 'extra life' when called in, as an already dead player becomes him.
- Came Back Strong / Came Back Wrong: If at least two counselors are dead (or escaped), and someone has radioed Tommy for help, one of the spectating players are randomly selected to come back as the hero. There is an obvious Logical Weakness to this, though. The player who died straight away (or contributed nothing to the escape effort) can be very unlucky or unskilled, and will fare no better second time round even as the Master of All. An experienced Jason player will also be very suspicious of any skilled counselor that wants to get murdered, as it's likely that they've equipped situational Perks that compliment Tommy only. It's not uncommon for such a Jason player to just leave that counselor injured for the time being, then focus their attention on killing the others.
- The Cavalry: Should the player as Tommy escape with any counselors in range, they'll get "Escort" bonus XP.
- The Cavalry Arrives Late: If the counselors radio Tommy Jarvis for help too late, or through careful planning (and a LOT of luck) they all escape alive, Tommy will arrive on scene to confront Jason, with little or no assistance.
- Cavalry Refusal: There's nothing to stop a chosen player, who either died or escaped, immediately quitting as Tommy. Needless to say, this cowardice will completely screw over the other survivors who maybe struggling/planning to kill Jason, as the game will not choose another spectator in the lobby. Even worse, in the hands of the wrong sort of player, Tommy can become something more threatening if they weaponize the car against the survivors.
- Crazy-Prepared: Tommy arrives carrying a rifle, a pocket knife, a med spray, a walkie-talkie and a map.
- Downer Ending: The Jarvis Tapes reveal that after the events of Part VI, authorities and his psychiatrists have fully given up on trying to help him, seeking to either drug or restrain him to a padded room. He flees and tries to find others who could help clear his name, but is eventually captured and institutionalized in Springwood. Worse, it's heavily implied that he's now being attacked by a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of Freddy Krueger in his sleep, worsening his mental state even more and possibly inspiring the events of Freddy vs. Jason.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: If one of the counselors succeeds in calling in help over a CB radio, Tommy Jarvis will arrive, controlled by one of the players who either escaped or died beforehand.
- Experienced Protagonist: He's the closest the franchise has to a recurring protagonist.
- Failure Hero: Just because he's the Master of All does not mean he's invincible. A seasoned Jason player will know when he's on-scene by checking the scoreboard frequently, and knows Tommy's Crazy-Prepared so as best to resort to melee attacks to stunlock and prevent him from healing up. The hero must group up with the survivors quickly, or be picked off alone like anyone else.
- Generation Xerox: The tapes reveal Pamela Voorhees and Dr. Jarvis had a long, hostile discussion over Jason's death. Little did they know their children would become arch-enemies decades later.
- Good Counterpart: Once again, he is one to Jason. Tommy is a Badass Normal; Jason has superpowers due to his undead state. Tommy will only kill evil people; Jason will kill almost anybody. Tommy is a Tragic Hero; Jason is a Tragic Villain.
- Heroic Sacrifice: If Tommy is killed within range of another counselor, the Tommy player will get "Sacrifice" bonus XP. Slips into Senseless Sacrifice if that counselor dies straight afterward.
- Master of All: Tommy's stats are maxed out; he has almost no weaknesses. As a bonus, he also gets any Perks the player had equipped for their counselor. Though some Perks like Light Foot will be redundant due to his stats, and Preparedness (he already starts off with a map).
- Not So Stoic: He begs and pleads for his life as much as the counselors when wracked with fear.
- Only I Can Kill Him: Tommy is the only character capable of landing the killing blow on Jason, though he can't do so alone as he needs at least one female counselor to stun him with Pamela's sweater first.
- Sanity Slippage: The tapes reveal that by the end of Jason Lives, Tommy has become completely paranoid, believing "they" are conspiring against him to keep Jason under wraps (to a degree, he's right; a police officer expresses a belief that, like Roy Burns, Jason himself is merely a copycat, and Tommy's continuing ranting attracts more of them). The last tape reveals that by the modern day, he's almost completely divorced from reality.
- Unluckily Lucky: His Luck Stat along with the rest is maxed out, but his Tragic Hero backstory and the circumstances that brought him here make him this. His melee weapons aren't so prone to failure when fighting Jason (but it can still happen so you'll need to careful) though by the time he appears on scene, there usually aren't any baseball bats or axes within grabbing reach. If your axe or machete fails after Jason's stunned by his mom's sweater, you're in deep shit.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: It is implied in the Tommy Tapes that Tommy is being terrorized by Freddy Krueger. That being taken into account, it would explain how Freddy found out about Jason, meaning that Tommy indirectly caused the events of Freddy vs. Jason, which had one of Jason's largest on-screen body counts.
- Useless Item: Because his stats are all maxed out any Perks you gave your counselor before are probably now redundant.
- Walking Techfix: Can repair anything in the blink-of-an-eye. Only two counselors, Eric and Deborah, can match his skill.
- Weirdness Magnet: According to the Tommy Tapes, not only is Tommy constantly victimized by Jason, but his constant shuffling around from institutions has also caused him to have run-ins with Freddy Krueger and Victor Crowley, as well as ending up in various other locations involved with supernatural serial killers, thus making Tommy either this, or extremely unlucky.
Detective Rico
A detective from Crystal Lake who cleaned up after the massacres in the fourth, fifth, and sixth films. He often came to blows with Tommy over the validity of Jason's existence..
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kind of. He makes life miserable for Tommy, but he genuinely wants Crystal Lake to recover from the mayhem Jason has caused and feels Tommy's vendetta against Jason is not helping matters.
- Jerkass: Absolutely so. He shows little to no sympathy towards Tommy after his mother dies, and next to Jason himself, is the prime reason the poor boy's life falls apart.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He is an overall unpleasant person, but he does raise an excellent point. Jason's story makes very little sense, as he evidently drowned as a child, only to pop up alive and well and a grown man, and repeatedly comes back from the dead. After hearing how he explains it, it would be hard to believe Tommy's claims.
Rob Dier
The first victim, who is always killed in the opening cutscene of a match to scatter the player characters.
Rob's movie counterpart from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is the brother of Sandra Dier who has come to Crystal Lake to kill Jason in revenge. For tropes applying to him, see his folder here.
- Back for the Dead: Only exists to be murdered by Jason in a variety of ways to cause the other campers to flee.
- The Cameo: Is a character from Part 4 who had a major role.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Suffers a couple of these, including...
- Having his head turned the other way around.
- Getting his back broken over Jason's knee.
- Slammed onto a sharp tree stump.
- Getting dragged into the lake and drowned.
- Having a knife thrown into his head.
- Burned to death in a campfire.
- Getting his neck broken by a chokehold.
- Being chopped over and over by a woodcutting axe.
- Irony: Rob's original movie incarnation actively sought Jason as part of a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, only to be killed by him. Like in The Final Chapter, this Rob completely fails at this task, and is the only Counselor who can't play a role in killing or even slowing down Jason.
- Non-Player Character: The only counselor you can't play as. It's unknown what his stats would've been if included in DLC before the game got Screwed by the Lawyers, though the fans can universally agree he'd have terrible Luck.
- Sacrificial Lamb: Rob Dier is the person Jason murders at the beginning of every game and clues the other counselors to beat it.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: His iconic movie death at the hands of Jason with a claw hammer in Single Challenge Mode is given to Kenny.
- You Killed My Father: Unmentioned in the game, but he sought revenge on Jason for murdering his sister Sandra.
