Survival Of The Fittest Program V 1 / Characters

open/close all folders

Male Students

M01: David Burn

Designated Weapon: Pipe Wrench

Conclusion: Will probably end up killed in a flourishing move, although that Pipe Wrench may come in handy if he can smarten up quick.

Character Death: Accidentally suplexed to death by Tyler Blake.
- Undignified Death

M02: Durriken Lovel

Designated Weapon: The Art of War by Sam Thompson

Conclusion: That draw is useless to him, and his fortune telling 'ability' won't do him any good anyways. If he can kill by stealth he may have a small chance, but I sincerely doubt it.

Character Death: Suprised by Brett Torres, and after a short confrontation between the two, shot by him.
Fortune Teller: Practices it in his spare time, partially thanks to his parents beliefs. And through the program he seems to predict a number of events happening before they do.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: This along with Girls Like Musicians has given him a generous reputation with some of the female students, to his own bewilderment.

M03: Louis Johnson

Designated Weapon: Xbox Wireless Controller

Conclusion: Really, for all the faults, his lack of patriotism will probably be his down fall. Patriotic students always tend to be the most motivated. Combine that with another useless draw, and M03 doesn't amount to anything special.

Character Death: Hunted down and shot by Sophie Mason.

M04: Brendon Arrington

M04: Brendon Arrington

Designated Weapon: Lighter and butane

Conclusion: If only he had drawn a gun, M04 would be a contender. As it stands though, that lighter will do him little good.

Sole Survivor: The winner of Program V1.
Kill the Ones You Love: Kills his crush, Megan Jacobson, at her request.

M05: Benjamin Latimer

Designated Weapon: Kimber Desert Warrior

Conclusion: Intimidatingly large, with a very nice weapon. M05 may be going places if he can overcome the admittedly small disadvantages he has.

M06: Karl Chalmers

Designated Weapon: American Flag

Conclusion: That American Flag may be a deterrent to some of our more patriotic participants. However diplomacy will only work for so long, especially if his peers already have such a mindset about him. Early to middle out.

Enemy Mine: Ends up like this with Juliet Watanabe, teaming up despite their political differencies.
My Country, Right or Wrong: Holds onto this, and only starts to waver when he's been with Juliet for a while.

M07: Michael Maxwell

Designated Weapon: Gardening Scythe

Conclusion: We've seen students snap before on The Program, and M07 fits that MO very well. His weapon is an added bonus to that possibility.

M08: Sean Tucker

Designated Weapon: Machete

Conclusion: Big brother really is always watching. M08 will be an easy out for someone a little more committed to what America really is.

M09: Harris Von Allen

Designated Weapon: Nightstick

Conclusion: We could use more like M09. His patriotism shows that he will be willing to fight as is his American duty. As such, odds are that he will go far.

The Bully

M10: John Ferrara

Designated Weapon: Banjo w/eagle logo

Conclusion: Just as all other minorities or perceived minorities, M10 will be one of the first targeted, and his weapon does little to overcome this fact.

M11: Alex Thornton

Designated Weapon: Length of Chain (1.5m, heavy links)

Conclusion: *This field has been left blank.*

Accidental Murder: Luke Mendoza calls out to Alex, trying to get his attention. When that fails, he fires a shot, hoping to scare Alex off, but miscalculates and instead fatally shoots him in the chest.
Deadpan Snarker: Alex is noted in his profile to be a constant joker who is so deadpan that it's very difficult for others to tell if he's being serious or not, to the point that this is listed as a potential disadvantage for him in the game.
I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Alex dies because Luke Mendoza plays it loose with gun safety rules, forgetting that one should never point a loaded gun at anything they don't want dead.
Informed Attribute: While it's not too uncommon for this to crop up in characters, especially early outs, Alex stands out because most of his characterization is this—despite having a detailed family history and personality in his profile, he lives only two posts in the game, uttering two words before being gunned down.
The Stoner: Alex has a tendency to celebrate his successes by getting high... even when the success in question is decidedly minor.

M12: Henry Barren

Designated Weapon: A Brick

Conclusion: Such a 'free spirit' would have fared better with a firearm, however M12 seems to be a bit of a wild card with his draw.

M13: Jethro Stuarts

Designated Weapon: Grendel R31

Conclusion: One of our few Femme Fatales will probably come along and collect that weapon from him, leaving him one of the deceased relatively quickly.

M14: Kyle McMann

Designated Weapon: Handcuffs

Conclusion: A relatively average student with a below average pull. That places him easily in the last half of the pack.

M15: Damon Gent

Designated Weapon: Stoner 63

Conclusion: Intelligent and Manipulative with one of the best intimidating factors on The Program, the Stoner 63. M15 stands a considerable chance, assuming he can survive the elements.

M16: Luke Mendoza

Designated Weapon: Heritage .45 Rough Rider revolver

Conclusion: M16 has a very good draw for his weapon, however his lack of confidence around females will very likely mean that it won't be put to it's full use.

M17: Matthew Payne

Designated Weapon: Lock-Picking Kit

Conclusion: Not so much a weapon as utility. M17 will probably be one of the first to go after the minorities, due to the incredible amount of enemies he may have.

M18: Johan Luther

Designated Weapon: Sports Javelin

Conclusion: Again, a wild card. M18 could go either way, becoming quite the contender, or rolling over and dying. Only time will tell however.

M19: Matthew Gourley

Designated Weapon: Calico Liberty III

Conclusion: That very powerful weapon may just give M19 the confidence he needs to make it in The Program. I can definitely forsee him making his way into the top quarter of the pack.

M20: Alex Tartaglia

Designated Weapon: Spiked Knuckle Dusters

Conclusion: His weapon matches his build, but M20's personality and aversion to killing may be one that spells his early downfall.

M21: Brett Torres

Designated Weapon: Raven Arms MP-25

Conclusion: Nationalist with a Gun. The entire point of the program, to seperate the weak from the strong. M21 embodies America, and his draw makes it possible for him to prove it. One of my selections for top four.

M22: Michael Sekoler

Designated Weapon: Double Barreled Shotgun

Conclusion: M22 has a chance of making it if his paranoia translates into a twitchy trigger finger. Probably won't make it the distance, but will probably make it into the top half of contestants.

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Doesn't swear, and has many... Interesting alternatives.
Michael Sekoler: “HOLY POPSICLE STICKS ON A SIDEWAYS SUNDAY!”
Lovable Nerd: Is an awkward, nerdy mess with many colorful alternatives to expletives.
Nervous Wreck: Alex has a tendency to celebrate his successes by getting high... even when the success in question is decidedly minor.
Shovel Strike: Gets clobbered to death with a shovel by Bryant Carver.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Dies during his second appearance.

M23: William Chandler

Designated Weapon: TEC-9

Conclusion: That TEC-9 will end up in the hands of someone who can use it properly and without hesitation very fast.

M24: Bryant Carver

Designated Weapon: Shovel

Conclusion: M24 may be strong, but that won't save him from being an early target. He may as well start digging his own grave now.

M25: DATABASE ERROR

FILE CORRUPTED. PLEASE CONTACT AN ADMINISTRATOR FOR DETAILS.

Dummied Out: Presumably, the spot for M25 was originally assigned to some student who did not show up on Announcement Day; His spot is now filled by a blank thread marked as an error.

M26: Jerry Aarons

Designated Weapon: Ornate Comb

Conclusion: Well, even with the awful weapon, M26 has a shot. It will all depend on his early game performance; if he can actually get himself established, he may carry things, but the odds favor his better-equipped peers.

M27: Tyler Blake

Designated Weapon: A Book of Patriotic Songs and Poems

Conclusion: A complete write off. He lacks a winner's attitude, and lacks a good weapon to equalize that disadvantage. he will likely be quickly betrayed and killed.

All-American Face / The All-American Boy: Deconstructed. Tyler plays the All-American and the Face parts straight, and then his narrative examines what that means in The Program's America. His kind heart and lack of malice or ruthlessness become liabilities, the game's evils break his spirit, and he ultimately dies for his ideals at the hands of the regime of a country he should supposedly represent.
Character Death: He is shot dead by a military sniper for speaking out against the government's militaristic and prejudiced ideology.
- Boom, Headshot!
Classified Information: Tyler's postgame evaluation on the wiki, normally a brief summary of a character's impact/assessment of their game, simply reads CLASSIFIED.
Wrestler in All of Us: Downplayed, since Tyler is an amateur wrestler at a high school level, but killing somebody with a suplex is certainly a SOTF first.

M28: Christ Mitchell

Designated Weapon: Steel pipe

Conclusion: Poor physical condition will doom M28, given his draw. While he may stick around for a bit, given his other skills, he won't be one of the top contenders.

M29: Vaughn Pearson

Designated Weapon Utility knife

Conclusion: As long as M29 can keep from focusing on just his girl and get his hands on a good weapon, he stands a good chance of coming out on top.

Female Students

F01: Sherilyn Schachter

Designated Weapon: Louisville Slugger

Conclusion: The stamina gives her an edge with that weapon that most kids wouldn't have. She may have a fighting chance, but I sincerely doubt she'll come out on top with her lack of fighting experience.

F02: Kami Steele

Designated Weapon: Colt 1911

Conclusion: F02's lack of an attention span will probably spell the death of her. Hopefully someone will come by and put that beautiful weapon to better use.

F03: Chanel Martin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f3_chanel_martin.jpg

F03: Chanel Martin

Designated Weapon: Box of Vicodin

Conclusion: All that those pills will accomplish is to delay the inevitable when a 'friend' turns on her for the good of their country.

F04: Siobhan McCarthy

Designated Weapon: Pool Cue

Conclusion: A large, out of shape girl with a melee weapon. Unless her lover provides her with something a little more substantial and less strenuous, I don't see F04 lasting for too long, even with her little bodyguard there.

F05: Melinda Schenn

Designated Weapon: Red Ryder BB Gun

Conclusion: Assuming that F05 can get that first kill with such a poor draw, her stamina and speed will take her far in this game. Perhaps the accuracy of her shots on the ice will translate to accuracy with a gun on some level.

F06: Sophie Mason

Designated Weapon: Crowbar

Conclusion: Well, this one may stand a bit of a chance. Her weapon is at least decent, and she has an ally in F10, if they can meet up. However, the potential for betrayal may well tear them both apart. Her sister probably has the better chance, in the long run.

F07: Rena Bellaire

Designated Weapon: Steel Lockbox (Contains Dan Wesson M1911 Razorback)

Conclusion: If she's able to figure out a way to get that lockbox open, F07 has a very nice draw. However I see a betrayal coming in to play somewhere along the line. We'll see just how good she really is at thinking on her feet.

F08: Ryan Montoya

Designated Weapon: A Cardboard Box

Conclusion: The one who doesn't get a weapon is the one who doesn't need it. For the fact that she both has paranoia and martial arts experience, F08 may end up vying for the top spot if she can be intelligent around guns.

F09: Nichole Campbell

Designated Weapon: 6 Pack of Beer

Conclusion: I foresee F09 being easily exterminated early on in the game. She seems to have very few skills which will translate well to the program, and her poor physical condition will likely result in her down fall.

F10: Stephanie Mason

Designated Weapon: Remington 870

Conclusion: I sincerely doubt that F10 will be able to handle the kick coming from the weapon she has been issued. Likely someone will manipulate her for her survival knowledge, and finish her off at the most opportune moment.

F11: Marilyn Williams

Designated Weapon: Hi-Point Model JHP

Conclusion: If she can find the motivation to fight, she may have a chance at winning fueled on by her desire for revenge. If she wins, she may garner some respect. If she doesn't, one less of her kind in our borders.

F12: Joanne Seguin

Designated Weapon: Fire Axe

Conclusion: If it weren't for the narcolepsy, F12 would stand a solid chance. However as it stands, she will probably fall asleep and be eliminated by someone looking for easy prey.

F13: Jennifer Steinman

Designated Weapon: K-BAR Knife

Conclusion: All I can see coming from F13 is drama in the long run.

F14: Sydney Cole

Designated Weapon: Stiff Wire Brush

Conclusion: F14 will probably be another student who is easily used by one of her smarter or more devious peers. Either that or she won't be able to handle the pressure of The Program, and will lash out in violence.

F15: Jessica Vogel

Designated Weapon: Field Rations

Conclusion: The rations go well to compliment her self sufficiency. However, unless she obtains a real weapon quick, odds are that F15 won't be victorious.

F16: Kendra Jones

Designated Weapon: Hand Grenade

Conclusion: Assuming that F16 doesn't upset the wrong person, her draw may let her go quite far.

F17: Juliet Watanabe

Designated Weapon: Le Mat Revolver

Conclusion: There is a possibility that F17 may be another of those 'revolutionaries' we see on The Program every so often. They never succeed.

Character Death: Shot by Marilyn Williams after getting critically injured by Brett Torres.
- Mercy Kill
Enemy Mine: Ends up in an uneasy partnership with Karl Chalmers despite their political differencies.

F18: Wendy Fischer

Designated Weapon: Weighted Glove

Conclusion: F18 may not even be able to lift that weapon she drew, let alone be effective with it. That and her compassionate streak, odds are that she will be yet another stepping stone for someone a little more ruthless.

F19: Logan Sorenson

Designated Weapon: Hatchet

Conclusion: Daughter of a Colonel, Physically Fit. Even though she doesn't quite enjoy the idea of fighting, she may get a feeling that the torch has been passed. Definitely a contender.

Character Death: Bleeds to death in Luke Mendoza's arms after being shot by Stephanie Mason.
Hates Their Parent: Resents her father for her treatment as a child, even going as far as to use her last words to insult him.

F20: Megan Jacobson

Designated Weapon: Football Helmet

Conclusion: Her draw does her little good, and she has very little inherent advantage. F20 will probably be one of the first to fall.

F21: Corrina Landrey

Designated Weapon: Riot Shield

Conclusion: Manipulation only gets one so far in life, and in The Program. F21 may have a chance, albeit slim.

F22: Claire Heartland

Designated Weapon: Ruger Mark III

Conclusion: If she can avoid being manipulated herself, her studying of past versions of the program and her draw may be the winning combination.

F23: Abby Erickson

Desginated Weapon: Claw Hammer

Conclusion: Useless, and a massive target. Zero chance of victory.

Character Death: Pulled out of her hiding place by her hair and shot by Madeline Harris.

F24: Allison Greene

Designated Weapon Action Figure of a Soldier

Conclusion: Almost a shame, someone with her skills receiving such a poor weapon. F24 needs something slightly more substantial if she wants any hope.

F25: Priscilla Sawyer

Designated Weapon: Bike Lock

Conclusion: F025 might have been a threat, if she'd actually had a decent pull. Now, though, she seems likely to panic and become an early out. That fear will really get in the way of her acquiring anything truly useful.

F26: Madeline Harris

Designated Weapon: Kahr K9

Conclusion: An artist is not a fighter, but that gun in F26's hands may give her a brush she can use to make a different kind of art.
