Male Students

M01: Andrés "Drew" Ladd

Designated Weapon: Winchester Model 70

Character Death: Drew is killed by the US army's clean-up crew when they fire a grenade into his sniper's nest.
Do Not Go Gentle: Realising that the US military has arrived to clean up loose ends, not cancel the game, Drew defiantly begins shooting at the soldiers, wounding and possibly killing a couple of them before dying at their hands.
Last Stand
Mauve Shirt: While Drew was an NPC, who were explicitly Red Shirt style/supporting characters, he was around for the entire duration of the Prologue, was one of few NPCs that interacted with threads outside of his own (albeit via bullet drop-ins), and even scored a kill on a significant villain. Of course, in the end, Drew was still ultimately killed by the US army clean-up crew.

False Friend: Grant is this to both Maribel and Charity, gaining their trust and then betraying it.
Laser-Guided Karma: A few short metres from the safety of a British helicopter and casually escaping the consequences of his terrible actions, Grant is shot in the back and bleeds out aboard the chopper.
The Sociopath: He shows zero remorse or empathy for anything he does, betraying Charity Gardner out of convenience, refusing to give Maribel Bay the dignity of an explanation for condemning her to die, and his only response to The Cavalry arriving and making him consider that Charity hadn't needed to die was 'too bad'.
Unreliable Narrator: Grant's narrative carefully omits what he did to Maribel up until The Reveal.
Wham Line: "Mind your head."
Would Hit a Girl: And shove her down some stairs, and maim her, and blow another one up...
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: He fakes a knee injury to cover up the fact the blood splattered on his pants isn't his.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Grant decides that having Charity with him isn't worth the ticking timebomb that is Maribel's eventual death identifying him as a killer. So he throws an actual bomb at her.

Scars Are Forever: It’s mentioned he’s wearing makeup to cover a childhood scar on his cheek for Announcement Day.
Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: When he hears Ambrose and Michael approaching, his first response is to hide in a wardrobe, then try to skate outside once the coast is clear. Unfortunately, he times it too early and they spot him.

M53: Matthew Morgan

Designated Weapon: 20x Nerf Darts

Female Students

F01: Mina Mashall

Designated Weapon: Digital Voice Recorder (48 hour battery life)

Commitment Issues: Mina has a really, really hard time with her relationships, intentionally self-sabotaging when things are going too well because she is afraid of deepening them more meaningfully. This trend continues into her treatment of allies in the game, talking herself into abandoning them.
Foil: To Charlie Cade. They share exacting fathers who demand the best of them. Mina rebels, digging herself ever deeper into a hole, while Charlie is a model student. Mina, while opposed to the system, is exposed as having no ideology underneath, and Charlie in turn loses her trust in that same system. Both end up unmoored from their original worldview.

F02: Charity Gardner

Designated Weapon: Throwing axe

F03: Danielle Baumgartner

F03: Danielle Jane Baumgartner

Designated Weapon: Personalized dog tag

F04: Ingrid White

Designated Weapon: Crowbar

F05: Charlie Cade Jr.

F05: Charles 'Charlie' Cade Jr

Designated Weapon: Bowie Knife

Broken Pedestal: Charlie's faith in America is first shaken and then shattered as she faces up to the reality of the Program.
Combat Pragmatist: She fights tooth and nail every time she engages in violence.
Gender-Blender Name: Her dad, Charles Cade Sr, decided he cared more about the legacy of his name than whether or not it fitted his child's gender.
Foil: To Mina Mashall. They both have exacting fathers who have high expectations of them. Charlie is the successful golden child, Mina is the rebel. Charlie becomes disillusioned with her country because of the Program, Mina's scorn with the 'system' is validated, but she is left rudderless.
Last-Name Basis: Charlie refers to everyone by their surname up until her worldview starts to break down, at which point first names start to enter her narration.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Outside of realtime, the bait and switch where Grant Gault appears to have survived, which would preclude Charlie living due to only one PV3P survivor being permitted per handler. The effect of seeing Grant with an 'escaped' tag, followed by a Charlie post in clean up where she is not dead, followed by a third post back in the rescue where Grant is killed and Charlie lives, just isn't the same when you can see it all in one go.
Military Brat: By definition, but her dad's military history is played up much more than many other characters.
Never Found the Body: Part of The Reveal that Charlie didn't actually die is a post in the clean up thread which reads like she has been left unconscious to bleed out, only for the final line to reveal that she isn't actually there any more.
