Civilian Notes
Adrenaline: he/him
Adrenaline is a very anxious and nervous civilian, but is extremely eager to help. He is quite pitiful when it comes to any forms of self-defense or healing, but absolutely despises being coddled.
Notable Relationships
He is twins with Caretaker. They are extremely close and Caretaker always helps him calm down because of his anxiety.
He is very close with Dash and Flashlight. Dash is very supportive in helping him overcome his fears while Flashlight and Adrenaline both find comfort in each other due to their similar personalities.
Adrenaline dislikes Taunt because he relentlessly picks on him while ignoring boundaries.
Banana Peel (Banana): he/him
Banana Peel is a proud individual with experience in both performing and building/engineering (though he has very little knowledge on it). Despite being extremely teasing, he knows when to back off and doesn’t try to push boundaries. He’s surprisingly respectful even with all the stereotypes surrounding other Banana Peel civilians (well… most of the time).
Notable Relationships
He is close with Taunt and Noisemaker due to their similar goals of getting a few laughs. He and Noisemaker are the ones who have to tell Taunt when to back off.
He’s acquainted with Bugle and since he often performs with him, and is actually quite worried about his self-worth issues. However, Banana Peel finds it hard to approach Bugle thanks to his lighthearted nature, and Bugle’s contrasting irritable personality.
Block: (he/him)
Block is a serious, no-nonsense type of guy. He always seems to be in a “fight-or-flight” moment, being extremely suspicious or cautious of new or unknown factors. Because of an injury in his younger years, he has anarthria (a type of neurological mutism) and communicates through a notepad or sign language as a result. He can be quite blunt and socially inept, but he means well.
Notable Relationships
He is cousins with Hotdog and SweetTooth, but treat them like immediate relatives.
BonusPad: he/him
BonusPad is hard-working, as in he is constantly burning himself out. He is selfless and kind to a fault, where he overworks himself to help others and works way harder than he should to see the good in people. However, once his trust is broken, it is extremely hard to get back since he will begin to have a more cynical perspective.
Notable Relationships
He is the younger brother of CarePad, but they are very awkward and distant with each other. They’re only seemingly connected by their shared passion: engineering.
BonusPad is very close with Caretaker, and she has to remind him often to rest.
Bugle: he/him
Bugle, a once joyful, amiable civilian, is now very irritable and despondent. He’s still friendly, but it is clearly obvious the Lockdown has taken a toll on him. He finds it very frustrating he has to rely on others to keep himself safe and he feels very bad for those who do. He finds comfort in being able to perform miniature performances for the other civilians.
Notable Relationships
Bugle is Noisemaker’s younger brother. Even though they were close, Bugle now finds Noisemaker’s constant pestering annoying, thinking he’s just overreacting over him. Bugle always feels terrible about this and apologizes after each fight. Even so, they still enjoy performing with each other.
Bugle is Taunt’s cousin, but Noisemaker is much closer to him than Bugle is. Bugle hasn’t interacted with him much, other than the occasional small talk, but is one of the few civilians that have not fallen victim to his jokes.
Bugle is acquainted with Banana Peel, and genuinely enjoys performing with him. He finds conversations with him awkward though, and doesn’t talk to him much outside of performing.
CarePad: he/him
Carepad is the average overworked guy who can barely stay awake for more than an hour without coffee. In shorter terms: he’s very overworked. He is constantly juggling his role as both a Caretaker and Bonuspad, and is far too stubborn to give up on the only two things he’s passionate about. Additionally, he is a workaholic and must be pried away from his desk in order to stop him. He also has a cynical personality, unlike his brother, but is very loyal once his trust is earned.
Notable Relationships
He is the older brother of BonusPad. Even though they aren’t close, Carepad genuinely cares for him, even if it doesn’t seem like it sometimes. He’s glad that BonusPad was inspired by him to pursue engineering and it’s probably his biggest achievement.
He is very close to Loveshot thanks to her constant “pestering” (she calls it bonding time). Unlike the other civilians, who find it hard to talk to him, Loveshot is the only civilian who’s able to get a complete sentence out of him. She takes great pride in that. (He acts like he hates it but knows he would genuinely be dying if someone wasn’t taking care of him, so he just accepts it.)
Caretaker: she/her
Caretaker is understanding and kind, even towards the less valued and liked civilians. Well, at least she tries to be. As generous as she can be, her patience can run a bit thin at times, making her far more snappy. She definitely has more patience for certain civilians. She can be a bit nervous but is much more confident than her brother.
Notable Relationships
She is twins with Adrenaline. They are extremely close and help tremendously with his anxiety.
She is very close to BonusPad and is the one who has to remind him to rest.
Cloak: she/her
Cloak is a quiet, calm, and secluded civilian. She is withdrawn and avoids interaction if she can. She won’t ignore others if they try to talk to them, but her answers are very quick and short. Some also find her suspicious due to her stolen cloak but she refuses to elaborate on how she got it.
Notable Relationships
She is the older sister of Dash. They are close and Cloak is much more amiable around him. He supposedly knows how she gained her cloak but also refuses to tell anyone.
Dash: he/him
Dash can be quiet, but is definitely less calm and secluded than his sister. He’s excitable and outgoing. He can be a bit reckless, which often drives a lot of the civilians crazy, but his easygoing and joyful nature make up for it.
Notable Relationships
He is the younger brother of Cloak. They are close and even though Dash doesn’t approve of her actions, he understands why she did it at that time, and finds himself defending them.
He is very close with Adrenaline. Dash hopes to help him overcome his anxiety and nervousness.
Flashlight: he/him
Flashlight is quite shy and nervous, but takes great pride in his sense of direction and ability to calm others down. He is always craving something new to do or see, and can be a bit restless. He’s also a neat freak and very organized; god forbid a thread is out of place.
Notable Relationships
He is very close with Adrenaline. They both enjoy being with each other due to their shared personalities.
He dislikes Taunt for the same reasons as Adrenaline.
Hotdog: he/him
Hotdog is an easygoing, yet uneasy individual. Because of the reputation surrounding his role, he’s uncomfortable around others, even with his relations towards Block. As a result, he has a burning desire to prove himself.
Notable Relationships
He is SweetTooth’s younger brother.
He is Block’s cousin, but treats him like his younger brother.
He is close with Pie. Because of his sister’s friendship towards the chef, Pie often asks him to taste test or assist in the kitchen.
Loveshot: she/her
Loveshot is a witty civilian, who takes pride and joy in being able to help others around her. She is much more dismissive and lenient than her brother and friend, opting to let others care for themselves if they desire to and can, but will not hesitate to give aid to those who truly need it. Her experience with her revolver can make her a bit reckless at times, and needs to be reminded to be more careful. She tends to be overprotective at times, and has a light accent that becomes much stronger when upset.
Notable Relationships
She is Revolver’s older sister. She teases him constantly, but is genuinely worried for him due to his large role as the leader.
She is very close to Carepad. She always checks up on him to make sure he’s not overworking himself and loves to hang out with him, unlike most civilians.
Noisemaker: he/him
Noisemaker is a more charismatic Taunt. He’s very inclusive, always hyping everyone up. He teases the others a lot, but never pushes too far, and is very respectful of the other civilian’s boundaries. If he feels too mean, he always makes sure to apologize. The Lockdown has also taken a toll on him, but he tries to focus on the positive sides, even if it’s difficult. He sees it as a way to pay back those who protect him due to his vulnerability.
Notable Relationships
He is Bugle’s older brother. He tries his best to make Bugle feel better by talking to him, and starting the performances, but Bugle finds it annoying at times, provoking many fights between them. Noisemaker wishes he could do more.
He is Taunt’s cousin. They love doing pranks with Banana Peel but have to constantly stop him from going too far.
He is close with Banana Peel since they perform together and hang out with Taunt a lot.
Pie: he/him
Pie is a gregarious civilian that enjoys lifting the spirits of others around him with his cooking and baking. He also regularly serves as the mediator of the civilians since he is acquainted with most of the civilians. He is his own harshest critic and can be very picky.
Notable Relationships
He is SweetTooth’s coworker and friend. They both work in the kitchen of the bunker as the baker/chef, though Pie is much better at cooking than SweetTooth.
He is close with Hotdog. He often invites the younger civilian to taste test or assist in preparing food.
Punch: he/him
Punch is not very popular amongst the other civilians due to his past. Having ties with a clique/gang in the past, many tend to veer away from him. It sort of works out, seeing that Punch, in return, shows no desire to talk or grow close to any other residents of the bunker. Even if someone tries to be friendly to him, he is snarky and abrupt. He tends to pick fights if someone messes with him far too much, though he seems to be nicer to a certain group of people; many suspect it is solely because of their ability to aid him. He is a lot more street-smart than the other civilians, other than the sole exception of Reroll.
Notable Relationships
He despises Noisemaker, Banana Peel, and Taunt, even though the performers are much less pushy than Taunt is. Taunt often finds himself being the one beaten up by Punch when he goes a little too far.
He values the supports and fellow clobberers, but only because they are able to help him.
The only person he seems to get along with is Reroll, but nobody knows the connection between them.
Reroll: they/them
Reroll is also avoided by most of the civilians thanks to their shady and aloof nature. As a result, they also show no interest others, and seem to have the same, if not shared, background as Punch. Reroll has proved themself to be street-smart, versatile, and skilled, but is extremely reckless. Thankfully, Reroll is a little more talkative than Punch, even if they are just as sarcastic and curt as he is. In fact, they talk quite a lot, much more than one would expect. However, they’re mindful enough of what they say to keep their secrets, despite their careless personality. They can act sly and crafty, but seem to genuinely care for the others, though they only display this concern towards Punch.
Notable Relationships
They only get along with Punch, and the others can’t get a single thing about their connection, no matter how much Reroll talks.
Revolver: he/him
Revolver is a very righteous and stern, yet sociable individual. Like his sister, he pride in being able to help others, though he takes it a little more seriously than his sister. He seems to struggle with his unofficial role as the leader, even though nobody really said he had to be or that he actually was. However, he takes it seriously, even if it’s caused him some unwanted stress. He also puts up a facade to make him seem much more composed than he is, though some of the more perceptive civilians can see right through it.
Notable Relationships
He is Loveshot’s younger brother. He finds comfort in her worrying, and as much as he wants to accept it, he doesn’t want to seem weak to the other civilians. He still lets her coddle him, but never in front of the others. He has a reputation to uphold.
SweetTooth: she/her
SweetTooth is the most easygoing and cooperative, as long as it’s nothing too ridiculous or stupid. She’s also a bit oblivious, as insults or mocking comments seem to go right by over her head. She’s very affable, making it hard for even some of the meaner civilians to be cruel towards her. Not like she cares; she doesn’t even catch it when they are.
Notable Relationships
She is Hotdog’s older sister.
She is Block’s cousin, but treats him like a younger brother.
She is Pie’s coworker and friend. They’re in charge of the food and Pie usually takes over the cooking while SweetTooth bands.
Taunt: he/him
Taunt is possibly the most hated civilian ever. He’s rude, brash, and quite thoughtless to be frank. He’s shockingly kind when he’s not messing around, but the civilians tend to overlook that since he’s almost always trying to get a quick laugh. To him, it doesn’t really matter how he gets it. Unfortunately, he is seemingly unaware of how personal boundaries work. He ends up crossing them or starts talking about sensitive things he really shouldn’t. He thinks his jokes and pranks are funny when they do more harm than good, but his own ignorance doesn’t let him see that. Noisemaker and Bugle try to remind the others it’s because of the people he grew up with, but it’s quite hard to remember when he’s the one laughing at you.
Notable Relationships
He is Noisemaker’s and Bugle’s cousin. He doesn’t know Bugle that well, but has been warned by Noisemaker not to mess with him. However, he is very close with Noisemaker, often doing more harmless and lighthearted pranks with him.
He does the same with Banana Peel and love causing a bit of chaos.
Extra Notes from yours truly, Blackiron
They are truly strange. They call each other by the abilities they have, and I assume they do this to avoid attachment to each other, but it hasn’t worked at all. Y’know, with how much they interact with each other, you’d think they’d all be friends but it is so interesting to see such differing and contrasting interactions with each other. This seems to be most prominent with Block. Only Block himself, Bonuspad, Carepad, Hotdog, and Reroll seem to know sign language, and even then some of their knowledge on it is very limited. Putting that aside, they still work together remarkably well during expeditions.
Killer Notes
I apologize if it is inaccurate; knowledge on the killers is very limited to me. These are all taken from what the civilians have told me.
-Blackiron
Artful: he/him
Artful is a magician who went rogue during a show for mysterious reasons. Many say the hecklers got to him while others say he simply couldn’t handle the pressure. Whatever happened, he now lives in fear of being captured, killing civilians out of fear that he would be taken by the government.
Extra Notes
He’s been reported to be more of a pacifist than the other killers, sometimes avoiding civilians if he sees any. He also seems to be the most isolated of the killers, choosing to stay far away from the others. He only works with them when he doesn't have a choice.
Badware: they/them
Badware is a virus from the Toolbox. Though their original vessel was quickly destroyed, the virus itself made it past the government’s firewalls and began infecting any technology nearby, resulting in the civilians building stronger firewalls or abandoning technology completely. The virus then infected a computer, and built themself a new body, roaming around to infect even more technology and kill any civilian in their way.
Extra Notes
Despite their danger, they are very curious and enjoy learning new things. They also seem to have quite the ego due to their immense power and subordinates. They have taken an interest in the other robot, Killdroid. They are probably just trying to infect them, but who knows? They might just want a friend. As for the other killers, they see them as allies in getting rid of the “pests.”
Harken: she/her
Harken is a construct from the world Fable Heaven and is deathly scared of sound, resorting to get rid of anything that’s too loud. The civilians have tried several times to befriend her by staying quiet, but she has already affiliated them with noise and tried to kill them on sight.
Extra Notes
She hates every single killer except Artful. She probably doesn’t recognize him as a civilian and enjoys his music box.
Killdroid: they/them
Killdroid is a prototype that also went rogue. Many think it was because of a glitch in their code while others think it grew sentience and desired to be free. Regardless, they seem to be determined not to be under the Government’s control, killing any civilians to stop that from happening.
Extra Notes
They still are connected to the Government in some way, meaning that they know where the drop-offs are. Even with this knowledge, they seem to prefer staying away from civilians, though they’ll occasionally appear by the drop-off sites to gather supplies they can fix themself with. They seem to despise the other killers as well, finding Badware particularly annoying.
Pursuer: he/him
Pursuer is a creature of unknown origin. One day, he just appeared, presumably due to the lack of food from the first where he originated from. He began to rely on the civilians for food, using his sword and invisibility effectively to take them down.
Extra Notes
He is also very inquisitive of the new environment, trailing behind the other killers to learn more about them or how they interact with things. Strangely, he doesn’t eat Artful; probably because of the makeup he wears. He also seems to know the tiniest bit of English from civilians.
