{{work}}
== '''Timmy''' ==
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: He's ''completely'' oblivious to just how fucked up the people in the Midway really are.

== '''Dixie''' ==
* [[The Ditz]]

== '''Ike''' ==

== '''Jacky/Jocko''' ==
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Asshole Victim]]: {{spoiler|If you play as him and run into [[Serial Killer]] Ted, you ''will'' be murdered nine times out of ten.}}

== '''Dagmar, the Dog Woman''' ==
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Literally. She's loved dogs since childhood when her German shepherd saved her from a potential murderer, she owns several dogs whom she loves to bits, and her body is covered in dog tattoos.
* [[The Vamp]]

== '''IRS Man''' ==
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Though this could be due to the game's graphical limitations. Despite being described as black by other characters and drawn as such in the cutscenes, his in-game model doesn't have much darker skin than the other characters.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Loves his job a bit too much, but otherwise isn't that bad of a guy.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: His decision to become a taxman came by after someone ran over his childhood dog on their way to file a tax return.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]
* [[Where Da White Women At?]]: If you take the right steps, he and Dagmar become a couple and leave the Midway together.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]
* [[Uptight Loves Wild]]: Him and Ted are perhaps the stuffiest characters in the game, but he seems to have a soft spot for Dagmar.

== '''Otto''' ==

== '''Oscar, the Racing Rat''' ==

== '''Lottie, the Human Log''' ==

A performer in the Midway's freak show, and Ted's mother. Lost her legs in an accident, and has a disease that makes her skin look and feel like tree bark.

== '''Ted''' ==

Lottie's son. {{spoiler|Is a serial killer that can potentially be behind many a character death should you run into him. He takes the dismembered parts of his victims and rearranges them to resemble butterflies.}}

* [[Serial Killer]]
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|If he and Timmy are the only characters left alive by the end.}}
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: A particularly dark deconstruction of someone who believes in this trope. He says himself that he believes things of beauty should ''never'' be killed, and that ugly things should be "liberated" by being killed or eliminated. Curiously, Ted also takes inner beauty into account, as evidenced by him finding his mother "truly beautiful" and the things he says to his victims.
{{quote|"But I abhor ugliness, and [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|you. Are. Ugly.]] Ugly in the feelings found in your soul. Ugly in the thoughts that make up your mind. Ugly in the aches found in your heart."}}
* [[Freudian Excuse]]
* [[Creepy Child]]: This guy killed small animals as a child, and as he grew up, he moved on to people.
* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]:  {{spoiler|If he and Timmy are the only characters left behind by the end of the game, there isn't anyone left for him to kill. He can't bring himself to kill an innocent child like Timmy, and he hangs himself after realizing how ugly and hypocritical he is.}}
