While only two official versions of SOTF-TV have been run as an RP, the game itself has been going on for sixty-five seasons now, and many of the past winners have been detailed and expanded upon through references in RPed seasons and through the lore page. This page exists to provide a quick summary of the winners, without the level of detail inherent to the full lore page. Winners who were actually RPed will have their own pages linked here, along with a quick summary of their time in the game.

Season 1-10 Winners
Name: Brandon Parker
Season: One
Kills: Two
Known Information: Parker was optimistic and idealistic, even in the face of the game. He spent a lot of time trying to convince people to stop fighting. He spent most of the game with his girlfriend and two of his best friends; these two did most of the actual fighting for the group. Parker spent much of the game angsting about his first kill. He was responsible (presumably through incompetence) for the deaths of all three of his companions, with his girlfriend taking a bullet for him. He finally pulled himself together to finish off runner-up A.C. "Bones," who had been crippled by one of Parker's friends but had managed to kill her attacker while Parker stood by and did nothing. Parker is vastly unpopular thanks to winning more by luck and the efforts of his much more interesting companions than his own abilities. "Parkering" or "Parking" is slang for hiding behind allies and trying to be "the good guy" even when it is irrational and causes harm. A movie about Parker (and named after him) actually was somewhat popular, and portrayed him fairly sympathetically. Parker returned to the show in Season Sixty-Six as a mentor, though his level of actual activity was fairly low.
Name: Jesús Amaro
Season: Two
Kills: Four
Known Information: One of the key figures in a group which came to be known as the "Bible Buddies," Jesús was quiet and seemed unlikely to amount to much at the start of the version, but soon came into his own. Steadfastly standing by his friends, and accepting and forgiving others without lapsing into naivete, Jesús was also willing to step up when the occasion demanded it, personally ambushing and slitting the throat of a player who had helped kill one of his group members. One by one, the rest of his group fell, with its final member shot from ambush and slowly leading bleeding out while talking to Jesús, urging him not to try to help as to do so would almost certainly result in his death. In the final stages of the game, Jesús settled the score with most of those who had done his group wrong, finally triumphing over the sniper in a tense and protracted brawl. Despite his heroic demeanor, Jesús was quite cooperative with the producers, and remains involved to an extent, while also working as a radio show host and DJ.
Name: Kenshin 'Kenny' Yamana
Kenny Yamana (Art by Kotorikun)
Season: Three
Kills: Six
Known Information: The first "villain" to manage a win, Kenny Yamana was brash and charming, capturing the hearts of the viewers with his charisma and style even as he pursued his own victory and survival above all else. With a one-liner always at the ready and a sense for when to push an advantage and when to try to back off, Kenny proved a popular winner, though some dedicated fans of strategy criticized elements of his play. Kenny has remained heavily involved with SOTF as a spokesman, and has also branched into acting, usually taking roles as a villain.
Name: Samara Bain
Season: Four
Kills: Six
Known Information: While the first student of her season to kill, Samara Bain did not murder indiscriminately and enjoys a reputation as an anti-hero or even a protagonist, though her actions were in reality roughly as questionable as those of many of her peers. Competent and clever, Samara made her way through the game by stepping up to fights she could win and avoiding situations where she was at a clear disadvantage. She helped others who weren't hostile, but at the end of the day prioritized herself, forcing a confrontation with an ally she felt lacked the necessary fortitude to do what needed to be done. Following her victory, Samara returned to Billings, Montana, where she now runs several charities and is generally a private person, though she does still feature periodically in SOTF-related broadcasts and events and enjoys lasting popularity.
Name: Jonathan Stone
Season: Five
Kills: Four
Known Information: Something of a self-styled gentleman bandit, Jonathan Stone was one of many minor players active during Season Five. While successful in a number of small encounters and skirmishes, his biggest moment was Endgame, where he won a Pyrrhic victory after two brutal, back-to-back melee fights with other finalists. Jonathan sustained injuries so severe that he himself perished before the extraction team arrived. He is one of the more commonly forgotten winners of SOTF, as the series' first successful escape took place the same season and the survivors from that incident filled many of the roles commonly taken by a season's winner.
Name: Susan Moreau
Season: Six
Kills: One
Known Information: Susan and her twin sister, Mary, formed the final two of Season Six. Susan was generally a pacifist, and has been accused of Parkering, but, after her sister killed several of her friends, she became upset enough to stab her to death. Susan is generally acknowledged to have won basically entirely through luck. She has avoided the spotlight since her victory.
Name: Catherine Cody
Season: Seven
Kills: Four
Known Information: A quiet, bookish girl, Catherine Cody happened to be away from her group when it was attacked by an alliance of players. Returning to discover the carnage, Cody determined to get revenge, and set about hunting down players. Despite this pursuit, Cody held to her morality, always remaining willing to listen to others and to consider mercy. While troubled by the fact that her actions were not all that different from the players she pursued, Cody swore not to harm those who were not seeking to cause injury to others. In Endgame, Cody and an ally took down one of the season's most notable players, but due to a miscommunication did not realize they were the final two. Cody's ally bled to death, leaving her the winner. Cody's presence during the season far eclipsed her limited presence outside of it, and while she was fairly open about her experiences for a time, she eventually dropped out of the spotlight. She currently lives with her husband and two children in a small town in Nebraska.
Name: Travis "Bug" Hood
Season: Eight
Kills: Seven
Known Information: Bug was assigned a blackjack and soon stole two C4 explosives. While small and easygoing before the game, he played from the very start, using his reputation to allow him to manipulate his way through.
Name: Tina Jones
Season: Nine
Kills: Six
Known Information: Tina was a moon-faced redhead with a small nose. Scoring an initially-uncredited kill on a friend of hers named Mason Jackson, she continued through the game as an active player, robbing and attacking most of those she encountered. Come Endgame, Tina was chased into a warehouse by another student, who then falsely reported that he had killed her. After his death, Tina managed to hit the two remaining students with one bullet as they shook hands, killing both from ambush. Tina was initially a somewhat unpopular winner with the public, who viewed her as lucky and overly malicious. A few months after her victory, Tina was murdered by the older brother of one of her victims. Her death brought widespread public condemnation towards retaliatory attacks against winners, and Tina's own posthumous reputation is better than that she held while alive.
Name: Gerald O'Neal
Season: Ten
Kills: Two
Known Information: A crafty contestant, Gerald emerged victorious from one of the most disastrous games in SOTF history. Season Ten, confined to an extremely limited arena, saw the majority of its contestants killed in a chaotic initial shootout, and most of the rest cleaned up soon thereafter, Gerald strangling one girl to death. The finale of the season was a thirty-eight-hour standoff between Gerald and the runner up, during which both students, unwilling to engage in actual combat, tried to remain awake and alert. Gerald managed to surreptitiously consume scavenged caffeine pills during this time, allowing him to eventually secure victory when his opponent fell asleep. His actions since his victory are thus far unknown.
Season 11-20 Winners
Name: Christian Greene
Season: Eleven
Kills: Six
Known Information: A linebacker and the son of prominent members of his home community, Christian spent much of the game allied with one of his teammates. While not quite as charismatic or natural a fit as his friend, Christian quickly learned the ropes, and the pair became a force to be reckoned with as dangerous players. Christian's partner was killed by a fluke shot, and as he died Christian tearfully promised to win in the boy's honor. The dominant force heading into Endgame, Christian killed two of his fellow finalists to secure the win. Following his victory, he cashed in on his newfound renown, traveling the interview circuits, but after about ten years of prominence he suddenly vanished from the spotlight, returning to his family's ranch and communicating with the fandom only remotely. While the cause for this shift is unknown, speculation tends to center around an explosive interview given by an ex-girlfriend of his.
Name: Reece Cutter
Season: Twelve
Kills: Three
Known Information: Reece started her season off in a fairly moral fashion, focusing primarily on protecting and assisting her girlfriend, who was shot on the first day. As the game progressed, however, an increasingly-desperate Reece resorted to drastic measures, murdering another girl for her medical supplies and actively working to eliminate others in Endgame. Her efforts came slightly too late, however, and her girlfriend passed away from the infection; a disconsolate Reece had to be restrained lest she hurt herself. Following a period of recovery and mourning, Reece leveraged her notoriety for produce a line of clothing and open a baked goods shop, falling largely out of the spotlight soon afterwards.
Name: Monika Trace
Season: Thirteen
Kills: Four
Known Information: Athlete and surfer Monika Trace became viewed as a gritty hero of Season Thirteen, known for her resolve and for her season-long rivalry with the villainous runner-up. While the boy pursued Monika throughout the game, she was always able to give him the slip or force him to retreat, though she found herself in other tight situations along the way and accumulated a kill count of her own. Eventually, Monika emerged victorious in a final showdown, refusing to mercy kill her adversary and instead leaving him to bleed out. She quietly returned to her home and her surfing after the game, and largely deflects discussion of her time in SOTF.
Name: Georgia “Hatchet” LaLourvey
Season: Fourteen
Kills: Three
Known Information: A small, sarcastic girl, Hatchet earned her nickname not through rampant murder but rather through her penchant for ending up in strange situations involving axes. In a season that relied heavily on poorly-considered gimmicks and artificial flash and dazzle, Hatchet was a high point, providing witty commentary and real charm. During the finals, she triumphed through her wits, tricking her final foe into using a hatchet that she had earlier doctored to fall apart. Hatchet remains popular in the SOTF sphere, hosting a talk show and making frequent appearances as an analyst.
Name: Shauna Little
Season: Sixteen
Kills: Five
Known Information: Shauna was a shy basketball player, who early in the game allied with a former antagonist from school. The pair were recruited for an escape group by one of Shauna's friends, who at first ran it with charisma and seeming success, but over the course of the season flaws in his plans became apparent as setbacks mounted, including Shauna killing a player the group was trying to capture. Finally, everything came to a head in a massive argument, where Shauna kicked off violence by impulsively shooting a girl who was posturing aggressively. As the whole group collapsed, Shauna fled, and spent the remaining time before Endgame without allies. The final three were Shauna, her original ally, and another member of their escape group; the latter tried to convince the girls to commit suicide to deny the game a winner, but this unified the girls, who gunned him down before letting their differences take hold again. Shauna prevailed in a fierce gunfight. After the game, she found herself quite an unpopular winner, viewed as a stooge for the questionably-cogent escape plot, and her insistence on doubling down in defense of her actions did her no favors. She slipped entirely from public view during Season Seventeen, becoming a clerk in Montana, but has in recent years made a few returns to the SOTF fandom as a guest in shows or podcasts, though her views have not changed notably over the years.
Name: Ryan Butler
Season: Seventeen
Kills: Four
Known Information: A major fan of SOTF, Ryan played according to his strategic theories, avoiding trouble when possible and dispatching it efficiently when not. While he did have a few stumbles here and there—notably failing to shoot a player to death and getting beaten for his troubles before he turn the tables with a knife and shooting his crush by mistake when he mistook her for a threat—Ryan was overall largely successful in his endeavors. In Endgame, Ryan lay low until only one contestant remained, then emerged and shot her to death. He avoided some of the unpopularity common to other winners who lurked their ways through the game, largely due to actually being involved in a fair amount of action prior to Endgame, and remains a decently popular winner. Ryan owns and operates his own SOTF fansite, which enjoys solid popularity and a good reputation.
Name: Austin Avila
Season: Eighteen
Kills: Two
Known Information: A popular, handsome soccer player, Austin's season was largely spent searching for his girlfriend, who had succumbed to the pressures of the game and begun to kill. His feelings towards her were complicated by several encounters in which they met at cross-purposes, and ultimately Austin had to kill his own best friend to prevent the boy from killing her. Finally, Austin killed her by her own request, leaving him the winner. Austin's extraction was difficult; he attempted to shoot himself, thwarted only by his gun being out of ammunition. He refused to speak to the press in any capacity and refused to seek treatment for his psychological problems. Two years after his victory, he was smothered to death by his own father in an act of attempted mercy. Charges against his father were eventually dropped, but the action tore apart his surviving family.
Name: Kjartan Sorensen
Season: Nineteen
Kills: None
Known Information: A reserved sprinter with a knack for escaping and avoiding trouble, Kjartan achieved a certain measure of infamy when he managed to win Season Nineteen without ever killing anyone. Kjartan relied on his speed and a number of tricks to keep him out of harm's way, famously submerging himself in a pond and breathing through a reed to give a player the slip. Come Endgame, Kjartan triumphed simply by staying out of the way; the badly-injured runner up believed Kjartan dead and lay down to await extraction, ultimately bleeding to death. While Kjartan enjoyed a certain measure of popularity in certain circles, he also faced widespread criticism for his play. While Kjartan has participated in SOTF-related events here and there, he holds very mixed feelings about the show, believing it responsible for the end of his athletic career and blaming it for overshadowing all else in his life. Today, Kjartan teaches physical education at a university.
Name: Daisy Robinson
Season: Twenty
Kills: Two
Known Information: The twin sister of the first student to die in Season Twenty, Daisy established a measure of fame for her brutal baseball bat ambushes which, while often not fatal, provided a number of striking clips. Daisy spent much of the game locating her sister's body and taking revenge upon her killer, and only truly committed to gunning for the win after succeeding at these goals. Daisy formed an unlikely connection and truce with the season's top killer, but ultimately the two went their separate ways rather than risk tainting their newfound friendship with suspicion; when Daisy saw her erstwhile ally under attack in Endgame, she did not intervene to save the girl's life, moving in only afterwards to secure her own victory. Daisy enjoyed a solid level of popularity following her victory, though a hiatus from the public eye to attend college two years after her victory saw her profile notably lowered. Since graduation, she has slowly become more active in the SOTF scene once again.
Season 21-30 Winners
Name: Yvain Martel
Season: Twenty-One
Kills: Two
Known Information: Yvain, a member of the student council and a pianist for the school orchestra, became the youngest contestant ever to win a season, at fifteen years old, due to having skipped a grade. At the start of the game, Yvain inadvertently provoked a rival of his from the student council, who pursued him. When the boy caught up to Yvain again later, their fight was interrupted when another student, a low-profile loner, intervened on Yvain's behalf, killing his assailant. Yvain and his savior traveled together from that point on, taking aggressive action against players. A fight turned bad for them later in the game, and Yvain's partner sacrificed himself to protect Yvain, who able to return to the fight but too late to save the life of his ally. Endgame was a brief affair, as one antagonistic student fired on the other three; while he was soon brought down, he killed one contestant and fatally wounded another, leaving Yvain and the dying boy to quietly converse for a time. While Yvain was not an immediate standout of a winner, his personable nature soon won him some fans. He finished high school and went on to a renowned music school, and is a concert pianist with the New York Philharmonic; while he is married, he and his wife are currently separated. Yvain has participated in SOTF-related events, but has been scaling back his appearances, with rumors suggesting he may struggle more with his situation than is obvious to the public.
Name: Sawsan Abboud
Season: Twenty-Two
Kills: Three
Known Information: One of the standout contestants in a season characterized by large alliances, Sawsan was known in part as one of four students who kept up their allies' spirits by singing to them. Something of the moral core of her group, and one of its leader's closest advisers and allies, Sawsan wasn't much of a fighter, but nonetheless played a key role in their successes. Come Endgame, Sawsan was left to face a girl who had betrayed her alliance and killed its other remaining members. She initially offered mutual suicide as an option, but when the other girl declined and indicated her desire to live, Sawsan, unwilling to let her go unpunished, entered into a final showdown with her and emerged victorious. Following her victory, Sawsan leveraged her time in the game into a musical career. Her first album, based on her experiences in the season, was well-received, but her second was generally panned. Still a decently popular winner, she has attempted to balance her association with the show against her moral leanings, with some viewing her as inauthentic due to the compromises she has made.
Name: Yani Zamora
Season: Twenty-Four
Kills: Two
Known Information: Yani Zamora, a cheerleader from a wealthy Massachusetts family, had a very difficult time in the early stages of her season, as she was badly beaten at the start of the game and later robbed and again beaten as her longstanding ally failed to properly back her up. When she confronted him about this, he became enraged and tried to kill her, though Yani ultimately stabbed him to death while sustaining further injuries of her own. After this, she allied with an outcast from the other school represented in the season, an alliance that saw her through to Endgame, where her ally perished at the hands of the season's biggest villain; Yani avenged him and found herself the winner. Finding herself disillusioned with the fame she'd won, Yani turned her back on the show despite her relative popularity, eventually moving to Norway to lead a quieter life and over time beginning to actively denounce SOTF.
Name: Cassandra Norton
Season: Twenty-Five
Kills: Four
Known Information: A Chicago teenager thrown into a season of SOTF set in an abandoned business park, Cassandra played a mobile game, making her way from building to building to gather supplies and evade trouble. She eventually made use of tools left in the area to fashion her assigned trumpet into a number of improvised weapons, with which she killed three other contestants. Cassandra was a late arrival to the finals, and ended up mercy killing the severely-wounded runner up. Never too involved in the show after her victory, Cassandra now works as an industrial engineer.
Name: Marisa Vyland
Season: Twenty-Six
Kills: Three
Known Information: Marisa was a cheerleader who many assumed would be an easy elimination, and in fact she almost threw herself from a roof early in the game. She changed her mind at the last second and dedicated herself to helping others where possible, though in Endgame she developed a more pragmatic streak, proactively working to ensure her survival against a largely-villainous cast. She dropped from the public eye soon after her victory to pursue college and EMT training, but returned to SOTF in recent years as a member of its extraction team and an assistant on various medical-related matters.
Name: Agustin Olivera
Season: Twenty-Seven
Kills: Four
Known Information: Agustin, a heavyset and scruffy Argentinian football player, earned his nickname, "The Werewolf," by killing a boy with a bite to the neck on the first night of the game. Agustin was not naturally belligerent, and teamed up with a group attempting escape and headed by his crush. The group soon devolved into infighting, springing largely from personal drama, and eventually the members turned on each other violently; Agustin, one of the least belligerent, was also the only survivor, having killed one of his former allies. Agustin scored two more kills in Endgame, both in fairly justifiable circumstances. While popular with the fans due to his actions in the game, Agustin did not do well in the spotlight, lacking skill in interviews. He attended college at North Carolina State University, but dropped out after a year due to mental health issues and moved back to Argentina with his family. He has kept a remarkably low profile since, and his whereabouts, while unknown, are the subject of periodic online speculation.
Name: Arthur Lam
Season: Twenty-Eight
Kills: Four
Known Information: An irritable and loud-mouthed punk rock fan, Arthur Lam could perhaps have been a popular contestant had he possessed a little more self control. As it was, he made his way through the game constantly finding himself in trouble of his own making; notable incidents included accidentally convincing a girl that her best tactical option was to kill Arthur, provoking an attack by sarcastically admitting to a murder he did not commit, exacerbating a hand injury by punching himself in the leg for emphasis, and—perhaps most infamously—giving up an easy victory by throwing his gun at the other two remaining finalists (neither of whom was armed with a ranged weapon) in a fit of rage. After the game, Arthur descended into drug addiction, and in 2018 was killed when he crashed a car while driving under the influence.
Name: Larissa Ford
Season: Twenty-Nine
Kills: Five
Known Information: Starting the season on a poor note with a Barbie doll as her assigned weapon, Larissa formed an alliance with another contestant and played a very defensive game, killing only in self-defense—something she was, however, forced to do quite frequently. While her former ally turned player as the game wound down, Larissa held to her morals all the way until Endgame, when she finally acknowledged that all left would have to fight to the death. Larissa finished her final competitor with a blow to the throat from a pool cue. Her activities following the season are currently unknown.
Name: Daphne Rivers
Season: Thirty
Kills: Two
Known Information: A popular member of the student council, Daphne used her wits and the devotion of her boyfriend, Ethan, to carry her through the game. The bulk of the pair's violence was handled by Ethan, who was actually regarded as the far more moral of the pair since most of what he did was due to Daphne's misdirection; indeed, he realized what was wrong too late, when Daphne shot during Endgame, believing she was securing her victory. Daphne, however, had failed to realize that one of the season's most notable players was still alive, and was forced to stand on her own for a final battle which she emerged victorious from. While somewhat popular, Daphne also established a reputation as a villain due to her conniving ways and calculated betrayal of Ethan. She worked to distance herself from that part of her life to the extent she could, and currently works as a designer and runway model.
Season 31-40 Winners
Name: Drake Godwin
Season: Thirty-One
Kills: Five
Known Information: Something of an antihero, Drake's single-minded and brutal pursuit of players left him on less comfortable moral footing than many past SOTF protagonists. Known for ambushing players using a hammer, Drake sought out killers with generally high success. Despite his solitary nature in school, Drake did take a partner in his endeavors in the game; she was his last kill, as she had been critically wounded in the final fight. Drake was moderately popular as a winner, and became known for blunt and and brief interviews and fan interactions. He leveraged his fame into a role as a spokesman for a hardware store for a time, and is currently expecting a child with his college sweetheart.
Name: Blake Smithson
Season: Thirty-Two
Kills: One
Known Information: A delinquent who'd been on the straight and narrow prior to a messy divorce between his parents, Blake at first seemed ripe with promise but was quickly convinced to join a largely pacifistic group, whose ideals he stayed true to for almost the entire game. Blake ultimately shot one other student in Endgame, then saw his final opponent fall through a weak point in the floor, leaving him the sole survivor after the other boy slowly bled to death. A winner with a questionable reputation, Blake did however attract a particular female fandom due to his charms, which he took advantage of, eventually fathering a child with one of his fans and fleeing to the UK rather than play an active part in his daughter's life. He's involved with itinerant work and possibly crime, and is rarely contacted for SOTF-related shows and projects, particularly given his propensity for drunken belligerence.
Name: Lara Oliver
Season: Thirty-Three
Kills: None
Known Information: "Lucky Lara," a gentle girl with dreams of becoming a paramedic, flat out refused to kill when chosen to participate in Season Thirty-Three. This reservation did not, however, dissuade her from allying with more active and willing students, and these alliances saw her through to the finals, where she hid in a patch of bushes while the other contestants killed each other. Lara's penchant for surviving while far more popular contestants died left her generally unpopular, something not helped by her strong criticisms of the show following her victory, which many view as hypocritical. Aside from advocacy against SOTF, Lara successfully trained as a paramedic and lives with her husband and daughter in Austin, Texas.
Name: Lily Harper
Season: Thirty-Four
Kills: Four
Known Information: A cheerleader assigned a useless weapon, Lily allied with several friends and tried to coast through the season, set in an amusement park, by hiding in the infrastructure of a log flume ride. While this carried her through the first half of the game, her group was eventually routed by a player. Lily came into possession of the group's gun and managed to turn things around, shooting their attacker and causing him to topple off a ledge to his death. Lily became determined to win, but also unwilling to give up her morality to do so; her next two kills were more or less justified, one coming when she accidentally shot a girl trying to rob her and the other when she mercy-killed a critically injured boy. Lily agreed to deliver a message to the latter's girlfriend, and planned to protect this girl and see her through the game at his request. In Endgame, Lily was shot in the legs multiple times in a fight with the last remaining villain, but before the girl could finish Lily off, she was distracted by the girl Lily was trying to save and killed her, allowing Lily time to bring her weapon to bear. Thus, Lily largely inadvertently ended up the season's winner. Lily gave an initial interview while in the hospital, but generally shunned publicity to focus on her recovery. Her injuries forced her to give up her dreams; while she can now walk with the aid of a cane, she was forced to leave much of her athletic lifestyle behind. In part due to guilt over her actions, she largely distanced herself from SOTF, and currently teaches elementary school in Virginia.
Name: Ashley "Ash" Wilson-Black
Season: Thirty-Five
Kills: Two
Known Information: Ash, a handsome and charismatic rugby player, was quickly picked by the producers as a focal point for his season. He was framed as a hero, given inordinate attention in the recaps and highlights, and had the seemingly-inevitable confrontation between himself and his best friend (and the version's biggest killer) hyped greatly. The pair clashed to an extent, but actually cooperated come Endgame, and when they were the only two left, engaged in conversation rather than combat; this was resolved when Ash's friend declared him the better man and shot himself. Ash, despite the level of attention he was given during the season, proved an incredibly uncooperative winner, refusing any sort of benefits from his time on the show, aided by the backing of his best friend's wealthy family. This led to his season quickly falling into obscurity. Following a stint in a psychiatric hospital, Ash got his life back on track, and now owns an auto repair store, though he remains very private in his personal life, and uses his public position only to advocate against SOTF.
Jared as interpreted by diseasedbear
Name: Jared Clayton
Season: Thirty-Seven
Kills: Eight
Known Information: Originally thought an easy out in a version packed with notable contenders, Jared defied the odds and emerged victorious. Jared's first kill came when a girl who was torturing him with a razor blade got too close and he tore her throat out with his teeth, leaving him to work free of his bonds. Later on, he was confronted by a boy named Mike Martelli, who told Jared he couldn't stomach playing the game. When Mike turned his back, Jared killed him with an iron file he'd claimed from his first kill. As the game progressed, Jared found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and was shot by a the four-strong group for surprising them by entering their cabin hideout, though he survived. He played dead for six hours as his assailants talked and licked their own wounds. Finally, Jared managed to retrieve a grenade he'd found on Martelli, which he threw into the assembly. He escaped, while all four of the others died in the blast. Jared's final two kills came in Endgame, as he found a flank on a footballer-turned player and then engaged in a drag-down brawl with a martial artist, eventually overcoming her superior training through willingness to improvise and gouging her throat with a broken bottle. In Season Sixty-Five, Jared served as mentor of the Purple Team, and in that capacity he detonated the collar of Jhamel Thompson under the directions of the producers, helping facilitate the retrieval of co-winner Karen Ruiz. He returned in Season Sixty-Six as mentor of the Violet Wolves, though this team did not find the same success the Purple Team had enjoyed.
Name: Archibald "Archie" Stewart ("Zombie")
Season: Thirty-Eight
Kills: Five
Known Information: Archie is huge, six and a half feet tall and 280 pounds, though not obese. He wrestled in high school, and currently wrestles for Cornell University. Archie's assigned weapon was the complete works of Terry Pratchett, which he spent time reading during the game and was allowed to keep in the aftermath.
Archie killed several other students, notably in once chokeslamming a player off a ledge. The finals consisted of him and the biggest player of his season, who managed to seriously injure Archie. He assumed Archie was dead until the boy rose up in a rage, grabbed a discarded spear, and attacked once more. This incident is the source of his "Zombie" moniker. Archie had to be rescued from the arena after his victory, having sustained too many injuries to leave under his own power. Archie took a long time to recover, and is now strongly opposed to SOTF-TV. Due to the injuries and trauma sustained over the course of the season, Archie does not actually remember the end of his game. He has had no interactions with the media since his victory, but is featured in at least one of the "SOTF Combat" video games.
Name: Abiodun "Abby" Afolayan
Season: Thirty-Nine
Kills: None
Known Information: Abby was a fan of TV given a decent weapon, but that did little to help her during her season. Plagued with misfortune and tactical missteps, Abby bungled an attempt to charm another competitor, spent a substantial amount of time tied up with duct tape, and—in her closest moment to real success—shot a boy but failed to confirm her kill, only learning from the announcements that he had survived. Come Endgame, Abby was considered a low threat, and a superficial wound was misinterpreted by the other contestants (and many members of the audience) as being fatal. While the others fought, Abby made herself a sandwich, planning to jump out and kill whoever was left standing; this plan, however, also fell apart, albeit in a manner more beneficial to her: the second and third place contestants killed each other, leaving Abby the winner without having to actually fight. Generally cast as a villain due to her ambitions, if not her track record, Abby was initially heavily criticized, but her charming demeanor and willingness to be self-deprecating quickly saw opinions shift. She's now a fairly beloved winner, having embraced some of the more comedic aspects of her run, and has established a talk show called Reality Check! where she provides similarly humorous analysis to other seasons. She has also played roles in several films and television programs, as well as being a popular source of reaction images used online.
Season 41-50 Winners
Stephanie as interpreted by Yugikun
Name: Stephanie Cahill
Season: Forty-One
Kills: Three
Known Information: Stephanie, a nerdy girl many thought would perish early, spent a large part of her game as the first mate of a friend's "pirate crew," though she splintered off when his paranoia and hypocrisy became too much to bear. Striking out on her own, Stephanie found herself first forced to kill and then choosing to do so, as she hunted down her friend's murderer. While she was incapacitated in the finals, she managed to turn the situation around and fell her captor. Stephanie has used her fame to travel the world and enjoy her life, continuing a loose association with the show and putting aside personal responsibility for the actions she took while participating in it.
Name: Ryan Arryn
Season: Forty-Two
Kills: Two
Known Information: A student with a punk/goth image, Ryan was relatively unnoticeable around school. Ryan spent nearly a week traveling with a friend, only achieving any sort of prominence as the inciting factor of one of the season's biggest fights. The two were chased by a group of players, and Ryan and one of them were taken captive by a large, well-equipped, but generally aimless alliance. A pair of separate rescue missions converged, and the result was a massive bloodbath, though Ryan escape the worst of it due to having been stowed in a closet and then escaping through a vent. Ryan had a brief and peaceful exchange with a player prior to Endgame, though when next they crossed paths in the finals, Ryan got the drop on him and killed him. Ryan methodically tracked and killed the remaining finalist, becoming the season's winner. After the game, Ryan came out as having an androgynous gender identity, using xe/xem/xir pronouns. Xe quickly captured the hearts of the fandom with quirky behavior in interviews and ads, and xe became a fairly prominent LGBT+ spokesperson, launching a fashion line of gender neutral and trans-friendly clothing.
Name: Trinity "Trickshot" Seo
Season: Forty-Three
Kills: Four
Known Information: Trinity was a quiet Korean-American girl who rose to prominence in her group following the death of its original leader. During a confrontation, she made an improbable shot that connected with and fatally wounded a member of a group attacking Trinity and her allies—she later learned that her victim had been her own cousin. The murder of the group's leader by one of its own led it to split down the middle, with Trinity heading the faction more true to its original pacifistic ideals. Over time, however, Trinity found herself killing again, accounting for two of her fellow Endgamers. Trinity was largely pushed out of her family due to her killing of her cousin, and intentionally slipped into relative obscurity, focusing on making her way through college. She was, however, briefly back in the news in 2018 when she attended an SOTF-related event and was assaulted by the mother of one of her victims.
Name: Kieran Hanley
Season: Forty-Four
Kills: Eight
Known Information: Kieran began playing the game fairly early, killing a large part of his group while on watch duty. As the game progressed, he killed other students who got in his way, eventually making his way into the finals. There, he nearly died while fighting, but was saved when the survivor of the group he'd betrayed accidentally shot his opponent. Kieran was then able to finish off the boy who had just inadvertently saved his life.
Name: Ivy Jain
Season: Forty-Five
Kills: Seven
Known Information: Ivy started the game as the second in command of the leader of a player clique, but soon came into her own, betraying and killing her former friend. Many other betrayals and killings followed, including a suicide pact with her own girlfriend that Ivy failed to follow through on. Ivy was badly beaten and left for dead in Endgame, but recovered enough to emerge victorious in the final fight of the season. Ivy spent several months recovering from her ordeal and undergoing various surgeries, and while attention on her had somewhat waned, she was able to get started in acting and modelling. Ivy is a frequent target of tabloid gossip, struggling with substance abuse and providing frequent celebrity drama.
Name: Elliot Rakowski
Season: Forty-Six
Kills: Seven
Known Information: Elliot, a small-scale video-blogger, began his game in a somewhat moral fashion, hunting down players, but soon fell to a darker path. He began to judge other students for all sorts of questionable "crimes," justifying their murders to himself, often with the barest provocation. The final fight of the season saw Elliot and the runner-up engage in a showdown that moved from firefight to melee combat to bare-fisted brawl, and despite sustaining heavy injuries, Elliot came out on top. He put the measure of popularity he gained to good use, cultivating a following for his blogs and livestreams, but is notoriously touchy with regards to the dissonance between his popularly-held status as a villain and his personal views on his gameplay.
Name: Victor Frazee
Season: Forty-Seven
Kills: Eleven
Known Information: Victor Frazee, who currently holds the record as the most prolific killer to win SOTF, was not considered much of a contender for much of his season. Overconfident and quick to anger, Victor was seen as a humorous figure at first, thanks to his frequent mishaps. In the middle of the game, he chased a boy with whom he'd clashed earlier beneath an old pier on which sat a restaurant, then blew the boy up with a shot from his grenade launcher. The collateral damage from this destroyed the pier, killing a large number of the most active and popular students in the game, who were at that moment engaged in a confrontation above. Victor went on to score two more kills, frustrating fans again when he brought down a more popular player he was allied with by lashing out in a fit of anger. In Endgame, Victor mostly ran away from the other competitors, a number of whom were out for his blood. He was saved from death by the runner-up, but the boy promptly shot Victor too, and then committed suicide, hoping to deny the game a winner. Victor, however, survived his injuries. Astoundingly unpopular with the fandom, Victor was shunted out of the spotlight and burned bridges even with smaller venues. He also had multiple run-ins with the law, and is currently serving an eight year prison term related to domestic violence charges.
Rena as interpreted by Yugikun
Name: Rena Edwards
Season: Forty-Eight
Kills: One
Known Information: A somewhat infamous winner, Rena spent the entirety of her thirteen-day season hiding in the wilderness; she never spoke to another contestant and was in fact likely never even spotted by one. The first to arrive in the Endgame arena, Rena climbed a tree and waited until only one student remained, then dispatched the wounded girl using a sniper rifle while she caught her breath. Rena's victory was extremely controversial, and this prevented her from leveraging her fame to quite the degree she likely wanted to, though she still features on SOTF-related shows and conventions from time to time. She lives in New York City and has recently partnered with Macy's to release a line of purses and handbags.
Name: Jonathan Ricardo
Season: Forty-Nine
Kills: One
Known Information: Jonathan was selected for a season heavily themed around baseball; indeed, all students except one (who was chosen erroneously) were in some fashion connected to the school's baseball team. Jonathan was a relief pitcher, and joined up with his fellows to form an alliance referred to as "the Bullpen," which spent much of the season battling the cheerleaders, who united with more violent intentions. Jonathan was principled and dignified, striving to avoid violence but at the same time contributing tactically to his group. He served as moral support to the alliance's effective leader, and engineered an ambush that led to the deaths of most of the cheerleaders left by the late-game. Come Endgame, Jonathan was quickly knocked out of action by a heavy blow from a violent contestant who had been quietly eliminating others all game. The boy fought with Jonathan's last remaining ally, pausing at one point to execute Jonathan; amidst the chaos, however, the boy became confused and instead beat the corpse of one of his earlier victims, allowing Jonathan to recover and land a killing blow on him. Jonathan sat with his final ally and close friend until the boy passed away, leaving Jonathan the winner. He was fairly popular in this capacity, though he struggled greatly with guilt over the one killing he did commit. He slipped largely from the public eye, though does make occasional appearances on podcasts or interviews. Jonathan secured assistance to establish a number of scholarships in the names of his fallen friends, and works as an IT consultant. Jonathan has kept his private life quite secret, but he is sometimes seen attending professional baseball games alone.
Season 51-60 Winners
Name: Clara Hoffman
Season: Fifty-One
Kills: Two
Known Information: Clara Hoffman (known by her pre-transition name "Cedric" during the events of her season) was an artistic student who suffered a number of hardships, including the murder of her boyfriend and her own torture at the hands of a bigoted bully. Clara managed to work free of his clutches, then turned the tables on him, executing him after delivering a speech about the injustice of his ways. She allied with another student come Endgame, and together they were able to bring down the verion's biggest killer, though in doing so Clara's ally was mortally wounded. The pair spoke for a time, until the boy died, leaving Clara the sole survivor. She disappeared for a time after the conclusion of her season, conducting all business through her parents, but finally reemerged, having taken the interim time to travel and create artworks (often quite critical of SOTF). She also came out as transgender during this time. She currently works as an artist in New York, and is engaged.
Dylan Calloway (depicted in Facemaker)
Name: Dylan Calloway
Season: Fifty-Two
Kills: Four
Known Information: A largely moral winner, Dylan killed only one student in a cold-blooded manner. This was a player whom he beat to death with a toaster after hearing the boy brag about his crimes, particularly his rape and torture of several female students. Dylan's only serious injury was taken during the ensuing fight, when the larger student broke his nose. This fight, plus two of his other kills, secured his internet nickname, "Killer Toaster." Season Fifty-two has come under some criticism for its winner, since rather than hunting down the competition Dylan won by flying under the radar and focusing on long-term survival, staying healthy, conserving supplies and killing only when there was no other choice. When the final showdown came, he showed himself only a sole other survivor remained, and then easily killed the injured, malnourished and deranged player. Dylan has enjoyed his newfound wealth and celebrity status since the game, but is ambivalent towards SOTF-TV, and secretly finds it—plus fan reactions to his game—rather disturbing.
Name: Nawra Kassab
Season: Fifty-Three
Kills: Two
Known Information: A technically-adept and academically successful bass guitarist, Nawra was an assertive but morally-centered contestant. Linking up with another member of her band, Nawra gathered materials with an eye towards escaping the game. While the whole band eventually reunited, the lead guitarist had by this point killed, and split off soon after, unable to commit to a more pacifistic mode of play. Finally, the group completed their improvised blowtorch, and were able to deactivate two collars, but one member of the group went rogue when the device suffered technical difficulties, attacking the others and destroying their tool before Nawra shot him. Forced to continue through the game in the normal fashion, Nawra made it to Endgame, where in her final confrontation she outwitted her renegade guitarist, killing him. As the winner, Nawra reunited with her escaped friend, and the two have remained close ever since. Nawra faced some criticism from the fandom but has generally been a well-regarded winner, praised for her morality and tactical astuteness. Her engagement with SOTF has not much exceeded that needed to ensure a comfortable lifestyle, but has conducted herself well in her appearances.
Name: Stephanie Brooks
Season: Fifty-Four
Kills: Four
Known Information: Far and away the fan-favorite contestant in her season, Stephanie was a wrestler and boxer who rose admirably to the occasion. While she hid out for much of the first two days of the game, she exploded into prominence by subduing and killing a truly sadistic killer. Stephanie allied with a friend, who she shepherded and protected; while Stephanie was a competent combatant, her partner was prone to freezing up, and was uncomfortable with violence. Stephanie accounted for another kill on a notable player, and won a safe haven for herself and her partner by non-lethally defeating two other students. Following one more kill on a minor player, she found both herself and her ally in Endgame. Stephanie was able to deliver a mortal wound to one of the season's least popular villains, but in doing so sustained major injuries herself. While she seemed sure to die, the friend she had cared for all game killed himself, leaving Stephanie the sole survivor; she was extracted and quickly given medical treatment. Her recovery was long, and she had almost no interactions regarding the game, drifting into relative anonymity. She finally spoke up shortly following Season Sixty-Six, bluntly criticizing the show and blaming it for her friend's death. This complicated the reputation of an otherwise-popular winner; some fans were swayed by Stephanie's words, some viewed them as a betrayal, and many more wrote it off as trauma producing misguided commentary. Stephanie lives in Montreal, writes, and also works as an assistant wrestling trainer.
Name: Shun Young
Season: Fifty-Five
Kills: Three
Known Information: Shun, an agender occult enthusiast with a very dry sense of humor, was initially a background member of a group of outcasts. Shun's deadpan reactions, even to serious danger, endeared them to fans and helped keep their group calm. Later in the game, most of the group was killed in a firefight, though Shun was able to drive their assailants off with a grenade. Shun's facade finally cracked, and when their last remaining ally died from wounds received in the fight, Shun was left to enter Endgame alone. There, Shun faced off against the three students who had destroyed their group. Shun killed all three, two with a thrown grenade, and the last with a blast from a shotgun. Shun proved fairly popular with fans, being the subject of a number of memes. They moved away from their family and are now working part time and attending business school. They also founded a non-profit benefiting LGBTQ youth and made donations to the families of their fallen friends. While Shun's interviews are not overly frequent, they remain full of the same personality displayed during the season.
Name: Nick Woods
Season: Fifty-Seven
Kills: Five
Known Information: Nick, who had faced a notable amount of stigma and bullying as an openly gay boy at his all-boys school, found himself a target once more in SOTF. While he initially teamed up with other members of his social sphere, the alliance shattered under pressure, with Nick fleeing as a player attacked them. He was soon captured by one of his bullies and brutally tortured, losing his voice, though he managed to turn the tables and kill his assailant. From there, Nick played a fairly pragmatic game, seizing opportunities to steal supplies or land easy kills. During Endgame, Nick was badly injured by a grenade, and thought dead, but he survived and managed to catch the runner-up by surprise, slitting the boy's throat. Nick received a lukewarm reception as a winner at first, as his inability to speak for much of the game had left the audience little understanding of his motivations and thoughts to cling to. While he was witty and charming in his many appearances, he was also prone to attacking even minor critics. Nick now lives in Los Angeles, where he's known in the West Hollywood gay scene for holding wild, exclusive parties. He's developed something of a drug problem and is an unpredictable presence, often finding himself the target of tabloid rumors or else lashing out at other scene personalities.
Name: Adriana Elliot
Season: Fifty-Eight
Kills: Six
Known Information: Adriana was a shy goth musician who scored her first kill by letting her nerves get the best of her and shooting an effectively-unarmed girl. Following another kill, this one a legitimate case of self defense, Adriana decided to do whatever she had to in order to survive. She killed one of the last students without a kill to his name as he begged her for mercy, and in Endgame she brought down two of her competitors, one in an ambush and the other after a close firefight. Adriana was not an overly popular winner; her play was not considered particularly engaging, and another student had actually managed to escape during Endgame, much to Adriana's surprise, providing the public with a more popular survivor from the season. Adriana released a goth metal album called "Bloodstone" soon after her recovery, but it was reviewed poorly and did not sell well, ending her major label career almost as soon as it began. She now lives in Los Angeles, and continues to release music independently.
Name: n/a
Season: Sixty
Kills: n/a
Known Information: Due to severe flaws in the collars used in Season Sixty, the game came to a preemptive end and all twenty-nine remaining contestants were released. As such, this season had no winner, and this entry is included only for the sake of completeness. Information about the survivors of Season Sixty may be found here.
Season 61-66 Winners
Name: Danielle Austen
Season: Sixty-One
Kills: Four
Known Information: A confident girl who was jarred upon the death of her best friend, the second student of the season to fall, Danielle proved a winner willing to get her hands dirty but also quite aware of when discretion was advantageous. Particularly famous for her final battle, which took place in a heavily booby-trapped farmhouse prepared by another contestant, Danielle sustained severe injuries in securing her victory. Danielle fell into a coma soon after the game as the result of the massive punishment her body took, and to this day has not awakened, remaining on life support.
Name: Dexter Milton
Season: Sixty-Two
Kills: One
Known Information: Widely regarded as cowardly and lucky more than anything else, Dexter spent most of the game hiding out in the great hall of the wilderness preserve/campground in which his season took place. This strategy, which might have drawn punishment via Danger Zone assignment in any other season, was allowed to go largely unchecked as technical issues rendered audio from many other parts of the arena unusable, leading the producers to favor areas that produced usable footage. In Endgame, Dexter managed to score a kill on the runner up largely by chance, tripping as he backpedaled from the boys assault and crashing into him, half-intentionally stabbing him. While interest in his season has increased somewhat since, Dexter remains a generally unpopular winner and has not been in the spotlight to a notable extent.
Name: Dwight Lau
Season: Sixty-Three
Kills: Two
Known Information: A member of his school's student council, Dwight teamed up with his fellow council-members to form the most influential group of the season, though he was more a voice of moderation than a standout figure. Following the death of the group's leader, the council descended into chaos, and a fierce firefight left Dwight—the only one not to turn to physical force, instead diving for cover—the sole survivor. Dwight made it to Endgame on his own, picking up a kill in the process, and formed an alliance of convenience with another member of the final three to tackle the most dangerous remaining player. Dwight was wounded, losing two fingers, but his ally emerged triumphant, then turned to finish off Dwight off. The pair shot each other at the same time, but Dwight's aim was better, and he was quickly extracted from the arena. While opinions of Dwight have been trending more to the positive, some fans still resent that he came out ahead of a vast number of more popular or iconic contestants from the season.
Name: Chelo Garcia-Alcado
Season: Sixty-Four
Kills: Three
Known Information: An intelligent contestant who spent most of the game alone, Chelo did have a few shining moments, including dropping a boat on a pursuing player who was hunting her in a drydock. By and large, however, she was a bit of a nonentity except when others forced her to react. In Endgame, Chelo coasted under the radar yet again, ambushing the last two other surviving students and shooting them while they were distracted with each other. Considered a decent but unexceptional winner, the recent nature of Chelo's victory has left little time for lasting impressions of her to develop, though by Season Sixty-Five she had already fallen largely out of conversation.
Mason Ross as interpreted by Little Boy
Name: Mason Ross
Season: Sixty-Five
Kills: Four
Known Information: Season Sixty-Five's more traditional winner, Mason Ross spent much of his game a member of various alliances, but his friends tended to meet sudden and unfortunate ends (most infamously when one of his teammates, with whom he'd traveled since the start of the game, had his collar accidentally detonated due to a technical error). Mason slowly attained greater prominence, notably becoming the only person to that point to have a nonviolent encounter with Karen Ruiz and later teaming up with some of the season's most popular and notable figures. Prior to Endgame, Mason had but a single kill to his name—a member of his own team who had gone off the deep end and presented a threat to Mason's chosen allies. Mason entered the finals with two surviving members of his group at his side, and over the course of Endgame was instrumental in killing both a girl who had lashed out and killed one of Mason's allies out of fear and poor judgment and the most violent remaining player. This latter endeavor, however, cost the life of one of Mason's allies, leaving only he and fan-favorite Shawn Morrison standing. Mason and Shawn decided to determine the survivor by chance; Mason won the toss and killed Shawn. After the show, Mason conducted a number of interviews. He briefly considered and pursued some measure of revenge upon his co-winner, but ultimately buried the hatchet. In Season Sixty-Six, Mason returned to SOTF as a mentor, helming the Golden Hyenas.
Karen as interpreted by Frogue
Name: Karen Ruiz
Season: Sixty-Five
Kills: Ten
Known Information: Karen did not win through the typical fashion (surviving until nobody else is left), but rather through a special rule introduced in Season Sixty-Five, which promised freedom to anyone who could attain ten kills. Karen was notable in part for her complete disregard for teamwork, as she ignored or attacked her assigned allies in the game. She followed a very simple strategy, primarily ambushing people and attempting to shoot them before they could offer effective resistance, with her more notable fights coming largely as a result of failure to properly execute her plan. Quiet and reserved, Karen rarely bothered to justify her actions or interact with the other students in a non-violent fashion, though a notable exception was found in eventual co-winner Mason Ross, who Karen briefly conversed with. Her striking attire and heavy focus on survival left Karen an iconic figure of the season, an impression furthered when it became clear following her release that there was little to no element of affectation to her demeanor. Karen embraced the marketing and potential for profit that came with her newfound status to an extent, rejecting an opportunity to take a stand against SOTF despite her distaste for the show, but quickly began scaling back her direct personal involvement where possible. When not on some sort of SOTF business, Karen lives a modest and largely anonymous life in Southern California.
Corin as interpreted by diseasedbear
Name: Corin Albanesi
Season: Sixty-Six
Kills: Four
Known Information: A difficult winner to categorize, Corin kept himself on guard even when he was with those who were ostensibly his allies, quickly abandoning situations in which he felt uncomfortable. Fairly early in the season, Corin ended up in a firefight with another student, sparked when Corin accidentally opened fire due to poor trigger discipline; Corin ended up the victor, scoring his first kill of the season in something neither active playing nor clear-cut self defense. Corin's mid-game was comprised of a series of brief meetings and near-misses, as his mental state took a hit from guilt over the deaths of some of his allies. Corin finally ended up grouping with one of the season's more unhinged contestants, a girl who, though she had not killed, had a tendency to drink blood and dissociate from reality. Initially trying to see the decency in her, Corin eventually ended up viewing her as both reprehensible and a threat, and abandoned her. Shortly before the finals, Corin ended up in a firefight with Yagmur Tekindor, the eventual runner-up; over the course of the combat, both Corin and Yagmur lost their remaining allies, each responsible to an extent for the other's loss. They formed a sort of bond over this, and their mutual distaste for the girl Corin had once traveled with, and this carried into Endgame. Ultimately, Corin shot the girl, then engaged in a final firefight with Yagmur. While very back and forth, Corin emerged victorious, though badly injured.
Jewel as interpreted by Frogue
Name: Jewel Evans
Season: Sixty-Six
Kills: Ten
Known Information:Jewel Evans was the other winner of Season Sixty-Six, released for attaining ten kills. A huge fan of SOTF (and in particular villains), Jewel was the first and most prolific killer in the season, though her tactics were often questionable at best. Jewel alienated and antagonized almost everyone she encountered, leaving a string of students seeking revenge upon her. When it came to killing, she largely targeted students not from her school; of her ten kills, only two were her classmates, and one of these was by that classmate's request. Jewel's erratic behavior, combined with her steadfast refusal to discuss her motivations, led to much debate, with many maintaining she was suffering from some sort of psychotic break, likely including hallucinations. Others, however, contend that her play was largely calculated to some end or other. In any event, after attaining her ninth kill, a wounded Jewel gave her best weapon to a friend from school and stalked through the condominiums trashing them; in doing so she encountered a student who she had mocked and goaded earlier in the game, who crushed her knee with a metal bar. Crippled and poorly equipped, Jewel's potential seemed largely spent, but one of her classmates encountered her and asked Jewel to kill her. While Jewel initially refused, she ultimately granted the request, scoring a tenth kill and thus her release.
