[edit] Andy & Tally
Andy, played by James Ordish, and Tally, played by Amelia Reynolds, are twins on the television series The Tribe. They are Ned’s younger brother and sister and were members of the Mall Rats for a little while. They appear in episodes 318 - 352. According to the official site, Andy is quite an entrepreneur. He is always looking out for a good deal or to make a profit, even if this is by tricking someone in a scam. Deep down, he is a good person that cares immensely for Ned and Tally and will do what he can to try to make the New World order a good one.[59] Like Andy, Tally is very smart and quick to recognize any opportunities that might benefit her, especially from a financial perspective. She may seem shrewd and selfish but she can also be sensitive and sympathetic to others in need, and seeing this kind side of her often surprises others.[60] Series 3: After the Virus killed all the adults, Andy, Tally and Ned did not join any Tribe and made their living by trading people for food. They capture Pride and try to sell him to the Chosen but they all end up getting taken to the Mall where they are forced to do slave labor. At first, Andy and Tally are disliked by the Mall Rats as they refuse to do any work and steal other people’s belongings. But quickly, the twins befriend KC, who becomes a bit of a role model in the art of scam. In their own way, they try to help the rebels against the Chosen, but they never fully become members of the Mall Rats. When their older brother Ned is killed by The Guardian they are both distraught and they distance themselves from the other Mall Rats even more. Series 4: Andy and Tally are both taken prisoners when the Technos invade and are never heard from again. [edit] Bray
A handsome, confidently cool, enigmatic young man. A natural loner, content with his own company, Bray is an experienced eco-warrior and activist. In the beginning of the Series, he asks to join the Mallrats as he is trying to find a safe place for Trudy to deliver her baby. He distrusts all leaders and initially refused to assume his natural role within the group. On the surface Bray is very sure of himself, inside he's a turmoil of emotions due to his suspicion of the others. Tall, well built, Bray can handle himself, but whether he can match the manic ferocity of his rival, Lex, is in doubt. Trudy, Salene, Danni, Ebony, and Amber all have feelings for Bray at some point. Bray disappeared when the Technos invaded, which was also when his son was being born. He was captured outside the barn in which Amber was giving birth to the baby. Bray was last seen unconscious in one of the Technos' pick up trucks.[61] He never saw his son, whom Amber named after him. It was mentioned that he was killed or 'deleted' in 5, but it was also mentioned that he was alive and well. However his current whereabouts are unknown. He is also the brother of Zoot. [edit] Cloe
Cloe, played by Jaimee Kaire Gataulu, is one of the original members of the Mall Rats on the television series The Tribe. She appears in episodes 101 - 312, 349 - 435. According to the Official Site, Cloe is a slightly withdrawn loner who initially relates better to animals than to people. Not very practical in other ways, she can be a source of irritation to the others by neglecting her duties to deal with her own crises, of which there seem to be many. But her moans and melodrama are often no more than a source of refuge from the alien, dangerous world outside, and her fears for the future.[62] Series 1: Cloe is rescued by Amber and Dal and, together, they take refuge in the Mall. She quickly befriends Patsy and her twin brother Paul. As one of the youngest member of the Mall Rats she struggles with her new life without any adults. She often looks for motherly comfort with Salene and Amber. While Patsy has her brother, Cloe feels she has no one to count on. She finds a calf that she names Bluebell and starts spending more time with her than with the Tribe. When Lex threatens to eat Bluebell, Cloe tries to free her but ends up getting lost. She is rescued by Tai-San and brings her back to the Mall. Cloe consoles her best friend Patsy when Paul disappears. She promises her they will always have each other. When Amber leaves the Mall with Sasha and Salene starts suffering from bulimia, Cloe feels abandoned. She finds some stolen bottles of water in Bray’s room and feels conflicted between her affection for Bray and his betrayal, still Bray is proven innocent. When Patsy brings back a contaminated Glenn to the Mall, Cloe must reassure her she isn’t guilty of bringing the Virus inside. They promise each other they will beat the Virus together. When the Tribe Circus invades the Mall, Cloe and Patsy decide they aren’t children anymore and they fight alongside the other Mall Rats. After the Mall Rats trek to Eagle Mountain and find no antidote, Cloe and Patsy are afraid they’ll be left alone but Salene and Ryan promise them they are a family now. Series 2: After Tai-San finds the formula, Cloe helps the Mall Rats with the distribution of the antidote. Brady is kidnapped under Patsy’s surveillance and Trudy is furious at her. Cloe is worried after Patsy goes missing and blames the other Mall Rats for not looking for her. Ebony and her troops finally find Patsy and Cloe tries to reassure Patsy and promises they will find Brady. After their dog Bob is killed with poison, Cloe and Patsy feel all alone again and distance themselves from the Mall Rats. They think the others do not take them seriously and, for a short period, they decide to form their own Tribe, the C & P Tribe. When Trudy comes back to the Mall with Brady, Patsy feels so guilty she starts spending all her time with Trudy. Cloe feels abandoned once more, as she was when her parents died. She is the only one who realizes Trudy has changed and tries to warn everyone. After Cloe notices Brady is not the real Brady, Trudy threatens her and Cloe is afraid. After Trudy reveals she has become a Chosen, Patsy apologizes to Cloe and the two make up. Series 3: After the Mall is invaded, Cloe agrees to join the Chosen in order to spy on them for the Mall Rats. She wants to help defeat the people who have taken her home from her but is caught spying and sent to work in the mines. She is freed later in Series 3, when the Rebels defeat the Chosen. She encounters Jack and together they go back to the Mall. She learns Patsy was sent to the mines as well but that no one has heard from her since. During her captivity Cloe has grown up a lot and is much more self-confident. KC seems to notice the change and starts to have a crush on her. Series 4: When Cloe sees the Technos’ plane, she thinks the adults have returned and is relieved. But when they invade the Mall and start kidnapping all the Mall Rats, Cloe hides under her bed. The other Mall Rats return and she tells them what happened. They all decide to confront the Technos but their technology is too advanced and the Mall Rats have to surrender. Cloe becomes moody and refuses to help out at the Mall. She develops a crush on the much older Pride and is hurt when she finds out he doesn’t reciprocate her feelings. Cloe soon starts a relationship with the Techno Ved. Although Ved often treats her badly and everyone advises her to stop seeing him, she falls in love with him. When she thinks she is pregnant, Ved breaks up with her. After Amber asks for her help she agrees to use Ved to find information on the Technos. Ved realizes Cloe used him but he has begun to care deeply about her and forgives her. Cloe trusts Ved when he offers her to enter Ram’s new virtual reality game but she goes missing in the game. Ved questions Ram about Cloe but Ram refuses to give her back and she is never heard from again. [edit] Dal
Dal, portrayed by Ashwath Sundarasen, is one of the original members of the Mall Rats on the television series The Tribe. He appears in episodes 101 – 311. The official site describes Dal as immensely sensible and practical. He is a down-to-earth jack-of-all-trades handyman, who comes into his own in this new world through his innate ability to scavenge useful bits and pieces. Series 1: At the beginning of the Series, Dal is planning to leave the City to set up a farm away from chaos with Amber, who lived in the same neighbourhood as Dal before the Virus. They both end up taking refuge in the Mall and decide to stay. Dal’s little knowledge of medicine (his parents were both doctors) proves useful when he has to go look for antibiotics for a sick Trudy. He develops a strong friendship with Jack and together they work on connecting up the water tank to the Mall downstairs and invent a water purification system. They also rig up an intercom with noises that will scare off intruders and create a wind turbine that allows them to exchange power batteries for food. Dal often argues with Jack who is often reluctant to admit Dal is essential to his work and shows little interest in the well-being of others. After Trudy makes a suicide attempt, Dal nurses her back to health and grows closer to her. Dal admits to her he still wants to go live in the country someday and when Trudy confesses she hates the Mall, they both agree to leave the Mall Rats. They encounter the Nomads, who seem to be a friendly Tribe at first, but after Trudy leaves their camp to go back to Brady, they take Dal prisoner and reveal themselves to be slave traders. Dal is freed from the Nomads by the Mall Rats at a Tribal Gathering and is delighted to rejoin them. Dal helps find information that lead the Mall Rats to search a government building on Eagle Mountain for an antidote against the new Virus. Series 2: On Eagle Mountain, Jack and Dal discover the location of government buildings where the antidote’s formula might be found. After Lex, Ebony and Tai-San find a new antidote, Dal helps Jack work on discovering its composition but fails to do so before Lex drinks the last drop. After Jack starts obsessing about the new girl, Ellie, Dal feels like he isn’t needed at the Mall anymore and starts spending more time at Alice’s Farm. He gathers volunteers from the City to work on the land and provides fresh food to the Mall Rats. After Ellie helps him deliver a baby lamb at the Farm, Dal starts having feelings for her. Jack becomes insanely jealous and this creates a rift between the two friends. They repair their friendship after Dal realizes Ellie only loves Jack. After the City discovers the Mall Rats have lied and they don’t need the antidote anymore, the Farm’s workers rebel against Dal who ends up all alone. He tries to recruit other Mall Rats to help him but the Farm’s resources start diminishing. While spending the night alone at the Farm, Dal is confronted by the Chosen, who scare him off. He runs back to the Mall and tells of his mysterious encounter. He agrees to help Jack spy on Ebony for the Mall Rats after Jack begs him to. Dal is relieved to see Trudy come back several months after having been kidnapped by the Chosen but fails to notice she has changed. The Mall Rats are unable to prevent the Chosen from invading the City and Dal is made prisoner along with the others. Series 3: After the Chosen invade the Mall and Jack is taken away, Dal is chosen to witness Bray’s execution. They are both rescued by Lex and Ebony and a stranger called Pride who brings them back to his Tribe, the Ecos. When Dal arrives at their camp he is startled and relieved to see Amber is alive. He learns she is now their leader and calls herself Eagle. Dal is disappointed Amber didn’t let him know she was alive but quickly forgives her when she agrees to join them to defeat the Chosen. Dal helps in a rescue mission but fails to free the other Mall Rats. After May betrays the rebels to the Chosen, they walk into a trap and Dal is killed after accidentally falling down several storeys. He is buried by the Mall Rats on top of a mountain overlooking the City. [edit] Danni
Danni and Bray meet after the tragedy at Eagle Mountain. Bray invites Danni to the Mall and, although she is never officially voted in, she becomes part of the Mall Rats. Danni wants to distribute the newly found antidote amongst the city and she wants to bring peace and order to the tribe. During her stay with the Mall Rats it is revealed that Danni's father created the virus that wiped out the adults. After the beginning of series 3, after the Chosen have invaded, Danni is never seen again. Many believe that the Tribe leaders are kept apart from the others and this is where Danni is, but the Guardian makes it clear that Danni is no longer alive when he tells Bray that his vision has "cost him the lives of the two women he loved." [edit] Darryl
Darryl, played by Joseph Crawford, is recruited by Mega as Zoot’s look-alike on the television series The Tribe. He appears in episodes 508 – 552. On the official site, Darryl is described as a friendly enough person, very human and quite vulnerable. He appears vain at times but this can probably be attributed to a lack of self confidence. He is easily swayed by compliments and is deeply hurt by rejection. He longs to be popular and successful, but does not really have a clue about how he will achieve this. Darryl is easily impressed and led, particularly by seemingly strong characters such as Lex, who to an extent, preys on Darryl's naivety. Series 5: Darryl works in the Casino when he is found by Mega, who then uses him as a Zoot impersonator, thanks to his striking resemblance to Zoot. After Mega succeeds in scaring most of the City into submission he shoots Darryl and leaves him for dead. Darryl is found and taken care of by Slade, who leads him out of the City to Liberty. There, Darryl becomes part of the resistance and helps Lex run his illegal Virtual Casino in Ruby's Saloon. He takes part in the liberation of the City and ends up living at the Mall and joining the Mall Rats. At the end of the Series, Darryl flees the City on a boat with the other Mall Rats, after a new Virus is released. [edit] Dee
Dee is originally part of the Mozzies, though she is only seen at the beginning of series 4, when she takes the place of Moz as spokeswoman for that tribe. With her bright pink hair and English accent, she stands out from the other characters. She challenges the invading Technos, and her tribe is taken away. Rescued by Jack and Ellie, Dee stays with the Mallrats and becomes Lex's assistant sheriff, as the Mozzies had been working with him before they were taken away. As the series continues, Dee falls in love with Pride's friend Patch, a computer nerd and they both leave the city to be together just before Season 5. [edit] Ebony
Conniving and brutal, Ebony is the most ruthless of characters and the least likely to show kindness. She is inwardly consumed by power - the only kind of security she knows - and stops at nothing to acquire it. Only out for herself, she is willing to hurt, even to murder, people who stand in her way. Aware of her fine looks and feminine charms, she understands the game of seduction and allure and uses it to her advantage. Terrified of showing weakness or losing control, Ebony has built a wall of confidence, cruelty and constraint around her that hides her deep-seated fears and insecurities. Struggling to open up to anyone, Ebony claims that friendship is "for losers" and "dead". She feels - sometimes clearly due to skewed perceptions, but usually justifiably - that everyone she has ever trusted has abandoned or betrayed her. While not much about her background is known, it seems evident that her complete mistrust of people stems at least partly from her family. Ebony is exceptionally calculating and cunning, and puts her cleverness to good use. A perfect actress, she loves to manipulate - an exercise of power and control. There's always an intrigue she's working on or a hidden agenda that needs pondering. She is nimble and knows the city and its people well. Although perceived as despotic at times, she has excellent leadership skills and can convince anyone with her rousing speeches. Her tone is often sarcastic and subtly insulting, but she can also be aggressively blunt. However, every once in a while she shakes up the screen with a dazzling moment of freshness and ingenuous playfulness, as though she had just remembered that she is, after all, still a teenager. [edit] Ellie
Ellie is Alice's younger sister, an original member of the Farm Girls who preferred living on the countryside to living in the city. She contracted the virus when she went to the city, got sick, and the plot of the show led to her and Alice moving into the Mall. Pretty, innocent and guideless, Ellie is naive, emotional and falls in love with Jack, the resident computer nerd. Through many ups and downs, she leaves Jack for Luke, then when he leaves she is emotionally distraught, finding comfort in Jack. When Jack is taken away by the Technos in series 4, Ellie kind of goes crazy, tries to kill Ebony and is taken away by the Technos. She returns in series 5 with no memory of her previous life. Java takes advantage of the fact that Ellie doesn't remember anything, but is still trusted amongst the Mall Rats. Java helps Ellie remember her love for Jack and then sends her to the Mall with a bomb in her bag, hoping the Mall Rats could be finished with that. Luckily for the Mall Rats, Jack realizes what's inside the bag and gets rid of the bomb just on time. Jack's love for Ellie hasn't faded, and soon the two are together again. Ellie is against the Techos and Mega, and therefore helps Jack to come up with a plot to make Jack a trusted member of Mega's team. The plot includes Jack torturing Ellie with the new punishment game, which is faked. However, Ellie manages to act so genuinely being hurt, that even her Mall Rats friends believe it. This makes Mega convinced that Jack is on his side, which later turns out to be one of the things that made him lose his power and control. [edit] Gel
Gel's life motto is "Girls just wanna have fun". Utterly unconcerned with the political ongoings and power struggles around her, her life revolves around such trivial matters as fashion and gossiping about possible love affairs. Thoughtless and often insensitive, the other characters have little patience with her, and find her both annoying and childish. Gel is a born follower, who has never truly learned to take care of herself. She constantly needs somebody to remind her of her duties and to look after her so she doesn't get into scrapes. Fascinated by the idea of being considered "hip" and desirable, Gel spends hours doing her makeup and hair. When she notices that Sammy has a crush on her, Gel begins ordering him around and making him take care of the things she's too busy to do. She then becomes fixated on the idea of Lex and her as a couple, and follows him around wherever he goes, flirting and trying to trick him into dating her. When he kisses her and tries to go “too far”, Gel grows dismissive and confused. Gel is also an ex-member of a tribe called The Modes and she is captured by the Technos. [edit] The Guardian / Jaffa
The Guardian is the misguided dictator of the Chosen who, due to Tai-San's feminine charms, goes insane and is defeated. He later warns Lex of the coming of the Technos. He escapes, kidnapping Luke in the process, headed toward an island for all "believers". In series 5, he is seen on an island with KC and Alice. He apparently has lost his mind. [edit] Jack
Jack has always been a curious character. From an early age he preferred to make and invent things rather than spend time couped up in a classroom learning facts and figures. Jack is the first Mall Rat to claim the Phoenix Shopping Mall as a suitable homely location, since his father had owned the electric shop. His father had taught him how to survive and had told him to come here after he was gone.[65] Jack is a somewhat cocky geek, who fully commits himself to finding solutions for the Mall Rats’ lack of fresh water and electricity. He forges a strong friendship with Dal, who helps him construct a basic power generator to recharge batteries as well as water pipes from the roof tank directly into the Mall. He believes devoutly and staunchly that science is the only solution to their problems, and frequently gets into arguments about the futility of ‘spiritual guidance’ with the other Mall Rats, particularly Tai-San. Although his abilities are highly valued within the group, Jack’s sarcastic, wry sense of humor and enthusiasm for scientific matters seems, while not exactly off-putting, rather peculiar to the Mall Rats. He stays an outsider, usually opting to work on his inventions rather than to socialize with fellow tribe members. However, his personality starts to change as soon as Ellie, an aspiring journalist, is accepted into the tribe. Jack has finally found someone who shares his curiosity and obsession about the virus, and they research the matter to write about it in Ellie’s paper. Both are attracted to each other, and, even though it takes some time, they eventually end up together. Jack starts to soften, to care more for his appearance and be less solitary. He then gets captured by the Chosen and put to work. When he comes back to the Mall, his best friend Dal has died and Ellie has started dating Luke. His old life seems disrupted, and he decides to go off to live by himself without a tribe. It is only by chance that he is flushed back to the city, and makes up with Ellie before he is deported by the Technos. When he is released and returns to the city, Jack has changed. He is not the self-seeking, sneering kid he used to be, and starts taking responsibility for those younger or weaker than him. He is now an integral part of the Mall Rats, and his days of proud solitude are over. He and Ellie become sexually active, and experience the complications of a relationship between two maturing teenagers that have been romantically involved for years. When the dictator-like leader Mega hears of Jack’s technical abilities, he employs him to develop a virtual reality punishment program for people not abiding by the laws he has introduced. Jack is flattered, but is stuck in a predicament. In the end, he decides that he doesn’t want to assist the Techno leader in his quest to torture and brainwash people. He tricks Mega with a fake scenario in which Ellie is supposedly tortured. Risking his life to abscond with stolen data from Mega’s computer, he joins the resistance movement in Liberty to bring Mega down. There is no doubt that, at the end of series 5, Jack has grown up. [edit] Java
As one of Ram's "girls", Java exercises great influence within the Technos. She is loyal and protective of Ram, appreciating all he has done for her. Java is also respected on her own merits - she has excellent computer skills but is mostly admired (and feared) as a ruthless warrior with great fighting skills. This has led Java to accompany Jay on many ground operations - and she has developed quite an attraction for Jay. Java is both Ebony and Siva's older sister, she is very protective and fond of Siva but loathes Ebony for reasons unknown which stem from their past. Java and Ebony's mutual hatred for each other reaches a climax when Java in an attempt to kill Ebony, accidentally shoots and kills Siva. Ebony retaliates by killing Java. [edit] Jay
Jay is the general of the Technos and is renowned and respected for his brilliant strategies and practical thinking. He supervises all security matters for the Technos and ground operations in the city. Jay hopes the Technos can use their technical expertise and skills to build a better world and his relationship with Ram is sometimes marked with tension as Jay senses Ram's ultimate vision may be different from his own. In series 5, he looks for his brother Ved, but he never seems to find him. [edit] KC
KC snuck into the mall and robbed goods from everyone. He was caught by Lex and was given a trial. He was proved innocent and chose to become a Mall Rat. Lex started to like his style in theft and scams. He becomes friends with Lex, who gives him the feeling that he is also a good fighter. KC starts to see Lex as an elder brother. KC cannot read and, like Lex, he refuses to do housework or learn anything. Always scheming, KC convinces the Guardian he has seen Zoot and becomes his oracle. He disappears with the others when the Technos invade. KC is seen at the end of series 5, on some unknown island. He, along with Alice, the Guardian and other people, is held prisoner in a cage. [edit] Lex
An arrogant, tough street-fighter, Lex is a seemingly heartless character. He bullies anyone younger or weaker than him, and is not disinclined to use physical force to get what he wants. Very sexually driven, he seems to have an insatiable appetite for, as Ebony snarkily states, “everything female with a pulse”. He indeed has 'tried his luck' with around every main female character appearing in the show, sometimes even while he still has another girlfriend. At the age of 17, he has married and lost both his wife Zandra and his unborn baby to an explosion. In his grief he starts to drink, and struggles with alcohol abuse in the series 2. Despite his macho attitude, he has, locked away and safely guarded, many insecurities that stem both from his background (his father is said to have been an alcoholic) and his lack of education – he is illiterate, and never exceeds an elementary reading level even though he tries to improve his skills more than once. In series 3, he gets married to Tai-San, but is separated from her when the Technos come. When Tai-San comes back for a short while, Lex becomes very confused because he has already got a new girlfriend, Siva. Lex always seeks profit for himself, even if it means betraying his tribe. It is not surprising then that he never fully earns the trust of the Mall Rats. Lex is frequently condescending to his one loyal friend, Ryan, and treats his girlfriends badly, cheating on them and attempting to rape both Zandra and Salene. However, he has also saved the Mall Rats’ lives on more than one occasion and has been a key figure in all resistance movements. Protective of those he loves, he is usually willing to fight and stand up for his tribe. A deeply flawed, and at times even abhorrent, character, he nevertheless somehow manages to end up someplace good with his charm, street-wisdom and, every once in a while, the decision to do something not only for his own sake. He even goes so far as to become town sheriff for awhile. Lex has starred in the most episodes, 258 out of 260. The episode he is absent from is the flashback episode in Series 2 which detailed Bray, Trudy, Ebony and Zoot's past together before the Virus,[66] and the episode after Ryan kicked him out of the Mall, also during season 2. [edit] Luke
On the outside, Luke is the Guardian's deputy - it is he who disciplines the Chosen and carries out the Guardian's orders. He is also one of Ebony's guards in the first season, the one who speaks to KC, Amber and Bray, in the episode where Glenn dies. A believer in order and stability, Luke genuinely feels the new world can be made in a good and positive way by "power and chaos" - but deep down, Luke has doubts about the Guardian's extremism and fanaticism. He falls in love with Ellie, and convinces her that he is good natured. She eventually accepts him and dumps Jack. Ebony convinces him he will never be free from his old ways, and he decides to leave the mall. Before he can leave, he is kidnapped by the Guardian, who offers to take him to an island for all "believers". Just as he offers, the Techno's plane flies overhead, announcing their invasion. He is never seen again, and may very well have accepted the Guardian's offer. [edit] May
We first meet May in series 2 when she has a brief interlude with Lex, out on the streets. When we see her again she stays with the Mall Rats, after rescuing Salene from The Smile, and then returns in series 3 as a full fledged tribe member. In series 3, when The Chosen take over the city and the Mall, May joins them, hoping it would give her an advantage. She tries to encourage Salene to join the Chosen too, to give her unborn baby a better chance at life. The other Mall Rats all think that she is a traitor and is very selfish but they don't realize that she is actually thinking of Salene's baby, and eventually she helps out the rebels (Bray, Amber, Dal et al.) to take back the city and the Mall. During this time May develops a crush on newcomer Pride from the Eco-Tribe who is helping the rebels, and when he gets captured and placed in the Mall, she becomes his only friend. After The Chosen are defeated May continues to pursue Pride, and eventually she can't take any more and tells him how she feels. They quickly became an item, to May's delight, but Pride seems more distracted by Amber's kidnapping. May dumps him and then nearly leaves the city, but she is stopped by a sorry Pride, who then declares his love for her. Their romance is short lived due to May's abduction at the beginning of series 4. May then returns at the end of series 4. She is first seen in a virtual reality show, and then later she stumbles back into the Mall. She suffers from Reality Space sickness for a while and she tries to get her relationship back with Pride but he makes it clear he is in love with Salene. In series 5, May feels so lonely and out of place that she collaborates with Mega and The Technos. She spies on her fellow Mall Rats, but she never does any major harm. A few episodes later, May witnesses the death of her beloved Pride after a plan to kidnap Salene goes wrong. May and Salene share the same sadness and Salene forgives May. Being her only friend, May turned to Salene and in their grief they share a kiss, but nothing comes of it. At the end of series 5, May is able to get a boat from one of her old contacts, and the Mall Rats sail away. May's personality changes throughout the series. When she first appears she has survivor instincts and seems very selfish and harsh. But when she starts to settle into her new home, her softer and fun side comes out. May is in fact caring and sensitive, and she is very insecure. She tends to keep a hard barrier up, pretending to be stronger than what she really is just to hide her desire for love. Inside she craves to be loved and wanted, and has proved throughout the seasons that she will resort to anything to gain attention and affection. Sometimes she is almost desperate for a friend but tries her best not to show it. [edit] Mega / Josh
When he first appears in the series, Mega is just an ordinary Techno, who is quite clever and knows a lot about computers. When Ram disappears, he makes himself the leader of the Technos and creates a picture of Zoot, to more easily influence the people in the city with technology. By the end of series 5, he becomes more and more fanatic (just like the Guardian). It is revealed towards the end of series 5 that Mega's real name is Josh, and that he is the younger brother of Slade. [edit] Mouse
Mouse's best friend is Sammy. They both find a new home in the Mall, when the Technos come to the town. They like to blow things up and play tricks on the other people living in the Mall, especially Jack, whose inventions seem to have a great effect on the children. When the city gets too dangerous, Salene accompanies Mouse to go live with the Eco tribe. Mouse is accepted by her new tribe. Her brother was Charlie, who disappeared due to the Technos. [edit] Ned
Larger than life, Ned is intelligent and possesses a sharp wit which can make others laugh - or cry out in anger if Ned irritates them (which he often does). Stubborn and headstrong, Ned will seldom back down and always wants his way. Ned has a softer side beneath the rough exterior however - he cares deeply for Alice. However, he becomes angry about the Mall Rats’ decision to no try the Guardian. He kidnaps Trudy and Amber, and leaves ransom notes demanding the exchange of the Guardian. Ebony catches Ned and eventually gets Ned killed by the Guardian as part of an elaborate plan to become the leader of the city. [edit] Patch
A friend to Pride, he falls in love with Dee. He helps Amber break into the Citynet, after the Technos took his two little brothers. After becoming head physician at the hospital, he is kidnapped by Java and held to help heal Ram. When the players attack the mall, looking for Jay, Patch confesses his love to Dee. With the Techno threat seemingly removed, Patch and Dee leave the city to find his brothers. [edit] Patsy
At the start of the series, Patsy had a deaf brother named Paul. He disappeared mid-season, and Patsy blames Lex for his disappearance. Together with Cloe, Paul and Salene, Patsy owns a dog named Bob who dies in series 2 after eating poison intended for Tai-San. After Bob's death, Cloe and Patsy are very distraught, but soon find a new dog they name Cloudy. While frustrated with the rest of the tribe, Cloe and Patsy briefly form the C&P Tribe, but quickly return to being Mall Rats Patsy becomes Brady's babysitter until, while Patsy was supposed to be watching her, Brady is kidnapped by the Chosen. Trudy becomes infuriated with Patsy, and Patsy can't help but blame herself. When Trudy returns, she uses Patsy's guilt to recruit her to help bring the Mall Rats to the Chosen. Cloe becomes jealous the two former friends argue. In series 3, Patsy joins the Chosen to spy on them for Alice and Ellie. She is caught and sent to the mines. Many think she is killed but in an interview viewers were told that she is still alive. [edit] Pride
A prominent member of the "eco-tribe", Pride is shy, reserved and polite. He lives by a code of conduct, means no harm to others and has an affinity with nature. But if necessary Pride will take action and be forthright without hesitation to defend what he feels is right. Is his future in the city or back in the countryside? He has deep feelings for Amber - but might he settle down with someone else? He forms a relationship with May, but soon there after, she is abducted by the Technos. He is suspected of attempting to murder Ebony, and is put in the cage. After being released, he forms a relationship with Salene. The Technos force him into Reality Space, and he develops Reality Sickness. He later becomes addicted the game. Lex realizes and approaches him about his addiction, but Pride only threatens Lex. Pride is forced to admit he has a problem after Mouse finds him and May in Reality Space. He defeats Jay in the game, and almost defeats him in life, only to come to the sudden realization that he has a problem. Following the demise of the Technos, Pride goes searching for Salene, who had been kidnapped by two Techno guards in order to bring back Ram. He is tragically killed in series 5 by Wizard, a member of the Technos after overhearing May say that they should kill Salene. [edit] Ram
Eccentric and brilliant in equal measure - Ram is the undisputed leader of the Technos. A childhood prodigy, everyone recognizes Ram as a visionary and genius, none more than himself. With his disability (paralysis from the waist down) he faces challenges. He is also a hypochondriac, suffers from Mysophobia, a little paranoid, and has an explosive temper but his followers believe these are outweighed by his mathematical, technical and computer skills. He is ruthless but rewards loyalty and performance. Ram has a dream which he is determined to realize, but will it turn into a nightmare for everyone else? When Ram first shows up in Liberty, he claims his name is Gabe, short for Gabriel (season 5, episode 5). During season five, viewers see Ram go under a character transplant as he helps those who were once classed as his enemies. [edit] Ruby
Ruby runs the Saloon in Liberty. Ruby is independent, quick-witted, humorous, inventive, shrewd and resourceful. She has a whiplash turn of phrase that can cut any fool down to size. However if that doesn't work she's not afraid to back up an argument with her fist. Cross Ruby at your peril. She also has the tenacity of a terrier and a strong sense of "right". She loves language and her cryptic lateral thinking mind has developed a love for crossword puzzles. Although Ruby is certainly resourceful and capable, for all that confidence she still has a vulnerability and is sensitive to other people's needs as well as to her own. [edit] Ryan
Ryan is one of the first members of the Mall Rats. He arrives there with Zandra and Lex. He is always bullied around by Lex, but also falls in love with Zandra despite his shyness. However, Zandra eventually tells him that she will marry Lex. Later on, he falls in love with Salene and when she falls pregnant, she becomes a Chosen, while Ryan remains a Mall Rat. When he hears that he will never see his beloved child, he becomes furious and attacks the Guardian. Ryan gets caught and taken away. The Guardian calls for his death, but Luke (still looking out for Salene) persuades the Guardian to let Ryan live, making him a slave in the mines. Salene attempts to find him in series 4, but never does. It was rumored Ryan would have made a return in the unconfirmed series 6. [edit] Salene
At the beginning, Salene arrives with Cloe, Patsy and Paul at the Mall. There, she falls in love with Bray, and they even kiss each other, but Bray finally chooses Amber. Salene is suffering from depression and self esteem issues which result in bulimia. Only by turning to Trudy and Ryan does she eventually overcome this. Salene finds love with Ryan, becomes pregnant, and marries him. But times are hard. The Chosen rule the city and Salene lives in fear that she might lose her baby, because the Mall Rats get very little to eat. For this reason, Salene is convinced by May that it is best for her and the baby to become a member of the Chosen. Though she originally joined the Chosen in order to get food, Salene becomes confused by their propaganda and when asked, frequently says she doesn't know what to think. Alice becomes particularly angry about Salene's status as a Chosen and they have an argument. Salene is walking away from Alice when she falls down some stairs and loses her baby. Meanwhile, Ryan is taken away. Very unhappy and confused, Salene falls in love with the Chosen, Luke, but he rejects her for Ellie. After the Chosen are defeated, Salene becomes lost, and has problems trusting people again. KC trades for a horse, and taking care of the horse helps Salene regain some strength. Salene hears that Ryan is alive and well and finding out his location she sets off to find him. She is unsuccessful. When she comes back to the Mall, she tells the others about her life and she has become quite a strong person. After Bray's abduction, she becomes the leader of the Mall Rats and tries to stop people from being influenced by City Net, the TV program that the Technos invented. Ram uses Salene for his plans and shows the people a film in which Salene tells the people how great the Technos are. Salene eventually becomes the leader of the city, although she has to bow down to Ram. Salene falls in love with Pride and they develop a relationship together, which ends when he is killed by a Techno. At the end of the show, she goes away with the other Mall Rats, to escape Mega's plan to blow the city up. [edit] Sammy
When Sammy first appears , in series 4, he becomes Mouse's best friend and spends lots of time in Jack's room, blowing things up. After filming the Technos’ wrongdoings, Sammy becomes frightened and won’t talk for a while. In series 5, Sammy falls for Gel, but she only seems to notice Lex. They become good friends in the end and Sammy leaves the City on a boat with the other Mall Rats. [edit] Siva
Like her older sister, Java, Siva is betrothed as one of Ram's "girls" and carries considerable influence in the Technos. But unlike Java, Siva is not content with this. She fears Ram for his anger and jealousy and doesn't like being anybody's "property". She is also the older sister of Ebony and is kinder to Ebony than Java. Siva searches for genuine love with the guy of her dreams, and it isn't Ram. But she is loyal to Ram for what he has done for her and will defend him. With good computer and hand-to-hand fighting skills, Siva often leads ground operations for the Technos. Siva falls for Lex and although they become an item, Lex cheats on her with Kandi. Angry, Siva challenges Lex to an on-air kickboxing match. She beats him, thereby ruining his career. After Ebony marries Ram, Siva leaves him for Lex, and Ram denounces her as a Vert. Soon after, Siva moves into the Mall. Siva is accidentally killed by Java, who was aiming for Ebony. [edit] Slade
Slade is a new character in series 5, a drifter and an opportunist who winds up in 'Liberty', the frontier-style city, fully intending to move on but getting increasingly caught up in events. Slade is a 'Pale Rider' character. He's out for himself, and his motives are often ambiguous. But there's a basic decency there behind the gruff exterior, and he can occasionally surprise viewers with acts of tenderness. What's more he doesn't judge others, (except to know that they will also look out for number one, if they've any sense). He is certainly not a 'baddie', he doesn't want to rule the world, but neither does he harbour any illusions about building a Utopia from the ashes of the adult world. He came into the show as an outsider but soon became the new hero of the show. He started up a relationship with Ebony, eventually making her confront her issues and showing a new side of Ebony to the others. Ruby was another love interest of Slade but he chose Ebony over her. It is revealed towards the end of series 5 that Slade's real name is Ron, and that he is the older brother of Mega. [edit] Tai-San
The mystical, spiritual figure of the group. A practitioner of alternative healing, and a great story-teller and weaver of myths for The Tribe. Tai-San can be somewhat aloof, very sure of her own beliefs in her own world. Her persuasive powers and zealous conviction in her own morality can be an irritant to some of the others, especially Amber who accuses her of meddling with others' emotions. In series 2, she marries Lex. In series 3, she becomes the new Supreme Mother and a member of the Chosen, and all the Mall Rats think she is now an enemy. But Tai-San is only trying to persuade the Guardian that the things he does are not good for other people. However, Tai-San fails, and when the Technos come to the city, she disappears. She has a minor role in the 4th season, where she has become a Techno. Tai-San tries to help out her fellow Mall Rats by bringing Brady back to Trudy, and she helps out Mega in his decision to beat Ram. Following the victory of the Mall Rats, Tai-San disappears again and Mega deleted any info on her whereabouts from the computer. It is unsure whether she had a tribe before the series started, or if she was a lone stray. [edit] Trudy
Probably the character that changes the most during the five series, Trudy gets to experience a lot of difficult situations in her young life. She starts out as a needy, frightened 14-year-old who’s in search of a secure place to deliver her baby. Unable to cope with the responsibility towards her daughter and the drastically changed world around her, Trudy desperately tries to find love and a secure place for herself. She goes through post-natal depression and a suicide attempt and runs away with Dal, before she can finally accept her role as a mother and take on her responsibilities. However, she then falls for the deceptive notion of security presented by the religiously fanatic tribe of the Chosen, who kidnap her and her daughter Brady. Prodded by their leader, the Guardian, she betrays her Mall Rats friends and takes on the position of the Supreme Mother of the Chosen. It is only when she is abducted by the Mall Rats and brought to Amber that she realizes her error. After the downfall of the Chosen, she and Amber are kidnapped by Ned, as an attempt to flush out the Guardian for the crowds who want the Guardian dead. Trudy proves to be strong and hopeful in such a precarious situation and she continues to assist the pregnant Amber after they have been freed. She helps deliver Amber’s baby and goes to live with her with the Ecos. In series 5, Trudy faces situations that are challenging for her, such as her fight with her best friend Amber, or the decision to help Amber and Jay even though they have betrayed her. She recognizes that she has been manipulated once again, this time by Mega. However, even though she is still struggling and is, sometimes, a whiny drama queen, Trudy keeps on trying to grow and learn from her mistakes. She might still have a long way to go, but it is undeniable that she has also made tremendous progress. Trudy loses her temper very easily. She is almost always angry at someone, often because they have done something that Trudy doesn't like. In series 2 and 3, when she is with the Chosen and spying on The Mall Rats, she gets angry at every little thing that Cloe says. Trudy has been a member of three tribes, being a co-leader of one of them. Before series 1, Trudy was a member of the Locos along with Zoot. However, Trudy soon sought Bray for help as she did not see the Locos as able to raise a baby. She then became a Mall Rat during series 1 to 5. During series 2 and 3, however, she was brainwashed by the Chosen's Guardian, and became their "Queen". Amber managed to convince Trudy to choose where her loyalties lie, and she became a Mall Rat again. She was a key member of the rebels and talked to others the Guardian had brainwashed as well. She also lead the Chosen guards to desert The Guardian's cause. [edit] Ved
Ved, portrayed by Dan Weekes-Hannah, is a lieutenant and member of the Technos. He appears in episodes 401 - 446. According to the official site, Ved is impulsive, headstrong, stubborn and unpredictable. He is Jay's younger brother, but is determined to lead his own life and is very different from him. He enjoys wielding power and despises virts (non-Technos). Second only to Ram in computer skills, Ved admires Ram and considers him more as a role model than Jay. After the Virus kills all the adults, Ved and Jay join the Locos when Jay realizes they offer the best chance of survival. Series 4: Ved takes part in the invasion of the City at the beginning of Series 4. He shows disdain for all virts and takes pleasure in scaring the City’s inhabitants. As Ram’s lieutenant he is well versed in technology and helps him conceive his Virtual Reality program. Ved has grown closer to Ram and refuses to hear any advice from Jay. He meets the Mall Rat Cloe and, although he seems dismissive of her at first, he slowly falls in love with her. After she tells him she might be pregnant, he breaks up with her, leaving her heartbroken. He tries to win her back and she uses him to get inside information on the Technos. Despite all their differences, they grow closer and Cloe agrees to take part in the first experiment of the new Virtual Reality game. She disappears and Ved tries to find out from Ram what happened to her. Ram informs him Cloe has been “deleted” and Ved tries to get her back by challenging Ram to a duel. He loses the fight and Jay tries to convince him to leave the Technos with him. Ved feels Ram needs him and seems incapable of leaving the only Tribe he has ever known. When Jay tries to leave the City, Ved is worried about him and is relieved to hear he has escaped safely. He helps Ram get back to health but after he hears Ram’s confession while in Virtual Reality, Ved mysteriously disappears. Series 5: At the beginning of Series 5, Jay learns Ved has been “deleted” but Ram confesses that Ved may still be alive somewhere. [edit] Zandra
Zandra, played by Amy Morrison, is one of the original members of the Mall Rats on the television series The Tribe. She appears in episodes 101 – 201. According to the official website, Zandra is an attractive but dizzy young girl and an unintentionally amusing figure. She is a fashion junkie, who spends most of her time gossiping or experimenting with different makeup and clothes. She lives in her own fantasy world, avoiding the harsh realities of the world around her and is very resentful at having to help with chores. Series 1: At the beginning of the Series, Zandra is first seen trying to join the Locos along with Lex, her boyfriend, and Ryan and Glenn. Things don't work out as planned, but Zandra, Lex and Ryan manage to run away and end up in the Mall where Jack traps them between security grills after they try to steal food from the others. After Lex and Ryan offer to defend the others from other dangerous Tribes, Zandra become a founding member of the Mall Rats, acting as a calming influence on Lex. At first Zandra has trouble adapting to her new Tribe and is disliked by the other girls for her tendency to care only about her appearance. She gradually starts to show that she truly cares about the Mall Rats and she votes for Trudy to stay when some of the others think her pregnancy could put them in danger and help her deliver her baby. Her affection for Lex prevents her from realizing that he often uses her and doesn’t truly care for her. He assaults her and cheats on her with both Ebony and Tai-San. At first, she is mad at him, but her blind love for him makes her forgive him and she agrees to marry him a second time after the first wedding is interrupted. She is oblivious to Ryan’s feelings for her and takes advantage of his devotion to her when Lex is absent. She is jealous of Ryan and Salene’s new friendship and bribes him to vote against Bray at a trial where Lex could be expelled from the Mall Rats after stealing water. After Glenn comes to the Mall, contaminated with a new form of the Virus, Zandra takes care of him, feeling guilty for abandoning him to the Locos. After he dies, Zandra becomes convinced she will also die. Lex falls ill and decides to confess about everything he ever did wrong to the Mall Rats. Zandra is furious at Lex for using her and doesn’t stop him when he decides to leave the Mall. When the Tribe Circus invades the Mall, Top Hat threatens Zandra but KC comes to her rescue. Zandra discovers she is pregnant with Lex's child. She is scared and blames Lex for abandoning her and betraying her and considers getting divorced. But when Lex comes back to the Mall she takes pity and tells him about the baby. After Lex is cured, he becomes a different man. He is determined to find another antidote and to be a good father. Zandra is thrilled to see Lex finally take care of her and after the trek to Eagle Mountain proves useless they both decide to leave the Mall Rats, thinking that the City is not a safe place to bring up their baby. However, their happiness is short-lived. Zandra and Amber are killed in an explosion after a generator catches fire on Eagle Mountain. Zandra is buried by Lex on a hillside just bellow the Observatory at the beginning of Series 2. [edit] Zoot / Martin

He was rebellious and had always felt inferior to his older brother Bray, who was loved by both Trudy and Ebony. Martin had a crush on Trudy but realized she only had eyes for Bray. After the Virus starts spreading, Trudy, feeling scared, sleeps with Martin and becomes pregnant with his child. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Virus, Martin creates his Zoot identity and recruits a power-hungry Ebony to form a new Tribe, the Locos. Under his motto of "Power and Chaos" he spreads fear throughout the City and rules mercilessly on his territory. After living with Zoot for a while, Trudy leaves him, fearing for their child and scared of his new personality. Zoot and Ebony become lovers and make prisoner any drifter that passes through their territory. Series 1: Trudy gives birth to Zoot's daughter, Brady, at the beginning of Series 1. Bray, who had taken care of Trudy since she left the Locos, stays in contact with Zoot and convinces him to come to the Mall to see Brady. Hoping to convince Trudy to come back with him, Zoot agrees and is happy to finally see his daughter. The other Mall Rats wake up and are scared to find the leader of the Locos in their house. Zoot attempts to flee while Bray tries to explain Zoot means them no harm. Zoot fights with Lex and is accidentally pushed over the stairs. The fall kills him. Trudy and Bray, with the help of Amber, Jack and Dal, create a warrior burial for Zoot and send him off into the sunrise on a burning boat. Series 2 - 3: Zoot's influence on the City is still very powerful long after his death. In Series 2, a former member of the Locos, Jaffa, creates a new Tribe, the Chosen. As The Guardian, he leads the Chosen in their worship of Zoot. They complete the "Holy Trinity" by kidnapping the "Divine Child", Brady, and brainwashing the "Supreme Mother", Trudy, who ends up joining them. They take over the City during Series 3.

Billy-Boy reappears in Series 4, when he is a candidate in the election for City Leader against Salene. [edit] Brady
Brady is the daughter of Trudy and Zoot, although Trudy allowed people to assume in series 1 that Bray was the father. She did this partly to protect Brady from her violent father, and partly to tie Bray to her in the eyes of the other Mall Rats.

Later, Bray is kidnapped by the Technos but Trudy finds Amber and helps her deliver Bray Jr. safely. After Amber and Bray Jr. return to the City, they live in the Mall. Mega then uses Bray Jr. to manipulate Amber, claiming that Bray Jr. won't be safe if she doesn't agree to his future plans for the City. In order to protect her son, Amber gives in and plays along.
