Background Survivors (World Beyond)

Monument Day 1 (Brave) — Background survivors in Campus Colony

The Background Survivors, sometimes classified as "redshirts"^[1], these characters appear in the background during episodes while the main survivors are engaged in the story. These survivors usually have no part in the main storyline and perform normal, everyday, non-crucial actions.

Background survivors are usually left unnamed, have no speaking roles, and are uncredited. They are ideal for being used as redshirts, characters used to "dramatize the dangerous situation experienced by the main characters".

With the introduction of several groups and communities, extras are utilized as background survivors to show a large population at these settlements, including the Campus Colony and the Civic Republic Military.
