Who are the original Fortnite characters?

Since it arrived in 2017, Fortnite has crafted complicated lore with exciting twists and turns. New characters are always introduced, adding to the story of this strange island held in a bubble within the universe. But who are these original Fortnite characters?

Guide to Fortnite’s original characters

Fortnite’s original eight playable characters from Chapter One, and the extra skins added in Chapter Two are considered Default Skins. These outfits are applied randomly when no other skin is chosen in the locker load-out. They are also the base models for additional outfits that have been available to buy in the Item Shop or unlock in the battle pass.

According to Fortnite lore, every player who joins a battle royale match is a Looper. This nickname is given to all fighters caught in the inter-dimensional loop where death resets their memory and they are forever running from the Storm.

All Fortnite lore characters

The Fortnite lore is complicated and twisty, as is usually the case when you bend time and space and mess with the fabric of reality. Over the years, powerful people have been trying to take control of the Zero Point, the origin point of reality.

The infinite energy stored inside the Zero Point is tempting to those attempting to harness its immense power. The unstable nature of the Zero Point has caused countless dramatic episodes, split universes, and created rifts in reality through which Loopers can travel. Since Fortnite began, a war between good and evil has been played out under the watchful eye of this omnipotent orb. Here are some of the Fortnite original character backstories through the years.
