| Appearances | Every season |
A "node" is the term used to describe the series or franchise of which a contestant originates from. It can be a video game, film, television show, novel, or any other media format.
About[]
A node can provide context to contestants' backgrounds, and is prominently featured in the lower third during confessionals. Originally, they would appear underneath the contestant's name, but beginning with Survivor Fan Characters 7, they have since appeared beside the contestant's name.

Trivia[]
- The Sonic the Hedgehog series is the most recurring node in Survivor Fan Characters with eight different contestants.
- Additionally, there are also two other contestants who come from a Sonic-related property, which makes ten in total from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
- The Kingdom Hearts series and the Pokémon franchise are the only nodes to generate two finalists. With Kingdom Hearts, there was Baxter in Survivor Fan Characters 3, and Kala in All-Stars, both of whom were the Runner-Up.
