Host

The **host** is the primary role in Survivor RP. Hosts coordinate a season, roll dice, provide commentary, and overall act as a unique kind of game master. They choose a character to host as, typically known as a "hosting avatar," and are responsible for the day-to-day operation of a season. There is a slated and planned host for every season up until season 33.

## List of hosts

This list includes every player that has ever held the host role during a season, even if they did not act as a typical host.

## Trivia

* Several seasons have had people assist with the set-up of the season itself, but are not considered hosts as they left the server, decided not to host and instead spectated, were not active for other reasons, or even chose to play after leaving at an early point in development. These include:
	+ Tendie, during *Greece* (chose to and cleared to play instead).
	+ Courtney, during *Italy* (left hosting due to outside circumstances).
	+ Ai, during *Sri Lanka* (did not intend to fully host).
	+ Elendil, during *Egypt* (removed from hosting).
	+ Clo, during *Cranberry Isles* (did not intend to fully host).
	+ Ghostie, during *Cranberry Isles* (left hosting due to outside circumstances).
	+ Courtney, during *Jan Mayen* (left hosting due to outside circumstances).
	+ Silence, during *Jan Mayen* (chose to and cleared to play instead).
	+ DMG, during *Turkey* (left hosting due to outside circumstances).

3. ↑ Star was brought on after Holo became unable to provide regular hunger updates.
4. ↑ Martin also occasionally played Tia Safalin during the season, though she is not considered a dual host like Squid's characters during *Black Forest*.
5. ↑ Tsar was given the host role as a way to study for hosting the next season, and did not function as a regular host.
6. ↑ Kastelle was given the host role as a way to study for hosting a future season, and primarily performed hunger updates.
