Elliot Vance
Elliot is the Main Character's younger half-brother. They're very close, especially since their parents' death. Main Character has the option to encourage Elliot and Robbie's relationship.

Arthur Vance
Arthur is your grandfather. They don't have a close relationship due to Arthur's controlling attitude and the fact that they hadn't even met until your parents were murdered. You are very surprised to find out that he is a cultist, although it is later revealed that Arthur only stayed with the cult to protect you and Elliot. The two of you grow closer and in Chapter 16, you risk your life to protect Grandpa.

Marie Vance and Todd
Marie was your mother, and the two of you were very close. She was extremely protective of you. You were the one who discovered her body, and it was so distressing it caused flashbacks and extreme stress. Todd was your stepfather and Elliot's biological father.

Trivia

 * Like the main characters of Home for the Holidays, Perfect Match, and Across the Void, the main character of It Lives Beneath has a last name that can't be changed. In this case it's "Vance".
 * The surname Vance is Old English in origin and means "one who lives near the Marshland" or "dweller of bog".
 * Your Nerve score starts at zero.
 * In Chapter 1, it is revealed that your biological father abandoned your family when you were seven. Your grandpa says he's a deadbeat dad who lives in Montreal.
 * It is implied that you were being hypnotized by the same creature before Kyle snapped you out of your trance.
 * Unlike the main character of It Lives in The Woods, you aren't familiar with Redfield or any supernatural forces.
 * If Tom's nerve is weak in Chapter 10, you will lose one of your pinky fingers since he cannot protect you.
 * In Chapter 17, Richard traps you in a coffin, which he pushes into the lake. You have to select the correct choices in order to escape. If you do or your nerve is high enough, you manage to escape. If the wrong choices are made or your nerve is too low, you won't be able to escape and you will drown.
 * If the player decides to keep the name Harper, he/she subsequently shares the same forename as Harper Emery from Open Heart, Book 1.
