History Characters / GoingUnder

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Believes that the only way Fizzle can survive as a company is to harness the toxic power of the Dark Artifacts, and he's willing to sacrifice the happiness and well-being of the employees under him in order to do so.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She just wants to help people. Only problem is that [[spoiler:she's trying to do so by eroding the barrier around people's souls so she can read their deepest desires. And to that end, she's created a particularly nasty and toxic society where businesses kill each other for the embodiment of their sins, the Dark Artifacts, and turn failed businesses into dungeons filled with monsters.]]

* EnemyMine: A random Joblin ally can be hired with the [=JoblinSquad=] app even if it forces them to attack fellow joblins. They must be ''really'' desperate to get work.

* AxCrazy: His coffee addiction has rendered him the most violently unhinged of the CEOs of the failed startups. That said, losing twice to Jackie seems to have beaten some sense into him or enough to realize that she's a better employee than he ever was.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: While his friendly persona cracks early when he threatens Jackie with being fired after her initial refusal to going into the dungeons, [[spoiler:he later attacks her when she refuses to stand down from him completing the Dark Pattern. Though the ending implies that he was trying to help, but in his own selfish way.]]

* KatanasAreJustBetter: [[spoiler: Wields one in his first fight, The Costcutter, and the game even provides you with your own katana. He later upgrades to [[OddlyShapedSword a giant boxcutter]] called the Union Buster.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:His fate after Cubicle collapses is unknown, but everyone but Jackie writes him off as dead for using them, and even she doesn't feel the need to look.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:After losing to Jackie again, he reveals that he's only 36 years old after being mistake for an old man.]]

* VoiceOfTheLegion: [[spoiler:After Fizzle goes under, Eclaire's bark deepens dramatically and gains an echo.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: The kindest member of Fizzle, but isn't above trying to [[spoiler:verbally beat everyone else further into the ground as the company goes under]] and has mentor abilities that promote highly aggressive playstyles.

* CordonBleughChef: Using Fern as a mentor replaces apps in the dungeon with failed Fizzle flavors, like [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce wasabi habanero]] and [[ExactWords "Sweet Nothing."]] Overlapping with LethalChef, the cans are used to ditch the utility of the apps in favor of applying debuffs to maintain a highly aggressive playstyle.

* IgnoranceIsBliss: Is the only person in Fizzle who seems to be completely unaware of the dungeons beneath Fizzle.

* IncompetenceInc: Being a parody of tech start-ups, the company suffers from inept management that both overworks their employees and splurge on unnecessary frivolities.

* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Her distrust of technology like Avie and whatever Cubicle been up to ends up very justified considering what happens in the second half of the game.]]

-->”Kill them all, Jackie”

* NiceGuy: His missions rarely involve killing anything, and he’s the most concerned out of all the Fizzle staff for Jackies wellbeing. One of his mentor abilities is that he packs you a lunch, as he was the only one who noticed and cared that Jackie was living exclusively off of InexplicablyPreservedDungeonMeat.

* PaperThinDisguise: Denies the fact that he's running both the Styxcoin currency side of the gift shop and the side that accepts normal currency with his only disguise being that he puts his hood up and wears Groucho Marx glasses when operating the Styxcoin currency counter. [[spoiler:Turns out to be true in the last dungeon, where it's revealed that the Groucho Marx glasses one was his brother, who stop talking to each other when one of them sold the latter's guitar.]]
* ShoutOut: His name is one letter off from [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]]

Winkydink Inc's Mixologist

* BatOutOfHell: Kilobats. They manifested from the sheer amount of data in the STX ledgers and are eternally hungry for Crypto.

** Hover Hands is this to the smiley face-based Emoozi slimes since he too is essentially an Emoozi hiding behind a Tengu Emoji=esque mask. However, his reliance on his emoji-based floating hands to fight makes him rather distinct from his workers. [[spoiler:Less so during the harder version of Winkydink in which weaker versions of his hands show up as regular enemies. Not to mention, during the final phase of his boss fight, he's effectively just a stronger version of the giant Emoozi enemies.]]

* BadassInANiceSuit: Farm more professional-looking than Jackie that's for sure.

* BadassInANiceSuit.

* EvilCounterpart: A dark double of Jackie as a full-fledged businesswoman.
* [[spoiler:GiantEnemyCrab: Her second phase has her turn into a crab monster with faster and more ferocious attacks. Either this is yet another in-game reference to the developer, Agro Crab, or a nod to what Jackie could've possibly turned into had the curse affected her.]]

* EnemyMine: A random Joblin ally can be hired with the JoblinSquad app even if it forces them to attack fellow joblins. They must be ''really'' desperate to get work.

The head accountant at Fizzle.

The lead engineer at Fizzle.

* BonusBoss: Has her own mode accessed through the mirror in Jackie's bedroom. Said mode being a gauntlet of the first three dungeons in random order, facing off against shadow versions of the bosses, and finally a showdown with the Imposter herself. But wait! There's more! With each successful run, higher difficulties for the extra mode are unlocked.
* EvilDoppleganger: A dark double of Jackie as a full-fledged businesswoman.

* EvilIsBurningHot: His battle arena has several vents to blow fire into the room and he also has a fire-breathing attack. [[spoiler:As Mask Off Hover Hands, the vents are absent but he'll still fill the arena with fire emoji projectiles.]]
* EyepatchOfPower: His slime face under that mask has one. [[spoiler:You'll get a better view of it when he's Mask Off Hover Hands.]]
* ForeignCultureFetish: His boss music and fight shows that he's a major Japanophile, hence the outfits he makes the demons wear. When he breaths fire, his hands do the ninjitsu stance.

* CuteSlimeMook: Subverted. The slime workers are actually nastier people than the HornyDevils; they're the ones who were contributing to its sexually harassing work environment ([[VisualPun they're the slimy members]]).

* AnythingThatMoves: In the Winkydink Inc dungeons able to go on dates with ladies, gentlemen and...slime in the Winkydink dungeon.
* ChekhovsGun: The fact she's unpaid [[spoiler:protects her from the curse of turning her co-workers into monsters.]]

* ObliviousToLove: When Lilli drops a hint that she wants to get together with her, she simply states that it'd be nice to know someone from Winkydink Inc that wasn't a shameless perv and it'd be neat to hang out as friends. While Lilli seems to accept this and hands Jackie her business card, leaving her Mixology Bar will have Jackie suddenly wonder out loud if Lilli was flirting with her.

* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Her distrust of technology like Avie or whatever Cubicle's doing ends up very justified considering what happens in the second half of the game.]]

* ChubbyChef: The largest member of Fizzle, and in charge of calibrating its tastes.

* ClippedWingAngel: [[spoiler:During your rematch against the guy, only his hands have the boss healthbar of "Mask Off Hover Hands" while sticks to manipulating them from an elevated position with a DJ turntable. Once they're destroyed, he hops down and fights as what amounts to a suped up version of the giant Emoozi enemies who split into smaller versions of themselves when damaged enough. Still threatening but less so than when he was relying on his emoji hands to relentlessly smash and blast projectiles at Jackie.]]
* EvilIsBurningHot: His battle arena has several vents to blow fire into the room and he also has a fire-breathing attack. [[spoiler:As Mask Off Hover Hands, the vents are absent but he'll still blast you with fire emojis.]]

* AmbiguousGender: With the exception of Hu$tlebone$, Zans, and the bearded Detonators who, there's not way to tell what gender any of the skeletal workers were when they were still human.

* IKnowMaddenCombat: The Racketeers fight with tennis rackets. Apparently, they were planning on playing tennis later until they ran into Jackie.

* BrawnHilda: The business cards added to the Working From Home Update reveal that the large, deep-voiced, muscular, and bald Joblifter enemies are in fact female Joblins despite their only outright feminine trait being their eyelashes.

* BadBoss: The Caffiend forces his workers to work constantly without breaks, Hu$tlebone$ ignores the fact that Styxcoin's value is never coming back but keeps forcing his workers to mine more bitcoins despite this and get people to buy more his failed currency regardless, and Hover Hands 'encourages' his workers to dress according to his interests. They're all pretty bad.

* JiveTurkey: Downplayed. Between his looks, [[AutoTune his voice,]] his lingo, and even his BattleThemeMusic, he's got a heavier hip hop vibe than any other character in the game. The addition of his Hypemen employees who he can summon during the boss further supports the image he seems to portray.

* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:The one confirmed aversion. He's actually a real ferryman of the dead, inheriting the position from his father and not just a BadBoss converted into a lich when his business went under.]]

* EvilIsBurningHot: His battle arena has several vents to blow fire into the room and he also has a fire-breathing attack.
