History Characters / IllegalInstruction

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Like Sally_ALT, Griatos, and Starved, Chaotix is one of four characters to not be based on Sonic or Tails. Instead, he's a Knuckles take on the .exe formula.

[[folder: Duke]]

** Alternatively, he can also be one for [=RightBurstUltra’s=] Wechidna (not to be confused with the Knuckles’ Chaotix glitch of the same name), given that they share a similar concept of being a fake Knuckles with a twisted true form trying to trick others before they can go in for the kill.

[[folder: [=***=]]]
!![=***=]

Also dubbed as '''Wechnia''' by fans, [=***=] is a glitch character from VideoGame/KnucklesChaotix that is seen in the game as a bug. In this mod, he sings "Color Crash" against Mighty, as if it was some sort of reenactment.

* DistressedDude: [=***=] always spawns in floors and walls, causing him to always get stuck to his dismay, and [=***=] is also fed up with this.

* JokeCharacter: [=***=] was never considered an EXE and was only added to the mod to add some extra joke characters.

[[folder: General Tropes]]
* AdaptationalAbomination: While the most amount of detail the character got in their origin was [[RedEyesTakeWarning Red Eyes of Doom]] and BlackEyesOfEvil, in this mod, a majority of the characters look normal in terms of their eyes.
* ScaryTeeth: Many of the characters possess these quite often.

* AdaptionalWimp: In "Apothoesis", Boyfriend, despite being a very abnormal human being, ends up dying at the hands of Duke, being used as one of his puppets in said song.

The many fanmade horror legends of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise have all gathered together in ''VideoGame/IllegalInstruction''. And most of them (barring a few others) have one goal in common: kill the famous Boyfriend.

->''Nice place you got here! Too bad it'll be the last place you'll ever see!''
The son of Revived and part of Project: Glass Cannon, [=NormalCD=] eventually found his way into a timeline where Sonic CD took place. After injuring Sonic, it led to a near-endless fight between him and a drastically upgraded Metal Sonic, courtesy of a now tech-savvy Amy Rose. He was planned to have a place in [[VideoGame/VsSonicExe Vs Sonic.EXE]] and this mod, but both mods got scrapped, and he was excluded from the revival of the latter, along with Normal!Metal and Normal!Amy.

* BadassBoast: Before busting into Robotnik's headquarters to face Metal Sonic and Amy, [=NormalCD=] claims he's playing a game of hide-and-seek, except he's already found them both. Right after breaking inside, he proclaims that the place is nice, [[ImpliedDeathThreat but that it'll be the last place they'll ever see]].
* DualBoss: Inverted, you play as his universe's versions of Amy and Metal against him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: After seeing [=NormalCD=] harm Sonic, Robotnik is immediately prompted to rescue him and get him to safety, not trusting the soul glass being. Likewise, later on, [=NormalCD=] is sent flying into a portal at the tail-end of his story's second act, trying to get free despite his best efforts.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite his appearance being the same size and stature as Sonic, [=NormalCD=] is actually over 50 years old.
* PerpetualSmiler: His face always has a large grin filled with red teeth.

[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/normalmetalsonic.png]]
Metal Sonic in [=NormalCD=]'s universe, having been upgraded by Normal!Amy in order to stop [=NormalCD=]. He's one of the 2 player characters of "Found You", alongside Amy. The two, along with [=NormalCD=], were transferred to ''ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION'' V1 following the cancellation of ''Vs. Sonic.exe'', but were scrapped later.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: One of the two playable characters in "Found You", and has no relation to the mod's main story mode.
* GoodCounterpart: To the original Metal Sonic. The original Metal Sonic opposes the blue blur, while Normal!Metal Sonic's duty is to protect him, along with his friends.
* PowerCrystal: Has a Time Stone imbedded in his forehead.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A robot reprogrammed to protect Amy against [=NormalCD=], who has the ability to break through metal walls by the way, and he just so happens to be wearing a yellow scarf.

[[quoteright:258:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/normalamy.png]]
Amy Rose in [=NormalCD=]'s universe. This version of the pink hedgehog is tech-savvy, having upgraded Metal Sonic in order to protect the original Sonic and his friends (Including her) from threats such as [=NormalCD=]. She's one of the 2 player characters of "Found You", alongside Metal Sonic. The two, along with [=NormalCD=], were transferred to ''ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION'' V1 following the cancellation of ''Vs. Sonic.exe'', but were scrapped later.

* AdaptationalDiversity: Amy's skin has significantly darker compared to her mainstream counterpart, and she's quite a bit chubbier than the original as well.

* GadgeteerGenius: Reprogrammed Metal Sonic to protect her from [=NormalCD=].
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female playable character.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The pink quills and red headband are the only giveaways that she's Amy Rose, as otherwise her look is ''drastically'' different than that of her original counterpart.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While for the majority of the mod Boyfriend is his usual FearlessFool self, his demeanor in "Fatality" is the opposite of that, as he spends the whole song glaring at Fatal Error. The reason for him taking Fatal Error seriously unlike the rest of the mod's opponents seems to be that Fatal Error took Girlfriend from him and turned her into another one of his puppets.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While for the majority of the mod Girlfriend is her usual FearlessFool self, her demeanor in "Final Frontier" and "Apotheosis" is the opposite of that, as she spends the whole song glaring at Duke. The reason for him taking Duke seriously unlike the rest of the mod's opponents seems to be that Duke took Boyfriend from him and turned him into another one of his soul slaves.

[[caption-width-right:350:Something's wrong... You won't hide it from me.]]
->''Things are... okay. Then... can we... try again?''
An OC currently owned by [=TheGlitchyWill=] and a version of Sonic who had been infected with the Curse of X, which resulted in the deaths of his universe's Knuckles, Sally, and Eggman. After being given a second chance in life by Metal Sonic, Curse has been dimension-hopping for a long time, trying to be a ray of sunshine for other [=EXE=]s to get over the hardships he faced. He was intially in the leaked V1 build, but was removed from V2 after the team decided to cut off association with [=TheGlitchyWill=], given the latter was outed for pedophilia.

* AdaptationalAbomination: Inverted: instead of being some all-powerful deity, Curse is simply a version of Sonic that was... well, cursed.
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Is a trans man, compared to the presumably cisgender Sonic and Sonic.exe.
* AuthorAvatar: Downplayed in this case, though Curse's trans nature and self-harm scars have been revealed to be connected to Kenji himself, projecting what he himself had gone through in real life.
* BullyMagnet: Curse became this after getting blamed for Knuckles's death, with only Sally and Eggman there to protect him until their deaths.
* ButNotTooBi: Has been stated to be bisexual, but is also stated to prefer men over women.
* HatedByAll: Nearly everyone in his original world hated him for something he didn't do, with the only ones not doing so having died due to the Curse of X.
* MediumAwareness: Curse is aware that he's simply a video game character, harboring knowledge of other Sonic games and media. [[DownplayedTrope It doesn't bother him that much, though]].
* PerpetualSmiler: According to his bio art, Curse can't frown, which means that his smile is basically struck on his face. He can still feel other emotions, thankfully.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Initially battles Boyfriend under the belief he was trying to harm Girlfriend, and Boyfriend, being the idiot he is, doesn't realize Curse's misconception until Curse himself realizes they're actually together.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Doesn’t even want to harm anybody, with him battling Boyfriend solely out of a misconception that Boyfriend was trying to hurt Girlfriend.
* TransTribulations: Tails has been purposefully deadnaming Curse in an attempt to get under his skin... [[{{Hypocrite}} despite this version of Tails being trans herself]].

A bootleg character and EXE by Rightburst_Ultra initially supposed to appear in VideoGame/VsSonicEXE 3.0 before Rightburst was kicked off the team for pedophilia. He was originally gonna be moved to another mod known as ''Friday Night Funkin: Parallax'', but after that mod was cancelled, he was instead moved to the revival of ''VideoGame/IllegalInstruction'', only for that to be cancelled as well. He was eventually moved to VideoGame/DaredevilFunkin before that mod was cancelled, leading to the character being permanently shelved. He was intended to be an opponent in "My Horizon (H0nkish Mix)" and would have been a playable character in "Chaotic Legends", going against Chaotix.

* RedIsViolent: Another iteration of this, being similar to Duke.
* BodyHorror: In his true form, Wechidna’s limbs are ripped off with muscle flesh underneath. His eyes are also completely gone in this stage.
* {{Expy}}: More than likely to [[VideoGame/VsSonicExe Faker]], both are fakes of existing Sonic characters that trick others before going in for the kill, obviously, Wechidna here impersonates Knuckles instead of Sonic to set himself apart from EXE. On top of this, his poses seem to be directly inspired from [=EXE’s=], as shown with his idle, down and up poses.
* EyeScream: He has a scar on his right eye and, in his true form, his eyes rip open to reveal red innards where a skull should be.
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: His fur and skin are darker, his eyes are black rather than purple, his shoes are red and gold rather than red, green, and white, his crest matches his skin color rather than being white, his gloves are yellow, he doesn’t have knuckle spikes, he has a scar on his right eye, his eyes are conjoined, and he lacks a mouth when not singing. His face is also outright stoic in his redesign's disguise, completely unmoving aside from the monster mouth inside the neck.

[[OriginalGeneration A brand new variation of the famous hedgehog,]] this incarnation [[VoluntaryShapeshifting takes on the form of a perfect replica of the Blue Blur]]…only to be tortured by Duke.

He was initially set to be in V1 before being scrapped, and was also set to be in V2 before it too was scrapped. In the mod, he would have been the opponent of "Chimera" (and its Redux version), going against Duke. However, there is 1 concept on how his song would have played out.
