History Characters / OFF

* WarmUpBoss: He is the opponent for the tutorial.

* PaintingTheFourthWall: If you give him a music box in Zone 3, he'll tell you that the answer to one of the puzzles is inside the game's own Readme file.

* {{Superboss}}: You can easily go through the whole game without ever encountering her, though killing her is needed for the special ending.

* IllBoy: Both his [[VoiceGrunting talk-sound effect of strained coughing]], and a line in the Room mentioning him having to take pills, suggest this.

* GradualGrinder: Though he doesn't hit too hard, he's a fan of draining your CP, poisoning, and infuriating your party, so you'll have to put Omega on healing duty during most of the fight.

* BodyHorror: All Burnt usually have different kinds of body horror, but all have [[OffWithHisHead missing heads]] - the Pastel Burnt in particular looks like some kind of dinosaur creature, and sometimes spawns Elsen-heads from its mouth.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: His FinalBoss form if you side against him. Hinted at in [[BonusBoss Sugar's]] dialogue.

* BattleThemeMusic: "Avatar Beat", the FinalBoss theme, could be considered ''your'' theme since it plays regardless of whether you choose to side with The Batter or The Judge. And considering The Batter/The Judge can be considered your "avatar"...

* WalkingSpoiler: Although your presence as a character is evident from the start, discussing what happens to you is kind of a spoiler by virtue of the twists.

* BattleThemeMusic: [[http://www.rpg-maker.fr/ost/OST/OFF/34%20-%20Avatar%20Beat.mp3 Avatar Beat]] for both of his FinalBoss battles.
* BookEnds: He is both the tutorial boss and a possible FinalBoss.

The beings who oversee the Zones for the Queen. (For the Judge's entry, see above in the Protagonists folder.)

* FinalBoss: Despite her preceeding the [[PostFinalBoss actual final opponent]], and not being the BigBad (that's [[VillainProtagonist The Batter]]), she is the last and toughest genuine challenge in the main storyline.
* {{Foil}}: To The Batter. Like him, she is supposedly emotionless, a ParentalSubstitute to Hugo, and extremely dedicated to her purpose and "mission". However, she is ostensibly female, the DiscOneFinalBoss of the game, and depending on your interpretation of The Batter, [[GoodCounterpart arguably aligned with good, or is at least non-evil]]. A few other factors help set them apart:

* TheMaker: Created The Queen and The Batter, though this was lost in the original French-to-English translation.

!!The Judge

!!Spectres
[[folder:Spectres]]

-->'''Enoch:''' The people were happy, before the phantoms came. Incidentally, I still don't understand why the dead won't just disappear anymore.

The enemies of the game, who haunt the Zones for unknown reasons. It is suggested in some parts of the game that they might be under the control of the Queen herself, but that is never proven one way or the other.

* BedsheetGhost: Many of them have this look.
* FakeUltimateMook: The Whale enemy is enormous, but a relatively weak opponent.
* HelpfulMook: You need to find the name of one of the Spectres, Von Gacy, to enter a part of Zone 3.
* MookMaker: When Fat Spectres summon a speech bubble to laugh, that bubble has its own HP bar and can inflict [[StatusEffects Blindness]] (although, luckily, it cannot attack).
* {{Mooks}}: Most of the regular enemies you encounter throughout the game are these guys.
* SignatureLaugh: Fat Spectres sometimes summon a speech bubble saying "ah ah!" during battle.
* ThemeNaming: A few of the Spectres are named after famous serial killers.
* UniqueEnemy: Even though enemies are only restricted to a few places, the (ironically named) Common Spectres are only fought at the beginning of the game.

* FinalBoss: One of the possible two, if you choose the special ending.

* FinalBoss: One of a possible two, if you choose the official ending.

* ClimaxBoss: The boss of the Three Guardians, comes with her own three Add-Ons, and significant plot information is revealed during her fight. Not to mention that, while not the FinalBoss herself, she's harder to beat than the actual FinalBoss.

* PreFinalBoss: She is not the actual last battle -- that comes later. Nor is she the BigBad -- that's [[VillainProtagonist The Batter]]. However, she is the toughest boss in the main storyline.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: She is not the actual last battle -- that comes later. Nor is she the BigBad -- that's [[VillainProtagonist The Batter]]. However, she is the toughest boss in the main storyline.

* {{Tulpa}}: She was created by Hugo's wish to have a mother, according to WordOfGod.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: She is not the actual last battle -that comes later. Nor is she the BigBad- that's [[VillainProtagonist The Batter]]. However, she is the toughest boss in the main storyline.

* MirrorBoss: Just like The Batter she has Add-ons, and their style of combat perfect mimic his. This is actually inverted with the role of The Queen and The Batter in combat, however, as while The Batter is balanced between support and damage, The Queen only very aggressively attacks.

* BonusBoss: You can go through the whole game without ever encountering her, though killing her is needed for the true ending.

* ThemeNaming: Alpha has competences based on chains and embraces, Omega's are based on image editing, and Epsilon's are based on genres of plays.

** His baseball bats and tunics that you can equip him with are named after famous baseball players.

* IllMan: ''Every single one of them'' according to WordOfGod.

* HumanoidAbomination: Like The Queen, the Batter is an entity made by Hugo probably to serve as his father figure. WordOfGod confirms his status as a construct.
** By the time of the FinalBattle, it's even bordering on EldritchAbomination, as seen by The Judge and Player if the latter decides to betray The Batter. Mortis has commented the change in appearance isn't a literal transformation, but symbolic of how the Batter has changed from a hero to a monster in the Judge's and Player's eyes.

* OmnicidalManiac: His main goal is to ''destroy the world''. Even if you consider it righteous as what is left of creation is an incredibly decadent wasteland just shy of a living hell, he is still killing everything and everyone in the process.

* TheUnfettered: Of the "lacks emotion" kind. He's on a mission to purify the world, and he ''will'' do it. [[spoiler:Even if it means [[PaterFamilicide killing his supposed wife and creator]]]].
** It is interesting to note that the Batter ''does'' have a sense of right and wrong that seems to erode after a while. When he first witnesses Dedan's appallingly abusive attitude towards the Elsen, he immediately sets out to purify him, and cannot understand why a nearby Elsen would advise him against this.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Zacharie addresses you several times, mentioning how it's all just a video game. The Judge is the only other person to address you often, and he views you as a puppeteer.

* TheReveal: The Add-Ons are connected to The Guardians. ''How'' they're connected [[WildMassGuessing is another question.]]

* MookMaker: When Fat Spectres summon a speech bubble to laugh, that bubble has its own HP bar and can inflict [[StandardStatusEffects Blindness]] (although, luckily, it cannot attack).

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Each of them are stronger than the previous one, however, this has an interesting twist in the way each following Guardian is ''less'' evil/malicious than the previous one.
** Dedan is an awful asshole and probably the worst living person in the entire setting.
** Japhet is a MadGod, but at least he's self-aware of his status as such and utter failure as a Guardian and a ruler.
** Enoch, albeit somewhat embittered and apathetic, has actually managed to remain entirely sane and he's still doing his job as well as he can, even if it's rather dark in nature.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: He's the only Guardian that doesn't defy his own goals. However, after he started giving his subjects the new substance he'd created and they got addicted to it, things started to drift out of control...

* HumanoidAbomination: Like The Queen, the Batter is an entity made by Hugo probably to serve as his father figure. WordOfGod confirms his status as a contruct.
** By the time of the FinalBattle, its even bordering on EldritchAbomination, as seen by The Judge and Player if the latter decides to betray The Batter. Mortis has commented the change in appearance isn't a literal transformation, but symbolic of how the Batter has changed from a hero to a monster in the Judge's and Player's eyes.

* KnightTemplar: His main goal is to purify the world, which involves ''destroying it''. However, he doesn't quite get to that point until later in the game. Early on he is genuinely outraged at Dedan's cruelty and sets out to selflessly help several elsens on the way. After seeing the awful status of the world and how awful the guardians are, his resolve in his missions sets and whatever empathy he has left erodes away and his zeal becomes unshakeable.

* ParentalSubstitute: His actual purpose and the reason for his creation seems to have served as Hugo's father, next to the The Queen's role as a mother. However, he's gone rogue.

* OmnicidalManiac: His main goal is to ''destroy the world''. Even if you consider it righteous as what is left of creation is an incredibly decandent wasteland just shy of a living hell, he is still killing everything and everyone in the process.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: He was created by Hugo, and albeit his reason for existance is unclear (he was seemingly meant to be his father figure next to the Queen's mother figure). However in game he turned against him and his explicit goal is to destroy all of creation, incluiding Hugo and The Queen.

* BattleThemeMusic: "Avatar Beat", the FinalBoss theme, could be considered ''your'' theme, since it plays regardless of whether you choose to side with The Batter or The Judge. And considering The Batter/The Judge can be considered your "avatar"...

* UniqueEnemy: Even though enemies are only restricted to a few places, the (ironically named) Common Spectres are only fought in the beginning of the game.

* FallenHero: Especially pronounced on Japhet, but all of them where very nice and optimistic individuals in their heyday. Presumably the dying world they are managing has taking a toll on them, on varing degrees.

* PhysicalGod: Regardless of their opinion on their status as such (Japhet expresses like AGodIAmNot, while Enoch is openly about AGodIAm) , they by all means are the gods of (what little is left of) the world. They are vastly powerful and the Zones ''need'' them, fundamentally, to exist.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Each of them are stronger than the previous one, however this has an interesting twist in the way each following Guardian is ''less'' evil/malicious than the previous one.
** Dedan is an awful asshole and probably the worst living person in the entire setting
** Japhet is a MadGod, but at least he's self aware of his status as such and utter failure as a Guardian and a ruler.
** Enoch, albeit somewhat enbitered and apathetic, has actually managed to remain entirely sane and he's still doing his job as well as he can, even if its rather dark in nature.

* HairTriggerTemper: He's ''always'' in a bad mood, and inconveniencing him in any way will get you a couple threats at the very least.

The Guardian of Zone 2, who built a big city for his people to live in. He used to be a NiceGuy, known for his generousity... but then he went mad.

* ThemeNaming: His competences are named after vocal ranges. Slightly fitting, as he's a phoenix, which are usually associated with song.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being the size of a large hill, he is very capable of chasing you down. It does wear him down after awhile, though.

* HumanAllAlong: Despite his appareance, size shifting abilities, and having the time to make a last speech despite being beheaded, he is human according to WordOfGod.

* SizeShifter: His size ranges from ceiling-height to the size of a building, and he mentions having to squeeze through pipes of fat to chase the Batter. It's likely an ability of his.

* CombatTentacles: Some interpret her having long tentacles wrapped around her body, others see a belt of some sort and normal arms held behind her. Tentacles or no, she doesn't seem to use them in the fight. Curiously, she has human-like hands in all of her concept artworks.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Her real name is only revealed when you use Wide Angle on her, otherwise shes exclusively known as the Queen and nothing else.

* HeroAntagonist: She's the direct opposition to The Batter; whether you see her as a hero or villain depends on how you view The Batter himself. Regardless it all seems to indicate The Queen was indeed the one keeping the world afloat, as decandent as it was, while The Batter is an OmnicidalManiac hellbent on annihilation.

* HumanoidAbomination: Similarly to The Batter, shes outwardly quite human looking, however, Mortis has confirmed that neither of them are human, and her sprite does have a rather alien look.
**While her graphic is rather vague, she seems to have no face and her "hair" may in fact be tentacles, leaving her not dissimilar to a certain [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos suit-clad faceless being]]. Her concept art features her with a dark, screaming face and claw hands, possibly to mirror the Bad Batter, while newer art gives her more human-like hands than what she has in-game and either an extremely simple face or a serene skeletal face.

* MirrorBoss: Just like The Batter she has Add-ons, and their style of combat perfect mymic his. This is actually inverted with the role of The Queen and The Batter in combat however, as while The Batter is balanced between support and damage, The Queen only very agressively attacks.

* WordSaladHorror: WordOfGod states that the things she says has no real meaning and are really just gibberish. That being said, Mortis is infamously a TrollingCreator, not to mention that The Batter responds with similar elocuency to their conversation and clearly understand what she's talking about. However, we as the players have very limited context for it, so the entire conversation comes off as highly cryptic.

* BossInMookClothing: Can reach this level, due to their extremely high levels of power and loads of HP. It's not advisable to return to a Zone immediately after purifying it, for at that level, you're unlikely to survive the onslaught of the Secretaries for long.

* NonHumanHead: While they're mostly human, their heads are transformed into pillars of smoke, further freaking them out. The higher leveled ones have more non-human characteristics, gaining smoky claws and/or fangs.

* CoolMask: Two of them, one based off The Judge.
* HiddenDepths: Some hidden content in the game hint that he's more important than he appears to be. In Zone 2, the Elsens end up slipping that he's the owner of The Park, and seem surprised that you have "proof" you know him, if you manage to get the Photo of Zacharie. In Zones 0 and 3, he refers to the Judge as "Pablo", his true name. And more, Hugo's almost unreadable notes in the Room's calendar say something among the lines of "Zacharie is the best guy I know, he's my friend." BonusBoss Sugar also apparently knows him, as she asks you to tell him goodbye for her before she dies. Mortis' official concept art even refers to Zacharie as [[HeroOfAnotherStory "The Hero"]].

A mysterious little boy in a undisclosed location. He doesn't seem to be in very good health. Just who is he?

* MissingMom: Writes or speaks of missing "Mama" often despite never seeming to hear back from her. He receives visits from his father, but doesn't seem to like him. The fact that The Batter and The Queen are his creations who were seemingly meant to be his parental substitutes makes it even muddier if he's talking about them or his actual biological parents.

* ParentalAbandonment: His writings mention his mother and father, but they seem to be gone by the time of the game. The fact that The Queen and The Batter might have been made to fill roles as his parents makes it even more unclear if his writings reference them or his dissapeared biological parents.

* PhysicalGod: By all indications he seems to have made or at least uplifted the world into its corrent status, even if The Queen and the Guardians are the ones running it.

* PerpetualFrowner: Oddly enough, despite her cheerful demeanor and tendency to end her sentences with smiley faces, her [[http://imgur.com/coyXxii original concept art]] (which her in-game sprite is based on) has her frowning with a [[KubrickStare serious expression]] on her face. She's also frowning or has a neutral face expression in most of her newer artworks as well.

* HeroAntagonist: She's the direct opposition to The Batter; whether you see her as a hero or villain depends on how you view The Batter himself. Regardless it all seems to indicate The Queen was indeed the one keeping the world afloat, as decandent as it was, while The Batter is an OnmicidalManiac hellbent on annihilation.

* OneSceneWonder: Unlike other mayor characters, she is never seen before the final showndown with her, even if she's heavily referenced by other characters over the course of the game. However her conversation with The Batter completely recontextualizes the entire game, heavily expands on the character of The Batter himself and stablishes her as a very unique individual. This is followed by an ''extremely'' memorable MirrorBoss battle.
