History Characters / PonyIsland

* CatSmile: He does this whenever he speaks, even when plotting vengeance.

The host of the revamped ''Pony Island''. He serves as a tutorial guide to help the player through the game.

The first of the Daemon Programs.

The host of the revamped ''Pony Island''.

* GetBackHereBoss: He fights you in an endless castle, shooting stalactites from the mouth, striking the ground with his fast, punching in the air; ''all while he's crawling away from you.''

The devil himself and the creator of ''Pony Island''. He has trapped the player's soul inside his game and takes spouls from others as well.

* TreacherousAdvisor: Subverted. The Daemons tell you the Hopeless Soul isn't to be trusted, and if you collect all the tickets...he still does absolutely nothing to seem he isn't on the up-and-up, he just decides to give a satisfying conclusion to the completionist run. Played with in that after you beat the game, then tamper certain variables in the save file, come back into the game, and hit continue, it will lead you to a screen where the typical 'devil head' sprite will appear blue and talk first with the sound effect of Lucifer, berating the player messing with game files, but afterwards switching to the sound......of the Hopeless Soul. Then it will let you in on a secret — sometimes he talks "in different voices", and he asks you to "not to tell [[{{God}} dad]]". He still never does anything to betray you; it's unclear if he secretly wanted you to escape, was simply sick of having people who hated his games playing them, just wanted to amuse himself, or had some other motivation.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Lucifer implies they are the same person, just with "different voices". It is ambiguous just how true this is, or if Lucifer is lying to you, since we only have his word on it.

* DefeaingTheUndefeatable: Asmodeus.exe boasts that he has never lost his mind-bending quiz game. Should you manage to see through his tricks, Theodore becomes the first one to beat Asmodeus at his own game.

The second of the Daemon Programs.

The third and last of the Daemon Programs.

* PuzzleBoss: The boss fight against him is not really a traditional fight. Rather, it functions more like a PopQuiz where you must watch him carefully and type whatever he asks if you. But he will deploy all sorts of measures to distract you, even doing things like pretending to be a Steam friend sending messages, and you have to ignore them to win.

* MediumAwareness: He is the only character who not only knows that he is in the InUniverse arcade game, but displays knowledge of being in the out-of-universe game itself. As such, he can do things like impersonating one of your friends on Steam and even ''temporarily freeze the game'' to trick you into shutting it off.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: He [[AmbiguouslyEvil may]] be an example; there are moments where he acts suspiciously (he does a brief, unsettling laugh during your second chat with him, after beating [[WarmupBoss Azazel]]), and the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent daemons]] lead you to believe that [[UnwittingPawn he's manipulating you]]. In [[EasterEgg a hidden scene]], [[BigBad Lucifer]] will even imply that [[TwoAliasesOneCharacter he is the Hopeless Soul]]. But even when the Soul turns out to be the TrueFinalBoss, he's just trying to [[OneHundredPercentCompletion satisfy the player's completionist urges]], and never really does anything malevolent.
* TreacherousAdvisor: Subverted. The Daemons tell you the Hopeless Soul isn't to be trusted, and if you collect all the tickets...he still does absolutely nothing to seem he isn't on the up-and-up, he just decides to become the TrueFinalBoss to give a satisfying conclusion to the completionist run.

He still never does anything to betray you; it's unclear if he secretly wanted you to escape, was simply sick of having people who hated his games playing them, just wanted to amuse himself, or had some other motivation.
* TrueFinalBoss: If you've collected every single ticket in the game, which in itself is already a difficult feat to accomplish, he will realize the only reason you're still playing is to beat the final challenge. The battle against him involves ''horizontal movement'', an UnexpectedShmupLevel and a first person segment. [[FinalExamBoss Hope you remembered how to play the other games you found along the way.]] Oh, and every attack is a 1-hit kill.

The characters of ''VideoGame/PonyIsland''. '''Spoilers abound.'''

* TheDevilIsALoser: Lucifer sucks at basic coding and game design, and is obsessed with girly ponies.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: He talks in a cutesy, cheery manner and is incredibly friendly to the player. Given that he is a creation of Lucifer, and he gets suspicious at times, the player is likely to suspect he is evil, especially when the {{Ominous Visual Gltich}}es start showing up. But he never antagonizes you until ''you'' shoot at him- then he comes at you in the FinalBoss for revenge.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Of a sort. In the escape, Theodore's soul is the blackest and darkest among the thousands trapped in Limbo. And complete with draconic head firing lasers and wings, he looks like a demon in his own right. yet he is fighting to help the others escape.

* TrueFinalBoss: If you've collected every single ticket in the game, which in itself is already a difficult feat to accomplish, he will realize the only reason you're still playing is to beat the final challenge. [The battle against him involves ''horizontal movement'', an UnexpectedShmupLevel and a first person segment.

* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Lucifer implies they are the same person, just with "different voices". It is ambiguous just how true this is, or of Lucifer is lying to you, since we only have his word on it.

* TooDumbToLive: Digging through the code (and cryptic information Baphomet reveals) shows the crusader Theodore died because he failed to storm Jerusalem. The reason? He tried to go in ''through the Golden Gate''. Of all the eight gates to the city, it's the only one that's permanently closed.

* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Lampshaded by him.

* SheepsInSheepsClothing: He [[AmbiguouslyEvil may]] be an example; there are moments where he acts suspiciously (he does a brief, unsettling laugh during your second chat with him, after beating [[WarmupBoss Azazel]]), and the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent daemons]] lead you to believe that [[UnwittingPawn he's manipulating you]].

* IHaveManyNames: Lucifer Almighty, The Beast, Satan... ''[=SystemTech=]'', etc.
