| 9 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see her old sprite]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hd_tee_cee.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 10 | The main character of the lore videos. A young woman just trying to get by. She’s selectively Mute, but is able to sing. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * AbsurdPhobia: THE DRIP, as her greatest weakness is not being able to have it. |
| 13 | * ArtEvolution: Went from being represented by an edit of an existing sprite, to having an original sprite created for her character. |
| 14 | * AuthorAvatar: Represents the real-life T.C. |
| 15 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Is often quiet and passive around others, but DRIP SPIRIT [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36tYPafZ8YI learns the hard way]] that this doesn't make her a pushover. |
| 16 | -->'''T.C.:''' [[IronicEcho Get]] [[PrecisionFStrike fucked]]. |
| 17 | * {{BFS}}: The [[VideoGame/RuneScape Dragon Hatchet]] she uses in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ3GphEHwO4 Bushwhack]]''. |
| 18 | * CannotSpitItOut: Has clear feelings for Sarvente [[EveryoneCanSeeIt that even the other characters notice]], but never tries to directly act on them. |
| 19 | ** [[spoiler:DidNotGetTheGirl: Ultimately, Ruv confessed his own feelings to Sarvente before TC could, and she doesn't take it well when she finds out.]] |
| 20 | * CuteMute: Finds it easier to sign or write things out than to talk aloud. |
| 21 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: To the point that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKIIx2A4T-w she has her own]] [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} "Something"]]. |
| 22 | * DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Not only can she [[HeroicWillpower "not succumb"]] when seriously injured, [[spoiler:the one time she actually does die she just beats Death in a rap battle and comes back]]. |
| 23 | * HowDareYouDieOnMe: Happens toward [[spoiler:Garcello]] in the cutscene for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f73sOEaXVgI&feature=youtu.be Requiem]]''. |
| 24 | * ExhaustedEyeBags: She has them as a result of her sleeping issues, also affecting irl T.C.. |
| 25 | * FearOfThunder: A fear she sometimes displays. |
| 26 | * GenreSavvy: Knows that most conflicts get resolved through rap battles and occasionally gets someone singing just so they're too busy to threaten her. |
| 27 | * TheImmune: [[WordOfGod Her canonical weakness is not having the DRIP]], which makes DRIP SPIRIT unable to possess her. |
| 28 | * [[spoiler:ImmuneToFate]]: [[spoiler:T.C. is quite literally this, causing her to survive blows that would otherwise incapacitate or kill normal people, instead she [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} will be "HIT RIGHT IN THE HEART!" and "will not succumb"]], temporarily becoming monochromatic and become immobile for a short while before recovering. How much time it takes for her to recover varies.]] |
| 29 | ** She is also immune to all other forms of corruption, but as a drawback, can't cure corruption in others. |
| 30 | * InformedAttribute: She has grey eyes that appear black due to the game's artstyle. |
| 31 | * LetsGetDangerous: When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKIIx2A4T-w she gets fed up]] with her [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} "Something"]], signified by a scream and her [[PaintingTheMedium emotion box]] changing from "Stressed Out" to "Furious". |
| 32 | * MagneticHero: It'd probably be easier to list off the characters she doesn't end up on good terms with. |
| 33 | * {{Meta G|uy}}irl: Often comments on the plot of the video she's currently in, and occasionally brings up her real-life youtube and twitch channels. |
| 34 | * PalsWithJesus: Tends to make friends wherever she goes, even with demons (Chris [[spoiler:and Sarvente]]), ghosts ([[spoiler:Garcello]]) and the Grim Reaper (King) |
| 35 | * PerpetualFrowner: With a few exceptions, this is her usual expression. |
| 36 | * PhraseCatcher: [[RunningGag 'Nice reference']] and 'Bet.' are most often said by her, but several other characters picked them up over time. |
| 37 | * TheSingingMute: Is selectively mute, but a more than capable singer once she gets behind a mic. |
| 38 | * TraumaButton: B.B calling her [[spoiler:'Little Lassie']] causes a brief flashback to the time when [[spoiler:Garcello died]]. |
| 39 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is very against the idea of car-surfing, but this doesn't stop her friends from making her do so every time a [[RoadTripPlot road trip ensues.]] |
| 40 | * YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler:Tells Taevia that everything will be okay and that she's on her side and will help her through her struggles.]] |

| 43 | [[folder:Senpai]] |
| 44 | ->From: VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin\\ |
| 45 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lad.png]] |
| 46 | A charming but otherwise ordinary high school teacher possessed by the Drip Spirit. Becomes one of T.C.'s dearest friends after being freed. |
| 47 | ---- |
| 48 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Takes centre stage for an arc when he meets [[TheCharmer one of his admirers]] at the school. |
| 49 | * AgeLift: In the canon game, he's 18 years old and a student at the high school he attends. But here, he's 25 and a teacher. |
| 50 | * AscendedExtra: He's only the focus of one week in ''Friday Night Funkin'' [[spoiler:and isn't present for all of it]], but here he's a main character and among T.C.'s closest friends. |
| 51 | * BishieSparkle: As part of his "perfect teacher" image. Mostly kept to his 32-bit sprites, but other characters lampshade it sometimes. |
| 52 | -->'''Tankman:''' "You go in and distract them with your thing that you do. Y'know, where you go all sparkly." |
| 53 | * CuteLittleFangs: He has one of these. |
| 54 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: It isn't just women that his charm has an effect on. |
| 55 | -->'''Senpai:''' Word travelled fast, and by the end of my first day [at school] I'd been confessed to by five girls and two guys. |
| 56 | * ExhaustedEyeBags: Gains them after a late night spend grading schoolwork. |
| 57 | * HeelRealization: Realizes early in the LORE series how unpleasant he had been and tries to start being kinder. |
| 58 | * HiddenDepths: In one video he reveals that he's a music teacher. |
| 59 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Does not come from Hating Simulator, but happens to be identical to the game's love interest. Supposably had the character designed after his likeness by the game's developers. |
| 60 | * NiceGuy: Unlike his original appearance where his kindness was likely a facade, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy in this series]] he's cheerful and friendly to nearly everyone. |
| 61 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: 'Senpai' is just a nickname that stuck around. He uses it to introduce himself since it's what most people already know him by. |
| 62 | * TookALevelInKindness: He's much more genuinely friendly after having the Drip Spirit removed from him, and gets along pretty well with most people. |
| 63 | [[/folder]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | [[folder:Tankman]] |
| 66 | ->From: WebAnimation/{{Tankmen}}\\ |
| 67 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tanklad.png]] |
| 68 | Sergeant John "Tankman" Captain of Website/{{Newgrounds}} fame. Vulgar but generally high-spirited, he occasionally meets up with the others through a mutual friendship with Senpai. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still as crass as he was in canon, but doesn't seem to aim his swearing at anyone in particular and is good friends with a few of the other characters. |
| 71 | * BystanderSyndrome: Doesn't try to stop Lia from going after T.C. because he assumes someone else will take care of it. |
| 72 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His real name is John Captain, but he's so well known as Tankman that it's what everyone uses. |
| 73 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Messes with Sky by calling her various synonyms for the sea. |
| 74 | -->'''Tankman:''' "Whatever you say, Ocean." |
| 75 | * TheNicknamer: "[[TheCharmer Pretty Boy]]" for Senpai, and "Mr. Cookies and Cream" for Ruv. Also uses "Mutey" for T.C., but less maliciously than DRIP SPIRIT does. |
| 76 | * OddFriendship: He's on pretty good terms with Senpai and Ruv, and often goes out drinking with them. |
| 77 | * OutOfFocus: Has the least screentime out of all the LORE FRIENDS. In fact, in recent episodes, he hasn't even appeared ''on-screen'' even if he's with the others, at least up until "Methal". |
| 78 | * ShipperOnDeck: Psychs up Ruv to ask out Sarvente, and later tries to talk him up to her when they hang out together. |
| 79 | * SirSwearsALot: Casually drops swear words when he talks, though not to the extent that DRIP SPIRIT does. |
| 80 | * StockCostumeTraits: Is a soldier in the military, who happens to never be seen without his uniform. |
| 81 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: With Sarvente. |
| 82 | * TheGadfly: Enjoys riling people up and giving them unwanted nicknames just for the sake of it, rather than because he has anything against them. |
| 83 | * TheTeamNormal: Among the LORE FRIENDS, everyone else has some kind of supernatural ability or is a supernatural being themselves. Tankman has a gun. |
| 84 | * WhatDidIDoLastNight: [[spoiler:When his identity gets stolen, he assumes he doesn't remember his name because of all he had to drink that night.]] |

| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Skylar]] |
| 88 | ->From: Original\\ |
| 89 | [[quoteright:257:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skylore.PNG]] |
| 90 | An alternate version of [[VideoGame/VsSky Sky]]. Has great powers controlled by her emotional state, but is just looking for friends. |
| 91 | ---- |
| 92 | * AbsurdPhobia: Bananas, in a reference to VideoGame/VSSky being removed from Gamebanana. |
| 93 | -->'''SOMETHING HEARTBREAKING:''' Hell, you can't even look at a banana without tearing up! |
| 94 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: As a result of having the chance to both find real friends and examine the way she acted in the past, she's much more laid back and there's almost no trace of her original personality in the series. |
| 95 | * AgeLift: To fit with her CharacterDevelopment leading her to become more mature, she's aged up from 19 to 22. |
| 96 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: The way her Manifest powers, well, manifest is quite disturbing, but Skylar herself just suffers from loneliness. After finding a group of friends to spend time with she becomes much more easygoing, and eventually works to control her emotions. |
| 97 | * BerserkButton: Calling her childish/a child reminds her of who she used to be before her CharacterDevelopment and is one of the few things that can cause her to lose her cool. |
| 98 | * CharacterDevelopment: Her entire arc after she's welcomed as a friend is focused on putting who she used to be behind her and working to become a better person. |
| 99 | ** Goes from running away whenever conflict happened, to being the one to face down Lia while everyone else escapes. |
| 100 | * TheCorruptible: [[spoiler:DRIP SPIRIT manages to take over]] when she's in an especially bad place. |
| 101 | * IHatePastMe: She really tries her best to move on from her dark and childish past. |
| 102 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Much of her acting out is for this reason, rather than any sort of malice. |
| 103 | * PurelyAestheticGlasses: Her shades have one purpose, which is looking cool. |
| 104 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Beating her [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} "SOMETHING"]] in a rap battle doesn't do anything, as deep-rooted mental trauma can't be removed so easily. The confrontation doesn't end with her defeating it, rather accepting that she'll need to move on and work to become a better person. |
| 105 | -->'''SOMETHING HEARTBREAKING:''' ...Was that supposed to prove something?\ |
| 106 | '''Skylar:''' I mean, kind of?\ |
| 107 | '''Skylar:''' I thought if I beat you in a song, that'd like, prove I could overcome you.\ |
| 108 | '''Skylar:''' [[MediumAwareness Then the story would advance to the next character arc.]] |
| 109 | * RealityWarper: Her powers let her alter the world like the code in a video game. Since that's exactly what it is, there isn't much of a limit to what she could do with them. |
| 110 | * ShipperOnDeck: Supports T.C.'s interest in Sarvente and effectively helps her have a practice date using the Manifest. |
| 111 | * StockCostumeTraits: Her calm attitude and love for jazz is emphasized by her outfit resembling that worn by mid-1900's beatniks, with her shades, black shirt, and black beret. |
| 112 | * SunglassesAtNight: And indoors, and... Well, always. |
| 113 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: How her powers take form when her emotions spiral out of control. |
| 114 | * TookALevelInBadass: Originally wasn't much for conflict and ran away when DRIP SPIRIT [[spoiler:possessed Sarvente]], but later she stands up for T.C. when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AlbT9I9Upo one of her dreams goes awry]]. |
| 115 | * TraumaButton: Being treated like a child, as she's made significant effort to put who she was in the past behind her. |
| 116 | * VisualDevelopment: When she decides to move on from her past, she makes herself taller with her Manifest powers to symbolize how she's not the same person she was in her source mod. |
| 117 | [[/folder]] |
| 118 | |
| 119 | [[folder:Cassette Girl]] |
| 120 | ->From: VideoGame/VsCassetteGirl\\ |
| 121 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/casgirl.png]] |
| 122 | A laid-back android girl T.C. encounters and befriends after finding her secret spot. |
| 123 | ---- |
| 124 | * MellowFellow: Very chill and friendly, able to befriend T.C. quite easily and give her assurance after [[spoiler:finding that Ruv and Sarvente started dating]]. |
| 125 | * SmokingIsCool: Always depicted with a cigarette, though unlikely harmed due to her [[RobotGirl being a robot]]. |
| 126 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Her fate after she's freed from DRIP Spirit's possession is unknown, most likely due to originally being PutOnABus after that due to real life reasons before being brought back. |
| 127 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Is told this by T.C., due to her personality and smoking habit being reminiscent to Garcello. |
| 128 | [[/folder]] |
| 129 | |
| 130 | !Antagonists/Villains |
| 131 | [[folder:Drip Spirit (Spoilers!)]] |
| 132 | ->From: Original\\ |
| 133 | [[quoteright:564:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dripspiritimage_1.PNG]] |
| 134 | An abrasive ghost possessing the body of Senpai. After being exorcised they repeatedly come back to cause trouble for T.C. and her friends. |
| 135 | ---- |
| 136 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether their Selever appearance just so happened to resemble Selever, or if they are actually possessing him. |
| 137 | * ArchEnemy: Comes to see T.C. as this, and goes out of their way to antagonize her more than anyone else. |
| 138 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Updike and Lia. |
| 139 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns with a new form some time after their original defeat. |
| 140 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Whatever they did had a huge impact on Taki, to the point she remembers DRIP by name and appearance, despite them having taken a new host. But when they meet in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sQHfoajrdc Red Flag]]'', DRIP doesn't recognize her. |
| 141 | * DemonicPossession: What they do to their victims, most notably Senpai, Sky, [[spoiler:Sarvente]], presumably Selever, and [[spoiler:Alexis]]. |
| 142 | * TheDreaded: As most of the main cast has had a run-in with DRIP SPIRIT, pretty much everyone except Ruv fears them. |
| 143 | * EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Shows a much more sincere side while spending time with [[spoiler:Alexis]], the first person in a position to show them kindness. Notably, the only time they seem to regret anything is when she's upset at finding out they're evil. |
| 144 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: After T.C. informs Drip Spirit of her orientation, when they assumed she was attracted to Senpai, they briefly break character to apologise to her. |
| 145 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: Finds a way to counter the song ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EyVYwt3nS4 Parish]]'' that was used to exorcise them. |
| 146 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Always calls T.C. "Mutey". |
| 147 | * MorphicResonance: Regardless of who they possess, Drip Spirit's host always wears a "By Any Means Necessary" hoodie, a "Supreme" shirt and SinisterShades. |
| 148 | * OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: DRIP is genderfluid, identifying with the gender and pronouns of whomever their host is. |
| 149 | * {{Retcon}}: Following the FanWorkBan on Mid-Fight Masses characters, Drip Spirit's Selever form has been scrapped, with TC planning to replace it with an original form. |
| 150 | * SirSwearsALot: Is the most foul-mouthed member of the cast, with the possible exception of WebAnimation/{{Tankm|en}}an. |
| 151 | * SunglassesAtNight: Always wears a pair of CoolShades in whatever form they've taken. |
| 152 | [[/folder]] |
| 153 | |
| 154 | [[folder:Lia]] |
| 155 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lia_0.png]] |
| 156 | An obsessive stalker who puts on a caring facade before revealing her true self when alone. Assaulting and kidnapping are fair game for her, as long as she gets to keep her "love"... |
| 157 | ---- |
| 158 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To T.C., who quickly becomes one of the only people to find out how crazy she really is. |
| 159 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Updike and Drip Spirit. |
| 160 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: When in public she keeps up appearances well enough to fit in at a party, but alone with her victims she's much more maniacal and dangerous. |
| 161 | * BullyingADragon: Is quick to threaten anyone who gets in the way of her "love", even if they're demons or reality warpers. |
| 162 | * ConsummateLiar: As part of her ability to manipulate others, she lies so naturally that nobody has reason to doubt her. [[spoiler:She uses this to get Updike on her side, by claiming that T.C. is her kidnapped neighbor.]] |
| 163 | * CuteButPsycho: Which she uses to her advantage to make most people drop their guard around her. |
| 164 | * StalkerWithACrush: Usually with emphasis on 'stalker'. |
| 165 | * TheSocialExpert: Despite her real nature as a psychotic stalker she's able to fit in a group just fine without them noticing anything's wrong, and [[https://youtu.be/xqON0gDwSNg?t=181 easily plays others to get what she wants out of them]]. |
| 166 | * VillainTeamup: Works with Updike to get Ruv out of the way, despite being dangerous enough to be one of his targets if he knew about her. |
| 167 | * WalkingSpoiler: Not much can be said about her without revealing the kind of person she really is. |
| 168 | * {{Yandere}}: More than willing to threaten and hurt the object of her affection if it means keeping them around. Her first appearance has her attacking T.C. on the street and kidnapping her. |
| 169 | [[/folder]] |

| 171 | [[folder:Updike]] |
| 172 | ->From: VideoGame/VSWhitty\\ |

| 174 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his older appearance]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neutralspecialgun.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 175 | Gabriel Updike is the leader of a taskforce that hunts monsters and other perceived threats. While his original target was Whitty, in this series he's mainly after Ruv and comes into conflict with T.C. and her friends in the process of tracking him down. |
| 176 | ---- |
| 177 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Always seen in a [[VillainInAWhiteSuit white suit]], emphasizing his coldly professional demeanor. |
| 178 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "It's for the greater good." |
| 179 | * CrazyPrepared: When he sees T.C. speaking in sign language, he starts signing back without missing a beat. |
| 180 | * EnemyCompassion: [[spoiler:Allows Radi to escape temporarily with a ring that prevents radiation sickness.]] |
| 181 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's a ruthless hunter willing to threaten civilians in the process of finding his targets... [[spoiler:and a capable, caring dad to his daughter, Cloud.]] |
| 182 | * HiddenDepths: Is quite good at ballet, shown when he dodges [[spoiler:Rosie's]] gunfire with a series of pirouettes. |
| 183 | * KnightOfCerebus: Unlike most other antagonists in the series, he has nothing in the way of comedic or exaggerated traits and things tend to turn serious whenever he appears, most notably [[spoiler:during the confrontation at the church where he shoots Ruv while trying to apprehend him]]. |
| 184 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Sarvente [[spoiler:turns into a demon]] to defend the church from him and Lia, he decides to run away while everyone is distracted instead of fight her, knowing he's outmatched. |
| 185 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: Episodes that focus on him show that he's this in comparison the likes of DRIP Spirit and Lia, as noted through his interactions with [[spoiler:Cloud]]. |
| 186 | * MoralMyopia: His organisation's goal is to contain the potentially dangerous abnormal/anomalous people and creatures, just as long as his [[spoiler:weather bending daughter]] has nothing to do with it. |
| 187 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Exemplified by him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynv0MPfQb7Y pulling out a gun]] in the middle of ''Improbable Outset''. |
| 188 | ** In the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Gv8WxsEaA Takeover]]'' video, he actually [[spoiler:shoots Ruv]] in the middle of ''Zavodila''. |
| 189 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After seeing [[spoiler:Sarvente transform into a demon]], he decides to run away rather than continue trying to apprehend Ruv. |
| 190 | * ShameIfSomethingHappened: Is willing to deliver threats in this way. |
| 191 | -->'''Updike''' (to T.C.): "You seem like a pleasant enough young woman. Many years ahead of you. I wouldn't want you to come across any misfortune." |
| 192 | * ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: After rap battling T.C., Senpai, and Fever over a mysterious box both parties are after, Updike [[DramaticAmmoDepletion runs out of ammo]]. In a last effort to cause the group harm, he unsuccessfully throws it, only to have it caught by Fever. |
| 193 | * PulledFromYourDayOff: "Imminent Demise" has him take a break from work to spend time with [[spoiler:Cloud]], but Smiler ruins those plans by revealing he escaped containment. |
| 194 | * SureLetsGoWithThat: When noted that Smiler was knocked out by electrocution in "Questionable", Kofi thinks it was because Updike used tazers, and he goes with it. In an AsideComment, Updike all but states what actually happened was that [[spoiler:Cloud used lightning to electrocute Smiler]], but he believes no one needs to know about that. |
| 195 | * VillainTeamup: Works with Lia due to their mutual goal of removing Ruv from the picture, despite her definitely being someone he would want to take out if he knew her true nature. |
| 196 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: The targets he hunts down ''are'' dangerous, but not always particularly bad people, with Whitty and Ruv being the main examples. He's also willing to threaten civilians for information if necessary, and has no qualms about following through if they aren't cooperative. |
| 197 | * WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Inverted in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Gv8WxsEaA Takeover]]'' as Ruv starts singing ''Zavodila'' while preparing to fight, [[spoiler:and then Updike stops him short with a shot to the leg]]. He also tries to shoot Smiler throughout "Underground", though unlike Ruv, Smiler is able to dodge every shot. |

| 200 | [[folder:Zardy and Cablecrow]] |
| 201 | Living scarecrows who attack TC on Halloween when she accidentally enters their maze whilst trying to make it home from the tavern. |
| 202 | ---- |
| 203 | * OneShotCharacter: Have yet to appear outside of ''Bushwhack''. |
| 204 | * ScaryScarecrows |
| 205 | [[/folder]] |
| 206 | |
| 207 | [[folder:Smiler]] |
| 208 | A Trollge who has been contained by The Greater Good. |
| 209 | ---- |
| 210 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Lacks the remorse over his actions from his home series and "The Blueballs Incident", acting more like a standard Trollge. |
| 211 | * AdoptionDiss: Constantly doubts the validity of Cloud being [[spoiler:Updike]]'s daughter, causing [[spoiler:Updike]] to become increasingly agitated by them. |
| 212 | * BrownNote: Has cognitohazardous abilities, the effects of which currently unknown, which causes the screen to distort during songs. |
| 213 | * HannibalLecture: Every line he speaks is him trying to get under Updike's skin, in the form of questioning his actions and attempting to convince him that if [[spoiler:Cloud]] found out about his actions, she wouldn't be happy with him. Updike is [[ShutUpHannibal having none of it]], but at the same time he's also trying to restrain himself from lashing out, meaning that Smiler's words are getting to him somewhat. |
| 214 | * GreatEscape: Manages to escape The Greater Good's custody, which leads to Updike having to deal with them, despite [[PulledFromYourDayOff having planned to take the day off]]. This doesn't last, as it's revealed in "Questionable" that Updike was [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome able to subdue him]], allowing him to be recontained. |

| 220 | A malevolent entity representing a person from T.C.'s past. A resident of [[spoiler:BLACK SPACE]]. |
| 221 | ---- |
| 222 | * AllThereInTheManual: He only implies a connection to T.C. when he first appears, but the [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/856889071715221515/882457244422250576/Updated_LORE_Chart.png LORE character chart]] has him listed as "Sinister Sibling". |

| 228 | The manifestation of Skylar's inner trauma, subconsciously brought to life by her powers. |

| 232 | -->"Are you sure you don't want to catch up to Lia? You two could be best pals." |
| 233 | * OutOfFocus: Mostly leaves the story after Skylar makes peace with herself, but has a short appearance in [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a0LhjybPuw8 Manifest LORE-Fi]] [[spoiler:when Skylar enters her Manifest form]], though by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLf4LanZl6g Mask Off]], she's back in full swing due to Skylar not being careful with her powers. |
| 234 | * ATruceWhileWeGawk: Is temporarily shocked by Ski's singing in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNnRkNc8Z5o Zanta]] along with Skylar, before sheepishly saying they should get back on track. |

| 237 | [[folder:Marco]] |
| 238 | A self-proclaimed Evil Genius who accidentally brings T.C. to his lab with his teleporter. |
| 239 | ---- |
| 240 | * ArtShift: After T.C. is brought to his lab, the art-style changes to that of Marco's mod of origin, "Friday Night Villainy". |
| 241 | * CardCarryingVillain: Openly refers to himself as an evil genius. |
| 242 | * DastardlyWhiplash: Dressed in a black-and-green ensemble with a cape and has a thin, curly mustache, all fitting his evil genius nature. |
| 243 | * DenserAndWackier: He's the most comedic out of all the antagonists in the series, not having a single hint of being serious. |
| 244 | * IMeantToDoThat: When his teleporter brings T.C. to his lab, he's at first surprise that it worked, but then quickly rephrases that "OF COURSE it works". |
| 245 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: His color scheme is primarily black and green. |
| 246 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Sports a pair of spikes on each sleeve. |
| 247 | * VillainousRescue: Accidental example. His testing of his teleporter allows T.C. to get away from [[spoiler:Lia]]. |
| 248 | [[/folder]] |
| 249 | |
| 250 | [[folder:Aileen]] |
| 251 | Marco's assistant, who sports more common sense than him. |
| 252 | ---- |
| 253 | * AffablyEvil: Acts much more polite and professional towards others than her boss. |
| 254 | * HyperCompetentSidekick: Is more knowledgable with the teleporter than Marco. |
| 255 | * PetTheDog: Recalibrates the teleporter to allow T.C. to leave, sparing her from any more of Marco's antics. This happens off-screen, with the episode following her and Marco's second appearance starts with T.C. reunited with Senpai, and it had to be clarified via WordOfGod how she got back. |

| 262 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Sees himself as superior to Senpai in every way. |
| 263 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Calls Senpai "Paisen". |
| 264 | * ExhaustedEyeBags: Shown having them, though currently for unknown reasons. |
| 265 | * {{Jerkass}}: His most defining trait. Every word that comes out of his mouth is for the sole purpose of getting under Senpai's skin. |
| 266 | * MistakenForCouple: Seeing Senpai and T.C. together, his immediate assumption is that they're dating, even though they keep trying to tell them that they're not and that T.C. is lesbian. When they finally manage to tell him, he drops the assumptions, though then moves on to teasing Senpai about how Senpai used to be attracted to him. |
| 267 | * RedHerring: At one point, Zakk talks about having "DRIP", which causes T.C. to DoubleTake and start thinking that he might have a connection to DRIP Spirit, but this ultimately goes nowhere. |
| 268 | * SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Had bullied Senpai while the two were in high school, but is quick to continue doing so when he recognises him years later. |

| 299 | * DefeatEqualsFriendship: After being beaten in a rap battle, she makes T.C. an honorary member of her gang. |
| 300 | * FlowerMotifs: Roses and the toxic Belladonna, referencing her status as a dangerous sniper and gang member hidden under her general friendliness. The latter is even the name of both her gang and the business she runs. |
| 301 | * FriendlySniper: Outside of a conflict she gets along with just about anyone. Even when her territory is crossed she'll make a considerable effort to avoid violence against someone who isn't a threat. |

| 309 | A nun who takes interest in the church where Sarvente and Ruv live. Normally polite and formal, but overzealously tries to destroy anything she sees as unholy. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * AmbiguousGenderIdentity: It's not particularly self-evident, but Taki is bigender and uses two sets of pronouns. |
| 312 | * BerserkButton: Anything evil or unholy. [[spoiler:His tone towards Sarvente changes from friendly to murderous the moment he finds out she's a demon.]] |
| 313 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns in "Your Demise EX" after an extended absence when Skylar convinces her to fight Midnight. |
| 314 | * ChainsawGood: Unless you're an "evil" being, as [[spoiler:Sarvente]] happens to find out. |
| 315 | * HeelFaceTurn: Is hostile to [[spoiler:Sarvente, who is a demon]], but eventually realizes that she means no harm and stops attacking. |
| 316 | * ICallItVera: Her chainsaw has a name, Hector. |
| 317 | * MementoMacGuffin: Seemingly subverted, as the important item she wants from her old church [[spoiler:is simply a rubber duck from her childhood called Dukki]]. |
| 318 | * RedHerring: Him saying the phrase "By any means necessary" while threatening [[spoiler:Sarvente]] might bring DRIP SPIRIT to mind, but it's a coincidence and he's an unrelated character. |
| 319 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He is looking to do good in the world by removing evil demons and other sources of corruption. Unfortunately his methods tend to be over the top, and don't have much consideration for ''good'' demons. |

| 326 | ---- |
| 327 | * AgeLift: She appears to be older than her ''VideoGame/FriendlyNightFunkin'' counterpart. |
| 328 | * BadFuture: The world she came from is implied to not be a very good place. |
| 329 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's usually all smiles, but when she finds out DRIP SPIRIT isn't such a great person she tears into them. |
| 330 | * BreakTheCutie: Learning the truth about her first friend in a while breaks her usually-carefree attitude in a hurry. |
| 331 | * EtTuBrute: After Alexis finds out about DRIP SPIRIT's true nature, it is presumed that DRIP SPIRIT decides to take advantage of her emotional stage by [[spoiler:possessing her]]. |
| 332 | * FaceFramedInShadow: When she first appears, and also when she's [[BewareTheNiceOnes angry or upset]]. |
| 333 | * MoralityPet: Her positive attitude leads to DRIP SPIRIT being slightly less antagonistic when she's around. |
| 334 | * NiceGirl: Showing unconditional kindness even to someone as abrasive as DRIP SPIRIT qualifies her as this. |
| 335 | * OnlyFriend: To DRIP SPIRIT. It's implied they might be her only ([[BadFuture remaining]]) friend as well. |

| 348 | Tanner (Left) and Marie (right) are a pair of quarreling ghosts that Senpai and Sky meet in an old concert hall. Sky is able to bring them back to life, and they quickly become acquainted with the rest of the group. |
| 349 | ---- |
| 350 | * AndIMustScream: By the sound of it, them fusing into Tanrie is horribly unpleasant. |
| 351 | -->"Th-Their thoughts... are so loud!"\ |
| 352 | "I s-shouldn't be heahearing thithis!" |
| 353 | * BackFromTheDead: Skylar turns them back into humans with her Manifest abilities. |
| 354 | * BodyHorror: They appear to start melting as their argument gets more heated, and after their first song they fuse together into a single mismatched body. |
| 355 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Having been dead since the 1900s, they've yet to understand what kind of music people listen to in the 21st century. Fortunately for them, Senpai is a music teacher and more than happy to give them lessons. |
| 356 | * FogFeet: When they're ghosts. |
| 357 | * NiceGuy/[[NiceGirl Girl]]: Both of them easily fit into the friend group because of how friendly they are. Marie especially seems to qualify, as she goes out of her way to make sure everyone feels noticed and welcomed, and easily cheers up T.C. when she's feeling down. |
| 358 | * ThePollyanna: They both keep positive outlooks even after being stuck as ghosts, especially Marie. |
| 359 | -->'''Marie:''' If you don't have hope, what's left? |
| 360 | * RedOniBlueOni: Though they're both cheerful after being brought back to life, Marie is enthusiastic while Tanner is more polite. |
| 361 | * SiblingRivalry: As ghosts they're constantly fighting over how to either come back to life or move on. Once they actually are brought back they're on much, '''much''' better terms with each other. |
| 362 | * SiblingYinYang: Invoked by their designs as much as their personalities. |
| 363 | * YouAreNotAlone: Marie says this to T.C. regarding her trauma history. |

| 371 | ---- |
| 372 | * CompanionCube: Her squeaky duck: Jerome. |
| 373 | * DimensionalTraveler: She's eventually revealed to have been travelling through time and space to find alternate versions of Sky. She wasn't going alone either, as she was accompanied by Skyblue, but they were seperated when Taki found Skilor. |
| 374 | * FunSize: She's a chibi version of Sky (Skylar in this case), and Taki takes an instant liking to her. |
| 375 | * IntelligibleUnintelligible: Subverted, as she actually talks through signing and her 'Mow's are seemingly just noises. |
| 376 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: The same kind as Skylar, naturally. |

| 383 | ---- |
| 384 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally polite and sweet, but when upset, she may use her dangerous weather powers. First demonstrated in an episode where she uses her powers to [[spoiler:[[ParentsInDistress keep Updike from getting hurt]]]] by Smiler. |
| 385 | * BullyMagnet: She gets bullied a lot in school, which is likely why she is a {{new transfer student}}. |
| 386 | * HappilyAdopted: She has nothing but love for her father, [[spoiler:Updike]]. |
| 387 | * MeaningfulName: Named "Cloud", while also possessing weather based abilities. Additionally, due to her first and middle name (in LORE) being "Cloud Nine", it also matches her personality. |
| 388 | * MissingMom: There's no sign of her mother when her life at home is focused on. |
| 389 | * PrecociousCrush: On Senpai. Senpai himself is uncomfortable about it due to being her teacher, and does his best to let her down gently. |
| 390 | * WeatherManipulation: Has the power to control the weather. First shown using it to strike [[spoiler:Smiler]] with a bolt of lightning. |
| 391 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: Because of [[spoiler:Updike]]'s job, Cloud often doesn't have the chance to spend time with him, even to the point where she just expects it. |

| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | * MistakenIdentity: When he first sees her, Senpai mistakes Skyblue for Lia, due to their similar attire. He's quick to drop the suspicions once she properly introduces herself. TC briefly has the same suspicions when Ski describes Skyblue to her. |
| 398 | * NiceGuy: Ski describes Skyblue as being very sweet. |
| 399 | * PerpetualFrowner: Skyblue has mostly appeared solely in her normal "NEET" form, with her more well known "Raised" form having not surfaced until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6nhe8r44gM Fuzzy Feeling]]. In "NEET" form, she's never shown smiling. |
| 400 | * ShipTease: There are small hints of her having a crush on Senpai in each of her appearances, and the majority of her screentime is with him since he was the first character to interact with her other than Ski and Skylar requests that he keep her company starting from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2IIp8Pq7zM Toyboy]]. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6nhe8r44gM Fuzzy Feeling]], her famous "Raised" form surfaces, indicating she just might start to act on those feelings. |

| 414 | * NiceGirl: Kofi states that Kyu's nice one they get to know her, and so far that seems to be true during her interactions with Updike. |
| 415 | * StepfordSmiler: She maintains a very upbeat demeanor for most of her screentime, but as she talks about her dad and how much she misses him, it's clear she's hurting. |
| 416 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: It's been a while since she's last seen her dad due to him having been focusing more on his work. |
| 417 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Is told this by Updike, in that her chipperly saying that she'll be on her best behavior is reminiscent of [[spoiler:Cloud]]. In "Lament", she delivers one of her own to Updike, in saying that his facility reminds her of the place her dad works at. |

| 423 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: She told the wizard's guild she could perform a spell of necromancy due to her really wanting to join the guild, but it's clear she can't pull it off alone. |
| 424 | * TemptingFate: Believes that summoning a wight or some other vengeful spirit via the necromancy spell "probably" won't happen, which has T.C. understandably nervous about going through with the spell. Ultimately averted, as the spirit they bring back is [[spoiler:Garcello]]. |
| 425 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Accidentally trips in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yimnNzjT5PM Flourish Flower]] causing the Life Runes she has to slip out of her hands and bring a zombie version of Lily Engrave back to life. |

| 488 | * [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Shown when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmkT4M6Kgb8 she goes out drinking with Tankman]]. |
| 489 | -->'''Tankman:''' "Steady on, [[TheNicknamer McFlurry]]! Haven't you only had two Chocolate Saturdays?" |
| 490 | * EvilMeScaresMe: Her greatest fear is [[spoiler:her own demon form]], which she tries to keep under wraps whenever possible. |
| 491 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rej_G2RVa3k remastered Nekofreak video]]: |
| 492 | -->'''Sarvente:''' "Now, what's up? You looked pretty stressed out back there."\ |
| 493 | '''T.C.:''' [[UsefulNotes/SignedLanguage [Oh, you could tell?]]]\ |
| 494 | '''Sarvente:''' The [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} flashing black box that read "STRESSED OUT"]] was a pretty good indication. |
| 495 | * ObliviousToLove: Seemingly doesn't notice T.C.'s attraction to her, even when [[EveryoneCanSeeIt other people do]]. [[SubvertedTrope On the other hand]], in "Cliche", when Ruv decides to confess his own attraction to her, Sarv admits that she knew all along and she was waiting for him to spit it out. |
| 496 | * PutOnABus: Due to the FanWorkBan on usage of the Mid-Fight Masses characters, Sarvente would make her final appearance in the series in "Parish [=LOREmix=]" alongside Ruv. In-universe, their departure is because they see themselves as {{Doom Magnet}}s and don't want their friends to get hurt because of that. |
| 497 | * StatuesqueStunner: Stands well above most other characters at 7'5, [[spoiler:possibly because she's a demon]]. |
| 498 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Is this with Tankman moreso than any two others in the friend group, to the point where one story arc is started largely to get them to spend more time together. |
| 499 | * TraumaButton: The sight of [[spoiler:Ruv holding Updike at gunpoint]] in ''Down Bad'' leaves her catatonic. |

| 503 | ->From: VideoGame/MidFightMasses\\ |
| 504 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruvbruv.png]] |
| 505 | A close friend of Sarvente. Tends to be reserved and distrustful around anyone else. |
| 506 | ---- |
| 507 | * BrilliantButLazy: Could easily stop most conflict before it goes anywhere, but tends to stay out of it unless himself or Sarvente are involved. |
| 508 | * DeusExitMachina: Usually unavailable whenever a threat like DRIP SPIRIT appears, as he'd likely be able to stop them without much effort. |
| 509 | * EmbarrassingNickname: T.C. calls him "Ruv the Bruv", to his chagrin. |
| 510 | * HiddenDepths: Enjoys knitting as a hobby, and is quite good at it. Also shown to have an interest in baking, and spends one episode with T.C. gathering apples for a pie. |
| 511 | * InformedAttractiveness: Tankman makes a point of talking up his looks to Sarvente [[ShipperOnDeck while trying to get them together]]. |
| 512 | * InterruptedDeclarationOfLove: It's implied he was going to make one to Sarvente in ''Takeover'' [[spoiler:before Updike and Lia arrived at the church]]. By the time of "Cliche", he [[spoiler:finally gets the chance to confess his feelings for her]]. |
| 513 | * IntrovertedCatPerson: According to Sarvente, whenever he's brought to a party he avoids all the guests and looks for the nearest pet cat. |
| 514 | * NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Gives a short but threatening speech to [[EnemyMine Updike and Lia]] in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Gv8WxsEaA Takeover]]'' [[spoiler:and then Updike just shoots him in the leg mid-song]]. |
| 515 | * OddFriendship: Respects WebAnimation/{{Tankm|en}}an for being able to keep up with him in drinking and regularly goes out to the bar with him. |
| 516 | * PutOnABus: Due to the FanWorkBan on usage of the Mid-Fight Masses characters, Ruv would make his final appearance in the series in "Parish [=LOREmix=]" alongside Sarvente. In-universe, their departure is because they see themselves as {{Doom Magnet}}s and don't want their friends to get hurt because of that. |
| 517 | * SpockSpeak: As english is his second language, he tends to speak formally with more words than usual, and no contractions. |
| 518 | * TheComicallySerious: Responds to even the most absurd situations, such as DRIP SPIRIT, with the same lack of humor. At one point he calls T.C. 'Cupcake that is Tactical' with a completely straight face. |
| 519 | * TheStoic: He takes on a measured politeness around most people who aren't Sarvente, which he only drops [[LetsGetDangerous when he starts singing]]. |
| 520 | * TranquilFury: Never changes his tone, even when delivering {{implied death threat}}s. |

| 535 | ---- |
| 536 | * AloneWithThePsycho: While [[spoiler:Updike]] isn't completely defenseless against him, Radi is no pushover when the two duke it out. |
| 537 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Wants Lofie to be unaware of his current whereabouts to keep her safe from his radioactive powers. |
| 538 | * PutOnABus: Given the controversy surrounding the creator, Lofie and Radi were ultimately cast out of the series with Lofie moving away. |
