A variety of factions of characters in Annoying Villagers.
Main Protagonists
Mr Fudge Monkeyz
A simple-minded player who stole the villagers' potatoes and gets chased down for it. However, a drastic turn of events forces him to work with Boop.
- Author Avatar: Of the channel's owner.
- Noob: How he's normally presented. For starters, the potatoes he stole fill his entire inventory when he could have stacked them instead.
Boop
A purple-robed villager who decides to befriend MrFudgeMonkeyz. They would go on a journey together to learn how to save the world.
- Almighty Idiot: He starts to become this not long after picking up the items dropped by Chris when he was freed from Herobrine's control. When Notch uses his body as a vessel to fight off Herobrine, it becomes clear that Boop's potential would have allowed him to destroy Herobrine all on his own.
- Dance-Off: He's a huge fan of dance battles, to the point where he wishes they can solve any conflict.
- Really Royalty Reveal: When Alex and Jev run into FudgeMonkeyz and Boop, Jev recognizes Boop as a prince from the the Villager Kingdom from the way he talked. How did he know it was him? Turns out Jev happened to work in the same district that Boop was in charge of before he vanished.
Green
A "nitwit" villager who later finds himself in the Villager Kingdom for unknown reasons.
- Kindhearted Cat Lover: Usually seen holding a yellow cat in his hands, though it was initially Boop who was holding it.
White
A "Librarian" villager who's close friends with Green and Boop. Unfortunately, he would be captured not long after coming into contact with Villager Scouts.
- No Name Given: Unlike his two villager friends, his name isn't actually given.
Steve
"My name is Steve. And I have come... to destroy Herobrine."
A player whose main goal is to avenge his friends after they were killed and converted by Herobrine's minions.- Fatal Flaw:
- Despite how vicious the world had become, there is almost never a point where he isn't questioning why everyone else is constantly fighting rather than negotiating with each other. His insistence that they stop fighting usually ends with him getting defeated, and later forced to work under the Blue Demon for a brief time.
- After being invited to the Creators' game, he realizes that it was designed to encourage teamwork, and is forced to acknowledge that there are times that he will need to be helped by others and not vice versa, even if that help comes from incompetent zombies that he saw no potential in.
- Heroic BSoD: Losing his friends was bad enough, but then he ran into Villager Knights for the first time, who willingly killed themselves instead of telling him anything about their kingdom. From that point, he's forced to acknowledge that Nothing Is the Same Anymore and that he had entered a world where everyone became He Who Fights Monsters."I didn't ask for this. I didn't want this to happen. I never wanted to kill anyone, I just wanted to play Minecraft. In that very moment I realized something: in order to deal with monsters, you yourself must become a monster, a monster that you hate. The very thing you are seeking to destroy. Yes, there's absolutely no middle ground. I didn't choose this life, this life... it chose me. I was forced into this. I don't... I don't want this... I don't want to do..."
- The Hero: One of the first people that Notch asks to help save the world.
- Trauma Conga Line: To start from the beginning, he got stranded from his Brainwashed and Crazy friends, was unconscious long enough to not learn about the Villager Kingdom until he was far away from MrFudgeMonkeyz and Boop, gets into another fight with Grave, eventually gets killed by the Illager King, and made to obey the Blue Demon's orders since the latter took his items after he was killed.
Mustard
"When I return, I shall destroy you and everything you love will turn to dust!"
A blue-robed villager who was exiled from the Villager Kingdom, though he's later shown to have many connections since then. He seems to seek vengeance against the kingdom for ostracizing him.- The Beastmaster: Can summon a seemingly indefinite number of golems to protect him, and they don't have to be made from iron.
- Black Cloak: Replaces his blue robes for black ones not long after Herobrine begins to hunt him down.
- Connected All Along: While he was initially a villager noble, he's come across many other characters throughout his life, including Herobrine, Notch, Blue Demon, and even Steve.
- The Exile: He was charged with treason and sentenced to be exiled for questioning the other nobles for not inviting friendly players to join their cause.
- Sanity Slippage: Being kicked out of the kingdom was only the start of this, since it only proved his belief that the villagers had become as arrogant as the players who hunted them. Then Herobrine showed up, and though he worked with him for a while, he realized that this white-eyed person wasn't actually making the conflict any better. He only got slightly better after Notch convinces him to turn against Herobrine.
Chris
One of two players whom Steve decided to train as his partners in the past, though they were later turned into Herobrine's first vessels in a mission Gone Horribly Wrong.
- The Alliance: Chris decides to form a group named this after barely escaping the Resistance's wrath. Rather than attacking any and all villagers like the Resistance, it serves as a coalition of any villagers, mobs, and players who come to share Chris' goals for world peace.
- All-Loving Hero: While Steve would usually resort to violence if an enemy can't be reasoned with, Chris never stopped trying to negotiate with Grave, even when the latter had TNT-cannons ready to fire at him and the Wandering Trader he was trying to protect. His attitude towards the world is also what convinces Jimmy to defect from the Villager Kingdom.
- You Are Number 6: Serves as part of an early Wham Line revealing that there's more than one Herobrine, in which a possessed Chris is referred to as...Witch: Herobrine number three... has been destroyed.
The Villager Kingdom
General
- The Dog Bites Back: The kingdom would form when villagers gained enough intelligence and strength to properly fight back against players who kept mistreating them.
- The Empire: They've grown rapidly thanks to the updates strongly favoring them, with newer items becoming restricted to their trading system and the players' respawn mechanic altered to put them closer to areas with more entities, and by consequence, more villagers. At some point, Blue Demon even compares them to a virus.
- Godzilla Threshold: They use color-coded fireworks as distress signals. If a black firework is launched, that's taken as a request to throw everything they got at wherever the firework is located.
- He Who Fights Monsters: Later episodes make it painfully obvious that they've gone to horrifying extremes to ensure victory over the players. The nobles in charge would demand absolute purity and refuse help from players that could have otherwise joined their cause, kick out villagers who questioned their methods, and even go as far as to destroy any villages that had peaceful interactions with players beforehand. Long story short, they've become the very monsters they sought to defend themselves from.
- Just Following Orders: So much that they'll gladly give up their life just to get more help. Steve doesn't take this well.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: It's later revealed that the nobles who work for their king are allowed to explain the war at their own discretion, meaning the king likely didn't even know how badly it has escalated.
- Those Were Only Their Scouts: Despite dishing out a Curb-Stomp Battle to Herobrine when he first shows up, Villager Scouts are mostly meant to explore the world and connect stranded villages to the kingdom. The real army consists of Villager Knights, golems, and many passive mobs.
The Villager King
A villager who was apparently born with the ability to trade dirt for diamonds, so his people made him king for it.
- Body Double: An "observation" that Dinnerbone shows Steve reveals three versions of the king sitting on identical thrones, with a player asking which one he's being forced to bow to. Played with since Dinnerbone points out that this is just a possibility that may or may not happen in the future or past.
- Disproportionate Retribution: From what little we actually see of him, he has a tendency to throw people into the death chamber for petty reasons.
- Orcus on His Throne: His supposed value makes him too valuable to ever set foot outside his kingdom, if not his castle.
The Resistance
General
A growing player tribe that has dedicated itself to destroying the Villager Kingdom, though they would later face opposition from other forces as well.
- La Résistance: They serve as this to the Villager Kingdom, ambushing Villager Scouts and gathering power in the hopes of eventually attacking their king.
- The Phoenix: After a schism that led to the Alliance's creation, they came to use this as their theme, representing their shared desire to return to glory as the most powerful entities of the world.
Grave
X_Grave_X
A vengeful player who would eventually become the leader of the Resistance. He comes to blows with Steve many times because of their differing beliefs.- A Father to His Men: Doesn't take it well when one of his teammates ends up sacrificing himself to stop Herobrine from killing him. They only ever fought because Herobrine was wandering on their territory, but now It's Personal.
- Blood Knight: His main specialty is PvP. Naturally, he enjoys the many fights he gets into with his enemies.
- Evil Gloating: Grave got too caught up in this the first time he fights Herobrine, allowing the latter to severely injure him before both are able to retreat.
- Social Darwinist: He strongly believes that the strongest players should decide how the game is played, something that never sits well with Steve.
Greg
A skilled player working in the Resistance under Grave. Unfortunately for the latter, Greg is in reality a vessel for Herobrine's forces, and more importantly an old friend of Steve.
- The Mole: Serves as this for Herobrine. One other player eavesdropped on a conversation he had with some zombies, but merely assumed that it was another player tribe since the "white-eyed demon" wasn't at large yet.
The Creators
General
The entities in charge of overseeing the world and its players. They are also the ones that Steve and many others answer to.
Notch
The main Creator of the world.
- God's Hands Are Tied: For whatever reason, the world's changes have caused it to fade from his control to some degree, making it hard for him to manifest without a proper vessel. Fortunately, Boop works just fine as a vessel long enough for them to take down Herobrine's vessel together in Episode 36.
- Placid Plane of Ankle-Deep Water: How his domain is presented when speaking with Boop and MrFudgeMonkeyz.
Jeb
Another Creator who prefers to watch the world without interfering with it.
Dinnerbone
A Creator who becomes more prominent in later episodes. He tries to help Steve find himself when he started to feel lost in the war's destruction.
- Everyone Has Standards: While he likes to give mobs and players the power to make their own choices, he draws the line when Entity303 tries to force Steve to change his perspective.
Herobrine's Faction
General
An army of mobs that serve under Herobrine, though some of them seem incompetent if not outright unwilling to fight.
- Elite Mook: Zombies that are smart enough to act as leaders wear red shirts instead of blue.
- It Can Think: Among the first examples in the series. Naturally, Steve is distraught that he and his two allies could ever be ambushed by mobs that should have been easy to deal with.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Some of the lesser mobs have this mindset when they're told to fight players, with some zombies deciding they're not interested in fighting Steve or MrFudgeMonkeyz later on.
- This Cant Be: The witch who was assigned to hunt down Boop and MrFudgeMonkeyz to reclaim some of Herobrine's items has this reaction when Boop suddenly uses powers that only Herobrine should be capable of.
Herobrine
A bizarre entity whose powers make him on par with the Creators themselves.
- Hive Mind: It's shown that each instance of him can transfer information to each other, making him stronger in general the more players he converts.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Most of Herobrine's vessels can do this by extending long strips of fence-shaped obsidian into enemies.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": His vessels have this when they realize his plan to infiltrate the Resistance and have more equipment handed to them is ruined by Blue Demon, who left behind tridents knowing they would be picked up. He then used his Trident Festival attack to detonate every trident, wiping out many vessels at once, while leaving the Resistance crippled by destroying their desert base.
- Rejected by the Empathic Weapon: Later versions of Herobrine are seen holding purple, twitching weapons. Considering that some items started to come to life around this time, it's implied by Woopie that they scream because they can't stop Herobrine from using them in battle.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Episode 51 suggests that he, like many other leading antagonists is this, since he grew tired of watching players fight and not find more satisfying ways to play the game. Thus, he decided to make the world more aggressive hoping to force the players to stop fighting each other, even if they come to see him as a villain."I offered my help over and over again, yet I was rejected every time. You cannot understand how wrong you are because all you know is being wrong. So I will help you. I will force my help on you even if you reject me. Even if you don't understand. Isn't this the responsibility of having power?"
The United Mob Association
General
A growing organization of mobs from various sources, seeking to put an end to the war. However, it would seem that their leader is aiming somewhere higher...
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Many of the mobs are revealed to have started out as ordinary creatures before they developed unique powers, with the biggest example being their leader, Blue Demon.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: They're mobs with a variety of unique abilities.
The Blue Demon Unmarked Spoilers
A Drowned zombie who can wield multiple tridents in battle and detonate them at will. He's the founder of the Mob Association and plans to end the war through his own means.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: After respawning Steve in a desert, he explains that he was spawned in a mob dropper, a structure built around a spawner to grind resources from mobs in such a manner that they fall from water. He would struggle against the water for a long time before Herobrine finally found him and took him in as one of many recruits. He later decides to turn against Herobrine, eventually becoming a dangerous mob who can fend off against his copies himself.
- Having a Blast: He can cause his tridents to explode at will. His largest attack, Trident Festival, has him detonate all of them at once, but it will leave him exhausted until the tridents are returned to him.
- Morality Chain: While he was in the mob farm, there was another zombie called Russel, who fell on top of the mob spawner while the mob farm was being constructed. He was recognized as being somewhat wiser and begged the other zombies to use their tools to break free only to have them thrown at him in envy. Blue Demon acknowledges that he probably could have seen life differently if Russel hadn't been killed, and is always thinking about him throughout his quest to erase the Creators. Then he gets an invitation for the Creators' game from a zombie speaking just like Russel...
- Prongs of Poseidon: Comes with being a Drowned.
- Rage Against the Heavens: He really doesn't like what the world has become and blames the Creators for it. He tells Steve he hopes to one day replace them and ensure that the world never allows anyone to fight.
- Shock and Awe: Is later shown to be able to channel electricity itself without needing his tridents.
- Super Prototype: While he and Mustard were still working for Herobrine, Mustard suggests that him being stronger and smarter than most other Drowned zombies might have to do with him being the first Drowned to ever manifest in the world.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: When Herobrine took him in, and had him turned into a Drowned, the mob would be ordered to attack Villager Scouts and players, causing rumors to spread of a "blue demon" roaming the world. After he defected from Herobrine, he would call himself just that when asked for his name by BBQ sauce.
BBQ Sauce
A simple-minded chicken who usually follows Blue Demon everywhere, hoping to eat all types of meat with the sauce he names himself after.
- Dumb Muscle: He doesn't like to philosophize as much as his partner and doesn't often think beyond his own goals, but Blue Demon lets him stick around since he's a competent fighter.
- Let's Meet the Meat: Despite being a chicken, he has an obsession with eating the flesh of other mobs.
- Proj-egg-tile: He can rapidly shoot eggs at enemies, and they can become toxic if he ate a poisonous potato beforehand.
Fluffy Cloud
A sheep that Blue Demon assigns to watch over Steve while he attacks Herobrine at the Resistance's desert base.
- Blow You Away: He has wind powers that he can use to No-Sell most attacks or throw people around.
- Cool Shades: Wears black shades after becoming a member of the Association.
- Straw Nihilist: It's revealed in a flashback that he used to work for Villager Scouts by letting them ride him. After he was left the Sole Survivor of the squad by players, he decided that nothing he does could make the world any better and that he was better off being a monster.
- Suddenly Speaking: Starts speaking normally instead of baaing when he gets tired of Steve for resisting his orders."You should have just obeyed me."
Joe
A seemingly ordinary pufferfish who had quickly rose through the ranks.
- Does Not Know His Own Strength: He's powerful and impulsive enough that he sometimes sends people flying away by accident.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Despite his high ranking, he doesn't seem to acknowledge Blue Demon's goals. This is probably for the best, considering that Blue Demon hated all Creators, including Dinnerbone, the one who gave Joe his powers.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: Episode 64 has Joe decide to attack the Resistance alone right after they got caught in the battle between Herobrine and Blue Demon. Some of the players tried to attack him after realizing he was serious, only for their strikes to bounce off him without doing any apparent damage.
- Sizeshifter: Has the ability to grow to around the size of an iron golem, allowing him to ram people with his body.
Charlie
A Creeper who follows Boop and MrFudgeMonkeyz not long after they escape Herobrine for the first time. He's later revealed to be an agent of the Mob Association.
- Action Bomb: As is the case for all Creepers. Even more so when it turns out that he's charged and can hide the blue aura that shows this.
- The Bus Came Back: He got teleported away by an Enderman serving Herobrine's witch minion in Episode 21, and was never seen again until [[Episode 62 reveals that he has been invited to the Creator's games]].
- Mad Bomber: He likes to fantasize about blowing people up, though this doesn't actually happen.
Other Characters
Characters that aren't associated with any major faction Alex
A skilled player who strikes out on her own as a bounty hunter, but shows a more twisted side if she doesn't get her way.
- Ax-Crazy: She's insane enough to threaten anyone who won't listen to her commands.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: It's shown that she doesn't think like most other players, which is why Jev is so fascinated with her. For example, when she and several other players caught him writing about them, she decides to just turn on the other players in favor of working with him out of sheer boredom of winning, which catches him completely off guard.
Entity 303
A creator with seemingly no relation to Herobrine, and is somehow even more mysterious.
- Doppelgänger Attack: Can fight with multiple copies of himself, and unlike Herobrine, he doesn't need to control any players to form them.
The Illager King Unmarked Spoilers
A mob who leads many other illagers. Although he used to work with Blue Demon, he eventually decides that he can't trust him.
- Cycle of Revenge: Played with. He acknowledges that while Steve did kill some of his men, killing him again isn't going to solve his problems. Instead he decides to confiscate Steve's Empathic Weapon as a hostage that would be fed to his axe if Steve takes too long to Blow That Horn in order to bring him to Blue Demon.
- Emphatic Weapon: His red axe seems to be imbued with his brother's spirit. It can also extend its handle or shift its blade to look more like a spear.
- Foil: To the Villager King, who is idolized by his people as an irreplaceable symbol of hope, if not an outright deity. The Illager King, on the other hand, once lectured the leaders of the tribes that he united about how they as the latest generation of Illagers need to outgrow their ancestors to be able to end the war once and for all. This shows that in spite of his strengths, he sees himself as dispensable to his kind.
- Hero Killer: He's the one who finally kills Steve after the latter got worn down from fighting Grave and Blue Demon.
- Occult Blue Eyes: Has distinctly bright cyan eyes.
- Pyrrhic Victory: His life was permanently changed the day a llama invited him to a challenge hosted by the Creators. Although he would be win as the Sole Survivor, his entire tribe, who wanted to ensure his victory, was completely annihilated. By the time he returned and reunited the illagers, enough generations had passed that nobody truly remembered what he fought for.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: He would always be seen fighting in battle atop a horse, something that sets him apart from the Villager King.
