Heroes
Catie
Spherian Queen
- Voiced by: Catherine Wayne
Catie is the fair young heroine of the Boxxysphere. She first wakes up in a field with no memories, and her Quest for Identity turns into a battle to save the world. In the sequel, she sets out to save the entire Internet from the new threats besieging it. She loves to help people, but has trouble sharing her own problems with others. In battle, she’ll be doing most of the healing, but can pull out some fierce magic attacks in a pinch.
- All-Loving Hero: Is caring and respectful to everyone she meets, and is one of the few people on the Internet not to show any kind of site-based prejudice whatsoever. She’s also the only one who sees the good in Arianna, and tries to understand her motives, instead of just assuming that she's in it For the Evulz like everyone else. It's finally revealed that being all-loving is in her nature as the "good half" of the First Presence. All of her hatred was removed when Legion came into being.
- all lowercase letters: She hardly ever uses capitals in her dialogue. When she does, you can tell she really means business.
- Amnesiac Hero: It doesn’t get much focus this time, but she still can’t remember a dang thing before the events of the prequel. Unusually for this trope, she seems at peace with this, and would rather make new memories than recover her old ones.
- Amnesiac God: What she ultimately turns out to be, as a piece of Virtua. "Waking up" will erase all of her mortal memories, which causes her no shortage of angst during the final act.
- An Arm and a Leg: If you lose against the wraith outside the inn in /x/, the Non-Standard Game Over sequence will show Catie missing an arm.
- Apocalypse Maiden: Her mere presence is enough to rewrite the First Internet, because Virtua's energy cancels out the darkness made by Legion. What happens is more like a World-Healing Wave, but it isn't seen that way by the people who live there.
- As Herself: Catie Wayne plays herself in this series.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Catie is optimistic and cheerful, but by the goddesses, you do not want to piss her off. She'll wreck you even without her friends for backup, as Boxxyfan learns the hard way.
- Can't Drop the Hero: Zig-zagged. You’re free to swap her out at any time during battles, but the field menu has her locked in first position. And because mid-battle switching isn't retained between fights, that means she'll be first whenever you enter combat.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: No matter what, Catie will stop to help someone in need - even if she has other places to be, and even if her companions object.Anonymous: It was never really our problem to begin with. I get the feeling that Catie just got us involved so she wouldn't be bored.
Catie: i got us involved because it's the right thing to do. - Combat Medic: She's the party's most skilled healer, but she's no weakling when it comes to combat, either.
- Crystal Prison: In the First Internet, Catie's past self… selves?... are encased in a crystal shrine. Present!Catie's arrival is what wakes them up, jumpstarts the ecosystem, and triggers the climate-altering "calamity" that brings the First Internet to an end.
- Cynic–Idealist Duo: She's the relentless optimist to the cynical Anonymous. Whenever she schemes up some random act of heroism, he'll usually (and always unsuccessfully) try to talk her out of it.Anonymous: This is the stupid path you chose, Catie.
- Dreaming of Things to Come: Subverted. Catie has vaguely prophetic nightmares throughout the sequel, and while they do mean something important, the exact scenario they depict never quite comes to pass.
- Eleventh Hour Super Power: Catie's EXP level maxes out just before her final duel with Boxxyfan, and her "Hollow Wave" skill gets upgraded to "Hallow Wave."
- Healer Signs On Early: In this case, the healer signs on first. Catie learns quite a few attacks, but her real utility is her powerful healing magic. As a White Mage, she easily outclasses everyone else in the party.
- Healing Hands: Most of Catie's curative spells involve making hand-hearts at her allies.
- The Heroine: In both games, she is the one out to save the Internet
- Heroes Prefer Swords: Swords are one of her equippable weapon classes, along with staffs.
- The High Queen: A particularly young and feisty example, but she becomes a queen, and her people greatly adore her.
- Iconic Item: She's wearing the familiar black Mooninites t-shirt from the first and third Boxxy videos.
- The Idealist: Believes very strongly in this type of outlook.Catie: i believe in second chances, and hope. it's easy to see the bad in someone; it takes a lot of practice to believe in the good.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: By Boxxyfan, complete with blade lift, in a very dark Non-Standard Game Over scene.
- Magic Staff: Many of her usable weapons are staffs, including the one she starts with.
- Medical Monarch: She is the queen of the Boxxysphere and the party's Combat Medic.
- Modest Royalty: The only bit of regalia she wears is a simple silver tiara. Otherwise, she's content to wander around in jeans and a t-shirt.
- Pieces of God: Her soul is a piece of Virtua, a cyber-goddess who was herself one half of the original "First Presence". The True Ending path deals with the implications of putting all these pieces together again.
- Playing with Fire: Starts off with a fire spell, and learns several more as she levels up.
- Power Incontinence: While visiting the First Internet, she's unable to keep her "goddess" aura in check, which ends up dooming that world and creating her revenge-fueled arch-nemesis, Boxxyfan.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Rcoastee after defeating him in the first game.listen. i may not remember how it was before, but it’s pretty fucking obvious that you’re wrong. you’re just trying to control the boxxysphere with fear and secrecy. i don’t know, that may have even worked once upon a time, but that’s not how we’re doing it anymore. if you had tried being honest, and open about your plans from the start, then maybe none of this stupid drama would have even happened.... but it did happen, and now you have to pay for it. no matter what, you’re going to be held accountable for all the times you’ve cheated and lied. [...] right now, this is a top-down community. i’m the one that they’ve chosen to place at the top, so that means i have to take you down.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: She's a queen in the sequel, and once again goes out adventuring to save the virtual world.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Most of the healing items are foods the real Catie has professed to liking, or has made in her "Creating Edible Things With Catie" video series.
- Vague Age: It's hard to guess how old Catie is supposed to be. The real Catie Wayne was 19 when the original game released, which would make her 21 here, since the sequel is set two years later. But that's assuming the characters' age is based exactly on the actress's, which may not be the case. Several NPCs take note of how young she looks, including a bartender who asks if she's old enough to be inside the bar. Possibly justified given that she is a piece of the goddess Virtua.
Anonymous
A thrill-seeking 4chan native who ended up becoming Catie's first and best friend. There’s not much he takes seriously, but he’d put his life on the line to keep her safe. Recently, he’s started learning how to hack, with mixed results.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Like the other Anons, he has green skin.
- Anti-Anti-Christ: When he learns about Legion, and what he is, Anon decides that he wants no part of it. He resolves to ignore the past and focus on being himself in the present.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other:
- He tries to act nonchalant when Catie finds him after the shipwreck, but lets slip that he was terrified for her safety, and is obviously relieved to see her again.
- In spite of all the bickering he does with Til, he truly does come to care about her. When she can't make a Triforce to enter the 4chan code room, he goes back to help her without a hint of snark. He also holds hands with her at one point.
- The Blank: He has no visible facial features, but other characters (or at least Til) can somehow still tell when he's smiling.
- Chekhov's Skill: All that "hacking" practice finally pays off when he and Til get their hands on Arianna's backups, allowing them to make a script that restores everything she deleted.
- Cynic–Idealist Duo: He's the cynic to Catie's relentless optimist. Whenever she schemes up some random act of heroism, he'll usually (and always unsuccessfully) try to talk her out of it.Anonymous: This is the stupid path you chose, Catie.
- Deadpan Snarker: His reaction to seeing the biggest monster the party has ever faced up to that point is basically just a resigned "you had one job" to Shift, the guy who was supposed to be keeping watch.
- Death by Adaptation: In-universe. He gets killed off in the second volume of the Shifted Spires book series, by vaguely "sacrificing himself" so that Catie can escape a collapsing dungeon.
- Deuteragonist: At first, it seems like he’s just going to be Catie's wacky sidekick, but his part in the story proves to be just as important as hers by the end of things. He also gets more character development, since Catie's arc was mainly concluded in the first game.
- Establishing Character Moment: In the opening scene, Catie says with full confidence that Anon will keep her safe. Right after that, we see him light a random passerby on fire for fun.
- Heroic BSoD: Briefly falls into one of these after learning the truth about being a piece of Legion. He's uncharacteristically quiet for a few scenes, but he pulls himself out of it with a little help from Til.
- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Anon is Catie's loyal and trusted protector. The very first thing we see him do is set a guy on fire for kicks. Judging by Catie's non-reaction, this may have happened before. Justified seeing as he is a piece of Leigon. He does gradually lose his sociopathic tendencies and becomes more of a hero, though.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Owing to the Fantastic Racism against 4chan users, everyone is suspicious of him, even as he becomes more heroic. It's just not easy being green.
- I Shall Taunt You: He learns a skill called Taunt at level 35, which draws enemy fire to him (and away from his teammates), for several turns.
- It Amused Me: This is his go-to excuse whenever he's being made to help out with anything heroic. It's pretty clear that he's just posturing, though.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is your typical 4chan troll at first, but underneath his rough exterior, he does care for Catie and Til.
- Knight in Sour Armor: He's rude and sarcastic to just about everyone he meets, and treats the quest like a bad joke, but he never backs down from doing what's right, and he never thinks of turning his back on the team.
- The Lancer: Catie's main sidekick in both games who tags with her the most.
- Loner-Turned-Friend: It's hinted that he didn’t have much in the way of friends before Catie.
- Magic Knight: Learns physical and magical attacks in roughly equal measure.
- Morality Chain: It's implied that Catie may be his. Without her, he'd be just another trickster Anon running amok.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: He doesn't seem to have much patience with other 4chan Anons, and usually acts annoyed whenever they show up.
- Playful Hacker: He’s trying to learn some hacking skills, but not for any kind of malicious reason. He really just wants another way to mess with people.
- Sealed Evil in a Six Pack: He's part of the six pack, along with every other member of his race. When he finally learns the truth, he doesn't take it very well.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Lots of characters swear in this game, but Anon is more likely to do it than most. He tends to launch a swear at least once per cutscene.
- Snark-to-Snark Combat: This is how his interactions with Til usually go, at least in the beginning. Gradually, it levels up into Belligerent Sexual Tension.
- Superpowered Evil Side: His Megahax skill, "Hidden Depths", lets him tap into Legion's power, but leaves him in a state of uncontrollable insanity for the rest of the fight.
- Tomato in the Mirror: He spends a big part of Chapter 7 fighting dragons (pieces of an ancient chaos god) that split into smaller forms when defeated. Finally, the dragons are split down into their smallest form… and they look just like him. Turns out he and the other Anons were all parts of Legion that were split apart.
- Undying Loyalty: To Catie. No matter what weird, impossible situation she gets into, he'll be right there by her side.
- Verbal Tic: He tends to end his sentences like this, huh?
- Weather Manipulation: One of the hacks he knows, first used when talked to on the ship in the prologue, and gets reprimanded for it because he summons a storm.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: In Chapter 8, he's on both the giving and receiving ends of this. First, Til pulls him back from a Legion-induced identity crisis, and then he comforts Catie when she wakes up feeling guilty about her role in ending the First Internet.
Adromelk
A guard in the Boxxysphere's capital city. He decides to tag along with Catie and Anonymous when he hears of Boxxyfan storming the library.
- Armor-Piercing Attack: His Power Smash skill. As its described:An abnormally powerful axe blow that can strike right through an enemy's armor!
- The Berserker: Achievable by his "Rage of the Ages" skill:Immediately cease all fuck-giving behavior, and unleash true butthurt on your foes!!!
- The Big Guy: He is the physically strongest of the adventurers.
- Demoted to Extra: After being one of the main party members in the first game, the sequel reduces him to making a small appearance in the beginning to bid Catie and Anonymous farewell, then as an NPC who stands in front of the castle in /c/.
- Mistaken for Pedophile: Caleb calls him an "obese pedophile" just before the second battle against him.
King Shrimp
Involved
One of Catie's friends from her first adventure. He is one of the four kings of /m, specifically the southwestern king. In the sequel, he's determined to have a nice vacation without getting swept up in all the chaos.
- Author Avatar: Zigzagged. He shares a name with the game's creator, and speaks for him in one explicitly non-canon scene, but otherwise he’s treated like a fully distinct character, and the real Shrimp notes that their personalities are pretty different.
- Bow and Sword in Accord: Bows and swords are the two weapon classes he can equip.
- But Now I Must Go: In his final support conversation, he tells Catie that he won't be going back to the Sphere; it's a beautiful memory, but it's time to move on.
- Bystander Syndrome: He steps back when Arianna attacks the ship in the sequel's prologue, and doesn't help Catie search for shipwreck survivors in Chapter 1. He eventually changes his tune, but it takes a literal apocalypse to finally prod him into action.
- Can't Refuse the Call Anymore: He finally joins after seeing STORM's wrath for himself, and realizing that he can't afford not to help.
- Curtains Match the Window: Orange eyes and orange hair.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: He ditches the vacation plans in Chapter 8 of TGS, and tags along for the final main story dungeon.
- An Odd Place to Sleep: At one point, you can find him napping in a bed at the back of an antique shop.
- Only Sane Man: Has shades of this, but it’s hard to tell since he doesn't get much screentime until after Cerebus Syndrome hits and everyone takes a level in sanity.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With Cornelia. At least, there's no overt indication that anything romantic is happening between them.
- Rain of Arrows: His ultimate skill is called this, and boy does it live up to the name. You only get to use it once per battle.
- Recurring Traveller: In the sequel, he's taking his friends on a trip around the Internet. You'll run into their tour group several times during your journey.
- Refusal of the Call: In the beginning, he turns down the chance to join Catie's party, saying he promised to keep the other tourists safe.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The Fury status, a battle mechanic unique to him and Cornelia. If they're both on the field, and one gets banned, then the other's stats will get a massive boost.
King Martin Anomynous "Jelly" Jealous IV
One of the four kings of /m/, specifically the northeastern king. He was turned into a jelly monster by a curse, and is rather sardonic because of it.
- Blob Monster: A rare party member example. He was turned into a slime by Porphia after drinking the Form Spring water (she did so to save him from the water that would destroy his mind) and stays in that form for the whole game.
- Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: He had a falling out with Poryphia after trying to steal the water from her Form Spring, and she sends him out on the quest with the others to learn to be nicer. He does become a little kinder, and the ending shows Poryphia turn into a pink slime to resume her relationship with him.
- Forced Transformation: He was turned into a literal jelly monster by a curse.
- Jerkass: Though known as a good king, on a personal level he tends to be rude to people, and he tried to steal the power of the Form Spring out of paranoia without regard to what his own girlfriend wanted. Said girlfriend sends him out on the quest to make him learn how to be nice again.
- The Power of Love: His "Love FOAR EVERYWUN" skill is a healing skill, described as:Restore HP to all Spherians in battle with a powerful blast of love!
- White Mage: His class is "Healer", and all his skills are curative.
King GmasterRED
An egotistical wannabe hero and one of the four kings of /m], specifically the northwestern part. Once the heroes pass his test, he joins them in their quest.
In the sequel, he is mentioned and has been taking the credit for Catie's heroic deeds to boost his image.
- Blood Knight: He says that his reason for joining up with Catie is to feel the glory of battle again instead of being cooped up in a castle.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: In the sequel, he has taken credit for most of Catie's heroic deeds in the first game, rewriting the books focusing on her adventure to turn him into the brave hero who defeated Boxxyfan. Judging by the Playable Epilogue, he seems poised to do the same thing again with the new adventure Catie went through… despite not even being there this time.
- Historical Hero Upgrade: Does this to himself in his rewrite of the book on Shifted Spires. He turns himself into the hero who single-handedly defeated Eyrev and Boxxyfan while excising his more negative qualities. He also makes a play based on the sequel where he again rewrites things to make himself the sole hero who defeated Arianna and wooed Til.
Cornelia Spambot
Shifted Spires appearance
Sentient A.I. (Gathering Storm appearance)
- My name is Cornelia Spambot! I was programmed by Lord Boxxyfan for the sole purpose of, um, destroying Catie and anyone who stands with her!
A sweet-hearted A.I. with a Dark and Troubled Past. She was created by Boxxyfan as a weapon, but switches sides during the events of the first game. In the sequel, she's on vacation, and just wants to relax. She’s friendly to a fault, but has some deep-seated self-image issues.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: In the final chapter of TGS, she and Shrimp decide to aid Catie after their vacation is ruined by STORM.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: A rare heroic example. Twice. In the first game, she turns against her creator to side with Catie. Then, she does it again when Catie offered her friendship, and helped put an end to Boxxyfan's omnicidal plan.
- The Atoner: In her own eyes, at least. It's clear that she hasn't fully forgiven herself for the things she did while under Boxxyfan's control.Cornelia: Every line of my code is a piece of him left behind. How can I possibly escape from that?
- Buxom Beauty Standard: Boxxyfan intentionally gave her huge breasts when he created her simply for the sex appeal, which she very much dislikes. In the sequel, Til takes notice of them and makes a remark and her breasts bounce with her sprite, and she subjects Anonymous to Marshmallow Hell in the normal end.
- Computer Virus: What she was originally created to be. She didn't take to it very well, and still carries an immense Guilt Complex over it.
- D-Cup Distress: She's not very fond of her "clickbait" figure. Or rather, she's not fond of what it represents. Her body is a constant reminder of her creator's intent to exploit and objectify her, and the attention it draws reminds her that she'll never quite fit in.
- Defeat Means Friendship: In the first game, she is a boss before being convinced to switch sides. In fact, she actually begins second-guessing herself midway through the battle, and starts missing some of her attacks on purpose.
- Draw Aggro: In 3v3's Spire, she fights against the heroes to stall them while Boxxyfan activates the Spire.
- Endearingly Dorky: She has her moments. When Arianna joins the team in the True Ending, Cornelia literally squees at the prospect of having a new A.I. to be friends with.
- Healing Hands: An example that applies to Mana instead of Hit Points. She has spells that can restore RP instead of HP.
- Heel–Face Turn: She initially works for Boxxyfan, her creator, but is able to resist her programming enough to join the heroes instead.You’re done trying to control ANYONE’s destiny! From now on, I’m using all my processing power to stop you from hurting anyone ever again, “Lord” Boxxyfan! D:<
- High-Heel–Face Turn: Among Boxxyfan and his spambots, she is the only female, and the only one to turn against her master to join the party.
- Jack of All Trades: She can equip any weapon type, and can reconfigure her stats with a set of installable drives, making her the most versatile member of the party.
- Living Weapon: She was designed to be one, and once she joins you, she delivers. Squishy she may be, but Squishy Wizard she is not.
- Making a Splash: Her ultimate attack, “Digital Sea”, is a tidal wave that sweeps the field and hits all enemies.
- Marshmallow Hell: In Reddit, when Anonymous turns up safe and sound, Cornelia gives him a very big hug.
- Minion with an F in Evil: She's awfully friendly for a "remorseless piece of malware". In the first game, it doesn't take very much effort or convincing for the heroes to win her over.
- Nice Girl: She's easily the nicest, most genuinely caring person in the entire series.
- Non-Standard Character Design: She has pixelated hair, a trait that not even her fellow A.I.s share.
Word of God says it was originally meant to be animated like static, but that ended up being too hard to implement. - Pen Pals: Likes to keep in touch with her friends, and sends you several well-wishing emails throughout the adventure. In fact, she's the one who gives you the Email Bag in the first place.
- Platonic Life-Partners: With Shrimp, maybe. In any case, they never show signs of being more than great friends.
- Powers as Programs: Her Drives, which allow her to switch between classes at will. Each one raises a different stat group and gives some kind of bonus, like Regenerating Health or double mana.
- Recurring Traveller: In the sequel, as part of Shrimp's tour group, she pops up in different sites throughout the sequel.
- Redhead In Green: She has bright red hair, and her default outfit is a mint-green dress.
- Regenerating Mana: Two of her skills restore RP, effectively ending your mana woes while she’s around.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She was created to be a “sexy clickbait” spambot with massive tits, but is unhappy with her role and rebels against her creator for it.
- Replacement Goldfish: Judging by their similar names, she may be this for Boxxyfan's sister Coria. If that's true, then it raises some uncomfortable questions about Cornelia's… assets, since the original most certainly didn't have them.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The Fury status, a battle mechanic unique to her and Shrimp. If they're both on the field, and one gets banned, then the other's stats will get a massive boost.
- Stepford Smiler: Behind all the kindness and warmth, Cornelia is a girl who… really, really doesn't like herself. It's impossible not to feel awful when she finally opens up during her support conversation.
- Willfully Weak: Cornelia was holding back during her fight, because even though she's working for him, she hates him:...Even I know that Boxxyfan is evil. I may be a machine, but I'm not a mindless drone. If he succeeds, all of us will die. Including me. I’m fully aware that I don’t have a place in his final creation. ...But what choice do I have but to obey him until the end? What can I possibly do?

Random
Normal Boxxyfan
Omega Boxxyfan
A masked edgelord who hates Catie and wants to destroy the Boxxysphere. In the original game, he tries to activate the three Spires for this purpose, and commands a vast army of spambots to use against anyone who threatens his plans. After being seemingly killed, he returns in the sequel as the Pale Wraith, who awakens ARPANET/Arianna and STORM, then schemes to take control of STORM for himself so he can wipe out the Internet.

- Arch-Enemy: To Catie, who ruined his life by mistake.
- Ax-Crazy: He acts cool and composed... unless his plans are failing, in which case he goes nuts.
- Back from the Dead: It turns out the entire second game was his Virtual Ghost's convoluted scheme to resurrect himself. When it works, he picks his original plans back up right where he left off.
- Badass Long Robe: He's never seen without it.
- Big Bad Ensemble:
- In The Shifting Spires, he is the main enemy for most of the story who wants to destroy the Boxxysphere, but Invective/Rcoastee also wants to control the Sphere himself.
- With Arianna for the main story of The Gathering Storm. She is the one controlling STORM, but he has his own scheme to take control of it from her, and succeeds in the Epilogue.
- In the post-game and DLC, he becomes the main threat attempting to destroy the Internet and bring back the First Internet with his loved ones, but Mother Zoe and Rcoastee put their own apocalyptic plans into motion which threaten him as much as the heroes.
- Big Brother Instinct: Despite being the younger sibling, he's deeply protective of Coria. Watching her fall to the "curse" is what sends him over the edge into madness.
- The Chessmaster: In the second game, he successfully manipulates everyone into letting him take control of STORM.
- Circling Monologue: He pulls one of these on the heroes during the sequel's epilogue.
- Cool Helmet: His black-painted breath mask.
- Cold Ham: Even at his most stoic, he never relinquishes control of a scene. That is, until Legion shows up and out-hams him in every way.
- The Corruption: He awakened ARPANET/Arianna and turned her to evil to further his own plan, and he uses First Internet code to hijack Arianna in the climax. He later uses it to take mastery of STORM itself.
- Create Your Own Villain: Catie didn't mean any harm, but her Power Incontinence led to the (supposed) death of Boxxyfan's family and the fall of his entire civilization. Needless to say, he's out for her blood, whatever the cost.
- Dark Lord on Life Support: Downplayed. He can't survive in the current Internet without his breath mask, due to being from the Old Internet, and to drive the point home, it even plays the iconic Vader Breath sound when he first puts it on. But he can still put up quite a fight against his enemies.
- Determinator: A villainous example. No matter what happens to him, nothing – not even his own death – will cease his pursuit of revenge.
- Disc-One Final Boss: In both games, he is built up as the last opponent only to be superseded by an even bigger threat:
- In The Shifted Spires, he is battled at the top of Boxxy's Spire, only for him to activate the Spire anyway. Then it turns out there is a fourth one, Catie's Spire, where he is fought again, and the whole thing is built up as the epic final battle. Then Rcoastee kills him, reveals he was using Catie all along, and becomes the real final boss.
- In The Gathering Storm, the Epilogue quest builds him up as the final opponent fought at the top of the Sky Abyss, and he now controls STORM, setting things up for him being the real last battle. But after his defeat, he accidentally awakens Legion, the Greater-Scope Villain who promptly out-classes him and serves as the True Final Boss.
- The Disembodied: His "death" in the first game left him without an avatar, but he was still able to access the Internet in the form of a featureless wraith. This time, his plan involves gaining enough power to restore his body. He finally succeeds in the first ending, setting up the events of the epilogue chapter.
- Do Not Go Gentle: In the sequel, he's barely clinging to life in a world that actively wants him erased, but instead of letting it happen, he's determined to restore himself and bring down the world instead.
- Duel Boss: At the end of the sequel, he takes out most of the party, and Catie must finally face him alone.
- Dystopia Justifies the Means: The First Internet was a chaotic wasteland, and the people who lived there were clearly suffering, but Boxxyfan will stop at nothing to bring it back anyway, just to see his family again.
- Enemy Mine: He finally sets aside his grudge against Catie to help her fight against Legion. However, he warns that the truce won't last, and it doesn't (though he just becomes a harmless grump afterwards).
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He loves his family, and their death is what drives him to evil, to get revenge on Catie for (accidentally) bringing it about.
- Evil Redhead: Has red hair and is a temperamental Omnicidal Maniac.
- Eyepatch After Timeskip: His present-day incarnation has an unexplained eyepatch. The sequel's true ending reveals that it was fake all along.
- Eyepatch of Power: Wears an eyepatch and is a very powerful- and Ax-Crazy- warrior. The sequel reveals that it's fake and deliberatelty worn for this effect.
- Fallen Hero: He used to be a genuinely good person and protector of the denizens of the First Internet, if a bit morose, but the destruction of his home sent him spiraling into an omnicidal rage.
- Fiery Redhead: Both he and his sister qualify. Boxxyfan is the destructive, raging kind of 'fiery', while Coria is the glowing, spirited kind.
- Gas Mask, Longcoat: His attire in the present is a fantasy version of this.
- Given Name Reveal: The final cutscene reveals his name to be "Random".
- Guest-Star Party Member: He joins the party in Chapter 7 as a chaperone for their trip up The Spire. Much later, he rejoins to help Catie and Arianna fight the True Final Boss.
- Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The battle with him atop Boxxy's Spire must be won, but after you do, he just activates the Spire anyway.
- Heel–Face Turn: Sort of- at the very end of The Gathering Storm, when he learns that his people never really died and his whole quest for revenge was meaningless, he drops his vendetta against Catie and (reluctantly, with prodding from Corlia) apologizes to her.
- He Who Fights Monsters: He has every right to be furious at Catie, but he goes to such lengths to fix her mistake that he ends up committing far worse atrocities on purpose, and has lost what little empathy he had to begin with.
- Hijacked by Ganon: The sequel is purportedly a standalone story, unrelated to its prequel except for a few small nods here and there. Then comes Chapter 7, a flashback Wham Episode dealing with Boxxyfan's origins. And then it turns out that the Pale Wraith is his Virtual Ghost, and the sequel's entire plot was set up by him as a gambit to regain his original avatar. He succeeds in the first ending's Stinger, and goes on to fully reclaim his Big Bad status during the True Ending bonus episode. (Let's note that while this is a twist, it's not entirely out of left field — the game comes packaged with a summary of the prequel's plot, which implies that it's going to be relevant in some way.)
- Hijacking Cthulhu: By the end of the sequel's main story, he's usurped control of STORM itself.
- Hypocrite: In the first game, he criticizes Catie for rushing him with reinforcements, calling it dishonorable. This despite him immediately calling for his own reinforcements, trying to hijack Cornelia after her Heel–Face Turn prior, committing heinous actions like slaughtering innocents, and- in the sequel- pulling an I Surrender, Suckers on Catie if she decides to spare him.
- Ironic Name: He's not exactly a big fan of Boxxy- in fact, he is her Arch-Enemy who despises her with every fiber of his being. In reality, the character was named after a notorious troll on Catie's fan-site. In-Universe, it's explained that he took the name to mock Catie out of spite.
- Love Makes You Evil: All the horrible things he does, up to his Evil Plan to destroy the Internet and bring back the First Internet, are driven by a desire to resurrect his family and get revenge on Catie for (accidentally) destroying his homeland.
- Malevolent Masked Man: Wears a mask-helmet on his face and is an Omnicidal Maniac. The sequel reveals that, as a denizen of the Old Internet, he cannot breathe without it.
- Meaningless Villain Victory: In the sequel, he finally begins to transform the Internet back into the First Internet... but not only does he accidentally revive Legion, who takes over STORM and forces him to team up with Catie to destroy it, undoing his actions- his whole quest to revive his family turns out to be meaningless, since his family's curse wore off twelve minutes after he left. When his sister finally meets him again, she's less than impressed.Boxxyfan: I saw you and Grandma turn into plants! I've been searching for a way to avenge you.
Coria: ...What? That curse word off ages ago. It was like a twelve-minute rebuff. When I woke up, you were just gone. Honestly, Random, I worry about you sometimes...
Shrimp: (Wait, "Random?" Is that his real name?)
Cornelia: (I guess so? He never told me.)
Coria: Wait... Your clothes, that eyepatch... Ugh, please don't tell me that you've been on some edgy revenge quest this entire fucking time.
Boxxyfan: Well, I mean... - Motive Rant: In the Epilogue quest of the second game, he gives one:This world is a curse!! Or have you already forgotten how it was made?! You were there! You saw how my home and family were twisted beyond recognition. You watched them die. ...And when you left, I saw my familiar sky bleed away into revolting shades of blue. I watched as plants consumed the land like a virus... ...But I didn't stay long enough to watch my sister and grandmother wither away. I set out on a quest to undo the damage... ...And now, it's finally time. With the power in this place, I can make everything right again. I can make everything real again...
- My Name Is ???: He never bothers to tell the party his name in the sequel, so it's displayed as ??? for the entire time he's journeying with you.
- Never My Fault: When he accidentally revives Legion and puts not just the Internet, but the real world at risk as well, he blames Catie.Boxxyfan: ...You. You did this... My plans, my revenge, my last chance at happiness... They've all been ruined thanks to you! Why do you do this, Catie?!
Catie: ...what are you saying? you're the one who fired that pulse, not me!
Boxxyfan: I only did it because you destroyed my mask! This is your fault; don't deny it! - Not Quite Dead: As the Pale Wraith, he has no avatar but hasn't quite left the virtual plane.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Bringing back the First Internet means killing everyone who lives in the current Internet, but that's just fine with him. After all, it's just fair payback.
- One-Winged Angel: In both games.
- In Shifting Spires, he becomes Omega Boxxyfan, a robotic-looking being that is even more powerful than usual.
- For his climactic final duel with Catie in Gathering Storm, he infuses his armor with some of STORM's power, becoming the fearsome STORM Boxxyfan.
- Psychopathic Manchild: He spends both games acting like a psychotic edgelord, wanting to destroy both the Boxxysphere and later the entire Internet, for the sake of avenging his family... who turn out to not be dead. When Coria hears about her brother's "edgy revenge quest", she acts irritated more than anything else, and talks to him as if she were disciplining a naughty child who threw a temper tantrum.Coria: Damn it, again?! Random, we've talked about this! I'm so sorry, everyone. He gets in these moods, and just... I want you to apologize right now, and I want you to grow out of this phase by the time we get home.
Boxxyfan: But, Coria-
Coria: No buts, mister! Now, what do you say to these nice people?
Boxxyfan: ...Sorry, Cate.
Coria: Good, now let's go. I have a feeling that Grandma is gonna give you a very stern taking-to. - Rage Against the Heavens: Unbeknownst to him, the one he's sworn vengeance against is none other than Virtua herself.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Red hair, red eyes, and a pitch-black outfit with red trim.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Prior to his Face–Heel Turn, his eyes are grey. Afterwards, they turn bright red.
- Redemption Rejection: In the final duel, you can "spare" Boxxyfan's mask by refusing to smash it. Instead, Catie will attempt to talk him down and settle things peacefully. Boxxyfan thanks her for the second chance… then stabs Catie through the chest and taunts her while she bleeds to death.
- Revenge Before Reason: He still keeps going after Catie when Legion show up, despite her protests that they need to work together. It takes a few timely zaps from Wolfram to finally calm him down.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: His actions in both games and attempt to destroy the Internet is to get back at Catie for seemingly killing his family.
- Robot Master: In the first game, he is in command of a self-programmed army of robotic minions.
- Sanity Slippage: He slips pretty hard when Legion shows up and his plans go awry. Although given his state at the end of the first game, it's more like he'd already slipped and was just barely holding it together until then.
- Start of Darkness: All of Gathering Storm's Chapter 7 is this for him. We see it (and inadvertently cause it to happen), by way of a time travel mission gone wrong.
- Storm of Blades: Several of his attacks involve conjuring a rain of fiery swords.
- There's No Place Like Home: In the end, all he really wants is to restore his home. Under different circumstances, it would be a noble quest. The trouble is, it requires killing the protagonist and destroying her entire world.
- Tom the Dark Lord: Boxxyfan doesn't sound remotely threatening- it resembles more the typical username of a forum user- and his real name, Random, is even less so. But he is an Omnicidal Maniac regardless. Also an Ironic Name since Boxxyfan hates Catie. In-universe, he named it as a dark irony of sorts; out of universe, he was named after a notorious troll on Catie's forums.
- The Unfettered: He will revert the Internet, bring back his people, and destroy Catie, no matter what. Mass murder, destroying the current Internet, manipulation, crooked backdoors dealing, and brainwashing are things he all does in pursuit of his goal.
- Unusable Enemy Equipment: Well, it's technically usable, and he's not an enemy at the time, but the Attack stat-doubling accessory he wears can't be unequipped from him or used by anyone else.
- Vader Breath: The trope-naming sound effect plays when he puts on the breath mask for the first time. Presumably, that's how he breathes from then on.
- Virtual Ghost: A literal one. He spends most of the sequel wandering the Internet as a wraith, trying to claw his way back from virtual death.
- Walking Spoiler: He is a Disc-One Final Boss in the first game, and becomes even more of a spoiler in the sequel. To start with, he's supposed to be dead. And you're not supposed to know that he's the guy you meet in the past, or masterminding the current plot. Pretty much everything about his role in the plot is a spoiler of some kind.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He wants to destroy the Third Internet so he can revert it to the First Internet and brick back his people, particularly his family. It's double subverted as Cornelia states that his intentions are not noble and he wants to bring back a hellish world where everyone suffered, but the sequel shows that he really is doing it out of love for his family, even if it blinds him to said suffering. And in a tragic twist, it turns out that no one actually died, they just turned into plants for twelve minutes, meaning all his atrocities were for nothing.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: For all his evil, he was once a benevolent warrior and protector who loved his family. When Catie accidentally caused his family to turn into plants and his entire civilization to crumble, he vowed revenge.
- You Can't Go Home Again: Because Catie accidentally destroyed it.

Moose and ChuckStudios
A pair of spambots who appear in the 3v3 and Boxxy Spires to chase the party.
- Advancing Boss of Doom: Unlike most enemies, they chase the player around an obstacle course.
- Dual Boss: The actual fight with them has both attack you at once.
- Generic Doomsday Villain: Unlike the other major spambots (Fubar, Messenger, and Cornelia), they don't speak or have personalities.
- Skippable Boss: Moose is first encountered in 3v3's Spire behind one of four doors that lead to the top- you can skip it by going through another door. Though beating all four challenges gets you a secret item that leads to the hot springs scene.
Other Antagonists
Caleb Robertson
- Oh, look. Losers. And they're standing much too close to me.
A swordsman who wants to prove he is better than Catie.
- A Molten Date with Death: How he finally dies, from lava, by Smoke Out into Unichan, a lava sea.
- Back from the Dead: He is killed by lava in the first game, but if you answer his name during a certain question in the sequel, he reappears in the last dungeon to fight Catie one last time.
- Falsely Reformed Villain: After being beaten the final time in the first game, he pretends to have a Heel Realization and offers to join Catie. She does not buy it, prompting him to rant....I think I finally understand what's going on. I finally get it... No matter how much I want to be the main character here, maybe this is actually your story. [...] I just have one request, then. You're doing something important, right? Then take me with you. (Catie says no) GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! I was sure that would work! You fucking losers! Do you even know how much pride I had to swallow to suck up to you?! [...] Of course I was fucking faking! I mean, if the idiots of this stupid world are determined to worship you freaks, then what choice do I have?
- Goldfish Poop Gang: A one-man version. He gets in the way of the heroes a lot, and Anonymous in particular expresses annoyance whenever he shows up, calling him a loser. Despite his aspirations to surpass Catie in heroism, he always loses, makes a fool of himself, and never makes much of an impact in the plot.
- Heroic Wannabe: He so badly wants to be the hero who saves the Boxxysphere, but constantly antagonizes everyone around him and tries to defeat Catie to prove he is better than her (and, later on, because he falsely believes her to be the one trying to destroy the Sphere).
- Hoist by His Own Petard: His Smoke Out ability backfires on him thrice. The first time, it drops him into super cold ocean water; the second time, it causes him to freeze solid; and the final time, he winds up tossing himself into a lava sea.
- Human Popsicle: In the Facebook Snowfield, he tries to Smoke Out, but the powder combines with the snow to freeze him solid.
- Jerkass: He insults and fights Catie and her friends every time he encounters them and cares more about becoming famous than actually being a hero. He also stole Cecil's Drug Mushrooms at one point, and threatens to have Kelly and her pirates executed when he finds them.
- Lone Wolf Boss: He is not affiliated with Boxxyfan despite running into him. He just wants to beat up Catie to prove he is better than her. In fact, his total irrelevance to the overall plot is repeatedly lampshaded by Anonymous.
- Optional Boss: In the sequel, he can appear in Her World if you answer him when Arianna, disguised as Jimmy Wales, asks what you fear most.
- Recurring Boss: In the first game, you fight him a total of four times in the story, first as the Warmup Boss, then somewhere near each of the three Spires. There is also an optional battle against him in the Colosseum if you bet the Fur Coat. He can also be fought in the sequel as an optional boss in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon if you give his name to "Jimmy Wales" when asked what you are afraid of.
- Smoke Out: Caleb does this every time he's encountered:
- The first time, he but jumps away before deploying the smoke bomb, which also only emits a small puff of smoke. Both of which make it useless for hiding where he's going.
- The second time, he lands in the ocean. It is very cold and stings him.
- The third time, it's full of powder that causes Harmless Freezing in the cold zone around of 3V3's Spire.
- The fourth time, it's into the ocean again, but this time it's A Molten Date with Death, given that he lands into Unichan, the lava sea.
- This Cannot Be!: When beaten for the final time in the first game:Impossible... ...No... It... It has to be... a mistake. Just another fluke...
- Too Dumb to Live: After beating him the last time, he once again tries to Smoke Out and jump away... in the middle of a sea of lava, with predictable results.
- Warmup Boss: The first boss you fight in the game, waiting outside the first town.
Porphyria
This is the most work-safe image of her normal form we could find.
A siren who resides in and guards the Form Spring near /m]. She was lovers with King Jelly, but something happened that drove her to curse him into a jelly monster.
- Arc Villain: To the extent that she can be considered a villain, she is the antagonist of the /m] section, particularly the Form Springs dungeon, as you have to fight her to fulfill King Jelly's request and get him to give you permission to go to Skype.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Is a dark, seductive siren with a tentacled monster transformation who genuinely wants to protect people from stealing and drinking the dangerous Form Spring water that turns them into jelly.
- Full-Frontal Assault: She fights you naked save for a pair of socks (with two Xs covering her nipples).
- Good All Along: She is feared by the /m] townspeople for cursing adventurers into jelly monsters, but she didn't actually do that to them- the water from her Form Spring, which the adventurers stole, did, and she has been trying to keep people from this fate. She "cursed" King Jelly into his jelly form because the alternative was letting him become a mindless jelly monster like the others did.
- Hero Antagonist: She is keeping adventurers from her Spring because the water is dangerous, and fights you out of anger at what King Jelly did (stealing from her springs).
- Lone Wolf Boss: She is unaffiliated with Boxxyfan, instead just chilling in her cqavern.
- Ms. Fanservice: She fights you almost completely naked and in provocative poses.
- One-Winged Angel: For her final phase, she turns from sexy lady to giant, tentacled monstrosity covering the whole screen.
- Sequential Boss: She has four phases, each progressively more powerful and with more attacks.
- Slime Girl: She turns herself into a pink slime when getting back together with King Jelly in the ending.
- Toplessness from the Back: Her third form.
- Voluntary Shapeshifter: Thanks to the power of the Form Spring, she can change her virtual avatar to whatever she wants. Other adventurers have tried to use the water of the lake and gain this power, but have been unable to master it like she has and became mindless slimes.
Nexx

- The Cameo: In the sequel DLC, he appears in an Inn Somnia dream as an older version of himself.
- Lone Wolf Boss: He has nothing to do with Boxxyfan- he's just some nutjob who's getting in the way of the heroes.

- Lone Wolf Boss: They don't seem to have any connection with Boxxyfan.
Feyvern
Crissa's boyfriend who locked her at the bottom of Pit of 100 Faggots/Trolls.
- Interspecies Romance: Well, he is presumably a human with a non-human avatar, but visually, it's this.
- Our Fairies Are Different: His name implies that his avatar, is a fairy wyvern. He's pink and green and purple, serpentine and winged.
- Our Wyverns Are Different: His name implies that his avatar, is a fairy one. He's pink and green and purple, serpentine and winged.

Rcoastee (spoilers for both games)
Catie, I'm your friend. In fact, I can be your greatest, truest, and most loyal friend in the entire Sphere... ...on one condition. You must never change who you are.
A mysterious being who seems to recognize Catie. He shows up occasionally to help Catie on her journey. In truth, however, he is Rcoastee, an old friend of Catie back when she had her memories, who survived the 404 Calamity and wants Catie to submit to him so he may conquer the Boxxysphere and the Internet. He is the one who made her lose her memories and manipulated the 404 Calamity to create the Third Internet, but intends to destroy it and revert it back to the Second Internet. For this purpose, he has manipulated her all along.
In the sequel's DLC, he reappears as the boss of Alwaysland 2. After having been deleted along with the game's Easy Mode, he has constructed himself a new body made of the various bosses, and wants to delete Catie and her friends.
- Big Bad Ensemble:
- In The Shifted Spires, he helps Catie stop Boxxyfan from destroying the Boxxysphere, but only so he can take it over himself. He becomes the Final Boss after Boxxyfan's defeat.
- In The Gathering Storm's DLC, he returns in Alwaysland 2 and attempts to hijack the entire game for himself as well as delete the files of Catie and friends.
- Eviler than Thou: He kills Boxxyfan after the latter's defeat atop Catie's Spire; in addition, unlike Boxxyfan who wants to destroy the Third Internet to bring back his people and family of the First Internet, Rcoastee wants to destroy the net out of pure lust for power, so he can rule the Second Internet.
- Evil Redhead: He is an Omnicidal Maniac redhead like Boxxyfan. The hair is covered by his cloak most of the time, but he takes it off in the finale.
- Falsely Reformed Villain: In his appearance in Alwaysland 2, he explains his plan to create a new sequel where he undergoes a redemption arc and mends his relationship with Catie, but it's clearly just another attempt at claiming her for himself than any genuine love.
- Hijacked by Ganon: Originally, in The Gathering Storm, he was going to appear in the bonus Easy Mode quest and turn out to be behind the dark happenings, but the quest got cut. However, he does appear in the Alwaysland 2 DLC Bonus Dungeon as a Superboss and attempts to delete Catie and her friends.
- In the Hood: He wears a black cloak with a hood to disguise his true identity as Rcoastee.
- In Their Own Image: He aims to revert the Third Internet to the Second Internet and shape it however he wants.
- Kill and Replace: He murdered and hacked the account of the real Intrepid to pose as him and manipulate Catie.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Just like Boxxyfan, he wants to destroy the Third Internet, though in his case to bring back the Second Internet and rule over it. And upon defeat, he activates the last Spire to destroy the Boxxysphere, figuring that if he cannot control the Sphere, no one can.
- One-Winged Angel: Not in his original appearance, but in his reappearance in the sequel DLC, he claims a new body that is an amalgamation of several bosses like One_Wing and Legion.
- Take Over the World: Or the Internet, in his case.
- Taking You with Me: After being defeated, he activates the last Spire and tries to destroy the Boxxysphere out of spite....If I can't control the Internet... ...No one can.
- Treacherous Advisor: He helps Catie from time to time, but turns out to have been using her to get rid of Boxxyfan so he could rule the Boxxysphere.
- Villainous Breakdown: Halfway through the fight, he starts freaking out.Stop it, Catherine! I did not create this Internet to let YOU and your irrelevant little underlings TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME! If you won't return what belongs to me, then I'll obliterate you! I'LL REMOVE YOU FROM EXISTANCE!!! (after defeat) Ugh... Traitor... Ungrateful girl... Do you really think tha-
- Walking Spoiler: His true role as the real final boss and a main villain is a big reveal, as is the fact that he's not the real Intrepid.
- Wolverine Claws: His battle sprite has them.
- Yandere: Is obsessed with getting Catie to trust him and wants her to submit to him. Though he admits later on that he didn't actually care about her as a person. He was based on a real user/stalker who traveled from Germany to California to meet the real Catie without telling her.
Others
The Three Goddesses (spoilers for both games)
Svetlana, 3v3, and Boxxy
The three goddesses of the Boxxysphere, each of whom has a Spire dedicated to them. They turn out to be pieces of Catie's soul. In the sequel, they repeatedly attack Catie in her nightmares. It is further revealed that they and Catie are pieces of Virtua, the goddess of the Internet.
- Anti-Villain: They attack Catie in her nightmares, but not out of malice- they are trying to get her to help them, as STORM is destroying the Internet.
- Dual Boss: All three attack Catie at once in the sequel.
- Fusion Dance: In the sequel’s normal end, they fuse with Catie.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: The first two battles with them are impossible to win, as their attacks will ban Catie almost immediately.
- Pieces of God: They are three parts of the soul of Virtua, with Catie being the last one.
- Post-Final Boss: After stopping Arianna’s plan and successfully banishing STORM, Catie collapses and has to endure one last nightmare battle with the Goddesses. Unlike the first two, though, this one isn’t hopeless – Catie has learned a new trick (Cast Handheart) that lets her flip the script and make the fight hopeless for them instead. However, this is subverted in that it is actually NOT the last battle- there is an entire Epilogue chapter ending in the True Final Boss, Legion.
- Walking Spoiler: Them being parts of Catie and Virtua's soul is a major reveal.
