open/close all folders
Gamercat
- Berserk Button: Hates being handheld by player's guides and walkthrough. He placed Glitch in timeout just for using one.
- And don't ever tell him you're not going for all the trophies/achievements in your game.
- Big Brother Mentor: He serves this role to Glitch.
- Happily Adopted: Before living with Malcom, he was living in an animal shelter waiting for someone to adopt him.
- Iconic Item: Gamercat's red bandana (and red scarf in the winter).
- Intellectual Animal: In order to buy his games, he works on the internet as a live chat consultant.Gamercat: On the internet, nobody knows you're a cat.
- Sanity Slippage: His spending habits tend to go out of control whenever a big sale is on. He is pretty stressed about it.
- Worth It: When Glitch asked if it was worth buying the PS Vita, an expensive handheld he barely played before putting in a drawer. He replied it was worth it, as it happened the same day he met Glitch for the first time.
Glitch
- Cute Kitten: He embodies this trope in the comic. One time Gamercat uses him his advantage to try to flirt with bad results.
- Happily Adopted: Before living with Gamercat, he was wandering alone.
- Not Allowed to Grow Up: He is still a kitten even after more than a year after his introduction. Not that it's a bad thing.
- Parental Abandonment: His mom died before his first encounter with Gamercat. In the extra chapter of gamercat volume 2 is revealed that his mom spot him one night sneaking into the game store and did a Heroic Sacrifice when he was about to be ran off by a car, pushing him off of the road to save him.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: He reacts this way when he spots a small spider that was terrorizing both Malcom and the rest of the cats. Justified as he lived on the street before and needed to survive.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: He is occasionally shown puking and this is the reason why Malcom decided to name him Glitch.
Sweet
- Big Brother Instinct: Don't try to flirt with his sisters. Gamercat finds this out the hard way and decides it's smarter to give up in the attempt before he pays for it.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He opens up a little when Glitch invites him to play Mario.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He likes to play as Princess Peach in Super Mario 3D World.
Pixel
- Big Sister Mentor: Alongside Gamercat, she sometimes serves this role to both Glitch and Nano
- Gamer Chick: The token female of the group. During their first encounter, Gamercat assumes she's only interested in "girl-centric" games, but is Instantly Proven Wrong.
- Not So Above It All: She is not as obsessive at video games as Gamercat, but she's not above being giddy about them. She also turns out to be just as obsessed with completing trophies as Gamercat
, to Sweet's exasperation when he tried asking her for help. - Only Sane Man: Usually the only one to not fall for the fairy's whims or spend frivolously like Gamercat.
- Pink Is Feminine: She wears pink-framed glasses.
- Tough Love: She tries this on Gamercat to snap him back into sense, comparing it to quickly ripping off a bandage. It backfires.
Nano
- Abhorrent Admirer: She's this to Gamercat. Justified due the age difference.
- Ascended Extra: She was meant to be a one-shot character serving as a Nyan Cat reference. She later becomes a recurring extra and was retconned into being a completely different character than Nyan Cat.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She's quite clingy towards Gamercat, whom she considers her "future boyfriend" despite his clear lack of interest.
- Early-Installment Weirdness:
- Initially she was just a shout-out to Nyan Cat who gorges on Pop-Tarts.
- She was also a big fan of the Dark Souls series.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Very much so. Her favorite game series is Dark Souls and she's the only one who isn't scared of Five Nights at Freddy's.
- Pink Is Feminine: She wears a pink ribbon around her body which forms a huge bow on her back.
- Retcon: She was originally the memetic Nyan Cat, but after getting an ascended role, she ended up being her own character while the Nyan Cat reference became an Early-Installment Weirdness.
- Precocious Crush: She has a creepy crush on Gamercat.
- Shout-Out: She was the Nyan Cat at first. Then it got retconned.
- The Bus Came Back: She appeared one year after her debut, becoming her own entity.
Annoying Fairy
- Jerkass: It drives Gamercat to a nervous breakdown by telling him about all the various games coming out during a holiday season, and also driving Glitch to use the microtransactions in mobile games.
- Shout-Out: To Navi from The Legend of Zelda.
Malcolm
- Locked Out of the Loop: Due to being a human, he isn't usually involved in Gamercat's gaming shenanigans.
