General Tropes

Animalistic Abomination: Aside from the ones that are just horrifying versions of the classic Sonic characters, most of these guys are hiding their real forms in the shape of anthropomorphic animals.
Black Eyes of Evil / Red Eyes, Take Warning: As classic staples of the original creepypasta, many of the enemies faced in this mod tend to have either red or black eyes, if not outright combining them.
Evil Is Bigger: Quite a number of characters are either naturally bigger than Boyfriend or can change into much larger forms.
Funny Animals: Most of these guys are based on Sonic the Hedgehog, a series known for its anthropomorphic characters.
Obviously Evil: The vast majority of the opponents are either deranged, undergoing Body Horror of some kind, or generally just have something wrong with them. Most of them are also trying to kill Boyfriend.

Origin: Sonic.exe by Jack Cranely (Origin), created by ASTRANOMICONX on DeviantArt (Appearance)

The one-and-only titular demon who takes the form of a bloody-eyed version of everyone's lovable hedgehog. This time, he's a lot more fearsome with his new revisions... and he's no longer messing around.

Adaptational Wimp: While the original Sonic.exe was an outright Reality Warper with nigh-omnipotence in his home dimension, here despite his claims to godhood, he gets easily trumped by Girlfriend's demonic powers. Justified in that his only opponents in the original stories were humans, while Girlfriend is a demon who (according to Word of God) has the power to wipe out an entire army.
A God Am I: Just as in the original Sonic.exe story, Xeno claims to be God in order to taunt his opponent in the middle of both versions of “Too Slow”. In this case, the quote is said in a very deep and menacing voice rather than simply being text on screen, and it is followed by a particularly eerie laugh. He also would’ve let one out after his first verse in “Triple Trouble Encore” without the sinister laughter afterwards with considerably more vitriol towards BF.
"I'm gonna get ya... I am God!"
Alien Blood: As Xenophanes, the blood coming from his eyes becomes a darker shade of pink matching his crystalline quills as opposed to the blood-red that stains his hands.
Always a Bigger Fish: The all powerful nigh-reality warper is easily held off by a 19-year old demon girl.
Art Evolution: Sonic.exe had a few visual upgrades in 2.0 and it applies in each of his songs; as the main story progresses, his artwork becomes more detailed and unsettling to watch. His appearances in the 3.0 build, bar "Triple Trouble", have also been redrawn, alongside getting visibly angry after the 16-bit segment of "You Can't Run."
Big "WHAT?!": Xenophanes lets one out in the official "Final Escape" once Boyfriend goes super like he did with Fleetway before him, complete with a perplexed face in the music video.
Body Horror:
- He has an additional pair of hands inside his body, as seen in his right and down poses, as well as the ending cutscene. As the hands' positions change, it almost gives the impression that something's trying to climb out of his mouth.
- A few of his animations in "You Can't Run" show the flesh inside of his mouth as horrifically torn up.
- In "Triple Trouble", his skeleton looks like it's outgrowing the skin, with his eyelids stretching past his eye sockets, and his Slasher Smile being so wide that it exposes his jawbone. When he moves, his joints seem to have multiple possible bending points, alongside bending at angles far too harsh to look comfortable.
Creepy Souvenir: In the unused song "Missiletoe", he wears Tails' namesake around his neck like a scarf.
Composite Character: Sonic.exe's depiction in the mod seems to take a few cues from multiple versions of the character, fanmade and official.
- The purple tongues he shows off in Too Slow could be a nod to the “tentacle-like things” he’s described with in Sally.exe, a fan-made sequel to the original story.
- The hands within his mouth likely reference the 2017 remake, where X is described as having shadowy arms emerge from his mouth that he uses to steal his victims’ souls.
- Sonic.exe overall is a mix of the original character from the 2012 fangame, and the newly created Xenophanes from the upcoming reboot, starting out as the recognizable, bleeding “.exe” design and slowly transforming into his crystallized “Xeno” design as the mod goes on.
Decomposite Character: According to one of the mod's artists, the Sonic.exe faced in "Too Slow Encore" isn't Xenophanes from the main week, but a completely separate character called "Grimbo".
Evil Is Bigger: In “Triple Trouble”, he is far bigger than Boyfriend, even though the latter is far closer to the camera than him.
Evil Laugh:
- He reuses his "Kefka laugh" to signal the Song Style Shift at the 1/3 mark of "Too Slow", as well as at the end of a few of his turns in "You Can't Run".
- He also lets loose a decidedly different laugh in "Too Slow" after declaring himself God.
Evil Sounds Deep: His voice is an echoing baritone that only helps in making him more intimidating. It only becomes even deeper in the voice lines during You Can’t Run Encore.
Four-Fingered Hands: In "Too Slow" and "You Can't Run", Sonic.exe has four fingers per hand. Once he goes One-Winged Angel for "Triple Trouble", he gains an extra finger on each hand.
Flunky Boss: "Triple Trouble" is this, as most of the song is against his minions with Xenophanes appearing in between them. Downplayed as Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik aren't the average mooks.
Ghostly Gape: His mouth never closes for the entirety of "Too Slow", and outstretches itself every time he sings.
Golden Super Mode: As implied in "Final Escape (Encore)", he would've used the Chaos Emeralds to go under a super transformation. There also is a video that features unofficial concepts of what it was that can be viewed here.
Glamour Failure: While he starts out looking mostly identical to Sonic, minus the different "creative liberties" he takes with the guise, Xenophanes begins to let elements of his true form slip in "You Can't Run". Notably, his quills start fading into a bright purple at the tips, his proportions begin to elongate, and the skin around his mouth begins tearing open to accommodate his larger set of teeth.
Ominous Pipe Organ: Subtle, but the Voice of the Legion effect he gains after he assumes his scariest form in "Triple Trouble" adds the tones of a pipe organ. It's quite fitting for a being that claims to be God.
One-Winged Angel: After losing to Boyfriend again in "You Can't Run", he transforms into his true form during "Triple Trouble", where he's much bigger, more intimidating, and also far harder to beat than in the previous songs.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Sonic.exe is notorious for preferring to scare the life out of people (sometimes literally), and this is reflected in "Too Slow" which has a gratuitous amount of Jump Scare moments. Once he takes his first loss however, the Jump Scares stop, signifying that Xeno is no longer messing around.
Power Echoes: While his voice in Too Slow and You Can't Run, both for notes and his speaking lines, is very deep, Xenophanes' voice at the end of Needlem0use's trailer uses a moderately higher pitch, but with a echoing effect instead.
Xenophanes: (To Luther after the latter denies Sarah's request for a rap battle) Could you repeat that?
Promoted to Playable: Both "Missiletoe" and an unnamed song against a Leaker would see you take full control as him instead of Boyfriend.
Purple Is Powerful: As Xenophanes, his fur is purple, and he's no longer messing around once he's transformed.
Rage Breaking Point: After losing again in "You Can't Run", he gets so enraged at Boyfriend that he actually screams at him to die (mind you, he is normally against the idea of killing people for real. This is also exemplified even more so in the two unused lines “I’m gonna have so much fun tearing you apart!” and “Why can’t I kill you, runt?!”), before unleashing a massive Skyward Scream and turning into his true form.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes, when they aren't completely blank, have glowing red pupils.
Retraux: Partway through "You Can't Run", the art style switches to that of the Genesis Sonic games, complete with 16-bit graphics and Sonic.exe reverting to Classic Sonic's design.
Skyward Scream: He releases a rage-fueled roar after "You Can't Run", causing the screen to be covered by red static.
Sore Loser: After losing in "Too Slow", he smashes his microphone into jarringly 3D pieces and grabs Boyfriend, ready to kill him. Even after being blasted in the face by Girlfriend, he is still enraged enough to attempt to grab Boyfriend again with his mouth hand and burn the landscape around him.
Tears of Blood: His eyes are perpetually bleeding in most adaptations of the character, and this mod is no different.
Villainous Breakdown: The normally smug Sonic.exe loses his composure after "Too Slow" and only continues to lose it even more in "You Can't Run", to point where he's letting out animalistic screeches and screaming at Boyfriend to just die. The unfinished build of the 3.0 update further pronounces his breakdown in "You Can't Run", switching to a different sprite sheet where he looks absolutely pissed.
Voice of the Legion: Gains a second, higher tone to his voice in "Triple Trouble", giving his voice this effect.
"X" Makes Anything Cool: Xenophanes takes after Lord X here, with his name starting with an X, and having an X shaped scar on his chest during “Triple Trouble”, much like his counterpart, although the scar looks more like a K in-game due to the camera angle.
Your Soul Is Mine!: The fate that befalls those who get caught by him, and Boyfriend's fate should he lose to Xeno. Xeno himself also says this trope word for word at the end of his boast in "You Can't Run Encore".

Soul Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/exe_souls_idle.png

SO MANY SOULS TO PLAY WITH - SO LITTLE TIME. WOULD YOU AGREE?

Origin: Sonic.exe by Jack Cranely

The two close friends of the fastest thing alive and his arch-enemy, who were claimed as Sonic.exe's victims. All three of them were brought back from the dead for Triple Trouble... but it turns out that they aren't really willing to serve Sonic.exe as he would like them to be.

Adaptational Badass: In the original creepypasta, Robotnik was the least able to put up a fight of the three due to being a completely normal human. In the mod, his segment of "Triple Trouble" is generally regarded as the hardest due to its increased BPM, sudden flip in perspective, and his segment lasting the longest of the characters involved next to Sonic.exe himself. It's even hinted by the fact that his segment starts in the middle of Boyfriend's turn and that red static appears before being dissipated during his segment that he's outright stealing Sonic.exe's turn.
An Arm and a Leg: Tails and Knuckles both have one of their arms torn off, while Robotnik is missing both of his hands.
Back from the Dead: They were all killed by Sonic.EXE throughout the original game, but now they're back! It's certainly not pretty, though, as they retain all of Sonic.exe's defilements to their bodies.
Bloodless Carnage: Outside of Tails' Tears of Blood, the trio are surprisingly clean for reanimated corpses.
Body Horror: Not hard to assume considering they're all dead. Robotnik takes the cake though; he looks like his corpse was simply reanimated, with his brain visible from inside his eye sockets.
Cyclops: Tails' down animation has both his eye holes merge into one, showing only one pupil. Oh, and he's staring right at you.
Demoted to Dragon: In a sense, Robotnik's often the Big Bad of the mainline Sonic games, but in Triple Trouble, he is used as an undead lackey for Xenophanes in the song alongside Tails and Knuckles.
Empty Shell: Implied with Knuckles; his vocals are more subdued compared to Tails and Robotnik, and it's taken literally since there's absolutely nothing inside his mouth and eyeholes.
Evil Laugh: Robotnik does this at the end of his first segment (and several times after) after realizing that not even Xenophanes can stand a chance against Boyfriend.
Eye Scream: All three are missing their eyes. Tails in particular looks like he had his eyes messily torn out.
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Tails stares at the player during his down pose and in his losing icon.
Ghostly Gape: Knuckles' mouth always hangs open, showing a black abyss devoid of detail.
Gross-Up Close-Up: Early in Tails' segment and at the start of Knuckles' and Eggman's segments, there are minor jumpscares with very detailed drawings of each corpse's face.
My Brain Is Big: Befitting his original Mad Scientist status, Eggman's defining Body Horror feature is his large exposed brain, protruding through his eyeholes and the crack in the middle of his head.
Personality Remnant: Compared to Tails and Knuckles, who are little more than shells of their former selves, Robotnik retains much of his bombastic and hammy personality, shown through his expressive poses and tendency to let out a laugh at the end of his verses.
The Quiet One: Knuckles' part is quieter and more mellow than Tails and Robotnik's.
Undead Child: Tails was killed at only 8 years old.

Majin/Mazin Sonic

The fun never ends!

^{Click here to see him in Endless OG}

たのしさ∞

セガ・エンタープライゼス^Translation

Origin: Sonic CD by SEGA

A frightening Easter Egg found in Sonic CD's Sound Test. He makes his grand return by challenging Boyfriend to a friendly rap battle in a forest full of Mazin Sonics... but now he's more than just a creepy image containing a developer's message.

Affably Evil: If he is a villain, he's certainly a friendly one. Some question if he's even an antagonist at all.
Art Evolution: As of Round 2, he's considerably smaller and has lighting and geometry similar to the original image he hails from. Amusingly, he looks softer and less detailed in Endless OG, but still quite a bit more geometric than his 1.0 version.
Decomposite Character: According to Word of God, the Majin Sonic seen in the Encore version of "Endless" actually is a different Majin, as proven by his voice.
Early-Installment Weirdness: His .fla file shows his oldest idle animation looking like this.◊ His body should NOT be able to support that massive head.
Face Framed in Shadow: Used to portray what little emotion he shows outside of joy, used in his left and right animations. It also serves as his losing icon.
Frozen Face: He's never seen not smiling wide, and his face only moves just to open his jaw a bit.
Perpetual Smiler: He never stops smiling, no matter what. This also applies to the others in the background, and Boyfriend if he loses.
Slasher Smile: In his left and right animations, his grin looks rather murderous with the shadow obscuring his face.
Suddenly Voiced: Fittingly enough, he briefly says "The fun never ends!" in the Encore version of "Endless". It's even more jarring considering that Majin never had a voiced chromatic before said song.
Token Heroic Orc: Word of God has called him an outlier in his species, which are actually malevolent.
Walking Spoiler: It’s hard to talk about him without bringing up Boyfriend’s fate if he loses.
Vocal Evolution: In the Encore version of "Endless", Majin Sonic sings with a voiced chromatic scale, in sharp contrast to his former Genesis trumpet "voice" in the other versions of Endless.

LET ME SHOW YOU MY OTHER FRIEND KNUCKLES!!!! KNUCKLES SAY HI!!!

Origin: Created by Cherribun

on X/Twitter

Originally starting off a simple Punny Name often given to Sonic.exe's current sprites, he was later on turned into a completely separate character by Cherribun, and stars as the alleged main opponent of the mod's Encore mode^note. His creator even granted him permission to use her old Twitter account^note. If you dare name him something that isn't Grimbo, you'd be actively wrong!

Adaptational Heroism: Unlike most other versions of Sonic.exe, Grimbo is actually not a bad guy at all, but instead an outright hero, wanting to help others and be friends with them.
Creepy Souvenir: In the unused song "Slaybells", Grimbo wears Tails' namesake around his neck like a scarf.
Caps Lock: In nearly every single one of his tweets as well as his one and only voiceline in "You Can't Run (Encore)", Grimbo seemingly always yells, as his subtitles are always written in capital letters.
Character Blog: Had a Twitter account that was his creator's old account, but it sadly was deactivated later on.
Denser and Wackier: Originally, Grimbo would have had changes to the original Sonic.exe's design, such as being smaller or fun-sized, but in the end, he ended up as just another take on Sonic.exe.
Decomposite Character: Despite Grimbo looking almost the same as Xenophanes, he actually turns out to be a separate character from the latter.
Expy: Clearly appears to be this to the Sonic meme character Santiago. Both of which are characters who look like their original counterparts, but actually aren't the real characters, on what many people think.
Golden Super Mode: As implied in "Final Escape (Encore)", Grimbo would've used the Chaos Emeralds to go under a super transformation. There also is a video that features unofficial concepts of what it was that can be viewed here.
Fourth-Wall Observer: Really now?^note See Medium Awareness for details.
Lethal Joke Character: Similar to Sanic.exe and Sunky before him, Grimbo (alongside Coldsteel, Silly.TIFF and Sonichu) are one of the only few joke characters in the mod.
Laughably Evil: Unlike Xenophanes, Grimbo is not evil at all, instead being a good-hearted EXE that actually wants to play and be friends with others.
Medium Awareness: In a tweet posted on his official Twitter account, Grimbo insisted of him being his own original character, despite he himself being a fictional character. At one time he warned Funkipedia that he's actually a separate character from Xeno, and even ordered the wiki to fix this up before he gets sad:

Grimbo: I AM WATCHING YOU FUNKIPEDIA, THIS IS FUCKED UP
I AM A SEPARATE PERSON FROM MY GOOD FRIEND XENOPHANES (I'M NOT SURE IF HE KNOWS WHO I AM)
AND I AM NOT A JOKE PLS FIX THIS BEFORE I GET SAD :(

Original Generation: Was "made" for the mod.
Retraux: Much like Xenophanes, partway through "You Can't Run (Encore)", the art style switches to that of the Genesis Sonic games, complete with 16-bit graphics and Sonic.exe reverting to Classic Sonic's design. But unlike Xenophanes, Grimbo more accurately resembles the actual Sonic instead and unlike Xeno, his chromatic actually changes.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He's this to Xenophanes in Encore mode. Being nearly like how Xenophanes is.
Sarcasm Mode: Despite his fun personality, Grimbo has a short temper, as implied by his extreme anger at Boyfriend in "You Can't Run (Encore)".
Suddenly Speaking: At one point in "You Can't Run (Encore)", Grimbo actually starts speaking lyrics to the song, obviously venting out his frustrations to Boyfriend:

Grimbo: THE GAZE OF A GOD IS LEFT BY NONE.
YOU CAN’T HIDE AND YOU CAN’T RUN.
BRIMSTONE SURROUNDS US AND YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE.
TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH BECAUSE YOUR SOUL IS MINE.

Trademark Favorite Food: Chicken nuggets. Even his creator Cherribun loves to feed him them.
"X" Makes Anything Cool: Inverted. Unlike Xenophanes, Grimbo's second phase lacks the iconic X on his chest to make himself distinct from the original.

Lord X

WELCOME BACK! REMEMBER THIS?

^{Click here to see him in Gotta Go}

I am the first... but not the original.

Origin: Sonic.EXE: Round 2 by Jack Cranely, Sonic PC Port by JoeDoughBoi

An alternate version of Sonic.exe, as well as the supposed true antagonist of the original story's canon, who debuted in Sonic.exe: Round 2 and was later reworked and expanded upon in Sonic PC Port. Unlike in his original story, Lord X isn't out to enact some grand (and questionably-written) conspiracy, but he will certainly steal your soul if you do fail in beating him.

Adaptational Comic Relief: In his original story, Lord X is meant to be a more serious version of the original Sonic.Exe. His appearance here as of the 2.0 update is very much the opposite of that, as most of his poses are very goofy and bombastic, implying that he's not taking the rap battle particularly seriously.
Affably Evil: Unlike the other evil Sonics, he's not taking the song particularly seriously and he seems much less outwardly nasty than his counterpart. This doesn't make him any less of a threat to Boyfriend though, and he fully plans on taking Boyfriend's soul should he lose.
Art Evolution: He got a visual overhaul, making him less generic and more comedic in his animations. His animations are a bit choppier in the 2.5/3.0 build, likely to fit in more with the rest of the characters.
The Big Guy: In both V1 and V2 of the mod, he's shown to be a lot larger than the rest of the cast. The new version shows him to be taller than BF when he's squatting. Makes you wonder how tall he is when standing upright.
Body Horror: His up pose has two skeletal arms stretch his mouth wide open while a third one connected with a strange purple ligament (which could possibly be his tongue) holds the microphone.
Cold Ham: His speaking voice, as heard in the game over screens, is quiet and raspy, not showing much emotion. However, his poses in the song, as detailed below, are very bombastic.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Well, as cruel as it can be for a Fourth-Wall Observer. The end of "FATE" implies after BF beats him, it makes X hard crash, even if its not specified he really is dead or maybe even worse.
Denser and Wackier: Compared to his original sprites, his rehaul in Round 2 doesn't even look like he's taking you seriously. The background also features a sign indicating that no, the flailing arms behind the bush are not from Knuckles. Downplayed considering he's still a version of Sonic.exe, thus an Eldritch Abomination, and wants you dead regardless.
Exotic Eye Designs: His pre-2.0 incarnation had crosses for pupils, similar to the one on his stomach.
Fourth-Wall Observer: While all the other Sonic.exe variants are typically entities that haunt specific games, Lord X is aware of the fact that he is a fictional entity from a horror story that is now in a game; he cites that he is "the first" in a typical chronological sense, but not "the original" since he was created after the original took off. He makes mention of the fact that his stage has been completely redone, with new artwork for himself and his version of Hide & Seek. One of his Game Over voice lines is a spectrogram, the usage of which implies that he's addressing the player more than he is Boyfriend. He even makes an appearance outside of the stage proper to call the player out for trying to use Botplay on the mod.
Game-Over Man: He has some things to say if you die to him.
"Hello... old friend."
"I am the first... but not the original."
"Do you enjoy the improvements I've made?"
"Once I have your soul, we will play... Forever."
Genuine Human Hide: His true physical form is hidden beneath the more conventionally Sonic-like shape, which appears ill-fitting due to how certain parts of it like the nose or shoes sag like cloth.
Just Toying with Them: His lackadaisical nature and his status as the one who disables the botplay option implies the main reason there's a fight at all is because he thinks it's more fun that way.
Mimic Species: His chosen vessel seems to be made as if he doesn't want to be Sonic, but a type of wilder hedgehog that can be mistaken for Sonic.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: His up pose reveals that he has at least three extra arms that reside within his body.
Out of Focus: For the 3.0 build, he has entirely the same content as 2.0, barring a choppier idle animation and new icons. He was originally meant to get a remaster and encore version for "Cycles", new songs called "Hellbent" and "Gatekeepers", a role in "Slaybells," and even a redesign◊ for the Encore version of "Cycles" but the build does not feature any of them.
Orwellian Retcon: His original song, "Execution", was completely replaced with "Cycles", not even being in the game's files anymore.
Villainous Friendship: He's stated to canonically be close friends with MX.
"X" Makes Anything Cool: His name is Lord X, and is the most well known version of Sonic.exe other than the original. His inspiration took this further, just being named "X." Also shows in his design, with an X shaped scar on his stomach and, as far as his canon design says, X shaped pupils.
Your Days Are Numbered: Downplayed. Because he's a creature made of sentient antimatter, his vessel is rapidly decaying from the constant exposure to his own essence. He knows he'll die eventually, but doesn't really care since death doesn't have any of the same connotations to him as it would a human being.
Your Soul Is Mine!: As detailed Game-Over Man, one of his game over quotes has him telling Boyfriend that he plans on taking his soul and "play forever" with him.
Decomposite Character: The opponent in "Gotta Go", was originally thought to be an entity named "Redglove". However, this was retconned by the devs, with the opponent in said song actually being Lord X.
Losing Your Head: In his right pose◊, Lord X's head detaches from his body and is barely held from being completely seperated by fleshy tendrils attached to it from within his neck.
Suddenly Speaking: At one point in "Gotta Go", Lord X actually sings lyrics to the song instead of solely being confined to a Genesis sound effect:
We run now as fast we can
Would you say it's gone to plan?
Destination burning so bright
Existence in shadows
Escape from the light
Now you'll see
Come with me
Faster

Tails Doll

Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?

^{Click here to see him in Soulless}

You are coming with me... Forever.

Origin: Sonic R conspiracy theories, fanmade Sonic.EXE media

The cursed doll made by Dr. Eggman in the image of Sonic's best friend and brother figure. Often portrayed in fan media as Sonic.exe's ally, but sometimes his enemy. As the entity who curses players of Sonic R under certain conditions, it challenges Boyfriend to a rap battle... but with horrific consequences should he lose.

Adaptational Badass: Zigzagged Trope. It's stronger than the canon Tails Doll, who couldn't even speak and could barely float, but it's weaker than most incarnations of the creepypasta (which turn it into a slasher-level killer) and way below the version seen in official Archie comics (where it is a straight-up eldritch monster). Its look is more akin to its more popular creepypasta variation during "Soulless", however.
Art Shift: As opposed to all the other songs, Tails Doll's battle is rendered entirely in Sega Saturn-style low-poly 3D models. He returns to a 2D artstyle for "Soulless," albeit one with much more detail than the rest of the mod, so as to show off its bloody claws and teeth.
Creepy Doll: He's an evil floating doll that hangs people to death and is very unsettling to look at. "Soulless" gives him a bloodier appearance with visible claws and teeth, and has him pulled around by puppet strings.
Hanging Around: If Boyfriend loses, Tails Doll does... something that ends with Boyfriend hanging from a noose so fast that he's still holding onto his microphone by the time he dies (though it still drops to the ground anyways).
Non-Standard Character Design: Unlike nearly every other opponent, who is either drawn in the normal FNF style or 32-bit sprites, Tails Doll is a 3D model, something foreign in the FNF modding community itself and especially the rest of the mod. It’s unused sprites in Soulless also line up with this, having a more detailed and sketchy appearance than everyone else in the mod.
Perverse Puppet: It has puppet strings connected to its body in "Soulless," alongside a much bloodier, creepier look.
Power Floats: Just like in its home game, Tails Doll is always floating above the ground.

Fleetway Super Sonic

Free! Free at last! Now I will have my revenge... and destroy everything!

HAH! Hahaha! Let's see how fast you can really go!

Origin: Sonic the Comic by SEGA and Fleetway Comic Publishings

Originating from a British comic adaptation of the Sonic series, this unhinged entity is perhaps the darkest variant of the most iconic empowered form for the Blue Blur.

Big "WHAT?!": Lets one out once Boyfriend gets a Super Form of his own, signaling the start of his Villainous Breakdown.
Big "SHUT UP!": Near the end of the song, he yells this at Boyfriend.
"Ghh! Shut up!"
Boss Banter: Super tends to shout insults and threats at Boyfriend as his song progresses.
Evil Brit: Subverted, as even though he originates from a British adaption of Sonic, he trained himself to have an American accent out of shame.
Evil Is Hammy: Is Sonic's Superpowered Evil Side, and is by far the loudest and most talkative of all the opponents of the mod.
Eye Beams: During one part of "Chaos", he tries to blast Boyfriend with one of these, which will One-Hit Kill Boyfriend if it's not dodged. Also, if Boyfriend loses the song, Super Sonic will kill him with one of these, reducing him to ashes and his blue balls.
Flipping the Bird: He does this in his right pose.
Game-Over Man: He loves flinging insults whenever you lose. In fact, he even takes some shots towards the other characters of the mod and the stories each of them comes from.
"What does hyper-realistic even mean?"
Golden Super Mode: A given, since he's a variant of Super Sonic.
Jerkass: Being aggressive, rude, murderous, and a Smug Super, he's not the most amazing person to be around.
Laughably Evil: He won’t shut up during his song, going from snarking to trying to outdo Boyfriend out of spite.
Out of Focus: In the 3.0 build released by MarStarBro. Other than Lord X, he's the only returning 2.0 opponent to not have a new song or any form of overhaul, outside of getting borders for the beginning cutscene of "Chaos" and new icons. A redesign◊ was planned, along with new songs titled "Heroes & Villains" and "Running Wild", but the build doesn't feature any of them.
Pop-Cultured Badass: He's well aware of memes, not only the ones surrounding Sonic.EXE or Sonic the Hedgehog as a whole, but outside of those circles as well.
"That was a nice argument. Unfortunately, you were burnt to a crisp by my laser eyes!"
Smug Super: Pun aside, Super is just as powerful (if not even more so) than the form is in the games, and just as cocky as Sonic himself is. Seeing Boyfriend survive for so long and even turn super himself pisses him off as a result.
Superpowered Evil Side: Basically. Subverted in the comics for a while, but here he's at his prime.
Villainous Breakdown: Once Boyfriend undertakes a Super Form of his own, Fleetway goes from taunting him to angrily growling at him.

Starved

little fox, let us dine.

^{Click here to see him in Prey}

i love that hedgehog

Origin: Vs. Sonic.EXE, created by DumbieDumbie

An alternate variant of the infamous Dr. Robotnik... but with an unending case of primal hunger. Once he ate a burnt Flicky corpse he stumbled across while cleaning his lab shortly after the events of the first Sonic game, he gained a large craving for wildlife, altering his Badniks so they could capture and cook the poor animals for him to eat, and ultimately ends up destroying the environments of both Christmas Island and South Island. Eventually, continued meals from wildlife had left him unsatisfied over time, so he takes sight of his next prey and arch-enemy, Sonic, who he succeeds in capturing and eating. It seems that Starved has invited his version of Tails for dinner, so here’s hoping that he doesn’t end up as another one of his meals...

all lowercase letters: He speaks in italicized lowercase words, typically in old-timey fonts like Times New Roman.
Affably Evil: He's still as intelligent as he's ever been, and acts very well-mannered towards other humans (unless they oppose gay rights, although he wouldn't eat them)... But he's also destroyed the ecosystem of several islands out of addictive compulsion.
Badass Normal: Compared to the other characters in the mod, he's just the regular Robotnik that we know. However, his primal hunger ended up not only destroying the ecosystems of both Christmas and South Islands, but he actually succeeds in capturing and eating Sonic.
Bald of Evil: Even more so than normal, considering his mustache has fallen out.
Baldness Means Sickness: He has lost the few hair he had left (namely his moustache), presumably as a side-effect of overeating and an unhealthy diet.
Black Eyes of Evil: Starved's eyes are pitch black, lacking even pupils. Disregarding the fact that he eats wildlife and Mobians, he's an alternate version of Robotnik.
Even Evil Has Standards:
- Despite his insatiable hunger, he's thankfully patient enough to have his victims properly cooked beforehand. He also isn't a cannibal, and is in fact rather affable to other humans.
- Outside of canon, it's confirmed through Word of God that Starved would never go to Chick-Fil-A, as he hates companies that donate to anti-LGBT. He's also been confirmed to be reasonable to everyone and is not really a monster.
Evil Chef: He's a Mad Scientist obsessed with catching and cooking animals and Mobians alike.
Evil Is Hammy: Despite his Horror Hunger, his poses in "Fight Or Flight" are just as enthusiastic as Eggman is normally.
Expy: For Revie_03’s Genesys, since that was what he was initially based on before allegations came out against her. However, his inclusion after Genesys was cut was nothing but a simple coincidence, even if the character was inspired by Genesys.
Growling Gut: You can hear his bottomless pit of a stomach rumbling during his voice line in "Prey".
Horror Hunger: Downplayed; while he doesn't eat humans, he does have a bottomless stomach when it comes to wildlife and Mobians, to the point he had obtained the Time Stones not to take over the world, but to give him an endless supply of animals to eat.
I'm a Humanitarian: Fortunately averted, while he has no problems cooking and eating wildlife and Mobians like Sonic, he doesn't have any desire for human flesh, ironically making him one of the few opponents in the mod (alongside Sunky) that has no harmful intentions whatsoever towards Boyfriend... which is why Tails is facing him, not Boyfriend.
Mundanger: What makes him so terrifying is that unlike all the other opponents of the mod, there is nothing supernatural about him whatsoever. He’s just a version of Robotnik with an insatiable hunger for Mobian meat that caused him to go off the slippery slope and destroy the environments of two islands.
Nightmare Face: His face is rather creepy and realistic. He has lost his moustache, his eyes are sunken to the point of appearing like hollow holes, and he sports a disturbing grin. In his sprite in "Prey", his face looks more like a skull covered in rotting flesh than something belonging to a human being. How he has come to be so deformed is not entirely clear, but it can be presumed to be results of overeating and an unhealthy diet.
Non-Standard Character Design: Unlike everybody else (who have the cartoony faces of Sonic characters despite being monstrous beings), Starved's face is completely realistic. Even for different incarnations of Robotnik, his appearance is very off since his mustache has fallen out and his skin has turned red from malnutrition. Additionally, he’s one of the only characters in the mod whose idle is nearly entirely static, with the most amount of movement being the outline shaking somewhat.
One-Track-Minded Hunger: Played for Horror; he will do absolutely anything to get food from the wildlife of Christmas Island and South Island, even if his actions will completely annihilate the environments of both.
Politically Correct Villain: Word of God is that Starved hates companies that donate to anti-LGBT, implying he supports gay rights.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: Even moreso than the original Robotnik due to his red skin.
Sapient Eat Sapient: His palette includes Mobians, including Sonic and Tails. Fortunately, this doesn't expand to humans.
Token Human: Malnutrition-induced red skin and Horror Hunger notwithstanding, at the end of the day, he's still the Robotnik and has no supernatural powers whatsoever, making him this amongst the cast of evil Sonics and Tails.
Uncanny Valley: His face is incredibly detailed and realistic, in comparison to the cartoony body of Eggman.
Villainous Glutton: His main motivation is to satisfy his endless hunger by feeding on Mobians.
Wham Line: In "Prey", when mocked by Sonic for not doing a good job on Furnace, he says this chilling Pre Ass Kicking One Liner as he turns to reveal his disfigured face.

Starved: you don't even know your fate, hedgehog...

Would Hurt a Child: He has already killed and eaten Sonic, who is 15, Amy, who is 12, and Ray, who is 8 or 10, and looks to be doing the same to Tails, who is also 8.

Furnace

THE DOCTOR REQUESTED HIS MEAL, AND I SHALL BE THE ONE TO COOK IT RIGHT UP FOR HIM!

TARGET SPOTTED.

Origin: Vs. Sonic.EXE, created by Revie_03

A modified version of Metal Sonic meant to capture and cook Sonic created by Starved. He was originally intended to be included in update 3.0, but was cut due to his creator leaving the development team and requesting that his work be removed, though Prey would still get added to the unfinished 2.5 build.

Advertised Extra: Despite starting the song, and the song generally considered to belong to him, Furnace leaves "Prey" halfway through for Staved to take his place. Until the end of the song, where he flies into Sonic, taking him by surprise.
And Now for Someone Completely Different: Furnace himself is not an .exe, nor demonic in any way. He was just rebuilt by a heavily corrupted Eggman to capture and cook Sonic.
Composite Character: Furnace has Metal Sonic's head, Mecha Sonic's body, and the song takes place in Bad Future Stardust Speedway.
Evil Is Burning Hot: He exists to fry Sonic to a tasty crisp, to the extent that his chest and eyes are a burning bright orange due to the raging fire in his torso.
Evil Sounds Deep: Not as much as his master, but his deeper, robotic tone melds nicely with the lighter voice picked for Sonic in "Prey".
Evil Wears Black: Or rather, Evil is Black, as Furnace trades his steel and blue colors for being completely black - save for the orange fires burning within - to better resemble a stereotypical furnace.
Foreshadowing: During one of Sonic's longer turns against Starved, Furnace can be seen flying under the road and past the two, making clear what is soon to happen.
Hero Killer: What sets him apart from the other Evil Knockoffs of Sonic is that he succeeds in defeating Sonic.
Killer Robot: Just like the other Evil Knockoffs of Sonic Robotnik has created, his goal is to kill the original. And he succeeds in his mission.
Mundane Made Awesome: Not every furnace has the ability to fly at supersonic speeds.
Mundane Utility: Is a killer robotic clone of Sonic that uses freaking furnace flames to fly at super speeds to catch up to its targets and assassinate them..... only to cook them into meals and serve them to his gluttonous master.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: In contrast to Metal Sonic, who has an AI advanced enough to give him a personality and whose vendetta with Sonic is very much personal, the only thing Furnace is heard saying is "TARGET SPOTTED" and he seems to be more or less mindless in his pursuit of Sonic... but that makes him all the more effective.
Unskilled, but Strong: Other than the ability to fly and his Playing with Fire abilities, Furnace lacks most of the powers of the other Evil Knockoffs of Sonic Robotnik has created, but this doesn't stop him from killing Sonic by ramming into him.

Fatal Error

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whatsoccurred.png

WELL, LOOKS LIKE I MUST MAKE MY PRESENCE KNOWN.

^{Click here to see his true form}

YOUR. CODE. IS. MINE.

Origin: The Fatalverse by AnarackWarriors

An unruly offspring to a computer program known as Iris/Fatal Prime, he ended up going into a ROM of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and took it over for himself once he converted Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik, and Mecha Sonic into his puppets. After conquering this new world, he now plans on enacting a multiversal plan known as Codename: EMPEROR, wishing to becoming bigger than even Fatal Prime herself. Today, however, he's currently interested in having a rap battle with a certain blue-haired misfit...

He was removed from the mod following his creator's departure, but is planned to be the focus of another mod known as The Fatal Files with an updated version of "Fatality".

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Iris herself was defective, as she started rifling through her creator's files despite that action not being her goal, leading to her attempted deletion and subsequent corruption into Fatal Prime. Fatal Error is similarly defective, as he took more of Fatal Prime's data than what was needed, becoming more sentient than his kin and developing a massive hatred of Fatal Prime.
Antagonistic Offspring: Fatal Error absolutely despises his creator, Fatal Prime, and desires to become stronger than Prime.
Art Shift: Like with "Sunshine", Fatal_Error's song, "Fatality", takes place in environments befitting his storyline. However, it's not 3D models this time, but 2D pixelated sprites, even for Boyfriend himself.
The Assimilator: He took over Sonic's data, before killing Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik, and Mecha Sonic and using their bodies as its personal puppets. The final scene shift in "Fatality" implies he also claimed Girlfriend prior to the events of the song, and should Boyfriend lose, he ends up suffering the same fate.
Digital Abomination: A defective piece of Fatal Prime that fused himself with the data of Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
The Dividual: Inverted. Thanks to taking more data than he had to from Fatal Prime, Fatal Error has higher sentience than the other Fatal Copies, which includes a sadistic view of entertainment. Once he consumed the data of the Sonic 3 and Knuckles ROM he placed himself in, he had set out to become stronger than Prime.
Empathic Environment: In the final 3.0 build, Fatality takes place in Launch Base Zone with some minor glitching in the background, which quickly bugs out into an area filled with fatal error messages with Error's victims in the background. This stays until the last leg of the song, which turns into an empty space displaying images of Sonic and Girlfriend in the background.
Evil Brit: He's actually British, and speaks with the accent to boot. Averted for his enemies, the Gs, who have been confirmed to be Italian mobsters.
Evil Versus Evil: Just because Error is a Digital Abomination that hates its creator and tortures the ones it has assimilated doesn’t mean that Prime is much better.
Generation Xerox: Iris, a sophisticated AI, ended up overstepping her boundaries, leading her creator to freak out and attempt to erase her, to which she responded by going completely berserk and hijacking his system. Fatal Error was created by Iris (now Fatal Prime) to be a subservient AI, but came out completely corrupted and more sentient than he was supposed to be. Disgusted and disturbed by his existence, Fatal Prime sent him on a mission to gather data, while actually severing him from her system. As Fatal Prime once took revenge against her creator, Fatal Error now seeks to do the same to her.
Genuine Human Hide: Or well, Hedgehog Hide. Fatal's hedgehog form is portrayed by him as literally wearing Sonic's corrupted, hollowed-out body like a suit. The black "belly" is actually the hole he made to crawl inside, and the cross pattern is his true eye.
Hope Spot: Fatal pulls this on Sonic during his story's finale, promising him freedom if he can overpower all four code puppets. Of course, Sonic does so, albeit hesitantly... only for Fatal to back out of the deal afterward and leaves Sonic in the deepest part of his mind, where he can never get free again.
Interface Screw: Throughout "Fatality", Fatal Error summons error pop-ups to obscure the screen, which the player must click on to get rid of. These get more persistent until the song ends. This gets foreshadowed early on should the player attempt to open his DLC application without the main software active.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Fatal Error, after ripping off both of Sonic's arms and taking over his data, grew two sets of arms as replacements.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Not for Error himself, but rather he's the only opponent that Boyfriend takes seriously unlike the rest of the cast. Though this is implied to be justified by a image of Girlfriend turned into a code puppet being seen during the last leg of "Fatality".
One-Winged Angel: Zig-zagged; it’s never stated if Error’s true form is stronger than his Sonic form, but it only really comes out when it’s going all out. Fatal Error’s Critical and Emperor forms, however, play the trope straight.
Ominous Visual Glitch: In the final build partway through his song, this happens to Fatal Error himself, with his body glitching out while error messages cover his face. Alongside this, error messages appear to cover the screen, requiring the player to dismiss them themselves in order to see. The facial glitches disappear in his One-Winged Angel form.
Reality Warper: Since he is a sort of sentient virus, he is this in digital dimensions. Instead of playing by the rules, he can effectively attack, corrupt and rewrite data directly. To denizens of a video game world, this makes him an Outside-Context Problem, a higher-dimensional being that can essentially mangle reality itself and is impossible to fight by conventional means.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: His color pallet is pretty simple: red and black.
Synthetic Voice Actor: His voice in his reveal is text-to-speech.

Sarah Henderson/NeedleM0use

NeedleM0use

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noodlemoose.png

THERE IS NO GOD. ONLY ME.

tO thINK aFtER AlL thiSt IME... ThIS iS hOw I Was BroUGHT BACk

Origin: Needlem0use by ShutUpJojo

The soul of a young woman who was killed in a drunken fight at a party and placed under a lake to hide her body. Eventually, her soul is grafted onto the data of Sonic in an incomplete collection of the first three Sonic Genesis games after SEGA built their workplace over her “grave”. After being driven insane by 30 years of isolation, Sarah now seeks revenge on her friends or anyone who tries to dig deeper into the disk's code... but right now, having a rap battle against everyone’s favorite blue-haired Fearless Fool seems more fun to her.

Art Shift: While singing against Sarah, Boyfriend and Girlfriend take on the art style of her home series.
Bait-and-Switch: Her teaser makes it seem like she's going to do something horrible to Luther... only for her to pull out a microphone and switch out her Nightmare Face for a goofy smile, changing her tone from threatening and deep to chipper and giddy. Luther is not amused.
Denser and Wackier: Unlike how she is in her home series, Sarah acts incredibly goofy in her portrayal in this mod. As noted above, she immediately switches to a happy-go-lucky attitude when proposing a rap battle to Luther. In addition, her poses throughout the song seem goofier in nature compared to her true nature... at least, those of the Sonic vessel.
Freudian Excuse: She was killed in a bar fight, and ended up stuck in an incomplete compilation disk, fusing with Sonic's data to become what she is now.
Limp and Livid: NeedleM0use's poses invoke this, being revealed partway in to be a literal puppet for Sarah to act through.
Non-Standard Character Design: Her 3.0 art is drawn in the art style of her home series rather than in the typical FNF style.
Official Couple: Initially was this with EXE, however the ship sank following the Revie allegations.
Pay Evil unto Evil: Her main goal, or at least what it seems to be, is to get back at her friends who are responsible for her death and to seal their souls in the game with her.
Perpetual Smiler: Neither she nor the Sonic vessel she uses stop smiling at any point in her song.
Purple Is Powerful: NeedleM0use's fur is purple and she's an analogue to Sonic.exe.
Samus Is a Girl: Her vessel doesn't imply it, but she's actually a girl. Mostly due to her once being a normal person before fusing with the data of Sonic.
Scary Teeth: Sarah's left and up poses show off rows of sharp red teeth,
The Smurfette Principle: Sarah is the only girl to make it through the production stages of the mod. There would've been more should the mod have continued development, including Sally_ALT and her minions and RE-RUN, but Sarah is the only one who remains.
Was Once a Man: NeedleM0use originally got her start as a human girl named Sarah, but after her death at the hands of her former friends, she latched onto a disc and possessed the code within, causing her turn into the bloodthirsty hedgehog she's known as today.

Sunky

INSERT SONIC QUOTE THAT BECAME AN OUTDATED MEME HERE

I OCCASIONALLY SUNK.

Origin: Sunky: The Game by LooneyDude, Sunky.MPEG by LooneyDude, Sunky's Schoolhouse by Bimbus Bobus and LooneyDude

Originating from a trilogy of fan games (all lighthearted parodies of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic's Schoolhouse and Sonic.EXE respectively), this little guy holds no ill will towards anyone and just wants to have a fun time with Boyfriend... by dancing with him for eternity.

Art Evolution: Subverted, but then played straight. Unlike the other characters who existed before 2.0, Sunky didn't get a visual overhaul, instead, getting better camera work. This is very likely due to his Stylistic Suck qualities. He got a proper visual overhaul in the 2.5 build, making him look less detailed and strangely proportioned. He also lacks his glowing red eyes, which were the only indicator of his status as a Sonic.exe parody as opposed to being a parody of Sonic himself.
Lethal Joke Character: Despite his nature as a joke character, the first version of his song has a really tight note density. And according to Word of God, he's the most powerful of the mod's opponents, including Fleetway Super Sonic himself! (Of course, this is assuming it wasn't a joke).
Lighter and Softer: Sunky is the only opponent who doesn't want to kill you, simply wanting you to sing and dance with him.
Nice Guy: Just like in his home series, Sunky has no intention of bringing Boyfriend to harm, and simply makes him dance with him should he lose.
Secret Character: He isn't unlocked via sound test or the story mode, and is instead unlocked by pressing Up, Down, Left, and Right on the title screen.
Stylistic Suck: His art style is very low quality, calling back to his game of origin having a simple art style. The cancelled build redoes his sprites to make them look nicer and more toony, but now comes with the addition of "e" and "a" next to his poses, written in Comic Sans.
Token Good Teammate: Unlike most opponents (and that's saying something), Sunky has absolutely no malicious intentions whatsoever; he just wants to sing and dance with Boyfriend.
Took a Level in Badass: Inverted: the 2.0 version of the mod had Sunky.MPEG, his universe's version of Sonic.exe, while the cancelled build has the regular Sunky. Word of God says that the two are indeed separate characters. invoked
- This even applies to his songs as well, as the remastered version of "Milk" is much slower and less note dense than its original counterpart.
Trademark Favorite Food: Milk and Cereal, which he holds in his left pose.

Sanic.exe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sanic_idle.png

CUMON STEP IT UP!!!!!

We must embrace pain, and burn it as fuel for our journey.

Origin: Various internet artworks, Sonic Forces (Canon Appearance)

Gotta go fest! Everyone's favorite obnoxiously loud and hilariously drawn Sonic illustration is here too, and he's been given a spooky alternate counterpart to fit the mod just a little bit more.

Beware the Silly Ones: Don't let his low quality fool you; his song is extremely fast.
Denser and Wackier: Considering him being based on a meme, this is to be expected. While the others (except Sunky) are implied to kill Boyfriend horrifically or make him endure a Fate Worse than Death, Sanic.exe just bulldozes him. In a low-quality GMod cutscene, no less! The 3.0 build changes this to shooting him to death... although still in GMod, and with Freddy and the gang as his audience.
- Somehow, Sanic himself went through this, as his song was changed between 2.0 and the 3.0 build from a straight cover of Green Hill Zone (with a little bit of note spam) to an MLG meme-filled cover, with Sanic himself telling you to "Cumon, step it up!!!!"
Gun Nut: He's the only character in the mod shown with guns other than Pico, holding a scattergun in his right pose and shooting Boyfriend to death in his new game over.
Laughably Evil: Despite being his usual meme self, he's just as evil as the other Sonics, as he brutally kills Boyfriend if he loses "Too Fest".
Lethal Joke Character: He has one of the fastest and hardest songs in the mod.
Memetic Mutation: He's based on the Sanic meme mixed with Sonic.exe, which isn't even an entirely new idea in and of itself. His song is also based on the meme of Green Hill Zone's theme but with immense base boosting to the point of earrape. The 3.0 version ramps this up tenfold, littering his song with MLG-related memes towards the latter half such as airhorns, trap music and "Oh, baby, a triple!"
Stylistic Suck: Of course, this applies. Sanic was born from a rushed, poorly drawn MS Paint picture of Sonic. Sanic.exe is largely the same, but with his eyes a different color and bloody tears scribbled under his eyes. His voice sounds in "Too Fest's" overhauled version also applies, being extremely low quality both in his chromatic and his voice lines.
Suddenly Speaking: He speaks (albeit in low quality voice clips) in 3.0's version of "Too Fest".
Super-Strength: In the original game over cutscene, he kills Boyfriend by bulldozing him, causing him to explode into blood. A surprising feat of strength for a character like him.

Coldsteel the Hedgeheg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coldsteel1.png

DO NOT STEAL!1!!1

psssh...nothin personnel...kid...

Origin: Created by BloodSkullBoi89 on DeviantArt

The poster child for the more uncreative Sonic OCs within the Internet, Coldsteel is a legend amongst the community; he's dark, brooding, edgy, and completely impossible to take seriously. One has to wonder the reason why he tries to fuel his massive ego by rapping against Boyfriend.

Baritone of Strength: He tries to pull this off. Oh lord does he try, but the end result sounds like a poor man's Shadow. He even loses it during his little rant in the middle of the song, suggesting that it's actually an act.
Basement-Dweller: Implied in one of his unused lines, with him stating he hates sunshine and that vitamin D is for pussies.
Berserk Button: Earrings and fingerless gloves are badass, and don't you dare tell him otherwise.
Blank White Void: "Personel" takes place in one, showing just how low quality it is.
Boss Banter: He's constantly either insulting you, praising himself, or both throughout his song, even beating Fleetway in how much he talks.
Chuunibyou: A DQN type who constantly talks up how badass he is, despite acting much more like the typical immature teenager his character was made to parody. It's implied this is an act meant to help with his insecurities.
Darker and Edgier: Not really. He was made to be as edgy as possible, and spends quite a bit of his song trying to justify his "badassery". Instead...
Denser and Wackier: He is not taken seriously at all, and he certainly doesn't help considering how he never shuts up about how he's better than you. He might be taken less seriously than Sanic.exe, who is at least a threat in terms of song difficulty.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Around the halfway point of "Personel", he screams "THIS GOES OUT TO YOU MOM!1!" before the song devolves into nonsense. Though, as one of his unused lines show, this doesn't extend to his father.
Extra Digits: His left hand in his idle animation has 7 fingers for no other reason than Rule of Funny.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Fitting for the kind of person he tries to be, there are plenty of ways to piss him off, such as saying fingerless gloves aren't badass, calling earrings girly, and asking about his ear.
Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: He wears earrings, (totally badass) fingerless gloves, gray sweatpants and shoes, but is shirtless.
Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: In one of Coldsteel's unused lines, he refers to himself as a "professional heterosexual".
Joke Character: Originally starting out as a parody of Sonic OCs, Coldsteel's appearance here doesn't take itself seriously at all. See Stylistic Suck below for more details.
Leitmotif: "Personel" features quite a few - specifically, "I Am... All Of Me" (fitting given the game's edgier tone), "Live and Learn" and "Perfect Chaos" (both from the era he was "created"), "Monochrome" (possibly a Creator Thumbprint, as it was made by the same composer), "Beta Welcome" (used to emphasize the Stylistic Suck portion of the song), and "Omnipresent" (which is itself a reference to "Animal").
Non Sequitur Distraction: He falls into a ramble midway through the song, during which the music itself simply falls apart. He rants about how he lost part of his ear (and annoyedly tells people not to ask him about it since he literally just explained it and it's been ten years already) and the rant shifts into Coldsteel angrily saying that earrings aren't girly and swearing out khaoskid663 for scamming him out of his shiny Moltres card.
Coldsteel: oh... what's that? sorry punk couldnt hear ya. y'see if you havent noticed already ive only got one good ear. by the way incase you were wondering its cuz like i lost in battle one time so yeah thats the reason why so stop asking me about it already its been like ten fucking years also shut the fuck up earrings arent girly theyre super badass and punk eat shit khaoskid663 give me back my fucking shiny moltres you fa-- anyways check this out!!
Non-Standard Character Design: Played for Laughs. Coldsteel is an absolute Stylistic Suck in every conceivable way in comparison to the far more well animated and drawn opponents in the mod, with absolutely no shading.
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: A strange, non-accent related example. During his long-winded rant, Coldsteel's harsh baritone voice starts to fade into Jacaris' natural speaking voice.
Original Character: Coldsteel is practically the embodiment of "Original character, do not steal," being an edgy Sir Swears-a-Lot on DeviantArt. Hell, he even says "Do not steal" during the song. That said, he averts this, strangely enough, as all of the 3.0 characters barring Secret History Tails and him were made by either the mod's dev team or their associates, while Coldsteel's creator is unknown and the character used without their contact.
Patter Song: His song devolves into this over time as it loses all sense of rhythm. Even Boyfriend struggles to keep up.
Purple Is Powerful: His fur is purple, and he's also among the ranks of the mod's Eldritch Abominations. This doesn't help his image, though.
Rouge Angles of Satin: His catchphrase itself has this, not to mention he's apparently a Hedgeheg. Even the title of his song is spelled wrong, due in part to being sourced from the aforementioned catchphrase.
Shallow Parody: His entire point of existing. He was a vacuous parody of the worst traits of Sonic OCs back then, and not much has changed since. The song does give him a little more personality, though, suggesting his mannerisms are an act to hide his insecurity and not his actual personality.
Shameless Self-Promoter: He asks the player (or Boyfriend) to follow him on Newgrounds.
Stylistic Suck: Everything about this dude, even more so than Sunky.MPEG and Sanic.exe. The sprites are all static (aside from some squash and stretch here and there), intentionally poorly drawn, and/or ripped from other sources (such as the original drawing of Coldsteel and a recolored image of Sonic from X-treme). The music starts going off-key halfway through before it just devolves into noise, making it sound like Boyfriend is having a seizure while he, Coldsteel, and even the arrows spin, not to mention the instrumental being a midi. Finally, there’s the charting on Coldsteel's side, dear lord the charting, contains quad-jacks as well as all sorts of other spam, juvenile humor, and Psych Engine’s default damage notes. The only thing that doesn’t really fall into this category would be his health icon... but even then, when he’s losing, it becomes flat and its image quality drops like a rock falling from a skyscraper. Given that he’s a parody of bad, edgy Sonic OCs and, in this new context, poorly made FNF mods, this makes sense.
Sir Swears-a-Lot: His song "Personel" is littered with f-bombs. Makes sense, considering he parodies the crowd who tends to think "swearing = edgy".
Your Mom: Two of his numerous lines, one towards Boyfriend's... and one for his.
i call this one: your MOTHER!!!
THIS GOES OUT TO YOU MOM!1!

Playable:

Boyfriend

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/encorebf.png

HMP YEAH HAHA!!

Bop Beep Be Be Skdoo Bep

The spunky blue-haired rapper himself, who's now up against the many horrors (And similar entities) of the Sonic universe.

Adaptational Species Change: Boyfriend is portrayed as a Mobian rabbit in the mod's Encore Mode and "Forestall Desire". For the latter, this is to comply with the Anthropic Principle mentioned in Requital's bio.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While for the majority of the mod Boyfriend is his usual Fearless Fool self, his demeanor in "Fatality" is the opposite of that, as he spends the whole song glaring at Fatal Error. The reason for him taking Fatal Error seriously unlike the rest of the mod's opponents seems to be that Fatal Error took Girlfriend from him and turned her into another one of his puppets.

Sonic the Hedgehog

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fnfpreysonic.png

Hey Red Head! Might wanna repair your toys!

Man, you really like scrambling your own plans, don’t’cha-

Origin: Vs. Sonic.EXE, created by DumbieDumbie

The Blue Blur himself, not some demon that’s possessing him or taking his form to trick his comrades for once. He is the protagonist of the song "Prey", where he faces off with a modified Mecha Sonic and his arch-nemesis driven mad by his hunger for wildlife and Mobians. Unfortunately for him, this would be his last duel with the doctor...

And Now for Someone Completely Different: Sonic is completely disconnected from the events of this mod that Boyfriend goes through.
Art Shift: The entirety of "Prey" plays out in a Genesis/CD styled format, with Sonic, Furnace and Starved all rendered in the console's limitations. The health bar is also offcenter to make room for the song's unique HUD, based on the Genesis games' HUD.
Demoted to Extra: Other than his Superpowered Evil Side being fought in "Chaos" and originally the player character in "Prey", Sonic himself rarely gets any screen time. He's rarely mentioned in the backstory of most of the EXEs, and if he is, it's usually because he's their victim.
Killed Mid-Sentence: Let's just say that quote above ends suddenly for a reason.
The Nicknamer: Just like modern Sonic games, Sonic loves giving mocking nicknames to Eggman, though this time he chooses the nickname "Red Head" due to Starved's red skin. The 2.0 version of "Prey" also has him use the classic "Robuttnik" nickname from Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM).
Oh, Crap!: His expression noticeably changes when Starved reveals his true face - and not for the better.
Pursued Protagonist: The entirety of "Prey" is this to Sonic, and he doesn't survive.
Promoted to Playable: As mentioned, Sonic was going to be this for "Prey".
The Hero Dies: He's killed by Furnace at the very end of the song, then presumably cooked and served to Starved.

Miles "Tails" Prower

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/starvingtails.png

he wishes he could fly high again

An alternate version of Tails who is a lone survivor of Starved's One-Track-Minded Hunger, he has been on the run for a while, and only recently has he got the courage to confront the doctor to put a stop to his plan of using the Time Stones to create an endless feast, especially since he was invited for dinner...

An Arm and a Leg: Starved had already managed to eat one of his namesakes by "Fight Or Flight".
All for Nothing: Implied, near the end of "Fight or Flight", it becomes near impossible to regenerate health due to the fear meter being maxed out, causing massive health drain. Tails' losing icon is him being horribly maimed, likely implying he doesn't stop Starved.
And Now for Someone Completely Different: The confrontation between Tails and Starved has no connection to the events of the mod Boyfriend goes through.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Should Tails' fear meter get too high at any point in the song, he'll become Starved's next meal. It's as horrible to behold as you'd expect, so much that the game has to censor the gruesome sight.
Promoted to Playable: Tails takes Boyfriend's place for "Fight or Flight", facing Starved himself.
Sanity Meter: At least a form of one as a fear meter at the right of the screen during "Fight or Flight". It slowly climbs up during the song, and can only be held down through successful note hits. Getting misses, or rather "sacrifices", as the game refers to them in this case, raises it higher.

EXE

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/faker_idle.png

”I found you, faker!”

^{Click here to see his true form}

YOU'RE too… YOU’RE too… YOU’RE too… YOU’RE too… YOU’RE TOO- YOU'RE TOO— YOU’RE TOO SLOW! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! GRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

A brand new variation of the famous hedgehog demon, this incarnation disguises himself as a near-perfect replica of the Blue Blur to lure his prey in... before exposing himself as the massive monster that he actually is.

Originally released as part of the Round 2 update, EXE and all content associated with him aside from his sprites in a gallery were be made inaccessible following controversy with his creator and former director of the mod, Revie_03.

Black Eyes of Evil: As per usual for Sonic.exe, but this version's eyes are entirely black in his true form. However, in actuality, these aren't pupils, but rather something merely echoing that effect; according to the one who created this version of Sonic.exe in a tweet, the "pupils" are actually holes. When they appear to dilate, what's actually happening is that his eyes melt inwards.
Canon Foreigner: While everyone else is taken from various Sonic creepypastas, urban legends, and media, EXE is unique as he is an Original Character; to be more specific, he is a new interpretation of Sonic.exe (based on the original) debuting in this mod. He wasn't created for the mod, though, as he simply hadn't had his story finished or released by the time he was added to the mod^note.
Clothing Appendage: His true form reveals that his gloves and shoes are just as much a part of him as the rest of his body, as they blend "melt" into his skin.
Death Glare: His idle pose in "Faker" is Sonic's usual determined, furrowed brow, but taken just far enough to suggest active malice behind the eyes rather than a relatively neutral expression. It's highlighted especially by a moment where he just lets Boyfriend have a solo to himself, as if he's getting bored with the facade.
Expy: As confirmed by Revie_03, he is based off of X from Sonic.exe Remake, sharing many aspects in both their disguised forms such as their blue arms and darker fur.
I Have Many Names: Out of the mod, EXE is also seen with the name "Faker" as reference to his first song, which he's often dubbed as. He is officially stated to use both names, though titles mean little to him.
Imposter Forgot One Detail: While EXE's mimicry is incredibly similar to the real deal, there are a few details that make him intentionally look... off, such as his blue arms and unconjoined eyes.
Knight of Cerebus: Once he drops his somewhat goofy-looking disguise, absolutely nothing is Played for Laughs about him. There are no goofy aspects, just straight-faced horror.
Official Couple: Initially was this with Sarah/Needlem0use, but the ship sank following the Revie allegations.
Original Generation: This Sonic is the former lead artist's interpretation of the classic creepypasta villain, rather than being taken from an existing version.
Orwellian Retcon: He is slated to be almost completely removed from the mod due to controversy that resulted in his creator being booted from the mod team. An unused song called "GOD SPEED" only refers to EXE as the "forbidden character" in its SoundCloud description, making him an Unperson to the mod as well. While his sprites were planned to be included in a gallery in tribute to his artist, Divide, this wasn't implemented before the mod was cancelled, and everything about him is completely absent from the unfinished build.
One-Winged Angel: His true form comes with the power to passively drain your health and prevent you from healing.
Playing with Fire: He killed Tails by burning him alive with his powers, which is why Tails' charred corpse is seen in the background of "Black Sun".
Power Makes Your Voice Deep: His voice is relatively high-pitched during "Faker", but drops several octaves once he reveals his true power in "Black Sun".
Shapeshifter Baggage: His true form is much taller than his fake form.
Unperson: Any mention of EXE was scoured clean from the mod beyond the art Divide made; all future songs for him were canceled, and he's never mentioned by name by the remaining developers, usually only being referred to as the "forbidden character" or variations thereof. As far as the developers are concerned, EXE never existed beyond the Divide art, and mentioning attempts to bring him back will be met with ire.
The Voiceless: EXE is this once he transforms into his true form. While he does monologue in his faker form, he's a man of little words once his true colours show.
Voice of the Legion: During his transformation sequence, he attempts to copy Sonic's famous "You're too slow" line. "Attempt" being the keyword here, as he repeatedly stutters "You're too-" in a deep, distorted, and layered voice as his true form begins to emerge, before finally completing the line, cackling, and roaring in a similarly twisted way.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: He's capable of turning into a near-perfect copy of Sonic.

Genesys

SONIC HAS PASSED.

An earlier take on an Eggman.exe made by Revie_03 based on a Vinesauce game corruption of a Sonic bootleg for the NES, the former director of the mod and creator of EXE who got kicked out of the mod for crimes she did not commit, after which ownership of the character was transferred to Dumbie (Creator of Starved). He would have been fought in "Burning".

The Bad Guy Wins: He achieved his goal of defeating Sonic, even using his corpse as one of his underlings afterward.
Hell Is That Noise: Has 2 sets of vocals, "Aggressive", and "Calm". The "Aggressive" vocals are grinding screeches.
Kill It with Fire: Genesys burned Sonic alive.
Laughing Mad: Constantly does this throughout his song whenever he switches to his "Aggressive" vocals.
Mood-Swinger: Prone to bouts of hyperaggressive manic fits, sometimes swapping mid-vocals, or even singing alongside himself.
Voice of the Legion: There are moments when both sets of his vocals overlap.

Unnamed Encore Majin

The fun never ends!

Voiced by: MarStarBro

You heard it right if you read the main Majin Sonic's page on Funkipedia, another version of Majin Sonic, as well as the Encore version of said character exists. So be sure to not mistaken him for the same Majin seen in every other song related to Majin or else you're actively wrong also!

Art Shift: "Endless (Encore)" would have the art done in a pixel style meant to replicate the art of Sonic CD.
Decomposite Character: According to Word of God, the Majin seen in Encore Mode actually turns out to be a separate, yet different Majin.
Original Generation: Was made for the mod.
Suddenly Speaking: At one point in "Endless (Encore)", he says "The fun never ends!". Something that the regular Majin doesn't say.
Suddenly Voiced: He can actually speak with a voiced, something that the original Majin can't.

Wechidna

I AM WECHIDNA.

The creator of this mod’s take on a Knuckles.exe who takes a false form to trick others. He was intended to be part of update 3.0, but was removed after Rightburst_Ultra was fired from team for grooming a minor and other controversies, and replaced with Chaotix... who was also removed. He was originally gonna be moved to another mod known as Friday Night Funkin: Parallax, but after that mod was cancelled, he has instead been moved to the revival of Illegal Instruction, only for that to be cancelled as well.

Expy: More than likely to EXE, both are fakes of existing Sonic characters that trick others before going in for the kill, obviously, Wechidna here impersonates Knuckles instead of Sonic to set himself apart from EXE. On top of this, his poses seem to be directly inspired from EXE’s, as shown with his idle, down and up poses.
Eye Scream: He has a scar on his right eye and, in his true form, his eyes rip open to reveal red innards where a skull should be.
Imposter Forgot One Detail: His fur and skin are darker, his eyes are black rather than purple, his shoes are red and gold rather than red, green, and white, his crest matches his skin color rather than being white, his gloves are yellow, he doesn’t have knuckle spikes, he has a scar on his right eye, his eyes are conjoined, and he lacks a mouth when not singing. His face is also outright stoic in his redesign's disguise, completely unmoving aside from the monster mouth inside the neck.

Chaotix

Tails... Tails? Where are you?

^{Click here to see his true form}

Eh, whatever. Having too much fun, and Tails can wait for now.

A mysterious glitch-like entity who hails within Carnival Island's code, being a mistake that was never meant to be found by players. He takes the form of Sonic's first rival, Knuckles, but this form is nothing but a ruse to hide his true deformities. He seeks out Sonic's best friend, Tails, to fulfill his desire of fixing his broken code and becoming whole again. He was one of the characters who were planned for update 3.0, only for him to end up getting scrapped after his creator asked for him to be removed, and he is now planned to appear in the revival of Illegal Instruction... which was cancelled later on.

Ambiguously Evil: While a lot of the below information may make it seem clear cut that Chaotix is completely evil, his depiction in his own mod seems to show otherwise. His new song, “Our Horizon”, drops any aggression that “My Horizon” had and the line just after he transforms where he says, which is his listed quote, seems to indicate that he holds no ill will towards Boyfriend.
Art Shift: As revealed by Chaotix's creator, averyavary, My Horizon would also have a pixelated art style, though this one is more akin to the entity's console of origin, the SEGA 32X. This was going to be in the regular FNF art style before AnarackWarriors approached them with the concept. The pixel art style is retained in ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION, with the style shifting back to the standard FNF style after Chaotix transforms into his true form.
Baritone of Strength: Has quite the deep voice, befitting for an EXE based on the games' resident strongman, and only becomes deeper in his true form. Additionally, after his transformation, “My Horizon” becomes much more intense.
Cyclops: In his true form, he has only one large bulging eye. Also, his artwork for the finalized version of "My Horizon" and “Our Horizon” shows him having one black pupil in his Knuckles disguise.
Digital Abomination: It's a broken piece of code that happens to take on most of Knuckles' appearance, and it's currently on the hunt for Tails. If anyone crosses his sight, and he thinks they are the fox he's looking for, they're not gonna have fun.
Dramatic Irony: Despite his game-world spanning search for Tails so he can fix himself, Chaotix is completely unaware that in the world he inhabits, he is Tails, albeit with nothing but broken code and a twisted personality.
Expy:
- For who else but Revie_03’s EXE, being a doppelganger of a Sonic character with a twisted larger form; hell, they even have similar voices in both of their true forms. Obviously, Chaotix isn’t disguising himself as Sonic, but rather Knuckles.
- Alternatively, he can also be one for RightBurstUltra’s Wechidna (not to be confused with the Knuckles’ Chaotix glitch of the same name), given that they share a similar concept of being a fake Knuckles with a twisted true form trying to trick others before they can go in for the kill.
Faux Affably Evil: Whenever he's not searching for Tails, Chaotix is calm and able to keep his cool, being able to comprehend the world around him, and he can even blend in with other Mobians and hold conversations with them (Though this is largely due to the other Mobians seeing his normal form as Tails), getting information when he needs it. If he believes someone to be Tails, however, they'd better start running.
Forced Perspective: In both of his forms. In his "normal" form, he hides the fact that he only has one eye by centering his pupil under his browline to make it appear as if he's just got two mildly dilated pupils. in his "true" form, his eye shifts to one side of his head, but he always keeps it turned towards the camera to appear as if the second one is just on the side not facing the camera.
Hell Is That Noise: If he catches the player, he screams this quote from the TV before making a large amount of deafening noise.

Chaotix: FOUND YOU, TAILS!

Imposter Forgot One Detail: In his disguised form, he has a single pupil (and a very manic-looking one at that), his fur is a washed-out red, his fingers can be seen through his gloves, he lacks a white crest on his chest, he wears more Sonic-like shoes rather than Knuckles’, and he has no mouth.
Insistent Terminology: In his game, he will always mistake the Chaotix crew for Tails.
Laughing Mad: He lets out a cavalcade of laughter when he transforms midway through "My Horizon" and “Our Horizon”.
Light Is Not Good: Chaotix's main color in his true form is white, and he's anything but heavenly.
One-Winged Angel: His true form bares a striking resemblance to the infamous Wechnia from Knuckles’ Chaotix.
Original Generation: Like Starved before him, Chaotix’s reveal for this mod was shortly after he was first shown off on Twitter.
Red Is Violent: Played with. Like the real Knuckles, his primary color is red in his fake form, which also applies to his true form's eye, teeth, and hands, and he has a short temper in regards to his search for Tails. Unlike Knuckles, however, he's more than happy to brutally kill anyone who sets him off. Otherwise, he's actually calm and collected when not hunting, even being able to talk normally with most Mobians.
Slasher Smile: His true form’s face is stuck in a permanent smile, showing off his bright-red teeth.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: His reveal was announced very close to the time when Wechidna was leaked and removed, and the two just so happen to share the exact same song.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Obviously, considering he’s hiding behind a façade of being the actual Knuckles.

Spoopy Sonic

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_6859.jpeg

Don't worry, you'll see me soon.

An OC of Sonic made by Arthur/ADJ, being a combination of Sonic.exe and Lord X. He was planned at one point to appear in an update after the 3.0 update dubbed "The Deleted Files Update", but due to 3.0's cancellation, he never appeared. However, he has his own oneshot mod made by his creator, named as "Friday Night Spoopin", and he is also set to make an appearance in the V2 update of the mod "FNF Lord X Wrath".

Creepily Long Arms: His arms are set to a ridiculous length, though this one is obviously played for the laughs.
Big Head Mode: His head is a bit too large for his body, as if it suddenly dilated. That head should NOT to be able to support that small body.
Laughably Evil: Compared to his namesakes, he is the exact opposite.
Non-Standard Character Design: He's got his own short body while he has the head of Lord X.
Joke Character: Was allegedly meant to be this in The Deleted Files Update.
Stylistic Suck: Drawn in a much cruder art style than the 1.0 version.

Boundless

GET OUT.

A planned EXE made by JoeDoughBoi and co-owned by Arthur/ADJ made for the mod. He was planned at one point to appear in an update after the 3.0 update dubbed "The Deleted Files Update", but due to 3.0's cancellation, he never appeared. However, he is set to make an appearance in the V2 update of the mod "FNF Lord X Wrath".

Armless Biped: He lacks arms, which is meant to match his gaping hole for a face and his creepily grown head
Meaningful Name: As his name suggests, he's got the face without any bounds.
The Blank / Ghostly Gape: Boundless' face doesn't exist, instead being a black void seemingly without detail. Anyone who faces him are subjected to a Fate Worse than Death.
Composite Character: Boundless is made by one of the creators of Lord X's home game as well as the owner of Lord X himself, and as such, has some correlation to the latter.
Original Generation: Was made specifically for the mod, though he does have a chance of appearing in the upcoming reboot of Sonic Pc Port.

Oga

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ogaexeref.jpg

Another one of Arthur/ADJ's EXEs who was planned at one point to appear in an update after the 3.0 update dubbed "The Deleted Files Update", but due to 3.0's cancellation, they never appeared.

Creepily Long Arms: It should be noted both of his arms are stretched to a ridiculous length, and can just barely scrape the ground at that.
Shout-Out: One to Lord X, as he is based on one of Lord X's older designs.
Composite Character: Oga is made by one of the creators of Lord X's home game himself, and as such, has some correlation to the latter.
Fat Bastard: Compared with Lord X, Oga is way chubbier, he seems to have gained a quite few pounds, and he has flabbier skin.

Mephisto

An EXE made by FalseCow, the former artist of the mod who was eventually outed for defamation, after which ownership of the character was transferred to Arthur/ADJ (Creator of Spoopy Sonic and Oga). He was planned at one point to appear in an update after the 3.0 update dubbed "The Deleted Files Update", but due to 3.0's cancellation, they never appeared.

Body Horror: Mephisto has multiple jaws merged into 1 eerily deformed mouth. His gloves are also gone, revealing his exposed hands and extremely sharp claws. His ribcage is also exposed, with extra bones peeking out of the skin from one of his backspines. and he has a literal human heart that's literally fused into one of his hands.
Composite Character: Mephisto is made by one of the creators of Lord X's home game himself, and as such, has some correlation to the latter.

LEAKER

Constantly putting things into the public eye without permission.

A joke character who was planned at one point to appear in an update after the 3.0 update dubbed "The Deleted Files Update", but due to 3.0's cancellation, they never appeared. According to Word of God, they were supposed to be in a vent song about the mod getting leaked.

Decomposite Character: LEAKER has no connection to any of the events of the mod.
For the Evulz: LEAKER was meant to be the embodiment of generally 4Chan, and subsequently leaker degenerates like Mad Man Halloween. As such, the vent song would have been about destroying the leakers.

Satanos

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/literallysataninasoniccostume.png

Don't waste my time.

This is too easy.

Another OC of Rightburst_Ultra, Satanos is a more blatantly demonic EXE, sporting a pentagram on his chest. He was planned at one point to appear in the 3.0 update, but was scrapped after his creator got kicked out of the mod. Afterwards, he was planned to have his own mod known as "Parallax" before it was scrapped and rebranded into "Dare Devil Funkin'"...which was also cancelled for good.

Creepily Long Arms: His left arm stretches to a ridiculous length in his up pose.
Emotion Eater: Feasts on fear.
Imposter Forgot One Detail: Messy quills, pentagram on the chest single streak of blood leaking from his eye and deranged face notwithstanding, his right shoe doesn't have a stripe on it.
Interface Screw: It was planned that his song, "Perdation", would make heavy use of mod charts to force the player to pay attention to where the notes are coming from and where the judgement line is, similarly to the Vs Hex Mod's "Detection".
Obviously Evil: While most EXEs can be described as such, Satanos is a more blatant case, seeing as Satan is in his name and he has a pentagram on his chest.
Satan: He's this for the digital world, haunting a tampered copy of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Demogri and Griatos

It's hard to breathe.

A fallen angel and a demon respectively who possess a set of the Genesis Sonic games, with the two taking on opposing roles. Griatos is the more hostile of the two and looks more demonic, while Demogri resembles Sonic more and is more compassionate to the souls stuck in the cartages, even opting to help the player fight back against Griatos under the condition that they don’t get the souls bound to Tails and Knuckles killed. Unfortunately, these two were cut following their creator’s departure from the team.

Fallen Angel: Demogri is an angel who fell from Heaven and had their wings torn off and eaten by Griatos.
Non-Standard Character Design: While all the other characters in the mod are inspired by Sonic characters, Griatos has an entirely unique design, looking like a demonic vulture instead of a Sonic character.
Token Heroic Orc: Demogri, despite being an .exe, doesn't want Griatos to kill Tails or Knuckles, and shows no signs of ill will until he does.
Token Good Teammate: Demogri. They'd prefer the player to keep Tails safe from Griatos, and is not happy if Griatos manages to kill him. Griatos is the one who takes the usual role of "Monster inside the game that tortures the player."

Sally_ALT

Long live the Queen.

What a pathetic waste of my time. You should not have reigned over any bit of land in the first place.

Once known as Sally.EXE, Sally_ALT was reworked into the queen of Mobius_ALT, a world not too dissimilar to the Archie Comics continuity. She was once married to Sonic_ALT... until she killed him after Mobius_ALT lost a war against Mobius and took away his powers, including interdimensional travel. After kidnapping Robotnik from the “canon” Mobius and forcing him to work with her, she kidnaps and alters Mobians to repopulate her home world, and later abandons the doctor once he gets fed up with her cruelty. Her hatred for her late husband soon turns into a loathing for any Sonic.

Alternate Self: To Archie Sally.
Berserk Button: As mentioned in her bio above, she initially only hated Sonic_ALT, but this developed onto an unadulterated abhorrence for all Sonics across the multiverse.
Black Widow: Killed her husband after he mistreated her.
Body Horror: Aside from the Eye Scream mentioned below, her torso is torn apart, showing her exposed muscle, and one of her legs has its flesh torn apart to reveal her bones.
Continuity Reboot: As mentioned above, Sally_ALT a rebooted version of Sally.exe, the title character from a fan sequel to Sonic.exe that’s more well known than Round 2, the actual sequel, to make the character more distinct from Sonic.exe.
Even Evil Has Standards: When even Archie Robotnik, one of, if not, the evilest version of Eggman, thinks what you’re doing is wrong, you can tell there are a few screws loose up there.
Eye Scream: Both of Sally_ALT's eyes are stitched shut.
God Save Us from the Queen!: She's the queen of her dimension and is far from a benevolent ruler.
The Smurfette Principle: Sally_ALT is one of the only two female opponents confirmed for the mod alongside from Sarah, and the only one to appear outwardly feminine.
Unholy Matrimony: With Sonic_ALT, until she killed the poor bastard.

SL4SH

^{Click here to see him up close}

LET'S SEE WHO REALLY IS A "GOD".

A mysterious hedgehog demon that resides on a copy of ''Sonic Gems Collection'' for the PS2 with unknown origins. He's one of the mod's former directors' take on Sonic.exe.

Black Blood: Whereas other .exes usually bleed blood from their eyes, SL4SH bleeds black. Goes well with his Black Eyes of Evil.
Black Eyes of Evil: His eyes are entirely black, and he does not have good intentions.
Flying Face: He can detach his head, and it can float above his body.
A God Am I: Defied, which is unique for a version of Sonic.exe. He believes in the opposite, saying that there is no god even if the many other .exes claim to be one.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He has two arms attached to his shoulders, and two arms attached to his head.
Mysterious Past: Unlike every other EXE in the mod, who has had their lore established by their creator or existed before being added, SL4SH’s lore has not been established nor does he have any sort of story. All we know about him is his appearance, he resides in a copy of Sonic Gems Collection and he’s atheist, not believing there to be a god.
Original Generation: He is an original creation of one of the mod's directors. And unlike the other EXEs in the mod, who have pre-established backstories and existed before getting added to the mod, SL4SH completely lacks a story, and with his creator seemingly distancing themselves from the EXE community, it’s likely we will never get to know it either.

Curse

Something's wrong... You won't hide it from me.

Things are... okay. Then... can we... try again?

A character originally created by Kenji, later owned by TheGlitchyWill, then being owned by Mad Man Halloween after Will was outed for pedophilia, and now owned by LUCIFERS_RATS following several controversies surrounding Mad Man. He is a version of Sonic who had been infected with the Curse of X, which resulted in the deaths of his universe's Knuckles, Sally, and Eggman. After being given a second chance in life by Metal Sonic, Curse has been dimension-hopping for a long time, trying to be a ray of sunshine for other EXEs to get over the hardships he faced.

Adaptational Abomination: Inverted: instead of being some all-powerful deity, Curse is simply a version of Sonic that was... well, cursed.
Adaptational Gender Identity: Is a trans man, compared to the presumably cisgender Sonic and Sonic.exe.
Author Avatar: Downplayed in this case, though Curse's trans nature and self-harm scars have been revealed to be connected to Kenji himself, projecting what he himself had gone through in real life.
Bully Magnet: Curse became this after getting blamed for Knuckles's death, with only Sally and Eggman there to protect him until their deaths.
But Not Too Bi: Has been stated to be bisexual, but is also stated to prefer men over women.
Hated by All: Nearly everyone in his original world hated him for something he didn't do, with the only ones not doing so having died due to the Curse of X.
Medium Awareness: Curse is aware that he's simply a video game character, harboring knowledge of other Sonic games and media. It doesn't bother him that much, though.
Perpetual Smiler: According to his bio art, Curse can't frown, which means that his smile is basically struck on his face. He can still feel other emotions, thankfully.
Poor Communication Kills: Initially battles Boyfriend under the belief he was trying to harm Girlfriend, and Boyfriend, being the idiot he is, doesn't realize Curse's misconception until Curse himself realizes they're actually together.
Token Good Teammate: Doesn’t even want to harm anybody, with him battling Boyfriend solely out of a misconception that Boyfriend was trying to hurt Girlfriend.
Trans Tribulations: Tails has been purposefully deadnaming Curse in an attempt to get under his skin... despite this version of Tails being trans herself.
Adaptational Backstory Change: His backstory has been altered or changed multiple times, starting with Mad Man Halloween, who added "a bit of a glow-up" to it, before it was reverted back to his original one by his current owner, LUCIFERS_RATS, following controversy surrounding Mad Man.

X-Terion

The soul of a former employee of SEGA that's been trapped in a copy of Sonic Jam ever since he worked himself to death, X-Terion is seeking closure for himself and to find inner peace. But to truly achieve that, he needs help from his now-adult daughter to give him the peace he has longed for.

Art Shift: Like with "Sunshine", X-Terion's song "Substantial" would very likely take place in a 3D environment to match the Saturn environment that he is trapped inside.
Face Framed in Shadow: He uses a slightly corrupted version of Sonic's model with the eyes and muzzle missing, replaced with a shadowy face and smaller eyes that make him look like he's wearing a full-body costume
Non-Standard Character Design: Like Tails Doll, his sprite is a 3D model, a rarity in FNF mods.
Token Good Teammate: He holds no ill will towards others, he simply just wants to finally find peace.
Unfinished Business: He can't really move on without the help of his daughter.
Was Once a Man: Unlike other exes, X-Terion was originally a human soul before becoming what he is now.

Luther Artwright

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luther_8.png

I refuse to sit and let things happen again. Many lives are at stake, Sarah.

Remember, together forever.

Sarah’s third victim and best friend in her past life who had his soul grafted onto Tails’ data. Despite being forced into a life of eternal suffering as his former friend's puppet, something strange caused him to regain his autonomy; with this newfound strength, Luther is going to try to free himself, Sarah, and the rest of his friends from the Sonic beta disk they’re all trapped in by any means necessary, whether it’s by reaching out to his son, who is Needlem0use’s version of Tom, or taking Sarah down himself.

Action Dad
Asshole Victim: Partially responsible for Sarah's death, and thus one of her targets for killing.
Blue Is Heroic: Inverted, as Luther had a part in Sarah's demise and wears blue shoes upon being fused with Tails' data. Later played straight when he tries to stop Sarah’s killings and gains a blue cape and blue Chaos Emerald axe.
Non-Standard Character Design: His concept art seems to show that he would have been in the same art style as his home series like with Sarah.
Only Sane Man: He doesn't intend to play along when Sarah states she wants to fight him in a rap battle. Xenophanes might make it happen anyway, though.
Luther: Sarah, I am not going to do a rap battle.
Xenophanes: (showing up behind Luther, who shows some panic) Could you repeat that?
Papa Wolf: The moment Sarah tried to kill Tom is also when Luther decides to finally face off with her.
Token Good Teammate: Luther has no interest in killing innocent people, he just wants the souls of himself, Sarah, and the rest of the people trapped in the compilation disc to be free.
Vocal Dissonance: As a fully grown man in the body of the prepubescent Tails, this is to be expected.

Secret History Tails

That's it. I get it now. If Tails is Sonic's best friend, and I'm not your best friend... then YOU AREN'T SONIC!

Sonic's self proclaimed best friend, this incarnation of Tails was introduced as Sonic's sidekick by SEGA-Corp so they could keep up with profiting trends. However, Tails took their partnership a bit too far, killing off anybody who Sonic could call his best friend, before going into hiding upon being exposed as the obsessive monster in fox's clothing that he really was. He would've been fought in "Mania".

Ax-Crazy: He is absolutely unhinged, as shown by his facial expressions and multicolored irises, and is dead set on killing anyone who dares to think they're Sonic's "best friend".
Badass Normal: He's the only opponent in the mod outside of Coldsteel and Starved to not be an Eldritch Abomination of any sort, but his unhinged nature doesn't make him any less dangerous than any of them (except Sunky).
Berserk Button: DON'T! Get close! To Sonic. He can only have one best friend, and that's Tails.
Cold-Blooded Torture:
- At the end of the "Secret Histories" video, he's shown to have kidnapped a random man, forcing him to act like Sonic or face death from a Swiss-Army Weapon. The kidnapped man clearly doesn't appreciate this.
- "There's Something About Amy" shows he's not above psychological torture, either, as he's very heavily implied to have not only changed her appearance with her surgery, but also messed around with Amy's mind as well. Once he tricks Amy into killing Sonic, he outright admits that Sonic reciprocated her feelings, and that he's the only one that can lead her to the real Sonic. By the end of it, she's become the obsessive Yandere the fandom knows her for.
Crazy Jealous Guy: While the canon Tails is perfectly fine with Sonic having other friends, this Tails absolutely cannot grasp that concept, killing off anybody who dares threaten his position as Sonic's best friend.
Evil Genius: Considering it's an evil Tails we're talking about, it's not hard to expect. He messes around with Knuckles' phone, Shadow's hoverboots and Amy's hammer to make them explode and kill their users, he's developed tech that allows him to move between universes, and he can give Amy excellent plastic surgery, albeit with skin tearing here and there.
Fat Bastard: After going into hiding, he's shown to be much, much girthier than before. In the mod, though, he mostly just has his potbelly from the rest of the video.
Green-Eyed Monster: He only committed atrocious acts of murder because they threatened his relationship with Sonic. At least... at first. While he does still kill any of SEGA-Corp's mandated friends, he now tortures random civilians in an attempt to find the "real" Sonic, and alters their corpses with their valuables and paint to (poorly) make them resemble his "best friend".
Hate Sink: Despite being unaffiliated with the other opponents of the mod, he manages to be even less likable than any of them, even though most of the baddies are sociopathic Eldritch Abominations, by virtue of being a clingy, narcissistic Jerkass. Makes sense, as this Tails was made as a negative parody of the Sonic franchise whereas the others are simple fanworks.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: He thinks he's this with Sonic, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Sonic only put up with him because SEGA-Corp said they needed him around for profit, and he said right to his face that they were never friends upon Amy finally outing him. Tails' reaction... wasn't what they expected.
Make It Look Like an Accident: Both Knuckles and Shadow died from malfunctions in their tech, and Amy would have suffered the same fate if Tails had enough time to tamper with her own. Knuckles' phone, Shadow's hover boots, and Amy's hammer were all rigged to blow up by Tails himself when they got too close to Sonic.
Money, Dear Boy: In-Universe. He never quite caught the memo that this was the sole reason he was brought on as Sonic's sidekick.
Murder the Hypotenuse: Non-romantic example. He's killed almost everybody who came close to stealing his best friendship with Sonic, only failing to kill Amy when her act of giving herself up was a trap. That said, he's capable of recruiting another version of Amy to help him look for the "real" Sonic.

Sonic.OMW

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/omw.png

This is what happens when you try to play god.

A version of Sonic from Sonic CD. For whatever reason, he permanently elongates whenever he collects a ring, eventually becoming so large he started to tear the fabric of his old reality apart. Now he's on the search for a new reality to call home. Also, he hails from a meme. He would have been fought in "Universal Collapse".

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Exaggerated. His "base" height is 200 feet.^Note 60.96 meters. Nothing too out of the ordinary for this trope, but he grows whenever he touches a ring and became so big that his reality broke.
Blessed with Suck: So, you grow in length upon collecting rings. Fine, fine. But when you factor in the fact that this size change is permanent and you may eventually break reality itself if you get big enough, this isn't such a good deal.
Brutal Honesty: He's said to be incredibly blunt.
Creepily Long Arms: They pair well with his creepily long legs and neck.
The Cynic: From what's known about him, he has a fairly cynical sense of humor.
Joke Character: Most likely, given that he's based off of this◊ meme, which is an edited version of a preexisting meme. A retool made him a bit less comedic, but he still has elements of comedy, alongside still being based on the On My Way To Do Your Mom meme.
Lean and Mean: Downplayed. He's very, very lanky and caused his universe to fall apart, but he isn't actually malicious.
Token Good Teammate: Evidently, he's not to blame for his reality's destruction, and he just wants to find a new universe to live in. He clearly doesn't want anything to do with the others.

Requital

It's now Tail- er- Requital's turn to dish out some abuse.

A version of Tails driven mad by his constant deaths and revivals. At some point when his mind finally snapped, he dropped Sonic in Carnival Night Zone, causing him to fall to his death. Requital later salvaged whatever he could find of his "hero's" body, rubbing the blood on his body every week to regain the rush of killing Sonic. He was slated to have a rap battle against both Boyfriend and Pico in the now-cancelled update as a part-contribution to Pico Day 2022.

Anthropic Principle: Boyfriend and Pico are Mobians for Requital's song because otherwise they wouldn't look like Sonic, and thus Requital wouldn't have any beef with them.
Berserk Button:
- If you look or act anything like Sonic, he's more than likely gonna kill you.
- He also doesn't like people calling him by his old nickname.
Blood Bath: Every Tuesday, he smears Sonic's blood on himself to remind himself of the moment he killed his former friend.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: An odd example, as his scarf is the ribbon from the title screen of many Sonic the Hedgehog games.
Deconstruction: Of Tails' Death Is Cheap ability when he's controlled by the AI in the classic Sonic games and especially of players who get him hurt and/or killed for laughs, as it caused poor Tails to go insane.
Dual Boss: Inverted, you play as both Pico and Boyfriend during the song against Requital.
Even Evil Has Standards: It's been stated that Requital doesn't eat Sonic's flesh, as even he wouldn't go that far no matter how much he hates him. He does cover himself in Sonic's blood before hunting for Sonic-like people, though.
Freudian Excuse: The reason he became a Serial Killer was due to going insane from his constant deaths.
Laughing Mad: In a similar manner to Chaotix, at the end of his song "Forestall Desire", he starts to let out a quiet Evil Laugh, which quickly devolves into a cavalcade of distorted laughter as he presumably transforms into his beast form.
Meaningful Name: "Requital" is a word meaning "make an appropriate return for a favor, service, or wrongdoing", and this version of Tails killed Sonic in revenge for his many, many deaths.
Original Generation: Like with Chaotix, he was created only a month before his reveal for the mod on Pico Day 2022 and was only shown before then via a Twitter post.
Scarf of Asskicking: The teaser shown for him show him wearing a red scarf (styled after the banner on Sonic 2's logo) around his muzzle. According to his bio, he wears it when going on the hunt for people who look like Sonic.
Scary Teeth: When he doesn't wear the scarf, Requital's constant, sharp-toothed grin is on full display.
Serial Killer: Fits the profile of one quite well, with his M.O. of targeting people he mistakes for Sonic. Although his body count is unknown, it's probable that he's killed quite a few people ever since killing Sonic all those years back.
Sinister Silhouettes: Like his bio images, Requital's body is framed in shadow during his song, with only small parts of him able to be made out amongst the darkness.
That Man Is Dead: It's Miles "Requital" Prower, now. He has abandoned the Tails nickname due to the incessant bullying it gave him; call him it at your own risk.
Vocal Dissonance: Despite now being 24 years old, his voice in "Forestall Desire" still sounds as high as it was when he was a kid. This gets zigzagged later on in the song, where his voice starts to shift back and forth from his normal high voice to a more fitting deeper voice.

Hog and Scorched

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hjog_1.png

Good Hedgehog

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ouchoofivebeenscorched.png

Evil, Sinister, Malcontent Hedgehog

I WILL NOT BE REPLACED!

Two beings sharing one body, Hog and Scorched are a pair of entities that resemble Sonic. They reside in a bootleg copy of Sonic the Hedgehog and were found after someone with a Genesis dev kit decided to dig around the files before Scorched scorched the cartridge to prevent them from digging deeper. Scorched is actually the real Sonic, having his data written over by the bootleg copy, which made him evil and now wants to kill Hog for replacing him.

Alternate Universe: Hog resides in a world similar to but not exactly like Sonic's due to being from a bootleg. As revealed by his creator, there are also alternate versions of Sonic's friends, like Prowler as Tails, Fists as Knuckles and Iron Hog in place of Metal Sonic.
Black Eyes of Evil: Scorched's eyes appear solid black because his pupils are extremely dilated, by choice at that. He does have sclera, but it's hard to tell unless he contracts his pupils or consciously glances in a different direction.
Bland-Name Product: Due to coming from a bootleg product, the names of Hog's equivalents to things in the Sonic world are only somewhat changed. As an example, Knuckles being the guardian of Angel Island and the Master Emerald is changed to Fists being the protector of Sky Island and the Chaos Ruby.
Children Are Innocent: Invoked: Hog is innocent, childlike, and friendly as bait to get people closer to him, after which Scorched would take over and kill them.
Clothing Appendage: The gloves that Hog wears, along with the cuffs of his shoes, bleed into his skin as Scorched.
Cross-Popping Veins: Scorched has several visible, perpetually pulsating veins on his head.
Expy: The two were heavily inspired by EXE, being a small mouthless Sonic lookalike with a disturbing larger form, though unlike EXE whose smaller form is a disguise, Hog is entirely an separate person from Scorched.
Face–Heel Turn: Due to his data being overwritten by Hog, Sonic became the evil Scorched and now wants to kill Hog for replacing him.
Four-Fingered Hands: Subverted with Scorched. His middle and ring fingers are actually fused together, making it look like he four fingers on each hand.
Glitch Entity: A lot of Scorched's abilities revolve around glitches, though they can be very unstable and have a chance to either do nothing or backfire on him if something goes wrong for him.
Killed Off for Real: The ultimate fate of both of them in their story, the destruction of their world as a result of their clash causing them to both perish, and the hardware with it. Though, not before Scorched undergoes a Heel Realization and breaks down, dying in sorrow.
Laughing Mad: Scorched lets out a cavalcade of laughs as he transforms from Hog in "Manual Blast".
Non-Indicative Name: Hog is neither a hedgehog nor a hog. He's a tenrec.
Original Generation: Hog and Scorched were actually created for Friday Night Funkin', though the pair will also be receiving their own game in the future.
Painful Transformation: Transforming into Scorched is implied to be incredibly painful for Hog if the noises he makes during "Manual Blast" are any indication.
Reference Overdosed: During the final stretch of "Manual Blast", one of Hog and Scorched’s songs, Scorched’s head was going to glitch out and show the faces of other .exes, such as Mighty.ZIP, EYX, Xenophanes, Lord X, X-Terion and Sally_ALT.
Super Gullible: Hog will believe literally anything you tell him, no matter how factually incorrect it is.
Tragic Monster: Both of them have shades of this. Hog is a well-meaning, innocent fellow who holds a malevolent entity inside of him without any knowledge or control over it. Scorched is Sonic himself after nearly being erased in a universal overlap, with his glitchy nature being a result of his data being corrupted and mostly overwritten by Hog's.
Token Good Teammate: Hog is genuinely well-meaning and innocent, in comparison to Scorched.
Two Beings, One Body: Hog and Scorched share the same body, which transforms depending on who's in control. Additionally, Hog is completely unaware of Scorched's existence, implying that whether or not he's in control is fully dependent on if Scorched wants him to be.
Voice of the Legion: Not normally, but during Scorched's voice lines, his voice is combined with various other exes to give this effect. The ending of "Manual Blast", where Scorched swaps between multiple different chromatic scales of other characters in the mod, may count as well.

Grimeware

I CANNOT DENY YOU...I CAN SMELL YOU...

A virus that left Sonic nothing but a husk after Sonic fell below the depths of Angel Island after Robotnik got a good hit on him. The virus now controls Sonic in order to add to its hivemind by killing his friends in the most brutal ways it can think of.

Body Horror: While none of the others are any slouch in this department, Grimeware takes the cake by being an EXE who specializes in this. It was planned that over the course of the song, Grimeware was supposed to start off looking normal, but eventually start rotting, his eyes melting inward and his skin becoming filled with holes, while his eyes become a second, much larger mouth.
Extra Eyes: In his true form, Grimeware gains multiple additional eyes, including a Third Eye on his forehead, as well as several eyes inside his mouth.
Impostor Forgot One Detail: Compared to EXE, Grimeware's disguise is much more convincing, and would successfully pass for Sonic if it weren't for the purple quills. That is, until he starts to quickly rot away.
Meaningful Name: His original name was "Skinwalker", and he's a supernatural creature disguising himself as another being, namely Sonic.

Devoid

An alternate version of Sonic the Hedgehog who failed to stop his version of Robotnik from roboticizing Little Planet. After reaching Metallic Madness, Sonic encountered the lifeless body of the Doctor before he revealed that he roboticized the planet as step one of his greater plan; transfer his mind and soul into the planet itself to become a Genius Loci and gain complete control over the Time Stones. In an attempt to undo this, Sonic tried to use the Time Stones to prevent it; because Robotnik was Little Planet, this failed and lead to the Doctor using them himself to Ret-Gone Sonic. Fortunately for Sonic, his speed allowed him to return to the timeline, but now as a Paradox Person who attempts to defeat the Doctor permanently by any means necessary. Having cut ties with his former life, Sonic now goes through his solo crusade under a new name; Devoid.

Anti-Hero: His only goal is to stop Robotnik's schemes like always, but he's now more than happy to use unsavory means to get the job done.
The Blank: Thanks to his nature as a Paradox Person, Devoid's face doesn't exist. Anyone who gazes upon it are subjected to a Fate Worse than Death, as Devoid ended up finding out the hard way upon encountering his version of Tails.
Cool Mask: To cover his face (or rather, the lack of one), Devoid wears a mask that resembles Majin Sonic's face. He originally was going to wear the broken faceplate of Metal Sonic that he recovered from Stardust Speedway.
No Face Under the Mask: His face is replaced by a gaping void that sucks whoever looks into it inside. Devoid wears a mask to prevent this from happening.
Paradox Person: Thanks to his speed, Devoid stopped himself from being completely erased from history, but he still doesn't technically "exist" anymore due to Robotnik wiping all traces of him from the timeline.
Scarf of Asskicking: The most consistent aspect in Devoid's appearance is a magenta scarf, and he's an alternate version of Sonic who is only after Robotnik's head.
That Man Is Dead: Devoid no longer identifies himself as Sonic, as the name only brings despair and disgust for him.
Token Good Teammate: Devoid doesn't really care about killing other people; he's only after his variant of Robotnik. This also means that he doesn't harbor any ill will towards Boyfriend.

Exetior

An alternate version of Sonic.Exe, this one being an Arch-Demon who killed and demonized Sonic's friends in order to save Mobius from erasure.

Anti-Villain: His reason for killing and demonizing Sonic's friends is to protect them from a greater threat than him rather than pure sadism.
Friend to All Children: Exetior has been known to sympathise with vulnerable children, such as Cream.

DSK

The result of a failed experiment with a liquid called Vitamin X. One day, a dad brought his kid to work and the kid placed his Sonic Mega Collections disk near Vitamin X, giving it the opportunity to go inside the disk, heavily corrupting it. When the kid goes back home to play the game, he gets trapped in the game giving the game and corrupted liquid a soul. Once the game starts, DSK gets the chance to kill these people and take their soul to become insanely strong.

Original Generation: An OC from one of the mod’s directors.

Mono.BW

The soul of a young boy with a severe case of achromatopsia who mysteriously died and possessed a copy of Sonic 2. After he awoke as Sonic, he could finally see colors but felt unsatisfied and disgusted with them, leading to him draining the color from the cartridge’s world and giving Tails and Eggman sentience to make them suffer more. He now bides his time until he can break out of the cartridge and cleanse the outside world of color.

Deliberately Monochrome: His entire gimmick is his lack of color and his ability to drain colors.
Enfant Terrible: Is twelve years old, and wants nothing more than to drain the color of the entire world.
Meaningful Name: BW is short for black-and-white, which is his color-scheme and also how he saw the world due to his achromatopsia.
Was Once a Man: Started off as a young boy with severe achromatopsia.

Bratwurst.EXE

No matter what improvements you made, no matter how much you tinkered with your little toys... It just all ends in failure. Know why? Because I AM the Universe. I AM the Ultimate Life-Form. I am Life!... And Death... I... Am... GOD!

One of the original alternate takes on Sonic.exe, Bratwurst.EXE, known as Sonic.exe or X in his home series of videos, is a copy of Sonic created by Eggman as a replacement for Metal Sonic. Unfortunately, Eggman was not able to control this version of X, leading him to kill Tails, Knuckles, and the mad doctor himself, as well as Amy, Cheese, and Cream later on.

Berserk Button: Bratwurst.EXE eventually goes under this when dealing with Eggman, with the doctor seemingly taking him out twice. However, it's not enough to kill him, only making his grudge against the doctor even more personal.
Fluffy the Terrible: Despite being a serious EXE like Xenophanes and Lord X, a name like Bratwurst.EXE sounds more fitting for a comical EXE like Sunky.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bratwurst.EXE gives one to Eggman soon before killing him, which makes up his bio's main quote.
Your Soul Is Mine!: At the end of both the Sonic.EXE segment of his animations and following Cream's demise, Bratwurst.EXE steals the souls of his victims to transform into even more horrifying forms.

Batman Sonic

Another Easter Egg found in the sound test of Sonic CD similarly to Majin Sonic. Batman Sonic, as his name implies, is a version of Sonic if he were drawn in the style of 80s and 90s Western comic books and given the proportions of the legendary Caped Crusader himself.

Ambiguously Related: May or may not be one of the Mazins, considering he has the same origin, also has a Face Framed in Shadow, and was allegedly meant to appear in "Endeavours", Majin's second song.
Expy: Take a wild guess as to who.

Soink’.FLA

Soink’.FLA was originally a Sonic Parody animation character that never saw the light of day. He was given sentience by an unknown individual and ever since then he can roam several different art programs on the desktop. He was a planned opponent for the mod but was scrapped and moved to another mod called Vs Documic.txt.

Jerkass: His bio in Vs Documic.txt remarks him as kind of a jerk.
Official Couple: Is apparently dating Documic.txt.

Lumpy Movie Sonic

What's that you're saying? Are you telling me you think that I ate the original Sonic the Hedgehog? *(licks chops)* And then wore his skin as a disguise to fool you, to make you drop your guard so I could eat you too? HA! You're being…You're being…totally…uncool right now! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No, this is not Movie Sonic, and no, this is not Ugly Sonic. This is Lumpy Movie Sonic, a character made by Lumpy Touch and a disturbing and unsettling take on the original 2019 Movie Sonic. Only concept art and a scrapped song

(named "Your Old Pal" respectively) remain of him. And now he is planned to be in an unofficial spin-off mod called Restoration of Sonic.exe.

Evil Knockoff: One to Ugly Sonic.
Extreme Omnivore: Is said to have eaten the original Movie Sonic and used his skin to cover over him.

Lookalike

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whenyourselfisconfronting.png

A planned EXE for the mod that takes the form of Boyfriend. He would've appeared as the final opponent of the story (later the second-to-last opponent due to the inclusion of Girl), but his design was not finalized by the time the mod was cancelled, and only concept art is left. One of his songs "Face Off"^note was given to a different EXE of Boyfriend called Yourself and repackaged as a standalone mod, while the other song "Yourself" would go unused entirely, and now he re-appears in an unofficial spin-off mod called Restoration of Sonic.exe Restoration of Sonic.EXE]]

Creepy Long Arms: One consistent detail with his design is that the arm that is kept inside of his pocket is hideously outstretched, and is barely contained within it.
Evil Counterpart: One to Boyfriend.
Face Framed in Shadow: A thick shadow covers his eyes.
Final Boss: Allegedly, he was meant to be this for Xenophanes' week, and would be fought after "Final Escape".
Imposter Forgot One Detail: He’s far taller than the actual Boyfriend, has yellow teeth instead of Boyfriend’s white, a desaturated and darker colour palette, torn clothing and his prohibition sign is orange instead of red.
Meaningful Name: Even if the disguise isn't completely accurate, he is indeed a lookalike of Boyfriend.
Original Generation: Was created specifically for the mod.

Girl

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whenthefakegfissus_20231016062424.png

A planned EXE and a shapeshifting siren for the mod that takes the form of Girlfriend. She would've appeared as the bonus final opponent of the story, but her design was not finalized by the time the mod was cancelled, and only concept art is left. Her song "Blind Love" did get leaked, though, and the unfinished product is found here

, and now she is planned to be in an unofficial spin-off mod called Restoration of Sonic.EXE. She also has an official revival in the upcoming mod "Vs. Sonic.EXE: Revived".

Creepy Long Arms: One consistent detail with her design is that her arms are hideously outstretched, and a part of her right arm bulges out while she curves her horrifically-designed hands onto her hip.
Evil Counterpart: One to Girlfriend.
True Final Boss: Allegedly, she was meant to be this for Xenophanes' week, and would be fought after "Yourself".
Meaningful Name: She is indeed a lookalike of Girlfriend.
Imposter Forgot One Detail: She is bigger than Boyfriend, and her hands are huge.
Original Generation: Was created specifically for the mod.

NMI

there's someone in the room with my kid

A Japanese spirit residing in a bootleg Sonic 2 cartridge, No More Innocence (often dubbed NMI by fans) feeds on the nature of innocent kids and gives them an unhealthy addiction to the cartridge he resides in. He was planned to be an opponent in this mod and Illegal Instruction, but ultimately got scrapped. Since then, he has had a role in his own original mod. "Fakebaby", His song that was originally intended for Vs. Sonic.exe, will also be transferred to a mod called "Hit Single Real".

A God I Am Not: Despite his arrogance, in contrast to the original Sonic.exe demon, NMI holds no delusions of being a God.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: He is not a corrupted or possessed Sonic in any way, just an evil spirit. However, since Sonic 2 is his method of choice for leeching emotions out of kids, he takes a form vaguely similar to Sonic in an attempt to invoke a sense of familiarity, described as being similar to putting on a mascot suit to promote his game. His human form is also designed with this in mind.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: As an Emotion Eater, he apparently finds the concept of conventional eating absolutely repugnant.
Emotion Eater: He feeds on the joy and innocence of childhood, and in order to feed as much as possible, he gets kids addicted to the games he haunts so they spend more time with him.
Even Evil Has Standards: Played with. He doesn't intentionally kill his victims, but this seems to be more out of Pragmatic Villainy. However, Word of God states that he has grown a genuine passion for the Sonic franchise and would dislike the more gory .exe characters if he met them, seeing them as a stain on the franchise's reputation.
Evil Versus Evil: In "fakebaby", he faces off against Daddy Dearest, who himself is a demon trying to kill his daughter's boyfriend.
Face Framed in Shadow: A seemingly conscious choice on his part, because not only does it freak people out, but it gives the appearance of his face being less monstrous to ensure he can at least get his foot in the door.
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Throughout his unique mod, NMI is able to tamper with the player's PC in relatively harmless ways, such as closing recording software like OBS, giving desktop notifications and changing the desktop background. For the final minute of his song, he takes on the player personally before letting them go if they succeed.
Imposter Forgot One Detail: NMI's skin suit is flawed, having been made without a lot of thought as a result of being too impatient to finish it. Because of it, it looks very inhuman, and the fake identity hasn't been thought of outside of a forename.
Light Is Not Good: Is primarily colored white, but he's the complete opposite of a good person.
Manipulative Bastard: If his victims try to escape his grip, he whispers to them in an attempt to convince them that playing with him forever is better than facing the outside world. As an example, one piece of art featuring him has the words "I can hear your parents arguing in the other room".
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: He detests most quirks that other EXEs share, most notably their preference for proclamations of divinity and bodily violence. He can kill people directly, but he avoids doing it because it denies him the satisfaction and sustenance that psychological torment gives him.
Never My Fault: He doesn't consider anything that happens after his involvement his doing. If somehow confronted about his actions, he aggressively insists that it's the parents' fault for allowing him into their child's life, and gets very angry if told otherwise.
Nightmare Face: If this official art◊ is anything to go by, his "true" face is little more than a rotting skull, and his disguised face is somehow even worse. Word of God says that he likes to show brief flashes of his real face while interacting with people using his "skin suit", purely to freak them out.
Perception Filter: As his power grows, he can use this to fill in the gaps of his disguises, making them appear more trustworthy and natural than they actually are.
Pragmatic Villainy: He has no desire to outright kill anyone (although he finds suffering funny), but this seems to be less because of any standards and more because that denies him what he feeds on.
Sadist: Joy and innocence are his sustenance. Fear and pain, on the other hand, are more of a bonus, but despite this, he still loves screwing with people to the point that it can cause him to jeopardize his actual goals (his song is even called "Irrational Cruelty").
Shapeshifting: While his Sonic form is more well-known, he also has a human form that looks just as demented, which he supposedly used in an attempt to pass himself off as a SEGA employee and distribute copies of his haunted cartridges. His true form, if it even exists, is neither of those.
Shout-Out: His face is very likely a reference to the infamous Jeff the Killer.
Smug Snake: He is described as very arrogant.
Uncanny Valley: He looks profoundly "off" both in hedgehog and human forms.
Villainous Breakdown: His solo mod gives off the impression of this, ending abruptly after he uses several different windows containing different versions of his face to scream at you and forcing the game to close. After that, he takes it a step further and refuses to even let you boot up the game again.
Youkai: He is specifically referred to as a Japanese spirit.

Rosy_ALT

POP goes the weasel!!

A robotic jester made by Sally_ALT.

Monster Clown: A robotic clown with sharp teeth, a rusty look and a nightmarish second form.
The Smurfette Principle: One of the only female characters in the mod.

Amy_ALT

One of the many people lost in the ALT_ empire, she used to be Sally_ALT's right hand before being discarded over a disagreement between the two. She would've been an opponent in the OVERTHROW week.

Facial Horror: The entire right side of her face was haphazardly stitched together, and her remaining eye socket is empty.

Cream_ALT

Mister Tails, it isn’t nice of you to wake up the slaves. I’m afraid I will have to end you now!

Once a normal girl living in the ALT_ kingdom, she's been heavily rewired to guard her planet's graveyard, protecting the tomb of the many soldiers who have perished in the war against the Canonverse. She would've been an opponent in the OVERTHROW week.

Empty Shell: Has been stated to have been stripped of her identity.
Facial Horror: Her face can split apart to reveal her skull, and the back of her head is permanently blown open.
Shear Menace: Her ears have been replaced with a giant pair of scissors.

Knuckles_ALT

I'LL TURN YOU INTO MINCEMEAT!

A ruthless being created from the body of the canon Knuckles, morphed into an entity fueled by wrath. He is in charge of ensuring Sally_ALT’s slaves continue progress on rebuilding the ALT_ empire, permitted to use any means necessary. He would've been an opponent in the OVERTHROW week.

Body Horror: His jaw has been ripped off, and in replacement of it, he has MOUTHES FOR EYES.
Power Fist: Has metal gloves on his hands.
Unstoppable Rage: He’s fueled by wrath, and has triple the strength of the normal Knuckles.

Sonic_ALT

Sally_ALT's husband and the old king of Mobius_ALT, his mistreatment towards Sally caused his own demise by her hands. He would've been in an unlockable song after beating the OVERTHROW week.

Unholy Matrimony: Was this until his death by his wife.

Mimic the Octopus

A sociopathic and manipulative shapeshifting octopus who took out the Diamond Cutters (Which is also the team he was once a part of, and also was the one who betrayed and killed them), selling them out to Dr. Eggman, an anti-Eggman mercenary group that Whisper was a part of, and has since been looking to finish the job with Whisper.

Adaptational Badass: Mimic has more skilled abilities at his shapeshifting than his mainstream counterpart.

Apollyon

DON'T YOU DARE DEFY ME!

The spawn of the unspoken and a rise to the Anti-Christ. Apollyon sees himself as a prophet who punishes people who embrace a lie among themselves and think they're more powerful than others. He was planned for the mod, but was likely scrapped following Avery’s departure from the team.

Knight Templar: Sees himself as a prophet who punishes those who believe they’re more powerful than others. How does he punish them, to be exact? He throws them down into Hell’s flames.
Original Generation: An OC made by one of the mod’s former directors.

Melthog

A version of Sonic who became sentient and melted his own body. He was planned for either 1.5 or 2.0, but was cut due to Revie (The director at the time) deeming him to be too similar to her own character EXE.

The Bad Guy Wins: Seemingly successfully steals Boyfriend’s voice and ability at the end of Confronting.
Body Horror: His entire body is melting.
Creepy High-Pitched Voice: His voice is one of the highest in the mod, and considering that he's a variation of Sonic.exe, he's a bit creepy.
I'm Melting!: Downplayed, as his body is somewhat intact, but it's the gist of Melthog's design. He wouldn't be "Melthog" without invoking this trope in some fashion.
Original Generation: Was planned to get his start in the mod, however after he was cut he was virtually wiped from the Internet aside from a few 4Chan posts talking about him and his two songs.
Power Copying: Can steal both the voices and abilities of those he encounters.
Shapeshifting: Disguises himself as Boyfriend during Confronting, with plans for him to turn into other characters during the song.

God Complex Sonic

An EXE created by UpTaunt who was presumably planned for 1.5 or 2.0 (due to his art being made by the late Divide), but never made it.

Mysterious Past: We know nearly nothing about him. All we know is his name, that he was made by UpTaunt, and his sketch was made by Divide before he past away.
Original Generation: An original character made by one of the mod’s composers, even more so with the fact he has no lore whatsoever.

NormalCD

Knock knock! Guess whooo~?

Nice place you got here! Too bad it'll be the last place you'll ever see!

The daughter of Revived and part of Project: Glass Cannon, NormalCD eventually found her way into a timeline where Sonic CD took place. After injuring Sonic, it led to a near-endless fight between her and a drastically upgraded Metal Sonic, courtesy of a now tech-savvy Amy Rose. She was planned to have a place in this mod and Illegal Instruction, but both mods got scrapped, and she was excluded from the revival of the latter.

Adaptational Gender Identity: Is a trans female, in comparison to the presumably cis male Sonic.
Badass Boast: Before busting into Robotnik's headquarters to face Metal Sonic and Amy, NormalCD claims she's playing a game of hide-and-seek, except she's already found them both. Right after breaking inside, she proclaims that the place is nice, but that it'll be the last place they'll ever see.

Normal CD: Come out, come out, whereever you areeeee~! Just kidding, I already found you! (pause) Knock knock, guess who?.

Dual Boss: Inverted, you play as her universe's versions of Amy and Metal against him.
Even Evil Has Standards: After seeing NormalCD harm Sonic, Robotnik is immediately prompted to rescue him and get him to safety, not trusting the soul glass being.

The company she worked for decided to release the show, but scrub her name from its credits. Enraged, RE-RUN would go on to possess Sonic, and now seeks revenge on her former coworkers.

Animation Bump: Befitting her former occupation, what is finished of her animations are much smoother than most of the other characters in this mod, which is especially noticeable with her limbs.

Demonic Possession: This Sonic is a victim of this, courtesy of RE-RUN, which is shown gradually as the song goes on.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Sonic doesn't show any confident smirk at all. At least not willingly. Instead, he looks as if he's a nervous wreck, knowing what's really happening but is powerless to stop it.

Innocence doesn't get you far.

A malicious spirit who takes the form of a monstrous version of Mario and haunts a cartridge of Super Mario Bros..

He was initially planned to be in a "File Extensions" update, but scrapped before the update was cancelled.

Meathog

A sentient pile of biomass, Meathog is an EXE created by KubiCorg, a former artist for the mod who eventually got kicked out of the team for grooming 2 minors, doxxing a person (in this case, Revie_03) and other controversies. It was set to appear in the "File Extensions" side mod.

Armless Biped: Normally, it tends to lack arms, but seems to have grown a single one to carry a microphone around with.
Digital Abomination: It tends to hide inside a ROM website, and going on it too many times allows it to gain power.
Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: Meathog is genderfluid, and it's essentially a giant waddling chunk of meat.

No-Name

Every god has his messenger...

SIT TIGHT, BOYS AND GIRLS! IT'S GONNA BE A RIIIDE!

A small wooden doll created by Rightburst, No-Name was made by the cultists who made Satanos and essentially serves as their promoter, and was meant to be included in an update with the song "Playtime", but was scrapped after Rightburst left.

Mascot: Of DareDevil inc. He was specifically made to promote their "games" alongside their demonic rituals.
Perverse Puppet: He's a puppet made to resemble Sonic, and was made by a company that just so happened to make the digital embodiment of Satan.

Hi there! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! You're going to play in my schoolhouse!

Click on me for help!

An exe based on Sonic's Schoolhouse, he was planned to have the song "Expulsion", but was scrapped alongside the rest of Rightburst's characters.

Facial Horror: Educator's idle animation makes it look like his face is melting, with a creepy smile plastered on it to boot.
Non-Standard Character Design: Like with X-Terion and Tails Doll, his sprite is a 3D model. He even stands out from both of them as well, given how his model is far more high quality, stylized to look like the style of Sonic’s Schoolhouse.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gameoverexes.png

Wow-ow! How fa-a-a-ast can you go, Sonic?

GOD LEFT ME TO DIE!

Two versions of the beloved characters coming from a lost episode of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) that would supposedly tie into Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball, these two are what would happen if even a little bit of realism was applied to the latter. They were meant to be in the song "Too Far", but was scrapped after Rightburst was kicked.

Body Horror: Both have their eyes missing, both have their lower halves entirely missing, they both have exposed muscle on random parts of their body, and Sonic's face is melting away and is growing warts.
Deconstruction: Of Sonic Spinball in its entirety. As much as Sonic loves to roll around, being uncontrollably bounced around by giant metal bars isn't going to do wonders for your health.
Disposable Pilot: Apparently, Tails got to the way he is by crashing the plane after dropping off Sonic. That's about as much information he's got.
Plagued by Nightmares: According to their creepypasta, the person unlucky enough to view their episode was haunted by the events inside for an untold amount of time.

S0N1C

One life... one chance...

A glitchy entity comprised of Sonic's body and a Badnik's code, S0N1C was one of Rightburst's many characters in the mod alongside his song "0N3 L1F3", but was scrapped once Rightburst was kicked off the team.

Glitch Entity: Born from damaging a console in just the right way that a user could swap the code of the game around.
Prophet Eyes: S0N1C has pure white eyes, though it has more to do with his sprite glitching out than anything to do with his powers, though.

Leech

A version of the blue blur who was caught and cursed by Sonic.exe, Leech has made it his life mission to get revenge on the demon that destroyed his home by any means necessary. He was set to appear in the "File Extensions" side mod.

Uncertain Doom: At the end of Joyous, the screen cuts to black, bringing into question what happened to him.

Silly.TIFF

Sunky, my lovaduladul-dul

"You don’t have to tell me twice, but during the stone age-"

"I am a new Pokemon. I am no longer a Pikachu, so with inspiration, I am now... Sonichu!"

The main protagonist of an ongoing webcomic by Christopher Weston Chandler (better known as Chris Chan) of the same name, Sonichu is the secondary poster child of one of the more uncreative OCs out there. The character is the comic embodiment of Chris Chan himself and as such, is signified as a virgin with rage. Sonichu never made it into the mod outside one concept and a scrapped song named "Shocker", but, like Silly.TIFF, he was made as a fake leak. Despite being a fake leak, however, he did get moved to another mod known as Restoration of Sonic.exe

Joke Character: He originates from a parody of a webcomic, specifically Tails Gets Trolled.
Trailers Always Lie: Along with Silly.TIFF, Sonichu was made as Foiler Footage to ward off leakers.
