History Characters / Funkinverse

* {{Xenafication}}: Though far from a pushover personality-wise, both this version of Aloe and the one in Kenji's world pale in physical combat. After NEO is reclaimed, she [[TookALevelInBadass becomes much more capable]] and is able to hold her own when push comes to shove.

* ManipulativeBastard: Mostly inherits Miguel's use of the trope, what with the Society still [[spoiler:having the trappings of a {{Cult}} that believes MiseryBuildsCharacter and abandons others to cruel fates for the sake of that, but SNS Girlfriend's recruitment demonstrates an added layer of that conniving that Miguel lacks -- namely, she ''has zero interest in professional work whatsoever'', and yet is made to follow Gwen's path in ''Across'' regardless]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Going back to the career he tried to outrun to the point of AbusiveParents probably isn't good for him.
* LoweredRecruitingStandards: Took on Romantic Boyfriend as a temp worker, even though he's much closer to the original Sims in personality and so would be terrible as a therapist.

* RoleSwapAU: ''Very loosely'' fits this description, as a Boyfriend exists in her world that isn't a protagonist. She drops out of a job, gets a unique microphone, and starts a new singing career, but the similarities end ther. Fittingly, Kenji's world is altered from the original such that the situation is reversed: he's the one selected for Society membership, while for reasons unknown Aloe's counterpart is passed over despite her efforts.

* AlternateSelf: Though unlike ''Spider-Verse'', only three out of the six starting members are alternates of Boyfriend, and only five out of six are from vanilla ''FNF'' at all. The additional odd one out is Aloe Mano, who is her own person separate from the base ''FNF'' cast but still walking Boyfriend's path.

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: His parents (the avatars of ''SSN'' developers Tsuraran and Maqua) are aware of and support at least the music half of his role as his world's Boyfriend, whereas Miles had to keep them in the dark about every part of being Spider-Man.

* BrokenFaceplate: A piece of art depicting his fight with Agent Blueballs in the scenes analogous to Miles and Miguel on Nueva York's SpaceElevator has his visor cracked, presumably from Blueballs smashing it in.

* {{Irony}}: Margo is themed around cyberspace and software; Boom is themed around hardware.

* HeightAngst: Implied to be using NEO as some kind of compensation for being shorter than most Boyfriends, at least by the time she learns TheMultiverse exists.

* RoleSwapAU: ''Very loosely'' fits this description, as a Boyfriend exists in her world that isn't a protagonist. She drops out of a job, gets a unique microphone, and starts a new singing career, but the similarities end there. Fittingly, Kenji's world is altered from the original such that the situation is reversed: he's the one selected for Society membership, while for reasons unknown Aloe's counterpart is passed over despite her efforts.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: If only by virtue of her lycanthropy being an InformedAttribute by the original ''DJX'' authors, meaning the specifics are left unclear.

A werewolf Girlfriend with a sadistic streak that inhabits a world themed around DJ music.

** Her original mod explained that she has no interest in seeking professional work with her skills, which adds another layer of manipulation to Blueballs's management of the Society -- particularly the implication of preying on TheKnightsWhoSaySquee.

* BrokenFaceplate: Tabi, in the process of dismantling the NEO suit, starts by punching Aloe in the face and breaking the Dealmaker in half.

* TwoferTokenMinority: Both a closet lesbian and Japanese, compared to the rest of the gang's Anglocentric or race-agnostic origins.

A Boyfriend who has a professional job hunting down and terminating the reality-altering monsters known as Trollges.

In this universe, Agent Blueballs destroyed Arthur/Legion per canon, but failed to save Girlfriend. He later invented the multiversal-travel watches the way Miguel did with the help of Derpina, forming the Funkin' Society with himself as its leader.

At some point, he decided to try and replace a version of himself that had died in Girlfriend's place, only for the universe to destroy itself. Believing it to be the consequences for breaking canon, he has since vowed to enforce it with an iron fist... even if it comes at the cost of everything else about himself.

* AllForNothing: One thing that shows his mental decline even more prominently than Miguel is his physical and psychological regression into the state he was in during "Athazagoraphobia," as the archive data of his time in the destroyed universe shows his appearance in "Daisuki" is still canon.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's implied he recruited Kenji instead of his world's Aloe for being more canon-compliant, despite the fact that the latter inherited his mantle (albeit unwillingly, like Salty.) It's [[HanlonsRazor unclear]], however, whether or not he consciously made this decision or if he even knows this version of Aloe exists at all (given she's an orphan in hiding.)

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Like JJ, he tries to convince others and himself that he's doing the right thing, but has been warped into a monster by the ever-present threat of the TP Cells and the gravitas of [[HumanSacrifice what enforcing the canon amounts to]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Mostly inherits Miguel's use of the trope, what with the Society still having the trappings of a {{Cult}} that believes MiseryBuildsCharacter and abandons others to cruel fates for the sake of that, but SNS Girlfriend's recruitment demonstrates an added layer of that conniving that Miguel lacks -- namely, she ''has zero interest in professional work whatsoever'', and yet is made to follow Gwen's path in ''Across'' regardless.

* AdaptationBackstoryChange: Implied to be living in the 21st century with no supernatural happenings in his life, unlike the original ''SSN''. His previously-unseen family now takes the form of the {{Author Avatar}}s ''SSN'''s main developers and editors.

* AdaptationContextChange: [[spoiler:Is the one to save Aloe from certain doom instead of Mobian Boyfriend; the opposite is true for their roles in the original script of ''Into'']].

** Despite never meeting Boyfriend, Girlfriend, or Tabi until being dumped into Salty's world (unlike her counterpart in Kenji's world, who is all but stated to be his successor), Salty's Tabi is still reminded of the duo just looking at her.

* {{Xenafication}}: In a sense. While no pushover personality-wise, the introduction of NEO has emboldened her into a proud indie star that also can and will rain ''absolute hell'' on the battlefield.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Now a normal ''Sonic'' fan character who lives in a world without Xenophanes.

* StarvingArtist: Downplayed. While they aren't struggling, it's explicitly stated that they've all dropped out of education or income in a way that (initially) limits their economic mobility, giving the impression of an attempt to enforce the equivalent of Peter Parker's PerpetualPoverty due to this being part of the canon.

A rising singer from TheEighties who got stuck in an arcade machine once.

* GenreRefugee: Most of the gang fits into the original ''FNF'''s {{Homage}} to classic Website/{{Newgrounds}} works in grounded surroundings (but not necessarily settings). However, there are still a few exceptions:
** Aloe is a VirtualYouTuber character design from an UrbanFantasy counterpart of Japan circa 2021.

** Mobian Boyfriend plays up his design as a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' character more than the {{Creepypasta}}s he fights, or even the way Newgrounds itself handled [=IPs=] like Sonic back in the day.
** Boom is from an AU centered around ElectronicDanceMusic and robot fiction.

* AdaptationAngstDowngrade: His parents (the avatars of ''SSN'' developers Tsuraran and Maqua) are aware of and support at least the music half of his role as his world's Boyfriend, whereas Miles had to keep them in the dark about every part of being Spider-Man.

* AdaptationAngstUpgrade:

** Her original mod explained that she has no interest in seeking professional work with her skills, which adds another layer of manipulation to Blueballs's management of the Society.

[[folder:WI Boyfriend]]
!!WI Boyfriend

* {{Irony}}: In contrast to Spider-Noir's comical levels of GreyAndGreyMorality as a SuperheroPackingHeat, WI Boyfriend's primary defining trait is how unambiguously selfless and heroic he is throughout the story of his original mod, risking and accepting eternal damnation just to prolong the life of a complete stranger -- all because he simply felt they deserved better.

* MythologyGag: NEO being scaled down into PoweredArmor mirrors SP//dr's first form being smaller than the original comic's portrayal.
