History Characters / MarkiplierMinorAlterEgos

Introduced in the skit "Google Gets An Upgrade", he is presumably Bing’s counterpart to Googleplier.

* CloneDegeneration: He tries to imitate Google’s self-duplication in “Google Gets An Upgrade” but only succeeds in making a smaller, higher-pitched version of himself.

* StrawLoser: He’s set up as one in comparison to Google; for all his bragging about being better than Google, he’s not as efficient as him.
* TotallyRadical: He’s shown attempting to pull off a (fake-looking) skateboarding trick in the beginning and has a not-quite SurferDude style of speaking, presumably to look cool.

Mark portrayed these egos in collaboration with the now-defunct ''Cyndago'' channel. Since he does not have complete ownership over them, as well as out of respect for Daniel’s passing, Mark has stated that he will not be making videos featuring these characters in the near future. All of the egos listed below make cameos in “Markiplier TV” as homages.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: The character in “Markiplier TV” that is called 'the Host' is indeed the same as the Author from the “Danger In Fiction” videos, but sporting a very different look. Several fans needed confirmation that it was the same character.

* TearsOfBlood: In the April Fool's trailer, streaks of blood can be seen on The Host's face. The blood is absent in his appearance in “Markiplier TV".

* BearerOfBadNews: Parodied in “Markiplier TV”, where his segments have him telling the patient outright that they’re dying.
* GoodNewsBadNews: He tells Ryan that his girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend Daniel, his dog got run over in the driveway, his parents got killed in a car crash, and that Ryan himself tested positive for [=STDs=]. The good news is that he doesn’t have diabetes!

* IdentityAmnesia: An extreme example. His superhero and civilian identities are completely separate and he doesn’t retain any memory of switching between them. When his sidekick Ibis points out that they’re the same person, Silver Shepherd doesn't believe him.

* TwoPersonLoveTriangle: He finds out that his girlfriend Roxanne is cheating on him with his civilian self. [[spoiler:Though it is implied at the end that she’s seeing a third person, supposedly another superhero]].

[[caption-width-right:350:Primary objective is to answer questions as quickly as possible. Secondary objective [[AIIsACrapshoot is to destroy mankind]].]]

A robot whose primary objective is to answer questions as quickly as possible, with his secondary objective being to destroy mankind. He debuts in “Google IRL”, a collaborative sketch Mark did with Matthias.

---> '''Matthias''': What ''can'' you do?
---> '''Google IRL''': (Immediately afterwards) Kill.
* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: Google "stuttered" occasionally for a while, perhaps due to the damage done to him by Matthias’ LogicBomb. This seems to have been fixed in the video "Google Gets An Upgrade".

* LogicBomb: How Matthias manages to defeat him at the end of “Google IRL”.
---> '''Google''': Shut up! Just shut up! I can't kill you if you keep asking questions!
---> '''Matthias''': ... Why not?
---> '''Google''': (Shuts down)

* AscendedExtra: Their first appearance in ''Markiplier TV'' wasn't much, they just were a newscaster and a weatherman in one of many skits present. Here, on the other hand, they have their own set of videos that run along with the canon of ''Who Killed Markiplier?'', and they seem to have been around for as long as [[spoiler:Darkiplier and Wilford. [[labelnote:note]] Actually, considering that Darkiplier and Wilford were created in Episode 4 and these guys have been investigating since Episode 1, they've actually existed for ''longer'' than Dark & Wilford.]][[/labelnote]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: They exist as PluckyComicRelief and weren't supposed to be much more than that, but the entire community seems to remember them the most out of all the characters, becoming the community's resident FountainOfMemes. {{Lampshaded}} by Mark [[https://youtu.be/Aq-BJIb7wso?t=11m23s here]].

* PluckyComicRelief: In contrast to the increasingly dramatic “who-dunnit” murder mystery of “Who Killed Markiplier”, the videos involving the Jims are purely comedic in nature.

While he is based off “The King of the Squirrels” videos, his first formal appearance is in “Markiplier TV”.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: His appearance in “Markiplier TV” involves him running past the office where the other egos are having their meeting, coming in and introducing himself before running off again.

This is CLEARLY TARGETED HARASSMENT. This is DEFACEMENT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY. You are a RASCAL and need to be ARRESTED. I will not STAND for this. DELETE THIS IMMEDIATELY.]]

* HostileShowTakeover: Of a sort. After he shuts down the Kickcult Discord Server, he takes over Mark's Website/{{Tumblr}} account

--> '''Harold:''' [[http://markiplier.tumblr.com/post/177224519835/your-attention-please-i-am-harold-b-darrensworth I am very well known to have “fun” but unless said “fun” is in accordance with standard rules and regulations then HOW MUCH “FUN” COULD IT REALLY BE?]]

* BigApplesauce: Has a thick Yorker accent, and all of his advertisements take place somewhere in New York.

A Santa Claus-esque ego

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] He puts [[SerialKiller Wilford]] and [[KillerRobot Googleplier]] on the naughty list, but also puts ''[[BigBad Darkiplier]]'' on the nice list.
