History Characters / OmoriHeadspace

* EldritchAbomination: Just like Something, although the reason for their existence is entirely different. Their mere presence induces fear in everyone except Omori.

* OptionalBoss: Nanci and Salli serve as this during the Hikikomori Route. Nanci is fought by going to the area with the tire swing in Vast Forest. Interacting with it, leaving the area, and coming back will cause her to appear. Salli is fought by checking the mirror inside the barn in Otherworld.

* StylisticSuck: Is poorly drawn and looks as if they were drawn in UsefulNotes/MSPaint

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: If you interact with them at all after they start following you Omori will stab them with his knife, [[KilledOffForReal they do not respawn for the remainder of the game]].

* ClimaxBoss: Humphrey is a strange example, falling somewhere between this and a FinalBoss. His defeat on Two Days Left only marks the ending of the Headspace segments of the game, and the main story is far from over by that point. At the same time, however, the only required fights after him in either route are ScriptedBattles, effectively making him the last mandatory challenge of the game; he plays into this fact with three major phases to his fight.

[[caption-width-right:187: [[labelnote:Click here to see it as Something in the Wind '''(MASSIVE SPOILERS)''']] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/something_in_the_wind_7.png]] [[/labelnote]]

* BigBadEnsemble: It is the manifestation of Sunny’s guilt and various fears and keeping it at bay is the reason Omori and Headspace were created. However Omori himself is responsible for the immediate conflict (Basil going missing and Sunny staying in Headspace to avoid confronting his trauma) and is the FinalBoss while Something is more of a passive threat. Accepting both is the key to Sunny overcoming his problems.

* AnimalisticAbomination: Though he looks like a fairly normal whale on the surface, Humphrey is clearly something far more monstrous: his innards are a GeniusLoci populated almost entirely by [[HiveMind buds of himself]]—which, as his boss fight demonstrates, apparently have ''stomachs of their own'', allowing Humphrey to swallow the party ''multiple times over.'' The Branch Coral indicates that he was not always this way, suggesting that he may have once been a more normal whale before becoming whatever he is now. It says something that even [[TheStoic Omori]] is seemingly unsettled by him, as indicated by his entry for Humphrey in the Foe Facts journal:

[[folder:Hands-Kun]]

* AndYouWereThere: The omnipresence of Bunnies in Headspace seems to derive from [[spoiler:[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/omori/images/2/27/Spaceboyfriendcomic.png their presence in Captain Spaceboy's comics]]; they may also be based on Aubrey's pet rabbit Bun-Bun.]]

* BornUnlucky: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]], as seen in his introduction above. All of Snaley's appearances end with something unfortunate happening to him, [[spoiler:typically resulting in [[TheyKilledKennyAgain his death.]] It's most evident in his appearance on Sweetheart's show, where he is inexplicably struck by lightning while indoors... ''[[ExaggeratedTrope in a building that's underground]]''.]]
* RuleOfThree: In earlier versions, he makes three appearances throughout the game, and [[spoiler:immediately dies every single time]]. Double-subverted in version 1.0.8 where his third appearance out of four is him as a joke boss; however you kill him when he is fought at the last possible point.

* KilledOffForReal: If Omori [[spoiler:kills Mewo in Black Space in the Hikikomori Route]], she will no longer appear in White Space. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in the true route: she will still appear to guide Sunny to the friendly, ghostly version of Mari playing the piano before taking a trip to Memory Lane, implying that they are different entities from their usual dream world counterparts.]]
* SenselessSacrifice: In an event in [[spoiler:Black Space]], the player has the option to [[spoiler:cut her open]]...but this is completely optional and accomplishes nothing.

* UseYourHead: He's told by Berly to use his head to play tetherball, as every time he uses his hands his excessive strength literally knocks the ball out of the park.

* AndYouWereThere: They're all [[spoiler:based on Sunny's old stuffed toys; Bangs on the other hand bears resemblance to Jesse, one of the residents of Faraway Town]].

* DamageSpongeBoss: The boss has 1000 HP and 999 defense so the fight will take an extremely long time regardless of strategy.
* StoneWall: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. The thing has no attacks at all but such ludicrous defense that {{Armor Piercing Attack}}s are required to defeat it.

* PowerOfFriendship: Fights you to prove the bond between his kite and him.

* EyepatchOfPower: He's a space pirate captain, so this is a given. You can get one too upon defeating him, it grants a sizable attack boost [[PowerfulButInaccurate but reduces hit rate]].

* MelancholyMusicalNumber: He has two attacks called "Angsty Song" and "Angry Song", the former inflicts sadness on a party member (giving him an emotional edge), while the latter is a HerdHittingAttack.

* SkippableBoss: Interacting with him in Otherworld before fighting the Download Window in the Junkyard will result in a boss fight against him. However, the fight itself is optional and you can pretty much skip it with no problem, but doing so will cause you to [[PermanentlyMissableContent miss his entry in the Foe Facts.]]

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite the boss being a jab at the Internet Explorer, its main attack is a devastating one that can wipe the entire party at once if everyone is not at full health.

* QuitYourWhining: Downplayed -- [[spoiler:After Space Ex-Husband reluctantly returns home to him, Pinkbeard tells him to get over his heartbreak and stop changing his name, because he will always have his family and his crew to support him in tough times.]]

* LoonyFan: Is first introduced fangirling over the Sweetheart Cassette...''which she had been digging for hours out of the junkyard''.

* PinkMeansFeminine: Her defining feature that separates form most other sprout moles is a pink bow.

* HateSink: Annoying, bratty, and causes problems throughout the entire game, Sweetheart is the most easy to hate character, especially when she gets in the way from finding Basil... [[spoiler:which is exactly why Omori is making her invoke this trope so she can distract everyone from finding Basil]].

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: She has absolutely nothing to do with the disappearance of Basil, yet her obnoxious antics inevitably hijack every one of the group's adventures and distract them from their main goal in finding Basil. You could remove her and her subplot from the game entirely and the only thing that would change is that it would be a lot shorter. [[spoiler:It's implied that Omori dreamed her up for this exact purpose.]]

* RedemptionRejection: After the party defeats her, [[spoiler:Aubrey makes a passionate speech how she can still find true love, and conveniently Space Ex-Boyfriend arrives and wants to marry her. It looks like she finally turned a new leaf, only for the next chapter to show her dumping him again and becoming even more self-centered than before.]]
* RichesToRags: [[spoiler:After she leaves her castle behind and dumps Captain Spaceboy (again), she doesn't have a Clam to her name. This leads to problems when she brazenly asks the Slime Girls to [[ScrewYourself create a clone she can love]] despite having no payment for them, and they and a hungry Humphrey come to collect...]]

* MeaningfulName: Rococo[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rococo]] is a style of Baroque art and architecture dating back to the 18th century. It is known for being extensively ornamental and dramatic.

[[folder:Rococo]]-> ''"Well? Are you happy with my masterpiece?"''

* BackForTheFinale / PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He returns during the Headspace section of Day 3 in the Hikikomori Route as the host of the BossRush.]] [[spoiler:Otherwise, he becomes irrelevant to the whole story.]]

* WakeUpCallBoss: If you’re relying on simply using the “[[ComplacentGamingSyndrome Headbutt]]” strategy[[note]]Have Omori make an enemy sad, have Kel make Aubrey angry, have Aubrey use headbutt[[/note]] to the expense of other strategies to exploit emotions, she will be a massive roadblock. She cannot be made sad and spends the entire fight being Happy, which hard counters anger. She also has an attack which makes the entire party angry, forcing you to constantly manage your party’s emotions. If you haven't mastered the Emotion system by the time you reach her, you stand little chance of winning.

* MookMaker: He doesn't have a lot of health and doesn't actively attack, but he's got manpower, and [[WeHaveReserves lots of it]]. Mr. Jawsum will constantly summon Gator Guys to defend himself until you line up enough attacks to push through his defenses and wail on him right after.

* CheckPointStarvation: There is no way to save between the Slime Girls and his boss battle, however this may be a blessing in disguise as it prevents the game from becoming {{Unwinnable}} by accident. Since there is no way to leave the area without defeating Humphrey and no enemies to fight, if you were to defeat the Slime Girls with an underleveled party, overwrite your save, then realize too late you can't handle Humphrey's monstrous damage output at your current level, you would have a whale of a problem on your hands.

[[folder:Abbi]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/battle_abbi.png]]

* CreepyGood: She is one of the creepiest enemies in the game- a shadowy giant head creature rising from the ground with CombatTentacles who lies in the deepest part of the Abyss- but she is also one of the gentlest characters as well. She only attacks Omori because he sealed her away in the first place for some unspecified "betrayal", and if he spares her, she offers the best weapons in the game as gifts.
* EyeScream: If the player decides to kill her after her fight, Omori will rip her eye off. Said eye is also an accessory that grants "Observe" instantly if equipped to anyone in the party.

* HiddenInPlainSight: You know those tentacles poking out of the ground? It's this thing. Sparing Abbi and interacting with each one of them in Headspace during the Hikikomori Route gives you an item. In the (now abandoned and deleted) blog, she made an appearance in one of the posts where Omori is seemingly pointing a knife at himself. Dragging the image into a black background shows her holding the blade as if trying to stop him from stabbing himself.
* HumanoidAbomination: Ticks all the boxes with her tentacled appearance, her ability to inflict fear on party members, her connection with [[EldritchLocation Black Space]] and her being sealed beyond Headspace, with small bits of her poking out of cracks in reality. Ironically, personality-wise she is not at all what you'd expect, being [[CreepyGood gentle]] and child-like.

* TheSmartGuy: Originally "the wise one" of the three great creatures in the first iteration of Headspace -- until Omori stripped her of her intelligence and threw her into the deepest part of the Abyss for "an act of treason".

[[folder:Something]]
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghostfreak_is_that_you.png]]

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While it does attack Sunny/Omori various times, taking the forms of Sunny's fears in the process, and provides no shortage of jumpscares, it is otherwise fairly passive. It's possible that it's trying to get Sunny to stop repressing the truth, and it's boss fights can even be interpreted as [[StealthMentor an attempt to get Sunny to overcome his fears]]. In the secret ending it even peacefully fades away once Sunny finally takes responsibility for the AwfulTruth.

* TheAssimilator: It took control of the Others, originally Omori's {{Imaginary Friend}}s, at some point in the backstory. It's influence also extends to Abbi, though she still retains some individuality.
* BigBadEnsemble: It is the manifestation of Sunny’s guilt and various fears and keeping it at bay is the reason Omori and Headspace were created. However Omori himself is responsible for the immediate conflict (Basil going missing and Sunny staying in Headspace to avoid confronting his trauma) and is the FinalBoss while Something is more of a passive threat. Accepting both is the key to Sunny overcoming his problems.

* ButNowIMustGo: In the secret addition to the good ending, we see Basil looking at Sunny from the former's perspective, sighting Something behind the latter. Once Sunny finally smiles in tears again, however, Something fades away from behind both of them, implying Basil finally overcame it.

* DeathOfAThousandCuts: During the secret fight against Something in the Water, it will attack multiple times each turn with [[PercentDamageAttack Percent Damage Attacks]] that lower the party's speed and then afterwards, it will deal flat, unavoidable damage to the entire party by suffocating them. This damage starts out low, but accelerates as the fight continues and can become a serious problem if you don't end the fight quickly. Thankfully, each individual hit contributes to the Energy Meter, giving Omori and friends a steady stream of follow-up attacks to work with.

* MeaningfulAppearance: Each fear takes on a trait relating to Mari's death. Something in the Dark has sprawling hands, continuing the hand motif relating to Sunny's guilt over pushing Mari. Something in the Walls is a dangling spider with a head resembling the main Something, making the hanging imagery more apparent, and Something in the Water has tendrils that end in images of hanging people.

* NoSell: It's impossible to damage it during the battles against it, and has to be defeated through means other than simply attacking. However, in the Lost Library on the Hikikomori route, its fight can be winnable. Even so, all varients of Something cannot be inflicted with emotions.

* OptionalBoss: Its three forms it takes on can be faced again within the Lost Library on the Hikikomori route, giving Omori Vertigo, Cripple, and Smother respectively. Defeating all of them will allow access to Black Space 2 on said route.

[[folder:Loomy]]
[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/loomy.png]]

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: If you interact with them at all after they start following you Omori will stab them with his knife, [[KilledOffForReal they cannot be respawned for the remainder of the game]].

[[folder:Herosaurus]]
[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/herosaurus_3.png]]

A strange creature that seems to follow and haunt Omori, and is the one who kidnapped Basil. In truth, Something is a combined manifestation of Sunny and Basil's shared guilt and trauma over the accidental murder and cover-up of Mari.

* CloneDegeneration: Possibly, one interpretation of Loquacious Cat is that they are Black Space's twisted clone of Big Yellow Cat.

A version of Something that takes on the form of Mari, but has a scary face.

* LongNeck: The "Mannequin" variants of Hellmari have stretched out necks.

A poorly drawn cat found in Black Space's Subconscious Spill

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:As Captain Space Ex-Husband, his talks of "becoming one with the snow" are implied to be just him wanting die alone.]]

* BornUnlucky: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]], as seen in his introduction above. All of Snaley's appearances end with something unfortunate happening to him, [[spoiler: typically resulting in [[TheyKilledKennyAgain his death.]] It's most evident in his appearance on Sweetheart's show, where he is inexplicably struck by lightning while indoors... ''[[ExaggeratedTrope in a building that's underground]]''.]]

* HeroAntagonist: In the Omori route, he's effectively this as the main antagonist to Omori's VillainProtagonist, as Kel and Spirit!Mari do not appear to coax Sunny to face the truth. As such [[HeKnowsTooMuch getting rid of him is Omori's top priority]].

* PostFinalBoss: Of the Omori Route, as he fights you at the very end of Black Space, but is a HopelessBossFight. Afterwards, the PlayableEpilogue begins.

* RouteBoss: You can only fight him in the Omori Route.
* WhatTheHellHero: If Sunny doesn't reconnect with his friends and Omori rescues Headspace Basil to try and rebuild Headspace, the Stranger gets fed up with Sunny evading the truth, and forces a fight with him in a vain attempt to get Sunny to break away from his unhealthy coping mechanism.

* MeaningfulName: "Cocoro"--the Japanese word for "heart"--spelled backwards.

* CheckPointStarvation: There is no way to save between the Slime Girls and his boss battle, however this may be a blessing in disguise as it prevents the game from becoming {{Unwinnable}} by accident. Since there is no way to leave the area without defeating Humphrey and no enemies to fight, if you were to defeat the Slime Girls with an underleveled party, overwrite your save, then realize too late you can't handle Humphrey's monstrous damage output at your current level, you would have a [[JustForPun whale of a problem]] on your hands.

* MatureYoungerSibling: Medusa is the youngest of the three sisters, but is far more competent and level-headed than the HotBlooded Marina and BrilliantButLazy Molly, with her Foe Facts entry noting how her experience at defusing their arguments. Her Sweetheart clone is also the only one that isn't flawed in some way: in fact, Sweetheart rejects it because [[{{Narcissist}} it's]] ''[[{{Narcissist}} too]]'' [[{{Narcissist}} perfect for her to stand.]]

* HellIsThatNoise: Whenever this thing appears, expect to hear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk8Uc8sFrSA a eerie noise]] resembling the sound of giggling. A possible origin for the noise is [[https://youtu.be/zvSGi7RxFfw?t=155 this Disney Eurobeat live show of all things]].

* SlasherSmile: In two of its forms, it has a wide smile with sharp pointy teeth as it stares at Sunny/Omori and torments him with nightmares.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Something's general appearance is that of a sinister clump of Mari's hair, as carrying her long-haired corpse around left quite the impression on both Sunny and Basil. It becomes a more straightfoward example as the hostile crooked Hellmaris that appear in certain spots. It even has the backstory of having been created by the death of a woman at the hands of a male character (albeit, it was an accident on Sunny's part).

* UnskilledButStrong: Something In the Walls can deal massive damage in the secret fight against it, but it doesn't have any other gimmicks.
* {{Youkai}}: Something's default form bears a striking resemblance to an ''[[https://yokai.com/ushirogami/ ushirogami]]'' and shares several characteristics with it, such as its penchant for looming behind Sunny and its association with his fears. Its 'true' form as Mari's hanged corpse also clearly takes cues from the ''onryō'', as noted above in StringyHairedGhostGirl.
* ZeroEffortBoss: In the Main Route, Sunny cannot "lose" to Something's alternate forms, no matter how much you make him dawdle on facing his fears.

* FinalBoss: Humphrey is the last mandatory challenge in the game, and thus has three phases to his fight.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Appears mostly human from her sprite, but possesses reptilian traits.
