History VideoGame / VSWhitty

* ArtificialHuman: Whitty is a lab-grown genetic mashup of 20% Human, 80% Other.

* GutturalGrowler: Whitty's voice is very low and growling, resembling the sounds of an electric guitar. The same can be said for his human doppelgänger in the Definitive Edition update, Julian, though a little clearer in comparison.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Julian, a new character from ''The Definitive Edition'', doesn't wear shoes, and the only thing he is shown wearing on his feet are socks.

* RageBreakingPoint: [[spoiler:Whitty reaches this right before the third song, shaking violently before ''crushing his mic like a soda can'', tossing it to the ground and unleashing one hell of a [[SkywardScream Skyward]] MetalScream.]]

On the first of February 2022, an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4QnpMCmfxU official trailer]] for ''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/354884 V.S. Whitty: The Definitive Edition]]'' was released by Nate, confirming the character's official return and re-release. The mod features a full port of the original to the Psych Engine, plus new visual effects and a redone version of "Ballistic". Additional content for the mod would later be released on February 15, 2022.

* AdaptedOut: Due to Sock.clip's wishes to separate Updike from Whitty, he and his song "Remorse" are missing from the Definitive edition.

* AdaptedOut: Updike and his song "Remorse" are missing from the Definitive edition.

%%* CrushBlush: Carol gets heavier blush from time to time in "Date Night", usually during harmonies with Whitty. Survive long enough into the song, and Whitty will blush himself as he gets more comfortable during the date.

* FlippingTheBird: [[spoiler:Nitty Gritty's down pose has him pull his hand out of his hoodie and use it to flip off the viewer.]]

* MeaningfulName: The song titled "Ballistic" is named after Whitty, well going ballistic and relentlessly slinging notes at you.

* OddballDoppelganger: Julian's design, songs, and mannerisms were intentionally meant to mirror Whitty, but not completely: Julian is a normal human, and his poses over the course of "Underground" and "Low Rise" depict him as much more relaxed and getting way more into it as the songs progress, the complete opposite of Whitty. In addition, the two songs are remixes of "Overhead" and "Lo-Fight", respectively, with the titles intentionally meant to evoke the titles of those songs, but the order in the song list is "Underground" first and then "Low Rise", the reverse of Whitty's week. The colors of Julian's clothes were also taken from "Ballistic" Whitty rather than normal Whitty.

* ScaryBlackMan: While a humanoid bomb, Whitty is aggressive, standoffish, and has an intimidating voice, echoing the hallmarks of the stereotype. His official human design, named Julian, is also actually black, though he subverts the trope due to his animations portraying him as more laid-back and approachable.

%%* CrushBlush: Carol gets these from time to time in "Date Night", usually during harmonies with Whitty. Survive long enough into the song, and Whitty will get a pair himself as he gets more comfortable during the date.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Julian, a new character from The Definitive Edition, doesn't wear shoes, and the only thing he is shown wearing on his feet are socks.

* EyebrowWaggle: [[spoiler:Boyfriend does this as part of his right pose during "Faucet".]]

* HunterOfHisOwnKind: In a sense, [[spoiler: Updike]] is this. [[spoiler: Updike is the head of a taskforce that specialises in hunting "monsters" (any creature that isn't human), which is why he's hunting Whitty, and also why Girlfriend is handcuffed when Boyfriend faces off with him. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], because Updike himself is fully human, despite looking like an anthropomorphic cloud-man.]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Considering that both Boyfriend and Girlfriend are unintentionally getting themselves into trouble, it's possible Boyfriend didn't realize he was unwelcome and simply tried to ask someone famous he recognized to battle, not knowing that was farest from what Whitty wanted to do.

* RedOniBlueOni: ZigZagged - In game, Whitty is very hotheaded and short-tempered who sings with a powerful voice, fitting for a humanoid bomb; while BF is calm and collected and sings softly. In lore, Whitty is fairly timid and easily stressed from [[spoiler: constantly being hunted by Updike and The Greater Good]], while BF is a cocksure moron who performs to impress Girlfriend, oblivious to any and all peril they're in. This is best seen in "Date Night" songs, where contrasting with Boyfriend's bravado in wooing Girlfriend, Whitty starts every date hunched over nervously, with Carol needing to bring him out of his shell.
* {{Retcon}}: In the original week, Girlfriend becomes terrified of Whitty in "Ballistic". In the Definitive Edition, she's just happily bobbing as usual to fit with canon.
* RetiredBadass: Whitty used to be an ex-rockstar, just like Daddy Dearest. The latter may have forced the former's retirement, however, as Whitty seems to hold a grudge with him.
* ScaryBlackMan: While a humanoid bomb, Whitty is aggressive, standoffish, and has an intimidating voice, echoing the hallmarks of the stereotype. His official human design, named Julian, is also actually black, though he subverts the trope due to his animations portraying him as more happy and approachable.
* SeriesFauxnale: The Date Week was initially set up to be the GrandFinale for Whitty, and it was for a while, until the release of ''V.S. Whitty: The Definitive Edition''.

* WhenHeSmiles: If you do good during the songs in "Date Night," Whitty will eventually start smiling bashfully. [[spoiler:UpToEleven during the final stretch of "Heartbass" where, together with Carol, he's singing and dancing his heart out with a big smile on his face.]]

This Week stars [=SockClip=]'s titular original character, Whitmore (Whitty, for short), a LeanAndMean, hoodie-wearing, short-tempered, hot-headed, [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot anthropomorphic-bomb-man-robot-guy]] who also happens to be an ex-rockstar, just like Daddy Dearest. Apparently he had some bad blood with Ol' Red Eyes and nowadays would just rather be left alone, a comfort soon taken away from him when Boyfriend and Girlfriend catch him in a back alley and decide to [[AdaptationalJerkass antagonize him]] [[ForTheEvulz ...for no particular reason]]. They're in for a nasty surprise, however, as Whitty's got a bit of a [[{{Pun}} short fuse]], and if they really wanna push his buttons... well, he'll just have to show them how much of a warhead he can be...

* GutturalGrowler: Whitty's voice is very low and growling, resembling the sounds of an electric guitar. The same can be said for his human doppelgänger in the Definitive Edition update, Julian.

* ContinuityCavalcade: The Date Week is this and ''then some''. Almost every major mod is present in some way, shape or form, [[TheBusCameBack including fellow ex-mod]] [[VideoGame/VsSky Sky]] in the credits, as well as all non-Senpai/[[spoiler:Spirit]] characters from the base game. In the cases of mods not done by either the Whitty team or bbpanzu, this doubles as a ShoutOut.

''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/44214 VS Whitty]]'' (more specifically ''VS Whitty Full Week Edition'') is a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod created by [[https://twitter.com/animated_nathan?s=09 [=NateAnim8=]]], [[https://twitter.com/KadeDeveloper?s=09 [=KadeDev=]]], and [[https://instagram.com/sock.clip?igshid=13dwgglvbrbku [=SockClip=]]]. The mod, once starting as just a single original level, evolved into an entire three song in-game Week developed by the trio. This mod in particular became one of the most popular ones for ''Funkin'' players, largely due to its design and professional development being so close to the vanilla game that it could fool players into thinking that it was an official Week made by [=NinjaMuffin=] and his crew.
