10 [[caption-width-right:976:From left to right: Sally, The Protagonist, and Ben]]
11----
12* ThePowerOfFriendship: They defeat the [[{{Satan}} Devil]] in the good ending by standing together and facing their fears.
13* TrueCompanions: The Protagonist, Ben, and Sally become this over the course of the game. This gets thrown completely out of the window in the bad ending, as Ben [[EverybodyDiesEnding murders everyone in town]], including Sally, and gives the player a FateWorseThanDeath.
14* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: If you choose the female protagonist, Ben will be the only boy in the group.
15* TwoGuysAndAGirl: If you choose the male protagonist, Sally will be the only girl in the group.
16* YoungerThanTheyLook: Their MV Edition portraits make them look almost like adults despite being children.

24
25The protagonist of the game that recently moved to [[TownWithADarkSecret Creelles Town]] with their mother. It is [[TheChosenOne their job]] to defeat various creepypastas alongside Ben and Sally in order to save the town.
26----
27* CanonName: Luke and Luna.
28* TheChosenOne: Bloo-Dee tells them they are the chosen one.
29* DisappearedDad: There's zero mention of their father.
30* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The male protagonist.
31* EyesOutOfSight: The male protagonist has his eyes covered by his hair, but only in the cover art. In-game, he appears to be [[HidingBehindYourBangs Hiding Behind His Bangs]] than rather than having his eyes covered completely.
32* FateWorseThanDeath: Ben gives one to the player in the bad ending, cursing them to be trapped with him for all eternity.
33* FeaturelessProtagonist: They have no defined personality traits or characterization so the player can freely project onto them.
34* HeroicMime: The protagonist doesn't say much at all.
35* HidingBehindYourBangs: The female protagonist's portrait in the MV Edition.
36* FriendshipDenial: You can refuse to participate in the [[FriendshipMoment friendship moment]] between Sally and Ben on day four, but this will result in you getting an instant game over from being [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by ''WebOriginal/{{Zalgo}}''.
37* IdenticalStranger: The male protagonist looks weirdly similar to DerivativeWorks/JeffTheKiller. Although he doesn't have a GlasgowGrin like Jeff, they both have the same white hoodie and messy black hair. However, this isn't brought up or commented on in-game.
38* PerpetualFrowner: Once again, the male protagonist.
39* PrayerIsALastResort: You are sometimes given the option to pray when faced with creepypasta entities. Surprisingly, this is actually the correct option in some cases.
40* PurelyAestheticGender: The player can be either male or female, but this has no bearing on the story or gameplay.
41* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Bloo-Dee says the seal that protected the town from creepypastas was broken when the player moved in.

47
48A friendly, yet [[LovableCoward cowardly]] boy that the protagonist meets on Day 2 after their arrival at Creelles Town. Despite his fears, he tries to help the protagonist and Sally the best he can.
49----
50* AxCrazy: Becomes this in the bad ending after he realizes he's just a game character and is slowly being taken over by ''WebVideo/BenDrowned''. Afterwards, he kills everyone in the town and gives the protagonist/player a FateWorseThanDeath.
51* CharacterDevelopment: Ben easily freaks out when he and the protagonist first encounter the creepypastas. As he is forced to encounter more over the next few days, he understandably becomes desensitized to them. Of course, part of this is because he is the slowly being possessed by WebVideo/BenDrowned.
52* LovableCoward: The most easily scared and reactionary out of the group.
53* LovableNerd: He has a plethora of comic books and technology spread across his room floor, but is perhaps one of the nicest (and sanest) characters in the game. Unless you betray his trust, that is.
54* OocIsSeriousBusiness: On day five, Ben loses his glasses after following a mysterious voice, and Sally remarks that he seems less expressive than usual. He doesn't scream when confronted by creepypastas, either. Ben tells Sally that he has no hope and feels like [[WebVideo/BenDrowned they've met with a terrible fate]].
55* SanitySlippage: Happens over the course of the game as he realizes he's just a video game character and is being taken over by Ben Drowned. If you choose to sleep on day five rather than getting all the medals and obtaining the [[HolyHandGrenade Absolute Holy Power]], he crosses the DespairEventHorizon and goes on a killing spree, leaving everyone but the protagonist dead.
56* SelfMadeOrphan: In the bad ending, Ben completely [[AxCrazy snaps]] and kills [[EverybodyDiesEnding everyone]] in the town, including his own parents.

62[[caption-width-right:227:[[labelnote:''Click here to see her MV Edition portrait'']] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sallymv.png[[/labelnote]]]]
63
64A mysterious girl that appears in the protagonist's house on day 3 after they wake up from a nightmare. Although she can be [[{{Understatement}} a bit]] [[CreepyChild strange]] at times, she's rather lonely and just wants friends.
65----
66* AmbiguousSituation: It is never clarified if Sally is supposed to be an apparition of Sally Maryam Williams from the creepypasta "Play With Me". While her character model makes it clear that she is based off of Sally Williams, it is unknown if, like Ben, she's able to be possessed by her creepypasta character. In the bad ending, she's never possessed, and is even easily killed by Ben. She does tell the protagonist that she is not human. It's possible that, like in her respective creepypasta, she is a poltergeist, but a benevolent one.
67* ArbitrarySkepticism: She has a hard time believing ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' is standing right in front of her despite believing in ghosts, seeing Bloody Mary, and seeing the Tails Doll beforehand. This gets lampshaded by Ben.
68* CreepyChild: She's completely unfazed by all the insanity around her, even going as far as trying to befriend creepypastas at some points. When Ben suggests killing the malevolent Tails Doll, Sally threatens to ''[[DisproportionateRetribution kill him slowly and drink his blood]]''. This is largely due to her being [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned]] by her parents and growing up in a theater with no people her age. Luckily, [[CharacterDevelopment she gets better over the course of the game and starts being nicer]].
69* FriendlessBackground: She grew up in an abandoned theater and had no friends. The only person Sally had to talk to was her cousin, Samira (who acted as her caregiver) and her imaginary friends.
70* IJustWantToHaveFriends: When Ben calls Sally an insane girl, she breaks down in tears, saying her childhood was lonely and she just wants friends. Ben apologizes and they vow to always be friends.
71* KilledOffscreen: She, [[EverybodyDiesEnding along with everyone else]], gets killed by Ben in the Bad Ending, but we don't see her corpse.
72* NightmareFetishist: She thinks the creepypastas are either cool or silly and tries to befriend some of them, but Ben finds this strange.
73* ParentalAbandonment: Sally's parents are implied to have abandoned her from a young age.
74* YouthfulFreckles: She has these in her sprite.

82[[caption-width-right:144: Art by [[https://www.deviantart.com/popuche/art/Creepypasta-475849243 Popuche]]]]
83----
84* AxCrazy: Majority of them are this by default. You can count the number of non-malicous creepypastas on your fingers. Ben himself will slip into this if he becomes fully possessed by the WebVideo/BenDrowned creepypasta.
85* FlatCharacter: In the game, they exist to scare you and that's about it.
86* JumpScare: They will be doing this to you ''a lot'' throughout the game.
87* OneShotCharacter: A lot of them appear once and never again. Of the creepypastas, the ones who appear more than once include DerivativeWorks/JeffTheKiller, Fanfic/SonicExe, Literature/LaughingJack, Tails Doll, [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]], [=SmileDog=], and [[Literature/TheRake the Rake]]. One-shots include Bloody Mary (even though Bloody Mary is an UrbanLegend, not a creepypasta), [[Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles Pinkie Pie]] (Cupcakes wasn't intended to be a creepypasta), [[VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}} Giygas]] (''also'' not a creepypasta), Fanfic/SquidwardsSuicide, Buried Alive, White Hand, [[Fanfic/PokemonLostSilver Lost Silver]], Fanfic/SuicideMouse, Jane the Killer, Eyeless Jack, Hoodie, Masky, and Herobrine.
88* SensoryAbuse: Another thing they like to do a lot. Expect a jumpscare to be accompanied by an ear-piercingly loud scream.

93[[quoteright:952:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/illusionghostkillerep.jpg]]
94[[caption-width-right:952:''"GO TO SLEEP..."'']]
95
96The titular infamous killer from the DerivativeWorks/JeffTheKiller {{Creepypasta}}. He is found in the [[CreepyBasement basement]] on day 1 after the player moves into their new home.
97
98----
99* AntiClimax: When the player encounters Jeff, the screen turns red and he says his iconic "Go to sleep" [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]], but if the player chooses to pray, he'll back off. Alternatively, [[InsaneTrollLogic choosing to run gets you immediately killed]].
100* CharacterCatchphrase: ''"Go to sleep..."''
101* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: When Jeff has a HeelFaceTurn, he calls the Devil [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu useless]] and ''kills him''. So basically, Jeff was able to ''kill the [[{{Satan}} devil]]'' despite being a scrawny teenage boy in a hoodie.
102* GlasgowGrin: His most iconic trait is the smile carved into his face.
103* HeelFaceTurn: Jeff is impressed by ThePowerOfFriendship that the player, Ben, and Sally possess, which results in him turning against his own boss, killing him, and ending the curse in the process.
104* WeWillMeetAgain: Says he'll get the player next time and their God won't be able to save them.
105%%* SerialKiller: This one is self-explanatory.

111 [[caption-width-right:500:"''There's a red mist in the room...''"]]
112
113A suicidal version of [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Squidward]] from the lost episode creepypasta titled ''Fanfic/SquidwardsSuicide''. Ben and the Protagonist encounter him in the abandoned theater on day 4.
114----
115* CapsLock: He yells nonstop.
116* DrivenToSuicide: Just like in the original creepypasta, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Squidward commits suicide]]...and that's about it. He arguably does the least of all the creepypastas.
117* HarmlessEnemy: Notably one of the few non-malicous creepypastas. He says he wants to be left alone before shooting himself on stage shortly afterwards.
118* LeaveMeAlone: Repeatedly screams at Ben and the Protagonist that he wants to be left alone, before deciding the only way to do that is to [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]].
119* TearsOfBlood: Has these for reasons that are unknown.
120[[/folder]]

122[[folder:Laughing Jack]]

124[[quoteright:456:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lauging.png]]
125[[caption-width-right:144: Art by [[https://www.deviantart.com/xxshadowkisses91xx/art/Laughing-Jack-360150626 xXShadowkisses91Xx]]]]
126A black-and-white clown from the creepypasta of the [[Literature/LaughingJack same name]]. He's hysterical, [[AxCrazy murderous]], and laughs a lot, like his name suggests. The Protagonist and Ben encounter him in the abandoned theater on day 4.
127----
128* GreyscaleOfEvil: He's a completely monochrome and murderous clown.
129* LaughingMad: This is a given. Strangely, the audio used for his laugh seems to have been ripped from the ''Franchise/DeathNote'' anime.
130* MonsterClown: Well, duh.
131* YouCantFightFate: Jack taunts Ben with the insinuation that he will become WebVideo/BenDrowned.

137 [[caption-width-right:1000:Image by [[https://www.deviantart.com/gblastman/gallery GBlastMan]]]]
138
139A [[EldritchAbomination demonic entity]] that originated from the Fanfic/SonicExe {{Creepypasta}}. The Protagonist, Ben, and Sally encounter him in the mountains on day 3.
140----
141* CharacterCatchphrase: "I am God", of course. He says it before chasing Ben, Sally, and the Player through Dead Hill Zone.
142* EldritchAbomination: According to his backstory in the {{Creepypasta}}, Sonic.exe isn't actually the real Sonic, but he just takes on Sonic's form.
143* HideAndSeekHorror: Well, he says "let's play hide and seek", but then just chases the Player down a hallway.
144* SuperSpeed: He's an EldritchAbomination that takes on the form of Sonic, so he has super speed. [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] is faster than him, though.
145* TearsOfBlood: His most iconic trait.
146[[/folder]]

151 [[caption-width-right:720:''"Spread the word."'']]
152
153A demonic canine from the ''Literature/SmileDog'' creepypasta.
154----
155* AnimalisticAbomination: Its a demonic husky.
156* ScaryTeeth: Its teeth don't make it the most friendly-looking dog.
157* SlasherSmile: It has a wide grin with human teeth.
158* SuperSpeed: It's not stated outright that Smile Dog had this ability, but it does run ''very'' fast and requires precise movement to get around. Smile Dog's speed is lowered in the MV Edition.

164
165A demon encountered in the abandoned house on day 5. In his own words, he's from a creepypasta that will exist in the future. He tells Ben and Sally that they're video game characters being played with by the player, which they refuse to believe.
166----
167* AmbiguousSituation: Says he's from a creepypasta that will exist in the future, but it's not clear how far in the future this is. There hasn't been anything from the creator about a Fourth-Wall Demon creepypasta since the game's release back in 2015. [[TemporalParadox So how does the Fourth-Wall Demon exist when he also doesn't exist]]?
168* BaldMystic: Has a bald head to symbolize him being enlightened about the nature of his existence as an NPC.
169* CapsLock: Most of his dialogue is in capital letters.
170* DeathSeeker: The demon says being trapped in a game is painful and his goal is to make Ben to remember that he's actually WebVideo/BenDrowned so he can free them. As we see in the bad ending, "freeing" in this case means killing everyone.
171* FissionMailed: He gives the player a fake game-over screen, a jumpscare, and then sends them back to the last save spot.
172* {{Guyliner}}: For a demon, he sure has killer eyeliner.
173* HarmlessEnemy: The demon doesn't really do anything to physically hurt the trio and only gives the player a fake game-over. He honestly seems like a troll more than anything else.
174* NightmareRetardant: He's considered this in-universe. When he asks the trio why they aren't scared of him, Sally says it's because he looks funny, not scary.
175* NoNameGiven: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He's not given an actual name, but refers to himself as the Fourth-Wall Demon.
176* OneShotCharacter: The demon tells Ben and Sally that they're just video game characters, gives the player a fake game-over screen, sends them back to the last save spot, and then mysteriously dissapears from the game and is never seen or mentioned again.
177* PointyEars
178* RealityWarper: The demon can call the game-over screen at will and sends the player back to the last save spot after their encounter. Afterwards, Ben says he feels a strange sense of DejaVu.
179* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Although he has red eyes and tries to position himself as someone to be taken seriously, he's [[NightmareRetardant not considered scary by the characters]] and he [[HarmlessEnemy doesn't pose much of a threat]].
180* ThirdEye: The demon has a third eye on his forehead, presumably for seeing past the fourth wall. He has no third eye in his MV Edition portrait, however.

188
189The Protagonist's Mother.
190----
191* AdultsAreUseless: If you talk to her after the encounter with Jeff in the basement she'll ask if you're alright, but you're not given a choice to say anything. She also let's Sally (who was a stranger at that point) into their house on day 3 while the protagonist was sleeping and makes it their responsibility to take care of Sally while she goes to work.
192* FlatCharacter: She's your mom and that's all you need to know.
193* ParentalObliviousness: She remains completely unaware of the near-death experiences her child gets into.
194* PlayfulCatSmile: She has one in her MV Edition portrait.
195* UnnamedParent: She is referred to only as "Mom".

202
203A gravedigger and resident of the town that the protagonist meets on Day 2.
204----
205* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's dark-skinned but has no confirmed ethnicity. What makes it more ambiguous is that it's just the appearance he takes on [[DevilInDisguise when posing as a human]]. His OneWingedAngel form looks like the standard BigRedDevil.
206* BigBad
207* BitchInSheepsClothing: He pretends to be a chill gravedigger but is actually the BigBad. Mephi also let's the protagonist and Ben venture into the dark forest even though Slender Man resides there. Considering the fact that Mephi jokes about a man with no face, he most likely allowed them to go into the forest on purpose in the hopes that they'd get killed by Slender Man.
208* CreepyMortician: Seemingly [[AvertedTrope Averted]], at first. Despite his job, he's actually rather nice and jokes around from time to time. This gets subverted and played straight later on when he is revealed to be {{Mephistopheles}} and the main antagonist of the game.
209* DevilInDisguise: He takes on the role of a friendly gravedigger, but he's actually {{Mephistopheles}} and the BigBad of the game.
210* EvilAllAlong
211* EvilMakeover: He gains [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white hair]], [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], and a pair of wings after he reveals himself to be evil.
212* FlatCharacter: Doesn't really have much of a character or do anything of note before being revealed as a villain.
213* MeaningfulName: His name is an abbreviation of {{Mephistopheles}}.
214* ObviouslyEvil: His original portrait, as shown above. The CheshireCatGrin, eyebrows, and mustache certainly don't do him any favors. His MV Edition portrait tones down his mischievous look significantly.
215* WalkingSpoiler: There's not much that can be said about him other than the fact that he's the BigBad.

222
223A powerful sorcerer that protects Creelles Town.
224
225----
226* AmbiguousSituation: Despite being the protector of the town and a major player in defeating the creepypastas, he dissappears in the bad ending with no explanation. Ben allegedly [[EverybodyDiesEnding killed everyone in the town]], but Bloo-Dee is an angel so it's not entirely clear if he even ''can'' die.
227
228* GodWasMyCoPilot: He's revealed to actually be an angel.
229
230* InSeriesNickname: He's usually just called Dee.
231
232* MysticalWhiteHair
233
234* PunnyName: Bloo-Dee. Like...bloody. Get it?
235
236* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. His name may be a pun of "bloody" he may have blood red eyes, and did tell the Player to watch out or "the insanity will eat your soul", but Dee is arguably the most heroic character in the game.
237

243
244A skilled sorceress and the cousin of Sally. The Protagonist and Ben meet Samira in the forest on Day 2 and she warns them of the danger that lies within. After ignoring her warning, they are chased by Slenderman and she lets them stay in her house for the night.
245----
246* AmbiguousSituation: It's not really explained why Samira lives alone in the woods instead of in the theater with Sally if she's Sally's caregiver. Especially since she can protect Sally from the creepypastas with her mask and sorcery.
247* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Her original sprite had her in a very revealing outfit with her midriff exposed.
248* CoolMask: In the original version she wears a masquerade mask. Her redesign gives her kitsune mask.
249* HidingBehindYourBangs: In her MV Edition portrait, she has bangs covering one eye to accentuate her mysterious nature.
250* MaskOfPower: Her mask grants her protection from the creepypastas.
251* MsFanservice: The creator intended for her to be this. When Samira takes off her mask, Ben is enamored with her and says that [[InformedAttractiveness she looks just like Sally, but more beautiful]].
252* KilledOffscreen: She was presumably killed by Ben, [[EverybodyDiesEnding along with everyone else]], in the bad ending, but we don't see her corpse.
253* PromotionToParent: Samira became Sally's caregiver after she was abandoned by her parents. The trope still functions the same despite her being Sally's older cousin, not sibling.
254* SolitarySorceress: She lives alone in a wooden cabin in the forest.
255* {{Stripperiffic}}: She has a highly revealing sprite in the original game. Her redesign significantly lessens this aspect.
256* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Barring her red hair, Samira looks pretty much identical to Sally.
257* YouthfulFreckles: Like Sally, she has these as well.
