5	! The Spirit/Golden Eyes
6
7	The PlayerCharacter, nameless, voiceless, but ''[[FullFrontalAssault definitely]]'' male.
8	----
9	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Still implied in the game in a seeming flashback of the surface where you jump off a buidling, the original Russian version explicitly states that the protagonist committed suicide prior to the start of the game.]]
10	* HeroicMime
11	* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: Should you choose to ascend a Sister instead of yourself.]]
12	* FullFrontalAssault: Since the game is in first-person, you never really see the player character... until you go into your menus to manage your stuff. Then you get to see a nondescript, featureless, naked male person floating in a void.
13	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Misusing colour leads to several Brothers and Sisters berating you, since [[spoiler:every drop of Nerva you spend brings the Void that much closer to death.]]
14	** [[spoiler:Your very presence is slowly killing the Void...though Color also explains that Voids are destined to die.]]
15	* NoNameGiven/ OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Spirit is never given a name. Some of the Sisters call him Golden Eyes.
16	** It's possible his name, or at least his name should he become a [[spoiler:Brother]], is [[spoiler:Doppelganger]].
17	* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Quite possibly one of the most extensive and strangest examples ever. [[spoiler: The Sleeper was once the Awake but lost his soul...and the soul he lost is you, the Void is you. And it's no MentalWorld, but a Limit, as is the Nightmare and the Surface/Upper Limit, a Chamber is not truly a place but a state of the soul. A human life is a Chain of Limits, a Chain of Voids, and the Chain is said to be endless...]]
18	* SupernaturalGoldEyes
19	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: Both your presence and your actions are killing the Void. Color itself explains that when a living soul appears in a Void the soul "inevitably transforms Color through itself" as its nature, and that Voids are destined to die.]]

23
24	[[folder: The Sisters]]
25	!! In General
26	* DamselInDistress: They're stuck in their chambers, their powers and free will restricted by [[CensorSteam chains]] and can only beg/trick/seduce you into freeing them.
27	* GreyAndGrayMorality: They seem like helpless damsels under duress, imprisoned by cruel captors, but many of them are just using you or are apathetically waiting to die.
28	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: The majority of them are naked and they don't seem to mind or notice. You can even take away the [[CensorSteam Censor Chains]] by giving them colour. Only [[TheVamp Ava]] really seems to notice.
29	* LivingMacguffin: [[spoiler: As Aya and Color itself explains, the Sisters were created by the Sleeper and are dreams of the future, his dreams of a better world...and upon achieving Breakthrough and ascending to the next Limit that is the surface, that Sister will become the soul of a new age of mankind and change the entire world.]]
30	* ThemeNaming: All the sisters have 3-letter names, except for Yani and Echo. This is mostly due to [[LostInTranslation translation]], since 'ya' and 'ch' are single letters in Russian.
31	* ToxicPhlebotinum: Certain colours hurt and will eventually kill certain sisters, and damages their chambers.
32	* VideoGameCaringPotential: Giving them colour and freeing them makes them happier and more responsive.
33	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The player may poison them with specific types of colour and slowly kill all of them.
34
35	! Uta
36	-->'''Voiced by:''' Marianne Graffam
37
38	The Sister who lives in a damp flooded cave hear the body of water and lies in a suspended boat. She accepts emerald and silver colours, but is poisoned by amber and crimson. Her Brother is Mantid.
39	----
40	* ExtremeDoormat: Very scared to disobey her brother and therefore is very passive. She also tries to warn player to not interact with the Brothers, for his own good.
41	* MysticalWhiteHair
42	* TheStoic
43	* WeirdMoon: From her boat cradle she can see the moon through the hole in the cave ceiling. The moon has one eye, and it stares back at her. Also, the moon can be seen when the Player walks outside the cave. It is unclear if it is somehow related to Uta's attire.
44
45	! Ava
46	-->'''Voiced by:''' Manon Kahle
47
48	Lives in an Egyptian-themed alcove. She accepts violet and amber, but is poisoned by gold and azure. Her Brother is Whaler.
49	----
50	* TheTease: Promises you a "reward" for giving her more colour, which also removes her censorship.
51	* TheVamp: Basically, she calmly and composedly begs you to feed her with color.
52
53	! Una
54	-->'''Voiced by:''' Marty Sander
55
56	A hot-headed Sister who lives in a big forge and is seen kneeling down before the fireplace. She accepts azure and crimson, but is poisoned by gold and violet. Her Brother is Patriarch.
57	----
58	* FieryRedhead: Both literally and figuratively.
59	* WildCard: She openly states she wants to do something big and revolutionary, like the fire is burning inside her. Yet she is harmless and has her own goals.
60
61	! Ire
62	-->'''Voiced by:''' Marty Sander
63
64	A seductress Sister who lives in a gazebo at the dark pond. She accepts amber and gold. Her Brother is Triumphator.
65	----
66	* FieryRedhead: Inverted: being a redhead, she is very calm.
67	* GoodBadGirl: Constantly makes innuendos and tries to seduce the Player.
68	* StationaryBoss: Subverted, if considered as a boss of sorts: she is the only sister who changes her location on her chamber.
69
70	! Eli
71	-->'''Voiced by:''' Megan Gay
72
73	Crafty and mannish Sister who lives on a blimp. She accepts silver and crimson, but is poisoned by gold and violet. Her Brother is Ironclad.
74	----
75	* BoyishShortHair
76	* TheLadette: Is not very feminine and speaks like a country guy.
77	* MysticalWhiteHair
78	* WrenchWench: If to believe her, she herself made the blimp she is inhabiting now. She also reminds on how she does like to build things.
79
80	! Ima
81	-->'''Voiced by:''' Manon Kahle
82
83	A masochistic and death-seeking Sister chained to a cross. She accepts emerald and azure, but is poisoned by violet and amber. Her Brother is Caterpillar.
84	----
85	* BrainyBrunette
86	* DeathSeeker: Constantly wishes the pendulum to finally cut her up and asks the Player not to give her colour and to leave her to die. This may be also a ConsummateLiar attire.
87	* WoundedGazelleGambit: She is presented as a victim of torture, but she obviously wants to escape it.
88
89	! Yani
90	-->'''Voiced by:''' Marianne Graffam
91
92	A young Sister who lives at the top of the Void in a place that resembles a creepy flat in the house. She accepts azure and violet. Her Brother is Warden.
93	----
94	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Zig-zagged: she actually does not want to leave her creepy chamber, implying that she is still scared to go deeper.
95	* DistaffCounterpart: To Ole. She is presented as a darker version of her. The Garden which is situated near her chamber in the Void looks exactly like Ole's, but with a dark sky.
96	* MysticalWhiteHair
97	* MysteriousWaif: No one really knows her motivations and wishes, except she is presented as a scared little girl.
98	** Warden, however, does not believe her and considers her to be a CreepyChild. Then again, he is the Brother and has his own morality.
99	* NothingIsScarier: Yani's chamber is the only one which contains no background music. Occasionally, the silence is broken by the sounds of footsteps out of nowhere.
100	* RoomFullOfCrazy: The chamber where she lives resembles an abandoned and dark flat. Not only it is decrepit and dirty, its walls are also covered with blood stains, the rooms contain several tombstones, broken furniture and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking piles of strange books]]. In contrast, Yani tends to stay in a neat bed with a canopy, possibly seeing it as a safe place.
101
102	! Ole
103	-->'''Voiced by:''' Megan Gay
104
105	One of the top-most Sisters among with Yani, having the image of an eternal bride. She accepts amber and violet. Her Brother is Pit, but it's implied that The Spirit was intended to become her Brother.
106	----
107	* DistaffCounterpart: To Yani. She looks more like a hopeful and lighter version of her, and the Garden situated near her chamber in the Void is absolutely similar to Yani's garden, except it has a light day sky, but covered in [[RealIsBrown thick brown mist]].
108	* FacialMarkings: White and blue curving lines that go from her forehead, over her eyes, down to her chin. She also has some sort of symbol on her forehead.
109	* LastGirlWins: If you choose her.
110	* LighterAndSofter: Not only her chamber is a lighter counterpart to Yani's, it is the only chamber that has windows and is lit enough not to be scary. It is still decrepit, but looks more positive and hopeful than chambers of other sisters.
111	* MysticalWhiteHair
112	* OlderThanTheyLook: Has been waiting for The Spirit to arrive since she came into existence, to the point The Spirit looks old enough to be her dad. But Sisters aren't actually "born" until they reach the Surface, so that may be why.
113
114	! Echo
115	-->'''Voiced by:''' Marty Sander
116
117	The cryptic and mysterious Sister who once ran away together with Aya. Because of this, unlike the other Sisters, Echo doesn't have a chamber, so she wanders instead. She accepts silver and violet.
118	----
119	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Constantly tells crazy stories about her vision of the world, to the point that most of her dialogues are nearly incomprehensible.
120	* MeaningfulName: Repeats what other Sisters say.
121	** IronicEcho: Also reinterprets what the other Sisters say.
122	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Once committed a crime against Brothers and ran away from her punishment. This way Echo could be considered as well-intentioned... [[BlueAndOrangeMorality or not exactly]], due to strange morality of the Void and Brothers in partucular.
123
124	! Aya
125	-->'''Voiced by:''' Manon Kahle
126
127	Like Echo, Aya also wanders, and refers to Echo as "master". She is the insidious Sister and has a plan to escape. She accepts amber and crimson.
128	----
129	* BrainyBrunette
130	* DarkIsEvil: Not only her hair is black, Aya is the only character in game who openly wants to destroy everything. She asks the Player to make her ascend so that she could spread chaos even at the higher plane of existence.
131	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Just like Echo, but in another way. Because she never actually states what kind of chaos she wants to spread at the higher plane, her motivation can be seen as one, due to fact she wants Brothers to die.
132
133	! Nameless Sister/[[spoiler: Sister Death]]
134	-->'''Voiced by:''' Laura Cameron
135
136	The first Sister you meet, and also the one who gives you a heart. She accepts emerald and gold, and can't be poisoned by any colour. She has no Brother.
137	* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: With great difficulty, it is possible to save her from Absolute Death, at the cost of all your colour.]]
138	* FirstGirlWins: She's the first Sister you meet and it's possible to ascend her. Really hard to, though.
139	* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: At the beginning of the Confusion.]]
140	** [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide]]
141	** [[spoiler: MartyrWithoutACause]]
142	* MysticalWhiteHair
143	* NoNameGiven: It is implied that she came into existence after the colour left the Void, so she was never given one.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder: The Brothers]]
147	! In General
148	* BerserkButton: There are a large number of things that can set them off, including giving the Sisters too much Colour.
149	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Tying in with BerserkButton, the way they think and operate is a bit weird in our perspective. Among things they believe the Void to be heaven and thus are afraid of anything that could ruin it, [[spoiler: unaware that while yes the player's usage of Nerva is killing the Void, Voids are meant to die.]]
150	-->'''Triumphator''': Giving is an unquestionable evil, so taking must be an unquestionable good!
151	* BodyHorror: The general theme of their appearance is a human body mashed together with industrial metal constructs.
152	* BossBanter: Many of them will monologue while fighting you, and they usually don't stop.
153	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: All of the Brothers are rather abusive to their Sisters, and refer to the Sisters as bloodthirsty beasts that must be put down for their own good and for the good of others. It's like [[MenAreBetterThanWomen they don't think women are actual people]] [[DomesticAbuse or something]].
154	* GreyAndGrayMorality: The majority of them are huge jerks, but many of them are just trying to protect what they care about; sometimes this includes you.
155	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
156	* RushBoss
157	* ThemeNaming: They're all named after a noun or adjective, sans Triumphator.
158
159	! Mantid
160	-->'''Voiced by:''' Clayton Nemrow
161
162	Uta's Brother. He is considered to be the leader of Brothers. He is relatively nice to the Spirit, willing to tolerate him and give him a chance.
163	----
164	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Not only does he have stilts for legs, he is also impaled in his chest with something that resembles a spear.
165	* ImpossibleTask: Likes to request impossible tasks in the international release.
166	* MrExposition: Subverted: He explains the rules of the Void to you, but never makes everything clear.
167	* TheStoic: Tries not to show an excess of emotions, being a leader figure.
168
169	! Whaler
170	-->'''Voiced by:''' Darren Smith
171
172	Ava's Brother. He is willing to give the Spirit a chance, but is extremely judgmental, and obeys the Void's rules to the letter, making him as dangerous as other Brothers. He once was banished in the Nightmare for opposing the other brothers. In the original game, he sympathizes the Spirit, yet in ''The Void'', he outright tells him to rip out the heart of the Nameless Sister so to prove his character.
173	----
174	* CoolSword: Wields something like two rusty rapiers [[DualWielding in both hands]].
175	* FlunkyBoss: Floating fish heads accompany him in a fight.
176	* GlassCannon: A peculiar case in that the longer it takes for you to fight him, the easier he is to kill. His vulnerability wheel never falls off, so it's possible to OHKO him.
177	* LosingYourHead: Of a sort. While his head's no longer on his neck, he hasn't lost it; it's strapped to his back.
178	* NonHumanHead: His head is replaced with some sort of ornate metal spire.
179	* SpiritedCompetitor: His main attitude towards the Spirit, even moreso in ''The Void''.
180	* TimedMission/ NonStandardGameOver: During his fight, he'll try to attach floating heads to the head spire. Once he gets all four, he makes a cave-in at the arena, which leads to GameOver.
181	* ThatManIsDead: His original name was ''Swordbearer'', yet he had to change his name after a time in the Nightmare.
182
183	! Patriarch
184	-->'''Voiced by:''' Clayton Nemrow
185
186	Una's Brother, one of the nicer and calmer Brothers, like Montgolfier; he sympathizes the Spirit and believes in him. This attitude may be due to the fact he is very old and does not have enough strength to argue with other Brothers, but break enough rules, and he will roll out to punish the Spirit.
187	----
188
189	* BigBrotherMentor: Of a sort. He really cares about you and does try to help you sometimes.
190	* CarryABigStick: His main weapon is a long piece of scrap metal, which he also uses to operate the wheels that substitute for his legs.
191	* DrivenToSuicide: Implied, should you choose to fight him.
192	* HandicappedBadass: In Patriarch's case, it is played more straight than with other Brothers, with him having defunct legs and moving around on wheelchair-like contraption. But underestimating him is not a good choice.
193	* WildCardExcuse: Not for himself, but for Sisters: he states that everything they do is just because they're specifically insane.
194
195	! Triumphator
196	-->'''Voiced by:''' Darren Smith
197
198	Ire's Brother, locked in strange mechanism resembling a barrel organ with other sound-making devices attached. He is not very serious and claims the reason to spend Colour is due to him and his Brothers being sinful.
199	----
200	* MartyrWithoutACause: A somewhat strange example, with him claiming that you have to spend Colour to live, yet you have to feel pain to suppress your temptation to do so. Why do you have to suppress your temptation, then? He's a Brother, they have to do so for reasons unknown.
201	* MusicalAssassin: Due to him being a music-themed Brother, he plays his own BattleThemeMusic. It is better to keep distance when fighting him, because he is armed with a pair of cymbals and will strike them if you approach him; the resulting shock wave can easily deplete you of all your Colour.
202	* OrganGrinder: Mounted inside an organ and is constantly cranking it up.
203	* StationaryBoss: He can teleport when in danger, but will otherwise remain in place until he can teleport again.
204
205	! Ironclad
206	-->'''Voiced by:''' Neil Watch
207
208	Eli's Brother, who is fully covered in iron armor on tank treads. Being one of the most enhanced Brothers, he states that the metallic parts of the body are used to help holding giant amounts of Colour inside.
209	----
210	* AttackItsWeakPoint: In the fight with him, it's competely impossible to pierce through his heavy armor. His only vulnerable parts are his arms and face.
211	* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Of everything that's about breaking rules of Brothers, he is offended about the Spirit (possibly) thinking that the Brothers are the main authority of the Void.
212	* NaturalWeapon: Uses the [[BigFreakingGun gun turrets]] on his body to attack.
213	* MadeOfIron: Not fully, but not only he is covered in metal, he also has [[MightyGlacier the best defenses]] of all brothers.
214	* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He sees the player's choices as reasonable due to him being unlike Brothers, but is still unable to accept his point of view.
215	* MoreDakka: Should you damage him in a fight, he will begin [[FlunkyBoss flinging his turrets around the arena]]. They still track you and occasionally shoot.
216
217	! Caterpillar
218	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Burrell
219
220	Ima's Brother, who moves on a rolling ball. He is the most analytic of all Brothers and constantly strives to understand the nature of Colour. This is why he acclaims the colour-hungry motivation of Sisters, thinking about them as an another point of view.
221	----
222	* DubNameChange: In the original Russian version, his name is ''Juggler''.
223	* FlunkyBoss: This is the only way he can hurt you. He's accompanied by a bunch of rolling balls, similar to the one he uses to move around.
224	* GravityMaster: One of his attacks involves pulling you to him. It can be avoided by hiding behind some obstacle.
225	* LifeDrain: What his flunkies do.
226
227	! Warden
228	-->'''Voiced by:''' Neal Watch
229
230	Yani's Brother, who has a literal cage [[VisualPun in place of ribcage]]. He is one of the evil Brothers and wishes to punish the Spirit for manipulating Colour.
231	----
232	* ImpossibleTask: Likes to ask for these.
233	* MeaningfulName: Not only does he watches over Yani, but he also traps things in his cage.
234	* NaturalWeapon: He [[BadWithTheBone uses his own bones]] to attack and his rib'''cage''' to trap people.
235	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he catches you.
236
237	! Pit
238	-->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown
239
240	He was the brother of now-runaway Aya. Has a huge drill in place of his legs, which he can use to tunnel. Also, he is the victim of massive decay. In the original game, his opinion on the Spirit is neutral and he does not want to interfere in the way of other Brothers, yet in ''The Void'', he outright despises him for being unlike the Brothers.
241	----
242	* BrokenBird: The reason why he is so mutilated is that he rebelled against Brothers and was temporary exiled to the lower plane.
243	* LargeHam: Really loud and boisterous when fighting.
244	* MoreDakka: Launches stone shards when attacks. They have limited range, but fly around en masse.
245	* MeaningfulName: He has a drill for legs and can go underground.
246	* ThisIsADrill: And a large one.
247
248	! Tyrant
249	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Burrell
250
251	He once was Echo's brother, until she ran away. Along with Warden, he is an evil Brother and despises the Player, trying to expose his true nature. One of the most disturbingly-looking Brothers, due to having four heads, four hearts and four arms attached to a giant wheel.
252	----
253	* AttackItsWeakPoint: His hearts are his most vulnerable targets in the fight.
254	* GetBackHereBoss: He's always faster than you, even at 100% speed.
255	* LuckBasedMission: His fight has shades of this, since his poisonous gas pops up in random locations.
256	* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Four arms stick from one side of his wheel.
257	* OptionalBoss: While most of the Brothers are optional fights, Tyrant is the one you're least likely to fight. He [[spoiler:doesn't participate in the witch hunt]] and is the hardest to anger.
258	* PoisonousPerson: Summons clouds of poisonous gas, which slowly drain your Colour.
259	* RollingAttack: Averted for some reason: in his fight he rolls in his arena circumferentially, but is unable to do any damage should you step in front of his wheel.
260	* ThatManIsDead: Just like Pit and Whaler, he spent some time in the Nightmare, resulting in him becoming like this and changing his name. His original name was ''Hole''.
261
262	! Montgolfier
263	-->'''Voiced by:''' Neal Watch
264
265	This Brother returns from the lower plane of existence while the plot progresses, and Ole is given to him. Like Pit, he lost a lower half of his body, and this part of him is replaced with a giant hot air balloon.
266	----
267	* BadassArmFold: His default talking pose.
268	* BigBrotherMentor: Of a sort. He really cares about you and does try to help you sometimes.
269	* [[spoiler:ClimaxBoss: fought at the end of Agony.]]
270	* MeaningfulName: Montgolfier is another name for a hot air balloon. His lower body is like a giant balloon [[note]]though concept art implies that he was based after a trash bag.[[/note]]
271	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: In his boss fight, he throws something like Molotov cocktails at you.
272	** EarthShatteringKaboom: When in real danger, he himself can drop down to perform a giant explosion which can easily destroy all your Colour if you do not know any protecting sigils.
273	* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist: Played straight in his case, since later on the plot he exiles from other Brothers and openly opposes them.]]
