History Characters / Funkinverse

* BadBoss: Has no problem getting physical to punish dissension, [[spoiler:which becomes a major pain point in explaining why Judith is complacent to him the way Jess was to Miguel]].

* InSpiteOfANail: The Earth-409 Tabi runs into the Aloe of Earth-16063 and flies off the handle at the sight of her. Had Kenji and Earth-13166 Aloe's story not been canceled, a version of this fight without any multiversal shenanigans was a very real possibility.

* CostumeEvolution: [[spoiler:Aloe's Week 6 outfit becomes her permanent getup after the TimeSkip. It's also been retooled to better represent her personal growth, gaining green tints in the black portions to match the new color of her highlights, as well as adding the [=PuppetScarf=] and a new Dealmaker reinforced into piloting goggles]].

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Pretty much all of them, but especially Fubuki Shirakami and Mio Ookami, who are the other half of ''[=HoloFunk=]'''s dual protagonist setup yet were not dragged into the main story's conflict.

* AdaptationalJerkass: The real Roberu is infamously a bit of a sleaze whose natural charm is often intentionally mangled by his friends as [[ReallyGetsAround something else]], but he never wrote fanfiction featuring the rough treatment of his coworkers without consent.

* KingOfBeasts: Botan is a humanoid lion and one of the most heroic and virtuous variants of Pico's role, as well as an older TeamMom of the same manner and age as Brooke.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Botan looks like the same age as Aloe and Nene, but is actually the same age as Brooke (28-30.)
* StoryBreakerPower: The company's in-game representation alone could break the story's conflict in two, with everything from primordial gods to immortal mages among them. Thankfully, they're much too busy and out of the loop to have any real involvement.

* MeaningfulName: Iodine is used for the consumption of table salt, which Salty's entire motif is based on.

* {{Moe}}: Talia is referred to as "the cute programmer" in her home mod's trailer.

* AlternateSelf: All 80-something members exist on Earth-13166. Most are largely the same, but some have vastly-different backstories (and in one case, [[EvilTwin morality]].)

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pretty much ''every single one of them'' is a few peas short of a pod, at least in wisdom. Nene and Botan alone embrace this, with the former often coming off as a {{Manchild}} that has also publicly admitted to bizarre tastes in both men and women, and the latter being a NightmareFetishist.

* AlternateSelf: All 80-something members exist on Earth-13166 with vastly-different backstories (and in one case, [[EvilTwin morality]].)

[[folder:Cyan '''(unmarked ''Spider-Verse'' comic spoilers)''']]
!!Cyan

!!!Replaces: Addy Brock(?)
A dimwitted, non-protagonist AlternateSelf of Kenji Tensei who is hopelessly and financially addicted to watching his favorite stars in Aloe's old company.

!!Legacy content
Characters shown in older iterations of the story before being {{retcon}}ned.

[[folder:B-Sides Boyfriend]]
!!B-Sides Boyfriend
!!!Origin: ''Friday Night Funkin': B-Sides''
!!!Replaced: Peter B. Parker
[[quoteright:462:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled87_20230925202325.png]]
[[caption-width-right:462:''"Look, I'm not looking for a side gig to be a Boyfriend FNF coach."'']]
A pink-haired version of Boyfriend, dumped into Salty's universe after the death of the original. Circumstances force him to lecture the latter on how to become his counterpart's successor... and maybe save the world and clean up his own loose ends in the process.

On December 19th, 2023, [=LemonDew=] replaced him with Brooke due to the latter's better coding for Peter B.

* AdaptationalUgliness: His outfit from ''B-Sides Redux'' is recontextualized as being disheveled for various reasons (first Peter B.'s situation in ''Into'', then to resemble the sleepwear he wears in ''Across'') instead of the slick look the original mod made it out to be.
* AgeLift: Old enough to have children, at least.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: An AlternateSelf defined solely by how their adventures are made out to be tougher than the original despite feeling exactly the same will inevitably have any suffering the original faces multiplied by that same degree -- and while this is obvious in and of itself, it's also severely isolating since ''only'' they will endure this fate.
* RealMenWearPink: His primary ColorMotifs are hot pink and light purple, but he's faced tougher battles than his blue-haired counterpart.

[[folder:Friend.FLA]]
!!Friend.FLA
!!!Origin: ''VideoGame/VsWhittyPsychPort''
!!!Replaced: Spider-Rex
A cruel abomination taking Boyfriend's shape and terrorising its victims akin to the likes of Lord X or MX. For some reason, Friend had become a member of the Funkin' Society.

Friend has since been swapped out for Kaiju Boyfriend, who better fits along the criteria for Spider-Rex.

* EldritchAbomination: Friend to a T, although this isn't obvious at first glance. It only reveals its true form after it's ready to kill its targets.

[[folder:Updike]]
!!Gabriel Updike
!!!Origin: ''VideoGame/VsWhitty''
!!!Replaced: Wilson Fisk/Kingpin
An anomaly researcher who will go to any length to attain what he considers the "greater good," seemingly to the point of tearing open TheMultiverse and hiring the Sinister Six's counterparts to do so.
\\\
Updike was replaced with Solazar on March 6th, 2024 due to Sockclip forbidding his use in derivative material.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Has to deal with Tsu randomly dropping vulgar non-sequiturs because she thinks it's funny, to the point where she flat-out says the "why are you gay for that guy?" meme instead of the correct "why'd you create that guy?" line ''[[CasualDangerDialogue while facing The X]].''

** It's an adaptation of the Records Corruption, a similar force in both appearance and abilities spawned by Flayon's interference in Elysium. This would also give it a Harvester counterpart through one of Flayon's lore characters.

* AlternateSelf:
** Though unlike ''Spider-Verse'', only three out of the six starting members are alternates of Boyfriend, and only four out of six are from vanilla ''FNF'' at all. The additional odd one out is Aloe Mano, who is her own person separate from the base ''FNF'' cast but still walking Boyfriend's path.
** Aloe herself has her own alternate on Kenji's world. There, she's a depressed cynic who's been involved in dramatic happenings since birth due to being a MundaneMacGuffinPerson for a gang war.
** Finally, Salty has ''his'' alternate, who [[spoiler:is also another Hank]].

* InSpiteOfANail: Was originally written to get the ''FNF'' cast as far away as possible from the ''[=HoloFunk=]'' cast lore-wise compared to what Kenji and co. had going on. ''Funkinverse'' sets him back on that path, but this turns out to have fatal consequences.

* SmarterThanYouLook: Downplayed; he and Hana were originally portrayed as having only slightly-below-average intelligence which puts them ahead of most -friends, but not by much. At the very least, despite his stunted social skills, he's able to convince Cam Earth-1124 only has one Sky to keep what little remains of his sanity intact and once had a surprisingly-poignant inner monologue about [[GainingTheWillToKill what it would really mean to take a life]].
