1	A list of characters appearing in ''Diminsh''.
2
3	[[foldercontrol]]
4
5	!Humans
6	[[folder:Will]]
7
8	The main character of the series. He started the webseries in order to play the game his sister left him in her dying months.
9	----
10	* ChildishOlderSibling: Implied to be this (or at least be seen as this), despite he and [[spoiler: Teddy being twins]].
11	* {{Determinator}}: Despite his countless failures in the game, he never quits playing.
12	* MirthlessLaughter: Understandable, given [[NintendoHard how insane the game can get]].
13	* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Averted. [[spoiler: In the game, Teddy said that she was worried that her various successes would cause Will to feel this way, but he immediately denies this when it comes up]].
14	* TheUnfavorite: Shows shades of this, especially in ''Act 1, Episode 16''. [[spoiler: Will and Teddy's parents see all of his hobbies as lesser when compared to Teddy's achievements, even though he's a straight A student]].
15	[[/folder]]
16
17	[[folder:Will's Sister]]
18
19	Will's [[spoiler:deceased twin]] sister. She's the creator of ''Diminish'', a game tailor-made for her brother. Her name is [[spoiler:Teddy/Theodora]].
20	----
21	* AcademicAthlete: On top of making a functional, detailed game in the span of 4 months, she was [[spoiler:training to be an Olympic swimmer prior to her death]].
22	* BrokenBird: As the game was created prior to her death, it's almost a given that most of her thoughts are on the negative side.
23	* CoolBigSis: While Teddy and Will are [[spoiler:twins (with Will being born first)]], Will still sees her as this.
24	* ExtremeDoormat: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Teddy sees herself as such, and worries that this will have major consequences after her death. It's unclear if she ''was'' a doormat, or this view was a product of her impending death]].
25	* TheGift: Insanely talented. High academic scores, high athletic scores ([[spoiler:given she was accepted into the Olympic swim team]]), and a talented artist and game designer to boot.
26	* ParentalFavoritism: On the receiving end of this. [[spoiler:An in-game text conversation in ''Act 1, Episode 16'' shows a conversation between Teddy and one of their parents about Will. The parent praises Teddy for all of her accomplishments while dismissing all of Will's hobbies as lesser. Teddy is clearly uncomfortable with this treatment]].
27	* PosthumousCharacter: Dead at the start of the series. All we know about her comes from the game's text and Will's ramblings about her.
28	* SecretKeeper: Has a horrible secret that she has been keeping from Will. What it is [[spoiler:is implied to be rather gruesome, given the horrific imagery that usually accompanies any mention of it]].
29	* {{Tomboy}}: Hinted at by Will.

32	!In-Game Characters
33	[[folder:Apollo]]
34
35	The main character of the game. They are the immortal Olympian themself.
36	----
37	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: On the [[spoiler:first playthrough]], they constantly zigzag between this and despair. Played straight on the [[spoiler:second playthrough, where their "death" counter turns into a "tries" counter]].
38	* DeadpanSnarker: After a while of dying, Apollo starts to snark on Will's ability to play the game.
39	* {{Determinator}}: Despite all the pain Apollo goes through, they never give up their mission to help other people. Exemplified in ''Act 1, Episode 9'' where, [[spoiler:after being stuck in a constant loop of dying due to never saving at a checkpoint, they force their way out of the loop by using pain as a source of power. In the process, this changes the "death" counter into a "tries" counter, showing their new-found strength]].
40	* FightsLikeANormal: Attacks by punching. Odd, given that the Greek god is associated with an enhanced bow and arrow.
