| 7 | * AmbiguousGender: While Sack''boy'' is obviously male and Sack''girl'' is obviously female, the other characters are more ambiguous, being referred to as male or female DependingOnTheWriter. |
| 8 | * BadassAdorable: They're little Sack-creatures, but they've defeated the Negativitron, the Titans, the Hollows, and many other villains. |
| 9 | * BlackBeadEyes: The default eyes for each character are this, but they can be changed with character customisation. |
| 10 | * CartoonCreature: Only Swoop has a definite species, the others are much more vague. |
| 11 | * HeroicMime: None of them talk, they communicate with facial expressions. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in the third game: |
| 12 | -->'''Marlon:''' We gotta tread carefully, my silent co-star.\ |
| 13 | '''Newton:''' How touching, Bunkum's silent heroes helping their fallen leader. |
| 14 | * LivingToys: They resemble plushies or knitted characters. |
| 15 | * PunkPunk: Stitch Punk. |
| 16 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: They spend much of their time with their mouths open, possibly with their tongues hanging out like little happy puppies. |
| 17 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Since the player defines the character, their gender is determined solely by what clothes they're wearing. |
| 18 | * VirtualPaperDoll: ''Burlap'' doll. You can customise them any way you want, using costume pieces and stickers. When you start the game, you only get a few costume pieces. Playing the story levels and collecting prize bubbles can get you new costume pieces. Of course, if you want to dress up as ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, or ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}, there's also DownloadableContent. |

| 24 | [[caption-width-right:350:Awww, isn't he just the cutest!]] |
| 25 | !!!Sackboy (AKA [[DistaffCounterpart Sackgirl]][=/=][[AmbiguousGender Sackperson]]) |
| 26 | The main character of the series. For tropes relating to his appearance in ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'', see [[Characters/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyaleFirstPartyStarter here]]. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * TheAce: So far he's has saved [=LittleBigPlanet=][[note]]Often referred to as Craftworld in the sequels[[/note]] alongside Carnivalia and Bunkum, defeated [[VideoGame/MetalGear Liquid Ocelot and the Metal Gear]], killed a [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest kraken]], saved both the Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} AND Creator/{{DC|Comics}} universes, defeated the [[Franchise/ToyStory Evil Doctor Porkchop]], [[ItMakesSenseInContext vanquished an evil sentient cake]], saved Franchise/TheMuppets, blown up a space warden's space mech [[RecycledInSpace in space]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and gathered the Creator Curators together for a carnival]]. And that's not even mentioning the 9 million fanmade levels! |
| 29 | * DistaffCounterpart: Sackgirl, who only differs from Sackboy by TertiarySexualCharacteristics. |
| 30 | * FeaturelessProtagonist: He's a blank slate, until you add the features yourself with CharacterCustomization. |
| 31 | * GlowingEyes: One of his costume items. |
| 32 | * TheHero: As the main character of the series, he's saved the Imagisphere numerous times. |
| 33 | * IHaveManyNames: Also known as Sack Thing or Sackperson. |
| 34 | * NiceGuy: A cheerful little chap who's always willing to help those in need. |
| 35 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: In a game where the main character is named Sackboy, there are a few costumes that ditch the "Sack" part. |
| 36 | ** The most glaring is the original Yellowhead, who is about as flat as a ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' character. |
| 37 | ** Paperboy from [=LBP2=]. You'll never guess what he's made out of. |
| 38 | ** Carved Grumpy Bear from [=LBP3=], a model of a bear carved out of wood. |
| 39 | * SuddenlySpeaking: Downplayed. Sackboy was completely mute in every other ''[=LittleBigPlanet=]'' game with two very minor exceptions (a faint whine when drowning, and a held grunt for the duration of the Hold to Retry! animation). In ''Sackboy: A Big Adventure'', Sackboy doesn't regularly ''speak'', but he's more vocal on the whole, shouting or grunting when executing his moves, or letting out brief lines like "Uh-oh!" when narrowly dodging hazards. |
| 40 | * WingdingEyes: In the second game and Vita game, there are the Dizzy Eyes, which actually spin around while being swirly (they only spin in [=LBP2=]). |
| 41 | * {{Zipperiffic}}: He has a giant zipper down his front. (Okay, it's a normal-sized zipper, but it's proportionally huge to the three-inch tall Sackboy.) |

| 47 | The first of Bunkum's heroes, a four-legged, fast-running character from Manglewood. |
| 48 | ---- |
| 49 | * AmbiguousSpecies: [[ShrugOfGod The game's manual itself]] speculates that they might be a lizard, dog, or small horse. |
| 50 | * AmbiguousGender: According to [[http://mobile.twitter.com/sumodigitalltd/status/586489943511404544 this interview]], Oddsock is actually a girl. Other sources, however, refer to them as male. |
| 51 | * WallJump: Has this ability. |
| 52 | * WallRun: As Marlon Random said, "Did you know you can scamper up walls?". |

| 88 | * LargeHam: In ''The Journey Home'': |
| 89 | -->'''The King: HO HO! I'M HELPING! KIINNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!''' |

| 94 | The corrupt sheriff of the Canyons, and enemy of Uncle Jalapeno. |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * CardCarryingVillain: He ends his first speech bubble with "Being evil really rocks!". |
| 97 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: A very literal case of this, too. He uses bombs in his boss fight to blow Sackboy off the grid, but Sackboy eventually takes advantage of this and uses these bombs to detonate his entire stockpile from right behind him. |
| 98 | * UnexplainedRecovery: You blow him up in the first game, but he appears alive and well in a crowd of people in [=LittleBigPlanet=] Karting's "The King's Castle". |

| 111 | * UnexplainedRecovery: He appears as one of the characters around the globe in at the end of the game, despite the fact that you blew him up the last time you saw him. |
| 112 | [[/folder]] |
| 113 | |
| 114 | [[folder:The Collector]] |
| 115 | The main villain of the first game (to the extent it has a villain). His aim is to steal other people's creations, and kidnap them. |
| 116 | ---- |
| 117 | * TheCameo: |
| 118 | ** He appears in Eve's Asylum in [=LittleBigPlanet=] 2, apparently infected with the Meanie Virus. |
| 119 | ** He appears in the crowd of people behind Sackboy during the Acting tutorial in the third game's introduction. |
| 120 | ** A partially robotic version of him can be seen in the background of the [=LittleBigPlanet=] 3 level "The Great Escape". |
| 121 | ** A Theatre/PunchAndJudy-style puppet version of him is seen in the Seaside Surprise Level Kit. |
| 122 | * TheCollector: Well, it's his name. He steal's creations from other Creators, and kidnaps people. |
| 123 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He shows up in all the previous worlds before being introduced in the final boss battle. |
| 124 | * HeelFaceTurn: He turns good when the other Creators agree to be his friends. |
| 125 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: He says the reason he steals is because he doesn't have any friends. |
| 126 | * TheManBehindTheCurtain: He spends the entire game one step ahead of the player, hiding in the background and snatching away various objects and [=NPCs=] with a giant robot and an Evil Laugh. Once you've finally chased him to his bunker and defeated his robot, however, he turns out to be a tiny little guy - smaller than Sackboy, even - and all he really wanted was some friends. Needless to say, he's immediately forgiven, and everything ends on a happy note. What kind of game did you think this was? |
| 127 | * WalkingSpoiler: Since you don't even find out about him until the final world. |

| 134 | !!!SelfDemonstrating/LarryDaVinci |

| 138 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: He's a wise old man who lives in a study and constantly forgets anything and everything. |
| 139 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Victoria doesn't seem to notice his crush on her. |
| 140 | * BigGood: As the leader of the Alliance and Sackboy's mentor, he takes this role. |
| 141 | * CoolOldGuy: He's definitely very old, but capably leads the Alliance anyway. |
| 142 | * DecemberDecemberRomance: He's in love with Victoria, who's at least as old as he is. |
| 143 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He appears in [=LBP3=]'s Introduction level, before appearing as a Popit Professor later in the game. Downplayed since he's an existing character. |
| 144 | * ForgetfulJones: He even forgets his own ''name''. |
| 145 | * {{Flanderization}}: His habit of forgetting everything is exaggerated in the third game, probably because the game is fully voice-acted. |
| 146 | * TheLeader: He leads the the Alliance in [=LBP2=]. |
| 147 | * MentorArchetype: He's a wise old bearded man who trains Sackboy. |
| 148 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Creator/LeonardoDaVinci, obviously. |

| 152 | [[quoteright:199:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negativitron.png]] |
| 153 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jeremy Mayne (''[=LittleBigPlanet 2=]''), David W Collins (''[=PlayStation=] All-Stars Battle Royale'') |
| 154 | The main villain of the game. |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * {{Ambiguous Robot|s}}: It's made of a vacuum cleaner and neon-trimmed material, and has "tron" in its name, but where it came from is never brought up. |
| 157 | * BigBad: The main villain of the second game. |
| 158 | * EldritchAbomination: A giant vacuum cleaner with horns and teeth and four eyes, and a planet-sized body. |
| 159 | * EvilSoundsDeep |
| 160 | * TheHeartless: [[spoiler:Mixed with TomatoInTheMirror, revealing that he IS the protagonists... or at least their vices, anyway. (Da Vinci’s temper, Eve’s self absorption, Clive’s cowardice, etc). It sends the Curators into a HeroicBSoD, but they snap out of it pretty quick.]] |
| 161 | -->'''The Negativitron:''' [[spoiler:You can never ''truly'' defeat me! I am in all of you! I ''am'' all of you! Vanity! Insecurity! Short tempers and self-absorbsion! ''You'' created ''me''! If you destroy me, you'll destroy yourselves!]] |
| 162 | * KnightOfCerebus: A much more serious threat than the Collector. He is an EldritchAbomination who caused MonumentalDamage to some of the characters' homes, and in turn, their work. |
| 163 | -->'''Victoria Von Bathysphere:''' My house! Years of building and baking [[LifesWorkRuined down the plug hole!]] |
| 164 | * {{Leitmotif}}: “Disaster Strikes” and “Panic” both serve as this for him, being used during most of his appearances in the game. |
| 165 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "The Negativitron" is probably not a good guy. |
| 166 | * NameTron: The Negativi''tron''. |
| 167 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Actually a very dark shade of orange. |
| 168 | * ObviouslyEvil: EldritchAbomination? Check. Tons of [[DarkIsEvil purple and black?]] Check. Four HellishPupils? Check. Fanged mouth and Devil-style horns? Check. Alternates between an EvilLaugh and MightyRoar? Double Check. |
| 169 | * OmnicidalManiac: It wants nothing more than to destroy everything and then suck up the remains. |
| 170 | * ViciousVac: It resembles a vacuum cleaner, and is implied to actually be one. |

| 175 | [[caption-width-right:350:I... AM AVALON CENTRIFUGE!]] |
| 176 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Colin [=McFarlane=] |
| 177 | The second-in-command of the Alliance, but he thinks he's the leader. |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * TheAce: Zigzagged. Although he exaggerates his importance, Avalon is a skilled inventor who played a major role in stopping the Negativatron. He also calls Sackboy this in the most ironic way possible. |
| 180 | * BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:He gets himself kidnapped by The Negativatron after going on one of his long rants. Subverted during his rescue, where he still talks highly of himself despite being trapped in a cage.]] |
| 181 | * CarpetOfVirility: He has loads of orange chest hair, making him type 1, if only in his own mind. |
| 182 | * GadgeteerGenius: He built all the Alliance's animal machines. |
| 183 | * InsufferableGenius: He's a skillful inventor who can't help but brag about it. |
| 184 | * TheLancer: To Larry Da Vinci. He challenges almost every decision Da Vinci makes, steals his spotlight at every opportunity, and has an ongoing rivalry with him about the most ridiculous things. |
| 185 | * LargeHam: He is the epitone of this trope. In almost every cutscene he's in, he speaks in a loud, booming voice, and almost always will he EmphasizeEVERYTHING he says. |
| 186 | -->'''Clive Hanforth:''' Hello, Science Face. |
| 187 | -->'''Avalon Centrifuge:''' [[SuddenlyShouting THAT'S AVALON CENTRIFUGE TO YOU!]] |
| 188 | |
| 189 | * MilesGloriosus: He's actually not that good at fighting, as shown in the Cosmos where he gets captured. ''Twice.'' |
| 190 | * SmallNameBigEgo: As if the "I Created Science" posters didn't tell you all you need to know. |

| 196 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Judith Sweeney |
| 197 | An inventor and baker who joins the Alliance, and later works as a Popit Professor. |
| 198 | ---- |
| 199 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: During a brief cutscene in ''Runaway Train'', she hurls a cake at the BigBad Negativatron when he tries to attack you. |
| 200 | -->'''Victoria von Bathysphere:''' Shoo! Shoo! |
| 201 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She appears in [=LBP3=]'s Introduction level, before appearing as a Popit Professor later in the game. Downplayed since she's an existing character. |
| 202 | * GadgeteerGenius: She created the Alliance's Sackbots and a bunch of the experiments. |
| 203 | * MadScientist: She has plenty of odd steampunk experiments in her lab. Averted as she isn't actually evil. |
| 204 | * MoodSwinger: She mood swings a lot, though less so in the third game. WordOfGod is that she has Bipolar Disorder. |
| 205 | * TheSmartGuy: Everyone in the Alliance is a creator, but her main role is to create Sackbots. |
| 206 | * TheVonTropeFamily: The typical name for a MadScientist. |

| 212 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Barry Meade |
| 213 | The depressed owner of the Factory of a Better Tomorrow. He joins the Alliance when the Negativitron invades. |
| 214 | ---- |
| 215 | * AffectionateNickname: Eve calls him “Calendar Man”. |
| 216 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Sackboy helping Clive free the Sackbots and defeat Copernicus encourages him to join the Alliance. |
| 217 | -->'''Clive Handforth:''' Oh, thank you! You plucked me--yes, plucked me--from the very pits of despair and perched me once more atop the gilded throne of mid to upper-level management. |
| 218 | * CowardlyLion: He's terrified of danger and prefers to avoid it, but he still helps The Alliance defeat the Negativatron anyway. |
| 219 | * DeadpanSnarker: He snarks when he isn't too depressed for it, especially towards Avalon. |
| 220 | -->'''Clive:''' Avalon? The 'Face of Science' man? Oh, Marvelous. |
| 221 | * DramaQueen: Justified, as his Factory was completely destroyed by the Negativatron. |
| 222 | * TheDragAlong: He really only comes with Sackboy because his factory is destroyed. |
| 223 | * TheEeyore: He's almost always gloomy, [[SourSupporter but he does try his best to help.]] |
| 224 | * LovableCoward: He’s constantly afraid, but it doesn't make him any less lovable. |
| 225 | * NonActionGuy: He doesn't fight. Even when the alternative, as in the first level of Eve's Asylum, is stay behind with the giant disembodied robot duck head. |
| 226 | * OnlySaneMan: He is the only Alliance member who is has his head completely screwed on right, and is the sole voice of reason among the team. |
| 227 | * OhCrap: Done in one cutscene when... |
| 228 | ---> '''Clive:''' I, er, I think we should be leaving. |
| 229 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Happens to Clive [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sryXEiHQWL4 when the shrubs reveal him which it's not a Splash Canon]]. |
| 230 | * SourSupporter: He's pretty cynical, but joins the Alliance anyway. |

| 235 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jules de Jongh |
| 236 | The sixth member to join the Alliance, and the Creator Curator of Eve's Asylum for the Mentally Alternative. She is extremely optimistic, and always encourages people to look on the “bright side of things” even when the situation is unimaginably bleak. She’s very skilled with medicine and exceptionally caring for everyone, serving as TheHeart for the team, even if she has a bit of a selfish streak. |
| 237 | |
| 238 | When Clive and Sackboy help defend her tree from the Meanies, she joins the Alliance. |
| 239 | ---- |
| 240 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not as much as other Creators, but she can be rather quirky. |
| 241 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She often interprets whatever [[TalkativeLoon Dr. Higginbotham]] is rambling about. |
| 242 | * EyepatchOfPower: She has an eyepatch and runs the Asylum. |
| 243 | * GratuitousSpanish: All the time. For example, she calls the Negativitron "El Negativitron Diablo." |
| 244 | -->'''Eve:''' Es hora de GET OUT OF HERE! |
| 245 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: She has one of these. |
| 246 | * ItsAllAboutMe: One of her main personality flaws seems to be this, as when we first see her, she’s talking about how the patients “are nothing without my care, without my love.” She also claims she will only help the Alliance if they do something for her in return. Part of her CharacterDevelopment is her outgrowing this. |
| 247 | * OddFriendship: The glamorous, caring, optimistic Eve seems to be the last person to befriend eccentric, hippie super-genius Dr. Higginbotham, and yet they get along like to peas in a pod. |
| 248 | * ThePollyanna: Despite how dangerous or bleak a situation may be, she never loses her upbeat, can-do attitude. |

| 253 | [[caption-width-right:350:Not wasting a moment, let’s blast off!]] |
| 254 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Ewan Bailey |
| 255 | The seventh and final member of The Alliance, and the Creator Curator of The Cosmos. He’s highly regarded throughout Craftworld, and is considered to be the greatest creator who ever lived. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} But he’s kind of a weirdo.]] He constantly spouts MeaninglessMeaningfulWords, eats socks, licks people’s eyeballs, and has a weird obsession with video games. |
| 256 | ---- |
| 257 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: The time where he forgot what he was doing in the middle of a battle comes to mind. |
| 258 | * AcePilot: He is the only Alliance member who know how to pilot Huge Spaceship accurately. In his absence, Larry, Avalon, and Clive have to work together to fly it, and even then they barely manage to keep it in the air. |
| 259 | * AlliterativeName: Herbert Higginbotham. |
| 260 | * BigEater: Most of his ramblings center around food. |
| 261 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He’s incredibly useful to have around, as he seems to be the only one skilled enough to repair or pilot Huge Spaceship, but 90% of what he says is simply inane drivel. |
| 262 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even when cured of his mental illness, he is still pretty... out there. |
| 263 | -->'''Higginbotham:''' I have been on a journey through layers upon layers of mindflowers. I was wrestling, and then I’m tumbling, and everyone’s smiling at me, except they didn't have faces so of course they weren't really smiling. Still, I marveled at the pleasant upholstery. |
| 264 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He’s a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who, at first glance, seems to be just a senile old man, but he is much more capable than he lets on. |
| 265 | * DissonantSerenity: He rarely loses his cool, wearing a Zen-like expression and speaking in a serene voice. Even in total chaos. |
| 266 | * ExtremeOmnivore: He likes to eat ''socks'' . |
| 267 | * GadgeteerGenius: The biggest one in the game. It’s implied he built Huge Spaceship originally, and he was able to rebuild it in about a minute. |
| 268 | * IceCreamKoan: Very prone to these. |
| 269 | -->'''Higginbotham:''' I was eating a custard cream, man, when it bloomed into the perfect laugh of a baby. From one to another. Poof. |

| 589 | * MonsterClown: Vex, The Lord of Nightmares, is a creepy creature resembling a large, twisted version of Sackboy's fabric doll species. He has a very distinct court jester motif, including red and blue stripes, jester shoes, and a HappyHarlequinHat. |
| 590 | * NightmareWeaver: Vex is the Lord of Nightmares. He spends the game trying to build the Topsy Turver, a machine that will let him spread fear and chaos. |
| 591 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He repeatedly gets in other people's faces, usually to scare them. In the cutscene before his third boss fight, he picks up Sackboy and squeezes him. |
| 592 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: With his LaughablyEvil demeanor and simplistic boss fights, at first glance Vex seems like a typical children's show villain that can't actually accomplish anything despite his godlike powers... and then TheReveal happens [[spoiler:where you learn he was [[ILetYouWin throwing]] because Sackboy was [[MacGuffinDeliveryService doing his job for him]]. Once that's out of the way, his subsequent fights are ''much'' less forgiving]]. |
| 593 | * PrimaryColorChampion: Inverted. Vex is both colored and associated with red and blue (and also has a little yellow in his design as well), but he's the villain. |
| 594 | * RecurringBoss: He is fought four times in the game, including as the FinalBoss. The first three fights use a platform of conveyor belts in a pocket dimension, while the fourth occurs over two more traditional arenas [[spoiler:inside the Topsy-Turver]]. |
| 595 | * SigilSpam: His V-shaped unibrow is plastered over everything that has to do with him. |
| 596 | * SoftSpokenSadist: Played with. Vex does occasionally tap into typical EvilIsHammy behavior like EvilGloating and {{Evil Laugh}}s, but overall, he usually has a soft, calm voice when speaking. This is especially noticeable when compared to most other {{Monster Clown}}s in fiction, who are ''much'' more boisterous. |
| 597 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: The second he appears, he gleefully kidnaps all the terrified Sackfolk (except Sackboy) to work on his machine that will spread nightmares and chaos across the world. He then spends the rest of the game staying one step ahead of Sackboy and claiming the captive Sackfolk are "having fun" working on the Topsy-Turver. [[spoiler:And then there's TheReveal that [[TheChessmaster he let Sackboy steal his plans]] just so Sackboy could [[MacGuffinDeliveryService gather everything he needed]] for him...]] |
| 598 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Before his second boss fight, he tries this with Sackboy, claiming that his recreation of the world with the Topsy-Turver is inevitable, and therefore it would be easier to go along with it than try and stop it. Needless to say, [[ShutUpHannibal Sackboy's not having any of it]]. [[spoiler:Considering that Vex was purposefully letting Sackboy gather up all the materials he needed, he probably knew Sackboy would refuse.]] |
| 599 | -->'''Vex:''' You hurt my feelings! Now I'm going to hurt ''you.'' |
| 600 | * WhamLine: [[spoiler:"Maybe the plans you stole will tell you what to do next. [[OhCrap You know, the plans I 'carelessly' dropped?]]"]] |
