Protagonists
Aloe Mano
Aloe in-game
The heroine of the story. While real life circumstances left her legacy short-lived, her character finds new life as the protagonist of this FNF mod.
Her route, Journey to Stardom, has Aloe look forward towards a new career, even as the industry leaves behind its own hurdles to cross.
- Limited Wardrobe: Week 5's plot is kicked off by Nene trying to get Aloe some new clothes, because her default and Week 4 outfits are apparently the only things she has that could be considered decent in public.
- Prehensile Tail: Being a succubus, she uses hers to carry her microphone while she raps, in a nod to her original debut stream in which she similarly does in-place of a mic stand.
Nene Momosuzu
Not to be confused with Pico's friend of the same first name.
Nene in-game on the speakers
Nene as a playable character
The airheaded visitor from another world, Nene's close friendship with Aloe is instrumental in getting her back into music.
- Little Bit Beastly: While not very blatantly shown, her Game Over sprite has distinct bear ears hidden underneath her cap.
- Oblivious to Love: Zig-zagged. She has actual reciprocated feelings for Aloe, but fears the Kayfabe inherent to being a Virtual YouTuber would make them sound fake. That being said, she's definitely not getting any of the succubus's hints, either.
- Promoted to Playable: Since version five onward, after being on the speaker for the past four versions, Aloe can be swapped with Nene in Freeplay mode, letting her sing for a change.
- Visual Pun: Her Game Over sprite's heart is colored a bright yellow in contrast to the pink of Aloe and Fubuki. In other words, she has a heart of gold.
Fubuki Shirakami
Not pictured: An emergency hamburger; detective skill to match the title of chief.
Fubuki in-game
A new recruit in the Oozora Police who somehow convinced Subaru and company to let her start her own branch in detective work. Not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, Fubuki's new day job is turned upside-down upon making a horrifying discovery about one of her genmates...
- All-Loving Hero: Fubuki's lack of actual detective skill is massively compensated for by her charisma.
- At Least I Admit It: Her lack of skill frustrates Mio to no end, but she'll be the first to point out that a broken clock is right twice a day.
- Bag of Holding: The bowler hat allegedly contains a bottomless supply of hamburgers as emergency food when it's not resting on Fubuki's head.
- Bavarian Fire Drill: Introduces herself to Amelia and Gura by calling the mansion in Week 2 her office and immediately trying to grill them for answers.
- The Ditz: For the leader of a detective agency, her methods seem to prioritize fun over efficiency and conviction. While she can draw logical conclusions that get her and Mio anywhere near towards cracking the case, more often than not Fubuki is left running in circles while Mio picks up the pieces herself.
- Embarrassing Nickname: "Foob," by Mio.
- Flat "What": Delivers this in response to Calli's line about Santa corrupting them, complete with lack of punctuation.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: Subverted. Much of the humor in Fubuki's route comes from the fact that Persona 4 (or any video game, really) is not an accurate depiction of police detective work.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Fubuki's route is intentionally written in such a way that it avoids any connection to the game's original story aside from the necklace, and Fubuki herself is no closer to uncovering the truth of her case at the end of the story than she was at the beginning.
- Mirror Boss: Plays this role in the freeplay extra song "Glasses" as an opponent, sharing the player's ability to push back your health while hitting notes like Tabi and Rushia, minus the ability to force a Game Over. Taken literally if you play the song in the Fubuki Side, as you sing against Fubuki as Fubuki.
- Pointy-Haired Boss: Given Fubuki's ditziness, her incompetence relative to her position is a given. Her presentation on the investigation she shows to Amelia and Gura eventually denigrates into Mio rambling that she doesn't have the time or money (so none at all) to put up with her friend's constant bumbling.
Mio Ookami
Someone has to keep our friend out of trouble, after all.
Mio in-game
Fubuki's old friend, the Oozora Police have put Mio on Fubuki's case to keep the ditzy fox in check. And by "keeping her in check," we mean "carrying her efforts hard."
- Beleaguered Assistant: Isn't paid and works beneath her not-so-intelligent childhood friend. She tries not to admit it, but the work experience is, to put it lightly, frustrating.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Fubuki and Mio are Childhood Friends, yet Mio sounds legitimately exhausted just working with her during the first three weeks.
Opponents
Normal
Calliope Mori
See here for Calli herself.
- The Grinch: According to her, she never got any presents for Christmas despite being a good girl, so she decides to deliver some retribution to jolly ol' Saint Nick via heat from her gun. Twice even, going by the Fubuki side,
- The Gunslinger: A scythe is normally her weapon of choice, but for Week 5, she wields a gun to threaten Santa Ina throughout. Subverted, as the gun is actually just a model gun resembling and named after the SEES Evoker, meaning she wouldn't be able to kill even if she tried.
- Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You: One of Calli's dialogue portraits in Week 5 has her point her DEES Evoker towards the viewer, though In-Universe she's pointing a gun at Santa Ina.
- Still Believes in Santa: Believed Santa chose to neglect giving her any presents for Christmas, rather than the simple explanation that he didn't exist to begin with. It takes until the end of the Fubuki campaign of Week 5 for Kiara to tell it to her straight, leaving her vengeance over the past present-less Christmas' to be in vain. While she seems to take the revelation well at first, she notes that with her world turned upside down, it'll likely set in after a while.
Gawr Gura and Amelia Watson
The 9000-something-year-old Atlantean and the temporally-displaced detective, seemingly still the same eccentric duo as always.
- The Dividual: Like the duo they're model-swapped with, they're both an inseparable duo that sings together.
- Expressive Shirt: Watson wears a Minecraft-themed chain that changes blocks depending on her sprite's mood during cutscenes. It starts out as a normal Grass block, but becomes a TNT block whenever she is angry or vexed.
- Everybody Do the Endless Loop: Because they're a straight sprite-swap of Skid and Pump of FNF, they perform the same Spooky Dance for their idle.
- Super-Deformed: While their in-game appearance is the same style as the protagonists, they go a step further and change into Walfie's chibi designs whenever they miss notes at specific intervals during their songs, or during the cutscenes to showcase their Oh, Crap! reaction to the mansion owner.
Botan Shishiro
- Ash Face: Her Game Over animation has her mascot SSRB blow up in her hand, resulting in a wide-eyed soot covered expression.
- Nerves of Steel: True to the source, she's unflappable when it comes to things that would scare the other girls. Whereas most of the protagonists have a visible reaction of fear towards the thunder in week 2's background as well as Rushia's screaming, Botan instead reacts with stifled snickering towards the girl on the speaker who's freaking out.
- Promoted to Playable: Stars a playable role in Week Camellia.
Coco Kiryu
The fourth chairman of the Kiryu Clan, Aloe decides to get her assistance with finding Sora following the events of Week 3.
Kiara Takanashi
See here for Kiara herself
- Butt-Monkey: Spends all of Week 5 as the Only Sane Man with the protagonist — twice — while Calli is busy trying to shoot Ina, convinced she's the real Santa who never gaver her any gifts as a child. On top of that, the the pre-6.0 lore showed that Gura of all people (whose most famous interaction with Kiara, mind you, is completely failing to understand the phrase "one to five") is miles ahead of her by being the CEO of a real restaurant chain, while KFP is still just a construct in the realm of Kayfabe.
- Crush Blush: Present whenever she sings a note herself, with Calli also sporting one in response.
- Enraged by Idiocy: While Kiara generally tried to calmly correct Calli of her mistake throughout, the latter failing to take note of Ina being "Santa" even after getting unmasked right in front of her and by her hand prompts an "Oh, for fuck's sake!" from Kiara.
- Only Sane Man: Alongside Aloe, Fubuki, and Mio, she's the only other character who recognized Ina in the Santa outfit, trying to convince Calli, the normally sane half of the duo, that her retribution is misplaced.
Roberu Yukoku
The Winning Son of Holostars and the supposed opponent of Week 6... before being taken away shortly through his first song.
- Bait-and-Switch Boss: Week 6's initial description suggests that the week would star him. But then he's almost immediately pulled aside, leaving Okayu to take the lead role as the opponent of the week.
- Game Face: Like with Senpai in the base game, he sports a Blue with Shock angry look after presumably his first song. You don't get to see this in the game proper.
- The One Guy: The only male Hololive Productions member featured in the mod, and one of only two male characters in the mod, the other being the mod's take on Boyfriend.
- Vaudeville Hook: Okayu gets rid of him this way, dragging him off partway through "Son".
- Walking Spoiler: The fact that his screen time is cut short, and his first (and only) song lasts less than half a minute, means that talking too much about him spoils the fact he's a Bait-and-Switch Boss.
Okayu Nekomata
The resident Cat Girl of Hololive GAMERS and the true opponent of Week 6.
- The Casanova: Apparently, considering that Aloe/Fubuki was apparently the first girl to reject her.
- Furry Reminder: Her change in appearance during "Sinner" (particularly the split tail) is a reminder that she's a nekomata, not a normal Cat Girl, and is therefore inherently monstrous as a more destructive species of Youkai.
- Hostile Show Takeover: Abruptly drags Roberu away at the end of "Son", becoming the main opponent for "Yummy" and "Sinner".
- Maximum HP Reduction: At the climax of "Yummy" and at around a third into "Sinner", a tiny pixelated Okayu begins to eat the health bar, and if you happen to be at an eaten part of it, that's an instant Game Over.
- Not Good with Rejection: Specifically by cute girls like Aloe/Fubuki, given that it never happened before.
- Superpowered Evil Side: Okayu suddenly grows demonic horns and has her tail split in two at the end right before "Sinner", which Nene attributes to her "feisty side".
Spoiler Characters
Haato Akai/Haachama
The once-pure idol of Hololive's first generation, now the insane Wild Card Haachama. The revised narrative of The Adventures of Detective Fubuki revolves around Fubuki discovering what has become of her genmate, setting out to find the truth.
- Affably Evil: She remains as excited and chipper as ever, even as she attempts to turn her fellow talents into dishes. It's this trope and not its counterpart because she seems to be genuinely deranged enough to have no conception that what she's doing is wrong in any way.
- Ambiguously Human: Haachama seems human (albeit one with a serious dissociative disorder), but the fact that she can set up a Battle in the Center of the Mind whenever she pleases and without actually being physically present suggests that may not be the case.
- Frying Pan of Doom: Holds one in her right hand as a reminder of her intentions for the main characters.
- Unsportsmanlike Gloating: Will talk after the player loses one of her songs, sometimes to taunt them in this fashion.Haachama: Ha ha! What a degenerate!
- Wild Card: Her declining psyche has given her less qualms about what she'll do for fun; case-in-point, she's willing to butcher her kouhais for the sake of a meal.
Inugami Korone
One of Okayu's genmates in Hololive GAMERS and the owner of the game Aloe/Fubuki and Nene/Mio play in Week 6, who tries to kill them out of rage after her Switch is overheated and destroyed by the pair.
- Berserk Button: Aloe/Fubuki destroying her Switch ends up enraging her bad enough to take a chainsaw to her own coworkers.
- Big "WHAT?!": Screams one out partway through "D.O.O.G.".
- Chainsaw Good: Wields the 'D.O.O.G.S.A.W.', a massive chainsaw with its name plastered on the side, throughout her song, which she uses to attack Aloe/Fubuki mid-song.
- Disproportionate Retribution: While she has reason to be upset about losing both her Switch and progress in her game, it doesn't justify attempting to kill her fellow idols with a giant chainsaw.note
- Mood-Swinger: She goes directly from rage-driven insanity to her usual cheerful self the instant Okayu walks into the room in the end-of-week cutscene.
The Groundskeeper (freeplay spoilers)
The last foe faced in 5.0 is the Pint-Sized Powerhouse necromancer Uruha Rushia. It's revealed she's the groundskeeper of a grotto that has some sacred purpose, which makes the punishment for intrusion quite severe.
Aloe/Fubuki and Nene/Mio learn this the hard way when they head out there to practice singing, thinking they're alone. Unfortunately, Rushia shows them up and demonstrates that in this world, her infamous screaming isn't just for show.
Aloe/Fubuki and Nene/Mio learn this the hard way when they head out there to practice singing, thinking they're alone. Unfortunately, Rushia shows them up and demonstrates that in this world, her infamous screaming isn't just for show.
- Berserk Button: She really does not like people intruding on her sacred grounds.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Not only does the screen shake whenever she loudly sings, playing in window mode showcases the whole thing shaking throughout much of the song.
- Early-Bird Cameo: A variant; she wasn't that big of a presence in the early versions lore-wise, only her infamous Fall Guys scream is audibly heard whenever the train in Week 3 passes by as early as 3.0, with later versions taking that out by default. note
- Magic Staff: Her microphone is set on a long stick with a gem on the opposite end that evokes this trope, fitting for a necromancer.
- Mirror Boss: Much like Tabi, Rushia can, and will, push back against you, so anything short of your best will not be enough. In addition, unlike most of the bosses, she is not any taller than Aloe, emphasizing the "mirror" aspect.
- Optional Boss: Her song is unlocked after clearing Week 5, but has little connection to the main plot aside from the implication that her meeting takes place right after that week.
- Rotten Rock & Roll: Rushia isn't evil per se, but this version of her is more willing to resort to violence on her coworkers. Aloe/Fubuki eventually manages to negotiate it down to a rap battle over "Killer Scream," a heavy metal piece that additionally leitmotifs "Madness," a song for another character known for screaming their head off.
- Shout-Out: Her animations when hitting attack notes evoke the visuals of fellow modded Friday Night Funkin' metalist Sunday.
- Superboss: And boy, is she ever. Since she can push Aloe back, especially with her death metal screams, anything short of a near-perfect performance against her will result in Aloe's untimely end. The difficulty of her song is even labelled "DEATH".
- Super-Scream: Rushia's side includes attack notes that crack her voice into a louder scream and chips away a portion of the player's health, in addition to violently shaking the screen.
Mumei Nanashi
The Guardian of Civilization. First encountered in 6.5.0, disguised as Gura during the mod's recreation of King Kman's Hololive-themed animation
of "Challeng-EDD (END Mix)."
of "Challeng-EDD (END Mix)."- Art Shift: Drawn to match the original video by King Kman, rather than adopting the style of any other artist on the team.
- Walking Spoiler: Placed under the spoiler category since elaborating on where she appears in-game spoils The Stinger of Kman's animation.
Others
Ninomae Ina'nis
- A-Cup Angst: After Aloe remarks that the Santa outfit given to her is a little tight around her bust, Ina remarks with a dejected look that said outfit was specifically designed around her dimensions. After Aloe attempts to backtrack does Ina ask to move past the size issue.
- Ascended Extra: Went from being held at gunpoint in Week 5 during Takamori's songs, to having her own disconnected but official week.
- Mistaken Identity: Calli ends up believing that Ina was really Santa Claus due to her costume and gets held at gunpoint as a result.
- No-Sell: Why she isn't subject to what Aloe and Nene experience in the "Haachama Dimension," due to the Ancient Ones' protecting her from Haachamas influence while having no knowledge about it.
- Spared by the Adaptation: While she is the mod's stand-in for Week 5's Mall Santa, she does not suffer the same gruesome fate as he does, with the head decorating the Christmas tree being replaced with that of Akai Haato's.
Kanata Amane
Owner of the paradoxically strong grip.
- Delivery Guy Infiltration: A variant; Kanata runs "hologrub," a Bland-Name Product of Grubhub's delivery service which is actually a front for trafficking operations.
- Loafing in Full Costume: Is never seen without at least some part of the hologrub uniform.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Seems to retain all of her various chops from original "canon" while being drawn in the Super-Deformed artstyle used for shorter characters.
Extras
Boyfriend
The original Friday Night Funkin' protagonist, now in an angelic flavor and carrying an obsession for hololive. He's a third option for the Player Character, but needs to be unlocked by using him to defeat Aloe or Fubuki in "Test."
For tropes exclusive to his previous incarnation, see Kenji Tensei's folder.
For tropes exclusive to his previous incarnation, see Kenji Tensei's folder.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: Compared to Kenji, his regular outfit has more visual noise, and his wings are large enough to have to fold up. Unfurled, they reveal a blue luster neither Kenji nor Kanata has.
- Adaptational Gender Identity: Female-to-male transgender instead of a cisgender male.
- The Artifact: Takes his angel physiology and most of his outfit from Kenji, but without the story relevance it previously carried. His idolization of Kanata is also a holdover from when he used to be her cousin.
- Audience Surrogate: Defied — he has a girlfriend.
- Fictional Fan, Real Celebrity: Obsessed with Kanata to the point of using red superchats to tell her about himself.
- Gold Digger: Downplayed in that his love for Girlfriend is still genuine and probably doesn't know any better otherwise, but it's mentioned he often uses her family's wealth to surround himself with lots of hololive merchandise.
- No Name Given: Defaults to canon, unlike Kenji. His designer has suggested the names "Kanji" and "Cyan" for him, however.
- No Social Skills: Concept art shows him trying to confess part of his identity through a red superchat (to which she responds "that's cool, but who are you?"), and the closest we have to an official explanation for why he even exists post-5.0.0 is that his default response to meeting the talents in person is to break into song.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: What his appearance in the game amounts to, having no story importance besides a reminder that it's is still derived from FNF.
Girlfriend
What's the boy in blue without the demonic love of his life to back him up?
For tropes exclusive to Girlfriend's previous incarnation, see Hana Kurayami's folder.
For tropes exclusive to Girlfriend's previous incarnation, see Hana Kurayami's folder.
- Adaptational Gender Identity: Male-to-female transgender instead of a cisgender female.
- The Artifact: Her outfit and shades are taken from Hana's design, but no longer carry the Gundam connotations they once possessed.
- Art Shift: Takes elements from both RadioactShark's unique jagged art style and the original FNF art style, courtesy of being co-designed by RedstyPhoenix.
- Hard Light: Has manifestation powers akin to this that resemble the crystals on her head, but this is Girlfriend we're talking about, so it sees little use. Not for anything important, at least.
- No Name Given: Also defaults to canon unlike Hana, though her designer has suggested the name "Crystal."
