Characters / Pwnage

The two main guys.

Damian Sanders

The short-tempered optimist of the duo. Damian plays up his eccentricities and goofball-sy nature on the channel, which makes Kyle more irritated than ever.

---

• Small Name, Big Ego: One of the fun things about watching Pwnage is Damian talking himself up to be the best, usually in reference to whatever game they're playing, leading to Tempting Fate.
• Cloudcuckoo Lander: His defining trait. Damian's thinking, explanations, or ideas can be bizarre and absurd.
  • This threat that Damian blurted out towards Toy Chica from their Five Nights at Freddy's 2 video.
    Damian: I'M GONNA MAKE ROBOT CHICKEN NUGGETS OUT OF YOU!
  • This small bit from Five Nights at Freddy's 3 - SCARIEST OF ALL:
    Kyle: Can you describe the face you're making?
    Damian: I look like... a frog who's having sex~
• The Ditz: Damian plays this up for laughs; this is also Kyle's main target when it comes to insulting Damian.
• Foil: Kyle's snarky and harshness really highlights how optimistic and silly Damian is.
• Manchild: Played up by Damian.
• Nice Guy: Compared to Kyle, he is a ray of sunshine.
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: He has his moments where he refuses to have doubts or see things going downhill. Their Spongebob Slenderpants video is a case where Damian believes that Spongebob and him were just playing, until he inevitably is killed by Spongebob.

Kyle Addams

The dreadfully snarky cynic of the duo. Kyle plays as the Straight Man or the Only Sane Man to Damian's Cloudcuckoo Lander personality.

---

• Accentuate the Negative: He is able to see plenty of negatives in a lot of things.
• Break the Haughty: More downplayed, Kyle can get a bit ahead of himself, and then gets beaten by Damian. One of their The Impossible Game videos show that.
• Catchphrase Insult: Whenever Damian prompts something, Kyle is highly likely to say "You're an idiot."
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Their cooperative playthroughs is when Kyle has to make sure Damian stays on track.
• Foil: Damian's optimistic and eccentric personality is harshly contrasted by Kyle's more realistic and snarky one.
• Knight in Sour Armor: Zig-zagged with Kyle, he sometimes says moral things or commits moral actions. Other times, he is amoral or just completely self-serving. In Toy Story Exe, he helped remove a demon that had possessed Damian which demonstrates his vitriolic friendship with Damian.
• No Sympathy: He's all over the place on whether he cares for others or he's apathetic.
  • Inverted as he seems to have sympathy for the animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's 1.
    Kyle: Look, I'm just trying to give the guy a break. Look, they've got a hard job, they've gotta sit and dance all day for like, five year old fuckin' kids who draw them stupidly.
• Not So Above It All: Kyle has moments where he isn't not as sensible or rational as he makes him out to be.
• Self-Deprecation: Kyle not only insults other but also himself. Which adds to his The Snark Knight status.
• The Snark Knight: His defining trait, delivering his non-discriminatory snark with bemusement. However, he isn't above snarking like the standard Deadpan Snarker.
