History Characters / AnimatorVsAnimationMainCharacters

* ArchEnemy: Subverted, interestingly enough. Despite some of his friends having some kind of unique enemy (The Animator and the Chosen One [formerly], Green and Purple [also formerly], Red and his not-enemy Herobrine, Blue and the Witch), TheHero of the series himself has no truly personal, "greatest" enemy. While he has some sort of connections with the series' three biggest villains - The Dark Lord, King Orange and the Boss - none of them really hit the bill. [[spoiler:The Dark Lord ''could've'' become this, given how he killed the Fighting Stick Figures and was the most dangerous threat so far, but he is taken care of so quickly - and the Second Coming knows him so little - that not even he fits. It also doesn't help he is presented as ''the Chosen One's'' archenemy.]]

* ButtMonkey: Despite being TheAce, he's this in the ''An Actual Short'' series. He keeps getting beat up by Bob in his two episodes, is pecked by a paper crane in "Enchanted Origami", crashes into a tree in "Carrot on a Stick", gets slammed by Blue's cauldron in "Bottle Flip", gets ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext literally]]'' verbally assaulted by Second Coming in "Music Lesson", shot by Yellow in "Gunslinger", is roasted alive in "Pork", gets eaten by the chest "It's Alive!", [[OverlyLongGag so on and so forth]]. This has gotten to a point where Green starts training himself to avoid more punishment, as shown when he is able to [[NonchalantDodge casually avoid]] Red's [[PieInTheFace cake pranks]] and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard deflect them]] back at his friend. He even once protected himself with ''[[CrazyPrepared barrier blocks]]'' while sleeping.

!!!'''Debut:''' ''Animator vs. Animation IV''

** They are seemingly deleted by the Animator during ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', only to come back when he refreshes the page they came from.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Because of their limited screentime, they don't really have unique personalities in ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', but the following videos give them distinct character traits with Red being an animal lover, Yellow being good at engineering and coding, Blue loving gardening, potion and food-making (and having a bad Nether wart addiction), and Green being the best architect and musician.

** The Second Coming simply makes a house for himself, showing his unwillingness to go on adventures and preference to staying home. Additionally, in ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', after defeating Alan's cursor, he goes on to create drawings and befriends them, showcasinge TSC's trait of being the ArtAttacker and just simply wanting to have friends.

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: For unknown reasons, they look exactly like Purple and King Orange, despite the two not coming from the fighting animation. This would be later explained in "The King" and ''Animator vs. Animation VI'', which shows that the majority of the Internet's stick figures happen to have that specific design, and it's rare for a stick figure to look different.

* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: [[spoiler:None of them know anything about King Orange and thus have no personal beef with him besides "the guy who we need to stop". By comparison, they - especially Green - have a more personal relationship with Purple due to him [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder constantly betraying them]]. Tellingly, they actually have an easier time forgiving ''King Orange'' than Purple in 'The King", accepting the former's apology but needing Red's pig to confirm the latter is a friend]].

* TookALevelInBadass: Throughout the ''[=AvM=]'' Shorts, they gradually get more and more skilled with Minecraft.

The Second Coming possesses [[AmbiguousSituation unknown connections]] to the Chosen One: Task Manager states he is "the Chosen One's Return", though ''Animator vs. Animation V'' contradicts it by revealing the Chosen One is alive and well. For what it's worth, he's rarely even referred to by his name: WordOfGod tends to call him "Orange", an AscendedFanNickname that eventually crossed to the series itself[[note]]At the end of "Ultimate Minecart Race", you can briefly see the command block's text call him "Orange" when Yellow uses it on him.[[/note]].\\

* ArtifactName: His name, "The Second Coming", was originally meant to indicate that he was some kind of reincarnation of the Chosen One. There's even a moment in ''Animator vs Animation IV'' where he glitches into the Chosen One's appearance for a split second. However, in ''Animator vs. Animation V'', we learn that the Chosen One was alive all along and he and the Second Coming doesn't seem to know each other nor do they seem to be related in any way, meaning that the name of the Second Coming has lost its meaning. Fittingly enough, he's mostly known as Orange npw.

* BadassAndChildDuo: Subverted. [[spoiler:The Chosen One seemingly tried to form one with the Second Coming in ''Animator vs. Animation VI'' to battle the Mercenaries, but it quickly becomes clear the "duo" was just TCO watching as TSC curb-stomps the mercs, not realising the latter can't naturally access his superpowers. The Second Coming is forced to defend the Chosen One using other means, which ultimately fails]].

* CharacterDevelopment: After the Stick Gang's incident with the different worlds explored through the Nether Portals in Season 1, the Second Coming wanted nothing more than to avoid leaving Alan's PC at any cost and was heavily disappointed when Blue's quest for nether wart forced him and the others to leave home once again to find him. In "Lush Caves", however, he realizes that if he never left Alan's PC, he would've never discovered the amazing worlds that existed outside and became more willing to explore.

* {{Determinator}}: In IV when Alan attempts to end TSC using task manager: [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu "This action cannot be completed because the program is too resistant."]]

* DigitalAbomination: Even by [[LovecraftLite stick figure]] standards, the Second Coming is... ''off.'' He comes into existence by himself with no invitation[[note]]The only other characters to do this are the Kickstarter Stick (who's non-canon) and Hangman (who's a one-off gag character)[[/note]], knows that there is a world outside the PC unlike everyone else (though other characters do eventually recognize there's someone on the other side of the computer screen, the Second Coming is the first one to acknowledge this, and he knew it since creation), is seemingly unkillable despite being a mere BadassNormal, has some weird connections to the Chosen One, [[spoiler:and possesses an extremely powerful SuperMode that gives him amnesia each time he uses it]]. A FreezeFrameBonus from ''[=AvA=] V'' makes him ''even weirder'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AlanBecker/comments/18lfu4y/i_rewatched_ava_5_the_showdown_recently_and/ as the "StickData" text that appears when the Animator enters the Outernet]] gives him the unusual name "[=orj-ver.2ndComing=]", while everyone has shortened versions of their name (excluding Red, who's name is already very short).
* DistressedDude: Has to be saved by Red from King Orange in "Monster School". [[spoiler:He's also arrested in ''VI'', with the Fighting Stick Figures trying to save him]].

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: The Second Coming had slightly larger proportions in his debut in ''IV'', especially when standing next to the Fighting Stick Figures in which he was shown to be taller than them. He gradually got shrunk down to the point he now stands at the same height as the rest of his friends, with his body proportions scaled down but his head staying about the same size.

* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: In their debut, the Second Coming displays the ability to spontaneously create text when the Animator boxes them in. This trait was generally left to be forgotten as the series favored a dialogue-less SilenceIsGolden approach, excluding a brief moment at the beginning of ''V'', but "Music Lesson" remembers Second Coming's text creation ability when he attempts to sing with Green.

* NonIndicativeName: A rare case of overlap with MeaningfulName above; with the original Chosen One revealed to have survived the events of ''III'' in ''V'', the Second Coming's name and status as "The Chosen One's Return" is very much not literal, despite the origins of his character in ''IV''. [[spoiler: Nonetheless, he has managed to inherit the legacy of both of Alan's previous stick figures debuting in ''I'' and ''II'', only with far greater power behind both their defining traits, namely victim's ingenuity and Chosen One's FlyingBrick powers.]]

* {{Reincarnation}}: Implied to be one of the Chosen One, as Task Manager calls it "The Chosen One's return". [[spoiler:Subverted when the Chosen One returns in ''[=AvA=] V'']].
* {{Retcon}}: He was originally meant to be a reincarnation of the Chosen One, but ''Animator vs. Animation V'' has the Chosen One come back.

** [[spoiler:He goes on a brief one against the Dark Lord in ''Animator vs. Animation V'' after seeing his friends killed, gaining [[EleventhHourSuperpower 11th-Hour Superpowers]] in the process.]]

** When he loses his temper in ''IV'', he blinks in and out with the Chosen One's appearance. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness This never happens again]].

* TheAce: His defining character trait as of ''vs. Minecraft''. Not only is Green a skilled artist and musician, but he's also one of the best fighters of the gang[[note]]Alan Becker even called him the best of the Fighting Stick Figures on the commentary for ''[=AvA=] IV'', which would mean Green's second only to the Second Coming himself[[/note]] and his Redstone knowledge is on par with Yellow's. Hell, he once even made a better robot than Yellow's, causing the latter stick figure to collapse in shame. He's also shown to be incredibly good at dodging. That said, there are just a few fields that he's less skilled at than his peers, which would make him closer to a JackOfAllTrades.

** He's probably the closest friend to Second Coming. In ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', he is the first to greet and welcome Second Coming then runs to hug him before he disappeared as the last stick figure, and he gives him a friendly hug in the epilogue before they have a sparing match. In ''vs. Minecraft'', in addition to being the second stick figure to interact with the Minecraft block, he also personally helps to pull Second Coming away from being killed despite his own injuries and near defeat at the hands of a possessed Red. In ''vs. [=YouTube=]'', he helps Second Coming defeat [=YouTube=] itself. In the [=SkyBlock=] arc of the ''[=AvM=]'' shorts, he's also the one who misses Second Coming the most. Right before reuniting with him in The Dolphin Kingdom video, Green makes it known to the others that he misses him as he is looking at a picture of them all. And as soon as they do get back together, he's the first to hug Second Coming. Needless to say, while the group as a whole is close, Green is extremely close to Second Coming.

* LancerVsDragon: [[spoiler:Green's character arc in Season 3 revolves around Purple, TheDragon of [[ArcVillain King Orange]], and trying to find out what his motivations are. As a result, [[ArchEnemy they have the most personal relationship]] and get into a brief fight in "Parkour"]].

* RunningGag: Almost every time he wins a build contest, [[SoreLoser someone tries to throw TNT at it]]. He's gotten used to it by Season 2.

* TookALevelInBadass: When he first debuted in ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', he was the one whose ass got kicked the most. In later videos, he's shown to be the most skilled out of the stick figures, even surprassing Yellow's engineer skills once. Even [[WordOfGod Alan Becker himself]] states that while he ''used'' to suck, he's now the second strongest of the Stick Gang, besides only the Second Coming himself.

** Taken to its extreme in Season 3, where ''the entire season'' starts with Blue losing his crap at lacking nether wart and gunning to the Nether to get some, causing a massive ButterflyEffect that results in [[spoiler:King Orange almost succeeding in destroying the entirety of ''Minecraft'']].

* LongRangeFighter: In contrast with the rest of the team, he prefers bows and crossbows in combat. Fittingly, the Second Coming equips Blue with a pair of pistols in ''Animator vs. Animation VI'' during their playfight against the Animator.

* AesopAmnesia: Demonstrates this in the Actual Short "It's Alive!", where he apparently forgets the events of "Command Blocks" and decides it'd be a great idea to give life to such a block. The only reason that this doesn't end in disaster is because his friends remember those events all too well and are quick to stop him. In general, Yellow's entire obssession with King Orange's command block in Season 3 can be called a big case of this, as he's determined to get it while apparently not remembering what happened the last time he used one.

* BeyondRedemption: Despite the Stick Gang being a forgiving bunch, Yellow seemingly thought Purple was beyond saving after one betrayal too much, trying to stop Green from chasing after him. [[spoiler:He changes his mind in the Season 3 finale]].

* DontYouDarePityMe: In ''VI'', he punches Yellow in the shoulder for trying to check up on him after their playfight with the Animator.

* NiceGuy: He loves animals and he's a good friend--notably, he's the first person to wave to the Second Coming when the team's revived in ''IV''. He also waves back at the armor stand waiving at him in "Command Blocks", [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight interacting with it like it was just another stick figure]].

* UsedToBeASweetKid: During his rampage in ''vs. Minecraft'', the Second Coming flashes back to Red playing with the emojis to make them feel better during ''IV''. That said, he ''was'' NotHimself in that scene due to Herobrine possessing him.

!!!'''Debut:''' ''Animator vs. Animation''

* AbusiveParents: His creations can be technically called his children, and it's implied ''at least'' the Chosen One sees him as some sort of parent figure (given how he saved Alan because he made him who he is in the first place). And before his redemption in ''IV'', he was ''horrible'' to his creations, having [[spoiler:apparently]] killed victim, tortured and enslaved the Chosen One, left the Dark Lord to die and tried to kill the Second Coming. While he ultimately gets better in the future, [[spoiler:it's shown victim doesn't care and still wants revenge on his creator]].

* ArchEnemy: The Chosen One's first ever arch-enemy. The Animator has enslaved the Chosen One for four years, has made the stick figure with the sole purpose of killing him, and the Chosen One later destroyed his first computer. [[spoiler:They forgive each other in ''Animator vs. Animation V'': The Chosen One decides to save him from the [=ViraBot=] after remembering Alan is the one who gave life to him, and the Animator forgives his creation after the virus is killed]].
* ArcVillain: Of the ''original series'' composing of the first four installments. After his HeelFaceTurn in ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', he becomes the BigGood.

* TheArtifact: Since Alan is no longer antagonistic to his stick figures (which was a key element of what started the series), he has a much a smaller role but still remains as a supporting character to the main cast, [[ArtifactTitle making the franchise's title irrelevant]] (though he ''does'' battle [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] in ''[=AvA=] V'' and has a brief playfight with the Stick Gang in ''[=AvA=] VI'', proving it's not completely null).

* TheBerserker: He is very aggressive against the Second Coming, [=ViraBot=] and [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] in ''V''. Curiously, he never acts the same before or afterwards, thinking and being more creative instead of just charging into battle.

* ButtMonkey: He tends to be the ultimate victim throughout the series; everyone else shrugs off their injuries, but the things that happen to him tend to be less inconsequential. ''Animator vs. Animation III'' ends with his computer [[UsefulNotes/BlueScreenOfDeath crashing]]. ''IV'' reveals that the computer was unusable because of a fried motherboard after the Chosen One and Dark Lord thrashed it, and has him scrambling to stop burned bridges when Second Coming vandalizes his Facebook page. Malware gets installed into his computer in ''V'', and when the other stick figures go on their adventure in ''VI'', the Animator is left blankly staring at the burning wreck that the Chosen One left his animation software in. In the videos to promote [=TeamTrees and TeamSeas=], the stick figures make a bank-breakingly large donation in his name ($5100 dollars and ''$18,547,800'' dollars, respectively). Finally, several ''Actual Shorts'' have him suffer due to the Stick Gang's incompetence, whether it is him losing his family photos or being interrupted while working.

* CommutingOnABus: After ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', he basically dissappeared from the series until ''[=AvA=] V'' and ''VI'', where he is overshadowed by the stick figures. Besides this, he appears only as quick cameos in ''vs. League of Legends'' and ''vs. Pokemon'', and is a semi-recurring character in the ''An Actual Short'' series.

* TheFaceless: In-universe, we only ever see his hands--drawing, typing, picking up keys and laundry or just the back of his head, but not his face. Before the events of ''IV'', he was only represented by his cursor never showing his real life appearance. We do get a glimpse of his face in the ''Actual Short'' "New Wallpaper", [[DownplayedTrope but it's out of focus]]. Averted in the short "Feel Better" where it's the first ever episode we see the Animator's face in-universe. (Out of universe, Alan talked directly to the camera in several outros, though even that eventually stopped.)
* FatalFlaw: His LackOfEmpathy [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman towards stick figures]], which continues biting him in the ass years after he moves past this. The reason the Chosen One managed to convince the Dark Lord to turn against him is because of his apathy to the fact his creation is about to get killed. Also, in ''IV'', he mercilessly ends the Second Coming's friends and tries to end him as well despite the fact they weren't doing any real damage to the computer (through this might be justified as he feared that they will destroy his computer as well when they go on a rampage. Then again, it's a SelfFulfillingProphecy, as if he didn't end his friends, the Second Coming wouldn't try to destroy his computer). The Second Coming even has to spell out that the reason he's upset is because the Animator deleted his friends. [[spoiler:All of ''Animator vs. Animation VI'' is happening because of how he mistreated victim, his original creation]].
* GodOfGood: Initially starting off as an EvilGod, he becomes much more benevolent towards his own digital inhabitants after resurrecting the Second Coming's friends at the end of ''Animator vs. Animation IV''. Alan Becker has complete control over his computer where it is its [[CyberSpace own world]] inhabited by many sentient beings like his stick figures whom he allows them to have free autonomy in his own computer and is permissive to let them travel between his own gadgets like his phone and gaming consoles.
* HeelFaceTurn: While he creates stick figures just to fight for fun in the first videos, by ''IV'', he's made peace with his newest stick figure adversary.

* LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler:Near the end of ''Animator vs. Animation V'', his first reaction upon seeing ''dozens of [=ViraBots=]'' is to charge at the Dark Lord with the intentions of continuing the asskicking. It doesn't end well for his cursor.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Not in the original trilogy, where he sadistically tortures the stick figures because he doesn't consider them a serious threat, but in ''IV'', the very second he recovers from the OhCrap of seeing the stick figure (as well as the others on his computer) rummaging about, he force boots [[NoKillLikeOverkill Task Manager]]. Also, when the Second Coming tries to fight him, he uses the most direct means of disposal possible (select all + delete) when in the animation program. In ''V'', he's using very direct ways of fighting [=ViraBot=] and [[spoiler:wastes no time fighting the Dark Lord]]. Suffice to say, the Animator is determined to make sure he never has to go through the events of ''[=AvA III=]'' again.
* NoSell: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. [[spoiler:The upgraded cursor created by Yellow in the second half of ''V'' is resistant to the Dark Lord's virus-based attacks, but even ''that'' has its limits: the combination of several of TDL's blades and every [=ViraBot=] combined manages to erase the cursor and crash the Animator Combat Tool.]]

* OutOfFocus: After ''Animator vs. Animation IV'', he has a much smaller role with the Stick Gang taking the spotlight.

* RapidFireTyping: Besides [[TechnoWizard Yellow]], Alan is very skilled and quick with typing with a keyboard, as showcased in ''IV'' when he designed a stronger customized cursor without ever using his mouse after the Second Coming destroys his cursor. In ''III'', he was able to create an ASCII version of a pistol in just a short timeframe of approximately 10 seconds.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Has evolved into this by the end of ''IV''. He gives the Second Coming and his friends free rein to use his computer, letting them play ''Minecraft'' and surf the web, in exchange for the Second Coming's advice on animation and not trashing everything beyond repair.
* SuddenlyVoiced: He starts talking and makes an appearance in ''IV'' as his "appearances" before were just his cursor and typing up words.

* TerribleArtist: When he started animating, the best he could animate were stick figures with his fourth stick figure, the Second Coming, being a better artist than him. This is eventually addressed in ''IV'' when the Second Coming teaches him how to draw and animate.
* UnexplainedRecovery: At the beginning of ''Animator vs. Animation V'', [=ViraBot=] destroys his cursor and then shreds the Start menu to prevent him from summoning a new one. When the scene cuts back to him in the second half, he's somehow managed to re-summon his cursor and is dragging the wreckage into the Recycle Bin, indicating that he didn't reboot his computer.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Implicitly and wordlessly so in ''Animator vs. Animation VI'': after knocking over all the stick figures in a single blow, he flauntingly floats his cursor in a figure eight above them.

!!!'''Debut:''' ''Animator vs. Animation II''

* AchillesHeel: He can take on single opponents no problem, but the few times he's been overpowered were when he was made to fight [[ZergRush several enemies at once]]. See the desktop icons in ''III'', the [=ViraBots=] in ''V'' and the Mercenaries in ''VI''.

* ApeShallNeverKillApe: Implied, given how his HeelRealization starts when [[spoiler:seeing the Dark Lord killing fellow stick figures]] and that his ImagineSpot, which causes him to try and stop the Dark Lord, has him [[spoiler:killing stick figures]]. Even during ''III'', the Chosen One spares the Dark Lord so they could defeat the Animator, despite him trying to kill him throughout the entire episode. Even in ''VI'', where he's running for his life from the Mercenaries, he never uses any lethal moves and tries to escape them. That said, this rule ''does'' have his limits and he will try to kill a stick figure if he deems it necessary: [[spoiler:He tries to kill the Dark Lord to stop him from causing worldwide destruction, and victim [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]] him eventually makes the Chosen One snap, slaughter all of his clones and try to burn him alive with his fireballs]].

* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:He ends up captured in ''Animator vs. Animation VI'', by the Mercenaries on victim's orders, so he could tell him where the Animator is]].

* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:At the receiving end of this in ''Animator vs. Animation VI'', from victim.]]

* {{Determinator}}: In ''VI'', the Chosen One gives his all against [[spoiler:victim despite the latter having a HomeFieldAdvantage that can disable the Chosen One's powers and power himself up. Even when the Chosen One is too injured to fight back, he refuses to tell victim anything about the Animator. When a device is attached to the Chosen One's head to show his memories, he tries to stop it by banging his head on the ground.]]

* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Spends all of ''VI'' as one, being either chased, arrested or tortured by victim and the mercs]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Ultimately redeems himself in ''V'', trying to defeat the [=ViraBot=] and the Dark Lord.

* IdenticalStranger: He has the exact same appearance as victim, but they are separate characters with different powers and personalities. The Animator ''did'' consider naming him victim as well before changing his mind, but he didn't change his appearance. [[spoiler:Subverted once victim returns in ''VI'', having been repainted gray]].

* NoSocialSkills: Implied, given his... very bad attempts at explaining what he means to the Second Coming near the beginning of ''VI''.
* NotSoAboveItAll: ''VI'' showcases he's not above acting as silly as the Stick Gang themselves, such as his goofy body language once he tells TSC he needs his help, or his attempts at hyping up TSC when he's send out to fight the mercs.

* PoseOfSupplication: Gives one to [[spoiler:the Second Coming]] at the end of ''V'', [[spoiler:out of respect for his ability to defeat the Dark Lord, whereas he could not.]]

* ShockAndAwe: Was able to summon a thundercloud complete with lightning in ''II''. He also uses lightning to finish [=ViraBot=] off in ''[=AvA=] V''.

** After spending the entirety of ''II'' a OneManArmy, he is effortlessly defeated by Avast! Antivirus.
** Downplayed throughout '''III'', but still evidently there, as he briefly gets his ass kicked by ''Clippy'' before struggling with normal desktop icons.
** In ''V'', he fights the Dark Lord evenly in prolonged combat, but is eventually overwhelmed by [[spoiler:the Dark Lord's [=ViraBot=] army, leaving the Second Coming as the final hope of defeating the Dark Lord. And even before that, he was quite clearly getting worfed thanks to the Dark Lord's wristbands.]].
** Receives an off-screen asskicking that results in him running away from the Mercenaries at the beginning of ''VI''.
* WorfHadTheFlu: In ''VI'', his losing fight and subsequent interrogation from [[spoiler:victim]] was only possible due to the fact that [[spoiler:he was confined in the Box, causing his powers to be seized and sometimes backfire against him. Not to mention, victim was also heavily buffed while the Chosen One was fresh off his fight with the Mercenaries while also being weakened himself, making the whole ordeal a massive disadvantage to him]].

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: "Note Block Battle" reveals he's the best musician of the Stick Gang, even more than Green himself. He just doesn't bother using it.
* ArchEnemy: Subverted, curiously enough. Despite some of his friends having some kind of unique enemy (The Animator and the Chosen One [formerly], Green and Purple [also formerly], Red and his not-enemy Herobrine, Blue and the Witch), TheHero of the series himself has no truly personal, "greatest" enemy. While he has some sort of connections with the series' three biggest villains - The Dark Lord, King Orange and the Boss - none of them really hit the bill. [[spoiler:The Dark Lord ''could've'' become this, given how he killed the Fighting Stick Figures and was the most dangerous threat so far, but he is taken care of so quickly - and the Second Coming knows him so little - that not even he fits. It also doesn't help he is presented as ''the Chosen One's'' archenemy.]]

* VibrantOrange: He's orange in color and like his friends, he's incredibly enthusiastic and exciteful about many things as well as being sociable and full of tenacity.

[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/green_render_0.png]]

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Often presented as this to the other stick figures to make it clear he's TheAce.

* KiddieKid: While the entire Stick Gang is around the ages of 10-13, Red ticks all the boxes of the typical characterization of the youngest member of a group of heroes: He's impulsive, short-sighted, hot-blooded, more emotional, too curious for his own good (as seen in "Lucky Block Staff" where the Stick Gang didn't want to test out the titular block on Yellow's staff, remembering what happened the last time they misused the block, but Red took the staff to test it out himself, which lead to disastrous results), and inexperienced in various fields compared to the rest of his friends. In "Power Outage", he can be seen jumping on the couch like a five-year-old. Also whenever he's in danger, the rest of the Stick Gang [[TheHeart notably work extra hard to get him out of trouble]] compared to when any of the other members are in danger.

* PapaWolf: The Animator's reaction to Green and Red accidentally destroying ''photos'' of his family? Changing his cursor into a hand and trying to kick their asses.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Has no issues wreaking havoc throughout the Internet alongside the Dark Lord for a while, but as the Dark Lord begins harming other stick figures and the like, the Chosen One starts having second thoughts. When the Dark Lord creates [=ViraBot=], the Chosen One decides he's gone too far. Even when he sees that it was shot at Alan's computer and remembers how Alan treated him, the Chosen One still decides to chase after [=ViraBot=].]]

[[caption-width-right:409:''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge You ended my friends]]. [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Now I will]] [[BadassBoast end you]].'']]
TheHero of the series, he is an orange stick figure created by the Animator. He rebelled against his creator and managed to avoid his deletion after the latter wiped his friends out, but made peace with him when the latter revived his friends, becoming TrueCompanions.\\

Not to be confused with [[Characters/AnimatorVsAnimationAdversaries the other stick figure named King Orange]].

* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: In their debut, the Second Coming displays the ability to spontaneously create text when the Animator boxes them in. This trait was generally left to be forgotten as the series favored a dialogue-less SilenceIsGolden approach, but "Music Lesson" remembers Second Coming's text creation ability when he attempts to sing with Green.

* NonindicativeName: A rare case of overlap with MeaningfulName above; with the original Chosen One revealed to have survived the events of ''III'' in ''V'', the Second Coming's name and status as "The Chosen One's Return" is very much not literal, despite the origins of his character in ''IV''. [[spoiler: Nonetheless, he has managed to inherit the legacy of both of Alan's previous stick figures debuting in ''I'' and ''II'', only with far greater power behind both their defining traits, namely victim's ingenuity and Chosen One's FlyingBrick powers.]]

* AuthorAvatar: The fictionalized version of the series' creator Alan Becker. The in-universe Animator outright has the same name as his real-life self, and Noogai ''is'' Alan's username on Newgrounds in real life .

* AchillesHeel: He can take on single opponents no problem, but the few times he's been overpowered were when he was made to fight [[ZergRush several enemies at once]]. See the desktop icons in ''III'', [[spoiler: the [=ViraBots=]]] in ''V'' and the Mercenaries in ''VI''.

* CainAndAbel: The Chosen One and the Dark Lord are more or less brothers due to having the same "father"; they immediately try to kill each other upon meeting, [[spoiler:and eventually go back to this after years of falling out]].

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:He escaped off-screen during the destruction of Alan's old PC by jumping into the internet itself]], showing how he returned to stop [=ViraBot=].

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He fell out with [[spoiler:the Dark Lord]] when he realized that [[spoiler:he is ''[[OmnicidalManiac absolutely demented]].]]'' When he discovers [[spoiler:him making the [=ViraBot=]]], he is quick to try and stop him.

* NonchalantDodge: In the episode "The Prank", Green is able to casually evade the many cakes Red attempts throwing multiple pranks

* InstantExpert: There are few things they don't" immediately master.

* TheAce: His defining character trait as of ''vs. Minecraft''. Not only is Green a skilled artist and musician, but he's also one of the best fighters of the gang and his Redstone knowledge is on par with Yellow's. Hell, he once even made a better robot than Yellow's, causing the latter stick figure to collapse in shame. That said, there are just a few fields that he's less skilled at than his peers, which would make him closer to a JackOfAllTrades.

* ButtMonkey: Despite being TheAce, he's this in the ''An Actual Short'' series. He keeps getting beat up by Bob in his two episodes, is pecked by a paper crane in "Enchanted Origami", crashes into a tree in "Carrot on a Stick", gets slammed by Blue's cauldron in "Bottle Flip", gets ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext literally]]'' verbally assaulted by Second Coming in "Music Lesson", shot by Yellow in "Gunslinger", is roasted alive in "Pork", gets eaten by the chest "It's Alive!", [[OverlyLongGag so on and so forth]]. This has gotten to a point where Green is able to [[NonchalantDodge casually avoid]] Red's [[PieInTheFace cake pranks]] and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard deflect them]] back at his friend. He even once protected himself with ''[[CrazyPrepared barrier blocks]]'' while sleeping.

* ThePrankster: Red has pranked his friends on a few occasions such as scaring his friends with a creeper costume or throwing cakes at their faces.
