Move or Die

Although slightly retarded, Buddy is a really sweet fellow. The third family who adopted him proved to be quite loving and embraced him in his all-derpy glory, offering him the chance to finally experience the things he's been longing for all the while, such as tree barking and shadow chasing. He does have a bad habit of chewing electrical wires... which explains the messy, electrified fur.

Mummified by accident after a failed attempt to smuggle out candy won during a Sugar Rush race many years ago, Mums can easily qualify as the unluckiest member of the crew. Will that put him down? Hardly. We're not even sure he's aware that he's a mummy.

Being a fan of stickman animations, Cakey made her life-long goal to get her own pair of tiny little arms. Seeing that she is merely a simple little cupcake, this was no easy task. After several years of adventuring around the world and exploring, she finally came across one of the last remaining stickmans. Cakey promptly ripped out his arms and stuck them on each of her sides.

Watching fireworks, pouring a cup of tea or even crossing the street. These are all rather difficult tasks for Amanam seeing that he has no eyes. We are not really sure if he is legally blind or if he just hides his eyes under his fur so he can pretend to be blind all this time. At least one thing is for sure, he loves food.

After his family was captured and killed by a coffee shop owner, George changed his name so he never forgets what his family became. His goal is to avenge his family and find that coffee shop owner, putting an end to all seasonal drinks traditions in the process once and for all.

Climbing out of the toaster at the very last possible moment, Toasty managed to escape the clutches of his owner's breakfast death. His other friends weren't so fortunate though. Even though he managed to escape, part of his conscience has been lost in the toasting process, rendering him unable to experience pain or depression anymore. He is stuck in an eternal limbo of happiness, even though he isn't able to process what is happening around him.

While he is not an actual pirate, Ronny has always been fascinated by the pirate culture and life style. He is only trying to blend in, that's why he wears the fake eye patch even though he can see perfectly fine with both eyes, as well as the fake hook which is basically just a glove. That being said, we are not sure about the peg leg...

Initially he thought he was the center of attention. He thought he was the highlight of his game but he couldn't explain why he was constantly defeated, after all, he was the final evil boss. One day he stumbled upon the game's script and realized that regardless of what he does, he'll be defeated by the main character every single time. This filled him with rage and made him give up on story based games, focusing his attention towards games where all the characters are equal.

Often criticized for his bad practices of exhibitionism, Peely is definitely not a shy banana. Even though he tends to take things too far every now and then, he has a strict policy of only peeling half way during matches for the sake of decency. He still thinks it's funny to take his clothes off and leave them on the ground in the hopes of somebody slipping on them.

We are still not sure if he was fired or not. He keeps refusing to show us his under side. That is probably because he knows he is supposed to find his target before he or she dies of old age.

Before the accident, this guy here was your average Joe, always concerned by the daily needs and hating his job..to death. Who knew that being undead could actually feel pretty satisfactory? Despite his looks, Zombi is ‘living his life’ to the fullest, at least until his brain falls out.

Even though he started out as a regular everyday demon, Steve worked hard and managed to climb his way up the ranks of hell. After pushing other players around in Falling Blocks and bumping them off platforms in Fizzle Floor, he earned his well deserved rank of -the- Satan. His co-workers never take him seriously though, always poking fun at his height, nicknaming him Tiny Satan.

Several games later, he is still not sure how he ended up in this mess, he is always trying to escape every single round. He remembers flying in through a small crack in the wall, but sadly, there don't seem to be any windows around, so he ends up bumping into bright sources of red light over and over again. Aside from that being one of his favorite activities, he also enjoys plotting evil plans, or at least that what he seems to do with his arms every now and then.

Even though he is well done, Burgie didn't find much success in becoming the mascot for popular restaurants. After many months of trying, he decided that he didn't really wanted that mascot fame to begin with, so he made the decision to get involved with video games. He is still a bit slow and has to adapt, learning new things along the way. That being said, we are all sure that he will manage to ketchup.

Always being the one that gets caught in assassination missions, Lores decided to retire and try something new. He was never good at sneaking around, nor was he handy enough with swords or other weapons. One thing is for sure though, he absolutely adores his outfit. Be it day or night, he wears his shozoku with pride, shuriken and sword on his back included. We don't dare to ask him when was the last time he washed it.

Initially, his horns were straight, but after acquiring a handful of rather shady friends, he got influenced to go to a horn curling parlor and get his horns curled. He is still trying to convince his parents that this is not just a phase. He claims they make him more aerodynamic.

We have no idea how T-Cup stays alive. He seems to run around just fine and he is a happy fellow overall, however we fear that he might die if he stumbles and spills his.. well... tea. We are also not sure if he drinks tea or not, and if that would be considered cannibalism.

Vampires are usually tall and intimidating. Count was never bothered by his appearance though, he is proud of his influence on 80's horror movies and still wears his cape every day. He is only slightly annoyed when friends mock him by mispronouncing his name on purpose.

More or less a ball of fur. She thinks she is superior compared to the other ones because she has 4 legs. Even though she has better nighttime vision than the others, she doesn't always land on her feet. Especially not when she lands on death tiles.

Imagine somebody that doesn't do anything productive all day long. Somebody that either sleeps or eats. Tries to climb trees but most of the time fails, and is overall useless. That is exactly Panda. She is so purposeless that she has the definition of her entire species as her name.

Being one of the last of his kind, also a bit rebellious, he didn't seem to have got the memo that vikings didn't actually have horns on their helmets. He still claims it's a subjective stylistic choice... Others just wish he gets to Valhalla faster.

Having gone through hard times in high-school, several unfortunate events, a failed audition for a movie career and lack of parental love in general, Pootpoot swore to 'never face anyone ever again' ...literally. Legend says that one eye is looking behind while the other one looks forwards. Nobody can remember how Pootpoot's face looks like, and we still have no explanation about the whole lack of clothes situation. Others would have become fully fledged psychopaths after such trauma, but we're glad Pootpoot is doing... "fine".

He doesn't know, he doesn't care.

After he was bullied during his entire high school period, Steve decided to take initiative and change his life. He is not really a biker, he just adopted the look to look intimidating so people don't pick on him anymore. Not really a "change of life", but at least it worked out for him. The name change isn't legal either, he just started calling himself "Brewster" because he thinks it sounds cool.

Feel still claims that glasses are a fashion accessory just like earrings and bracelets and he refuses to take them off. Even after all his friends pointed out that he is not even wearing them properly, rendering them completely useless, he still thinks they make him look... Canadian.

Ghost's goal in life is to become more than a bed sheet with a personality.

Phil (short for Philodendron) thinks he is a Mint leaf because mint leafs are cool. He still doesn't know that he is actually a Philodendron even though everybody around him caught onto his short name. They all just play along so they don't make him feel bad.

Originally, Stashy was pink and she had no mustache. After months and months of meditation and concentration, she managed to channel all her power into growing that amazing fabulous mustache, however, the mustache sucked all the color pigment out of her skin in the process, leaving her monochrome. She doesn't really care though, that mustache is freaking bejujular.

Bloon was inflated by an obscure wizard practicing magic tricks whose breath granted him consciousness. He is able to move around by directing a very subtle deflating stream of air in any direction, however, doing so causes him to lose the very source of his life, so he tends to just float in place most of the time, knowing that he will one day die because he tried to venture too far.

Even though he is not really a pie, he likes to call himself Qtpie because he is slightly narcissistic. His owner thought it would be funny to make a waffle with eyes drawn on it and tiny arms and legs... He doesn't find it funny.

After trying on his friend's mage cosplay costume, Trevor jokingly shouted a pretend spell. Little did he know, that was actually a dimension-warping spell that caused him to traverse into a new universe landing in the Move or Die tournament, alongside other participants whom might or might not be there by force. His only option now is to play along and hope he survives the journey to get back home and return the cosplay clothes to his friend.

He swore to find the ones who dared to interfere with his destiny,choosing the path of vengeance, leaving all his brothers behind.

Glitch is the logo of the popular gaming streaming platform Twitch. His entire life he was forced to just watch others play games while he had to just be a logo on the top of the page. "Enough!" he gestured, deciding to take part in a game himself just so he could experience what every streamer does daily.

After fighting many wars alongside his incompetent comrades, TankMan forced himself to look for new grounds where he can do what he does best, eliminate enemies! Normally, he would be accompanied by his trusty tank, however he forgot where he parked it, leaving him pretty much naked and forcing him to get creative in the middle of the action. His favorite movie is the first half of Titanic.

It's hard to make friends when people make funny faces around you. That's why Poopster barely knows any other feeling than disappointment and depression, he doesn't even know his origins. His only friend is Bob, the little piece of corn stuck in him, the only entity he can communicate with, even though it's a very one-sided communication.

Chris is quite an unusual name for an otter, or at least that's what he thinks. His friends don't really agree with him, knowing that he is always the center of attention wherever he goes. His evil smirk is probably one of the main reasons for that. He like to blow off steam by completely dominating his opponents in various 20 seconds long mini games.

After getting tired of fighting rats and various other enemies from creative scenarios in his own game, Shovel Knight decided to take a break and explore other games as well. He posted some ads in the newspaper and his attention was caught by Move or Die, a game in which he doesn't even need to use his shovel! Just perfect!

Bert had a promising career as a professional night owl ahead of him,that until a fellow night owl tricked him into drinking coffee before dawn. Since that day his entire sleep cycle has been compromised,and down went his career along with his reputation.

His terrible mood might have been there before the incident.

After being separated from his small group of 7 friends, Pizzuh made it his personal mission to find them before he turns cold. Even though he originates from the Pepperoni Clan, which is objecively the best clan out there, he still fears the day when he will become simply a leftover bite.

His parents had a speech impairment and we still don't know why he has hands.

Freshly escaped from the local zoo, Horny is eager to ram his horn into his opponents. Also, he winks a lot.

TsundereShark usually hangs out in the deep ocean with friendly scuba divers. She falls in love pretty easily, and it's not like she likes you or anything. Just make sure she doesn't see you hang out with anybody else, or she'll call you a b-baka...

Maw used to have a mouth and beautiful eyes, but then he took a rocket to the face in Rocket Run. Now he can only express his emotions through weird and gross organic squishy sounds.

Derpy Rokko has a secret. Of which he's not aware of.. You see, for this derpy little rat is not your average lab experiment. Scientists have managed to alter his intelect, making him shift between extra stupid to super genius. Neither of his sides are aware of the other, so in a way, it is like two completely different characters in one. When the shift occurs, no one knows for sure, we just know that derpy Rokko tends to compromise whatever genius Rokko is trying to achieve.

Coming from... you guessed it, France, Honhon the mime seems to be rather sly and mysterious. He never says a word and that is very suspicious. But anyway, what threat does a mime usually pose? Probably none. He's not a clown after all... right?

X-mas is the time of cheerful greets, family time, friendship and understanding... usually. Not that much when you're dealing with an extremely ambiguous gingerma-..err... Let's just call it "Genderbread" for now, until we can properly identify it. Wouldn't want X-mas ruined for that reason. Our best guess: do not assume anything at all around this fellow and things should go smoothly. Chances are whatever you say would sound offensive to him/her/it/they/them/their/etc.

Sweet Red velvet looks so scrumptious, almost so much that you wouldn't dare eat it. That exactly is the main mistake most adversaries make when dealing with this piece of cake. The cunning cake would use any little hesitation to it's advantage and knock the opponents out with a finale signature blow, known as "the Cherry on top". Defeat was never so sweet before... PUNS

Almost Ded was one of the very first characters implemented in the game, however due to a bug, players could not play as him. As a result of this, he lost the ability to re-spawn after death, therefore accumulating artefacts from each death in all the previous game modes. We have fixed that bug now, so he is a regular playable character now, however his wounds from his previous deaths will never heal.

Defending your title for so long can only lead to one thing,and that is becoming a completely irascible and unapproachable lump of grump. Of course, El Pimiento has no more friends for that same reason and nor does it seem to affect him. At least that's what he's been telling the world. Deep down he'd hope to meet someone just as passionate about fighting some day, someone who won't hold a grudge for a few headbutts or some missing teeth. Yet, until that day comes...WHO NEEDS FRIENDS WHEN YOU HAVE A TITLE?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" . The quote that makes this little fellow go on. Despite his appearance,Octy is actually quite lovable and kind, using all of his eight tentacles to help others with various chores or multitask at his own job. Of course,there's always people teasing him,asking if he does have a part time job in Japan...for various reasons. Slightly oblivious and innocent,Octy never really gets the reference.

Sharp edges, vivid colors and crisp textures. That's what the so-called "Virtual Potato" sees through his AVRHMD (augmented virtual reality head mounted display). He uses this to his advantage to make split second decisions as become the very best when it comes to competitive mini-games. The eyes displayed on his headset are an algorithmically deduction of his emotions in real time.

After developing a deep love for rice while growing up, Ake decided to become a sumo wrestler. Not because he liked the sport, but because he just ended up being fat from eating so much rice. He is even known for using the inashi move quite often so he can finish matches quickly, allowing him to get back to eating rice. He is kind of an ass...
