Indie cross

SHOVEL KNIGHT!

Shovel Knight is a selfless and heroic character, following his code of justice, or "Shovelry." His brass and chivalrous demeanor lends well to tactful and witty banter. While he is often forgiving, trying to not stir up conflict, he is just as willing to stand his ground when facing an adversary and does not yield to threats of violence. A seasoned warrior and explorer, Shovel Knight uses both his tools and his quick thinking to solve puzzles, battle all kinds of foes, and of course, unearth as much treasure as he can find!

CUPHEAD!

Cuphead is an eccentric, roughhousing character who punches first and asks questions later. This tends to get him in trouble, especially during Episode 1; showboating his efforts, underestimating the drones, and picking a fight with Shovel Knight. He's also very short-tempered and doesn't take lightly to insults or belittlement. Despite this, he drops the gusto after being bested in battle, showing he's not without humility. Having been humbled, Cuphead mellows out and even admires Shovel Knight's skill, but never loses that playful spunk of his.

NIKO!

Niko is a very innocent and kind child. They are curious and are willing to help others. This includes taking the roll as the messiah of the world/the world machine (the setting of OneShot's gameplay) to bring the Sun back to its place with the guidance of the player. Though they sometimes gain self doubts of their role, and get homesick, but usually try to complete their given mission. Despite their cat features, they claim they are NOT a cat and gets agitated when called one. (They will be aged up to 19 years old so this can be limitless).

MADELINE!

In her game, Madeline is shown to be strong-willed and determined yet heavily conflicted, climbing Celeste Mountain to spite herself. Other characters note her courage, some even berating her and calling her foolish, warning her to turn back before she gets herself hurt. Still, she presses on, determined to drive out unwanted thoughts from her mind and take control of her life even when it's pointless and harmful. She is shown to try to help anyone she comes across, being friendly when she can. She saves the Knight, and the Knight saves her in return, creating mutual respect. And she expresses concern for Charlotte when Frisk attacks her. Her encounter with Frisk shows a bit of her more snappy personality, which usually happens when she’s under threat and stress. Even then, when Badeline drops a mountain on them, she still expresses empathy.

BADELINE

While being pessimistic, realistic and controlling, Badeline can also quickly turn aggressive, sometimes forcefully trying to get what she wants. Even if it means hurting others, including Madeline. However, Madeline accepts Badeline as a part of her, coming to terms with herself. Badeline still wants to protect Madeline and to focus on trying to find a way back into there home universe, and warns her that the challenges she is about to face in this new world is to much for her to handle.

CHARLOTTE!

Charlotte has a very strict and direct personality. She is very commanding and mostly prioritizing her goal to find The Rogues. She doesn't care for the well being of the other indie characters, first seen in Shovel Knight's world, and only was willing to help others when she had no choice. Her attempt at sending Shovel Knight back to his world, only to have a horde of drones on standby shows her deceptive nature and willingness to eliminate potential threats to her mission however prosocial they've been. She dislikes being called a machine or robot.

DRIFTER!

The Drifter has a very reserved personality, usually being focused on his goal. However, he does express honor to others and fear towards his visions. The Drifter is quick to rush to others' aid, saving Niko from a drone and stopping Madeline from falling off a piece of debris, both of which he did without hesitation. He shows great loyalty to his allies, being willing to fight alongside the Beheaded after being saved by him and showing regret when he is forced to leave him behind with the Rogues. He is infected with the disease caused by the Immortal Cell, which makes him cough out blood and have visions of Judgement and the Jackal. They are known to he mute, only speaking through grunts and the drone called the Immortal Cell to show images. They only communicate with grunts or hmphs.

THE BEHEADED!(Golden statue)

The Beheaded is very self-centered and snarky. He usually doesn't care for others and, at least, only tolerates people who aren't his enemies. The Beheaded is noted to have a lack of empathy, given how he kicks corpses around. Even his so-called allies are not safe from this treatment; he didn't seem moved by the death of Tutorial Knight who helped him, and kicked her body like he does to others. He also tends to steal items he comes across, such as the Drifter's sword and grenade.

THE HOLLOW KNIGHT/GHOST/THE KNIGHT!(Golden)

Vessels were solely created to have “No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.” In other words, Vessels are meant to be entirely devoid of thought and emotion. The Knight, however, is shown to have many ways to express themselves. They can save people in need of help, gift flowers to people even when they’re not instructed to, bow as a sign of respect (when Madeline saves them), and was even able to go above its initial purpose and obtain the potential to destroy the Radiance instead of containing it.

UNITHOR

Unithor is depicted as the rogues' leader, sending orders the them to reactivate to fountain in the Wasteland or calling Unreal. He is shown to be cold, calculated and having a lack of sympathy for the indie characters, not shying away on killing. They cannot speak human language.

GAME MASTER

He's overconfident at times and seems to have a sense of humor, like when he turns The Beheaded into a short and wide version of himself, laughing at him while striking a pose, leading to him getting chopped up by The Drifter. When losing and/or overheating he tries to convince The Drifter to give up by showing him his future. He's quick to listen to advice even from anomalies, as seen when The Beheaded told him to look up more despite this just being a taunt, with him in a later fight looking up when Cuphead had his finger pointed upwards anticipating an attack, showing that he wants to learn from his failures, although this was just a trick from Cuphead to land an attack. This quick-study nature comes up again where he performed a faint of his own in response, pretending to fire back at Cuphead with his head cannon, making the magic flask dodge and get caught by the Rogue's surprise kick. Also him figuring out how to temporarily deal with Badeline, after his normal weapons fail to damage the alter ego, by throwing Madeline at her. They cannot speak human language.

He dislikes getting help, and prefers to work alone, quickly flying off to continue fighting after getting healed by Godotrix. He has the same goals as the rest of the rogues but seems to be split off from the rest of the group, he does attempt to contact the other Rogues, meaning he's not always into being alone, but he gets attacked before he can contact the others. They cannot speak human language.

MIDUSARA

Midusara seems to be the "get things done quick" type of person. Using their petrification stare to deal with anomalys as fast as possible. They seem to be serious and no nonsense. Cannot speak human language.

GODOTRIX

They show frustration when it comes to a lack of gratitude for their efforts. They have a small attitude. They cannot speak human language.

UNREAL

doesn't seem to have a clear personality, acting more like a beast tearing almost mindlessly through realms. He does appear to be subservient to Unithor however. He cannot speak human language.
