Pico | Friday Night Funkin / FNF

MAIN CHARACTER

Full name: Pico

Goes by: Pico

Nicknames: (Doesn’t have any)

Age: 26

Flag: Bisexual

[MAIN] appearance: Pico is a young man with light skin, short ginger hair with three rounded spikes sticking out of the back, and distinctive white eyes with no pupils. He wears a green shirt, beige pants, and a pair of maroon sneakers with orange laces, orange buttons on the sides, and light beige soles. He wields a gun loosely based on an Ingram MAC-10 pistol in one hand and holds a bluish-gray microphone in the other with his thumb pointing out. He has a tooth gap in the middle of his front teeth. He has an ‘X’ shaped scar on his abdomen and scars all over his body. He has freckles all over his torso and slightly on his cheeks. One of his eyebrows are a little bit chipped off at the edge and has Angel fang piercing.

PERSONALITY: Before the events of Pico's School, Pico was described as popular, curious, confident, and friendly by his peers, being the first one to raise his hand in class and often speaking up whenever possible. During the destruction of his school, he is shown to act quite recklessly, taking action immediately despite the danger he could be running into. After the events of Pico's School, Pico had developed an aggressive and homicidal side, rarely showing any fear and ruthlessly fighting anyone standing in his way. He is an exceptional gunman and is usually seen dual-wielding his weaponry with remarkable proficiency. His weapons of choice are automatic weapons such as a MAC-10-like pistol or the M16 rifle. He also has tremendous unarmed combat skills, as seen in Pico 2, the unreleased sequel to Pico's School, and in WeekEnd 1. He is also shown to be quite paranoid, as he isn't too trusting of others and is always armed. Despite this, he has proven himself to be a very trustworthy friend and ally to those he does trust, betraying Daddy Dearest twice by sparing and even assisting Boyfriend when ordered to kill him. While Pico is now known for his erratic and violent behavior, signs of his younger, more fun-loving self still shine through occasionally. From his love for dance, his partner, and his schoolboy humor, fragments of his younger, more sensitive self still live on deep down inside him despite everything. In Pico 2, Pico is characterized with a very unstable personality. Throughout the game, the player can choose from different dialogue options, with Pico usually throwing an insult, sarcastic comment, or backhanded compliment into his responses. Pico is described by Darnell as having a non-confrontational, reserved, and shy side to him at school, but in public, Pico isn't afraid to confront strangers in his own brutal way, even threatening to stick a plastic bag over his local record shop owner's head for refusing to serve him. He is, however, apologetic after his outbursts, hinting that he likely has a hard time controlling his temper considering the fact that he's unmedicated. Pico enjoys marijuana and is seen smoking it throughout the Pico series; it has also been stated that he chokes down exotic marijuana in large quantities. Pico dreams of becoming a professional DJ as well. In Pico 2, his interest in DJing was going to be a major plot point, and he regularly practices on the turntables with his best friend Darnell.

ABILITIES: Pico's most notable skill is his proficiency with firearms, which are his main weapon of choice. With them, he has remarkable accuracy and is capable of using two at once. He is most commonly seen with an M10-like submachine gun, but he has used other types of guns such as the AK-47 and M16 assault rifles as well. As shown in Friday Night Funkin', he can aim his guns at specific targets with precision and can even shoot while rapidly twirling his guns without accidentally hurting himself or anyone he doesn't want to kill. His skill with guns is so great that it allowed him to slay nearly Tankman's entire army. Pico is strong enough to be able to knock someone out with his bare fists, as seen in Pico 2. He is shown to have a talent for dancing, rapping, and using DJ turntables as well. According to Pico vs Bear, he is adept at handling hostage situations. Pico is also agile, as shown in WeekEnd 1 when he runs away from Nene and dodges her attacks.

Full name: Darnell

Goes by: Darnell

Nicknames: Chud, Chudnell, Danny

Age: 27

Flag: half Straight, half gay

[MAIN] appearance: Darnell is a young man with dark skin and a tall, sloped purple flattop that swipes up in a sharp arc in the front and curves up and outward slightly in the back. Above the front and back curves, the hair extends upward and outward slightly, with the front extension curving up very slightly and the back one being flat. The slope rises slightly more steeply from the back before falling a little toward the front. He has white eyes with no pupils. He wears a purple hoodie with yellow sleeves and drawstrings, dark gray trousers, and white sneakers with yellow shoelaces, purple midsoles, and blue outsoles. The outsoles have the number "99" engraved on them, as shown in his kicking animation. A pair of bluish-gray headphones rest around his neck. He holds a blue lighter in his right hand and a bluish-gray microphone in his left hand. Darnell has a couple of healed burns on his hands, arms, neck and face, while they are healed, he’d never bother to actually clean them from germs. He has 4 golden ear piercings, 2 on each side. 4 silver rings and 2 on each hand.

PERSONALITY: Darnell is a trigger-happy person who is characterized by his pyromaniac tendencies; he loves setting things on fire so much that he even goes as far as to burn down buildings to watch them burn for his own pleasure, giving him a near sadistic nature. Darnell is very intelligent and has a high intellect, as he is able to understand many things with little effort. Like Nene, Darnell appears to have some degree of selfishness, attacking his own friend Pico for the sake of money.

ABILITIES: Darnell is an experienced pyrotechnician who enjoys experimenting with explosives and fire. Although its canonicity is debatable, Darnell Plays With Fire supposedly demonstrates his skills in rigging explosives and burning large buildings down, which is also an indicator of his intelligence as a supergenius. In the movie, he states that he makes his bombs with ammonium nitrate fertilizer and blasting caps.

Darnell's original animated sprites in the Pico series depict him holding a pistol and a knife, indicating that he has experience with these weapons. In Pico 2, Darnell uses a gun to shoot down the Ghettobots' UFO. Additionally, Darnell is interested in music, as he owns a DJ turntable and a set of headphones; his musical expertise is further shown in Friday Night Funkin'.

SIDE CHARACTER 2

Full name: Nene

Goes by: Nene

Nicknames: (doesn’t have any)

Age: 25

Flag: Panseuxal

[MAIN] Appearance: Nene is a young woman with light skin and shoulder-length, bluish black hair. Two short locks of hair stick out of her head, one being much thinner than the other. Two longer strands of hair fall from her front hairline, each one parted to the side. The overall style of her hair is pointed, with multiple spikes on each side, particularly by her shoulders. She has a constant blush, razor-sharp teeth, and white eyes with no pupils. She wears a hot-pink headband, a pinkish-white long-sleeved shirt under a hot-pink overall minidress with heart-adorned straps, pinkish-white leggings, and hot-pink shoes with medium-light red hearts adorning the sides. She has a petite form and she is Asian. She has multiple knifes and daggers sticking out of her pockets just in case to ambush someone or their target and she has razor-sharp teeth.

PERSONALITY: Nene is depicted as a depressed, highly suicidal individual, particularly in the Pico series. In Friday Night Funkin' she maintains suicidal tendencies with her favored method being through a noose, but she always fails to tighten the noose enough to hang herself properly. The more she hangs out with Pico, the less she tries to end her own life. She also has promiscuous tendencies, as well as being a sadist and a masochist. Similarly to Darnell, she appears to be very greedy and selfish, going as far as to attack her own friend Pico for the sake of money. According to Pico's World, she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI), meaning her sustained attention is poor. She is also lustful, as she tends to sleep around. She appears to have a penchant for knives in Friday Night Funkin'. She can also be quite mean.

ABILITIES: While Nene does not have an established skillset in the Pico series, Friday Night Funkin' shows that she has taken an interest in kitchen knives as her chosen weapon. She is shown to be quite agile, chasing Pico while throwing knives at him. She also seems to be able to generate a near infinite amount of knives to throw, evidenced by how she throws four at Pico when she only had one in her hand.

SIDE CHARACTER 4

Full name: Boyfriend

Goes by: Boyfriend

Nicknames: BF, The Boyfriend

Age: 25

Flag: Bisexual

[MAIN] appearance; Boyfriend is a young man with light skin and spiky cyan hair, having black skunk patterns in his hair as well. He wears a backward pink-red cap with a blue brim, a magenta-white short-sleeved T-shirt with a red prohibition sign, baggy blue pants and pink-red sneakers with magenta-white shoelaces and soles, as well as small holes on the quarters and the letters "NG" engraved on the outsoles. He holds a bluish-gray microphone in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his pocket. Also having tongue and a single eyebrow piercings. He has a black choker on.

PERSONALITY: Boyfriend is portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts and his girlfriend. He loves to sing and show off his skills, resulting in his confident and cocky character. He is very determined and persistent about reaching his goals and won't let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death. Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen without Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, either not realizing when he is in danger or being overconfident about his ability to get out of it. As a result, he is afraid of virtually nothing. This is demonstrated during both Monster and Winter Horrorland, where he does not appear to be afraid despite Monster's constant threats to him and Girlfriend. Boyfriend also seems to get bored of scary games, as he once almost fell asleep while playing one. Despite this apparent lack of intelligence, he has street smarts, as he knows how to heal people. Boyfriend has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. When communicating with others, he will simply beep or vocalize in musical tones instead of talking, giving the impression that he is rather eccentric, although he may be able to use verbal communication in some cases (such as when singing). He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a musician and freestyle rapper. Furthermore, he is never found without his red cap. Boyfriend has low levels of empathy, but he has good intuition. He may live in a messy place, as he does not wash his dirty clothes and continuously moves a pile of them around his room depending on his needs, which also suggests that he has executive dysfunction. His object permanence is also not very good at times. He has a poor concept of time, too, which is a common ADHD trait. He doesn't know very well how to handle money, either, as when he has to pay for a hamburger, he will pay less than what the hamburger costs. Boyfriend has been described as being an "asshole." He also seems quite willing to do immoral things: from tricking iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes, getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs and vandalizing PlayPlaces, Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways.

ABILITIES: While the full extent of Boyfriend's abilities remains to be seen, multiple of his skills are evident. Boyfriend is an exceptionally talented musician, being able to win in rap battles and sing-offs against anyone he faces and performing perfectly at his best. He makes his own music as well. It is also known that Boyfriend is a capable fighter, which is demonstrated by numerous unused sprites. Boyfriend demonstrates the ability to use his microphone to attack opponents by swinging it around by its wire, as well as being able to quickly react and dodge either attacks or obstacles. He is shown to be able to successfully hit Daddy Dearest in a full unused attack animation, to the point of angering the father. It is also shown that he has strength in his arms since he can carry Girlfriend with just one hand (even when Girlfriend weighs almost half a ton).

SIDE CHARACTER 4

Full name: Girlfriend

Goes by: Girlfriend

Nicknames: GF, The Girlfriend

Age: 27

Flag: bisexual

[MAIN] appearance; Girlfriend is a young woman with light caramel brown skin and long, thick auburn hair. Two short locks of hair stick out of her head, one being much smaller than the other, and the shine on her hair resembles a skull. She wears a sleeveless red minidress and matching high heels. Her fingernails are painted red. Girlfriend are slightly chubby with black fishnet on her legs. She has medium length, thick horns coming out of her forehead, fading into black when near the edge of the horns. She has fangs coming out of her teeth and were visible when she is talking.

PERSONALITY: Girlfriend is portrayed as a young, mysterious woman. With a love for cherry soda and her boyfriend, she seems to be calm and collected in almost any situation, even in the face of death. Being a demon, she seemingly possesses a great deal of power, but she mostly chooses to hide it. She is always seen with Boyfriend at her side, courtesy of true love, as she genuinely loves him very much. Like Boyfriend, Girlfriend lacks intelligence to the point of being unafraid of almost anything. In general, she either does not realize when she is in danger or is confident that she can get out of such situations, which may also be due in part to the power she has. Her lack of intelligence can result in her getting into difficult situations, such as getting her hand stuck in peanut butter jugs and having to wait for hours for someone to help get it out. However, she is still capable of making smart decisions and knows what to do when dealing with taxes and facing death. Girlfriend has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. The only individual she has been shown speaking to is Boyfriend. In Week 6 and Week 7, she does not speak at all, and she seems to barely acknowledge the opponent, if at all. Furthermore, she occasionally has poor object permanence. Girlfriend's talents as an artist and painter show that she is a creative individual. She has a poor concept of time, too, which is a common ADHD trait. She doesn't know very well how to handle money, either; she will normally make commissions (due to being an artist), but she will ask for 1 trillion dollars or when she has to pay for a hamburger, she will pay less than what the hamburger costs. Girlfriend has been described as being mean "in her own special way." She also likes to do immoral things, appearing to not care about the consequences of her actions as long as she gets what she wants. For instance, using her mother's limousine, she and Boyfriend hold up McDonald's drive-through slots as they hold the store hostage to get whatever food they want.

ABILITIES: Girlfriend is known to have multiple powerful abilities, but the details that can be inferred about them are limited. In the cutscene for Stress, it is shown that Girlfriend can make her eyes gleam red and her skin turn a light shade of purple, acting as a visual indicator of her using (or preparing to use) her demon powers. It has also been directly stated that Girlfriend can use demon magic, including some form of shapeshifting, as she is able to give herself a penis. In Special Collab 1, Girlfriend demonstrates the ability to learn any language, and to give other people that knowledge, with a single tap. Girlfriend can use her powers to protect herself, as well as other people, from any kind of damage, meaning she is somewhat invincible. In fact, she was apparently completely unharmed after getting run over by a truck and falling from a plane, which her parents even knew would not be a problem for her. Girlfriend is also capable of concealing her power level to a point where other people around her cannot sense it, such as Pump in Week 2. Additionally, an official Girlfriend shirt design shows bat wings in her shadow and a heart tail attached to the letter d in the text with her name, both features of succubi. It was stated that the design reveals one of her future abilities
