Boyfriend[edit]
The Boyfriend is the main character and protagonist of Friday Night Funkin'. He is constantly in trouble and singing off with people. Boyfriend has no confirmed name quite yet.
Boyfriend is confirmed to be scared of thunder, as when he isn't rapping during Skid and Pump's level, his sprite changes to discomfort when thunder strikes.
Fans claim he resembles Hatsune Miku because of his Vocaloid-sounding voice and blue hair.
Daddy Dearest[edit]
Daddy Dearest is the father, and the antagonist of Week 1. In the game's plot, he's an ex-rockstar. The main protagonist, the Boyfriend, now has to rap against Father to impress him and get his approval to be his daughter's boyfriend. His songs are Bopeebo, Fresh, and Dad Battle. Daddy Dearest's confirmed name is "Luis".
Girlfriend[edit]
Girlfriend is apart of the main plot. She is seen sitting on the boombox while the rival is trying to steal, protect her or kill her. In the tutorial, she teaches you the basics of the game. She likes Cherry Dr Pepper, as confirmed in a tweet made by ninja_muffin99. She's afraid of thunder, as seen in a split frame from the Week 2 stage. She sometimes can cry when you fail to hit a note during a 10 combo. In the Week 3 stage, GF's hair will blow in the air as the train passes by in the background.
Skid and Pump[edit]
Skid and Pump are two unplayable characters from the 2nd week of the game, their songs are Spookeez and South. Skid and Pump are two children in Halloween-themed costumes. A skeleton costume for Skid and a pumpkin costume for Pump.
Skid wears a black suit with a drawing of a ribcage on it. Skid also has a white head. Skid sits atop of Pump and holds a microphone with his left hand.
Pump wears a black suit with white gloves and a white collar. He wears a pumpkin mask on his head, with two holes carved out in front of the eyes.
These two characters originate from an annual series done by a Youtuber named Sr Pelo named Spooky Month to celebrate Halloween each year as we see the shenanigans they get up to.
Pico[edit]
Pico is an antagonist in Week 3. His tracks include Pico, Philly, and Blammed.
He has orange, round-ish hair, green shirt, light brownish pants, and red sneakers. He is also holding a microphone and an UZI or MAC-10. He was joked about to be exes with the Boyfriend, however ninjamuffin99 confirmed this was a joke, before stating that it depends on what you think. Pico is an obvious collaboration with TomFulp, originating from Pico's School, a flash game series on Newgrounds. May be a playable character in the future, judging by the miss animations and the code in the .JSON file of images of him missing a note. He can also be played if you reverse the source code.
Monster[edit]
Monster is the alias given to an unused character in Friday Night Funkin'. They were meant to be released alongside Skid and Pump for the Halloween update but was ultimately scrapped last minute. The Monster appears as a humanoid character consisting of black scribbles atop a dark violet body, which is mostly exposed at the neck. They have two fingers and two toes. The Monster most prominently has a lemon head, with large black pupils and a wide black smile with teeth that extrude from their mouth with blood staining the roots of their teeth and bottom of their eyes.
Judging by the Monster's lemon head and the tone of their song, they are most likely a reference to Lemon Demon, the musical pseudonym of internet comedian and musican Neil Cicierega. This may be due to Lemon Demon's music being incredibly popular on Newgrounds in the early 2000's and with the official release of "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" ranking up 13 million views on Newgrounds alone. The character's name, "Monster," is named after their file name, as the in-game files related to its level and character have this name. According to ninjamuffin99, the developer of Friday Night Funkin', this level was not added as he was struggling with mapping it. Shortly after the Monster's files were discovered, a user on Reddit mapped the entire song to his approval. It is possible to play a mapped version of the song in the current version of the game by accessing the debug menu by pressing the 7 key. After this, go over to the song tab and change "Dad" or "Spookeez" to Monster and by changing the current song name by typing in "Monster" and saving the .JSON file. After this, reload the .JSON file through one of the buttons on the Song area of the Debug menu. However, this may take several tries to get correct. The song, while fully mapped, has a camera that stops working halfway through the level due to it not being fully programmed.
The Mom[edit]
The Mom is the antagonist of Week 4 and the spouse to Daddy Dearest (Father) and the mother of Girlfriend. Her songs are Satin Panties, High and M.I.L.F. The Mom has a demonic looking appearance with purple skin, long brown hair with black eyes with red glowing pupils. She also wears a black jacket with a red dress underneath, black leather boots with a golden necklace, earrings and bracelets. She also has long red nails and is clutching a microphone in her right hand. The Mom is the first female antagonist in the game. She was revealed early in a sneak peak for Week 4 posted to ninjamuffin99's Twitter on the 18th of December 2020.
Lucky Guitar[edit]
Lucky Guitar is a scrapped character and seems to be a sock puppet of some sort. Lucky Guitar appears to be wearing a cyan hat and owns a red guitar. He also has cyan and peach-red stripes. Finally, he has connected eyes. Not much is known about him, but he does have a song here. While it's not his real song, his track was going to be based off of it. The song he "owns" makes sense for him holding a guitar. He is most likely based off of a sock hand puppet. Lucky Boy is a character created by DomRomArt on Twitter. Lucky Boy will have his own movie or short film in 2021 according to this Twitter account.
