Humans • "
The Animator" (a
self-insert of
Alan Becker): The titular character. He was initially an antagonist who showed disdain towards his creations, before redeeming himself and showing more care to them after learning that one of them (The Second Coming) was sentient and could talk through text.
Artificial stick figures Four hollow-headed stick figures all created by the Animator at different points in the story. •
H4CK3R (formerly
victim): A black, later dull gray stick figure created in June 3, 2006 by the Animator. He debuted in "Animator vs. Animation" before seemingly being
killed off in the same episode. Nearly seventeen years later, he was revealed to have narrowly escaped the computer after being recreated and tortured by his creator countless times throughout 2006 and 2007, being marooned alongside fellow stick figure Mitsi and founding a technology company called Rocket Corp alongside her. Once Mitsi was killed by what appeared to be The Chosen One, Victim decided to avenge her death over the coming years with the help of four
mercenaries. He later tricks the Animator into changing his name to H4CK3R, granting him tech-based reality-warping abilities before teaming up with The Dark Lord. •
NO ONE (formerly
The Chosen One (TCO)): A black stick figure, originally almost identical in appearance to victim, created in 2007 by the Animator. He had several superpowers, including
fire-breathing,
laser vision,
superhuman strength, and creating ice, among others. He debuted in "Animator vs. Animation II" as a villain and was presumed dead after the next episode before reappearing at the end of "The Virus", having redeemed himself to defeat The Dark Lord. In "Animator vs. Animation 12", H4CK3R downgrades The Chosen One by changing his name to NO ONE. •
The Dark Lord (TDL): A red stick figure, created by the Animator in 2011, programmed solely with the mission of destroying The Chosen One. He debuted in "Animator vs. Animation III". He was presumed dead in the same episode, only to reappear in "The Flashback" as a villain seeking to spread havoc across the internet with his army of
computer viruses. He was killed by The Second Coming in "The Showdown", but was revealed in "Hacker" to have been resurrected by his minions, the ViraBots, reprising his role as an antagonist by teaming up with H4CK3R. •
The Second Coming (TSC) (also referred to as
Orange): He is an orange stick figure accidentally created by the Animator in 2014 and the leader of the Stick Gang (a team consisting of him and
his four friends). In almost all animations he appears in, The Second Coming is depicted as being a completely normal stick figure, much like the other figures he meets the same episode in which he is introduced, albeit with far more honed fighting abilities. However, he has hidden powers and capabilities that make him one of the most potent figures currently introduced in the series. These powers include
telekinesis,
flight,
laser vision, extremely powerful strength, and
regeneration. These abilities have only surfaced once through vague means, when The Dark Lord gravely injured The Second Coming and killed his friends. He can also talk through text, but only when inside Adobe Animate.
Fighting Stick Figures A group of four solid-headed stick figures consisting of Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green was introduced in 2014. Residing on
sticksfight.com, they escaped with the help of The Second Coming before each being terminated by the Animator, then subsequently revived. They were later killed by The Dark Lord during "The Showdown", only to be revived again by The Second Coming. •
Red: A red stick figure that loves animals. He is reckless and most impulsive of the Stick Gang. •
Blue: A cyan stick figure that likes farming and brewing potions. He's been described as a "
hippie" and has an addiction to nether wart in the
Animation vs. Minecraft spin-off. •
Yellow: A yellow stick figure that likes computer programming. In "The Box" he is kidnapped by victim's company, Rocket Corp, so they could learn how to manifest the Animator in the Outernet. •
Green: A lime stick figure who likes music and is The Second Coming's best friend. He is arrogant and, as karma, suffers the most out of the Stick Gang.
Mercenaries A group of four stick figures with unique designs and fighting styles. Excluding Ballista, the mercenaries lack official names and are only being referred to with community-created nicknames. •
"Agent": A thin, dark gray stick figure of above average height who wears sunglasses. He has a solid white head with a dark gray outline, identical to his body, and possesses a toolbar that gives him the powers of an animator. Despite being grouped as part of the mercenaries, the episode "Victim" reveals he is victim's full-time employee,
security guard and best friend who watched victim's lover Mitsi die at The Chosen One's hands and wants to avenge her death. It was revealed in a Q&A that his non-canon
production name is
G.U.I.. •
"Hazard": A
pictogram portrayed as uncommitted and comical, but also loyal to victim. He has control over any and all pictogram signs, allowing him to use
electrokinesis; clone himself; or summon an atomic bomb, among many other powers. His non-canon production name is
Sign. •
"Primal": A tall, brown stick figure (similar to stick figure drawings by cavemen) that embodies a wild and untamed nature, often acting on immediate instinct and raw power while having a stronger, more powerful form. His non-canon production name is
Lasco, after the cave system he was based on. •
Ballista: A pixelated stick figure that can shapeshift and is short-tempered. He's a crossover character from the 2003 animation
Stick Figure vs Door. His non-canon production name is
EZToon, after the animation program he was created in.
Others •
ViraBots: The Dark Lord's minions, a species of computer viruses that take the form of robotic spiders. The majority of them are killed by The Second Coming in "The Showdown", but "Hacker" reveals that a few of them have survived and have resurrected The Dark Lord. •
Mitsi: Victim's first friend and lover, and the co-founder of Rocket Corp. She helped Victim overcome his trauma caused by the Animator's abuse of him. She is killed by what appears to be The Chosen One in "Victim", which motivates Victim and Agent into avenging her death. Victim, as H4CK3R, later teams up with The Dark Lord under the promise to
resurrect her. == Episodes ==
