Deltarune/Characters

There are the characters of Deltarune.

This includes spoilers for Undertale.

Kris
The player character and apparent lone human inhabitant of the monster village of Hometown.


 * Amazing Technicolor Population: Close to Simpsons yellow in the light world, blue-skinned in the Dark World.
 * Ambiguous Gender: Similarly to Undertale's protagonist, Kris is referred to by 'they/them' pronouns.
 * Composite Character: Has aspects of both Frisk and the Fallen Child in their design and personality.
 * Contrasting Sequel Character: To Frisk. Both are Silent Protagonists controlled by the player, but Frisk is a child who finds themselves lost in the monsters' world, while Kris appears to have lived there for most of their life..
 * Silent Protagonist: Even in-universe, they don't speak one word.
 * Vague Age: Kris is at least a teenager, but their exact age is not stated.

Susie
A school bully that is teleported to the Dark World with Kris.


 * The Bully: Starts like this.
 * Face Heel Turn: Played with - Susie was already a menacing bully before joining Lancer, but he's so silly and ineffectual that her morality doesn't change much.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Eventually develops into this.
 * Token Evil Teammate: Again, she starts off this trope.

Ralsei
A black goat-like monster who looks like Asriel. He is one of the main characters and helps guide Kris and Susie through the Dark World.


 * Adorkable: Just try resisting the urge to hug him.
 * Deconstruction: Of "Pacifist Route" players. His morality that people can always have good in them and can be reasoned with simply doesn't work here like it would in Undertale. At least, not at first...
 * Foil:
 * He has a similar role to Flowey, being the initial "guide" to the player, but has the personality of kid Asriel.
 * Also a foil to Susie, being the Nice Guy part of the group to her Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: Thinks he's in an idealistic world where anyone can be redeemed à la Undertale. The King of Spades manipulates that belief to lower his guard.

Noelle
One of Kris's classmates. Finds herself in the Dark World during the events of Chapter 2.


 * An Ice Person: Noelle can use ice magic in battle.

The King of Spades
The tyrannical monarch of the Dark World and the Big Bad of the first chapter.


 * Abusive Dad: His Establishing Character Moment is threatening to kill his own son, and then trying to force said son to watch him kill his friends.
 * Bait the Dog: Seems to redeem himself after being defeated, but this turns out to just be manipulation on his part.
 * Evil Counterpart: To Asgore. Both are kings of the area the protagonist is trapped in but Asgore was a tragic anti-villain, whereas the Spades King is both abusive and manipulative.
 * Hate Sink: Has no redeemable qualities or Freudian Excuse that justifies his actions. He's just a sadistic and cowardly Jerkass.

Spamton
Spamton is a Darkner that resembles a puppet, and is encountered in a dumpster within Cyber City. If on a Normal route, Spamton will express interest in Kris and try to offer him a deal. .


 * Breakout Character: A weird puppet salesman that runs on online jargon, hyperspecific pop culture references and utterly manic behavior - of course he's beloved by the fandom and the Internet in general!
 * And yes, he's definitely surpassed that damned
 * Egopolis:.
 * Foil: To Mettaton and the Mad Dummy.
 * Spamton wants to obtain a perfect body of his own, with aspirations of fame and fortune. . Mad Dummy also wants a different body, and like Spamton is "mad" in two senses of the word.
 * The Japanese name for "BIG SHOT" is "Power of BIG ", a direct reference to Mettaton NEO's theme.
 * A God Am I:.
 * Honest John's Dealership: Spamton wouldn't be out of place in one..
 * Laughing Mad: Especially in his shop dialogue - both this and a couple of overworld animations have him glitching as he laughs. His attacks also feature constant laughing..
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When he isn't breaking it outright..
 * Leitmotif: "Spamton", "Deal Gone Wrong", "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A", and of course "BIG SHOT"..
 * Mondegreen: "BIG SHOT" is an incredible exercise in messing with people's ears - various efforts have been made to unscramble and make sense of the lyrics that occur during the middle segment and what they could possibly mean. One possible (spoilered) interpretation is below:

"WHY BE THE WHO HATES ITS   LIFE WHEN YOU CAN BE A"
 * Perverse Puppet: A sleazy puppet-like scammer of a Darkner who became obsessed with dealmaking and sales..
 * Precision F-Strike: Has two in his dialogue - it's subverted in both instances, due to his Verbal Tic substituting sales jargon.


 * The latter example is particularly memorable considering it only occurs if your inventory is full after :

"YOU FILLED YOUR [Inventorium] WITH [Half-Pr1ce Sallamy] JUST TO KEEP ME OUT!? WHAT! THE! '''[F!?"


 * Symbol Swearing: Spamton engages in this occasionally, though it's unclear if he's being "censored" somehow or actually "pronouncing" the symbols.
 * Terms of Endangerment:  seems to be a favorite of his. It's particularly striking when you notice that.
 * Unusual Euphemism: Occurs as part of the Verbal Tic described below - several words are replaced with phrases that are either total non-sequiturs (if they're even words) and/or various voice glitches. And just what the hell does  mean anyway??
 * Verbal Tic: Spamton almost always talks in ALLCAPS, with his dialogue resembling obfuscated spam emails - many words are replaced with non-sequitur words and phrases.
 * Insistent Terminology: "Special" always comes out spelled "specil".
 * Walking Spoiler: Is he ever..
 * Why Did It Have to Be Clowns?: Various dialogues indicate he really doesn't like clowns in general, especially Jevil.
 * Word Salad Humor: His bizarre dialogue is pretty entertaining.
