A list of characters who appear in ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]''. Currently under construction, please contribute!
==
A little boy who gets thrown in the basement by his mother and has to fight for his life. Variations with different stats and starting items can be unlocked by gaining various achievements.
== Shared Tropes ==
* [[Acrofatic]]: Several items make your character fatter. Combine these with items that increase your speed and you have this trope.
*
* [[Break the Cutie]]: It's right in the title screen!
* [[Bullet Hell]]: For once the player can actually cause this with the right items.
* [[Collision Damage]]: Isaac cannot touch most of the enemies. There's an item which hurts the enemies as well when they touch Isaac.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: It's possible.
* [[Detachment Combat]]:
** When using The Shears.
** The Peeper pops out one of your eyes which bounces around the room, hurting everything it touches.

▲** [[Ocular Gushers]]
▲** [[Onion Tears]]: Once you find the Sad Onion powerup.

▲* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Start the game as a crying child and end it as a flying demon that can shoot lasers from their face.

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Possible with certain items.
▲** [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: Both are possible.
=== Isaac ===
Isaac without any special accessories. The only character playable from the start.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Usually referred to as Maggy.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Starts with low speed and 4 hearts, the highest starting amount possible, and an healing item.
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
* [[Born Lucky]]: Cain's starting item gives him increased luck in certain situations.<ref>Pills will never have negative effects, [[Rewarding Vandalism]] is more likely to happen, the odds of winning the Skull game increases from one-third to one-half, and gold chests are more likely to give items (as opposed to pickups).</ref>
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
=== Eve ===
Line 77 ⟶ 76:

* [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: His trademark power-up is called Blood Lust, after all!
