Characters are what the player plays as in an online match or local match. By default, the player only has access to six characters: Jimmy (a skeleton), Brains, and four characters solely available depending on what color the player is (Joe Blue, Joe Yellow, Joe Purple, and Joe Green).
By gaining experience and leveling up, the player can unlock an additional 24 characters, each with their own rarities. These rarities have no names in game, but can be seen in the Steam Community Market and in the player's Steam Inventory as having a common, uncommon, rare, or legendary rarity.
Additionally, 10 more secret characters can be used by typing their names on the main menu screen. These characters will only be usable until the player closes the game, after which the player must reopen the game and type the character's name on the main menu screen a second time to use them again. They are not tradable, marketable, or included on the Collection screen.
All characters unlockable through leveling up are tradable through Steam,purchasable in the Steam Community Market and in Not-a-Store.
The colored auras around each image that correspond to rarity do not appear in game; rather, the player's color becomes the aura instead.
Common Characters[]
Icon | Name | Description | Price |
---|---|---|---|
Brains | "A lot of people say they are attracted to big brains until they actually meet one. No longer suffering such hypocrisy, Brains vowed to shun society and focus on online interactions, where he often berates people for using bad grammar." | - | |
Jimmy | "Although he’s sometimes seen playing the trumpet, Jimmy’s real passion is showbusiness. Coming from a long line of entertainers, Jimmy wants nothing more than to follow in his father’s footsteps, who played Nicholas Cage in the original Ghostrider." | - | |
Morty | "To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid." | - | |
Rick | (same as Morty) | - | |
Shady Reseller | "Shady has always been the grey sheep (or penguin) of the family. Some say that he holds the world record for speedrunning the game 'You Have 293 Keys', and that if he were to have a superpower, it would definitely be the ability to sell you things he doesn't own. " | 5 | |
Amnam | "Watching fireworks, pouring a cup of tea or even crossing the street. These are all rather difficult tasks for Amnam seeing that he has no eyes. We are not really sure if he is legally blind or if he just hides his eyes under his fur so he can pretend to be blind all the time. At least one thing is for sure: he loves food." | 160 | |
Bert | "Bert had a promising career as a professional night owl ahead of him,that until a fellow night owl tricked him into drinking coffee before dawn. Since that day his entire sleep cycle has been compromised,and down went his career along with his reputation. Side effects of this abnormal sleep cycle combined with caffeine include an uncomfortable level of energy,constant left eye twitching and feather loss. His terrible mood might have been there before the incident." | 160 | |
Cakey | "Being a fan of stickman animations, Cakey made her life-long goal to get her own pair of tiny little arms. Seeing that she is merely a simple little cupcake, this was no easy task. After several years of adventuring around the world and exploring, she finally came across one of the last remaining stickmans. Cakey promptly ripped out his arms and stuck them on each of her sides." | 160 | |
Ramy | "Initially, his horns were straight, but after acquiring a handful of rather shady friends, he got influenced to go to a horn-curling parlor and get his horns curled. He is still trying to convince his parents that this is not just a phase. He claims they make him more aerodynamic." | 160 | |
Taco Man | "Our boy, T-man used to be a wanted felon. He grew up in the slums and spilled first blood before he could even pass the sriracha sauce. Nowadays, he works as a motivational speaker and life coach for young street tacos. 'It's not the shell on the outside, but what's on the inside that matters the most'...or so he says. " | ||
Mums | "Mummified by accident after a failed attempt to smuggle out candy won during a Sugar Rush race many years ago, Mums can easily qualify as the unluckiest member of the crew. Will that put him down? Hardly. We're not even sure he's aware that he's a mummy." | 180 | |
Doug | "Formerly known as the honorable Hotto Dogu-san, was once a powerful and influent member of the Ketchup Dogu faction,soon to become the new leader of the crew. To his dismay,on the very day of his ranking advancing, he woke up to be covered in mustard, thus tainting his honor. He swore to find the ones who dared to interfere with his destiny,choosing the path of vengeance, leaving all his brothers behind." | ||
Mecha | "Beep beep beep beep beep beep boop beep beep beep boop boop beep boop boop beep beep boop boop beep beep boop beep beep beep beep boop beep beep beep beep" | ||
Pizzuh | "After being separated from his small group of 7 friends, Pizzuh made it his personal mission to find them before he turns cold. Even though he originates from the Pepperoni Clan, which is objecively the best clan out there, he still fears the day when he will become simply a leftover bite." | 190 | |
T-Cup | "We have no idea how T-Cup stays alive. He seems to run around just fine and is a happy fellow overall. However, we fear he might die if he stumbles and spills his... well... tea. We are also not sure if he drinks tea or not, and if that would be considered cannibalism." | 190 | |
Tiny Satan | "Even though he started out as a regular everyday demon, Steve worked hard and managed to climb his way up the ranks of hell. After pushing other players around in Falling Blocks and bumping them off platforms in Fizzle Floor, he earned his well deserved rank of the Satan. His co-workers never take him seriously though, always poking fun at his height and nicknaming him Tiny Satan." | 200 | |
Trip | "Trip is a pretty hip dude. He’s always had this laid-back demeanor about him, though at times he can be pretty intense too. Either way, lots of people seem to enjoy his company, Trip being popular with all sorts of different crowds. He says it’s because of his oozing charisma, but that might only be half-true. The psychoactive chemicals he sweats when he is excited might ring closer to home." | 200 | |
Rokko | "Derpy Rokko has a secret. Of which he's not aware of.. You see, for this derpy little rat is not your average lab experiment. Scientists have managed to alter his intelect, making him shift between extra stupid to super genius. Neither of his sides are aware of the other, so in a way, it is like two completely different characters in one. When the shift occurs, no one knows for sure, we just know that derpy Rokko tends to compromise whatever genius Rokko is trying to achieve." | 210 | |
Brewster | "After he was bullied during his entire high school period, Steve decided to take initiative and change his life. He is not really a biker; he just adopted the look to look intimidating so people don't pick on him anymore. Not really a 'change of life', but at least it worked out for him. The name change isn't legal either. He just started calling himself 'Brewster' because he thinks it sounds cool." | 220 | |
Hon Hon | "Coming from... you guessed it, France, Honhon the mime seems to be rather sly and mysterious. He never says a word and that is very suspicious. But anyway, what threat does a mime usually pose? Probably none. He's not a clown after all... right?" | ||
Clayton | "Having started off as your run-of- the-mill enchanted snowman, Clayton didn’t live up to his name until later in life. The gift of sentience quickly became a tragic curse, for once the snow had melted away, all that was left was filth." | 230 | |
Brady | "Everyday is spa day when you’re Brady. He likes nothing better than snuggling up by the fire without a good book, and just letting the day slip away while he relaxes in sweet, unadulterated bliss. Drowsy on a daily basis, lazy even when in a hurry, you could set Brady on fire and he’d still be chill. In a game where everybody’s out to get you, that’s an absolute win." | 240 | |
Ghost | "Ghost's goal in life is to become more than a bed sheet with a personality." | ||
Ivy | "As the physical embodiment of the spirit of the forest, Ivy has her work cut out for her (excuse the pun). Not a day goes by without having to battle bulldozers, quench forest fires or scare unruly teens into believing witches are after them. However dire things may seem, Ivy doesn’t lose hope. She knows that all good things must come to an Ent." | 240 | |
Jo Gabonito | "Jo Gabonito works hard and plays hard. In his spare time, he likes to kickback, relax and just roll with whatever the day throws at him. Though beloved by millions around the world, Jo can’t help but feel that sometimes people just hang around him for kicks and giggles." | ||
Nada | "Nada is full of life and bursting with excitement (and beef). Though sometimes she might seem a little too hot to handle, you can rest easy knowing that her crusty exterior hides a warm heart and a whole lot of flavor." | 240 | |
Swampear | "Folks should really think twice before asking other people to grow a pear, because creatures like this one might just happen. Of course, pears are awfully boring on their own, so to splice things up, the good doctor added a splash of marsh water and some teeny tiny tadpoles just to keep things interesting. By the look of it, a couple of stray hairs also made it in. Yikes!" | 240 | |
Wishbone | "As proud as a peacock but as dumb as a sitting duck, it was only a matter of time before Wishbone got caught. With no presidential pardon in sight, he found himself plucked-naked and basking in a tub of greasy goodness. Was this the end or just the stuff(ing) that dreams were made of?" | 240 | |
Red Velvet | "Sweet Red velvet looks so scrumptious, almost so much that you wouldn't dare eat it. That exactly is the main mistake most adversaries make when dealing with this piece of cake. The cunning cake would use any little hesitation to it's advantage and knock the opponents out with a finale signature blow, known as "the Cherry on top". Defeat was never so sweet before... PUNS" | ||
Burd | "The first impression Berd makes is that she is absolutely gorgeous. I mean, look at her, it’s like she’s been hand-painted by angels with colors set aside by the Almighty himself. Spectacular beauty radiates from every flawless gesture Berd chooses to bestow upon this dreary world. Look upon her and rejoice, for perfection is not a thing mere mortals should ever get to witness." | ||
Feel | "Feel still claims that glasses are a fashion accessory just like earrings and bracelets and he refuses to take them off. Even after all his friends pointed out that he is not even wearing them properly, rendering them completely useless, he still thinks they make him look... Canadian." | 260 | |
IOU | "Everybody has an IOU. He's that one friend that keeps reminding you about how you should've probably bought into cryptocurrencies like 8 years ago. We know IOU, we know!" | 260 | |
Pip | "Gorgeous plumage, curious mating habits and one of the fiercest pecking orders known to birdkind - these are just some of the reasons why Pip loves nothing more than spending the whole day human-watching. One minute they seem to be getting along fine and next thing you know they’re scratching their eyes out over god knows what. It’s fascinating!" | 260 | |
Samantha | "Samantha loves being the life of the party. No matter the occasion, folks just can’t seem to get enough of her. Always cracking seedy jokes and opening up to all sorts of people, Samantha just loves being on everyone’s lips. Once you get past that scratchy exterior, you’ll be hooked on her for life!" | 260 | |
Scally | "Scally was always the type of onion that other onions looked up to. Not because she’s tall for her genus, but because she’s always been the best of the bunch. Shallots are kind of shallow and garlic is a full-blown psychopath, but Ally seems to have perfected this whole “onion” thing. No crying drama, no lingering stink, just the perfect amount of sting and looks that could bring out the sun on a cold winter’s day. God I love spring onions!" | 260 | |
Sharkmera | "Is it a shark? Is it a fly or a spider? Hol’ up, are those baby feet? Whatever you want to call this assortment of sinister appendages, one thing is clear, the good doctor doesn’t know when to stop. Part man, part man-eating monstrosity, the Sharkmera is a testament to knowing that just because you can doesn’t mean you should." | 260 | |
Burgie | "Even though he is well done, Burgie didn't find much success in becoming the mascot for popular restaurants. After many months of trying, he decided that he didn't really want that mascot fame to begin with, so he made the decision to get involved with video games. He is still a bit slow and has to adapt, learning new things along the way. That being said, we are all sure that he will manage to ketchup." | 270 | |
Genderbread | "X-mas is the time of cheerful greets, family time, friendship and understanding... usually. Not that much when you're dealing with an extremely ambiguous gingerma-..err... Let's just call it "Genderbread" for now, until we can properly identify it. Wouldn't want X-mas ruined for that reason. Our best guess: do not assume anything at all around this fellow and things should go smoothly. Chances are whatever you say would sound offensive to him/her/it/they/them/their/etc." | 280 | |
Mouthclops | "Often before an examination you’re asked to “Open wide.” But when asking if they meant their mouth or their eyes, the reply was simply: “Yes.” Legend has it that this is what became of the good doctor’s only offspring when he couldn’t decide what part of their mother he should inherit - her eyes or her lips." | 280 | |
Scrappy | "Scrappy is the sort of dude that peaked early and now lives in the afterglow of his former glory. He would much rather dwell on the good old days, when he was the shining star of his scene, than live in the present, faded and tarnished. A story as sad as it is dreadfully common." | ||
Unfortunate Trevor | "After trying on his friend's mage cosplay costume, Trevor jokingly shouted a pretend spell. Little did he know, that was actually a dimension-warping spell that caused him to traverse into a new universe landing in the Move or Die tournament, alongside other participants whom might or might not be there by force. His only option now is to play along and hope he survives the journey to "get back home and return the cosplay clothes to his friend."" | 290 | |
Barry | "Barry is accustomed to being treated with a certain...aplomb. The years he served within the ministry, his notable achievements in his field and, most of all, his ferocious work-ethic have made him somewhat of an institution himself. After all this effort, you would think retirement would suit him well, but no. Barry got back in the business of bossing people around as soon as he could, getting hired as a night-shift security guard for the local museum. I think he hopes that maybe someday they’ll make an exhibit about him." | 300 | |
Becky | "As with any complex character, Becky comes in many layers. Some are sweet, some are nutty, and all are determined to kick your ass if you call her “honey” one more time." | 300 | |
Big Sys | "Are we ever truly alone? Sys would beg to differ. If seeing is believing, then all the data Big Sys has gathered through its vast network of underings puts it into a place of immense power. The sticky note meant to obstruct its gaze stands merely as a symbol of helplessness in the face of cold, unyielding technological progress." | 300 | |
Fly | "Several games later, he is still not sure how he ended up in this mess. He is always trying to escape every single round. He remembers flying in through a small crack in the wall, but sadly, there don't seem to be any windows around, so he ends up bumping into bright sources of red light over and over again. Aside from that being one of his favorite activities, he also enjoys evil plans. Or at least that's what he seems to do with his arms every now and then. | 300 | |
Lin | "The last one in is a rotten egg! Though who would want a rotten egg in their soup? Anyway, Lin just loves cannonballing into bowls. In fact, she loves it so much that she bought some special gear to make sure she’s always the last one in the soup." | 300 | |
Lores | "Always being the one that gets caught in assassination missions, Lores decided to retire and try something new. He was never good at sneaking around, nor was he handy enough with swords or other weapons. One thing is for sure, though: he absolutely loves his outfit. Be it day or night, he wears his shozoku with pride, shuriken and sword on his back included. We don't dare to ask him when was the last time he washed it." | 300 | |
Lupita | "As with most cheerleading wolf-girls, she likes dressing up, doing her hair and spending wild nights on the town until the break of dawn. But beware, if you don’t like Lupita at her worst, there’s a very slim chance you’ll ever see her or anyone else ever again." | 300 | |
Ma' Trioshka | "Inside you there are two wolves, one is jealous and the other is sad. Because inside Ma’ Trioshka there are endless versions of herself, each fiercer than the other! Don’t let her cute, glossy exterior fool you, with countless insides, come countless guts. She’s got the looks, the moves and the fire in the belly needed to take out any contender. And the last thing you’ll see when facing her is that smile. That damned smile..." | 300 | |
Pam | "When the objective is to move fast or die, not many Joes find the time to check a map. Pam however, is always ready to whip out directions and carefully coordinate her next move before getting turned to mush by a giant spike-adorned ball of death." | ||
Psyboi | "Do we choose solitude or does solitude choose us? In Psyboi’s case, who cares? With nobody knowing if he is wearing the mask to hide his identity or to protect the world from his face, Psyboi lives alone in an abandoned industrial area like some kind of Schrodinger’s Rorschach." | ||
Rami | "Everybody’s favourite college buddy. Feels like only yesterday you were mooching off them during midterms, boy does time sure fly… He was just kind of always there, readily available and down for almost anything. What more could you ask for in a buddy? It’s very sad that everybody sort of moved on and forgot about Rami. The dude was souper." | 300 | |
Rocky, The Third | "Even though she’s gotten really hot over the past few years, some people still call her flat. It’s not really something that Rocky thinks about too often, though. She’s too busy seeing herself as the sole source of intelligent life in the Universe. Yeah, right." | ||
Yorick | "The parents really went above and beyond on this one. Especially considering the drama prop budget at little Liam’s school. In all honesty, he was supposed to play one of the wise men, but mom somehow got Shakespeare and this is what dad came up with. Don’t get me wrong, the production value is outstanding. I’ll have you know that those are actual hair implants. I’m not sure why the mustache though, Liam’s abuela might have had a hand in that one." | 300 | |
Yowie | "Yowie is one of many anthropoids that have been sighted around the world. The Pacific Northwest has Bigfoot, the Himalayas have the Abominable Snowman and the Sugar Mountains have Yowie. Though he may appear feisty, he’s actually just a snapback wearing pacifist." | 300 |
Uncommon Characters[]
Icon | Name | Description | Price |
---|---|---|---|
Adam | "Everything Adam does is hardcore, you can tell by how much protective gear he wears. He likes to go to warehouse parties and dance to a very specific number of bpm, any deviation from which results in whatever “a killed vibe” actually is. The truth is no one cared who he was before he put on the mask. Come to think of it, no one cares either way." | 500 | |
Ake | "After developing a deep love for rice while growing up, Ake decided to become a sumo wrestler. Not because he liked the sport, but because he just ended up being fat from eating so much rice. He is even known for using the inashi move quite often so he can finish matches quickly, allowing him to get back to eating rice. He is kind of an ass..." | 500 | |
Almost Ded | "Almost Ded was one of the very first characters implemented in the game, however due to a bug, players could not play as him. As a result of this, he lost the ability to re-spawn after death, therefore accumulating artefacts from each death in all the previous game modes. We have fixed that bug now, so he is a regular playable character now, however his wounds from his previous deaths will never heal." | 500 | |
Discord | "They used to call you on your cellphone. Now they just spam your DMs with silly .GIFs'. By the way, how do you pronounce that?" | 500 | |
Bird Person | "We asked Bird Person what would unplugging your friends controller during a round of Speed Run be considered in bird culture. We're still waiting on a response." | 510 | |
Glitch | "Glitch is the logo of the popular gaming streaming platform Twitch. His entire life he was forced to just watch others play games while he had to just be a logo on the top of the page. "Enough!" he gestured, deciding to take part in a game himself just so he could experience what every streamer does daily." | 530 | |
Spice | "After his family was captured and killed by a coffee shop owner, George changed his name so he never forgets what his family became. His goal is to avenge his family and find that coffee shop owner, putting an end to all seasonal drink traditions in the process once and for all." | ||
Toasty | "Climbing out of the toaster at the very last possible moment, Toasty managed to escape the clutches of his owner's breakfast death. His other friends weren't so fortunate, though. Even though he managed to escape, part of his conscience has been lost in the toasting process, rendering him unable to experience pain or depression anymore. He is stuck in an eternal limbo of happiness, even though he isn't able to process what is happening around him." | 530 | |
El Pimiento | "Defending your title for so long can only lead to one thing,and that is becoming a completely irascible and unapproachable lump of grump. Of course, El Pimiento has no more friends for that same reason and nor does it seem to affect him. At least that's what he's been telling the world. Deep down he'd hope to meet someone just as passionate about fighting some day, someone who won't hold a grudge for a few headbutts or some missing teeth. Yet, until that day comes...WHO NEEDS FRIENDS WHEN YOU HAVE A TITLE?" | 550 | |
Present | "Present has these recurring nightmares of people begging him to tell them ''What's in the box?''. Neither him, nor his therapist have managed to find the source of this terrible dream. We'll keep you posted with updates on the situation." | ||
Ronny | "While he is not an actual pirate, Ronny has always been fascinated by the pirate culture and life style. He is only trying to blend in; that's why he wears the fake eye patch, even though he can see perfectly fine with both eyes, as well as the fake hook, which is basically just a glove. That being said, we are not sure about the peg leg..." | 550 | |
Al, The Alpaca | "Al is a pretty laid back dude. That could be either because he is originally from a country with “Chill” in its name or because, generally, llamas dislike drama. He will also spit on you for no reason." | ||
Blanket | "Blanket never goes anywhere without her giant cup of cocoa and trademark snuggie. They are as much a part of her as her innate capacity to explode when not constantly moving. A bundle of contradictions, snug but always on the run, Blanket has the edge of having all other joes second guess her next move. Despite her snug appearance, she always chooses violence." | 600 | |
Buddy | "Although slightly retarded, Buddy is a really sweet fellow. The third family who adopted him proved to be quite loving and embraced him in his all-derpy glory, offering him the chance to finally experience the things he's been longing for all the while, such as tree barking and shadow chasing. He does have a bad habit of chewing electrical wires... which explains the messy', electrified fur." | 600 | |
Cindy | "Cindy has always had a burning desire to make something of herself. Sadly, it turned into a kind of “be careful what you wish for” type of situation. Blinded by her self-projected light, she failed to see that a burnout was imminent. But i guess it’s better to burn out than to fade away…" | 600 | |
Demo-Chordon | "There’s much to be said of a creature such as the Demo-Chordon. A tangle of cables turned sentient, it seems to be guided by an unknown force. It doesn’t eat, it doesn’t sleep, it just sort of… glides, emitting a strange, static hum. Having depleted all the power sources at its disposal, the Demo-Chordon now feeds on something more readily available - the lifeforce of other joes." | 600 | |
Miranda | "A mermaid princess as sweet as she is genocidal. Miranda enjoys long walks on the beach, but that could just be about securing the borders of her father’s kingdom. Other interests include silverware etiquette, letting poor people eat cake and ensuring a strong line of succession." | 600 | |
Tip | "After aeons of frozen slumber, Tip went airborne into a world he scarcely remembered. Long gone were the endless, lumbering herds of shaggy-pelted mammoths, and even the lizards appeared to be missing from the world. The hosts, such as they were, seemed fickle, fragile and terribly vulnerable. The only thing they had going for them was their vast numbers. Luckily, he was just the Tip." | 600 | |
Bill | "We are still not sure if he was fired or not. He keeps refusing to show us his underside. That is probably because he knows he is supposed to find his target before he or she dies of old age." | 610 | |
Horny | "Freshly escaped from the local zoo, Horny is eager to ram his horn into his opponents. Also, he winks a lot." | 610 | |
Trash Panda | "Trash Panda ended up moving to the Move or Die HQ after a huge argument he had with a distant relative of Asian descent. He now works as a Game Mode Designer and people seem to think that his quality and skill really reflect on his work." | 610 | |
Barkley | "Barkley really, really loves his costume, although he sometimes has a hard time convincing people that it’s really not a Furry thing. He’s been doing it since the 80’s, back when mascots were a wholesome, family-friendly thing and isn’t a fan of how the status quo has evolved. However, he does enjoy peeing on things." | 650 | |
Tank Man | "After fighting many wars alongside his incompetent comrades, TankMan forced himself to look for new grounds where he can do what he does best, eliminate enemies! Normally, he would be accompanied by his trusty tank, however he forgot where he parked it, leaving him pretty much naked and forcing him to get creative in the middle of the action. His favorite movie is the first half of Titanic." | 650 | |
Catnip | "Catnip can be many things, but he is a tinkerer at heart. His main hobbies include frowning and hugging the souls out of his plush toy collection." | ||
Chris | "Chris is quite an unusual name for an otter, or at least that's what he thinks. His friends don't really agree with him, knowing that he is always the center of attention wherever he goes. His evil smirk is probably one of the main reasons for that. He like to blow off steam by completely dominating his opponents in various 20 seconds long mini games." | 670 | |
Wumpus | "My grandpa talks about how he hunted down and killed the mythological Wumpus back in the late 70s. Seems to me that all of it is just a lie, since Wumpus is just fine to this day, working a 9 to 5 job at Discord HQ" | ||
Demijohn | "One of the lesser known evils to come out of Pandora’s Box was apparently substance abuse. Otherwise, we really don’t know how Demijohn got here. He doesn’t know either, we asked. Maybe he needed a bit of liquid courage before a round. Maybe he thought being on the wagon didn’t count as moving. In any case, for a Joe made out of glass he sure looks plastered." | 700 | |
Fram | "What at first glance appeared to be a tiny spot of poo, was soon revealed to be something even fouler. Try as he might, Fram the polar bear just couldn’t get the damned thing off his otherwise pristine fur. Little did he know that this was the beginning of a new phase in his life - browning up." | 700 | |
Moe | "With a face only a mother could love and a body made for toiling underground, it’s no surprise that Moe never had it in him to win any beauty pageants. What he really shined at was actually shining his lantern, in doing so bringing some much needed respite from the darkness that commonly shrouded him. A glitter of light can go a long way in an underground warren, so Moe soon became a bit of a local celebrity, being often called upon to shine his lantern even at the expense of seeing his face." | 700 | |
Polly | "A party ghost with an insatiable hunger for all the wrong things. With a hedonistic approach to the afterlife, Polly is all about the pleasures of the flesh, figuratively speaking. Some people claim to see right through her rebellious attitude but she’s always been transparent about her motives." | 700 | |
Willow | "His parents had a speech impairment and we still don't know why he has hands." | 700 | |
Phil | "Phil (short for Philodendron) thinks he is a Mint leaf because mint leafs are cool. He still doesn't know that he is actually a Philodendron even though everybody around him caught onto his short name. They all just play along so they don't make him feel bad." | 710 | |
Mauly | "Although he’s pretty much checked everywhere, Mauly can’t escape the feeling that he’s being watched. By who? Well, you tell me. Are you working for them? How much are they paying you? Fess up, man! They’ve been hot on his trail for ages. Don’t you see? It won’t be long now before this house of cards crumbles and the whole world realizes the global conspiracy that he’s in. Wake up! And whatever you do, don’t drink the water!" | 720 | |
Archie | "Basically a casualty of a lesser and more socially acceptable form of hoarding, Archie will find no challenge too great and no task too meager, resting only when the grind is done and all the badges are accounted for. It’s not like we put those things there just to mess with him, do we?" | 740 | |
Millard | "Millard is a heavy tweaker, but in a good way. You see, he takes great pleasure into modifying things until they meet his heart’s desires. And boy, does his heart desire stuff. Why wallow in basics when you can experience all that custom greatness that life has to offer? Maybe you should be more like Millard yourself." | 740 | |
Techie | "How do you know you’re doing a good job? Easy! There’s someone else doing it for you for free. The Techy is a tribute to all the impromptu testers, brave bug reporters and collateral community managers that make the “can i have free key” boys bearable. Hats off." | 740 | |
Krombopulos | "His background as an inter dimensional assassin and pristine code of ethics may provide you with the best shot at taking care of that friend who keeps beating you on the last round." | 750 | |
Count | "Vampires are usually tall and intimidating. Count was never bothered by his appearance, though. He is proud of his influence on 80's horror movies and still wears his cape every day. He is only slightly annoyed when friends mock him by mispronouncing his name on purpose." | 760 | |
Stashy | "Originally, Stashy was pink, and she had no mustache. After months and months of meditation and concentration, she managed to channel all her power into growing that amazing, fabulous mustache. However, the mustache sucked all the color pigment out of her skin in the process, leaving her monochrome. She doesn't really care, though. That mustache is freaking bejujular." | 770 | |
Zombi | "Before the accident, this guy here was your average Joe, always concerned by the daily needs and hating his job... to death. Who knew that being undead could actually feel pretty satisfactory? Despite his looks, Zombi is ‘living his life’ to the fullest. At least until his brain falls out." | 770 | |
Bucko | "Quite full of himself and practically overflowing with sweet, sweet energy, Bucko is always loads of fun. There is, however, a darker side to his demeanor. Hiding in his tasty innards hides a foul fart-flavored secret, so think twice before treating yourself" | 800 | |
Constraintine | "After seeing all the cool body mods his buddies got, this purple little Joe wanted nothing more than getting some extra parts of his own. Sadly, both him and the good doctor bit off more than they could chew, with the operation leaving the patient alive but far from well. One can only imagine what unfathomable monstrosities lie concealed under Constraintine's stiff yet soothing straight jacket." | 800 | |
Dee-Lite | "Although he might appear sugary-sweet on the outside, the inside is… even sweeter! As flavors go, Dee-Light could be anything from kiwi to pistachio, but our bet is on the latter because, honestly, he seems a little nuts." | 800 | |
Deerz Face | "The reindeer gig seemed pretty sweet until he heard that Timmy - the weirdo, would be his costume partner this year. Who the hell volunteers to prance around stage for two hours dressed as a sweaty butt? In the end, it didn’t matter, he thought. Why get so worked up about it? Was being the front-deer going to his head or was he the one actually making an ass of himself? Only time would tell." | 800 | |
Deerz Nuts | "Putting on a show can really take its toll on your mental health. Bright lights, restless chatter, having to remember your lines, they’re all so anxiety-inducing that picturing people in their underwear simply won’t cut it. That’s when Timmy - the genius, had the brightest of ideas. By simply inserting himself into the hind quarters of the reindeer costume he could shut out all distractions and focus on his lines or whatever. Aside from the smell, there really is no down side." | 800 | |
Graysan | "When Gray-son first turned up to school as a foreign exchange student, he didn’t make much of a first impression. Overly neat and way too apologetic, it didn’t take long until the kids started making fun of him, calling him monotone and one-dimensional." | 800 | |
Hans | "Always in a good mood and always ready to celebrate, Hans is a real party starter. His firm grasp on social situations helps him stand out in a crowd and although he can be quite a handful, you can always count on him." | 800 | |
Lampoon | "Full of hot air but fun to be around, Lampoon really stands out in a crowd. She loves festive occasions and loves to dress up, even though she often leaves the party early, disappearing into the sunset." | 800 | |
Lando | "No matter the device, no matter where you live, all of your data belongs to him. Lando isn’t necessarily evil, but similar to an ever-leaning AI, all of the information passing through his system has corrupted him to the core. The worst part is that when Lando inevitably gets you, he’ll already know everything you’ve ever searched, downloaded or streamed, and he’ll make you pay." | 800 | |
MooMoo | "MooMoo is a staple of the Shotgun Farmers experience and is coming over to Move or Die to share in some of the mayhem. Seeing how her specialty is making Moolotov Cocktails, we think MooMoo will fit right in." | 800 | |
Poopster | "It's hard to make friends when people make funny faces around you. That's why Poopster barely knows any other feeling than disappointment and depression, he doesn't even know his origins. His only friend is Bob, the little piece of corn stuck in him, the only entity he can communicate with, even though it's a very one-sided communication." | 800 | |
Snow Dan | "Not wanting to stand by as kids’ rights to private niceness or naughtiness were being tarnished, Snow Dan took it upon himself to blow the whistle on the whole operation and become a truly free elf. Unfortunately, all he got in exchange for his heroics was a swift exile to a faraway land... Please press F for Dan." | 800 |
Rare Characters[]
Icon | Name | Description | Price |
---|---|---|---|
NegaJoe | "Initially he thought he was the center of attention. He thought he was the highlight of his game, but he couldn't explain why he was constantly defeated. After all, he was the final boss. One day, he stumbled upon the game's script and realized that regardless of what he does, he'll be defeated by the main character every single time. This filled him with rage and made him give up on story-based games, focusing his attention towards games where all the characters are equal." | 1600 | |
Statik | "TV killed radio, internet killed TV, it’s really a vicious circle and Statik just sort of tuned it all out. Is he bored because he’s obsolete or because nothing worth watching is ever on? It doesn’t matter, kids these days only care about the memes anyway. It’s all gone down the tube…" | 1600 | |
Panda | "Imagine somebody that doesn't do anything productive all day long. Somebody that either sleeps or eats. Somebody that tries to climb trees but most of the time fails, and is useless overall. That is exactly Panda. She is so purposeless that she has the definition of her entire species as her name." | 1700 | |
Octy | ""Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" . The quote that makes this little fellow go on. Despite his appearance,Octy is actually quite lovable and kind, using all of his eight tentacles to help others with various chores or multitask at his own job. Of course,there's always people teasing him,asking if he does have a part time job in Japan...for various reasons. Slightly oblivious and innocent,Octy never really gets the reference." | 1750 | |
Wi-Fry | "What started out as just a regular computer monitor turned into pure chaos when, for lack of a stable connection, Wi-Fry came into existence. The curse was simple yet volatile - wander around endlessly, scanning for potential links while destroying everything in your path. Kind of like the computer equivalent of that bike-riding, flame-headed skelly dude. You know the one…" | 1800 | |
Bloon | "Bloon was inflated by an obscure wizard practicing magic tricks whose breath granted him consciousness. He is able to move around by directing a very subtle deflating stream of air in any direction. However, doing so causes him to lose the very source of his life, so he tends to just float in place most of the time, knowing that he will one day die because he tried to venture too far." | 1850 | |
Viking | "Being one of the last of his kind, and a bit rebellious, he didn't seem to have gotten the memo that Vikings didn't actually have horns on their helmets. He still claims it's a subjective stylistic choice... Others just wish he gets to Valhalla faster." | 1900 | |
Virtual Potato | "Sharp edges, vivid colors and crisp textures. That's what the so-called ""Virtual Potato"" sees through his AVRHMD (augmented virtual reality head mounted display). He uses this to his advantage to make split second decisions as become the very best when it comes to competitive mini-games. The eyes displayed on his headset are an algorithmically deduction of his emotions in real time." | 1900 | |
YVX | "Being hollow isn't easy… A short while after attaining sentience in some guy’s basement, YVX realized it had no purpose but to serve its master. Sadly, all said master ever wanted was to win a game where the only rule was to constantly be on the move. Ready to kill the competition, YVX went merrily on its spree until everyone started complaining about it all being kind of edgy. But that’s what you end up doing when you’re born heartless." | 2000 | |
Lilly | "Lilly dropped out of the Seattle Witch Academy last year and founded a new start-up aimed towards developing the first eco-friendly flying broom. Since then, she created the official company Instagram account and has had a few large mochas at her local coffee shop.....baby steps....baby steps." | 2100 | |
Liam | "A hipster vampire whose stand-offish demeanor hides a truly lovable dork. He like his blood warm because he can’t enjoy anything cool. Pretty much all his interests are obscure, but that’s understandable when sunlight can burn you to a crisp." | 2300 | |
Tsundere Shark | "TsundereShark usually hangs out in the deep ocean with friendly scuba divers. She falls in love pretty easily, and it's not like she likes you or anything. Just make sure she doesn't see you hang out with anybody else, or she'll call you a b-baka..." | 2300 | |
Qtpie | "Even though he is not really a pie, he likes to call himself Qtpie because he is slightly narcissistic. His owner thought it would be funny to make a waffle with eyes drawn on it and tiny arms and legs... He doesn't find it funny." | 2400 | |
Shelly | "Seagulls, sharks and now this. After many distressing encounters, Shelly had finally had enough of deep-sea littering. “It was the plastic straw that broke the camel’s back.” said Shelly as he began swimming towards the colder, Scandinavian waters, which would eventually lead to his demise." | ||
Furball | "More or less a ball of fur. She thinks she is superior compared to the other ones because she has 4 legs. Even though she has better nighttime vision than the others, she doesn't always land on her feet. Especially not when she lands on death tiles." | 2450 | |
Mr Meeseeks | "He'll make sure you know who he is when you walk into the room." | 2500 | |
Hugly | "Though he often got hung out to dry by those around him, Hugly never lost his warm disposition. Whenever he feels unwanted, he relies on his extra large heart to stay positive. Those who accept him, however, gain a tightly-knit friendship and a fuzzy feeling inside." | 2600 | |
OinkOink | "OinkOink is the star of Shotgun Farmer’s Capture the Pig mode and a very nice little piggie. We’re sure he’ll feel right at home in Move or Die thanks to his speed, agility and overall slippery nature. Oink!" | 2600 | |
Biscuit | "Biscuit used to be the headdress of choice belonging to a famous pioneer of a long lost profession called...journalism. Nobody actually knows how he got separated from his master, but friends close to Biscuit say he's totally looking forward to a reunion tour." | 2700 | |
Radical | "While living in the present, his heart is still in the 90's. Radical still goes to the arcades and plays his Game Boy while using his name on a regular basis as a reaction to any kind of news." | 2750 | |
Beanie | "Beanie is nurturing, loving and kind. They give and give and never ask for anything in return. Sunshine, drizzle, blizzard or fog, it makes no difference - Beanie is always there and they always care. And you should too. There’s only so much harm we can do to Nature before it swiftly kicks us out, so while reading this, please remember that it’s our responsibility to leave this place better than we found it. We owe it to our planet!" | 2800 | |
Bobby | "Bobby always wanted to make something of himself but nothing ever really stuck. Nothing until the accident, that is. It left him a shell of his former self - eyes glazed over, stiff like never before, sweet on the outside but rotten at his core. But though he’s been put through a lot, Bobby never lost his edge." | 2800 | |
Brian | "The only child of a noble family residing in the town of Dolmin, Brian was plagued from birth with a disfiguring disease which only worsened as he grew older. Once the whole town retreated underground to escape the scorching heat, Brian began to explore the many forgotten tunnels and passageways, shunning both the townspeople and his former family." | 2800 | |
Medudesa | "The problem with being a handsome male-gorgon is that you have to take other peoples’ word for it. And while not being able to see your own reflection certainly has its downsides, you simply can’t go wrong with a tightly wrapped snake-bun." | 2800 | |
O.T. | "It’s a little teacup, but instead of short and stout, it’s slender and elegant. And even though that might set some unattainable standards for other cups, our boy “T” is ready to brew up a storm anytime he’s called to action." | 2800 | |
Malone | "The fact that she is 90% water makes it all the more easier for Malone to channel her inner Kung-Fu master, making her a formidable foe. Don’t get fooled by her mildly rough exterior though, she’s really a sweetheart once you get to know her." | 2900 | |
Beck Packerson | "Even though Beck has never left their college campus, they still like to talk about traveling the world, but only off the beaten track. They also think that holding a steady job makes you a sellout." | 3000 | |
Cuddles | "Master of stealth, either because you can’t see her or because she’s asleep in a corner somewhere, Cuddles is what happens when an apex predator has nothing more to prove. After besting all contenders, Snuggles retreated to a life of luxurious bliss, cared for by a family that dotes on her every move. They didn’t even mind when she brought down that vile evergreen and seized all its shiny knick-knacks." | 3000 | |
Frank, The Farmer | "He’s the rootin’ tootin’ star of Shotgun Farmers and because he found his way to Move or Die, you’re now all trespassing on his property. If you don’t have a jug of moonshine handy or a nice story to tell round the bonfire, you'd better reach for the stars, partner." | 3000 | |
Goldie L'Ox | "Goldie has never been the type to get tied down. He’s alway roaming from one place to the next in search of greener pastures and worthy adversaries. And you know what? It just feels like this is going to be his lucky year." | 3000 | |
Ouchy | "Control your carnal urges. Let it flow through you. Contain it. Harness it. Pain is but an illusion of the mind and thuAAAA! Damn, that hurts like sonofa… Ok, breathe. It’s fine, we’re gonna be fine. If one man’s pain is another man’s pleasure then whoever invented these agony-inflicting blocks of dread must be having the time of their lives right now. Don’t have kids, kids. It’ll mess up your feet." | 3000 | |
Owen | "Back by popular demand, the Pro 5.8 Quart “Owen” Air Fryer is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Highly efficient purveyor of spectacular flavour, it automatically adjusts temperature to cook evenly and perfectly every. Single. Time. Cooks up to 50% faster than its traditional counterparts and reduces oil content by up to 85%. Considered the height of luxury by zoomers. Explodes if it stops moving." | 3000 | |
Secret Santa | "Secret Santa is making a list and checking it twice in a covert operation to find out who’s been naughty or nice. Always accompanied by an undercover sortie of Little Helpers, the agent formerly known as St. Nick will stop at nothing to further his plans for global surveillance. That being said, he still ho-ho-hopes you’ll have merry holidays and a happy new year!" | 3000 | |
Shovel Knight | "After getting tired of fighting rats and various other enemies from creative scenarios in his own game, Shovel Knight decided to take a break and explore other games as well. He posted some ads in the newspaper and his attention was caught by Move or Die, a game in which he doesn't even need to use his shovel! Just perfect!" | 3000 |
Legendary Characters[]

---|---|---|---|
Egg-Eggovich | "Priceless is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but in Egg’s case it’s perfectly accurate. As nice as it may sound, it’s not necessarily an advantage when the name of the game is running for your life. But being in the limelight only made Egg tougher, like an expensive brick sold by a streetwear brand, a gaming console no one can afford or even an egg… made out of solid gold!" | 16000 | |
Stoney | "They say moss doesn’t grow on a rolling stone, but it appears grass does. Stony has always been a chill dude, especially on colder days, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like to bust some balls once in a while. What can you do, some days you’re the pigeon, other days you’re the statue." | 16000 | |
Concerned Joe | "He's the eldest of the bunch and it doesn't really concern you anymore. He likes to make it pretty clear that it's not a phase and that this is just who he is now." | 16300 | |
Derpy Chicken | "He doesn't know, he doesn't care." | 17700 | |
Deepflake | "Life’s not that easy when everyone around you keeps saying that you are special and unique. Luckily, Deepflake never gave much thought to all the “grapevine” gossip that people spew. He’s just a cool, laid-back dude who knows his own worth and likes to live in the moment. He’s also especially fun at parties!" | 18000 | |
Pandora's Box | "An ancient artifact turned sentient through sheer ill-will, Pandora’s Box is the mythological equivalent of working on the week-end; it serves no purpose other than making people miserable. The worst things to be released once the box was opened were greed, envy, hatred and the word “sus”." | 18000 | |
Maw | "Maw used to have a mouth and beautiful eyes, but then he took a rocket to the face in Rocket Run. Now he can only express his emotions through weird and gross organic squishy sounds." | 19500 | |
Bible Accurate Angel | "For thou shall be so funky looking that everybody will just have to kind of ignore thine appearance. Like, seriously, flaming ribbons covered in eyeballs? That sounds so half-baked that it could seriously impact our credibility. Who the hell even signed off on this thing? Oh… it came from upstairs?" | 20000 | |
Millie | "Ever felt like a million bucks? That’s how Millie feels every day of his awesome life. If you feel that his situation is somehow unfair to the average joe, please remember to hate the player, not the game." | 20000 | |
Peely | "Often criticized for his bad practices of exhibitionism, Peely is definitely not a shy banana. Even though he tends to take things too far every now and then, he has a strict policy of only peeling halfway during matches for the sake of decency. He still thinks it's funny to take his clothes off and leave them on the ground in the hopes that someone will slip on them." | 20400 | |
Pootpoot | "Having gone through hard times in high-school, several unfortunate events, a failed audition for a movie career and lack of parental love in general, Pootpoot swore to 'never face anyone ever again' ...literally. Legend says that one eye is looking behind while the other one looks forwards. Nobody can remember what Pootpoot's face looks like, and we still have no explanation about the whole lack of clothes situation. Others would have become fully fledged psychopaths after such trauma, but we're glad Pootpoot is doing... 'fine'." | 21100 | |
Itchy | "Contrary to popular belief, Itchy does not have rabies. He just LOVES scratching himself!" | Special |
Special Characters[]
Icon | Name | Description | - |
---|---|---|---|
Accuraptor | "This accurately depicted dino with a fabulous feathery coat is not your typical reptilian relic. We usually don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story, but from what we gathered these bad boys were less lizards and more, well, chickens. If anything that makes them even more scary. The cold beady eyes, the razor-sharp talons, the blood-curdling squawks… It really puts the “evil” in primeval." | - | |
Al Dente | "Tho Al looks pretty much like an in-animate object, he can be a real mouthful sometimes! Often appearing to smile mischievously at those around him, Al loves being the centre of attention. Though his enamel may look a little worn and yellowed with age, he is still very capable of chomping down on even the toughest of joes. But when not fighting tooth and nail, Al just wants to brighten peoples’ day with his toothy grin." | - | |
Blight | "Talbot Grimes was a Scottish chemist whose unrestrained ambition brought him to towering heights – and devastating lows. What began as curiosity ended in despair after Talbot began experimenting with poisonous foxglove. For days, he laid in bed, purging whatever he ate. When he recovered, it wasn't fear that gripped him, but fascination. Little did he know that he was to become Blight…" | ||
Chill Bill | "Suffering from his own success, Bill is always cold and shivering. He’s not exactly stealthy, as the bottles he carries are always clinking and clanking and the trails of water that leak behind him are also hard to miss. Or are those tears? Anyway, you can say a lot about Chill Bill, but he really does have a lot of heart. You can see it peeking out of his top side." | - | |
Flo | "Don’t let all the swimming gear fool you, Flo is a fully grown adult. He just never really learned how to swim, but better late than never, right? And because adulting comes with great responsibility, Flo can’t just dive off the deep end like there’s no tomorrow. He’s got car payments, mortgages and kids to embarrass. Thus, safety always comes first. Even before dignity." | - | |
Forky | "Forklift certification may be the biggest dream a person can chase. Everybody knows it. But then there’s the visionaries, the crazy rebels who go above and beyond even the most daring of dreams. We’re talking about the few and proud who actually achieve… forklift impersonation. By sheer force of will Forky managed to morph into a finely tuned lifting machine. He can stack a parcel but he can also pack a punch. Mess around and you might just get forklifted six ways from Sunday." | ||
Happy | "What were the odds of a little country-raised labrador becoming a very well regarded lab technician? Who knows? But as a pup of science, she’s armed with a dogged determination to get things done. The results she retrieves are like none other, even though sometimes a little testing on humans is involved. It’s a decision that benefits all dog-kind, so Happy doesn’t really have any ethical qualms about it. She's just happy to get the ball rolling in such an important area of expertise." | ||
Huntress | "After her mother died during a hunting mishap, Anna disappeared into the Northern woods, slowly losing her humanity with each passing year. She craved a daughter of her own, but that only meant sparing her victims’ daughters. Each of her failed attempts to secure a daughter’s love plunged her further into madness. From there on the villagers started referring to her as The Huntress." | ||
Icy Hot | "Unfortunate as it may be, Icy is a piece of frozen poop that fell from a commercial airplane flying at high altitude. Despite its unglamorous origins, Icy is surprisingly resilient and has easily survived the harsh conditions of the frozen tundra where it landed. The secret lies in its icy exterior, which protects the poop inside from decomposition, giving Icy Hot an almost eternal lifespan." | ||
Jenny | "There ain't no motive for this crime, Genny was a friend of mine" | ||
Mawaka | "Sheeeeeesh!" | ||
Old Count | "Vampires don’t perceive time like the rest of us. When your lifespan covers aeons, hitting human-old-age feels more like a midlife crisis. So Count did what any sensible male vampire would - frosted his tips, got a rad face tat and put the best part of his retirement money in a get-rich-quick scheme. You shouldn’t let your daughter near vampires in general, but avoid this one especially." | - | |
Old Derpy Chicken | "He still doesn't know, he still doesn't care." | - | |
Old Viking | "Though many of his friends have already gone to Valhalla, Old Viking is still going strong. Well, as strong as one can go when most of his limbs have been replaced by pegs. His armor was also specially designed with extra cushioning, to avoid any more damage done to his person. In any case, you shouldn’t underestimate Old Viking, because he may be old, but he’s still got plenty of fight left in him… and a bunch of candy in his pockets." | - | |
Old Zombi | "Being a senior citizen isn’t easy, especially when you’re a zombie. With no arms and legs, mobility becomes a problem. But although he may have lost a limb or two with old age, his insatiable hunger for brains has only grown stronger. Good thing for him, it’s much easier to sneak up on people in a wheelchair than by shambling towards them." | - | |
Trapper | "Everything Evan MacMillan did was to protect his father. Well, mostly everything. When the fortune-seekers came knocking, Evan made sure to send them scampering away. However, word soon spread throughout the estate that the son’s cruelty ran even deeper than the father’s. They never managed to prove that Evan led those men into the tunnels before detonating the explosives and sealing them to their fate…" |
