(The Ink Demon) • Looks: A horrifying, skeletal figure made entirely of melting black ink. He has a crescent-shaped head with horns, a permanent, terrifying grin, and one oversized, malformed hand. His eyes are covered by dripping ink. • Personality: Malevolent, silent, and relentlessly aggressive. He is a soulless entity born from a failed ritual, driven entirely by a desire to hunt, terrify, and rule over the ink-corrupted studio.

• Looks: Henry's physical appearance is never fully shown in-game as he is the first-person protagonist. He is an older man, dressed in mid-20s formal attire consisting of a button-up shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a vest, and trousers. • Personality: Calm, determined, and practical. Despite the nightmare around him, Henry remains focused on escaping and uncovering the truth. He shows deep regret for his past choices regarding the studio.

• Looks: In his prime, he is a sharp-dressed, charismatic studio executive. In reality, he is an elderly, frail man bound to a wheelchair, surrounded by the remnants of his failed empire. • Personality: Obsessive, manipulative, and deeply ambitious. Joey is a visionary driven by a toxic desire for perfection, willing to sacrifice his employees' sanity and lives to make his cartoon creations "live."

• Looks: A tall, anthropomorphic cartoon wolf wearing overalls and white gloves. He is covered in ink, has a pie-cut eye design, and walks with a slight slouch. • Personality: Gentle, timid, and fiercely loyal. Boris does not speak but shows deep kindness to Henry, offering him shelter, sharing food, and acting as a comforting companion in a hostile world.

(Susie Campbell) • Looks: A twisted, monstrous version of the cartoon Alice Angel. One side of her face is beautifully human-like, while the other side is melted, decaying, and deformed, exposing her teeth. She wears a black dress and a melting halo. • Personality: Vain, psychotic, and deeply insecure. Driven mad by her physical imperfections, she is obsessively desperate to reclaim her "beauty" by harvesting parts from other ink creatures.

• Looks: A much more perfected, warrior-like version of Alice Angel. She possesses a clean, human-like face, neatly styled hair, a leather strap vest, and carries a makeshift sword. She wears a pristine halo. • Personality: Kind, brave, and protective. Unlike Susie, Allison retained her humanity and morals. She is wary of strangers but ultimately risks her safety to help Henry defeat the evils of the studio.

• Looks: A battle-hardened version of Boris the Wolf. He features a mechanical robotic right arm, a stern expression with a pipe-cut eye, and carries a heavy wrench as a weapon. • Personality: Cynical, untrusting, and quiet. Tom is highly pragmatic and initially views Henry as a liability. However, beneath his gruff exterior, he is deeply protective of Allison.

• Looks: A muscular, shirtless humanoid figure made completely of ink. He wears dirty yellow overalls and a cracked, stained cartoon Bendy mask to hide his featureless ink face. • Personality: Fanatical, unhinged, and dramatic. The former music director completely lost his sanity to the ink, forming a religious cult centered around worshipping the Ink Demon as his "Lord" and savior.

(Norman Polk) • Looks: A lanky, completely black ink monster with a vintage film projector seamlessly fused into his head. Film strips wrap around his torso, and a bright light emanates from his lens eye. • Personality: Beast like, territorial, and mindless. He wanders the darkest areas of the studio, violently attacking anything that enters his line of sight or interrupts his aimless patrolling.

• Looks: As a human, he is a young, average-looking studio janitor dressed in standard maintenance coveralls, usually holding a wrench or a mop. • Personality: Relaxed, easily frustrated, and observant. He acts as the grounded, everyday perspective of the studio, frequently complaining about his job and leaving audio logs ending with his famous catchphrase: "I'm outta here!"
