Spoilers for Undertale ahead

The Main Characters

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

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Amazing Technicolor Population: Simpsons yellow in the light world, blue-skinned in the Dark World.
Ambiguous Gender: Similarly to Undertale's protagonist, Kris is referred to as 'them'.
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.
Composite Character: Has aspects of both Frisk and the Fallen Child on their design and personality.
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.

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

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

The Bully: Starts off as this.
Face Heel Turn: Played with: she joins Lancer, but as he is a massive Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain 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.

A black goat-like monster who looks like Asriel. He is one of the main charachters and helps guide Kris and Susie through the dark world

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Adorkable: Just try watching him and not want to give him a hug.
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.
Foil:
- He has a similar role to Flowey, being the initial "guide" to the player, but has Asriel's personality.
- Also 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 like the first game. Spades King manipulates that belief to lower his guard.

The king of Darkness and the Big Bad of the first chapter.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

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 is simply a sadistic and cowardly Jerkass.

Demonic Possession: Does this to Kris at the end of Chapter 1.
Walking Spoiler: The fact their in the game is already a Collosal Spoiler. The fact they posses Kris is an even bigger one.
