The Insane Quest of Unfathomable Randomness/Characters
WARNING: Loads and Loads of Characters (And loads and loads of spoilers) ahead!
Smoosh
A team of amateur mercenaries collected from across the 69 Worlds for the sole purpose of finding all of the items on Nintendoki's list. Along the way, the team is sually tasked with righting the wrongs set in place by Doosh, as well as coming to terms with their own personal conflicts...all of which is done in a wacky and humorous fashion, of course.
Luna Ravenheart
A princess from an unknown world, Luna was forced to become a member of Smoosh after encountering the group in Japan since Nintendoki wanted her socks (since they can't be removed, she was given the choice of either joining them or having her feet amputated). Despite this, Luna quickly became friends with the other Smoosh members and became a willing member of the team. Much of Luna's past is shrouded in mystery, causing most of the details of her life before meeting Smoosh to be used as plot twists in the story.

A blue blob hailing from the "Planet of Blobs", Mortal can expand to hold anything in his body. He keeps around a Mallet, and has a infinite amount of them. Probably the only member of Smoosh who hasn't shown any romantic interest, but explainable because he's a, you know, blob. He's also began getting character development along with everybody else.

Jack enlisted in the military to gollow in the footsteps of his mother, a test pilot for fighter planes who was killed in an accident during a test flight. Jack is one of the more formidable members of Smoosh, due to the fact that he is armed to the teeth (do chameleons have teeth?) with firearms of all shapes and sizes, and because he is capable of summoning his army troops when in a pinch.

She also had a Servbot, named Ben, who has the ability to transform into a variety of different machines.
- A Female Fox And Her Robot
- The Ace: Female example. No ordinary person could possibly be capable of performing as many jobs as her.
- Broken Ace: Turns out she only took all those jobs to live up to the expectations of her perfectionist family, and having 21 different careers is just as stressful as it sounds.

Frost created by Frost Overlord/Happy Cat
Frost is a warrior, from who-knows-where. He used to be a deity, and at one point was as strong as Nintendoki. However, he was tricked into losing most of his powers upon joining Smoosh, causing him to have a sort of one-sided rivalry towards Nintendoki. He has a army of exploding penguins at his disposal, which follow him loyally. He also created a universe called "Infinite Trophy Case", which is the setting of chapter V.
- A Day in the Limelight: Chapter V.

- Super Mode: A giant, flying, pyrokinetic fox.

A talking dog and captain of the Candy Pirates, Lupez was the self-proclaimed scourge of the 69 Worlds before running into Smoosh. After having his ship hijacked by the heroes, Lupez decides to team up with them for now, but mostly just because he wants to get into Luna's pants.

Nightglide
A robotic girl that was once an orgainic lifeform (probably human, though even she's not sure) until she was transferred into the body of an android. Not much is known about her past, as the memory files stored on her computerized brain were corrupted by a computer virus.
- Action Girl
- Cyborg
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Although this is possibly a justified trope, as having a computerized brain that had its memory files corrupted by a virus seems more plausible than the usual "coconut-to-the-head" form of amnesia.
- Neutral Good
- Pointy Ears
- Robot Girl: Subverted, sort of. While the standard Robot Girl Trope applies to a female robot designed to look extraordinarily attractive, Nightglide's appearance also shows aspects of being designed to look intimidating (though she isn't necessarily bad-looking, there just isn't much emphasis on the "beauty")
- Robo Cam
- Robo Speak
- Swiss Army Appendage: All four of them, actually.
Rose created by Frost Overlord/Happy Cat
One of the Four Overlords along with Frost, Rose was sent to Smoosh to prevent the team's careless actions from causing any more collateral damage.

A Totally Radical teenager who joined the quest after hearing about it from friends. Brought along his dog Buster, too.
Important NPCs
"Allies" encountered by Smoosh during their many (mis)adventures.
Nintendoki
The lazy, arrogant deity who first created the team known as Smoosh to collect all the items on his wishlist. Nintendoki reclines in his own private universe and only shows up on occasion to yell at Smoosh for not finding the items on his list fast enough. It kinda makes you wonder why the members of Smoosh still want to work for him...
- Angst Nuke
- Bad Boss
- Big Bad: Although he's technically the leader of the heroes, he's almost as antagonistic towards them as Segami, if not more so.
- Black and Grey Morality: Segami might be evil, but Nintendoki isn't that much of a nice guy either, seeing as he's willing to order his minions to destroy entire kingdoms just to get what he wants.
- Evil Versus Evil: One could argue that this is what his conflict with Segami boils down to.
- Berserk Button: Losing at video games.
- The Caligula
- The Gods Must Be Lazy: He could easily collect all the items on his list himself if he could just get off his lazy ass and show some initiative.

- Mission Control: via his communication device, the "Nintendoki DS"
- Obfuscating Stupidity: While most of the time he acts like a pompous blowhard, he has shown to be very cunning on a few occasions.
- Otaku
- Pet the Dog: When interacting with Mari and Queeny, he is noticably more respectful and polite, though not quite enough to take him out of Jerkass territory.
- Shout Out: To Nintendo, obviously
- Small Name, Big Ego: As Washington puts it, Nintendoki is about 0.1% divine power and 99.9% hot air.
- You Cannot Grasp the True Form: His appearance is censored for being "too epic for mere mortals to comprehend"...that is, until he finally reveals himself.
- What Could Have Been: Nintendoki was originally going to be a delusioned man who thought he was a god, but snow decided it would be funnier if he was an actual god.
Shigeru Miyamoto
The real-life video game creator Shigeru Miyamoto is present in the Insane Quest as a godlike being who shows up at unexpected times to assist the heroes. His abilities appear to be on par with those of Nintendoki, the only difference being that Miyamoto actually puts his powers to good use.

- Not Quite Dead
- Reality Warper
- Swiss Army Weapon: His Wii Remote, which is capable of transforming into a number of different weapons.

- Team Pet: In a way.
Wyu
A Ninja native to the Kingdom Of Smelly Grapefruit. Wyu first met Smoosh in Chapter II, in which they assisted him in liberate his fellow ninjas from a gang of pirates pirates who were invading his kingdom. At the end of the chapter, Wyu revealed that he was actually a Sharkhorn Dragon in disguise, and offered one of his scales to Smoosh as a sign of gratitude. He is now allied with Master Meowmellow Zepul and the Drunken Ninjas, but due to the fact that he feels he still owes a debt to Smoosh, he allows the group to escape during their initial confrontation.

- But Now I Must Go
- Drunken Master
- Guest Star Party Member
- Pirate: duh.
- Running Gag: His attempts at kidnapping Mortal.
Link
The Hero of Time, defender of Hyrule, bearer of the Triforce of Courage, etc. Link's appearances in The Insane Quest are few and far between, but when he shows up it usually means something big is about to go down. Apparently, 2,000 years ago, Link was tasked by Zelda to protect the Ravenheart family from harm, which likely explains how Luna obtained the Master Sword.
- Big Damn Heroes: In Luna's flashback. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
- Guest Star Party Member: Near the climax of Chapter I.
- Legacy Character: Link has appeared twice so far in The Insane Quest. It's implied that it wasn't the same Link that made these two appearances.
- Suddenly Voiced: Unlike in the Zelda games, where Link was perpetually silent, the Hero Of Time actually gets quite a bit of dialogue in The Insane Quest.
Travis Touchdown
The notorious member of the United Assassins Assosiation. When Travis is first encountered by Smoosh, it is revealed that the assassin is currently training with Miyamoto, who intends to prepare him for his ranked assassin matches that have been sabotaged by Doosh.

Perracious
An amnesiac stuffed animal who's been lost in the corridors of Wafflesworth Manor for years. He may or may not be an old friend of Luna's who was previously presumed dead.

Doosh
The equal and opposite to Smoosh. With the exception of Sola, who turns out to be Luna's cousin, all of the members of Doosh were Dopplegangers of Smoosh created by Segami in order to inflict as much chaos and destruction into the universe as possible. The team mainly consists of the Bizarro World clones of Smoosh's members, though there have been some exceptions to this rule.
Tropes that apply to more than one member of Doosh
- Artificial Human/Bear/Werewolf/Iguana/Whatever: They are described as being Dopplegangers, beings made of "living data" created using HAX
- Balance Between Good and Evil: Unintentional, but since Dopplegangers are forced to have traits that contrast those of the "Original", that means they also have the opposite alignment. If an Original becomes evil, his or her Doppleganger will become good, and vise-versa.
- Bizarro World: The main gimmick behind each Doosh member is that they are the complete opposite of their Smoosh counterpart in nearly every way.
- Character Development: An unintentional side effect of their creation, Dopplegangers start out simply having a personality that contrasts the Original's in every way, but eventually they may begin to develop other traits, even those that are similar to the Original's (though it's said to be rare for this to happen)
- Cloning Blues: Implied, though not explicitly stated to be an issue for Dopplegangers.
- Distaff Counterpart / Opposite Gender Clone: Some of the Doosh members are the opposite gender of their Smoosh counterparts, such as Ember (Frost), Nie (Ein), and Shi (Jack)
- Evil Twin / Evil Counterpart
- The Psycho Rangers
- Sdrawkcab Name: Many of the Doosh members' names are simply the names of the Smoosh members spelt backwards, such as Eca (Ace), Latrom (Mortal), Nie (Ein), and Eidde (Eddie).
- Synchronization: A sort of one-sided example. If a member of Smoosh dies, there Doosh counterpart ceases to exist. The Smooshers, however, seem to be able to kill the Doosh members without suffering any ill effects.
Sola Soulhawk
The leader of Doosh and Segami's second-in-command. Sola is the counterpart to Luna Ravenheart, and in one of Luna's flashbacks we learn she is also Luna's cousin.

Latrom
Mortal's Doosh counterpart. so far he has yet to be seen and has only been referred to, so not much is known about him.

- The Brute
- Dissimile: "He kind of looks like Jacob from Literature/{{Twilight}}, but not!"

The Cheshire Cat
The newest addition to Doosh, introduced in Chapter V. The Cat's reasons for joining Doosh are uncertain, although he appears to be convinced that Smoosh are nothing more than vile underlings of the "evil" god Nintendoki and must be punished accordingly. Since his debut as a boss character in Chapter V, it's hard to say whether or not he'll ever be seen again.
- Alternate Character Interpretation: According to Word of God, The Insane Quest's universe exists seperately from the canon Pandora Hearts universe, so the IQ universe's Cheshire may deviate from the "canon" one's behavior.

The Original Smoosh
The first team of mercenaries assembled by Nintendoki, two thousand years prior to the "current" Smoosh. Not much is known about them at this point, except that, like the current Smoosh, they were tasked with collecting a list of items for Nintendoki, and were somehow banished to another dimension after pillaging Luna's home world in search of the last item on said list: the Miracle Thread.
Dolphin
A mysterious gunman last seen searching for the final item on Nintendoki's list. He battles Link in Luna's flashback, right before the castle they are inside of comes crashing down around them.
- Big Damn Heroes: Subverted in Luna's flashback. Right when Sola is about to begin torturing Luna, Dolphin jumps in, only to threaten to kill them both unless they tell him where to find the Miracle Thread. It then becomes double subverted when Link shows up to stop him.

- The Gunslinger
- Non-Indicative Name: As far as we can tell, he has nothing to do with aquatic mammals of any kind.

Another member of the Original Smoosh forced to spend an eternity with Mari.

Other Villains
Other miscellaneous villains and antagonists Smoosh has run into.

The evil deity and arch-rival of Nintendoki, Segami is the primary antagonist in the Insane Quest. In the same fashion that Nintendoki created Smoosh to do his bidding, Segami created Doosh to oppose the heroes.
- Angst Nuke: Whenever he gets angry.
- Big Bad
- Evil Counterpart: To Nintendoki
- For the Evulz: His true goal is currently unknown, but being a deity of pure evil, this might be his goal.
- God of Evil
- Theme Naming: Nintendoki and Segami's names are a Shout-Out to the rivalry that occurred between Nintendo and Sega during the 1980's, respectively.
- You Cannot Grasp the True Form
Chibi
The octopus-like monster encountered by Smoosh during their stay in Japan. Chibi was a pet owned by the pimp known as Big Mac until he was slain by the heroes. Later, Smoosh ran into Chibi again in Hell, only now as a zombie.
- Advancing Wall of Doom: As Zombie Chibi
- Combat Tentacles
- Implacable Man: In his zombified form.
- Memetic Molester: In-universe, Smoosh is often wary of him for this reason.
- Naughty Tentacles: Subverted. Or is it?
- Neutral Evil
- Our Zombies Are Different
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Mostly due to...
- Villainous Crossdresser: He tried to kill Miyamoto for stealing his panties.
Bobby Kotick
The real-life CEO of Activision, The Insane Quest portrays Kotick as a greedy, money-obsessed tyrant (which isn't too far off the mark, actually), as well as the devil himself. After fighting Smoosh, he was reduced to his true form, a Gollum-like creature, and presumed dead. He was also seen in Luna's flashback.

- Crowning Moment of Funny: "Welcome to Hell, Fuckers!"
- The Dragon: To Kotick, albeit grudgingly.
- Dragon Ascendant: After Kotick isd out of the picture, Hades takes over Hell and changes its name back to the Underworld.
- Unfortunately, his reign doesn't last very long, as he's brutally curbstomped by Pincus two chapters later.
- Everybody Hates Hades: Subverted. Sure, he's a total Jerkass, but he's actually the lesser of two evils, and after he takes over
HellThe Underworld it is implied that he intends to make it a much more bearable place. - Everything's Better with Rainbows: He certainly seems to think so.
- Hijacked by Jesus: Analysed- When the polytheistic Greek and Roman religions were abolished in favour of Christianity, Hades ended up being demoted from god of the Underworld to a subordinate of the devil, much to his chagrin.
- The Starscream: He turns on Kotick and helps Smoosh defeat him.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: He was a Jerkass in the disney movie to begin with, but the Insane Quest manages to take it Up to Eleven.
- Wild Card

- Hive Mind: Possibly, as the individual cotton balls have shown to behave on their own.
- Satellite Character: Becomes one to Mortal after being defeated.
Mark Pincus
The founder of game company Zynga and the newest ruler of Hell. Pincus's original plan was to rise to power by taking out Kotick, only to discover that Smoosh and Hades have beaten him to it. This doesn't phase him, though, as he just gets rid of Hades instead.
- Curb Stomp Battle: Delivers one to both Zombie Chibi and Hades
- Dark Is Edgy / Dark Is Evil: Most of his powers seen so far are darkness-related
- Expy: His personality is tweaked a bit to resemble that of Light Yagami.
- Eviler Than Thou: He's about twice as big of a threat as Kotick ever was.
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: "I'm Mark Pincus, motherfucker." *gunshot*
- Somewhat of a subversion, as the person he shot didn't actually die.

Washington's twin brother, a brutish thug and black market sock salesman with a gangster motif. He was hired by Nintendoki to retrieve Luna's socks.
- Animorphism: He was transformed into an anthropomorphic shark.

Orlando Greaves
A laid-back hippie whom Smoosh met in Chapter IV. Greaves is a psychic, but his powers come with a twist: he can see into the future, but only when he's stoned.
