Top 10 Surprisingly Dark Fictional Characters

The Top Ten
1 Alphys - Undertale Alphys is an adorably dorky, lab-coat-wearing, bespectacled, yellow-skinned lizard scientist who resides in her lab in Hotland in the critically acclaimed cult classic RPG known as Undertale, wherein she partakes in the daily act of watching insane amounts of anime and having a vast majority of the game's plot-related spoilers attached to her. Plot twists aside, however, she is also well known for creating the fabulous entertainment robot Mettaton, as well as having a massive crush on a young fish woman named Undyne, thus creating one of the most beloved lesbian couples in fiction.

When you first meet Alphys in Undertale, you can't tell how depressing her back story is. She just seems shy, and friendly. She has much more to her, and I can't help but feel bad for her. Poor Alphys...

The character with the worst mistakes in the game. Her life is desperate, she is too afraid to live. But in the genocide run, she finally breaks out of this, and saves everyone she can.

We love her. (who wouldn't? ) her story is one of courage, love and friendship. but yes, it's dark and makes me cry just thinking about it.

Especially dark when she commits suicide (based on your choices).

2 GLaDOS - Portal

Perhaps...but she still is one funny character

3 Handsome Jack - Borderlands 2 Handsome Jack is the main antagonist of both Borderlands 2 and Tales from the Borderlands and the deuteragonist of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

14 Sans - Undertale Sans or Sans the Skeleton is a character in the 2015 RPG Undertale created by Toby Fox. He is a lazy, pun-loving skeleton who is a supporting protagonist in the "pacifist" and "neutral" routes of Undertale, and a heroic antagonist/final boss of the "genocide" route. He is known for his incredibly difficult boss fight, bad puns, and the phrases "geeetttt dunked on!!!" and "you're gonna have a bad time." He is also named after the font "comic sans." Known for also being Ness from the Mother series. (known as Earthbound in Western territories.)

Sans is a darkish character. Sure, he's kinda cute, but he obviously knows more than he lets on. I'm surprised he's not higher up on this list.

You think he's cute? You need to go to a mental hospital.

He wants Gaster that's all.
