**Future! BF** (Boyfriend for his full name) is a Crystal User and human character and the titular main protagonist in Future Night Funkin' and its spin-off title, Future Night Funkin': Above the Future. He's often portrayed as a main, major, supporting, minor, cameo or mentioned character in other FutureNF spin-offs, Future Night Funkin': Alternate Future, Future Night Funkin': Below the Future & Future Night Funkin': Beyond the Future.

Like many other Boyfriends, he's born on Earth as a human in his young musician years who’s trying to date Girlfriend, but the Dearest Family are attempting murder in his life and to gain approval, he’s willing to sing off against them and many others in his way for their personal reason. In Future Night Funkin’, Boyfriend is a human-turned-Crystal User after being fused with the Spectral Green Crystal, who became a successful and famous musician who’s now Girlfriend’s husband and Keith & Grace's father and regardless of the events he’s having with the Dearest Family and his dangerous life, he’ll always counter by all means.

While his true voice is not revealed, his vocals are provided by Issac “Kawai Sprite” Jacob Garcia and his sound effects were provided by David “PhantomArcade” Brown in the base game, however, he's not voiced by anyone as of now in Future Night Funkin'.

## Personality

### Original

Portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts and his girlfriend, Boyfriend is a determined, confident and cocky character who loves to sing and show off his skills to the public. Due to his high determination, he is persistent about reaching his goals and won’t let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death.

Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen with Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, making him overconfident about his ability and afraid of virtually nothing (except lightning), including the fact that he believes that he’s very confident enough of beating anyone up. He doesn’t seem to take situations seriously as if he finds it as a joke, which explains his low levels of empathy, unintelligence and high fearlessness. Despite his low empathy, he has street smarts, as he knows how to heal people with good intuition and because he’s fearless, he gets bored of playing scary games, as he once almost fell asleep while playing one game (presumably games like Dead By Daylight or Five Nights at Freddy’s).

Boyfriend is an ADHD and ASD person; oftentimes, he will simply beep at strangers instead of talking, giving the impression that he’s rather eccentric, although he often does communicate verbally with those whom he is close with. He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a musician and freestyle rapper. Furthermore, he is never found without his red cap. He is shown living in a messy place as he is never seen washing his clothes and continuously moving a pile of trash around his room depending on his needs, suggesting he has executive dysfunction. His object permanence is also not very good at times. He has a poor concept of time, too, which is a common ADHD trait. He doesn't know very well how to handle money, either, as when he has to pay for a hamburger, he will pay less than what the hamburger costs.

Boyfriend seems quite willing to do immoral things; from tricking iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes, getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs, and vandalizing PlayPlaces, Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways.

### Future Night Funkin'

In Future Night Funkin’, Boyfriend is now shown to be different from his mainstream counterpart, where he’s starting to act mature and a playful and caring father towards Keith and Grace. He’s started to become more interactive towards those who are close to him and even to those who never got to meet him face to face and encouraging people in the right way possible, even talking to people in the right way possible when they feel down. Boyfriend started to act intelligent and responsible as he tries to take things as seriously as possible, however, aside from his newly developed personality, he still has some side of his old personality; he is still cocky, overconfident, tauntful, immoral, low empathic and cluelessly careless towards situations involving things that are completely wrong.

Prior to Keith and Grace's birth, his overconfidence was at its high state, still truly believing that he can beat everyone, rather if his opponent is stronger than him by look or he believes his opponent is weak and giving them one hit is enough to give them defeat while not realizing their true nature is considerably strong despite their weak look. His cockiness is also the same level as his overconfidence, using his trait to highly taunt his opponents to increase the danger level to fit his mood.

Because he’s unintelligent, Boyfriend can sometimes show his childish side, curiously presses or touches things that he’s not allowed to press or touch and approaches against things that look very suspicious. He used to have executive dysfunction, but thanks to Pico, he’s no longer seen living in a messy place and moving a pile of trash around his room depending on his needs, making his dysfunction level being at its low state but aside his dysfunction being at its low state, his ADHD is still being part of him, however, 6 ADHD traits are being managed by Pico (mainly, time management, forgetfulness, impulsivity, fatigue, hyperfocus and disorganization).

Unlike his original self of how he acts immoral, Future! BF’s immorality is shown to be a different type. Instead of holding stores hostage for free food and vandalizing PlayPlaces, Boyfriend is considerably rude in his own immoral style, while he still tricks iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes, showing him how inappropriate he is during interaction with other people but tries to do so by Pico’s advices. Boyfriend doesn’t care about things that are completely wrong; not being concerned about his family and friends, delaying time to save people who are in danger and encouraging people in a wrong way, even talking to people in a wrong way when they feel down, almost making him a villain and a jerk, however, while being a jerk, he’s not a villain. Boyfriend is actually a hero but with a mental illness and misguided at the same time. While being immoral, he still has good intuition aside from his low empathy.

## History

### Pre-Future Night Funkin'

Boyfriend’s past is shown to be the same as his original self, entered a school where Pico entered and started dating but broke up after the school-shooting incident, dropping out of college by disinterest to pursue a rap career and later meets and falls in love with Girlfriend through fingerboard tricks; started dating each other then the Dearest Family tried to kill him, leading the family to accept him into the family, and others tried but failed by personal reasons and more. Sometime around before 10 years could be passed, Pico become roommates with Boyfriend and Boyfriend started to gain fame as he started releasing albums, made on Ableton.

### Future Night Funkin': My Demons

10 years later, Boyfriend discovers Girlfriend’s disappearance and tries to find her but everything was effortless then he receives a note from Girlfriend to climb upon Pico’s DJ stage. Right after he climbed on the stage, he reunites with Girlfriend and she reveals that she was preparing a love song for the duo. When Dearest finds out about their upcoming marriage, he doesn’t feel welcome at all and tries to drop their marriage plans, however, Boyfriend was able to win and walked away from the stage while thinking when he will start his honeymoon and leaving Dearest in rage.

### Future Night Funkin': New Spooky Month

After finally getting married to Girlfriend & giving birth to Keith in 2034 and Girlfriend becoming pregnant again in 2037, the two start their Halloween alongside Pico and Darnell for Keith's best and possible candy fest. The duo was led by Pico and Darnell to be introduced to a haunted mansion built by none other than Skid and Pump for the newcomers to experience the upcoming horrors of the mansion. After the horrifying events, they meet 4 figures who turned out to be Skid, Pump, Linterna & Muerte and they have a friendly-sing-off. After their sing-off, the trio was introduced to Mr. Lemon and was led to the candyland but was all a trap to eat the trio; luckily, Monster was stopped and the trio managed to run away.

## Powers and Abilities

Boyfriend’s powers remain the same as his original self, putting his own twist on the songs of others in an instant and making his own music and capable of performing physical combat, however, thanks to touching the Spectral Green Crystal, it gave Boyfriend new powers he never had in his life. The most common is crystal manipulation, regenerative healing factor, immortality, invincibility, virus immunity and emotion empowerment but the uncommon is music-based powers.

* **Music Empowerment:** As he’s fused with the Spectral Green Crystal, Boyfriend can be empowered by music and the more he uses music, he becomes stronger, however, it depends on the genre that represents human emotion and while other genres can empower him, Boyfriend can be more empowered by his favorite genre.
* **Dance Combat:** Boyfriend is capable of performing physical combat but through infusing dance in his physical attacks having the ability to move from one attack to the next effortlessly while being graceful and elegant. He can dodge attacks easily and execute combat with little problem. He performs this move when he feels like it, challenged to a combat-based dance battle or when he’s surrounded.
* **Emotion Empowerment:** As the Crystals can be empowered by emotion, Spectral Green Crystal can be empowered by excitement or by music’s genre that represents emotions. For example, rock, heavy metal for anger, lullaby for exhaustion, eerie for fear, etc.
* **Sonic Scream:** Boyfriend can emit an extremely powerful scream for a variety of purposes from their vocal cord and mouth, typically for offensive purposes, like causing destruction. Sonic Scream must be required to be extremely loud and have a perfect aim. Once he starts, Boyfriend can’t stop until all the energy is released.
* **Music Empathy:** Boyfriend can gain different abilities by listening to or playing different kinds of music. Alternatively, he can utilize magical or high-tech instruments to achieve special effects. He prefers to use the guitar the most to achieve special effects.
* **Infection:** Judging by his appearance, Boyfriend can infect anything by singing, physically through touching and biting or if they’re close enough to his range but while it changes their appearance, it doesn’t change their personality thanks to Girlfriend’s magic, however, they're only in brief moments and temporarily at the same time and after their Halloween honeymoon, the effects wore off afterwards.

## Weaknesses

* **Low Intelligence:** Prior to Keith & Grace's birth, Boyfriend is unintelligent, making him gullible, sometimes showing his childish side, curiously presses or touches things that he’s not allowed to press or touch and approaches against things that look very suspicious. Currently, Boyfriend is starting to act intelligent if he can.
* **Overconfidence:** His overconfidence is at its high state, still truly believing that he can beat everyone, rather if his opponent is stronger than him by look or he believes his opponent is weak and giving them one hit is enough to give them defeat while not realizing their true nature is considerably strong despite their weak look. His cockiness is also the same level as his overconfidence, using his trait to highly taunt his opponents to increase the danger level to fit his mood. He doesn’t realize that his overconfidence is putting him, Girlfriend or anyone who’s close to him in danger. Even after Keith & Grace's birth, he's still overconfident till these days.

## Trivia

### General

* Boyfriend still retains all of his facts from his original self as this version of Boyfriend is the future version of the original Boyfriend, however, some of the facts were removed from his personality due to TimeoutArtist finding them as a joke more than a serious thing. For instance, like to perform immoral acts depicted by the FNF devs, can defeat Darth Vader but not Goku, helding McDonald’s hostage, etc. This makes him an alternate futuristic version of Boyfriend.
	+ His immoral act performance was later readded and altered to fit Timeout’s mood rather than being immorally destructive.
* Boyfriend was meant to have a personality that is completely out of his original self’s personality, however, this was scrapped, possibly due to the community giving Boyfriend an out-of-character personality too much for their mods, including Girlfriend.
* Oddly enough, Boyfriend’s design is similar to Unlabeled Anime Mod’s Boyfriend design when facing against Nagatoro. This is a coincidence.
* His old design is taken from a Pinterest image that Timeout found and was inspired by.
	+ Boyfriend’s new design is based on the Pinterest images he found during his searching time for Boyfriend’s new design inspiration.
	+ The white prohibition mark on his torso is based on Whitty’s white x mark on his torso.
	+ Iconically, NG stands for Newgrounds.
		- For Boyfriend’s original design, he has the NG sign placed on the middle of his bottoms rather than the back of his hat.
	+ The prohibition shape and the buckle was meant to be gold but due to a mistake while finishing Boyfriend’s new design, this was forced to be colored in silver (prohibition sign) and gray (buckle).
	+ Out of all of the characters, Boyfriend had the most time Timeout spent on redesigning Blue, making him 48 hours and 15 minutes in record, however, by contrast, it didn’t take him 2 days to make his design but rather taking more than 2 days to make.
* Originally, Boyfriend was meant to be an angel like how others interpreted him as an angel, but this was scrapped. Despite the angel idea being scrapped, a wing idea is still being considered.
* His old render is based on Boyfriend’s old left hype pose, made by P-halv.
	+ His new render is based on one of Sonic’s renders from Sonic Adventure 2.
* From his old lore, Boyfriend was going to be couples with Girlfriend after saving her from a truck crash but due to narrative change, this was later changed to what is now and known.
* Boyfriend’s design in Week 2 is heavily based on Corruption, which would explain the look and color scheme.
	+ Contrary to popular belief, Week 2 won’t be heavily based on Corruption and Boyfriend was the one who asked Girlfriend to turn him into a monster for Halloween because he thought it would look cool and scary at the same time and also fitting for the Halloween occasion.
		- Additionally, his appearance is based on his Week 5 design with his parka unzipped. This is a reference to after breaking free from the Corruption in Week ???, he’s back to his normal look with his parka being unzipped. This design is still being used throughout the Girlfriend, Pico and Tankman Week and so-on.
			* However, Boyfriend’s parka didn’t have a zipper closely resembling Whitty’s zipper. It was a zipper in black lines in his original Week 5 and Corruption design.
* His render is based on Finn’s left pose from Pibby: Apocalypse in Come Along With Me during the POV.
* Boyfriend was going to be aged around 29-30 years old but due to a sudden discovery about Spooky Month taking place in 2012, as seen in Spooky Month 3 - Unwanted Guest, and the Spookeez being born in the 2000s (2004 for Skid, 2005 for Pump), Boyfriend's age was changed to 36-37 years old for Week 2 while his current age would be around 39-40 years old.

### Boyfriend

* Boyfriend uses Ableton to compose his songs. This references Kawai Sprite, who also uses Ableton to compose his songs.
* Seeing that he has a ring on his left hand, it’s hinted that Week 2 takes place after Week 4. Additionally, PhantomArcade stated that Week 2 takes place after Week 4 rather than Week 2 taking place after Week 1.
* If Boyfriend met alternate versions of himself, it would go like this:
	+ Original Self: His original self would not recognize him and interact as strangers then by time passes on, they would become friends.
	+ Soft Self: Like how his original self became friends with his soft self, Future would interact with his soft self as friends.
	+ Neo Self: Future would consider his Neo self, “the coolest guy I ever met”.
	+ B3 Self: Like Neo, Future would consider him cool but “Neo but way cooler” or simply, “Drip Goku”.
	+ SNS Self: Future would be confused why his SNS self is not a rapper but GF is, leaving him unaware of the fact that he retired from his career because of a traumatic incident.
	+ HD Self: His HD self would hate Future a lot in usual for his stupidity and whenever he’s in danger, HD would drag and run away with him from the situation Future has been involved with.
	+ D-Side Self: Future would consider his D-Side self, “the edgy guy I ever met” because of his look, mostly his sharp teeth.
	+ Funkin’ MIX Self: Future would consider him as Pico and call him by that name, however, it’s unknown if his MIX self is okay to be called by Pico’s name.
	+ Plants Vs Rappers Self: Future would always have his PVR self, trapped in a cage and feed him with normal food without being aware that zombies need flesh to survive.
	+ Meatcanyon Self (MCM): Future would call his Meatcanyon variation, “the ugliest guy in the world that killed everyone” and perhaps, tell him a story about a ugly barnacle like how Patrick did to tell a story to cheer up Spongebob in Something Smells.
	+ Corruption Self: He would just carry around with him all the time like his pet.
	+ Pibby Self (Infected): He would be concerned why he’s a cartoon character smiling all the time and wants to know how the Darkness gives the infected happiness but in reality, it infects any cartoon characters from cartoon universes that’s canceled or finished. Nonsensically, videogame characters can be corrupted by the Darkness but it’s fanon in the original Pibby series’ case and considered the fandom’s headcanon.
	+ Pibby Self (Survivor): He would like to know where his Girlfriend, Pico and pretty much of the others are.
	+ WI Self: Future would be confused why he looks the same as himself when he was 19 years old and be unaware of the fact that his WI self is actually his great great grandfather.
	+ Trollge Files Self: If he imagined about his TF self having long hair because his hair is longer than his, he would chew his hair for a limited time and not eat it.
	+ Vs. EVIL Impostor Self: Like his D-Side self, Future would consider him “the edgy guy I ever met” because of his look, mostly his sharp teeth.
	+ TMF Self: Future would be concerned why he’s a toy.
	+ Murder Drones Self: Future would be concerned why he’s a robot instead of a human and be unaware that humans are now extinct in the Murder Drones universe.
	+ HF Self: Future would always fly with his HF self and often talk about what trouble he’s gonna cause at Dearest, talk about Girlfriend or their friends from their perspective universe and if he gets the chance to do so, Future would tell him that he has the exact similar hair color to someone else and should be part of the production to talk with the said person who has the similar hair color.
	+ Twinsomnia Self : Future would remind him of his childhood.
