Reason: Aliasing various "FNF mod fancharacters" to indicate their owners instead of being tied to the friday_night_funkin' game.
Explanation: Friday Night Funkin' is a "game" that's more like Minecraft or Fortnite in its execution where you can make whatever you want for the game in the game's style. Various "mods" [which are actually miniature fangames in different engines] are made featuring characters either made for the purpose of the mod, or inserted in from separate media [such as Pokemon, Minecraft, Madness Combat, etc or even someone's pre-existing OC]. As such, many of these characters are OCs outside of the FNF mods they feature in and otherwise have little to do with FNF. Specific characters such as Nikusa, Sarvente, and Ruvyzvat have been separated from the Friday Night Funkin' brand entirely outside of their presence in a fangame. If these characters exist primarily outside of FNF, they should not be tied to FNF in their character tag names.
While many of these tags are small or miniscule at only a few posts, it is smart to alias them to a tag mentioning the character's owner, due to how they are inherently going to be more associated with FNF due to publicity of the game.
Some characters such as Kapi (kapi_(paperkitty)) have already been attributed to their owners instead of to FNF.
Thanks to AurumArt for helping me find some of the owners/origins of these characters.
Additional notes for characters I was unsure of:
Unsure characters
markus_(fnf_mod) - Devs of the mod are collectively known as Novatos Team, and the owner/former owner are Jara and pancito respectively. I'm not sure who designed the character.
grey_(fnf_mod) & shinto_(fnf_mod) - the Hypno's Lullaby mod is worked on by an absolutely massive team without a specific name, so it is unclear who is the actual owner of these characters. They may be owned by Joel_Masada, as Joel is mentioned for fanart of the characters sometimes.
sky_(fnf_mod) & skyblue_(fnf_mod) - Sky has had a history of owner changes. Right now she is currently co-owned by Dra9onSlayer and Alexander0110_, so I wouldn't be sure who to credit. Skyblue's owner is unclear. Sky and Skyblue are technically completely different characters but Skyblue is based on Sky.
qt_(fnf) - Either owned by CountNightshade[designer] or Hazardous24[mod maker].
marty_(fnf) - Having a very hard time finding out what mod this character even belongs to. euthanasia_rabbit.mov_(fnf_mod) - "Appears in Wednesday's Infidelity, meant to be Box Funkin's take on a D-sides remix of one of the songs." Character owner is unknown.
henry_heart_(fnf_mod) - Unable to find the owner of this character.
There's also various AU/different designs of official FNF characters, which I won't be touching on right now.
