Evil Paper is Paper's evil alter ego. He first appeared in "Double Digit Desert". He made his last appearance in the main series in "Inanimate Smackdown", where Paper threw a piano at him in his headspace, and hasn't been seen since. However, there is a short glimpse of him that can be seen in "Seas The Day", where he shows up for a few frames during Paper's outburst. He is also mentioned in "Through No Choice of Your Own" and “Fan the Flames”.

Due to sharing the same voice actor as Paper, he is currently voiced by Jackson S.

Appearance

Just like his original counterpart, Evil Paper is a lined sheet of looseleaf paper with three holes punched into his side. His appearance is mostly the same as Paper's with some differences. He has large, angry looking eyes with red pupils that are often shown to face in opposite directions, a condition known as strabismus. He is also shown with a lower eyelid that has a light pink color to it, which may be the eyelid's "skin". He also has a unibrow which is black, thick, and always furrowed. There are lines surrounding his eyes to represent extremeness, erratic behavior and hysteria.

In the remaster, Evil Paper is now able to move both his pupils and his eyebrows, instead of them staying stagnant. He no longer has his pink eyelid, and his unibrow is just his eyebrows furrowed together, since when he raises them they are completely separate.

In his brief appearance in the short, "Seas the Day", he shares the same body design as Paper, but has alterations to the design of his face; he no longer has red pupils and the angry unibrow, but still has opposite-facing pupils which now resemble cartoon googly eyes. He is no longer shown with a pink eyelid, and the lines around his eyes have been reduced to one short line, giving him a simplistic, cartoony appearance to reflect the art style used in the short. (Though it is unknown if this is a reference to him or a full reappearance.)

Personality

Evil Paper tends to front whenever Idiotic Island is mentioned or when Paper gets physically hurt, though it may only be blunt force damage that causes this, since Paper walked into a cactus in "Double Digit Desert" and showed no signs of turning evil. In the physical world, he usually speaks with Paper's voice with a somewhat angry tone, but during the headspace scene in "Inanimate Smackdown", he has a different voice, which sounds lower than Paper's voice. He is shown to be extreme, hot-headed and violent (but has better grammar than Paper usually does, for some reason), often resulting to physically and verbally attacking contestants such as Pickle and OJ. However, as he will mostly attack other people against Paper's own will, he can only hurt people when he believes he or Paper have been threatened, or when Paper is encouraging it (such as when they killed Balloon while co-conscious, as Paper swore he would kill someone earlier on in "A New Stage in The Game"). Evil Paper is distrusting of everyone around him, especially OJ. An example of this hatred is when he immediately votes for OJ to be eliminated in "Inanimate Smackdown" when he gets the chance.

Remastered Evil Paper is somewhat similar to his original counterpart, in both attempted and successful murder, but seems to be much more ecstatic over harming others, showing more signs of joy the original has ever shown.

Trivia

• He is triggered by the words 'Idiotic Island' or any other mention of Paper's elimination.
  • Also when someone hurts Paper, such as during Inanimate Smackdown, when Evil Paper is triggered into front by Pickle punching him, or getting hit in the face with a ball.
• Evil Paper does not actually like the name "Evil Paper", due to his reaction towards OJ in "Inanimate Smackdown"
  • This scene also shows that while Paper is not aware of what happened when he turns evil, Evil Paper is aware when Paper is normal.
• Evil Paper's tendency to switch personalities and attack people against Paper's will is somewhat similar to Yin-Yang. However, Unlike Yin-Yang, who are two characters combined in one body, Evil Paper and Paper are purely psychological elements.
• In a Twitter post, Brian Koch^[1] said he would like checkers.
