FNF x Nefarious is a mod directed by CaptainRyuji, and uploaded to GameBanana and Game Jolt by Renx The Hedgehog. As its name implies, the mod features characters and locations from the 2017 video game Nefarious.

Boyfriend's main opponent in this mod is Crow. However, the player is given the ability to play as Crow instead, referencing his role in Nefarious.

{{Quote|Stop me if you've heard this one before: Bad guy crashes party, kidnaps princess, makes dramatic exit. Plucky, handsome hero gives chase. Epic quest ensues. But, funny story… Yeah, I'm the bad guy!|Crow|Nefarious (game)}} Crow is the main protagonist and main villain of Nefarious. Within "FNF x Nefarious", he reprises his roles as both villain and playable character.

Origin
Crow is the villain protagonist of Nefarious, an indie game in which you play as the bad guy on his quest for world domination. Over the course of the original game, you play as the dastardly Crow, kidnapping princesses from each kingdom to harness their royal powers for your ultimate weapon, the Doom Howitzer, while crushing the heroes who dare stand in your way.

The franchise currently lives on as a weekly webcomic, following the events of Nefarious post-game.

Appearance
Crow is a human male of average height whose right arm has been replaced by an oversized robotic prosthetic of his own making. His trademark purple armor consists of a bulky chest plate with three vertical indentations, arm guards, and boots, under which he wears a red segmented bodysuit. The front of his open-faced helmet includes a visor marked by a white 'X', atop which are a pair of orange headlamps. Said visor can slide down to cover his face. Underneath the helmet, he has dirty blonde hair in a mid-length shaggy bob, with golden eyes. Crow also has a black, mask-like birthmark covering his mid-face that can be mistaken for a shadow.

Crow's sprite carries Girlfriend on his shoulder, very similar to how he carries his captives in Nefarious.

Personality (Nefarious Game)
Crow is an egomaniacal villain who loves his job and may be a smidge insane. He takes great pride in his evil accomplishments, openly admitting his nefarious deeds to all within earshot. He is also, very self-aware. Expect witty rebuttals and snide commentary from a man who knows all the villain tropes in the book. Though he is extremely tenacious and dedicated to his craft, Crow can be adorkably naïve when working outside of his element.

Relationship
Crow is dating Becky in this mod, unlike official canon (where their one date ended in citywide destruction and a murder attempt, after which they decided to keep their relationship 'purely professional'). This is one of many fanmade deviations from the FnF x Nefarious lore.

 * -|Becky=

Becky is Crow's secretary.

As his right-hand woman, she manages the HR department along with many other housekeeping duties aboard the ship, and aids Crow with his schemes.

Appearance
Becky is a dark-skinned young woman with long waist-length white hair and straight bangs. She bears a single beauty mark on her right cheek and uses minimal make-up, though occasionally she will wear pale-colored lipstick. She wears a brown coat with a high collar that is secured around her waist with an orange cummerbund. Underneath, Becky wears a white business shirt with long frilly sleeves, accompanied by a red tie, orange capri dress pants, and red-pink pumps.

Personality (Nefarious Game)
Becky's evil nature manifests as 'practical ruthlessness', though she has previously committed acts that even her boss considers excessively cruel. Becky is highly disciplined and approaches world domination with a business mindset, unlike her theatrical, showboating boss.

Nefarious had two endings. In the good ending, she becomes frustrated with Crow's change of heart and betrays him, taking the Doom Howitzer for herself. Instead of getting upset, Crow is quite impressed with her ploy... though he and Mayapple ultimately foil her plan to regain his title. There's no bad blood between them after this event, with the only significant change being a dock in Becky's pay.

Relationship
Becky has very strong feelings for her boss, though both she and Crow are very aware that their dysfunctional personalities make it hard for any 'ship to sail,' so to speak.

She is dating Crow in this mod, unlike official canon (where their one date ended in citywide destruction and a murder attempt, after which they decided to keep their relationship 'purely professional'). This is one of many fanmade deviations from the FnF x Nefarious lore.

BECKY'S SPRITE IS OUTDATED
Becky's sprite is not accurate to her canon appearance. BECKY IS NOT LIGHT SKINNED. The issue arose from an in-game discrepancy that was never fixed. The dev team for FnF x Nefarious is well aware and plans to update her skin color, in addition to giving her a full redesign to fit FnF.

Trivia

 * Becky infact is dating Crow
 * Becky is Trans (MTF) This is shown in the title drops.
 * Becky does infact Not want to be doing this whole GF scenario with speakers thus why she looks unamused.

 * -|Mayapple=

Origin
In Nefarious, Cherry Mayapple is the first princess you kidnap. As ruler of Macro City, she has the longest history with Crow and Becky. While their relationship seems hostile at first glance, Mayapple and Crow actually share a fairly healthy and stable friendship.

Relationships
She has been one of Crow's friends since high school, and this friendship has grown even stronger through their working relationship over the past 6 years.


 * -|Tyrone=

Origin
Tyrone is a minion in Nefarious who shows up for one brief scene at the beginning of the game. One of the devs loves this character, so he was placed in the mod as a background character.

is he a god? we'll never know
 * -|Boyfriend=

Appearance
BF in this mod has not been changed from his default appearance.

Origin
The physically stunted beep-boppin' funky man with a single plan, and that is to GET IT ON with his demonic girlfriend. He will rap battle with anyone who gets in his way, and people who don't get in his way. And friends. And sometimes random strangers. Just... anybody, really. If you can sing and girlfriend is there, so will he.

Story
BF is a long time singer in Macro City, After beating Daddy Dearest and various other Newgrounds enemies, he's rocked the streets with his songs. One night while roaming Macro City he was 'challenged' by Princess Mayapple, ruler of Macro City, herself! When the time came, BF and GF headed over to Mayapple's castle for their duel, but on arrival she was nowhere to be found. In truth, she was 'KIDNAPPED' by Crow.

BF and GF left the castle, only to stumble into Crow actively engaging in mischief. Crow is once again kidnapping princesses of power for a doomsday device, and he decides GF's demonic energy would be a perfect substitute! He steals GF away, and BF is on the chase to win her back.

End (Hero)
On Hero Mode, BF foils Crow's scheme for world domination, taking GF and booking it off the Sovereign.

End (Villain)
BF fails to stop Crow and is left ball-broken. However, before Crow activates his doomsday device, GF's parents step in and give the purple villain a hellacious scolding. With violence.}}

Mechanics

 * The princess has been kidnapped... by YOU!: Instead of the usual difficulty settings, Story Mode instead provides "Hero" and "Villain". These settings determine whether you play as Boyfriend or Crow. Your choice will also change dialogue, and the story events of Your End will change drastically.
 * Health Drain: When playing as Crow in Villain mode, Boyfriend will still regain health upon hitting notes, draining yours in the process.
 * Hold on a Split-Second!: At a few points during BOSS and Your End, the scroll speed very briefly slows to a halt.
 * Grenades: During Your End, Boyfriend has to deal with Crow's grenades alongside regular notes. If you're playing as Crow, Boyfriend actually hits some of the grenades.

Trivia

 * In Hero mode's dialogue for BOSS, the line "Talk about low budget flights!" references the opening cutscene of Sonic Adventure 2's Hero Story.
 * The ability to play as Crow by default is a call out to the reverse boss fight mechanics of Nefarious. This is also the first FNF mod where the player gets to play as the antagonist with a separate storyline.
 * Crow's death sequence references his source game's death animation and upgrade menu.
 * Crow's laugh mid-song is derived from audio sampling taken from the Nefarious game.
 * Mega Man jokes in the menu title are an ongoing gag, as people unaware of the fandom frequently mistake Crow for a Mega Man character. It certainly does not help that Crow's design is based off of Bass from the Mega Man series, according to creator Josh Hano.
 * Becky is canonically dark skinned but was portrayed with a light skin tone in-game (due to artist error), hence the discrepancy in her sprite/portrait.
 * The Dearest Family are hot on Crow's Tail after finding out about such...
 * BF hit's grenades on purpose to balance your end to the player and a neat aesthetic
 * Loading screens were meant to be added but couldn't will retunr if possible
 * The mod is no where NEAR canon to Nefarious even if it references a lot, of story and headcanons
