This article contains content that may bring users with past trauma, to something that might cause a physical and/or mental reaction. Viewer discretion is advised!
Reason: The outdated story of Updike contains saddening themes. He constantly tries to hunt down Whitty which gives him tremendous amount of anxiety and stress. Updike also feels sympathy for Whitty even if he is hunting him down.

― Updike
Gabriel Updike, or just simply Updike, is a character created by sock.clip.
Updike debuted as a secret character in the Vs. Whitty mod. However, due to sock.clip now wishing to keep Whitty and Updike separate, Updike is no longer canon to Whitty's lore. Therefore, some information on this page is no longer accurate.
Appearance
Updike is a humanoid, with white curly hair resembling the shape of cloud. He has prominent curled-up bangs which resemble a unibrow to some extent. He wears a white long-sleeved button-up shirt, a white partially buttoned-up jacket with four dark grey buttons on the front, white long-legged pants, a dark grey tie, and white shoes. He also wears a black glove and holds a microphone in his right hand, while his left hand is on his back. In his dark form, he is shown with mostly inverted colours, and his eyes disappear.
Backstory
It is unknown how Updike was born or how he came into existence.
Updike was originally a wealthy weatherman, but he would later become a leader of a highly specialized taskforce that would hunt down various monsters. He isn't a cold-hearted killer, and would feel sad about some problems of his own.
Trivia
- Since sock.clip, the creator of Updike, is still a minor, do not make NSFW of Updike.[1]
- He was supposed to come out with the original release of the Vs. Whitty week, but due to time constraints, it couldn't happen. Months later, he was added in update v6.9.0. However, removed in definitive edition due to him not wanting to be associated with Whitty
- It is most likely that Girlfriend is handcuffed because Updike knows she's a demon.
- However, it seems she can use her powers without using her hands, so this might be useless, unknown to Updike.
- When the lights turn off, all three characters' (Boyfriend, Girlfriend and Updike) eyes disappear and they have a literal black-and-white color scheme. It's unknown if this is a power that Updike has, or if it's a stylistic choice.
- Contrary to his appearance, Updike is not a cloud, he's just really hairy.
- When Updike is sad, the pigment of his hair/fur darkens, resembling a storm cloud.
- Regarding his name:
- Updike is the first Friday Night Funkin' mod character to have a name that starts with a "U". With his being of Dutch origin, it means someone who has lived on a dike. (which doesn't apply to him, of course...)
- His full name is "Gabriel Updike", he's just always referred to by a surname basis.
- His name used to be "Updyke", until it was changed, due to it containing an offensive slur. (The name in general used to have that considered as an alternate spelling.)
- There are no plans for Updike to have a full week at the moment.[2]
- In the game files, all of Updike's assets are hidden (which "Show hidden items" needs to be enabled in File Explorer to view them), except for his icons in the "shared/images" folder, for some reason.
- Updike is surprisingly good at ballet.
- Updike's blood is blue.
- Remorse and Updike will NOT be returning in the Definitive Edition mod as Sock.clip wishes to separate Updike from Whitty.
- However, a new set of icons for him were made, which led to the prediction that he would get his own mod.
- This however, released as a late april fools joke (make your comparisons if you want)
- However, a new set of icons for him were made, which led to the prediction that he would get his own mod.
Cameos in other mods
Note: All of these cameos are not canon to Updike's story.
- In Vs. Adam, He appears in the crowd of Phase 3.
- In The Date Week, he appears in the background during Heartbass before the beat drop. He walks to the left side of the screen, pauses and looks around before noticing and trying to assassinate Whitty, only to be suddenly thwarted by a large crowd.
