Arthur is a surviving M.A.I. experiment, Vorpal founder, and portal-route ally now headed to VQU with Elmyra for Baron-backed support.
characterCynthiana of the Wilds, known as Boho, is an elven druid who serves as a bridge between Von Queef University and the untamed territories of the Wilds. Her Witchborn animal mimicry lets her borrow senses, instincts, and behaviors from the natural world, making her a subtle but vigilant guardian of ecological balance.
characterBrunk Charleston, known as Bones, is an undead gravekeeper and necromancer bound to the Queefdom Cemetery near Gravenhurst. Once a mortal scholar tied to Von Queef University and the Phlakin Library, he preserved his soul inside his own decaying body and has guarded the dead for centuries.
characterJonah Subramountian, known as Cardinal, believes every disaster is a miracle that arrived before anyone was ready. Raised in a secluded temple of the Creator, the mountain dwarf cleric learned faith, craft, and relentless cheer before a divine mishap carried him to Von Queef University. Now with My Alchemical Romance, Jonah heals wounds, lifts spirits, and meets despair with illegible pamphlets and unwavering conviction. His earthspeaking power steadies the ground beneath his friends, while his joy reminds them why they keep standing.
characterJeff Low, known as Castaway, is the Black Ward’s least intimidating cleric: a farm boy who followed a stranger’s whispers into the Void because they sounded like belonging. More earnest than fanatical, Jeff prays too long, smiles when frightened, and mistakes ordinary coins or barn stains for divine omens. His communion brings muddled dreams and fleeting visions, usually misunderstood but sometimes strangely useful. Captured by the Castro, he survived by being too harmless to fear and too sincere to discard. Now he drifts between cult and captors, unsure whether he was chosen, forgotten, or simply left standing where the universe last dropped him.
characterDallas Dalton, known as Dally, was raised in a close-knit community where loyalty meant survival and family meant everything. When her mother, K’Zhara Flamehand, was taken by powerful men, Dallas carried the loss like a live coal. Now a fire djinni barbarian with the Pink Pony Girls and Kickassery Inc.

characterK'Zhara Flamehand is Dallas Dalton's fire djinni mother, an embersmith rescued from Gertie's Forge after digging an escape route and piloting Arthur's ship back to Jericha.
characterNick Kremp, the Firestarter, was an infernal wizard and adventurer of My Alchemical Romance whose lawful heart burned as brightly as his flamespeaking. Raised without privilege, Nick became the group’s public voice, hype man, and emotional warmth, using charm, optimism, and fire magic to lift others even when the world turned dangerous. His relationship with Iwlvflybadofsjhhu Jr. and bond with Princess Beatrix, his beloved polar bear companion, grounded him beyond spectacle. Nick believed in doing good, following the law where he could, and keeping the spark alive for his friends; his death in 2100 MB left My Alchemical Romance without one of its brightest lights.
characterGrease is a goblin ranger who’s lived alone in the cursed Whisperwoods since childhood, surviving on instinct, traps, and a total disregard for anything above four feet, including signs. A friendly menace, she’s a deadeye with a bow and a ghost-mushroom sommelier with serious opinions about bird espionage.
characterDarius, known as Grimclaw, is a Catfolk fighter forged by mercenary Violince, survivalist instinct, and the hard lesson that loyalty must be earned in blood. His supernatural senses make him a predator on any battlefield, tracking danger through darkness, movement, and fear. Once part of My Alchemical Romance, Darius has repeatedly been pulled away by a shadow self that hunts him and tempts him toward slaughter, a darkness that once made him a destroyer across dimensions. Now he seeks a simpler path back to Von Queef University, old classmates, and adventure without losing himself. Strong, direct, and more open than he once allowed, Grimclaw remains shield, claw, and unfinished warning.

characterMaine — M. A. I. N. E. is a Hexelf/forged survivor of the M. A. I. experiments whose Whispering, warlock path, and detective instincts make them both investigator and living evidence of Centrum’s hidden failures.
characterDhaz Pelosh, known as Nightshade, is a human technogenius and noble heir of Stormcall rebuilt from an explosion that should have erased him. Once a promising alchemy student, he survived maiming, partial deafness, and the collapse of certainty by forging prosthetics, concealed weapons, and a colder way of asking questions. His ties to Yuri Pelosh, Andrea Pelosh, the Lawful, and My Alchemical Romance leave him caught between family duty and hard-earned suspicion. Dhaz does not chase power for glory. He wants truth, revenge against Solar, and tools precise enough to make whoever broke his life answer for it.
characterKuovena Bravespeaker, known as Ouija, is a minotaur warlock of Von Queef University and one of the First Five, carrying the dead with them in more ways than one. Raised in the Bravespeaker tradition after the fall of the Wingkin Mountains, they inherited a spiritual lineage shaped by pact obligations, ancestral voices, and survival under pressure. Their gravespeaking lets them commune with spirits, channel the dead, and bind echoes through ritual, but Kuovena seeks more than obedience to old bargains. Chaotic Good and determined to redefine their people’s path, Ouija treats death not as an ending, but as counsel from those still waiting to be heard.

characterRalos, known as Solar, is a birdfolk speedster and former Centrum hero whose fall became one of Jericha’s sharpest symbols of corrupted glory. Once celebrated as the fastest alive and a protector within the Centrum Security Forces, he descended into cruelty after Centrum’s collapse, joining EVILS as a shock enforcer in Malevolus Krane’s circle. His Witchborn supernatural agility lets him move, react, and strike with devastating velocity, turning momentum into Violince before targets can breathe. Chaotic Evil and dishonorable, Solar now leaves fear where admiration once stood. His daughter I.J. may yet become the legacy he failed to deserve.

characterVithyrex, known as The Eye, is the cyclopean deity of the Power Nine who embodies obsession, focus, and singular vision. Dwelling within the Singular Maze, he constructs labyrinths not to confuse wanderers, but to strip away distraction until only one truth remains. Where Trixie scatters chance and the Aboleth preserves all memory, Vithyrex narrows the world to purpose, stone, and fixation. Architects, maze cults, extremists, and certain Lawful sects invoke him when clarity becomes more sacred than mercy. His gaze can steady, harden, or consume. To follow The Eye is to see one path—and lose sight of every other.
characterTrixie, known as The Gamemaster, is the Chaotic Neutral deity of the Power Nine who governs luck, games, probability, and narrative disruption. From the Shifting Cosmos and the Gamefields Beyond, she treats reality as a board where mortals move through choices, wagers, misfires, and impossible reversals. Trixie does not create chaos blindly; she engineers scenarios where pride, chance, and miscalculation decide the outcome. Gamblers, duelists, rebels, and desperate fools invoke her before risk, while her paragon Exaba gathers pieces for stranger contests. When survival feels improbable and disaster feels staged, Trixie may already be smiling.
characterTrivia — Katrine Draxtler is Morgan's Lawful necromancer sister; Draxler and Draxter are recurring family-name aliases.
characterSimon Baker, better known by the hexname Victor Shaw, is a human maskweaver from Rifleton whose life has been defined by deception, disguise, and the refusal to let the powerful go unpunished. After turning against the nobleman who exploited his mother, Simon fled into the Fey Realm and learned to survive through false faces, poison, humor, and misdirection. As a member of My Alchemical Romance, partner to Exaba, and companion to the dragon Walter, he hides vulnerability behind jokes and insists he would never lie even when deception is his sharpest tool. Simon looks out for himself first, but his hatred of exploitation keeps pulling him toward peasants, street kids, and anyone crushed under wealth or power.
characterWhisperstep — Exaba is Trixie’s satyr paragon and collector, a chaotic agent whose life is tangled in cruel games, temporal errands, missing memories, and the lingering damage of Gertie’s forgetfulness curse.

characterVic Vaurr is a minotaur sanguinomancer and former Murderball player for the Stormcall StormCrows. In Act 5, he entered the active party space inside Vithyrex’s Maze while trapped in the labyrinth and searching for his missing dog.
characterThe Voiling General is a Castro-linked commander encountered in the dragon lair beneath Aleklot’s Rest, coordinating void soldiers and guarding or using a living green dragon.
itemA historical artifact and in-world source rather than a combat item. Reading or citing the journal can provide context on Drakkuskan War-era travel, early student adventuring, cult activity, dragonborn involvement, relic rumors, old routes, and people who later became Centrum figures. Exact dates should be treated as provisional when newer canon disagrees.
locationThe Lonely Islands are the off-map Jericha places where Vithyrex Maze exits, void-scroll shorelines, old toll routes, discarded relics, cult danger, dragonborn pressure, Lawful accusations, and portal crossings keep proving the world did not end at the coastline.
locationThe Lonely Islands Portal Network is the route system that makes off-map Jericha usable in play, linking mainland portal sites to unstable islands, terramorphed lands, and displaced places.
locationNullport is a voidport settlement on the Lonely Islands frontier, a trade and transit node for people willing to treat unstable geography as a career risk.
locationMirror Realm is a planar settlement where roads, people, memories, and reflections return wrong, making identity feel less like a fact than a local hazard.
locationSkyland is a floating Void/Lonely Islands city of broken sky routes, refugees, impossible approaches, and streets that make every arrival feel negotiated.
locationNether Passage is a campaign-card location now reserved as a specific Jericha site, mapped provisionally so future story, item, and encounter references have a visible place to attach.
