Aerovia Jeevens, known as Beeper, is a Luxidran student and paladin-track defender whose human body has been altered with forged construct components. Her Witchborn power forms protective energy armor, reinforcing her plating and letting her hold the line under pressure. Once close to Andrea Pelosh, Beeper has become more guarded since Andrea’s disappearance, turning grief and uncertainty into discipline. To some, she is a breakthrough in magical integration; to others, a warning about how far institutions will go.

Benvon Bryb - Ben-Ben

Brother Fidelphi Castro is Hugo's betrayal target and a Castro-face identity clue whose New Goblin City death/curse leaves his true role unresolved.

Cardinal - Jonah Subramountian

Jonah 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.

Crone - Greta Wunsch

Deduction - Busnark Deductathumb

Profile details are still being written.

Drow

Drow turned an insult into a weapon and exile into a calling. Cast out from her people and hardened by survival, she became an assassin whose phasing lets her vanish through shadow, silence, and fear.

Emberwash - K’Zhara Flamehand

K'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.

Facsimile - Al Ivers

Al Ivers, known as Facsimile, is a True Neutral human artist-merchant of Aleklot’s Rest whose workshop sits somewhere between craft, crime, and wishful mathematics. A magically inclined counterfeiter, Al produces black-market spell scrolls that he proudly claims work 90% of the time, with the remaining risk dismissed as the customer’s problem and the dice’s fault. When QUEST met him after the Ragefort road incident, he answered questions about price, legality, and reliability with the confidence of a man who has survived his own inventory. Infatuated with Jessica James and always ready to bargain, Al sells possibility cheaply—as long as nobody asks too hard what happens on a one.

Firestarter - Nick Kremp

Nick 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.

Flynn - Diarmaid

Diarmaid, called Flynn by Dallas Dalton, is a massive long-haired Highland cow with the calm patience of a pasture and the impact force of a runaway wagon. Raised alongside Dallas and gifted to her as a calf, Flynn has followed her from home to the Pink Pony Girls as companion, guardian, and family.

Foulcrum - Ash Stonefist

Ash Stonefist was raised in seclusion by the Temple of the Equinox Vale, where discipline, balance, and physical mastery shaped every part of his life. His training made him focused and precise, but left him unfamiliar with much of the wider world. When void-born tentacles emerged from his body, Ash treated the change as part of his spiritual path. His power now tests the teachings that formed him, forcing him to balance serenity with mutation and control with uncertainty. As a member of My Alchemical Romance, Ash brings loyalty, speed, and strange wisdom to the group. His journey centers on mastering the tension between discipline and the void within him.

Goblin Queen - Meeg

Meeg, known as the Goblin Queen, carries a title that sounds like a joke until the swarm answers. Listed as both goblin and human, she occupies a strange place between identity, nobility, and instinctive command.

Grease

Grease 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.

Greasetooth

Greasetooth is a goblin volatile manipulator and serial killer aligned with Evil, the post-Centrum ideological opposite to Lawful. In Point Pringle, he commands or influences goblin bombers, suicide attackers, junk constructs, and bomb-making cells using old Emrysian temple sites and unstable void-tech. He personally killed Tono, PP5’s partner, and remains central to the Maine-variant/Evil network led by Enemy. To some citizens he is a monster; to others, the Lawful’s treatment of unregistered goblins makes the conflict more morally tangled than simple extermination.

Gremlin Greer

Grimclaw — Darius is a Catfolk fighter of My Alchemical Romance whose supernatural senses, blunt courage, and mercenary instincts make him a protector shaped by survival rather than polish. His relevance comes from the tension between strength and slaughter, especially through Shadow Darius’s temptation, Githyanki/Castro trauma, his Gertie banquet return, and the unresolved question of whether he can keep choosing loyalty over the violent path his shadow self offers.

Havyk

Havyk is a half-orc, half-elf rogue from the Free Coast, raised under Orlac’s brutal doctrine and determined to become something sharper than the Violince that made her. She fled her tribe, survived alone, and found peace with Devaireaux, a gentle noble whose love gave her a life beyond bloodshed before his death tore it apart. Now fighting with Kickassery Inc. and the Pink Pony Girls, Havyk protects queer lives, breaks abusive power, and turns grief into purpose. With psychic blades, magnetic control, Chaos the raven, and a broken pocket watch ticking like a heartbeat, she does not seek permission to be kind or dangerous.

Hobgoblin - Rhivak Tez

Profile details are still being written.

Ironhoof - Astrid Ironhoof

Ironhoof — Astrid Ironhoof is a centaur alchemist, Head of Alchemical Studies at Von Queef University, and a recurring academic anchor around fieldwork, horticulture, and practical magical research tied to the Little Shoppe. After losing her expected place in the reformed Centrum, her investigation into void-resonant potions and altered Boost-era alchemy made her an active source of clues, reform pressure, and regulated-power conflict.

Junkyard - Jruu

Profile details are still being written.

Kibbix

Kibbix is a brass-grinning kobold scavenger and scrap dealer whose trenchcoat pockets seem deeper than most warehouses. Working the Lower Foundry Ward and Point Pringle’s industrial edges, he trades in bent gears, rare components, broken prototypes, and the secrets people accidentally throw away with them.

Lamia - Morgan Draxtler

Lamia — Morgan Draxtler is a My Alchemical Romance necromancer whose family name also appears as Draxler and Draxter because even Morgan is canonically uncertain about it.

Luminous - Ephram Glowes

Ephram Glowes is a Graven Scourge alchemist formerly tied to VQU and Boost development from void runoff after the Centrum collapse.

Madcap - Hugo Drider

Hugo Drider, known as Madcap, is an infernal Castro hunter and trapper who works from concealment rather than formal party membership. In Act 5 Gravenhurst, Jonah Subramountian disrupted Hugo’s Castro trap while chasing a Nick-like figure; Hugo then shadowed My Alchemical Romance from trees and windows because they remained his best active lead to Castro. Hugo entered the necromancer chapel fight late and quietly kept necromancy loot, including the Gloves of Rotting Flesh.

Magistrate - Verik Thorne

Magistrate Verik Thorne is Gravenhurst's Lawful courtroom controller, central to Maine's trial, Krane's testimony pressure, and the legal machinery around Castro-era panic.

Mortis - Mortellus Vayne

Mortellus Vayne, known as Mortis, was a Velvet Cross arch-necromancer who treated death not as tragedy, but as a system waiting to be mastered. His gravespeaking shaped resurrection theory, soul-binding vessels, grief constructs, and the infamous Scroll of Mass Resurrection, earning him awe in fringe circles and fear from regulated arcanists. Yet his deepest failure was personal: when Aria’s mother left by choice, no spell could undo it. Mortis turned legacy into obsession, even bargaining with Gertie the Collector for forbidden knowledge at the cost of Aria’s future child. Now presumed dead, his relics, writings, and possibly his soul remain dangerously unaccounted for.

Mosi

Profile details are still being written.

Musk - Rahab

Born Rahab on the Timber Islands, Musk was a daughter of love and laughter who left home chasing adventure. Instead, she found captivity under Malevolus Krane, who twisted her biology into a weapon, and cruelty under Solar, who mocked her pain. She survived both, emerging furious and unbowed.

Mycelia - Marnie Rootbarrel

Marnie Rootbarrel, known as Mycelia, is a halfling spore druid and guardian of the Glow Pools, where broken bodies, strange fungi, and arcane corruption all find their way into the soil.

Neg - M.A.I.N.G.

Profile details are still being written.

Nightshade - Dhaz Pelosh

Dhaz 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.

Ooze the Green - Zhurnuuz Wingkin

Zhurnuuz Wingkin, known as Ooze the Green, is a green dragonborn sorcerer and acolyte of the Wingkin line, where blood, breath, and doctrine twist together into something corrosive. His power manifests through a toxic breath weapon and the patient cruelty of one who understands poison as both element and philosophy. Chaotic Evil by nature, Zhurnuuz does not rush to overwhelm when he can seep into weakness, erode trust, and let fear spread before the strike. Among the Wingkin Acolytes, he is less a blunt instrument than a living toxin: visible only after the damage has already begun.

Pesto Manticore

Pesto Manticore is an infernal lieutenant of the Graven Scourge and the logistical mind behind Gravenhurst’s Boost distribution network. Raised in the legal shadow of his father, Pedro Manticore, he inherited the family gift for contracts, loopholes, and saying exactly enough to trap someone later. Rather than pursue the courtroom, Pesto turned negotiation into cartel architecture, building laundering fronts, alias chains, and trafficking routes with meticulous care. Lawful Evil and unflappable, he brings order to crime without softening it. In the Scourge, Violince may open doors, but Pesto makes sure every door has paperwork.

Prism - Elmyra Manticore

Elmyra Manticore, known as Prism, is an infernal Witchborn sorcerer from Dreadport whose magic first kept her alive as street performance before earning her a place among VQU’s First Five. Flashy, unpredictable, and Chaotic Good, she turns raw instability into color, motion, and sudden elemental transformation.

Solar - Ralos

Ralos, 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.

Starak the Red - Starak Wingkin

Stardust — Josette Martinique is a faerie illusionist and former VQU student whose witness to Orlandus’s murder became part of the campus trauma that launched the Martinique sisters toward Velvet Cross and Centrum Security Force power. Her relevance centers on Angelique, Rice Hands, and the way elegance, survival, and social access turned early VQU violence into later institutional influence.

Thazuun the Blue - Thazuun Wingkin

Profile details are still being written.

The Eye - Vithyrex

Vithyrex, 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.

Toolbox - Vala Gearsprocket

Vala Gearsprocket, known as Toolbox, is a gnome artificer and cryptotechnologist of the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery, where unsolved hauntings meet field-tested machinery. Brilliant, eccentric, and Chaotic Good, she began building constructs in childhood and never stopped improving them. Her Witchborn technogenius lets her create small animated companions, repair equipment under pressure, and deploy “Mystery Machine” devices that turn investigation into controlled chaos. Within the Lodge, Vala provides the technological edge that ghost stories rarely expect. Some of her constructs behave beyond their design, but she insists that is only a problem after the case is solved.

Vaelthar the Black - Vaelthar Wingkin

Profile details are still being written.

Veilstep - Aria Vayne

Aria Vayne, known as Veilstep and once called the Blue-Haired Girl, is the human daughter of the late necromancer Mortellus Vayne. Raised in the shadow of necromantic nobility, she fled after learning her father’s pact with Gertie the Collector had placed her future in danger. Now hidden beneath the Pink Pony Tavern, Aria survives through caution, quiet resolve, and a phasing power that lets her slip through shadow when threatened. She does not want revenge or power; she wants time enough to be free.

Victor Shaw - Simon Baker

Simon 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.

Vigor - Ellenthyra Mew

Ellenthyra Mew, known as Vigor, is a catfolk VQU New Student from the Temple of the Equinox Vale. In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, she appeared with Zetch and Nell Quiv after the trio looted a cave and argued over a legendary wand; she recognized Ash Stonefist from the monastery and discussed leaving the Temple while following Albert Rallus’s path from monkhood toward greater power.

Whisperstep - Exaba

Whisperstep — 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.

Widow - Lady Marnette Duskshade

Lady Marnette Duskshade, known as Widow, is a Lawful Evil human noble, potion master, and Abyss power broker from Driftmark exile nobility. Born into an alchemical empire built on patents, assassination, and inheritance, she refined her family legacy into a weapon of high society. Her Witchborn sanguinomancy lets her transmute her own blood into venom, antidote, binding resin, or crystalline tools, each use weakening the body that ambition refuses to spare. Composed, generous when useful, and socially indispensable, Marnette controls outcomes through salons, contracts, and perception. Even at the Masquerade, scandal bent around her rather than breaking her.

Zodiac - Faephine Moonhold Pringle

Faephine Moonhold Pringle, known as Zodiac, is an elven astrologian noble of Point Pringle whose calm manner hides a mind trained to read fractures in the heavens.

Calithea

Calithea was born to a noble house below the world and cursed into the form of a medusa before she could choose what that meant. Where her twin sister Xalaethra embraced monstrosity, Calithea fled toward mercy. Blindfolded to spare others from her gaze, she hid beneath the farm that would become Rootbarrel Brewery and devoted herself to healing, peace, and the study of petrification’s cure. Gentle by choice rather than weakness, Calithea proves that a curse does not get to decide the shape of a soul.

Xalaethra

Xalaethra is a Neutral Evil medusa sorcerer and exiled noble slaver from the Underdark, twin sister to Calithea and everything Calithea refused to become.
