Open Void

Uthred, known as Bastard, is a claimant to the Uthred name whose records preserve more uncertainty than proof. Unlike Uthred Uthredson, the legendary Ragnarok of Kremgrad, this Uthred exists in the margins: family claimed, status unknown, and identity unresolved. Whether illegitimate heir, pretender, survivor, or political inconvenience, the title Bastard makes his place in Jericha’s histories deliberately uncomfortable. In a lineage already tied to war heroism, sparkspeaking, and common resistance, his existence raises dangerous questions about blood, inheritance, and who gets to own a legend. Some names are given. Others are fought over.

Bella Andrews, known as Blastbelle, is a human demolitions specialist whose Witchborn energy blasts are hidden inside compact alchemical canisters. Working as an independent contractor for the Thieves’ Guild and the S.S. Daddy, she turns raw arcane force into bombs used for break-ins, sabotage, diversions, and dangerous extractions. Most underworld clients credit her genius to alchemy alone, and Bella is happy to let them. Unstable, inventive, and fiercely independent, she prefers spectacle to subtlety and refuses to belong to anyone.

Foulcrum — Ash Stonefist is a disciplined monk from the Temple of the Equinox Vale whose void-tentacle mutation forces him to test balance, restraint, and spiritual control against powers that may have been engineered around him. His importance to My Alchemical Romance comes through his loyalty, trauma, and unresolved origin, with active hooks around Wisdom/Charisma instability, Salvatore Mentali, Soldier, counterfeit scrying, and the revelation that his power may not truly come from the Aboleth.

Baron von Queef, known as Kindred, is the resurrected dhampir headmaster of Von Queef University and heir to two dangerous bloodlines. Revived by his mother, Nora Rabe von Queef, he returned with telepathic power, theatrical charisma, and a renewed appetite for influence. After Centrum’s collapse, Baron reopened VQU and helped establish QUEST as a response to Jericha’s growing threats. Equal parts noble, performer, and political architect, he knows every room is a stage.

M.A.I.N.E., known simply as Maine, is a Hexelf and forged construct survivor of the M.A.I. experiments, rebuilt by void science into something part sorcerer, part warlock, part detective, and part warning. Their steel, circuits, and scars are obvious; their real weapon is Whispering, a mental manipulation gift that plants doubt, paranoia, confidence, or questions where certainty used to be. With My Alchemical Romance and the MKN Detective Agency, Maine turns trauma into tactics while searching for the other M.A.I. subjects and the truth of their own making. Power made them dangerous, but their chosen bonds may decide what they become.

Podon Xopip Kelbar Lokas is a forest gnome monk who left the Whispering Woods Monastery when stillness could no longer answer a father’s fear. His daughter, C’Ment, vanished into Jericha’s urban underworld, with rumors tying her to Boost addiction and Queefdom drug networks. Now Podon moves through danger like a quiet vagrant, following whispers, protecting the vulnerable, and using Flowing Wind discipline to redirect Violince without becoming what he hunts. In Act 5, Jonah found him alive but badly diminished in Vithyrex’s Maze.

The 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.

Jixie is a goblin collector working for the Dimoggio Clan in New Goblin City. Fast-talking, exhausted, and survival-focused, he became a reluctant guide for My Alchemical Romance after the party intervened in a collector dispute over a chained four-lock box.
