Beeper - Aerovia Jeevens

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.

Blastbelle - Bella Andrews

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.

Brother - Fidelphi Castro

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.

C.C. The Blade - Valara Cirio

Valara Cirio, known as C.C. or The Blade, is the Gravenhurst Thieves Guild leader whose senses expose impostors, Castro body mismatch, and Krane-touched mutation.

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.

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.

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.

Grimclaw - Darius

Darius, 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.

Lamia - Morgan Draxtler

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.

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.

Rubber - Zetch

Zetch, known as Rubber, is a VQU New Student with elastic/bouncing physicality and a reckless appetite for action. In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, Zetch argued with Ellenthyra Mew and Nell Quiv over cave loot, bounced off Vic Vaurr, and became excited by Vic’s murderball-style throws.

Trigger - Victor Calloway

Profile details are still being written.

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.

Boost

Controlled dose for 1 hour: +2 to Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma checks and saves; -2 to Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom checks and saves. When the effect ends, make a DC 13 Constitution save or gain exhaustion; the DC increases by 2 for each failed Boost comedown save within 24 hours. A green shimmer gives disadvantage on Deception checks to appear sober within 10 feet. Uncontrolled Boost vapor, gas pits, mushrooms, or contaminated atmospheres can poison rather than empower, applying the downsides without the benefits.

Chained four-lock box

The box has four magical locks. Each lock can be opened with one successful DC 16 Dexterity check using thieves' tools or DC 16 Intelligence (Arcana) check. Each attempt takes 1 minute. On a failed check by 5 or more, the box emits a Dimoggio debt-sigil visible to lawful collectors and bonded goblin couriers for 24 hours. Opening one lock weakens the box but does not reveal the contents; all four locks must be opened within the same hour or the box relocks at dawn. A creature carrying the box has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks against creatures actively hunting Dimoggio property.

Healing Potion spent on Jixie

Elmyra gave Jixie a healing potion after he collapsed near the bottom of the descent.
