Skullberry Field

Arcanist Ascendancy / Illusioncraft

Arcanos Brightgleam is a gnome enchantment scholar and public spokesman for the Arcanist Ascendancy. Once an adjunct professor at Von Queef University, he built his reputation on theatrical lectures, applied illusions, and making dangerous arcane theory sound wonderfully reasonable.

Von Queef University / Necromancy (Gravespeaking)

Brunk 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.

Graven Scourge / Thieves Guild formerly / Brawling

Retyunskikh Braskawyk built the name Braska the Red in the streets and strongholds of Gravenhurst, where reputation is earned loudly or not at all. Once a Thieves Guild contractor, he cut ties and rose as a captain of the Graven Scourge, favoring open dominance over quiet deals.

Meadowkin Commune / Rootbarrel Brewing / Supernatural Strength

Barney Rootbarrel, known as Brawny, is a halfling agricultural alchemist and co-founder of Medusa’s Farm near the Glow Pools. Once a beet farmer outside the Queefdom, Barney helped turn abandoned land into a working commune through patience, labor, and quiet strength.

Thieves Guild / Supernatural Senses

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.

Voidling (Castro) / Void Manifestation

Aleron Bonapate, known as Caesar, is a Castro-aligned voidling invader who rides Bowflex into Gravenhurst and pressures the southern gate route.

My Alchemical Romance / Geokinesis (Earthspeaking)

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.

Black Ward

Jeff 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.

First Five / Healing

Saphira Enn, known as Ceremony, came to Von Queef University carrying the quiet weight of a Black Ward upbringing. Once shaped by cult doctrine, she now studies as a cleric among the First Five, searching for redemption through healing rather than obedience.

Root Barrel Farm / Force Field

Orval Finkus is the performative Colonel of Root Barrel Farm, a suspect protector of Castro-displaced dragonborn workers and a contact in Havyk's demon-debt thread.

Pink Pony Girls / Teleportation

Dallas 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.

Queefdom / Gloomspire / Sanguinomancy

Firestarter — Nick Kremp was a lawful-hearted infernal wizard of My Alchemical Romance whose warmth, optimism, and public charisma made him the party’s emotional spark as much as its fire mage. His relationships with I.J. and P.B., the surrendered void-crystal scythes, his death, and the unresolved Root Barrel Farm Nick-like figure keep his legacy central because the question is not only whether Nick can return, but whether what returns would still be him.

My Alchemical Romance / Pyrokinesis (Flamespeaking)

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.

Pink Pony Girls / Pyrokinesis (Flamespeaking)

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.

My Alchemical Romance / Void Manifestation

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.

EVILs / Energy Armor

Alexa B’Praghus, marked as Gemini ♀, is one half of the Gemini twins and a polished weapon of EVILS. Raised in aristocratic privilege, she learned that confidence could open doors, end conversations, and make cruelty look like poise.

EVILs / Teleportation

Alexi B’Praghus, marked as Gemini ♂, is the other half of the B’Praghus twins and a Lawful Evil sorcerer aligned with EVILS. Where Alexa turns confidence into defense and social control, Alexi turns space itself into an escape route, weapon, and tactical advantage.

Hazy Pastures / Alchemy

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.

The Lawful / Oath

Captain Helena Briar, known as Guardian, is a Lawful field commander in Gravenhurst whose authority was earned through merit rather than politics.

Queefdom / Gravenhurst

Profile details are still being written.

Pink Pony Girls / Magnetic Control

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.

Centrum (-2099 MB) / Necrobotany

Titian, known as Hemlock, was a tortle druid-necromancer and former elf whose exile from Timber Island transformed both body and philosophy. As a scholar of Von Queef University and founding member of Centrum, he pursued necrobotany not as corruption, but as synthesis: root and bone, bloom and rot, regeneration and decay held in the same living system. His work shaped magical ecology, Centrum governance, and the dangerous belief that endings could be cultivated into beginnings. Betrayed by Albert’s rise and presumed dead, Titian’s legacy still grows through rumor, scholarship, and the strange life rooted from his remains.

Black Ward / Experiment fallout / Castro target / Void Manifestation

Hollow / Alfred Rallus, formerly Kuzon, is a transformed Black Ward void manipulator tied to Kaya, Salvatore, Castro targeting, and Arthur's void-healing plan.

Castro Forces / Void Manifestation

J’Oan was a Castro scout and warrior from the Astral Territories, sent into Jericha with a mission narrow enough to sound simple: capture Walter, the dragon bonded to Victor Shaw, whose cross-planar potential made him valuable to forces beyond the world.

Goblin (Kobold)

Profile details are still being written.

Pink Pony Girls / Astral Projection

Kaya is a quiet storm—disciplined, devout, and scarred by tragedy. Raised in a monastery alongside her beloved friend Kuzon, her life shattered when her adoptive monk family was slaughtered.

The Lawful / Pyrokinesis (Flamespeaking)

Janna Brightspark, known as Kindle, is a fire djinni scribe and junior analyst working inside the Lawful offices of Gravenhurst. Soft-spoken, precise, and stubbornly ethical, she has learned that a corrected clause can save a life as surely as a spell.

My Alchemical Romance / Necromancy

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.

Graven Scourge

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

Wandering Minstrels / Meadowkin Commune adjacent / Battle Hymn

Elara Windwhisper, known as Lyrical Truth, is a blind elven philosopher-minstrel whose songs carry meanings most listeners only feel at first.

The Lawful / Law Magic

My Alchemical Romance / MKN Detective Agency / Whispering (Mental Manipulation)

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.

Pink Pony Girls / The Abyss formerly / Photokinesis

Maddie Brightmane, known as Melody, is the former dancer who became the operational heart of the Pink Pony Tavern. Once entangled with the Abyss and rescued from enchantment-based exploitation, she now watches for the same patterns in others: the blank smile, the missing choice, the magic hiding behind performance.

Queefdom / Velvet Cross

Profile details are still being written.

Queefdom / Velvet Cross / Cathedral Estate / Necromancy (Gravespeaking)

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.

Meadowkin Commune / Rootbarrel Brewing / Botany

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.

Pink Pony Girls / Botany

Nymeria Duarte is an elven cleric of Kickassery Inc. whose faith brought her to Gravenhurst seeking a clearer connection with the Gamemaster and the meaning behind her visions. Since youth, she has seen flashes of possible futures, each one tangled in danger, prophecy, and unanswered divine intent.

Pink Pony Girls

Pops / Lerik Bell is a deceased human associated with the Pink Pony Tavern and Bell family; his imported bio needs separation from PP3 material.

First Five / Chaos Magic

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.

Gnome

Gaz Geargoggle, known as Professor, is a gnome artificer whose name sounds less like a title and more like a warning label attached to unfinished machinery. The records give only a narrow view of him, but what remains is clear: Gaz belongs to the Geargoggle line, works as a professor-artificer, and carries the kind of obsessive curiosity that makes classrooms safer than workshops only in theory. His infatuation with Astrid Ironhoof suggests a softer, more awkward heart beneath the gears, goggles, and lecture notes. In Jericha, Gaz is the sort of academic who can explain a mechanism perfectly while forgetting whether it is still armed.

Graven Scourge

Natasha Brand, known as Redcloak, is an infernal woman whose disappearance turned Tarria Brand’s grief into a crusade against the Graven Scourge. Once fierce, impulsive, and deeply bonded to her sister, Natasha fell into Boost dependency before vanishing into Gravenhurst’s underworld. Rumors place her in Scourge custody, not as a recruit by choice but as a captive, asset, or test subject reshaped by addiction and experimentation. Her current condition remains unknown, with whispers of mutation and a childhood charm from Tarria still carried somewhere close. To the Scourge, she may be property. To Tarria, she is still family worth burning the city to find.

Thieves Guild / Summoning

Redwave Varn is a captured Gravenhurst Thieves Guild pirate-thief contact whose partnership with Rill Waters and private identity tells matter after Castro used his face.

The Lawful

Renfield Hoek was an elven Lawful gate guard stationed at Gravenhurst’s main entrance, where regulations became performance in his hands. Hyperactive, theatrical, and intensely procedural, he treated every traveler, cart, and suspicious pause as an opportunity to defend civic order with maximum volume. Alongside his partner Stimpson Katz, Renfield kept detailed gate logs and served as one of the city’s most visible, if eccentric, faces of enforcement. His devotion was genuine beneath the absurdity. In 2100 MB, he became lost in Vityhrex’s Labyrinth and was killed fighting dragonborn, leaving Gravenhurst quieter than it ever expected to be.

Queefdom / Gravenhurst

My Alchemical Romance / The Abyss / House Duskshade / Bonecraft

The Centrum / The Lawful / Aura

Captain Alara Vren is a Lawful and Centrum security commander who turns Gravenhurst and Queefdom crises into controlled lines, checkpoints, and public-order decisions.

Void / Queefdom Underworld

Salvatore Mentali, known as Shadow King, is a soul flayer investor and criminal mastermind whose empire is built from secrets, fear, and carefully measured charm. Unlike flayers bound to the Elder’s agenda, Salvatore forged his own path through the Queefdom’s underworld, commanding spies, enforcers, informants, and debtors with psionic precision. Impeccably dressed and theatrically controlled, he treats every negotiation like a performance and every betrayal like an art form. His shadow empire seeks more than wealth; it seeks obedience. Cross him, and the mind may surrender before the body knows the war has begun.

Queefdom / Gloomspire / Weapon Master

Gerald Shadowplay, known as Shadowplay I, is a Whisp elf of Gloomspire and a member of one of the Queefdom’s more ominous family lines. Brother to Gerard, father to Jayk, and uncle to Jeremiah, Gerald stands at the center of a lineage split between blood magic, light, secrecy, and survival. Unlike Gerard’s sanguinomancy, Gerald’s reputation is tied to weapon mastery: skill made sharp enough to become inheritance. His current status remains uncertain, but the Shadowplay name still moves through Gloomspire like a rumor with a blade behind it. In that family, silence is rarely emptiness. It is usually preparation.

Queefdom / Gloomspire / Sanguinomancy

Gerard Shadowplay, known as Shadowplay II, is a Whisp elf of Gloomspire whose place in the Shadowplay family is defined by blood, secrecy, and inheritance. Brother to Gerald, father to Jeremiah, and uncle to Jayk, Gerard belongs to a lineage where power passes through both family bonds and dangerous magic. His sanguinomancy marks him as a wielder of blood’s hidden language, able to turn lineage from history into weaponry. Much of his current status remains uncertain, but in the Queefdom’s darker corners, the Shadowplay name is rarely spoken as trivia. It is spoken like a warning.

Pink Pony Girls / Chaos Magic

Calypso Starbloom, the Silver Whisper, once moved through Velvet Cross nobility as a celebrated sorceress before exposing corruption powerful enough to cost her everything. Exiled from elite circles, she rebuilt her life through the Pink Pony Tavern, turning it into a refuge, listening post, and quiet shield for those with nowhere safer to go. Her chaos magic rarely announces itself, instead bending atmosphere, instinct, and chance away from harm. Calypso protects with grace, secrets, and a smile that has survived courtrooms, conspiracies, and worse.

Black Ward / Whispering (Mental Manipulation)

Judah, known as Silvertongue, is a human preacher and ideologue of the Black Ward whose voice turns rejection into doctrine. Once denied entry to Von Queef University, he recast academic exclusion as proof that Jericha’s institutions feared the truth of the Void.

Queefdom / Gloomspire / Photokinesis

Profile details are still being written.

The Lawful / Warden

Stimpson Katz is a human Lawful gate guard stationed at Gravenhurst’s main entrance, remembered by travelers as the kinder half of a famously mismatched watch pair.

The Abyss formerly / Illusioncraft

Lucian Vale, known as Vale, is a human Witchborn rogue and disgraced noble scion from the faded Vale line of Equinox Vale. With little wealth left behind his name, he sought purpose in the Abyss, where hierarchy offered the relevance his family no longer could.

Meadowkin Commune / Alchemy

Pip Thistlebloom, known as Vapor Bloom, is a blind gnome alchemist of the Meadowkin Commune whose work at Rootbarrel Farm blends herbal craft, spiritual mysticism, and Glow Pool strangeness.

Queefdom / Phasing

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.

Meadowkin Commune / Necrobotany

Bracken Rootfoot, known as Verdant Echo, is a blind hexelf elder and shepherd-druid of the Meadowkin Commune, tending cycles of loss, regrowth, spectral flora, and rural prophecy near Hazy Pastures.

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.

The Abyss / House Duskshade / Sanguinomancy

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.

Meadowkin Commune / Geokinesis (Earthspeaking)

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.

Queefdom / Velvet Cross

Cordelia Cortez is a human of the Cortez family, alive within the Velvet Cross circles of the Queefdom but surrounded by more blank spaces than certainty. The records name her lineage and location, yet leave her ambitions, loyalties, and power unspoken.

Meadowkin Commune / Umbrakinesis

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