character

Castaway - Jeff Low

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.

Presenting themself as a prophet and claimed paragon of Emrys, Emrill guided dragonborn zealots toward resurrection rites, void invocation, and rebellion against the world above them. Their influence helped ignite the conflict tied to Xorrika Mjokmek, the militarized Drakkuskan House, and the death of Phalaxiflore von Queef. Though now presumed dead, Emrill’s doctrine survived as the foundation of the Black Ward, proving some outsiders do not need to remain present to keep corrupting the future.

character

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.

character

Flamer - Jasmine Moore

A former Centrum archivist during the Drakkuskan War and brother to Poe, Jericha’s leading astrologian, he now teaches divination with a calm precision that unsettles even seasoned faculty. His Witchborn precognition grants glimpses of possible outcomes, but Horton treats prophecy as evidence, not destiny. As overseer of predictive combat simulations and student foresight training, he stands as one of VQU’s quiet defenses against timeline corruption. Some say he already knows the date of his death.

character

Fortune - Magala

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.

character

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.

Remington Debris, known among the Exiles as Garbage, is a raccoonfolk paladin who turned dismissal into devotion. Raised in the Timberlands with a fierce sense of duty, he left home to defend those the world would rather overlook.

character

General - Orlandus Spokovich

General — Orlandus Spokovich was a wood elf/forged VQU student from the Timber Islands whose charm, humor, and theatrical confidence made him one of Floor 3’s defining presences before the campus broke open. His murder by Albert Rallus matters because it removed the student who made rooms feel alive, turning early VQU from a place of performance, jokes, and memorable trouble into a site of public grief and factional fracture.

character

Glimmer - Clair Faethful

Glintfang — Eveline Pringle is the Point Pringle noble heir whose hidden lycanthropy, marriage to Faephine Moonhold, and resistance to being used as a clean political solution make her central to Pringle succession pressure. Her active relevance runs through Ash’s former hopes, the Greasetooth crisis, Pringle family instability, and her decision to stay in Point Pringle after PP4 claimed leadership.

character

Glintfang - Eveline Pringle

Eveline Pringle, known as Glintfang, was raised to embody the polished future of Point Pringle’s most famous family, but her life has always strained against the image built for her. At Von Queef University she presents as a refined noble student, while privately carrying the wild magic and lycanthropy her family worked to conceal. Glamour charms and a silver locket help hide the wolf beneath the heir, but emotion and moonlight make secrecy fragile. Now married to Faephine Moonhold Pringle, Eveline stands between legacy and self-rule, determined that her curse will not be owned by anyone but her.

character

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.

character

Hemlock - Titian

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.

character

Herald - Mona Rey

Mona Rey, known as Herald, is a human noble barbarian of Isla Rey whose royal bloodline burns with volcanic memory and storm-fed pride. Raised on the Lonely Islands with tales of ancestral courage, she became a fierce protector of her people and the elemental balance beneath their homeland.

character

Igor

Igor is Jonah Subramountian’s loyal homunculus companion, stitched together from clay, wax, alchemy, and more sincere devotion than most full-sized believers can manage. Created for delicate rituals and hazardous labwork, he now scuttles through Von Queef University as Jonah’s assistant, candle-bearer, relic-carrier, and tiny squeaking echo of the Creator’s faith. Igor cannot speak beyond one beloved word, but his frantic gestures, devotional mimicry, and hoarded sweets say plenty. Small, comic, and endlessly useful, he proves that even a servant made of scraps can carry belief like a sacred flame.

character

Incubus - Islo Frid

Islo Frid, known as Incubus, is a dhampir bard resurrected through void leakage after the destruction of Port Hollow. At Von Queef University, he joined the First Five less from loyalty than curiosity, ambition, and the pleasure of watching new power take shape. Polished, predatory, and socially precise, Islo treats charm as both art and weapon. His Witchborn nightmare resonance lets him intrude upon dreams, amplify fear, and turn psychic terror into performance. He is not the loudest threat in a room, but he may be the one already waiting in someone’s sleep.

character

Insight - Zachary Harrison

Zachary Harrison, known as Insight, is a human emotional analyst whose calm presence makes him one of Luxidran’s most quietly unsettling minds.

Masquerade — Nora Rabe von Queef is a shapeshifting noble, Centrum co-founder, and VQU power architect whose control of identity, politics, and survival shaped Jericha’s postwar order.

character

Masquerade - Nora Rabe von Queef

Nora Rabe von Queef is a VQU and Velvet Cross power broker using the Rabe House network and Sinclair to support the party while keeping her own position ambiguous.

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.

Ouija - Kuovena Bravespeaker

Kuovena 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.

character

Nyrah Vellpaw, known as Panthera, is a catfolk rogue-scholar of Luxidran’s Wisdom Division, where knowledge is not always found in books and sometimes has to be stolen before someone else buries it.

Rush - Kaida Sol

Profile details are still being written.

character

Salve - Alison Whiteheart

Alison Whiteheart, known as Salve, is a Lawful Good human healer from Phalkin serving at Von Queef University. Though trained in clerical traditions, her restorative gifts are Witchborn rather than divine, focused through direct touch and steady proximity. Alison can stabilize critical trauma, cleanse void-tainted wounds, and sustain healing under crisis conditions without losing emotional control. She avoids politics, doctrine, and spectacle, measuring her work by whether the patient lives. With her soulbonded raven Liora nearby, Alison has become one of VQU’s quiet anchors in the Void Age: not a savior seeking praise, but the person who stays because someone must.

character

Sapling - Baby Titian

Baby Titian, known as Sapling, is a young treant dryad rooted in the grounds of Von Queef University. Grown from the remains of the original Titian, they are both a living memorial and a sign that something ancient may yet return.

character

Shadow King - Salvatore Mentali

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.

character

Shroud - Maskara Azur

Maskara Azur, known as Shroud, is a human illusionist, maskmaker, and former Von Queef University student whose art turns identity into a tool. Once a street performer, she refined her craft during the Drakkuskan War, using illusion to defend VQU before her work found darker markets through the Black Company. Her Witchborn maskweaving lets her imbue masks with alternate personas, abilities, and dangerous emotional truths, making each creation part disguise, part weapon, and part temptation. Chaotic Neutral and theatrical by instinct, Maskara sells transformation to people who may not survive becoming someone else.

character

Silvertongue - Judah

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.

character

character

Stardust - Josette Martinique

character

The Aboleth

The Aboleth is the Lawful Neutral deity of the Power Nine, a primordial aberrant sovereign of memory, depth, and psychic dominion. From the Memory Trenches, it preserves history not as records, but as living consciousness layered through bloodlines, dreams, and inherited fear. During the Alignment of Jericha, it served as a stabilizing force, anchoring continuity while more volatile powers shaped creation. The Aboleth does not forget, and it does not erase; it overwrites, submerging truth until mortals mistake command for memory. Feared by deep cults and psychic scholars, it remains Jericha’s oldest archive and one of its quietest chains.

character

The Creator - Djeebus

Djeebus, the Creator, is a divine force of invention among the Power Nine, worshiped by artificers, tinkerers, and anyone desperate enough to build past the edge of safety. His influence appears in laboratories, workshops, and impossible breakthroughs, where inspiration arrives faster than caution can follow. Djeebus grants creation, but rarely comfort; his gifts spark progress, instability, and consequences that may outlive their makers. To him, the world is not finished. It is a prototype.

character

The Kid - Annie Rein

"You only live once. Not me."

character

Timbre - Tamber Soot

Tamber Soot, known as Timbre, is a 17-year-old kenku phantom rogue and abandoned courier from the Lonely Islands, now counted among VQU’s new students. True Neutral and guarded by necessity, they learned early that a voice can open doors, carry lies, or disappear without leaving a body behind. Their Witchborn voice theft lets them mimic any creature heard within the past day with near-perfect accuracy, bypassing even magical detection and making identity dangerously portable. As a courier, survivor, and student, Tamber moves between messages, ghosts, and secrets with quiet precision. They rarely raise their own voice, but they know how to borrow yours.

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.

His cursed blood magic strengthens his blade at personal cost, leaving him disciplined, wary, and grimly compassionate. A frequent protector of Kremgrad and father to Elmyra, Rafael still feels bound to check Pedro’s schemes when family loyalty becomes a public danger.

Soldier is a darker void figure seen by Ash Stonefist in the same corridor vision as Salvatore Mentali. Soldier appears to be invested in Oskar Duskshade as a chosen vessel and is more direct than Salvator about moving toward that purpose.

character

Voiling General

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.

item

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.

item

Reinforced Voidplate Cuirass

Plate armor requiring Str 15. Base AC 18 as plate, plus an extra +1 AC for total base AC 19 before other modifiers. You gain +1 to Strength or Dexterity saving throws made to resist being pushed or knocked prone. Counts as magical armor.

item

Void Diamond

Condensed Void energy equal to 100 Void Dust. Spend diamonds equal to power tier to unlock Void-aligned abilities; consume for long-rest benefits and +1 resonance; used as catalyst for Void enchanting/upgrades requiring matching tier count and crafting skill in a Void-aligned ritual space/forge/evolution chamber.

item

Void Edge Blade

+1 longsword that counts as magical for overcoming resistance and immunity. Ash touching a Void Edge Blade also triggered a corridor vision involving Salvatore Mentali, Soldier, Oskar, and Ash's unstable void-related role.

item

Void-Corrupted Owlbear Egg

Three instability charges. Awaken to trigger frighten pulse, void-yolk temporary HP, spectral claw attack, or hatchling sense. Final charge determines hostile hatchling, inert shell, or stabilized incubatable hatchling.

item

Voidfang Shard

Imported from the Jericha item archive. Final mechanics are still being prepared.

location

Von Queef University

Von Queef University is the campus where Jericha learned that a school can become a government, a battlefield, a prophecy engine, and a relic-politics machine before the first year is even over.

location

Luxidran School of Alchemical Studies

Luxidran School of Alchemical Studies is Stormcall's major alchemical academy: a Centrum-era institution built after the Drakkuskan War, newer than VQU and Kremgrad but large enough in the current day to matter beside them.

location

Kremgrad

Kremgrad is the East Rekhyov capital anchor in the old backbone and one of Jericha's oldest prestige-school centers: a cold, watched civic center where regional authority, discipline, scholarship, and temple-amber route politics can harden into law.

location

Lonely Islands

The 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.

location

Lonely Islands Portal Network

The 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.

location

Void Realm

The Void Realm is the breached between-space around Jericha's displaced places, Githyanki captivity routes, Castro incursions, and the old Albert damage that made return feel possible but never clean.

location

Mount Tor

Mount Tor is the mountain city credited with inventing airships, a high-altitude workshop of docks, wind courts, old lift engines, and sky captains who treat the horizon like a civic resource.

location

Lorne's Lighthouse

Lorne's Lighthouse is a lighthouse in the middle of the desert, its truesight beam shining in all directions for aircraft, airships, and travelers who need a landmark that can see through lies in the sky.
