VQU

Mountain dwarf cleric, healer, and moral center of My Alchemical Romance whose earthspeaking and faith in Djeebus keep impossible hope alive.

Infernal wizard, fire mage, and beloved spark of My Alchemical Romance whose death left unresolved questions around a Nick-like figure at Root Barrel Farm.

Hexelf/forged survivor of the M.A.I. experiments whose Whispering, warlock path, and detective instincts make them both investigator and living evidence.

Angelique Martinique, known as Angeldust, was a VQU student when she witnessed Albert Rallus murder a fellow student, a moment that turned campus glamour into survival instinct. With blonde hair and high-fey poise, she helped Josette move from that Violince into the Queefdom elite of Velvet Cross. Their ascent eventually placed them in the newest Centrum Security Forces, the highest adventuring team beneath Centrum itself. Angelique’s importance lies in making perception, influence, and access obey.

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.

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. His gravespeaking allows him to commune with those interred beneath his care and command cemetery-bound undead when graves are disturbed. Bones is not a conqueror of death, but its custodian.

Bowflex was the beloved magically enhanced tyrannosaurus mascot of Von Queef University and former companion of groundskeeper Al Dyrio. More than a campus symbol, he served as a living defender during the Drakkuskan War, holding the line against a Dragonborn assault long enough for students and faculty to evacuate. His death made him a legend, remembered through chants, stories, and the bronze statue that still stands in the VQU courtyard. Beneath the university, his remains wait in the Crypt of Mascots.

Greta Wunsch, known as Crone, keeps Von Queef University functioning by doing what most mages fear most: reading the rules and enforcing them. A senior administrator from Le Queef, she oversees compliance, discipline, records, and the fragile bureaucracy holding VQU together after collapse, reopening, and reform. Greta has no Witchborn power and needs none. Her authority comes from procedure, sealed files, contract language, and the terrifying certainty that she knows exactly which form was filed incorrectly. To volatile faculty and reckless students, she is not glamorous, but she may be the reason the university survives its own brilliance.

Rico Bial, known as Dupe, is a human fighter from South Aerovia and a former arena trainee whose discipline was forged under pressure long before he reached Von Queef University. His Witchborn power manifests as form duplication, letting him split a temporal shard from himself so a second strike lands beside his own. Now aligned with the Reborn, Rico carries himself with Lawful Neutral focus: controlled, practical, and difficult to rattle. He is not the loudest combatant in the room, but when the moment comes, one Rico becomes two—and the mistake becomes his enemy’s.

Horton, known as Forespoke, has spent decades at Von Queef University watching futures arrive badly, early, or not at all. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ironhoof — Astrid Ironhoof is a centaur alchemist, Head of Alchemical Studies at Von Queef University, and a practical magical researcher whose blunt loyalty to students makes her more than a professor or quest giver. Her relevance to the core party comes through fieldwork, horticulture, the Little Shoppe, her lost Centrum appointment, and her investigation into void-resonant potions and altered Boost-era alchemy as sources of clues, reform pressure, and regulated-power conflict.

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.

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.

Maine — M.A.I.N.E. is a Hexelf/forged survivor of the M.A.I. experiments whose Whispering, warlock path, and detective instincts make them both investigator and living evidence of Centrum’s hidden failures. Their relevance comes through trauma turned into tactics, with active hooks around tsunami guilt, multiple Maine variants, Tono and PP5, Bauble and the Reborn, Lawful accusations, Arthur’s MAI revelations, Vithyrex heart pieces, and the arrival at Bones’s cemetery beside Enemy and another variant.

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.

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. Her current relevance runs through the revived Centrum, Baron’s resurrection and New VQU ambitions, Albert Rallus’s unresolved rat-form escape, and the possibility that every public role she plays is also a strategic mask.

Nora Rabe von Queef, known as Masquerade, is a shapeshifting noble, political architect, and co-founder of Centrum whose greatest weapon has always been identity. Wife to Magala and mother to Baron von Queef, she helped shape Jericha’s post-war order through strategy, infiltration, negotiation, and carefully chosen lies. Nora defeated Baron Fangapor, later revived her son through the Phoenix Circuit, and ultimately polymorphed Albert Rallus into a rat during Centrum’s collapse. Whether appearing as ruler, ally, enemy, or stranger, Nora survives by understanding that power is not only held—it is performed.

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.

Josette Martinique, known as Stardust, was a VQU student when she and Angelique witnessed Albert Rallus murder a fellow student, binding their campus story to the Violince that reshaped the age. Black-haired, graceful, and quietly strategic, Josette helped turn survival into social ascent through Velvet Cross society. That rise carried the sisters into the newest Centrum Security Forces, the highest adventuring team beneath Centrum itself. Josette’s importance lies in turning elegance into access, and access into power.

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.

Yebbediah Grymmeye X, known simply as X, is a void-touched elven necromancer and diminished lich whose name remains one of Von Queef University’s darkest academic stains. Born into the Grymmeye line, he pursued resurrection theory past every ethical boundary, aided by allies and family legacy until the death of Annie Rein marked his work as atrocity rather than scholarship. His necromantic gravespeaking, soul-binding expertise, and lich durability made him feared long before the Phoenix Process partially undid his undeath. Now tied to CentrumNow, X remains cold, brilliant, and dangerous: proof that some minds survive judgment by becoming harder to kill.

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. Schooled through Poe’s rare stellar tradition, she studies fate-threads, dream patterns, void tears, and temporal distortions with the precision expected of Moonhold blood. Her marriage to Eveline Pringle places her within one of Point Pringle’s most volatile lineages, but Faephine is more than a stabilizing ornament. She is the one watching the stars for warnings no court would believe until too late.

Salah is X’s assigned intake clerk for QUEST operations at New VQU, responsible for personnel confirmation, incident summaries, receipts, and item declarations when field teams return from missions.

General Falafelsnout was a polar bear general of the Snout/Svarsbard lineage whose remains became a grotesque symbol in the Aleklot’s Rest dragon crisis.
