Here is a list of characters found in the Myth Adventures series of books:
Aahzmandius
A grouchy, greedy, and occasionally nice pervect who was once a powerful sorcerer. At the beginning of the series he loses that power, but remains extremely cunning and strong. He becomes Skeeve's mentor, partner, and father figure, generally serving as either a Deutertagonist or The Protagonist depending on the book.- Brought Down to Badass: A prank gone wrong removes his magic skills, but he's still one tough cookie.
- Fallen Princess: Skeeve's sojourn on Perv reveals that Aahz had been a wealthy, brilliant, insufferably-smug Big Pervect On Campus in his college days, right up until his widowed mother lost the family fortune on bad investments. Although offered a scholarship, Aahz was too proud to accept one, and quietly left school without a degree.
- Freudian Excuse: Virtually all of Aahz's bad habits and vices can be traced back to specific events in his youth.
- Guile Hero: The moment he opens his mouth, you're about to be conned.
- Insistent Terminology: He's a Pervect, not a Pervert.
- Lizard Folk: Scaled, green, short, and strong as all get out, with pointed ears. Unlike typical Lizard Folk, he's also very, very intelligent and used to be a great magician. (And, you know, a hero.)
- Made of Iron: Superior muscle strength and very tough scales allow Pervects to shrug off glancing hits from swords and such. As well as allowing them to yank iron bars out of walls and other such party tricks.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Is often described having a ton of sharp teeth in his mouth. This is in part because he is a pervect, but even other pervects remark that, even by their standards, his smile is unnervingly toothy.
- Mr. Vice Guy: It's inadvisable to stand between Aahz and money. Very, very inadvisable.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Blames himself for Skeeve's inflated ego later in the series and leaves the company in shame. A few books then focus on everyone trying to find him and convincing him to return, with Skeeve especially needing to help Aahz work through his guilt.
- Papa Wolf: By the end of the first book, he basically views Skeeve as a son. Threatening Skeeve is a surefire way to get Aahz to either totally humiliate you or just outright kill you.
- Parental Neglect: He admits to Skeeve that he mostly left his kids' upbringing to other people.
- Trickster Mentor: How he mentors Skeeve, as well as the other characters.
Bunny
The voluptuous daughter of the Fairy Godfather, a naïve but overall clever and organized girl who becomes one of Skeeve's most trusted friends.- Ascended Extra: She starts as a minor character whose importance is more that she is tied to Don Bruce, but overtime takes on more vital roles in the story. Eventually she replaces Tananda and as a female lead, and in some stories even becomes Skeeve's right-hand helper instead of Aahz.
- Ignored Enamored Underling: Her crush on him doesn't affect her relationship with Skeeve himself, but her endless need to impress him makes her awful to work with.
- Ms. Fanservice: Alongside Tananada, she is described being one of the most gorgeous girls in the series. She is usually found wearing short-cut dresses that show off how well-endowed she is.
- Ship Tease: Both she and Skeeve have crushes on each other, but both are too shy to admit it.
- So Beautiful, It's a Curse: According to her, she took up as a moll because men wouldn't hire her for business jobs lest it look like they had a mistress on the payroll.
Chumley
A jolly and often unflappable troll who has both brains and brawn.- Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: Their females have green skin and hair, but are otherwise human. Their males are giant hairy ogres.
- The Big Guy: He hides his Genius Bruiser status behind Hulk Speak in public.
- Elective Broken Language: He is quite refined and erudite, but uses Hulk Speak for the purpose of Obfuscating Stupidity.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Like other trolls, Chumley plays dumb to enhance his skills' marketability.
- Only Sane Man: Skeeve comments that Chumley is the most stable of the group.
Don Bruce
The Fairy Godfather and Bunny's father. He is a powerful and dangerous figure across the universe. Fortunately for the heroes, he is also honorable and becomes a close friend overtime.- Ambiguously Human: He looks human like Skeeve and his own daughter Bunny, but there are a lot of hints he might be an actual fairy.
- Fairy Godmother: A unique parody of this. Don Bruce can get you what you want, but there is always going to be a price.
- Horrifying the Horror: He is one of the few beings Aahz is sincerely afraid of.
- So Proud of You: He is sincerely impressed with Skeeve's accomplishments and is thankful for helping his daughter make something of herself. There is even a point he gives an entire speech on how much he respects and admires Skeeve.
Gleep
Skeeve's pet dragon. A goofy but loyal critter who is more than he seems.- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Gleep places a lot of value on Skeeve's happiness, but virtually no value on anyone else's life. His attempt to kill Markie is somewhat justified, but ...
- Pokémon Speak: at least at first.
- Some Call Me "Tim": He tells the audience they might as well stick with "Gleep", as he doesn't have the patience to coach them through the proper pronunciation of his real name.
Guido and Nunzio
Two tough as nails gangsters who Don Bruce lends to Skeeve. Eventually they become more loyal to Skeeve and become his bodyguards.- Badass Longcoat: They are consistently described wearing big longcoats that make them look even tougher. Guido, at least, is very proud of his.
- Badass Normal: In a cast filled with Trolls, Pervects, and hyper-competent assassins and magicians, Guido and Nunzio stand out as incredibly impressive fighters despite being fairly regular humans with no real combat training.
- Bodyguarding a Badass: Neither Guido nor Nunzio bear the slightest illusions that they'd be anything more than a speedbump if someone actually tried to assassinate Skeeve. They both admit that to him and are quite open that their job is to save his life by getting killed first so Skeeve can muster a defense or run away.
- Hidden Depths: Both bodyguards are college-educated and highly experienced. Nunzio, especially, is a former schoolteacher and animal trainer, and displays knowledge of comic books, Broadway plays, and advanced economics.
- The Mafia: They're nice guys, but they are legbreakers for the Mob.
- Plot Allergy: Guido's allergy to garlic and fur becomes an inconvenience when Skeeve brings him along to Limbo, home dimension of both vampires and werewolves.
King Roderick
An arrogant king who is one of the first major problems Skeeve and Aahz need to handle.- Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: Forced into it by that strongest of forces in the Myth Adventures universe: public opinion.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: Poor Roddy might have had a long and prosperous reign. But he died mysteriously and with very convenient timing. As it happens, he really did die mysteriously with convenient timing... of natural causes.
- Prince and Pauper: King Roderick planned to use Skeeve's facility with disguise spells to take a permanent vacation.
- Synchronization: To safeguard Possiltum, Skeeve tricks both of its monarchs into donning rings that link their lives, so neither can murder the other without killing themselves. It's nothing more than a con — as Queen Hemlock finds out when Roderick dies of natural causes and nothing happens.
Massha
An flirty and enormously fat woman who many think is a magician, though really just has a lot of magical artifacts. She is definitely not to be underestimated though, she is about as clever as Aahz.- Big Beautiful Woman: In Hugh Badaxe's opinion, though admittedly not in many others'.
- Brawn Hilda: Resembles this trope so much that one of her wedding guests is overheard to remark that "it (the wedding) won't be over until she sings." Bunny is not amused.
- Hidden Depths: Like most of the characters, there's a lot more to her, especially once you get to hear things from her POV.
- Impossibly Tacky Clothes: The colors of Massha's clothing, hair and cosmetics clash virulently with one another. This trope also extends to her choice of decor for The Fun House and the trappings for her wedding.
- Intimate Healing: She negates the Geek's state of extreme inebriation by smooching him. Apparently, she's had this effect on a lot of drunks.
- I Was Quite a Fashion Victim: Well, maybe not in her eyes, but between the loud fashion sense and tons of magical doodads, she still is.
- The Nicknamer: Her default mode; examples include Hot Stuff, Dark and Deadly, Green and Scaly, and on one memorable occasion, Short and About To Become Extinct.
- Obfuscating Vanity: Uses said fashion victim clothing, garish makeup, and loud, brash personality to hide her dependence on magical jewelry to do all her spellwork—and also her sensitivity and vulnerability thanks to being so overweight.
- Sad Clown: Once you get past the irreverent jokes and naughty humor.
- Stripperiffic: She dresses in a scanty fashion. Which is not doing anybody (except Hugh Badaxe) any favors Fanservice-wise.Skeeve: I've always meant to ask; why don't you, ah... wear more.
Massha: Magic is a high-stress profession. And if there's one thing worse than having a fat broad around, it's having a sweaty fat broad around.
Queen Hemlock
A vain and power-hungry queen who is a recurring antagonist.- Not Me This Time: She did not kill her husband just to Take Over the World.
- Synchronization: To safeguard Possiltum, Skeeve tricks both of its monarchs into donning rings that link their lives, so neither can murder the other without killing themselves. It's nothing more than a con — as Queen Hemlock finds out when Roderick dies of natural causes and nothing happens.
Quigley
A brutish self-proclaimed demon hunter.- Fantastic Racism: His first profession is demon hunter, essentially meaning his job is essentially tracking and killing aliens for being aliens.
- The Chew Toy: Gets conned out of nearly everything he owns, turned to stone, buried, dug up, dragooned into a mission he doesn't even faintly understand, marooned in an alien dimension, and locked into an employment contract barely a step above slavery. And it's hilarious.
Skeeve
The usual main character of most of the books. Often nervous, yet cunning when the need calls for it. His biggest strength though is his compassionate heart, helping him gather allies and form a corporation to help make the universe a better place.- Beware the Nice Ones: Skeeve is pretty scary when he really loses his temper.
- Compressed Vice: It takes an absurdly short amount of time for being the head of a corporation to go to Skeeve's head. Fortunately, he gets over it overtime.
- Guile Hero: he gets better at it as he goes along. Makes sense, seeing as he started life as a thief.
- Magnetic Hero: Most of the friends and allies tend to look to him as leader, though Aahz and Bunny can give him a run for the money, sometimes...
- Nice Guy: He's not top of the heap in brains, brawn or magical power; he tends to end up as the leader because he's likeable.
- Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Virtually every other member of the cast casually spouts references to 20th century Earth media, while Skeeve has trouble with simple idioms. Initially explained by his native dimension of Klah being a backwater, this gets called into question in later books when fellow Klahds like Nunzio prove to have the Earthly cultural literacy that Skeeve lacks.
- Ship Tease: With a few different female characters, though most prominently Bunny.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Strawberry milkshakes... At least, once he gets over his initial distaste because they look like pink mud.
Tananda
A female troll and is one of the faces of the series. A ferocious but kind hearted assassin who becomes one of the first members of Skeeve and Aahz' company.- Advertised Extra: Alongside Skeeve and Aahz, she is usually one of the most prominent characters on the book covers. This includes books where she is a minor character.
- Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: Their females? Green skin and hair, but otherwise human. Their males? Sweetums.
- Contortionist: Chained to a wall to hang by her wrists, she bends her foot back and high enough to slip a lockpick out of her boot with both thumbs behind her.
- Cool Big Sis: Skeeve realizes that his initial crush on Tanda has developed into this.
- Cute Monster Girl: Males of her race are Trolls. She's a Trollop and, aside from her hair and skin color, basically human.
- Demoted to Extra: Was consistently one of the main characters early on, but overtime her roles got smaller and smaller. Eventually Bunny replaces her as the female lead, pushing Tananda even farther into the background.
- Femme Fatale: Before joining Myth Inc., she was an assassin.
- Hitman with a Heart: A very nice person, despite one of her careers being "assassin".
- Ms. Fanservice: It is made quite clear she is utterly gorgeous and voluptuous, wearing clothes that further enhance her beauty.
- Stripperiffic: Most of her outfits are described as being very revealing. This is done both for the sake of movement flexibility and taking advantage of her beauty.
