The Bad Kids

Our six intrepid heroes: brand new freshmen to Aguefort Adventuring Academy who wind up together via detention. Their chance meeting becomes the start of a harrowing adventure.

In General

• Almighty Janitor: In comparison to the Seven, who are as powerful and accomplished as them, but enjoy much more status and popularity as adventurers. The Bad Kids are competent adventurers who've saved the world on two different occasions, but are still considered misfits and nobodies by their peers as late as Junior Year, as shown in the Boys' Night One-Shot. Similarly, while Aguefort has nothing but praise and respect for the Seven, he's a lot ruder with the Bad Kids, to the point of developing a slightly antagonistic relationship with Gorgug.
  • Highlighted in Junior Year. The Bad Kids spent a summer risking their life and wearing themselves thin to defeat the Night Yorb, who would have doomed the world to a slow, painful, sunless death, and after a grueling battle, they manage to seal it into Gorgug's van ... and immediately after returning home, they're faced with their junior year issues as if they were normal students, and sometimes even less than that.
    Fig: We just saved the world. I feel like that should count for a couple of classes.
• Amateur Sleuth: The threats they face in each season take the form of a mystery, which they all solve with each other and zero legal authority. In the group, Riz and Adaine are the most investigation-oriented, with them figuring out key pieces of the puzzles of Freshman and Sophomore Year repeatedly and usually being the two to investigate for clues.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn:
  • The boys: Fabian is a Proud Beauty, artistically-minded, and fights using graceful dance-like moves to outmaneuver his enemies and magic to support his allies (Beauty), Gorgug is straightforward, very strong, and has a simple, rawly powerful fighting style (Brawn), and Riz is clever, sneaky, and fights by taking advantage of his opponents' tactical errors to inflict more damage (Brains).
  • The girls: Adaine is intelligent, strategic, the voice of reason of the party, and uses her raw intellect to cast spells (Brains), Fig is rebellious, brash, the most physical fighter of them, and uses her force of personality to cast spells (Brawn), and Kristen is sweet, wise, the party's support caster, and uses her wisdom to channel her powers (Beauty).
• Beware the Nice Ones: A lot of them are some variation of nice, and they're all good-natured kids, but don't let that fool you, they are absolutely fine with brutality and murder (though some have to grow into it).
• Big Damn Reunion: After the horrors of the Forest of the Nightmare King, they share some meaningful reunions right before the final battle, including Kristen, who just resurrected herself.
• Black Comedy: Their cruelest acts are usually played for laughs.
• Black and White Magic: Downplayed. While Adaine has some utility spells and Kristen does have access to some offensive magic, they're mostly fit into the roles of Black Mage and White Mage respectively.
• Coming of Age Story: Typical for a high school setting; while killing monsters and solving mysteries, the Bad Kids are growing both physically and mentally, with all of them going through a fair deal of Character Development throughout the course of season one alone.
• Dork Knight: They're pretty much all dorks on some level, but they're all accomplished adventurers.
• Fire-Forged Friends: Their combined efforts in solving the mystery at Aguefort results in them forming a strong bond with one another.
• Freudian Trio: In any trio they form, Riz (inquisitive, neurotic, hard-working) and Adaine (anxious, learned, rational) are the Superegos, Kristen (kind, doubtful, upbeat) and Gorgug (sweet, timid, self-deprecating) are the Egos, and Fig (rebellious, emotional, bombastic) and Fabian (confident, reckless, devoted) are the Ids.
• Foil:
  • Fabian and Gorgug. Fabian is a cocky Boisterous Bruiser who's very concerned with his image and uses finesse and acrobatics to fight, while Gorgug is an insecure Bruiser with a Soft Center with self-esteem issues who fights with brute force alone.
  • Adaine and Fig. Adaine is a nervous, mild-mannered, socially awkward girl with emotionally abusive parents who uses her intelligence and academic knowledge to fight and help solve the mysteries they're presented with, and is the common sense of the group, while Fig is a brash, rebellious, charismatic girl with two sets of loving parents (though they have their faults) who uses charisma and social interactions to help the cases or cast spells, and is usually the party member who's the most prone to incredibly insane ideas.
  • Kristen and Riz. Kristen is a relaxed idealist with Cloudcuckoolander tendencies, a profound love for her girlfriend, Tracker, who she makes out with constantly, and great difficulties focusing on her duties as a cleric, while Riz is a high-strung pragmatist who's always grounded in reality, is completely uninterested by romance or sex, and a problem with hyperfocusing on his work as a private eye. When she runs for school president, Riz becomes her Hypercompetent Sidekick who has to rein in her chaotic tendencies.
• Generation Xerox: In terms of combat abilities, at least:
  • Kristen's parents are also divine casters with martial abilities, though they lean more towards physical combat, while Kristen is mostly focused on spellcasting.
  • Riz works very similarly to his mother, an intelligent investigator who uses roguish tactics in combat and during cases. After learning more about Pok, a secret agent with a bunch of magical gadgets, he incorporates those skills and equipment as well into his arsenal.
  • Fabian is a prodigious, charismatic, brutal fencer, much like Bill, and a precise, yet deadly Dance Battler, like Hallariel.
  • Adaine's parents are wizards strong enough to warp an entire house with conjuration magic and are very weak physically, as expected of traditional Fallinel elves. After she overcomes the forest of the Nightmare King, Adaine evolves more towards a spellsword style of combat, breaking the tradition of her family.
  • Fig's real dad is a pit fiend who not only grants her new powers later on but also plays guitar for his spells and brand of personal infernal magic.
  • Gorgug's rage is very similar to his biological father, Gorbag, in that he uses it to fight, but also to shred on the drums. He also learns a bit of artificing in Sophomore Year and outright focuses on it in his studies in Junior Year, as the Thistlesprings are also talented tinkerers,
• Guile Hero: Though all 6 of them have their moments of brilliance during fights, Adaine, Riz, and Fig stand out in particular.
  • After she comes into her own, Adaine proves to be a great strategist. Her ability to cast really useful spells at the right opportunity and her brilliant use of portents throughout the series has saved her party members or turned the tide of the fight multiple times. Her intelligence also means she's very good during investigation segments for putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
  • Riz, being an Amateur Sleuth, has an affinity for riddles and conspiracies, which comes in handy when the 2 campaigns have heavy mystery elements, and has the best track record for solving mysteries of the party. He's also very clever when fighting, a requirement to be an efficient rogue.
  • Fig is the most creative fighter of the party, bending the rules of her spells to their limits in order to accomplish what she wants them to do. She's also The Social Expert and The Face of the party and uses these skills to advance the cases they're on.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation:
  • At the beginning of the series, Adaine is deeply insecure about her ability as a wizard, due to her parents' constant emotional abuse and her anxiety disorder messing up her studies. Her belief that she's a failure, especially because of the latter, lasts for most of the show, until Jawbone helps her get medication and makes her a speech about illnesses not defining their bearers.
  • Fabian considers himself a lesser version of his father and worries about not living up to his legacy. He's also got some insecurities about his friends not seeing worth in him as a person and his own personal ability, especially after the Leviathan arc.
  • Gorgug is really insecure about his intelligence, which he acknowledges is not great, especially considering his parents are Gadgeteer Geniuses and is sad about his loner and "freak" status at school.
  • Fig's constant deceptions and inability to form healthy relationships have destroyed her self-esteem, to the point that she doesn't believe that she has any true qualities that her friends would like and feels like she needs to compensate with a fake persona of charisma.
  • Riz has trouble relating to his friends, except when they're in danger, and as a result of this and his love for mysteries, believes his friends' love to be conditional to his usefulness, and thus secondary.
• Magic Knight:
  • After taking a level of Hexblade Warlock, Fig can use her Charisma modifier, her best stat, instead of her Dexterity or Strength modifier when attacking with her bass guitar, allowing her combat stat to be on par with Fabian's, Gorgug's, and Riz's.
  • Gorgug taking a level in Artificer allows him to use magical technology as well as cast some support spells, like Jump or Cure Wounds.
  • After Fabian finds his mojo back, he takes three levels of Bard from the College of Swords, using his magical abilities to empower his magic sword, Fandrangor, or to cast spells to help him or the others in battle, such as Heroism or Faerie Fire.
  • Adaine's ordeal in the Forest of the Nightmare King has bumped her Strength to 14, which allows her to better handle herself in melee combat. It's compounded by her new arcane focus, the Sword of Sight, which makes her a much more competent fighter.
• Mid-Season Upgrade: All of the Bad Kids get some useful item or upgrade around halfway through Season 1 via gifts from an anonymous source (later revealed to be Fabian).
  • Fabian receives a container of automotive wax that magically repairs Damage done to The Hangman.
  • Gorgug receives a holster that upgrades his Axe into a +1 weapon.
  • Fig receives a magical guitar pic that allows her to use several powerful spells once a day.
  • Riz receives a Briefcase of Holding.
  • Adaine receives a gift card to a high-end clothier where she purchases a "Jean Jacket of Useful Items."
  • Kristen receives a Book of Comparative Religions, which gives her Advantage on Religion checks.
  • It happens again over the course of season 2.
    • Fabian claims the sword Fandrangor after rescuing Adaine and recovering from Leviathan.
    • Gorgug gains the Heavy Metal Axe and sping shoes from the gnomes in Arborly.
    • Fig becomes an archdevil after inheriting her Gortholax's dominion, and gets the Infaethable Bass from him as once he's freed.
    • Adaine learns the spell Adaine's Furious Fist as a gift from Ayda, and loots the Sword of Sight from her father once she kills him.
    • Kristen gains the Staff of Doubt when she rejects Galicaea's offer and puts her faith in the Unnamed Goddess.
    • Riz gets an ensamble of angelic equipment from Heaven after reuniting with his father.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Basically the Breakfast Club but with D&D.
• Senior Year Struggles: A junior version. A big part of Junior Year is each Bad Kid struggling with difficult and often self-inflicted obstacles:
  • Fabien, Fig, and Gorgug need to deal with the MCAT after multiclassing. Fabian succeeds, but that means he has to do 150% of the year's coursework along with the Owlbears and his need to establish himself as the new party king of Aguefort. He's also left on his own after Hallariel and Gilear go on vacation and has his inheritence dangled in front of him.
  • Gorgug's MCAT gets blocked by Porter due to his poor performance in class. Another professor has a solution... but it means taking three years of Artificer classes on top of his normal coursework. Throw in the Owlbears and he has it the worst academically.
  • Fig is dangerously close to failing due to skipping Bard classes for two years. Outside of school, her sophmore album is ten months late, a federal agent is investigating missing persons cases tied to her feigned identities, she's neglecting her duties as an archdevil, and a Gilear-themed curse seems to have taken root in her. On top of all of that, she's questioning whether she wants to be a Bard or not.
  • Adaine's classes require tons of expensive components (several barrels' worth of diamonds are on the cheaper side of things). Desperate not to burden her friends or family, she's taking up any job she can find while dealing with her duties as the Elven Oracle.
  • Riz's grades are fine, but his chances of getting into a good college get a lot harder when his mom is screwed out of her pension. On top of micromanaging everyone else's issues, he's signed up for every club possible in order to boost his resume.
  • Kristen's grade is directly tied to how her god is doing. It's not going great. Her relationship to Cassadra sours due to lack of commitment and she disappears at the end of episode 5. This is on top of her failing to properly file the paperwork for her new gods after the previous died (twice), which means she's close to failing already. This is happening as she tries to run for Student Council President, which has only made her existing problems worse.
• Town Girls: In Freshman and Sophomore Year, the rebellious Fig is Butch, the sweet Kristen is Femme, and the rational Adaine is Neither.
• True Companions: They've become this by Season 2, being willing to sacrifice themselves to save their friends if they have to.
• Unscrupulous Hero: As a general rule, despite their best intentions, they are all, to quote Sklonda, "criminal vigilantes," which is exactly the type of hero the adventuring academy promotes. Among their crimes in the process of saving the world are murder, theft, and trespassing. That being said, they're still heroic, in that they work to save the world and/or help people, often without any reward or obligation.

Fabian Seacaster

Fabian Seacaster

Played by: Lou Wilson

^{Click here to see Fabian during Sophomore Year}

"I'm Fabian Seacaster! Son of Bill Seacaster! And I'm here to be great!"

Race: Half-Elf

Class: Fighter (Champion formerly, Battle Master currently) / Bard (College of Swords)

The half-elf son of notorious pirate William Seacaster. He's trained his entire life to become the next Big Man on Campus and strives to make his father proud.

---

• Amazon Chaser: Aelwyn's ferocity and power has him smitten, and after trading insults with Torek, he admits that "he never found a beard so sexy".
• Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Underneath his enormous ego is a young man who feels the pressure of his family legacy and a very fragile personal image.
• Break the Haughty: While he is humbled a few times in Freshman Year and learns a few lessons, he remains rather arrogant and reckless into Sophomore Year, before a harrowing encounter with Captain James Whitclaw, his late father's Arch-Enemy, in the pirate city of Leviathan leads to him getting a group of friendly pirates killed. This causes him to enter an intense Heroic BSoD while he confronts his flaws and undergoes some much needed Character Development, as discussed below.
• Character Catchphrase: Picks up one as his main mantra for his bardic inspirations: "Spring break, I believe in you!"
• Character Development: After his freshman year, he's a lot less outwardly confident and brash, but is more compassionate towards his friends.
  • After getting seriously beaten by Whitclaw and thrown into a great sadness, finding a great liking in dancing while he gains his confidence back, and a conversation with Hallariel and Cathilda, he decides to stop defining himself in regards to his father, leaning more on his elven heritage, but remaining largely defined by his choices, personality, and his own relationships, namely the other Bad Kids.
• Dance Battler: After losing his confidence and getting a pep talk from his mother and Cathilda, Fabian takes inspiration from his elven side and starts incorporating dance into his combat style. Specifically, his dancing is somewhat ballet-like with an elven bed sheet that he twirls around while he performs.

  Fabian: "Toxic masculinity is dead! I DANCE NOW!"

• Dating Catwoman: One of his motivations in season 2 is finding Aelwyn is in order to be her boyfriend.
• Eye Scream: Fabian gets his eye torn out by Dayne when Seacaster Manor is invaded by Harvestmen.
• Eyepatch of Power: Inherits his father's eyepatch after Bill dies, which gives Fabian immunity to being frightened.
• Gameplay and Story Integration: To showcase the depths of his Heroic BSoD, he loses all of his class features and Champion subclass. He later gains the Battlemaster subclass along with taking levels in Bard, showing his path to self-confidence and finding his own identity.
• Generation Xerox: Fabian's Verbal Tic laugh, "Ha-HA!" is an example of this, if Fandrangor, which was forged by his grandfather, is anything to go by.
• Heroic BSoD: Thanks to Lou suffering a long string of Nat Ones, has a huge one after his crushing defeat against Captain Whitclaw.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: He was the one who bought the anonymous gifts for the Bad Kids, and waited before telling them the truth because he didn't want them to believe that there was only money that mattered in this friendship.
• Insult of Endearment: Always refers to Riz as "The Ball".
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Even after Character Development, he's still a bit of a thoughtless prick.
• The Leader: Is a natural fit for this role, but subverted in that the group is more of a democracy than a strict autocracy.
• Like Father, Unlike Son: Bill is initially angry that Fabians friends don't treat him with fear like is old crewmates did and yells about how Fabian will never be like him. However, in his palimpsest message, he's actually relieved that Fabian isn't growing up to be just like him and wants him to explore and find himself.
• Lovable Jock: Has the letterman jacket and ego to match, but cares deeply for his friends.
• Patricide: A version without hatred between the two. After running to his father to try and save him, only to find him minutes before his death, and a conversation with him, he plunges his sword in his chest, understanding that it would be an honour for Bill to die at the hand of his son.
• Nouveau Riche: He lives in a large mansion created from his father's old pirate ship.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Had no problem with his father bribing the Owlbear coach to get him on the team.
• Spoiled Sweet: The richest of the Bad Kids, and while he's abrasive at first, he's responsible for getting them all of the gifts in Season 1 that act as character upgrades.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Kippers.
• Trauma Conga Line: Goes through this in season 2, where he fails to impress members of his father's cult, gets most of them killed, and has a nightmare of turning into Gilear when he grows up. He then wakes up to find he was brainwashed into swimming out into a sure death in the middle of the ocean.
• Upper-Class Twit: Initially comes off as one due to his stuffy accent and using his name to gain favors. He grows out of it throughout Freshman Year.
• Verbal Tic: Fabian has a characteristic swashbuckling laugh of "Ha-HA!"
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Riz, at least to begin with. Fabian continues to refer to Riz by the insulting nickname "The Ball", long after Ragh's Heel–Face Turn and the Bad Kids becoming Fire-Forged Friends.
• Weak, but Skilled: Downplayed. While he's pretty strong and proficient in athletics, Fabian's preferred weapons are finesse weapons, which use his Dexterity modifier, and he prefers to use his environment, like the halfpipe or Gilear's face, to give him an advantage over his foes.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: Even though his father dotes on him, he still works his hardest to earn his respect.

Kristen Applebees

St. Kristen Applebees

Played by: Ally Beardsley

^{Click here to see Kristen in Sophomore Year}

"You guys wanna join my prayer chain message?"

Race: Human

Class: Cleric (Life Domain formerly, Twilight Domain currently)

The eldest child of the Applebees family and faithful follower of the corn god Helio. She comes to Aguefort to rub elbows with the diverse student body and experience everyday teenage life.

---

• The Anti-Nihilist: Her arc in the second season leads her to stop holding doubt as a belief, but as a practice, and to believe in something true.
• Betrayal by Offspring: Dishes this out to her parents after finally getting sick of their closed-minded, racist ways and lack of answers regarding her questions in faith from them, resulting in her going to live with Fig.
• Beyond the Impossible: Defying what is possible in the world of Spyre is just another day in the life of Kristen Applebees. This is fitting considering her player rolls with near supernatural luck, rolling out Natural 20s at the most narratively significant moments.
  • The first time is at the end of Freshman Year when Ally rolls a Nat 20 to bring Kristen back to life, which results in her travelling to the void where gods are created, resulting in Kristen creating her own god.
  • Taken even further in Sophomore Year when Kristen becomes a full-blown saint after she resurrects herself and begins worshiping the Goddess of Mystery and gives her a new name.
• Big Sister Instinct: Before the Final Battle of the first campaign, Kristen is tempted to leave her bigoted parents to fend for themselves against Kalvaxus's forces, but she immediately changes her mind when she hears her little brother cry for help while on the phone with her mom.
  • At the start of Sophomore Year, after moving into Mordred Manor, she gets Adaine to Mage-Hand in a bag of gold for her brothers from her share of Kalvaxus' hoard before setting off on their adventure.
  • Later in Junior Year, upon reuniting with her little brother Bucky, she protects him against their parents' bullying, and (unsuccessfully) tries to reassure him he's not going to Hell for lying to their parents about the gold.
• Casual Kink: Kristen is very sweet and kind-hearted, but she is also implied to be into pretty hardcore bondage.
  Kristen: I have hardcore sex regularly, and somehow I'm the sweet one with a heart of gold.
• Cloudcuckoolander: After the events of Freshman Year, Kristen is very prone to make odd comments and have crazy plans, who, unlike Fig's crazy plans, don't even rely on her personal skills. One of those ends up breaking her leg after she tried to pull off some Indiana Jones-style whip acrobatics, with a -3 to acrobatics and a ribbon dancer, which might be one of the reasons why she gets along really well with Aguefort.
• Coming-Out Story: Her entire arc in Season One is this, coming to the realization that she's gay and starting a relationship with Tracker.
• Commitment Issues: The Junior Year campaign focuses on the fallout of hers; YES? died due to her suddenly shifting her worship over to Cassandra, Tracker broke up with her in part because of her flighty nature, and she's using humor and being a Cloudcuckoolander to cope with the deep-seated religious trauma she has, rather than doing anything about it.
• Crisis of Faith: Experiences a major one throughout the entire series, or rather a series of such when she becomes displeased with her current god not being able to fulfill her desire for answers.
• Crystal Dragon Jesus: Her family worships Helio, the God of Corn, and has all the hallmarks of a Midwestern Christian family.
• Depower: As of Episode 6 of Junior Year, Kristen does not have a god to give her any divine abilities, with YES? being dead and Cassandra's fate being uncertain, meaning that she cannot cast spells or use cleric abilities.
• Disorganized Outline Speech: Thanks to one of her feats, she can make an inspiring speech to make everyone gain temporary hitpoints. A Running Gag is that these speeches are rarely motivational, and that most of them devolving slowly into her rambling about whatever question is haunting her this time, with the one that doesn't devolve into this beginning like this:
  Kristen: Guys, I'm not gonna mince words: there's no God.
• Doom as Test Prize: Rolls a natural 20 on a religion check at the end of "The Forest of the Nightmare King" in Season 2 and is promptly gored by a unicorn skeleton.
• Family of Choice: Is accused of this by her biological parents, saying that she clearly sees her friends as her new family. Of course, she probably doesn't see this as a bad thing.
• Fitness Nut: Has developed into this by Junior Year with the muscles and protein shakes to match. She's even ditched her tye dye aesthetic for a tracksuit.
• Gameplay and Story Integration: After she becomes a follower of Cassandra the Goddess of Mystery, Night and Magic she switches from the Life Domain to the Twilight Domain to reflect the shift in the source of her powers.
• Granola Girl: Has a tye-dye shirt and worships a god of the harvest.
• Heroic Sacrifice: She casts Greater Restoration on Riz and cures him of Kalina's plague as a way to Take a Third Option on Kalina's deal, subjecting herself to her wrath. Fortunately, she's carried away by Fig and protected by Fabian outside of the forest before she dies.
• It's Not You, It's My Enemies: After a particularly stressful encounter with Kalina where she threatens to kill Tracker in front of Kristen, she tries to handcuff Tracker to stop her from going with them in the Nightmare Forest, to the latter's discontent.
• The Klutz: It's doesn't come up too much, but she does have a Dexterity modifier of -3, causing her to fail spectacularly the few acrobatics checks she tries to do.
• Nay-Theist: Even after meeting Helio himself in death, she eventually stops worshipping him. Somewhat downplayed in the sense that she still worships a god.
  • She starts to become visibly annoyed with YES! by the start of her sophomore year, and even after an attempt to improve things by changing them into YES? she is still clearly somewhat reluctant to be following them.
  • Eventually averted when she learns about an unnamed goddess who was a "little sister" to Galicaea that was destroyed by her own followers. Kristen becomes especially fascinated by the goddess as she learns more about her, her teachings and her followers' practices she begins to think of her as a deity she would actually enjoy worshipping. This eventually culminates in Kristen becoming the first new follower of the unnamed goddess in over 800 years, allowing the Nightmare King to reform into the benevolent Cassandra.
• Nice Girl: She is genuinely nice to people, in fact being the only one of the Bad Kids who only goes into detention because she asks Coach Daybreak to give it to her so she can help the Bad Kids be better people.
• Offscreen Breakup: She and Tracker broke up sometime before Junior Year.
• Pals with Jesus: Meets her original god Helio and his father Sol multiple times over both seasons, enough to be very casual with them while in their presence.
  • Kristen creates her own god at the end of freshman year, the new deity YES! that's formed from the positive affirmation she put out into the void where gods originate.
  • Still in full effect with her new deity at the end of sophomore year, becoming the first follower of Cassandra the Goddess of Mystery, Night and Magic who is also the reformed Nightmare King.
• Platonic Kissing: When she comes out to her friends the second time, she kisses them all.
  Riz: That was my first kiss...
  Kristen: Well, I'm gay, so you're gonna have to talk about this in therapy later.
• Punny Name: Her first name could be an intentional play on "Christian" as in Christianity.
• Rebellious Spirit: A subversion. On the surface she's so squeaky clean and nice that you'd think she would be the last person to fit this trope. But it's precisely because she practices the spirit as well as the letter of Helio's teachings that she's in rebellion against her racist parents and religiously-conservative community.
• Technical Pacifist: Discussed in Fantasy High Live in Brooklyn, where she at first refutes Hargis' assumption that they all murdered people, only for Fabian to remind her that she blessed him in order to kill their enemies, and Adaine to point out that her spirit guardians also killed a bunch of people.
• Token Religious Teammate: Comes with being a cleric, but is also the kid who comes from a religiously conservative family.

Gorgug Thistlespring

Gorgug Thistlesprings

Played by: Zac Oyama

^{Click here to see Gorgug in Freshman Year}

^{Click here to see Gorgug in Sophomore Year}

"Are you my dad?"

Race: Half-Orc

Class: Barbarian (Path of the Berserker) / Battle-Smith Artificer

A half-orc teen who was adopted by gnomes. Is having trouble coping with his place in the world.

---

• Ambiguously Bi: He clearly has a crush on Zelda, but is also totally fine with kissing Ragh on the lips in "Prompacalypse" to give him some motivation.
• Archetypal Character: Subverted. Half-Orc Barbarians are very common character in DnD parties, due to Half-Orcs having bonus on the two stats that matter for Barbarians, as well as racial abilities and common lore that synergize well with this class. Them having Intelligence as their Dump Stat is also common. What isn't common is their personality being that of a socially awkward loner with few emotional outlets and self-conscious about their intelligence. It's further subverted when Gorgug takes a level in Artificer and has his Intelligence bumped from 8 to 14.
• The Alleged Car: The Hangvan *looks* like this, but it's subverted after it becomes possessed by a celestial - then it becomes a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis to the Hangman.
• Berserk Button: A mild one, but he gets really pissed off by Telemaine's mangling of very simple words.
  Gorgug: So this is like a different high school?
  Telemaine: Hichohl?
  Gorgug: (incredulously aggravated) Come on ... You know the word high, right?
• The Berserker: Fitting of being a barbarian, but really the result of being a socially awkward teen with few emotional outlets.
• Disappeared Dad: To the point where he asks nearly everybody if they could be his dad. In the season finale, he finally meets his dad Gorbag who happened to be in the orc band playing for prom.
• Dumb Is Good: Both the nicest and dimmest of the PCs, so much so that half of his insights end up with him asking someone if they're his dad or wondering about his dad.
  • Sophomore Years shows this trope being deconstructed - Gorgug only *thinks" he's dumb , when in actuality, he's just lacking in self confidence about his intelligence. Admitting that there are things he doesn't know but that he's willing to learn and ask for help and dealing with that is a big part of his arc. See Dumbass No More below.
• Dumbass No More: After the grueling ordeal of going through the Nightmare Forest, he finally overcomes his impostor syndrome, and gets an increased intelligence score of 14 (compared to his previous 9)
• Emo Teen: Has the hoodie, the headphones, and hair to match.
• Family Theme Naming: Gorgug and his father Gorbag.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Becomes one after he embraces his gnomish upbringing and takes a level in Artificer. His spells are flavored as Magitek machines like a defibrillator for Spare the Dying or springs in his shoes for Jump.
• Genius Ditz: Despite still having an Intelligence score of 8, he takes a level in Artificier, and manages to do some difficult work with this score, like reviving the Hangman or connecting the party's phones to his parent's satellite. Drops the ditz part after his Intelligence score jumps to 14.
• Gentle Giant: He's the tallest of the other kids, but is genuinely a very kind person at heart and tries his best to not scare others.
• Happily Adopted: Though he asks many people if they're his father, he loves the Thithlesprings dearly, and in fact continues to live with them after he finds Gorbag and Roz, his biological parents.
• Interspecies Adoption: An Orc Raised by Elves, well technically gnomes.
• Kindhearted Simpleton: He's incredibly sweet and generous despite his 9 intelligence score. Later inverted in season two where he multiclasses as an artificer, a traditionally intelligence-based class and then gets an increased intelligence score.
• Locked into Strangeness: During the fight in Episode 14, a double Critical attack from two ghosts gives him wrinkles and a shock of white hair.
• Luke, I Might Be Your Father: Arthur Aguefort notes that he was going to ask Gorgug if the half-orc was his dad at the end of the first season, to Gorgug's confusion. Given Aguefort is a Time Master, he may have been serious.
  Gorgug: I'm just gonna ask. Professor Aguefort, are you my dad?
  Aguefort: I was about to ask you the very same thing.
  Gorgug: What?
• Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: He's a lanky, awkward half-orc who just wants to make friends.
• No-Sell: One of his Barbarian abilities, Mindless Rage, makes him immune to charm and fear effects while he's raging. This ends up saving his skin multiple times.
• No Social Skills: Has absolutely no idea how to interact with his peers.
• Ship Tease: With Zelda. They end up dating by the end of "Prompocalypse".
• Shrinking Violet: He's very shy, nice to a fault, and doesn't have a high esteem of himself.
• Smarter Than You Look: Gorgug is very self-aware about his intelligence, especially considering he grew up with genius engineers, but while he has some blind spots, he proves himself to be quite smart troughout Sophomore Year as he does his fair share of figuring out mysteries. In particular, he manages to use his knowledge of his parents' work and of the tinkerers of Arborly to create cellphone signal outside of Solace, something that his inability to achieve before was giving him anxiety.
• Snark Ball: Grabs it around Telemaine, who he angrily and mercilessly mocks about him mispronouncing words.
  Gorgug: ''(after Telemaine pronounces "Gorgug" as "Chej") It sounds like literally no sound was correct in that.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Gorgug's usual strategy is to just use brute force over and over again. Fortunately, he's extremely good at this.
  • subverted Junior Year when, after much experimenting and practice, Gorgug figures out how to do something no one thought he'd be able to do- keep concentration for spell casting *while* raging!

"Is this what public school is like?"

Race: High Elf

Class: Wizard (School of Divination)

The youngest daughter of Fallinel's Elven ambassador. Ends up at Aguefort after failing the entrance exams to Hudol Academy due to a panic attack. A child of wealth and prestige, she's all too aware of her shortcomings.

---

• Alliterative Name: Adaine Abernant. Seems to be a family convention.
• Berserk Button: Despite being on average the most rational and level-headed of her friends, she will drop all of her inhibitions when her family is involved in an antagonistic manner and furiously attack them.
• Broken Tears: In the final battle after running away, Jawbones comes across her and asks if she's okay. Adaine sounds incredibly close to breaking down after Jawbones asks if she regularly gets panic attacks and whether or not her parents gave her any medication for it.
• Character Tic: When she's being smug towards or is mad at someone, she tends to flip them off with a double bird.
• The Chosen One: Finds out she's the next Elven Oracle in the penultimate episode of the first campaign.
• Crystal Ball: Fitting for a Wizard specializing in the school of divination, her arcane focus is a crystal ball.
• Enhanced Punch: In return for helping her learn Plane Shift, Ayda creates the Adaine's Furious Fists spell and gifts it to her, which allows her unarmed strikes to do an additional 2d10 force damage and knock back the target a certain distance, and increases the damage dealt by increments of 2d10 for each level above 1st that the spell is cast at (substantially powerful for only a 1st-level level). She uses this spell, cast at 5th-level, to finally put an end to Angwyn after all of the abuse he subjected her to both prior to and throughout Sophomore Year by killing him in a single blow.
• Family of Choice: After living under her parents, she soon comes to adopt the Bad Kids and the other adults who had been kind to her like Jawbones as her true family.
• Fortune Teller: She's a Divination Wizard and the Elven Oracle, and as such gets visions from the future from times to times.
• Happily Adopted: She's now living happily with Jawbone, her legal guardian.
• Helpless with Laughter: She weaponizes this in the form of the Tasha's Hideous Laughter spell, which she most notably uses on her sister (twice). Her first attempt failed due to Aelwyn succeeding on her saving throw, causing it to rebound back on Adaine. Her second attempt succeeds due to Fabian restraining her beforehand and Aelwyn managing to fail her saving throw, allowing Adaine to relish in her sister's resulting humiliation as the spell takes effect and she starts laughing uncontrollably in front of her fellow Hudol associates.
• An Ice Person: Her main offensive cantrip is Ray of Frost.
• Impoverist Patrician: Becomes this when she disowns her parents, and it becomes an issue during Junior Year when all of her wizarding components costs so much she has to get a part-time job.
• It Gets Easier: On her first kill, she's completely horrified, as it was mostly accidental. Halfway through the season, she's completely fine with killing her enemies, even venomously declaring to her sister her intent to kill her.
• Mayfly–December Friendship: The Forest of the Nightmare King reveals that her greatest fear is growing more and more detached from the world as she loses everyone she loves to the tides of time. It's the reason her vision of her future self is dressed in full widower garb. It's a reasonable concern, considering her friend with the longest lifespan at the time was Fabian, a half-elf with a 300 years lifespan, which is paltry compared to Adaine's immortal nature.
• Minored in Ass-Kicking: After her Strength increase, she gets the sword of Sight from her father's corpse, allowing her to become a more proficient physical fighter.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Thanks to a combination of her parents' treatment toward her and the action of the Fallinel government after her sister's arrest, Adaine severs all connections to her homeland and opts to stay in Solace despite the pleading and generous offers from the elven government.
• Nervous Wreck: Is prone to panic attacks due to her family's expectations and the general pressure of high school. It worsens the most when the Bad Kids try to fight Kalvaxus as she unintentionally abandons them when influenced by dragon fear. Thankfully, Jawbone came to her aid and gives her the anxiety medication she desperately needed all her life.
• Only Sane Woman: She's usually the party member that's least likely to commit wild errors of judgement, though she does have a strong temper when it comes to her family. She also gets the straight man role the most often.
• Parental Abandonment: After Aelwyn is sent to jail, a war breaks out and her parents use their influence to free Aelwyn. Once they flee the country, they don't even consider bringing Adaine along with them or even tell her where they went. As much as Adaine hates her parents, she's clearly hurt over being seen as less than her sister no matter how hard she tries.
  Adaine: (tearfully) My parents just left and I don't know where they are.
• Patricide: A provoked example; after her father, Angwyn, threatens to forcibly change her into the person he wants her to be and strikes Aelwyn down in cold blood, she uses Adaine's Furious Fists on him, dealing 77 damage and killing him in a single blow.
• School Uniforms are the New Black: Is depicted wearing a school uniform despite Aguefort Academy not having one. This appears to be enforced by her parents who keep buying her clothes.
• Seers: She's a Diviner, which means she has an affinity for scrying and gaining knowledge through her magic, along with the ability to replace any roll made in her vicinity with one of the rolls she made at the beginning of the day. Then comes The Reveal in the penultimate episode of Freshman year that she's the Elven Oracle, thus making her possibly the most powerful Seer in the world.
• Sibling Rivalry: Absolutely HATES her older sister. They reconcile at the end of Season 2 after Adaine forces her sister to realize their parents are abusive monsters.
• The Smart Guy: Shares this role with Riz, being the most learned and book-smart of her friends, while having the common sense that most of them lack.
• Squishy Wizard: As expected from her D&D class, but further emphasized by her panic attacks. She's not exactly super fit.
  • The events of Sophomore year eventually upgrades her to Kung-Fu Wizard status, particularly the part of her saga when she delivers just desserts to her father.
• Straight Man: Easily the least-zany of The Bad Kids. Siobhan has stated that she loves how Adaine serves as a foil to the other kids' whacky antics and misunderstandings, like when she desperately tried to explain that a cortado without milk isn't a cortado.
• Stuffy Brit: Seems to be an Elven trait, but her family ramps it up to a T.
• Took a Level in Badass: After triumphing of the Forest of the Nightmare King, every member of the Bad Kids minus Kristen take an ability score increase, most of them in Wisdom or Intelligence. Adaine, however, gained 8 points of Strength, allowing her to become a more effective melee fighter with her new arcane focuse.
• The Unfavorite: Is constantly compared to her older, more successful sister Aelwyn.
  Adaine: You've treated me as a second class citizen for as long as I can remember.

"Start with the friends. Then get the clues."

Race: Goblin

Class: Rogue (Inquisitive formerly, Arcane Trickster currently)

A young aspiring private eye with a knack for detective work and trouble. He's on the search for his missing friend Penny and also hopes for a new start in high school.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: His mom refers to him as "kiddo" or at times, "honey".
  • Over time, "The Ball" becomes one from his friends.
• Ambiguously Gay: Riz refers to Baron, a character intentionally kept gender-neutral, with he/him pronouns and a "boy", making it possible that he considers any hypothetical relationships he could have to be with another boy. Whether this is intentional on the player's part or defaulting to view a gender-neutral character as male is unknown.
  • Subverted, Riz is actually Ace according to Word of God. He created Baron while still in the closet, as a means to "prove" to himself he was “normal”, and thus feel less alienated from his sex-crazed peers.
• Arch-Enemy: Kalina is his. He's more connected to her than the other Bad Kids, with her being his father's former partner, and him having been infected by her disease since the day he was born. He is also the biggest thorn in her side due to his detective work, and she is personally responsible for his father's death. In the end, he's the one that ends up killing her.
• Babysitter Friendship: His former babysitter, Penny Luckstone, was his first friend. Finding her after she goes missing is his primary motivation during his freshman year.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: His character art depicts him as dressed way too formally for high school, in a three-piece suit with a vest and a newsboy cap. This makes him look simultaneously professional and incredibly dorky.
• Beautiful All Along: Parodied in Sophomore Year. When Riz's newsboy cap falls off of his head, it reveals apparently gorgeous, "Timothee-Chalamet-like" hair which the rest of the party agree makes him significantly more good-looking.
• Bond One-Liner: To Kalvaxus after fatally stabbing him.
  Riz: I don't know how long it's gonna take me, but I'm gonna eat you!!
• Clueless Detective: Unintentionally played with. Riz was meant to be a hard-nosed investigator, picking up clues and solving mysteries, and he is capable of solving those puzzles once he has enough clues to put all the pieces together. Unfortunately, finding those clues requires skill checks (usually Investigation, Perception or Insight), and even though Riz might have high skill modifiers, Murph has terrible luck on dice rolls; as such, most clues escape his notice. In Freshman Year, the progession for finding vital clues was usually "Riz looks for clues, fails his skill check; the rest of the party rolls, someone succeeds, and they tell Riz what they found". He also murdered an unconcious Coach Daybreak, which completely wiped out any chance to interrogate him and gather crucial information that could have solved the mystery much sooner. This gets (somewhat) better in Sophomore Year, when he eventually levels up enough to gain the "Keen Eye" perk (which allows him to roll Investigation checks with advantage).
• Cowboy Cop: While mostly as by-the-book as his mother, Riz nonetheless has shades of this, such as willingly disobeying the law and his Mom's orders in order to get deeper into a case or do the right thing and shooting Biz's fingers off to get information out of him. Of course, this behavior, whenever it does pop up, is usually deconstructed, such as disobeying the rules getting him into genuine legal trouble and his Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique encountering one of the fundamental flaws of the practice- that being that that the victim might not know a thing, or may have been magically beguiled into believing the wrong thing.
• Disappeared Dad: His father died when he was young, leaving his mother to raise him. It's later revealed he was trying to track down a ship called The Harpy trying to stop Kalvaxus and was devoured by him.
• The Dragonslayer: He gets the final blow on Kalvaxus, stabbing him straight through the head with the Sword of Shadows from above.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Was called "The Briefcase Kid" in middle school and earns a new one as "The Ball" due to literally being dunked by the local jocks.
• Extreme Omnivore: Doesn't seem too picky with foods, and even tearing and eating pieces of Kalvaxus as revenge for the dragon eating his father.
• Girlfriend in Canada: In sophomore year, he claims to have a "romantic interest" named Baron from The Baronies. This comes back to bite him in the ass in a huge way when "Baron" manifests as a nightmarish mirror image and abducts him.
• Good Is Not Soft: One of the party members most concerned with morality and saving people, but completely merciless when it comes to dealing with his enemy, having one of the highest kill-count of the party, and definitely the most significant.
• Human Notepad: During a drug-fueled frenzy in Sophomore Year, he decided to get "Memento Tattoos" all over his body.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: To Fig, during her rise to power in Hell. He took care of the technicalities of the trial, and was the one to figure out how to get Gorthalax out of trouble with the devils with a loophole that coincidentally allowed Fig to become an Archdevil.
• Hypocritical Humor: When Riz sees a photo of his father when he was going through puberty and looking extremely nerdy, he calls out his dad as "an absolute dork!" with no trace of self-awareness.
• Kid Detective: Has the magnifying glass, briefcase, and cards to prove it.
• I Resemble That Remark!: Played with. When Kalina remarks that he's jumpy, implying that he's paranoid, he directly replies with "I'm not paranoid" before she even says it, thus confirming her implication.
• It Runs in the Family:
  • His mom is a clever police detective with a strong drive for justice. She also start to pull all-nighters and drink copious amounts of caffeine when she starts studying for her law degree.
  • His dad is a roguish spy with the same heroic spirit as him, who also used to be a dorky teenager.
• It's Personal: While everyone has a reason to go after Kalvaxus, Riz is out for blood due to the dragon eating his father and being the reason he's no longer in Riz's life.
• Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Does this to Biz, to no end.
• Nice Guy: He's overall a kind person, going out of his way to protect his friends when he can. One of the reasons he started his investigation was because his babysitter went missing and he considered her his first friend before the Bad Kids became his friends.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He's usually sweet, good-natured, and enjoys having adventures very much. However, when it comes to the Palimpsest conspiracy and his babysitter's kidnapping, he becomes coldly efficient and pragmatic.
  • A more lighthearted rendition of this- Riz gets so angry about Kipperlily and the Rat Grinders grinding that he straight up punches a locker and has to be talked down by Gorthalax and the party.
• Our Goblins Are Different: Is nothing like the savage monsters that are typical in D&D. His mom even touches on this, telling him that goblins tend to get mistreated due to their reputation.
  • It is even more pronounced when Riz learns his father was a spy that used the typical image of goblins to infiltrate enemy lines. It's also discussed by Pok in his last recorded message to Riz.
  Pok: "The world's a hard place for goblins. We're small. People look at us and see an image of a certain kind of creature. Something that is wicked and disposable. Threatening but also kind of a joke. It's the worst of all worlds. It's not really fair but you have a ton of work ahead of you that in a more just world you wouldn't have to do."
• Pragmatic Hero: One of the most concerned with saving and helping people of the party. He's also got one of the highest kill counts, and is the most brutal in dealing with his enemies, whether they can fight or not.
  • Deconstructed. His cold-blooded murder of Coach Daybreak, after he'd gone unconscious, was said by Brennan to be the biggest curveball that any player threw him during this campaign. Thus, all the leads that they could have gotten from him and used to stop Kalvaxus' plans before it was achieved were gone, which explains the time skip that happened right after that.
• Pre-Mortem One-Liner: He gets one in before delivering the final blow to Kalina and destroying her.
  Riz: Mission accomplished, Dad.
• Scars Are Forever: Played for Laughs. When Riz finds out Kristen failed her cleric class in Junior Year, it causes a vein to pop on his forehead that will stay there for the rest of his life.
• The Short Guy with Glasses: Doesn't wear glasses until Junior Year, but has the height and affinity for green due to being a goblin and uses his wiles to his advantage.
• The Smart Guy: Shares this role with Adaine, being a Street Smart Rogue private eye and the party member that does the most actual sleuthing and finds the biggest clues.
• Smart People Shoot: He's the only one in the party to specialized in ranged weapons— specifically a primitive form of firearm called an arquebus— and being an inquisitive rogue who styles himself after a private investigator, he's meant to invoke this. However, it's Zig-Zagged, between Murph's abysmal luck with rolls and Riz's often impulsive behavior hindering his attempts at investigation.
• The Sneaky Guy: Comes with being a rogue and a private eye.
• Spell My Name with a "The": His nickname is not "Ball," but rather "The Ball." Fabian insists on referring to him as "The Ball" even in sentences where that is not grammatically accurate, as in "What are you doing, The Ball?"
• The Team Normal: In Sophomore Year, due to both Fabian and Gorgug multiclassing into Spellcasting classes, Riz is the only member of the party with no innate magical abilities, other than the ones provided by magical items. No longer applies as of Junior Year, where he has switched to become an Arcane Trickster, doubling down on the magical items angle.
• Tranquil Fury: When threatening Biz with his gun he doesn't yell but he comes off as incredibly furious as he quickly counts down. He also doesn't raise his voice when Kalvaxus reveals he was his father's murderer, and later when he avenges the latter by killing the former, but his words drip with pure hatred.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Fabian, at least to begin with. Fabian continues to refer to him by the insulting nickname "The Ball", long after Ragh's Heel–Face Turn and the Bad Kids becoming Fire-Forged Friends.
• Workaholic: He's demonstrated many times throughout the series that he's unable to relax and stop working on his cases and making theories, which causes his mother lots of worries.
• You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: One of the few times Fabian refers to him as Riz and not "The Ball" is when Riz is being possessed by Baron and is made to fight his friends.
• You Killed My Father: Vows an even deeper desire to kill Kalvaxus after he learns that he was the one who killed his father.
  Riz: (venomously) It's gonna be so good when I shoot you with his fucking gun.

Fig Faeth

Figeuroth "Fig" Faeth

^{Click here to see Fig in Sophomore Year}

"[...]my name is Figueroth. My last name is Faeth, but that's the name of someone who does not have anything to do with me because he's not my dad, so I'm just Fig now. Just Fig."

Race: Tiefling (Archdevil) / Wood Elf

Class: Bard (College of Whispers formerly, College of Lore currently) / Warlock (The Hexblade) / Paladin

A wood elf girl who recently discovered she's a tiefling and thus is going through her rocker rebellion phase. With her base guitar and a massive chip on her shoulder, she starts the school year ready to lash out against the world.

---

• Alliterative Name: Figeuroth Faeth.
• Ambiguously Bi: Ultimately ends up in a relationship with Ayda, but has flirted with men before. However, she didn't seem to be into any of them and did so either with an ulterior motive or, more commonly, just for the sake of trolling them, so it remains up in the air if she actually has a thing for boys.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other:
  • In Season 1, she's initially shown to have disdain for Gilear, but quickly changes her tune once Gorthalax comes back into her life as her father and attempts to help Gilear straighten out his life like getting him a job at the academy. She also worries over his wellbeing, especially when Kalvaxus targets all of the Bad Kids' homes and families as she immediately leaves to make sure Gilear was okay. She's also super happy for him when he and Fabian's mother start seeing each other during the season finale.
  • Her relationship with her mother was rocky at the start, due to Fig being angry over her mother from hiding who her real father was even after Gorthalax came back into her life and explained why he wasn't around. Towards the end of the season, Fig is terrified of the thought that her mother could die after Kalvaxus sends his men after the Bad Kids' families. When Fig finds her knocked out at home, she quickly heals her, hugs her and tearfully admits she was scared of her dying and apologizes for not letting her mom be a flawed person.
• Bad Powers, Good People: Explored. One of her anxieties in Sophomore Year is the fact that between her fiendish heritage and most of her magic being geared towards psychological torment and deception, she fears this is because she is really, deep down, a terrible person. Nevertheless, she remains a heroic and caring person through and through.
• The Bard: A hardcore rocker version of one.
• Braids of Action: Her official illustration depicts her hair tied up in a braid and she's always eager to get into a fight or trouble. Also helps that she loves rebelling.
• Character Development: In season 1 she learns to accept that her mother is allowed to be a flawed individual as Kalvaxus sends soldiers to attack all of the Bad Kids' families. She cries after saving her mother and admits she was scared to think that she had actually died.
  • In Sophomore Year, her growing insecurities about her charismatic façade start to wear her down and have her start more unhealthy relationships. However, her relationship with Ayda helps her grow out of it, and when her greatest fears come to life in the Forest of the Nightmare King, she manages to overcome them.
• Chocolate Baby: Assumed to be an elf until her teen years where her tiefling features grew in, and it became obvious that her elf father wasn't her biological dad.
• Cool People Rebel Against Authority: After discovering she has a demonic father - prior to this, she was one of the popular crowd.
• Crazy Enough to Work: She's got very creative ways to solve her problems with her bardic abilities. This is best demonstrated when she pushes a racist dwarf to commit suicide by disguising as him and convincing him he was Dead All Along.
  Brennan: Listen, Emily is one of the best D&D players in the world, endlessly creative, so fun to play with. She was also sent from Hell to kill me.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Discussed. After recently becoming an Archdevil, she's reassured by Gorthalax that this doesn't make her evil, but that her good, rebellious nature was more accurate to the spirit of fallen angels than the rules-oriented, evil nature of the rest of the devils.
• Demon Lords and Archdevils: In season two, Fig becomes an Archdevil in order to prevent her father's realm from being taken over by another fiend.
• Disappeared Dad: A major reason for her current attitude. She's on the search for her real demon dad and practically asks any demon or tiefling if they could be her father.
• Deal with the Devil: A very strange version. Fig becomes a Warlock in season 2, but unlike most examples of this trope, her powers aren't coming from a malicious being, because her patron is Gorthalax, her own father.
• "Eureka!" Moment: Thanks to Emily's habit of taking notes, Fig is usually the one who reminds the others of clues they discovered earlier and gets the ball rolling on piecing everything together.
• The Face: Having the highest charisma of the party, they usually let her handle the deceptions or persuasions necessary for them to advance in the cases.
• Fatal Flaw: Her constant deceptions are a true burden on her and the cause of so many unhealthy relationships.
• Fille Fatale: Only 15 years old and already trying to flirt with much older men.
• Half-Breed Angst: Completely denounces identifying as an elf due to no longer passing as one, and later comments dejectedly about being considered "lesser" of a devil by Hell due to her half-heritage.
• Insecure Love Interest: She is surprisingly timid when she forms a genuine relationship with Ayda, saying she's the first person she's kissed whilst not wearing a disguise and pretending to be someone else.
  • During her time in the Forest of the Nightmare King she is confronted with her fear that Ayda and all her friends won't like the "real" her and only like the performance she puts on.
• The Jinx: Becomes this in Junior Year, seemingly have taken on Gilear's bad luck.
• Like Parent, Unlike Child: Sandra Lynn and Gorthalax both dealt with personal issues (previous heartbreak and self-loathing respectively) that pushed them to ruin the relationships they had or prevent relationships they wished they had. While Fig does have a similar problem, with her inability to handle intimity and honesty at the same time, she eventually grows beyond it.
• The Power of Rock: Most of her bardic spells come from her sweet bass guitar.
• Reality Warper: Her natural creativity and her heavy usage of illusions in fights makes her functionally this in the Forest of the Nightmare King, where illusions can come to life. With this, she's able to bypass the party's scarcity in diamonds for the Revivify spell with a cantrip, and she nearly killed Arianwen Abernant, a powerful wizard, with a 2nd level spell by making an illusion of her heart stopping
• Rebellious Spirit: Oh yeah. Discovering her demon heritage resulted in Fig rebelling in any way possible, much to her mom and the principal's chagrin.
• The Red Mage: As a Bard, she can use both offensive and support spells, but while her spellcasting ability is on par with Adaine and Kristen, she has much more restricted spell selection in either style of magic than them.
• Ridiculous Procrastinator: In Junior Year, she's doing everything in her power to put off writing her sophomore album by triple downing on classes.
• Rock Me, Asmodeus!: Her penchant for punk rock music and rebellion comes directly from her discovering her devilish ancestry. It's later revealed her magical powers come from the inherent rebellion and punk nature of the original fallen angels.
• Shipper on Deck: She gushes and gets excited when Gorgug asks Zelda, his "not girlfriend" on what's essentially a date. She also thinks Sklonda and Gorthalax make a cute pair and is almost squeeing when the two get together by the end of "Prompocalypse".
• Smoking Is Cool: Deliberately invokes this with her clove cigarettes.
• Toxic Friend Influence: Mainly to Kristen during season 1 where she actively encourages her to break rules and take drugs with her.
• Tsundere: An exaggerated version of one. A Running Gag involves Fig often telling the group that while she seems hard to read and puts up a tough cool girl persona, she tells them that she trusts them and considers them her closest friends. And then she immediately follows it up with a comical display of aloofness - one time by abruptly sprinting out of an ice cream shop and another by telling them all to shut up and kicking over a chair. Her closest friends eventually learn to see through it.
  Adaine: "I would say that on a macro-level there are probably people who kiss you without caring about you, but I don't think that Fig would do that (Beat) because Fig cares about everybody."
• Turn to Religion: Joins the cult of Cassandra to support Kristen after her god vanishes, but comes to genuinely embrace the tennant of Doubt as she struggles with her identy due to the MCAT. Her first prayer is earnest enough to partially restore Kristan's magic.
• Unexpected Virgin: When Fathrathriel gossips about her and Ayda's relationship and how Fig likely "got around" since she's a rockstart, she angrily unloads onto the elf that she's never had sex, on top of never having a "healthy relationship".
  Fig: Here's some fucking gossip for you! I'm a fucking virgin who's never had a healthy relationship!!
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Before her horns grew in, she was the typical cheerleader type. Has since traded her pom-poms for a leather jacket and bass guitar.

• Gentle Giant: He's super friendly and socially awkward for a big guy.

The motorcycle ridden by Johnny Spells and later Fabian.

---

• Back from the Dead: After the Hangman is destroyed by a possessed Fabian, Gorgug manages to fix and revive him after he takes a level in Artificer.
• Big Damn Heroes: Finds the Cubbys in "Family in Flames," enabling them to break the Bad Kids out of jail.
• Has a Type: Not for itself, but who it suggests Fabian should try to get together with clearly shows its fiendish origins, first suggesting Fig because she's a tiefling and later Adaine after she displays propensity with fire magic.
• Haunted Technology: It has the essence of some fiend (later revealed to be a Hellhound) bound into it, giving it sentience and allowing it to move on its own.
• Hellhound: What the Hangman's true form is revealed to be when put in front of a mirror that strips away illusions.
• Race-Name Basis: Despite being officially named 'The Hangman', Fabian often refers to him as simply 'Bike' or 'Motorcycle'.
• The Matchmaker: It's openly gives advice to Fabian about trying to woo certain girls, mostly in the vein of offering motorcycle rides.
• Shoo Out the Clowns: In Season 2, it's stabbed and apparently killed by a possessed Fabian towards the end of "Pirate Brawl" and the story becomes notably more serious, especially regarding Fabian.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Positively *hates* Gorgug's van the Hangvan after it becomes possessed by a celestial.

The Hangvan

The Hangvan

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

Race: Possessed Van (originally an angel)

Gorgug’s van that now contains a crystal containing an Angel, named Zaphriel.

---

• Haunted Technology: It’s an old beater van, perfect for a teenager’s first car- but eventually gets a crystal put in that is inhabited by an angel, who when we first meet him, has been the rock so long, he’d doesn’t remember his name. So he’s good with being called van or Hangvan.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Zaphriel, being an incredibly chill celestial, is easily this for the Hangman
• The Stoner: While he doesn’t actually use substances, he has a very chill stoner, hippie vibe in his thought process and his expression.
• Team Dad: Acts as an additional grown up to give advice to the team, especially to Gorgug.

Boggy

Boggy the Froggy

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

Race: Frog

Adaine's familiar and emotional support frog.

---

• Involuntary Shapeshifting: As a familiar, Boggy isn’t actually a frog so much as a spirit Adaine summoned in the form of a frog. She can choose different animal forms for him each time she casts Find Familiar, hence his brief stint as “Bog-owl-riel.”
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: Described as 'the platonic ideal of a frog' and universally regarded as adorable.

Baby

Baby née Wretchrot

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

^{Click here to see Baby during Dimension 20 LIVE}

"I'm called baby now!"

Race: Imp

A scorpion-tailed imp formed from Fig's blood who becomes her new valet once Fig ascends to the station of mistress of Gorthalax's demesne.

---

• Adorable Evil Minions: A heroic version of one, but is nonetheless a devil born to carry out the Mistress of the Bottomless Pit's dark bidding. He is adorable enough for the nickname "Baby" to stick, but everyone around him considers Wretchrot to be deeply unsettling.
• Appropriated Appellation: Fig and Riz derisively call him "Baby," but Wretchrot comes to enjoy the nickname and insists on being addressed as such.
• Ax-Crazy: Has yet to do anything violent, but is nonetheless an unhinged little bastard who for certain cannot be called sane.
• Bloodlust: It makes sense since Wretchrot is a creature made of blood, who feeds on Fig whenever he is hungry.
• Fertile Blood: Wretchrot was birthed when Fig sliced her hand open during her father's tribunal in the Nine Hells to provide proof that she was Gorthalax's daughter. The combination of Fig's half-fiend heritage and the surrounding hellish energy caused the resulting drop of blood to form into Wretchrot.
• Forcibly Formed Physique: Fig asks Wretchrot to dance for Kristen and ends up performing a... what can be best described as a dance where his limbs remain static in space while his torso wobbles around in a Fleischer cartoon-esque fashion. Nobody enjoys it.
• Horrifying the Horror: A benign version of the trope but even Fig, who at this point is known for her outlandish behavior and tastes in the macabre, finds Wretchrot to be a little much.

  Fig: (Points to Wretchrot) "It's kind of fucked up that this is half of me, right? This is bad."

  Riz: "I think it's more Hell and it being, like, a little blood monster than it is you."

  Fig: "Right. Okay." (Beat) "Message over."

• No Indoor Voice: Baby has two modes of talking: either sinister whispering or screeching at the top of his lungs.

  Fig: "Remember when you asked me, 'Should I whisper or scream'?"

  Baby: "Yes!"

  Fig: "For today: we scream."

  Baby: (Unleashes a feral, unhinged wail)

• Our Demons Are Different: A devil familiar made from a tiefling's blood.
• Too Kinky to Torture: Craves violent punishment and is gleeful about the prospect of being murdered. When he is later Bound and Gagged by Arianwen Abernant he specifically asks Fig not to free him because he is enjoying it

The Main Six's Families and Loved Ones

Bill Seacaster

Captain William "Bill" Seacaster

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

"I shall leap into hell and kill the Devil himself!"

Race: Human/Archdevil

Class: Pirate

Fabian's father and a renowned pirate.

---

• Abusive Parents: Zig-zagged. He's initially presented as a very loving father to Fabian, but as the first campaign progresses, he becomes increasingly disappointed in his son's failure to live up to his example as a bloodthirsty cutthroat, culminating in him physically assaulting Fabian after the party gets arrested for Johnny Spell's murder. However, after Fabian gives him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, he realizes that his son being different from him is a good thing, and he tells Fabian how proud he is of him before his death.
• Affably Evil: An unrepentant and emotionally unstable pirate who has admitted to murdering several people, most notably his father at the tender age of nine, but cares deeply for his family above all else.
• Amazon Chaser: The main reason he married his wife on the spot was because she was the one who managed to take out his eye.
• Ax-Crazy: A lot of his behavior veers dangerously close to this territory.
• A Pirate 400 Years Too Late: Brennan specifically narrates that Bill Seacaster dresses like your stereotypical pirate, and sticks out like a sore thumb in the suburban Americana setting of Elmville.
• Blood Knight: There's nothing he likes more than a good fight.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Certain things will make him unbelievably sentimental, and other things will make him explosively angry. Even his family can't seem to predict what will set him off in what way.
  • When learning about Fabian stealing something, Bill phrases it as having belonged to him all along, unbeknownst to its previous "owner."
    Bill: How'd you do it? How did you end the man? Whose things were yours all along, but he never knew?
  • Witnesses the group's lack of coordination and tactical planning and takes it upon himself to spend the next day drilling them on working together as a party. He also explicitly kidnapped them to do so, refusing to let them send any messages to their parents until they were done.
  • The bonus episode statting out Chungledown Bim says he's still Chungledown's warlock patron, despite Chungledown's quest to shit in his son's mouth, so Fabian can know what it feels like to have a nemesis and know true victory over him.
• Defeat Equals Explosion: After Fabian stabs him in the chest, Bill tells him to leave right now because his suit was rigged to explode.
• Died Standing Up: Subverted. As Seacaster Manor gets attacked, he cuffed himself to his bed in order to die standing up. When Fabian finds him, he smiles and asks to be let down. As they both give their final farewells, Fabian stabs his father in the heart and Bill dies via explosion from his jacket.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's remorseless and completely unstable but he loves his wife and especially his son Fabian furiously.
• Evil Parents Want Good Kids: He phrases it this way in episode 15.
  Bill: You're nothing like me, and that's the most wonderful thing I could imagine. I never had any choice but to be fearsome, because there was nothing in my heart worth admiring. I was a madman and a layabout, and I took from the world anything I could. You're different. I see the way your friends look at you. You don't command their fear, you command their respect. That's a feat I could never have pulled off, not at your age.
• Evil Versus Evil: Crossing over into Order Versus Chaos, he's currently waging a war against the Nine Hells, and he's an bloodthirsty greedy pirate.
• Friendly Pirate: He's killed and robbed countless people, thinks violence is always on the table, and has no remorse for any of it, but he's also a Doting Parent to his son Fabian, and is jovial and friendly to everyone he meets. When Fabian and the rest of the Bad Kids crash at his house after a particularly brutal battle, he has his staff fix them some snacks, joins them in a sea shanty, and then gives them some training so they won't be in such dire straits next time they see him. He also makes a point to be completely egalitarian.
• Good Parents: He's genuinely hurt when he realizes that Fabian has "massaged" the truth about his piracy, but is otherwise extremely proud and supportive of his son.
• A Hell of a Time: It's not designed that way, but he ends up having an incredibly great afterlife scouring the Nine Hells in order to conquer it.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Before he dies, Fabian stabs him in the heart which he's delighted by.
• In Love with Your Carnage: Dropped to one knee and proposed to Hillariel the second she cut his eye out of his head.
• Irish Accents: Has a very strong and harsh one.
• Large Ham: Very loud, boisterous and demonstrative in word and deed.
• Mood-Swinger: As a result of being Ax-Crazy, he can shift from thoughtful understanding to extreme bouts of fury in two sentences. Best demonstrated in Sophomore Year when he kills Gilear for having slept with his wife, then joyfully calls him his brother after he's revived.
• Order Versus Chaos: The reason why he fights the Devils of the Nine Hells rather than join them, as they're more focused on rules and tyranny, while Bill is, by his own admission, a being of pure chaos.
• Passing the Torch: As he dies, he gifts Fabian his eyepatch, seeing as Fabian would be needing it himself.
• Patricide: Played for Laughs. He stabbed his father in the heart in the first grade.
• Pet the Dog: Despite his psychotic tendencies, he responds surprisingly well to Fig calling out his lack of gender-inclusive speech, apologizing and amending his statement. Though, he does admittedly threaten to kill her afterwards, but that's due to her "speaking out of turn" rather than the nature of her comment.
• Really Gets Around: Mentions in his past to have bedded and slept with many people. He even goes along with Grogug wondering if he was his dad and admits that it could be likely, and that he had slept with hundreds of orcish women.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Bribes Coach Daybreak to get his son on the Owlbears.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Played for Laughs. He murdered his father in the first grade.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: How he and Hallariel are viewed as, with many even believing is the sole reason Bill married her. However he reveals to Fabian Hallariel is a master fencer and after cutting out his eye, he immediately got down on one knee to propose to her.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He became the palimpsest supplier for KVX Bank as a way to get back into illegal business which eventually led to men being sent to Seacaster Manor to kill them, resulting in Bill's own death.
• Virtue Is Weakness: Personally and explicitly says that law and social order only exists to "annoy and harass the powerful" and give the weak influence that they don't deserve; in his own words, "[...] there is only one law in the world; the law of the blade."

Hallariel Seacaster

Hallariel Seacaster (née Lomenelda)

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

^{Click here to see Hallariel during Freshman Year}

Race: High Elf

Fabian's mother.

---

• Birds of a Feather: As she gets more and more screentime, it becomes clear that she and Bill were made for one another. While she's more refined than him, she's also a powerful fencer, a very loving parent, prone to violence at the slightest opportunity, loves living in chaos, and knows very little about the common world.
• Calling the Old Man Out: On the receiving end from Fabian in "Family in Flames." It prompts her to finally go sober for the first time in fifteen years.
  Fabian: Mama, I'm sorry but you have to fucking pull yourself together. You have to be some kind of person, alright. You can't just be a thing that lies around my house.
• Do Wrong, Right: When Fabian threatens to "kick [Gilear's] fucking ass", she puts a dagger to his throat, asking him to threaten him respectfully.
  Hallariel: Gilear, if you make a mistake on my son's coffee order, physical violence will be visited upon you.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: In Dimension 20 Live, she pushes Fabian to train to the point of exhaustion, and then only allows him half a ration of kippers.
• Hidden Depths: She's mainly seen drinking wine and laying in her egg in Freshman Year. As Seacaster Manor is attacked, Fabian doesn't get to see what happens when she reaches for her sword as he quickly runs out to find his father. As Bill is dying, he tells Fabian his mother should be teaching him how to fight as she was a master fencer and the main reason he married her after she slashed his eye out.
• Lady Drunk: Is intoxicated for most of the first season. After she quits drinking, she is still nursing the hangover several months later due to how many years she was intoxicated.
• Master Swordswoman: One of the greatest fencers in the world.
• Put on a Bus: Leaves for a cruise in the second episode of Junior Year.
• Recovered Addict: After Bill Seacaster is killed and Fabian talks some sense into her, Hallariel decides to stop drinking and train Fabian in the art of fencing.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: She's incredibly rich thanks to her husband, and before that was the daughter of the ruler of Kei Lumennura, a luxuriant high-elven sanctuary. As such, she's never had to gain the skills of the common folk, and often embarrasses herself when she tries to cook.
• Stacy's Mom: Played for Laughs. The rest of the party remark that she's hot, much to Fabian's dismay.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Everyone is amazed that someone as beautiful as Hallariel married Bill. Later to Fabian's dismay, she becomes attracted to Gilear.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: A familial variant. She loves her son dearly, as does he, but she threatens to kill him often, mostly when he expresses a desire to kill her new boyfriend, Gilear, and once she tries to be more present in his life as a parent, is much harsher on him than Bill was.
  Fabian: Mama, I will kill this man.
  Hillariel: I'll kill you first, it's not up to you.
• Womanchild: Hillariel arrives at Kei Lummenura during Sophomore Year to bring back Cathilda to Seacaster Manor since she's run out of food and doesn't know how to cook for herself. Cathilda tells Fabian that teaching Hallariel how to be her own person is next on her agenda.

"Shut your squid mouth, you dirty pirate piece of shit."

Race: Halfling

Class: Fighter (Whirling Dervish)

The Seacaster family's housekeeper.

---

• Battle Ballgown: Her old outfit as Cathilda the Black is a black Victorian-style dress and tricorn hat.
• Battle Butler: Shown to be deadly with a pair of daggers late into season 1, defending Hallariel when Seacaster Manor is invaded by Harvestmen.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Is as sweet as they come, but again is shown to be lethal blade fighter, and turns cold and ruthless on a dime when Fabian's life is threatened as James Whitclaw found out.
• Everyone Has Standards: Initially, she seems endlessly patient with the Bad Kids and shrugs off their worst aspects as them being "cheeky," with Fabian and his constant refusal to accept the fact that she can be both a maid and a real person being the chief example. Despite this, near the end of the Leviathan arc in Season 2, she puts her foot down and chews out Fig for her baseless suspicion that Cathilda had poisoned food she intended to feed the group.
• Irish Accents: Has a soft, lilting one, contrasting Bill Seacaster's harsher accent.
• Living Legend: She is one of the most infamous pirates amongst the population of Leviathan, with her mere presence causing the bosun and her men to kneel and later unnerve even Captain Whitclaw.
• Mama Bear: When she learns the true events of what happened when Fabian fled from Captain James Whitclaw, she comforts Fabian by telling him that she considers him like a son to her and she vows to get revenge on Whitclaw for what he did to Fabian in a very uncharacteristically menacing and frankly creepy affirmation. When she does confront Whitclaw she successfully intimidates him by threatening to turn him into calamari.
• Mysterious Past: The most we know about her past is that she used to be a member of Bill's crew and one of its most deadly members.
• Outliving One's Offspring: Cathilda had several children who died before Fabian was born. When she became the Seacaster's maid, Fabian became a Replacement Goldfish for them.
• Parental Substitute: It's clear that Cathilda was a bigger motherly presence during Fabian's childhood than Hallariel was (who was present but drunk out of her gourd). Both Hallariel and Fabian admit as much during season 2.
• Red Baron: During her days on Leviathan she was known as feared pirate "Cathilda the Black".
• Retired Badass: Being a part of Bill's crew should speak volumes of her abilities, but she would rather take care of the Seacaster home and family nowadays.
• Team Mom: Takes on this role with Sandra Lynn during the Bad Kids' spring break adventure, providing emotional support and warm cookies.
• Tranquil Fury: Keeps her tone measured as she describes just how she was going to butcher Whitclaw, while keeping him alive through the whole experience, and then making him eat his own remains.

"I'd rather have you safe than crack the case. You understand?"

Race: Goblin

Riz's mother who works as a detective for the Elmville Police Department.

---

• Action Mom: Is a competent cop and one of the show's best parents.
• Almighty Mom: Won't let those with power get away with their crimes under her watch, and her outright disdain for people like Adaine's parents immediately earns the Bad Kids respect for her.
• By-the-Book Cop: She will use the proper legal channels to back any play the Bad Kids have so long as they can provide her with sufficient evidence first.
• Extreme Omnivore: Joins in with Riz on tearing apart and eating pieces of Kalvaxus while he's still alive.
  Sklonda: Kiddo. We're not gonna need to go shopping tonight.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: Easily the most competent, moral detective on the force, with no reward for it. In Junior Year, the Elmville PD screw her out of her pension, putting her and Riz in finanically dicey spots.
• Good Parents: While she works long hours as a cop and her family isn't financially in the best place, Sklonda cares deeply for Riz, tries to be as involved in his life as much as possible and prioritizes his safety and well-being above all else.
• Jabba Table Manners: She might be a good and upstanding member of society, but she still eats like a goblin.
• Just Friends: Grows closer to Gilear after he moves into Strongtower Luxury Apartments to the point Riz suspects they are "boning down". Gilear assures Riz that Sklonda is "too much woman" for him to handle and that she has enough self-respect to not view Gilear in a romantic light.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: In most of her appearances when she's dealing with other adults, she lets them know exactly what she thinks when they try to twist the law in their favor.
  Sklonda: Uh, Your Eminency, with all due respect, suck my dick, fuck you, if you have any problems, you can come downtown or I can ask your daughter if you make her feel unsafe.
• Loophole Abuse: She's very learned about law, and circumvents the Abernants' political immunity by letting Adaine know she can get her sister in prison by saying she feels threatened by her presence. When Adaine catches on and says so, she arrests Aelwyn without hesitation.
• Mama Bear: This trait shows up just as much for the other kids as much as it does for Riz. One notable example is after Aelwyn is arrested but Anguin tries to thwart it by invoking his diplomatic immunity. Sklonda then points out how diplomatic immunity can be revoked if a member of a diplomat's family feels unsafe in the presence of another member, pointedly allowing Adaine to use this loophole to make sure Aelwyn stays arrested.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She's probably the most well adjusted of the Bad Kid's parents, and has the power of her station as a detective behind her. That means that she won't let abuse of power stand, but also won't let her kid or his friends get away with anything.
• Smart Cop, Dumb Cop: She's the only police officer from Elmville who averts Police Are Useless, and proves to be quite smart in the scenes we see her in her detective capacity. After leaving the force, its heavily suggested there's no competent or moral cop left in the town.
• Ship Tease: Gorthalax is noticeably looking her way pretty often, especially in Prompocalypse. They end up getting together by the end, to Fig's delight.
• Struggling Single Mother: Sklonda lives in a run-down apartment and holds down a busy and demanding job which leaves her little time to spend with her beloved son whom she worries about the safety of constantly.

Race: Goblin

Riz's deceased father who was a spy for the Solasian government.

---

• Dead Man Writing: Left a final message for Riz before going on a dangerous mission that would prove fatal encouraging him to never give up.
• Disappeared Dad: Was eaten by Kalvaxus.
• Loophole Abuse: The victim of one. The reason Kalvaxus was able to kill him is that when he became a secret agent, he renounced to his Solace nationality.
• The Mole: He worked as a foreign agent for the Solisian government, using his identity as a goblin to infiltrate enemy lines and spy on them from the inside.
  • He becomes one for Heaven after his death to keep Hell and the Abyss fighting and keep the Upper Planes safe.
• Posthumous Character: Died five years before the start of the series.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Implied to have had some with Kalina the Shadow Cat, but Pok always remained true to his wife.

• The Fundamentalist: Extremely devout followers of Helio.
• I Have No Son!: Disown Kristen and kick her out of the house when she brings a book about religions from around the world into their house.
• It Is Beyond Saving: As members of the Harvestman Cult they believe that the world is so full of sin that the apocalypse is better than more souls being born into damnation.
• Knight Templar: Both are paladins of Helio and have strong reservations about anything and everyone that doesn't follow the word of the Corn God absolutely.
• Punny Name: Their names, when said together, sound like McDonalds Applebees.

Bucky Applebees

Bucky Applebees

Race: Human

Class: Paladin

Kristen's younger brother, who's still living with Mac and Donna.

---

• No Social Skills: He's a good kid but due at least in part to his religious upbringing, he's incredibly awkward in conversation with basically anyone that isn't Kristen. See both him telling his classmates they're going to Hell and his greeting when first meeting Adaine
  Bucky: Hello. I do not accept the ways of sin.
• The Fundamentalist: A lot of his extremely conservative beliefs about the world come from his upbringing with the Applebees. He's not nearly as aggressive or violent about it as his parents, but he still screams and runs away when Kristen starts swearing in front of him.
• The Teetotaler: As a result of his devotion to Helio. He does wonder what beer would taste like, but also thinks he'll go to hell for it.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Bucky seems to have good intentions, but he does still tell his classmates they're going to hell for not being devotees of Helio.

"You always gotta be kind, you always gotta try your best and there is no sense in being a fuckin' pushover!"

Race: Gnomes

Class: Artificers

Gorgug's adoptive parents and a pair of tinkerers.

---

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: When the rest of the group meets them, they immediately want to have a jam session with Fig and Gorgug, and follow that up by showing off his baby pictures. They also tend to ramble on when talking to Gorgug about anything, such as them asking if he made it to any bases with Zelda on their "date".
  • Inverted from the rest of the Bad Kid's perspective. While they're all aware the Thistlesprings are a little dorky, the kids admire their kindness and find their contraptions awesome.
• Beware the Nice Ones: When Kalvaxus sends his forces to burn down the Thistlespring tree and kill Digby and Wilma, Gorgug returns to find the front lawn piled with dead bodies and his parents inside the flaming tree each of them wielding deadly weapons (Digby with a BFG and Wilma with a circle of robotic drones). They then climb into a tank to fight off Kalvaxus's approaching army, but not before telling Gorgug that while they are sweet people and try to be nice to everyone, that doesn't mean they are "fucking pushovers."
  Digby: We might be small, and we're real nice. We try to be kind to everybody. But if you come to the tree, you better be ready to never fuckin' leave.
• Comically Missing the Point: Are very supportive and willing to give Gorgug advice when he asks. However, they tend to ramble on and on once they get going, even going on length about safe sex and the dangers of STD's. Gorgug has to call their attention back twice before he just decides to leave the conversation.
• Doting Parent: Thoroughly supportive of Gorgug and love him with both of their hearts. After he dies and is brought back in episode 2, they're distraught at the fact that they can't help him cope with it.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Their home tree doubles as a tinkering workshop, and Digby and Wilma are often hired to build technological devices for Elmville. Gorgug even finds out the lawnmower they use can also turn into a tank.
• Happily Married: Compared to some of the other parents in the story, they are this.
• Motor Mouth: Once they get talking, they never really stop and can go on for a while. Gorgug will literally just walk away from the conversation if he notices they're not listening to him or stopping.
• Papa Wolf/Mama Bear: They've cast out all their family members when they pushed them not to adopt Gorgug.
• Parents as People: Whilst they both adore and dote on Gorgug, he has had experiences they can't relate to and there are things about him they can't understand which makes them very upset because all they want to do is reassure and support him.
• Rock–Paper–Scissors: As their home is being attacked by Kalvaxus' people they eagerly get up to fight, but not before they both play rock paper scissors over who gets to drive the tank and who takes the gunner seat. Digby sighs in defeat as he takes the wheel and Wilma takes the gunner.

^{Click here to see Arianwen in Sophomore Year}

Race: High Elves

Class: Wizards (Schools of Enchantment and Conjuration)

Adaine and Aelwyn's parents, a diplomat and Hudol professor respectively.

---

• Abusive Parents: Of the emotional variety towards Adaine, and less overtly towards Aelwyn.
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Arianwen desperately beg her daugthers to take her with them after Cassandra had stripped her off her magic and a horde of ravenous hand-vans closes in on her at the climax of Sophmore Year. Needless to say, Adaine and Aelwyn pointedly refuses to save her after all she had done to them.
• Alliterative Name: Angwyn Abernant and Arianwen Abernant.
• And I Must Scream: Arianwen is stripped of her magic and is left to wonder in the Nightmare King's forest after the final battle.
• Asshole Victim: The only person that seems to at least dislike that Angwyn is dead is Arianwen.
• Dramatic Irony: Angwyn belittles Adaine for her use of physical violence in her first fight. After a hefty Strength increase, she kills him in one shot using Adaine's Furious Fists, a melee spell attack.
• Fate Worse than Death: Assuming that the vans with hands didn't get to her first, Arianwen is still stuck in the forest of the Nightmare King with no ability to use magic and being a high elf, it could literally be an eternity of wandering for her.
• Hate Sink: They move into this hard by season 2. Not only has their behavior towards Adaine hasn't changed, but they're outright working for the Big Bad of the season, the Nightmare King, to regain their station. Not only that, but their abuse of Aelwyn has increased tenfold.
• It's All About Me: Not only are their family's dynamics revolving around their wants alone, but they cause a war between Fallinel and Solace and work for the Nightmare King themself to return to their old station.
• Jerkass: All around terrible people, not only toward their daughter but also other people like Sklonda and Gilear, who look down on others who aren't high elves or academics/people of high status.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: One would assume that causing a full-on war between two nations, then trying to retrieve the crown of an Eldritch Abomination for a callous government would be proof of their love for Aelwyn at least, but they've stated themselves that it was to restore their social position. In fact, Angwyn justifies the fate of Aelwyn by saying they aren't doing anything to her physically and directly.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: They're both evil bastards, but at the very least, Arianwen has some sense of love for her daughters, and of remorse when Adaine calls them out for their treatment of her. Angwyn doesn't.
  • Accentuated in Sophomore Year. Arianwen tries to get Adaine to come back to her family, and seems not to understand why she hates her parents so much, while Angwyn impatiently waits for his wife to finish so he can take Adaine's mind and reforge it in a daughter he would like to see.
• Offing the Offspring: When Aelwyn protects Adaine from being remolded in his image of her, Angwyn shoots a high-level lightning and almost kills her.
• Pet the Dog: On Angwyn's part, at least; he's the one to give Adaine her arcane focus, which is an essential tool for a wizard. While he admits that it's basically an unwanted gift from an associate of his that he's trying to get rid of, it's still unusually generous, and even supportive, of him.
  • During their final falling out, Adaine's mother quietly concedes that they may have earned some of her scorn and apologizes for their mistreatment of her, even shedding a single tear afterwards. Although ultimately, as sophomore year reveals, she doesn't feel enough remorse to stop mistreating her or fully respect why Adaine hates her for it, nor is it enough to make her a substantially better person than her husband in the end.
• Skewed Priorities: Are more angry about the fact that Adaine got detention and used a melee weapon instead of a spell to kill someone, rather than the fact that she killed someone at all.
• Smug Snake: Angwyn is very proud of his spellcasting ability, and looks down on the wizards more geared towards adventuring, but Adaine proves to be his superior by doing over twice the amount of damage he can take before going down, killing him instantly. Arianwen, however, is slightly more respectful of practical spellcasting, and proves to be a much more formidable opponent when she faces the Bad Kids along with the Council of Elders.
• Spell My Name With An S: Due to the ridiculousness of elf names, popular spellings include Angwyn, Anguin, Angwen, Arianwyn, and Arianwen.
• Squishy Wizard: Angwyn can cast very powerful magic, but Adaine’s One-Hit Kill on him shows that his hit point total is less than 40. Justified in that he disdains “practical casting” or learning any sort of adventuring skills.

Race: High Elf

Class: Wizard (School of Abjuration)

Adaine's sister and a student at Hudol Academy.

---

• Alliterative Name: Aelwyn Abernant.
• Badass Teacher: As of Junior Year, she's an incredibly competent and powerful wizard... who decides to be a middle-school teacher.
• Barrier Warrior: She specializes in the School of Abjuration which usually deal in protective spells like magic shields. This would intially seem ironic considering her nature, but Adaine states Aelwyn's, rather selfish, sense of self-preservation actually make her a great fit for Abjuration magic.
• Big Sister Bully: Loves to flaunt how much better she is in front of her little sister and tell her how much of a failure she is. She eventually grows out of this by the end of Season 2 after she and Adaine patch up their relationship and become better sisters to one another.
• Big Sister Instinct:
  • Gradually develops this, first shown when she covers for Adaine in Fallinel and, after being rescued, instinctively begins to spread her Arcane Ward (one of the innate abilities of all Abjurative wizards) over Adaine as they sleep, while stil being one point of exhaustion from death. In the final battle with Angwyn, when he tries to modify Adaine's mind and find out where her friends are, she instinctively puts herself between her father and sister, weakly pleading Angwyn not to go through with it because "[Adaine] is just... she's a baby".
  • When The Great Unicorn impales Adaine and kills her on the spot, Aelwyn immediately banishes it from existance before collapsing over her sister's body to protect her, sobbing as she does so.
  • In Junior Year, upon moving out of Adaine's room in Morded Manor, she puts up a specific type of ward called a nemesis ward that will keep Adaine safe, unless Aelwyn is defeated first. Later, she helps Adaine land a job at Oodles of Strudels.
• Bookends: On Adaine's first day of school she attempts to cast Tasha's hideous laughter on her, which she easily deflects. During "Sisterly Showdown", Aelwyn ends up defeated by that same spell and ends up in a fit of laughter and tears.
• Break the Haughty: Season 2 shows that she's apparently been tortured via sleep deprivation by the government of Fallinel until she's no longer able to form long-term memories.
• Broken Ace: She's beautiful, popular, a powerful spellcaster, the darling of her mother and father's affection at the expense of her younger sister Adaine, and attending a prestigious academy. She's also a Functional Addict and Hard-Drinking Party Girl who helps capture the 7 Maidens in palimpsests, manipulates Adaine into removing the book that keeps Kalvaxus in check, and attempts to murder the whole party including her sister.
  • Season 2 gives us a glimpse into her mind, revealing she also harbors immense amounts of self-hatred due to witnessing her parents abuse Adaine as well as a desperate fear not to end up in the same position, which is why she never spoke out or stood up for her.
• Cain and Abel: What her and Adaine's relationship develops into when it's revealed Aelwyn is part of the palimpsest conspiracy and she tries to kill Adaine and her friends.
• Crazy Cat Lady: By Junior Year, she's living in an apartment with ten cats she deeply loves and cares for. She got each of them by going to shelters and asking to take home whichever cat had been stuck there the longest that nobody else wanted. Her place apparently stinks of unwashed laundry and cat urine. Her self-imposed isolation in contrast to her Freshman Year popularity is strongly implied to be a result of fallout from what she went through during Sophmore Year.
  Aelwyn: "I have so much love to give exclusively to cats."
• Crazy-Prepared: She had created a hidden backup of her mind just prior to being liberated by the Fallinel government. This proves to be a wise move as she was almost immediately imprisoned in a mental torture bubble and only by finding the backup when Adaine delved into her damaged mind could Aelwyn be fully healed.
• Cry Laughing: Is reduced to this after being sufficiently humiliated via failing a save against Adaine's casting of Tasha's Hideous Laughter, a 1st-level spell cast by a wizard who was technically less powerful than her.
• Deal with the Devil: Implied to have made one with Goldhorde/Kalvaxus prior to the start of Adaine's freshman year. Presumably, in exchange for more opportunities and resources to indulge in her hedonistic lifestyle, Aelwyn needed to assassinate the old Elven Oracle thus installing her sister, Adaine, as the new Oracle without her knowledge. Aelwyn than tricked Adaine into removing Watches-&-Wards from the library in order to forward Kalavus' plans.
• Easy Amnesia: Seems to be on her way to reconciling with Adaine in Season 2 before her old personality is restored by a memory spell.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: Sports these in her Season 2 character art as a result of being locked in an anti-trance bubble for 5 months and accumulating dangerous levels of exhaustion.
• Fate Worse than Death: Played for laughs. After the Bad Kids defeat her, she tells them if they were going to kill her, they should just kill her and get it over with. Adaine says they won't kill her, they'll just send her to Mumple, "Which is much worse." Aelwyn immediately starts panicking once Adaine pulls out a Mumple jacket in her size and she gives in and tells the kids what she knows.
  • Actually suffers one as Season 2 revealed. After being liberated from jail by the Fallinel government, she is then imprisoned within a anti-trance bubble for about 5 months which eventually reduced her to a husk of her former self and resulting in her becoming incapable of forming long term memory until Adaine found and freed her.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Revealed to be this in "Cool Kids, Cold Case" when she arrives at the Hudol house party. She is often paid by the Hudol boys to come to their parties, conjure a legion of elemental cheerleaders to drink and have a good time with them. The first thing she does when she arrives at Ostentatias's house is smash a bottle over the party host's head, uses a spell to telekinetically drink a shot and make out with Fabian before snorting a line of dragon spice up his chest.
• Heel–Face Turn: Adaine does eventually succeed in getting Aelwyn to turn on their parents and be a better sister to her and vice versa.
• Hidden Depths: It is discovered during season 1 that despite their uptight and posh exterior Aelwyn is well known a hard core party girl at her school. To the extent that people pay her to attend their parties.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: She seemed to have done most of the actual masterminding behind Kalvaxus' return, as she's the one to have arranged for the "Watches and Wards" to be taken out of the library by killing the Elven Oracle and tricking Adaine into stealing it, and was behind the "Detect Maiden" spell, providing the conspirators with a means to choose targets and potentially inducting Biz.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Adaine defeats Aelwyn by incapacitating her with Tasha's Hideous Laughter, the very spell that Aelwyn reflected back on Adaine in the first episode.
• Love Redeems: The impetus for Aelwyn turning face is Adaine's forgiveness and offer of a second chance at being sisters.
• Madness Mantra: "There's a vault on the first floor." Referring to the vault where her and Adaine's spellbooks are stored.
• Parental Favoritism: Angwyn and Arianwyn constantly hold Aelwyn in a higher regard than Adaine, lording her accomplishments over Adaine's head.
• Sanity Slippage: When Adaine finds her in Season 2, she's completely mentally broken from nearly a year of sleep deprivation and can't remember anything for more than a few minutes at a time. It takes Adaine casting Detect Thoughts and traveling through her sister's mind to restore her to her former self, at the cost of their bonding moments after being rescued.
• Self-Imposed Exile: By the time of Junior Year, while she has Took a Level in Kindness, but she also doesn't want to make a mean comment to people out of habit. As such, she has basically ended any kind of social life she had beyond spending time with Adaine, preferring to be with her cats and devoting her time to caring for them.
• Sibling Rivalry: Has been in one with Adaine her whole life. Their first interaction together shows them trying to one-up each other by slinging spells at the family breakfast table.
• Spell My Name With An S: Fans are torn on whether her name is spelled "Aelwyn" or "Aelwen".
• Tragic Villain: From the beginning of the series, and even before that, her villainy originated from her powerful self-loathing, and even stronger fear of her parents.
  • In Sophomore Year, her parents' abuse becomes physical, and she's outright Forced into Evil by them and Kalina.

Sandra Lynn Faeth

Sandra Lynn Faeth

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

^{Click here to see Sandra Lynn during Freshman Year}

Race: Wood Elf

Class: Ranger

Fig's mother with a mysterious past who works as a Ranger.

---

• Action Mom: Singlehandedly defended herself against Kalvaxus' forces, and proves to be a great fighter again during her stint as the Bad Kids' hireling.
• Almighty Mom: Kristen and Tracker see her as this in Sophomore Year.
  Tracker: I've been a wild child for the past five years, and I, like, don't put my elbows on the table when Sandra Lynn's eating with us.
• Aerith and Bob: Even in a setting resembling 1950s America, the fact that she's an elf with a mundane name like Sandra Lynn despite living in a world with other elves who have names like Gilear, Hallariel and Elianwyn stands out.
• Amicable Exes: With Gorthalax after he returns. She admits that she doesn't want to get back together and seems slightly disappointed that he and Jawbone get along really well with one another. Subverted with Gilear where she seems to start dreading the trip once Fig brings up that they're bringing Gilear along.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: After she divorces Gilear in season 2 she seems slightly uncomfortable with the idea of him joining her and the Bad Kids on the trip. However after Gilear is killed and nearly kidnapped by a bunch of henchmen, she notices and yells, "My ex-husband!" as she chases after them to save him.
  Fig: I knew you still loved him!!
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Is possessed by the Nightmare's King's forces and fights the Bad Kids along them.
• Easily Forgiven: Jawbone forgives her for cheating on him with Garthy O'Brian pretty quickly. Justfied because Jawbone never particularly cared about monogamy and had even suggested earlier that he and Sandra Lynn have an open relationship.
• Freudian Excuse: Discussed. Her vague history with her old adventuring party is indicated by Gilear to have probably played a role in shaping her poor decisions in the present, but he takes care to emphasize that Sandra Lynn’s issues aren’t so easy to categorize.
  Gilear: Maybe she has done wrong by people and maybe she has been wronged by others, and one doesn’t excuse the other. But there is a fuller picture to understanding your mother.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: She doesn't hold back her language in front of the Bad Kids and even her own daughter.
• Mysterious Past: Sandra Lynn is very secretive about her past, mainly because she doesn't want the people who are meant to respect her to judge her for her choices.
• "Not So Different" Remark: Fig is forced to confront the fact that she's eerily similar to her mother in youth when given a photo album with pictures of her mom as a teenager.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: While the battle against Kalvaxis is going down, she’s busy freeing the Seven Maidens - as far as we know, singlehandedly.
• Parents as People: She tries her best to raise Fig but is prone to her own missteps. Part of Fig’s arc in Freshman Year is coming to recognize that, in her words Sandra Lynn is “allowed to be a complex person.”
• Really Gets Around: Has had more romantic and sexual partners than any other character on the show, including Gilear, Gorthalax, Jawbone, Garthy and she also admitted to hooking up with a former party member who was married at the time, though we don’t get the full story on that because Fig only hears part of the story from Gilear who only shares enough to help her understand and repair her relationship with her mother.

"I have no pride!"

Race: Wood Elf

Class: Lunch Lad

Fig's adoptive father, who she believed to be her biological parent until she was revealed to be a tiefling. Just a real sadsack of a guy.

---

• Badass Boast: "I HAVE NO PRIDE!" It Makes Sense in Context.
• Big Damn Heroes: Towards the end of Sophomore Year, Fig and Riz are tied up in the Nightmare Forest and surrounded by an army of demons. Suddenly Gilear bursts out of Riz's Briefcase of Holding, wearing the Armor of Pride: a cursed set of armor that bestows great power to the wearer, at the cost of amplifying their pride to the point where it will drive them instantly insane. Gilear, however, delivers his Badass Boast about not having any pride, and becomes a One-Man Army, carving through dozens of demons to save his daughter.
• Bigger Is Better in Bed: One of the few things that Gilear does have going for him is that he is apparently very well-endowed.
• Big Eater: A lot of jokes about him surround the truly disturbing amount and types of food he eats.
• Butt-Monkey: Nothing really ever seems to go right for Gilear. Physically speaking, Gilear is the only elf seen on the show depicted with a comb-over and a notable paunch. Then after divorcing Sandralynn, he starts the show as an unemployed deadbeat who lives in a crappy apartment on the bad side of town and eats expired yogurt. Even when he does get a job at Aguefort, despite having the qualifications to be the new guidance counselor is beaten out by Jawbone - a drug-dealing werewolf with no prior experience counseling children - and instead is stuck as the new cafeteria worker (officially dubbed with the title of "Lunch Lad").
  • In the second season, he tags along with the Bad Kids' spring break assignment as an intern (after being fired from his position as vice principal in order to take on said intern job). However, being (in the words of Brennan himself) "just a guy", he's continually mowed down in combat on account of having less than 15 hit points and dies on more than one occasion. This supplicated with the Bad Kids' constant proclaiming that he's The Chosen One and he'll play a role of great significance someday.
• The Eeyore: He's almost perpetually depressed, mostly speaks in resigned complaints about his life, and much of his humor comes from generally being the world's biggest sad sack.
• Good Parents: Basically the only thing he has to be proud of. He is a very kind and loving father to Fig.
• Handy Shortcoming: Uses his complete lack of self-pride to his advantage in donning the Armor of Pride, which would kill him instantly if he had any pride in his body.
• Heroic Sacrifice: When the Bad Kids conclude that Gilear shouldn't accompany them into the Forest of the Nightmare King because "he has died maybe nine times" already, Gilear proceeds to hide inside Riz's briefcase and dons the Armor of Pride. He then saves Riz and Fig by jumping out and using the strength the armor imbues it's wearing with to destroy an army of demons. Initially he was able to withstand it very well due to his complete lack of pride and having caught the tip of his penis in the fastening, but as soon as he started to kick ass he felt pride, and the armor killed him immediately.
• Kavorka Man: Despite having nothing to recommend him, he managed to secure the affections of two attractive elven women.
• Lovable Coward: Useless in any high-stress situation and typically his first instinct is to hide until the threat goes away, but is still a beloved character both In-Universe and out.
• Master of None: Despite his general uselessness in the face of danger, he actually has average stats, save for Charisma, and outclasses nearly all of the Bad Kids on at least one stat (Adaine and Riz on Strength, Kristen on Dexterity, Gorgug on Intelligence, and Fabian on Wisdom).
• Not So Stoic: Gilear's reaction to Riz asking him if he has been having sex with his mother is a very shocked "What the fuck?!"
• Put on a Bus: Leaves for a cruise in the second episode of Junior Year.
• Speak Ill of the Dead: When asked about the death of the Elven Oracle, Gilear cracks a joke about how she should have seen it coming, which wins him some points with Adaine. When Fig speaks up and says they should be more respectful of the deceased, Gilear uncharacteristically brushes her off and tells Fig to "pack it in."
• They Killed Kenny Again: Gilear gets killed multiple times over the course of season 2 due to, again in Brennan's words, being "just a guy" (meaning he's an NPC with truly average stats and only 5 hit points). The first time he gets punched to death by a barlgura, then after being revivified, gets killed again by Fabian trying to do a flip off his face at the Hotel Cavalier, gets killed twice while in the Nine Hells, and once more in the Nightmare King's forest while wearing the Armour of Pride.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: At the end of the campaign, after being jerked around in every way possible he becomes Aguefort's new vice principal.
  • At the end of the campaign of Sophomore Year, he moves out of Hillariel Seacaster's garage and into the master bedroom with her.
  • The second episode of Junior Year sees Gilear win a cruise from a scratch-off card, then randomly gets awarded a 10% off credit on his Uber to the airport. He even lampshades how nice it is to have things go right for him!
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: While not explicitly beautiful, Sandra Lynn is certainly the more attractive of the two. In the epilogue, he begins dating Hillariel Seacaster, to Fabian's emphatic objection.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: He ends Freshman Year by becoming the vice principal of Aguefort Academy. But starts Sophomore Year by being fired in order to become the Bad Kids' intern. Thankfully, he gets his position back by the time "The Seven" starts.

Gorthalax the Insatiable

Gorthalax the Insatiable

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

^{Click here to see Gorthalax during Freshman Year}

Race: Pit Fiend

Class: Bard

A pit fiend trapped beneath the Durinson Mithral Factory by Arthur Aguefort. Revealed to be Fig's long-lost father.

---

• Affably Evil: And even calling him evil is exaggerating. After being released from the jewel imprisoning him, does he go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge? No, he takes the kids out for ice cream. Even outside of that, Gorthalax is consistently shown to be a friendly and open-minded individual.
  • Perfect example- During the final battle against the Nightmare King in Sophomore Year, he tells the King he answers to neither Gods nor angels in what is decidedly a Bad Ass Boast before attacking the King. He then turns to Fig and says, in a tone far more like a suburban dad doing a trick iPod a skateboard, “Not bad for your old Dad, huh?”
• Anti-Villain: The dude is literally a devil, but he's not really all that mean. He states that he did kill a lot of people and he has consumed untold souls, but he's nothing but friendly to the Bad Kids and comes off as a sincerely nice person. See also Punch-Clock Villain below.
• Badass in Distress: He's a powerful Pit Fiend but spends the majority of Sophomore Year trapped inside a gem that will destroy him if attempts are made to free him.
• Contrasting Replacement Character: As the Bloodrush Coach for Aguefort Adventuring Academy he couldn't be further from Coach Daybreak who was a religious zealot who manipulated his players for his own agenda while Gorthalax is a literal devil and genuinely has the team's best interests at heart.
• Demon Lords and Archdevils: A high-ranking fiend of the Nine Hells.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Dotes on Fig. The main reason he made no attempt to contact her while imprisoned was because that he thought she'd be better off without him.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Being "Gortholax the Insatiable", he physically can't eat and therefore is never sated. He's also the fief of the Bottomless Pit.
• Fallen Angel: He was an angel of Sol (Gortheo, the Seraph of eating the right amount of food), but fell during the reign and fall of Kalvaxus.
• Good Parents: Despite his absence in Fig's life and his demonic nature, Gorthalax consistently demonstrates himself to be a good-natured and reasonable authority figure that Fig and the others can rely on. He doesn't even hold any hard feelings towards Gilear and Sandra, even telling Fig that she doesn't give either of them as much credit as she should.
• The Magnificent: Gorthalax The Insatiable.
• Necessarily Evil: What he sees his job as. So many people that would be evil under any other circumstances have living conditions that prevent them to show their true nature and "essentially back-door their way into Heaven". He makes sure that they have the opportunity to perform evil, causing harm to many innocent people, but insuring that cosmic justice is delivered.
• Papa Wolf: When it's made clear that Kalvaxus is trying to hurt the Bad Kids, Gorthalax, who in the conversation just before implied he and the offending Emperor of the Red Waste went back aways, turns on him instantly. When Fig gets knocked out during the battle, he immediately moves to her side to try reviving her despite not being skilled in doing so.
• Punch-Clock Villain: Blatantly states that he sees being evil as just a job.
• Rock Me, Asmodeus!: As a pit fiend who is also a bard, and a big fan of rock music.
• Tranquil Fury: As per Papa Wolf above, when Gorthalax realizes that Kalvaxus is trying to kill the Bad Kids, he gets sufficiently pissed... although you wouldn't know it from his volume.
  Gorthalax: You made a promise to care for children. You know where bad dudes go...
• Troll: His pact with Johnny Spells was deliberately humiliating mostly because he found it funny and thought his warlock "fucking sucks."
• Your Soul Is Mine!: He plainly states that he's only fueled by the souls of the wicked, despite what his followers think when they sacrifice innocent souls to him.

"Having panic attacks, that is not a character flaw, you understand? You are not a coward, you have a goddamn medical condition, alright?"

Race: Werewolf

Class: Barbarian

A crusty werewolf the gang meets during a fight at a nightclub, who later gets hired as Auguefort Academy's new guidance counselor to replace Mr. Gibbons. Despite having no qualifications, no prior experience, and a long history of criminal behavior, he somehow manages to be extremely good at this job.

---

• Ascended Extra: Originally just a generic enemy at a nightclub who attacked Adaine when the whole club went into a frenzy. He evolved into a major character for the second half of the show.
• Cool Uncle: He takes great care of Tracker, his niece.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: The treatment of lycanthropy as a stigmatized disease is an obvious reference to Harry Potter's Broken Aesop of lycanthropy as a metaphor for HIV-AIDS.
• Nice Guy: Contrary to his history of drug-dealing and attacking Adaine at the Black Pit and nearly turning her into a werewolf, Jawbone is otherwise a chill, relaxed guy.
• Noodle Incident:
  • He uses the time he was drunk and had to suck off a border guard with warts all over his cock to smuggle drugs to his friend as an example to Adaine of a disease that doesn't define its bearer.
  • Explains the reason he has anxiety medication to give Adaine is because he was going to sell them to a guy who once stabbed him during an orgy.
• Parental Substitute: Ends up more or less adopting half of the group, plus some others:
  • Kristen moves in with Tracker (and thus him) when her relationship falls apart with her parents.
  • Adaine ends up staying with them after her family flees the country, and he gives her some good advice on her panic attacks while calming her down during "Prompocalypse". He later adopts her and becomes her legal guardian.
  • Fig spends a lot of time at his place once he and Sandra Lynn start seeing each other and moving in together.
  • Adaine extends an offer to Zayn to haunt a room in their new house.
  • Even Ragh accepts an offer to live with them so he can have some space of his own.
• Really Gets Around: Has mentioned his very extensive sex history more than once, and has had sex with Sandra Lynn and Garthy.
• Polyamory: Outright says he's poly to Fig when she tells him that she didn't want for their trip to look like she was parent-trapping Gilear and Sandra Lynn.
• Psychologist Teacher: Quickly proves himself to be a competent guidance counselor that both the students and faculty admire despite having next-to-no professional qualifications.
• Wonderful Werewolf: While he looks somewhat fearsome due to staying in half-wolf form most of the time as a protest against society's stigmatization of werewolves, Jawbone is one of the nicest and most supportive characters in the series.

Race: Werewolf

Class: Cleric (Twilight Domain)

A werewolf girl Kristen meets at the Black Pit and starts dating soon after. Jawbone's niece. Joins the Bad Kids on their quest for the Nightmare King's crown.

---

• Brains and Brawn: She forms this with Ragh, her adventuring buddy, being the Brains (learned, powerful magical caster) to Ragh's Brawn.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Is possessed by the Nightmare's King's forces and fights the Bad Kids along them.
• Casual Kink: If Kristen is anything to go by, it can be assumed that Tracker engages in regular hardcore bondage with her girlfriend.
• Closet Key: Her encounter with Kristen at the Black Pit is what leads the latter to realize she's gay.
• Crisis of Faith: She's mortified when she learns of the violent crusade by the elves of Fallinel in the name of her goddess, Galicaea, that led to the Unnamed Goddess' demise and the chastising of many "monster races", and cannot believe that she allowed this to happen. It's resolved when Kristen comes back with insight on how deities are shaped by their followers' behaviors, and she decides to go to Fallinel to spread a better interpretation of her goddess' preaching.
• Cute Monster Girl: An adorable werewolf girl who certainly attracts Kristen's attention.
• Love Interest: For Kristen.
• Nephewism: She lives with Jawbone, her uncle, and treats him like a father.
• Nice Girl: Nothing but sweet and mellow towards Kristen and the other characters.

Ayda Aguefort

Ayda Aguefort

Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan

"Well whatever the case I, in my heart, feel deep down that, I too, am a 'low quality child.'"

Race: Half-Phoenix

Class: Wizard (School of Divination)

The half-phoenix daughter of Arthur Aguefort. She meets the Bad Kids during their stay in Leviathan and hits it off with Adaine. Adaine's kidnapping and her budding feelings for Fig motivate her to join them on their quest for the Nightmare King's crown.

---

• Accents Aren't Hereditary: Even though her biological father has a proper British accent and her parent Garthy has a Cockney accent, she has a slight British accent in the beginning that is later dropped for an American one.
• Alliterative Name: Ayda Aguefort to match her father's alliterative name.
• Be Yourself: She initially modifies her behaviour as much as possible in order to make others like her, but with encouragement from Fig and after facing the antropomorphic personification of her fears, she realizes that her being her true self and being loved are not mutually exclusive
• Birds of a Feather: She and Adaine bond over both being wizards and having social anxiety.
• Deus Exit Machina: She's prevented a few times from directly assisting the party in their quest because she's, in Brennan's own words, "a 13th level wizard who could solve a lot of [the Bad Kids'] problems".
• Disappeared Dad: Disconnected from her father Arthur Aguefort after telling him 300 years ago to never speak to her again. Invokes Tell Me About My Father when she meets the Bad Kids and wants to know if he ever mentioned her.
• Disproportionate Retribution: After Fig is subpoenaed by devils to appear in Gorthalax's case, she plans to wipe their entire plane out of existence.
• Harping on About Harpies: Technically she's a human/phoenix hybrid, but her wings and talons are similar to that of a harpy.
• Hollywood Autism: Since she's intended to be a Gender Flip version of the Sherlock Holmes archetype, she still very much fits the stereotypes of Hollywood Autism. She's a Literal-Minded super genius with savant syndrome and No Social Skills, and her "weirdness" is exaggerated within her introductory scenes before being toned down as she became a recurring and more nuanced character.
  • Downplayed in that Brennan has said he did not intend for Ayda to be an autistic character; (her initial eccentricities most likely meant to parallel her father's) but after a good amount of autistic fans shared that they related to her and were happy to see someone like them portrayed on Dimension 20, he embraced the idea and significantly toned down her quirks in subsequent appearances.
• Insecure Love Interest: Asks Adaine to use her powers of divination to see how many futures exist in which Fig won't want to kiss Ayda again.
  • In the Forest of the Nightmare King she is plagued with visions of her former lives berating her and taunting her by saying there is no logic that someone as amazing as Fig would find any of Ayda's qualities worthwile.
• Luke, You Are My Father: As we find out in the last episode of Sophomore Year, Ayda's last incarnation is the mother of Garthy, who later raised her current incarnation.
• Mala Proper: Misnames The Bad Kids as "low-quality children" and says the line "As the saying goes, keep your friends close, and your enemies… as close as possible".
• Minored in Ass-Kicking: She's primarily an extraordinarily intelligent wizard, but she's also one of the strongest warriors on the Bad Kids' side, being the only one of them other than Gorgug to be able to lift his new axe.
• Semi-Divine: Half celestial as her mother is a phoenix, which at least in this world is a celestial creature.
• Shared Family Quirks: Not immediately apparent, but the way she processes information and sees magic is very much like her father. She also shares his love for the theatrics of magic and Disproportionate Retribution against their allies' enemies.
• That Makes Me Feel Angry: Invokes this constantly with lines like "Incredible, I'm distracted", "I am emotional", and "This is very taxing and I would like it to end!"
• The Phoenix: Her fiery, birdlike features come from her mother, who's a phoenix.
• Really 700 Years Old: An odd example— being half-phoenix, she's reborn at the end of each lifetime, but doesn't retain any memory of the person she was in her past life. To offset this, she writes notes for her future iteration to read so she knows how to take care of the library. Her current iteration is 17, same as the Bad Kids. Arthur reveals she's actually closer to 300 years old; one of her past iterations told him never to talk to her again and another destroyed all her notes as an attempt to start fresh. Thus, Ayda began living without her father's presence in her life at all, and has been basically raising herself even though Arthur has always wanted to reconnect.
