Main Characters

Slick

Slick

A self-proclaimed pimp who is ostensibly the main character of the strip. Late in the strip, he hugs the wrong demon, who BOMFs him and creates his Superpowered Evil Side named Sleaze.

As of a storyline starting in late 2017, he managed to get rid of Sleaze, only for Sleaze to take on a life of his own.

---

• All Men Are Perverts: He's a walking libido. And he's pretty typical at that.
• Badass Longcoat: He seems to spontaneously generate one whenever his Superpowered Evil Side takes over.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Monique, who varies at flattered to disgusted by his advances.
• Bewildering Punishment: The mirror monster gets him this once.
• Big "NEVER!": Screams this twice to the Illuminati drone who demands "Please hand in your testicles." It was really Absinthe and Monique pranking him through the drone.
• Butt-Monkey: He's on the Devil's list, which means bad things will happen to him on a daily basis.
• Casanova Wannabe: The status, as Monique noted, is self-sustaining.
• Celibate Hero: He hid his heart to avoid Cupid's arrows, denying him love.
• Character Development:
  • His experiences and Buddha continue to make him a better person. While he seemed to stagnate, some of that seems to do with his heart being frozen and locked away. His attempt to write a sexy screenplay that was still friendly to feminists resulted in him remembering to fix it.
  • After his period of being Demoted to Extra, he appears to be coming back as a more grown-up, serious Slick. Part of this may have been Sleaze taking on most of his negative traits. He finds the way to confront Sleaze on his terms...It doesn't go as well as he hoped.
• Cool Shades: He very, very rarely removes them.
• Crush Blush: A fembot's total devotion mode can produce this.
• Demoted to Extra: He recognizes it himself, even as he appears to be coming back.
• Failure Hero: As of the Sisterhood storyline, he's been making sincere efforts to improve himself and try to fight against the Devil's patriarchy, but he can never seem to catch a break. Either the Devil's minions brush him off effortlessly, or he sabotages himself with his old bad habits.
• Freudian Couch: In a sudden swerve when he sees his Evil Side's mirror world, he is seen on one, confessing he did not recognize himself.
• Go Mad from the Revelation: Played for humor in this comic.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Slick eventually realizes that Monique will never love him and has in fact fallen in love with a devil girl named Absinthe. He shows resentment, but effectively gives up and walks his own way.
• The Hero: Well, as much of one as you can be in this comic.
• Heart Trauma: His heart takes a great deal of abuse, starting since his heart got emptied of its empathy, and now it's worse thanks to his Super Powered Evil Side. It got better thanks to the intervention of Buddha and Jesus, but has since been split twice and frozen. It has gotten better again, but time will tell for how long.
• Heel Realization: He has become aware of Sleaze's existence and seems to have a general idea of the things that he's done because of it. He's working on exorcising his Superpowered Evil Side, with mixed results. As of November 2017, he manages to do so, but not in the way he hoped...
• Hopeless Suitor: It's not clear whether...
  • Monique is content to lead him on and keep as a backup accessory equipped with Male Gaze and ears, or...
  • She genuinely wants to get it on, but he always says something dumb enough to ensure a turn-off.
  • Or they both are too insecure and self-absorbed to move more than a half-step toward each other.
  • Or all of this. The net result, however, is exactly the same.
  • And with the Sisterhood storyline, their relationship is effectively destroyed. Slick and Monique largely cease to interact at all. One of their last interactions was Slick noticing Monique pelted with rotten produce. He untactfully tries to tell her that she may have a part in it due to riling up Straw Misogynist jerks intentionally. This comes across to her as Victim-Blaming and she calls him out on it. She eventually forms a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship (which later blossoms into a full-fledged romance) with Absinthe.
• It's All About Me: According to the Patriarchy Filters, this is more or less his reaction to Monique's Character Development, selfishly feeling as if she owes him his needs.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Thanks to Character Development, he's actually a pretty decent guy deep down. That is, underneath the drinking, pornography, and skirt-chasing.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: He has decided once and for all to take on Sleaze. A montage shows him getting his necessary weapons. It fails miserably at first, only to finally succeed...by giving Sleaze a life of his own.
  Slick: [to the mirror] Come out demon. Time to meet your end. You and me, mano a mano. Let's go. Before I start feeling ridiculous.
• Love Hurts: His pursuit of Monique causes him a great deal of grief. When he finds that Monique has begun a relationship with Absinthe, he's crushed.
• Men Can't Keep House: Lives in a pigsty.
• Older Than He Looks: He is occasionally mistaken for a child. He is more than 35, since he's run for president three times. Though considering it that this is Sinfest, that might be due to Rule of Funny. Judging bu his attitude and nature, he seems to be in his mid-20's.
• Out of Focus: Ever since the Sisterhood took precedence, 9 out of 10 story arcs won't involve him in any way. It's not unusual for him to go half a year without making a single appearance. Lampshaded in 1/3/2012. And then again in 6/28/2016. If anything, he's at least aware of his status.
• Put on a Bus to Hell: Sleaze stole his body for a while and trapped him in the mirror world. He came back, but it took some time.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot
  '''God (Frankenstein puppet):''' Igor, where'd you get the mouth from?
  '''God (Igor puppet):''' Tourette's patient.
• The Slacker: How he affords his lifestyle is anyone's guess, since he isn't shown doing anything but watching TV, hanging out with his buddies, and looking at nudie mags. Until he and Squig got a job at The Devil's factory manufacturing spy drones.
• Something Else Also Rises: His tie and hair react when he's in the mood.
• Sunglasses at Night: And at every other time of day.
• Took a Level in Kindness: As time passes, he seems to become less of a jerk as part of his Character Development. He now seems to be trying to understand feminism, but it's going rather slowly. Some strips hint this is because he locked away his heart.
• The War on Straw: Post Sisterhood, his characterization has devolved into a caricature of the negative aspects of men. Though he seems to be recovering and trying to change when he's not too frustrated.

Monique

Monique

A hippie feminist girl who is the main target of Slick's attentions. As of 2013-09-08, Monique's shadow has turned demonic, determined to protect Monique from things such as rotten tomatoes, through disproportionate retribution. The demon shadow's name is apparently Demonique, not to be confused with Monique herself when she played at being a demon.

---

• Attention Whore: Originally. And very straightforward in this. This aspect has toned down.
  Porn-hatin' Girl: (stunned) What was that?
  Slicky: Hurricane 'Nique. The attention-sucking vortex of doom.
  • She craves it, but tried to break the addiction.
• Attractive Bent-Gender: Androginique and Trans-Nique.
• Author Avatar: Mostly serves as a mouth piece for the author's politics. In fact since her change, she pretty much looks near identical to The Artist.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Slick.
• Bifauxnen: Androginique and her Important Haircut. Also Badass 'Nique.
  • A formal suit actually suits her VERY well.
• Big Sister Instinct: Occasionally toward Criminy and Absinthe.
• Boyish Short Hair: After her Important Haircut. She always had short hair, but only then is it truly boyish.
• Butch Lesbian: Becomes one after awakening as a feminist. Rejecting stereotypically feminine clothing as a form of male oppression, she ceases to wear skirts and cuts her hair short. She also stops showing any signs of interest in men, forms a romantic relationship with a devil girl named Absinthe, and confirms to Seymour that she's gay.
• Calling Your Attacks: She points her ass towards Slick, yells "ASS!" and causes spontaneous combustion. She also shouts "BAM!" when she points her ass towards others, with varying consequences.
• Character Development: From attention-whore slut to crunchy vegetarian activist feminist.
• Cool Big Sis: Treats Criminy as a little brother. In "Gypsy Nique 5", she was getting ready to attack Fuchsia because she thought he was under threat. Also briefly to an "It Girl" fan.
• Does Not Like Men: After the Sisterhood opens her eyes to the predations of the many Straw Misogynists and her own role in it, she begins fighting back. Her "fans" respond with abuse, throwing tomatoes and insults at her. She eventually comes to realize that they never really respected her at all and only liked her as the embodiment of some fantasy in their head rather than for who she really is. Her response is a desire to beat them up. Counts as a hypocritical moment given her past of being The Tease and sending a million men to hell. Noted here where she seems to wonder if she's any better than when she teased men and broke their hearts on purpose.
• Even the Girls Want Her: As Androginique, she asks a random girl to be friends with benefits... and gets her number.
• Fangirl: She's shown to squee at Barack Star's performances
• Fluffy Tamer: She loves puppies.
• Fridge Horror: Suffers this in-universe. Her fans are enabling her to be sexy and that leads to her being worth Hell to them. She didn't take that well. And she then fell into Hell to see a Purple Devil Girl resembling Demonique who almost stabs Monique with a pitchfork in anger.
• Gag Penis: Apparently Trans 'Nique would be popular with the ladies for reasons other than being very good-looking.
• Granola Girl: Post-Character Development she becomes this, campaigning for environmental causes and becoming a vegan.
• Hot Gypsy Woman: She takes a shot at this in one of her many attempts at re-inventing herself. The resulting story arc is short, but it has interesting long-term consequences.
• Hypocrite: She ditched Slick while accusing him of Victim-Blaming...only for her to outright be able to see Slick's demon and blame him for everything Sleaze does.
• I Am What I Am: She has apparently come to terms with her past as Demonique. Notably, the demonic shadow that stalks her has suddenly become protective her. Instead of embodying her guilt, it now embodies her anger at men.
• I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: Bubble wrap. That's good shit, girlfriend.
• I Hate Past Me: Delete all the old poem files on her computer, burns her old poetry books, clothes and statues from her It Girl period. Also, the guilt she feels for her past as a cockteaser and heartbreaker returns.
• I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Often more like "I Have Booty, You Must Obey!"
• Important Haircut: The revolution has begun.
• Informed Attractiveness: She doesn't look that different from the devil girls, but managed to haul in a lot more men in a brief stint at the booth.
• Interspecies Romance: With Absinthe.
• Lady Looks Like a Dude: Her attire for the Ball. Yes, That IS Monique there.
• Ms. Fanservice: Demonique is really, really hot, and often dresses to accentuate that.
• Must Have Caffeine: Hell, it practically gives her wings.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Guilt. She's feeling it.
• Not So Above It All: Much of the time she's just as perverted and grandiose as Slick.
• Official Couple: With Absinthe.
• The Prankster: Likes to "terrorize prudes", which practically means messing with Seymour's poor little brain.
• Self-Serving Memory: Tells Absinthe that she and Slick simply drifted apart when She was the one who ended their friendship after Slick gave some poorly timed advice.
• She Who Fights Monsters: Not nearly as bad as the other feminists, but one can see it from time to time. She also appears to know about Slick's Superpowered Evil Side, but still holds Slick responsible for everything that Sleaze does, and doesn't seem to care enough to TELL him.
• Sleeps with Everyone but You: How Slick regards her. Apparently he's got a point — Or is this all only show much like with himself?
• Soapbox Sadie: She morphs into this, replacing her highly titillating poetry reading for screeds against patriarchy. It hasn't helped her popularity with the crowds one bit. Even before the Sisterhood transformed her, she already strongly condemned consumerism, imperialism, and the surveillance state and would often join political protests.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl/Lady and Knight: With Absinthe. Of course, she's the strong, protective tomboy.
• The Tease: At first, but it has toned down after being approved by Big D and his girls.
• Women Are Wiser: By comparison to the likes of Slick and Squigley, though that's not saying much.
• You Are Worth Hell: A lot of guys would agree in-comic, as the line up to sell their souls just for a chance to meet her.
• Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: She starts regretting her attention whoring after accidentally tempting guys into eternal damnation with her demon cosplay, but it's getting paychecks from Hell, along with Blue's "congratulations" that drives her into changing her image.
• Your Head Asplode: She can do this. With her butt.
  "ASS!"

Criminy

Criminy

Nerdy bookworm who reads a lot under a tree.

---

• All Men Are Perverts: SUBVERTS the trope hard enough to be exiled from the strip.
• Badass Bookworm: Criminy. He breaks into Hell, and later tames a demonic, flying pitchfork and rides it out through the ceiling and perceives a toothed flame-breathing demonic book as an "interesting challenge".
• Beware the Nice Ones: The end of the Bad Behavior series is the first time he's ever been pissed off in over 10 years.
• Chaste Hero: He's never shown any interest in women, and can't even recognize when one is making a pass at him — until Fuchsia appears. Then it takes time. Fuchsia's more aggressive suggestions embarrass him thoroughly.
• Curtains Match the Window: Brown eyes to match his brown hair.
• Cute Bookworm: Criminy likes to hide from the world in his book fort.
• Day Hurts Dark-Adjusted Eyes: The first time he stepped away from his book fort.
• Determinator: He digs a hole straight to hell without a break just to see Fuchsia again.
• Demoted to Extra: He gets this worse than almost everybody, especially after the Sisterhood storyline took over.
• Endearingly Dorky: Fuchsia certainly thinks so.
• Fluffy Tamer: Tomey, a demonic book, Forky and Fuchsia.
• Grew a Spine: As seen when he shuts up Seymour and takes a journey through hell. He's certainly come a long way from hiding in a book fort.
• Hidden Depths: One panel shows that he's also a DJ
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: The Devil calls him "a towering pillar of moral courage", though was very unassuming at the time.
• Innocent Innuendo: He's probably Sinfest's only example.
• Innocently Insensitive: He accidentally broke a girl's heart. He simply has no concept of the idea of a woman who's into him.
• Interspecies Romance: With Fuchsia, a demon girl.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Although the implications aren't discussed, it's mentioned that succubi have eternal youth.
• Morality Pet: To Fuchsia in the earlier stages of her development.
• Mr. Fanservice: To Fuchsia, here. This has returned in some later strips, to the point that Criminy posing in the nude so that Fuchsia can paint him is now a bit of a Running Gag.
• Nerds Are Virgins: Though for how long remains to be seen...
• Nice Guy: His kindness caused the succubus, Fuchsia, to fall in love with him and eventually have a Heel–Face Turn.
• The Paragon: He's so upright that he makes a demon question her place in the world after spending an afternoon with him. Not even the angels could accomplish that.
• Odd Friendship: With Slick and Squigley, as shown here
• Only Sane Man: Along with Jesus and Buddha, he's one of the only characters not to be a complete nut.
• Put on a Bus: Seems to have largely vanished, with Fuchsia's current mini-arc not even featuring what he's doing at the same time, Seemingly due to being the only character without a vice to exploit in order to make him seem as evil as all the other male characters.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: Is temporarily turned into the cutest frog ever.
• Shrinking Violet: Prior to development.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Compared to Fuchsia, and Fuchsia is pretty petite.
• Token Good Teammate: For the main four, pre-Character Development.
• Took a Level in Badass: He dug his way into Hell itself for Fuchsia, and Grew a Spine towards Seymour. He has been shown capable of his own against a sentient demonic pitchfork with just a shovel. He then flies out of Hell while being pursued by a Succubus mounted on the SAME pitchfork. He scares the shit out of Lil'Evil and buzzes past God.
• Understanding Boyfriend: Doesn't seem to mind Fuchsia's er... profession. The fact that she can't go into the Reality Zone doesn't faze him much either, despite the fact that he loves taking walks through it.
  • Notably, recent strips suggest that Fuchsia is making sure that he'll be able to finally get to walk with her in the Reality Zone for real.
• What Beautiful Eyes!: Has brown eyes which Fuchsia just loves.
• You Are Worth Hell: He risks Satan's wrath to go see Fuchsia. He makes it clear that he didn't go to rescue her; he just wanted to be with her.

Squigley

Squigley

A weed smoking stoner pig. Slick's best friend.

---

• A Friend in Need: The Only person actively trying to help Slick with his fight with Devil Slick
• Acrofatic: He can do Le Parkour.
• Addiction-Powered: When he's stoned enough he can fly using whatever he happens to be sitting on, usually his couch but at least once, his toilet. He's recently developed the power of "fading" which, like his flying in the early days he doesn't have complete control of. He refers to it as being a ''shaman'' (which, while silly, is not entirely inaccurate). Seems to work the same way when he overloads his brain with porn but it's more dangerous and he can't close the page after that.
• All Men Are Perverts: Although he's far, far less subtle about it.
• Big Eater: As one might expect from a pig, he's constantly shoveling pizza, burritos, and burgers in his mouth
• Character Development: He's gotten musical talent and was a hobo for a while. Beginning about here and he's apparently lost some weight. Most of the main page shout outs are from him traveling.
• Conspiracy Theorist: In the "Illuminatis" storyline, he's seen flying around on a couch and rambling about the Illuminati, the Bilderburg, 9/11 truth theories, FEMA death camps, etc., etc. May or may not be a case of Writer on Board.
• Crossdresser: Ran for president as Sarah Piglin. Has also crossdressed as a backup singer to either Slick or Monique.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Seymour of all people has a crush on Sarah, oblivious to the fact she's Squigley.
• Compressed Abstinence: In Begin Countdown.
• Contagious Laughter: He landed in Hell once while on drugs, and laughed so merrily that the damned were joining in. (Satan kicked him. He laughed his head off.)
• Cowardly Lion: For a sinner and hedonist, Squigley is surprisingly good at defying Satan and throwing wrenches into his plans.
  Squig: (swooping down to save Criminy from the Devil) I'M SCARED BUT THAT WON'T STOP MEEEEE
  • After a bad trip, he SHUTS DOWN HELL
• Depending on the Writer: While he's always been portrayed as some kind of loser; Squigley's purpose in the comic has changed a great deal as the latter itself has changed. During the 2000s, he was (as mentioned in his description above) Slick's best friend, who's personality was that of a laid-back, if rather lazy, stoner. During the 2010s, he was the comic's designated Straw Misogynist, representing a lot of traits that the Sisterhood deemed sexist. As of the 2020s, it's implied that Slick's new purpose has changed to a virgin/incel wishing to become an alpha chad, and in sharp contrast, is presented as a rather sympathetic character.
• Everything's Messier with Pigs: He lives in a pigsty (figuratively speaking) and is a very sloppy eater.
• Funny Animal: He's the comic relief of the group.
• The Hedonist: Indulges in drugs, alcohol, junk food and sex... or, well, he would've if he could get any, but he has to settle for porn.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Slick and to a lesser extent Criminy.
• I Just Want to Be Loved: Here. Counts as a Pet the Dog.
• Le Parkour: Surprisingly.
• Men Can't Keep House: Lives in a pigsty. (A metaphorical pigsty.)
• Mushroom Samba: More than once
• My God, What Have I Done?: He feels so guilty after being confronted by one of Uncle Sam's trafficking victims that he tries to turn himself into the police.
• N-Word Privileges: Only pigs are allowed to say "pigga."
• Perception Filter: Has recently learned how to "fade" although he lacks control just as he did with his flying when it first showed up.
• Perverted Pig: Loves low-brow jokes and porn.
• Pig Man: He's just a pig. But he's a very anthropomorphic pig. He's drawn as a literal pig in the Reality Zone, although he still talks and still has his mind.
• The Plague: During the Swine Flu scare, people thought he was a carrier. Up to the point where people screamed and fled in terror (with one person screaming "Nobody have sex with him. EVER!")
• Real Men Hate Affection: A horror-struck realization when he revealed emotional vulnerability.
• Selective Obliviousness: About misogyny and feminism. He turns it up even more when any of the Feminists point out how wrong he is. Sometimes the words of the black feminist girl reach him but he chooses not to listen to his own conscience.
• Serious Business: He pulls off several Parkour moves to get to a burrito place right before closing. He also pawns his entire porn stash (it hit the ceiling, not counting the stuff on his PC) for some kind of deluxe taco shop special.
• Seven Deadly Sins: He's gluttony: Big Eater, stoner, drinker, avid consumer of porn... Although he now and then gets sick and tired of his lifestyle and starts dieting, exercising, dropping the intoxicants, and throwing his porn away. For a while.
• Sky Surfing: He can actually fly when using drugs and can carry other people with him.
• The Slacker: His lifestyle is very similar to Slick's, only with more pot-smoking and binge-eating.
• Straw Misogynist: More specifically, a straw 3rd wave feminist, which is portrayed as a thinly veiled excuse for disgusting misogynistic behavior. Charitably, one can claim that it's less the philosophy under fire and more the people who only have a superficial understanding of it, like Squig.
• The Stoner: ... To the point of using pot to allow his sofa to fly (even into, and then back out of Hell). He later tokes up on the toilet. This leads to said toilet blasting its way through the roof and eventually landing in the tree Fuchsia and Criminy hang out at. Needless to say, they pull him down, but not before the flight of the toilet ends up on Twitter and a ton of other social networking sites.
• Token Evil Teammate: Even after Character Development, he's still the most amoral of the protagonists.
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: While stoned, once dropped to Hell but was kicked out. Even his snoring is too bad for Hell.
• Trademark Favorite Food: He's a big fan of tacos and burritos. See Le Parkour and Serious Business.
• Walking the Earth: As a hobo with a magic banjo. He's home now.
• The War on Straw: Used as such depicting "Sex Positive Feminism" as something that (according the comic) doesn't exist and is just misogyny in disguise. Ironic considering that the term "Sex Positive" was invented by women.

Divine Beings

God

God

Needs no further explanation.

---

• Big Good: He's the chief force for good in the comic, even if it's sometimes difficult to tell. However, ever since the Sisterhood storyline took precedence, he's been a neutral force at best and barely present except for one-panel gags.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer / Genius Ditz / Cloudcuckoolander: He spends his time putting on puppet shows, usually at someone's expense (mainly the Devil's), making silly art pieces, and even performing magic tricks. Regardless, he's still God.
• Demoted to Extra: Oddly enough. He's appeared sparingly since roughly 2012, and his role in the plot has diminished to almost nothing.
• The Faceless: All you ever see are his hands, with or without puppets.
• God Is Good: An arse, maybe, but good.
• Good Is Not Nice: It's downright mean sometimes.
• Jerkass God
  Slick: Why did you make me like this?
  God: Just to see if I could.
• Hand Puppet: God in this comic seems to communicate primarily through this.
• I Just Want to Be Loved: He puts on shows for attention and seems genuinely concerned with whether they are entertaining. The fact that the Devil is more popular than him bothers him immensely, and he even cries when he thinks that no one believes in him anymore.
  Seymour: You're in our schools! Our courts! Our ballparks! Our money! You're everywhere!
  God: I just want to be in your heart.
• King of All Cosmos: Imagine the Judeo-Christian God as a Mad Artist with a goofy sense of humor and you've pretty much got the idea.
• Neutral No Longer: Has largely been a passive observer of the conflict between the Devil and the Sisterhood. However, as of August 2020, he's not only decided to start smiting people, but has left heaven for the first time.
• Pet the Dog: When not viciously mocking his creations, God can actually be a nice guy. He even pet Monique's head when she started crying. He also tells Slick he will get a companion for him which results in Monique feeling a calling. Sure, she never makes it to the reunion point, but that was the succubi girls doing.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: He threatens to smite Devil every other time. They constantly pick on each other... But missed him when D retired. Also, the Dragon and God frequently banter, and Dragon tend to pulverize his cloud, torch his hand puppet or something else, they scuffle a bit... rinse, repeat.

The Devil

The Devil

Needs no explanation.

---

• Aloof Big Brother: While not explictly related (maybe), his relationship with Jesus does have undertones of this. During a strip where they were a water cooler, their jabs are reminscent of brothers fighting, particularly in the rebellious problem child vs The Dutiful Son.
• Allergic to Love: "Yech! Ick!" This includes angel-glitter and (of course) "father-son thing". Also bomfed Cupid's arrows.
• Awakening the Sleeping Giant: The Devil enjoys relatively little opposition, despite being on the bad side of some of the most powerful creatures in the series. However, kidnapping MMXX and installing the "Woke" upgrade in the fembots seems to have been the last straw, and now Kate, Vainglorious, and God are all on his case.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: He's almost always wearing a sharp red business suit.
• Badass Longcoat: Alternately a classic overcoat, or a stylish fur pimp coat.
• Big Bad: He's the chief force for evil in the comic, working overtime to corrupt the souls of everyone he can. He maintains this position in the Sisterhood storyline, being the the driving force behind The Patriarchy.
• Big "OMG!": Apparently Satan likes My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
• Big Red Devil: Not a classical example but his color motif is red.
• Black Magic: Stylized as explosions that go "BOMF" when his hands are outstretched. He also apparently substitutes occult rituals for medical care for his employees.
• Cain and Abel: He and Jesus have undertones of this with God being the father. In this case, troubled rebel Devil would be the Cain.
• Came Back Wrong: When the young Satan finds the young Baby Blue trying unsuccessfully to bring a dove Back from the Dead, he brings it back as a devilish creature.
• Card-Carrying Villain: By necessity, being the Devil and all.
• Chew Toy: To God. Also frequently has a back-and-forth of this with Jesus.
• The Comically Serious: "You could say that."
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: Is often depicted as such.
• Daddy Issues: His interactions with God seem to have heavy undertones with this, especially on how father-son stuff peeved him. Becomes a bit more noticeable when also interacting with Jesus.
• Deal with the Devil: Weapon of choice in his schemes.
• The Devil Is a Loser: "What are you implying?!"
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His son, Lil' E, whom he is protective of despite their distance, and his son's mother, whose disappearance he still seems to be sad over.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Provides the page image if nothing else.
  • In fact, in the trope's image, he thinks God made him just to make himself look good.
  • Case in point: He's still in disbelief that Buddha and Jesus are still having fun despite losing the race. It doesn't click in his mind that while material comforts may provide him with short-term happiness, this still leaves them Lonely at the Top.
  • Another case: He is confused on why Buddha is happy despite not having all Satan's stuff. Therefore, according to the Devil, Buddha's priorities are screwed up.
• Evil Is Petty: He has his moments When Monique has her new "It Girl" feminist poetry reading, he finds he can fill a potential market by supplying rotten vegetables if she bombs.
• Foreshadowing: Take a look at this strip, and the next few after it. Compare with what you know now.
• Faux Affably Evil: Naturally. All of his friendliness is just a ploy to make selling your soul seem like a great idea.
• Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: He was smoking since he was a youngster.
• Kick The Son Of A Bitch: To Seymour in Bomf 4. And he did it right after Seymour attacked Fuchsia with holy water while she was just relaxing and admiring a passing butterfly.
• Knight Templar: Invoked. His Woke strategy allows him to co-opt the language of social justice to trick people into thinking his evil is for a good cause. So far, it's been the most successful tactic in his arsenal.
• Lack of Empathy: Understandable since he IS the Devil after all. Not that this still isn't quite sad.
• A Lady on Each Arm: Well, a succubus; YMMV as to whether they are ladies. Less as the succubi became developed characters.
• Lonely at the Top: It sure is.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: To Little E.
• Man of Wealth and Taste: Always in a fancy business suit, driving a sweet sports car, and surrounded by piles of money.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: Sure, it's fun seeing Satan as a subtle, mundane, glamorous and occasionally pathetic exec. Then Tat reminds us that Satan is NOT funny.
• Pet the Dog: Occasionally. See Baby Blue. Stole apples from Paradise to give to Little E's mother in his youth, even though it cost a wing.
• Psychopathic Manchild: One day he is ill-mannered in his own soul. Not to mention how much he loved ponies. As that.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He likes My Little Pony. Really. No, seriously.
• Right-Hand Cat: Played with. He's stroking a My Little Pony plushie.
• Secret Secret-Keeper:
  • As of 2017, he has been aware of Fuchsia's painting for some time.
  • Hidden in his observation room, he watches and applauds Lil'E and Tangerine's escape from the party bouncers.
• Stock Phrases: Can avert the "X doesn't grow on trees" phrase, it seems. See?
• Straw Misogynist: The Patriarchy, porn, institutionalized sexism and the objectification of women are the devil's work you see? Can we make it any more blatant?
• Took a Level in Badass: He became much more sinister and dangerous post-Sisterhood. Beforehand, he ran a lemonade stand offering lopsided deals. Now he's in charge of a multinational corporation that is responsible for every evil shown in the comic. Considering God is essentially a non-entity now, he's effectively the most powerful being in the comic.

Jesus

Jesus

Needs no further explanation.

---

• Badass Longcoat: As Steampunk Jesus.
• Badass Pacifist: His powers can't hurt anyone (putting aside The Devil), when he sees fights he stops them blessing everyone and he's one of the strip's most powerful characters.
• Berserk Button: Do NOT try to put a price tag on Creation.
• Cain and Abel: He and the Devil have undertones of this with God being the father. Jesus would be the good younger brother, Abel in this case.
• Chew Toy: To Satan, about half the time. He can dish it out as well as he takes it, though.
• Demoted to Extra: Lately, he's had fewer appearances than even God, Buddha, and the Dragon. That is, if we don't count his appearances in Seymour's fantasies.
• Generic Cuteness: Thanks to Art Evolution.
• Good Hurts Evil: An Illuminati drone tries to examine the depths of Jesus' goodness. The expected happens.
• Good Is Not Dumb: Sorry, Blue.
• Fertile Feet: That he can apparently turn off and on at will.
• Holy Hand Grenade: BLESSINGS!! Unlike the usual examples of this trope, this doesn't destroy. It merely purifies the target of evil desires.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: So much that the illuminati drone exploded trying to scan his inner majesty.
• Kung-Fu Jesus: Sometimes. He can occasionally be seen duking it out with the Devil.
• Jesus Was Way Cool: HE USES KARATE ON THE DEVIL!
• Light Is Good: Usually wears all white. Frequently blesses the damned.
• Only Sane Man: Alongside Buddha and Criminy, though on occasion he's Not So Above It All.
• Pals with Buddha: Apparently going all the way back to childhood.
• The Dutiful Son: While he IS Jesus and doing the lord's work, the dynamic of him being the good child becomes more noticeable when the Devil is involved, with the undertones of the Devil being the troubled child (who was once the favorite) being compared to the good son.
• The Paragon: Usually. He's not above making fun of the Devil though.
• Stupid Sexy Flanders: Weaponized, complete with no shirt and Bishie Sparkle.

The Dragon

The Dragon

Representative of all Eastern religion.

---

• Big Good: Ever since the Sisterhood storyline took prominence, he seems to have taken this position from God.
• Deadpan Snarker: Especially on God vs. Devil issue/all the time.
• Demoted to Extra: He has been out of focus ever since the Sisterhood appeared. Eventually he meets up with them.
• Dragons Up the Yin Yang: Invoked. There's a reason why they picked a dragon to represent Eastern Philosophy.
• Interfaith Smoothie: As the embodiment of all East Asian religions, he's this incarnate.
• Pass the Popcorn: His favorite pastime. "Go whoever!"
• Take a Third Option: An advocate of this.
• The Theme Park Version: He supposedly represents all Eastern religions, but this only manifests as taking no position on the God vs Devil conflict and "pursuing a middle road".
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: He seems to be able to turn into a Western-style dragon at will, becoming more lizard-like rather than his normal serpentine body.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With God, whom he likes to prank and poke fun at.
• You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: He gets angry exactly once in the whole comic, and on that occasion, the Devil's factory ceased to exist.

Buddha

Buddha

Guess.

---

• Badass Pacifist: Notable for being of the few characters that the Devil can't corrupt. His powers can't hurt anyone, living or dead. He remains one of the strip's most powerful characters.
• Characterization Marches On: He went from The Quiet One to practically The Voiceless.
• Demoted to Extra: Ever since Xanthe and the Sisterhood showed up, he hasn't been seen in a while. A very long while. As of 2013, he's back.
• Elemental Powers: Wind, trees and life energy.
• Fertile Feet: Much like Jesus, he can do this at will.
• Friend to All Living Things: Not limited to living, for that matter.
• Good Is Not Soft: Luckily for the Devil, Buddha is a pacifist.
• The Mentor: Arguably, to Slick.
• Nice Guy: Naturally, he’s sweet and cheerful to nearly everyone, and always offers to share his zen and wisdom, even if they can’t always understand him. Even when facing Satan and his minions, his retaliation is likely VERY subdued than what it could be, if his powers are anywhere close to God or The Dragon’s.
• Pals with Jesus: They hang out together on occasion. Sometimes they duke it out, although that page comes across more as a friendly sparring match than an actual fight. Just look how happy baby Jesus is!
• The Paragon: He defeated the Devil face-to-face simply by being that incorruptible.
• The Quiet One: Most of the time; whenever he does speak, it's usually in Romanized Hindi.
• Sky Surfing: Using a lotus or a cloud.
• The Unintelligible: In some of the strips. He's perfectly understandable in others though.

Death

Death

The grim reaper.

---

• Allergic to Love: Pheromones, to be specific.
• Always a Bigger Fish: Or a Bigger Dragon.
• Berserk Button: Don't cut him off ESPECIALLY if it's to get Immortality.
• Cold Sniper: His scythe doubles as a Sniper Rifle.
• Cool Ship: Has a transforming coffin version of KITT from Knight Rider, as seen in the link above.
• Don't Fear the Reaper: He and the cartoonist had a nice talk and watched girls passing by, and he acted like a pretty cool guy.
• Friendly Sniper: Zig-Zag example. Don't get it wrong, he WILL kill you if your time is up and he is scary, but, like in the Don't Fear the Reaper example, he is friendly to people who just bother to talk to him (when he's off duty).
• In-Series Nickname: The Devil calls him Skeletor, to Death's annoyance. Apparently, there's no love lost between the two of them.
• Nothing Personal: He claims so.
• Pet the Dog: Saving MMXVII from Bondage Guy is both this and Pragmatic Villainy. Killing her is HIS job and no one else gets to.
• Punch-Clock Villain: He's only doing his job. A job he enjoys immensely, but still.
• Sinister Scythe: Naturally. Also functions as a Sniper Rifle.
• The Grim Reaper: Obviously.
• Walking Wasteland: When he feels like it, though he usually prefers to use his scythe.

Demons

Fuchsia

Fuchsia

A fuchsia-colored succubus, also known as Fyoosh. She has undergone extensive character development (and got lots of screen time) since late 2008.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: The above-mentioned "Fyoosh" is Blue's nickname for her, featured in several strips.
• Anti-Villain: After Character Development and influence from Criminy, she went from a pure villain to a type I to IV to Woobie.
• Art Evolution: Look at her original portrayal and back to the current. The wardrobe change only does so much. Look even further back to one of her first appearances without tail or horns.
• Ascended Extra: She and Baby Blue first appeared as one of several hanger-ons to the Devil.
• Badass Adorable:
  • You mess with her friends, or with Criminy, and she will remind you that she WAS a Devil Girl.
  • Also shows this in one major way in the most recent arcs. She currently does drawing in the tranquil area of the Reality Zone. Which can cause burning pain and rapid death to anything and anyone demonic... for several MINUTES at a time. She should be dead in less than a minute.
• Berserk Button: Seymour messing with Criminy time ended poorly for him. And don't screw with Forky. She was considering killing Lil' E after Criminy showed up and made her happy.
• Butterfly of Transformation: The motif is particularly associated with her.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Until 2009.
• Character Development: Gone from a standard succubus seducer, to an intrigued girl or Stalker with a Crush, to a genuine sweetheart. In the process, she returns to her youthful hobby of art.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Indeed, the fuchsia demon is named Fuchsia.
• Corrupt the Cutie: She originally tried to do this to Criminy via seduction. Instead, he seduced her without even trying, and between that and Xanthe's advice Fuchsia became "corrupted" by the standards of Hell, i.e. no longer evil.
• Cynicism Catalyst: Her departure of the Devil's Mansion to live near Criminy becomes one for Baby Blue.
• Dark Is Not Evil: She was a succubus working for the Devil, but she sure can be sweet to Criminy.
• Depraved Bisexual: Is no longer depraved. May still be bi, but if so, it's suppressed in favor of Criminy.
• Despair Event Horizon: Breaks down and cries after the end of Bad Behavior. She got better when Criminy broke into Hell for her.
• Dismissing a Compliment: While practicing her flirtation in the early stages of the Character Development.
• Distracted by the Sexy: Her weapon of choice when not burning things during her early appearances.
• Fiery Redhead: Well, fire-powered fuchsia-head. Has been shown to be a redhead as a human, though.
• Heel–Face Turn: Without so much as saying a word, she tells Big D to piss off.
• Heel Realisation: Only actually has one after her Heel–Face Turn. The full ramifications of her actions don't hit home until a good while after she changes.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Criminy is spot-on with his compliment to Fuchsia when he first meets her, and, in the end, she DID let him live because of how sweet he was.
• Hope Is Scary: Finds that Crimney's affections bring this into play.
• Hot as Hell: Has become much less focused on seduction as of late. However, she is shown at times to be still, horny for Criminy.
• Hot-Blooded: Again, a fire succubus.
• I Hate Past Me/Shell-Shocked Veteran: She gets horrified after a flashback of her past self or having a "stabby episode".
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Since falling in love with Criminy.
• Interspecies Romance: Fuchsia has one with Criminy.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Light(er) to Blue's Dark.
• Love Redeems: Clearly a goal for her and a wish of fans.
• Magical Girlfriend: Played With. Being an immortal demon presents its perks and problems... but Criminy takes no issue with either.
• Mama Bear: Attempting to make a trophy out of her pet is a VERY bad idea. The only thing that stopped her from killing Little E was Criminy's earlier visit cheering her up after her Despair Event Horizon.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Although the implications aren't discussed, it's mentioned that succubi have eternal youth.
• Meaningful Name: She's named for the color of her hair and clothing.
• Mirror Monologue: For flirting practice.
• Morality Pet: To Baby Blue. She genuinely cares about her. She still does, long after her departure.
• Out of Focus: She's rarely seen without Criminy these days, and since he rarely appears, so does she.
  • More recently, her appearances have been part of a mini-arc where she attempts to be able to do things in the Reality Zone, despite it being walled off by the Devil, but Criminy himself has all but vanished.
• Pair the Smart Ones: An early attempt to win Criminy has her posing as smart to invoke this.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: She causes Laser-Guided Amnesia to a Straw Misogynist creep and turns him into a frog.
• Playing with Fire: The most advanced of the devil girls in terms of her proficiency with fire as she's the only one that can turn it into a projectile rather than use it as a flame thrower.
• Punch-Clock Villain: One stage in her Character Development leading to her Heel–Face Turn. That stage ends with (or before) her departure from The Devil's mansion.
• Reluctant Monster: She is not happy showing her demon hood.
• Sailor Fuku: Fuchsia's alternate outfit which she uses to blend in with humans.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: Her "stabby episodes" imply she has Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Best explanation for her affection towards Criminy.
• Succubus in Love: While it is debatable on whether or not she is a succubus or just a devil, she did routinely use sexuality to lure men into making terrible deals, involving selling their souls. Then she met Criminey, who proved all but immune to her charms, and thus was even more alluring to her. Ultimately she ran away from her job to be with him.
• The Farmer and the Viper: In-story; she reads a book with the frog/scorpion version and is worried that the in-my-nature part of it applies to her. Fortunately, Criminy convinces her that it doesn't.
• The Storyteller: To the damned, as she started to reform.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: With Criminy, to whom she's nearly twice as tall.
• Villainous Crush: Very much the humanizing version. The beginning of her transformation from seductive succubus to her Heel–Face Turn. Also the beginning of her development from random side character to a major character with her own individual personality.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Leave Criminy alone or you'll be burned alive.
• Yandere: Though only very early in her romance plot and Character Development.
• You Are Worth Hell:
  • Criminy digs through the Earth for her, ready to face what or who he has to. Leads to Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
  • Also, considering in her first appearances, she couldn't go into the Reality Zone, her, implied, regular trips into it for longer and longer times might be an attempt to be able to be with Criminy even in the real world.
• You Will Be Spared:
  • In her first serious meeting with Crimney. (Fuchsia and Baby Blue are shown both "visiting with" Criminy in an earlier scene from a day in their lives).
  • Look back at the 2009 strip, and then think about the current Fyoosh. Foreshadowing, perhaps?

Blue

Blue (formerly Baby Blue)

A blue succubus. Overall, still mostly evil. Given her Character Development and her role in The Devil's industries, it would be most incongruous to continue calling her "Baby Blue".

---

• Affably Evil: She's definitely evil, but she's meant to be inviting and charming.
• Ascended Extra: She and Fuchsia first appeared as one of several hanger-ons to the Devil, without horns or tail.
• Back from the Dead: In our first flashback to her past, she sees a boy she has a crush on succeed in resurrecting a dead animal, and fails herself. Then Satan opts for Came Back Wrong.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: The Devil cheers up Blue after she failed Divinity School.
• Big Sister Instinct: Toward Fuchsia and ultimately Absinthe as well.
• Black Magic: Her demonic corruption power, known as being Bomfed in universe.
• Card-Carrying Villain: It's in her job description.
• Character Development: Initially shown as a very care-free, fun-loving type who enjoys her job way too much. She shows more concern and worry as Fuchsia finds her enthusiasm for being evil waning. Clearly Fuchsia's presence was one of the things that made her job so much fun, because afterward she starts dressing more conservatively and acts much more serious.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Like all of the demon girls, she's named for her primary color scheme.
• Depraved Bisexual: Had a physical relationship with Fuchsia, but also delighted in arousing and distracting men, often by exploiting that relationship.
• Distracted by the Sexy: Weapon of choice. When not using her whip.
• Evil Feels Good: She certainly subscribes to this. Fuchsia doesn't seem to get it anymore.
• Expy: Damned if Blue doesn't seem like a succubus version of Nabiki Tendo.
• Glitter-Pointed and Happy: What she briefly becomes when under the influence of the glitter points around Criminy.
• A Friend in Need: Toward Fuchsia. It seems to have gone both ways.
• Friend-or-Idol Decision: For the first time, Baby Blue has to affirmatively choose between her loyalty to the Devil and to Fuchsia.
• Good Feels Good: Seems to enjoy herself when a good force influences her. So far it hasn't stuck, though.
• Good Is Dumb: While under the influence of glitter points, she showed a much less evil personality. And a dangerous lack of concern for what the Devil would do to her.
• Hidden Depths, for both her and The Devil: She attended Divinity School as a girl, but failed. The Devil came to comfort her during her low points. There is no evidence that the Devil was involved in her failures.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Has been insanely jealous of Criminy.
• Hot as Hell: Succubus. She uses that.
• If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: Hurt Fuchsia, and Blue will destroy you, Criminy. But she won't harm Criminy otherwise, because that would hurt Fuchsia.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Dark to Fuchsia's Light and definitely to Absinthe's Light.
• Meaningful Name: Named for the color of her hair and clothing.
• Murder the Hypotenuse:
  • May have been attempted in Dig 7 given the look of murderous intent in her eyes. Might have succeeded if not for the glitter points.
  • Apparently she will put this off as long as Fyoosha loves Crim and he doesn't break Fyoosh's heart.
• Pet the Dog: She's had a few, mostly relating to Fuchsia — but she also helped Monique escape the Devils mansion.
• Perky Female Minion: Originally, but since Fuchsia has left...
• Playing with Fire: Apparently, she can do this if she's mad, at minimum, though unlike Fuchsia, her flames are more like a flame thrower rather than a long range projectile.
• Puppy Love: In our first flashback to her past, she passes a note to a familiar boy to tell him he's cute.
• Secret-Keeper: Knows that Absinthe brought 'Nique to the Devil Mansion.
• Secret Secret-Keeper: And how 'Nique escaped. Time will tell if she decides to say something to her boss.
• Sexy Secretary: Takes on this look when she wants to come across as more professional in her business of sin-accounting. She has taken to wearing it more frequently as events (and characterization) have marched on.
• Start of Darkness: She used to attend Divinity School. She meets The Devil as a boy, who's nice to her when she fails.
• Succubi and Incubi: A blue succubus. Part of her job involves engaging in lesbian orgies to seduce potential soul-sellers.
• Whip of Dominance: She's a succubus who uses a bullwhip not only as a weapon, but to torment the souls in hell, and clearly enjoys doing it. She can use her tail topside to much the same effect.
• Yandere: Note her reaction to seeing Criminy in Hell.

Angie

Angie (a.k.a. "Tangerine"/"Pebbles")

A dark orange succubus created from a country girl.

---

• Action Girl: Goes all-out Mama Bear on a pair of demons who bully Lily.
• All Hail the Great God Mickey!: Thinks Jay-Z and Jesus are the same person. Likewise Santa and Satan.
• Ambiguous Innocence: Is a succubus and a gun-totter, but behaves without malicious intent, for the most part.
• Amnesiacs are Innocent: Her behavior, even when criminal, tends to be childish.
• Anti-Villain: Type 3, see Obliviously Evil below. May lean towards Designated Villain, as she seems to practice (in her own strange way) Christianity. She even sanctifies Lil' E.
• Ascended Extra: Her future importance in the story isn't really visible in her introduction. It's even less so here.
• Ax-Crazy: Probably the most violent character in Sinfest. Is plotting to kill Santa/Satan (her pronunciation makes it unclear). She's also taken to "killing" pastries.^note Or rather, "fighting the pastry-arky."
• Badass Adorable: She's ridiculously strong and can BOMF with the best of them.
• Berserk Button: Pick on Lily and Pebbles will go Bam-Bam on your ass
• Black Magic: Bomf. She cocks her hands back like she's aiming a gun, like Yusuke's Spirit Gun and Sailor Mars' Fire Soul. She's sometimes done this two-handed.
• Cat Girl: Werecatgirl: Rawr!
• Cloudcuckoolander: To be expected when she got Bomfed by the Devil before Slick and Monique tried to help her via their own attempts at "bomfing".
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience
• Commonality Connection: The common horns draw her to both Lil' E and Fuchsia.
• Cool Big Sis: She's been playing this to Lil E since that whole Lethe affair.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She tries her best to protect and take care of him.
• The Ditz: She's not quite getting the hang of being a devil.
• Earlybird Cameo: Before becoming a devil girl she asked Squigley to play a Britney Spears song on his banjo.
• Evil Feels Good: While probably not coming from any sense of sadism, she relishes in "bomfing" whatever she feels like on a whim, describing it as "fuuuuun". To be sure, when she sees it used to actually blast someone to Hell, it clearly unnerves her.
• The Fashionista: Has twice shown interest and desire in other characters' clothes.
• A Friend in Need:
  • A computer game implies she would go To Hell and Back for a friend. Then she goes and rescues Lily.
  • She is currently out to rescue Seymour from jail.
• Good Feels Good: Assures Lil' E of this — though she may overestimate how much she is a force for good.
• Happy Dance: Over her hoodie.
• Harmless Villain: Has slid into this territory now she's lost Seymour's shotgun and Lil' Evil's katana.
• Hulk Speak: She speaks almost entirely like this. It's not made clear why.
• Identity Amnesia: Does not remember her real name.
• Loss of Identity: When it struck her that she didn't know who she was, she suddenly suffered this. (Before it didn't even occur to her.)
• Malaproper:
  • "JAY-Z IS MY LOAD AND SAVOUR!!!" In a subversion, she conflates the words she gets wrong with their intended meaning. She really does seem to identify Jay-Z with Jesus and Santa with Satan.
  • In Loss of Identity immediately above, she says "Amoeba" when she means "Amnesia".
  • The fully-armored storm troopers are "Stomp Troopers".
  • Her name for Lil' E is "Lily", and for Seymour is "Seemor".
• Monochromatic Eyes: White eyes with no visible iris or pupil, unlike other demon girls who all have irises matching their main color.
• Morality Pet: Has some shades of this towards Seymour, incredibly. If nothing else, he has acted more decently when around her than at any other point in the comic. Their interactions aren't numerous yet, and Seymour's "gentlemanly behavior" might just be him feeling responsible for her (as he's responsible for her Cloudcuckoolander attitude though Monique, Slick, and the Devil are also responsible), but there's hope yet. Either that or he's at a loss when someone heeds his sermons only to run with a completely garbled version.
• No Name Given: For the first three years after her introduction. The name Pebbles comes from one strip, where Monique nicknames her Pebbles due to her orange hair. Tangerine was proposed by the fans to go along with the Theme Naming amongst the other succubi. In March 2014, her real name was finally revealed as Angie, a.k.a. Tange — possibly short for Tangerine.
• No Social Skills: Due to being bomfed several times.
• Nubile Savage: In attire, and owing to the lack of social skills, behavior. Though she does avert Exposed to the Elements.
• Obliviously Evil: Tangerine doesn't seem to bear ill will to anyone she doesn't perceive as attacking her or "Lily". Being an impulsive, childish, slightly "out of it" Pyromaniac is enough to occasionally make people run away screaming, though.
• Pyromaniac: Loves to make things go boom. Especially after she gets Seymour's shotgun.
• Running Gag: Her habit of stealing pieces of clothing from people she runs across is starting to shape up as this.
• Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: BOMF (and BKOW as of 8/15/11).
• Sticky Fingers: Has also stolen clothing from the characters whose wardrobe she liked.
• Sweet Tooth: She is never seen eating anything else than Froot Loops and various pastries and drinks sodas a lot.
• Tomboy: A sunday strip revealing a little of her backstory shows she was a tomboyish girl before she was forced into girly stuff.
• Tomboyish Name: She rejected "Angie" as a name for "Tange."

Absinthe

Absinthe (a.k.a. "Abby")

A Devil girl stripper brought in by the Devil to replace Fuchsia.

---

• Affably Evil/Nice Girl: So far we haven't seen her doing anything specifically evil. She even seems to un-ironically like nature shows.
• Affectionate Nickname: 'Nique calls her Abby, as do her enlightened drones
• Bewildering Punishment: See Dramatic Irony below.
• Bookworm: Seems taken with the feminist works that Trike Girl dropped off at the Manor.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: An entirely green color scheme, befitting her name.
• Corrupt the Cutie: Trike Girl's trying to subvert her like she did with Fuchsia. A subversion since she's trying to draw her away from The Devil. The Devil now seems intent on putting her through "Devil Girl Training."
• The Cutie: So far.
• Day in the Life: One Sunday strip. It reveals her name.
• The Ditz: She seems to be clueless about what she does on a daily basis.
• Dramatic Irony: Being unaware of Baby Blue's friendship with Fuchsia, she's blindsided by Baby Blue's behavior, repeatedly.
• Dumb Blonde: Designated as this during "Rad Fem".
• Girlish Pigtails: They make her look cute and sweet in direct contrast to Baby Blue.
• Gosh Darn It to Heck!: The strongest F-word she can think to pass D-man's security scanner is "Fudge".
• Heel Realization: Appears to have one at the end of the Day in the Life.
• The Ingenue: A devil ingenue. Picked off strip club, working for the Devil and the worst thought she can give to the detector is "bad manners".
• Interspecies Romance: With Monique.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Light to Blue's Dark.
• Minion with an F in Evil: Even considering Fuchsia's Heel–Face Turn, she still might be the most affable devil girl.
• Merciful Minion: The current trope image, which happens to be her very first mission.
• Morality Pet: She can't bring herself to part with the Zen-zapped Illuminati drones.
• Ms. Fanservice: Specifically picked out as such.
• Naïve Newcomer: She was just a stripper at the club, now she's a girl in The Devil's cortège. She even seems new in the whole teasing dudes and punishing damned souls thing.
• Nature Lover: When the drones send back nature pictures, she watches.
• Odd Friendship: Considering what she does, it seems a little strange how genuinely well she gets along with 'Nique.
• Official Couple: With Monique.
• Perky Female Minion: She's way out of place in the Devil's mansion, which is otherwise a rather dreary place to be.
• Pet the Dog: Toward the drones, which she happily adopts rather than destroy.
• Poke the Poodle: She finds it difficult to be bad, but since the Devil has a security scanner that requires passers by to think bad thoughts, she thinks things like "bad manners".
• Stripperiffic: When she's on the clock. Otherwise, she usually wears a sundress and a pair of sneakers. She seems a bit surprised that this is perpetually expected of her since when she finally goes up to her room in the Devil Mansion, she finds she has NO clothes that offer substantial coverage.
• Succubi and Incubi: As a succubus she's supposed to be tempting, but she's way to innocent to pull it off.
• Sucksessor: Blue does NOT like her.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl/Lady and Knight: She's developed this dynamic with 'Nique. Of course, she is the girly and protected one.

Lil' Evil

Lil' Evil / "Lily"

An (Ex) Satanist fundamentalist, and the Devil's son.

---

• Ascended Extra: Of all of the original cast, he's by far the most prominent in the story. If the storyline isn't about Monique or the Sisterhood, chances are it'll be about him and Tangerine. Ironic, considering how minute his role was in the comic's early days.
• Allergic to Love: Or says so. Still fails at not being cute in process. Angel-glitter too.
• All of the Other Reindeer: Lil' E was picked on for his demonic appearance as a child. The Devil was the only one to stand up for him.
• Amnesiac Dissonance: Drinking from Lethe produced quite a change.
• Amnesiacs are Innocent: Afterwards, he is rather childish, a great friend of Tangerine's, and quite baffled by his past behavior.
• The Antichrist: Implied for years before confirmation, but he's the Devil's son and heir. Now that the Devil has re-adopted him, this is the path he's being pushed towards.
• Anti-Anti-Christ: Lil E was too kind and gentle to live up to his father's expectations, so he was effectively disowned. It's heavily implied that his original characterization and obsession with impressing the Devil was his vain attempt to remedy this, but he reverted to his original personality when he lost his memories in the Lethe.
• Birthday Hater: It bring him horrible memories.
• Chiaroscuro: Often, whenever he contemplates his past.
• Character Development: After drinking from the Lethe, his prior characterization disappeared entirely. He's gone from working overtime to be evil to trying his hardest to be good.
• Despair Event Horizon: The Pity Party seems to have broke him every badly. Thanks God Tangerine went to rescue him.
• Evil Is Petty: His idea of being evil is flipping off God and taunting the souls suffering in hell.
• Evil Versus Evil: His target of choice is Seymour, who's generally as bad at being good as Lil' E at being evil. Also, he has no aversion to preying on his own kind.
• The Fundamentalist: For evil, or at least what he thinks is evil.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Jealous of Tangerine because she can BOMF people. Not as much as an amnesiac though.
• Half-Human Hybrid: He's the son of the Devil and a human witch named Lilith. Also the reason why he can't BOMF people. Although, she's apparently not actually a human.
• Harmful to Minors: Here's a tip, Satan: don't kill something in front of your kid. It tends to freak them out.
• Harmless Villain: With a few exceptions, he posts images of a certain pig flying on a toilet online, and occasionally gets into Karate battles with Seymour. Plus, angels find him adorable. If he falls so short of 'Nique...
• Identity Amnesia: Accidentally mind wiping himself with Lethe water and getting picked up by Tangerine may be his chance to get a life.
• Loony Fan: "Big D" is bewildered and quickly driven to Headdesk. And he will brag about being ignored. Dragon thinks it's an elegant prank.
• Loss of Identity: Drinking from the Lethe was rather traumatic.
• Number of the Beast: Note how his alarm is set 66 minutes past the hour.
• One-Winged Angel: Averted, though it was because those Jerkass devils beat him up and ripped a wing off his "angel hoodie." However, Pebbles did go Bam-Bam on them to unleash her Super Mode to kick them all over the place.
• Poke the Poodle: Lil' E wants to master the deadly sins, and had a lot of achievements... But mostly, in Sloth. He does Eeeeevil. Cuz he's evil! He contributes to the cultural demise of civilization.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: In one of his many attempts of copying the Devil, Little E got himself a cute three-headed pup, which may be or may not be Cerberus' offspring.
• Self-Harm: Attempted to cut his own horns off when he was severely bullied to due his half-demon status.
• Token Good Teammate: Ironically, now that he's back with the Devil. Unlike Absinthe, who is Obliviously Evil, and Baby Blue, who is a Punch-Clock Villain, Lil E is effectively the one actually good guy in the Devil's household.
• Troll: Time and again, happily goads Seymour, then welcomes him to the Dark Side. Or resorts to PM trolling. Not that Seymour was a really challenging target, of course.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Before bullying and his obsession with The Devil got the better of him.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: with Seymour, but less so after his amnesia.

Legion

Legion

The bouncer at the Devil Girl Strip Club.

---

• Bouncer: The gatekeeper of the Devil Girl Strip Club. Who he's keeping out is a mystery, though he seems to have something against half-demons.
• Dumb Muscle: He's got just enough brains to do his job.
• Fantastic Racism: Blocked Lil' E from entering the club because he's a "Halfling", although he's probably just following orders.
• Half-Breed Discrimination: See Fantastic Racism above.
• Punch-Clock Villain: He's pretty much just doing his job. Presumably he's still evil off the clock, but we have no indication of that.

Sapphire

Sapphire

A succubus working as a stripper in the devil girls strip club.

• Art Evolution: Compare the picture above with Sapphire here. Probably part of the changes made when this comic underwent its recent Cerebus Syndrome.
• Boyish Short Hair: It's apparently part of her appeal.
  • Spiky Hair
• Broken Bird: At least, Seymour has so diagnosed her. Whether accurately, time will tell.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Inverted with her and Seymour (who probably has a crush on her). See his entry for details.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Befitting her name, she's a much darker blue than Baby Blue.
• Deadpan Snarker: She's much more sardonic than the other devil girls. Everything she's said so far is snarky.
• Despair Event Horizon: Possibly considering her hints of being a Broken Bird. She sees men change for the worse every night and then being complete hypocrites every day and she's doing her job with little to no enthusiasm, which proves that she has crossed it a long time ago.
• Drowning My Sorrows: One flaming witches brew.
• Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: It's not entirely clear on which side she falls, since she only smokes on her off-time.
• Hot as Hell: She's incredibly enticing, being the most popular attraction at the Devil Girl Strip Club. Even Seymour can't resist.
• I Am What I Am: She can't see any way of being a better person because she's a devil girl, so why bother to try?
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Shows quiet interest in the Friend Zone.
• Implied Love Interest: Surprisingly, she's Seymour's.
• Jade-Colored Glasses:
  Monique: I'm happy.
  Sapphire: It'll pass.
• Ms. Fanservice/Fanservice Extra: Deconstructed; because of the misogynist men in-universe, she just can work as a stripper, even though she hates it, she's harassed by creepy paparazzi or fans of her and she's treated just like eye-candy.
• Only in It for the Money: Loves the money, hates the bunch of degenerates.
  • I Was Young and Needed the Money
  • All possibly subverted by way of Card-Carrying Villain. Not probable, but still.
• Pretty in Mink: In early appearances, she wears a mink coat.
• Ship Tease: Downplayed. Seymour is implied to have a crush on her.
• Smoking Is Cool: She's constantly smoking a cigarette, except when on the clock. Combined with her trenchcoat and demeanor, it's clearly meant to invoke this.
• Stripperiffic: On work. Out of the clock, she uses a long gabardine.
• Uptight Loves Wild: Somehow, she seems to have caught the eye of the conservative Seymour.

Milton

Milton

A little scientist demon in charge of Deviltech as well as the Devil's surveillance systems.

---

• Commonality Connection: With the Trike Girl, after she discovers her destroyed trike.
• Comically Missing the Point: "She knows my work! "She likes creepy guys!"
• I Did What I Had to Do: He had no other option that destroy the weaponized fembot. It's not like he enjoys destroying his own creations.
• Insult Backfire: He's really glad the Trike Girl knows of his work
• Mad Scientist: The requisite provider of evil technology to The Devil.
• Manchild: Enjoys testing his creations a LOT
• Never My Fault: When the Sisterhood transfers the memories of the assassin bot he self-destructed to the ones he had in reserve, he characterizes it as "tricking" them into thinking he blew them up. Though he does admit it was well played.
• Mook Promotion: He's the interim pimp in charge of the BOMF District after the regular guy was put out of commission by MMXIX.
• Oh, Crap!: After the weaponized fembot enters the reality zone.
• Poke the Poodle: To avenge his drone, he tried to remote control torture Jesus!.
• Punch-Clock Villain: He doesn't seem to be very evil outside of his job, just really, really creepy.
• Shorter Means Smarter: The shortest of the Devil's minions. Even shorter than Absinthe.
• Something Else Also Rises: His tie, just like Slick's.
• Sycophantic Servant: Kissing The Devil's ass may as well be his second job. He turns it up even more when Baby Blue is in charge, due to his obvious and somewhat creepy crush on her.
• Stalker with a Crush here. And by remote-controlled proxy, here.
• We Can Rebuild Him: His drone.
• Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: He's the guy responsible for all the Devil's stuff.
• You Killed My Baby: Towards Jesus for accidentally exploding his drone.

Vainglorious

Vainglorious

You shouldn't do that. Not without proper training.

A demon who may be looking to overthrone The Devil. He's also a growing artist, and quite vain about his art. He was the only known demon able to enter the Reality Zone for an appreciable amount of time, until Fuchsia finally pushed herself into it. It is eventually revealed that Aunt Kate is his mother, which also makes him a cousin to Xanthe.

---

• Big Damn Heroes: Saves 'Nique from a devil mic that was about to shoot a laser beam at her by whistle calling it.
• Camp Straight: Dresses in frilly shirts, leather pants and loves to be dramatic, flashy and fabulous.
• Can't Take Criticism: This one. Bring me his head.
• Deflector Shields: He can create a force field to protect himself while in the Reality Zone. His attempt of mentoring Fuchsia imply that he can teach other demons to do it too.
• Foil: To Satan. While Satan is a more serious minded Corrupt Corporate Executive, Vainglorious is a playful Jerkass artist who loves to troll people and a bit of a trickster.
• Horned Humanoid: His horns are longer and curvier than those of the demons. He keeps them trimmed to look more demonic, as they otherwise grow into antlers like Kate's.
• Mood-Swinger: He can be menacing and mysterious in a moment to later change to a goofy troll at the drop of a hat.
• Mysterious Stranger: Spoofed by God. "Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I so sexy? I'll never tell!"
• Not So Above It All: While a serious character with a mysterious plan, he can also turn on his goofy side.
• Portal Picture: His paintings can transport him into another dimension that may probably be his lair. It can also connect with all the paintings he has done, creating a vigilant network. He was even able to send a self-portrait into D-man's mansion.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: A silly artist who constantly mocks The Devil? Damned if that isn't God from the comic's early days.
• Tall, Dark, and Snarky: When God recognizes you as sexy yet you walk away from his mockery with a stone face, you're this.
• Troll: He likes to prank art critics and troll Fuchsia.
• Wild Card: He's been both a benevolent and a malevolent force depending on the strip, but his actual alignment is a complete mystery. All we know is that he's the Devil's enemy.

Demon Entourage

Demon Entourage

Vainglorious' Assistant and general all around toady.

---

• The Dragon: He seems to do most of the heavy lifting, functioning as both a man-servant and a security guard of sorts.
• Professional Butt-Kisser: At least half of his job is stroking Vainglorious' ego and dismissing poor reviews of his work.
• Took a Level in Badass: Thought he was just an elitist toady who lived vicariously through his boss? Watch as he runs down pigs and uses magically guided pens as throwing weapons!
• True Art Is Angsty: Believes that's what his boss is all about.
• Yes-Man: Lavishes praises on Vainglorious' art and gets him his coffee and donuts.

Bondage Guy

Bondage Guy

A male embodiment of the trope Bondage Is Bad. Dressed up in leather and a hood, he preaches the evil gospel of BDSM, patriarchy, male supremacism and porn — all rolled into one.

---

• Arch-Enemy: The members of the Sisterhood, natch. Also, MMXVII, for as long she was around. His dislike of her can be seen here, here and here.
• Bondage Is Bad: He seems to be a physical embodiment of this trope.
• Safe Word: Subverted, as he uses it only for street harassment.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: always dressed in leather pants and leather hood.
• He-Man Woman Hater: Muscular jerk preaching male supremacy.
• Sex Is Evil: He's portrayed in a very sexualized manner, as part of portraying him as evil. He's designed as being very attractive, although in a cold and heartless way.
• Would Hit a Girl: Aside from what he implies in 'Safeword', he straight-up tries to kill MMXVII.

Bondage & Domination

Bondage & Domination

A pair of female embodiments of the trope Bondage Is Bad.

---

• Bound and Gagged: This is what Bondage wants to do to Lady Liberty — "Put her in chains!"
• Evil Counterpart: To Lady Liberty, who they replace.
• Killed Off for Real: On December 14th, 2020, they fall out of the Sambot and are killed.
• Psycho Sidekick: To Uncle Sam — gifted to him by the devil himself, they are now doing all they can to corrupt him.
• Sex Is Evil: They are portrayed in a very sexualized manner, as part of portraying them as evil. They are designed as being very attractive, although in a cold and heartless way.

Sleaze

Sleaze

A demonic version of Slick created by a incorrectly cast BOMF.

---

• Evil Counterpart: To Slick, obviously.
  • Enemy Without: Turned into this after Slick stopped confronting him.
• Hidden Depths: He fancies himself as quite an accomplished writer. Slick disagrees.
• Invisible to Normals: Initialy, he was completely invisible to anyone except Slick. From the incident above onwards, he's turned full on into a Literal Split Personality.
• Made of Evil: Duh.
• Triangle Shades: Has these instead of Slick's more normal glasses.

Humans

Seymour

Seymour

A Christian fundamentalist.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: Even before he Took a Level in Jerkass, he still wasn't a favorite of God due to his obsessive fanboyishness. The strip that hints that God actually created Seymour fully formed and acting the way he is becomes either hilarious or His Moral Event Horizon by proxy when taken into light the things Seymour does because of said obsession.
• All Hail the Great God Mickey!: Has recently started mixing his worship of Jesus with that of Voltron. Whether he thinks Voltron is a saint or an actual avatar of Jesus isn't entirely clear.
• Ambiguously Human: He actually is human but you'd think otherwise considering how different he looks in comparison to the other humans in the comic.
• Blithe Spirit: Post character evolution. He's gone from trying to spread his faith through self-righteous sermons to trying to infect the rest of the world with his enthusiasm through song and dance. It's largely ineffective, but dammit, he's trying.
• Boisterous Weakling/Minor Injury Overreaction: Once challenged Criminy to a fight, very enthusiastically. Criminy lands a very soft punch, and he runs away crying.
• Bullying a Dragon: Crosses into Too Dumb to Live territory. To Fuchsia. He also pisses off Criminy, the guy who dug into Hell to be with his girlfriend. Before that, he literally pokes the Dragon's nose.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Inverted with him and Sapphire. Seymour is a Blithe Spirit who (post-Character Development) joyfully wants to help others while Sapphire is The Cynic who resents her job but desperately needs the money.
• Character Development: We're starting to see him wrestle with his sexuality and sense of right and wrong.
• Characterization Marches On: Do you remember when being a closeted homoseuxal wasn't his defining characteristic? Or, to speak of, when, initially, for a long time there was no indication for Seymour being gay at all?
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Sort of. After his baptizing of Tangerine turns her into the Ax-Crazy Cloudcuckoolander we know, he's terrified that he'll be responsible for the damage she causes.
• Egomaniac Hunter: In a manner of speaking. His hunting gear and shotgun is his second most worn outfit, and he is an egomaniac, but he's not egomaniacal about his hunting skills in particular.
• Elephant in the Room: No one, not even Seymour himself, ever seems to notice that he looks...unique, even in a world where humanoid pigs and devils are common citizens.
• Fantastic Racism: Towards Fuchsia, who has been actively trying to change her ways, making it even more repulsive. Though later in his Character Development he softens toward her considerably. He often has admiring things to say about her painting skill in particular. Though this might just be because he is trying to butter her up so she can paint things for him (which after his previous behavior toward her she is not inclined to do.)
• Fate Worse than Death: An epically hilarious one in Bomf 4. Turned into the thing he hates as an ironic reflection of his true nature.
• Flanderization: He actually had a few decent moments at the beginning, and was no worse than anyone else, but while everyone else has gotten Character Development and Lighter and Softer treatment, he became more and more intolerant and intolerable in his fervor... and then finally learned something and has since begun to be less Flanderized, though now you rarely see a strip that focuses on Seymour that doesn't involve his homosexual lust for Jesus, be it about his denial of his homosexual lust or just straight up making Sexy Jesus fanfiction.
• First Church of Mecha: He's integrated Voltron into his theology. It leads to some...interesting sermons (and a truly epic color page).
• Friendly Enemy: With Lil' Evil. He himself is unsure if they are this or Vitriolic Best Buds.
• The Fundamentalist: He tries to be, but he acts more of a Christianity fanboy, spending more time collecting Christian merchandise and squaring off with the Devil and Lil' Evil than actually putting his faith into practice. He even nearly sold his soul for Jesus fan fiction.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: He can't Christian today.
• Guilty Pleasures: Jesus Slash Fiction.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: Does this to Fuchsia on multiple occasions, most prominently in Bad Behavior. This trope (which makes him a hypocrite) is one of the main reasons he's so hated by the fandom.
• Heel–Face Turn: Surprisingly, he's one of the few characters to have become less of a jerk Post-Sisterhood. He's still just as conservative as ever, but he's dedicated much more of his time to actually helping people. Naturally, the Devil also takes him far more seriously now. He's also been preaching against the Johns in the BOMF district which, given the strip's moral alignment, puts him firmly on the side of good.
• Hero with an F in Good: Subverted. Much of the time his attempts to do good are defeated by his near-villainous level of sanctimoniousness, but he's actually decent at being good when he puts his mind to it. Christmas in particular seems to bring out the best of him, since he shelves his usual materialism and is always seen collecting money for charity.
• Heteronormative Crusader: Almost takes a shotgun to an incredibly flamboyant gay couple. The scene is now the page picture.
• Holier Than Thou: Goes into Knight Templar territory on this one.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's actually a very nice guy and is quite empathetic. However that's buried very, very deep under a layer of vicious self-righteousness and obsession with God and Jesus. Character Development is helping the heart of gold to emerge more often, though.
• Kick the Dog: His book burning and the Bad Behavior series.
• Kissing Under Cupid's Arrow: "I feel so sensual"
  • Distracted by My Own Sexy: "Everything looks so erotic, including me! I'm sexy."
  • Genderbender example: My humps.
  • Cuddle Bug: Spreading God's love. After all, Squig asks it.
  • Innocent Innuendo: He's supposed to be a Love Freak, but some of the things he says and does come off as this.
• Innocently Insensitive: He means well, but his narrow view of the world often crosses a line or two. Fortunately for him, no one around him takes him seriously enough to mind all that much.
• Knight Templar: His obsessive campaign to rid the world of sin oftentimes crosses into straight up villainy, such as when he bullies Fuchsia into running away to hell.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Turned into a demon after an unprovoked attack on Fuchsia.
• Light Is Not Good: It's not really bad, per se either. But it's definitely not good.
• Loony Fan: Hilariously enough, he fails to recognize the real thing in person. Despite having bought a metric fuckton of Jesus merchandise. MIGHT be a Metaphor for his obsession with the rule of his religion, and not the spirit of it. Even "Fellowship of the Lord" is quick to keep their distance.
• Love Freak: After getting shot by Cupid's arrow.
• Morality Pet: Lil' E and Tangerine are the only characters he treats with kindness on a pretty consistent basis. He also seems to have genuine compassion for Sapphire, which may or may not be the result of a crush.
• No Name Given: "Seymour" was the name Li'l E gave to an animal he was going to torture as a representation of this guy. It had not been previously shown that he had a name.
• Non-Standard Character Design: It's interesting to note that, although he is human, God accidentally created him to look like one of his hand puppets, which might explain why he looks so different from the other human characters.
• Pet the Dog: He has hismoments.
• Pure Is Not Good: Is convinced that he is almost completely without sin, and truly has done little that could be considered evil in the usual sense. Which just makes all the times he acts Holier Than Thou that much more despicable, knowing he could be good but is too much "against evil" to truly be good.
• Rule-Abiding Rebel: He fits the character-type, being a conservative, straight-laced Christian who rebels against the (mostly Devil-owned) authorities. Unlike most examples of this trope, he actually is trying to cause trouble and the authorities do consider him a credible threat.
• Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny: Has moments like this, usually as a result of being around Nique or Baby Blue for too long. And especially after getting shot by Cupid, it may lean towards the other way around towards his idol.
• Ship Tease: He's one of the men who enjoys Sapphire's performances but he still respects and treats her kindly.
• Stay in the Kitchen: So stuck in the gender roles that one can say he's the embodiment of the Patriarchy's train of thoughts.
• Terrible Artist: He can't even draw Jesus.
• Took a Level in Badass: Very briefly in a short arc where he becomes "Manly Seymour," complete with a badass costume change. Once he finishes fighting Androgynique, he goes back to his regular wimpy self.
• Took A Level In Jerk Ass: In Bad Behavior. Crosses with Took a Level in Dumbass, since he's still talking trash after Fuchsia is clearly pissed. Remember kids, succubi with fire for hair are best left alone.
• Took a Level in Kindness: After getting shot by Cupid. It seems to have stuck. While he still preaches the Gospel, most recently that of that of Jesus/Voltron he's not nearly as aggressive or nasty about it. If not, he's gotten a lot more weirder in his thoughts.
• Uptight Loves Wild: He's still a bit conservative, even after undergoing Character Development but is implied to be attracted to Sapphire, one of the stripper succubi.
• Wild Card: He really does not all that well into the moral alignment of the comic post-Sisterhood. He's pursuing his own agenda for the most part, which ranges from his relatively innocuous Activist-Fundamentalist Antics to actually being a Spanner in the Works for the Devil. The Devil founding a church of his own might be enough to get his attention, though.
• Windmill Crusader: Takes his struggle against the Devil and his minions seriously. So seriously, he forgets not all of them are bad, or that he isn't a threat to them, in the slightest. The Devil doesn't pay attention, unless there's an easy opportunity to torment him.

The Cartoonist

The Cartoonist

Mostly keeps to himself. The owner of Pooch and Percy.

---

• Author Avatar: Originally an anonymous background character simply assumed to be the author, he has recently put himself in the spotlight.
• Blatant Lies: Posing as the "Existential Crisis Hotline" may or may not be one. But replying "That's Ridiculous", having just drawn him with Sleaze's reflection behind him, qualifies as a Blatant Lie.
• Deal with the Devil: Baby Blue has to remind him of his contract: Fame, fortune and fan girls in return for drawing what Mr. D tells him to draw.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: His reaction when reviewing how much misogyny, racism, sexism, etc; he used to draw.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Told Mr. D to piss off and got back the right to draw what he wants.
• Hikkikomori: Barely goes out of his house. This and a empty fridge aren't the best combination.
• Immortality: Tries to get it, but Death cuts him off.
• Laser-Guided Karma: He made God create Seymour to be his worshipper, who turned to be a Loony Fan. Moments later, the cartoonist gets his own Loony Fan.
• Opaque Lenses: Usually, although a couple of strips show us his eyes.
• Reclusive Artist: He spends his days holed up in his house drawing cartoons, leaving only to give his dog a walk.
• Self Deprecating Humour: Obviously. "He's a perv. I can tell." "Hello, my name is 'girl'". "Pure genius!" "Cultural Relevance: Low

Xanthe Justice

Xanthe Justice (Named here.)

A short, shades-wearing arch-feminist who rides a Big Wheel tricycle.

---

• Action Girl: She's demonstrated more competence fighting Satan than just about any other character.
• Arch-Enemy: To the Devil, believe it or not.
• Artistic Licence – Biology: She clearly does not understand how sperm cells work. "Rubbing one out" doesn't determine if sperm cells die, simply where they will die. It's possible that she was just making a point. Or it may just because she's a little kid.
• Broken Bird/Despair Event Horizon: Apparently the whole debacle with Sleaze has made her give up on seeking male allies...
• The Bully: She definitely comes off like this. She cruises around on a bike powered by tears on a campaign to intimidate and browbeat anyone engaged in what she perceives to be sexist behavior. Oddly enough, God probably gets it the worst.
• Celibate Hero: "I'm already in love... with Justice!"
• Close-Call Haircut: Some drones cut hair out of her ponytail with Frickin' Laser Beams.
• The Corrupter: Given her bad Double Standard habits, YMMV if it's for the better or worse. Also the reason Fuchsia finally left the Devil for good.
  • And later tried to corrupt the Devil Girl who replaced her.
• Creepy Child: An early version.
• Crossover: Takes a certain famous cartoon boy to task for his treatment of Susie Derkins.
• Demoted to Extra: Ironically enough, after being a major Spotlight-Stealing Squad in the 2010s, she ended up losing most of her focus in the 2020s as the strip moved away from feminism into more conservative viewpoints. In the 2020s strips, she largely only makes occasional apperances to complain about sex workers and trans people.
• Destined Bystander: The Daddy's Little Girl plot thread featured the trike feminists in 2007.
• Disproportionate Retribution: After MMXII steals her bike, it is implied by the Coffee Shop Lady that if Xanthe managed to find him, things would get messy.
• Distaff Counterpart: To Slick and Seymour, it would seem.
• Does Not Like Men: Most of the time it seems like it. She even defines happiness as life without men.
• Double Standard: Standing up for women in a society that is bent on exploiting women is a fine attitude. However the fact that she's not only completely indifferent to male suffering, but runs her bike on it suggests that she's less interested in removing the double standard than reversing who's in charge.
• Emotion Eater: Her motorcycle runs off of "dudebro tears."
• Failed a Spot Check: Cannot see the difference between Slick and Slick's dark side. This may be part of the reason for her intense dislike of him.
• Flat Character: Initially, her only defining trait was radical feminism. She's later got a bit more development. Upon actually encountering a demon outside of Satan, (Milton to be exact), offering to fix her trike, she somewhat coldly but politely states no thanks. She also seems to be taking Slick's attempts to change more seriously later on, even though sometimes her advice confuses him especially the time she referenced Sleaze, who he doesn't seem to know about. She also has the subplot of being an incredibly incompetent witch, giving her both a personality independent of the Sisterhood and a humanizing flaw.
• Heroic BSoD: Went into one for a bit when she thought there were no male allies to feminism. Nana helped her out of it.
• Hero Stole My Bike: MMXII steals her trike to get away from Death, and then accidentally sets off the self-destruct sequence.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: While she is a radical feminist who looks down on cis men, Xanthe isn't completely devoid of empathy towards them. When Slick shows up with an attempt at a feminist-and-LGBT-friendly erotic screenplay, she actually read some of it and even gives helpful criticism that led Slick to a realization. Very different from when all she could manage to tell him was "look within" and confuse him. She also saves God from an emotional breakdown when she sees that his sadness is costing innocent human lives. And this is right after using God's "dudebro tears" to power her bike. This kindness however, does not apply to sex-workers and transpeople unfortunately...
• I Just Want to Be Loved: If "One shade of gray" is to be believed, she just wants more understanding men, who could behave towards women with respect instead of seeing them as just mere sex slaves. Taking into account the tone of the word "pestered" and the content of her actions, "understanding" could go so far as to really mean "deferential" or "henpecked" before she actually sees it.
• Inept Mage: Tries to learn magic to fight the Patriarchy, but her attempt to remove "wifebeaters" only destroys all her tank tops.
• Jerkass: Much like Seymour, many fans feel that she forces her fanatical views down people's throats and she shows zero empathy for those she perceives as "tools of the patriarchy". Despite this, the comic likes to portray her actions as being in the right.
• Knight Templar: Her feminist views sometimes reach this level. E.g., her pov on male masturbation. This may have been a joke at the expense of the pro-life movement, but given how she's usually portrayed in the comic it's not very clear.
• Madonna-Whore Complex: Defied rather amusingly in this this comic in favor of her branch of radical feminism.
• Meaningful Name: "Xanthe" is Greek for "Blonde-haired". Also is the name of one of the Amazons.
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Feminist senses...tingling!
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: Her trike's ability to create an energy shield and transform into a spaceship had no hints of ever existing.
• The Paragon: She told Fuchsia she was her own person and didn't belong to anybody. This encouragement was what make Fuchsia leave D-man's mansion for good.
• Plot Tumor: Since her introduction, the Sisterhood plotline has dominated the strip. Lampshaded by Slick.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: Beyond her general distaste for cis males, definition of "patriarchal ass" unfortunately includes sex workers, transpeoples and other groups who don't fall in line with her SWTERF beliefs. This became a lot worse in the 2020s strips, where she was reduced to nothing but complaining about these groups.
• The Quiet One: Rarely speaks.
• Shout-Out: To The Matrix. She's meant to resemble both Trinity and Morpheus.
• Soapbox Sadie: Though her style is to to ride up, make a few witty statements, then ride off.
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Starting around October of 2011, a very large amount of strips focus on her and the effects of her actions.
• To Hell and Back: D-man tried to make her fall into a flaming river of damned souls. She used her new trike to fly away.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Pumpkin Spice Lattes. To the point where she doesn't notice the fembot stealing one of the sisterhood's bikes because she was so distracted by drinking one.

Clio Merembe

Clio Merembe

A bicycle riding black feminist girl, who was named here.

---

• Action Girl: She's pretty handy with a bo-staff

• Chainsaw Good: Use it to cut stripper poles down.
• Cool Bike: Badass tricycle, actually. It flies, generates forcefields, and more.
• Cool Shades: Which she never takes off.
• The Corrupter: Trigged. She hacked the Dudebro Factory system to wake up men and incite them to fight back their Brainwash.
• Hollywood Hacking: Averted. Her hacking is more or less believable, apart from DevilTech's absolute idiocy in terms of "security".
• The Leader: Some theories say she's the leader of the feminist girls.
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: She has been taking more central focus like the rest of feminist girls.
• Three Laws-Compliant: Defied when he/she (gender is unknown at this time) hacked a bunch of fembots, causing them to attack the staff at the factory. (Violates 1st law). The scene is pretty shocking.

Tess

Tess

The machine expert of the Sisterhood.

---

• Gadgeteer Genius: Built Xanthe's bike which can fly and comes with a forcefield.
• Goggles Do Something Unusual: Her goggles may be her pair of patriarchy blockers.
• No Name Given: Until 25/01/13 when she was canonly named Tess.
• The Quiet One: In contrast to Xanthe, Clio and Violet.

• Wrench Wench: The machinery expert of the Sisterhood.

The Fan Girl

Miko/The Fan Girl

A young fan of "It Girl" Monique

---

• Fangirl: Of Monique. She even moderates her fansite.
• Hero-Worshipper: She starts off this way, but her adoration of Monique becomes more realistic as the two start to spend time together.
• I Just Want to Be Special: She wants to be idolized like Monique, but without the negative attention.
• I'm Your Biggest Fan: Says this word for word to Monique when the first meet.
• Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Looks just like Monique, only fun sized.
• No Name Given: Initially. Her name was revealed to be Miko secondhandedly much, much later than her initial appearance.
• Squee: Anytime Monique does something, as seen in 2019-03-14.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: 'Nique takes down all of her photos and burns her old poems. Fan Girl put them on Youtube.
• Wrench Wench: To prevent her beloved It-Girl be covered on rotten veggies.
• Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: She's patterned herself after 'Nique during her Attention Whore phase. 'Nique is not pleased.

Violet

Violet

A girl first seen being trained by Nana. Also seen with the rest of the Sisterhood.

---

• Cool Helmet: That she almost always wears.
• Cool Shades: Standard issue for the Sisterhood.
• Cute Bruiser: Of all of the members of the Sisterhood, she's the one seen getting the most physical.
• Fantasy Helmet Enforcement: Most likely, Nana won't let her out of the house without it.
• Girlish Pigtails: Befitting the youngest of her group.
• Goggles Do Nothing: Apparently, but...
  • Goggles Do Something Unusual: Her goggles may be her pair of patriarchy blockers.
• Knight Templar: Has said "Kill All Men" on multiple occasions.
• Little Miss Badass: Though she's still in training, the youngest sister already can take down D-man's spy drones.
• Martial Arts Staff: She's very skilled with a bo-staff. Apparently, she trains with it daily.
• Straw Feminist: While Xanthe preaches about equality between males and females and the socially contruscted gender system, Violet simply wants all male roles to be taken by women and even calls God a dudebro.
  "Kill all men!"
• Took a Level in Badass: She has just acquired the Nyo-bo, the Monkey King's staff.

Lilith

Lilith

Lil'E's missing mother.

---

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Apparently what attracted her to Satan.
• After-Action Patch-Up: Patched The Devil's wing after he left a forbidden apple at her door.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With The Devil in their youth.
• Corrupt the Cutie: Before meeting The Devil, Lilith was ok with her life in Paradise. He kept up insisting her to eat the forbidden fruit.
• Feminine Women Can Cook: Very feminine and apparently an excellent cook, if her breakfast for Lil'E is any indication.
• Glamorous Single Mother: She's seen taking good care of her son on her own. When she was exiled from the town, she tried to see Mr. D for help, but he obviously had moved on with his life.
• Good Parents: She was a loving and ideal mother to Lil'E, something he couldn't always appreciate.
• Hidden Depths: Which she uses to terrify a lynch mob.
• Hot Witch: Possibly. The good kind, though.
• Incurable Cough of Death: A strip shows her coughing, setting up another possible reason.
• Interspecies Romance: With the Devil.
• The Lost Lenore: We only see her in flashbacks so far, not to mention the look on the Devil's face as he looks at photographs of her.
• Mama Bear: See Silk Hiding Steel below.
• Missing Mom: Played with. Her son ran away (or so it seems) and she's only showed on flashbacks, so her current location is unknown.
• Light Is Good: Unlike her lover, she doesn't seem to have an evil bone in her body.
• Proper Lady: Though how proper remains to be seen, particularly if she is indeed based on the mythological Lilith.
• Silk Hiding Steel: A Proper Lady and loving mother who will nonetheless stand up to the Devil if he frightens her child. That takes ovaries of steel. Possibly literally. And here doesn't take kindly to people threatening her child or coming at her with a fiery lynch mob either.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: In her youth. At some point, they faded to gray.
• Taken for Granite: What she does to a pair of torch wielding guys here.

• Hidden Badass: In addition to her possible fighting skills, she's apparently a very powerful witch.

• Miniature Senior Citizens: She's not much taller than Xanthe.
• Mundane Made Awesome: ...And hoist the flag!! Also, she makes knitting look good.
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Nana sense...tingling!
• No Name Given: We only know her as "Nana".
• Pet the Dog: Slick is trying to change for the best (again). He deserves a cookie!
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She appears to be the head of the Sisterhood (or at least trained the other members) but has none of the traits that make Xanthe and the others so polarizing. She even rewards Slick.
• Team Mom: To the whole Sisterhood and even to other characters, like Fuchsia.
  • Apron Matron: As she's very able to kick ass if she's pushed enough.
• Textile Work Is Feminine: She knits.

• It Amused Me: Kissed his new boyfriend just to mess Seymour up.

• Magical Queer: Figurative and literally.
• No Name Given: until his name was revealed in one strip.

Barack Star

Barack Star

---

• Badass Longcoat: He's worn two. One is a garish, shiny gold trenchcoat and the other a more low-key solid black.
• Cool Shades: To complete the rockstar aesthetic, of course.
• Expy: Of Barack Obama.
• Magical Negro: In a way. He's the current president, so his job is helping Uncle Sam.
• Sharp-Dressed Man: Wears a suit underneath that Badass Longcoat.
• Smoking Is Cool: Though he was showed smoking in his first appearance but no one can deny he looked so cool.
• Token Minority: The only black character with a modicum of importance. Or at least he was before the Sisterhood was introduced.

Theo

Theo

A young fan of the Cartoonist.

---

• Crosses the Line Twice: He tries for this in his attempts to imitate his idol's earlier "edgy" comedy style. It bothers the hell out of the Cartoonist and causes some arguments with Miko.
• Hero-Worshipper: Much to the Cartoonist's consternation, since he doesn't seem to think much of his older works.
• I'm Your Biggest Fan: Though In-Universe, he seems to be the only fan.
• Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Not just looks kinda like the cartoonist, he also wants to be a cartoonist himself and wants to be just like his hero.
• Loony Fan: He likes to blindly imitate his hero's cartooning, which he does by making offensive and politically incorrect strips that make the Cartoonist cringe.
• Odd Friendship: With the Fangirl. He's a cartoonist's aspirant who likes read and draw misogynist cartoons. She's a sisterhood's protegee who dislikes misogyny. They're friends anyway.
• Selective Obliviousness: About the bad side of pimping.
• Spear Counterpart: Shares with the Fangirl the role of being a younger worshiper to their respective idols and to makes them realize their past bad ways.
• Spiky Hair: That sticks straight up.
• Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: He reminds the author of the shameful days back when he was a lot more politically incorrect.

The Fifth Sister

The Fifth Sister

• Ambiguously Brown: From the way she's drawn, she's clearly not white. But that's about the only thing that is clear.
• Friend to All Living Things: Befriends the Dragon who, despite his general amicability, doesn't seem to have many friends.
• The Medic: She can even nurse The Dragon back to health. From a wound he's had for more than a year.
• Out of Focus: Even thought she is part of the Spotlight-Stealing Squad of this comic, she has made the least appearances out of all of them. To the point where she is the only one not named yet.
• Token Good Teammate: Even the Sisterhood's detractors consider her this.

Amber

Amber

A young woman who went on a date with Criminy early in the strip's run (in 2002). She reappears in 2012, as a consequence of Blue's search for dirt on Criminy.

---

• Ascended Extra: She appeared once before on a date with Criminy only to reappear a decade later in later arcs.
• 555: When she approached Criminy out of the blue and asked him to call her, her number was 555-1234.
• Fluffy Tamer: She manages to pacify Criminy's devil books, having experience with them from work.
• Love Hurts: She waited for Criminy to call her back after the date but he never did.
• Meaningful Name: Female Demons have names that reflect their colors, and normally a color name means that he/she is a demon of that color. This is probably averted here, because although Amber is a color, it's also a common girls' name. Also, her initial appearance appeared well before the naming practice began.

Aunt Kate

Aunt Kate, Hekate

Nana's sister, and a stern witch. She's the proprietess of the Witches Inn. She's also the mother of Vainglorious.

---

• The Ace: To date, she's the only person who has been able to physically harm God. She also effortlessly defeats any of Satan's minions that come her way.
• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Tall, pale, black-haired and much colder than Nana.
• Always Someone Better: She's a far superior witch to Nana, mostly because she spends more time practicing.
• The Bully: She seems to have been this way in witch school, and her favorite target was Lilith. But it was mostly harmless pranks.
• Dark Is Not Evil: She has a very sinister appearance, but she's a very benevolent witch.
• Detect Evil: She can sense the presence of Satan's surveillance technology.
• Everyone Went to School Together: She went to Witch Academy with Nana and Lil E's mother.
• First-Name Basis: With Death, apparently. He's the only one who calls her "Hekate", while she, in turn, calls him by his name: Thanatos.
• Good Is Not Nice: She may be cold, harsh, and somewhat arrogant, but she's hardly a bad person.
• Goth Girls Know Magic: She has this motif, in direct contrast with her more Witch Classic sister
• Hell Hotel: Subverted. Witches Inn is a very creepy place, filled to the hilt with occult paraphernalia and horror movie clichés. But it's actually a very pleasant place and now serves as a sanctuary for rogue fembots.
• Horned Humanoid: She has a pair of antlers. Apparently, she's had them since she was a kid.
• Noodle Incident: She has some sort of bad blood with DevilTech, but specifics have yet to be revealed.
• Not in This for Your Revolution: She's Satan's enemy, but she doesn't care about the Patriarchy. Her beef with him appears to be personal.
• Not So Above It All She’s not above grabbing an axe and singing into it, along with the rogue Fembots’ musical accompaniment.

Trixie

Trixie

A young woman prostitute, who befriends Xanthe. After escaping the red-light district she's started living in a cave Fuchsia made.

---

Tex and his wife

Tex and his wife

A redneck couple who adopt a baby new years as their daughter.

---

• Characterization Marches On: This happens to Tex thanks to shifts in the strip's political ideology. When he is first introduced, he is seemingly brainwashed into storming the Capitol, and he seems fairly ashamed of it once he gets his mind back. Later strips seem to imply that he chose to do it and holds no regrets.
• Cow Boy: Or Cowgirl in the case of Tex's wife. She has the general look and a tomboyish personality that is usual for the trope.
• Dumb Muscle: Tex is rather childish and tends to fall for conspiracy theories rather easily with his wife implying that he's not very book-smart. He is also extremely well-built and can handle himself in a fight just fine.
• No Name Given: As of this writing the wife has yet to be referred to with a proper name, being called either wife or cowgirl in the comic description.
• Only Sane Man: Tex is meant to be this with his conservative country views being highlighted as a positive to contrast the woke political nightmare that is the modern world. To many, he comes across as rather small-minded and intolerant.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's more levelheaded and charitable than his hot-tempered, cynical friend Jed.
• Women Are Wiser: The narrative generally treats Tex's wife as being more grounded and reasonable than him.

Other Supernatural Beings

Ezekiel and Ariel

Ezekiel and Ariel

An inseparable pair of angels.

---

• Battle Couple: When they annoy the Devil or redeem someone.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: Lil' Evil seems stunned by how beautiful they are.
• Chekhov's Gun: Their "glitter points" apparently have the power to protect the pure of heart from minor demons and can temporally remove demonic corruption from the Devil's minions (they still look like demons, but they lose the personality).
• Everything's Better with Sparkles: Yes, it is.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Being angels they are pure, chaste, innocent and sweet.
• Holier Than Thou: Not to the extent of Seymour, but they sometimes come across as infuriatingly snobbish, although they're legitimately trying to help people and have good intentions. Also, unlike Seymour, they are pretty nice to Fuchsia and other demonic characters. As long as you're trying to do good, they're on your side.
• Holy Halo: Standard attire.
• Informed Attractiveness: In the cartoony style, hard to tell.
• Karmic Trickster: Given that the only guy they prank is Satan, it's pretty clear they are giving him his just deserts, especially when he hunts them.
• Knocking on Heathens' Door: Do this or a lesser degree of evangelizing, depending on whether these two do it regularly as the "Fellowship of the Lord" or just to prank Big D.
• Light Is Good: Still irritating, obnoxious and sanctimonious though.
• Love Redeems: They aren't an example of it themselves, but they definitely believe in it if this strip is any indication.
• Pet the Dog: They tell Lil'E that his mother would be pleased because he is not harmed by their Glitter points, and that his father is watching over him (literally).
• The Prankster: Ariel and Zeke "the Wascally Angels" just love to mess with D in any way they can, from slapstick pranks to making him facepalm to evangelizing to him with straight faces to distracting him from clients and subverting his "employees".
• Protective Charm: Their glitter appears to be a one-use charm.
• Put on a Bus: Have basically disappeared after Xanthe took prominence. They've returned, but are much less prominent.
• Sickeningly Sweethearts: Their relationship resembles that of the Goofy Gophers, only romantic.
• Secret-Keeper: They know full well who Lil'E is related to, both his mother and father.

The Zombie

The Zombie

The zombie of one (or more) of the damned souls who loved Fuchsia's stories. Deprived of these after her Heel–Face Turn, he's now escaped to look for her.

---

• Dark Is Not Evil: He's a hellspawn given life through arcane means, but is a Gentle Giant who loves to be read stories.
• Fantastic Racism: The standard response to his presence is to run him out of town.
• Implied Love Interest: He seems to have a crush on Foosha, or he just loves her storytelling.
• Manchild: All he wants is a story to ease the pain of eternal damnation.
• No Name Given: All things equal, he probably doesn't actually have one.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Never have they been cuter or woobier.
• A Shared Suffering: Post-Lethe Lil'E told him a history about how everybody dislike him. The Zombie took it as a history about himself.
• Undeathly Pallor: He's completely pure white, unlike other humans who are given a peach tint.
• Zombie Apocalypse: Subverted to all hell. Figuratively speaking.

Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty

Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty

Not the happiest family, at least these days. Uncle Sam is theoretically well-meaning, but flinchy and easily misguided. Most definitely not depressed. Also, get off his lawn.

---

• Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Defied. After Liberty leaves him, a heartbroken Sam refuses to continue indulging his "porn" habit because it's why she left him.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: Liberty has light green skin, making her look like her statue.
• Amnesiac Hero: After being killed off by MMXVIII using Death's sniper rifle, remade into a "Johnbie", a demented zombie living in Hell, is dusted by MMXIX. MMXX turns him into an amnesiac child, cheerful but guillible and a pawn in the hands of Devil Corp. This times however he's trying to rediscover himself, which actually does, with the dying MMXXI returning him to be a Johnbie, clinging on the last shred of his ego to help her and the heroes defying the "woke dystopia" America had become while he was amnesiac.
• Amnesiac Lover: After being resurrected as gentle, optimistic child from MMXX, Uncle Sam is still attracted to Lady Liberty, this time in a platonic, chaste way and tied to the embodiement of Freedom itself. Lady Liberty tries to teach Kid!Sam about Freedom, unwillingly goading him to his last sacrifice.
• Allegorical Character: Sam often times used to represent the author's views on America's flaws, which include racism, hypocrisy, classism, interventionism, authoritarianism, commercialism, and materialism. Liberty on the other hand represents the status of liberty in the country, while also being represented as a voice for the American people especially the marginalized.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Of America.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Sam gets brainwashed by the Patriarchy some time after Liberty left him.
• Characterization Marches On: In the pre-Sisterhood days, Liberty was sometimes depicted as the type 2 Eagleland, who at one time participated in an allegorical stand in for the decimation of the Native Americans. In the post-Sisterhood present, she is depicted as the embodiment of type one and is now seen always objecting to Sam's questionable actions.
• Cool Crown: Liberty, just like the statue of her namesake.
• The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Uncle Sam used to be an idealist with dreams of making USA a beacon of freedom. But was tempted by the devil into learning the Corporate Side of the Force and changed a lot. While he still had good intentions, his actions caused Liberty to dump him, which caused a major depression, and after seeing the state of his country he was willing to change, but D-man brought him "replacements" for Liberty to get him back on track.
• Eagleland:
  • Uncle Sam is a Type 2, representing the negative aspects of America: imperialism, commercialism, racism, misogyny, class conflict, etc. He is almost a mixed type, due to clearly wanting to be better than he is, but he has never made good on any attempts to reform.
  • Liberty like Sam used to be depicted as the mixed type, with some trappings of Type 2. However, when the Sisterhood took over the comic Liberty changed to type 1, and is now depicted as always standing up for the rights of her people and critical Sam's (as a stand in for America) bad attributes.
• Exiled to the Couch: Uncle Sam has been sleeping on the couch more and more this days.
• Glory Days: They remember, and have nostalgia.
• Gold Digger: Sam accussed Liberty of being one for not believing that she is sticking around with him out of geniune love but for the good life his imperialistic life style gives her. While it began with porn, it was his doubts on her that were the last straw for her to leave him.
• Happily Married: Subverted, they were a relatively normal family, with ups and downs, but recently they started to have serious problems. Things looked to be on the mend,but it ultimately comes to nothing.
• High-School Sweethearts: They have been together since they were children.
• Housewife: Liberty. But being wife of Uncle Sam has give her a core of steel.
• It's All About Me: Uncle Sam has empathy issues.
• I'm a Man; I Can't Help It: Uncle Sam. He couldn't stay just one night without some, which was the beginning of his relationship's troubles. When Liberty tried to talk to him about it, he use the "I'm a man and I have my freedom!" excuse.
• Killed Off for Real: Uncle Sam is killed by MMXVIII using Death's sniper rifle. He lives on in hell as a zombie, but is dusted by MMXIX.
  • Again MMXX resurrects him as an amnesiac child, who ends up giving up his life and returning to his zombiefied status to help a dying MMXXI and Slick defy the woke dystopia that America had become during his death and rebirth.
• Morality Chain: Liberty was the only good influence in Sam's life, and he took a turn downright after she left him. While at first he caused mayhem unintentionally and out of depression, without her he's easy target of D-man's manipulation.
• Wearing a Flag on Your Head: As is standard for any portrayal of Uncle Sam
• No Accounting for Taste: Even with a shot of love, Sam And Liberty's marriage is getting more and more troubled. Sam hasn't stop with the porn but now, he wants Liberty to try porn sex without considering that sometimes porn can be unrealistic, claiming it can make them a stronger nation and it's "liberating" and excuse his low preferences on porn with searching what women want. Liberty of course feels uncomfortable and creeped out about it.
• Obliviously Evil: "I was only... Freedom!" Okay, now he is depressed.
• A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Uncle Sam was a pupil of Jesus before he learned the Corporate Side of the Force. "But there's still good in him."
• Redemption Equals Death: Uncle Sam defies the Devil, apologizes to Lady Liberty for hurting her, and dies shortly after.
  • Again: after been given a new life as an amnesiac child by MMXX, he's made aware of whatever he did and what America had become in his past life. He promptly goes to sacrifice himself again for the greater good, reganining all his memories in his final moments, but ending up dying "lost and confused, not knowing what he believes in"
• Significant Wardrobe Shift: Lady Liberty gets one of these after running away, to escape the Paparazzi.
• Toilet Seat Divorce: Lady Liberty ultimately leaves Uncle Sam after he refuses to try to give up his porn habit, but it's clear that his unwillingness to do so is just the latest in a long string of problems the two have been having.
• What Did I Do Last Night?: Uncle Sam is prone to heavy drinking. Waking up after this is not always easy.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Liberty and the audience's reaction to Uncle Sam's response about quitting porno, imperialism and exploitation of others.

Cupid

Cupid

Enough said. First seem shooting an arrow to Criminy to fall in love with Fuchsia.

---

• Deus ex Machina: In the relationship between Sam and Liberty. She was throwing Sam out the house, he shot love intro their hearts again and problem fixed!
• Love Potion: His arrows. They are even made of love itself.
• The Power of Love: His arrows could stop Slick's bomfed heart.
• The Voiceless: Never says a word in any of his appearances. He's more a man of action.
• Winged Humanoid: Naturally.

The Overseer

The Overseer

A mysterious and ominous hooded figure that apparently controls the Bomf District on and off the internet.

---

• All Men Are Perverts: Serves as a mouthpiece for the Porn Industry and exploitation of women.
• The Brute: Big, strong and scary.
• Dark Is Evil: His color scheme is black/dark blue, and whenever he appears, he brings darkness with him.
• The Dreaded: Everyone who meets him reacts with fear. Even other Demons.
• The Faceless: Never seen without his hood.
• In the Hood: Reminicent of an old-school executioner.
• The Voiceless: At first. Now he's The Quiet One.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: His wardrobe consists of a hood and leather pants.

The Old Year

The Old Year, known progressively in Roman Numerals from MMVIII to MMXX.

Usually an old man, appearing in December, always appearing the same. Futilely tries to avoid meeting his doom, but failing that, settles for Going Out with a Bang, sometimes bringing Death with him. (Death always gets better.)

---

• Ascended Extra: MMVIII was a bit character for a one-off gag in 2008. Nowadays, the New Year has a story-arc that averages about two weeks long.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Of the previous year, allowing for a recurring gag of Death killing him off every January.
• Boisterous Weakling: MMXVII has a lot of scrap in her, but at the end of the day, she's still just an old woman literally days away from death. She can barely walk, let alone fight.
  • Cool Old Lady: She can't fight but she does try to help out the strippers of the Bomf District and stands up to the Overseer/Bondage Guy, in spite of knowing she's no physical match for him. Woman's got ovaries of steel.
• Deal with the Devil: MMXV signed a contract with The Devil for eternal youth in desperate bid to avoid his death. It works, but wears off when he flies over the Reality Zone just long enough for Death to get his shot in.
• Doomed by Canon: A rare non-prequel version.
• Do Not Go Gentle: From MMX onwards, almost all of the New Years have fought Death tooth-and-nail to live (MMIX actually quotes this trope word-for-word, but doesn't actually get around to the fighting part). The one exception so far is MMXVII, who instead fights against the pimps in the BOMF District. When Death comes for her, she goes completely peacefully.
• Face Death with Dignity: The Grim Reaper reminds MMXVII that her time is up and she leaves with him peacefully.
• Gender Flip: MMXVII is female, apparently. MMXVIII is as well.
• Gilded Cage: MMXX is living the good life compared to her predecessors. However, she's essentially the Devil's slave, and is drugged with Lethe water if she attempts to escape.
• Legacy Character: Each new year is indistinguishable from the previous, except by their name and (beginning in MMXVII) their gender.
• In-Series Nickname: Father Time.
• Took a Level in Badass: Starting with MMXVII, the old years have gotten far more competent, coinciding with them taking on the Devil rather than fighting off death. As of 2019, they've actually got a higher body count than the Sisterhood, having successfully taken out Uncle Sam, the Pimpbot, and the Pimp in charge of the BOMF District.
  • If MMXVII's introduction is any indication. It has been borne out so far, as she is the only one of the new years so far to actively fight against the Devil's henchmen.
  • MMXVIII takes this even farther. Whereas her predecessor was so weak she could barely walk, MXVIII effortlessly takes out a crowd of Johnbies.
  • MMXXI was born and raised by a family of sympatethic rednecks. As such, she's a mean shot with a rifle, an athletic and strong country girl in her earlier days and a Determinator fueled by Faith in her last hours.
• Tyke-Bomb: MMXX was kidnapped by the Devil at birth and raised to serve him as a mascott.

Zombie Handmaiden

Zombie Handmaiden

A zombie girl who works as a prostitute in the red-light district. After January 2023, when she witnesses the previous year passing on, she effectively quits her job to start a rebellion... while barely knowing either what she's rebelling against or how one works. In December 2023, she manages, more than likely fatally for the Pimp, to figure out who she needs to kill to complete her rebellion.

---

• Cute Monster Girl: While still a zombie, she is drawn far cuter then how most the other zombies are drawn, excluding storytime,and still remains more or less conventionally attractive.
• Disability Immunity: Due to being a zombie, and effectively having problems with thinking straight, she can't be fully brainwashed, since she either forgets what she was told, misremembers or both at the same time.
• Dumb, but Diligent: After she encounters MMXXII in her final days, she goes from being a dumb and somewhat ineffective prostitute to a still dumb, but determined, rebel against the system.
  • She's shot twice by the Pimp's guard drones, but she still doesn't stop moving until her spear is buried in his chest.
• Immune to Bullets: Almost everyone who challenges the Pimp can't get close to him due to the fact he's surrounded by gun-toting pimp hat drones. That is until the one exception to the rule decided to rebel against his influence, gains a weapon and starts attacking with some purpose...
• Little Miss Snarker: Whether she intends to or not, she's quite fond of using snark.
• The Pen Is Mightier: 'Borrows' a spear from Vainglorious's guards when she stumbles into them the tip fashioned into the nib of a fountain pen. Notably, the spear gains the ability to smite anyone she stabs with it after she takes on the persona of a Grim Reaper.
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: She went from a minor side character whose entire characterization could be summed up as "lol sex joke" to effectively the strip's protagonist throughout 2023, to the point of being in five times as many comics as the actual MMXXIII character.
• Strawman Has a Point: She might not put it across in the right way, but some of her reasoning for her questionably effective rebellion is fairly well thought out... even for a normal human, never mind a zombie.

Robots

Rogue Fembot

Rogue Fembot

A companionship gynoid created by Deviltech and bought by Slick.

---

• Allegorical Character: She is an allegory for men objectifying women. Most men, being as they are, view her and her kind as appliances. Nothing but property, devoid of rights, and free to be abused in whatever fashion they please.. but they're actually capable of becoming sapient.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: Pink skin and purple hair.
• Driven to Suicide: The death of the weaponized fembot make her despair enough to try to commit seppuku with her knife. Tangerine and Lil'E were there to stop her.
• Fembot: Of course.
• Femme Fatalons: She has deployable claws. They're also fully customizable.
• He Who Fights Monsters: After the death of the Weaponized Fembot, she goes full Terminator. Ishida isn't even trying to hide it anymore; there's a Terminator Shout-Out in the Credits Gag.
• I Just Want to Be Free: Her first thought after her remote breaking? Escaping Slick.
• Ms. Fanservice: Has a Sexy Mode for this purpose. Also, she walks around in lingerie.
• Overly Long Name: When she was first asked about her name, and had to consult her internal programming for the answer, she came up with "Model PX1-F600 Serial Number FBXC-44-020-718-184-63-661-90-542".
• Revenge: After finding the bodies of her fellow fembots and downloading their memories, her emotional range expands... to include anger, it would seem.
• Robot Girl: Going into the Reality Zone activated her "autopilot mode" and has granted a kind of freedom after her remote control exploded. Even, it seems her default mode is a sassy behaviour. She could pass for a real girl if it wasn't for her needing tech support.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When she and Slick travel into the Reality Zone, the remote controlling her malfunctions. Her default mode is to run away.
• Sexy Sweater Girl: After she meets the Coffeehouse Lady, she gets outfitted for the cold.
• Three Laws-Compliant: Averted in the 06/10/13 strip where she threatens to tear a store clerk to shreds with her claws because he won't let her use a charger, and again in 07/10/13; she beats the crap out of one guy in revenge for his fembot who was destroyed by him.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: She's treated like property because she's a fembot, despite having become self-aware and fully conscious.

Weaponized Fembots

Weaponized Fembot and her Three Copies

A fembot created by Milton to destroy Rogue Fembot. After falling into the Reality Zone, she was destroyed by a self-destruction mechanism. Her memory chip was retrieved by the Sisterhood and uploaded to her copies. Only three survived the escape and they're looking for Rogue Fembot.

---

• Animal Motifs: Her braid can be used as a laser cannon in a manner that resembles a scorpion.
• Badass in Distress: One of the three copies is ambushed and held hostage by one guy who bought her while she was passing as a normal Pleasure Fembot.
• Big Damn Heroes: The three towards Rouge here.
• Bondage Is Bad: Is dressed up as a Dominatrix in a mask, corset, panties and thigh-highs.
• Brain Uploading: Three of her copies have her memories.
• Dark Action Girl: She was designed as one, having only the purpose of tracking down and destroying rogue fembots.
• Fembot: Obviously.
• Ms. Fanservice: Again, is dressed as a dominatrix.
• Redemption Equals Death: Is blown up by Milton shortly after gaining sentience and refusing his orders.
• Self-Destruct Mechanism: Milton did this to her shortly after she enters the Reality Zone.
• Sex Bot: Averted. When a man makes advances on her, she responds by advertising the real sexbots.
• Turned Against Their Masters: Milton blew her up in fear this was going to be the case after she fell in the Reality Zone. Her last recorded memory was avenge me.
• We Have Reserves: This strip revealed that she wasn't the only Assasin Fembot made; Milton made more.
• What Is This Feeling?: "Freedom".

Second Runaway Fembot

Second Runaway Fembot

She's watching the news coverage in the Search arc, and a commentator poses the standard terrorist or freedom-fighter question. This motivates her to run away. She meets up with and befriends the runaway Lady Liberty. By the time of MMXV, they've learned the joys of jumping in leaves.

Illuminati Drones

Illuminati Drones

Small, pyramid-shaped flying Cyclopes created by Milton that serve as the Devil's spies.

---

• Adorable Evil Minions: Some of them are, particularly after getting zapped by Buddha.
• Big Brother Is Watching: It's no coincidence they they were introduced to the series early in 2011.
• Cut Lex Luthor a Check: They're created by Deviltech, the leading provider of sin-related technology.
• Cyber Cyclops: Every single one of them. It may be just a style choice, or to reflect their nature as floating cameras.
• Fantastic Fragility: Both Jesus and the Reality Zone have overloaded and destroyed drones just by their existence: the drones tried to survey them.
• Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Sharp looking.
  • Good Wings, Evil Wings: Bat wings.
• Surveillance Drone: They're meant to let the Devil monitor all of the world's sins and dirty habits.

Eyeball

Eyeball

An Illuminati drone who became Lily and Tange's companion after being used to break out in the "Devil Tech Headquarters" arc. It has since become inseparable from them.

---

• Catchphrase: ALPHA FORMATION!
• Heel–Face Turn: Well, technically. Had Tange not grabbed him to use for breaking out, he might've still remained dutiful to The Devil.
• True Companions: This.

Enlightened Drones

Enlightened Drones

Illuminati drones, sent forth by Satan, met the Buddha and got Enlightened. Apparently Satan can't zap them back.

---

• Adorable Evil Minions: Except they're not evil anymore.
• Bewildering Punishment: Why oh why does Satan wish to be rid of them?
• Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Good. As soon as they are enlightened, they explore.
• Cute Machines
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: They're SO adorable!
• Cuteness Proximity: They have such woebegone eyes when the green succubus tries to get rid of them.
• Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Originally, their eyes were narrower and more suspicious looking.
• Good Wings, Evil Wings: Likewise, their wings were fly-like and produced a buzzing sound. This doubles as Butterfly of Transformation.
• Heel–Face Turn: They've gone from serving the Devil to neutral pet-like creatures.
• Home Sweet Home: True, they think home must be Heaven and don't realize it's Satan even when they see him.
• Nature Lover: Their first reaction to enlightenment.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: When faced with abandonment.
• Sweat Drop: When Satan orders the green succubus to give rid of them.
• The World Is Just Awesome: Their new view of the world.

Paige

Paige

A feminist devilbook.

---

• Most of the tropes that apply to Tomey, except without the conflicting loyalty.
• Books That Bite: Will ally with Tomey in extreme situations.
• Nature Versus Nurture: Fights with Tomey about this. Paige is on the nurture side of the debate. Xanthe calls it "[Criminy's] new awareness conflicting with his old assumptions".

• Quote-to-Quote Combat: Quite well-read

---

Lappy

Slick's laptop.

---

• Troll: Occasionally makes fun of its owner in front of people.

Pets

Cerberus

Cerberus

The Devil's pet three-headed female dog. Her sex is canonically established when Sleaze wishes for "hot bitches" on Christmas Eve.

---

• Angry Guard Dog: Very angry, complete with constant growling and pupil-less eyes.
• Big Friendly Dog: When 'Nique is around sometimes. Or when zen-zapped.
• Breath Weapon: Fire breath
• Canis Major: Realistically big, but still big.
• Female Monster Surprise: Sleaze wishes for "hot bitches". He gets Cerberus.
• Hell Hound: Satan's very own.
• I'm a Humanitarian: Mailmen avoid the Devil Mansion and this is why.
• Multiple Head Case: She's Cerberus after all.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: A primarily red color scheme with black accents.

Percival and Pooch

Percival and Pooch

A cat (Percy) and dog (Pooch) of the Author Avatar whose antics are mostly irrelevant to the rest of the strip (but are funny!)

---

• Added Alliterative Appeal: Pooch and Percy, of course.
• A Dog Named "Dog": Pooch is seen as this page's image.
• Cats Are Mean: Or proud at the very least.
• Cats Are Superior: Percy tries hard to invoke this.
• Cats Hate Water: Percival's weakness.
• Companion Cube: Bally and Yarny to Pooch and Percy respectively. Pooch seems to be under the impression that they're really alive.
• Cute Kitten: As much as Percy tries to deny it.
• Dogs Are Dumb: Pooch is kind of a simpleton.
  • Good Is Dumb: Both the dumbest and the friendliest being in that universe.
• Evil-Detecting Dog: When Blue comes into the Cartoonist's house, Pooch spends the entire time barking at her.
• Green Thumb: Sexy seeding.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Percival.
• Meaningful Name: Pooch, lampshaded by 'Nique who sarcastically tells their owner, "Hello, my name is 'girl'".
• Not So Above It All: As stated above, Percival is constantly trying to invoke Cats Are Superior, but sometimes, he shows he's really this.
• Pet the Dog/Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Percy shows from time to time that he really does care about his dumb dog companion. Aww.
• Precious Puppy: Something Pooch embraces wholeheartedly.
• Ridiculously Cute Critters: Especially when sleeping. Their master even loses his "Tortured Artist Card" after squeeing over them.
• Technopath: Percy, by complete accident. Every time he steps on an electronic device, it's some valid combination of buttons that will somehow make life slightly more miserable for his owner, such as ordering 50 cases of feminine anti-itch cream or making a "cat goatse screensaver".
• Those Two Guys: Oddly enough. Their antics have no meaningful connection to the plot, they're just one-off jokes and comic relief..
