History Characters / DiceFunkPurgatory

A Nidhogg child (so a few hundred years old, but comparatively about seven). She goes with the Furies to help kill Jean after they make friends with her father. Conduit of Roots.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Like the rest of her family, she's not fond of gods. Since the Nidhoggs were meant to play a major role in Ragnarok, and Dora's actions killed them all before that could happen, they have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. It's why the Furies were able to ally themselves with Calliope's father; there aren't any surviving gods, so they might as well kill the next best thing.

* MistakenForThief: It is mentioned that she is constantly confused for a pirate, as she is the captain of a boat and the Conduit of Booty.

* {{Expy}}: Upon her introduction, the players immediately name-drop [[VideoGame/Undertale Toriel]].

* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Wields a black bladed sword gifted to her both drow worshippers of Lolth.

* Expy: Upon her introduction, the players immediately name-drop [[VideoGame/Undertale Toriel]].

* PopularWithFurries: Austin notes that the Guardinals avert this. {{Planescape}} failed to attract a significant fanbase in the early 90's and have languished in obscurity ever since.

The leader of the Athar. Ancestor of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the titans]] who were killed by the first generation of gods. Conduit of Deicide.

[[folder:Lancelot]]
A Hollyphant operating as an agent of the [[NayTheist Athar]]. In Heaven to overthrow the Metatron. Conduit of the Lost.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Explains that his distaste for gods is a result of a childhood trauma. Namely, [[spoiler:his family were killed by cultists of a nature god who harvested their ivory for a ritual to bring their dead deity back to life.]]
* HealingHands: Manifests when Nifyx (as a triceratops) licks Lancelot, accidentally healing herself.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:When King grabs a lance imbued with the [[SevenHeavenlyVirtues heavenly virtue of Charity]], it makes him stab through Lancelot to avenge the Metatron. He gets better.]]
* NayTheist: He's an Athar, so this is basically a requirement; since the gods died, they've turned their attention to people who start acting like gods. Notably, the Furies first meet him while he's on a mission to overthrow the Metatron.
* TalkingAnimal: As a Hollyphant, he looks like a tiny golden winged Elephant who can talk.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: It's unclear how ''precisely'' his shapeshifting works, but if it's anything like the mastadon form in the original {{TableTopGame/Planescape}} setting it's probably at-will.
* WingedHumanoid: His humanoid form still has his fairy wings and an elephant head.

[[folder:Lloyd]]
A British shorthair tabaxi who grew up with King in Project Dharma. Has since joined the [[AGodAmI Believers of the Source]]. Conduit of Perplexity.

* AGodAmI: As a Believer, this is his ultimate goal. [[spoiler:The reason he and the other Believers are in the Abyss in the first place is to bind Jean and steal her power after she ascends.]]
* DualWielding: He uses a pair of swords that he wears on the same hip, samurai-style.
* PunkRock: His aesthetic is 80s British punk.
* StrongAndSkilled: Austin notes that Lloyd is probably the best fighter in the world for his size, although he could be defeated by many people larger or more magically inclined.
** King's Conduit of Instinct acts as a hard counter to Lloyd's Conduit of Perplexity, but Lloyd was always able to beat him. This would imply that even without his conduit advantage he's an extremely skilled swordsman.
* VoiceChangeling: The voice Chris initially had in mind was the cockney voice Austin did for Hafthor in Season 5. Austin's accent keeps going all over the place, so he just makes it part of Lloyd's character that he can (and will) change his voice whenever, similar to Nucky in Season 4.
** Lloyd's eventual in-character explanation is that it's an extension of his [[ConfusionFu conduit]].

!!Heaven
[[folder:The Metatron]]
A Sokushinbutsu who's been running Heaven due to the death of the gods. Has recently decided that the standards for entering Heaven have become too lax and shut the gates to prevent more 'sinners' from getting in. Conduit of Purity.

* ActualPacifist: [[spoiler:In his first form,]] he doesn't directly attack anyone as he is a pacifist. The only damage dealt is in the form of his holy presence. [[spoiler:Averted when he sets up his SuicideAttack and goes into his second form.]]
* AngelicAbomination: His human form is mostly vestigial (and already looks dessicated from the mummification) and his six wings are so thin that they resemble insect legs. [[spoiler:Once the human part is taken out he's basically a disembodied nervous system connected to the wings.]]
* AstralProjection: How he interacts with people. Part of the Furies job to kill him requires ''finding'' him.
* CurbstompBattle: He still has the consistency of a mummified monk who'd been fasting and sedentary for 27 years before his death. [[spoiler:And then the Furies meet his second form.]]
* HarmfulToTouch: The biggest danger when fighting his first form is that [[spoiler:approaching him makes most things burn from the inside out from how holy he is]].
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He was aware that Blake had ulterior motives for his rambling about colonoscopies, but paid close attention in order to prove that he has infinite patience... meaning he didn't notice the rest of the Furies literally walk right past him.]]
* HolierThanThou: At some point he decided his standards were above those that the ''gods'' put in place and closed heaven to ''everyone''.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Elevated to the position of Metatron for being the most moral person alive, he nevertheless makes some deeply troubling decisions and seems to display the deadly sin of pride.
* {{Mummy}}: Specifically a Sokushinbutsu, which is a monk observing asceticism to the point of self-mummification.
* RightlySelfRighteous: He was made Metatron for a reason; he was the most moral person in existence. This seems to have degraded over time, however, as his refusal to let anyone into Heaven has left good-aligned petitioners standing outside the gates, making it incredibly easy to steal and sell their souls in Purgatory.
* SuicideAttack: [[spoiler:Played with. He throws the Cathedral of Stars straight at Mount Celestia... with himself and everyone else inside. The main difference here is that he's not intending to kill himself as much as he just doesn't bother to think about his own place in the equation; after all, that would be prideful.]]

[[folder:Anastasia]]
A [[{{Valkyries}} Valkyrie]] who spends her time killing, drinking, eating, or napping. Conduit of Resurrection. [[spoiler:Member of the Believers of the Source.]]

* ConnectedAllAlong: She says it's a stereotype that psychopomps all know each other, but she actually ''does'' know Cato.
** She's also pretty familiar with the Metatron. This is partially due to their jobs (both being major figures in Heaven), but as a psychopomp she's also the one who brought his soul to Heaven in the first place.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Like the Valkyries of myth, Anastasia displays a fondness for mead. She is passed out from drinking when the party first meets her and is in the middle of a keg stand the second time they visit her.
* {{Psychopomp}}: Her family was created by Freya to be the psychopomps of Heaven.
* TwentyFourHourArmor: The Furies walk in on her taking a nap in front of a feast in her armor. She's apparently taken to wearing it with sweat pants since she spends so much time lounging around with the gates of Heaven closed.
* WildHair: She has notably large, unkempt red hair.
-->'''Cordelia:''' I like your hair.
-->'''Anastasia:''' Thanks. I haven't brushed it. Ever.

!!Abyss
[[folder:Jean the Demon Queen]]
A prospective Demon Lord who, if ascended, could reignite (and win) the [[EnemyCivilWar Blood War]], and therefore become a threat to other planes. [[BewareTheSillyOnes She's also the Conduit of Fun]].

* AGodAmI: She's looking to ascend to Demon Lord status. This would make her one of the closest things to a god that currently exists.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Previous Demons who attempted to become Lords were all conduits of ruthless forms like war and murder. This got them killed by rivals before they could ascend. Being the Conduit of Fun means Jean's made much fewer enemies and many more friends, which is why she's so close to ascending.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first it seems like she's not that bad; the demons seem to like her, and it's understandable that she'd antagonize the Furies since they're coming to kill her. It soon becomes clear that she enjoys screwing with people and even leading them to their deaths. She later reveals that ''her'' idea of fun is [[spoiler:hurting other people]].
* EvilIsPetty: She seems to like exacerbating the things she hears people complain about.
** Jean hears about Cordelia's intense dislike of maggots numerous times. [[spoiler:So when she's unwilling to join up, Jean summons loads of maggots just to annoy her on the way out the door.]]
* FliesEqualsEvil: Strongly associated with maggots, it turns out that [[spoiler:Jean is a giant bot fly.]]
* JackassGenie: She's probably less murderous to people who aren't her enemies, but she uses her conduit to give the Furies what they'd find fun... creatively interpreting the definition so it attacks them.
** During her challenge to Nifyx, the Furies are meant to find a way for their boat to get down the river. Once they do so, they realize [[spoiler:she's put them on a ''completely different river'']]; she never specified when laying out the challenge.
** [[spoiler:The Furies later discover that she's really ''not'' above pulling the same jackassery on neutral parties. She's been using peoples' desires to kill them basically to create obstacles for the group.]]
* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:Cordelia stabs Jean in the head with a holy pickaxe and channels a fire spell through it, killing her.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: She plans out her 'fun' diversions specifically to force the Furies into wasting spell slots and health getting to her. [[spoiler:She even lures Scar to a new fishing spot hoping the Furies would attack them and have to fight a Balor.]]
* MessyMaggots: She attacks the party by spewing flesh-eating maggots at them in her first appearance. Then Cordelia is invited to her castle on the 665th layer, where nearly every surface is covered in them as well.
* PuppeteerParasite: Controls a severed dragon head full of maggots that she puppeteers around, instead of facing the party in person. [[spoiler:Until they show up to kill her, at which point they see the rest of the dragon in a similar state.]]
* SexualEuphemism: Early on, just about every single line. It gets to the point that Cordelia dreads talking to her. She stops doing this so much a couple of episodes after her first appearance.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Tries this with Cordelia, offering her levels 69 and 420 of the Abyss. She's refused due to Cordelia's sense of honor and distrust (and dislike) of Jean.
* YourHeartsDesire: Offers this to Blake in the form of a lovely beachside retirement. It doesn't work, since it's not ''really'' Blake's desire so much as an endpoint based on his understanding of what 'retirement' means.

[[folder:Sharon]]
A skeletal gondolier who pilots a floating discotheque. Used to be in a relationship with Cato. Conduit of Booty.

* AmicableExes: She's still on friendly terms with Cato, and even gives the Furies a ride through the Abyss at his request.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Averted. She's wearing a stereotypical Venetian gondolier's outfit but talks and acts like she's from the American countryside.
* DemBones: She's completely skeletal. It's unclear if she was at some point ''not'' a skeleton; considering how the planes work, she may have just appeared as one.
* MistakenForThief: It is mentioned that she is constantly confused for a pirate, as she is the captain of a boat and the Conduit of Booty.
* TheFerryman: As her name would imply. Although her 'ferry' is a discotheque on the river.
* ParanormalMundaneItem: Her oar, which can be used to control water and is invulnerable to the various dangerous materials that run through the rivers of the Abyss. Nifyx names it [[VideoGame/OriAndTheBlindForest Ori]].

[[folder:Scarmiglione]]
Scar for short. A massive Balor living in the Abyss. They help out the Furies after Nifyx beats them in a fishing contest. Conduit of Fishing.

* MessyMaggots: She attacks the party by spewing flesh-eating maggots at them in her first appearance. Then Cordelia is invited to her castle on the 665 layer, where nearly every surface is covered in them as well.
* PuppeteerParasite: Controls a severed dragon head full of maggots that she puppeteers around, instead of facing the party in person.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Tries this with Cordelia, offering her levels 69 and 420 of the Abyss. She's refused due to Cordelia's sense of honor and distrust of Jean.

** When the Metatron comes up with a sin for each of the Furies, he's not really able to pin one on King; instead, he calls him an animal. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint King responds that yes, he ''is'' a lizardfolk.]]

* PublicDomainCharacter: Discussed. The Balor is a kind of demon from [[Myth/CelticMythology Celtic mythology]], which J.R.R. Tolkien drew on for the Balrog. Then [[TabletopGames/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]] imported the Balrog, before being forced to change the name back to Balor.

* PublicDomainCharacter: Discussed. The Balor is a kind of demon from [[UsefulNotes/CelticMythology Irish mythology]], which J.R.R. Tolkien drew on for the Balrog. Then [[TabletopGames/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]] imported the Balrog, before being forced to change the name back to Balor.

A yuan-ti warlock and artist... whose preferred medium is body parts. Formerly known as the Valentine Ripper, her murder spree was brought to an end when she was killed by a valravn named Lynette. They started dating after her resurrection, and the Raven Queen acts as Cordelia's warlock patron. Conduit of Expression.

* SenseFreak: She's interested in joining the Society of Sensates, which Lynette is already a part of, but her first attempt to join finds her lacking in unique sensations. She's decided to try and rectify this.

* SenseFreak: She's a member of the Society of Sensates.

A yuan-ti warlock and artist... whose preferred medium is body parts. Formerly known as the Valentine Ripper, her murder spree was brought to an end when she was killed by the Raven Queen (not ''that'' one, she's still dead). They started dating after her resurrection, and the Raven Queen acts as Cordelia's warlock patron. Conduit of Expression.

[[folder:Lynette, the Raven Queen]]
A valravn who works with Cato. Not the goddess known as the Raven Queen (that one's still dead) but seems to be using her title. Became Cordelia's warlock patron after her death. Conduit of Patronage.

[[folder:Charon]]

A British shorthair tabaxi who grew up with King in Project Dharma. Has since joined the [[AGodAmI Believers of the Source]].

* ParanormalMundaneItem: Her oar, which can be used to control water and is invulnerable to the various dangerous materials that run through the rivers of the Abyss.

** This even overrides Jean's temptation of being able to [[YouHeartsDesire walk into a beachside retirement dimension]] without having to earn the money to get there. He sees the idea of retirement as the reward at the end and simply ignores the portal entirely.

-->'''Jean''': You're very easily offended for someone just festooned in the body parts of her victims.

A [[{{Valkyries}} Valkyrie]] who spends her time killing, drinking, eating, or napping. Conduit of Resurrection.

* ManipulativeBastard: She plans out her 'fun' diversions specifically to force the Furies into wasting spell slots and health getting to her. [[spoiler:She even lures Scar to a new fishing spot hoping the Furies would attack them and have to fight a balor.]]

** This even overrides Jean's temptation of being able to walk into a beachside retirement dimension without having to earn the money to get there. He sees the idea of retirement as the reward at the end and simply ignores the portal entirely.

King's adoptive daughter. Originally part of Project Dharma, but King took her with him when the Nexus went under. Conduit of Limes.

* AGodAmI: As a Believer, this is his ultimate goal.

** [[spoiler:The Furies later discover that she's really ''not'' above pulling the same jackassery on neutral parties. She's been using peoples' desires to kill them basically for fun.]]

* SexualEuphemism: Just about every single line. It gets to the point that Cordelia dreads talking to her.

Scar for short. A massive balor living in the Abyss. They help out the Furies after Nifyx beats them in a fishing contest. Conduit of Fishing.

* GentleGiant: They're a balor, a legally distinct word for what is literally a [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium balrog]]. The Furies think they're a ''hill'' from behind. They're also rather soft-spoken, enjoy fishing, and generally think the best of people.

* [[RealMenWearPink Real Balors Wear Pink]]: Fishing really isn't the sort of hobby you'd expect out of a balor. Granted, Scar's catching massive demon fish.
* WhipItGood: They use a fire whip that branches into multiple tips, much like the one used by the balrog in Lord of the Rings.

* AlwaysSecondBest: He was number two in the assassin rankings. He was never bothered by this, though, and even had a (one-sided) friendship (which King considers brotherhood) with Lloyd, the number one guy.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: They use their fishing line like a whip. It also branches into a sort of cat-o-nine-tails.
* [[OneManArmy One-Person Army]]: When Scar gets to fighting, they take out swaths of trees with each swing. And their weapon is their ''fishing lines''.

A human wizard and a ''very'' mundane person. He was approached for his lack of distinct features and became an assassin for FailSafe Insurance, killing high-risk clients in ways not covered by their insurance plan. The day he killed what was going to be his final target he stopped to get a taco from a street vendor and died of food poisoning. Conduit of Mundanity.

* [[RealMenWearPink Real Balors Wear Pink]]: Fishing really isn't the sort of hobby you'd expect out of a balor. Granted, Scar's catching massive demon fish.

[[/folder]]

A lizardfolk fighter who was raised as an assassin by a criminal syndicate called the Nexus. He eventually escaped along with a baby girl; to provide for his adopted daughter (now named Princess Lime), he took mercenary work and was killed on the job. He's an idiot but thinks he's the smartest person in the room. Conduit of Instinct.

!!Factions
[[folder:Lancelot]]
A Hollyphant operating as an agent of the [[NayTheist Athar]]. In Heaven to overthrow the Metatron. Conduit of the Lost.

A British shorthair tabaxi who grew up with King in Project Dharma. Has since joined the Believers of the Source.

!!Heaven
[[folder:The Metatron]]
A Sokushinbutsu who's been running Heaven due to the death of the gods. Has recently decided that the standards for entering Heaven have become too lax and shut the gates to prevent more 'sinners' from getting in. Conduit of Purity.

* Malaproper: King constantly pronounces unusual words like other words. He calls the Metatron the [[{{Franchise/Transformers}} Megatron]] so many times he even gets Austin doing it.
