"A hero is a violent wanderer, who will enact their will bloodily, and with strange magics, upon the world."
- Race: HumanClass: Wizard (School of Chronurgy)
The mercurial principal and eponymous founder of Aguefort Academy.
- Alliterative Name: Arthur Aguefort , as well as his school, Aguefort Adventuring Academy.
- The Archmage: He's an incredibly powerful and knowledgeable wizard, though we don't really see the crux of his magical abilities directly for the entirety of Fantasy High. He demonstrates the extent of his powers when he wages war against the entirety of Fallinel, and though he doesn't succeed, he still managed to take a few cities and cause enough of a ruckus that Fallinel and Solace nearly went to war again.
- Bald of Authority: While not necessarily part of a team, unless you count the Council of Chosen, he is the principal of the school.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Due to a combination of getting on in years and just being a straight up oddball, Aguefort's Establishing Character Moment has him give a rambling speech to the student body that goes off on wild tangents and takes a while to coalesce into a coherent point.
- Exaggerated after he sneaks out of Heaven and comes back to life. Not only does he keep his habit of going into rambling speeches, but being free of the poison Kalvaxus served him, he's much more capable to make his wildest impulses reality and the toll that running Sol's heaven and coming back to life took on his sanity, even reversing the entire flow of time in order to hear a mildly funny quip.
- Cool Old Guy: He may be weird but there's no denying the badassery of sacrificing his life so he could revive two students he barely knew.
- Corrupted Character Copy: He's a pretty blatant parody of Albus Dumbledore. But while Dumbledore was merely eccentric, Aguefort is straight up batshit insane.
- Crazy Enough to Work: He's absolutely unhinged which means every other moment he's on screen is a
Moment of Awesome.- Immediately kills himself and the nearest staff member to revive Kristen and Gorgug.
- Sneaks into and out of heaven.
- 'Kills' Sol.
- Brazenly assaults federal officers and challenges the others to do something about it to protect the party from jail.
- Grows 450 feet, manages to move the entire planet to facilitate the appearance of him DUNKING THE SUN, manifests thousands of terracotta warriors from beneath the earth, and blasts off nearby mountain caps with eye beams. All because a student asked for help.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: The reason he's cut ties with his daughter Ayda is that she was the one who asked for it.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Knocked out Sol and took his place in secrecy.
- Extreme Omnisexual: Aguefort's sex life is described in very graphic detail in his biography, where it's mentioned that he even fucked a phoenix.
- Genre Savvy: When he gives a speech to the Academy on the first day of school of Freshman Year, his definition of "hero" aptly describes your average D&D player character.But what is an adventurer? One who goes on adventures? I say that an adventurer is a hero, and what is a hero? A hero is someone with the strength of heart, courage of spirit, and the might of will to go to strange lands and enact violence on things there. We go to places where there are things that must be destroyed, and we destroy them. Wandering from town to town, getting into trouble, meeting in flophouses and taverns and getting into scrapes with the law and otherwise finding ourselves engaged in all manner of tomfoolery and shenanigans sometimes violent, sometimes fatal. Yes fatal. A hero is a violent wanderer who enacts their will bloodily and with strange magicks upon the world. BUT does a hero truly stand alone? (mirthful chuckle) No, the strength of the hero is the strength of the party.
- Heroic R Ro D: His attempt to wage war on Fallinel all by himself left him pretty messed up physically.
- Interspecies Romance/Divine Date: He, at the very least, seduced and bedded a phoenix, who, in this world, are celestial beings.
- Kid from the Future: Maybe. Given his unexplained animosity toward Gorgug and an offhand response to asking if he was Gorgug's dad in the first season, it is implied that he might in fact be Gorgug's son, given Aguefort's use of chronomancy.
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: Not that he had much opportunity to teach the main characters much of anything, since he dies on the first day of school in order to revive Kristen and Gorgug.
- One-Man Army: Fights the armies of Fallinel by himself. He doesn't win against them, but he still managed to fight for a while and survive.
- Only the Chosen May Wield: One of only two people capable of handling 'Watches and Wards', the book binding Kalvaxis to the school without being knocked unconscious. The other being Arthur's lover, the Elven Oracle and then Adaine when she became the new Oracle after the old one was killed in the shipwreck.
- Parental Neglect: Hasn't seen his daughter, Ayda, in over 300 years leaving her to raise herself each time she resurrects because he's trying to respect her wish that he never contact her again. She even told him she would leave her future selves notes to never give him a second chance as a father. He's unaware that another version of Ayda burnt those notes in an attempt to start fresh.
- Protagonist-Centered Morality: Actively encourages this mindset in his students. To him, true adventures are violent transgressors that make the world fold under their desires. Laws and ethics just get in the way.Arthur: (after brainwashing several federal agents) Ah, adventures: we do whatever we want, with no consequence. The Aguefort way!
- Really 700 Years Old: Revealed to be centuries old, according to supplementary historical articles and his personal autobiography.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: For some reason, he's really annoyed by Gorgug as of Sophomore Year, verbally attacking him pretty much every time the latter speaks. It might make sense if he was serious about Gorgug being his dad.
- Time Master: His chosen school of Magic is Chronurgy, which focuses on time manipulation.
- Wizard Beard: His character art depicts him with a flowing white beard that drapes all the way down to his waist.
Vice Principal Goldenhoard
Vice Principal Goldenhoard /Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"Immediate detention."
- Race: Red Dragonborn / Red Dragon
The strict vice principal of Aguefort.
- Big Bad: He's secretly Kalvaxus, the Emperor of the Red Waste who wishes to return to his previous position of power, thus making him the mastermind behind a good portion of the campaign's conflict as well as the party's final opponent.
- Bullying a Dragon: Even if the trope weren't literal enough with him being a Draconic Humanoid, every act of disrespect, defiance or mischief directed at him becomes this with The Reveal that he's actually Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste, as well as an actual, full-blooded dragon. Even when his true identity is exposed, the Bad Kids keep lobbing petty insults at him while they take him on.
- The Comically Serious: Acts as a foil to the goofier characters - namely Arthur Aguefort and Fig - and puzzled by their bizarre antics. This trait carries over even after he's exposed as the villain.
- Diminishing Villain Threat: In Sophomore Year he attempts to recruit the damned souls of his former minions back to his side, but as he's now a Living Ship without any real way to do anything he's just ignored.
- Draconic Humanoid: The only dragonborn in the entire school faculty. Becomes a plot point later when it turns out there are no dragonborns on the school's payroll, since Goldenhoard is an actual dragon.
- Eaten Alive: Riz and his mom go to town on him as they shred and eat whatever they can from his chest while he's still alive. Subverted when he's brought back so the pure maidens can have their turn to kill him.
- Embarassing Nickname: Fig starts a chant calling him "Goldenrod" and the nickname sticks, much to his chagrin. In fact, when Bill Seacaster turns him into a Living Ship he determines that nickname frustrated him so much that he names the ship "The Goldenrod" just to humiliate him further.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Killing and subjugating people is fine and dandy to him, but one thing you can say for him is he's not homophobic. Also, he winces when Fabian decks Penelope, being quite put off by it. In addition, he is disturbed and enraged by Fig's attempts to flirt with him, though it's downplayed in that he's willing to use the threat of reciprocating as a way to psych her out during the final battle.
- Final Boss: Of Season 1 of Fantasy High.
- Humiliation Conga: As Kalvaxus, the Queen and her greatest warriors once had to take him down. This time he is confronted by a "bunch of losers" in the form of the Bad Kids. He is killed by Riz who proceeds to begin eating his head alongside Sklonda. Then he gets resurrected only so the Maidens can kill him again. Finally, he is sent to Hell where Bill Seacaster rips him apart and turns him into a Living Ship.
- I Call It "Vera": Totes around a cricket bat he calls "Hawthorne, Cleaver of Heinies!"
- I Control My Minions Through...: Bribery. He's not a really smart bad guy, but he is really rich and offered to all of his minions what they wanted, like being prom queen for Penelope, owning the trapped maidens for Biz, or allowing Aelwyn to escape her family's abuse.
- Laughably Evil: Given the tone of Fantasy High in general this is only a given. During the Final Boss he loudly proclaims he's a Libertarian and has to deal with the Bad Kids constantly making fun of him during the fight.
- One-Winged Angel: Once he is released of Aguefort's binding spell and returns to his original dragon form.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Is a hard-ass and known to carry around a cricket bat for the purposes of corporal punishment, but takes care of the main six after their ordeal with the corn monsters.
- Redemption Rejection: Arthur Aguefort polymorphed him into a humanoid form so that he could live among the people he once tormented and change his ways as one of them, with his only stipulations being that he had to serve Arthur as the vice principal of his school and wasn't allowed to hurt anyone of Solisean citizenship. How does he repay this act of kindness? By manipulating the Elven Oracle's prophecy so he could break free from his restraints and dominate Solace again.
- Smug Snake: He believes he's the evil mastermind of the story. He's the only one close to believe that, as Aelwyn outright calls him a moron, and the Bad Kids insult his intelligence a lot after they realise how clueless he was about the Nightmare King's plans.
- Stern Teacher: Describes himself as in charge of disciplining students at school.
- This Cannot Be!: As he says while Riz stabs him in the head."I had a whole plan! I did everything right! The prophecy!"
- Top-Heavy Guy: His character's artwork depicts him as such.
- Walking Spoiler: The penultimate episode reveals that he is really the Big Bad Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste and not even a dragonborn, but a red dragon who was cursed and bound into Principal Aguefort's service.
Coach Daybreak
Coach Daybreak
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"You got a big mouth and no heart! You will never be an Owlbear!"
- Race: HumanClass: Fighter
Aguefort Academy's gym teacher and coach for the Owlbears.
- Arc Villain: As the secret head of the Harvestmen, he's this for the entire arc involving them, which lasts until a little after the halfway point of the campaign.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Comes off as a supportive coach, a passionate sports-player, a reasonable authority figure for Kristen and all-around nice guy, but he's really the leader of a fanatical Apocalypse Cult. Even before that, a conversation after the trip to the Black Pit shows he believes homosexuals are doomed to hell, and asks for the location of the "friend" of Kristen who didn't have fervent belief in Helio.
- Bears Are Bad News: Summons an Owlbear to fight the party at some point.
- Boom, Headshot!: Riz kills him by shooting him in the head in Episode 10.
- Disc-One Final Boss: His death wraps up most of the plot threads the Bad Kids have uncovered up to that point(namely that one of Aguefort's faculty was secretly evil and the existence of the Harvestmen), sending them into a few months of downtime as Kalvaxus' true plan begins to unfold.
- The Fundamentalist: Subverted. Daybreak seems like a loyal follower of the Helionic faith but when he later lays out his ideology he makes it clear he doesn't really pay attention to scripture and just thinks that so long as he worships Helio nothing he does can be wrong.
- Knight Templar: The main characters discover Daybreak is the leader of the Harvestmen, a militant off-shoot of the Church of Helio that believes the world is impure and needs to be cleansed in an apocalyptic event.
- Hypocrite: Has no problem taking Bill Seacaster's money to let Fabian on the Owlbears and then cheats him out of it by kicking him off the team (and giving him detention for even mentioning it).
- Manipulative Bastard: He was paying for Zayn Darkshadow's apartment, and used this as leverage to make him do the Harvestmen's dirty work.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: As Kristen learns on asking him, he believes homosexuals are going to hell.
- Potty Failure: Adaine hits him with a Ray of Sickness between the kidneys, resulting in him violently evacuating his bowels.
- Villainous Breakdown: He degenerates into mad raving by the end of his fight in Episode 10.Coach Daybreak: (to Kristen) You befriended these heretics and liars?! You have rejected the faith, Kristen!
- Would Hurt a Child: Has no problem turning Kristen into a Hellmouth for the sake of bringing about the apocalypse. It's also confirmed that he's the one who mauled and hospitalized Biz.
Mister Gibbons
Mr. Gibbons
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"Oh wow! There's some really powerful feelings here.."
- Race: Gnome
The school guidance counselor.
- Boom, Headshot!: Aguefort shoots him in the head as part of the ritual to revive Gorgug.
- Catchphrase: "There's some really powerful feelings here."
- Dragged Off to Hell: His spirit is added to Gorthalax's collection in the Bottomless Pit.
- Misplaced Retribution: After being murdered by Aguefort to revive Gorgug and becoming a ghost he understandably has "unfinished business" with Principal Aguefort. However, he also seems to blame Gorgug and the Bad Kids, possessing people to attack them.
- Vengeful Ghost: When Gorgug encounters him in the afterlife, Mr. Gibbons eyes glow red and he claims to have "unfinished business" because his boss murdered him. He later possesses and attacks the Bad Kids as a ghost.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Spends a single interrupted detention with the Bad Kids before he is killed by Principal Aguefort to revive Gorgug.
Doreen
Doreen
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"Remember me, as I was, a single woman of some years, whom made pre-prepared meals for children. I asked for nothing, and I didn't choose for this to happen to me."
- Race: HumanClass: Warlock (The Celestial)
The lunch lady.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Is corrupted by the influence of the book Adaine stole on her first day which causes her to attack the Bad Kids and leads to Adaine killing her.
- Cool Old Lady: She immediately earns Fig's respect by being this because she smokes at school despite not being supposed to. Also, when Fig decides to turn opening corn drums into just playing the drums, Doreen is impressed with her talent and encourages Fig to attend classes by reasoning that whilst she might not learn a lot of anything important she should at least see what bullshit they're selling.
- Died Happily Ever After: Kristen encounters Doreen in heaven and finds that she now looks younger and is happy smoking and flirting with male and female angels.
- Forgiveness: Posthumously forgives Adaine for killing her, realizing it was in defense and explaining her last words were just because she was angry in the moment.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: And also the very first fight of the series. The fight with her starts with a lot of jokes about "corn cuties" and failing to jump up on tables. It ends with two characters dead and another two close to it.
Aguefort Students
Penelope Everpetal
Penelope Everpetal
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"TRY TO BANISH ME? I AM THE FUCKING PROM QUEEN!"
- Race: Half-ElfClass: Sorcerer (Wild Magic)
One of the popular students at Aguefort and Dayne Blade's girlfriend.
- Academic Alpha Bitch: Condescendingly compliments Adaine on her first day of school and noted to run a lot of the school's extracurricular clubs. She also happens to be part of the palimpsest conspiracy, and is the one to befriend many of the girls who are trapped in the crystals to use in Kalvaxus's unbinding ritual.
- Accidental Misnaming: Adaine refers to her as Penelope Clearwater at one point, though she's not around to hear it.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She maintains a relatively nice if slightly bitchy persona around the Bad Kids and other friends at school. By the final episode it transpires that she's far more ruthless and insane than she first seemed.
- Cerebus Retcon: Her entire scheme to become prom queen takes on a much darker tone when the fallout of her actions implode her family; her parents end up divorcing and Sam is left a traumatic mess.
- Evil Former Friend: To Sam Nightingale, one of the Maidens, who has been her best friend since they were children.Penelope: "I let them put my best friend in a crystal! You think you're going to take this from me?"
- Becomes even worse when we learn that her family took Sam in when she got disowned by her birth mom, making her betrayal a case of Cain and Abel.
- Evil Makes You Monstrous: By the time of Sophomore Year she's become a full fledged fiend stuck in Hell, with silver shards embedded in her head that form a mock crown, a scorched prom dress, sunken eyeless sockets, and razor sharp teeth.
- Humble Goal: Her only goal is to become Prom Queen. For that, she's ready to participate in a conspiracy who hurt her very best friend/adopted sister in order to awaken an ancient evil dragon.
- Skewed Priorities: During the battle at the prom, Penelope constantly blames the Bad Kids for ruining prom and her dress, even as she is badly injured and was one of those who helped Kalvaxus be released in the middle of prom.
- Valley Girl: Her voice resembles this accent.
Dayne Blayde
Dayne Blayde
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"Babe, it's 'fewer questions'. 'Less questions' is wrong, grammatically."
- Race: HumanClass: Paladin
The captain of the school's bloodrush team, the Aguefort Owlbears, and Penelope Everpetal's boyfriend.
- An Arm and a Leg: After the final battle, Fabian decides to cut one of his hands off.
- Anti-Climax Boss: Downplayed. He's killed almost immediately in Prompocalypse and was built up as a major threat in the fight, but he's definitely not the final boss. He's also much more of a problem when he reappears in "Blast from the Passed," presumably using the same stats.Brennan: Sometimes you make a villain and he dies in the first two rounds, did you guys know that?
- Big Man on Campus: Runs unopposed as Aguefort's Prom King and is the captain of the Owlbears; he is more or less what Fabian tries to be at school.
- Dumb Jock: Doesn't seem too bright and little slow on the uptake.
- Hidden Depths: Despite his noted ditzziness, he actually explains the incorrect usage of "less questions" as opposed to "fewer questions" when Adaine corrects Penelope's grammar.
- Impaled Palm: The bloody bandages around his hand identify him as the Harvestman who took out Fabian's eye before being impaled through his palm during the attack on Seacaster Manor.
- Jerk Jock: Aside from him being a murderous villain, he's also noted to be bigoted jerk by Ragh, whom Dayne punched in the eye upon learning he was gay and had feelings for him.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Implied. As noted under Jerk Jock, he gave Ragh a black eye after the latter confessed his feelings for him, suggesting that he's violently homophobic.
Ragh Barkrock
Ragh Barkrock
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
Click here to see Ragh during Freshman Year
"I'M GAY NOWWWWWW!"
- Race: Half-OrcClass: Barbarian
The school's resident bully, Dayne's best friend and also a member the Owlbears.
- Armored Closet Gay: Revealed in "Prompocalypse" to have had romantic feelings for Dayne, and bottled up these feelings until Jawbone encouraged him to be open with them.
- Blackmail: Didn't say anything about seeing Kalina in Aguefort Adventuring Academy because she threatened to kill his mother if he did.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Is possessed by the Nightmare's King's forces and fights the Bad Kids along them.
- The Bully: Ragh is the classic depiction of this archetype, a beefy jock that picks on the more socially ostracized kids at school; namely Riz, Gorgug, Kristen and Zayn Darkshadow.
- Bully Turned Buddy/Reformed Bully: He's befriended the Bad Kids by the end of the season and become a kinder person.
- Dumb Jock: Doesn't seem to know what a church is, calling it a "house with no beds and a lot of benches".
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Even before his Heel–Face Turn, he deeply loves his mom.
- Foil: To Gorgug. Both are half-orc barbarians with a Disappeared Dad and anger issues. However, Gorgug is sweet, quiet, and tries to control his anger, which shows itself in surprisingly violent outbursts, while Ragh is a bombastic Jerkass, who's pretty much always angry.
- Heel–Face Turn: Started out as a generic bully, but as he comes to terms with his sexuality and becomes more comfortable with himself, he comes to be an ally of the Bad Kids, and even apologises for his past behaviour.
- Hot-Blooded: Prone to angry outbursts whenever he thinks someone is insulting him, Dayne or Coach Daybreak.
- Race Fetish: On the receiving end of this. Fathrathriel, an elf he met and slept with in Kei Lumennura, is "really weird about half-orcs". This makes Ragh extremely uncomfortable.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Especially apparent in D20 live, where a year of Jawbone's counseling, Kristen helping him figure out his sexuality, and the Bad Kids genuinely supporting him (while also holding him accountable for when he's rude), made him a much more open, kind, and happy person.
- Verbal Tic: Injects "dude" in every other sentence.
Biz Glitterdew
Biz Glitterdew
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"Guys like us don't really get a chance to be cool, you know what I mean?"
- Race: PixieClass: Wizard (School of Illusion)
Head of Aguefort's AV Club.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Biz becomes this for Adaine, who is instantly repulsed by his forward advances and insensitive attitude. When he says how he would have loved to put her in a palimpsest, The Bad Kids are immediately up to defend Adaine and quickly knock Biz out.
- Ambiguously Evil: The wording of what the Modify Memory spell did to him can imply that he wasn't willing to get in the conspiracy before, or that he was willing to be part of the conspiracy from the get-go, but that the spell affected what he remembered about the original mastermind.
Word of God has confirmed it's the latter. - Dogged Nice Guy: Thinks of himself as this, despite Adaine and everyone else's belief to the contrary.
- Evil All Along: He's part of the Palimpsest conspiracy, in order to profit from the girls trapped in there. Even though he's under the effect of a Modify Memory, this spell can't make someone do something they wouldn't otherwise consider, and he still went along the plan without interference from the spell.
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Under "suggestion" he goes through explaining and demonstrating how he would get Riz out of the palimpsest, freeing him in the process to his horror.
- Fall Guy: Was intended to become this when it's revealed that his evil plan to trap the girls in the palimpsest crystals was a fake memory implanted in his head by Aelwyn Abernant designed to frame him as the mastermind behind the conspiracy. However, Word of God is that he was intentionally part of the palimpsest conspiracy, and chose to be under the effect of the Modify Memory spell, to destroy any lead that could lead to failure.
- Fingore: Riz in both fury and intimidation, shoots off at least two of his fingers when asking what happened to the girls he put in the palimpsest and downloaded. After they realize his memories were fake, Riz apologetically tries to sew his fingers back on.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: None of the main characters seem to like him very much ; even Riz, who Biz seems the closest to, barely tolerates him and only keep him around because his technical expertise makes him the only one who can safely handle the palimpsests.
- Hate Sink: A creepy Entitled Bastard who objectifies women, disregards their status as their separate person, disrespects anyone he can get away with, like Gorgug, and though it was planted in his head by a spell, still went through the plan to kidnap 7 young girls.
- Nice Guys Finish Last: Uses this as a justification for trapping girls in the palimpsests in order to control them. Somewhat downplayed in the sense that the memory of that being his plan was fake, but Modify Memory isn't effective if it's used to make someone do something they wouldn't otherwise consider, so it's still a factor.Biz: Guys like us don't really get a chance to be cool, you know what I mean? […] And, you know, it's not fair. Hot guys get all the attention.
Riz: ... Are you giving me a nice guy speech right now? - Sincerity Mode: Admits that he "fucked up" in allowing Coach Daybreak to steal the palimpsest, actually evoking sympathy from the Bad Kids for a little bit.
- Too Clever by Half: He's tech-smart, but also very gullible and socially awkward.
Zayn Darkshadow
Zayn Darkshadow
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
Click here to see Zayn during Freshman Year
"I dunno, why don't we ALL just beat it?"
- Race: Drow ElfClass: Wizard (School of Necromancy)
A moody and edgy Aguefort student.
- Ambiguous Situation: Excatly who murdered Zayn is never explicitly stated however it can be inferred that since it was with a greatsword (and Coach Daybreak was found incapable of killing him) it leaves pretty much the only suspect as Dayne.
- Commonality Connection: His friendship with Adaine is furthered due to both having parents who were "elven assholes".
- Conveniently an Orphan: Mentioned by Sylvester as having no living relatives and was a child of the foster system until he sued for emancipation.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Depicted as a black-haired elf with blue-ish pale skin like that of a dead body.
- Goth: Zayn dresses in black, has a dour personality and spends most of his time hanging around the Cravencroft Cemetery.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite being part of the criminal ring that kidnapped young women and trapped them in palimpsests he cared deeply for his rat Edgar. The last thing he does before dying is freeing Edgar from his cage to make sure he got away safely. Subverted when we find out he wasn't a villain by choice.
- Forced into Evil: He was blackmailed into serving the Harvestmen group by Coach Daybreak.
- Jerkass: Not the most pleasant person and was involved in the palimpsest conspiracy and poisoning Arthur Aguefort.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Was not part of the Palimpsest conspiracy of his own volition(Coach Daybreak was paying for his apartment), and was dealing with a lot of baggage from his childhood. Once he's free of those (and a ghost, thus already "Peak Goth", meaning he doesn't have to act it anymore), he mellows out a ton and become a genuinely nice dude and a good friend of Adaine's.
- Our Ghosts Are Different: In "Prompocalypse" Adaine searches for him with the others, and he chooses to remain as a ghost and offers for Adaine to come over to the grave sometimes and just hangout.
- Token Good Teammate: Downplayed. He's not the only good member of Kalvaxus' minions or that was manipulated into his service, but he was the only one that was actually forced into it.
- Tragic Villain: His horrible home life has led him to sue for emancipation, which left him in precarious living conditions, the perfect hook for Coach Daybreak to use his large wealth to blackmail him into serving him. The happiest we've seen him (and probably that he's ever been) was after his death.
The Seven Maidens
An adventuring party consisting of the seven maidens captured to fulfill the prophecy about Kalvaxus. The members include Antiope Jones, Danielle Barkstock, Katja Cleaver, Sam Nightingale, Penny Luckstone, Ostentatia Wallace, Zelda Donovan.

Johnny Spells
Johnny Spells
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"WOAH woah woah woah... Watch the jacket, kid."
- Race: TieflingClass: Warlock (Pact of the Fiend)
A tiefling biker who runs a gang of dancers/criminals on the outskirts of Elmville.
- Butt-Monkey: Other than the one time Riz rolled a 9 to determine "this guy fuckin' rules", the majority of his time is getting shit on by the other characters for being irrelevant and being contractually obligated not to fuck.
- Can't Have Sex, Ever: One of the stipulations in the warlock pact he made with Gorthalax the Insatiable is that he wasn't allowed to get laid.
- Dance Battler: Bizarrely, his gang also moonlights as a dance crew. Outside of his criminal activities, Johnny Spells's weekly schedule was heavily dedicated to dance practice.
- Greaser Delinquents: Dresses and talks like a 1950s greaser, and the head of criminal biker gang.
- He's Back!: He returns in Blast From The Passed as a hellish specter while attacking Bill Seacaster's ship... only to immediately be launched off the ship without getting a chance to attack and spending all his time clambering back onboard.
- Pet the Dog: He commiserates with Riz over being picked on by others when they first meet, as one of the few people at first to actually treat him decently.
- Shout-Out: His gang's proclivity for dancing at other gangs references West Side Story.
- Vague Age: It's never actually specified how old he is, just that he's not in high school and is probably too old to still be dating high school girls
- Verbal Tic: Calls people "daddy-o." It's how Fig is able to impersonate him after they kill him and steal his crystal phone.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Reappears alongside his gang in Season 2's "Blast From the Passed." They were intended to be fought when the party was at level 2, and as a result the gang members are all defeated in a single turn while Johnny gets off a single Fire Bolt before being thrown off the ship.
Agent Worrel
Agent Angela Worrell
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
- Race: Half-Elf
A federal agent from the Council of Chosen and the leader of the juvenile department.
- Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Principal Aguefort brainwashes her after the Final Battle so she'll never be bothered by the illegal things his academy and students do.
- Heel–Face Brainwashing: After a hefty amount of brainwashing she is perfectly happy with the thought of the staff and students of Aguefort Adventuring Academy doing as many illegal things as they want.
- Hero Antagonist: She is an agent of the law but is trying to arrest the Bad Kids because of the crimes they've committed.
- Human Popsicle: Gets frozen in a block of ice during the final episode, although she is thawed out and brainwashed later.
- Jerkass Has a Point: As nasty as she is, she has a valid point about how the local authorities allow acts like car theft and murder to go unpunished because it is academy students doing it.
- Jurisdiction Friction: Holds Emlville Police Department in a lot of contempt and is constantly angry about their shortcomings.
- Lawful Stupid: She wants to make the Bad Kids face justice, however, their crimes are committed in self-defense. However, she makes a point that a hellish portal doesn't excuse cold blooded murder.
- Only Sane Man: She is shocked and appalled that the town is fine with the Bad Kids killing people just because they're in adventuring school and that's what adventurers do.
- Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: She has some legitimate points about how the Elmville Police Department has turned a blind eye to the crimes committed by Adventuring Academy students, unfortunately she is dead-set on making an example out of the Bad Kids who only took such extreme actions in the attempt to save a number of missing girls and prevent the apocalypse.

- Race: Djinn
An ice djinn and the owner of Basrar's Soda Fountain, Elmville's local ice-cream parlor.

- Freeing the Genie: Adaine does this for him in the epilogue to the first season, letting him make any wishes he wants. He gives a lampshade hanging on the idea of voluntarily working with them afterwards, though.
- I Owe You My Life: Averted and lampshaded. After Adaine frees him of his curse, he notes that the whole trope of voluntarily following the people who freed him, rather than living how he wants is... problematic and stupid.Basrar: You know, I do understand the trope of you free someone from their servitude and then they're like, wow, now I choose to serve you, but that's kind of bull. [...] No, for sure, like, thank you for my freedom, now I'm going to use that to live the life I want, you know?
- Ironic Hell: As it turns out, his curse is this, as he genuinely likes making ice cream, but wishes he could be able to do other things, too.
- Nice Guy: He is genuinely very nice, and far happier about it after being able to live as he likes.
- Our Genies Are Different: A genie only capable of granting ice cream-related wishes.
- Stepford Smiler: Seems happy, but the main characters pick up on a deep sadness beneath the façade. Also whenever he moves behind his shop's counter he can be heard sobbing very loudly. After Adaine frees him of his curse, he is much happier.
The Cubbys
Bud and Daisy Cubby
Played by: Brennan Lee Mulligan
"Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic, ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean? You guys want to make some bacon?"
- Race: Halflings
A cheerful halfling family who offer the kids a ride after a traffic accident.
- Big Damn Heroes: Bud and his whole family show up to break the Bad Kids out of jail near the end of the school year.
- Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: Bud and Daisy are staunchly anti-authority with a deep distrust of the police, and (politely) espouse the idea of violent resistance if necessary.Siobhan: (out-of-character) I think it's really cool that these nice halflings are, like, anarcho-socialists.
- Chekhov's Gunman: These helpful bystanders are just goofy one-off characters, right? Nope. They have a key part to play in helping the protagonists thwart Kalvaxus at the end of the season.
- Crazy-Prepared: Bud keeps a lit Molotov cocktail in his mailbag just in case he needs to fight authority on short notice.
- Everybody Has Standards: These Bomb-Throwing Anarchists condone the kidnapping of cops, but not the murder of cops.Bud: I'm not advocatin' that you kill a cop, alright? I'm not advocating that you put a pig down, I'm sayin' what you should do...
- Fantastic Racism: The victim of this. Daisy laments that, while they don't get it as bad as some races, halflings are disdainfully viewed by many as sticky-fingered thieves.
- Going Postal: Bud is a mailman who espouses revolutionary left-wing views, and later acts on them by shooting up a police station.
- Minnesota Nice: The Cubbys have the stereotypical "yah-and-you-betcha" accent to go with their down-to-earth jobs and overall politeness.
- Nice Guy: Bud and his wife Daisy are both extremely friendly to the kids, giving them a lift after they total Johnny Spells' stolen car and buying them ice cream at Besrar's. They also come to the rescue when the gang is arrested by Angela Worrell.
- Working-Class Hero: Bud's a mailman and Daisy is a waitress, which probably helped to mold their political philosophies.
