Sluggy Freelance is bursting with secondary characters, organizations, and other forces beyond Torg, Riff, Zoe, and Gwynn. Not only that, but Peter has shown a knack for pulling them back out of the past, or digging up the slightest suggestion of an idea to build an entirely new plotline about. The critically acclaimed That Which Redeems storyline shows how even the smallest detail - like the fact how the pinhole left behind doesn't lead to Sluggy Torg's world, but instead the 'Dimension of Lame' - can suddenly give rise to the most intricate plotline seen in recent times.
Thus, in an effort to help keep track of who is where doing what, I have composed the following list - a list of as many characters and organizations as I can think of, past and present. This could be useful in refreshing the mind when an old character is reintroduced. I have subdivided the list into various alliegances, and marked those who are dead with the colour red.
Without further ado, I give you the list of Sluggy.
Civilians: Civilians is the catchall category for anyone who isn't part of some sort of faction or doesn't owe alliegance to something huge. They are generally good guys, so the term civilian seemed appropriate - they are the ones who get caught in the crosshairs.
Acey
Among those killed during the second attack of the kittens, she was one of the few members of the Order to survive until the second part of the attack, but died soon therafter when Dart's ill-fated group was assaulted. Known as a 'club' and fairly tough, she nevertheless died pretty bloodily.
Amelia
A girl unfortunate enough to be turned into a pawn in a game of vampires, and even more unfortunate that the only people who could have saved her were Kent, Torg, and Sam. Needless to say, she was dead meat. Sam fed off of her due to her blood's high blood-alcohol levels, and she was unable to get help from people like Kent, who are morons, or people like Torg, who simply didn't keep track of her. She was eventually murdered and turned into a vampire to fool Sam into thinking he overdid it and now had a 'servant'. Sadly, there was no hope of salvation for her, as Arminius killed her.
Angela
The only other none-main-character who escaped the original attack of the kittens besides Bert, she lacked any of the psychological defences of Torg or Zoe and immeadietly went insane. She had a brief period of (arguable) sanity when she lived with Torg, but experiences with ghosts and Bert's pet cat drove her insane once again. She escaped from the second kitten attack, too, but was nothing more then a catatonic mess from the mental damage. Had a long-term, off-again on-again type relation with Dex, and probably suffered mentally most from seeing him die - slowly, and painfully, I might add.
Arminius
Though more then a tad paranoid, Arminius is a good vampire-hunter, despite his age. Helping to eliminate many servants of the greater Vampires, he is still frustrated by two great curses - firstly, the knowledge that the true vampires are still out there, and every vampire he slays is nothing more then bludgeoning an already-murdered person (meaning every vampire he meets is a defeat, not a victory, since they're already dead). Secondly is his skeptical nephew Kent, who sees him as nothing more then a kooky, mass-murdering goth-hater. Last seen alive and well, arming up for another fight with the vampires. Has met Sam and Torg, but doesn't really know what to think of them. He does know Riff, though, as an Arms dealer.
Bard
The bard who wrote the epic tale of the adventures of Torg and Zoe against the army of Deadels. Actually managed to survive the whole thing and put it into a story. A bit of a skeptic and more then occasionally problematic.
General Benedict
The frustrated leader of King Lohvo's army, he was infuriated by the stupidity of his king, who refused to let him recreate Goftron into an entire army of super-robots, and bascially made him a pointless figure. Tried to escalate the war in hopes of forcing the king to improve the army, but that backfired when he was turned into a monster of Zorlon Gola. Not that much of a big deal, though, since he just got drunk and passed out.
Berk
Warrior from the future sent back to stop a terrible war from ever happening, by halting a demon summoning. He failed, and died, but his knowledge allowed Riff and Torg to stop the summoning and push back K'z'k's plans, for now. He spoke way too much slang, and seemed like a decent type of guy considering how much stress he'd be under.
Bert
Bert was Torg's mildly psychotic friend with a crotch fixation, who was doing art at college and who was actually a fairly decent person, underneath the unusual habits he portrayed. Inexplicably, he survived the first kitten encounter - through no effort of his own beyond luck - and went on to room with Torg and Riff in the haunted house. Death, ghosts, and satanic kittens had no effect whatsoever on him mentally, but his fate was sealed when the kittens struck again. Despite a spirited defence, he died fighting along with Dart, Lucy, and others. Unfortunately, his soul did not know rest until later, when Torg and Riff saw to it that the souls were freed from their imprisonment in the well.
'Beth'
Although her real name was Sara Elizabeth Kolby, 'Beth' was a ghost who haunted Kesandru House for decades after the bloody end to a love-triangle including her. Unlike most spirits, she was not sucked into the well of souls because of her strong will from the emotional nature of her death. Even after her body was laid to rest and her spirit avenged, she couldn't leave the house until Kesandru's wards finally served their purpose. Due to the hard work of the heroes, her sould remained intact and - we assume - floated to it's finally holy resting place.
Also, side note, she appears to have a knack for picking bad relations, since one was with Henry, a nutjob who got her killed, and the other was with Sam, who is... Sam.
Dr. Bill
One of the twin doctors for a cloning company, who have been moved to Kesandru's house. Like his twin, he is a weak-willed uber-nerd who faints at the sight of women. *UPDATE* His brain-bug creation ate his brain and made him a zombie. It appears he was also part of a K'Z'K worshipping cult, and his current location is unkown.
Bitparte
Another member of the Order, he survived the first part of the second attack of the kittens, only to die when Riff's tactical error took place. As his name suggests, he was quite unremarkable.
Bob
The host for Skippy, still imprisoned by the accursed demon. We no nothing of him, since we've only seen him possessed.
Mrs. Bobolly
An unfortunate woman who nearly saw her children and herself killed by a psychotic rabbit, she was last seen hanging over a pool of pirahnas along with her kids for no other crime then telemarketing - which, let's be honest, if you think deserves death, you are an awful, awful person. We assume she is still alive, since she is a Mrs. So when her husband arrives it's probable that he would let them down without killing them. Unless he's like Sam, that is.
Brie Meighsaton
A ghost who was to marry Henry, but found out about his affection for Beth and had him kill her. Her ghost haunted the house afterwards, because Henry botched it and locked her in there as well. Was sucked into the well of souls, but released with all the other ghosts.
Sherrif Bugafe
An old satanist and one of the caretakers of the kittens, he was on to what was going on when the kittens didn't get their milk and started rampagining. Was killed, however, by said kittens.
Chaz
Chaz is Torg's enchanted sword, which he got from the past when he fought the Army of Deadels and K'z'k. It is powered by the blood of the innocent, which is awful, but when powered it can slay even the most powerful demons. It is neither good nor evil, and although intelligent, is impressively unbiased in moral issues. Still in Torg's possession.
Cindy
A casualty of the first kitten attack, apparently a ditzy girl who was torn bodily in half and died very soon thereafter. It appears she wasn't missed much, as even as she died, Max found the stomach to crack a 'topless' joke, and a couple years later Torg couldn't even remember who she was (You have to see a lot of people die before you cannot even differentiate between them).
Clem
Went on one date with Zoe back years ago, and now sees her as his girlfriend. Admittedly, despite his drawling voice, and tendency to carry around roadkill, he's still done quite a lot with his life, and by now should probably be off being a proffessor somewhere or some such thing.
Clown Commander Jack
The psychotic leader of the Order, who helped the kittens destroy their milk so that they could rampage, he appears to be responsible for the entire fiasco - although I suspect that his message from 'god' was maybe from the kittens, or Satan himself, as a way of releasing the evil upon all in it's path. Either way, he thankfully died most painfully when the kittens flew into his helicopter.
Creepsy
Creepsy was the landlord of Riff and Torg's house, but revealed himself to be a Raythe when they were catapulted into hell. He managed to survive, and was interested in making back to the surface (solely for himself), but was eaten by a terrible beats of the unknown.
Crystal
An oddity, in that she is a longtime secondary character of little real importance who has yet to die. A bartender at the hero's favourite local drinking establishment, and occasionally a sympathetic ear to their sorrows, she has miraculously avoided being eaten by Aylee, damned by a demon, slaughtered by kittens, launched through time and space, kidnapped by an evil corporation, or any of the things that usually mark a member of those who hang around Torg and Riff for long.
Dart
A member of the ill-fated holy order who atted to push back Satan's kittens. Although somewhat befitting the classical war cliche of young tough with mild heroic streak, he showed he was deserving of perhaps an even higher title when he tried to drive off the kittens using nothing but two shotguns - useless weapons, and he was firing at the hip, too. Fooled by the order's psychotic clown leader, he tried to rally the survivors and work with Riff to save those that remained, but unfortunately, he still died alongside Acey, Bert, Lucy, and others.
Daycare children
Riff runs a daycare for spoilt or otherwise troublesome children. Seven of these children we've seen, and they were quite troublesome, until framed for robbery that is.
Dex
An attactive college crush of Zoe's, who appeared a pretty decent fellow. Unfortunately, he was part of the original camping trip that met the kittens of satan. He lost his arm early on, and eventually was killed. His death helped drive Angela insane, but Zoe and Torg were relatively unaffected after a few days. Momentarily appeared to be still alive just before the second kitten attack, it turned out to be a ruse.
Donna
Donna was an unfortunate pizza woman who brought the pizzas Gwynn bought with the money she made off of the Halloween party. She was relatively unremarkable as a person, but commendable for not going insane when the house was plunged into hell and her ghost friend Mindy floated through the wall. Oddly, she seems completely unaffected, but then again, she's still around and may yet show signs of insanity or come to a grisley end. Right now we don't know where she is, but we assume alive.
Ed
Miraculously survived the second kitten attack, and now lives with Flaky and helps take care of the kittens so they don't go on another rampage. Was a wounded member of the Order.
Fay
A college friend of Zoe who teased her for her crush on Dex, she was also one who died during the ill-fated camping trip - quite unfortunately, too, as she was taken by suprise and in a matter of moments torn to shreds.
Flaky
The current guardian of the kittens, she was present at the first kitten attack but was damned to guard them for the rest of her life. She is stuck running the general store, but needs to keep a steady flow of milk for the cats or else they will begin killing people. During the second attack, her supply of milk was destroyed, but now she remains, once again guarding the kittens with the help of two of the only known survivors of the kitten attacks from the 'Order'.
Mr. and Mrs. Glee
Two of the Satanic Kitten's guardians, whose job it was to provide the kittens with milk for fifty years, until there wasn't enough and the kittens went on a rampage - killing them and the other caretakers.
Lord Grater
Lord Grater was an evil general guy from the Punyverse, who got trapped with Torg, Riff, and Princess-Princess. They inadvertedly stopped Goftron from saving the galaxy from the Cascade Missile, thus destroying the universe. Lord Grater even allowed Torg and Riff to take the escape pod (Thus dooming him and Princess Princess) in the hopes of getting a kiss. Which he did not.
Greg
Greg was a troublesome cannibal who tried to eat Torg and Riff, but ended up being eaten by his councilor. Very unusual and twitchy, and generally unpleasent.
Dr. Haught-Sheik
One of the victims of the first kittne attack, who tried to help and almost made it out alive except for a kitten at the last minute which finally got her. Infuriated by what people called her, she is now dead.
Jaffe
A member of the Order who escaped the slaughter of his squad near the very beginning of the story. He fled, wounded, into a general store - a foolish and selfish mistake, since died shortly therafter, and he drew the kitten to him, who procceeded to slay everyone in the building but Lucy, who was saved by Riff (for a while, before her death later). So yeah, quite a little chain reaction.
Jaya
A little girl who was saved by Torg when she went adrift in a storm, and who also contracted the deadly nanites from Kiki. Luckily, she was saved from that too when Shlock finally got around to fixing the problem. She also probably has the greatest life expectancy of anyone in the strip, because nothing would drop Pete's popularity faster then killing off a little girl. Sure, old people and young adults, they can be ripped up by cats or have their souls sucked out by demons, but no one wants to see young people get hurt. Anyways, that's besides the point. Current locations and activities unknown, although if Pete ages his characters at all she must be in her teens by now.
Jenny
Riff's office assisstant and none too good at it, she is fairly callouse, and apparently cares little for Riff's business. She managed to wreck his finances and had to go on the lamb eventually - probably for more then the one murder, considering how many murders must go unsolved in a place rampant with demons, vampires, and the like. Current wherabouts unknown, but it's suspected somewhere in Japan.
Joe
Joe was a salty old sailor who told terrifying tales to Torg and his friends at the dock, while they were on holiday. It was he who prophecised death for Jaya when she fell in, and he was wrong. Still alive, though, unlike almost everyone else who's come into contact with our heroes, so props to him.
Juan
At first it seemed as though he'd survive the Kittens, but was killed when three flew through a window and into him. He was a wounded member of the Order at his time of death, and seemed more or less unremarkable.
Madame Jubjube
A medium who is also a petty thief, whom the group called in several times to try and help them with the ghosts in their house. She did her best to con them out of their stuff, but it generally didn't work.
Kesandru
Although evil, I can think of no other category to place him. A psychotic mass-murderer who collected souls for power, he planned to escape the realm of Raythes by having his house come and get him, then ejecting the souls into hell to both catapult him back up and also as a peace-offering. His plan was foiled, and we can only imagine what hellish tortures he is enduring.
Ken
The unfortunate Sherrif who died at the hands of the kittens, he tried ineffectively to stop them with his gun - which has been proven not to work. Still, give him credit for trying, he died valiantly when a kitten jumped on his face and tore him to bits.
Kent
The nephew of Arminius, he exhibits few of his uncle's more virtuous traits and instead is more of a foul, intolerent snob. Worked with Zoe for a time, before getting fired, and might be currently dating Nana - an odd pairing, admittedly, but considering Nana's will it's unlikely he'll be getting out of it any time soon.
Kimmy Sue
A girl both Riff and Torg had a crush on, and one both tried to date. They both failed, and now she is married and has kids. Oddly enough, beyond a killer smurf, she saw very little of their crazy adventures.
Kullan
Kullan was a vampire of the Lysindra circle, but was killed by Sam when Sam decided to save his friends. Not all that interesting, since he was just some vampire guy.
Kruller
One of the two sent to investigate all the people Aylee killed and ran over, she was skeptical of everything, even after being beamed up and anally probed. It is unknown where she is now or what she's doing.
Lara Kroft Macaroni and Cheese
The Tomb-Raider woman who saved Torg and Riff when they became trapped in an egyptian pyramind over the holidays. There is little to say about her, since she filled a humorous purpose and was gone.
Leo
Zoe's boyfriend for a time, he couldn't handle the sort of life she led - one where ghosts and demons are real, and frequently cause chaos and threaten to kill them all. After an incident in a demonic dimension, he accidentally punched Zoe in the face, which soured the relation, and eventually they broke up for good.
Lodoze
Lodoze was an immortal bounty hunter who could grow back anything he lost - even his brain. He hunted Bun Bun, first for the bounty but then for satisfaction, but was finally destroyed when the punyverse exploded.
King Lohvo Proan
A fairly foolish king of the Punyverse, he waged a badly-planned war against the Zorlons that consisted of hoping Goftron could handle the Zorlon's whole army. Luckily, the Zorlons were foolish as well, and so the strategy worked. His lack of foresight probably resulted in the destruction of the universe, considering he should have known to equip his own military somehow to stop Zorlon Gola's plan to use the Cascade Missile. He's dead now, with the whole Punyverse, so that's that.
Dr Lorna
Dr Lorna is Riff's mum, and does a talkshow where she shouts at people and demeans their personal problems. Generally speaking, she is a repulsive human being and I have no idea how she got a radio show, but she is still alive.
Lucy
An innocent killed in the second attack of the kittens, she became involved when Riff saved her life from an attacking kitten who killed her friends and destroyed a local store. Unlike everyone else present, who was either a member of the order or was somehow drawn by the siren call of the vicious kittens, she was just someone who wandered in an thus served little purpose except trying to survive. Massacared quite bloodily, along with Dart, Bert, and others, when the kittens struck to take out three of the five caretakers, and her death might have had a seriously adverse effect on Riff, considering it was by his error thet kittnes managed to strike when they did.
Luther
A Mercian soldier, he also worked as the ferryman to the cave of Yiffi. He also got a nifty hat by having his finger cut off to trick Torg into thinking Zoe was dead.
Max
A friend of Dex who was there during the first attack of the kittens. Managed to escape and survive right up until the end, when he kicked the last cat - effectively getting him killed, but saving his friends.
Magon
An advisor to the Mercian warlord, he was cruel and ruthlessly efficient, showing little mercy to even those he liked. He wanted Torg to stand in for the true Mercian Warlord, but was killed by Lysinda.
Mr. Middleman
A man who finds high-paying and utterly confusing jobs for Riff to do. Torg used to work for him too, but has moved on to advertising. A mysterious figure who smokes a lot, his missions tend to sound like he wants to kill people, but he doesn't actually believe in violence and is suprised when others misinterpret 'dirt nap', or other expressions.
Mike
Mike was a friend of Gwynns' who worked for the clone Aylee, and began to suspect something was wrong when he saw how extensive security was and how unusual the books were. He planned to escape and confide these facts with someone, but sadly, made the very fatal error of going to see Aylee's clone when she called - who prompty murdered and ate him. The only upside of his death was that Gwynn saw it on a security camera and realized what was going on. Later, Mike's discoveries helped destroy Hereti-Corp, so he didn't die completely in vain.
Min
Zoe's younger sister, Min is a tad obsessive about relations, but her problems are normal compared to her older sister's. Has a bit of a crush on Riff, and once let Riff, Torg, and Gwynn stay for a while until they found a new home.
Mindy
Mindy died a most ignomious death when Lord Horribus's upset stomach forced him to use the toilet, which she was occupying at the time. She must have pretty awful friends, considering her death went unnoticed, was not reported to the authorities, and no detective nor investigation was ever deployed to locate her whereabouts. Reappeared as a ghost when the house was yanked into hell, and expressed anger at her friend Donna for not saving her, but was dumped into the well of souls for being annoying. Fortunately for her, the ghosts managed to escape all right, so we can assume she did too.
Muffy
A weird one, Muffy was a character based after Buffy the Vampire slayer, the joke being that she was a baker instead and cooked vampires to death. Crossed paths with Sam, who - although useful for clearing up her misconception regarding cooking vampires and for defeating the local vampiric threats - ended up doing more harm then good, killing Muffy's friends and boyfriend through clumsiness. I've left out the rest of the characters from this plotline, since it was really supposed to be a joke about Buffy anyways.
Muldy
One of the two people sent to investigate all the people Aylee ran over and killed, he was suscpiscious of everything - which in the end basically made him right, since this is Sluggy Freelance. He's still alive at this time.
The Mummy
The Mummy was a mummy haunting the tomb that Riff and Torg got trapped in, but despite how slow he was he had no intent to hurt them. They sat around and played cards for a while until the guys were saved by Lara Kraft. He's still there, I guess.
Nana
An obsessive goth with a misunderstanding of camo and heavy stalking habits, she is a dentist and was once in a relation with Riff. Riff left to Antartica without telling her, and she later involved herself with Kent - easily the weirdest match ever. Even when she saw real vampires with her own eyes, she was mad enough that she just gathered up their teeth instead of trying to do something more useful. Her current situation is unknown, however, she might still be with Kent.
Oasis
No longer quite as insane as she used to be, Oasis is currently wandering the earth, trying to figure out just what she is. Originally a project by Hereti-Corp taken by Doctor Steve, it is still not quite known if she is a robot or a human being. Whatever she is, she followed every single order of Steve's without question - even with regards to her very emotions and personal thoughts. The last order she recieved was that she loved Torg, and after Steve's death she continues to obsess over him.
Every attempt at reason has failed, although she is currently a tad more sane and perhaps more open to explinations. Earlier on she hunted Zoe viciously for 'taking' Torg from her, although she seems off that. Whatever she is, she has a built-in 'override' to kill Hereti-corp and anyone involved with them.
Osric
The wizard Torg and Zoe met after a dimensional/time travelling mishap, who helped them use the book of Gud to once again defeat K'Z'K and stop his plans for world domination. He seemed relatively wise and good when compared to the rest of the time's inhabitants, and although I don't know I think he and that plotline was a spoof of 'Bruce Campbell and the Army of Darkness', so I won't bother rewriting all the characters since they were drawn mostly from that souce. Killed by a brick just before reaching the book of Gud.
Percy
Percy is a carnivorous mini-woolly mammoth who eats humans and was created by Hereti-Corp. A friend of Aylee, he once saved her, Torg, and Riff from being eaten by cannibals, and later helped Torg understand Hereti-Corp's evil plan for an army of Aylees. Still alive, and probably still eating people
Dr. Phill
One of the twin doctors for a cloning company, who have been moved to Kesandru's house. Like his twin, he is a weak-willed uber-nerd who faints at the sight of women.*UPDATE* His brain-bug creation ate his brain and made him a zombie. It appears he was also part of a K'Z'K worshipping cult, and his current location is unkown.
Princess-Princess
Her entire universe was destroyed when an idiot leader of an evil race launched a cascade missile into a star. The explosion that occured annihilated everything, rebounded back as energy, then annihilated everything again. As a character she was exhasperated by the ridiculous people and ridiculous things she had to put up with, and infuriated when she learnt they were left to die in the blast because of Lord Grater.
Reggie
Your stereotypical stoner, he hung out with Flaky, but was killed during the kitten attack. Y'know, writing all these deaths gets me thinking - wouldn't anyone come looking for all these people? A local doctor is murdered, along with more then half-a-dozen young people and several elderly folke, and their bodies weren't even buried - just lying around. Don't these people have social security numbers, and pay taxes? Someone would have noticed, you'd think. But I digress.
Reggie
Another Reggie, this one worked for Lorna, but was fired from her radio chat-show for mixing up various calls. A fairly unremarkable character, he nevertheless showed a stoic resistance to the generally cruel and loud comments of Lorna, so he must have had some spirit.
Sam (alledgedly, 'the man')
It was quite difficult to decide if I should classify Sam as a Civilian, or put him under vampires - but despite his irresponsible behaviour, he generally doesn't kill people or work with other vampires, and he means somewhat well, so I guess he's a civilian.
Sam lost a great deal of what little sanity he had when he became a vampire, but fortunately remained in control enough to retain just enough of his former self to keep him from becoming a mindless killer. Some might say this is because of his incredible willpower, I would argue it is the opposite - he is not a suitable candidate for vampirism, meaning his mind was relatively unaffected. Sadly, he usually chooses to use his powers to do nothing more then irresponsibly pick up women, putting them at phenominal risk as targets for other vampires (see: Amelia).
Sasha
Sasha was, for a time, Riff's girlfriend. Oddly comfortable with his crazy plans, and even helping him with his inventions, Sasha and Riff seemed a perfect match. However, after a long incident where Hereti-corp tried to destroy them all, and where Sasha was nearly killed, she finally decided it was better if she left. They left on good terms, however, even though Riff was clearly unable to deal with the situation.
Shelly
Shelly was a friend of someone at the Halloween party (I'd guess Torg) who came dressed as a Hot dog. A hungry Aylee ate her alive, claiming she couldn't be blamed for confusing a hot-dog costume for a real hot-dog. Apparently the blood, kicking feet, and screams of agony were not clues enough. Apparently, no one noticed or cared that she died, so she must have been either a horrible person or very shy. Either way, she's dead.
Doctor Shlock
Against all reason, Doctor Shlock isn't dead. He was a doctor who worked extensively with inflatable technology, but also knew a great deal about the going ons of the time, and his 'help' has been useful in doing everything from stopping Hereti-Corp from cloning Aylee to stopping the plague of the future from striking in the new Millenium to travelling through time and space to save Torg and Zoe.
Originally, he fled his time after Berk for fear of Berk's failure and the inevitable collapse of society in the face of demon assault. Now that time has changed, he is more or less stuck in this alternate timeline, but he isn't complaining too loud - despite many people's best attempts, he's still alive.
Sid
A surviving member of the Order who suffered greatly during the attack of the kittens but managed not to die. He now lives with Flake helping to keep the kittens from attacking again.
Smit
Another casualty of the first kitten attack, he died very early on when his head was torn off. We had little chance to get to know him, but it appears he might have had a 'thing' for Cindy. She's dead now too.
Snootier-waiter-guy
The waiter from Snootier, he was in fact very snooty and still is, despite working at the burger-meister. He enjoyed mocking Torg and his dates, that is, until Oasis showed up one night and destroyed the entire restaurent. That hasn't stoped his snarky comments, though.
Steve Uozin
The comedic spoof of the Crocodile Hunter, who travelled the world taking pictures of demons and tagging them and such. Was turned into a demon then sent back to the dimension of pain, where his antics continued unabated. Currently a fused part of a being who rules the dimension of grief.
Todd
Todd was a friend of somone's at the halloween party who was also eaten by Aylee, along with Shelly. Aylee once again tried to claim it was the costume that tricked her, but as Todd was dressed as a urinal cake, we can only imagine that she just felt like eating him. Perhaps he was standing nearby Shelly, a witness? Perhaps her date? As he is eaten, we will never know.
The Traipsy Brothers
Two old satanists who served as the caretakers for the eighteen kittens of satan for decades, only to be killed when they ran out of milk and the kittens went on a rampage. Both considerably grumpy and resentful of each other.
Weatherman Stan
The lead pilot of Goftron and more then a bit full of himself, he mostly took the job as part of an idea to see Princess-Princess naked when her costume changed. It worked, though, so you have to give him some credit. Died when the punyverse exploded.
Wilburn
A dark, shadowy Raythe, Wilburn is now free to wander the world after freeing the spirits in the Soul Well. He doesn't seem all that evil, or powerful, but his current location is unkown, so he might bec causing trouble.
Zoe's dad
A whole lot more kind and understanding then Zoe's mum, he seems a quiet sort who intervenes here and there to keep Zoe's mum from driving her into the ground.
Zoe's mum
A lot more tyrannical and obsessive then Zoe's dad, she tends to fear for her children an unnecessary amount. Is also thankfully oblivious to everything Zoe does, or she'd flip.
Zorgon Gola
The psychotic leader of the Zorgons, he destroyed the Punyverse when his plan to lure Goftron into a trap with the cascade missile backfired. Known for his comically large lips and no pants, Zorgon was still a dark lord despite all that.
Vampires: Vampires are an oddity, since in a place of demons and super-corporations with vast interests, they would appear to be the perfect pawns for stronger beings. However, it appears the demons lack any real organization, so perhaps that is why the far craftier vampires are allowed to roam free. They are organized into a handful of small circles, but anything short of wiping out a circle is a waste of time as so long as one vampire remains it can rebuild the circle - and every vampire which joins was once a person, only murdered, so destroying just one vampire is only an invitation for them to kill someone new.
Lysinda
Apparently once quite a figurehead in vampire society, Lyianda and her entire circle (minus Sam) was destroyed by an avenging Riff and a treacherous Sam. She had been around for hundreds of years, and developed a fittingly soulless personality. Staked by Zoe and left out in the sun with the rest of her minions.
Grabrijan
Servant to a much more powerful Vampire, Philinnon, Grabrijan was a vicious and blunt instrument so far as vampires go. He tried to stage Sam's first servant for his own purposes, including the death of Arminius but that backfired. Currently properly dead, along with his circle.
Gary
A Vampire of the Lysinda circle, slain along with the others during Riff's rescue.
Philinnon
A very powerful vampire, although it is unknown just where she fits in their heirarchy (At the top? Near the top? Just how many vampires are there?). She has many Vampire lackeys, and owed much to the now-dead Lysinda circle. With the combination of high status and Vampire powers, her ego has been flying high, which cost her strategically with Arminius. Still around, and plotting revenge against Sam and Arminius.
Sylvia
A Vampire of the Lysinda circle, slain along with the others during Riff's rescue.
Val
Hers is a sad tale. The beloved of a medieval warlord, she became weak in her grief when Lysinda arranged his death. She gladly joined Lysinda to stop the pain, but the situation became worse when she met Torg, who was practically identical physically to her lost husband. Torg felt some guilt when he travelled back in time, because he met Val and wanted to save her, but couldn't. It is unknown where her soul rests now, although for a time Mr. Squeaky Bobo faked being her to try and get Torg to kill himself.
Winnona
A Vampire of the Lysinda circle, slain along with the others during Riff's rescue.
Demons: The demons appear to be various factions, fighting for power amongst themselves so much that they rarely have time to venture into mortal relams. The irony of their position in the comic was that until 'That which Redeems', the demons were a joke - a laughing stock, something which came after Torg every now and again with humerous results (minus the occasional death, see: Mindy). However, demons are not jokes, and when the Demon King rallies them they finally reveal their true essence - pure, pure evil. Also, since this is the demon part they are not in alphabetical order. How Evil.
Satan
Satan is a difficult one to place. Although we might think Satan would automatically rule all evil, it appears he might just be another faction - albeit, a powerful one. Still plotting in Hell.
Terribus
Horribus's younger brother is constantly trying to usurp power from someone - anyone - for his own purposes. Comparatively weak and teacherous, he is still a fairly potent - if egotistical - force.
Horribus
Horribus might be dead, or he might not be. Obsessed for years with hunting down and destroying Torg for escaping, he failed many times. Eventually, he lead an army from the Dimension of Pain into the Dimension of Lame in an effort to find Torg, but ruined the invasion through his own obsessive nature. Finally punished by being hurled into a pit, his current state is unknown but probably really painful.
Mosp
Originally a woman of some realm long-ago conquered, she allowed the demons to take her city in the hope of escaping with her loved one. Unfortunately, he died. A wizard, infuriated with her actions, cursed her into joining the demons and robbed her of her mouth - she could not voice her pain. Cursed thusly, she had no choice but to join Horribus, but things changed when she was ordered to slay Torg, but instead Torg saved her. Feeling the stirrings of guilt and the need for redemption (tying into the story's theme) she helped Torg succeed at freeing the Goddess at the cost of her own life - in a way, redeeming her soul.
Isp and Osp
Originally a pair of small demon archer things, they were bound to Mosp when she was turned into a demon. Irritaiting and useless, they didn't want anything to do with Mosp, but couldn't do much about it anyways.
The Demon King
It appears the Demon King is the ruler of all demon factions, perhaps even Satan. At the very least, the Dimensions of Pain and Grief bow to him, and with him having banished the Goddess once before it appears internal strife is the only thing keeping him from covering all the dimensions in a new, more terrible darkness then ever before. Torg set back his plans, however, and injured him greatly - Torg is likely to be the first target of this enraged and motivated Demon King, who now once more has a common foe to rally the demon armies against - the Goddess, her realm of Nice, and the insolent mortal who set it all in motion.
Reakk
Reakk is a simplistic, stupid demon. At first, he came off as funny - his antics were practically cute, and certainly amusing to watch - but after the invasion of the Dimension of Lame his true Demon qualities were laid bare, as he ripped people to shreds and devoured their souls. He is a soulless being of evil, nothing more.
Psyk
The new servant of the Demon King, Psykosis is leagues more efficient then Horribus was. With his superior intellect and already-impressive demon strength, he is likely to lead the Demon King's forces quickly to expand his power. Unlike Horribus, whom Psyk served for so many years, Psyk is free of obssessions and knows exactly what he must do to win - which he intends to do as soon as possible, for with the return of the Goddess, good is suddenly a threat again.
The kittens
Satan's eighteen kittens, they require a serving of milk a night or they will rampage and slaughter everything in their path until they do. Invulnerable to normal weapons, they may still possess daemonic weaknesses, but Riff has yet to test any of his anti-demon weapons on them (see: K'z'k)
K'z'k
That death mark is tenuous at best, for K'z'k seems to be unstoppable. Three times he has tried to conquer the world - when he originally possessed Gwynn, when he travelled into the past and was defeated, and when Riff built a robot and Gwynn cast K'z'k finally into a gaping maw of oblivion. A soul collector by nature, he lost the souls he had gathered when slain for the second time. It is unknow what state he is in now.
Skippy
A possessing demon who spent some time with K'z'k during his third attempt to take power, skippy appears in control of his host but has yet to do anything. *UPDATE* It appears he is plotting some long-winded prophecy to bring back K'Z'K, but he's still possessing Bill. Whatever it is, it's mysterious and seems to be easily hurt by Zoe's presence. It might even involve the book of E-ville.
Sweral
Sweral is odd for a demon - basically just a humanoid with a few swirls on his body, hence the name. As a fairly junior demon, he and Tryka spent most of their time watching the viewing pool and avoiding Tryka's mom. Possibly the least vicious of demons, he seems more likely to be snarky then murderous.
Tryka
Tryka is a junior demon along with Sweral, and thus they're not allowed to do much of the actual demon work. She has a tendency to eat people's pets, probably a learned behaviour, since her mum kept eating her sisters. She spends her days doing menial jobs with Sweral and avoiding her mum at all costs.
Stryka
Tryka's older sister who was apparently a great demon warrior, but was eaten by her own mother.
Bubbamonicus
Bubba was a demon of the aristocracy, and incredibly powerful. Not quite strong enough to stand up to Torg armed with Chaz, however, when the two met during the invasion of the Dimension of Lame.
Chilus
A soul-collecting demon who has just recently possessed Meander, Chilus created a cult to worship K'Z'K and bring him back. She was behind the bug-zombie plot, and in her escape latched onto Meander, where she now appears to be scheming alongside Skip.
The Dimension of Lame: Many people mock the ways of the dimension of lame and it's people, and despise them for their weakness and inability to so much as defend themselves. The problem lies in the fact that they have innocence in abundance, as Torg said, but it is not tempered with wisdom or intelligence. Foolishly misunderstanding the tenents of their belief and thinking that there is a noneviolent solution to every problem (demons being one of the things you cannot reason with), they are not bad people and do not deserve scorn, for they are simply ignorant, and we in our dimension exhibit much worse and more barbaric ignorance without the excuse that they have - being that they are a controlled dimension. Nevertheless, I doubt we have seen the last of them.
The Goddess
Long ago defeated, the Goddess was recently liberated and now plans to rebuild her strength and put a stop to the demonic menace that have ravaged the good people of the multiverse for too long. Basing her operations in the innocent lands of the Dimension of Lame might seem foolish at first, but they provide half of the necessary power she needs from the attitude, and the rest she can perhaps teach them - if being a Goddess is worth anything, you'd think she could conjur up a little holy mojo to reintepret the basic language of their beliefs to allow them to help her defend all of existance, it's not like she's got any heavenly host left to do it for her.
Alternate Riff
Riff is still an emotionally vulnerable and nervous person, but in this dimension he lacks regular Riff's usually rough defences to protect him from heartbreak and sorrow. Thus, when his friend Torg died and Torg's lost love Zoe sank into depression, he couldn't handle it and reached out into the multiverse for a new Torg, setting off a series of events that almost resulted in the destruction of his world and got him cursed into a demon. He still has time to redeem himself for the death of his friends and the damage he has done, since his inventions work better than reular Riff's, so perhaps the goddess can put him to use.
Alternate Gwynn
Alternate Gwynn is nothing like regular Gwynn, probably because their vastly different magic books each completely altered their souls and basic characteristics to fit their differing philosophies. For one, it appears that alternate Gwynn has no attraction whatsoever to alternate Riff, which is odd considering alternate Riff is basically just like regular Riff. Alternate Gwynn has magical powers of considerable renown, and it was through her help that Torg managed to drive back the demons - although, she wasn't strong enough to save Zoe, and she certainly isn't strong enough to save her world from destruction if Psyk tries to take it again. She could definetly benefit from a meeting with regular Gwynn, if only to better understand the nature of their powers, but more so that they can appreciate their own differences.
Alternate Bun-Bun
Not at all suprising, alternate Bun-Bun is the most innocent, kind, loving little creature you could possibly meet. The utter opposite of regular Bun-Bun, in fact, I expect regular Bun-Bun would brutally murder Alternate Bun-Bun if they met, mostly on grounds of him not liking being copied.
Alternate-Alternate Torg
What at first seemed like Alternate Torg, turned out to be from yet another dimension (apparently, the dimension of Jerks, but judge for yourself). This Torg is underlies a main character trait of regular Torg - namely, that regular Torg cares, he just doesn't express it often because usually he's being detatched to protect himself. Alternate-Alternate Torg was what Torg would be without any emotions whatsoever, a stark difference.
Alternate-Alternate Kiki
Kiki's polar opposite and a demon. Kiki is from the same dimension as Alternate Alternate torg, and the two were pulled to the Dimension of Lame when that Riff felt awful for the loss of their real Torg and Kiki.
Alternate Bert
Very different from regular Bert, alternate Bert was strangely French, obsessed with spleens, and was also the most violent man his plane could produce - violent because he advocated throwing food at the demons. He was a jerk, violent or not, for sticking an 'eat me' sign on Alt-Zoe's back in the hopes of escaping, along with leaving his 'resistance' people behind to get eaten.
Alternate Greg
The Alternate version of the cannibal Greg, this Greg didn't eat people, but tended to shape his rice-cakes into heads before eating them. He served Alternate Gwynn, and tried to fight the demons, only to be overriden by the enforced 'nice-ness' of the dimension of lame. He died when - near the end of the invasion - Chaz went flying through the air and impaled him. Although awful, it turned out to be vital, as it powered up Chaz for the fight ahead.
Alternate Zoe
Alternate Zoe, just like Alternate Riff, was the same as regular Zoe on the inside, the only difference really being a more positive outlook. In fact, she was more like regular Zoe then Alternate Riff was like regular Riff, since when she was around Torg there was pretty much no difference between the two beyond that regular Zoe probably would have fought back. She fell in love with Torg because her Torg had been killed, and the two spent half a year together in hiding, trying to escape and fight the demons. Finally, when their chance came to stop the demons and set things right, alternate Zoe was killed by Lord Horribus - almost bringing Torg's world down around his head. The only consolation that can be given is that with the return of the goddess, her soul is most likely with her real Torg now, and they are much happier.
Hereti-Corp: Although defeated, for now, in their hey-day Hereti-corp was a serious threat. A consortium of vicious plotters and schemers, it was in their plans to launch world domination, but they were foiled. It's surviving members scattered and weak, they still possess some power and could be plotting anything in the darkness... admittedly, it appears to be the darkness of a burger-meister.
Chen
Chen was the fall-guy when Hereti-Corp's scandal broke and the company imploded. He was a high-level schemer who managed to avoid getting killed during the chaos when Aylee and her clones tore up the surrounding area. Is now imprisoned.
Cloney
Cloney was a clone of Aylee created by Doctor Shlock, who took Aylee's place and became a diabolical front for Hereti-Corp. Vicious and man-eating, she ate Mike and almost killed pretty much everyone. Finally defeated by Torg and Aylee, when Torg cut her head off with Chaz.
Dr. Crabtree
Dr. Crabtree was a person completely consumed by the nanites, the same ones that threatened to destroy humanity like a plague, that made her stronger, faster, and more ruthless. She could devour brains and gain their memories and powers that way. She hunted Kiki, for she believed Kiki was the key to power over the nanites, but was destroyed when Aylee's EMP went off and wiped the nanites.
Daedalus
The leader of Hereti-Corp and responsible for probably about half of Torg and Riff's problems (The other half being the fault of demons and vampires), Daedalus seems to dream big - world conquest and the like. He survived the incident and is currently hiding out in a burger-meister. Strangely enough, it is the same one (I think) that Gwynn works at, and yet she has yet to discover them.
Dr. Shlock, the younger
The younger version of Dr. Shlock in this timeline apparently worked for the company and was knee-deep into their evil activities. He was killed, for fear of anything getting out, but oddly enough the Dr. Shlock of the future was unaffected, probably because he is from an alternate timeline.
Killum
A deadly consort of Daedalus, he was supposed to serve as a schemer and as strength, but he was killed during the incident when Riff went Rogue.
Kusari
Kusari appears to be a woman somehow 'related' to Oasis. Even though she got her head cut off, she appears to be alive and well, suggesting she is some sort of robot, or clone, or something. It is unknown just who she is, since she wears a suit at all times, but she fights Oasis furiously whenever the opportunity presented itself. Is also hiding at the Burgermeister.
Dr. Steve
Dr. Steve 'created' Oasis, and could order her to do ANYTHING. He was working in secret out in a forest, before his lab was destroyed in an explosion. The last order Oasis was given was to love Torg, and she now faithfully carries it out. It is unknow just how Steve created Oasis or what he planned to do, all that is known is his cruel jab to Oasis and her lost identity, the saying 'Know Thyself'.
Kirko
A scientist who was working on the cloning project, and was killed when Riff turned rogue.
The Holidays: Primarily Bun-Bun's enemies, The Holidays and other various characters listed below are physical manifestations of previously abstract concepts, but they're still here nonetheless.
2002
None too bright, he was the physical manifestation of the spirit of 2002. It was he who told Bun Bun about collecting holidays in the hopes of keeping Bun Bun from getting and ruining christmas, but that made things worse.
2003
The spirit of the year 2003, he was far more cunning then 2002, because that was the year that Bun Bun was on the rampage, looking for holidays to claim as his own. He eventually succeeded by tricking Bun Bun into breaking the egg, saving the holidays.
Basphomy
The former ruler of Halloween, she was ejected for becoming too ambitious and too powerful. She was instead forced to serve under it's new king, whom she helped defeat when Bun Bun came to town. She had her own plans to regain control of Halloween, but when last seen she was banished to the Obsidian Cage.
General Gohblair
The Turky King of Thanksgiving, he is also completely nuts. He tried to lead the Turkeys against Bun Bun's hoard, but failed and was killed. However, like all holiday spirits, he was returned to life by the shattering of the egg.
Grahamy
A contact of Bun Bun's who used to work with the cookie making elves, but who was transferred to the Black Ops Elves to keep an eye on them for Bun Bun.
Groundhog's Day Shadow
Accidentally binded to Bun Bun for a while, the shadow is responsible for Groundhog's day, and helped Bun Bun with his plot of holiday domination. When the egg was broken, he returned to the regular groundhog.
King of Halloween
This pumpkin-headed king of Halloween is a strangely different character to most of the older halloween ghoulies, in that he is kind-hearted and not nearly as scary - he would preffer to jump out from behind a door and go Boo! then sneaking up and devouring someone's soul while they slept. This doesn't make him weak, however. He usurped Blasphomy, nearly defeated Bun Bun in single combat, and scared Kiki. He was killed, but restored to life by the shattering of the egg.
Rudolph
We are all familiar with Rudolph, who served for a time as an alien commander but whose DNA was freed of taint. He escaped for a time, but with the breaking of the egg he is now free to serve Santa once more.
Santa Claus
The big guy himself, temporarily possessed by an Alien but is now free of that vile affliction. He and Bun-Bun have had an ongoing battle, involving Bun-Bun blowing up Santa's Workshop and Santa sending a mechanized Easter Rabbit after him, just for starters. As it currently stands, he has been restored to normal, and thing are looking up after Bun-Bun was hurled out of time itself.
Mrs. Santa
A wiley old woman who has just as much hatred for Bun-Bun as Santa, with only half the insanity. Helped lead the holidays against Bun-Bun when he went on a rampage, and also was part of the plan to use the egg which would restore holidays.
Shamus
A leprechaun, and thus patron of St. Patrick's day. Although he committed forces to the holiday's defence of Thanksgiving, it was to no avail, and he fled.
Skimpy Moomoo
As his name suggests, he wears a skimpy Moo Moo whenever he's not in service. He is a part of the Black Ops Elves, and has survived numerous suicidal missions under Squishy Doodoo.
Slappy Hoho
A Black Ops elf under Squishy Doodoo, they married and now have a kid. Is generally a tad squeamish but is apparently good with computers. Had a crush on Skimpy Moomoo until she realized just why he's called that.
Snappy Showshow
A black-ops elf who took pictures, he was killed during the rescue attempt on the North Pole by Alien Santa. He managed to take a picture of the alien in the form of a Polar Bear, which helped throw off suscpiscion.
Sticks
Sticks is just that, a collection of sticks with a psychotic dream to be real, who slashes up the living and uses their parts to make him more human. As he is not real, he feels no remorse, and serves Halloween - probably glumly, since under it's new king he doesn't get to be as deadly as he might want.
Sugar plumb fairy
As a tiny spirit just the right size for Bun Bun, the Suglar Plum fairy appears to be his girl of choice when doing battle with the holidays. She herself seems to lack any real personality or brains, but that ditzy quality might be prefferable for one like Bun Bun.
Squeaky Bobo
Once a Christmas Elf under Santa, he was a collateral kill when Santa blew up a warehouse in an effort to kill Bun-Bun. Possessed in anger, his spirit was trapped in the Dimension of Pain, in an orb. He was once sent on a mission to kill Torg by pretending to be Val and asking Torg to kill himself, but that failed. Was released from the Orb and returned to life when the egg was broken, but is still pretty bitter.
Squishy Doodoo
Leader of a splinter agency of Black Ops Elves, Squishy Doodoo was put in charge when Bun Bun took over and threw the two commanding officers out the window to their deaths. He helped Bun-Bun locate Riff and Torg when they accidentally erased his baywatch tapes, and lead a mission to find out what happened to Santa's Workshop when the aliens invaded. In the end, he sided with Bun-Bun when Bun-Bun went on a rampage to destroy the holidays, and helped defeat Alien Santa with Nerf weaponry. Is currently married to Slappy hoho.
Squishybunbunbunbun
The son of Squishy and Slappy, named after the illustrous 'hero' and leader of the Black Ops Elves, revealing a certain lack of character judgement in his parents.
Squinty Hoyo
A Black-Ops Elf who was killed by Alien Santa, it is unknown wether he returned to life or not when the egg was shattered. We don't know much about him, except that he was missing an eye and was bald.
Timelessness: A category for everyone who has fallen out of the time stream, the Timeless are often at each other's throats over their limited suppy of time.
Blacksoul
A mysterious wanderer who seeks vengeance on the Bloody Bun, he terrorized Calix's village for directions and still hunts Bun Bun.
Calix
It is unknown, the current state of Calix, but he was a young man from a primitive tribe that lived peacefully on a rock floating out in timelessness. Skilled with axes as well as fiery and passionate, he nevertheless had to sit through the imprisoning of his people and was forced to serve as first mate for their capturer, Bun Bun. Seems to have a certain amount of attraction to Kada, but after an attempted mutiny through releasing his incarcerated friends and family, it seems likely he won't last much longer.
Daggerfish
Daggerfish was the former first mate of the Bloody Bun, but sincerely hated his captain. He fought Calix and died rather swiftly from an axe to the head.
Captain Donaly
A captain under the rutheless Jacob, he was defeated by Bun-Bun and had to use the smaller ship. He let on to the aparatus and helped Bun-Bun find it with the intent to backstab, but failed. He was then recaptured by Jacob, where he faces execution.
Hannibal
One of the Bloody Bun's alien crew, and a lookout.
Jacobs
The admiral of an entire fleet of pirate ships, it has been his intent to capture enough people together to achieve continuous time, but now the promise of the apparatus has lured him and his fleet to hunt down Bun Bun.
Kada
From a futuristic timeline, she invented a device known as the aparatus that can map the entire universe in real-time - which also means it can map the vast Timelessness, perhaps leading to a way to escape back into real-time. She seemed at first shocked, but eventually calmed down and took up residence with several Carib, only to be captured by Bun Bun.
Makz
From Kada's timeline, he betrayed his friend in hopes of earning a greater amount from her 'aparatus'. He only spoke through recordings or holo-communications, and seemed at first attracted to Kada - but that looks now more like general chit-chat then honest interest.
Stu
A Carib, and although honest and intelligent, none too wise. He guided Bun-Bun to the Apparatus, although what's happening with him now is a little unclear.
Dr. Viennason
A Carib who has created a series of informative movies about living in the Timelessness. Unfortunately, they are also painfully long and boring.
That's all I can think of. I've probably missed lots, so if anyone wants to fill in a few spaces for me, go right ahead.
