Don't you think it's kinda funny how I always update this thing for a Monday update mere hours before a Friday update? Anyway.
SECTION 1: Sata Andagee
FATiMA
Ostensibly the protagonist, Fatima plans to defeat Malbez and rescue Sal.
Status: Alive
Location: Malbez's throne room
KEV
Let's be honest. He's really only good at comic relief.
Status: Alive
Location: Trying to ogle Fatima without getting Sworded
EXOR
The "Dark Master" has helped Fatima and friends find Malbez's throne room in exchange for furthering his nefarious plans.
Status: Angsty, but alive
Location: Malbez's throne room
PATH
The old man is still out for revenge. So dedicated to it is he that he demands to fight Malbez solo.
Status: About to make a terrible, terrible mistake
Location: Malbez's throne room
HiRO
Hiro tried to play hero and rescue Sal alone, but he played right into Malbez's waiting hands. What a tool.
Status: Stasis
Location: Malbez's Throne Room
SAL
The figurative Holy Grail of the arc, she was kidnapped to lure Hiro to Malbez's Tower.
Status: Alive
Location: Malbez's Throne Room
MALBEZ
The bastard who started this mess. Presumably Malbez was only interested in Sata Andagee for Hiro's power.
Status: Alive
Location: Still Malbez's Throne Room
MALBEZ'S MESSENGER
I don't know what the hell this thing is. It gives Malbez updates on the heroes, though.
Status: Alive
Location: Malbez's Tower
KELiOS
Who is this guy? What's he want? He's a total mystery. ...wait, you say he's from the Shirande Empire and is investigating Hiro's slaughter of their soldiers? Way to be a buzzkill.
Status: Alive
Location: Sata Andagee
KiMBO
The girl ran away after her sisters got offed. Lucky for her, Kev didn't ask her on a date.
Status: Missing, presumed alive
Location: Unknown
GEMMAKANTE
The most powerful of Malbez's elemental minions and the only one cool enough to get a character page image. He fled when Fatima cut off his arm.
Status: Missing, presumed wounded but alive
Location: Unknown
DiRK
I'd bet Dirk just wishes he were Gendo Ikari.
Status: *sneaky, slight grin*
Location: Sata Andagee
SOME DUDE
In order to conserve texture memory, this game recolors sprites in some areas. Please pretend they are not the same person with a different shirt.
Status: Alive
Location: Sata Andagee
FAUST AND ALLiES
Some other group of adventurers who tried and failed to kill Malbez. Theoretically important.
Status: Alive
Location: Malbez's Tower
SECTION 2: The Forbidden Region
SOLARiA
The supposed hero of this arc. She needs to protect some relic in some temple.
Status: Alive
Location: En route to Lortia
MiLLiENE
A Psi Knight who lost her memories. Also allegedly not the True Milliene.
Status: Alive
Location: Also en route
AMENA
Evidently she's the true heir to Milliene's abilities and memories. Why does the "fake" get primary control, though?
Status: Alive
Location: The part of the brain responsible for MPD, perhaps
REGENT GERM
<_<
>_>
Status: Alive
Location: Lortia
PROFESSOR EWAN
Dude visited the Regent of Lortia to talk about some tablet from Hazard's Wake. He gots ta be important.
Status: Alive
Location: En route to wherever his home is
REZA
The seer born to scry gave the Regent of Lortia warning about a threat to come, possibly from the approaching Holy Knights of Zera.
Status: Alive
Location: Also en route to her home
NELLY
Background friend of Solaria. She got a couple two or three appearances, so she gets a mention.
Status: Alive
Location: Zera (Quadragulia)
ALEXANDER
The leader of the Holy Knights was pretty confident Regent Germ would give Solaria and Milliene a boat. So why did the Regent assume they were going to be a threat? And why did Nelly come before him in this list?
Status: Alive
Location: Zera (Quadragulia)
ARAMANDE
A she-demon lamia dispatched by Xantrich. She needs to destroy some relic in some temple.
Status: Alive
Location: En route to Palrm Temple
SECTION 3: Burning in Water and Drowning in Flames
CRESS
Theoretically the hero of this arc. He's amazed that Araceli is the daughter of his boss. How Maple confused this for a crush is beyond the ken of mortals like us.
Status: Alive
Location: Shores of the Haato continent
ARACELi
Daughter of King Elm and Lady Ethereal (not Queen Ethereal? Ohshi--, scandal). She probably didn't even think of Cress in a sexy-sexy way until Maple said something. Hell, she probably still doesn't.
Status: Alive, terrified of almost everything
Location: Haato shores
MAPLE
Maple imagines a love triangle between her, Araceli, and Cress. She can't tell the difference between someone having an inner monologue and... well, people like her.
Status: Alive, jealous, probably thinking about Cress naked
Location: Shores of Haato
FLUFFY
Fluffy is useful!
Status: Zaz!
Location: Haato Beach
ZENOBiA
A girl. Living in a mirror. With some kind of evil-looking wing. She seemed to have gone back to sleep, or stasis, or whatever since making contact with Maple, but she evidently can see what Maple sees. What else can she do? We'll have to wait and see.
Status: Alive
Location: Temple of Mirrors
TRi-OROCHi
Some kind of demonic demi-god. He hasn't shown any manifestation in the real world, so who knows? He might just be the result of something those faceless things slipped in Araceli's dinner.
Status: Unknown
Location: Also Unknown
TALON
Fluffy's master was responsible for Maple and Cress surviving the Krakenhead attack. He wants Xantrich to unseal Hazard's Wake for as-yet unknown reasons.
Status: Alive
Location: Talon's Tower, wherever that is
KRAKENHEAD
Equal-opportunity capsizer.
Status: NOT A PET!
Location: The Ocean near Haato
PYRE AND TAURDiAN
Xantrich sent these two to find Araceli. Who wants to bet that they'll go after the wrong Dark Elemental user?
Status: Alive
Location: En route to one of the Dark Elemental sources at all powerful enough to maybe be Araceli
SECTION 4: The Others
THE <STRIKE>AUTHOR</STRIKE> GOD
Allegedly, they aren't those tentacles, damn it all.
Status: Unknown
THE STAY-PUFT CTHULHU MAN
Elder God that tastes great over fire.
Status: Fhtagn
SHiN AND ARiA
The two of them escaped Basilisk with their lives. Kev doesn't know what happened to them afterwards.
Status: Unknown, presumed alive
Location: Unknown
TiM AND KATiE
Creepy faceless things that took care of Araceli since she was little.
Status: Alive, I guess
Location: Nephilim Tower
THE TRiOCH
Creepy demons living in some kind of rotting world. Might also be caused by something Araceli's been eating for the past several years.
Status: Unknown
Location: Unknown
JAMES
That guy with a big sword. He's roaming the world looking for Xantrich.
Status: Alive
Location: Probably a Berserk parody
NOT-KEV
Anywhere there needs to be a healthy dose of meta-humor.
Status: Alive
Location: Wherever's plot-convenient
XANTRiCH
Some evil demon (possibly demon lord) who plans to invade Hazard's Wake. How he will do this remains unknown, but somehow involves Araceli and Evadne's Relic in the Forbidden Region.
Status: Alive
Location: Zaagor Pyramid
TNACULT
Xantrich's incubus and right-tentacle man is still at his boss's side.
Status: Alive
Location: Zaagor Pyramid
LADY ETHEREAL
This familiar-looking sorceress has been confirmed to be Araceli's mother. Too bad for her she's confined to one city and thus can't help her.
Status: Alive
Location: Dianolva
KiNG ELM
Araceli's father hasn't been seen in a friggin' long time. When he still came out of his hole, he stuck his daughter in a creepy tower. Why?
Status: Alive?
Location: Zera (Quadragulia)
DR. BiERANGESiCHT
Scientist from the future. Studying Flying-dragon-orb-thingie-or-whatever-the-hell-you-are anatomy. Owns a wicked cool statue that's actually Nefausto's powerful brother, So Fucking Evil.
Status: Life is short, bury! Steady Sword!
Location: TO FUTURE!
