Shadow of Israphel/Characters

Old/Knight_Peculier
The first NPC the Simon and Lewis encounter other than Israphel. He started out as a kindly innkeeper, but eventually gets his own character arc.

""The signal tower doesn't need to be that bright...""
 * Action Survivor: Old_Peculier before he Took a Level in Badass and became Knight_Peculier.

 * The Load: Old_Peculier when he suffers from the taint.
 * Meaningful Name: Old_Peculier is old, and a bit quirky. When he becomes Knight_Peculier, this becomes slightly averted - he's a knight, but no longer peculiar.

 * The Blacksmith: Her role before she gets kidnapped. Now she is the...
 * Damsel in Distress: So much so that she is still in distress after three seasons, and there is no sign that she'll be rescued any time soon.
 * Shallow Love Interest: Her personality revolves around being attracted to Honeydew or Old_Peculiar.
 * Temporary Love Interest: The first of three love interests that Honeydew has over the series. He gets over her pretty quickly, even if he's still assisting in the search for her in the quest for the map fragments. Plus, Old_Peculier was intending to propose to her.

One of Israphel's henchmen. His only role seems be dying easily and providing pork for the heroes.

 * The Smart Guy: He is quite smart, and is a clever tactician.

Skylord_Jasper
One of the Skylords from Mistral City, who Lewis and Simon first meet after trying to loot his stuff. Lewis and Simon are somewhat confused as to whether he's "the good one" or "the bad one".


 * Camp Gay: More so in  than in his initial appearance.
 * Characterization Marches On: Skylord_Jasper started out as extremely loud and extremely angry all the time. He even threatens to murder Lysander for stealing his towels. The only hint that he might have homosexual tendencies is his preference for pink in his home. When he reappears in
 * Cool Airship: He seemed to have had at least two of these.

 * Unusual Euphemism: "Would you like to lick me icing?"

Fumblemore
An incompetent wizard from Mistral City. Often blows things up, including his own home.


 * The Ace: The reason he is taken along on adventure maps. He can use magic to fly and explode obstacles, very useful in the Canopy Carnage map. It was practically made for him.
 * Emo Teen: What he looked like when he was younger.
 * Guest Star Party Member: He appears in the first livestream event and helped with the Canopy Carnage map.
 * Inept Mage: Almost codifies this trope.
 * Lethal Joke Character: His younger self in the Legend of Verigan Charity livestream. His combat skills are subpar, he constantly destroys his fellow adventurers by mistake with his spells, and can't gather resources without making a mess. However, he is incredibly good at blowing up spawners, and can deal with dense clusters of enemies with a blast of TNT.
 * Magic Misfire: Happens nearly every time he casts a spell.
 * Older Than They Look: Was part of Verigan's Five-Man Band over 100 years ago.
 * Sibling Rivalry: Has this with Swampy during the Canopy Carnage map.

The uncle of Knight_Peculier and Isabel_Peculier and only known Templar of the Crimson Cross.

One of the heroes that destroyed a great evil 100 years ago.

Madame_Nubescu
A voodoo fortune teller working for the Carnivale de Banjo. Voiced by Simon in an extremely low and croaky voice. Painfully.


 * Black Magic
 * Demonic Possession: Sort of. In a rare harmless example, she allows herself to be possesed by "Da voodoo spirits" in order to make her predictions.
 * Fortune Teller
 * Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Averted. Her supposed smoking (which caused her strange voice) does not say anything about her alignment, and is simply used as a gag.
 * Token Minority: The only black person in the whole cast.

Swampy_Bogbeard
Fumblemore's nature-loving brother, who detests humanity "defiling the land". Voiced by Simon as a stereotypical hippy.


 * Friend to All Living Things
 * New Age Retro Hippie: He lives on a floating chunk of earth and forces you to climb up using saplings and bone meal. Whether or not this is just Simon and Lewis's speculation of what he sounds like, and not who the character actually is, is up to debate.
 * Sibling Rivalry: With Fumblemore.
 * Say My Name: FUMBLEMORE!!
 * Verbal Tic: Heeeeyyyy, you made it, man. Did you defile any land, man?

 * Ascended Extra: He only appeared in writing in an adventure map, but the memorable voice acting done by Simon made him into a One-Episode Wonder that made him become a part of the Shadow of Israphel backstory (spelled "Grizwold") in the Legend of Verigan special.
 * Large Ham: And it is glorious.
 * Mr. Exposition: Provided all the exposition in the adventure maps he appeared in and the Legend of Verigan.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: While he did help destroy a great evil 100 years ago,
 * No Indoor Voice: Almost everything he says is a loud proclamation.

Spacker_LeChuck
One of the heroes that destroyed a great evil 100 years ago, before becoming a zombie. This makes him a zombie-pirate-dwarf-in-a-boat.


 * Drunken Master: Sort of.
 * Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: He's a zombie, but he acts more or less the same as he did in life.
 * Noodle Incident: He got hit in the gut by a cannonball. We don't know anything else about why he's a zombie.
