Sinfest/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Slick

A self-proclaimed pimp who is the main character of the strip.

God (Frankenstein puppet): "Igor, where'd you get the mouth from?"
God (Igor puppet): "Tourette's patient."

Monique

Hippie feminist girl who is the main target of Slick's attentions.

Porn-hatin' Girl: (stunned) What was that?
Slicky: Hurricane 'Nique. The attention-sucking vortex of doom.

Criminy

Nerdy bookworm who reads a lot under a tree.

Squigley

A weed smoking stoner pig. Slick's best friend.

  • Everything Is Messier With Pigs: Subverted.
  • Le Parkour: Surprisingly.
  • Mushroom Samba
  • N-Word Privileges: Only pigs are allowed to say "pigga."
  • The Plague: During the Swine Flu scare, people thought he was a carrier. Up to the point of people screaming and fleeing in terror (with one person screaming "Nobody have sex with him. EVER!")
  • Serious Business: He pulls off several Parkour moves to get to a burrito place right before closing. He also pawns his entire porn stash (it hit the ceiling, not counting the stuff on his PC) for some kind of deluxe taco shop special.
  • Seven Deadly Sins: He's gluttony: Big Eater, stoner, drinker, avid consumer of porn... Although he now and then gets sick and tired of his lifestyle and starts dieting, exercising, dropping the intoxicants, and throwing his pornos away. For a while.
  • Sky Surfing: He can actually fly when using drugs. Down to carrying other people with him.
  • The Slacker
  • The Stoner: ...to the point of using pot to allow his sofa to fly (even into, and then back out of Hell). He later tokes up on the toilet. This leads to said toilet blasting its way through the roof and eventually landing in the tree Fuchsia and Criminy hang out at. Needless to say, they pull him down, but not before the flight of the toilet ends up on Twitter and a ton of other social networking sites.
  • Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: While stoned, once dropped to Hell but was kicked out.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: He's a big fan of tacos and burritos. See Le Parkour amd Serious Business
  • Walking the Earth: As a hobo with a magic banjo. He's home now.
  • Yuri Fanboy

God

Needs no further explanation.

Slick: "Why did you make me like this?"
God: "Just to see if I could."

  • Pet the Dog: When not viciously mocking his creations, God can actually be a nice guy.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: He threatens to smite Devil every other time. They constantly pick on each other... But missed him when D retired.
    • Also, with the Dragon—they frequently banter, and Dragon tend to pulverize his cloud, torch his hand puppet or something else, they scuffle a bit... rinse, repeat.

Jesus

Needs no further explanation.

The Dragon

Representative of all Eastern religion.

Buddha

Guess.

Fuchsia

A fuchsia colored succubus, also known as Fyoosh. Has undergone extensive character development (and got lots of screentime) since late 2008.

Baby Blue

A blue succubus. Much more evil than her partner.

"Pebbles"/"Tangerine"

An unnamed, dark orange succubus created from a country girl.

  • Ambiguous Innocence: Is a succubus and a gun-toter, but behaves without malicious intent, for the most part.
  • Amnesiacs Are Innocent: Her behavior, even when criminal, tends to be childish.
  • Anti-Villain: Type 3, see Obliviously Evil below.
    • May lean towards Designated Villain, as she seems to practice (in her own strange way) Christianity. She even sanctifies Lil E.
  • Ax Crazy: Probably the most violent character in Sinfest. Is plotting to kill Santa/Satan (her pronunciation makes it unclear). She's also taken to "killing" pastries.
  • Black Magic: Bomf. She cocks her hands back like she's aiming a gun, like Yusuke's Spirit Gun and Sailor Mars' Fire Soul. She's sometimes done this two-handed.
  • Color Coded for Your Convenience
  • Cool Big Sis: She's been playing this to Lil E since that whole Lethe affair.
  • The Ditz: She's not quite getting the hang of being a devil.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Before becoming a devil girl she asked Squigley to play a Britney Spears song on his banjo (during his hobo phase).
  • Ensemble Darkhorse
  • Evil Feels Good: While probably not coming from any sense of sadism, she relishes in "bomfing" whatever she feels like on a whim, describing it as "fuuuuun".
  • Fan Nickname: Both of the names provided for this page are not her official name, and she has yet to be given one as of February 2012. Pebbles comes from one strip, where Monique refers to the succubus as Pebbles due to her orange hair. Tangerine was proposed by the fans to go along with the Theme Naming amongst the other succubi.
  • The Fashionista: Has twice shown interest and desire in another characters clothes.
  • Happy Dance: Over her hoodie.
  • The Kleptomaniac: Has also stolen said clothing from the characters whose wardrobe she liked.
  • The Malaproper: "JAY-Z IS MY LOAD AND SAVOUR!!!"
  • Morality Pet: Has some shades of this towards Seymour, incredibly. If nothing else, he has acted more decently when around her than at any other point in the comic. Their interactions aren't numerous yet, and Seymour's "gentlemanly behaviour" might just be him feeling responsible for her (as he's responsible for her Cloudcuckoolander attitude), but there's hope yet.
    • Either that, or he's at a loss when someone heeds his sermons only to run with garbled version.
  • No Social Skills
  • Nubile Savage: In attire, and owing to the lack of social skills, behavior. Though she does avert Exposed to the Elements.
  • Obliviously Evil: Tangerine doesn't seem to bear ill will to anyone she doesn't perceive as attacking. Being an impulsive childish Pyromaniac slightly "out of it" is enough to occasionally make people run away screaming, though.
  • Pettanko: At least before transformation. Still flatter than the others.
  • Pyromaniac: Loves to make things go boom. Especially after she gets Seymour's shotgun.
  • Running Gag: Her habit of stealing pieces of clothing from people she runs across is starting to shape up as this.
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: BOMF (and BKOW as of 8/15/11).

The Devil

Needs no explanation.

Tomey

A demonic book.

Seymour

A Christian fundamentalist.

Lil' Evil

A Satanist fundamentalist.

Ezekiel and Ariel

An inseparable pair of angels.

Death

The grim reaper.

The Cartoonist

Mostly keeps to himself. The owner of Pooch and Percy.

Percival and Pooch

A cat (Percy) and dog (Pooch) of the Author Avatar whose antics are mostly irrelevant to the rest of the strip (but are funny!)

Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty

Not the happiest family, at least these days. Uncle Sam is theoretically well-meaning, but flinchy and easily misguided. Most definitely not depressed. Also, get off his lawn.

Trike Girl

A short, shades-wearing arch-feminist who rides a Big Wheel tricycle.

The Zombie

The zombie of one (or more) of the damned souls who loved Fuchsia's stories. Deprived of these after her Heel Face Turn, he's now escaped to look for her.

The Fan Girl

A young fan of "It Girl" Monique
