Cast: Protagonists:

Cecil Von Central III, Human:

Cecil has been tasked with completing his family's mission of killing Dart. Unfortunately his attempt failed rather badly, with Dart placing a Shoujen curse on him and sending him out into the world as a final torment. Cecil entered a spiral of depression and drunkenness, which was eventually brought under control when Geist coalesced and coerced him into taking action.

Geist, UNDEFINED:

The voices in Cecil's head. These act as the operator for the group, and provide advice and motivation for the group. Geist has been not-so-subtly manipulating the group's behavior and feelings for their own, highly scrutable purposes.

Alexis, Catkin/Human:

Alex is a lifelong friend of Cecil. She caught up with Cecil soon after Cecil met Geist, and immediately decided to help Cecil through this troublesome time. She planted a listening device on Cecil so she could hear his thoughts, but instead discovered the 'Cell Stone' she created only allowed her to interact with Geist. After Cecil returned from the Dark Elf village, she turned the Dark Elf gem into a Psyche Orb to protect Cecil's mind from his curse.

Nari, Dark Elf:

Nari is the daughter of Norar, a corrupt and sadistic leader of a Dark Elf settlement. She was badly scarred and wounded when Cecil first encountered her, and Geist pushed Cecil to go get Alex and rescue her. Upon returning Cecil discovered that Norar was about to have her executed via Soul Petrification so that he would have a soulless, mindless, living doll for his own amusement. Cecil confronted Norar, and with the help of Alex managed to bring Nari to safety. Nari immediately fell in love with Cecil, and has pursued him since.

Rebecca Joslyn, Human:

RJ is a street rat who stole Cecil's Psyche Orb. After its loss was noticed, Geist helped Cecil identify and confront RJ. In spite of all expectations, Cecil and Geist managed to convince her to hand the orb over peacefully. She joined the party when she and Cecil accepted the same job.

Antagonists:

Dart, Human(?):

Dart is the Master of Dark Mana. He has engaged in many horrific acts; he steals man's souls and makes them his slaves, then uses them to power his magic. His current goal appears to be killing world leaders in order to take their place.

Norar, Dark Elf:

Nari's abusive father. After Nari was rescued from him, he put a 100,000G bounty up for her return.

Indeterminate:

Cerin, Dark/Light Elf:

Cerin attempted to kill the protagonists, and came fairly close to succeeding. She was killed in the conflict, but was de-killed thanks to quick action by the party. She was revived and reveiled that she was placed under the Shoujen curse and brainwashed by Dart. The mental effects of the Shoujen have been removed.

Kathrin, Tigerkin:

Kathrin lured Cecil and RJ into her lair under the pretense of recruiting mediators for a dispute. In reality, her plan was to use their souls to power a dark mana spell to kill the Catkin leader. Along the way Cecil battled and captured a Soulless, which convinced Kathrin to hire Cecil and RJ as assassins instead. She is motivated by a battle with Dart where her people were slaughtered while waiting for Catkin reinforcements that never came. She has shown to not be very wise or competent.
