Characters

Chee

Cheelop

Our slightly vacant protagonist. Aspires to be a ninja wizard doctor. She soon discovers her entire life is a vast network of lies and secrets, starting with the fact that she is not in fact alive at all.

Terrible Secrets: (In order of discovery)

• She is a very complicated and advanced form of undead rather than being alive.
• Most of her early memories are fakes made to hide her true nature.
• Even her hat has its own terrible secrets. It is a scrying device created by a lich to track and monitor her.
• Rather than having 'a' soul, Chee is stuffed full of souls that give her their skills and souls that give her advice (represented by /tg/).
• These souls are bound in place by the demon known to the world as The Devouerer (and to /tg/ as Tom).
• She is an animated phylactery for not one but two powerful liches.
• Chee's can sometimes view the past of people close to her (as intermissions), and maybe change it slightly.
• Chee is not in fact Chee (the original one at least) but is instead a copy.
• The Lich King created Chee to absorb other beings' souls and power so the Lich King could harvest them.

Shabin

Shabin

Bitchy tough-girl roommate.

Terrible Secrets: She is part gnoll due to being fed an Essence of Gnoll potion to counter an infection of Gnoll Blight.

Fraga mixing a potion

Fraga

Friendly prankster wizard.

Terrible Secrets: None

Kradis demonstrating MAXIMUM VALOUR

Kradis

Gallant bold with a neat hat.

Terrible Secrets: Owns the hat of the original Chee as a family heirloom. (Pretty minor, really.)

Chop at his dojo

Chop

Chop is huge! And mighty!

Terrible Secrets: Something is up with his massive size and strength, though nobody knows what.

The Alchemist

blank

An alchemist who lives in the cobold camp.

Terrible Secrets: She somehow knows how to create the ludicrously powerful love potion invented by Minci.

Tae

blank

A human archer.

Terrible Secrets: None

Voxol

blank

A dragon who Chee lived with for some time.

Terrible Secrets: None

Lokirm (the Southern Lich)

blank

One of the liches who tried to usurp the Lich King and had his soul stored in Chee. He has been plotting unsuccessfully against the Lich King for quite a long time, but surrenders to Chee when she destroys the body he was planning to use to separate their souls. He is kind of of nice aside from the fact that he has almost no qualms about killing people to further his goals.

Terrible Secrets: None (not counting assorted schemes)

Northern Lich

blank

One of the liches who tried to usurp the Lich King and had his soul stored in Chee. He is much more violent than Lorirm, and attacks basically the entire world once his rival has been killed.

Terrible Secrets: None (not counting assorted schemes)

Derrick Duke

blank

An undead cat-person who was granted a mind and various powers by the lich who animated him. He is rather bumbling, and has a strange obsession with eating things.

Terrible Secrets: After eating an unstable artifact, he becomes The Devouerer (later known as Tom)

Minci

blank

A succubus who specializes in illusions and alchemy. She invented an incredibly powerful love potion.

Terrible Secrets: She used Derrick in her plan to destroy Lorkim's device because it was too dangerous.

Lich King

blank

The Lich King is the most powerful lich known to exist, despite the efforts of several other liches.

Terrible Secrets: The Lich king (by the start of the story) is actually the original Chee, who became the Lich King as part of a quest first to kill necromancers, and then to kill the gods.
