Nitrine
To Nitrine, the world is her oyster - or at least, her tasty slice of pie. Gifted from birth with brains and abilities far beyond those of her fellow goblins (which makes her roughly as smart as a human being), she left her underground home to find fame, fortune, and other things. She is something of an inventor, with most of her inventions eventually blowing up (often that's actually what they're designed for). She rarely hesitates to lie, steal, cheat, fast-talk, backstab, betray, browbeat, sabotage, seduce, swindle, waylay, ambush or hoodwink anyone to further her goals - which generally involve having a good time.

Marelle
They say that if you never stop learning, you'll never really get old. If that is true, Marelle's probably still an infant. Avid for knowledge in all its forms, she's been studying at 'the university' for who knows how long. She's already an expert on a vast array of subjects, both useful and trivial, but is usually not particuarily gifted in their application. She tends to be calm and reserved, but will speak up in the defense of sanity when things get out of hand. Which they often do in this house. Despite the obvious shape of her ears, she insists she is not a catgirl.

Zintiel
She's crazy.
Oh, you want to know more? Okay.
High elves are gracious, elegant, righteous and noble. Except Zintiel. Zintiel does whatever she feels like at any one time, which may range from saving kittens from a fire to robbing a bank and anything in between or beyond. She doesn't let herself be bound by rules, social conventions or laws of physics. She appears to act completely randomly at times, but she's more clever than she lets on.

Other characters
 |
The neighbour
He lives across the hall, in the same building as the girls. Yep!
|
 |
Sir Manfred Adalbert Portrind of Frownshire the Twenty-fifth
The girls' landlord, he's a tranquil, affable sort of fellow, except for the fact that he's in reality an ancient dragon, with all the size, strength, claws, teeth, fire breath and appetite for biped flesh that it implies. He just assumes the form of a biped to better move around inside his pantry ... I mean apartment building.
|
 |
Kurt Stein
He's a regular guy, as normal as they come. Works a regular job, works out regularily, watches regular TV. His one claim to oddity is sort of liking Nitrine.
|
 |
Griplen, Graplen and Groplen
Three goblins who may or may not be Nitrine's cousins. They are known to be not too bright and have weird yet distinctive speech patterns. They will basically do anything Nitrine tells them, but will revert to wanton mischief if left unsupervised.
|
 |
Morgana Honeydew
This halfling girl styles herself a great and powerful force of darkness. She is an insatiable consumer of all things new age and occult: crystals, candles, spellbooks, tarot cards, star charts, lava lamps. She goes as far as dyeing her hair black to look the part. Wether or not her witchery actually works is debatable.
|
 |
Cryptos the Omnipotent
While he's not REALLY omnipotent, Cryptos is an actual wizard, as well as a local big wig. He owns a lot of real estate and runs a successful fortune-telling and wish-granting business from atop his wizard tower.
|
 |
Professor Tracy Ace
One teacher at 'the university'. Even those students who attend her classes aren't sure what she teaches. She is known to have a very tenuous connection with reality.
|
 |
Sister Mona Theist
A travelling nun who is a bit TOO enthusiastic sometimes. As a member of the Sisters of Holy Retribution, she is an active supporter of the zealous punishment of sinful acts. Which you wouldn't know just by looking at her sweet, starry-eyed, angelic mug.
|
 |
Leslie Audette
Just another student at 'the university'. His ambiguously androgynous good looks confuse and entice both men and women.
|
 |
Pliskin Oleum Saltzman
If someone will buy it, he'll sell it. If not, he'll probably try to sell it anyway. That's just the kind of greasy guy P.O. is. His favourite thing to sell, though, is his "Physician-Approved, World-Reknowned Colonel P.O. Saltzman's All-Natural All-Purpose Miracle Elixir, Healing Salve and Medicinal Liniment (patent pending)".
|
 |
Gabriel Bannon
Despite being a pompous idiot jerk, or possibly because of it, Gabriel believes that he is privileged, gifted with awesome looks, intelligence, wealth, and muscles. So he considers it his duty to spread goodwill and justice wherever he goes. He also thinks he knows best what's good for people - better than the people themselves. This can lead to problems?
|
 |
Prince Camambar Altarmagon
A prince of the royal house of the elf kingdom. He and Zintiel were engaged to be married, but sixteen years ago she ran away on the eve of their wedding. Driven by his love, he's been pursuing her ever since, but without much luck. He seems to have a thing for birds.
|
 |
Commander Tares Lutinàn
The eldest of Zintiel's many siblings, Tares is a stuck-up meanie. Er, I mean, he's an proud military officer, dedicated to maintaining elven traditions and his family's honour.
|

|
 |
Croissant
She's not really a character in the story, but she shows up from time to time. A mascot of sorts (with the name to fit), she is your host and presents information and fun stuff about the comic.

Miscellany
Guy
Most recently seen tending the booth of Real Adventure Dungeon Quest.
Troll
A beefy sort of fellow.
Excrementor
Just... no.
Various university students
Secretly, some of them might become important characters later.
The Prince's guards
There's an old captain and a young recruit. And some others. They serve the Prince, and chase Zintiel.
Police guy
His name's not Guy. He polices the law!
Tares's Manticores
There's ten of them, the absolute top elite af all elven military. They obey Tares only. They aren't actual manticores, though, just elf soldiers.
Gabriel's flunkies
Just guys who hang out at the Fighter's Guild. They're buff and even dumber than Gabe, if you can imagine that.
Racing chicks
They appear once.
