Now that I'm 80,000 words/11 chapters into my novel I have quite a few characters. Here are some of my favs:

  • Angus (the main character): gay disaster who decides to literally go to another dimension with no way back because his crush is mad at him and a talking box tells him to. Jack of no trades, master of fuck all. Cannot be a good person no matter how hard he tries. Is 12.

  • T'mazin De Villiers: Chairman of the Guild of Merchants, Tax Collector General and Head of HR at the Disgruntled Shopkeepers Association. Icon and hero to me.

  • Janus: man trapped in the body of a polecat who can shapeshift back into a man. Loves to drop silly riddles and puzzles and then dip.

  • Queen Carenza: has never felt a human emotion a day in her life I don't think. Absolute fish of a person. Will only wear the colour white.

  • Frankle: gets so angry about a fake vampire that he threatens to fight a priest about it then a few chapters later creates a comic book about how much he hates this priest.

  • Edger the rube: uses synthetic magic so much he turns blue.

  • Leni: soldier in training who goes awol the first chance she gets. Obsessive rule follower but will do stupid things when she's mad like trying to kiss a gay man or betraying her only friend because another gay man told her to.

  • Cornelius "Cornie": cabbage merchant who accidentally becomes king of one of the largest trading kingdoms by being really nice to a few cult members one time.

  • Quentin Dilbert Jr: apothecary owner who gets robbed because he tests a "suggestabili-tea" potion on himself after a single prompting by an actual child.

  • The Great Wizard Sinrith: grumpy old conman who wears eyeliner and has never been at peace a day in his life. Is a terrible wizard and refuses to say the words "I'm sorry" no matter what.

  • Mayor Left Wright and Lord Right Wright: brothers who I named that specifically because I think it's funny.

I think my favorite is The Great Wizard Sinrith. At the end of your book you should make him casually apologies like it's no big deal and no one notices because he was so casual and then a day later everyone realizes and panics :D(love your characters and the info dump)
