Michelle Jocasta
Species: Grecian SphinxMichelle is the only known Grecian Sphinx, a mysterious species that was believed to have gone extinct back in the Middle Ages.

Jimothy James Finn
Species: OpinicusJim is a member of the Finn family, one of the oldest and most distinguished mythical families in England. Jim is an Opinicus, one of the many subspecies of gryphon. Jim met Michelle, Greg, and Merial while going to school in Missouri for a year.

Lorne is his oldest and closest friend, although things are a little tense after Jim broke up with him before leaving for America.
Gregory Tragos
Species: SatyrGreg is a an insecure Satyr. He cares deeply for his friends, especially his girlfriend, Michelle.

Thanks to a broken medallion, his goat-ears are never hidden, and has to wear hats when disguised as human.
Merial McMinnus
Species: NixieMerial is an enthusiastic Nixie who tries to see the positive in every situation. She loves the mythical community and is excited to learn anything and everything about it.

Her parents own a cabin in a river valley in the woods, and the group hangs out there every weekend so they can be themselves in peace.
The Bloodcarver
Species: Western Red DragonDragons are supposed to be extinct, but much like Michelle and the sphinxes, that doesn’t seem to be true. Sent to capture Michelle for unknown reasons, Bloodcarver had a change of heart and let her go before completing his mission. He has insinuated that he’s not the only dragon out there, but so far the crew has not seen evidence of others.
Anthony Gillis
Species: harpyJohn Anthony Gillis was enjoying a nice human life with his nice human friend, Blanche, but then Blanche had to ruin it by being a big weird white deer. He accidentally broke a spell that he didn’t know was on him while touring the Liverpool Avalon with Blanche and turned into a big bird monster, which he later found out was a Harpy. According to all known laws of magic, Anthony should be human, but magic really loves to break the rules, apparently. Created by Sfé Monster.
Blanche Noir
Species: White StagBlanche goes to a human school, and his best friend, Anthony, is (supposed to be) a human. After a lot of thought, he decided to tell Anthony that he was actually a White Stag and show him the life he had been hiding from him for so long. Blanche blames himself for Anthony’s current situation and is trying to make things right, but forgiveness is a slow process. Created by Sfé Monster.
Lorne Peregrin Lyon
Species: Nemean LionLorne and Jim have been inseparable best friends since they were children. As a Nemean Lion, he may be impervious to all physical harm, but that doesn’t mean his feelings can’t get hurt. And they get hurt a lot. Primarily by Jim.
Eleanor McLean Mothersbaugh XIII
Species: BandersnatchEleanor is a Frumious Bandersnatch, one of the many creatures unique to the Wonderland Avalon. Prejudice against bandersnatches are another thing unique to the Wonderland Avalon, and why Eleanor and her best friend Rupert left.
Rupert Burton-Fitzgerald
Species: Jub-Jub BirdA Jub-Jub Bird from the Wonderland Avalon, Rupert came to the Liverpool Avalon with his friend Eleanor. Rupert is the living embodiment of Nervousness, and it doesn’t help that his cousin Jim just loves to wind him up. Created by Sfé Monster!
Ravi
Species: YaksaThe owner of Ravi’s House of Eastern Curiosities, Ravi has been a shop owner in the Liverpool Avalon since the 1980s. Unbeknownst to just about everyone, Ravi is actually a Yakṣa, an immortal earth spirit. He has a history with the Liverpool Avalon and also the Finn Family, being the one responsible for the Finn Curse. He was allegedly a friend of Phineas the Red, the first Finn. He’s been claiming a lot of farfetched things, though, so who knows how much truth is behind any of it. He’s weird.
Mary Haddlam Finn
Species: Common GryphonThe functioning head of the Finn Family, Mary is a Common Gryphon who, after raising four rambunctious children, is wise to just about any sort of shenanigan that can be pulled. She keeps her family in line and functioning. She grew up in Wonderland, but she doesn’t have many favorable things to say about it.
James Phineas Finn
Species: OpinicusThis Opinicus is the technical head of the Finn Family. James used to work at a circus in the 1930s with his best friend Django, but takes it easy these days. He has several old injuries, including a cracked beak, torn ear, and amputated wings and tail, alluding to some past hardships. He is also on the Elder Council as the Gryphon Elder.
Paulbert James Finn
Species: OpinicusPaul is the oldest of the four Finn brothers. According to Finn Tradition, Paul was supposed to travel abroad before returning home to take the job of “Cavern Guardian” from his father, but Paul had no interest in traveling, happy to just staying home and doing his job managing bands around the Liverpool Avalon with his best friend Jon. Jim decided to go abroad in Paul’s stead.
Tobias James Finn
Species: Common GryphonTobias is the only Common Gryphon of his siblings and he constantly thinks everybody holds it against him. As the second youngest, between Colin and Jim, Tobias has a serious inferiority complex mixed with some good old fashioned teen angst. His grumpiness is a magnet for brotherly ribbing.
Colin James Finn
Species: OpinicusThe youngest of the four Finn brothers, Colin just got his medallion and he’s so super stoked that he’s got “weird hair” like his big brother Jim. He’s gifted with elemental water magic, and has taken to it very quickly.
Martha Finn
Species: GhostThe Finn Family Pet for a couple generations now, Martha once belonged to Jimothy the Elder, Jim’s grandfather. She loved her owner so much that when she died her Spirit stayed attached to her collar. She’ll remain a loyal friend to the Finns as long as there are Finns. Or until they treat her badly, nobody’s super sure how ghosts work.
Roald Burton
Species: Jub-Jub BirdRoald Burton is something of a scientist in the Wonderland Avalon. While his sister, Mary Finn, left their hometown when she was young, Roald has lived in Wonderland his whole life, and is fascinated by the unique properties of the Avalon. He wants to be a good father to his son, Rupert, but he worries that Rupert’s friendship with the bandersnatch Eleanor will subject his son to bullying.
Phineas
Species: OpinicusPhineas is the first of the Finn Line, which is a very prestigious title for a huge doofus loudmouth. He’s also the first Finn to have the Finn Curse, with a red mane and control of fire.
Jocasta and Wosret
Species: Grecian Sphinx and Egyptian SphinxJocasta and Wosret, ancient sphinxes and, in case of Jocasta, Michelle’s ancestor. They made the magical medallions everybody seems to want so badly. Michelle has occasionally accessed memories from Jocasta to give her insight on what sphinxes were really like outside of legend and heresay.
Ddraig Wen
Species: Welsh White DragonDdraig Wen lived in the Middle Ages, and she went through a lot of trouble to invite the local sphinxes out to rural Merseyside to try to convince them to make medallions for dragons. It didn’t go well.
Dis Pater
Species: Armenian VishapThe only dragon to survive the Great War, Dis Pater took a bunch of dragon eggs to another plane of dimension to escape annihilation: Dis. Now he’s known as the Father by all the dragons he’s raised, and his opinion of the mortal realm and those who live there is…low.
Vera
Species: DemonVera is a demon and she wants to get out of Dis. That’s all anyone really knows about her. She’s loud, she’s brash, she’s flippant, and she confuses Michelle greatly. She did get out of Dis, though.
The Grimm Brothers
Species: DemonsAzreal, Mikhail, and Damien are three Demon brothers who have been tasked to capture Michelle and bring her back to some mysterious leader of theirs. They were coming to the mortal plane via a close-by Hellmouth that Gabe destroyed, making it very difficult for them to come back any time soon.
Hellmouth
Species: hellmouthA portal to Dis, the home of demons. The Grim Brothers used the Hellmouth located in Not Much Sink cave near the Dogpatch Avalon to return to the mortal plane every time Gabe or Michelle banished them back to their own plane. Gabe destroyed the Hellmouth, so the Grim Brothers will have to find a new Hellmouth to return. Luckily for them, Dis is full of Hellmouths.
Eustace Swiftrunner
Species: Fox TotemThe owner of the Springfield Avalon, Eustace is a Totem Fox that doesn’t get out often. He relies on his best friend Marshall to tell him stories of things he’d never do himself.

Myra Reinkemeyer
Species: BugbearA malcontent Bugbear who makes a living working odd seasonal jobs, Myra met Michelle’s group while working as a scarer at a haunted corn maze during Halloween. Like Greg, her medallion is broken, leaving her left eye permanently bugbear-y. She wears an eyepatch over it when pretending to be a human.
Gabe
Species: AngelGabe is an Angel. There’s not much else known about Gabe. They appear to be begrudgingly helping Michelle stay safe from the demons that are following her. They appear to be incredibly powerful, but it takes a lot for them to want to use any of them.
Hank Feebay
Species: Chickadee TotemHenry Feebay
Hank might be a small and adorable Chickadee Totem but he’s very concerned about the safety of the Dogpatch Avalon. When Gabe visits the Avalon, Hank becomes his escort and tries his very best to do a good job. He is a very helpful bird!
Ol' Ivory
Species: Ivory-Billed Woodpecker TotemTotem animals are tied to their animals, and if their animal goes extinct, so does the Totem. As an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Totem, Ol’ Ivory doesn’t know how much longer he has to live. He’s been taking care of the Dogpatch Avalon’s monster sentries for as long as anyone can remember, but lately he’s been delegating out his responsibilities to Ricky and Obi.
Richard Vogt and Obidiah Tragos
Species: Nokk and SatyrRicky and Obi are a Nokk and a Satyr being trained by Ol’ Ivory to take his place as the animal-handlers for the Dogpatch Avalon’s sentries.

Obi was possessed by Damien Grim in order to steal the Nightmare away from Dogpatch and sic her on Michelle.
The Nightmare
Species: NightmareA being made of shadows and a horse skull, the Nightmare preys on her victims by trapping them in terrible hallucinations of their worst fears and sucking out their life force while they are asleep. She was sent by the Grim Brothers to capture Michelle, but was defeated by Myra. Nightmare actually belongs to Ol’ Ivory and acts as a sentry for the Dogpatch Avalon, but was stolen by the demons and later returned by Gabe.
Abigail Okypete
Species: HarpyCo-owner of the Underground, Abbie is a bubbly Welsh Harpy who is friends with nearly everyone. She and her husband Tim try to help Anthony out when he turns into a bird monster. She seems to enjoy a moderate amount of respect in the Avalon despite her “monster” status.
Tim
Species: HumanThe Liverpool Avalon’s resident Sorcerer, Tim co-owns a popular nightclub called the Underground with his wife, Abbie. Although he’s a Human, Tim’s magical experiments have backfired on him a couple of times, resulting in a pair of ram horns growing out of his head. Ever since then, Tim’s been a lot more careful about the magic he uses. Magic is a fickle force, and Tim isn’t about to mess around with stuff he doesn’t fully understand.
Samuel Harold Ainesborough
Species: Reverse Gryphon (maybe)Sam Hain is a Reverse Gryphon. Or at least, he is super absolutely sure he’s a reverse gryphon, but his Turning didn’t “work” and he’s stuck as a human. Everybody else just thinks he’s a regular ol’ human, though, like his mother. So now he’s apprenticing under Tim to learn magic and fix his broken medallion. Originally created by Sheana Molloy.
Alec Orville Hyde
Species: BugbearAlec is a very traditional Bugbear, and as a traditional bugbear, that means that he lives to scare and unnerve everyone around him. He patrols the outer halls of the Liverpool Avalon, keeping unwanted humans from seeing anything they’re not supposed to. He is best friends with Ike, and plays bass in his band, the Boney Kings of Nowhere. Originally created by Sheana Molloy.
Petrus Isaac Sanford
Species: Manticore/Buggane HybridThe only known Buggane/Manticore Hybrid, Ike has a huge chip on his shoulder about his entire…everything. Hybrids are not supposed to exist, as the children of two different species are supposed to be one species or the other, not both. Manticores very much not trusted by other mythical creatures, but luckily his buggane blood allows him to shapeshift. His mother is a very traditional buggane, and has treated Ike very badly all through his childhood. His girlfriend Rhonda is trying to bring him out of his shell and see the good in himself. Originally created by Sheana Molloy.
Rhonda May Phelton
Species: Bohemian LionA Bohemian Lion that just moved to the Liverpool Avalon and is looking for her place. She makes her living primarily off of busking, and has recently taken a shine to the Avalon’s resident hybrid, Ike. She deals with conflict with her tried and true “kill them with kindness” technique. Originally created by Sheana Molloy.
Lily Snodgrass
Species: GlaistigLily is a Glaistig that means business, and by business I mean pranks. Her greatest goal in life is to prank Alec, as bugbears have a reputation of being unflappable. She has a habit of dragging her friend Dean into her shenanigans, but she knows he secretly loves it.
Dean Daud
Species: Chechen WolfA Chechen Wolf with questionable taste in friends, Dean spends most of his time trying to keep Lily from making bad decisions. He usually fails. How does he keep getting roped into her shenanigans?
Jonathan Merrywhether Lyon
Species: Nemean LionA malcontent Nemean Lion and Paul’s best friend. Jon basically raised his younger brother Lorne by himself and is very protective of him. He is also protective of the Finns, who he sees as his adoptive family. He might be a little racist. Species-ist? He doesn’t trust monsters.
Bhadraksh
Species: Noseless OneBelonging to an obscure species described by Prestor John as The Noseless Ones, Bhadraksh is a big weird scarab from India who works for Ravi. He’s rumored to sneak out of the Avalon disguised in a wig and a big coat to pass as human.
The Sanford Family
Species: BugganeIke’s Buggane family from London that recently moved to the Liverpool Avalon in order to be around more “traditional” mythical culture. His mother, Lynn, is a passive-aggressive buggane who knows what’s best for everyone. His step-father, Horace, and half-sibling Lee and Cyan, are all very pleasant, despite Lynn’s attempts. Originally created by Sheana Molloy.
NuNuala Pemberton
Species: Nemean LionNuala Pemberton is the Nemean Lion Elder and also the head of the separate Nemean Elder Council. Because Nemean lions have the potential to cause a lot of damage and trouble, the local Pride is governed seprately by the Nemean Council to make sure everybody stays in line. Nuala takes her role very seriously, and there will be no rough-housing on her watch.
Dr. Wesley Hobbes
Species: Nemean LionOutside of being the Nemean Elder, Dr. Wesley Hobbes provides a very important service to the Avalon: he’s a trained medical doctor and amateur veterinarian. Nemean lions are famously impervious to all injury outside of the claws of another Nemean lion, and as Dr. Hobbes often deals with the children of the Nemean Pride, he has more than his fair share of scares and injuries.
Usidean Carter
Species: SatyrÙsidean Carter is the Satyr Elder and well-loved among the satyr community for his strong sense of justice and also his strong sense of fashion. He and Parny hang out regularly.
Grass-of-Parnassus

Vadoma Winifred Euryale
Species: GorgonA Gorgon with a very low threshold for nonsense, Madam U owns Prestor John’s, the only place in the Liverpool Avalon that sells medallions. Gorgons have the ability to turn others to stone, but Madam U is blind, so she has lost that ability. She is a member of the Elder Council as the representative of all the Monsters that live in the Avalon.
Orville Hyde
Species: BugbearOrville Hyde has a seat on the Liverpool Avalon Elder Council as the representative from the smaller London Avalon. He loves to get a rise out of his other Council members, but when tough decisions need to be made, he knows how to be serious and keep the best interests of the mythical community at heart. He is Alec Hyde’s father and taught him everything he knows.
Hadia Ajouz
Species: CentaurThe Centaur Elder and the youngest of the Council of Elders, Hadia is very proud and does her hardest to live up to her high position in the community. She had once been called naïve, but has since taken up the mantle as the Council Skeptic. She agrees with Nuala more often than not.
Thaddeus Noir
Species: White StagThaddeus Noir is Blanche’s father and the White Stag Elder on the Elder Council. While there aren’t many white stags in the Avalon, the Noirs are a very old and respected family in the community, and THaddeus’ opinions about the future of the Avalon are highly valued.
Barnaby Brindle
Species: Wonderland RabbitLike Orville, Barnaby represents a different Avalon on the Council of Elders, this time the mysterious Wonderland Avalon. Wonderland is a unique Avalon, and the second-largest in the UK. Barnaby tries his best to bridge the communication gap between the two Avalons, but often finds himself the butt of many jokes, especially from Orville.
Stanley
Species: Sea Monster“Where does all the garbage from the Liverpool Avalon go?” Well, Stanley eats it. She eats anything. She lives in the dock waters surrounding the Liverpool Avalon, keeping watch and staying out of sight. And eating garbage. Is she some sort of plesiosaur? Is she the same thing as the Loch Ness Monster? Is the Loch Ness Monster real, too? So many questions.
Django Henja
Species: Bohemian LionThis Bohemian Lion can usually be found hanging outside one of the entrances to the Liverpool Avalon, making sure no humans get in. While that sounds exciting, it mostly involves him sitting around and reading the paper all day. Django worked in a circus in America during the 1930s with his best friend James, but unlike James, Django remembers the time fondly.
Pierce David Haywood
Species: Ouzelum BirdAn Ouzelum Bird that spends most of his day stealing fries from other people like some sorta Disneyland starling, David has the voice of an angel and the common sense of, again, a starling. He can fly backwards, though, so good for him? Originally created by Sheana Molloy.
Zech Smith
Species: CentaurA Centaur that came to the Liverpool Avalon from America with his friend Jack, Zech is the frontrunner and guitarist of the band The Four Horsemen. The band played at Jim’s going away party. He’s good friend with Elise, yet nobody is entirely sure why. He seems upset that the myths about centaurs gets everything so wrong.
Elise Madison Driver
Species: PterripiElise is a Pterippi that is profoundly unhappy with the injustices in mythical society, but doesn’t know what to do about any of it. So she’s frustrated and surly, and takes it out on those around her. She has a large tattoo of Medusa’s head on her back, for symbolic reasons.
Jack
Species: JackalopeJack is a Jackalope from America that plays guitar and does reckless stunts for extra money. He and Royce often spar off for fun and money, but Jack displays far more natural magic than most other Avalon residents, so he ends up winning the bets. He came to the Liverpool Avalon with his friend and bandmate, Zech.
Royce Carmikal
Species: Uncommon GryphonAn Uncommon Gryphon with elaborate tattoos and an hobby of sitting around and antagonizing his friends. Royce owns a tattoo parlor in the Liverpool Avalon, but makes a good amount of income from bar bets. He seems to have very fine control over his medallion magic. Created by Sfé Monster.
Phoenix
Species: Phoenix (?)Phoenix says he’s a Phoenix but maybe he’s not? Who knows. One thing is certain, he hangs out with Royce and Jack and likes to make fun of Sam Hain because his reactions are “funny.” He’s never shown any magical abilities, but also doesn’t seem super phased when witnessing magic, either. What is even his deal, yeah? Weird. Created by Sfé Monster.
Janis Jocasta
Species: HumanMichelle’s mother raised Michelle by herself after the tragic death of her husband Michael. When Michelle revealed to her that she was a sphinx, Janice put on a strong face for her daughter and is trying to accept everything.
Ophelia Gillis

Adelle Noir
Species: PerytonBlanche’s mother is a piebald Peryton, and it’s lucky she has wings so she can teach Anthony how to properly take care of his. She’s graciously opened her house to Anthony so he has a place to stay while he’s figuring out his whole…harpy thing. Created by Sfé Monster.
The Missouri Monster
Species: Undead Missouri MonsterAccording to legend, the Missouri Monster, or Momo, is a Skunk Ape that roamed Missouri during the ’70s and harassed old ladies eating peanut butter sandwiches.
That’s true, look it up.
