DOMINIC MAGNUSSON

LinkA drawing of Dominic by Ava Ire.

Dominic "Dom" Magnusson is an incredibly short, neurotic, twenty-nine year old former accountant from the cold, Scandinavian-esque country of Barboneia. Known for his short temper, disdain of most others, and love of fedoras, Dom was first seen in a place known as "The Steel Building" on permanent vacation, where he met his former girlfriend and travel partner, Ava Ire. Together, they started traveling to the Liquid Wallaby and it's many incarnations, joining in on the general antics that went on there. However, Dom and Ava broke up in April of 2016, in the "Bitter End" bar in Unzen, Japan. They've since gone their separate ways.

Dom has done many interesting things, including, but not limited to:

-Killed himself and ended up being brought back to life.
-Became a woman and was forced to travel across Arkadacia to please a god/goddess, so he could return to normal.
-Was nearly killed by an angry plant spirit.
-Became friends with a grey ghost.
-Lived in London for a bit, before being banned from the United Kingdom for the general chaos he caused.
-Had a relationship with a grey-skinned alien.

Dom can be described as a womanizer, a depraved bisexual, an apathetic, and generally a very rude and cynical person. The few friends he's made have all but abandoned him, and he is prone to having violent outbursts when he is angry. Despite this, he often risked himself for his former love, Ava, and vowed to never leave her, which, of course, is untrue.

In the span of time since Japan, Dom has managed to become human (well, human enough for an undead person, that is) again, and has somehow become the CEO of a paper weight company based in St. Petersburg, Russia. He wants to have no more contact with the people he met in the Wallaby, but unfortunately for him, he has some unresolved affairs back in Barboneia that will soon catch up to him.

Dom stands at four feet eight inches tall. He has short brown hair, a rather round, soft face, grey eyes, and a seemingly permanent scowl. He usually enjoys wearing a business suit and a fedora.

ALEXI VOLGA

LinkA drawing of Alexi, also by Ava Ire.

Alexi Grigorovich Volga is a friendly, somewhat naïve thirty year old former military pilot from Barbonia, albeit from a different area than Dominic Magnusson. First coming to the Liquid Wallaby due to what seemed to be a wormhole, Alexi is a kind-hearted, patriotic Communist, who attempts to act unconfrontational whenever possible. He prides himself in his knowledge of aircrafts and soviet history, and is more than glad to tell people about both of those things. He has found himself in a relationship with Adicei, an elf who is technically thousands of years older than him. He enjoys fishing.

Alexi is known to not be incredibly smart, but sometimes has surprising bouts of intelligence, especially in critical situations. He is known to be a bit of a jokester, and his love of vodka is quite obvious. Despite him having a Russian name, accent, and mannerisms, he is actually fully Barboneian, and it is unknown why he acts so Russian.

Sometime in July of 2016, Alexi managed to get himself stranded in Iceland. Not seeming to care much, he has once again become a fisherman. He currently lives in Reykjavík.

Alexi is heavy built and muscular, with short brown hair and deep brown eyes. He stands at about six feet two, and always has a neatly trimmed beard. He is usually seen wearing jeans, a heavy brown trench coat, military boots, and a black ushanka with a hammer and sickle emblem embroidered onto it.

SIMON STENDAHL

LinkA drawing of Simon, by yours truly.

Simon Jarle Stendahl is an affable, somewhat unusual twenty-two year old programmer from Västerort, Stockholm, in an alternate Sweden (Stalenhag sweden). Said Sweden is currently in 1995, and seems to be more advanced than the real-world Sweden in certain aspects. Simon was a freelance programmer who mostly worked for the electronics company Krafta Systems, and owned a rather nice house on the outskirts of Västerort, in the Hässelby Villastad section. He is fluent in both Swedish and English, and when he speaks in English he has a slight Swedish accent relative to those from Stockholm. He speaks eloquently, and is quite intelligent, having gone to college for five years, and was considered a prodigy child as he managed to enroll at seventeen.

Simon, although having quickly adapted to the 2010s, still seems to have nostalgia from the time period he so quickly left, and thus likes many things from the era, such as Nintendo, the bands ABBA and A-ha, and Volvo cars, himself having owned a Volvo 440 before he was transported to the present. Although friendly to everyone, he sometimes has a nervous attitude, and is unable to find the right words to say in what he considers critical situations. Simon often goes into long winding, informative conversations about certain tidbits brought up to him. He enjoys talking a lot, and is quite social.

Simon stands at five feet eleven, and has a skinny, unimposing frame. He has short, curly brown hair and is quite pale in skin tone. He has crisp blue eyes. His fashion sense seems to leave something to be desired, as he usually wears hoodies, parkas, and other types of jackets with track pants of various colors or jeans, and black and white Vans sneakers.


Unintroduced Characters for the Koala (which'll never happen at this point ffs)

SYDODAL

Griuxohne Snaubal Uwozon Sydodal is a soft-spoken, intelligent male demon on vacation to the mortal plane from "The Underworld". Usually stuck working long shifts back in his realm doing various tasks for his resident lord, he is happy to have finally been giving a decade long break to enjoy himself.

Unlike most of his kind, he is rather friendly to mortals and enjoys speaking to them, but usually doesn't try to get attached to people. He speaks in such a way that most people can't help but find themselves entranced by him. He rarely gets angry, but when he does the opposing party is usually in for a world of pain. He is naturally servile, and oftentimes finds himself helping or doing things for others even when he doesn't mean to.

Sydodal was not always a demon, but seems to be hesitant to talk about himself. It is unknown how old he truly is.

In the mortal plane, Sydodal appears as a rather handsome human male at 5'10" with light purple skin and short, silky black hair. His eyes are a deep red and he usually wears a dark purple business suit.

DONALD SUTHERLAND

Donald "Don" Ryan Sutherland, not to be confused with the Canadian actor, is a thirty-two year old game developer from Brisbane, Australia. Bitter, cynical, and rude, he usually avoids associating himself with others, as he seems to hate pretty much everyone. He seems to have an irrational hatred for British people, and hates being stereotyped.

He has recently moved to New Srete to work at his game studio's Pravyetian branch. Against his will. He doesn't like the locals.

Don is five feet nine inches and usually wears shabby, drab suits. He has green eyes, short, gelled back brown hair, and a seemingly permanent five o'clock shadow.

RICHARD VITALI-GERE

Richard "Ricky" Louis Vitali-Gere is a thirty-eight year old Pravyetian pawnbroker living and working in New Srete. Born in Chicago, Illinois, United States, to Pravyetian immigrants, he had a difficult childhood and had to drop out of school early to help make money for the family. However, at nineteen he was recruited into the American branch of the Pravyetian mafia and often committed many crimes across the country. He eventually moved to Pravyet to work for the mob there, but retired a few years later.

Despite his upbringing and former career choice, he's a very friendly, often eccentric man who can make friends with just about everyone. He helps people in need and is quite charitable.

Richard stands at five feet ten inches and has rather tired looking brown eyes. He usually sports a rather fantastic goatee, and often wears semi-formal clothing such as white dress shirts, dress pants, and suit vests.

SALOMON TUOMINEN

Salomon Arhippa Tuominen is a twenty-eight year old agent for the Barboneian government. He has been sent to the Wallabyverse to observe it and report on it to the government, while also looking to find a way to bring Dominic Magnusson back to Barboneia to be dealt with by the government. He has been in Tinell since July of 2016.

Salomon is incredibly racist and nationalist, being a part of the far-right Barboneian Party and often stating how all other races and species are inferior to pure-bred Barboneians. Despite this, he is surprisingly friendly to most people, and doesn't even seem to get angry, but it is probably only so he can make sure that they don't get in his way, and has stated that he would happily kill people if he had to. He could be considered faux affably evil.

Salomon is five feet eleven inches, and has somewhat pale skin, although not as pale as many other Barboneians. He has green eyes and thick but short brown hair with a prominent widow's peak. He usually wears well-starched business suits, usually in white or grey. Salomon speaks with an eloquent Southern Barboneian accent, which seems to be a strange mix of a Finnish and English accent. He is considered quite handsome by many people.

RUDOLF KLAUS

Dr. Rudolf Bernard Klaus-Marx is a calm, quiet forty-six year old German immigrant to Barboneia, currently working for the Barboneian government as an agent for the Ministry of Paranormal Occurrences.

With a Ph.D in Paranormal Research from the University of Cologne, he is an intelligent yet humble man with a love of travelling. Having worked in the MPO for the last twenty years, he has the role of Director of Multiversal Studies, and is currently visiting the Tinellverse to try and find a link between there and the recent spate of paranormal activity across Barboneia.

He is a kind man, and likes to be referred to as "Rudy". He is good friends with Sydodal as they have met before on several occasions, and is considered a co-worker of Salomon as they're both working for the Barboneian government. He speaks Finnish, German, and English.

Rudolph stands at five feet eight with a rather thin build. He has short, curly blonde hair and wears brown spectacles. He usually wears a faded brown vest over a grey turtleneck sweater, khaki pants, and brown loafers.

CYRILLE PLANTIER

Cyrille Arnaud Plantier is a twenty-six year old Canadian businessman from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Having visited Pravyet on a business trip, he's stuck there waiting for the next plane back to Canada. Unfortunately, that plane won't be arriving anytime soon.

Cyrille is fluent in both French and English, but usually speaks in French. He is friendly to just about everyone, and seems to be quite laid-back and calm.

Cyrille is five feet six inches, and wears a blue and grey striped suit. He has long, curly black hair down past his ears, and dark blue eyes.

THE NEWSCASTERS

Two sarcastic, ever present news anchors for the local news station wherever the Koala is currently at. Grantham Blacke is a British man in his late thirties with a bad comb-over and a brown suit, while his partner Johen Steinnefelt is a light-furred Melanth in a blue suit and has a marvelous mustache.
