== Summary ==
The Coolie is the main protagonist of Where They Cremate the Roadkill. In short, Coolie is, as described by the game manual, "a jobless pleb who has recently quit their pills". The first action he is shown taking is committing suicide via Genie, for unknown reasons, only or God to send him back down to the earth. Upon seeking to bury the sentient remains of his roommate, he meets Emnn, barer of the tarot card The Devil, who encourages him to go on a mass killing spree to exact revenge on those who he believes have troubled him in his past lives. With every crime Coolie would commit, Emnn's power and influence over him, as well as the world around him, would only grow.
In his past lives, he took the forms of the Fictionist and Noshka as well. During certain points in the game, the perspective will shift to that of one of those characters, making a flashback to the Coolie's previous lives. These two particular characters play an important background role in the story, and the Coolie also gets to briefly summon them to seek aid from their abilities.

Standard Equipment:
Weapons: Coolie obtains a variety of different weapons throughout the game, each of which have a chargeable special attack that is used via holding down the attack button for a certain amount of time (usually 3 to 5 seconds). If Coolie is hit by an attack while charging, the attack will be interrupted and cancelled. 
*Butter Knife: A basic knife given to Coolie at the beginning of the game.
**Spiral: Charging the attack button with the butter knife and releasing will make the Coolie infuse red energy into the knife and perform a powerful spinning attack.
*Dentures: A pair of dentures that Coolie uses to bite foes.
**Haste: Holding down the attack button and releasing with the Dentures will give Coolie a temporary boost in speed. Judging by the animation effects of the move, which consists of a clock slowing down, it is likely done via slowing down time.
*​Ceremonial Scissors: A big pair of scissors that may as well be hedge clippers.
**Slash: A powerful triple slash attack.
*Pepper Spray: ​A bottle of pepper spray that damages opponents when spraying them with it, presumably via contact with the eyes.
**Gas Cloud: Creates a small cloud of pepper spray. Anybody who makes contact it aside from Coolie will take repeated damage and possibly get inflicted with temporary poison as well.
*Healing Hand: A floating hand that pushes opponents back with small telekinetic waves.
**Blue Flame: Briefly covers Coolie in a blue flame. Anybody who makes contact with him in this state will take damage from the heat.
*Wyrmling: A strange bird/reptile hybrid that the Coolie can command to fly out, attack opponents, steal items, and fly back.
**Dragon Fire: The Wyrmling flies up and unleashes a large blue flame onto the ground. This blue flame then fires out four orange flames, each of which travelling in a completely different direction (left, right, forward, backward)
*Makeshift Mace: A club with a bunch of nails in it.
*Bowie Knife: A red knife that can attack with various different elements such as water, fire, darkness, and ice.
*Compact Bow: A bow that can fire projectile arrows, as long as Coolie has them in supply.
**Bomb Arrow: An arrow with a bomb attached to it. Can only be used if Coolie has either of these in supply.
*KG-14 Guitar: A guitar that attacks by creating short-ranged sound waves and lightning bolts.
*Whatsis: An unidentifiable object. Seems to be a large strawberry-like object that wouldn't serve a very good purpose as a melee weapon, but it inflicts the most damage out of any weapon in the game and its attack animations are cryptic and strange; each hit makes three cryptic symbols appear and float across the screen. The amount of damage inflicted seems to oscillate with every attack, and it is the only weapon that can damage the Orphic Egg.
**Top: The special attack of the Whatsis creates a large, human-sized top that moves in whatever direction Coolie commands it to. This top can repeatedly inflict damage by ramming into opponents.
*Caduceus: A wand with a wings and a moon on the end of it. Fires several moon-shaped energy projectiles. Can also fire omni-directional danmaku of said projectiles. Uses an energy known as "Astra" for ammunition, and must take time to recharge after its supply is depleted.
*Talkative Revolver (Genie) A sentient revolver that can talk. Her bullets double as eggs that birth her young from the corpse of the victim. She also has a Holding down the attack button and releasing fires an explosive round of darkness at the opponent, which is entirely magic based and doesn't use up bullets.
*Chat Kat: A phone that was originally a Genie, until Emnn transmutated it into a Cat Phone and gave it to Coolie.
**Scanning: Chat Kat can scan things to gain information. She can scan targets or NPCs to give Coolie brief bios of information, or scan rooms for anomalous properties (particularly dimensional disturbances), allowing Coolie to find secret doors.
**Downloading: Chat Kat can download the entirety of military history at moment's notice, and use that knowledge to give Coolie tactics. For reference, Where They Cremate the Roadkill takes place long after the year 3XXX and war is still an occurrence, so this means that Chat Kat can download well over 3 millenniums' worth of military information. Chat Kat can also presumably download maps of areas as well, as she has implied that she uses such features to guide Coolie.
**Duck Hunt: Chat Kat has a playable minigame involving the shooting of ducks and clones of Coolie. By playing this game, Coolie can win healing items and free experience points. Towards the end of the game, Chat Kat has displayed the ability to summon the ducks from inside the screen to attack opponents.

Weaknesses: Seemingly driven entirely by revenge
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Spells:
*Provoke: Provokes a passive being into aggressiveness while inflicting 1 HP of damage.
*The Love of Money: Fires an omnidirectional danmaku of coins. Takes away 25 from the current amount of money Coolie possesses.
*Summon Noshka: Summons a Noshka, Coolie's totem animal, into battle. Up to three of them can be summoned at once.
*Otherworld Relic: Summons a long, thin rectangular prism, one of the objects commonly found floating around the realm that Fictionist lived in. It slowly floats around the screen, dealing great damage to anybody who touches it.
*Mind Barrier: Coolie seeks aid from one of his past lives, calling for Fictionist to create a mind barrier to protect him from physical attacks.
*Toughen: Temporarily boosts Coolie's defense.

*Tongue Lash: Fires Coolie's tongue at the opponent to inflict damage. Coolie immediately regenerates the tongue after use.
*Convulse: Coolie dashes around the screen in a square-like pattern, generating electric jolts and creating after images. Deals heavy damage to anybody he collides with.
*Downvote: Removes any positive status effects or power boosts from a selected target.
*Puppet Putty: Makes massive drops of clay fall down onto the ground from various places around the screen.
Note: Despite being a ghost, the Coolie is still capable of being hurt by clearly tangible and corporeal beings, so he is not given intangibility.
