Hydro's Underdeveloped Character Database

This page is used for character concepts that I have but aren't fleshed out enough to warrant a wiki page, regardless of how important they are in their respective stories.
As they continue to develop, they will be removed from this page into pages of their own. This is to not flood the wiki with pages that are mostly blank for this many characters, and also a way to continue to reveal plot elements I've kept quiet on.
Once everyone has their own wiki page, this page will be deleted.

# Acantha

## Rundown

The main overarching villain, behind the summoning of the shadow monsters that caused so much destruction. These are just a side-effect of her main goal, that being to summon a massive beast able to create a realm of her own at the cost of destroying everything around her.
She does not have a specific element tied to her, though an ability of note would be where if she were to turn someone into a vampire, she'd have the ability to have them directly under her thumb, being able to destroy them from the inside out through her curse wherever they may be if they were to disobey/displease her.
She probably also has a cool streak of grey through her dark hair.

Associated color is a bit unstable, but is definitely somewhere between red and purple.

# Unnamed Innkeeper

## Rundown

Took Magnus in to give him a place to stay after he begged him to, at the cost of working him to the bone, not giving any pay, and generally giving him the bare minimum. After Magnus got into an altercation and revealed he was the one member of the Ambrose family to escape the fire, the innkeeper added a new job for him. Magnus would be sent out at night by paying commissioners to protect them anonymously from the shadow creature attacks, or be paid (and forced) to kill someone.
It all went smoothly for the innkeeper, until he gave him a mission to kill at the traveling circus...

# Unnamed Son of the Innkeeper

## Rundown

As though Magnus' time at the inn wasn't bad enough, being overworked in the day and forced to be an assassin by night, he had the innkeeper's son to deal with. He'd always make sure to kick Magnus while he was down, a common saying whenever he made a mistake being that he "won't let him get off that easily".
One day, Magnus finally snapped and lashed out towards him, but revealed his vampiric nature in front of the innkeeper which led to his abilities to be exploited as an assassin, unless he wanted his identity outed and be quickly executed.
This gave the son a massive ego boost, knowing that Magnus had no way to disobey.
Wait, what's this?
Magnus has been conversing with someone at the traveling circus?
Oh ho, he's going to get it now.

Associated color may seem undefined at first, but is a sea green.

# Unnamed Healer/Support Member

## Rundown

A magic user, with abilities focusing on light, barriers, and healing but his physical weapon is yet to be decided. He was out on his own quest, whatever that may be, until he was caught by a shadow creature boss. He joins Magnus and Aelia's party after being rescued. He tends to be the gentler person compared to Magnus and Aelia's more forward natures.

Associated color is probably some type of blue, a shade that differs from Vince while not seeming too unnatural.

# "Spirit of the Woods"

## Rundown

**Rain:** *"Legends say that after fighting with the higher-ups in his town, the man cursed the land with a storm that leveled the place. Those who survived banished him into the woods, where he died alone. They say anyone who wanders those woods will start to feel the same harsh winds that caused the near wipeout of a town."*

**Vince:** *"Rain, it's almost 4am. I'm trying to sleep."*

Associated color may be a dusty brown.

# Magnus' Father

## Rundown

A full fledged vampire, whose abilities play a bit closer to what's typically expected. His magic abilities tend to be a bit more "generic" rather than being tied to a specific type, and is able to shapeshift into certain animals. Of course, he was also a swordsman and taught Magnus what he could do. Magnus also mentions how he was able to sprout wings, with a large enough span to block the view of the moon in his eyes. He died beneath the rubble of his manor after it was burned to the ground by a hysterical mob, blaming his family for the incoming waves of shadow creatures.

# Magnus' Mother

## Rundown

A human mage and dark magician. She taught Magnus most of what he knew before her untimely death at the hands of the mob's destruction on the manor. Had she not started training Magnus at a young age in the art of dark magic, his magical abilities would've been severely limited.

# Big Bad Beast Thingy

## Rundown

The beast that Acantha is trying to summon. It has the capability to create its own realms, but at the destruction of the current one it resides in.
An effect of trying to summon it is the seemingly never-ending wave of its minions roaming the land, though the exact correlation is unknown.
Despite its great power, it's incredibly animalistic and is unable to make any actual decisions without influence. As a result, it tends to be rather passive, remaining deep underground in slumber until awakened.

# Holly

## Rundown

A good friend of Rain, Vince, and Ken. She and Rain hang out the most, sharing a load of interests with each other and often collaborating on creative projects. She was the one to help Rain and Vince settle in a school environment once they were enrolled and started their first day.
After the shadow creatures mysteriously begin to rise again, she witnesses a terrible accident with the others and begins to fear for her safety. She approached Aelia, who helped and made her a wrist watch with a few laser-based uses she can use to get herself out of a sudden pinch.
She may not be into sparring or jumping into the front lines in battle (she's not the biggest fan of having rocks and fireworks chucked at her), but will do the absolute best she can to band together in a situation she finds herself in.

Associated color is a light pink.

# Mason's Father

## Rundown

A magician that used his abilities to commit crime as a villainous persona, often jeering at Magnus that his young son was more coordinated in his attacks.
He decided to bring his son, Mason, as a trump card during a heist one time to help ambush Magnus...and...

# Ken's Grandmother

## Rundown

She quickly swooped in to care for young Ken after his parents abandoned him and cut all ties due to his unstable, sometimes dangerous, developing fire abilities. She may not have any abilities of her own, or experience around them, but she did the best she could to raise Ken to be an upstanding, caring child. It was her calling.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much she could do for him in regards to school incidents and how other students treated him there. She noted how he'd always gloss over his days at school in conversation and would become mortified and greatly apologetic at the slightest mistakes. It had her understandably worry until one day, Ken came home and finally mentioned names. Names of friends. Friends who claimed they had powers just like him, with parents that had experience. Caving into Ken's bright eyes as he pleaded to visit his new friends' home, she happily grabbed her coat and drove him to the lone manor on the town outskirts.

# Unnamed Sound-Based Villain

## Physical description

### Gender

Female? Male? Neither? (I keep ping-ponging)

## Rundown

They attack via audio-visualizers. They make stairs, sound waves, platforms, you name it so long as it ties into the theming, with the instrument-themed gadgets they have. Their eyes are covered by a visor. I'm trying so very hard not to accidentally make Ember help me-

A single associated color is a bit difficult to pin down, but their hypothetical color scheme consists of deep blues, pinks, and purples on top of black.

# Dr. Ganache

## Rundown

After an argument during a card game with Plumber, Cherri, and Graham questioning his potential to lead a kingdom, Dr. Ganache stormed out to convince he could rule by taking over the Sundae Seaside and proving everyone else to be inferior.
His first course of action is to ruin Plumber's reputation as the resident "competent good guy" by humiliating him in battle. If Cherri tags along? Even better!
He's a large brown and red gila monster, who dons a black shirt and rubber gloves, goggles, and white lab coat. The sclera of his eyes are a bright yellow.

His associated color is a dark red-brown.

# Mecha-Plumber

## Rundown

After carefully observing Plumber in action, Dr. Ganache pieced together what he deems to be a perfect metallic copy of Plumber. Ganache plans to use Mecha-Plumber to compete against the real deal and deem him obsolete.
Mecha-Plumber does not emote or really do anything without being commanded by Dr. Ganache.

His associated color, and general color scheme is still up in the air. The more he looks like a bootleg fast food toy, the better.
