CAST OF CHARACTERS



Main Characters
Ness

The hero of the game. He swings hard with his baseball bat, and he's got some good psychic skills too.
Paula

A powerful psychic from Twoson. She has some of the best offensive PSI in the game, and in a pinch she can attack with her frying pan or Pray for assistance. She needs to be rescued from Carpainter's evil cultists.
Jeff

An inventive young man from far-off Winters. He can't use PSI, but he can fix up guns and other items to help the party. Try his bottle rockets for extra kick!
Poo

The crown prince from the land of Dalaam. He's got well-rounded attack skills, versatile PSI, and the ability to morph into enemies with his Mirror move, but he can't stomach any kind of Eagleland food.




Family & Friends
Ness's Mom

Some mothers just wave goodbye and are never heard from again, but Ness can always give his mom a call if he's feeling homesick, or even come home for a health-restoring dinner.
Ness's Dad

He's never seen, but he makes his presence felt by being there when Ness needs to save his game.
Tracy

Ness's sister has a part-time job at Escargo Express. She can help her big brother store his useless items when he doesn't need them any more.
King

A faithful dog, at least until he gets spooked by the meteorite.
Paula's Mom

The cheerful lady who runs the Polestar Preschool. She's not too worried about her daughter's disappearance. She makes her own first-aid equipment, too!
Paula's Dad

A frantic, suspicious man. You'd be that way too if all your time was spent trying to keep TV stations away while you worried about your kidnapped psychic daughter.
Dr. Andonuts

Jeff's absentminded father. Inventor of the Sky Runner. Not all of his inventions explode.




Runaway Five
Lucky

One of the two lead members of the Runaway Five. Be sure to talk to him when you visit Twoson.

One of the two lead members of the Runaway Five. He's a dance machine!
Runaway Five Guy 1

Runaway Five Guy 3

Drummer for the Runaway Five. Also drives the band's tour bus.
Runaway Five Guy 4

The Runaway Five has six members?! Who knows. Rumor has it this member is just a house keyboardist.




Other People
Pokey Minch

The worst kid in town, and also your next-door neighbor. Bad luck, yeah? But you have no idea just HOW bad...
Picky Minch

Pokey's little brother. His early disappearance sets off a huge adventure.
Aloysius Minch

Pokey's dad. A big jerk. Try to ignore his smack-talk.
Lardna Minch

Pokey's mom. Don't hate her just because she turns out to be a murderer...
Lier X. Agerate

A billboard guy and professional truth-bender. Visit his house, though, and he'll show you something he's not just bragging about.
Frank Fly

Look out! The boss of the Sharks is handy with a knife, and if he can't beat you, his trusty Frankystein robot just might.
B.H. Pirkle

Not all politicians are corrupt, lying, camera hogs. But B.H. Pirkle totally is. You'll have to suck up to him if you want to get to Giant Step.
Captain Strong

The head honcho of the Onett Police Force. If you can get past his fellow cops, he'll take you on himself with his Super Ultra Mambo Tango Foxtrot martial arts!
Everdred

The best crime boss ever. He watches over Burglin Park from the roof of his bungalo, a beacon of Hawaiian-shirted vigilante justice under whom the merchants can gather.
Apple Kid

A brilliant inventor. His dirty house is just a sign of his genius, really. Give him some food and invest in his work, and he'll repay the favor again and again.
Orange Kid

A stuck-up inventor. Oh, sure, his house looks nice and tidy, but he's too darn egotistical to really be any help. He did build the Super Orange Machine, though.
Carpainter

An insane cult leader obsessed with painting the whole world blue. He's even gone so far as to kidnap Paula so he can turn her into the high priestess. Watch out for his lightning attacks!
Tony

Jeff's roommate at the Snow Wood Boarding House. He'll help the inventive lad make a daring nighttime bust-out.
Maxwell Labs

Jeff's science teacher. He thinks it's funny to give bent locker keys to students. Be persistent and he'll eventually hand over the Bad Key Machine.

The greatest dungeon designer. Someday he wants to become Dungeon Man, the first human-dungeon combination in history. Kind of obsessive.
George Montague

Gerardo Montague

A fellow in the mining business with his brother George. One day, Gerardo had a vision, so he started digging a hole in the desert. They're hoping to strike it rich with gold someday.
Talah Rama

A far-seeing guru and a friend of desert monkeys. Kind of a weirdo, but put up with his rambling about predeterminism and he'll give you a Trout Yoghurt Machine.
Geldegarde Monotoli

The mayor of Fourside. Some say he got all his power from an evil entity. But really, he's just a poor old man. In either case, he's not unlike most politicians.
Electra

Mr. Monotoli's maid. A helpful friend to have if you want to get to the top of the Monotoli Building.
Venus

A beautiful new singer at the Topolla Theater. Lots of people are really into her, and not just for her singing!

Sea Captain

Husband of the Magic Cake Lady. If you can get her to stop going to the Stoic Club, he'll let you pay for a ride in his boat. Watch out for the Kraken!
Star Master

Jackie

Proprietor of his own cafe in Fourside. Doesn't seem to mind weird music or drunken patrons who think the restroom is inside the wall.
Mach Pizza Man

A delivery man for Mach Pizza. He's suprisingly slow at delivering things, despite his company's name.

Miss Fake

The corrupt manager of the Topolla Theater in Fourside. She manages to trick the Runaway Five into signing a lousy contract. She really likes sparkly things, though...
Poo's Master

For years, Poo has studied Mu training under this master. When the time is right, he'll send Poo out into the world to fulfill his destiny.
Slot Machine Brothers

The slot machine in the desert is broken, but these brothers - Pincho, Pancho, and Tomas Jefferson - are kind enough to take its place.
Tribe Guys

These natives live in southern Scaraba. They're actually rather friendly, even if they do carry spears around.
Venus's Mom

A resident of Twoson. She constantly worries about her daughter who left for Fourside to make it big.
Zombie Chick

This chick is freaky! Not that that's very surprising - most of Threed is pretty messed up when Ness first visits.

Buzz Buzz

A helpful alien from 10 years in the future. Listen carefully to what he's got to say.
