MV Characters

Cast of Characters:

Max Fightmaster

Max is "the only Knight in all the land" and is originally tasked with rescuing Ashlynne. On his way out of the Mountain Kingdom he slips on a banana peel, falls into the moat, and drowns. This is his only appearance in the game.

Nadine

Nadine is the protagonist and the only playable character. She is the heroine of the story: rough, tough, audacious, and generally more of a man than any of the men in the mountain Kingdom (all of whom are at least twice as manly as the men from the Valley Kingdom); but spoiled by luxury and as comfortable in gowns as in armor. She is beautiful, strong, and skilled: a capable warrior and well able to take on the rôle of saving the other princess. Physically she is shapely, feminine, but well-toned and athletic, with a very meager bosom but a great arse.

Nadine treats the whole game as a sort of chore, dirtying her hands for no good reason. She seems aware that she is a video-game character controlled by a player; makes frequent references to the tropes employed by the game; and tends to do a fair amount of complaining. But, when all is done and said, she is having fun.

Ashlynne Nadia

As princess of the Valley Kingdom, Ashlynne plays the hapless victim in need of rescuing, whose purpose is to get kidnapped and locked up in Wayne Tower. Physically she is very attractive, with flowing blond hair and one absolutely dynamite rack.

The King

The King of the Mountain Kingdom is The King. Seriously, that’s his name: The King. And not even King; his proper name is The King. He walks around being The King and singing into a hairbrush. The player only talks to him when she wants something. Yes, The King looks like a fat Elvis impersonator. We may even try with using tracks and clips of Elvis Presley himself for all of the king's dialogue... just make it fit somehow.

The King will give you:

• Up to 3 free levels
• Gold equivalent to the Experience Points of the last level you gained, up to 3 times for different levels
• A suit of pink armor which can be as good as the best set in the game

The Blacksmith

This is the guy to upgrade your armor and weapons. Upgrades cost major farthings, and the smith is always busy working on his ISO 9000 standardization. The smith will act as a general vendor selling basic versions of most weapons and armor. He will also perform upgrades provided you have the needed material. Upgrades usually cost a small fortune, with the exception of the pink armor, which he will (while laughing at you) upgrade to any suit you bring him.

The Merchant

This guy is a little weird. First off, his shop is in 5 locations. Second, there’s only one of him! He is the same merchant throughout the entire game and he has a persistent shop inventory, with new items becoming available as the player’s level increases. Any item you sell to him remains in his shop indefinitely.

Wayne Domicraw

Wayene is the Evil Disco Techno Sorcerer Person (EDTSP) who is hell-bent on... actually, it's never made exactly clear what he's trying to accomplish. He's clearly sobosexual, so he has no interest in forcing Ashlynne to marry him. He consorts almost exclusively with robots, and despite commanding a force easily able to devastate the Mountain and Valley kingdoms, he just sort of sits back and hangs out in his Evil Lair. He fills the role of Big Bad in the game but nobody is sure why.

Wayne is the antagonist, an evil inventor. He isn’t so much ‘bad’ as ‘insane’. His machinations terrorize the land. When he kidnaps a princess, no one is the slightest bit surprised.

Characters based on the creators

These are four characters based on the four founding members of the SomethingSoft Unofficial Dev Team, all of whom are supposed to have contributed in some way to the game (we were originally planning to make it together, and I assume all of them will still help me some).

The IT Guy

Wait, why is there an IT guy in a fantasy game? IT Guy’s actual function in-game is to allow the princess to buy experience points at an exchange rate of 1 GP per XP. Otherwise he just sits around making jokes and complaining about how little employment there is for Information Technology Specialists in a medieval fantasy world. His appearance is quite anachronistic until you realize there is actually a lot of technology in the game.

The Mystic

This is the primary quest-giver in-game, though he appears to be smoking something. Basically you can go to him for information anytime you dare. The Mystic advances the plot, though you can move the game forward without him. His role is to fill in any plot-points the player may have missed while having fun.

The Master

Your old teacher. Mostly you hear his voice in your head as you battle, but you can visit him in-game for combat tips. Mostly, he explains how the game works and the rules. He is the tutorial guy!

The DDR Guy

Doesn’t do much besides play DDR and mention occasional game secrets. You'll actually find him randomly at any number of DDR machines spread throughout the game.
