Battista

Vampire bat monster

Radio station owner and host

Moderate gambler

Composed in speech, but wears his emotions on his face

Used to denounce conspiracy theories, gradually shifted to spreading them after a certain incident

Made a "deal" with Anton, leading to both meeting often

Jonney

Fruit bat monster

Radio host and voice actor, away from work due to lung complications

Was Battista's coworker before marrying him

Old friend of the Boom family

Just wants to grill and chill

Has diminutive wings, which Chloey inherited

Gerson

Pretty much just younger Gerson

Adoptive father of Anton

Satzq

Teacher to Anton's class

Gives everyone pet names

Rarely uses commas

On her phone way too much of the time

Acts like an alien, no one can tell whether or not it's a bit

Her name origin is this:

Darkner (Smart TV)

Obsessed with the idea of being "smart", hates how modern tech is making people dumber

Turned the once barren dark world in Anton's house into a "smart"-themed amusement park

Often calls upon "Holly". None of his employees know who she is, though some speculate about it...

Once partnered with a certain bootleg game for Smart Park's mascot. It did not end well.

Truly just wants people to engage with him and use their brains more, made a certain deal with Anton to keep the main trio busy for a night

Alter-ego named Prof. Brawne (Buff Berdly <> Dr. Tennaville)

Kright

Darkner (bootleg 8-bit game cartridge)

Originally a knightly hero of prophecy that maintened order in Content City

Once starred as the mascot for an educational show

Eventually lost everything as they began glitching out and were forgotten

Speaks like an old poorly-translated JRPG

In-game events:

Anton encounters them in Content City, and promises to help them "fulfill their heroic fate"

Later may sell him a CrackPatch to be used "beneath the yellow drake's spire"

Using it he can enter an old computer and find a ShadyRom within, which Kright hacks themselves into

Becoming 16-bit in a grotesque transformation, Krightmare is not satisfied and seeks to become 3D by taking Anton's soul

Battle mechanics:

Orange soul mode: grants a sword that can stab in 4 cardinal directions, or charge up a spin attack

Chloey:

Bat monster, oft mistaken for cat

Daughter of Battista and Jonney Michaelbat

Anton's childhood friend and neighbor

Anxious and mostly nonverbal, willing to speak only when around family and close friends

Loves music, used to sing but now only plays instruments

Casts rain magic

Anthony:

Ant monster

Slightly popular but greatly oversells it

Close with Chloey but at times overbearing, claims they'll become celebrities together

Hates being compared to Anton(no relation) but often does so himself. Still friends somehow

Especially arrogant towards Jeval
