Revision as of 02:12, 2 March 2007

This is a list of the characters appearing in the Epic Adventures webcomic.

Major Characters

• Glin - Ever-rambunctious and simple-minded Glin is the lovable member of the crew who often causes the zany misadventures with his seemingly innocent intents. He wears a tie and collared white shirt, but has no apparent occupation other than causing a hard time for the rest of the cast. He also points out the obvious (proclaiming "boobies" when seeing a new female character).

• Mark - The more serious member of the cast, Mark is Glin's friend and roomate. Together, they have joined the army (although Mark was rather unwilling to cooperate), fought off a legion off zombies, and met a female time-traveler named Daryl. Mark has often been the butt-end of the jokes due to his more up-tight nature, but he has shown sides of himself that reference an inner-idiocy and comic expressionism.

Supporting Characters

• Faber - A female who Mark and Glin met during their army recruitment, she has continued to appear in the comic ever since. She has a tougher exterior than most of the other characters, and she's clearly rather feminist (although not to the extremes portrayed by anti-feminists). She happens to be a lesbian, meaning that she may be an extension of the butch stereotype. In the army, she was the mêlée specialist.

• Saphie - Faber's love interest, Saphie is a female character (with anime-inspired pink hair) who appeared during the Zombie chapter. She is more loose personality-wise than Faber, and she is a bit more giving and friendly than Faber as well. She has died at the hands of Olive (Death's daughter), but she has since been revived.

• Mistah (also Mister, Mizzah, and Mr.) Z - This serious-to-the-point-of-ridiculousness character appeared during the Zombie Chapter, he is a paranoid monster hunter with an eye patch and an strong distrust for Faber. He is often seen mispronouncing the word "evil" as "efil", most recognizable as a "leetspeek" joke. He often has unconventional weaponry and odd hunches that prove accurate.

• Daryl - A time-displaced warrior from an alternate dimension/future period, she appeared in Mark and Glin's kitchen via a portal of some sort. Though initially at odds with the two, she learns to tolerate them while she finds a way back home. She is primarily concerned with getting back to her time period, which is in the middle of a major war (that may or may not be related to the current issues in the comic).

Minor Characters

• Skinner - A rather large, over-the-top character who has only played a major role during the Army Chapter, he has handled the heavy weapons (mostly an RPG). He is known for his crude, rude attitude and foul mouth.

Antagonists

• "The Master" - This unseen character, who speaks in Greek, works behind-the-scenes. Though nothing has been proven yet, it has been implied that he/she is responsible for the strange going-ons in Epic Adventures.

• General E - The demented leader of Mark and Glin's squadron, he is a violent, manipulative man who nonetheless has respect for talent. He seems to have some connection to the Master.

• Nilg - Glin's evil alter-ego, he only appears when something throws Glin's regular temperament off-balance. He has only been seen during the Army Chapter.

• Olive - Daughter of Death, she showed up in the Death of Mistah Z Chapter to reap Mistah Z's soul. Her plan was foiled when she lost to Glin at a game of marbles. She has not appeared since.

• The "Hands" - These henchmen of the Master are shadow-like beings of an unknown origin. They are currently in a war with Daryl's people in the future, one of them is in Mark and Glin's house in the present, and they have been spotted in WWII-era Germany.
