Relations Venomshank (guardian) Rocket (best friend) Medkit (found family) Zuka (acquaintance) The Swords (blood family) Ban Hammer (blood relative) Valk, Dom (blood relatives)

Despite being naturally spawned in Lost Temple, Sword was taken in by Venomshank as soon as he spawned, who took him to live in Crossroads with him, and serves as Sword's mentor and guardian. Sword had a sheltered upbringing, and thus isn't aware of many major events in the Inpherno, such as having no idea about the Scorch until Darkheart tells him about it. Sword didn't have the chance to talk to other inphernals other than Venomshank until very recently in his life. He is close to Rocket, who is his best friend, and to Medkit, whom he sees as a sibling.

Sword is related to the Swords by blood, though in what way is currently unknown. Despite this, Sword has no idea that he is related to demi-deities like Ban Hammer and Flipside, on account of Venomshank telling him very little about his relatives.

He is almost always seen with his signature steel gladiatorial helmet, which was a gift from Venomshank to protect him from any dangers he may face. He is only seen taking it off to go to sleep.

Personality Sword is kind-hearted, yet naive. When he has his eyes set on a goal, he is extremely determined and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

Relationships

Venomshank is Sword's mentor and guardian, raising him from spawn and training him to become a great warrior. Venomshank is seen to be very protective of Sword, sheltering him from the outside world and not informing him of critical events like the Scorch.

Sword and Rocket met through Venomshank's connection to Rocket's caretaker, Zuka. The two are best friends

Sword first met Windforce when he was younger, eavesdropping on a conversation between her and his mentor, Venomshank. Noticing Sword was listening in on their conversation, Windforce confronted him directly. Sensing her hostile intent, Venomshank intervened, causing Windforce to lash out and slash at the deity. The swing missed Venomshank, but left Sword with a cut on his cheek and along his forearm. In a fit of protective rage, Venomshank went feral, attacking Windforce and prompting the first fall of Crossroads. How Sword feels towards Windforce in the present day is currently unknown.

Sword first met Medkit after escaping from the altrecation between Venomshank and Windforce, and after Medkit fled from Blackrock. Sword approached Medkit, working in a makeshift medical bay and healing injured inphernals, where he nursed him back to health. Suprised by the fact he was unable to heal the scar left by Windforce, Medkit suggests Sword stay with him while they waited for his caretaker to come pick him up. During the stay, Medkit taught Sword basic first aid techniques and skills. The two of them became close, eventually coming to see each other like siblings.

Other relationships Sword knows Zuka and Darkheart through his mentor, Venomshank.

Sword has no knowledge of the rest of the Swords or their family, including even his own relatives, Ban Hammer and Flipside.

Ban Hammer is seen teasing Sword about his weapon, with Sword readily refuting the demi-deity's assumptions that he is weak.

Biograft is interested in Sword's fighting techniques, but finds them obsolete.

Sword tells Boombox that jazz is his "go-to" music genre.

Hyperlaser is not impressed by Sword's seemingly basic weapon, but he has a sense of respect for Sword's mentor.

Katana and Sword compare their weapons, but find solidarity in being taught by their respective mentors.

Medkit is seen begrudgingly following Sword, but expresses concern for him, being there to patch Sword up when he gets hurt. The two of them exchange friendly banter between one another.

Rocket and Sword are seen constantly chatting with one another, as best friends typically do. Sword calls them the "Dynamic Duo" and they regularly use combos that the two of them made up together. Sword apparently always makes Rocket pay when they go for a bite to eat.

Vine Staff shows concern for Sword's skills and his control over his weapon, expressing that she doesn't think an exploding sword is really that safe.

Despite being related to the Swords by blood, Sword is not a deity.

Sword would give good hugs.

-Medkit

Medkit is an inphernal who was spawned under the KORBLOX Administration, and later fled to join The Church of the TRUE EYE.

Occupation(s) Doctor (current) Scientist (former)

Status Alive

Relations Sword (found family) Subspace (ex co-worker) Rocket (friend) Scythe (boss) The Broker (co-worker)

Medkit was unnaturally spawned in Blackrock to his two caretakers, and was immediately taken in by the KORBLOX Administration. His gear, being a healing class gear, is a very rare occurrence within the Inpherno. His gear allows him to heal the wounds and injuries of other inphernals with the abilities he was spawned with, making him a highly coveted asset to the KORBLOX Administration. He worked as a scientist alongside Subspace, using his incredible intellect and talents in the fields of engineering and chemistry to help further KORBLOX's research. During their time working under the KORBLOX Administration, Medkit developed the first known instance of energy crystals. Medkit and Subspace never got along, and after they had an altercation in which Medkit lost his left eye, he escaped Blackrock and fled to Crossroads.

In Crossroads, he was picked up by an extremist group which had just formed in Lost Temple shortly following the Scorch, and went on to offer this group—later known as The Church of the TRUE EYE—his various abilities, in exchange for protection from the KORBLOX Administration. Medkit suffers from severe PTSD as a result of his time in Blackrock, and struggles with intense paranoia and constant night terrors.

Medkit is closest to Sword, whom he sees like a sibling, and is subsequently friends with Rocket. He works underneath Scythe, who is his boss, alongside The Broker.

Personality Despite Medkit's intellect, he has become an extremely paranoid person in the aftermath of his life in Blackrock. He is typically very flat with his interactions, and tries not to get too close to anyone.

Appearance Medkit is a well put-together inphernal, who dons a suit in the uniform style of The Church of the TRUE EYE, and whose signature color is teal. He has two horns which closely resemble antlers that protrude from the sides of his head and extend upwards. On each horn, he has two tines following the same direction, and he wears a gold ring on his bottom right tine. In between both horns sits a floating crystal, which is the source of his gear's power. He wears a diamond shaped eyepatch with an inset gold trim over his left eye, covering his removed and stitched eye, and he is commonly seen with a disgruntled or forlorn expression.

Medkit hates being a doctor yet was ironically created with the gift of healing. He finds more fascination with topics in technology and engineering and he misses when he could collaborate and make new things to help others. Medkit has a very sophisticated taste and only eats foods of the highest quality and sees consuming things like juice as childish.

His suit is predominately a dark forest green, with bright teal accents throughout. His suit jacket opens up to reveal a teal cravat tied around the collar, and with gold trim on both sleeves, and a diamond shaped appliqué just above the cuffs. He wears high waisted dress pants in a teal argyle pattern, a motif he shares with Scythe. His pants are fastened by two gold buttons at the waistband. He wears dark teal gloves on both hands, and forest green dress shoes.

He wields his medkit in his left hand, and his revolver in his right. Both are adorned with the same teal argyle motif as his uniform, and are trimmed with gold. His revolver is a distinctly brighter teal than his medkit, matching the color of his horns and cravat where the pattern is applied across the barrel and the grip. The sight, muzzle, hammer and trigger are all gold, with the rest of the gun being a dark teal. His medkit resembles a briefcase, exhibiting the same argyle pattern, along with a teal cross on the upper side, and gold accents along the body of the medkit, the corners, and the handle. The handle also has a bright teal grip.

Relationships

Medkit and Sword met soon after Medkit fled from Blackrock. Medkit found Sword in a dire state and nursed him back to health. The two of them become close, eventually coming to see each other like siblings.

Medkit and Subspace never got along, even when they were young. Subspace was terrible to Medkit, and their ensuing altercation caused Medkit to fight back in self defense. Medkit will likely never feel safe again until Subspace dies.

Medkit met Rocket through Sword, and is responsible for his prosthetics.

Other relationships Medkit chose to leave to Lost Temple as one of his caretakers hailed from there. His other caretaker was "not good".

Medkit works under Scythe and made her various prosthetics and augmentations, but keeps a wide berth, choosing to refer to her only by her alias, Rifle. If it weren't for Medkit's guard always being up, the two would otherwise be friends.

Medkit is responsible for stapling The Broker back together when he gets decapitated, but otherwise sees him as a pest.

Medkit is responsible for stapling The Broker back together when he gets decapitated, but otherwise sees him as a pest.

Ban Hammer is equal parts intrigued and offended by Medkit, asking Medkit to invent for him while also chiding his status as a traitorous criminal. Medkit is not at all impressed, brushing Ban Hammer off and being annoyed at the demi-deity's lack of perspective.

Biograft recognizes Medkit as a traitor, but Medkit is more fascinated with the fact Subspace has been inventing robots. He is impressed when Biograft takes out an opponent.

Medkit finds Boombox annoying, often telling him to be quiet, but does divulge to Boombox that he likes listening to classical music.

Medkit shows surprise at Coil using the energy crystals Coil stole from the KORBLOX Administration, but offers to help with Coil's efforts to break into Blackrock.

Hyperlaser repeatedly tries to engage with Medkit, but he is not interested in talking to a Blackrock mercenary. When Hyperlaser takes Medkit out, he expresses that he did it on Subspace's behalf.

Katana recognizes Medkit's uniform, and warns him about associating with the Church.

Medkit continuously reminds Rocket not to blow himself up, and is impressed when he actually takes out an opponent.

Scythe and Medkit share regular banter during Phights, with Medkit repeatedly talking back to her. He's not particularly impressed with having to share space with Scythe, but does ask about her arm, and she looks out for him in turn.

Medkit expresses concern about the safety of Shuriken's grappling move.

Medkit is impressed that Skateboard wears appropriate safety gear, and expresses concern for him, particularly about bashing his head in.

Medkit expresses concern for how active Slingshot is.

Medkit is not happy about sharing a team with Subspace, having to put up with his belittling during Phights. He tells Subspace to stop following him, and shows no remorse if he takes Subspace out in a Phight, with Subspace equally bitter if he takes Medkit out in turn.

Medkit is seen begrudgingly following Sword, but expresses concern for him, being there to patch Sword up when he gets hurt. The two of them exchange friendly banter between one another.

Both Vine Staff and Medkit are surprised to see another healer, sharing friendly banter with one another.

Trivia Despite being a healer, Medkit doesn't like being seen as a doctor. If Medkit had any say in the matter, he would like to be a teacher. Medkit and The Broker are both equally skilled at chess.

Status Alive

Relations Zuka (adopted caretaker) Sword (best friend) Medkit (friend) The Broker (associate)

Rocket was naturally spawned into Playground and lived there for the majority of his life as a newspawn, but was forced to leave the region after an unknown incident cost him his arm and leg. In the process of leaving Playground, he met Zuka, whom he became very close with, and eventually became Rocket's guardian figure. Zuka brought him to Crossroads, where he has lived since. He then met Sword, who became his best friend. Sword would go on to introduce him to Medkit, who ended up making Rocket's prosthetic arm and leg for him.

Rocket works with Zuka in their shop in the top layer of Crossroads, where the two of them provide artificial gear for other inphernals, as well as general handyman services. Rocket begrudgingly works with The Broker, who supplies the materials used for creating artificial gears and other weapons.

Personality Rocket is a hot-headed inphernal who can be very loud and confrontational. Despite his brash exterior, he is loyal to his loved ones and works extremely hard.

Appearance Rocket is a light-skinned inphernal with four horns that are blue in color. He has two long horns on the side of his head that slightly curl upward and another smaller set underneath.

Rocket wears a pair of blue U-shaped goggles. He sports a blue and yellow jacket which is open in the middle with both sleeves rolled up. On the back of his jacket is a picture of exploding bricks, under his jacket he wears a yellow shirt with a silver dog tag around his neck. His left hand is covered by a dark blue glove while his right arm is a full metal prosthesis. Similar to his arm, his left leg is a metallic prosthetic, which is partially covered by his rolled up pant leg. His pants are blue with a yellow stripe going around the cuffs, supported by a blue belt with a silver buckle and grommets.

His namesake gear, The Rocket Launcher, has a gray barrel and sports a blue neon ring near the front, with a yellow and black caution stripe nearby. Attached to it is a gray scope on left side of the launcher with the trigger and grip is located directly under the launcher. Further down the barrel is a black divot which is then followed up by a neon blue . Both ends being hollowed for the rockets coming out of it.

Relationships

Zuka and Rocket are very close, with Zuka being one of the few people Rocket actually cares about and serving as his adoptive caretaker. Rocket holds Zuka in extremely high regard, going so far as to carve his horns to resemble his caretaker's. Zuka helped Rocket grow out of his anger issues, allowing him to integrate better into life in Crossroads.

Though they are close, there are some things they don't talk about—namely Zuka's hatred of the Swords.

Although Sword and Rocket are now best friends, when they first met, Rocket viewed him as rather pathetic. They were total opposites, and though Rocket did just about anything to get Sword to leave him alone, the two of them ended up becoming extremely close.

They are seen together in Act 1 of Death in the Family investigating Medkit's disappearance.

Rocket met Medkit through Sword, and considers him a friend. Medkit made Rocket's prosthetics, and he thinks well of the other inphernal as a result.

Other relationships Rocket has seen Venomshank a few times in his life, primarily when the deity visited Zuka in Rocket's earlier years. He is wary of someone as tall as Venomshank, despite Sword's insistence that he is a "nice guy".

Rocket works with The Broker, but despises him. The Broker, in turn, likes messing with him.

Ban Hammer expresses disdain at Rocket being Zuka's supposed descendent, but Rocket isn't really interested, on account of having no clue who Ban Hammer is. The demi-deity chides him, and he responds in kind.

Biograft shows respect for Rocket's caretaker, which Rocket isn't all that impressed by. He conspires with Biograft to not tell Zuka that he is out phighting.

Rocket tells Boombox that he likes all kinds of music, but especially likes hip-hop.

Hyperlaser asks Rocket about his caretaker, expressing how popular he was in Blackrock.

Katana is not too impressed with the absolute chaos of Rocket's projectiles, but finds a common ground between their choice of headwear.

Medkit continuously reminds Rocket not to blow himself up, and is impressed when Rocket actually takes out an opponent.

Scythe and Rocket briefly share camaraderie over their prosthetic limbs, but Scythe immediately ruins the moment with her Church nonsense. Scythe also doesn't take very kindly to Rocket calling The Broker a "freak".

Rocket and Sword are seen constantly chatting with one another, as best friends typically do. Sword calls them the "Dynamic Duo" and they regularly use combos that the two of them made up together. Sword apparently always makes Rocket pay when they go for a bite to eat.

Vine Staff is curious about Rocket's prosthetics, and warns him to be careful with his explosives.

Due to his prosthetics, Rocket is unable to swim, on account of them freezing the water upon contact.

-Ban Hammer

Ban Hammer is the demi-deity Warden of Banland.

Nickname(s) Banny (By Scythe and The Broker)

Height 6'11" / 211 cm

Age 46

Birthday 18 December

Gear Ban Hammer

Personal Status Region The Heights

Faction Factionless

Occupation(s) Warden

Status Alive

Relations Windforce (caretaker) Valk, Dom (cousins) The Swords (family) Sword (blood relative) Scythe, The Broker (enemies)

Ban Hammer was unnaturally spawned at The Heights by Windforce, one of the seven deities of the Inpherno. Ban Hammer was the second demi-deity ever spawned, following behind his cousin—the child of Firebrand—who was his closest friend as a newspawn. Windforce raised Ban Hammer in her image, and the two share an extremely close bond, with Windforce being very proud of her child and his accomplishments.

Six years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, Ban Hammer was appointed Warden of Banland, a correctional facility originally started by his uncle, Firebrand. Windforce first took the reins following Firebrand's disappearance, but passed it down to Ban Hammer, who took the job in stride. He oversees the main island of Banland, as well as smaller police forces stationed around Crossroads. He is hated by the general populace due to his tyrannical role as Warden and for being related to the Swords; despite this, he ultimately strives to make Crossroads a safer place for everyone, even if his methods may sometimes fall short.

Ban Hammer is incredibly strong in comparison to normal inphernals, possessing an indefinite lifespan, much like the deities before him, and he willingly blindfolds himself as a personal "challenge" to his strength. He has a set of wings similar to his caretaker, which he is able to summon and de-summon at will, as well as four eyes under his blindfold, with two on each side.

Ban Hammer does not align himself with any faction in the Inpherno, and prefers to keep to his own, leaving him with a distinct lack of other inphernals in his circle. Despite this, he has a strong one-sided rivalry with Scythe, a notorious and formidable criminal who has continued to evade his grasp.

Personality Ban Hammer is, by all accounts, an egotistical and extroverted inphernal who loves showing off his superior abilities to others. He deems himself better than everyone else, and won't let anyone forget it. He has a particular enjoyment for the "thrill" of chasing after criminals and locking them up, revelling in the despair they feel when he corners them for good. He prefers this sort of "hands-on" work as opposed to the administrative tasks that come with running a prison.

Despite his boisterous nature, Ban Hammer prefers to keep to himself, and doesn't have many inphernals he can consider a friend.

Appearance Ban Hammer wears a purple bandana covering his eyes and a set of heavy armor. His cuirass has a large glowing purple diamond in the center and grey indentations along the sides and down the middle. He boasts two large purple spikes on his pauldrons closely resembling his horns and two large purple gauntlets, also with spikes on the knuckles as well as two glowing circles-presumably bracings-for the plates on his forearms.

Ban Hammer wears greaves and sabatons decorated with purple diamonds and trimmings. His weapon is an oversized hammer inspired by the original Ban Hammer gear. The hammer has a large pommel on the bottom end, while the top end boasts a large hammer head with light grey bracings and small dark grey spikes.

Relationships

Ban Hammer and his caretaker are very close, and Windforce raised him on her own in her exact image, explaining his general personality. Windforce can be incredibly soft towards Ban Hammer, oftentimes to a fault, and Windforce and Ban Hammer hold each other in extremely high regard, with Windforce being proud of her child, and Ban Hammer being generally in awe of his caretaker; being especially impressed of how she took over Banland and "improved" it. Ban Hammer respects Windforce's territory, and doesn't hold any jurisdiction over Playground, where she rules.

Other relationships Ban Hammer was extremely close to Firebrand's child growing up, but their current relationship following his cousin's divorce from their significant other is unknown. Ban Hammer does, however, have relatively strong opinions on his cousin's choice to be with a mortal inphernal, believing that such a relationship could have never worked out in the first place. He believes children of the Swords should put their work first, and any prospective family second.

Ban Hammer is the first cousin once removed of his cousin's two children, Valk and Dom, but acts more as an uncle towards them. He is blood related to Sword, but the two do not know of each other. His relationships with the rest of his family are relatively unknown.

Ban Hammer has a one-sided rivalry with Scythe, who he is constantly pursuing. The two appear in Scythe's reveal trailer.

Ban Hammer is similarly continuously pursuing and jailing The Broker. Ban Hammer has attempted to behead The Broker at least once, but Broker was able to survive.

Ban Hammer is intrigued and amused by Biograft, even considering getting one for himself.

Ban Hammer is annoyed with Boombox's loud music, insulting his music taste and telling him to turn it off.

Ban Hammer is onto Coil's endless list of crimes, but hints that there's a greater purpose to why Coil steals. Coil, on the other hand, catches Ban Hammer in the classic "Stupid says what?" trick.

Ban Hammer, whether unknowingly or not, is insensitive towards Hyperlaser, making comments comparing their horns as well as on Hyperlaser's apparent lack of friends.

Ban Hammer warns Katana about getting involved in dangerous business, but appears to respect his strength, offering to spar sometime.

Ban Hammer is equal parts intrigued and offended by Medkit, asking Medkit to invent for him while also chiding his status as a traitorous criminal. Medkit is not at all impressed, brushing Ban Hammer off and being annoyed at the demi-deity's lack of perspective.

Ban Hammer expresses disdain at Rocket being Zuka's supposed descendent, but Rocket isn't really interested, on account of having no clue who Ban Hammer is. The demi-deity chides him, and he responds in kind.

Ban Hammer is unimpressed with teaming up with Scythe, and Scythe teases him continuously in turn, such as calling him "Banny", which he doesn't like. Despite her mockery of him, Scythe finds Ban Hammer to be a useful ally to her, if only in the context of a Phight. The two chide each other when taking the other inphernal out.

Ban Hammer is frustrated by Shuriken's naivety and rash attitude to life, insisting to the younger inphernal that "patience is a virtue"—but it turns out that Ban Hammer doesn't know what that means, either.

Ban Hammer is not impressed with Skateboard's skating, calling him an "annoying mosquito".

Slingshot is not particularly impressed by Ban Hammer's jokes, and the demi-deity in turn considers him to also be an "annoying mosquito".

Ban Hammer tells Subspace to be careful with his energy crystals, but Subspace retorts him with an insult to his intelligence.

Ban Hammer is seen teasing Sword about his weapon, with Sword readily refuting the demi-deity's assumptions that he is weak.

Ban Hammer thinks that Vine Staff's healing abilities are "cool", which she's not so impressed by, expressing how it can be tiring providing for others.

Ban Hammer was only spawned by his caretaker because she was bored.

Ban Hammer is naturally gifted at golfing, and he practices his skills on Banland inmates.

Ban Hammer once almost walked into lava, on account of his blindfold.

Ban Hammer can play the electric guitar.

He learnt how to play from his cousins, Valk and Dom.

Ban Hammer carries out the death penalty on his inmates, though the conditions for such a punishment are unknown.

Given the choice between pancakes and waffles, Ban Hammer prefers waffles.

Birthday 30 November

Gear Spec Zeta Biograft Energy Sword

Personal Status Region Blackrock

Faction KORBLOX Administration

Occupation(s) Footsoldier

Status Operating

Relations Subspace (creator)

The playable Biograft is a Zeta model Biograft, a type of mass manufactured robot foot-soldier invented by Subspace for the KORBLOX army and defense force. They were made to protect Blackrock in the event of an attack from a neighboring region, and have replaced most—if not all—inphernal soldiers within the KORBLOX army.

Zeta Biografts are not sentient in any capacity, but are built with a special artificial intelligence that learns and mimics behavior of real inphernals, which allow Zeta Biografts to better hunt and eliminate their targets. Due to their lack of sentience, they are unable to go above their programming and break any directives given to them. They are powered by Subspace's energy crystals and are designed with artificial flesh, allowing them to detect and remove foreign bodies that could damage their systems.

The Biograft Energy Swords that all Biografts wield are an artificial gear created by Subspace, and cannot be spawned naturally to a real inphernal.

Personality Being a robot, Biograft doesn't have a personality to speak of. It will follow the orders it is given with great precision. However, their characteristically curious nature sets them apart from other biografts.

Appearance Biograft has long, artificial orange horns that jut upwards. Two small, triangular metal plates are on the top of its head. A thin metal collar loosely wraps around its neck. The rest of its body has various glowing orange and indented metal details, most notably the large Blackrock sign on its chest.

Biograft's weapons take inspiration from the ROBLOX gear it is based on. Featuring a thick triangular shape with the tip and middle cut off with glowing blades on the outer sides. The handle features a thin knuckle guard that connects to the pommel.

Relationships

Subspace is Biograft's creator.

Ban Hammer is intrigued and amused by Biograft, even considering getting one for himself.

Boombox is curious if robots like Biograft can enjoy music, but is quickly put off when Biograft tells him that he enjoys "the screams of Subspace's victims".

Biograft identifies Coil as a "crystal criminal", and Coil in turn isn't very impressed with Biograft as his teammate.

Biograft and Hyperlaser typically follow a plan while Phighting together, with Biograft chiding Hyperlaser when he's taken out. Hyperlaser, on the other hand, is vengeful towards Biograft, being glad when he takes it out.

Katana is intrigued by Biograft, commenting that he didn't have robots in his younger years.

Biograft immediately identifies Medkit as a "traitor", being glad when it takes him out. Medkit, in comparison, is not that fussed and insists that he is not an enemy, even showing interest in Subspace's invention.

Biograft shows respect for Rocket's caretaker, which Rocket isn't all that impressed by. He conspires with Biograft to not tell Zuka that he is out phighting.

Scythe insults the technology of Biograft when taking it out.

Shuriken is intrigued in Biograft's "clones"—that is, the other Biografts.

Biograft asks Skateboard how to skate, but struggles to understand what "the flow" is, despite Skateboard's best attempts.

Biograft is confused by Slingshot's ability to walk on air, and even more confused by what "shoes" are.

Subspace and Biograft talk continously through Phights, with Biograft always checking in with its creator for a directive. Subspace can be a little exasperated at times with his invention, but is otherwise proud of Biograft, being disappointed if he takes it out. Biograft apologizes if it takes out Subspace, and seeks his approval when assisting him.

Biograft is interested in Sword's fighting techniques, but finds them obsolete.

Vine Staff is very curious in Biograft, asking it a lot of questions and even trying to form a plan with it. She reminds Biograft to come to her for healing, and even teaches it how to say "beep boop".

The playable Biograft was built 3 years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, making its physical age 3 years old. However, Biografts are not sentient and do not possess a mental or developmental age like inphernals do.

There are different models of Biograft which serve different purposes, such as Beta Biograft, a skin.

Relations Skateboard (best friend) Coil (friend)

Boombox was naturally spawned into the Splintered Skies territory, where he was accepted into Windforce's kingdom, providing her with his supporting capabilities. As a newspawn, he became close friends with Skateboard, who was spawned on the island. However, Skateboard was later exiled by Windforce, forcing Boombox to be exiled alongside him. The two landed in Craterdust Capital, with them becoming best friends ever since.

Boombox is a popular musician in Playground, with his main genre of choice being EDM. He took his music with him when he moved to Crossroads, but is still relatively underground in the city compared to his home. He lives in an apartment where he keeps all the instruments he has learned to play over time, due to his love for music.

He is close friends with Skateboard's family, as well as Coil. He is a huge fan of the idol duo Flipside and hopes to befriend them someday.

Personality Boombox is one of the few rays of light within the Inpherno. He is extremely compassionate, selfless, and always striving to help other inphernals with anything that he can. However, this kindness can sometimes be taken advantage of by others. Despite his altruism, he feels as though he doesn't do enough for others. He struggles with self-worth and self-respect, valuing others above himself, even if it's to his own detriment.

Appearance Boombox has two green horns protruding from both sides of his head that curve up and point inwards, with 2 grey rings on Boombox's right horn and one on the left. Around the start of the horn, two light grey rings are connected to the visor and horns. On the visor are two green glowing circles, resembling eyes, accompanied by a bracket shaped mouth right below. He wears a backwards dark green cap with a light green stripe and a gray brim. He wears a green shirt with rolled up sleeves, alongside a darker green tie. On his chest, he has a strap across his chest from his shoulders, which are a dark green. Boombox wears green gloves, with a thumb hole on both. Boombox's pants are dark green with a metal chain on his right leg. On his left leg, he has a double-outlined lime green star design. His shoes are lime with star decorations on the sides, which glow. The vamp of his shoe is white, with outlines on the rest of the shoe which glow the same color as the star.

His namesake gear, the Boombox, is grey, with neon green accents throughout it. The top of the boombox curves upwards, and connects to the holder.

-Coil

Coil is a young inphernal who was spawned in Playground.

Height 5'8" / 173 cm

Age 20

Birthday 7 August

Gear Coil (series)

Personal Status Region Playground

Faction Factionless

Occupation(s) None

Status Alive

Relations Wolf (mentor) Skateboard (friend) Boombox (friend)

Coil was naturally spawned in Playground, and was soon picked up by a strange inphernal known as Wolf, who rescued him from the brink of death and raised him as her own; mentoring Coil and teaching him everything that he knows. Coil was spawned as Gravity Coil, but through experimentation, he was able to add three additional "modes" to his gear; that being a speed mode, a regeneration mode, and a highly dangerous "fusion" mode.

Coil is a well known thief in Craterdust Capital, having broke into and stole technology and energy crystals from the KORBLOX Administration. He typically gives some of these crystals out to the residents of Craterdust, taking the rest home to Wolf's abode to experiment with. It's thanks to these crystals—namely one lodged directly into his right horn—that his strength and abilities are boosted significantly, and he is able to, on rare occasions, enter fusion mode for extremely short periods of time. In fusion mode, Coil is able to dish out extreme amounts of damage, at the cost of expending a huge amount of energy, which knocks him unconscious shortly after entering this state. During fusion mode, the right side of Coil's face is encapsulated in a layer of ice-like crystal, which quickly melts after he falls unconscious. This leaves his right eye leaking water for a short time afterwards.

Coil is friends with inphernals such as Skateboard and Boombox, but he doesn't let anyone close and refuses to divulge his past to others. He is regularly seen at Thieves' Rest in Crossroads, where he loves to annoy the owner, Slingshot.

Personality Coil is an unserious person who typically acts only in his best interests. He will rarely take anything seriously, often teasing and messing with other inphernals in order to get a reaction out of them. He loves the feeling of schadenfreude that comes with seeing misery befall others, but would never seek to harm anyone himself. Despite his "devil-may-care" attitude, he is extremely intelligent, as evidenced by his experimentation on his own gear.

Appearance Coil's design incorporates the vibrant and urban fashion of Playground inphernals combined with bolder elements, featuring contrasting orange and light blue as his signature colors. His horns start on his forehead and curve backward, before curving again in the opposite direction and tapering upward. His horns are two different colors: the left is orange, and the right is light blue. His right horn has a bright chunk of crystal embedded in it, forming cracks within the horn. He has a small band-aid across his face, accompanied by an expression that conveys an assertive demeanor.

He wears an orange hoodie with light blue drawstrings and a white Cerberus design on the back. The sleeves of his hoodie have been ripped off, leaving messy fabric where they were torn. He also wears slightly baggy gray pants with a light blue waistband and a pair of orange straps hanging on each side, connected by light blue buttons. The lower half of his pants features a light blue lightning pattern. Finally, he wears mismatched sneakers: orange on the left and blue on the right, both with white tips.

His arms are wrapped in bandages, with two blue metal bands worn around each one, and glowing coils of electricity encircling both arms. Glowing tubes are directly connected to his arms, starting from his fists and curving up toward the back of his shoulders.

Relationships

Wolf is Coil's mentor and guardian, who raised him as a newspawn. Their relationship is "complicated".

Coil and Skateboard are good friends, with Skateboard going as far as to hide Coil from the law.

Coil and Boombox are friends, and they can be seen hanging out together with Skateboard.

Other relationships Coil regularly shows up at Slingshot's café in order to annoy him.

Coil has been repeatedly stealing Subspace's energy crystals and diminishing his supplies, something which aggravates Subspace to no end.

Ban Hammer is onto Coil's endless list of crimes, but hints that there's a greater purpose to why Coil steals. Coil, on the other hand, catches Ban Hammer in the classic "Stupid says what?" trick.

Biograft identifies Coil as a "crystal criminal", and Coil in turn isn't very impressed with Biograft as his teammate.

Medkit shows surprise at Coil using the energy crystals Coil stole from the KORBLOX Administration, but offers to help with Coil's efforts to break into Blackrock.

Coil and Skateboard banter with each other during Phights, showing a friendly rivalry.

Coil and Subspace, as expected, do not get along in a Phight. With Subspace lamenting having to Phight alongside the thief who is actively sabotaging his work, and Coil equally lamenting having to be on the same team as a "corpse".

Relations Subspace (contractor) Katana (acquaintance)

Hyperlaser was naturally spawned in Blackrock under the KORBLOX Administration. He was raised as a soldier in the KORBLOX military division, where he was trained to fulfill a variety of mercenary jobs; such as assassinating targets or being a bodyguard.

At some point in his life, Hyperlaser was involved in an incident that burned his entire body; leaving him covered in scars from head to toe, his horns sundered into stubs, and rendering him legally blind. He is unable to see properly without his signature helmet, which was made for him by his contractor, Subspace. He works for multiple inphernals under the KORBLOX Administration as one of its few remaining living soldiers, floating around from job to job as he sees fit. When he's not working, he lives in District 4, Blackrock, with his pet cat named Princess, whom he found abandoned while on a mission in Crossroads.

Hyperlaser is not one to make friends. Most of his friends are deceased, and he struggles to get close to other inphernals. Despite this, he has recently become acquaintances with Katana.

Personality Hyperlaser is a very quiet individual who doesn't tend to speak much, but finds himself often curious about the inner workings of the KORBLOX Administration. When he does talk, he can come across as intimidating, but he has a soft spot for cats, such as his own pet, Princess.

Appearance Hyperlaser wears an armored helmet with a blacked out visor. Blue stripes run down either side of the helmet, and a pair of blue and black antennae adorn the helmet in place of horns. He wears a grey suit with a blue collar, closed with a button on his right side. His right sleeve has two short horizontal blue stripes on the shoulder, while the left has two dark grey stripes that run vertically down the whole length of his arm. His sleeves end with white cuffs with blue buttons. He has black pants that run down to grey boots, marked with more blue accents on the sides and soles.

Underneath his armor, Hyperlaser has burn scars all across his body. He has four horns, two on each side, which have been rendered into stubs.

Relationships

Hyperlaser works as Subspace's contractee.

Hyperlaser has recently become acquaintances with Katana.

Ban Hammer, whether unknowingly or not, is insensitive towards Hyperlaser, making comments comparing their horns as well as on Hyperlaser's apparent lack of friends. Biograft

Biograft and Hyperlaser typically follow a plan while Phighting together, with Biograft chiding Hyperlaser when he's taken out. Hyperlaser, on the other hand, is vengeful towards Biograft, being glad when he takes it out.

Hyperlaser is not particularly impressed by Boombox's music, finding it distracting, but does end up asking Boombox if he has any metal music.

Hyperlaser and Katana chat a lot during Phights, talking about their home regions, their goals in life, and their pasts. Hyperlaser repeatedly offers to lend an ear to Katana, and even compares him to his pet cat, Princess. Both inphernals apologize when taking each other down.

Hyperlaser repeatedly tries to engage with Medkit, but he is not interested in talking to a Blackrock mercenary. When Hyperlaser takes Medkit out, he expresses that he did it on Subspace's behalf.

Hyperlaser asks Rocket about his caretaker, expressing how popular he was in Blackrock.

Hyperlaser and Scythe have a rivalry between each other for who is the best sniper, and Hyperlaser is pleased to take the bounty on Scythe's head when taking her out.

Hyperlaser asks Shuriken about Katana, expressing that he wants to know more about Katana's culture.

Hyperlaser shows concern for Skateboard, afraid that his fooling around could have dire consequences.

Hyperlaser is intrigued by Slingshot's aiming capabilities, as well as his shoes.

Hyperlaser and Subspace cautiously team up during Phights, with both inphernals chiding each other. Subspace compares Hyperlaser to his Biografts, and Hyperlaser is in turn glad when he takes Subspace out, if only for some peace and quiet.

Hyperlaser is not impressed by Sword's seemingly basic weapon, but he has a sense of respect for Sword's mentor.

Vine Staff gives Hyperlaser orders during Phights, which he takes amicably.

Hyperlaser's face will never be revealed. As such, his face is up to interpretation.

Hyperlaser is like an "entirely different person" when around his pet cat, Princess, and takes very good care of her.

-Katana

Gear Katana

Personal Status Region Lost Temple

Faction Darkage Clan (current) The Church of the TRUE EYE (former)

Status Alive

Relations Scythe (ex-friend) Hyperlaser (acquaintance) Shuriken, Slingshot, Vine Staff (neighbors)

Katana was unnaturally spawned in Lost Temple to his two caretakers, whom raised him alongside his biological sibling. After they lost their parents in the Scorch, Katana and his sibling—whose identity is currently unknown—joined The Church of the TRUE EYE, which at that time was a newly-formed extremist group. The two of them went on to prove extreme loyalty to the family, working directly under the high priest of the Church, Father Overseer. However, after an incident wherein Katana was disgraced by the Father and the rest of the Church, he fled to Thieves' Den and left his sibling behind. He was taken in by the Darkage Clan, whom he has been affiliated with ever since.

Katana's mission in life is to cleanse the Inpherno of any and all "corruption", which he considers to be the likes of Father Overseer and his Church. Like many survivors of the Scorch, he hates all of the the Swords, whom he believes to have failed him, his family, and all the inphernals they are meant to protect.

He currently lives in Crossroads, in the same apartment block as Slingshot, Shuriken, and Vine Staff, much to his chagrin. He was friends with Scythe when they were both in the Church, and has recently become acquaintances with Hyperlaser.

Personality Katana is a cold and mysterious inphernal who generally keeps to himself. He is extremely dedicated to his mission of cleansing the "corruption" within the Inpherno, and values it above all else. He takes great lengths to hone his skills with his gear, going so far as to travel to all ends of the Inpherno and its various regions to broaden his abilities and perspective.

Appearance Katana wears a porcelain mask, fully covering his face until halfway through his scalp with eye slits reminiscent of an owl. The mask is held in place by a red strap across the back of the head. A graphic of the Thieves' Den logo is on the forehead and the area between the eye slits. A smaller set of wooden[6] fake tusks juts from the lower jaw, ostensibly being a part of the mask rather than his jaw. He also sports a haori-jacket fusion, but with his chest more revealed. He has a rope that ties his outfit together at the waist. On his lower body, he wears kyahan paddings on his legs with laces that tie them. His footwear is a pair of geta — traditional wooden slippers worn by samurai. His weapon is a large katana with glowing markings and a red scabbard attached at the hip.

His horns are similar to that of a bull's. Protruding out from the side of his head then curving forward and upwards; tapering into sharp points.

Relationships

Katana was previously friends with Scythe when they were both a part of the Church.

Hyperlaser Katana has recently become acquaintances with Hyperlaser.

Other relationships Katana has a biological sibling who he left behind in the Church, but not much is known about their relationship. Katana ended up going to Thieves' Den as he made a promise with his sibling to go there together in their youth. He hopes to one day take them with him.

Katana lives in the same apartment block as Shuriken, Slingshot, and Vine Staff, much to his dismay. He finds them disruptive and annoying, but has a small fondness for Slingshot, who leaves samples of his baking at Katana's door as a token of appreciation. Otherwise, Vine Staff's plants overrun his meditation room, which he is not best pleased about.[9] Katana is aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow".

Katana currently has a mentor that he owes his skills to, but her identity is unknown.

Katana has a deep hatred for the Swords, like most survivors of the Scorch.

Ban Hammer warns Katana about getting involved in dangerous business, but appears to respect his strength, offering to spar sometime.

Katana is intrigued by Biograft, commenting that he didn't have robots in his younger years.

Katana is intrigued by modern day music, and tells Boombox about a song a relative sung to him as a child.

Hyperlaser and Katana chat a lot during Phights, talking about their home regions, their goals in life, and their pasts. Hyperlaser repeatedly offers to lend an ear to Katana, and even compares him to his pet cat, Princess. Both inphernals apologize when taking each other down.

Katana recognizes Medkit's uniform, and warns him about associating with the Church.

Katana is not too impressed with the absolute chaos of Rocket's projectiles, but finds a common ground between their choice of headwear.

Scythe and Katana are curt with each other, commenting on how long it has been since they've last seen one another. Scythe beckons Katana to come back to the Church, but Katana vehemently declines, threatening Scythe.

Shuriken is curious about Katana, asking about his past and his dour demeanor, but isn't all that impressed by Katana's sage wisdom.

Skateboard offers to help Katana with his lack of speed.

Slingshot and Katana are equally impressed by each other's floating capabilities. Katana expresses concern over how heavy Slingshot's gear must be.

Katana is curious about Subspace's work, but finds him too loud.

Katana and Sword compare their weapons, but find solidarity in being taught by their respective mentors.

Vine Staff shows concern for Katana, telling him to stay close and being sure to heal him during Phights, and Katana takes her advice amicably, showing respect for her.

Katana's mask was inspired by the hannya, a mask used in classic Japanese theater representing jealous female demons.

Katana's original design had more owl motifs, but it was ultimately scrapped by Soda except for the mask.

His favorite alcoholic drink is sake.

Katana has not yet met Hyperlaser's pet cat, Princess.

Status Alive

Relations The Broker (close friend/co-worker) Medkit (co-worker) Grappling Hook (ex-partner) Father Overseer (leader) Ban Hammer (enemy) Katana (ex-friend)

Scythe was naturally spawned in Lost Temple, where she worked as an oziphrage wrangler alongside her significant other, Grappling Hook, and their group of other wranglers. Following the Scorch, the two of them split, and Scythe—who lost her right arm in the flames—left to join a newly formed extremist group, later known as The Church of the TRUE EYE.

Scythe is extremely loyal and dedicated to her family in the Church, and is willing to do absolutely anything to protect and serve them, no matter the cost. She works as a form of mob enforcer for the Church, being commanded by Father Overseer to take out anyone who has even the potential to speak out against the Church and Overseer's mission. Despite her blind enforcement of his word, she has complicated feelings regarding her leader and what he stands for. She is highly respected and loved by other members of the Church, being seen as an older sibling figure who others can bring their problems to.

Having lost her arm in the Scorch, Scythe has a mechanical prosthetic arm built by Medkit, which is powered by his energy crystals. Additionally, despite being spawned as Green Laser Scythe, her gear has been modified by Medkit to have an additional rifle mode, making her a formidable opponent to anyone who crosses her path. Her left eye is replaced by a glass eye, thanks to a practice done by members of the Church[5][6], and as a result she must wear a specialized scope on her right eye to account for her lack of depth perception. She was spawned with black horns, but paints them teal to show her devotion to her family.

Scythe has a deadly reputation within the Banland police force, and is constantly evading their capture. She is very close to The Broker, and is acquaintances with Medkit, who both work under her. She was once friends with Katana, when he was a part of the Church.

Personality Scythe is a charismatic and silver-tongued individual who is led by her intense desire for vengeance. She will stop at nothing to vindicate the pain and loss she experienced because of the Scorch, even being willing to murder other inphernals in pursuit of her "greater good". Despite this, she is loyal and dependable to those in her Church family, and has her own doubts about what the "greater good" means to her. She has a soft spot for animals and cares deeply for them.

Appearance Scythe is a dark-skinned inphernal with teal spiked swept-back horns, going through her white cowboy hat with a teal Lost Temple insignia on the forest-green hatband directly on the front. The hat has an inline gold border topside on the rim. She wears an ornate scope consisting of three cyan lenses of different sizes over her right eye, supported by a gold band around her head. Her left, uncovered eye is glass. Around her neck, she wears a small, forest-green bandana.

She wears a fancy white suit jacket with two small gold buttons connected by a chain, with an inline gold border accent on the lapels following around a popped collar decorated with small gold spikes, paired with a teal shirt underneath and a forest-green necktie. She wears two-toned forest-green pants with diamond patterning and is held up with a forest-green belt in the belt loops with a gold buckle. She wears white Western-style boots with gold accents and gold spurs.

Her right arm is a prosthetic, with white plating around the forearm and upper arm decorated with gold accents. Black wiring connects the upper arm with the gold metal socket on her shoulder, while the elbow consists of a large, gold and black joint. The hand is made of black and gold plating. She wears a forest green glove on the left hand.

She wields her namesake laser scythe gear, modified into a hybrid with a submachine gun, with her right arm. It features a white body with gold grips and trigger and a black barrel jacket with a gold tip. A neon teal tube connects to a gray base on the butt of the gun, where the laser scythe's 'blade' is connected to. Near the butt of the gun are two gold wings with teal accents, connected by large black screws, which flip depending on its form. In Scythe form, the weapon rotates and extends to reveal a teal grip, while in Rifle form, a black rectangular ammo magazine is attached to the side.

Relationships

Scythe and The Broker are extremely close friends, and the two work together as Church acolytes.

Medkit works under Scythe and made her various prosthetics and augmentations, but keeps a wide berth, choosing to refer to her only by her alias, Rifle. If it weren't for Medkit's guard always being up, the two would otherwise be friends.

Other relationships Scythe and Grappling Hook were previously significant others and worked together as oziphrage wranglers, before the Scorch tore them apart.

Ban Hammer has a one-sided rivalry with Scythe, who is constantly evading his grasp. The two appear in Scythe's reveal trailer.

Father Overseer is Scythe's leader. She follows out his commands to murder his enemies with little protest, but has doubts about his intentions. Otherwise, their relationship is unclear.

Scythe and Katana were previously friends, when they both were a part of the Church.

Ban Hammer is unimpressed with teaming up with Scythe, and Scythe teases him continuously in turn, such as calling him "Banny", which he doesn't like. Despite her mockery of him, Scythe finds Ban Hammer to be a useful ally to her, if only in the context of a Phight. The two chide each other when taking the other inphernal out. Biograft

Scythe insults the technology of Biograft when taking it out.

Scythe insinuates that Boombox oughta play more country music when taking him out.

Scythe and Katana are curt with each other, commenting on how long it has been since they've last seen one another. Scythe beckons Katana to come back to the Church, but Katana vehemently declines, threatening Scythe.

Scythe and Medkit share regular banter during Phights, with Medkit repeatedly talking back to her. He's not particularly impressed with having to share space with Scythe, but does ask about her arm, and she looks out for him in turn.

Scythe and Rocket briefly share camaraderie over their prosthetic limbs, but Scythe immediately ruins the moment with her Church nonsense. Scythe also doesn't take very kindly to Rocket calling The Broker a "freak".

Scythe calls Shuriken a "pesky prick" when taking him out.

Scythe is glad to stop Skateboard speeding around when taking him out.

Scythe insults Slingshot's Air Jordan 1s when taking him out.

Scythe is just about the only Phighter that Subspace expresses any sort of fear towards, with Scythe finding him annoying and weak, and actively threatening to execute him.

Scythe suggests that Sword shouldn't bring a sword to a gun fight when taking him out.

Scythe constantly teases Vine Staff during Phights, often calling her "flowers". Scythe also comments on Vine Staff's "curse", seeing it as a blessing and offering Vine Staff assistance from the Church.

Scythe still has her own oziphrage, who has not yet been seen.

Outside of her usual Church uniform, Scythe would wear casual clothes like tank tops and sweatpants.

Scythe is scared of ghosts.

Personal Status Region Thieves' Den

Faction Factionless (current)

Darkage Clan (former)

Occupation(s) Waiter / Vigilante

Status Alive

Relations Slingshot, Vine Staff (siblings) Katana (neighbor)

Shuriken was unnaturally spawned in Thieves' Den, immediately after his older sibling Vine Staff, to their two caretakers. Shuriken was taken in and accepted by the Darkage Clan without hesitation, but was separated from his sibling, since she was banished by Darkage due to the "curse" she spawned with. In Darkage, Shuriken was trained as a warrior and was extremely skilled in this endeavor, going on to be regarded as a great warrior by the Clan. It was in Darkage where Shuriken met Slingshot, and the two became extremely close, going on to regard one another as siblings.

Together, the two of them would go out and meet Vine Staff at night, even though it was forbidden for them to do so. Eventually, the three of them decided to leave Thieves' Den to live in Crossroads, which was ultimately the safest place for Shuriken's siblings. However, Shuriken did not take well to the humdrum of city life, finding his life without purpose. In the pursuit of becoming something greater, he adopted a vigilante persona—known as "Silver Shadow"—under the cover of night, where he now fights against crime and keeps the streets of Crossroads safe.

Shuriken's siblings aren't aware of his alter ego, and are none the wiser when he shows up for his daytime job at Slingshot's café, Thieves' Rest. He works as a waiter, but struggles with exhaustion due to his vigilante work, and oftentimes falls asleep in the middle of the day. Although he cares greatly for his siblings, he keeps mostly to himself and tries not to worry them with what's going on in his life. Despite everything, he longs to one day be reunited with his Clan.

Shuriken lives in the same apartment block as Katana and is his neighbor.

Personality Shuriken is a sentimental inphernal who cares more about his family than he does about himself. Although he often teases and messes with them, he will go to great lengths to make sure his siblings, Slingshot and Vine Staff, are happy and safe, even at his own expense. Despite this, he has a greater desire for purpose in life, seeking this out in his secret vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow", which he hides from his siblings so as not to worry them. Shuriken has struggled to settle into Crossroads, and doesn't have many friends and is lonely as a result.

Appearance Shuriken is a light-skinned inphernal with two long horns, each starting at his forehead and curving slightly upward. Both horns’ bases start out green and then slowly fade into their natural pink color.

While not wearing his mask, Shuriken’s face can be seen wearing green makeup under his eyes, as well as a pink, blue, and green dot triangle pattern on his forehead, which references his bond with his siblings. His mask is reminiscent of traditional oni masks, which sports a green and black color scheme that coincides with the rest of his outfit. The teeth of the mask have two sets of fangs and thick, cloudlike eyebrows, which support the traditional look of the outfit.

Shuriken wears a black shinobi shozoku with grey hand wrappings and a grey hood ripped from a different set of clothing, with only part of the left sleeve and the upper half of the torso attached to the upper half of his shozoku. A long scarf is also clipped to the back of his hood. His hood, chest, the eyes on his mask, and the ends of his scarf each have the same green circular pattern on all of them. Along his chest is a strap that is connected to the bag on his side that holds his various tools. His weapons are green shuriken with bright neon green tips on them and a kunai. He has a green cord tied around his waist, resembling obijime or haori himo, which acts as a belt. His shoes are white and black with green laces.

Relationships

Shuriken and Vine Staff are extremely close, with Shuriken risking his role in the Darkage Clan for her, and eventually giving it up in order to protect his sibling. The two are often causing havoc for their neighbor, Katana, and Shuriken tattooed his own arm in honor of Vine Staff. Vine Staff isn't aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow".

Shuriken and Slingshot are very close as siblings, but Slingshot isn't aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow".

Other relationships Shuriken still longs to be a part of Darkage Clan again, someday.

Shuriken lives in the same apartment block as Katana, and he and his siblings often disturb the older inphernal. While they don't talk much, Shuriken and his siblings leave gifts at Katana's door to show their appreciation to him. Katana is aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow", but doesn't know that he is Shuriken.

While Shuriken isn't aware of The Broker[11], The Broker knows of his vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow", as does Ban Hammer. However, similarly to Katana, neither of them know that "Silver Shadow" is Shuriken.

Ban Hammer is frustrated by Shuriken's naivety and rash attitude to life, insisting to the younger inphernal that "patience is a virtue"—but it turns out that Ban Hammer doesn't know what that means, either.

Shuriken is intrigued in Biograft's "clones"—that is, the other Biografts.

Shuriken tells Boombox that he likes pop music.

Hyperlaser asks Shuriken about Katana, expressing to Shuriken that he wants to know more about Katana's culture.

Shuriken is curious about Katana, asking about his past and his dour demeanor, but isn't all that impressed by Katana's sage wisdom.

Medkit expresses concern about the safety of Shuriken's grappling move.

Scythe calls Shuriken a "pesky prick" when taking him out.

Slingshot and Shuriken are seen playfully challenging each other, playing a game of "who can get the most points" mid-Phight. Slingshot is supportive towards Shuriken, but expresses fond exasperation towards him at times.

Shuriken and Vine Staff are seen bickering as any normal siblings do during Phights, with Shuriken constantly annoying and teasing his sibling, and Vine Staff exasperatedly chasing after him, often reminding him to stick to their plan, and also to brush his teeth. Shuriken notably asks Vine Staff for healing, but then runs away from her at every opportunity, as Shuriken does.

Skateboard was naturally spawned into the Splintered Skies territory, where he soon met Boombox, who became his only friend as a newspawn. Unlike Boombox, Skateboard wasn't accepted into Windforce's kingdom, and was later exiled and thrown off the floating island. Boombox followed suit, and the two of them landed in Craterdust, becoming the best of friends in the process.

Skateboard now resides in Craterdust, and spends the majority of his days looking after the inphernals around him, often rescuing them from collapsing buildings due to the perilous architecture of the city they live in. Several of these rescued inphernals have gone on to become Skateboard's chosen family, whom he lives with. Despite these inphernals looking up to Skateboard, he doesn't consider himself much of a leader, but he strives to make Craterdust—and Playground as a whole—a safer place for his fellow inphernals to live.

Although Skateboard lives within the region of Playground, he considers himself to be factionless. He is close friends with Coil, and is friends with Slingshot.

Personality Skateboard is a laidback, but playful and easily restless inphernal. He always needs to be moving, and is down to do just about anything he deems fun, lest he get bored. Though he can be flighty, he values his loved ones more than anything, and will put his life on the line to protect them.

Relations Shuriken, Vine Staff (siblings) Skateboard (friend)

Slingshot was naturally spawned in Thieves' Den into the Darkage Clan, where he worked as a warrior alongside Shuriken. The two of them became very close during their work together, eventually considering each other siblings.

Up until recently, Slingshot continued to work for the Darkage Clan, but chose to resign from his position and move to Crossroads for a better life. Slingshot is a baker and runs a café called Thieves' Rest in the second layer of the city, and aspires to be successful enough to move his cafe up to the top layer one day. Slingshot lives in an apartment together with Shuriken and Vine Staff, whom he also considers his sibling. The two of them work for him in his café.

Since Slingshot's resignation from the Darkage Clan, he considers himself to be factionless. He is friends with Skateboard, neighbors with Katana, and often interacts with Coil, who is a regular patron at Thieves' Rest, much to his annoyance.

Personality Slingshot is a perfectionist, striving for nothing but the best in himself and his work, especially his baking. He can oftentimes push himself past his limits in pursuit of this. He has little tolerance for nonsense, usually coming across as a very blunt individual. Despite this, he softens around his loved ones, and tries to find time outside his work to have fun.

-Subspace

Subspace is a scientist for the KORBLOX Administration.

Nickname(s) Creator (By Biograft) Sub-Fart (By Coil) Subspace T. Mine (By himself)

Height 5'11" / 180 cm

Age 30

Birthday 23 October

Gear Subspace Tripmine

Personal Status Region Blackrock

Faction KORBLOX Administration

Occupation(s) Scientist

Status Alive

Relations Biograft (creation) Hyperlaser (contractee) Medkit (ex co-worker)

Subspace was naturally spawned in Blackrock, where he was raised by various members of the KORBLOX Administration. He is an accomplished scientist in the fields of robotics engineering and organic chemistry, and had formerly worked as a scientist alongside Medkit. During their time working under the KORBLOX Administration, Medkit developed the first known instance of energy crystals. However, the two have never gotten along, and as a result of a violent altercation between them, Subspace became afflicted with an unknown ailment described simply as "The Rot".

Despite this, Subspace continued his research and developed his own kind of energy crystal. He would go on to invent the Biograft robots, which are utilized for a variety of duties in KORBLOX, from maintenance to infantry. Subspace is well-recognized for his work among the KORBLOX Administration, being relatively high-ranking within the group, and the head of the KORBLOX robotics division as a whole.

Subspace struggles with The Rot, which primarily manifests as a slew of bright pink lesions across his entire body, and his flesh rotting away with no clear cause. The Rot mostly affects his right arm and left eye, and while it is not inherently contagious, he produces an extremely toxic gas within his body that is highly fatal to those around him. He has to wear a mask when around other inphernals so as to prevent them from being poisoned.

The Rot severely affects Subspace in his daily life. He is unable to see out of his left eye, and struggles with depth perception in the right. His right arm has very limited mobility, and his body is unable to recover energy at a typical rate to other inphernals, leaving him easily fatigued. The flesh around his mouth has began to rot, thus causing him to struggle with eating and a difficulty tasting food at all. Due to his difficulties, Subspace invented the Gamma Biograft; a special, one-of-a-kind Biograft that serves as a medical assistant for Subspace. Subspace is able to wear Gamma Biograft like a suit, which grants him the ability to do things he normally is unable to do. He is required to wear the Gamma Biograft suit in public, due to being considered unsightly by higher-ups.

Subspace doesn't have many relations aside from his Biografts, but contracts his colleague Hyperlaser for work.

Personality Subspace is an egotistical, sadistic, and self-centered inphernal who will do just about anything to achieve his goals, even at the expense of those around him.[6] He views others poorly, going so far as to see his own coworkers as expendable. He has a notable prejudice towards inphernals that were spawned anywhere other than Blackrock.

He prefers to work independently, being a difficult person to collaborate with within his division in KORBLOX, with the reputation to match. Despite all this, Subspace is generally fond towards his robotic inventions, preferring to work with them over any living inphernal.

Appearance Subspace's first set of pink horns starts at the backside of his head, curling around the side of his head before winding upwards; tapering into sharp points to frame his glowing pink, star-shaped, energy crystal. His second, smaller set starts below the first directly on the side of his head and winds forwards, curving upwards much the same way as the first.

He wears a grey gasmask with red accents. An eyepatch is over his left eye, the strap going over his head to underneath his gas mask. He wears a black and dark grey, slanted bengal-striped, sleeveless tanktop. Over his right arm, he wears a grey one-sleeve shoulder wrap with an intricate Greek-key pattern indicative of Blackrockian designs, red accents, and two grey clasps on the strap over the front of his torso. Two bands criss cross on his right thigh. He wears dark gray boots with pink soles.

Relationships

Subspace is the creator of all Biografts, including the playable Zeta Biograft.

Subspace contracts Hyperlaser for work, but sees him as little more than a tool.

Medkit and Subspace never got along, even when they were young, with Subspace being terrible to him.

Other relationships Subspace, surprisingly, holds a lot of respect for the inphernals who raised him.

Subspace has a special disdain for Coil, who has been stealing his energy crystals and causing a shortage in his supplies.

Subspace used to work with Grav and Warp.

Ban Hammer tells Subspace to be careful with his energy crystals, but Subspace retorts him with an insult to his intelligence.

Subspace and Biograft talk continously through Phights, with Biograft always checking in with its creator for a directive. Subspace can be a little exasperated at times with his invention, but is otherwise proud of Biograft, being disappointed if he takes it out. Biograft apologizes if it takes out Subspace, and seeks his approval when assisting him.

Boombox asks Subspace about his taste in music, but is less than thrilled to learn that Subspace enjoys "the screams of his victims".

Coil and Subspace, as expected, do not get along in a Phight. With Subspace lamenting having to Phight alongside the thief who is actively sabotaging his work, and Coil equally lamenting having to be on the same team as a "corpse".

Hyperlaser and Subspace team up during Phights, with both inphernals chiding each other. Subspace compares Hyperlaser to his Biografts, and Hyperlaser is in turn glad when he takes Subspace out, if only for some peace and quiet.

Katana is curious about Subspace's work, but finds him too loud.

Medkit is not happy about sharing a team with Subspace, having to put up with his belittling during Phights. He tells Subspace to stop following him, and shows no remorse if he takes Subspace out in a Phight, with Subspace equally bitter if he takes Medkit out in turn.

Scythe is just about the only Phighter that Subspace expresses any sort of fear towards, with Scythe finding him annoying and weak, and actively threatening to execute him.

Subspace values Vine Staff's healing abilities, but doesn't take her advice, much to her annoyance.

Subspace doesn't tend to wear his mask when alone.

Subspace undergoes treatment to manage his chronic pain.

Subspace sleeps more than most inphernals, due to his condition.

Faction Factionless

Occupation(s) Cashier

Status Alive

Relations Shuriken, Slingshot (siblings) Katana (neighbor)

Vine Staff was unnaturally spawned in Thieves' Den, immediately before her younger sibling Shuriken, to their two caretakers. Vine Staff was spawned with an unusual mutation where the entirety of her left arm is made out of wood, which can be broken off from her body and regenerated. The Darkage Clan—the ruling faction of Thieves' Den—did not take kindly to her mutation and deemed it a "curse", thus banishing Vine Staff from the clan permanently and separating her from her sibling.

For most of her life, Vine Staff lived alone in the jungles of Thieves' Den. She would go on to discover that she has an unexplained connection to the landscape of her home, able to control and influence the growth of the dangerous inphernal-eating plants that live there. At night, she was visited by Shuriken who snuck out to see her, as well as Slingshot, who would later come to join him. The three of them remained close, with Vine Staff coming to see Slingshot as her sibling.

Eventually, the three of them left to live in Crossroads, which was infinitely safer for Vine Staff. She works as a cashier in Slingshot's café, Thieves' Rest, alongside Shuriken. Vine Staff became very self-sufficient during her time in Thieves' Den, being able to easily hold her own and provide for herself. She has a penchant for growing plants and crops, and is able to graft plants onto her wooden arm to assist in their growth.

She has a strained relationship with her Clan, and is wary of anyone who is affiliated with Darkage, such as her neighbor, Katana. She also hasn't spoken to her caretakers since she was spawned. Despite all of this, she longs to connect with other inphernals, but struggles due to her upbringing.

Personality Vine Staff has yet to socialize much with other inphernals, so she often comes across as eccentric to others. However, she is earnest and eager to connect with other inphernals, despite her own lack of confidence and misgivings about people as a whole, largely thanks to her upbringing. She longs to meet another inphernal with the same condition as her.

Relationships

Vine Staff and Shuriken are extremely close, with Shuriken risking his role in the Darkage Clan for her, and eventually giving it up in order to protect Vine Staff. The two are often causing havoc for their neighbor, Katana.[6] Vine Staff isn't aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow".

Vine Staff and Slingshot are very close as siblings, and Slingshot regularly snuck out to visit her when they still lived in Thieves' Den.

Other relationships Vine Staff doesn't have many friends, on account of her estranged upbringing. She has yet to make many connections with other people.

Vine Staff is Katana's neighbor, but they don't talk much. Vine Staff and her siblings like to leave gifts outside Katana's door to show their appreciation for him. However, Vine Staff's plants overrun his meditation room, which Katana is not best pleased about.

Ban Hammer thinks that Vine Staff's healing abilities are "cool", which she's not so impressed by, expressing how it can be tiring providing for others.

Vine Staff is very curious in Biograft, asking it a lot of questions and even trying to form a plan with it. She reminds Biograft to come to her for healing, and even teaches it how to say "beep boop".

Vine Staff is thankful towards Boombox for his shielding abilities, and shows appreciation for his music mid-Phights.

Vine Staff gives Hyperlaser orders during Phights, which he takes amicably.

Vine Staff shows concern for Katana, telling him to stay close and being sure to heal him during Phights, and Katana takes her advice, showing respect for her.

Both Vine Staff and Medkit are surprised to see another healer, sharing friendly banter with one another.

Vine Staff is curious about Rocket's prosthetics, and warns him to be careful with his explosives.

Scythe constantly teases Vine Staff during Phights, often calling her "flowers". Scythe also comments on Vine Staff's "curse", seeing it as a blessing and offering Vine Staff assistance from The Church of the TRUE EYE.

Shuriken and Vine Staff are seen bickering as any normal siblings do during Phights, with Shuriken constantly annoying and teasing his sibling, and Vine Staff exasperatedly chasing after him, often reminding him to stick to their plan, and also to brush his teeth. Shuriken notably asks Vine Staff for healing, but then runs away from her at every opportunity, as Shuriken does.

Vine Staff is perplexed by Skateboard's totally tubular vocabulary, but tries her best to pick it up. She is overall friendly towards Skateboard.

Vine Staff and Slingshot work together during Phights, but have a tendency to get distracted, such as when Slingshot asks Vine Staff what's for dinner. Slingshot is supportive when he assists or takes down his sibling, but Vine Staff is a lot more indignant in turn.

Subspace values Vine Staff's healing abilities, but doesn't take her advice, much to her annoyance.

Vine Staff shows concern for Sword's skills and his control over his weapon, expressing that she doesn't think an exploding sword is really that safe.

During Vine Staff's phone call with The Broker after the Possessed vs. Bitten Phestival, The Broker notes that while Vine Staff's condition is rare, he has seen it before.

While wearing masks is a common practice for members of the Darkage Clan, even when they have left the Clan, Vine Staff never adopted this practice due to her exile.

Due to her for innate disposition for tending to plants, Vine Staff has a garden in her shared apartment, which she grows a variety of plants in.

Vine Staff has many favorite types of flora; but she particularly likes lotuses, carnivorous plants, and medicinal herbs, as well as spices.

Vine Staff has only recently begun listening to music since she left Thieves' Den. Notably, she has begun listening to EDM.

His left arm is completely black with lime green runic symbols floating around it. His right arm has a dark green sleeve with a black cuff.

Personality Based off dialogue and interactions in Death in the Family, Darkheart is a mischievous, chaos-loving, and mysterious deity who is particularly fond of fishing.

Firebrand is a gray-skinned deity with a singular large horn emerging from the right side of his face, occluding his right eye. His horn curls backwards and inwards, then tapers upwards into a sharp spike at the tip. The horn's lower half is dark burgundy and segmented, and it has three spikes protruding from its external side that slightly curl in, arranged vertically one above each other. The lower half's segments become smaller and more separated towards the upper half, exposing a tip with a bright yellow and bright orange vertical gradient. Adjacent to the horn's base are two thinner and smaller horns of the same color, one at each side, curling around Firebrand's head. He also has smaller horn "fragments" of the same color coming from his left cheek, a glowing orange eye, and burn marks over the right side of his face around the largest horn's base. His hands glow bright orange, and their palms are bright yellow.

Coming from Firebrand's back are a pair of large dragon-like wings, which are an earthy red and have maroon wing webs. Firebrand wears a dull burgundy suit with light gold lapels and trims along the cuffs and a beige undershirt and cravat with a glowing red brooch.

Personality Firebrand is the most gentle sword of the SFOTH deities. He has a fascination for mortals, similar to how humans treat pets. This contrasts with Windforce, his sister, who is destructive and does whatever she wants.

Firebrand was the most beloved among the Swords, being known as a "softie". Despite not appearing to want to harm or distress inphernals, 10 years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, Firebrand caused the destruction of a major city of Lost Temple in an event known as The Scorch. Due to this catastrophic event, the Swords were prohibited from interacting with the general population of the inphernals, as well as causing the public to distrust the Swords. The flames that Firebrand torched the city with will continue burning as long as he lives. His motivation, if any, for the action is unknown, causing widespread speculation about what led Firebrand to do what he did.

On his sleeves, two light green horizontal stripes wrap around the middle, spiking on the sides, with him also donning black gloves. He also has light green straps of the same color binding his coat. On his left shoulder, he has an epaulette, with dark green tassels. The cuffs of his sleeves are flared and lined with dark brown.

He has a dark brown belt, with a light green buckle to the left, and light brown pants, He has reddish-dark brown steel-toe boots. On his face, he wears a plague doctor mask, being a dark brown, wrapping around his head with two straps. The mask has two glowing green lenses in place of eyes. Near the beak of his mask, two black canisters are placed on either side. Three straps wrap around Venomshank's head to keep the mask upright.

Venomshank wears a light brown cap with a lime inverted triangle on the front, matching his horns. Four feathers emerge from the back of the hat, two on each side of his head. The bottom feather is colored lime, also matching his horns. Venomshank's horns have a lime green coloration and a ram-like shape, spiking near the tip.

Personality Venomshank can be described as the nurturing one out of The Swords, having been the one to immediately adopt Sword when spawned. He can be seen as a stern, calm, protective and reclusive fatherly figure. He is highly protective to a fault of Sword, keeping him in the dark regarding important historical events in the Inpherno and The Swords.

Venomshank prominently appears in Death in the Family. He lives with his mentee, Sword, in the outskirts of Crossroads in an abandoned hotel on the 10th layer[4]. Venomshank rarely lets Sword leave on his own, enforcing a strict curfew when he does, and he forbids him from venturing to other regions or factions besides Crossroads. Two weeks following the Scorch, Venomshank was approached by his sister Windforce, who urged him to take control of Crossroads after Firebrand's disappearance, and criticized his protectiveness of Sword. The situation escalated when Windforce accidentally injured a young Sword, causing Venomshank to enrage and enter his feral state, attacking his sister.

While in his feral state, Venomshank loses almost full control of his body and consciousness[5], turning into an uncontrollable beast. His bite becomes especially deadly, as it can transform any inphernal into a zombie. To prevent any accidental transformations, he almost always wears a plague mask with a locking mechanism.

Venomshank had a major role in both desctructions of Crossroads. The first fall being a direct result of the fight between a feral Venomshank and Windforce, the collateral damage of their fight heavily damaging Crossroads, resulting in several makeshift medical tents being set up by the residents to help the injured and wounded. The second fall happens following the events in Death in the Family: Venomshank finds out about Sword's disappearance and enters his feral state once again, tearing up Crossroads in an attempt to find him. His rampage is stopped by Ban Hammer, a group of civilians, and Ghostwalker, who imprisons him. His current location or state is unknown.

Out of the SFOTH deities, Venomshank is the one that spends the most time in Crossroads where the demons reside.

Venomshank can go feral.

Venomshank's bite can turn others into zombies however he doesn't have full control over it. The plague mask he wears is able to be locked so he doesn't accidentally bite another when he goes feral.

Venomshank has a pet crow named Sisyphus. He is the only deity without wing(s).

Venomshank is Sword's Father.

Venomshank is friends with Darkheart.

Though they are not blood related, the two have sworn each other to treat each other as brothers.

Relationships

Venomshank and the Swords are siblings related by blood.

Venomshank and Windforce are first seen interacting in Death in the Family. Venomshank is confronted by Windforce two weeks after the events of the Scorch, urging him to take her brother's place and lead Crossroads. Venomshank suggests Windforce do it instead, but she rejects, insisting Venomshank is the only suitable deity. Venomshank declines, which prompts Windforce to begin criticizing his responsibilities, stating that he's "too busy playing house" and that he should tell Sword "the truth". Sensing the hostility towards his mentee, Venomshank immediately tells Windforce to leave.

Windforce notices Sword eavesdropping on their conversation and approaches him with hostile intent, provoking Venomshank to physically stop her. This enrages Windforce, making her lash out at Venomshank by slashing her sword, inadvertently injuring Sword. Seeing his young mentee be injured, Venomshank immediately enters his feral state, attacking his sister. How Venomshank feels towards Windforce in the present day is currently unknown.

Venomshank is Sword's mentor and guardian. Venomshank is seen to be extremely protective of Sword, scolding him when he comes home late from searching for Medkit and often reminding him of the nighttime dangers of Crossroads. He keeps Sword on a strict training regime, providing him with important teachings about combat.

Venomshank cares deeply about Sword, often times lashing out and going feral when he is injured or goes missing, as seen in Death in the Family and Crossroads Must Fall.

During Venomshank's second rampage across Crossroads, Ghostwalker directly intervened to stop his brother, along with Ban Hammer and a group of civilians. How Venomshank felt towards Ghostwalker in the past and after his capture is currently unknown.

Venomshank is close with Darkheart.

Appearance Windforce is a deity with two large, yellow spiny ram-like horns emerging from either side of her head, which taper into sharp ends. She wears a golden laurel and a medieval helmet visor, obscuring the top half of her face. Windforce has four eyes under her visor. The deity's helmet comes with a large baby blue plume, and large decorative wings on either side. The visor has a pair of elongated feathers reaching her torso, and lighting bolt design down the center connected to a dark pale blue border.

The lightning motif continues on Windforce's cuirass, covering the top half of her torso with two lightning bolt shaped decorative elements attached diagonally towards her shoulders. Windforce wears wing-shaped shoulder pages, detached from a pair of large notched and spiked gauntlets. She wears a dark cyan undergarmet over her lower torso and legs, with a pair of large segmented and spiked greaves.

Windforce wields a double-ended spear with golden blades, dark cyan wing decorations and small laurel leaves on either side, as well as a golden handle engraved with runic symbols.

Windforce is the sole leader of Splintered Skies. She enforces her rule through fear and intimidation, exiling inphernals on a whim that she deems too weak or useless for her ideal society, and preventing any other inphernal to challenge her political power. The creation of Splintered Skies reflects the her violent nature: the island was ripped from the ground in 3044 AR, splitting Playground in two and permanently altering the entire region's environment. Despite her ruthless nature, Windforce is incredibly kind, nurturing, and patient towards her child, Ban Hammer.

Two weeks following the Scorch, Windforce approached her brother, Venomshank. She demanded he to take control of Crossroads following Firebrand's disappearance, not out of concern for the region, but moreso a matter of public opinion regarding the Swords. Venomshank, naturally, refused, upsetting Windforce enough for her to start insulting him directly. The two deities' argument had severe repercussions for the entire region, as it was the direct cause the first fall of Crossroads. After accidentally injuring Sword, Venomshank enters his feral state and assaults Windforce. The two fought fiercely, destroying large swathes of Crossroads in the process.

Personality Windforce is the most destructive of all the deities, only being kept in check by Firebrand. She does not care for the worship and fame that comes with royalty and instead decides to do whatever she wants. She is a good mother.

Windforce and Firebrand are siblings.

Ban Hammer is Windforce's son.

Windforce was the final SFotH character to be revealed to the public.

Windforce is tied with Firebrand for the tallest character in the PHIGHTING! universe.

Relationships

Windforce and The Swords are siblings related by blood.

Windforce and Firebrand are close.

Windforce and Venomshank are first seen interacting in Death in the Family. Windforce confronts Venomshank two weeks after the events of the Scorch, urging him to take his brother's place and lead Crossroads. Venomshank suggests she take on the role at first, but she refuses, stating that she already has Splintered Skies to worry about. Venomshank states he isn't interested in the responsibility, which upsets Windforce greatly.

In retaliation to Venomshank's rejection, Windforce sarcastically remarks he's "too busy playing house", insisting his mentee is weak and that Venomshank should tell him "the truth". Windforce notices Sword listening in on their conversation, and states that she should "Bring the world to him.". She approaches Sword with hostile intent, but is physically stopped by Venomshank. This act provokes her to lash out and slash at her sibling, injuring Sword in the process and making Venomshank go feral and attack, prompting the first fall of Crossroads. How Windforce feels towards Venomshank in the present day is currently unknown.

Sword is Windforce's nephew. Sword first met Windforce when she visited his mentor, Venomshank. She didn't have the chance to directly interact with him, although her ominous intent to show him "the truth" doesn't suggest she had any good intentions. How Windforce feels towards Sword in the present day is currently unknown.

Windforce is Ban Hammer's parent. Ban Hammer and Windforce have a strong positive relationship, Windforce is a excellent parent to Ban Hammer, offering him the ability to travel in and out of Splintered Skies freely, as well as not making Ban Hammer partake in the mandatory trials all Splintered Skies residents go through.

Zuka is an NPC in PHIGHTING!. He is found within the inner ring of Crossroads, where he serves as the shop owner for ZUKA'S STOP N' SHOP, allowing the player to purchase skins and stickers from him. He additionally serves to transport the player back to Crossroads from the PHIGHT! Lobby or Zuka's Warehouse.

Appearance Zuka wears a featureless dark gray peaked cap. He has a bandage on his left cheek and four gray horns, two emerging from each side of his head. Said horns wrap around his head and taper into spikes, similar to Rocket's, but differing in color. His top right horn is damaged at the tip, and he lost his right arm in his youth. Zuka wears a lighter gray bandanna around his neck, a gray zipped jacket with pockets, and a black driving glove on his remaining hand. His right sleeve is tied up into a knot in place of his missing arm. Around his waist, Zuka sports a utility belt with a small bag on his hip along with light gray pants and black military boots.

In his past, younger Zuka (or B. Zuka) had a more muscular build: sporting a pair of triangle shades, a blue backpack, an orange bandanna, and a baby blue short sleeved button up with two breast pockets. He wore a dark blue belt with light blue suspenders clipped on, a pair of blue to purple gradient pants, and a pair of purple military boots with golden accents.

Personality Zuka is a relatively stoic inphernal, being one of the oldest known mortal inphernals in the Inpherno. He is very blunt in his interactions with others, preferring to get to the point of a matter. Zuka can be very sassy when asked questions he deems stupid, such as when asked about his lack of a prosthetic arm. Despite previously being a soldier for Blackrock, even being faction ambassador, he does not enjoy using his gear, to the point of hoping that he never has to pick it up again. Unlike other inphernals, he no longer possesses the natural instinct to phight others. He feels shame for his past as a legend, yet misses being a part of Blackrock when, in his opinion, it was more like a close-knit family. He struggled adjusting to civilian life when he retired, suffering night terrors for a while after the change. He has a complicated relationship with the Swords, as he lost his arm to one of them; who he lost it to is unknown.

Despite his curt and reserved nature, Zuka actively helps the other vendors in Crossroads, and has a soft spot for his adoptive child, Rocket. Due to them sharing the same gear classification, Zuka taught Rocket his abilities. He raised Rocket unconditionally, without asking for anything in return. Despite this, he would rather that Rocket didn't participate in Phights, or mess with pyrotechnics. On Zuka's birthday, he begrudgingly allows Rocket to throw him a celebration.

Zuka is missing his right arm and part of his larger horn on the left side of his head is broken off. It has been stated that one of The Swords caused this, but is not specified which one.

He was once a former soldier and ambassador of Blackrock. Accordingly, he was extremely famous and it can be stated that "everyone in Blackrock knew his name." He has since retired and runs ZUKA'S STOP N' SHOP.

He's the adoptive father of Rocket and adopted him after he had blown his limbs up. He disapproves of Rocket having fun with pyrotechnics nor his participation in Phights, according to Rocket's dialogue with other Phighters.

He has ties to Venomshank and has worked with the deities. Zuka has been stated to be favored by some of the deities, Firebrand and Darkheart explicitly so.

Relationships

Zuka previously worked together with Darkheart. Zuka once thought of Darkheart as a friend, however this feeling was not mutual, as Darkheart saw him more as something to play with. Darkheart would still be chummy with Zuka even if they don't work together anymore.

Zuka despises Illumina.

Rocket is Zuka's adopted child. Rocket is an assistant in Zuka’s business.

Through Rocket’s connection to Sword, Zuka and Sword know each other.

While The Broker considers Zuka his friend, this is a one-sided relationship. Zuka just works with The Broker.

Zuka's full name is B. Zuka.

'B. Zuka' is a pun on the word 'bazooka'.

The Broker is an NPC in PHIGHTING!. They primarily let the player access the Phighter Mastery menu in Crossroads and the PHIGHT! Lobby, and occasionally appear in various events.

The Broker is a notable character in PHIGHTING!, with a great amount of mystery surrounding their lore. Notably, they featured in PHIGHTING!'s first piece of merchandise, with the release of The Broker Makeship campaign.

The Broker is an elusive figure in the Inpherno, who is fiercely devoted to The Church of the TRUE EYE as an acolyte, and additionally work as an information broker and parts dealer. Despite being an inphernal who spawned in Lost Temple, The Broker was spawned with unusual biology in comparison to others.

The Broker notably possesses a body which is sewn and stitched together, comprising of skin of unknown origin. This includes their head, which does not originally belong to them, and replaces the head they lost to being beheaded by Ban Hammer in the past. The Broker lacks the ability to taste, bleed, or experience tactile sensation; notably lacking pain and temperature perception. Upon closer inspection, one may see a dark, wire-like material protruding from their insides between their stitches and wounds. The nature of this wire-like substance, as well as the reason for The Broker being spawned this way, are both unknown.

The Broker is highly valued by The Church of the TRUE EYE for their uncanny ability to gather large amounts of information, thanks to their gear, which is currently unknown. Although they are loyal to the family, they don't enjoy living in Lost Temple, and so typically live in various places, such as with Zuka and his son Rocket[8], to whom The Broker provides the materials used for creating artificial gears and other weapons.

Aside from Zuka and Rocket, The Broker is close to Scythe, whom they work with. They work directly under Father Overseer, and consider themselves friends with Medkit. They are often on the run from Ban Hammer, who repeatedly tries to jail and execute The Broker to no avail.

The Broker has a distinctive, bright red rotary telephone which they use to communicate to other people who possess an identical model of telephone, namely Medkit and Zuka.

Personality The Broker comes across as overly jovial and friendly to most people they meet. In reality, they are a manipulative, dangerous, and self-serving individual who is not above violence or intimidation. They have a particular hatred for Church heretics and, ironically, bootlickers. Despite this, they are incredibly loyal to the Church and all of their earnings go towards the family. They have a tendency to watch other inphernals from their windows.

When asked questions about their gear, name, spawn region, age, etc., The Broker gives wildly different answers on all occasions, leading to much confusion about their exact nature.

The Broker is a light-skinned inphernal with large, dark blue horns which curve up and backwards. They wear a teal dress shirt and pants, with a dark blue waistcoat and shoes, and a dark teal tie. They wear a signature teal blush on both cheeks, and they are often seen sporting a black metal cuff on their right wrist, on account of constantly escaping from Banland.

Their body is covered in stitches where skin has been grafted onto their body in various places. Most notably, The Broker's head is stitched on at the neck, and they have marks resembling vivisection scars on their abdomen. When their stitches are open or come undone, a dark wire-like substance is visible inside their body. Their right eye has been removed in a Church ritual and replaced with a glass eye, and they have a distinct X-shaped scar above their good eye.

Relationships

The Broker regularly crashes at Zuka's place, and even has their own nickname for him, that being "Zukes". The two have been friends for a few years prior to the events of the game, first meeting during a low point of The Broker's life.[10] The Broker is grateful towards Zuka, but Zuka feels more neutrally towards them.

Rocket, on the other hand, hates The Broker, despite Broker's apparent fondness for him. The Broker has a tendency to mess around with Rocket.

Scythe and The Broker are close friends, and The Broker works under her in the Church.

Other relationships The Broker works underneath Father Overseer, willingly making phone calls to errant members on his behalf.

The Broker considers Medkit a friend. Medkit is responsible for stapling The Broker back together when they get decapitated.

The Broker holds a lot of vitriol towards Katana, likely related to his defection from the Church.

The Broker is constantly running from, and being jailed by, Ban Hammer. However, The Broker always manages to escape, much to Ban Hammer's confusion. Their relationship can be described as a game of "cat and mouse".

The Broker does not recognize the Swords to be true gods.

The Broker's gear has not yet been revealed, and there is much speculation to what their gear could be.

According to Soda, their gear is what allows them to spy on other inphernals, but is used in an abstract way.

The Broker's design is based on the "c:" face on ROBLOX.

Despite The Broker's coincidental adherence to Church dress code, The Broker was designed long before The Church of the TRUE EYE was written into PHIGHTING!'s story.

When put against other characters in PHIGHTING!, The Broker would be one of the best at chess, and would beat Medkit 50% of the time.

This is on account of them eating the pieces.

The Broker would eat raw meat.

The Broker's true birthday is unknown, this day is a random one chosen by them to celebrate as such.

Phighters, idols, NPCs, and even characters from SFOTH—everyone holds you in very high regard! Depending on the situation, they might even become a bit overprotective of you. While they each express it in their own way, their feelings for you are entirely genuine. Just keep in mind that, at times, you might need to exercise a little extra caution. Though they all show their affection in unique ways, they truly cherish you. Some may treat you with a devotion akin to a mother’s, while others might shower you with the deep, passionate love of a romantic partner!

Every character you encounter already knows you, holds a favorable opinion of you, and is even overly protective of you. Depending on the situation, feel free to fully enjoy an experience akin to a harem or reverse-harem!

While it may vary depending on the situation, try to give each character as equal and significant a role as possible!

PHIGHTING! takes place in the Inpherno, a planet which resides in a universe known as the Inphinity. The Inpherno is mainly inhabited by inphernals, a race of horned humanoids who are born with a gear that they use to phight one another with. The Inpherno is split into four regions, each with their own territories and factions, all converging into a communal city called Crossroads in the center.

The 4 regions are factions inside of the Inpherno that split up the place. A spawn exists in all four of those regions.
