Milothey/them14Cat WerebeastMilo is the protagonist of Aetherdrop. They are autistic and tend to respond to things flatly or dryly. Quest says they're the hero of the Aetherdrop Prophecy, but they suspect he's not telling them the full truth. Regardless, they don't really care enough to question him.

Questhe/him??? (Adult)Raccoon(?) AetherlingQuest acts as Milo's enigmatic guide throughout Aetherdrop. He enjoys telling jokes and doesn't seem to take anything too seriously. His jovial manner hides the fact that he may not be as trustworthy as he seems.

Marzipan (Marzi)she/her20sSnake AetherlingMarzi is one of the last remaining denizens of the Mayor's Manor. She used to be Forest Town's gardener - back when they had a garden (and a town). Now she mostly roams the halls alone, occasionally running into her crush, Cricket, and the mean-tempered Theo.

Cricketshe/they20sGoat AetherlingFormerly a scientist, Cricket's current "job" includes shooing Quest away from the Manor - and not much else. Her hobbies include bullying her former lab partner, Theo, and flirting with the easily-flustered Marzipan. She's not afraid to throw a punch if needed (or if they want to), and has cracked Theo's head on more than one occasion.

Theodore (Theo)he/him20sAetherlingTheo went a little nuts after the Mayor showed up. Cricket says he used to be worth working with - but anyone who talks to him now would find that hard to believe. Despite his big talk and desire for power, Theo's flask head makes him vulnerable to physical attacks.

THE MAYORhe/him[AGE NOT AVAILABLE]Aetherling(?)The tyrant of Forest Town, the Mayor didn't hesitate to absorb the souls of anyone who opposed his sudden reign. He's really only a mayor in name; he'd never give those he subjugates a chance to fight back.

Malloryhe/him40sDog AetherlingMallory's job is, allegedly, guarding the bridge that leads into the Graveyard. To be fair, Quest is the only one traveling between zones nowadays, and he doesn't tend to take conventional routes. Most of Mallory's time is spent composing poetry and chatting with his best friend, Whisper. He tends to be inaccurately melodramatic in his delivery, but he means well.

Whisperthey/it???Void GhostThe door is not yet unlocked.Whisper spends most of its time with its best friend, Mallory. It can only speak in Old Runic, but Mallory and Quest appear able to understand it. Mallory was taught by Whisper themself. For Quest, the understanding is innate.

Sharkiehe/they13Shark AetherlingSharkie is an energetic little guy who is passionate about making friends and having fun. His energy might be too much for Milo, but in the past he had many more friends to split his attention between. Maybe he'll get them back someday.

Sashashe/her20Cat AetherlingSasha's ability to wield her soul as a source of power is unique among Aetherlings. Of course, it would have to be, considering she learned it from the Grave Warden. She considers him a father figure - a feeling which he seems to return, albeit with a deep sadness in his eyes. Sasha's loyalty is not something to trifle with.(Sasha is also the only Aetherling who has managed to physically and mentally age in the Aether Domain. Perhaps this has to do with the things the Warden teaches her.)

Arizonashe/her30sLizard AetherlingArizona would do anything for her beloved wife, Zinnia. Anything, including sacrificing others to keep her murderous boss appeased. She does what she has to, and doesn't take any unnecessary risks. As long as she does what she's told, Zinnia will remain safe - at least, that's what she's been led to believe.

Mixhe/they14Snake AetherlingA self-proclaimed criminal, Mix finds the most joy in doing the opposite of whatever Arizona tells them to. He and Dusty are the only two remaining children in Sunset Town - a fact that may play into their disdain for the current leadership. At the very least, Mix knows to stay out of the Sheriff's way. In return, Arizona pretends to not know where their hideout is.

Dustyshe/it12Frog(?) AetherlingDusty is a strange child. She tends to stare unnervingly at people when speaking - a habit that Mix finds endearing rather than creepy. She can often be heard muttering under her breath correcting Mix's mistakes when he speaks. It's unclear whether Mix knows she does this or not.Arizona offered to remove the shackle on her wrist, but Dusty seems rather attached to it.

Zinniashe/herearly 30sBat AetherlingZinnia spends most of her time at home for her own safety. She knows that her relationship with Arizona is the only thing keeping the Sheriff from taking her soul. She's genuinely kind, always offering to let Mix and Dusty stay at her and Ari's house. (Arizona would rather eat sand than have two kids running around her house, but she loves her wife too much to stop her from offering.)Despite Arizona's efforts to the contrary, Zinnia knows the horrible things her wife has had to do to keep both of them safe in this dying world. She wishes things were different.

Lullabyany pronouns14Deer AetherlingDespite watching their audience grow smaller and smaller, Lullaby refuses to stop performing. After all, who else is left to keep a smile on everyone's faces? Well Security doesn't smile. And Augustine is annoying and mean. But at least there's her brother! Encore might be the only thing keeping Lullaby going at this point. Maybe that's why they're immediately endeared to Milo. Lucky for Lullaby, the feeling is mutual.

Encorehe/they21Deer AetherlingEncore's main priority is ensuring his hyperactive sibling doesn't accidentally ruin the Director's shows and draw her ire. His second priority, it seems, is spending time with Augustine (much to Lullaby's annoyance). He's the only cast member who has befriended Security - a fact that may have contributed to the three of them being the last performers standing.

Augustinehe/they/she20Bear AetherlingAugustine's ego is the only thing keeping him from going insane - well, that, and Encore. He's really the only person Augustine doesn't feel the need to act around nowadays. While it doesn't excuse it, his rudeness accomplishes the same purpose as Lullaby's constant smile - survival.

Securitythey/themlate 20sBunny AetherlingSecurity's relationship with the Director has kept them safe at the cost of pushing almost everyone else away from them. That's not to say the arrangement isn't genuine - both parties are very much in love, and while the Director might be a diva, she'd never hurt her precious bunny.

Chatterit/theyearly 20sAetherling"Chatter" is actually the name of one of three entities that inhabit its body. Being mute, Chatter's actions and thoughts are instead narrated by the other two - Grin and Snarl. The three of them get along rather well - although it wasn't always that way.Chatter is prone to confusion. If not for Grin and Snarl, it might find itself lost in Heaven's winding corridors for days on end. Van Web helps them when she can, while Bishop's presence tends to make things worse.

Bishophe/it40sRobot AetherlingBishop is an asshole and he knows it. His desire to experiment with robotics overrides any empathy he may possess. Many of the souls absorbed by the Deity were first Bishop's failed test subjects.It's probably in need of repairs, but it refuses to let anyone touch its own software - a fact that has been leading to frequent shutdowns when it gets worked up. He hates when this happens in front of others.It is unknown why the voice that plays when he shuts down is more feminine than his own.

Van Webshe/herLate 40sSpider AetherlingVan Web is the Deity's personal butler. Over the years, she's learned that resistance to anything the Bosses do isn't worth the risk. This complacency has kept her alive longer than most. She can't stand Bishop, and makes an effort to ensure Chatter doesn't get caught up in his experiments. It is unsure if this act of kindness is a result of a direct order from the Deity or solely of her own volition.
