Mostly headcanons [minus Battat] Notes: Money in this world is referred to as POINTs. If a darkner is not "in sync" with the dark world or doesnt have a purpose there, they turn to stone. Shadowguys do not speak- they communicate through translateable saxophone music.
"Who is Mike?! WHO IS HE?!!" Battat is one of the fake Mikes attempting to find the real Mike. He is a "right hand" to Tenna. He takes his job as an impersonator very seriously, acting out the most elaborate portrayal of Mike and expreslsing annoyance with his fellow impersonators for not acting the part. As Mike, he talks constantly, claims to be Tenna's most trusted friend and helper. Out of costume, he is often theorizing about the oddities of the world when he's alone.
"Pst. Hey. 1500 points, and I'll getcha somethin' great." Relaxed, chill, willing to strike a deal for POINTs. Whether it be cheating a gamble or sneaking you into the S-Rank room, Trich is quite the cheater. He's the type to bet it all on black, lose it, then secretly take the money back after the loss when no one is looking. And almost no one suspects him. He is clever, shady, but is actually pretty good company.
"We've been close ever since!" Sweet, friendly, and yearning. Pipps is absolute best friends with a Zapper; and feels even more than that for said Zapper. They are a bit embarrassed over their crush, but genuinely love them and would do anything to stay with them.
"No one would shed a tear for him." They are mean on the outside, but pained on the inside. They see the bartender, Ramb, in high light. Whenever Ramb quit and was turned to stone, they spoke of all Ramb did for them. They said that no one would shed a tear for him, but they were in fact coping. Trying to make it hurt less. They're grieving. But they're still just a Pippins; in comfortable settings, they're sort of both a bully and a jokester.
"You're crushing on a ZAPPER?! AHAHA! Thats like crushing on that toothbrush guy from that one commercial! What a WEIRDO, HAHAHA!"
4 Pippinses were hanging out at Ramb's bar. Well- formerly Ramb's. It sorta went unattended now after he turned to stone.
"Heyy, the looks don't matter! What MATTERS is the kindness, ok?! Besides, what's so WEIRD about them?!"
"Well, I mean, Zappers dont have a face. You can't kiss someone without a face!"
"Pshhh, not with YOUR attitude!!"
