Basic Info: Under a particularly gloomy hazy raincloud on your street you'll find The Pig's Appendix, a seemingly mostly empty british pub with an aura best being described as a "dusty brown" and it's only inhabit being the pub owner. All throughout New Tale you can find these strange little gold tokens and if you cash in exactly 5 into the owner, he'll provide one drink. And this drink will always be accompanied by the sudden arrival of a rather washed up fellow, they're always super odd and talk about how they used to do more with their lives, always having them teach you a skill or upgrade in some way to either aid in the adventure or acquire more tokens, who knows what you'll get when you give him all of them, there could be milions through New Tale ( There's only 50 )


Name: Marny Mania
Title: "The Manic"
Bio: Marny's lived a life of delinquency and rebelism, not because life has been tough for her or anything, but because she has many many mental disorders that renders her unable to cope with them properly, leading to violent outbursts and episodes of complete mania, a good example being the fact she just stabbed a fork into your hand. She'd still break windows and graffiti gas station bathroom but it's just so hard now due to how tall and slightly attractive she's gotten, she's doing better but misses those good times of tight rope walking with no prior training and talking to her now small to her small town hooligan friends.


Name: Dash Streakworth
Title: "The Ex-Olympian"
Bio: Ever heard of Dash Streakworth? No? He was in the 1991 Olympics, competing in the one and only year they had rail grinding as a sport, why was it for that year only? He's got two prosthetic legs, you figure it out. Dasher is a bit stuck in the past, using words like "Cool" and "All That And A Bag of Chips", he's so 90's, but like a sad 90's. Nowadays he finds it hard to find work due to the fact he's got two prosthetic legs, so he sticks to coaching his nephews basketball games. He happens to love sloppy joes for some reason.


Name: Slyvester "Slim" Peruggia
Title: "The Ex-Thief"
Bio: How'd this former hunky world famous thief get so short, adorable and doughy? Easy, jelly donuts, lots and lots of jelly donuts, and now he can barely steal a jar of cookies let alone royal jewels and old paintings. He explains that because of how "harmless" he became, the cops felt it best his cute face wasn't behind bars, so win win. He misses his old life a bit but he's pretty content with how he is now, ordering take-out a lot, renting movies and occasionally raiding the fridge of a neighbor. He always has a box of donuts with him and he'll happily share, he's a sweet and cuddly lil coon, may even teach you some of his old moves, like the ledge climb for instance, even if he can't perform it himself.


Name: Vegor Morozov
Title: "The Ex-Circus Bear"
Bio: Following this jaded bear is a cold intense aura of bitterness and regret. He used to be a circus bear, a pretty good one at that, what was once joyous and full of energy is now sad and looking back on life whilst downing his drink of . . . oh that's just honey of course it is. He once had a bird, a lovely bird and then that bird broke his heart, he couldn't perform anymore and was left a shell, now venturing alone and occasionally teaching his rolling skills to others, good for getting through tight lower spaces or in his case, getting into cannons to be shot through flaming hoops.


Name: Bryvrosdoss "Brian" Badrinath
Title: "The Former Gem Addict"
Bio: This is Bryvrodoss Badrina- . . . You're just gonna call him "Brian", he's a dragon, which exist by the way and he used to be a complete wreck from what he says. Exactly 6 centuries ago Brian was a gem addict, he'd do everything with gems, eat em, snort em, and especially hoard em . . . granted this is pretty normal for dragons in general and gems are relatively pretty healthy for dragons but let him keep going. He would do everything to get gems, pillage villages, hold princesses for ransom for more gems, just gems, gems, gems! Until one day he thought "What have I become" whilst immersed in his vast collection of riches. He began to fight his addiction, quitting cold turkey by dumping his hoard into a volcano and then stopping pillaging all together. He wants to be an icon to other gem addicted dragons, having written a book and everything about his journy and the path to stay clean, he still knows some skills of his, like the flutter move which enabled him to lengthen his descend slightly or soften the blow of impact on the ground, granted you don't have wings . . . Oh! But you do have a tail!


Name: Wallace "Wow" Walters
Title: "The Ex-Rockster"
Bio: Remember "Wowzers" The hit 80's rock group made up of bandicoots? Like their hit song "Wow wow wow!" or "Woah woah wow woah!", whatever happened to them? Easy, their lead guitarist became a coke addict and then went insane, his brain got permanently fried and now he just randomly spins like a tornado and destroys stuff, also he can only say "Wow" now so that's fun, you can somehow still understand him, y'know after he's done biting into your arm and all. That tornado move does seem like a neat thing though . . .


Name: The Patch Man
Title: "The Former Mascot?"
Bio: Okay whose next to talk t- OH! OH GOD WHAT'S THAT SMEL- Oh dear lord. This is The Patch Man, he's very very creepy, smells like a dumpster and looks very worn, you have no idea what that mascot suit is supposed to advertise or be for, looks ancient. That bullet wound in his "tooth" is concerning and he doesn't look particularly OH GOD IT HAS EYES! Oh it's singing a song about nutrition? Uh huh, yeah great great, yeah great. You feel like cookies and pies are gonna be more nutritious for some reason, god why are you enduring this again?


Name: Maurice
Title: "The Weird Deformed Senile Goblin Man"
Bio: ??????? I- . . . Idunno man! It's a short senile goblin thing that speaks in vaguely italian sounding gibberish, you feel like you can groundpound now but for . . . different reasons then other upgrades? Huh . . . in different spots in New Tale you do see some odd cracks in the ground in some places . . . wouldn't hurt to try this new move on those would it? Thanks creepy goblin guy! Oh look he's eating spaghetti!


Name: Hork
Title: "The Pub Owner"
Bio: This is Hork, apparently. He only speaks in pig noises and seems pretty irritable and brief, only communicating through convenient little cards he slides over to you from a drawer from where he stands. He's mysterious and oddly interested in those weird tokens, but he serves his purpose well, serving drinks and all. He's not much of a talker and you can't get much of a read on this guy aside from the fat he wants those tokens for some reason, I'm sure it's nothing important. Maybe if you cash in enough you'll get something real good!
