Guest List
Dr. Doom
Chemist & Heir of Doom Mansion
Dr. Doom is an infamous chemist and the heir of Doom Mansion. This doc has burned many bridges and made many enemies in the past, but recently came to a point in life with the desire to make everything right with associates and former loved ones. Dr. Doom, being an heir, retired from an illustrious career with DDT Chemicals, Inc. Many years of societal pressure from environmentalist groups finally made Dr. Doom aware that harmful pesticides would have serious consequences on the food web.
Dr. Doom recently hired Ms. Ivory, a woman with a mysterious past, as the housekeeper of the mansion. However, it wasn't until recently that Dr. Doom found out the truth about her! Nevertheless, Dr. Doom is trying to turn over a new leaf and build bridges, not tear them down. Or, does the doc have ulterior motives for inviting the guests to this dinner party?
Dr. Doom has two remaining family members - Miss Crimson and Ms. Pheasant- who are both nieces. Miss Crimson is the only one in good graces, as Ms. Pheasant has chosen the path of estrangement.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Trendy suit. (Click for women's and click for men's.) Glasses as an optional accessory.
Miss Crimson
Hollywood Actress
Miss Crimson, Dr. Doom's stunning niece and a famous A-list film actress, is also the younger sister of the controversial Ms. Pheasant. The two have been at odds for years, largely due to Ms. Pheasant’s relentless mentions of a diamond necklace that Miss Crimson allegedly borrowed without permission.
Tensions escalated further when Ms. Pheasant and Dr. Doom had a falling out over a heated board game dispute. As a result, Miss Crimson recently found herself named the sole heir in Dr. Doom’s last will, adding yet another layer of drama to the already strained family dynamics.
Unfortunately, Miss Crimson's last movie release was a huge flop. Rumor has it that the film she has just signed on to star in may not fair well at the Box Office, either. What does this say about her career? In Hollywood, one day you're hot, and the next, you're not.
Miss Crimson will do anything that Dr. Doom asks of her, so she has agreed to help host the dinner party.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Glamorous red evening gown. Hair should be in an elegant hairstyle.
General Dijon
Military General and Avid Hunter
General Dijon maintains order in any room with a commanding presence. As an avid military officer and hunter, the rumor persists about this decorated officer that a grenade is kept in one hand while a revolver lies beneath the pillow during sleep.
Despite never having left U.S. soil, the constant fear of an ambush remains ever-present. The General’s mind is perpetually occupied with thoughts of military strategy, innovative tactics, and the development of cutting-edge technologies, such as drones and modernized armies. Every situation is approached with precision and discipline, ensuring readiness for any perceived threat, no matter how unlikely. This relentless focus has earned this soldier the nickname "The General," a title worn with pride and authority.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Any military clothing and a yellow (mustard-colored) scarf/ tie. A fake revolver or shotgun as an optional prop.
Jade
Hair Tonic Salesperson
This slimy con artist is one to avoid, as Jade will make a shady business deal with anyone foolish enough to sign on the dotted line. Jade owns the company, Grow Your Hair Like a Chia Pet. Jade's proprietary blend is marketed as a miracle cure for baldness.
However, the company is relatively new with guarantees to grow back hair with daily use after a year - if not much sooner. The company will boom or crash once enough customers reveal their documented results. Jade is currently seeking investors even though the tonic sales have already been skyrocketing.
Jade's younger sister, Dr. Golden, was contracted by Jade to formulate the miracle tonic. Sources say that Dr. Golden has been concerned with how Jade is running the company - not that she owns a share of the company but rather because her reputation is on the line with the tonic's success...or failure. Jade had agreed not to disclose who formulated the tonic, but during the very first infomercial for the miracle baldness cure, Dr. Golden's face was plastered on the screen with all of her credentials.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS:: Any tacky green suit or dress (Click for women's and click for men's) with fake hair tonic bottles as optional props.
Ms. Ivory
Housekeeper
Ms. Ivory, the sarcastic housekeeper of Doom Mansion, keeps the estate in relatively good order, though she doesn’t get along with the other staff. Perhaps it’s because she’s not the only one stuck cleaning up, or maybe her abrasive attitude doesn’t help matters. Dr. Doom isn’t exactly known for kindness, especially when dealing with staff who have a less-than-stellar job performance history.
Hired just six months ago, Ms. Ivory has recently started slacking on the job, and cobwebs are now appearing throughout the estate. Rumor has it that Dr. Doom didn’t bother to check her work history, and nobody seems to know much about her past—though whispers suggest she's the estranged sister of Dr. Grape. With Dr. Doom being a notorious neat freak, there isn’t much to clean, so Ms. Ivory's laziness wasn't noticed at first - but Dr. Doom is sure to have a meltdown when the slacking is discovered. It seems Ms. Ivory might no longer care to impress the boss, and one has to wonder why.
Nevertheless, the mansion's staff have nicknamed her 'Resident Couch Potato.'
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS:: A traditional or French maid costume. Feather duster as a prop.
Ms. Pheasant
High Society Socialite
Ms. Pheasant is a wealthy socialite from Gothic City with a flair for drama and a knack for stirring up intrigue. She is Dr. Doom’s niece and Miss Crimson’s older sister, though her relationship with Dr. Doom is estranged due to a heated spat over a silly trivia board game that neither of them can let go of. She is about to be estranged from Miss Crimson, as well, if she doesn't stop harboring ill feelings over a necklace she believes her younger sibling borrowed without permission.
Known for her sharp tongue and even sharper legal team, Ms. Pheasant is notoriously litigious and has been known to sue people for anything from spilling tea on her designer gown to stealing her parking spot.
A jet-setting socialite with countless secrets and whispers of a troubled past, Ms. Pheasant was once the president of the prestigious Proper Ladies of Gothic City club, a highly exclusive group with a $50K membership price tag. For reasons unknown, she is no longer a member, leaving the town gossips desperate for answers. Adding to the mystique, she’s been divorced eight times—each separation more dramatic than the last—and yet, she continues to live life with unapologetic flair. Gothic City wouldn’t be half as entertaining without her.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A blue prim and proper dress suitable for ‘high society.’ A bag of fake money as an optional prop.
Miss Gray
Lawyer
This legal diva, who sees only black and white, serves as Dr. Doom's no-nonsense attorney. Known for her sharp debating skills but utterly lacking a personality, Miss Gray operates with cold efficiency. Despite not being a certified accountant, she somehow has full control over all her clients' finances, a detail that many find peculiar but have yet to question.
Dr. Doom recently accused Miss Gray of embezzlement, claiming millions are missing from the accounts she oversees. With access to every detail of Dr. Doom's financial affairs, Miss Gray could have easily transferred funds unnoticed—if guilty. However, she has openly stated she’s willing to have her own finances reviewed by a third party, a bold move that has kept Dr. Doom from pressing further—at least for now. Sources say Dr. Doom's niece, Miss Crimson, has already alerted the bank manager about the discrepancies. If Miss Gray has something to hide, she better hope she covered her tracks well.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A gray business suit with a briefcase as an optional prop.
Princess Fuchsia
Princess of Zamkiki
Princess Fuchsia, Dr. Doom’s eccentric friend from the small island of Zamkiki off South Africa’s coast, is a renowned world traveler and an avid collector with a flair for the unusual. Known for her bizarre and ever-changing obsessions, the princess has cycled through a series of peculiar collections over the years. From vintage salt shakers to rare taxidermied insects, antique teacups shaped like vegetables, and even jars of sand from every beach she’s visited, her passions are as eclectic as they are fleeting.
Though Princess Fuchsia and Dr. Doom were once close, the two haven’t spoken in years. The princess claims Dr. Doom "ghosted her," despite admitting their lack of communication was mutual. Curiously, a glance at phone records reveals it was actually Dr. Doom who called last—a fact that the princess conveniently overlooks. While their friendship remains dormant, those who know the princess insist she’s as quirky, unforgettable, and unapologetically dramatic as ever.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A pink princess costume with a tiara. A fake frog as an optional prop.
Chef Ginger
Executive Chef
Chef Ginger has a personality as spicy as the chef’s delectable dishes! Known for bold flavors and even bolder opinions, this Michelin-starred culinary genius never hesitates to tell it like it is. Poached from the exclusive Las Vegas hotspot, Golden Ember Casino & Resort, Chef Ginger was lured to Gothic City after Dr. Doom offered a 10% salary increase—a tempting deal that led the chef to trade the bright lights of Vegas for the eerie allure of Doom Mansion.
Recently, Chef Ginger moved onto a houseboat with all belongings on board, but panic is simmering as Dr. Doom decided to nix staff bonuses this year. Adding to the tension, Chef Ginger has been angling for a promotion to butler—a position Dr. Doom continues to put off, with no plans of making it happen. Rumor has it the chef is seeking employment elsewhere, especially after growing fed up with dealing with the ever-sarcastic Ms. Ivory. With a resume full of accolades and a kitchen as sharp as a paring knife, Chef Ginger might not stay tied to Doom Mansion for much longer.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A chef’s uniform. A spatula as an optional prop. Red-haired wig as an optional accessory.
Dr. Grape
Physics Professor
Dr. Grape is an absent-minded physics professor and former colleague of Dr. Doom, with a long-standing belief in being far more intelligent than Dr. Doom. However, back in college, Dr. Doom orchestrated a humiliating moment by causing Dr. Grape to fail a chemistry course—a stunt that has driven a wedge between the two ever since. Dr. Grape continues to expect an apology for the incident but remains skeptical that one will ever come.
As the estranged sibling of Doom Mansion’s housekeeper, Ms. Ivory, Dr. Grape has kept that familial connection under wraps for years. In fact, many believe Dr. Grape and Ms. Ivory are not on speaking terms, mainly because Dr. Grape never mentioned having a sister until Ms. Ivory’s arrival in Gothic City six months ago. Despite this secrecy, Dr. Grape and Ms. Ivory share a close bond, with Dr. Grape being fiercely protective of Ms. Ivory. Concerned about her troubled past and her involvement with the wrong crowd five years ago, Dr. Grape is determined to keep Ms. Ivory out of any precarious situations that might jeopardize her future. This mix of loyalty, rivalry, and hidden connections adds a layer of complexity to Dr. Grape’s already quirky demeanor.
