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.
Sergeant Cobalt
Police Officer, Gothic City P.D.
It's surprising how an officer so riddled with self-doubt and humility could end up on the police force. Sergeant Cobalt never actually wanted to be a cop—this career path was forced by a strict and overbearing father who believed law enforcement was the only respectable option. Deep down, Sergeant Cobalt longed for a profession centered on kindness and nurturing, far removed from the high-stakes pressures and confrontations of policing. There was once a career that filled childhood aspirations, but the dream was dismissed so harshly that it’s never spoken of now.
Despite being profoundly kind-hearted, Sergeant Cobalt battles with self-esteem that seems to hover near absolute zero. This inner turmoil is quietly evident, as colleagues have noted Sergeant Cobalt exploring job opportunities in Gothic City throughout the past year. This pattern of behavior suggests a deep-seated uncertainty about a future in law enforcement and a longing to find a path more in tune with personal fulfillment and values.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Police uniform. Toy (fake) gun as a prop.
​
Ms. Orange
Teacher
Ms. Orange is a no-nonsense school teacher at Gothic City Elementary School, known for her strict curriculum and unwavering discipline in her kindergarten classroom. Nonsense is never tolerated—whether it’s from her students, colleagues, or anyone else who crosses her path.
Whispers around town suggest that Ms. Orange has been carrying grudges since high school, which might explain her stern and inflexible demeanor. Interestingly, Ms. Orange and Dr. Doom were once great friends during their school days, but something happened back then that fractured their bond. What that drama entailed remains a mystery, but many believe it left Ms. Orange with her sharp edges and a long memory for perceived betrayals. Some wonder if the shadows of that past drama might still linger, especially with Dr. Doom back in the picture. What secrets does Ms. Orange hide behind her icy exterior? Only she knows, and she isn’t telling.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Long conservative dress or a traditional teacher costume. An apple and a ruler as optional props.
​
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.
​
Sensei Silver
Ninja for Hire
Sensei Silver is a mysterious ninja for hire, known only for taking on any job that requires stealth, precision, or ninja expertise. The townsfolk are both fascinated and unsettled by Sensei’s presence, with some eagerly hounding the ninja for details about a seemingly shadowy past, while others beg to be trained in the art of ninjutsu. A handful of more paranoid residents view Sensei Silver as a potential threat, whispering fears about what the ninja might be planning.
It’s no secret that Sensei Silver is not from Gothic City and was never invited to Dr. Doom’s dinner party. Rumors are already swirling after the ninja was spotted staking out Doom Mansion on multiple occasions. The purpose of this surveillance remains unclear, leaving the town to wonder whether Sensei Silver is here to protect, infiltrate, or perhaps retrieve something of value from Dr. Doom’s estate. If Sensei Silver shows up at the party, nobody knows what Dr. Doom will do. But honestly, would you say no to a ninja?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Ninja costume.
​
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.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered purple suit, glasses, and a small chalkboard and chalk as optional props. (Click for women's and click for men's.) Or lab coat. Hair should be unkempt.

Miss Patricia Peach
Miss Rodeo America
Miss Peach has been the reigning Miss Rodeo America for two years running, dazzling fans with her beauty, brains, and unbeatable roping skills. Known as the lasso legend of the circuit, she once roped a runaway bull while sipping sweet tea and cracking a cowboy joke—because why not?
This rodeo queen isn’t just talented in the arena; she’s the life of every afterparty, armed with a tiara that sparkles almost as much as her quick wit. Miss Peach is famous for her outrageous sense of humor, spewing jokes and puns that leave everyone in stitches. Whether she’s riding into town with a lasso in one hand and a rubber chicken in the other or just lighting up the room with her laugh-out-loud antics, Miss Peach proves she’s more than just a queen—she’s a full-blown rodeo icon!
Miss Peach recently faced heartbreak at the Abby Farm Animal Auction, a place where she’s usually the undisputed queen of bids. She had her heart set on a sweet Shetland pony she’d already named, fully prepared to bring him home to her ranch. But to her shock, she was outbid by a mysterious attendee—someone who never even comes to animal auctions! It was the first time Miss Peach had ever been outbid, and it left her devastated. She hasn’t stopped wondering why someone with no history in auctions would swoop in and snatch up the pony she wanted so badly.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A western costume. A lasso as an optional prop.
Dr. Golden
Chemist
Dr. Gloria Golden is one of the most brilliant forensic chemists in the nation and the younger sister of Jade. Known for her friendly nature and her tendency to talk a bit too much, she spends most of her time in the lab, where her talents shine brightest.
Dr. Golden played a pivotal role in helping Jade launch the now-famous Grow Your Hair Like a Chia Pet company by agreeing to formulate the miracle hair tonic that skyrocketed the business to success. While Jade had full control over the tonic’s production and marketing, Dr. Golden wasn’t originally meant to receive any public credit for her involvement. However, in the very first infomercial, her photo and accolades were prominently displayed, giving the impression that she was the mastermind behind the product.
The relatively new company has flourished recently, becoming a sensation. With success like this, one might think Dr. Golden would be riding high on the wave of success, but she was only paid to formulate the tonic and owns no part of the company. Whispers suggest that her involvement might not have been as extensive as the marketing implies, leaving some to wonder if Dr. Golden was intentionally highlighted to boost credibility. Whether Dr. Golden will continue to support Jade’s endeavors or focus solely on her forensic work remains uncertain.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A lab coat or medical scrubs. Any fake science equipment (i.e., beakers, test tubes, pipettes) as optional props.
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.
​
Miss Burgundy
Hairstylist
Don’t even bother buying a hairstyle magazine because if you sit in Miss Burgundy’s styling chair, you’re getting the only cut and style she knows! Her signature look is twenty years outdated, and every client walks out of the salon looking exactly the same. But Miss Burgundy doesn’t care—she’s unapologetically stuck in her ways.
For a brief moment, the vintage trend worked in her favor, and clients embraced her old-school styles. But now that vintage is no longer cool, her once-loyal clients are fleeing for modern looks.
Miss Burgundy’s hairstyling career began with an overflowing appointment book and an impressive list of loyal clients. However, the cracks started to show, and her career is now spiraling out of control. Her outdated skills can be traced back to an antiquated beauty college that was on its last leg, staffed with elderly instructors who only taught the trends of yesteryear.
Adding to her troubles, whispers around town suggest that a prior client might be the real reason for her dwindling appointments. What happened between Miss Burgundy and that client remains a mystery, but whatever it was, it seems to have left a lasting mark on her reputation—and not the good kind.
