Guest List

 

AMELIA CRANX
Mathematics Professor
Amelia Cranx, the sharp-tongued mathematician of Gothica University, calculates faster than most can blink—and gossips even faster. Recently dubbed The Gossip of Gothica, Amelia makes others uneasy with unpredictable mood swings and a reputation for spilling secrets. Somehow, she always secures a golden ticket to every exclusive event, including the coveted Pompey Palace Roman Toga Bash.

Amelia’s luck hasn’t been great — last week’s hailstorm left her property looking like a battlefield. But she’s not letting a little chaos keep her down! She’s dusted herself off, grabbed her toga, and scored a ticket to the bash.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Classic Roman toga with nerdy accessories. Hair styled in a nerdy fashion—think sleek pigtails or precision braids. White socks, dark shoes, and an optional calculator complete the look.

 

OMARI SHADY
Artist
Omari Shady, the wildly creative artist of Gothic City, paints brilliance into chaos. This paintbrush-wielding diva obsesses over every tiny detail and demands perfection, which might explain why Omari’s masterpieces adorn walls across the city. Inspiration may come in storms, but the results are pure artistry.

With a new art museum opening in Gothica City, Omari’s clients are growing anxious — what if their favorite artist trades the studio for a corner office? Omari’s creations have become the heartbeat of the city’s art scene, and no one wants to imagine Gothica City without them.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Trendy Roman toga made of bold fabric. Hair should be eclectic and delightfully messy. Optional props: colorful markers and a sketchpad.

Many of your sculptures that you've created are pictured below - keep scrolling! 

 

BLUSH FRENZ
Cosmetologist
Blush Frenz, the notoriously rude cosmetologist from the Pompey Palace Hair Salon, never misses an opportunity to insult, interrupt, or intrude. Known as a habitual party crasher, Blush Frenz has once again managed to snag a ticket to the Pompey Palace Roman Toga Bash—to everyone’s dismay.

Rumor has it Blush is on the hunt for a new job — not just another salon gig, but a whole new career altogether. What kind of cosmetologist would toss the curling iron aside and trade in the hair bleach for something completely different?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with elaborate hair and dramatic makeup. Optional props include a makeup kit, brushes, and combs.

 

PIZZY TANKUS
Guitarist, Vocalist - Armpit Anguish
Pizzy Tankus, the antisocial guitarist and lead vocalist of the band Armpit Anguish, channels rage into rhythm. Anger issues and biting judgment make every rehearsal a ticking time bomb. Add in an extreme fear of germs, and personal space becomes a strict, unbreakable rule.

Pizzy founded the band by posting ads in the local paper, but what formed was less a harmonious group and more a collective united by one thing — a growing dislike for Pizzy. Unfortunately for everyone involved, vocalists, bassists, drummers, and rhythm guitarists are scarce in Gothica City, so the tension will have to simmer. With a touch of viral fame from social media and local gigs, the band is now gearing up for its first world tour — whether they like each other or not.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga paired with wild Glam Rock hair, accessories, and bold makeup. A guitar (real or fake) makes a great prop—along with a bottle of hand sanitizer, of course.

Your band's last two releases are below - keep scrolling!  If you're up to it - make a music video on social media and include #ArmpitAnguish #MyMysteryParty.  Please, no spoilers of the mystery party, though! 

 

DR. FUREN FEATHERS
Veterinarian
Furen Feathers, the self-proclaimed expert on everything, never misses a chance to “one-up” a story. Whatever you’ve done, Furen has already done it better, louder, and thrice over. As the newest arrival to Gothica City, few truly know the real Dr. Furen Feathers—and perhaps that’s intentional.

Dr. Feathers wasted no time establishing a sleek, modern veterinary clinic right in the heart of town. With the longtime local vet retiring after fifty years of service to Gothica City’s animals, Dr. Feathers quickly found the clinic bustling with a steady stream of finned, feathered, and furry patients.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with optional stethoscope and latex exam gloves, lab coat. A subtle nod to “doctor knows best.”

 

GINGO CROWNLY
Dental Receptionist
Gingo Crownly, the peculiar receptionist of Gothica Dental, greets visitors with an eerie smile and a constant whistle. Conversations drift into awkward silence under Gingo’s unblinking stare. Since the dental office is the best one in town, every resident eventually faces this unnerving encounter.

Rumor has it that Gingo offers big discounts if you pay for your dental visit in cash. Many townsfolk of Gothica City are ditching their dental insurance. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga accented with a nametag reading Gothica Dental. Optional props: new toothbrushes, dental floss, or other dental tools.

 

BASE ZOLANDY
Model
Base Zolandy, the self-absorbed print model for Klein Calvin underwear, treats the world like a mirror. With a strange aversion to the color orange and a dream of conquering runway modeling, Base critiques every outfit within sight. Fashion advice, wanted or not, always follows.

Base dreams of making it to the Paris and New York fashion runways — where the avant-garde outfits look like Halloween costumes crafted by first graders with glitter glue, PVC pipes, and hope. Recently, Base launched social media accounts and is working hard to build an influencer persona, but maybe Base's personality isn't cut out for it?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Fashion-forward Roman toga. Designer shoes, flawless hair, and an air of runway confidence are essential.

 

JACKIE BEAN
Chief Financial Officer, Pompey Palace Resort
Jackie Bean, the conspiracy-minded Chief Financial Officer of the Pompey Palace Resort, balances ledgers and paranoia with equal skill. Friendly but fixated, Jackie often rants about secret government plots. Rumor has it that Jackie covers windows in foil—just in case.

 Some say Jackie even encrypts grocery lists, convinced the produce section is bugged. Despite the quirks, the numbers always add up—almost suspiciously well. Many people are starting to come around to believe that Jackie might just be right. 
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga paired with reading glasses. Optional props include a business ledger, calculator, and a piece of aluminum foil—just in case. Character role advice for men and women

 

BIFF ADKINS
Personal Trainer, Gothica Athletic Center
Biff Adkins, the muscle-bound trainer from Gothica Athletic Center, flexes both ego and strength in equal measure. Fresh out of high school and fond of Gingo Crownly’s company, Biff carries a notorious reputation as a former bully—and old habits die hard.

Biff's girlfriend recently dumped him after dating a few years. Those closest to Biff report that he had no idea the breakup was on the horizon and he's not doing well. Let's hope that his ex, who is on the list as a ticket holder, doesn't actually attend the toga party.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with athletic flair. Optional props include workout resistance bands and business cards for Gothica Athletic Training Center.

 

OZ MANSON
Escaped Inmate
Oz Manson, the unnervingly cheerful escapee from Gothica City Prison, hides a dark past behind a charming smile. Despite gothic fashion and a criminal record, Oz Manson remains one of the kindest souls in town—or so it seems.

Oz grew up in Gothica City and knows many of the locals, but had vanished for a long period of time, soon after graduating high school. Suddenly, Oz has shown back up in town and many have spotted their old pal around town, but nobody knows where Oz has been all these years. 
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga that looks shredded, worn, and a little grimy. Toy handcuffs on one wrist or fake shackles at the ankle make perfect props.

 

LIRON CORALS
Retired Fisherman, Owner of Gothica Marina
Liron Corals, the retired fisherman and proud owner of Gothica Marina, hoards wealth like treasure and privacy like gold. Charging outrageous docking fees, Liron keeps the town at arm’s length. Nobody has ever been invited inside the Corals Mansion on the hill, fueling endless speculation about what—or who—lurks within.

Scandal has been swirling around the marina lately, with several boat owners complaining to Liron about items mysteriously vanishing from their vessels. Liron, however, insists the marina’s security is airtight and maintains that anything missing must have disappeared after the boats left their slips. Still, whispers around the docks suggest something fishy is going on—and it’s not just the catch of the day.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with nautical charm. Optional props include a captain’s hat and harmless fishing lures.

 

ALAZNE ANTHONY
Gothica University Registrar
Alazne Anthony, the tyrannical Registrar of Gothica University, rules the admissions office with an iron pen. Once a feared high school bully, Alazne’s old habits persist in new forms—mostly involving rejection letters and bureaucratic power trips.

Nobody can figure out why Alazne has been rejecting top applicants while admitting students with suspiciously weak records — lackluster essays, low test scores, and questionable transcripts. Faculty and staff are baffled, and rumors are swirling. Is it corruption, a secret agenda, or just a bizarre new admissions experiment gone wrong?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with slightly over-the-top hair and makeup. Optional prop: university recruitment materials for Gothica University.

 

DAFINA ADEL
Social Media Consultant
Dafina Adel, the brilliant yet obsessive social media consultant, runs life like a carefully curated feed. Intelligent, loyal, and reliable, Dafina makes a devoted friend—as long as everything stays perfectly organized. A single unscheduled post or typo can send Dafina into a quiet spiral of panic. Color-coded calendars, filtered photos, and perfectly timed captions are nonnegotiable. Behind the flawless aesthetic, though, beats the heart of someone who just wants a little control in the chaos.

Dafina has a growing client list in Gothica City, so hopefully all of her clients can follow her instructions on how to become successful on their platforms. It would be a shame to have so many people flop in her hometown. It would certainly make it awkward waiting in line at the coffee shop. 
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga accessorized with a smartphone—preferably displaying social media apps.

 

OFFICER NELSON
Police Officer
Officer Nelson, the gruff enforcer of Gothica City, exudes intimidation at every turn. Despite a frosty personality and lack of charm, Officer Nelson remains one of the city’s most decorated officers. Whether through valor or sheer fear, everyone at the precinct follows every order without question.

However, few know that beneath the tough exterior lies a mischievous streak — the kind that swaps sugar for salt in the breakroom or replaces the chief’s coffee with decaf. The pranks are usually subtle, harmless, and always anonymous. Some whisper that Officer Nelson can keep a straight face through any interrogation - silly or serious.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga enhanced with a police hat and badge.  Get Gothica City P.D. gear to enhance your look. 

 

OFFICER NELSON’S COLLEAGUE
Police Officer
Officer Nelson is rarely seen without a troupe of fellow officers. The squad moves as one — polished badges, synchronized strides, and an unspoken agreement to take their coffee breaks very seriously.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional to wear a police hat and police badge on the toga. Get Gothica City P.D. gear to enhance your look. 

 

DRAGAN RUNAKO
Website Designer
Dragan Runako, the web designer of Gothica City, is both a genius and a narcissist in one impossible package. Brilliant designs and unbearable arrogance come standard in every project. Unfortunately, anyone needing a website must endure the ego that builds it.

Dragan firmly believes that no reflection could ever do justice to such perfection. Every mirror, camera lens, and glass surface becomes an opportunity for admiration. According to Dragan, the true masterpiece isn’t the website — it’s the creator.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with intricate hair and makeup. A handheld mirror makes the perfect accessory.

 

PAT COURIC
Reporter, CBC News
Pat Couric, the relentless investigative reporter for CBC News, always knows the headline before it happens. Driven, daring, and constantly trailed by a full camera crew, Pat Couric stops at nothing to get the scoop first—even if it means becoming part of the story.

CBC News isn't the primary news of Gothica City and is known more for puff pieces and boring, drawn out stories about the usual local events. Pat aspires to one day get hired at RBC News, but with a demo reel full of Ground Hog's Day shadow coverage and stories about how the pigeons are taking over Central Park - Pat doesn't stand a chance. 
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga fit for the press. Or, reporter costume. Optional props include a microphone and a notepad. Get CBC News gear to enhance your look. 

 

PAT COURIC'S CREW
CBC News
Pat is rarely seen without the production crew from CBC News. The crew feels frustrated, knowing everyone is stuck at CBC TV until Pat moves to the more well-respected news station in town, RBC TV. The group operates like family and has vowed to remain a functional unit.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional microphone and notepad as props.  Get CBC News gear to enhance your look.
