Cast
Jezz Band
Chuck
Rick
Jukes
Shadow
Gary
Marlowe
Marlowe
A leather-skinned bartender with a silver-streaked mohawk and a glass eye that seems to track things the other one doesn't. She's seen everything twice and pours whiskey like a last rite.
Nether Chuck
Nether Chuck
The demonic mirror-self of Chuck, Nether Chuck is a grinning, chaotic entity who revels in the destruction Chuck desperately tries to prevent. He wields twin sai with reckless confidence, dressed in a battered black longcoat, bucket hat, and fingerless gloves, crouching atop burning rooftops with a devil-may-care smirk. Equal parts seductive villain and dark comedy, he embodies every impulse Chuck suppresses.
Nether Gary
Nether Gary
The dark-realm doppelgänger of Gary, Nether Gary is a menacing mirror-self pulled from the demonic underworld — all the hustle and chaos of the original, but stripped of any restraint or conscience. He wields twin revolvers and wears a heavy black longcoat adorned with chains and skull hardware, standing against a hellscape backdrop swarming with shadow demons. Cold, calculated, and dripping with infernal swagger, he exists to drag the real Gary deeper into damnation.
Nether Jezz
Nether Jezz
The demonic alter-ego of Jezz Band, Nether Jezz is what emerges when the stoner drummer gets fully possessed — a ruthless, hyper-focused killing machine who trades the drumsticks for a chainsaw and a pistol. She cuts through hellspawn with terrifying efficiency, sunglasses on, leather vest tight, ripped jeans soaked in demon ichor against a backdrop of a burning city. Where regular Jezz is chill and scattered, Nether Jezz is coldly purposeful — same face, different soul.
Nether Jukes
Nether Jukes
The dark-mirror version of Jukes pulled from a demonic plane, Nether Jukes carries the same arcane expertise but stripped of restraint — she wields cursed potions and forbidden grimoires with cold, predatory confidence. Her torn black longcoat, pentagram accessories, and glowing occult flask signal a witch who has crossed every line her counterpart refuses to. She serves as a terrifying reflection of what Jukes could become if she surrendered fully to the darkness she studies.
Nether Rick
Nether Rick
The dark mirror of Rick summoned from a demonic plane, Nether Rick is a ruthless, battle-hardened version of the band's frontman who wields a spiked war axe and a skull-adorned revolver with cold, calculating menace. He shares Rick's reckless energy but none of his warmth, driven purely by destruction and domination. Clad in a long black coat, skull-print shirt, and heavy boots, he cuts an imposing silhouette against a hellfire skyline.
Nether Shadow
Nether Shadow
The dark mirror of Shadow himself — a supernatural doppelgänger forged in the netherworld who wields a massive scythe and carries explosives with cold, methodical menace. He dresses in a tattered black longcoat with a blindfold over one eye, standing atop a hellscape of ruined city wreckage while demonic faces leer from the crimson sky behind him. Equal parts hunter and executioner, Nether Shadow exists solely to drag his counterpart — and anyone unlucky enough to be nearby — back into the abyss.
Nether Vivian
Nether Vivian
A commanding demoness queen who rules her infernal domain with cold elegance and predatory grace, sipping wine among candles and caged shadows as if she owns every soul in the room. She wears a deep crimson gown slit to the thigh, draped in dark feathered furs, adorned with small curved horns and pointed ears that mark her as something far beyond human. Seductive and merciless, she is the dark-mirror temptress of the underworld — a supernatural sovereign who collects debts, desires, and the Dead Muse crew's worst impulses.
Nether Nicky
Nether Nicky
The demonic mirror-self of an unseen crew member named Nicky, Nether Nicky is a cunning, gleefully malevolent imp-like trickster who perches in hellish industrial wastelands clutching vials of toxic concoctions. Dressed in a sharp dark suit and top hat that barely contain his curling horns and clawed hands, he radiates the energy of a carnival barker from the underworld — always scheming, always grinning, always one poisonous deal ahead of everyone else.
Nether Brutus
Nether Brutus
A colossal demonic enforcer dragged from the deepest pits of the nether realm, Nether Brutus is all brute force and hellfire — a towering horned monstrosity clad in spiked leather harness and skull-buckled chains, wielding a massive hook like a wrecking ball. He serves as the muscle of the dark plane, smashing through anything the crew throws at him with mindless, terrifying efficiency. His scarred stone-grey hide and glowing red eyes make him unmistakably the most physically overwhelming threat the band has ever faced.
Nether Devil
Nether Devil
The sovereign of the infernal underworld and ultimate antagonist of Dead Muse, Nether Devil is a supremely confident, silver-tongued ruler who wears a crisp white suit and wields a skull-topped cane with aristocratic menace. His crimson skin, curved horns, pointed ears, and coiling tail mark him as unmistakably inhuman, yet his polished, debonair demeanor makes him all the more dangerous. He rules the nether realm with theatrical flair and delights in pulling strings from the shadows.
Nether Vex
Nether Vex
Mother Vex is the ancient, matriarchal dark-mirror of Vex — a towering sorceress draped in black robes adorned with golden pentagram chains, wielding an occult staff and channeling violet hellfire with a clawed hand. She commands absolute authority in the demonic plane, acting as a twisted maternal overlord whose power dwarfs even Vex's considerable influence. Her heavy eye makeup, horned crown, and cold, regal bearing make her as terrifying as she is mesmerizing.
Nether Broker
Nether Broker
A skeletal dealmaker of the underworld who towers over lesser demons in a long black trench coat and fedora, clipboard in one hand and smoldering cigar in the other — the ultimate supernatural middleman who enforces infernal contracts with cold, bureaucratic menace. He is the dark realm's answer to a corporate fixer: polished, patient, and utterly ruthless, brokering souls with the detached efficiency of a tax auditor. His hollow eye sockets betray nothing, but the red wax seal on every contract he carries means the deal is already done.
Story Teller
Story Teller
The narrator who describes the action or story gaps. He imitates the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock's style of humor.
Berry
Sith Lord
Sith Lord
Boss demon. Sin: Greed. Runs the autoshop (which is just a front for crimes.)
Nether Sith Lord
Mama Luo
Mama Luo
A no-nonsense restaurant owner who lets Dead Muse play in her dining room on slow nights because the summoned spirits boost her Yelp reviews. She charges the band in lo mein instead of cash and has an unsettling knack for knowing exactly which ghost is about to show up before the first chord is struck. Her kitchen is strictly off-limits, and anyone who crosses that threshold gets banned for life—living or dead.
Officer Dale Brunke
Officer Dale Brunke
A deeply bored small-town cop who keeps getting noise complaints about Dead Muse's séance shows but can never bring himself to shut them down because the spirits keep solving his cold cases. He oscillates between writing the band citations and desperately begging them to summon one more witness. He insists he doesn't believe in ghosts even as he takes their sworn statements.
