History Characters / DeadEstate

The EvilOverlord of the Exit Realm, having been discovered thanks to Cordelia's father meddling with inter-dimensional portals and the machinations of the Mors Mundi cult. She has now set her eyes on the human world and hopes to take it over with the aid of the portal that Cordelia's dad had opened. But first, it seems she has some ritualistic plans in mind for him...

* BadassCape: Sports a cape (or cape-like growth) made of eldritch flesh in her humanoid form.

* KickTheDog: If Cordelia enters her shop, she will ask her if her father's doing well before chuckling, knowing full well of Cordelia's Dad's fate at the hands of her master Diavola.

The mighty lord of the 3X1T Realm, having been discovered thanks to Cordelia's father meddling with inter-dimensional portals. She has now set her eyes on the human world and hopes to take it over with the aid of the portal that Cordelia's dad had opened. But first, it seems she has some ritualistic plans in mind for him...

* BishonenLine: An extremely powerful otherworldly demon-creature hell-bent on invading our world with her legions of monsters just so happens to look like a sexy humanoid woman with plenty of curves.

* EldritchAbomination: A fleshy horror who is the Ruler of the Exit Realm. Her [[spoiler:true form especially looks like a giant eyeball with a mouth partially fused to the platform you fight her on]].

* SkillGateCharacter: He's far more lethal if the player is really good at taking advantage of his combo-induced speed, which is not as easy for new players to get the hang of.

* DiscOneNuke: Mumba has the best stats out of any character at the start, and his Mumba Special is a lethal and consistent firearm with a faster attack speed then Jeff's handgun and only slightly less damage than Luis' magnum. The only thing holding him back is his extremely low health, which can be remedied at the guaranteed Doctor's Office on the Ground Floor. Now sufficiently beefed up, he's capable of obliterating the entire game with ease.

Unlocked by assembling the Coffin Key and bringing it to one of Axel's secret hideaways, or by beating ''Assignment Anya''. Axel was part of a film crew that made the fateful mistake of shooting a horror film at the Estate, with Axel being one of the lead actors. To his surprise, the zombies on set that day were not heavily made-up extras, but actual zombies! As they began tearing into his co-stars, Axel fled deeper into the Estate to hide. Many days later, he [[TookALevelInBadass emerged a hatchet-throwing, zombie-killing badass]]. Eventually Jeff and Jules find themselves in the Estate, and Axel follows them out of curiosity(and because [[TheDreaded Chunks]] was on his way).

* RememberTheNewGuy: There is ''no'' indication given in ''Dead Estate'' that Albert and Roselia have a second child, and Lambert appears in none of the family portraits which appear throughout the game. He doesn't even appear in Cordelia's flashbacks!

A long-dead EldritchAbomination which nearly succeeded in eating the planet. Cybil's cult wants to resurrect it, but without Diavola's help they only manage the botched attempt of the Nataleviathan, an Attic Sanctum boss in ''Dead Estate''.

!!Mors Mundi Pro Supremo Leviathan Cultists
[[folder:George V. Kostopoulos]]
The original founder of the Mors Mundi cult, George Kostopoulos was a man from the late 19th century who claimed to have seen visions from the Leviathan giving him instructions in remote areas in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Cybil is his descendant and the inheritor of his mantle as Mors Mundi cult leader.

* GreaterScopeVillain: He's largely the one who is responsible for the cultists who cavort through the Dead Estate, being the one who founded the Mors Mundi ApocalypseCult in the first place.

[[folder:Cybil, The Cult Leader (Spoilers)]]
[[WMG:'''Cybil V. Kostopoulos''']]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_0113.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:[[BuyOrGetLost "You'd better buy something]]."]]
The great-great-great-granddaughter of George V. Kostopoulos, the current head of the [[ApocalypseCult Mors Mundi Pro Supremo Leviathan cult]], and the one presently running the occult and scientific operations within the Estate in the twisted ways of the 3X1T Realm in an effort to further her goal of resurrecting the Leviathan. Cybil appears in rarely-spawning[[note]]except on the alternate floors, where one is guaranteed to appear[[/note]] Cultist Shops, which can be found in certain Secret Rooms. There she will sell four items which are randomly priced from $50 to $250, and are obfuscated so that the player can't tell what they're buying before they buy it. She also serves as one of the Laboratory's bosses in a last-ditch attempt to stop the player from reaching the EXIT portal and her ally [[EldritchAbomination Diavola]].

* BuyOrGetLost: She's borderline hostile to the player in her shop, which is justified, since she is one of the villains.
* ClothingDamage: Her already {{Stripperiffic}} outfit gets nigh-obliterated after her boss battle, showing off [[https://deadestate.wiki.gg/images/a/a0/CybilDefeated.png even more skin than before]].
* EvilCounterpart: A pretty clear one to Cordelia.
* DealWithTheDevil: ''Assignment Anya'' reveals that her and her cult's greater motivations mean that they are offering sacrifices to Diavola in exchange for her help resurrecting the Leviathan.
* InTheHood: Cybil's head is entirely obscured by her hooded cultist's cloak.
* KickTheDog: If Cordelia enters her shop, she will ask her if her father's doing well before chuckling, knowing full well of Cordelia's Dad's fate at the hands of her master Diavola.
* NavelWindow: Cybil sports one of these.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: It's clear from the fact that she is willing to give you upgrades in exchange for money despite the fact that she now has an easy way of killing you at your weakest as well as how she runs away when defeated that she cares more about how much wealth and power she can get from being a cult leader than to actually following through with Diavola's plan.
* PunchClockVillain: She's willing to sell items to the player in secret rooms, albeit while obscuring what they are so they player doesn't know what they're buying, and sounds rather apathetic while doing so.
-->'''Cybil:''' Kill you later.
* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: She has no discernible facial features except for a single glowing eye, which are shrouded underneath her hood. Defeating her [[TheUnmasking reveals her to be quite attractive]], with a brown-haired mullet and [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow irises]].
* SmugSnake: Despite being an apathetic and snarky cult leader, her ego(and the rest of her body) gets mightily bruised after you defeat her, and she's clearly fuming about it if you encounter her afterward.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Even more so than Cordelia, with a NavelWindow that [[NavelDeepNeckline almost goes up to her neck]] and shows off most of her stomach.
* VillainExitStageLeft: Instead of fighting to the death like every other boss, she simply flips you off and teleports away when she feels it has become more trouble than it was all worth.
* WarmupBoss: As she possesses many of Diavola's abilities, but of a weaker variety, she gives you a good clue of what you are up against when facing the real boss.
* WeWillMeetAgain: If you meet her in a cultist shop during a looped run after having defeated her, she promises that she will kill you in the next battle. But she also states that you should be thankful for how she is forgiving enough to sell you more items.

[[folder:Albert, The Scientist]]

[[caption-width-right:552:Albert [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable restrained by Diavola in the Sacrificial Grounds]]]]
The father of Cordelia and the owner of the Estate. Having spent much of his life on the scientific progress of interdimensional travel, it seems as if his latest discovery must have crossed a few lines too many...
----

[[folder:Chunks, Rambunctious Rodent]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_05_28_at_22_20_46_chunkspng_png_image_512_256_pixels.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:START RUNNING...[[note]]If you want to live.[[/note]]]]

A horrific result of a lab rat being experimented upon, turning him into a nearly unkillable monstrosity, he will hunt down any outsider who steps into the Estate.

[[folder:Filia and Faith, Cursed Demoness and Blessed Angel]]
Thanks to Dad messing about with interdimensional portals, he has not only found a way into the 3X1T Realm, but he has also accidentally caused gateways within The Estate to open up into Hell and Heaven itself! This has given Filia, owner of Hellmart, a brand new source of customers to make her unholy offerings to. Thankfully, this customer base is also accessible to Faith, owner of Heavenmart, who is willing to undo the damage caused by these devilish deals, even if just for a few minutes.

* DealWithTheDevil: Filia demands Chunks Medallions in exchange for Curses, unique buffs that can be toggled on and off.
* HotAsHell: Thought the devs were about to pass up on the chance of making another alluring lady for the cast of characters? Think again.
* GuardianAngel: Faith is not only willing to offer strong items in exchange for Chunks Medallions, but she is also willing to remove the negative effects of your curses for a few minutes.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent[=/=]OurDemonsAreDifferent: Apparently in the world of ''Dead Estate'', angels and demons are large-breasted women who [[FriendlyShopkeeper run extraplanar convenience stores]].
* PowerAtAPrice: Filia's curses grants the player a powerful buff, but gives them an equally powerful debuff in return.

[[folder:Diavola, Mother of All (Spoilers)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_02_25_at_12_57_40_showcase_dead_estate.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[TrueFinalBoss Get ready]].]]
The mighty lord of the 3X1T Realm, having been discovered thanks to Cordelia's father meddling with inter-dimensional portals. She has now set her eyes on the human world and hopes to take it over with the aid of the portal that Cordelia's dad had opened. But first, it seems she has some ritualistic plans in mind for him...

[[folder:Lambert, The Brother]]
Albert and Roselia's second child, and Cordelia's missing younger brother. During the events of both ''Assignment Anya'' and ''Dead Estate'' proper, he is attending college in Europe, conveniently avoiding the plight his family's house finds itself in.

* ChildProdigy: Cordelia mentions that he is attending university at just 16, meaning [[LikeFatherLikeSon he's likely following in the footsteps of his father Albert as a scientific genius]].
* NoodleIncident: Roselia's note requests that Cordelia not let Lambert into Albert's laboratory again, for an unknown reason.
* TheGhost: The only mention of him is in logs scattered around the Estate, and he otherwise does not appear.
* RememberTheNewGuy: There is ''no'' indication given in ''Dead Estate'' that Albert and Roselia have a second child, and Lambert appears in none of the family portraits which appear throughout the game. He doesn't even appear in Cordelia's flashbacks!

[[folder:The Cordelia Mimic]]
A monster pretending to be Cordelia, it attacks Anya in Cordelia's room and chases her until she finds a safe room. It reappears to inadvertently rescue Anya from Chunks at the end of ''Assignment Anya''.

* GlamourFailure: At first the monster is a dead ringer for Cordelia, even playing her signature {{Leitmotif}} "Sex Sells". after a few seconds, though, its disguise dissipates and it attacks Anya.
* VaginaDentata: It's a essentially one big v-shaped mouth with a Cordelia-shaped lure on its back.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: It only appears in two scenes (one of which is an extended chase scene), but it's responsible for why Chunks [[AnArmAndALeg only has one arm]] in the main game.

[[folder:The Leviathan]]
A long-dead EldritchAbomination which nearly succeeded in eating the planet. Cybil's cult wants to resurrect it, but without Diavola's help they only manage the botched attempt of the Nataleviathan, an Attic Sanctum boss in ''Dead Estate''.
----
* EldritchAbomination: Judging from the appearance of the Nataleviathan, it's some kind of unbelievably colossal planet-eating space demon shrimp.
* GreaterScopeVillain: From the way Cybil describes it, Diavola is ''peanuts'' compared to the danger the Leviathan would pose to the world were it revived from death.
* PlanetEater: Is described as a devourer of planets.
* RedBaron: "The Devourer King".
[[/folder]]

* MightyGlacier: She starts with eight HP and has very powerful fist attacks (especially in the early game) but she has rather slow starting movement and her fists slow her down even more while she's punching.

* CloseRangeCombatant: She relies only on fist-based weapons, meaning that she has to get up close to do damage.

!!Mors Mundi Pro Supremo Leviathan Members

Unlocked by finding the strange vat in the Laboratory. Once a hero in his own world, he was teleported away by an evil witch after rescuing his human lovers. Ending up in this world instead, he was nursed back to health by Cordelia's father who wished to conduct further research upon him. Now released from his healing tank after everything went to hell, he aids the rest of the crew in order to take down the evils of the Estate.

* RefugeeFromTVLand: Mumba's backstory involves him somehow getting transported out of [[VideoGame/UgbyMumba3 his own game]] and abducted and experimented on by [[spoiler:Cordelia's Father]].

!!Mors Mundi Pro Supremo Leviathan members

** ''Assignment anya'' reveals he collaborated with the mors Mundi cult, but the extent to which he knew what they had planned for both him and the world is unknown, and it seems like [[UnwittingPawn they were merely using him for their own game]].
