While technically still human, they possess the appearance and certain traits of sharks. And the Fourth, like all before him, has learned that no matter how warm your smile, a mouthful of jagged teeth doesn\u2019t easily win you the affections of your fellow man. So why bother trying? Why not just shoot for their fear and subjugation instead?<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/typodermicfonts.com\/mail-ray-stuff\/\">Font: Mail Ray Stuff<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefourthcomic.com\/wp-content\/newuploads\/derk_ref.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefourthcomic.com\/wp-content\/newuploads\/derk_ref.png\" width=\"900\" height=\"802\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2559\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As Sk\u00e4rva\u2019s right-hand lackey, Derk is evil, but not in a bad way. In fact, he\u2019s a pretty great guy. Sharkman or not, he follows Sk\u00e4rva like a puppy and would defend him until the bitter end. He\u2019s good at carrying things, and pushing things, and also holds quite a few secrets. He likes reading and cooking when he&#8217;s not protecting his Boss or handling minion resources concerns at the castle.<br \/>\n<strong>Font: a custom font created by Courtney!

She has no idea where she came from, and she obviously never had a mother who warned her to stay away from strange shark people. Good thing she\u2019s a healer, and cute. Very cute. Sk\u00e4rva keeps her around because of the whole healing thing, and nothing else. He hates kids!

The gods really must be on his side, and that\u2019s enough to garner Sk\u00e4rva\u2019s hatred.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dafont.com\/123marker.font\">Font: 123 Marker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thefourthcomic.com\/wp-content\/newuploads\/Veronika_ref.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thefourthcomic.com\/wp-content\/newuploads\/Veronika_ref.png\" alt=\"veronika\" width=\"900\" height=\"802\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2580\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The princess of Idenau is all too savvy that her role in life is to be kidnapped again and again, until she is married off to some stuffy lord or, if she\u2019s \u201clucky,\u201d to a courageous and totally boring hero whose only topics of conversation are swords and steeds, and whose only goal for the future is to find another bottle.

Like the other household servants of Tiberius the First, she had to share in the family\u2019s curse to some extent, and that meant being rejected by the gods upon her untimely death and forced to wander the world of the living as a spirit.

He doesn\u2019t really take his job too seriously, but without his calm demeanor and people skills, his group would fall apart. Just don\u2019t try to force him to follow the dress code.

He is always happy that he can write to his mom about how much his supervisor Ecta really likes him and is really proud of him all the time. He also writes that his roommate Floyd is his best friend, and he isn&#8217;t wrong about that one.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lostcarpark.com\/fonts\/\">Font: Chubby Cheeks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thefourthcomic.com\/wp-content\/newuploads\/davis_ref.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thefourthcomic.com\/wp-content\/newuploads\/davis_ref.png\" alt=\"davis\" wwidth=\"900\" height=\"802\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2561\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The former doorman of the less-than-illustrious Temple of Terror, Davis was the first demon any interested investor or intruding hero would meet.
