Quest:Ruby Quest/Characters
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS.
A complete list of all the characters in Ruby Quest. They may appear furry, but it is uncertain whether this is just so Weaver can differentiate them from each other quickly, or as a tip off to their Animal Crossing namesakes. It is likely for both reasons.
Contrary to what some people may say, no one's age has ever been mentioned ever.
Also see: Ruby Quest Theories.
Ruby
Ruby is the main character of Ruby Quest. Obviously. Her thoughts consist of the scrambled suggestions of the /tg/ community, and as such, she is both incredibly brilliant and surprisingly stupid. She is handling most of the monstrous happenings rather well, and has been declared a badass as a result. However, her psyche is starting to be strained as the world around her gets stranger and stranger. Ruby is known for having a GIRLISH FIGURE, but is flat as a board. She also has a third eye.
Ruby is actually quite a good fighter, and uses a Hook like no one's business. We no longer possess the hook, but wish we did. We feel safer when Ruby is a capable Hooker. Ruby is also well versed with both scalpels and her bare hands, leading us to believe she had a much more eventful life than we would otherwise have guessed.
According to Filbert, we have died and returned to life, as have Stitches and Tom. Videos and notes we have found show that Ruby also used to be a psychopath, and may still be a psychopath. She murdered Stitches with a giant fan, WHY SO SERIOUS'd Red, and killed Tom while they were making out. She doesn't hesitate to punch a cripple with a prickly fist.
There is some controversy over whether or not Ruby is left-handed or ambidextrous. Most fights she uses her left, but she also punched Filbert with her right. However, this may have been because she wrapped the glove with her dominant left hand, and it was a right-handed glove. However, whether or not she is left handed only matters for the [shapeshifter theory,] and is otherwise mostly irrelevant.
Because she is effectively our character, Ruby has been described as the PC to Weaver's DM. This makes the game very engaging, and it has become quite popular as a result. The largest implication of this is that /tg/ is now a herbivorous bunny girl. No one has yet objected to this.
Ruby has over 9000 fanarts.

Tom
Tom is Ruby's only friend in this place. He is a gentleman, strong and silent, but more than willing to offer information and suggestions about things he knows. He was initially detached towards Ruby, but after the two have repeatedly saved each others' lives, it seems he has grown quite a liking towards her. Unfortunately, circumstances have put a bit of a gap between Tom and Ruby - a gap born of caution and fear.
He is well known for his MANLY PHYSIQUE, and is needed for most anything that requires strength to accomplish. Tom has a second pair of arms which may or may not be vestigial. He is missing his right eye, and we once poisoned him with fish. We brought him the antidote and apologized, but still almost killed the poor guy. (Not that he would have died anyway...)
Tom's relationship with Ruby is currently on very uneven ground. He clearly liked (liked?) her before we started learning about her past, but the more we find out about Ruby the less Tom knows what to think about her. He found a note he had left to himself, in his own handwriting, telling him not to trust Ruby, for one thing. For a much larger thing, he saw himself get murdered by Ruby in cold blood, while they were making out. Tom and Ruby won't be hugging again anytime soon.
It took Tom a while to calm down, but he seems to have come to terms that our current Ruby is not the same as back then, in many ways. At the moment, however, it is safe to say their trust in each other has been shattered, and will take a lot of work to rebuild.

Hound Zombie
The Hound Zombie is also referred to as the Hook Zombie, the Plant Zombie and Bellsprout, based on its form. This horrible creature came through a broken mirror, and was killed with the power of Ruby's mean left hook, the purple vat of acid, and an electrical panel. Cries of "HOLY SHIT ARE WE WINNING?" echoed throughout all off /tg/ that day. The end boss of Part 2.
Seeing as Hound was vaporized, it is very unlikely we will ever interact with her again. However, as time went on, we learned more information about her in our explorations. So far, the extent of this information is "Hound Zombie was a girl." Yeah. /tg/ will have to keep its eyes and ears open to find out more on this elusive character.

Red
Red is was a creepy motherfucker. He carries a cane with him, and is not too fond of personal questions. He was a former employee of the facility but was detained in locker #6. He is convinced that he is not trapped like the others, and that he is where he is entirely by his own choice. He has a very morbid sense of humor.
When we first met Red, he was veritably insane. He did not like answering questions, but was otherwise quite helpful. Well, I suppose Red also threatened to eat us. Repeatedly. And then laughed about it. After he helped us find Stitches behind the tarp, he vanished for a while.
When we next saw him, he was still as helpful as ever, but refused to show himself. Oh, and he smashed the camera monitors so we couldn't use them. And he had to floss his teeth with a shovel and leave behind a bomb for Ace, destroying two of the rooms that we probably needed to go through in order to progress through the story. Wutta dick.
Later evidence has found that he was a researcher for the Metal Glen, and he was the one who discovered/suggested the miracle treatment that's making everyone all mutanty. He apparently cared for his patients, and ended up killing Ruby after she murdered Stitches and WHY SO SERIOUS'd Red himself. She got better though, and judging by Red's smile, he got better too.

Stitches
Stitches is a creature that was once a bear, and when first encountered was a pile of horrible organs and a spine. Except for his face and his left arm, he was nothing but gelatinous blood. With the help of Tom, he was temporarily decapitated using the Z Hatch.
Stitches was later encountered nailed to the wall behind the blue tarp in the dummy room. He looked to have been haphazardly stitches back together, and it is here we gave him the nickname "Stitches." For some reason, it turns out that was his real name too. Weird. At this point, Stitches had no discernible animal features, and was still alive in spite of his appearance. After grabbing Ruby by the wrist and whispering her name, he sent her to a dream world, where impossible things may happen that the world has never seen before.
He disappeared but reappeared in part 5 when he met Ruby in a closet. He seemed confused and upset upon hearing Ruby's name, screeching "How do I know you?" before staring at his clawed hands and running off, afraid of hurting Ruby.

Ace
Ace is a bird who appears to work at the facility. For a time he was incorrectly referred to as "spade," due to the shirt he occasionally wears and how he signs his name. We have found many documents referencing him and/or added on to by him, but it appears Ace is not a medical professional, as none of the official notes have been signed by him. According to information gained from the various notes, Filbert, and Monitorhead, we can assume Ace was both janitor and security, but is now a vigilante, outside of anyone's control.
Ace is frightening at the level of Pyramid head. Phenomenally tough, he has survived a bomb's explosion, didn't flinch when stabbed in the leg with a crowbar, and walked away from a fatal stab wound to the gut. He is a hulking figure, and stronger than Ruby and Tom by far - when we attempted to escape through the narrow Z Hatch, he began to rip through the steel to chase us. The last time we ran into him, Ace chased us with a harpoon and by all appearances was trying to kill us. We haven't seen him since the fetus trap stabbed him.
Only Ace can open the door to Lab B, where Number 6 lives. If we want to continue, we'll need to hunt down Ace.
...Ruby and Tom are so fucked.

Monitor Face
Real name unknown. We have seen him a couple times on a monitor, and he has yet to tell us his name. He appears helpful, but seems to be very limited in what he can do for us. May be Dr. S.
Filbert
Signed as "F" on medical notes, Filbert is the head doctor of the facility. He claims to be the only one uninfected, but evidence to the contrary suggests otherwise... He seems to be delusional and/or paranoid. He is missing his right hand, and appears to be haggard and worn. He is actually willing to speak and knows important information, unlike most others we have met. However, he seems to be very selfish, and is looking out for himself first and foremost. His hand shows visible mutations after Ruby flees his room. Shortly after he appears on the intercom with mutations now visible in his face.

Dr. S
As yet unknown.
#6
Practically nothing is yet known about the mysterious subject 6, except that IT IS A SHAPESHIFTER AND KILLED TOM WHILE DISGUISED AS RUBY it is apparently very powerful and dangerous, and as such is shut to its own laboratory. Only Ace can ever visit it.
Emobird
A bird we keep finding curled up crying in the corner of the room. He is a god of darkness and destroyer of light, and is currently in the process of consuming Ruby's soul to tear out Tom's heartstrings. Using the Soul of Rabbit, Heartstrings of Cat, and already-acquired Ashes of Fox, he will make the best violin in the world. Using this device, Emobird intends to challenge the devil to a duel for his freedom. Should he win, Emobird will be free to walk among mortal men, and bring back the triumphant return of Electric Violins to popular media. Should he fail, all will be lost.
...Yeah, we really don't know anything about him.

The Dummy
The Dummy, is a leather bound scarecrow on a rotating pivot that stares at us no matter where we are. It is found in Ruby's Room, and the room was named the Dummy Room because of him. We have tried to open it repeatedly, but the leather of its skin is very hard. Its eyes glow red, and when poked, they made a squishing sound. Something is inside that dummy. As of Part 6, he is bloodied and missing from his frame.

Water Cooler
He is disappointed in us all. All evidence points to him being the BBEG.
