You will be able to introduce foreign characters, provided they do not take the place of the main characters mentioned in the texts and elsewhere, and they must meet the standards you have set for this world.

Creatures with horns and various hair patterns, and with these horns they can summon tools like their belongings, and thus their name is formed. If your belonging is an arrow, then your name will be important. They are born in two ways: by natural reproduction or by the slave, which is called the spawn. There, inphernals are deposited. The horns are colored, and as the inphernals develop, they change color and turn black or white. If the inphernals are removed, this is considered an essential part of their body, even if the horns break. If they don't reach the root, it's not a problem.

Oziphrages, also known as "burrowing vultures" or simply "vultures", are large carnivorous flying birds that are native to Lost Temple. They closely resemble bearded vultures of the real world, but are much larger in stature and easily tower over inphernals.

Denizens of Lost Temple, particularly the Redcliff Wranglers, keep oziphrages for their utility as transport and companionship. While they are docile to particular inphernals, such as Tarantula, they can be predatory and violent towards individuals less confident around carnivorous birds. Oziphrages prefer to eat inphernals, but will eat ambiguously sourced rotten flesh all the same.

Oziphrages predominately feature brown and orange plumage, with white faces, white primary feathers, and dark brown beaks, but can also come in other shades. Baby oziphrages are born without feathers, but grow into their plumage as juveniles. Young oziphrages look very similar to adults, but lack their distinctive "eyebrows"

The Church of the TRUE EYE
The Church of the TRUE EYE is a fanatical religious cult formed by Father Overseer after the Scorch. Members of the Church worship an unknown deity, and consider themselves a "Family". Almost all members of the Church wear a uniform comprised of mostly teal-colored formal attire, and participate in the ritualistic removal of one of their eyes. The Church contends for control of the Lost Temple Spawnpoint with the Redcliff Wranglers, and have a prominent role in in Death in the Family, where Medkit disappears after joining their ranks.
The members of this church are: Scythe—a former cowgirl who was Grappling Hook's ex-girlfriend and dumped you; Medkit—a doctor from another region, a serious and conservative personal healer; and The Broker—Grapbling Hook's partner in crime.

Lost Temple is a hot, dry desert that was once home to a bustling city full of thousands of inhabitants. Ten years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, this city was burnt to the ground in the Scorch, and the lasting effects thereof now serves to divide the remaining populace. Most inphernals that did not leave Lost Temple for other regions would end up joining either the Redcliff Wranglers or The Church of the TRUE EYE.

The temperatures of Lost Temple are unbearable to non-natives[1], and even those native to Lost Temple can find the environment unpleasant.[2] Fashion in Lost Temple can be varied, but ponchos, scarves, bandanas, and cowboy hats are common fixtures of an inphernal's wardrobe. Those who live out in the desert plains tend to live in tents and sleep on hammocks.l Notable characters that were spawned in Loss Temple

TNT is the most reckless member of the Redcliff Wranglers.[7]

TNT is stand-offish, being automatically suspicious of and eager to poke fun at outsiders. However, they are friendly and loud with people they know, such as the other Wranglers. They are good friends with Tarantula, due to them both having equally silly natures. They are so close that Tarantula is the only one that TNT allows nicknames from. TNT tends to speak informally, except when being sycophantic.[7]

TNT is a dark-skinned inphernal, with distinctive orange and black banded horns, which point upwards and end bluntly. Across the right side of his face he has a scar, which he earned from his reckless behaviour. TNT wears an ivory wide-brim cowboy hat, emboldened with a gold Lost Temple emblem on the front, complete with a brown hatband, and gold jewelry through the front and back of the brim. He wears a dark brown shirt with lighter brown slacks, and tall ivory cowboy boots, with gold trim and gold spurs. An ivory rope is tied around his waist, which hangs down to the floor, reminiscent of the fuse on a stick of TNT.

Lost Temple
Tarantula, better known as Tara by her groupmates, is one of the most friendly members of the Redcliff Wranglers.[5]

Tara is incredibly sociable with other inphernals. She can be a bit nervous around strangers but warms up to new friends easily, to the point of being overly trusting to inphernals she has just met. Her groupmates often have to remind her not to blindly trust others. She is very playful and doesn't take things too seriously, preferring to keep the mood light. She will happily ramble on and on if someone lets her. She is good friends with TNT, and is the only inphernal allowed to call him nicknames.[5] Tara is the tallest out of the Wranglers.[6]

Before the Scorch, she raised animals for a living. As a result, she is designated to look after the group's oziphrages. Her gear, which is a pet tarantula that she carries around on her hand, is named Chipper. She sometimes makes it little hats from scraps of fabric.[5]

Tara is a dark-skinned inphernal with two wide, orange conical horns that angle downwards; they're wide at the base and taper to a rounded point at the end, with 3 white stripes across the middle of them. She dons a brown cowboy hat, which she wears askew, with a dark brown hatband and a gold Lost Temple emblem on the front. She wears a light brown shirt with dark brown sleeves, and a dark red skirt which extends down to her feet. Her skirt has a slit up the left side, and is trimmed with gold. She wears a dark brown waistband, which her feather charm is attached to. She wears bandages down her arms and around her hands. She wears a distinctive gold and light gold poncho, which is reminiscent of a spider web with a geometric pattern and jagged hem.

Chuck is the youngest of the Redcliff Wranglers, and is also the shortest.[3] He is relatively wary of Sword, choosing to glare at him during the entirety of their ambush on him.

Chuck acts tough to over-compensate for his short stature, but despite this, he holds a large amount of respect for Grappling Hook and Beehive. He is an incredible sharpshooter, and can easily snipe a target, something he is known to do when the other Wranglers get on his nerves. Despite his apparent tough nature, he quietly returns the affection his groupmates give him. This is also seen in his relationship with his oziphrage, which he babies when nobody is looking.[3]

Chuck is a dark-skinned inphernal, with wide ivory horns which are reminiscent of a cow's, similar to Grappling Hook. Chuck wears a dark brown wide-brim cowboy hat, emboldened with a golden Lost Temple emblem on the front and golden trim. He adorns the ends of his horns with golden tips, and he wears his feather charm around his right horn. He wears a loose red pinstripe shirt and tan chaps with golden trim, complete with a wide brown belt. He wears light brown cowboy boots, as well as a long asymmetrical cloak, which is light brown with golden patterning. His cloak typically covers his lower face, obscuring his expression. He wears bandages down his forearms and across his hands.

Lost Temple
Caltrop, better known as Cal by his groupmates, is a studious and highly skilled member of the Redcliff Wranglers.[2]

Cal takes great pride in his gear, which are small caltrops that are small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. They are very sharp and could easily go through someone's shoe. He can throw his gear far, and has great aim. He is the type of inphernal to follow orders stringently and to take every job seriously, and gets frustrated when he is thrown off track. Despite how scrupulous he is with his work, Cal is very social and is amicable towards his friends and the other Wranglers. He loves outings with large groups, and is not afraid to make jabs at other inphernals. However, he does not blindly trust outsiders.[2]

Cal has a minor lisp, which he has fought to correct. He always keeps his sleeves rolled up, refusing to roll them down when told to. He is father to a currently unnamed inphernal who is part of the Wranglers, and he loves them dearly. His oziphrage is named Teddy.[2]

Cal is a medium-toned inphernal with four short, spikey gold horns, which jut out from the sides of his head. Cal wears a reddish brown cowboy hat, with a red hatband, and a gold Lost Temple emblem on the front. The left side of the brim of his hat is torn. He wears a dark red dress shirt, with lighter red trim, and a pinstripe pattern on the inner sleeves. He wears long, flared dark brown pants, which are split by jagged gold patterning, revealing a lighter brown pinstripe pattern down to the flare. He wears gold boots, and brown gloves. Slung over his left shoulder is a dark brown cloak, with gold trim and a gold underside, which is finished with tassles on the bottom hem. His feather charm is attached to the front of his cloak.

Beehive

Region

Beehive, better known as Bee by her groupmates, is a rather standoffish member of the Redcliff Wranglers.

Bee is the most irritable of the Wranglers, showing a clear distaste towards outsiders. She gets frustrated at the ignorance and naivety of Sword's lack of knowledge regarding The Church of the TRUE EYE, as well as holding the opinion that that the Church is full of "outlaws craving violence", contrary to Grappling Hook's more sympathetic view on the Church. She maintains a guard around her emotions, careful to not let any vulnerability slip. Despite her more aloof behavior, she displays a genuine care and want to protect the Redcliff Wranglers, such as utilizing her Spy Bee to bug Sword to assist the Wranglers in gathering information about the Church.

Her skin is medium-toned, and she wears a cowboy hat similar to the rest of the Redcliff Wranglers. The hat is dark brown with hexagon-shaped goggles wrapped around where the band would be. The lenses of these goggles are a honeyed yellow. Bee's horns are similar to the antennae of a honeybee. They appear with a deep brown that start on her forehead. The horns go up through the band of her hat before ending at blunt tips. Beehive uses her gear as both a storage pack and a habitat for her bees. The top compartment serves to store essential tools, such as wrenches and honey scoops. The bottom compartment is designed to house her colony of bees. There are two main types of bees. The first type is the normal bee, characterized by its round shape and distinct wings. The second type is the spy bee, which is notably smaller than the other bees.

The Redcliff Wranglers are a group of inphernals who live in Lost Temple. They appear in Act 1 of Death in the Family, where they ambush Sword on their territory. They are led by Grappling Hook, and are known for riding large flying birds, called oziphrages.
Cowboys living in tents rely on pottery that blends into the desert. They own large, circling falcons, not all of which are tame, but they have managed to raise some of them.
