Chuck

The Scorch occurred ten years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, on August 25 at 2:35 PM. Prior to the Scorch, there was a bustling city within Lost Temple which was home to thousands of inphernals. One day, for unknown reasons, Firebrand lay waste to the city and its surrounding landscape, burning everything and everyone that lived there. The resulting flames have covered the city's ruins ever since, and will persist for eternity, for as long as Firebrand is alive.

After the Scorch, the surviving inphernals were left with little hope. Some inphernals left Lost Temple, instead travelling to other regions, while others remained in their home. Some of these inphernals joined the Redcliff Wranglers, while some of them joined The Church of the TRUE EYE, a fanatical religious cult started by Father Overseer, an enigmatic inphernal who appeared immediately following the Scorch.

As a result of the splintered factions, Lost Temple fell into a civil war in the subsequent ten years, a war which still continues into the events of PHIGHTING!. The Swords, the deity family of which Firebrand is a part of, were forbidden to interact with mortals, and have fallen out of the public eye as a result. Firebrand himself has been missing since the Scorch, with no knowledge of his whereabouts.

The Scorch is an event that took place in the Inpherno ten years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!.

It refers to an incident in where Firebrand decimated a Lost Temple city, killing a large amount of its population. This incident led to the region's civil war, the formation of The Church of the TRUE EYE and the Redcliff Wranglers, and Firebrand's eventual disappearance.

Since The Scorch, an incident in which Firebrand incinerated a Lost Temple city 10 years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, the Swords have been forbidden to interact with mortals. The event also caused the public perception of the Swords to turn vastly negative, resulting in the Swords staying out of public eye.

Inphernals are a race of humanoids who make up the majority of inhabitants in the Inpherno. They are characterized by having horns on their head and possessing the innate ability to wield a gear from birth.

Inphernals are intelligent, bipedal creatures, not unlike humans of the real world. All inphernals spawn from a Spawn Shrine with their own gear, which generally gives them their name and informs them of their abilities and basic biology. Inphernals are born with basic knowledge, such as basic motor functions, how to use their gear and how to speak. Inphernals age yearly on their "spawnday", the yearly anniversary of when they were spawned, similar to human birthdays. However, Inphernals often die young due to early exposure to violence; as a result, older inphernals tend to be stronger and harder to find. Unlike humans, they are completely hairless, except for those with animal gears, who can possess tails and other such features related to their respective gear. Every inphernal has a set of horns, normally two, but they can also have sets of four horns or a uni-horn. Inphernals can also have abnormal horn traits in the form of mutations, such as Firebrand, who has a single pronged horn that covers his eye, or Void Star, who has two large horns that cover both of her eyes and many smaller horns around her head

Inphernals do not have a biological sex or reproductive organs, and instead are born from a Spawnpoint. Normally, inphernals are born at random without parents from a respective Spawnpoint, but two inphernals can sacrifice part of their gear's power in order to produce a biological child. There is no particular rhyme or reason to what gear an inphernal is spawned with, even when spawned by their parents. However, it is rarer for an inphernal to spawn with a support-class gear, and even more uncommon for it to possess healing abilities. Only one of a specific gear can exist in the Inpherno at any one time, and once an inphernal dies, their gear beco

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.

Members:: Grappling Hook: He is the leader; he is likeable and charismatic, but serious and professional when it comes to his work. Beehive: She is distant and serious, professional although she is always there for others and is the closest to the leader. Caltrop: He's serious, he has a daughter and cares about her, he just does his job. Chuck. Tarantula: She is in charge of managing the stable animals and feeding the Oziphrages, She is sweet and kind, understanding but strong. TNT: Chaotic, destructive, but he understands his limits and never dares to challenge his superiors... he does his job well, but he's simply too energetic.

Chuck is the youngest of the Redcliff Wranglers, and is also the shortest.[3]

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.
