Unforgotten Realms (web series)

The animated series Unforgotten Realms presents a humorous take on the world of table-top gaming. It is the tale of two friends, Eluamous Nailo and Sir Schmoopy, who are presented with the quest to save Schmoopy's dying grandmother. These two characters are played by their "real-life" counterparts, Mike and Rob, respectively. It can be found featured on the Escapist Magazine website.

Major Characters

Sir Schmoopy (Rob)

The show's main protagonist. Rob, the human, plays Sir Schmoopy, the lovable dwarf of many classes. Originally starting as a lumberjack (much to Mike's chagrin), he instead was a sorceror after "the Greatest Sorceror ever: Abraham Lincoln." Later in the series, after losing his body multiple times, he instead took over the body of James, an assassin (Modled off Altar from Assasin's Creed), and currently uses that class. Schmoopy is never afraid to bend the rules to meet his goals.

Eluamos Nailo (Mike)

Rob's friend and companion of the adventure. Mike is the dungeon master for the game, however he has very little control as Rob and Timmy are usually interfering. Eluamos is a wizard in the first season, and usually bails the pair out of trouble. Despite his lack of a monocle, Eluamos is the more experienced, and his ambiguous sexuality is a constant butt of the jokes in the show. During Eluamos' areana fight with Elizebeth Tacklebird, Eluamos took the alias of Wigglytuff.

Roamin

An NPC in Eluamos' and Schmoopy's party. At first hired to track down Schmoopy for his crimes, he and Gary eventually joined the party. Often depicted as the mentally challenged of the group, despite being the highest level (Crime Solving Rank Eleven Paladin), he can have valuable insight from time to time and is a classic character. In the final episode of Season 2, he was turned into a statue for "many thousands of life times." Since then, throughout Season Three, it has been declared that "He's dead".

Gary

Gary is Roamin's companion. He is payed with blueberries to follow around Roamin singing a theme song for him. He is a druid as Mike and Rob could not decide on an appropriate class for him. Later in the series he takes over the form The Arbiter (from HaLo).

Jaque

Jaque is an axe enchanted by "Madame Powerful Enchantress of This Town" Schmoopy is supposed to deliver him to a gaurd however he ends up scaring away the gaurd by making it talk. It glows blue when enemies are near or as Jaque says "I glow when I'm horny." Later on Jaque gets the ability to mind control things.

Petey

Petey is an undead Dire rat who befriends Sir Schmoopy. Later in the show she is revealed to actually be female not male. Her most common attack in fighting is to poison the enemies. It's later revealed (Or earlier because of time travel) that Petey was an areana champion in her past life under the title of "Elizibeth Tacklebird"

Timmy

Rob's younger brother. He originally wants to join the party, but after Mike says that he is too young to play, he causes problems for the party under the alias "Timmy the Evil." One example of the trouble he causes is giving them a d20 with ones on every side.

MaelstroM

The main antagonist of the series. He usually speaks in rhyming couplets, however he will occasionally say lines such as "Oh [...]" that do not rhyme. In episode 29 Enter the Dragon Warrior, he completely drops the element of rhyming. At first he is thought to be a kobold, but in episode 12 (The first season's finally) Ursa Archadious Arch Duke of the High Bears hints that he is an ogre with this quote "You dare insult me tiny ogre... I will enjoy your swift death". As of the latested season, it is revealed the Timmy has transformed him into "Maelstrom0" who is much stronger. (all his stats had zeros added to the end)
