Wizardy Herbert

Wizardy Herbert is the name of a wizard-based story written by Roxy Lalonde some years before she began playing Sburb. It was likely inspired by her Mom's bestselling Complacency of the Learned series, which Roxy is a fan of.

Wizardy Herbert
The protagonist, a cynical and rather irresponsible person. He has been shown to solve his problems by shooting them with his Beretta, even when he had previously admitted this wasn't the best idea. It is implied that he and Beatrix spent some time 'outside' their story, and that their time away from the book's influence has made them both rather genre savvy. The book appears to be trying to build romantic tension between him and Beatrix.

Beatrix
Herbert's accomplice and the voice of reason to him. Known to be good pals with Russet. She constantly reminds Herbert that it was his HS 7477 (own rule) to "". The book appears to be trying to build romantic tension between her and Herbert.

Russet
A friend of Beatrix's. The book appears to be forcing him into both a heroic role, although it is unclear how much of this falls within his actual personality. He is, however, shown to be loyal to his teammates.

Grant Anonama / Slinus Marlevort
While outside of the book Herbert became friends with Grant, later inside the book he meets Slinus who is the leader of Serpenook and bares a great resemblance to Grant but is dismissed as essentially "a soulless mannequin dreamt up to recite insipid horseshit". It is later revealed that Grant and Slinus were the same individual as Slinus had also escaped the book and taken the name Grant while in the real world. Despite the villainous nature of his character, he remains quite polite, and called off his team from attacking Russet. His fake name, Grant Anonama, is an anagram for "not an anagram" - which Beatrix realizes HS 7478 (after speculating it to be an anagram).
