After the initial shock, the pair gradually get to know their classmates, and things seem to be going well - at least for a short time. However, it's not long before teachers and classmates alike are meeting violent ends. If neither the protagonist nor Grendel wants to become another casualty, a way out of their predicament is needed. [From [Itch.io](https://triority.itch.io/wtc-relentless-protagonist-sxs)] ## Characters ### Protagonist The protagonist is a former software developer at an ailing games company. After his/her home town suffers a devastating terrorist attack, he/she is more or less blackmailed into joining The Phoenix Custodians, under the guise of being patriotic. Until other members of the Custodians, she/he cares deeply about the welfare of any opponents captures, and will often try to befriend them in order to gain any useful information. This doesn't endear him/her to almost everyone else, who regard the protagonist as an overbearing sanctimonious annoying do-gooder. This trait was evident during training and caused him/her to be assigned the mission to stop Grendel and tower, as it was deemed a suicide mission for the protagonist. The protagonist signed Grendel's "Friendship Agreement" more out of pity than anything else, and he/she realised that Grendel is lonely and doesn't have anyone to look up to. Unfortunately, not paying that much attention of what was written would soon be his/her downfall, as Grendel immediately latches onto her new "Best Friend". The protagonist is hoping (somewhat naively) to be able to get Grendel to see reason and leave The Council before she gets too deep into the organisation and ruins her life. Unlike Grendel, he/she realises how much danger she could face in her missions. The protagonist's problems don’t end with Grendel, her mother or The Unseen in general. His/her organisation "The Phoenix Custodians" is another source of trouble as he/she has to deal with fellow agents who would have no compulsion about killing Unseen people on sight; keeping his/her friendship with Grendel a secret and a boss who is indifferent to him/her and is either constantly sexually harassing her (or practically ignoring him). Add to the mix an inquisitive personal assistant with her own agena for the protagonist, and controlling parents, the protagonist's life is practically not his/her own. Continually fails his/her "Interrogation Exam", which is designed to gauge how ruthlessly an agent can be during interrogations. - **Gender:** Female - **Alias:** Footsie McFootstool - **Role:** Spy, Office Worker - **Engages in:** Unarmed Fighting, Mass Murder - **Subject of:** Sexual Harassment ### Protagonist The protagonist is a former software developer at an ailing games company.

Add to the mix an inquisitive personal assistant with her own agena for the protagonist, and controlling parents, the protagonist's life is practically not his/her own. Continually fails his/her "Interrogation Exam", which is designed to gauge how ruthlessly an agent can be during interrogations. - **Gender:** Male - **Alias:** Footsie McFootstool - **Role:** Spy, Office Worker - **Engages in:** Unarmed Fighting, Mass Murder ### Grendel Jinx Grendel Jinx was bought up in a family who believed the strong should rule over the weak. Embracing this creed early on in her life, and destined to become second in command of The Council Of The Unseen, she was destined for greatness, ruling the world with an iron fist and mercilessly crushing any dissent. At least that's what her parents expected. Unfortunately, reality is rather different. Whilst Grendel is megalomaniacal, her ideas for world domination are inept at best and at worst would cost her her life. Realising this, she aims to get the protagonist to join her, and together they would rule over everyone. Unfortunately for her, the protagonist isn't interested in anything like that. Grendel is a chronic kleptomaniac, with the protagonist a constant target. The protagonist, having signed (having not reading it properly) an extremely one-side "Friendship Agreement", Grendel regards anything and everything the protagonist owns as her own- including all money and cars. Grendel can be extremely clever and manipulative when needed. She can speak multiple languages (Japanese being one as that she can watch her favourite anime as it's meant to be - without subtitles), and is an expert in most of hand-to-hand combat as well trained in driving or flying most vehicles She expects to be constantly looked after by the protagonist, no matter the time of day. Grendel does like the protagonist and will stop at nothing to force him/her to join The Unseen - even if it means putting the protagonist's life in danger. She has no problem with blackmailing all and sundry (again, the protagonist being a frequent target), having learnt the art from her mother. Whilst Grendel is extremely wealthy (she has financial interests in both legal and illegal entities), she is also prone to falling for financial scams. Although she has a $1 million weekly allowance; personal chef and a whole slew of assistants, the protagonist surmises that she is extremely lonely. Hated both internally and externally due to her general attitude, ineptitude and position, she has few friends, and despite being class representative, she is generally scorned and bullied. Her father, takes little interest in helping her, believing it will toughen her up. She is afraid of aliens taking over the world before she does. This came about from watching an age-inappropriate late-night sci-fi horror film. Grendel's favourite TV program is the ultra-violent anime "Dr Not-Nice Against The World", and believes it is the best program ever made. Regularly watches marathon showings of it. - **Gender:** Female - **Hair:** Pink, Twin Tails, Waist Length+, Blunt Bangs - **Body:** Slim, Pale, Kid - **Personality:** Lazy, Mischievous - **Engages in:** Planning, Unarmed Fighting, Theft - **Role:** Wealthy - **Eyes:** Pink, Tareme ### Grendel's Mother A former cat burglar, Abigail met her future husband when she got stuck on a window sill whilst trying to escape his home. Abigail has no doubts about Grendel's choice of friend/partner/footstool and actively works to bring the two together, which often causes the protagonist no end of problems. She also has another reason for trying to get the protagonist to join The Council : Abigail has a nagging feeling that the current timeline is wrong, and that the protagonist has been working for her at some point. Whilst she likes protagonist (and has no problem showing it), she also has very willing to blackmail the him/her or use him/her as a guinea pig for any drugs that need testing. As the latter usually causes problems, she is, unlike Grendel, quite willing to compensate the protagonist for the trouble caused. The relationship between Abigail and the protagonist can be rather testy, but Abigail just shrugs it off, as she knows how much trouble Grendel and herself can cause. She is more than willing to go behind her husband's back in order make Grendel happy. This usually involves planning a secret birthday or Christmas event - often with the protagonist's help. Like her husband, she is often away for long periods of time on various missions and such, and usually asks the protagonist to look after Grendel. This is also done to try and get them together - professionally at least, although Abigail certainly wouldn't mind if things went further. - **Gender:** Female - **Aliases:** Abigail Herrera, Mom, Mum - **Hair:** Pink, Waist Length+, Curtained - **Body:** Slim, Pale, Young-adult, Big Breasts - **Eyes:** Blue - **Clothes:** Dress, Gloves, Half-Skirt, Thigh-high Stockings, High Heeled Shoes - **Role:** Mother, Wealthy - **Personality:** Smart, Sly - **Subject of:** Homicide - **Engages in:** Manipulation ### Myrtle Believes in The Phoenix Custodian's mission as much as the protagonist. Unfortunately, she is accident-prone, which has kept her away from any meaningful missions... The protagonist is probably Myrtle's only real friend - **Gender:** Female - **Personality:** Clumsy - **Subject of:** Being Drugged, Memory Alteration ### Protagonist's Father Five times Funopoly World Champion, and wishes the protagonist would take up playing the game more professionally. He and his wife are extremely rich due to Championship winnings. However, despite that they living in a bungalow somewhere in America. During the events of Relentless Protagonist, Abigail, after losing to him, proposes that both he and his wife join The Council Of The Unseen, to which they eagerly agree - **Gender:** Male - **Role:** Father, Parent ### Protagonist's Mother The protagonist's mother. Well meaning, but interfering. She wants the protagonist to settle down, get married and have children. Doesn't believe that secret organisations are wanting to take over the world - nor that the protagonist is part of an organisation trying to stop that from happening. As such, she still firmly believes that the protagonist is still at his old firm, but is too ashamed to admit it. Well known on the professional "Funopoly" gaming circuit along with her husband. - **Gender:** Female - **Hair:** White, Bun - **Body:** Old, Wrinkles - **Role:** Mother, Parent ### The Boss Current head of "The Phoenix Custodians", and uses his position to cause problems for female staff. Wants to personally interrogate Grendel and Katherine - **Gender:** Male - **Personality:** Pervert - **Subject of:** Homicide ### Lorinda Ella Lorinda Ella is the protagonist’s secretary as well as main interrogator, a job she relishes with sadistic glee, much to the protagonist’s annoyance, and who views all enemies as nothing but filth to be disposed of as quickly as possible, This attitude means that Lorinda and the protagonist are frequently arguing over her actions, which frequently frustrates Lorinda, as it means it means time wasting, when she could be beating a prisoner to within an inch of his/her life. Lorinda generally sees the protagonist as nothing more than an inept do-gooder, and was disappointed to be teamed up with such a person. Her dislike for the protagonist extends to a controlling behaviour in the guise of “personal safety” - preventing the protagonist from going to certain locations or meeting people. She also tries to kill the protagonist by sending him/her off on a mission whilst withholding or ignoring information (as with Relentless Protagonist). Whilst the protagonist can reprimand Lorinda for any misdeeds, that’s all that can be done. Lorinda is regarded as indispensable, whilst the protagonist isn’t - a point that Lorinda likes to crow about whenever she can. Lorinda only joined The Phoenix Custodians (and only then by illicit means) in order to seek revenge again The Council for the murder of her father during a teen skiing holiday. She had hoped to find a boss sympathetic to her ideals, but unfortunately, ended up working for the protagonist. Over time she is slowly and quietly gathering information that proves that the protagonist is at worst working for The Council Of The Unseen or at best, colluding with them - **Gender:** Female - **Hair:** Blond, Long - **Eyes:** Green - **Personality:** Yandere - **Subject of:** Blackmail - **Engages in:** Murder, Assault - **Role:** Secretary ## Shops - [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1385500/) - [Itch](https://triority.itch.io/wtc-relentless-protagonist-sxs) - [DLsite](https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ422721.html) ## Releases ### English - **2022-01-20**: WTC : Relentless Protagonist (Demo) - [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1385500/), [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/app/1385500/info/), [Itch.io](https://triority.itch.io/wtc-relentless-protagonist-sxs) - **2022-09-28**: WTC : Relentless Protagonist - [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1385500/), [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/app/1385500/info/), [DLsite](https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ422721.html), [Itch.io](https://triority.itch.io/wtc-relentless-protagonist-sxs) ## Tags ADV, School, Comedy, Drama, Murder Mystery, Suicide, Thriller, Spy Protagonist, Modern Day United States of America, Avoidable Death of Protagonist (obsolete) ## More Games from Triority Interactive Novels - [Welcome To...
