Yes, it's true-- all those times you fretted while zooming back and forth through all these many posts, vainly trying to find out who 'Archibald' is, have just become moot. Fresh off the presses, a new reference to accompany the Glossary of Terms, and all to help you navigate through the tangled mess of stories not-so-humbly called 'Perfect World'.

Perfect pain in the ass, more accurately. Re-reading one's own highly questionable trove is a bear. Afterwords there remains, however, a detailed list of every character found in every story. The update stamp is at the end of the post so you which stories have not yet been entered.

Both fictional characters and real people are listed by first name.
