[edit] Characters
[edit] Bob the Hamster
Bob is our protagonist. He is a freelance (unemployed) monster-hunter and adventurer. He is a citizen of the town of Flanat, and the eldest son of the The Hamster family.
[edit] James
James is Bob's friend, and a respected citizen of the town of Flanat. He is a bubble mage, an ancient and proud magical tradition which involves... bubbles.
[edit] Lord Hasim & Lord Broaste
Lord Hasim is the ruler of the Kingdom of Flanat, and Lord Broaste is the ruler of the kingdom of Broastia on the other side of the mountain. The two are rivals, but an uneasy peace has been maintained between the two nations for many years.
[edit] Dusty
Dusty is a wiener dog, and a male fashion model. To avoid his (largely imaginary) fans, he lives alone in a cottage by the sea.
[edit] Skeppio & Rathmara
Skeppio and Rathmara are cats from the city-state of Ixnekolan. They are brother and sister. Normally cats don't like hamsters, but these two seem willing enough to work together with Bob.
[edit] Gisli
Gisli the Viking is a proud warrior from a distant land. He isn't very bright (or hygenic) but he is a good fellow to have around in a fight.
[edit] Future Plans
As you may have noticed, if you played far enough, Wandering Hamster is not a complete game yet. The story dead-ends at a dramatic point, and leaves you hanging
