Kingdoms of the Dump Characters — Six Heroes

Use the kingdoms of the dump characters guide to meet all six official playable heroes, their classes, weapons, skill themes, and v1.1 caveats.

Direct answer

Kingdoms of the Dump has six official playable characters: Dustin Binsley, Ratavia, Walker Jacket, Cerulean, Musk, and Lute. Their profiles publish classes, weapons, skill themes, and hometown fields, but Musk's hometown and the full v1.1 data remain unresolved.

All six playable characters

The official Kingdoms of the Dump site names six playable characters: Dustin Binsley, Ratavia, Walker Jacket, Cerulean, Musk, and Lute. Its profile cards publish a class, weapon, skill theme, and hometown field for each member, but Musk's hometown field is ???. Those profiles are the firm basis of this page, while exact statistics, unlock timing, complete abilities, and endgame builds remain Awaiting verification.

Steam also describes switching characters and using character abilities while exploring. That supports the party’s role beyond battle, but the store summary does not publish a complete mapping of every field action to every character. The official profiles should therefore be read as introductions, not as a finished mechanical database.

Dustin Binsley

Dustin Binsley is the central trashcan knight. His official class is Garbage Knight (In-training), his weapon is the scrappy old sword called the Can-Opener, and his skill theme is Scrapbinding. His hometown is Tin Alley, where the official background describes an orphaned can who dreams of becoming a famous knight.

The wider premise places Dustin in the mission to rescue the trashpicked King and respond to the crisis across the Lands of Fill. His profile establishes identity and theme, not a complete move list or numerical growth chart. Awaiting verification: every v1.1 Scrapbinding ability, equipment restriction, stat curve, and the exact progression of his training.

Ratavia

Ratavia is officially classed as a Rogue who fights with Daggers and uses a skill theme called Ways of the Street. Her hometown is Ratlanta. The profile describes her as Dustin’s friend and a sister-like figure who moved to Garbagia after leaving Mammalon.

Those details make her relationship and broad combat identity clear without proving any specific optimal role. The official material does not publish her speed values, stealing mechanics, full ability list, or ultimate equipment. Recommendations involving Ratavia must therefore be sourced from current gameplay rather than inferred from the word “Rogue.”

Walker Jacket

Walker Jacket carries the dual class description Gunman / Librarian. His revolver is named Bookshot, his skill theme is Trick Shots, and his hometown is Needlepoint. He belongs to the Order of Book’s End, with an official description centered on tracking overdue books and missing library cards.

Walker’s profile supplies a strong theme, but it does not settle his v1.1 damage calculations or best party position. The v1.1 notes say his Scriv calculation was rebalanced, which makes older build advice especially version-sensitive. Awaiting verification: the current formula, complete Trick Shots list, and any thresholds used by Hard Mode builds.

Cerulean

Cerulean is the Wizard of the Wash, officially classed as a Laundromancer. The profile lists a Bubble Wand, the Laundromancy skill theme, and Laundry Forest as his hometown. It also says he graduated from the School of Sanitary Arts and earned a Star Print.

The v1.1 update changed Cerulean’s Bubble operation, so guides recorded before September 2026 may not demonstrate the current behavior. Neither the profile nor the update supplies a complete contemporary skill table. His exact field movement, battle applications, equipment progression, and post-update controls remain Awaiting verification unless directly shown in the current build.

Musk

Musk is officially a Stink-Bug who uses Stinklances and the skill theme Fumeshaping. The official hometown field is deliberately shown as ???, and this guide preserves that unknown instead of filling it with a guess. His background connects him to the Buggarian underworld and describes Fumeshaping as control of a surrounding stinkcloud for disguise and infiltration.

The hometown reveal, full Fumeshaping toolkit, combat statistics, and v1.1 story details are Awaiting verification. The official question marks are part of the available information, not a blank to be completed from speculation. This page therefore leaves the field unresolved.

Lute

Lute is described as Bard / Student from Tabletop and as Walker Jacket’s young apprentice in the Order of Books End. The official profile humorously gives his weapon as “None” and his skill as “Arguably None.” It also says he is preparing to earn his Bookmark.

Those jokes should not be converted into a claim that Lute lacks gameplay mechanics. They are profile copy, not a formal equipment or skill screen. The v1.1 update fixed some Lute boilpoints, confirming that older mechanical observations may have changed, while the exact current abilities and equipment behavior remain Awaiting verification.

Field abilities, party roles, and v1.1 limits

Official store copy confirms character switching and field abilities as part of exploration, alongside jumping and puzzles. It gives examples such as Rust, Climb, Gun, and Bubble, but the reviewed high-level copy is not a complete character-to-action reference. A reliable field guide still needs current screenshots or direct testing for every ability, interaction, and unlock point.

The same rule applies to party roles. Character classes and skill themes suggest identities, yet they do not establish a universal tank, healer, damage dealer, or best composition. For current builds, consult the dedicated party and skills pages and keep their v1.1 evidence labels in view.
