The Alphabet of : Mephisto

I literally read the dictionary for fun, and I have compiled a list of nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives that one could apply to characters of AnE, along with the definitions because context. There will be a series of these posts because my lists are just that long. Starting with the character who has the LONGEST list of descriptive words you could apply to him, his house, his pawns and his attributes. Have fun learning a bigger vocabulary!

Also, if you see numbers ( e.g. 2,) 3) etc) those indicate the exact definition of a word I am referring to. Some of these are kinda ad-lib, especially those with applicable slang contexts, (Fool is a good example).
