Kingdom of Loathing (KOL) is a (mostly) original online game that apparently has something to do with Asymmetric Publications, LLC, and something called a Jick, who owns/ runs/ is (?) KOL. Specific characters belong to their specific owners, specifically, unless specifically stated otherwise. This game was developed by Joshua A. Dexter, with rules based in part on Mercenary and Equinox. This is a non profit game done for entertainment purposes only.
KOL forums, store,  entry at Answers,  KOL's entry at Archive.org, and it's entry at Wikipedia, and KOL's own wiki. - JAD

In other words, I don't own KOL, or KOKOL, and KOL doesn't own KOL. Get it? !
