4	!!Main Cast
5	[[folder:Erwin Gates]]
6	A beautiful and successful man. He is rumored to be the genius of his generation and well as the richest man alive. However, behind his charming smile, something really sad is hidden. He wants the Team to go to Perk City and infiltrate Evil's lab to steal their weapons.
7	----
8	* AntiHero: The manipulative type.
9	* CuteButTroubled: More like handsome but troubled.
10	* DidNotGetTheGirl: With May in the Good End, as [[BetterAsFriends they prefer to stay friends]], [[WillTheyOrWontThey for now]].
11	* DontYouDarePityMe: Justified in his route, as he doesn’t want May's sympathy not because he’s too full of himself to accept it, but because he’s troubled by her resemblance to April.
12	* EasilyForgiven: By Kent in his Good End. Inverted in [[RedemptionEqualsDeath his Bad End]].
13	* GentlemanThief: Deconstructed. He’s charming and healthy but can’t help stealing from people and even his own teammates who call him out for it. He feels really bad about it.
14	* {{Greed}}: Loves money and is the reason he didn’t go to April's raid. He couldn’t understand why she wanted to fight just for fun and friendship.
15	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Played with, depending the route. He seems to care about his teammates but doesn’t hesitate to lie, abuse or manipulate them to advance his plans.
16	* ManipulativeBastard: And how!
17	* NonActionGuy: As TheSmartGuy of the Team, he’s totally useless in a fight.
18	* OfficialCouple: with April.
19	* OppositesAttract : The reason he loves April so much, as she was kind, encouraging and strong while he was not.
20	* PetTheDog: During Blake and Kent's routes' Good End for both characters. He also does this for May in Gunn's Good End.
21	* PowerOfTrust: What saves him in his Good End. Word of God stated that Erwin's route is more about this than love, as he can’t forget April for now.
22	* WhatBeautifulEyes: Played for laughs as he considers ''himself'' to have them.
23	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Gunn. They knew each other since they were teenagers and started adventuring together. Doesn't stop Gunn from wanting to break his nose if Erwin goes too far.
24	* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: Thinks of Blake this way and blames him for not saving April, although he is remorseful that he did not go with her. Takes this up to eleven during Gunn's Bad End as he tries to '''murder him'''.
25	* YouRemindMeOfX: May reminds him of April way too much, especially when compared to the others.
26	* ParentalNeglect: His parents were crippled by debt thanks to their gaming addiction, never really looked for him and disappeared violently when he turned sixteen. He doesn’t seems to miss them.
27	* ReplacementGoldfish: In his Bad Ending, May becomes this for him.
28	* ShipperOnDeck: He seems to be this in Kent's route, but possibly just to tease him.
29	[[/folder]]

31
32	[[folder:Gunn Rose]]
33	The priest and heart of the team. He’s kind of morbid but he’s a really good healer. He lived at Perk (in his parents' basement, per WordOfGod) and works as a priest. He wants the Team to go to Death Pics because he said so.
34	----
35	* AffectionateNickname: Sometimes, the team calls him "Rose". It’s both his penname and last name. "Rose" also means "Pink" in French.
36	* BlackComedy: Thanks to his morbid and very graphical obsession with injuries and deaths.
37	* CassandraTruth: Due to his tendency to exaggerate, some players felt he didn’t tell the truth about the creatures of darkness. Turns out he was actually pretty realistic about it.
38	* CreepyGood: Has fantasies about resurrecting his teammates and gets bored if nobody gets injured. However, he cares a lot for them and wants to help them move on from April’s death.
39	* HiddenDepths: Per WordOfGod, he’s really good with children and dresses as Santa for Christmas. He is also an incredible singer and artist. Also, he admits that he has some struggles with his Teammates after the death of April.
40	* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears black clothes with a little skull but is definitely the least screwed up member of the Team.
41	* DemonicPossession: Actually averted with him in all the routes, as he is the OnlySaneMan in the Team.
42	* GentleGiant: Doesn’t look like this but is actually a really nice man.
43	* RealMenWearPink: With black. His magic wand looks awfully like a [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide magical girl wand]] too.
44	* TeamDad: A very weird example. Nobody looks at him as such due to his morbid speech, but he is this to Blake and helps him to confront his sister in Gabby's rout. He also calls out Erwin when he goes too far in his shenanigans.
45	* TheMedic: Medic mage to be exact.
46	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Erwin, who he threatens a lot, but in the end doesn't actually do anything to.
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Kent Kentson Son of Kent]]
50	A lovable young man from the Winter village, in the north. He is a Berserker Class, yet hates to fights excepts in necessarily cases. He’s such a pacifist that he prefers to go to the Utopia Maker (sort of parlement supposed to found accords between the different lands to avoid war) to make peace with Evil than fight him.
51	----
52	* AttackAttackAttack : He doesn’t like to fight but when he does…
53	* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Doesn’t remember what he's done under the influence of Berserker!Kent. Ultimately subverted, as he ''does'' remember but couldn’t accept it [[ReluctantPsycho as true]].
54	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kent is a sweetheart but don’t try to threaten him or his friends. Or kick him in the back. Or lie to/hide things from him. [[BerserkButton Or kiss May in front of him.]]
55	* BrokenPedestal: For two people: April and his father. It’s downplayed for April, as he realizes she'd hid things from him but he still cares for her. It’s implied for his father in the Good End but played straight in the Bad End.
56	-->'''Berserker!Kent''': [to '''Erwin'''] You’re no different than my dad. I remember now. I remember it so clearly. They had refused dad’s request. Every. Single. One. He was furious. He told them to accept or they’ll all be dead. Of course, my father could have done this easily but he had me to do this.
57	* CuteAndPsycho: Mostly more cute than psycho, but isn’t aware of the psycho part.
58	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was trained by his father to become the perfect soldier who slaughtered everyone in their path, despite him disliking it. His mother, a kind woman who tried to teach him the beauty of life, died when he was fourteen. He eventually decided to leave his dad after being sent on a mission and learned to use his power to save people instead of killing them. When he came back to his father, said father was disgusted to see his son turned into a peaceful man and tried to make him like before by using him to fight in countless battles and destroy the UM. This resulted in split personalities, his Berserker side and his regular one.
59	* DemonicPossession: Falls under the control of Evil during his route and Erwin's.
60	* FireForgedFriends: With Blake, though it’s zigzagged as they were once close but became more distant after April’s death. Their bond can be restored in some Ends.
61	* FreakOut: Has this reaction when the group arrives at the UM and found everyone dead. He eventually gets better, depending on the ending.
62	* FriendToAllLivingThings: His hobby is taming animals. He even has a friendly snow fox, Foxy, who is very fond of him.
63	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Subverted. He seems modest, but it’s actually because he can’t remember what he has done as a warrior.
64	* IAmAMonster: Quotes this at the UM. Surprisingly, it’s Berserker!Kent who does this.
65	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Oh boy, being a Pollyanna with Values Dissonance doesn’t help him at all.
66	-->'''Kent:''' "[…] Didn’t you tell me there is a prophecy in your family about [that you are a ChosenOne]?"
67	-->'''Blake:'''" Yeah, but I think it's fake."
68	-->'''Kent:''' "I see. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Well, that’s too bad]]."
69	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Was this for April, because he knew [[UnrequitedLove his love]] [[HopelessSuitor couldn’t be reciprocated]]. Didn't stop him for being jealous of Erwin. Totally averted in Kent’s Bad End. [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty Poor May.]]
70	* JekyllAndHyde: You have Kent, the joyful and [[ActualPacifist peaceful man]] and you have Berserker!Kent, a [[UnstoppableRage violent warrior]] [[AxCrazy who will cut into pieces those who stand in his way]]. Worse, they aren’t aware of each other and the Team exploits it. A lot. In his route, you’ll have to break the [[AwfulTruth status quo]], [[BreakTheCutie whatever the consequences may be.]]
71	* LaughingMad: Usually, his laughter is sincere but seeing May gets kissed by Erwin and learning the truth about his Hyde personality sets him off.
72	* MissingMom: In the chronology posted on the blog of Makiokuta, you can learn that his mother died when he was fourteen. The reason is unknown but it’s probably from illness.
73	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Happens in both in his Good Ending when May tries to wake him up from Evil's influence and in his Bad End, [[BigNo after killing all the party’s members.]]
74	* PetTheDog: Has these moments with Blake in his Good End.
75	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Every time he’s in "fighting" mode. Or extremely upset. Or happy (maybe).
76	* ReluctantWarrior: Or so he thinks he is. Played straight in his Good End.
77	* SleepCute: If Kent has a good bond with May during the event at the inn and the player chooses the right option, this may happen.
78	* SplitPersonalityMerge: In his route, this will happen if the bond between May and Kent is strong enough. [[GoneHorriblyWrong But if it doesn’t…]]
79	* SweetTooth: Likes cookies with milk.
80	* ThePollyanna: He rarely is down, is always cheerful and try to be positive even in the worst situations, but can turn out to be insensitive. Doesn’t mean he isn’t realistic. At least, most of the time. He can turn into a StepfordSmiler in his route and Gabby’s Bad End in some situations.
81	* UnwittingPawn: Poor Kent, he doesn’t realize that his own Teammates are lying to him about his capacity to go Berserker and uses it to their advantage… [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Such as defeating monsters, boss or breaking walls]] without his knowledge or consent.
82	* ValuesDissonance: Justified in-universe as he comes from the North, which is a different culture than that of Perk.
83	-->'''Kent''': "See, Summer Village kept stealing our croups in retaliation for us [[AbductionIsLove stealing their daughters]]; [[HypocriticalHumor not very nice]]."
84	* {{Yandere}}: Berserker!Kent is implied to be this for May in his route. Played Straight in his Bad End.
85	--> '''Berserker!Kent''': You are mine and only mine. [[MurderTheHypotenuse I won’t let Erwin]] or this other part of me have you now: [[SplitPersonalityTakeover he is gone forever]].
86	* YouRemindMeOfX: Subverted. He is persuaded in his route that April would have chosen the same option as May, but clearly considers them as two different people.
87	[[/folder]]
88
89	[[folder:Blake Ember]]
90	A knight and a Chosen One after the prophecy of the Ember family who said that the first orange haired son to be birth will be a Hero. However, his lack of self estime is really screwing his skills. He wants to lead the team to the Castle Evil, but [[WithFriendsLikeThese nobody is really listening his proposition]]…
91	----
92	* AntiHero: With a complete lack of self-esteem.
93	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Subverted and justified. He isn’t the youngest (it’s Kent actually) but is treated as such by the Team, mostly due to his lack of skill and confidence.
94	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why he admired April so much and why he falls in love with May in his route.
95	* BreakTheCutie: In his Bad End, Erwin throws a explosive that almost kills him. Realizing it, he turns on the group, frozen and heartbroken by their betrayal. The Dragon he was fighting ends up eating him.
96	* ButtMonkey: Played for drama. He’s actually bullied and mocked by his peers and is really upset that nobody is taking him seriously.
97	* CantCatchUp: Feels this way toward April’s skill.
98	* CharacterDevelopment: In his good route, he becomes a confident young knight who leads the Team to defeat the Big Bad.
99	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Since his birth, he was put under a lot of pressure as a ChosenOne. His family and adopted family died because of his big sister who is also constantly putting him down. He lived as a runaway until he met April, who is the first one to care about him and cheer him up. He felt good and useful in their team. However, he freaks out as April and him fight a Dragon and he watched her being eaten alive, unable to do anything. Since then, everybody became distant from him at best or started bullying him (again) at worst.
100	* DemonicPossession: Averted in his Good End thanks to ThePowerOfLove, but played straight in Gabby's route.
101	* FireForgedFriends: With Kent, but it’s zigzagged as they were once close but became more distant after April’s death. Their bond can be restored in some Good Ends.
102	* KnightInShiningArmor: Aspired to be this. Becomes it in his Good End and implied to be in Erwin's route.
103	* ThePowerOfLove: During his Good End he saves May from her DemonicPossession thanks to this.
104	* SleepCute: Like Kent, this may happen at the inn if you asked him to sleep in the bed instead of on the floor.
105	* SurvivorGuilt: He feels terrible about the fact [[ItsAllMyFault he survived the dragon that ate April]].
106	* UnskilledButStrong: He’s the most low level of the Team but he manages to kill a Dragon in his Good End along with the Team and then leads it to fight Evil.
107	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Realizes it thanks to May in his route and in Erwin's.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Gabriel (Gabby) Ember]]
111	A hot mage who has a thing for fire. She became a Hero to clean up her reputation. She is the big sister of Blake but her relationship with him isn’t as bright as she would like it to be. She wants to burn down Hick Village, where Evil came from, in hopes of causing him to want revenge and showing himself.
112	----
113	* ActionGirl: Indeed, as a mage.
114	* AloofBigSister: Exaggerated toward Blake as she turns [[BigBrotherBully really abusive]].
115	* AntiHero: The violent version.
116	* CharacterDevelopment: In her Good End, she decides to make efforts to change her behavior towards her little brother and become a big sister he can be proud of.
117	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Accidentally burned down her parents' house, only managing to save her little brother from the flames. She burned down the house (this time willingly) of their adoptive parents because they were abusive to them. She then became an outlaw as she kept burning down village on fire for fun, until she had a HeelFaceTurn.
118	* DemonicPossession: In her Bad End, she falls under the control of Evil. Happen also in Erwin's route along with her teammates (save for Gunn and May).
119	* FemmeFatale: Played for laughs, as she tried to be this when flirting with May but end up embarrassed by what she said.
120	* GreenEyedMonster: A platonic example. She was this with April, as she was jealous of her perfection and her relationship with her brother.
121	* LesbianOption: If you pick her route.
122	* MeaningfulName: Ember, like the fire she loves to use… A bit too much.
123	* OnlySaneWoman: Averted. Her only tactics consist of AttackAttackAttack with Fire.
124	* PetTheDog: As horrible as she can be with her brother, she can compliment him on occasion.
125	* ReformedButNotTamed: She embraces the career of Hero but still loves to destroy things, especially with fire.
126	* ScarsAreForever: Has them on her shoulders.
127	* SleepCute: Parodied since she snores really loud when she sleeps.
128	* TokenLesbian: Is the only female character to be into girls and only girls.
129	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Can be the Tomboy to Girly Girl May.
130	* ToughLove: Zig-zagged for Blake. She loves him but is annoyed by his lack of capability and self-esteem. She pushes and bullies him in hopes that he will get more aggressive but at the same time, knows deep down it’s definitely not the best approach.
131
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:May]]
135	A young woman who started to work as a barmaid three days before meeting the World Class Heroes. She is quite observant of the group and tries to keep up with them during the journey. However, she quickly finds out the World Class Heroes aren’t what their reputation indicated…
136	----
137	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys\|SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Played with depending who you choose to pursue.
138	** Gabby is the lesbian variant of this and is played straight.
139	** Kent seems be the latter, then subverted, then ultimately double subverted in his Good End.
140	** The latter is played straight for Blake.
141	** Gunn seems to be the former at first, then subverts it as you get to know him.
142	** Erwin is the former played straight.
143	* BrokenPedestal: Downplayed for the majority of the World Class Heroes as they are not what she imagined. Straight in the case of Erwin.
144	* DemonicPossession: Can [[MindRape be a victim]] of this in Evil's ending. Otherwise, she escapes this fate, but it doesn't mean she won't have further problems…
145	* DidNotGetTheBoy: In Erwin's Good End, this happens but it’s actually a good thing as they decided they are better as friends.
146	* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She may be introverted but don’t you dare kiss her without her consent!
147	--> '''Erwin, after being kicked in the groin''': gnhnnnnnhhhhhg I guess I deserved it.
148	* FateWorseThanDeath: In Kent and Gunn’s Bad endings.
149	** In Kent's, Berserker!Kent, under the influence of Evil, kills everybody save for May. Once he regains his composure, he learns he's the one who killed his friends and breaks, leaving Berserker!Kent, who is a huge Yandere toward May, in full control.
150	** In Gunn's, the Team can’t work together to save May who suffers the same fate as April. Erwin breaks and everyone starts to kill each other while Gunn can only watch the massacre of his friends, unable to save them. May get vomited out by the Dragon and put in a coma by Gunn, who is the only one to stay alive. He tries everything he could to bring her back to life, only to realize that he can’t do anything to save her.
151	--> '''Gunn''': I’m all alone, isn’t it?
152	* GoodParents: She does really loves her family. She mentions them on the start of her journey and has a photo of her mother in her wallet.
153	* HelloInsertNameHere: Her default and canon name is May, but you can change it while she introduces herself to the World Class Heroes.
154	* IdenticalStranger: Is this to April and is the reason why she is approached by the World Class Heroes in the first place.
155	* MeaningfulName: If not changed, as May is the month after April.
156	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Does this in Kent, Gunn and Gabby's Bad Ends. In each of them, she tried to protect them which triggered the bad side of the character instead of the good one. Can also count as one in Erwin's Bad End. Instead of telling him the truth, she decides to embrace his madness and become the new April.
157	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Subverted, it was her first motivation to go the castle with the group before she JumpedAtTheCall. Also justified since she dreams of being a Hero and needs money to attend Hero Academy. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/MyHeroAcademia?from=Anime.MyHeroAcademia No, not this one]].
158	* RedOniBlueOni: She is the Blue Oni of April, being more reserved and less hot-headed than the ex-leader.
159	* TheProtagonist
160	* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Can become this in the Evil Ending if the bond with her crush is too fragile.
161	* WhatTheHellHero: Reacts to everyone like this a lot since she is the OnlySaneWoman of the band. It’s both played for laughs and for drama in all the routes, but not for the same reasons. Can also be played straight for her if she refuses to welcome the character who came in her room at the inn because she prefers to sleep, especially if the character [[KickTheDog is Blake or Kent]].
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:April Fool]]
165	The deceased leader of World Class Heroes. She was a strong and brave girl who believed in everyone, though it resulted in her death.
166	----
167	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Of all the cast, she fell in love with Erwin, [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl the Rogue of the Team.]]
168	* AllLovingHero: Had faith in everybody, even in the ones she didn’t totally understand, like Gabby and Erwin.
169	* BigSisterMentor: Was this for Blake.
170	* DeathByOriginStory: And the reason why everybody is struggling to stick together.
171	* IdiotHero: She seemed to be affected by the StockShonenHero syndrome. And it was definitely not a good idea to fight a Dragon with only one member of the party at level 23.
172	* KnightInShiningArmor: Was a paladin and a [[ActionGirl very nice lady]].
173	* MeaningfulName: As a Pun. Also, April is the month before May…
174	* ObliviousToLove: May or may not have been this toward Kent. Or possibly she just pretended [[AbhorrentAdmirer to not notice]].
175	* OfficialCouple: With Erwin, as a MasculineGirlFeminineBoy dynamic.
176	* RedOniBlueOni: Red oni to May's blue oni.
177	* TheChosenOne: Well, she was eating an apple and found that it looked like a star jewel, which could match with an old prophecy in her family about a black haired woman with a red jewel who would become a Hero. And she did save the world! However, while being eaten by a Dragon, she realized that she was probably more an Unchosen one… And a fool.
178	[[/folder]]
179
180	!!Minor Characters
181	[[folder:Kent's father, Kent son of Uruguyson]]
182	The chief of Winter Village. He is a very powerful Berserker who asked Erwin to take his son in their quest to defeat Evil. He has his own agenda for Kent.
183	----
184	* {{Berserker}}
185	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His wife, while she strongly disagreed with what he was doing to their son, kept loving him, implying he was at least respectful to her.
186	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Can’t understand why his son is so peaceful.
187	* TheGhost: He never appears in the game, but is mentioned by Kent (and potentially Erwin) a couple of times.
188	* GoodParents: Subverted. He trained his son since he was young to be a killing machine, despite said son not liking it.
189	* {{Hunk}}
190	* IHaveNoSon: Per WordOfGod, he felt his way toward Kent when he came back from his quest as he was much more peaceful than before. He considers Berserker!Kent to be his real son and tries to trigger this part of his personality permanently.
191	* OppositesAttract: Was married to a gentle and peaceful woman while himself is a power Hungry bloodthirsty warrior..
192	[[/folder]]
193
194	[[folder:The King]]
195	The fourteenth, apparently. He is an old senile man who mutters a lot.
196	----
197	* FlatCharacter: He is just a senile old king who sent the Heroes to fight Evil.
198	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zig-zagged. He may had decided to summon the World Class Heroes to defeat the BigBad, but besides giving them his blessing, he didn’t do much to help them.
199	* {{Squick}}: In-Universe example. He kisses the forehead of his heroes to bless them. But everybody is disgusted by this since he drools…
200	[[/folder]]
201
202	[[folder:Foxy]]
203	The snow fox pet of Kent who never leaves his side.
204	----
205	* ADogNamedDog: Foxy the Fox. It’s apparently because Kent sucks at thinking of names.
206	* EmpathyPet: Goes Berserk at the same time as Kent.
207	* FlatCharacter: She is just there as an anesthetic. She isn’t even named in the game and doesn’t do anything much besides comforting Kent when he feels down and fighting by his side when needed.
208	* ShipperOnDeck: In Kent's route, she seems quite happy that Kent got a girlfriend.
