Main Characters

Lufas Maphaahl

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/21944v1.jpg

The protagonist is a gamer from an MMO a few decades from now who was a top tier player in the game Exgate Online. His character was Lufas Maphaahl, a beautiful black winged flugel with massive popularity among the players as the unofficial last boss that took over the ingame world. After playing through a staged event where he was 'defeated' by his fellow guild mates, he was given a choice to take on a new role by Alovenus, the avatar for the game's administrators.

He instantly finds himself in the world of the game in Lufas' body, several centuries after she was sealed. Due to a hero summoning gone wrong, the seal placed on her was broken. With the protagonist having no clue what else to do, he decides on gathering up Lufas' minions and finding out if his guild mates, all of whom are now equally legendary figures, were also moved into the game.

But... the character of Lufas isn't really as he remembered characterizing her at all. She took over the world through brutal conquest, but she's actually remembered somewhat fondly by the people? What's going on here? And what was she even after in the first place?

The Ace: Between her natural charisma and power, she's easily this. In the real world, Lufas' creator was this to Exgate Online as well as he was the first player ever to conquer the entire map of Midgard. He was so much of an ace that his character Lufas ended up becoming a semi-canonical character as a result.
Ambiguously Evil: She has a very mixed reputation among the population. Some look at her brutal methods, some look at her good results and everyone wonders what she was actually trying to achieve since she didn't seem interested in conquering itself.
Ambiguously Gay: Any questions of her gender identity are muddled by thinking of gender identity in terms of physical attraction. For example, Scorpius is a rather sexy lady that likes to glomp Ruphas, but Ruphas just thinks something to the effect of "Not interested cause I've got a girl's body now, even if I'm a male inside" while at other times thinking she'd never be attracted to a man since she (sort of) considers herself one for much of the story. The word asexual is never so much as implied either so?
- Further complicating things is the reveal that the protagonist is actually a small part of Lufas's soul. He was never male to begin with thus putting into question every instance where he said wasn't attracted to something because of his perceived gender.
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Technically considers herself male, but is usually treated by the story as 100% female and doesn't mind being considered female even by people who know her origins and therefore don't need to be kept out of the loop. Which isn't even getting into Alovenus tampering with her identity to unknown effects. It's deliberately self inflicted: The player was an avatar Ruphas created to be as different from her as possible, which she decided to include swapping sex. Was Ruphas trans? Did she care at all? Probably not, since there are implications she did it in part as a joke.
Amnesiac Dissonance: Aries and Libra are actually happy to see the 'new' Lufas because they believe it's her natural personality: Without her memories holding her down, she's able to be the person she would be without a lifetime of trauma and hard decisions.
Animal Motifs: Often associated with crows.
Benevolent Boss: To the Twelve Heavenly Stars. It doesn't matter to Lufas if some like Aries and Aigokeros decided to side with the demons in order to take revenge against those who betrayed her even if she wouldn't actually approve. She's more than willing to forgive them for their mistakes due to their sheer loyalty.
Beware the Nice Ones: While all the characters and the readers know she's overpowered, when she finally has a conversation with Sei he's surprised at how reasonable she is and thinks she's not so scary after all. Then she offhandedly punches a flood and sends it flying somehow, causing him to decide that yep, she's scary.
Beyond the Impossible: The level cap is set at 1000, but she's much stronger than even normal level 1000s. This isn't the peak of her ability, either: level 3000 is... still not quite there, actually, but enough to stomp any character seen so far apart from Alovenus.
Blood Knight: Very eager for a fight.
Book Dumb: She doesn't consider herself very intelligent, but can easily pick up on the story foreshadowing as well as any reader or better. It may be Heroic Self-Deprecation, however, as she's also a master alchemist, general, king all around well balanced.
Buxom Beauty Standard: Her impressive bust is a result of Her creator making her that way for the sex appeal.
Canon Immigrant: As mentioned in The Ace, Lufas is this to the video-game "Exgate Online" as she became so wildly popular that even the developers decided to include her within the game's canon lore.
Cool Big Sis: After recruiting her in place of her grandmother, Lufas develops a protective attitude towards Virgo and seeks to help her grow into a confident young woman.
Dark and Troubled Past: As a child, she was heavily persecuted by her fellow flugels due to having black wings. Suffering regularly from having rocks thrown at her or receiving beatings from her father. Interestingly enough, this wasn't a part of her creator's design. This, among several others, serves as moment of realization for Lufas' creator that he wasn't simply transported into the game that he loved playing and also begs the question of what happened to the real Lufas ever since he began inhabiting her body.
Deadpan Snarker: A lot of her inner monologue is Lufas constantly snarking at her surroundings. Particularly when it comes to the Twelve Heavenly Stars.
Defeat Means Friendship: A number of her Twelve Heavenly Stars are rare monsters and/or event bosses that Lufas' creator managed to successfully tame thanks to her Monster Taming skill.
Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Played for laughs. When Sei decides to cooperate with her, he wonders in an omake how he's even going to speak to her while simultaneously avoiding having to prove his own strength, which is ridiculously inferior to hers. His mind races from scenarios of 'Prove your strength! ...Oh, he died' 'well done, kid, have a pat on the back! ...Oh, he died.'
The Dreaded: Easily the most dreaded being in existence barring the Demon King. Hell, even the Demon King himself thinks of Lufas as this as he and the Demon Tribe made a point to specifically avoid conflict with her.
Even the Girls Want Her: Scorpius clearly does.
Fallen Angel: Flugels gain discolored wings as they become tainted by the mana around them, which they consider to be quite ugly. With jet black wings, Lufas looks horribly corrupted and hideous. It eventually becomes clear that she isn't even a flugel.
Gender Bender: Lufas' creator, who is male, is currently inhabiting the body of the Female Lufas. It's actually the other way around. Whether due to curiosity about the opposite sex or as a joke, Lufas chose to reincarnate an amnesiac fragment of her soul as a human male, and Dina manipulated events to recreate Lufas's life story in the game that he played. When the time was right, Dina sent a copy of him to rejoin with the original Lufas.
Good Is Not Nice: As Lufas slowly returns to her original personality she becomes notably more brutal towards enemies, such as basically turning the insides of a corrupt noble into goo without killing him after he harassed Virgo and attempted to kill Sei's party.
Greed: As her creator finds out, the real Lufas had a fetish for collecting treasures just for the sake of it. When taking goods from her tomb's treasury, she subconsciously begins collecting everything in sight and only stops after being scolded by Dina and Aries. Her creator theorizes that this is likely due to her impoverished childhood growing up, but no, she just likes shinies. She even compares herself to a crow because of this.
The Good King: Although described as a tyrant whose conquest of the land was bloody, it's noted that her rule was just and fair. She even banned the white wing Flugels discrimination towards those with mixed-colored wings so that both sides could live together as equals. And as the world was united under her rule, wars between humanity were non-existent as well.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: Doesn't consider herself very intelligent, but has proven quite clever and was a talented enough alchemist that Mizar worried she might one day surpass him.
Honor Before Reason: Lufas, during her days of conquest, never relied on surprise attacks and instead always announced her presence before commencing battle with her enemies.
Invincible Hero: She basically does not struggle in fights. For the first two fights where she does, against the Demon King and Benetnash, it's noted that she actually shouldn't be and against the latter activates her super mode to start stomping again.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Critical memories have been hidden away until recalled by outside forces. She knows who she is, but not what was motivating her centuries ago.
Leeroy Jenkins: Snippets from the past show that she was this during her and the Seven Heroes' adventuring days as she would often charge ahead without caring for the consequences much to exasperation of her companions.
Limit Break: With the original Lufas in control, she can temporarily raise her level to 3000 to show off her true ability. This means breaking outside the system the goddess put on the world, so only she and Benetnash have been shown to do this. When she regains her full memories, her original stats put her boosted ability at Level 4200.
Mama Bear: Lufas doesn't take kindly to anyone trying to harm the Twelve Stars, particularly Aries and Virgo. A nobleman named Debley finds this out the hard way when tried to force himself on the latter as Lufas immediately proceeded to pummel him into a bloody mess. She beats him much so that there's no trace of the human he used to be, all the while still keeping him alive so that he could suffer just a little longer and regret his actions before dying.
Man, I Feel Like a Woman: Averted. While Lufas' creator initially does feel the temptation to "test out" Lufas' body, he knows it'd be an inappropriate thing to do to his beloved creation.
Master of All: When using her limit break ability, she's shown to have level 200 in just about every class seen so far, including magic that would be barred to her if she were really a flugel.
Media Transmigration: Lufas' creator, finds himself in Lufas' body, 200 years after her defeat and presumed death in the game world. It is eventually revealed that the fantasy world was real all along. He actually held a part of Lufas soul and the game was created to familiarize him with the world before returning the soul to the original body.
Megaton Punch: Can deliver devastating punches, and as well as kicks for that matter as seen in her fight against Aries. In fact, she's strong enough to punch and completely obliterate an enormous meteor being dropped on her by Dina.
Morality Chain: To the Twelve Heavenly Stars. Under her command they once defended the people of Midgard from the Demon Tribe, but once she was taken down however that quickly change as some such as Aries eventually ended up turning on humanity due to their betrayal of her. This notably disturbs Sei: While Lufas herself is a nice person, she seems to have little interest in reining in the likes of Scorpius or Aigokeros, leaving him fearful of what they might do when separated from her.
Mundane Utility: One of her skills is the ability to create powerful golems that aid her in battle. She instead ends up using it to create an RV as a method of transportation. She later even gives it the ability to transform into a jet!
Ms. Fanservice: Frequently described as being good looking and it shows. Her creator admits that he spent hours designing her to be this way.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Aside from her general reputation, her name is taken straight from two demons from the Ars Goetia.
Nice Girl: Despite her reputation and history, she's actually quite kind, which can be seen in how she makes sure to treat Dina as well as she can when everyone else treats her like a joke. Of course, this only applies to her current life: Whatever she may have been like deep down in the past, her outward behavior was a little extreme to be called "nice."
Only Known by Their Nickname: Merak reveals that "Lufas Maphaahl" isn't really Lufas' actual name, but rather a name given to her meant to degrade her further in the eyes of flugels as its taken from Halphas and Malphas, two evil devils in the world of Midgard. He speculates that she likely has a different name but wasn't permitted to call herself that nor did Lufas care to actually do so once she became an Overlord.
Paper-Thin Disguise: The clothes that Megrez gives her doesn't really do much to actually disguise her aside from hiding her infamous black wings. The moment Aigokeros lays his eyes on her he immediately recognizes her. She's also forced to put up her hood when exploring Gjallarhorn since most flugels are likely to still remember her face due to being a Long-Lived race.
Planet Destroyer: Hasn't done it, but it's noted that at her maximum power she could do it fairly easily.
Really 700 Years Old: Over 200 years old, though she spent the majority of that sealed away. This actually a racial trait of her species as flugels are able to live for over a thousand years.
Red Baron: Known as the "Black Winged Supreme Overlord" to those who live in Midgard. To the players of Exgate Online, she's known as the "Wild Last Boss". The Demon Tribe also refers to Lufas as "Alcor" which is a star that brings death.
Shrouded in Myth: Despite there still being a large number of people who can still recognize her by face alone still living, not many people actually know a lot about her. This has made her a matter of fierce scholarly debate as to why she united all the humanoid nations under her name and whether or not she was a good ruler.
Single Specimen Species: It's believed that she's not a flugel at all but rather a mutation of one into a new species. Humans are a mutation of flugel and the other races are all mutations of humans, meaning there's precedent for the idea. The idea among people who follow this theory is that flugels naturally shun darker wings because dark wings signify how close the person was to becoming such a mutation: Having become a new species, Lufas no longer carries the punishment of the flugel race of being weak to mana in the air and, implicitly, being unable to use magic. However, since she's already at the level cap, there's no real way to test this. Unless she breaks the level cap, showing she actually has level 200 in some magic using classes.
Spanner in the Works: She proved an obstacle to the goddess' plan to the world because not only was she strong enough to rival the demon king, but she's actually not even a flugel: The humanoid races besides the flugels are mutations of humans after being exposed to mana, but since mana makes flugels feel sick they can't possibly be mutations of another creature. Instead, Lufas is to a flugel what a vampire or elf is to a human.
Split Personality: The protagonist identifies as a gamer from Japan, but recognizes the existence of Lufas still inside the body and knows he's slowly merging with her. Lufas, on the other hand, refers to the protagonist as her sleeping self. The protagonist is eventually revealed to be Lufas' Avatar split off during her banishment, intentially created as male to further distance himself from the original—both to hide from Alovenus as well as to look at Lufas' actions more objectively in order to figure out the flaws in her original approach.
Spotting the Thread: After Dina's suspicious behavior gets too much to bear, Lufas pulls her aside and begins with the first obvious sign of her fake identity: She knows what a photo is in a world that hasn't invented the camera. Also, her personality is too quirky to be a character that Lufas would have forgotten and the state of the tower doesn't match her story of 'I was waiting all this time for you!' Later, she recognizes that Dina's odd abilities and very specific set of elemental affinities means she's nearly guaranteed to not just be a player, but someone either related to the goddess or the goddess' avatar herself.
Storm of Blades: One of her favorite methods of attack aside from punching and kicking.
Strong Family Resemblance: Lufas towards her late mother. The two are practically identical save for a few differences with the main one being that her mother had white wings.
Super Mode: When truly serious, she can break through the level cap to reach level 3000, which is way more than three times her normal strength.
Theme Naming: While Lufas doesn't normally confirm to the celestial naming the rest of the cast has, her Red Baron moniker among the demons is Alcor, a star that forms a naked eye double with Mizar, which ties her with the Seven Heroes.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Tomboy to Dina's Girly Girl, as inclination for long dresses and jewelry aside, Lufas generally does not act like a woman or worry about femininity at all, which makes sense as the creator is originally male.
World's Strongest Woman: So much that even the Demon King fears her. It's later revealed that the current Lufas is actually weaker than how she was prior to being sealed away.

Dina

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/21944v2.jpg

Lufas' first stop on her journey is her old home base, a massive tower that cannot be entered without the use of flight or someone inside letting you in. Inside, she finds a young woman that appears to have been a background NPC set by Lufas during the game. Most of Lufas' other companions only just barely remember her as a woman with no presence, though her personality is oddly lively for someone that always went unnoticed.

Despite her claims of having been a rather unnoticeable adviser, her strange and varied abilities, her suspicious behavior and her attention grabbing personality cast doubt upon her claims, leaving it unclear as to who or what she really is.

Atrocious Alias: When introducing Dina to Scorpius, Libra calls her "Dina Background of the Background". She is not amused by this, especially when Scorpius takes it seriously and Lufas decides to tease her for it.
Butt-Monkey: Between being easily forgotten to constantly being frightened by certain situations, she's this.
Colony Drop: Dawn Star. She uses this on Lufas during their fight, and unlike others who can cast the spell Dina can accelerate the speed of impact thanks to her teleportation.
Curtains Match the Windows: Blue hair and blue eyes. Averted when using her guise as Venus.
Double Agent: Following her fight with Lufas, she's kept on as a spy into the Demon King's affairs while supposedly passing harmless information back. Eventually, she gives this role up, but still has an obvious connection to the goddess while seemingly doing nothing but helping Lufas.
Double Reverse Quadruple Agent: Avatar of the Goddess Alovenus. Venus of the Seven Luminaries. Opiuchus the Serpent Bearer, Thirteenth member of the Tyrannical Heavenly Stars (whose existence was unknown to all but Taurus, Parthenos, and Aquarius). Dina was the one to arrange Lufas' banishment (to get her out of Alovenus' eye), as well as her eventual resummoning.
Enigmatic Minion: Venus of the Seven Luminaries and Lufas' trusted(ish) aide, but no one is entirely sure what she's after and even Lufas sees that she's obviously connected to the goddess. However, in a private conversation, she seems to be genuinely grateful to Lufas, implying she may not simply be a mole planted by Alovenus or the goddess herself.
Fake Memories:
- Capable of inflicting this on others as seen when she does so against a team of adventurers in order to prevent Lufas' true identity from being found out during Libra's recruitment. It turns out that this is why Lufas and the others can't remember her at first, as Dina was never truly Lufas' assistant and the moment they do remember her it's actually Dina using her abilities to insert her presence within their memories.
- It's noted to not be an absolute power, however. It requires eye contact to work, and golems (such as Libra) are completely unaffected. She also cannot easily affect someone much more powerful than herself, as the most she could do to Lufas was create an unwillingness to suspect Dina.
Funny Background Event: During the visit to Vanaheimr, Dina is mentioned to be pointing at herself when the party is discussing what to do regarding the empty Maiden spot due to Parthenos' death, clearly trying to nominate herself for the job. She's ignored.
Lovable Traitor: By the end of the arc involving Mars and Aries it's pretty clear that she's Venus of the Seven Luminaries and a traitor, but not even Lufas cares much upon finding out. It's implied that even after supposedly devoting herself to Lufas that she's still working on her own entirely separate goals: The Demon Lord knows she's a Double Agent but doesn't do a thing about it while Dina's abilities on a larger scale are the same thing that caused the world to turn on Lufas back in the day.
Macross Missile Massacre: She has a number of spells which function as these, including rains of steel or literal deluges. Thanks to being able to use Exgate, she can even make it work with Dawn Star.
Ms. Exposition: Part of her role in the story is explaining details about the modern world of Midgard to Lufas.
Non-Action Guy: Being an assistant, she doesn't really take part in any of the fighting. This is later turned on its head when she reveals her true identity as a level 1000 player who's able to keep up with Lufas to a degree. She still doesn't participate in battles much after this reveal, but she's no longer inactive.
Older Than They Look: She lived during the time of Lufas' rule which easily makes her 200 years old. The reason why she's still alive is due to her elf-blood. This later turns out to be a lie as the "Dina" who served Lufas had never existed at all.
Other Me Annoys Me: As an avatar of Alovenus, she has a copy of her personality and memories, but being right up close to her followers gives her a much stronger sense of empathy for them than her original, resulting in fundamental disagreements.
Perky Female Minion: Dina's dynamic with Lufas is easily reminiscent of this, as she's quite perky and energetic compared to her mistress who is mostly serious and composed.
Person of Mass Destruction: Nowhere near Lufas' level, but yes, she definitely qualifies on account of being able to cast Dawn Star nigh-instantly, or being able to spam it for a Macross Missile Massacre with meteors.
The Reveal: It later turns out that she's Venus, one of the Seven Luminaries of the Demon Tribe. In addition to this, she's also revealed to be a player much like Lufas (a beta player to be exact) who ended up being brought to Midgard as her avatar.
Squishy Wizard: As revealed post-battle, Dina's actual stats are heavily skewed towards this archetype, to the point her magical stats are even higher than the Seven Heroes at their prime thanks to having equipment that further boosts her magic. Considering Lufas is a close-combat specialist and that Dina's only countermeasure against those is to abuse Exgate, it's little wonder Lufas handled her with little issue.
Thinking Up Portals: One of her main assets is the ability to conjure up portals through the spell "Exgate". It allows her to teleport anything she wants to any location. She can even use it to redirect attacks should she choose to do so or even accelerate them such as Dawn Star during her battle with Lufas.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Lufas' Tomboy, being much more openly emotive and feminine in expression and tastes, including grumpily demanding a Bridal Carry and having a number of domestic skills that she uses for Lufas' sake.
Unreliable Expositor: Lufas gets most of her information about the world from her, but she's a pretty blatant double agent at the very least: Lufas privately suspects that not only does she work for the demon king, but may also be an avatar of the goddess.
Unskilled, but Strong: As Lufas points out, while Dina is indeed a level 1000 player like herself she doesn't have the actual experience necessary to fully utilize her abilities due to being a beta player who only tested the game rather than truly challenging it. She also only has the stats of a character who leveled up to 1000 but did not grind for stat-increasing items to go beyond the level cap, so even as a level 1000 she's vastly inferior to Lufas.
Welcome Back, Traitor: Lufas considers it amusing to have a shady traitor serve her, so she welcomes Dina back without hesitation after stomping her in a fight. Though the real truth is that she was forgiven because deep down Ruphas knows for sure she can trust Dina, who really was one of Ruphas's subordinates all along. The supposed betrayal was nothing of the sort.

Sei

Minamijuuji Sei

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/21944v5.jpg

After the first hero summoning accidentally unleashed Lufas onto the world instead, the country of Laevatein tries once more to summon a hero, this time succeeding by summoning an ordinary Japanese high school student. Due to his natural heroism, he's somewhat afraid but willing to do everything in his power to save the world from the demon king and the newly freed overlord, Lufas.

However, the moment he sets out on his journey, he witnesses an extremely high powered fight between the latter two that demoralizes the party. He also finds their conversation very odd and finds it difficult to accept Lufas is completely unreasonable or a true threat to the world, instead choosing to investigate the situation and speak with her so he doesn't 'point his gun at the wrong person' and be a man his father can be proud of.

Babies Ever After: With Virgo.
Bestiality Is Depraved: He sure didn't fancy getting engaged to a talking bear, no matter how much her beauty was extolled by her fellow beastkin. See Genre Savvy below. He should have stayed just a big longer.
Catch-22 Dilemma: If he wanted to defeat Lufas, he'd need to be around level 1000 like her. You can't reach level 1000 in a mortal lifetime no matter how hard you try thanks to having scaling EXP costs and the reproduction rate of monsters. To get there, you need to consume golden apples, legendary and forbidden items that're packed with mana. The only source of golden apples is Lufas. So to defeat Lufas, he'd need to go to Lufas and ask her to make the item that he needs to defeat her. Mhm, that'll go well. He considers this the second reason why attacking Lufas would be stupid.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: He'll help anyone who asks for it or needs assistance. This is what allows him to be summoned when he hears a mysterious voice out of nowhere asking if he's willing to come help them.
Deadpan Snarker: First seen when he describes Friedrich the Sword Saint as being no more than overgrown house cat thanks to his inability to speak and flighty behavior. He also notes that the usual cliche of female knights is that they're beautiful in addition to being strong, but when presented with the Lævateinn Knight Vice-Captain he refers to her as a female gorilla thanks to being an amazonian gonk.
Fearless Fool: Specifically averted. This is what he considers courage, meaning he considers himself cowardly for proceeding despite his overwhelming fear. He knowingly walks into situations that could easily get him killed because it's the right thing to do.
First-Person Smartass: Typically very polite and well mannered, but his inner monologue is quite sarcastic when it comes to evaluating his party. He compares a legendary swordmaster to a house cat while the female knight reminds him of a gorilla, though he's smart enough not to say either point aloud.
Genre Savvy
- He knows enough about isekai to get annoyed at how he has to level at the same rate as everyone else rather than get protagonist leveling cheats.
- He's aware that the overprotective Lufas installed a Pervert Revenge Mode function into Suzuki which will inflict a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on whoever pervs on Virgo, and that Lufas very likely knows Japanese. So, when faced with an enemy that his party can't handle, he exploits this mode by having the unknowing Virgo decry a pervert in Japanese, summoning Suzuki to her aid, and then calls himself the pervert while clinging to the enemy, causing Gundam!Suzuki to beat them both "to within an inch of their lives."
- This eventually comes to bite him in the ass, not that he knows it. His party gets credit for saving the guardian dragon of Draupnir, and he gets offered the hand of it's beautiful princess in marriage. The thing is, Draupnir is a country of beastkin and the royal couple are literally talking bears. See where this is going? He hightails it out of there...only for it to turn out that the princess is the daughter of the king's fourth consort, a beautiful human woman, so the princess actually looks like a very beautiful human girl with cute bear ears.
TL Note: Press F for Sei's love life.'
Good Is Not Dumb: Despite his natural heroism, he doesn't blindly believe what he's told. He quickly finds himself doubting the goddess and the claims that Lufas is the ultimate evil, earning Megrez' respect as a result. However, he also doesn't intend to blindly side with her without speaking to her first.
The Heart: He quietly considers it his mission to not just be the biggest muscle in the group (eventually) but also to make sure the party doesn't make any moral mistakes and keep them together.
Hero of Another Story: While Lufas is the protagonist, Sei is the classic isekai protagonist just beginning his journey.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: He doesn't consider himself brave but rather a reckless fool for still being willing to face the Demon Lord despite knowing how out of his league he is. If he were truly reckless he would have failed to realize his inferiority and if he were a coward he would have left the party like Gantz' daughter.
Magikarp Power: He's very weak at the moment and a threat to no one, but his starting class is the secret game breaker Hero, which normally requires eight hundred levels worth of four useless classes, meaning only someone who used paid items to level up four classes past their normal levels could usually unlock it. This would make them very weak, but then Hero has such massive growth that the only known example, Alioth, was still a top tier player. This causes Lufas to go out of her way to protect him because he might be useful. In her own words, "Just by levelling normally, this guy would be able to match my power level by the time he reaches level 1000." However, this is only from the perspective of the "sleeping" Lufas before she acquired her Limit Break ability. It is unknown how much this is true compared to the real Lufas.
Only Sane Man: His party is filled with aggressive and reckless fighters who don't bother asking important moral or tactical questions, leaving him to feel they're sure to screw up and do something irreversibly bad. This isn't their fault partially due to different values and partially due to implicit mind control on them, but it leads to a feeling of alienation.
Ordinary High-School Student: Prior to arriving in Midgard he was nothing more than a normal high school student.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He refuses to just be dumb muscle and goes out of his way to speak to several experts and people that know Lufas personally rather than just blindly assume she's a villain like his summoners would like. As the de facto leader of the hero party, this allows him to make at least a temporary alliance with Lufas rather easily despite her reputation and her terrifying minions. After speaking with her several times, he trusts her specifically but is very worried about Aigokeros and Scorpius since they're incredibly dangerous and cruel.
Running Gag: His inability to get a girlfriend seems to be turning into one. His first possible partner runs away in terror after watching Lufas fight the Demon King, his second has an entire squad of horrifyingly overpowered monsters keeping a close watch for advances on her, his third was a a talking bear except she wasn't and his chance to reacquaint himself with his first is ruined by one of his party members accidentally revealing himself to be a monstrous-looking spider demi-human. The poor kid just can't catch a break.

The Twelve Heavenly Stars

Lufas' direct subordinates during her time as Overlord. Most of them are rare monsters or event bosses that Lufas' creator was able to defeat and turn into her personal familiars due to her Monster Taming skill.

In General

Defeat Means Friendship: As already mentioned, most of them were subject to this.
Limit Break: With the exception of Libra and Virgo who aren't actual tamed monsters, the rest of the Twelve Stars are all capable of undergoing this for a limited time. Under regular circumstances their power maxes out at level 800, but when Lufas temporarily broke past the Goddess' level cap to power herself up to level 3000, it allowed her monster tamer skill to rise as well which in turn increased the level cap of the Twelve Stars to level 1000. This proved vital during the fight against Leon as the combined might of several level 1000s proved too much even for him under the Goddess' blessing.
Non-Indicative Name: Oh, there are indeed twelve stars and twelve "seats", but there are actually thirteen members due to the Gemini seat being made up of twins. On top of that, at one point there were only eleven seats due to Parthenos' death, causing Lufas' to wonder to herself if she should rename them the "Eleven Heavenly Stars" (this is solved with the addition of Virgo). On top of that, there is actually a hidden "Thirteenth Star", Ophiucus, whose existence is so secret that not even the Twelve Heavenly Stars are aware of her existence.
Theme Naming: Their names and titles are inspired from the Western Zodiac.
Undying Loyalty: All of them towards Lufas with the exception of Leon. Everything they do during the current story (such as Aries and Aigokeros siding with the Demon Tribe, Libra guarding her tomb, Parthenos kicking the flugels out from Vanaheimr) are all done out of sheer loyalty towards their mistress and anger towards those who betrayed her. Even the normally benevolent being that is Pollux considers the Seven Heroes to be traitors unworthy of being revived by her power.

Aries

Aries of the Ram

A rainbow sheep, a legendary but extremely weak type of monster that only appears once every few centuries. It's fleece is more valuable than gold, so they're normally quickly hunted. By nature they are also quite timid and Aries is no exception: Upon being discovered by Lufas, he simply waited for death without fighting back or fleeing until she taunted him into attacking her. Pleased, she took him under her wing.

He is overall likely the weakest of Lufas' Twelve Heavenly Stars despite the great care she took in raising and strengthening him. His element is fire and his specialty is endurance battles relying on his regeneration to outlast the opponent as he grinds down their health with Percent Damage Attacks. His personality is still timid and his human form looks like a cute young girl.

Big Brother Instinct: Develops one towards Virgo. Being that he's the overall weakest member of the original Twelve Stars, he's able to empathize with her the best and seeks to look out for her as she grows into her role as the group's newest member.
Dishing Out Dirt: Has the ability to create earthquakes.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Thanks to the suggestion of Lufas' old guildmate and friend, she ends up designing Aries' human form to look like a girl despite him being a boy.
Grew a Spine: When Lufas found him, he was resigned to be slaughtered for materials and lacked the nerve to fight back or even run away. Slightly amused, she baited him into attacking her before taking him in. Whether he fights or flees is his business, but he had to do something.
Honor Before Reason: During the battle of Syvallin, rather than going for a surprise attack, Aries makes a point to use his earthquake ability to announce his presence and declare war to the people of Syvallin instead. It's noted by one character that this is because he's emulating Lufas who did the same during her days of conquest.
I Ate WHAT?!: Karkinos serves him "crab soup" that turns out to actually be Barometz, a plant monster that resembles sheep during part of its life cycle. He is not amused.
Innocently Insensitive: When meeting Dina for the first time. As she herself puts it, Aries can say the meanest of things with all the innocence of a child.
Kaiju: His current rainbow sheep form is large enough to smash cities apart.
From Nobody to Nightmare: After being tamed by Lufas, Aries went from being a cute and cuddly rainbow sheep considered little more than a loot monster to a kaiju sized ram who could wipe out armies with ease.
Master of None: He's considered to be among the weakest of the Twelve Heavenly Stars because he was such a weak creature originally that even Lufas' personally raising the hell out of him can only do so much. His basic strategy is to weather the opponent's blows and regenerate and retaliate with Mesarthim, but his lack of HP, defense and supporting skills for this ability leaves him at a disadvantage against most opponents near or at his level. The only one of the Twelve Stars he could really take on 1v1 apart Parthenos is Scorpius thanks to his regeneration basically negating her poison and percentage based attacks circumventing her defenses.
"Not So Different" Remark: He relates himself with Virgo since Aries is considered to be the weakest of the 12.
Odd Friendship: He gets along very well with Aigokeros despite their natures being very different. This is likely because of sharing a genetic subfamily. Notably, out of all the Twelve Stars, Aigokeros only approached Aries to ask for his cooperation in seeking revenge for their master, and they are somewhat protective of each other.
Older Than They Look: Despite his young effeminate looks and childish demeanor, Aries is at the very least over 200 years old.
Percent Damage Attack: His Mesarthim inflicts a portion of the enemy's total HP as damage. The more health an enemy has, the more damage it does. In the present, most enemies have comparatively pitiful health, so the original Mesarthim sees less use than his variants which he uses like projectiles or as thrusters for flight.
Situational Sword: His most powerful attack skill, Hamal, inflicts 50% of the enemy's maximum HP as damage, ignoring all defense, but he can only use it once every 24 hours and only when his level is 1000, which necessitates Lufas to use her Limit Break, which by default confers a very small window of opportunity to use it. Additionally, it's still constrained by the cap of 99 999 damage. However, if Karkinos is incapacitated, he can buff one ally with his Altarf skill which doubles the damage of their next attack and allows said attack to break the damage cap. Under these very stringent conditions, Aries is allowed to become the most powerful offensively of the Twelve Heavenly Stars for a moment, surpassing even the likes of Libra and Leon, as this attack becomes an absolute HP to 1 attack (in theory it does 100% of the enemy's health as damage in this situation, but apparently Percent Damage Attack cannot kill unless the enemy is already at 1 HP).
Stone Wall: One of his specialties, based on his high defense and powerful regeneration. In practice, however, he's still fundamentally a weak monster with weak basic abilities, so he's one of the weakest of the Heavenly Stars with his specialty just not matching up well against any opponent.
Playing with Fire: He can cause heat waves around himself. He uses this ability to boil the dragon god defending Megrez' city slowly away to reduce its max HP and get around Megrez' healing ability.

Libra

Libra of the Scales

A golem crafted from treasures equipped to a mighty servant of the goddess Alovenus. Because she was crafted by the level 200 alchemist Mizar and because of special items used in her construction, she is well above the normal golem level cap of 600 and is Lufas' highest level minion at level 910.

She has the highest damage capabilities of any of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, capable of firing a Brachium beam that deals fixed 99,999 damage to one or multiple targets once per day, which is enough to kill almost anyone in the world in the first strike. However, other than this, her combat capabilities are quite low, so any opponent that can survive the first attack is likely to be able to defeat her.

Supposedly emotionless, but clearly isn't.

Achilles' Heel: As powerful a she is, level 910 to be exact, Libra is still a golem and thus lacks the ability to heal herself. As such, she has to rely on Lufas in order to do so. Her skill Brachium Discharge also cannot be used in rapid succession, meaning that a well prepared party could likely take her on and win under the right circumstances.
Arm Cannon: Her arm can transform into one.
Blade Below the Shoulder: When not using its cannon function Libra can instead transform her hand into a laser blade.
The Comically Serious: Thanks to being a golem.
Crippling Overspecialization: She's a one trick pony: If the opponent can survive Brachium, she's probably going to lose the fight. However, having enough HP to survive the single shot is pretty rare.
Deadpan Snarker: Stoic as she is, it doesn't stop her from mocking certain characters such as Karkinos with her words.
Implacable Woman: It doesn't matter where you hide or how far you run. The moment Libra decides to pursue a target, she will find you. One of the Seven Luminaries, Jupiter, finds this out hard.
Macross Missile Massacre: Once Lufas creates the necessary armaments Libra becomes capable of this.
Robot Maid: Has this aesthetic and plays the role well.
Shock and Awe: Her unique skill, Brachium Discharge, is her releasing powerful waves of electricity in order to roast her targets alive. It's also basically unblockable due to its 100% guard break attribute.
Unblockable Attack: Brachium Discharge as mentioned above.
The Worf Barrage: Brachium is effectively useless: Either she needs to take the opponent alive and therefore can't use it, or the opponent is so strong that a once per day 99,999 damage attack doesn't actually matter much. Lufas and Leon both simply tank it without worry because they have far more HP than that.
You Will Not Evade Me:
- It's impossible to escape Brachium once you've been locked onto by Libra, as complimentary to its firing sequence is the deployment of a containment field which both works to restrict collateral damage and prevents its targets from escaping Brachium.
- Libra herself is infamous for having a reputation of an unstoppable juggernaut who will hunt you down even to the ends of the world once she's got you in her sights. Best exemplified with her pursuit of Jupiter, who became so stressed and terrified he came within an inch of a complete mental breakdown.

Aigokeros

Aigokeros of the Goat

Basically the devil himself. Aigokeros is a sadistic devil hailing from Helheim, a ruinous underworld connected to the primary world of Exgate Online. His abilities are well rounded but with no particular strengths. His role in combat is generally to be offensive support by use of illusions and status effects. His attribute is the Moon.

Highly intelligent, but also quite cruel. It's indicated that he was recruited by Lufas so she could keep an eye on such a dangerous figure. His loyalty to her is absolute because he sees the raging mana surrounding her and considers her the ideal form of life. He's also surprisingly hot blooded and rash.

Anti-Hero: Of the Nominal Hero variety.
Battle Butler: Has this aesthetic, perhaps as a way to complement Libra's maid motif.
Cool Old Guy: He has the appearance of an elderly gentleman.
Fighting Your Friend: Despite considering him a comrade, he tries to kill Aries when the latter tries to prevent him from taking vengeance on Merak and his kingdom for turning on Lufas. This is quickly put to an end when Lufas herself calls Aigokeros out which results in him turning into a sobbing wreck.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Long, long ago he was just an ordinary goat kept by humans who lived in Helheim. They either died out or left, but Aigokeros stayed behind and mutated like all the other animals there. Now, he's basically the devil.
Living Shadow: Has the ability to hide within the shadows of others such as his mistress.
Hate Plague: One of his abilities is to amplify the negative emotions that people have within themselves. He uses this to help incite the white-wing and mixed-wing flugels against one another during his recruitment arc.
Hot-Blooded: Despite his gentlemanly looks he's actually quite the hothead.
Manly Tears: Ends up shooting geysers the moment Lufas comes to confront him.
More than Mind Control: As mentioned in Hate Plague, he can amplify the negative emotions of others but as he reveals he can't really control them either. Even if he lifts the spell, his victims are still likely to act on their negativity because it was always there to begin with. Aigokeros simply gave them a push.
Psycho Supporter: Totally loyal to Lufas, but has a horrible grasp of what she actually wants. Like when Lufas wants to capture Luna alive, he takes this as 'beat her to within an inch of her life and then drag what's left of her in front of the boss so that she can personally murder the small fry.' What would even be the point of that?
Spotting the Thread: As a master of arcane magic, particularly of the Moon attribute, he can tell with a single glance that demons are not a naturally occurring lifeform and only debatably alive at all. Only the demon king is different. This is why he views them with contempt and indifference: He knows the monsters of Helheim are far closer to real demons than these walking spells created by some unknown figure he does not know for a purpose he can only guess at.
Terrifying Rescuer: After Mercurius' power overdrive causes an unstoppable flood, most of the twelve stars present all turn into their kaiju forms. The only one who had a good reason to do so was Aigokeros, who turned giant in order to depower the flood by using up the ambient mana. However, given that this means a massive evil demon suddenly sprouted out of the mountain cackling about its evilness did not exactly reassure the observers.
Token Evil Teammate: While few of Lufas' team can be considered great people, Lufas herself is well intentioned and most of her subordinates would generally keep to themselves, setting aside their grudges. Aigokeros, however, is every bit as demonic as he looks. He was more than willing to kill Aries after the latter gets in his way and only stops when Lufas interferes. It's even noted that the only reason Aigokeros was even recruited into the Twelve Heavenly Stars was for the sole purpose of keeping him in check, with him becoming very loyal to Lufas being an unexpected bonus.

Parthenos & Virgo

Parthenos of the Maiden

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/parthenos.jpg

One of the dungeon bosses of a special temple dedicated to the goddess, her role is to be defensive support in combat and is thus considered the weakest of the Twelve Heavenly Stars in a direct fight by far. She was once a servant of the goddess Alovenus until Lufas dragged her out of the temple and forced her to see the true state of the world.

As the only human among the Twelve Heavenly Stars, she has a normal mortal lifespan and died a year before Lufas' seal was released. However, her ghost continues to fulfill a certain secret mission set by Lufas before her defeat. Her adopted granddaughter Virgo accompanies Lufas in her stead.

Barrier Maiden: It's through her power that the barrier that prevents people from entering Vanaheimr is held. Even in death as a ghost doesn't stop her from maintaining it in order to prevent the Heavenly Ouroboros that sleeps atop Vanaheimr from awakening.
Faith–Heel Turn: Inverted. She was a devoted believer of the goddess because her and the entire tribe of Aeneas (the original humans) had lived inside the goddess' temple for all their lives and thus were unable to see the true state of the world. Once Lufas comes along she forces Parthenos to come along with her and see for herself the hellhole that the continent of Midgard had turned into, causing Parthenos to lose her faith in the goddess and willingly join Lufas.
Long-Lived: As her granddaughter confirms, Parthenos died only a year before Lufas arrived at Vanaheimr. In other words, despite being human, she was able to live for over 200 years, and even then the reason she died wasn't old age, but because she choked on a fruit!
Older Than They Look: After Lufas finally arrives at Vanaheimr, she takes on the form of her younger self in order to greet her mistress. Both Lufas and Virgo initially don't recognize her because of this as they expected an older Parthenos instead.
Only Sane Woman: Is so far the only member of the Twelve Heavenly Stars to have not stirred up any trouble whatsoever. Even her kicking the flugels out of Vanaheimr was less about revenge and more about keeping them safe from the Heavenly Ouroboros under orders from Lufas herself.
Our Ghosts Are Different: Despite her death, she manages to come back via as a ghost and is still able to maintain the barrier that surround and protects Vanaheimr whenever needed.
Support Party Member: Her main setup. As described in the narration, her ability to be one is so good even for a boss that it's basically cheating.
Token Human: So far the only human out of the known Twelve Heavenly Stars. It's because of this that Lufas couldn't believe that she was still alive as 200 years had already passed since her defeat by the Seven Heroes. As it turns out, she isn't.
Undignified Death: As revealed by her granddaughter, she didn't die of old age. Rather, she ended up choking on a fruit of all things. Even Parthenos admits that it's an embarrassing way to go out.

Virgo of the Maiden

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/virgo.png

A young white-winged flugel and the adopted granddaughter of Parthenos. Due to her grandmother's death and subsequent revival as a ghost, she's nominated by Parthenos herself to take her place as a member of the Twelve Heavenly Stars. Though initially reluctant, she eventually accepts her role as the new "Maiden".

She's lacking in confidence due to being surrounded by freaks like Lufas and Libra, but at a starting level of 300 she's most likely the strongest normal mortal alive and is on par with the Seven Luminaries, though she doesn't really realize this.

Ambiguous Situation: Her pure-white wings are a clear sign that she's related to the royal line of the flugel; ie, she's actually related to Merak. However, the exact nature of her relation to Merak or how she came to be adopted by Parthenos are unknown.
Babies Ever After: With Sei.
The Baby of the Bunch: Between her age and level, she's this to the Twelve Heavenly Stars. Accordingly, Lufas and the other Heavenly Stars are quite protective and nurturing of her.
Curtains Match the Window: Pink hair and eyes.
The Cutie: She's rather sweet and kind, contrasting the rest of the party. She also has a very unassuming appearance. However, just as Sei is all geared up to protect her (not without at least some ulterior motives) he realizes she's way more capable of defending herself than he is.
Girlish Pigtails: Ties her parts of hair into a set.
Got Volunteered: Becomes part of the Twelve Heavenly Stars at her grandmother's insistence.
Interspecies Adoption: She, a flugel, was adopted by the human Parthenos.
Morality Pet: Lufas is very fond of her and quite overprotective. This manifests in things like ordering the Suzuki golem to make sure no boys mess with her to not offering her golden apples, which would likely have negative effects on her or at least her children, should she ever have any.
Overshadowed by Awesome: She has a timid personality and considers herself weak, but is over level 300 somehow. The trouble is that she compares herself to the likes of Lufas and Libra, who are among the strongest people alive even including gods. She's baffled to find herself destroying the Draupnir monster hunting competition and eventually decides it must be filled with weak, small fry monsters, when in reality there are monsters which could massacre whole towns if left on their own.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She has the looks and personality of a young teenage girl, but a quick examination of her stats by Lufas reveals that she's at level 320. That puts her on a level above most individuals in Midgard barring the remaining Seven Heroes, the Twelve Heavenly Stars, the Demon King, and Lufas herself.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: Pink hair and a nice girl at heart.
Support Party Member: Much like her grandmother Virgo's skills are geared towards supporting her comrades from the rear.
Unskilled, but Strong: She has very high basic abilities but her support based class and lack of experience means she struggles to face off against opponents who are at even half her level due to lacking the will to kill, showing hesitation when the chance to land a killing shows it itself.

Scorpius

Scorpius of the Scorpion

A scorpion type magical beast from a subset known as Emperor Berserk Scorpion. Her main specialty is wide area poison attacks and her element is Fire. At the start of the story she's allied with the demons in order to get revenge for Lufas after the humanoid races betrayed her and is thus on her way to attack Blutgang after destroying the country founded by Phecda.

After Lufas' supposed death, her hatred allowed her to surpass the normal level cap for tamed beasts of 800. These strong feelings fueled an unnatural rise in strength, but was her personality always this intense?

Antiquated Linguistics: In Japanese she uses an archaic first person pronoun when she refers to herself as Lufas' supposed mistress/lover.
Anti-Hero: Like Aigokeros, Scorpius is a Nominal Hero.
Beyond the Impossible: As familiars to Lufas, the Twelve Heavenly Stars are all limited to level 800 at their maximum. However, through her sheer desire to take revenge, Scorpius eventually managed to reach level 900. Lufas notes with incredulity at how that's even possible. The only other members to be stronger are Libra, who's at level 910 and a golem, and Leon, who is at level 1000 and he achieved that once he broke off his fealty towards Lufas. She's actually being buffed by the goddess. Once she joins back with Lufas, her level returns to being 800.
Brainwashed and Crazy: She shouldn't normally be so... passionate... but her love for Lufas was amplified by the goddess to put the two at odds with each other.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Her natural state isn't an obsessive murderer but rather just super clingy and prone to jealousy. Dina considers both to be Yanderes but dislikes the violent type, claiming that the normal Scorpius is "a perfectly good Yandere", with Lufas wondering what that even is.
Establishing Character Moment: Her first appearance in the novels almost immediately showcases her intense hatred for humanity and love for Lufas. In the manga, she's also shown decimating a suburb of Blutgang with her poison all with a sadistic smile on her face.
Poisonous Person: Her main specialty. It's stated that even her normal attacks are laced with poison, and that anyone who fights her needs to be prepared for a battle of endurance.
Power Born of Madness: The true reason she gained a hundred levels is because the goddess has been buffing her while simultaneously manipulating her emotions.
Psycho Lesbian: She's very fixated on Lufas and refers to herself as her mistress^note . Lufas is not exactly amused at her lesbian admirer's Yandere tendencies.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Towards humanity for turning on Lufas, much more so than her comrades. Where Aries had to be coaxed and Aigokeros tolerated working with the demons, Scorpius wholeheartedly threw her lot with their genocidal agenda.
Stripperiffic: Other than a cape, she only wears a corset and lingerie.
Token Evil Teammate: Together with Aigokeros, the two are the only overtly villainous members among the Twelve Heavenly Stars.
Yandere: Upon seeing Lufas revived, her first action is an instant attack intending to cripple her master so she can capture her and keep her safe. This puzzles the party somewhat because she wasn't usually this bad before. Her normal behavior is extremely clingy and jealous, which Lufas tolerates, but is otherwise fairly harmless. Unless separated from her.

Karkinos

Karkinos of the Crab

A crab magical beast from a subset known as King Crab. He's discovered with little fanfare in the mobile city of Blutgang while Lufas' group is attempting to stop Scorpius. While his defensive abilities are extremely high, he's a bad match up for Scorpius due to his offensive capabilities mostly being limited to counter attacks, which don't work on status effects like poison. Despite this, even at level 800 his defenses surpass those of Lufas herself and his counter attack is extremely powerful and hard to deal with.

His speech is strange and his personality is just as odd, but he's quite friendly and good looking. He's also fond of flirting with his master, to her mild annoyance and Libra's great anger. However, despite being teased by the others in the group for his limited usefulness he takes it all in stride.

Crippling Overspecialization: He's considered the best when it comes to defense... and not much else. He doesn't really have any offensive options that match the wide scale destruction that some of his comrades can achieve and is considered the slowest among them as well. Aries and the others are quick to point this out much to his chagrin when he tries offering his support to Virgo if she needs it.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite his behavior and being regularly mocked by his fellow Twelve Stars, Karkinos is well regarded as being the best defensive tank among the group. During the battle against Sagittarius, Libra makes use of him as a shield where he's barely scratched. He's also able to temporarily take on Leon by using his counter attack skill to deal as much damage to him as Leon does to Karkinos.
Did Not Think This Through: After Lufas' defeat he decided to work to gather more information in preparation for her return. His plan was to set up a restaurant and listen to whatever rumors flowed through the shop. A decent idea... setting aside that the place he set up was a city with almost zero trade with the outside world.
Handsome Lech: His human form is noted to be good looking and he constantly tries to hit on Lufas to no avail.
Large Ham: His elegant looks are ruined the moment he opens his mouth due to his eccentric behavior and dramatic attitude.
Situational Sword:
- Pretty much all of him. His only offensive skill is a Counterattack. Since his party is normally made up of overpowered monstrosities, there aren't many opportunities for him to do anything when his comrades usually steamroll anything they face. That said, if defense is a concern at all, his absurd sturdiness allows him to soak up damage for his allies, and if faced with a sufficiently powerful opponent, his Counterattacks are devastating.
- He has an even more situational skill. His Altarf is a buff that can only be applied to a single ally after Karkinos has already been taken out of the fight. Leaving aside how difficult it would be to get through his defenses, Altarf doubles the damage of his target ally's next attack and allows it to break the damage cap. In conjunction with Aries' Hamal (see the same entry on Aries above), this creates a brutally effective HP to One 2-skill combo when the stars align.
Stone Wall: His main specialty, as showcased when in his fight against his Scorpius where her attacks fail to even scratch his shell. The counterpoint, of course, is his low movement speed and lack of options outside defense and counterattacks.
Strange-Syntax Speaker: His speech is a weird mishmash of Japanese and Engrish.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With his comrades from the Twelve Stars in general. Most of them don't hesitate to poke fun at him and Libra often threatens him with physical violence whenever he makes moves on Lufas. Karkinos for his part takes it all in stride.

Leon

Leon of the Lion

The strongest among the Twelve Heavenly Stars and the only one of them to renounce his former supposed loyalty to her, thus he has regained his former level of 1000. He is the strongest magical beast and is on par with Lufas herself or slightly below. Currently, he is in conflict with Lufas' rival Benetnash as the two fight for supremacy.

Big Bad Wannabe: Thinks he's hot shit, but he's just a big rampaging animal that totally fails to realize that Benetnash would kick his ass and can't accept his inferiority to Lufas.
Blood Knight: Considering his desire to take down Lufas himself, he's definitely this. It's also revealed by Libra that both he's in a constant war with Benetnash as she's the only one capable of taking him on barring Lufas and the Demon King.
The Brute: Extremely aggressive and brash with a tendency to try to muscle through problems that need a more indirect approach. Appropriately, his fighting style lacks absolutely any finesse or grace. He doesn't even have skills. He relies entirely on his massive stats to take down anything in front of him.
Foil: While he and Benetnash superficially seem similar, at heart they contrast in just about every way. Both were born far stronger than their kind normally are, carry an intense desire to prove themselves against Lufas and secretly acknowledge their inferiority. However, how they respond to that varies.
- Benetnash doesn't even feel like she's the same species as the other vampires. However, while she does feel they're lower lifeforms, she's still intensely protective of them and they're very loyal to her as a result. Also, her "grudge" against Lufas is born out of a kind of twisted love and gives her life purpose in itself. She also has too much pride to allow the goddess to interfere in her battle, believing that if she can't win with her own abilities then dying is perfectly fine.
- Leon, by contrast, views other magical beasts as food or toys and while they did gather around him, he doesn't know or care why; he simply assumes that it's a given that they'll do so because he thinks it's natural to bow before him. His desire to defeat Lufas is also related to his wounded pride in not being the strongest. When she'd been gone awhile, he eventually stopped caring because he just wanted to be top dog. When getting his ass kicked by the Twelve Heavenly Stars, he accepts the goddess' offer for power because he has no pride in the way that Benetnash does, only wanting to be the winner.
The Friend Nobody Likes: The rest of the Twelve Heavenly Stars have always disliked him for obviously being The Starscream and having no true loyalty to Lufas. As a result, when he openly rebels they seem to relish the chance to kill him. The only reason they still try to leave him alive (if barely) is because he was still a vital member of the Twelve Stars and so Lufas should be the one to decide his fate.
He-Man Woman Hater: Seems to particularly hate Lufas not just for being stronger than him, but also for being female and having the gall to be stronger than him despite this.
Hypocrite: Believes in Might Makes Right, but when Lufas kicked his ass he refused to accept that he could possibly be weaker than her.
In Love with Your Carnage: Admits that he has a "hard on" after sensing Lufas' fight with the Demon King from far away. He even muses if she's trying to charm him.
I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: How he got Sagittarius to work with him. Either Sagittarius bows his head and does as he's told or everyone in the centaur village that Sagittarius founded will be killed.
Kaiju: His real form is described as being even bigger than Aries.
King of Beasts: A lion themed magical beast who's considered the strongest magical beast in Midgard.
No-Sell: Tanks Scorpius' deadliest poison and a Brachium to the face to little apparent effect, though he dodges Mesarthim since it's a percentage based attack and would actually hurt him quite a bit. This turns out to be a very stupid move: The poison is still working on him and he took the damage from Brachium head on, which end up letting him get his ass kicked.
Not Worth Killing:
- He treats Aries like this after he receives power from Alovenus, figuring Aries is too weak and cowardly to waste even an instant on him. This act ends up being his undoing.
- This is what he himself is subject to when he's finally subdued again. Lufas tells him to his face that someone who accepted power from Alovenus and was even then incapable of overcoming the Twelve Heavenly Stars is not worthy at all of fighting her, and thus not even worth killing in her book. However, part of this is a ruse on Lufas' part to direct Leon's actions while allowing him to keep his level, as actually forcing him to rejoin her would greatly weaken him.
Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: Karkinos serves as his natural counter and is able to deal heavy counter damage: Leon beats on him for a while only for every attack to be responded in kind and in the same order with interest. The sheer difference in specs means Leon would win eventually, but he only ends up bloodying himself after Dina heals Karkinos back up to full, creating a nasty Cycle of Hurting.
Redemption Demotion: Averted. Unlike Scorpius, Leon is not brought back into the Twelve Heavenly Stars after his defeat. Lufas left him out specifically to avoid this trope, as making him her tamed monster again would make the level restrictions for tamed monsters reapply to Leon, reducing his level to 800 and sharply reduce his stats.
The Starscream: Much like with Benetnash, it's noted that the only reason he even joined Lufas was just so he could have a chance to take her on personally after she subjugated him. After her initial defeat, he's so far the only one among the Twelve Heavenly Stars to have completely forsaken his loyalty towards his mistress, returning him to his original level of 1000.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius of the Archer

Officially known as a magical beast, the centaur Sagittarius is one of Lufas' more calm, tactical and intelligent followers. He specializes in long ranged attacks and traps, making him an opponent few would want to go up against. He is supposedly working for Leon to promote the rights of humanoids such as centaur, lamia and bugkin that are officially known as magical beasts because other humanoids think they're ugly.

Always Accurate Attack: His Alnast skill fires an arrow of light which violates causality in order to ensure it hits. The act of "releasing the arrow" is immediately followed by "the arrow hits". Travel time for the arrow does not exist because "the arrow hit the target after being fired" is a guaranteed result. This also means the arrow is an Unblockable Attack unless the target has defenses set up in advance. It's one weakness is that Sagittarius has to be able to see his target.
Cool Old Guy: Contrasts with much of the rest of the party by being a fairly plain or even unattractive old guy rather than being young, pretty or at least elegant.
Enigmatic Minion: Everyone finds it very odd that he would be working with Leon to aid "magical beasts." Not because he wouldn't believe in the cause, but because he would surely know that Leon is too stupid and aggressive to pull it off. It's also considered odd that he would announce this to Lufas' party because if he'd left well enough alone they might not have found out so soon at the very least.
Going Commando: When Lufas asks Sagittarius to assume human form, she completely forgets the fact that, as a Centaur, Sagittarius does not wear any pants at all. This results in him flashing everyone much to their horror.
Non-Indicative Name: "Sagittarius of the Archer", while indeed an archer, is actually a long-distance offensive magic specialist rather than a dedicated bowman. Libra is more of a sniper than he is.
Not the Intended Use: His Alnast skill is normally intended to be an Always Accurate Attack as the hit registers immediately once the arrow is released. He figured out that if he grabs the arrow right as he fires it, he will instantly travel through space to wherever the arrow was fired. He can even use this to carry a group of people with him! Using this trick, he managed to do what no one ever managed to do before: escape from Libra after she's analyzed and locked on to you.
Regretful Traitor: He actually doesn't like going against Lufas and the Twelve Stars at all. The only reason he's doing so is because Leon is holding his fellow centaurs hostage. After joining back with Lufas, he spends a significant amount of time lamenting his betrayal, though Lufas and the Twelve Heavenly Stars forgive him unconditionally once they understand his reasons.
Super-Senses: He can see over incredibly long distances, which is very handy when his signature skill has line-of-sight as a requirement.

The Seven Heroes

A group that Lufas remembers as her fellow guild mates back in the game. After Lufas achieved hegemony, there was an event where they overthrew her because the game was kind of boring with only one nation around. In the world the protagonist finds themselves in, they are famed heroes who overthrew a tyrant. However, their legacy is fiercely contested by some.

In General

Brainwashed and Crazy: The reason they turned on Lufas? It was Alovenus messing with their heads at the time.
Dwindling Party: Out of the original seven, only three of them remain. The others have already passed on due to age.
Handicapped Badass: After their failure to defeat the Demon King each of them were cursed by him and had part of their bodies disabled, lowering their overall level and stats by half as a result. They're still pretty much of the strongest fighters in existence regardless. Benetnash is the exception to this however.
Founder of the Kingdom: After defeating Lufas, all seven ended up raising kingdoms themselves.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Historians note that their overthrowing of Lufas during a time when humanity was still at war with the Demons was one of the biggest mistakes that they could have ever made. With the her gone, the Demon Tribe decided to invade soon afterwards as they no longer had to fear Lufas' presence. This allows them to capture over 60% of Midgard, turning 10% uninhabitable, and with the remaining 30% being left to humanity, and even then the latter are slowly losing ground with time.
Theme Naming: Each of them are named after the stars that make up the Big Dipper constellation.

Megrez

The Elven Sage-King who founded the Kingdom of Syvallin. By the time Lufas and company meet him he has already retired from the position of King and has delegated his former duties to others. Despite that, he still helps cater to several matters within the kingdom due to his reputation. He personally commands the golem that defends the city, a massive dragon made of water.

Having been defeated by the demon lord, his legs are almost completely paralyzed and his level has been cut in half. His personality is self loathing and full of regret.

Handicapped Badass: In his case, he lost the ability to use his legs. Still doesn't stop him from trying to take on Aries with just his familiar.
Making a Splash: His familiar Levia is a serpentine like being made out of pure water and becomes more powerful the more water there is. Conversely, it becomes weaker when there isn't.
My God, What Have I Done?: He deeply regrets taking down Lufas with the rest of his old companions as it resulted in the invasion of the Demon Tribe and 60% of Midgard being conquered by them. Even worse for him is that he can't even openly express these feelings to anyone else due to his position. He eventually gets over this after reuniting with Lufas and she tells him to hold himself with pride once more.
Retired Badass: Had already retired from his duties as King years before Lufas' revival. It's noted that him retiring so early despite being an elf is what caused the current level of corruption in Syvallin in the first place as his successors all turned out to be incompetent.
Stoic Spectacles: Wears glasses by the time Lufas meets him and is generally keeps a composed demeanor. Also serves as a way to differentiate him from the idealistic youth that he used to be to the guilt ridden cynic that he has become years after overthrowing Lufas.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Flashbacks show that Megrez was once an idealistic young man who wished for elves to be able to raise kingdoms of their own much like the other races. While he did get his wish, it ended up being run by corrupt government officials. This, together with his part in Lufas' downfall, turns him into a cynical and self-loathing man by the time Lufas reunites with him.

Merak

The Sky King of the flugel race, a man born to be king. The city he rules over was once the city exclusive to the darkened wing members of the flugels, but he accepted the white winged refugees after Parthenos booted them out of their ancestral home. His personality is timid and he cannot bring himself to take a decisive stand in the conflict between the two groups, so they're at near open conflict at the start of the story.

He himself is the primary defense of the city of Gjallarhorn, which is achieved through his high level and Coercion skill: Any enemy at or below half of his own level will be instantly paralyzed by fear, making it impossible to invade by army. He lost one of his wings to the Demon King when the seven heroes faced off against him.

Death Glare: Capable of giving one thanks to the racial skill of the Flugels. He directs a terrifying one towards the white-wing flugels responsible for bringing Jupiter to Gjallarhorn as he reprimands them for their foolishness and for taking advantage of his kindness in allowing them to stay in Gjallarhorn after Vanaheimr was taken over by Parthenos.
Grew a Spine: After being scolded by Lufas for his weak-willed behavior, Merak takes to heart her words and finally begins to act like the king that he's supposed to be after years of self-loathing.
Handicapped Badass: In Merak's case he lost one of his wings and thus the ability to fly. As with Megrez however, this doesn't mean he's completely helpless as he's still a level 500 veteran.
My God, What Have I Done?: More so than Megrez. While Megrez is also regretful for his part in Lufas' downfall over 200 years ago, it's noted that Merak is so full of guilt that he's likely to eventually die of stress one day unless something is done. Thankfully, he's eventually able to move forward with his life once Lufas talks to him.
Nice Guy: He's said to be the most gentle among the Seven Heroes. Deconstructed in that because of how gentle he is he ends up being taken advantage of by the white-wing flugels and has become a weak willed man by nature due to his guilt over what happened with Lufas.
Irony: As noted by Lufas herself, he's the king of the flugels (a race capable of flying) yet he himself is no longer able to fly. It's noted that he could still fly via magic, but it won't be the same as flying with his actual wings.
Reluctant Ruler: As Merak admits, the only reason he's even a king is because he was born into it and considers Lufas to be a much better fit as a ruler.

Alioth

The Sword-King who founded the Kingdom of Lævateinn and former leader of the Seven Heroes. He has long since passed away by the time the story begins. Having lost his sight and therefore the ability to fight, he used the Soul Succession technique to apply a powerful barrier to the kingdom that persists even after his death.

Also known as Nose Pasta for his poorly chosen stakes in a bet with Lufas.

Butt-Monkey: Snippets in the novels show that Alioth was pretty much this to his party mostly thanks to Lufas. He gets an Embarrassing Nickname because of her, once fell into a pit trap because of her, got hit by an arrow trap because of her, and even ended up the receiving end of Dempsey Roll from a Golem after Lufas evaded. Poor guy had it rough.
Embarrassing Nickname: "Nose Pasta" courtesy of Lufas. He got it thanks to a bet between them that he'd eat pasta through his nose should Lufas succeed in conquering the world. Little did Alioth know that Lufas would actually pull it off.
Eye Scream: Lost both of his eyes during the battle against the Demon King.
Field Power Effect: Capable of performing one through the use Soul Succession, a barrier skill exclusive to the Hero-class that drastically enhances the abilities of surrounding allies and subsequently weaken enemies as well during a battle and will last until it is over. However, the price of using it is the user's death. In the world of Midgard, this means they actually die.
Heroes Prefer Swords: A given considering the name of his class.
Heroic Sacrifice: As mentioned in Field Power Effect, the price of using Soul Succession is the life of the user. With both his eyes useless after his lost to the Demon King, Alioth decides to cast Soul Succession on the entire Kingdom of Lævateinn as his final act in order to protect its future. Even 200 years later the barrier still remains with Lufas noting that even in death Alioth is still protecting his kingdom.
The Leader: Of the Seven Heroes.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Being human, Alioth didn't really have any special advantages the way his comrades did. He also started with the Vanguard-class which had weak stat growths. However, through his use of it, Alioth became the first to unlock the secret Hero-class. Through its amazing stat growths and skills, he quickly became one of the best players in Exgate Online. It's because of this that Lufas initially guesses that the Demon Tribe will try to go after Sei, who's also of the Hero-class, in order to prevent him from becoming like Alioth.
Token Human: The only human among the Seven Heroes.
Posthumous Character: Long dead by the time Lufas revives.

Benetnash

The Vampire Princess and founder of the Kingdom of Mjolnir. She is the final surviving member of the Seven Heroes and as well as being their strongest member as she was not cursed by the demon king. She considers her rival to be Lufas and is overjoyed at the chance to fight her once more and have a conclusive ending to their relationship. Her country is currently locked in combat with the army of Leon, though she does not take him seriously.

Anti-Hero: Benetnash is an ambitious and highly individualistic individual.She has a great desire to achieve greater and higher power for her own personal interests. Feeling herself more special than others, she falls into loneliness and has difficulty relating to others. She also has a somewhat tsundere-like personality, which makes it difficult for her to express her feelings openly, tending to exhibit a cold and distant attitude towards others.
Blood Knight: More than eager for a challenge. She welcomes the idea of Lufas being revived just so she could have a rematch with her former guild leader. She's also noted to be at constant war with Leon as one of the few individuals who could actually threaten each other.
Field Power Bonus: During her fight with Lufas, she dispels the eternal night spell over the city of Mjolnir, both allowing her to restore the energy spent on it and allowing the light of the full moon to shine on her, increasing her power.
Hard Work Hardly Works: Averted. It's eventually noted that while all the other heroes consumed golden apples to reach level 1000, Benetnash got there through sheer stubbornness and feelings of rivalry towards Lufas. Note that going from 500-600 is said to require depopulating an entire continent of monsters and to suffer further diminishing returns after that.
Heroic Neutral: Mjolnir serves as the bulwark against the forces of the demons, but only because they assume she's hostile towards them and choose not to detour around her. She fights back when attacked, but otherwise just ignores the rest of the world.
Limit Break: Her real level is 1500 and can be activated for brief periods at a time. Notably, she's actually hit level 400 in one class.
Older Than They Look: Centuries old yet her appearance is that of a 14 year old girl.
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: How she views her relationship with Lufas. Ever since Benetnash was defeated by the former she became obsessed with wanting to settle the score between them, so much that she doesn't even consider the Demon King as someone worth her time.
Our Vampires Are Different: The vampires of Midgard are said to be beings closer to demons than humans, with Benetnash being the strongest of them all.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Has red eyes and is considered the most dangerous of the Seven Heroes.
The Rival: Described as being one towards Lufas and had the worst relationship with her among the Seven Heroes.
The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of the Seven Heroes unless one decides to count Lufas as an unofficial eight member.
The Social Darwinist: Believes that it's the natural right of the strong to dominate the weak and for people to perish for no reason other than because they are weak.
Tsundere: Considered to be such by the author because she genuinely likes Lufas, which she shows through desiring a fight to the death.
Worthy Opponent: Obsessed with Lufas because Benetnash has no clue if she'd win or lose against her. She's confident that while Leon would make her work for a victory it would still end in her win and is therefore uninterested in him. Whether she feels she'd definitely win or lose against Orm is unclear, but he also just mostly seems to annoy her.

Mizar

The Dwarven King who created who the Mobile Capital of Blutgang, Libra and numerous other marvelous inventions. However, he died long before the beginning of the story. He was a peerless alchemist who secretly worried that one day Lufas would surpass him.

Brain Uploading: Uploaded a copy of his mind into the core of Blutgang. However, it's noted that Blutgang-Mizar is not the same person as the original: The copy Mizar stayed like the original while the original went crazy thanks to the goddess, then half broke down after the effect wore off and he realized what he'd done. Eventually, he died after perfecting Blutgang's defenses, but the copy Mizar lives on.
Driven by Envy: The Goddess amplified his envy towards Lufas' brilliance at alchemy: While Mizar was the superior smith at level 200 Alchemist, Lufas was no slouch herself and he worried she might some day surpass him. In her limit break state it's shown that she does indeed have 200 levels in Alchemist, though she probably still isn't as good.
Fatherly Scientist: Well, blacksmith to be more precise. He considers all of his creations to be his children which becomes apparent when Blutgang-Mizar interacts with Libra.
Ultimate Blacksmith: His trademark among the Seven Heroes. In addition to being responsible for the creation of Libra, he also ended up creating the Mobile Capital of Blutgang.

The Demon Tribe

The Demon King

Orm

The final boss of Exgate Online and leader of the Demons of Midgard. His behavior has been oddly passive over the last two hundred years, though his subordinates carry out the war against humankind on their own in an attempt to win his favor. He shows little interest in them.

Black Eyes of Evil: Demon King after all. Subverted as he's not truly all that evil.
Enigmatic Minion: He stands opposite and nearly equal to Alovenus, but is still essentially a minion of hers fulfilling his role to be the demon king and keep humanoids and demons roughly balanced. Why the goddess is doing this is unclear, but Orm seems to dislike the job and has his own goals. That he is still known as the Demon King at all means he's gone off script and is pursuing his own goals. The Seven Heroes were supposed to defeat him and end the threat of the demons forever, but he went all out on them and then let them escape with their lives, ensuring a stalemate between the humanoids and demons.
Final Boss: For Exgate Online.
Forced into Evil: Him and the Demon Tribe in general. While it's true that some are entertained by the idea of murdering everything in sight, the desire to kill is actually part of the basic makeup of each demon and that if they don't kill then they die. Orm himself is the exception to this rule as he's basically their warden.
Friendly Enemy: While Pollux is the fairy queen that supposedly protected humanity through the ages, Orm has always been the boogieman figure opposing her. However, they actually get along quite well and often had tea together. In fact, he would always come to cheer her up after she had to send yet another hero their meaningless death, showing he actually cares about her mental well being.
Horned Humanoid: As befitting his status as a demon king he has two horns sticking out of his head.
I Let You Win: Throughout the ages he always played the villain role for humanity until a hero would rise up to take him down, which would always result in a supposed double kill. However, every time he throws the fight. This changed when Lufas showed up as she was actually powerful enough to genuinely defeat him at his strongest and survive the fight.
Meaningful Name: Orm is an old name for dragons and his true identity is the moon Ouroboros.
World's Strongest Man: Lufas herself aside, he's the only who's so far been capable of taking her on in a straight fight and actually hold his own which cements him as this. Lufas muses that it's only fitting considering that he is the actual Final Boss of Exgate Online.

The Seven Luminaries

Seven Demon Generals considered to be the strongest among all of their kind besides the Demon King. They are led by the Demon King's son, Terra.

In General

Informed Ability: Touted as some of the strongest demons in existence, yet so far two of their members have been defeated rather quickly and without much trouble. Though to be fair, Lufas and the Twelve Heavenly Stars are all several hundred levels stronger than most people in Midgard so anyone who faces off against them are quite likely to lose.
Theme Naming: Named after planets in the Solar System.

Terra

The son of the demon king and the most powerful among the demons after his father. He is at level 1000 and is almost a match for Lufas. Unusually for demons, his appearance is fairly close to human and he is increasingly unsettled by the current situation the demons find themselves in and his father's lack of concern for it.

All of the Other Reindeer: Implied. His skin tone is a light orange that makes him look pretty human. Luna disguises herself as a human even in demon territory to stay close to him, implying that his looks make him otherwise unwelcome.
Hero Antagonist: He bears no grudge against Lufas' group apart from annoyance at Aigokeros nearly killing his love interest and only wants what is best for his people. His personality is also seemingly reasonable and non aggressive.
Hero of Another Story: Lufas notes that he just screams main protagonist what with people a noble and heroic prince rescuing damsels in distress from evil demon monsters, at least technically. He's also working hard for the survival of his people.
The Rival: To Mercurius, sort of, romantically. Or rather, Mercurius would be his rival but knows that he's a Hopeless Suitor for Luna and doesn't even bother.

Mars

The first of seven luminaries seen, Mars represents the fire element. He's spent some time hanging around Aries slowly goading him into taking revenge on the humanoid nations. Has the appearance of a young teenager and about as rash as one too.

Black Eyes of Evil: Much more apparent than with Orm or Jupiter.
No-Respect Guy: Constantly considered an annoying idiot by the rest of the Luminaries, especially given that he's too dim to use any kind of disguise when interacting with people.
Older Than He Looks: He looks young but the manga shows that he was alive during Lufas' reign as the Overlord.
Oh, Crap!: His reaction to finding out that the one he tried to take on was Lufas Maphaahl.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Dies within the span of a single chapter after his introduction.

Jupiter

A demon who infiltrated Gjallarhorn in order to bring it down from the inside out through civil war. His element is Wood and he fights as an evasion specialist. His ultimate goal is to assassinate Merak during a moment of distraction.

Break the Haughty: He's quite arrogant and confident in himself, yet his encounter with Libra leaves him a sobbing and terrified wreck.
Unwitting Pawn: To Venus/Dina once he realizes that she had set him up to fail. He doesn't take this well.
We Hardly Knew Ye: As with Mars, he barely gets any characterization before he's quickly disposed of.

Luna

A crossdressing female demon among the Seven Luminaries. She hides her gender to be taken more seriously, though it fools no one. She's more of an assassination specialist than a direct combatant and furthermore knows she only has her position because everyone stronger than her got killed off.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When she and Terra are fleeing a possessed Pollux and her army she throws herself at Lufas' feet and begs for help. Not for herself, but for Terra.
Insecure Love Interest: She considers herself mostly useless because she does know that she's pretty weak compared to people who actually matter, but is still desperate to do anything she can for Terra. Unbeknownst to her, he actually feels the same way and if he comes across as cold or dismissive it's mostly because he wants to keep her safe.
Satellite Love Interest: Cutting out her relationship with Terra doesn't leave much else to talk about.
Subordinate Excuse: Mostly motivated be the desire to help Terra and with no expectation for reciprocation.
Wholesome Crossdresser: Dresses as a man, though not very well.

Spoiler Characters (Unmarked Spoilers)

The Goddess

Goddess Alovenus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/insert1.jpg

Introduced as the administrator/mascot character of Exgate Online, Alovenus is the goddess of the world Lufas finds herself in. Though she is worshiped by the people of this world, she offers no aid to the people beset by the Demon King and there is enmity between her and Lufas though the latter cannot remember why.

Big Bad: All indications are that she's the final boss, but it's not clear exactly what is going on or why she's doing anything.
Cap: Her HP is clearly shown to be at the stat cap as are presumably her other abilities. In the game, this was probably shorthand for 'You can't win. She's better than you' while in reality it's because this is her world. That being said, despite her apparent overwhelming strength she seems to fear Lufas.
Control Freak: Alovenus dislikes anything that goes off-script in her world. The flugel who could create Golden Appples were punished and eventually phased out because power-levelling disrupts the balance of her world, for example, and also the main reason why Lufas is her Archenemy: Lufas can make Golden Apples and distribute them so others grow beyond the constraints of her "script", and eventually made it her mission to be a thorn in her side, making herself the biggest rebel in existence in Alovenus eyes, and thus someone she has to get rid of.
Deus ex Machina: A Deconstruction: Alovenus will interfere with the world's "narrative" by enforcing typical tropes such as sudden power ups and abrupt changes of heart in the interest of keeping everything going according to her "script". However, this usually implies More than Mind Control and even Grand Theft Me in at least one case, and those who are subject to her manipulation are often horrified by their own participation afterwards (See:The Seven Heroes). The acts of Alovenus aren't portrayed as those of a benevolent mother goddess looking out for her children , but those of a tyrant who will subvert or destroy anyone who doesn't get with her program. This becomes doubly twisted when a scene from her point of view very strongly implies that Alovenus used to be truly benevolent, but turned to a rather dark form of Tough Love believing its the only way to make the people truly happy.
God's Hands Are Tied: She can channel power through other people just fine, but any direct action on her part lacks any semblance of control over scale. She could erase Lufas with ease, but if she did that, she would almost certainly erase the rest of the world with her by complete accident.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Very few characters actually know her motives or goals. Lufas did before and Dina and Orm do in the present, but very few others are truly aware of what's going on.
Kick the Dog:
- She takes over Pollux, uses her power to bring back the deceased Seven Heroes, and sics them on Lufas, knowing Lufas' sentimentality will not allow her to go all out against her former comrades.
- This also applies to her treatment of the Demon Race. They're actually created out of magic woven by Alovenus, so in essence they're no different from a magic spell. Even though they are sentient and capable of emotion (up to and including love), because Alovenus wills it, they are driven to attack and kill the humanoid races; should they disobey this instinct, they will die. Moreover, the Demons are actually doomed to fail because Alovenus will always make sure the humanoids win in the end somehow. Their struggles, personal histories and motivations are completely meaningless to Alovenus, as their sole purpose is to be an enemy for the humanoids to fight and struggle against before inevitably winning, even if it comes down to the darkest hour. To her they're a whole race of disposable minions for her "script".
Lack of Empathy: Being so far beyond mortals gives her trouble relating to them.
Man Behind the Man: She's behind the demons attacking the humanoid races with the only explanation offered early on are hints that magic in this world would not work without demons fighting and dying. She's also responsible for things like Scorpius going berserk.
Misery Builds Character: Essentially the pillar of "The Goddess' Scenario". Mortals won't really be happy if a kind God just zaps all their problems away every time they need her to. Instead, they'll find more meaning in life if they have to struggle and suffer for everything before finally achieving something...with the caveat that a certain Goddess will conveniently give a Designated Hero a little push to win the day if they need it. This creates a "narrative" where "the Hero(es) always win(s) over "evil", with all of said parties determined and even manipulated by Alovenus, giving mortals the impression that their actions and struggles are only their own. Thus, they do not attribute their suffering to Alovenus, and praise her for her favor when they're successful and joyous.
More Than Infinite: Alovenus' power level is completely arbitrary and just set to "bigger than yours". When Lufas, Benetnash, and Orm become Gods, their power and atributes become infinite... but Alovenus is still infinitely more powerful than them. Moreover she can "increase" it even more, becoming arbitrarily stronger than before without any limits, any number of times.
More than Mind Control: She can influence people's state of mind by exaggerating things like envy or fear, which is why people turned against Lufas. However, it's implied that she can't manipulate feelings people don't have and people who are aware of what she's doing can apparently reject her.
Start of Darkness: It's implied Alovenus used to be a truly benevolent mother goddess, but the realization that simply making life perfect for her children wouldn't make them truly happy (or grateful) is what made her create "The Goddess' Scenario".
Unskilled, but Strong: In terms of what she can do, she's pretty much omnipotent. However, she lacks any control over scale, especially on small scales. If she doesn't want to accidentally destroy her world, she has to work through other people.
Villain with Good Publicity: As the creator mother God, she is beloved by nearly every humanoid in the planet. It usually takes one to be on the receiving end of her special attentions one way or the other to realize that something is very off about her.
White Mage: Most of her abilities seen so far seem limited to buffing enemies of Lufas or using mind altering effects.
