Ang

Ultimate Hacker. Portrayed by user komaedafx.

Maiko Hakuchou

Ultimate Ballerina (Portrayed by user korekiyotaka)

A sheltered and extremely innocent dancer (to the point where she seems totally oblivious to the reality of the killing game). Seems more interested in making friends and living peacefully in the academy rather than escaping, much to the other's annoyance. Acts especially kind to Nick, even after she stabs and nearly kills her at the beginning, out of her respect to Nick as the supposed "leader" of the killing game, and the belief that the two of them are best friends. Ends up being the first victim of chapter 1, killed at the hands of Michelle, and is posthumously exposed as being the traitor during the trial for her death.

Nick

Portrayed by user vs.korzuhara.

Nick introduced herself during the prolouge as one of the 'admins' of the chatroom they were gathered into, and took the blame up until Chapter One's trial where Ang discussed that she wasn't truly the ringleader between them. She has been portrayed to have two sets of personalities- one when she is off her medication and one where she is.

Her personality with pills seems to have an addiction to continuing the killing game, it is told later on during one of Nick's announcements that she tends to lose them, and she says herself that she cannot find any in storage in the beginning of Chapter 2. Her personality is fluctuated around her sadistic side, and she shows complete confidence in herself when she's on them (For example: the broadcasting of the first motive.) She is shown to be outright insane(EX; First Execution)and proud of that.

Her actual personality is shown to be easily-stressed and nervous, caring for the students and their happiness more then her own well-being. She is like a mom to the students, yet forces herself to continue the killing game due to 'safety' reasons. She is more wary and unfocused, and easily distracted and upset by anything thrown at her.

In the prologue, Nick explains that the entire academy is still under construction- and that they’re going to remain in the classrooms until so. To their disbelief, Nick took advantage of their fear and showed how serious she was by showing up in Maiko’s room. After she asked her to choose a number, she gained a hug and a stab to the back, saying that the fourth popular cause of death in games in Backstabbing and Betrayal. After so, she patched her up and threatened her her life if she didn’t agree to become the traitor, without hesitation Maiko agreed and Nick remained silent about what happened.

During Chapter 1, it is shown that she took a liking to Maiko due to her white knight praise, and is shown completely broken over her death and having took way more pills then she needed which caused her to become bloodthirsty during the first execution. The other students appeared to pity her until she was back on her pills again. She repeats herself multiple times that she cannot remember half of the trial at all, and had to re-watch the tapes of her execution to get any memory of it.

In the beginning of Chapter 2, Nick introduces the motive and to her luck it lands on Evan, somehow due to her misplacing of the pills, rather then torturing him ; She and him had a conversation of her past killing games. Nick promised to personally ask Sensei to go easy on him, since she felt that after speaking to him he truly didn't deserve it thanks to how kind he was to her. Her liking to him grew, and the day after Evan's torture, she treated him and fed him, bringing him to the Nurse's office where Evan stated that he owed her, in response to it, she asked for a kiss and after a while, they promised each other that they would be a happy couple after the killing game was put to an end. Her dream is to go to space with him and meet the aliens, as discussed after her becoming upset over the other participants reactions to their new-found relationship.

Sensei

Ultimate Writer. Portrayed by user saiguuji

First introduced due to Chapter 2's motive, Sensei seemed to have an attachment to Nick due to unknown reasons, and hold grudges against all the students-for more unknown reasons. Sensei's entire existence was unknown but questioned by the students in the first trial asking why there was an extra podium-assuming Nick was going to join. She doesn't join the chatrooms much, due to her hatred and grudges for all the students, and is called a 'extreme sleeper' by Nick thanks to the same reasons.
