Class 3-F
Cayetana 'Kaya' Morgan
Played By: GMPC
Class: Geomancer Lord
Race: Kamuy
- Childhood Friends: With Steven.
- Elemental Powers: As a Geomancer, she can draw upon the elements near her to use attacks.
- Nice Girl: Kaya is a sunny, genial girl who does not hesitate to help her friends out in need.
- Shout-Out: Her Arte is this to the Makoto Shinkai film Weathering With You, along with her Personal Skills. She was also specifically modeled after the female heroine of the film.
- Weather Manipulation: Her Arte, Raincaller, allows her to call down or chase away rainstorms.
Lara 'Rika' Riesenberg
Played By: SeriousConcentrate
Class: Conjurer
Race: Fera (Bovis)
- Country Mouse: Her characterisation, as a woman from rural Rheinberg turned student at the highly prestigious Solrise Academy.
- Statuesque Stunner: One of the biggest characters in the cast, and certainly not bad-looking.
- Team Mom: Rapidly becomes this due to her attitude towards everyone else.
Orrel Sokolov IV
Played By: swordstar
Class: Sword Disciple
Race: Fera (Avis)
- Berserk Button: Do NOT hurt his brother Arnett or in anyway make him feel hurt. Kruger learns this the hard way.
- Big Brother Instinct: His attitude towards Arnett.
- Book Dumb: Downplayed; Orrel is quite good with intellectual subjects where they have to do with combat. Where they do not, however, he flounders miserably; this is the explanation for him having been held back from graduating from Solrise Academy.
- Improbable Weapon User: He uses war fans as his primary mode of combat.
Arnett Sokolov
Played By: RedMageCole
Class: Artist
Race: Fera (Avis)
- Art Attacker: As an Artist, he can create an Imago that attacks for him.
- Cast from Sanity: It's heavily implied that his Arte, Mental Degradation, takes a toll on his psyche to boost his Imago's powers.
- Shrinking Violet: Incredibly shy, with very little self-esteem.
Kruger Ludwig Wallhaim
Played By: SirAston
Class: Cadet
Race: Homid
- Big Brother Instinct: Developing one to Arnett.
- Brutal Honesty: One of his first acts in the game towards Arnett, when he wasn't convinced of the latter being capable on the battlefield.
- Byronic Hero: In most aspects save the charisma. While his Brutal Honesty and tendency towards the pragmatic aren't motivated by evil, on the other hand other people (who are unaware of his true motives) tends to view him as a Jerkass.
- Failed a Spot Check: Took Isabeau's claim of being a princess of the "Tenebrous Kingdom" at face value.
- Glory Seeker: As part of his goal to become the future leader of the Rheinberg Confederation.
- Hates Their Parent: Doesn't have a high opinion of his father, Rheinberg's war minister Radolf Armin Josef Wallhaim.
- Inadequate Inheritor: Both by fate and by choice. He's a second son, limiting his inheritance prospects, and he willingly sabotaged his own appeal to not become a suitable candidate for political marriage.
- Make Me Wanna Shout: His Arte allows him to amplify his voice, but lacks Required Secondary Powers to allow him to go lethal with it.
- The Paladin: Gameplay-wise. A physical melee all-rounder that excels at protecting adjacent allies with his Dragon Ward+ skill and buffing the damage/healing of nearby allies with Combat Order: Concentrate Fire.
- Royal Rapier: His preferred weapon.
- Sword and Fist: By virtue of being a Cadet.
- Shield Bash: Tends to wear both swords and shields, so using a Fist weapon can be interpreted as this.
- The Stoic: A quiet, unemotional man.
- Ventriloquism: Invoked. Has been shown to be able to displace his voice with his Arte.
Mordecai Hoth
Played By: Sirus
Class: Shaman
Race: Belgor (Vampire)
- Bad Powers, Good People: His power involves draining the life force out of other people to heal himself. Mordecai is intensely devoted to the cause of destroying the Fiends and is more concerned about making a bad impression as a Vampire.
- Fantastic Racism: The Belgor suffer this in setting and Vampires even more so. As such, Mordecai is afraid of this trope befalling him. Averted in practice, as most people don't seem to care about his race.
- Life Drain: Mordecai's Arte allows him to drain someone else's life force to heal himself.
Sieglinde 'Lin' Weylan
Played By: Chevaleresse
Class: Artificer
Race: Belgor
- Artificial Limbs: Her leg is artificial.
- Berserk Button: Do NOT touch her stuff. Astrea moves the stuff she leaves in her room and almost gets set on fire for her troubles.
- Also has a subtler, but still present emotional reaction to scientists and doctors.
- Cast from Hit Points: Her Arte continuously damages her when in use.
- Dark and Troubled Past: She isn't very open about it, but it is clear that Lin has borne witness to at least one tragedy, especially given some event when she was young took her leg.
- Emotional Powers: Lin's Arte is deeply tied to her emotional state; it manifests more strongly if she is angry or otherwise distressed, and enhances her emotions to boot, creating a dangerous feedback loop. Preventing it from firing off when she doesn't want it to or going out of control is part of why she came to Solrise in the first place.
- Expy: She's based on Ifrit and Vulcan, taking Vulcan's skill at smithing and physical appearance with Ifrit's fire-based powers and several things associated with them.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: Her Arte raises the heat of everything in her area, including herself, which does actual harm to her in both game terms and injuries suffered in-character.
- Horned Humanoid: Lin has unusually prominent and distinctive horns for her species.
- Living Emotional Crutch: Vicky was this to her before the other girl was Put on a Bus. She's notably more sullen and temperamental without her lead singer around.
- Major Injury Underreaction: Lin casually mentions suffering burns to her organs. The only thing that bothers her about this is that she said it out loud, because she thinks someone might make a big deal out of it.
- Mighty Glacier: Lin's build eschews Speed entirely, and her Personal Flaw causes her to lose movement. Instead, she relies on the numerous effects of her Arte combined with high defensive growths to contribute to fights.
- Playing with Fire: Her Arte Muspellheimr. It's mentioned that, unlike Annika's Arte, her Arte actually works by raising the temperature of the surrounding area.
- Required Secondary Powers: Averted. Lin isn't any more heat- or fire-resistant than her classmates, which causes her power to be deterimental to her health.
- Trash of the Titans: Her dorm room, until Astrea cleans it up much to her chagrin.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Downplayed. Lin suffers from intrusive thoughts and hallucinations if she goes overboard with her Arte.
- You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Despite her quiet attitude, Lin has an explosive temper that sometimes goes off for seemingly trivial reasons, like moving her stuff around. Not only does she physically lash out, her Arte tends to activate uncontrollably in this state.
Delwyn Green
Played By: Gaterhyme
Class: Lance Disciple
Race: Kamuy
- Camera Fiend: Delwyn's favorite hobby is taking photos of just about everything.
- Mellow Fellow: Delwyn is incredibly laidback and almost serenely unmotivated.
Mus'ad Wyrm
Played By: kj1225
Class: Seer
Race: Fera (Dracis)
- Combat Clairvoyance: Fluff-wise, his Arte operates like this, allowing him to warn his allies of future happenings.
- Winds of Destiny, Change!: Mechanically, his Arte allows him to automatically set the result of any roll.
Reeve von Anextra Polyion III
Played By: GodofGamingRWBY
Class: Mage
Race: Homid
- Badass Boast: Quite fond of these, to the point of referring to herself as "the Great Angel of Flame".
- Large Ham: Though not to the extent of Isabeau, Reeve is prone to overdramatizing trivial matters and hyperinflating her own abilities.
- Playing with Fire: Specializes in Fire magic, and is quite proficient in it
- Squishy Wizard: Incredibly hard hitting, with high magic and skill coupled with an Arte that increases her damage and crit chance the more she hits without missing. But put her in a stiff breeze and she'll break fairly quickly.
Cattleya Chatgeant
Played By: GiglameshDespair
Class: Mercenary
Race: Fera (Felis)
- Action Bomb: Cattleya's Arte Clawsplosion turns herself into this, at the cost of reducing her HP to one and damaging enemies for the difference between her previous and current health.
- Berserk Button: Do not mention anything about cats in front of her.
Astrea von Celeste
Played By: Aurorix
Class: Pegasus Rider
Race: Kamuy
- The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest member of Class 3-F, due to having been moved up a year.
Victoria 'Vicky' Bathory

Freddie Jones
Race: Homid
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": He's not Frederick, he's Freddie. Only his mother calls him Frederick.

- Rebellious Princess: The heiress to the Kuriyama Conglomerate who fled. She and Joel met and decided to attend Solrise together.
- Red String of Fate: Her Arte Fated Bond invokes the imagery, allowing her to connect to allies and enemies. Enemies connected to her through Fated Ribbons take half the damage they inflict on Himiko or her allies, while allies receive half the damage Himiko deals as healing.
Tobias Larson
Race: Belgor
Christine Nelissen
Race: Salis
Class 3-C
Maximus Schmidt

- Beware the Quiet Ones: A quiet, shy boy. He's also an Andvar, making him naturally larger and stronger than most other people, and his Arte Explosion inflicts damage in a massive area of effect.

- Ship Tease: Has some with Kaede, who he even attempts to raise a puppy for for her birthday knowing she likes dogs.

Alicia Xiao

Class: Fighter
- Expy: Of Shaw.
- Motor Mouth: Alicia speaks so quickly that her words are rendered with no spaces in between them.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite her small size, she's mentioned to be quite strong, and her Arte Repulsion lets her push far larger opponents away.
- Shrinking Violet: Downplayed, in that her primary issue is finding it difficult to speak in front of large crowds due to her Motor Mouth.
- Super-Strength: Repulsion manifests as this, allowing her to throw opponents of greater size and strength away.

Jackson Sloane
Race: Homid

Joel Harvey
Race: Fera (Simis)

Theodora Kokkinos
Race: Homid
Class: Lance Disciple
- The Ace: To a lesser extent than Steven is portrayed, but Theodora is generally given a wide berth due to her talents.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: After the fight in which her class is defeated by the players, Theodora is then challenged in a series of consecutive fights by Orrel, Cattelya and Astrea. She beats them without even breaking a sweat.
- Even the Girls Want Her: It's mentioned Theodora has many admirers, and Lin definitely has a crush on her.
- Expy: Of Pyrrha Nikos; both are renowned red-headed tournament fighters with fearsome reputations, their names are Greek-themed and Theodora even uses her Arte in a similar way to how Pyrrha uses her Semblance in most fights.

- Heroic Self-Deprecation: One of his dislikes in his profile is mentioned to be himself.
Idunn Sturlusdottir
Race: Andvar
Class: Brawler

- Energy Absorption: Idunn's Arte Absorption allows her to deal more damage the lower her health goes due to her absorbing the energy to deal more damage.

Other Characters
Isabeau du Archambault
Race: Homid
Class: Huntress
- Chuunibyou: Heavily implied to be one, given her mannerisms, claims to be a princess of the Tenebrous Kingdom which definitely doesn't exist in Parvain. Kaede even compares it to a novel.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: See above. Everyone is utterly baffled by her.
- Expy: An Chuunibyou archer with an animal companion who wields magic? Are we talking about Isabeau or are we talking about Fischl?
