"Masked Knights"
A group of people belonging to the Cultural Studies Club at the Prague University in Northern Europe. Following a mysterious light enveloping them during a bus trip to London, they were declared missing on Earth and transported to another world at the hands of a green-haired stranger. Masaomi "Masao" Kanai/Kamen Rider Zero-One
The protagonist of Kamen Rider Zero-One: Edge of Dawn. Currently in her final year at Prague University, she was mainly raised by her uncle who spent the majority of his life raised outside of Japan.
- Action Girl: Alongside Justinia, she's one of the only female Kamen Riders in the story.
- Cassandra Truth: Subverted. Masaomi thinks this is the case when she informs Rhea and Seteth she's from another world. To her surprise, they believe her since the previous Zero-One hailed from Hawaii.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Per
Word of God. Though it has yet to be revealed, the author compares her past to that of Airi Ban from Devil Survivor 2. - Former Teen Rebel: She's still a rebel as far as her parents are concerned. According to Masao, they are still angry that she dyed her hair.
- Hellbent For Leather: Wears a leather jacket as part of her ensemble.
- Instant Expert: Like Aruto, when she slaps on the Zero-One Driver and connects to Zea, she instantly knows how to use the Driver and become Zero-One to combat the Berotha Magia.
Kurogasa Kururugi/Kamen Rider Vulcan
An Original Character created and owned by Fenikkusumaru, the author of A Wizard's Fairy Tail and previous others before all except the former were discontinued and deleted. He came to Europe due to his father's work, but shortly after his father's death and his mother's declining health, he struggled to financially support himself. He is in his second-year at Prague University.
- Animal Motif: Like Isamu, his is wolves. He transforms into Kamen Rider Vulcan using the Shooting Wolf Progrisekey. His attire before his arrival in another world had him wear a beanie with a wolf on it as well.
- Berserk Button: He gets very incensed whenever somebody mispronounces his name.
- Blue Is Heroic: Wears a blue hoodie before he arrives in Gaspard and later swaps out for a blue coat. As Vulcan, the right side of his body is blue. In the Cold Open, he's also affiliated with the Blue Lions.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His father was killed in a construction accident via a steel beam falling on top of him. Shortly afterwards, his mother worked herself to the point where she became chronically ill and left him to financially support his family while paying for her medical treatments. After his mother's passing, life debts came crashing down on his head and was left utterly broke. With the exception of Masaomi and Cody, all of his friends eventually left him behind. By the time the group is sent to another world, he is still struggling to make ends meat.
- Heroic Second Wind: He is shitting his pants after someone's head is cut off and rolls at his feet and can do nothing but watch in horror as the Kuehna Magia kills the militia members and Justinia in front of him. When The End rewinds time and gives him and Justinia the ShotRisers, he's quick to pump the Magia full of holes.
Cody Aldrich/Kamen Rider Thouser
An Original Character created and owned by striberx, the author of RWBY: Ghost of Remnant. A member of the Cultural Studies club, he was among the first friends Masaomi made shortly after she arrived in Northern Europe.
- Adaptational Heroism: Not him specifically, but Thouser in Zero-One is used by a Corrupt Corporate Executive who was responsible for the incident that shaped the lives of Aruto and Isamu.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Downplayed. For the most part, Cody's Thouser form looks the same as Gai's, except the "face" is entirely silver with blue eyes, making Cody as Thouser look much more heroic compared to Gai's Thouser.
- Cassandra Truth: At first, Cody doesn't realize they're in another world and assumes that Acheron and his cronies are a bunch of murderous cosplayers. It isn't until after they escape the prison and see that the moon is a different color that he realizes they are in another world.
- Heroic B So D: After seeing the moon is a different color, and realizing that they're in another world, Cody is on the verge of a breakdown.
- Tempting Fate: He is the one who sparks up the debate about whether or not the club would want to undergo their very own "isekai" experience. Several minutes later, the club is sent into another world.
Justinia Pierson/Kamen Rider Valkyrie
The Cultural Studies club's supervisor. Originally from Taiwan, she studied at the Prague University and eventually became a teacher.
Kojiro Yukihara/Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata
The Cultural Studies club's supervisor alongside Justinia Pierson. He is of Japanese heritage, and is rumored to come from a yakuza family.
- The Stoic: He's not very quiet, but he is rather subdued and is almost always calm. The only things that have made him surprised or shocked so far is finding out he, his colleague and their students are in another world and witnessing Cody transform into a Kamen Rider for the first time.
ForceRiser Kamen Riders
The users of the MetsubouJinrai.NET ForceRiser affiliated with "those who slither in the dark." They act as the primary antagonists of Part I, supplying Kostas and the Western Church with Magia for them to use. Horobi/Kamen Rider Horobi
Jin/Kamen Rider Jin
Other Characters
Independant
The End
The woman or deity responsible for sending the Cultural Studies club to Fodlan.
- Mysterious Waif: She's responsible for bringing the heroes to Fodlan and giving them their belts. She's also capable of using the Divine Pulse, something only Sothis and Byleth have been known to do. She also sports green hair, further hinting that she is descended from the Children of the Goddess.
- Spanner in the Works: Implied to be the reason why she brought Masaomi and the others to Fodlan, as their presence in the Cold Open has significant changes such as Dimitri's apparent Adaptational Nice Guy and the Church of Seiros being present for the second Battle at Gronder Field. She also sent Kurogasa to Gaspard while Lonato is still deciding whether or not to raise arms against the Church of Seiros.
- Time Master: Like Sothis, she's capable of using the Divine Pulse. She uses it in Chapter 2 to save Kurogasa from death and gives him the ShotRisers so he can give one to Justinia and defeat the Magia.
