!Paca
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiroTsuda

The one of the main antagonists and head of the 13th District in this real life 'livestream' of "The Ones Within - Genome".
----
* AffablyEvil: He is a pretty nice and funny guy when it isn't something to do with being in a death game.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be a nice guy to be with, but he is the BigBad for a reason. [[spoiler:Even the minor villains like the grandfather ogre or a man-eating mimicry plant will come to understand how dangerous he is if/when they cross him.]]
* BigBad: The focused main villain in the series, as he looks after Akatsuki's group. However, he is just one of the many observers of this death game.
* BodyHorror: According to Paca, [[spoiler:his whole body has been burnt so horribly that he has to cover up his whole body so that the sunlight doesn't hurt him]].
* CoolMask: He wears a rather tall alpaca's mask.
* CovertPervert: That's how everyone sees him whenever this guy tries to get [[{{Moe}} Himiko]] for himself (and Paca's appearance 'does' get creeper when he does it).
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He is shown to be very caring towards the protagonist Akatsuki ([[AllLovingHero who also cares about him in return]]). [[spoiler:It goes as far as the BigBad performing a VillainousRescue on Akatsuki when the kid was about to be killed by an ogre during the 5th stage. He was willing to go as far as interfere with his own game just to save Akatsuki!]]
* EvilIsPetty: While he did put his participants through some pretty horrible scenarios, he has also punished Anya a number of times by [[DoesNotLikeSpam putting bell peppers in the latter's meals]].
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:Despite having his head brutally smashed by Kaikoku with an umbrella, he shrugs it off before delivering Kaikoku and Zakuro a terrifying DeathGlare. And he did that while casually turning his head almost backwards, as if he temporarily gave himself a NeckSnap!]]
* StrongerThanTheyLook: He can casually evade attacks, bend metal pipes with his bare hands, and shrug off attacks on him like it's no big deal.
* [[spoiler:VillainousRescue]]: [[spoiler:He interfered in his own game in order to save Akatsuki from being killed off in the 5th stage.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:Supposedly, his skin was burnt so badly that sunlight can hurt him.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaikiYamashita

The protagonist and a cheerful first-year high school boy specializing in escape games.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Yuzu, whom he befriended after a co-op "Let's Play" in the past, calls him "Akki."
* AllLovingHero: He does his darndest to be friends with everyone, be they human, [[BigBad his very dangerous captive]], colossal pandas, or even spirits trying to burn him.
* AnArmAndALeg: Well... He didn't really lose any limbs... [[spoiler:But his right arm was broken by a large grandfather ogre.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As a result of being an airhead.
* [[spoiler:DeadGuyJunior]]: [[spoiler:His real name is Akira. However, his adoptive mother called him Akatsuki as a result of treating him as a ReplacementGoldfish for her deceased blood-related son.]]
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: It's no surprise that this overly-friendly NiceGuy is able to even get along with the {{Mastermind}} Paca.
* ExpressiveHair: At one point in the story, his IdiotHair shaped itself into a heart when he was expressing his love and gratitude towards Pantarou, a giant panda. His hair also flattens when he is sad or depressed.
* FriendToAllChildren: The 9th Stage proved that this is his trope, considering how well he could get along with children.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: At the very first chapter, when he was forced to participate in a game of killing large animals or insects, the first thing he did was befriend a panda that was as big as a mountain!
* IconicItem: The sick mask that he always wears, in case he suffers from his allergies.
* IdiotHair: Yes, he has an ahoge.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:It is revealed that he doesn't remember his childhood before and during his days as an orphan.]]
* NiceGuy: And one of the nicest person at that, with his classmates saying he is able to befriend even a burglar who broke into his house.
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:With Makino, as both of them know how it feels to not truly be loved. For Makino, while his crush Koizumi Sumire does care about him, she doesn't 'love' him the same way he loves her. For Akatsuki, he is only treated as a ReplacementGoldfish by his adoptive mother for her deceased child, so she cares about her real son and not the adoptive son in front of her.]]
* OddFriendship: [[AllLovingHero Him]] and [[HairTriggerTemper Kudo]] become fast friends thanks to Iride offering to eat Kudo's [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment bell peppers]].
* [[spoiler:ReplacementGoldfish]]: [[spoiler:His adoptive mother treated him as if he was her deceased son, going as far as change his real name Akira to her deceased son's name Akatsuki.]]
* SkewedPriorities: He was devastated of not being allowed to participate in 6th Stage of the game, clearly despairing that his perfect-attendance in the game was shattered. Karin had to point out how stupid he was for acting like that since the reason he was being left out of the game this time was because [[spoiler:he was suppose to recover from his broken right arm]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkariKitou

A tempermental first-year high school girl specializing in horror games.

* DefrostingIceQueen: At the very least, by the 4th volume, she's warmed up enough towards Akatsuki that she hasn't hit him in a while.
* HairTriggerTemper: She sure is scary when she's angry... Maybe it's because she's a {{Tsundere}}?
* NightmareFetishist: Subverted. Sarayashiki's the horror specialist... but she's the ''worst'' at dealing with any round that's even remotely scary. As she puts it, liking horror games doesn't mean she actually ''wants'' to be in a horror game herself!
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves her pudding.
* {{Tsundere}}: While she tends towards violence, especially with Akatsuki at the beginning, she does show signs of a warmer side.

----
* AffectionateNickname: Yuzu calls him "An-bou."
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: When he was forced into a stage where he must tell truthfully about what are Akatsuki's good points, he indirectly reveals that one of the reasons he cares about Akatsuki is because the latter didn't treat Anya any different [[spoiler:despite the former suffering from an insomnia disorder]].

----

He was only cared for by his neighbor, Koizumi Sumire. However, despite caring for him, Koizumi didn't 'love' him the same way he was in love with her. This is what hit Makino especially hard when he found out about his crush having got married to someone else.]]
