* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He is first met by Al'e and L'gol when they're dying of thirst, who immediately says it's great they're here for no discernible reason and launches into a long talk about his backstory, oblivious to their condition and forgets about the monsters chasing him until they're upon the party. After they defeat the monsters, Pulche then takes an interest in the Steel Primal they summoned, correctly ascertaining Al'e's monster-capturing powers and what the Steel Primal is, demonstrating his a research into monsters--all at MotorMouth speed. But when L'gol finally tells him to spare water... he says that he doesn't have any. Thank goodness they were saved by a passing caravan after they all fall unconscious.
* MotorMouth: Upon his first meeting and him excitedly wondering about how Al'e summons the Steel Primal, the Game Master has to recite three cards of text at a speed way faster than her usual relaxed tone.

!!The Would-Be Hero/Ash
The main protagonist and leader of the group of adventurers that band together to stop the dragon. Rude and self-serving, his real aim is attaining a massive amount of wealth.
----
* CanonName: While you can name him whatever you want, all official materials refer to him as Ash.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Ash comes from a destitute family who used to live in the Village of the Sick. An attempt to escape the village results in the Ivory Order capturing the family and forcing them to ingest untested medicines, leading to the deaths of his parents and his twin sister Mar transforming into a monster.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Ash isn't exactly the friendliest person around. For example, his immediate response to a monster researcher confessing that his daughter died of illness is to either demand a thank you for bringing back the doll that was stolen, information about the dragon or a reward.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be selfish and greedy, but he isn't without compassion. He cares deeply for Mar and goes through an entire detour to save Mar from the effects of debilitating poison, and it's shown subtly throughout the later parts of the adventure that he treats his allies like TrueCompanions.
* MoralityPet: Mar, [[spoiler:especially after TheReveal behind their backstory.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Ash is obsessed with money, and will do just about anything for a decent reward, whether that's fulfilling certain quests or stealing a treasure hoard from thieves.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:While he was lucky enough to survive ingesting the experimental medicine without any of the more dangerous side effects, the shock of what happened to his family in addition to the medicine caused him to suppress the memory of his DarkAndTroubledPast.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mar]]
A strange creature that's rarely seen without Ash.
----
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Mar is Ash's twin sister, transformed into a monster after being forced to ingest medicine that her body wasn't capable of taking.]]
* BigEater: During Chapter 2, Mar completely devours an entire buffet and drinks an entire huge bucket of water in one gulp. [[spoiler:In the ending where only she's returned to human form, it's mentioned that she still has a massive appetite. In Ash's flashbacks to his childhood, he and Mar argue with their parents over wanting more food, suggesting that she always had this trait.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Chapter 4, Mar is incapacitated by a knife coated in a poison that is noted should have no effect on them [[spoiler:as it only affects humans.]]
* GenderReveal: [[spoiler:Despite going by male pronouns for half of the game, when it's revealed that Mar is Ash's twin sister turned into a monster, the game starts calling Mar "she".]]
* MeaningfulName: The word "mar" means "to disfigure" [[spoiler:reflecting that her current body isn't her true form.]]
* TheQuietOne: Aside from a few monster-like noises, Mar doesn't really talk. [[spoiler:Considering Melanie stops talking after turning into a monster in the ending where Mar is returned to normal but she isn't, it might be symptomatic of all monsters.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Melanie]]
A proud and taciturn witch seeking the dragon in vengeance.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:She uses forbidden magic during the final battle, causing her to turn into a monster that possibly resembles a dragon considering the representative card showing her mid-transformation has her growing scales all over her body. In all but two of the endings, it's permanent.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:The dragon killed her mother, hence why she's so hellbent on killing him.]]
* FantasticRacism: She despises all monsters, even assaulting Mar at first sight.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She uses forbidden magic in order to turn the tides against the Dragon, which causes her to turn into a monster shortly after the Dragon's defeat.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Between Ash's greed and Ridis's air-headedness, Melanie remains the only serious one in the party.
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler:There's only a card showing her in the process of the transforming into a monster, so unlike Mar, just exactly what she turns into isn't revealed visually or even through description.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of adventurer guilds, [[spoiler:especially when the origin of their famed medicine comes to light]].

* ThemeNaming: All of the members have "wyn" somewhere in their names. "Wyn" is white in Welsh, befitting their status as members of the Ivory Order. Notably; the male named characters have 'Wyn' at the end of their name; while the sole named female has it at the start.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The reason they tortured the Dragon was to gather a substance called dragontears which is a vital ingredient for their medicines. This practise has also existed far longer than Winifred has been alive, as she was born into the Order.]]

One of the highest-ranked members of the Ivory Order.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's one of the highest ranking members in the Ivory Order and is far stronger than the trio Ash and his friends encounter throughout the story.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: Has been part of the Ivory Order for years, but secretly intended to reduce it to nothing the entire time.
* BestServedCold: Sherwyn has waited for years for his revenge, biding his time for right opportunity to slay the Dragon.
* BigBad: He's the closest the game has to one, even being the final boss at the end.
* DraconicAbomination: He becomes one by drinking a Dragontear and becoming the Ewyllyswyn.
* LightIsNotGood: Is light-affiliated, but is the closest the game has to a main villain.
* MindControl: The monotone, almost robotic speech patterns of the Knights he leaves to bar your way strongly implies he somehow brainwashed them.
* MotiveDecay: When Sherwyn becomes the Ewyllyswyn, his motives quickly flip from destroying the Ivory Order to destroying ''everything''.
-->'''Ewyllyswyn''': A lifeless world. A deathless world. This fetid plain will be purged so that it gleams pure white once more. I… the Ewyllyswyn… will make sure of it…
* NonIndicativeName: Partly averted as the Ewyllyswyn. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/voiceofcards/comments/qlj661/welsh_inspiration_for_character_names/ As one redditor notes]], "wyn" means white in Welsh, but "ewyllys" means "will", more specifically "goodwill". The Ewyllyswyn is a white dragon, but its actions are anything but done out of goodwill.
* OneManArmy: Even without the Dragontear, Sherwyn is easily able to handle the Ivory Order trio and they say you stand no chance alone either. It takes both parties to take him down. He's also able to OneHitKill the Dragon.
* {{Revenge}}: Sherwyn's entire motivation for entering the rising up the Order's ranks were to destroy the medicine that killed his parents.
* {{Telepathy}}: Whenever the Ewyllyswyn speaks; it's stated to be a 'voice echoing in your head'.
* ThePowerOfHate: Combined with the Dragontear; it's what transforms Sherwyn into the Ewyllyswyn.
* UnstoppableRage: His hatred combined with the Dragontear turns him into the Ewyllyswyn. The "eldritch beast" is completely unstoppable without the self-sacrificial forbidden magic; and even that only renders it vulnerable ''briefly''.
[[/folder]]
!!Other Characters
[[folder:The Dragon ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
The driving force behind the game's events. Ash and his party are determined to slay it for different reasons.
----

* DarkAndTroubledPast: ''Hooooo boy''. In the past, the dragon was kidnapped by the Ivory Order in order to create medicine from his tears. What makes this more horrendous is that he was tortured every single day of it.
* GentleGiant: While he will defend himself if necessary, the dragon is actually quite friendly. He even calls off his second boss fight because he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Any disasters that may have happened in the story are due to the dragon's sheer power. However, it should be noted that he didn't do them on purpose.
* WhatTheHellHero: Should Ash choose to revive the dragon instead of changing Mar or Melanie back to normal, the dragon chides him [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere then leaves him behind.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Vince ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
A young man who hails from the same village as Melanie. However, he not only outclasses her in magic, but is allied with the Dragon.
----
* AllForNothing: In the end, Vince failed to protect the Dragon. He died from using the Forbidden Magic, and the Dragon was cut down by Sherwyn shortly after.
* BaitAndSwitch: Vince is built up as the Dragon's... well, [[TheDragon dragon]], but it turns out his aims are far more benevolent.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Vince only wanted to free the Dragon from his suffering, but he uses dark magic to get the job done.
* EyepatchOfPower: He wears an eyepatch and is a powerful wizard.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Queen Nilla]]
The ruler of the Isle of Bliss and the one who petitions heroes from across the realm to slay the Dragon.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: The demo implied that Nilla would have a more important role in the story, but she's only seen in the beginning and very end.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Especially in the GoldenEnding. [[spoiler:She was completely unaware of the methods the Ivory Order used in manufacturing and testing their medicines. When she finds out, she denounces the Order and makes a far more equitable deal with the Dragon.]]

* TheVoice: Just like his predecessor, we never see the Game Master's appearance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Barren]]
The main protagonist. A young man from Omega Isle who wants to save it from destruction by helping Laty become a maiden.
----
* CasanovaWannabe: A lot of his dialogue gives him options to hit on every beautiful woman he sees.
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Compared to Ash, Barren is much nicer and his motivations are more pure.
* NiceGuy: At his core, Barren is a good man, if a little quirky.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Laty]]
A mysterious young woman who failed to become the maiden of Omega Isle.
----
* CuteMute: She's very sweet and she has lost her voice.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lac]]
A spirit and the mascot companion.
----
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Outside of the Isle Eater, he's one of the game's villains. However, his motivations for doing what he does are because he and the spirits want to stop the cycle of sacrificing maidens. To do so, he had to cause heartscars in Laty's heart, which rendered her incapable of becoming a maiden. However, by fixing them, not only could Laty become a maiden, but she could also house all of the spirits within herself to create a paradise for them. But to pull this off, she would have to sacrifice her memories and be forced to sleep forever.]]

-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiYasumoto (Japanese), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (English)
The Game Master and narrator of the story.
----
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: We never see any part of his body.
* {{Narrator}}: In addition to describing the events of the story, he also voices all of the characters.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Would-Be Hero/Ash]]
!!The Would-Be Hero/Ash
The main protagonist and leader of the group of adventurers that band together to stop the dragon. Rude and self-serving, his real aim is attaining a massive amount of wealth.
----
* CanonName: While you can name him whatever you want, all official materials refer to him as Ash.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Ash comes from a destitute family who used to live in the Village of the Sick. An attempt to escape the village results in the Ivory Order capturing the family and forcing them to ingest untested medicines, leading to the deaths of his parents and his twin sister Mar transforming into a monster.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Ash isn't exactly the friendliest person around. For example, his immediate response to a monster researcher confessing that his daughter died of illness is to either demand a thank you for bringing back the doll that was stolen, information about the dragon or a reward.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be selfish and greedy, but he isn't without compassion. He cares deeply for Mar and goes through an entire detour to save Mar from the effects of debilitating poison, and it's shown subtly throughout the later parts of the adventure that he treats his allies like TrueCompanions.
* MoralityPet: Mar, [[spoiler:especially after TheReveal behind their backstory.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Ash is obsessed with money, and will do just about anything for a decent reward, whether that's fulfilling certain quests or stealing a treasure hoard from thieves.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:While he was lucky enough to survive ingesting the experimental medicine without any of the more dangerous side effects, the shock of what happened to his family in addition to the medicine caused him to suppress the memory of his DarkAndTroubledPast.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mar]]
A strange creature that's rarely seen without Ash.
----
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Mar is Ash's twin sister, transformed into a monster after being forced to ingest medicine that her body wasn't capable of taking.]]
* BigEater: During Chapter 2, Mar completely devours an entire buffet and drinks an entire huge bucket of water in one gulp. [[spoiler:In the ending where only she's returned to human form, it's mentioned that she still has a massive appetite. In Ash's flashbacks to his childhood, he and Mar argue with their parents over wanting more food, suggesting that she always had this trait.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Chapter 4, Mar is incapacitated by a knife coated in a poison that is noted should have no effect on them [[spoiler:as it only affects humans.]]
* GenderReveal: [[spoiler:Despite going by male pronouns for half of the game, when it's revealed that Mar is Ash's twin sister turned into a monster, the game starts calling Mar "she".]]
* MeaningfulName: The word "mar" means "to disfigure" [[spoiler:reflecting that her current body isn't her true form.]]
* TheQuietOne: Aside from a few monster-like noises, Mar doesn't really talk. [[spoiler:Considering Melanie stops talking after turning into a monster in the ending where Mar is returned to normal but she isn't, it might be symptomatic of all monsters.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Melanie]]
A proud and taciturn witch seeking the dragon in vengeance.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:She uses forbidden magic during the final battle, causing her to turn into a monster that possibly resembles a dragon considering the representative card showing her mid-transformation has her growing scales all over her body. In all but two of the endings, it's permanent.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:The dragon killed her mother, hence why she's so hellbent on killing him.]]
* FantasticRacism: She despises all monsters, even assaulting Mar at first sight.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She uses forbidden magic in order to turn the tides against the Dragon, which causes her to turn into a monster shortly after the Dragon's defeat.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Between Ash's greed and Ridis's air-headedness, Melanie remains the only serious one in the party.
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler:There's only a card showing her in the process of the transforming into a monster, so unlike Mar, just exactly what she turns into isn't revealed visually or even through description.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ridis]]
A carefree woodlander who joins the party in hopes that killing the dragon will help pay off her family's horrendous debt.
----
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Woodlanders like Ridis are basically elves in everything but name.
* TheDitz: She's... not very bright.
* PointyEars: Has these as a woodlander.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Bruno]]
A passionate body builder who dreams of being an adventurer despite his father's wishes to stay home and become a nutritionist like him.
----
* BareFistedMonk: Bruno explains that the sword in his card art is just for show and he really only attacks using his fists.
* TheBigGuy: He's positively ''ripped''.
[[/folder]]
!!The Ivory Order
[[folder:In General]]
A group of white-clad adventurers who are beloved by the people of the Island of Bliss. In addition, they provide the kingdom with effective medicine.
----
* TheAce: The particular group the Ash and his party come across are experts in combat.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of adventurer guilds, [[spoiler:especially when the origin of their famed medicine comes to light]].
* DecoyProtagonist: You play as the Ivory Order trio in the demo and the opening moments of the full game. The narrator mentions that they're a renowned group of adventurers and anyone would consider them to be the heroes of the story...[[LampshadeHanging but they'd be wrong.]]
* ThemeNaming: All of the members have "wyn" somewhere in their names. "Wyn" is white in Welsh, befitting their status as members of the Ivory Order. Notably; the male named characters have 'Wyn' at the end of their name; while the sole named female has it at the start.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The reason they tortured the Dragon was to gather a substance called dragontears which is a vital ingredient for their medicines. This practise has also existed far longer than Winifred has been alive, as she was born into the Order.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Wynifred]]
A woman who leads the trio of Ivory Order members seen throughout the story.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her dress only covers the important bits of her breasts.
* CovertPervert: In the demo, Wynifred is noted to be [[EatingTheEyeCandy taking a real good look at a muscular fisherman.]]
* RedMage: In addition to healing, she can also damage enemies with holy magic.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Berwyn]]
A burly man of few words.
----
* TheBigGuy: The party's tank and melee attacker.
* TheQuietOne: Wynifred and Heddwyn talk far more than he does.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Heddwyn]]
The oldest member of the party.
----
* BlackMage: His spells are primarily offense based.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sherwyn ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
One of the highest-ranked members of the Ivory Order.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's one of the highest ranking members in the Ivory Order and is far stronger than the trio Ash and his friends encounter throughout the story.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: Has been part of the Ivory Order for years, but secretly intended to reduce it to nothing the entire time.
* BestServedCold: Sherwyn has waited for years for his revenge, biding his time for right opportunity to slay the Dragon.
* BigBad: He's the closest the game has to one, even being the final boss at the end.
* DraconicAbomination: He becomes one by drinking a Dragontear and becoming the Ewyllyswyn.
* LightIsNotGood: Is light-affiliated, but is the closest the game has to a main villain.
* MindControl: The monotone, almost robotic speech patterns of the Knights he leaves to bar your way strongly implies he somehow brainwashed them.
* MotiveDecay: When Sherwyn becomes the Ewyllyswyn, his motives quickly flip from destroying the Ivory Order to destroying ''everything''.
-->'''Ewyllyswyn''': A lifeless world. A deathless world. This fetid plain will be purged so that it gleams pure white once more. I… the Ewyllyswyn… will make sure of it…
* NonIndicativeName: Partly averted as the Ewyllyswyn. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/voiceofcards/comments/qlj661/welsh_inspiration_for_character_names/ As one redditor notes]], "wyn" means white in Welsh, but "ewyllys" means "will", more specifically "goodwill". The Ewyllyswyn is a white dragon, but its actions are anything but done out of goodwill.
* OneManArmy: Even without the Dragontear, Sherwyn is easily able to handle the Ivory Order trio and they say you stand no chance alone either. It takes both parties to take him down. He's also able to OneHitKill the Dragon.
* {{Revenge}}: Sherwyn's entire motivation for entering the rising up the Order's ranks were to destroy the medicine that killed his parents.
* {{Telepathy}}: Whenever the Ewyllyswyn speaks; it's stated to be a 'voice echoing in your head'.
* ThePowerOfHate: Combined with the Dragontear; it's what transforms Sherwyn into the Ewyllyswyn.
* UnstoppableRage: His hatred combined with the Dragontear turns him into the Ewyllyswyn. The "eldritch beast" is completely unstoppable without the self-sacrificial forbidden magic; and even that only renders it vulnerable ''briefly''.

The driving force behind the game's events. Ash and his party are determined to slay it for different reasons.
