7
8	The main character. The school's "bread shuttle" and bullying victim who used Dice to get out of his bad fate and become strong. He receives an A-rank Dice which gives him the [[TimeStandsStill Time Pause ability]].
9	----
10	* AintTooProudToBeg: When fists don't work, Dongtae would not shut up asking the opponent to not do whatever they're doing and help him instead, and will gladly sacrifice himself if it can resolve the conflict without considering the other side's dishonesty.
11	* AllForNothing: Dongtae establishes the Guild where Dicers share rewards without the need for power abuse. X then gives everyone almost no quests, then announces a battle royale quest, completely undermining Dongtae's effort.
12	* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Whenever a girl is threatened, Dongtae would nosedive into danger without ensuring their safety, even if they went into the dangerous situation willingly.
13	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Played with. Earlier on Dongtae uses his strength to create his own guild, promising to help guild members gain Dice in return for them acting responsibly and without violence. However his power isn't enough for this to influence any of the A-rank players, and his own guild members have several selfish personnel who don't really take kindly to the limitations. Overall, the effort fails.
14	* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: Dongtae is willing to drop everything to help the Guild save the choir club, but [[spoiler:when it turns out to be a trap, Dongtae accepts X's quest to destroy all traitors]].
15	* BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler:After the fight with X, Dongtae is so injured he loses all his Dice and reverts to his original appearance. He can still use A-abilities if he gets Dice from someone.]]
16	* ButtMonkey: Dongtae was the most victimized kid in school at the start of the story. Once he becomes a Dicer he starts improving himself and things start to change for him.
17	* TheChainsOfCommanding: Dongtae uses his superior abilities to enforce rules at the school with the Guild, which is difficult to do when everyone only thinks for themselves. Once more quests came in, all rules went out of the window again. [[spoiler:Soon the entire guild along with Sungchul, the rabbit teeth guy and the choir club turn on Dongtae because the quest said so.]]
18	* CharacterDevelopment: After [[spoiler:losing the Dice and being hunted down]], Dongtae realizes that he expects too much from people who, him included, have ambitions that aren't compatible.
19	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Dongtae sees being a Dicer like being a {{Superhero}}. However, everyone else thinks he is poking his nose into other people's business.
20	* {{Determinator}}: One of Dongtae's main strength is the refusal to give up, even if he's defenseless and his plan would be sure suicide or when everyone else tries to convince him to avoid going the hard path.
21	* ColourCodedTimestop: His A-rank ability [[TimeStandsStill Time Pause]], considered the strongest of the basic ones. During its use, everything around him goes monochrome.
22	* CrazyJealousGuy: Tongtae believes Tebin dates Eunju with ulterior motives, and she'll become his if he defeats him. Eunju has to explain that dating was her idea.
23	* FragileSpeedster: Dongtae focuses on speed and power, but not on defense.
24	* GoodSamaritan: He gives his last spare Dice to Nani for no reason in particular if only to temporarily make her health better.
25	* {{Hypocrite}}:
26	** Near the beginning Dongtae accuses Taebin for using the Dice system to get closer to Eunju. He ask Dongtae isn't he been doing just that recently and Dongtae decides to stop the conversation.
27	** In a confrontation with his younger Data Ghost, Dongtae says he'll win the Final Die, make everyone happy and make [[spoiler:Eunju]] realize the errors of her ways. Dongtae's Data Ghost asks how is it different from what [[spoiler:she's]] doing, while Dongtae has caused the problem in the first place with no idea how to solve it and Dongtae has no comeback.
28	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Dongtae decides he has caused Eunju enough trouble to be her boyfriend, especially when it turns out she asked Taebin for a date herself.
29	* LightningBruiser: Dongtae's primary stat is Agility. This lets him move fast in battle while kicking with the power of a Strength Dicer.
30	* MagicalIncantation: Dongtae initially believes Time Pause needs to be spelled out to activate. Taebin proves that the words don't matter as long as the intent is finalized, by [[LogicalWeakness intercepting him with automated Teleportation]]. And other Dicers already stopped with CallingYourAttacks anyway and these get reserved for the reader.
31	* NiceGuy: Dongtae happily gave Byungchul a Die as a fellow bullying victim. Later, Dongtae stopped him from going too far during the latter's attacks on antagonistic bullies. In general he wants the best for others even if they're hostile to him.
32	* ParentalAbandonment: His parents are ashamed of him and sent him to a small apartment where he lives by himself and him mother visits him once every few weeks.
33	* RedEyesTakeWarning: He has brown eyes that turn red what he's angry.
34	* ScrewDestiny: After becoming the Dicer, Dongtae's personality can be summarized by, as he puts it, "it's unfair to accept things decided at birth". He also has less issues with villains who beleive SocietyIsToBlame, but takes great offense with X using godly powers to toy with people's lives.
35	* TimeMaster: His A-Rank Ability is TimeStandsStill, but it doesn't stop there. The Ancient Die Dogntae wins in the Random Machine has several bonus abilities that are randomly selected: TimeRewindMechanic that undoes a few minutes, except memories and Dice-inflicted effects; Time Skip, jumping Dongtae forward 10 seconds while avoiding damage; and Time Distortion, which slows down the opponent.
36	* TimeRewindMechanic: One of the abilities Dongtae receives from the Ancient Die is Time Rewind. This lets him undo several minutes, though everyone in proximity will remember it. This also undoes quests others have completed, but doesn't heal side-effects from abilities.
37	* TookALevelInBadass: As is common among Dicers, but being TheHero Dongtae has [[ProtagonistPowerUpPrivileges several]] onscreen moments: first using the Dice he gains from simple quests to increase his physical stats, such as strength, toughness and especially agility (which he maxes out). Later, he gains an A-rank die that grants him the ability to stop time from saving Eunju in a quest. Then he aquires the Anicent Die from the Random Machine, which is an "S-rank" item, and the only one to have something like that.
38	* TheUnchosenOne: Dongtae stands out as the only one who tries to solve the problem at its core and is regularly asked by Dicers, dead and alive, if he thinks he deserves the Final Die more than others. He doesn't think so, he's just doing it ForHappiness, and not even [[spoiler:actually getting killed]] can make him give up.
39	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Dongtae gives Byungchul one die out of pity. He had no idea that in a month the Dice spread across the entire school because of it, and everything else that follows.
40	* WouldntHitAGirl: Dongtae holds back against female enemies and keeps giving them a chance to apologize.

44	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eunju.png]]
45
46	Dongtae's initial love interest, a pretty girl who treats him and everyone else with kindness, despite him being the school's "bread shuttle". As she becomes aware of the Dice, she refuses to use them, seeing them as harbingers of disaster which bring out greed and selfishness in others. This attitude makes her an ideological opposite of Dongtae, Mio, and Dicers in general, who are often unhappy with their lives. Her stubborn refusal also piques X's interest, with dangerous results.
47	----
48	* AntiHero: Instead of thinking like Dongtae that X, the administrator, is the problem, she believes the Dice, the tool, are the problem, [[spoiler:and tries to erase them. While she has her moral standards, she refuses to acknowledge the Dice have helped people too]].
49	* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Eunju is convinced that Dice are inherently evil, even if Dongtae tries to assure her that they could be used responsibly, [[spoiler:and she tries to get rid of all of them]].
50	* BystanderSyndrome:
51	** Eunju either didn't notice or downplayed the bullying problem in school. Despite being friends with two victims, aside a nice gesture she didn't do anything. Some Dicers accuse her even further that she would never help anyone if it's not her problem.
52	** X flat out asks her to become the Dicer and stop the fights if she hates them that much. Her hesitation [[spoiler:gets Miju killed by Sungchul right in front of her]].
53	* ClassPrincess: {{Deconstructed\|Trope}}. She is the prettiest girl in school, but it turns out that everyone is either jealous of her or hate her attitude that they see as condensending.
54	* ClothingConcealedInjury: The students were bothered by her perfect appearance, but it turns out she has a large scar on her back from a car accident.
55	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Eunju doesn't like being called "born perfect" and had a pretty sad childhood. [[spoiler:Eunju's parents picked up the other girl from the piano competition, who Eunju wanted to win but got the award instead for being talented, and after the girl started to make a fuss in a car, it caused an accident with Eunju as SoleSurivor.]] She has a large scar on her back since then.
56	* DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler:Upon finally rolling a Dice, Eunju's powerful desire to eradicate the Dice creates a chain of events leading to her acquisition of no less than 3 A-rank abilities, which she immediately uses to kill two people with]].
57	* DamselInDistress: Being a non-Dicer, she nearly gets kidnapped twice. First a new recruit tries to deliver a "pretty girl" to Class 8, then as part of the hunt quest aimed to hurt her Class 8 locks her in the closet, also saving her "for other activites". Dongtae saves her both times. [[spoiler:Then she gets captured in Dongtae's fight with X and he has to admit defeat.]]
58	* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Eunju didn't plan to help Dongtae, but X's EvilLaugh at Nani's death made her agree to cooperate taking him down, while she and Dongtae can settle the differences later.]]
59	* EveryScarHasAStory: Has a RuggedScar on her back which origin is implied to be from a car accident.
60	* FirstLove: She is Dongtae's crush, but becomes Taebin's girlfriend soon after his transfer to her class.
61	* TheGift: Aside good looks she's good with piano and singing. [[spoiler:Eunju as a child wanted the other girl to win the piano competition praising her hard work, but received the award herself, which made both of them unhappy.]] When Taebin praises her for hard work, she breaks into tears that someone didn't think she was just born talented.
62	* HunterOfHisOwnKind: [[spoiler:She's a Dicer who exclusively targets other A-Dicers.]]
63	* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler:She uses cash shop to upgrade her Telekinesis to freeze wet Dawn in place.]]
64	* IJustWantToBeNormal: She just wants to be a regular human. Rather, she even wants all Dicers to return to how they were. Furthermore, she hates own natural luck becuase of how miserable it makes others feel.
65	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: She refuses to go along with X's games, fearing he's been corrupting people in school, and is correct about it. [[spoiler:Eventually she becomes a Dicer herself and kills two others, though still has a moral code to uphold.]]
66	* InnocentBlueEyes: She has wide blue eyes and refuses to get involved with violence [[spoiler:at first]].
67	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Eunju answers to Dongtae's hypothetical question that people better remain like they're born, without magical enchancements. She says it to someone who was literally BornUnlucky and a BullyMagnet until he magically improved his appearance.
68	* InstantExpert: [[spoiler:Seconds after becoming a Dicer she's gets two A-rank abilities and uses them to kill for the third one, and shortly upgrades all three more than any Dicer could in a lifetime.]]
69	* MadonnaWhoreComplex: Most of the guys see her as a pure Madonna of a person that can do no wrong, and because of that most girls see her as a AttentionWhore who uses the boys lust for her own benefit. This is the reason she fell in love with Taebin, as he actually sees her as an ordinary girl.
70	* MasterOfIllusion: [[spoiler:Her enchanted Telekinesis lets her leave illusionary decoys of herself.]]
71	* NeverHurtAnInnocent: [[spoiler:As an A-Ranker, she's only interested in getting the rest of the A-Dice, and her two victims happened to be villains. She spares Dongtae and Mio in case she'll be find someone else with same abilities. When she fights Suksoon, who is a SerialKiller at that point, she loses because he takes a low-Ranker hostage, and refuses to chase him to the hospital.]]
72	* NiceGirl: Eunju doesn't seem influenced by outer appearances at all, peer pressure be damned. She's consistently nice to Dongtae despite him being unattractive and a known bully target, she tells Mio she thinks she is beautiful before her Dice changes. It's notable that everyone who hates her so far cites her being "miss perfect" as the reason, simply believing her sweet persona is a lie, or can only fathom her kindness to be the result of a privileged life.
73	* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: She threatens to jump off the roof if attacking her is required for the quest, with nobody getting the reward. It annoys the students even more and Dongtae [[LiteralCliffhanger has to prevent her from falling]].
74	* RefusalOfTheCall: Eunju gets a few Dice and keeps them with her, but refuses to activate them. This annoys X enough that he puts a hit on her for the entire school.

79	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After acquiring Dice, she quickly develops her abilities further, becoming especially proficient with her Telekinesis and even upgrading her Invisibility to MasterOfIllusion levels, all in a time frame that other Dicers barely show any improvement at all]].
80	* UnwittingMuggleFriend: Eunju is the only non-Dicer in school [[spoiler:for a long time]], and Dongtae tries to make extra effort to not get her involved. When Dongtae does tell her about being a Dicer, she tries being friendly to him, but it becomes difficult for her.
81	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Eunju believed from the start that the Dice is a source of catastrophe, and X takes great pains to convince her to do something about it, consequences be damned. Upon finally rolling one and gaining great power, she decides to take it upon herself to eliminate Dice with the power of the Final Die, and is immediately shown willing to kill for this.]]
82	* WideEyedIdealist: Her FatalFlaw, her idealism makes her ignore the suffering around her.
83	* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler:She hates the Dice conceptually, but eventually becomes a Dicer for the sole reason of fighting other Dicers. Lampshaded by X, who notes she hates Dice so much, her Desire may make her the strongest Dicer yet.]]

90	----
91	* TheAce: Before the Dice spread, Taebin was the only Dicer in Dongtae's school, making him unnaturally strong, tough, fast, handsome and smart. He even gets Eunju to date him, which Dongtae dreamed of for years. Even after Dice do spread, he is still miles ahead of most novice Dicers in all stats, and for a long time is the only A-ranker. During later events he remains far more knowledgeable about Dice than others, though that's mostly due to him having a longer history than them.
92	* AmbiguouslyBi: He's dating Eunju, but doesn't have much interest in her. In the past Taebin received a quest to confess his deep desire to Mooyoung and gets very upset, and saying that he likes him completes it.
93	* BrokenAce: [[spoiler:While he may the TheAce, all of this is due to surviving and being traumatized by Mooyoung's rampage in the past, and understanding the more brutal nature of Dice.]]
94	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Taebin, who was bullied and humiliated daily by his classmates so badly he actually tried to kill himself several months prior to the main story, before Mooyoung stopped him and befriended him. Then, when things finally started to look up for him, Mooyoung killed all of their friends, other Dicers, in cold blood -- all to get the Final Die. To top it off, much later in the story Mooyoung is revealed to have possessed his body.]]
95	* FightingFromTheInside: As [[spoiler:Mooyoung chokes Eunju, Taebin wakes up and lets her escape and gives her a pack of Dice]].
96	* {{Foil}}: To Dongtae. Both changed their lives for the better with Dice, [[spoiler:looked very differently before and were victims of bullying]], rivaled for Eunju's heart and think this world is unfair. Taebin is also TheAce, while Dongtae is only learning the potential of the Dice. However, Taebin doesn't care for Eunju as much as Dongtae, and is against spreading the Dice. [[spoiler:Both are also driven by love to someone who treated them kindly in the worst of times, but whereas Dongtae came to oppose Eunju's views of eliminating the Dice, Taebin never truly stopped supporting Mooyoung, even undergoing a MemoryGambit for him]]. It could be said that the main difference between them is their view of Dice's potential for good.
97	* InterruptedSuicide: Before, Taebin nearly jumped off roof due to bullying, but was saved by Mooyoung the last moment and was given the Dice.
98	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Taebin is missing one part from his flashback where [[spoiler:he let Mooyoung merge with him, abandoning his friends while at it.]]
99	* NewTransferStudent: His transfer to Dongtae's class sets the plot in motion by introducing the Dice.
100	* SoleSurvivor: The only left alive from [[spoiler:the previous generation of A-Rankers, as Mooyoung needed to kill 6 of them to be brought to X's dimension and Taebin was the 7th. Mooyoung let Taebin live expecting him to unwittingly create new A-Rankers and also requiring [[DemonicPossession a body]] to heal himself]].
101	* SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler: After some time, Mooyoung has slowly taken full control of him.]]

106
107	A formerly nerdy and chubby looking girl who fell in love with Dongtae even before he changed himself with Dice, and like him has changed her appearance with it. After completing a quest to "stay a night at Dongtae's house", she gains the A-rank ability Clairvoyant.
108	----
109	* AnimalMotifs: Mio has a frequent cat smile, strong attachement to Dongtae and stray cats, and uncontrollable personality. In Dongtae's dream she scratches his face and also turns into a realistic cat.
110	* BigBeautifulWoman: She was a bit obese at first, but is generally one of the nicest people.
111	* CombatClairvoyance: Her improved Clairvoyant shows her the optimal fighting moves for her opponent and herself.
112	* ClingyJealousGirl: Mio slightly beats Dongtae up because Jieun provided him shelter for a night, even after Mio publically announced [[spoiler:to not be his girlfriend]].
113	* DontLookAtMe: When [[spoiler:Dawn]] temporarily drains Mio's Dice, she reverts to her previous appearance and panics even if the attacker doesn't care how she looks.
114	* EarlyBirdCameo: She's the "fat student" Dongtae [[CrashIntoHello crashed into]] in the city, but she's properly introduced only after the hunt quest, as she was abstaining from school.

116	* IcyBlueEyes: Has blue eyes and tends to stare coldly at people.
117	* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents don't care much about her, so she first ran away into her studies, then away from home altogether.
118	* IOweYouMyLife: Mio owes Dongtae her life for accientally spreading the Dice, turning her life for the better, and she tries to express her feelings. Her general motives are whatever Dongtae decides on, as long as she can be his girlfriend.
119	* SkewedPriorities: After Jeuin enters and leaves Dongtae's holding cell, Mio is understandably pissed, and uses her Clairvoyance to... check what she thinks of Dongtae and what Dongtae thinks of Eunju, missing that he's just got means to escape.
120	* StatusInflictionAttack: Mio's level 3 Clairvoyance can "edit Dicers" to remotely add statuses, inflicting berserk, OneHitKill from muscle pain, or minor brainwashing.
121	* TrueSight: Her Clairvoyant gives her SuddenGameInterface, giving basic info on anything she looks at. It is constantly active with no need for Dice consumption, at least until the user chooses to use the more advanced applications of the ability.
122	* {{Tsundere}}:
123	** Mio is romantically interested in Dongtae, but instead of confessing she calls him an idiot. When she finally does confess and bluntly suggests "taking her", Dongtae hesitates and she beats him up with a GroinAttack.
124	** In season 3, [[spoiler: she breaks up with him, feeling that Dongtae prefers Eunju over her (though X set him up to make it look like that). However, it's quite clear that she still loves him and is only feigning distance in order to keep him safe. Though, she did almost kill Dongtae when it looked like he slept with another girl after the fall.]]
125	** [[spoiler:Mio's ghost appears in Dongtae's DyingDream, then gives up on him because he didn't believe her immediately. Then she scratches his face when he does follow her.]]
126	* WeightWoe: She hates what she used to look like and was nicknamed Dr. Orc by the others in class.

132	A nerdy student who barely gets off bullies' notice thanks to Dongtae being their main victim. Dongtae's acquisition of Dice changes his life for the worst.
133	----
134	* ButtMonkey: Like Dongtae, he starts of as a bullying victim. It grows worse once Dongtae improves himself with Dice since now the bullies only have him to abuse. Unlike Dongtae, acquiring Dice doesn't improve his situation much.
135	* ChekhovsGun: Byungchul tried to hack into the Dice system and was making notes. [[spoiler:After his death]] his book gives Dongtae some early insight on Dice and X that others don't have.
136	* HeKnowsTooMuch: He figured out some chunk of the Dice mechanics, only to [[spoiler:get lured into his own death by X.]]
137	* NerdGlasses: Wears glasses and is notably good at studying. He also had to do the homework for his bullies.
138	* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:He is the first onscreen death and doesn't last long since his introduction]].
139	* SanitySlippage: Once he gets the Dice, he [[TheDogBitesBack attacks the bullies]] and almost fights Dongtae for trying to stop him. He eventually goes into a deep end of trying to burn the school.
140	* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:Dies a few chapters after coming into the spotlight. He is also single-handily the main reason for the proliferation of the Dice among the wider student body, which heralds the true dark nature of the series.]]
141	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:X plays with his emotions and sends him on a quest to burn the school that would get him killed. He had no idea that he was used to spread the Dice among the majority of the other students.]]
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Deawoong]]
145	A power-hungry bully and one of the first Dicers in school. His wish for the Final Die is an abstract combination of being rich, being surrounded by girls and being famous. Has the A-Ability Cloaking.
146	----
147	* ButtMonkey: Daewoong becomes a sort of comic relief after losing to Dongtae. Though he still casues problems with his Cloaking, out of Dicers he's comically the weakest.
148	* EyesAlwaysShut: Deawoong has eyes permanently closed.
149	* InvisibleJerkass: By taking Dice from others, Deawoong becomes the next A-Ranker after Dongtae, and uses his Cloaking to unsucessfully infiltrate the public bath, peek under skirts and theft. His stated goal with the Final Dice is to build an ultimate harem.
150	* StarterVillainStays: Despite being the earliest and weakest Dicer in the series, Deawoong remains a consistent thorn in Dongtae's side, [[OpportunisticBastard allying himself with whoever's against him]] at any moment and survives the entire series.
151	* SuperToughness: One thing Deawoong is proud of is his Durability stat focus, which let him endure encounters with stronger opponents more than once.
152	* TheWatson: During the final game he reluctantly joins the heroes, but becuase he never paid attention to the plot and isn't really bright, Eunju and Jieun have to recap to him recent developments and what are they planning to do.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Class 8 Family / Guild]]
156	A clan of students that have collected the Dice when they've first started spreading, establishing a mafia-like authority in the entire school, with Deawoong in charge. Dongtae has defeated Deawoong in X's quest and rebranded the group as his Guild where members would share the Dice evenly. But the hunger for more Dice made the Guild a short-lived idea, and a couple of quests that discourage cooperation later, the group effectively disintegrated.
157	----
158	* AttemptedRape: When the Dicer Family discusses hurting Eunju, they bring up that "her other places" are for the leader only, with another Dicer wondering if he can do whatever he wants as he's alone. She gets rescued before then.

160	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sungchul aquires {{Flight}} A-Ability in a quest right before the confrontation with Dongtae. Then he realizes he's in closed space and he can't dodge Dongtae's punches.
161	* TheDragon: The coconut head has the strength while Daewoong has the charisma. Despite early hostility, the former becomes the latter's right hand man.
162	* EliteMooks: The foxes are AmazonBrigade of three girls with complimentary stats that aren't above outright killing Eunju disregarding the quest. They only appear near the end of the quest.
163	* EyesOutOfSight: TheDragon has eyes completely blocked by hair.
164	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Deawoong gets offensed by the new recruit lying about being the only non-Dicer in his class to get a Dice out of pity.
165	* ExactWords: Yes, Deawoong will give you the Dice for valuables as promised, just not useable ones.
166	* FalselyReformedVillain: Dongtae's Guild is proven to be just the continuation of Class 8 without Deawoong, as pretty much all members have transfered by the promises of easier Dice collection, and the control slowly moves from Dongtae to Gilma.
167	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Sungchul kills Miju, but not only he fails to get her A-Dice, he succumbs to his injuries while escaping and X declares his wounds be unrecoverable by the system. He happens to crash land in the middle of Dicers who loot his Dice.]]
168	* MindOverMatter: Gilma uses his Telekinesis to trap Dongtae in the subway and shower him with broken glass.
169	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The cowardly student with rabbit teeth is later known as Gilma, short for Guild Master.
170	* ShockwaveStomp: Sungchul turns his enchanted {{Flight}} into a gravity hammer against Miju, explosively crushing the ground on landing.
171	* StarterVillain: When the Dice first start spreading, Daewoong quickly takes control of nearly all other Dicers in school and all together antagonize Dongtae and Taebin during the hunt quest.
172	* SlasherSmile: Miju gets a very unfeminine grin thinking about what she can do with the Final Die or when fighting.
173	* TookALevelInBadass: After the hunt quest, the teeth guy who was pushed around by Deawoong acquires Telekinsis and becames the leader nicknamed Gilma of a splinter faction.
174	* VerbalTic: Miju says "chet" whenever she's frustrated, which is all the time.

185	* CastingAShadow: Like X, Mooyoung can manifest purple spikes, whips, and hands from his shadow.
186	* DarkMessiah: The splinter cell from Dongtae's Guild have formed own cult-like group that worships Mooyoung as a prophet. He's only using them to bait Dongtae out and [[spoiler:[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kills Gilma for his A-Dice]]]].
187	* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Dawn helps Taebin realize that Mooyoung has been controlling him at few points without him remembering it and is taking over. Taebin fails to do anything about it.]]
188	* TheDreaded: Anyone who knows of him, especially Taebin and [[spoiler:Dawn]] are afraid of him. His vast experience, amount of Dice and the ability to use Time Stop makes him a force to be reckoned with, and all those who oppose him seek allies, knowing they cannot win alone.
189	* FalseFriend: Mooyoung fixed Taebin's entire life and made a team of seven friends. Once they became A-Rankers, he pulls YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness on them.
190	* FauxAffablyEvil: He is pretty charismatic and charming on the outside, but has been shown to be a ruthless manipulator, only interested in becoming the Top Ranker.
191	* GrandTheftMe: The reason why [[spoiler:Mooyoung and Taebin have multiple profiles under Clairvoyant is because Mooyoung is a serial body snatcher]].
192	* TheHeavy: Both X and Mooyoung have set the plot in motion, but while X can only give suggestions to the Dicers, Mooyoung is an active and near-invincible threat.
193	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Mooyoung takes out Mio and mocks Dongtae's will to protect everyone. Even as Dongtae manages to turn back time and save her, she's too injured to continue and gets wiped out anyway.]]
194	* HiddenDepths: Implied [[spoiler:by Taebin that Mooyoung wants to reset the world to undo something personal]], but it's not explained.
195	* HiveMind: [[spoiler:Clairvoyance shows Mooyoung has many profiles from a serial BodySurf, not just his own. Near the end he starts addressing himself by "we" and is revealed to be a collective hatered towards the world, with even his blood growing faces and talking in different voices, and assimilates Johann and almost Dongtae.]]
196	* HopeCrusher: Mooyoung likes to make [[BreakThemByTalking long rants]] how anyone's desire is pointless and everyone would be happier dead. Makes more sense when [[spoiler:he's shown to be an amalgamation of Despair of countless dead Dicers.]]
197	* INeedYouStronger: Mooyoung saved Taebin not out of good will, though not for wanting a share of his Dice either. He needs more A-rankers for the next step in X's game so he could interject and kill them for their abilities.
198	* InTheHood: Mooyoung is a villain who hides his face under a hoodie.
199	* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever Mooyoung appears, the series makes a reminder than AnyoneCanDie.
200	* ManaDrain: Mooyoung can Dice Drain by grabbing another Dicer.
201	* NighInvulnerability: As a veteran Dicer he is WorldsStrongestMan already with near infinite Dice reserves. [[spoiler:Revealing himself as HiveMind composed of countless desires, even being cut in half by Dongtae's Time Cutter or being shot with MoreDakka into smithereens doesn't kill him as he returns FromASingleCell.]]
202	* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:It's not known exactly how old Mooyoung is, but he's no teenager. He has hopped from body to body over "many, many years", repeating the cycle of gathering all six A-rank abilities and challenging X]].
203	* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Mooyung is revealed to be a MergerOfSouls, who want to use the Final Die to undo mankind out of corrupted hatered.]]
204	* PostFinalBoss: [[spoiler:After X has been dealt with, Mooyoung tries to kill Dongtae and take the Final Die for himself, but at this point the Final Die has already decided to make Dongtae the next X and Mooyoung gets thrown into the BlankWhiteVoid.]]
205	* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Mooyoung is unsatisfied with the world at large and will do everything to challenge X for the Final Die, over and over.
206	* RestartTheWorld: Mooyoung's true objective is to reset the world. Not before the Dice, but before mankind.
207	* SatanicArchetype: Mooyoung challenges a god equivalent repeatedly and last time gets knocked from the sky in a beam of light. X considered him his favorite toy until he got bored with him. [[spoiler: He uses his charms for Taebin to make a self-destructive deal. His special abilities include turning own shadow into purple spikes and growing a pair of bat wings. He's also not even human and is instead literally [[MadeOfEvil Made of Hatered]].]]
208	* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Unlike other characters, Mooyoung has completely white hair and darker skin tone, giving him more enigma as a veteran Dicer.
209	* SharingABody: [[spoiler: Has entered Taebin's body to survive after asking to do so and is parasyting inside of him.]]
210	* StopWorshippingMe: {{Downplayed}}. While not referred to as a deity, but as a ''prophet'', he is pretty annoyed by Gilma's obsession with him.
211	* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: Mooyoung's excuse is that accidents and crimes happen all the time, so the best way to avoid them is to make sure there's noone to cause them, as in all of mankind. It's implied Mooyoung is a victim of such accident.
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Samsusaeng]]
215	An unnamed masked graduate from Dongtae's school who comes with the hooded figure as an attacker.
216	----
217	* AxCrazy: Samsusaeng failing the college three times did a number on his sanity, he joins the War Quest as an attacker just so he could destroy the school, and just loves to scream how his school life was pointless.
218	* DoppelgangerAttack: Samsusaeng can use the Teleportation v2 for a clone spam. It doesn't help, as Dongtae hits the first one to try to attack the quest target.
219	* DudeWheresMyRespect: As a graduate, Samsusaeng tries to invoke senior rights on Dongtae and loses his cool when he doesn't get any. As a vandal and a dropout, he didn't really do anything to deserve that.
220	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Samsusaeng [[MeaningfulName means]] "failed to enter college trice" and implies to come from an online chat, but that's the name he's going by.
221	* SocietyIsToBlame: Samsusaeng failed entrance exams and was stuck with a part-time job. He concludes that he just wasn't born in the "smart and talented" class where he could get everything he wanted.
222	* TakingTheBullet: Samsusaeng shields Dawn from Eunju's furniture rain and dies in the process.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	[[folder:"Hood" (Spoilers)]]
226	The second hooded figure appears during the War At School quest.
227	----
228	* AntiVillain: As Hood, she attacks the students indiscriminently while baiting Taebin out for free ammo. She has a good reason to attack Taebin, but not everyone else.
229	* TheCorrupter: Dawn have recruited Samsusaeng to join the War Quest. He was doing relatively okay as a part-timer, but with power he decides to lash out against the school.
230	* EatenAlive: Appears to be bitten to death by X's clones.
231	* GravityMaster: One of the sub-branches of her ability is gravity manipulation.
232	* InTheHood: Wears a face-obscuring hoodie. One hint that she's not Mooyoung is that Mooyoung doesn't hide his hair, and Hood is also affected by Time Pause while Mooyoung is immune.
233	* NotQuiteDead: Taebin thought that Dawn was killed with the rest of the group, but she barely survived with a scarred throat and a thirst for vengeance.
234	* {{Sarashi}}: Dawn wears a bandage bra under the hoodie.
235	* ScarsAreForever: Dawn has the scar from Mooyoung's NeckLift.
236	[[/folder]]
237
238	[[folder:Suksoon Jung]]
239	Nani's boyfriend, who's desperate to save her from cancer. He discovers Dice by accident and from then on takes increasingly dire actions to gain more Dice for her sake.
240	----
241	* AntiVillain: His only wish is for Nani to be happy, even if he has to kill innocent people for it. While Dongtae pities him and promises to help, Suksoon prefers to ensure it by winning the Final Die himself.
242	* CatapultNightmare: He has a vision that all his victims would come back at him while sleeping at the hospital.
243	* DealWithTheDevil: Suksoon wonders if X is {{Mephistopheles}}, as he had to kill to make Nani feel better... for a short while. When he runs out of quests, X offers joining PVP.
244	* ImproperlyParanoid: He's scared of other A-Dicers, as X only provided him limited info regarding PVP. Thus he attacks Dongtae, Mio and Eunju even if they had no intention to fight him. Later his JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope gives a very good excuse for [[spoiler:Eunju to take him out]].
245	* HauntingTheGuilty: Suksoon completes amoral quests by X, which involve attacking a homeless and other Dicers, in return for a supply of Dice that [[HealthcareMotivation keeps Nani alive]] despite leukemia and keeps it a secret from her. At one point he has a nightmare that all his victims came back for him.
246	* HealthcareMotivation: Suksoon needs more Dice to keep Nani from dying, who isn't visited even by her parents.
247	* LoveMakesYouEvil: He is willing to hurt others in violent quests X gives him, fine with pushing a homeless of the stairs, and engaging in [=PvP=] to steal Dice directly. He does all of this to help sustain Nani's health.
248	* MoralMyopia: He's disgusted by another Dicer attacking the crowd for Dice, but when he becomes a Dicer himself, for Nani's sake, he accepts X's quest to kill a homeless for a little reward very quickly. He sinks deeper from there, even if he knows she can't be healed, and keeps complaining when others get in his way.
249	* UngratefulBastard: He attacks Mio and Dongtae despite using their Dice to help Nani recover.
250	[[/folder]]
251
252	[[folder:Nani Kim]]
253	Suksoon's girlfriend, a leukemia patient who is relying on Dices he brings her to stay healthy.
254	----
255	* BeyondTheImpossible: Suksoon pumps Dice into her many times more her maximum HP at once. This cures her leukemia, [[spoiler:at least until she gets any damage]]. Even X doesn't understand how it happened.
256	* BrokenBird: Her parents do not care about her in the slightest, they won't even pay her medical bills. Because of this she sees herself as an unimportant spec of dust.
257	* ParentalNeglect: Being a bastard child of a CEO, Nani has never seen her father. When she gets hospitalized with leukemia, none of her family visted her, and ignore her when she recovers.
258	* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:In Chapter 178, she took a hit from Suksoon that was supposed to be for Dongtae.]]
259	* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:The one unambigiously good Dicer in the webtoon and she died by her boyfriend's mistake.]]
260	* SatelliteCharacter: She's only present as Suksoon's HealthcareMotivation.
261	* ShootTheShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Soon after she got healed from the terminal disease, it comes back by an accident, and she learns Suksoon was lying about player-killing for her sake. And then is accidentally killed by him.]]
262	[[/folder]]
263
264	[[folder:Jieun]]
265	A new Dicer who appears after the TimeSkip. She wears a medical mask becuase everyone recognizes her as the victim in an undisclosed viral video. She often tags along with Dongtae, but makes clear her motives are completely self-serving.
266	----
267	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Jieun is given multiple opportunities to join the heroes and fight X. More than once she agrees only because killing someone close is easier and Dongtae fails to take a hint.
268	* DontLookAtMe: Jieun hides her face under a mask and body modifications because she got forced into a painful viral video of undisclosed nature and attacks everyone indiscriminately when she loses the mask. Even in the finals she considers getting a new mask instead of a weapon.
269	* ItsAllAboutMe: Jieun's absolute desperation to use the Final Die to wipe everyone's memories and evidence of the video that ruined her life leads her to being willing to murder basically anyone and everyone without any sense of mercy. She does have mild guilt when [[spoiler:she stabs Mio and tries to get Dongtae shot down with a tank]], but she makes it quite clear she doesn't care about anything but obtaining the Final Die to find her freedom.
270	* NominalHero: She's typically lumped with the protagonists by chance. Despite not intending to, and rather seeing them as enemies as well, she does help becuase she doesn't think she would defeat other Dicers by herself.
271	* PragmaticVillainy: Jieun sides with Dongtae once because other Dicers surround them and [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe he saved her from falling]]. She doesn't hesitate attacking anyone, Dongtae and Mio included, the moment she thinks she has a chance.
272	* PsychoKnifeNut: Jieun's preferred weapon instead of Dice abilities is a regular kitchen knife, which she uses to PK a dozen of Dicers. Even without the knife, she's not mentally okay.
273	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Jieun is one of the last A-Rankers standing and begs Eunju to die while saving Dongtae. Eunju returns and Jieun screams hysterically.]]
274	[[/folder]]
275
276	! Others
277
278	[[folder:X]]
279	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dicex.png]]
280
281	The "game master" of Dice. A mysterious entity who contacts Dicers from the moment they first roll a Dice, usually through phone texts. He explains the rules of Dice to them and is also the one responsible for supplying Dicers with quests, and conjuring Dice if they succeed, seemingly out of thin air. X is somewhat of a {{Troll}} in more ways than one, and as the series progress he is shown to have a very dark, sadistic side to himself.
282	----
283	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He won the Final Die meaning replacing him as the new X every time, and the ghost doll implies there were other S-rank challengers. Dawn further states that in all those times he was challenged, he defeated Mooyoung in mere moments, citing this to Suksoon that he doesn't have a chance of defeating X even if he attains S-rank.
284	* AsteroidsMonster: Suksoon cuts X with Time Cutter, but X turns into slime and splits into copies of himself.
285	* BerserkButton: While X is usually not annoyed by anything, it appears people refusing to play his game is a trigger for him. While he doesn't show any actual anger, after [[spoiler: Eunju]] told him her reasons for not wanting to play his game he created a quest targeting her. Said quest had rewards for people ripping her clothes and taking embarrassing photos of her, even to the point of causing physical injuries. X also starts targeting Dongtae when he tries to make other Dicers team-up.
286	* BigBad: He set up the current way Dice are acquired and used, and is the main antagonist of the series as a whole.
287	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: X's quests are tailored to the dicer's Desire. Violent ones are rewarded for injuring others, romantic ones get dice for spending time with someone, and altruists get quests to defend someone. X doesn't feel responsible for instigating chaos in a school that was already filled with bullies.
288	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: In reality, X is the child seen in the prologue of the story, having wished for "someone to play with me forever."]]
289	* TheChessmaster: Frequently uses chess pieces to symbolize the players, and is skillful to create specific situation by giving individual quests. He doesn't get involved himself, but if there's something he wants to happen, there are a lot of Dicers that would do anything for a reward.
290	* ControlFreak: X believes he holds everyone's lives and deaths in his hands. When someone defies him or something unexpected happens, all his rules and composure go out the window.
291	* TheCorrupter: X gives quests to people with unfulfilled desires, and the lower the person goes, the bigger the reward. Very quickly Dongtae's school becomes the ground for everyone versus everyone willing to murder. He spends a lot of time trying to talk the heroes down from their idealism.
292	* DarkIsEvil: X is presented with black speech bubbles and is an enigmatic sadist. When Jihae tries to use upgraded Clairvoyant on a Dice pop-up, she can only see a giant black flame.
293	* {{Emoticon}}: X uses smileys and cat ASCII art to express emotions.
294	* EnfantTerrible: When X first physically shows up, he has appearance of a small child, fitting his egoistical personality. [[spoiler:The same abused kid at the dumps from the prologue, in fact.]]
295	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He finds the idea of a person not wanting anything about themselves changed with magic funny and annoying. He thinks the same of people not wanting to hurt others for own benefit.
296	* EvilIsPetty:
297	** After talking to Eunju in private and failing to convince her to roll the Dice, he increases the bounty even further to motivate the attackers.
298	** X overhears Dongtae's idea to keep at least Clairvoyant users safe to prevent the ascension of an S-Ranker and gets pissed. Later he puts a huge bounty against Dongtae specifically for interrupting students attacking the principal, who he've tagreted just out of boredom. After Dongtae proposes own challenge, X sets as the price for possible failure him and friends tortured and raped.
299	** For the final quest he plans to remove half of the Dicers each week until there's last one standing. Once someone brings up there's not an even number, he kills them right there and considers the issue solved.
300	* ForTheEvulz: X puts a sudden quest to punch the school principal just because he finds his speech boring. Dongtae stopping the students makes X put a hit on him instead.
301	* FriendlyEnemy: X acts like an annoying friend to Dongtae even if they are enemies, as long as he likes his ambition.
302	* GameMaster: He sees himself as a game host and is very protective of the rules he sets forth, made easier by the way those rules seem to be magically enforced. He can also be dangerous if anyone attempts to "hack the game". He also didn't create the Dice and Dongtae figures he's just an unhinged KillerGameMaster. [[spoiler:Turns out it to be a side-effect of his wish to have someone "to play with" and he is stuck LonelyAtTheTop.]]
303	* HairTriggerTemper: X is too childish and agressive to operate own game consistently, prone to radically changing the rules whenever something upsets him. Che-Hyun gives him a Rubik's Cube, and even after the explanation, X just breaks the cube apart out of frustration and asks to bring another one. He does solve it and hates it now because he understands how it works.
304	* HumansAreInsects: X bluntly calls humans bugs that exist to be squashed for his amusement. Anyone who doesn't fall under this view are to be painfully removed. When asked, he outright says his toy robot is more valuable than anyone's lives.
305	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:The core of X's problem. He wished to have someone to play with, but Mooyoung isn't his friend. Once Dongtae asks him to join the challenge in person, X gets a HeelRealization that it's what he should have done in the first place.]]
306	* ILied: [[spoiler:X makes Che-Hyun an NPC by his request. He can't be attacked, but also can't participate. Mooyoung fatally injures Che-Hyun and X reminds him that his "promise" wasn't a rule.]]
307	* ImmortalityImmorality: [[spoiler:The Final Die asks a child his wish, which is to have someone to play with him forever. This turned the kid into an immortal and immature {{Jerkass}} X.]]
308	* ItAmusedMe: He does whatever he wants because he loves chaos. However, if the heroes propose a challenge, he changes its mind and gives minimal assistance to see them try.
309	* JackassGenie: X's quests reflect the Dicer's desire and give exactly as promised, however the rewards usually either provide less benefits than believed or require sacrificing more than they worth.
310	* KillerGameMaster: He is the GM of the Dice, and regularly gets Dicers killed either by making them fight each other or by making up games with death penalies. [[spoiler:It's because he can't attack a player directly.]]
311	* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler: When he became the GameMaster, he was split into two forms; the first being the X and the second taking on the form of the Ancient Die.]]
312	* ManipulativeBastard:
313	** [[spoiler:He gives Byungchul and Dongtae quests at school, knowing that the former will take it and the latter will not. Byungchul dies and kickstarts the rest of the plot, and Dongtae is ridden with guilt for not saving him.]]
314	** He puts a bounty on Eunju for defying him and effectively turns the entire school into his unwitting hitmen. He uses a similar tactic a lot if he wants someone hurt in particular.
315	* MysteriousBenefactor: X can contact any Dicer as long as there's any electronic device nearby and teleport new Dice when quests are completed. For the most of the manhwa nothing about them is known.
316	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Subverted. He doesn't physically appear in front of the players until the "final round", but still actively maintains contact and manipulates them on several occasions. When Dongtae proposes and wins his own quest in order to fight him early, it nearly became a HopelessBossFight.
317	* PhysicalGod: X can do much more than deliver the Dice. Rather, he can do whatever he wants to any Dicer or all Dicers at once and in a direct confrontation his abilities are only limited by his imagination.
318	* PurpleIsPowerful: His speech and text always have a purple outline. In addition, he is often accompanied by a purple aura wherever he goes.
319	* {{Troll}}: Absolutely relishes in messing with people, deliberately making insensitive remarks when people are not in the mood.
320	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: [[spoiler:Before becoming X, the child has concluded that the world has abandoned him, and starts squishing ants to prove that he has something to control. He carried on with this philosophy after becoming a god.]]
321	* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: As GameMaster, he promises to always follow own rules. However, he can cancel and invent new ones whenever he feels like.
322	[[/folder]]
323
324	[[folder:Ancient Die (Spoilers)]]
325	X's other half, condensed into an ever-changing, ever-growing die, formed when X was split in two when he made his wish before the events of ''DICE'' even started. He's a polar opposite to the "Game master" version of X. Dongtae acquires him as an S-item reward in the Random Machine.
326	----
327	* DeusExMachina: Twice the Ancient Die manifests, it's to prevent Dongtae from dying and letting him SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.
328	* HelplessGoodSide: He's a more rational and empathic side of X who was turned into a premium item and was hidden in the back of the gacha machine rewards.
329	* LightIsGood: Ancient's humanoid form takes the appearance of a white, glowing X. In addition, his speech bubbles have a white background, as opposed to X's black.
330	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Was formed when X was split into two halves.
331	* {{Shapeshifting}}: The number of faces on his physical Dice form will increase in accordance to how much desire he has consumed.
332	* TimeMaster: It's effectively an upgrade to Dongtae's Time Pause, giving him a new tree of time-related abilities.
333	* WildCard: As much as it's more humanized than X and helps Dongtae, it deliberately let him use Time Rewind many times without giving any advice he could have, so this would completely heal X.
