Protagonists

Abyssliese

Abyssliese or "Lise" is the protagonist of this work. They are the God of Wisdom and their congregation was the biggest before Tinirese took the power.

---

• God of Knowledge: Lise is labelled as the God of Wisdom, which can also be observed in the Abyssinian prayer, involving knowledge a lot.
• Horned Humanoid: Lise has horns on their head.
• In-Series Nickname: While their name is originally Abyssliese, they prefer to be called "Lise".
• The Leader: They are the hero of the game but also the leader of the group. Everyone acts according to what they say.
• Living Emotional Crutch: For Theseus. When the priest reveals his identity and his past, he also explains how Lise is the reason why he doesn't feel lonely anymore and why his life became worth living, even before their awakening.
• Older Than They Look: Lise looks like a child, despite being more than 200 years old.
• The Promise: Later in the game, Lise promises that they won't leave Theseus alone, because of how important they are to each other. They also promise to Tinirese to take care of his congregation if he dies.
• Why Can't I Hate You?: Despite expressing their frustration towards Tinirese multiple times in the story, Lise still can't bring themselves to fully hate Tinirese.

Theseus

The only remaining priest of the Abyssinian religion. He worships and adores Lise to a great extent and is extremely devoted to them. He's the one who took care of the temple before they woke up.

---

• Brainy Brunette: During his time alone in the temple, he read many books and even managed to learn magic spells by himself.
• Brutal Honesty: Often directed to Jig, making Theseus often come across as extremely rude.
• Combat Medic: In battles, Theseus' main role is to heal the other characters, however, unlike Ellie, who only heals, he can also attack demons.
• Exhausted Eyebags: You can see on his sprites that he has eyebags, probably due to him constantly cleaning and taking care of the temple on his own.
• Living Emotional Crutch: For Lise. They are constantly aftaid of being alone and lonely, so Theseus' existence keeps them going, to the point where they don't try to discover Theseus true identity at first, in fear of losing him.
• Lovable Coward: While claiming himself to be "careful", he is actually extremely fearful of almost everything (demons and he got also scared by Jig at the beginning) and he is pretty anxious in general.
• Minor Living Alone: Theseus arrived in the Abyssinian temple when he was 7 years old, after escaping his village being attacked by Tinirese followers. He was all alone in it, so he learned magic spells and took care of the temple all by himself until Lise's awakening.

Humans

Estea

She is a doctor who especially works in the field of divine illnesses. She is part of the Tinirese religion, but she fled from the temple to ask a request from Abyssliese.

For example, while he is often exhausted by Yuura, he still didn't want to leave her alone. He also tries to befriend and understand Theseus, who mostly acts rude to him, he decides to donate goods to Karres after hearing his motivations, and he keeps company to Pico when she feels lonely.
