Chairem Anime
Tomoko-chan
Hi, I'm Tomoko-chan, and welcome to Chairem Anime!
The main character of Chairem Anime, and the object of affection/interest to many of the male furniture and household appliances around her.
- Action Girl: Come Sofaden she's become a hardened warrior and fights along the King Dragon characters in their crossover movie.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Tomoko addresses the audience directly in anime timeskips and spinoffs,
even noting to Archibald that the crossover movie isn't canon. She can also skip character dialogue in when you only care about one character in a dating sim. Lastly, she talks directly to the guy watching the anime in when you're so busy so you're gonna watch one anime episode. - Dude Magnet: She attracts the attention of many potential male suitors, human and appliance alike.
- Even the Girls Want Her: One of her many suitors is her childhood friend Bed-chan, who, according to the honorific, might be another girl.
- Eyepatch of Power: She has an eyepatch by the time Bomuko's Spin-Off adventures begin.
- Oblivious to Love: She has no idea that Bed-chan is attracted to her. It's also inverted when she flirts with TV-senpai despite him very much not being into her.
- Took a Level in Badass: A normal high school girl who becomes a legendary warrior and the President up to the events of her daughter Bomuko's Spin-Off adventures.
- Tsundere: If she's not interested in a guy, or she takes a comment as an unwanted advance, she's pretty dismissive. When it comes to TV-senpai however, she's absolutely swooning, even when he's practically telegraphing his apathy towards her.
Refrigerator-senpai
You can't resist me, can you?
A mysterious and seductive refrigerator who is much much more than he seems.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Runs on this appeal.
- Anti-Villain: He does murder Lamp-senpai, but it turns out that Lamp-senpai arranged the murder of his family because they discovered that the older Chair twin was replaced with an imposter.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His whole family was murdered before his eyes in a plot orchestrated by Lamp-senpai and the rest of his village when they got too close to discovering the truth behind the older Chair twin.
- The Exile: Tomoko claims that he left the village after killing Lamp-senpai.
- It's Personal: He wants to kill Lamp-senpai because the latter killed his family.
The Chair Twins
Hello, Tomoko-chan!
A pair of chairs.
- Dead Person Impersonation: The older Chair twin died five years ago, and there's currently an impostor in his place.
- Expy: Of the Hitachiin twins.
Lamp-senpai
Tomoko, I want to light up your life.
A lamp and close friend of TV-senpai.
- Evil All Along: He's actually part of a conspiracy that involves the older Chair Twin being replaced by an imposter. He had Refrigerator-senpai's family killed when they discovered the truth.
- He Knows Too Much: He orchestrated the murder of Refrigerator-senpai's family because they discovered that the older Chair Twin was dead and had been replaced by an imposter.
- Sacrificial Lion: His death at the hands of Refrigerator-senpai is when Tomoko's adventures take a Darker and Edgier turn.
- Ship Tease: He has some intimate conversations with TV-senpai.
Bed-chan
We've known each other since childhood! Will she ever see me as more than a friend?
A bed who's Tomoko's childhood friend, who has an unrequited crush on her.
- All Love Is Unrequited: It seems like Tomoko has zero romantic interest in her.
- Childhood Friends: She's Tomoko's childhood friend.
TV-senpai
- Ambiguously Gay: He shows zero interest in Tomoko-chan in the dating sim. He also has Ship Tease with Lamp-senpai in the anime.
- Ship Tease: He has some with Lamp-senpai.
Sosuke Bosuke
This wasn't in the manga...
Tomoko's human friend who harbors a crush on her that he doesn't manage to confess until the next episode.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Played With. He was about to confess, but he lets his Medium Awareness get in the way of doing so.
- Medium Awareness: Is aware of Chairem Anime's soundtrack, camera work, and narration.
- Only Sane Man: The only one who thinks bringing Vegetalo into the team is a bad idea, in part because he was the only survivor of a Family Extermination at his hands.
- Rhyming Names: Sosuke rhymes with Bosuke.
- Tsundere: Is in love with Tomoko, but finds her mood swings annoying.
Benji-kun
Sidekick to Tomoko that starts out as a Dirty Coward but eventually has Character Development and in episode 50 he promises he won't abandon his friends any more.
- Bring My Brown Pants: Pees and poops himself simultaneously out of fear, and feels the need to narrate it.
- Dunce Cap: Wears a party hat that invokes the image of idiocy, which he throws away in episode 50.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He keeps saying he's scared and wants to run away from the mission, though it seems like he never follows through on it, since he's too busy peeing and pooping himself.
- That Man Is Dead: He says this in episode 50 to signify how far he's come.
- Vocal Evolution: Parodied. His pre-Character Development is nasal and whiny, whereas his post-Character Development voice is deep and heroic, and sounds like a completely different character.
Vegetalo
Look upon your dead family, Sosuke Bosuke! Every single one of them slain by my hand! Fuck you, Sosuke Bosuke! Your family sucks! I will never regret doing this!
Villainous character who is Easily Forgiven and joins the heroes' team.
- The Atoner: Downplayed. He knows his actions were wrong, but he doesn't seem to grasp how wrong they were, even joking about it."Sorry guys, I know we had our issues in the past. Totally my B. I was just a little... Vegetaloco back then! Hahahaha!"
- Disney Death: Between Jingleberry and Ho! Tell d.u.S.K. he died, but came back to life.
- Easily Forgiven: Despite gleefully slaughtering Sosuke Bosuke's family, everyone else in the cast forgives him and welcomes him to the team unconditionally, which poor Sosuke Bosuke fruitlessly attempts to protest.
- Family Extermination: Killed Sosuke Bosuke's entire family.
- For the Evulz: Vegetalo's primary motivation for murdering Sosuke Bosuke's family seems to have just been a desire to rub it in his face.
- Good Hair, Evil Hair: Part of why Tomoko trusts his Heel–Face Turn is because he grew a quirky mustache.
- Shout-Out: Named after Vegeta and Piccolo, two Dragon Ball characters who go through similarly easy Heel Face Turns.
- Spikes of Villainy: Wears an inflatable helmet with a a mohawk of colorful spikes in his first appearance, and a horned viking helmet in his second.
King Dragon Canon
Dennis and his Party
Dennis
Haha, that's me.
The player and the same-named Player Character of The King Dragon Canon. He has been tasked with saving Prince Horace from the evil King Dragon.
- Ambiguously Bi: He tries to date Sonia-Rica but got turned down when he likes swimming, so he tries to go for Archibald instead.
- Aerith and Bob: Dennis named his player character after himself, making him stand out from the party of Archibald, Lysanderoth, Sexika, and Sonia-Rica.
- Audience Surrogate: He represents every trope that many a gamer has done.
- Big "NO!": Shouts "No!" to the sky when Archibald dies.
- Guide Dang It!: Invoked when Dennis the player wants to find a walk-through for the game in order to maximize Sonia-Rica's "Heart Points".
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: The name of the Player Character can be selected by the player. Dennis chose to name his character, well, Dennis.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: He comes after Lysanderoth with one in "story/gameplay dissonance in video games".
- It's Personal with the Dragon: His main enemy is King Dragon, who kidnapped Prince Horace and wants to cover the world in darkness, but he has far more hatred for Lysanderoth for killing his mentor Archibald right in front of him.
- Phrase Catcher: "You will never save Prince Horace". Sometimes followed by "I, [x], will strike you down."
- Precision F-Strike: Dennis the player exclaims this after Archibald dies from a bad dialogue choice and resorts to Save Scumming.
- Rainbow Pimp Gear: Invoked as Dennis the player chooses high-stat gear to equip the Player Character in favor of appearance. When confronting King Dragon, he is surprised at Dennis' look, whom the latter proclaims it as his "ass-kicking outfit".
- Save Scumming: When Archibald is killed by Lysanderoth after choosing one of four dialogue choices, Dennis the player attempts this and goes back to choose the other options, but to no avail.
- Sidetracked By Sidequests: Invoked in "Sidetracked by sidequests", where Dennis is trying to find every pine cone in the game. Finding all 900 allows him to One-Hit Kill King Dragon.
- So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear: Dennis the player bemoans this when Archibald dies as he had given the character the best equipment, cost a thousand lightning bolts for their Infinity +1 Sword and took hours to Level Grind them.
- Too Awesome to Use: Despite it being the final battle, as Dennis is running out of Mana, the player goes against using an "Ether", even though there's 85 of them in the inventory.
Archibald
I think that enemy got... the point!
Dennis' first companion and party member, who assists in his rescue of Prince Horace.
- Age-Gap Romance: Implied to be the case provided Dennis is successful in raising Archibald's Heart Points.
- Always with You: Tells Dennis he'll always be with him in a cutscene... which Dennis skips.
- The Big Guy: He has a strong, deep voice, is said to be "the beast of the party", and he seems to be a Big Brother Mentor to Dennis.
- Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: Archibald dies courtesy of Lysanderoth's undetectable machinations.
- But Thou Must!: Lysanderoth will kill him regardless of what Dennis says or does.
- Character Catchphrase: Repeats "Hah! I think that enemy got the point!" every time he kills an enemy. In the gacha game, all of his cards say the line or a variant thereof. Slowly turns into a Broken Record for Dennis the player.
- Dead Man Writing: Archibald left a message in the event of his death to give Dennis an Always with You moment. Unfortunately, the audience will never know if there was more to the message because Dennis the player skipped the cutscene.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Is just as itchy to date Dennis as anyone else.
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Dennis can still court him regardless of his mood by gifting him with a book.
- Gay Option: He can go on a date with Dennis, which he does after Sonia-Rica turned him down.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: Archibald is never seen without his sword.
- Ignored Expert: Archibald often provides key information and suggestions during combat and exploration which nobody seems to want to follow.
- Loveable Sex Maniac: Zigzagged; assuming his constant love of innuendo is the result of him being a Covert Pervert, one could argue his "defeated quotes" are this or merely a Freudian Slip in the gacha game.Archibald: "Do you hear me, Aighe'luvsekks?! FINISH ME!"
- Mad Libs Catch Phrase: His rarer versions in the gacha game say things like "I think that enemy saw my hat!"note and "I think workers contributed to our country!"note
- Multi-Slot Character: In the gacha game, alongside his normal variant, there's Rare Archibald (who wears a hat), an SR labor day exclusive collaboration event Archibald, and an SSR card of Young Archibald. Each one has a different variation of his catchphrase too.
- Not So Above It All: Despite usually being the Only Sane Man, Archibald still has silly and repetitive dialogue that makes him look ridiculous. He also quickly becomes eager to date Dennis if the latter offers him a gift.
- Older and Wiser: A well-seasoned warrior, whose wisdom is constantly ignored by Dennis the player.
- Only Sane Man: In the Beat 'em Up game, when the playing controlling Lysanderoth eats multiple slices of pizza to restore Hit Points when he's already at full health or when Dennis the player nonsensically keeps jumping around, whomever's controlling Archibald is there to call out the others.
- Orgasmic Combat: He has quite a few suggestive lines in the gacha game, such as "I'm coming!"note and "I'm finished"note .
- Situational Sexuality: Like the rest of the party, Dennis can initiate a dating mini-game with him by giving him a book.
- Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Labor Archibald, who has a flag taped to his shirt and has SR quality.
Sonia-Rica
Hell yeah I do!
The first female party member to join Dennis' motley crew.
- Et Tu, Brute?: She was surprised when Lysanderoth betrays the party.
- Love Interest: Dennis has the option of dating her. Unfortunately, Dennis the player blew it because she doesn't like swimming.
- The Smurfette Principle: Sonia-Rica was the only girl in the party before Sexika was invited to join.
Gunther
I feel like I should be in the party for this one.
Lysanderoth's younger brother and Dennis' next party member after the former's exit.
- Butt-Monkey: Despite his importance to the story in relation to Lysanderoth, Dennis the player refuses to put him on the active party because he's not as hot or cool as the other new party members.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Lysanderoth killed a majority of people in their village, which Gunther wants Revenge for.
- Shout-Out: To Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto, who wants to take Revenge on his older brother Itachi (whom Lysanderoth is a reference to) for killing their entire clan.
- Overshadowed by Awesome: Despite his personal stake in the story's conflict, Dennis the player doesn't include him in his active party, preferring to use Braddicus and Chaddicus for their respective cool-looking weapons and Sexika for her sex appeal.
Sexika
I'm Sexica. I fight with a sword... and also my breasts.
The second female party member.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: She uses one in combat along with her breasts.
- Ms. Fanservice: Sexika's big breasts appeal to Dennis the player is more than enough reason for him to diminish Gunther's role in the story, which is why she's in the active party and he's not.
- Shout-Out: Likely intended as a reference to Jessica from Dragon Quest VII, who is also able to fight with a sword and weaponise her sex appeal.
- Two Girls to a Team: Sonia-Rica used to be the only girl in the party before Sexika joined.
Braddicus and Chaddicus
Braddicus: My nunchuck has a knife on it and also a gun, and I'm very cool.
Chaddicus: My sword has a gun on it... and I'm very cool. [...] I don't even know who we're fighting.
Chaddicus: My sword has a gun on it... and I'm very cool. [...] I don't even know who we're fighting.
The last remaining party members recruited.
- The All-Solving Hammer: In "choosing classes for your party", the brothers struggle to comprehend any strategy beyond "hit things". Their first party fails because they ran five melee-oriented characters with no healers, and their second group fails because they took three healers and expected them to fight on the front lines.
- Cool Shades: Both characters wear big aviator sunglasses and outright declare themselves "very cool."
- Dumb Muscle: "choosing classes for your party" portrays them as thick-witted melee fighters with no grasp of tactics, frustrating the guy responsible for helping them put together a party of adventurers.
- Expy: Chaddicus is almost identical to Braddicus, prompting an annoyed Gunther to ask whether Dennis' party really needs both of them. Their similarity is later explained by making them brothers.
- Not in This for Your Revolution: Exaggerated; Chaddicus joins the party, but it turns out he has no reason for wanting to. He outright admits he doesn't know who Lysanderoth is during the confrontation with him.
- Sibling Team: "choosing classes for your party" reveals they are brothers.
- Swiss-Army Weapon: Braddicus' weapon are a pair of nunchuks with a knife and a gun on opposite ends, while Chaddicus' sword has a gun on it.
King Dragon and his Minions
King Dragon
You'll never save Prince Horace. I, King Dragon, will strike you down.
The titular antagonist of The King Dragon Canon, whose name sends chills down the spine of any person in the kingdom who hears it. He has kidnapped Prince Horace and is out to open the Chaos Door by covering the world in darkness.
-
Anti-Climax Boss: Goes down in one hit after Dennis completed all the side quests that made him overleveled. - Big Bad: He's the villain of the King Dragon Canon Role-Playing Game as the kidnapper of Prince Horace, whom Dennis sets out to rescue.
- A Dog Named "Dog": The limited edition plushie has him actually being a dragon (with a crown), not just named that. The earlier action figure on the other hand, depicts him as a human, and the intention of the videos is hard to tell.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Despite his evil behavior, he apologizes for using the word "ass" in a rap in case it sounds "too crass".
- Evil Gloating: In most of his scenes, King Dragon brags about how evil he is, sometimes through song.
- Evil Plan: King Dragon's goal is to have his darkness cover the world, allowing the Chaos Door to open.
- Evil Sounds Deep: ProZD portrays him with a deep regal-sounding voice.
- Hidden Agenda Villain: It is never really explained why he wants to open the Chaos Door, what is behind it that he wants so much, or why he kidnapped Prince Horace.
- Killed Mid-Sentence:
- In "facing the final boss after doing every single sidequest", Dennis kills him with a single hit mid-sentence due to being overpowered by collecting all 900 pinecones.
- In "Maybe a villain song wasn't the best idea", he gets stabbed mid-song.
- In "facing the final boss after doing every single sidequest"
- Medium Awareness: He can tell when Dennis the player skips his dialogue, and he's not happy about it.
- The Sociopath: King Dragon seems to feel no empathy or care for anyone but himself, is extremely charismatic and manipulative, having a vast army of monsters at his service and he casually orders Lysanderoth to kill Archibald halfway through the game. On the occasions that Dennis finally confronts him, King Dragon apologizes when saying "ass" in his intro rap, but, also gleefully admits that he murdered orphans.
- Talking Is a Free Action: Not for him, as Dennis tends to attack King Dragon while he's boasting and giving speeches.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: In "facing the final boss after doing every single sidequest", Dennis has become ridiculously overpowered from completing the sidequest to find all 900 pinecones. As a result, King Dragon who has not increased in power conversely, is Killed Mid-Sentence.
- Villain Song: He has both a song about killing orphans (which gets interrupted by Dennis stabbing him) and a Boastful Rap about how he's king of the lair and wants to kick Dennis' ass.
Lysanderoth
This world is imperfect.. If only I could wipe away the impurities, and make it as beautiful as me!
Dennis' second party member, who isn't what he appears to be on the surface.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Lysanderoth murdered all the women, children and the elderly in his entire village with the coldest of smiles on his face in order to test the limit of his abilities, but that's as far as the audience knows when Dennis isn't interested in learning about the game's lore. He also lost his beloved Ophelia six years ago to a tragic incident before the game begins.
- The Dragon: He is this to King Dragon.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Lysanderoth's Motive Rant has him claiming he did everything for the sake of his younger brother Gunther, while also stating it was on behalf of his Lost Lenore Ophelia.
- Evil Brit: He delivers his monologues in a rather snooty-sounding British accent.
- Establishing Character Moment: The first short he appears in has him going on an ominous monologue about his desire to cleanse the world of filth, very blatantly signaling to Dennis that he cannot be trusted."This world is imperfect. If only I could wipe away the impurities... and make it as beautiful as me!"
- Expy:
- To Lysandre of Pokémon X and Y, who's infamous within the fan community for being Obviously the Big Bad since his first appearance, yet the other characters treat this as a completely unexpected surprise. Some of Lysanderoth's lines are even borrowed from Lysandre, particularly the "This world is imperfect" line.
- The second half of his name is a reference to Big Bad Sephiroth of Final Fantasy VII.
- Lysanderoth's motivations are akin to Itachi Uchiha from Naruto who killed his entire clan except his younger brother Sasuke who wants Revenge for what he did. Like Itachi, he claimed that he did this to test his abilities, but actually did it for his younger brother's sake.
- The Heavy: He works for King Dragon but is more directly involved in antagonizing the heroes, as he kills Archibald and slaughtered Gunther's village.
- Hero Killer: He shoots Archibald dead.
- High-Class Glass: Lysanderoth wears a monocle, which is either jammed behind ProZD's glasses or taped to the front.
- Leitmotif: Expect to hear the theme for Kuja whenever he shows up.
- Lost Lenore: His beloved, Ophelia, whom he lost six years prior to the game.
- Obvious Judas: Dennis the player is instantly suspicious of Lysanderoth's tangent during the first meeting with the Player Character. In-Universe, after he kills Archibald, the rest of the party is surprised to discover that he is The Mole. Dennis the player, however, is unimpressed, especially when another video shows him speaking lines that blatantly telegraph his eventual betrayal.
- The Mole: He secretly serves King Dragon.
- The Reveal: His real name is "Lygon", but Dennis the player doesn't know the importance of it because he skipped cutscenes.
- Wham Line:
- His true allegiance is to his master, King Dragon."King Dragon sends his regards."
- Downplayed with "My real name is...Lygon": no context is given for why this is such a big reveal because Dennis skipped the explanatory cutscene. Even Lysanderoth has to tell Dennis the player that it's a big deal.
- His true allegiance is to his master, King Dragon.
Ice Dragon/Aighe'luvsekks
I, Ice Dragon, will strike you down. Come at me...
One of Dennis' many obstacles towards rescuing Prince Horace.
- Canon Name: Though the original King Dragon RPG simply named this creature "Ice Dragon", the gacha game gave it the moniker "Aighe'luvsekks".
- Continue Your Mission, Dammit!: In "avoiding the story path in a dungeon so you can explore all the other paths", he beckons Dennis to come forward and fight him, but Dennis is more interested in exploring the dungeon first, much to Aighe'luvsekks' impatient exasperation.
- Crossover Villain-in-Chief: A minor villain in the King Dragon Canon, he apparently gets to be the Big Bad for the (largely plot-irrelevent) King Dragon/Chairem Anime crossover movie, Chairem Anime Sofaden The Movie: Dragon Clash In The Kingdom Of Ice.
- Unfortunate Names: Aighe'luvsekks is pronounced exactly like "I love sex". This is acknowledged by Dennis the player and his friend.
