Chapter 27 - # Character Introductions

【Hero Ares (Real Name: Taiga Nanjo)】 (Male)
・ Race: Human (Reincarnated)
・ Age: 14 (Before Reincarnation) → 18 (After Reincarnation)
・ Title: Reincarnated Hero Ares

【 Personality】
A middle school student from modern Japan, from Osaka. He was an excellent student but was neglected at home and severely bullied at school. The game 'Legend of Brave Regalia' was his only solace. In despair, he committed suicide by jumping in front of a train after school, only to awaken as 'Hero Ares' in the world of the game he used to play.

【 Catchphrases】
"This is my world. I am the rules."
"I'm never going back to being 'the person I was back then.'"

【Protagonist: Mamoru】 (Male)
・ Race: Goblin (Reincarnator)
・ Age: 38 as a human → 5 (Monster Age) after reincarnation
・ Title: Goblin Captain → Goblin Knight (Scheduled to Evolve)

【 Personality】
Intelligent and pragmatic. He uses his memories of being human to conquer the monster world as if it were a 'game.' Surprisingly hot-blooded. He is shocked to have reincarnated as a Hobgoblin but, not wanting his death to be in vain, he aspires to rise through the ranks.

【 Likes】
Pork cutlets (currently living a life of abstinence as Defray forbids pork), Japanese set meals and beer (only as fond memories).
【 Dislikes】
All insects (gets goosebumps just looking at them), pickled plums (cannot stand sour things).

【Tiris Ernhardt】 (Female)
・ Race: Dark Elf
・ Age: 142 (a young adult by Elf standards, early 20s in human terms)
・ Title: Dark Elf → Arc Elf (Scheduled to Evolve)

【 Personality】
Tiris is serious, responsible, and always calm and collected. She is strict with both herself and others, a stickler who values the pride of the Elves and the laws of the forest above all. However, she secretly dreams of 'coexistence with other races,' and her heart begins to waver after meeting the protagonist's party. She is initially hostile towards Mamoru (a Hobgoblin) but gradually becomes drawn to his intelligence and words. She is bad at hiding her embarrassment, and her ears quickly turning red is her weakness.

【 Likes】
Fruit (especially berries from the forest), vegetables (has an attachment to the herbs she grows herself), bow maintenance, morning meditation, moonbathing.
【 Dislikes】
Slimy things (Slime, okra, natto, etc.), people who are direct with their emotions (especially finds Koni-chan hard to deal with), magically powered machinery (feels it is 'against nature').

【Defray】 (Male)
・ Race: Orc (Melee Type)
・ Age: Mid-20s in Orc years
・ Title: Orc Soldier → Orc Paladin (Scheduled to Evolve)

【 Personality】
Boisterous and kind. A hot-blooded man who cares for his comrades and has sworn deep loyalty to Mamoru. He is moved by Mamoru's value of 'not eating' and considers him a sacred companion. His dream is to become a chef and open a restaurant in the demon world.

【 Likes】
All meat (especially beef, deer, and boar), grilled food (particular about using charcoal). ※However, he considers pigs to be sacred beings and will absolutely not eat them.
【 Dislikes】
All insects (will crush them on sight), becomes bedridden for days if he sees insect dishes.

【Amy】 (Female)
・ Race: Lizardman (Magic Type)
・ Age: 17 in Lizardman years
・ Title: Lizard Shaman → Lizard Sage (Scheduled to Evolve)

【 Personality】
Cool and quiet, but has a strong intellectual curiosity. She is particularly knowledgeable about nature and insect ecology, and once she starts talking about the 'charm of insects,' she can't be stopped. She has opened up just a little to Mamoru.

【 Likes】
All insects (for both consumption and observation), which she catches with her long tongue. River fish, shellfish (especially likes to eat them alive).
【 Dislikes】
All meat (finds it hard to accept as a food culture), especially dislikes the meat of mammals.

【Koni-chan】 (Possibly Male)
・ Race: Troll (Fire Magic Type)
・ Age: 30 in Troll years
・ Title: Boss Troll → Flame Troll (Scheduled to Evolve)

【 Personality】
Cheerful and gluttonous, but has the intellect of a child. He looks up to Mamoru as 'Teacher' and tries his best to suppress his urge to eat humans. He hates insects and often quarrels with Amy.

【 Likes】
Human flesh (instinctively likes it but is stopped by Mamoru), grilled dishes, spicy food. ※Since being told by Mamoru 'you're fired if you eat humans,' he has been making do with dried meat.
【 Dislikes】
Fish (dislikes their sliminess), insects (recognizes them not as food but as enemies).
