【Izabel Crawford】 (Female)
・ Race: Human (Reincarnated)
・ Age: 28 (Before Reincarnation) → 28 (After Reincarnation)
・ Title: Izabel, the God's Deputy

【 Personality】
Chika Saito was a talented woman who believed in law and logic above all else. A perfectionist, she extremely disliked being swayed by emotion. However, because of this, she was seen as 'lacking humanity' and 'cold' by those around her, making her an outcast at work. She believed in a world where effort and results were fairly evaluated, but reality was dominated by emotions, power, and sycophancy. Her superiors told her, "Women are emotional, so management is impossible," her colleagues laughed, saying, "She can't read the room, so she's hard to work with," and her juniors gossiped behind her back, "I respect her, but I wouldn't want to work with her."

At the end of this frustration and despair, she died in an accident. Her last words were,

"If I live again, I will create a world of law where I can manage everything."

・ 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.

"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.

Pork cutlets (currently living a life of abstinence as Defray forbids pork), Japanese set meals and beer (only as fond memories).

【 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.

Fruit (especially berries from the forest), vegetables (has an attachment to the herbs she grows herself), bow maintenance, morning meditation, moonbathing.

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').

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.

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

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).
