【Crow Sakakibara】 (Male)
・ Race, Human (Reincarnated)
・ Age, 32 (Before) → 32 (After)
・ Title, Magic-Armored General Crow

【 Personality】
Crow dismisses emotions and hope as "noise." He believes everything is a "controllable law of causality" and even treats his allies as "experimental data." However, he secretly carries the memory of a "defeat," which manifests as an "obsession to never allow miscalculations." On the battlefield, he is calm and quiet, but when he witnesses unexpected actions, he shows a momentary reaction that is not "anger" but something akin to "fear."

Giant gears constantly grind and turn around him. Countless magic turrets hover in the space, their barrels slowly locking onto the enemy each time he speaks.

【Catchphrases】

"Your actions have an error margin of 6.4 percent. In other words, you will be defeated."

"All life is a waste of energy that has lost its purpose. I shall optimize it for you."


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

【 Personality】
A middle school student from modern Japan. Born in Osaka. He was an excellent student, but he was neglected at home and severely bullied at school. The game "Legend of Brave Regalia" was his only solace. In despair, he jumped in front of a train after school to commit suicide, but when he came to, he had been reincarnated as "Hero Ares" in the world of "the game he used to play."

【Catchphrases】

"This is my world. I am the rules."

"I'll never go back to being 'the me from back then'."


【Protagonist, Mamoru】 (Male)
・ Race, Goblin (Reincarnator)
・ Age, 38 in human life → 6 in demon years (after reincarnation)
・ Title, Goblin Knight → Goblin Lord (Scheduled for evolution)

【 Personality】
He was once the weakest boss, a Hobgoblin, but by sharing a soul with the human Mamoru, he has evolved to his second stage. As a Goblin Knight, he wishes to be a shield for his comrades more than anyone else. He is cautious, has excellent tactical sense, and possesses the qualities of a leader. He is deeply trusted by his companions. He is a bit of a stickler, and his one flaw is that he doesn't get jokes easily.

【Likes】
Pork cutlets (He lives an abstinent life since Defray, who forbids pork, is around).
Japanese set meals and beer (Just for nostalgia).
【 Dislikes】
All insects (Gets goosebumps just looking at them).
Pickled plums (Just can't handle sour things).


【Tiris Ernhardt】 (Female)
・Race, Dark Elf
・Age, 142 (A young adult by Elf standards, equivalent to early 20s for humans)
・Title, Dark Elf → Arc Elf (Scheduled for evolution)

【Personality】
Tiris is serious, responsible, and always calm and collected. She is strict with herself and others, a stickler who values the pride of the Elves and the laws of the forest above all else. But inwardly, she dreams of "coexistence with other races," and her heart begins to waver after meeting the protagonist and his friends. She is initially hostile towards Mamoru (a Hobgoblin), but she gradually becomes drawn to his intelligence and words. She is bad at hiding her embarrassment, and her ears turning red is her weakness. Currently, she is unable to cast magic due to magic handcuffs and is treated like a slave by Hero Ares.

【Likes】
Fruits (Especially berries from the forest).
Vegetables (Has a fondness for herbs she grew herself).
Bow maintenance, morning meditation, and moon bathing.

【Dislikes】
Slimy things (Slime, okra, natto, etc.).
People who are direct with their emotions (Especially dislikes Koni-chan).
Machinery powered by magic (Feels it is "against nature").


【Defray】 (Male)
・ Race, Orc (Brawler type)
・ Age, Mid-20s in Orc years
・ Title, Orc Paladin → Orc Lord (Scheduled for evolution)

【 Personality】
He usually has a laid-back way of speaking and is a big-brother type who never loses his boisterous smile. Cooking is his very life, and his desire to "have everyone eat delicious food" is stronger than his will to fight. That said, once a battle begins, his figure healing allies and standing tall on the front lines with a shield is truly that of a paladin. He often says cooking is "love," and when he gets angry, his fist flies with a shout of, "You're lacking in love!" He's surprisingly quick to cry.

【 Likes】
All meat (Especially beef, deer, and boar).
Grilled food (Particular about charcoal fire).
※However, he will never eat pork, as pigs are considered sacred beings.
【 Dislikes】
All insects (Crushes them on sight). Seeing insect dishes makes him sick for days.


【Amy】 (Female)
・ Race, Lizardman (Magic type)
・ Age, 18 in Lizardman years
・ Title, Lizard Sage → High Lizard (Scheduled for evolution)

【 Personality】
A cool female mage who is always calm and rarely shows her emotions. She is deeply trusted by her companions but carries a somewhat mysterious air about her. She is a woman of few words, giving only the bare minimum of instructions, but there is no waste in what she says. A theorist, she wields her magic calmly and precisely even in the midst of battle.

Her favorite book is the "Phantom Insect Encyclopedia." Whenever she has free time, she gazes at her insect specimens, but she never speaks of their charm to anyone. When it comes to knowledge of insects and magic, she is second to none in the party.

【 Likes】
All insects (for both eating and viewing). She catches them with her long tongue.
River fish, shellfish (Especially likes to eat them alive).
【 Dislikes】
All meat (Finds it culturally unacceptable).
Especially dislikes the meat of mammals.


【Koni-chan】 (Probably male)
・ Race, Troll (Fire magic type)
・ Age, 31 in Troll years
・ Title, Flame Troll → Troll Inferno (Scheduled for evolution)

【 Personality】
Despite his huge body and immense strength, his personality is as innocent as a child's. He is curious about everything and wants to befriend everyone right away. He has affectionately given nicknames to his companions, calling Mamoru "Ma-mo-kun," Defray "Pig," and Amy "Lizard." His evolution to the fire attribute has further increased his hot-blooded power, but he is not good with details. He gets embarrassed easily when praised. He loves "warm food" and can't get enough of Defray's cooking.

【 Likes】
Human flesh (Instinctively likes it, but is stopped by Mamoru).
Grilled dishes, extremely spicy food.
※Since Mamoru told him, "If you eat a human, you're fired," he has been making do with dried meat.

【 Dislikes】
Fish (Dislikes them for being slimy).
Insects (Recognizes them as enemies, not food).
