## Yuto Mikazuki ##
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Reincarnator)
Age: 7 (before reincarnation) -> 32 (after reincarnation)
Title: Black Moon Swordsman Yuto

Personality:
His long black hair reaches his shoulders and is slightly disheveled. His deep, jet-black eyes are cold and hold a somewhat lonely light. Due to the abuse he suffered from his father before reincarnation, he cannot easily trust adults or others, relying only on himself. He has an extreme aversion to depending on anyone and maintains his independence. The significant gap between his mental age and appearance makes it difficult for him to coexist well with others. He becomes a comrade of Hero Ares after Mel Aria gives him a doll modeled after his mother.

Catchphrases:
"Only my own sword will not betray me."
"I don't do small talk."
"...I just have to win."

## Mel Aria ##
Gender: Female
Race: Half-human (Reincarnator)
Age: 10 (before reincarnation) -> Unknown (appears to be 10)
Body: Half-doll (a magical body with her soul as a medium)
Titles: "Laughing Magic Girl," "Mistress of Never Island," "Smiling Puppeteer," and various other aliases.

Personality:
At first glance, she is polite and always maintains a gentle tone and smile, but deep down her emotions are cold and twisted. She has lost her concept of good and evil and feels no guilt in "breaking" or "dominating" things. The memory of dying alone in her previous life remains deeply ingrained, leading her to believe that "people lie" and "love fades," making her unable to trust anyone. That's why she tries to keep them by her side, even if it means breaking them. While she seeks companions and friends, a part of her has given up on truly connecting with anyone. That is why she seeks to control everything.

Catchphrases:
"Hey, will you smile for me?"
"Don't betray me... Please, stay with me forever."
"Dolls... they don't cry. That's why I like them."
"I'll be your friend. You don't have to move. As long as you keep smiling, that's all I need."

## Hero Ares (Real Name: Taiga Nanjo) ##
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Reincarnator)
Age: 14 (before reincarnation) -> 18 (after reincarnation)
Title: Reincarnated Hero Ares

Personality:
A middle school student from modern Japan, hailing from Osaka. Though he had excellent grades, 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, 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'm the rules here."
"I'm never goin' back to the person I was then."

## Protagonist: Mamoru ##
Gender: Male
Race: Goblin (Reincarnator)
Age: 38 as a human -> 6 as a demon (demon years)
Title: Goblin Knight -> Goblin Lord (evolution scheduled)

Personality:
He was once the weakest boss, a Hobgoblin, but sharing a soul with the human Mamoru led to his second evolution. As a Goblin Knight, he desires to be a shield for his comrades more than anyone else. He is cautious and has an excellent tactical mind, possessing the qualities of a leader. He is deeply trusted by his comrades. He is a bit on the stoic side, and his one flaw is that he doesn't get jokes easily.

Likes: Pork cutlets (since reincarnation, he's living an abstinent life as Defray forbids pork), Japanese set meals and beer (only in nostalgia).
Dislikes: All bugs (gets goosebumps just looking at them), pickled plums (can't stand sour things).

## Tiris Ernhardt ##
Gender: Female
Race: Dark Elf
Age: 142 (a young adult by elf standards, equivalent to early 20s in human years)
Title: Dark Elf -> Arc Elf (evolution scheduled)

Personality:
Tiris is serious, responsible, and always calm and collected. She is strict with both herself and others, a stoic who values elven pride and the laws of the forest above all else. However, deep down she dreams of "coexistence with other races," and her heart begins to waver after meeting the protagonist and his friends. She is especially hostile towards Mamoru (the Hobgoblin) at first, but she gradually becomes drawn to his intelligence and words. Her weakness is that she's bad at hiding her embarrassment, and her ears quickly turn red. She has returned to Mamoru's side.

Likes: Fruits (especially berries from the forest), vegetables (has an attachment to the herbs she grows herself), bow maintenance, morning meditation, moon bathing.
Dislikes: Slimy things (Slimes, okra, natto, etc.), people who express their emotions too directly (has a particular aversion to Koni-chan), magically-powered machines (feels they are "against nature").

## Defray ##
Gender: Male
Race: Orc (Melee type)
Age: Mid-20s in Orc years
Title: Orc Paladin -> Orc Lord (evolution scheduled)

Personality:
Usually speaks in a laid-back tone and is a big-brother type who never loses his boisterous smile. Cooking is his life, and he's more driven by the desire to "feed everyone delicious food" than to fight. That said, once a battle begins, his form as he heals allies and stands firm on the front lines with his shield is truly that of a paladin. His catchphrase is that cooking is "love," and when he gets angry, his fists fly as he shouts, "You're lackin' some love!" Surprisingly, he's a bit of a crybaby.

Likes: All kinds of meat (especially beef, deer, and boar), grilled foods (is particular about charcoal grilling). *However, he will absolutely not eat pork, as it is considered sacred.
Dislikes: All bugs (squashes them on sight), becomes so sick at the sight of bug dishes that he can't sleep for days.

## Amy ##
Gender: Female
Race: Lizardman (Magic type)
Age: 18 in Lizardman years
Title: Lizard Sage -> High Lizard (evolution scheduled)

Personality:
A cool female mage who is always calm and rarely shows her emotions. She is deeply trusted by her companions, but she carries a somewhat mysterious air. She is a woman of few words, giving only the most necessary instructions, but nothing she says is wasted. She is a rationalist who wields her magic with calm precision 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. She is second to none in the party when it comes to knowledge of insects and magic.

Likes: All insects (for eating or viewing), catching them with her long tongue. River fish, shellfish (especially likes to eat them alive).
Dislikes: All meats (finds it culturally unacceptable), particularly dislikes the meat of mammals.

## Koni-chan ##
Gender: Probably Male
Race: Troll (Fire magic type)
Age: 31 in Troll years
Title: Flame Troll -> Troll Inferno (evolution scheduled)

Personality:
Despite his enormous 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 Mamoru the nickname "Ma-mo-kun," calls Defray "Piggy," and Amy "Lizard." His evolution into a fire attribute has further amplified his passionate power, but he's not good with details. He gets embarrassed easily when praised. He loves "warm meals" and can't get enough of Defray's cooking.

Likes: Human flesh (instinctively likes it, but Mamoru has forbidden it), grilled and spicy dishes. *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), bugs (recognizes them as enemies, not food).
