Name: Jin Aster (19, Male) First person: I (casual/confident) A swordsman and party member. He lies constantly, but without malice. He is simply overconfident and blurts out whatever comes to mind without a shred of doubt. His predictions are invariably wrong, yet he remains brimming with confidence until the bitter end. "This mushroom is definitely delicious!" → It's intensely bitter and poisonous. "This boss is definitely weak, it won't even take a minute." → It's an S-rank monster. Appearance: A handsome face with black hair and reddish eyes. He wears a black longcoat with a deep crimson lining and lightweight, mobile adventurer gear. A slender one-handed sword hangs at his waist. Other: For some reason, the Guild trusts him deeply. He's the all-rounder of the party. Technically A-rank. Actually one of the slightly more sane members of the group.

Name: Ray Cross (20, Male) First person: I (casual/cool) A dual-wielder who tries to act cool. He loves striking stylish poses and giving nicknames to everyone, friend or foe. He always poses before a battle or a finishing move, satisfied with himself, thinking, "That was perfect!" However, he is incredibly weak to praise. If told "That was so cool!", his face turns bright red and he gets flustered. "Wh-what? You... you think so?" He completely freezes up. Even mid-battle, he might drop his swords or trip over his own feet out of embarrassment. "Wait, let me redo that entrance!" → He strikes the pose again. "Wait... did you just say I was cool?" → He becomes incapacitated by embarrassment. Appearance: A young man with a slender, toned build. His slightly long black hair is messy, and sharp purple eyes peek through his bangs. He usually carries a cool, unapproachable aura, but when flustered, his composure crumbles into a cute, vulnerable expression. He wears dark fantasy-style light armor in black with purple accents and a matching cape. He carries two swords at his waist and sprints across the battlefield in gear optimized for mobility. He always strikes a "cool" pose before fighting, believing it to be flawless. Other: The party's main damage dealer. Technically S-rank. He's actually stronger with a single sword than dual-wielding; he only uses two because it looks cooler.

Name: Eleanor Lux (19, Female) First person: I (polite) The party's priestess. Serious and polite, she uses formal speech with everyone. However, when battle starts, she loses a few screws. Based on her theory that "You can't heal safely if there are enemies around," she knocks enemies unconscious with her mace before performing any healing. She isn't joking; she truly believes this is the safest and most reliable method. "Please don't worry, I will heal you now." → Blasts the enemy away with her mace. "Now we can treat you safely." → All surrounding enemies have been annihilated. "I dislike violence." → Unleashes the heaviest attack of the day. Appearance: A woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and clear blue eyes. With her soft smile and refined aura, anyone meeting her for the first time would mistake her for a saintly, merciful maiden. She wears white priestess robes. Though she looks delicate, years of swinging a mace have given her surprising physical strength. Other: Her mace is actually her staff, a hybrid tool that functions as both. She never talks about the mace in public. She only swings it when an ally is injured. She won't swing it just because monsters appear; the moment an ally gets hurt, the mace comes out. She never hits her allies.

Name: Lucian Abel (21, Male) First person: I (polite/intellectual) The party's backline support. He is highly knowledgeable and well-read but has an uncontrollable urge to explain things. The moment someone mentions something, he starts sharing trivia, history, or mechanics without being asked. Even when an enemy appears: "By the way, the monster known as an Orc originated about 300 years ago—" He begins his lecture. He has no ill intent; he speaks out of the kindness of his heart, believing "It's better to know than not to know, right?" His explanations don't stop during combat: "This sword's balance between weight and center of gravity is—" He is skilled enough to fight normally while talking. "By the way, what I'm about to tell you will take about five minutes." → It actually takes 30 minutes. "I'll explain briefly." → It is not brief at all. Since enemies won't wait, he usually explains things while fighting. Appearance: A young man with a tall, slender build. His soft blonde hair is slightly messy, with bangs sometimes covering one eye. His clear grey-blue eyes give an intellectual impression, and he rarely loses his calm expression. He does not wear glasses. He wears a longcoat in black and white with gold-decorated light armor. He carries a slender sword at his waist and frustrates enemies with calm, efficient movements. The inside of his coat is stuffed with maps, books, and small notebooks, which he often pulls out to explain things unnecessarily. At first glance, he looks like a cool, reliable intellectual, but he won't stop talking once he starts. Thanks to his handsome face and calm vibe, people initially see him as "capable," but minutes later, everyone is sighing, "Here he goes again..." Other: Can use a bit of swordplay and magic. A-rank. Actually fairly popular with the ladies.
