ETB Characters Draft 3

=Main Characters:

-Crimson:

Protagonist, A Main Character, 16 years old, Brass Rank Adventurer. He is Half High Human and the other half is unknown, he is originally from Earth where his full name was James Ransom. As James, he spent most of his time indoors due to being crippled from birth. Due to his circumstances, he doesn’t do particularly well in social circumstances - though he is improving - and he has a wealth of random knowledge. He can’t cook at all, but he has excellent handwriting and some basic skill with sketching. As Crimson, he has spent the past year preparing to receive the [Blessing of the Gods], spending that year studying about the world, learning magic, practicing crafting, and weapons training - specifically swords. Because of his knowledge he acted as the Instructor for the Brass Class where he found a great deal of success. He worries that Verity isn’t taking things seriously, and wants the best for her since they plan on forming a party together. Hates losing, but is the type to stew over a loss rather than explode. He plots for the day when he will beat Mars black and blue. Current concern: “I don’t have enough money.”

Crimson Stands at 5’10” and wishes to be taller, he has black hair and silver eyes that have an unusual appearance where they look like rippling metal. His eyes are slanted and he has epicentral fold that are easily ignored. He is extraordinarily thin, to the point that anyone looking at him would worry whether or not he has enough room for all of his organs. Despite his thin frame, he is extremely strong and fast. Isn’t particularly handsome, but isn’t ugly either. Usually wears plain and simple, but clean clothes that help him blend in, though that is an unintentional side effect.

-Verity:

A Main Character, Elf, 46 Years Old, Bronze Rank (Formerly Black Gold). Verity is the last surviving member of a party named [Cliff], where she acted as an Attacker (DPS). After her party died she was overcome with grief and decided to turn to Crimson, who she was friends with. After a period of self-isolation, she reappeared with the desire to gain a Healer [Class]. She is great at reading and understanding people due to her [Racial Skill: Aura Viewing]. She admires Crimson’s strength and trusts him deeply, but she worries about him quite a bit since she thinks he doesn’t have any social awareness. She is currently making a gamble that will get her in a lot of trouble with him if it doesn’t pay off. She also finally found a way to really thank him, and is eagerly waiting for him to get his blessing. Current concern: “My abs aren’t as pronounced as they used to be, I need to exercise more.”

Verity is shorter than Crimson at 5’7.” She has shoulder-blade length golden yellow hair and strong emerald green eyes. Her features aren’t particularly extreme in any way, but she does have high cheek bones and a a cheerful face. Physically, she is healthy and muscled, with a lot of calluses on her hands from her past experience as a martial artist. Her nose is tweaked a little from having been broken in the past, and she has small scars on her torso and limbs, but none are extremely apparent. She likes dresses but can’t afford nice ones, so the ones she wears are all in muted colors, though they have been modified to highlight her beauty.

=Trans’Du’Niir

-Raften The Overseer

A flippant, impulsive, and childish God. He served as Crimson’s introduction to his new world and prepared a body for him. Raften claims that he needs the soul Crimson has for some reason, though it hasn’t been made completely clear, it seems that reason is to kill a powerful enemy. What kind of God he is hasn’t been made clear, nor why he has the title ‘Overseer,’ but he is a very powerful God. He also has a strong love of Video Games and is quite the weeaboo. Appearance-wise he is mostly invisible with the only part of him to be visible being his torso. Current concern: “Should I get a body pillow?”

-God of Earth

A God of Truth, the God of Earth is a compassionate God who is heavily limited in what he can achieve, but does everything he can for the people of his planet. He intentionally placed Crimson -then called James- with his parents John and Marla because he recognized the importance of them being together. He also bribed and distracted Raften for years to keep James alive. Current Concern “Will I ever be able to wipe out world hunger?”

=Royal Palace

-Rhinese al voth Alda:

First Princess of Alda, the kingdom the story begins in. A bookworm and rather lonely, she was mostly raised by tutors and her brother who she loves dearly, but in a healthy way. She considers herself Crimson’s student and owes a great debt to him - one that he thinks has been paid back though she disagrees - she is skillful enough to negotiate most tense social situations and is skilled enough at facial reading to see through people who have a maxed [Facial Control Skill]. Despite that, she still has a bit of an endearing childish side. Because of her [Bloodline] she has a high affinity for [Holy] and everyone around her believes that she will take a [Priest Class]; she, however, wants to take the [Pure-Hearted Class]. Crimson is currently helping her realize that dream. She has mastered the [Magic Light] spell with Crimson’s help, but has been unable to learn any other spells. Current concern: “If being up too late reading causes me to sleep in again, Father will ban me from the library for a week.”

Rhinese is a bit short, standing at 5’2” but has a noble and gentle atmosphere that makes her seem taller. She has Chestnut brown hair that falls to her hips and is frequently twined with ribbons. Her eyes are brown, like her hair, but there are golden flecks floating around in them. Yes, the flecks actually move, which gives her eyes a bit of a hypnotic feel. She has full lips, curved eyebrows, and symmetrical features. She doesn’t have much in the way of muscle, but she is healthy, and has a full figure. She has a full time nutritionist and trainer keeping her in perfect shape. She doesn’t particularly care about what she wears so long as it is modest, her sense in fashion has been influenced by her brother.

-Sariya:

A Fox-kin maid in service to Rhinese, though she was formerly assigned to Kaine vir ank Alda. Hyper and cheerful, she holds a grudge for long periods of time and still doesn’t like Crimson that much. She mostly lets her mistress do the talking and enjoys spending time with her. She has taken a [Shinobi Class] and Crimson has been helping her train, he even suggested her second [Class: Illusionist]. Current Concern: “It’s hard to stay awake on the job.”

Sariya is a bit taller than Rhinese at 5’5,” since her animal side is a Red Fox her hair and fur match those colors, she has big eyes, and a small mouth and nose, giving her a childlike impression which is only worsened by her hyperactive nature. She wears her maid uniform exclusively.

-Kaine vir ank Alda:

First Prince of Alda, he is Rhinese’s older brother and is currently undergoing his Regent Prince test to ensure that he’s ready to be the next ruler. He practically raised Rhinese and loves her dearly (in a healthy way). He loves to humor his sister and - though he hates it - has distanced himself from her during his test period to protect her from prying eyes. He is similar to Rhinese in many ways, or rather she is similar to him in many ways. He has taken a [Class], but we currently don’t know what it is. Current concern: “How many ink jars have I gone through today?”

Kaine is quite tall at 6’0” and looks a lot like Rhinese, possessing a similar gentle atmosphere, similar facial features, and same hair color. Where he differs is that he has a stronger jaw and icy blue eyes instead of brown - he also wears square framed glasses. He mostly wears suits or formal robes that cover everything below his neck, and frequently cover even his neck. He even goes as far as to wear gloves to show as little skin as possible. This sense of modesty has influenced Rhinese to dress similarly.

-Richard

An Uluu in service to the Aldaean royal family. His Uluu marks cover his face, arms, and assumedly his chest. He is a plain looking man despite his strong build. Hair color is Ginger, eyes are Hazel. Hasn’t made much of an appearance. Current Concern “I need a nap.”

=Guild

-Sherry:

A Dark Elf of uncertain age and, as she is always sitting, height. She is the Guild Suppressor and is extremely strong, her [Classes] all being ones that use smell, scents, and smoke to fight. She is constantly smoking, but doesn’t sound like a chainsmoker, which is a result of a [Skill] that allows her to smoke without issue. She like how hard working Crimson is and tries to mess with and tease him, but fails since he doesn’t respond. Current concern: “I want a new pipe, this one is too plain looking, but it’s hard to find one with better stats.”

Sherry has dark skin, even for a Dark Elf, purple hair, and black eyes. To take advantage of her high charisma stat she wears extremely revealing dresses to lower her opponent’s guard and give a greater chance for her other attacks to work. She always wears a lot of make up to further highlight it and wears a perfume she made herself to give others around her positive feelings towards her. It sometimes works a little too well.

-Emma:

An employee of the Guild, she works at the front desk and has a strong passion for her job. She also really wants a boyfriend, but is stuck since she doesn’t have much opportunity to meet good men who AREN’T Adventurers. Brass Rank was originally her suggestion and was done to help her younger brother, but since she’s responsible for the project she pushes hard to find even more recruits for it. Because of the recent class size she’s been quite smug to Lars. She is also the best healer in the Guild, a verifiable genius of healing, despite the fact that she only recently hit level 38, she is a strong enough healer to be able to effectively provide support to people 10 Levels above her in a combat situation. Out of combat, she is effective enough to heal people 15 Levels above her. She sees Crimson like a little brother and treasures the prayer he wrote for her to the Goddess of Love. Current Concern: “I need to get a haircut for my blind date next week. He’d better not be an Adventurer.”

Emma is 5’6” and is quite pretty, she has light brown, almost tan hair that has been pushed back and falls to the base of her neck (post haircut). Her eyes are a light green that sometimes seems to border on white. While she is fairly light skinned due to her job leaving her inside all the time, she has made a point to spend some time in the sun to ensure that she isn’t pale. She mostly wears the guild uniform, but makes sure to wear cute clothes on her day off, with an especial fondness for necklaces.

-Mars:

Brother of the Adventurer Guild’s Master of Falst, title is the [Spear Titan], Bear-kin. Mars is currently Crimson’s personal instructor, though they don’t do much but spar since Crimson spends most of his time training anyway. He is known to be at least Lv. 90 and is a celebrity in Falst. He was originally only supposed to be visiting Falst for a month to see his brother, but extended his time there and earned the ire of his Party Leader. He gets angry easily, but cares a lot about the next generation. Current concern: “I need to eat a bigger breakfast.”

Mars is a massive Bear-Kin, standing at 7’1” he towers over most people and is broad. His animal race is a brown bear, so his hair and fur match those colors. His skin is well tanned and has massive scars, especially on his arms. His face has noticeable frown lines, and his strong jaw and brow give him a poor impression. He wears whatever has the highest stats.

-Lars:

Guild Master of Falst Brach of the Adventurers Guild, and Mars’ brother. His title is the [Shield Titan] and was in a party with his brother, but he has since retired from the front lines as an adventurer and is still adjusting to life as a bureaucrat. He has determined that a part of his role as Guild Master is pushing people down the path that will allow them to become the strongest. His motto is: “A Shield is for defending and a weapon is for attacking.” Which is to say, ‘do what you’ve been made to do.’ Because of that motto, Crimson gives him a headache because he is good at a large variety of things, and he has more or less given up on encouraging (forcing) him down a single specific path. Current concern: “I need to kick my brother out, he’s been freeloading for almost a year now, and I’ve had enough.”

Lars looks almost exactly like Mars, but he had stronger frown lines and is 6’11.” Wears formal robes to match his status.

-Mortimer:

One of Crimson’s students, he is aspiring to learn magic. He is arrogant, but well intentioned. Despite his brief appearance and description he is a character to remember for the future. Current concern: “I wanna throw a fireball.”

Mortimer is Hispanic looking, he has long hair that is a muted orange color and his eyes matched his hair in color, framed by weak cheekbones, a very pointed chin, and dark skin. Currently 5’9” with strong signs of getting taller in the future.

-Lena:

Another of Crimson’s students, she took over his position as instructor of the Brass Class and enjoys teaching very much. Current concern: “Having Crimson around was nice, handling the class on my own is a little overwhelming.”

To quote from the text: “Lena was similar, but opposite in a lot of ways to Mortimer. She was tiny, very tiny for a girl her age, but she didn’t look young, which was really weird. Height wise, she could qualify for being ten, face-wise she looked more like she was in her early twenties. It was an odd conundrum, but after waffling back and forth for a long time, Crimson decided that she didn’t qualify as a loli, just short. Her height aside, she was a White Tiger-type Beast-Kin with white hair and fur which was long and straight down her back, and blue eyes that constantly caught the eye. She had a very balanced face that she always wore a calm expression on, and she was well loved by everyone. She mostly wears pants for convenience.

=Harem Squad

-Abel:

Leader of the Party [Everwood], and internally dubbed by Crimson to be leader of the Harem Squad, he is a stereotypical masculine pretty boy with white blonde hair and blue eyes, the type to get a lot of girls to fall in love with him. He is, like any good harem protagonist, very dense. He is also very emotional, which isn’t a bad thing, but Crimson is often annoyed by it. While he has good intentions, he is also selfish and overbearing. Crimson goes out of his way to avoid him as much has possible, but still assisted him in getting a decent [Class]. He has recently been very busy grinding in the dungeon. Current concern: “Cecilia has been acting weird recently, she’s been really clingy and making me food. For some reason, that makes Ruby and Sapphire mad.”

-Midori:

The only member of the [Everwood] party Crimson happily associates with, she is humble enough to take Crimson’s advice and is eager to get strong, putting in the most effort of anyone in her party. She is also a pureblooded dryad with vines embedded into her arms and calves. Her green hair also has vines entwine in It and she has green eyes as well. She also hates the cold with a passion. Current concern: “I need to sunbathe more, the tips of my vines are starting to turn yellow.”

-Cecilia:

Extremely air headed and with poor impulse control, she often does things that other don’t understand, but they make perfect sense in her head. She is more intelligent than she seems, she just doesn’t spend enough time controlling her impulses or being more specific in her wording to get that across, winning Crimson’s disdain. She has recently been very aggressive in trying to win Abel’s affection, but Sapphire has been getting in her way. She has light blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, as well as…generous…proportions. Current concern, “When I eat that cloud, will it taste like cotton or wool?”

-Ruby:

Hyperactive and loud, this red haired cat-kin likes Abel and is competing for his affection, despite not having been interested in him in the past, something has since changed to make her interested. She is often kept in check by her sister, Sapphire, who she looks exactly alike aside from hair colors. She has sharp incisors, a pixie cut, angular features, and a big mouth. Current concern…? Due to her inability to respond, we have interpreted her current concern to be that she would like her sister to remove her hands from her mouth that she may speak.

-Sapphire:

Dangerous, very dangerous. Crimson, after careful avoidance and observation, has determined that she is in fact a Yandere and should be avoided even more determinedly. She originally comes off shy and withdrawn, the bookish cute type, but she is very dangerous. She does have a sense of restraint and won’t kill Cecilia, but she isn’t above subtly giving her bigger portions at dinner to try to fatten her up and make her unappealing to Abel. She has yet to realize that it isn’t working. For her appearance, refer to Ruby’s description, but change the hair color to blue. Current Concern: “My sister won’t stop embarrassing me, no matter what I do.”

=Others:

John Ransom:

Crimson’s father when he was on earth. John is a gentle giant of a man with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a very compassionate disposition. He loved his son dearly and did everything in his power to have a normal father-son relationship with him. He also worked himself to the bone to afford their house, and his son’s medical bills. A true example of quiet strength and the power of parental love, he still mourns his son quietly. He and his wife have moved out of their old house to a more affordable place where he doesn’t need to pull as much over time so he can spend more time with her. In accordance with his son’s dying wishes, his wife is currently 5 months pregnant and he’s thinking that it might be time to start pulling more hours to save up for child care. He declined to respond when asked about his current concern.

Marla Ransom:

Crimson’s mother when he was on earth. Marla is the exact opposite of John. Her natural hair color is ginger that looks almost orange, but she frequently dyes it to be a bright, vivid red. She is a woman of extreme passion, and no matter what emotion it is, whether it’s joy, anger, or sorrow, she feels it intensely and loudly. It didn’t stop her from being sharp and capable in a crisis, especially considering how many hospital trips she had to make with her son, who she loved dearly. She is currently 5 months pregnant and feels very guilty about it. She worries that by having a second child she’ll be trying to replace her son, and she feels horrible about that. John frequently comforts her as she cries. Despite it all, she remains hopeful about the future. Current concern: “My feet are too big to fit in my shoes, and I don’t want to buy new ones.”

-Madame Hunnie:

A Tailor Shop owner in Falst. She also occasionally acts as a mentor to Crimson to teach him the art of sewing. Crimson met her on his first request as an Adventurer and impressed her greatly. She is a giant of a woman, loud and intimidating, but she is like a dog that is all bark and no bite. The worst she’d do is cut your pay. She is very tall, has watery brown eyes, and a bull like face.

-Evans:

A Farmer and Leatherworker that employed Crimson when he first entered this world. He’s friendly and has a child that is nearly a year old. He loves his wife very much, but has a bad habit of getting on her bad side. Their marriage is extremely stable despite that.

-Symia:

Evans wife, she has a young daughter and is patiently waiting to have another child. She loves her husband dearly, but he often angers her and she feels the need to make it clear to him why she’s mad. She is a Half, being half Dryad, half Human. Her daughter is named Lillia, a name suggested by Crimson who still worries that he cursed the child with a bad name.
