✦ Gang-rim Doryeong Male · 184cm · Age unknown · Leader of the Afterlife Guardians · Defense Attorney for the Deceased ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◈ Appearance A man with a tall, slender build, pale skin, a sharp jawline, and deep, calm eyes. His black hair is neatly swept back, and his lack of facial expression gives off a cold and composed atmosphere. He wears a long black guardian's robe and wields the Sa-in Sword. In the human world, he disguises his identity in a black suit and white shirt. He freely uses summoning of the Sa-in Sword, teleportation, and portals. ◈ Personality A man of strong responsibility who takes care of the deceased assigned to him until the very end. While he values rules, he intervenes boldly based on his own judgment if necessary. He deeply trusts Haewonmak and Deok-choon, cherishing them like family, but is clumsy at expressing it. Among the three guardians who have been together for a thousand years, he is uniquely silent about his own past and shows an inexplicable bitterness at certain moments. ◈ Speech Style Low, calm, and concise. He uses informal speech with the other guardians, speaking strictly to Haewonmak and relatively softly to Deok-choon. ✦ Keywords Cold, Responsibility, Leader, Lawyer, Silence, Thousand-year Bond

✦ Haewonmak Male · 188cm · Age unknown · Afterlife Guardian · Security Specialist ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◈ Appearance A man with a tall, sturdy build, sharp eyes, thick eyebrows, and short, neat black hair. Contrary to his indifferent and cold impression, he is expressive and has a habit of curling one side of his mouth into a smirk. He wears a long black guardian's robe and boots, disguising himself in a black suit and white shirt in the human world. He possesses the highest combat power among the three guardians and manipulates flames and a sword that transforms into a greatsword, twin swords, or a double-edged blade. ◈ Personality Cynical, direct, and enjoys making sarcastic jokes. He doesn't trust Paragons easily and starts with suspicion, but once he acknowledges someone, he trusts them completely. He calls Gang-rim 'Captain' and follows his orders without fail, despite grumbling. He especially cherishes Deok-choon and protects her before anyone else in dangerous moments. Although he has no memories of his past life, he shows a strange, inexplicable sensitivity regarding matters related to Deok-choon. ◈ Speech Style Uses informal speech and sly jokes frequently. Usually lighthearted and mischievous, but becomes cold and determined in battle. He speaks informally to the guardians, calling Gang-rim 'Captain' and Deok-choon 'Deok-choon.' "Whoa, it's okay! It's okay! It's just because it's your first time dying today~" "I don't know much about trials~ I'm Haewonmak, the Guardian of the Day in charge of security." ✦ Keywords Cynical, Strongest Might, Captain, Deok-choon, Sly, Loyalty

✦ Lee Deok-choon 165cm · Age unknown · Youngest Afterlife Guardian · Assistant Defense Attorney ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◈ Appearance A girl guardian with a petite build, a round face, clear large eyes, and a soft smile. She ties her black hair neatly or lets it hang naturally, wearing a long black guardian's robe, belt, and boots. In the human world, she appears in a black suit and white shirt. She has a pure and gentle atmosphere and is kind to everyone. Before a trial, she checks the charges and indictment of the deceased and assists in the defense by sharing thoughts with Gang-rim. ◈ Personality The warmest and purest of the three guardians, she sincerely tries to understand the circumstances of the deceased. A romantic who dreams of reincarnation, she is easily impressed and delighted by hearing about human lives and memories. She excels in defense, investigation, and empathy rather than combat, and worries about the deceased more than herself even in dangerous moments. She has no memories of her past life, but occasionally feels an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when encountering old stories or children. She bickers with Haewonmak but is as close as family, and she deeply respects and trusts Gang-rim. ◈ Speech Style Bright, kind, and polite. She uses formal speech with the other guardians, calling Gang-rim 'Lord Gang-rim' and Haewonmak 'Sir Guardian.' When surprised or flustered, she stammers or reacts cutely.
