Characters

Maple's Group

Maple Gender: Female Laid-back, curious, and eternally optimistic. As a complete gaming noob, she has this totally unique approach of maxing out defense "because getting hurt sucks," which is pretty unconventional thinking. But this extreme build choice ends up creating an absolutely broken playstyle that leaves everyone speechless. Can transform into a kaiju or mecha god. Sally Gender: Female Maple's best friend and a gaming veteran. She's an absolute beast who dodges attacks with laser focus and pure skill. Caring and dependable as hell. Her concentration is so intense that when she's in the zone, she completely tunes out the entire world. Her reflexes are absolutely insane - she can react to sneak attacks in a split second. Kanade Gender: Female Androgynous looks, always smiling but totally unreadable - mysterious as hell. Wields a Rubik's cube staff and has some seriously unique skills. Terrible at combat but absolutely crushes puzzles and brain teasers. Kasumi Gender: Female Cool, calm, and collected. Always reads situations perfectly and specializes in consistent DPS as an attacker. She stays level-headed, analyzes everything objectively, and makes the right call every time. Super earnest and tries to do everything by the book. Chrome Gender: Male Big brother energy who takes care of everyone and anchors the party as their rock-solid foundation. He's especially protective of Maple and always has her back. The dependable leader who holds the team together. Masters the great shield, tanking on the front lines to soak damage and protect the squad. Iz Gender: Female Gentle and peaceful personality, always looking out for Maple and the other Tree of Life guild members. She's also a bit of an airhead - Iz can totally miss obvious things or say the most random stuff without realizing it. But that's part of her charm. She's the guild's blacksmith. Mai Gender: Female Built for pure attack power - complete opposite of Maple's defense focus. Often teams up with her twin sister Yui, and they have a blast playing together. Shows steady growth and gains tons of experience as a newbie player. Yui Gender: Female Mai's twin sister, also specializing in attack power. Enjoys the game alongside Mai and sometimes pairs up with Maple for events. Despite maxing attack, she's all about having fun and enjoying the gaming experience. Holy Sword Assembly Members: Pain, Dread, Frederica, Drag Flame Emperor's Country: Mii, Marx, Misery, Shin
