The game developer wanted to create a strong villain with a tragic past, thus creating Zarock. As for the other characters:
The three heroines, or perhaps they're considered heroines, since this game is neither an eroge game nor a dating sim, require the player to gain their trust and persuade them to join the group of adventurers.
Valen von Starless's eldest daughter, Lyanna von Starless:Lyanna is a striking beauty with long, smooth brown hair that cascades down her back and a delicate face. Her golden eyes exude both confidence and a touch of mischief. She is tall and slender, with an elegant and commanding presence. Her attire often includes richly embroidered gowns in shades of gold and emerald, reflecting her noble status and strong personality. As the eldest sister, Lyanna is deeply invested in the power struggle for the throne. With determination, she uses her political acumen and charm to build alliances and strengthen her claim, showcasing her capability to lead and unify the empire. Many of her pursuers were young masters from noble families whom she used to her advantage to gain allies. At 17, she is upright and believes in righteousness. She doesn't sees Zarock as her rival due to her confidence in her abilities. She works hard to prove herself and change the legacy of the empire, aiming to become the first Empress of Starless. Although she lacks strength and magical ability, she possesses excellent leadership skills.
The second and third daughters of Valen are twins of the same age.The second daughter, Kael von Starless, is slightly shorter than her sisters, with a more athletic build. She has short, silver-blonde hair that she keeps neatly trimmed, and her eyes are a golden color that seem to pierce through any facade. Her attire is practical and often includes armor or battle-ready clothing, reflecting her warrior nature. Many men looked down on her as a warrior, but she proved them wrong. She usually dislikes men, which led her to create her own knight order of female knights. She swore to always protect her sisters and aims to become a warrior who controls the Starless military. When Zarock was young, she often bullied him in the name of training, causing him to stop going to the training field.
The third daughter is Elysia von Starless: She is a magical genius with exceptional talent. With bluish silver-white hair and golden eyes, she always maintains an expressionless face and calm demeanor. Due to the demon invasion, several mages were killed or died fighting, leaving only 47 mages in the entire empire. Mages are rare, as are magic swordsmen, and Kael is also one of them.
In this world, the class system works differently from typical novels. Every individual possesses a status that cannot be seen by others. Instead, a person's class is determined by their personality and behavior. For example, someone who practices magic swordsmanship and achieves proficiency obtains a class along with class skills that aid them in their particular role. Kael is a skilled magic swordswoman and commander, having awakened the class of General. Elysia has awakened the class of Mage, and Lyanna has awakened the class of Lord. Classes are divided into ranks:
- Mythical Class
- Legendary Class
- Unique Class
- Rare Class
- Uncommon Class
- Common Class
The founder of the Starless Empire awakened the Unique Class of Emperor. The three sisters were able to awaken Rare classes, which is why nobles prefer to ally with them and ignore Zarock, who is classless and has zero allies.
Finally, the main lead of the game is Alen. He was an orphan kidnapped to work in illegal mining and was saved by the three sisters along with the other workers. Aldren, banging his head, said, "I don't have a home to go to, so I want to offer my loyalty to you with my life on the line." He proved his loyalty with blood. In this darkness, he has always seen misery, losing his friends who died in the mines while working endlessly. Although Kael initially ignored him, saying it was not their problem, Lyanna took pity on him and made him a guard. Later, he awakened the Unique Class of Hero, increasing the power of their faction.
