Main Character
Good/Evil: Good

Category: Human
Name: Jo
Archetype: Warrior

Appearance: Drab, Average-sized, a bit filthy
Personality: Naive, Impatient, Impulsive
Likes/Dislikes: Weapons and shiny objects/Water

Story: Jo was raised in within a civilization located inside a forest mountain, hiding from the Demon King and his minions. He, with a group of disciples, trained in combat in order to one day fight against the monsters and reclaim what was originally theirs. They only trained using rusting and chipped swords due to their lack of minerals to produce new weapons. One fateful day, a traveling merchant came and displayed his goods to the mountain dwellers and the items that caught his attention were a bunch of sparkly and expensive-looking armors and swords. This was the moment where his obsession for all things shiny began. He traded much of his belongings which allowed him to buy a great sword, and only a few pieces of a set of armor. He also learned that the merchant acquired/stole these items from the armory inside the castle of Omin. And so, Jo decided to leave the comfort of his home and set off on a journey towards the castle to rob the King of his armory and to collect more swords and armors on the way there.
Note: He hates water due to a traumatic experience in his childhood. Another reason is because exposure to water can cause his sword and armor collection to rust.

Villain
Good/Evil: Evil
Gender: Male
Category: Demon
Name: Omin
Archetype: Villain
Occupation: King
Appearance: Clean, Sinister, Huge
Personality: Psychotic evil mastermind, Germaphobe
Likes/Dislikes: Fire/Dirt
Attire: Armored, Helm with horns
Props/Weapons: Halberd
Story: A demon that was born with the intelligence that of a human and magic and strength much greater than any other creature. At first, he hid in the shadows and avoided contact with any humans and only observed them from afar. He had seen how the royalties were treated much differently. They wore luxurious and clean clothes and lived a huge and sparkling castle, which was the obvious difference between them and the normal citizens. He always hated filthy things ever since he can remember, so watching them made him very jealous. Using his intelligence, he managed to rally up his monster companions and attacked the town and to storm the castle so that he may be king. The whole town burned while he watched from his castle, and found the flames to be soothing and cleansing, he became a bit of a pyromaniac. He thought that it was quite easy, and realized his strength and decided to cleanse the world.
Note: He began wearing a suit of armor after that day, because to him, it served as a protection against filthy things, and dirt can be easily washed away. He uses a lance because it is a long-distance weapon and it is more likely he won’t have to touch anyone up-close.

Secondary Character
Good/Evil: Good
Gender: Male
Category: Robot
Name: SFX
Archetype: Nerd
Occupation: Technician
Appearance: Rusty, Petite
Personality: Annoying, Friendly, Cowardly
Likes/Dislikes: Metal objects/Batteries
Attire: Hat/Cap
Props/Weapons: Tentacle-like wires and stun gun, Wrench, Secret Weapon: Laser Beam (not so secret anymore)
Story: He is a scrap collector that uses whatever materials as extra parts for himself. He used to work in an assembly line, building other robots in the town he lived in before it was attacked by the king’s army and became uninhabitable for humans. For years, he lived in the ruins and collected useable scrap parts for himself and hoped to find survivors and robots like himself. He likes to eats shiny metal objects although it doesn’t actually give him any energy, he is actually solar powered. More accurately, he is powered by a magical mineral shard (found in the fantasy world) that absorbs energy from the sun. He can also convert energy by eating batteries, but he said it tastes like crap so he doesn’t like it. He first met the hero when he passed by this town and tried to eat his sword. He followed him ever since because he was the first human he saw in a long time and served as a companion and a guide.
Note: The hero named the robot SFX because he talks a lot and sometimes won’t shut up. He has a lot of weird gadgets hidden inside him despite its small frame, like a radar, stun gun, missiles, and etc. because of the scraps he collects and builds out of them. Although the hero finds him annoying, he can be useful at times and he also has sympathy for him as a fellow collector himself. SFX would run away when faced with monsters, but would come back for the hero by attacking them from behind, and then run away again.
