If you can't even be bothered to ask AI for names, I can't be bothered to help either. Then again, I expect nothing. Anyway, I did it for you:

Main Group:​

  1. Kael Ardentis – The rusty-orange-haired noble MC, reluctantly upholding family tradition in fencing.
  2. Rin Tomeweaver – The otaku friend obsessed with myths and grimoires (a play on "tome" + "weaver").
  3. Elric Sylvaris – The troublemaking pureblood elf who smuggles alcohol and "borrows" drake wagons.
  4. Vexis "Vex" Mourne – The edgy 0.025% demon kid who wears all black and constantly nicks his fingers.
  5. Garrett Brightshield – The responsible leader, always planning events and keeping his friends mostly out of trouble.

Other Students/Faculty:​

  1. Professor Aldric Thornfield – A strict fencing instructor who clashes with Kael.
  2. Headmistress Liora Veymar – The exasperated but fair dorm supervisor.
  3. Darien Swift – A rival fencer who looks down on Kael for coasting on family name.
  4. Milo Quillspire – A nerdy alchemy student who sometimes helps Rin with research.
  5. Seraphina "Sera" Duskbane – A popular upperclassman who thinks Vex’s demon phase is adorable.

Adventurers’ Party (Forever Single Squad):​

  1. Bran Hardtusk – A burly, unlucky-in-love dwarf warrior.
  2. Silas Fleetfoot – A roguish archer who’s convinced he’s charming (he’s not).
  3. Orin Stormcaller – A mage who accidentally sets his own love letters on fire.
  4. Tobias "Toby" Merryweather – A bard whose romantic ballads always end in tears (his own).
  5. Gareth Ironvein – A knight who’s too honorable—women think he’s boring.

Miscellaneous:​

  1. Null – The mysterious black axolotl/cat/bug/lizard/dog hybrid that Kael rescued from the trash.
  2. Lady Isolde Ardentis – Kael’s stern but secretly indulgent noble mother.
  3. Master Corvin – The retired adventurer who runs the fencing club.
  4. Jessa Proudfoot – A cheerful halfling cook who sneaks the boys extra food.
  5. Lucian Voidcrest – A shady upperclassman who might be an actual demon (Vex’s idol).

Artery Explodium, there you go, a best name if a doctor found artery damage within themselves. Still look confused and regret choosing this name.

Can you elaborate what "Asian names" are?

Things that sound vaguely Chinese or Japanese, whether they are or not.
Shen Lung
Hua Lu
Stuff like that - stuff that gets used a lot in web novels, because a lot are inspired by translations from Japanese, Korean or Chinese originals. Some people want to use that exclusively, some want to avoid it like the plague because it gets used so much.

It’s pretty funny how people often assume "Asian names" are automatically Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, when Asia is huge and has such a wide variety of names across different cultures.

Friend 2, elvish chad: Lhinagos. Lin for short. A name soft like the wind and noble, entirely opposite to his boozing and normal behaviour. He probably comes from a noble family with a fancy name, like Altoïndé
Friend 3, edgelord: needs 2 names. His stage name, which he insists everyone uses. Something like Paimon or Bathin. Ironically, his actual name is probably Sebastian or Ian.

LOVE the idea. Yeah, it really speaks of their characters.

Use as placeholders until irritation sparks inspiration.

Hey, thanks. Nice to know you care so much about these characters. I practically made them on the spot and had to leave the house in, like, 5 minutes. Also, not in the best place of mind for writing, but not writing just makes it worse, so I just want some nonsensical and noncomittal stuff that wouldn't bog on my mind too much. Thanks for the additional characters, love their concepts.

I don't mind, tbh. Having one or two characters that's just "out of place" just makes the world so much colorful. Like, there are lots Asian kids in American school, why can't we have an Asian character in a "west" fantasy?

Yeah, but in context you rarely see Russian or Indian names in these stories (unless everything is Russian or Indian - and that usually only happens when the author is Indian or Russian) ... though you do see a lot of concepts from Indian mythology creep in due to the influence Buddhism has on the region.
