MC 1 is fiercely independent and competent with a restless and lonely streak he doesn't acknowledge. He can be forceful but recognizes when he's screwed up and will apologize/ make up for it. He also has a bit of a running prejudice bordering arogance due to his abilities and if anyone's able to keep up with him, they garner a deep respect that lowers his barriers.

Ambrosia is a somewhat crazy beggar woman with amnesia up to about age nine who
turns out to be God, and was adopted
and falls in love with a crossdressing prince. Also, in a few spots in the story, she successfully convinced herself that she's actually dead and/or in a mental institution because her fantasy adventure doesn't feel like it could happen to her. Oh yeah, and she resets reality when things happen to her that she doesn't like.

Callahan is a character who is still discovering himself, because 16 chapters in I'm still kinda figuring him out too lol. Main characters are way harder to figure out for me than the side ones. Of the trio he's my least favorite to write, not in the "I hate him" way but in the "Hm... would he say this?" He's definitely the reluctant hero arch type, but he's not particularly good at anything. He's pretty lucky with his aim, though that's not a story arc thing, I just found it funny that he managed to get a couple head shots with his goofy weapon. I think the trio works pretty well together, and Cal and his brother I think are fun together, but I did rewrite chapter 2 because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get Cal from one place to another without somebody pushing his buttons. I have an idea of where I want him to be in the future, and I think he's pretty okay as he is now, at least to my standards anyway which are... uh. I dunno probably not very good. But yeah, I still love him, and his brother and his little fairy.

I am not good at advertising or selling my self/characters. but I do like talking about them when I get the chance every so often.

My protagonist is somebody who sees themselves as a villain and acts accordingly. She can be petty, vindictive, violent and isn't above using others as pawns to further her own agenda and desires. She's also an absolute idiot and an edge lord. She earnestly believes she's a cold hearted villainess sociopath while she consistently acts to the contrary going out of her way for those she claims she doesn't care about and demonstrating selflessness and kindness. She was also a depressed office worker before she was reincarnated as the villainess in her favorite game. So that might have something to do with her edgy delusions. Not trying to sell anyone, just felt like chiming in and explaining my MC lol
