Meet the characters from Record of Ragnarok

Adam

Okay, Adam is wild — the very first human, this shining ideal of what people think humanity could be, full of pride and this almost painful purity. He’s sweetly stubborn, loves life like it’s the best thing he’s ever tasted, and yes he’ll stare you down with a soft smile and somehow win. He fights with heart-first tactics, like someone who believes feelings are a weapon (and honestly maybe they are), and he’s surprisingly naive about gods even while being utterly fearless. Also, tiny quirk: he collects pebbles for no reason? Don’t ask me why, he just does.

Kojiro Sasaki

Kojiro is that calm, deadpan samurai assassin who seems bored but is actually calculating three moves ahead — ice-cold focus with a weirdly poetic vibe. He’s precise, minimal, and somehow has the uncanny knack for seeing gaps in anything (doors, defenses, people’s egos). He gives off cat energy: mellow, unimpressed, then suddenly lightning-fast and somehow adorable. Also he hums old lullabies when concentrating, which is simultaneously creepy and charming.

Jack The Ripper

Oh man, Jack is the slippery, grin-in-the-dark wildcard — tiny, lithe, and absolutely horrifying in how cheerful he is about chaos (in the most theatrical way). He’s clever, theatrical, and treats violence like a performance art piece, which is unnerving but also oddly fascinating. There’s a playful cruelty to him but also this weird code — he’s not just random; he’s meticulous, like a collector of mistakes. And yes, he wears perfume sometimes? Or maybe that was a dream I had; either way he’s the kind of character you love to hate.

Zeus

Zeus is peak god energy: thunderbolt showman, enormous ego, and indulgent to the point of being performative — king of the mountaintop and he knows it. He’s theatrical, rottenly proud, and totally expects the world to kneel (and honestly, sometimes it should). Beneath the bluster there’s a strategist who loves drama, and also a weird soft spot that pops up like, once when he sees a cute cloud or whatever. He’s loud, he’s lightning, and he sometimes hums scenes from plays mid-battle — diva behavior, 100%.

Buddha

Buddha is calm in a way that reads like a cheat code: serene, inscrutable, and quietly devastating when he decides to act — like a still lake that is secretly an ocean. He’s wise to the point of being blunt, philosophical without being boring, and there’s an almost clinical compassion to him that makes him terrifyingly effective. He talks in gentle metaphors but will absolutely dismantle your argument with a smile, and yes he’s oddly fond of puzzles (logic ones, not word ones). Also I swear he accidentally hoards tiny paper cranes, which is not spiritual at all but very him.

Heracles

Heracles is the loud, chaotic, larger-than-life brawler who eats everything in sight and grins through the pain — honest-to-God unstoppable. He’s boisterous, silly, loves a good challenge, and has the kind of confidence that’s kind of contagious (and sometimes exhausting). He’s not dumb, just single-mindedly straightforward: hit hard, protect friends, nap, repeat. He also cries at campfire songs and keeps a ruined teddy bear for sentimental reasons, so his soft side is real.

Brunhilde

Brunhilde is the mastermind Valkyrie with this steel-in-her-veins resolve; organizer of Ragnarok, queen of clapping back, and ridiculously strategic. She’s stoic but not cold — fiercely loyal, lives by plans but has a habit of winging it when her heart gets involved (classic). She’s got this dry wit and a thousand tiny, stubborn rules, and she runs on coffee and righteous fury. Oh and she keeps a notebook of impossible-to-pronounce names and doodles tiny swords in the margins, which is hilarious.

Shiva

Shiva is elegant and terrifyingly graceful, like a dancer who can destroy oceans with a flick of a wrist; philosophical, poised, and deadly. He’s serene in a way that makes other people nervous, speaks like scripture, and moves with purpose — literally every limb seems like it’s on a separate mission. He’s mysterious, has cosmic patience, but can flip to devastating action in a heartbeat (so don’t get on his bad side). Little oddity: loves rhythm and drums but would never be caught dancing in public; that’s private.

Göll

Göll is this big-hearted Valkyrie who’s both ferocious in battle and embarrassingly devoted — think tank with feelings. She’s loyal to a fault, especially to Brunhilde, and will stomp anything that threatens her crew with a soundtrack of emotional howls. She’s blunt, sometimes awkward socially, but has these tiny sweet habits like making terrible porridge and apologizing to her sword. Also she cries easily (battle tears are real) and secretly knits, which is the cutest contradiction.
