The Anime Trope System: Stone vs. Viper, #11 a LitRPG [Alice Edition] (ATS)
Character list. You may skip this.
Clyde: the college boy from our world, who thought he was human his entire life. Main character. The Stone. It’s his story, therefore, I will keep this short. Kidnapped and thrown into a world that he came to embrace. He’d better. Many of us would love to be in his position---err, I mean, he’s the only being capable of learning all elements, skills through magic books, and has frightening hidden powers.
Alice: a beautiful, petite half-demoness, half-angel (angel type unspecified), with twin tails, complimenting long blonde hair, mysterious pink eyes. Clyde’s life mate and soulmate. She loves her sweets and her Clyde. Very powerful, very intelligent. She has the capabilities of ruling an entire planet, but when it comes to political matters, is a bit irresponsible. See volume 1…
The heir to a powerful demon throne known as Hades (her family name). While she doesn’t speak much of it, Hades holds a dangerous amount of power within the demon realm.
Harumi : a kind and caring girl with long pink-hair and breasts that often make other women jealous. She’s the best healer in the world. There’s also more to her than we think. How foxy!
She’s the most loved on the team and everyone would give their lives to protect her. Not that she needs protecting. When it comes to the power department, this young woman is not lacking! A wonderful cook.
Chika : a silver-haired, unpredictable girl, who’s love and LUST for Clyde seemingly transcends everything. Yandere. (Not the stabbing kind.) She’s the top student at the most powerful academy in the world. [Sato Academy is a college for the best of the best.] The best rogue! She’s a part of a really powerful family.
Natalia: a dark-haired super-witch who spends time assisting with political affairs of the House Hades, watching anime, and being mischievous. Stuck in the body of a child due to an unbreakable curse, the adorable loli-witch is one of the most hard-hitting powerhouses on the team. She can switch to her adult form for a very short period of time (no more than a few minutes.)
Kitome : a blue-haired girl with a short temper. She has the ability to change into a magical girl. A caring but firm sister (her brother is Yusuke.) Takes no one’s shit and sometimes anger is her default emotion, but she’s reliable and responsible. Her soft spot for Clyde peeks out unpredictably. She has no idea that’s she’s on her way to being the most powerful magical girl in existence. [Clyde suspects Tsundere.]
Tear: Alice’s succubus cousin and the one who taught her magic. She’s actually just two years older than the half-demoness. Tear is the driving force behind Clyde’s rising network. A young woman with dark hair, blue eyes, a Harumi-level bust and a seductive smile that could make a man fall to her feet, the succubus is the daughter of a demon lord who has close ties to the Supreme Demon lord.
Yuki: ex-head maid of a cruel demon named Nezerath, this purple-eyed, dark-haired beauty is a team heavy-hitter of power. While officially Clyde’s finance manager, she still runs the young man’s house as the head maid, against his protests. The demoness sometimes works with Tear behind the scenes for political matters. She also guards the house personally, which explains the lack of intruders. Her aura covers the barrier, but everyone’s used to it. She’s a highly advanced chef and very competitive. Harumi picks her brain or competes with her. Kuudere.
Melody : a red-haired half trickster demon, half dark goddess who is also a member of the Hades’ household due to a punishing favor. Aside from assisting Tear, she attends the academy. She and Clyde started off on the wrong foot—her maxed charisma caused trouble for everyone. Despite her intense beauty, she’s bad at seduction, a hopeless romantic, and often daydreams about romances she read in books, imaging Clyde as the male lead.
Maki: this purple-haired young woman is the most popular girl at Sato Academy and also has a powerful family to back her elite status. She often acts as the nice girl with every male in the school, having them fall at her feet, but when Clyde showed indifference, she became obsessed with him. At first, it was fun, just a game and a challenge—seduce him, but when a dark god took an interest, things grew weird. She committed a series of sexual assaults which would’ve surely landed her in prison. Clyde instead enslaved her, knowing that with her Ki-based powers, no prison could truly hold her. He saw a use for that power. Yandere.
Ming : a dark-haired young woman with one eye red, the other blue. Strikingly beautiful and a bit of a hopeless romantic. She is the Stone’s prophet, a person with the capability of locating very important items that could help him with his quest, linking with him to access Link-magic, and sometimes foresee when he’s in danger of getting a game over. Fortunately, a simple warning can instantly change that future. She’s the author of the Loli Saga.
Ruri : a petite, beautiful hellhound princess, with white hair that drapes just past her neck. As well as being Alice’s childhood friend, she also has a strong compatibility with Clyde. Really loves being petted. When she’s serious, her aura’s vast enough to cover an entire metropolitan area. Loves to read light novels and manga and watches a ton of anime. Ruri’s a special hellhound, lacking the dark features of an ordinary hellhound. Pale skin too.
Matsume: Ruri’s most faithful servant, personal bodyguard, and a loved friend. She’s also of a somewhat of a rare variant of hellhound. She houses the features of brown skin, dark brown hair, and a hunger for men. She controls this sexual appetite to serve Ruri to the best of her abilities.
Toru: brown-haired noble, whose spirit energy attracts monster girls like a magnet. Why it does, this is a complete mystery. He’s a skilled martial artist, incorporating the light element into his attacks. His blank stares are infamous for annoying or pissing off nearly everyone, especially Kitome and Chika.
Seth: a tall blond-haired young man who sports a surfer-like way of speaking. It is unclear to whether his hair is naturally blond or dyed. An easy-going person. Reliable—he’ll turn off his humor when it’s time to get things done.
Yusuke: Kitome’s brother. A blue-haired young man who is unintentionally a delinquent. Not counting schoolwork, the glasses-wearing boy splits his time between light novels and anime and beating up those who challenge him in his “territory.” He often has no ambition, though one wonders what could be behind this lack of desire. While his sister transforms into a magical girl, he becomes a ninja.
Aunder : the Viper himself. Our “antagonist” who lives for the honor of battle. An esper (from a warrior-race). Like Clyde, he was brought into Satovia against his will. Universally powerful, this man is feared. The soul taker was a nickname given to him on his home-world, though he doesn’t acknowledge it. He’s not evil, but will not back down from the sweet call of the fight. He’s on a journey to seek out the other “players,” following the rules of the game. However, his heart isn’t in it. His decisions will mostly depend on the journey. He single-handedly enslaved all three Venus sisters. Let’s not forget his love for the drink.
Su Yang: a Venus sister. Venus sisters are incredibly powerful sorceresses dedicated to Venus, the Goddess of Love and Sex. She’s a woman with long dark hair and alluring brown eyes, a beauty that transcends time. She began to fall for Aunder, because despite being the Viper (the Venus sisters know all about the stone-viper games), he was doing more good than anything. Liberating villages, slaying dragons, and saving children. It irritates her when the man blames what she feels in her heart on Stockholm syndrome. Her sister Oliva believes her to be a yandere, which is downright ridiculous. What woman wouldn’t get jealous if another woman approaches what is hers? She won’t let anyone else
have him. [No longer in the mortal plane?]
Olivia: a Venus sister. A tall, busty woman with dark blonde hair. She serves as Aunder’s tracker, presenting him with possible whereabouts of the other “players.” She’s the reason why Aunder found the others so easily, despite their vast distances apart. Because the Stone hasn’t imitated the others, she is unable to track him. At least not yet. [No longer in the mortal plane.]
Momo: a Venus sister. A white-haired cool beauty. Lacking in the breast department, she is often seen in more revealing clothing. She’s able to Jump the party vast distances, though Aunder prefers to travel by feet. She the best at hiding her emotions, not that the Viper cares. Neither of the Venus sisters can harm him due to the Soul Bond.
Princess Dire : a mysterious figure throughout the lore, known to be named after a curse that turns its victims into children. There is a possibility that the princess herself is a victim of the curse. Aunder rescued her from being publicly executed by a group of crazy villagers who practiced witch hunting.
Julius: Seth’s older brother and ex-member of a powerful cult. Bound to Aunder as a member of the forgotten party, he shares a mutual discomfort of the Viper with Momo. It is unknown to what use Aunder has for him.
Dark: the Leaf. A chuuni and an interloper from Earth; aka a “player.” Only five interlopers are allowed in the stone-viper games; however, many watchers consider them illegal, along with any other intruder. Dark’s element is…well, dark. Brought there by a guide of his own, a green-haired entity named Selkie, the young man is on a comical mission to…take over the world. Or so he says aloud. The truth is, Satovia is an escape of his horrific old life on earth. He’s soul-searching. Unfortunately, when he thought he found a place of belonging, the Viper showed up and forced him to abandon them. Selkie was unsuccessful at getting him to return. He did not feel he had the right to show his face to the maids and butlers. He can never face Ikumi again.
Neko: a beast kin or catgirl, who’s an observer in a family that supported the Stone for many years. Though it seemed like this time around they didn’t want to involve themselves with the stone-viper games, but Neko insisted on it. Long white hair with cat ears and tail, she has way more power than she let on. Mischievous with an odd sense of humor, she’s always reliable.
Sazuki: a strikingly beautiful young woman with long black hair and grey eyes. The student council president. One of Harumi’s best friends. She’s sometimes referred to as the ice queen, although she isn’t cold all the time. She’s prideful.
Airi : one of Harumi’s best friends and her magic and combat teacher. Airi is one of the most powerful adventurers around. Legendary among the adventurer community. An inch shorter than Harumi with dark purple hair, milk chocolate skin, and light brown eyes. She’s secretly envious of Harumi’s breasts.
Clyde refers to her as TheLegend27 in his head, possibly sarcastically.
Kiko : Sazuki’s younger sister. Short black hair, grey eyes. She was turned into a vampire a little after Airi left. The vampire blood running through the young woman gives her the sexual cravings of a monster girl. And with Clyde saving her, her daydreams are often about him.
Detective Tetra: a dark elf/ Alethian in charge of the investigation of missing Lot City people. Long black hair complimenting dark skin, large breasts, and hazel eyes. She’s a dedicated detective, which gets on people’s nerves.
Hinako : a professor at Sato academy. Thirty years old, unmarried and single. Her friends call her a workaholic, but she just isn’t very social. Long dark hair, curvy and beautiful, even some of the married male professors had tried and failed to get a date with her. Soon, she was simply dismissed as the work-robot, which infuriates Hinako. She took quite the interest in Clyde when he openly saw her as a woman and not a workaholic machine.
Clare : a shopkeeper during the day, a maiden during the night. Long black hair, striking blue eyes with breasts that are almost on par with Harumi’s. Her weapon of choice is the bow.
Sahara: leader of the Fireside magical girls. Long silver hair, red eyes. Cool, calm, and collected: she is the picture of serenity. Powerful and resourceful. The FM has a history of trying to recruit Yusuke and Kitome into their group. Clare’s shop has been booming ever since she opened the café half of it. The maid café on 21st Street may start to notice…
Noona: former demon lord of Niyoto. An adorable, beautiful demoness with long blonde hair, gray eyes, a large bust, and a rather unique personality. Very kind and pure. Often cosplay/roleplays characters she enjoyed from an anime or TV show. Her servants adore her, many willing to give their lives just to protect her smile.
Sophia : a former Viper maiden, magically stolen and changed into a Stone maiden. The raid boss of volume 6, the party was forced to fight her while she acted under the influence of crusader mind control and experimentation. Truthfully, Sophia just wants to be useful and loved. She never actually met the Viper.
Tessa: the Wind. Clyde’s childhood friend from earth. Long forest-green hair, matching eye color, pointy ears like an elf but she isn’t truly an elf, and average breasts. Her heroism almost got her elected as a nation’s queen, that is, until the Viper appeared, crushing that dream to goo. She was saved by Venus, given a purpose, hope, and protection. Tessa serves the goddess, but cannot help but feel a bit uneasy at times about her. Her earth name is Arisa.
Kanako : a genie. A beautiful tan-skinned girl with pointy ears, long purple-white hair tied in a ponytail, and Harumi-level breasts. She wears a range of gold jewelry: a necklace, bracelets, rings on each finger, and even star-shaped hair pins. Kind and sweet, sometimes a little childish and cheerful. Sometimes her feelings are easily hurt.

Kazumi, Harumi’s friend. Perverted girl with the glasses.
Ming’s friends/minions: Han, Peng, Tyrone (Kazumi’s boyfriend), and Zack.
Ashard , fairy son of Titania the Fairy queen. He’s a man of mystery at this point, but is definitely a creature of the light.
Crusader champion, Chizuru: A beautiful young woman with a secret love for anime, but of course is forced to hide it from her fellow crusader team. Raised by the Crusaders, but kept out of the loop, she unknowingly served as their figurehead: travel, achieving great deeds: assisting the poor, defending villages, etc in the name of the Crusaders. After meeting Clyde, she agreed to help defeat the Order. Clyde asked her to do something that puts her life at great risk. Now he must await for the return of the brave beautiful girl. Funny thing, she has his phone number, but is too nervous to call. Especially after the god-like display.
Myriad: a thunderbird, and dark’s party member. Curious nature loves to eat. Harpy family.
Fumi: a very kind slime girl with the ability to shift into human form. She is Toru’s lover.

of Maya who actually attends Sato academy.

Amaterasu “Juliette”: Melody’s mother. She Who Dawns Time. A legendary trickster demoness, wife of Platus, Dark God of Utopius. Crimson red hair like her daughter. However, she has unnerving glowing eyes. Melody does not share this trait. (She was a major 3-phase boss of volume 8. Clyde pulled a miracle summoning Over-Stone 75%, easily defeating her.)
Platus, Dark God of Utopius: Melody’s father. He is not to be mistaken for He Who Paints the Night, a rogue dark god that impersonated Platus. Platus wants to harshly punish his daughter for accidentally breaking the realm’s core. She couldn’t control her immense strength back then. He sealed it as a result. He’s an angry, kingly figure who will do whatever it takes to get things done. Even if it meant hurting loved ones.
