People in the Real World:
? Kyle – our main protagonist and hero (?) of the story!
? Kyle’s Grandfather – CEO of VRIM (Virtual Reality Information Media)
? Kyle’s Mother – Kyle’s mom, who works long, grueling hours as a nurse. No nonsense woman, who isn’t active in her child’s life half as much as she wants to be.
? Franklin – Sera’s father. Huge mountain of a man, with more money than you can shake a stick at.
? Sera(phine) – red-haired, busty neighbor’s daughter. Grew up with and around Kyle and now they’re both struggling with mixed feelings as to their relationship. Almost siblings, yet attracted to each other and wanting more – do they dare take that leap forward to try and become something else?
? Fanny – Sera’s eccentrically creative mother. Writes, produces plays, tells stories, gets lost in her own fantasies and sometimes loses track of the rest of the world.
? Heather – Sera’s best friend. Generally has a strong dislike for most men/boys.
? Darryl – Scrawny, tall young man with a patch of scattered stubble he likes to call a beard.
? Jason – overweight, shy boy. Suffers from hypothyroidism, which causes him to be tired all the time and have an excessively slow metabolism. He’s arguably the smartest of them all.
? William – hyperactive, non-stop runt. William is simply William. He has one speed – William – and does everything at his own pace. Impossible to keep up with.
People in Winter’s Tale:
? Nan – Kylie’s caretaker at the palace. Sacrificed her own life to help Kylie escape when the council order her death. Dropped one single copper coin on death.
? Kylie – Kyle’s Character. Female Alter-elf, proficient mainly in healing and producing unreasonably huge amounts of mana.
? Seran – Sera’s Character. Male Wildman. Brash, wildly unstoppable warrior style character. Has earned an unique hammer that levels as he does.
? Lady Heather – Heather’s Character. Lady is actually her first name and Heather is her last name in game. She’s an elven wizard who specializes in fire magic.
? Crusher Badass – William’s Character’s actual name. He thought it was funny, changed his mind, and now only answers to ‘William’ in game – but he is, indeed, “Crusher Badass”.
? Johnb Jovi – Darryl’s Character. A Rock Giant, who has obtained the rank of Rock Tosser.
? Drun Kindwarf – Jason’s Character. A dwarf who likes to drink a lot, he’s a DrunKin dwarf. Plays a smith and isn’t interested in anything except drinking, home life, and smithing.
Places:
? X’entia – Land of the High Elves, where Kylie was exiled from and lost her position as 2nd princess.
? Unknown Forest – The place where Kylie was transported to when Nan sacrificed her life to help her escape the X’entian Palace.
? Franklin’s – Local restaurant (sawdust floors, rough wood hewn counter, with log table and chairs); an eccentric place!
? Ridgewood Private Academy – The school which Kyle, Sera, and all the others attend
? Berkshire Republic – Country where William started Winter Tale with his character, though he didn’t stay there long.
? Berk – large starting city in the Berkshire Republic where many humans can begin the game at.
Terminology:
? VRIG -- Virtual Reality Interactive Gear
? NID - Neural Interface Device (outdated and outlawed technology predating the VRIG)
? Azamon Online – Large online internet shopping company, not at all related to Amazon Online. :P
? “Sounds good. Save me some.” – An inside joke between Kyle and Sera’s family. Mostly nonsensical, can be used at any time and for nearly any purpose.
