Russell Seager (End Roll): He's like, 14, and also has killed a lot of people. Instead of getting the death penalty, Russell has been enrolled in a "rehabilitation" program. Every day, Russell delves into a dreamworld meant to inspire him to reform, but instead the sweet facade of people he's killed only inspires guilt and regret..
Why I like this dude: End Roll is like, my first ever true RPGmaker experience. I was definetly too young to understand End Roll, and going back to it when I wasn't too young sure was. Experience. End Roll. Very depressing game. Very good game also. Just like Russell. Russell is also very depressing. His mounting regret is the main focus of the game, and man, it hits. Everything in the dream world is just an extension of his psyche. You bet your ass End Roll had a hand in inspiring Omori. Russell did it before Sunny made it cool (it being throwing people down the stairs)
Estio (Estio): Ever since he was litte, Estio has had the strange ability to sense the hearts of others. Ostracized from his hometown, Estio is finally fed up with it all and moves out on the day he becomes an adult. But out in the world at large, people pay a different sort of attention to his abilities....
Why I like this dude: Initially the story of Estio feels VERY cinderella (child bullied by siblings only for magical being to grant them new clothes) but then Estio just says "fuck this shit i'm out" and LEAVES. iconic. ALSO. the chapter where estio realizes he can control the hearts of others too and uses it to kill like four people is so fucking amazing it lives in my brain. This poor abused kid gradually becoming more and more selfish at the expense of those he thinks deserves it FUCKS. we stan negative character development. his best friends are a black cat, a gorilla, and a cactus. yes, a cactus. it can talk because it ate his blood.
