==Characters==

===Kazuma Satou===
Our protagonist. On Earth, he was a shut-in video game nerd who literally nobody cared about because all he ever focused on was playing video games while not giving others anything in return, to the point where his parents laughed at his undignified death. In the fantasy world, he's a greedy selfish prick who was hoping for a fun adventure and instead finds himself struggling to make ends meet, especially with the idiots in his party holding him back.

Despite his rough exterior, Kazuma does have a nice side to him. He frequently complains about the idiots he's stuck with, but while he doesn't like to admit he '''does''' care about them, even Aqua. As greedy as he is, he also refuses any monetary rewards when his party fixes a problem they started in the first place.

On paper his poor stats (barring Luck, which canonically is in the 600-range despite the fact that the stats of many of the high-end adventurers like Aqua top up at double-digits) give the feeling Kazuma would still be a loser. However, his gamer skills do come in handy when he's in a world that operates on RPG mechanics as he's smart enough to pick and chose a number of useful abilities. On top of that, his cunning allows him to prevail over much stronger enemies despite his party members, or in some cases because of them since he's smart enough to find ways to utilize the useful traits they do have.

===Aqua===

The unlucky goddess of water who Kazuma dragged as his cheat item. How unlucky is she? Nobody believes she's a goddess, including her own worshipers, and despite having some very strong abilities she keeps running into enemies who are immune to them. She is an egotistical imbecile as well, between that and her bad luck she causes almost as many problems as she solves. Not helping is that she radiates a divine aura which means she is a ''literal'' monster magnet. Between spending skill points on useless party tricks, to wasting money on alcohol, to her spoiled brat personality, there's a reason why some people outright hate Aqua.

Despite her idiocy (her INT stat is stuck at single-digits and will NEVER improve because, being a deity, she's unable to spend skill points on stat buffs), being a goddess does give Aqua some broken abilities and every now and again she pulls out a useful new one. Among other things, she can revive the dead as long as there is a corpse left, which for better and for worse has happened to Kazuma multiple times. If she weren't so stupid she would likely be able to solo the entire adventure. Sadly, the majority of her abilities are still useless either because they are massive overkill (summoning ''town-flooding deluges'' when trying to put out a fire, or purifying a hot spring and ''removing its beneficial properties in the process''), or because they are super-specific. She may have abilities that can insta-fuck [[demon]]s and the [[undead]], but there ain't many of those monster types running around, certainly not when they're starting out.

Like Kazuma, she isn't heartless. Despite her vendetta with the undead she is capable of being nice to the odd good undead she comes across. She does actually like Kazuma but will never admit it.

===Megumin===

A young and extremely powerful wizard who comes from a sub-race of humans known for being adept at magic and chewing scenery in whatever ways they can. If Megumin focused on having a good spell selection she would be the greatest wizard of her generation. Unfortunately for Kazuma, she's only interested in casting the ''Explosion'' spell, the strongest spell in the world - also regarded by almost everyone else as impractical due to its high mana cost and combination of the two worst aspects of old-school [[List of D&D Spells|Fireball and Disintegrate]]: the explosion can kill allies both directly and indirectly (say, caving in the roof on top of you), and anything it kills doesn't drop any loot. On top of this, she specs her stats into creating the biggest explosion possible, so using the spell leaves her too exhausted to even move after using it - and for the icing on the cake, she's basically addicted to the erotic sensation (!) of doing this, so she wants to use Explosion at every available opportunity. Megumin also shares her race's cultural propensity for being as Chuuni as possible, usually monologuing some edgelord shit when introducing herself... or doing magic... or explaining why she wears an eyepatch when she doesn't actually need to.

Thanks her reliance on an impractical spell, Megumin couldn't get anybody besides Kazuma to accept her into party, and even then she had to basically force him. Despite his annoyance with her, the two do care about each other deep down and eventually become a couple.

One thing to note is that, unlike Aqua, Megumin ''does'' realize that her problems are largely self-inflicted, and at one point, she actually gives her skill card to Kazuma so that ''he'' can level her up, because she wants to be a better mage for him but she can't muster the will to purchase a non-Explosion-related spell on her own. That Kazuma chooses to level up Explosion for her instead of buying the other magic skills because he cares about her feelings and wants her to be happy, is either heartwarming or [[rage]]-inspiring depending on how you feel about their relationship and/or Megumin herself.

===Darkness===

The tank of the party. She is a hot and extremely powerful knight, who sadly can't hit the broad side of a barn because her masochism means she is more interested in other things hitting her. She's so masochistic that insulting her actually turns her on, and as a running gag her desire to be harmed or violated even creeps out the villains. It's implied a few times that she might have romantic feelings for Kazuma but he's turned off by her masochism.  Underneath her masochist exterior, Darkness is actually the kindest and most selfless of the protagonists. Darkness also takes her duty to protect others very seriously; when she forgets her kink, you know some shit's going down.

On the rare occasion when Darkness actually hits things she proves almost unstoppable, which fits as her sheer resilience means she rarely takes any real damage.
