* '''Shiroe''': Real name Kei Shirogane, Shiroe is a socially-awkward postgrad engineering student in the real world, and the main character of the story.  An eight-year veteran of the game, and an alumnus of the legendary raid group Debauchery Tea Party, he's infamous for his somewhat shady (even if ultimately noble) way of resolving problems.  Unusual for stories of this type, Shiroe isn't a one-man powerhouse capable of soloing raid instances on his own; instead he plays an '''Enchanter''', the LEAST-PLAYED CLASS IN THE GAME, a support caster that specializes in buffs and debuffs with almost no offensive spells.  While initially reticent at joining formal guilds, he eventually forms one, the eponymous '''Log Horizon''', when he finally accepts that to be able to make a difference in this new world, he needs to have the influence being a Guildmaster gives.

* '''Akatsuki''': A solo player prior to meeting Shiroe, Akatsuki plays an '''Assassin''', and serves as their party's source of burst damage.  Although she's [[Loli|petite young woman in the real world]], her PC was initially a tall ''male'', but thankfully one of Shiroe's unused gender-change potions fixed that.  Despite at max level by the time the Elder Tale game update happened, ''unlike'' Shiroe or Naotsugu, Akatsuki has no experience with endgame content like raid dungeons, and as a result is relatively under-equipped (think just green or blue store-bought or crafted equips).  This, alongside with real-world hangups about her height, leads to a lot of these insecurities bleeding into her interactions with Shiroe.

* '''Naotsugu''': Another Debauchery Tea Party alumnus, Naotsugu is an easy-going '''Guardian''' whose jovial and outwardly perverted persona belies a very VERY competent Tank player (reflected in his skillset choice and equipment).  A salaryman and insurance salesman in the real world, Naotsugu is one of the few people who don't have reservations being stuck in Elder Tale, as he has little to look forward to back in the real world but a daily grind in the office.

* '''Nyanta''': Yet ''another'' Debauchery Tea Party alumnus, Nyanta is a Catfolk '''Swashbuckler''' (sense a pattern here?) as well as a chef par-excellance, and one of his discoveries related to food kickstarts much of the plot of the second book.  Although usually quite the cool cat, there is a double edge to his personality.  Nyanta is at least a decade older than Shiroe, and it's implied that he has suffered tragedies.  Mizufa's flippant attitude towards death and suffering was enough to provoke him in the ''Route 43'' arc, and although fellow Tea Partier Kazuhiko intervened to stop him, Nyanta is still the only member of Log Horizon ever shown actually trying to kill a lander outright.  

The Guild also has a few "junior" members (nicknamed by the fandom as "Scrub Horizon"), made up of newbies to Elder Tale.

* '''Minori''': A '''Kannagi''', and Tohya's twin sister. She and her brother partied with Shiroe, with the latter helping the two newbies gain their first levels.  A short time after they parted ways with Shiroe though, the Catastrophe happened, and finding themselves stuck they were among the newcomers imprisoned and taken advantage of by Hamelin.  After being freed, she and Tohya join Log Horizon in gratitude. She has a bit of a schoolgirl crush on Shiroe, and tries to emulate his role as a master strategist, with limited success.

* '''Tohya''': A '''Samurai''', and Minori's twin brother. A newbie like Minori, Tohya's taken the Catastrophe relatively better than his sister if only because, in Theldesia, ''he can finally walk again'' (as he was stuck in a wheelchair beforehand). Compared to Minori (who seems to be morphing into a moe Shiroe 2.0), Tohya is much more straightforward and a tad more idealistic.  It's not surprising that he and Naotsugu get along very well. 

* '''Isuzu''': A '''Bard''', Isuzu was initially one of the more reluctant participants of Elder Tale, having only joined because of a promotional free trial period brought by the new update.  Like Minori and Tohya, she was taken advantaged of by Hamelin, but was freed by Shiroe and the Crescent Moon Alliance. She was initially part of Crescent Moon, but joined Log Horizon after the joint training camp.  Isuzu is one of the very few adventurers with actual skill as a musician and in the later chapters works a side job performing solo-covers of music from Japan.  

* '''Rudy''' / '''Rundlehouse Code''': The '''Sorcerer''' of the guild, Rudy is flashy, flamboyant, and generally odd. Unlike everyone else in the guild, he isn't a PC at all; instead, he was a Lander, and indeed joined the training camp incognito, before Isuzu found out his true identity.  As a Lander, any death could have been very VERY final, but thanks to Shiroe he managed to gain the "Adventurer" profession, which bypasses many of those issues.   

A few other members join up as well:

* '''Tettora''': A '''Cleric''', Tettora is a perky pink-haired tease patterned around being an idol singer, despite not being able to sing to save her life.  Despite first impressions, Tettora is a max level who participated in the Abyssal Shaft raid.  Much like Akatsuki, Tettora is someone trapped in a character of the opposite gender (in this case, a male teenager stuck in a female avatar) but why he never took advantage of gender-change potions is a question for the ages.

*'''Leila''' and '''Litka Mofur''': A '''Monk''' and '''Druid''' respectively, they are twin Ancients who were the founders of the Knights of Izumo, the regional military-patrol force. A major plot point in the series is that said Knights have vanished at the same time as the Adventurers and Landers changed, and thus their remaining behind is a part of the deeper mystery surrounding the world. They join Log Horizon after revealing they REMEMBER Tettora from when the world was just a game, further confusing everyone involved and blurring the line on what the world actually is.

This roster obviously lacks one class, '''Summoner''', which is significant.  Shiro's alternate character named '''Roe2''', is a summoner with the vampirella subclass.  Roe2 resembles a female version of Shiro and was created on the test server (the moon).
