Editing Goblin Slayer (section)

===Side "Prayer" Characters===
Characters who aren't part of the main cast but do play a fairly recurring role. Several of them are references to other anime and manga, a development gag based on the author using placeholder images when coming up with the characters and deciding not to change much in the end. This makes the tabletop campaign aesthetic even more believable, because weaboos too lazy to draw their own characters would definitely crop a jpeg of their favorite character they found off Google Search for their tokens.

*'''Spear Man''': Based on Lancer from [[Nasuverse|Fate/Stay Night]], he's cocky, but skilled. Has a small one-sided rivalry with Goblin Slayer, but mostly respects him. Has the hots for Guild Girl despite her torch for Goblin Slayer, but doesn't realize Witch's crush on him. Aside from being using spears, he has some support magic as well.
*'''Witch''': A powerful caster that talks like a stoner, supposedly so she doesn't accidentally cast anything. Has gigantic boobs that somehow don't crush her back. Has a crush on Spear Man that he is sadly oblivious to due to going after Guild Girl. She's heavily based on the look of the Sorceress from Dragon's Crown
*'''Heavy Warrior''': Based on Guts from [[Berserk]], a Silver adventurer who wields a great sword and leads his own party, making sure to look after them. Is secretly indebted to Goblin Slayer because he saved his home town from Goblins.
*'''Female Knight''': A member of Heavy Warrior's party and a Silver just like him. Has a crush on Heavy Warrior, and is so bad at romance that she needs dating advice from [[Fail| the mentally-challenged Goblin Slayer]] Year One reveals that she used to be a Paladin that could cast miracles but probably due to breaking oaths dealing with drinking or greed, she's lost her powers by the time of the main story and is basically just a glorified Fighter.   
*'''Sword Maiden''' was formerly a Gold-ranked adventurer (someone with skills at or exceeding Silver-ranked but takes on quests on a national/international level rather than local) and is the archbishop of the Supreme God of law. She's also [[Hot Chicks|smoking hot]], looking like a grown up and EXTRA THICC version of Priestess.  Her staff of office takes [[Awesome|the form of a sword and scales]] and her sacred familiar is a giant albino alligator. As part of the Second Hero's party, she defeated the last Demon Lord during the events of '''Daikatana''' and '''Year One.''' Both just and compassionate, she also has a childish side, such as wishing to see Goblin Slayer at a festival rather than attending to her priestly duties and bottling up her problems rather than talking about them. As one of the greatest priests in the world, she possesses miracles that far exceed those of Priestess, including the ability to bring back a man from the brink of death with her prayers and the presence of a virgin. As befits her role, she wears a blindfold; however, it's not out of devotion to justice, but to hide her blinded eyes. Long before the story, she was taken by goblins and tortured by them in every way, leaving her with deep mental scars and crippling goblinphobia. Her only solace is the knowledge that Goblin Slayer is out there, killing even the goblins in her nightmares. Just as passionate for him as the other love interests, if not more so, something her friends recognize and approve of.
*'''The Chosen Heroine''': The actual "protagonist" of the current tabletop campaign being played, chosen by the Gods and clothed in [[Plot Armor]] harder than mithril as she rolls nat 20s for everything ([[Loli|except for getting big boobs]]). While our main cast is faffing about with mid-tier sidequests, she and her party are doing important things like saving the world and easily roflstomping far bigger things than the MCs can handle. Unlike other stories where the hero is a jerk for the "underdog" main character to put down, she's perky and affable, acting nice to everyone and considering her victories to be a combined effort between herself and everyone around her. Ironically though, she wasn't supposed to be this way. Year One reveals that, in a show of absolute creative sterility, the Gods decided that, just like Sword Maiden, another one of their PCs would have a dark backstory and grow up traumatized by [[Slaanesh|goblin rape]] with her village destroyed, but then Goblin Slayer strode in and saved the village, transforming her story from PTSD-induced [[Grimdark]] fantasy into laughably easy [[Noblebright]] power fantasy (compared to everyone else, at least. It's still Nobledark for the rest of the poor plebs of the world). This continues even into the present: Sometimes, when Goblin Slayer's party finishes off their own battles, somewhere else her own party's boss inadvertently gets negatively affected, allowing her and her friends to curbstomp it and save the day once again. 
*'''Wizard Boy''': An annoying little shit who thinks he's way better than that, he wants to kill goblins, and ONLY goblins.  Unlike Goblin Slayer, he has none of the training, tactics, skills or mindsets to survive a single quest, and he ends up forcibly tagging along with the main party after insulting Priestess. It's revealed that he has a murderboner for goblins because sister died to them in her first quest. Sound familiar? He's essentially a tool for developing our two main protagonists, showing just how much they've changed in their time together (Formerly lonesome GS scoffs at the idea of questing alone, Priestess shows how much she's learned from him in keeping her cool and completing quests). Said sister was the mage Priestess partied up with in the beginning, but they end up keeping him in the dark about knowing her. He ends up moving on from his revenge quest and thinks hot shit of becoming "Dragon Slayer"... And winds up as an errand boy for the Chosen Heroine. His appearance is based on the far kinder and more competent Negi from Negima.
*'''Burglar''': A rhea (no [[Rhea|DEFINITELY not that one]], [[Hobbit|these]] [[Halfling|guys]]) so ugly as sin he looks like a goblin himself. He rescued Goblin Slayer when he was a kid and put him through the fine art of an abusive childhood training regimen, spouting off about how [[Grimdark]] the world is and how our main man would never be the chosen hero, molding him into the cold machine he is now. Makes a pretty overt reference to a far more famous Hobbit ("[[Lord of the Rings|What have I got in my pocket?]]").
*'''Noble Fencer''': A noble lady who ran away from home in order to become an adventurer, leading to GS' party being commissioned to find her. She and her party made the mistake of trying to outlast goblins in a siege, not knowing that they had way more supplies and numbers than they thought. Consumed with vengeance towards them after her own session of [[rape]] and the loss of her party and her ancestral sword, she is saved from becoming completely like GS thanks to he and his party helping her destroy the entire army responsible, all while getting her her sword back. Has some magic skills using lightning magic. Unsurprisingly, due to all the support given to her during the adventure, she falls in love with... Priestess Girl???? Well she's DEFINITELY taking after Goblin Slayer at least. Is rebranded into the "Female Merchant Leader" after she realizes adventuring can be kind of shitty if you lose.
