The Heroes of Envell

As the game's boss, Morgarth has a rather distinctive, one might even say frightening, appearance. His overall body structure is anthropomorphic, but he has four arms instead of two. He stands approximately 2.7 meters tall, and his limbs, especially his legs, are proportionally much longer than those of a human. He has pale white skin and no hair, replaced by three thick, long appendages, which in the prototype resembled a jester's cap with dark bells. He has long, pointed ears (the left one has a small notch), a wide mouth with sharp teeth, almost always stretched into a smile, and no nose. Black patterns are present on his face and the base of the appendages on his head, also reminiscent of clown makeup. His large eyes lack irises and pupils and glow turquoise.

As the game's boss and ruler of Envell, Morgarth always wears an elegant black suit with a wide, high collar. He wears a purple rose in his lapel.

St. Petersburg, present day. Four friends—Art, Kira, Phil, and Vik—are the coolest gamers in school. They find an unusual laptop at school, which turns out to be a portal to the world of the game "Heroes of Envell." Unlike the computer version, the dangers and adventures of this game are real. The game's world is a mixture of the Middle Ages, steampunk, and far-future technology. The game's boss, Morgarth, wants to escape to the real world to turn it into a similar game. At the very last moment, the boys manage to destroy Morgarth, but at a high cost—the death of Melissa Viktorovna (Salamander).

Elena Viktorovna/Salamandra. The boys' geography teacher. She used to participate in game testing and played as a thief. She loved the game and could play it for months without a break. But after Morgarth's creation, everything changed. Morgarth became a threat, but Melissa believed he could be reasoned with. The creators disagreed and simply wanted to remove him. They quarreled, and Melissa was kicked off the team. Soon, she learned about the developer cube and the level editor, as well as the fact that her character was going to be removed. She couldn't bear it any longer, and after infiltrating the game, she made a deal with Morgarth, becoming a minion of the villain Salamander, changing her appearance into a large blue-green Salamander. She later helped the boys defeat him, sacrificing herself. In the game, she wears a white shirt with a black jacket, skirt, and boots, with green accents in her clothing and hair. Her hair is tousled at the back and has bangs. Melissa Viktorovna is a bard. She has a guitar on which she plays chords and uses certain musical techniques to create magical effects. Initially, Melissa is very friendly and slightly shy, speaking in a soft voice. Later, her true personality is revealed—she emerges as a self-confident, slightly brash girl, experiencing extreme gaming escapism, and her voice changes to that of her Salamander form.

Phil-Philipp Chernykh – energetic, cheerful, and self-assured, Phil tests his friends' patience. After all, Phil believes the real world exists only to interfere with his gaming. Therefore, Phil disdains relationships between friends, can offend others without even realizing it. He plays a mage. After setting his level to the maximum in the level editor, Phil became the king of the in-game kingdom.

Vik-Victor Smenkin is an excellent student and a bore. Vik is the complete opposite of his sister, Kira. The team's main pessimist, he constantly calculates the worst possible outcomes for any situation, is well-read, cautious, and prone to panic. His character in the game is an engineer. Vik is a bit of a coward, but at heart, he's a romantic dreamer.

Art-Artem Meshcheryakov is the team leader. Brave, decisive, and responsible. In the virtual world, Art's character is a knight with a sword and shield. Art boldly charges into close combat, and in times of danger, he's ready to protect his comrades with a force shield. He has feelings for Kira, but isn't particularly attentive to her feelings.

Kira, a troublemaker who helps homeless dogs at a shelter, is a cunning and cunning thief with a crossbow, mirroring her real-life demeanor. Kira excels at sabotaging the enemy from the rear, but she struggles in head-on confrontations without team support. Kira's outfit is dark purple with a turquoise gem on her chest (the gem grants invisibility). She loves Art and is willing to sacrifice her own interests for him. She also has a purple monster (familiar) named Creep.
