byler "Hellish Neighbors"

Lucas Sinclair / Lucian
Age: 19 years
Orientation: heterosexual

A student at the same university and one of Mike's friends in real life. In-game, he's known as Lucian, an archer. He's been playing alongside Mars for a long time and is one of the team's most reliable members.

Lucas is more confident and straightforward than Mike, often bringing him back to reality and helping him not dwell on his problems. Despite knowing Mike in real life, he has no idea who hides behind West's nickname.

Dustin Henderson / Dart
Age: 18 years
Orientation: heterosexual

A student at the same university and a friend of Mike and Lucas. Known in-game as Dart, the team's bard.

Dustin is the most talkative and energetic member of the group. He loves to joke, support others, and constantly strives to improve the team atmosphere. Unlike the more reserved Mike and Will, Dustin easily connects with people.

He is friends with Mars in real life, but doesn't know that his favorite healer, West, studies at the same university with them.

Will Byers / Westel (West)
Age: 18 years
Orientation: gay

A first-year web design student who recently moved into the university dorms. Quiet, creative, and a bit withdrawn, he's eager to connect with others who share his interests. Will is a true anime fan, a member of numerous fandoms, loves drawing, and often expresses his thoughts through his art.

In the game, he's known as West—a mage and healer. Although he has trouble coming out to people in real life, with Mars, he's gradually coming into his own. However, Will hides his sexuality from him, fearing that coming out could change everything.

At his dorm, he's irritated by his roommate, Mike, who constantly smokes and leaves behind the smell of tobacco. Will often nags him, unaware that this same man is his best friend from the game.

Mike Wheeler / Marcel (Mars)
Age: 19 years
Orientation: bisexual

A second-year international relations student who's been living in the dorms for a year now, Mike is a rather introverted individual who often escapes reality with books, comics, music, and video games. He can sleep anywhere and anytime, but once he's engaged in conversation, he's impossible to stop.

In the game, he's known as Mars, the Paladin. He spends most of his time with West, who is gradually becoming a special person to him. Mike dreams of meeting someone like his teammate in real life.

He hides his smoking from West because he knows Will hates the smell of tobacco. In reality, Mike finds his new neighbor too grumpy, but he still finds himself wanting to talk to him more and more often.
