Mars is a 21-year-old photography student at UCSC. They are the main character of the visual novel, and, as such, there are three gender options, so it's important that their voice be androgynous.
[desperate] "Please, I'll do anything, please, just wake up, please..."
[teasing] "Wow, asshole, sorry that I'm good for you."
[slightly angry] "What? You thought I magically stopped having feelings for you? Guess again, dumbass. Even if I'd stopped with the romantic thing about you, you'd still be one of my best friends."
Kamon is a nonbinary vampire assassin, hired to kill Mars' ex-boyfriend, Damian. Acting under the pretense of being one of the clients of Damian, who works as a male escort, they hypnotize and attempt to kill him.
"Don't worry, little friend, I'll find him. And then I'll come for you as well."
"Damian, prodigal child of the Aristides, how long do you plan to keep on running? There's no way out."
"That was a mistake, boy. I was going to kill you painlessly."
Mars' mother, Candelaria, arrived in California from Mexico seeking a new life for her unborn child. Nearly two decades later, she is a US citizen with a master's in electrical engineering who opens her home to as many unwanted children as possible.
"I've seen the way you two look at each other, hihito. And where did Damian go last night, hm?"
"Hi, sweetie. Damian's fine. Well, he's grumpy and tired, but they're letting him out of the hospital."
"You poor boy. Sit down--sit, now. Let me get you something to eat, and then you can open your presents."
Fiona Stuart is a police officer who inherited second sight from her grandmother.
[horrified] "Jesus fuck!"
"I've seen some crazy shit, and that thing last night was definitely up there. Besides, your friend was in severe hypovolemic shock, he had no injuries other than a bitemark on his arm, and there was no sign of where over 700 mL of blood could have gone."
Peter is an old vampire hunter who has Seen Some Shit, who picks a fourteen-year-old Damian up out of a gas station and helps him get to LA.
[matter-of-fact] "I'd never take you back there. You come from Arbordale? The nest is gone. Someone finally got fed up with their shit. I was on my way over to do something about them, get nearly there and find out someone's beat me to the punch. I can see the scars on your neck and wrists. I know where you come from, kid. I don't particularly give a shit. D'you know where you're looking to go?"
[concerned] "Get in the car, son. We need to talk."
"Talent that strong, you have to learn to keep a lid on it or someone will put a bullet between your eyes to stop you from setting a city on fire."
Rose is Damian's first significant other. They are nonbinary.
[excited] Rose: "Okay, today's the day, we're bustin' out. Has Deirdre been by yet?"
[scared but defiant] "We're getting out of here anyway, one way or another."
[terrified and confused] "Damian, what's happening to me?"
Annabelle is a child vampire.
[reprovingly] "Language, Rose. Now come with me, both of you."
[confused and frightened] "Father, what's happening?"
Markus Aristide is the head of the Aristide clan of vampires.
[commanding] "Damian. Stop."
[cruel] "You may have Damian, darling. Rose, kneel down. And face Damian, I want him to see your face."
[angry] "KILL HIM!"
