Rayonne de Bellemont
Ray is a young boy from a village in Banivia that is full of demon slayers, or so he tell us. He joins the party because he is in some sort of quest to become a complete demon slayer. Auria doesn't believe him and think he is just a dumb farmboy. At first.. Ray is the closest thing to a true hero in Vacant Sky, but this end up giving him a lot of problems.
Turns out he is actually telling the truth. He does come from a village of demon slayers and the existence of demons is a bic Chekhov's Gun since Auria is (sort of) a demon herself.
- Butt Monkey
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: Ray has most of the traits from a typical heroic protagonist. Sadly, he is not the protagonist nor is Vacant Sky a standard RPG setting.
- Demon Slaying
- Good Is Dumb
- One Thing Led to Another: Vel disguised as Auria kisses him and they have sex. Maybe. Needless to say, Vel isn't very pleased and this come to bite him in the ass later.

- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Blaise will do anything to keep people safe, and if that involves shooting allies, so be it.
Vanquish
An old friend of Blaise. He is kind, polite and will offer Auria really good advice when asked.
- An Axe to Grind
- Reluctant Warrior: Vanquish is unwilling to take part in conflits and is always looking for a way to avoid them. Like Seri, this causes him a lot of grief, when he tries to stop the Virad by spreading word of their atrocities before the beginning of Vacant Sky. The Virad politely answered to this by sacrificing banivians until Vanquish rescinded his claims and took credit for the slaughter.
Rien
An orkan researcher that works in a university in Svaneholm. Rien will help the party enter Maladorr Manor and will join you. She knows a lot about Virad, Ejaro and Halo Locks. Unfortunately, her resourcefulness is accompanied by a condescending attitude.
Veliraden Altaya
A beautiful girl that is connected to the mysterious coma affecting young men in Boris Island. Vel joins the party after she and Ray start dating.
