[[File:chara auria 7314.png|thumb|125px]]
Auria is a seventeen years old high school student that is shot by a cop on the way to her father's house to spend the weekend. When she wakes up, lost in a place far away from the United Provincies and without memories of what happened after she died, things [[It Got Worse|get MUCH worse]].
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Auria include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Starts as a type I, but when Act III starts, she is basically a type IV.  {{spoiler|depending on your actions, she can shift up or even down on the scale.}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not call her plain!
* [[Character Development]]: Compare Auria from Act I with Auria from Act III.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Largely subverted with her, who has red hair but stays generally morose and deadpan throughout, only occasionally driven to defiance by extreme circumstances.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: In most of the endings this happens to her, even the good ones. Which leads to...}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]]}}
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Takes several during the story.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Zaq include:}}
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Has a little sister called Kiyjala who lost her legs in a bomb raid during the war.  {{spoiler|She is the reason he left for the Alibaas capital with Seri. He knew there he could find foreign doctors that could help his sister even if the new government had Orka's support, meaning there was a possibility he would have to abide to orkan traditions and laws.}}
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Has shades of this during Act I but then{{spoiler|His backstory is expanded a little in the beginning of Act III and we learn about his sister and remember what he did to protect Seri in Act II...}}
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Seri.  {{spoiler|Specially right before he dies, which makes things even sadder.}}
* [[The Medic]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Helps Seri escape near the end of Act II at the cost of his own life.}}

=== Rayonne de Bellemont ===
[[File:chara ray 8357.png|thumb|125px]]
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. {{spoiler|At first.}}. Ray is the closest thing to a true hero in Vacant Sky, but this end up giving him a lot of problems.

{{spoiler|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.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Ray include:}}
* [[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]]:  {{spoiler|Vel disguised as Auria kisses him and they have sex. [[Did They or Didn't They?|Maybe]]. Needless to say, Vel isn't very pleased and this come to bite him in the ass later.}}

=== Blaise Tearson ===
[[File:chara blaise 3680.png|thumb|125px]]
Blaise is the one who shot Auria. Needless to say, they don't get along very well at first, but he joins the party anyway.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Blaise include:}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Gives Auria a run for her money.
* [[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.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by Vanquish include:}}
* [[An Axe to Grind]]
* [[Reluctant Warrior]]: Vanquish is unwilling to take part in conflits and is always looking for a way to avoid them.  {{spoiler|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 [[Sarcasm Mode|politely answered to this]] by sacrificing banivians until Vanquish rescinded his claims and took credit for the slaughter.}}
