The God Slayer Characters: Meet the Heroes and Villains
Character cards, roles, abilities, and how each figure shapes The God Slayer story.
The God Slayer characters define the stakes of Cheng's journey. Each ally and antagonist embodies an element, a faction, or a philosophy about Qi. The God Slayer uses these personalities to deliver exposition and to give gameplay bonuses: allies unlock crafts, Celestials drop rare cores, and mentors unlock new traversal tricks. Below are the key faces and why they matter to The God Slayer progression.
Character arcs tie back to mechanics. As you side with Star Fall Society, you gain stealth tools; align briefly with Celestial defectors and you learn high-risk, high-reward combos. The God Slayer rewards players who listen, explore, and revisit NPC hubs. Cross-link to the story page for lore context and back to the The God Slayer homepage for authority.
