Gaea
"Class : Summoner

Guild position : Nuker

Real life name : Gabrielle Jolivet"

"Played by : Gabrielle Jolivet (Stage Name)"

Latest addition to the guild for the two first seasons, she joined only because Horizon cannot be played solo. She's set on cumulating as many credits (game currency) as she can, to the point that looting dead enemies behind her guildmate's backs, charming her way out contributing to guild's common funds, refusing to engage in a battle under the pretext that expensive repairs are sure to be needed, scamming and blackmailing are not beyond her.

"Gaea: "Everyone, do what I just wrote on the discussion board.""
 * The Beast Master: In the books and comic. Two creatures have been seen : a giant pig-like creature and a bird that she acutally stole.
 * Dirty Coward: One of the few female cases.
 * Dream Sequence: Of Fantöm and Omega Zell having a romantic moment. The way it's depicted is quite unrealistic since Omega Zell tends to go almost mute in the presence of Fantöm who either ignores him or looks at him as if he's crazy..
 * Genre Savvy: When she has to fight against in the Season 3 finale, she refuses Couette and Ivy's help on the grounds that It's Personal since . She however doesn't let them leave the scene because she's aware she may need help later.
 * Gold Fever

 * Lady of Black Magic
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Money Fetish: Greed is with no doubt her deadly sin.
 * Not Me This Time:.
 * Puppy Dog Eyes
 * Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful: Her Puppy Dog Eyes are basically that.

Arthéon


"Class : Warrior

Guild position : Tank / Guild Master

Real life name : Stanislas 'Stan' Châtelain"

"Played by : Jonathan Fourcade"

After getting his account reset as punishment for Real Money Trade and finding no other guild that would accept him at level 1, he was chosen as successor to Master Zen when he ended up in jail. Team parent without completley falling into Team Mom or Team Dad, he's both the glue holding the guild together and its mentor. As a level 100 character, he was part of Justice guild, the top guild of Horizon.

"Arthéon: I already tried. But Fantöm isn't answering."
 * Badass Beard
 * The Big Guy
 * My Beloved Smother: His mother is very meddling, so he had to gave up any social occupation like sports according to novels. She also used to make Artheon stop playing at 8.00 PM every night. She also sent him to Boarding School of Horrors in season 3.
 * Bottomless Bladder: He was closed up in the garage of Master Zen's hiding place for a whole week.
 * Or his escape may have been precisely because Master Zen forgot to tie him up correctly after letting him go to the bathroom.
 * Only Sane Man
 * Playing Sick: He has often done the trick to his controlling mom, so he was able to play all day long, also using it to miss class.
 * Reluctant Ruler: Word of God and the comic hint towards him fitting the trope after Master Zen ended up in jail, by taking leadership beacause he thought Omega Zell and Sparadrap could only do worse than him.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Skewed Priorities:
 * When he tells about Tenshirock whiping out his fromer guild's accounts, he mentions that some players "killed themselves or worse, stoopped playing Horizon".
 * After getting kidnapped and detained in a garage for a whole week and manging to escape, the first thing he does is got back on Horizon. Somewhat deconstructed in that case since Master Zen was just about to get Judge Dead to give the Noob guild's leadership back to him under the pretense that Arthéon hadn't shown up in a week.
 * Tyrant Takes the Helm: Inverted in his case, given that Master Zen is hinted to have been quite a tyrant.
 * Wham! Line: While the name of his former guild is still unknown, Omega Zell asks him to send a message to one of his old friends that has information they need :


 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He refuses, even if it's a matter of life or death, to ask Game Masters anything. He has a phobia of them since they erased his level 100 character.

Omega Zell


"Class : Assassin

Guild position : DPS

Real life name : Morgan Lavande"

"Played by : Julien Guellerin"

Reporter for a Girl Show Ghetto channel by day, Olydri's most sexist and egocentric assassin by night, his dream is to join Justice guild and be good enough to beat Fantöm. The main obstacles on his way ? The presence of a n00b and a girl (later three of them) that drags his guild's level down and his tendency to get in embarassing situations while trying to be well seen by his ideal colleagues... or just because Tenshirock needs a lab rat.

"Omega Zell: Before logging off, [Arthéon] made me Guild Master."
 * Ambiguously Gay: There's his job, his name, but also his real life behavior, especially his food choices (biologic salads according to the first book). Add Tenshirock who likes punishing him by blocking his avatar in dancing mode and Gaea's insinuations that his admiration of Fantöm is acutally a celebrity crush. He also sides whith Sparadrap when he gives liking the way his clothes look as a reason for not changing them (to something with better stats) in a long time. His sister added an extra layer by mentionning he took classical dancing when he was nine.
 * Bare-Fisted Monk: At the beginning of the series.
 * Cassandra Truth: Arthéon interprets quite a few of his "Gaea is tricking you again" warnings as part of his sexism in the early part of the series.
 * Catch Phrase: "Girls can't play MMORPG!", "Arthéon will never believe me..." and "Girls aren't gentically programmed for X".
 * Curb Stomp Battle: He got on the losing side of one when wanted to have a fight with Saphir to prove he was worthy of the Justice guild.
 * Dream Sequence: The first has him winning a duel against Fantöm... using powers an assassin can't possibly have. The second one has him confronting Tenshirock after being given the combined powers of Fantöm and Judge Dead and asking him to put an end to what he assumes to be his current "getting people off MMORPG" plan : having girls start playing them.
 * Effeminate Misogynistic Guy
 * Funetik Aksent: Or at last has a thick southern France accent.
 * Gender Blender Name
 * He-Man Woman Hater: The reason may be that girls make him suffer a lot at his job.
 * Highly-Visible Ninja: During her brief time at his avatar's control in Season 1, Gaea notices he only has 3 points in stealth at level 10 and points out that white is a lousy color for an assassin (he's hinted to have chosen the color only so his clothes would match the Justice Guild tabard he wearing during the first episodes). In the second book, he fails to take his cursor in consderation while following a group of people.
 * Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Fantöm was an assassin before  he became a Twilight warrrior according to the books. It's implied to be the only reason he choose that that class.
 * Man in White: His first outfit.
 * Mistaken for Gay: Gaea seems to believe it, but a discussion with Saphir in Season 4 revealed that in addition to the mentionned above He-Man Woman Hater issue, he may be not having a gilfriend to be able to focus on the game ; whether it started before or after he knew of her criteria is unknown.
 * Some fans like to think he actually has a Celeb Crush on Fantöm.
 * Neat Freak : His flat looks like a model one.
 * Politically Incorrect Hero
 * Pride: His deadly sin without hesitation.
 * The Scream: Upon finding out about.
 * Straw Misogynist
 * The Team Wannabe: For Fantöm's team, when he's not picturing himself as his successor..
 * Took a Level In Badass:.
 * Wham! Line : In Season 4 premiere :



Sparadrap


"Class : Priest

Guild position : Healer

Real life name : Kevin Lepape"

"Played by : Frédéric Zonafelli"

Both a n00b and a Man Child, with a lousy memory to top it off. Despite being as eager as anyone else to reach a higher level (when not convinced he's already at the top), his main focus in Horizon is his pet collection and trying to get players to join the guild, regardless of the faction to which they belong. In battle, his aiming trouble frequently makes him heal enemies instead of his teammates.


 * A-Team Firing: He always hits the wrong targets with his healing spells as well as his attack ones. As a result, Revive Kills Zombie is the only way he ever kills anything.
 * Catch Phrase: "Do you want to join my guild ?", "It's ____ (insert adjective) of the dead!". "Of the dead" is Gratuitous English.
 * Dream Sequence: He dreams to have fond every variation possible of Horizon's basic pet while Gaea reminds Arthéon that he forgot to ask her for her weekly contribution to the guild and Omega Zell focuses on his training instead of fighting with her. Everyone then actually asks Arthéon (usually the only one intested in the subject) for a background-related story, unites to kill Kary when she shows up, then decide they want to hunt for pets.
 * Coincidental Dodge: Almsot mandatory if Dark Avenger is around.
 * The Fool
 * Idiot Hero
 * No Hero to His Valet: In Season 3, he turns out to be . However, in Season 2, he stated that his father and his grandmother would better have him be in front of the computer than doing anything else when he's at home because it means he's not doing anything foolish (in the real world, at least).
 * Noob: Duh.
 * Raised by Grandparents: He often mentions his grandmother and his dad (who dosen't live with them according to the second book), but never his mother, it's assumed she's missing.
 * Reality Subtext: Frédéric Zonafelli is one of the actors that doesn't play MMORPG and hence is frenquently genuinely ignorant of all the terms and facts he asks about.
 * Smart Ball: He gets it on two noticeable occasions. In Season 1, when Arthéon and Omega Zell have to explain him how the Galamadriabuyak tower works, he asks why it has ten floors when nine should be enough for it to fill its role of unlocking 10 new levels per floor if 100 is the maximum and players who have never entered it are stuck at level 10. In Season 3, in retaliation to Omega Zell's insults, he theatens to . The second one alone can give the impression that Dark Avenger actually figured him out quite well.
 * Stupid Good: Offers players from other factions to join the guild and tried to adopt an enemy monster as a pet at least once.
 * Super-Powered Alter Ego: The avatar being taken over by his younger brother, who's much better at the game than him, tends to play out like that trope.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: His grandma's pudding. It often works as a Delicious Distraction.
 * White Mage: Literal with his first outfit.
 * With Friends Like These...: He considers all his guildmates to be his friends. While it may be understandable for Arthéon, Omega Zell frequently insults him and Gaea isn't that nice to him either.

Couette
"Class : Elementalist (affliated to water)

Guild position : Second healer

Real life name : Angélique Fleur"

"Played by : Manon Morand"

A teenage beauty queen who pretty much fufills Omega Zell's idea of female video game players. The second n00b of the guild while not having it as bad as Sparadrap, her main flaw is a mild case of Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny that accompanies her frequent girl talk. Combat wise, she's much better at aiming than Sparadrap, but also shows up much less often than him.


 * Distaff Counterpart: It's hard not to think of her as one for Sparadrap between her role in the guild and the personality traits she shares with him. The blue outfit she gets in Season 4 makes matters even worse.
 * Girlish Pigtails: "Couette" is the french word for said pigtails. And of course, she wears them.
 * Making a Splash: Her attack spells in the comic.
 * White Mage: Even started out wearing white before moving to blue in Season 4.

Ivy
"Class : Neogician

Guild position : Second nuker"

"Played by : Johanna Fournier"

Sleepyhead by excellence, she frenquently looses track of what happens in the game. Very laid back when awake, she puts both her gunslinger and bomb builder features in good use. She's frequently the one who fills in the rest of the guild on game features and facts that they encounter for the first time, making her the Horizon expert in Arthéon's absence.


 * Bio Augmentation: A perk her class gets from being part of the Empire that possesses the secret of technology. The second book however states it keeps her from using magic (implictly to keep the class from becomming a Game Breaker).
 * The Engineer
 * Informed Attribute: Happened twice. Upon her introduction, Arthéon mentionned she didn't show up much. However, aside from the three first episodes of Season 3 during which only book readers would know she's supposed to be part of the guild, she ended being present so often that she functionnally became a full-time member of the guild while Couette and Golgotha remained sixth rangers. In Season 4, Gaea mentions that she's sleeping even more than before because she stopped taking her narcolepsy medication ; she's not seen falling asleep much more on screen, but it happenning off screen is supposed to be the reason the guild breakes its record of failed quests.
 * Gadgeteer Genius
 * The Gunslinger
 * Sleepyhead: Season 4 reveals that she actually has narcolepsy.
 * Super Speed

Master Zen
"Class : Mage

Guild position : Former nuker / Guild Master

Real life name: Robert Dumoulin"

Grobin des Bois
"Class : Archer"

"Played by : Marcus"

The character created by a video game tester trying out Horizon 2.0, that Arthéon accepts into the guild due to the lack of new Empire players at the time.

 * As Himself: This guy is an actual video game tester on "Nolife", the French channel that airs "Noob" episodes.
 * We Hardly Knew Ye

"Class :"

First meant to do the game solo all over again, but ended up having to join the Noob guild when faced with the lack of low level Empire players that made forming a temporary party impossible when it was needed. Has left by the time Season 4 starts, presumably because the guild's help was no longer needed.



Fantöm
"Class : Twilight Warrior

Guild position : Tank / Ace

Real life name : Max Middle"

"Played by: Fabien Fournier"

Top player of Horizon and Ace of Justice guild, notably famous for beating the top boss Horizon 1.0 by himself. Admired by many players including Omega Zell, who becomes completly startled when he's around. While perfectly capable of being a One-Man Army, he frequently does dungeons and quests with three other players of his guild.


 * The Ace
 * Mistaken for Gay: He crossed the line between being the love interest in Gaea's personnal "Omega Zell is gay" scenario and that trope when.
 * Ultimate Gamer 386: With a few twists due to the fact that he's meant to last longer than a single episode.
 * Verbal Tic: "I see". That tic poped up when Sparadrap wanted to impersonate him and a piece of paper with these words written on it became part of the mannequin Omega Zell maked to prepare for an interview with him.
 * Wham! Line: In Season 4:

Saphir
"Class: Paladin

Guild position : Preemtive healer / Admissions

Real life name : Penelope"

"Played by : Amandine Train"

In charge of the Justice guild's admissions, she will only let the very best join, going up to bashing anyone who dares to apply without fitting her criteria. She has a general disdain for low-level players and considers Arthéon starting again from level 1 as a cruel punishment. Her helpful side tends to show up only when her teammates are in danger.


 * Barrier Warrior
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Omega Zell once offered to have a fight with her to prove that he was worthy of joining the Justice guild. She shot him with an energy projectile before he could even pull his sword out.
 * The Perfectionist
 * The Smurfette Principle: Even in the six-person configuration of the team shown in Season 4, she's the only female member.

Ystos
"Class: Druid

Guild position : Healer (Classic)

Real life name : Thomas"

"Played by : Matthieu Zecchini"

Team Fantöm's level-headed and stoic healer. Much less snobbish than his guild mates, he has no problem speaking to Arthéon on a casual basis and helps out the Noob guild sevral times.


 * Big Brother Mentor: He's half-way between that role and Sixth Ranger for the Noob guild and an example of mental age counting more than physical age,.
 * Combat Medic
 * Crazy Prepared:
 * Not So Stoic
 * White Mage
 * Work Hard, Play Hard: Sneaking up behind Ivy is the first thing he does after creating his assassin alt. An even better example of that side of him is.

Heimdäl
"Class: Mage

Guild position : Nuker / Guild Master"

"Played by : Benjamin Masnières"

Master of Horizon's top guild and team Fantöm's strategist, who's distinctive sign is a white mask covering his face. If provoked, he will usually be the first of the team to loose his temper, Saphir being the one calms him down just as easily.

 * The Smart Guy

Castörga
Leader of Empire's troops in Season 3 finale and acting as a sixth ranger to team Fantöm in Season 4.

Golgotha
"Class : Warrior

Real life name : Catherine Mourru"

"Played by : Amandine Tagliavini"

A mercenary and Gaea's childhood friend who's mainly interested in the game's killing enemies aspect. Fifth (up to eigth with Ivy, Couette and non-overlapping temporary members) member of the Noob guild at heart, she frequently joins the party for free, sometimes without being asked, to be able to spend time with Gaea and other members to whom she's warmed up.


 * Attack! Attack! Attack!: A rough equivalent of the trope name even happens to be her Catch Phrase.
 * An Axe to Grind
 * Blood Knight: She considers any non-battle quests, or even too short battles to be boring. In Season 3 premiere, she even chooses to wait for an enemy to respawn over collecting the reward for killing it.
 * Leeroy Jenkins
 * Morality Pet: She's Gaea's only actual friend. Since that Gaea is a Dirty Coward, Golgotha is the one that goes Mama Bear when needed.
 * The Nicknamer
 * Psycho for Hire: In theory, at least. She only mentions money during her introduction, on an occasion during which she says she'll join for free if she gets to kill something and when Couette asks her why she doesn't replace Arthéon in Season 3. It comes back on the table in Season 4, when she becomes a the much-needed fourth member of the group.
 * Secret Keeper: She was the only member of the main cast to know about  for quite a while.

Omega Zellette
"Class : Assassin

Real life name : Camille Lavande"

"Played by : Audrey Garotte"

Omega Zell's sister who took over one of his old Cross Playing attempts and seems to get along with Gaea quite well. Has so far only appeared in Season 3's triple length finale and the episode right before it.


 * Continuity Nod: To the fact that Omega Zell had a female avatar lying around.

Amaras
"Class : Twilight Warrior

Guild position : Tank / Guild Master"

"Played by : Mikael Berthet"

Coalition top player, and his faction's best hope of beating Fantöm some day. He inherited the Roxxor guild from his master Spectre, who was number one before Fantöm. Since then, he has annexed most the top guilds of the Coalition and made his party out of the masters of three of them.


 * The Ace: For the Coalition.
 * Always Second Best:
 * The Rival: To Fantöm.

Decklan

 * Combat Medic
 * White Mage

T-man

A Coalition player the Noob guild frequently runs into during the course of the series, alone or as part of random groups of Coalition players. Who beats who tends to depend on plot necessities and the numbers either side has at the time.

 * Recurring Extra

Roxana

Dark Avenger
"Played by : Rodolphe Toucas"

The most feared Player Killer of all Horizon. After getting accidently beaten by Sparadrap or having someone else keep him for doing him any harm sevral times, he has gotten convinvinced that his one-sided Friendly Enemy attitude is part of subtle strategy meant to destabalise his oppenents. As a consequence, he's half-way between fearing Sparadrap and considering him a Worthy Opponent.


 * Royal Rapier
 * Wrong Genre Savvy : He clearly knows of Obfuscating Stupidity and sees Sparadrap's behaviour towards him through that filter, but is just as ignorant of Seemingly-Profound Fool. That makes him get his own role wrong, thinking he's the guy who figured out Sparadrap is more than he seems while he's actually the mistaker side of the Mistaken for Badass trope.

Ash
"Real life name : Definitely not something Chinese"

"Played by : Phanat Pak"

The clearly asian gold famer from whom Level100!Arthéon bought credits before being banned and an old friend of Tenshirock, whose plans he somethimes has trouble understanding. When called a "chinese farmer" (litteral meaning of the French equivalent to "gold farmer"), he takes offense to the "chinese" part, because he isn't actually chinese.


 * Bare-Fisted Monk: With no weapon of his own, it's all he has if he actually needs to to fight.
 * Catch Phrase: "I am not chinese".
 * Dragon with an Agenda: "Closest thing Tenshirock has to a Dragon" would be more appropriate. His customer pool would be dratically reduced if any of Tenshirock's plans ever worked (while, in turn, the banishment of his customers by Game Masters serve Tenshirock's cause) and the fact that they're old friends seems to be the only reason they don't get in each other's way.
 * Real Money Trade

"Class :

"Played by :"

His part in Season 3's Wham! Episode events permitted him to be guaranteed that the Coalition would never bother his guild, permitting him to fully focus on his main objective :.


 * Caught on Tape: Gloating about his part in the Wham Episode events in front of Gaea isn't a good idea.

A young woman who considers her Guild Master to be a genius. .



Elyx
"Class : Druid

Guild position : Healer"

"Played by : Alexia Sireuille"

.


 * Only Sane Man: Backstory set aside, she seems to be the best adjusted member of the group.

Valentin
"Class : Warrior"

"Played by : Nicolas Curty"

A Casanova Wannabe and  who took a certain interest in Ivy. Has so far only appeared during the guild's introduction and in the third book.


 * Be Careful What You Say: Trying to pick up the series Gadgeteer Genius by telling her she must be a bomb in real life : Bad idea.
 * Casanova Wannabe: He goes up to asking Ivy if she has a webcam despite the fact that she's clearly not interested.

Spectre
"Class : Necromancer of the Eternal"

"Played by : Patrice Blanc"

Amaras's master who got in the mood to start playing again with the Order's introduction. Is currently letting his former student and Fantöm prepare for a battle during which he expects to fight and beat them both at the same time to show the world that he's still the best Horizon player.


 * Bald of Awesome
 * Enemy Mine :.

Kary
"Class : Druid"

"Played by : Laura Fondacci"

Arthéon's girlfriend in Season 4. Little is known of her aside from the fact that she shares his interest in the game's background and his dream to discover a unique object. Sparadrap hates her for keeping Arthéon away from the guild.


 * Love Across Battlelines: With Arthéon, of course.
 * Satellite Character: The interests she seem to share with Arthéon are the only things keeping her from being a Shallow Love Interest.

Judge Dead
"Real life name : Théodore"

The Game Master who banned Arthéon's level 100 character and shows up whenever a Game Master request is made. Strictly by the book, he enjoys banning avatars that break the rules.


 * Black Cloak: The Grim Reaper style.
 * By-The-Book Cop: His judgement of player's actions is based on a simple dichotomy : whether they respect the game chart or not. It leads to hilarious situations such as letting Golgotha insult Master Zen because the name she calls him isn't a chart-recognized insult.

Tenshirock
"Played by : Pierre-André Grasseler"

A hacker who wants to get people to stop playing MMORPG and go back to real life via multiple forms of in-game reality warping, but none of his plans have worked so far. The fact that Gaea would do anything for credits, the fact that Sparadrap gave him the idea for one of his plans and his frequent urge to punish Omega Zell for playing too long make him almost Friendly Enemies with the Noob guild. He's also an old friend of Ash's.


 * Awesome Anachronistic Apparel
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Cool Shades / Sinister Shades
 * Cool Sword
 * The Cracker
 * Speak of the Devil / Call on Me: In Season 2, Ash could have him show up by calling his name three times. Gaea is hinted to have had that possibility also, but it has never been shown to actually work since he was hiding nearby the only time she's seen trying it.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist

Charles-Antoine Donteuil
"Played by : Fabien Pérès"

Horizon's creator who's appeared a couple of times via an avatar not belonging to any faction.


 * Corrupt Corporate Executive: A downplayed version, given that he's hinted to have  just to make Horizon sell better. Even subverted when it comes to covering up his part in it, as Judge Dead is the one to make the harsh decision of.
 * Minor Major Character: The whole whole story is possible because of him. However, he only gets a couple of short (but important) scenes.

RECURRING NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS
Note : This is still a page about the series. Book-only NPCs and those whose role in the story can not be known by people only watching the series have no reason to be mentionned here.

Ardacos
"Played by : Stéphane Beretti"

The guy who runs the shop, the tarvern, the trainning grounds and basically any business one can expect to find in a MMORPG.


 * Man in a Kilt: His training ground incarnations.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: The only difference with most characters who fall into that trope is that he has all the jobs at the same time rather than quitting one to take the other.
 * You All Look Familiar: He's a handwaved version of that trope.

Bartémulius and Nostariat
"Played by : Philippe Cardona (Batémulius) and Florence Torta (Nostariat)"

A pair of arrogant alchemists that frequently need ingredients for whatever they're preparing to be found for them or protection from some kind of danger.

The Phoenix of fire who is looking for  and the Quest Giver that the Noob guild helps out during the first part of Season 4.

Tabris
A technology-created experiment who escaped Centralis during the energy strain caused by the Empire-Coalition war of Season 3 finale. He now seems to be pursuing an obscure plan, that is known to involve killing off a quite powerful NPC and.
