Mushoku Tensei features a vast world with an extensive cast of characters. The series is about a jobless and hopeless man, Rudeus Greyrat, who reincarnates into a fantasy world while keeping his memories, being determined to live his new life without any regrets.

Main characters

Rudeus Greyrat[Jp. 1]
Voiced by: Hiro Shimono[1] (audio drama), Tomokazu Sugita[2] (anime, former self), Yumi Uchiyama[2] (anime) (Japanese); Ben Phillips[3] (former self), Madeleine Morris[3] (English)
Before his reincarnation, he was an overweight 34-year-old Japanese NEET who became a recluse following his high school persecution and dropout after being tormented by an upperclassman; although his family, friends and school peers encouraged him to return to school, he refused and pushed them all away. When his parents passed away twenty years later, he refused to attend their funeral, as a result, he was disowned by his siblings and kicked out of the family home, making him homeless; while wandering the streets, he spotted a truck headed towards a group of high school students crossing the street at high speed and ran over to save them; causing the truck to hit and kill him in the process.WN 1.P After his reincarnation, he discards his past identity, and works hard to make his new life as Rudeus Greyrat more meaningful. As such, he adopts a gentleman persona, though his past life's perversion sometimes emerges and scares those around him. Since he retains his intelligence, Rudeus was able to start magic training at age 3, and learn how to cast magic without chanting. Due to this training, he has an abnormally large mana capacity. Because his then magic teacher, Roxy Migurdia, helped him to overcome his fear of the outside world, he worships her like a god and ties his accomplishments to her.WN 1.10 During his spare time, Rudeus makes figurines to enhance his earth magic, which has become his main offensive magic.

Voiced by: Ai Kakuma[2] (Japanese); Lindsay Seidel[3] (English)
A noble girl and distant relative of Rudeus. She is a tsundere with a short temper but has potential in the Sword-God style.

Lucy Greyrat[Jp. 11]
Rudeus' first child, and Sylphiette's first child and only daughter. At the age of three, she began to receive the same training as Rudy when she was a child, learning magic and swordsmanship.

Lara Greyrat[Jp. 12]
Rudeus' second child, and Roxy's first daughter. The way she grew up with her hair tied behind her back is very similar to her mother, to the extent that even her father once mistook her and hugged her from behind.

Originally, he secretly developed a romantic relationship with Aisha, having fathered their first child in one of the web novel chapters from Redundancy. As a result of controversy from readers as well as a violation of their terms of service caused by this decision, Rifujin na Magonote ultimately decided to remake it in the future, although he kept the relationship between Ars and Aisha the same.[10]
Sieghart Saladin Greyrat[Jp. 14]
Rudeus' fourth child, and Sylphiette's second child and only son. Also known as Sieg. Due to his emerald green hair which is similar to previous antagonist "Laplace", Rudeus and Sylphiette felt anxious about his hair after the birth.

Perugius asked Rudeus to take Sieghart to the Sky Continent to complete a trial that allows Rudeus to dispel his doubts.

Reception

Early response to Rudeus was primarily negative due to his perverted nature to the point the original writer noted that such was the point of his characterization.[25][26] However, his relationship with his mentor and his father Paul were praised for bringing the narrative hidden depths.[27][28] Roxy became a break out character in her own series which was praised by Otaku USA for being accessible but hoped to further develop her in future volumes.[29] Comic Book Resources said that Mushoku Tensei is enjoyable thanks to the large amount of characters.[30] TwinInfinite listed Roxy as one of the best teachers in anime.[31] In a manga review from the early arcs, Akiba Station noted that while Rudeus gets into less fights, he is contrasted by the parallel adventures of Roxy.[32] Roxy' figurine that Rudeus creates in the series was popular enough to get its own replica in real life.[33]
