Oscar Prendergast - A blind man, carrying a demonic flash camera, with a demon guide dog by his side. He has ginger hair and a beard. He has a sleeve tattoo composed of multiple images of blind eyes, vampire teeth, crosses and a weeping sun. The text reads: "Ian and Faye's childhood friend, and the most recent member of the Weeping Suns. Oscar is a skilled hunter, whose keen perception and tracking abilities make up for his lackluster fighting skills. After the Vampires took his eyes, Oscar made a pact with a powerful demon, who offered him a special camera and a companion. He now fights with the aid of his demonic guide dog, and his powerful camera, which blinds the Vampires and allows him to see for a brief second when the flash is triggered."

Faye Walker - A woman wearing a repurposed kimono which she has turned into a crop top, alongside leather shorts, ripped leggings and leather boots. On her waist she is wearing her grandpa's military jacket as a half-skirt, which she has dyed yellow. She wields a staff, with a firework rocket tied to one end and a lighter as a trigger. She also has an old flare gun which she has repurposed to fit firework rockets. She has a pet owl on her shoulder. The text reads: "Ian's short-tempered adopted sister. A sharp shooter, with a knack for crafting. Faye fights alongside her pet owl Jericho, setting the Vampires ablaze with her colourful fireworks and flares. She seeks revenge on the Vampire who took her parents."

Ian Unger - a punk vampire hunter with a cocky attitude, wielding a sword. He is wearing a yellow leather jacket, black leather shorts and boots. The text reads: "The unlikely leader of the group. Ian is often described by his friends as extremely cocky, reckless and immature. He is, however, the only member of the Weeping Suns who has not been struck by personal tragedy, allowing him to keep a clear head in the face of danger. He is a skilled swordsman, who wields a silver blade, passed down through generations of hunters in his family."
