A young man just entering the cusps of adulthood with the skin of a typical white American. He possesses black hair and gray eyes. His lively face sometimes lets people underestimate his age. Michael typically wears sports jackets, pants, and running shoes for his daily activities of running and weightlifting. His fit body is hidden by the baggy clothes he always puts on. He has a faint scar on his right temple.

Michael is a naturally optimistic and cheerful person. He's always looking for the positives in life and he dislikes negativity. His sunny disposition can sometimes be a revitalizing medicine for those who are down, or it can be annoying for the who dislike that kind of enthusiasm. No matter the problem, he'll never let anything get him down for long. Michael can be a naive person with where he places his trust, though he's not a complete fool. No matter how evil the person though, he will always look for the good in them. That unrelenting belief is an acknowledged danger, but he doesn't care anyways.

Michael is also what you can call an exercise nut. He loves any activity that gets the body moving, like running, soccer, basketball, etc. If he's feeling really good on a day, he'll try to drag any friends into his activity as well with the excuse that it's good for them. His bold and loud nature matched with his likes can make him an overbearing person to more introverted people.

Michael had a normal family and lived in a relatively urban area in Florida. His parents were both gentle, kind, and most of all quiet people. Nobody knows where Michael got his boundless energy from. He was certainly a minor headache on his parents with all the things he wanted to do. Luckily, they directed him to sports and other activities that used up all that energy so he wouldn't be an energetic menace at home. From a young age, Michael became the extroverted jock that people know him as. Naturally, he wasn't the gifted type of genius with both good grades and an excellent physique so he was forced to study a lot just so his grades wouldn't fall to the wayside.

It was a normal life with a couple of bumps here and there, but it was a nice one. The moment he turned 18, he got a job and moved out of his parent's house. He kept up the jogging, but had to sacrifice other extracurricular activities to earn some money for his college tuition. He was blessed with wonderful parents that paid for his first semester, but it wouldn't feel right relying on them like that, so he bounced.

A nice, small apartment with a cheap rent suited him just fine. Budgeting was always difficult because he wasn't really experienced in this area, but he eventually got the hang of it. On a sunny day, he went on one of his jogs and then the world he always knew shifted into something unrecognizable.

Michael wants to return to his own world, though it's not an extreme priority that he'd forsake his morals for it. If he can return home peacefully, then it'll be fine. If he can't return home without causing problems, then he'll deal with that when he gets there.

In regard to her appearance Ada neither got particularly lucky or unlucky in the genetic lottery. Dark hair, dark eyes, average height, not particularly ugly nor attractive. Physically Ada is average in almost every way.

Ada is the kind of person who really struggles to deal with others and copes by presenting herself as a weirdo with far more energy than she actually has. When she's not being given the attention she so dreads, or is otherwise around people she knows well enough to be comfortable around Ada's personality becomes far more bearable, becoming calmer and more toned down, outside of such circumstances however she can be pretty hard to deal with. It’s worth noting that while her eccentricities can be tiring for others, it is just as, if not more exhausting for her.

Ada also possesses a great deal of curiosity. She enjoys learning new things and views not knowing things as a failure on her part. Unfortunately, Ada’s curiosity is such that it acts to hinder her learning almost as much as it aids it, with Ada often getting sidetracked to study topics related to her focus or stuck trying to understand concepts well beyond her level.

Finally, Ada is the sort to think things through to a fault, going well past the point of anything remotely helpful and instead crippling herself with indecision and doubt over even simple tasks. Even after getting something done, Ada agonises over how she could have done things differently after even the smallest of mistakes or worse still finds ways to turn her successes into failures within her mind.

Ada was a student in her past life, nearing the end of her school years when she died. Her life had been relatively uneventful up until that point. Even with her colourful personality people just learned to filter out her oddities and ignore her, leaving her to a quiet school life with little of interest ever happening. The only real noteworthy aspect of her life was how much she’d struggled with her studies towards the end. She wasn't stupid or anything like that, quite the opposite actually, she was smart and enjoyed learning, but the quirks of her personality made it hard for her to get much done and lead her to dwell on and amplify her failings in her mind, while a lack of any real social bonds had made it difficult for her to vent her dissatisfaction.

Return By Death: The chance to fix one's failings through death.

In her past life the smallest of failings weighed heavily down upon her. Now that she’s in a different world she can mostly set aside the worries of her old life, however, she will quickly realise the differences between earth and the world of Re:Zero and set her sights on using her knowledge from earth to try and improve her current worlds situation. She will as usual set her goals way too high, however, using first world earth as the standard to strive for despite not really having the skills or know-how to come anywhere close to being able to achieve that. The addition of Return by Death will only further complicate things, as even when the conditions for activation making its use unreasonable, the knowledge that she could retry will only cause her to bloat her self-expectations and failings further out of proportion within her mind. Without intervention, she will undoubtedly reach a breaking point.

The other thing Aya would be interested in is the world’s magic, whether it be in the form of mana, spirits, divine protections, witch authorities or whatever else. She isn’t necessarily interested in practising magic, more so in understanding it. Particularly, Aya would be interested in looking into how magic could be used to imitate or substitute some of the technology present on earth.
