- Edwin Ashveil — seer / tactical analyst. Her prophecy: if this exact 5-person team wins, a sealed calamity awakens (or Landen becomes a tyrant through victory). She subtly sabotages the team out of love for it. [Planned] beat: she kills Landen right before a tower defense — the team wins on creep count anyway; then a portal opens and the mask man's men come for Landen. Paradox reveal (planned): her visions show one possible future, not inevitability — her sabotage may cause the catastrophe.
- Iria Fenlow — a rival school's "scholarship"; elemental striker (wind/lightning); secretly paid to make her team fail so her indebted family is saved and her sick sibling gets a rare elixir.
- The "curse" storyline [Planned/draft]: the Girl Conflict doc outlines a planned arc where Landen's girl-revulsion curse draws five pursuers — Lysera Vale (the confident challenger), Mirelle Ashen (the strategic observer; figures the curse out first), Kaelith Rune (the chaotic experimenter), Liora Fenwick (the gentle strategist — note: published Liora is only the nursing-track seatmate; this is a planned variant), Nyx Calder (the playful saboteur). Explicitly narrative planning, not canon.
- Mikael Runesh — name-bank entry: rich noble pursuing Ember, "leader of the Ember Rejects." Almost certainly the draft name for published Micah Rush — follow published.
- The mask man — invasion antagonist; Maledic joins him. [Planned]
- Melinda StarFrost — tournament host and Landen's obsession. [Notes]: when Landen asks the System's name, it answers "Melinda StarFrost" — a girl who died young; he plans to summon her into a beautiful, intact, soulless body. Status unclear / planned.
- Joren Hale — male name bank: "Landen's teammate: Fighter." Not in published chapters; possibly a renamed Jareth or a planned teammate — flagged.
- Kaelen "Kael" Vance — student registered in Landen's System [[ Heroes ]] tab; distinct from instructor Kael Halvek. [Planned]
