Zen is the youngest son in his family, and lived with his mother, father and older brother. His family is described as being quite conservative; his parents being teachers and his older brother working as a lawyer. During his younger years, he was harassed by strangers as they followed him to touch him or take pictures of him.

He would often be treated poorly by his parents, specifically his mother, who questioned who he got his looks from and frequently called him ugly, causing a rift to form between the two. Zen would often confide in his older brother, who would explain that his mother was only saying those things to 'protect him' from being used by others due to his handsome appearance. She also wanted him to think that he wasn't handsome, she feared he would follow the steps of her nephew and other handsome men in becoming unscrupulous and damaging the family name.

As he entered middle school, Zen gained a boost in confidence due to his looks, and he began finding his passion for acting and music, to which his mother strongly disagreed with, believing that he should become a doctor or lawyer like his brother.

During these years, he found out that his older brother had started siding with their mother for him to drop his silly hobby and diligently study to become successful like him. Due to this, Zen dropped out of school and ran away from home, renting an apartment, barely surviving with the rent while working small jobs here and there. He also admitted that he even did 'bad things' to survive, including threatening people for money.

After finishing work, he meets Rika, who has a bouquet of roses, and she praises him for his talents and states she's been watching him ever since his first musical appearance. Rika then persuades him to meet V and to get a photograph together, as well as telling him she knows someone who can help him become successful. He meets Jumin Han and instantly dislikes him, denying his offers due to personal reasons. Later, Zen eventually joins the RFA.

Zen is also known to heal himself incredibly fast, many doctors would give him a date of when he'd be fully healed but he'd heal in less than a few days. He is super allergic to cats.

RFA, short for Rika's Fundraising Association, is an organization started by Rika to raise money by fundraising through the hosting of parties, and the main basis of Mystic Messenger. After Rika's death, the remaining members attempt to keep the parties going but without any success.

Yoosung Kim is a sophomore college student who plays a game called LOLOL and invests too much time into it. Because of that, he does not spend as much time studying for college and neglects his studies. Yoosung is also the cousin of Rika and cannot fully bring himself to believe that she is not alive anymore.

Zen and Yoosung share a close bond akin to seeing each other as siblings with Zen acting as an older brother as he often offers Yoosung life advice; Zen also takes part in teasing Yoosung, though not to the same extent as Seven, and tries to help the younger man in battling his gaming addiction and to start focusing on his studies, warning him that he'll never get a girlfriend at this rate if he doesn't change his lifestyle and start working out and eating healthier. However, Yoosung admits to being jealous of Zen's good looks, being annoyed whenever Zen begins to indulge in narcissism in the chat and rarely taking an interest in Zen's selfies or to compliment him.

Zen greatly cares for Yoosung and worries about his antipathy towards school, and tries to help Yoosung whenever he can; during the game, particularly during V and 707's routes, Yoosung visits Zen for comfort and stays with him to cope with the tension in the RFA, the two hoping to keep each other safe during tumultuous times with Zen taking on the role of mother hen while looking after Yoosung; despite Yoosung feeling annoyed by how overprotective Zen is, he does recognise he has good intentions and is nevertheless grateful for Zen's help. Zen was the only one to attend Yoosung's graduation alongside V and Jumin.

707 (Real name Saeyoung Choi, Baptismal name Luciel Choi) often referred as Seven, is one of the Deep Story characters available in Mystic Messenger. He is a hacker who can quickly find information on anything he can get his hands on. For the most part, Seven displays a happy-go-lucky, outgoing, and very bizarre personality. He frequently plays pranks on Yoosung via chat room, makes fun of the other members (and himself), and, in response to just about anything, will respond with a series of "lol"s. He's essentially your typical jokester who loves cars (he owns multiple) and holds a passion for hacking. Zen and 707 are friends. Zen often encourages 707 to eat proper meals for his health, rather than his regular diet of junk food. Zen describes him as a crazy boy who has exceptional talent in hacking, but he doesn't understand why 707 adores cats so much. Zen knows that 707 isn't a bad person

Jahee Kang, Even though Jaehee is a fairly serious and independent business woman, she is very caring. Jaehee has her own sense of humour and knows how to have a good chuckle at herself and others. That being said, she likes things to be organized and kept in line (One of the reasons she doesn't like taking care of cats; the one hair she misses while cleaning up after them drives her mad). It's very frustrating to her when things do not go according to schedule or if she is saddled with unexpected extra work. But ever the responsible one, she always comes through and deals the best she can despite the challenges her boss and friend Jumin always throws at her both in work and personal life. Jaehee and Zen are close friends, with Jaehee also being a diehard fan of Zen, often complimenting him on his looks and fangirling over the selfies he frequently sends into the chats. Jaehee's professionalism only cracks when around Zen and she is extremely protective over Zen and his career,

Jumin Han is the son of a wealthy family and the heir of the C&R International company. He is always on business trips and usually talks about work or mature topics, which is why he doesn't know about youth slang or commoner food. He does, however, sometimes speak eccentrically. Jumin loves to talk about his cat, Elizabeth 3rd, and how beautiful she is and is very much a doting parent. However, because of past experiences, Jumin is emotionally closed off and is distrustful of women, having witnessed his father fall victim to many gold-diggers who never loved his father, only his money. Jumin and Zen share a somewhat strange friendship; the two can never get along and are always bickering, though it is more on Zen's side as he dislikes Jumin simply for his upbringing and because Jumin reminds Zen of his brother, with whom he has a bad relationship with after his brother began to verbally abuse Zen. Jumin teases Zen with photos of Elizabeth, aware of how Zen suffers from a severe cat allergy.

V is a person who often works with Seven together and keeps things as a secret to the RFA members. He is also childhood friends with Jumin, as Jumin has talked about both of them having used to go to the same church and V talking about their schooling times together. He is the current head of the RFA, however is often offline because of his trips as a photographer and his blindness. He was the fiancé of Rika, and fell into a state of depression after her death, but did not show it.

Saeran, also known as Unknown in the RFA group chat, is seen as a threat by the RFA, whose identity is a mystery, due to his attempts in hacking and stalking the organization. Despite this, he sees himself as angel that will lead the RFA and the player to salvation in Mint Eye and if he can't take them willingly we'll attempt to achieve this through kidnapping and other unorthodox methods.

Saeran's biggest ambition is his revenge towards 707 for leaving him. In their youth, both sworn to be always together and amidst their precarious childhood they saw each other as their most precious companion. Thus 707's sudden absence brought unbearable pain and grief to Saeran, which turned into intense anger and hatred when the Savior (Rika) and Mint Eye manipulated him into believing he was intentionally abandoned.

He also considers V a traitor not only because of his past relationship with Rika but also because he blames him for taking away his brother, and refers to both V and his brother as 'traitors, 'liars', and 'hypocrites'.

As such, Saeran is willing to do everything he can in order to inflict as much pain and damage as he can onto 707 for revenge, even going so far as to hurt the MC and even killing her (see Yoosung's Bad Relationship Ending 2) or torturing her (Seven's Bad Ending 1) to make his brother suffer. Admittedly, this is a last resort for him as he would much rather recruit the MC into Mint Eye "peacefully".

Saeran's devotion to Mint Eye makes him one of its most faithful followers to the point he even has its symbol tattooed upon his upper right arm to show his devotion. It is likely he got this tattoo recently when the Deep and Casual story mode unfolds as it's not seen in Another Story which takes place one year earlier. During Zen's route, he will meet Saeran and automatically despise him because he saw Unknown (Saeran) in his psychic dream as the person who will harm the MC eventually. So when they officially met, he told Unknown to let go of MC. However, within the other routes, Zen will be disturbed and cautious of the mysterious hacker, not knowing who the person is.
