Beyond Avalon' has this gritty, almost mythic vibe to its cast—like they crawled out of an old Celtic legend but got dragged into a cyberpunk world. The protagonist, Gareth, is a knight who’s way past his prime, haunted by some war he won’t talk about. Then there’s Morgana, not your typical sorceress; she’s all sharp edges and sarcasm, running a black-market magic shop in the slums. The dynamic between them feels like a twisted buddy cop duo, except with more swordfights and cryptic prophecies.
Rounding out the core group is Lancelot, who’s… complicated. He’s Gareth’s former rival, now a cyborg with a grudge and a penchant for dramatic entrances. The way the story plays with Arthurian tropes but flips them on their head is what hooked me—like, what if Excalibur was a glitching AI? Also, minor spoiler: there’s a kid named Wren who shows up later, and their arc wrecked me emotionally. The characters aren’t just roles; they’ve got layers of trauma and dark humor that make the whole thing feel raw.
