Premise
The Arcadium was once a thriving local hangout spot where both casuals and hardcores alike could spend some time with their friends and family. The arcade used to be vibrant, colorful and upbeat with a fun atmosphere, and was an especially popular place to swing by after school hours... but that was almost a decade ago. Since then, the arcade‘s popularity has dwindled for some mysterious reason, its facilities have become run-down, and has faded from the public eye, becoming more underground and a sort of treasure or staple of the past, People no longer wanted to work there for the enjoyable atmosphere, only choosing to get a job for the extra cash.

Lucas Ngo was only six when The Arcadium essentially ‘went out of business’. Having so many fond and remarkable memories spending time at the arcade in his childhood, and devastated at its current state, he decides to uncover the mystery on why its popularity drastically went down in the first place. On his first visit in almost ten years, he surprisingly encounters two regulars who still visit the arcade often and three (and only) staff members, as well as The Arcadium’s founder, Mr. Renton. Lucas soon befriends the two regulars and staff members.

Cyber Guard

 * Zachary ‘Zach’ Ngo (voiced by Antony Del Rio) - a hardworking but socially awkward 15-year-old who takes on a lot of extracurricular activities and hobbies, but still has yet to find his calling in life. He used to visit the Arcadium requently with his family in his childhood, and becomes devastated due to it going rundown, determined to restore it back to its former glory. In Vortex, Zach is the (slightly reluctant) leader of Team Cyber. His weapon is a giant sword and his aura color is blue. Over the course of the series, Zach begins to become more headstrong and confident in himself, in part due to the help of the rest of the group.
 * Dennis Gilbert (voiced by Matthew Mercer) - the 16-year-old former ‘bully’ of Farlane High School. He used to pick at and make fun of people due to being the captain of the soccer team, even though it isn’t really a powerful position in reality, but he mostly bullies people due to internal problems. He eventually overcame them and is now trying (and so far failing) to make a better reputation for himself and be nicer, but he can still be a hothead at times. Dennis is a hardcore gamer, his regular arcade being the Arcadium due to being kicked out of all the other thriving local arcades. In Vortex, his weapon is a laser gun and his aura color is red.
 * Charlotte ‘Charlie‘ O’Neil (voiced by Karen Fukuhara) - the 14-year-old resident ‘wild child’ of the group. She’s strong-willed, tomboyish and energetic. She doesn’t really have a big interest in gaming and visits the Arcadium regularly because she thinks its cool. She longs for adventures and hates staying in one place for more than an hour, only wanting to be cooped up in the Arcadium because she thinks the arcade is an adventure of its own. Lani is inclined towards art, painting and things that involve creativity in general, and while she doesn’t have stellar grades, her passion makes up for it. In Vortex, her weapon is a war hammer and her aura color is orange.
 * Eun-ah Ha (voiced by Catherine Taber) - a 15-year-old gymnast who’s quite passionate about the sport. She‘s logical and booksmart, but tends to be a shrinking violet and a bit of a control freak who panics easily, due to not really knowing how to fully control her emotions or express herself. Eun-ah works at the Arcadium and is used as a doormat, taking the jobs that no one wants to take because she thinks she isn‘t competent enough. In Vortex, she‘s Team Cyber’s strategist and has an easier time thinking clearly. Her weapon is a whip and her aura color is purple.
 * Felice ‘Felix’ Aiello (voiced by Alex Walsh) - the 14-year-old grandson of Mr. Renton, who he is extremely close to and lives with after his parents passed away. He’s a generally reliable and friendly guy, always available to lend a helping hand, though he can be clingy, emotional and overbearing at times. Being a big foodie, Felix runs the Arcadium’s diner and is more than willing to work part-time there even though almost no one comes to the arcade for the food. He is also best friends with Dennis. In Vortex, his weapon is a crossbow and his aura color is yellow.
 * Stella Espinoza (voiced by Olivia Holt) - a 16-year-old Arcadium employee who runs the main counter, and the go-to-girl for assistance with all the arcade and console games. She may seem intimidating at first glance because of her confident and tough-girl nature, but once you get to know her, she’s a sweet and kind individual, working at the Arcadium (and many of her other part-time jobs) to support her family. She is also usually the peacemaker of the group. In Vortex, she’s the techie of the group due to being naturally skilled with inventing and repairing things. Her weapon is a staff and her aura color is green.

Allies

 * Dallas Renton (voiced by TBA) - the founder of the Arcadium.

Past Cyber Guard

 * Elijah Ngo (voiced by TBA) - Zach’s father. He died along with the rest of the Cyber Guard in an accident, the Ngo family not being told the real reason for his death and blaming it on an accident at work. He used to be very close with Zach and was the one who introduced him to the Arcadium in the first place.
 * Samantha ‘Sam’ Gilbert (voiced by TBA) - Dennis’ mother and the leader of the past Cyber Guard who stepped down from her position back when the team was still active due to being diagnosed with a terminal illness. She died along with the rest of the past Cyber Guard while Seth was still checked into the hospital in the real world, so the Gilbert family assumed she passed away when she hadn’t returned, having not been told the real reason for her death due to past grudges within the team. Her death is the main reason Dennis acts the way he does.
 * Melanie and Eric O’Neil (voiced by TBA and TBA) - Charlie’s parents, Charlie herself gaining her energetic and adventurous attitude due to always traveling with them. They died along with the rest of the past Cyber Guard, the real reason for their death being covered up by an accident in another country while they were traveling. The O’Neil children still live together in their old trailer with the oldest child to support them because of this.
 * Yong-jin Ha (voiced by TBA) - Eun-ah’s father. He died along with the rest of the past Cyber Guard when Eun-ah was still young, so she never really knew him, although she wants to. Eun-ah’s mother still mourns over him and refuses to tell her how he died, the two not really having a good relationship due to this.
 * Francesca and Robert Aiello (voiced by TBA and TBA) - Felix’s parents. They died along with the rest of the past Cyber Guard, and although Felix’s grandfather knew the cause of their deaths, he never told him the real reason and blamed it on a car accident.


 * Ines Espinoza (voiced by TBA) - Stella’s mother. Her family initially thought she got up and left due to family struggles, though it was actually revealed she died with the rest of the past Cyber Guard. Her death was one of the main reason for the Espinoza family‘s bankruptcy and Stella having to work to help support them, the family never actually being told that Ines was dead due to past grudges within the team.
