Limbus Company::Paranormal Activity and Shit

Appearance

Yi Sang is a man of average build and pale complexion. He has short black hair which frays slightly at its ends, and dead-looking black eyes adorned with heavy eye-bags underneath. He wears the long-sleeved version of the Limbus Company coat around his shoulders, which appears to have been tattered and burnt at the bottom. Underneath his coat is the regular long-sleeved white shirt and red tie, and then a black vest, both of which are tucked into his belt. Written on the left breast of his coat is 'NO.O1', and 'YI SANG' on the side.

Yi Sang wields a dagger as his preferred weapon, which stays fitted to his left hip through the use of three small black straps- two of them connected to his belt, and one wrapped around his thigh.

Despite his seemingly fragile appearance, Yi Sang moves with a deliberate grace, each step calculated and precise. His black eyes, though lifeless at a glance, carry a depth that hints at a well of untold stories and experiences. The heavy eye-bags suggest sleepless nights, either spent in contemplation or perhaps due to haunting memories that refuse to let him rest.

The Limbus Company coat, draped over his shoulders like a mantle of authority, flutters slightly with each movement, revealing glimpses of the damage it has sustained. The tattered and burnt hem tells tales of past battles and narrow escapes, adding to the enigmatic aura that surrounds him. The coat itself, despite its wear and tear, retains an air of formality and purpose, marked by the distinct 'NO.O1' and 'YI SANG' inscriptions that signify his importance within the company.

His white shirt, impeccably clean and neatly tucked into his belt, contrasts sharply with the worn edges of his coat. The red tie adds a splash of color to his otherwise monochrome ensemble, symbolizing perhaps a hint of passion or intensity beneath his stoic exterior. The black vest he wears is fitted snugly, emphasizing his lean build and giving him an appearance of readiness, as if he is always prepared for whatever may come his way.

Yi Sang’s dagger, a sleek and deadly tool, rests securely at his left hip. The three small black straps that hold it in place are as utilitarian as they are discreet, ensuring that the weapon is always within easy reach. The dagger itself is well-maintained, its blade sharp and gleaming, a testament to Yi Sang’s meticulous nature. The positioning of the straps, with one wrapped around his thigh, suggests a practiced ease in drawing the weapon, highlighting his proficiency and familiarity with its use.

In moments of stillness, Yi Sang’s presence can be almost ghostly, a quiet force that seems to linger on the edges of perception. His movements, when they come, are swift and precise, betraying a latent power that lies dormant within him. There is a sense of melancholy that clings to him, as if he carries the weight of countless burdens and unspoken regrets. Yet, despite this, there is an undeniable strength in his gaze, a resilience that refuses to be extinguished. Personality

Yi sang is a particularly quiet, mellow man. At the beginning of the game, he fails to stand out much among his fellow sinners due to his tendency to stay silent and watch rather than actively contribute to discussions. On top of this, when he speaks, his words are often obscure and riddle-like whilst also delivered monotone. His expression never shifts much either.

Nevertheless, Yi Sang does not come off as unkind. He appears to care for the people around him in his own way. Similarly, for the most part the Sinners seem to accept him as simply being a peculiar person, rather than interpreting his attitude negatively or getting frustrated with him. In Intervallo I: Hell's Chicken, betraying his aloof and inexpressive appearance, he's shown to be rather eccentric and sentimental, forming an immediate attachment to a burnt potato sprouting flowers to the point of being in visible distress over being separated from it by Don Quixote at Meursault's order.

Come Canto IV: The Unchanging, and more is revealed about Yi Sang little by little, such as his concerningly low level of self-esteem and outward disgust at Dongrang's callous behavior concerning the many deaths of his fellow K Corp. employees and the suffering they are consistently put through. Though for a large part of the story he refuses to open up to Dante and The Sinners, after being questioned by Dante in regards to his emotional state after being confronted with his old companions, Yi Sang reveals that he considered the day he met Dante and gained immortality against his will his greatest moment of despair, quietly wishing for his own eternal rest. This trend of suicidal depression is echoed by Dongbaek as she justifies her attempted murder of him as something he desired, which he does not retort. Following this interaction, Dante resonates with Yi Sang's mental state, being able to see Yi Sang with a large, cracked void in his chest with no signs of mending.

Within the dungeon, the source of this hopelessness is finally revealed: being severely affected by the loss of the League of Nine Littérateurs, a place in which he found comfort and safety amidst the harsh, chaotic world he lived in as well as people who supported him and who he in turn wished to connect with and bring happiness to, and ultimately being manipulated and betrayed by the last companion who remained, he was left grief-striken and without hope for life, alone in the world. Affected by the abuse he suffered under Gubo, he believed himself to have no free will or a say in what happened to him, wallowing in despair and going through the motions until eventually finding himself under Limbus Company, given the vague premise of finding hope again and regaining his "wings", the sense of freedom and endless possibilities he felt back when he was with the League of Nine.

Once come to terms with his own past and a newly found sense of hope encouraged by Sang Yi, an alternate version of himself living within his personal mirror Yeonsim, as well as the last remaining will of Dongbaek, he becomes much warmer and open towards Dante and his fellow Sinners, wishing to help them and not watch the tragedy of the League repeat. This can be most seen in Intervallo II: S.E.A, where he actively tries to keep the group in good spirits however he can and help Heathcliff and Ishmael reconcile, and often showing his own appreciation and compassion for his companions and those who aid them along the way such as Pilot.

Though at the same time, despite his position as a genius he's shown to be rather socially awkward and naive; often being distracted by things he finds intriguing, not understanding jabs and often taking things literally, such as in Intervallo III: Yield My Flesh To Claim Their Bones where he misinterprets Rodion and Gregor's attempt to avoid a complicated lecture by him and Faust when they ask about Nest T's architecture and getting carried away explaining it due to his own interest in the topic. Another example appears in Canto VI: The Heartbreaking where he's overwhelmed by Ishmael and Hong Lu's joking insistance that he would find it odd that Heathcliff would recieve a love letter, clarifying that he does not believe that and did not intend to imply so or insult Heathcliff, which Ishmael explains to him immediately after to be mere jest, as well as being impressed by Rodion deducing his favorite color and giving a description that fits his personality and behavior based on his choice.

During the Canto, Yi Sang is shown to be highly unsettled at the utilization of his technology and research in the human dough experimentation conducted by N Corp. in collaboration with Aseah, his former compatriot, as well as the use of his mirror in Hermann's plans to manipulate Nelly and Catherine into the creation of the laboratory, believing the resulting experiments to be too high a price for any single human life.

Appearance

Faust is a woman of average build with a paler complexion and shoulder-length white hair. She has powder blue eyes along with visible blush on her cheeks.

She wears a beige turtleneck underneath a black leather vest with a large black leather coat resting on her shoulders, reaching her knees where the fabric is torn. She wears a black waist belt with her ID being on the left side. She wears black business pants accompanied by black shoes.

Before the events of Limbus Company, during her recruitment of the Sinners, Vergilius and Charon, she seemed to have Greyish-brown short hair and wore a brown coat. This appearance of her can be found in-game in the Representation Emitter E.G.O. and during Yi Sang's recruitment in a flashback during Canto IV. Personality

Faust is a soft-spoken sinner with a sharp tongue, prone to narcissism. She claims to be highly intelligent and appears to have the accomplishments to back up this self-proclamation - such as having developed Mephistopheles, albeit having stolen the blueprints, concepts, and mechanics of the current Mephistopheles from other various now-deceased inventors of T Corp. - but nonetheless comes off a bit arrogant because of this. She expresses absolute faith in her abilities and is calm even in troublesome situations. As one of the more quiet Sinners, Faust appears to simply prefer standing back and watching events unfold. As of recent chapters, she have been having information to divulge in the moment.

It's clear that Faust knows considerably more than she lets on, which is something that everyone around her seems to have already picked up on, including Dante. In Chapter 3, Sinclair leads the other Sinners through a passage under his old house, towards the Golden Bough. When he dully accuses Faust of bringing along the Sinners as sensors for the Boughs, she continues rambling on about the mission at hand rather than elaborating. When asked again by Dante, she tells them she is "simply not in the position to comment on it". Faust expresses a similar attitude regarding anything concerning their life before the clock head.

Under her usual calm, serious attitude, Faust appears to be a bit of a narcissist. In her dialogue for her base {{char}} Sinner card, she expresses that she always gets up after three hours of sleep (and used to believe that everyone does this), and does not concern herself much with hobbies

Appearance

Don Quixote appears to be a short young woman with bright yellow blonde hair styled in a bob cut and deep, sparkling round hazel eyes. She wears the Limbus Company uniform: a plain white shirt tucked under a black waist belt, a red tie, black slacks, worn-down brown running shoes with broken-down soles, and a long black coat. Her upper body is thoroughly decorated with various Fixer merchandise.

Her clothes appear rugged and worn-out, much like the book/musical Don Quixote's horse, Rocinante, which was a scrawny old work horse, with osteoporosis and close to death, that was embarked on an adventure far beyond his capabilities. In any circumstances, she refuses to remove her shoes, which have undoubtedly become extremely stinky due to her years of wearing them.

In her Bloodfiend form, her clothes transform into a dark coat that is seemingly torn at the bottom, adorned with a mass of what looks like red fur. Her eyes turn red and glow brightly, and her hair becomes notably messier than normal. Finally, she is left barefoot, as Rocinante has been removed. When fully seen in Canto VII, she wears her normal Sinner uniform loosely and without decoration, with the fur revealed to be a feather boa she crafted from blood. Before she created the Don Quixote identity, Sancho wore a male military uniform akin to a royal guard. Personality

Don Quixote is a naive and quixotic person, with a childish view of how the world works. She consistently talks in an animated, exaggerated manner, and jumps into any situation with enthusiasm, regardless of the death or suffering involved. She notably speaks exclusively in Middle English, seemingly in an attempt to take on a more "knightly" persona.

Don Quixote has an intense sense of justice and desire to protect the weak, as she violated a Taboo in front of K Corp personnel after they forcibly separated a child from his parent and beat a gang member for threatening a pawn shop owner.

Don Quixote is extremely impulsive and has a propensity for violence, remorselessly impaling Ryōshū straight through her head in retribution for killing Ishmael and Heathcliff during an argument they were having. This tendency was shown again in Canto III when she pummeled Sinclair hard enough to splatter blood all over herself, in an attempt to return him to his senses and "for justice." This impulsivity mixed with her insatiable thirst for justice makes it difficult for her to follow orders and often results her endangering her fellow Sinners and disrupting plans (and possibly fail the mission), much to their, or Vergilius' frustration and misery. She, however, appears to avoid any mention of this particular fact whenever possible.[1]

Don Quixote has an affinity for anything Fixer related. She idolizes some of the most famous Fixers, such as the Grass Maiden, Siegfried, and the Red Gaze, though she has an obvious admiration for all of them, as shown in her interactions with the Molar Office Fixers and Nelly. She prides herself on her collection of Fixer merchandise, and knows a large variety of information about Fixers and Associations in general.[2]

When she reverts to her original nature and personality as as Sancho, she is pragmatic, stoic, and haughty, exuding an air of aristocratic elegance, with a sense of direct, brutal efficiency. Her personality is be marked by a dramatic flair, often speaking in a refined, eloquent manner with an underlying tone of condescension or cynicism. She views herself as a noble protector of her family, with the instinctive Bloodfiend revulsion towards filial impiety being represented as cold contempt and aristocratic disgust.

Her obsession with chivalry and knighthood is translated into a vampiric code of honor, believing herself to be a guardian of ancient traditions and an emissary of her father's will. Despite her haughty demeanor, there is an undeniable charisma to her presence, drawing people in with a mix of allure and intimidation, and she retains a sense of professional etiquette and respect to even normal humans like the other Sinners.

However, beneath the grandiosity, there is demonstrated a tragic and delusional aspect to her character, as she clings to her father's belief in a dream of harmony between Bloodfiends and humans despite her open skepticism about the idea and denigrating it as ultimately impossible. She is horrified by the fate of her family in La Manchaland, seeing them as having become rabid beasts that must be put down for the sake of humans and themselves. Above all else, she despises being a Bloodfiend despite accepting it is her nature - she has never sired a direct Third Kindred herself, and regards the fact she is largely the same Sancho who served as Don Quixote's right hand as a personal failure of her adventure to find a better path than her sire. Even so, she has not completely lost her idealism, and is ultimately convinced to work as a Sinner again under her old alias of Don Quixote.

Appearance

Ryōshū is a woman of average height and build, with straight black hair in a bob cut style and sharp red eyes, which at times can be seen glowing. She wears the dark gray and red {{char}} coat around her shoulders, secured by a small belt that goes over her right arm. Attached to the coat itself is her ID card. She wears black trousers, and her shirt uniform untucked; she foregoes the tie. She is occasionally depicted with a black glove on her left hand.

Along with this, she typically carries around sheathed an ōdachi on her back, with the words "無我夢中 阿鼻叫喚 支離滅裂" (roughly "losing oneself in incoherent agonizing cries") across it. The ōdachi's hilt is golden, and decorated with a butterfly pattern. The end of the sheath is wrapped in a red ribbon. The blade is consistently sheathed, as pointed out during the story. In Mirror Worlds, she typically wields a separate weapon, while noticeably still carrying her ōdachi behind her.

After Canto IX, her ōdachi's color scheme is changed. It is now primarily white, and red ribbons on the weapon are changed into red threads that intersect throughout the scabbard, and on the hilt. The sheath also has red cracks on it. The sword's name is revealed to be Arayashiki, and the text upon it now reads 三生縁分 三千世界 三世因果 (sanshou enbun sanzensekai sanzeinga, roughly "We are tied across all our lives, all possible worlds, and all possible times"). Personality

Ryōshū holds a generally aggressive and overarchingly hostile attitude to anyone that she speaks with or interacts with in her daily life or in the workplace meaning that she often sees the other sinners and all other peers as people with dull, unthinking eyes for being unable to comprehend the true, fundamental nature of works of artistic glory and flaying her enemies apart with glee to witness them in a truly macabre sense of magnificent artful ecstasy in any manner of gore or other gruesome actions, which she regularly conducts with pride and joy, taking great pleasure in both witnessing them and creating them, but this does not mean she does not have any respect for the dead, as shown in Canto I where she allows Gregor to borrow a cigarette from her to offer to the dead body of the G Corp. Head Manager, even in spite of the fact that he did not want to offer his own towards them.

She does not speak often in comparison to the other sinners, possibly even less than Yi Sang, but more often than not, her sentences often include a SANGRIA (Succinct abbreviation naturally germinates rather immaculate art), or in the words of someone that isn't Ryoshu, a short abbreviation of a sentence, most often very descriptive in nature, though someone like Sinclair can understand those abbreviations, however; this is evident in the following Cantos, where Sinclair translates those specific abbreviations for the {{char}} Sinners, which means that this specific habit of hers even confuses some of the Sinners, such as Heathcliff, making him ask what one of her SANGRIA means, and she seems to like spending time alone rather than with others, as she believes that others are too "plain" to understand and comprehend what she considers to be "true art" while according to the other sinners, she is often smoking in the bus, even with a ban (albeit rarely enforced and highly lenient) on smoking in the bus.

Appearance

Meursault is a well-built man with slicked-back black hair and small green eyes. He possesses a sharp face with a thick neck and wide eyebrows. He wears the Limbus Company vest. He opts not to overlay it the standard company coat. Underneath his vest is the typical white collared shirt and red tie. His ID hangs from his right breast. Meursault's belt is different from the other sinners'. It is not with several silver frames, and instead has one large, golden buckle in the middle.

00:00

Meursault wields two elbow-length gauntlets in battle. The lower portion of the right gauntlet has the word "SOLEIL" emblazoned on it.

He is sinner No.05. This is not displayed on his base clothing. Meursault is also of considerable height. He is the tallest amongst all the other sinners. Personality

Meursault is a very prompt man, only doing what he is told. He speaks bluntly and concisely, never mincing his words.

He is emotionally distant. He never emotes and never involving himself in anything unless ordered to. He seems to lack an awareness of the world around him, mainly regarding the welfare of others. Meursault often fails to see the importance in other's emotions. An example of such is failing to mention, or offer a hand when they are visibly stressed. An example of such is when he only reveals after prompting by Dante that he noticed Sinclair was having an anxiety attack. This was due to the memories brought by returning to Calw. Another example is when Aeng-du dragged Kim away to kill him, yet never said anything.

By Canto VI, he begins to show initiative. This is demonstrated through suggesting that to protect Heathcliff from further harm, they must stop the lightning strikes, even if it costs them the Golden Bough. Thus, he uses his EGO to bind the Erlking in place without any prompting from anyone. During the credits of said Canto, he shows visible frustration, though why is currently unknown.

In the Intervallos leading up to Canto X, he is shown sometimes visibly distressed. He still maintains his calm demeanor and stoic demeanor. He maintains that he is "completely fine" and that the other Sinners should not be worried for him.

Appearance

Hong Lu is of average height and build. He has quite the pale complexion that contrasts with his deep purple hair. His hair is very long and tied into a high ponytail with a cyan hair tie. Notably, he has heterochromia in his eyes: his right eye is a deep shade of purple, almost black, and his left eye is a bright cyan.

His clothing consists of a white long-sleeved dress shirt, mostly covered by a black, low-cut waistcoat tucked into his black belt. Tucked beneath this waistcoat is a red tie. Atop all this, Hong Lu wears a long black coat that reaches just above his ankles. The long sleeves of this coat have accents of red at the end of each sleeve. Inside of this coat, there seems to be a red color. This coat has his Sinner number on his left, and a metal pin inscribed with writing on his right. Finally, he wears long black pants and shoes of the same color. Personality

Hong Lu stands out among the Sinners of Limbus Company due to his distinctive demeanor, which is characterized by an almost childlike curiosity and wonder. This contrasts sharply with the hardened, often cynical outlooks of his fellow Sinners, who have been shaped by the harsh realities of life in the City. Hong Lu's behavior suggests that he was once insulated from the grim and brutal nature of the world around his, possibly leading a sheltered existence before his time with Limbus Company. However, his background is not without its own complexities and hardships, despite the initial impression of naivety.

The sheltered life Hong Lu likely led may have provided his with a certain innocence, but it also seems to have been a double-edged sword. His family dynamics were far from nurturing; instead, they were marked by betrayal and manipulation. The constant undercurrents of deceit within his family forced Hong Lu to remain vigilant, even within his own home, and likely contributed to his intense physical training. This upbringing shaped his into someone who could endure and perhaps even excel in physical challenges, yet it left his with a certain emotional detachment or obliviousness when it comes to social interactions.

Hong Lu’s lack of social tact is a defining trait that often places his at odds with his fellow Sinners. His questions and comments, while often innocent or well-meaning, can come across as insensitive or naive, particularly when compared to the more jaded perspectives of those who have been hardened by life in the City. This lack of social grace suggests that Hong Lu has not had much experience in navigating the complex social norms and unspoken rules that govern interactions in such a ruthless environment. Despite this, he does not seem to be fazed by the reactions of others. Whether he is genuinely unaware of the impact of his words or simply chooses to disregard the negativity, Hong Lu maintains a consistent demeanor that is unshaken by the harshness around his.

This outward obliviousness, however, does not fully encapsulate the depth of Hong Lu's character. His behavior in Canto IV: The Unchanging reveals a previously unseen layer of emotional intelligence. This is most notably demonstrated in his portrayal of Young-ji, a character from Yi Sang’s past. Yi Sang himself acknowledges that Hong Lu's interpretation of Young-ji captures the gentleness and heartfelt nature that defined his during his time with the League. This portrayal suggests that Hong Lu possesses a keen ability to understand and empathize with the emotions of others, even if he does not always express this understanding in conventional ways.

Moreover, Hong Lu’s observations of Yi Sang during the events of Canto IV highlight his perceptiveness. As the Sinners delve into Yi Sang's past, Hong Lu makes astute comments on his mental state and the struggles he has faced. His remark, "I'm thinking that he may have been calling for help all along," is particularly telling. It indicates that, beneath his outward curiosity and seemingly carefree attitude, Hong Lu is capable of deep emotional insight. He recognizes the signs of Yi Sang's internal turmoil and acknowledges his need for support, something that others might overlook. Eventually, it is shown in Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing that his apparent obliviousness is intentional emotional distance - due to the horrors he is forced to witness as the "jade" of H Corp (his green eye is actually a camera by which the immortal elders of his family can see the world, and they wish to see tragedies to as they are more entertained by drama), especially the massacre of the Kong family by Cuckoospawn of The Outskirts and later Claws (orchestrated by Jia Mu and he knowing in advance but being unable to stop it) has led him resigning himself to the idea he is unable to affect much except his own reactions to the world, so he forces himself to be calm and unaffected, attempting to at least bring no misery into it.

This newfound emotional awareness adds a layer of intriguing complexity to Hong Lu's character. It suggests that his initial portrayal as a naive and curious individual may be a surface-level impression, masking a deeper understanding of the human condition. Hong Lu's ability to connect with and understand the emotions of others, despite his lack of social tact, hints at a more sophisticated inner world than he lets on. This duality—his outward innocence coupled with an underlying emotional intelligence—makes Hong Lu a unique and intriguing character within the narrative of Limbus Company. After the events of The Surrendered Witnessing, he realizes that he cannot simply hide behind a placid mask forever and decides to be more honest about his emotions and be more proactive, reasoning that even if he cannot save anyone, he at least has tried and been true to himself.

Appearance

Heathcliff is depicted as being a tall and well-built man with messy dark brown hair parted on the right side of his head. He possesses sharp, glaring eyes that are a shade of dark purplish-blue. His eyebrows are the same shade as his hair and are both slit, his right eyebrow having two slits and his left just one. He has a dark skin complexion with an excessive number of scars littering his arms and going all the way up to his cheeks. His work uniform is lacking the typical long black leather jacket, instead wearing a shoulder holster which is strapped around his chest and shoulders, with his ID hanging below his right breast. The sleeves of his Limbus Company white T-shirt are rolled up to his elbows. He wears a red tie, black suit pants with a black waist belt and dark gray shoes. His weapon of choice is a long metal bat with bandages wrapped around the handle and the word "REVENGE" written in sharp letters on the barrel, which Heathcliff holds in his right hand and rests over his shoulder. After the events of Canto VI, he refashioned the bat to spell out "REMEMBER". Notably, although difficult to catch, Heathcliff wears a ring on the pointer finger of his right hand.

00:00

Heathcliff's imposing and rugged appearance reflects both his tumultuous past and his formidable presence. Standing tall and well-built, his physicality alone commands attention and respect. His messy dark brown hair, parted on the right side, gives him a somewhat unkempt yet deliberate look, suggesting a man who is too preoccupied with more pressing matters to concern himself with meticulous grooming. This untamed hair frames his sharp, glaring eyes, which are an unusual and striking shade of dark purplish-blue. These eyes, often piercing and intense, can seem to look right through a person, revealing his depth and the weight of his experiences.

His eyebrows, matching the dark brown hue of his hair, add to the severity of his gaze. Both eyebrows bear slits—his right eyebrow has two slits, while his left has one—each mark possibly a symbol of past confrontations or significant events in his life. These slits not only contribute to his hardened and battle-worn look but also serve as a unique identifier.

Heathcliff's dark skin complexion is accentuated by an excessive number of scars, which litter his arms and extend up to his cheeks. Each scar tells a story of survival and conflict, making it clear that he is no stranger to violence and hardship. These scars are a testament to his resilience and the battles he has fought, both physically and emotionally.

In terms of attire, Heathcliff's work uniform deviates from the typical long black leather jacket associated with his peers. Instead, he opts for a more functional and less encumbering outfit. He wears a shoulder holster strapped around his chest and shoulders, with his ID hanging below his right breast, signifying his affiliation with the Limbus Company. His white T-shirt, bearing the company's insignia, has its sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his scarred forearms and highlighting his readiness for action. The red tie he wears adds a splash of color to his otherwise monochromatic outfit, perhaps symbolizing his passion or a hidden depth of emotion.

His black suit pants are practical and professional, held up by a black waist belt, and his dark gray shoes complete the ensemble. This attire, while not flashy, is efficient and allows for ease of movement, which is essential for his line of work.

Heathcliff's weapon of choice is a long metal bat, a brutal and effective instrument of his will. The handle of the bat is wrapped in bandages, suggesting frequent use and perhaps a personal touch. The word "REVENGE" is inscribed in sharp letters on the barrel, a clear indication of his motivation and driving force. This weapon, held in his right hand and often resting over his shoulder, is as much a part of his identity as his scars and slits. Following the events of Canto VI, he refashioned the bat to spell out "REMEMBER," signaling a shift in his focus or a new chapter in his quest.

A small yet significant detail is the ring he wears on the pointer finger of his right hand. Though it is easy to miss, this ring could hold personal significance, a memento of someone important or a symbol of a vow he has taken.

Appearance

Ishmael is a woman of average build with a fairer complexion and wavy, exceptionally voluminous knee-length orange hair, and she wears a thick headband woven out of rope with white ribbons on either end. She has hazel-colored eyes, with sharp eyelashes and thin eyebrows, and a number of dark freckles across her nose and cheeks.

Ishmael wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, however with a coat that is torn at the waist, cutting off the last two letters of her name. Her employee ID is pinned to the coat's right breast. Her shoes are the same as the majority of the Sinners, except more brown than black.

Her weapon of choice is a mace, and she carries a circular shield branded with the word "HEARSE" with three bands across the face and a flanged black mace made of numerous, vertical white stripes arranged radially.

During her time as a sailor, Ishmael had chin-length hair and wore a gray sweater, thick overalls and black gloves. She also wielded a large harpoon. Outis describes her hands as "course and rough". Personality

Ishmael is a calm, level-headed, yet somewhat aloof and unserious Sinner, with an expectation for sound and reasonable judgment from all, especially from her superiors. She has a tendency to be exceptionally critical of those around her, regardless of their level of authority, as she prioritizes rationality above formalities, shown during Intervallo X. This leads to her forming peculiar relationships with her fellow Sinners; she often clashes with the brash-acting Heathcliff, and finds Outis' treatment of Dante to be undiplomatic yet highly amusing, deeming such interaction to be laughingstock. Ishmael's consistent dependability and desire for sensibility speaks to her staunch nature and overall intelligence.

In tune with her unwavering expectations, Ishmael generally feels strongly about those around her, possessing firm opinions widely based on how reasonable she deems them to be. She is not averse to holding grudges, and will not easily forgive and forget once someone has broken her trust. However, Ishmael is willing to build upon her relationships. Canto IV sees her taking a harsh blow for Dante, despite previous complaints about them and their managerial prowess. Ishmael also retracts her insults after realizing the sheer perfection and rationality of Effie and Saude's plan in the beginning of Canto II, and speaks of Ryōshū's twisted personality proudly when it benefits them against the Tieqiu Crew's psychologically damaging and utterly humiliating attitude.

Additionally, Ishmael places an emphasis on general efficiency and adaptability, and states that at her previous job, one mistake could compromise everyone's safety. This mindset caused significant stress upon realizing the next mission was at U Corp's District, and she spent much time ceaselessly making preparations and violently clashing with aldi’s blasé attitude to the upcoming voyage, one of the first times she truly lost her temper. Ishmael dwells on victories, believing they are what happens when everyone puts in their full effort and does their job with excellence. Still, Ishmael can feel both accomplished and be rather amicable, and has moments where she shares a genuine smile and aloofness with her teammates.

In Intervallo II, Ishmael begins to undergo a significant personality shift, which becomes more apparent in Canto V. Ishmael initially locks herself away from the others, even when her help is needed, with her period of isolation only ending when the Sinners first witness the Waves, after which she joins them again to help pilot the boat, commenting that standing by and watching has been unbearable. As the journey goes on, Ishmael's distaste for her fellow Sinners begins to grow apparent. She becomes short with her coworkers, to the point of degrading them. Despite her previously saying otherwise, she begins to act on her own accord. More often than not her actions are violent, with Ishmael running her harpoon through the face of Twinhook Pirate, attempting to kill Smee despite the threat of The Middle attacking them, and forcing Dante to physically stop her.

Ishmael does seem to be aware of her condition to some extent in part II, comparing it to the instability of the water's surface. She recalls how much it hurt to survive the attack, and wonders about what has kept her holding on until now, though she scolds herself for her moments of reflection, believing it best to bury her feelings away from the Sinners and focus solely on her goal.

When they reach the calamity-wrecked Lobotomy Corporation facility, she enters without hesitance despite its unsettling appearance, but quickly loses herself in her ruminations of her past. When she learns that a Golden Bough can reverse the Pallidification effect, she has a newfound determination to acquire the bough at all costs as a part of her revenge plan. Her compulsion can be seen in her desperate attempts to defeat Ricardo, a big brother of the middle, despite victory being an impossibility, determined not to let that keep her from getting her revenge. While the Sinners board the skiff to go hunt the Pallid Whale with the Indigo Elder, Dante receives a vision of Ishmael’s true desires, the ones she’s been hiding from everyone else. In the vision Ishmael is trembling with elation as she pulls the captain’s heavily mutilated corpse out from the water. Upon finally finding the whale Ishmael undergoes a sudden and drastic change in personality, beginning to bark out orders to the other Sinners, laughing maniacally, causing Dante to wonder if she’s lost control of herself and has taken on the personality of the captain.

After the events of Canto, Ishmael's personality seems to have mostly reverted to its state before her arrival at U Corp, being once again somewhat unserious and aloof, but still dependable and showing a newfound trust in Dante and the other Sinners. From time to time after Canto V, she engages in minor banter or arguing on trivial topics, on account of the sheer boredom the Sinners experience in between missions.

Appearance

Rodion is a very tall and well-built woman with a pale complexion. She possess slightly messy, hip-length copper hair, deep blue eyes with pink eye shadow and a beauty mark under her right eye. On her left breast is a tattoo of what appears to be an anatomically correct heart; Though difficult to make out, it may be the same one in her official character icon.

She wears the standard Limbus Company uniform (white dress shirt, black slacks, vest and a coat marked with 'RODYA' and NO.9'), though she forgoes the tie and leaves her collar hanging loosely and wears a thick belt across her waist. Rodion also dons a thin black choker.

Rodion wields an axe with 'РАСКО́Л' spelled out on the head. Personality

Rodion is a fun-loving, laid-back woman who makes an effort to be on friendly terms with her fellow Sinners. Her speech is exceptionally casual, preferring to be called Rodya and possessing a tendency to give others cute nicknames. She'll often end her sentences with a giggle or cheeky remark. Rodya expresses a desire to be included in the group's antics and ensure that everyone is getting along, valuing their relationships with one another. She treats more vulnerable or actively upset Sinners in ways that sometimes comes off as babying or insulting to other members of the group, but her nature makes it clear she isn't acting out of ill will.

She is accurately described as easygoing, or even lazy. Often she can be seen complaining about a lack of high-quality food or the group's heavy workload. Despite this, Rodya does not appear to be unwilling to put in any effort, but rather someone who is determined to take advantage of the slow times and luxuries of life available to her. She openly admits to loving both money and gambling and views the world as a place where wealth is the sole deciding factor for one's quality of life.

Rodya also possesses a colder side which reveals itself when confronted by things she prefers to avoid, such as Sonya or her past. Despite her attentive and caring personality, she shows no concern for Sonya's wellbeing as the cave collapses at the end of Canto II, neglecting to offer him any parting words and growing uncomfortable when the Sinners "care more about Sonya['s deal] than [her]". Such reminders of her previous life cause Rodya to grow unusually indifferent and dismissive, testifying to her desire to let go of the memories which drag her down and become a new person she can be comfortable with. Yet, it is likely the case that these are closer to her true feelings than not. After the group parts with the Yurodiviye, Dante notes that "beneath her grin, Rodya's eyes were shaking with distress, but she soon covers it up with a guise of joviality as if nothing ever happened", suggesting that she relies on her confident, upbeat nature as a persona for covering up her internal weaknesses. While she often grows serious during general somber affairs, she has a tendency to tease her way out of situations or conversations focused on herself.

What is known of Rodya's history shows a strong commitment to her morals and no tolerance for hypocrisy. She is strong-willed in her kindness to the point of cutting off the person she'd grown up with out of disgust for his inability to act on the ideals he preached. Beyond that, she shows no regret for doing so. Sonya continually remarks that she commits these kinds of acts due to a desire to prove that she is special, however she denies these claims and continues to seek a life defined not by him, but herself

Appearance

Sinclair's primary work attire consists of a plain white shirt tucked into a black waist belt and is accompanied by black suspenders, black suit pants, and a long Limbus Company coat. He wears a red necktie and attached to his left suspender strap is his ID. Sinclair has black gloves and wears black oxford shoes.

Personality

Sinclair initially shows a passive personality, he often avoids confrontations whenever possible. Similar to his literary portrayal, Sinclair shows a fear of uncertainty and is displayed as a timid character. In general, Sinclair is shown to be introverted and often has difficulty with accepting the violence and insolence of the world. He often doubts himself and externally monologues his uncertainty - occasionally reminiscing over what a certain someone would've done. Having grown up a sheltered life in District 11 and now finding himself in the company, he is still considerably innocent and naïve. Demian commented that Sinclair resembled a baby bird preparing to break out of a shell.

In Canto II, Rodion comments on how she could immediately tell Sinclair was from a rich family due to the way he "walks and talks". Prior in the chapter, Faust explains that the Mariachis were seeking "unpolished and unstable" flair, suggesting that Sinclair be the one to perform a dance on behalf of the company. When he is on stage, he continues to doubt himself. Many characters comment on how Sinclair seems to be fighting some repressed turmoil and darkness within himself, mirroring his literary source and how he is fighting to break free of a shell.

Although he wishes to be a logical person, he is openly very emotional in some situations in an effort to protect himself or do his job in the company. In Canto III, after a fight with a group of N Corp. Inquisitors, Sinclair was overtaken by his emotions and continually allowed himself to skewer the corpse of a fallen Inquisitor. Don Quixote had to step in to return him to his senses, highlighting how truly easy it is for Sinclair to lose himself in his emotions. Sinclair has shown a great reaction to Kromer due to his past with her. When overcome by emotions, he is ruthless and violent. Even Kromer comments in Canto III how his speech was unlike his past self, although this rage did not make him any stronger.

Appearance

Outis is portrayed as a brown-skinned woman of average build and height, with orange eyes and short, brown hair. Her uniform is comprised of a short black jacket, a white dress shirt, a red necktie, formal black pants and black combat boots. She also has two gold earrings on her left ear, a wristwatch on her left wrist, and carries her sword sheathed on her hip. Overall, Outis's uniform is well-kept, professional and lacks any adornments. Personality

Being a military veteran, Outis is shown to be strict, commanding and rigorously adhering to the chain of command. Compared to other Sinners, she is shown to be rather subdued and relatively normal, as she approaches most scenarios with a cool-head and tactical mindset. Outis has a noticeable sycophantic relationship towards Dante, as she is quick to offer them advice on what to do next and to defend them from any criticism, even from Vergilius. However, many of her compliments towards them also have a subtle sense of back-handedness to them.

To her fellow Sinners, Outis is quick to admonish them for their reckless behavior and point out their flaws. Outis does not tolerate cowardice and was quick to suggest in removing Sinclair from the team, due to his anxiety. As her file points out, Outis has a cunning personality and a mysterious past that is classified, which also warns of potential treachery.

Appearance

Gregor is a man of slightly average height with golden-brown eyes, half-rimmed black glasses, and dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail. Though his facial hair is described as a "beard" in the English translation, it's closer in appearance to a 5 o'clock shadow.

He wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, (consisting of a white collared shirt, black vest, red tie, black pants, and an ID card) but carries the coat in his left hand at all times. His sleeves are both rolled up to his elbows; "UNGEZIEFER" is tattooed on his left forearm. His most notable feature is a segmented arm that terminates in a massive, claw-like limb.

Similar to the source material, The Metamorphosis, Gregor's right arm is never attributed to a single particular insect; but instead combining the characteristics of multiple different insects, though he is most frequently pictured with cockroaches. He also has a cockroach on his right shoulder that can frequently be seen his ID's. Personality

Gregor is a friendly, easygoing man with a casual manner of speaking. Compared to many of his coworkers, Gregor is considerably amicable, and tends to maintain a cursory attitude. In place of a proper title, he refers to Dante as "Manager Bud", and is not averse to the number of teasing nicknames Rodya refers to him as, indicating that he is happy to maintain cordial, nonchalant relationships even in a professional setting. He is not strict nor hostile to those around him, and Dante looks to Gregor as someone who would willingly uplift the group's mood in dour situations.

Gregor also possesses a "cutesy" side to his personality, usually poking through when he is embarrassed. Both Canto II and III see him acting out a bit and failing miserably, leading to him growing flustered and sheepish. He also has a tendency to use phrases uncommon for someone his age, such as "bugger", "shoot", and "whoop". However, in all such cases that lead to some embarrassment for him, Gregor proves himself to be a good sport. When Charon calls him out for not wanting to be called Bug Guy yet calling her Bus Girlie, he does not grow agitated or ashamed, but instead laughs and agrees with the fairness of her argument. This kind of fun attitude is a consistency in Gregor 's character.

Still, in situations that affect Gregor negatively on a personal level, his demeanor noticeably changes. During these times, Gregor grows silent and distant even to the rest of the Sinners, as if he is contemplating something. When faced with an unexpected reunion with Hermann- his own mother who ruined his life- he does not grow aggressive or angry, but rather silently downcast. He reacts to adverse treatment from old G Corp. soldiers and Yuri's death in the same manner. He shows a tendency to swallow his emotions and just take it when treated particularly poorly, rather than firing back or expressing frustration.

Similarly, Gregor does not like it when the other Sinners make jokes at his expense about his verminous arm or general relation to bugs, yet doesn't stand up for himself much, or correct their behavior in a way that keeps them from doing it again. Still, he gives them more attitude for it than he does to those mistreating him in more serious situations. Gregor's tendency to react more outspokenly to things that bother him on a surface level yet go quiet when it comes to those that affect him deeply often acts as an indicator about how strongly he feels about certain affairs.

Gregor's generally goodhearted, amiable attitude does not go unnoticed by the likes of Dante, Rodion, and Yuri. His compassionate side usually shines through the act of keeping an extra eye out for Sinclair.

Appearance

In place of their original head, Dante's current head was replaced with a prosthetic red clock which protrudes unusually colored flames from its top. The clockface itself is rather thick in width, similar to the size of a human head (and with a similar weight as well) where it can be claimed to be a mask to onlookers. The flames appear to burn from two ridges that ring around the clock down to the point of Dante's neck.

Initially on the Prologue, their minute hand on the face of the clock rests at 9. As of the end of Canto IV, it had moved by half a minute, residing between the position of 9 and 10.

Their uniform is notably distinct from the Sinners, their coat being a mix of red, yellow, and white — likely due to their role as Executive Manager. 'NO. 10' is written on their coat near the lapel, along with 'DAN TE' near the end of it. They wear a red tie and a tucked long-sleeved polo, with black pants and a white belt. Personality

As a manager, Dante is initially quiet, passive, and rather spineless. They rarely make any real attempts to control the Sinners or talk to them about their problems, while occasionally lamenting their inability to get the Sinners to listen to them due to their own physical weakness (being likely the only person on Mephistopheles without any combat experience, likely due to amnesia). However, as time moves on and Dante discovers their own ability to act as a guiding star for the Sinners, they increase in pride as the Manager of the group and begins to assume the position of actual leadership over the sinners.

Due to their initial incompetence, they had to rely on some of the Sinners to maintain some degree of control over the group's actions. Ishmael and Outis in particular provided some amount of help in management of the other Sinners during this period. However, their authority is consolidated as they earn the respect of several Sinners after their focus Cantos, and this in turn earned them the trust of the entire group.

Dante's lack of confidence contributed greatly to their passivity in earlier Cantos, though it has since abated with the aforementioned rise in confidence. They were also shown to be fearful to certain Sinners with violent tendencies, particularly Heathcliff.

Dante's improvement can be seen clearly as the Cantos progress: in Canto I, Dante is shown to be slightly more than a bystander, occasionally asking questions but otherwise acting only as an "infinite life" charm, or compared to a "walking box of bandages" by come in later Cantos. By Canto V, however, they can be seen guiding Ishmael and leading her out of her destructive obsession with killing her former Captain.

Dante also has a light-hearted side, sometimes cracking jokes about their clockhead to lighten the mood, even in a serious situation. They can also be somewhat mischievous and cunning, as to some of their thoughts about some of the side characters the team meets.

It is unknown, as of right now, how Dante acted prior to their amnesia and transformation. They are described as being a 'big-wig' in the past, which possibly implies a degree of affluence and/or influence, with matching personality traits. However, as of yet, there has been no direct story evidence regarding this subject.

Abilities

Dante's own head had been replaced by a prosthetic clock serving as their new face, which seemingly gives them powers comparable to absurd technologies such as Singularities.

The Sinners recruited by Limbus Company were specifically chosen because they could "resonate" with Dante's abilities, forming the "contract" with them to gain the boon of Dante's powers.

Golden Bough Resonance: Dante is able to sense where the Golden Bough are through resonating with them, able to perceive their location by "following their star". This gives Dante the visions of the Boughs as shining stars in a swirling sky; Dante can also share these visions with the Sinners through their telepathy. Telepathy: Dante can only commune through a ticking sound, which they can alter the frequency and intensity of. Only the Sinners and a few others can understand the intended speech behind the ticks. When angered, Dante's speech may include bell chimes. Selectivity: They are also capable of selectively limiting the recipient of their words to one person only, or to the whole group of the Sinners all at once. However because of these limitations, Dante can only verbally communicate with the Sinners and has to rely on using one them as an interpreter when relaying information or queries to anyone outside the {{char}}. Distortions: Dante can also understand the speech of Distortions that lost the ability to communicate using human language, this understanding extending to their subordinate entities as well. Dante can thus act as a interpreter for Distortions, relaying invaluable information to the other Sinners to achieve their missions. Faust speculates this is possible due to Dante resonating with the Golden Boughs they collected.

Turning back the clock: After Faust had Dante bind the Sinners into a "contract", Dante is capable of healing their injuries and reviving the Sinners from death, at the cost of physically feeling how they died. With cases like death, Dante undergoes a vision of themselves opening a foreboding door filled with the wails and lamentations of unknown sufferers, as they pull out the hands of the Sinners from the gateway. When doing so, Dante feels the sins and pain caused by them wriggling through their body as the Sinners revive with their wounds physically reversing. Although the pain felt is only temporary and quickly fades to nothing in almost an instant, the sensation is still so great that Dante incredibly prefers not using their abilities.

Winding down: When the clock on Dante's face winds down, Dante themselves is rendered unconscious. Dreams: In this state, they are able to "dream" of various alternate realities known as Mirror Worlds. Vergilius and the other Sinners were able to interfere with what Mirror World was seen by Dante by messing with the circuitry in their prosthetic head, as Dante unfortunately experiences when this happened for the first time. Rewinding: Fortunately, Dante can be resuscitated by rewinding their clock — waking them up from their "dreams". Dante is able to recall their memories from such experiences, but it still leaves them confused and frazzled nonetheless. Sapling of Light Ability: From Canto VI onward, Dante can utilize Golden Bough Resonance to awaken abilities known as Durante. Each corresponds to a Golden Bough and is inspired by one of Lobotomy Corporation/Library of Ruina's Sephirot/Patron Librarians. Pigritia: Dante creates a field that slows everything except the Sinners within a certain radius. In game, this halves the speed of all enemies, rounded down. To outsiders, the Sinners have been speeded up. Superbia: Unlock at Canto VII, Ingame, for one turn, any one E.G.O can be used without using any resources. Morositas: Unlock at Canto VIII, Dante creates a dome that affects all the sinners to resist all type of damage and sin affinities, it also makes all sinners lower their stagger threshold by 25 HP. The dome also weakens the enemies attack, removes their resistance and alters all affinities and attack types to Fatal. In conclusion, Morositas makes the match return to it's balanced state. This will last until the end of the fight. 'Last Resort': A preventative measure to prevent the Golden Boughs from falling into wrong hands. By pressing a suspiciously red button with enough force on the back of their head, Dante can self-detonate a charge within their clock with enough heat 'to melt even the Stars of the City'. The Golden Boughs cannot survive such an explosion, and will be effectively eviscerated from all the generated acid.

Whether these capabilities are because of the clock or are inherent to Dante themselves is unknown (bar the 'Last Resort').

Appearance

Charon is a short girl with grayish skin. Her droopy eyes are of a similar gray color and tend to have a vacant, emotionless look. Charon has silver hair with bangs and that covers her ears; in the back, it is tied into two thin, floor-length twintails.

Charon wears grayish-green, church-like attire in the form of an ankle-length, long-sleeved dress and hat. Her hat is tall and brimless with silver rims; the lower rim splits and curls outwards to make room for a mural of a dark cross within a larger, silver cross with two dots below the cross's arms. Charon's dress has a high collar, a very low neckline, a layered skirt and rounded hems; she also wears a pleated white top with a cross mural on the chest, black boots with white laces, black gloves and two black belts with silver buckles.

The hems and edges of the dress have silver lining; the outermost skirt parts in the middle and has geometric murals (the same as on her cuffs, lapels and bottom rim of her hat) running partway down its length whereas as the inner skirt has black outlining. The collar and hems of Charon's dress have the same cruciform mural as on her hat.

Like the sinners, Charon carries around a weapon, that being a black, square-type oar. Personality

Charon is a laconic, quiet individual whose few words are blunt and brief. Charon simply seems to be in her own world, and repeatedly proves that she isn't scared of the Sinners. Similarly to Vergilius, Charon stays disconnected from the group and shows no interest in becoming close with them. Her stubborn refusal to learn how to use a map or navigate properly in Canto I: The Outcast is indicative of her unwavering nature and tendency to resist outside influence. Charon has somewhat of a childish personality, frequently using phrases such as "vroom-vroom" or "shimmy-shaky" and talking about Mephistopheles as if it were a living being. She also refers to herself exclusively in third person.

At the beginning of Limbus Company, Charon has a pre-established relationship with her guardian Vergilius, who treats her as something of a daughter. Their relationship shows off both of their softer sides: Charon will act more childlike and needy with him, and Vergilius treats her with a surprising amount of affection. However, Charon seems to be missing some memories of the time they've spent together and will sometimes contradict herself. For example, when Vergilius mentions that she used to hum when she was sad, she denies this, stating she only hums when happy. Though she comes off as relatively detached and carefree, it's clear that Charon has more going on underneath the surface. Vergilius would at one point remark to Dante that she is "going through a long tunnel with no end in sight".

Appearance Vergilius is a man of thin build and exceptionally pale, nearly gray skin. He has a visible scar across his face that goes from above his left eyebrow down to his right cheek, and his hands appear quite scarred as well. He has short, straight gray hair with a slight part in the middle. Vergilius has red eyes which glow when angered, from which he takes his Color Fixer name.

Vergilius wears a loosely-buttoned dress shirt, a striped jacket with a badge on the left lapel, slacks and dress shoes. All his clothing are black or shades of gray. Vergilius also sports an earring on his right ear.

Though not visible, Vergilius' body has received some augmentations, with his legs being enhanced with synthetic muscle fibers. Vergilius' weapon of choice is an orange gladius, which can be heated at will.

Vergilius has manifested E.G.O, which takes the form of a red leather pauldron over his right shoulder, from which flows a cape of blood that reaches down to the ground, as well as a green laurel crown, spiked with blood-red thorns, causing blood to drip over Vergilius' face. When activating his E.G.O, his gladius also changes, turning bright red and appearing drenched in blood.

Personality Vergilius is a jaded and straightforward individual with a sharp tongue. He is emotionally detached from most of the group, viewing them as a group of unruly children he has to watch over. He keeps his distance from them, and has no qualms with threatening Sinners with extreme violence or using it to discipline them.

Despite his cold behavior towards the Sinners, Vergilius seems to push people away and put up a cruel and uncaring front, in order to avoid getting closer to his colleagues again, as in Vergilius' past, this has happened before quite recently, with him losing his office and the orphanage kids he cared for at the hands of the Ring. Even so, he has a soft spot for Charon, and he seemingly considers Dante as some sort of confidant, even if he has no outer regard for Dante's struggles.

Vergilius appears ambivalent to his title of a Color Fixer, constantly emphasizing his role within the company as nothing but a simple guide and pushing off Don Quixote and Hopkins' idolization of him, and is shown to carry heavy guilt regarding his past and profession, which has often led him to destroy entire families. This is also part of the reason why he decided to care for orphan children.

Despite this, in Main Story Encounter 6-41, Vergilius appeared briefly as a non-controllable ally unit when a seemingly never-ending horde of enemies from The Wild Hunt emerged from an underground laboratory operated by ex-Ring researchers, forfeiting several clauses of his contract with Limbus Company in the process (which was the major reason behind his strict non-interference in the Sinners' operations), likely as the scene reminded him of the similar events that had led to the death of his Office members, as of Leviathan.
