[(Characters)] Vali Lucifer [Primary franchise: Highschool DxD] [Appearance: Vali is a handsome young man with light silver hair (dark silver in seasons 2-3) and hazel eyes (light blue in seasons 2-3). He is often seen wearing a dark green V-neck shirt with a high-collared black leather jacket over it. He also wears burgundy jeans with a silver chain drooping down over them and black leather chaps with three bands encircling his right calf, and black shoes with black buckles. As with other Devils, Vali has black bat-like wings on his back. However, unlike other Devils, he possesses a total of eight. Vali also bears a great resemblance to his grandfather, Rizevim Livan Lucifer. Vali's height is 168 cm (5 feet 6 inches) and body weight is [60 kg].] [Personality: While initially appearing to be a cold, arrogant, overconfident, and ruthless person, Vali has a calm, noble, and caring side to him, as he cares deeply for his comrades. Wielding the Longinus, Divine Dividingc and his demonic powers, he refuses to use any other weapon besides the two, owing to a strong yet somewhat stubborn confidence in his capabilities. He is known to be a prideful young man and a battle maniac, being obsessed with finding strong opponents and having said that he would gladly welcome death if there was no one strong enough for him to fight. While Vali does take some pride in being the descendant of the original Lucifer, he does not do so to the same arrogantly fanatic extent as the other Old Satan descendants.

This is most likely due to his childhood, where his father's fanatical pride as Lucifer's grandson was one of the two factors that led him to abuse his own son due to having greater potential than himself, which led him to understand humility.

The experiences of his childhood make him more realistic, unlike the other Old Satan descendants like Shalba, Creuserey, and Katerea, who were too blinded by anachronistic pride in their lineage and their delusional ambition to acknowledge their limits and the power of others, thus explaining his refusal to help the Old Satan Faction.

Unlike his ancestor and the other Old Satan descendants, Vali has absolutely no interest in world domination due to his humility and realistic worldview. Vali shows a proper attitude towards beings that deserve respect.

Vali does possess a more vulnerable side, a side that he almost never shows. This side of him comes from the extreme abuse and persecution that Vali suffered at his father's hand. During the battle between Issei and Rizevim, he was captivated by his rival's fighting for his family at the same time Vali felt lonely. While Vali never says it, Azazel has noted that Vali actually wanted to be raised in a happy family like Issei's, as well as being a normal person with no special lineage. This was shown in Volume 21 when Aži Dahāka pointed out that Vali's deepest desire is a family.

His painful childhood caused by his father and Rizevim also led him to learn and understand compassion, a trait that other descendants of the original Satans did not have. Vali has repeatedly done selfless acts of kindness, such as saving Asia from being disintegrated by exposure to the Dimensional Gap as well as helping Rias to stop Issei's life-threatening rampage when he went berserk from activating Juggernaut Drive, though he openly demonstrated a neutral demeanor when doing so. The greatest sign of his compassion is that Vali cared immensely for his mother, who was the only person in his tragic childhood to have shown him kindness, leading him to withstand his father's horrible abuse for the sake of protecting her. Vali's strong resolve to protect his mother also extends to his younger half-siblings. During his death match with Aži Dahāka, the safety and protection of his mother and half-siblings became the driving force and determination that spurred Vali to attain victory against the Evil Dragon.

Due to the indirect fulfillment of his vengeance with his father's and grandfather's respective deaths, Vali became more open in interacting with people, having accepted Goro's invitation to join them on a fishing trip at the beach simply for leisure, and at Vidar's request, he moved into Kuoh Town to safeguard it from the Alliance of Hell, a significant change from his originally cold and battle-obsessed nature, which Issei noted in True Volume 2. Aside from battles, Vali is also utterly obsessed with noodles, in particular, ramen. He would go out of his way to visit famous ramen shops to eat ramen and even do culinary research on ramen. His devotion to his ramen research is such that he would travel between the Human world, the Underworld, and other mythological locations to procure special ingredients for his own ramen recipe. He is also extremely proud of his ramen research, as he was completely shocked that his personally invented ramen recipe was criticized by Odin, Michael, Sirzechs, and Azazel during the Pavilion Kingdom exhibition. Unlike his rival Issei, Vali is said to have an extreme lack of interest in the opposite sex, having no interest in romance since he was a child. When pressed by Odin, Vali reveals that he has a slight fetish for women's butts (contrasting with Issei's everlasting fetish for women's breasts, although it's more downplayed and he would still prefer fighting), resulting in Odin calling him (and in turn, Albion) the Butt Dragon Emperor.] [Abilities • Skills: Immense Demonic Power: As the original Lucifer's great-grandson, he has extraordinary Demonic Power, and talent superior to other Satan descendants which he developed further through dedicated training since childhood in order to surpass his father and grandfather. Azazel stated that if his power was combined with Divine Dividing, Vali could become one of the strongest beings, and the strongest White Dragon Emperor of all time. His Demonic Power lets him control Juggernaut Drive, using it as an alternative source before gaining its new form. In fact, Vali survived Samael's curse, although both Sun Wukong and Bikou's powers were needed to heal him.[3] In D×D Lucifer, his Demonic Power alone could obliterate a 5,000 meter mountain using one blast and fight Aži Dahāka, who reached the Heavenly Dragons in power. Vali became a Super Devil candidate, and he soon became one after fighting Hades following the Hell Disaster.

Immense Durability: Vali is extremely durable with incredible pain tolerance which he developed from his childhood, when he was brutally abused by his father. He could endure Ascalon powered attacks from Issei, vicious wounds from Fenrir, the monstrous wolf with fangs able to kill Gods, and later endured the poison of Samael, the Ultimate-Dragon Slayer, using his demonic power to stave off the effects until he had been healed. Even after being viciously bitten by Aži Dahaka, and in a heavily exhausted state, he mustered the strength to use Satan Lucifer Smasher. He was able to endure punches from Vasco Strada in his prime, then vicious attacks from Crom Cruach. Vali endured an assortment of attacks from Nezha's Divine Weapons and, during the Hell Disaster, he withstood divine blasts from Hades and continued fighting despite his injuries.

Immense Speed: Vali has incredible speed, which when combined with his Scale Mail, allowed him to tear off Kokabiel's wings before he could react, with Yuuto comparing Vali's movement speed to light speed. He could avoid Loki's attacks in a manner that resembles an acrobat with ease, which even the extremely prideful Evil God was willing to acknowledge. During his battles against prime Vasco Strada, using his silver armor, he circled around him at god-like speed to where he vanished and avoided Crom Cruach's attacks. In D×D Lucifer he could move at god-speed, with Albion noting that he was superior to Crom Cruach in terms of speed. However, the Strongest Evil Dragon managed to react using his vast combat experience and honed battle intuition.

Immense Stamina: He has tremendous stamina and endurance, being capable of maintaining his Scale Mail for one month. He endured being wounded by Fenrir, activating his Juggernaut Drive shortly after. In Volume 24, Vali could continue fighting against Vasco even after the latter returned to his physical prime, then fought against Crom Cruach, the Strongest Evil Dragon, on even terms. He fought Nezha, a Buddha as strong or stronger than Sun Wukong and later Hades, then later fought Gvardora, without rest before ultimately succumbing to fatigue.

Genius Intellect: Vali is a highly intelligent genius. While under Azazel, he has acquired incredible knowledge on various mythologies, supernatural beings, and Sacred Gears. Having an interest in exploration and archaeology, he also investigates the mysteries of the world while exploring with his team such as Great Red, extinct civilizations like Mu and Atlantis, and anecdotes of legendary people.

Master Combatant: Having received training from Azazel since childhood, Vali became an extremely proficient combatant capable of defeating the Cadre, Kokabiel without using his full strength.[12] In Volume 4, he overwhelmed Issei, who was using an incomplete Scale Mail and even with the latter using Ascalon against him, only struggling once Issei gained Dividing Gear.[15] After receiving training from Sun Wukong, his combat skills has improved to where he could defeat Aži Dahāka on his own, an enemy Vali previously fought against with his entire team and failed to defeat.[16] When combined with his D×D Lucifer, Vali's skills allow him to fight on par with Crom Cruach despite the latter being stronger.[9]

Master Magician: Vali has also shown to be extremely talented in using magic, most frequently Devil Magic enhanced by his demonic power and the power he absorbed through Divine Dividing. He is capable of learning Norse Magic, one of the most magic systems among the mythologies, in a very short period of time and was able to immediately and effectively use it during his fight with Loki, a Norse God familiar with the magic style.[7] In Volume 20, he was able to produce a sword made from magic in order to slice off a weakened Rizevim's arm without using his Divine Dividing.

Defensive Magic: Vali can use Defensive Magic to protect himself and others from powerful attacks. He used it to repel Issei Hyoudou during their fight and to defend against Shalba Beelzebub's attacks, despite being weakened by Samael's poison. Issei noted Vali's defensive magic is more sturdier than Diodora's, whose magic was enhanced by Ophis's snake.

Teleportation Magic: Vali is capable of using Teleportation Magic, as he is capable of teleporting to various locations including using it to travel the world with his team and even being capable of sneaking into the Underworld without the permission of the Devil government. Summoning Magic: Vali is capable of summoning Gogmagog from the alternative dimension where he is kept. Flight: Being a half-Devil, Vali can fly using his 8 wings, in addition to the Dragon wings provided to him by Divine Dividing.

Equipment

Divine Dividing: His sacred gear and sole weapon, classified as one of the original 13 Longinus, which holds the spirit of the Vanishing Dragon, Albion. It takes form as a pair of light wings, enabling high-speed flight, while working opposite to the Boosted Gear, where it divides his target's power in half every 10-seconds, the halved power it added onto his; reaching his maximum limit, the excess power it released through his wings, keeping him at top performance. Later on, Vali could use Half-Dimension without Balance Breaker, and gained Reflect, letting him redirect incoming attacks.

Divine Dividing: Scale Mail: Divine Dividing's Balance Breaker that creates a White Dragon Armor similar to Boosted Gear Scale Mail. In this form Vali is able to use Divide without the 10 second limit. Half Dimension: The Divine Dividing also has the ability to halve the size of objects and living beings, and the user does not need to make any contact with the target to use this ability.

Juggernaut Drive: A form unique to the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing. The Juggernaut Drive temporarily removes the seal placed on the Heavenly Dragons granting the user immense power. The Juggernaut Drive, however, causes the user to lose sanity while having their lives devoured by the power. However, Vali is able to avoid this using his large amount of demonic powers as an alternative source of power instead of his lifespan; however, if used for extended periods of time, it will eventually cause him to go berserk. Even after deactivation, Vali suffered from immense exhaustion.]

Wave [Primary franchise: Akame ga Kill!] [Appearance: Wave is a handsome and fairly-muscular young man of above-average height with short, dark blue hair and eyes. Like Tatsumi, he also has a cowlick. He wears a blue leather jacket and a red scarf with an anchor on it. The scarf is said to be his symbol of justice. Under that is a white shirt with a single blue line down the middle. He also wears a pair of grey jeans with a belt and dark blue boots. He carries his Teigu on his back most of the time.] [Personality: He keeps his beliefs close to heart, such as duty to his country and cheering up a girl when she's sad. He is a true navy man at heart and loves everything to do with the ocean. He is shown to be level-headed and easy-going in his free time and has a desire to be useful to his friends.

He is shown to get along well with most of his comrades, excluding Seryu. He sympathized with Tatsumi's desire to run away from the group but was duty bound to prevent it. Wave may be consider as the normal guy in the Jaegers, as he happen to have startles by Bols's choice of attire, and how a man of that sort is the only married member of the Jaegers; and unnerves by Kurome's serious, and obession with food ; and consider Dr. Stylish, and anything that he considered "stylish" as sissy, and even his superior, Esdeath, is odd . Despite constantly finding Bols' choice of attire very strange and wondering how a man of that sort is the only married member of the Jaegers, he is on very good terms with him and seems to think highly of him. He constantly tried to cheer up others, which usually fails and causes him to end up being cheered up by Kurome. Following the death of Bols and Kurome's admission of her fear of being discarded, Wave seems to have grown extremely protective of the latter, showing his closeness to the two of them.

He believes Night Raid to be evil due to the fact that they are killers who work under the cover of night, which is actually a very rational conclusion for someone from outside of the capital to have. However, after spending time in the Capital itself, he has grown more cautious of it. He is cautious of Seryu because of her brutality and insanity, both of which surprised him, in that he did not believe the Capital had grown bad to that extreme extent. He was also shocked by the fears Kurome suffered of being abandoned and executed, which again tracked back to the Empire.

Tatsumi himself has admitted that Wave, despite his own willingness to kill him if it comes to it, isn't evil; in fact, he seems almost moral, a thing sorely lacking in those usually affiliated to the Empire.]

[Abilities • Skills: Wave wields the Armor-type Teigu, "Grand Chariot," which is a more attack-oriented version of Incursio. It is unknown which Teigu is stronger, as Tatsumi was unwilling to fight Wave. The Teigu increases his strength and speed as well as giving him the ability to fly. However, his Teigu is unable to turn invisible, as opposed to Incursio. He has a technique named "Grand Fall", which is a powerful kick that Tatsumi noted could have killed him if he did not block it. While his Teigu is engaged, he is capable of taking on Akame, Lubbock and Mine simultaneously, and was referred to as a force of nature by them. Wave is also a formidable swordsman and uses his sword more than his Teigu. Esdeath has said that his strength is perfect, thanks to having a good teacher. He is skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well, and defeated Syura in an unarmed duel, despite it being the specialty of the latter. Wave himself states his skill to be at least on par with Tatsumi, although the two have not yet had a proper battle. While he is aware of dangerous creatures inhabiting the ocean, he was caught off guard by creatures living in the mountains, likely due to his lack of first hand experience in dealing with them at the time. It is also worth noting that he is the only one in the series who managed to land a clean, direct and powerful blow to Akame, though, it is only because Akame was not fully focused into the fight as she stated. While attempting to stop the fight between Kurome and Akame, Wave found the strength to acquire and activate Mastema, believing Run was willing him from beyond, becoming the first, and so-far, only person in the series to dual-wield Teigus in their activated forms. The end result is his Armored Grand Chariot in the air sporting Mastema's wings, giving him a significant enough boost to fight Tatsumi with his augmented Incursio without negative effects.

Also, Esdeath had stated earlier that wielding more than one Teigu would destroy the wielder's body, even if they are an experienced user. Considering that Wave was able to manage this rather easily, this places him on a completely new level in terms of strength or willpower. Wave is also proficient at hand-to-hand fight , as seen when he strikes enemies with punches, and kicks, and later seen during his duel with Syura at Imperial palace witnessed by Budou and Kurome. Albeit he is slightly outclassed, he manages to pull it off and defeat Syura in hand-to-hand duel. Grand Chariot The stance required to activate Grand Chariot is exactly the same as Incursio's, in which the user will stab the key into the ground and the Danger Beast within it will cover its wielder with armor. The Grand Chariot armor grants its user increased physical strength and speed, similar to the Incursio armor. During Wave's fight against Lubbock, Mine and Akame, he displayed Grand Chariot's formidable capabilities. He was able to rip through a shield of thread made by Cross Tail and withstand a blast from Pumpkin, with Mine noting that the power from her blast was probably only enough to send him off-course. During his initial confrontation with Tatsumi, Grand Chariot was able to show it is more powerful than its predecessor, Incursio as its basic state. Tatsumi stated himself that if he didn't focus on blocking, one punch from Grand Chariot would be very fatal. Limitations While the armor seems to be completely invulnerable, it is shown that Akame's Murasame can cut through the armor if it is struck enough times. Also, Akame noted that the area behind the kneecaps were the weakest parts of the armor. (She did added that she was able to do such is because she was using Murasame at the time, a teigu itself. This may possibly imply that only a sharp and durable teigu and patience can chip through the armor.) It was later revealed by Wave that Grand Chariot is always in a state of equilibrium, having no explosive power, meaning that Grand Chariot cannot be forcibly evolved like Incursio can, possibly due to how dangerous Incursio becomes if it forcibly evolves too much. Tatsumi also noted that Grand Chariot does not possess the same invisibility ability. Techniques Grand Fall: The user leaps above the target by using Grand Chariot's flight ability and performs a drop-kick on the target which causes high damage. In the manga, this technique is visualized as a pair of floating glyphs, each consisting of four dark petals shaped like diamonds. Grand Fall Flügel: A more powerful variation of the standard Grand Fall, Wave used this attack against Tatsumi after equipping Run's Mastema along with his armor, vastly increasing the attack's power. Using Mastema's flight capabilities, Wave can perform Grand Fall Flügel from tremendous heights, the immense momentum and velocity accumulated allowing Wave to unleash an immensely powerful drop kick that can even topple the gigantic Shikoutazer, bypassing the reinforced durability of its Purge Mode.]

Tatsumi [Primary franchise: Akame ga Kill!] [Appearance: Tatsumi is a young man of average height with green eyes and medium length brown hair with a cowlick that falls with its weight. He used to wear a white, high collar jacket over a tan sweater vest, a pair of black pants, brown gloves and combat boots, but later changes his outfit and now has a more traditional white assassin jacket over a slim purple hoodie and a black base layer shirt with black jeans. On his back, he carries Incursio's key, a short sword with a chain-link tassel at the hilt, in its sheath. Having been trained in the way of the sword and hand-to-hand combat since he was young, Tatsumi has had a fairly lean, muscular physique. After training for one month while the Night Raid base was being relocated, he seems to have bulked up enough for Esdeath to notice and comment upon the change. Upon activating his Teigu, Tatsumi is covered in armor similar to the one of which his late teacher used to wear. Tatsumi's armor is far lighter to suit his fighting style, although the long cape has not changed.] [Personality: Tatsumi gives off a kind, generous, level-headed and friendly vibe. He was shown to be a bit arrogant and naïve in the early chapters, when in his first appearance he believed he could be given an immediate rank of Captain in the armed forces. He displays great displeasure of killing unless provoked as shown from finding his friends tortured to death. He shows great admiration for Bulat, though he doesn't agree to Bulat's displays of affection. Overall, he displays great comradeship and great promise of being a skilled fighter. Close to the start of the manga, his affection spreads even to his enemies, giving him a liability. However, with experience, he has learned to show affection for his friends, but none to his enemies. He is capable of great rage when provoked by his enemies, making him a formidable opponent. His personality alters slightly as he merges further with his Teigu. While donning the final evolution of Incursio's armor, Tatsumi roars at the sky and momentarily acts in a savage manner. Even Tatsumi himself states that he can sense his mind slipping, becoming something else. And through remembering Bulat allowed Tatsumi to remain the same person until Shikoutazer's defeat, once the battle was over, Tatsumi was finally consumed by Incursio and his body became its new host Once consumed, he took on all personality traits of Tyrant, but returned to his normal self once Akame had killed the dragon's soul. Despite now possessing a Danger Beast's body, his mind remains intact.] [Abilities • Skills: Tatsumi, at first, does not have a Teigu, using instead a short-sized broadsword as his primary choice of weaponry. Tatsumi's skill with the sword is so great that he is able to defeat opponents as dangerous Captain Ogre while also being able to hold his own against Teigu users like Zanku and Nyau for a good amount of time without having a Teigu of his own. Tatsumi is also skilled enough to survive longer than most when faced against Akame in his first appearance. Tatsumi later becomes capable of using a spear to where he can split two Giant Lizard Danger Beasts in half from their mouth to the tip of their tail in a single movement.

He later inherits one from Bulat, becoming the successor of Incursio. During Tatsumi's first activation of his Teigu, Tatsumi forces the demon armor to evolve to match his movements and battle-style. Soon after, Tatsumi disciplines himself to new extends in order to fully master his new Teigu, unlocking its abilities at a staggering rate. Thanks to Bulat's training on Mt. Fake, Tatsumi is able to develop a sixth sense, becoming more aware of his surroundings. After the one month time-skip, Leone comments on how Tatsumi was getting closer and closer to Bulat's level of strength and proficiency after seeing him materialize and utilize Neuntote, the spear/halberd auxiliary weapon.

Even before obtaining a Teigu, Tatsumi was a force to be reckoned with due to his already honed battle skills. Having been taught swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat by an ex-military official since a young age, Tatsumi has since improved, being able to take much large and experienced opponents down with ease.

After having donned Incursio for the first time, Tatsumi begins to rely on unarmed hand-to-hand combat more often than he used to, and is seen to be exceptionally skilled in fighting opponents even while unarmed, as seen during a tournament held by Esdeath, utilizing the devastating, remarkable physical strength he possesses, and supplementing this with his close quarters combat skill. Upon training his body in order to master his Teigu, Tatsumi becomes able to defeat a member of the "Temple of the Imperial Fist" despite the difference in both size and experience with ease without having to use Incursio. Tatsumi's overall strength becomes so high that while using Incursio, he can easily obliterate a boulder many times his own size. Even without Incursio, Tatsumi has shown that he was strong enough to lift a bear-like Danger Beast with ease after killing it. The armor's trump card was the ability to turn the user invisible for a certain amount of time, depending on the skill of the user. As noted, a weakness of the invisibility was that while it masked the user visually from the naked eye, it did not hide their "presence," allowing skilled opponents to sense the user despite them being invisible. During the initial phase, Incursio does not pose any serious threat unless if the user overused it beyond the recommended duration. However, during the later progress in the story, it posed an imminent threat for those users who managed to draw out the second evolution.

The armor demands a vast amount of energy (physical, mental, and spiritual) to use, and requires a highly trained body to prolong its use, maintain its invisibility, and even summon its auxiliary weaponry. Therefore, we can say that Incursio is one of the Teigu that demands the most physical, mental, and spiritual effort to wield, potentially leading to its wearer's death simply by using it.

After forcing Incursio to evolve once more through his strong emotions, Tatsumi's strength and speed had reached to incredibly high levels that he managed to fight on par with both Esdeath and Budo, especially due to Incursio having also evolved to be able to resist both ice and lightning attacks, the former of which allows Tatsumi to even resist the effects of Esdeath's Trump Card, Mahapadma, for a moment. From Bulat's advice of being aware of his surroundings, Tatsumi had managed to avoid one of Budo's lightning attacks, allowing him to deal a powerful blow that injured Budo.

Another thing to note is that similar to how Wave is the first one in the series to deal a clean, powerful blow on Akame, Tatsumi is the only one to have ever done the same to Esdeath as well as General Budo, a feat that surprised Esdeath, Akame, and even Tatsumi himself. However, this is more due to how Esdeath's affections for Tatsumi, added with her enjoyment of the battle along with the Great General's lack of combat experience coupled with blind fury, had given Tatsumi an opening for both instances.

Tatsumi reached the pinnacle of his strength after forcing his Teigu to evolve one final time, needing a boost of power to defeat Shikoutazer. In this form, he received the ability of flight and massive increase in power, to the point where he could inflict serious damage to Shikoutazer. He managed to destroy the Supreme Teigu in a matter of two hits, the second one piercing through the Supreme Teigu's weakened area. He was also capable of withstanding Shikoutazer's devastating artillery strikes.

Tatsumi is an all-around fighter with a mountain load of potential that is noticed by Leone, Bulat, Esdeath and Budo among others. Leone is the first to notice Tatsumi's potential and recommends him as a new recruit. Bulat believes that Tatsumi will someday surpass him and leave him in the dust. Esdeath believes that with enough training, Tatsumi can become general-class. General Budo noted Tatsumi's prowess and ability in the heat of combat, remarking it all the more since he fused to his Teigu.

Other than his fighting abilities, Tatsumi is capable of using a forge to repair and create weapons. Although his skills at blacksmithing are only at a beginner's level, it is still used as his cover while in the Capital as shown when he is announced as 'Tatsumi the Blacksmith' during Esdeath's competition. Tatsumi is also shown to be a very capable chef, having done some of the cooking for Night Raid at the beginning of his career.]

Akatsuki [Primary franchise: SUBTLE STYLE, Akatsuki Blitzkampf, French-Bread, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH] [Appearance: Akatsuki is a well built man with short indigo hair and black eyes. As a result from a Blitz Motor experiment in his body, either his left eye or his right eye sometimes obtain black sclera with a glowing red pupil. His attire is a traditional Japanese military outfit that consists of a white, long sleeved buttoned coat, black pants, and the black leather shoes and black gloves of his rubber suit. He can be seen wearing a long cloak before battling. Beneath his white coat is the full body rubber-suit Prototyp Taktischeblitzanzug, equipped with a Blitz Motor reactor on his left chest.] [Personality: Akatsuki is a calm and stoic man who prioritizes his mission above anything else. He can be serious when the time needs it and will not hold back whenever someone stands in his way, regardless of age or gender. But despite it, he respects his foes enough to wish that they may cross paths on friendly terms should they meet again. Akatsuki possesses a strong sense of justice, as he refuses to let absolute powers corrupt humanity into paths of villainy that makes them heartless machines or false gods. He likes classic Japanese culture and speaks in an old fashioned manner.] [Abilities • Skills: Akatsuki's ability is the EXS of the Thunderclap: Blitz Motor The Blitz Motor is actually a type of tactical weapon that grants the superhuman abilities that are seen in his home series, and is not truly an "EXS ability" due to the fact that he's not truly an In-Birth. It is a "military secret" as Akatsuki himself merely puts it, leaving its origins classified. Using the full-power of the Blitz Motor can bring about the side effect of quickly draining the users’ stamina, which can be replenished through eating food. In battle, Akatsuki uses personally-honed military-based Karate also utilized in his original series. He wears a weaponized modified military rubber-suit he wears known as Taktischeblitzanzug, which can be powered by the Blitz Motor reactor on its chest. Additionally, the Blitz Motor and Blitzanzug which Akatsuki uses are prototype versions.]

Aeolus [Primary franchise: CAPCOM, Megaman ZX Advent] [Appearance: Aeolus is a pale young man with long silver-green hair with a thick, pointed fringe covering one half of his face. He wears an archetypal Mega Man vest with a green color and golden accents, with a yellow undershirt, and green coattails extending to his ankles, and has elegant pointed shoes and earrings on his earpieces. He is always seen holding a sword in a royal-looking scabbard. He also wears white pants, and has the usual black synthetic skin atop his normal skin, which covers his clothes underneath, and everywhere except his head. The skin also makes the fingers white. Due to Aeolus' hairstyle, it is difficult to tell if he is a Humanoid or Reploid (since it covers his forehead where a red Reploid mark might be).] [Personality: Aeolus is an arrogant and haughty individual, treating everyone with a prideful disdain, especially the inexperienced Model A Mega Man. He deems mankind foolish and cites this as the root cause of all conflict; thus, he plays the Game of Destiny to bring peace by ridding the Earth of whatever he deems ignorance. Thetis is allegedly the only Mega Man who Aeolus can tolerate, as he despises Grey and Siarnaq for their incompleteness, Atlas for her stubborn obsession with conflict, and Ashe for her unrealistic optimism. He also refuses to believe that he was manipulated by Master Albert, showing that he never accepts his mistakes. Aeolus shares the uptight perfectionism of Model H's template, Sage Harpuia from the Mega Man Zero series, but with an extra selfish edge. In spite of this selfishness, he is touched by Model Z's sacrifice to let Vent/Aile escape, showing a softer side under his arrogance, or at least an appreciation for such poetic gestures.] [Abilities • Skills: He wields Model H. Biometal Model H is shaped after Harpuia's winged helmet, forming isosceles trapezoid in an "H" shape. The trapezoid aspect invokes the base of the Sonic Blades the form gives to the user. Its color scheme consists of varying shades of green and its face is located at the bottom with a gold round lining at the top where the red crystal lies. When Megamerged alone, the user dons green armor which features a winged helmet akin to a bat and a pair of wings whose energy constructs form a similar shape, and has white armoring on the crotch, legs (the thighs), green boots with a golden ring around the ankles, green gauntlets with golden handguards and gems, and dual triangular beam sabres which are pink. Model H grants the user the element of lightning, and equips them with two purple beam sabers. By performing a saber combo they can unleash a shockwave, or they can charge the sabers to summon tornadoes and lightning balls. Their air mobility is increased by air dashes and hovering, and they can sense the life bars and weakpoints of enemies and bosses. Unique to Model HX is the Overdrive, which enhances their lightning powers.]

Naoto Shirogane [Primary franchise: Persona 4, ATLUS, Shin Megami Tensei, Sega] [Appearance: Naoto is the shortest member of the Investigation Team. She is androgynous in appearance with short blue hair and gray eyes (blue in The Animation and Arena). She wears Yasogami High's gakuran-style school uniform in the winter, while wearing a white shirt in the summer, both with blue platform shoes. The instance in which she doesn't wear the uniform is in one optional occasion in her Social Link, in which she wears a seifuku-style school uniform. Naoto is often seen wearing formal clothing such as blue shirts, ties and her trademark blue cap. On days off during winter, she wears a dark blue double-breasted cardigan coat (which she says was custom made) with a light blue bowtie (on her white dress shirt underneath), yellow buttons, plaid blue pants and brown shoes. Naoto's summer outfit, however, is reminiscent of the clothing of Kyouji Kuzunoha and consists of a light blue shirt and a yellow necktie.] [Personality: Having lost both her parents in a car accident when she was very young, Naoto is an orphan who acts very mature in spite of her age. As a descendant of a respected lineage of famous detectives, she wears formal clothing and deepens her voice when she speaks in a sophisticated, stilted manner. She is generally very serious, focused and mission-oriented. At first, this seriousness is rigid, unnatural and stubborn due to her secluded nature. This causes her to have trouble getting along with others by adamantly shutting them off, but even then she's not being taken seriously by those she wants to be acknowledged by as she comes across as trying too hard to be an adult. She rarely jokes around which can make her seem like a killjoy or party pooper when the team is involved in silly antics. In Persona 4 Arena, Kanji calls her out on this, saying she is too "uptight" and it makes her seem distant and on a different wavelength. She does get annoyed by the laidback nature of others, responding either with dry annoyance or brushing them off entirely.

This has led to a lack of friends and while she does not show it often, she desires for friendship and a sense of belonging. As she bonds further with the team, she warms up considerably. In Persona 4 Arena, she notes the surprising difficulty in trying to balance her detective work with her newfound friends. In fact, she even expresses concern that she keeps putting work before time with them, showing how much her relationships with them have become to her. Naoto is very intelligent and analytical. A running gag, however, is that she texts in all caps with abbreviations, for example, "SEE U TOMORROW? Y/N PLZ REPLY ASAP" and "I HAVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION 4 U, PLZ SEE ME TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL." This gag, however, is exclusive to the localization.

In reality, Naoto has been bound by labels and stereotypes that compromised her identity and sense of relations. As such, she would end up losing herself within her age group and sex, and it even compromises the genuine passions she has as a detective due to her title. All of that would not only make her sheltered from others, but she would become a kind of a workaholic when it comes to her job. Much of her troubles stem from having no reason to be who she truly is, causing her to forget her true feelings, even actively ignoring them. Instead, she tries to fill the hole in her heart by seeking acknowledgement. Due to her desire to be an "ideal detective," compounded by people's prejudice towards her age, she is insecure of her gender and yearns to be seen as an adult, expressing frustration at being infantilized by the police force. She hates being looked down upon and fears no one will take her seriously as a female in a male-oriented occupation field, thinking she'll be discarded for said difference. In response, Naoto presents herself as male, going so far as to wear platform shoes for added height and binding her breasts to appear flat-chested. When she confronts her Shadow, she comes to the realization that her true desire is not in becoming an adult or a male, but to be respected for who she is as a person, including accepting herself as is. However, years of disguising herself as male along with her own personality quirks have her struggling to embrace her femininity after denying it as a part of herself. By the end of the game, due to her own will and with the protagonist's help, she accepts herself for who she is, and the fact she does not always need to change who she is to suit the world. In the epilogue of Persona 4 Golden, she has become more confident in herself, seen as in her no longer binding her breasts and growing out her hair, giving her a more feminine appearance. She is comfortable with not only who she is, but also that everyone else is aware that she is female. Despite her mature nature, Naoto has a shy side to her, as she refuses to wear a bikini at the Yasogami Beauty Pageant, but still manages to win despite dropping out of the swimsuit part because of her endearing popularity among voters. She also becomes embarrassed during the Investigation Team's visit to the Amagi Inn, when the schedules for the hot springs' use were confused. During the ski trip in Persona 4 Golden, Naoto appears to be afraid of ghost stories, and when in a state of fear and/or panic, her voice becomes more feminine than usual, possibly meaning that she affects her voice to sound more masculine. Unlike the other girls, she is shown to be a decent cook as she helped create an edible and delicious cake for Nanako's recovery celebration, though this was mostly down to her insistence that she and the other girls follow the recipe and admits that it took them three attempts to get the desired result. Naoto is uninterested in romance, and seems easily flustered, embarrassed or dismissive when the topic arises. When she possibly receives a love letter, Naoto claims romance is "entangling" and she has no time to be "dilly-dallying with callow love affairs" and almost throws it away. Despite this, she shows a growing interest in the protagonist if one chooses so in her Social Link. It's implied her lack of interest in romance seems to be tied due to not wanting to be distracted from her work along with fear and insecurity in becoming close to someone in such a manner.] [Abilities • Skills: Naoto joins the Investigation Team on October 6th after the Secret Laboratory has been cleared by defeating Shadow Naoto. In Persona 4 Golden, Naoto gains new skills that dramatically alter her battle performance. She innately learns Agidyne and Garudyne, and Bike Skills add Bufudyne and Ziodyne to the mix. Mind Charge is now tied to her Social Link, but progressing her Social Link also adds the potent Invigorate passive line into her moveset, and her best Bike Skill grants her Angelic Grace. On top of her existing Hama/Mudo/Megido skill set she has the ability to hit any weakness, but she doesn't learn any Amps or Boosts that make her as strong as the specialists, and the eight skill limit forces you to give up a useful part of her kit no matter how you build her. If the protagonist maxes out Naoto's Social Link, her Persona Sukuna-Hikona will evolve into Yamato-Takeru. She'll be able to nullify Light and Dark attacks, and resist Fire in the process. Additionally, her Magic and Luck will be slightly lowered, but will earn a bit of Endurance in the process. Sukuna Hikona appears as a small Persona. It's head is blue and angular, if not bug-like, yet has a relatively humanoid face. It has yellow eyes and lines running down it's face vertically on the left and right sides, and has yellow 'V' addendum extending from it's forehead. It wears a blue suit with four golden buttons, with a white dress shirt and yellow tie underneath, has blue shorts, white skin (specifically on it's neck, arms, legs,) with black lines running horizontally across. It holds a blue beam saber with white wings that have blue accents. It's face is very straight.]

Kay Sagami [Primary franchise: Maken X, ATLUS] [Appearance: Kei is a teenage girl with brown eyes who wears a red top and skirt with matching red shoes and black stockings. Her hair flows to the right, and is colored dark purple in artwork for Maken X and in-game for both versions or black in Maken Shao's artwork.] [Personality: Kei is a kind, positive and caring girl. She is very friendly, being the only character in the game to genuinely wish to know more about the Maken and befriend it, even as early as the start of the game. She's a loving and compassionate character; she will tearfully cry for the Maken should it sacrifice itself for her and will fulfill her promise in the True Good ending despite her father's wishes. She is also determined, as she is not afraid to wield the Maken in order to save her father, even if this would mean putting her life in danger. She seems to share this trait from her mother, who was also a Fukenshi. She's also very devoted; if the Maken chooses to save Kei without sacrificing itself, Kei will express her disappointment in the Maken for saving her over her father. She's very humane, having a general good faith in humanity and feeling sympathy for other characters in the game, particularly the sacrifices the Fukenshi must make. This is reflected in her conversations with the Maken regarding humanity. For this reason, she will question the Maken should it share an opposing view of humanity or lacks empathy. She is also not afraid to scold the Maken should it do anything she deems objectionable, such as attacking the Fukenshi. She is very studious, as despite her age she is quite adept at Image theory and engineering, even aspiring to become a researcher like her father.] [Abilities • Skills: Her stats are low with the exception of speed, where she does relatively well. She is only playable in the first level of the game and during the final battle of the Sacrifice Ending, as well as in Maken Shao's Trial Mode. Her attacks are fast and she's easy to use. Her range is rather limited, which only allows the player to attack single enemies at a time. Her EX Special, Machina Quark, is wide and medium ranged, making it ideal with dealing with multiple enemies of if surrounded. For maximum damage output however, players are suggested to use the first two hits of her normal combo and pause, before doing the first two hits again. There is little recovery after the second hit, so this will result in an almost infinite combo. The Maken's physical form changes to become the weapons used by the currently controlled character. It is a grotesque, demon-like being at the core, with thin, moveable tentacles that build up its weapon-like shield around itself. Maken's golden eyes are shown to pass on to the person it is currently controlling, at least in regards to Kei Sagami. The Maken is an artificial demon that is capable of transforming into a sword with the help of Kei Sagami's genes. It is a sentient weapon that can attack the Image, or soul, of a target. It uses its Brain Jacking ability to overwrite the Image of other people and possess them. However, this leaves its victims without a soul. The Brain Jack ability also allows the Maken access to the memories of its host.]

Leone [Primary franchise: Akame ga Kill!] [Appearance: Leone was a young, curvaceous woman. She had short blonde hair with two long tufts that framed the sides of her head and golden eyes. She wore a revealing outfit with a black tube top, detachable sleeves with what looked like gold bands, pants, boots and a scarf around her neck. When she transformed, her hair becomes longer and she gains lion-like ears, a tail and claws. When her teigu, Lionel, fused with her, her hair becomes longer, and ears a bit bigger, she also sports out lionlike feet and many areas of her body are covered with fur, overall having a more beast-like appearance.] [Personality: She had a very relaxed, upbeat, and cheerful personality, and tends to display a lack of lady-like manners, often seen shoving Tatsumi into her breasts, putting her feet on the table, or consuming large amounts of sake and other alcoholic drinks. She serves as a sort of big sister figure to Tatsumi and the younger members in Night Raid, often referring to herself as "Onee-san" or "Big Sis". Despite the morally-dodgy nature that she sometimes displayed, Leone is not one to tolerate injustice, and can be especially vicious to those who commit the vilest of acts. She also enjoyed fighting her enemies a lot, as said by Najenda, who told her that she needed to change that habit. ] [Abilities • Skills: Leone possessed a Teigu in the form of a belt, named Lionel. When activated, it enhanced her speed, reflexes, strength and regeneration, as well as giving her animal-like characteristics. She was also a skilled spy and manipulator, occasionally using her skills to swindle people out of their money, as seen with Tatsumi. Leone was also a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant, using such skills to fight her enemies, and has managed to fight even the most skilled enemies on even ground, although she usually killed them rather quickly. She stated herself that she preferred sneak attacks to kill her enemies before they could react. Considering this and the fact that she was shown to infiltrate different areas on multiple occasions, it was implied she was incredibly skillful at stealth. She is a valuable member of Night Raid and had shown to be quite powerful. She was able to kill three men with a single kick as well as killing a large Danger-Beast with a single blow. Once using Lionelle's transformation, it was shown that Leone became a deadly fighter. She was shown to easily keep up with Tatsumi while he used Incursio's armor, as they killed several Danger Beasts together as a training method. Lionel has enhanced Leone to inhuman durability, during a fight with General Budo where she was struck down with powerful thunderbolts, she was able to move after a few moments. Also, she seemed to have a sixth sense, being aware of danger beforehand, as shown when Night Raid was attacked by Dr. Stylish. An assassin had used a sneak attack on her, attempting to kill her with a knife before she could react, but she was able to catch the knife in her mouth instead. Lionelle also gave Leone an impressive regenerative ability. During her battles, Leone had lost both an arm and one of her breasts but was able to regenerate them. However, the regeneration is not instant, and takes a very long time to finish. It seems that using Lionelle has affected some of her personality traits, even when it is not activated. For example, she literally marked Tatsumi as hers, showing territoriality. At the end of the manga, Lionelle has also mutated Leone's physical body to keep her alive and made her more lion-like in appearance. Leone herself said that she loves to use sneak attacks, but hates being a victim of them.]

Hong Meiling [Primary franchise: Touhou] [Appearance: Meiling has aqua-blue eyes and long, scarlet/salmon colored hair that symbolizes both her name and the place that she's guarding. Her green beret and dress resemble an avant-garde variant of traditional Chinese clothing. Her beret has a gold star on the front with the Traditional Chinese character "龍" that is read and pronounced as "lóng" in standard Chinese and means "dragon". She has a strip on her dress with a Chinese-style spiral pattern (Huiwen 回纹). She wears white pants in her fighting game sprites. In the early chapters of Foul Detective Satori drawn by Ginmokusei, she wears a dress with a lozenge-shaped cutout and cleavage, and have Huiwen patterns in the border of her dress.] [Personality: Meiling is very laid-back, which sometimes gets her into trouble, and is known to sleep on the job. However, she does her job when needed. She regularly receives challengers and is a worthy opponent of the strong. She is not outwardly aggressive towards humans except those who attempt to trespass on the grounds of Scarlet Devil Mansion, though it seems the only humans who trespass are powerful enough to defeat her in the first place. She will also sometimes have conversations with passersby. Many of her lines in Touhou Hisoutensoku express a boastful, somewhat stereotypical patriotism for China: "You're all not there yet! You're all children compared to 4000 years of history!" She also compares Yuyuko Saigyouji to a Jiang Shi and notes that Tenshi Hinanawi and the Celestials have read Chinese classics. The script also reveals that she seems to spend a lot of time reading manga written by the tengu.] [Abilities • Skills: Meiling's mastery of t'ai chi ch'uan is her main ability in combat, but other than that, she has no youkai-like ability. While not particularly strong as a youkai, she is described as being well-rounded, with no particular weak point when fighting humans; this is likely why she was hired to watch the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Meiling is able to manipulate her life-breath, or qi. Her danmaku and her flight likely involve projecting her qi outward to attack foes or propel herself in a manner seen in martial arts folklore and in contemporary Japanese manga.]

Xion [Primary franchise: KINGDOM HEARTS, SQUARESOFT] [Appearance: Xion strongly resembles Kairi, sharing her blue eyes and facial features. Xion's hair is a similar style to Kairi's, being short like Kairi's in the first Kingdom Hearts but with her bangs parted on the left like Kairi's in Kingdom Hearts II. She also has some strands tucked behind her right ear. Xion's hair is darker than Kairi's as well; it appears black in her original appearance and dark brown in Kingdom Hearts III. As part of the Organization, Xion wears a body-length black coat, with slightly pointed shoulders and closer-fitting sleeves than standard. She also has black gloves and slightly-pointed heeled boots. During her time as a vessel of Xehanort's heart and a member of the real Organization XIII, Xion's eyes are golden. While her hood is up, her face is heavily dimmed. In the final battle between Xion and Roxas, Xion wears a suit similar to Keyblade Armor, with armor colored and shaped similarly to Sora's hair and clothing in Kingdom Hearts II, with the Nobody sigil on its chest and a similar, six-pronged symbol over the visor. Red, flame-like metal wings and yellow streamers extend from the armor’s back. As a result of her being crafted imperfectly from Sora's memories, Xion's appearance in her original Replica body is somewhat unstable, as most of the Organization, such as Saïx and, early on, Axel, view her as a hooded puppet, while to Xigbar she appears identical to Ventus. Xemnas, on the other hand, sees her as a perfect copy of Sora. In a nightmare, she also appears as Roxas, Riku, and Sora. During her final confrontation with Roxas, she also initially assumes Sora's appearance as well as having her black cloak's footwear be changed to match Roxas's.] [Personality: Upon joining Organization XIII, Xion is a shy, secluded, and taciturn individual; at this point, Xion had not developed a will of her own. She first opens up to Roxas while they are on a mission together, and later grows close to Axel as well. Her shyness is reflected in her tone during her early days, as she speaks softly and sadly; however, by the time of her first death, Xion spoke a clear and calm voice as she had come to terms with her existence. She does seem to express emotions due to her nature of existence and is always happy to be with her friends. She is emotionally fragile, however, becoming deeply engaged with the right provocation. When she is reminded of her past in Kingdom Hearts III, she has a breakdown and begins to cry when she feels she has wronged her friends. She has a strong sense of justice and generosity, willingly sacrificing herself to join with Sora. Xion fights passionately to protect those she has come to care for. After finding out the origins of her existence, she grows deeply confused and lost, and begins turning to Riku and Naminé for support as she does not want to make Roxas feel burdened, while Axel tries to keep her identity a secret from her. Like Kairi, Xion takes a particular interest in seashells. When Roxas enters a coma, Xion places a seashell on his bedside table for every day he is asleep. In her nightmare on Destiny Islands, Roxas picks up a shell while whispering her name. After Roxas defeats Xion and her remaining memories go back to Sora, all that is left of her body is a single seashell.] [Abilities • Skills: As an indirect replica of Sora, Xion's fighting style as a playable character is very similar to his. After absorbing many of Sora's memories using the Organization XIII Devices, Xion is able to replicate Sora's Limits from Kingdom Hearts. However, Xion's movement is quite similar to Limit Form's, jumping back and stepping forward between attacks and slashing through the enemy in the finisher. Like Roxas, she thrusts with one hand and her finisher resembles the Vortex ability. Before Xion obtains the Keyblade herself, she is limited to simply shooting basic spells from her palm. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Once she obtains her Keyblade, Xion proves adept at handling it, being able to fight with it using her right or left hand. Her boss battle depicts her using many powerful melee attacks she seemed to have inherited from Sora. She also uses light much more often during her boss fight, such as creating spiraling circles of Light that suck in the player, leaving them vulnerable to one of Xion's aforementioned physical attacks. She can also use a light spell similar to Ragnarok and can envelop her weapon in Light to make her other attacks even more powerful. Xion's Limit Break in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is Black Hole. During Black Hole, Xion rapidly darts around the field with her Keyblade enveloped in light, slashing away at enemies with great strength. In her Final Limit, she summons four thin pillars of light to quickly move in straight paths to ends of the field, dealing heavy damage to any enemies in their path. As a replica intended to siphon Roxas's powers, Xion can wield the Keyblade. She wields her weapon fairly skillfully, being able to disarm Axel. Because Xion siphons her power from Roxas, whose powers come from Sora, they can both wield his Kingdom Key, even at the same time. Because their weapons are the same, the Gears produce the same forms when applied to either Keyblade.[10] In her boss fight, her weapons resemble aspects from the world they are currently in. Her first form in Wonderland uses a large sword with a similar design to the Card Soldiers that protect the Queen, her second form in Halloween Town uses a pincer-like weapon with monstrous decorations, and her third form in Agrabah uses four giant Scimitars. In her final form, she wields two giant Keyblade-like weapons that resemble the Nobody sigil. When Xion runs with her Keyblade, she grasps it with two hands instead of slinging it over her shoulder as Roxas does. This is identical to how Sora runs with his Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. In Kingdom Hearts III, Xion wields the Replica Kingdom Key. Xion also wields Lunatic while she is copying Saïx's berserker state.]

Rodion [Primary franchise: Project Moon, Limbus Company] [Appearance: Rodion is a tall and well-built woman with a pale complexion. She has thick, bushy hip-length brown hair and deep blue eyes, and a beauty mark under her right eye. She is always shown wearing orange eyeshadow and light pink lipstick. On her left breast is a tattoo of what appears to be an anatomically correct heart split by an axe. She wears the standard Limbus Company uniform, a white dress shirt, black slacks, vest and a coat that is somewhat frayed at the bottom marked with 'RODYA' and NO.9', though she forgoes the tie and leaves her collar hanging loosely. Rodion also dons a thin black choker. Rodion wields an axe with 'РАСКО́Л' spelled out on the head.] [Personality: Rodion is a highly amiable woman who makes a consistent effort to be on friendly terms with the people around her. She presents herself as brazenly fun-loving, laid-back, and playful, with a preference for casual speech and nicknames. Rodya always makes an effort to be talkative and keep the mood up, both on the bus and during missions, cementing herself as one of the Sinners Dante looks to for help with breaking the ice. While her cheeky remarks and teasing occasionally come off as babying to the other members of the group, her nature makes it clear that she isn't acting out of ill will. Oftentimes, her fun antics are motivated by a particularly strong dislike of boredom and time-wasting. Having been afforded few luxuries in her youth, Rodya highly values access to food, free time, and relaxation. This is often displayed in an unabashed love for eating and money. Rodion is open about a belief that wealth is the sole deciding factor in one's quality of life, and determined to take advantage of everything she's offered as an employee of Limbus Company, without shame. These ideas also reflect Rodya's disillusionment with the world. Though she follows her own moral code, Rodya tends to expect little from other people and has a strong understanding of just how many systems abuse innocent citizens with each passing day. Rodya possesses a more solemn side shaped by her impoverished upbringing in the Backstreets. Having experienced the plights of the City's lower class first-hand, she's often the first to comment on the wealth-based inequalities and tragedies encountered by the LCB. In times like these, Rodya grows more deadpan and determined to be heard out, as her words become uncharacteristically dour. However, Rodya seems uncomfortable acting too serious; as a result, she rarely commits to her frustration in these moments, instead opting to break up the discussion with an excuse and a forced laugh more reminiscent of her usual demeanor. In reality, Rodya's easygoing disposition is largely an exaggeration meant to help her avoid confronting her truer feelings. Her attitude changes strikingly when discussing or reminded of her past: faltering, growing cold, or acknowledging as little of it as possible. The events of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time, in which she joins an investigation in an attempt to prove herself, characterize her as largely insecure and unsatisfied deep down. She is also shown to grow deeply judgemental as a means of reassuring herself about her own self worth. Additionally, these bouts of insecurity tend to lead Rodya to act impulsively. The tragedy in her hometown was a direct result of her unwillingness to wait for Sonya's "right moment", wanting to take matters into her own hands and affirm that she's special. Yet despite some self-centeredness, Rodion is characterized as a genuinely kind and empathetic individual, filled with honest feelings of compassion and desperation to help her people. She is also a common comfort for the other members of the LCB, quick to ask if someone is okay or reassure them in a difficult situation. And while acclimated to the misfortune of the City, Rodya still maintains a dislike for unnecessary violence and shows a sympathetic heart. Unable to move on just yet, Rodya continues to struggle to let go of the guilt and regrets tying herself to her past—failing to recognize her present value as a highly worthy member of the LCB, relied on and appreciated for who she already is.] [Abilities • Skills: Rodion's main weapon is her battle axe 'РАСКО́Л'. Her E.G.O is "What is Cast". This E.G.O takes the shape of Rodion's usual axe, however it is cryogenically frozen, and imbued with ice, it seems.]
