History Characters / MetallicRouge

A photographer that Rouge and Naomi meet on Mars. She is the de facto leader of the Immortal Nine and their plans for a Nean revolution.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Has this after she and the others in the final episode learn that Roy had deceived them by manipulating the Immortal Nine's memories and actions to help with his master plan to make Neans turn against humanity, which prompts Silvia to try and kill Roy in anger.

* SayMyName: Alice yells Silvia's name in agony after the latter was killed by a possessed Cyan controlled by Roy's consciousness.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: She suffers this when Cyan, whose body was possessed by Roy's consciousness, severs both of her arms and grabs her by the head to [[AndShowItToYou brutally rip out and crush Jill's ID, killing her]].

Twins that Rouge and Naomi meet on a cruise ship heading to Earth; in reality, they are two personalities inhabiting the same body.

* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: They're explicitly not fans of Alter's methods, and for their part just try to stay off everyone's radars.
* SharingABody: Two minds, one body. Noid compares it to Dissociative Identity Disorder.
* SiblingYinYang: Aes is a bookish people person who doesn't like confrontation, while Alice is assertive, prickly, and judgmental, especially of people she thinks her brother thinks too highly of. Since she's the more forceful of the two, Alice is generally in charge of their Aerkos form.

* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Tries getting Rouge to join the rebellion, despite knowing full well Rouge has already killed members of the Nine, as a means to try and get her ID. She simply tries to kill Rouge for it upon realizing that the latter refuses to cooperate.

* LivingMacGuffin: Her body houses an ID that the Immortal Nine wants so they can start their Nean revolution.

* WhipItGood: One of her primary weapons is a pair of wrist-mounted energy whips.

!! Aes / Alice / "Double-Headed Aerkos"

Twins that Rouge and Naomi meet on a cruise ship heading to Earth; in reality, they are two personalities inhabiting the same body.

* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Dark skin, white hair, Rouge's handler, [[spoiler:Ochrona's Divine Facilitator, and the first Nean to have been created]].

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:While her public identity is 21, Naomi was actually built by the Zenoah shortly after FirstContact 40 years ago.]]

* RoboticReveal: [[spoiler: She casually drops her status as the first Nean created onto Rouge when meeting up with the Visitors. Naturally, Rouge is both shocked and confused by this revelation.]]

* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Dark skin, white hair, Rouge's handler, [[spoiler:Ochrona's Divine Facilitator]].

* {{Manchild}}: Even accounting for Neans being BornAsAnAdult, Dr. Junghardt noted Rouge's mental and emotional development was significantly slower than the norm. At ten [[YoungerThanTheyLook chronological]] years old, Rouge is as socially awkward, impressionable, naive, occasionally bratty, and hard pressed to grasp philosophical concepts as most human ten year olds would be.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She likes chocolate.

* SiblingYinYang: Aes is a bookish people person who doesn't like confrontation, while Alice is assertive, prickly. and judgmental, especially of people she thinks her brother thinks too highly of. Since she's the more forceful of the two, Alice is generally in charge of their Aerkos form.

* BigBrotherWorship: She hangs onto her "older brother" Gene's every word.

* KidHero: She [[YoungerThanTheyLook doesn't look it]], but she's only ten years old. Her grasp of morality is thus very simplistic, doing what the main adults in her life, Gene and Naomi, tell her to do because they're 'good guys' and the Immortal Nine, especially her father's murderer Giallon, are 'bad guys'. While she can occasionally be a selfish brat, Rouge is generally a heroic individual.
* {{Manchild}}: A lot of Rouge's more socially-awkward actions, impressionable nature, and difficulty with philosophical concepts make a ''ton'' of sense once it's revealed she's only ten years old. [[spoiler:Even accounting for Neans being BornAsAnAdult, her mental development has been noted to be slower than her peers]].
* RedIsHeroic: Her armor is red. She even has the word "red" in her name (twice if you count her given name being French for red).

* UnskilledButStrong: Fitting for a child, she has Naomi do most of the strategizing for her when they take on Viola, and in every other fight she tends to win by just attacking her target until it dies. Most of her [[WeakButSkilled opponents have a clever gimmick at their disposal to even the odds but lack Rouge's sheer power by comparison,]] though Rouge will typically hit on some strategic idea by herself if she fights for long enough, as seen with her fight with Giallon in episode 6. [[spoiler:Dr. Junghardt noted during her early development that her physical prowess far outstripped her mental development.]]

Siblings that Rouge meets on a cruise ship heading to Earth; in reality, they are two personalities inhabiting the same body.

* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: They're explicitly not fans of Jill and Joker's more extreme methods.
* SplitPersonality: Two minds, one body. Noid explicitly calls it Dissociative Identity Disorder.

* KidHero: She [[YoungerThanTheyLook doesn't look it]], but she's only ten years old. Her grasp of morality is thus very simplistic, doing what the main adults in her life, Gene and Naomi, tell her to do because they're 'good guys' and the Immortal Nine, especially her father's murderer Giallo, are 'bad guys'. While she can occasionally be a selfish brat, Rouge is generally a heroic individual.

Rouge's partner.

* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Dark skin, white hair, Rouge's handler, [[spoiler:double agent for Ochrona]].

[[folder:Hell Giallo]]

* {{Irony}}: He's beaten by Rouge in their second fight after criticizing her for her simplistic AttackAttackAttack approach to combat when Rouge notices Giallo's ''own'' critical dependency on hitting people from behind with his chakrams and exploits it by anticipating his FinishingMove and directing it back at him, taking out his legs and sending him crashing to earth.
* LogicalWeakness: He can take any form he wants and perfectly mimic a person's voice, but his weight remains consistent across every form - 82.2 kilos. This means that when he isn't actively murdering people, he'll take a form that conforms to his weight to better pass off as who he tries to appear to be. Naomi exploits this by getting him alone with a group of people with his exact weight, before Rouge then simply decks everyone in the room. (Not planned by Naomi but ultimately still able to flush Giallo out.) Since Giallo is a powerful robot, anyone who can take a punch from Rouge ''must'' be him, which does manage to expose him even after he tries to get clever and become a dog.

* SquishyWizard: Much of Giallo's potential comes from his tricky approach to combat and assassinating people. When forced into a traditional fight, he's almost purely a LongRangeFighter who uses his chakrams to confuse and confound his foes. Once he runs out of ways to hide and keep his distance, however, he goes down fairly easily; he's one of a small number of neans shown to actually react to being shot by a normal gun, even if he can recover from the attack quickly.
* UncertainDoom: Some characters react as if Giallo's re-entry actually killed him following his conflict with Rouge, though there's otherwise nothing to suggest he actually died, especially considering he's a machine. [[spoiler:It turns out that he survived, but just barely.]]

A doctor who works with Neans. Secretly also Giallo's subordinate.

* StrawNihilist: Afdal is a very ''driven'' nihilist. He actively goes around killing people because he's been ordered to do so, but also because he believes no one is free and only the only 'freedom' in the world comes from the sweet release of death.
