History Characters / Blame

* GoodScarsEvilScars: At some point in the story, he gets a small scar in the left side of his mouth that doesn't detours his attractiveness. It becomes one of his most distinctive traits and he's portrayed with the scar in most of the official material of the manga.

* InconsistentSpelling: When it was first published in Japan, the manga had the English {{Tagline}} "Adventure-Seeker Killy in the Cyber-Dungeon Quest!", establishing "Killy" as the spelling of his name. However, when the manga was reissued in the Master Edition compilation, the official English translation spells his name as "Kyrii", and the anime's foreign-language dubs pronounce his name with an R sound. On the other hand, the anime's subtitles continue to spell his name as "Killy".

* PrettyBoy: In the movie and in the recent style of Nihei, Killy appears as a serious pretty boy. Is implied he's attractive enough to make Zuru develop a crush on him, even.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:We never know what happened to her, it can be assumed she died due to her situation, but given the sheer vastness of The City it is hard to tell.]]

* MercyKill: Does this to a woman that was bound to a cloning machine (implied for a very long period of time) in the 36th chapter of the manga. Considering the woman was suffering a living Hell, creating clones akin to wild animals non-stop, Killy likely did this to put the poor woman out of her misery.

* NotSoStoic: Even the normally stoic and emontionless Killy has moments where he let's some emotion slip, such as mourning dead people or putting some out of their misery in an act of mercy. Especially evident in the first chapters, where Killy is shown to be more expressive and concerned about the people he meets in his journey.

* VirtualGhost: Kind of, she seems to be one to Dhomochevsky but Killy and Cibo can hear her too [[spoiler:and her ghost form seems to physically enter Dhomochevsky's body when she tries to power him up.]] Wether all this is literal or just a visual representation of her presence is up for debate.

* OverlyLongName: In a series where most characters have OnlyOneName, Davine having both a middle and last name stands out, possibly to make him seem more [[WickedCultured refined compared to other characters in a mostly techno-primitive setting]]. [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Then again, her name is sometimes romanized as]] "Davinelulinvega".

A massive edifice or possibly vehicle separate from the megastructure. It is inhabited by humans known only as the Planters, and is the origin of the splinter group, the Electrofishers. It is controlled by a Central AI, and has a collective of thirteen other AIs; one controlling each cave.

* ArcHero: Of NOiSE.

Also known as the Authority, the Governing Authority, or the Administration depending on the translation. Another program similar in nature to the Safeguard, but with different and conflicting goals and more benign in nature. Their main goal is to stop the chaotic growth of the city, employing Killy's services in order to fulfill this by retrieving the Net Terminal Genes, assisting him over the course of the story in the form of agents created by the program.
