The unlockable party members, guest star party members, and NPC students in Roleplay/PowerAcademy.

Though the game focuses on a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters small...-ish]] [[PlayerParty group of heroes]], Power Academy is inhabited by many students beyond that group. They may get a line here and there, but for the most part they are just extras. The named characters that come after this section are the exception, though.

* BetaCouple: A few generic couples occasionally show up. [[YaoiGuys Same-sex]] [[SchoolgirlLesbians couples]] [[EveryoneIsBi are also a possibility.]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: During her sidequest chain, the party will never kill Dahlia's targets in combat. She does it herself.

* CombatStilettos
* ContraltoOfDanger: She tends to speak in a very subdued contralto. However, her voice gradually takes a noticeably higher pitch as she and the player character grow closer as friends.
* CoolSword: A razor-thin sword hidden in a parasol.

* GuestStarPartyMember: For certain missions after her sidequest chain is done.

* LonelyRichKid

[[folder:Drake Plains]]
!Drake Plains
->'''Power:''' Telekinesis

The quiet and stoic Drake is Helena Mychro's cousin; the two have been bitter enemies for a long time. Both were made prisoners by Jonathan Knight in his research company as test subjects when they accidentally wandered too close to one of his company's facilities. On the night of Helena's mass breakout, he escaped, taking Sam with him. Drake also happens to be a direct descendant of Helena's ancestor, Andrew Plains; as a result, [[spoiler:he possesses the family line's demon blood]].

He's a psychic, but unlike Sam, his powers are focused more on defense and crowd control. The two are already boyfriends at the start of the game, but are at a very rocky point in their relationship; the player can persuade them to stay together or consider breaking things off.

* AccidentalPervert
* AttractiveBentGender: Looks exactly like Helena when gender-flipped.
* BarrierWarrior: Has the ability to generate psychic shields to protect himself and/or others.
* BiTheWay: Though he leans mainly towards men. As Talan admits, "Given Drake's wandering eye, I'm pretty sure he plays for both teams."
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Admits finding [[GenkiGirl Layla]] very attractive--even in front of his boyfriend Sam.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* MindOverMatter
* MysticalWhiteHair
* OneHeadTaller: Than Sam.

* RescueRomance: How he and Sam met.
** BodyguardCrush
* TheQuietOne: He doesn't speak often, but when he does, it's definitely something important.
* SlapSlapKiss: At the start of the game, he and Sam constantly bicker with each other. If the player persuades them to stay together, they become more LikeAnOldMarriedCouple.
* TheStoic
* StoneWall
* SupportPartyMember: His abilities are primarily support-based in nature, such as [[BarrierWarrior psychic shields]] and status effects/debuffs.
* SupremeChef: He loves cooking and is great at it; he and Sam even assist Lightning in cooking a romantic dinner for Talan.

[[folder:Jana "Hydro" Hartmann]]
!Jana "Hydro" Hartmann [[spoiler:(aka Subject 002)]]
->'''Power:''' [[MakingASplash Water]]

Blaze/Emily's twin sister (hair and powers aside), Jana is a graceful but timid young woman; threaten her or her friends, however, and she will unleash her water powers. Orphaned at a young age, she and Emily have spent their lives wandering from town to town, trying to get by; they eventually found their way to Power Academy. Notably, she bears a strong resemblance to Layla, and claims that the three of them are actually triplets.

[[spoiler:She's not that far off. In reality, their minds were just altered to make them think they had a family; they are actually clones of the deceased Layla Ulrich, made by Vilhelm as super-soldiers. Thanks to Eve Ulrich, the two, along with Lightning, escaped his control before they could be used for evil purposes. Her memories were altered so she couldn't remember anything about her past, believing she and Blaze lived a happy life beforehand.]]

Although she has her fair share of powerful water-based attacks (including being able to form a water trident in her hand), Jana is essentially a support party member, focusing mainly on healing and removing status effects.

* AppropriatedAppellation: [[spoiler:It's a name she used for a fake ID, to throw off anyone who might pursue her or Blaze.]]
* ArtificialHuman
* CloningBlues
* CovertPervert
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Joins the party after she and Blaze are defeated in a mini-boss fight early on.

* [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl]]: To Blaze's Tomboy.
* GrewASpine: Her character arc revolves around her learning to choose her own path, not necessarily following Blaze all the time.
* HeelFaceTurn: Once she and Blaze learn about their past.
* LipstickLesbian
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: A mutual case with Blaze/Emily.
* LovableJock: A star member of the school's swim team, [[MakingASplash naturally.]]
* MakingASplash
* PolarOppositeTwins: With Blaze; [[spoiler:though maybe not quite "sisters" in a traditional sense, they can be considered as such, since they were based off the same template.]]
* PunchClockVillain: Most of the time she just goes along with whatever Blaze wants to do.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Blaze's Red.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl
* TransparentCloset: Blaze even points out to Hydro that she's deep in the closet--and she still denies it. She eventually comes out, though.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: She wears an elegant one-piece swimsuit under her dress. It even doubles as an alternate costume for her.
** LeotardOfPower
* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:She is physically and mentally 17, but was created only 7 years prior.]]

[[folder:Kane Nye]]
!Kane Nye
->'''Power:''' Lycanthropy

Kane is a third generation werewolf, whose family line has found a way to manipulate their curse. They can become wolves at any time, at the price of turning into monstrous Lycans on full moons. He rescued Sai from a rogue vampire, and the two hit it off ever since. In the months since they started traveling together, they secretly married each other.

In addition to great agility and strength, and the superhuman senses that come with being a werewolf, Kane becomes more powerful during the night (including said Lycan transformation during full moons).

* BewareTheNiceOnes
* ChivalrousPervert
* FieryRedhead
* GutturalGrowler
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: He risks turning into a monstrous lycan on a full moon.
* [[spoiler:MyGreatestFailure: His failure to save his clan.]]

* OfficialCouple: With Sai.
** HappilyMarried
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent
* PunnyName: For "canine".
* RescueRomance: How he and Sai met.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Usually, the only thing he wears from the waist up is a spiked collar and leash.
* WildHair
* WolverineClaws: As a NaturalWeapon.

[[folder:Lei-Lani Lychee]]
!Lei-Lani Lychee
->'''Power:''' [[AntiMagic Leeches/negates the powers of other superhumans nearby]]

Lei-Lani was taken from her home in Hawaii at a young age after her parents mysteriously died, brought to the mainland by Normco. Her original ability was [[MakeMeWannaShout an ultrasonic voice]], but an accident in one of the testing labs shattered some containers. She was drenched in experimental chemicals from the containers which altered her abilities; she gained the ability to negate powers, but lost her voice (she can still talk, but barely).

Lei-Lani takes it upon herself to end fights with her power, being a walking deadzone for superpowers. Can be romanced by a male player character.

* ActualPacifist
* AntiMagic: Notably, she can also increase others' power as well as negating it.
* AntiVillain
* BareYourMidriff: Her Normco jumpsuit exposes her midriff, an exception to the [[IncrediblyLamePun norm]].
* CustomUniformOfSexy: All of Team TTAR's jumpsuits are customized, but Lei-Lani's, which exposes her midriff, stands out in this regard.

* HairDecorations: Her hair is tied together with string and ribbons.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Her original ability, before an accident at a Normco facility while training altered her powers.
* ParentalAbandonment: Of the "dead parents" variety.

* TheQuietOne: She speaks very rarely, but when she does, she makes it count.
* RapunzelHair
* ShrinkingViolet
* SupportPartyMember
* TokenGoodTeammate: For Team TTAR.

* GravityMaster
* HumanoidAbomination
* MoralityChain
* PunchClockVillain
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Prexcilia's Red.

[[folder:Sai Nye]]
!Sai Nye
->'''Power:''' Vampirism-related abilities

Sai met Kane the day she was bitten; he saved her from the rogue vampire that attacked her, and she vowed to make it up to him. [[RescueRomance He asked her on a date.]] Over time, as they traveled together, the two grew increasingly closer...eventually getting married in secret. The two continue to travel together, eventually coming to the Academy.

She possesses supernatural agility, grace, and strength, at the price of [[WeakenedByTheLight needing constant shade from the sun]] and animal blood once a month.

* BadassLongRobe
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* BoobsOfSteel
* CuteLittleFangs: An aversion of [[FangsAreEvil the norm]] for vampires.

* MiniDressOfPower
* OfCorsetsSexy: Some of her outfits incorporate this.
* OfficialCouple: With Kane.
** HappilyMarried
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Bears some similarities to the vampires seen in ''RosarioToVampire'', having enhanced strength and speed, but she is susceptible to sunlight. She can also inject some of her vampire blood into a person's vein to give them a temporary HealingFactor. On that note, she is reluctant to drink human blood, except when forced to in order to save a life. In ''Global Civil War'', after Dahlia is mortally wounded by Wardson, Sai temporarily makes her a half-vampire to grant her the healing factor and save her life.
* PerkyGoth
* RavenHairIvorySkin / EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A combination of the two. She's deathly pale (being a vampire and all), but is very beautiful nonetheless.
* RescueRomance: Kane rescued her from an evil vampire the day she was bitten; things went from there.
* SuperStrength
* VampiresAreSexGods: At least, Kane seems to think so.
* VegetarianVampire
* WeakenedByTheLight: She is greatly weakened in sunlight; in one instance, she was exposed for too long, and reluctantly had to drink some of Kane's blood in order to recover. During the night and in the shadows, however, she's a force to be reckoned with.
* WeaksauceWeakness: In the game, as above, she is greatly weakened during fights that take place during the daytime.

[[folder:Shaun [=MacReady=]]]
!Shaun [=MacReady=]
->'''Power:''' Photographic memory

A skilled young hacker, Shaun is one of the newer students at the Academy. Early on in the story, he is sent off on a mission to investigate Equinox's plans...and is found dead, believed to have been killed by Alexei. [[SacrificialLamb Don't get too attached.]]

* ATasteOfPower: He has a few of Talan and Isaac's higher-level abilities, but is a GlassCannon to compensate.
* ApocalypticLog: He has left a series of hidden messages for the party, where he details what he's found out during his undercover missions. Especially applies to his last message to the party, where he's surrounded by [[spoiler:Vilhelm's forces (quickly closing in) and about to be dragged off to be turned into a cyborg]].
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:As a cyborg.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite his perceived naivete, he appears to be very competent, even getting sent off on a mission on his own--sadly, that last part doesn't do him much good. [[spoiler:Especially given that he looked at the wrong file at the wrong time.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:During his search through Vilhelm's mainframe, he stumbled across files detailing Jonathan and Terminus' plans, as well as the latter's [[AchillesHeel one weakness.]]]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Subject 16]].
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Averted. Shaun's death serves as an example to the rest of the heroes, and a constant reminder that they could lose their lives in the fight against evil.
* TheGenericGuy: Even by his own admission, he kind of blends into a crowd, especially compared to [[CastOfSnowflakes everyone else]].
* GlassCannon
* GuestStarPartyMember: For a couple of battles.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:The reason why Terminus has him killed? He learns the truth about her early on.]]
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower
* HeroOfAnotherStory: A story that gets cut short, but his own story nonetheless.
* PosthumousCharacter: He appears very briefly during the prologue (as part of a tutorial fight), then disappears once he goes on his mission. After that, it's all posthumous audio files.
* SacrificialLamb: His death demonstrates to the party that the missions they go on are, in fact, life-threatening, and the same thing could happen to them.
* TheSmartGuy: So much so that [[spoiler:during his final mission, he basically]] ''[[spoiler:figures out the entire plot.]]'' [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it's what gets him killed.]]
* SuspectIsHatless: As a RunningGag, anyone who tries to physically describe him is simply at a loss for words. [[RuleOfFunny He's just that bland appearance-wise.]]

* MasterChef: He loves cooking and is great at it; he and Sam even assist Lightning in cooking a romantic dinner for Talan.

Prexcilia has a very unusual fighting style; she relies upon a d20, rolled for a random effect. The amount of damage she does is based on what she rolls.

* {{Asexual}}: Given her relationship with Helena in the forum, Prexy would appear to be StraightGay at first glance. It's more likely, [[HumanoidAbomination given how alien her origins are,]] that she's asexual; she's not attracted to men or women ''specifically,'' but is still capable of falling in love.

* UnholyMatrimony: With the evil Helena in the forum.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: While she is unfamiliar with human emotion, she is receptive of Helena's feelings for her.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not so much evil as selfish. Additionally, his remorse over being abandoned by his potential allies, along with his genuinely friendly and remorseful reunion with Skill, suggests a softer side.
* LethalChef: His list of deadly poisons includes his tofu recipe.

* TookALevelInKindness: Over the course of both the roleplay and the game.

* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: His idea of winning a fencing match in the Swords Skill class is to sweep the leg.

* EvilGloating: He loves rubbing his enemy's failures and shortcomings in their faces.
** EvilIsPetty / {{Troll}}
* FantasticRacism: He ''loathes'' {{Muggles}}, as a result of [[FreudianExcuse being ostracized for his psychic abilities throughout his life]].
** {{Hypocrite}}: He accuses humanity of demonizing mutantkind and psychics alike and insists he's above them, but is perfectly willing to go on murderous rampages against those he deems responsible for their suffering--[[NotSoDifferent not helping to prove his point.]]

[[folder:Kylie Devries]]
!Kylie [=DeVries=]
->'''Power:''' Magical affinity

Kylie is an experienced young prodigy of a stage magician. Generally, she mainly performs typical magic tricks--making objects disappear into thin air, etc. However, it's not a show; she does this with actual magic (not that her well-paying audiences really need to know, according to her), having descended from a family of mages. One day, due to a mysterious dimensional shift while practicing a routine, she has suddenly found herself ending up in Power Academy; she decided to just go with it and join the school, perfecting her magic along the way.

In combat, Kylie uses a lot of debuffing and crowd control spells, and has a few powerful offense attacks, but is rather on the [[SquishyWizard squishy]] side.

* BlackMagicianGirl
* CanonImmigrant: In-universe; in the forum, she accidentally switched places with the original version of the character when her bio was dramatically revised.

* [[HotWitch Hot Wi--...Caster]]
* IResembleThatRemark: When addressing a group of magic-users (Simon, Gill and Kylie), Alderon refers to them as "inexperienced neanderthals." Kylie just calls him out for calling her a neanderthal.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: She's sexually attracted to women, but is willing to make exceptions for people who significantly engage her on an intellectual level.
* InsistentTerminology / WitchWithACapitalB: Resents being called a witch for the latter reason, favoring the term "caster" instead.
* InstantRunes
* InsufferableGenius: She tends to let her newfound fame and magical expertise go to her head.
** SmallNameBigEgo
* LipstickLesbian: Downplayed; though feminine, she doesn't fit 100% into either of the "femme" or "butch" extremes.
* MagicalGirlWarrior
* MagiciansAreWizards: She mainly performs [[WhatHaveWeEar basic magic tricks]]; [[ExploitedTrope however, she does it all with actual magic,]] believing that her audience doesn't really need to know the difference.
** MundaneUtility
* PerkyGoth
* ShrinkingViolet: Downplayed; while she does tend to keep to herself, she is very friendly.
* SquishyWizard
* StealthHiBye: One of her spells allows her to do this, phasing in and out of the physical plane to surprise people for kicks.
* {{Troll}}: Loves using her magic to mess with people, simply because she can.

* ClingyJealousGirl: ''Very'' protective of Jackal. When she first encounters [[StraightGay Kylie,]] she assumes she's out to seduce him.
** ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend

* MsFanservice: To a lesser extent than the others. She is, however, the most fanservicey of the "elemental triplets;" she's [[BoobsOfSteel well-endowed]], [[WhoWearsShortShorts often wears short shorts]], and knows how to rock a bikini.

* PerkyFemaleMinion: She and Blaze essentially become Kuri's teammates/henchwomen for a time when they team up against Lightning.

[[folder:Adrian Mustaine]]
!Adrian Mustaine
->'''Power:''' None; relies on concocted poisons and potions

A self-styled "agent of chaos," Adrian came to Paranorm to perfect his skills for his calling in life: becoming a badass criminal mastermind. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain He's just not very good at it...at all.]] Many of his schemes either fall completely flat or are often inadvertently undone by his own actions. Even so, he presents a credible (if minor) threat in his sidequest chain. [[spoiler:In the end, though, he doesn't]] ''[[spoiler:really]]'' [[spoiler:want to be a criminal mastermind; he just wants to be badass and for people to take him seriously.]] When the party defeats him, they have the option of either sending him off to jail or recruiting him as a student at the Academy (and a future GuestStarPartyMember).

While not a superhuman per se, Adrian [[MasterPoisoner specializes in concocting various poisons, potions, etc.]] to assist him in combat.

* AntiHero: He would be an AntiVillain if [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain he didn't completely fail at it.]]
* BadassNormal
* TheBarnum
* ButtMonkey

* CasanovaWannabe: He hits on nearly every female party member.
* DeadpanSnarker

* DefeatMeansFriendship: In the game's prologue, he challenges the player character to a fight. [[ZeroEffortBoss It completely backfires.]] Later, he can become a GuestStarPartyMember once his sidequest is finished.
* DirtyCoward
* EveryManHasHisPrice: Has the ability to bribe sentient enemies to fight for the party during a battle. This is somewhat PlayedForLaughs in execution, as this requires the player character's money to work...[[RefugeInAudacity so Adrian covertly pickpockets some money off of her/him to do it.]] [[BribeBackfire It can still fail, however.]]
* [[CoatHatMask Hat]] GasMaskLongcoat
* TheHedonist
* HeelFaceTurn: In both the forum and the game, he eventually makes an honest attempt to clean up his act. In the former, it happens when Willow appeals to his conscience.
* [[spoiler:IJustWantToBeBadass: His entire motivation.]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain
* InstantCosplaySurprise: When Alzeri was reenacting a HighFantasy story in his class, Adrian volunteered for a part...and ended up in a princess dress. Notably, he didn't find it ''unwelcome'' per se. Talan has taken to giving him a new nickname as a result: "Princess".
* ItemCaddy: He has to craft items in order to be useful in battle. However, he can carry more items.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not so much evil as selfish. Additionally, his remorse over being abandoned by his potential allies, along with his genuinely friendly and remorseful reunion with Skill, suggests a softer side.
* LethalChef: His list of deadly poisons includes his tofu recipe.

* ZeroEffortBoss: In the fight tutorial. A single well-placed roundhouse is all it takes.

[[folder:Claire Pulsar]]
!Claire Pulsar
->'''Power:''' Plasma Manipulation

Descending from an isolated Native American tribe, Claire was born with the ability to manipulate plasma. She was recruited into an order of elite assassins at a young age, trained to be a powerful and stealthy assassin. In her travels, she encountered Gill; the two often fought, but soon fell in love with each other. On one occasion, though, Gill escaped through a portal; Claire gave chase, but was trapped within a dimensional anomaly. She was eventually freed when Val and Anna stumbled across her during a chase with Fate, and she ended up at Power Academy in the present day.

In combat, beyond using plasma blasts, Claire can manipulate plasma to use as a targeting laser or to clear out the fog of war.

* BadassNative: She avoids [[PositiveDiscrimination the cliches associated]] [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins with the trope,]] however. She is given special treatment not for being Native American, but for her rare plasma powers.

Dahlia is the daughter of Armin Tartakovsky, CEO of the [=BioCorp=] genetic engineering company. She was accidentally exposed to a chemical at a young age that granted her invisibility powers. She appears to be ordinary (as far as young socialites go), but the truth is a bit more complicated than that. [[spoiler:Dahlia is actually Alexei's estranged daughter, given up for adoption when she was an infant. Once she learned the truth about her past, she became horrified to know she was the daughter of what she believed to be [[KnightTemplar a vicious terrorist leader.]]]] As a result, she has dedicated her life to becoming an assassin, [[PayEvilUntoEvil hunting down the worst criminals and those who deserve it.]]

In combat, she prefers to attack from range with her sniper rifle; in close quarters, she can switch to her parasol sword. In both cases, she can temporarily cloak for greater damage.

[[folder:Drake Plains]]
!Drake Plains
->'''Power:''' Telekinesis

The quiet and stoic Drake is Helena Mychro's cousin; the two have been bitter enemies for a long time. Both were made prisoners by Jonathan Knight in his research company as test subjects when they accidentally wandered too close to one of his company's facilities. On the night of Helena's mass breakout, he escaped, taking Sam with him. Drake also happens to be a direct descendant of Helena's ancestor, Andrew Plains; as a result, [[spoiler:he possesses the family line's demon blood]].

He's a psychic, but unlike Sam, his powers are focused more on defense and crowd control. The two are already boyfriends at the start of the game, but are at a very rocky point in their relationship; the player can persuade them to stay together or consider breaking things off.

* AccidentalPervert
* AttractiveBentGender: Looks exactly like Helena when gender-flipped.
* BarrierWarrior: Has the ability to generate psychic shields to protect himself and/or others.
* BiTheWay: Though he leans mainly towards men. As Talan admits, "Given Drake's wandering eye, I'm pretty sure he plays for both teams."
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Admits finding [[GenkiGirl Layla]] very attractive--even in front of his boyfriend Sam.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* MasterChef: He loves cooking and is great at it; he and Sam even assist Lightning in cooking a romantic dinner for Talan.
* MindOverMatter
* MysticalWhiteHair
* OneHeadTaller: Than Sam.
* PerkyGoth
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Sam's Red.
* RescueRomance: How he and Sam met.
** BodyguardCrush
* TheQuietOne: He doesn't speak often, but when he does, it's definitely something important.

* TheStoic
* StoneWall
* SupportPartyMember: His abilities are primarily support-based in nature, such as [[BarrierWarrior psychic shields]] and status effects/debuffs.

[[folder:Kane Nye]]
!Kane Nye
->'''Power:''' Lycanthropy

Kane is a third generation werewolf, whose family line has found a way to manipulate their curse. They can become wolves at any time, at the price of turning into monstrous Lycans on full moons. He rescued Sai from a rogue vampire, and the two hit it off ever since. In the months since they started traveling together, they secretly married each other.

In addition to great agility and strength, and the superhuman senses that come with being a werewolf, Kane becomes more powerful during the night (including said Lycan transformation during full moons).

* BewareTheNiceOnes
* ChivalrousPervert
* FieryRedhead
* GutturalGrowler
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: He risks turning into a monstrous lycan on a full moon.
* [[spoiler:MyGreatestFailure: His failure to save his clan.]]

* TheNoseKnows: As a natural werewolf ability.
* OfficialCouple: With Sai.
** HappilyMarried
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent
* PunnyName: For "canine".

!Sai Nye
->'''Power:''' Vampirism-related abilities

Sai met Kane the day she was bitten; he saved her from the rogue vampire that attacked her, and she vowed to make it up to him. [[RescueRomance He asked her on a date.]] Over time, as they traveled together, the two grew increasingly closer...eventually getting married in secret. The two continue to travel together, eventually coming to the Academy.

She possesses supernatural agility, grace, and strength, at the price of [[WeakenedByTheLight needing constant shade from the sun]] and animal blood once a month.

* BadassAdorable
* BadassLongRobe
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* BoobsOfSteel
* CuteLittleFangs: An aversion of [[FangsAreEvil the norm]] for vampires.
* DarkIsNotEvil

* MiniDressOfPower
* OfCorsetsSexy: Some of her outfits incorporate this.
* OfficialCouple: With Kane.
** HappilyMarried
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Bears some similarities to the vampires seen in ''RosarioToVampire'', having enhanced strength and speed, but she is susceptible to sunlight. She can also inject some of her vampire blood into a person's vein to give them a temporary HealingFactor. On that note, she is reluctant to drink human blood, except when forced to in order to save a life. In ''Global Civil War'', after Dahlia is mortally wounded by Wardson, Sai temporarily makes her a half-vampire to grant her the healing factor and save her life.
* PerkyGoth
* RavenHairIvorySkin / EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A combination of the two. She's deathly pale (being a vampire and all), but is very beautiful nonetheless.
* RescueRomance: Kane rescued her from an evil vampire the day she was bitten; things went from there.
* SuperStrength
* VampiresAreSexGods: At least, Kane seems to think so.
* VegetarianVampire
* WeakenedByTheLight: She is greatly weakened in sunlight; in one instance, she was exposed for too long, and reluctantly had to drink some of Kane's blood in order to recover. During the night and in the shadows, however, she's a force to be reckoned with.
* WeaksauceWeakness: In the game, as above, she is greatly weakened during fights that take place during the daytime.

Kylie is an experienced young prodigy of a stage magician. Generally, she mainly performs typical magic tricks--making objects disappear into thin air, etc. However, it's not a show; she does this with actual magic (not that her well-paying audiences really need to know, according to her), having descended from a family of mages. One day, due to a mysterious dimensional shift while practicing a routine, she has suddenly found herself ending up in Power Academy; she decided to just go with it and join the school, perfecting her magic along the way.

In combat, Kylie uses a lot of debuffing and crowd control spells, and has a few powerful offense attacks, but is rather on the [[SquishyWizard squishy]] side.

[[folder:Drake Plains]]
!Drake Plains
->'''Power:''' Telekinesis

The quiet and stoic Drake is Helena Mychro's cousin; the two have been bitter enemies for a long time. Both were made prisoners by Jonathan Knight in his research company as test subjects when they accidentally wandered too close to one of his company's facilities. On the night of Helena's mass breakout, he escaped, taking Sam with him. Drake also happens to be a direct descendant of Helena's ancestor, Andrew Plains; as a result, [[spoiler:he possesses the family line's demon blood]].

He's a psychic, but unlike Sam, his powers are focused more on defense and crowd control. The two are already boyfriends at the start of the game, but are at a very rocky point in their relationship; the player can persuade them to stay together or consider breaking things off.

* AccidentalPervert
* AttractiveBentGender: Looks exactly like Helena when gender-flipped.
* BarrierWarrior: Has the ability to generate psychic shields to protect himself and/or others.
* BiTheWay: Though he leans mainly towards men. As Talan admits, "Given Drake's wandering eye, I'm pretty sure he plays for both teams."
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Admits finding [[GenkiGirl Layla]] very attractive--even in front of his boyfriend Sam.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy

* SlapSlapKiss: At the start of the game, he and Sam constantly bicker with each other. If the player persuades them to stay together, they become more LikeAnOldMarriedCouple.
* TheStoic
* StoneWall
* SupportPartyMember: His abilities are primarily support-based in nature, such as [[BarrierWarrior psychic shields]] and status effects/debuffs.

!Kane Nye
->'''Power:''' Lycanthropy

Kane is a third generation werewolf, whose family line has found a way to manipulate their curse. They can become wolves at any time, at the price of turning into monstrous Lycans on full moons. He rescued Sai from a rogue vampire, and the two hit it off ever since. In the months since they started traveling together, they secretly married each other.

In addition to great agility and strength, and the superhuman senses that come with being a werewolf, Kane becomes more powerful during the night (including said Lycan transformation during full moons).

Sai met Kane the day she was bitten; he saved her from the rogue vampire that attacked her, and she vowed to make it up to him. [[RescueRomance He asked her on a date.]] Over time, as they traveled together, the two grew increasingly closer...eventually getting married in secret. The two continue to travel together, eventually coming to the Academy.

She possesses supernatural agility, grace, and strength, at the price of [[WeakenedByTheLight needing constant shade from the sun]] and animal blood once a month.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Bears some similarities to the vampires seen in ''RosarioToVampire'', having enhanced strength and speed, but she is susceptible to sunlight. She can also inject some of her vampire blood into a person's vein to give them a temporary HealingFactor. On that note, she is reluctant to drink human blood, except when forced to in order to save a life. In ''Global Civil War'', after Dahlia is mortally wounded by Wardson, Sai temporarily makes her a half-vampire to grant her the healing factor and save her life.
* PerkyGoth
* RavenHairIvorySkin / EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A combination of the two. She's deathly pale (being a vampire and all), but is very beautiful nonetheless.

* VampiresAreSexGods: At least, Kane seems to think so.
* VegetarianVampire

* WeaksauceWeakness: In the game, as above, she is greatly weakened during fights that take place during the daytime.
