[[folder:Rust Hetfield]]
!!Rusty "Rust" Hetfield

--> ''"Welcome to The Duct Tape, I'm Rust Hetfield. Anything in particu- Why '''[[MaleGaze Hello!]]'''"''

-> '''[=User=]:''' Blue Paladin

The first OC to be introduced to the site, and by far the most active. A British rocker who wields the armagus-infused guitar "Halford", he works at a mechanic's shop called "The Duct Tape", near the monorail in Wadatsumi. He is also a dropout from the NOL Academy, having attended for a year alongside several friends. However, he never once interacted with any of the canon characters during his stay.

After a while, he was given his parent's guitar, [[MeaningfulName The Halford]] to use as a weapon. He took apprenticeship under an engineer who taught him how to fix things, and that the NOL oppresses lower-class people. Taking these lessons to heart, he set out to help people, the common man and upper-class alike.

!!!Tropes associated with Rust:
* AWorldwidePunomenon: A lot of Rust's intro quotes can fall under this. Especially vs Desmond.
* BerserkButton: Don't call him Rusty.
** DEAR CHRIST, do '''not''' damage the Death Leopard!
* BigBrotherInstinct: Try threatening Nu. Rust knows she outclasses him majorly, but that doesn't stop him threatening [[BadAss Jin Kisaragi]] after him and Nu have a fight.
* CaptainErsatz: To Eddie Riggs of BrutalLegend
* CantCatchUp: His attitude to the rest of the OC's and Canon cast.
* ChaoticGood: He dislikes the NOL's treatment of lower classes.
* ChivalrousPervert: Big time. There is not one female he hasn't checked out.
* CoolCar: The Death Leopard. Black Hotrod with sub woofers that boost the Halford's attacks.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Applying the Halford to the flaming head of The Laser Bear Lord Fraulein and knocking it the fuck out.
* DishingOutDirt: One half of the Halford's moveset.
* TheEngineer
* GeniusDitz: Mechanic beyond peer. Can fix planes solo. CANNOT work a computer. Once set one on fire trying to play Minesweeper.
* TheHero: The closest the [=OCs=] have to an active protagonist.
* HeroicRROD: Been going around the past few topics with a severely injured arm, [[spoiler: thanks to Nisa shocking him to near unconsciousness when she went all UnstoppableRage on his ass]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* {{Jobber}}: His win-loss record is not the greatest. And most of his wins were with help.
* MeaningfulName: Really? A rocker with the last name of [[{{Metallica}} Hetfield]] and the guitar is named [[Music/JudasPriest The Halford?]]
* MrFixit
* PlayingWithFire: One half of the Halford's moveset
* ThePowerOfRock: His fighting style
* RunningGag: Rust Lose. Also, his shop getting destroyed in some way, be it fire, energy swords or the Tsubakizord
* ShockwaveStomp: The Earthshaker
* SirSwearsALot
* TheSnarkKnight: Oddly enough, not Rust himself. More his inner monologue which at times is like a different person!

[[folder:Nisa Rembrandt]]
!!Nisa Rembrandt

--> ''This is my first time working with you anyway, so I got an excuse to give you a discount...Unless you wanna take me out for a drink. Wouldn't complain about that!''

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=GyppyGirl2021=]

A girl whose main weapons are a pair of gloves called Thunderflower that allow her to "draw" ink onto surfaces and charge electricity through the designs. She lives happily with her parents whilst also bringing in income in the form of her electrician side job, as being able to produce wires whenever you feel like it is a massive help. Currently living in Wadatsumi.

!!!Tropes associated with Nisa:
* ChaoticGood
* FieryRedhead: What she was conceptually based off of.
* FragileSpeedster
* GlassCannon
* InstantRunes
* MundaneUtility: Anything she draws can be charged with electricity. She uses it to make wires for her job and fixes stuff like games consoles.
* [[spoiler: PsychoElectro: DO NOT PISS HER OFF]]
* ShockAndAwe: Electric currents running through her ink designs.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Between her and Ayva, she's the tomboy.
* TrickedOutGloves: Thunderflower

[[folder:Ayva Cadell]]
!!Ayva Cadell

--> ''"Fuwaaah! Okay, fine! But, you hafta` promise you won't tell anyone!"''

-> '''[=User=]:''' Litchi Faye-Ling

A former member of the N.O.L, Ayva was the person who used to draw the Wanted posters for the criminals the N.O.L wanted gone. She was the one behind the infamous Ragna Wanted poster that looked nothing like the rebel. Anxious about the plans of the N.O.L, she decided to leave before getting too wrapped up in the business. Her main weapons are two chakrams, that she can control with a slight amount of telekinesis.

!!!Tropes associated with Ayva:
* AfraidOfBlood
* ApologisesALot
* BadassAdorable
* DeadlyDisc: Her chakrams, Euphoria and Anguish.
* DualWielding: Again, the chakrams.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Big time. Not one object of clothing is the same on either side.
* IdiotHair
* {{Moe}}: Very.
* NamedWeapons: Anguish and Euphoria
* Neutral Good
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]
* ProperlyParanoid: Is EXTREMELY anxious about leaving the N.O.L. But with good reason, considering the group's activities as of late.
* ShrinkingViolet: Oh yeah, big time
* TerribleArtist: She loves to draw but... needs to practice.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Nisa's Tomboy.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Ayva's original design had her with purple hair, and a bright yellow jumpsuit of sorts. It very much resembled [[CowboyBebop Faye Valentine]].

[[folder:Epsilon]]
!!Zacharias "Epsilon" Lorenz

--> ''"I've got this voice in my head, Maxwell's Demon and it's compelling me to follow random paths to try and find Terumi because order and balance and other stupid shit."''

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=LornMind=]

Former Sector Seven scientist, of low rank and interested in the powers of entropy to be used as a weapon and tool. Eventually creates a special capacitor that he implants into his back that permits him to manipulate the changes in entropy in local areas around his hands and feet, and for short times, his body. The transformation destroys the (admittedly) small lab he was in, effectively firing him from Sector Seven. Now broke and jobless, Zacharias must contend with a new moniker, "Epsilon" and being forced (more or less) to restore the balance of entropy to the world because a voice in his head, Maxwell's Demon, demands it. He sounds crazy to almost anyone who talks to him, and for good reason. The will to balance has some adverse side effects.

!!!Tropes associated with Epsilon:
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy
* CrazyAwesome
* DisintegratorRay: Closest thing to describe his power of entropy.
* MadScientist
* MotorMouth
* {{Technobabble}}
* ThoseTwoGuys: Epsilon and Maxwell can be seen as this.
* TrueNeutral

[[folder:Belioz Mutsuki]]
!!Belioz Mutsuki

--> ''"And now, with a flick of my baton, this play ends! And with it, the ruin of the Yayoi name!"''

-> '''[=User=]:''' Velvien

The head of the N.O.L. Duodecim's second family. He is a politician first and foremost. In that sense, he is out for the people. On the flip side, his main goal is increasing his own power and sway within the N.O.L. He originated from Velvien's fanfiction "At Fates' Hands" as one of the main villains, almost in the league of Terumi and Relius. He fights with a baton which allows him control over rocks and minerals.

!!!Tropes associated with Belioz:
* AffablyEvil: He's very cordial and polite, often looking out for the common man. However, this is mainly to gain political support.
* ArchEnemy: To Tsubaki, and her family as a whole.
* AristocratsAreEvil
* BadassMustache
* BigBadWannabe
* DastardlyWhiplash: His appearance (thin black moustache especially) and villain status exude this.
* DishingOutDirt: Many of his attacks involve crystals jutting out of the ground or flying at his opponent.
* FauxAffablyEvil
* FrenchJerk: If one were to go by his name, at least.
* LawfulEvil
* ManipulativeBastard: One of his very first actions is setting Tsubaki to follow Ragna's group...in the hopes that her being seen aiding Ragna will damage the Yayoi family.
* MeaningfulName: "Belioz" is both a french, aristocratic-sounding name (a reference to the composer Hector Berlioz) and a pun on "Belial", one of the four crown princes of hell
* PragmaticVillainy: He's kind to the people...to win their support as a politician, among other things.
* ShoutOut: The name of his drive is "Earth Waker". Sound [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker familiar]]?
** The drive itself operates similar to a [[{{Castlevania}} Belmont whip]]
* SissyVillain
* SmugSnake
* WickedCultured
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jagd]]
!!Jagd Asimov Metschulin

--> ''"Jagd. Jarrod poor anglicized translation for those uncomfortable with alveolar ungent syllables."''

-> '''[=User=]:''' Gleam

Jagd is quite possibly the most literal minded character thus far. Working as a Problem Solver, he's normally hired for assasinations and other dirty work. He has no real history, but is brutally honest, almost like he doesn't know how to actually lie. He's often compared to [[{{Rainman}} Rainman]] in terms of his personality, but there is often subtle humour disguised behind the intelligent yet stoic StraightMan

!!!Tropes associated with Jagd:
* CrazyAwesome
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Whilst having an arm nearly ripped off, shooting a flare gun point blank into the eye of The Flaming Laser Bear Lord Fraulein and knocking it the fuck out.
* HiddenDepths: Looks like a hulking brute. Has intelligence that rivals most scientists.
* HiddenWeapons: He hides A LOT of weapons on his person. How many? Enough that you can hear them rattling.
* RatedMForManly
* RoboSpeak: Sort of. It's complicated.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: So. Very. Much.
* TheStraightMan: Could give most poker players a run for their money.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Orpheus Xenos]]
!!Orpheus Xenos

--> ''"Fear is my ally but not my friend. It allows me to create better order, which is what I live for."''

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=GenocidalWurmpleArakune=]

An infamous member of the NOL's Zero Squadron called "The Doppleganger". Orpheus is covered head to toe in his uniform and long cloak, and wears his armagus, Catoptr, as a mask. Catoptr is a mirror that allows Orpheus to copy another person's face, voice, and one of their skills or weapons. For example, if he fights Nu, he can copy her swords, her wingblades, her Gravity Seeds, or her Act Parser attacks, but ONLY one at a time. To copy a skill, he must block with his Athena special move or hit them with the command grab Chaos. He can only switch skills if he uses either of the two again. His devotion to the NOL is unwavering.

!!!Tropes associated with Orpheus:
* AntiMagic: Orpheus's "Athena" Special Attack is a barrier that nullifies any attack that hits it. Also "scans" the enemy, allowing Orpheus to copy one of the offender's skills.
* AntiVillain
* BlackCloak: Inverted! Because he is in the Zero Squadron, he wears a white cloak, and he's not evil, just on the "bad" side because he works for what he believes is the greater good– Order.
* DoppelgangerAttack: Praxidike and Tartarus.
* DittoFighter: More or less the concept behind Orpheus.
* DogPileOfDoom: Orpheus's Astral, Tartarus. A seemingly endless swarm of Orpheus clones attack the enemy, but the don't do any damage. However, they CAN hold them down, which is good for Orpheus, who is hidden in the crowd, aiming a bow and arrow at the foe.
* TheFaceless: His face is completely covered up by Catoptr. The only face that can really be called his is '''everybody else's'''.
* HeroAntagonist: Seems to be this way so far, in a way similar to Hakumen.
* HiddenWeapons: He hides a steel pole and six javelins under his cloak.
* LawfulNeutral: Very loyal to the NOL.
* NobleDemon: Just read Curtain Call. All compliments, all the way.
* TheSpook: Most people, NOL officers included, are terrified of this guy. Not much is known about him.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: When Catoptr backfires.

[[folder:Hizashi Kagehide]]
!!Hizashi Kagehide

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=Musashi=]

An Ikarugan, and the son of a powerful, famous fighter named [[TheDanza Musashi]]. He lived with his mother, older brother, and younger sister. Eventually, the Ikaruga war happened while Hizashi was still young, and Hizashi's family ended up serving in one way or another. His father died in the war and was used for experimentation by the NOL. Musashi took up his father's greatsword and his fallen brother's katana, and swore to avenge them, defeating evil wherever he can.

!!!Tropes associated with Hizashi:
* AngstWhatAngst: Several family members dead. Experimentation on him by scientists. Angst? None.
* AnimeHair
* {{BFS}}
* ButtMonkey: In "A Sticky Situation", he is the target of the OC {{Troll Minori}}
* CounterAttack: Kenbu
* HeroesPreferSwords
* KatanasAreJustBetter

* {{Samurai}}
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Due to Azure power, he can become a completely different person.

[[folder:Desmond Lang]]
!!Desmond Lang

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=Smitejr=]

--> ''"Why did you try to run? Now you have to give me a reason why I shouldn't just kill you.And this time, promising me dinner isn't gonna cut it."''

An assassin born in Ikaruga, Lang served during the Ikaruga civil war as a political assassin, determined to silence the NOL from the inside. Sadly, the war ended too quickly for his skills to matter much, and he ended up having to find another job. He became a vigilante at first, but became disgusted with his trade over time and became a freelance mercenary instead, fighting for his mission to restore Ikaruga and rid society of criminals.

!!!Tropes associated with Lang:

* BadassLongRobe: Goes complete with being InTheHood
* BigEater: A RequiredSecondaryPower of his signature ability, being an
** IntangibleMan: Able to phase out temporarily, allowing him to dash in for a kill. Also handy for going through pesky walls hiding a mark.
* CaptainErsatz: InTheHood? Check. BadassLongcoat? Check. ProfessionalKiller? Check. Yep, he's certainly not like [[{{AssassinsCreed}} Ezio Auditore.]] No resemblance at all.
* TheCynic
* DeadpanSnarker: His usual speech pattern.
* FragileSpeedster
* HitmanWithAHeart
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not much of a jerk, just [[{{DeadpanSnarker}} Sarcastic]] and [[{{KnightInSourArmor}} Cynical]].
* KnightInSourArmor
* LawfulNeutral
* ProfessionalKiller: What he does to make ends meet. Prefers to be...
** TheCowl: AntiHero variant.

[[folder: Erk Urial]]
!!Erk Urial

--> ''"You must realize that there are no such things as "Friends" in this game of life. Everyone is simply out for themselves! Take us, for example. I, Erk Urial, LIVE for the hunt along with my faithful partner, Vistolos!''

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=3To3dSl0th=]

A Captain of the NOL's Air Corps division, he excels at archery-based combat, especially in regards to crossbows. He is a cheerful and over-the-top, yet ruthless and sadistic individual who achieved his rank through combat ability. This impressed the NOL's science division, who wished to try a new weapon on a top-performing Air Corps member. By Urial's consent, they operated on his left arm, and replaced part of it with an armagus-infused clockwork crossbow. Together with his half-mechanical owl familiar Vistolos, he hunts many a bounty.

!!!Tropes associated with Urial:

* TheArcher: Fairly obvious this.
* AristocratsAreEvil
* ArmCannon: Or in this case, Arm Crossbow.
* AxCrazy
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He has a code of honour but it's so warped that it's almost incomprehensible.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* EgomaniacHunter
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Is reluctant to hurt children and "Non-game animals", as he puts it.
* EvilIsHammy
* FauxAffablyEvil
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle to help him aim.
* TheHunter: Again, obvious
* MeaningfulName: Erk Urial is a play on the word "Mercurial", which means “having qualities of eloquence, ingenuity, or thievishness”. Ingenuity aside, he has all of these traits down, though not to the extent that he would like. Also, "Mercurial" can mean "Fiery", which can describe Urial's mood swings at times.
** "Vistolos" is a combination of the latin words "Vita" and "Stolos". "Vita" translates into "Life"-emphasizing his half-live, half-mechanical nature, while "Stolos" is the Latin word for "Stolas", an owl demon from the Ars Goetia.
* NeutralEvil: Serves the NOL, but is ultimately out to hunt and kill for sport. Borders on LawfulEvil.
* NiceHat: A green, pointed wizard-esque hat with coniferous branches protruding from it.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Type 2, by far. He's kind to animals and nature in general, but dislikes most people.
* PetTheDog: He clearly cares for his pet owl and he never wants to hunt kids. It's just the rest of him is so bad...
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Doesn't nearly do as well of it as Jagd does. Leading to...
** PerfectlyCromulentWord
* WouldntHurtAChild
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: He peppers his speech with quite a bit of this.

[[folder:Wes Schtein]]
!!Wes Schtein

--> ''"If you come in without struggle, I promise I won't hurt you. And who knows? If you're willing to reform, you may be given a pardon!"''

--> ''Frustrated: "I mean, REALLY! Some people can be so INCONSIDERATE!"''

-> '''[=User=]:''' Shuji Nonohana

A Corporal of the NOL's Ars Magi, known as the "Top NOL Negotiator". He is socially awkward, kind-hearted, and idealistic to a fault, to the point of trying to negotiate with criminals in order to bring about peace. Whenever he's forced to fight, he arms himself with a mid-length spear in conjunction with water-based ars.

!!!Tropes associated with Wes:

* AbusiveParents: His father was said to be quite mean, although not to [[ArchnemesisDad Relius]] levels.
* {{Adorkable}}
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's said to get quite angry when pushed to his limits.
* BladeOnAStick
* ButtMonkey
* GoodIsDumb
* IdiotHero
* MakingASplash
* TheMario: Albeit one with bad defense.
* NiceGuy
* StupidGood
* TokenGoodTeammate: For the NOL.
* WideEyedIdealist
* TheWoobie: Is said to have no friends, and most other characters consider his ideals to be laughable.

[[folder:Korbin Faust]]
!!Korbin Faust

-> '''[=User=]:''' Claret

Korbin is a former warrant officer of the NOL, who resigned and got an honorable discharge at the age of 18, after seeing "The true nature of the NOL". He now works as a Freelancer and works with his uncle, Eric Faust.

!!!Tropes associated with Korbin:

* AntiHero: Type III or IV.
* BladeOnAStick: Like Wes, he uses a lance. However, this one is named Longinus, and uses powers more along the lines of...
** CastingAShadow
* CaptainErsatz: Some have said that Korbin's style of fighting strongly resembles [[FateStayNight Lancer]].
* KnightTemplar
* MoralDissonance: He brutally murdered three criminals in a busy marketplace during the day, thinking he was applying justice.
* OnlySaneMan: Or at least he THINKS he is this. His actions often contrast with this.
* RunningGag: He carries heavy boxes everywhere...for some reason and bumps into people constantly.
* SirSwearsALot: Despite what his profile says, he often curses.
* WhatTheHellHero: Rust and several others have called him out on the above.

[[folder:Micah Cholin]]
!!Micah Cholin

--> ''"I'm Micah Cholin, owner and proprietor of this shop. You need a gun, we probably got something for you - and if not, we'll build it."''

-> '''[=User=]:''' vicroc4

A Wolf beastkin and gunsmith. Owns and manages a store in Wadatsumi called [=SureShot=] Firearms & Gunsmith. He's a bit suspicious of the NOL's motives, but hasn't yet felt the need to actively move against them - especially not when they provide a significant portion of his revenue.

!!!Tropes associated with Micah:

* LittleBitBeastly: He's a beastkin, complete with UnusualEars and tail.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: His Ars Armagus: Fornax. An [[{{BFG}} eight-gauge]] semiautomatic shotgun that charges its shot, which usually leads to...
** StuffBlowingUp as the charge is released when the first pellet hits.
* GunNut: Comes with his job.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Saiga Yrog]]
!!Saiga Yrog

-> '''[=User=]:''' [=MaesLawliet=]

Saiga Yrog is a tree. But not just any tree-A seithr-mutated oak tree, who's roots became legs, and his branches into arms. As his name may imply, he's an old, sagely figure, keeping watch over the forest as much as he can.

!!!Tropes associated with Saiga:

* AscendedMeme: Maes would often joke about making an OC that was simply...a tree. He then ran with it, and made it into an actual OC.
* CaptainErsatz: To Treebeard of LordOfTheRings fame, along with Ents in general.
* FriendToAllChildren
* FriendToAllLivingThings
* GoodCounterpart: To Erk Urial, in a sense. They both have nature-based motifs to them, and are associated with trees. However, while Urial's hat looks like a small Coniferous tree, Saiga is an oak tree, which is deciduous. Also, while Urial has little faith in humans and hunts them with sadistic glee, Saiga is a kind figure who can tolerate humanity, so long as they aren't trying to directly harm nature.
* GreenThumb: His attacks often sprout plants.
* MightyGlacier: His size and mobility are very much akin to Tager's.
* NatureHero
* OlderAndWiser
* PunnyName: Saiga's last name "Yrog" is roughly "Gary" spelt backwards. Take note of what kind of tree Saiga is, and how that could apply to the name {{Pokemon "Gary"}}.
* WhenTreesAttack
[[/folder]]

* ShoutOut: The name of his drive is "Earth Waker". Sound [[TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker familiar]]?

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: His Ars Armagus: Fornax. An [[{{BFG}} eight-gauge]] semiautomatic shotgun that charges its shot with explosive energy.

* HollywoodScribbling: She loves to draw but... [[UnderStatement needs to practice.]]

A Wolf beastkin and gunsmith. He's suspiscious of the NOL's motives, but otherwise neutral.

* LittleBitBeastly
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter

* Technobabble

* DisintergratorRay: Closest thing to describe his power of entropy.
