* ArcNumber: 8. His ultimate damaging skill fires off every 8 turns, and he wears a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagua bagua]] disk which is actually an octagon. This is because the number 8 is a very auspicious number in Chinese culture where he originates from.

A Transient from Xanadu, a world filled with grand plains, he is adept with the bow and arrow. The wolf king of the plains, Borte Chinoa the Great, and the white doe are the ancestors he is proud to honor. As heir to the leadership of his people, he has been summoned to Tokyo to expand his horizons as well as to build relationships at the Archery club while honing his archery skills. He respects those skilled in archery.

A Transient from the Land of Wa and one of the Hakkenshi, bearing the orb of Courtesy. Masanori is constantly thinking about the decorum that divides man and beast. As such, he is a diligent person who focuses on history, literature, and psychology in his attempts to learn about it. It's said that those who come in contact with him have their perspectives up to that point jolted in an instant. In some neighborhoods, he gets tremendous support as a mentalist. He is also second to none when it comes to tracing the thoughts of victims and assailants of crime scenes. Many in the police force believe it's as if he were possessed by the spirits of the dead. Masanori himself would say it's just insufficient to the literary talent he desires. Masanori may be born a dogman, but he was raised and abused by a monster cat. Due to this he has a bit of an identity crisis and spends every day affirming that he is a dog. Today is another day that he spends looking for a certain something that will not change even if the values of the world suddenly flip around.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case the {{Bookworm}} Inumura Daikaku.

A Transient from the world of Hourai and a duelist on the lookout for games where people bet "the things most important to themselves." He is also known as a streamer of a stock market speculating video channel that boasts an enormous number of followers. He alone has survived through fluctuating stock market prices when his fellow financiers have crumbled. He speaks as though he knows the future, and there are many who look up to his string of victories' great fortune. He bets with enough money to flip the world on its head while gaining support with his spendthrift ways. Fuxi is a recognized authority on games with any kind of premise and information. He normally has a mild mannered yet gentlemanly personality, but there are times when he has a dangerous look in his eyes that could curse the world. These days he is someone who is approaching the unadulterated original meaning of a revolution. He is a dragon who dearly treasures the blood sister he used to have and highly, devotedly, and INTENSELY adores her. He deeply empathizes with those who are tenacious when it comes to love.

The trio of guildmasters assigned to the Three True Guilds. They are in truth a set of artificial geniuses, clones of the three greatest minds in the Game Masters, each named after 3 of the greatest science-fiction literature writers, [[Creator/IsaacAsimov Isaac Asimov]], [[Creator/RobertAHeinlein Robert Heinlein]], and [[Creator/ArthurCClarke Arthur Clarke]]. All three and their back-ups were created in a series of inhumane and horrific experiments aimed at fusing humans with sacred artifacts in produce subjects with computational powers on par with the greatest supercomputers.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: The kids were created in a lab, had artificial Pillars forcibly grafted into them, made to undertake horrific experiments and explicitly treated as tools by the creator rather than people. Their emotions and sense of empathy were also neutered by the researchers in order to make them more ''objective''. In fact, one of the criteria to "graduate" from the program was to demonstrate that they were pitiless creatures of logic and it's highly implied that many of the clones did not make it.

* EvilGenius: They're smarter than supercomputers, and have little morality, such as Curren's abusive treatment toward Breke.
* ExpendableClone: Duo note that all of the clones, even the Prime Geniuses are considered expandable by the Game's Masterminds. That's why they even have back-ups to begin with; in this case, Duo was to serve as a replacement in case any of the Prime Geniuses could no longer do their job.
* LackOfEmpathy: All of the Prime Geniuses apparently lost their sense of empathy to the experiments conducted on them, which was to ensure that they would faithfully and objectively record the data of the Game. Downplayed and possibly subverted for Duo. While most of his empathy is gone and he can only muster forth the barest sense of pity, he still know right from wrong and is still helping others out of genuine kindness.

* PuppetKing: The Geniuses may be guildmasters, but it done solely so that the Game Masters can keep an eye of the World Representatives and don't do anything that breaks the rules of the game. Michel even says that Curren is just a figure head.
* WorldsSmartestMan: Each of them are this, being clones based on greatest minds in science-fiction, and posses computational powers rivaling the greatest supercomputers.
* YouAreNumberSix: Each of the Geniuses's are "Plan-A/B/C" of those who manipulate the game. Duo and Shuichi are also like them, but only Duo was a success as they had believed that he lacked a sense of empathy like his Genius siblings.

Powerful Transients within the game that are chosen by their system to represent the highest power in their world; be it through strength, faith, love, connection, or other concepts. They are different from a world's pillars. In some way or form, the Representatives or someone connected to them are the ones to banish the Exiles. Most of these Representatives make up the Three True Guilds that are aware of the time loops and seek to use the protagonist for their own agenda. Currently, 15 of the 23 Representatives have been revealed:

Most of these Representatives make up the Three True Guilds that are aware of the time loops and seek to use the protagonist for their own agenda. Currently, 15 of the 23 Representatives have been revealed:



* ArcVillain: The Representatives are the main antagonists of Book 2, with their cease fire now over, and going on an all out war for the Protagonist. However, while they play a part with the Exiles that make up the Protagonist, it's the [[GreaterScopeVillain Game Masters who run the show]].
* EnemyCivilWar: Since the Game is a Winner-Takes-All situation, most of the Representatives will readily backstab one another if the opportunity arise. In fact, this was basically how the early loops were played out, with all the Reps gunning for the Protagonist from the get-go or just trying to killing each other in order to lower the competition.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Perhaps a truly horrifying fact is that, despite everything the Reps preach and done. ''They all love us from the bottom of their hearts!'' If they didn't, then they wouldn't have answered the summoning to Tokyo to begin with. Unfortunately, the love they hold for the Player have driven them to do truly [[LoveMakesYouEvil heinous things]] to the Tokyo residences.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Cupid serves as the odd man to the rest of the Representatives due to the fact that he wasn't involved with exile of Eurynome, and acts as the familiar for Shinya. He's a proxy for Zeus, who is unable to join due to Perun's existence.

* {{Foil}}: To Horkeukamui obviously. Both are wolf men who took people in to raise heroes to defend their realms only for them to die, and both have ice related abilities. Where Horkeukamui only took one person at a time, typically children who had no famly or loved ones, Volkh took children en masse. And where Horkeukamui is shown to have doubts and regrets about his role and ideals on his own, but no clue how to think differently, Volkh has no regrets even though he can't see the faults in his own logic.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In chapter 9 he soundly defeats Horkeukamui, one of few characters who can use both reflect and nullify debuff. Volkh deals double damage to any foe with one of those and quadruple to those with both.

* ShoutOut: His character and design evoke inspiration from ''Franchise/YuGiOh''. He's described as a duelist, and his Sacred Artifact looks like an ancient prototype of Kaiba's first duel disk, and is worn in the same manner as a modern one. Personality-wise, he combined elements of both Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba, being a master of games with a sadistic streak like ''Season 0'' and Manga Yami, and like Kaiba, rose to the position of a great business mogul through stocks and ownerships, along with having a borderline possessive relationship with his sibling. Being a powerful dragon also helps adds to thematic parallel between him and Kaiba.

Added DiffLines:

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Fuxi brings a rather unique skillset to the game - he is an entirely idle support who does not want to move himself, and most notably permanently weakens the entire enemy board at each phase start, but only as long as they remain out of range of his large Obstruct field. The defense down on non-obstructed enemies far outweighs the effects of Obstruct, so he generally wants to have an ally move him to the bottom of the board and stay there for the entirety of combat. On vertical and large boards, this position will mean only one enemy can be safe in his Obstruct range, but that enemy also ends up in his single square Possession range. Additionally, Fuxi constantly supplies three buffs for his allies at a large range, but each buff reaches a different range and requires thoughtful positioning.

Guild Master of the aptly named Warmongers, a guild comprised of politicians and militarists, who was initially dispatched from the Game Masters, a guild operating out of the Tower of Babel. Born a human, although extensive surgery and modifications have rendered Bertro's body almost entirely mechanical. Bertro has been programmed to focus primarily on recording the actions of his fellow guild members, and as such, rarely gets involved in the conflicts they instigate. He firmly believes that those who can make war and humor coexist are truly human, and has an extreme fondness for both topics. Possessed of a strong desire to destroy the moon, Bertro inherently respects those with sufficient power to perform such a deed. He has a tendency to slip in Russian phrases when he gets worked up. Furthermore, Bertro tends to gain the sympathy of those who, like him, have had to endure being modified by the hands of others.

This Transient from the world of El Dorado is one of the leaders of the Warmongers, the guild controlling West Tokyo. His luchadores, who have dedicated themselves to his worship back in their home world, are never far from the vanguard in battles against other guilds. Although he always seems in high spirits, he is also calm and collected. He maintains a fervent belief in the act of sacrificing one's body to war for the sake of the world. When his home world was created, he first lost his right leg, followed soon by almost all of the rest of his body. Because of this, his apparent body now is nothing but a false image reflected in his Mirrors, and he can change it at will. He also enjoys altering his shape depending on the circumstances, transforming into various forms to keep his opponents guessing. As he is skilled at night warfare, he often takes the form of a nocturnal spider, although the evident enjoyment he finds in this tends to confuse those of his subordinates whom he has turned unwillingly into spiders, who don't see the attraction. He has a hard time with opponents that don't rely on sight, as his tricks will not work on them.

* ShockAndAwe: Energy radiates
from the vanguard in battles against other guilds. Although he always seems in high spirits, his being and he is also calm and collected. He maintains a fervent belief implied to possess similar powers as Zeus.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His presence
in the act of sacrificing one's body game is this to war for the sake of the world. When his home world was created, he first lost his right leg, followed soon by almost all of the rest of his body. [[spoiler: Greek Pantheon]]. Because of this, his apparent body now is nothing but a false image reflected in his Mirrors, similar Roles and he can change it at will. He also enjoys altering his shape depending on Rules, [[spoiler: Zeus]] can't directly involve himself in the circumstances, transforming into various forms events of the Game, forcing him to keep his opponents guessing. As he is skilled at night warfare, he often takes use a proxy in the form of a nocturnal spider, although the evident enjoyment he finds in [[spoiler:Cupid]] his stead.
* TopGod: He's

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The body you see in game is just a projection, his real body no longer exists, having been sacrificed via El Dorado's system.
* ArcVillain: Of chapter 10.
* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Balor, [[spoiler:as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives.]]
* BloodKnight: Practically embodies this trope. He enjoys and lives for battle, especially those with prices that cannot be repaid. As his World's faith was built upon warfare, Tezcatlipoca revels in the acts of battle and considers the most brutal forms of combat and war to be the greatest expression of love from one to another.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Tez loves war, especially war that have no obvious victors and is equally deleterious to everyone involved. He and his sibling were born to conflict and it is one of the first things he could remember. To Tezcatlipoca, the act of war and conflict is a way for everyone to connect to one another.
* DramaticIrony: He is one of the Representatives of a guild that pushes for the world of endless war, [[spoiler: but the truth is that he has long since become disillusioned with the philosophy following the banishment of his younger brother Quetzalcoatl from his world, and his true wish is much more simple: he just wants a chance to see his younger brother again once more. Notably, the other Representatives took note of this, and branded him as one of the least trustworthy of them after Surtr and Azathoth.]]
* TheGeneralissimo: He has a military commander's uniform that looks like the textbook example of a South American dictator. This is only fitting as he is a South American god.
* MagicMirror: His artifact is the smoking mirror. It can be used to implant parts of himself into others, like with Hombretigre, project his body as it once was and, as it is a world pillar, implant memories pertaining to battle and conflict. This mirror motif even [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration carries over to gameplay]]: He can reflect debuff, inflict possession causing his enemies to attack the other way, and disorient his enemies with darkness and dazzle to reduce their fighting capabilities.
* MentalWorld: Doubles as MirrorWorld. He can bring his victim's consciousness into his mirror and recreate scenes using the memories of everyone involved, albeit the recreations are noticably more dreary and monochromatic than the memories they are based on.
* NecessarilyEvil: How he sees his warmongering and part of the reason behind his WarIsGlorious mindset. Tezcatlipoca and his brothers, particularly Quetzacoatal, formed the world of El Dorado by waging war against and defeating the primordial monster Cipactli. Tezcatlipoca saw that the world began with war and sacrifice, so he concluded that only war and sacrifice could sustain his world. This led him to wage war against his own brothers in hopes that such conflict would provide the faith needed to keep El Dorado alive.
* PantheraAwesome: Tezcatlipoca originally looked like a muscular winged black-panther before sacrificing his form for the sake of El Dorado. The black panther is of course, the most recognized animal symbol for his real life counterpart.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Under normal circumstance, the True Three Guilds are not allowed to make the move in the game until a certain amount of time has passed and conditions are fulfilled, in order to avoid getting the protagonist killed too early and maximizing their control over the game and their win rate. Tezcatlipoca, being who he is, purposely allowed the protagonist, R-19, and Jacob to come into the Penitentia Academy in order to fulfill his own goal of battling the protagonist directly [[spoiler:and fulfilling his wish of seeing Quetzalcoatl within them again.]]
* SuperDeformed: The first character in the game to have a chibi portrait. Cait Sith may be to blame.
* SuperSmoke: As a consequence of having sacrificed his body, Tezcatlipoca's true form is actually a formless mass of smoke that resides within his mirror artifact. Like his fragment in Hombre, this form grants Tez immunity to conventional weaponry and allows him to telepathically attack his enemies' minds and corrupt their memories.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Thanks to no longer possessing a corporeal form, Tezcatlipoca can now take on any number of forms that suits him, though he typically returns to his original form for convenience.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Had this when his brother left their world, and scoured all traces of their presence from it. As an ultimate act of sacrifice he should have been happy... yet all he felt was sadness.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:On a receiving end of this from the four of the Warmongers' Representatives toward the end of chapter 10, once it becomes clear to them that Tez is actually not sharing their ideal of world of endless war.]]

A Transient originating from the world of El Dorado. While a student by day, outside of school hours he works in professional wrestling, where he plays an up-and-coming Técnico specializing in the Mexican style of Lucha Libre. He is known in the ring for his energetic demeanor and crowd-pleasing performances: his matches often see him bloodied and almost beaten by unscrupulous foes who exploit his every weakness, only for him to suddenly seize victory in a dramatic turnaround, and this has gained him great popularity. To fly higher and farther than anybody else is his dream, and he wishes only to spend the rest of his days in the ring. He struggles most with getting along with others who live their lives on the edge, perhaps because of how much they mirror himself.

He is known in the ring for his energetic demeanor hand has snow floating in it, and crowd-pleasing performances: his matches often see him bloodied charge skill uses ice in its animation.
* TheDragon: He seems to be this to Perun.
* FashionVictimVillain: His outfit is a skin tight leotard, under a set of armor with a tabard, one pauldron
and almost beaten by unscrupulous foes boots that look like he's just stepped in wet concrete. Needless to say, it all clashes.
* {{Foil}}: To Horkeukamui obviously. Both are wolf men
who exploit his every weakness, took people in to raise heroes to defend their realms only for them to die, and both have ice related abilities. Where Horkeukamui only took one person at a time, typically children who had no famly or loved ones, Volkh took children en masse. And where Horkeukamui is shown to have doubts and regrets about his role and ideals on his own, but no clue how to think differently, Volkh has no regrets even though he can't see the faults in his own logic.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In chapter 9 he soundly defeats Horkeukamui, one of few characters who can use both reflect and nullify debuff. Volkh deals double damage to any foe with one of those and quadruple to those with both.
* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler: He seemingly summoned the spirits of all Kamui's deceased students and sicced them on
him to suddenly seize victory in capture him.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Zig-zaged. He appears completely wolf like, but is described as being born of humans. In addition he has the title of Werewolf Prince.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His distaste for Horkeukamui comes from his intense disagreement for placing the onus of heroism on
a dramatic turnaround, and single child, knowing that heroes always die early. Volkh instead advocates that all children should be raised as heroes. His profile notes that he cannot see the logical failures of this has gained him great popularity. To fly higher viewpoint.

* AffablyEvil: Tigre is genuinely devoted to his craft and role as the “face” or heroic wrestler and is overall a very jovial and inviting person. Unfortunately, he is also actively trying to recruit other students, the Protagonist in particular, into a guild that revels in constant battles.
* BigEntrance: After fighting the wrestler mobs, Hombre Tigre makes his grand entrance, complete with adoring fans, colored smoke, strobe lights, theme music, and an announcer hyping up his entry.
* BloodKnight: Downplayed. Tigre and his troops aren’t as violent as the traditional example. Rather they just enjoy the fight and tumble in general. However, this trope was likely played straight in Tigre’s first life back in his home world where bloody wars and ritual sacrifices were constantly being enacted as a form of worship to Tezcatlipoca.

* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: The jagged crescent-shaped mark over his left pectoral serves as proof of his allegiances to Tezcatlipoca through the sacrifice of his heart and thus, his status as a Nagual.
* CombatTentacles: The rubber his Sacred Artifact is made out of can be shot out to grab an unsuspecting foe and for his ultimate finisher, Tigre can unleash an omnidirectional blast of the stuff to entangle all of his enemies.

He is able to unleash this fragment from within himself similar to astral projection and allow it to fight for him, at the cost of incapacitating his body while the fragment is out. As for the fragment itself, not only does it knows all of Tigre’s moves, it’s also [[MadeOfAir made]] entirely out of smoke and can attack its victims memories.]]
* InstantArmor: His entire outfit is made the rubber from his Sacred Artifact, making physical attacks a bad idea.
* ALizardNamedLiz: The game refers to him by his stage name, which translates from Spanish to mean "weretiger".
* {{Kayfabe}}: The entire fight against Hombre Tigre is set up as a professional wrestling match from start to finish, despite the battle supposedly being 100% serious. Hombre Tigre and the naguals don't break character once until the Protagonist arrives on the scene.
* NowBuyTheMerchandise: Hombre Tigre stops to hawk Hombre Tigre and Warmonger merchandise in the middle of the fight to the crowd, despite the fact that they're in a workshop ''with no spectators around''.
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler: Since the fragment of Tezcatlipoca works as his heart, any time it leaves his body, Hombre Tigre quite literally dies. Upon reentry of the body, it does appear that there is a lot of effort made to resuscitate Hombre Tigre. However, as soon as he's back up, he doesn't appear to suffer very much from this status.]]

In return, Hombre Tigre has dedicated himself to eternal battle in Tezcatlipoca's name, as he's become a tool for Tezacatlipoca, he, himself, is a nagual.]]
* TheatricsOfPain: Hombre Tigre and the wrestlers do this just about every time they're being hit, selling pain at a level that even Arc finds ridiculous for the amount of damage they were dishing out.
* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler: The victim of an unwanted one via Breke who had installed Azathoth’s throne and was temporarily granted the Elder God’s [[SpaceMaster powers]], allowing the wolf to instantly banish Tigre and all of his jaguar troops from the Crafter’s guild.]]

An expert in poisons and chemical substances and possessor of a cheerful and inquisitive disposition, this Transients excels in academics and has strong leadership skills. However, he has a bad habit of immediately putting things in his mouth to see if they are poisonous. Maybe because of this, he can often be seen panting and groaning with stomach pain, never learning from his mistakes. He has a passion for farming, and while his plot is small, he finds a great deal of use in it as an experimental farm to grow a variety of strange creations. He is affiliated with the Warmongers, the guild controlling Western Tokyo, where he works as a medic as well as a member of their frontline chemical and biological warfare unit. He cannot help but worry for those who unwittingly hurt themselves, and if their wounds are psychological and thus beyond his ministrations, he worries for them all the more. Conversely, he feels an aversion to those who gladly cause themselves pain; likes, in this case, repel.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Steals a kiss on the cheek from the Protagonist during the ''Virtual Summer Memory'' event with a well-timed distraction.
* PoisonousPerson: He's ingested so many toxins that he can sweat it out with no harm ''to himself''. Others might not be so lucky, especially since one of his first abilities in-game is to poison himself and his ''allies''. Poison is his favorite research topic, but he veers into TooDumbToLive territory by taking mouthfuls of new substances to see if they're poisonous or toxic as his ''first'' step in research.

* RealityEnsues: As a result of his biology, Shennong is unable to use the pool or maintain extended physical contact with anyone (lest he accidentally poisons them from his sweat).

* EvilLaugh: His main screen lines include an insane laugh, as well as his Charge Attack lines.
* ShoutOut: His character and design evoke inspiration from ''Franchise/YuGiOh''. He's described as a duelist, and his Sacred Artifact looks like an ancient prototype of Kaiba's first duel disk, and is worn in the same manner as a modern one. Personality-wise, he combined elements of both Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba, being a master of games with a sadistic streak like ''Season 0'' and Manga Yami, and like Kaiba, rose to the position of a great business mogul through stocks and ownerships, along with having a borderline possessive relationship with his sibling. Being a powerful dragon also helps adds to thematic parallel between him and Kaiba.

!!Tanetomo

[[caption-width-right:350:''Assassination Tactician'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/YukoSanpei

A Transient from the Land of Wa. He is a calm strategist and a composed assassin who is seen working for the guild he is a part of, though this is only one facet to him. He's a person with many sides to him, giving eccentric speeches to his surroundings and being famed as a passionate and skillful ritual dancer. These are all components that make up the complex character that is Tanetomo, and those who misread him are prone to meet their doom. Tanetomo specializes in [[ISurrenderSuckers surrendering his leadership]], [[ManipulativeBastard binding the choices of his opponents, and manipulating them into his hands]]. On a tactical level he gets on well with those who treat him as a charming commodity. He holds a mix of pity and sympathy for people who get lost in destructive love.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case the [[DudeLooksLikeALady feminine]] Inusaka Keno.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He's ''pink'', specifically peach. While a pink dog wouldn't be out of place for this game, that every other Hakkenshi has a much more natural fur color for a dog makes him stand out that much more.
* AssassinOutclassin: Proves himself the superior assassin when he effortlessly dispatches the shinobis sent to kill Yasuyori in the past.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Almost literally in this case. Tanetomo's geisha training allows him to craft an elegant and affable persona that hides the inner viciousness swimming just beneath the surface of his personality.
* CombatHaircomb: He can use his hairpins as projectiles with deadly accuracy as demonstrated by his first meeting with Yasuyori.
* CombatHandFan: Swats the protagonist's sword away with a flick of his fan in chpater 11.
* CuteAndPsycho: Tanetomo's demure appearance is contrasted by his cold-blooded and almost casual approach to assassination.
* DeathSeeker: His offer for his victims to kill him are entirely sincere which is implied to be a [[ConditionalPowers condition]] of his artifact's power.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The way Tanetomo reacted to the Protagonist mentioning Yasuyori in Chapter 11. He first goes dead silent before going back to stabbing Ellie, but this time with renewed vigor as he denounces Yasuyori for so easily believing in the lies Tanetomo fed to him or that they ever had a real relationship, platonic or otherwise, to begin and states that he was merely using Yasuyori for his own ends. The whole experience basically looked like a barely contained emotional meltdown from someone who just had a nasty break-up with poor Ellie serving as the punching bag for Tanetomo's rage over Yasuyori leaving him. Tanetomo even tries to rationalize that it was he who had cut ties with Yasuyori, rather than the other way around.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Tanetomo is very [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] in appearance, making him very easy to underestimate, which is a useful trait for an assassin. This is a trait he borrows from the character he's based on.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: He gets these whenever he drops his mask and gets serious.
* DumpedViaTextMessage: Essentially how he felt when Yasuyori left him and returned to Yoyogi Academy, following the events of Chapter 10. Needless to say, Tanetomo did not react too well to the news.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon:
* FlowersOfFemininity: He uses floral pins to hold his hair in place in his student attire, while he wears a floral headband/tiara, with pins tucked into his bun, in his geisha persona. Unsurprisingly, they're not [[HiddenWeapons just]] for decorations.
* FreudianExcuse: Like his novel counterpart, Tanetomo's saw his entire family butchered at a young age and their family treasure stolen. This forced him rely on his beauty to survive and seek out the offenders to avenge his family.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His 4-Star implies that he risks being killed either by the very person he's trying to assassinate as a result of his offer to take his sword and stab him with it always being genuine, or by his artifact's ability as a result of how he holds it.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Yasuyori, although Yasuyori don't seem to view him in the same light.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Kills the shinobis sent to assassinate Yasuyori while they were hidden with just a casual flick of his hair pins.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Very much so.
* {{Keigo}}: Uses a very formal speaking pattern as expected of a person with a geisha background.
* KimonoFanservice: His alternative skin has him wearing a beautiful white and fuchsia floral kimono with his right arm, which bears his peony mark, out of its sleeve.
* PsychoPoodle: He is based on the Papillon or Continental Toy Spaniel dog breed and is extremely cunning.
* RageBreakingPoint: Played for laughs, but Tanetomo kicks and destroyed Hombre's speakers after getting annoyed by the blaring music during the ''Nyah! Happy Illusions'' event.
* RapunzelHair: His sandy hair fall is long enough to reach his knees! When performing as a geisha, he keeps it all in a PrimAndProperBun.
* SchmuckBait: Since his sword Sacred Artifact destroys whoever it's pointed at, he uses it for assassination by convincing his target to kill him with it, offering the handle to the mark while he holds the edge of it. The blade will then kill the person if their hearts are moved by Tanetomo's emotional display.
* TheSmartGuy: The virtue he embodies is ''Wisdom'' and he's an adept strategist for the Warmongers. He has enough tactical prowess to lead a vanguard against the Rule Maker's troops.
* SoftSpokenSadist: He always maintains an eerie composure to his voice even when he's in the middle of torturing someone.
* SwordAndGun: His 4* art depicts him with these, with both of their business ends pointing at him of course in order to activate his sacred artifact's power.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Tanetomo's choice of dress is a nod to his character in the original novel, who disguised himself as a woman in order to avoid suspicion in his quest for vengeance.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Boastful Sergeant'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyotaTakeuchi

A Transient from the Land of Wa and a member of the Yoyogi Academy sumo wrestling club in Shibuya Ward. He values the discipline, order, and hierarchy of being part of an organization, and keeps his personal feelings locked up tight. While some in his club admire these qualities, others find him inflexible and insufferably strait‐laced. He tends to clash most violently with bold, rough individuals. On the other hand, he is weak to overt expressions of kindness and to persuasion, and in his inexperience he is quick to promise marriage to others. He has a habit of scratching at his old wounds, and in his struggles with his memories of the past, he has convinced himself that there is nowhere for him but the battlefield. He deeply respects his school's physician and their tireless efforts to look after his mental health.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case TheBigGuy Inuta Kobungo.
----
* AndThenWhat: As noted in his profile, he constantly worries about how he's going to live outside the battlefield, and arguably why's he's part of the group who seeks eternal battle: If they succeed, he doesn't have to.
* BashBrothers: The virtue held in his orb, ''Brotherhood''.
* DishingOutDirt: As a side effect of using his short sword artifact, he's capable of causing earthquakes when he swings it.
* DogsAreDumb: So far the only example of the Hakkenshi who seemed to be behind the door when their progenitor's intelligence was portioned out.
* {{Fanservice}}: Concerning his birthmark. While every other person known to have one has had it on their arm in some way, Yasuyori's happens to be right on his ''butt cheek''. While this is at least accurate with the character he's based on who had it in the same spot, in Yasuyori's case it's played more for fanservice since he almost only ever wears a mawashi below the waist and thus his buttocks are always uncovered. His 4-Star artwork in particular shows this off quite prominently, depicting a low-angle shot of him performing a sumo squat from behind. Most of his alternate skins are similarly revealing, with only the one version of his Christmas outfit giving him a pair of shorts that properly cover his behind.
* {{Foil}}: To Tajikarao, ability-wise, since both their Sacred Artifacts have the ability to reveal hidden secrets, but he believes it's a power that should be used with caution, while Tajikarao uses his power with reckless abandon if he feels someone is hiding something. This is also the main reason Yasuyori dislikes him.
* FreedomFromChoice: He's so terrified of repeating his past mistakes that he would rather conform and be part of a brutal system then act on his own.
* GoodIsDumb: One of, if not ''the'' most kindhearted of the Warmongers. Also not exactly one of their smartest members.
* HealingFactor: What his Hakkenshi Orb artifact grants him. Given he's CoveredInScars, it makes one wonder how powerful it is... or how bad the injuries that left scars were.
* IAmAMonster: After Tez restored his memories of killing his friends, he believed he was this because he broke his personal promise not to kill on top of killing his friends in previous loops. As a result he left Yoyogi Academy for the Warmongers because he felt they understood what he was going through better than his friends in Yoyogi Academy.
* SexySantaDress: His new Christmas skin is a male version, and comes in two variants - one which sports the classic hat, a pair of trunks, and Santa's coat but [[WalkingShirtlessScene no shirt underneath]], and another which is just the hat and nothing but a ''thong'' to accompany it.
* SumoWrestling: He's part of the sumo club at his school, always wears a mawashi, strikes a sumo pose in his 4-Star variant, and even shouts "DOSUKOI!" in some of his voice clips. Also a trait taken from the character he's based upon.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Evil Eyed King'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/TakayaKuroda

World Representative of Tir na Nog, which plans to achieve eternity through Substitution. At one point in the past, his left eye was fumigated by magical smoke which led to it gaining the power to confer death to those he looks at. This power scatters about death on the battlefield without regards to friend or foe, but by borrowing the power of another this eye can become sealed. He has been through many wars and has gained fame as a general and the proudest king of the giants. However due to a defeat from a certain point in time, all of his dignity was stripped away and his pride was broken, and in the end he became someone who waited for his death penalty to be carried out within prison. He wishes to die on the battlefield as opposed to an execution ground, so he accepted some arrangements to be used by other World Representatives. After being imprisoned in the military academy prison in Nerima, he now works as a combat instructor training death row inmates as soldiers. Balor thinks about the comrades who killed and died on the same battlefields as he has. The lingering smoke there still smoulders in his eyes even now.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Balor's origin is most well known for killing his grandchildren out of fear of dying at one of their hands. This Balor is hinted to actually care for them and accepts that it's natural for the old to perish for the world to remain youthful and full of life.
** Backstory-wise, because the unnamed older siblings of Lugh are AdaptedOut, this version of Balor didn't kill any of his grandchildren.
* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Tezcatlipoca, as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives. As a result of that, by the time that Tezcatlipoca was defeated by the protagonist, Balor himself becomes the next target of both the Representatives and Curran's faction to be removed from the board.
** Fortune Festival expands on this. Balor and Tezcatlipoca broke their code of eternal war as to their true goals do not actually align with theirs.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He has the skill and power to back up his status as king of the giants, from his massive strength to his evil eye Sacred Artifact.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite how tough he is, he really love his grandson.
* DeathSeeker: His only goal at Tokyo is to die at the hands of someone, to the point that he accepts all the imprisonments and being used as a tool by the other Representatives. The Fortune Festival heavily implies that the person is Lugh, his grandson and one of the souls inside the protagonist.
* TheDreaded: Feared even among the Warmongers for his strength and battle mindset that doesn't hold back against anyone, and especially his Evil Eye Sacred Artifact that can kill anyone at his gaze. That said, Balor himself considers Shiva and "another person" to hold said title.
* DramaticIrony: Despite being a member of Warmongers, Fortune Festival reveals that he does not share their goal of world of eternal war at all, as he knows that all don't last for eternity and the old must die by the young's hands in order for the world to go forward, and only cooperates with them to follow his own belief.
* GrandpaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Despite his aging years as "grandpa" (per his profile and legend), he is pretty fit and ripped.
* HeroKiller: He successfully offed the protagonist in one of the previous loops, but the act broke his heart so much that he pretty much resigned himself to deathrow.
* HeelFaceTurn: After much prodding from Tezcatlipoca from multiple past loops, Balor decides to follow his own heart by allying himself with the protagonist, protecting them from Shiva's attack.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the maternal grandfather to one of the protagonist's souls, Lugh.
* MagicEye: His sacred artifact is his crimson left eye, which has the power to instantly kill and destroy almost anything that falls under its gaze.
* MismatchedEyes: One blue, one [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]].
* PowerLimiter: His headband and chains function as one.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The hidden eye's color is red, and the source of his destructive power.
* SelfRestraint: When first meeting Balor, he's shown shackled and chained in the Warmonger prison complex. Unlike the other guild members who first undergo this while being indoctrinated, Balor does this willingly due to his devastating powers.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original myth, Balor was killed by his grandson after having his Evil Eye pierced with a slingshot. This Balor on the other hand, never experienced such event as the one who was banished from their world was instead Lugh.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Though he isn't fond of the fact Tezcatlipoca can read his thought like reading a paper, Balor comments that he will sure to leave flowers on Tez's grave in respect if he happens to kick the bucket before him.
* {{Yandere}}: His love declaration is essentially telling the Protagonist that he will deprive them of their everything and love them until his soul perishes.

!!Daikoku
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_daikoku01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Police Superintendent'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo

In this Tokyo, Daikoku is known as both the police superintendent as well as the principal for the police academy. He is seen by many as someone who combines both dignity and tolerance as a veteran, and he is highly respected. But on the other hand there is another side to him. That would be his being a black market auctioneer who sells precious goods and stray Transients from other worlds on a large scale. He regrets his past where he once ceded his Role to a certain person, so he is unusually obsessed with maintaining his power. He is always wearing white gloves as if to show everyone around his hands aren't dirty. Daikoku is fond of stepping on and rebuking those who have surrendered to him. He also has a businesslike sense of good will towards people who are aware that they have a certain charm in the marketplace.
----
* AnimalMotifs: According to [=RybiOK=], the strand of hair drooping over his forehead is supposed to invoke anglerfish's glowing lure.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The gods that are his origin are on the side of good, if somewhat destructive at time. This Daikoku's morality is, to put it simple, ambiguous.
* AlternateCharacterReading: His current name "Daikoku" (大黒) is an alternate reading of Okuni (大国), his original name. This is, among other things, is unavoidably LostInTranslation.
* BerserkButton: To put it softly, he really loathes Amaterasu.
* BoringButPractical: His 3* version has lower stats, but is still an efficient CP batter, defense buffer, and healer as much as his 5* is, plus lower deployment cost to boot.
* CastingAShadow: His powers allow him to command darkness and Shadow, allowing him to either bind his enemies with Shadow tendrils or to have the Shadows consume them and place them under his control, thanks to his second Sacred Artifact "Country of Root" (Ne no Kuni).
* CerebusRetcon: His friendly interactions with Ebisu in previous events are even more disturbing now that we know Daikoku has been possessed this whole time.
* CharmPerson: Has charm debuff as part of his CS's effect.
* DecompositeCharacter: Storyline-wise, Shiva, Mahakala, and Daikokuten are treated as different beings rather being the same person.
* DemonicPossession: Turns out, Daikoku has been possessed by Ōkuninushi-no-Kami, the mythical nation-building god of Japan. Tsukuyomi realized this when he was entrapped within Daikoku's shadow realm and revealed the truth once Ellie had managed to rescue him. It's unknown what has become of the original Daikoku or if there's anything left of him.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: It's implied that he dislike Benten's Love Song for unknown reason in Fortune Festival event.
* FatalFlaw: According to himself: [[SayingTooMuch exposing too much of his own villainous plan to his enemy]], which screwed his plan multiple times in the previous loops. He has since resolved to simply keep everyone else in the dark until the time for his machinations comes to fruition.
* FreudianExcuse: His willingness to engage in what is effectively people trafficking stems from when his own power and prestige was in danger from his divine peers. As such he takes special joy in controlling the genuinely powerful.
* {{Fundoshi}}: His 5 stars skin sports one. Curiously, he is not treated as "unit with swimsuit" unlike Musashi and Sanat Kumara.
* TheHeavy: Despite many of the Warmongers such as Balor and Shiva possessing more powerful and destructive abilities, Daikoku is by far regarded as the most dangerous member of the group despite not being a Representative due to his mysterious background, calculative personality, clear criminal acts, and his goal involving Mahakala of the Great Darkness.
* IHaveManyNames: While he calls himself Daikoku, he also goes by the name "Mahakala". However, his true name is heavily implied to be Okuni as in Okuninushi.
* LogicalWeakness: He's powerless to stop Ellie when she enters his realm to rescue Tanetomo and Tsukuyomi as being a vampire, she is seen as a ruler of the night and thus immune to his powers.
* MeaningfulName: Is named after Daikokuten, aka Japanese version of Shiva.
* MulticoloredHair: Black and white, just like Shiva.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He is visibly shocked when Tsukuyomi called him "Great Darkness", before switching back to calling him Daikoku.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He is viewed by some as kind and compassionate, while the others view him as cruel, manipulative, and destructive. This mysterious contradiction has not gone unnoticed by the protagonist and Tsukuyomi.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: His connection to Mahakala is not because his Sacred Artifact one belonged to him like the the previous five, but because the the three Sacred Treasures he took from the Susanoo sharing the same role and rule as Mahakala.
* RedHerring: Double-folded. Despite the evidence, he is not the Representative of Deka Lova. Shiva is.
** He's not even the real Daikoku. It's actually another god who have hijacked his body in order to fulfill their agenda.
* VaporWear: His "Fortune God" costume put him in a robe, headband, and towel, with no possibility for underwear in sight.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Daikoku is beloved and respected by the students at Kiou, including Tajikarao, as the noble superintendent and school principal, but he has a darker side of holding illegal auction and being the leader of black market and transient trafficking.
* WeaksauceWeakness:
** According to Tsukuyomi, if anyone is able to call out his true name, then all of his darkness would lose its power. [[CrazyPrepared That is]], if you know he's actually Okuninushi, otherwise calling him by his host's name does nothing to negate his powers.
** Tanetomo mentions that because "shadow" ranks lower than "sunlight", his power is always second to those who wield said power.
* ZergRush: He has managed to collection an extensive army of Shadow minions and hope to use their numerical advantage against Amaterasu.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Sun Emperor Carrier'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/JunkoTakeuchi

World Representative of Nirai Kanai and lustful boy king who carries the memories of a heavenly emperor. He boasts that there is no one in the world who doesn't love him, and he is quick to hold hands with those he likes. He is a hardy soldier that specializes in the bow, and he fights with the Sacred Artifact of 24 battle-signaling arrows that are the incarnation of sunlight. These arrows will always reach wherever the sun shines and can be used as a part of Teda's body. In places known as pyazhu it is believed that he can enter the bodies of people he immediately falls in love with as light and have children. He has extremely terrible compatibility with people who would obstruct the grace of the sun.
----
* HiddenDepths: The reason he chooses to not confront and fight against the protagonist despite it being the Warmongers' modus operandi is because he witnessed that Balor had lost all of his will to live after doing such and killing the protagonist as result, thus refrains from the action in order to not end up like him.
* {{Hunk}}: He is totally ripped despite his youthful look.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: According to his profile, his arrow will always reach its target as long as they're in the world of sunlight. In contrast, it cannot reach the land of night or the ocean depth where there is no sunlight.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: He sympathizes with people who also lost loved ones to the oceans and doesn't get along with people who block the sun, so he give Makara the Friendship buff (since he lost Varuna to the sea as well) and gives Korpokkur the Anger buff (since his leaves can block the sun).
* LogicalWeakness: As a consequence, he can't affect anything that isn't in his light, whether if its blocked or it can't reach. Notably this causes him some grief, since its implied he's lost someone deep in the oceans, where light cannot reach.
* TheOmniscient: Similar to Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, as his world's representative, he's capable of observing everything the light of his Sun touches thanks to his Rule.
* PlayingWithFire: His 3* element, fitting his role as the Sun God.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Use bow and arrow as his weapon of choice.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His default costume has no shirt, only clothing hanging from his hips.
* VagueAge: Appearance-wise, while he titled himself "Boy King", one of his alternate outfits is a modified Gakuran which is traditionally not worn before high school. Adding his musculature and its hard to believe that his age is anything below 13.

!!Nezha
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_nezha01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Asakusa Street Racer'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/RieMurakawa

Transient from the world of Hourai and avatar of the lotus blossom. First year student of the middle school section of Umamichi Academy in Taito Ward, Asakusa. Nezha is a weapon created with war carved into the core of their soul gem. They possess a Role where they must fight when possible, especially when they must also kill any dragons they see. Back in their home world, they have a past where they were drawn to someone calling themselves Qitian Dasheng (Seiten Taisei), all while karma led to the two having hostilities. Nezha is now emotionally attached to someone who has traces of that person but not their destiny and calls them senpai. Due to their past, Nezha doesn't get on well with anyone who reminds them of their nagging father.
----
* BloodKnight: In the "Jiangshi Night" event they are constantly looking for an excuse to get into fights.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A low-key version; Nezha was built for war and as such views almost everything as some form of competition, and since their body can be rebuilt if it's broken to pieces, they don't quite grasp how terribly final death can be, having never come close to facing it themselves.
* ChallengeSeeker: Nezha is the "welcome committee" for Umamichi - by which we mean they try to pick a fight with anyone and everyone who comes onto the academy grounds. It's their Role to do so, but they take a ''little'' too much glee in it, and often have to be distracted from it by Hanuman.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Their in-game skillset is built around having incredible mobility... but they don't hit particularly hard; they don't buff their allies; and they don't meaningfully debuff the enemies, only getting the ability to apply one weak Burn debuff after their final Limit Break. In a game where group synergy is key, Nezha brings nothing to the table another character couldn't do just as well, if not better, and with less overall utility.
* SempaiKohai: Has this relationship with Hanuman, with Nezha being the junior of the two.
* UselessUsefulSpell: Nezha can stack multiple Acceleration buffs, essentially hyper charging their CP to use their charge skill often... except they don't do much beyond that and even their charge skill only really lets them move better; which would be fine if they had any move skills, but they don't.

!!Marduk
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_marduk01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Calf of the Sun'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/FukushiOchiai

A Transient from the world of Babilim, where it is believed that one will be reborn after death. The people of Marduk's homeland revere him as the Calf of the Sun and a hero among their people. He can gain new life by having the dragon Mushussu swallow him whole, regurgitating him with a brand-new body. This is, understandably, a frightening experience for him, yet he always resists the urge to scream because he must maintain his image as the stalwart hero. By contrast, Mushussu adores Marduk, and this process is one of the ways that the creature expresses its love for him. The stone tablet hanging from Marduk's neck is inscribed with a divine decree, though its Rule is currently not functioning as it should. Nonetheless, Marduk continues to follow the command inscribed upon it, always pursuing chaos wherever he finds it. He feels a level of kinship toward a fellow archer who, like him, is also known as a child of the sun. He also has something of a fondness for the individual with the Sacred Artifact that can rend heaven and earth.\\\

He is based on the patron god of Babylonia and who presided over storms, justice, compassion, healing, regeneration, magic, and fairness. He was responsible for slaying the primordial goddess Tiamat and then using her corpse to create the Heavens and the Earth as told in the Babylonian creation myth, [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Enûma Eliš]].

----
* AwesomeButImpractical: Mushussu's regenerative powers can bring Marduk back from the brink of death, but it results in Marduk being mind-wiped when completed.
* ChainmailBikini: Wear a golden armor with cape that barely covers anything, then Clothing Damage kicks in.
* EatenAlive: Unfortunately for Marduk, his pet dragon Mushussu likes to do this to him. A lot. Thankfully its powers allows it to regurgitate him in a new body free of injuries. Of course, Mushussu seems to enjoy doing this to his master even when Marduk is not injured.
* FlyingFirepower: Thanks to Mushussu, Marduk can maintain aerial advantage and reposition himself while sniping his opponents from afar.
* HarmfulHealing: Mushussu heals him by eating him, and it's noted that it's not a pleasant sensation.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: To say he is naïve would be an understatement. He readily place his complete trust in those he considers on his side and would never suspect his allies of foul play or deception against him. This bites him when the other members of the Warmongers send him out to the battlefield in order to covertly eliminate him. This attitude might have something to do with the culture of Babel.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The unfortunate side effect of Mushussu's power is that Marduk is reborn in an almost literal sense as his mind is wiped clean as much as his own body is. Every time Marduk is devoured and regurgitated, he mentally regresses to the first moments of his summoning which erases any prior relationships he might have had, forcing him to relearn friend from foe.
* MemoryJar: Subverted. It's implied his pillar is the stone tablet hanging from his neck, but for some reason it's not working at the moment. If it was functional, that would eliminate the drawback of using Mushussu to heal himself.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Has a red dragon companion whose power can rejuvenate Marduk of any wounds by swallowing him whole, healing him, and spitting him back out.
* WorfHadTheFlu: For some reasons, his Mandate of Heaven Clay Tablet's power cannot be utilized properly, and thus is unable to recall the memories from the past loops. Which may be due to Shuichi, given that he is shown to possess a Sacred Artifact with very similar design..
* WeaksauceWeakness: As incarnation of Babel's sun, Marduk's offensive power heavily diminishes during nighttime, especially as against the opponent who draws power from his weakness like Ellie.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Orge Exterminator Commander'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/WataruTakagi

Transient from the world of Wa no Kuni and its Representative. Back home, his childhood name was Onimusha or Oniwakamaru. He is one member of the subsystem that controls the world, The Originator/Minamoto(?). He is also a corporate man who excels at politically defining someone as an enemy and uniting everyone else against them. By changing his weaknesses into many and cutting off ties when the need arises, he can flip around the political game board. Yoritomo loves sumo wrestling contests, and his hobby is sponsoring his favorite sumo wrestlers. He fears falling off of a horse, and he does not feel that moving around much is a good thing. He is greatly feared by those who know his past, especially if they have been given a sword by him. As the mirror image of his younger brother's grown self and the Azuma warriors who followed his brother's example, he despises mirrors.\\\
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like Oniwaka, the game's Yoritomo is implied to be of Oni descent.
* BoomerangBigot: Detest Onis, when it's clear he has Oni blood.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: By his own words, "allies" are just people who're temporary useful to him, which tells a lot about his mindset.
* FantasticRacism: Is implied to hold unnatural amount hatred toward the Onis, Ogres, and Demons. Which is [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritical]], since going by his spectral horns, Oni blood flows in his veins and he's by definition a Transient.
* HornedHumanoid: Similar to Toji, he possesses a pair of spectral horns on his head, hidden by his hat.
* KatanasAreBetter: He wields an ornate katana.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the brother of one of the protagonist's souls, Yoshitsune.
* OneSteveLimit: Played with. Real-life historical fact wise, his childhood name is "Oniwakamaru", which is very similar to "Benkei"'s Oniwaka.
* RageAgainstTheReflection: Implied to have a case of this. Yoritomo's own resemblance to his brother, Yoshitsune, makes it uncomfortable for him to look at himself in the mirror as it reminds him of his regrets for what he has done to his brother.
* ScarsAreForever: Has a large horizontal one across his face.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Has a nasty habit of doing this to his subordinates. Not even his own brother was safe from this as one can recall from Japanese history.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Unmasked]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_mephistopheles01.png]][[/labelnote]]
->Voiced By: Creator/RikiyaKoyama

Transient from the World of Gehenna and its Representative. The infamous demon from the story of [[Myth/{{Faust}} Faust]] who forged a contract with the dissatisfied scholar for earthly pleasures in exchange for the man's soul.

Here Mephistopheles acts as the administration manager of the shadow cabinet within Tokyo's legislative Diet in order further the Warmonger's ambitions.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Mephisto revealed to Duo that he didn't actually become a Representative through banishing someone from his homeworld like all the Reps. Rather, it was actually Lucifer/Shaytan who had granted the title to him before the former had vanished from Gehenna. This has causes some personal awkwardness for Mephisto as he feels out of place compared to his colleagues and their goals.
** Unlike most of the Transients from Gehenna, who were either casted away or fled there, Mephisto was a true native of Gehenna.
* {{Baphomet}}: Mephistopheles is, unsurprisingly, a demonic caprine transient as one would expect of the demon who popularize the idea of demonic contracts.
* BattleButler: His outfit isn't just for show. Mephistopheles was essentially Shaytan's butler back in Gehenna, and then Faust's when he had contracted with the man.
* {{Bishonen}}: Has a quite soft features beneath his mask, compared to Lil'Salomon. Doesn't mean that he isn't capable of NightmareFace though.
* TheBlank: He was originally just a shadow demon, but thanks to the connection between the Player and Lil Sal, Mephisto has since gained a recognizable form.
* BoobsAndButtPose: His 4 star card puts a heavy emphasis on his rather ample assets by putting him in this pose as he exits his mirror portal.
* TheCorruptor: He loves gradually corrupting his contractors and watching them fall further and further from grace as they drown in depravity. Although interestingly, he's also amused by people who seem like easy-to-corrupt types, but are able to stop themselves and resist temptation.
** This is also the reason why he dislike Snow, his anti-thesis as a butler. While Snow raises his charges to be kings and generally nurturing their best qualities in order to mold them into superior individuals, Mephistopheles does quite the opposite. Mephistopheles would rather lavish his charges in decadence and feed their worse traits until they become the worse version of themselves.
* DealWithTheDevil: He's the TropeCodifier and the unique buff he gives is literally called '''Deal with the Devil'''. The buff works in tandem with the debuff '''Price of Contract''' both of which are given by his first skill. While the unit is holding both status, they will receive a whooping 6x multiplier to their attack, 20 CP, and a minor defense boost for 2 turns. Of course, this being a Faustian bargain, there's a catch. While the buff last 2 turns, the debuff last 6 and without the buff, the debuff will activate, causing the unit to take [[DamageIncreasingDebuff extra damage]] and lock skill activation. This means it's critical that the player consistently refresh the buff on the affected unit whenever it expires.
* {{Guyliner}}: Mephistopheles has noticeably dark outlines around his eyes which are likely natural rather than the result of products as similar marks can be seen on the fur on his cheeks.
* TheHedonist: Not him, but what he turns all his summoners into if given the chance, which he'll enjoy every second of.
* IdenticalStranger: Looks very suspiciously similar to a beefed up version of Lil' Salomon. Though his face is less cartoonish than Lil Sal's. Dialogue from chapter 11 implies he's some interconnected piece to Salomon and the Player, but this has yet to be elaborated upon.
** His character bio states his present appearance is merely a reflection of Salomon, who's completely unrelated to him. This might have something to do with his nature as a Shadow and thus a reflection of his masters whose souls currently resides within the Player.
* LostLenore: It's implied that he harbored more than simple interest in Faust, but failed to claim his soul like in [[Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe's]] famous play adaptation of the novel.
* MagicallyBindingContract: His second Sacred Artifact, his infernal contract for making Faustian bargains.
* MagicMirror: His first Sacred Artifact, a light reflecting mirror that allows him to teleport between mirrors.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He's one of the most famous demons in Western literature and wears a stylish mask to hide his uncanny resemblance to Lil Salomon. He ditches the mask in the latter half of chapter 11.
* MeaningfulName: Mephistopheles, He Who Does Not Love the Light, doesn't mean he's [[WeakenedByTheLight weak to light]], rather it references his nature as a Shadow, both figurative and literal, to the light he serves. He is the shadow casted by the shining light of his master's soul.
* MirrorMonster: He has the ability appear from any mirror, which his 4 star art depicts.
* NiceShoes: Wears special shoes that accommodate for his cloven feet; they even have horseshoe-like soles built into the bottom.
* ShoutOut: Mephisto's alternative skin serves as one for his historical portrayals in plays, where his character was often dressed in a crimson jester-like costume and thus became the meme codifier for our depiction of the BigRedDevil today.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Zigzagged. He is the only character whose face is intentionally concealed in the "Infinite Days of Lives" PV.
* SlasherSmile: Flashes these when he's particularly excited.
* {{Yandere}}: He yearns for another chance to drive Faust, and thus the Player to depravity and claim their soul for his own.

->Voiced By: Creator/YasuyukiKase

A Transient from Devaloka, a world that aims to perpetuate itself via a system of reincarnation. He is an earnest young monk who seeks to dedicate his life to the betterment of his physical and spiritual being. Together, his past, present, and future selves can open the seventh chakra to attain immeasurable physical prowess. It is said that the universe will come to an end when the third eye upon his forehead opens, so he strives to keep it shut. This requires him to bury the seething emotions within himself and display total abstinence. He knows that to unleash the power of his third eye is to unleash shakti, the cosmic source, and be transformed into his final form. He was once shot through the heart with an arrow of love and has been captivated by his obsession with the emotion ever since. He feels uneasy in the presence of a certain crocodilian individual because he is reminded of the beast that accompanied the one who shot the arrow.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Snake, though unlike the original myth, the one around his neck is simply a necklace and not flesh-and-blood.
* BeyondTheImpossible: According to Bertro, no Transient possesses the power to destroy their very world. Shiva himself is the exception.
* BlessedWithSuck: Does not take it very well that he was given the power of Love and Desire by Kamadeva, and vows to kill the protagonist who holds the soul of his archenemy.
* ChainmailBikini: His Shiva-Mahakala form features him in a black armor that covers so less that he might as well not wearing anything.
* DecompositeCharacter: As stated in Daikoku's profile, he and Daikoku(ten) aren't the same person.
* TheFaceless: Like Algernon, Shiva hides his face with a helmet.
* FusionDance: Merges with the Exception Mahakala to become the Warmonger's ultimate weapon, Shiva-Mahakala.
* TheJuggernaut: The few story battles against Shiva are all HoldTheLine missions, as Shiva cannot even be actually harmed in these battles.
* MulticoloredHair: Black and white, just like his equivalent, Daikoku, though his is more Shonen-hair variant.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: As per his legend, though they're disembodied mechanical hands here and can transform into two of his clones. The two duplicates of Shiva represents his Past and Future, while he himself represents the Present.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Gains them on his shoulders in his Shiva-Mahakala form.
* ThirdEye: He has a third eye, and if it opens bad things are about to happen.
* ThongOfShielding: Part of his alternate costume, again, like Daikoku.
* UnexpectedCharacter: InUniverse. With Daikoku's mythological origin's association with Shiva, no one expects the original guy himself to appear in the game.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Due to his history with Kamadeva in the past, he is weak against those that share similar power with his archenemy like Shinya, who forces him to flee with the power of Cupid's arrow.

* AnIcePerson: The aura in his hand has snow floating in it, and his charge skill uses ice in its animation.
* TheDragon: He seems to be this to Perun.
* FashionVictimVillain: His outfit is a skin tight leotard, under a set of armor with a tabard, one pauldron and boots that look like he's just stepped in wet concrete. Needless to say, it all clashes.
* {{Foil}}: To Horkeukamui obviously. Both are wolf men who took people in to raise heroes to defend their realms only for them to die, and both have ice related abilities. Where Horkeukamui only took one person at a time, typically children who had no famly or loved ones, Volkh took children en masse. And where Horkeukamui is shown to have doubts and regrets about his role and ideals on his own, but no clue how to think differently, Volkh has no regrets even though he can't see the faults in his own logic.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In chapter 9 he soundly defeats Horkeukamui, one of few characters who can use both reflect and nullify debuff. Volkh deals double damage to any foe with one of those and quadruple to those with both.
* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler: He seemingly summoned the spirits of all Kamui's deceased students and sicced them on him to capture him.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Zig-zaged. He appears completely wolf like, but is described as being born of humans. In addition he has the title of Werewolf Prince.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His distaste for Horkeukamui comes from his intense disagreement for placing the onus of heroism on a single child, knowing that heroes always die early. Volkh instead advocates that all children should be raised as heroes. His profile notes that he cannot see the logical failures of this viewpoint.
* NoSell: He was able to casually nullify Kamui's powers.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_masanori01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''The Mentalist'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/TakahiroMiyamoto

A Transient from the Land of Wa and one of the Hakkenshi, bearing the orb of Courtesy. Masanori is constantly thinking about the decorum that divides man and beast. As such, he is a diligent person who focuses on history, literature, and psychology in his attempts to learn about it. It's said that those who come in contact with him have their perspectives up to that point jolted in an instant. In some neighborhoods, he gets tremendous support as a mentalist. He is also second to none when it comes to tracing the thoughts of victims and assailants of crime scenes. Many in the police force believe it's as if he were possessed by the spirits of the dead. Masanori himself would say it's just insufficient to the literary talent he desires. Masanori may be born a dogman, but he was raised and abused by a monster cat. Due to this he has a bit of an identity crisis and spends every day affirming that he is a dog. Today is another day that he spends looking for a certain something that will not change even if the values of the world suddenly flip around.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case the {{Bookworm}} Inumura Daikaku.

[[caption-width-right:350:Duelist on the Board]]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/ToshihikoSeki

A Transient from the world of Hourai and a duelist on the lookout for games where people bet "the things most important to themselves." He is also known as a streamer of a stock market speculating video channel that boasts an enormous number of followers. He alone has survived through fluctuating stock market prices when his fellow financiers have crumbled. He speaks as though he knows the future, and there are many who look up to his string of victories' great fortune. He bets with enough money to flip the world on its head while gaining support with his spendthrift ways. Fuxi is a recognized authority on games with any kind of premise and information. He normally has a mild mannered yet gentlemanly personality, but there are times when he has a dangerous look in his eyes that could curse the world. These days he is someone who is approaching the unadulterated original meaning of a revolution. He is a dragon who dearly treasures the blood sister he used to have and highly, devotedly, and INTENSELY adores her. He deeply empathizes with those who are tenacious when it comes to love.

* BigBrotherAttraction: Inverted with his sister and "the other part of himself" Nuwa, as he seems to be the one obsessed with her.
* EvilLaugh: His main screen lines include an insane laugh, as well as his Charge Attack lines.
* ShoutOut: His character and design evoke inspiration from ''Franchise/YuGiOh''. He's described as a duelist, and his Sacred Artifact looks like an ancient prototype of Kaiba's first duel disk, and is worn in the same manner as a modern one. Personality-wise, he combined elements of both Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba, being a master of games with a sadistic streak like ''Season 0'' and Manga Yami, and like Kaiba, rose to the position of a great business mogul through stocks and ownerships, along with having a borderline possessive relationship with his sibling. Being a powerful dragon also helps adds to thematic parallel between him and Kaiba.
* SlasherSmile: His alternative expression in his 5* art.
* TimeBomb: His fourth skill can be considered this, applying a tremendous HP reduction to all enemies once every eight turns.
* {{Yandere}}: How strongly and obsessively he feels for his sister borders on this.

Guild master Master of the aptly named Warmongers, a guild comprised of politicians and one militarists, who was initially dispatched from the Game Masters, a guild operating out of the Tower of Babel. Born a human, although extensive surgery and modifications have rendered Bertro's body almost entirely mechanical. Bertro has been programmed to focus primarily on recording the actions of his fellow guild members, and as such, rarely gets involved in the conflicts they instigate. He firmly believes that those who can make war and humor coexist are truly human, and has an extreme fondness for both topics. Possessed of a strong desire to destroy the moon, Bertro inherently respects those with sufficient power to perform such a deed. He has a tendency to slip in Russian phrases when he gets worked up. Furthermore, Bertro tends to gain the sympathy of those who, like him, have had to endure being modified by the hands of others.

members actually hold [[WarIsHell resentment to carry out some heinous scheme involving this]].

the protagonist as if it was team science project for school.

* AbusiveParent: Two-fold. Going by Shuichi's comments, the researchers who made them were not particularly kind people. Then there's her relationship to Breke, her creation. She coldly dismisses his emotional anguish and treats him like a mobile computer terminal for data collection, but still have the gall to call herself his ''mother'' and demand his undying respect. When he rejects her demands and flees, she acts like an entitled pet owner.
---> '''Curren''': Breke ran away from me. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She looks similar to Shuichi and Duo with her silvery hair and dark skin. Chapter 10 revealed that they were cloned from similar genetic samples.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Curren reveals to Breke that she too was part of the same experiments that [[ArtificialHuman made]] Shuichi and Duo using the genetic code of a certain set of geniuses.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: She's actually completely aware of it and perfectly fine with leaving all the decision making to Michael, giving her more time to focus on her research.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Temporarily forms one with Duo in Chapter 10 as they go about their data collection.
* DistaffCounterpart: She essentially looks like a GenderFlip version of Duo. After all, they were both cloned by the same researchers.
* EvilTwin: To Duo. For bonus points, Duo's summoner's mark is brighter in color than Curren's.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Duo. While both of them came from the same inhumane experiment that made them emotionally-stunted super-geniuses, their personal actions to others illustrate how Curren is fundamentally evil compare to Duo's inherent goodness.
** Duo treats R-19, who is stated multiple times to be expendable, like he mattered and respect the replicant's choices. Curren on the other hand, treats Breke like a tool and demands that he continue doing a job he clearly hates, without a care of the wolven cyborg's feelings.
* GadgeteerGenius: Has her own robot army, a menacing robot guardian in her full art, and is the Rulemakers' resident tech-wiz.
* GenderBlenderName: Double Subverted. She goes by the name ''Curren'', which is a name typically associated with female characters, but her true name is the same as her genetic source's.

When his home world was created, he first lost his right leg, followed soon by almost all of the rest of his body. Because of this, his apparent body now is nothing but a false image reflected in his Mirrors, and he can change it at will. He also enjoys altering his shape depending on the circumstances, transforming into various forms to keep his opponents guessing. As he is skilled at night warfare, he often takes the form of a nocturnal spider, although the evident enjoyment he finds in this tends to confuse those of his subordinates whom he has turned unwillingly into spiders, who don't see the attraction.

Like other World Representatives, Michael is in possession of a Pillar from his respective world, being the Trees of Life and Knowledge from Eden, and he could theoretically use it to recover his memories from past time loops.

Tezcatlipoca and his brothers, particularly Quetzacoatal, formed the world of El Dorado by waging war against and defeating the primordial monster Cipactli.

This Transient is the World Representative of Kamui Kotan, a frozen world preserved forever in ice. Ordinarily, he would only be visible to children short enough to peek beneath the Leaf he bears, but in Tokyo, he is visible even to full-grown adults. Whenever Korpokkur discovers a community of children, he plants leaves like his own in the ground to propagate, and with the coming of spring, the land blossoms into a sanctuary ideal for them to dwell in. However, as the seasons turn, those children outgrow the leaves that sustain their lives and become blind to Korpokkur hiding beneath them. Eventually, their guardian departs, the rivers run dry, the fauna despoils, and the land becomes harsh and barren once more. Even so, Korpokkur loves the young and innocent from the bottom of his heart, and it is his wish to create a paradise for these children that brings him to Tokyo. A past incident has led him to despise those who rifle through the foliage to disturb what hides within.

However, he would only be visible to children short enough to peek beneath the Leaf he bears, but has a bad habit of immediately putting things in Tokyo, he is visible even to full-grown adults. Whenever Korpokkur discovers a community of children, he plants leaves like his own in the ground mouth to propagate, see if they are poisonous. Maybe because of this, he can often be seen panting and groaning with stomach pain, never learning from his mistakes. He has a passion for farming, and while his plot is small, he finds a great deal of use in it as an experimental farm to grow a variety of strange creations. He is affiliated with the coming of spring, Warmongers, the land blossoms into a sanctuary ideal for them to dwell in.

He cannot help but worry for these children that brings him to Tokyo.

Conversely, he feels an aversion to disturb what hides within.those who gladly cause themselves pain; likes, in this case, repel.



* AnIcePerson: His sacred artifact can generate violent blizzards capable of freezing his enemies with the only safe spot in the death-zone being under his butterbur leaf.
* EvilCounterpart: Is seemingly set-up to be one for Chernobog. While both of them have similar [[AnIcePerson powers]], Chernobog couldn’t initially restrain his powers from automatically activating and killing anyone who set foot on his mountain and was deeply troubled by his lack of control. Korpokkur on the other hand, is quite in control of his powers and judging from his voice lines, very willing to use them.
* FalseUtopia: The System that Korpokkur wants to create is one of AmbiguousInnocence: he prizes that state, and would seek to create a world where there are no adults, only children in various stages of physical development. His World of Kamuy Kotan is essentially a prototype version of his ideal, as while he can't stop the children from becoming adults, he can continually "[[EternalRecurrance reset]]" the world so that, sociologically speaking, no growth can happen.
* FertileFeet: He’s capable of revitalizing the land by planting giant butterburs in that area allowing it to become habitable, but only if there are children there. Once all the children have grown up, Korpokkur will leave the area and take all his life-giving butterburs with him.
* IcyBlueEyes: [[IncrediblyLamePun What]] else did you expect of a character who could conjure deadly blizzards on a whim? Overlaps with [[OccultBlueEyes Occult blue eyes]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His sacred artifact is a giant butterbur leaf that could pass as a beach parasol.
* InvisibleToAdults: One of his powers. Unfortunately, as his invisibility is only limited to adults, leading to a child finding him one day.
* {{Invisibility}}: By waving his butterbur leaf around himself, he can turn invisible.
* IrrationalHatred: He was exposed one day by a child who grew too curious and pushed away the leaf he was hiding under. He grew to resent this person. He also has a cold hate for those who [[CharacterDevelopment change]], intentionally or otherwise, as he intentionally triggers a collision with Kamuy Kotan during the "Onsen Jamboree" event, merely to get revenge on Kimun Kamui who had begun to question his Role in Kamuy Kotan's System.
* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler:His invisibility and ice powers mean little to nothing against Jacob who not only has TrueSight, but also Uriel's fiery blade as his sacred artifact. Thankfully for Korp, Jacob was only there to speak with him instead of looking for a fight.]]
* TronLines: Found on the bottom portion of the butterbur’s stem. Similar marks have been found on other sacred artifacts, but it’s currently unknown what they are.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His cute child-like appearance and quirks belies a far colder and savage personality that espouses the creation of a world where “happy and innocent children” can live in peace, while at the same time voicing his joy that Michael’s gaze possesses a “cold and merciless” quality to it, a trait he would like in all kids.
* WalkingWasteland: Once all of the children on his land mature into adulthood, Korpokkur will uproot all the giant life-giving butterburs and leave the area, reverting the land back to an inhospitable wasteland.

* ElementalPowers: His 3* and 5* rarities are of the Wood attribute, hearkening to
his poison powers. His 4* is instead a Valiant attribute unit.
* {{Expy}}: His
powers bears resemblance to [[Characters/FateGrandOrderAssassinsGToM the Hassan of Serenity]] from automatically activating and killing anyone who set foot on Fate.
* FormFittingWardrobe: His default outfit is a tank top that's... basically a second skin.
* GiantMedicalSyringe: His weapon of choice. A huge syringe that's about as tall as he is, likely filled with poisons he's developed/cultivated himself.
* HospitalHottie: Double Subverted. Shennong takes
his mountain and was deeply troubled by his lack job seriously regardless of control. Korpokkur on the other hand, is quite most circumstances. There's even a story bit in control of his powers and judging from his voice lines, very willing to use them.
* FalseUtopia: The System
Chapter 10 that Korpokkur wants to create is one of AmbiguousInnocence: he prizes that state, lampshades this exact trope; the protgonist asks for medical assistance while injured and would seek to create adds a world where there are no adults, only children in various stages of physical development. His World of Kamuy Kotan is blatantly salacious remark. Shennong's respose? Cycling through 5 different expressions before essentially a prototype version of his ideal, as while he can't stop landing on "What the children from becoming adults, hell is ''wrong with you?"''

He possesses a unique buff "Poison Reversal" which acts as a regen, attack boost and defense boost, but only if there the recipients are children there. Once all poisoned.

** This is why he readily takes advantage of the Dragon Palace resort in the Virtual Summer Memory event, as his digital avatar can't poison anyone.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: RequiredSecondaryPowers: Thanks to his Sacred Artifact being his own internal organs, he's immune to poisons, though it might give him a nasty stomachache.

His second sacred artifact is a giant butterbur leaf that could pass as a beach parasol.

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Wears a ring on almost every finger.
* {{Expy}}: His sacred artifact and [[SplitPersonality dual personality]] makes him one to [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Dr. Jekyll]].
* {{Foil}}: As noted above, barring their personalities, both Oz and Zo were kings who ruled in Olympus, both felt LonelyAtTheTop, and as their 4-Star revels, both had the exact same Role and, if the statement is taken at face value, both possibly faced the same fate of the Nemean Lion of Myth. It's heavily implied that for this reason that they were put into one body when they were summoned.

* ScrewDestiny: Their 4-Star states that their Role was to die at the hands of a great hero and be turned into a cloak, but it was changed when they were summoned to Tokyo. This is supported by the fact that the game's incarnation of Heracles, despite being at the point of his life where he should be performing the 12 Labors, is not shown wearing the Nemean Lion Pelt.
* SharingABody: As a result of an unknown event when they were summoned to Tokyo, Oz and Zo share a body. Unusually, this is in contrast to how the Game usually deals with two individuals with same Roles and Rules, namely that only one is Summoned and other is blocked.

* {{Foil}}: As noted above, barring their personalities, both Oz BitchInSheepsClothing: Almost literally in this case. Tanetomo's geisha training allows him to craft an elegant and Zo were kings who ruled affable persona that hides the inner viciousness swimming just beneath the surface of his personality.
* CombatHaircomb: He can use his hairpins as projectiles with deadly accuracy as demonstrated by his first meeting with Yasuyori.
* CombatHandFan: Swats the protagonist's sword away with a flick of his fan
in Olympus, both felt LonelyAtTheTop, chpater 11.
* CuteAndPsycho: Tanetomo's demure appearance is contrasted by his cold-blooded
and as their 4-Star revels, both had the exact same Role and, if the statement almost casual approach to assassination.
* DeathSeeker: His offer for his victims to kill him are entirely sincere which
is taken at face value, both possibly faced the same fate of the Nemean Lion of Myth. It's heavily implied that for to be a [[ConditionalPowers condition]] of his artifact's power.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The way Tanetomo reacted to the Protagonist mentioning Yasuyori in Chapter 11. He first goes dead silent before going back to stabbing Ellie, but
this reason time with renewed vigor as he denounces Yasuyori for so easily believing in the lies Tanetomo fed to him or that they were put into one body when they were summoned.
* GoalInLife: He dreams of becoming an astronaut
ever had a real relationship, platonic or otherwise, to begin and reaching the stars. Seems only fitting he's states that he was merely using Yasuyori for his own ends. The whole experience basically looked like a barely contained emotional meltdown from someone who just had a nasty break-up with poor Ellie serving a sun goddess.
* MistressAndServantBoy: The servant
as the punching bag for Tanetomo's rage over Yasuyori leaving him. Tanetomo even tries to his lady, Amaterasu. The two seem to have a rationalize that it was he who had cut ties with Yasuyori, rather friendly relationship.
* MythologyGag: Their 4 star version depicts
than the pair sitting on other way around.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Tanetomo is very [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] in appearance, making him very easy to underestimate, which is
a (not yellow) brick road, while useful trait for an assassin. This is a trait he borrows from the crystal spires of the Emerald City can be seen behind them.

character he's based on the Nemean Lion. It's this attribute of their body that makes Oz and Zo's situation possible.

DullEyesOfUnhappiness: He gets these whenever she has he drops his mask and gets serious.
* DumpedViaTextMessage: Essentially how he felt when Yasuyori left him and returned to Yoyogi Academy, following the events of Chapter 10. Needless to say, Tanetomo did not react too well to the news.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon:
* FlowersOfFemininity: He uses floral pins to hold his hair in place in his student attire, while he wears
a fainting spell, floral headband/tiara, with pins tucked into his bun, in his geisha persona. Unsurprisingly, they're not [[HiddenWeapons just]] for decorations.
* FreudianExcuse: Like his novel counterpart, Tanetomo's saw his entire family butchered at a young age and their family treasure stolen. This forced him rely on his beauty to survive and seek out the offenders to avenge his family.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His 4-Star implies that he risks being killed
either from [[TraumaButton remembering]] her brother or from over-exerting herself.
* ScrewDestiny: Their 4-Star states that their Role was to die at the hands of a great hero and be turned into a cloak, but it was changed when they were summoned to Tokyo. This is supported
by the fact that the game's incarnation of Heracles, despite being at the point of his life where he should be performing the 12 Labors, is not shown wearing the Nemean Lion Pelt.
* SharingABody: As
very person he's trying to assassinate as a result of an unknown event when his offer to take his sword and stab him with it always being genuine, or by his artifact's ability as a result of how he holds it.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Yasuyori, although Yasuyori don't seem to view him in the same light.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Kills the shinobis sent to assassinate Yasuyori while
they were summoned to Tokyo, Oz and Zo share a body. Unusually, this is in contrast to how the Game usually deals hidden with two individuals just a casual flick of his hair pins.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Very much so.
* {{Keigo}}: Uses a very formal speaking pattern as expected of a person
with same Roles a geisha background.
* KimonoFanservice: His alternative skin has him wearing a beautiful white
and Rules, namely that only one fuchsia floral kimono with his right arm, which bears his peony mark, out of its sleeve.
* PsychoPoodle: He
is Summoned based on the Papillon or Continental Toy Spaniel dog breed and other is blocked.

* SuperSerum: Their RageBreakingPoint: Played for laughs, but Tanetomo kicks and destroyed Hombre's speakers after getting annoyed by the blaring music during the ''Nyah! Happy Illusions'' event.
* RapunzelHair: His sandy hair fall is long enough to reach his knees! When performing as a geisha, he keeps it all in a PrimAndProperBun.
* SchmuckBait: Since his sword
Sacred Artifact, an emerald flask which contains the drug that allows them to switch personalities. Notably, Artifact destroys whoever it's stated pointed at, he uses it for assassination by convincing his target to be a side effect of the flask, and its true power is unknown.
* VillainsOutShopping: Granted the Player had no idea Oz was actually in-league
kill him with it, offering the handle to the mark while he holds the edge of it. The blade will then kill the person if their hearts are moved by Tanetomo's emotional display.
* TheSmartGuy: The virtue he embodies is ''Wisdom'' and he's an adept strategist for the Warmongers. He has enough tactical prowess to lead a vanguard against
the Rule Makers at that point, but Maker's troops.

Bael brags about being part of an organization, and keeps his personal feelings locked up tight. While some in his club admire these qualities, others find him inflexible and insufferably strait‐laced. He tends to clash most violently with bold, rough individuals.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case TheBigGuy Inuta Kobungo.



* AmoralAttorney: He is a prosecutor and quite amoral.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Bael's a King of Gehenna and a sadistic monster out only for himself.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's ranked 1st in the Goetia and while he's not the highest rank among all demons, he holds a great deal of both personal and political powers.
* TheBadGuyWins: Heavily downplayed. Although his scheme to cheat the Reps using the Canaan Recreation failed, Bael still managed to obtain a portion of his original self's power and status. How this will ultimately benefit him is still unknown.
* CarryABigStick: As the Canaan story continues, Bael is given his counterpart's weapons by Kothar, a pair of magic clubs called Yagrush and Ayamur. He grows attached to using them, as they are the physical symbols of his status as Canaan's Representative, which proves to be a grave mistake as it allowed Astaroth to engage him without worry of his greater Goetian rank overpowering her.
* CastingAShadow: He's an Infernal unit, which also doubles as DarkIsEvil.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Attempted to cheat all of the legitimate Representatives in Tokyo by trapping the Player in a recreation of Canaan and then becoming a Representative himself by fusing with his original divine alter-ego in order to claim the Player and then returing back to Tokyo victorious without fear of interference from the other Reps. Unfortunately for Bael, the actors he had ''chosen'' for his recreation and the Player decided to overthrow him the moment he revealed the truth to them.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: His voice is a noticeably high tone with a tendency to elongate certain portions of his speech as if he is savoring his words.
* DealWithTheDevil: The first Goetian demon to make an on-screen deal. The events of Canaan plays this trope straight, showing just why Faustian Contracts are a terrible idea, especially contracts struck with a conniving monster like Bael.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:Want to find out whatever happened to Canaan? Sure, he'll show you what happened. Down to every last murder, death, and destruction that befell its citizens.]]
* FusionDance: His real goal when he offered to help Dagon uncovered the truth of Canaan's fate. Bael would merge with Baal, his original self and a Canaanite wind deity, in the Canaan event and play his role. That way, Bael would attain the status and power of World Representative by proxy when Baal is awarded the status. The bio entry for his 5-star version implies he has partially succeed despite the utter failure of his Canaan scheme.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Being the demon he is, Bael's benefits will come with a steep cost. This is demonstrated in game with his "Seeker/Devotion to Burnt Offerings" skills, which has a high chance of buffing his allies, while also draining their health if it succeeds. His 3 stars' "Seeker" version only grants an atk buff and drain 600 points of health, while his 5 stars' "Devotion" version grants both an atk and def buff and drain 1000 points of health.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: His sacred artifact are his four pairs of shimmering shadow wings. They have the power to show Bael his victim's [[YourHeartsDesire greatest desires]] and by devouring their memory of it, his wings can make manifest those desires.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Weaponized. Bael's first two skills, "Exposer" and "Impertinence", not only cripple enemies when they have status buffs, but also deal extra damage to them per buff!
** His obsession with being a Representative and refusal to use to his Goetian powers allowed Astaroth to stall him long enough for the heroes to arrive and defeat him despite his Goetian rank normally being higher than hers.
* IdenticalStranger: Downplayed. Looks almost exactly like Seth, save for their color scheme and his glasses. This is due to both Seth and Bael having mythological origins in Baal from Canaanite mythology.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: The reflections in his wings on his 5-star unit art shows him for what he really is behind his thin veneer of sophistication. An envious, vicious, and sadistic monster who care for no one but himself.
* NeatFreak: He hates getting dirty and gets along well with people who likes to keep clean, like Algernon. His pristine and pressed suit as much for his vanity as it's for his sanity.
* ObviouslyEvil: It can't get anymore obvious than having literal demon horns, holding a whip and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking being a lawyer]].
* PerpetualSmiler: His calm, conceited smile rarely leaves his face and is noted in his profile.
* RedBaron: King of Burnt Offerings.
* ThisCannotBe: His defeat line, complete with screams of indignation and MadnessMantra.
* TooCleverByHalf: Make no mistake, Bael is a very patient and devious mastermind. Unfortunately, his sheer arrogance overshadows his intellect resulting in the demon overestimating himself and how much control he actually has over the situation. [[spoiler:Case in point, his meticulous SadisticChoice endings in the Canaan recreation failed to account for the protagonist's frequent TakeAThirdOption and their ability to invoke this in their friends.]]
* UpperClassTwit: He halts from an aristocratic background back in Gehenna and is apparently still very much a member of society's upper echelon here in Tokyo and he will obnoxiously remind you of his higher status if given the chance.
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Bael's student uniform is a well-kept naval uniform with a hankerchief folded and tucked in its left breast pocket, another symbol of his decadent wealth.
* WhipItGood: He wields a stylized riding crop, which both illustrates his true authoritarian nature and his sadism.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: A more villainous example than most. Bael believes that power comes with obligations and duties that have to be performed, even if they are not necessarily pleasant. He informs Astarte of this in the Canaan event, much to her dismay. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Of course]], this is all lip-service. The finale of Canaan makes it clear that once Bael has the power and status he desires, he would rather lord it over everyone than take any actual responsibility.]]

However due to a defeat from a certain point in time, all of his dignity was stripped away and his pride was broken, and in the end he became someone who waited for his death penalty to be carried out within prison.

This willingness to engage in what is the result of his mental deterioration effectively people trafficking stems from when his own power and prestige was in danger from his divine peers.

His luchadores, who have dedicated themselves to his worship back in their home world, are never far from the vanguard in battles against other guilds. Although he always seems in high spirits, he is also calm and collected. He maintains a fervent belief in the act of sacrificing one's body to war for the sake of the world.

Because of this, his apparent body now is nothing but a false image reflected in his Mirrors, and he can change it at will. He also enjoys altering his shape depending on the circumstances, transforming into various forms to keep his opponents guessing. As he is skilled at night warfare, he often takes the form of a nocturnal spider, although the evident enjoyment he finds in this tends to confuse those of his subordinates whom he has turned unwillingly into spiders, who don't see the attraction.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The body you see in game is just a projection, his real body no longer exists, having been sacrificed via El Dorado's system.
* ArcVillain: Of chapter 10.
* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Balor, [[spoiler:as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives.]]
* BloodKnight: Practically embodies this trope. He enjoys and lives for battle, especially those with prices that cannot be repaid.

He and his sibling were born to conflict and it is one of the first things he could remember. To Tezcatlipoca, the act of war and conflict is a way for everyone to connect to one another.

* TheGeneralissimo: He has a military commander's uniform that looks like the textbook example of a South American dictator. This is only fitting as he is a South American god.

It can be used to implant parts of himself into others, like with Hombretigre, project his body as it once was and, as it is a world pillar, implant memories pertaining to battle and conflict. This mirror motif even [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration carries over to gameplay]]: He can reflect debuff, inflict possession causing his enemies to attack the other way, and disorient his enemies with darkness and dazzle to reduce their fighting capabilities.
* MentalWorld: Doubles as MirrorWorld. He can bring his victim's consciousness into his mirror and recreate scenes using the memories of everyone involved, albeit the recreations are noticably more dreary and monochromatic than the memories they are based on.
* NecessarilyEvil: How he sees his warmongering and part of the reason behind his WarIsGlorious mindset. Tezcatlipoca and his brothers, particularly Quetzacoatal, formed the world of El Dorado by waging war against and defeating the primordial monster Cipactli. Tezcatlipoca saw that the world began with war and sacrifice, so he concluded that only war and sacrifice could sustain his world. This led him to wage war against his own brothers in hopes that such conflict would provide the faith needed to keep El Dorado alive.

This is based on the contents once carved into it, and Marduk drives out disorder. He sympathizes with the person who is also a child of the sun and an archer. He also feels something similar to astral projection familiarity towards those who possess artifacts that divide heaven and allow it earth or bear names that relate to fight that.\\\

An expert in poisons and chemical substances and possessor of a cheerful and inquisitive disposition, this Transients excels in academics and has strong leadership skills. However, he has a bad habit of immediately putting things in his mouth to see if they are poisonous. Maybe because of this, he can often be seen panting and groaning with stomach pain, never learning from his mistakes. He has a passion for farming, and while his plot is small, he finds a great deal of use in it as an experimental farm to grow a variety of strange creations. He is affiliated with the Warmongers, the guild controlling Western Tokyo, where he works as a medic as well as a member of their frontline chemical and biological warfare unit. He cannot help but worry for those who unwittingly hurt themselves, and if their wounds are psychological and thus beyond his ministrations, he worries for them all the more. Conversely, he feels an aversion to those who gladly cause themselves pain; likes, in this case, repel.

never learning suspect his allies of foul play or deception against him. This bites him when the other members of the Warmongers send him out to the battlefield in order to covertly eliminate him. This attitude might have something to do with the culture of Babel.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The unfortunate side effect of Mushussu's power is that Marduk is reborn in an almost literal sense as his mind is wiped clean as much as his own body is. Every time Marduk is devoured and regurgitated, he mentally regresses to the first moments of his summoning which erases any prior relationships he might have had, forcing him to relearn friend from foe.
* MemoryJar: Subverted. It's implied his pillar is the stone tablet hanging

* BattleButler: His outfit isn't just for show. Mephistopheles was essentially Shaytan's butler back
in [[ISurrenderSuckers surrendering Gehenna, and then Faust's when he had contracted with the man.
* {{Bishonen}}: Has a quite soft features beneath
his leadership]], [[ManipulativeBastard binding mask, compared to Lil'Salomon. Doesn't mean that he isn't capable of NightmareFace though.
* TheBlank: He was originally just a shadow demon, but thanks to
the choices of connection between the Player and Lil Sal, Mephisto has since gained a recognizable form.
* BoobsAndButtPose: His 4 star card puts a heavy emphasis on
his opponents, rather ample assets by putting him in this pose as he exits his mirror portal.
* TheCorruptor: He loves gradually corrupting his contractors
and manipulating watching them into his hands]]. On a tactical level he gets on well with those who treat him as a charming commodity. He holds a mix of pity fall further and sympathy for further from grace as they drown in depravity. Although interestingly, he's also amused by people who get lost in destructive love.

Like
seem like easy-to-corrupt types, but are able to stop themselves and resist temptation.
** This is also
the other Hakkenshi reason why he dislike Snow, his anti-thesis as a butler. While Snow raises his charges to be kings and generally nurturing their best qualities in order to mold them into superior individuals, Mephistopheles does quite the opposite. Mephistopheles would rather lavish his charges in decadence and feed their worse traits until they become the worse version of themselves.
* DealWithTheDevil: He's the TropeCodifier and the unique buff he gives
is based literally called '''Deal with the Devil'''. The buff works in tandem with the debuff '''Price of Contract''' both of which are given by his first skill. While the unit is holding both status, they will receive a whooping 6x multiplier to their attack, 20 CP, and a minor defense boost for 2 turns. Of course, this being a Faustian bargain, there's a catch. While the buff last 2 turns, the debuff last 6 and without the buff, the debuff will activate, causing the unit to take [[DamageIncreasingDebuff extra damage]] and lock skill activation. This means it's critical that the player consistently refresh the buff on the affected unit whenever it expires.
* {{Guyliner}}: Mephistopheles has noticeably dark outlines around his eyes which are likely natural rather than the result of products as similar marks can be seen on the fur on his cheeks.
* TheHedonist: Not him, but what he turns all his summoners into if given the chance, which he'll enjoy every second of.
* IdenticalStranger: Looks very suspiciously similar to
a beefed up version of Lil' Salomon. Though his face is less cartoonish than Lil Sal's. Dialogue from chapter 11 implies he's some interconnected piece to Salomon and the Player, but this has yet to be elaborated upon.
** His
character bio states his present appearance is merely a reflection of Salomon, who's completely unrelated to him. This might have something to do with his nature as a Shadow and thus a reflection of his masters whose souls currently resides within the Player.
* LostLenore: It's implied that he harbored more than simple interest in Faust, but failed to claim his soul like in [[Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe's]] famous play adaptation of the novel.
* MagicallyBindingContract: His second Sacred Artifact, his infernal contract for making Faustian bargains.
* MagicMirror: His first Sacred Artifact, a light reflecting mirror that allows him to teleport between mirrors.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He's one of the most famous demons in Western literature and wears a stylish mask to hide his uncanny resemblance to Lil Salomon. He ditches the mask in the latter half of chapter 11.
* MeaningfulName: Mephistopheles, He Who Does Not Love the Light, doesn't mean he's [[WeakenedByTheLight weak to light]], rather it references his nature as a Shadow, both figurative and literal, to the light he serves. He is the shadow casted by the shining light of his master's soul.
* MirrorMonster: He has the ability appear
from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in any mirror, which his case 4 star art depicts.
* NiceShoes: Wears special shoes that accommodate for his cloven feet; they even have horseshoe-like soles built into
the [[DudeLooksLikeALady feminine]] Inusaka Keno.bottom.
* ShoutOut: Mephisto's alternative skin serves as one for his historical portrayals in plays, where his character was often dressed in a crimson jester-like costume and thus became the meme codifier for our depiction of the BigRedDevil today.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Zigzagged. He is the only character whose face is intentionally concealed in the "Infinite Days of Lives" PV.
* SlasherSmile: Flashes these when he's particularly excited.
* {{Yandere}}: He yearns for another chance to drive Faust, and thus the Player to depravity and claim their soul for his own.



* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He's ''pink'', specifically peach. While a pink dog wouldn't be out of place for this game, that every other Hakkenshi has a much more natural fur color for a dog makes him stand out that much more.
* AssassinOutclassin: Proves himself the superior assassin when he effortlessly dispatches the shinobis sent to kill Yasuyori in the past.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Almost literally in this case. Tanetomo's geisha training allows him to craft an elegant and affable persona that hides the inner viciousness swimming just beneath the surface of his personality.
* CombatHaircomb: He can use his hairpins as projectiles with deadly accuracy as demonstrated by his first meeting with Yasuyori.
* CombatHandFan: Swats the protagonist's sword away with a flick of his fan in chpater 11.
* CuteAndPsycho: Tanetomo's demure appearance is contrasted by his cold-blooded and almost casual approach to assassination.
* DeathSeeker: His offer for his victims to kill him are entirely sincere which is implied to be a [[ConditionalPowers condition]] of his artifact's power.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The way Tanetomo reacted to the Protagonist mentioning Yasuyori in Chapter 11. He first goes dead silent before going back to stabbing Ellie, but this time with renewed vigor as he denounces Yasuyori for so easily believing in the lies Tanetomo fed to him or that they ever had a real relationship, platonic or otherwise, to begin and states that he was merely using Yasuyori for his own ends. The whole experience basically looked like a barely contained emotional meltdown from someone who just had a nasty break-up with poor Ellie serving as the punching bag for Tanetomo's rage over Yasuyori leaving him. Tanetomo even tries to rationalize that it was he who had cut ties with Yasuyori, rather than the other way around.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Tanetomo is very [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] in appearance, making him very easy to underestimate, which is a useful trait for an assassin. This is a trait he borrows from the character he's based on.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: He gets these whenever he drops his mask and gets serious.
* DumpedViaTextMessage: Essentially how he felt when Yasuyori left him and returned to Yoyogi Academy, following the events of Chapter 10. Needless to say, Tanetomo did not react too well to the news.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon:
* FlowersOfFemininity: He uses floral pins to hold his hair in place in his student attire, while he wears a floral headband/tiara, with pins tucked into his bun, in his geisha persona. Unsurprisingly, they're not [[HiddenWeapons just]] for decorations.
* FreudianExcuse: Like his novel counterpart, Tanetomo's saw his entire family butchered at a young age and their family treasure stolen. This forced him rely on his beauty to survive and seek out the offenders to avenge his family.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His 4-Star implies that he risks being killed either by the very person he's trying to assassinate as a result of his offer to take his sword and stab him with it always being genuine, or by his artifact's ability as a result of how he holds it.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Yasuyori, although Yasuyori don't seem to view him in the same light.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Kills the shinobis sent to assassinate Yasuyori while they were hidden with just a casual flick of his hair pins.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Very much so.
* {{Keigo}}: Uses a very formal speaking pattern as expected of a person with a geisha background.
* KimonoFanservice: His alternative skin has him wearing a beautiful white and fuchsia floral kimono with his right arm, which bears his peony mark, out of its sleeve.
* PsychoPoodle: He is based on the Papillon or Continental Toy Spaniel dog breed and is extremely cunning.
* RageBreakingPoint: Played for laughs, but Tanetomo kicks and destroyed Hombre's speakers after getting annoyed by the blaring music during the ''Nyah! Happy Illusions'' event.
* RapunzelHair: His sandy hair fall is long enough to reach his knees! When performing as a geisha, he keeps it all in a PrimAndProperBun.
* SchmuckBait: Since his sword Sacred Artifact destroys whoever it's pointed at, he uses it for assassination by convincing his target to kill him with it, offering the handle to the mark while he holds the edge of it. The blade will then kill the person if their hearts are moved by Tanetomo's emotional display.
* TheSmartGuy: The virtue he embodies is ''Wisdom'' and he's an adept strategist for the Warmongers. He has enough tactical prowess to lead a vanguard against the Rule Maker's troops.
* SoftSpokenSadist: He always maintains an eerie composure to his voice even when he's in the middle of torturing someone.
* SwordAndGun: His 4* art depicts him with these, with both of their business ends pointing at him of course in order to activate his sacred artifact's power.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Tanetomo's choice of dress is a nod to his character in the original novel, who disguised himself as a woman in order to avoid suspicion in his quest for vengeance.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Boastful Sergeant'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyotaTakeuchi

A Transient from the Land of Wa and a member of the Yoyogi Academy sumo wrestling club in Shibuya Ward. He values the discipline, order, and hierarchy of being part of an organization, and keeps his personal feelings locked up tight. While some in his club admire these qualities, others find him inflexible and insufferably strait‐laced. He tends to clash most violently with bold, rough individuals. On the other hand, he is weak to overt expressions of kindness and to persuasion, and in his inexperience he is quick to promise marriage to others. He has a habit of scratching at his old wounds, and in his struggles with his memories of the past, he has convinced himself that there is nowhere for him but the battlefield. He deeply respects his school's physician and their tireless efforts to look after his mental health.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case TheBigGuy Inuta Kobungo.

* DogsAreDumb: So far the only example of the Hakkenshi who seemed to be behind the door when their progenitor's intelligence was portioned out.
* {{Fanservice}}: Concerning his birthmark. While every other person known to have one has had it on their arm in some way, Yasuyori's happens to be right on his ''butt cheek''. While this is at least accurate with the character he's based on who had it in the same spot, in Yasuyori's case it's played more for fanservice since he almost only ever wears a mawashi below the waist and thus his buttocks are always uncovered. His 4-Star artwork in particular shows this off quite prominently, depicting a low-angle shot of him performing a sumo squat from behind. Most of his alternate skins are similarly revealing, with only the one version of his Christmas outfit giving him a pair of shorts that properly cover his behind.
* {{Foil}}: To Tajikarao, ability-wise, since both their Sacred Artifacts have the ability to reveal hidden secrets, but he believes it's a power that should be used with caution, while Tajikarao uses his power with reckless abandon if he feels someone is hiding something. This is also the main reason Yasuyori dislikes him.

* IAmAMonster: After Tez restored his memories of killing his friends, he believed he was this because he broke his personal promise not to kill on top of killing his friends in previous loops. As a result he left Yoyogi Academy for the Warmongers because he felt they understood what he was going through better than his friends in Yoyogi Academy.

However due to a defeat from a certain point in time, all of his dignity was stripped away and his pride was broken, and in the end he became someone who waited for his death penalty to be carried out within prison.

After being imprisoned in the military academy prison in Nerima, he now works as a combat instructor training death row inmates as soldiers.

* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Balor's origin is most well known for killing his grandchildren out of fear of dying at one of their hands. This Balor is hinted to actually care for them and accepts that it's natural for the old to perish for the world to remain youthful and full of life.
** Backstory-wise, because the unnamed older siblings of Lugh are AdaptedOut, this version of Balor didn't kill any of his grandchildren.
* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Tezcatlipoca, as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives. As a result of that, by the time that Tezcatlipoca was defeated by the protagonist, Balor himself becomes the next target of both the Representatives and Curran's faction to be removed from the board.
** Fortune Festival expands on this. Balor and Tezcatlipoca broke their code of eternal war as to their true goals do not actually align with theirs.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He has the skill and power to back up his status as king of the giants, from his massive strength to his evil eye Sacred Artifact.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite how tough he is, he really love his grandson.
* DeathSeeker: His only goal at Tokyo is to die at the hands of someone, to the point that he accepts all the imprisonments and being used as a tool by the other Representatives. The Fortune Festival heavily implies that the person is Lugh, his grandson and one of the souls inside the protagonist.
* TheDreaded: Feared even among the Warmongers for his strength and battle mindset that doesn't hold back against anyone, and especially his Evil Eye Sacred Artifact that can kill anyone at his gaze. That said, Balor himself considers Shiva and "another person" to hold said title.
* DramaticIrony: Despite being a member of Warmongers, Fortune Festival reveals that he does not share their goal of world of eternal war at all, as he knows that all don't last for eternity and the old must die by the young's hands in order for the world to go forward, and only cooperates with them to follow his own belief.
* GrandpaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Despite his aging years as "grandpa" (per his profile and legend), he is pretty fit and ripped.
* HeroKiller: He successfully offed the protagonist in one of the previous loops, but the act broke his heart so much that he pretty much resigned himself to deathrow.
* HeelFaceTurn: After much prodding from Tezcatlipoca from multiple past loops, Balor decides to follow his own heart by allying himself with the protagonist, protecting them from Shiva's attack.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the maternal grandfather to one of the protagonist's souls, Lugh.
* MagicEye: His sacred artifact is his crimson left eye, which has the power to instantly kill and destroy almost anything that falls under its gaze.
* MismatchedEyes: One blue, one [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]].
* PowerLimiter: His headband and chains function as one.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The hidden eye's color is red, and the source of his destructive power.
* SelfRestraint: When first meeting Balor, he's shown shackled and chained in the Warmonger prison complex. Unlike the other guild members who first undergo this while being indoctrinated, Balor does this willingly due to his devastating powers.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original myth, Balor was killed by his grandson after having his Evil Eye pierced with a slingshot. This Balor on the other hand, never experienced such event as the one who was banished from their world was instead Lugh.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Though he isn't fond of the fact Tezcatlipoca can read his thought like reading a paper, Balor comments that he will sure to leave flowers on Tez's grave in respect if he happens to kick the bucket before him.
* {{Yandere}}: His love declaration is essentially telling the Protagonist that he will deprive them of their everything and love them until his soul perishes.

* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Tezcatlipoca, as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives. As a result of that, by the time that Tezcatlipoca was defeated by the protagonist, Balor himself becomes the next target of both the Representatives and Curran's faction to be removed from the board.
** Fortune Festival expands on this. Balor and Tezcatlipoca broke their code of eternal war as to their true goals do not actually align with theirs.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He has the skill and power to back up his status as king of the giants, from his massive strength to his evil eye Sacred Artifact.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite how tough he is, he really love his grandson.
* DeathSeeker: His only goal at Tokyo is to die at the hands of someone, to the point that he accepts all the imprisonments and being used as a tool by the other Representatives. The Fortune Festival heavily implies that the person is Lugh, his grandson and one of the souls inside the protagonist.
* TheDreaded: Feared even among the Warmongers for his strength and battle mindset that doesn't hold back against anyone, and especially his Evil Eye Sacred Artifact that can kill anyone at his gaze. That said, Balor himself considers Shiva and "another person" to hold said title.
* DramaticIrony: Despite being a member of Warmongers, Fortune Festival reveals that he does not share their goal of world of eternal war at all, as he knows that all don't last for eternity and the old must die by the young's hands in order for the world to go forward, and only cooperates with them to follow his own belief.
* GrandpaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Despite his aging years as "grandpa" (per his profile and legend), he is pretty fit and ripped.
* HeroKiller: He successfully offed the protagonist in one of the previous loops, but the act broke his heart so much that he pretty much resigned himself to deathrow.
* HeelFaceTurn: After much prodding from Tezcatlipoca from multiple past loops, Balor decides to follow his own heart by allying himself with the protagonist, protecting them from Shiva's attack.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the maternal grandfather to one of the protagonist's souls, Lugh.
* MagicEye: His sacred artifact is his crimson left eye, which has the power to instantly kill and destroy almost anything that falls under its gaze.
* MismatchedEyes: One blue, one [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]].
* PowerLimiter: His headband and chains function as one.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The hidden eye's color is red, and the source of his destructive power.
* SelfRestraint: When first meeting Balor, he's shown shackled and chained in the Warmonger prison complex. Unlike the other guild members who first undergo this while being indoctrinated, Balor does this willingly due to his devastating powers.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original myth, Balor was killed by his grandson after having his Evil Eye pierced with a slingshot. This Balor on the other hand, never experienced such event as the one who was banished from their world was instead Lugh.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Though he isn't fond of the fact Tezcatlipoca can read his thought like reading a paper, Balor comments that he will sure to leave flowers on Tez's grave in respect if he happens to kick the bucket before him.
* {{Yandere}}: His love declaration is essentially telling the Protagonist that he will deprive them of their everything and love them until his soul perishes.

!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo

In this Tokyo, Daikoku is known as both the police superintendent as well as the principal for the police academy. He is seen by many as someone who combines both dignity and tolerance as a veteran, and he is highly respected. But on the other hand there is another side to him. That would be his being a black market auctioneer who sells precious goods and stray Transients from other worlds on a large scale. He regrets his past where he once ceded his Role to a certain person, so he is unusually obsessed with maintaining his power. He is always wearing white gloves as if to show everyone around his hands aren't dirty. Daikoku is fond of stepping on and rebuking those who have surrendered to him. He also has a businesslike sense of good will towards people who are aware that they have a certain charm in the marketplace.

* UnusualEyebrows: Energy arcs from both their outer tips.
* VaporWear: His outfit consist of a cape, pauldron, greaves, and a speedo.

* BerserkButton: To put it softly, he really loathes Amaterasu.

* TheHeavy: Despite many of the Warmongers such as Balor and Shiva possessing more powerful and destructive abilities, Daikoku is by far regarded as the most dangerous member of the group despite not being a Representative due to his mysterious background, calculative personality, clear criminal acts, and his goal involving Mahakala of the Great Darkness.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: His connection to Mahakala is not because his Sacred Artifact one belonged to him like the the previous five, but because the the three Sacred Treasures he took from the Susanoo sharing the same role and rule as Mahakala.

** According to Tsukuyomi, if anyone is able to call out his true name, then all of his darkness would lose its power. [[CrazyPrepared That is]], if you know he's actually Okuninushi, otherwise calling him by his host's name does nothing to negate his powers.

He is a hardy soldier that specializes in the bow, and he fights with the Sacred Artifact of 24 battle-signaling arrows that are the incarnation of sunlight. These arrows will always reach wherever the sun shines and can be used as a part of Teda's body. In places known as pyazhu it is believed that he can enter the bodies of people he immediately falls in love with as light and have children.

* AnIcePerson: The aura in his hand has snow floating in it, and lustful boy king who carries the memories his charge skill uses ice in its animation.
* TheDragon: He seems to be this to Perun.
* FashionVictimVillain: His outfit is a skin tight leotard, under a set
of armor with a heavenly emperor. He boasts tabard, one pauldron and boots that there is no look like he's just stepped in wet concrete. Needless to say, it all clashes.
* {{Foil}}: To Horkeukamui obviously. Both are wolf men who took people in to raise heroes to defend their realms only for them to die, and both have ice related abilities. Where Horkeukamui only took
one in person at a time, typically children who had no famly or loved ones, Volkh took children en masse. And where Horkeukamui is shown to have doubts and regrets about his role and ideals on his own, but no clue how to think differently, Volkh has no regrets even though he can't see the world faults in his own logic.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In chapter 9 he soundly defeats Horkeukamui, one of few characters
who doesn't love him, can use both reflect and he is quick nullify debuff. Volkh deals double damage to hold hands any foe with one of those and quadruple to those with both.
* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler: He seemingly summoned the spirits of all Kamui's deceased students and sicced them on him to capture him.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Zig-zaged. He appears completely wolf like, but is described as being born of humans. In addition
he likes. He is has the title of Werewolf Prince.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His distaste for Horkeukamui comes from his intense disagreement for placing the onus of heroism on
a hardy soldier single child, knowing that specializes in the bow, and he fights with the Sacred Artifact of 24 battle-signaling arrows that are the incarnation of sunlight. These arrows will heroes always reach wherever the sun shines and can die early. Volkh instead advocates that all children should be used raised as a part of Teda's body. In places known as pyazhu it is believed heroes. His profile notes that he can enter cannot see the bodies logical failures of people this viewpoint.
* NoSell: He was able to casually nullify Kamui's powers.

he immediately falls in love with as light is essentially everything Kamui hates about himself and have children. He has extremely terrible compatibility with people who would obstruct the grace of the sun.regrets given form.



* HiddenDepths: The reason he chooses to not confront and fight against the protagonist despite it being the Warmongers' modus operandi is because he witnessed that Balor had lost all of his will to live after doing such and killing the protagonist as result, thus refrains from the action in order to not end up like him.
* {{Hunk}}: He is totally ripped despite his youthful look.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: According to his profile, his arrow will always reach its target as long as they're in the world of sunlight. In contrast, it cannot reach the land of night or the ocean depth where there is no sunlight.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: He sympathizes with people who also lost loved ones to the oceans and doesn't get along with people who block the sun, so he give Makara the Friendship buff (since he lost Varuna to the sea as well) and gives Korpokkur the Anger buff (since his leaves can block the sun).
* LogicalWeakness: As a consequence, he can't affect anything that isn't in his light, whether if its blocked or it can't reach. Notably this causes him some grief, since its implied he's lost someone deep in the oceans, where light cannot reach.
* TheOmniscient: Similar to Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, as his world's representative, he's capable of observing everything the light of his Sun touches thanks to his Rule.
* PlayingWithFire: His 3* element, fitting his role as the Sun God.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Use bow and arrow as his weapon of choice.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His default costume has no shirt, only clothing hanging from his hips.
* VagueAge: Appearance-wise, while he titled himself "Boy King", one of his alternate outfits is a modified Gakuran which is traditionally not worn before high school. Adding his musculature and its hard to believe that his age is anything below 13.

Transient from the world of Babel and its Representative, which holds the belief that new life can be reborn from bones. He boasts a name that means Calf of the Sun and is a hero sort of person. By being swallowed up and then spat out by the serpent Mushussu he brings with him, he is able to obtain a new body. That said, it is still a terrifying experience, but as a hero he keeps his screams down as he gets swallowed whole. Mushussu loves Marduk, and swallowing him up is one expression of its affection. The tablet-like thing hanging from his neck is a clay slab with the mandate of heaven written on it, but at present a part of its power is not working correctly. This is based on the contents once carved into it, and Marduk drives out disorder. He sympathizes with the person who is also a child of the sun and an archer.

He is based on the patron god of Babylonia and who presided over storms, justice, compassion, healing, regeneration, magic, and fairness.

A
Transient from the world Land of Babel Wa and its Representative, which holds the belief that new life can be reborn from bones. He boasts a name that means Calf one of the Sun Hakkenshi, bearing the orb of Courtesy. Masanori is constantly thinking about the decorum that divides man and is a hero sort of person. By being swallowed up and then spat out by the serpent Mushussu he brings with him, beast. As such, he is able to obtain a new body. That said, it is still a terrifying experience, but as a hero he keeps diligent person who focuses on history, literature, and psychology in his screams down as attempts to learn about it. It's said that those who come in contact with him have their perspectives up to that point jolted in an instant. In some neighborhoods, he gets swallowed whole. Mushussu loves Marduk, tremendous support as a mentalist. He is also second to none when it comes to tracing the thoughts of victims and swallowing him up is one expression assailants of its affection. The tablet-like thing hanging from his neck crime scenes. Many in the police force believe it's as if he were possessed by the spirits of the dead. Masanori himself would say it's just insufficient to the literary talent he desires. Masanori may be born a dogman, but he was raised and abused by a monster cat. Due to this he has a bit of an identity crisis and spends every day affirming that he is a clay slab with dog. Today is another day that he spends looking for a certain something that will not change even if the mandate values of heaven written on it, but at present a part of its power is not working correctly. This the world suddenly flip around.

Like the other Hakkenshi he
is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case the contents once carved into it, and Marduk drives out disorder. He sympathizes with the person who is also a child of the sun and an archer. He also feels something similar to familiarity towards those who possess artifacts that divide heaven and earth or bear names that relate to that.\\\

He is based on the patron god of Babylonia and who presided over storms, justice, compassion, healing, regeneration, magic, and fairness. He was responsible for slaying the primordial goddess Tiamat and then using her corpse to create the Heavens and the Earth as told in the Babylonian creation myth, [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Enûma Eliš]].
{{Bookworm}} Inumura Daikaku.



* AwesomeButImpractical: Mushussu's regenerative powers can bring Marduk back from the brink of deaht, but it results in Marduk being mind-wiped when completed.
* ChainmailBikini: Wear a golden armor with cape that barely covers anything, then Clothing Damage kicks in.
* EatenAlive: Unfortunately for Marduk, his pet dragon Mushussu likes to do this to him. A lot. Thankfully its powers allows it to regurgitate him in a new body free of injuries. Of course, Mushussu seems to enjoy doing this to his master even when Marduk is not injured.
* FlyingFirepower: Thanks to Mushussu, Marduk can maintain aerial advantage and reposition himself while sniping his opponents from afar.
* HarmfulHealing: Mushussu heals him by eating him, and it's noted that it's not a pleasant sensation.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: To say he is naïve would be an understatement. He readily place his complete trust in those he considers on his side and would never suspect his allies of foul play or deception against him. This bites him when the other members of the Warmongers send him out to the battlefield in order to covertly eliminate him. This attitude might have something to do with the culture of Babel.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The unfortunate side effect of Mushussu's power is that Marduk is reborn in an almost literal sense as his mind is wiped clean as much as his own body is. Every time Marduk is devoured and regurgitated, he mentally regresses to the first moments of his summoning which erases any prior relationships he might have had, forcing him to relearn friend from foe.
* MemoryJar: Subverted. It's implied his pillar is the stone tablet hanging from his neck, but for some reason it's not working at the moment. If it was functional, that would eliminate the drawback of using Mushussu to heal himself.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Has a red dragon companion whose power can rejuvenate Marduk of any wounds by swallowing him whole, healing him, and spitting him back out.
* WorfHadTheFlu: For some reasons, his Mandate of Heaven Clay Tablet's power cannot be utilized properly, and thus is unable to recall the memories from the past loops. Which may be due to Shuichi, given that he is shown to possess a Sacred Artifact with very similar design..
* WeaksauceWeakness: As incarnation of Babel's sun, Marduk's offensive power heavily diminishes during nighttime, especially as against the opponent who draws power from his weakness like Ellie.

!!Yoritomo

[[caption-width-right:350:''Orge Exterminator Commander'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/WataruTakagi

Transient from the world of Wa no Kuni and its Representative. Back home, his childhood name was Onimusha or Oniwakamaru. He is one member of the subsystem that controls the world, The Originator/Minamoto(?). He is also a corporate man who excels at politically defining someone as an enemy and uniting everyone else against them. By changing his weaknesses into many and cutting off ties when the need arises, he can flip around the political game board. Yoritomo loves sumo wrestling contests, and his hobby is sponsoring his favorite sumo wrestlers. He fears falling off of a horse, and he does not feel that moving around much is a good thing. He is greatly feared by those who know his past, especially if they have been given a sword by him. As the mirror image of his younger brother's grown self and the Azuma warriors who followed his brother's example, he despises mirrors.\\\
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like Oniwaka, the game's Yoritomo is implied to be of Oni descent.
* BoomerangBigot: Detest Onis, when it's clear he has Oni blood.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: By his own words, "allies" are just people who're temporary useful to him, which tells a lot about his mindset.
* FantasticRacism: Is implied to hold unnatural amount hatred toward the Onis, Ogres, and Demons. Which is [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritical]], since going by his spectral horns, Oni blood flows in his veins and he's by definition a Transient.
* HornedHumanoid: Similar to Toji, he possesses a pair of spectral horns on his head, hidden by his hat.
* KatanasAreBetter: He wields an ornate katana.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the brother of one of the protagonist's souls, Yoshitsune.
* OneSteveLimit: Played with. Real-life historical fact wise, his childhood name is "Oniwakamaru", which is very similar to "Benkei"'s Oniwaka.
* RageAgainstTheReflection: Implied to have a case of this. Yoritomo's own resemblance to his brother, Yoshitsune, makes it uncomfortable for him to look at himself in the mirror as it reminds him of his regrets for what he has done to his brother.
* ScarsAreForever: Has a large horizontal one across his face.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Has a nasty habit of doing this to his subordinates. Not even his own brother was safe from this as one can recall from Japanese history.

!!Mephistopheles
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mephistopheles_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Shadow Steward'']]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Unmasked]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_mephistopheles01.png]][[/labelnote]]
->Voiced By: Creator/RikiyaKoyama

Transient from the World of Gehenna and its Representative. The infamous demon from the story of [[Myth/{{Faust}} Faust]] who forged a contract with the dissatisfied scholar for earthly pleasures in exchange for the man's soul.

Here Mephistopheles acts as the administration manager of the shadow cabinet within Tokyo's legislative Diet in order further the Warmonger's ambitions.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Mephisto revealed to Duo that he didn't actually become a Representative through banishing someone from his homeworld like all the Reps. Rather, it was actually Lucifer/Shaytan who had granted the title to him before the former had vanished from Gehenna. This has causes some personal awkwardness for Mephisto as he feels out of place compared to his colleagues and their goals.
** Unlike most of the Transients from Gehenna, who were either casted away or fled there, Mephisto was a true native of Gehenna.
* {{Baphomet}}: Mephistopheles is, unsurprisingly, a demonic caprine transient as one would expect of the demon who popularize the idea of demonic contracts.
* BattleButler: His outfit isn't just for show. Mephistopheles was essentially Shaytan's butler back in Gehenna, and then Faust's when he had contracted with the man.
* {{Bishonen}}: Has a quite soft features beneath his mask, compared to Lil'Salomon. Doesn't mean that he isn't capable of NightmareFace though.
* TheBlank: He was originally just a shadow demon, but thanks to the connection between the Player and Lil Sal, Mephisto has since gained a recognizable form.
* BoobsAndButtPose: His 4 star card puts a heavy emphasis on his rather ample assets by putting him in this pose as he exits his mirror portal.
* TheCorruptor: He loves gradually corrupting his contractors and watching them fall further and further from grace as they drown in depravity. Although interestingly, he's also amused by people who seem like easy-to-corrupt types, but are able to stop themselves and resist temptation.
** This is also the reason why he dislike Snow, his anti-thesis as a butler. While Snow raises his charges to be kings and generally nurturing their best qualities in order to mold them into superior individuals, Mephistopheles does quite the opposite. Mephistopheles would rather lavish his charges in decadence and feed their worse traits until they become the worse version of themselves.
* DealWithTheDevil: He's the TropeCodifier and the unique buff he gives is literally called '''Deal with the Devil'''. The buff works in tandem with the debuff '''Price of Contract''' both of which are given by his first skill. While the unit is holding both status, they will receive a whooping 6x multiplier to their attack, 20 CP, and a minor defense boost for 2 turns. Of course, this being a Faustian bargain, there's a catch. While the buff last 2 turns, the debuff last 6 and without the buff, the debuff will activate, causing the unit to take [[DamageIncreasingDebuff extra damage]] and lock skill activation. This means it's critical that the player consistently refresh the buff on the affected unit whenever it expires.
* {{Guyliner}}: Mephistopheles has noticeably dark outlines around his eyes which are likely natural rather than the result of products as similar marks can be seen on the fur on his cheeks.
* TheHedonist: Not him, but what he turns all his summoners into if given the chance, which he'll enjoy every second of.
* IdenticalStranger: Looks very suspiciously similar to a beefed up version of Lil' Salomon. Though his face is less cartoonish than Lil Sal's. Dialogue from chapter 11 implies he's some interconnected piece to Salomon and the Player, but this has yet to be elaborated upon.
** His character bio states his present appearance is merely a reflection of Salomon, who's completely unrelated to him. This might have something to do with his nature as a Shadow and thus a reflection of his masters whose souls currently resides within the Player.
* LostLenore: It's implied that he harbored more than simple interest in Faust, but failed to claim his soul like in [[Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe's]] famous play adaptation of the novel.
* MagicallyBindingContract: His second Sacred Artifact, his infernal contract for making Faustian bargains.
* MagicMirror: His first Sacred Artifact, a light reflecting mirror that allows him to teleport between mirrors.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He's one of the most famous demons in Western literature and wears a stylish mask to hide his uncanny resemblance to Lil Salomon. He ditches the mask in the latter half of chapter 11.
* MeaningfulName: Mephistopheles, He Who Does Not Love the Light, doesn't mean he's [[WeakenedByTheLight weak to light]], rather it references his nature as a Shadow, both figurative and literal, to the light he serves. He is the shadow casted by the shining light of his master's soul.
* MirrorMonster: He has the ability appear from any mirror, which his 4 star art depicts.
* NiceShoes: Wears special shoes that accommodate for his cloven feet; they even have horseshoe-like soles built into the bottom.
* ShoutOut: Mephisto's alternative skin serves as one for his historical portrayals in plays, where his character was often dressed in a crimson jester-like costume and thus became the meme codifier for our depiction of the BigRedDevil today.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Zigzagged. He is the only character whose face is intentionally concealed in the "Infinite Days of Lives" PV.
* SlasherSmile: Flashes these when he's particularly excited.
* {{Yandere}}: He yearns for another chance to drive Faust, and thus the Player to depravity and claim their soul for his own.

Transient from the World of Deva Loka and its Representative.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Snake, though unlike the original myth, the one around his neck is simply a necklace and not flesh-and-blood.
* BeyondTheImpossible: According to Bertro, no Transient possesses the power to destroy their very world. Shiva himself is the exception.
* BlessedWithSuck: Does not take it very well that he was given the power of Love and Desire by Kamadeva, and vows to kill the protagonist who holds the soul of his archenemy.
* ChainmailBikini: His Shiva-Mahakala form features him in a black armor that covers so less that he might as well not wearing anything.
* DecompositeCharacter: As stated in Daikoku's profile, he and Daikoku(ten) aren't the same person.
* TheFaceless: Like Algernon, Shiva hides his face with a helmet.
* FusionDance: Merges with the Exception Mahakala to become the Warmonger's ultimate weapon, Shiva-Mahakala.
* TheJuggernaut: The few story battles against Shiva are all HoldTheLine missions, as Shiva cannot even be actually harmed in these battles.
* MulticoloredHair: Black and white, just like his equivalent, Daikoku, though his is more Shonen-hair variant.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: As per his legend, though they're disembodied mechanical hands here and can transform into two of his clones. The two duplicates of Shiva represents his Past and Future, while he himself represents the Present.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Gains them on his shoulders in his Shiva-Mahakala form.
* ThirdEye: He has a third eye, and if it opens bad things are about to happen.
* ThongOfShielding: Part of his alternate costume, again, like Daikoku.
* UnexpectedCharacter: InUniverse. With Daikoku's mythological origin's association with Shiva, no one expects the original guy himself to appear in the game.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Due to his history with Kamadeva in the past, he is weak against those that share similar power with his archenemy like Shinya, who forces him to flee with the power of Cupid's arrow.

* GoodLuckCharm: The pauldron on his left shoulder was enchanted with the ability to repel “misfortunes”. [[spoiler: He had it commissioned from Hephaestus.]]
* LustObject: He briefly talked about “claiming” Shinya from Temujin if given the chance.
* ManiacTongue: One of his expression is this.
* RapePillageAndBurn: Seemingly his MO and really the MO of his entire guild as per their namesake.
* ShockAndAwe: Energy radiates from his being and he is implied to possess similar powers as Zeus.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His presence in the game is this to the [[spoiler: Greek Pantheon]]. Because of his similar Roles and Rules, [[spoiler: Zeus]] can't directly involve himself in the events of the Game, forcing him to use a proxy in the form of [[spoiler:Cupid]] his stead.

----

* AnIcePerson: The aura in his hand has snow floating in it, and his charge skill uses ice in its animation.
* TheDragon: He seems to be this to Perun.
* FashionVictimVillain: His outfit is a skin tight leotard, under a set of armor with a tabard, one pauldron and boots that look like he's just stepped in wet concrete. Needless to say, it all clashes.
* {{Foil}}: To Horkeukamui obviously. Both are wolf men who took people in to raise heroes to defend their realms only for them to die, and both have ice related abilities. Where Horkeukamui only took one person at a time, typically children who had no famly or loved ones, Volkh took children en masse. And where Horkeukamui is shown to have doubts and regrets about his role and ideals on his own, but no clue how to think differently, Volkh has no regrets even though he can't see the faults in his own logic.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In chapter 9 he soundly defeats Horkeukamui, one of few characters who can use both reflect and nullify debuff. Volkh deals double damage to any foe with one of those and quadruple to those with both.
* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler: He seemingly summoned the spirits of all Kamui's deceased students and sicced them on him to capture him.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Zig-zaged. He appears completely wolf like, but is described as being born of humans. In addition he has the title of Werewolf Prince.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His distaste for Horkeukamui comes from his intense disagreement for placing the onus of heroism on a single child, knowing that heroes always die early. Volkh instead advocates that all children should be raised as heroes. His profile notes that he cannot see the logical failures of this viewpoint.
* NoSell: He was able to casually nullify Kamui's powers.
* ShadowArchetype: As Horkeu Kamui's Shadow, he is essentially everything Kamui hates about himself and regrets given form.

As heir to the leadership of his people, he has been summoned to Tokyo to expand his horizons as well as to build relationships at the Archery club while honing his archery skills. He respects those skilled in archery.
----

* ArcherArchetype: Independent? Check. Arrogant? Big check.
* DefeatMeansRespect: During his Golden Week event, Shinya strikes his fancy and is invited to be a part of his harem. When he declines, Temujin angrily tries to arrange a duel between the two archers with the condition that Shinya be part of his harem if he wins. However, when Shinya throws away an opportunity to win the match in favor of helping Temujin after a coughing fit nearly gets him thrown from his horse Temujin relents, saying his pride would not stand for winning in such a way. Instead, he declares he will win Shinya's heart naturally, agreeing to be [[FriendlyRivalry Friendly Rivals]] for the time being.
* EtTuBrute: He closed himself off emotionally and refuses friendship after being betrayed by his once closest ally, [[spoiler: one of the souls hosted within the protagonist: Jamukha.]]
* HaremSeeker: Will ask anyone that catches his eye to be a part of his harem without the least bit of reservation.
* HeirClubForMen: Due to his SoapOperaDisease, he is extremely open about his desire to have as many children as possible, seeing it as proof that he existed.
* HomosexualReproduction: Capable of this due to his Rule, and is apparently commonplace in his homeland.
* SecretlyDying: Tries to hide his illness, due to his general distrust of others and desire to be independent.
* SoapOperaDisease: Has an unspecified, chronic illness which he expects to die young from.

As such, he is a diligent person who focuses on history, literature, and psychology in his attempts to learn about it.

!!Massive unmarked spoilers bellow! Read at your own risk.
'''(Under Construction)'''

Three Guilds that are aware of the [[GroundhogDayLoop true nature]] of the Game and are lead by World Representatives, Transients that serve as pillars of their respective Worlds, and seek to use the true nature of the Protagonist, an amalgamation of 24 Exiles, for their own purposes. Each guild is assigned their own Genius as their Guildmaster, who in turn is responsible for overseeing and ensuring their Representatives don't deviate from the rules of the Game.

They serve as the major antagonistic force in Book 2, their ceasefire having ended and are now battling each other for the Protagonist in all-out war.

!!The Three Geniuses (Unmarked Spoilers!)
[[folder:General]]
The trio of guildmasters assigned to the Three True Guilds. They are in truth a set of artificial geniuses, clones of the three greatest minds in the Game Masters, each named after 3 of the greatest science-fiction literature writers, [[Creator/IsaacAsimov Isaac Asimov]], [[Creator/RobertAHeinlein Robert Heinlein]], and [[Creator/ArthurCClarke Arthur Clarke]]. All three and their back-ups were created in a series of inhumane and horrific experiments aimed at fusing humans with sacred artifacts in produce subjects with computational powers on par with the greatest supercomputers.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: They all signs of mental instability to varying degrees, highly implied to be the result of being made to record and process the memories from the countless prior loops:
** Curren is an amoral researcher who seems to see others as little more than data for her to catalog.
** Bertro has gone mad from the strain of recording each and every loop, being mechanized didn't help, and now just want to [[DeathSeeker end it all]].
** Asimov's mental state is yet to be elaborated on, but comments from Bertro does not make him out to be a pleasant individual.
* ArtificialHuman: They're clones of famous geniuses who were implanted with artificial World Pillars in order to act as "Recorders/Observers" for the Game resulting in them becoming human/sacred artifact hybrids.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The kids were created in a lab, had artificial Pillars forcibly grafted into them, made to undertake horrific experiments and explicitly treated as tools by the creator rather than people. Their emotions and sense of empathy were also neutered by the researchers in order to make them more ''objective''. In fact, one of the criteria to "graduate" from the program was to demonstrate that they were pitiless creatures of logic and it's highly implied that many of the clones did not make it.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: They all possess tanned skin and white hair.
* EvilGenius: They're smarter than supercomputers, and have little morality, such as Curren's abusive treatment toward Breke.
* ExpendableClone: Duo note that all of the clones, even the Prime Geniuses are considered expandable by the Game's Masterminds. That's why they even have back-ups to begin with; in this case, Duo was to serve as a replacement in case any of the Prime Geniuses could no longer do their job.
* LackOfEmpathy: All of the Prime Geniuses apparently lost their sense of empathy to the experiments conducted on them, which was to ensure that they would faithfully and objectively record the data of the Game. Downplayed and possibly subverted for Duo. While most of his empathy is gone and he can only muster forth the barest sense of pity, he still know right from wrong and is still helping others out of genuine kindness.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: It's implied that none of the Geniuses started off as bad as they are now. The stress from being made to record the countless loops and the knowledge that they were more tools than people in their creator's eyes and potentially meeting and losing the Player to the Game has made them insane and nihilistic.
* PowerTattoo: Unlike other native summoners, all of the clones have their summoner's mark located superior to their sternum or just right under the collar bone.
* PuppetKing: The Geniuses may be guildmasters, but it done solely so that the Game Masters can keep an eye of the World Representatives and don't do anything that breaks the rules of the game. Michel even says that Curren is just a figure head.
* WorldsSmartestMan: Each of them are this, being clones based on greatest minds in science-fiction, and posses computational powers rivaling the greatest supercomputers.
* YouAreNumberSix: Each of the Geniuses's are "Plan-A/B/C" of those who manipulate the game. Duo and Shuichi are also like them, but only Duo was a success as they had believed that he lacked a sense of empathy like his Genius siblings.

!!World Representatives
[[folder:General]]
Powerful Transients within the game that are chosen by their system to represent the highest power in their world; be it through strength, faith, love, connection, or other concepts. They are different from a world's pillars. In some way or form, the Representatives or someone connected to them are the ones to banish the Exiles. Most of these Representatives make up the Three True Guilds that are aware of the time loops and seek to use the protagonist for their own agenda. Currently, 15 of the 23 Representatives have been revealed:
----
* Rule Makers:
** Amaterasu of Takamagahara
** Korpokkur of Kamuy Kotan
** Michael of Eden
** Horus of Aaru

* Warmongers:
** Yoritomo of the Land of Wa
** Shiva of Deva Loka
** Teda of Nirai Kanai
** Balor of Tír na nÓg
** Mephistopheles of Gehenna
** Marduk of Babel
** Tezcatlipoca of El Dorado

* Invaders:
** Perun of Kitezh
** Temujin of Xanadu

* Genociders
** Surtr of Yggdrasil
** Azathoth of Old Ones.

* Currently Unknown:
** Cupid of Olympus
----
* ArcVillain: The Representatives are the main antagonists of Book 2, with their cease fire now over, and going on an all out war for the Protagonist. However, while they play a part with the Exiles that make up the Protagonist, it's the [[GreaterScopeVillain Game Masters who run the show]].
* EnemyCivilWar: Since the Game is a Winner-Takes-All situation, most of the Representatives will readily backstab one another if the opportunity arise. In fact, this was basically how the early loops were played out, with all the Reps gunning for the Protagonist from the get-go or just trying to killing each other in order to lower the competition.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Perhaps a truly horrifying fact is that, despite everything the Reps preach and done. They All Love Us From the Bottom of Their Hearts! If they didn't, then they wouldn't have answered the summoning to Tokyo to begin with. Unfortunately, the love they hold for the Player have driven them to do truly [[LoveMakesYouEvil heinous things]] to the Tokyo residences.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Cupid serves as the odd man to the rest of the Representatives due to the fact that he wasn't involved with exile of Eurynome, and acts as the familiar for Shinya. He's a proxy for Zeus, who is unable to join due to Perun's existence.
* ManOfKryptonite: As the beings who banished the Exiles, they serve as this to keep the Protagonist from being an OP game breaker. They later lose this thanks to the Crafters helping the Protagonist find a way around it.
* RuleOfSeven: There are supposed to be a total of seven Representatives within the each Guild, though Surtr and Azathoth's betrayal and forming of the Genociders subverts this tropes.
* WalkingSpoiler: The Reps are one massive spoiler, as literally everything about them reveals the true nature of both the Game and the Protagonist.

!!Three True Guilds (Unmarked Spoilers)
[[folder:Eastern Rule Makers [[note]]Curren, Michael, Amaterasu, Korpokkur, Horus, Oz[[/note]]]]

!!In General

One of the Three True Guilds comprised of various World Representatives that wish to turn the Protagonist into the System that allows their various worlds to continue existing. In essence, they desire to transform the Protagonist into God, a being that exists solely to serve the whims of others.
----

* CreepyChild: The leadership of the guild look no older than their early teens, yet they all wield immense godly powers and view the protagonist as less a person and more something to be harvested come time.
* HangingJudge: Chapter 10 revealed that the Rule Makers have completely taken over the Judiciary function of the National Diet. The Rulemakers Guild '''is''' Walled Tokyo's Supreme Court now!
* OrderIsNotGood: Implied. The name of their guild alludes to their, or at least Michael's, goal of imposing a new world order/System upon all the Worlds.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: They are all working together to carry out some heinous scheme involving the protagonist as if it was team science project for school. They also have no qualms with fighting and killing anyone in their way. That's before going into their personal issues:
** Michael is a KnightTemplar who believes in UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans.
** Korpokkur is obsessed with keeping the [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo]] of his frozen world.
** Horus wants to tear the Original Seth out of the Protagonist's soul amalgam in order to have a fair and honorable duel to mark his rite of passage to adulthood, consequences be damned!
** Bael and Curren are TheSociopath and LackOfEmpathy, respectively.

!!Curren
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_843.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
->'''Voiced By''':
The leader of the Eastern Guild. Not much is known about her, though she is treated as nothing more than a figurehead among her guild. Once an experiment, she works to get the Protagonist to become the System that will maintain the world.
-->
She is in reality the female clone of famous science fiction writer and genius Creator/ArthurCClarke.
----
* AbusiveParent: Two-fold. Going by Shuichi's comments, the researchers who made them were not particularly kind people. Then there's her relationship to Breke, her creation. She coldly dismisses his emotional anguish and treats him like a mobile computer terminal for data collection, but still have the gall to call herself his ''mother'' and demand his undying respect. When he rejects her demands and flees, she acts like an entitled pet owner.
---> '''Curren''': Breke ran away from me. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She looks similar to Shuichi and Duo with her silvery hair and dark skin. Chapter 10 revealed that they were cloned from similar genetic samples.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Curren reveals to Breke that she too was part of the same experiments that [[ArtificialHuman made]] Shuichi and Duo using the genetic code of a certain set of geniuses.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: She's actually completely aware of it and perfectly fine with leaving all the decision making to Michael, giving her more time to focus on her research.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Temporarily forms one with Duo in Chapter 10 as they go about their data collection.
* DistaffCounterpart: She essentially looks like a GenderFlip version of Duo. After all, they were both cloned by the same researchers.
* EvilTwin: To Duo. For bonus points, Duo's summoner's mark is brighter in color than Curren's.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Duo. While both of them came from the same inhumane experiment that made them emotionally-stunted super-geniuses, their personal actions to others illustrate how Curren is fundamentally evil compare to Duo's inherent goodness.
** Duo treats R-19, who is stated multiple times to be expendable, like he mattered and respect the replicant's choices. Curren on the other hand, treats Breke like a tool and demands that he continue doing a job he clearly hates, without a care of the wolven cyborg's feelings.
* GadgeteerGenius: Has her own robot army, a menacing robot guardian in her full art, and is the Rulemakers' resident tech-wiz.
* GenderBlenderName: Double Subverted. She goes by the name ''Curren'', which is a name typically associated with female characters, but her true name is the same as her genetic source's.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: With Duo. The story even notes that they are near mirror images of each other.
* HumongousMecha: Called the [[RedBaron Transcendent One]] by Curren. While smaller than typical building size mechas, her guardian is still huge as they typically carry their master in just one palm.
* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: Curren is in control of a host of mecha ready, willing, and able to carry out the whims of their master.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: She constantly wears one. This serves to {{foreshadow}} her connection to Duo.
* LackOfEmpathy: She rather callously responded to Breke's identity crisis in the finale of chapter 10 by revealing that she was made in a lab too; finding it difficult understand why he would be so heart-broken over his apparent lack of humanity and would rather he just be cooperative and hand her his gathered data. Justified, Chapter 11 revealed that creator of the Geniuses wanted them to be as objective and focus on their goals as possible; thus their ability to empathize was destroyed during their gestation process.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Her summoner's mark is located superior to her sternum, again a trait shared by all her clone siblings.
* ModestyShorts: Wears what appears to be bike shorts under her lab coat.
* SinisterScythe: The Transcendent One wields one.
* SquishyWizard: She has the physical strength you would expect of someone her size, the issue is getting past her robot army if you want to land a hit on her.
* TheStoic: Her expression very rarely changes from its default look of utter disinterest. Turns out she doesn't have any real emotions.
* SuperIntelligence: She was made to have the intelligence and computational power on par with a super computer, as was all of her other ''siblings''.
* UterineReplicator: She casually reveals her origin to Breke in the finale of chapter 10. She and likely Duo along with Shuichi were literal "test-tube babies".
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: A heart as devoid of moral constraint as hair devoid of colors, with a not-so-positive attitude about free will and cooperation to boot. This is also one of the features shared between all the Genius clones.
* YouAreNumber6: Cross with MeaningfulName, the first letter of her name also indicates the order of her creation; specifically, Curren is third one created.
----

!!Michael
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_michael01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Title unknown]]
->'''Voiced By''':
God's right hand and the de facto leader of the Eastern Rule Maker Representative guild. An archangel of supreme power, he seeks to make to the protagonist into a System for the benefit of Eden.
----
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to the protagonist's Abel.
* AChildShallLeadThem: He's the world representative of Eden and despite not being the guild master, he's essentially the Eastern Guild's de facto leader.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler: Yes, make no mistake, Michael still holds affection for Shaytan even now and even pities all the terrible time loops the protagonist must endure. However, Michael is still bent on turning them into a System, regardless of his own feelings for them.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: Even now, after countless eons, Michael remains puzzled as to why Shaytan chose free will over surrendering himself and becoming a Representative to serve the majority of Eden.]]
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Golden blond hair, and wearing a pristine white suit, as fitting the Right Hand of God.
* HairWings: He has fringes on the side of his head that resembles folded wings.
* HolyHalo: He has 2 of them, technically 3, since the halo on top of his head is a double-layered one, while the other halo floats around his left ankle.
* {{Jerkass}}: He’s shown himself to be a cruel and merciless person. One of his first acts onscreen is [[spoiler: impaling Babalon and Surtr with dozens of angelic spears ForTheEvulz]].
* LightEmUp: He fires spears of pure light to attack.
* LightIsNotGood: Despite being God's Right Hand and an archangel, when Michael first appeared he gleefully expressed his desire to [[spoiler:sacrifice the protagonist for his cause and mercilessly impaled the weaken Babalon and Surtr.]]
* MemoryJar: [[spoiler: Zig-zagged. Like other World Representatives, Michael is in possession of a Pillar from his respective world, being the Trees of Life and Knowledge from Eden, and he could theoretically use it to recover his memories from past time loops. However, mysteriously, Eden hasn't allowed the Trees to manifest in Tokyo yet. This forces him to receive memories from his fellow guildmates' Pillars to keep up-to-date on the situation in Tokyo.]]
* PureIsNotGood: [[spoiler: The epilogue of Canaan implies that Michael genuinely believes that his actions will result in the salvation of all the worlds, his childish naivete shielding him from the guilt of his more callous and cruel actions.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: [[spoiler: Gabriel identifies him as Michael at first. He snaps back at her, calling her a loser and a fool for hanging out with a guild.]]
* SinisterMinister: His entire outfit is reminiscent of a church pastor, complete with a stole resting on his shoulders. Of course the sinister part comes in when you hear how he describes the protagonist like a science experiment instead of as a living person.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler: If he can create a perfect System that will unite all worlds under one harmonious order, then he would gladly sacrifice even his own brother to do it.]]
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Wears a pristine suit in all his appearances so far and is incrediably ruthless.
* VillainRespect: He's nothing but polite to Arsalan when he visits him, mainly because his Sword Sacred Artifact was the one Michael originally gave to Solomon.
* VillainTeamUp: Seems to be in a mutual alliance with Amaterasu if their interactions so far is any indication.
* WalkingSpoiler: His introduction in Chapter 8 marks a major reveal and turning point in the plot.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Canaan event reveals that [[spoiler: Michael genuinely believes that damning the protagonist to an eternity as the new System/God of the worlds will prevent another Biblical Flood, which unlike the Time Storm in Tokyo will destroy and recreate everything from scratch.]]
* WingedHumanoid: The narrative say he sprouts his wings during his introduction at the end of chapter 8, but we have yet to see them in his official art.
----

!!Amaterasu
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_amaterasu01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
->'''Voiced by''':
The [[UsefulNotes/{{Shinto}} Shinto]] goddess of the sun and the universe, ruler of Takamagahara, the heavenly realm of the gods of Japanese myth and the elder sister of Tsukuyomi and Susanoo.
----
* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]]: Narration implies Ammy does not have the most generous opinions regarding her younger brothers, especially Susanoo. Yet it can't be said she has no love them, as she grew distress once she lost Tsukuyomi's signal when he was swallowed up by Daikoku's darkness.
* CompanionCube: Her [[MemoryJar Pillar]] sacred artifact takes the form of the Amano-Iwato Stone, the boulder she used to seal the entrance of the Amano-Iwato cave where she hid herself from Susanoo after his rude behavior offended her. The stone's unique ability allows her and any designated companions to hide themselves away in a PocketDimension, safe from even the powers of Mahakala.
* CondescendingCompassion: Implied. She seems view the people of as unfortunate sheeps that needs to be sheltered and guided by her will.
* EnergyWeapon: Her primary method of offense.
* {{Fainting}}: She does this at the very memory of her brother Susanoo! [[spoiler: And since he's one of the Protagonist's souls, this means that we are also a source of [[TraumaButton frustration]] for her.]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Was effectively empress of both the Japanese heavenly and earthly realms and used her immense powers to keep tabs on everyone, thus eliminating any sense of privacy in her home world.
* HolyHandGrenade: Her sacred artifact, the Yata no Kagami, the sacred regalia of Japanese lore allows her to fire devastating laser beams that burn her victims using their sins. Interestingly, this is similar to how Arc’s sacred artifact affects their opponents.
* HolyHalo: Her mirror levitates behind her head making it look like a halo, which is rather fitting as she is a god.
* LightIsNotGood: The Shinto Goddess of the Sun and the Universe and one of the game's most powerful antagonist.
* MagicMirror: She fittingly wields one of the 3 Imperial Regalia of Japan, while her sibling possess the other two. Her Yata no Kagami or Eight-Span Mirror floats behind her head like a halo at all times and is capable of unleashing devastating sun beams on command.
* {{Miko}}: Seems to be the inspiration behind part of her design.
* MistressAndServantBoy: The Mistress to Oz, her servant boy.
* NiceToTheWaiter: She is rather cordial to Oz, her assistant.
* NonUniformUniform: Her school uniform is pretty standard fair, save for her sleeves which are more in line with a miko's robe.
* TheOmniscient: The Virtual Summer Event revealed that this was how she kept the denizens of Takamagahara in line as its Representive/Ruler. The World granted Amaterasu the ability to know every event and going-on in Takamagahara, which means that she [[BigBrotherIsWatching knew everyone's secrets]] and no one was willing to overstep their bounds or go against her, lest their shame be revealed to the whole world. No one, except for [[TheHedonist Susanoo]] of course.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: She is a solar deity and can smite her enemies with sun's wrath.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: [[RapunzelHair Long]] dark hair to compliment skin the color of egg-shells.
* SensorCharacter: She can sense the general location of both her brothers in Tokyo at all times. That's why she was a little distressed when she lost Tsukiyomi's presence during his battle with Daikoku in chapter 10.
* TheShutIn: True to her legend, the trauma that Susanoo had inflicted on her has left a bit of shut-in. While she is willing to go outside to perform her duties, she will quickly retreat back to her quarters once she is done.
* SilkHidingSteel: A delicate looking girl, who also has the ability to fire laser beams.
* SquishyWizard: Despite her great powers, Amaterasu has the stamina of a paper cup. It's an accomplishment for her to stand ''10 minutes'' straight!
* TheStoic: She rarely shows her emotions and prefers to get to the point when talking others.
* StudentCouncilPresident: Going by her dress and the arm-band, she is this.
* TopGod: She is this for the Japanese Heavenly Pantheon, Takamagahara.
* TraumaButton: The memories of her brother, Susanoo.
* VillainTeamUp: She and Michael seems to be in cahoots with one another. Chapter 11 implies they have a close working relationship and are observing the other Representatives.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Calm, patient, and equally graceful.

!!Korpokkur
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_korpokkur01_skin1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Scout Troop Leader'']]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/JunkoTakeuchi

This Transient is the World Representative of Kamui Kotan, a frozen world preserved forever in ice. Ordinarily, he would only be visible to children short enough to peek beneath the Leaf he bears, but in Tokyo, he is visible even to full-grown adults. Whenever Korpokkur discovers a community of children, he plants leaves like his own in the ground to propagate, and with the coming of spring, the land blossoms into a sanctuary ideal for them to dwell in. However, as the seasons turn, those children outgrow the leaves that sustain their lives and become blind to Korpokkur hiding beneath them. Eventually, their guardian departs, the rivers run dry, the fauna despoils, and the land becomes harsh and barren once more. Even so, Korpokkur loves the young and innocent from the bottom of his heart, and it is his wish to create a paradise for these children that brings him to Tokyo. A past incident has led him to despise those who rifle through the foliage to disturb what hides within.
----
* AnIcePerson: His sacred artifact can generate violent blizzards capable of freezing his enemies with the only safe spot in the death-zone being under his butterbur leaf.
* EvilCounterpart: Is seemingly set-up to be one for Chernobog. While both of them have similar [[AnIcePerson powers]], Chernobog couldn’t initially restrain his powers from automatically activating and killing anyone who set foot on his mountain and was deeply troubled by his lack of control. Korpokkur on the other hand, is quite in control of his powers and judging from his voice lines, very willing to use them.
* FalseUtopia: The System that Korpokkur wants to create is one of AmbiguousInnocence: he prizes that state, and would seek to create a world where there are no adults, only children in various stages of physical development. His World of Kamuy Kotan is essentially a prototype version of his ideal, as while he can't stop the children from becoming adults, he can continually "[[EternalRecurrance reset]]" the world so that, sociologically speaking, no growth can happen.
* FertileFeet: He’s capable of revitalizing the land by planting giant butterburs in that area allowing it to become habitable, but only if there are children there. Once all the children have grown up, Korpokkur will leave the area and take all his life-giving butterburs with him.
* IcyBlueEyes: [[IncrediblyLamePun What]] else did you expect of a character who could conjure deadly blizzards on a whim? Overlaps with [[OccultBlueEyes Occult blue eyes]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His sacred artifact is a giant butterbur leaf that could pass as a beach parasol.
* InvisibleToAdults: One of his powers. Unfortunately, as his invisibility is only limited to adults, leading to a child finding him one day.
* {{Invisibility}}: By waving his butterbur leaf around himself, he can turn invisible.
* IrrationalHatred: He was exposed one day by a child who grew too curious and pushed away the leaf he was hiding under. He grew to resent this person. He also has a cold hate for those who [[CharacterDevelopment change]], intentionally or otherwise, as he intentionally triggers a collision with Kamuy Kotan during the "Onsen Jamboree" event, merely to get revenge on Kimun Kamui who had begun to question his Role in Kamuy Kotan's System.
* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler:His invisibility and ice powers mean little to nothing against Jacob who not only has TrueSight, but also Uriel's fiery blade as his sacred artifact. Thankfully for Korp, Jacob was only there to speak with him instead of looking for a fight.]]
* TronLines: Found on the bottom portion of the butterbur’s stem. Similar marks have been found on other sacred artifacts, but it’s currently unknown what they are.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His cute child-like appearance and quirks belies a far colder and savage personality that espouses the creation of a world where “happy and innocent children” can live in peace, while at the same time voicing his joy that Michael’s gaze possesses a “cold and merciless” quality to it, a trait he would like in all kids.
* WalkingWasteland: Once all of the children on his land mature into adulthood, Korpokkur will uproot all the giant life-giving butterburs and leave the area, reverting the land back to an inhospitable wasteland.
----
!!Horus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_horus01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Administrative Officer Of Justice'']]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/ShoNogami

A Transient from the world of Aaru who stands at its top, has run away, and covers his left eye. After being summoned to Tokyo, he is a judiciary elite who strives in his duties as a policeman while also being a student. Personality-wise he is extremely serious, and he honors justice and fairness. He follows household rules and does as he is told, and oftentimes it seems he has a lot going on in his head. At the same time, he also hates being referred to as young master and being valued for all the things he had for being born. Horus was born a sickly child, but he is a hard worker who tempered his mind and body through putting great effort in discipline. He was once caught up in a power struggle that came from interfamily strife with the uncle he once respected. His being made to win at the hands of the adults around him is a bitter memory to him. Horus has a tendency to get irritated when shown to be a superior through his efforts and better than his uncle. Also, he has something like disgust for the person who goes around using his uncle's name.
----
* AntiVillain: Despite being on the opponent's side, he loves and respects his uncle Seth, the Exile from his world. He goal is to free Seth from the Protagonist, and face them in combat to ascend to adulthood.
* BackFromTheDead: His ankh staff allows him to revive the dead, as the ankh symbolizes life, restoration, and resurrection in Egyptian mytholoy. When used together with his second artifact and Pillar, the Pillar of Djed, the coffin that originally held his father's severed corpse, it allows Horus to revive an army of loyal mummy soldiers.
** It's heavily implied Horus intents to tear the Seth aspect from the Player's soul amalgam and then attempt to revive him in order for Horus to have a redo at his fated duel with his uncle.
* BirdPeople: Like in myth, Horus appears as a muscular falcon transient with clawed hands and avian feet.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Being a major god, Horus' wear a lot of golden accessories to compliment his dark blue and white feathers.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: His character relationship chart shows that he is affable to [[DevilInPlainSight Bael]] and [[TheSociopath Korpokkur]]...
* {{Necromancer}}: Can use his powers to raise hordes of mummies to do his bidding.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Horus is rather fond of lettuce and his bio states he love share the leafy green with his love ones. Unfortunately, for the those verse in Egyptian mythology, Horus has rather [[IAteWhat mature association]] when it comes to lettuce...
* UnusualEars: Despite being an otherwise falcon-esque transient, Horus a pair of feline ears atop his head.

!!Oz
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_oz01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Stargazing Lion'']]
[[quoteright:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his alter-ego]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_oz01_skin1.png Zo]][[/labelnote]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/TsuyoshiKoyama

This Transient comprises two Lion Therians in one body: the hesitant and cowardly Oz, and his polar opposite, the brash and intimidating Zo. Only the most robust of vessels could accommodate two such fully developed personalities, and so, on a conceptual level, their shared body is impervious to harm from any weapon. In their home world, the pair lived lives of solitary kingship, with one ruling a forest and the other a deep gorge, but they lamented their fates, and so the light of the Transient brought them to Tokyo. The cowardly Oz dreams of one day becoming an astronaut, and indeed their Role dictates that one day they will leave the earth behind to shine amongst the stars, but the two disagree to this day about what exactly will lead them there.

Based on the Cowardly Lion from [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz The Wizard of Oz]] and The Nemean Lion from [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myth]]. They are currently under the employ of Amaterasu.
----
* AcademicAthlete: They are by no means Amaterasu's DumbMuscle. Oz dreams of becoming an astronaut and Chapter 9 implies he regularly visits Kurogane and collaborate on building working model rockets with him.
* TheBigGuy: Physically strong as his muscular build would imply which helps compensate for his mistress' physical frailty.
* CowardlyLion: He is the TropeNamer with one of his skills even called ''Courageous Coward''.
* TheDragon: To Amaterasu.
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Wears a ring on almost every finger.
* {{Expy}}: His sacred artifact and [[SplitPersonality dual personality]] makes him one to [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Dr. Jekyll]].
* {{Foil}}: As noted above, barring their personalities, both Oz and Zo were kings who ruled in Olympus, both felt LonelyAtTheTop, and as their 4-Star revels, both had the exact same Role and, if the statement is taken at face value, both possibly faced the same fate of the Nemean Lion of Myth. It's heavily implied that for this reason that they were put into one body when they were summoned.
* GoalInLife: He dreams of becoming an astronaut and reaching the stars. Seems only fitting he's serving a sun goddess.
* MistressAndServantBoy: The servant to his lady, Amaterasu. The two seem to have a rather friendly relationship.
* MythologyGag: Their 4 star version depicts the pair sitting on a (not yellow) brick road, while the crystal spires of the Emerald City can be seen behind them.
* NighInvulnerability: Naturally, considering he's based on the Nemean Lion. It's this attribute of their body that makes Oz and Zo's situation possible.
* PeekABangs: Oz's bang obscures the left side of his face.
* RedOniBlueOni: The courageous and boisterous Zo to the meeker, and more soft-spoken Oz.
* TheReliableOne: They're always there to catch Amaterasu whenever she has a fainting spell, either from [[TraumaButton remembering]] her brother or from over-exerting herself.
* ScrewDestiny: Their 4-Star states that their Role was to die at the hands of a great hero and be turned into a cloak, but it was changed when they were summoned to Tokyo. This is supported by the fact that the game's incarnation of Heracles, despite being at the point of his life where he should be performing the 12 Labors, is not shown wearing the Nemean Lion Pelt.
* SharingABody: As a result of an unknown event when they were summoned to Tokyo, Oz and Zo share a body. Unusually, this is in contrast to how the Game usually deals with two individuals with same Roles and Rules, namely that only one is Summoned and other is blocked.
* SuperSerum: Their Sacred Artifact, an emerald flask which contains the drug that allows them to switch personalities. Notably, it's stated to be a side effect of the flask, and its true power is unknown.
* VillainsOutShopping: Granted the Player had no idea Oz was actually in-league with the Rule Makers at that point, but the lion therian does show up in Chapter 9 to meet with Kurogane at the Crafter's guild for their model rocket testing.

!!Bael
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_bael01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Demonic Public Prosecution Student'']]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/HirokiGoto

Demon noble Transient from Gehenna who has an ever present and unshakable calm smile. He is part of a law school in Tokyo, and he is already working in the judiciary branch as a student prosecutor. Bael believes those of noble class hold duties fit for that level and has a unique belief in being a demon. Perhaps because of this he's often seen making vile uttering even when unnecessary for whatever is going on. Those who realize this is limited to a certain person of equal lineage who has associated with him since infancy and scant few others. He once held the highest rank on the hierarchy of demons listed under the Hexagram Contract. This does not apply to all demons from Gehenna as demon nobles of even higher rank than he exist. Bael brags about being the one who hates the faith of Eden the most, but paradoxically the fact that it also supports his mightiness can only be described as irony.

----
* AmoralAttorney: He is a prosecutor and quite amoral.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Bael's a King of Gehenna and a sadistic monster out only for himself.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's ranked 1st in the Goetia and while he's not the highest rank among all demons, he holds a great deal of both personal and political powers.
* TheBadGuyWins: Heavily downplayed. Although his scheme to cheat the Reps using the Canaan Recreation failed, Bael still managed to obtain a portion of his original self's power and status. How this will ultimately benefit him is still unknown.
* CarryABigStick: As the Canaan story continues, Bael is given his counterpart's weapons by Kothar, a pair of magic clubs called Yagrush and Ayamur. He grows attached to using them, as they are the physical symbols of his status as Canaan's Representative, which proves to be a grave mistake as it allowed Astaroth to engage him without worry of his greater Goetian rank overpowering her.
* CastingAShadow: He's an Infernal unit, which also doubles as DarkIsEvil.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Attempted to cheat all of the legitimate Representatives in Tokyo by trapping the Player in a recreation of Canaan and then becoming a Representative himself by fusing with his original divine alter-ego in order to claim the Player and then returing back to Tokyo victorious without fear of interference from the other Reps. Unfortunately for Bael, the actors he had ''chosen'' for his recreation and the Player decided to overthrow him the moment he revealed the truth to them.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: His voice is a noticeably high tone with a tendency to elongate certain portions of his speech as if he is savoring his words.
* DealWithTheDevil: The first Goetian demon to make an on-screen deal. The events of Canaan plays this trope straight, showing just why Faustian Contracts are a terrible idea, especially contracts struck with a conniving monster like Bael.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:Want to find out whatever happened to Canaan? Sure, he'll show you what happened. Down to every last murder, death, and destruction that befell its citizens.]]
* FusionDance: His real goal when he offered to help Dagon uncovered the truth of Canaan's fate. Bael would merge with Baal, his original self and a Canaanite wind deity, in the Canaan event and play his role. That way, Bael would attain the status and power of World Representative by proxy when Baal is awarded the status. The bio entry for his 5-star version implies he has partially succeed despite the utter failure of his Canaan scheme.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Being the demon he is, Bael's benefits will come with a steep cost. This is demonstrated in game with his "Seeker/Devotion to Burnt Offerings" skills, which has a high chance of buffing his allies, while also draining their health if it succeeds. His 3 stars' "Seeker" version only grants an atk buff and drain 600 points of health, while his 5 stars' "Devotion" version grants both an atk and def buff and drain 1000 points of health.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: His sacred artifact are his four pairs of shimmering shadow wings. They have the power to show Bael his victim's [[YourHeartsDesire greatest desires]] and by devouring their memory of it, his wings can make manifest those desires.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Weaponized. Bael's first two skills, "Exposer" and "Impertinence", not only cripple enemies when they have status buffs, but also deal extra damage to them per buff!
** His obsession with being a Representative and refusal to use to his Goetian powers allowed Astaroth to stall him long enough for the heroes to arrive and defeat him despite his Goetian rank normally being higher than hers.
* IdenticalStranger: Downplayed. Looks almost exactly like Seth, save for their color scheme and his glasses. This is due to both Seth and Bael having mythological origins in Baal from Canaanite mythology.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: The reflections in his wings on his 5-star unit art shows him for what he really is behind his thin veneer of sophistication. An envious, vicious, and sadistic monster who care for no one but himself.
* NeatFreak: He hates getting dirty and gets along well with people who likes to keep clean, like Algernon. His pristine and pressed suit as much for his vanity as it's for his sanity.
* ObviouslyEvil: It can't get anymore obvious than having literal demon horns, holding a whip and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking being a lawyer]].
* PerpetualSmiler: His calm, conceited smile rarely leaves his face and is noted in his profile.
* RedBaron: King of Burnt Offerings.
* ThisCannotBe: His defeat line, complete with screams of indignation and MadnessMantra.
* TooCleverByHalf: Make no mistake, Bael is a very patient and devious mastermind. Unfortunately, his sheer arrogance overshadows his intellect resulting in the demon overestimating himself and how much control he actually has over the situation. [[spoiler:Case in point, his meticulous SadisticChoice endings in the Canaan recreation failed to account for the protagonist's frequent TakeAThirdOption and their ability to invoke this in their friends.]]
* UpperClassTwit: He halts from an aristocratic background back in Gehenna and is apparently still very much a member of society's upper echelon here in Tokyo and he will obnoxiously remind you of his higher status if given the chance.
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Bael's student uniform is a well-kept naval uniform with a hankerchief folded and tucked in its left breast pocket, another symbol of his decadent wealth.
* WhipItGood: He wields a stylized riding crop, which both illustrates his true authoritarian nature and his sadism.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: A more villainous example than most. Bael believes that power comes with obligations and duties that have to be performed, even if they are not necessarily pleasant. He informs Astarte of this in the Canaan event, much to her dismay. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Of course]], this is all lip-service. The finale of Canaan makes it clear that once Bael has the power and status he desires, he would rather lord it over everyone than take any actual responsibility.]]

[[folder:Western Warmongers [[note]]Bertro, Tezcatlipoca, Hombre Tigre, Shennong, Avarga, Tanetomo, Yasuyori, Marduk, Yoritomo, Mephistopheles, Shiva[[/note]]]]

!!In General

One of the Three True Guilds led by World Representatives dedicated to the ideal of eternal war and battle, who wish to utilize the nature of the game to fight forever.

----
* BloodKnight: Their guild motto. All members are encouraged to train and wage war on all outsiders.
* EnemyCivilWar: As of Chapter 11, this is the case with the Warmongers' status during the current loop.
** Tezcatlipoca and Balor, who are against the Warmongers entering endless treaties and ceasefires with the other two guilds and want to fight against them directly. [[spoiler:Which is, not exactly the case, as they no longer wanting to fight against the protagonist whom they've grown to care about.]]
** Shiva's goal doesn't goes with the others', as he wants to destroy the protagonist, not claiming them as a trophy.
** Bertro, the Guild Master, Daikoku, Yoritomo, and Mephistopheles decide to perform their own plan of "[[ColonyDrop dropping the moon down on Kabukicho]]" [[spoiler:''without'' informing Marduk, Teda, and Shiva who are assigned in the battles at said area.]]
** Lastly, [[spoiler:according to Amaterasu, one of the Representative is TheMole for the Rule Makers Guild.]]
* NotBrainwashed: The recruited members of Tezcatlipoca's faction weren't brainwashed into joining, but joined on their own term, that is, by being shown the ''carefully selected'' memories of them killing their loved ones (without given any context of how it happened) in the past loops.
* WarIsGlorious: The guild seems to have this ideology, and serves as the core of their intention; an endless battle without end. Ironically, the members actually hold [[WarIsHell resentment to this]].
* WarIsHell: Some of the members actually hate to go on with the endless war philosophy, knowing that there is nothing to gain from such destructive action, but feel that they have to place to go back to after being shown memory of them killing their loved ones in the past loops.
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: Balor reveals that the Warmongers have two "ultimate weapons" that they can bring out should the battle enters the dire stage. The first is Deva Loka Representative Shiva, who is considered incomplete. The other is Mahakala, the Exception whose existence bridges between the world of Deva Loka and Shangri La and is connected to Daikoku. [[spoiler:These two can fuse to become Mahakala-Shiva, the Warmonger's true ultimate weapon.]]

!!Bertro
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/berto.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Machine Child'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/HarunaIkezawa

Guild master of the Warmongers, and one of the three Geniuses, specifically based off of Robert A. Heinlein. A teen whose body has been heavily modified to contain the memories of pervious loops, he rides a mechanical wolf to battle.
----
* AgeLift: This Robert A. Heinlein is only a teen at most, compared to his historical counterpart.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Thanks to the vast computational powers granted to him, Bertro can perfectly calculate the exact procedures needed to knock the moon out of orbit and have it fall dead-center on Tokyo for his grand finale.
* BadassAdorable: While his default mode is CreepyChild, his shy sprite is a full on luminescent face.
* BodyHorror: Tears out his own heart/hard-drive that contains all of the loop data he has accumulated and a piece of Mononobe/King Solomon's ego straight out of his own chest before giving it to the Player after his defeat.
* CreepyChild: His default mode. This is the result of his mental deterioration from being mechanized and forced to live through so many loops in order to record all the senseless tragedies.
* {{Cyborg}}:
** His body was heavily mechanized into his current form, though he still explicitly possesses organic parts.
** His wolf mount is a modified form of [[spoiler:Geri, Breke's brother]].
* DeathSeeker: His true reason for awakening Mahakala and using the god's powers to draw the moon toward Tokyo. Bertro has grown tired of all the death, destruction, and misery in Tokyo and being made to record it all. So he had planned to create the greatest battle in Tokyo and for its conclusion, he would drive the moon down onto the city, crushing everything and everyone underneath its mass, which would result in an Enclosed Space without the chance of a loop reset.
* DualBoss: He is fought at the finale of chapter 11 along side Mahakala.
* HumanoidAbomination: If his appearance hasn't clued you in, he looks far more monstrous than his other known "siblings" from the same experiment.
* InsistentTerminology: He prefer to be called "Bertro" as oppose to his given name, "Robert", as in his mind, [[ThatManIsDead Robert is gone.]]
* MadnessMantra: Babbles his name when excited, a sign of his deteriorating mental state.
* MagneticWeapons: He's electronically linked to a massive railgun located in his lab back at the Warmongers' HQ. It's his trump card and powerful enough to knock the moon out of orbit.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Though it's more a case of YouGottaHaveBlueHair, he, like his "siblings" Shuichi, Duo, and Curren, have white hair.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Robert A. Heinlein, an American sci-fi author, aeronautical engineer, and Naval officer.
* SdrawkcabName: His name is "Robert" with the two syllables switching around.
* ThatManIsDead: Highly implied to be reason why he prefer people call him "Bertro" as oppose to Robert.
* WalkingArmory: Those barrels on Bertro's mount aren't for show. The researchers who mechanized him outfitted him with an immense number of weaponry and self-defense tools in order to safeguard the data he holds.
* YouAreNumberSix: Is "Plan-B" of those pulling the strings behind the game.

!!Tezcatlipoca
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_tezcatlipoca01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Frontline Commander'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/TakehitoKoyasu

This Transient from the world of El Dorado is one of the leaders of the Warmongers, the guild controlling West Tokyo. His luchadores, who have dedicated themselves to his worship back in their home world, are never far from the vanguard in battles against other guilds. Although he always seems in high spirits, he is also calm and collected. He maintains a fervent belief in the act of sacrificing one's body to war for the sake of the world. When his home world was created, he first lost his right leg, followed soon by almost all of the rest of his body. Because of this, his apparent body now is nothing but a false image reflected in his Mirrors, and he can change it at will. He also enjoys altering his shape depending on the circumstances, transforming into various forms to keep his opponents guessing. As he is skilled at night warfare, he often takes the form of a nocturnal spider, although the evident enjoyment he finds in this tends to confuse those of his subordinates whom he has turned unwillingly into spiders, who don't see the attraction. He has a hard time with opponents that don't rely on sight, as his tricks will not work on them.
----
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The body you see in game is just a projection, his real body no longer exists, having been sacrificed via El Dorado's system.
* ArcVillain: Of chapter 10.
* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Balor, [[spoiler:as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives.]]
* BloodKnight: Practically embodies this trope. He enjoys and lives for battle, especially those with prices that cannot be repaid. As his World's faith was built upon warfare, Tezcatlipoca revels in the acts of battle and considers the most brutal forms of combat and war to be the greatest expression of love from one to another.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Tez loves war, especially war that have no obvious victors and is equally deleterious to everyone involved. He and his sibling were born to conflict and it is one of the first things he could remember. To Tezcatlipoca, the act of war and conflict is a way for everyone to connect to one another.
* DramaticIrony: He is one of the Representatives of a guild that pushes for the world of endless war, [[spoiler: but the truth is that he has long since become disillusioned with the philosophy following the banishment of his younger brother Quetzalcoatl from his world, and his true wish is much more simple: he just wants a chance to see his younger brother again once more. Notably, the other Representatives took note of this, and branded him as one of the least trustworthy of them after Surtr and Azathoth.]]
* TheGeneralissimo: He has a military commander's uniform that looks like the textbook example of a South American dictator. This is only fitting as he is a South American god.
* MagicMirror: His artifact is the smoking mirror. It can be used to implant parts of himself into others, like with Hombretigre, project his body as it once was and, as it is a world pillar, implant memories pertaining to battle and conflict. This mirror motif even [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration carries over to gameplay]]: He can reflect debuff, inflict possession causing his enemies to attack the other way, and disorient his enemies with darkness and dazzle to reduce their fighting capabilities.
* MentalWorld: Doubles as MirrorWorld. He can bring his victim's consciousness into his mirror and recreate scenes using the memories of everyone involved, albeit the recreations are noticably more dreary and monochromatic than the memories they are based on.
* NecessarilyEvil: How he sees his warmongering and part of the reason behind his WarIsGlorious mindset. Tezcatlipoca and his brothers, particularly Quetzacoatal, formed the world of El Dorado by waging war against and defeating the primordial monster Cipactli. Tezcatlipoca saw that the world began with war and sacrifice, so he concluded that only war and sacrifice could sustain his world. This led him to wage war against his own brothers in hopes that such conflict would provide the faith needed to keep El Dorado alive.
* PantheraAwesome: Tezcatlipoca originally looked like a muscular winged black-panther before sacrificing his form for the sake of El Dorado. The black panther is of course, the most recognized animal symbol for his real life counterpart.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Under normal circumstance, the True Three Guilds are not allowed to make the move in the game until a certain amount of time has passed and conditions are fulfilled, in order to avoid getting the protagonist killed too early and maximizing their control over the game and their win rate. Tezcatlipoca, being who he is, purposely allowed the protagonist, R-19, and Jacob to come into the Penitentia Academy in order to fulfill his own goal of battling the protagonist directly [[spoiler:and fulfilling his wish of seeing Quetzalcoatl within them again.]]
* SuperDeformed: The first character in the game to have a chibi portrait. Cait Sith may be to blame.
* SuperSmoke: As a consequence of having sacrificed his body, Tezcatlipoca's true form is actually a formless mass of smoke that resides within his mirror artifact. Like his fragment in Hombre, this form grants Tez immunity to conventional weaponry and allows him to telepathically attack his enemies' minds and corrupt their memories.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Thanks to no longer possessing a corporeal form, Tezcatlipoca can now take on any number of forms that suits him, though he typically returns to his original form for convenience.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Had this when his brother left their world, and scoured all traces of their presence from it. As an ultimate act of sacrifice he should have been happy... yet all he felt was sadness.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:On a receiving end of this from the four of the Warmongers' Representatives toward the end of chapter 10, once it becomes clear to them that Tez is actually not sharing their ideal of world of endless war.]]

!!Hombre Tigre
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_hombretigre01_skin2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Spirited Luchador'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/KentaMiyake

A Transient originating from the world of El Dorado. While a student by day, outside of school hours he works in professional wrestling, where he plays an up-and-coming Técnico specializing in the Mexican style of Lucha Libre. He is known in the ring for his energetic demeanor and crowd-pleasing performances: his matches often see him bloodied and almost beaten by unscrupulous foes who exploit his every weakness, only for him to suddenly seize victory in a dramatic turnaround, and this has gained him great popularity. To fly higher and farther than anybody else is his dream, and he wishes only to spend the rest of his days in the ring. He struggles most with getting along with others who live their lives on the edge, perhaps because of how much they mirror himself.
----

* AffablyEvil: Tigre is genuinely devoted to his craft and role as the “face” or heroic wrestler and is overall a very jovial and inviting person. Unfortunately, he is also actively trying to recruit other students, the Protagonist in particular, into a guild that revels in constant battles.
* BigEntrance: After fighting the wrestler mobs, Hombre Tigre makes his grand entrance, complete with adoring fans, colored smoke, strobe lights, theme music, and an announcer hyping up his entry.
* BloodKnight: Downplayed. Tigre and his troops aren’t as violent as the traditional example. Rather they just enjoy the fight and tumble in general. However, this trope was likely played straight in Tigre’s first life back in his home world where bloody wars and ritual sacrifices were constantly being enacted as a form of worship to Tezcatlipoca. [[spoiler: As it turns out, it's played very straight. Later on in your confrontation with Hombre Tigre, his opponents are inundated with memories of the total war and destruction the Warmongers have caused in previous timeloops.]]
* BoisterousBruiser: He certainly projects the image of fun-loving wrestler ready to tumble with someone.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: With his boisterous attitude and cheery luchador persona, you'd never realize that Hombretigre was one of the mightiest generals of El Dorado.
* CatFolk: He's a tiger therian.
* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: The jagged crescent-shaped mark over his left pectoral serves as proof of his allegiances to Tezcatlipoca through the sacrifice of his heart and thus, his status as a Nagual.
* CombatTentacles: The rubber his Sacred Artifact is made out of can be shot out to grab an unsuspecting foe and for his ultimate finisher, Tigre can unleash an omnidirectional blast of the stuff to entangle all of his enemies.
* FinishingMove: Attempted against Arc, though convenient intervention from the Crafters and Xolotl stop it from being completed.
* FogOfDoom: [[spoiler: In exchange for his heart, the ritual that elevated Tigre to the status of Nagual also infused a fragment of Tezcatlipoca into his body. He is able to unleash this fragment from within himself similar to astral projection and allow it to fight for him, at the cost of incapacitating his body while the fragment is out. As for the fragment itself, not only does it knows all of Tigre’s moves, it’s also [[MadeOfAir made]] entirely out of smoke and can attack its victims memories.]]
* InstantArmor: His entire outfit is made the rubber from his Sacred Artifact, making physical attacks a bad idea.
* ALizardNamedLiz: The game refers to him by his stage name, which translates from Spanish to mean "weretiger".
* {{Kayfabe}}: The entire fight against Hombre Tigre is set up as a professional wrestling match from start to finish, despite the battle supposedly being 100% serious. Hombre Tigre and the naguals don't break character once until the Protagonist arrives on the scene.
* NowBuyTheMerchandise: Hombre Tigre stops to hawk Hombre Tigre and Warmonger merchandise in the middle of the fight to the crowd, despite the fact that they're in a workshop ''with no spectators around''.
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler: Since the fragment of Tezcatlipoca works as his heart, any time it leaves his body, Hombre Tigre quite literally dies. Upon reentry of the body, it does appear that there is a lot of effort made to resuscitate Hombre Tigre. However, as soon as he's back up, he doesn't appear to suffer very much from this status.]]
* ProfessionalWrestling: Hombre Tigre is a self-proclaimed luchador, and from the moment you first hear about him in this game, you're steeped in pro wrestling culture.
* RubberMan: He manifests his sacred artifact in the form of rubber. Heck, he even does a variation of [[Manga/HunterXHunter Hisoka’s]] pose in his 4 star rarity, stretching his hands out with a film of rubber in the middle. The rubber possesses varies applications including CombatTentacles and InstantArmor.
* TheSymbiote: He's in this kind of relationship with [[spoiler: Tezcatlipoca, who Hombre Tigre sacrificed his own heart to. Tezcatlipoca inhabits Hombre Tigre and works as his missing heart. In return, Hombre Tigre has dedicated himself to eternal battle in Tezcatlipoca's name, as he's become a tool for Tezacatlipoca, he, himself, is a nagual.]]
* TheatricsOfPain: Hombre Tigre and the wrestlers do this just about every time they're being hit, selling pain at a level that even Arc finds ridiculous for the amount of damage they were dishing out.
* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler: The victim of an unwanted one via Breke who had installed Azathoth’s throne and was temporarily granted the Elder God’s [[SpaceMaster powers]], allowing the wolf to instantly banish Tigre and all of his jaguar troops from the Crafter’s guild.]]

!!Shennong
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_shennong01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Bitter Medicine'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/TakuyaMasumoto

An expert in poisons and chemical substances and possessor of a cheerful and inquisitive disposition, this Transients excels in academics and has strong leadership skills. However, he has a bad habit of immediately putting things in his mouth to see if they are poisonous. Maybe because of this, he can often be seen panting and groaning with stomach pain, never learning from his mistakes. He has a passion for farming, and while his plot is small, he finds a great deal of use in it as an experimental farm to grow a variety of strange creations. He is affiliated with the Warmongers, the guild controlling Western Tokyo, where he works as a medic as well as a member of their frontline chemical and biological warfare unit. He cannot help but worry for those who unwittingly hurt themselves, and if their wounds are psychological and thus beyond his ministrations, he worries for them all the more. Conversely, he feels an aversion to those who gladly cause themselves pain; likes, in this case, repel.
----
* BerserkButton: People who throw themselves into situations where they end up hurt, which leads him to both clash with and follow the protagonist.
* CombatMedic: It's his duty on the battlefield to keep his people combat-ready.
* DanceBattler: His Dragon Palace Variant is described as fighting with a sword dance.
* DeadpanSnarker: While kind, Shennong has a wry sense of humor, and will absolutely lay into both himself and the people he cares about in order to poke fun.
--> Shennong: "Please don't do anything dangerous. Oh, who am I kidding. You'll probably stick a fork into the next socket we meet, right?"
* DualWielding: His summer variant dual wields a pairs of high-tech [[NationalWeapon Jian swords]].
* ElementalPowers: His 3* and 5* rarities are of the Wood attribute, hearkening to his poison powers. His 4* is instead a Valiant attribute unit.
* {{Expy}}: His powers bears resemblance to [[Characters/FateGrandOrderAssassinsGToM the Hassan of Serenity]] from Fate.
* FormFittingWardrobe: His default outfit is a tank top that's... basically a second skin.
* GiantMedicalSyringe: His weapon of choice. A huge syringe that's about as tall as he is, likely filled with poisons he's developed/cultivated himself.
* HospitalHottie: Double Subverted. Shennong takes his job seriously regardless of most circumstances. There's even a story bit in Chapter 10 that lampshades this exact trope; the protgonist asks for medical assistance while injured and adds a blatantly salacious remark. Shennong's respose? Cycling through 5 different expressions before essentially landing on "What the hell is ''wrong with you?"''
** However, when not under duress, he can ocassionally hit on the protgonist, including times where they may not instigate it. See: his Sunrise New Year shop line, where he playfully offers to give them a [[DoubleEntendre ''big faaat injection.'']]
* ALoadOfBull: He's a bovine transient.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: One of very few units that benefits from having your party suffer a debuff, specifically poison. He possesses a unique buff "Poison Reversal" which acts as a regen, attack boost and defense boost, but only if the recipients are poisoned.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Steals a kiss on the cheek from the Protagonist during the ''Virtual Summer Memory'' using a well timed distraction.
* PoisonousPerson: He's ingested so many toxins that he can sweat it out with no harm ''to himself''. Others might not be so lucky. Poison is his favorite research topic, but he veers into TooDumbToLive territory by taking mouthfuls of new substances to see if they're poisonous or toxic as his ''first'' step in research.
* PurplePoison: His horns and the contents of his syringe are a deep purple color, likely to reflect the nature of his powers.
* RealityEnsues: As a result of his biology, Shennong is unable to use the pool or maintain extended physical contact with anyone (lest he accidentally poisons them from his sweat).
** This is why he readily takes advantage of the Dragon Palace resort in the Virtual Summer Memory event, as his digital avatar can't poison anyone.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Thanks to his Sacred Artifact being his own internal organs, he's immune to poisons, though it might give him a nasty stomachache.
* {{Seers}}: His second sacred artifact is Nuwa's Aurora Flag, which can be seen in the background of his 4-star art. It has the power to signal the prelude to war and battle. Shennong uses it to locate sites of impending battle in order to be ready to provide aid to the people involved.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Has a relationship like this with Hakumen as he inherited her teacher's artifact.
* SkewedPriorities: Lectures the protagonist about the power of Feng Shui during the ''Sunrise New Year'' event, instead of helping Marduk who was slowly being swallowed alive by Mushussu right next to him!
* WarIsHell: Shennong spent his entire life in Hourai attempting and failing to stop an all-encompassing war. It is the reason he was originally summoned to Tokyo, and also ends up being the reason he [[spoiler: defects from the Warmongers to join the Summoners.]]
* WintryAuroralSky: One of the Artifacts he possesses is an aurora that covers a battlefield, its light change to inform him of situations, such as ongoing conflicts, or pockets of wounded. This aurora lacks the typical ice or winter association though.

!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KatsuhisaHoki

A Transient hailing from the world of Xanadu, Avarga has found employment in Tokyo as an instructor and wrestling coach at Yoyogi Academy in Shibuya. His skills are widely respected in the city's martial arts circles, and he maintains strong ties to other schools specializing in close-quarters combat. While he was originally human, he now shares a body with the divine bird Khangarid, as evidenced by the feathers that constantly flutter about him. The monstrous strength he possesses is extraordinary even by Xanadu standards; if legends are to be believed, he once wrestled a great dragon to the ground with his bare hands. He is well-liked by his students for his affable, roguish demeanor, but a very different and far more intimidating side comes to the fore when angered... such as by a certain teacher at Daikanyama Academy, whom he views as his mortal rival.
----
* ArchEnemy: Apparently seeks to do combat with Arsalan specifically.

!!Tanetomo
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_tanetomo01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Assassination Tactician'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/YukoSanpei

A Transient from the Land of Wa. He is a calm strategist and a composed assassin who is seen working for the guild he is a part of, though this is only one facet to him. He's a person with many sides to him, giving eccentric speeches to his surroundings and being famed as a passionate and skillful ritual dancer. These are all components that make up the complex character that is Tanetomo, and those who misread him are prone to meet their doom. Tanetomo specializes in [[ISurrenderSuckers surrendering his leadership]], [[ManipulativeBastard binding the choices of his opponents, and manipulating them into his hands]]. On a tactical level he gets on well with those who treat him as a charming commodity. He holds a mix of pity and sympathy for people who get lost in destructive love.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case the [[DudeLooksLikeALady feminine]] Inusaka Keno.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He's ''pink'', specifically peach. While a pink dog wouldn't be out of place for this game, that every other Hakkenshi has a much more natural fur color for a dog makes him stand out that much more.
* AssassinOutclassin: Proves himself the superior assassin when he effortlessly dispatches the shinobis sent to kill Yasuyori in the past.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Almost literally in this case. Tanetomo's geisha training allows him to craft an elegant and affable persona that hides the inner viciousness swimming just beneath the surface of his personality.
* CombatHaircomb: He can use his hairpins as projectiles with deadly accuracy as demonstrated by his first meeting with Yasuyori.
* CombatHandFan: Swats the protagonist's sword away with a flick of his fan in chpater 11.
* CuteAndPsycho: Tanetomo's demure appearance is contrasted by his cold-blooded and almost casual approach to assassination.
* DeathSeeker: His offer for his victims to kill him are entirely sincere which is implied to be a [[ConditionalPowers condition]] of his artifact's power.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The way Tanetomo reacted to the Protagonist mentioning Yasuyori in Chapter 11. He first goes dead silent before going back to stabbing Ellie, but this time with renewed vigor as he denounces Yasuyori for so easily believing in the lies Tanetomo fed to him or that they ever had a real relationship, platonic or otherwise, to begin and states that he was merely using Yasuyori for his own ends. The whole experience basically looked like a barely contained emotional meltdown from someone who just had a nasty break-up with poor Ellie serving as the punching bag for Tanetomo's rage over Yasuyori leaving him. Tanetomo even tries to rationalize that it was he who had cut ties with Yasuyori, rather than the other way around.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Tanetomo is very [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] in appearance, making him very easy to underestimate, which is a useful trait for an assassin. This is a trait he borrows from the character he's based on.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: He gets these whenever he drops his mask and gets serious.
* DumpedViaTextMessage: Essentially how he felt when Yasuyori left him and returned to Yoyogi Academy, following the events of Chapter 10. Needless to say, Tanetomo did not react too well to the news.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon:
* FlowersOfFemininity: He uses floral pins to hold his hair in place in his student attire, while he wears a floral headband/tiara, with pins tucked into his bun, in his geisha persona. Unsurprisingly, they're not [[HiddenWeapons just]] for decorations.
* FreudianExcuse: Like his novel counterpart, Tanetomo's saw his entire family butchered at a young age and their family treasure stolen. This forced him rely on his beauty to survive and seek out the offenders to avenge his family.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His 4-Star implies that he risks being killed either by the very person he's trying to assassinate as a result of his offer to take his sword and stab him with it always being genuine, or by his artifact's ability as a result of how he holds it.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Yasuyori, although Yasuyori don't seem to view him in the same light.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Kills the shinobis sent to assassinate Yasuyori while they were hidden with just a casual flick of his hair pins.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Very much so.
* {{Keigo}}: Uses a very formal speaking pattern as expected of a person with a geisha background.
* KimonoFanservice: His alternative skin has him wearing a beautiful white and fuchsia floral kimono with his right arm, which bears his peony mark, out of its sleeve.
* PsychoPoodle: He is based on the Papillon or Continental Toy Spaniel dog breed and is extremely cunning.
* RageBreakingPoint: Played for laughs, but Tanetomo kicks and destroyed Hombre's speakers after getting annoyed by the blaring music during the ''Nyah! Happy Illusions'' event.
* RapunzelHair: His sandy hair fall is long enough to reach his knees! When performing as a geisha, he keeps it all in a PrimAndProperBun.
* SchmuckBait: Since his sword Sacred Artifact destroys whoever it's pointed at, he uses it for assassination by convincing his target to kill him with it, offering the handle to the mark while he holds the edge of it. The blade will then kill the person if their hearts are moved by Tanetomo's emotional display.
* TheSmartGuy: The virtue he embodies is ''Wisdom'' and he's an adept strategist for the Warmongers. He has enough tactical prowess to lead a vanguard against the Rule Maker's troops.
* SoftSpokenSadist: He always maintains an eerie composure to his voice even when he's in the middle of torturing someone.
* SwordAndGun: His 4* art depicts him with these, with both of their business ends pointing at him of course in order to activate his sacred artifact's power.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Tanetomo's choice of dress is a nod to his character in the original novel, who disguised himself as a woman in order to avoid suspicion in his quest for vengeance.

!!Yasuyori
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_yasuyori01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Boastful Sergeant'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyotaTakeuchi

A Transient from the Land of Wa and a member of the Yoyogi Academy sumo wrestling club in Shibuya Ward. He values the discipline, order, and hierarchy of being part of an organization, and keeps his personal feelings locked up tight. While some in his club admire these qualities, others find him inflexible and insufferably strait‐laced. He tends to clash most violently with bold, rough individuals. On the other hand, he is weak to overt expressions of kindness and to persuasion, and in his inexperience he is quick to promise marriage to others. He has a habit of scratching at his old wounds, and in his struggles with his memories of the past, he has convinced himself that there is nowhere for him but the battlefield. He deeply respects his school's physician and their tireless efforts to look after his mental health.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case TheBigGuy Inuta Kobungo.
----
* AndThenWhat: As noted in his profile, he constantly worries about how he's going to live outside the battlefield, and arguably why's he's part of the group who seeks eternal battle: If they succeed, he doesn't have to.
* BashBrothers: The virtue held in his orb, ''Brotherhood''.
* DishingOutDirt: As a side effect of using his short sword artifact, he's capable of causing earthquakes when he swings it.
* DogsAreDumb: So far the only example of the Hakkenshi who seemed to be behind the door when their progenitor's intelligence was portioned out.
* {{Fanservice}}: Concerning his birthmark. While every other person known to have one has had it on their arm in some way, Yasuyori's happens to be right on his ''butt cheek''. While this is at least accurate with the character he's based on who had it in the same spot, in Yasuyori's case it's played more for fanservice since he almost only ever wears a mawashi below the waist and thus his buttocks are always uncovered. His 4-Star artwork in particular shows this off quite prominently, depicting a low-angle shot of him performing a sumo squat from behind. Most of his alternate skins are similarly revealing, with only the one version of his Christmas outfit giving him a pair of shorts that properly cover his behind.
* {{Foil}}: To Tajikarao, ability-wise, since both their Sacred Artifacts have the ability to reveal hidden secrets, but he believes it's a power that should be used with caution, while Tajikarao uses his power with reckless abandon if he feels someone is hiding something. This is also the main reason Yasuyori dislikes him.
* FreedomFromChoice: He's so terrified of repeating his past mistakes that he would rather conform and be part of a brutal system then act on his own.
* GoodIsDumb: One of, if not ''the'' most kindhearted of the Warmongers. Also not exactly one of their smartest members.
* HealingFactor: What his Hakkenshi Orb artifact grants him. Given he's CoveredInScars, it makes one wonder how powerful it is... or how bad the injuries that left scars were.
* IAmAMonster: After Tez restored his memories of killing his friends, he believed he was this because he broke his personal promise not to kill on top of killing his friends in previous loops. As a result he left Yoyogi Academy for the Warmongers because he felt they understood what he was going through better than his friends in Yoyogi Academy.
* SexySantaDress: His new Christmas skin is a male version, and comes in two variants - one which sports the classic hat, a pair of trunks, and Santa's coat but [[WalkingShirtlessScene no shirt underneath]], and another which is just the hat and nothing but a ''thong'' to accompany it.
* SumoWrestling: He's part of the sumo club at his school, always wears a mawashi, strikes a sumo pose in his 4-Star variant, and even shouts "DOSUKOI!" in some of his voice clips. Also a trait taken from the character he's based upon.

!!Balor
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_balor01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Evil Eyed King'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/TakayaKuroda

World Representative of Tir na Nog, which plans to achieve eternity through Substitution. At one point in the past, his left eye was fumigated by magical smoke which led to it gaining the power to confer death to those he looks at. This power scatters about death on the battlefield without regards to friend or foe, but by borrowing the power of another this eye can become sealed. He has been through many wars and has gained fame as a general and the proudest king of the giants. However due to a defeat from a certain point in time, all of his dignity was stripped away and his pride was broken, and in the end he became someone who waited for his death penalty to be carried out within prison. He wishes to die on the battlefield as opposed to an execution ground, so he accepted some arrangements to be used by other World Representatives. After being imprisoned in the military academy prison in Nerima, he now works as a combat instructor training death row inmates as soldiers. Balor thinks about the comrades who killed and died on the same battlefields as he has. The lingering smoke there still smoulders in his eyes even now.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Balor's origin is most well known for killing his grandchildren out of fear of dying at one of their hands. This Balor is hinted to actually care for them and accepts that it's natural for the old to perish for the world to remain youthful and full of life.
** Backstory-wise, because the unnamed older siblings of Lugh are AdaptedOut, this version of Balor didn't kill any of his grandchildren.
* BirdsOfAFeather: It's hinted that he shares some sort of sentimental view with Tezcatlipoca, as both are considered among the less trustworthy (as in forming contact with the protagonist, the "trophy" of the game) of the Respresentives. As a result of that, by the time that Tezcatlipoca was defeated by the protagonist, Balor himself becomes the next target of both the Representatives and Curran's faction to be removed from the board.
** Fortune Festival expands on this. Balor and Tezcatlipoca broke their code of eternal war as to their true goals do not actually align with theirs.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He has the skill and power to back up his status as king of the giants, from his massive strength to his evil eye Sacred Artifact.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite how tough he is, he really love his grandson.
* DeathSeeker: His only goal at Tokyo is to die at the hands of someone, to the point that he accepts all the imprisonments and being used as a tool by the other Representatives. The Fortune Festival heavily implies that the person is Lugh, his grandson and one of the souls inside the protagonist.
* TheDreaded: Feared even among the Warmongers for his strength and battle mindset that doesn't hold back against anyone, and especially his Evil Eye Sacred Artifact that can kill anyone at his gaze. That said, Balor himself considers Shiva and "another person" to hold said title.
* DramaticIrony: Despite being a member of Warmongers, Fortune Festival reveals that he does not share their goal of world of eternal war at all, as he knows that all don't last for eternity and the old must die by the young's hands in order for the world to go forward, and only cooperates with them to follow his own belief.
* GrandpaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Despite his aging years as "grandpa" (per his profile and legend), he is pretty fit and ripped.
* HeroKiller: He successfully offed the protagonist in one of the previous loops, but the act broke his heart so much that he pretty much resigned himself to deathrow.
* HeelFaceTurn: After much prodding from Tezcatlipoca from multiple past loops, Balor decides to follow his own heart by allying himself with the protagonist, protecting them from Shiva's attack.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the maternal grandfather to one of the protagonist's souls, Lugh.
* MagicEye: His sacred artifact is his crimson left eye, which has the power to instantly kill and destroy almost anything that falls under its gaze.
* MismatchedEyes: One blue, one [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]].
* PowerLimiter: His headband and chains function as one.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The hidden eye's color is red, and the source of his destructive power.
* SelfRestraint: When first meeting Balor, he's shown shackled and chained in the Warmonger prison complex. Unlike the other guild members who first undergo this while being indoctrinated, Balor does this willingly due to his devastating powers.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original myth, Balor was killed by his grandson after having his Evil Eye pierced with a slingshot. This Balor on the other hand, never experienced such event as the one who was banished from their world was instead Lugh.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Though he isn't fond of the fact Tezcatlipoca can read his thought like reading a paper, Balor comments that he will sure to leave flowers on Tez's grave in respect if he happens to kick the bucket before him.
* {{Yandere}}: His love declaration is essentially telling the Protagonist that he will deprive them of their everything and love them until his soul perishes.

!!Daikoku
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_daikoku01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Police Superintendent'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo

In this Tokyo, Daikoku is known as both the police superintendent as well as the principal for the police academy. He is seen by many as someone who combines both dignity and tolerance as a veteran, and he is highly respected. But on the other hand there is another side to him. That would be his being a black market auctioneer who sells precious goods and stray Transients from other worlds on a large scale. He regrets his past where he once ceded his Role to a certain person, so he is unusually obsessed with maintaining his power. He is always wearing white gloves as if to show everyone around his hands aren't dirty. Daikoku is fond of stepping on and rebuking those who have surrendered to him. He also has a businesslike sense of good will towards people who are aware that they have a certain charm in the marketplace.
----
* AnimalMotifs: According to [=RybiOK=], the strand of hair drooping over his forehead is supposed to invoke anglerfish's glowing lure.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The gods that are his origin are on the side of good, if somewhat destructive at time. This Daikoku's morality is, to put it simple, ambiguous.
* AlternateCharacterReading: His current name "Daikoku" (大黒) is an alternate reading of Okuni (大国), his original name. This is, among other things, is unavoidably LostInTranslation.
* BerserkButton: To put it softly, he really loathes Amaterasu.
* BoringButPractical: His 3* version has lower stats, but is still an efficient CP batter, defense buffer, and healer as much as his 5* is, plus lower deployment cost to boot.
* CastingAShadow: His powers allow him to command darkness and Shadow, allowing him to either bind his enemies with Shadow tendrils or to have the Shadows consume them and place them under his control, thanks to his second Sacred Artifact "Country of Root" (Ne no Kuni).
* CerebusRetcon: His friendly interactions with Ebisu in previous events are even more disturbing now that we know Daikoku has been possessed this whole time.
* CharmPerson: Has charm debuff as part of his CS's effect.
* DecompositeCharacter: Storyline-wise, Shiva, Mahakala, and Daikokuten are treated as different beings rather being the same person.
* DemonicPossession: Turns out, Daikoku has been possessed by Ōkuninushi-no-Kami, the mythical nation-building god of Japan. Tsukuyomi realized this when he was entrapped within Daikoku's shadow realm and revealed the truth once Ellie had managed to rescue him. It's unknown what has become of the original Daikoku or if there's anything left of him.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: It's implied that he dislike Benten's Love Song for unknown reason in Fortune Festival event.
* FatalFlaw: According to himself: [[SayingTooMuch exposing too much of his own villainous plan to his enemy]], which screwed his plan multiple times in the previous loops. He has since resolved to simply keep everyone else in the dark until the time for his machinations comes to fruition.
* FreudianExcuse: His willingness to engage in what is effectively people trafficking stems from when his own power and prestige was in danger from his divine peers. As such he takes special joy in controlling the genuinely powerful.
* {{Fundoshi}}: His 5 stars skin sports one. Curiously, he is not treated as "unit with swimsuit" unlike Musashi and Sanat Kumara.
* TheHeavy: Despite many of the Warmongers such as Balor and Shiva possessing more powerful and destructive abilities, Daikoku is by far regarded as the most dangerous member of the group despite not being a Representative due to his mysterious background, calculative personality, clear criminal acts, and his goal involving Mahakala of the Great Darkness.
* IHaveManyNames: While he calls himself Daikoku, he also goes by the name "Mahakala". However, his true name is heavily implied to be Okuni as in Okuninushi.
* LogicalWeakness: He's powerless to stop Ellie when she enters his realm to rescue Tanetomo and Tsukuyomi as being a vampire, she is seen as a ruler of the night and thus immune to his powers.
* MeaningfulName: Is named after Daikokuten, aka Japanese version of Shiva.
* MulticoloredHair: Black and white, just like Shiva.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He is visibly shocked when Tsukuyomi called him "Great Darkness", before switching back to calling him Daikoku.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He is viewed by some as kind and compassionate, while the others view him as cruel, manipulative, and destructive. This mysterious contradiction has not gone unnoticed by the protagonist and Tsukuyomi.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: His connection to Mahakala is not because his Sacred Artifact one belonged to him like the the previous five, but because the the three Sacred Treasures he took from the Susanoo sharing the same role and rule as Mahakala.
* RedHerring: Double-folded. Despite the evidence, he is not the Representative of Deka Lova. Shiva is.
** He's not even the real Daikoku. It's actually another god who have hijacked his body in order to fulfill their agenda.
* VaporWear: His "Fortune God" costume put him in a robe, headband, and towel, with no possibility for underwear in sight.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Daikoku is beloved and respected by the students at Kiou, including Tajikarao, as the noble superintendent and school principal, but he has a darker side of holding illegal auction and being the leader of black market and transient trafficking.
* WeaksauceWeakness:
** According to Tsukuyomi, if anyone is able to call out his true name, then all of his darkness would lose its power. [[CrazyPrepared That is]], if you know he's actually Okuninushi, otherwise calling him by his host's name does nothing to negate his powers.
** Tanetomo mentions that because "shadow" ranks lower than "sunlight", his power is always second to those who wield said power.
* ZergRush: He has managed to collection an extensive army of Shadow minions and hope to use their numerical advantage against Amaterasu.

!!Teda

[[caption-width-right:350:''Sun Emperor Carrier'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/JunkoTakeuchi

World Representative of Nirai Kanai and lustful boy king who carries the memories of a heavenly emperor. He boasts that there is no one in the world who doesn't love him, and he is quick to hold hands with those he likes. He is a hardy soldier that specializes in the bow, and he fights with the Sacred Artifact of 24 battle-signaling arrows that are the incarnation of sunlight. These arrows will always reach wherever the sun shines and can be used as a part of Teda's body. In places known as pyazhu it is believed that he can enter the bodies of people he immediately falls in love with as light and have children. He has extremely terrible compatibility with people who would obstruct the grace of the sun.
----
* HiddenDepths: The reason he chooses to not confront and fight against the protagonist despite it being the Warmongers' modus operandi is because he witnessed that Balor had lost all of his will to live after doing such and killing the protagonist as result, thus refrains from the action in order to not end up like him.
* {{Hunk}}: He is totally ripped despite his youthful look.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: According to his profile, his arrow will always reach its target as long as they're in the world of sunlight. In contrast, it cannot reach the land of night or the ocean depth where there is no sunlight.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: He sympathizes with people who also lost loved ones to the oceans and doesn't get along with people who block the sun, so he give Makara the Friendship buff (since he lost Varuna to the sea as well) and gives Korpokkur the Anger buff (since his leaves can block the sun).
* LogicalWeakness: As a consequence, he can't affect anything that isn't in his light, whether if its blocked or it can't reach. Notably this causes him some grief, since its implied he's lost someone deep in the oceans, where light cannot reach.
* TheOmniscient: Similar to Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, as his world's representative, he's capable of observing everything the light of his Sun touches thanks to his Rule.
* PlayingWithFire: His 3* element, fitting his role as the Sun God.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Use bow and arrow as his weapon of choice.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His default costume has no shirt, only clothing hanging from his hips.
* VagueAge: Appearance-wise, while he titled himself "Boy King", one of his alternate outfits is a modified Gakuran which is traditionally not worn before high school. Adding his musculature and its hard to believe that his age is anything below 13.

!!Nezha
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_nezha01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Asakusa Street Racer'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/RieMurakawa

Transient from the world of Hourai and avatar of the lotus blossom. First year student of the middle school section of Umamichi Academy in Taito Ward, Asakusa. Nezha is a weapon created with war carved into the core of their soul gem. They possess a Role where they must fight when possible, especially when they must also kill any dragons they see. Back in their home world, they have a past where they were drawn to someone calling themselves Qitian Dasheng (Seiten Taisei), all while karma led to the two having hostilities. Nezha is now emotionally attached to someone who has traces of that person but not their destiny and calls them senpai. Due to their past, Nezha doesn't get on well with anyone who reminds them of their nagging father.
----
* BloodKnight: In the "Jiangshi Night" event they are constantly looking for an excuse to get into fights.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A low-key version; Nezha was built for war and as such views almost everything as some form of competition, and since their body can be rebuilt if it's broken to pieces, they don't quite grasp how terribly final death can be, having never come close to facing it themselves.
* ChallengeSeeker: Nezha is the "welcome committee" for Umamichi - by which we mean they try to pick a fight with anyone and everyone who comes onto the academy grounds. It's their Role to do so, but they take a ''little'' too much glee in it, and often have to be distracted from it by Hanuman.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Their in-game skillset is built around having incredible mobility... but they don't hit particularly hard; they don't buff their allies; and they don't meaningfully debuff the enemies, only getting the ability to apply one weak Burn debuff after their final Limit Break. In a game where group synergy is key, Nezha brings nothing to the table another character couldn't do just as well, if not better, and with less overall utility.
* SempaiKohai: Has this relationship with Hanuman, with Nezha being the junior of the two.
* UselessUsefulSpell: Nezha can stack multiple Acceleration buffs, essentially hyper charging their CP to use their charge skill often... except they don't do much beyond that and even their charge skill only really lets them move better; which would be fine if they had any move skills, but they don't.

!!Marduk
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_marduk01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Calf of the Sun'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/FukushiOchiai

Transient from the world of Babel and its Representative, which holds the belief that new life can be reborn from bones. He boasts a name that means Calf of the Sun and is a hero sort of person. By being swallowed up and then spat out by the serpent Mushussu he brings with him, he is able to obtain a new body. That said, it is still a terrifying experience, but as a hero he keeps his screams down as he gets swallowed whole. Mushussu loves Marduk, and swallowing him up is one expression of its affection. The tablet-like thing hanging from his neck is a clay slab with the mandate of heaven written on it, but at present a part of its power is not working correctly. This is based on the contents once carved into it, and Marduk drives out disorder. He sympathizes with the person who is also a child of the sun and an archer. He also feels something similar to familiarity towards those who possess artifacts that divide heaven and earth or bear names that relate to that.\\\

He is based on the patron god of Babylonia and who presided over storms, justice, compassion, healing, regeneration, magic, and fairness. He was responsible for slaying the primordial goddess Tiamat and then using her corpse to create the Heavens and the Earth as told in the Babylonian creation myth, [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Enûma Eliš]].

----
* AwesomeButImpractical: Mushussu's regenerative powers can bring Marduk back from the brink of deaht, but it results in Marduk being mind-wiped when completed.
* ChainmailBikini: Wear a golden armor with cape that barely covers anything, then Clothing Damage kicks in.
* EatenAlive: Unfortunately for Marduk, his pet dragon Mushussu likes to do this to him. A lot. Thankfully its powers allows it to regurgitate him in a new body free of injuries. Of course, Mushussu seems to enjoy doing this to his master even when Marduk is not injured.
* FlyingFirepower: Thanks to Mushussu, Marduk can maintain aerial advantage and reposition himself while sniping his opponents from afar.
* HarmfulHealing: Mushussu heals him by eating him, and it's noted that it's not a pleasant sensation.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: To say he is naïve would be an understatement. He readily place his complete trust in those he considers on his side and would never suspect his allies of foul play or deception against him. This bites him when the other members of the Warmongers send him out to the battlefield in order to covertly eliminate him. This attitude might have something to do with the culture of Babel.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The unfortunate side effect of Mushussu's power is that Marduk is reborn in an almost literal sense as his mind is wiped clean as much as his own body is. Every time Marduk is devoured and regurgitated, he mentally regresses to the first moments of his summoning which erases any prior relationships he might have had, forcing him to relearn friend from foe.
* MemoryJar: Subverted. It's implied his pillar is the stone tablet hanging from his neck, but for some reason it's not working at the moment. If it was functional, that would eliminate the drawback of using Mushussu to heal himself.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Has a red dragon companion whose power can rejuvenate Marduk of any wounds by swallowing him whole, healing him, and spitting him back out.
* WorfHadTheFlu: For some reasons, his Mandate of Heaven Clay Tablet's power cannot be utilized properly, and thus is unable to recall the memories from the past loops. Which may be due to Shuichi, given that he is shown to possess a Sacred Artifact with very similar design..
* WeaksauceWeakness: As incarnation of Babel's sun, Marduk's offensive power heavily diminishes during nighttime, especially as against the opponent who draws power from his weakness like Ellie.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Orge Exterminator Commander'']]
->Voiced By: Creator/WataruTakagi

Transient from the world of Wa no Kuni and its Representative. Back home, his childhood name was Onimusha or Oniwakamaru. He is one member of the subsystem that controls the world, The Originator/Minamoto(?). He is also a corporate man who excels at politically defining someone as an enemy and uniting everyone else against them. By changing his weaknesses into many and cutting off ties when the need arises, he can flip around the political game board. Yoritomo loves sumo wrestling contests, and his hobby is sponsoring his favorite sumo wrestlers. He fears falling off of a horse, and he does not feel that moving around much is a good thing. He is greatly feared by those who know his past, especially if they have been given a sword by him. As the mirror image of his younger brother's grown self and the Azuma warriors who followed his brother's example, he despises mirrors.\\\
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like Oniwaka, the game's Yoritomo is implied to be of Oni descent.
* BoomerangBigot: Detest Onis, when it's clear he has Oni blood.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: By his own words, "allies" are just people who're temporary useful to him, which tells a lot about his mindset.
* FantasticRacism: Is implied to hold unnatural amount hatred toward the Onis, Ogres, and Demons. Which is [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritical]], since going by his spectral horns, Oni blood flows in his veins and he's by definition a Transient.
* HornedHumanoid: Similar to Toji, he possesses a pair of spectral horns on his head, hidden by his hat.
* KatanasAreBetter: He wields an ornate katana.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Is the brother of one of the protagonist's souls, Yoshitsune.
* OneSteveLimit: Played with. Real-life historical fact wise, his childhood name is "Oniwakamaru", which is very similar to "Benkei"'s Oniwaka.
* RageAgainstTheReflection: Implied to have a case of this. Yoritomo's own resemblance to his brother, Yoshitsune, makes it uncomfortable for him to look at himself in the mirror as it reminds him of his regrets for what he has done to his brother.
* ScarsAreForever: Has a large horizontal one across his face.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Has a nasty habit of doing this to his subordinates. Not even his own brother was safe from this as one can recall from Japanese history.

->Voiced By: Creator/RikiyaKoyama

Transient from the World of Gehenna and its Representative. The infamous demon from the story of [[Myth/{{Faust}} Faust]] who forged a contract with the dissatisfied scholar for earthly pleasures in exchange for the man's soul.

Here Mephistopheles acts as the administration manager of the shadow cabinet within Tokyo's legislative Diet in order further the Warmonger's ambitions.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Mephisto revealed to Duo that he didn't actually become a Representative through banishing someone from his homeworld like all the Reps. Rather, it was actually Lucifer/Shaytan who had granted the title to him before the former had vanished from Gehenna. This has causes some personal awkwardness for Mephisto as he feels out of place compared to his colleagues and their goals.
** Unlike most of the Transients from Gehenna, who were either casted away or fled there, Mephisto was a true native of Gehenna.
* {{Baphomet}}: Mephistopheles is, unsurprisingly, a demonic caprine transient as one would expect of the demon who popularize the idea of demonic contracts.
* BattleButler: His outfit isn't just for show. Mephistopheles was essentially Shaytan's butler back in Gehenna, and then Faust's when he had contracted with the man.
* {{Bishonen}}: Has a quite soft features beneath his mask, compared to Lil'Salomon. Doesn't mean that he isn't capable of NightmareFace though.
* TheBlank: He was originally just a shadow demon, but thanks to the connection between the Player and Lil Sal, Mephisto has since gained a recognizable form.
* BoobsAndButtPose: His 4 star card puts a heavy emphasis on his rather ample assets by putting him in this pose as he exits his mirror portal.
* TheCorruptor: He loves gradually corrupting his contractors and watching them fall further and further from grace as they drown in depravity. Although interestingly, he's also amused by people who seem like easy-to-corrupt types, but are able to stop themselves and resist temptation.
** This is also the reason why he dislike Snow, his anti-thesis as a butler. While Snow raises his charges to be kings and generally nurturing their best qualities in order to mold them into superior individuals, Mephistopheles does quite the opposite. Mephistopheles would rather lavish his charges in decadence and feed their worse traits until they become the worse version of themselves.
* DealWithTheDevil: He's the TropeCodifier and the unique buff he gives is literally called '''Deal with the Devil'''. The buff works in tandem with the debuff '''Price of Contract''' both of which are given by his first skill. While the unit is holding both status, they will receive a whooping 6x multiplier to their attack, 20 CP, and a minor defense boost for 2 turns. Of course, this being a Faustian bargain, there's a catch. While the buff last 2 turns, the debuff last 6 and without the buff, the debuff will activate, causing the unit to take [[DamageIncreasingDebuff extra damage]] and lock skill activation. This means it's critical that the player consistently refresh the buff on the affected unit whenever it expires.
* {{Guyliner}}: Mephistopheles has noticeably dark outlines around his eyes which are likely natural rather than the result of products as similar marks can be seen on the fur on his cheeks.
* TheHedonist: Not him, but what he turns all his summoners into if given the chance, which he'll enjoy every second of.
* IdenticalStranger: Looks very suspiciously similar to a beefed up version of Lil' Salomon. Though his face is less cartoonish than Lil Sal's. Dialogue from chapter 11 implies he's some interconnected piece to Salomon and the Player, but this has yet to be elaborated upon.
** His character bio states his present appearance is merely a reflection of Salomon, who's completely unrelated to him. This might have something to do with his nature as a Shadow and thus a reflection of his masters whose souls currently resides within the Player.
* LostLenore: It's implied that he harbored more than simple interest in Faust, but failed to claim his soul like in [[Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe's]] famous play adaptation of the novel.
* MagicallyBindingContract: His second Sacred Artifact, his infernal contract for making Faustian bargains.
* MagicMirror: His first Sacred Artifact, a light reflecting mirror that allows him to teleport between mirrors.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He's one of the most famous demons in Western literature and wears a stylish mask to hide his uncanny resemblance to Lil Salomon. He ditches the mask in the latter half of chapter 11.
* MeaningfulName: Mephistopheles, He Who Does Not Love the Light, doesn't mean he's [[WeakenedByTheLight weak to light]], rather it references his nature as a Shadow, both figurative and literal, to the light he serves. He is the shadow casted by the shining light of his master's soul.
* MirrorMonster: He has the ability appear from any mirror, which his 4 star art depicts.
* NiceShoes: Wears special shoes that accommodate for his cloven feet; they even have horseshoe-like soles built into the bottom.
* ShoutOut: Mephisto's alternative skin serves as one for his historical portrayals in plays, where his character was often dressed in a crimson jester-like costume and thus became the meme codifier for our depiction of the BigRedDevil today.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Zigzagged. He is the only character whose face is intentionally concealed in the "Infinite Days of Lives" PV.
* SlasherSmile: Flashes these when he's particularly excited.
* {{Yandere}}: He yearns for another chance to drive Faust, and thus the Player to depravity and claim their soul for his own.

->Voiced By: Creator/YasuyukiKase

Transient from the World of Deva Loka and its Representative.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Snake, though unlike the original myth, the one around his neck is simply a necklace and not flesh-and-blood.
* BeyondTheImpossible: According to Bertro, no Transient possesses the power to destroy their very world. Shiva himself is the exception.
* BlessedWithSuck: Does not take it very well that he was given the power of Love and Desire by Kamadeva, and vows to kill the protagonist who holds the soul of his archenemy.
* ChainmailBikini: His Shiva-Mahakala form features him in a black armor that covers so less that he might as well not wearing anything.
* DecompositeCharacter: As stated in Daikoku's profile, he and Daikoku(ten) aren't the same person.
* TheFaceless: Like Algernon, Shiva hides his face with a helmet.
* FusionDance: Merges with the Exception Mahakala to become the Warmonger's ultimate weapon, Shiva-Mahakala.
* TheJuggernaut: The few story battles against Shiva are all HoldTheLine missions, as Shiva cannot even be actually harmed in these battles.
* MulticoloredHair: Black and white, just like his equivalent, Daikoku, though his is more Shonen-hair variant.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: As per his legend, though they're disembodied mechanical hands here and can transform into two of his clones. The two duplicates of Shiva represents his Past and Future, while he himself represents the Present.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Gains them on his shoulders in his Shiva-Mahakala form.
* ThirdEye: He has a third eye, and if it opens bad things are about to happen.
* ThongOfShielding: Part of his alternate costume, again, like Daikoku.
* UnexpectedCharacter: InUniverse. With Daikoku's mythological origin's association with Shiva, no one expects the original guy himself to appear in the game.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Due to his history with Kamadeva in the past, he is weak against those that share similar power with his archenemy like Shinya, who forces him to flee with the power of Cupid's arrow.

!!In General

One of the Three True Guilds led by World Representatives that wish to utilize the Protagonist to win the game and dominate all other Worlds for their own ends.

!!Perun
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_perun01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

----

* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Fittingly as he is the high god of Slavic mythology.
* GoodLuckCharm: The pauldron on his left shoulder was enchanted with the ability to repel “misfortunes”. [[spoiler: He had it commissioned from Hephaestus.]]
* LustObject: He briefly talked about “claiming” Shinya from Temujin if given the chance.
* ManiacTongue: One of his expression is this.
* RapePillageAndBurn: Seemingly his MO and really the MO of his entire guild as per their namesake.
* ShockAndAwe: Energy radiates from his being and he is implied to possess similar powers as Zeus.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His presence in the game is this to the [[spoiler: Greek Pantheon]]. Because of his similar Roles and Rules, [[spoiler: Zeus]] can't directly involve himself in the events of the Game, forcing him to use a proxy in the form of [[spoiler:Cupid]] his stead.
* TopGod: He's this in the Slavic mythology.
* UnusualEyebrows: Energy arcs from both their outer tips.
* VaporWear: His outfit consist of a cape, pauldron, greaves, and a speedo.

!!Volkh Vseslav
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_volkv01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
!!!'''Voiced By''':

A wolf transient and the Shadow of Horkeu Kamui. Ideologically opposed to everything Kamui stands for, he seemingly is on a vendetta against the trainer of heroes.
----

* AnIcePerson: The aura in his hand has snow floating in it, and his charge skill uses ice in its animation.
* TheDragon: He seems to be this to Perun.
* FashionVictimVillain: His outfit is a skin tight leotard, under a set of armor with a tabard, one pauldron and boots that look like he's just stepped in wet concrete. Needless to say, it all clashes.
* {{Foil}}: To Horkeukamui obviously. Both are wolf men who took people in to raise heroes to defend their realms only for them to die, and both have ice related abilities. Where Horkeukamui only took one person at a time, typically children who had no famly or loved ones, Volkh took children en masse. And where Horkeukamui is shown to have doubts and regrets about his role and ideals on his own, but no clue how to think differently, Volkh has no regrets even though he can't see the faults in his own logic.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In chapter 9 he soundly defeats Horkeukamui, one of few characters who can use both reflect and nullify debuff. Volkh deals double damage to any foe with one of those and quadruple to those with both.
* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler: He seemingly summoned the spirits of all Kamui's deceased students and sicced them on him to capture him.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Zig-zaged. He appears completely wolf like, but is described as being born of humans. In addition he has the title of Werewolf Prince.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His distaste for Horkeukamui comes from his intense disagreement for placing the onus of heroism on a single child, knowing that heroes always die early. Volkh instead advocates that all children should be raised as heroes. His profile notes that he cannot see the logical failures of this viewpoint.
* NoSell: He was able to casually nullify Kamui's powers.
* ShadowArchetype: As Horkeu Kamui's Shadow, he is essentially everything Kamui hates about himself and regrets given form.

!!Temujin
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_temujin01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Archer of the Plains'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/MasatoUshiki

A Transient from Xanadu, a world filled with grand plains, he is adept with the bow and arrow. The wolf king of the plains, Borte Chinoa the Great, and the white doe are the ancestors he is proud to honor. As heir to the leadership of his people, he has been summoned to Tokyo to expand his horizons as well as to build relationships at the Archery club while honing his archery skills. He respects those skilled in archery.
----

* ArcherArchetype: Independent? Check. Arrogant? Big check.
* DefeatMeansRespect: During his Golden Week event, Shinya strikes his fancy and is invited to be a part of his harem. When he declines, Temujin angrily tries to arrange a duel between the two archers with the condition that Shinya be part of his harem if he wins. However, when Shinya throws away an opportunity to win the match in favor of helping Temujin after a coughing fit nearly gets him thrown from his horse Temujin relents, saying his pride would not stand for winning in such a way. Instead, he declares he will win Shinya's heart naturally, agreeing to be [[FriendlyRivalry Friendly Rivals]] for the time being.
* EtTuBrute: He closed himself off emotionally and refuses friendship after being betrayed by his once closest ally, [[spoiler: one of the souls hosted within the protagonist: Jamukha.]]
* HaremSeeker: Will ask anyone that catches his eye to be a part of his harem without the least bit of reservation.
* HeirClubForMen: Due to his SoapOperaDisease, he is extremely open about his desire to have as many children as possible, seeing it as proof that he existed.
* HomosexualReproduction: Capable of this due to his Rule, and is apparently commonplace in his homeland.
* SecretlyDying: Tries to hide his illness, due to his general distrust of others and desire to be independent.
* SoapOperaDisease: Has an unspecified, chronic illness which he expects to die young from.

!!Masanori
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fg_masanori01.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''The Mentalist'']]
!!!'''Voiced By''': Creator/TakahiroMiyamoto

A Transient from the Land of Wa and one of the Hakkenshi, bearing the orb of Courtesy. Masanori is constantly thinking about the decorum that divides man and beast. As such, he is a diligent person who focuses on history, literature, and psychology in his attempts to learn about it. It's said that those who come in contact with him have their perspectives up to that point jolted in an instant. In some neighborhoods, he gets tremendous support as a mentalist. He is also second to none when it comes to tracing the thoughts of victims and assailants of crime scenes. Many in the police force believe it's as if he were possessed by the spirits of the dead. Masanori himself would say it's just insufficient to the literary talent he desires. Masanori may be born a dogman, but he was raised and abused by a monster cat. Due to this he has a bit of an identity crisis and spends every day affirming that he is a dog. Today is another day that he spends looking for a certain something that will not change even if the values of the world suddenly flip around.

Like the other Hakkenshi he is based on a character from Literature/NansouSatomiHakkenden - in his case the {{Bookworm}} Inumura Daikaku.
