[[folder: The Quinx]]
An experimental group operating under the authority of Kishou Arima and Akira Mado. Its members have been surgically modified to give them the abilities of Ghouls, with the stated intention of creating an Investigator that can surpass Arima. However, their lack of accomplishments and inhuman traits have made them unpopular among their peers.

!!Tropes Applying to the Quinx:
* BlackSheep: They are looked down on by other Investigators, and viewed with suspicion.
* FiveManBand: The team consists of five hybrids.
** TheLeader: Haise Sasaki, the team's mentor and leader.
** TheLancer: Kuki Urie, the rebellious and ambitious Squad Leader.
** TheBigGuy: Shirazu, the caring but not-so-bright fighter.
** TheSmartGuy: Tooru Mutsuki, the thoughtful and obedient NonActionGuy.
** TheChick: Saiko Yonebayashi, the lone female member.
* HalfHumanHybrid: The Quinx are stated to be "humans with an installed Quinque", making it unclear where the line between Human and Ghoul is drawn. Their mentor, Haise Sasaki, is stated to be different from them.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: They are beings created to hunt Ghouls using the powers of Ghouls.
* ImAHumanitarian: Averted. The Quinx can still eat human food, at least as long as their RC levels remain below 1000. After that, Dr. Shiba estimates they will become unable to consume human food.
* ProHumanTranshuman: Though modified from their original human state, all use their powers to protect humanity from Ghouls.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: None of them ''seem'' like normal Investigators, being an odd assortment of personalities that leads to difficulty operating as a team.
* SuperiorSuccessor: The team's explicit purpose is to create a successor that can surpass Arima.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They really aren't good at working together, with Urie and Shirazu in particular prone to running off on their own.

A Rank 1 Investigator, and member of Hirako's team. He comes across as playful and friendly, but expresses misgivings about the existence of the Quinix.

* AlliterativeName: Lampshaded. His name and rank are both "Itou", so he suggests Haise just call him "Kuramoto" for ease.
* AscendedExtra: He appears as an unnamed extra in the original series, and now plays a much more significant role as one of Sasaki's coworkers.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Giving the impression of someone untrustworthy.

An Investigator operating out of the 1st Ward, and assigned the "Torso" case. He does not bother to hide his disdain towards the Quinix, and uses multiple opportunities to humiliate Sasaki.
