History Characters / UnderNightInBirth2SysCeles

* BoobsOfSteel: Zigzagged in that while she's a long-ranged fighter unlike her colleagues, she's easily the most well endowed in the team.

* {{Expy}}: A nigh-immortal being with untold and potentially limitless amounts of power who wears a large robe to conceal most of his youthful body, shares a personal connection to one of the main protagonists of the series, and ''also'' acts as TheChessmaster and serves as the BigBad of a fighting game series. He's basically the light novel equivalent of [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Asuka R. Kreutz]]. The sequel makes this much more apparent as he has allowed himself to age forward just like Asuka has in ''-STRIVE-''. The whole body double thing also somehow lined up this coincidence as well.

* AllLovingHero: Tsurugi chose a shield as his signature weapon out of a desire to protect everyone.

* HotBlooded: Tsurugi is upbeat and lively with a slight air of charisma that alludes to his position. Also has the most easily excited expression among the new character portraits.

* {{Bishonen}}: As expected from bearing the Secret Art of Immortality, Kuon has very soft, childlike features. Becomes even more of one in the sequel where he has noticeably aged up to the form of a young adult while retaining his soft features.

* AffectionateNickname: Apparently Tsurugi calls Hyde "Kido-cchi".

[[folder:Kaguya]]
!!Kaguya Seikaiguu

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uni2sc_box_1.jpg]]

-> A Sixth Rank Executor who is a member of Orie's Executor Squad, fulfilling the role of long-range support with her firearms. Kaguya is described as the typical high-class lady who concerns herself over matters of honor and the likes. While her three close friends were from orphanages, Kaguya herself hails from a well-renowned family. She along with Lex were sent ahead of Orie and Mika to Japan to investigate the city of Kanzakai and its recent increase of In-Birth activity. She apparently was assigned to a different location and only met with Orie, before the former reunited with Lex, and went off on her assignment.\\\
Her EXS Abilities are as of now unknown but concept art has shown she utilizes two pistols.

%%* ActionGirl
* AmazonBrigade: She acts as the long-range support in Orie's Executor Squad.
* BoobsOfSteel: Zigzagged in that while she's a long-ranged fighter unlike her colleagues, she's easily the most well endowed in the team.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Much like Enkidu, Kaguya's eyes are always seen shut, giving her an air of refined, composed elegance and also alludes to her nature as a [[TheGadfly gadfly]].
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Her concept design shows that she wears a dress similar to Orie's but much more ornate and slightly more {{Stripperific}} with how it shows off some cleavage. She also seems to wear a bridal-veil in and out of her combat uniform.
* GunsAkimbo: Her primary weapons are a pair of large, antique-looking pistols.
* {{Himecut}}: She has blunt bangs along with her long hair.
%%* LadyofWar
* LongHairIsFeminine: Has long, straight black-hair.
* TheOjou: Unlike her friends who all share similar upbringings as orphans, Kaguya is said to be a from a renowned family.
* SupremeChef: Is credited to being the primary cook among the girls. She baked the cake that is seen in one of Orie's Birthday Illustrations.
* {{Troll}}: She frequently messes around with Mika and tells her wrong information about how to conduct herself and the utter importance of breast size.
* TheUnseen: She was first seen as a silhouette alongside her companions where Orie was the only one visible in the Arcade Opening of the first iteration of the game. Later she shows up in the ending slide picture for Orie's Arcade Mode along with the other girls and she is even directly mentioned in Orie's voiced birthday message. Even in Chronicle Mode where a bunch of new characters were given models, Kaguya is nowhere to be seen despite being mentioned by Lex, Mika, and Orie.

[[folder:Tsurugi]]
!!Tsurugi
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukiIshiya\\

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uni2sc_box.jpg]]

-> The second-in-command of the Exist Force Guardians, AKA the EFG, a vigilante group made by and for students that became In-Births to help acclimate to their new abilities. Tsurugi scouted out Phonon after hearing rumors of an incident involving her and her subsequent absence in school, leading him to deduce that she awakened her abilities as an In-Birth. Tsurugi is a second-year high school student who attends the same school as Hyde and is noted as being good friends with him. He is a positive and cheery young man, if a bit reckless and headstrong, being described by Phonon as a typical sports jock. His tendency to rush straight into action has left him under the watchful eye of Komatsu, the student council's secretary and fellow In-Birth who he often butts heads with.\\\
While nothing has been said about his EXS abilities as of now, Tsurugi's weapon of choice is an [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe enormous shield]].

[[folder:Kuon]]
!!Kuon The Eternal
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura (''Under Night In-Birth''), TBA (''Sys:Celes'')

--> ''"May you seek the depths of the Abyss under this dark Night."''\\\

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20230806_015353_youtube.jpg]]

-> A mysterious, seemingly young boy, clad in a white cloak, and Linne's older brother. Kuon, thanks to his natural aptitude for the blade, was the de-facto leader of the original group of villagers that made up the Night Blade when he led them into battle against the invading armies of Licht Kreis led by Waldstein. When in-fighting between the reformists and moderate factions began after the war, the village elder decided to hide the secret techniques of EXS and seal them within two of the villagers. Kuon volunteered himself and his sister to be the ones to bear this burden and had the Secret Art of Eternity engraved onto his very body. Kuon soon left the village after this event as he thought that staying would only cause more trouble to an already splintering faction. His last act was leaving his sister under the protection of Waldstein, who had turned from Licht Kreis after Kuon had saved him from transforming into a Void. He has traveled alone for the past five hundred years and has recently resurfaced to carry out his plans; plans that involve his sister, Hyde, Seth, and Hilda.\\\
\\
Eventually, Hilda is defeated by Hyde, giving Kuon the perfect opportunity to put his plans into effect. As the darkest night falls, Kuon begins his preparations, which may very well bring about the end of the world.\\\
\\
Kuon was granted with an abnormal amount of EXS from the Hollow God and the power that originates from it stands in the same league as a Re-Birth, making his status as one ambiguous. He formerly dual wielded a traditional set of katanas in combat although it is not known what sort of abilities he can utilize now aside from his immortality. He was the original wielder of the Insulator, which he used to cut off the overflow of EXS that was turning Waldstein into a Void.

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Tsurugi has been said to be one hell of a fighter, but actually focuses more on defense than offense due to his weapon, and even Phonon could tell that there would be no way of ever beating him in a fight.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Tsurugi has been said to be one hell of a fighter, but actually focuses more on defense than offense due to his weapon, and even Phonon could tell that there would be no way of ever beating him in a fight.

* FieryRedhead: Tsurugi, though it's more orange than red.
* GreatOffscreenWar: Not so catastrophic as a war but Hilda mentions during Hyde's Chronicle Mode episode that Amnesia had recently won a skirmish against a student-group she misremembers as the DEF, when she most likely meant EFG, and initially thought Hyde was one of their members out to avenge their defeat. Tsurugi was no doubt among the people present for that event.

* IronicName: Tsurugi's name literally translates to "blade" in Japanese but Tsurugi's weapon of choice is a shield.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Tsurugi's signature weapon.
* RedOniBlueOni: Tsurugi is the red while Komatsu is the blue.

* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite being described as your average muscle head, Tsurugi has shown to be quite skilled at deducing and getting information from others. He was able to see through Phonons admittedly poor attempt to hide the fact that she had any incidents but Tsurugi's investigation on her made him see through her act. He was also spot on in guessing Phonon's true facade whenever the topic of In-Births and weapons came up.

* RedBaron: He is often referred to as "The Weaver of Eternity" or "The Eternal Aeon".

* CloningGambit: Linne mentions that if Hyde saw was true about Kuon appearing in the body of a child then he was only maintaining that body as an extension of himself and that he cannot truly manifest his true body for whatever reason.

* {{Expy}}: A nigh-immortal being with untold and potentially limitless amounts of power who wears a large robe to conceal most of his youthful body, shares a personal connection to one of the main protagonists of the series, and ''also'' acts as TheChessmaster and serves as the BigBad of a fighting game series. He's basically the light novel equivalent of [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Asuka R. Kreutz]]. The sequel makes this much more apparent as he has allowed himself to age forward just like Asuka has in ''-STRIVE-''.

* TheChessmaster: If Linne's observations are right about the night Hyde was bitten, it seems as though Kuon planned for Hyde to be bitten all along, creating patches of EXS in a way that eluded Linne's notice that would draw Hyde into the Night.

* AffectionateNickname: Apparently Tsurugi calls Hyde Kido-cchi.

* HotBlooded: Tsurugi is upbeat and lively with a slight air of charisma that alludes to his position.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Tsurugi's signature weapon..

* RememberTheNewGuy: Tsurugi is said to be good friends with Hyde, which credits him so far as Hyde's only male acquaintance at school.

* GunsAkimbo: Her primary weapons are firearms and she dual wields pistols.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: He is the former-leader of the Night Blade and is definitely no slouch in battle, being able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Waldstein and come out on top. He was even described as being a natural swordsman.

* FinalBoss: He is being set up as this in the sequel, ''[sys:celes]'', as well as for the entire franchise as a whole since the sequel is the GrandFinale to the story.

* RedBaron: He is often referred to as "The Eternal Aeon."

* VaguenessIsComing: Kuon's plans have been kept in the dark for a long, long time. All we know is that it requires Linne being kept alive for her Art of Reincarnation (And kept under watch by Kuu to make sure no one loses track of her), Hilda being manipulated into opening up the Abyss, Seth and Chaos being used as middlemen to make sure no one is none the wiser, and Hyde also plays into it for currently unknown reasons. This all leads up to something Kuon himself calls Sistema Celeste. With the announcement of the sequel, which bears the namesake of ''[sys:celes]'' and where Kuon is confirmed to be playable, it seems we will at long last know what it exactly entails.

This all leads up to something Kuon himself calls Sistema Celeste, and we will probably never truly know what that is until he ever becomes playable.

* TheAgeless: Looks and sounds almost as young as Linne does.

* BigBad: Of the entire series, although his intent is unknown. The only thing he ever talks about that involves his plans is an event he calls "Sistema Celeste".

* {{Bishonen}}: As expected from bearing the Secret Art of Immortality, Kuon has very soft, childlike features.

* BenevolentBoss: Tsurugi isn't the proper leader of the EFG, he mainly does most of the work involving new recruits and acts friendly towards all of them. He's done enough recruiting to have an informal protocol for bringing students from outside the school to the Student Council Room. While the real leader is the yet unseen Student Council President of the school, the Student Council Room is utilized as the EFG's Headquarters.
* FieryRedhead: Tsurugi, though it's more orange than red.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He, and by extension his boss, most likely thought that [[{{Chuunibyou}} Phonon]] could have had her desire to freely use her powers be contained and use her powers to protect the innocent. Tsurugi still most likely predicted she would go off on her own. They still believed that she would be inclined to do good, instead of going around reveling in her new powers.
* HotBlooded: Tsurugi is upbeat and lively with a slight air of charisma that alludes to his position.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Tsurugi surprisingly has one in Chronicle Mode, aptly titled "Tsurugi".
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Tsurugi's signature weapon..
* RedOniBlueOni: Tsurugi is the red while Komatsu is the blue.
