In fact, Tokilock [[LampshadeHanging manages to see how similar he looks compared to the florist Ittoki]], only to be made to believe that he is Ittoki cosplaying as Otoyarsène.

The professor who collaborated with the government agency Hero Lab, Toki is a genius scientist who has an obsession with creating true heroes and some...unique quirks.
----
* DefectorFromDecadence: He used to work for the Android Project at the Change Chamber, but when he realized it was a corrupted facility that aimed for shady purposes, he released Cess from it, then planned for his own defection after he would finish the Hero Seed recreation.
* FatherlyScientist: He took an active role in shaping Cess into the good-natured, human-loving android he is now.
* GadgeteerGenius: He singlehandedly creates Lightwing’s suit, equipments and training machines.
* GiverOfLameNames: His inventions have ridiculously long and and too literal names, such as the "Strong as a Rampaging Homunculus Glove". Lightwing calls him out on it quite often.
--> '''Lightwing:''' ''"Even if he's got no naming sense, Professor Toki's inventions seriously rock!"''
* HumansAreSpecial: He has this viewpoint, believing that a true hero can only be born from human and whatever artificial humanoids with enhanced strength the Change Chamber wanted him to create was the exact opposite of his ideal.
* MadScientist: A handsome one on the side of good, but still. He’s so single-minded in his goal to shape Syozawa into the perfect hero that it makes him a little unhinged sometimes - from training machines with crazy names and equally crazy methods, to inviting Syozawa to kill him after revealing the truth about Hero Seed to the hero.
* NotAfraidToDie: In Episode 8 of the ''Seize the Desire'' event story, after he reveals the truth to Syozawa, he claims that he "would be satisfied to be killed by a hero" and even casually hands him a weapon.
* RedHerring: The narration of the ''Face Destiny'' event makes it seem like he was the spy who stole the Change Chamber’s Hero Seed to use on Cess. It’s not until Minebuki’s debut that the spy is revealed to be a totally different person who has no relation to him.
* SeriousBusiness: Finding and creating a true hero of justice is this for him. Back in the Change Chamber, he refused to escape with Cess because he had yet to finish his research to recreate the Hero Seed, even though the situation at that point was dangerous for his own life.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Tokiya wears glasses to act the role of a scientist.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Machine scraps and junks scatter all over his lab every time Syozawa visits him.

--> ''”I'm Lord Darkmoon, an evil organization executive.”''
An executive of the evil organization Future Calamity and controller of their secret weapon, the Cutify Ray. Despite being Lightwing’s [[ArchEnemy arch-nemesis]], he is obsessed with all things cute and also has his own code of justice.
----
* AffablyEvil: Calling him "evil" would be [[AntiVillain quite a stretch]], but when he calls for a temporary truce with Lightwing in order to stop "Mr.Ball" from harming the children, he is quite affable and civil, and even calls Lightwing cute. After subduing Ike, he thanks the heroes for their cooperation and apologizes for the trouble the organization’s internal clumsiness has caused, before politely announces their upcoming restructuring.
* AntiVillain: His goal to grant the weak power does sound quite noble in nature and he generally doesn’t mean harm - it’s just that he doesn't mind his creations going on a rampage. Alongside having a complex about being weak, implied to have lost his memory before stumbling down the path of villainy and being very affable towards the heroes, he’s meant to be the sympathetic villain one would not want to hate.
* BadassCape: Has an impressive one.
* BenevolentBoss: He is very pleasant towards Oto and almost never imposes his superiority upon the latter even though he has all the rights and reasons to do so. Furthermore, he snaps back from his VillainousBsod and sides with Lightwing for once after Oto [[TakingTheBullet got hurt]] because of Darkmoon’s creation.
* {{Foil}}: To Alan, fellow Future Destroyer whose origin is related to a member of the heroes side. Darkmoon is a human-origin AntiVillain, BenevolentBoss and WellIntentionedExtremist with insecurity about his power, whose descent to villainy is not even his intention in the first place, and is implied to [[spoiler:host the prototype of the Hero Seed Lightwing has]]. Alan is a malicious, destructive BloodKnight android who would abandon his loyal servant at the drop of hat just because, TheAce of Future Calamity and reasonably proud of his power, as well as being created using Cess as the model - which technically makes him a copy of Cess.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He has a complex about being a weakling, to the point he [[PsychologicalProjection projects it]] onto objects he’s about to bestow power on.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Lost his memory before he joined the Future Calamity, but gradually recalls them in his event.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: He thinks he and Lightwing may have more in common than they previously believed, as they’re both able to exist thanks to another influence. Lightwing isn’t very happy about it.
** Even more so due to the implication that Darkmoon survived the accident that almost took his life because [[spoiler:someone put a Hero Seed inside him]], just like Lightwing.
* VillainousBsod: As he realizes he fails to understand the ball's wishes and almost harms passerby children in process, he breaks down and freezes up on the spot even when the giant ball is heading towards him until Lightwing snaps him out of it.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His entire goal is to bestow power upon the cute and precious, which stem from a desire to preserve them from the pain of the world.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He has no qualms letting the enlarged, given-a-sentience toys wrecking around as long as he thinks they’re enjoying it, but when a giant soccer ball he gave life to charges towards the children nearby, he panics and later is willing to side with Lightwing to stop its rampage.

* IOweYouMyLife: Darkmoon saved him once and gave him somewhere to belong, for which he is eternally grateful for.
* TakingTheBullet: He pushed Darkmoon out of the way of a sentient giant soccer ball and got himself injured. Luckily, Professor Toki is quick to provide emergency medical aid.

* BrokenTears: He’s shown crying in the ruin of a city in Episode 2 of "Haze of Justice" side story, due to the painful realization that [[HeelRealization the Change Chamber’s research only brought upon endless pain and destruction.]]
* DeathSeeker: According to Rentokuji, him repeatedly self-blaming for everything is a show of his desire to "be judged for straying from the path of humanity", as in wanting to pull a DeathEqualsRedemption.

A mystic-in-training. He's still a high school student, so during the day he gets to enjoy a wholesome school life with his classmates, but by night he trains to become a full-fledged mystic.

* {{Determinator}}: He spends every single day arriving at Shiraai’s place just to talk with him and convince him to move out of the spirit village.
* DisappearedDad: His father died when he was a child for unknown reason, so he inherited the shrine.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: He dreamed about Shiraai before they even meet face-to-face, and unwittingly saw the truth behind the latter’s situation - [[CagedBirdMetaphor caged]] inside his immortality and duty; though Otoharu doesn’t seem to realize it.

----
* BarrierWarrior: He can create powerful barriers that prevent unwanted visits from other supernatural entities.
* BigGood: Being the most powerful [[note]]Hebigami makes a point to refer to him as "the powerful Tenko" in his narration (whereas for Kotobuki and Ran he only calls them by their race), something he has no need to do unless it’s undeniable fact[[/note]] and (probably) oldest spirit ally of Otoharu, as well as a benevolent BunnyEarsLawyer makes him this for our main characters.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He still has Natsuki’s {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendency, though this time paired with presumably hundreds of years in age and a high rank among the fox spirits with power to match.
--> '''Shonoshin:''' ''"Most high-ranking fox spirits tend to be a little weird."''

* AntiHero: He does wish for the good of others, but he values his personal ideal too much to actively act on it.
* TheDreaded: He is incredibly feared, with a mere mention of his name is enough to allow plenty of the academy’s students to get away with tons of troubles they’ve created.
* GeniusBruiser: Ren may seem like your typical slacking delinquent, but alongside his muscle powers he’s also among the school’s top 100.
* HeroicNeutral: He is a loner who strives to keep a distance from others and usually refrains from getting involved with people personally.

--> ''”Seinomiya here, head of disciplinary committee!”''
Head of the disciplinary committee at Shining Academy. Unlike Masato, he’s friendly and a softie.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Seems almost too soft to be in the disciplinary committee, but there’s a reason he’s its head. He carries a training sword with him when checking the students’ attire and attitude in front of the school for crying out loud!
* CutenessProximity: He squeals at the animal latte arts when going on patrol with Masato in a cafe. The real Natsuki claims that his character will overlook someone snuggling sweets - especially cute-looking ones like the Piyo-chan macarons - into the academy because he himself likes cute things too.
* OddFriendship: Friendship between a delinquent and the head of disciplinary committee is unlikely, but it happens in his and Syo’s case. When he chases after Syo in Episode 2 of the latter’s side story, he just wants to share the milk pudding.
* OnlyFriend: Thanks to his NiceGuy tendency, he’s the only one who could tolerate Masato pre-CharacterDevelopment.
* NiceGuy: He’s very friendly towards the students, even those who break the rules. When asked to be stricter by Masato, he just brushes it off saying that’s more Masato’s department than his.

A first-year at the Shining Academy and the secretary of the student council. He’s brilliant but lonely and troubled, as beneath the diligence exists a restrained desire.
----
* BrokenPedestal: He is shocked to find out that Masato - the person he has always been told to become - is associated with delinquents.
** RebuiltPedestal: But after hearing the truth behind it, his respect and admiration towards Masato comes back quickly.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: He can’t drink [[RealMenTakeItBlack black coffee]], an indication of how he’s still a naive child who would cling onto a [[BitchInSheepsClothing seemingly supportive]] adult figure despite the latter being blatantly suspicious.
* EducationMama: His parents force him to study and join the student council against his will.
* HeroicBsod: Upon discovering Masato’s "conspiracy" with delinquents, he panics, thinking that [[AllForNothing all of his efforts to become like Masato may have been in vain]], and almost breaks down on the spot. It takes Masato explaining how those so-called delinquents was the reason why he [[TookALevelInKindness changed for the better]] to calm Ai down.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He has great trust in Mr. Camille, who is commented on by his actor to be blatantly suspicious.
* UnwittingPawn: Camille uses him in an attempt to get a hold on the school’s AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil.
* {{Workaholic}}: He is worn out from managing the works at the student council and striving to become a StudentCouncilPresident like Masato per his parents’ expectations, which makes him very vulnerable to manipulation and easy to act impulsively.

Ranmaru points out that his expression means the barista wouldn’t want anything less than throwing some hands into the face of those overconfident fools.
* NoodleIncident: What exactly caused him to give up on his power over Shining Academy and the area around it years ago? He didn’t seem to be in the best mental state at the time back then, so it can hardly be sheer boredom. Is it guilt, exhaustion, or depression even?
* OverlyLongName: While many in this series qualify, Kotobukinomikado has ''eight'' freaking syllables.
* RetiredBadass: In the past, as the former head of the Black Orchid gang, he united all the gangs in the area and controlled Shining Academy from the shadows before mysteriously giving up on his own achievements.

* BeleagueredAssistant: He has his hands full from handling Otoya’s boisterousness and hotheadedness, as well as Cecil’s bouts of {{cloudcuckoolander}} moments.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Syo, and they still maintain their good relationship even when they’re of the rivaling schools.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: He loves normal daily life, but apparently his surroundings which consist of school rivalry and gang conflicts won't allow him that anytime soon.
* NotSoStoic: Despite his prim and proper demeanor, he still has a mischievous side which is put on display when he expresses satisfaction after Syo steals the strawberry on Otoya’s parfait, citing it as the karma for having stolen Tokiya’s lunch for god knows how many times.

----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: For some reason, he decides to tell the Shining Academy’s student council that he’s going to take over their district when he is supposed to only do a surveillance, much to Tokiya’s exasperation.
** In Tokiya’s "Student Council Member" side story, he insists on visiting a bakery in Shining Academy district after he just practically declared war to their student council the other day.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Otoya and Tokiya keep him from knowing that they’re spreading rumors about Shining Academy to make people defect to Noble Institute, believing that since it remains to be seen if Noble Institute '''must''' take control of the Shining Academy district, Cecil doesn’t need to be burdened with currently unnecessary information. Subverted when it turns out Cecil knows all along.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: All of his actions stem from a desire to provide every student the peace and safety they deserve when they go to school. When he knows gang leaders cause disturbances within Noble Institute‘s school district and terrify students, unlike his predecessor who turned a blind eye to such things, he takes action to purge them.

The surviving prince of a severely polluted planet that was ravaged by a great interstellar war. Growing up with only a servant by his side, he hopes that by growing new plants they can somehow rejuvenate the devastated land and reunite with other survivors.
----
* CaringGardener: He is actively studying botany and experimenting with soils and seeds so that he can grow plants and revitalize long-lost flora in the outside world, as it is their only hope of purifying the lethally polluted air.
* AChildShallLeadThem: He’s the only surviving member of the royal family, which means when the planet is healed and the country is to be rebuilt, he will undeniably become its new ruler, though according to dialogues it seems he’s currently just a teenager.
* {{Determinator}}: Even though countless sprouts have wilted, he never gives up on trying to grow plants on the planet.
* HeroicBsod: He comes ''very'' close to hitting a DespairEventHorizon when he realizes if he and Syo are the {{Sole Survivor}}s, there will be no reason to rejuvenate the planet. Luckily Syo snaps him out of it.
* KingIncognito: Hides his identity as the prince to the people in the other shelter, who are Natsuki and Masato, and only introduces himself as a botanist/nobleman.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He wants to revive his dead planet via planting flowers on it.
* RoyaltySuperpower: As the prince, he can stay outside of the shelter up to near 30 minutes more than normal people, presumably due to genetically better body conditions.

* {{Foil}}: To Lieutenant Colonel Natsuki. They're both the mentor figure to their shelter mate and looking after the other's growth, but Syo is Ai's servant while Natsuki is Masato's superior officer. Syo has the strictness rarely seen from a servant towards their master; Natsuki has the gentleness and friendliness that shouldn’t exist in the harsh military environment.
* HeroicRrod: In Episode 8 of the event story, he starts coughing and collapses after staying outside for nearing his time limit, which causes him to be bedridden several days after.

--> ''”It is our job to satisfy the daily influx of new desires. Clients are our lifeblood. Thank you for your support.”''
An elusive, free-spirited arms dealer who goes by the name Tokiya, before the reveal that his true name is Jìyè Dōng. He has connections to Red Tiger Society, a powerful group from a far off country, and together with his companion Otoya he comes offering a deal to the Camillo family.
----
* ArmsDealer
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Though none of their age are specified, he’s apparently the youngest of the cast and frequently treated as a problem child by Camillo. His childish behaviors do not help his case.
* BerserkButton: He doesn’t like being looked down because of his young age, and is visibly annoyed when he thinks Makoto does so.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Implied. He doesn’t appear to have much respect for the "nagging elders" back home who seems to be his higher-ups in the Red Tiger Society, to the point of traveling from place to place in hope of escaping their eyes, calling a place without them "paradise", and scolding Dùyè Wáng for mentioning them in a "momentous night".
* DisproportionateRetribution: In Chapter 2 of Tokiya’s "Red Tiger Society" side story, he kills a man merely for being a {{Jerkass}} after bumping into him. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since he is in need of more notoriety so that Camillo would think of him higher, and being unfairly brutal is a quick shortcut.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage:
* {{Guyliner}}: If one looks at him a little closer, they will notice that he wears red eyeliner.
* SweetTooth: He loves his peach steamed buns, and in ''No More Order'' he was late to Michael and Ray’s performance because he wanted to buy roasted chestnuts. He also responded to Shinon’s friendship offer that they would make good friends especially if the latter enjoys sweets.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: His and Otoya’s outfits are blatantly Chinese, he sells weapons to TheMafia, and he belongs to a secret society called ''Red Tiger'' - a name you would expect from a Chinese criminal organization - which is implied to have a hierarchical system if Tokiya’s mentions about "the family" and "our nagging elders" is any indication.

----
* AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: He knows kung fu and is asked by Ray to teach him how to do it in Chapter 1 of Otoya’s "Red Tiger Society".
* BeleagueredAssistant: Jìyè Dōng is free-spirited and sometimes still acts like a spoiled child, so Dùyè Wáng has his hands full from trying to keep his partner from acting impulsively.
* BloodBrothers: According to Jìyè Dōng, Dùyè Wáng is like a family to him and and they "made a vow" long ago, suggesting that his relationship with Jìyè Dōng is this.
* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: Played for Laugh. Jìyè Dōng is annoyed that Dùyè Wáng refused to do negotiations for him and pointed out how Camillo was testing his skill - which Jìyè Dōng failed to realize, so he threatens to not give Dùyè Wáng any of the peach steamed buns he brought back.

* BadassInANiceSuit: He dresses in a proper three-piece suit usually seen from high-ranking yakuza.
* BerserkButton: When a robber disarmed by Syori called him and Makoto outcasts, Makoto got so angered he pulled the gun’s trigger and killed the man immediately. He does that again in ''No More to Rule'' the moment he realizes the boss of the bandits referred to him as "outsider". Apparently, he harbors a hatred for being seen as an outcast in general because of his AllOfTheOtherReindeer childhood.

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Though it isn’t seen on the [=Live2D=] model or artworks, in lore his eyes are described by Makoto as sorrowful and clouded by an "unimaginable darkness".
* FishOutOfWater: It’s evident that he has been quite out of touch with society, and instinctively chooses violence as the way to deal with Camillo’s rival families because back in his day, it was the only way he knew.
* SilentScapegoat: He willingly went to prison under his boss’ order to settle a recent conflict, though he made no effort to hide that he could totally break out if he wanted and would do so were he to believe the boss didn’t respect him and his sacrifice.
* TheSocialExpert: His friendliness, non-threatening demeanor, and occasional slips that he knows much more than he lets out easily draws people to him, and he has made acquaintance with the entire cast in a very short time.

* StepfordSmiler: Despite his efforts to blend in with the peaceful (on the surface) town, Shinon is still stuck in a world of his past where bloodshed is the only way to everything, which makes him feel lonely and out of touch with reality. He tries to smile through it all, as Camillo pointed out.

* BrainsAndBrawn: He does most of the actions and infiltrations. While he does have some knowledge on technology (being able to recognize that Drei was using a former client’s information for hacking), he usually leaves them to the more professional Zwei.
* InHarmsWay: He brushes aside the idea of having a desk job and living a normal life, deeming it as "boring", and prefers his more exciting and life-threatening spy career. HilariousInHindsight peeks in when you look at the businessman Hideo Syozawa of ''Hero of Justice: Lightwing'' and realize both him and our Eins here are played by the same person.

When he learns about the [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique soul switching spell]], he gets oddly excited to try it despite all the risks, and mentions to the Caged One that he jumped for joy as he stumbled across the info, thinking even an average guy like him "can have a great destiny".

* ChildProdigy: He has shown his talent since his earliest age, and was praised as being beloved by heavens.
* EccentricArtist: He has a detachment to society, obsession with creating the perfect art, and "tends to overthink and notice the stuff most people ignore" - per Roland’s words. These details are [[DiagnosedByTheAudience hinted]] to be a result of UsefulNotes/{{Autism}}.
* ForgetsToEat: One of his most prominent traits is his negligence to daily meal intakes, with Roland noting that he once forgot to eat for ''three'' whole days. Roland has to barge into his house everyday to give him food, or else he would literally starve himself without even realizing it.

* NoSocialSkills: Crowded places give him headaches, and he instinctively hides when he sees a stranger.

His thought process begins to tell him that he’s a hopeless person who has no worth except for his paintings. He also is displeased when he sees [[WriteWhoYouKnow his portrayal in Roland’s novel]] is far too noble.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A prickly perfectionist who tends to complain whenever his neighbor visits to ensure his survival, but he appreciates Roland’s kindness and thinks his presence is just holding the latter back.
* ReclusiveArtist: Apparently, he refused to engage with society after his works gradually became misunderstood, which caused him to be estranged from his parents over time. Now he locks himself up in his house and constantly churns out paintings which becomes his source of income thanks to Roland, only occasionally leaves for the forest or the park to clear his head.
* TrashOfTheTitans: According to Roland, his room is a disaster with tons of canvases pilling up.

----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He asks Bel Canto to make up a song about how sheep feel when they’re being sheared, much to the latter’s exasperation.

Credo’s companion, who suffers from memory loss and is unable to recall who he really is.

* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: He is simple and kindhearted like an unknowing child, though it contributes to his fear that his true self is far from this.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Similar to Elegy, he also dresses in all black, but he’s pleasant and nice through and through.
* HearingVoices: He mentions that he has the feeling someone is talking to him whenever he’s around demons. The voice shows itself in Episode 2 of Natsuki’s "Chords of Solitude" side story using Irise’s (or rather, Natsuki’s) voice, after he and Credo finished an exorcism.

That said, Lacrima seems genuinely surprised when he sees Liberta working for his target before he realizes it is a ruse, and thinks a little more highly of the other guy at the end.
* {{Foil}}: Lacrima is serious, morally upright and doesn’t pay attention to anything other than his job - even willing to sleep on the street if that’s more convenient. Liberta meanwhile is sociable and talkative with GreyAndGrayMorality, he is also particular about what to eat, where to sleep and "won’t accept anything less than adequate lodgings".

Of course, Zero does make an effort into hiding the whole ordeal from him since he saw how Kaito was happy to have the female customer around.

* FatherlyScientist: He took an active role in shaping Cess into the good-natured, human-loving android he is now.
* GadgeteerGenius: He singlehandedly creates Lightwing’s suit, equipments and training machines.
* GiverOfLameNames: His inventions have ridiculously long and and too literal names, such as the "Strong as a Rampaging Homunculus Glove". Lightwing calls him out on it quite often.

* HumansAreSpecial: He has this viewpoint, believing that a true hero can only be born from human and whatever artificial humanoids with enhanced strength the Change Chamber wanted him to create was the exact opposite of his ideal.
* MadScientist: A handsome one on the side of good, but still. He’s so single-minded in his goal to shape Syozawa into the perfect hero that it makes him a little unhinged sometimes - from training machines with crazy names and equally crazy methods, to inviting Syozawa to kill him after revealing the truth about Hero Seed to the hero.
* NotAfraidToDie: In Episode 8 of the ''Seize the Desire'' event story, after he reveals the truth to Syozawa, he claims that he "would be satisfied to be killed by a hero" and even casually hands him a weapon.
* RedHerring: The narration of the ''Face Destiny'' event makes it seem like he was the spy who stole the Change Chamber’s Hero Seed to use on Cess. It’s not until Minebuki’s debut that the spy is revealed to be a totally different person who has no relation to him.

--> ''”I'm Lord Darkmoon, an evil organization executive.”''
An executive of the evil organization Future Calamity and controller of their secret weapon, the Cutify Ray. Despite being Lightwing’s [[ArchEnemy arch-nemesis]], he is obsessed with all things cute and also has his own code of justice.
----
* AffablyEvil: Calling him "evil" would be [[AntiVillain quite a stretch]], but when he calls for a temporary truce with Lightwing in order to stop "Mr.Ball" from harming the children, he is quite affable and civil, and even calls Lightwing cute. After subduing Ike, he thanks the heroes for their cooperation and apologizes for the trouble the organization’s internal clumsiness has caused, before politely announces their upcoming restructuring.
* AntiVillain: His goal to grant the weak power does sound quite noble in nature and he generally doesn’t mean harm - it’s just that he doesn't mind his creations going on a rampage. Alongside having a complex about being weak, implied to have lost his memory before stumbling down the path of villainy and being very affable towards the heroes, he’s meant to be the sympathetic villain one would not want to hate.
* BadassCape: Has an impressive one.
* BenevolentBoss: He is very pleasant towards Oto and almost never imposes his superiority upon the latter even though he has all the rights and reasons to do so. Furthermore, he snaps back from his VillainousBsod and sides with Lightwing for once after Oto [[TakingTheBullet got hurt]] because of Darkmoon’s creation.
* {{Foil}}: To Alan, fellow Future Destroyer whose origin is related to a member of the heroes side. Darkmoon is a human-origin AntiVillain, BenevolentBoss and WellIntentionedExtremist with insecurity about his power, whose descent to villainy is not even his intention in the first place, and is implied to [[spoiler:host the prototype of the Hero Seed Lightwing has]]. Alan is a malicious, destructive BloodKnight android who would abandon his loyal servant at the drop of hat just because, TheAce of Future Calamity and reasonably proud of his power, as well as being created using Cess as the model - which technically makes him a copy of Cess.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He has a complex about being a weakling, to the point he [[PsychologicalProjection projects it]] onto objects he’s about to bestow power on.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Lost his memory before he joined the Future Calamity, but gradually recalls them in his event.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: He thinks he and Lightwing may have more in common than they previously believed, as they’re both able to exist thanks to another influence. Lightwing isn’t very happy about it.
** Even more so due to the implication that Darkmoon survived the accident that almost took his life because [[spoiler:someone put a Hero Seed inside him]], just like Lightwing.
* VillainousBsod: As he realizes he fails to understand the ball's wishes and almost harms passerby children in process, he breaks down and freezes up on the spot even when the giant ball is heading towards him until Lightwing snaps him out of it.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His entire goal is to bestow power upon the cute and precious, which stem from a desire to preserve them from the pain of the world.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He has no qualms letting the enlarged, given-a-sentience toys wrecking around as long as he thinks they’re enjoying it, but when a giant soccer ball he gave life to charges towards the children nearby, he panics and later is willing to side with Lightwing to stop its rampage.

* TakingTheBullet: He pushed Darkmoon out of the way of a sentient giant soccer ball and got himself injured. Luckily, Professor Toki is quick to provide emergency medical aid.

--> ''”If you find yourself in trouble of the otherworldly variety, you know who to call!”''
A mystic-in-training. He's still a high school student, so during the day he gets to enjoy a wholesome school life with his classmates, but by night he trains to become a full-fledged mystic.
----
* AllLovingHero: He will just open his arms to anyone: a mystic who tried to make Otoharu work for his family against his free will, a spirit who looks down on human, or a ''very'' anti-social sorcerer.
* {{Determinator}}: He spends every single day arriving at Shiraai’s place just to talk with him and convince him to move out of the spirit village.
* DisappearedDad: His father died when he was a child for unknown reason, so he inherited the shrine.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: He dreamed about Shiraai before they even meet face-to-face, and unwittingly saw the truth behind the latter’s situation - [[CagedBirdMetaphor caged]] inside his immortality and duty; though Otoharu doesn’t seem to realize it.
* FamilyBusiness: His family has been mystic and guarding the shrine for ages since Shonoshin’s time.
* FriendlessBackground: He never had much contact with people even when his father was alive because he can see things others can’t, which freaked other kids out.
* MagicalIncantation: "Seiryuu, Byakko, Suzaku, Genbu, Kochin, Teitai, Bun'o, Santai, Gyokunyo...!"
* ProneToTears: Not now, but other characters frequently describe him as a crybaby in his childhood, much to his embarrassment.
* RedIsHeroic: He wears a red kimono.
* NiceGuy: He’s incredibly kind and pleasant, even towards the spirits he’s supposed to exorcise. This allows him to be seen as an equal even by the most powerful of supernatural entities.
* SupremeChef: The inarizushi he makes can even impress Tenko.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: He has quite a busy schedule, going to school at day and managing mystic works at night.

--> ''”I, the great Shonoshin, am Otoharu's strongest partner and the one on whom the future depends. Stand in awe of me!”''
A fox spirit, tamed and sealed away by Otoharu's ancestors, and has assisted his family for generations.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He’s the youngest of all the spirits appearing in the series. As a result, his childhood endeavors become a frequent topic of conversation for the chattier ones of them, much to his embarrassment.
* {{Familiar}}: Of Otoharu, having been bound to his bloodline since the older time.
* {{Kitsune}}: He is a fox spirit with the ears and only a tail because he’s still young (by kitsune’s standard anyway).
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks young and small, but his age dates back to Otoharu’s ancestors.
* ThePrankster: Tenko mentioned that he was a prankster when he was younger.
* SuperMode: His true form is treated this way. He can [[{{Teleportation}} teleport]] around and break Shiraai’s barriers, but it has a time limit.
* TookALevelInBadass: After the training arc, he can access to his [[SuperMode true form]] and be capable of more convenient powers.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Inarizushi.

--> ''”Otoharu and Tenko have taught me much, from how to store my power to basic mystic techniques. They have been invaluable.”''
Otoharu’s schoolmate and also client, who asks the mystic to get rid of his ability to see [[InvisibleToNormals spirits]]. He’s accompanied by Tenko.
----
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Being a demon/human hybrid means Tokiharu's power would eventually run wild, take over his consciousness, and swallow up anything supernatural lurking nearby. This could have led to the birth of a great and uncontrollable demon who can put the world into serious jeopardy - though thanks to everyone’s effort he has learned how to keep his power in check.]]
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: [[spoiler:Tokiharu was born to a mystic father and a demon mother. This unique lineage is the source of his overwhelming power.]]

--> ''”Otoharu and Tokiharu are so hard-working despite all their troubles. Seeing that makes me want to help them out.”''
An ancient fox spirit and a long-time friend of Shonoshin, he tracked down Otoharu’s shrine because he wanted to visit the other fox spirit. After he sees Tokiharu’s situation, he volunteers to accompany him.
----
* BarrierWarrior: He can create powerful barriers that prevent unwanted visits from other supernatural entities.
* BigGood: Being the most powerful [[note]]Hebigami makes a point to refer to him as "the powerful Tenko" in his narration (whereas for Kotobuki and Ran he only calls them by their race), something he has no need to do unless it’s undeniable fact[[/note]] and (probably) oldest spirit ally of Otoharu, as well as a benevolent BunnyEarsLawyer makes him this for our main characters.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He still has Natsuki’s {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendency, though this time paired with presumably hundreds of years in age and a high rank among the fox spirits with power to match.
--> '''Shonoshin:''' ''"Most high-ranking fox spirits tend to be a little weird."''
* FishOutOfWater: Due to being an ancient spirit, Tenko is pretty clueless about the human world, doesn’t know what "school" is about and literally thought Tokiharu changed his name to "cleanup" when the latter mentioned having to do cleanup at school.
* ItWasAGift: His glasses, which a good friend gave him long ago.
* {{Kitsune}}: He’s a fox spirit like Shonoshin, with more fluffy tails as he’s much older and more powerful.
* MagicalIncantation: Which doubles as a BadassBoast.

An aloof and slippery {{tanuki}} who visit the human world once in a while, and has taken an interest in Otoharu’s journey.
----
* TheGadfly: He seems amused when telling Otoharu and Shonoshin their embarrassing childhood secrets in order to prove [[Really700YearsOld his age]].
* InnocentBystander: Claims that he will be this, though in his own special way.
* ItAmusedMe: He follows Otoharu and Shonoshin because he figures something interesting's bound to happen around those two.

A Kijin often seen following Tokiharu from a distance and got accused of being the reason his parents disappeared. Turns out the man is just looking after him because of a promise...

* DarkIsNotEvil: A demon[[note]]Technically an {{Oni}}[[/note]] whose first few appearances make him seem quite shady, but he’s just looking after his friends’ child after their death.

--> ''”Those who would harm my master may not pass. Answer my question, human. Are you friend or foe?”''
A [[BakenekoAndNekomata two-tailed cat yokai]] Otoharu finds in his weakened state.
----
* CatsAreMagic:
* MoralityPet: Hebigami considers him a friend and cares for his safety.
* MythologyGag: Cecil playing the role of a black cat spirit who gets stuck in his cat form is a clear reference to his situation in the original visual novel.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Due to his lack of power, he’s usually in a dazed state and will fall asleep anytime.

An old friend of Nekomata.
----
* FantasticRacism: He looks down on human at best and believes HumansAreBastards at worst.
* FreudianExcuse: It’s kinda hard to blame his antagonistic stance towards our main characters when you know that he and his friend Nekomata were basically enslaved by human.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Hostile towards human but for a good reason, and genuinely cares about Nekomata.
* SnakesAreSinister: He’s a snake youkai and the first main spirit to be antagonistic towards Otoharu (whereas those before him are either ally or neutral), which turns him into a villain in the ''Mystic-in-Training: Hazy Memories'' event.

A full-fledged mystic who pays a visit to see whether Otoharu will be willing cooperate with his powerful mystic family.
----

* BigBrotherMentor: He becomes Otoharu and Tokiharu’s mentor in the art of mystic.

----
* TheAgeless: As a vessel for gods, he acquired immortality and agelessness.
* BarrierWarrior: He surrounded himself and the village of spirits with a powerful barrier of magic that requires both Otoharu to weaken and Shonoshin’s SuperMode to break.
* CagedBirdMetaphor
* MouthOfSauron: He was a yorimashi, those chosen to receive revelations directly from gods.
* SourOutsideSadInside: He is stubborn, jaded and quite rude to others, but that seems to be a result of a life caged in duties and [[WhoWantsToLiveForever burdened by immortality]].
* TookALevelInKindness: It takes Otoharu visiting him and talking to him everyday, but he noticeably mellows out over time and agrees to stay in Otoharu’s shrine after the latter forcibly brought him there out of emergency.
* WasOnceAMan: He was born a human before becoming a yorimashi, losing his mortality as he gained power, and worshiped by the villagers like an incarnation of a god. Now he is something straddling the line between mortals and divine.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The strain of immortality, along with being both feared and detested, caused him to grow jaded and uncaring towards everything. He seems to only quit this mindset a little after bonding with Otoharu, as he claims he wants to be around to see Otoharu’s growth.

--> ''”I’m Ren. But on the streets, they call me Lone Wolf.”''
A cool and quiet delinquent known as the "Lone Wolf", who is raising objections about Shining Academy's domineering student council president.
----
* ActuallyIAmHim: In ''Turbulent Symphony'', when Otoya declares that he will only accept a fight if his opponent is "Lone Wolf", Ren has this to say:
--> '''Ren:''' ''"And if you found that you were speaking with Lone Wolf, would you start a fight in broad daylight, Noble Institute student council member Otoya Ichinomiya?"''
* AntiHero: He does wish for the good of others, but he values his personal ideal too much to actively act on it.
* TheDreaded: He is incredibly feared, with a mere mention of his name is enough to allow plenty of the academy’s students to get away with tons of troubles they’ve created.
* GeniusBruiser: Ren may seem like your typical slacking delinquent, but alongside his muscle powers he’s also among the school’s top 100.
* HeroicNeutral: He is a loner who strives to keep a distance from others and usually refrains from getting involved with people personally.
* JapaneseDelinquents: He slacks off in school, [[NonUniformUniform customizes his uniform]] by rolling his sleeves up and wears t-shirt underneath the gakuran, has chains as accessories, and also carries around a pair of sunglasses.
* LonersAreFreaks: As a delinquent, he has a fearsome reputation in and out of the school, and his solitary tendency doesn’t help that much.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Prefers to live for himself and claims that he’s not one to help others, but is nice to woman (unless they want to exploit him, that is), appreciates Syo like a friend, and genuinely wants Masato to become a true leader.
* RealMenTakeItBlack: Ren is a mature, confident and tough delinquent. Of course he’s gonna have an espresso at the Green Summit cafe.

Ren’s fellow delinquent who looks up to him. Has an OddFriendship with the head of disciplinary committee.
----
* BookDumb: He doesn’t seem to do well academically, as Ai said Syo came to him crying about his poor marks last time.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Tokiya, and they still maintain their good relationship despite the fact that they’re of rivaling schools.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Even when being chased by Seinomiya while trying to deliver the habanero sandwich Ren ordered to the man, he ''has'' to spend some of his stamina to clarify that, no, he is '''not''' "Milky Bunny"!
* HotBlooded: He gets heated up when he sees Ranmaru being bandaged, asking the latter for the info of the attacker so that he can go beat them to a pulp.
* JapaneseDelinquents: As Ren’s follower, he also dresses the part with improperly-worn uniform and plenty of accessories - chains included.
* OddFriendship: Somehow, a delinquent like him is able to strike up a friendship with the head of disciplinary committee. Theirs is a heartwarming one, too, with despite how much he tries to run away from Natsuki every time they meet, Syo actually helps cheer Natsuki up when the latter thinks he’s not doing a good job as Masato’ assistant and invites him to grab some stuffs in the cafeteria.
* OnlyFriend: To Ren, before the latter and Masato finally strike up a friendship.

--> ''”Phew... No matter how many times we do this, it's always difficult to put my thoughts into words properly.”''
President of the student council at Shining Academy, Masato is an authoritative soloist with...not the best reputation among his fellow students.
----
* TheDreaded: He is equally feared by the students as Ren, but more because of his authority in the school.
* HeelRealization: After a series of event, he finally realizes his methods are wrong.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He doesn’t realize that the student body dislikes how he grants the student council so many privileges, thinking that it’s obviously deserving because everyone in the council has been working hard.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Masato is always at odds with everyone because he looks down on them, causing him to come off as an oppressive tyrant instead of the well-meaning leader of people he tries to become, hence his rocky tenure. He also has difficulty putting his thoughts into words properly.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Grows into this at the end of his event. He even allows Ai to leave the Student Council to pursue his passion.
* RedArmbandOfLeadership: Wears one as the StudentCouncilPresident.
* TookALevelInKindness: He starts to care more about the students.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He means well for the Shining Academy and is just doing his duty as the StudentCouncilPresident by trying to create an environment that encourages studying and stop delinquency, but his methods are quite - for the lack of better words - tyranny. This is acknowledged by his actor, and of course, he [[TookALevelInKindness gets better]].
--> '''Masato Hijirikawa — ''The Confused Soloist'':''' ''”The President was heavy-handed, but he was trying to do the right thing. Maybe Ren gave him the chance to grow up a bit.”''
* {{Workaholic}}: He has always been presented as studious and hardworking, but after the event in ''The Bewildered Soloist'' he pushes himself even harder to make the school a better place. In Episode 3 of the ''Student Council President'' card’s side story, he recounts all of the works he’s having - meetings, responding to student-submitted letters, disciplinary problems, dealing with all the applications for setting up stalls at the school festival - before [[OverworkedSleep falling asleep on the spot out of exhaustion]].

--> ''”Seinomiya here, head of disciplinary committee!”''
Head of the disciplinary committee at Shining Academy. Unlike Masato, he’s friendly and a softie.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Seems almost too soft to be in the disciplinary committee, but there’s a reason he’s its head. He carries a training sword with him when checking the students’ attire and attitude in front of the school for crying out loud!
* CutenessProximity: He squeals at the animal latte arts when going on patrol with Masato in a cafe. The real Natsuki claims that his character will overlook someone snuggling sweets - especially cute-looking ones like the Piyo-chan macarons - into the academy because he himself likes cute things too.
* OddFriendship: Friendship between a delinquent and the head of disciplinary committee is unlikely, but it happens in his and Syo’s case. When he chases after Syo in Episode 2 of the latter’s side story, he just wants to share the milk pudding.
* OnlyFriend: Thanks to his NiceGuy tendency, he’s the only one who could tolerate Masato pre-CharacterDevelopment.
* NiceGuy: He’s very friendly towards the students, even those who break the rules. When asked to be stricter by Masato, he just brushes it off saying that’s more Masato’s department than his.

A first-year at the Shining Academy and the secretary of the student council. He’s brilliant but lonely and troubled, as beneath the diligence exists a restrained desire.
----
* BrokenPedestal: He is shocked to find out that Masato - the person he has always been told to become - is associated with delinquents.
** RebuiltPedestal: But after hearing the truth behind it, his respect and admiration towards Masato comes back quickly.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: He can’t drink [[RealMenTakeItBlack black coffee]], an indication of how he’s still a naive child who would cling onto a [[BitchInSheepsClothing seemingly supportive]] adult figure despite the latter being blatantly suspicious.
* EducationMama: His parents force him to study and join the student council against his will.
* HeroicBsod: Upon discovering Masato’s "conspiracy" with delinquents, he panics, thinking that [[AllForNothing all of his efforts to become like Masato may have been in vain]], and almost breaks down on the spot. It takes Masato explaining how those so-called delinquents was the reason why he [[TookALevelInKindness changed for the better]] to calm Ai down.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He has great trust in Mr. Camille, who is commented on by his actor to be blatantly suspicious.
* UnwittingPawn: Camille uses him in an attempt to get a hold on the school’s AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil.
* {{Workaholic}}: He is worn out from managing the works at the student council and striving to become a StudentCouncilPresident like Masato per his parents’ expectations, which makes him very vulnerable to manipulation and easy to act impulsively.

* HeterosexualLifePartner: With Ranmaru. After graduation, they still stay with each other through the Green Summit café, are capable of [[BashBrothers fighting together]] just like the old days, and Ranmaru can read Reiji’s expression even when facing the opposite direction.
* LetsGetDangerous: When the gang member they’re facing declared that [[SmugSnake they could start their takeover of the town by crushing him and Ranmaru]], Reiji drops all of his former reluctance, starts smiling and winks playfully while asking Ranmaru what to do, before claiming he would [[BlatantLies "prefer to solve this peacefully"]]. Ranmaru points out that his expression means the barista wouldn’t want anything less than throwing some hands into the face of those overconfident fools.
* NoodleIncident: What exactly caused him to give up on his power over Shining Academy and the area around it years ago? He didn’t seem to be in the best mental state at the time back then, so it can hardly be sheer boredom. Is it guilt, exhaustion, or depression even?
* OverlyLongName: While many in this series qualify, Kotobukinomikado has ''eight'' freaking syllables.

A model student of the Noble Institute. He cherishes his peaceful day-to-day life while supporting the Student Council President.

* BeleagueredAssistant: He has his hands full from handling Otoya’s boisterousness and hotheadedness, as well as Cecil’s bouts of {{cloudcuckoolander}} moments.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Syo, and they still maintain their good relationship even when they’re of the rivaling schools.
* ClashingCousins: He and Otoya are cousins - hence the same surname. While they’re the same age, their personality [[RedOniBlueOni is the complete opposite of each other’s]], hence they tend to compete and butt heads out of conflicting opinions.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He’s the responsible one between him and Otoya, and as such always has to keep his cousin in check.

* NotSoStoic: Despite his prim and proper demeanor, he still has a mischievous side which is put on display when he expresses satisfaction after Syo steals the strawberry on Otoya’s parfait, citing it as the karma for having stolen Tokiya’s lunch for god knows how many times.

President of the student council at Noble Institute. Believing that Masato doesn’t do a good job as the council president of his respective school, he wishes to bring Shining Academy district under Noble Institute‘s control so that everyone can have a peaceful school life.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: For some reason, he decides to tell the Shining Academy’s student council that he’s going to take over their district when he is supposed to only do a surveillance, much to Tokiya’s exasperation.
** In Tokiya’s "Student Council Member" side story, he insists on visiting a bakery in Shining Academy district after he just practically declared war to their student council the other day.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Otoya and Tokiya keep him from knowing that they’re spreading rumors about Shining Academy to make people defect to Noble Institute, believing that since it remains to be seen if Noble Institute '''must''' take control of the Shining Academy district, Cecil doesn’t need to be burdened with currently unnecessary information. Subverted when it turns out Cecil knows all along.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: All of his actions stem from a desire to provide every student the peace and safety they deserve when they go to school. When he knows gang leaders cause disturbances within Noble Institute‘s school district and terrify students, unlike his predecessor who turned a blind eye to such things, he takes action to purge them.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants to bring the Shining Academy’s district into Noble Institute’s control because he believes it would prevent conflict from happening and everyone will get to enjoy a peaceful school life.

----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He goes around with the persona of a polite, friendly EnthusiasticNewbieTeacher, but is willing to manipulate a child just to further his goal.
* EnthusiasticNewbieTeacher: Seems like this, though his enthusiasm in befriending and "helping" Ai makes him come off as very shady instead.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He finds it "incomprehensible" that despite having infiltrated Shining Academy and deceived everyone, he’s still respected after being exposed.
* ManipulativeBastard: He tries to manipulate Ai into losing hope in Masato and become a [[PuppetKing Puppet]] StudentCouncilPresident under his thumb. When that fails, he switches to making gangs in the area fight each other to eliminate themselves.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: It’s thanks to him suggesting Ai about Masato associating with delinquents in the Green Summit cafe that Ai can finally open up about his problems and leave the student council to pursue his music interest.

* WolfInSheepsClothing: On the surface, he seems to be as bubbly and {{Cloudcuckoolander}} as the real Natsuki, but in reality he’s a smart, observant man who will not hesitate to consider using ColdBloodedTorture on those who threaten Toki’s safety. Episode 2 and 3 of the Serment du Ciel Étoilé outfit story embody this duality the best, with the former is Natsu doing his butler work in the bright daylight, and the latter is him interrogating an infiltrator in the dark hall.

The surviving prince of a severely polluted planet that was ravaged by a great interstellar war. Growing up with only a servant by his side, he hopes that by growing new plants they can somehow rejuvenate the devastated land and reunite with other survivors.
----
* CaringGardener: He is actively studying botany and experimenting with soils and seeds so that he can grow plants and revitalize long-lost flora in the outside world, as it is their only hope of purifying the lethally polluted air.
* AChildShallLeadThem: He’s the only surviving member of the royal family, which means when the planet is healed and the country is to be rebuilt, he will undeniably become its new ruler, though according to dialogues it seems he’s currently just a teenager.
* {{Determinator}}: Even though countless sprouts have wilted, he never gives up on trying to grow plants on the planet.
* HeroicBsod: He comes ''very'' close to hitting a DespairEventHorizon when he realizes if he and Syo are the {{Sole Survivor}}s, there will be no reason to rejuvenate the planet. Luckily Syo snaps him out of it.
* KingIncognito: Hides his identity as the prince to the people in the other shelter, who are Natsuki and Masato, and only introduces himself as a botanist/nobleman.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He wants to revive his dead planet via planting flowers on it.
* RoyaltySuperpower: As the prince, he can stay outside of the shelter up to near 30 minutes more than normal people, presumably due to genetically better body conditions.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: According to Syo Kurusu, the prince seems indifferent at first, but he's actually always thinking about others and giving his all for them - which reminds him of the real Ai Mikaze.

* BeleagueredAssistant: He has to constantly pay attention to Prince Ai so that the latter won't endanger himself staying outside for too long while losing himself in concentration, as well as managing things in the shelter, providing the prince care and education, and [[spoiler:maintaining his charade as Shelter 17]].
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Accidentally reveals the truth about Prince Ai’s time limit to Natsuki and Masato when they expressed concern that Ai had been outside for a while.
* EmergencyImpersonation: He considers claiming to be the prince when they have to meet the other survivors, since the war is not yet over.
* {{Foil}}: To Lieutenant Colonel Natsuki. They're both the mentor figure to their shelter mate and looking after the other's growth, but Syo is Ai's servant while Natsuki is Masato's superior officer. Syo has the strictness rarely seen from a servant towards their master; Natsuki has the gentleness and friendliness that shouldn’t exist in the harsh military environment.
* HeroicRrod: In Episode 8 of the event story, he starts coughing and collapses after staying outside for nearing his time limit, which causes him to be bedridden several days after.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He claims that he has been looking after Prince Ai ever since the latter was still an infant, which would make him around his 30s at ''least'' after the ten odd years since the war as he should have been an adult to directly handle a royalty. Yet, he is shorter than the teenage prince due to being played by Syo Kurusu.

* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: He runs a bar as the front for his mafia family.
* PetTheDog: He doesn’t shy away from murder and torture, but is also a man of honor. Because one of his ancestors was indebted to a member of the Nero Family, he stays by and assists their Casino Brillare even though normally he would have nothing to do with such an "inconsequential" family. In fact, as much as he wants to deny it, he seems to develop some genuine affection for them.
** He also had enough mercy to spare Ray, a vagabond implied to unknowingly violate his boundary, and even gave him a job.

The head of the Nero crime family, he runs the Brillare casino which he inherited after his father died. Marco's quiet, moderate disposition could be seen as a good thing, but it does not serve him well as the boss of a mafia family.

----
* ArmsDealer
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Though none of their age are specified, he’s apparently the youngest of the cast and frequently treated as a problem child by Camillo. His childish behaviors do not help his case.
* BerserkButton: He doesn’t like being looked down because of his young age, and is visibly annoyed when he thinks Makoto does so.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Implied. He doesn’t appear to have much respect for the "nagging elders" back home who seems to be his higher-ups in the Red Tiger Society, to the point of traveling from place to place in hope of escaping their eyes, calling a place without them "paradise", and scolding Dùyè Wáng for mentioning them in a "momentous night".
* DisproportionateRetribution: In Chapter 2 of Tokiya’s "Red Tiger Society" side story, he kills a man merely for being a {{Jerkass}} after bumping into him. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since he is in need of more notoriety so that Camillo would think of him higher, and being unfairly brutal is a quick shortcut.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage:
* {{Guyliner}}: If one looks at him a little closer, they will notice that he wears red eyeliner.
* SweetTooth: He loves his peach steamed buns, and in ''No More Order'' he was late to Michael and Ray’s performance because he wanted to buy roasted chestnuts. He also responded to Shinon’s friendship offer that they would make good friends especially if the latter enjoys sweets.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: His and Otoya’s outfits are blatantly Chinese, he sells weapons to TheMafia, and he belongs to a secret society called ''Red Tiger'' - a name you would expect from a Chinese criminal organization - which is implied to have a hierarchical system if Tokiya’s mentions about "the family" and "our nagging elders" is any indication.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Jìyè Dōng is free-spirited and sometimes still acts like a spoiled child, so Dùyè Wáng has his hands full from trying to keep his partner from acting impulsively.
* BloodBrothers: According to Jìyè Dōng, Dùyè Wáng is like a family to him and and they "made a vow" long ago, suggesting that his relationship with Jìyè Dōng is this.
* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: Played for Laugh. Jìyè Dōng is annoyed that Dùyè Wáng refused to do negotiations for him and pointed out how Camillo was testing his skill - which Jìyè Dōng failed to realize, so he threatens to not give Dùyè Wáng any of the peach steamed buns he brought back.

* BadassInANiceSuit: He dresses in a proper three-piece suit usually seen from high-ranking yakuza.
* BerserkButton: When a robber disarmed by Syori called him and Makoto outcasts, Makoto got so angered he pulled the gun’s trigger and killed the man immediately. He does that again in ''No More to Rule'' the moment he realizes the boss of the bandits referred to him as "outsider". Apparently, he harbors a hatred for being seen as an outcast in general because of his AllOfTheOtherReindeer childhood.
* ChildhoodFriend: With Eren, whom he reacts with utter joy upon their reunion. While their relationship is tolerated at best by both factions they’re from because it is beneficial, they don’t see each other any less genuinely.
* CoatCape

--> ''”I'm an exorcist, not a demon. Sorry, but I like to cut to the chase. If you've got a job, ask the church or gimme food.”''
An exorcist by a church on the outskirts of town. While eking out a living, he harbors ambitions to become a professional musician.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Animal seems to like him while people keeps their distance from him, as opposite to [[AnimalsHateHim Elegy]].

* WorldTour: His dream is to travel the world with his bass guitar.
* YourTraditionIsNotMine: Downplayed. He isn’t exactly opposed to being an exorcist like his family, as he knows it helps people and willingly does it for a living, but he much prefers becoming a musician.

--> ''”I'm not used to hymns yet, but I enjoy Bel Canto's music. At times, he gets carried away and the pitch deviates.”''
A quiet young man in black who has lost his memory. He follows Bel Canto out of attraction to his music.
----
* AnimalsHateHim: He struggles with giving a dog a walk, and animal’s hatred towards him becomes a well-known trait to the townspeople.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He dresses in black, but aside from being a little weird, he’s very polite and docile. Even more so after the reveal that he is [[spoiler:a literal demon.]]
* HumanityIsInfectious: [[spoiler:Before he managed to steal Bel Canto’s soul, he "experienced emotions, music, and learned of dreams". The time he spent with the exorcist also gives him a rebellious streak that allows him to become a HunterOfHisOwnKind.]]
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: [[spoiler:When he betrays his own kind to follow Bel Canto, he traps a fellow demon inside his magical hourglass for Bel Canto to deal with as a repayment for what the exorcist has done for him. Then he goes with Bel Canto on their journey to exorcise demons, making him a literal example.]]
* IdentityAmnesia: He doesn’t remember anything about himself, not even his own name.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:He appears mostly human with no demonic physical traits, has a special device for stealing souls, is [[AnimalsHateHim hated by animals]] and gets uncomfortable around choir and sorts.]] According to the sequel, demons also have the innate ability to befriend people and can be tormented physically.
* RebelliousSpirit: After experiencing [[spoiler:being a human]], he has this to say:
--> '''Elegy:''' ''”Even if I've remembered my purpose now, it's too late. I refuse to live according to others' expectations, to follow the path set out for me. You agree, yes?”''

--> ''”Even if I'm told I should be nicer, angels and demons don't mix. Sweetly plead all you want, but I won't do it! No way!”''
A carefree angel with pure-white wings. Coda knows that he himself is a bit of a heretic, so he is drawn to the equally heretical exorcist Bel Canto.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He asks Bel Canto to make up a song about how sheep feel when they’re being sheared, much to the latter’s exasperation.
* EvilRedhead: Downplayed. He’s not exactly evil, but some of his actions are morally questionable and he serves as the antagonist figure of the ''Chords of Curiosity'' event. He also has Otoya’s red hair.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: He’s a literal angel dressed in white attire adorned with gold details and accessories.
* GuardianAngel: He claims that he is this for Refrain and apparently some other exorcists by guiding them to demons and instructing them how to deal with them.
* ItAmusedMe: He outright says that he wants Refrain to help him escape his boredom a bit longer, and takes a liking to Bel Canto because he’s eccentric exorcist followed by a demon.
* LightIsNotGood: An angel who thinks ColdBloodedTorture is the only deserving way to deal with demons, even when they have never committed any misdeed. Not all angels are like him though, since he’s actually something of a rebel in heaven.
* {{Manchild}}: He behaves like a spoiled child who will do and take what he wants without regard for others. Even Bel Canto points it out.
--> '''Bel Canto:''' ''"You might be an angel, but you’re also a brat."''
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants to purge evil, which is good and all, but then his method which involves torture and recruiting followers like a cult is a little...off.
* WingedHumanoid: Has magnificent white wings, befitting that of an angel.

An exorcist who just arrives in the town and wants to take over Bel Canto’s business.
----
* {{BFS}}: His sword seems to be as long as his torso.
* FreudianExcuse: His desire to seek fame and wealth stemmed from being born in poverty, and he has abandoned his own past.
* GlorySeeker
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At first glance, he’s an opportunistic, greedy fame chaser who looks down on our main characters.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He works as an exorcist merely to earn money.
* PetTheDog: He is a jerk in a first few episodes, but he genuinely treats Irise like a companion and determines to help the latter recover his memory.
* StepfordSmiler: Presents himself as a polite, friendly guy to gain people’s trust, which includes constantly smiling and speaking in a higher pitch. He seems more solemn and only uses his actual deep voice when alone with Irise.

--> ''” What memories have I lost? I don't have angel wings or a demon tail. When my memories return, will I still be myself?”''
Credo’s companion, who suffers from memory loss and is unable to recall who he really is.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Irise’s race still remains a mystery. While he tries to find some connection with demons based on the "device" he possesses, Coda’s words implied that he has relation with Heaven as well.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: He is simple and kindhearted like an unknowing child, though it contributes to his fear that his true self is far from this.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Similar to Elegy, he also dresses in all black, but he’s pleasant and nice through and through.
* HearingVoices: He mentions that he has the feeling someone is talking to him whenever he’s around demons. The voice shows itself in Episode 2 of Natsuki’s "Chords of Solitude" side story using Irise’s (or rather, Natsuki’s) voice, after he and Credo finished an exorcism.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He has no memory of his past.

!Assassin Duo
[[folder:Tropes applied for both]]
* FireForgedFriends: Liberta approached Lacrima out of nowhere and just sticks to him ever since. Lacrima doesn’t appreciate the companionship but tolerated because the other doesn’t rely on him for anything, and when asked what he would do if Liberta were an enemy, Lacrima casually drops that he would have no hesitation to pull the knife on him. That said, Lacrima seems genuinely surprised when he sees Liberta working for his target before he realizes it is a ruse, and thinks a little more highly of the other guy at the end.
* {{Foil}}: Lacrima is serious, morally upright and doesn’t pay attention to anything other than his job - even willing to sleep on the street if that’s more convenient. Liberta meanwhile is sociable and talkative with GreyAndGrayMorality, he is also particular about what to eat, where to sleep and "won’t accept anything less than adequate lodgings".
* GratuitousItalian: Their name are both Italian, with Lacrima means "tear" and Liberta means "freedom". Amusingly enough, those are the ''[[GenderBlenderName feminine]]'' form of the words.
* ProfessionalKiller: They both are experienced assassins and have little to no problem cutting someone’s throat as long as they’re paid.

A reserved professional assassin who carries out requests while following his beliefs.

* FamedInStory: According to his client, his reputation has made it overseas, enough to make them agree to pay him extra without a single dispute.
* HitmanWithAHeart: Despite being a renowned assassin, he has a strict moral code and only accepts to kill his target if he believes they’re evil, twisted and generally deserve to die.

Lacrima’s carefree colleague who happily follows him around, though there seems to be something off about him.
----
* DoubleAgent: In short, he gets a job to defend Lacrima’s target and fights against Lacrima, but then reveals that he’s been on Lacrima’s side all along and betrays his own client.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears a black eyepatch and is a capable assassin.
* TheGadfly: Almost all of his interactions with Lacrima are to get a reaction from the latter, without caring about how Lacrima thinks of him.

--> ''”The trick to darts? Buy me a drink and I’ll talk. Nothing wagered, nothing gained. I show kindness to those who earn it.”''
A regular at a darts bar called Oasis. He always helps its bartender Kaito out of troubles, and is like a brother to Kaito when they're together. But could there be a hidden side to him?
----
* TheAce: He is the best dart player Oasis ever has in their bar, and gives CurbStompBattle to anyone stupid enough to challenge him or make him ask them to use darts as a way to resolve whatever conflict they’re having between him and them.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Takes it upon himself to chase rowdy guests away with his dart skill in Kaito’s place, and personally makes sure that the woman who exploited Kaito’s innocence for her unsavory goal will not dare to come near Oasis ever again.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe:
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He is sociable and very kind towards Kaito, but he doesn’t shy away from threatening woman.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He shelters Kaito from the harsh truth of the world and keeps him safe from shady people in all ways possible.
* BigBrotherMentor: He teaches Kaito how to be better at darts whenever they’re alone.
* GratuitousEnglish: Sprinkles some English in his phrases whenever he feels like it to double the classiness.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Despite the confidence he displays whenever he plays darts, he’s actually quite conscious about himself, admitting that people like him are the reason [[MoralityPet Kaito]] often gets into trouble.
* ProfessionalGambler: His whole fortune was built on gambling, and he’s rich enough that a parliament member’s son frequently arrives at his place to borrow money, showing that aside from luck he also must have some skills.

A young man working at the darts bar Oasis who always ends up getting himself into trouble due to his kindness and is saved by his regular, Zero.
----
* TheBartender: He is a bartender at Oasis.
* BigBrotherWorship: Not a blood-related big brother, but Kaito looks up to Zero like a beacon of perfection - someone he strives to become.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He is completely unaware of the scheme behind an expensive vase he was gifted by a female customer (which was wiretapped so that she could extort people who came to the bar) and the fact that Zero has threatened her into stopping the act. Of course, Zero does make an effort into hiding the whole ordeal from him since he saw how Kaito was happy to have the female customer around.
* MoralityPet: Zero - while not the most law-abiding citizen ever - genuinely cares for Kaito like a younger brother, and does everything in his power to keep his innocence untainted.
* NiceGuy: Literally described in the summary as such. As Zero laments, he’s basically too nice to be in a world of chaos and deception such as the bar industry.
