[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir. Chika is Vert's closest online gaming partner, Mina is a close friend of Financier wanting to help Blanc and care for Rom & Ram and the reformed Arfoire becomes Planeptune's oracle following the events of Re;1.
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Virtus gives one to Noire after she confesses that she doesn't want him to leave as she grew too fond of him but she knows he can't leave Blanc behind.]]
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2'''
The second installment of the trilogy and an adaptation of HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2. Gamindustri is attacked by a group calling itself MSIC or Momus Syndicate of International Crime. After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2 contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationDistillation: Because this follows Re;1's canon, Arfoire's role in the source material is replaced by Momus and the Four Felons are fragments of Momus' essence created with its remaining power before it was destroyed in Re;1.
* BeachEpisode: The anime's R-18 Island episode gets adapted here as one of these, albeit replaced by the heroes spending a well-earned holiday in one of Lastation's resorts. Doubles as a HotSpringsEpisode
* BerserkButton: CFW Trick finds out the hard way what happens if you lay a finger on Rom & Ram within Virtus' presence.
* CharacterDevelopment: All CPU candidates go through theirs, just like in the source material.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Nepgear overcoming her lack of confidence and rising to unite the 4 nations against The Four Felons.
** Nepgear's speech before the party goes to the CPU Graveyard to rescue the CPUs.
** Nepgear's final battle against the Deity of Sin.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:
--> Noire: ''Wh-why are you surprised?'
--> Ram: ''Don't couples take baths like this together?'''
--> Rom: ''We read it in one of Blanc's books...''
--> Blanc: ''(SpitTake}''
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' YouAreBetterThanYouThinkAre speech to Nepgear.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler: Red Heart vs White Sisters.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Virtus' HeroicBSOD over failing to prevent the CPUs from losing to CFW Magic and their subsequent capture.]]
** [[spoiler: Virtus being forced to fight Rom & Ram after CFW Trick brainwashes them.]]
** [[spoiler: Kine trying her hardest not to break down and stay strong to give the Leanbox citizens hope in Vert's absence.]]
** [[spoiler: Uni's breakdown over not being strong enough to fight alongside Noire and later losing to CFW Brave.]]
** [[spoiler: Ram & Rom crying in Virtus' arms over how much they miss Blanc.]]
** [[spoiler: Nepgear's absolute lack of confidence at the start of the plot as she struggles to move on from not being able to save Neptune the first time.]]
* TeamDad: Virtus to the CPU Candidates.
* TraumaCongaLine: Virtus. [[spoiler: Blanc and Noire are captured and he blames himself for not going with them, he has to fight the brainwashed Rom & Ram and watch his sister and lover nearly die along with his friends.]] The true consequences of this are seen in White Victory.
* XanatosGambit: CFW Magic pulls one against the heroes. [[spoiler: If the CPU Containment Field is able to eliminate the CPUs, the leaked share can be used to revive Momus. If CFW Magic is defeated, she can offer herself as a sacrifice along with the other Felons to revive Momus.]]
!!'''White Victory'''
The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Kine standing up to ''Iris Heart'' after the latter comes on to Vert and Blanc.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Virtus and Tornado's reaction to the Ultradimension not having a Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''NO! I need my favourite playground!"''
** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** [[spoiler: Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 5 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves. Which is volumes more than I can say about you. Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!? You tried to destroy not one, but two worlds out of pettiness. No matter how painful your failure is, you failed to learn from it. That's why you're a failure as a CPU, and why I'm putting you down for good!'']]
** [[spoiler: Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especifically, Virtus' speech to Blanc about how, out of all the others, she has the greatest potential to become a hero of the Ultradimension like Neptune is in her home dimension, stating how Blanc is always willing to correct her mistakes, was the first to declare she has no intention of seeing Leanbox and Lastation as enemies and is the most levelheaded out of all of the Ultradimension CPUs.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

[[folder: Fortuna Academy]]
!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat
* BadassLonghair
* BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood
* ShipperOnDeck: She did [[=RyuugaxSora=]] before it was cool. She went the extra mile and helped them reunite by allowing Sora to run away from home.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Angelica and Sora.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.

A chivalrous, charming and witty adventurer Noire meets while he's attending a robot fighting world tournament hosted by Lastation.

* {{HSQ}}: His EXE Drive as NEXT Red, V.R - Delete. NEXT Red's augmented virtual reality powers allow him to create a red sphere that he launches at the opponent, trapping it in a cybernetic space which he can fully control with the VR Gear.

->''"[[GratuitousSpanish Yo soy El Tornado! La Tempestad de la Justicia!]]"''
When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.

[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir. Chika is Vert's closest online gaming partner, Mina is a close friend of Financier wanting to help Blanc and care for Rom & Ram and the reformed Arfoire becomes Planeptune's oracle following the events of Re;1.
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Virtus gives one to Noire after she confesses that she doesn't want him to leave as she grew too fond of him but she knows he can't leave Blanc behind.]]
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2'''
The second installment of the trilogy and an adaptation of HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2. Gamindustri is attacked by a group calling itself MSIC or Momus Syndicate of International Crime. After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2 contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationDistillation: Because this follows Re;1's canon, Arfoire's role in the source material is replaced by Momus and the Four Felons are fragments of Momus' essence created with its remaining power before it was destroyed in Re;1.
* BeachEpisode: The anime's R-18 Island episode gets adapted here as one of these, albeit replaced by the heroes spending a well-earned holiday in one of Lastation's resorts. Doubles as a HotSpringsEpisode
* BerserkButton: CFW Trick finds out the hard way what happens if you lay a finger on Rom & Ram within Virtus' presence.
* CharacterDevelopment: All CPU candidates go through theirs, just like in the source material.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Nepgear overcoming her lack of confidence and rising to unite the 4 nations against The Four Felons.
** Nepgear's speech before the party goes to the CPU Graveyard to rescue the CPUs.
** Nepgear's final battle against the Deity of Sin.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:
--> Noire: ''Wh-why are you surprised?'
--> Ram: ''Don't couples take baths like this together?'''
--> Rom: ''We read it in one of Blanc's books...''
--> Blanc: ''(SpitTake}''
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' YouAreBetterThanYouThinkAre speech to Nepgear.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler: Red Heart vs White Sisters.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Virtus' HeroicBSOD over failing to prevent the CPUs from losing to CFW Magic and their subsequent capture.]]
** [[spoiler: Virtus being forced to fight Rom & Ram after CFW Trick brainwashes them.]]
** [[spoiler: Kine trying her hardest not to break down and stay strong to give the Leanbox citizens hope in Vert's absence.]]
** [[spoiler: Uni's breakdown over not being strong enough to fight alongside Noire and later losing to CFW Brave.]]
** [[spoiler: Ram & Rom crying in Virtus' arms over how much they miss Blanc.]]
** [[spoiler: Nepgear's absolute lack of confidence at the start of the plot as she struggles to move on from not being able to save Neptune the first time.]]
* TeamDad: Virtus to the CPU Candidates.
* TraumaCongaLine: Virtus. [[spoiler: Blanc and Noire are captured and he blames himself for not going with them, he has to fight the brainwashed Rom & Ram and watch his sister and lover nearly die along with his friends.]] The true consequences of this are seen in White Victory.
* XanatosGambit: CFW Magic pulls one against the heroes. [[spoiler: If the CPU Containment Field is able to eliminate the CPUs, the leaked share can be used to revive Momus. If CFW Magic is defeated, she can offer herself as a sacrifice along with the other Felons to revive Momus.]]
!!'''White Victory'''
The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Kine standing up to ''Iris Heart'' after the latter comes on to Vert and Blanc.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Virtus and Tornado's reaction to the Ultradimension not having a Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''NO! I need my favourite playground!"''
** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** [[spoiler: Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 5 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves. Which is volumes more than I can say about you. Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!? You tried to destroy not one, but two worlds out of pettiness. No matter how painful your failure is, you failed to learn from it. That's why you're a failure as a CPU, and why I'm putting you down for good!'']]
** [[spoiler: Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especifically, Virtus' speech to Blanc about how, out of all the others, she has the greatest potential to become a hero of the Ultradimension like Neptune is in her home dimension, stating how Blanc is always willing to correct her mistakes, was the first to declare she has no intention of seeing Leanbox and Lastation as enemies and is the most levelheaded out of all of the Ultradimension CPUs.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

[[folder: Fortuna Academy]]
!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat
* BadassLonghair
* BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster

* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...

->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.

You brainwashed and manipulated her against us, her true family. All for the sake of your plans. All for your depraved hedonism! No more.

When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.

[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir. Chika is Vert's closest online gaming partner, Mina is a close friend of Financier wanting to help Blanc and care for Rom & Ram and the reformed Arfoire becomes Planeptune's oracle following the events of Re;1.
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Virtus gives one to Noire after she confesses that she doesn't want him to leave as she grew too fond of him but she knows he can't leave Blanc behind.]]
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2'''
The second installment of the trilogy and an adaptation of HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2. Gamindustri is attacked by a group calling itself MSIC or Momus Syndicate of International Crime. After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2 contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationDistillation: Because this follows Re;1's canon, Arfoire's role in the source material is replaced by Momus and the Four Felons are fragments of Momus' essence created with its remaining power before it was destroyed in Re;1.
* BeachEpisode: The anime's R-18 Island episode gets adapted here as one of these, albeit replaced by the heroes spending a well-earned holiday in one of Lastation's resorts. Doubles as a HotSpringsEpisode
* BerserkButton: CFW Trick finds out the hard way what happens if you lay a finger on Rom & Ram within Virtus' presence.
* CharacterDevelopment: All CPU candidates go through theirs, just like in the source material.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Nepgear overcoming her lack of confidence and rising to unite the 4 nations against The Four Felons.
** Nepgear's speech before the party goes to the CPU Graveyard to rescue the CPUs.
** Nepgear's final battle against the Deity of Sin.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:
--> Noire: ''Wh-why are you surprised?'
--> Ram: ''Don't couples take baths like this together?'''
--> Rom: ''We read it in one of Blanc's books...''
--> Blanc: ''(SpitTake}''
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' YouAreBetterThanYouThinkAre speech to Nepgear.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler: Red Heart vs White Sisters.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Virtus' HeroicBSOD over failing to prevent the CPUs from losing to CFW Magic and their subsequent capture.]]
** [[spoiler: Virtus being forced to fight Rom & Ram after CFW Trick brainwashes them.]]
** [[spoiler: Kine trying her hardest not to break down and stay strong to give the Leanbox citizens hope in Vert's absence.]]
** [[spoiler: Uni's breakdown over not being strong enough to fight alongside Noire and later losing to CFW Brave.]]
** [[spoiler: Ram & Rom crying in Virtus' arms over how much they miss Blanc.]]
** [[spoiler: Nepgear's absolute lack of confidence at the start of the plot as she struggles to move on from not being able to save Neptune the first time.]]
* TeamDad: Virtus to the CPU Candidates.
* TraumaCongaLine: Virtus. [[spoiler: Blanc and Noire are captured and he blames himself for not going with them, he has to fight the brainwashed Rom & Ram and watch his sister and lover nearly die along with his friends.]] The true consequences of this are seen in White Victory.
* XanatosGambit: CFW Magic pulls one against the heroes. [[spoiler: If the CPU Containment Field is able to eliminate the CPUs, the leaked share can be used to revive Momus. If CFW Magic is defeated, she can offer herself as a sacrifice along with the other Felons to revive Momus.]]
!!'''White Victory'''
The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Kine standing up to ''Iris Heart'' after the latter comes on to Vert and Blanc.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Virtus and Tornado's reaction to the Ultradimension not having a Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''NO! I need my favourite playground!"''
** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** [[spoiler: Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 5 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves. Which is volumes more than I can say about you. Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!? You tried to destroy not one, but two worlds out of pettiness. No matter how painful your failure is, you failed to learn from it. That's why you're a failure as a CPU, and why I'm putting you down for good!'']]
** [[spoiler: Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especifically, Virtus' speech to Blanc about how, out of all the others, she has the greatest potential to become a hero of the Ultradimension like Neptune is in her home dimension, stating how Blanc is always willing to correct her mistakes, was the first to declare she has no intention of seeing Leanbox and Lastation as enemies and is the most levelheaded out of all of the Ultradimension CPUs.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat

* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood
* ShipperOnDeck: She did [[=RyuugaxSora=]] before it was cool. She went the extra mile and helped them reunite by allowing Sora to run away from home.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Angelica and Sora.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.

** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.

->''"When Gamindustri needs a miracle, to the goddesses they pray. But when they are in distress, pray tell, who comes for them? Within the shadows, one lurks. The one who dirties his hands. The one who operates from the sidelines. The quiet background support that ensures Gamindustri's peace is maintained. Fear not, for when the goddesses of our land need help, Red Heart emerges from beyond the curtains."''

Seeing no other way out and faced with his sister's request for him to run away, Virtus flees Lowee while Blanc informs the Lowee citizens that he was banished for his crimes against Lowee and following her brother's plan, brings Lowee back to prosperity at the cost of her brother]].

Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators.

[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir. Chika is Vert's closest online gaming partner, Mina is a close friend of Financier wanting to help Blanc and care for Rom & Ram and the reformed Arfoire becomes Planeptune's oracle following the events of Re;1.
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Virtus gives one to Noire after she confesses that she doesn't want him to leave as she grew too fond of him but she knows he can't leave Blanc behind.]]
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2'''
The second installment of the trilogy and an adaptation of HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2. Gamindustri is attacked by a group calling itself MSIC or Momus Syndicate of International Crime. After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2 contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationDistillation: Because this follows Re;1's canon, Arfoire's role in the source material is replaced by Momus and the Four Felons are fragments of Momus' essence created with its remaining power before it was destroyed in Re;1.
* BeachEpisode: The anime's R-18 Island episode gets adapted here as one of these, albeit replaced by the heroes spending a well-earned holiday in one of Lastation's resorts. Doubles as a HotSpringsEpisode
* BerserkButton: CFW Trick finds out the hard way what happens if you lay a finger on Rom & Ram within Virtus' presence.
* CharacterDevelopment: All CPU candidates go through theirs, just like in the source material.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Nepgear overcoming her lack of confidence and rising to unite the 4 nations against The Four Felons.
** Nepgear's speech before the party goes to the CPU Graveyard to rescue the CPUs.
** Nepgear's final battle against the Deity of Sin.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:
--> Noire: ''Wh-why are you surprised?'
--> Ram: ''Don't couples take baths like this together?'''
--> Rom: ''We read it in one of Blanc's books...''
--> Blanc: ''(SpitTake}''
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' YouAreBetterThanYouThinkAre speech to Nepgear.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler: Red Heart vs White Sisters.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Virtus' HeroicBSOD over failing to prevent the CPUs from losing to CFW Magic and their subsequent capture.]]
** [[spoiler: Virtus being forced to fight Rom & Ram after CFW Trick brainwashes them.]]
** [[spoiler: Kine trying her hardest not to break down and stay strong to give the Leanbox citizens hope in Vert's absence.]]
** [[spoiler: Uni's breakdown over not being strong enough to fight alongside Noire and later losing to CFW Brave.]]
** [[spoiler: Ram & Rom crying in Virtus' arms over how much they miss Blanc.]]
** [[spoiler: Nepgear's absolute lack of confidence at the start of the plot as she struggles to move on from not being able to save Neptune the first time.]]
* TeamDad: Virtus to the CPU Candidates.
* TraumaCongaLine: Virtus. [[spoiler: Blanc and Noire are captured and he blames himself for not going with them, he has to fight the brainwashed Rom & Ram and watch his sister and lover nearly die along with his friends.]] The true consequences of this are seen in White Victory.
* XanatosGambit: CFW Magic pulls one against the heroes. [[spoiler: If the CPU Containment Field is able to eliminate the CPUs, the leaked share can be used to revive Momus. If CFW Magic is defeated, she can offer herself as a sacrifice along with the other Felons to revive Momus.]]
!!'''White Victory'''
The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Kine standing up to ''Iris Heart'' after the latter comes on to Vert and Blanc.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Virtus and Tornado's reaction to the Ultradimension not having a Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''NO! I need my favourite playground!"''
** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** [[spoiler: Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 5 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves. Which is volumes more than I can say about you. Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!? You tried to destroy not one, but two worlds out of pettiness. No matter how painful your failure is, you failed to learn from it. That's why you're a failure as a CPU, and why I'm putting you down for good!'']]
** [[spoiler: Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especifically, Virtus' speech to Blanc about how, out of all the others, she has the greatest potential to become a hero of the Ultradimension like Neptune is in her home dimension, stating how Blanc is always willing to correct her mistakes, was the first to declare she has no intention of seeing Leanbox and Lastation as enemies and is the most levelheaded out of all of the Ultradimension CPUs.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood
* ShipperOnDeck: She did [[=RyuugaxSora=]] before it was cool. She went the extra mile and helped them reunite by allowing Sora to run away from home.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Angelica and Sora.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

The one who operates from the sidelines. The quiet background support that ensures Gamindustri's peace is maintained. Fear not, for when the goddesses of our land need help, Red Heart emerges from beyond the curtains."''
A chivalrous, charming and witty adventurer Noire meets while he's attending a robot fighting world tournament hosted by Lastation. Currently residing in the Superdimension Lastation's basilicom, working for Noire. [[spoiler: He is actually the former CPU of Lowee in the Ultradimension and the older brother of Ultradimension Blanc. After his [[VirtualBoy attempt at creating a virtual reality console failed and was reported to send children into seizures and ultimately flop due to malfunctions]], Lowee's shares start plummeting along with his approval rating. Seeing no other way out and faced with his sister's request for him to run away, Virtus flees Lowee while Blanc informs the Lowee citizens that he was banished for his crimes against Lowee and following her brother's plan, brings Lowee back to prosperity at the cost of her brother]].

* {{Foil}}: To Underling as the background support for their respective organizations with an animal partner.
* HappinessInSlavery: Is more than happy to work as Noire's personal BattleButler.
* HopeSpot: Not his own, but he triggers one. [[spoiler: When he defeats Anonydeath and prepares to kill him, he sees a vision of Rom, Ram, his parents and Victory!Blanc that make him hesitate and consider sparing Anonydeath. It all goes south when an image of Noire joins then and Virtus is reminded of all the suffering his companions had to go through as a result of Anonydeath's actions, which ultimately pushes him to kill Anonydeath for good.]]
* {{HSQ}}: His EXE Drive as NEXT Red, V.R - Delete. NEXT Red's augmented virtual reality powers allow him to create a red sphere that he launches at the opponent, trapping it in a cybernetic space which he can fully control with the VR Gear. He then proceeds to use his V.R Blade to unleash several slashes that ''delete the target from the cyberspace'', finishing the job by sheating his blade into his shield, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill after which the sphere explodes.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: See TheAtoner.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: Just like his sister]].

You robbed her of her teenage years, her adult life, all that it could have been. You lied to Peashy. You deceived her, claiming to be her father. You brainwashed and manipulated her against us, her true family. All for the sake of your plans. All for your depraved hedonism! No more. The sins you have committed against this land and against my family are too heavy for you to ever redeem yourself. You will not walk away from this alive!''

->''"[[GratuitousSpanish Yo soy El Tornado! La Tempestad de la Justicia!]]"''
When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.

-> ''I know this is really sudden but...Know that I'll do my absolute best to be a good little sister to you, big sister Vert!"
The CPU Candidate of Leanbox, born from a boost in Leanbox' shares resulting from Vert and IF making their relationship official and public. Kine is a PluckyGirl very devoted to her big sister and very prone to singing praise regarding her friends. As Green Sister, her energetic personality gives place to a sophisticated and mildly cocky personality. Unlike the other CPUs and CPU candidates, who are based on portable consoles, Kine is the personification of the Kinect.
* BadassAdorable: Like every other CPU candidate.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT insult or harm Vert or Leanbox.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's absurdly nice, but that flail is there for a reason...
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]
* CuteBruiser
* EpicFlail: As Green Sister.
* {{Foil}}: To Nepgear as CPU canditates immensely devoted to their big sisters, although they differ in which Nepgear is mild-mannered and Kine is more energetic and Kine is also the one that gets spoiled by Vert rather than the other way around with Nepgear and Neptune.
* GlacierWaif
* IncestSubtext: Averted. Despite how much she loves and worships her big sister, Kine actually expresses disgust at the idea of having romantic feelings for Vert and is supporting of her relationship with IF.

[[folder: Fortuna Academy]]
!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat
* BadassLonghair
* BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster

!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''

* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood
* ShipperOnDeck: She did [[=RyuugaxSora=]] before it was cool. She went the extra mile and helped them reunite by allowing Sora to run away from home.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...

The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!!'''Virtus'''
->''"When Gamindustri needs a miracle, to the goddesses they pray. But when they are in distress, pray tell, who comes for them? Within the shadows, one lurks. The one who dirties his hands. The one who operates from the sidelines. The quiet background support that ensures Gamindustri's peace is maintained. Fear not, for when the goddesses of our land need help, Red Heart emerges from beyond the curtains."''
A chivalrous, charming and witty adventurer Noire meets while he's attending a robot fighting world tournament hosted by Lastation. Currently residing in the Superdimension Lastation's basilicom, working for Noire. [[spoiler: He is actually the former CPU of Lowee in the Ultradimension and the older brother of Ultradimension Blanc. After his [[VirtualBoy attempt at creating a virtual reality console failed and was reported to send children into seizures and ultimately flop due to malfunctions]], Lowee's shares start plummeting along with his approval rating. Seeing no other way out and faced with his sister's request for him to run away, Virtus flees Lowee while Blanc informs the Lowee citizens that he was banished for his crimes against Lowee and following her brother's plan, brings Lowee back to prosperity at the cost of her brother]].

* BigBrotherInstinct
* {{Bishonen}}
* BoisterousBruiser: When he REALLY gets going into a fight. And particularly if he wants to show off.
* ClusterFBomb: Runs in the family.
* CrazyPrepared: He was confident his virtual reality console would work. But had a backup plan in case things went wrong. [[spoiler: He also made sure Blanc had no involvement in the project in case it went wrong, so he'd be the only one of the two villified.]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Foil}}: To Underling as the background support for their respective organizations with an animal partner.
* HappinessInSlavery: Is more than happy to work as Noire's personal BattleButler.
* HopeSpot: Not his own, but he triggers one. [[spoiler: When he defeats Anonydeath and prepares to kill him, he sees a vision of Rom, Ram, his parents and Victory!Blanc that make him hesitate and consider sparing Anonydeath. It all goes south when an image of Noire joins then and Virtus is reminded of all the suffering his companions had to go through as a result of Anonydeath's actions, which ultimately pushes him to kill Anonydeath for good.]]
* {{HSQ}}: His EXE Drive as NEXT Red, V.R - Delete. NEXT Red's augmented virtual reality powers allow him to create a red sphere that he launches at the opponent, trapping it in a cybernetic space which he can fully control with the VR Gear. He then proceeds to use his V.R Blade to unleash several slashes that ''delete the target from the cyberspace'', finishing the job by sheating his blade into his shield, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill after which the sphere explodes.]]
* [[spoiler: IChooseToStay: Decides to stay in the Superdimension with Noire, but not until he finally sorted out things with Victory!Blanc. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy In the end, the latter also encourages him to stay there and enjoy his happiness]].]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He weaponizes Virtual Reality in his CPU form.

* MoralityChain: His friends and family, but especially Noire.
* MrFanservice: Particularly as Red Heart.
* MyGreatestFailure: See TheAtoner.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: Just like his sister]].
* ShootTheDog: In White Victory.
--> ''Red Heart (To Anonydeath): ...You and your allies stole an innocent child's life. You all robbed her of her opportunity to grow up alongside her friends. You robbed her of her teenage years, her adult life, all that it could have been. You lied to Peashy. You deceived her, claiming to be her father. You brainwashed and manipulated her against us, her true family. All for the sake of your plans. All for your depraved hedonism! No more. The sins you have committed against this land and against my family are too heavy for you to ever redeem yourself. You will not walk away from this alive!''
* [[spoiler: SiblingYinYang: Blanc is TheStoic, introverted, easily angered StoneWall. Virtus is a calm, outgoing and lively FragileSpeedster BoisterousBruiser.]]

!!'''El Tornado'''
->''"[[GratuitousSpanish Yo soy El Tornado! La Tempestad de la Justicia!]]"''
When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.

!!'''Kine'''
-> ''I know this is really sudden but...Know that I'll do my absolute best to be a good little sister to you, big sister Vert!"
The CPU Candidate of Leanbox, born from a boost in Leanbox' shares resulting from Vert and IF making their relationship official and public. Kine is a PluckyGirl very devoted to her big sister and very prone to singing praise regarding her friends. As Green Sister, her energetic personality gives place to a sophisticated and mildly cocky personality. Unlike the other CPUs and CPU candidates, who are based on portable consoles, Kine is the personification of the Kinect.
* BadassAdorable: Like every other CPU candidate.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT insult or harm Vert or Leanbox.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's absurdly nice, but that flail is there for a reason...
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]
* CuteBruiser
* EpicFlail: As Green Sister.
* {{Foil}}: To Nepgear as CPU canditates immensely devoted to their big sisters, although they differ in which Nepgear is mild-mannered and Kine is more energetic and Kine is also the one that gets spoiled by Vert rather than the other way around with Nepgear and Neptune.
* GlacierWaif
* IncestSubtext: Averted. Despite how much she loves and worships her big sister, Kine actually expresses disgust at the idea of having romantic feelings for Vert and is supporting of her relationship with IF.

[[folder: Fortuna Academy]]
!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat
* BadassLonghair
* BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster

* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''

* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood
* ShipperOnDeck: She did [[=RyuugaxSora=]] before it was cool. She went the extra mile and helped them reunite by allowing Sora to run away from home.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat
* BadassLonghair
* BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!!'''Virtus'''
->''"When Gamindustri needs a miracle, to the goddesses they pray. But when they are in distress, pray tell, who comes for them? Within the shadows, one lurks. The one who dirties his hands. The one who operates from the sidelines. The quiet background support that ensures Gamindustri's peace is maintained. Fear not, for when the goddesses of our land need help, Red Heart emerges from beyond the curtains."''
A chivalrous, charming and witty adventurer Noire meets while he's attending a robot fighting world tournament hosted by Lastation. Currently residing in the Superdimension Lastation's basilicom, working for Noire. [[spoiler: He is actually the former CPU of Lowee in the Ultradimension and the older brother of Ultradimension Blanc. After his [[VirtualBoy attempt at creating a virtual reality console failed and was reported to send children into seizures and ultimately flop due to malfunctions]], Lowee's shares start plummeting along with his approval rating. Seeing no other way out and faced with his sister's request for him to run away, Virtus flees Lowee while Blanc informs the Lowee citizens that he was banished for his crimes against Lowee and following her brother's plan, brings Lowee back to prosperity at the cost of her brother]]. His CPU Form is called Red Heart and he represents the Virtual Boy.
* {{Adorkable}}
* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler: Anonydeath]].
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: His guilt for the failed Virtual Reality console haunts him and he wants but a chance to make a successful one. He also feels guilty about leaving behind a mess for Blanc to clean]].

* BigBrotherInstinct
* {{Bishonen}}
* BoisterousBruiser: When he REALLY gets going into a fight. And particularly if he wants to show off.
* ClusterFBomb: Runs in the family.
* CrazyPrepared: He was confident his virtual reality console would work. But had a backup plan in case things went wrong. [[spoiler: He also made sure Blanc had no involvement in the project in case it went wrong, so he'd be the only one of the two villified.]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Foil}}: To Underling as the background support for their respective organizations with an animal partner.
* HappinessInSlavery: Is more than happy to work as Noire's personal BattleButler.
* HopeSpot: Not his own, but he triggers one. [[spoiler: When he defeats Anonydeath and prepares to kill him, he sees a vision of Rom, Ram, his parents and Victory!Blanc that make him hesitate and consider sparing Anonydeath. It all goes south when an image of Noire joins then and Virtus is reminded of all the suffering his companions had to go through as a result of Anonydeath's actions, which ultimately pushes him to kill Anonydeath for good.]]
* {{HSQ}}: His EXE Drive as NEXT Red, V.R - Delete. NEXT Red's augmented virtual reality powers allow him to create a red sphere that he launches at the opponent, trapping it in a cybernetic space which he can fully control with the VR Gear. He then proceeds to use his V.R Blade to unleash several slashes that ''delete the target from the cyberspace'', finishing the job by sheating his blade into his shield, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill after which the sphere explodes.]]
* [[spoiler: IChooseToStay: Decides to stay in the Superdimension with Noire, but not until he finally sorted out things with Victory!Blanc. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy In the end, the latter also encourages him to stay there and enjoy his happiness]].]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He weaponizes Virtual Reality in his CPU form.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Devoted, chivalrous and loyal. At some instances he refers to himself as a knight as well.
** [[spoiler: His NEXT form especially invokes this motif.]]
* MoralityChain: His friends and family, but especially Noire.
* MrFanservice: Particularly as Red Heart.
* MyGreatestFailure: See TheAtoner.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: Just like his sister]].
* ShootTheDog: In White Victory.
--> ''Red Heart (To Anonydeath): ...You and your allies stole an innocent child's life. You all robbed her of her opportunity to grow up alongside her friends. You robbed her of her teenage years, her adult life, all that it could have been. You lied to Peashy. You deceived her, claiming to be her father. You brainwashed and manipulated her against us, her true family. All for the sake of your plans. All for your depraved hedonism! No more. The sins you have committed against this land and against my family are too heavy for you to ever redeem yourself. You will not walk away from this alive!''
* [[spoiler: SiblingYinYang: Blanc is TheStoic, introverted, easily angered StoneWall. Virtus is a calm, outgoing and lively FragileSpeedster BoisterousBruiser.]]
* SignatureMove: Brutal Swing.
* SupportingProtagonist: For how much him and El Tornado love appealing to the crowd, Virtus is perfectly happy to support the CPUS and CPU candidates from the background.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
** TallDarkAndSnarky
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverKill: See the HSQ entry above.
* TranquilFury
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Noire [[spoiler: after he realizes he's fallen in love with her]]. The irony of this is not lost on the rest of the cast.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Noire.
!!'''El Tornado'''
->''"[[GratuitousSpanish Yo soy El Tornado! La Tempestad de la Justicia!]]"''
When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.
* {{Adorkable}}
* BashBrothers: With Virtus.
* BadassBoast: Being based on a MaskedLuchador, he dishes these like there's no tomorrow.

* CharacterTic: Speaking spanish words in the middle of his sentences.

!!'''Kine'''
-> ''I know this is really sudden but...Know that I'll do my absolute best to be a good little sister to you, big sister Vert!"
The CPU Candidate of Leanbox, born from a boost in Leanbox' shares resulting from Vert and IF making their relationship official and public. Kine is a PluckyGirl very devoted to her big sister and very prone to singing praise regarding her friends. As Green Sister, her energetic personality gives place to a sophisticated and mildly cocky personality. Unlike the other CPUs and CPU candidates, who are based on portable consoles, Kine is the personification of the Kinect.
* BadassAdorable: Like every other CPU candidate.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT insult or harm Vert or Leanbox.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's absurdly nice, but that flail is there for a reason...
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]
* CuteBruiser
* EpicFlail: As Green Sister.
* {{Foil}}: To Nepgear as CPU canditates immensely devoted to their big sisters, although they differ in which Nepgear is mild-mannered and Kine is more energetic and Kine is also the one that gets spoiled by Vert rather than the other way around with Nepgear and Neptune.
* GlacierWaif
* IncestSubtext: Averted. Despite how much she loves and worships her big sister, Kine actually expresses disgust at the idea of having romantic feelings for Vert and is supporting of her relationship with IF.
* LadyOfWar: As Green Sister.

* MightyGlacier: Understandable, given her WeaponOfChoice.
* NiceGirl

!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* AntiHero: He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
* BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
* BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
* BadassLongcoat
* BadassLonghair
* BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster

* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''

* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.

* {{HSQ}}: His EXE Drive as NEXT Red, V.R - Delete. NEXT Red's augmented virtual reality powers allow him to create a red sphere that he launches at the opponent, trapping it in a cybernetic space which he can fully control with the VR Gear.

The CPU Candidate of Leanbox, born from a boost in Leanbox' shares resulting from Vert and IF making their relationship official and public. Kine is a PluckyGirl very devoted to her big sister and very prone to singing praise regarding her friends. As Green Sister, her energetic personality gives place to a sophisticated and mildly cocky personality. Unlike the other CPUs and CPU candidates, who are based on portable consoles, Kine is the personification of the Kinect.

* CuteBruiser
* EpicFlail: As Green Sister.
* {{Foil}}: To Nepgear as CPU canditates immensely devoted to their big sisters, although they differ in which Nepgear is mild-mannered and Kine is more energetic and Kine is also the one that gets spoiled by Vert rather than the other way around with Nepgear and Neptune.
* GlacierWaif
* IncestSubtext: Averted. Despite how much she loves and worships her big sister, Kine actually expresses disgust at the idea of having romantic feelings for Vert and is supporting of her relationship with IF.
* LadyOfWar: As Green Sister.
* MeaningfulName: KINEct.
* MightyGlacier: Understandable, given her WeaponOfChoice.
* NiceGirl
* PluckyGirl
* ZettaiRyouki: Grade-A

[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir. Chika is Vert's closest online gaming partner, Mina is a close friend of Financier wanting to help Blanc and care for Rom & Ram and the reformed Arfoire becomes Planeptune's oracle following the events of Re;1.
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Virtus gives one to Noire after she confesses that she doesn't want him to leave as she grew too fond of him but she knows he can't leave Blanc behind.]]
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2'''
The second installment of the trilogy and an adaptation of HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2. Gamindustri is attacked by a group calling itself MSIC or Momus Syndicate of International Crime. After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2 contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationDistillation: Because this follows Re;1's canon, Arfoire's role in the source material is replaced by Momus and the Four Felons are fragments of Momus' essence created with its remaining power before it was destroyed in Re;1.
* BeachEpisode: The anime's R-18 Island episode gets adapted here as one of these, albeit replaced by the heroes spending a well-earned holiday in one of Lastation's resorts. Doubles as a HotSpringsEpisode
* BerserkButton: CFW Trick finds out the hard way what happens if you lay a finger on Rom & Ram within Virtus' presence.
* CharacterDevelopment: All CPU candidates go through theirs, just like in the source material.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Nepgear overcoming her lack of confidence and rising to unite the 4 nations against The Four Felons.
** Nepgear's speech before the party goes to the CPU Graveyard to rescue the CPUs.
** Nepgear's final battle against the Deity of Sin.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:
--> Noire: ''Wh-why are you surprised?'
--> Ram: ''Don't couples take baths like this together?'''
--> Rom: ''We read it in one of Blanc's books...''
--> Blanc: ''(SpitTake}''
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' YouAreBetterThanYouThinkAre speech to Nepgear.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler: Red Heart vs White Sisters.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Virtus' HeroicBSOD over failing to prevent the CPUs from losing to CFW Magic and their subsequent capture.]]
** [[spoiler: Virtus being forced to fight Rom & Ram after CFW Trick brainwashes them.]]
** [[spoiler: Kine trying her hardest not to break down and stay strong to give the Leanbox citizens hope in Vert's absence.]]
** [[spoiler: Uni's breakdown over not being strong enough to fight alongside Noire and later losing to CFW Brave.]]
** [[spoiler: Ram & Rom crying in Virtus' arms over how much they miss Blanc.]]
** [[spoiler: Nepgear's absolute lack of confidence at the start of the plot as she struggles to move on from not being able to save Neptune the first time.]]
* TeamDad: Virtus to the CPU Candidates.
* TraumaCongaLine: Virtus. [[spoiler: Blanc and Noire are captured and he blames himself for not going with them, he has to fight the brainwashed Rom & Ram and watch his sister and lover nearly die along with his friends.]] The true consequences of this are seen in White Victory.
* XanatosGambit: CFW Magic pulls one against the heroes. [[spoiler: If the CPU Containment Field is able to eliminate the CPUs, the leaked share can be used to revive Momus. If CFW Magic is defeated, she can offer herself as a sacrifice along with the other Felons to revive Momus.]]
!!'''White Victory'''
The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Kine standing up to ''Iris Heart'' after the latter comes on to Vert and Blanc.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Virtus and Tornado's reaction to the Ultradimension not having a Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''NO! I need my favourite playground!"''
** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** [[spoiler: Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 5 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves. Which is volumes more than I can say about you. Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!? You tried to destroy not one, but two worlds out of pettiness. No matter how painful your failure is, you failed to learn from it. That's why you're a failure as a CPU, and why I'm putting you down for good!'']]
** [[spoiler: Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especifically, Virtus' speech to Blanc about how, out of all the others, she has the greatest potential to become a hero of the Ultradimension like Neptune is in her home dimension, stating how Blanc is always willing to correct her mistakes, was the first to declare she has no intention of seeing Leanbox and Lastation as enemies and is the most levelheaded out of all of the Ultradimension CPUs.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** [[spoiler: Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 5 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves. Which is volumes more than I can say about you. Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!? You tried to destroy not one, but two worlds out of pettiness. No matter how painful your failure is, you failed to learn from it. That's why you're a failure as a CPU, and why I'm putting you down for good!'']]
** [[spoiler: Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especifically, Virtus' speech to Blanc about how, out of all the others, she has the greatest potential to become a hero of the Ultradimension like Neptune is in her home dimension, stating how Blanc is always willing to correct her mistakes, was the first to declare she has no intention of seeing Leanbox and Lastation as enemies and is the most levelheaded out of all of the Ultradimension CPUs.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

!!My [[OriginalCharacter OCs]]
[[folder: Fortuna Academy]]
!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* "AntiHero": He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
** BadassLongcoat
** BadassLonghair
** BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
** HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
** BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
** BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BerserkButton: Do not insult or harm the people he cares about, especially Yumi, Jin and Sora. [[AlphaBitch Yozora]] and [[DumbMuscle Milos]] learned this the hard way.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* {{Badass}}: When Jin points out He and Ryuuga ''together'' can't stand a chance against a pissed off Yumi, you know she's this.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* {{Badass}}
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post {{Badass}} [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about. And for all that's holy and unholy, do NOT hurt Shiori.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: He had his underlings go around the world harversting souls to fuel his sword, hired assassins to kill Ryuuga to spite Kenpachi AND plotted the attack on Kyoko Town to further spite Kenpachi and Rose. He attacked Iori and Angelica during a family night in town and ends up killing Angelica as a result, resulting in Sora's crushing childhood. He intends to harverst the souls of Lyuri and Yusei solely for the sake of seeing Kenpachi and Rose uffer, all the while gloating about all of his deeds. All out of petty revenge for losing Rose to Kenpachi and being shown up by Kenpachi and Iori.]]
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]

* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight

* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.

!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: If laying a finger on Sora won't get Ryuuga after you, chances are you'll have this guy after your ass instead.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu]] [[ForMassiveDamage Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

[[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* "AntiHero": He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
** BadassLongcoat
** BadassLonghair
** BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
** HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
** BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
** BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BerserkButton: Do not insult or harm the people he cares about, especially Yumi, Jin and Sora. [[AlphaBitch Yozora]] and [[DumbMuscle Milos]] learned this the hard way.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* {{Badass}}: When Jin points out He and Ryuuga ''together'' can't stand a chance against a pissed off Yumi, you know she's this.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* {{Badass}}
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post {{Badass}} [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about. And for all that's holy and unholy, do NOT hurt Shiori.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: He had his underlings go around the world harversting souls to fuel his sword, hired assassins to kill Ryuuga to spite Kenpachi AND plotted the attack on Kyoko Town to further spite Kenpachi and Rose. He attacked Iori and Angelica during a family night in town and ends up killing Angelica as a result, resulting in Sora's crushing childhood. He intends to harverst the souls of Lyuri and Yusei solely for the sake of seeing Kenpachi and Rose uffer, all the while gloating about all of his deeds. All out of petty revenge for losing Rose to Kenpachi and being shown up by Kenpachi and Iori.]]
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: If laying a finger on Sora won't get Ryuuga after you, chances are you'll have this guy after your ass instead.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu]] [[ForMassiveDamage Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar

* ShipperOnDeck: She did [[=RyuugaxSora=]] before it was cool. She went the extra mile and helped them reunite by allowing Sora to run away from home.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Angelica and Sora.

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!!'''Virtus'''
->''"When Gamindustri needs a miracle, to the CPUs they pray. But when the CPUs are in distress, who comes for them? Within the shadows, one lurks. The one who dirties his hands. The one who operates from the sidelines. The quiet background they all need. Fear not, for when the CPUs need help, Red Heart emerges from beyond the curtains."''
The chivalrous, charming and witty former CPU of Lowee in the Ultradimension and the older brother of Ultradimension Blanc. Currently residing in the Superdimension Lastation's basilicom, working for Noire. [[spoiler: After his [[VirtualBoy attempt at creating a virtual reality console failed and was reported to send children into seizures and ultimately flop due to malfunctions]], Lowee's shares start plummeting along with his approval rating. Seeing no other way out and faced with his sister's request for him to run away, Virtus flees Lowee while Blanc informs the Lowee citizens that he was banished for his crimes against Lowee and following her brother's plan, brings Lowee back to prosperity at the cost of her brother]]. His CPU Form is called Red Heart and he represents the Virtual Boy.

* {{Foil}}: To Underling as the background support for their respective organizations with an animal partner.
* HappinessInSlavery: Is more than happy to work as Noire's personal butler.
* {{HSQ}}: [[spoiler: His EXE Drive as NEXT Red, V.R - Delete. NEXT Red's augmented virtual reality powers allow him to create a red sphere that he launches at the opponent, trapping it in a cybernetic space which he can fully control with the VR Gear. He then proceeds to use his V.R Blade to unleash several slashes that ''delete the target from the cyberspace'', finsihing the sob by sheating his blade into his shield, after which the sphere explodes.]]
* [[spoiler: IChooseToStay: Decides to stay in the Superdimension with Noire, but not until he finally sorted out things with Victory!Blanc. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy The latter also urges him to stay there where he will be truly happy]].]]

* TallDarkAndHandsome
** TallDarkAndSnarky

->''"[[GratuitousSpanish Yo soy El Tornado! La Tempestad de la Justicia!]]"''
When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.
* {{Adorkable}}

-> ''I know this is really sudden but...Know that I'll do my absolute best to be a good little sister to you, big sister Vert!"
The CPU Candidate of Leanbox, born from a boost in Leanbox' shares resulting from Vert and IF making their relationship official and public. Kine is a PluckyGirl very devoted to her big sister and very prone to singing praise regarding her friends. As Green Sister, her energetic personality gives place to a sophisticated and mildly cocky personality. Unlike the other CPUs and CPU candidates, Kine is the personification of the Kinect.
* BadassAdorable: Like every other CPU candidate.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT insult or harm Vert or Leanbox.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's absurdly nice, but that flail is there for a reason...
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]
* CuteBruiser
* EpicFlail: As Green Sister.
* {{Foil}}: To Nepgear as CPU canditates immensely devoted to their big sisters, although they differ in which Nepgear is mild-mannered and Kine is more energetic and Kine is also the one that gets spoiled by Vert rather than the other way around with Nepgear and Neptune.

!!My [[OriginalCharacter OCs]]
[[folder: Fortuna Academy]]
!!'''Ryuuga Yoshida'''
->''"The minute you decided to involve me in your master plan, your defeat was already sealed."''
The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* "AntiHero": He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
** BadassLongcoat
** BadassLonghair
** BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
** HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
** BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
** BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BerserkButton: Do not insult or harm the people he cares about, especially Yumi, Jin and Sora. [[AlphaBitch Yozora]] and [[DumbMuscle Milos]] learned this the hard way.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* {{Badass}}: When Jin points out He and Ryuuga ''together'' can't stand a chance against a pissed off Yumi, you know she's this.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* {{Badass}}
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post {{Badass}} [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about. And for all that's holy and unholy, do NOT hurt Shiori.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay

!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: He had his underlings go around the world harversting souls to fuel his sword, hired assassins to kill Ryuuga to spite Kenpachi AND plotted the attack on Kyoko Town to further spite Kenpachi and Rose. He attacked Iori and Angelica during a family night in town and ends up killing Angelica as a result, resulting in Sora's crushing childhood. He intends to harverst the souls of Lyuri and Yusei solely for the sake of seeing Kenpachi and Rose uffer, all the while gloating about all of his deeds. All out of petty revenge for losing Rose to Kenpachi and being shown up by Kenpachi and Iori.]]
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]

* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight

* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]

->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.

* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: If laying a finger on Sora won't get Ryuuga after you, chances are you'll have this guy after your ass instead.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu]] [[ForMassiveDamage Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood

!!'''Alexander Batista'''
->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

The main protagonist of Fortuna Academy. A quiet half-dragonfolk,half-human guy who has a hard time controlling his powers. [[spoiler: After his powers went out of control and he caused an accident that endangered many people from his town, he starts training hard be able to fully control his magic, which lead his parents to send his to the prestigious Fortuna Academy of Magic]]. He is wary of people, but treasures the ones he love. The best at snarky remarks.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Slices a building in half with one swing of his sword. Much later, he pulls this off by stabbing it. Granted, he had a bit of help from his black flames but still...
* "AntiHero": He says he is not a hero by any means, as he doesn't help people who he feels don't deserve the help, such as the majority of Kyoko Town who have shunned him after the Black Flame incident. But he says that he will protect the world [[BadassGrandma Dragna]] and [[WorldsStrongestMan Dragan]] sacrificed themselves to protect. [[IWasJustPassingThrough He will also justify that he just doesn't like bad guys when saving someone he's not particularly fond of]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassAdorable: Yes, he is a cool-headed intellectual person who becomes a full-blown BloodKnight as soon as he steps on the battlefield...and an ''absolute teddy bear'' when it comes to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]], [[CuteShotaroBoy Yusei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Lyuri]]. Hell, it even extends to [[TrueCompanions Yumi and Jin]].
** BadassLongcoat
** BadassLonghair
** BadassBookworm: Kicks ass and is a fond lover of books.
** HeartbrokenBadass: The aforementioned incident caused his lover's father to return to their hometown with her in town. Said event shook him quite deeply. He slowly gets over it, however.
** BadassBoast: "For people like you, there is one thing I lack. Namely, mercy."
** BadassNickname: He has two: "The Festival Reaper", due to a certain incident in his school's festival back in his hometown; and "Dragon Prince".
* BattleAura: An imposing, firey one.
* BattleCouple: With Sora.
* BerserkButton: Do not insult or harm the people he cares about, especially Yumi, Jin and Sora. [[AlphaBitch Yozora]] and [[DumbMuscle Milos]] learned this the hard way.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If he tells you not to mess with him and that he's in a bad mood on the same phrase, ''don't''.
* BloodKnight: Despite sporting a calm demeanor most of the time, he enjoys fighting to his heart’s content.
* {{Bishonen}}: A lot of characters agree, particularly [[LovableAlphaBitch Beatrice]], [[LoveableSexManiac Kanade]] and [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* BlueEyes
* TheCaretaker: Towards [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Sora]].
* CovertPervert: Chivalrous, smart, well-mannered and according to Sora, amazingly kinky.
* CursedWithAwesome: His black flames are absurdly destructive, but his lack of control means more often than not his flames will also end up damaging himself. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into the matter of Mana Poisoning.]]
* TheDeterminator: Only killing or knocking this guy unconscious will make him stop. [[TakeAThirdOption Or having Sora gently convince him to step back.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining traits.
* FlashStep
* FingerlessGloves
* FriendToAllChildren: Living with two loving younger siblings will do that to you.
* HyperAwareness
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a harsh one after Sora leaves, because for the first time in his life he wasn't strong enough for someone he loves.
* KiAttacks: Resorts to these since his bad mana control doesn't allow him to use many spells safely.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Very chivalrous and generally well mannered, and will put his life on the line for the people he cares about. No exceptions.
** KnightInSourArmor: But at the same time, his own experience with the townsfolk after his powers going out of control and Edward's story make him decide that some people just aren't worth saving. He reluctantly saves said people anyway because he knows Yumi and Jin would..
* MagicKnight: As 99% of the cast.
* PlayingWithFire: His main magical speciality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he goes BloodKnight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Iori.
--> [[spoiler: ''So you're saying that, so Sora can have what YOU perceive as a bright future, you didn't care about how she felt. Or how much you hurt her. Or that you stole from her what she wanted her whole life. Her friends. You deprived her of all freedom and happiness for YOUR selfish definition of what's good for her. You KNEW how important everything was to her, and yet you stole everything important to her! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HER FUTURE!! SORA'S FUTURE IS HERS TO DECIDE!! And for the sake of her future...YOU ARE GOING DOWN!'']]
* ShipperOnDeck: Like everyone else, towards Edward and Shiori.
* StrongButUnskilled: His absurdly massive raw magical strength is balanced by the fact his magic control is very unstable.
* SupportingProtagonist: Views himself as this and goes out of his way to ensure it stays this way.
* TemptingFate: One day he was walking to school with Yumi and Jin, when they were constantly teasing Ryuuga about getting a girlfriend and Ryuuga says the perfect girl isn't just gonna fall from the sky. [[CueTheFlyingPigs Cue Sora falling on his arms.]]
* TranquilFury: He never loses his calm, on the outside. His rage instead shows in harder hits than usual.
* UndyingLoyalty: To his family, but especially to Yumi and Jin, his first and greatest friends. Despite his rather jaded view on the world, he never really stops being helpful towards people because he knows Yumi and Jin would do so and he puts his faith in their judgement instead.
* WouldHitAGirl: His first major battles in the series were all against women. He doesn't actually raise a hand against a lady, unless he is attacked first or challenged to a fight by one, as his fights with [[SmugSnake Karin]] and [[BloodKnight Laura]] demonstrate.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Well, silver.
!!'''Tropes applying to Ryuuga in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The black flame incident still happens here, but people in Kyoko Town treat him much worse this time around.
* AmazonChaser: Once he learns the masked [[WingedHumanoid celeste]] he was fighting is actually a woman, and a gorgeous one at that, he starts falling in love with her once he witnesses her character and strength.
* BloodKnight: Moreso than his original counterpart. Because of the built-up resentment from the worse treatment he gets from the Kyoko Town people, he becomes much more unhinged in battle.
* TheCaretaker: He's more this to Sora here than his original self, as in this continuity he finds Sora starving, destitute and on the verge of death.
!!'''Yumi Suzuki'''
->''"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever have."''
Ryuuga's best friend, a mature, outgoing, strong-willed and tomboyish girl. Although mature, she tends to anger easily and is not above disciplining someone with an occasional swift smack. Since they were kids, she had a crush on childhood friend Jin Takamura, but was never [[CannotSpitItOut able to say it]] due to conflicting feelings. [[spoiler: After a storm causes Jin to stay the night at her house, Yumi and Jin confess to each other and she ends up being more open about her feelings]]. Gives the best advice.
* ActionGirl: One of the best examples in the series.
* {{Badass}}: When Jin points out He and Ryuuga ''together'' can't stand a chance against a pissed off Yumi, you know she's this.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she had her crush on Jin.
* BerserkButton: As [[JerkJock Lloyd]]'s [[GroinAttack balls were glad to demonstrate]], being an ass to the students won't be good for you if she's around.
** Be an ass to girls, period. Although she's not man-hating. She is quite aware that things can be the other way around.
* BetaCouple: With Jin.
* CannotSpitItOut: She started as this towards Jin at first. [[spoiler: After he comforted her during a stormy night, they both confessed to each other]].
* ElementalPowers: Her spell cards allow her to use a wide variety of spells, but her primary element is water.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, and she's damn good at it.
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest of the main trio, but can't take many hits. Assuming you hit her at all.
* {{Foil}}: To Sora, in a way. Yumi is more outgoing while Sora is more introverted.
* GenkiGirl: Mild example.
* GiantWaistRibbon
* GlassCannon
* HotAmazon
* LadyOfWar
* KatanasAreJustBetter
* MacrossMissileMassacre: She can do this with ''water bullets''.
* MakingASplash: While she ''is'' able to use other types of ElementalMagic, as Chapter 8 demonstrates, her primary choice is water-based magic.
* MsFanservice
* OfficialCouple: With Jin.
* ShipperOnDeck: To Ryuuga and Sora before they became official, to Shiori and Edward and to Rin and Beatrice.
* ShoutOut: One skit has her using the [[{{Kinnikuman}} Palo Special]] on Jin.
* SlapSlapkiss: Started as this with Jin.
* SkinshipGrope: Loves doing this to Sora.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheLancer: Ryuuga's.
* TrueCompanions: With Ryuuga and Jin. It later carries on to [[TheQuietOne Sora]], [[ShrinkingViolet Edward]] , [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] and [[NiceGirl Shiori]]. Same to the entirety of the Disciplinary Comittee.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Sora's Girly Girl.
!!'''Jin Takamura'''
->''"Oh, sorry! Where you under the impression I was giving a fuck?"''
Ryuuga's other best friend. An upbeat, simple-minded and somewhat reckless boy who loves fighting. He had a rather normal childhood, growing up with Yumi and Ryuuga. Eventually, his home would suffer a major blow as his harpy mother would [[AbusiveParents endlessly put down everyone with insults]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe think everyone should be serving her]]. Jin eventually has enough of her shit and kicks her out of the house, but remains a chirpy, carefree man despite all that. The fastest to accept a challenge.
* {{Badass}}
* BetaCouple: With Yumi.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think someone this nice and upbeat wouldn't get scary when angered, specially considering he hangs out with [[TheDreaded Ryuuga]]. ''WRONG''.
* BloodKnight: Enjoys a good brawl. Also, the best way to get him to do something is by mentioning fighting could be involved. [[GenreSavvy Yumi]] uses this to her advantage quite a bit.
* [[BrilliantButLazy Lazy]] [[DumbMuscle Muscle]]: He is not dumb by any means, but he is not the brightest of the trio either. He is just very lazy. He is also the one with the greatest physical strength of the trio.
* CloudCuckooLander
* GeniusDitz: He can infuse pieces of jewelry that have lightning encased in the stone, and defying the impossible, managed to pull off the Lightning Fireworks he wanted to brew in a skit.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: A firm believer of this. He had a nosebleed both times Yumi was shown groping Sora.
* MightyGlacier: He's by no means slow, but he comes up pretty short in comparison to Yumi and Ryuuga. But when he connects, ''he connects''.
* OfficialCouple: With Yumi.
* TheDogBitesBack: His mom finds out the hard way that she is no longer welcome in the house after years of mistreatment towards his father, himself and his siblings.
* ShockAndAwe
!!'''Sora Christine Ikaros'''
->''"I love the way you're always there for me. I love the way you're always trying to improve yourself. I love how you go out of your way for the people you care about. I love the way you purrs when I caress your hair in your sleep. I love the warm feeling I get when you pet my head. I love the way your presence makes me feel safe. I love the way you always encourage me to be the best I can be...When I heard you being so harsh on yourself, I felt like listing all the things I love about you."''
A quiet girl born in Celia. Sora lived a very secluded childhood and lost her mother at the early age of 5. She grew lonely and sad, but that slowly changed as she moved to Kyoko Town and met Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and Rin, eventually falling in love with the former and slowly opening up to everyone. Unfortunately, the Black Flame Incident endangered her life, causing her KnightTemplar PapaWolf to move back to Celia away from the "bad influences". But Ryuuga's promise that he'd come for her and the memories of her time with her friends would give her the confidence and strength to pursue her happiness and eventually, she ran away from home and is now on her way back to happiness. Has the prettiest smile of the group.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Ryuuga as she is returning to her hometown the day after, meaning they won't see each other again. [[spoiler: For two years anyway.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Ryuuga remarks that, quiet she may be, there is a "very strong valkyrie inside her".
* BerserkButton: Don't touch Ryuuga, her friends, or her manga drafts.
* BrokenBird: Sora's mother died when she was 5. This alone left her absolutely broken. Then everything went downhill from here. Iori wouldn't let her go outside, ''ever'', and thus Sora grew up having ''no'' friends. This lonely background would change after a therapist told Iori that Sora would grow well if she was in a peaceful enviroment where she could interact with people, which prompted The Ikaros family to move to Iori's former house in Kyoko Town, [[HopeSpot where she'd finally make friends and later fall in love with someone who loved her back]]...until said LoveInterest would be the cause of a Magical Frenzy that devastated a park and endangered her life...causing Iori to go KnightTemplar PapaWolf and take Sora away from Kyoko Town and back to Celia, which also marked his StartOfDarkness, resorting to physical discipline everytime Sora "rebelled" against him (read: thought of Ryuuga and her friends). Needless to say, the poor girl was completely ''traumatized''.
* CryCute
* CuteMute: Not exactly mute, but she still is very quiet.
* EmotionlessGirl: At first. Even now, she can't show many emotions, but little by little, she's opened up to Ryuuga and the rest of her friends.
* ExtremeDoormat: Averted. She is shy and withdrawn, but when Beatrice starts talking her down in front of Ryuuga, Sora promptly shuts the AlphaBitch up.
* GladToBeAliveSex: With Ryuuga after he nearly dies protecting her from [[BloodKnight Sakki]].
* HiddenDepths: Would you believe this quiet LadyOfWar is a Manga artist?
* LadyOfWar
* MeaningfulName: As a WingedHumanoid, Sora is fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Post {{Badass}} [[TookALevelInBadass leveling up]]
* RapunzelHair: Post the Time-skip between her departure from Kyoko Town and her return.
* SkinshipGrope: She often finds herself on the receiving end of one from Yumi.
* TheOjou
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInBadass: This ShrinkingViolet who feared disobeying her father became massively stronger after inspiration from her friends, stood up to her father, ran away from home, was trained by a [[spoiler: BadassPrincess]] and became a confident valkyrie that can take down assassins in one blow. She is still quiet and somewhat shy, but nowhere as insecure as she was at first.
* [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters Turned Against Her]] [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Ryuuga was fighting Kato, a trained assassin, and lost. Sora saved him right when he was about to be finished off and fights Kato. Kato didn't leave ''one scratch'' on her and went down in one hit.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She was never allowed to interact with people after her mother died, which was when she was 5. So when she starts making friends at the age of 13 and slowly falls in love with Ryuuga, she doesn't know what to make of it until Yumi explains it to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Ryuuga mentions the first time he started falling in love with her was when he saw her smiling for the first time.
* WingedHumanoid: Comes with being a Celeste.
!!'''Tropes applying to Sora in Fortuna Academy ~ Another Side'''
* BrokenBird: Her mother dies from the same illness in this continuity and her father dies in a war. She was left alone and believing the only way to survive was to fight for Gabriel's army. She is not happy about it but sees no way out.[[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga comes around]].
* CharClone
* HeelFaceTurn: She ultimately joins Ryuuga's side after falling in love with him.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Subverted. She ''knows'' of what her and Ryuuga sharing a bed entails, but [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is completely fine with it as she is grateful to him for saving her life and refuses to let him sleep on the floor or couch while she gets the bed.]]
* LadyOfWar
* LaserGuidedKarma: Bening example. After seeing Ryuuga playing with Lyuri and how much she loves him, She abandons her mission to assassinate him because she couldn't bring herself to make another child go through the same pain she has. Later on, she is branded a traitor and is left with no place to call home and finds herself nearing death in her struggle to survive...and it is Ryuuga that finds her and cares for her.[[spoiler: She ultimately falls in love with him as a result.]]
* LoveConfession: A very heartfelt one to Ryuuga after she finally comes to terms with her feelings for the guy:
--> ''I never imagined that my most formidable foe would be the one to give me the happiness I wanted for so long...From today on...my sword shall swing for you...and my heart shall beat for you...''
* LoveRedeems: Her decision to leave [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gabriel']]s [[KnightTemplar army]] and fight on Ryuuga's side was ultimately motivated by her feelings for the latter after he saves her life.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ryuuga's first encounter with her, her hair is tied and tucked in to make it appear shorter and her costume does a good job at concealing her figure.
* WorthyOpponent: To Ryuuga. Despite being on opposing sides, Ryuuga greatly respects her strength and grows to admire her as a result.
!!'''Edward Redbark'''
->''"I'll be a hero to the people...but above all else, I'll be a hero to the friends that showed me the light!"''
A timid boy coming from [[Eagleland Neova]], Redhill Town and keeper of the [[EldritchAbomination HellKnight]]. He was chosen to be the Hellknight's host at a very young age and never fully understood why it had to be him of all people. As a result of the Hellknight's past deeds, the townsfolk lived in fear that Edward wouldn't be able to control it and let it loose again and so, Edward lived as an outcast. Later, he was invited to join the academy and passed Tamashii Roda's test, who told him the Academy would provide him with all he needed to truly keep the HellKnight under control. Has the most flexible body.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Edward delivers a very powerful one to his former best friend Yukiko when the latter is trying to make amends for breaking her promise to him:
--> Edward: Yukiko....I'm glad you came here to talk things out...but I cannot accept your apologies. You hurt me a lot back then. It's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again...
--> Yukiko: You can't mean that....W-what about everything we've had together...?
--> Edward: That didn't matter to you when you started to treat me like a monster like all the others, did it?
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: Do NOT use the word "freak" or "monster" to refer to someone he cares about. And for all that's holy and unholy, do NOT hurt Shiori.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually timid, nervous and-DID HE JUST SLICE OFF A BAD GUY'S ARM?
* BloodKnight: Not him, but the Hellknight.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CursedWithAwesome: Having the HellKnight sealed into his body. It makes everyone hate him but the trade off is access to its massive power gives him strength that is enough to rival [[AxCrazy Beattia]], TheDreaded rogue student from Fortuna Academy that has enough power to rival [[BadassInANiceSuit Tamashii]]. But the cursed part is gone now that he found TrueCompanions in Ryuuga, Yumi, Jin and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, and an accepting LoveInterest in Shiori.
* DeathGlare: He finds himself giving these whenever he's serious, as Beattia learns the hard way.
* DespairEventHorizon: It's already bad enough that the townsfolk shunned him a la [[{{Naruto}} Konoha]], but [[spoiler: the one girl outside of his family, Yukiko, that actually believed in him ends up hating him thanks to Edward's powers going out of control and hurting her by accident. That drives Ed all the wait to the other side of the horizon.]]
* TheDeterminator: He's gone through a lot more than Ryuuga did, but never gave up. [[spoiler: Except for one [[AttemptedSuicide unfortunate moment]] that fortunately wasn't concluded thanks to Tamashii, Jet and Aria's intervention.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: Moreso than Ryuuga. Where as Ryuuga edges into Anti-Hero territory, Ed is a full-blown LawfulGood hero.
* MagicKnight
* TheWoobie: ''Holy''.''Shit''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Someone ''finally'' says that to him after all the crap he went through.
!!'''Hiruma Asashi'''
->''"In my position, you don't survive unless you hone your skills to the sharpest they can be."''
The Fortuna Academy Disciplinary Comittee president and leader. A [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Tenebrian]] orphan who grew up in an orphanage, who slowly developed an affinity for guns, eventually getting a pair of guns, one black, one white, from the orphanage lady as a keepsake from the house he was found in. Hiruma is level-headed and a reasonable person, but also observant, able to see through people's lies in their expressions and body reactions. Has the scariest grin.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the Disciplinary Commitee's boss for a reason.
* AxCrazy: His greeting to Ryuuga on Chapter 6 was to shoot him(Ryuuga blocked it) and lock blades with him. This should be a good hint.
* BerserkButton: Try and harm Alice in any way, and chances are he'll use you for moving target practice. And harming anyone from his commitee ''will'' cause him to go PapaWolf and go out for blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When this guy isn’t smiling, pray.
* BlindingBangs
* CoolGun: Both his pistols have hidden retractable blades for close combat.
* DualWielding
* GravityMaster
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SlasherSmile
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only one he'd ever have any feelings for is Alice.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
!!'''Shiori Brunel''
->''"Now I understand you...And I want you to understand that you'll never be alone ever again."''
The bubbly, kindhearted vice president of the student council. Known for being a studious, helpful and dutiful [[WingedHumanoid Celeste]] girl, Shiori is a suprisingly capable fighter beneath her GirlNextDoor personality, although she dislikes it. She is the first friend Edward meets in the academy and the one to show the Academy to Ryuuga, Yumi and Jin. Her cute looks, bubbly and helpful personality and her brains place her as one of the most popular girls in the academy. She yields a staff and specializes in light magic and supporting her allies. The most likely to hit a post while reading a book.
* CoolBigSis: To Maria.
* GirlNextDoor
* HardLight: Her Wingblade spell creates blades of light that function this way.
* LightTheWay
* {{Meganekko}}
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The minute she enters Edward's life, his gloomy life takes a 180º
* SilkHidingSteel: One of the nicest, most feminine girls in the series. And also one that will not back down from a fight against the EldritchAbomination possessing her crush.
* TheHeart: The reason Alice chose her as her Vice-President was because of how her talent to reach out to virtually anyone with her kindness.
* WingedHumanoid
!!'''Raziel "Oni" Fernandes'''
->''"I'm having love troubles. And I was told you're the best person to go to for advice."''
Nicknamed [[RedBaron "Oni"]] among the academy, Raziel is a second year student that is pretty much one of [[TheDreaded the most feared students in the academy]]. His nickname comes from his imposing aura and demonic appearance. His face is hidden to hide scars from a past event which left more than physical scars on him. He seems very unnaproacheable, but he's oddly often seem near the room where Fortuna Academy's local band seems to practice. The hardest to scare.
* BerserkButton: Threathening anyone from the Music Club ''will'' get you trashed by this guy. Also, saying anything positive about wars.
* ChainedByFashion: His regular outfit has plenty of chains, and he goes the extra mile and uses chains to fight.
* CutenessProximity: This fearsome, cold looking Felian ''absolutely melts'' whenever [[ShrinkingViolet Felli]] is around.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When asking Ryuuga for advice about what to do after comforting Felli and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not knowing how to deal with this odd feeling welling up inside him]], he doesn't even try to pull IWasJustPassingThrough to justify his PetTheDog moment and that's how you know he's just scared of getting close to people but is a massive teddy bear at heart. Moreso by his answer to Ryuuga's question as to what triggering his desire to help her in the first place:
--> ''I couldn't just leave her there, could I? It felt like if I did so [[BrokenBird she'd break.]] How can I just turn my back and do nothing when she's suffering so much?''
* PetTheDog: He pushes away pretty much everyone who tries to make a conversation with him. Then he finds Felli absolutely heartbroken, bawling and fallen on her knees after being rejected by her long-time crush, and the first thing he does is take her on a date to make her feel better. [[HeartwarmingMoments It works.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He dresses like he is ready to go to a punk rock concert. Yet his favourite songs are the cutesy ones played by the Music Club.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fellisexual. He admits it in-story.
* TheDreaded: Because he wears black and red clothes with a hood, having most of his face covered up and the fact his chains rattle with every step, he gives off a really menacing aura that is the source of his reputation. His fighting prowess also backs it up. [[spoiler: His faces are bandaged because he doesn't want people to see his scars.]]
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: The following line from Felli makes him smile for what seemed like ages:
--> ''You're scary...I used to think that...You're cold...I used to think that too. You picked me up that night...and showed me the warmest heart I've ever seen below that icy shell...Thank you so much...Rasiel...for everything...''
!!'''[[spoiler: Kodoku Kanoji]]'''
->''"[[spoiler: Everything that was rightfully mine! Rose! The prestige of being a Fortuna Academy graduate! All taken from me because of you and that upstart feathered bastard!! Ever since then, my whole purpose in life was to inflict upon you the same despair and humiliation I felt when I was expelled!!]]"''
The first major BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: He was a classmate of Ryuuga's parents in Fortuna Academy and one of Rose's suitors, but Kenpachi beat him to the punch and he grew bitter as a result. Fueled by avarice, he wishes to rule the world to get back at Kenpachi for stealing the glory that he claims should have been his.]]
* BigBad: The first major one.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: He had his underlings go around the world harversting souls to fuel his sword, hired assassins to kill Ryuuga to spite Kenpachi AND plotted the attack on Kyoko Town to further spite Kenpachi and Rose. He attacked Iori and Angelica during a family night in town and ends up killing Angelica as a result, resulting in Sora's crushing childhood. He intends to harverst the souls of Lyuri and Yusei solely for the sake of seeing Kenpachi and Rose uffer, all the while gloating about all of his deeds. All out of petty revenge for losing Rose to Kenpachi and being shown up by Kenpachi and Iori.]]
* EvilIsHammy: When EvilGloating, he ''really'' lets himself go.
* EvilIsPetty: He is essentially driven to commit all the atrocities he did over the series out of petiness for losing to Kenpachi and Iori during their academy days.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After Ryuuga defeats him, he creates a circle of black flames around them that cuts off all escape routes Kodoku could have and states that the only way out is to defeat him. That after Kodoku had a VillainousBreakdown over being completely overpowered by Ryuuga. What follows is Kodoku utterly broken by despair, mindlessly charging at Ryuuga while the latter carves him up and heals him with the white flames until Ryuuga has had enough of tormenting him.]]
!!'''Karin Ringwalker'''
->''"I must say, by the way, that I appreciate your style. Most people would just demand me to surrender or leave. Good to see someone willing to be courteous."''
An agent of darkness who seeks powerful magical relics with the intention to use their power for her personal goals. She is the current villain of the series. The most devout Light Novel reader.
* CastingAShadow
* CrazyPrepared: She had a fake corpse prepared in case her first attempt to raid Dragan's Manor failed, and she always has a counter-measure to whichever bumps she may run into on the course of her plans' execution.
* TheDragon: She seemed to be the BigBad at first, but it is revealed she is merely the second-in-command of her organization.
* EvilIsHammy: ''Very'' flamboyant.
* RoyalRinglets
!!'''Sakki Youkai'''
->''"You dance quite well...Will you sing me a melody when I run my sword through you as well?"''
A serial-killer[=/=]necromancer who collects souls to fuel her magic, with a clear passion for blood and death. Seeks to become immortal. The most avid blood fetishist.
* AxCrazy
* BloodKnight
* EvilIsHammy: She takes after he mistress quite well.
* {{Expy}}: A flamboyant, sadistic villain that goes around the world to help fuel the goals of a greater evil she serves. [[TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Y'think it fills her heart with rainbows?]]
* MeaningfulName: Youkai Sakki means literally "Demonic Bloodthirst".
* NumberTwo: To Karin.
* VillainousBreakdown: She starts cracking when nothing she throws at Kenpachi works. Then she gets the tables of fear turned on her when she starts shaking in fear of Kenpachi before meeting with her untimely demise. [[spoiler: At least, her fake corpse's.]]
!!'''Daran Jack "DJ" Beattia'''
->''“The weak are nothing more than food for the strong”''
A former Fortuna Academy student, Beattia is a SocialDarwinist that believes only the strong will be fit to live. He sent a fellow student to near-death at one point, which got him expelled. Spiteful, he seeks payback, and joined Karin to do so. Has the spikiest hair.
* AxCrazy: He is always with his wide grin and manic eyes, no matter the situation. He also gets a little too excited when facing Tamashii.
* BloodKnight: See AxCrazy.
* DeathSeeker: His last words to Tamashii before Shiori intervened in their fight imply that he longs for a fight to the death.
* ItAmusedMe: He seems to perform all of his vile acts for the sole reason panic and chaos amuse him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He constantly taunted Edward and Tamashii during their encounter, tried to kill Shiori twice out to spite Edward and Tamashii and did not care one bit about the fact he nearly killed a fellow student.
* SocialDarwinist: See his quote.
* ThisCannotBe: When [[spoiler: Edward slices his arm off]].
* WorthOpponent: Views Tamashii, and later Edward, as one.
!!'''Iori Clifford Ikaros'''
->''“I'll defeat you...and bring that rebbelious brat home and put her in her place!!!”''
Iori is Sora's very cold and strict father. Formerly a cold person with good intentions, Iori ends up losing his way with the death of his wife Angelica. Unable to cope with the loss, Iori did all in his power to keep Sora inside the household, as to not lose her like he did Angelica. He decides to move to Kyoko Town hoping it'll do good to her daughter, but an incident caused by Ryuuga causes Iori's Heel Realization to come to a stop midway and become a full-blown Knight Templar in his urge to protect his daughter, and so takes her back to their hometown afterwards, resorting to physical discipline to stop Sora from pursuing her happiness. But Sora's love for Ryuuga was greater than anything else and so she eventually ran away. The family stewardess, Stella, followed suit, and so, Iori's life fell apart. The worst at diplomacy.
* [[VillainousBreakdown Antagonistic Breakdown]]: He is not a villain per se, but an antagonist nonetheless. It took Sora leaving him, Stella leaving him and [[spoiler: Ryuuga giving him the mother of all [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown No Holds Barred Beatdowns]] AND a very well placed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] to make him realize just what he caused to himself and his daughter. He ''breaks in tears'' and starts endlessly cursing himself afterwards.
* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler: losing to Ryuuga]], he decides to make amends starting with apologizing to Kenpachi and Rose for insulting Ryuuga in front of them and giving Ryuuga a piece of {{Magitek}} armor that stabilizes his magical control.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Iori is called the Winged Don for a very good reason. It doesn't, however, help him at all against Ryuuga.
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: If laying a finger on Sora won't get Ryuuga after you, chances are you'll have this guy after your ass instead.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's usually calm, and collected, but put Sora in risk and he'll show why you should beware. He also loses the quiet a considerable lot after Sora runs away.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: After being hit with Ryuuga's point-blank [[FinishingMove Bakuhatsu]] [[ForMassiveDamage Tenryuuken]]. Across the room AND right into the outside of the Fontaine Villa.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[EvilCounterpart Antagonistic Counterpart]]: To Ryuuga. Both are level-headed, pragmatic individuals who are very protective of Sora. Only Ryuuga acknowledges Sora's strength and independence and doesn't try control or restric her freedom while Iori doesn't and continues to believe that Sora can only secure a bright future under his oversight.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Below his right eye.
* {{Jerkass}}: He ''earned'' the moniker King Asshole.
* LightIsNotGood: His magic is primarily light-based, but he spends nearly the entirety of the first half of the series as an antagonist. [[spoiler: At least until Ryuuga beats it out of him]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Yes, Iori. [[spoiler: By all means, do shout that you've beaten up your daughter in front of her very protective boyfriend who has a grudge against you. That won't backfire in the slightest.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He was on the receiving end of a NASTY one from [[spoiler: Ryuuga]]. Kenpachi notes Iori was lucky to only come out of it with a few bruises and a few cracked bones.
* PapaWolf: For better or worse, one thing is for certain: He only has Sora's well-being in mind. Of course, his actions prior to his encounter with Ryuuga ''heavily'' contradict this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Got no less than ''two'', one from Stella and one from Ryuuga, both essentially calling him out on how much his PapaWolf instincts became borderline KnightTemplar territory and how much it permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter.
* ScarsAreForever
* SpamAttack : Has this in Hephestus Storm, which is a MacrossMissileMassacre of Light Beams.
* UngratefulBastard: He was absolutely livid over Ryuuga endangering Sora's life by accident and when Sora runs away from home and Ryuuga nearly dies protecting her, he calls Ryuuga a monster for endangering Sora and ''shouts'' that he'll never allow a monster like him to be near Sora. ''When his parents and big sister'' are present.
* WhatAnIdiot: "Physical discipline wasn't enough...next time...I'll impose even harsher measures to keep that brat under control!!!" Oh Iori, you ''really'' shouldn't have said that...
!!'''Stella Scarlet'''
->''"My loyalty lies with you and you alone."''
The Ikaros family's chief stewardess and Sora's sister-figure.
* BattleButler
* Bifauxnen
* LadyOfWar
* LightIsGood

* UndyingLoyalty: To Angelica and Sora.

->''"Give a man who has lost everything something to protect once again...and watch as he fights to the last drop to keep that safe."''
A Brazilian teenager whose parents died in a revolution. When exploring the ruins of his house, he found a beat-up IS that activated a signal that was picked up by IS Academy. He and the IS that belonged to his mother were taken to IS academy and until the IS is fixed, Alexander enrolls into IS Academy and works as a janitor to pay tuition. While Brazilian, he has mannerisms you'd expect from a british person. The most passionate tea drinker.
* BerserkButton: Don't say "It's just tea." to him...
* {{Bishonen}}: To the point Ichika had to ask if he was really a guy.
--> ''Ichika: I gotta say, it is nice to have another guy around IS academy. Hang on...you're really a guy, right?''
--> ''Alexander: Why would you even ask that?''
--> ''Ichika: Because when Char first came here she was disguised as a guy and I didn't find out the truth until I came back to our room right after she was done with a shower.''
--> ''Alexander: Man, it's like awkwardness gravitates towards you. It's actually fascinating.''
* BrutalHonesty: He minces no words when voicing his opinions. This makes him an reliable listener as the girls trust him to give them an honest answer whenever they need his advice.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cecilia and Ichika. The latter also gives him ''plenty'' of chances to snark.
--> ''Maya: We'd need a material with very high-density to fix this one part of your IS.''
--> ''Alexander: Ichika?''
--> ''Cecilia: Not THAT definition of dense...''
--> ''Alexander: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that one. It just wrote itself for me.''
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Charlotte. She asks for a male perspective on how to win Ichika's heart, prompting Alexander to offer to give her tips on how to win him over. When his lessons are over and Char thanks him before heading off to convey her feelings to Ichika, Alexander has this to say to himself before [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he chooses to bury his feelings and let Charlotte be happy with Ichika]]:
--> ''Ah, Alexander... You have let your guard down and that woman ran off with your heart. ...... *Sigh* Ah, well. I must soldier on...''
* FriendshipMoment: With Ichika when he admits to Alexander that he knows of the girls' feelings for him but doesn't know how to deal with them because he cherishes all of them and doesn't want to break their hearts. Alexander delivers the following:
--> ''Alexander: You know...I used to think you were a really dense idiot, but good-hearted guy. But now? I feel like I respect you a lot more. You are a true gentleman, Ichika.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* PreAsskickingLine: One of the EliteMooks has Cecilia on the ropes and the only thing stopping Cecilia from being finished off is Alexander having the mook at gunpoint. When she taunts him about taking on an IS with only a flintlock and questioning if he really thinks he can do it, he counters with this:
--> ''Alexander: Yes.(Activates IS) I can. (BoomHeadshot)''
** [[TheComicallySerious He then proceeds to confess to Cecilia that he asked for his IS activator to be modified into a trigger installed into the back of his teeth just so he could pull off a moment like the above]].
* SeriousBusiness: He takes his brewing ''very'' seriously.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Charlotte and Ichika. He eventually explains to Ichika why.
--> ''Alexander: You two are just made for each other. You're kind to a fault and Char is considerate of you and she shows how much she loves you, even if you're too dense to get it at times. Cecilia, Houki and Rin are pretty damn terrible at getting their feelings through because they're too hellbent on indirect approaches thinking you'll eventually catch it. ''
--> ''Ichika: What about Laura?''
--> ''Alexander: She's a bio-engineered soldier who is only now learning how to socialize. She gets a pass. My point is, Char knows how to deal with you and all she really wants from you is for you to be you. I'm happy for you both, really. And to be honest, I was rooting for you too as well. Just don't tell the other girls that or you'll be back to being the only male in IS Academy.''
* SlapSlapKiss: With Cecilia.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His {{Angrish}} when faced with Ichika's ObliviousToLove antics can rival Vegeta.
* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sided case with Ichika. Ichika is pretty friendly to him and, despite the amount of snark Alexander bombards Ichika with, he considers Ichika a good friend.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "Another...chance..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators.

[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir.

* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.

** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.

The second installment of the trilogy and an adaptation of HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2. Gamindustri is attacked by a group calling itself MSIC or Momus Syndicate of International Crime. After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.
!!'''Lilac Mk.2 contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationDistillation: Because this follows Re;1's canon, Arfoire's role in the source material is replaced by Momus and the Four Felons are fragments of Momus' essence created with its remaining power before it was destroyed in Re;1.
* BeachEpisode: The anime's R-18 Island episode gets adapted here as one of these, albeit replaced by the heroes spending a well-earned holiday in one of Lastation's resorts. Doubles as a HotSpringsEpisode
* BerserkButton: CFW Trick finds out the hard way what happens if you lay a finger on Rom & Ram within Virtus' presence.
* CharacterDevelopment: All CPU candidates go through theirs, just like in the source material.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Nepgear overcoming her lack of confidence and rising to unite the 4 nations against The Four Felons.
** Nepgear's speech before the party goes to the CPU Graveyard to rescue the CPUs.
** Nepgear's final battle against the Deity of Sin.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:
--> Noire: ''Wh-why are you surprised?'
--> Ram: ''Don't couples take baths like this together?'''
--> Rom: ''We read it in one of Blanc's books...''
--> Blanc: ''(SpitTake}''
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' YouAreBetterThanYouThinkAre speech to Nepgear.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler: Red Heart vs White Sisters.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Virtus' HeroicBSOD over failing to prevent the CPUs from losing to CFW Magic and their subsequent capture.]]

** [[spoiler: Ram & Rom crying in Virtus' arms over how much they miss Blanc.]]
** [[spoiler: Nepgear's absolute lack of confidence at the start of the plot as she struggles to move on from not being able to save Neptune the first time.]]
* TeamDad: Virtus to the CPU Candidates.
* TraumaCongaLine: Virtus. [[spoiler: Blanc and Noire are captured and he blames himself for not going with them, he has to fight the brainwashed Rom & Ram and watch his sister and lover nearly die along with his friends.]] The true consequences of this are seen in White Victory.
* XanatosGambit: CFW Magic pulls one against the heroes. [[spoiler: If the CPU Containment Field is able to eliminate the CPUs, the leaked share can be used to revive Momus. If CFW Magic is defeated, she can offer herself as a sacrifice along with the other Felons to revive Momus.]]
!!'''White Victory'''
The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Virtus bringing himself to his feet out of sheer HeroicWillpower to, alongside El Tornado, stabilize the connection between the worlds so they all can pursue Rei in the Superdimension.
** Kine standing up to ''Iris Heart'' after the latter comes on to Vert and Blanc.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Virtus and Tornado's reaction to the Ultradimension not having a Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''NO! I need my favourite playground!"''
** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 4 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves? Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!?''
** Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her.

The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the BeachEpisode, Ram & Rom ask Blanc to go to the men's side of the hot springs to play with Virtus. After everyone understandably freaks out by the suggestion, the twins point out that the resort was reserved to all of them for the holiday, so the men's area would only be occupied by the big brother that would make a bloody mess out of anyone who'd try anything funny with them. Blanc is forced to concede the point. Ram & Rom then express surprise that Noire is not the one spending time with Virtus in there, after which the following exchange takes place:

The Third installment, adapting the events of HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory. MSIC and the Deity of Sin Momus are terminated. As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.
!!'''White Victory contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationalBadass: Neptune is always badass but she's much more proactive here and not afraid to voice her displeasure towards certain characters' actions. She also maintains her more heroic personality from Re;1.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Neptune gives a FIERCE barrage of these to Ultra!Noire after calling the latter out on her actions throughout the Lowee arc.
--> Neptune: What happened to the Noire that would tear off the spleen of anyone who'd try to steal Plutia from you? How is you trying to sabotage Planeptune for Lastation's benefit any better than all the things you were ripping into Blanc for doing? And one more thing: I NEED Planeptune's shares to go back home! Did you think about that when you did what you did!?
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: While the other CPUs keep him occupied, Anonydeath gets hacked by Virtus and El Tornado long enough for Tornado to be able to retrieve the Noire pictures and videos he kept for his twisted perversions.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: After Plutia, Noire, Neptune and Blanc are incarcerated by Mr.Badd, Virtus arrives to bail them out.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Iris Heart threatens to take out her anger at Mr.Badd on Noire, Red Heart steps in between them and telling her 3 words no one else in the entire cast had the guts to do:
--> Red Heart: ''Back off, Plutia.''
** Then the fight itself: Virtus is well-aware that Iris Heart [[CombatSadomasochist would probably take great pleasure from losing]] and losing to her would only further compound the problems the party already has with her, so he instead decides to TakeAThirdOption: ''tire her out'' by dodging every single hit. Iris Heart gets so frustrated that she's not having fun that she has a full-on VillainousBreakdown and Red Heart then takes her down with a single hit.
** Every single time Neptune called out Noire for her actions in the Lowee arc.
** When the Citizens' Group chase Rom & Ram with killing intent, Kine comes to their aid and shows the Citizens' Group with gusto that she is Vert's sister.
** Virtus bringing himself to his feet out of sheer HeroicWillpower to, alongside El Tornado, stabilize the connection between the worlds so they all can pursue Rei in the Superdimension.

** And then Virtus' reaction to Plutia telling him that she managed to invent the Colosseum:
--> Virtus: ''WOMAN, I LOVE YOU WITH MY MOUTH!''
** When pointing out some issues the party as a whole needs to work on to stand a chance against the Seven Sages, Virtus bluntly refers to Ultra!Noire and Ultra!Blanc as "the duo most likely to engage in destructive hatesex".
** In the finale, Red Heart fights the fake Iris Heart while White Heart and Green Heart take on the other fakes. Then the following exchange takes place:
--> Red Heart: ''I ALMOST feel guilty. Almost.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: ?
--> Red Heart: ''You couldn't possibly know this...but I spent this whole journey wanting to beat the living hell out of a sadistic friend of mine who looks exactly like you.''
--> Fake Iris Heart: !
--> Red Heart: ''Sadly for you, fate decided I would be your opponent today. Think happy thoughts, dear. An orgiastic maelstrom of violence is coming your way and it is going to HURT.''
** Directly after the above, once Red Heart finishes the fake Iris Heart off, the former has BishieSparkles as he gleefully voices how good that felt.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Virtus' long-awaited reunion with Ultra!Blanc, his blood sister.
** After being constantly called out on it by Neptune throughout the Lowee arc, Noire admits to herself how much she messed up with her friends and when they meet next, she gives them the sincerest, most heartfelt apology she could muster.
** Virtus telling the Vert, Blanc and Noire from the Ultradimension that the reason he tears into them so much is because he's seen what their Superdimension counterparts could do and sees they have the same potential for good that he doesn't want to see wasted in petty squabbles.
** Ultra!Blanc has no qualms with Virtus being in a relationship with Super!Noire and is in fact extremely supportive of their relationship.
** Virtus reuniting with Noire in the finale.
** Neptune thanking her friends for looking after Planeptune in her absence.
** Neptune outright telling Noire she missed her.
** The entire conversation between Ultra!Blanc and Super!Noire. Special mention goes to Super!Noire asking Ultra!Blanc if she wants to be friends, which Ultra!Blanc denies, but for a good reason:
--> Blanc: ''There's no way I'd be happy with calling you just a friend after everything you've done for my brother. As far as I'm concerned, you're family.''
** Virtus' WorldOfCardboard speech towards Rei:
--> Red Heart: ''So you think that just because Tari collapsed, the CPU system should not exist in the first place? Well, let me tell you something, dumbass: I failed my nation too. You know what I did? I gave everything I had to fix it. I wasn't here to see it, but the one who took charge of it was able to successfully fix it and make our nation flourish. I saw a world were CPUs cast aside their differences to make a world of peace. I saw a stubborn CPU learning that you can't brute-force our people into following us. I saw a prideful CPU learning that prosperity shouldn't come at the cost of your friendships. I saw a sophisticated CPU learn how to move on for her losses and improve from them. I saw the laziest, most inept CPU I have ever heard of rise to the occasion when it called for it and become a hero that unites the 4 nations. I saw 4 wonderful girls overcome their weaknesses and rise against a Deity of Sin. I won't say that CPUs are perfect beings. But I will praise them for their determination to do better for the world and to improve themselves? Other than throwing a pity-party and put the blame on everything else but yourself, what did YOU do!?''
** Virtus and Blanc's final goodbye as the former leaves to the Superdimension.
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Anonydeath is a KarmaHoudini. In here? Virtus makes sure he pays ''dearly'' for his crimes.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: Virtus has a ''brutal'' one after he realizes the sadistic way he killed Anonydeath.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: This is where Virtus' character arc finally comes to a close, being able to come and go between the Superdimension and the Ultradimension as he pleases, so he can visit his sister any time he wants and can stay in the Superdimension with Noire, Rom, Ram and the other Blanc.
* [[spoiler: IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Twice. Once against Peashy as Yellow Heart and once against a post-HeroicBSOD Virtus.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: The mental damage Virtus suffered during Lilac Mk.2 coupled with seeing his sister being humiliated, betrayed and suffering a political coup on national TV, the stresses of dealing with the bad blood in the party and the constant confrontations with the Seven Sages embittered Virtus' outlook on life considerably. [[spoiler: It eventually leads to something worse.]]
* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: While he [[AssholeVictim definitely deserved it for what he did to Peashy]], Anonydeath's death by Red Heart's hand is a definite case of this]].
** [[spoiler: The resulting DespairEventHorizon and HeroicBSOD are equally terrifying, especially when the party finds Virtus next.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Anonydeath's robot suit assumes the combat-oriented role mentioned earlier in the story during his final confrontation against Red Heart. [[spoiler: Losing his current suit's slim figure isn't much of a concern when he's up against a CPU that openly declared he's there to kill him.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The ever-friendly Neptune being outwardly angry at Noire's action are a clear indicator of how much the latter has screwed up.
* SeenItAll: Virtus is able to outsmart Anonydeath at many instances since he's faced his Superdimension counterpart before.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The only reason Mr.Badd's plan fails in the Lowee arc is because Virtus was able to come from the Superdimension to the Ultradimension in time to save the others.
* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune gives Ultra!Noire a powerful one following the latter's questionable actions in the Lowee arc, both in her treatment of Ultra!Blanc and Ultra!Black Heart telling Plutia to transform with the intent of making Planeptune citizens terrified of Iris Heart's sadist nature so they can flock to Lastation instead.

[[folder: The Red CPU trilogy]]
An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* AdaptationExpansion: This story brings a backstory on how the Oracles came to work with the CPUs. Kei was one of Noire' allies during her rise against Avenir. Chika is Vert's closest online gaming partner, Mina is a close friend of Financier wanting to help Blanc and care for Rom & Ram and the reformed Arfoire becomes Planeptune's oracle following the events of Re;1.
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it, but no one speaks up about it either.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Señor...Nobody is dragging me."
* GotMeDoingIt: Virtus and El Tornado are so inseparable that Virtus starts to pick up Tornado's GratuitousSpanish quirk.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* ShutUpKiss: [[spoiler: Virtus gives one to Noire after she confesses that she doesn't want him to leave as she grew too fond of him but she knows he can't leave Blanc behind.]]
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.

After falling for a trap set by MSIC, The 4 goddesses are captured by CFW Magic and held hostage by her. An attack is then launched on all 4 nations as MSIC attempts to take over the 4 nations and revive the Overlord Momus. The CPU candidates and Virtus, led by Nepgear, rise against this new threat and step forward to rescue the goddesses.

As Gamindustri enjoys its peace once again, a new group wanting the CPUs to step down is on the rise...not. A meek woman by the name of Rei Ryghts tries to garner support to her cause unsuccessfully. After many failed attempts, Rei is approached by a being similar to Histoire that offers her power to eliminate a CPU. Upon her next encounter with Neptune, Rei has a breakdown during which the power bestowed upon her is released, opening a portal that swallows Neptune and drops her in an alternate Gamindustri. As Neptune ventures this Gamindustri hoping to eventually find a way home, Virtus moves to find a way to bring her back from his end for the sake of avoiding upset within Gamindustri, unaware the dimension Neptune is in is none other than his home.

An HyperdimensionNeptunia fanfiction series divided in 3 works featuring the story of Virtus, a young man wandering the Superdimension in search for a new purpose in life. Takes place after the true ending of Re;Birth 1.
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth'''
The first entry of the trilogy. The Console Wars are no more and Arfoire's plans to conquer and later destroy Gamindustri are brought to an end thanks to Neptune's efforts in uniting the CPUs against Arfoire. As Gamindustri enjoys a new era of peace, Vert, Noire, Neptune and Blanc prepare themselves for the upcoming ceremony where they make their union official to the public. However, Neptune is recovering from her battle against Arfoire and the CPUs cannot have the ceremony until she's fully recovered. Until then, they tend to their nations and work to rebuild and fortify after the Arfoire crisis. The story begins in Lastation, where Noire hires a young man by the name of Virtus to work at the Basilicom under her alongside his robotic partner El Tornado. But there's more to Virtus than what the surface suggests...
!!'''Crimson Re;Birth contains examples of:'''
* BetaCouple: IF and Vert.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: IF wears a suit for the Peace Treaty Ceremony and boy, does she rock it.
* CharacterDevelopment: A few over the course of the story:
** Vert's character arc deals with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever painful implications of her and IF's relationship]] and it causes a rift between the two. With Virtus, Compa and Neptune's help, IF confronts Vert about it and following a heartfelt speech from IF, the two make amends and Vert resolves that while she will most certainly outlive IF, that's all the more reason for them to treasure what they have now.
** Virtus' character arc deals with him being unable to move on from his past wounds and the decision of whether or not he'll stay in the Superdimension. [[spoiler: With Noire's help, not only is he able to move on and forgive himself for his failure regarding the Virtual Boy, but he also finds a new family in Blanc, Rom & Ram and eventually enters a relationship with Noire. In the end, he decides to stay, but swears that before anything else, he will make things right with his sister.]]
* CovertPervert: Virtus ''visibly'' has a nosebleed upon seeing Noire in a maid dress.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Every single match El Tornado fights in.
** Virtus' ''brutal'' ReasonYouSuckSpeech followed by NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aimed at Anonydeath after the latter's tormenting of Noire.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Given the source material, several are to be expected:
** Nepgear and Uni fangirling over El Tornado during the TournamentArc
** This exchange after El Tornado's TemptingFate moment:
--> ''Virtus: Puta mierda, Tornado!''
--> ''El Tornado: Ay, hijo de puta!''
** When Noire puts on a maid dress, Virtus has a visible nosebleed and excuses himself from the room claiming to need "Pre-cleaning preparations". When the concerned Rom & Ram follow him, they find him praying to every legendary Pokemon and divine figure featured in Nintendo titles in gratitude for being allowed to see Noire in said attire.
** Following the above, Virtus ''suplexing'' Neptune when she's about to tell everyone about his nosebleed. Then [[BlatantLies claiming the suplex was accidental]]. No one buys it.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the second and third installments of the trilogy, ''Crimson Re;Birth'' is more of a slice of life comedy with the occasional action thrown into it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: On separate occasions, Noire, Rom & Ram pull this on Virtus. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* RedBaron: El Tornado is known as La Tempestad De La Justicia.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: When Neptune is about to spill to the other CPUs that Virtus had a nosebleed from seeing Noire as a maid, Virtus ''suplexes Neptune into unconsciousness''.
* TemptingFate: After his second win, Tornado makes a comment about how the match went on without a hitch. Cue his opponent going on a rampage that endangers the whole stadium.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Vert FINALLY gets a little sister here in the form of Kine.
* TournamentArc: The plot is kickstarted by the Lastation International Robot Fighting Tournament sponsored by the Lastation Basilicom as a means to further promote the peace between the 4 lands as well as a means to showcase Lastation's tech to the world. It is there that Noire and Virtus meet.

When Virtus entered the Superdimension, he took shelter in an abandoned factory in Lastation. In there, he comes across the remains of a robot that, while battered, is still in working condition. Activating the robot, it reveals severe malfunctions through which it is able to communicate one solitary request to Virtus: "I beg of you...let my wings fly for justice..." Compelled by his curiosity about the robot as well as his own desire to help those in need, Virtus fixes the robot, who introduces himself as El Tornado, one of Avenir's projects built to be used against the CPUs, but that turned on his creators. Grateful for his newfound life, El Tornado pleads his services to Virtus and accompanies him in his journey.
