5!!Jin Kazaragi
6
7%%* AllLovingHero
8%%* TheAtoner: Holds quite a heavy burden for being involved in the Lotus Flower Incident.
9%%* BadassInANiceSuit: When he's invited by Asura to come to her mansion.
10%%* BadassAndChildDuo: Him and Mika, respectively.
11%%* BadassLongcoat: Wore a black and tattered one during the first arcs.
12* BadassPacifist: Most of the time, he doesn't want to fight, and prefers to resolve things without violence. It doesn't always work, though.
13* BarbarianLongHair: For all it's badassery, he has the hair to pull it off without being {{bishonen}}. He later gets a haircut by Enki.
14%%* BerserkButton: [[{{Foreshadowing}} Jin is not fond of the term]] [[{{Phlebotinum Rebel}} "experiment".]]
15%%* BigBrotherWorship: During his childhood, he adored Ray.
16%%* BreakTheCutie
17%%* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ray's Cain.
18%%* CharacterDevelopment: Matures quite considerably during the series.
19%%* CombinationAttack: With Enki.
20%%* CooldownHug: He gives a LOT of people these.
21%%* FriendToAllChildren: As Mika can attest.
22%%* TheBigGuy: Jin is physically the strongest in his group.
23* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: Jin is apparently responsible for the Lotus Flower incident, the worst Altered terrorist attack in history and the reason why Area D exists. When confronted about it, he says that it's because of his existence that it happened.]]
24%%* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: When he copies Asura's Greek Tragedy unconsciously, this is the result.
25%%* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Becomes one to Mika, apparently.
26%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
27%%* MessianicArchetype: Evolves into one during the series, contrasting nicely with [[DarkMessiah his brother]].

29%%* NiceGuy
30* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't notice that Enki is head-over-heels for him.
31* PhlebotinumRebel: Jin was kidnapped at a young age and altered due to his abilities as one of the first Altered.
32* PowerCopying: His ability. It has some drawbacks, like him being only able to copy/store one ability at a time, even though he can choose which one he keeps. He also needs to touch the target's skin to copy their abilities, so he's useless when they're heavily clothed or he somehow can't touch them.
33** InstantExpert / AwesomenessByAnalysis: He's able to use a copied skill near perfectly, even when he's just acquired it, and able to break down abilities used by others by trial-and-error.
34%%* SayMyName: RAAAAAYYYY!!!
35* SadisticChoice: What the Ubersmench Union forces him into after kidnapping Satoru and Mika: Either kill the 3 Leaders, or have Mika and Satoru killed.
36%%* ShipTease: With Enki.
37%%* TheStoic: Most of the time. However...
38%%** NotSoStoic: There are times when he breaks.
39%%* WalkingShirtlessScene
40* WhenHeSmiles: Normally frowns or mantains a poker face, so when he smiles, it's warm. Satoru even comments on it, saying it's rare to see him smile.
41
42!!Satoru Ida
43
44%%* CharacterDevelopment: Becomes more confident during the course of the series.
45%%* CowardlyLion: He's very afraid of fights, but when the chips are down...
46%%* DistressedDude: After being captured by the Ubermensch Union.
47* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: [[spoiler:It is later revealed to affect "anything", including humans. Not only that, but the effect of the ability seems to be almost instant, even on large targets.]]
48* PowerIncontinence: Satoru's ability is actually ''incredibly'' powerful, he just subconsciously sealed most of it away after [[spoiler: accidentally killing his mom]].
49%%* TheSmartGuy: His ability even reflects this, not being really violent, but being applicable in many situations.
50%%* TookALevelInBadass: He takes many during the story, but most notably after the 6-months timeskip.
51* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: His ability, Watchmaker, allows him to unmake anything he touches, but apparently only certain mechanical and metal objects.
52
53!!Kaito Yuuki
54
55* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward most young girls, but specially towards Mariko, [[spoiler: because his little sister died protecting him from Zero]].
56* CharacterDevelopment: He becomes more affable and comes to care about his companions during the series.
57* CurbstompBattle: On the receiving end by [[spoiler: Zero]]. Twice.
58* HumanPincushion: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Zero, with knives. He lives, thanks to Soga.]]
59* HyperspaceArsenal: [[spoiler:Kaito's ability, "Deserted House."]]
60* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Loaded his HyperspaceArsenal full of contraband weaponry and went to Area D to find and kill his little sister's murderer, Zero.]]

63%%* ScarfOfAsskicking
64%%* TheLancer
65%%* WalkingShirtlessScene

68
69%%* TheGadfly: Especially toward Enki.
70%%* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She's affiliated with Jiga, as well as the main characters.
71* MsFanservice: Mainly thanks to leaving her clothes behind whenever she uses her powers.
72%%* RedBaron: Shadow Play Rio.
73* PaperPeople: According to Rio, her ability, Shadow Play, turns her into this. It allows her to turn into a two-dimensional shadow that can travel along the surface of any object.
74* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Doesn't care the slightest bit about popping out of walls completely naked.
75%%* TheTease
76
77!!Mika Shindou
78
79%%* DamselInDistress: After being captured by the Ubermensch Union.
80* HimeCut: She's an aversion because while she has the picture perfect style (even bangs, sidelocks and long hair) she doesn't have the associated personality traits or roles.

82%%* PowerOfTheVoid
83%%* RavenHairIvorySkin
84%%* SpaceMaster

89* BackAlleyDoctor: Unlike usual examples, he's competent enough, and virtually everyone in the series knows him.
90%%* BerserkButton: Hurting children in front of him.
91* BodyHorror: A positive example, as his ability, Operation Start, can manifest medical tools from his limbs.
92%%* BigEater
93%%* CoolOldGuy
94* HealingHands: His ability, more or less. It's not exactly his hands that heal, but rather, the medical tools that he manifests in his arms.
95* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Failing to save his daughter from death, which lead to him reviving her.]]
96%%* PermaStubble
97%%* TrueNeutral: Most of the factions know and respect him for his stand.
98%%* NeutralNoLonger: The more he spends time with the group.
99%%* TheMedic

101!!Mariko
102
103* BackFromTheDead: Died and was resurrected by an Altered, who also gave her powers. [[spoiler: It was Soga, her father]].
104* CharacterDevelopment: She's entirely submissive and devoid of feelings at first, but becomes more "alive" as the story goes.
105%%* EmotionlessGirl: Starts like this.
106%%* FeelNoPain
107%%* LittleMissBadass
108%%* MadeOfIron
109%%* RavenHairIvorySkin

136%%* BloodKnight
137* ChameleonCamouflage: He becomes almost invisible when staying against material he has mimicked.
138* FullFrontalAssault: His power doesn't work on his clothes, so in order to stay stealthy...
139* SuperStrength: His strength level depends on what material he has mimicked the properties of.
140* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After apparently losing to Jin off-screen inside a burning building, his body was nowhere to be found, at least by Kidou's subordinates, and he disappears from the story.]]
141%%* WorthyOpponent: To Jin.
142
143!!Isobe Shun
144
145* GravityMaster: He can alter the weight of things around him.
146* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Isobe is introduced as an Altered who wants to kill Jin because Jin is ''apparently'' responsible for the Lotus Flower incident, the terrorist attack that gave the anti-Altered movement the momentum it needed to start Area D, in which Isobe's beloved older sister was killed. However, after Jin saves his life, he comes to realize that despite how Jin blames himself for the Lotus Flower incident, he realizes what the readers do: Jin is not the kind of person who would do such a thing, and his wording of "The Lotus Flower incident happened because of me," most likely means that he was simply pivotal to the incident, but not willingly, and later becomes one of his most loyal friends.]]

210%%* GracefulLoser
211%%* LargeAndInCharge: The largest Leader, and arguably the most powerful.

224%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: His power.
225%%** {{Animorphism}}
