13	->'''Role:''' Headmaster and Founder of Power Academy
14	->'''Power:''' [[PlayingWithFire Pyrokinesis]]
15
16	A soldier-turned-superhero, James Mall is the renowned headmaster of Power Academy. He's also a member of an order worshiping a mythical firehawk creature. He's been through no small amount of trouble over the years, and he has put all of his effort and money into the Academy. If it goes under, he's out on the streets.
17
18	* AbusiveParents: His father tried several times to kick him out of the house before James finally ran away, leading to him joining the military [[ReallySeventeenYearsOld at 16.]]
19	%%* TheAlcoholic
20	* BadassInDistress: Early on he ends up going missing, held captive by a [[spoiler:rogue]] Equinox cell. He's freed soon enough, though.

22	* BerserkButton: Threaten the school, the students, or Lily, and face his wrath.
23	%%* BigGood
24	* CelibateHero: Set up, but eventually subverted; for years, he remained this way until he met Lily.
25	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Don't let the laid-back, somewhat bumbling facade fool you. He ''will'' lay down the law when he has to.
26	%%* DeadpanSnarker
27	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:His giving in to Jonathan's demands, such as letting Vilhelm on the staff, in order to get the Academy built.]]
28	%%* EccentricMentor
29	* FourStarBadass: In his early days, leading an elite team of superhumans to defeat Vulcannus.
30	* GuestStarPartyMember: Shows up in a few boss fights.
31	* HiddenDepths: He has an intense amount of pressure on him; Power Academy is his life's work, and if it fails (and it is already in danger of failing), he'll have nowhere to go. It's not until he opens up to [[TeamMom Lily]] that his inner demons become apparent.
32	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
33	* KickedUpstairs: He was only hastily promoted to his general rank to be a public face for superhumans--so the authorities could say, "Hey, we like superhumans too!" Although he had the tactical know-how to back it up, he was just a general in name only.
34	* MrFanservice: The fact that he constantly goes around shirtless (or at least with his chest exposed) helps.
35	* MyGreatestFailure: He regards his failure to stop Wardson from destroying an entire city as this.
36	%%* MysticalWhiteHair
37	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:The aforementioned DealWithTheDevil, which allows him to create Power Academy so quickly, caused a dimensional flux in the Multiverse that ensnared Terminus. The Great Old One is now trapped within the heroes' universe... [[SpannerInTheWorks but now it gives them a chance to defeat her once and for all]].]]

44	%%* TeamDad: More or less.

50	!Lily Taylor
51	->'''Role:''' Nurse, Head of the Female Dorms
52	->'''Power:''' [[GreenThumb Control over plant life]]
53
54	Lily was once a superpowered teen vigilante before dedicating herself to becoming a nurse. She was also a close friend of the Ashen family; after their mother died and father disappeared, Val and Isaac were adopted by Lily. In addition to being a mother figure, she has served as a crimefighting mentor for them, training Val to manage her powers. At the Academy, in addition to [[TheMedic healing people]] and [[LivingEmotionalCrutch providing a calming influence for James]], Lily is the head of the female dorms. She has the ability to control and summon plant life to do her bidding, from healing to combat.
55
56	* AdoptivePeerParent: Following their mother's death, Val and Isaac (both 5 at the time) are adopted by Lily (22 at the time).
57	* AbusiveParents: Her mother [[IHaveNoSon hated her]] [[FantasticRacism for being a mutant,]] referring to her as "that thing" and kicking her out of the house when her powers awakened.
58	* BerserkButton: [[GaiasVengeance Threatening the environment]], or hurting/threatening [[MamaBear Val, Isaac]] or [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend James]].
59	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Soft-spoken, motherly, ladylike, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick not afraid to constrain someone with strong vines...]]
60	* ChainmailBikini: Subverted; at first, it looks like she's going to fight in her usual skimpy casual outfit, but then she summons a set of natural InstantArmor to fight in.
61	* CombatStilettos: Often seen wearing high-heeled sandals. Justified in that she usually fights at a distance, as opposed to getting up close and personal.
62	%%* CooldownHug: Loves giving these out.
63	* CripplingOverspecialization: In a fight, she's devastating at long range...but not so effective in a melee fight. She makes up for this with her healing skills though.
64	%%* GreenThumb
65	%%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Off the job, anyway.
66	* HospitalHottie: Lampshaded by a couple of generic students, who jokingly mention that getting to see her makes a trip to her office worth it.
67	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Downplayed; she wears just enough to be comfortable, but it's often quite revealing. She can instantly create new clothes for herself anyway (see below).
68	* InstantArmor: Although her casual outfits are very revealing, in combat she opts for a full-covering suit of natural armor (very dense layers of leaves, bark, and other materials), roughly as tough as leather armor. Even so, it's not meant for getting up close and personal, given her fighting style.
69	%%* LadyOfWar
70	%%* TheLancer: To James, alongside Harken.
71	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For James. [[spoiler:Makes sense in hindsight once his DealWithTheDevil is revealed.]]
72	* MagicStaff: An old, worn wooden staff that serves as the conduit for her powers.
73	%%* TheMedic
74	%%* TheMentor: For Val.
75	* MsFanservice: She's nearly always half-naked in her various nature- or floral-themed outfits, many of which show off her ample chest, hips and legs.
76	* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Gets a lot of comparisons in-universe to [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Poison Ivy]], much to her chagrin.
77	%%* SecondLove: For James.
78	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: A big part of her attraction to James, aside from the pretty white hair, is his virtues.
79	%%* SquishyWizard
80	%%* StatuesqueStunner
81	%%* TeamMom

88	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's among one of the crazier staff members--and still manages to help the students with their psychological issues.
89	* CloudCuckooLander: He believes himself to be a boy from Neverland. Nevertheless, between him and Harken, he appears to be the more sane of the two.
90	* {{Determinator}}: In the past, he was gravely wounded by an assassin and left for dead. However, his love for Harken helped him hold on long enough to signal for help and return home. He relates this anecdote to Selene, who is [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove struggling with her unfamiliar feelings for Timmy;]] he explains that love can be a source of strength.

106	->'''Power:''' [[PowerCopying Elemental absorption]], time manipulation (passive)
107	->'''Role:''' Teacher, History and the Multiverse
108
109	For all he knows, he has always existed. But at one point or another, Tripp was bound to a mystical time gauntlet and charged with being the guardian of time. He serves as the school's History teacher, which naturally involves brief trips into alternate timelines.
110
111	* AmbiguousGender: Though appears and referred to as male for convenience.
112	* AmplifierArtifact: The stabilizer gauntlet.
113	%%* BadassBookworm
114	* BigDamnHeroes: In spite of the aforementioned non-interference, he promises his students he will save them from an absolutely hopeless situation, but only once for each. He eventually makes good on this promise. [[spoiler:Subject Zero confronts Terminus and fights her for the first time...and finds her/himself way in over her/his head. As Terminus is about to kill her/him, Tripp intervenes and saves the PC.]]
115	* BigGood: Although James is this for the Academy, Tripp can be considered this for the space-time continuum, especially considering some of the enemies they face.
116	%%* BlueAndOrangeMorality
117	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He talks about time paradoxes as part of the natural course of events for the space-time continuum...but clearly, the universe hasn't been destroyed yet, so he's doing something right.
118	* DemBones: Appears as an ethereal, bright blue skeleton-like being attached to a powered gauntlet.
119	* DitzyGenius: Incredibly intelligent, but clueless about simple, mundane things.
120	* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: He plays a large part in the tutorial, even explaining the controls to the player. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight The other characters brush this off as Tripp just being]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer Tripp.]]
121	%%* PowerCopying
122	* SoulJar: He is bound to a powerful pair of gauntlets; it is only when he is in this form and bound to a "catalyst" (host) that he can use his time manipulation powers.
123	* TimeAbyss: As far as he can tell, he has always existed.
124	%%* TimeTravel

130	->'''Role:''' Teacher, Moral Dilemma 101
131	->'''Power:''' [[TeleportersAndTransporters Teleportation]]
132
133	Harken is ostensibly the Moral Dilemma 101 teacher, but with every iteration of the class, the subject changes each time, [[SinkOrSwimMentor forcing the students to think on their feet]]. He has served as a mentor for James, and despite being legally insane, he is one of the most intelligent members of the staff. Harken has the ability to teleport anywhere, an ability he often uses to surprise people (especially his students). Married to Magi.
134
135	%%* FourStarBadass: Revealed to have been one in the past.
136	%%* GeniusSweetTooth
137	* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:While they were still involved in the military, James was sent by the government to hunt down and kill Harken, who had gone rogue. However, it turns out he had defected because he learned too many secrets, asking the wrong questions and provoking the wrong people.]]
138	* InsaneTrollLogic: His moral dilemmas; a simple question is given, with no context given beforehand. Example: Burn it or drown it? (Answer: [[spoiler:Burn it and then drown it. The target is a zombie; burning the zombie burns down the building you're protecting from the zombie apocalypse, drowning it doesn't kill it fully, and burning it and drowning it is the only way to ensure it's dead.]])
139	%%* InsatiableNewlyweds: With Magi.
140	* KaleidoscopeEyes: His eyes are constantly changing color, though they are usually obscured by his bangs.
141	%%* LargeHam
142	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Reveals himself to be Timmy's actual father, having hidden the truth from him.]]
143	%%* MadScientist
144	* ShipperOnDeck: With Magi. In preparation for Valentine's Day, the two even start assembling a collage photo album of every couple in the school sharing a tender kiss.
145	* SinkOrSwimMentor: His class is completely random, often requiring the students to think on their feet in order to pass. Naturally, it's optional. Or is it?
146	%%* StraightGay
147	* TeleportersAndTransporters: Has the ability to teleport.
148	* {{Troll}}: Gets a kick out of messing with students' heads.
149	* WhenIsPurple: Often speaks in a cryptic manner--usually to confuse the hell out of his students.

However, one day she stumbled across evidence of large-scale plans being made by Equinox--[[SheKnowsTooMuch which made her a target]].

203	* LittleBlackDress: Her casual outfit is a tight black [[HellBentForLeather leather]] minidress, with matching [[CombatStilettos heels]].
204	* LoveIsAWeakness: Believes so; due to the detachment from people she's built up from all the killing over the years, she grows increasingly fearful of her growing, unfamiliar feelings for Timmy. However, [[CharacterDevelopment she learns to see it as a source of inner strength.]]
205	%%* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Between Timmy and her, she tends to be the more dominant one.

Despite what her [[GeniusDitz ditzy behavior]] and [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny general attention span]] may suggest, Victoria is a witch beyond her years.
337
338	She shows up in Kragsmark as the quest giver and main ally for a sidequest chain involving the Shadow Court, and eventually joins the Academy as a teacher (with Arielle taking her under her wing).

342	* BewareTheNiceOnes: If the people she cares about are put in danger, expect her to unleash hell.

344	* CloudCuckooLander: At one point, she spends a moment trying to track down eye floaters, not unlike [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Osaka]].
345	%%* CuteClumsyGirl
346	%%* CuteWitch: She has plenty of adorable moments.
347	* DamselOutOfDistress: Gets kidnapped a couple of times, much to her chagrin; she even starts training harder to avoid damsel status. [[spoiler:When the Shadow Court comes after her, they intend to use her as a new host for the Shadow Daemon Lord.]]
348	* DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler:While temporarily possessed during the penultimate Shadow Court mission.]]
349	* GamerChick: Justified, as she was constantly isolated from other people in her childhood and had to keep herself entertained somehow.
350	* GeniusDitz: ''Very'' clumsy and ditzy--but unbeatable when it comes to magic.
351	* GrewASpine: Over the course of the game, she goes from painfully shy to an assertive badass.
352	%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
353	%%* InnocentBlueEyes
354	%%* InstantRunes: Used for her spells.
355	* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Light to Arielle's Dark.

357	* MerlinAndNimue: A variant involving two women and a much smaller age gap, with Victoria as the Nimue to Arielle's Merlin.
358	* {{Moe}}: In-universe. Arielle describes her as being "adorable" and feels a need to protect her.
359	* MoeCouplet: With Arielle. Despite her mentor's snarkiness, the two have a very close and intimate bond, and bring out the best qualities in each other. During the school dance, they are seen slow-dancing together.
360	* PrincessClassic: Her appearance invokes a very princess-like motif, right down to [[Literature/ArabianNights her surname]].
361	%%* SecurityCling: Often does this with Arielle.
362	* ShrinkingViolet: Though Arielle (despite her harsh snarkiness) gently tries to get her to come out of her shell, and she starts making progress.

370	->'''Power:''' None, but has various cybernetic enhancements, including [[SwissArmyAppendage various weapons built into his bionic arm]]
371	->'''Subject:''' Self-Defense class
372
373	A longtime adversary of David Archer, Alexei is the head of the covert Equinox organization. He and his followers are determined to eliminate corruption and bring peace, order, and a new golden age to the world. ''[[KnightTemplar Their]]'' [[KnightTemplar golden age. At any cost.]] At the Academy, Alexei is the Self-Defense class teacher, in the vein of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Defense Against the Dark Arts]]. He has no superpowers per se, but is cybernetically augmented with SuperStrength and has a [[SwissArmyAppendage bionic arm with various weapons and gadgets built into his arm.]] Subject Zero and her/his allies find themselves, depending on the occasion, at odds with him or working alongside him.
374
375	* AffablyEvil: Especially compared to the other villains. His subordinates are shown to, if not like, at least respect him. [[spoiler:He can even join forces with the heroes down the line.]]
376	* AnArmAndALeg: Lost his right arm in the past. Later on, he has his legs replaced with cybernetics below the knee to improve his endurance.
377	* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:If he is spared after his boss fight but not convinced to join forces with the heroes, Alexei later goes after Vilhelm's forces with a detachment of soldiers. He ends up being the sole survivor, and is captured and turned into an elite cyborg minion.]]
378	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Par for the course for Vilhelm.]]
379	%%* AntiVillain: Type III, being a KnightTemplar.
380	* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:To Dahlia.]]
381	* ArtificialLimbs: His bionic arm (and later, his legs).
382	%%* BenevolentBoss
383	* BondVillainStupidity: Pushes himself to avert this trope as much as possible; [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim killing enemies rather than spare them, for instance.]]
384	* CassandraTruth: He's one of the first to learn the truth about Terminus, but nobody believes him. So, he decides, he'll ''make'' people listen.
385	%%* {{Cyborg}}
386	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He has multiple [[GodzillaThreshold last-resort backup plans]] for conquering the world, such as [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill using mind-control technology]] to subjugate humanity and establish utopia. However, he has deemed such methods too cruel for him--or anyone--to use. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters For now, anyway.]]
387	* FlunkyBoss: Being a tactical genius, Alexei doesn't take any chances in his boss fight and summons waves of [[EliteMook his elite guard]] to fight alongside him.
388	%%* GeniusBruiser
389	* GiveHerANormalLife: [[spoiler:He left the infant Dahlia in the care of a CEO he was friendly with, to distance her from his dangerous life.]]

391	%%* HeWhoFightsMonsters
392	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Can be convinced in the game to join forces with the heroes.]]
393	* IcyBlueEyes: The same color as [[spoiler:Dahlia]]'s, [[{{Foreshadowing}} notably.]]
394	* InASingleBound: Can jump high distances (and land perfectly) thanks to his cybernetic legs.
395	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:It is revealed much later in the story that, deep down, he believes himself to have crossed the moral event horizon long ago. He genuinely believes that, if he does succeed in achieving utopia, there would be [[NoPlaceForMeThere no place for him there]].]]
396	* KillerGameMaster: He very rarely goes easy on his students.
397	* KnightOfCerebus: The game starts out fairly lighthearted. The arc where he takes over the Academy is where the storyline takes a turn for the more serious.
398	* LargeAndInCharge: He's at least a head taller than most other characters (with only [[StatuesqueStunner Alice]] matching his height), likely due in part to his replacement legs, and he's in charge of Equinox.
399	* LiteralChangeOfHeart: Has a powerful mechanical heart, courtesy of Vilhelm, to replace his old one when he was mortally wounded in a mission years ago. [[spoiler:It can trigger a massive self-destruct explosion in the worst case scenario.]]
400	* MercyKill: [[spoiler:When the party encounters him in the elite cyborg state, they are forced to fight him to the death. If Dahlia is in the party, she is always the one to deliver the killing blow after the fight.]]
401	* TheMourningAfter: [[spoiler:Years after the death of his wife and elder daughter, he still can't move on.]]
402	%%* NotSoStoic
403	* PrettyBoy: Not in the present, but in flashbacks, he is shown to have been one in the past. His features have coarsened greatly over the years.
404	* PurpleProse: He ''loves'' to hear himself speechify.
405	* ShirtlessScene: Has one for [[WalkingShirtlessScene the entirety of the battle for Hell]], where the evil Helena has ripped up his torso armor. He reasons that, considering the armor damage left him exposed (not to mention [[ExtraOreDinary Helena's abilities]]), he's just as vulnerable with or without it. His muscles, cybernetics and [[LiteralChangeOfHeart mechanical heart]] are on full display.
406	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: In one of his speeches, he views the traditional superhero's [[ThouShaltNotKill no-killing rule]] as old-fashioned at best and a detrimental self-handicap at worst.
407	* TheStrategist: To the point where, during an in-game fight, he and his allies gain an increased chance for critical hits.
408	* SuperStrength: Thanks to his cybernetic augmentation; far from being on the same level as naturally-gifted people like Alice, though.
409	%%* SwissArmyAppendage
410	* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:During the battle for Hell, if he's still alive at that point, one choice the party makes during that mission is whether to save Alexei or his men. If they choose the latter, Alexei charges into a horde of Helena's minions, activating his heart's self-destruct function in one last blaze of glory.]]
411	* TautologicalTemplar: In his worst moments. Alexei believes himself to be utterly benevolent, justifying all of his actions as being ForTheGreaterGood. So obviously, anyone who opposes him or his organization is misguided or evil, [[TemptingFate right?]] [[spoiler:At least, this is how he outwardly appears.]]
412	* TyrantTakesTheHelm: When James goes missing, Alexei takes over as Headmaster (even though Lily and Magi were next in line for succession).
413	* VisionaryVillain: His subordinates hold him up as this.
414	%%* WeCanRebuildHim
415	%%* WeCanRuleTogether: Makes this offer to James.
416	* WickedCultured: Often quotes from Tennyson and Hobbes. [[spoiler:If he dies, he quotes Literature/MobyDick ("To the last, I grapple with thee...") to his last breath.]]
417	* WorthyOpponent: Considers James a worthy foe and a potential ally, even though he could never share Alexei's worldview.
