14->Voiced by: Creator/MamoruMiyano
15-----
16
17* AgentPeacock: He sports some massive BlingOfWar, fights in a feminine HumongousMecha, and is an overall campy LargeHam. His official title is even "Ginga {{Bishonen}}"[[note]] Galactic Pretty Boy when translated word for word.[[/note]], but he can kick ass in a spectacular way.
18* AlliterativeName: '''T'''akuto '''T'''sunashi.
19* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: The blonde part of hair he gets when apprivoised is supposed to evoke the shape (and color) of a star, going together with his SymbolMotifClothing and being based on the Little Prince.
20* AttackDrone: Tauburn has a few of them, though in this case they're named 'Piles'.
21* BadassLongcoat: While piloting the Tauburn.
22* BlingOfWar: Pilots the Tauburn in what amounts to a pimped-out military dress uniform.
23* CampStraight: Very, '''very''' camp to the point where he's actually MistakenForGay.
24* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:His entire purpose for turning up on Southern Cross Isle.]]
25* CatchPhrase: "When what you want to do and what you ought to do are the same thing, you can hear the voice of the world," and "It's a _____!" (usually "It's a pinch!," but other variants pop up occasionally). Both seem to have been inherited from his friend Natsuo.
26* ChickMagnet: Damn near everyone on the island wants him. Including the villains.
27%%* TheChosenOne
28* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Generally comes across as a [[IdiotHero clueless, impulsive idiot]]... unless he gets into a fight, in which case the FABULOUSNESS of the ensuing beatdown will in no way make it any less painful.
29* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair, red eyes.
30* DanceBattler: When piloting the Tauburn, even incorporating ''pirouettes'' into his combat repertoire.
31* DisappearedDad: His reason for coming to the island. [[spoiler:[[CallingTheOldManOut To more or less give him a good, solid punch to the face.]] And Lord love him, that's exactly what he does in Episode 23.]]
32* DualWielding: Wields the Star Swords Emeraude and Saphir.
33* {{Expy}}: [[WordOfGod Character designer comments]] in the official guidebook reveal that he's supposed to be "Literature/TheLittlePrince, only more cheerful", which explains why he gets to wear BlingOfWar and a blonde streak of hair while fighting.
34* FamilyEyeResemblance: Unlike the other characters, he has an additional ring around his irises for some reason. Only his grandfather [[spoiler:and father]] share this trait.
35* GenerationXerox: We finally see his grandpa in episode 16, and physically, they're pretty much dead ringers of each other. [[spoiler: Ironically he and his dad, Tokio Tsunashi, look ''less'' alike than Takuto and his granddad.]]
36* [[GoodScarsEvilScars Good Scars]][=/=]XMarksTheHero: Has an X-shaped scar on his chest, which happens to look like his mark, the Phoenician letter "[[http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/9620/1286209034282.jpg taw]]".
37%%* HenshinHero
38%%* TheHero
39%%* HeroicBastard
40* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: The argument Takuto and Sugata had prior to their battle revealed that Takuto may have some issues BeneathTheMask.]]
41%%* HotBlooded
42* IdiotHero: Subverted. Takuto is heavily hinted to be smarter than he normally comes across. He has hidden depths combined with moments of perceptiveness
43* IOweYouMyLife: Towards Wako.
44%%* LargeHam
45* LoveAtFirstSight: Implied with Wako.
46* MistakenForGay: When she first meets him, Kanako thinks that he has fallen for Sugata.
47%%* NaiveNewcomer
48%%* NewTransferStudent
49* NiceGuy: Almost ridiculously so.
50* ObfuscatingStupidity: It's hinted at several times that Takuto knows ''quite a bit'' more about what's going on than he lets on.
51* ObliviousToLove: Wako is just about the only girl he knows likes him, and that's only because the feeling is mutual on his part.
52* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Tends to wig out at even the slightest suggestion of sexual behavior.
53* ParentalAbandonment: He never met his father and his mother left him at his grandfather's house and never saw him again.
54* PrettyFreeloader: At Sugata's house in ep 18.
55* RaisedByGrandparents: His mother disappeared for unknown reasons shortly after his birth, while his father [[spoiler:is Head, who never cared about him to begin with]].
56* RedOniBlueOni: Towards both Sugata's and Head's Blue Oni. In the case of the latter, it's also underlined by their Cybodies, which were designed as a pair with this motif in mind.
57%%* RedIsHeroic
58%%* ShonenHair
59* ShowyInvincibleHero: The show doesn't even try to deny this
60* SymbolMotifClothing: Stars are everywhere.
61* ThouShaltNotKill: Due to his idealistic nature, but it can cause trouble for him to fight with the likes of Madoka.
62* UnwantedHarem: Though he's more or less [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]] to it.
63* WillfullyWeak: He only unleashes his NewPowersAsThePlotDemands when he's really on the ropes. Some of his commentary during those moments are indicative that he could do them all along.
64
65!'''Wako Agemaki'''
66[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/star_driver_kagayaki_no_takuto___01___large_37.jpg]]
67Heroine of the series. A member of the school drama club, "Midnight Flight." She is the South Maiden, who can unlock the seal of Southern Cross Island. She is pursued by the Holy Order of the Glittering Crux.
68
69->Voiced by: Creator/SaoriHayami
70-----
71
72* ArrangedMarriage: With Sugata.
73** PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: They get along very well, they go out or spend time together very often too.
74* BarrierMaiden: Keeps the Cybodies from getting off the island so long as her seal isn't broken.
75* BewareTheNiceOnes: Even the sweet-natured South Maiden has her limits sometimes. It's advisable not to cross them. [[spoiler:Madoka Kei found this out the hard way when she [[GrandTheftMe briefly stole Takuto's body]]]]. [[spoiler:She also puts up a pretty good fight against Head when she gets in her Cybody in Episode 25.]]
76* BigEater: Gets hungry easily and is almost never seen to turn down food or a chance at a meal. The rare instance where she says she doesn't want anything to eat indicate a troubled state of mind.
77* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Wako is devastated when Sugata uses his King's Cybody to rescue her, putting himself in a coma in the process. Thankfully, they both recover.]]
78* ChildhoodFriends: with Sugata and Keito.
79* CovertPervert: Or, considering both Jaguar and Sarina knew ''[[YaoiFangirl exactly]]'' what she was fantasizing about, not ''quite'' so covert.
80%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
81%%* TheCutie
82* DistressedDamsel: On a very few occasions. Being kidnapped by Filament members in the first episode is basically what sets the plot in motion.
83%%* GirlNextDoor
84%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
85* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Denies that there are any "sparks" between Takuto and her, but EveryoneCanSeeIt.
86* LoveAtFirstNote: Sugata says that she can inspire this on whoever hears her sing.
87* LoveAtFirstSight: Implied with Takuto, in spite of hints that she may [[LoveTriangle also have strong feelings for Sugata.]]
88** LoveHurts: [[spoiler:Episode 25 lampshades this, as she bittersweetly wishes she never met Takuto, as she endures the pain of deeply loving both of them.]]
89* MacGuffinSuperPerson: The antagonists constantly try to capture Wako in order to break her South Maiden seal so they can upgrade their Cybodies.
90%%* MeetCute
91* NiceGirl: Wako is one of the kindest members of the cast, always putting others' well-being ahead of her own.
92* TheNoseKnows: She is able to detect the location of somebody by their smell.
93* {{Protectorate}}: To Takuto and Sugata.
94%%* RaisedByGrandparents
95* RunningGag:
96** Whenever a stomach growl is heard, it's typically coming from Wako.
97** Whenever something involving Takuto and Sugata could be interpreted sexually in any way, [[YaoiFangirl she imagines it]].
98* SilkHidingSteel: [[spoiler: Literally so once she is gifted a knife for self-defense.]]
99%%* TaremeEyes
100* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: TheMovie shows that she's become a "Galactic Pretty Boy" post-series and is quite sufficient at being so.]]
101* TragicDream: [[spoiler: Wako's dream to become a singer in Tokyo. As a Maiden she cannot leave the island unless her seal is broken, and she will not let that happen since it would also unleash the Cybodies on the rest of the world. At the end of episode 4,]] [[spoiler:Takuto vows to destroy all of the Cybodies to give Wako the chance to fulfill her dream.]]
102* YaoiFangirl: Has some... ''interesting'' fantasies about Takuto and Sugata.
103
104!'''Sugata Shindō'''
105[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5459.jpg]]
106A member of Midnight Flight club along with Wako. He is engaged to Wako, but doesn't seem to mind that Wako takes an interest in Takuto.
107
108->Voiced by: Creator/JunFukuyama
109-----
110%%* AlliterativeName
111* AgeAppropriateAngst: Keep in mind that he's a first-year high school student. And that he's fighting against an evil organization that wants to use the islands secrets for some sort of dastardly scheme. And that he can't leave the island under penalty of death. And that [[spoiler:whenever he falls into a deep slumber, Keito has to do something involving getting naked to wake him up.]]
112* AmbiguouslyBi: He does love and care for Wako, but his professed "curiosity" about Takuto and his gay subtext-dripping conversations with [[spoiler:Head]] are signs that are too big to ignore...
113* ArrangedMarriage: With Wako.
114** PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: They get along very well, they go out or spend time together very often too.
115* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: To Takuto's red, quite obviously.
116* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Initially came back as a Type I SoullessShell until Benio used her First Stage (and Takuto delivering a slap in an attempt to wake Sugata up).]]
117* ChildhoodFriends: With Wako and Keito.
118** [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Benio and Tiger]] could count too.
119%%* ChickMagnet
120* DeadpanSnarker: Nonchalantly asking if Takuto had his first kiss and saying "he'll do her" in the drama club meeting when Takuto declared he would confront the mysterious girl Hina (aka [[spoiler:Okamoto-sensei]]).
121* DrivenToSuicide: Wako confides to Takuto that Sugata carries a knife everywhere with him, implying she fears he may be suicidal due to the heavy burdens and restrictions he's under. [[spoiler:When Takuto confronts him about in in episode 8, Sugata informs him that he carries the knife to better protect Wako.]]
122%%* TheEeyore: In episodes 6 and 8.
123* FaceHeelTurn:
124** Subverted. [[spoiler:At the end of episode 7, it seemed like this would be the case, but he was completely unaffected by Benio's first phase and only fought Takuto because he was ''pissed off''.]]
125** [[spoiler: He became the Crux's Emperor in episode 23... but subverts the trope again; he only did it to get to Samekh so he could seal it for good.]]
126* HeroicSacrifice:
127** Subverted. [[spoiler:It seemed like this would be the case in Episode 6, since nobody has ever awakened after using the King's Pillar as well as Takuto's words at the end, but in Episode 7, we see that he's NotQuiteDead.]]
128** [[spoiler: Attempted again in the final episode, but averted yet again thanks to Takuto.]]
129* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy:
130** Since he doesn't seem to mind the fact that there's something going on between Takuto and Wako. He will also willingly lay down his life for her, [[spoiler:going so far as carrying a knife everywhere he goes to protect her.]]
131** [[spoiler:All long he planned to have Samekh sealed--thus, sacrificing himself in the process--and for someone to protect Wako while he's gone.]]
132%%* TheMentor: To Takuto.
133* NavelDeepNeckline: His [[spoiler:Emperor]] outfit has a V-neckline that shows off his abs and goes down to where his pubes would be.
134* NiceGuy: It's quite hard to piss Sugata off. [[spoiler:When it happens, though... [[NightmareFuel RUN]].]]
135* ParentalAbandonment: We have a mention of his father being the cause of his birthday-hating issues, but we never see him and the only people living in his mansion are Tiger, Jaguar and himself.
136* RebelLeader: Even if he's not the head of the Midnight Flight club himself, everyone on the island seems to consider him head of the local resistance movement.
137* RefusalOfTheCall: Capable of piloting the most powerful Cybody in the series, but refuses to do so due to Wako's adamant objection. [[spoiler: Episode 6 reveals that every previous inheritor of Samekh's mark who has used its First Phase, the King's Pillar, fell into a coma from which they never awakened, explaining why Wako demands that he never apprivoise. Sugata himself does not seem to feel as strongly about the risk, and ends up using the King's Pillar in the same episode to save Wako's life.]]
138* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:His complete disregard for Benio after she used her First Phase on him shows that he's incapable of loving anyone... except Wako.]]
139* SupportingLeader: As Enokido puts it, "he'd be the main character of this world if Takuto hadn't come to Southern Cross Island", being the heir to a prominent family and is bonded with the strongest Cybody. He spends time training with Takuto to help the latter become stronger and after some initial frictions, has a lot of faith in Takuto's ability.
140* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:He was a massive dick in episode 8, though [[AgeAppropriateAngst probably for good reason]]. It didn't last.]]
141%%* {{Tsurime Eyes}}
142[[/folder]]
143
144[[folder:The Order of Glittering Crux]]
145All or most of them provide examples of:
146-----
147* AffablyEvil: Most of it's members don't really seem like bad guys outside of work, and sometimes even during work.
148* AnimeHair: Nearly all of them naturally have this.
149* BunnyEarsLawyer: With the exception of Keito, all of the department heads are... eccentric, to say the least. However, they all seem to be extremely competent when it comes to the work done by the Glittering Crux. Except when trying to defeat the [[ShowyInvincibleHero Galactic Pretty Boy]], at least.
150* CoolMask: Hell, they enable them to pilot ''HumongousMecha''.
151* FashionableAsymmetry: The only consistency in their outfits, aside from the masks, is that each section's uniforms have collars that coincide with playing cards (Spades for Vanishing Age, Hearts for Bouganville, Clubs for Filament, Diamonds for Adult Bank, and Joker for the Science Division.)
152* LargeHam: "KIRABOSHI!"
153* MildlyMilitary: Just as bad at coordination and discipline between as well as within factions as one would expect from an organisation run primarily by libidinous schoolkids (not that the adults are much better, mind).
154* NecessarilyEvil: In their eyes.
155* SlasherSmile[=/=]PsychoticSmirk: Being able to pull off a good one of these is practically a Crux entry requirement.
156* SmugSnake: At least before they actually ''fight'' Takuto. The sole exception is the ever CrazyPrepared Kanako Watanabe/President.
157* ThemeNaming: Each section is a reference to a planet that the titular prince from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Literature/TheLittlePrince visits.
158* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:All of them to Head.]]
159
160!'''Head ([[spoiler:Reiji Miyabi, originally Tokio Tsunashi]])'''
161Leader of the Vanishing Age section, Head acts as the [[IncrediblyLamePun head]] of the Glittering Crux while waiting for someone to defeat Takuto and Tauburn to take leadership. [[spoiler:Eventually he runs a coup and takes over the Crux himself with support from his branch.]] He pilots the Cybody Reshbal & [[spoiler: later, the Cybody Sinpathy]] and wields the Star Sword Diamant & [[spoiler: Turquoise.]]
162
163->Voiced by: Creator/AkiraIshida
164-----
165
166* ArchnemesisDad: He's this for [[spoiler:Takuto.]]
167* AttackDrone: His [[spoiler:first]] Cybody Reshbal comes with Piles that look and work almost identical to Tauburn's. [[spoiler:His second one, Synpathy, has them too, and they enable him to take control of any other Cybody.]]
168%%* Bastard Boyfriend
169* BigBad: He leads the Brigade in his plan to awaken and control the Cybodies so he can use them to [[spoiler:[[OmnicidalManiac destroy the world]]]].
170* CampyCombat: A bisexual man with purple hair and a strong libido. He pilots the Cybody Reshbal, which takes the likelihood of a Renaissance gentleman complete with a pink plume.
171%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
172* DepravedBisexual: Head, being the ManipulativeBastard he is, makes sex his number one tool of getting people to do what he wants them to. Men and women of any age can become his prey, and at one point, he even hits on Sarina [[spoiler:who just minutes before had been revealed to be an ''alien'', so someone being of a different [[ExtremeOmnisexual specie isn't a barrier for him]]]].
173* DualWielding: He learned it from his father, [[spoiler:just as Takuto did.]]
174* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Reiji shows several hints of this, but just to give one example: in Episode 22, after watching the play, he says, without an hint of malice or ill intent, that if the narration had continued, the protagonist would have given in to the corrupting influence of his power and chosen it over love, simply because that's the choice he would make. He is unable to imagine that any other human being would not make the same choice as he would in that position, because he assumes that all human beings are as selfish as he is.
175* EvilCounterpart: Head's Cybody is very similar to Takuto's Tauburn, even using similar weapons like Piles. [[spoiler:Which makes sense, as he's both Takuto's dad and was passed over for the mark.]]
176* EvilPlan[=/=]GambitRoulette: [[spoiler:His plan to become a time traveler.]]
177* FamilyEyeResemblance: He has the same additional ring around the irises [[spoiler:as Takuto and Icaro do. This is the first clear hint at him being Takuto's father.]]
178* ItsAllAboutMe: In SPADES. His ultimate plan is [[spoiler:to take control of Samekh, power it up to the fullest, and move outside of time so he can relive the "glorious past" forever. This plan requires that the world be destroyed. He doesn't care.]]
179* LimaSyndrome[=/=]StockholmSyndrome: Head and the North Maiden(Sakana-chan).
180* MeaningfulName: His Cybody is marked by the letter rēš, which indeed stands for "head".
181** [[spoiler: However, that mark is borrowed, seeing as his father Icaro didn't give him his family's mark.]]
182** [[spoiler: In addition, "Reiji," while figuratively "midnight," literally translates as "Zero Time."]]
183** [[spoiler: When written in kanji, his real name (Tokio) can literally mean "consort of time", which hints at his [[TimeTravel ultimate plan]].]]
184%%* ManipulativeBastard
185* OlderThanTheyLook: Sugata confuses him for a student of Southern Cross Academy when wearing a school uniform, but he's actually [[spoiler:old enough to be Takuto's father.]]
186* OrcusOnHisThrone: Responsible for the Crux's curiously half-hearted approach towards breaking the South Seal and taking down Tauburn. [[spoiler:He doesn't want to move until Shingo's woken up and he's received his old lover's mark.]]
187* PetTheDog:
188** Seems to have a brief one in episode 21, considering his wistful reminiscence of [[spoiler:the women in his life, both of whom he lost due to his pursuit of the Cybodies' power]].
189** He treats Fish Girl, [[spoiler:the North Maiden]], exceptionally well, having polite exchanges with her, taking great interest in her recurring story, and even [[spoiler:letting her go free from the cage he'd had her in once he felt he was done with her stories and didn't need her around anymore, even later telling Ryonosuke that he'd never locked her up against her will, so she could have left any time she chose to. The only reason she'd stayed to tell her story and sing for him for as long as she did was [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe because he was nice to her]] and [[StockholmSyndrome she liked him.]]]]
190* PsychopathicManchild: His lax immaturity and youthful qualities are apparent from the start. The "psychopathic" part becomes much more apparent later on.
191* PurpleIsPowerful: Purple is his hair, eye and character color and his strength rivals Takuto's.
192* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: The last episode had him delivering incredibly short ones to anyone present.]]
193* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Takuto's red. Additionally, Tauburn and Reshbal embody this principle in their color schemes.
194* ShadowArchetype: To [[spoiler:his son,]]Takuto. He's a callous, withdrawn, and thoroughly manipulative TheCasanova, where our hero is a HotBlooded, kind-hearted, and gregarious ChickMagnet. [[spoiler:Particularly notable in Episode 20's WholeEpisodeFlashback, where we get to see how he managed to comprehensively wreck his own trio.]]
195* StarcrossedLovers: With the North Maiden. Also with [[spoiler:Sora, Takuto's mother.]]
196* TheVamp: A rare male version. Perfectly willing to seduce anyone, male or female, in order to get what he wants.
197* WellDoneSonGuy: [[spoiler:His father refuses to give him the Tau mark, and he becomes obsessed with Cybody's power.]]
198
199!'''Kanako Watanabe'''
200Takuto's ''married'' classmate and member of the Glittering Crux Brigade under the name, "the President." She's in charge of the Adult Bank, with her section providing most of the monetary funds for the Crux. Her Cybody is Betraida.
201
202->Voiced by: Ayano Niina
203-----
204
205%%* AffablyEvil
206%%* {{Ahoge}}
207%%* AntiVillain
208* ArtisticAge: She looks like she's in her late twenties or early thirties. She's actually ''fifteen.''
209* BadassAdorable: Air-headed lonely rich girl? Think again. Her skill in the boxing ring more than proves that she's capable of handling herself in a fight.
210* BrutalHonesty: Bluntly states that her marriage is based on her husband being a DirtyOldMan and her being a greedy GoldDigger.
211* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler: We learn in Episode 24 that she doesn't have a yacht just to show off how rich she is; it's supposed to be an escape vessel for all the islanders in case the volcanoes connected to Zero Time erupt.]] Simone and Takashi are reasonably impressed.
212* DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler:She's got a mean straight in the boxing ring.]]
213%%* DeadpanSnarker
214* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: Wants to seize the Cybodies for her own section in order to control them, since she believes their release is inevitable.
215* DressedLikeADominatrix: Her Glittering Crux Brigade uniform has clear dominatrix overtones, consisting of a black jacket, long stockings, HighClassGloves, a CommissarCap and a [[WhipOfDominance whip]].
216* GoldDigger: As Kanako puts it, her marriage is held together "by the unbreakable bonds of greed."
217%%* HeelFaceTurn
218* HiddenDepths: You definitely wouldn't think [[spoiler:'World-Champion Boxer']] the first time seeing her.
219* ItAmusedMe: When Simone asked her why she [[spoiler:helped her recover from the accident by approivising her Cybody and pretended not to know that "Simone" was only pretending to be loyal as part of a scheme to strike at her illegitimate father's new wife]], Kanako responded with this trope. This trope covers pretty much everything else she does in the series.
220* {{Jerkass}}: PlayedForLaughs.
221%%** JerkWithAHeartOfGold
222%%* MsFanservice
223* MundaneUtility: She speculates that her first phase may be her beauty and business sense.
224* NecessarilyEvil: Her perspective on the Crux's actions - as she sees it, any action is justified in order to preserve the world and regulate the vast power of the Cybodies, no matter how personally regrettable it might be.
225* ObfuscatingStupidity: Comes across as the biggest floozy who ever lived... until you realize how competent she really is.
226* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: She apprivoised to heal Simone's coma, brought on by an accident, and then took her on as a maid even though she knew Simone had ulterior motives in doing so.]] While the manner of the act is questionable (see ItAmusedMe), it does not change the fact that (a) it was a good thing to do that (b) Kanako didn't have to do, but (c) did anyway at personal cost.
227%%* TheTease
228* WhipOfDominance: Carries a whip around as part of her Glittering Crux Brigade getup to give her an air of dominance and authority. She never really uses it for anything.
229* WiseBeyondTheirYears: From the way she acts, it can be hard to believe that she still attends high school.
230
231!'''Keito Nichi'''
232Leader of Bouganville under the name "Ivrogne," Keito holds a secret that most of the Crux doesn't know. [[spoiler: She is really the East Maiden, whose seal the Crux has to break in order to release the next phase for the Cybodies.]]
233
234->Voiced by: Creator/AmiKoshimizu
235-----
236
237* AffablyEvil: Seems like a nice enough girl, [[BitchInSheepsClothing although]]...
238%%* BarrierMaiden
239* BitchInSheepsClothing: She certainly doesn't SEEM that bad. But according to an [[http://ninteenpointzerofour.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/stardriver-english11.pdf official pamphlet]] outlining the series: "Her main characteristic is her two-faced personality: normally she's an honors student, but really she's a bitch."
240%%* ClassRepresentative
241* ChildhoodFriends: With Sugata and Wako.
242* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly aimed towards [[TheTease Kanako]], whose constant flirting she has a front-row seat to in class.
243* DoggedNiceGirl: For [[spoiler:Sugata.]]
244* EvilFormerFriend: To [[spoiler:Wako.]]
245* FromACertainPointOfView: [[spoiler: Her offer to Mizuno that she would help the latter to leave the island.]]
246* {{Jerkass}}[=/=][[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: Her profile says that she wants to gain as much satisfaction as she can from leading Takuto along and subsequently breaking him emotionally.
247* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:The reason for her entire involvement with the crux is because she's the odd one out in Sugata's love triangle.]]
248* MadScientist: Runs the Crux's tech division, and does a fair amount of experimentation in her spare time, as well. Needless to say, little of it is the sort of thing one would ordinarily study in a mainstream lab.
249* MeaningfulName: Her moniker, 'Ivrogne', in another instance of GratuitousFrench, translates into 'drunkard', and she's certainly handy with her potions...
250** It also serves as a nice link back to Literature/TheLittlePrince who encounters a drunkard who drinks to forget his shame of drinking.
251* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When she realizes that she's just handed over the most powerful cybody to Head and has sentenced Sugata to a life of slavery... or death by HeroicSacrifice.]]
252* NotSoAboveItAll: [[spoiler:In Episode 18, when Takuto shows her the picture of Keito and Wako playing model as children, she dismisses it as ancient history and describes Wako's dream of being an idol as childish. One scene later, turns out not so much. See also HypocriticalHumor.]]
253* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:Her plan was to trick the Crux and Head into setting things up for Sugata to achieve Samekh's power and rule the world. Too bad Head had predicted that and made it a vital part of ''his'' plan. Also outgambitted by Sugata who only wanted to pilot Samekh in order to seal it away at the [[HeroicSacrifice cost of his life.]]]]
254* TheRival: To Wako, in a serious way.
255%%* ScaryShinyGlasses
256* SugarAndIcePersonality: Based on her interaction with Sugata.
257* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: To [[spoiler:Sugata.]]
258* WeUsedToBeFriends: To [[spoiler:Wako.]]
259
260!'''Benio Shinada'''

262
263->Voiced by: Creator/ChiemiChiba
264----
265%%* AntiVillain
266* ChildhoodFriends: With George and Tetsuya.
267* FlashStep: Her signature move consists of using these to get behind her opponent in the blink of an eye.
268%%* GirlishPigtails
269%%* HeelFaceTurn
270* HopelessSuitor: For Sugata.
271* InTheBlood: [[spoiler:Like all members of Filament she comes from a marked bloodline that has lost its power.]]
272%%* {{Jerkass}}
273* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:She may wish to restore her lineage, but in the end, just like the other members of Filament, was unable to turn her back on the destruction of the world or her friendship with Takuto.]]
274* MeaningfulName: Her Cybody is marked by the letter pē, which stands for "mouth". It matches her Crux nickname and her ability to control people by kissing them.
275* OlderThanTheyLook: Looks a bit younger than the rest of the cast, though WordOfGod confirms she's sixteen.
276* StealthHiBye: Another thing she's fond of using her [[FlashStep ludicrous speed]] for, especially on Takuto, ''in guys' bath''.
277* TheUnchosenOne: Wants to restore the honor of her family as Star Drivers (or, less charitably, be seen as a worthy suitor to Sugata). In either case, she's deadly serious about it, forming Filament as a sort of ''department'' of ScrewDestiny.
278* TokenMiniMoe: Or rather, she looks like one despite WordOfGod confirming that she's older than most of the cast at 16.
279%%* {{Tsundere}}

281!'''Midori Okamoto'''
282Leader of the Crux's Science Guild, she is also known as Professor Green. She's the school nurse and owner of the Cybody Yoddock.
283
284->Voiced by: Creator/HoukoKuwashima
285----
286%%* AffablyEvil
287* CombatClairvoyance: Yoddock's Precog Mode.
288* CovertPervert: At least she ''tries'' to be covert about it (see FailedASpotCheck).
289* DistractedByTheSexy: How she loses to Takuto. Really, you can't even call it 'distracted', she pretty much makes a conscious decision to turn off her precognition to better ogle Takuto, and didn't even notice that his sexy poses were the set-up for his FinishingMove.
290* DitzyGenius: She's Professor Green, the leader of the Science Guild division of the Glittering Crux, and is a great Star Driver, but she's reduced to nothing more than a squee-ing mess when attractive young males come into the picture.
291* FailedASpotCheck: Goes to great lengths to hide her '[[{{Bishonen}} Pretty Boy]] Album', but neglects to do anything about the wall of {{Bishonen}} posters adorning her office. Which, hilariously, was BehindTheBlack.
292* FatalFlaw: Her unhealthy attraction to high school boys was her downfall.
293%%* GeniusDitz
294%%* HeelFaceTurn
295* HotForStudent: Only interested in high school boys.
296* MadScientist: Leader of an entire branch of them, and responsible for such exploits as ''warping the time/space continuum in order to pick up teenage boys''.
297* MayDecemberRomance: As of the eighth episode, she's shown to be in an actual relationship with Tsubasa, one of her former patients.
298* MundaneUtility / PowerPerversionPotential: She's a member of an Evil Organization based on world domination and has [[TimeMaster the power to warp time and space]] and what does she do? She turns herself into a teenager to form a {{Bishonen}} harem of course!
299* PlotTailoredToTheParty: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Keito. The Mandrake LovePotion [[AwesomeButImpractical only works for teenagers but at the same time is fatal to teenagers]], meaning Midori with her [[FountainOfYouth age changing]] powers is the only one who can make any use of it.
300%%* SchoolNurse
301* TimeMaster: [[InformedAbility Stated]]. In reality the only applications of this power we've seen are [[{{Seers}} limited precognition]] and [[FountainOfYouth turning her body back into that of a teenager]].
302* {{Underboobs}}: In her Crux outfit.
303
304!'''Takeo Takumi'''
305Known as Sword Star of Vanishing Age. His Cybody is Zayinth which wields the Star Sword Grenat. [[spoiler:After Head's coup, it's revealed he has a true mark.]]

313%%* EyesAlwaysShut
314%%* HellishPupils
315* HopelessSuitor: For Marino, who has her eyes towards Takuto.
316* LethalHarmlessPowers: The telekinesis that his first phase grants him doesn't really let him do much more than slightly redirect a ball in flight. Then you find out that his Cybody is capable of projecting a considerable number of deadly {{Energy Ball}}s...
317* MundaneUtility: His first phase lets him play a mean game of baseball.
318%%* SlasherSmile
319
320!'''Ginta Ryou'''
321A rather callous, self-centred Vanishing Age Star Driver codenamed 'Camel Star' who resents his organisation's continued lack of progression to the fourth phase and the invasion of the real world, creating considerable friction with his leader, Head. [[spoiler:Like the rest of his faction, has a true mark that allows him to pilot Cybodies in the third phase.]]
322
323->Voiced by: Creator/RyoheiKimura
324----
325
326* TheBeastmaster: His First Phase allows him to control animals.
327%%* CombatPragmatist
328* DetachmentCombat: His Cybody's backpack can split off into a gigantic mechanical spider which he can control remotely.
329* PowerPerversionPotential: Quite willing to spy on Maidens undergoing purification rituals through the eyes of his animals.
330* TheStarscream: Intends on betraying Head since he (quite rightly) believes he can't be trusted.
331* SurroundedByIdiots: He literally says this about his situation in Crux. See WhyDontYaJustShootHim.
332* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: [[spoiler: He wonders the same thing as the audience about the Crux's half-hearted approach to the whole Tauburn business and deals with Takuto ''very'' efficiently. He would have been able to break Wako's seal had it not been for Kou's intervention.]]
333
334!'''Madoka Kei'''
335Known as Window Star, she's a member of the Adult Bank [[spoiler:until switching to Vanishing Age after the Crux reaches phase three.]] She pilots the Cybody Hegent and has the Star Sword Perle.
336
337->Voiced by: Creator/{{Yukana}}
338----
339
340* AxCrazy: Has a nasty habit of confronting people for little reason other than that she feels bored, and has difficulty seeing any difference between, say, a competitive volleyball match and [[spoiler:going after an enemy outside of school with a Star Sword]].
341* CatchPhrase: "How exciting!" or "I'm getting chills!"
342%%* CuteAndPsycho
343* DepravedBisexual: Willing to go for just about anyone, and prepared to use some rather... [[GrandTheftMe disturbing]] methods to accomplish it.
344* EarlyBirdCameo: Back in episode three, with Kou.
345* {{Expy}}: She and Kou are psycho versions of [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailors Neptune and Uranus]], a lesbian couple who appear partway through the series with personal motives differing from those of either the heroes or the main antagonists, and who simultaneously antagonize and make romantic/sexual overtures toward the lead character. As the more feminine and more amoral of the pair, Madoka resembles Michiru Kaioh aka Sailor Neptune, albeit with hair color and some other traits switched.
346* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Proved she can be one, surprisingly enough, in Episode 21.]]
347* GodivaHair: In episode 19, unsurprisingly enough.
348* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Even when you consider that it involves playing around with awesome giant robots in a SceneryPorn-eriffic alternate reality, she enjoys Cybody combat ''way'' too much. Episode 21 nearly took it up to eleven.
349* ItAmusedMe: Volleyball competition? Exciting! Giant robot battle? Exciting! Potentially lapsing into a coma and dying? Exciting!
350* ManChild: has dashes of this. She uses third person to refer to herself and wants to be entertained constantly
351%%* TheOjou
352* OjouRinglets: With the imperious personality to match.
353* OrgasmicCombat: She spends all of episode 21's fight on the knife's-edge of climaxing, if her panting and tone are anything to go by.
354* RedOniBlueOni: With Kou. She's an energetic and somewhat bloodthirsty red.
355* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Along with Kou, she leaves the island in episode 21 once she figures that Takuto and his friends will now know that she's a member of the Glittering Crux.
356* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Kou's {{Tomboy}}. [[CuteAndPsycho Her psychological state]] seems to make her more of a threat to others, however.
357* WildCard: Far too unpredictably psychotic to reliably be on anyone's side - the Crux are already starting to have second thoughts about bringing her in to deal with Takuto.
358
359!'''Kou Atari'''
360A member of Adult Bank under the name Needle Star. [[spoiler:As a true mark holder, she switches to Vanishing Age once the Crux reaches the third stage.]]

As the more butch of the two and the one whose Cybody has a flying mode she can pilot, Kou resembles Haruka Tenoh aka Sailor Uranus, albeit with hair color and some other traits switched.
369* GrandTheftMe: Her first phase.
370* MoralityPet: Astonishingly, ''[[AxeCrazy Madoka]]'' serves as hers - at least, enough for [[spoiler:her to stop Wako's seal getting broken because her partner's Cybody wasn't sufficiently repaired to hold out against the inevitable international counterattack when the mechs emerged into the real world]].
371* RedOniBlueOni: With Madoka. She's the calm one.
372* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Madoka's girly girl. As dangerous as Madoka, if not as...[[UnusualEuphemism excitable]].
373%%* TomboyishVoice
374* TransformingMecha: Kophrite can turn into a form that's less humanoid and more akin to a fighter jet, complete with projectiles and all.
375* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:Sabotaged Camel Star's attempt to break the South Seal in order to protect Madoka.]]
376* WildCard: Only really cares about [[AxeCrazy Madoka]]'s wellbeing. Everything else, including the overarching goals of the Crux's various factions, is strictly optional.
377
378!'''Simone Aragon [[spoiler:Pamela Watanabe]]'''
379Member of the Adult Bank, Simone is Kanako's servant in the Crux and in her "civilian" job also. Codenamed Secretary, she is the pilot of the Cybody Daletos.
380
381->Voiced by: Creator/AyanaTaketatsu
382----
383%%* AntiVillain
384* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:In a way. Leon Watanabe, Kanako's husband, is Simone's real father, and Simone herself didn't know the circumstances of her birth until one year before the events of the series. And even currently, despite her knowing, nothing indicates that she sees him regularly.]]
385* TheDragon: Kanako's personal example, at least, being her 'secretary', though she [[DragonWithAnAgenda has her own motives.]]
386%%* HeelFaceTurn
387* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Her actual name, Pamela, often intended to mean 'all sweetness', deliberately contrasting with the hatred she feels towards Kanako underneath her facade of politeness...until episode 11, anyway.]]
388* OfficialCouple: According WordOfGod she is dating Takashi.
389* PhenotypeStereotype: Judging from her conversation in the background with Kanako's husband in the third episode, it appears as though she's French.
390* {{Tsundere}}: Toward Kanako past episode 11, whom she refuses to admit that she actually likes.
391* UnresolvedSexualTension: As of the eleventh episode, some people certainly do believe a fair bit of this exists between her and Takashi.
392
393!'''Takashi Dai'''
394A member of the kendo club, Takashi is also known as Banker. He works a Kanako's servant in the Adult Bank and his civilian life like Simone. He pilots the Cybody Tzadikt and controls the Star Sword Amethyste. [[spoiler: After the cybercasket is destroyed and only true mark users can approvise, Takashi transfer to Vanishing Age as he also has a true mark.]]

408Also known as Ondine, member of Bouganville. She pilots the Cybody Kaphrat.
409
410->Voiced by: Creator/ChiwaSaito
411----
412* MeaningfulName: Her alias is "Ondine". Ondines are mythological water nymphs, and Mami makes a living as a shell-diver.
413* OfThePeople: Notably less extreme than several other examples of the trope, but she still hates outsiders, especially since one of them is the source of all their problems.
414* PetTheDog:
415** An almost literal case where she tries to pet Vice President when she sees him wander onto her table at the cafe, and is disappointed when he scurries off before she can do so.
416** She's nice to people who are natural islanders, as shown by a friendly interaction with Mizuno in episode 15.
417* PsychicPowers: Can summon a humanoid entity called the "Mermaidoll", which she can control from afar by thought. However, despite being a potent weapon, it also has its drawbacks; Nichi tells her she hasn't perfected it yet, and the Mermaidoll is prone to going out of control.
418
419!'''George Honda'''
420The member of Filament known as Raging Bull. George is also a member of the school's boxing club and is constantly seen working out. His Cybody is Alephist, which resembles his Crux name.
421
422->Voiced by: Shun Takagi

424%%* BoisterousBruiser
425* ButtMonkey: Seems to fill this role rather well. If getting it handed to him by Tauburn didn't qualify him, getting 2 punch knocked out by [[spoiler: Kanako]] probably did.

427* CurbStompBattle: Versus Takuto [[spoiler:and then Kanako]]. Poor dude ''still'' hasn't recovered from the shock.

And, when Head reveals his master plan and tries to kill Takuto, they find they can't allow it and assist Takuto.]]
433* ShoutOut: A boxer named Film/RagingBull?

456%%* BigSisterInstinct
457* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Thanks to her MoralityPet "sister", though it could be argued she was never truly a Heel to begin with due to only being with the Crux in order to ensure they never get to her "sister."]]

476* {{Expy}}: His design is almost identical to Shirou Watari from ''Anime/RahXephon''.
477%%* EyepatchOfPower
478* EyeScream: [[spoiler: He took out his left eye to avoid seeing the affair between Head and his fiancee Sora]]
479* FaceOfAThug: When he was younger.
480* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: in both the romantic and platonic sense, he wants the people he loves to be happy.
481%%* LoveHurts
482* LoveMartyr: Still helps out Head despite all the crap the guy put him through.
483* OnlyFriend: Head's.
484* RedHerring: He's the only guy in the show who seems the right age to be Takuto's father.
485* SugarAndIcePersonality: Backfired horribly for him. [[spoiler: His fiancee Sora did not realize that he reciprocated her love and fell for Tokio a.k.a. Head instead.]]
486* XRayVision: His first phase. [[spoiler:Until he clawed out his eye to stop himself from seeing things with it, anyway.]]
487
488!'''Hideki Shibuya'''
489Known as Professor Silver, he is one of the oldest members of the Order, currently working for the Science Guild under Professor Green. Had a hand in designing much of the Crux's technology, including the Cybercasket and the Overphase System.

494* AllThereInTheManual: His real name is never mentioned in the series proper.
495* KarmaHoudini: All members of the Crux either undergo a HeelFaceTurn in the end or get dealt some comeuppance by Takuto at some point in the series...except for him, who's given neither by the time the show has ended.
496* MadScientist: Just one look at the guy and you can tell he's one.
497* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Well, professorship.
498* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: He studies the ruins, develops Cybody technology and also works for the island's hospital, being responsible for Shingo's monitoring and treatment.
499* TheStarscream: To Professor Green. When Vanishing Age takes control of the Glittering Crux, he's shown to be involved with it due to having worked behind Professor Green's back. While Professor Green stays the head of the Science Guild by technicality, Professor Silver is then in charge of the more important scientific work for Head himself.
500
501!'''Shingo Makiba'''
502A youthful-looking man, currently in a coma. First seen at the hospital when [[spoiler:Head]] comes to visit in episode 17, where his condition seems to be heavily monitored. [[spoiler:In Katashiro's flashback, it's shown that Shingo is the bearer of the Šin mark, a mark he had meant to pass on to Head. Head supposedly seduced Shingo for this very purpose, hungry to pursue the power of the Cybodies. However, before he could give Head the Šin mark, Shingo fell into a comatose state for a reason and manner so far unexplained, and now, Head and the research division are watching his vital signs carefully, as it seems that he is resurfacing from the deep sleep he was trapped in.]]
503
504->Voiced by: Creator/ShintaroAsanuma
505----
506
507* AmbiguouslyGay: Though he's only ambigous because we don't know what people he prefers outside of [[spoiler:Head]], with whom he's ''very'' obviously in love. His looks and husky voice are rather stereotypical hints at him being gay, but ultimately, we don't really know.
508* ConvenientComa: So convenient that most of the second half of the series wouldn't exist if he didn't sleep during that time. He even wakes up very conveniently to Head's plans.
509%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
510%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
511* LoveMartyr: Appears to care deeply for Head, despite the fact that the other man is clearly only interested in him for his mark.
512* OlderThanTheyLook: His actual age is unknown, but it appears to be around the same as Head's and when we see him in present day episodes he doesn't look a single day older than when [[spoiler:he met Head]] and later fell into coma fifteen years ago. It's implied that this is an effect of his first phase, but is ultimately not confirmed.
513* SmallRoleBigImpact: He has maybe about ten minutes of overall screentime, but has significant importance to the plot. His coma is the reason for Head's OrcusOnHisThrone tendencies [[spoiler:as he is waiting for Shingo to wake up and give him his mark]] and [[spoiler:his Cybody]] plays a big role in the finale [[spoiler:because it can possess other Cybodies]].

532* LoveAtFirstSight: One-sided towards Takuto.
533* ParentalAbandonment: Her father left the family for reasons unstated. Then her mom ''also'' decided to chase after him, leaving her in the care of Mizuno's aunt.
534* PolarOppositeTwins: She's the hyper one, while Marino is more subdued.
535* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Leaves with Marino after she loses her mark.]]
536* TheRival: To Wako, in a friendly way. Lampshaded by Ruri.
537* RoughOveralls: Mizuno You is the more carefree twin compared to her older twin sister, Marino. Mizuno is also frequently seen wearing overalls as part of her daily wear, highlighting her carefree attitude.
538* SharedFamilyQuirks: Marino and Mimzuno like the exact same ice-cream which is how Mizuno can guess the flavors. [[spoiler: It's the earliest foreshadowing that they're not twins but a clone]]
539* SiblingYinYang: Marino is the [[TheStoic calm twin]] while Mizuno is the [[GenkiGirl cheerful one]].
