9	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroShimono (Japanese), Creator/CliffordChapin (English)
10
11	Raishin Akabane is the main male protagonist, Yaya's puppet master, and indentured servant to Shouko.
12	----
13	* AccidentalPervert: It's not his fault every woman he meets seems to assume he's a pervert. That's less him falling into such situations than the women he meets being crazy, though.
14	* AlmightyJanitor: He's ranked second last yet is strong enough to challenge some of the top competitors.
15	* ArrangedMarriage: He mentions having been engaged before his family was wiped out. He plans to annul it.
16	* BookDumb: English is not his first language, so he ended up with a lower rank than he might have. He's very clever otherwise.
17	* ButtMonkey: He can barely go an episode without some woman twisting his words and making him look like a pervert.
18	* CainAndAbel: With his brother, Tenzin. Tenzin is the prodigy while Raishin was kicked out. Then
19	* CastFromLifespan: Yaya's powers are fueled by his magic, and it's slowly killing him.
20	* CatchPhrase: "Don't say things that will invite misunderstandings." Almost always said in response to Yaya making him seem like a pervert.
21	* CelibateHero: Despite having gathered a harem he has no romantic interest in them, and has to actively refuse Yaya's advances.
22	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He always has to help those in need, even when it's a risk to him.
23	* EmbarrassingNickname: He gets registered as "Second Last" by Kimberly, both because it's his overall rank and because she thought it was funny.
24	* JustAsPlanned: He's very good at manipulating his opponents into foiling themselves.
25	* KungFuWizard: He fights alongside Yaya when he can, which is unusual since most mages try to stay out of fighting.
26	* MadeOfIron: His injuries honestly should have killed him several times over, which is doubly ridiculous because he's actually been said to heal slower than the average human.
27	* NeverLiveItDown: Cortousy of his teacher, he's stuck with the title of being "Second Last" due to his abysmal test scores, and she's eager to remind him of that every chance she gets.
28	* TheMole: Shouko uses him to gather intel and materials at her whim.
29	* {{Revenge}}: Seeks revenge against Tenzin for his deceased sister.
30	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: See CatchPhrase above. Yaya always assumes the worst, and the other women aren't much better.
31	* UnwantedHarem: He'd really rather not have all these women fighting over him.

34	[[folder:Yaya]]
35	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unbreakable_machine_doll_yaya.png]]
36	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiHarada (Japanese), Creator/BrynApprill (English)
37
38	Yaya is one of the main female protagonists in the series. She is a Bandoll. This means she is a Puppet who has human components. She has real human blood and skin. She is the second of Shouko's Setsugetsuka sisters. It's hinted that Yaya is actually a machine doll, though it is unknown just how complete she is at the moment. Yaya, like Sigmund must also consume food to maintain her body functions. Raishin indentured himself to Shouko to become Yaya's Puppeteer.
39	----
40	* ArtificialHuman: She was made by Shouko using some human parts.
41	* BadassAdorable: Cute and can hit like a freight train.
42	* BarehandedBladeBlock: She can stop pretty much anything thanks to her special ability.
43	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Raishin treating her nicely causes her to fall for him, even if it means disobeying Shouko.
44	* BecomeARealBoy: She thinks Raishin would like her better if she were human.
45	* ClingyJealousGirl: She always assumes other women are out to steal Raishin from her.

47	* GenkiGirl: She's very energetic, loud, and often brash.
48	* MinidressOfPower: She kicks ass while wearing a very short kimono.
49	* RavenHairIvorySkin: She has the appearance of a pretty girl with black hair and porcelain-colored skin.
50	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She'll strip down or flash Raishin on a whim if she thinks it will lead somewhere.
51	* SuperMode: During the battle with Sin, she enters one to protect Raishin, turning her hair white and growing a horn from her head. The otherwise invulnerable Sin wound up with two cracked forearms from just one kick.
52	* SuperSpeed: She can move incredibly fast.
53	* SuperStrength: She's introduced stopping a train.
54	* SuperToughness: Her power hardens her body, making it as durable as carbide.
55	* ThirdPersonPerson: She speaks of herself in the third person almost constantly.
56	* WaifFu: She looks like a girl with a petite body, but she's actually several times stronger than a human and can stop a train by herself.
57	* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, as she'll choke Raishin when she thinks he's being unfaithful.

60	[[folder:Charlotte Belew]]
61	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charlotte_belew.png]]
62	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiTakamoto (Japanese), Kristin Sutton (English)
63
64	A second year puppeteer at Walpurgis Machinart Academy. She is one of the top students at the Academy. She aspires to be the Wiseman, and because she doesn't want to feel bad about going against friends that she refuses to make friends.

75	%% commented out as Administrivia.ZeroContextExample * SweetTooth: "There's always room for dessert."
76	* {{Tsundere}}: She insults Raishin at just about every opportunity she gets. When he's about to win an argument with her, her responses range from shouting "Shut up!"/"That's not it!"/"Idiot!" to unleashing her Automaton on him. She even outright ''refuses'' his help at one point (despite having received his help before when she needed it), to the extent of ''threatening to kill him if he insisted on helping her''.

88	* CordonBleughChef: If the salted cookies she made Raishin are any indication.
89	* CuteClumsyGirl: Her assassination attempts are undone by this.
90	* EpicFail: All her attempts to assassinate Raishin are adorably incompetent, and most she ends up triggering herself by accident.
91	%% commented out as Administrivia.ZeroContextExample * FriendToAllLivingThings
92	* MysticalWhiteHair: Is albino and in possession of the same magical abilities as her peers.
93	* NiceGirl: Her seeming lack of social skills and assassination attempts aside, she's actually rather kind and helpful, if a little laconic.

95	* ShrinkingViolet: Shy, quiet and insecure.

100	[[folder:Loki]]
101	[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/loki_unbreakable_machine_doll.png]]
102	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (Japanese), Chris Burnett (English)
103
104	Loki, also known as the Sword Emperor, is the younger brother of Frey, the master of Cherubim, and a participant in the Night Party.
105	----
106	* BadassCape: Dons a theatrical black one.
107	* BigBrotherBully: Comes across as one to Frey, despite being the little brother. It's ultimately revealed to be misguided affection.
108	* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted since he's the younger sibling. [[CruelToBeKind His bluntness and harsh words are attempts to keep her out of harm's way.]]
109	* BigLittleBrother: He looks a bit older than Frey, but he's actually the younger sibling.
110	%% commented out as Administrivia.ZeroContextExample * CodeName: Sacred Flame
111	* TheDogBitesBack: After he and his sister were experimented on by Bronson, he finally gets to take Bronson down with Raishin's help.
112	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though he's mean to Frey, he does want what's best for her.
113	* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "I am a benevolent and tolerable guy, but there are three things I simply can't stand: people who order me around, people who try to oppose me, and people who [whatever thing is currently annoying him]".
114	* NobleBigot: Loki is an openly racist douchebag with the despicable habit of casually throwing "You Oriental" as an insult in the same way a UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan member would use "You Nigger" to denote their perceived inferiority of non-white outsiders; and yet he is presented as unambiguously heroic because of his love and devotion towards his sister Freya.
115	* TheRival: To Raishin.
116	* SiblingYinYang: With Frey. He's assertive and occasionally ruthless while Frey's submissive and mostly kind.
117	* SitcomArchnemesis: To Raishin. They will argue and bicker whenever they're in each other's presence. Even while working together, one has to get a jab in.
118	%% commented out as Administrivia.ZeroContextExample * Tsundere

127
128	Real name Tenzen Akabane, Magnus is Raishin's aloof older brother, responsible for the murder of his sister and their entire clan.
129	----
130	* AloofBigBrother: His tone barely changes, even when Raishin is accusing him of murder. He won't even admit to being Tenzen, though he doesn't bother to deny it, either.
131	* AmazonBrigade: He has six female Bandoll automata.
132	* MadScientist: All of his Bandoll were made from young girls, one of which is his own sister.
133	* WorthyOpponent: He admits that Raishin has the potential to pull an upset in the Night Party, and indeed wants him to.

141	----
142	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Plays the nice guy act to hide that he's a borderline psychopath.
143	* FauxAffablyEvil: Especially when he reveals his true colors. He continues to offer Raishin a chance to work with him while planning to throw Charlotte under the bus.
144	* FrameUp: He pins the Cannibal Candy attacks on Charlotte to deflect suspicion.

159
160	Head of the Night Party Executive Committee and a member of the Rounds. Ranked tenth.
161	----
162	* HighClassGlass: His monocle emphasizes his gentlemanly behavior and position as head of the Night Party Executive Committee.
163	* IHaveYourWife: He forces Charlotte to make assassination attempts on the headmaster lest he kill her sister. The interesting part of this is at no point is her sister actually held hostage. His BattleButler, Sin, is just so freakishly powerful that he could kill her on a whim.
164	* TheReveal: After his plans for Charlotte are foiled, it's revealed he [[spoiler:is really Alice Bernstein, who is using Cedric's form]].

172
173	Head of the Machine Physics department and member of Nectar, an enforcement organization that tracks violations of Machinart law.
174	----
175	* HypocrisyNod: She has a habit of pointing out some sort of character flaw (accusing Magnus of acting "lordly" by watching a battle on high or saying Shouko likes her secrets), only to immediately add that she is guilty of the same and is no position to judge.
176	* SternTeacher: She gives Raishin a lot of flak for being second last, since he has to take a bunch of make-up classes.

182
183	The school doctor and all-around womanizer.
184	----
185	* IronicName: The guy named Cruel is anything but. Perhaps a bit annoyed with Raishin injuring himself constantly, but that's it.
186	* TeacherStudentRomance: Not technically a teacher, but nevertheless has several student flings and hits on Henriette the first chance he gets.

203
204	Charlotte's automata, a Bandoll made from a dragon.
205	----
206	* BraveScot: Has a Scottish accent in the English dub
207	* CoolOldGuy: Between his calm nature and advice to Yaya, he can come across as this.
208	* FlechetteStorm: Luster Flare, a barrage of energy bolts designed to take out limbs and paralyze opponents.
209	* ImAHumanitarian: He's said to have eaten humans in the past. He sticks to cooked chicken these days.
210	* OneHitKill: Assuming his beams hit something, they will almost assuredly vaporize it. Even Yaya would be struck down by this attack. It's quite a surprise when Sin survives several hits.
211	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: He's a magically empowered dragon that shoots energy beams.
212	* ParentalSubstitute: Is one to Charlotte, often cautioning her and attempting to play the mentor with her.
213	* ParrotPetPosition: Spends most of his time riding Charlotte's shoulder when in SleepModeSize.
214	* ShoulderSizedDragon: Is one of these in his SleepModeSize.
215	* SleepModeSize: He spends most of his time in a smaller form slightly bigger than a parrot.

220	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rabbi_unbreakable_machine_doll.jpg]]
221
222	Frey's doll, a Bandoll made from a large wolf breed. She later gets an entire pack of similar dolls.
223	----
224	* BloodMagic: He can catalyze Frey's blood into more magic power, increasing his size but also rendering him uncontrollable. Understandably, this isn't good for Frey, either.
225	* TheNoseKnows: He can track magic by scent.
226	* SuperScream: He has a sonic bark.
227	* ThemeNaming: Rabbi and the rest of the pack all have names starting with 'R'.

233
234	Loki's doll, a purely mechanical doll.
235	----
236	* AwesomeButImpractical: His series is extremely powerful, but also horribly expensive and not suited to mass production. As a single unit, however, he's pretty good.
237	* BlowYouAway: His magic circuit generates air pressure.
238	* TransformingMecha: Can transform into a giant, self-guided sword.

244
245	Felix's automaton, a Bandoll which can assimilate the magic circuits of other dolls.
246	----
247	* CannibalismSuperpower: Cannibal Candy can eat and then integrate the magic circuits of other dolls, gaining their powers. By the time Raishin fought it, it had 47 different powers to call on.
248	* DiscardAndDraw: Cannibal Candy can only use one magic circuit at a time, and the circuit must be ejected to activate another. This means any power it has is lost once it switches to another.
249	* FightingIrish: Speaks with an Irish accent in the English dub.

254	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiKayano (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English)
255
256	Shokou's personal attendant and the first of her Setsugetsuka sisters. Like Yaya, she is a Bandoll.
257	----
258	* BigSisterInstinct: She promised Komurasaki that she would freeze anyone who tried to hassle her.
259	* CoolBigSis: To Yaya and Komurasaki.
260	* DCupDistress: She gets embarrassed when others compliment her 'assets'.
261	* ElementalHairColors: As an automaton with ice powers, Irori has silver hair to match her element.
262	* HimeCut: She has full bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and waist-length straight hair. It completes her YamatoNadeshiko character.
263	* AnIcePerson: She has the ability to freeze things, potentially over an area the size of a city.
264	* KimonoIsTraditional: Like the other Setsugetsuka sisters, Irori wears a kimono. While her sisters are mere KimonoFanservice, the clothes suit Irori especially well because of her YamatoNadeshiko character.
265	* SiblingYinYang: She's level-headed and mature while both of her younger sisters are varying degrees of GenkiGirl.
266	* SilkHidingSteel: She's very calm and graceful, but implied from time to time to be in possession of just as much power as Yaya.
267	* TrueBlueFemininity: Irori, the most graceful and proper of the Setsugetsuka Trilogy, wears a beautiful blue kimono.
268	* YamatoNadeshiko: She's mature, polite, and calm, wears a kimono, and her protectiveness of her younger sister shows she has the iron core.

273	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuiOgura (Japanese), Creator/LaraWoodhull (English)
274
275	The third of Shouko's Setsugetsuka sisters, and a Bandoll like the others.
276	----
277	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Acts like this to Yaya, especially when trying to one-up her in front of Raishin.
278	* GenkiGirl: She takes after Yaya.
279	* GirlishPigtails: Fitting her childish nature.
280	* InvisibilityCloak: Her magic allows her to render herself and anyone else invisible to the human senses. Those with heightened senses, like Frey's automaton dogs, can see through it.
281	--> '''Komurasaki:''' [[PowerPerversionPotential We could have a romp right here]] and no one would even notice!
282	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Just like Yaya, she's willing to strip in front of Raishin if she thinks it'll lead somewhere.

287	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese), Creator/VicMignogna (English)
288
289	Alice's automaton and butler. He is a machine-doll, capable of operating completely independent of a puppeteer.
290	----
291	* BattleButler: Serving tea one moment and beatdowns the next.
292	* CombatPragmatist: He likes to attack from behind using his FlashStep.
293	* ExtremityExtremist: He favors kicking things, using sharp jabs as a finishing move.
294	* FlashStep: He can pretty much teleport at will.
295	* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "I am a humble Granville butler, but if I had one flaw it would be [random thing]."
296	* NighInvulnerability: He is incredibly hard to kill, able to take a sustained beating from Yaya and several hits from Sigmund with only some burns to show for it, the latter being something that would even kill Yaya. Only Yaya's SuperMode was able to inflict significant damage to him.
297	* TheWorfEffect: It takes Yaya's SuperMode to meaningfully hurt him when he fights Raishin, but he tells his master that Magnus was able to overwhelm him with just one of his six dolls.
