[[folder:York Neely/Yuuto Kannagi]]
!!York Neely/Yuuto Kannagi
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ce_york_neely.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/SatoshiHino

The protagonist of the game. Apparently the son of a jujitsu master, York became bored with this "outdated" style of fighting and took up gunplay. Very protective of his childhood friend Miko, who is the only person York isn't a {{Jerkass}} to.
----
* AccidentalPervert: Sometime right before the game's events, he accidentally walked in the bath while Mikoto was still there. She brought out her naginata after that. [[AllThereInTheManual It's viewable at the gallery.]]
* BloodKnight: Evident right off the bat. The first battle of the game opens (somewhat) like this:
---> '''Miko''': What happened?
---> '''York''': Dunno.
---> '''Miko''': Where's Troy?
---> '''York''': Somewhere.
---> '''Miko''': ''Where'' are ''we''?
---> '''York''': Don't care-hey, look, a wolf!
---> '''Wolf''': Grawr 'n' stuff.
---> '''Miko''': Maybe it's friendly.
---> '''York''': Nope, it's hostile, and I'ma kill it.
---> '''Wolf''': Hwoo?
---> ''Four Quick Shots later''
---> '''York''': What, it's over?
---> ''More wolves show up''
---> '''York''': Yay!
---> ''Morrigan shows up and takes out two of the wolves''
---> '''York''': Killstealer!
* BoringButPractical: Quick Shot, York's base attack. Follows this formula:
---> ''shoot_times = 5'';
---> ''hit_times += 5'';
---> ''AP -= 8'';
---> '' '''if''' (AP >= 8) '''then'''''
----> ''repeat''
---> ''else''
----> ''break loop''
* BulletTime: Taken to ridiculous extremes with Null Form.
** To elaborate, York fires a single bullet from his guns, then kicks the enemy '''four''' times before the bullet even ''moves''. Said bullet then strikes the enemy and explodes. York even has time to pose after the kicks.
%%* CoolShades
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: [[spoiler:With the reveal that Miko is a Baku, on the True End he does just this.]]
* DubNameChange: His name was changed from Yuuto Kannagi to York Neely in localization.
* EvolvingAttack: Foxfire is essentially a Light-Elemental Point Blank with a laser.
* FieryRedhead: The male version
%%* GunsAkimbo
* GunFu: The most prominent of the cast's gun-users. Actually created his style from the ground up.
%%* GunKata
* TheGunslinger: Type C (The Woo)
* JerkAss: To everyone except Miko.
** Zelos is also an exception, seeing as these two can actually get along just fine.
* LightningBruiser: Stats notwithstanding, his fighting style indicates this.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: When Morrigan joins the team, York doesn't act so titillated - he's ''really'' annoyed that she stole a kill from him. The first thing he says to her is "I suppose we should thank you for saving us?" and when she asks if she can join he says "you're not gonna leave us alone if we say no."
** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJKbm3miFpM
* PistolWhipping: Averted; York seems to prefer using his feet in melee combat
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Troy's blue. With corresponding hair-colors.
* SlasherSmile: During his [[LimitBreak EX-Attack]] [[SuperMovePortraitAttack cut-in]]
* UnderstandingBoyfriend: [[spoiler:He knew right from the start that Miko and May were the same person. He stayed quiet about it because he figured she had her reasons for acting as though they were different people.]]
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:With Mikoto if you get the True Ending, complete with BabiesEverAfter.]]

[[folder:Mikoto "Miko" Aiba]]
!!Mikoto "Miko" Aiba
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ce_miko_aiba.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/RinaSato

York's childhood friend and classmate, who has lived with his family since her parents died. Often the voice of reason to York, and the only person who can keep him in line. Like York, she retains her memories when transported to the soul world.
----
* BadassBookworm: Apparently an honor student in her home dimension, yet powerful enough to [[spoiler:kill a Dream-Eater on his own turf]].
* CoolBigSis: To May [[spoiler:who is her other self]], and to Vivi, Cece, and Mimi [[spoiler:''who are her future kids'']].
* DamselInDistress: As part of [[spoiler:Ayatane's BatmanGambit]].
* HeroicSacrifice: In the Bad Ending, [[spoiler:she chooses to seal herself away in the game's world with the Empyreal One forever, causing her to be RetGone from everyone's memories]].
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:She's a Baku. Surprising since she [[OurMonstersAreDifferent looks nothing like an elephant tiger chimera nor a tapir]].]]
%%* MakingASplash
* MeaningfulName: She's clearly Japanese, fights with a halberd, possesses spiritual powers, and her third EX involves lots of sakura petals. So yeah...
* {{Miko}}: [[{{Pun}} Both her name and her occupation]].
* MoralityPet: Kinda, to York. Given his [[{{Jerkass}} personality]], though, she's more of a Be-Less-of-an-ass Pet.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:Becomes one to York in the True Ending, complete with BabiesEverAfter.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:May]]
!! May
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ce_may.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/SakuraNogawa

A mysterious girl who appeared before York and Miko, requesting their assistance in releasing trapped Souls. She's surprisingly mature for her age. [[spoiler:In truth, she is the personification of Miko's powers as a Bright Baku.]]
----
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:She's a Baku. Surprising since she [[OurMonstersAreDifferent looks nothing like an elephant tiger chimera nor a tapir]].]]
%%* MysteriousWaif
* {{Psychopomp}}: She has the power to send Souls to the worlds they belong in. [[spoiler: Though not quite, the explanation given is largely a cover what what she really is and is doing. While this is her most obvious ability, the Souls are in fact fragments of various minds being returned to their proper world.]]
* UnreliableExpositor: [[spoiler:Many things she states initially are revealed to be false. Notably "Souls" are fragments of minds and the "Real World", a world supposedly without magic and the like, is not quite so realistic as creatures like Baku exist in it, it was only "real" in that it was ''her'' world while any other similar world was a "Fantasy World".]]

[[folder:Troy/Touya Ijuin]]
!!Troy/Touya Ijuin
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ce_troy.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/TakahiroMizushima

York's best friend and rival. Like York, Troy is the son of a reknowned martial artist, in his case kenjutsu. His personality being the opposite of York's, the two clashed often. Troy was with York and Miko before they were transported to the soul-world, and was also transported there. However, unlike his friends, Troy lost his memories, and wound up as one of the Twelve Knights.
----
* TheAtoner: Feels bad about fighting (and forgetting) his friends, helping the bad guys, and attacking Miko, and shows this.
** Apparently feels bad about ''every'' past thing in his past. His line upon leveling-up is even "I refuse to go back to what I once was."
%%* CoolSword
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Way to go, Empyreal One. You try to deal with someone who is laying waste to all of your plans with a person who is not only their friend, but also the ''only one the former considers an equal in combat''.
* ObliviousToLove: Seems completely unaware of Anesha's obvious attraction to him.
** However, in the True End route, she does properly confess to him, and he does reciprocate.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to York's Red, complete with appropriate hair colors.
** Although apparently, in their backstory when they first met, Troy was the red to York's blue.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Vivi]]
!!Vivi
->Voiced by: Creator/MaiKadowaki

Eldest and only boy of the triplets, as well as the only one of them who can hear the voice of the "Empyreal One". As such, he is often seen as the one commanding the Twelve Knights. Despite his obvious power and connection to what can be viewed as a dark god, Vivi is a very nice (and somewhat scaredy-) boy.
----
* [[DudeLooksLikeALady Dude Looks Like A Loli]]: ''Seriously.'' Despite being the eldest, he shares the same childlike and feminine appearance of his sisters, complete with a tiara and ribbons.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:He's York and Miko's son, making him a Human-Baku hybrid.]]
* HealingHands: While not the only party member with a healing skill (Aurica, Misha, Marie, Miko, and Mimi also have them), Vivi's ''Sanctuary'' has the largest radius out of all of them (excluding Aurica's EX-1) at two-spaces. To put this in perspective, your side of the battle area is three rows of four spaces each.
* HiddenDepths: Post-game at least when everyone breaks the fourth wall. He's portrayed as a sadistic kid.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cece/Iruma]]
!!Cece/Iruma
->Voiced by: Chihiro Aikawa

The middle child of the triplets and often mediator between Vivi and Mimi, she acts as Vivi's interpreter, though she can be a bit mean to him as well.
----
* DubNameChange: She's named Iruma in Japan, and Cece internationally.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:She's York and Miko's daughter, making her a Human-Baku hybrid.]]
* SinisterScythe: The second one to make use of them.
* [[ThemeTwinNaming Theme Triplet Naming]]: Originally her name rhymed with Eruma's, but she and Eruma both had a DubNameChange so they'd also rhyme with Vivi.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mimi/Eruma]]
!!Mimi/Eruma
->Voiced by: Jun Miruno

The youngest of the triplets, Mimi could very well be the poster-child of SpoiledBrat, given her attitude towards everyone working beneath her, even harassing her older brother from time to time.
----
* CombatMedic: Can attack and heal alongside the others.
* DubNameChange: She's named Eruma in Japan, and Mimi internationally.
%%* GirlishPigtails
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:She's York and Miko's daughter, making her a Human-Baku hybrid.]]
* SpoiledBrat: Very cruel towards everyone, even her own siblings.
* [[ThemeTwinNaming Theme Triplet Naming]]: Originally her name rhymed with Iruma's, but she and Iruma both had a DubNameChange so they'd rhyme with Vivi.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lazarus]]
!!Lazarus
->Voiced by: Masayuki Kato

The Gunslinger of the Twelve Knights, Lazarus has a rather laid-back persona, which often puts him at odds with his co-workers, even surprising the main group. Following a one-on-one duel with York, he joins the team later on. He's later shown to have a perverted streak a mile wide, which ends with him joining [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Prinny]] in attempting to peek in on the girls during the Hot Springs events (and getting beaten up).
----
%%* CoolShades
* {{Expy}}: Of Winfield from [[VideoGame/AgarestSenki Agarest Senki]].
%%* TheGunslinger
%%* HeroicSacrifice
%%* LovableSexManiac
* TheRival: To York.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anesha]]
!!Anesha
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ce_anesha.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Amika Takahashi

The sole woman of the Twelve Knights, Anesha loves bloody battles, even having gotten the nickname of 'Goddess of Carnage'. It's somewhat obvious she's developed feelings for Troy, though he doesn't seem to notice.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:Despite her supposed artificial nature, she ends up in the "Real World" in the True End. In combat she often mentions draining the energy from her foes when regaining AP, implying a slightly vampiric nature as well.]]
* BloodKnight: You did read her profile, right? She's basically a human [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]].
* NavelDeepNeckline: Her default outfit has a plunging neckline that reaches her stomach.
* SinisterScythe: The first member of the team to use one.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Raizen]]
!!Raizen
->Voiced by: Hiroshi Shimukuma

Don't let his gray hair deceive you, Raizen is an accomplished swordsman. Among the Twelve Knights, he's the calm, rational person of the group. Meu actually mistakes him for her own grandfather.
----
%%* {{BFS}}
* TheBigGuy: Physical looks aside, his best stat is Vitality, meaning he gets tons of health upon level-up.
* CoolOldGuy: Looks to be in his 60/70's, can still kick ass alongside the best of them.
* CoolSword: And when he summons it, you can hear rumbling.
%%% * HeroicSacrifice
* ThoseTwoGuys: Has this sort of dynamic with Lazarus.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Augustine]]
!!Augustine
->Voiced by: Shigeru Shibuya

If a group has to have at least one pyscho on its team, Augustine fits the bill, his own battle stance showing him wobbling around all over the place. He's got a loud, arrogant persona, which usually leads to everyone chewing him out.
----
%%* ChewToy:
* ReverseGrip: How he holds his knives.
%%* SlasherSmile
* WakeUpCallBoss: His Slashing Viper EX can inflict incapacition, which, outside of an item or two certain skills, can't be easily healed and it hits for a wide area. This teaches you to not stick with the default lined up formation and to pace yourself during boss fights to prevent giving them their EX skills.
** Becomes even more egregious if you're aiming for the True Ending. If you even ''touch'' him before the fight in Pragma, you're locked out of the True End path. The lesson there being that for many, but not all, bosses [[SheatheYourSword the best solution is to wait it out]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Judas]]
!!Judas
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ce_judas.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Takayuki Sakazume

The leader of the Twelve Knights, he's the one taking commands from the triplets and relaying them to the others. Among the triplets, though, he's considerably close to Vivi, acting as a surrogate father or big brother to him.
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Often the only one who defends Vivi.
* BlackKnight: Minus the helmet, and with some gold trim on his armor.
%%* CoolSword
* MeaningfulName: {{Lampshaded}} during the post-game. When the triplets ask him why he'd betray them.
--> '''Judas''': Stop looking at me! What did you expect from me?! My name is JUDAS, for crying out loud!
* TheStoic: Doesn't show emotion too much, making it tough to tell what he's thinking.
** NotSoStoic: Post-game at least where ''everyone'' [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall.]] All the stress from the game's events gave him a ''gastric ulcer.''
--> '''Judas''': Just call me Judas the Jewel, rebelling against his pure conscience! *blows raspberry*
