!!Akiba Freedom Fighters
They are a group of {{Otaku}} that always hangs out at the MOGRA cafe in Akiba. They act as a volunteer group and does things like pick up litter, guide tourists, and occasionally help keep Akihabara peaceful by intervening in fights.
!!! Tropes shared by the group
* BadassCrew: They can handle their own in fights, even with the physically enhanced synthisters.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Aside from [[BareFistedMonk Tohko]], none of them use anything resembling an actual weapon.
* JumpedAtTheCall: As soon as everyone learns of what happened to the protagonist and Shizuku's mission with the synthisters, they immediately offer their help.
* {{Otaku}}: To varying degrees, the most hardcore being Kati and Nana.
* TrueCompanions: They will look out for each other through thick and thin. The first thing the protagonist gets from the other members are messages of worry when he doesn't show up at MOGRA for three days.

!!!Tropes for Nanashi/the protagonist
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_9011.JPG]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaOhsaka (Japanese), Creator/SpikeSpencer (English)

* BigEater: Becomes one after becoming a synthister. One comment on the in-game social media site Pitter stated he ate a bunch of meals in under 20 minutes.
* ChickMagnet: He somehow becomes one after the start of the story. Tohko, Shizaku, Shion, Rin, Nana, The officer you pay your bail with, the arena manager Antoinette, all the girls who crush on you as your reputation increases, and even (though she doesn't have a route) Kati. All in all, not bad for a hopeless otaku.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He frequently gets jokey dialogue options that make him come off as this (though if you choose too many of them early on [[PressStartToGameOver you can get yourself killed before the game even properly starts.]])
* FaustianRebellion: He uses his Synthister powers to fight the people that made him a Synthister.
* HelloInsertNameHere: His official name is Nanashi[[note]]literally meaning "no name"[[/note]], but the player can change his name to whatever.
* TheHero
* HumanoidAbomination: On top of being a Synthister, Shizuku suggests he's "something beyond a Synthister."
* IdiotHero: Many of his dialogue options came as this.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Aside from the common weapons such as boxing/combat gloves and wooden katanas/batons, he can hurt synthisters with things like posters, plushies, and glow sticks.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's a synthister, an artificially created vampire. Unlike other synthisters who suck life energy, he can apparently re-energize by simply eating a lot.
* SuperReflexes: This, and SuperStrength, are the perks of being a Synthister.
* TaughtByExperience: One of his dialogue options is to say he picked up a few combat skills "from the fires of Tohko's wrath."
* UnskilledButStrong: His fighting style amounts to GoodOldFisticuffs, and he is usually very clumsy with any weapon he picks up. That said, as a Synthister, his physical ability is much higher than normal.

[[folder:Nana]]
!!!'''Nana'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaSuzaki (Japanese), Creator/CindyRobinson (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_9022.JPG]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Subverted. She gives off the impression at first, but she shows her true colors later on. Especially if you do her side missions.
* BrotherSisterIncest: Discussed. She starts to bring up the idea in one dialog (without explicitly saying so), only to decide that it's something that's only cool in anime and do a verbal backpedal. Doesn't stop her from idle fantasies involving the Broadwarrior, though.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Didn't get along with Shizuku when she found her hanging out with her Brother.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Parodied. Despite everyone knowing her name, she's frequently referred to as simply "the sister."
* {{Hikikomori}}: Doesn't like to spend a lot of time outdoors, and will often refuse to accompany you on her fetch quests. It stems from a fight/argument she had with some school friends, causing her to withdraw from the rest of society, which you can help fix at the end of her side quests if you want.
* PungeonMaster: She makes a load of bro puns when addressing our brotagonist in the English localization.
* VerbalTic: In the English dub, she makes a lot of bro puns, e.g. Brotagonist, Brovert, and Brobocop.

* GirlishPigtails: Reaches up to her hips.

!!!'''Shion Kasugai'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ErikoNakamura (Japanese), Creator/MeganHollingshead (English)

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her business suit.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's easily the bustiest of the game's heroines and a strong fighter in her own right.

* DanceBattler: Some of her combos ends with her using Ballet.

[[folder:Antagonists]]
!!!'''Soga Kagutsuki'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaTakeuchi (Japanese), Creator/RichardEpcar (English)

* {{BFS}}: His Izayoi. It gets better when he unlocks its Izayoi Oboro mode.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He shows up far, far earlier than his official introduction, shadowing Nanashi and Kati while on their shopping trip. It's very easy just to dismiss him as another "I'm such a mysterious wanderer" cosplayer at that point.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: His species, the Nighteaters, are dying out. To save them, he is attempting to harvest the Life Energy of the humans of the world, starting with those in Akihabara.]]

!!!'''Zenya Amo'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Daichi Kanbara (Japanese), Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith (English)

* LargeHam: Increasingly as he reveals his beliefs about {{Otaku}} and his agenda, and especially during his VillainousBreakdown.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Claims he will level up after defeating Nanashi and Shizuku, and that his stats are higher than other "mob characters".
* {{Otaku}}: While this isn't immediately apparent, it becomes clear after fighting him in the battle arena, and [[spoiler: when you later encounter him hunting Synthisters in Shion's Route]]
* StarterVillain: The first bad guy you meet and serves as a mid-game boss.
* TechnicolorBlade: The blade of his weapon, Crimson Death, is red.
* ThisCannotBe: Once you defeat him in the arena.
