Clay

• Chivalrous Pervert: Flirts with anything that has breasts, but is a good spirited person.
• Cyborg: Has robotic parts on his neck, as well as a neurologically activated holographic display.

• Super-Soldier: Is an "Exhuman", a human with an enhanced metabolism, immune system, and senses. This is due to a robotic implant on his neck that charges his DNA.

Evan

• Duality Motif: One of his eyes is the demon eye. The other is normal.
• The Cynic: A very negative person. He was targeted by demons that feed on negative emotions because of this.

Lucifer

Leona

Kamiko

• Necessary Drawback: He may be a Reality Warper with a Thought-Controlled Power, and the limits on his powers are those he puts on himself. However, Kamiko is hesitant and insecure, hides his emotions and thus puts huge limits on himself.

Keeno

Sada

Sono

• Curse: Has a curse that takes on a physical form known as Apnea. This being drain her vitality and will kill her off if it does not feed.

Lost in Round 2

Dretos

Florence

Ragdoll

• Dual Wielding: Wields a pair of Sais.
• Expressive Accessory: His scarf changes colour depending on his opponent's (and subsequently his own) emotions. Red = anger and negative emotions, Blue = Sadness or serenity, White = innocence, Yellow = curiosity or happiness.

• The Empath: Taken to the extreme- in fact, he can only reflect others' emotions.
• Fragile Speedster: Very fast and agile, but his body poses the resistance of something like a pillow and will fly very far if a good hit is scored on him.

• Many Spirits Inside of One: A variation: it is made of the fragments of many spirits.
• Mirror Boss: His main fighting schtick- as Ragdoll feels the same emotions as its opponent, fighting more fiercely only makes Ragdoll fight even fiercer.
• No-Sell: Can only be harmed by those with the intention to harm him. If the opponent attacks him but doesn't want to harm him, he is unaffected.
• Off with His Head!: His fate by Huitzi's spear.

Semblance

• Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Refuses to fight Melody when she's falling-down drunk, preferring a fair fight.

• The Quiet One: Talks the least of all the competitors.

• Together in Death: The woman he got attached to died and her soul went to the underworld. And then Semblance gets impaled by a giant clock hand.

Semifinalists

Anxiety

• The Empath: Can sense others experiencing anxiety, fear, stress, etc.
• Involuntary Shapeshifting: Anxiety will shapeshift into Illas (a little girl with a wolf skull on her head) if the "right buttons" are pressed. She'll shapeshift back if someone around her starts feeling tense.
• Jekyll & Hyde: Illas and Anxiety, respectively. Either the innocent little girl or the soul-eating monster will be around at a time.
• Little Girls Kick Shins: "Illas is not terribly violent outside of mild shin kicking when displeased."
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: It was made from the soul of a little girl.
• Skull for a Head
• Snake People: Well, more like Worm Person... with a wolf's skull for a head!
• Terrible Trio: Part of a trio of soul-eating abominations based on Anxiety, Sorrow and Fear. The Porter just decided to send Anxiety to do the job here. After Anxiety is killed, he sends the other two in.
• Your Soul Is Mine!: It devours the souls of people after eating them.

Lil' Jack and Jack

• Bratty Half-Pint: Lil' Jack
• Came Back Wrong: Lil' Jack tried to revive his bro Jack... it didn't turn out very well, and now Jack's soul is trapped in Limbo.

• Sibling Team
• Spell Book: Lil' Jack carries one.
• Spoiled Brat: Lil' Jack is very selfish and only cares about bringing his brother back. Everyone else is nothing to him.

• The Voiceless: Jack can't even talk because his soul is in limbo.
• Wise Beyond Their Years: Even though Lil' Jack is ten, he knows a fair bit about sorcery, bionics and even the underworld.
  "My education's a little bit advanced if that's what you're trying to say."

Finalists

• Musical Assassin
• The Power of Rock: Justified as her Amp Arms fire sonic waves when she rocks out.
• Punny Name: Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do...
• Reincarnation: She is the reincarnation of Harmony Fasola, the person who fought and sealed the Ninth Symphony
• Unskilled, but Strong: Packs a punch in combat, but relies too much on raw force and lacks finesse.
