Douglas "Doug" Billingham
Douglas "Doug" Billingham/"Veteran"
Voiced by: Satoshi Mikami (Japanese), Ian Sinclair (English)
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Doug was able to deduce the plan of a criminal and Anthem-user just after some brief glances, and he was completely right about how the crook wanted to escape.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Doug is very competent at his job, but he has a tendency to slack off whenever he can. This of course annoys Kirill who is a lot more energetic and has a gung-ho attitude.
- Cool Car: Doug's car resembles a DMC DeLorean and has a lot of interesting gadgets.
- Deadpan Snarker: Doug has a tendency for this, although it usually manifests in trolling Kirill with a completely straight face (at least as long as Kirill is looking).
- Shout-Out: Doug's special bullet sequence is similar to Kaze's Magun firing in Final Fantasy: Unlimited.
- Thinking Tic: Whenever he's thinking, he tends to tap two of his fingers against his head.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Doug is often seen munching on anpan and/or drinking canned coffee.
- Troll: In episode 4 Doug pranks Kirill into believing he's going to give a congratulatory speech at his inauguration party. There was no party. And at the end of the episode he lets Kirill believe he's going to keep an eye on Yuri, when he and everyone else know she's a robot. Even the narrator himself outright admits that Doug is "kind of an asshole."
- Two Girls to a Team: Inverted, as Doug and Kirill are the only male detectives in Seven-O.
Kirill Vrubel
Kirill Vrubel/"Perm"/"Okappa"/"Buzz-Cut"
Voiced by: Kōhei Amasaki (Japanese), Micah Solusod (English)
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite his seeming idiocy, Kirill is surprisingly knowledgeable in the field of genetics, having written a detailed scientific paper on the subject as a teenager to earn a scholarship.
- Clueless Deputy: Everyone thinks he's this until he shows that he's actually a lot smarter than he looks.
- Color-Coded Characters: Purple.
- Curtains Match the Window: Light purple hair and eyes.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Kirill's femininity is commented on both In-Universe and by the Lemony Narrator. This may serve as foreshadowing regarding his 'sister'.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Originally Kirill's nickname was Rookie, but as soon as Katherine arrived (the very next day!), he got the nickname "Okappa" or "Perm" both relating to his hairstyle. Kirill naturally protests, pointing out that his hair is not even a perm anyway. Eventually they settle on "Kariage"/"Buzz-cut" (since his hair is cropped short in the back).
-
Fake Russian: Kirill Vrubel is a Russian name (surname is originally Polish, but name is spelled by Russian rules). No other detail would point at his nationality, or whether the same countries even exist in the world of the story. - Fair Cop: Because he's a Bishōnen.
- Ham and Deadpan Duo: Doug (Deadpan) and Kirill (Ham).
- Heroic Wannabe: Kirill may be good intentioned, but his skills as a police officer leave a lot to be desired. It's not until he's brought into Seven-O he actually starts being useful.
- Hidden Depths: Kirill actually has a good knowledge about genetics. Though, he says that he stuidied it only to pay for school.
- Living MacGuffin: Kirill's DNA contains the crux of the Big Bad's plans.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Kirill immediately notices something is wrong with Doug when, at the mention of criminal Good-Looking Joe, he starts immersing himself in the case instead of keeping his distance and slacking off where he can, as he normally does.
- The revelation that Kirill knows a lot about genetics, to the point where he wrote a paper on it, is treated like this so it can be Played for Comedy.
- Pretty Boy: Kirill is so girly even the narrator calls him "girl-faced".
- In episode 8, in a passing scene, one of the students he and Max are interviewing thinks he's a girl and asks him on a date. Then in episode 10, this gets taken to its logical extreme after a similar incident happens with Gus.
- Secret-Keeper: Subverted. Kirill tries to be this in regards to Yuri being a robot. Except it's actually an Open Secret that everyone already knows, and Kirill only thinks he needs to keep up The Masquerade because of Doug messing with him.
- Shout-Out: Kirill's plan to distract Cyrus in episode 1 is to strip completely naked, emerge from smoke and claim he's a time traveler.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As Kirill unfortunately finds out in his first week at work, the job of a detective isn't as action-packed as he first assumed and he's repeatedly threatened with being fired for leaving his post in attempts to be a hero on duty.
- Tempting Fate: Kirill downright tells other police officers to stop tempting it when they go looking for a buried corpse. He was completely right.
- Two Girls to a Team: Inverted, as Doug and Kirill are the only male detectives in Seven-O.

- Prom Is for Straight Kids: She is unable to attend prom with her transgender best friend and implied her First Love, notably while she is in a suit and her friend is in a dress. The discrimination that they faced goes on to fuel her own dislike of proms and similar gatherings, blaming it for the fall of Connor and Max's ascent as an Ice Queen she is in the present.
