Click here to see Yumo in Dusk Diver 2.
A normal high school girl, who suddenly finds herself turned into a guardian protecting the mortal and spirit realms from mutual destruction. In the second game, she's formally become the Diver of Ximending, a human version of the Guardians.
- Bag of Spilling: Downplayed. In 2, the power Yumo gained from Leo, Bahet, and Vieda has been extracted from her, stripping her of some abilities. As a tradeoff, they can now directly aid her in battle.
- Battle Cry: In the Japanese dub, she cries out "Kono Kono Kono!" when she does her Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs moves. The frequency of her shouts increases as her punches pick up speed. The second game retains this, though the move is now an SP skill named "Combo Punch".
- Diving Kick: Fond of this, as it's a staple in her heavy attacks. The second game doesn't change much, with many of her combo moves starting or involving kicks from the air.
- Enemy Mine: In Dusk Diver 2, she and the others have to work alongside Shoel after Vandaks betrayal. She's... less than thrilled. She's hostile towards him the second she sees him in the lab.Yang Yumo: Leo! Why is this idiot here?!
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Yumo starts the game as a regular high-school girl who gets dragged into Youshanding by accident and gets asked to protect Ximending since she accidentally stole some of Leo's power. Midway through the game, she's more or less the city's protector, especially when Nemea starts causing trouble.
- Golden Super Mode: D. Armament changes Yumo's outfit and turns the glowing blue part of her hair bright yellow. While in this state, the range of her attacks increases as does her attack power while also regenerating health.
- Guest Fighter: Appears as an optional DLC boss fight in Luminous Avenger iX 2.
- Instant Costume Change: In D. Armament mode, Yumo's outfit instantly changes into a somewhat more revealing one, much to her embarrassment. She can gain this costume for herself after completing all the Link sidequests.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: Supernatural empowerment aside, most of her fighting experience comes from television and movies.
- Ms. Fanservice: When transformed at least. The outfit she gets exposes some of her body at the hips and torso area. Also shows off one of her thighs. In the second game, it eventually shows even more skin later in the story.
- Ordinary High-School Student: In the first game, Yumo is in her last year of high school and balances it with her new life as Ximending's Diver. By the time of the second game she's graduated and is now attending college.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: Upon becoming a Diver, Yumo's hair grows longer and most of it glows fiery blue. It changes color again in D. Armament mode where the blue parts turn bright yellow and her normal brown hair turns green.
- Primal Fear: For Yumo it's heights. In the second game, every time Bette brings up the idea of flying to get somewhere faster, Yumo suggested walking or taking the bus.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Her first reaction to the revealing D. Armament outfit is met with embarrassment to the point she exclaims she will never get married because it makes her look like an exhibitionist.
- Shock and Awe: She gets lighting attacks in the second game. She can shoot lighting spheres and cause lighting to erupt from the ground when sliding to shock the various enemies. Even some of her normal attacks have lighting in them.
- Skyward Scream: Does this in the second game when Yusha/Yuxia is kidnapped by Vandak.
- Spanner in the Works: To Nemea. She became a Diver purely by chance after accidentally absorbing Leo's power. Odds are the Big Bad's plan would have continued without interference if Yumo hadn't wound up in Youshanding in the first place.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: Develops these when entering her Diver form.
- Token Human: The sole human among Tumaz Mart's employees, who are all Kunlun.
Liu Yuxia
Click here to see Yusha in Dusk Diver 2.
- Voiced by Amber Guo (CH), Yuina Yamada (JP)
Yumo's best friend, who she tries her best to keep from getting roped up in the madness and dangers in Youshanding.
- Big Eater: She helps out the Tumaz Mart by consuming large amounts of about-to-expire unsold stock. In the second game, during a dinner party hosted by Mr. Shoel of Hesperia, most of her attention is on the all-you-can-eat buffet.
- Big "WHAT?!": Does this in at the end of side mission in Dusk Diver 2 when finding out she forgot her wallet and snacks at the Tumaz Mart. Her portait even shows that her eyes have spiraled.
- Dub Name Change: The localized version changes her last name to "Yusha".
- Forgetful Jones: Is definitely this. She forgets and loses her wallet many times in the first game causing Yumo to help find it or pay moeny for stuff. Not as often in the second game but still happens. In the second game, she had some nougat biscuits she wanted to share with Yumo and the others. While waiting for them, she heard about a meat bun sale and rushed to get in line. She left her wallet and the bag with the biscuits in the store.
- Muggle Best Friend: She's a close friend to Yumo, but our main character has the truth about Kulunians hidden away from her. However, it gets averted by the time she finds about Yumo's secret, when it turns out she possesses the same ability to interact with the supernatural like Yumo.
- Ordinary High-School Student: Was just meeting up with Yumo to hang out after school, until the both of them are plunged into the dark world.
- The Team Normal: Is about the only one in the entire group that has no remarkable powers to speak of, borrowed or innate. Until the climax, at least.
Kunlunians
In General
Beings from the spirit plane, one of three realms of existence alongside those of mortals and chaos.
- Animal Motifs: They all have a resemblance to mundane animals, in their fashion choices in humanoid forms, or their "cursed" forms.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: The state that Yumo finds Bahet and Le Viada in when she first meets them. Luckily, she can easily beat them back into their senses, which is especially helpful when Nemea brainwashes them both again, and even does the same to Leo.
- Promoted to Playable: In the first game they could be summoned by Yumo to help her in combat. In the second game they're playable characters alongside Yumo.
- Spirit World: Their realm of origin.
Boss
Click here to see Boss in Dusk Diver 2.
- Voiced by Jui-Chin Wang (CH), Arisa Shida (JP)
The head guardian spirit of all of Ximending, taking a mostly a supervisory and support role by providing advice, information, and useful items—at a price.
- Animal Motifs: Bears. Her vessel in the mortal realm is as a statue of one.
- Attack Drone: When Yumo does a special attack with Boss active as a guardian, she summons 4 bear-shaped drones to aid her in the heat of combat.
- Everyone Has Standards: In Dusk Diver 2 when Bette knocks over and spills a drink onto the floor, she decided to simply soak it up with a rag and put it back into the cup. Boss then says that even she wouldn't go that far to save money.
- Gadgeteer Genius: She creates and sells the numerous consumable items Yumo can use in combat, the D. Arms mode for her necklace, and quite a lot more useful creations like automated turrets.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: Her eyes glow yellow when she's angry in Dusk Diver 2.
- Hates Rich People: She has little patience for rich people and doesn't want them in her store.
- I Was Quite the Looker: During an argument with Vieda, Boss claims her actual body has some curves and is more beautiful than the celebrity.
- Mission Control: Serves as this for the team. She communicates with everyone through a hologram.
- Mutually Exclusive Party Members: With Nemea. Boss can join Yumo in battle in the PC version whereas Nemea is available only on the console versions of the game.
- Noodle Incident: She had a body at some point, but an incident in the past forced her to use a ceramic bear as a substitute. It's implied she lost a great deal of power when Nemea caused trouble some years ago.
- Running Gag: A Link sidequest chain sees her ranting to a supplier about missing some backup bodies.
- Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Views the supernatural in a scientific manner, due to her previous job as a researcher.
- Version-Exclusive Content: Available as a summonable guardian in the PC version.
Leo

Click here to see Leo in Dusk Diver 2.
- Voiced by Poko Ko (CH), Ryota Takeuchi (JP)
A stone lion Guardian assigned to protect Ximending, while simultaneously working as an employee in KumaMart. He is a man with a great heart and prides himself in helping those in need. His weapon is a Pile Bunker with the name "Pile Bunker: Howling Lion".
- Animal Motifs: Unsurprisingly, lions. Aside from his form when Yumo is borrowing his power, he has a lion-shaped tie clip in his human form.
- A God I Am Not: Despite coming from a race that was worshipped as gods in the past, Leo does not see himself as one.
- Anti-Armor: He specializes in breaking through enemy super armor with powerful blows. Fittingly, his weapon was inspired by tools made for boring and penetrating hard surfaces and objects like rocks.
- The Big Guy: Burly and tough-looking on top of being the tallest member of the cast.
- Counter-Attack: His special skill allows him to block and counter attack.
- Energy Ball: Leo can throw one in his extra summon attack, but it counts as Awesome, but Impractical because Yumo has to be far away from her enemies for it to hit.
- Fighter, Mage, Thief: Fighter. He is the most physically imposing of the three guardians, his attacks focus on all-out offense and breaking through enemy armour, and they are all almost entirely at close-range.
- Ground Pound: Emerges in the air and creates a shockwave by slamming his pile bunker on the ground after Yumo does her Heavy Attack 3note or an aerial summon.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Starts acting very aggressively in Chapter 9 after learning he can't break any barriers and starts getting snappy at Yumo and the others. It's the first sign that Nemea's trying to make him Brainwashed and Crazy and he's actively fighting off her influence.
- Pile Bunker: His weapon of choice.
- Trademark Favourite Food: Sweets. He constantly has an almost-completely chewed up lollipop in his mouth in both human and cursed form, and one of Yumo's one-on-one conversations with him reveals he's embarrassed to eat alone at cafes and sweet shops, for his thuggish and intimidating appearance.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: In chapter 5 when looking for Bo Yin in the underground passage, everyone sees some faceless mannequins in maid outfits. Leo, clearly shaken-up, says that they look creepy. Afterwards, Yumo says that one of them looked at them. Leo gives a high pitched scream and tells her to knock it off.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Like Bahet, the DLC swimsuit has him shirtless. This gets emphasized in Dusk Diver 2 due to the graphical upgrades making those muscles look more defined. Also in Dusk Diver 2, he gets shirtless when taking clothing damage.
- Yakuza: Mistaken for one in the localized version, much to his dismay. In the Chinese version, he is mildly irritated when others make fun of him by calling him a "thug", because of his gruff appearance.
Bahet

Click here to see Bahet in Dusk Diver 2.
- Voiced by Shao-Lun Lu A.K.A. "Mr. XY" (CH), Masahiro Yamanaka (JP)
A flying fox Kulunian wandering in the human realm. He becomes a fellow colleague to Yumo and Leo after they help rid him of his corruption. His weapons are a scythe named "Echo Scythe: Screaming Fox" and an electric guitar. Due to his interests in human music, especially with Rock & Roll, he developed a fighting style that incorporates deafening music produced by his instrument.
- Animal Motifs: Bats most of the time. Sometimes fox based themes are applied to him due to being a flying fox.
- Bat Out of Hell: His cursed form is a giant bat.
- Blood Sucking Bats: Subverted. Bahet corrects Boss for calling him a "young vampire", and states that he is a vegetarian.
- Boomerang Come Back: He can throw his scythe like one or make it orbit around him to do a Herd-Hitting Attack before it comes back to him.
- Damage Over Time: His attacks inflict a status effect that deals periodic slashes and hinders super armor regeneration on its target.
- Fighter, Mage, Thief: Thief. He has some of the fastest and widest-reaching attacks of the three guardians, and all have a chance to pull in enemies for Yumo to dispatch much more easily.
- Herd-Hitting Attack: One of his main advantages is the wide reach of his move-set, which also conveniently pulls scattered enemies together for Yumo to beat up all at once.
- Literal-Minded: Is taken aback when he reads things like "Kappamaki," unaware it's referring to cucumbers than the actual mythological creatures.
- Musical Assassin: He also utilizes an electric guitar to blast enemies with rock-and-roll so loud the soundwaves cause physical damage. His final upgrade has Yumo joining him for a deadly jam session.
- Sinister Scythe: His main weapon.
- Sleepyhead: As a nocturnal animal adapting a human lifestyle, he finds it hard to stay awake during the day. Sometimes, Yumo has to wake him up when she summons him. By the end of the game, he managed to overcome this obstacle.
- Spectacular Spinning: A lot of his movesets involves spinning himself or his scythe around.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Fruits. Papaya Milk in particular will wake him up instantly.
Le Viada

Click here to see Le Viada in Dusk Diver 2.
- Voiced by Angel Lin (CH), Atsumi Tanezaki (JP)
An extremely popular and prolific movie star and model, who is secretly a Kunlunian with an interest in humans' lives. She takes some time off her busy, star-studded career to help Yumo maintain the balance and peace between the mortal and spirit realms, with the help of her water powers and a massive arsenal of firearms.
- Animal Motifs: Fish and aquatic life. Both her cursed form and her original form resemble a goldfish; her real appearance is like a giant, prawn-like sea dragon; and in her humanoid form, she has accessories shaped like fish skeletons.
- Armor-Piercing Attack: Her attacks bypass super armor, dealing direct damage to enemy health.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: It's revealed in 2 that among the supernatural Kunlunians in the Tamsui River, Le Viada reigns supreme because she's the most powerful of them all. She specifically states that any one of them can easily overpower a human but she's leagues beyond them.
- Battle in the Rain: Her first boss fight takes place in heavy rain, as the majority of Youshanding is flooded to the roofs under her influence.
- BFG: Her anti-tank rifle. It's nearly as long as Yumo is tall.
- Fighter, Mage, Thief: Mage. She is notably the only guardian with almost entirely ranged attacks, and focuses largely on using her excessive amounts of firepower to dispatch foes, especially those that move too quickly and erratically for close-range attacks.
- Gratuitous English: Presumably due to being involved in foreign productions as well as local, she uses a lot of English words. When using her combination attack with Yumo, she also gets into it.
- Guns Akimbo: She uses dual pistols for the majority of her attacks, given the situational nature or sheer impracticality of her other firearms like sniper rifles.
- Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Despite her skill in every other aspect of show business from modeling, public speaking, and acting, she has horrific singing skills.
- Important Haircut: At the end of Le Viada's personal sidequest chain in 2, she talks about cutting her hair short to represent her dedicating herself again to show business after having doubts and thinking of quitting, and you can now choose short hair Viada in the costume customization menu.
- Kick Chick: When using melee attacks. Her arms and hands are solely reserved for her guns.
- Land Mine Goes "Click!": She can deploy geyser mines in her human form and rage beast form. These mines can either be triggered by proximity, or detonate by themselves when expired, leaving behind pillars of water sprouts. They are best used against enemies with high mobility, pinning the foe down as they recklessly walk into the mines or geyser. Yumo has access to the same geyser mines as Vadia's special attack, setting 8 mines at one in a 3X3 formation with our heroine positioned at the bottom middle.
- Long-Range Fighter: Notable among the three guardians for her emphasis on ranged attacks.
- Making a Splash: Her elemental theme. In 1, her mines explode into geysers that juggle enemies, for example. In 2, her bullets are all concentrated drops of water fired at high pressure, and her elemental effect, Water Shackle, hampers enemy movements.
- More Dakka:
- In 1, her final upgrade has her joining Yumo in blasting their enemies to oblivion. After Yumo does the initial anti-tank rifle blast, La Vieda will then summon several more automatic weapons and proceed to bombard the battlefield with gunfire. It should be noted that red-hot hails of lead continue to come down several seconds after the animation is done.
- It returns in 2 as her penultimate SP skill, "Collection", where Viada summons the same collection of firearms and sends them up into the air herself. If anything, they've become even more powerful a year later.
- Ms. Fanservice: As befitting a model and movie-star, almost all of her outfits emphasize her... generous curves and proportions.
- Sideboob: Her default outfit has her showing this.
- Walking Armoury: She serves as the Long-Range Fighter in the team because of her large arsenal of weapons. In fact, the game's official website labeled her weapon of choice as "Too many to be recorded", which she proves in her combinational special attack by summoning countless guns that rain bullets from the sky after Yumo blasts the area below her with an explosive anti-tank round.
Chaos Beasts
Nemea (Unmarked Spoilers for Dusk Diver)
Click here Nemea in Dusk Diver 2.
- Voiced by Giiny Shen (CH), Keito Mizukiri (JP)
A mysterious Kunlunian, who takes on the form of a little girl with lion-like traits, much like Leo. Though largely appearing and acting her apparent age, she is much more dangerous than she appears, especially once it's revealed that she is supposed to be maintaining the seal between the dimensions, and is now acting to destroy it.
- Animal Motifs: Like Leo. She explicitly took inspiration from him, hence why she calls him "Uncle".
- Artificial Human: With a dash of Artificial Intelligence. Nemea was created by Kunlun to monitor Youshanding and maintain the seals between it and Ximending.
- Big Bad: She's this for the first game since her actions directly threaten the stability of both Youshanding and Ximending. Notably, Nemea is not doing this out of malicious intent but rather as an attempt to live in Ximending normally.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Due to her nature as a living computer, Nemea doesn't think like a Kunlun or human, much less a Chaost Beast, and therefore has trouble understanding why it is a very bad idea to merge Youshanding with Ximending.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Responsible for putting the three guardians into this state.
- Brought Down to Normal: Because Yumo takes away most of her power at the end of the first game, she's unable to do the feats she was capable of in the first game, though she's still able to resist Youshanding's corruptive influence.
- Cloudcuckoolander: As you might expect from someone who looks and acts like a little kid, she is very easily distracted, and likes watching TV.
- Defeat Means Friendship: After Yumo defeats her for the final time, she joins the rest of the Guardians at the convenience store, and lives the life she wanted in Ximending. In the console versions, this even becomes Defeat Means Playable as she becomes one of Yumo's partners.
- Heroic Sacrifice: When Yumo almost dies in 2, Nemea decides to give her her life force so she can survive. Thankfully, Nemea is brought back to life in the epilogue.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: After spending hundreds of years with the task of maintaining the seal between dimensions, Nemea took one look at Ximending and decided she wanted to try her hand at the things humans did. While understandable, this also causes her to try and break down the seal between Youshanding and Ximending, which has disastrous consequences. In 2, she gets her wish and is now a normal human girl, save for lingering traces of her heritage like her natural resistance to Youshanding's corruptive influence.
- Sympathy for the Devil: After learning her origins, Yumo, Bahet, and Viada can't help but feel sorry for her.
- Trademark Favourite Food: French Fries.
- Tyke Bomb: She was created explicitly to help maintain the separation of the worlds, but at some point, she gained sentience and longed to visit Ximending. Since she can't leave Youshanding and her skewed morality because of her nature as a computer program, Nemea decided the best way to enter Ximending was to merge it with Youshanding.
- Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: Nemea is a child and the main villain of the game while Yang Yumo is a teenager and one of the main heroes.
- One-Winged Angel: Transforms into a giant lion during the last fight.
- Power Incontinence: Because of her unique nature, Nemea can manipulate both Dragon Vein and Chaos Beast energy. While this sounds wonderful on paper, that's only if she is the one using said power. Yumo, a regular human, can't handle that power and results in her going through immense pain and losing all her powers in the second game.
- Version-Exclusive Content: Available as a summonable companion in console versions of the game.
- Villain Protagonist: The entire plot happens because of her desire to visit and make friends in Ximending like the rest of the cast.
Chaos Beasts
Creatures born of Chaos, they are mindless, violent beasts who crave nothing more than senseless destruction of anything and everything. The Kunlunian Guardians task themselves with controlling their endless numbers, and keeping both spirit and mortal planes safe.
- Action Bomb: Omega type Spherical Chaos Beasts blow themselves up with a short delay when they detect Yumo through touch. Their explosions harm both friend and foe, so it's encouraged in Boss's Chaos Beast Report to take advantage of their Friendly Fire properties.
- Demonic Possession: Able to possess humans. They make them do things such as attack others, steal things and... trying to get people to buy Ballpoint pens in one side mission. Yes, really. In the second game, possessed humans (called possessed) are spread out all over the hub world as optional fights.
- Cyborg: In the second game, chaos beasts with mecha enhancments will show up later in the game. Some of them run up to the opponent and explode when low on health.
- Law of Chromatic Superiority: There are three tiers of Chaos Beasts, differentiated by their colours and changes to the base model.
- Pink/Orange - Alpha type Chaos Beasts. Have no special abilities to speak off, and very simple, predictable attack patterns.
- Blue - Beta type Chaos Beasts. Generally have ranged attacks, faster and more damaging attacks, and more health. Their super armour also regenerates.
- Green - Omega type Chaos Beasts. Have even more of the above, and unless you use especially powerful attacks that completely destroys their super armour, it regenerates almost instantly.
- Horde of Alien Locusts: They have little signs of intelligence, and mostly just exist to destroy and kill.
Dusk Diver 2
Megrez
- Affectionate Nickname: Yumo calls him "Mister Meg".
- Bespectacled Cutie: Is an attractive young male scientist with glasses.
- Brainy Brunette: He a researcher for Kunlun and able to make various types of Dragon Vein technologies. He's the one who made Yumo's custom gear.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: His soft features give him the appearance of a girl. His feminine sounding voice adds onto this. Most players won't really know it's a guy until Yumo starts using "him" and "Mr." pronouns after the training stage. Even Lola mistakes him for a "Pretty Lady"
Meng Zhang
- Even Evil Has Standards: While he wanted the Tumaz Mart group out of the way so his plans can succeed, he didn't think it was necessary for Vandak to absorb the Boss.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Boss and Leo don't like working with him due to his unsavory tactics.
- The Unfought: Just like Shoel, he doesn't get a boss fight or a cutscene battle.
Dark Diver (D.D.)
- Ambiguously Brown: She has light brown skin. She's not said to be of any race.
- Doomed Hometown: Vandak destroyed her homeland. This is the reason she chased him to Youshanding.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: She joins the team during the last couple of chapters to help out against Vandak and Typhon.
- Flaming Hair: Like Yumo, her hair glows and resembles fire when in Youshanding.
- Flashstep: Instead of dashing or dodge rolling, she does this as her dodging action instead.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: Judging from her in game bio, she's able to learn martial arts just by watching TV.
- Loners Are Freaks: Defied. She's not freakish in anyway, nor is she portrayed as such.
- Ms. Fanservice: Rivaling Yumo's outfit in this case. Her torso & hip areas are exposed. The inner thighs and bottom are also shown a fair amount. After becoming playable, the others question if she walks around like that often. She just says it's easy for her to move in.
- Ninja: Is definitely this. More so than Bette. Does the ninja run while in battle and a variation of it when out of battle. She even does hand signs when using one of her special skills. She uses a katana sword when in battle and wears a mask to conceal her face.
- Perpetual Frowner: Her character portrait picture rarely has her smile.
- Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: Has light brown skin and is the only one (besides Typhon and President Ali) who has white hair.
- The Stoic: Shows little to no emotion and never raises her voice to display emotion.
- Teleportation: She does this when using her special skill while locked onto an enemy.
Bette
- Seeing as Fruit theft is a serious crime, shall i chop of your left arm or your right one?
A self-proclaimed ninja that comes from House Leninata to take care of Bahet as his maid. She got lost in Youshanding before being saved by Yumo & Leo. She joins the Tumaz Mart staff and helps with the store.
- Ambiguous Situation: She attacked Viada upon meeting her for reasons unknown. It's implied that she was brainwashed into doing so but there's no clues within the story that supports this.
- Animal Motifs: Bats. She summons bats in many of her attacks and in her pre-battle cutscene. There's a bat clipping on her hip sash and a string with two batwings at the ends of it wrapped around her hairbun.
- Barrage of Bats: During her pre-battle cutscene, she summons a swarm of bats at the player character. She also attacks with one during her boss battle.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: She messes-up some of the tasks around the store which angers and annoys the boss.
- Disproportionate Retribution: And how! Wanted to give out Capital Punishment to a theif just because he stole fruits from May's Fruitshop. Even though May tells her it's not that serious, she was still willing to cut off one of his arms and even gave him the option to choose which one she'll cut. Yumo thankfully tells her there's no need to do that. When in the Tamaz Mart, she says she normally kills theives who target House Leninata, the place she's from.
- Hand Wave: She doesn't assist in the story for the most part due to her injuries from the fight she had with Yumo, Leo & Viada while brainwashed in the begining of the game. It's just to keep her from being playable before beating the story. Though it's odd when it's the last chapter and she still hasn't fully healed. Just how bad were those injuries?
- Serious Business: Too her, stealing fruits is a serious crime. A crime worthy of Capital Punishment.
- Sinister Scythe: Like Bahet, She wields one of these in battle. Special mention goes to Bette's since her Scythe has a tiny wing and big teeth on it.
- Bespectacled Cutie: She's a cute maid who wears glasses.
- Ninja Maid: Has qualifications for it. French Maid outfit, good fighting skills, looks out for and takes care of her master. In the character information, she's even titled "Ninja Maid". Though Yumo Lampshades that she seems more "maid" than "ninja".
- No Sympathy: A fruit theif tells them the reason he stole the fruits. His dad's out of a job and his mom is sick so he wanted to give her something healthy. Bette's not having any of it and wants to harshly punish him.
Typhon
- Big Bad: He's the main villain and the last opponent fought in the story.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Acted like an innocent lost boy who was just looking for his sister. Then showed his true colors on Fort Avalon in which he was working alongside Vandak to absorb Nemea and Yumo's powers to sustain himself. Not caring that his sister (Nemea) seemingly died.
- Redemption Rejection: Near the end of the fight against him, Yumo offers him a chance for forgivness but Typhon coldly rejects the offer.Typhon: You think I want forgivness from a worm?!
- White Hair, Black Heart: Has white hair and is rather cold hearted.
Hesperia
A multi-national technology corporation, specializing in green energy technology for urban centers. They have recently moved into Taiwan during the events of Dusk Diver 2. In General
- Ambiguously Human: They're all Elysians and from a different dimension from Earth and the Kunlunians, so their human appearances are likely just to blend in.
Shoel Gehenna, CEO
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: The game and the cast throw numerous suspicions about his business ventures in Ximending, especially with his project to buy out and remodel numerous historical districts and shops under the justification of improving the city's power grid with his new "green air generators". He's sincere about developing and improving Ximending but he's actually the head of Elysium's Legion operating in the area, so it's more Enlightened Self-Interest with how it helps their army as well as the people.
- Enemy Mine: Has to work with the Tumaz Mart staff... and Meng Zhang after he's betrayed by Vandak. Yumo is not happy or thrilled about this in the least.
- Obviously Evil: You know, if his red eyes and evil looking smile that he has the very first time you see him and the fact that he's a business man didn't give you a clue that he's one of the villains.
- Officer and a Gentleman: As Legion Commander, he has a largely administrative and support role, being incapable of field combat but exceptionally effective at mobilizing and organizing the troops and the infrastructure and operations that keep any large army running.
- The Unfought: He's one of the big players in the story but he's never fought in a cutscene or boss fight. His secretary fights for him instead. Though he admits that he's not much of a fighter.
Raven, Secretary to the CEO
- Ax-Crazy: When in battle at least. She's laughs like a maniac during some of her moves. Especially when in her super mode. When first fought, her picture icon has her hair down over one eye while she's smiling, giving her a crazed look before battle.
- Animal Motifs: Ravens. When she activates her Decsive Burst Mode, raven wings can be seen within her hair. Her Burst Ultimate has flaming ravens coming from the ground.
- Chainsaw Good: Her weapon of choice is an enchanted chainsaw that can split into two at a moment's notice.
- Chessmaster Sidekick: She's perfectly happy working as Shoel's secretary and doing whatever needs to be done.
- Dual Wielding: Her chainsaw can split in two and she's equally adept at using them in both hands as she is using just one.
- Enemy Mine: Has to work with the Tumaz Mart staff... and Meng Zhang after Shoel is betrayed by Vandak.
- Laughing Mad: Does this when activating her Burst Mode.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's tall, has thigh-high stockings & big boobs. She is definitely this. Her being a Sexy Secretary adds on to it. At one point in the game, Michael even tries to flirt with her slighty. This happened offscreen.
- Perpetual Frowner: Much like D.D. she rarely ever smiles.
- Statuesque Stunner: One of the tallest female characters in the series. She's as tall as Le Viada.
- Zettai Ryouiki: Grade A.
Vandak
- Animal Motifs: Monkeys. His transformaion gives him a monkeys tail and he happens to have some simularities to Sun Wukong.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: He's a professional bussiness man who dresses in a nice red suit and is able to win against the whole team of heroes all by himself.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He betrays both Shoel and Meng Zhang.
- Doppelgänger Attack: Multiple clones of him show-up to attack when fighting in his super mode.
- Monkey King Lite: He fights with a staff that can split into a Three-section staff and he rides a nimbus cloud made out of cubes. His Decsive Burst Mode gives him yellow hair and a monkey tail. When fighting in his Decsive Burst Mode, he makes clones of himself.
Others

- Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Has hair over one of her eyes to give her a shy appearance.
- Prone to Tears: She tends to turn on the water works multiple times when she recieves help from Le Viada and Yumo with clothing ideas. Though it's because she's just happy that they helped out.
