The Omni Team

Ben Tennyson/Ben 10

Benjamin Kirby "Ben" Tennyson (Ben 10)

"It's Hero Time!"

The Protagonist of the Ben 10 franchise. Initially, a regular ten-year-old kid, Ben Tennyson happened to accidentally stumble upon the Omnitrix, a powerful watch-like alien device, which promptly attached to his wrist. After discovering that it allows him to turn into various alien creatures, each with their own set of powers, he quickly takes advantage of the situation by becoming a Super Hero, dealing with various human, alien, and supernatural threats. Though initially immature and unable to use his powers correctly, he gradually learns, eventually becoming a Living Legend and saving the universe several times.

All-Loving Hero: For all the jerkassery he is capable of, Ben always does his best to help and save the people around him. He throws this away whenever it involves Vilgax.
Ascended Fanboy: He was a big fan of superheroes as a whole long before he became one himself.
Berserk Button:
- Trying to hurt any innocent people. Then he will get serious and beat the crap out of you. God help you if you actually succeeded in harming someone...especially Makoto once they start dating.
- Vilgax being anywhere in his presence will set Ben off.
Big Brother Instinct: Hurting Gwen is a great way to get on his shit list.
Big Ol' Eyebrows: These originated from Ben's grandfather, Max, was passed down to Ben's father, Carl, and uncle, Frank, and inherited by him.
Blood Knight: Especially when he was younger he loved to fight whenever he transformed. This still extends when he gets older as he's more subdued but still enjoys the thrill of fighting multiple aliens.
Boxing Lessons for Superman: The reason for the Brought Down to Badass entry below; starting with Alien Force, Ben started learning some basic martial arts from Gwen, and apparently received basic Plumber training. As shown in "And Then There Were None", this is something all Bens (including No-Watch Ben) apparently have in common.
Brilliant, but Lazy: It's hinted several times that Ben is smarter than his attitude would suggest; he has an almost photographic memory, shows resources to adapt when the Omnitrix gives him the wrong alien, and can get an extremely good grade when he is working seriously at school. Khyber even admitted at one point he was a "smart kid." He outwitted Tsubaki in a bet to graduate from online school by using Grey Matter.
Brought Down to Badass: On occasions, Ben has been separated from the Omnitrix, unable to use it or merely staying in human form. He has sown off acceptable fighting skills as a human and is capable of dodging lasers.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's a seemingly goofy, immature teenager who constantly cracks jokes even in the middle of a fight. Yet he's also acknowledged as an incredibly competent superhero, with Patelliday outright referring to him as the Plumber's ace. Even the other teen heroes consider him to be the best at the business.
Butt-Monkey: Bit of a one with Makoto.
Character Catchphrase: "It's Hero Time!" He also frequently says "Aw Man!" when a situation is bad or the Omnitrix gives him the wrong alien (usually Grey Matter).
Chronic Hero Syndrome: One of his most defining traits from the very beginning; even before he got the Omnitrix, Ben had an almost obsessive desire to help people around him whenever he can, sometimes at his own expense. This is why he Jumped at the Call when he got the Omnitrix. He takes it so far he is unable to sacrifice anyone (except himself), even if it means saving millions others. He will always try to find a better way if he can.
Civvie Spandex: Though he does call himself a superhero, Ben doesn't wear any special costume, instead merely using his regular clothes. Some of his aliens forms, on the other hand, wear costumes made from his clothes.
Color Motifs: No matter the series, Ben always sports an outfit that somehow incorporates green in it.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Initially more moron with badass moments, but he gets the badass part better as the story goes on.
Destructive Savior: Ben tends to cause massive destruction anytime he practices his super-heroics.
Didn't Think This Through: A notable character trait of him at first, something that many enemies took advantage of.
Easily Impressed: Despite being the owner of quite possibly the most powerful tool in the universe (or multiverse...omniverse?) he can find himself awestruck and captivated by the most mundane of things.
Future Badass: Ben 10,000 is an adult version of him who patrols the entire world, thus making mundane police obsolete.
Genius Bruiser: Relatively, and surprisingly for an Idiot Hero. He frequently manages feats of startling intelligence.
Henshin Hero: Completed with a green flash and a Transformation Sequence for each alien form.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is immature, arrogant, can be quite a Jerkass at times, is not above using his powers for pranks and not unappreciating attention... but if people's lives are on the line, he will throw away everything to save them.
Leeroy Jenkins: Zig-Zagged; He tends to act like this sometimes and does get called out for his lack of thought. Other times he displays surprising cunning and a knack for outside-the-box thinking. Most importantly, he is good at adapting himself to the situation when the Omnitrix doesn't give him the form he intended to have.
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Though not clearly specified, it's implied Ben's personality changes according to the form he has. Most of them only cause relatively minor effects (Big Chill is a bit more of a Deadpan Snarker, Spider-Monkey is more excited, etc.), while others will lead to drastic change (Rath is a Hammy Leeroy Jenkins, Alien X has three personalities, and Ghostfreak can take over his mind if not careful). In "Frogs of War", his new Incursean form Bullfrag has an outspoken attraction for Princess Attea, which he blames on the DNA. Grimlock is far more brutal and lowers Ben's thought process outside of "beat things up."
New Super Power: Gains new alien transformations on a fairly regular basis.
Nice Guy: Apart from being a jerk sometimes, he's kind, forgiving, and can be polite to everyone even though sometimes people get on his bad side.
Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie: He is a Kid Super Hero capable of Voluntary Shapeshifting into various Aliens. Alien Force also makes him a honorary member of the Plumbers and reveals he has some alien blood himself (though not enough to make him significantly different from a regular human).
One-Man Army: Literally.
- Ben can only use one form at the time, but since most of his aliens are more than powerful enough to deal with entire armies it still counts.
Secret Identity: When in other universes, Ben adopts this and has noted it's a bit nostalgic to him.
Strong Family Resemblance: Ben gets his hair color and facial structures from his dad, but he inherited his green eyes from his mother.
Super Hero: He is very insistent on being referred to as such.
Superpower Lottery: The Omnitrix provides Ben with the following abilities:
- Voluntary Shapeshifting/Combo Platter Powers: His main ability provided by the Omnitrix is to turn into various alien creatures, each one with its own set of powers. He started out limited to 10 forms (hence his surname), only to get more and more as the story goes on. By now, he is assumed to possess more than 70 forms.
- Healing Hands: With the Omnitrix's genetic-repair function. This was used to cure the Kaka Clan of their genetic defect preventing them from having more than 100 Kaka at a time.
- Translator Microbes: According to Word of God, this is the reason he is able to communicate with most alien species he meets and be understandable even in alien forms that should logically not be able to talk human language. Some of them however, like Sixsix or Wildmutt, possess a language too complex or bizarre to be translated.
- Multiform Balance: With over 1,000,000 potential aliens with various powers, he could handle any imaginable situation. Theoretically, anyway, thanks to the Omnitrix's tendency to be uncooperative and his own reliance on the Indy Ploy above planning.
Swiss-Army Hero: Ben has a form for a huge variety of situations, and can gain more via plot or planning to better handle the situation he's in.
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Ben lives by this principle and refuses to flat out kill anyone. If they're too dangerous, such as with Kevin's rampage, he will abandon this rule altogether. When it comes to Vilgax, this rule doesn't exist to Ben
Trademark Favorite Food: As a teenager, he has a fondness for smoothies and to a minor extent chili fries.
Transformation Name Announcement: Pops up on occasion.
True Companions: Himself, his family, Rook, Makoto, Tsubaki, Noel, Mai, Max, Robotboy, Jenny, Sari, and Steel.
The Unchosen One: He wasn't supposed to receive the Omnitrix (his grandpa was) and its creator initially considered him unworthy of such a powerful tool. He decided to be a hero anyway.
Weirdness Magnet: Partially justified in that being the wearer of the Omnitrix automatically makes him the target of every alien psycho trying to get it for nefarious purpose, but even without taking this in account, Ben almost systematically ends up in places with aliens, mutants, sorcerers and other strange things are happening.
You Are Not Alone: Like in Alien Force, Grandpa Max tells him that Ben cannot go about being a hero alone, and that he needs to put together a team. It's this reasoning that has Grandpa Max give Ben a house for his new growing team to live in.

Makoto Nanaya

Makoto Acornia Nanaya (BlazBlue)

"SPOON~!"

Deuteragonist of the story, Makoto is a Squirrel Beastkin, giving her incredible physical strength and reflexes. Unfortunately, because of her squirrel-ness she was the victim of extreme Fantastic Racism from many others during her youth. During a mission for Sector Seven, she ended up falling through a Cauldron and ended up in the past eventually revealed to be another timeline. She now lives with Ben in Bellwood, getting used to everything in it. She wields a pair of tonfa before getting upgraded to a pair of gauntlets that have elemental powers.

Action Girl: Par for the course in a Fighting Game series, but Makoto is still a standout even in a a series like BlazBlue;, she is more than willing to throw herself in harm's way to protect those she cares about, and has the skills to get herself out of trouble... most of the time.
Badass Adorable: Awwww, look at those cute little ears and that big bushy tail. Make her angry, and they'll probably be the last thing you'll ever see before you're shot into the next zip code, fist class.
Berserk Button: Mocking her humanity and/or race will get you a sharp vocal retort in seconds (if not a well-placed hit on the jaw), no matter how well she can deflect other insults or taunts. Ben's car is one such casualty of her button pressed by Harangue.
Beware the Nice Ones: Makoto is a silly, friendly, generally whimsical and energetic person, and also appears to be somewhat scatter-brained. However, she makes it clear to Tager, "If, for whatever reason. Noel Vermillion is harmed in any way, I will hunt down that person and make them pay... dearly." This is neither hyperbole nor limited to Noel - attack any of her friends and, unless you're one of them (hi, Carl), you are in for a world of pain. Let's not forget that her Astral Heat involves punching the opponent so hard it shatters the moon.
Big Eater/Hyperactive Metabolism: Due to her Beastkin biology, Makoto tends to eat the most food out of anyone in the team. This has led to her causing the team to get banned from any buffet.
Big Sister Instinct: Makoto makes it clear that hurting her friends is a bad idea. In contrast to her hyperactivity in battle, when said button is pressed, she suddenly gets very serious and quiet in contrast to her regularly ditzy and loud self.
Boisterous Bruiser: A rare female example. She's loud, cheerful, excitable and hits like a bullet train.
Book Dumb: While her physical abilities are outstandingly high, but she has no appreciation for studying.
Boxing Battler: A number of her punches resemble boxing techniques.
Brainy Brunette: Double Subverted. She's a brunette, yes, but she's Book Dumb and can act rather wild... but her collection of street smarts serve her well as an intelligence officer.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Squirrel ears in this case. Makoto's a kid in an adult's body and a (restrained) sexual deviant, but she's a talented and competent Intelligence officer and an equally skilled fighter.
Close-Range Combatant: Unorthodox projectile aside, Makoto's repertoire of attacks have her in arm's reach of the opponent at all times.
Cute Bruiser: Emphasis on the "bruiser" part, her punches can send anyone flying across the area.
Dark and Troubled Past: A result of wall-to-wall Fantastic Racism.
Deadpan Snarker: Far less frequent than Jin and Rachel, but she displays some when she's the sanest person on the block.
Effortless Amazonian Lift: Due to her Beastkin biology, Makoto is able to easily lift many objects others normally cannot.
Extremity Extremist: As befits her boxing concept, most of her attacks are strong punches.
Fetish: Makoto has a lot of turn-ons, ranging from the mundane to the outright bizarre.
Fish out of Temporal Water: Due to falling into the Cauldron, she ends up in Bellwood in the year 2012 and aged backwards to her sixteen-year-old body. She doesn't know what cars are and is constantly amazed by everything that isn't there in 2199.
Fun Personified: Who wouldn't want to hang out with Makoto? Well, besides Hazama...
Genius Ditz: She's quite air-headed and actively hates studying, but she did make it into the Intelligence Department of the NOL, which would obviously require some degree of knowledge and wit.
Genki Girl: The best way to describe her would be "hyper", especially when she's in a fight.
Gut Feeling: One of the sharpest in the entire cast. Makoto almost has a sixth sense about her friends (she can tell if they're in trouble, just not what the trouble consists of) and she can tell if someone is trustworthy.
Hot-Blooded: Almost as much as Ben.
Idiot Hair Antennae: And she's not an idiot.
Lightning Bruiser: Okay defense stats, good mobility, and high offensive power, but tempered by short range.
Little Bit Beastly: She's a Squirrel Beastkin - A half-human hybrid with the ears and tail of a squirrel.
Made of Iron: She's a lot sturdier than her frame implies.
Meaningful Name: "Makoto" (誠) can mean "honesty" or "sincerity", two traits that she exhibits a lot.
Megaton Punch: Her Big Bang Smash in a nutshell. Also at the end of Particle Flare. Her Astral Heat is one so strong, she can send the Weatherheads into space and hit an asteroid as big as the moon, destroying it by impact.
Ms. Fanservice: While her normal outfits and bust size are the most obvious reasons why, a few of Makoto's personality traits are somewhat sexual in nature, making her a different flavor compared to her competition.
Muscles Are Meaningless: Downplayed, as she does have a bit of muscle tone to her but she's still capable of greater feats of strength than her figure would imply. She's capable of creating craters just from impact, broke Ben's car with one punch despite it being reinforced with alien metal, and and carry people like there's no problem. Beastkin are naturally stronger than humans, so that might explain it.
Nice Girl: One of the most notable in the series, with a side order of Fun Personified.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: She's a Boxing Spy Squirrel who is also an Alien Police Officer.
Obfuscating Stupidity: Comes across as this, being a Genius Ditz with the ditz part more evident.
Only Sane Woman: She's a Book Dumb Genius Ditz who tends to think with her heart rather than her head, but she falls into this surprisingly often.
Outdoorsy Gal: It's plenty clear that Makoto would rather be out in the world than stuck in some stuffy office if she can help it.
Plucky Comic Relief: Makoto's presence lightens the mood in many a situation, which is why she makes good Gag Reel fodder. She can and will get serious when the situation demands it, however.
Plucky Girl: If she can stand to rebuild a positive outlook on life in the wake of a lifetime of wall-to-wall Fantastic Racism, you're going to need some heavy ordinance to break her down
Prehensile Tail: She uses her tail to slap her opponent silly, so don't be fooled by how big and fluffy it looks. She can even hover in midair by spinning her tail.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: Much rarer, but also shows. Expect extreme Squee or a nerdgasm if she shows both this and a Playful Cat Smile at the same time.
Ship Tease: with Ben Tennyson. This later becomes reality during the Incursean Occupation of Earth.
Stripperific: Makoto's outfit that she arrived in shows far more skin than what is realistically acceptable. She eventually regains it for private time with Ben.
Street Smart: What Makoto lacks in book smarts she more than compensates for here, with a Gut Feeling instinct that is sharper than anyone else's in the cast.
Theme Naming: Her attack names all deal with outer space.
Trademark Favorite Food: Chestnut parfait.
Undying Loyalty: Makoto would go to the ends of the earth for those she sees as her friends.
Unskilled, but Strong: Her primary means of defeating opponents is punching them, instead of utilizing weapons, magic, or other fancy powers, but she still puts up a solid fight.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Makoto considers Kagura one of her "besties" and is more than willing to work with him, but given the implications of prior encounters she's bitter with him over his constant philandering and is one of the first to "correct" the problem whenever it arises.
Womanchild: While it's not known how old she actually is, she's old enough to partake in high school and then become an army intel unit member afterward. And she's still pretty ditzy and silly, though she's definitely not naive nor lacking common sense.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's absolutely terrified of dogs due to the fact that she's part squirrel and was frequently chased by dogs as a kid. She slowly gets over this thanks to Noel adopting Drei.

Tsubaki Yayoi

Tsubaki Yayoi (BlazBlue)

The second to appear from BlazBlue due to Clockwork looking at Makoto.

Berserk Button: Eating her chocolate. Especially when she's been bottling up her emotions and the chocolate in question was something she's been saving up for months to eat in secret. Alf learned this the hard way.
The Chosen One: She's the one who is able to wield Excalibur.
Paper Fan of Doom: Frequently uses one to dish out Dope Slaps. The other characters often wonder how she gets it to hurt so much.

Noel Vermillion

Noel Vermillion (BlazBlue)

The third girl to come from the future that was brought via Alien X.

A-Cup Angst: Noel tends to have this at times, especially since her arriving in Bellwood deaged her by a few years to when she was attending the academy. When she swaps bodies with Bullet due to Luna, she goes a little crazy at having big boobs.
Berserk Button:
- Do not mess with cute things around her. She can, will, and has chased and shot at anyone who does so. She even scares Decepticons when it's pushed.
- Messing with romance is another of her triggers.
- Heaven help you if you call her a boy. Mad Ben ended up crushed under Funkfreed for one too many times.
  Noel: I am a girl! I am not a crossdresser! Girl! Girl! And you will respect my gender!
Cuddle Bug: If it's cute, adorable, tiny, or anything that will earn her attention and is able to, Noel will cuddle it to heaven and back.
Cuteness Proximity: Noel loves cute things such as Robotboy, her pet mink Mari, and Ditto. She actually owns several plus dolls of Ben's cuter aliens.
Lethal Chef: Noel never tastes her own cooking as she makes it and some of her meals end up censored in real life. Turns out, she is actually making alien cuisine using normal Earth ingredients... somehow. It's so bad that she once rendered a cake inedible simply by placing a strawberry on top.

Mai Natsume

Mai Natsume (BlazBlue)

Brought to the past by Clockwork seeing Makoto once again. Mai is a boy transformed into a girl by the No Name Grimoire and cursed with a powerful sense of taste that makes it hard for her to eat anything but Noel's cooking.

Bizarre Taste in Food: Due to her unique sense of taste, Mai can only eat Noel's cooking without experiencing the "memories" of the ingredients. This eventually extends to alien dishes, making her one of the few human characters who enjoy Max's xeno-cuisine.
Cursed with Awesome: Her super taste ability, ironically, means that she feels unwell if she ever eats normal food. Still, the ability helped her and her friends a lot of times. There's also the fact that she finds Noel's cooking delicious, which is a saving grace.

Kajun Faycott

Kajun Faycott (BlazBlue)

Mai Natsume's eccentric roommate at the Military Academy, she was brought to the past by Clockwork seeing Makoto once again along with Mai.

Cloudcuckoolander: When the urge to learn gets the better of her. Her friends call it "science mode" and fear it.
Ship Tease: With Max, oddly enough.

Robotboy

Robotboy (Robotboy)

A surprisingly powerful Robot Kid created by Professor Moshimo with the most advanced fighting capabilities on the planet... and the mind of an 11-year-old Japanese exchange student. To keep certain less savory personalities from using him for the wrong purposes, Moshimo sends him to live with the Plumbers in Bellwood.

Adaptation Origin Connection: His design was inspired by Jenny's

Skurd

Skurd (Ben 10)

A Slimebiote, a DNA parasite who can absorb and use the powers of his host, that was caught by Litchi. He attached himself to Ben's Omnitrix and will not leave it. While annoying at times to Ben and Makoto, he's a valuable ally that can use the genetic material of the Omnitrix in several ways.

Power Copying: He can copy the DNA of anything he comes into contact with and replicate it on demand, usually producing extra limbs to defend himself. Being attached to the Omnitrix gives him access to Ben's entire arsenal of alien powers.

Max McGrath

Max McGrath (Max Steel (2013))

The newest member of the Omni Team from the restored Earth. Max is a hybrid human/alien like the Plumbers Kids. He generates a massive power called TURBO Energy that can cause him to explode unless he has Steel with him.

Character Catchphrase: "Go Turbo!"
Friend to All Children: Gets along quite well with children, easily entertaining the kittens from the Kaka clan.
Ship Tease: With Kajun, oddly enough.
Walking Techbane: The TURBO energy his body generates instantly overloads any piece of tech that hasn't been modified to handle it. Even the Omnitrix can't handle direct exposure to it

Steel

N'Baro Akstteel X377 "Steel" (Max Steel (2013))

The other half of Max Steel. A diminutive alien robot, known as an Ultralink. He is only able to function on TURBO Energy, without it he will permanently shut down. He acts as a device that can help regulate Max's TURBO Energy.

Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: During the mess with the Spectacles of Eros, Steel kept insisting that it was an SCP, to Max's annoyance.
Generation Xerox: Max's father was Steel's former partner.

Lambda

λ-No.11- / Lambda Vermillion (BlazBlue)

Noel's "sister" and a Murakumo Unit that once belonged to Kokonoe before being taken in by Noel.

Berserk Button: Do NOT scare or damage a cute thing near her. The Lynel that spooked a Blupee was one-shotted by her.
Happily Adopted: Is "adopted" by Noel, becoming her sister.
Supreme Chef: Unlike her sister, Lambda is an excellent cook.

Pets

Mari

A mink mutated by Dr. Animo that Noel adopted.

Bluey

A Blupee from Hyrule that Lambda adopted.

Funkfreed

A sword that ate the Ushi-Ushi no Mi: Model Zou. He belonged to Spandam before Noel adopted him.

Trademark Favorite Food: Fruits.

Drei

A corgi that has his DNA infused with all the data of the Techadon Weapon Masters and Galvans. Noel adopted him.

Early-Bird Cameo: He showed up at the end of Noel's birthday chapter in GSE Side Stories.
Meaningful Name: Noel names him Drei after the 3 on his tag and based on Ein of Cowboy Bebop and Zwei of RWBY. He's also the third pet Noel adopts.

Nyx

A cybernetically enhanced clone black jaguar that Kajun accidentally created using data from Steel and Turbo energy from Max.

Sizeshifter: She has three forms: An enlarged, saber-toothed battle cat form, a normal-sized jaguar form, and a mini form.

Plumbers

Grandpa Max

Grandpa Max/Magister Tennyson/Max Tennyson (Ben 10)

Max is the Magister for Earth and Grandpa to Ben and Gwen. He often runs the daily tasks for running the Plumbers and is the one who assigned Rook to be Ben's partner and putting the girls as Ben's apprentices.

Lethal Chef: Due to his time in the Plumbers, Max has developed a taste for alien cuisine and often spends his time cooking recipes. He also starts teaching Noel them once he learns she was able to make them by complete accident, much to the horror of everyone else.

Jin Kisaragi

Jin Kisaragi (BlazBlue)

Ragna's younger brother (who he has a near insane homicidal fury for), he was once an elite commanding officer of the NOL and childhood friend of Tsubaki. After being brought to the present by Alien X, he was, according to Harrange, injured and near death and began working for Harrange after he brought him back to health until the Incurseans Invasion, at which point he saw Harrange's true colors and joined the Plumbers.

Ax-Crazy: Because of his weapon, he becomes this whenever he's around Ragna, Jin loses his calm, detached demeanor and reverts to his childhood self. His voice becomes noticeably more ecstatic, and he is now prone to fits of maniacal laughter. He has gotten better with time, but still has MANY issues.
An Ice Person: Jin controls the element of ice, wielding it with such efficiency that he is able to shape the ice he creates into different forms such as a series of blades, and is able to propel himself on one. His control over Yukianesa's ice-related abilities allows him to create and shape water in the air and crystallize it, giving birth to a myriad of techniques.
Pet the Dog:
- He cares deeply for Tsubaki, one of the few people he's genuinely nice to.
- He also has a great deal of respect for Max Tennyson.
Red Baron: Back in the BlazBlue characters home timeline, Jin is known famously as the "Hero of Ikaruga".

Supreme Chef: When visiting Hope's Peak in GSE Side Stories Chapter 22, he helps Teruteru in the kitchen.

Dasheng

A gold Arachnachimp who recently graduated from the Plumbers' Academy.

Ma'antis

Ben's cousin and one of the members of the original Omni-Team who left for college at the start of the story. She has magical abilities she inherited from her grandmother. She's taken to fighting criminals around her college under the identity of Lucky Girl.

I Just Want to Be Normal: Got tired of hero work and the general insanity surrounding Bellwood, so left for college to try and get away from it all.
Science Wizard: Downplayed, but Ben mentions that she uses her scientific knowledge to supplement her spells which helps make up for her lack of formal training.
We Have Become Complacent: Paradox, Ben, and Kevin note that she has let herself slip on her magic training ever since she started college, having gotten caught up in doing her school work and teaching Platinum magic, and she has begun to struggle against opponents she would've normally been to able to handle easily.

Kevin Levin

Ben's former Arch-Enemy turned best friend. He left the Omni-Team to follow Gwen to college.

Chronically Crashed Car: His car tends to get destroyed frequently.
I Just Want to Be Normal: Like Gwen he wanted to get away from all the craziness surrounding Ben and Bellwood.
Reformed Criminal: Was involved in a lot of illegal activities even after he stopped being an Ax-Crazy mutant. Hanging out with Ben and dating Gwen had straightened him out, though he still gets involved with shady stuff from time to time.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Luna and Kevin really don't get along.

Platinum the Trinity

Luna/Sena/Trinity (BlazBlue)

A child with two souls in the same body; Luna, a bratty girl with a foul mouth, and Sena, a soft-spoken and polite boy. They are currently living with Gwen and Kevin.

Bratty Half-Pint: Luna is a foul-mouthed brat with a tendency to throw tantrums and accuse people of being pedos. Thankfully these traits, especially the latter, have started to disappear.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Luna is the foolish while Sena is the responsible one.
Happily Adopted: They've essentially been adopted by Gwen and Kevin.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Luna and Kevin really don't get along.
Took a Level in Kindness: Spending time with Grandpa Max and later Gwen has caused Luna to become much less of a brat.

Amity Park

Team Phantom

Danny Fenton/Danny Phantom

Danny Fenton/Phantom (Danny Phantom)

Danny Fenton was just fourteen when he ended up in an accident in his parents' basement lab, resulting in him being infused with ghost DNA and allowing him to transform between human and ghost.

The Bus Came Back: Returns in Chapter 11 of Galactic Shift Extend Side Stories as the primary focus of the chapter before reappearing in the main story as part of the Galactic Monsters arc.
Character Catchphrase: "I'm going ghost!"
An Ice Person: Has ice powers.
Playing with Fire: He gains fire abilities in Chapter 11 of Galactic Shift Extend Side Stories.
Put on a Bus: After his debut, he rarely appears. Justified as he still lives in Amity Park, far away from Bellwood.

Sam Manson

Samantha "Sam" Manson (Danny Phantom)

Danny's childhood friend and primary love interest. Sam is a strict vegetarian Goth with an often contradictory personality; she's as rational and levelheaded as she is forceful and selfish. She strives to protect the environment as much as she rebels against her parents. She often keeps Danny (and Tucker) from doing anything too extreme.

The Bus Came Back: Returns in Chapter 11 of Galactic Shift Extend Side Stories along with Danny before reappearing in the main story as part of the Galactic Monsters arc.
Dark Is Not Evil: She dresses in all dark colors and is firmly on the protagonist's side.
Like Parent, Unlike Child: Sam's parents are stereotypical conservative and controlling parents, who protest against things they find "objectionable, immoral, or obnoxious". In contrast, Sam is a vegetarian goth who is into the things they loathe (such as Circus Gothica).
Put on a Bus: After her debut, she rarely appears. Justified as she still lives in Amity Park, far away from Bellwood.

Tucker Foley

Tucker Foley (Danny Phantom)

Danny's childhood friend "since forever", Tucker is a Techno Geek who considers himself God's gift not only to women but to all humankind.

The Bus Came Back: Returns in Chapter 11 of Galactic Shift Extend Side Stories along with Danny before reappearing in the main story as part of the Galactic Monsters arc.
Casanova Wannabe: Tucker is mildly flirtatious and particularly interested in girls, though every attempt of his to get noticed by one has failed.
Mission Control: He wants to be this, so he can stay far away from Danny's fights and not get slimed.
Put on a Bus: After his debut, he rarely appears. Justified as he still lives in Amity Park, far away from Bellwood.

Kibougamine/Hope's Peak

Jenny Wakeman

XJ-9/Jenny Wakeman (My Life as a Teenage Robot)

Jenny Wakeman was a robot built in the early 1900s by Dr. Wakeman. She was a protector of the Earth for six years until one battle sealed her up in a repair cycle for 90 years. Now in the present day, she was a member of the Omni Team until she started attending Kibougamine as the Ultimate Gynoid, forming a branch of Team Remix Hearts there.

Age Lift: Her home series is implied to take place in 2072. Here, she was built in 1915!
Character Catchphrase: "Jumpin' Jimmie"
Badass Adorable: She's rather cute looking and innocent at first, but she has the strength of a million and seventy men and weapons galore.
I Choose to Stay: Decides to stay at Kibougamine, feeling like she belongs there.
Ship Tease: Has some with Kibo.
