    open/close all folders 

Characters introduced exclusively for the Spin-Off games, including allies for the main heroines (playable or otherwise), major and minor antagonists, and even characters crossing over from others IPs like Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girls and Senran Kagura. Cameos and Guest Fighters from other franchise's and IPs (e.g. Tiara in Hyperdevotion, various Virtual YouTubers who were featured in Virtual Stars) are excluded, as do games from this series that have connections to the main continuity (Sisters vs Sisters and Game Maker R:Evolution).

As such, for characters introduced in those games, see Other CPUs*, Other Characters*, Makers*, Gold Third*, and Antagonists*.


    General Tropes 
  • Canon Foreigner: Many of the original, non-collaborated characters were created for the spin-offs they appear in and nothing else, having no narrative counterpart in the main timeline whatsoever. Though this is starting to change as of Sisters, where the characters introduced in that game are connected to the games canon.

Introduced in Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart

Characters who serve as helpful assistances to the CPUs, namely Noire. They are similar to Makers, but represent franchises instead of companies. They were initially subordinates of Ultradimension Noire, but broke ties with her when she lost Shares.

  • Punny Name:
    • Ein Al's name sounds somewhat like "final", as in Final Fantasy.

    Estelle 

Estelle

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_estelle.png

Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese), Janice Kawaye (English)

A Lastation General who is a heroic swordswoman. She has a rivalry with Ein Al.


  • Expy: Of Roto, based on design, made apparent with her armor and her shieldnote .
  • Goofy Print Underwear: The Limited Edition artbook reveals she wears Dogoo-themed panties. They're visible in game as well. A fully upgraded dresser in Noire's room will tell you to check it out when checking her equipment.
    Dresser Rank 5: That girl who keeps calling everything "legendary"... Look at her backside when changing equipment. There's a cute little someone hiding under her skirt! Go and see! I'm not kidding!
  • Jerkass Ball: While normally fairly kind, she occasionally acts quite rude to the other girls.
  • The Rival: To Ein Al. This is a reference to the rivalry between Square (who developed the Final Fantasy games) and Enix (who developed the Dragon Quest games) until the two companies merged.

    Moru 

Moru

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_moru.png

Voiced by: Sora Tokui (Japanese), Erica Mendez (English)

A cat-like girl who is not only perpetually energetic but is also knowledgeable. She resides in Lowee.


  • Ambiguously Brown: She's the only dark-skinned character in the game, but is never explicitly stated to be such (given her cat-like features).
  • Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: Her main weapon is a hammer, which she uses for hunting and attacking, though its subverted as she's more cheerful than brutish.
  • Cat Girl: Has cat ears and a tail, but otherwise looks human. Her top even has a paw-shaped cutout.

    Ein Al 

Ein Al

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_ein_al.png

Voiced by: Saori Onishi (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)

A collected swordswoman from Lastation who has a rivalry with Estelle.


  • Chuunibyou: Beneath her calm exterior lies a very eccentric girl who believes she's in a fantasy role-playing setting.
  • The Rival: To Estelle. This also alludes to Square and Enix's rivalry prior to the merge.
  • The Stoic: For the most part, she's the least emotive of the Generals, which can be seen through her monotonous speaking patterns. She drops this facade when Estelle is involved, however.

    Wyn

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_wyn.png

Voiced by: Hitomi Yoshida (Japanese), Christine Marie Cabanos (English)

    Sango 

Sango

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_sango.png

Voiced by: Sanae Fuku (Japanese), Lauren Landa (English)

A haughty and noble lady who resides in Lastation, Sango drove her city to a state of utter chaos, presiding over a huge civil war between three factions.


  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Not her, but she causes this to the Green faction (including Vert) upon Noire's infiltration into her throne room, and is implied to be at least part of the cause for the warfare.
  • Break the Haughty: Her post-induction scene has Noire force her to work servant positions (waitress, secretary), smacking her around when she tries to act haughty, until she's a blubbering, apologetic mess.
  • Noblewoman's Laugh: Both played straight and averted since she tends to break out coughing a lot, but not always.

    Poona 

Poona

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_poona.png

Voiced by: Rikako Ito (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)

A slow-talking and slow-moving girl who resides in Lowee, Poona is all about the bonbon on her head, which serves as her main attack method and her "rights". For whatever reason, though, she has to constantly sell her "rights", or her city gets crushed by them.


  • Improbable Weapon User: Her main weapon is the giant bonbon on her head, which can also be set on fire.
  • White Mage: She can heal the other characters in battle.

    Lady Wac 

Lady Wac

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_lady_wac.png

Voiced by: Kumi Sakuma (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)

(One of) the oldest Gamarket generals, Lady Wac has very little ambition beyond eating things, which leads to friction between her and the CPUs, especially if they want something from her. She resides in Lowee.


  • Elder Abuse: Specifically, any time the CPUs ever need anything from her, their MO is simply to insult her advanced age until she goes into a rage, then beat her down flat.
  • Extreme Omnivore: Aside from the fact that most of her attacks involve eating the enemy she has, on at least one occasion, considered eating the moon.
  • Sweet Tooth: She has a fondness of sweets.

    Blossom Aisen 

Blossom Aisen

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_blossom.png

Voiced by: Yuka Terasaki (Japanese), Erica Mendez (English)

A Lastation General with a great sense of honor and loyalty to her fellow partners, while also having a habit of building a harem with them. Though she has the appearance of a man, other characters can't help but swoon over how attractive she is.


  • Hiding Behind Your Bangs: A part of her bangs obscure the left side of her eye, though she isn't hiding anything.
  • Lady Looks Like a Dude: With her calm, deep voice; short hair; slim build; and tuxedo-like outfit, one could've easily mistake her for a man if it weren't for the visible bustline and hips.
  • Royal Rapier: Her main weapon, used for a variety of graceful but dangerous attacks.

    Ai Masujima 

Ai Masujima

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_ai_masujima.png

Voiced by: Satomi Akesaka (Japanese), Faye Mata (English)

A Leanbox general, Ai acts like a stereotypical newbie idol - loud, shouty, and vaguely off-key. Despite this exterior, though, she has a manipulative side that can raise a lot of trouble for her opponents... assuming she even manages to pull it off.


    Tsunemi 

Tsunemi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_tsunemi.png

Voiced by: Yukiko Tatsumi (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)

Planeptune's idol singer and General, Tsunemi is beloved and charished by everyone due to her music, but has trouble communicating with others and expressing her feelings, often speaking like a robot.


  • Expy: Of a certain Hatsune Miku, being a singer with big twintails and a similar outfit.
  • Idol Singer: Her job. She's more experienced than Ai, though.
  • Musical Assassin: Attacks enemies by singing. Her main weapons are megaphones, to boost her voice.
  • The Rival: To Ai Masujima, with them both being idols.
  • Super-Senses: Evidently can accurately hear things as far as a mile away, due to her occupation as a digital diva.

    Saori 

Saori

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_saori.png

Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa (Japanese), Stephanie Sheh (English)

Voiced by: Eri Sendai (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)

A Lastation General who is good at mechanics, especially robots.


  • Facial Markings: She has a red line that goes horizontally across her nose and under her eyes, making it look like she's wearing Nerd Glasses.
  • Wrench Wench: Not only does she enjoy building robots, she literally uses a wrench as her standard weapon.

    Resta 

Resta

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_resta.png

Voiced by: Kotori Koiwai (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)

A young, elf-like girl who everyone fawns over due to her cuteness. She resides in Lastation.


  • Cuteness Proximity: Noire can't help but squee when Resta asks Noire to do something with her.
  • Expy: Of Ellis, down to the pink hair and pointy ears and being an innocent Token Mini-Moe with the ability to heal others.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She has two curly pigtails that seem to accentuate her apparent age.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: She's obsessed with figuring out how babies are made, though a few scenes imply that she may already know and is merely using the question to make others uncomfortable. She's also prone to speaking quite harshly when annoyed with someone, only to insist that they're hearing things when called out on it.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has light pink hair, and has the personality of an innocent child.
  • Token Mini-Moe: Compared to the other Generals, including the relatively petite Moru and Wyn, she is the smallest and youngest member.
  • White Mage: She is your first unit with healing spells, and in fact, only has two offensive spells, one of which is her special skill.

    Little Rain 

Little Rain note 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdevotion_little_rain.png

Voiced by: Haruka Teramoto (Japanese), Natalie Hoover (English)

A Lastation General revered as a saint in her city. Shortly after the Sharicite incident, she was locked up in her city's jail for her city's safety.


  • Beware the Nice Ones: She does not like the fact that her people locked her up under the guise that it was absolutely necessary to protect her city.
  • Blood Knight: In her rage mode, she becomes very brutal in battle.
  • Expy: Of Little Snow from Spectral Force, with both having long, light hair that's tied at the bottom, wearing long brown/beige dresses, and wielding a magic staff with a crescent moon on top. Even her name is similar, just using a different type of weather. One cutscene even has Neptune tell her she looks like a character from a game she's been playing, even partially namedropping "Little Sn-" before she gets interrupted.
  • Mystical White Hair: She has long white hair worn in a low ponytail. Her special abilities involve magic.
  • White Mage: Like Resta and Poona, she possesses multiple healing spells. She is also the only non-Disc source for passive health regeneration, providing it through her Exe Drive as well as her Leader effect.

    Ryuka 

Ryuka

Voiced by: Yoshino Nanjo (Japanese), Erika Harlacher (English)

A Yakuza General from Lowee who is nonetheless a compassionate woman who will protect them in the face of danger. However, due to speaking in a derisive tone, she ends up unintentionally making enemies.

Other Characters

Other characters from that game, including DLC characters.

    The Player (aka Secretary) 

The Player (AKA Secretary)

You. Just arriving in Lastation, seeking a job at the same time as Noire's fiddling around with the Sharicite, you end up helping Noire out at a very critical juncture, and get hired as her personal secretary.


  • Audience Surrogate: Serves this one to the player, particularly the type who is in a relationship with someone.
  • The Generic Guy: You never appear on screen, and your dialogue isn't voiced (so you can read it yourself). The game does, however, establish that you're male.
  • Took a Level in Badass: When you help Lid infiltrate a fortress to rescue Saori and pull off a near Heroic Sacrifice to defend Noire during her Heroic BSoD.

    Sting

Introduced in Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed

Game Reporters

Debut: Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 (Dengekiko, as a Gampic), Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (Famitsu, as a Gampic)
Initially appearing as NPCs before becoming playable characters, Dengekiko and Famitsu are news editors who represent their respective game publishing magazines.

    General Tropes 
  • Ascended Extra: They didn't really have much of a role in the mainline games, serving as little more than news reporters for their nations. Action Unleashed gives them a much more prominent focus that includes fleshing out their personalities and attributes as well as their dynamics with the CPUs by having them actually interact with the Goddesses. They even get promoted to playable characters where they received their own Super Forms!
  • Friendly Rivalry: Famitsu and Dengekiko are rivals, but are on good terms with each other.
  • Moe Anthropomorphism: Of gaming magazines.
  • Promoted to Playable: Both Dengekiko and Famitsu were originally Gamipics for Lastation and Planeptune respectively and Scouts for the Scout System. Action Unleashed and MegaTagmention make the two of them playable characters who can fight alongside the CPUs and their sisters. They also get a super form.
  • Super Mode: Much like the CPUs, they have their own HDD form they use in battle.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: They both sport ponytails, with Dengekiko's being a long one (which is tied by a ribbon that represents two lighting bolts) and Famitsu's being a short, messy one. Both matching their tomboyish personalities.

    Dengekiko

  • Dub Name Change: Was called Dengeki Lass in her Chirper appearances in some of the localized Re;Birth games. Known as Dengekiko from Neptunia U on, though.

    Famitsu 

Famitsu

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/famitsu1.png

HachimaJin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hachimajin.png

  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Was sealed underneath the school. Uzume fully breaks the seal before the final fight against him.

Introduced in Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online

Beta Testers

    Kiria 

Kiria (real name Kazuko)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4go_kiria.png

Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi (Japanese), Allegra Clark (English)

A player that proclaims herself as †Black Cat Princess†'s knight.


  • Bifauxnen: It's very easy to mistake her for a man at first glance. Her real life acquaintance remarks that she looks better in cute dresses than her bifauxnen looks in-game.
  • Expy: While her design and name note  is a dead-ringer to Kirito, she's essentially a port of Hiyori Kashiwazaka's Kuro avatar.
  • Extreme Doormat: For a majority of the story, she lets †Black Cat Princess† bully, manipulate, and push her around. It is implied that she had let her do this to her in a previous game as well despite †Black Cat Princess† showing often that she is a Manipulative Bastard.

    †Black Cat Princess† 

†Black Cat Princess† (†Kuronekohime† in Japanese)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4go_black_cat_princess.png

Voiced by: Ayano Yamamoto (Japanese), Kayli Mills (English)

A player that uses her charms in order to manipulate others.


  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Puts up a facade of being lovey-dovey with Kiria, but prefers to sucker people in and use them.
  • Cats Are Mean: Her avatar is a cat and while she may look all cute and innocent, she's actually a jerk who bullies and hurts other players.
  • Cheaters Never Prosper: Tries to cheat with Kiria to become more powerful than everyone else. It backfires spectacularly.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: She is based on Kuroyukihime/Sayuki Kuroba from Accel World; they both wear primarily black outfits despite not being a villain, they both serve as a helpful companion figure to their leads (†Black Cat Princess† to Kiria, Kuroukihime to Haruyuki), they both have a non-human avatar (†Black Cat Princess† has a cat motif while Kuroyukihime has a butterfly motif), and they eventually mellow out into a better person by the end. But whereas Kuroyukihime is a sweetheart who genuinely cares for Haruyuki's well-being, †Black Cat Princess† is a two-faced cheater who will take advantage of her partner Kiria in order to achieve her goal.
  • Dub Name Change: She was named †Kuronekohime† in the Japanese version, while the IFI localization dubs her †Black Cat Princess† instead.
  • Heel Realization: She finally realizes by the end of the game how much her behavior is actively hurting other people in the game, and accepts her account's permaban without problem along with Kiria.
  • It's All About Me: Starts to shed her fake self and eventually shows she wants everyone to praise her and treat her like a goddess. It is heavily hinted that the reason her guild in an older game eventually disbanded was due to her toxic attitude.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Bullies other players and, in an optional cutscene, says she wants to dump Kiria because she is starting to find her boring and does not like others seeing her as weak whatsoever.
  • Punny Name: Her name in the Japanese version, Kuronekohime (Black Cat Princess), is a play on Kuroyukihime (Kuroba's avatar name), which means "Black Snow Princess" in english.

NPCs

    Bouquet 

Bouquet

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4go_bouquet.png

Voiced by: Aya Uchida (Japanese), Ryan Bartley (English)

An NPC guardian spirit who Vert really wants to make her little sister.


  • Brick Joke: It took until Vert actually decided to create her own ideal little sister for her to even possibly get one.
  • Expy: Of Sword Art Online's Yui, with both being fully functional AI in a game world.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A sweet, helpful and noble fairy with matching blonde hair.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Compiles the antivirus in order to destroy Cheetah (since they're based on the same code) and unleash it, which would have resulted in her death if the GM didn't patch her program to survive in time.
  • Mythology Gag: Her role as Vert's quasi-sister was actually based off an idea Rina Sato (Vert's Japanese voice actress) made, who designed the concept of the character.
  • Light Is Good: Her dress is white and is one of the good guys of Cyberdimension, being a supportive ally to the Beta Testers.
  • Marshmallow Hell: She gets hugged face-first into Vert's ample chest.

    Cheetah (UNMARKED SPOILERS) 

Cheetah

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4go_cheetah.png

Voiced by: Rica Matsumoto (Japanese), Danielle McRae (English)

Kiria and †Black Cat Princess†'s fusion form that they used to PK other players, which is normally impossible to do since the game doesn't support PVP combat. Cheetah turns out to be combat AI made by Mine in order to destabilize and destroy 4GO, and it being used by Kiria and †Black Cat Princess† is mainly to train up its combat algorithm.


  • Dragon-in-Chief: Towards the story's climax, Mine completes its algorithm, made it independent of Kiria and †Black Cat Princess†, and sets it loose. However, she ends up losing control of it after she tries to stop Cheetah and it still tries to destroy the game after Mine stops trying to do so. The CPUs have to fight it in person instead.
  • Pun: Its name is pun of "cheater".

    GM (UNMARKED SPOILERS) 

GM

Voiced by: Aya Uchida (Japanese), Ryan Bartley (English)

The main GM of the game.


  • The Alleged Boss: She's not that bad at being engineer by any means, especially consider later when she fought in hacking duel with Mine. But as a player, she, and the other GMs, are really not up to par. This causes problems when Mine triggered monsters to attack the main city and she couldn't just put the game in emergency maintenance due to Mine's interference, resulting in her having to ask other players, including the CPUs, to help fight them off.

    Mysterious Person (UNMARKED SPOILERS) 

Mysterious Person/Mastermind/Mine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4go_mine.png

Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi (Japanese), Erika Harlacher (English)
A mysterious person in a black robe who keeps trying to sell cheat tools to other players. She turns out to be a former CEO/game designer of a rival game company to Weiss, who wants to destroy 4GO after its popularity results in her own game dropping in popularity and eventually causing her company to shut down.
  • Big Bad: She's responsible for the creation of Cheetah, as well as the various other glitches endangering 4GO's players.
  • The Cracker: Being a former game engineer gives her considerable skill at understanding and subverting game systems. The GM is more skilled at countering her, however, which eventually results in her loss.
  • It's All About Me: What caused her personal and company's downfall. She was far more focused on putting only what she wanted and thought was good for her game versus accepting input and ideas from the other developers and players. Overlaps with Never My Fault when she ends up blaming 4GO for her losses. She gets better.

Bombyx Mori

A group formed by Filyn and the main obstacle for Neptune's party. They also seem to have a Steampunk aesthetic, fitting the more medieval atmosphere of RPG.

    General Tropes 
  • Dub Name Change: In the original Japanese dub, the subordinates for Filyn were named Kukei Tobihachi, Mai Kamimura, and Surara Izuda. In the dub, they're respectively Paix St. Gliss, Artura Arrima, and Ester Zira.
  • Nebulous Evil Organization: At first, they just seem to be a local organization in Lastation, but it soon becomes really apparent that they control much of the world and are definitely up to no good.
  • Obviously Evil: They wear predominantly black outfits with red accents while having a controlling and oppressive attitude towards civilians. It's a wonder someone as Genre Savvy as Neptune was so easily convinced into joining them.

"Gah...Okay, I'll handle this then. You just stay put and rest!"


  • Dark Is Not Evil: Vice has black hair, wears a black outfit with some teal on it, and is described as a "devil" due to her appearance and personality; but is overall a good person.
  • Foil: To Licht. Vice is given the title of "devil", her outfit and hair are colored in black, and is one of the shortest and most petite members of the V-Idols unit. Licht, meanwhile, is a tall, busty, Cool Big Sis whose attire consists of bright colors and has blonde hair, and is given the label of "angel". However, Vice is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who cares for her allies and can put aside her arrogance whenever the world is in danger, whereas Licht is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who takes pleasure in toying with her allies, especially Vice herself.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She has two long twin tails that match her childishly pompous attitude.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be quite a jerk to others and often takes pleasure in riling them up due to her high-and-mighty mindset, but she genuinely cares about the well-being of others.
  • Meaningful Name: "Vice" is another word for the Seven Deadly Sins, which fits her black color scheme and devilish appearance.
  • Tiny Tyrannical Girl: She is the shortest member of the V-Idols, and is sometimes arrogant and prideful, although she isn't a bad person.

  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Despite her seemingly "angelic" appearance and personality, she has a naughty mind and enjoys toying with her partner.
  • Foil: To Vice. Licht is given the title of "angel", wears an outfit that has a light color scheme, and is one of the tallest and most buxom members of the V-idol unit. Her rival, Vice, is short and flat-chested, her outfit and hair are black, and is given the label of "devil". However, Licht's seemingly angelic personality is more or less a front to hide the fact that she's a huge pervert who often makes suggestive comments about herself and the girls as well as having a sadistic side in which she gets a kick out of seeing the girls squeamish, whereas Vice is a good-hearted person despite her devilish appearance.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Zig-Zagged. Licht has blonde hair with a white circle printed on it. Personality-wise, she seems outwardly friendly and approachable, acting like a surrogate big sister to the other V-idol members. Deep down however, she's a Covert Pervert with a sadistic streak who loves to tease her friends whenever she feels self-satisfied.
  • Light Is Good: Zig-Zagged. Licht's primary color scheme is composed of bright colors, has angelic elements to her design, and is the designated "angel" to Vice's "devil". Her name, in fact, is the German translation for "light". Personality-wise, she's a good-hearted girl who often serves as the Cool Big Sis of the V-idols, but has a perverted side that doesn't really match her image at all and loves to mess around with her friends a little bit to much.
  • Meaningful Name: "Licht" is German for "light", fitting her angelic image and light color scheme.
  • Token Evil Teammate: While not completely evil, she takes pleasure in toying with the emotions of her friends, especially Vice.
