General
- Beyond the Impossible: Despite it being practically canon that the Infinity Train is in another dimension that cannot be crossed over so easily, Elipzo somehow has some of its agents installed on the Pokemon World, despite its leaders being strictly stuck on the Train.
- Color Motif: The Elipzo grunts wear grey cloaks, symbolizing how their actions are somewhere in the middle compared to the heroic Windchasers, Red Lotus Uprising, and White Gestalt and the villainous Apex and Silent Hill Trio.
- Creepy Crosses: Their main insignia is an inverted cross superimposed on a blue sun and they're not good in any way.
- Department of Redundancy Department: With Elipzo meaning "Hope", their creed can be read as "For the hope of hope".
- Evil Plan: Their plan is to unleash their version of "hope" onto the train and they will kill anyone, passenger or denizen alike, who gets in their way.
- Equal-Opportunity Evil: There's no real restriction between who can and cannot join Elipzo. Male, female, kid, adult, interdimensional character, it doesn't really matter as long as you're allegedly willing to help with Elipzo's cause.
- Hope Bringer: What they paint themselves as. They go on and on about bringing hope to the Infinity Train, with their motto even bringing this idea to mind. However...
- Hope Crusher: This is what they actually are, and what their modus operandi basically boils down to. If they don't manipulate things behind the scenes to worsen the situations they deal with, they're leading their supposed clients down a dark path that always ends with them with their dreams crushed and falling into despair.
- Hypocrite: Seeing the way they do things compared to what they say reveal them to be blatantly this. They like to go on about bringing hope to the train, with their motto even including it, but they spend the entirety of Act 2 either manipulating events so that things are worse off than they were before or leading people astray until they crash and burn with no hope of recovery.
- Meaningful Name:
- Elipzo is the Greek word for "Hope".
- Aerostar calls them Order de Esperanza, which means "Order of Hope".
- Mind over Matter: The Elipzo grunts in the Pokémon world have used Psychic-types so far like Gardevoir, Inkay and Malamar.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: They killed Vox — a Demon Lord — some time after Ogami's own murder.
- Original Character: Ryu and Avery are OCs made by the main author for some of the games she played.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: They're responsible for the death of Queen, a human so vile back in the VRAINS world that she made Specter look like a saint.
- Sinister Sweet Tooth:
- In the Cyan Desert Car, The Figure is shown eating a cookies and cream ice cream sundae and he dunks butter cookies (lengua de gato) into a milk tea. His character tic is usually taking those same butter cookies and licking them.
- Ryu has a thing for donuts, as he makes a Luther burger — a burger with donuts instead of buns — and his dessert is a chocolate iced custard-filled donut while in the Delicious Party Car.
- They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: What makes Elipzo so terrifying is that they have agents outside of the Train, ranging from a Nurse Joy to a celebrity duelist in Den City. They even have children joining their cause!
- Villains Never Lie: For all that they do, they don't lie. For example, Ryu specifically tells Specter that Lampetia's heart is being delivered to him, no questions asked which is proven by Austen asking Ai to deliver it.
- We Can Rule Together: If somebody proves to be either a valuable asset to Elipzo's plan, or otherwise an useful tool to keep around, the members might willingly ask them to join their cause. The Berrybaker kids try convince Mairin to join them under the pretense of helping her find Alain and Professor Sycamore, with only her Chespin's intervention stopping her from joining.
The Figure (Spoilers)
The Figure / Austen Plane
- "Rest assured, seekers. The answer is hidden in plain sight."
Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First Appearance: The Skill Crane Car) | Road to Platanus Crocus (Knight of the Orange Lily - Another Epilogue)
An unknown entity within the Train that Ogami once answered to. He killed Ogami once he judged him to be too much of a nuisance. He is the leader of Elipzo.
- Ambiguously Gay: He idolizes Augustine and even comments on how "majestic" he looks.
- Beyond the Impossible: Ogami is a nigh-immortal butterfly boy Denizen that won't stay dead even if his body is destroyed. Whoever the figure is, they somehow found a way to not only kill a Passenger, but destroy the soul.
- Big Bad: The Figure is the leader of Elipzo.
- Character Catchphrase: "My name is Austen. Plain and simple. Austen Plane."
- Connected All Along: The Palimpsest Car reveals that he was Asher's former partner.
- Character Tics: Taking a long butter cookie (lengua de gato) and licking it like a lollipop.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He notes how he didn't like using the mayor of Vermillion City's suggestion to give Sara Chloe's number and the sheer lengths Sara would go to have her kingdom.
- Hero-Worshipper: A comment from Ryu states that the Figure sees Augustine as his role model.
- Identical Stranger: He looks very similar to Augustine with the major difference is that Austen has gold streaks in his hair.

- Judge, Jury, and Executioner:
- He both judges and executes Ogami when he meets him. and does the same to Kisaragi and Queen before unleashing punishment.
- The Leader: He serves as this for Elipzo as a whole.
- Manipulative Bastard: He pushes Ai in a corner by tasking him to deliver Lampetia's heart to Specter, knowing that Specter will not take Ai's excuses and also implying he'll broadcast the fact Ai's intentionally brainwashing Yusaku so they stay together to rile Ryoken up so that he probably pursues him on the Train itself if the Ignis doesn't do what he wants.
- Meaningful Name:
- Austen is Latin for "Great" or "Magnificent", representing how he has great plans for the Train through his hope. It's also a derivative for Augustine, reflecting how he's a mirror to Augustine Sycamore.
- Plane can represent "a level of existence" and he's on a higher plane of thinking than others.
- Plane is simlar to "plain", like a track of land, or "plain" as in ordinary. Moreover, it's just a few letters short of "Plantane", which is Sycamore's Japanese name.
- My Name Is Inigo Montoya: He introduces himself as, "My name is Austen. Plain and Simple. Austen Plane."
- Mysterious Past: Who he is, what he is, and his motivations are unknown.
- Mysterious Stranger: We know absolutely nothing about him.
- Outside-Context Problem: For the original Blossomverse as he somehow was able to kidnap three members of White Gestalt — particularly Specter who is in another world from the Pokémon characters — so they can have a redo of their failed train trip.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: He's the one that kills the Serial Killer Ogami and places Kisaragi under mental dive torture.
- Psychopathic Manchild: He's a youthful man with a love of ice cream and butter cookies and a twisted sense of justice, not giving a damn who gets in the crossfire as long as he makes the "happy ending" he thinks people deserve.
- Red Baron: "Lord of the Crossroads".
- Red Right Hand: When Ai sees him without the hood, he notes that one of Austen's pupils looks like it has demon horns.
- Serial-Killer Killer: His role in killing off the monstrous butterfly boy Ogami.
- Sinister Sweet Tooth: He has a love of butter cookies and cookies and cream ice cream and is the Big Bad of the story.
Ryu Yoshida
A young snarky boy that aids Elipzo.
- 13 Is Unlucky: Played with. When Tiffany finds him, his bandaged hand shows a glowing 13...and then it turns out that she was put into a trap and his number is much much higher than she initially thought.
- Bad "Bad Acting": He lampshades that he is terrible at playing a damsel in distress at Tiffany and is more amused that she was willing to fall for it.
- Blah, Blah, Blah: States this during his call with Chloe and Specter in the Act 2 Prelude.Ryu: Blah blah blah, I get it [the warnings of the Fog Car]. Don't sound like a repeating recorder.
- Buffy Speak: He calls the Wonderland version of croquet "flamingo hammer ball" and Vox is labeled "TV head guy".
- Does Not Like Spam: In the Delicious Party car, he makes a BLT donut burger without the L.
- Everyone Has Standards: He did not like Queen's apathetic remarks on the death of Earth in the slightest.
- Evil Counterpart: To Yuri Ichiro, as they are snarky young boys who are on opposing sides. Fittingly, their first names are a reverse of one another. According to the author, he was written as an exact opposite of Yuri.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: He's hiding as a member of the Apex due to the fact that he's a kid and the Apex don't even bat an eye at this newcomer with a bandaged hand.
- Kid With The Remote Control: He wants to be this, even boasting to Chloe and Specter that he'll make Pyramid Head his pet.
- Readings Are Off the Scale: He's around Yuri's age but he has a five digit number. To give a comparison to other Blossomverse characters, the only other people who would've had that large a number would be both Pauls — one in his teens and one who is middle-aged.
- Rule of Symbolism: His original number, 20117, is based on Week 20 of the author's TWEWY Discord RP she participated in and that it ended on November 7th (11/7).
- Shout-Out: He makes a BLT burger — with donuts — but hates the L, just like BT is a lover of BLT sandwiches but hates the L.
- Villains Never Lie: He tells Specter that Lampetia's heart is in good hands, which Specter refuses to believe because Lampetia was last in the hands of an asshole Apex girl who boasted that it was her battle trophy. Turns out that Ryu was telling the truth in a way: Ai was forced to deliver it under Elipzo, but Tiffany didn't willingly give it up. She was brainwashed to do so.
