Cameron Stiles
One of the brothers that have moved to the Mansion in order to escape eventual servitude in their hometown of Attila due to recently apparent powers. Between the two, he has gained the powers of telepathy and technopathy alongside manipulable mental barriers and cryokinesis during his stay As the oldest of the two, he takes up the responsibilities of their decisions with a stiff upper lip and a cold exterior.

Reanbelle Graham
"Technically" a mercenary who has fled to the Mansion after realizing the toxic effects of staying in her hometown. Transfixed into becoming an ideal hero by the teachings of her murdered parents, she moved on in order to pursue that goal at all times. At her arrival, she was usually cheery and helpful to anybody that needed any kind of help, to the point of accidentally getting Nighty to steal important files from the SCG so that she could be more informed. Now she is constantly saddling herself with problems, trying to find a means to an end to everything while trying not to break under the pressure.
- Amateur Sleuth: Somewhat inverted in that she at least knows the basic workings of an investigation.
- Amazonian Beauty: One of the tallest female tenants, regularly works out to the point of definition, wears loose and revealing clothes for the sake of functionality, and actually takes care to make herself look somewhat presentable in public.
- Badass Normal: As a simple human and the only one who played a major role in investigating the underground tribes, which led to subsequently exposing the Shadow Tyrant and the Nephilim, she has mustered up enough grit, determination, and curiosity to get through the entire ordeal. It also helps that she holds a big enough array of weaponry to hold against her own.

- Chronic Hero Syndrome: And how.
- Covert Pervert: To the point of knowing Rain's clothing size whenever they were together.
- Deadpan Snarker: Due to her having revealed several fantastical facts at one time, she has become jaded to whatever other magical happenings, which means that this pops up sometimes.
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Before they were killed, her parents would always shower her with attention, teach her right and wrong, and attempt to show her the outside world as often as possible.
- Determinator: No matter what she feels or what has to be sacrificed, she will not back down until her job is done.
- Emotional Regression: She's in her late twenties, yet she still thinks that resorting to keeping secrets and confiding in stuffed animals is a good idea.
- The Fettered
- For Happiness: What her actions ultimately boil down to.
- Friendless Background: Has been without proper social contact for the last ten years, so she is glad when she is welcomed into the Mansion. Becomes the basis for her fears later on in the RP.

- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Actually holds an impressive collection of various animals that is currently being stored.
- Girls with Guns: A sniper rifle and a pistol to be exact.

- The Gunslinger: When equipping her pistol, she becomes a Type A.

- Nervous Wreck: Becomes this whenever she is off to work on her own.

Reissem
Root Stiles
The other brother who has come to the Mansion for the same reason as above. He has managed to garner together incredible strength and endurance, but is willing to try for more. Unlike his brother, he has a much warmer personality and is much more willing to be social and get to know people, which is why the Shadow Tyrant wants to probe his mind. Youngest son to Vernon Stiles, leader of the Stiles Conglomerate. Works for Nathan as a part-time lifter.
- Big Eater: Somewhat justified in that he actually needs to consume a ton of food or else whatever has been giving him his strength will eventually leech off his musculus-skeletal system until he is left as a husk.
- Bodyguard Crush: Inverted, seeing as how he's having the crush on Adelaide instead. However, he's ditched those feelings for Briar instead.

- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: He does do work to fill in the time, but he's not entirely sure of what he really had ought to do with the rest of his life.
- Does Not Know His Own Strength: Upon arriving at the Mansion, he almost crushes the Butler in an all-encompassing and thankful hug. He's been getting better at measuring his strength though.
- Emotional Powers: Not anything that he has to his own disposal, but when he's feeling quite angry, he taps into a much stronger form thanks to the parasite in his body that gave him his powers in the first place. Unfortunately, he's under it's destructive whims for some time afterwards. Fun.
- Fool for Love: His first love was due to feelings stemming from a sort of rescue romance, his next crush was out of bad influences, and his current flame is now an amnesiac due to having to need her body reconstructed.
- Growing Up Sucks
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: It's dirty blond to be exact, but the niceness is still there.

- Nervous Wreck: Becomes this when he is almost lobotomized by the Shadow Tyrant.
- Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Eventually realizes this when Reanbelle can't help them with his and Cameron's powers, but still manages to be chipper about everything.
- Ordinary High-School Student: Used to be this.
- The Pollyanna: Still manages to keep a positive and hopeful attitude regardless of the situation. Drops it when he is being targeted.
- Super-Toughness: Has no problem with keeping heavy objects in the air for a long amount of time and jumping down from a few stories high. Eventually evolves into a healing factor after some natural growth.
- Trauma Conga Line: He has to skip town to avoid servitude, gets his heart tinkered with from within his chest, is almost crushed to death by shadow tentacles, sees Adelaide almost bleed to death after she barely manages to come back after a mission, is under threat of a lobotomy by unknown forces, and nearly gets his soul reaped by the Nephilim. For someone that's just been trying to be nice to people and work what he can, the kid can't catch a friggin' break.
Suvia Tuonensuo
A half-Finnish necromancer and a fairly new arrival to the Mansion. Bit of an airhead.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!
- Become a Real Boy: Inverted. Suvia's death and conversion into an undead highlighted his already-noteworthy detachment from reality and general airheadedness.

- Motor Mouth: Is prone to this when he's not being overly formal.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Dances with corpses, talks to dead souls casually and generally has a relaxed attitude about death.
- Stepford Smiler: Types A and B: his muffled capacity for empathy and affect due to him being undead is something he'd rather not think of, and he drowns it under a layer of The Pollyanna.
- Strange-Syntax Speaker: A mild example: mixes Buffy Speak with Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness at the drop of a hat.
- Necromancer: Comes from the father.
- The Undead
- They Would Cut You Up: As an undead, this is one of Suvia's greatest fears.
