This names off characters in the Black Blood Crusades series of stories.
People other than the Crimson Crusaders who've braved their way through the Nachzehrer pandemic. They are usually doubly badass, since they lack the assistance of the Abyss Knights.
- Badass Normal: Unlike the Crimson Crusaders, who have the privilege of being assisted by members of an organization who revolve around hunting Nachzehrer, these guys get around on their own terms.
- Badass Crew
- Meaningful Name: They're called the Cavalry Saviors for a very good reason.
- The Immune: There was enough Soul Taffy for all of them, so they're safe from becoming Nachzehrer.
Ignacio Rodriguez
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
The military trio's commander, and a loyal member of the Libratan Royal Militia. Even in the disarray left behind by the Nachzehrer, he and his wife still search for their two lost children.
- A Father to His Men: He enjoys spending time with the trio and treats them as if they were his own boys.
- Four-Star Badass
- Expy: Of Louis Armstrong, in personality and build.
- Reasonable Authority Figure
- The Brigadier
Faye Lawson
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
Julian's wife, and his faithful musical assistant. She specializies in pianos (and organs) as opposed to her husband's cello, and is a prominent assassin, having been taught to use the power of darkness to her advantage.
- Bifauxnen: Due to how heavily she dresses.
Lunatis Ventelle
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
The third and oldest of the Ventelle siblings, standing at 22 years old. She is a human that can turn into a weapon due to an accident when dealing with Weapon Synthesis— as it turns out, Lunatis had bonded with not only a scythe but also a shotgun and a shield - the overload caused her to gain the ability to turn into all of these three weapons at once. She's also extremely lucky for that to happen, as the negative side effects would have been either death or turning into a horribly disfigured monster.
She's also the most sensible and serious of the three siblings, but as to be expected, is not like that all the time. When she's not fighting or helping out her two sisters, she's a painter and an art critic.
- Badass in a Nice Suit
- Cool Big Sis
- The Comically Serious: Pretty much.
- Impossibly Cool Weapon: Is one herself.
- Living Weapon
- Lunacy: But of course.
- Meaningful Name: Lunatis is latin for Crescent, which is what her scythe form is shaped like.
- Shout-Out: She's a person that can transform into a weapon-- and a scythe, no less. More directly, she's based off of Rin from Mnemosyne.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Lunatis is usually distant and critical, but she's got a kind heart.
Illumine Trescale
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
Yumenshi's father, and a nobleman of the House of Trescale.
Nemuru Trescale
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
Yumenshi's mother, and a noblewoman for the House of Trescale.
Phil Roastell Millione
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
A biker and a notorious thief who wound up helping the Cavalry Saviors. He's obviously in it to get the money and the fame, but also for the protection, since his former gang weren't up to the task. Over time though, he becomes less and less jerkass-ish the more he grows to the rest, especially since it was because of everyone else that he's still not one of the living dead.
- Anti-Hero: Type II, for the most part.
- Defrosting Ice King
- Expy: Is based off of internet video game reviewer / player Phil Burnell, aka. the King of Hate. He's also got some Francis thrown in there.
Cherry Tamashel
- Story Debut: Yet to be introduced'
Roland's paraplegic younger sister, and a feisty 17-year old.
Vassago
A ghostly entity that clings around Cherry and offers her power and accessibility. He's shrouded in mystery and doesn't let on what exactly he is, only saying that he made a deal with Cherry to help her out.
In reality, he is one of the many former demon princes and presidents of Hell— the hierarchy called the Ars Goetia which was responsible for repressing the Apocalytes and a former branch of the Deathmoon Family. The whole organization was destroyed by an elaborate coup made by the Apocalyean leaders at the time, with its members scattered and defeated.
- Expy: Of Samson from Skullgirls.
- Deal with the Devil: This is what his arrangement with Cherry eventually becomes.
Elan Altozel
Not a survivor per se, but definitely not a villain— Elan is the non-violent Dullahan brother of the Altozel sisters who got his head stolen away and left for dead in a ditch. Ever since then, he's had it replaced with a pumpkin (without his consent) and roams the land while keeping to himself.
He's always hated the way things work in his home country, but doesn't find his chances very fair (one to a million)— so he becomes a part of the Cavalry Saviors as a testament to his loyalty. He is constantly referred to as "the pumpkin man" by the others, much to his dismay.
- Archenemy: The culprits for his ambush were the Rodriguez Dullahan twins - they ganged up on him on the word of their mistress and left him for dead.
- Big Brother Mentor: In a sense to Sunshine Nettagel, who helped save him.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Just in case if his scythe isn't enough.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Definitely— while other Nachzehrer would jump on the call instantly to attack people, Elan (and Thalassa alike) tries to help save them from a horrible fate.
- Expy: Of the Lanterns from Disgaea. Can also be considered to be a male Celty Sturluson.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: He leaves his scythe (and concealed short sword) for the dirty work.
- Hunter of His Own Kind: Doesn't take kindly to the people at his country, Neumond Reich.
- Headless Horseman: One of many, at the very least.
- Losing Your Head: Poor guy. Fitting that it got stolen by other Dullahans.
- Scarf of Asskicking
- Sinister Scythe
- Technical Pacifist: He won't kill unless he has to.
Lucera Joy
A large and buff nurse who works for the hospital.
- Brawn Hilda
- Shout-Out: She's a nurse and her last name is Joy. Doesn't look the part, though.
Garland Ventelle
The youngest out of the Ventelles and the only brother of the bunch, standing at sixteen. He is a skilled magic user and axeman, but is usually meek and nonconfrontational. That is, until the Nachzehrer attacked and he had to go around to see if his sisters were alright, bumping into Lucera not long after.
- Badass Bookworm: Effectively so.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: Normally, he would usually try to solve his problems in a way that won't get him in trouble. But in the Nachzehrer's wake, he seriously cuts loose.
- Shout-Out: All of his sisters were named according to their elements. Him? He's named after the first Final Fantasy villain and based off of Kouta Hirano. (They're even the same age)
