Characters / Undocumented Features

This sheet is for the central and recurring characters of Undocumented Features; because of the scope of UF, listing all its characters is neither practical nor possible if we don't want to break the wiki. Also note that UF is a very dynamic setting; all its characters continuously grow and change. These bios may simultaneously be both spoilers for earlier stories and obsolete relative to those written afterward.

Let us repeat that, as it bears repeating: These biographical sketches will in many cases constitute spoilers for readers new to UF. In some cases simply the category they are listed under will be a spoiler. Peruse them at your own risk.

That said, go and enjoy.

This page is a stub, under construction at the moment. Yes, a page with more than 100 characters is still a stub.

Wedge Rats and Their Contemporaries

Practically all the Wedge folk, and many of their friends and neighbors, became immortal in the late 20th century; they (and their children) all have Living Forever Is Awesome. They're also proven Eternal Heroes.

Ben "Gryphon" Hutchins

• Ancestral Weapon: Ryuu-no-tsume^note Dragon's claw was the weapon of Tetsuo Asagiri.

• Clear My Name: During the Exile, after his Evil Twin frames him for mass murder.

• Red Baron: He was known as The Butcher of Musashi during the exile.
• Samurai: O-sensei of the Asagiri Katsujinkenryuu kenjutsu style by the Future Imperfect era.

MegaZone ^note Previously Brian Bikowicz

• Emergency Transformation: MegaZone is given Detian nigh-immortality as the only way to wake him from a coma.

Kei Morgan

• Fake Memories: Played with. Kei and Yuri remember their life as the, um, Lovely Angels before being created in the HoloDECStation, but also know that those memories can't be true from the very beginning. They're not at all bothered by this, and go on to establish the 3WA that they "remember".

• Idiot Ball: During and after Gryphon's court-martial at the end of Manhunt she effectively admits to carrying the idiot ball during her entire Inspector Javert phase.
• Inspector Javert: She becomes Gryphon's most determined, unforgiving pursuer during the Exile.

• Refugee from TV Land: Subverted; the universe becomes much more like their world, and the Wedge Rats become the fish out of water.

Yuri Daniels

• All There in the Manual: In Twilight, Yuri points out that she's gotten really good at not dying, above and beyond even a Detian physiology. This is because, if you read the forums, she apparently had been turned into a Mysteron agent by the Future Imperfect era (and then broke free of their control).

Maximillian Largo

• Batman Gambit: His Operation Götterdämmerung, which brought the end to the Golden Age, essentially only worked by exploiting the personality weaknesses of the central Wedge Rats.

• Greater-Scope Villain: Of the Exile stories, increasing his galactic power base while making life hell for Gryphon and the other surviving Wedge Rats. Notably, the Big Bad of Star-Crossed is driven off by the accidental impression that GENOM has arrived (it's actually The Cavalry).

Derek Bacon

• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Instituted Taco Night on a Klingon battlecruiser.

• Most Writers Are Writers: Who's the coolest dude in the universe? The one who has published hundreds of "So you just..." self-help guides and runs an in-universe comic book company^note Kris Overstreet runs a comic book company in Real Life.

Martin "PCHammer" Rose

• Affectionate Nickname: Eiko has laid claim to "Diggy", and she's not going to let anyone else call Martin that.

• Catchphrase: Taken from Darkwing Duck: "I am the terror that flaps in the night" and "Let's get dangerous".
• Cool Old Guy: Becomes this during the Golden Age after he refuses to take Omega-2.
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: Just after becoming a Transformer, he breaks several video game controllers before finally custom making one out of lots of metal. He becomes more competent at controlling his strength after learning to accept it.
• Emergency Transformation: Gets horribly mutilated in the wreckage of his Cool Hovercraft after a battle on Cybertron, and is only saved by making him into a techno-organic Transformer.
• Genius Bruiser: Space fighter designer, check. Strong enough to lift said fighter in normal gravity, check.
• Homage: In addition to his own homage to Darkwing Duck, one of the sample characters in GURPS Shapeshifters ("L. Martello Rosenblum") is clearly an homage to Hammer.
• I Am a Monster: Reveals his Super-Strength to Noriko by casually crushing a part of a bench, who becomes immediately terrified of him, if only temporarily. See also I Am a Monster under Eiko, below.
• Is This Thing On?: Paraphrases Ronald Reagan's sound test about making Soviet Russia illegal during his own mic check on Funkotron.
• Motif Merger: After becoming a Transformer, he uses an Autobot logo superimposed over a Wedge Defense Force logo on his clothing.

• Second Love: After a long-lasting, long-distance flirtation with Noriko, ends up with Eiko.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can turn into a small hovercraft at will thanks to that Emergency Transformation.

Noriko Takaya

• Affectionate Nickname: PC Hammer calls her "Riko"

• Calling Your Attacks: Explicitly noted that she doesn't have to do so, because of a neural interface, but she does so anyway because Gunbuster was voice activated.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: Everything that could go wrong in her life already has, and she still ends up in charge of the WDF Navy.
• Iron Woobie: Survives an astounding amount of emotional damage, but there's a point at which iron itself will break.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Part of the reason she and Martin Rose's avatar part ways is because of the spectre of this trope, since he refuses to become a Detian and he didn't want her to start aging for his sake.
• Sexy Mentor: She was assigned as PCHammer's trainer once he joined the WDF.
• Sole Survivor: Unlike Gunbuster canon, she and Kazumi had their Buster machines separated during their final mission — and Kazumi didn't escape the black hole bomb's blast.

Eiko Magami Rose

• Affectionate Nickname: PC Hammer calls her "Little One"

• The Chosen One: Her homeworld had a chosen one born during times of trouble with either great strength, great genius, or great charisma. She, Biiko, and Siiko were the first time all three chosen ones were born at once. It wasn't enough.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Lost several boyfriends to injury; Hammer's similar level of strength makes intimacy much less risky.

• I Am a Monster: Subverted. Eiko guiltily admits to Super-Strength by lifting a bench with Martin sitting in it; nonplussed, he proceeds to lift her by said bench.
• The Mole: She was originally a GENOM undercover agent, convinced with the hope of being reunited with her friends.
• Super-Speed: Korren is afraid to ride the Eiko Express again — which is just holding on for dear life while she runs.

Dund Wollern

• The Big Guy: Fills this role in Thunder Force, even though Hammer is actually bigger and stronger.

Kris "Redneck" Overstreet

• Incompletely Trained: His Jedi Master, Jaicyen, abrubtly ended Redneck's training because of Redneck's conflicting visions of a dark side and light side future.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Although under some circumstances he is known as "Admiral Overstreet", he is almost always referred to otherwise as just "Redneck".

• Spell My Name with a "The": Sometimes called "The Redneck", as though he were the only one in space.

Asrial Arconian of Salusia

• Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: She's a beastwoman}} in her furry, skunk-like native form and Little Bit Beastly in humanized form.

Jeremy Feeple

• The Nondescript: But without the creepyness or negative connotations.
• Ridiculously Average Guy: To the extent that it's almost a superpower, because people just don't pay attention to him.

Leeanna Zard'al

• Tomboy Princess: Doesn't get much more tomboy than roaming the streets as a Judge.

Pearson "Doc" Mui

• Expy: His Catchphrase, nickname "Doc", and time-traveling DeLorean were lifted from Doc Emmett Brown of Back to the Future.
• Retroactive Preparation: Is more or less forced to go back and save himself to protect the timeline.

Iczer-2 / Selene Sanjiyan

• Dragon Their Feet In the final Core era story, after Largo is killed, she takes command of the GENOM fleet and attempts to continue the war, but Iczer-1 and Vaughn (along with cooler heads in both fleets) put the kibosh on that, ultimately leading to Defeat Equals Friendship.

Exile Era characters

Nadia Davion

• Precursor: One of the two last survivors of Atlantis. The other is her brother, Darth Vader. There is no indication yet that either is aware that the other is alive.
• Tsundere: Almost an Informed Ability (don't mess with her engines!), but honestly we got quite enough of her Jerkass side in the anime's Filler Arc.

Vision

• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: She has a Spengler flux rating of 3.39, where average humans only measure 1.0.

Valeris

• Granola Girl: Although she started out a standard, maybe even extreme, Vulcan, an encounter with Raoul Duke and the contents of his medical bag in the wake of a personal emergency left her with a rather... different outlook and philosophy, as well as a radically altered personality.

Aki and Jilehr

• Split Personality: by design. She's two personality cores running off a single AI driver.

Rianna Santova

• N-Word Privileges: with regards to jokes about her horns, after being teased with the name "Horny" as a child.
  "I can get away with horn jokes. You can't. Remember that, okay?"

Late-comers to the Insert Game

Janice Barlow

• Nonhuman Sidekick: Mitra, a flying drone-thing that looks like a "chitinous football", and which seems to be something halfway between a robotic tool and a genuine pet.
• Small Girl, Big Gun: Owns a Varista photon weapon and assorted other potentially hostile equipment, as a legacy of being a Hunter on her home world, Ragol. (And she's not all that small, so the gun is proportionally bigger.)

Anne "Juniper" Cross

• Power Incontinence: She has some control problems which her Asagiri Katsujinkenryuu training helps her with.

• Right Man in the Wrong Place: Which leads to her slaying a dragon with a wooden sword.

Future Imperfect Characters

These are characters active in the Future Imperfect era, but older than the Ragnarok Wave generation.

Ayanami Rei shar Atrados tal Vader

• Artificial Human: A (failed) Big Fire genetic engineering experiment, rescued by the WDF and raised by Marty and Eiko Rose for several years before she struck out on her own.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Apprentice (and judging from the name she uses, possibly heir) to the UF version of Darth Vader.

Darth Anakyn shar Atrados tal Vader

• Cyborg but after he revives, he gets flesh replacement parts for his metal replacement parts.

• Precursor: One of the two last survivors of Atlantis. The other is his sister Nadia Davion. There is no indication yet that either is aware that the other is alive.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Subverted. Darth Sidious thought he was going to get a great ally in his conquest, but Vader had sealed himself away in the middle of his Heel–Face Turn.

Roger Tremayne a.k.a. Darth Venger

• Big Bad: One of the early ones in Symphony of the Sword. Initially appears as the Psi Cop in charge of capturing Devlin Carter, but later we find out he's also a Sith.
• Reassigned to Antarctica: After his WPI operation to capture Devlin Carter failed spectacularly, he was demoted and transferred to a post on the Moon. ("Worse pay, better hours... worse pay, better fellow workers.")

Ephrem Broadbank

• In sharp contrast to his father, Charles Broadbank, founder and CEO of AzTechnology, by all accounts a Cool Old Guy Honest Corporate Executive who is completely bewildered by his son's obsession with the Wedge Rats and would prefer that he drop his silly little vendetta and concentrate on business.

• The Resenter: According to Word of God, cannot believe that Gryphon and the other immortals are as good and heroic as they appear, and expends a great deal of energy on deliberately trying to make their lives harder — to the point that all three of his daughters were conceived solely so that Gryphon's children would have their own nemeses as they grew up.

Durandal

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: A deconstruction as he was in Marathon, he achieves a stable rampancy with Ed and Ein's help — or was he rampant all along?

• Guile Hero: Er, well, heroic enough, for a AI that wages war against sentient beings. He certainly helps the heroes.
• The Plan: We still don't know what the hell he was doing with Major Kusanagi in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, but there had to have been some reason he got himself installed at WPI. (All There in the Manual: on the forums, if you missed it)

Avatar Korra

• All Your Powers Combined: As the Avatar, she can manipulate all four of the elements, but she has now also learned to veilbend, or travel between her home dimension and the "Big Universe".

• Character Development: The UF version of Korra is rather more mature than she is in canon.

• Living Forever Is Awesome: She's 138 years old, but no one, not even her, is sure how that happened or how long the effects will last. It may have something to do with repeatedly using her waterbending abilities to heal herself.
• Remember the New Guy?: Her backstory with Corwin and the entire existence of her world are quickly retconned into place when she first appears as one of Utena and Corwin's wedding guests.

The Ragnarok Wave, "Second Generation" Characters, and Their Contemporaries

Strictly speaking, the "Ragnarok Wave" are those children of Wedge Defenders conceived in the days and weeks immediately following the averted Ragnarok, and born in and about 2390. However, as a category on this page it also includes pretty much anyone else from Midgard who is within a few years of their age and who plays a major role in Symphony of the Sword or Warriors of the Outer Rim. Also, as noted above, the children of Wedge Defenders and certain others are all immortal, of the Living Forever Is Awesome variety.

Kaitlyn Hutchins

• Animal Motif: Tigers. Much of her clothing is tiger-striped or black with orange accents.
• Blind Without 'Em: She can see very little when she takes her glasses off, and explains (in a Badass Boast) that she used this as Enforced Method Acting when she played Zatoichi in a series of films.
• Cool Teacher: Becomes this to the cast of K-On! after their original faculty adviser, Sawako-sensei, left the school to revive her old metal band.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Her threadbare stuffed tiger, Seven.

• Minored in Ass-Kicking: First exhibited when she stomps the ever-living daylights out of Saionji in a live-steel duel in the WPI quad. Later taken to truly epic levels in the Duelists' Society.
• Not What It Looks Like: Used verbatim in a note to her lover, when sleeping next to someone else. Though it was obvious to everyone that the relationship was heading towards what it looked like anyway.
• The Power of Rock: Jamming enemy communications with a live version of "Rockin' in the Free World", along with the rest of The Art of Noise.

• Speech Impediment: In the UF "present day" she no longer has it, but since she could speak Kaitlyn had a truly epic stutter whose severity depended on how well she knew and trusted whoever she was talking to.
• Training from Hell: The promotion ceremony to master of the Asagiri style, a long series of Rose Duels, was a little on the extreme side. Justified in that it's her very last action as a student, and she'd face much harder real battles in the future. It works under essentially the same theory as Ph.D. oral exams — you don't have to win every time, you just have to show your skill and survive.

Azalynn dv'Ir Natashkan

• The Empath: It's not a psychic power, though — just being unusually sensitive to her friends' moods and feelings.
• Ethical Slut: This seems to be the Dantrovian religion. And as a devout practitioner, she never hesitates to use sex to improve the lives of her friends.
• Four-Fingered Hands: But not because she's a cartoon. Oddly, this seems to be the first thing about her — instead of her hair, her eyes, her copper skin, or her tail — that clues people in that she's an alien.

• The Sleepless: She only sleeps two hours a night; this is apparently a Dantrovian racial trait. To make matters worse (for her roommates and friends, at least), she is apparently able to "bank up" by sleeping for longer, and then stay awake for days without ill effects.
• Speed Blitz: The Dantrovian "fight-or-flight" adrenaline overdrive, which basically turns her into the Tasmanian Devil for several minutes, after which she falls over, exhausted and unconscious.

J. Maurice "Moose" MacEchearn the Fourth

• The Big Guy: Moose is from the planet Hoffman, whose inhabitants were genetically engineered to withstand its high gravity.

• Super-Strength: In Wounded Rose, Moose effortlessly picks up a crated upright piano and carries it on his shoulder; later he carries it for an extended distance held out in front of him at arm's length.

Devlin Carter (or Carter Devlin, take your pick)

• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: With regard to his psionic abilities, which he's kept hidden for years to avoid the Psi Cops.
• Mad Libs Catch Phrase: "I'm not very X, but I am Y", with X and Y being situationally-determined qualities; this is often self-deprecation, as Devlin frequently displays both qualities. A few examples:
  "I'm not very smart, but my memory's good."
  "I'm not very good with computers, but locks like me."
  "I'm not very rich, but I am a gentleman."
  "I'm not very strong, but I'm dext'rous."
  "I'm not very brave, but I am loyal."

• Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: It's noticed that once Dorothy joins the group at WPI, Devlin's "comic-opera Lord Peter Wimsey" accent tends to lighten around her.

Kitarina Dragonaar

• Legacy of Service: The Dragonaar family has served the Dessler family for generations. "For every Dessler, a Dragonaar."

Liza Broadbank / Liza R'tas Shustal

• Healing Hands: Liza discovers that she's an anodyne, who can heal injuries psychically. Repairing particularly bad injuries seem to be Cast from Hit Points.

• Hoist by Her Own Petard: Her plan to harass Kaitlyn by getting Devlin captured by the Psi Corps went spectacularly wrong; she only got out by Kaitlyn's Save the Villain moment.

• Tyke-Bomb: Liza was deliberately conceived and raised by her parents to torment Kaitlyn, as part of her father's obsession with proving that Gryphon wasn't as good and heroic as he appears to the galaxy at large.

Clarissa Broadbank

• Tyke-Bomb: Clarissa was deliberately conceived and raised by her parents to torment Gryphon and MegaZone's children, as part of her father's obsession with proving that Gryphon wasn't as good and heroic as he appears to the galaxy at large. Unlike her sisters, she not only fully embraced the role, she expanded on it.

Marietta Broadbank

• Lonely Rich Kid: Because she refused to act as a nemesis/tormentor for the youngest Hutchins/Morgan/Daniels children, her parents ignored and isolated her, and eventually all but disowned her. Fortunately, it's noticed, her guardianship is taken away from her parents, and Belldandy practically adopts her.
• Tyke-Bomb: Averted. Although Marietta was deliberately conceived and raised by her parents to torment Gryphon and MegaZone's children, as part of her father's obsession with proving that Gryphon wasn't as good and heroic as he appears to the galaxy at large, she refused to go along with her father's agenda.

• Emergency Transformation (Similar to MegaZone's case above, Achika's Detian nigh-immortality is forced to activate early after she suffers accidental cranial trauma at the hands of Len Hutchins.)

M'yl'ya "Emmy" Kyn'o'bi

• Ancestral Weapon: The lightsaber of O'bi-Wann Kyn'o'bi

Hiroshi Morisato

• Can't Stay Normal: Chooses not to embrace his divine heritage in favor of being a normal human, but then goes and builds himself a Mol unit, which leads to him accidentally becoming Ultraman.

Mirai Morisato

• Genius Ditz: Although she initially gives every impression of being nothing more than a fashion-obsessed airhead, as of the events of Code-Name Ultra it's clear that Mirai is a genius at public relations and managing media — to the point where her airhead persona may actually be little more than Obfuscating Stupidity.

• Refusal of the Call: Like her brother Hiroshi, appears to have declined the benefits of her divine heritage.

Theodora "Buttercup" Utonium

• Expy In this "official" illustration◊ of the Utonium sisters as teenagers, Buttercup was explicitly modeled on "a militant Akane Tendo", according to the artist.

• Unlucky Childhood Friend Nurtured a secret crush on Corwin, but never said anything about it until after Corwin and Utena bonded

Theresa "Bubbles" Utonium

• Expy (In this "official" illustration◊ of the Utonium sisters as teenagers, Bubbles is modeled somewhat on Sasami Jurai Masaki.)

Blossom Utonium

• Expy (In this "official" illustration◊ of the Utonium sisters as teenagers, Blossom was modeled on Asuka Sohryuu Langley.)

Fuu Hououji

• Eloquent in My Native Tongue: A rare inversion. Her native Funkotroni sounds like Jive Talk, but her Standard is as close to keigo as possible.

R. Dorothy Waynewright

• Replacement Goldfish: Dorothy was built to replace her creator's late daughter.

• Robosexual: Is in a serious relationship with Miki for an unspecified length of time.

• Sexbot: Subverted. Although she is "anatomically complete" and capable of sexual relationships, she was not designed nor used by her creator for that purpose. He was probably just trying to design the most complete Replacement Goldfish he could.

Alaia ner Ronor

• Power Incontinence: Her power of accessing the past is so strong that she had to cut herself off from the Force to control it, which makes her temporarily useless as a Jedi.

Houkago Tea Time

The rock band formed by the Asami Sato Girls' Academy Light Music Club on Díqiù, consisting of Yui Hirasawa, Ritsu Tainaka, Mio Akiyama, Tsumugi Kotobuki and the grumpy Azusa Nakano.

• Adaptational Badass: Since they now come from the setting of The Legend of Korra, Ritsu is a firebender, and Mio has low-level airbending ability in addition to being the heir to a kendo dojo who always carries a sword along with her bass.

Cephirans

Most of these have some exotic hair color, by virtue of being from Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Utena Tenjou

• The Chosen One: Certain factions late in Symphony of the Sword think that Utena is "the One" due to how much change she tends to instigate. She did win the power to revolutionize the world, after all.
• Cool Sword: Four! The Sword of Dios, renamed The Heart of the Rose, a sword that appears to be made of her Heroic Spirit alone. The Thorn of the Rose, a Valkyrie blade of deeply blued steel bearing the runic inscription: "Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty." And finally, a red lightsaber. And now, Cortana, forged of the same steel as Durandal and Joyeuse. Given her unpredictable fighting style, it's hard to tell which is the better weapon.

• Warrior Prince: The reason for having the Rose Prince in the first place.

Anthy Himemiya

• Flower Motifs: Special mention for the Rose Bride, who keeps her greenhouse full of roses and casts rose-based magic spells.
• Friend to All Living Things: At one point she befriends, of all things, a badger.
• Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: As in Revolutionary Girl Utena, played with. She can heal with a touch, and buff the Sword of Dios, and fights with a staff, so she might seem like a White Magician Girl. But then there are her offensive spells, like her truly terrifying death of dreams, that put her into Lady of Black Magic territory.
• The Hecate Sisters: Related to the above; this trope is heavily played with. Anthy's character spends so much time crossing the line between being a princess that needs to be protected, and a old and scheming witch that it's hard to tell how to classify her. This is intentional, and part of the deconstruction from the original source. But as she goes forward in Symphony of the Sword, the reconstruction enhances both her witch and princess aspects as she finds her prince and trains to be a sorceress — and then she decides to be a mother. By the end of the Symphony, she's an exemplar of all three aspects of Hecate: maiden, mother, and witch.

• Magic Kiss: The buff thing she does with the Heart of the Rose, Utena's sword, which is still as symbolic as ever.
• Non-Human Sidekick: The Ridiculously Cute Critter Chu-Chu, though we don't see him much after the Second Symphony. Chu-Chu's most recent appearance in "Try, Try Again", when he makes his appearance perched on Korra's shoulder, implies that he's originally from Diqiu.

Kyouichi Saionji

• Deadpan Snarker: Probably the first one gated to WPI so that Gryphon could use the word "sardonic" more.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Played with. After getting his keister handed to him by Kaitlyn, he becomes... the fry cook at WPI's student dining hall. And eventually one of Utena's closer friends.
• Insanity Immunity: Psi Cop Roger Tremayne's psionic attacks have no effect on Kyouichi "Crazy Train" Saionji.
• Insult of Endearment: The Art of Noise is fond of calling him "Crazy Train", and performing the song in his honor.

• Teach Me How To Fight: Played with, since he was already an experienced kendoka when he asked Kaitlyn. Still, he had been on quite the losing streak, losing to Utena, Touga, and finally Kaitlyn before his self-esteem issues finally caught up with him.

Wakaba Shinohara

• Took a Level in Badass: The anime makes a point of how ordinary she is (though, like everything else in Utena, this is subject to subversion and Mind Screw). So then Skuld goes and makes her a Lensman, and she becomes The Green Lensman.

Juri Arisugawa

• Unstoppable Rage After Carmela Sunderland telepathically shatters the mental wall holding back all of her pent up frustrations. Kaitlyn manages to calm her down shortly after.

Miki Kaoru

• Ethical Slut: It's rather subtly hinted that as a result of his relationship with Azalynn, Miki has come to follow, to some degree, the Dantrovian religion.
• Friends with Benefits: His relationship with Azalynn before moving on to more serious involvements with others.
• Half-Identical Twins with sister Kozue, although not to the point that they're indistinguishable from each other.
• Iconic Item: Miki's stopwatch gives him the nickname "the Lord of Time".

• Robosexual: Is in a serious relationship with R. Dorothy for an unspecified length of time.

• Twin Telepathy: A limited version with Kozue; they can't really communicate, but they mesh into essentially a single four-armed organism during certain tasks — like playing piano duets or piloting starships in battle.

Kozue Kaoru

• Ethical Slut: What she resolved to be after Miki disappeared from Cephiro, but circumstances have ended up forcing her to be (mostly) celibate since then.

• Half-Identical Twins with brother Miki, although not to the point that they're indistinguishable from each other.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Quite the Tear Jerker, especially for herself, when she breaks it off with Corwin. It shows you how far she's come from her former self at Ohtori Academy.
• Twin Telepathy: A limited version with Miki; they can't really communicate, but they mesh into essentially a single four-armed organism during certain tasks — like playing piano duets or piloting starships in battle.

Celestial and Infernal Entities

Includes basically everyone who is not from Midgard, the Tenth World, or Parallel Universe versions of Midgard.

Gods and Devils get Facial Markings, à la Ah! My Goddess.

Corwin Ravenhair

• The Chosen One: Corwin's nickname, as a running joke in the family. Urd said that Corwin was the fulfillment of some ancient prophecy, but doesn't even remember saying it due to being drunk on sake at the time. Yes, the Norn of Memory forgot.

• Forgets to Eat: At least he did when he was younger and working on a big project; he seems better about it as an adult.

• Mission from God: His Trial of Ascendance, in which he is sent to Cephiro, the Tenth World, to figure out what the hell is going on there and report back to Odin and Asgard on what he found.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: He is actually invulnerable to anything from Cephiro, due to being the Pillar. But he's pretty damn tough to everything else, being a half Physical God and half Detian.

Eris / Peorth Charmsinger

• Canon Foreigner: To Norse Mythology but included in AMG — so the perfect place to fit Eris in!

Baldr/Balder Goldenlight

• Nigh-Invulnerability: Though, as in Norse Mythology, the "nigh" part is pretty important to the story. But it's a lot bigger problem than some mistletoe.

Touga Kiryuu

• Handsome Lech: He even tries hitting on Uum'y while they're in a swordfight to the death.
• Killed Off for Real: Is finally rendered Deader than Dead by the spirit of Avatar Kyoshi, during the climax of Taken By Storm.

Nanami Kiryuu

• The Cassandra: It didn't work with Utena, and Wakaba thought she was crazy. But it planted the seed of doubt in Wakaba, which was just enough to keep her head above water, so to speak.

• More than Mind Control: Not explicitly detailed, but implied to be a combination of Brother–Sister Incest and Stockholm Syndrome. Yikes.

Nall Silverclaw

• Through His Stomach: He has plenty reasons to love Belldandy, but the lasagne tops the list. Uum'y cooked for him in Cephiro, and we know how that turned out.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can switch between winged cat, elf-like humanoid, and full dragon shapes, although the latter seems to exhaust him if maintained for too long. (Then again, he's still quite young by draconic standards; presumably it'll stop being exhausting when he's older.)

• Physical God: of Death. after Twilight, she's co-ruler, with her partner Forseti, of Hel (one "l", not two - Nilfhelm, Surtur's realm, is Hell in UF), the domain where all those who have led good lives but who don't make the cut for entry into Valhalla go in the afterlife. Gryphon once described UF-Hel in the forums as being a lot like Minneapolis - mighty cold in the winter, but otherwise a very nice place.

Vinzanthaxatobernel (Tobernel)

• Death Equals Redemption: Pretty much the only example of this in The 'Verse, though, being a Time Lord, He Gets Better.
• Evil Chancellor: More like Jerkass/Well-Intentioned Extremist High Chancellor than truly evil, though he gets so close to the Moral Event Horizon that only a moral TARDIS could get him out.
