"Finally, I've found you, TERUMI! It's time you answered for your crimes!"
Hakumen
Dark Avatars Hakumen
An
Alternate Universe version of his canon self, Hakumen first appeared through a portal from Kagutsuchi. Initially, he was obsessed with hunting down Terumi Yuuki, even going so far as to threaten the Other of him present at the time. Eventually, though, he managed to calm down and blend in with the rest of the Avatars, becoming a different person in the process.
It is later revealed that this Hakumen comes from a
Bad Future where Terumi triumphed, and is now Imperator of the NOL
alongside Relius.
- Anti-Hero: Not so much on the "anti" part anymore.
- Becoming the Mask: Initially, Hakumen only pretended to be sociable in the hopes of finding a way back to Kagutsuchi. You can guess how well that went.
- Berserk Button: Terumi, Complete Monsters, Terumi, nuclear weapons (which he considers the vilest weapons known to man), and Terumi.
- BFS: Ookami.
- Character Development: Initially focused only on getting back to his home dimension and killing Terumi, Hakumen soon lightened up and became much more personable, even showing emotions other than rage for the first time.
- The Comically Serious
- Determinator: Getting Mind Raped only served to enrage him.
- The Faceless: Until he unmasks.
- Heroic BSOD: During the Rota's Memories arc, when Rota's experiences remind him too much of the circumstances in which he last saw Tsubaki.
- Knight Templar: Before Character Development kicked in.
- My Greatest Failure: Or failures, rather. He is especially broken up about failing to save Tsubaki.
- Not so Above It All: Occasionally gets sucked into the wacky hijinks of the Group.
- Only Sane Man: Most of the time.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to AxeCop!Kotohime after she cuts Ty's head off and starts talking about being a "good guy" killing "bad guys". To quote:
"Hero? Let me tell you about heroism. I've seen criminals who are a thousand times more heroic than you. You're no hero. You're just a selfish, bloodthirsty beast who thinks she can get away with murder by justifying it as heroic. You are a disgusting scumbag. A disgrace. A piece of sickening filth. You have no honor or virtue whatsoever. Now get out of here before I do something I'll regret."
- Ship Tease: With Tsubaki.
- Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes: Initially a Type IV/Type III Anti-Hero, Hakumen drops to Type II and eventually loses the "Anti" part altogether.
- Soul Jar: His suit.
- The Stoic
- Not So Stoic: He breaks down while watching Rota's memories unfold.
- Straight Man: To Caim.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Goes from slightly psychotic Knight Templar to the calm, level-headed (but often irritated) big brother figure he is now.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Caim.
- White-Haired Pretty Boy: After unmasking.
A second Hakumen was also part of the Dark Avatars: however, this one is actually an other of Terumi Yuuki in the Susanooh armor.
"It's MURDERIN' TIME!"
No one is quite sure when Caim made it to Detroit, or how he made it there. All the Group knows is that one day, he met him when he tried to bash the door down with his sword. Despite his sociopathic tendencies, he managed to fit into the Group and become accepted as one of them- albeit a member more often censured than not.
Red Dragon Angelus
Human Angelus
Caim's pact partner, a powerful red dragon. She serves as the voice of reason to counterbalance Caim's insanity.
During the Group's visit to
Amestris, Angelus was turned into a human after being struck by a bolt of lightning. She gained the ability to change between human and dragon forms after donning a choker that was won by Caim in the Nether Vegas casino.
In Hakumen's
Bad Future, Kokonoe is the leader of
the resistance against Emperor Terumi, formed by the alliance of Sector Seven with groups of NOL defectors. However, Kokonoe knew that they lack the manpower needed to wage a full-fledged war against the NOL; thus, she made the decision to send Hakumen into another reality hoping that he may find allies.
Later, she and four of her allies would head for Detroit. Upon their arrival, they set up a base in an
Abandoned Warehouse; however, an attack by Imperator Relius' Doll Army followed, leading Kokonoe to the Group, who fought off the Doll contingent sent to stop their representative. This prompted Kokonoe to forge an alliance between her group and Hakumen's new friends, in the hopes that they would guard each others' backs- a move that led to the two groups becoming friendly with each other.
Bang Shishigami was part of the group accompanying Kokonoe to Detroit, and was one of the first after Carl to become acquainted to the Group. He helped rescue Pride from the warehouse and played a part in defeating Him. Lately, he's found a friend in
Mic Sounders the 13th, who he considers a kindred spirit.
As part of Kokonoe's Resistance, Carl was the first member of Kokonoe's Resistance the Group encountered, having been sent to pick up Hakumen and any allies he may have made. However, his first meeting with the Group was not what he expected, as he met them while fighting off the Dolls sent by Relius.
Kokonoe's father and one of the Six Heroes, Jubei is an old friend of Hakumen's. He is also the template for the creation of the Kaka clan.
Once thought to be dead, Tsubaki showed up via portal at the Avatars' house, much to the surprise and joy of Hakumen. Since then, she's been part of many of the Group's adventures, helping to save Pride and Kelly Distasio.
Part of a duo of bounty hunters from the universe of
Lamento- beyond the void, he and Rai found themselves stranded in an unfamiliar town after walking through a mysterious stone gate.
While wandering through this new world, Konoe encountered the Avatars as they chased after a
possessed Pride, and joined the chase immediately. Afterwards, finding no way of returning to their home, he and Rai decide to stick with the Avatars for the time being. He would go on to help save Pride from Him's clutches and become of Mammon's pupils, learning
Water and
Ice magic in the process.
Konoe's companion and lover. He is the more level-headed and cautious of the two. Whenever Konoe slips up, he is usually the first to chastise him.
For some inconceivable reason, this blast from
Final Fantasy's past appeared when the Group had a
random encounter in the world of
Gaia. He himself isn't quite sure what happened, but he quickly found his niche in the Group as their protector.
An affable angel of the order of Principalities who serves YHVH, Aziriphale accidentally teleported Hakumen and his group to Heaven when he left open a portal. Thankfully, no lasting damage was dealt, and the problem was quickly smoothed over.
He reappeared in the second
The Bus Came Back arc, looking for a young woman's missing
Metal Slime pet. That young woman later turns out to be much more than she looks...
A young woman who first appeared during the second
The Bus Came Back arc, searching for her pet
Metal Slime. After Aziriphale found it for her, she joined the rest of the group she met and became fast friends with them.
However, none of them are aware that Meria is merely the form a world-devouring
Eldritch Abomination has taken to observe the world.
One of the more sane members of the Dark Avatars, he is also one of the few who has an altruistic motive: to create a refuge for victims of
Fantastic Racism. To this end, he's joined the Dark Avatars in order to gather the resources he needs.
He also seems to be on good terms with Carona.
Word Of God is that after the event of the Dark Avatars Arc, he and the Dark Avatars version of Hakumen joined Carona on Phantom Isle to plan their next move.
- Only Sane Man: His maturity and levelheadedness mark him as the opposite of the more enthusiastic Joey Jones.
An agent of the Time-Space Defense Coalition, Joey Jones was assigned alongside Gideon Jura to watch the Group (designation Alpha-616) and report anything suspicious. So far, he has only appeared twice to the group: once to capture the
Ultimate Warrior, and once to Vivian— although he hopes to talk with the Group someday.
