History Characters / PowerAcademyPartyMembers

* ActionGirl: All of the female members, with Tala and Willow of the [[DarkActionGirl Dark variety]].
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: There are various unlockable alternate costumes. Played with, however, in that certain costumes may grant minor bonuses depending on the character.
** KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Both male and female students have formal outfits as alternates.
** NoCutsceneInventoryInertia: Averted. For the most part, whatever the character wears or has equipped, they still have in cutscenes. [[RuleOfFunny ...even in flashbacks where the characters couldn't possibly have their current equipment, funnily enough.]]
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Justified most of the time. Although only 6 party members (plus the player character) can be active in battle at a time, the others are usually off doing other important things in the mission.
* BadassCrew: As their reputation grows over the course of the game, these particular students are recognized as a group that is ''not'' to be trifled with.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Just about everyone in the group, really (albeit to varying extents).
* PartyInMyPocket: The character seen in the overworld can be switched out for anyone brought along in the party. Sometimes it's necessary to trigger certain scenes or sidequests.

* RequiredPartyMember: During each party member's respective personal quest, they are always along for the ride by default.
** [[InvertedTrope Conversely,]] if a party member is [[BadassInDistress held captive]] or otherwise unavailable, the party will have to rescue them or complete some other requirement before they become playable again.
* RomanceSidequest: Party members can be romanced by the player character. Additionally, many of them [[BetaCouple can romance each other,]] and can even be [[TheMatchmaker set up by the player character.]]
** MatchmakerQuest

** Level III (Common Beauty): Corvus, Helena, Layla, Sam, Talan, Val, Willow
** Level IV (Imperfect Beauty): Dawn, Fogron, Isaac

* [[TechnicalPacifist Technical Pacifists]]: With Alderon, Dark!Simon, Tala, and (depending on the persona) Willow being exceptions.
* TrueCompanions: What they [[EarnYourHappyEnding (ideally)]] develop into.

->'''Unique Ability:''' Angel of Death (Upon reaching 0 HP, Alderon has a 30% chance of automatically reviving himself at 20% HP.)

While a formidable fighter in his own right, Alderon specializes in summoning undead creatures to assist him in combat. Later, once he becomes the Angel of Death, he gains the ability to fly. Can be romanced by a [[GayOption male]] player character.

* AngelicBeauty: Angel of Death, anyway. A couple of generic NPC students even compare him to a standard angel.
* AntiHero / AntiVillain: He started out as purely neutral, but is now the former.
* AutoRevive: Has a 1 in 3 chance of automatically doing this for himself, and can later be unlocked as one of his highest-level abilities.
* {{Badass}}: He's one of the few people who can stand up to Demon!Helena as an equal in combat.

* EveryScarHasAStory / ScarSurvey: A character close to (or romancing) Alderon can hear the story behind his scars. [[{{Fanservice}} Doubles as a nice]] ShirtlessScene, even after his transformation.

* GayOption: For male player characters.

* TheGrimReaper: Training to be one. In his personal quest, he finally becomes the Angel of Death.
* HealingHands: Has some healing abilities.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero / IDidWhatIHadToDo: He brings Helena back from the dead, but only to prevent her from taking over the underworld--which would be even worse.

->'''Unique Ability:''' Martial Artist (Gains a damage and defense bonus while fighting unarmed.)

In combat, Alice is a powerful, straight-up brawler thanks to her SuperStrength (though she is [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer direct to a fault]] in this regard); outside of battle, she's an experienced mechanic and is adept at repairing machines and equipment. Can be romanced by a male player character.

* BestHerToBedHer: Played with; even if a male character utterly fails in a one-on-one spar with her, it doesn't affect their relationship (just a bit of dialogue).

* CoolBigSis: To Valerie and Layla. Can form a similar bond with a female player character in the game.

* EveryScarHasAStory / ScarSurvey: A character close to (or romancing) Alice can ask about the story behind her scars, including the eyepatch.

->'''Unique Ability:''' Master Markswoman (Tala gains +15% accuracy with ranged weapons, and has twice as much ammo.)

* BarelyThereSwimwear: Her beachwear.

* DatingCatwoman: Very likely if romanced.
* DefusingTheTykebomb: [[spoiler:One part of her questline involves deprogramming post-hypnotic failsafes that Jackal installed in her mind to ensure her loyalty.]]

* GayOption: For female player characters. A male player can also romance her, but it is significantly more difficult.

* HeelFaceTurn: Can potentially be brought to the heroes' side.
** LoveRedeems: Especially if she's in a relationship with one of them.

* JetPack: As a gift from Isaac or the player character.

* SlapSlapKiss: With Isaac.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to both Val and Wendy's girly girls. Played with in Wendy's case, in that Wendy has the tougher, more masculine physique while Tala appears more feminine.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She secretly likes some feminine things, such as the color pink.

* VillainessesWantHeroes: Especially since one of her most likely pairings is with Val.

Though he is a shapeshifter, Talan focuses primarily on his technopathy, which translates into strong support abilities in combat. He ends up being the player character's roommate if they are male. Can be romanced by a female [[GayOption or male]] player character.

* [[FirstGirlWins First Guy Wins]]: If romanced. He's the first male party member that the player character comes across.

* GayOption: For male characters.

* BiTheWay
** TestKiss: With Layla, during a sleepover a short time before the game's events. It was a playful dare, but it's how she came to realize she liked women.

* GayOption: For female player characters.

->'''Unique Ability:''' Ancestral Presence (Willow can switch between multiple personas for different abilities.)

In addition to her [[LeParkour parkour]] abilities and psychic powers coming in handy, Willow's fighting style changes depending on which ancestor[=/=]persona is currently taking hold (five in total). Can be romanced by a male player character.

* GenkiGirl: Has her moments from time to time.

* SpyCatsuit: Wears a skintight blue-and-yellow jumpsuit. By her admission to the player character, [[LampshadeHanging she agrees that it's rather revealing.]] She even playfully teases a male character by [[{{Fanservice}} unzipping it slightly.]]

* SpoiledSweet

This is an alternate version of Helena who crossed over from an alternate universe. Unlike [[AxCrazy the one that the heroes]] [[OmnicidalManiac are familiar with]], this Helena has vowed to use her powers for good after experiencing great tragedy. First, the Talan and Swilium of her world ended up killing each other during a heated fight. She later found love and solace in the form of Samantha, a gender-flipped Sam, but that didn't end well either--albeit for different reasons. [[spoiler:A few months after they met, an unstoppable demonic force invaded and attacked the city they lived in--led by the demonic Helena from the heroes' universe. The two repelled the attack, but despite Helena's attempts to save her, Samantha ended up being killed in the fight. Distraught, she began wandering between worlds to stop such a tragedy from occurring again, eventually finding her way to our heroes' dimension. It is later revealed that her universe was conquered by Terminus some time after she left.]]

* HeartbrokenBadass: She had feelings for both the Talan and Swilium of her universe, and each loved her. However, the two ended up killing each other in a heated fight. [[spoiler:To say nothing of how things ended with Samantha.]]
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:She blames herself for not being able to save Samantha.]]

* LovingAShadow: During her romance arc, [[spoiler:it turns out she hasn't gotten over Samantha's death yet. This is even more apparent if Sam's the one she's romancing.]]

* SurvivorGuilt: Experiences this after the incident with the Talan and Swilium of her universe. [[spoiler:And then again with Samantha's death. And then yet again with Terminus' destroying her home dimension.]]

* StraightGay: Although it's just as likely that he's demisexual, as he finds himself attracted to Beth long after forming an emotional bond with her. Women tend to be the exception rather than the rule for him though.

When he was 14, Sam's parents (both psychics) were killed in a suspicious accident--and soon after, Jonathan Knight offered him a chance to live with him and his daughter. The young psychic suspected an obvious connection, but had little choice in the matter. He was intended as an heir to Knight Research and a future husband for Beth; though the two became close friends [[WholesomeCrossdresser (even sharing dresses]]), Sam refused to have anything to do with the company once he learned what they were up to. Upon catching wind of this, Jonathan changed plans and made him a test subject. He was regularly beaten by the company's guards for two months during their downtime. However, Drake saved him during the mass breakout Helena caused; the two have been on the run ever since.

* MsFanservice: Has the figure of a supermodel (and wants to be a model, in fact), well-endowed on all fronts, and often wears revealing dresses; she can't walk down the halls of the Academy without turning at least one head. [[LampshadeHanging This is not lost on her peers at all.]]

* TheTease:

Sam's father, a psychic and heavy gambler, made the mistake of gambling against Jonathan Knight. Knight wagered his company in a card game, while Sam's father wagered his son, believing he had the game in the bag. However, Knight [[RealityWarper altered reality]] and tampered with the cards to tip the scales in his favor, and thus took Sam prisoner. He was intended as a boyfriend for Beth; the two became close friends [[WholesomeCrossdresser (even sharing dresses]]), but Knight changed plans and made him a test subject. He was regularly beaten by the company's guards for two months during their downtime. However, Drake saved him during the mass breakout Helena caused; the two have been on the run ever since.

* BiTheWay: Although it's just as likely that he's demisexual, as he finds himself attracted to Beth long after forming an emotional bond with her. Women tend to be the exception rather than the rule for him though.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Played straight with Alice and Wendy, downplayed with Beth and Helena.

* ParentalAbandonment: His parents were heavy gamblers, amassing a fortune with their winnings. Eventually, Sam's father lost a wager to Jonathan Knight, ending up being forced to give Sam away (he viewed his son with as much value as Jonathan's company).

* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Light to Dahlia's Dark, considering the two grew up in similar circumstances.

[[folder:Tala X]]
!Tala X

Talan's twin sister, though the two were separated at birth. While her brother was raised as a hero, Tala was brought up by her villainous foster father, Jackal, to be a powerful living weapon. She definitely succeeded in this regard, but because of his overly controlling tendencies, she found herself miserable and friendless. Once she met Talan (and had a brief romance with his friend Alderon), she has begun to question her loyalties. Tala is much more antiheroic than her brother, caring only about kicking ass and having fun doing so.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: A downplayed example. Nobody sexually harasses her, but she often inadvertently finds herself in fanservicey situations, much to her chagrin.

A distant relative of Jackal, Fogron was born with a rare disease. His father Franklin, a great scientist, came up with a cure...which caused Fogron's skin to be horrifically burned and scarred. To stop him from burning, his father panicked and threw an experimental solution at his son's face. Although his disease was [[spoiler:apparently]] cured, he ended up with a glowing throat and eyes, having to wear a fake skin and contacts to conceal them in addition to the scars. As he got into crimefighting (alongside his friends Talan and Alderon), Fogron has been forced to clean up the mess of Jackal's evil shenanigans--not that chasing after him is hard, given his powers.

* BlackAndNerdy

Although he's mainly a summoner in terms of powers, he's also a GadgeteerGenius adept at crafting complex devices and equipment out of mundane objects (both in battle and out).

* TheAtoner

* TheBeastmaster

* DeadpanSnarker
* DoomMagnet

* NearKiss: He and a female PC can have one.

* OfficialCouple: With Claire.

* LovingAShadow: During her romance arc, [[spoiler:it turns out she can't get over Samantha's death. This is even more apparent if Sam's the one she's romancing.]]

* BiTheWay

* GadgeteerGenius

* HandsomeLech
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: The reason why he considers Talan a rival. Isaac has spent much of his life learning about mechanics and technology, becoming an accomplished GadgeteerGenius...and then [[{{Technopath}} Talan]], who can near-instantly repair a machine, suddenly appears in his life, as if to upstage him.

* JetPack

* MrFanservice

* SexySpectacles: To him, any attractive person with glasses is instantly sexier. Also applies to him, as Tala says his glasses make him cuter.

* {{Tsundere}}

* AmbiguouslyBi: She's pretty clearly (and predominantly) into guys. At the same time, she had her first kiss with Val (and she's the only girl she can romance). It helps that she doesn't specifically refer to herself as straight or bi.

* TheCutie

* FunPersonified: Aside from [[spoiler:her backstory and resulting brief HeroicBSOD]], she's one of the most lighthearted characters in TheVerse, thanks in part to her cheerful, cutesy and hyperactive demeanor.

* BiTheWay: Although it's just as likely that he's demisexual, as he finds himself attracted to Beth long after forming an emotional bond with her. Women tend to be exception rather than the rule for him though.

* HotBlooded: Despite being so frail.

* IncompatibleOrientation: Subverted. When Jonathan took him away, he was intended to be a boyfriend for Bethany, but he was less interested in her and more interested in her dresses. She didn't even mind. In the present day, however, he mentions that he'd be willing to date her.

* AccidentalPervert

* CastingAShadow

* RedEyesTakeWarning

She makes frequent use of her shapeshifting abilities, though she is limited to turning her arms into various weapons. Can be romanced by a [[GayOption female]] or male player character.

* DoesNotLikeMen: With only two exceptions: [[StraightGay Alderon]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Isaac]]. More specifically, she doesn't so much hate men as distrust them.

* NoSocialSkills

* AThreesomeIsHot: Mentions this during a truth or dare game.

** TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She secretly likes some feminine things, such as the color pink.

** TestKiss: With Layla, during a sleepover a short time before the game's events. It was a playful dare, but it's how she came to realize she was bisexual.

* ButNotTooBi / IfItsYouItsOkay: The characters have varying degrees of attraction to men and/or women. Most of the nominally straight characters have one or two exceptions they're willing to try romancing. That said, they're not all automatically interested in the player character. (For instance, Alderon can only be romanced by the PC if the latter is male, but he makes exceptions for Alice and Tala.)
* MasterOfUnlocking: The tech-based party members have the ability to hack security systems.
* SlidingScaleOfBeauty:
** Level II (World Class Beauty): Alderon, Alice, Beth, Simon, Tala
** Level III (Common Beauty): Corvus, Helena, Layla, Sam, Talan, Val, Willow
** Level IV (Imperfect Beauty): Dawn, Fogron, Isaac
** Level V (Cool/Special Average): Gill

* RomanceSidequest: Most of them can be romanced by the player character. Additionally, many of the party members [[BetaCouple can romance each other,]] and can be [[TheMatchmaker set up by the player character.]]

The friendlier of the [=DeRain=] brothers, Alderon has spent much of his life training in the underworld to become the Angel of Death. Although he starts out fairly neutral, he soon becomes firmly heroic, [[DarkIsNotEvil using his powers to fight evil.]]

* AngelicBeauty: Angel of Death, technically, but still very bishonen.

* DarkIsNotEvil: He's ''the literal Grim Reaper'', but is incredibly kind and friendly.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Male variant; he tends to get distracted by attractive guys' looks when first meeting them. He's also the subject of this, with various women ogling him [[WalkingShirtlessScene once he becomes]] [[OneWingedAngel the Angel of Death]].

* {{Familiar}}: His skeleton wolf.

* MrFanservice:

* StraightGay

Hailing from Alabama (which in this timeline has been reduced to a monster-infested wasteland following a strange meteor impact), Alice left her home to seek out a new life for herself and her family. She ended up finding Val and her companions, joining them in the fight against evil.

* BareYourMidriff: Loves showing off her rock-hard six-pack abs.

* SweetHomeAlabama: Speaks with a Dixie accent.
* TheTease

* WrenchWench

* BarelyThereSwimwear: Her beachwear.

* NightmareFetishist: Non-sexual variety. When meeting Gill's familiar Snare for the first time, she finds him adorable.

* TechnicalPacifist: [[spoiler:Unless Jonathan is involved in the fight.]]

->'''Unique Ability:''' Earthly Resilience (+10% bonus to armor protection. Melee attacks have a chance to temporarily decrease enemies' accuracy.)

One of Alice's childhood friends and old sparring partners from the Outlands, Corvus' parents died in a monster attack when he was a young child. He was left to wander the wastelands with her and her family for years. Originally, when Alice was offered the chance to fight evil alongside Val and her other companions, Corvus refused the call, wanting to stay and protect his other friends and family. However, something has apparently changed, as he has suddenly arrived at the Academy...

* {{Keet}}: He has some playful trickster tendencies, and in battle he tends to gush over cool moves in BuffySpeak.

* StraightGay

* BiTheWay

* GeniusDitz: Though Layla is often flighty and naive, she's far from stupid. She's good with technology, for instance--as long as she's well-grounded. [[spoiler:She also has advanced scientific knowledge imprinted into her mind, and even becomes the school's psychiatrist in one timeline.]]

* SecondLove: For Talan.

* {{Squee}}: Does this. Often. Sometimes replaced with "Kyaa!"
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Very temporarily, during her personal quest. She tries to remain upbeat to avoid appearing weak in front of the others...and doesn't keep it up for long.]]
* TearsOfJoy: Upon finding Talan's diary entry declaring his love for her.

Sam is a powerful psychic, much more attuned to offensive combat than Drake, but is still very fragile. Can be romanced by a [[GayOption male]] or female player character. He and Drake are already boyfriends at the start of the game, but are at a very rocky point in their relationship; the player can persuade them to stay together, or they will otherwise break up.

* BiTheWay: Although it's just as likely that he's demisexual, as he finds himself attracted to Beth long after forming an emotional bond with her.

* NiceShoes: A pair of black high-heeled Mary-Janes.

* TheKirk

In addition to her [[LeParkour parkour]] abilities and psychic powers coming in handy, Willow's fighting style changes depending on which ancestor[=/=]persona is currently taking hold. Can be romanced by a male player character.

* CoolShades

* JekyllAndHyde

* MindOverMatter
* PerkyGoth

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: One of her ancestors.

This is an alternate version of Helena who crossed over from an alternate universe. Unlike [[AxCrazy the one that the heroes]] [[OmnicidalManiac are familiar with]], this Helena has vowed to use her powers for good after experiencing great tragedy. First, the Talan and Swilium of her world ended up killing each other during a heated fight. [[spoiler:She later found love and solace in the form of Samantha, a gender-flipped Sam--but when an unstoppable demonic force attacked the city they lived in, they were cornered. Using a portal machine created by Isaac, Helena escaped her world, with Samantha sacrificing herself to hold the invaders back. Distraught, she began wandering between worlds, eventually finding her way to our heroes' dimension. It is later revealed that said universe was conquered by Terminus some time after she left.]]

* JackOfAllTrades: In terms of power variety.

* SurvivorGuilt: Experiences this after the incident with the Talan and Swilium of her universe. [[spoiler:Terminus invading her home universe and Samantha sacrificing herself to buy Helena some time to escape did not help matters.]]

* InnocentFanserviceBoy
* MrFanservice

Fogron is more or less a FragileSpeedster, his relatively low health compensating for his great agility. He's also immune to damage-over-time effects, such as poison. Can be romanced by a female player character.

* AnythingThatMoves

* BarelyThereSwimwear: Most of her swimwear.
* BlondesAreEvil

->'''Unique Ability:''' Creator's Charm (Healing items and abilities restore 10% more HP than normal.)

* MsFanservice: Has the figure of a supermodel (and wants to be a model, in fact), well-endowed on all fronts, and often wears revealing dresses. [[LampshadeHanging This is not lost on her peers at all.]]
** Invoked when Jonathan created her; she was modeled after an exotic dancer he had an affair with (though this is unknown to Beth).

* AHandfulForAnEye: Corvus' melee attacks have a small chance to temporarily decrease an enemy's accuracy via thrown sand.

* [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Innocent Fanservice Boy]]: Often walks around in just a pair of boxers when off-duty.
* {{Keet}}: Downplayed. Aside from his playful trickster tendencies, in battle he tends to gush over cool moves.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: A downplayed example (see above).

A distant relative of Jackal, Fogron was born with a rare disease. His father Franklin, a great scientist, came up with a cure...which caused Fogron's skin to be horrifically burned and scarred. To stop him from burning, his father panicked and threw an experimental solution at his son's face. Fogron swallowed some, but his entire head was covered in glowing liquid; he now has a glowing head, mouth, and throat. Fogron has been forced to clean up the mess of his Jackal's evil shenanigans. Not that chasing after him is hard, given Fogron's powers.

Fogron is more or less a FragileSpeedster, his relatively low health compensating for his great agility. Can be romanced by a female player character.

* BodyHorror: His skin has been horrifically burned, and he has a glowing throat; he wears a fake skin to cover it up.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim

* ArousedByTheirVoice: Frequent recipient of this.

* MrFanservice: Of the "dark and brooding on the outside/sweet and cuddly on the inside handsome guy" variety. The accent also helps, as noted above.

* MsFanservice:

* BodyguardCrush

* {{Meido}}: She has a sexy miniskirted maid outfit (her work uniform at the local maid cafe) as an unlockable costume.

-->'''Power:''' [[DishingOutDirt Geokinesis]]

* LadyInRed: Wears a red dress and heels for her casual and formal appearances.

* ParentalAbandonment: His parents were heavy gamblers, amassing a fortune with their winnings. Eventually, Sam's father lost a wager to Jonathan Knight, ending up being forced to give Sam away as a slave (he viewed his son with as much value as Jonathan's company).

* {{Tsundere}}

* ActionGirl / DarkActionGirl: All of the female members.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: There are various unlockable alternate costumes. Subverted, however, in that certain costumes may grant minor bonuses depending on the character.

(For instance, Alderon can only be romanced by the PC if the latter is male, but he makes exceptions for Alice and Tala.)

** [[InvertedTrope Conversely,]] if a party member is [[BadassInDistress held captive]] or otherwise unavailable, the party will have to rescue them before they become playable again.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: If romanced. In the forum, she's ready to stand up for El Terre, but won't steal all the fun from him.

* LadyInRed: In her default outfit, an elegant (and [[{{Stripperiffic}} flattering]]) red dress and matching heels.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Physically and mentally 18, but chronologically 8.

* {{Meido}} / FrenchMaid: A hybrid; she has a sexy maid outfit (her work uniform at the local maid cafe) as an unlockable costume.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: A downplayed example.

* BodyHorror: His skin has been horrifically burned, and he has a glowing head, mouth and throat; he wears a fake skin to cover it up.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Above all, he wants to cure his scars

[[FishOutOfTemporalWater Hailing from the 18th century]], Gill was just an everyday postman--one who could telepathically communicate with bugs. Eventually, his town found out about his ability, and ran him out of town, dubbing him a freak. His life was further changed forever when he discovered Tripp, the sentient time gauntlet. Following various adventures through time (gathering several bug companions along the way), Gill has eventually found his way to Power Academy in the present day [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture (or present day, rather)]].

* ThePolyanna

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Her backstory in a nutshell.]]

* FunPersonified: Aside from [[spoiler:her brief HeroicBSOD]], she's one of the most lighthearted characters in TheVerse, thanks in part to her cheerful, cutesy and hyperactive demeanor.

* SugarAndIcePersonality / WhenHeSmiles: As Valerie describes him, "he's like a Sour Patch Watermelon--sour on the outside, sweet on the inside."

* CastFromHitPoints: Its most powerful techniques require a small sacrifice of the user's life force.

* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Deep down, she wants to be more heroic, but thanks to the way she was raised, villainy is what she's always been used to.]]

* MsFanservice: If all these {{Fanservice}} tropes are any indication; likely invoked by Swilium, who wanted her as a girlfriend.

* OppositeSexClone

* MrFanservice

* {{Adorkable}} / [[SociallyAwkwardHero Socially Awkward Heroine]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was constantly picked on/bullied in her childhood for her powers and hair color, though this reinforced her altruistic nature.

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Tends to favor dark and brooding (though not outright evil) people.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome

* EveryoneWantsBlondes: Admits having a thing for blonde hair.

* ShesGotLegs: Especially given her penchant for [[MiniDressOfPower miniskirts]] [[ZettaiRyouiki and thigh-high socks]].

* TrickedOutGloves: Which she has to wear to keep from freezing everything she touches.

* MsFanservice: A downplayed example, but the SpyCatsuit and [[TheTease playful, flirty demeanor]] certainly help.

* SpyCatsuit: Wears a skintight blue-and-yellow jumpsuit. By her admission to the player character, [[LampshadeHanging she agrees that it's a little revealing.]] She even playfully teases a male character by [[{{Fanservice}} unzipping it slightly and showing off.]]
** VaporWear: And by appearances, she doesn't have a bra on underneath.

* BadassPonytail

* StatuesqueStunner: Roughly the same height as Lily.

* CoolSword

* ElementalPowers: Wields a mix of [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[MakingASplash water]], and [[ShockAndAwe electric]] spells, but can only choose one to specialize in.

* {{Meido}} / FrenchMaid: A hybrid. She has a sexy maid outfit (her work uniform at the local maid cafe) as an alternate costume, but it's played more for cuteness.

* SurvivorGuilt: Experiences this after the incident with the Talan and Swilium of her universe. [[spoiler:Terminus invading her home universe and Samantha sacrificing herself to buy Helena some time to escape probably doesn't help matters.]]

* DaddysLittleVillain: Defied; though Jonathan treats her as [[DaddysGirl his little angel]], he tends to ignore her, and she is very much his opposite personality- and morality-wise.

** BuxomIsBetter

[[folder:Dawn]]
!Dawn

One of the newer students at the Academy, Dawn is an inexperienced but enthusiastic battlemage.

* OnlyOneName

* AmplifierArtifact

* FirstGirlWins: If romanced, as the first female party member the player meets.

* DCupDistress: Downplayed; she's not happy about the attention she gets for her figure, but doesn't make that big a deal out of it.
* DualWielding

* TheLancer: Aside from Talan and Val, Dawn is very likely to end up being one of Hikaru's closest companions story-wise.

* {{Meido}}: Has a sexy maid outfit (her work uniform at the local maid cafe) as an alternate costume.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl

Val's younger brother is a prodigy with a knack for invention, taking after their father Slade. Isaac is fairly selfish for a hero, caring mainly about using his inventions for profit and fun rather than about saving the world. He's constantly looking for ways to show off his intellect, and is currently working on a suit of PoweredArmor.

* TheChewToy: His younger self, though he grows out of it.

* SlapSlapKiss: With Tala. His relationship with Wendy is far less adversarial, though.

* BullyHunter: See [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer above.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: He's ''the goddamn Grim Reaper'', but is incredibly kind and friendly.

* SecondLove: For El Terre in the forum.

* FunSize / WaifFu: Notably a little shorter than most of the other students, on par with Fogron and Sam.

* AnIcePerson: Deconstructed; except in special conditions, she has to wear specialized gloves to keep from freezing whatever she touches.

* WhoWearsShortShorts / MiniDressOfPower: Alternates between the two.

[[folder:Sam Manson]]
!Sam Manson

Talan's twin sister, though the two were separated at birth. While her brother was raised as a hero, Tala was brought up by her foster father Jackal to be the ultimate weapon. Because of his overly controlling tendencies, however, she found herself miserable and friendless. Once she met Talan (and had a brief romance with his friend Alderon), she has begun to question her loyalties. Tala is much more antiheroic than her brother, caring only about kicking ass and having fun doing so.

* BlackBraAndPanties

* EveryoneWantsBlondes

* MiniDressOfPower / DangerouslyShortSkirt: If she can wear a miniskirt into battle, she usually will. She uses this as an homage to the MagicalGirl manga she enjoys.

* {{Expy}}: She bears strong similarities to [[VideoGame/PerfectDark Joanna Dark]] in terms of design, and [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Desmond Miles]] in terms of [[LeParkour acrobatic abilities]] and (parts of it, at least) backstory.

** VaporWear: It's implied she doesn't wear anything underneath.

* {{Troll}}: To an extent; she uses her powers to screw with Adrian's mind, but only because she feels he deserved it.

* ButNotTooBi / EveryoneIsBi / IfItsYouItsOkay: The characters have varying degrees of attraction to men and/or women. Most of the nominally straight characters have one or two exceptions they're willing to try romancing. That said, most of them are at least biromantic, if not necessarily bisexual--but they're not all automatically interested in the player character. (For instance, Alderon can only be romanced by the PC if the latter is male, but he makes exceptions for Alice and Tala.)

Hydro/Jana's twin sister (hair and powers aside), Blaze is a brash young woman quick to use her pyrokinesis to solve problems big and small. Orphaned at a young age, she and Jana have spent their lives wandering from town to town, trying to get by; they eventually found their way to Power Academy. Notably, she bears a strong resemblance to Lightning, and claims the three of them are actually long-separated triplets.

Created by Swilium using DNA samples from Xavier, Wendy was intended as a girlfriend. She was made as an amalgamation of what Swilium viewed to be Tala and Xavier's best traits, but he viewed Wendy as a failure, and rejected her in the end anyway. After running away, she eventually found her way to Talan, and then to Power Academy. Her power comes from a magic sketchbook; [[ArtInitiatesLife anything Wendy draws comes to life.]]

In combat, she can use this as a support power, and can also mimic some enemies' abilities. Can be romanced by a [[GayOption female]] or male player character.

* ArtInitiatesLife

Lei-Lani was taken from her home in Hawaii at a young age after her parents mysteriously died, brought to the mainland by Normco. Her original ability was [[MakeMeWannaShout an ultrasonic voice]], but an accident in one of the testing labs shattered some containers. She was drenched in experimental chemicals from the containers which altered her abilities; she gained the ability to negate powers, but lost her voice (she can still talk, but barely).

Lei-Lani takes it upon herself to end fights with her power, being a walking deadzone for superpowers. Can be romanced by a male player character.

One of two [[HumanoidAbomination otherworldly creatures]] that managed to follow Gill through the Void as he crossed from his timeline to the alpha timeline. Prexcilia is hellbent on revenge on Gill for stealing a sentient stabilizer gauntlet (which happens to be Tripp), and on Willow for [[EyeScream taking out both her eyes]], caused when she attacked them on their way through the timestream. She is assisted reluctantly by her brother Quasar.

Prexcilia has a very unusual fighting style; she relies upon a d20, rolled for a random effect. The amount of damage she does is based on what she rolls.

* AffablyEvil
* AntiVillain: She's not really ''evil'' per se; she just wants revenge.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: The last time she and Quasar visited Earth was in the 1920s. It shows. HilarityEnsues!
* {{Asexual}}: Given her relationship with Helena in the forum, Prexy would appear to be StraightGay at first glance. It's more likely, [[HumanoidAbomination given how alien her origins are,]] that she's asexual; she's not attracted to men or women ''specifically,'' but is still capable of falling in love.
* BlindSeer
* ConfusionFu
* DefeatMeansFriendship / PromotedToPlayable: Can join the party after being defeated.

He has wrecked his family life, [[spoiler:inadvertently gotten his girlfriend killed]], and recently learned to sing an ancient language that grants him these abilities. His family line has roots as bards to a king.

* LittleBitBeastly: Has canine ears and a tail.

* CainAndAbel: A cousin variant with Jackal.
** PetTheDog: However, he cares about him enough to give him Phee's ashes, allowing him to revive her.

The result of Vladimir attempting cybernetic modification on a giant spider, Snare is surprisingly upbeat. He's very friendly with the students--and at least tries to be so with the arachnophobic ones.

* LastGirlWins: If romanced. She only first appears at the very start of the second chapter, when everyone else in the party has already been introduced.

* MixedAncestry: Had an Austrian mother and Swedish father, and speaks a bit of both.

* BadassAdorable: Though she's more "beautiful" than "cute," but she still has her adorable moments nonetheless.

* DaddysLittleVillain: Subverted; though Jonathan treats her as [[DaddysGirl his little angel]], he tends to ignore her, and she is very much his opposite personality- and morality-wise.

* MsFanservice: Has the figure of a supermodel (and wants to be a model, in fact), well-endowed on all fronts, and often wears revealing dresses.

* TechnicalPacifist

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Physically and mentally 18, but chronologically 7.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Adrian's Manly Man.

* AccidentalPervert: Accidentally gropes Tala while she's hidden beneath an InvisibilityCloak. He takes the resulting [[ArmorPiercingSlap slap]] in stride.

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl and SecondLove: With Valerie.

* CrossPlayer: Implied; while he and Valerie are talking about the cosplay date she's planning for the school, she mentions that she already has her [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]] cosplay ready. Simon lightheartedly retorts, "You're not making me go as Homura again, are you?"

* GuestStarPartyMember: Occasionally, one of the staff members shows up in the party as a playable member, of the HeroMustSurvive variety, during certain missions.
** Played with in [[spoiler:Slade]]'s case. [[spoiler:He can still die at any time while he's in the party, and the story will be affected by it.]]

* {{Necromancer}}

* PlatonicLifePartners: Played with. Although some other relationships take priority (particularly Foremen), he and Alice are still fairly close, to the point where they [[SleepCute cuddle in bed together]] during ''Global Civil War''.
** He's also this with Talan and Tala.
** During a game of truth or dare, he's dared to kiss Alice for 10 seconds. They end up going for much longer. Afterward, he says that if El Terre and Foremen ever break their hearts, [[IfItsYouItsOkay "I'm buying a ring."]]
* SecondLove: For Foremen.

* StupidSexyFlanders: Has one of these moments with Kylie, herself a LipstickLesbian, saying, "You're pretty cool; if I was into women, I might say hot even." He also enjoys cuddling with Alice.

Hailing from the Outlands, a hellish, irradiated wasteland left over from [[TheGreatOffscreenWar a destructive war long ago]], Alice left her home to seek out a new life for herself and her family. She ended up finding Val and her companions, joining them in the fight against evil.

[[folder:Fogron Cannus]]
!Fogron Cannus
->'''Power:''' SuperSpeed

Jackal's cousin, Fogron was born with a rare disease. His father, a great scientist, came up with a cure...which caused Fogron's skin to be horrifically burned and scarred. To stop him from burning, his father panicked and threw an experimental solution at his son's face. Fogron swallowed some, but his entire head was covered in glowing liquid; he now has a glowing head, mouth, and throat. Fogron has been forced to clean up the mess of his cousin's evil shenanigans. Not that chasing after Jackal is hard, given Fogron's powers.

Fogron is more or less a FragileSpeedster, his relatively low health compensating for his great agility. Can be romanced by a female player character.

* {{Adorkable}}: Especially seen during his interactions with his love interest, Beth.
* BaldOfAwesome
* BlackAndNerdy
* BodyHorror: His skin has been horrifically burned, and he has a glowing head, mouth and throat; he wears a fake skin to cover it up.

* FlashStep
* FragileSpeedster
* GutturalGrowler: As a result of his vocal chords being damaged by the cure administered by his father. However, he can use his SuperSpeed to soften his voice's tone via modulated vocal chord vibration.
* HyperAwareness: Thanks to his SuperSpeed, he can move ''and'' think really fast.
* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: The scars and glowing parts have made him somewhat self-conscious.
** ScarsAreForever
* TheSmartGuy: As noted under HyperAwareness.
* SuperSpeed
* ThroatLight
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Inevitable if romanced, given his short height. Especially prominent on the forum, where he's in a romance with [[StatuesqueStunner Beth.]]

!Gill Barrows
->'''Power:''' Telepathic communication with bugs

[[FishOutOfTemporalWater Hailing from the 18th century]], Gill was just an everyday postman--one who could telepathically communicate with bugs. Eventually, his town found out about his ability, and ran him out of town, dubbing him a freak. His life was further changed forever when he discovered Tripp, the sentient time gauntlet. Following various adventures through time (gathering several bug companions along the way), Gill has eventually found his way to Power Academy in the present day [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture (or present day, rather)]].

Although he's mainly a summoner in terms of powers, he's also a GadgeteerGenius adept at crafting complex devices and equipment out of mundane objects (both in battle and out).

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He was run out of his hometown for his ability to communicate with bugs (including both insects and arachnids).
* AnArmAndALeg: His left leg below the knee is hacked off in a fight with Ezekiel, later replaced with a cybernetic peg leg.

* GenreSavvy
* GuileHero
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower
* IndyPloy: Frequently improvises during missions, including throwing together gadgets (as seen above).
* [[LukeIAmYourFather Willow, I Am Your Ancestor]]: Though he reveals it only to Adrian, knowing that informing Willow would be a bad idea.

* NiceHat: His postman's cap.
* OfficialCouple: With Claire.
* ScarfOfAsskicking

!Zippy

A scorpion familiar, often found at Gill's side. She often has a fitting snarky retort for whatever strange situation the group finds themselves in.

* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Telepathy}}

!Snare

The result of Vladimir attempting cybernetic modification on a giant spider, Snare is surprisingly upbeat. He's very friendly with the students--and at least tries to be so with the arachnophobic ones.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Defied; Snare maintains a relatively lively outlook on life despite his circumstances.
* [[DemonicSpiders Demonic Spider]]: {{In-universe}}.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: ''Giant cyborg jumping spider!''
* ThePolyanna
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Talks like one, anyway.

[[folder:Gwendyson "Wendy" Z]]
!Gwendyson "Wendy" Z
->'''Power:''' [[ArtInitiatesLife Uses a sketchbook that brings whatever she draws to life]]

The third of Swilium's clones, Wendy was created only recently as a girlfriend. She was made as an amalgamation of what Swilium viewed to be Tala and Xavier's best traits, but he viewed Wendy as a failure, and rejected her in the end anyway. After running away, she eventually found her way to Talan, and then to Power Academy. Her power comes from a magic sketchbook; [[ArtInitiatesLife anything Wendy draws comes to life.]]

In combat, she can use this as a support power, and can also mimic some enemies' abilities. Can be romanced by a [[GayOption female]] or male player character.

* ArtInitiatesLife
* ArtificialHuman: Originally intended as a girlfriend for Swilium, but she was rejected.
** KissMeImVirtual
* AttractiveBentGender: When hit with a gender-flip ray. Where she normally has a deep male voice, male!Wendy gains a high-pitched female voice.
* BiTheWay
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Has a very masculine figure, with only her chest, face and hips coming out "right" in Swilium's eyes.
* BuxomIsBetter: Swilium certainly thought so when designing her; she's tied with Beth and Alice in this regard.
** HiddenBuxom
* CoolShip: For large-scale missions, Wendy flies around in a large floating pod with a desk to draw on.
* [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl]]: To Tala's tomboy.
* GayOption: For female player characters.
* [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD: Upon meeting Xavier, she does not take it well, believing herself to be "a copy of a copy". She gets out of it though.]]
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She doesn't ''try'' to be fanservicey--she just is.

[[folder:Helena Mychro (Heroic)]]
!Helena Mychro (Heroic)
->'''Power:''' [[ExtraOreDinary Metal-bending]]

This is an alternate version of Helena who crossed over from an alternate universe. Unlike [[AxCrazy the one that the heroes]] [[OmnicidalManiac are familiar with]], this Helena has vowed to use her powers for good after experiencing great tragedy. First, the Talan and Swilium of her world ended up killing each other during a heated fight. [[spoiler:She later found love and solace in the form of Samantha, a gender-flipped Sam--but when an unstoppable demonic force attacked the city they lived in, they were cornered. Using a portal machine created by Isaac, Helena escaped her world, with Samantha sacrificing herself to hold the invaders back, and began wandering between worlds, eventually finding her way to our heroes' dimension. It is later revealed that said universe was conquered by Terminus some time after she left.]]

Helena's metal-bending powers can be used for a variety of purposes in battle, focusing on both attack and defense--but aside from her levitation ability, her speed is somewhat lacking. Can be romanced by a male [[GayOption or female]] player character.

* BiTheWay
* EarthyBarefootCharacter / DoesNotLikeShoes: She always goes barefoot, and needs to be in order to use her powers.
** FootFocus
* EvilMeScaresMe: She's horrified when she sees her evil self living in this universe.
* ExtraOreDinary: Just as powerful at metalbending as her evil self.
* FriendToAllLivingThings
* GayOption: For female player characters.
* HeartbrokenBadass: She had feelings for both the Talan and Swilium of her universe, and each loved her. However, the two ended up killing each other in a heated fight. [[spoiler:To say nothing of how things ended with Samantha.]]
* JackOfAllTrades: In terms of power variety.
** TheBeastmaster: One of her later powers involves creating a scrap metal minion to fight alongside the party.
* LastGirlWins: If romanced. She only first appears at the very start of the second chapter, when everyone else in the party has already been introduced.
* LovingAShadow: During her romance arc, [[spoiler:it turns out she can't get over Samantha's death. This is even more apparent if Sam's the one she's romancing.]]
* MiniDressOfPower: Often seen in a simple sundress.
* MysticalWhiteHair
* PoweredArmor: Can create an improvised suit of armor out of metal scraps, increasing her melee damage and defense until it is broken through.
* SurvivorGuilt: Experiences this after the incident with the Talan and Swilium of her universe. [[spoiler:Terminus invading her home universe and Samantha sacrificing herself to buy Helena some time to escape probably doesn't help matters.]]
* ThouShaltNotKill: Takes this vow in memory of her universe's Swilium.
* TriangRelations: See HeartbrokenBadass. [[ForegoneConclusion It didn't end well.]]

[[folder:Isaac Ashen]]
!Isaac Ashen
->'''Power:''' None; [[GadgeteerGenius relies on invented gadgets and weapons]]

Val's younger brother is a prodigy with a knack for invention, taking after their father Slade. Isaac is fairly selfish for a hero, caring mainly about using his inventions for profit and fun rather than about saving the world. He's constantly looking for ways to show off his intellect, and is currently working on a suit of PoweredArmor.

In combat, he relies on a variety of invented weapons and gadgets. Can be romanced by a female [[GayOption or male]] player character.

* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg: About midway through the game, he loses his right forearm in a fight with evil!Helena. This causes a HeroicBSOD for him, since he realizes that no amount of scientific knowledge or technological expertise can make him invulnerable--but he can still use it to protect his friends.]]
* AntiHero: Starts out as a selfish {{Jerkass}}, but [[CharacterDevelopment matures]] into a KnightInSourArmor.
* [[spoiler:ArtificialLimbs: After evil!Helena forcibly amputates his arm in a fight, he creates a special SwissArmyAppendage to help him in combat.]]
* AttractiveBentGender: After using a gender-flip ray on him, Tala notes that he's really cute as a girl. female!Isaac even lampshades this, playing up the {{Tsundere}} trait.
* BadassBookworm
* BadassNormal / TeamNormal: He relies solely on his intellect and his inventions.
* BiTheWay: Exemplified when he tells [[{{Bifauxnen}} Wendy]] that, regardless if she looked and sounded like a guy or girl, he would love her anyway.
* BrainyBrunette
* TheChewToy: His younger self, though he grows out of it.
* GadgeteerGenius
* GayOption: For male player characters.
* GlassCannon
* HandsomeLech
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: The reason why he considers Talan a rival. Isaac has spent much of his life learning about mechanics and technology, becoming an accomplished GadgeteerGenius...and then [[{{Technopath}} Talan]], who can near-instantly repair a machine, suddenly appears in his life, as if to upstage him.
* [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Innocent Fanservice Boy]]: While working on inventions in his room, to avoid staining his clothes or generating potentially-damaging static electricity. [[HandsomeLech At least, that's his excuse.]]
* InsufferableGenius
* JetPack
* MacrossMissileMassacre: One of the most powerful attacks built into his PoweredArmor.
* MrFanservice
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Using one of Timmy's devices, he ages himself up from 13 to 16 to impress Tala. (And to bring himself to the age of consent, of course). Arguably deconstructed, as it has adverse effects on his metabolism, and he begins to worry how it will affect his aging process. The game retcons this so he was always 17.
* PoweredArmor

* SexySpectacles: To him, any attractive person with glasses is instantly sexier. Also applies to him, as Tala says his glasses make him cuter.
* ScienceHero
* ShirtlessScene: Lots of them. He also tends to do mechanical work shirtless to avoid stains.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Tala. His relationship with Wendy is far less adversarial, though.
* SpyCatsuit: Isaac wears a tight-fitting bodysuit underneath his PowerArmor; numerous electronic tactile-feedback receptors are built into it for greater ease of interfacing with his armor. It doesn't stop any potential love interests from commenting on it.
* StoicSpectacles: Without which [[BlindWithoutEm he's quite nearsighted.]]
* [[spoiler:SwissArmyAppendage: Post-amputation. Doubles as an ArmCannon.]]
* {{Tsundere}}

[[folder:Jana "Hydro" Hartmann]]
!Jana "Hydro" Hartmann [[spoiler:(aka Subject 002)]]
->'''Power:''' [[MakingASplash Water]]

Blaze/Emily's twin sister (hair and powers aside), Hydro is a graceful but timid young woman; threaten her or her friends, however, and she will unleash her water powers. Orphaned at a young age, she and Blaze have spent their lives wandering from town to town, trying to get by; they eventually found their way to Power Academy. Notably, she bears a strong resemblance to Lightning, and claims that the three of them are actually triplets.

[[spoiler:She's not that far off. In reality, their minds were just altered to make them think they had a family; they are actually clones of the deceased Layla Ulrich, made by Vladimir as super-soldiers. Thanks to Eve Ulrich, the two, along with Lightning, escaped his control before they could be used for evil purposes. Her memories were altered so she couldn't remember anything about her past, believing she and Blaze lived a happy life beforehand.]]

Although she has her fair share of powerful water-based attacks (including being able to form a water trident in her hand), Hydro is essentially a support party member, focusing mainly on healing and removing status effects. Can be romanced by a [[GayOption female]] player character.

* [[AffablyEvil Affably Neutral]]

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Though she has a bit of a crush on Talan, she doesn't want to interfere with his and Lightning's bond.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Despite being mainly attracted to women, she has a pretty blatant crush on Talan.
* LipstickLesbian
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: A mutual case with Blaze/Emily.

* MakingASplash
* PerkyFemaleMinion: She and Blaze essentially become Kuri's teammates/henchwomen for a time when they team up against Lightning.

* PunchClockVillain: Most of the time she just goes along with whatever Blaze wants to do.
* TheRedBaron: Kuri's nickname for her? "The Sexy Mermaid."
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Blaze's Red.

!Layla "Lightning" Ulrich [[spoiler:(aka Subject 003)]]
->'''Power:''' [[ShockAndAwe Electrokinesis]]

A cute and cheerful girl with electric powers, Layla showed up in Val's life seemingly out of nowhere to help her fight evil. Her motives seem to consist of having fun first, saving the world second--though not necessarily spaced apart. Though she was orphaned at a young age, "Lightning" is always there with a smile, ready to offer moral support or zap an enemy or two.

What she doesn't know, however, is that [[spoiler:her life as she knows it is a lie. The real Layla is dead, having been killed in a plane crash years before. Her distraught mother, a scientist working for the Dark Star, sought to bring her back in some way, creating three clones. "Lightning" is the youngest of the three, considered the closest to the real Layla. When her father, Vladimir, tried to repurpose her, Blaze and Hydro as super soldiers, their mother helped them escape; the group decided that "Lightning" would be the one to live a normal life, and her memories were thus altered.]]

Though she lacks in HP and defense, Layla is very skilled with her electrokinesis, and can lend her technological knowledge to any problems that require it. [[CuddleBug She also enjoys giving and receiving hugs,]] [[DysfunctionJunction conveniently enough.]] Can be romanced by a male player character.

* ACupAngst
* AmbiguousDisorder: Though ADD and OCD seem to be the most likely ones.
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman]]
* [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit...]] [[RunningGag Ooh, a Butterfly!]]

* BadassInDistress: During Talan's personal quest, the evil Helena kidnaps Layla as a hostage at one point.

* GeniusDitz: Though Layla is often flighty and naive, she's far from stupid. She's good with technology, for instance--as long as she's well-grounded. [[spoiler:She also has advanced scientific knowledge imprinted into her mind, and even becomes the school's psychiatrist in one timeline.]]
* '''GenkiGirl:''' Talan even jokes that she radiates energy.
* GirlishPigtails

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
* [[spoiler:[[IAmWho I Am an Artificial Human?]]]]
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For [[BrokenAce Talan]].
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Talan perceives her as one, but subverted in that she has interests and a life beyond Talan. It turns out she's far from perfect.
* MixedAncestry: Had an Austrian mother and Russian-American father. [[spoiler:Or still has, in the latter case.]]
* OfficialCouple: A conditional one in the game. If neither she nor Talan are romanced by anyone else by a certain point, the two will always end up together.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The characters often refer to her only by her nickname.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted; she has red eyes but is a hero and a total sweetheart.
* [[spoiler:ReplacementGoldfish: Her creator/"mother" considered her the closest to the original Layla, according to Hydro.]]
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: In a romantic friendship with Val.
* SecondLove: For Talan.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Downplayed; she generally looks cute/pretty without having to dress all fancy. But when she makes the effort for formal events, she looks elegantly phenomenal. [[StupidSexyFlanders Drake even spends a few moments gawking at her]]--in front of Sam, no less.

Lei-Lani was taken from her home in Hawaii at a young age after her parents mysteriously died, brought to the mainland by Normco. Her original ability was [[MakeMeWannaShout an ultrasonic voice]], but an accident in one of the testing labs shattered some containers. She was drenched in experimental chemicals from the containers which altered her abilities; she gained the ability to negate powers, but lost her voice (she can still talk, but barely).

Lei-Lani takes it upon herself to end fights with her power, being a walking deadzone for superpowers. Can be romanced by a male player character.

* ActualPacifist

She is assisted reluctantly by her brother Quasar.

Prexcilia has a very unusual fighting style; she relies upon a d20, rolled for a random effect. The amount of damage she does is based on what she rolls.

* AffablyEvil
* AntiVillain: She's not really ''evil'' per se; she just wants revenge.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: The last time she and Quasar visited Earth was in the 1920s. It shows. HilarityEnsues!
* {{Asexual}}: Given her relationship with Helena in the forum, Prexy would appear to be StraightGay at first glance. It's more likely, [[HumanoidAbomination given how alien her origins are,]] that she's asexual; she's not attracted to men or women ''specifically,'' but is still capable of falling in love.
* BlindSeer
* ConfusionFu
* DefeatMeansFriendship / PromotedToPlayable: Can join the party after being defeated.
