** Duo treats R-19, who is stated multiple times to be expendable, like he matters and respects the replicant's choices. Curren, on the other hand, treats Breke like a tool and demands that he continue doing a job he clearly hates, without a care of the wolven cyborg's feelings.

* LackOfEmpathy: She rather callously responded to Breke's identity crisis in the finale of chapter 10 by revealing that she was made in a lab too, finding it difficult understand why he would be so heart-broken over his apparent lack of humanity and would rather he just be cooperative and hand her his gathered data. Justified, Chapter 11 revealed that creator of the Geniuses wanted them to be as objective and focus on their goals as possible; thus their ability to empathize was destroyed during their gestation process.

* SquishyWizard: She has the physical strength you would expect of someone her size, the issue is getting past her robot army if you want to land a hit on her.

* SuperIntelligence: She was made to have the intelligence and computational power on par with a super computer, as was all of her other ''siblings''.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: A heart as devoid of moral constraint as hair devoid of colors, with a not-so-positive attitude about free will and cooperation to boot. This is also one of the features shared between all the Genius clones.
* YouAreNumber6: Crossed with MeaningfulName, the first letter of her name also indicates the order of her creation. Specifically, Curren is third one created.

->'''Voiced By''':
God's right hand and the de facto leader of the Eastern Rule Maker Representative guild. An archangel of supreme power, he seeks to make to the protagonist into a System for the benefit of Eden.

* VillainTeamUp: Seems to be in a mutual alliance with Amaterasu if their interactions so far is any indication.

[[caption-width-right:350:]]
->'''Voiced by''':
The [[UsefulNotes/{{Shinto}} Shinto]] goddess of the sun and the universe, ruler of Takamagahara, the heavenly realm of the gods of Japanese myth and the elder sister of Tsukuyomi and Susanoo.

* CondescendingCompassion: Implied. She seems view the people of as unfortunate sheep that needs to be sheltered and guided by her will.

* NonUniformUniform: Her school uniform is pretty standard fair, save for her sleeves which are more in line with a miko's robe.

* ThePowerOfTheSun: She is a solar deity and can smite her enemies with sun's wrath.

* TheShutIn: True to her legend, the trauma that Susanoo had inflicted on her has left a bit of shut-in. While she is willing to go outside to perform her duties, she will quickly retreat back to her quarters once she is done.

----

* {{Foil}}: Barring their personalities, both Oz and Zo were kings who ruled in Olympus, both felt LonelyAtTheTop, and as their 4-Star revels, both had the exact same Role and, if the statement is taken at face value, both possibly faced the same fate of the Nemean Lion of Myth. It's implied that for this reason that they were put into one body when they were summoned.

* PeekABangs: Oz's bang obscures the left side of his face.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Administrative Officer Of Justice'']]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Demonic Public Prosecution Student'']]

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Being the demon he is, Bael's benefits will come with a steep cost. This is demonstrated in game with his "Seeker of/Devotion to Burnt Offerings" skills, which have a high chance of buffing his allies, while also draining their health if it succeeds. His 3 stars' "Seeker" version only grants an atk buff and drains 600 points of health, while his 5 stars' "Devotion" version grants both an atk and def buff and drains 1000 points of health.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Weaponized. Bael's first two skills, "Exposer" and "Impertinence", not only cripple enemies when they have status buffs, but also deal extra damage to them per buff!

* TooCleverByHalf: Make no mistake, Bael is a very patient and devious mastermind. Unfortunately, his sheer arrogance overshadows his intellect resulting in the demon overestimating himself and how much control he actually has over the situation. [[spoiler:Case in point, his meticulous SadisticChoice endings in the Canaan recreation failed to account for the protagonist's frequent TakeAThirdOption and their ability to invoke this in their friends.]]

* WhipItGood: He wields a stylized riding crop, which both illustrates his true authoritarian nature and his sadism.

* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler:His invisibility and ice powers mean little to nothing against Jacob who not only has TrueSight, but also Uriel's fiery blade as his sacred artifact. Thankfully for Korp, Jacob was only there to speak with him instead of looking for a fight.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's ranked 1st in the Goetia and while he's not the highest rank among all demons, he holds a great deal of both personal and political powers.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: [[RapunzelHair Long]] dark hair to compliment skin the color of egg-shells.

* IcyBlueEyes: [[IncrediblyLamePun What]] else did you expect of a character who could conjure deadly blizzards on a whim? Overlaps with [[OccultBlueEyes Occult blue eyes]].

* IrrationalHatred: He was exposed one day by a child who grew too curious and pushed away the leaf he was hiding under. He grew to resent this person. He also has a cold hate for those who [[CharacterDevelopment change]], intentionally or otherwise, as he intentionally triggers a collision with Kamuy Kotan during the "Onsen Jamboree" event, merely to get revenge on Kimun Kamui who had begun to question his Role in Kamuy Kotan's System.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His cute child-like appearance and quirks belie a far colder and savage personality that espouses the creation of a world where “happy and innocent children” can live in peace, while at the same time voicing his joy that Michael’s gaze possesses a “cold and merciless” quality to it, a trait he would like in all kids.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Horus is rather fond of lettuce and his bio states he loves to share the leafy green with his loved ones. Unfortunately, for the those versed in Egyptian mythology, Horus has a rather [[IAteWhat mature association]] with lettuce...

This Transient comprises two Lion Therians in one body: the hesitant and cowardly Oz, and his polar opposite, the brash and intimidating Zo. Only the most robust of vessels could accommodate two such fully developed personalities, and so, on a conceptual level, their shared body is impervious to harm from any weapon. In their home world, the pair lived lives of solitary kingship, with one ruling a forest and the other a deep gorge, but they lamented their fates, and so the light of the Transient brought them to Tokyo. The cowardly Oz dreams of one day becoming an astronaut, and indeed their Role dictates that one day they will leave the earth behind to shine amongst the stars, but the two disagree to this day about what exactly will lead them there.

Based on the Cowardly Lion from [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz The Wizard of Oz]] and The Nemean Lion from [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myth]]. They are currently under the employ of Amaterasu.

This Transient is the World Representative of Kamui Kotan, a frozen world preserved forever in ice. Ordinarily, he would only be visible to children short enough to peek beneath the Leaf he bears, but in Tokyo, he is visible even to full-grown adults. Whenever Korpokkur discovers a community of children, he plants leaves like his own in the ground to propagate, and with the coming of spring, the land blossoms into a sanctuary ideal for them to dwell in. However, as the seasons turn, those children outgrow the leaves that sustain their lives and become blind to Korpokkur hiding beneath them. Eventually, their guardian departs, the rivers run dry, the fauna despoils, and the land becomes harsh and barren once more. Even so, Korpokkur loves the young and innocent from the bottom of his heart, and it is his wish to create a paradise for these children that brings him to Tokyo. A past incident has led him to despise those who rifle through the foliage to disturb what hides within.

A Transient from the world of Aaru who stands at its top, has run away, and covers his left eye. After being summoned to Tokyo, he is a judiciary elite who strives in his duties as a policeman while also being a student. Personality-wise he is extremely serious, and he honors justice and fairness. He follows household rules and does as he is told, and oftentimes it seems he has a lot going on in his head. At the same time, he also hates being referred to as young master and being valued for all the things he had for being born. Horus was born a sickly child, but he is a hard worker who tempered his mind and body through putting great effort in discipline. He was once caught up in a power struggle that came from interfamily strife with the uncle he once respected. His being made to win at the hands of the adults around him is a bitter memory to him. Horus has a tendency to get irritated when shown to be a superior through his efforts and better than his uncle. Also, he has something like disgust for the person who goes around using his uncle's name.

Demon noble Transient from Gehenna who has an ever present and unshakable calm smile. He is part of a law school in Tokyo, and he is already working in the judiciary branch as a student prosecutor. Bael believes those of noble class hold duties fit for that level and has a unique belief in being a demon. Perhaps because of this he's often seen making vile uttering even when unnecessary for whatever is going on. Those who realize this is limited to a certain person of equal lineage who has associated with him since infancy and scant few others. He once held the highest rank on the hierarchy of demons listed under the Hexagram Contract. This does not apply to all demons from Gehenna as demon nobles of even higher rank than he exist. Bael brags about being the one who hates the faith of Eden the most, but paradoxically the fact that it also supports his mightiness can only be described as irony.

* AbusiveParent: Two-fold. Going by Shuichi's comments, the researchers who made them were not particularly kind people. Then there's her relationship to Breke, her creation. She coldly dismisses his emotional anguish and treats him like a mobile computer terminal for data collection, but still has the gall to call herself his ''mother'' and demand his undying respect. When he rejects her demands and flees, she acts like an entitled pet owner.

* EvilTwin: To Duo. For bonus points, Duo's summoner's mark is brighter in color than Curren's.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Duo. While both of them came from the same inhumane experiment that made them emotionally-stunted super-geniuses, their personal actions to others illustrate how Curren is fundamentally evil compare to Duo's inherent goodness.

---> '''Curren''': Breke ran away from me. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

** Duo treats R-19, who is stated multiple times to be expendable, like he mattered and respect the replicant's choices. Curren on the other hand, treats Breke like a tool and demands that he continue doing a job he clearly hates, without a care of the wolven cyborg's feelings.

* LackOfEmpathy: She rather callously responded to Breke's identity crisis in the finale of chapter 10 by revealing that she was made in a lab too; finding it difficult understand why he would be so heart-broken over his apparent lack of humanity and would rather he just be cooperative and hand her his gathered data. Justified, Chapter 11 revealed that creator of the Geniuses wanted them to be as objective and focus on their goals as possible; thus their ability to empathize was destroyed during their gestation process.

* YouAreNumber6: Cross with MeaningfulName, the first letter of her name also indicates the order of her creation; specifically, Curren is third one created.

* LightIsNotGood: Despite being God's Right Hand and an archangel, when Michael first appeared he gleefully expressed his desire to sacrifice the protagonist for his cause and mercilessly impaled the weaken Babalon and Surtr.

* SinisterMinister: His entire outfit is reminiscent of a church pastor, complete with a stole resting on his shoulders. Of course the sinister part comes in when you hear how he describes the protagonist like a science experiment instead of as a living person.

* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Wears a pristine suit in all his appearances so far and is incrediably ruthless.

* WingedHumanoid: The narrative say he sprouts his wings during his introduction at the end of chapter 8, but we have yet to see them in his official art.

* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]]: Narration implies Ammy does not have the most generous opinions regarding her younger brothers, especially Susanoo. Yet it can't be said she has no love them, as she grew distress once she lost Tsukuyomi's signal when he was swallowed up by Daikoku's darkness.

* CondescendingCompassion: Implied. She seems view the people of as unfortunate sheeps that needs to be sheltered and guided by her will.

* {{Fainting}}: She does this at the very memory of her brother Susanoo! And since he's one of the Protagonist's souls, this means that we are also a source of [[TraumaButton frustration]] for her.

* LightIsNotGood: The Shinto Goddess of the Sun and the Universe and one of the game's most powerful antagonist.

* TheOmniscient: The Virtual Summer Event revealed that this was how she kept the denizens of Takamagahara in line as its Representive/Ruler. The World granted Amaterasu the ability to know every event and going-on in Takamagahara, which means that she [[BigBrotherIsWatching knew everyone's secrets]] and no one was willing to overstep their bounds or go against her, lest their shame be revealed to the whole world. No one, except for [[TheHedonist Susanoo]] of course.

* VillainTeamUp: She and Michael seems to be in cahoots with one another. Chapter 11 implies they have a close working relationship and are observing the other Representatives.

* AcademicAthlete: They are by no means Amaterasu's DumbMuscle. Oz dreams of becoming an astronaut and Chapter 9 implies he regularly visits Kurogane and collaborate on building working model rockets with him.
* TheBigGuy: Physically strong as his muscular build would imply which helps compensate for his mistress' physical frailty.

* {{Foil}}: As noted above, barring their personalities, both Oz and Zo were kings who ruled in Olympus, both felt LonelyAtTheTop, and as their 4-Star revels, both had the exact same Role and, if the statement is taken at face value, both possibly faced the same fate of the Nemean Lion of Myth. It's heavily implied that for this reason that they were put into one body when they were summoned.

* InvisibleToAdults: One of his powers. Unfortunately, as his invisibility is only limited to adults, leading to a child finding him one day.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: His cute child-like appearance and quirks belies a far colder and savage personality that espouses the creation of a world where “happy and innocent children” can live in peace, while at the same time voicing his joy that Michael’s gaze possesses a “cold and merciless” quality to it, a trait he would like in all kids.

* AntiVillain: Despite being on the opponent's side, he loves and respects his uncle Seth, the Exile from his world. He goal is to free Seth from the Protagonist, and face them in combat to ascend to adulthood.
* BackFromTheDead: His ankh staff allows him to revive the dead, as the ankh symbolizes life, restoration, and resurrection in Egyptian mytholoy. When used together with his second artifact and Pillar, the Pillar of Djed, the coffin that originally held his father's severed corpse, it allows Horus to revive an army of loyal mummy soldiers.

* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Being a major god, Horus' wear a lot of golden accessories to compliment his dark blue and white feathers.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Horus is rather fond of lettuce and his bio states he love share the leafy green with his love ones. Unfortunately, for the those verse in Egyptian mythology, Horus has rather [[IAteWhat mature association]] when it comes to lettuce...
* UnusualEars: Despite being an otherwise falcon-esque transient, Horus a pair of feline ears atop his head.

* TheBadGuyWins: Heavily downplayed. Although his scheme to cheat the Reps using the Canaan Recreation failed, Bael still managed to obtain a portion of his original self's power and status. How this will ultimately benefit him is still unknown.

* CheatersNeverProsper: Attempted to cheat all of the legitimate Representatives in Tokyo by trapping the Player in a recreation of Canaan and then becoming a Representative himself by fusing with his original divine alter-ego in order to claim the Player and then returing back to Tokyo victorious without fear of interference from the other Reps. Unfortunately for Bael, the actors he had ''chosen'' for his recreation and the Player decided to overthrow him the moment he revealed the truth to them.

* DealWithTheDevil: The first Goetian demon to make an on-screen deal. The events of Canaan plays this trope straight, showing just why Faustian Contracts are a terrible idea, especially contracts struck with a conniving monster like Bael.

* FusionDance: His real goal when he offered to help Dagon uncovered the truth of Canaan's fate. Bael would merge with Baal, his original self and a Canaanite wind deity, in the Canaan event and play his role. That way, Bael would attain the status and power of World Representative by proxy when Baal is awarded the status. The bio entry for his 5-star version implies he has partially succeed despite the utter failure of his Canaan scheme.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Being the demon he is, Bael's benefits will come with a steep cost. This is demonstrated in game with his "Seeker/Devotion to Burnt Offerings" skills, which has a high chance of buffing his allies, while also draining their health if it succeeds. His 3 stars' "Seeker" version only grants an atk buff and drain 600 points of health, while his 5 stars' "Devotion" version grants both an atk and def buff and drain 1000 points of health.

** His obsession with being a Representative and refusal to use to his Goetian powers allowed Astaroth to stall him long enough for the heroes to arrive and defeat him despite his Goetian rank normally being higher than hers.

* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: The reflections in his wings on his 5-star unit art shows him for what he really is behind his thin veneer of sophistication. An envious, vicious, and sadistic monster who care for no one but himself.
* NeatFreak: He hates getting dirty and gets along well with people who likes to keep clean, like Algernon. His pristine and pressed suit as much for his vanity as it's for his sanity.

* UpperClassTwit: He halts from an aristocratic background back in Gehenna and is apparently still very much a member of society's upper echelon here in Tokyo and he will obnoxiously remind you of his higher status if given the chance.
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Bael's student uniform is a well-kept naval uniform with a hankerchief folded and tucked in its left breast pocket, another symbol of his decadent wealth.

* PleaseDon'tLeaveMe: [[spoiler:During the epilogue of the '''Nightglows''' event, Duo revealed that he had observed Michael's demise and witnessed a moment of weakness wherein the archangel begged for his big brother, Shaytan/Lucifer, to not leave him to die all alone. Michael was understandably shocked when he learns this, forcing him to begrudgingly accept Duo's terms.]]

* AdaptionalVillainy: In the real life Ainu mythos, korpokkurs were a type of NatureSpirit and fey people who were skilled hunters and craftsmen that traded with the Ainu people until one day one of the Ainu broke their sacred pact out of curiosity causing the korporkkur people to vanish forever. In the game, Korpokkur is a single godly individual who kept his world in a MedievalStasis and wields his icy powers with no remorse against those who offend him.
