----

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Much like Waldstein, Roger, and Enkidu, Ogre has a slightly darker complexion compared to the other characters.
* CastingAShadow: According to Yuzuriha, his Gate of Hades ability causes him to be enveloped in a black aura.
* ChivalrousPervert: He jokes about how he wanted to create a group of In-Births solely to enjoy the company of beautiful women, to Yuzuriha's annoyance. While his fashion sense for himself and his two friends might suggest that he's a pervert, he has proven himself to be quite the gentleman when he pleaded for Amnesia not to harm either Strix or Zohar and for them to actually leave them alone if he didn't make it past a voided-out Roger.
* EatenAlive: How he meets his end at the hands of Roger.
* {{Foil}}: To Gordeau. Both are incredibly powerful In-Births with a demonic/death motif and both have an eye hidden away (Gordeau via a fringe, Ogre via a scar, leaving him semi-blind). While Gordeau often tends to work on his own and cannot bring himself to kill those who have turned into Voids, Ogre firmly believes in sticking together to survive and doesn't hesitate to kill friends of his or others.
* HeroicSacrifice: When Roger turned into a void and Gordeau was unable to bring himself to kill his friend, Enkidu stepped up to deal the mercy kill. Ogre however declared that he would be the one to do so, as he explained that he didn't know Roger when he was a person and thus would have the least guilt if he were to kill him.

* LightEmUp: While his power's attributes and capabilities are not explained, his clash with Hilda made quite the light-show.
* NiceGuy: Ogre proved himself to be a considerate man who cares for his friends and enough about his enemies as well to carry the burden of killing a friend.
* RedBaron: Was briefly known as the Howling Demon King (or lit. Ogre Wailing King).
* RedOniBlueOni: He acts as the red to Gordeau's blue.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a loose white scarf around his shoulders.
* ScarsAreForever: Has a large scar across his right eye.

----

* AnimalMotif: Rabbits, in a rather morbid aversion of what they usually represent. In symbolism, Rabbits represent fertility and the beginning of new life. Compare that with Uzuki, whose powers are connected to death and the afterlife.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Uzuki has been noted to be ''very'' powerful, and her abilities quickly earned her a spot as one of Amnesia's top brass.
* CuteButCacophonic: Her voice is ''horribly'' grating.
* {{Expy}}: Takes a lot after [[Anime/SoulEater Blair]] and [[Manga/OnePiece Perona]].
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Has been described as being "cruel" and "immoral" by the devs, as well as having an ''extremely'' bloated ego. She also wears red, thick-rimmed glasses, in case it wasn't already obvious enough that she's one of Amnesia's worst.
* FourIsDeath: Uzuki gets her name from the Japanese name of April. In Japan, the number four is usually considered unlucky, with April even being referred to as the "month of death".
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The top brass in Amnesia usually steer clear of her, due to how much of an unrepentant, egotistical {{Jerkass}} she is.
* HatedByAll: Nearly everyone in Amnesia wants absolutely nothing to do with her simply because of how [[{{Jerkass}} nasty]] she is. Yes, this includes [[ItsAllAboutMe Hilda]] and [[InsufferableGenius Chaos]].
* HiddenDepths: If the 2020 Valentine's Day illustration is of any indication, then the small, snarky Uzuki might be something of a baker.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She definitely holds herself in high regard, referring to herself as "Uzuki-sama".
* {{Jerkass}}: According to WordOfGod, Uzuki is one of the worst in Amnesia. She's not a villain like Hilda is, she's just a ''really'' shitty person.
* LittleMissSnarker: In the few lines of dialogue she has, she manages to insult Hilda's intelligence[[note]]Or lack thereof.[[/note]] at least fourtimes.
* LivingClothes: The comically over-sized hat that she wears appears to be alive.
* {{Necromancy}}: While Uzuki's powers haven't been fully explained, she has a very obvious ghost motif. Her 2020 Valentine's Day illustration has her surrounded by cutesy-looking ghosts, skeletons, and an undead looking rabbit doll thing called Usa-Bone.
* RedBaron: She goes by the nickname of "Black Monger".

** A nigh-immortal being with untold and potentially limitless amounts of power who wears a large robe to conceal most of his youthful body, shares a personal connection to one of the main protagonists of the series, and ''also'' acts as TheChessmaster and serves as the BigBad of a fighting game series. He's basically the light novel equivalent of [[Characters/GuiltyGearAsukaRKreutz Asuka R. Kreutz]]. The sequel makes this much more apparent as he has allowed himself to age forward just like Asuka has in ''-STRIVE-''. The whole body double thing also somehow lined up this coincidence as well. His DeathSeeker motivations and desire for atonement from his past mistakes also eerily parallel Asuka's storyline in ''-STRIVE-'', where he's [[PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou OK]] with Sol killing him if it would make him happy and redeem Asuka in the end.

Kuon was granted an abnormal amount of EXS from the Hollow God, which manifests as the EXS of the Abyss: '''Aeon'''. He formerly dual wielded a traditional set of katanas in combat although it is not known what sort of abilities he can utilize now aside from his immortality. He was the original wielder of the Insulator, which he used to cut off the overflow of EXS that was turning Waldstein into a Void. His status as the Insulator's original wielder is reflected in his current weapons: A set of Insulator replicas collectively known as '''Insulator: Imitate'''.

Imitate'''.\\\
\\
Kuon is an [[DifficultButAwesome incredibly tricky]] character who can easily catch an opponent of guard from pretty much anywhere on the screen thanks to his powerful zoning tools and unique movement options, making him a true master of playing at mid-screen.\\\
\\
A good majority of Kuon's unique movement comes from his Force Function, '''Heavenly Law''', a stance which, upon activation, gives Kuon access to around four seconds of flight, allowing him to move to pretty much anywhere on the screen. While flying, Kuon can cancel the flight stance into a significantly buffed version of his regular specials and air normals, allowing him to deal devastating amounts of damage if the cards are in his favor.\\\
\\
Kuon's Infinite Worth, '''The Silent Orchard of the Abyss''', acts as a fullscreen strike which, if it hits, has Kuon bind the opponent in place before assaulting them with powerful bursts of EXS, resulting in a large explosion that launches them.

* [[Foil}}: Kuon is what happens when the AllLovingHero makes a major, selfless sacrifice in an attempt to quell a dire situation without thinking of the ramifications or consequences of their actions, both to themselves and especially their loved ones. In other words, he's what Hyde would be if he didn't have a more grounded, realistic sense of self-preservation. He's also one to Seth, as while like Seth he's lost his original idealism and become very cynical and jaded towards the reality of his situation and wants to atone for the mistakes of his clan, Kuon doesn't care who he has to use or what methods he has to employ in order to achieve his goals, including his own sister Linne whose wishes both Hyde and Seth want to fulfill in their own way. Even his theme music serves as a contrast to both of theirs, featuring the same instruments (synthesized drums from Hyde, heavy guitar riffs from Seth) but setting them to a DarkReprise of the very first song that Raito ever composed for the series in its debut trailer.

In other words, he's what Hyde would be if he didn't have a more grounded, realistic sense of self-preservation. He's also one to Seth, as while like Seth he's lost his original idealism and become very cynical and jaded towards the reality of his situation and wants to atone for the mistakes of his clan, Kuon doesn't care who he has to use or what methods he has to employ in order to achieve his goals, including his own sister Linne whose wishes both Hyde and Seth want to fulfill in their own way.

-> The second-in-command of the Exist Force Guardians, AKA the EFG, a vigilante group made by and for students that became In-Births to help acclimate to their new abilities. Tsurugi scouted out Phonon after hearing rumors of an incident involving her and her subsequent absence in school, leading him to deduce that she awakened her abilities as an In-Birth. Tsurugi is a second-year high school student who attends the same school as Hyde and is noted as being good friends with him. He is a positive and cheery young man, if a bit reckless and headstrong, being described by Phonon as looking like a typical sports jock. His tendency to rush straight into action has left him under the watchful eye of Komatsu, the student council's secretary and fellow In-Birth who he often butts heads with.\\\

His Force Function, '''Skid-Scare Loader''', also plays into the durability of Bulwark as Tsurugi enters a defensive stance that will guardpoint any attack that is not a low. From there Tsurugi can follow-up with '''Breaker'''; an advancing shield-bash, '''Cromlech Setter'''; a leaping skateboard trick, '''Land Grader'''; a shield-surfing slide, a dash forward that ends with his shield back up, or a backdash that cancels that stance.\\\

* AffectionateNickname: Apparently Tsurugi calls Hyde "Kido-cchi" and it's not out the world for him to have been the one to start calling Komatsu as "Koma-chan".

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Going with the theme of ''UNI'' taking several cues from ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood''/''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', Tsurugi is very clearly based on Arihiko Inui, being the HotBlooded, orange haired best friend of the main protagonist. Where they differ, however, is while Arihiko is Shiki's MuggleBestFriend, Tsurugi is already an experienced In-Birth who has been partaking in the Hollow Night for way longer than Hyde has.

Tsurugi is also not characterized as a womanizer or a delinquent.



* BenevolentBoss: Tsurugi isn't the proper leader of the EFG, he mainly does most of the work involving new recruits and acts friendly towards all of them. He's done enough recruiting to have an informal protocol for bringing students from outside the school to the Student Council Room. While the real leader is the yet unseen Student Council President of the school, the Student Council Room is utilized as the EFG's Headquarters.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His in particular is enormous, dwarfing him in both width and height. Unlike his predecessors [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Riesbyfe and Mash]], Tsurugi actually uses his shield to block incoming attacks with a number of his charged heavy buttons as well as his Force Function.

* MovesetClone: Subverted. Presumably having gone through the same type of training, Kaguya shares a lot of similarities with Orie between using a lot of kicks for their normals + throw animation, aerial leaps, and backdash that have them performing a backflip.
