%%Good Evening editors. Before you consider adding a character, please consult the cleanup thread here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15391212720A38366900&page=1
%%I have a special rule for you all: if you see a character on the CM list, they do not belong here.

%%!!Unidentified
%%* Issei Hyoudou. A perverted kid and a HaremSeeker, he generally becomes happy when he gains a pretty girlfriend, Yuma Amano, and pulls out all the stops for their date. How does she repay him? By spearing him in the chest. Turns out the girlfriend was a FallenAngel named Raynare who was just getting close enough to kill him for his Scared Gear on Azazel's orders. After his EmergencyTransformation into a Devil, he ends up fighting his now ex-girlfriend who mocks him from being a quote "boring boyfriend". This hits him hard for several chapters, believing himself to be low class girlfriend material despite the UnwantedHarem that ironically grows around him.
%%* Rias Gremory. She was forced into a marriage that she wanted no business with and was forced to surrender after her now ex-husband to be threatened to kill Issei. Even after her marriage managed to be nullified, she often views herself as a failure of a King.
%%* Asia Argento. A former nun who was abandoned by her parents when she was a baby who became a nun after awakening her Sacred Gear to heal a puppy, who since after that had been named as holy maiden and all interaction she had with people being minimal beyond healing other and was banished from TheChurch for the crime of healing a Devil. She is taken in by the same Fallen Angel Issei went out with who planed to use Asia for her own personal gain. This plot resulted in Asia's death and no sooner than that she was revived as a Devil and her meeting with members of the Church she is offered to be [[MercyKill mercy killed]] as a way to expiate for her sins. And despite all she was through, she remains faithful to God. And the worst part? The Devil she healed planed for all of that to happen to her!
%%* Akeno Himejima. Before becoming a Devil, she was a human/Fallen Angel hybrid, born from the result of Shuri Himejima, a priestess and Baraqiel, a Fallen Angel. When Baraqiel's enemies learned about her existence due to the Himejima hating her due to her heritage, they tried to kill her, but Shuri pulled a YouShallNotPass instead. Akeno disowned her father and went into exile, being hunted down for assassins of her own family, before she met Rias.
%%* Yuto Kiba. He was to be a Super Soldier alongside several other children in order to create artificial Holy Sword users. But they all turned out to be defective and were scheduled to be disposed of. The children Yuto was friends with sacrificed themselves to help him escape so that there was a chance for the experiments to never happen again. Hadn't Rias not approached him at the time, he would have died as well.
%%* Koneko Tōjō. Her older sister committed an offensive crime after becoming DrunkWithPower. She was thought to soon share the same fate and was nearly killed if not for the interference of the Gremorys. She fears that if she uses the same powers as her sister, she would become just like her.
%%* Gasper Vladi. He's a {{Dhampyr}}, so he is often mocked at and ridiculed by other vampires. His backstory even states that he was murdered by Vampire Hunters before Rias found him. He also has very low self-esteem. Poor kid.

Seems like the Occult Research Club is a bit of a Woobie magnet: pretty much all of the original members have plenty of heart-wrenching baggage to deal with.

* Vali Lucifer. Born the great-grandson of the original Lucifer, he was destined to be powerful. His mother being human meant that he was capable of being born with a powerful Sacred Gear that his father and grandfather both took notice of. He had to watch as his grandfather killed his father and then abused him. He was forced to flee his family and was thankfully taken in by Azazel. His mother, however, had her memory wiped of him and he cannot even interact with her, even after she's remarried and had two children.
