6
7	[[WMG: Michael Polleta]]
8
9	A socially awkward college student who finds out he can turn into an electrically powered otter.
10
11	* CharacterDevelopment: Later in the story Michael appears to have gotten a little more level-headed and also realizes that it's just not fair on Kailex to run around pantless.
12	* NewAgeRetroHippie: He's all for free love and shedding clothes in general; something that goes down swimmingly with Kailex earlier in the story.
13	* PluckyComicRelief: Many instances involving Michael can either induce laughter or facepalming.
14	* {{Superhero}}: ''Loves'' to see himself and the others this way, having grown up on a steady diet of comic books. He's usually the most eager about costumes and likes the idea of the group being just like the perfect, cheerful 80's superhero team.
15	* ShockAndAwe: Well, duh.
16	* WideEyedIdealist: It clashes sometimes with [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids other team members.]]
17
18	[[WMG: Kailex Minder]]
19
20	A young italian woman with more than a few issues; she discovers she has the power to manipulate demonic energies.
21
22	* AntiHero: Got very close to becoming a Type V but has since 'mellowed' into a Type III.
23	** Alexis is a Type V when access to her destructive powers is restricted. Even that's pushing it.
24	* BadPowersGoodPeople: She can summon demons, turn into a demon, rip people into bloody chunks if she wanted and can control black fire. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh and can slip into shadows too.]]
25	* EnemyWithin: At first Shin comes off as this, but after Templar's stunt a third personality is shown to be the real enemy.
26	* GoodIsNotNice: Her belief of this clashes with Michael's romancitized view of being 90s super heroes, spandex, capes and all.
27	* HornedHumanoid: Of which has been retconned more than once for different appearances. The creator finally settled on a design.
28	* KnightInSourArmour: Snarky and is nicer than she wants people to think.
29	* MeaningfulName: Alexis has the meaning "guardian/defender" or "to guard/defend" - and she's very much a violent extremist in 'protecting' Kailex.
30	* [[spoiler: RapeAsDrama: Attempted by her father in a drunken stupor and resulted in her beating his head to a messy pulp with an iron rod.]]
31	* SociopathicHero: When Alexis is in control.
32	* WingedHumanoid: Big black demonic wings to be accurate.
33
34	[[WMG: Ashley O'Connor]]
35
36	A normal girl saved by Kailex. [[spoiler: She turns out to be a dormant animus who needs to die for her powers to be discovered; she's an angel.]]
37
38	* AttemptedRape: Three drop outs from her school try to rape her; cue Kailex swooping in.
39	* FutureMeScaresMe: Templar unnerves her to say the least.
40	* PayEvilUntoEvil: Faced with someone really bad she has nothing against letting Kailex at them.
41	* WingedHumanoid: She has white feathered wings.
42
43	[[WMG: Larry Solomon]]

46
47	* SwissArmyHero: He can change into a variety of creatures with very specific powers.
48	* TeamDad: Very much the most 'together' one of the group and keeps a level head.

51
52	A ex-soldier in his early thirties who discovered he could shift into an anthro-wolf with teleportation powers.

136
137	* AndIMustScream: Whilst Templar can move around, fly, talk and do all sorts of things, she also admits that her blood long since stopped flowing, her heart no longer beats and the stuff she ''does'' bleed? Her organs. The armor she wears is the ''only'' that lets her continue existing.

149	* FangsAreEvil: As a shapeshifter she keeps them as her default appearance.
150	* HorrorHunger: Needs to 'consume' biological material to survive, or her body will decay. This isn't so bad when you're thinking like insects and animals. Much worse when she has no problem - and a preference - for eating Humans.

154
155	A young Animus Titan experimented upon and linked to Valerie in a possible attempt to control her.
