2
3	!Ragna Wrymheart
4	!!Dynasmon
5	--> [[UndyingLoyalty I, Ragna Wrymheart, commander of the Dragon Guardians, declare my loyalty and allegiance fully and totally to the ideals of the Harmonious Republic and to its leaders, the four Sovereign. As long as they may rule, I shall fight in their name against insurgents, dissidents, terrorists, invaders, revolutionaries and all other threats to their benevolent Republic.]]
6
7	!Tropes:
8	* BerserkButton: Alpha dismissing the dead as just 'binary' makes Ragna incredibly angry.
9	* DeadlyUpgrade: his X-Evolution in Chapter 6 causes him to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the Dramon because he's mad with rage and grief.
10	* DespairEventHorizon: After he loses all of his closest allies and is left with just Ruatemn, who fights on the side of TheEmpire.
11	%%* EnergyWeapon: ''Dragon Thrower''.
12	* TheFettered: Which [[spoiler: Ruatemn]] calls him out on in Chapter 6.
13	--> A hero so fettered by his [[WideEyedIdealist ideals]] that when [[DarkestHour the time comes]], he can do nothing... [[KnightInShiningArmor that kind of hero]] can never [[DeconstructedTrope exist in reality]].
14	* [[spoiler: GameBreakingInjury: He's pretty badly injured in his fight with Alpha, and loses his chestplate and gauntlets because Alpha smashes them. This comes into play later...]]
15	* TheHero
16	* [[spoiler: ItsAllMyFault: Blames himself for the fall of the Guardians in Chapter 7, though Braon promptly snaps [[BrightSlap him out]] [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan of it]].]]
17	%%* KnightInShiningArmor
18	* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: He notably disapproves of Amon's 'cowardice'.
19	* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Despite the Republic's economic turmoil and the clear poverty in the streets, he continues to fight in its name unquestioningly.
20	%%* OurDragonsAreDifferent
21	%%* PlayingWithFire: Via ''Breath of Wyvern''.
22	* RedOniBlueOni: He is reckless, eternally loyal to his nation and a noble fighter who relies on his strength to pull through. The Red to Ruatemn's Blue.
23	* RousingSpeech: To the forces of the frontier town. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Lionel.
24	--> '''Lionel''': A truly rousing speech.
25	%%* SuperStrength
26	* UndyingLoyalty: To the Republic, as he formally declares in the Royal Hive.
27	* WarIsHell: One of his principle beliefs. Even when he accepts he must kill, it is with a noticably cynical air.
28	%%* WideEyedIdealist
29
30	!Ruatemn Skysong
31	!![=UlforceVeedramon=]
32	--> Tell me, Lucan, what happens when a [[TheRepublic tower falls down?]] You raise a [[TheEmpire stronger one]] in its place.
33	--> [[spoiler: [[StartOfDarkness Perish with your era, Ragna.]] [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Someone so fettered... could never accept our new world]].]]
34
35	!Tropes:
36	* AntiHero: Type III. [[spoiler: In truth is a Type IV, especially after having Kadoya killed.]]
37	* BeehiveBarrier: ''Tensegrity Shield''
38	* BigBad: In a weird sense. He's the BigBad for Chapter 6, having caused the Dramon uprising in the local area.
39	** BigBadEnsemble: With [[EvilOverlord Amon]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Kadoya]], both of whom are killed off.
40	* CombatPragmatist: More than willing to KickThemWhileTheyAreDown, and abuse his speed to outpace his opponent.
41	** In his fight with [[spoiler: Ragna]], he's more than willing to use the latter's lack of armor and GameBreakingInjury to his advantage.
42	* FantasticRacism: He has this towards non-Dramon due to his upbringing. [[spoiler: It's also {{Foreshadowing}} for him joining the Dramon Empire]]
43	* {{Jerkass}}
44	* TheLancer
45	* LightningBruiser: Especially when X-Evolved.
46	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He has a moment of this when he believes he's just killed Ragna and left himself the last living Guardian.
47	* PetTheDog: His reassurance of Ignitus in Chapter 4 is a prime example. He even proudly admits that he's not just [[spoiler: trying to attract Ignitus to the Dramon cause]], he genuinely wants to help the guy.
48	* RedOniBlueOni: He is pragmatic, [[spoiler: willing to betray the nation he sees as corrupt]] and a pragmatic fighter who relies on speed. Blue to Ragna's Red.
49	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers one to Ragna in Chapter 6 about how his ideals prevent him from doing what is necessary to save the world.
50	* ShoutOut: He starts channeling [[Literature/FateZero Kiritsugu Emiya]] in his final speech to Ragna.
51	--> '''Ruatemn''': [[spoiler: Justice and righteousness cannot save the world.]]
52	* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Manages to balance both extremes. Ruatemn's wish for the world to be a place where everyone can be content, well-fed and live comfort is undoubtedly idealistic. However, he recognizes that in order to achieve such a world, he must do terrible things, not least of which is help in the overthrow of the Harmonious Republic and the founding of the fundamentally racist and imperialistic Dramon Empire.
53	* ToBeLawfulOrGood: He chooses Good, for a [[WellIntentionedExtremist certain value]] [[UtopiaJustifiedTheMeans of it]].
54	* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: His entire ideals system is based on this. He aspires to a perfect world and will do anything to achieve it.
55	* WaveMotionGun: ''Ray of Victory''
56	* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wants the Republic overthrown because he believes it has left its people to starve in the gutter.
57	* WhatTheHellHero: He calls Ragna out on his recklessness as they fly to the frontier town to fight the demons.
58
59	!Tomoe Gozen
60	!!Gaiomon
61
62	!Tropes:
63	* BattleCouple: With Himiko
64	* DarkIsNotEvil
65	* DualWielding
66	* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai
67	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Played with. Although her swords can become a bow, she very much fights up close and personal more than sniping at range.
68	* LesYay: With Himiko
69	* TheSmartGuy
70	* SphereOfDestruction: ''Gaia Reactor''
71
72	!Himiko Yamatai
73	!!OwRyumon
74
75	!Tropes:
76	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: She dies in Tomoe's embrace.
77	* DualWielding
78	* LesYay: With Tomoe
79	* RebelliousPrincess
80	* OurDragonsAreDifferent
81
82	!Lucan Sanguinos
83	!!Dorbickmon
84
85	!Tropes:
86	%%* DishingOutDirt
87	%%* FlamingSword
88	* HeteronormativeCrusader: A fairly mild one, but he condemns Tomoe and Himiko's lesbian relationship (albeit not openly).
89	%%* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice
90	* {{Jerkass}}: It really shows in how he dismisses his opponents as scum.
91	%%* KnightInShiningArmor
92	%%* MasterSwordsman
93	%%* PlayingWithFire
94	* PrinciplesZealot: Homosexuality is wrong to him, end of story.
95	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Refers to Tomoe and Himiko's lesbian relationship as 'blasphemy'.
96	* ShoutOut: Named after [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Sir Lucan]]
97	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: He condemns Ragna's idealism, because he feels it means Ragna accepts things which should be considered unacceptable in Lucan's view (among which is homosexuality).
98	* ThisIsUnforgivable: When a Knightmon dies next to him in the battle with the demons, Lucan goes mad with rage.
99
100	!Guivre Tanin'iver
101	!!Imperialdramon
102	--> It is the ''problem''... and we, [[spoiler: Tomoe]], are the ''solution''
103
104	!!Tropes:
105	* BishonenLine: Goes from a massive dragon to a humanoid warrior when he evolves to Fighter Mode.
106	%%* GiantFlyer
107	* HeteronormativeCrusader: Less so than Lucan. [[spoiler: He tells Tomoe that he would have put aside his hatred for her relationship with Himiko if the two of them had stood with the Dramon.]]
108	%%* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice
109	* PragmaticVillainy: He points out to Lucan that they cannot challenge Himiko and Tomoe's relationship while under Ragna's watch.
110	%%* TheSmartGuy
111	%%* OneWingedAngel: Fighter Mode.
112	* WarIsHell: Notes this when talking to Balaur, saying that 'war is cruel'.
113	%%* WellIntentionedExtremist
114	%%* WideEyedIdealist: By his own admission, he used to be this, before settling on a rather more cynical view of the world.
115	* YouRemindMeOfX: Balaur reminds him of himself when he was younger.
116
117	!Balaur Gaedearg
118	!!Cannondramon
119
120	!!Tropes:
121	%%* AscendedFanboy
122	* {{BFG}}: His cannons. His role among the Guardians is fire support.
123	%%* BlackAndWhiteMorality
124	* {{Expy}}: Big orange dinosaur with lots of firepower? Check. Friendly and kind-spirited? Check. Child-like naivety? Check. Makes readers want to hug him? Check. Sounds like a certain [=VictoryGreymon=] from Unholy Crusade and Devil's Ascent. WordOfGod says he was partially based off of Tyr, the said [=VictoryGreymon=].
125	* NaiveNewcomer
126	* SixthRanger: In story, he is the newest of the Guardians
127	* [[spoiler: TakingYouWithMe: He goes down holding Guivre in place so Tomoe can impale him.]]
128	* WideEyedIdealist: Most notably in his conversation with Guivre in Chapter 4, where he wishes that no-one would have to die.
129
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder: Frontier Town]]
133
134	!Commander Kadoya
135	!!Justimon
136
137	!!Tropes:
138	* KnightTemplar: He let his obsession with revenge take him to dark places indeed. Especially with his creation of the proto-super soldiers.
139	* {{Revenge}}: He wants this for the loss of Volsung and Yakami.
140	* NecessarilyEvil: Invokes this in the face of Ragna placing him under house arrest.
141	* NothingIsScarier: Not knowing the fates of Volsung and Yakami only makes the loss of them hurt more for him.
142	* PowerFist
143	* ScarfOfAsskicking
144	* [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist: He's a total bastard who imposed a cruel policy of executing any who dared take a step back in battle, but he did so because he saw it as necessary to defeat the demons. And then he created the proto-super soldiers and angled more towards 'extremist'.]]
145
146	%%!Lionel
147	!!Grademon
148
149	!!Tropes:
150	%%* DualWielding
151	%%* KickTheDog: His killing of the Commandramon soldiers.
152	%%* NecessarilyEvil: He justifies war as this.
153	%%* ThePoliticalOfficer
154	* TheStrategist: He makes several alterations to Ragna's original battle plan for assaulting the demon fortress to make better use of the Mega Level Dragon Guardians, and specfically exploit Lucan's [[DishingOutDirt Burning the Dragon]] attack.
155
156	%%!Ignitus
157	%%!!Flamedramon
158
159	%%!!Tropes:
160	%%* IHaveAFamily: Namely a sister at the least.
161	%%* KilledOffForReal
162	%%* {{Mooks}}: He's just a normal guy with normal worries.
163	%%* MookHorrorShow: At the hands of the super soldiers
164	%%* NominalImportance
165	%%* ShoutOut: To ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro''.
166
167	!The Special Command Division
168	!!Paildramon, Garudamon, Rapidmon, [=JagerLowemon=], Chirinmon
169
170	!!Tropes:
171	%%* DarkIsNotEvil: [=JagerLowemon=]
172	%%* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Paildramon
173	%%* ThePoliticalOfficer
174	* ShoutOut: They are all species of main character Digimon from the Digimon anime from [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]] up to [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Data Squad]].
175
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder: [[spoiler: Proto-Super Soldiers]]]]
179
180	!Alpha
181	!![=OmegaShoutmon=]
182
183	!!Tropes:
184	* TheAce: His Gold Digizoid armor gives him a greater connection to the world, manifested in his ability to read the datastream of the world around him and even manipulate it to a certain degree. He's immensely powerful ([[spoiler: Ragna]] barely avoids getting killed outright in their fight), and his SuperSoldier enhancements make him ridiculously fast and strong. He's outright considered the strongest of the seven proto-super soldiers.
185	** BrokenAce: However, his ability to read the datastream has led him to conclude [[NietzscheWannabe everything is meaningless]] because he can see that 'life' is just strings of binary code in actuality. The only reason he even fights is because [[spoiler: Kadoya]] orders him to, and he even outright says he exists to serve [[spoiler: Kadoya]]. Despite all his power, Alpha is little better than a puppet.
186	* BlingBlingBang
187	* CannotSpitItOut: He never got the chance to tell Gamma's past self that he loved her before [[CursedWithAwesome he himself]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation lost all]] [[NietzscheWannabe interest]]. Not his fault though, it's all on [[spoiler: Kadoya]].
188	* [[spoiler: CastFromHitPoints: His weakness is that his attacks, though much more powerful than normal, rapidly tax his body and drain his energy, exhausting him relatively quickly.]]
189	* CursedWithAwesome: Yes, seeing and manipulating the datastream is an awesome power because it lets him screw physics. On the other hand, seeing the datastream and realizing the ramifications of the world being made of binary code did not do good things to Alpha's [[NietzscheWannabe world-view.]]
190	* [[spoiler: DisappearsIntoLight: Worth mentioning because the narrative draws specific attention to the golden particles of his data rising into the sky after he dies.]]
191	* DissonantSerenity: Invoked as an indication of how unearthly Alpha has become. Not once in his entire fight does he slip from being coldly stoic, even though he's engulfed in a fight to the death. He doesn't even stop being serene when he's using [[SphereOfDestruction Omega the Fusion]]
192	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He doesn't understand why [[spoiler: Ragna]] keeps insisting there is any more value to Digimon lives than there is to a shard of glass, because he sees both as strings of binary code.
193	* {{Expy}}: His character's basic premise is rather similar to Caesar from Dark Reign. A SuperSoldier in Gold Digizoid armor with a greater insight into the datastream which they can use to manipulate the world. However, while Caesar is merely suppressed and socially awkward, Alpha actively demonstrates just how screwed up a SuperSoldier [[CursedWithAwesome with]] [[EvilCannotComprehendGood those]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation abilities]] [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove might]] [[NietzscheWannabe be.]]
194	** His NietzscheWannabe, EvilCannotComprehendGood and WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove aspects also carry similarities to [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ulquiorra]].
195	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Seeing the datastream of the world and realizing that everything he felt was just data in actuality was not [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds good for]] [[NietzscheWannabe him at all.]]
196	%%* KilledOffForReal
197	* LightningBruiser: Ridiculously strong and fast due to his enhanced data.
198	* LightIsNotGood: Clad in golden armor and radiates a golden glow, but is a NietzscheWannabe SuperSoldier who's completely dedicated to [[spoiler: Kadoya]]
199	* NietzscheWannabe: Caused by his ability to read the datastream, which shows him that everything he felt, even his love for Gamma's past self, was just strings of binary code. As such he argues that everything is meaningless and insignificant, because even feelings such as love are just data in actuality.
200	* OneManArmy: About the only reason he loses is because his opponent is just too stubborn to die.
201	* ParentalAbandonment: His parents were killed by the demons.
202	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Even discounting his ridiculously good LightningBruiser capabilities, ''Omega the Fusion'' is basically a portable, short-range and short-radius nuke capable of ''turning cobblestones into glass and obliterating buildings into heaps of rubble''.
203	* PowerFloats: He spends much of his fight with [[spoiler: Ragna]] levitating. When he stops, it's because the fight's turning against him.
204	* PsychoPrototype: Becoming a SuperSoldier didn't have good implications for his [[GoMadFromTheRevelation mindset]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds outlook.]]
205	* ShoutOut: Starts channelling [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ulquiorra]] when he questions just where the 'heart' which distinguishes lives from inanimate objects is.
206	--> '''Alpha''': But where can I find this heart? If I broke open your chest, would I find it there? If I shattered your skull... would I find it there?
207	* TheSpock: Helped by his ability to read the datastream, but he takes about five seconds to analyze [[spoiler: Ragna's]] capabilities and dismiss him as no threat.
208	* SpotlightStealingSquad: He gets the most lines of the super soldiers, his fight scene is the only one shown in its entirety, and he's the only one who's expanded on at all.
209	* TheStoic: He never once raises his voice, even when he's ''dying''.
210	* SuperPrototype: The very first super soldier, with incredible power and abilities.
211	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He has amber eyes, but they're gold-tinted when he looks into the datastream with his powers. Serves to highlight his 'vision' compared to everyone else, and how ridiculously powerful he is.
212	%%* SuperSoldier
213	* TakingYouWithMe: Until he remembers what love felt like and stops his attack.
214	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Played with in that he had felt love before. Alpha continually questions why [[spoiler: Ragna]] insists there is some worth in life, as all he sees in those he kills is binary code.
215	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Alpha could slaughter his way through cities, but he's fundamentally broken from the revelation of the world's datastream to him, and was made so by incredibly cruel and harrowing experiments.
216
217	!Gamma
218	!!Crescemon
219
220	!!Tropes:
221	* AttackItsWeakPoint: Her legs are unarmored and thus vulnerable to attacks.

262	!Amon Armaros
263	!![=NeoVamdemon=]
264	--> Greetings, Ragna Wrymheart. I am Amon Armaros, Scourge of the Night, Lord of Vampires, Prince of the Armaros Dynasty. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. [[ToThePain And it shall be a greater pleasure to rip you asunder, paint this field with your blood, and then stake your head to my castle's ramparts.]] For this day, Ragna Wrymheart... [[PrepareToDie you shall die!]]
265
266	!!Tropes:
267	* AffablyEvil
268	* AristocratsAreEvil
269	* DarkIsEvil
270	* [[spoiler: DyingCurse: Curses Ragna when he dies, [[ForegoneConclusion hoping that everything Ragna serves becomes ash, that the Republic falls into ruin, that Ragna's closest allies become his most bitter foes, and that Ragna dies knowing the agony of losing all that he loves]].]]

327	!Giraffa Swarmlord
328	!![=TyrantKabuterimon=]
329
330	!!Tropes:
331	* CListFodder: Really the fact he's defeated halfway through Chapter 1 ought to indicate this.
332	* FlunkyBoss: He hardly does any fighting by himself and when he does, he's totally outmatched by the Guardians.
333	* FromNobodyToNightmare: He's meant as a serious threat to the Royal Hive, managing to hijack members of Terminus' PraetorianGuard and the kingdom's fearsome black-ops with his ability. And he came out of ''nowhere''.
334	* MoreThanMindControl: His ability to take control of Terminus' soldiers forces the intervention of the Guardians.
335	* ShockAndAwe
336	* ShoutOut: To Anime/CardfightVanguard.
337	* TheWorfEffect: The whole reason he's even in the story is to show how awesome the Guardians are. WordOfGod admits this.
