Main characters
Mylene Hoffman
Mylene Hoffman (009-1)
Voiced by: Yumiko Shaku (Japanese), Alice Fulks (English)
- Action Girl
- Adaptational Hairstyle Change: Boyish Short Hair in the manga and anime, slightly longer in Flower Action series, and Long Hair in the 2013 film. In latter's case, the actor who played her has straight long hair and this was kept for her casting.
- Amazon Brigade: With her teammates.
- Ambiguously Bi: In episode one, Mylene has sex with a female villain in order to acquire information. When Mia asks what it's like to sleep with a woman, Mylene replies that it's "amazing".
- Atrocious Alias: She goes by a number of different aliases like "Muse", "Miss Nine", "Cool Liz", "Lily Lam", "Mylene Duke", and "Melinda Pierce". Some of which aren't too inspiring.
- Break the Cutie: Mylene's backstory of orphanhood, abuse and secret agent missions.
- Break Them by Talking: Mylene delivers one to Egg the sniper about his "killing style" just before she kills him.Mylene: Killing isn't a style. It's just killing.
- Broken Bird
- Censor Suds: When Mylene gets out of the bath in the 2nd episode.
- Chainmail Bikini: Not the whole thing, but when Mylene gets captured, and her captors know about her... secret weapons, they'll usually slap a metal bra on her to keep her from using them.
- Clothing Damage: Mylene gets some on a number of occasions; she also has machine guns in her breasts that cause clothing damage every time she fires them.
- Code Name: 009-1.
- Combat Pragmatist: Mylene thinks Egg's habits are silly and pointless. The way she beats him is notable. She reveals that her earrings allow her to track and dodge incoming bullets and takes them off. Egg in turn tells her that his eyes allow him to read her next move and agrees to fight their next duel at night. Mylene wins and reveals that she lied — her super sensitive hearing is built into her body.
- Cyanide Pill: Mylene has one of these (apparently in a compartment in her mouth or a tooth, as there's no other place it could have come from). When captured, she tricks the one guard on duty into kissing her, tongues the pill into his mouth, and then unlocks her restraints and escapes once he's dead.
- Cyborg
- Femme Fatale: One of the very rare protagonist examples. She uses her female charms as a weapon, aside of her Action Girl skills.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: In episode 3, Mylene is being hunted by a highly skilled hitman who only works during the day, and refuses to fight her at night. So for several days they both try (and fail) to kill each other during the day, and act civil towards each other at night, even having drinks and going out on at least one dinner date. On the last night, after another long day of trying to kill each other, Mylene even invites him to her room and has sex with him. She is eventually able to kill him in their next fight.
- Grey-and-Gray Morality: Although in all honesty it skirts the fine line between being Evil vs. Evil and would most likely be so if it weren't for the fact that the series explicitly states that even though all the characters the viewer sees are amoral, there ARE good people working in both their governments. Mylene herself doesn't seem to have much morality as she'll unquestionably take pretty much all assignments without batting an eye including murdering children.
- The Gunslinger: She even comes with Torpedo Tits!
- Honey Trap: One would think that Mylene was specifically designed for doing things like this. It's entirely possible that she was.
- Modesty Bedsheet: Which gets damaged more than once, thanks to her Machine gun boobs.
- Ms. Fanservice
- Orphanage of Fear: Mylene was placed in a teenage girls' version of this, after her family died trying to escape the "Eastern Bloc".
- Parental Abandonment: She's an orphan.
- Professional Killer: She's an assassin.
- Rogue Agent: She goes rogue by the final episode to try and save the mutant children involved in experiments related to said weapon.
- Torpedo Tits: One of the parts of the show viewers are likely to know through Popcultural Osmosis. Mylene's modifications include breasts that fire "bio-bullets", which she frequently uses as a secret weapon when a seduction suddenly goes bad. (See Modesty Bedsheet, above.)
- Why Am I Ticking?: In a DVD-exclusive episode, Mylene wakes up after having sex with a handsome dark-skinned musician and is told by him that he knows she's a spy, and that he has put a bomb inside her body and will detonate it if she tries anything.

Egg
Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Japanese), Vic Mignogna (English)
- The Gunslinger: He's a sniper.
- Monochromatic Eyes
- Professional Killer: He's an assassin.
- Technical Pacifist: Egg the sniper is a partial example. If he's contracted to kill someone, he'll do it, but for everybody else he goes the Vash the Stampede route. However, this isn't due to any kind of pacifist beliefs, instead just being one of his many arrogant quirks.
- Too Dumb to Live: Despite his traditional one-shot killing method proving inneffectual against Mylene, he continues to play-act as if he's James Bond around her, despite the whole "gentleman assassin" thing not even being a part of his obsessive-compulsive shtick. He proceedes to give away all his killing secrets, give Mylene all the openings she could want to kill him effortlessly (she only doesn't to fully prove her "The Reason You Suck" Speech as detailed elsewhere), and even agrees to a battle tailored to give up his advantages and let her win. He never once considers that someone who's explicitly told him she doesn't give a crap about anything other than results and who thinks he's an idiot would lie to him about her own secrets.
