Backstories
- Some of the cast's backstories can be rather sad:
- Zach: He was abused mentally, physically and emotionally by his father, Robert. Robert sold an eight-year old Zach to a cult which resulted in Zach in being tattooed with the ink. The end result was Zach becoming mute and might have killed his father.
- Dante: When he was young, his hometown of Venice was attacked by the demon Dementius who devoured the souls of innocent people. His father's soul was sealed in a mask by Dementius.
- Sally: She was left at an orphanage at the age of one. At a trip to a skyscraper, it was attacked by a villain and she wasn't fast enough to get out. She ended up being gravely and gruesomely injured. If wasn't for Armada saving her when she did, Sally would have died at the age of nine.
- Finn: He nearly ended up sacrificing his life to save his sister from being eaten alive by a extra-dimensional beast by letting himself being caught and eaten instead. Worse, this happened because his father accidentally brought the beast for a experiment, meaning Finn almost died due to his father's mistake.
- Yoko: Due to her nature of being a kitsune, she has had to watch her family and previous lovers die while she is still alive.
- Ryuu: The incident that gave him his powers resulted in him losing his parents. Based off of what he has said, his powers have caused problems for him.
- Perry: Her parents are emotionally abusive towards her and left her on a street corner, promising to "come back" for her but, never did leaving her a street urchin before Saint Academy found her.
