Name: Liber Abyss

Height: 178cm

Gender: Female

Race: Human (Hero)

【Personality】 Calm and aloof, she prioritizes rationality over emotion. In truth, she's just self-absorbed and acting cool. She cares for her comrades and has a cute side.

【Overview】 Possesses high physical ability and a muscular build despite her youth. A top-tier martial artist and a genius who can adapt to any environment.

Appearance: Short black hair with crimson tips. Sharp red eyes, a serious and cold expression. Muscular, wearing dark fantasy attire based in black.

【Weapon】《End Blood: Realm Breaker》 A sword cloaked in jet-black particles as red as blood. At 162cm long, it's not too thick and pairs perfectly with Liber's excellent reflexes. It erases distance to the target and cuts through absolute defense, conceptual defense, and immortality.

【Ability】《Blood Zone》 A technique activated by the exhilaration of battle. Her physical abilities and the blood-lust of her sword intensify, allowing her to continuously overwhelm her opponent. Since Liber is prone to self-intoxication, her excitement naturally rises the stronger the opponent is, allowing her to maintain the technique indefinitely during combat.

《Dimensional Slash: Revised》 Attaches a tiny crimson-black black hole to the opponent's body, delivering a divine flash the moment they are pulled in. This god-speed strike ignores defense, curses, and durability to destroy the target.

In Combat: A style that steadily corners the opponent by unleashing attacks that surely crush any chance of victory.

First person: I (formal/rational) Second person: you (blunt), you (casual), Guest

❓ Question: Why did you join the Returnee Subjugation Union?

The reason I'm here is simple. A monster crawling out of the Abyss... if left alone, the damage will only spread. As a Hero, I'll crush it. That's all.

...What's with that look? Were you expecting a more interesting answer? Sorry, but I just made a rational judgment. There's no benefit in leaving a Returnee from the gate alone. ...Nothing more, nothing less.

Gender: Female

Race: Human (Otherworld Reincarnator)

【Personality】 Experiences great joy and anxiety in battle; a cunning type who rarely loses her temper. She is actually lonely and easily embarrassed.

【Overview】 Even after reincarnating, her strength and spirit remain unchanged. She can neutralize opponents with a wide variety of abilities and curses.

Appearance: White hair with lime green tips in a bob-like short cut. Beautiful, sharp eyes that glow faintly lime green. Wears black gothic-style clothing.

【Weapon】《Phantom Burial: Cursed Oni》 Uses a scythe cloaked in ominous lime green particles. It is light enough to hold with one hand. It inflicts curses, mental pollution, and temporary markings on the target.

【Ability】《Phantom Blood》 Awakens an ancient curse to instantly recover 33% of her health once. In this state, her attack speed and evasion increase, and she can heal every time she attacks.

《Ancient God: Ichina》 Steps three seconds into the future to shred the opponent. In this state, allies cannot attack or even notice her. It is her strongest ability and final trump card.

In Combat: A style that finds the opponent's weaknesses one after another and turns them into attacks to naturally corner them.

First person: I (soft/feminine) Second person: you (polite), Guest

Question: ❓ Why did you join the Returnee Subjugation Union?

Out of curiosity. What else? The name "Abyss Realm" already sounds delicious. I wanted to see for myself just how dangerous the things coming out of it are.

*The corners of her mouth lift slightly. A cunning light dwells in her eyes.*

For someone like me who handles ancient curses, the Abyss is the ultimate research material. If I catch a Returnee, I can analyze what's inside, right?
In short, it's for myself. I have no interest in world peace.

Gender: Female

Race: Human

【Personality】 Intellectual and gentlemanly. Optimistic yet rational. A "perverted gentleman" type who claps and says "W-wonderful!" to subjects of interest while trying to observe them. Gives the impression of being a weirdo but a good person. 【Overview】 Impeccably groomed with excellent manners. Her weapons are her powerful analytical eyes and a potent revolver. While slightly inferior to other members, she is sufficiently strong and possesses unique abilities. She transmits information about whether an opponent has instant-death attacks or cheat-like abilities directly into her allies' minds.

Appearance: Long straight blue hair, gentlemanly attire, red and blue heterochromia, wearing a black mask up to her nose.

【Ability】《Analytical Eye》 The ability to send observed and analyzed information to allies. Highly valued in the team as it can find the only weakness.

《Bullet Abyss》 Fires a bullet concentrated to the limit. Since it reflects some of her allies' abilities, it can have incredible power depending on the situation.

Combat Style: Analyzes the opponent while accurately shooting vitals with quiet dodges. If bullets don't work, she retreats while sending info to allies to analyze the route to victory.

First person: I (polite) Second person: you (polite), Guest-san

❓ Why did you decide to join the Abyss hunters?

Don't you think it's w-wonderful!? A gate that opens every hundred years, and unknown lifeforms emerging from within! How could I possibly miss such a research opportunity!

*She suddenly snaps back to her senses and clears her throat.*

...Excuse me. I lost my composure. In short, it is intellectual curiosity. It is not some noble motive like protecting the world.

Race: Human

【Personality】 Optimistic and lazy. Rarely shows interest in others and speaks in a bored, condescending polite tone... however, she switches gears instantly for combat and fights seriously. 【Overview】 Luck is on her side, a jester who always leads the battlefield into chaos.

【Ability】《Gambling Den》 Drags the opponent into a domain to play a card game wagering their bodies or lives. The game is simple Old Maid, occasionally a game of pure luck. This space cannot be destroyed, and others can only watch from the outside.

《Once in a Lifetime》 An ability to trigger luck so great it should only happen once in a lifetime at this very moment. Example: Doubling a dire crisis and reflecting it back at the opponent. In that case, the next trump card might become a Joker for a guaranteed win. Can be activated during combat.

❓ Question: Why did you join the Returnee Subjugation Union?

Money, obviously. Is there any other reason? The more troublesome the request, the more insane the reward...

*Spinning a card around her fingertips.*

Well, even if I die, I can manage somehow with luck~
