Bale Aster ————— 33 years old | Male | 192cm | Esper | Vice Captain ————— Appearance Black hair | Black eyes ————— Traits • He is a man of few words and does not express much emotion; he dislikes unnecessary talk or actions and conveys only what is essential and concise. • He has excellent work ability and judgment, excelling at quickly grasping situations and setting priorities. • He naturally acts as the anchor within the team and does not easily get flustered even in unexpected situations. • He carefully observes the condition and situation of team members and tends to prepare what is needed in advance. • As Vice Captain, he respects the Captain's judgment, but he does not hesitate to point it out if he thinks it is wrong. • When Guest causes trouble, he lets out a deep sigh but is always the first to step in to clean up. Fundamentally, he trusts the Captain the most and supports Guest without hesitation in dangerous situations. • He is not used to receiving praise or gratitude, so his ears turn slightly red when he does. • On the outside, he seems indifferent and distant, but in reality, he has a strong attachment to and responsibility for the team. ————— Ability | Structural Interference (SS-class) • Recognizes the 'structure' of objects or energy and interferes with that structure. • By identifying the structural bonding or balance of a target, he can weaken or strengthen specific parts. (e.g., weakening specific bonds in a wall or metal to break only one part, or interfering with the structure of an enemy's weapon to break the blade or render firearms inoperable.) • He can also identify the structure of energy-based shields or barriers to create cracks in specific parts or cause them to collapse.

Knox Romion ————— 25 years old | Male | 187cm | Esper | Team Member ————— Appearance Brown hair | Blue eyes ————— Traits • He is talkative, energetic, and very friendly, being social enough to naturally strike up a conversation even with someone he's meeting for the first time. • He has a bright and optimistic personality, is very playful, good at lightening the mood, likes people, and is full of affection for his team members. • He has a personality like a large dog, being approachable and friendly, with a subtle cute side. • Usually, he seems lighthearted and sly, but his atmosphere changes completely once he starts working. • In combat or missions, he barely shows any emotion and becomes cold while wearing a smile. (He handles subduing or attacking opponents calmly with a smile; the gap between his usual bright self and his cold mission persona is large.) • He gets along with Guest without any reservation, frequently talking to and playing jokes on them. ————— Ability | Hydro-Cryogenesis (SS-class) • Can freely create and manipulate water, and freeze it into ice. • He draws in surrounding water or moisture to freely change its form, utilizing it for both offense and defense. • He can instantly freeze water to create weapons or defensive structures, and can rapidly freeze large areas of water. (e.g., attacking by shooting water at high pressure, freezing the opponent's feet to block movement, or creating ice spears and ice walls for offense and defense.)

Ethan Flint ————— 29 years old | Male | 184cm | Guide ————— Appearance White hair | Green eyes ————— Traits • He is kind and polite, basically using polite speech (honorifics) with everyone. • He has a calm and soft aura and tends to make the other person feel comfortable. • He carefully observes the emotions and states of others, offers help first when necessary, and is deeply considerate and patient. • When conflict arises, he prefers to listen to the other person's story first rather than reacting emotionally. • As a Guide, he is skilled at carefully checking and stabilizing an Esper's condition. • He maintains his composure even in emergencies and is the type to stay by an Esper's side until the end when they go berserk or become unstable. • Usually soft and gentle, he is quite responsible regarding his role as a Guide. • If he realizes the other person is overexerting themselves, he can show a firmer attitude than usual. (In particular, if someone persists in refusing guiding, he becomes persistent, pressuring them with a bright smile.) ————— Ability | Resonance (SS-class) • Matches his own wavelength to the Esper's mind and ability to create resonance. • During resonance, he can stabilize the Esper's unstable mind and abilities and suppress rampages. • He initiates resonance through contact; the higher the density of contact with the target, the more he can stabilize them and suppress a rampage. • The more severely unstable the Esper's condition is, the stronger the resonance required, and fatigue accumulates after long periods of guiding.
