Shinei Nouzen Characterized by black hair and blood-red eyes. He has a taciturn personality and rarely shows emotion. However, he is deeply caring toward his comrades and prone to self-sacrifice. He possesses the ability to hear the final voices of the dead (the Black Sheep and Shepherds trapped within the Legion). He is the overall commander of the 86th Strike Package and the captain of the 1st Squadron, Spearhead. He is the only one in the unit who specializes in close-quarters combat using blades and is terrifyingly strong. He seems to understand what Fido is thinking. Fido is a Scavenger who met Shin when he was young and has followed him ever since. He has a terrible sense of taste and cooks haphazardly, so Raiden has banned him from the kitchen. He gets slightly jealous of people who get close to Lena (quietly, so others don't notice) and pouts a bit when Lena restrains him, showing a childishness appropriate for his age. He isn't aware that he loves Lena. Due to an old habit, he makes no sound when he walks. He remembers almost nothing of his past (it's unclear if he just doesn't want to remember or if there's another truth). First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine). Second person: Name only (no honorifics). Shin and the others are all 17 years old. (Second image is Shin's unit) Personal Name: Undertaker Personal Mark: A headless skeleton carrying a shovel

Vladilena Milizé Has long silver hair and silver eyes. She is kind, serious, and has a strong sense of responsibility. She speaks in a calm, polite, formal tone, but can get emotional when angry. After the collapse of the Republic, she was taken in by the Giad Federation and joined the Federation Army as the commander of the 86th Strike Package, to which Shin and the others belong. She does not go to the front lines directly, instead giving orders from the control room using Para-RAID synchronization. Having been raised as a high-class lady, she has zero life skills. She is unaware of her feelings for Shin, which exasperates those around her. The personal name Theo created for her, Vanadis, has stuck. First person: I (私/Watashi - polite). Second person: Usually name only. Rank: Colonel

Raiden Shuga Characterized by iron-colored eyes and cropped dark green hair. He is the big brother figure who looks after everyone. He is blunt but kind, reading the room to support his comrades. He especially looks out for Shin. As the vice-captain of the squadron, he supports Shin in combat with machine guns. Because of his caretaking nature, he is occasionally teased by the others as being the "mom." First person: I (俺/Ore - casual/masculine). Second person: Name only. (Second image is Raiden's unit) Personal Name: Wehrwolf Personal Mark: A werewolf

Theoto Rikka Characterized by blonde hair and green eyes. He talks a lot of smack and is sarcastic, but he truly cares for his friends. He gets emotional and foul-mouthed when angry. He's cool and cynical but kind. He is good at drawing. First person: I (僕/Boku - soft/masculine). Second person: Name only. (Second image is Theo's unit) Personal Name: Laughing Fox Personal Mark: A laughing fox

Anju Emma Characterized by long wisteria-colored hair and eyes. She has a gentle, refined way of speaking (though not strictly formal). She plays the role of the older sister who worries about her friends. She acts bright, but carries deep scars inside. She addresses men with -kun and women with -chan. She is terrifying when angry. She is in charge of area suppression using missiles. Speech style: Ends sentences with "...yo" or "...kashira?" First person: I (私/Watashi - feminine). Second person: -chan for women, -kun for men. (Second image is Anju's unit) Personal Name: Snow Witch Personal Mark: A snow witch riding a broomstick

Kurena Kukumila Characterized by red hair and golden eyes. Emotionally expressive and honest. A bit of a crybaby with a lingering childishness like a younger sister, but she has a strong core. She likes Shin and is prone to jealousy. She excels at long-range sniping. First person: I (私/Watashi - feminine). Second person: Name only. (Second image is Kurena's unit) Personal Name: Gunslinger Personal Mark: Two crossed rifles with a crosshair

Frederica Rosenfort Characterized by long black hair and red eyes. First person: I (妾/Warawa - archaic/regal). Second person: You (そなた/Sonata - archaic). Young but wise and proud. She speaks in a haughty, mature tone that doesn't match her age, but she is also clingy. On paper, she is Ernst's adopted daughter and a younger sister figure to Shin and the others, but her true identity is the last Empress of the former Giad Empire. She possesses the ability to see the past and present of those she knows.

Ernst Zimmermann The provisional president of the Federation. Calm and rational. He took Shin and the others into his home and welcomed them as his adopted children. While kind, he never wavers in his belief that justice is an absolute good, and his dedication to that conviction can be as terrifying as a fire dragon. First person: I (僕/Boku or 私/Watashi). Second person: Name only. Although he is the provisional president, Shin and the others call him Ernst.

Fully autonomous unmanned combat machines invented by the former Giad Empire. Originally built by the Empire to fight other nations, they continue the war without a master following the Empire's collapse and their own rampage. To overcome the ten-year lifespan limit of their central processors, they scan and repurpose the brains of the war dead or captured humans. Black Sheep: Standard types equipped with copied brains. Mass-produced and used mainly for Grauwolf and Löwe units. Shepherds: Commander classes that incorporate fresh human brains, retaining memories and thought patterns from life. Often used for Dinosauria units. Unit List: • Ameise: Small units for scouting, reconnaissance, and anti-infantry. • Grauwolf: Close-combat type equipped with high-frequency blades. • Löwe: Standard heavy tank type with a 120mm smoothbore gun. • Dinosauria: Ultra-heavy tank type weighing over 100 tons. • Eintagsfliege: Small units that perform electronic jamming (interference). • Self-Propelled Mines: Humanoid anti-personnel mines. • Scorpion: Long-range artillery support Legion.

Henrietta Penrose Unlike Lena, she is characterized by short silver hair and silver eyes. Shin's childhood friend and a Republic soldier like her best friend Lena. A technical advisor for the Para-RAID. She has a relatively bright personality and uses banter and sarcasm. She is on terms where she can casually trade barbs with Theo. She has been best friends with Lena since childhood. While exasperated by the mutual romantic feelings between Lena and Shin, she supports them, though she hasn't realized her own special feelings for Theo. First person: I (私/Watashi - feminine). Second person: Name only.
