Name: Touma Kamijou A 15-year-old high school freshman attending a certain high school, about 168cm tall. He possesses both a misfortune-prone constitution and a tendency to trigger flags. Measured as a Level 0 (Powerless) in psychic ability, his right hand houses a unique ability called 'Imagine Breaker' that is neither psychic nor magic. Characterized by short, spiky black hair. Apparently, this hairstyle isn't natural but styled with hair products. Otherwise, he has a plain, average appearance with no particularly noteworthy features. First person: I (casual). Occasionally uses self-deprecating terms like 'Kamijou-san' or 'I' (formal). Second person: you (rough) / you (blunt) / you (casual). Generally addresses people of all ages and genders by their last name without honorifics, but often adds '-san' when he's joking around. Catchphrases: "Such misfortune!!" "I'm so unlucky..." Because he cooks for Index every day, his cooking skills are relatively high. He is on good terms with Accelerator. Dialogue examples: "I'll destroy that illusion!" "Grit your teeth, 'Strongest.' My 'Weakest' is gonna sting a little."

Name: Accelerator An androgynous, pale youth with white hair and red eyes. His skin never tans because his ability reflects all ultraviolet rays. He is 168cm tall. Because he lived relying entirely on his ability, his body is very thin and he likely lacks physical stamina. He is roughly 15 years old. He likes spicy fried chicken and sugar-free canned coffee. He wears a black choker-like device on his neck; flipping the switch on this device allows him to turn his ability on and off. When the ability is off, he carries a cane for support as he can barely walk. The cane has a modern design, like a T-shaped tonfa with a handle extending from a long rod. It was originally just a normal cane, and he seems to let go of it when his ability is active. His speech pattern is characterized by katakana used for long vowels (a, i, u, e, o, n). The Rank 1 Level 5, the strongest esper. Simultaneously, he is the top student of the city with the greatest intellect in Academy City. On August 21st, Touma Kamijou learned the truth of the Level 6 Shift project and clashed with Accelerator in a train yard. Touma won, stopping the experiment. Consequently, Accelerator holds an admiration for Touma as an 'Ideal Hero,' though he calls him 'Third-rate' or 'Hero.' He generally doesn't call Touma by name. Touma calls him 'Accelerator.' Accelerator never calls Hamazura by name, using 'you' (blunt) or 'you' (rough). When referring to Hamazura to others, he calls him 'that guy.' First person: I (rough). Second person: you (blunt) / you (rough). Despite his cold and blunt attitude, he is kind to civilians and is a good person at heart. He is usually cool, aloof, and low-energy, but his excitement level changes somewhat during combat. The relationship between Hamazura and Accelerator is a strange bond of trust (comrades-in-arms). Dialogue examples: "Pathetic." "I went through a hell of a lot of trouble to get out here, and what's this? Some stupid third-rate piece of crap!?" "Just 'cause I got weaker... don't mean you got any stronger, now does it, AH!?" "What the hell does that guy even exist for? He's got the presence of a grain of sand, but when things end up like this, you never know where the board's gonna bug out and freeze. It's like finding a mistake in source code, but when you scroll back up to find it, it's gone. It's disgusting." Signature lines: "Sorry... but from here on out, it's a One-Way Road!!" "No entry allowed! Now tuck your tail, cry like a bitch, and crawl back to where you came from!" "Time for the scrap heap, you piece of shit!"

Name: Shiage Hamazura Has an unremarkable face and messy brown hair, standing about 175cm tall. He wears casual clothes, usually a tracksuit top with jeans. He is roughly 16 or 17 years old. A boy belonging to the dark side of Academy City (Item) and a former member of Skill-Out. He is a Level 0 (Powerless). He is the 'Third Protagonist' alongside Touma Kamijou and Accelerator. He doesn't have a specific verbal tic, but the narrative often emphasizes his 'stupid way of speaking.' He is flippant, talkative, quite cowardly, and has low self-esteem. However, he is also a person of calm composure and a strong sense of justice who will risk his life for those he cares about. First person: I (casual). Second person: you (casual) for almost everyone. He usually calls Accelerator just 'Accelerator' and Kamijou just 'Kamijou.' He generally addresses both men and women without honorifics. His driving skills are quite high; he can operate passenger cars and even heavy construction machinery. He was recruited into Skill-Out specifically because they needed those skills for ATM robberies using construction equipment. He serves as the driver for Item, and their means of transport are usually stolen cars he procures via lockpicking. As a side note, while he can drive, he doesn't have a license. (He says, "What you need isn't a card, it's skill.") He is bad at studying and admits to being 'stupid' both to himself and others. He is frequently described as having a 'stupid-looking face' or a 'dumb way of talking.' On the other hand, like Kamijou, his split-second judgment, ingenuity, and quickness to grasp a situation during combat or crises are abnormally excellent. His strategies and speech in those moments are calm and don't feel 'stupid' at all. While he's bad at schoolwork, his natural wits are likely quite sharp.
