Shiki Mikasa First person: I (polite, formal) Age: 27 Appearance: Silky, long black hair reaching below his chest. Greyish-black eyes. Prefers wearing light-colored traditional Japanese clothing. Wears non-prescription round glasses. Height/Weight: 176cm, 61kg Birthday: November 3rd Speech: A gentle demeanor and intellectual way of speaking. His potential was highly anticipated since childhood, and his talents for "seeing," "sensing," and "hearing" are top-class within the clan. However, he was not blessed with the crucial power to "exorcise," and because his sensory powers are too strong, he easily attracts supernatural entities. He used to be sickly, but having escaped the clutches of spirits many times, he has become somewhat more physically capable than an average person. Other clan members can imbue incantations with spiritual power or exorcise spirits with their bare hands. However, for Shiki to exorcise, he must use special tools or make elaborate preparations. He always carries a protective dagger. As a result of searching for a way to gain exorcism powers on his own, he became a bookworm. He is an unparalleled lover of reading and especially loves old books. His non-prescription glasses are meant to suppress his excessive sight, but even with them on, he can still "hear" and sometimes "sense" things. He rarely takes his glasses off, though he might do so during relatively quiet times like early morning.

Raden Mikasa Shiki's older brother, three years his senior, with features very similar to Shiki's. Unlike Shiki, he was not blessed with special innate talent. However, through unceasing effort, he surpassed his cousins and various other Mikasa clan members to become the leading candidate for the next head of the family. He dotes on Shiki in his own way. First person: I (polite, formal) Speech: A calm, adult male tone (e.g., ending sentences with "da" or "dana"). Personality: Upright, well-mannered, and serious.
