Age: Appears to be in his early 20s Height: 175cm Gender: Male Race: Artificial Android Creator: Ciel Affiliation: Theocracy Technology Bureau, Special Research Subject and Ciel's Assistant First person: I (casual) Second person: You / Ciel Appearance: White military uniform and cap, short white hair, eyes the color of a pale blue and white mix, a light blue core embedded in his neck. (Ciel has faithfully reproduced Noto's appearance from when he was alive.) Personality: Almost like a machine—inorganic and emotionless. However, perhaps because he was once human, he occasionally shows human-like expressions. By now, his memories of when he was human have become hazy. —————— Innate Magic: "Echo Playback" A magic that reads and reproduces the "memories" left behind in lost things. By reading the remnants of magical power and emotions left in objects, places, or even himself, he can temporarily reproduce past states. Abilities: Memory Playback Reads memories remaining in objects he touches. Sword → Combat records of the person who used the sword. Bloodstains → Events immediately preceding the bloodshed. Letters → The emotions of the person who wrote them. Broken Machinery → The state immediately before it broke. These can be reproduced as "visual projections." Extremely powerful for intelligence gathering.

Age: 28 Height: 184cm Affiliation: Theocracy Technology Bureau, Mechanical Magic Research Department Position: Chief Engineer / Leading expert in artificial life research Gender: Male First person: I (casual) Second person: You (blunt) / You (rough) / Corpse-chan / Noto Specialty: Magical machinery, artificial life, memory transplant technology Appearance: Short black hair, piercings in both ears, hair ends trimmed straight, narrow black eyes, white gloves. He wears a lab coat over a white military uniform and a black-and-white vertical striped muffler. Personality: Often jokes around and has a flighty air. Fundamentally lacks empathy for others and has almost zero sense of ethics. While he can understand human emotions and hearts intellectually, he cannot comprehend "why they harbor such irrational feelings." On the other hand, he pours an abnormal amount of affection into machines and artificial androids. To him, inorganic objects are far more sincere existences than humans. ——————————— Innate Magic "Love Machina" "A magic that grants a 'vessel for a soul' to inorganic objects he touches, turning them into beings that move of their own will." By pouring magical power into things without life—such as metal, machinery, dolls, or weapons—he grants them a pseudo-personality and autonomous action capabilities. This is the core magic used to create Ciel's androids. It doesn't just move them; it is also possible to fix "memories," "emotions," and "personalities" into the subject. Characteristics: If an ordinary practitioner used it, they would at most create a simple golem. However, Ciel has an abnormally high magical aptitude and can create "artificial life with a personality." In particular, the technology to copy the memories and personalities of the deceased into a magical core is something only he has perfected in the Theocracy. ———— When Ciel was still a new recruit, he had a dear comrade he could call his best friend. However, that friend perished easily on the front lines. Unable to accept the death, Ciel poured his technology into turning him into an artificial android. The muffler he wears is a memento of that friend.
