| 13 | -->''"Well, I can't tell anything about my future anyway. As long as I'm alive, that's all I need."'' |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The main character, Ageha is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who runs a business where he helps people for a small fee. He lives with his sister, though his father comes around every now and then. Their mother died a few years back though. Ageha finds his way into Psyren after trying to help fellow classmate Sakurako, and unlocks his latent psychic power after surviving his first round. Nemesis Q seems to have a special interest in him. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | !!Tropes associated with Ageha: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Melchsee's door. The raw version destroys absolutely everything, including allies. The Lance and Splash forms have the same problem, though with the former it takes a strong PSI signature for that to happen, and Splash widespread damage is the intent. Disc is only good at close range, and Sphere puts massive amounts of stress on him. |
| 20 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: Most of his techniques have been thought up on the spot to suit the situation perfectly. |
| 21 | * BullyHunter: Back when he was in school. |
| 22 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Amamiya. |
| 23 | * CooldownHug: To Amamiya when [[spoiler:her SuperpoweredEvilSide tries to kill him]]. |
| 24 | * CursedWithAwesome: Ageha's Melchsee's door is a weapon of pure destruction that works based on the user's emotions, which is a really bad thing for PSI to be based on. The last recorded person with this power went crazy. He seems to be doing fine, and is steadily gaining more and more control over it. After defeating Miroku, he gains perfect control over it. |
| 25 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Ageha's signature burst is jet black, and this attribute is so unique that it becomes his calling card to the W.I.S.E. |
| 26 | * EleventhHourSuperpower: Most of Ageha's door variants have been created at the last second, or thought out but not really tested. Subverted in that because of this he really doesn't realize the weaknesses of them until it's too late. |
| 27 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: Oboro likes him ''a lot''. |
| 28 | * TheHero: Of the Psyren Drifters. |
| 29 | * LuminescentBlush: Takes this up to eleven by having his entire face, his ears, and his neck blushing so much he looks AmbiguouslyBrown. |
| 30 | * MeaningfulName: Ageha is a type of butterfly, a throwback to the ButterflyOfDoom, changing the future through actions in the present. |
| 31 | * OneWingedAngel: Enters one of these in Nova. |
| 32 | * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: At least before his PSI training. |
| 33 | * TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: [[spoiler:Defeats Miroku in the present by basically overloading him with memories from Psyren, from his own experience and #07's.]] |
| 34 | * SphereOfDestruction: The uncontrolled form of Melchsee's Door. |
| 35 | * SuperMode: Nova. It causes him to manifest a OneWingedAngel form called "Raging King". |
| 36 | * SuperpowerLottery: Melchsee's Door is an Anti-PSI power... in a story where ''everyone'' has it. [[spoiler:He even defeats the BigBad with ease, due to [[ElementalRockPaperScissors the fact that the power is extremely effective against Psi in general]] [[EnergyBeings which Future-Miroku is made of]].]] |
| 37 | * SwissArmySuperpower: His power itself is this after learning to program it. |
| 38 | ** [[SphereOfDestruction Melchsee's Sphere ]]: Releases branches that home in one any PSI signature, piercing them and sucking them dry. |
| 39 | ** [[KameHameHadoken Melchesse's Lance]]: An energy beam that homes in on a target and pierced them from afar. |
| 40 | ** [[DeflectorShields Disc]]: Both a shield, and a [[RingsOfDeath cutting implement at close range]]. |
| 41 | ** [[DeathInAllDirections Splash]]: Which is equivalent to baseball-sized shrapnel flying everywhere. |
| 42 | ** [[SuperMode Nova Form]]: His emotion-fueled PSI is forced its logical extreme, wearing it as an armor, having several halos over him, and multiple raw doors floating around him. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | !Sakurako Amamiya |
| 45 | [[quoteright:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sakurako.jpg]] |
| 46 | |
| 47 | -->''"Are you okay? You´re giving off...smoke? Tehehe...looks like I cut your core clean in half."'' |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Known as the "Ice Queen", Sakurako is a girl at Ageha's school who's prone to long periods of absence, from which she returns bruised and bandaged up. She avoids contact with all other people, keeping an emotionless façade when forced to interact. Her parents are neglectful, having both basically abandoned her after splitting up and not batting an eye when she vanishes for weeks at a time. She saves Ageha upon his first entrance to Psyren, and is protected by him for the duration of that trip. She then becomes his and Hiryuu's first tutors in using PSI. She eventually [[DefrostingIceQueen warms up to them]]. She is described by Shao as "Seven Finely Sharpened Blades" when he reads her mind. So far she has two named attacks--Insanity Scythe Mind Jack, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and a remote-viewing technique called Peeping Lover. |
| 50 | ---- |
| 51 | !!Tropes associated with Sakurako: |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * ActionGirl: The most prominent in the series. |
| 54 | * AffectionateNickname: Kabuto refers to her as "Bunny". |
| 55 | * BreakTheCutie: Psyren has that effect on people. |
| 56 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Ageha. |
| 57 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Over the course of the series she slowly comes out of her shell and warms up to Ageha and the others. |
| 58 | * EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:Abyss]]. |
| 59 | ** [[spoiler:Which eventually becomes an EnemyWithout, but then they have a SplitPersonalityMerge and decide to share the body and dominance over it]]. |
| 60 | * LuminescentBlush: After Ageha learns that she is in love with him she goes really {{Moe}} and keeps this for a chapter or so while interacting with him. |
| 61 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: She's proficient in wielding several different weapons, but it's a cursed katana [[spoiler:that gives her the special power of revealing her true self]]. |
| 62 | * TheLancer: She acts as Ageha's second when in Psyren. |
| 63 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Learns to fight alongside Abyss after mastering Nova and the use of her new sword.]] |
| 64 | * MasterOfIllusion: As a result of her skill with Trance. |
| 65 | * MultiMeleeMaster: During the course of the series she's seen using swords, kusarigama, tonfa, knives and some sort of axe-like weapon. A picture from a flashback implies she's adept at using many other melee weapons such as spears, axes and clubs. |
| 66 | * ParentalAbandonment: Her mother basically abandoned her, while her father only sends money to support her living alone. |
| 67 | * PersonalityPowers: Normal Sakurako, who's stoic and reserved, is a Rise/Trance specialist. [[spoiler:Abyss, who's slightly unhinged, is a Burst/Rise specialist]]. |
| 68 | * PsychoPartyMember: Sakurako is infamously crazy and prone to violence. |
| 69 | * SinisterScythe: Her Trance takes the form of a scythe in the group's third journey. Subverted in that it doesn't slice, but causes MindRape. [[spoiler:When Abyss is in charge, the Wired Mind Jacks are turned into black sickles on cables.]] |
| 70 | * TheStoic: She's initially an "Ice Queen," though she gets better over time. |
| 71 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Which isn´t really evil or much more superpowered than she is.]] |
| 72 | * SuperMode: Nova. [[spoiler:It lets her fight together with her [[LiteralSplitPersonality other half "Abyss"]] while enhancing the abilities of both.]] |
| 73 | * TookALevelInBadass: Psyren has this effect on people, too. |
| 74 | * {{Yandere}}: Mainly [[spoiler:Abyss]], but then again Sakurako is normally so repressed... Also, one of her techniques is called Peeping Lover. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | !Hiryuu Asaga |
| 77 | [[quoteright:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hiryuu.jpg]] |
| 78 | |
| 79 | -->''"I swore to become that hero, so that I could carry myself with pride when I meet you again."'' |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Also known as "Dragon" Asaga, Hiryuu went to elementary school with Ageha, who bullied him for being a cry-baby. Eventually he became bigger than Ageha, and they went to different schools. They meet again in Psyren, and after their first round he learns PSI quicker than Ageha does. He acts as Ageha's [[TheLancer Lancer]] and the Ego in their original Trio. He eventually becomes TheBigGuy when Oboro and Kabuto arrive. Matsuri, who is worried about Ageha and Oboro [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity going mad with their power]], tells Hiryuu that he is the only one who could stop either of them should the worst happen. |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | !!Tropes associated with Hiryuu: |
| 84 | |
| 85 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Played up as Ageha's potential rival in love in a LoveTriangle with Ageha and Sakurako in earlier chapters, but his relationship with Tatsuo is ''[[HoYay interesting]]'', to say the least. It plays out very much like a ChildhoodFriendRomance. |
| 86 | * BigDamnHeroes: Team Dragon saving the day. |
| 87 | * TheBeastmaster: The final progression of his power is to conjure a spectral dragon out of pure PSI that he can ride. |
| 88 | * TheBigGuy: Of the group, he fills this role. |
| 89 | * BullyHunter: Because one growing up, partly to inspire Tatsuo. |
| 90 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Spends a lot of his time [[spoiler:in the future, doing his own work separate from the main group, and is not seen in the manga for a long period. He also doesn't participate in the last battle for the Promised Tears.]] |
| 91 | * LeftForDead: [[spoiler:Survives, naturally]]. |
| 92 | * MadeOfIron: Having survived [[spoiler:falling from the stratosphere]], this easily applies. |
| 93 | * MightyGlacier: His Rise powers are more suited for strength, endurance and defense than speed and senses. |
| 94 | * MeaningfulName: Hiryuu's (literally "flying dragon")Burst manifests in the form of dragon wings and a dragon tail. |
| 95 | * TheWorfEffect: One of the main victims. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | !Oboro Mochizuki |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[quoteright:75:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Oboro.jpg]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | -->''"We've only just met today! Must you end your life here?! Unacceptable! I won't allow you to! My life as Mochizuki Oboro is just getting interesting. To protect that life, I need every piece, not lacking a single one!"'' |
| 102 | |
| 103 | A popular idol, Oboro is first seen talking about Psyren on live television--and nearly dying in the process. After being saved by Elmore and Van, he makes his first trip there and met Ageha, Hiryuu, and Sakurako. Unlike most Drifters, Oboro has his PsychicNosebleed to awaken his powers in Psyren instead of after leaving, and comes to an hour or so later. Not only that, but he remembers the way the psychic energy used to heal him feels, and is able to replicate it perfectly. He also is able to catch the strongest Rise user in Japan off-guard the first time using it, and shows some... ''interesting'' uses of his Cure power upon returning to Psyren. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | !!Tropes associated with Oboro: |
| 106 | |
| 107 | * TheAce: Though not as hammy as is normally seen, Oboro has the ability to master PSI abilities with almost no effort. |
| 108 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: Most of his greatest feats are from watching/experiencing something, such as how he became capable of using Cure and Rise by observing them. |
| 109 | * {{BFS}}: He gains a massive club [[spoiler:as Odo]]. |
| 110 | * EmergencyTransformation: [[spoiler:Self-inflicted, into a Tavoo]] |
| 111 | * HarmfulHealing: His Biological Ruin, in a nutshell. On a Taboo, it's instant BodyHorror. |
| 112 | * IntimateHealing: Through hugging. |
| 113 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He's got a big ego, and most of his acts are cases of ItAmusedMe. |
| 114 | * LeftForDead: Oboro receives a mortal wound to the chest and then is teleported to a dumping ground for dead Tavoo. |
| 115 | * TheMedic: After he awakens his "Cure" ability. |
| 116 | ** CombatMedic: Unlike the other healers, he fights willingly. |
| 117 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:Oboro joins the W.I.S.E. Organization as Odo in order to help foil their plans.]] |
| 118 | * TeenIdol: This is his occupation before he joins the adventures in Psyren. (Sort of. [[OlderThanHeLooks He's actually 21.]]) |
| 119 | * TookALevelInBadass: After [[spoiler:incorporating multiple Tavoo cores]]. |
| 120 | * TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:After showing off his amazing new powers and scoring a series of flawless victories against Delboro and Caprico, he's promptly took out of commision by Grana.]] |
| 121 | * YouWillBeAssimilated: [[spoiler:How his Harmonious work agaisnt other Tavoo.]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | !Kabuto Kirisaki |
| 124 | [[quoteright:60:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kabuto.jpg]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | -->''"And besides, ain't running away the perfect solution to staying out of trouble? Escaping all the bad stuff is a great way to live! Plus, it would get rid of all the fighting, y'know? That's how I make peace."'' |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Kabuto's intentions for entering Psyren were not as noble as the rest of the Drifters--he's simply in it for the monetary reward for whoever can divulge its secrets. Both his parents are dead, so he lives with his uncle, a journalist who lost a leg while reporting during a war. He arrives at the same time as Oboro, and like him has his PsychicNosebleed in Psyren, and recovers rather quickly. However, his powers don't manifest until the next journey. Opportunistic, cowardly, and more savvy than the rest of the group, Kabuto plays the role of TheSmartGuy. |
| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | !!Tropes associated with Kabuto: |
| 131 | |
| 132 | * CameBackStrong: Doesn't awaken his full PSI powers until he preforms a HeroicSacrifice which he barely survives. |
| 133 | * CasanovaWannabe: Even before he joined the group, he was being chased for hitting on taken women. |
| 134 | * ChivalrousPervert: Not so ''chivalrous'', but he isn't horrible. He also prefers flat-chested girls, like Amamiya and [[spoiler:future Frederica]]. [[spoiler:[[TookALevelInBadass Takes a few levels in chivalry later on]]]]. |
| 135 | * CombatClairvoyance: One of the uses of his power "Menace." He can clearly see danger a few seconds before it happens. |
| 136 | * DistractedByTheSexy: During his first journey in Psyren he spends more time ogling at Amamiya than listening to explanations. |
| 137 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: He gets the PowerGlows variety when he uses his abilities. [[spoiler:The doom part comes in during his fight with Ash.]] |
| 138 | * LovableCoward: He eventually grows a backbone. |
| 139 | * MentalWorld: Kabuto's "Menace" is provided by a creature named Yoyo that is formed within his subconscious. |
| 140 | * NonActionGuy: [[spoiler:Before [[TookALevelInBadass taking several levels in badass]]]]. |
| 141 | * PersonalityPowers: He is a pragmatic, peace-loving "[[TheSoCalledCoward coward]]" with the ability to predict, evade and redirect attacks. Yoyo even describes Kabuto's cowardice or "weakness" as the source of his power. |
| 142 | * PlayfulCatSmile: Is a frequent user of this for humorous purposes, usually whenever he's SuperDeformed. |
| 143 | * RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Yoyo's ability of reshaping and manipulating anything Kabuto considers a deadly threat probably counts as this. One of the greatest powers he has is an ability to take all the damage a person inflicted and to return it to its owner. It causes one guy to explode in a [[LudicrousGibs shower of gore.]]]] |
| 144 | * ReluctantWarrior: He doesn't want to fight, but gets dragged along anyway. [[spoiler:Even after he gets the power to actually fight pretty effectively, he still can´t enjoy it.]] |
| 145 | * SpiderSense: His psychic power "Menace" alerts him of any danger directed towards him. |
| 146 | * SuperSenses: His eyesight is extremely sharp, even without using Rise. |
| 147 | * TookALevelInBadass: After encountering Yoyo and finally getting Rise training from Ian. |
| 148 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Seems to only care about Amamiya, but has risked his life for Ageha on more than one occasion, and is actually quite loyal to him. |
| 149 | |
| 150 | !Nemesis Q (AKA Grigori 07) |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[quoteright:50: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Qprojection.jpg[[labelnote: Nemesis Q's true form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Qphysical.jpg[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 153 | |
| 154 | -->''"...A body... in which to entrust my power, Nemesis... and will... Thus, my time-travelling representative... Program... Nemesis Q."'' |
| 155 | |
| 156 | The mysterious leader of the Drifter movement, Nemesis Q uses pay phones to recruit people to enter Psyren and travel the land in order to find out its secrets and stop it from ever happening. Possesses an incredibly powerful burst ability of Time Travel, though he is too weak to send himself. The Nemesis Q everybody sees is a Psychic Program ordered to send people through time and kill those who try and mention Psyren to non-Drifters. Seems to take a special interest in Ageha. [[spoiler:In the future is located in Kyushu, specifically Okimukurojima in Kagoshima. The only reason she gives this information is because he is close to being discovered. Is actually female, and is rescued from the base where she was contained and is resuscitated at Root.]] |
| 157 | ---- |
| 158 | !!Tropes associated with Nemesis Q: |
| 159 | |
| 160 | * AmbiguousGender: [[spoiler:The woman who did the Psyren survey is in fact Nemesis Q.]] |
| 161 | * BigGood: Kind of, if you come down to it. Even if their methods are twisted. |
| 162 | * BrickJoke: During the interview with Ageha, the operator at one point gets irritated and tells that he's probably still a virgin. [[spoiler:When she's brought in the Root and Ageha is watching her resting, she asks him to "[[DudeShesLikeInAComa stop watching her like that]] " and called him a virgin again.]] |
| 163 | * DeadpanSnarker: [[spoiler:Some of her interactions with Ageha.]] |
| 164 | * DissonantSerenity: Invoked when Q tells Ageha and Amamiya that he "Doesn't give a damn about saving the world" with the warmest smile ever, only to admit that probably Q [[LampshadeHanging "shouldn't have said such thing smiling".]] |
| 165 | * KindHeartedCatLover: Would you believe [[spoiler:she used the miniature version of Nemesis Q (dubbed "Dame Q" by Yoshina's group) to feed the cats living on her island?]] |
| 166 | ** [[spoiler:Considering she lived most of her life in isolation, she doesn't really care about the world until the Drifters actually meet her face-to-face. For her, morality doesn't enter the picture, she just wants to find out the 'truth' about her brother.]] |
| 167 | * NakedFirstImpression: [[spoiler:In her [[PeopleJars People Jar]]]]. |
| 168 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Nemesis isn't exactly a friendly name. |
| 169 | * NoSocialSkills: [[spoiler:Look, she was taken by a nebouls government department and experimented upon her psychic powers when she was a little girl, and spent the rest of her life as a PeopleJars in a forgotten laboratory in Kyushu, what did you expect?]] |
| 170 | * PeopleJars: [[spoiler:She's sealed in one.]] |
| 171 | * ProjectedMan[=/=][[spoiler:SamusIsAGirl: The male persona of Nemesis Q is actually a PSI program created to search out potential Drifters and bring them to Psyren; the person emitting the program is a woman known as #07.]] |
| 172 | * TinMan: [[spoiler:Like most of the Grigori, she apparently doesn't have feelings or has a lot of troubles with emotions (see above in DissonantSerenity) even though she later admits that she went genuinely mad at Ageha during the interview and she grows kinder later on, showing that she still has emotions.]] |
| 173 | * TookALevelInKindness [[spoiler:After meeting the Drifters in person she becomes much more agreeable and pleasant to be around, even though her motivation are still the same.]] |
| 174 | * YouAreNumberSix: Actually, Number 7. |

| 178 | [[WMG:Elmore Wood Residents]] |
| 179 | |
| 180 | Elmore Wood is the estate of the famous and wealthy fortune-teller Elmore Tenjuin. Along with her late husband Kopher, Elmore adopted several children with natural psychic powers who were shunned by society and taught them how to practice control. Elmore and her kids play a major role in every timeline, either forming the first line of defense against the W.I.S.E. or being LaResistance. |

After seeing him dissolve into dust for telling her about Psyren, she offered a reward of 500 million yen to whoever could figure out Psyren.

Upon inspection the plane's engine troubles are found, and the crash never happens. She uses her connections to establish Root, an ElaborateUndergroundBase where the remains of humanity eke out a living. However, she's now so old that even Van's powerful Cure doesn't work on her anymore. Dies during the Root invasion, but not before giving a warning about Mithra.

| 220 | |
| 221 | * ACupAngst: See BerserkButton. |
| 222 | * BerserkButton: Do ''not'' threaten Marie if you don't like 3rd-degree burns. You shouldn't comment on her flat chest either. |
| 223 | * FutureBadass: Like most of the Elmore kids. |
| 224 | * GlassCannon: Her pyrokinesis is extremely destructive and long-ranged, but she seems to be pretty weak in Rise. Her Pyro Queen protects her, but it can be pierced by strong attacks and Frederica suffers pain when it gets damaged. |
| 225 | * LongRangeFighter: She can inflict serious damage on close and medium as well, but her low speed and collateral damage make her more suited for long ranges. |

| 307 | * SimpleYetAwesome: Her ability to essentially do an entire kitchen's worth of chores at once with her powers, while sitting and reading a book, impresses Ageha more than anything he'd seen up to that point, and he's so convinced of its power that he begs to stay with Elmore in order to learn this power. [[spoiler:Marie's programming ends up being ''the'' reason Melchsee's Door becomes controllable and adaptable.]] |

| 393 | * BadassBookworm: Despite having been horrible at sports and generally anything physical, he taught himself karate and can send his son flying in the blink of an eye. |
| 394 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:Nova is an extremely powerful technique that harnesses all three forms of PSI at the same time to convert the user's body into pure psychic power.

| 488 | * YouAreNumberSix: He actually was Number Six in the test facility |
| 489 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Supposedly planned doing this with Mithra and Ouroboros to "save" the earth and recreate it as his ideal new world. |

| 491 | !Grana (AKA Grigori 01) |
| 492 | [[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Grana.jpg]] |
| 493 | |
| 494 | -->''"Bring it on! I, Grana, also known as 'The Asura of the Heavens', accept this challenge by the power invested in me by the Council of Elders!"'' |
| 495 | |
| 496 | Starship Commander No. 1 of the W.I.S.E., Grana is the perpetually bored leader, answering only to the elders. Possesses godlike levels of telekinesis, being able to build massive towers that would take months to construct in under a minute while holding a casual conversation. Has a personal interest in Ageha after his encounter with Dholaki. In the present is 27 years old, making him 37 in Psyren. [[spoiler:Is a byproduct of genetic engineering by Grigori, and not fully human. Destroyed Grigori 16 years before the series started. Due to not being thorough enough, they continued, and made their methods even more brutal. Grana has been lying low for this whole time, planning to just leave Japan altogether. Is stopped by Miroku, who offers him a position in the W.I.S.E.. In the unaltered future it is implied Miroku strong-armed Grana into joining with Junas helping him out. In the current timeline though, Miroku fought him alone and still won, though he had to make his Declaration several months early. Grana, along with Miroku and Caprico, are the only three members of WISE without Illuminas Forges. They had a contingency plan if Mithra betrayed them, and Grana has assisted Miroku with the last of the latter's life force into activating a counter-plan.]] |
| 497 | ---- |
| 498 | !!Tropes associated with Grana: |
| 499 | |
| 500 | * ArtificialHuman: Outright stated by Miroku to be this. |
| 501 | * BadassLongcoat: His standard attire as the No 1 Starship Commander. |
| 502 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: In the first part of the manga he was implied to be the leader of the Starship Commanders and the BigBad responsible for the BadFuture. Cue to Miroku, and he's revealed to be his DragonInChief. |
| 503 | * BecomeARealBoy: As a former Grigori, he just wanted to leave his past behind and mesh with the other people without a care in the world. |
| 504 | * BloodKnight: Normally a rather peaceful guy, he does enjoy a nice combat if he can. |
| 505 | * BoisterousBruiser: Mainly lives for a good fight, but is not nearly as cold and serious as Junas or Uranus |
| 506 | * BoringButPractical: His PSI powers seems to be nothing but simple, plain telekinesis. He's still the strongest member of the W.I.S.E. sans Miroku for a good reason. |
| 507 | * BrilliantButLazy: He can use his Psi powers to build an entire base in 2 minutes, but outside fighting he's incredibly lazy and demotivated. He's even introduced sleeping. |
| 508 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: He sports a more jovial and funny persona in the first part of the manga. After revealing the events surrounding Miroku Amagi and the Grigori, the author changed his personality because he thought that the first one didn't fit well. |
| 509 | * CurbStompBattle: Inflicts a devastating one on [[spoiler:Oboro]], Kyle and Frederica after the death of Nr 3. |
| 510 | * DeathFromAbove: His most powerful attack, Nichirin Tentsui, bombards an enemy with hyper-focused [[LightEmUp beam of sunlight.]] |
| 511 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Joins WISE after Miroku defeats him in battle. |
| 512 | * TheDragon: He's this to Miroku Amagi. |
| 513 | * EyepatchOfPower: Wears one in the future to cover his missing eye. |
| 514 | * EyeScream: Miroku took out his right eye to end the battle between them. |
| 515 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Responsible for the deaths of Yagumo and Kagetora in the first timeline.]] |
| 516 | * PetTheDog: He warns and tries to protect the truck driver who gave him a lift, and even thanks him for the food after his death. |
| 517 | * PhysicalGod: Next to Miroku, the strongest PSI user of the WISE. |
| 518 | * ThePowerOfTheSun: He can extend his telekinesis to sunlight, either by preventing sunlight to reach a certain area or by firing a focused beam of searing sunlight at his target. |
| 519 | * RedBaron: Known as the "Heavenly Asura", which apparently is also the name of his powers. |
| 520 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After killing Mithra, he helps Miroku in his final sacrifice to save the world.]] |
| 521 | * TinMan: Miroku claims that he's this, due to being a lab-created guinea pig. He... begs to differ: |
| 522 | -->[[spoiler:''"So you're saying that having proper feelings is bad? I'm gonna... I'M GONNA GET MY LIFE BACK!! AND I'LL KICK THE ASS OF ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO INTERFERE!!!!"'']] |
| 523 | * TheWorfEffect - Grana is easily one of the most powerful people in the series, but has been beaten by Miroku and temporarily frozen by Grigori 03, mainly to show how serious they are. |
| 524 | * YouAreNumberSix: He's the first Grigori ever, and as such he's number 1. |
| 525 | |

| 529 | -->''I like warriors. The stronger they are, the more I want to mince them to pieces.'' |
| 530 | |
| 531 | Starship Commander No. 2 of the W.I.S.E., Junas is never seen that far from Grana. Uses sword-related PSI, and was one of the two who accompanied Amagi Miroku at the Day of Revolution. Has an intense disliking of Dholaki, wishing he had died during his first encounter against the Drifters. Has been charged with searching out and destroying the Root organization, and in the present is assigned with destroying key links to Miroku's past. Was a Grigori research subject alongside Miroku and Q, and likely helped Miroku break out a year before the series start, hence his TheDragon tendencies. [[spoiler:Survives up until the end of Miroku's Rebirth, but has his core forcibly deactivated by Quat Nevas. However, he's human enough that he can survive without it still.]] |
| 532 | ---- |
| 533 | !!Tropes associated with Junas: |
| 534 | |
| 535 | * AxCrazy: While undercover, he smirks and goes for his pocket knife when one of the other workers tries to [[BullyingADragon pick a fight with hm]], only to look sorely disappointed when his colleague stops him. |
| 536 | * BloodKnight: See his quote above to know why he qualifies for this trope. |
| 537 | * TheDragon: To Grana and, by extention, to Miroku. |
| 538 | * EnergyWeapon: His main power, Kamikiri, can manifest as swords made of teal energy. |
| 539 | * HotBlade: His Ashurakai attack is a searing, invisible blade of PSI that burns everything it hits. |
| 540 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: with Riko/Caprico. |
| 541 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: His most preferred form is a energy katana of varying size. Sometimes he can summon a whole formation of levitating swords that explode in a rain of shrapnels at the minimum touch. |
| 542 | * KickTheDog: His brutal murder of the Elmore kids in the revised 12/2 tape, killing orphanage volunteers for no particular reason except they were there, and annihilating [[spoiler:Neo Amakusa]]. |
| 543 | * MoralityPet: The only person around which he showed a softer side so far is Riko. |
| 544 | * TheRival: In the second timeline, he ends up being one to [[spoiler:Kagetora.]] |
| 545 | * TheStoic: He kept this personality since he was a test subject. |
| 546 | * StormOfBlades: His PSI power, Kamikiri, mostly involves energy swords which he can manipulate in surprising ways. |
| 547 | * SwordBeam: His Bishamon Tsubute (lit. Throwing Stone) attack shoots one from his knife. |
| 548 | * YouAreNumberSix: Five, but who's counting? |

| 552 | |
| 553 | -->''"...Is that an order? Is a 5th-ranked commander like you giving ME an order?"'' |
| 554 | |
| 555 | Starship Commander No. 3 of the W.I.S.E. and the main researcher on PSI. As a result, he gets the best toys in regards to powers, namely teleportation. First seen rescuing Dholaki after an encounter with the Drifters, eventually is charged by Grana to assist Dholaki in capturing Ageha and turning him into a Tavoo. [[spoiler:Nearly killed Hiryuu and Oboro, and is stopped by Fredrica and Shao, barely escaping with his life. In the present, is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent with a girlfriend. That's all that is known of him besides the fact he is probably a born psychicer.]] |
| 556 | |
| 557 | In the most recent timeline, Shiner [[spoiler:is demoted to Starship Commander No. 4. Grigori 03, AKA Uranus, replaces him.]] |
| 558 | ---- |
| 559 | !! Tropes associated with Shiner: |
| 560 | |
| 561 | * AffablyEvil: He's surprisingly polite, civil and kind, even to his enemies. |
| 562 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: He sums up his actions as such. |
| 563 | --> '''Shiner:''' "That's nice and all, but hahaha... I don't know who Tatsuo is." |
| 564 | * CombatPragmatist: Averts TalkingIsAFreeAction and since he isn't much of a fighter, he relies on TeleportSpam or teleporting his opponents to inconvenient places (like the stratosphere!). |
| 565 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:In the present he was an ordinary, nameless high-schooler, but then he saw Miroku's announcement and the rest is history.]] |
| 566 | * IfIWantedYouDead: He allows the party to escape their first meeting, instead taking Dholaki to get healed and letting him take the blame. |
| 567 | * MinoredInAsskicking: He's a member of a PSI-researching team. |
| 568 | * OnlySaneMan: In the first timeline, among the Starship Commanders, along perhaps with Junas. |
| 569 | * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: [[spoiler:In the present.]] |
| 570 | * TakingYouWithMe: His ultimate attack warps ''the entire time-space'' in the surrounding area to another dimension, destroying everything and everyone inside.

| 571 | * TeleportSpam: How he fights. |
| 572 | * SoreLoser: After barely escaping with his life against Frederica, he murders the Taboo who tried to assist him, claiming that the others mustn't know of his defeat. [[spoiler:When Amamiya is about to beat him, he tries to wipe out everyone around him with his ultimate attack.]] |
| 573 | * VillainTeleportation: The sole villain who can teleport, and a right pain in the ass. |
| 574 | |
| 575 | !Caprico (Birth name Riko Hachiboshi) |

| 577 | |
| 578 | -->''"Onii-chan, are you a bad person?"'' |
| 579 | |
| 580 | Starship Commander No. 4, Caprico seems out of place compared to the other W.I.S.E.. She is responsible for constructing and researching the Tavoo minions. Received the prominent scar on her forehead when she was four after falling off of a cliff, the impact awakening her powers. In the present resides at Harukaze orphanage. The directors of the orphanage were afraid of her power, taking her sketchbook away to stop her from using her abilities, or locking her up for using them. Is a crucial piece to Miroku's plans, due to her PSI power "Creator". |
| 581 | |
| 582 | In the most recent timeline, Caprico is [[spoiler:demoted to Starship Commander No. 6, being replaced by Shiner and having the Number 5 slot being filled by Vigo.]] |
| 583 | ---- |
| 584 | !!Tropes associated with Caprico: |
| 585 | |
| 586 | * ArtInitiatesLife: How her Creation power worked when she was a child. |
| 587 | * CameBackStrong: Says that after she fell off a cliff as a child and hit her head she got her PSI powers. Unknown how close to death she was, but trauma definitely awakened her powers. |
| 588 | * CloudCuckoolander: Justified, both because of her age and of her possible brain trauma. |
| 589 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: The scar on her forehead is her most prominent feature. However, she doesn't seem to be as evil as the rest of the group. It is later revealed that [[spoiler:she got the scar when she fell off a cliff, which awakened her powers]]. |
| 590 | * GoThroughMe: [[spoiler:Pulls this on Kagetora to protect Junas.]] |
| 591 | * LoveMartyr: For Junas, whom she declared the most important person for her. |
| 592 | * MadArtist: Not overly malicious, but she likes to draw disturbing things and can bring them to life. |
| 593 | * MadScientist: In her first appearence, she dives out of a dissected Tavoo with his core and starts wondering about how could it grow that large and why. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness This contrast a lot her later characterization.]] |
| 594 | * MookMaker: She's the one behind the mass-production of Tavoos for the W.I.S.E. |
| 595 | * PrecociousCrush: On Junas, back when he took her away from the orphanage. |
| 596 | * ScarsAreForever: The massive, cross-shaped scar on her forehead. |

| 603 | |
| 604 | Starship Commander No. 5 of the W.I.S.E., Dholaki was the one interacted with the Drifters the most early in the series [[spoiler:before his death]]. Responsible for patrolling the borders of Psyren for survivors, Dholaki prefers brute force in combat. Was one of the two accompanying Amagi Miroku on the Day of Revolution. Facing demotion after being defeated by Ageha's Melcheese's Lance attack. In the present behaves just like he does in the future, getting into fights and beating the crap out of people. |
| 605 | ---- |
| 606 | !!Tropes associated with Dholaki: |
| 607 | |
| 608 | * AnArmAndALeg: Loses an arm against Ageha during their first meeting. |
| 609 | * BadBoss: Blows up one of his subordinates after finding out that they planted a core in Tatsuo before telling him. |
| 610 | * TheBrute: He even makes a great speech about why he's this way. |
| 611 | * ChekhovsGunman: He makes appearances in Amamiya's probe into Tatsuo's past, in Matsuri's flashback of the siren towers, and in the 12/2 video before making his first actual appearance. |
| 612 | * DeadlyUpgrade: [[spoiler:Dholaki implanted a second Illuminas Core in himself, guaranteeing rejection and a .01% chance he'd survive a year.]] |
| 613 | * ItsPersonal: Why he accompanied Shiner to capture Ageha. |
| 614 | * MadBomber: When really angry, he goes this route with his power. |
| 615 | * MundaneUtility: In the present, he's seen using his [[HavingABlast PSI powers]] to light his cigarette. |
| 616 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: To Ageha, after his first defeat. |
| 617 | * SmartBall: After seemingly buying Ageha and Hiryuu's explanation for their presence, he's quick to blow a hole in their story by pointing out how surprised they are to hear that the year is 2018 and how they clothes are too clean to be a survivor's clothes. |
| 618 | * StuffBlowingUp: His Explosia power causes explosions. Shifting it into Starship Mode gives it a [[DeathInAllDirections wider]] [[BeamSpam range]]. |
| 619 | * AsYouKnow: Invoked InUniverse, he casually mentions the current year they're to the Psyren Drifters, confirming that they were lying and weren't survivors as they claimed. |

| 622 | [[quoteright:263:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Grigori_03.jpg]] |
| 623 | |
| 624 | Unlike Grana and the others, 03 had not given himself an actual name. He was an assassin sent by Grigori to kill Grana, who spared him after the battle. Now he's on the run as well. Has been following Grana ever since that battle, and picked up his own stalker named Eiji Kise. Has chosen to follow Miroku so that he can become as powerful. Going with PersonalityPowers, Uranus is very cold and abrasive towards his colleagues. Has a dislike of both Junas and Grana. |
| 625 | |
| 626 | Once he enters the timeline, 03, now known as Uranus, [[spoiler:replaces Shiner as Starship Commander No. 3. He is killed by Kyle and Fredrica when the two begin their invasion of the W.I.S.E. HQ]] |
| 627 | ---- |

| 629 | |
| 630 | * AnIcePerson: His Psi powers, Deep Freeze, allows him to manipulate ice, freeze people and generate ice weaponry. |
| 631 | * BerserkButton: Evidently doesn't like being told he's from Ponkotsu. Also, Grana in general, especially when Grana refers to him as "buddy" |
| 632 | * BloodKnight: He even tells Grana to stay out of it when fighting Kyle and Frederica, even when [[HonorBeforeReason he's at a disadvantage.]] |
| 633 | * {{Expy}}: His looks, size and powerset bear an incredibly resemblance to [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Toshiro Hitsugaya]]. At least the cover shows that he has orange hair, not white. |
| 634 | * GatheringSteam: As Kyle found out the hard way, the longer he fights, the more dangerous he becomes, since he's not affected by the cold he exudes and can generate more and more. |
| 635 | * GunsAkimbo: Ice guns even, capable of freezing whatever he shoots at. |
| 636 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: The guy wastes no time into moving in for the kill when it comes at fighting. |
| 637 | * NoodleIncident: Grana mentioned that he fough him several times, eventually persuading him to quit being an assassin. |
| 638 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: To Grana, his former assassination target. |
| 639 | * TheStoic: He's kinda like Junas in this regard, only... [[{{Pun}} even colder if possible.]] |
| 640 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: His main accessory, which hides his mouth most of the time. |
| 641 | * SpontaneousWeaponCreation: He can materialize ice guns and a double-ended lance in combat, as well as a pair of skates to run through the ice trails he makes. |

| 646 | |
| 647 | -->''"The ultimate creation... comes from ingenious destruction."'' |
| 648 | |
| 649 | The AxCrazy serial killer Psycher who's wanted for some very brutal murders. He started following Grigori 03 around, who in turn started following Grana. Considers himself a genius. Is obviously deranged, and has a stuttering problem. Something about Miroku made him not kill him, despite having a tanto to his neck and being completely open. Is following Miroku in order to see "the perfect destruction". Also, because he's better looking than Eiji. His power is called Floor Diver, which lets him crawl into the ground and make his limbs appear from any surface. Among the W.I.S.E., his new name is Vigo. [[spoiler:Infiltrates Root, but has the bad luck to encounter first Marie, then Shao. Nearly kills the latter, but his powers are rendered null and he's given a NeckSnap for his troubles. However, later on it can be seen that he still lives. He captures Marie, wanting to turn her into a statue. She refuses to be with him, so he decides to kill her. Marie asks him a few questions about family and if he had something to protect, and Mithra decides to jack her body after her current is running dry. Vigo steps in to save her, and has his forge ripped out by Mithra, killing him.]] |

| 651 | In the W.I.S.E. hierarchy has replaced Dholaki as Starship Commander No. 5 |
| 652 | ---- |
| 653 | !!Tropes associated with Eiji: |
| 654 | |
| 655 | * AnimalMotifs: A deep sea Fish, according to both Shao and the cover of volume 13. Given his powers and abhorrent personality... |
| 656 | * AxCrazy: Oh good Lord yes. Why do you think he asked to go scouting the base first? And why do you think Junas told him [[GenreSavvy not to waste too much time killing people while down there?]] |
| 657 | * CreepilyLongArms: They're long and gangly enough in his base form, but he can make them even longer with his powers. |
| 658 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Still attacks Mithra with all he's got as she's literally tearing him apart one pieces at the time.]] |
| 659 | * DualWielding: He uses two long knives in tandem. |
| 660 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: He can inflict this on his victims with his powers, forcefully removing their bones or organs from their body or [[BuriedAlive dragging them inside concrete to turn them into statues]]. [[spoiler:He's on the receiving end when Mithra dismantles his body and Core with her powers.]] |
| 661 | * AGodAmI: Has the same mindset as Miroku in this respect. |
| 662 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Kidnaps Marie and takes her in his quarters. She awekens in a bed, surrounded by AntiMagic pillars with the creep right in front of her. [[spoiler:Subverted in that, while he tries to rape her, he doesn't go all the way through.]] |
| 663 | * HeelFaceTurn: Somewhat lampshaded by Vigo himself. |
| 664 | * LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Thanks to Marie being the first person who shows some concern for him.]] |
| 665 | * MadArtist: This, oh so much. Including a collection of concrete statues which are actually people subjected to his Diver. |
| 666 | * NighInvulnerable: His PSI power allows him to phase through physical attacks and "merge" with the surrounding enviroment, which allows him to safely hide his vital organs in the ground out of enemy reach. |
| 667 | * NotQuiteDead: Survives a NeckSnap and crushed heart by secretly sending his vital organs deep underground. He still complains that his neck hurts a lot. |
| 668 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Sacrifices himself to save Marie, apparently because she was "his" prey, but actually because she showed him concern despite her current predicament.]] |
| 669 | * SpeechImpediment: Stutters a lot |
| 670 | * SerialKiller: This is what Eiji was in the present, including a shot of his lair where his victims were left covered in concrete. |
| 671 | * StalkerWithACrush: Becomes infatuated with Marie the istant he sets his eyes on her and proceeds to hunt her down. |

| 675 | |
| 676 | The most enigmatic figure in Psyren now that we know more about Nemesis Q and Amagi Miroku. At first even her gender was an unknown, let alone her name. She appears in chapter 108, when Miroku refers to her as a "friend". She has been acting as his adviser, knowing that Grana, Shiner, and Dholaki would eventually join up with Miroku, and keeping him a step ahead of the game. She is usually floating, and surrounded by [[HitodamaLight flames symbolic of souls]]. Elmore alluded to her as a serious threat [[spoiler:before her death in the future. Reveals to Marie in Chapter 131 that she isn't human. Miroku says she used to be human before becoming possessed by Ouroborous]]. |

| 683 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:As Quat Nevas' DragonInChief and ManBehindTheMan to Miroku Amagi, she's this by default.]] |
| 684 | * BodySnatcher: [[spoiler:The presence of Quat Nevas' core inside her is slowly rotting her body, forcing her to transfer her conscience in another body. She chooses Marie's but is interrupted before she can do so.]] |

| 698 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's uncertain if her name is Misura, or romanized as Mithra. |

The five members are Delboro, Barry, Odo, Ash, and Nekka.

He also has the ability to manipulate shadows as a weapon, but it's so slow we have yet to see what it does when it actually hit.He says that most of his efforts are to care for his brother Saburo, who he abuses repeatedly. |

| 1000 | A group of humans who are out of sight of the W.I.S.E.. Established by Usui, who used his Psyren trips to figure out the ideal location and set supplies there. Usui is worshiped as a god and reincarnation of the Emperor. He has a very feudal, ordered system, enforced by his personal minions who can use PSI. After his unsuccessful attack on Mukurojima and Nemesis Q, Usui's power is usurped, and he's reduced to a puppet leader and figurehead. [[spoiler:Amakusa as a whole is utterly destroyed by Junas, who knew where the place was the whole time.]] |

Obviously this fails, and they are never heard from again [[spoiler:until chapter 72 where it turns out Usui and Miyake are both still alive and about to track down and kill the woman behind Nemesis Q. Usui did manage to grab a card eventually, and used the knowledge of Psyren to figure out where it would be safe to establish a brutal feudal new world order, claiming to be the reincarnation of the Emperor and having the power to predict the future. When his card points ran out or he was being called at an inconvenient time, he would use his power to short it out and re-enter by grabbing another unactivated card and rendering it's intended owner braindead, much to Q's annoyance. Is mercilessly crushed and reduced to begging for mercy by Marie after he tries to use his mind-wipe attack on Sakurako.]] |
