People of Falaina - Residents

Chakuro

Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae (Japanese), Johnny Yong Bosch (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A clumsy 14-year-old boy, who's also the archivist of the Mud Whale.

Action Survivor: Aside from his brief stint during the first attack, he doesn't do much in the way of direct fighting. Nevertheless, he's always there whenever the others head into danger.
All-Loving Hero: He cares deeply about everyone—including people he's never even met—and very much believes that not all people are bad, even after all the cruelty in the world he ends up witnessing.
Born-Again Immortality: Chakuro is the current incarnation of "The Archivist", someone who is repeatedly reincarnated into the world to create records of the people around him.
Break the Cutie: Separated from his childhood friend so brutally and suddenly that it takes him a while to compute what just happened.
Foregone Conclusion: A minor example. A brief flash-forward into the future confirms his (and Kikujin's) survival, but not much else.
Friend to All Living Things: He quickly takes on Ham as a Team Pet, whereas everyone else typically assumes that Ham's food.
The Heart: Neri lampshades this, noting that although it may not seem like Chakuro can do much, he's the heart that ties their people together.
Heroic BSoD: He goes through a brief depression at the beginning of the series, both in part due to Sami's death and due to realizing how cruel the world really is. He's brought back when he realizes that he still has a role to play, and that the island is about to sink soon and that he has to stop it.
I Let Gwen Stacy Die: He feels as though he failed to protect Sami, who died right in front of him.
Kiddie Kid: Sort of. He's not especially immature for his age, but he's hopeless enough that Tobi's kid siblings are looking after him more than the other way around.
Living Emotional Crutch: He tends to act as an emotional support for his friends, particularly for Ouni after Nibi's death.
Morality Pet: The Emperor doesn't care at all for human life, but he's oddly fond of Chakuro because the latter was his friend in a past life.
Mr. Exposition: Being a compulsive archivist, his writings serve as voiceover narration to explain various aspects of life on the Mud Whale or how Thymia works − or just the general feelings of the island's inhabitants.
Narrator: The series is supposedly based on Chakuro's notes and diary entries.
Nice Guy: He's incredibly nice.
Power Incontinence: He has very little control of his thymia, causing people to jokingly call him "the destructor". He also can't refrain himself from writing down everything he sees, to compulsive disorder levels. Both are why the job of "archivist" was created specially for him.
Prone to Tears: Despite the people of the Mud Whale being forbidden from crying, Chakuro bursts into tears at funerals and other sad occasions.
Psychometry: He can see memories by coming into contact with the Sea of Sand or some special objects in certain places.
Supporting Protagonist: Though he narrates the story and helps move it along in his own way, it's ultimately Lykos, Suou, and especially Ouni that the series is truly about.
Sympathy for the Devil: He sympathizes with Orca's very tragic past and offers him to come to the Mud Whale as an ally, even though he can't ever completely forgive him for being behind the attack that killed Sami.
They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: He struggles this when he sees Orca's face for the first time. Not only because of his resemblance to Lykos, but because as Chakuro thinks, it would be so much better if Orca looked like the monster Chakuro wants him to be, as he'd feel less guilty about hating him.
Tragic Keepsake: Keeps one of Sami's ribbons after her death.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Turns out one of his past lives was responsible for Sukia deciding to bring about the Kataklysmós. Sukia saw how Chakuro's past incarnation lost his happiness because his home was destroyed by the first inhabitants of Falaina, so he decided to create a world free of all suffering and conflict. He realized the only way to make this possible is by merging all lifeforms into a single perfect being.

Lykos

Voiced by: Manaka Iwami (Japanese), Melissa Fahn (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rikosu_all.png

A mysterious girl found by Chakuro on a drifting island. She's the sister of a general in the army of a great empire where people grow up and live without emotions.

Babies Ever After: At the end of the manga, Lykos marries Ro and has a daughter with him.
Big Brother Worship: Her brother used to be the center of her world. The events of the series swiftly make him a Broken Pedestal for her.
Big Damn Heroes: For Chakuro during the first attack.
Child Soldier: Was enrolled into a military academy at the age of seven, and was an active soldier at fourteen.
Defector from Decadence: She ultimately refuses to return to the Empire, having realized the value of emotions and that the Mud Whale doesn't deserve to be slaughtered, unlike what she was taught.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Being taken away from the Nous Lykos causes her emotions to resurface, as she quickly warms up to the Falainians.
Despair Event Horizon: She hasn't crossed it, but Orca intended for her to, by killing the people of the Mud Whale that she'd grown to love. In the process, her grief was meant to create another Daimonas.
Due to the Dead: The first sign that she isn't such a bad person after all is the fact that she personally buried her fallen comrades, even if the people of the Mud Whale find it a bit eerie that she apparently felt nothing over this.
Emotionless Girl: At least at first, due to giving her emotions to her Nous. She describes growing back emotions as "painful" at first.
Godiva Hair: Her hair covers her breasts in her bath scenes.
Little Miss Badass: During the first attack, she's the only one besides Ouni who honestly does anything effective against the Empire forces.
Ms. Exposition: Not to Chakuro's extent, but she knows more about the island and the mysteries of how it functions than most of the cast, and thus she's inevitably the one to explain them most of the time.
Mysterious Waif: Downplayed. She's really only mysterious because the people of the Mud Whale know next to nothing about the outside world, and not because she herself is hugely important to the world, but she certainly comes off this way to the cast at first.
- This comes back to bite her when the twins point out that all of the island's misfortune started after she showed up (not false, strictly speaking) and suggest that she's been a spy from the very beginning (actually false). Knowing that her presence will be a weapon they can use, she chooses to leave the island in secret.
The Not-Love Interest: To Chakuro. The plot is kickstarted by their meeting and their friendship plays a big part in Lykos' Character Development as she grows out of being an Emotionless Girl. However, their relationship never turns romantic throughout the series and Lykos eventually ends up with Ro.
"Not So Different" Remark: She can't bring herself to kill Orca's Insect Cage, as she sees herself in them and knows that they aren't evil—just unaware that there's more to the world than killing.
Safety in Indifference: At the very beginning, the idea of regaining her emotions terrifies her.
Sole Survivor: Of the Lykos ship.
Starting a New Life: After realizing that the people of Mud Whale aren't "sinners" who deserve to be wiped out, she chooses to fight on their behalf and is pretty much exiled by her brother to it.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She's a fairly aloof girl most of the time, but can also be rather sweet when she wants to be.
Unwitting Pawn: Orca's. While there's obviously a reason he left her behind on the Mud Whale, no one knows what it is.
What You Are in the Dark: In the final battle, despite all the death Liontari has caused for the people of the Mud Whale, Lykos ultimately chooses to spare him and accept him as a friend because she has realized Liontari should have the right to join her paradise as well.
You Are Number 6: Before she's given the name Lykos on the Mud Whale, she was only known as Number 32 of the Lykos, referring to the ship name. After her brother abandons her, he labels her as "Sample no. 4 of the Skylos".
You Can't Go Home Again: For all intents and purposes, she's been exiled to the Mud Whale.

Sami

Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto (Japanese), Christine Marie Cabanos (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A childhood friend of Chakuro and the younger sister of Suou.

Childhood Friend Romance: Sami and Chakuro grew up together. She has a big crush on him and he likes her back. If she hadn't died, she would almost certainly have grown up to marry Chakuro, which they both acknowledge.
Dead Star Walking: Voiced by a veteran seiyuu, looks initially important and dies two episodes in.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: She's shot by the Empire soldiers. Chakuro picks her up and holds her in his arms, only to realize she's already dead.
Dies Wide Open: She is killed with her eyes open Chakuro close her eyes off screen.
Disposable Woman: She's killed very early into the plot, during the Empire's first attack on Falaina. Her death becomes a main motivator for her childhood love interest Chakuro and older brother Suou to protect their people from the Empire.
Dying Declaration of Love: Or in her case, Post-Mortem Declaration of Love. As a ghost, she admits her feelings to Chakuro.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's a genuinely kind and sweet girl with blonde hair.
It Is Not Your Time: Chakuro begs Sami's ghost to let him join her in death, but she tells him he must live because there's something he still has to do.
Last Kiss: After her death, her spirit kisses Chakuro before passing on.
Sacrificial Lamb: She's killed by Empire forces at the end of chapter 4/episode 2.
Satellite Love Interest: Sami is set up as Chakuro's childhood friend with a crush on him, and she dies too early to get any deeper characterization.
Signature Headgear: She wears ribbons on each side of her head. Chakuro and her brother keep them to remember after her death.
Taking the Bullet: Right before the guns fire, she subtly positions herself in front of Chakuro, whether meaninglessly or subconsciously, and she dies while he doesn't.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: She's a kindhearted girl with a cute crush on Chakuro, with her death at hands of the Empire serving to make Chakuro realize how cruel the world he lives in is.
Twice Shy: It's heavily implied that her relationship to Chakuro is something like this; while they both like each other, they're too shy to make anything of it. They only admitted their feelings for each other until after Sami was killed and her spirit came to say goodbye.
We Hardly Knew Ye: She dies in chapter 4/episode 2.

Nezu and Ro

Nezu: Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura (Japanese), Ben Pronsky (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Ro: Voiced by: Shinsuke Sugawara (Japanese), Jason Palmer (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nezuro.png

Left: Nezu, Right: Ro

Friends of Chakuro and engineer partners.

Both

Gadgeteer Genius: Not that their inventions seem to see much use, but they've got a lot of them.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: They spend literally almost all their time together.
Non-Action Guy: They're thymia users, but are self-admittedly not too good at fighting. In the manga, though, they do end up subverting it, as we see them participate in defending the Mud Whale during the Skylos attack (albeit crudely).

Nezu

Cannot Talk to Women: Nezu gets nervous when talking to girls, making it awkward for him when he realizes his idolized "Master Yano" is a girl.
Giver of Lame Names: With much fanfare, Nezu names his and Ro's autonomous sand-throwing machine... the Autonomous Sand-Throwing Machine.
Hidden Depths: Surprisingly for a fairly simple-minded character who'd mostly been presented as comic relief, Nezu wonders while preparing for the second attack if, had they been ready for war before, they could've saved Sami, who was like a little sister.
Sadistic Choice: The twins gave Nezu one: reveal what he and the others learned about Ouni, or they'll go after Ro instead. To rub salt into the wound, they point out that it should be no contest, between Nezu's lifelong partner and a relative stranger whom Nezu knows mostly as a troublemaker—but Nezu is evidently still torn.

Ro

Babies Ever After: He ends up fathering a daughter with Lykos.
Blind Without 'Em: It's a bit of a Running Gag during the bathing chapter, as Ro is unable to see anything going on without his glasses on.
Determinator: A stoic version, but Ro, as Nezu observes, has an iron will and won't even consider the possibility of dying during the attack. Or, similarly, being left behind when his mother is one of the Unmarked hostages.
Parents in Distress: Rescuing his mother when she's taken hostage like many other Unmarked motivates Ro to join the rescue attempt.
Stoic Spectacles: Bespectacled Ro isn't very expressive. Lampshaded when, after even Ouni and Lykos are seen laughing, Nezu and Urumi promptly decide that it's Ro's turn now.
What the Hell, Hero?: Due to Nezu's refusal to speak on the details of the Sadistic Choice the twins forced him through, Ro is left to believe that Nezu sold Ouni out for their inventions. He's understandably furious with Nezu for it, unaware that Nezu actually sold Ouni out for Ro's sake.

Ginshu

Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu (Japanese), Reba Buhr (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ginsyu_all.png

A cheerful member of the Mud Whale's Self-Defense Force.

Anime Chinese Girl: She wears Chinese-themed clothes, her hairstyle resembles odango hair buns and her weapon is a Martial Arts Staff.
Cool Big Sis: At least self-proclaimed towards Chakuro. She's very protective of the boy.
Genki Girl: She's always full of energy.
Never Learned to Read: She can't read, which makes her hilariously useless when the gang tries to investigate via reading journals.
The Nicknamer: She likes giving people nicknames. For example, she refers to Chakuro as Chakki.
Perky Female Minion: A bit of one to Shuan. She has no problems dealing with his bleak outlook on life and is happy to counter it with endless optimism.
Plucky Girl: She retains her optimism despite the brutal attack on the Mud Whale in episode 3 and tries her best the cheer Chakuro up.
Talking Down the Suicidal: When most of the Skylos assault forces are killed, Urumi decides to stay behind on the sinking Skylos and die with them. Thankfully, Ginshu snaps her out of it.
You Are in Command Now: Shuan leaves the SDF once they reach Amonlogia and appoints Ginshu as the new captain in his stead—at which point she's abruptly thrown into a situation she doesn't know how to handle as chaos erupts once news of hostages arrives.

Masoh

Voiced by: Yasuaki Takumi (Japanese), Tony Azzolino (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/masoo_1.png

One of the oldest Marked in the Mud Whale.

Almighty Janitor: He's not part of the defense force, but is skilled enough to be asked to join, which he refused.
Childhood Friends: He has been good friends with Kuchiba from a young age.
Everyone Can See It: His crush on Shinono is noticeable to everyone, including Shinono herself.
Friend to All Children: Says outright that he likes taking care of kids, and is a good friend to the rest of the cast, who are primarily made up of children.
Good Is Not Soft: As the conflict goes on, he resolves himself to be ruthless so that others like Kuchiba won't have to live with the burden.
In Vino Veritas: Drinking alcohol turns him into an overly emotional crybaby.
Mayfly–December Romance: He's a Marked and is in love with Shinono, an Unmarked woman. She does like him, but refrains from returning his feelings because she already suffered the pain of outliving her Marked husband.
Outliving One's Offspring: His wife and child died in a sand accident.
Sacrificial Lion: He's the first major character to die due to reaching the end of his lifespan shortly before the Mud Whale reaches Amonlogia.
Spirit Advisor: After his death, Neri brings his spirit back to help pull Ouni out of his funk.
Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Kuchiba constantly bicker, but ultimately get along.
Would Hurt a Child: When Kuchiba hesitates to kill a Child Soldier from the empire, Masoh finishes the job.
Your Days Are Numbered: 28 at the start of the series, and as such he's at the limit of his short life.

Tobi

Voiced by: Makoto Furukawa (Japanese), Brian Beacock (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A Marked. Chakuro lives with him and his many siblings.

Big Brother Instinct: During the initial attack, if he hadn't been physically held back, he would've jumped right into the fray to protect his siblings.
Nice Guy: Nagging to Chakuro aside (and even then, Tobi still cares about him at heart), he's consistently friendly and helpful to everyone.
Promotion to Parent: He takes care of his three younger siblings. Chakuro lives with him in return for helping to look after them.

Shuan

Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (Japanese), Doug Erholtz (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/syuan_all.png

The strongest member of the Mud Whale's Self-Defense Force. He is not far from the end of his Marked life.

Adaptational Heroism: Mildly. The end of the anime has him civil, if even a tad encouraging to Ouni. In the manga equivalent, he was actually trying to Break Them by Talking. (On the other hand, in the anime, it's implied he was about to destroy Nibi and Ouni's childhood play area and he threatens Kicha, so he's still a jerk.)
Big Damn Heroes: Here and there. He eventually admits to Ouni that he actually arrives on the scene early and waits for a good time to make his entrance, and even seems a little surprised that Ouni doesn't do the same.
Blindfolded Vision: As the Emperor's brainwashed puppet, Shuan wears a blindfold and it doesn't get in the way of him fighting since he claims he no longer needs his eyes after gaining the ability to "feel" the world.
Brainwashed and Crazy: After he got absorbed by a Nous-created monster, Shuan was captured by the Empire and the Emperor used him as a test subject in an experiment to make a prototype of the "perfect lifeform" he aims to create. As a result, Shuan had all of his emotions and memories erased by a Nous, leaving him as a mindless puppet who doesn't hesitate to attack Ouni when they meet again.
Break Them by Talking: He tries to do this on Ouni regarding how as a Daimonas, he'll be doomed to a life of solitude, with mixed results.
Broken Bird: Male example. He's extremely bitter and no longer feels alive due to being a failed attempt at creating a Daimonas.
Byronic Hero: He's a cynical, moody and emotionally distant man with a lot of issues. Despite his conflictive personality, he's ultimately a good person who fights to protect the people of the Mud Whale, to the point of risking his life for it multiple times.
Cynical Mentor: In a twisted way, he acts as a mentor of sorts to Ouni, whom he sees as naively clinging to an impossible dream of happiness because he knows Daimonas can't survive outside the Mud Whale for a long time.
Death Seeker: Initially, he's all for the Elders committing a forced mass Murder-Suicide with the Mud Whale's entire population because he's tired of living only to wait for an early death. He later realizes that he still wants to live.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: He lost sight of his raison d'etre long ago. It's also why he softens up as time goes on, because eventually, all that's left to his existence is to protect the Mud Whale.
Eyepatch of Power: Underlines his badassery, while hiding a seemingly disabled and rotten right eye. It also saves his eyesight when Duke Dachtlya, while trying to blind him, only cuts his visible eye. It turns out that he can still see through his hidden eye, though not well, and afterwards he switches which side he wears the eyepatch on.
Eyes Always Closed: His good eye always looks closed.
Eye Scream: The Duke of Amonlogia slashes his left eye to seal off his Thymia.
Inhuman Eye Concealers: His eyepatch hides his disturbing-looking right eye.
Jade-Colored Glasses: Condemned to live a short life of a tiny island with no hope of a more fulfilling life in sight, he actually welcomes the Elders' mass suicide plan with open arms. And more generally, he acts pretty cold and heartless most of the time.
Loss of Identity: He felt he completely lost contact with his sense of identity and emotions after the failed attempt to turn him into a Daimonas.
Mark of the Supernatural: His red, odd-looking right eye was originally normal until he was used as a test subject to create an artificial Daimonas and the life force absorbed by Falaina got inside him through his eye.
Not So Stoic: He appears unflappable, but after his wife commits suicide, and because of him, it's clear that he breaks down in his own way as he slices at grass and starts crying—the latter of which he's incredulous at.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: He's the strongest member of the Mud Whale's self-defense force, and also its leader.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: During his fight with Ouni, his eyepatch is knocked off, revealing his hidden eye, whose sclera is dyed red.
Stepford Smiler: Always has a cunning smile on his face, but couldn't be any less happy with his life.
Took a Level in Kindness: He's less embittered after the island reaches Amonlogia, having realized that he actually does still want to live after all. And also, most likely, because their situation is so awful that even he can't bring himself to act like a Jerkass, though he denies any altruistic motivation behind his actions.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As seen in flashbacks, he used to be a good and kind boy who loved his mother and wanted to help her. Then he was used in an (apparently) failed experiment to create a Daimonas. Having lost his sense of sense, he grew emotionally distant and became the man with issues he is today.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: He agreed to be a test subject in the experiment to create a Daimonas because he was worried about his mother being haunted by prophetic nightmares and wanted to do something that would relieve her of her pain.
Wild Card: On one hand, he imprisons Suou when the latter protests the Elders' orders to sink the Mud Whale. On the other hand, he doesn't stop Chakuro and his friends from releasing him.
Your Days Are Numbered: He's likely to die in the near future and knows it.

Urumi

Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa (Japanese)

A Marked girl who befriends Lykos.

Break the Cutie: She's still grieving over friends who died during the first attack, and then she participates in the Skylos infiltration mission... and ends up as one of the only survivors, which breaks her all the more.
Lovable Alpha Bitch: Calls Chakuro, Nezu, and Ro dorks, appears to be the leader of a Girl Posse... and is eager to befriend Lykos, with no strings attached.

Fuzzy

Voiced by: Yūya Hirose (Japanese)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moja_anime.png

A Marked boy who takes part on the Skylos infiltration mission.

Character Catchphrase: He says "I'm not Fuzzy" whenever someone calls him by his nickname.
Dying Moment of Awesome: He charges in to protect the citizens of the Mud Whale from the insect-like monsters created by a Nous from the empire and his body becomes crystallized due to the chéri parasyte from the monster.
Jerkass Has a Point: The reasonable counterpart to the twins, whom he sides with but admits to not trusting. Fuzzy is often the voice of dissent and isn't shy about it, but all he really wants is a proper plan to ensure that the most people survive—such as pointing out that they can't just move to the Mud Whale to save the Unmarked, since that would get everyone else on the island killed, including the children.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's abrasive and tends to help the twins even in their less savoury plans, but he genuinely wants what's best for the island and has no issue with laying his own life on the line either.
Literally Shattered Lives: During the attack from Salinkári's battleship, Fuzzy is infected by the chéri parasyte that turns his body into crystallized fossil that then shatters.
Nothing Personal: He agrees with Shikon and Shikoku's ideals, but doesn't share their contempt towards the Unmarked or Lykos.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone calls him Fuzzy (Mojamoja) as a reference to his hair, much to his dismay.

Kikujin

Voiced by: Yuna Yoshino (Japanese)

A Marked young boy. He's the son of Kuchiba and his deceased Marked wife. He's an apprentice of Kogare, Chakuro's grandfather, and refers to himself as an observer of Chakuro.

Born-Again Immortality: Like Chakuro, Kikujin is repeatedly reborn into the world. In every life, he has the duty to collect Chakuro's records and preserve them for the future.
Connected All Along: Turns out Kikujin has been Chakuro's observer in every single one of their past lives, with Kikujin having the duty of preserving Chakuro's records in every incarnation.
Missing Mom: His mother was a Marked and died when he was an infant.
Reincarnated as the Opposite Sex: He has been a girl in at least one past life.
Stalker without a Crush: He has a strange interest in Chakuro and his records, habitually observing his activities from a distance. Turns out he has an instinctive sense of duty to follow Chakuro because he's meant to preserve his records, like he has done in all his past lives.

The Moles

In General

Childhood Friends: Aside from the twins, they've all known each other since they were kids.
Lovable Rogue: They're pretty much delinquents, but don't do anything actually bad. An extra reveals that since they don't take part in chores, they hunt and gather for their own food, and if they want something from the farms, they exchange items for it (technically not allowed, though).
Present Absence: Despite being extremely minor characters who died early on, Buki and Aijiro continue to be often present in Nibi and Ouni's thoughts.
True Companions: The twins aside, they're very close-knit.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Buki is killed before even saying a single line; Aijiro doesn't fare much better.

Ouni

Voiced by: Yuichiro Umehara (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Leader of the moles, of group of troublemakers on the Mud Whale. Said to be the strongest thymia user of the island.

The Ace: Not only he's considered the best thymia user on the Mud Whale, he's easily the best fighter among the people of Falaina.
Achilles in His Tent: Shuan and the twins weren't doing wonders for his psyche to begin with, but after he loses control of his powers and accidentally hurts Kicha and Suou, he finally accepts that he's a threat to everyone around him and thus isolates himself, with the decision to stay behind as everyone else goes to Amonlogia. It's when he realizes that the others will die without him around that he returns to the scene, selling himself out to Amonlogia to prevent the rest of the Marked from being conscripted.
Afraid of Their Own Strength: When his powers as a Daimonas are still unstable, Ouni hurts Kicha by accident. He becomes so afraid that he'll hurt the people he wants to protect again that he chooses to seclude himself for a while.
Anti-Hero: Unlike most of the island, he has no qualms about murdering, imprisoning, and torturing the enemy. With that said, all of it is done for the sake of protecting everyone else (or because he's been pushed too far).
Artificial Human: He's a Daimonas, a "doll" created from the lifeforce and feelings of the people living at the Mud Whale.
Badass in Distress: He's defeated and captured by Orca at the end of Ch. 51.
Big Damn Heroes:
- Though he's too late for Buki and Aijiro, he shows up just before the Empire forces can kill the rest of the bowel moles—at which point he exacts bloody vengeance.
- When Amonlogian forces are about to kill Shuan, Ouni promptly shows up to kill them. Shuan, being Shuan, complains that he should've gotten there sooner.
Bullying a Dragon: Despite being the most powerful person in the series, Ouni apparently has a "kick me" sign on his back.
- When Arachni suspects him of being a Daimonas, he decides to... insult, attack, and provoke him. Suffice to say he deserved having Skylos destroyed after killing Nibi in front of Ouni. Orca lampshades it later on.
- The twins, upon threatening Nezu into spilling what he and the others found out about Ouni, proceed to go straight to Ouni and taunt him with this newfound information. Shuan outright calls them idiots for somehow thinking it a bright idea to try and bully someone you're acknowledging as a "monster".
- While he doesn't go through with it and Ouni never finds out about it, Rochalizo's father was planning on killing Suou to demonstrate to Ouni that he was serious about killing the hostages if Ouni acted out of line. This definitely would've gone over well, since it's not like Ouni has a record of going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge every time someone kills a friend of his or anything.
Glass Cannon: Landing a hit on him isn't easy by any means, but as Orca notes, Ouni's still physically a teenage boy. Get a good hit on him and he'll go down.
Gut Feeling: Apparently has a "my friends are in danger" sensor, seeing as how, down in the bowel area, he immediately realizes something is up when—unbeknownst to him—Buki is killed, in contrast to Masoh who's acting as his guard but fails to notice anything.
Heroic Second Wind: Downplayed. He starts fighting back once Nibi shows up on the scene and does a rather impressive job of it for someone with two holes in his leg (and a slash wound across his chest), but it doesn't take long before adrenaline runs out and he collapses again mid-battle.
Heterosexual Life-Partners:
- With Nibi. Ouni might not express it well, but the two of them are deeply attached to each other.
- Later on, he forms this sort of relationship with Suou. According to the epilogue, they become lifelong friends and travel the world together.
Hope Bringer: When the people of the Mud Whale feel hopeless, Ouni raises their spirits and inspires them to keep fighting. Suou recognizes this and wants Ouni to act as a founder of their community when they find a new homeland to live in peace. Shuan outright calls Ouni a symbol of hope because he was literally born from the Mud Whale's residents' feelings of love.
"It" Is Dehumanizing: Orca, who views him solely as the Daimonas, pretty much refers to him in this way.^note
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be gruff and distant, but there's nothing he wouldn't do to protect his friends at the Mud Whale.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: If Suou is the "delicate and feminine guy" version, Ouni is the Tall, Dark, and Handsome one.
Macguffin Super Person: He's apparently The Antichrist, or something to that effect. Amonlogia wants him dead, while Orca intends on capturing him.
Magnetic Hero: The rest of the moles are devoted to him, he one-ups Suou's call to arms with ease (hence why Suou wants him to become leader for when they arrive in Amonlogia), and the twins know that if they have Ouni on their side, people will be far more inclined to join them.
Meaningful Name: "Ouni" sounds similar to the Japanese word for "Demon". It later turns out he kind of is, receiving the nickname of "Daimonas" from the Empire.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: He kills with startling efficiency and often without a word. Notably, the one time he doesn't—believing his opponent doesn't deserve a swift death—goes poorly for him, and he ends up defeated and captured.
Not So Stoic:
- Nibi thought him to be Unable to Cry, but tragically, Nibi's death is what finally causes him to break down in tears.
- On the happier end of things, he is capable of laughing (sincerely). In the manga, he does so while watching the others' pitiful attempts at weapon training, while in the anime, he does so after witnessing Suou and Rochalizo bicker.
One-Man Army: He can take out multiple enemies with minimal effort. When confronting the Amonlogia army, he flat-out states in a Badass Boast that he's worth hundreds of Marked.
Person of Mass Destruction: As a Daimonas, he can destroy nous. Even in a normal fight, he's pretty much a walking force, to the extent that the others have to tell him to keep it down a little.
The Power of Love: He was created from the love for the Mud Whale that Taisha gathered from her connections to the people in their island. Ouni loving the people of the Mud Whale too and his wish to protect them is what makes him such a powerful Daimonas.
Purple Is Powerful: His eyes are purple, and is the strongest thymia user on Falaina. And when he loses control after Nibi is killed, his thymia turns dark purple.
Red Baron: Called the "Daimonas of Falaina" by the enemy due to his unusually powerful Thymia. Amonlogia knows him as "Thanatas", though both are written with the kanji for demon king.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: He slaughters the invading forces of the empire after they murder a couple of his friends. Then again when Nibi is killed.
- And a third time when he encounters Orca, the one behind the attack to begin with and therefore indirectly responsible for all of the above cases. Ouni's pretty fond of this trope.
Shaping Your Attacks: Eventually, his Thymia takes the shape of swords.
Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Chakuro figures out rather early on that even while Ouni's trying to Kick the Dog, it's only because he's covering up his grief through anger.
The Stoic: He doesn't show a ton of emotion on his face, and Nibi notes that he's never seen him cry.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: He appears to be cold and aloof, but is a very caring person who will do anything to protect his companions and there's some moments where he can laugh along the other teens.
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Your typical black-haired pretty boy, who doesn't show a whole lot of emotion.
Took a Level in Cynic: He wanted to see the outside world, Empire forces killing two of his friends changed that.
Tragic Bromance: Nibi's death is what triggers his awakening as a Daimonas, and his memory continues to serve as a motivating factor for Ouni, who's still not entirely over his death.
Tragic Dream: Ouni's lifelong dream is to see the world outside the Mud Whale. Sadly, Shuan reveals that Ouni can't leave the Mud Whale even if the residents do manage to find a new place to settle in because Ouni is Daimonas, an Artificial Human that survives by absorbing the lifeforce that the Nous Falaina takes from the Marked. If Ouni were to leave the Mud Whale, he would die in a short time.
Traumatic Superpower Awakening: He unlocks his potential as a Daimonas only after witnessing Nibi's brutal death.
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No one ever comments on the fact that he's a walking nest of uijigoke (i.e. those fluffballs that always hang around him).
World's Strongest Man: After he awakens as a Daimonas, Shuan notes that he could very well be the most powerful being in the world. With that said, he's hardly invincible, as he's still a teenager in the end—both in physical endurance and in the sense that he isn't always the most rational person around.

Nibi

Voiced by: Atsushi Tamaru (Japanese), Ayaka Suwa (Japanese, child), Kyle McCarley (English), Cristina Valenzuela (English, child)^{Foreign VAs}

Ouni's closest friend, and former leader of their gang.

Boisterous Weakling: He talks a big game and he is a decent fighter, but he's not as strong as the SDF—or Ouni, who in contrast is a No-Nonsense Nemesis. When the twins hear that he joined Ouni on the infiltration mission, they're convinced he's going to drag him down.
Bromantic Foil: He's Ouni's closest friend, and a contrast to him in appearance, personality, and power.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: Ouni's, though it's more like Collapsed Dead Into Your Arms.
Gut Feeling: In the manga, one of his reasons for forcing himself onto the Skylos assault force is because he feels that if he doesn't, he'll never see Ouni again. In a way, he was completely right. If he hadn't been there, Ouni would've died; since he is, he dies in Ouni's place.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Ouni. It's made clear that, despite not having been selected for the mission, he chooses to accompany the Skylos assault force so that he can fight by Ouni's side.
Living Emotional Crutch: A bit of one for Ouni. Though Ouni can ultimately function without him, losing Nibi is what pushes him over the edge, and the twins accuse Ouni of losing all ambition due to Nibi's death.
The Promise: He made one to Ouni as a kid: that one day, he'd take him to see the outside world.
Tragic Bromance: He's Ouni's best friend and gets brutally killed in front of him to make him awaken as a Daimonas.

Kicha

Voiced by: Ayaka Asai (Japanese), Cristina Valenzuela (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Another member of the moles, who grows fiercely protective of Ouni over the events of the story.

Childhood Friend Romance: She has a crush on Ouni who she has known since they were kids.
It Was a Gift: Ouni gave her a coral fossil that she kept sewn into her sash.
Mouthy Kid: On the bratty side, but she isn't entirely wrong in what she says.
Older Than They Look: She's actually only two years younger than Ouni. She's just really short.
One of the Boys: She's completely at home in an otherwise all-male gang.
The Smurfette Principle: She's the only girl of the Moles gang.

Shikon and Shikoku

Shikon: Voiced by: Jun'ya Enoki (Japanese)^{Foreign VAs}

Shikoku: Voiced by: Taku Yashiro (Japanese)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shionshikoku.jpg

Two members of the moles who broke off from the core group.

Break Them by Talking: They attempt this on Ouni in a mixture of wanting him to join them or, if that fails, at least wearing him down enough so that he won't interfere with them anymore.
Fantastic Racism: They display disgust towards the Unmarked. See Jerkass Has a Point.
Hate Sink: They're insufferable assholes who do nothing but piss people off and try to turn the Marked against the Unmarked to satiate their petty Fantastic Racism.
Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Both twins have bangs covering one eye to emphasize their rebelliousness and aloofness.
Hypocrite: They go on about how Might Makes Right, but end up cowering before Ouni at the very same rally, proving that they're more bark than bite.
Identical Twin ID Tag: Their most notable physical difference is the direction in which they part their hair. (For the record, Shikon's hair covers his right eye, while Shikoku's his left.) Other minor differences include whether or not their hair strands curl up or down, as well as the color of their bows.
Jerkass: They insult Nibi repeatedly including after he dies, threaten Nezu and trash his and Ro's workshop, apparently make it their life mission to taunt Ouni at every possible opportunity, and constantly try to put down the Unmarked. Yeah, on an island of mostly well-meaning people, they come off as huge pricks.
Jerkass Has a Point: Played with. It's not hard to understand where they're coming from when they talk about how, compared to the Unmarked, the Marked have done the most for the island during the conflict and yet receive the short end of the stick, and some people do give them that much, but any point they might have is otherwise overshadowed by the fact that they're huge assholes who don't exactly come off as voices of reason.
Single-Minded Twins: Virtually indistinguishable both in appearance, personality, and role. They always act in sync, with no real differentiation between the two.
The Social Darwinist: They believe that power should be everything on the island, hence why they hate the Unmarked, whom they perceive as dragging them down and using them.
Stalker without a Crush: Granted, it's a small island, but half of their scenes involve them spying/eavesdropping on Ouni, hearing about Ouni from the grapevine, actively trying to get more info about Ouni, or even just talking about Ouni. They're a tad obsessed.
Theme Twin Naming: Shikon and Shikoku.
Took a Level in Kindness: Their personalities eventually improve and both stop acting like jerks towards the end of the manga.

Authorities of Falaina

Suou

Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki (Japanese), Bryce Papenbrook (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of the few non-thymia users of the Mud Whale, and Sami's older brother. He's a(n overly) kind and compassionate man, trying his hardest to find a cure to the Marked people's short lifespan.

Actual Pacifist: He's truly incapable of hurting others, and would rather talk than fight.
All for Nothing: He wanted to find a cure to the Marked's short lifespans because he knew he wouldn't be able to bear Sami dying before him. Well, about that. Just to hammer the nail into the coffin, it's eventually revealed that Falaina is responsible for the entire thing, meaning it was a hopeless goal from the very beginning.
All-Loving Hero: He always has Sympathy for the Devil, even if he was furious at them moments ago or if they betrayed them. In the latter case, in spite of everything, he still offers for Rochalizo to become part of the Mud Whale for good.
Badass Pacifist: When things get grim as they do after arriving in Amonlogia and being held captive, he shows his inner steel—not through any weapon, but by standing his ground and refusing to cower.
Batman Grabs a Gun: Despite hating violence, he picks up one of Rochalizo's rifles to defend himself and other Falainans during the attack of the Geráki battleship.
Beware the Nice Ones: Subverted. When Hakuji dies and Liontari mocks his death, Suou is pissed and, for the first time, picks up a weapon with the intention to fight... but is easily defeated nevertheless.
Broken Tears: He breaks down crying after his sister dies.
Caring Gardener: He grows a herb garden to experiment with medicines in hopes of finding a remedy that helps extend the Marked's lifespan.
The Chains of Commanding: He does his best, but it is not easy for him to have to command the Marked to fight, especially when many of them inevitably die, which he blames himself for.
The Charmer: A smile from Suou can get through anyone in no time flat.
Chick Magnet: He's really popular with the ladies from the council.
A Child Shall Lead Them: He's only seventeen. His ascension was unexpected, due to Taisha's untimely death.
Cute Clumsy Girl: A male example. He can trip over nothing, much to Kuchiba's bafflement.
Distressed Dude: He gets locked up in episode 4 after he refuses to sink the Mud Whale as per the Elders' orders. And then, with the other Unmarked, he's held hostage against the Marked in Amonlogia.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: The island's citizens know he's a guy. People outside the island, on the other hand, comment on him having a woman's face.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Greenish, technically, but combined with him being one of the most purehearted characters (to a fault), he gives off this impression.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: He eventually becomes close to Ouni. According to the epilogue, later in their lives, they form a lifelong friendship and travel the world together.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Not helping with his effeminate appearance.
Naked First Impression: When he's taking a bath, he's so excited to make an alliance with Rochalízo's crew that he welcomes them to the Mud Whale without putting clothes on and doesn't even realize he's naked until Rochalízo calls him the chief of a naked savage tribe.
The Needs of the Many: After Ouni and Lykos are captured by Orca, he chooses not to go after them and instead tries to find a place where the inhabitants of the Mud Whale can settle. Chakuro is of course upset with this decision.
Nervous Tics: He clasps his hands when he's anxious. It's a custom among men in the Mud Whale, but Suou does it the most often.
Nice Guy: Incredibly sweet. If anything, he's too nice for the series he lives in.
Non-Action Guy: No combat skill. Heck, he's terrible at any kind of physical activity in general.
Not So Above It All: Despite trying his best to be a mature and wise major, he quickly starts throwing sand at people in the Day the Sand Returns after Chakuro, Nezu and Ro provoke him with a prank.
Not So Weak: He's a very gentle and somewhat meek Unmarked, but if the safety and dignity of the Marked are compromised, Suou will stand up to anyone to defend them.
Rage Breaking Point: Played for Laughs. After Chakuro, Nezu, and Ro dump sand on him immediately after his speech, he snaps and yells at him that even he can get mad, but it's an entirely comical moment.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: When the Elders order him to sink the Mud Whale into the sand, Suou refuses and is locked in the dungeons for his trouble.
Stepford Smiler: In the manga, right after he tries to cheer up Kicha, who's grieving over Nibi's death and Ouni's coma, he privately breaks down, with only Kuchiba witnessing it.
Supporting Leader: As the chieftain of the Mud Whale. He's the one making the decisions and dealing with any political affairs.
Sympathy for the Devil: Towards Liontari in episode 8. Thanks to Aíma's Magic Music, he taps into Liontari's memories and sees the sad circumstances that led him to become the psychotic killer he is today. After Shuan incapacitates him, Suou offers him a chance to surrender peacefully and live with them in Falaina. Unfortunately, Liontari is too broken to listen to reason.
Vitriolic Best Buds: He becomes fast friends with Rochalizo, but their interactions are often in the form of comical bickering.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: During the first attack, he initially believes that this can be talked over, and that nobody needs to fight. Cue him walking in on Ouni slaughtering the enemy. Even afterwards, he tries to promise Kicha that he won't let there be any more fighting, and suffice to say that he absolutely is not able to keep his word.
You Are in Command Now: Becomes the mayor of the Mud Whale after Taisha's death.

Taisha

Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (Japanese), Anne Yatco (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The mayor of the Mud Whale at the start of the story.

Celibate Hero: As Chieftain, she was forbidden from having any family, hence why Kuchiba kept his feelings private.
Dead Star Walking: Voiced a by a veteran seiyuu, looks initially important and dies two episodes in.
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Aíma tried to corrupt Taisha and make her curse the Mud Whale by showing her visions of her future death, but Taisha ultimately could only feel pure love for the Mud Whale and the people living in it. Those emotions were what really gave birth to Ouni.
The Lost Lenore: She's killed in the first attack from the empire, leaving a big impact in Kuchiba for the rest of the series.
Oblivious to Love: Shinono notes that Taisha had no idea Kuchiba was madly in love with her.
Puppet King: More or less serves as one. All the real power lies with the council of elders, with the mayor serving as a figurehead for the people.
Sacrificial Lamb: She's killed by Empire forces at the start of the first story arc.
Spirit Advisor: To Chakuro after her death, urging him to save the people of the Mud Whale and discover the truth the Elders hid from them.
Stepford Smiler: Generally acted cheerful around others, but Kuchiba realized that deep inside, she empathized with the Marked's plight to the extent that she herself was an unhappy person.

Kuchiba

Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanse), Doug Erholtz (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of the few unmarked of the Mud Whale. In love with Taisha, whom he acts as an attendant to.

Arranged Marriage: In the past, despite his protests, he was made to marry a Marked girl with an especially short lifespan.
Crush Blush: He blushed when interacting with Taisha, as a sign of his hopeless crush.
Distressed Dude: Held captive in Amonlogia with the other Unmarked.
Fiery Redhead: Red-haired, and one of the more temperamental characters in the series.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Short-tempered and strict, but still very much a good guy.
Hopeless Suitor: He was in love with Taisha, but she never realized his feelings and even if she did, the major is forbidden from getting married. Kuchiba had long accepted that he never had a chance with her, but intended to be devoted to her nonetheless.
Not So Above It All:
- A non-comedic example. He's usually the strictest regarding the "no crying" rule during sand burials, so when he of all people is crying or expressly permits it, you know that it's a heartbreaking one.
- A comedic example happens when the main gang decide to read through Taisha's diaries to find information about Miden's room. Kuchiba insists it would be disrespectful to Taisha's memory, but Chakuro giving him the idea that Taisha mentioned him in her diary is enough to make Kuchiba join the investigation.
Older Than They Look: If you were wondering why Masoh keeps calling him an old man, he's thirty-nine, despite being drawn clean-shaven and slender.
Outliving One's Offspring: His son is a Marked.
Parents as People: As with most Unmarked parents, he's shown to care about his son (Kikujin), but their drastically different lifespans complicates their relationship and Chakuro notes that he (and Shinono) hold back around their kids for it.
Revenge Before Reason: Rasha calls him out on desiring vengeance for Taisha's death. In the battle itself, he admits that she's right... except for the part where she assumed he'd leave it to the Marked. Instead, he goes out on the battlefield himself, despite being an Unmarked. And still badly injured. If it weren't for Masoh's intervention, he'd be dead.
Sarcastic Devotee: To Suou. Compared to Shinono, Kanae, and Furano, who are much friendlier and more polite, Kuchiba is brutally honest with him and entirely willing to criticize him.
Situational Hand Switch: In the second attack, he wields a sword in his left hand, due to his right arm having been badly injured during the first attack.
Subordinate Excuse: Since he knew the major isn't allowed to get married, Kuchiba became the major's aide to be close to Taisha despite her not feeling the same way about him.
Survivor Guilt: He wishes he'd been the one to die instead of Taisha, given that he was right there with her when they were attacked.
Undying Loyalty: He was devoted to Taisha more than anyone in the Mud Whale.
Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: Taisha never returned his feelings, both because of her obliviousness and duties as major, but Kuchiba still loves her deeply even after her tragic death.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Constantly butting heads with Masoh ever since they were kids.

Shinono

Voiced by: Ikumi Hayama (Japanese), Cristina Valenzuela (English)^{Foreign VAs}

An attendant to the Chieftain.

Last Kiss: She kisses Masoh right as he gives out his final breath.
Love Hurts: After her first husband—a Marked—passed away, she swore she'd never fall in love with another Marked, as she didn't want to feel that pain again. Of course, she can't help but fall in love with Masoh, who's to die soon and she knows it.
Obfuscating Stupidity: She knows Masoh is in love with her but purposely plays dumb.
Oblivious to Love: Subverted. It seems as though she's unaware of Masoh's feelings for her, but she admits to Kuchiba that she's just pretending not to notice.
Outliving One's Offspring: Her child is a Marked.
Parents as People: Same as Kuchiba (and most of the Unmarked parents), Shinono keeps her Marked child at arm's length to try and avoid the pain of being doomed to outlive her own child.

Hakuji

Voiced by: Eizou Tsuda (Japanese), Keith Silverstein (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of the elders.

Dying Moment of Awesome: He protects a group of kids and takes down the advancing soldiers through sheer determination after he's been cut down, despite having zero combat skill.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He decides to sink the Mud Whale (in a failed attempt, thankfully), but because he believes that otherwise, they're doomed to be slaughtered by the Empire, in which case it's better to Face Death with Dignity. By the time he's killed, he admits to Suou on his deathbed that he regrets that decision.

Byakuroku

Voiced by: Motomu Kiyokawa (Japanese), Kyle McCarley (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of the elders—the oldest resident on the island, in fact—as well as one of the first leaders of the Mud Whale.

Heroic Sacrifice: In the final chapter, Byakuroku sacrifices his last remaining life force to bring a last miracle for Ouni and Shuan. Thanks to this, Ouni becomes able to live alongside other humans outside the Mud Whale and Shuan recovers his eyesight.
I Was Quite a Looker: He was a Pretty Boy in his youth.
Mayfly–December Friendship: He has had a very close relationship with Neri since he was young. When they first met, they looked around the same age, but now they look like an Intergenerational Friendship because Byakuroku has aged into an old man in contrast to Neri who still looks like a young girl.
Only Friend: He was the only person Miden could call a friend. Sadly, their friendship ended in tragedy after Dyo ordered Miden to kill all the villagers that opposed her and Byakuroku killed Miden to end the rampage.
Scatterbrained Senior: He's so old that he's barely aware or responsive of his surroundings. Even at his most lucid, he mistakes Chakuro for his grandfather and Ouni for Miden.

Rasha

Voiced by: Mari Yokoo (Japanese)

One of the elders, and Shuan's mother.

Brutal Honesty: She doesn't mince her words when telling off Suou and Kuchiba for choosing to fight the Empire to avenge the deaths of their loved ones while willingly putting the Marked children in danger.
Eye-Obscuring Hat: Her eyes are normally obscured by her headgear.
In the Blood: She's an aloof and not entirely pleasant person who digs into people's psyche through words. Her son takes after her unfriendliness.
Outliving One's Offspring: She's fated to outlive her son because she's an Unmarked and Shuan's a Marked. Shuan actually suspects that this is why she tried to turn him into a Daimonas, as doing so would extend his life.
Plagued by Nightmares: Around 16 years before the start of the story, Rasha was tormented by recurring nightmares that showed the war of the outside world and information to create a Daimonas. During the experiment to create a Daimonas, Shuan learned through visions that Rasha had those nightmares because the clan that created the Daimonas sent their research to the future in the form of dreams.
So Proud of You: Shuan gets absorbed by a Nous-created monster parasyte while protecting the Mud Whale along Ouni. Afterwards, Rasha expresses how proud she is of her son for always protecting the Mud Whale and its citizens.

The Magissa of Falaina

Both

The Ageless: Their physical appearance never changes. Flashbacks from around 80 years ago show Neri looking exactly like how she does in the present.
Artificial Human: They look like human girls, but they're actually lifeforms created from the Nous Falaina.
Curtains Match the Window: Their hair and eyes are the same color.
Identical Twin ID Tag: While they're identical, they have different hair colors (Neri has pink hair and Aíma has red hair). Also, Aíma wears a black and red dress in contrast to Neri's white dress.
Mysterious Waif: At first, they seem to be ordinary unmarked girls, but they then start to appear out of nowhere to give visions and predictions to Chakuro and co., and seem to be closely related to the Nous Falaina.
Older Than They Look: Even though they look like children, Neri is at least as old as the Mud Whale (over 90 years old) and Aíma was created around 16 years prior to the start of the series.
Palette Swap: Aíma looks identical to Neri but has a darker color palette.
Polar Opposite Twins: While Neri is gentle and peaceful, Aíma is forward and chaotic.
Winged Humanoid: Both have the ability to sprout wings to fly.

Neri

Voiced by: Ai Kakuma (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Neri is a mysterious unmarked girl who serves the elders of the Mud Whale.

The Bus Came Back: After disappearing for over ten chapters, Neri comes back in chapter 25 after regaining enough strength to materialize.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is Aíma, like her sister. "Neri" is the name Byakuroku gave her.
Put on a Bus: After she's absorbed into Falaina to heal it and prevent the ship from sinking, she disappears for a chunk of chapters and her "twin sister" Aíma replaces her.
Rei Ayanami Expy: She's a generally calm and soft-spoken Mysterious Waif with light pink hair and pink eyes. Like Rei, she looks human, but is connected to an Eldritch Abomination.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: She's a gentle and cute little girl with pink hair.
Self-Duplication: She can split herself into several smaller bodies.

Aíma

Voiced by: Ai Kakuma (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ema_all.png

Aíma is the twin sister of Neri, and seems even more strange than her sister.

Creepy Child: Compared to Neri, Aíma's behavior is a lot more unsettling and uncanny.
Evil Redhead: Unlike her pink-haired sister Neri, the red-haired Aíma is shady and malicious.
Evil Twin: To Neri. Whereas Neri seems to wish for the best for the people of the Mud Whale, Aíma has somewhat more sinister and self-centered motives, including the fact that she doesn't mind leaving the Unmarked to die, since they aren't "food" and therefore provide no use to her.
Grief Song: Sort of. In volume 3/episode 7, when the battle between Skylos and Falaina is about to start, Aíma improvises a song calling on all the people buried in the sand. Except she sings it with a smile, and even a little dance in the anime.
Odd Name Out: Unlike the other inhabitants of the Mud Whale and her twin sister whose names are colors, Aíma is named after a Greek word (αἷμᾰ, meaning "Blood"), similar to the Nous and the people of the Allied Empire.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: She wears a black and red dress, emphasizing her eerie and sinister behavior.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her red eyes serve as a sign that she isn't benevolent and harmless like Neri.
The Social Darwinist: She believes the strong should rule over the weak and create the world from the corpses of the defeated, leading her to support Shikon's and Shikoku's ideals of getting rid of the Unmarked.
Token Evil Teammate: Out of the Falainans, Aíma is the one who doesn't seem to wish for a good future for the people. She saves Liontari, who wants nothing more than to slaughter everyone in Falaina, and joins Shikon and Shikoku in their cause of putting the Marked in power by expelling the Unmarked just because the Nous can't feed on the Unmarked's lifespan.

Past Figures of Falaina

Dyo (Unmarked Spoilers)

Dyo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dyo_1.png

The first leader of the Mud Whale.

Et Tu, Brute?: While she was shocked to learn Ekato was a spy, what really broke her was him confessing he was the one who sold her and her fellow rebels out to the empire. She then didn't hesitate to execute him.
Iconic Item: She wore distinctively large and round earrings.
It Gets Easier: After she was pushed into ordering Miden to kill the man she loved for betrayal, Dyo showed no remorse in killing anyone who threatened the order in the Mud Whale.
It Was a Gift: Her earrings were a gift from the jester that inspired her to create a place where people could live happily and freely.
Kid with the Leash: Miden, the Daimonas she created, only killed at her orders.
Posthumous Character: Died long before the start of the series.
Start of Darkness: Finding out that the man she loved was a spy and therefore having to (have Miden) kill him was the beginning of the end for her.
Suicide by Sea: She threw herself into the Sea of Sand to be Together in Death with Ekato when it became clear that it was over for her.
The Unfettered: After she had to execute Ekato as a traitor, Dyo became hell-bent on killing anyone who could disturb the peace in the Mud Whale.

Miden (Unmarked Spoilers)

Miden

A boy of mysterious origins who saw Dyo as his "mother".

Artificial Human: As a Daimonas, he was born from the Nous through Dyo's efforts.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: He died in Byakuroku's arms, after being mortally injured by him and the other villagers.
Identical Stranger: Looks identical to Ouni.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Like Ouni, he was an attractive guy with long black hair.
One-Man Army: He was easily capable of taking out multiple people in an instant. He died only because he let himself be killed.
Posthumous Character: He only appears in flashbacks from around 80 years ago, which conclude with his death.
Psychopathic Manchild: An extremely dangerous being who, in some ways, was still a child unable to grow up.
Suicide by Cop: After Dyo committed suicide, Miden kept killing the villagers until he let Byakuroku mortally wound him with a spear.
Tragic Hero: Or Tragic Villain, depending on exactly how you see him. He genuinely wanted to protect the island, but between his devotion to Dyo and the Blue-and-Orange Morality that being a Daimonas with a restricted upbringing gave him, he ended up as a killing machine turned against the very people he was supposed to help, and was ultimately killed by them and his Only Friend, Byakuroku.

The Allied Empire

In General

Animal Theme Naming: The people of the empire don't have actual names. Instead, they use the names of animal species to call themselves.
Apocalypse How: They believe that the gods once destroyed the world in an event called the Karthartirio Rain because humanity could not control their emotions.
Emotion Suppression: They use the Nous to keep their emotions in check.
Emotions vs. Stoicism: They are on the Stoicism side.
The Empire: Referred to as such by Lykos herself.
Hypocrite: A conversation in episode 12 reveals the members of the upper castes sometimes eat the flesh of Nous, called sarka, to limit the amount of emotions consumed. However, it's only supposed to be given to relatives up to the third degree.
The Stoic: The Empire rejects emotion, as they believe it to be the root of all evil.
- Not So Stoic: However, many of the characters from the Empire are shown to be rather expressive.

Liontari

Voiced by: Daiki Yamashita (Japanese), Griffin Burns (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryodari_all.png

An imperial apátheia soldier who experiences emotions, namely glee in killing. He's considered a freak even in his country for that reason.

Animal Motifs: He's very similar to a feline, as it's appropriate for someone with "lion" for a name. He has long fangs, cat-like eyes and behaves like a tamed cat after Orca makes him his jester. Kannavi even calls him "Kitty".
Ax-Crazy: He can't become a proper soldier because as he's incompatible with Nous and is dangerously unstable and murderous as a result. It doesn't help that he lives in a society where emotions are considered evil and barbaric, and thus has no one to teach him how to manage them.
Big Brother Worship: He comes to idolize Orca as a big brother figure.
Blood Knight: He takes joy in slaughtering people.
Bodyguarding a Badass: After being made Orca's jester, Liontari's main job is acting as his bodyguard. However, Liontari knows someone known as the "God of Death" doesn't really need a bodyguard.
Bungled Suicide: Jumped out of a window as a child, supposedly to get away from the words of the other children.
Cannibalism Superpower: In the final arc, he eats Skiá after the latter is expelled from Chakuro's body. This causes Liontari to obtain the powers of a Nous.
Child Soldier: He's fifteen and an active soldier for the Empire.
Crazy Jealous Guy: He hates the idea of Orca favouring anyone else (Lykos, the Insect Cage, etc.) over him.
Cuddle Bug: He likes hugging, glomping, and hanging on other people like Lykos, Orca and Itia.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Back when he was a kid, Lykos and Orca would look at Liontari with eyes full of pity. Liontari is very pissed about that.
Driven by Envy: Lykos eventually figures out that Liontari wants to kill the people of Falaina because he's really jealous of them for being able to express and share their emotions freely. Liontari tries to deny it, but his furious reaction indicates Lykos is right.
Evil Is Hammy: He can't contain his joy to meet people with emotions, mainly because he enjoys seeing them scream and cry as he kills them, and it shows. His voice actor in the anime chews the scenery into smithereens.
Fangs Are Evil: To emphasize his bloodthirsty nature, he has long fangs like a feline.
Faux Affably Evil: His cheerfulness while killing innocents only makes him more disturbing.
Fictional Disability: If it weren't for him being born in the Empire, his incompatibility with the Nous wouldn't have been that much of a problem. Here, it causes him to be ostracised.
Hellish Pupils: His cat-like pupils are another detail that makes him look pretty creepy.
Horned Humanoid: He grows horns after he eats Skiá and gains Nous powers in the process.
Inconsistent Spelling: The French edition calls him "Leodari", based on the Japanese spelling "Ryodari".
Legally Dead: After the failed mission to destroy Falaina and its inhabitants, Itia reports as Liontari killed in action only to later find out he survived thanks to the intervention of Aíma. Orca prefers it this way because Liontari has no other option but to become his jester if he still wants to kill the people of Falaina.
Loners Are Freaks: His personality is practically stated to be a result of his ostracisation from everyone, including his own family.
Monster Clown: After he became one of Orca's jesters, he wears a jester outfit and is still a murderous psycho.
Murder the Hypotenuse: A non-romantic example. Liontari wants to be Orca's only younger sibling and thinks he should kill Orca's blood-related sister Lykos.
Not Quite Dead: He's stabbed in the throat and stomach, hit by arrows, and falls off the Mud Whale into the sea of sand, but survives because Aíma rescues him.
The Only One I Trust: Orca outright calls Liontari the only one he can trust, although only because the latter needs Orca's help to go slaughter the people of Falaina. Liontari is still happy that Orca values him in some way.
Psycho Pink: He has bright pink hair and is very eager to kill people in painful ways.
Redemption Equals Death: At the end of the manga, Liontari is redeemed when Chakuro and Lykos forgive him and promise to give him a place to belong so he stops wanting to destroy everything. However, since he has turned himself into a Nous, Liontari has to go to the depths of the Sea of Sand and stay sealed there along the others of his kind because Chakuro and the others chose to live in a world without Nouses.
Redemption Rejection: Suou offers Liontari to come to live to Falaina so he doesn't have to live in an empire where people shun him for being incompatible with the Nous. Liontari turns down the offer because he enjoys killing people with emotions and Falaina is the perfect place for him to do that.
Regretful Traitor: When he and Orca are captured by the Empire, Liontari sells him out to save his own skin. He later regrets this as he realizes he betrayed the only person who he thought might have accepted him.
The Starscream: In the final arc, Liontari devours the Emperor Skiá and usurps his place as the final villain.
Sycophantic Servant: Although he wasn't thrilled about being turned into a jester at first, he comes adore Orca so much that he's clinging on to him and purring when he pets him like a domesticated cat.
Token Evil Teammate: Out of Orca's faction, Liontari is the only one who likes killing people for fun.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: He wants his "big brother" Orca to praise him as more useful than any of his subordinates or his blood-related sister.

Orca

Voiced by: Akira Ishida (Japanese), Kyle McCarley (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oruka_all.png

Lykos' older brother, and a general in the Empire's army.

Affably Evil: His attitude tends to blur the line between this and Faux Affably Evil, but it's noteworthy that when Suou and co. infiltrate his ship to negotiate, Orca waits for them in an area where thymia cannot be used—more of a disadvantage to him than them—and throws away all his weapons to fully level the playing field, as he sincerely believes he can win them over to his side.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: He got on his knees and tearfully begged Salinkári to spare the people of Kítrino, but he only got beaten and brainwashed for disobeying orders.
Aloof Big Brother: First, he had no qualms abandoning his little sister Lykos, and when he found out she was still alive, he decided to use her a guinea pig to see how Falaina will affect her. Since he's devoid of emotion, like all the imperial soldiers, this cold-heartedness is hardly surprising.
Arch-Nemesis: To Ouni. Once the latter realizes he's in the presence of the one who ordered the attack on Falaina—the attack that killed his friends—he flips. Meanwhile, on Orca's end, he very much wants Ouni in his possession.
An Arm and a Leg: Ouni decimates one of his lower legs.
Artificial Limbs: He obtains a mechanical leg after losing his leg and notes that it's almost better than a real limb, as he can manipulate it with thymia.
The Atoner: His real motive for everything he does is to undo the massacre of Kítrino that he was brainwashed into committing. However, Chakuro, Lykos and Suou make him realize that his way of atoning has only resulted in more death and tragedy. They persuade him into protecting the Mud Whale from the attack of Salinkári, the man who was behind his brainwashing, to prevent Lykos loses her paradise like he did.
Babies Ever After: He has a son with Itia at the end of the manga.
Blemished Beauty: His facial scar doesn't take away from his good looks.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Since he refused to kill the natives of Kítrino, Salinkári handed Orca over to a Nous that completely absorbed all emotion in him and turned him into a heartless killing machine that slaughtered the people who gave him a place that he could call paradise.
Child Soldier: He's been in the army since he was young.
Close-Call Haircut: In episode 12, Liontari kills the assassins targeting Orca and cuts some of Orca's hair with one of his star-shaped blades by mistake.
Covered with Scars: He has scars all over his body due to him never trying to defend himself in battle in his days as a private soldier.
Cruel Mercy: He didn't kill Salinkári earlier, despite having the means to do so and get away with it, because he wanted Salinkári to see the ideal happy world he planned to create by giving humanity power over the Nous, knowing that Salinkári hates hope and salvation more than anything. After Chakuro and Lykos convince him to give up his plans, however, Orca has nothing holding him back from attempting to kill the bastard who destroyed his happiness.
Dark and Troubled Past: For all of his atrocities, his backstory is one of the most horrific in the series. Not that he appreciates it being on display or others showing sympathy for it.
Death Seeker: Downplayed. He reveals that he doesn't actively do much to avoid death, as he figures that if he's not meant to execute his goals, fate will find a way to kill him; conversely, the fact that he keeps surviving is a sign that his path is the correct one. Some of his remarks suggest that he's actually disappointed about his inability to die, though.
Disc-One Final Boss: For most of the series, Orca is presented as the biggest enemy to the people of Falaina. Chakuro and Lykos eventually convince Orca to abandon his plan of giving humanity the power to alter fate, but the Emperor is still after Falaina and eventually sets out to start the Kataklysmós.
Dissonant Serenity: He rarely breaks away from his normal expression of a slight smile, even when logically he should be reacting due to things like pain.
Driven to Villainy: Orca's life has been a living hell and he was even brainwashed into destroying the only happiness he ever knew. Not even able to handle the pain and remorse, he turned into a villain in order to dominate the Nous Anthropos and create an ideal world where all humans can manipulate time as they like and lead a life free of all pain and suffering.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite causing so much death and destruction, he's shown to genuinely care about his subordinates, his fiancée Itia and his Only Friend Kannavi. Ultimately, he does love his sister Lykos too, although he conceals it behind his cold personality.
Every Scar Has a Story: The scar across his face is a grim memento of the massacre of Kítrino where he was forced to cause. Albus, the swordsman who saved his life and took him to the island, tried to stop Orca and slashed his face, but Orca still killed him along everyone in the island.
Fingore: In the fifth volume, the ends of two of his fingers are blown off by a gun.
Freudian Excuse: He was brainwashed by a Nous and forced into killing the only people who ever made him feel happy. He seeks to use the power of the Daímonas to steal the Nous Anthropos from the Emperor and allow humanity to have control of their own destiny, even change their pasts to erase past tragedies like his own.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a particularly distinctive scar across his face that serves to highlight his role as an antagonist—though it shifts more to the tragic side of things once its origins are revealed.
Handicapped Badass: In the final battle, he's missing a leg and his body is almost completely broken after Salinkári's torture, but he still manages to take down a Nous monster to protect the people of the Mud Whale.
The Heavy: Orca is the most active villain and primary threat to the people of Falaina for most of the series, but the Emperor is the one who sent him to obtain Falaina for his own purposes.
Heel–Face Turn: Double Subverted. It seems as though he has a change of heart after hearing out Suou and co, but he soon reveals to Itia that he hasn't (after all, he didn't actually say he agreed with them). However, when Sarigari shows up to attack the Mud Whale, Orca swiftly moves in to protect it rather than side with the man who destroyed his life.
Heel Realization: Once he reveals his true plans to create a "paradise" for humanity with the power of the Nous, Lykos angrily tells Orca that she doesn't want the paradise he has chosen for her because she already found her own paradise at the Mud Whale and now he's trying to destroy her happiness just like when Salinkári destroyed his with the massacre of Kítrino.
He Who Fights Monsters: As Lykos points out, for all that he despairs over destroying Kitrino and wants to fix what he's done, he's repeating the same mistake with the Mud Whale.
Hidden Heart of Gold: After the destruction of Kitrino, he snapped and essentially created a split personality to cope with the trauma. The confident, ruthless persona he manifested is the one seen for most of the series; underneath, however, he's still the kind-hearted pacifist Lykos once knew, even if he only shows this side consistently to Kannavi.
Hime Cut: Male example. To show he's a man of high rank in the military, he has blunt bangs, cheek length sidelocks, and long hair.
Interrupted Suicide: After Lykos rejects his plan to turn back time and take her to Kítrino with him, Orca tries to stab his own neck with his sword. Chakuro stops him and implores him to live to atone for his crimes.
Large Ham: Becomes this during his trial for losing Skylos. It's what helps him get out of a death sentence.
Like Parent, Like Spouse: Like Sister, Like Fiancée, in his case. When Chakuro meets Orca's fiancée Itia, he immediately points out she looks similar to Lykos, Orca's younger sister. Itia herself realizes Orca must have felt drawn to her because of her resemblance to his sister.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's a handsome man with waist length hair.
Major Injury Underreaction: He has had some of his fingers blown off by a bullet and his right leg ripped apart by Ouni. In both occasions, he shows no reaction to his injury.
Manipulative Bastard: Lykos notes that he's good at weaving stories to make himself look better. He proves this when he goes from being sentenced to execution to a free man who waltzes right back to his plans and even manages to snag the Empire's best ship, all through talking. He also plays on Ouni's insecurities to weaken him, though Ouni does try to resist, at least.
One-Man Army: He's considered to be worth as much as a nous, which is also why the Empire can't afford to get rid of him.
Prone to Tears: In his younger days, despite the Nous absorbing his emotions, Orca would cry often because he couldn't stand to be surrounded by war and death. He still cries easily whenever his kind personality resurfaces.
Red Baron: He's known as the "God of Death" for creating countless corpses in the battlefield.
Redemption Earns Life: After Orca and Lykos make him see the error of his ways, Orca chooses to protect Mud Whale and nearly twice a couple of times while protecting its people. Thanks to this, he survives to the end of the series and lives the rest of his days living with Itia, Kannavi, Lykos and other people of the Mud Whale.
Reluctant Warrior: In his days as a soldier, Orca was constantly crying because of how much he hated to fight and kill people.
Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: He has dark skin like all members of the Empire and stands out for having white hair. He's the deadliest warrior of the Empire and the main villain for most of the series.
Split Personality: The trauma of being brainwashed by a Nous and forced to slaughter the natives of Kítrino caused Orca to develop a cold split personality while pushing all his weaknesses and regrets to his original personality which he hid from everyone except Kannavi.
The Starscream: He wants to take over the empire, and the very first Nous, Anthropos, that's in possession of the Empire.
Tragic Villain: Orca seeks to kill the people of the Mud Whale and obtain the Daimonas because he wants to steal the Nous Anthropos from the emperor and use its godlike power to turn back time and prevent himself from massacring the natives of Kítrino as he believes there is no other way for him to be happy again otherwise.
The Unfettered: Despite being a higher ranked member of the military, Orca doesn't care for following the traditions of the Empire and will do what he feels is necessary to achieve his goals. This includes allowing combat in the room that holds the Nous on Skylos (something considered forbidden by his people) and giving his archivist Itia sarka, which is only given to family members of the upper caste. He retroactively justifies the latter by arranging a marriage with her.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Lykos has a memory where he was giving her a piggyback ride to the military academy she was going to, and another character has a flashback of him crying and begging the Nous (presumably) to take more of his emotions away because he doesn't want to kill people. Eventually subverted, however. Not because he wasn't a sweet kid, but because it turns out that he's actually still the crybaby who hates death.
Vengeance Feels Empty: He finally takes revenge on Salinkári, the evil man who used a Nous to brainwash him and force him into slaughtering the people who saved him and gave him an ideal home. Afterwards, Orca breaks down crying because revenge won't bring back the people he lost.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Everything he does is to create a world where humanity can stand equal to the nouses and justifies his atrocities with the fact that if he succeeds, then the (surviving) victims can simply jump to a timeline where they never happened, ensuring a blissful life. In other words, Utopia Justifies the Means.
White Hair, Black Heart: He has white hair and is one of the primary villains.
World's Best Warrior: He's known as the most unbeatable soldier in the Empire. He's so powerful that it's said having him on a ship is the equivalent to a Nous, and it's why he can often get away with his antics, as the Empire can't afford to lose him without reason.

Itia

Voiced by: Lynn (Japanese)^{Foreign VAs}

An archivist initially assigned to Skylos and later Orca's fiancee − he's the one who gives her this name.

Ascended Extra: She first appears as a mere nameless archivist for the Skylos, but gradually gains prominence as Orca's plans progress. This is reinforced when he takes her as his fiancée and gives her a name, something normally reserved to high rank apatheias.
Babies Ever After: She and Orca have a son together at the end of the manga.
Brutal Honesty: She doesn't hold back on her opinion, which Orca appreciates.
Connected All Along: After Orca kills Salinkári, Itia realizes he was the man who burned her homeland, meaning that she and Orca have something important in common as both had their home and happiness taken from them by Salinkári.
Dark Mistress: Orca takes her as his fiancée and tells her all about his plan to steal the Nous Anthropos from the emperor. After Orca betrays the empire by stealing Kyma and a Nous warship, Itia gets concerned about becoming the wife of a national traitor.
Not So Stoic: She appears to be emotionless just like other members of the Empire, but Orca has been feeding her sarka and thus she has been slowly regaining her emotions.
Odd Name Out: Most people of the empire call themselves after animals, but Itia is named after the Greek word for willow which is a plant.
Parental Substitute: After Liontari becomes one of Orca's "jesters" and as Itia herself slowly regains emotions, she becomes the closest thing he probably ever had to a mother, although it remains subdued.
Safety in Indifference: After her hometown was burnt to the ground, she traveled to the empire so the Nous would take away her emotions and keep her from feeling sad.
Sole Survivor: She was from a small independent land that the Empire razed to the ground, leaving her as the only survivor.
Taking the Bullet: She uses her own body to shield Orca when Shuan briefly loses control of his artificial Daimonas powers. She survives thanks to Kannavi treating her immediately.
Token Good Teammate: Unlike Orca and Liontari, Itia isn't a threat to anyone in Falaina since her only job is being an archivist. Overall, she's the only morally sound and harmless member in Orca's faction. She's also the first of Orca's allies to side with the Falainans because she doesn't want their home to be destroyed like her own homeland was.

Arachne

Voiced by: Daisuke Hirakawa (Japanese), Brian Beacock (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arachni.png

Commander of Skylos.

Asshole Victim: While getting scapegoated by Orca as the reason why the Falaina Extermination Plan failed was a pretty mean fate, the fact that he intended to kill Lykos despite having orders not to (much to the unease of even his subordinates), was implied to be a Bad Boss, and killed Nibi means he kind of had it coming.
Defiant to the End: Right before Orca shoot him dead, Arachne calls him the one true Daímonas.
Pet the Dog: In Orca's flashback, Arachne seemed to get genuinely concerned when Orca reported he got injured because he ran out of bullets while fighting in the frontlines and kindly tells Orca to get some rest.

Kannavi

A doctor under Orca's employ.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: It seems he has a reputation for being eccentric and no one but Orca would want him as their doctor because he's a bit too eager to amputate limbs.
Childhood Friends: He has been Orca's Only Friend and confidante since their days as Child Soldiers.
The Confidant: Back when Orca was a low-ranked soldier, he could only openly talk about his fears and worries with Kannavi. Even now, Orca can only show his more vulnerable and sensitive personality in front of Kannavi.
The Medic: He was a doctor in the empire's army. Orca later made him the doctor of his faction.
Only Friend: He and Orca were only able to befriend each other during their teenage years at the army.
Reverse Psychology: He needs Liontari to kill the priests that are blocking the use of Thymia in the battleship Karcharías. Since Liontari is unlikely to listen to him, Kannavi says he will ask the Insect Cage to do it because they're Orca's favorite Child Soldiers. Liontari immediately goes to kill the priests for the sake of getting Orca's praise.
Satellite Character: As Orca's doctor and Only Friend, Kannavi's role is to look after Orca's physical and emotional health.
Undying Loyalty: Kannavi repeatedly shows his loyalty lies with Orca instead of the empire. When Orca is going to risk his life to save the Mud Whale, Kannavi had to be restrained by Lykos to not follow Orca to a potential death.
What Is This Feeling?: In the past, his friendship with Orca granted him the capability to feel happiness for the first time, but he can't recognize the feeling because the Nous takes it away almost immediately.

The Emperor *UNMARKED SPOILERS*

The Emperor / Skiá

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emperor_children_of_the_whales.png

The Emperor of the Allied Empire.

Affably Evil: He plans to cause the Kataklysmós and kill all life to merge their hearts into a perfect being. He's also polite, cheerful and friendly to Chakuro, who he considers an old friend.
Artificial Human: Like Neri and Aíma, he's a lifeform born of a Nous. He originally didn't look human, but changed his form to look like Chakuro who he met in a past life.
Big Bad: After Orca makes a Heel–Face Turn, the Emperor become the definite main villain of the story.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: He made the Empire commit atrocities throughout history, but he isn't malicious or power-hungry. All he really wants is to fulfill the wish of Chakuro's past life and create a peaceful world. Unfortunately, after thousands of years of watching humans start conflicts and war over and over again, he has decided the only way to achieve world peace is by merging all humans into a perfect being. Chakuro tries to appeal to him with ideals and compassion, but it doesn't work because Skiá isn't human and humans are too short-lived to understand things from the perspective of an immortal nonhuman being like him.
The Caligula: Once he decides Anthropos has absorbed enough emotions from the people of the empire, the Emperor sets out to trigger the Kataklysmós and lets his own empire sink in the Sea of Sand now that his "mom" doesn't need to feed from its residents.
A Child Shall Lead Them: He's an emperor, yet looks the same age as Chakuro (14 years old).
Demonic Possession: In the final arc, he possesses Chakuro's body after his body is destroyed. He later gets expelled from Chakuro's body and devoured by Liontari.
The Emperor: He's the ruler of The Empire and acts as a representative of the Nous Anthropos that the people of the empire regard as a god.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": For most of the series, people only refer to him as "Emperor" or "His Majesty". His name is later revealed to be Skiá and the one who named him was Chakuro in a past life.
Evil Twin: He looks like a dark-skinned, white-haired Chakuro, but lacks any empathy for humans and his goal is causing the Kataklysmós.
Freudian Excuse: In the distant past, Skiá met and befriended one of Chakuro's past lives and learned from him about the joys that humans find in the world. Then tragedy struck when the first Falainans destroyed the past Chakuro's village. Skiá wants to create a world where Chakuro doesn't have to suffer like that ever again, but since there's going to be war and violence as long as all humans are separate beings, he aims to merge their hearts and create a perfect being.
Identical Stranger: Aside from having dark skin and white hair, he's the spitting image of Chakuro. Not to mention that he also has hypergraphia.
Lack of Empathy: When he decides it's time for Anthropos to travel to Kivotós and trigger the Kataklysmós, the Emperor watches with a smile as the empire and its residents sink into the Sea of Sand. After all, he considers the fall of an empire and its people to be trivial in comparison to his plan of starting a new evolution of humankind.
The Man Behind the Man: While Orca does have plans of his own, the Emperor is the one who sent him to take control over Falaina.
Meaningful Name: Chakuro's past incarnation named him Skiá, which means "shadow" in Greek. Skiá liked the name because shadows appear wherever there's light. It also symbolizes him being Chakuro's shadow self.
Really 700 Years Old: He looks like a young teen, but the truth is he's older than the Empire itself and has lived for centuries.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: His original form was a furry and fluffy dog-like creature.
Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: He has white hair and dark skin to make him stand out as The Emperor. It also helps telling him apart from Chakuro since both look identical except for the hair and skin colors.
Sudden Name Change: In the English translation of Volume 20, his name is translated as "Sukia". From Volume 21 on, his name was corrected to "Skiá", the Greek word for shadow.
Telepathy: He can read the thoughts of people nearby and communicate with Nous across great distances.
Visionary Villain: His ultimate goal is to create a new lifeform with a perfect heart that can't be tainted by evil. For the sake of that, he plans to trigger the Kataklysmós where all human hearts and lives will be turned into a perfect being.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He believes the source of all pain and sorrow is that humans endlessly fight among themselves over their differences. Therefore, he'll end humanity and merge their hearts to create a perfect being, which will put an end to all tragedies.
White Hair, Black Heart: He has white hair and aims to bring about The End of the World as We Know It.

Salinkári *UNMARKED SPOILERS*

Salinkári

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/salinkari_cover.png

A commander of the Allied Empire. He and Orca have a strong hatred for each other.

Asshole Victim: He ends up getting brutally murdered by Liontari. Given how utterly evil he was and the hell he made Orca live through, he had his fate coming.
Dying Curse: Right before Orca stabs him, Salinkári claims the Mud Whale is doomed because the chéri parasyte has infected it. He curses Orca to watch his sister's paradise be destroyed just like Kítrino. Subverted as he didn't die after that.
Facial Markings: He has a tattoo on the left side of his face.
For the Evulz: He claimed that he sent Orca to kill all the natives of Kítrino because the island would become a military base for the empire. Orca was beyond pissed when he realized the island wasn't turned into a base and even more so when Salinkári openly admits he just wanted to make Orca's life hell.
Hate Sink: On top of being the main cause of Orca's fall into villainy, he's an unrepentant Jerkass whose only purpose is destroying hope and causing suffering for others, especially Orca.
Hope Crusher: He hates hope and salvation, making it his personal goal to destroy Orca's hopes and throw him into the depths of despair.
Iconic Item: He wears a distinct snail-shaped earring.
Jerkass: He's an asshole who would beat the shit out of young Orca for no reason.
Laser-Guided Karma: Orca ultimately takes his revenge and stabs Salinkári for destroying the only happiness he ever knew.
Mad Artist: In his spare time, he makes paintings of the ocean, which are considered heretical by the empire. Before he attacks the Mud Whale, he also makes a very creepy-looking painting of the ship.
Torture Technician: After Orca gets captured by the Empire, Salinkári brutally tortures him for an extended period of time, leaving Orca almost completely broken in body and spirit.

United Kingdom of Siderasia

Amonlogia

Rochalízo

Rochalízo Anastenagmós Neiye-Imisukin Emarika Antípatros Apó Amonlogia

Voiced by: KENN (Japanese)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rohalito_all.png

The fourth son of the Duke of Amonlogia who appears in volume 5 to "colonize" the Mud Whale with his small group of followers. He eventually cultivates friendly relationships (sort of) with its people.

Benevolent Boss: Hence his subordinates' loyalty to him. According to Foni and Fterna, he once sold everything he had to buy them and save them from becoming cannon fodder, and he's taken good care of them since.
Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Behind his massive ego, there's a deeply insecure and abused child who's desperate to earn his father's love, even if it means betraying his friends.
Expository Hairstyle Change: After he decides to leave Amonlogia and stay at the Mud Whale for good, Rochalízo stops curling his hair.
Glory Seeker: He set out to find new islands and/or resources. Even after boarding the Mud Whale, he demands detours for when he thinks he might be onto a discovery.
Green-Eyed Monster: To an extent, he resents Suou for being everything Rochalizo isn't: someone who's needed and beloved by his people, compared to Rochalizo who has spent his life struggling against his reputation as the "useless" son.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Starts off as a short-lived antagonist, before becoming something of an ally. Then, it's revealed he was Evil All Along... but the guilt tears him apart, and it's after Dumpling confesses to helping the people of the Mud Whale that Rochalizo realizes he should've sided with them from the start.
I Choose to Stay: Temporarily, anyway. When the Mud Whale is ready to part ways from Amonlogia, Rochalizo makes the last-minute decision to join them on their journey, citing that he wants to see where they settle.
Ignore the Fanservice: Even though he was disappointed when he found out the people of the Mud Whale aren't nudists, he passes up the chance of watching the women shower naked under the rain because he's still hung up on the vision he saw at the Tower of Time.
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: His claim over Falaina quickly appears more comical than threatening, as everyone can see he's not a bad guy at heart. Even his followers.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Self-centered, haughty, and rude. Also, very prone to Pet the Dog.
An Offer You Can't Refuse: In Ch. 22, to Chakuro and Lykos, whom he needs to move the boat: take him or die (later turned "take him or he'll spill the secret he's keeping for their sake").
Overly Long Name: The only named character who has more than Only One Name in fact. He's Rochalízo Anastenagmós Neiye-Imisukin Emarika Antípatros Apó Amonlogia. Suou manages to repeat it perfectly, to everyone's shock.
Regretful Traitor: He brings the Mud Whale to Amonlogia just to sell the Marked as soldiers to the Kingdom of Siderasia, but it's obvious he doesn't like what he's doing. Ultimately, he realizes he does care about the Falainans too much and rebels against his father to free them.
Secret-Keeper: Thanks to Lykos, he's among those who know why the Marked have short lives, but promises to keep it a secret (though he's not above using it to blackmail...).
Sympathetic Slave Owner: He originally bought the Giganta sisters from slavery, having sold everything he had to take care of them by getting them shelter and a job as his bodyguards.
Taking the Bullet: He protects his father in this fashion, though he turns out to be unharmed due to his outfit being bulletproof.
The Unfavorite: He's not exactly well regarded within his family, hence why he wants to conquer Falaina and bring it back to his country as a trophy.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Simply put: Gamba weeps in joy over Rochalizo having finally made a friend while watching him bicker with Suou over Rochalizo's map.
Was It All a Lie?: When he betrays the Mud Whale. He desperately tries to convince himself that it was; Suou isn't convinced. Guess who ends up being right?
"Well Done, Son" Guy: He wants nothing more than his father's approval.

Duke Dáchtyla

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duke_dachtyla.png

The Duke of Amonlogia, and Rochalizo's father.

Abusive Parents: He's the reason for Rochalizo's issues, and he outright strikes him for his failures. With that said, while he's always been strict with Rochalizo, it's implied that his behaviour in the present is uncharacteristically harsh.
Heel–Face Turn: Ultimately, he has a change of heart and lets the Mud Whale go.
Heel Realization: After Rochalizo takes a bullet for him, Dáchtyla realizes how his actions endangered his own family and calls himself a monster.
Necessarily Evil: Despite being aware that he's Not Himself, he continues on because it doesn't change the fact that his land is slowly dying and subjugating the Mud Whale can help save it.
Not Himself: In sharp contrast to his treatment of the people of the Mud Whale, he's apparently someone who usually friendly to strangers and welcomes them with open arms. Dachtyla himself is aware of this and blames the Mud Whale for messing with his head.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: In his younger days, he was a good-hearted kid like Rochalizo. However, people taking advantage of his good will and his growing desperation to protect Amonlogia caused him to become an Abusive Parent and an enemy to the people of the Mud Whale.

Deíktis

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deiktis.png

Dachtyla's second son and Rochalizo's older brother.

Aloof Big Brother: When Rochalizo returns to Amonlogia after months of being missing, Deíktis is much more concerned about his own hair and is dismissive of his youngest brother in general. However, he's also the only one of Rochalizo's brothers to explicitly reconcile with him by the end of the arc.
Fearless Fool: Much to his subordinates' dismay, he's suicidally overconfident and attacks (what he believes to be) the Empire's ships on sight. Rochalizo notes he's always been like this.
If It's You, It's Okay: He's straight, but likes Suou so much that he wants him as his lover and keeps conveniently forgetting he's a guy.
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: He still has feelings for Suou even after finding out he's a guy, but Sami's ribbon makes him wrongly think Suou already has a girlfriend and asks him to be happy with the person he loves.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's vain and self-centered, but also the sort of person who personally carries injured subordinates to safety and is the only one of Rochalizo's brothers to express unease over their father's treatment of the Mud Whale.
Love at First Sight: Once he takes one look Suou, he immediately wants to take "her" as his mistress. He keeps forgetting from thereon that Suou's a man, not a woman.
Punch-Clock Villain: He's just following his father's orders, even if he doesn't like it, and doesn't do anything particularly hostile.

Dumpling

Dumpling Sfaíra

An envoy from Amonlogia.

Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Ginshu calls him "Uncle Dumpling" because of his round appearance... only to surprise everyone involved because that's his actual name.
Fond Memories That Could Have Been: He thinks about how if Amonlogia had accepted the people of the Mud Whale like they wanted, they could've become great friends to Amonlogia.
His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Ginshu calls him "Uncle Dumpling" because his round face resembles a dumpling. Then it turns out Dumpling is his actual name.
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: He threatens to report the Mud Whale's covert activities to Duke Dachtyla, but this is only after he spilled useful information to them and belatedly realized he shouldn't have, and he continues helping them anyway until he gives up and accepts he's on their side.

Rochalízo's Subordinates

In General

Laser-Guided Karma: The only subordinates in on Rochalizo's plan are unceremoniously killed by Ouni, while those who survive were unaware and immediately try to help the Mud Whale when they realize.
Locked Out of the Loop: Most of them had no idea that Rochalizo planned to betray the Mud Whale.

Gamba

Voiced by: Ryuunosuke Watanuki (Japanese), Bob Buchholz (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ganva_1.png

The oldest among Rochalízo's subordinates.

Cool Old Guy: He's a grandfather and yet nothing but kind and friendly to the Mud Whale, and calls out Duke Dachtyla for his treatment of them.

Chasmourito

Voiced by: Yuka Nukui (Japanese)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hasmurito.png

Rochalízo's foster brother and Gamba's grandson.

Childhood Friends: Chasmourito's mother was Rochalizo's wet nurse, making them brothers of a sort.
Older Than They Look: Chasmourito looks like a little kid, shocking Chakuro and co. when they realize that he's Rochalizo's age and therefore older than them.
Token Mini-Moe: He's the shortest member of Rochalízo's crew, looking like a kid, even though he's the same age as Rochalízo.

Fterna

Voiced by: Ayaka Asai (Japanese)

A large woman acting as one of Rochalízo's guards.

Action Girl: She acts as her group's brawn.
Badass Normal: She's able to fight head-to-head against thymia users using nothing but physical might.
Cleavage Window: She wears a dress with an opening showing off her cleavage.
Gentle Giant: She's friendly and is very tall because she and her sister come from a country of giants.
Love at First Sight: She quickly develops a crush Shuan after seeing him once—complete with her own (completely false) delusions about what he's like. According to Foni, this happens frequently.
Loving a Shadow: She has the habit of idealizing her crushes. For example, she stops Shuan from attacking Ouni and claims he shouldn't be the kind of man who would do such a thing because it doesn't match her mental version of him.
No Guy Wants an Amazon: According to Foni, Fterna tends to scare the men she's attracted to away with her tallness and immense strength.
Serial Romeo: Apparently, Fterna has a tendency to fall in Love at First Sight with random guys that she overidealizes, but she gets rejected every single time and looks for a new crush.

Foni

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phone_1_0.png

Another of Rochalízo's guards and Fterna's younger sister.

Blemished Beauty: She has a large scar across her nose and still looks attractive.
Distracted by the Sexy: Just as she was about to attack Suou due to mistaking him for a threat, she can do nothing but blush and stare at his naked body.

Donti

The mechanic of Rochalízo's crew.

Big Ol' Eyebrows: She has thick and hairy eyebrows.
Girlish Pigtails: When her gender is finally revealed, Donti turns out to be a girl wearing her hair in twin braids.
Samus Is a Girl: Due to all the headgear she wears, it's difficult to tell—both in-universe and out—that Donti is a girl.
Verbal Tic: She tends to end her sentences with "nano". The English translation makes it "you know".
Verbal Tic Name: She's called "Nano" by Nezu because of her habit of adding "nano" at the end of her sentences. The English tanslation changes the Verbal Tic to "you know" and Nezu's nickname to "Yano".
Wrench Wench: It's impossible to tell at first because of the equipment on her face, but Donti is really a young girl working as a mechanic.

The Nous

In General — MASSIVE SPOILERS

Strange aquatic-looking beings that live below each island.

Eldritch Abomination: Their forms are absolutely bizarre to look at.
Emotion Eater: All of them except Falaina are this.
Monster Is a Mommy: In the case of the twins Neri and Aima, Falaina is said to be their mother. It isn't currently known if other Nous can have "children" too.
Physical God: The Nous are believed by the Empire to be the "bodies" of the gods themselves.
Power at a Price: The Nous grant humans thymia in exchange for their emotions. In the case of Falaina, however, it consumes the life force of thymia users.
Taking You with Me: An unintentional example. When Nous are killed, the island they're attached to sinks, also dragging down those who don't escape in time.
Vampiric Draining: Falaina is unusual in that it consumes the life force of the thymia users as its nourishment. Whether or not there are other Nous that do this, or just don't consume emotions isn't clear.

Other

Hammy

Voiced by: Ayaka Asai (Japanese), Cristina Valenzuela (English)^{Foreign VAs}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cutewhalecat1.png

A cute, catlike creature that is found with Lykos on Skyros.

Adopt the Food: At least Nezu initially assumed Chakuro brought Hammy to the Mud Whale as food and was fattening him while everyone else treated him as a pet.
Mix-and-Match Critters: He's a cat-like animal with a fish tail.
Only Known by Their Nickname: "Hammy" is just a name that Nezu came up with, since he wanted to eat him. His real name is Afti.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: He resembles a Scottish Fold cat with big eyes, fluffy fur and a cute fish-like tail.
Right-Hand Cat: Hammy/Afti is really Orca's pet and the rudder for the battleship Karcharías who he inherited as a family heirloom. At Karcharías, Orca sits at a throne with Hammy/Afti on his lap.
Team Pet: He's an adorable animal hanging out with the main characters during their adventures.
