    Dr. Regina Babylon 

Voiced by: Minako Kotobuki (Japanese), Terri Doty (English), Lupita Leal (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/regina_babylon_anime.png
A brilliant scientist, sorceress and engineer who lived 5000 years ago in the Partheno Civilization. She created the floating islands of Babylon, as well as the gynoids who manage them.
  • The Ace: Like Touya, she has affinities for every magic element. She's also a genius who built countless magic artifacts, the islands of Babylon, as well as the Frame Gears.
  • Badass Boast: The first time she met Touya face to face.
    Regina: "In the young, nubile flesh. Doctor Regina Babylon. Foremost magitechnician of the Partheno Kingdom, scholar supreme and your destined lover...."
  • Black Bra and Panties: Professor Regina Babylon wears a pair of lacy black panties with an absurdly short skirt, specifically for Touya's benefit.
  • Brain Uploading: She uploaded herself into the last gynoid.
  • Deuteragonist: After her resurrection in Light Novel's Volume 10, Regina becomes one of the story's secondary protagonists.
  • Fling a Light into the Future: She created Babylon so that Touya would be able to defeat the Fraze in the future, 5,000 years after they destroyed her civilization, and set up tests with her knowledge of the future to ensure that only Touya would be able to access Babylon and its keepers. And to mess with him.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: If not for her clairvoyance to see the world 5,000 years into the future, Touya would never be able to save the world from the Phrase. She is largely the reason why Touya became The Hero in the present, as she is revealed to be playing on his goodwill to start her resurrection process after all the Bablyon sisters and their pieces were all located.
  • Horny Scientist: Towards Touya and other females.
  • Labcoat of Science and Medicine: She's a scientist wear a white laboratory coat.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: She created the terminal gynoids that manage Babylon, and designed them to be highly sexual. In fact, it's revealed that each of them are designed with a fragment of her personality. In addition, she delights in teasing Touya, such as flashing her panties in plain view.
  • Love Before First Sight: She fell in love with Touya after looking into the future and seeing his arrival from five thousand years in the past. All of her wonders of Babylon, as well as the nine gynoids that attend them, were made just for him.
  • Master of All: She has affinities for every magic element.
  • Ms. Exposition: She specifically contacts Touya from 5000 years in the past to explain to him about Babylon and what happened to the Partheno Civilization.
  • My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: Before the Phrase invaded Partheno was already in decline as a civilization and when she talks about it she gets into criticizing the rulers of the time and has shown a preference for the current era the cast is living in.
  • Occidental Otaku: In a sense, she gained an obsession with anime shown by Touya from his smartphone, mecha in particular.
  • Posthumous Character: She is long dead by the time the series starts. However, through time magic and Brain Uploading, she is still able to have an active role in the story.
  • The Professor: Aside from the fact that she's known as Dr. Regina Babylon, she is an eccentric, genius inventor with more than a few oddities about her.
  • Robosexual: Pure Liora, aka Airframe #20, was her sexual partner.
  • Rule of Cool: She have a tendency to build things with this in mind.
  • Science Wizard: Despite being an accomplished scholar in magic she has shown great interest towards the science and technology of Earth.
  • Super-Senses: Specifically touch. Her Analyze Null spell allows her to gain an intricate understanding of how something works simply by touching it. It's this spell that made her such a skilled engineer.
  • The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Regina Babylon left a message for Touya inside Francesca. By using magic which bends time and space, she is able to speak directly to Touya from the past, even though her message has been waiting for him for 5,000 years.

    Dr. Deborah Elks 
Another scientist from Partheno who frequently came to blows with Dr. Babylon.
  • Maker of Monsters: One of her creations was a dragon outfitted with cybernetic enhancements. Dr. Babylon admonished her for the idea, as she would have to kill a dragon just to make one, which would quickly turn the dragons against humanity.
  • Stupid Scientist: Every single one of her creations had some kind of glaring flaw in its design that prevented it from being useful. For example, her Dominant Resonance Needles were artifacts that were to be embedded in the heads of magic beasts, giving a human complete control over them. However, they drastically reduced the beast's lifespan, and the controller could only command one beast at a time, lest they suffer debilitating headaches.
  • Unknown Rival: She saw herself as Dr. Babylon's rival. Dr. Babylon on the other hand didn't think about her much.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Like Dr. Babylon, several of her creations and research resurfaced in the modern day and were utilized by unsavory individuals. Special mention goes to a box that contained the aforementioned cyborg dragon, as well as the tools to command an entire army of wraiths that could possess humans.

    Alerius Palerius 
Known as the Sage of Hours, he was a researcher that specialized in Space-time magic. He lived on Palerius island, where he created the Dimensional Disruptor.
  • Deflector Shields: He used a device on Palerius island to surround it with an immense magical shield to protect his people from the Phrase.
  • Famous Ancestor: He is this to Queen Mentor Central Palerius & King Ludio Primula Palerius.
  • Place of Protection: He lead people to his island and created the barrier to protect them from the Phrase.
  • Portal Door: He created the Dimensional Disruptor in the hopes of fleeing to the Reverse World with his people.
  • Posthumous Character: He passed away about 5000 years prior to the start of the series.
  • Space Master: Specialized in the research of Space-Time magic.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The massive barrier he erected around Palerius Island ended up causing his people more harm than good in the long run. While it did protect his people from any Phrase outside the barrier, it didn't stop any Phrase that crossed into their world from inside it. The barrier also caused the formation of many mana wellsprings across the island, which lead to the island becoming infested with ferocious behemoths.

The Babylon Gynoids

    In General 
  • Abhorrent Admirer: Touya is not enthusiastic about their advances, although they clearly turn him on (by design).
  • Censor Steam: In the anime, they can generate mist to cover their naugthy bits when bathing, In ep 12 of season 2 it can be seen to do this while scrubbing Sakura who has Censor Suds.
  • The Chooser of the One: They were directed with tests that would acknowledge someone as a worthy owner. Regina, however, deliberately rigged it so that only Touya would pass them.
  • Cyborg: Francesca proudly announces that they are partly mechanical, but have biological components as well. Specifically their sex organs.
  • Hero's Slave Harem: After imprinting him as their master, all nine robots want nothing more than to be "used" by Touya, with Cesca in particular being extremely aggressive about it.
  • The Mistress: They were given to Touya to provide lovers supplemental to his nine wives. None of them are against the arrangement, though they likely wouldn't object to being his wives. Flora, in fact, suggested just that.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: They all prefer to be known by the last part of their names: Cesca, Rosetta, Flora, Monica, Liora, Noel, Fam, Porsche, and Tika,
  • Only the Worthy May Pass: Only someone with all six affinities, and who can pass their "compatibility tests", gains the right to own their island and themselves.
  • Property of Love: All of them eagerly consider themselves Touya's property and will do any request he demands.
  • Psychic Link: They are capable of sharing thoughts and ideas with each other.
  • Really 700 Years Old: They're all actually nearly 5,000 years old.
  • Ridiculously Human Robot: The gynoids are magically-created Cyborgs with appearances and behaviors almost indistinguishable from real women. This was done intentionally, to make them sexually appealing to Touya.
  • Sex Bot: They were designed by Professor Babylon to be capable of sexual intercourse. In fact, the Professor herself used Pure Liora as her partner.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: They are part science and part magic, and their only common physical quality are their gold-colored eyes.

    Francesca 

Voiced by: Rumi Ōkubo (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English), Jocelyn Robles (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/francesca_anime.png
The first gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Garden. Like the rest of her "sisters", she has a dirty mind...and hers is probably the lewdest of all.
  • Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Double Subverted. In their first meeting, Francesca walked around in her panties as part of an elaborate Secret Test of Character, enticing him to act on his lust. When he refuses, she tells Touya that if he had tried to assault her, she would have booted him ass-first off of the island. However, after passing the test, she makes it clear that she would not oppose anything Touya tried to do to her, at any time.
  • Cat Fight: Francesca and Rosetta briefly get into an argument when Rosetta calls the Garden "useless" compared to her Workshop.
  • Do You Want to Copulate?: Early in her meeting with Touya, Francesca says that she is capable of intercourse, that her parts are in mint condition, and that he should feel free to use her at any time.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Cesca may be excessively perverted and sex-craved, but even she has zero tolerance for pedophiles and rapists.
  • Exact Words: In Episode 11, Francesca calls Touya "Master" (in Gratuitous English) and the girls are confused about what that word means. She tells them it means "husband" (danna-sama). Because most Japanese words have more than one meaning, she's technically correct—under Japanese gender dynamics, "danna" does mean "master". Faced with an angered Linze, a panicked and annoyed Touya tries to correct her by saying she instead means "shujin"...which also means "master", but is an even stronger word for "husband" (more specifically, "master of the household"). This, naturally, only ticks off Linze even more, and then Cesca hits them with one final homerun by stating "I showed him my panties, and Touya became my husband/master".note ...which makes all of the other girls have a Mass "Oh, Crap!" moment.
  • Extreme Libido: She was built with Professor Babylon's sex drive. As such, the only thing she cares about—all day, every day—is convincing or tricking Touya into having sex with her.
  • Green Thumb: As the terminal gynoid of the Babylon Garden, she's quite knowledgeable about plants.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: The only thing Francesca wants is to have sex with Touya, no matter the situation or occasion. He refers to her having a very "pink" mind.
  • Meido: After Touya becomes her master, she serves him(as one his personal maid) and his estate as a maid.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Cesca finds out that Sue's fiance is a known rapist and pedophile, she flatly tells the party to kill him. Touya protests that that would cause an international incident, and Cesca says she doesn't care because there'd be one less pedophile rapist in the world. Her "sisters", Rosetta, Flora and Monica agree completely.
  • The Peeping Tom: After Touya creates a public bath and hot spring, Francesca insists on going into the bath with him. When he refuses, she tries to climb over the wall that separates the boys' and girls' baths, only to discover that Touya booby-trapped it with Paralysis.
  • Pink Is Erotic: Touya describes the sex-obsessed Cesca as having a very "pink" mind. The term is simply used as a metaphor, but Cesca and her fellow gynoids do actually have pink ribbons as part of their design.
  • Rei Ayanami Expy: Francesca is an Artificial Human Emotionless Girl with blue-green colored hair. She is introduced as a Love Interest for Touya right off the bat, and is one of the most forward and sexually-aggressive of his suitors.
  • Robot Girl: Downplayed. She has a few organic parts that were created by magic or an amalgamation of machine and magic as she calls it. She's incapable of bearing offspring but is capable of intercourse, a fact that Touya regards as Too Much Information.
  • Scenery Censor: During her first few scenes, leaves from the plants around her act as a censor for the fact that she's only wearing panties. Also, when she tries to peep on Touya at the hot springs bath, she seemingly invokes it by projecting clouds of steam to cover her naughty bits.
  • Too Kinky to Torture: At one point, Touya accidentally leaves her behind on Babylon after the party finishes a mission. When he finally retrieves her, she asks if he's into "Abandonment Play" and suggests that he could leave her naked in the middle of a city, helpless to fend off what all sorts of creeps and lechers would do to her...
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #23.

    High Rosetta 

Voiced by: Madoka Asahina (Japanese), Jad Saxton (English), Erika Ugalde (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_rosetta_1.png
The second gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Workshop.
  • A-Cup Angst: When showing Touya around the Workshop, she casually asks if he prefers large or small breasts. He promptly orders her to drop the question.
  • Anti-Magic: During Touya's compatibility trial, she wears a dress that nullifies magic that targets it, preventing him from burning her skirt or flipping it to see her panties.
  • Cat Fight: Francesca and Rosetta briefly get into an argument when Rosetta calls the Garden "useless" compared to her Workshop.
  • Dude, She's Like in a Coma: In the novel, she did her registration kiss before Touya woke up in the morning. Averted in the anime as she does it immediately after he passes her test.
  • Genki Girl: Compared to Francesca's Emotionless Girl personality, Rosetta is far more lively.
  • Ultimate Blacksmith: As the terminal of Gynoid of the Workshop, she's a very capable craftswoman. She has shown to be capable of teaching regular people about creating bicycles.
  • Wrench Wench: She's the only person (besides Touya) that can use the Workshop.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #27.

    Bell Flora 

Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto (Japanese), Valca Ponzarelli (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bell_flora_anime.png
The third gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Alchemy Ward.
  • Alchemy Is Magic: Well-versed in potion making and other alchemical work.
  • Berserk Button: When Touya suggests that Sakura's amnesia may be an after-effect of her treatment, Flora takes offense and suggests cutting off Touya's member and regrowing it to test out the theory.
  • Buxom Beauty Standard: Touya describes her as having the largest chest in the series, and they often cause other girls to be envious of her figure. The anime even adds bouncing on every take her chest is on focus.
  • Designer Babies: Flora at one point implies that each of Touya's wives will have at least one child with him at some point in the future, and then not-so-subtly suggests that he take her as a wife. Touya retorts that the gynoids are sterile, to which she brags that as the one who controls the Alchemy Lab, she can make children at any time.
  • Hospital Hottie: The Medic amongst the gynoid, wears a tight nurse outfit and knows how to use it.
  • Secret Test of Character: She grabs Touya's hand and forces him to fondle her breast, but he snatches it away. She then starts to undress herself, only to be stopped by him again. This meant that he'd passed her compatibility tests.
  • Thanks for the Mammary: As stated above, her compatibility test on Touya has her invoking this on herself.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #21.

    Fredmonica 

Voiced by: Miharu Hanai (Japanese), Brittany Lauda (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fredmonica_anime.png
The fourth gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Hangar.
  • Ace Pilot: She's the best Framegear pilot among the gynoids.
  • Black Bra and Panties: She wears a pair of lacy black panties under her clothing. The fact that her own attacks expose them is what leads to her defeat during the compatibility test, with Touya lampshading that she looks a bit too young to wear those.
  • Cute Little Fangs: The anime shows her with a small fang visible whenever she talks.
  • Cutesy Dwarf: She was modeled on a dwarf, rather than a human.
  • Defeat by Modesty: She is "defeated" by Touya by pointing out that he can see her panties while she attacks him.
  • Fiery Redhead: She has red hair and a fiery temper.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Her personality quirk is that she has a very short fuse.
  • Idiot Hair: She has a hair that stands and curves backwards, signaling her childish character.
  • Let Me at Him!: She suggested to have Prince Zabune be wacked by her wrench when other gynoids are suggesting assassination methods. She does get involved with Framegear battles.
  • The Napoleon: She's very small and very short-tempered.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite being a little girl, she can easily carry a wrench that's twice her size.
  • Token Mini-Moe: She's the smallest and most childlike of the Babylon Gynoids.
  • Trial by Combat: Her compatibility test is an actual fight.
  • Unkempt Beauty: Unlike the other gynoids, she has a very natural look, Messy Hair and a loose necktie.
  • Wrench Wench: She is the manager of the hanger for Framegear robots.
  • Wrench Whack: She uses a giant monkey wrench as a tool and weapon.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #28.

    Preliora 

Voiced by: Moe Kahara (Japanese), Kelly Greenshield (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/preliora_anime.png
The fifth gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Rampart.
  • Ambiguous Gender: After she explains that she was once the Professor's lover, she tells Touya that she's fine with either penetrating or being penetrated. He wonders what that could mean...
  • Anti-Climax: She instantly gives Touya control of the Rampart when she learns he already has 4 pieces.
  • Bear Hug: During her "registration kiss" with Touya, Liora's inhuman strength almost smothers Touya—especially since she holds the kiss for an abnormal amount of time. When he demands an explanation, she says that since he's the first male she'd ever kissed, she was in somewhat of a daze.
  • Love at First Sight: Sorta. Regina Babylon left the decision to determine compatibility to the gynoids, and in most cases, it's the equivalent of falling in love. In Liora's case, she determined she was compatible with Touya almost immediately after they met.
  • Sexbot: She was Professor Babylon's sexual partner millennia ago.
  • Super Prototype: Subverted. She was the first of the gynoids built, but explains that this doesn't make her their leader or better.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #20.

    Pamela Noel 

Voiced by: Misaki Watada (Japanese), Lindsay Seidel (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pmraner_anime.png
The sixth gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Tower.
  • Cute Oversized Sleeves: The sleeves in her uniform go way past her hands, adding to her cute appearance.
  • Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes: Since she's almost always sleeping, she has droopy half-closed eyes when she's awake.
  • Food as Bribe: The only way to wake her up is to offer her food, and the only way to win her compatibility is to promise her to provide hot food and a warm bed on a regular basis.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She looks like a young girl with her hair tied into low pigtails.
  • Idiot Hair: She has what looks like a thick ahoge on top of her head, signifying her quirkness.
  • Lazy Bum: She was created with the portion of Professor Babylon's mind that invoked laziness.
  • Sleepyhead: She spends most of her time sleeping, and can only be awakened with food. Justified because the teleportation circle which leads to her Tower has been destroyed, and thus no one will ever find the Tower without first finding the Rampart.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #25.

    Iris Fam 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/irisfam_design.png
The seventh gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Library.
  • Cute Bookworm: She has an obsession in reading.
  • Hot Librarian: She is literally the manager of the Library, and is a very cute girl that wears glasses.
  • The Insomniac: Unlike the other gynoids, she has been awake for 5000 years, reading every book in the Library the entire time.
  • The Power of Language: Well-versed in multiple languages of the Parthenon era and can also trace influences of it in more modern language.
  • Renaissance Woman: Downplayed. She has already read all the books in the Babylon Library that cover vast knowledge in multiple fields but is rarely made to work aside from answering questions on what she read.
  • Riddle Me This: Her compatibility test is a series of riddles created by Professor Babylon.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: She's the only gynoid who wears glasses and the core personality she inherited from the Professor is intellectual thirst.
  • Stoic Spectacles: She wears glasses and can come off as very cold.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #24.

    Lileleparshe 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lileleparshe_design.png
The eighth gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Storehouse.
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: She's characterized as being highly energetic and cute, and unbelievably clumsy.
  • Genki Girl: She's very energetic and excitable, to the point of running into Touya when first meeting him.
  • Love at First Sight: Like Liora, she transfers control of the Warehouse to Touya when she learns he controls all of the parts except the Laboratory.
  • Meet Cute: She runs into Touya while welcoming him to the Warehouse.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her clumsy management of the wares under her care resulted in a few being dropped to the surface, such as the jewel which reanimates the dead in Oedo, bracelets of defense and magic resistance that enabled a coup in Regulus, and a few other incidents that Touya and the others have to clean up.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #26.

    Atlantica 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/atlantica_design.png
The ninth gynoid Touya comes into contact with, who manages the Research Laboratory.
  • Comedic Lolicon: She's apparently the 'lolicon' aspect of Dr. Babylon. This is usually Played for Laughs, but later on, she crosses the line when she begs Touya to let her strip down naked and sleep in the same bed as his daughters. He forbids her from ever stepping foot outside the Research Lab, and in no uncertain terms threatens to kill her if she so much as goes near any of his kids.
  • Covert Pervert: On the outside, she is well-mannered, hard-working, and responsible. Although, in actuality, she is very perverted when it comes to little girls.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Understandably, she's the only of the Babylon Sisters that Touya and his wives are openly hostile towards. Fellow Gynoid Monica isn't too fond of her either.
  • Nosebleed: She gets one of these whenever she cuddles Monica.
  • You Are Number 6: She is Airframe #22.
