Argos Test Flight
A Multinational Team of test pilots assigned to the XFJ project, a joint US-Japan program to improve the performance of the Type-94 Shiranui. Ironically, only Yuuya has an actual test-pilot background; the other three pilots are combat veterans, and none of them are Japanese. The flight itself is commanded by First Lieutenant Ibrahim Dogulu of the UN Army, while XFJ plan's project manager is First Lieutenant Yui Takamura of the Japanese Imperial Royal Guard.
Second Lieutenant Yuuya Bridges
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese), Corey Hartzog (English)
- Ace Pilot: He's a very talented pilot, and has a knack for understanding the TSFs he flies, but prior to the story he has no real combat experience with the BETA. Of course, that all changes in episode 9.
- Battle Harem: Much like Takeru Shirogane in the main series, he's a Chick Magnet for female TSF pilots.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Yui.
- Character Development: Grows from being whiny, bratty & selfish test pilot into a mature & downright dangerous Eishi.
- Clueless Chick-Magnet: Yuuya has a talent for attracting girls. Yui, Yifei, Cryska and Inia are definitely attracted, while Tarisa is hinted to be interested, Stella admits to be interested, and Sharon appears to still have feelings for him. He somehow remains unaware.
- Deep South: Where he grew up. It explains a few things.
- Determinator: Seen when the BETA invade Kamchatka base, his Shiranui Second is heavily damaged by the BETA. Although every single thing that could go wrong goes wrong, Yuuya keeps on fighting. Its one of the characteristics that Yui admires about him.
- Expy: Of Maverick and Isamu Dyson, down to being called Top Gun (he did a tour at the actual TOPGUN, which is now a joint forces school) and later test-piloting an Ace Custom prototype. His own Goose shows up too.
- Freudian Excuse: See Parental Abandonment below. Learning that his mother never blamed his father for leaving, he swore to surpass him. And growing up being picked upon due to his half-Japanese parentage did not help.
- Half-Breed Discrimination: Suffered this as a kid. Growing up in the Deep South didn't help matters.
- In-Series Nickname: "Top Gun," however it doesn't stick for too long.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a jerk who initially despises all things Japanese, and has a major chip on his shoulder. But Yuuya is also a decent guy who does try to do the right thing.
- Lightning Bruiser: The Shiranui Second; the main TSF being developed by the XFJ Project. Fast & capable in all-range combat with guns and blades, with specialisation in CQB. Yuuya is it's main test pilot.
- Long-Lost Relative: Yuuya Bridges, Yui Takamura is your younger half-sister. Not that he learns, though.
- Multi-Melee Master: The Shiranui Second carries a Type-74 PB Blade, a sword like weapon, and a pair of combat knives. Yuuya has adequate skills to make use of both of these melee weapons.
- The Nicknamer: Even on his first day as part of Project PROMINENCE. Vincent remarks that this seems to be a habit with him.
- New Meat: Started out a bit clueless about how things go down in the real world, since he had no combat experience at all.
- Oblivious to Love: Even if he isn't as dense as other characters with this label, he's a bit slow in picking up on how he affects the female Eishi around him.
- Parental Abandonment: His father left their family and went back to Japan, and later his mother died of an illness. His father was revealed to be Masatada Takamura, a high-ranking Imperial Royal Guard and specialist in R&D, the designer of the Type-82 Zuikaku, who was forced to come back to Japan without knowing Mira Bridges, Yuuya's mother, was pregnant; that is, he's Yui's elder half-brother. It's eventually revealed that he was killed by the G-bomb detonation during the Yokohama Hive operation. The pregnant Mira, fearing she and their child will be used as political leverage against Masatada, chose to leave the latter and go into hiding on her own will.
- Reassigned To Yukon: Comes with being an Expy. While Project PROMINENCE isn't a crap posting, it's also being done as punishment, because nobody else at Area 51 will ever fly with him again. Subverted; the Boening head engineer assigned to the XFJ Project, who worked with his mother in the past, specifically asked for him, with a promotion waiting for him at project completion.
- Took a Level in Badass: He started the Kamchatka arc as a skilled but self-centered pilot who had zero combat time. By the time the arc is over, he's not only matured on the personal level, but he acquits himself well when fighting BETA for real in close quarters, earning a modicum of respect from the rightly resentful members of the battle-hardened Zhar Battalion.
- Tsundere: Towards Yui.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Very much so. It's especially apparent in the flashbacks with his mother.
Second Lieutenant Tarisa Manandal
Voiced by: Sakura Nogawa (Japanese), Terri Doty (English)
- Ace Pilot: Although she is generally overshadowed by Yuuya and Yui.
- A-Cup Angst: Especially around Natalie.
- Badass Adorable: She's so cute you just want to snatch her up in your arms and hug her, but she's an excellent pilot.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her family and siblings were killed by the BETA.
- Heroic BSoD: Suffers from a minor one after Natalie dies.
- Hot-Blooded: Although Tarisa is a very capable pilot, her hotblooded nature causes her to be defeated often due to her recklessness.
- In-Series Nickname: "Chobi", given by Yuuya.
- Kukris Are Kool: She's briefly shown using a kukri to cut vegetables, which actually makes a lot of sense: while famed as a weapon, the kukri is more commonly used as a multipurpose tool.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Appears to be this with Cui.
Second Lieutenant Valerio Giacosa
Voiced by: Kenji Hamada (Japanese), Jay Hickman (English)
- Beware the Nice Ones
- Dark and Troubled Past: VG's family and friends were killed by the BETA, and his last surviving relative is a TSF pilot who's often sent on dangerous missions.
- Handsome Lech: VG really likes the ladies. This does him no favors in the VN, where the Defense Intelligence Agency officers investigating the Red Shift Incident suspect him of being an RLF sympathiser, since he was sleeping with Natalie, though they eventually clear him. It also backfires on him more funnily in the Hot Springs Episode when he starts flirting with the Bridge Bunnies over the radio and the girls trap him into throwing them a party later.
- In-Series Nickname: "Macaroni", given by Yuuya.
- Shipper on Deck: Often ships Yui and Yuuya.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Indeed he is.
Second Lieutenant Stella Bremer
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Allison Sumrall (English)
- Cool Big Sis: Serves as this to Tarisa.
- Dark and Troubled Past
- Friendly Sniper: Her sniping skills are top-notch, leading to her being picked as a test pilot.
- In-Series Nickname: Venus, given to her by Yuuya. VG was going to go with 'Giant Tits', which was also Yuuya's first choice, til Yuuya stopped him.
- Ms. Fanservice: A blue-eyed blonde Scandinavian with the largest bust in all the female cast.
- Nice Girl: What else makes Stella adored, apart from her good looks, is her kind and motherly personality.
- Sexy Scandinavian: Blonde, blue-eyed, Swedish, lots of womanly curves, need we say more?
- Shipper on Deck: As with the rest of Argos Flight, she ships Yui and Yuuya. Unlike the rest of them, her advice to Yui is generally useful.
First Lieutenant Ibrahim Dogulu
Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama (Japanese), Ty Mahany (English)
- Ace Pilot: It's a given; TSFIA #13 shows that he was very much a badass.
- The Captain: Was formerly a Captain in the Turkish Army.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Towards Argos Flight. If they need him, he'll have their back.
- Red Baron: Earned the title of "The Hero of Rhodes" due to his actions during the Battle of Rhodes, having defied orders in order to protect refugees.
- Only Sane Man: Feels this way at times.
First Lieutenant Yui Takamura
Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Japanese), Krystal LaPorte (English)
- The Ace
- Ace Custom: She pilots a powerful Takemikazuchi TSF with a unique gold paint job.
- Ace Pilot
- Badass Adorable: Graduated from just another school girl/grunt soldier stuck in a big war into an Eishi worthy enough to pilot a Takemikazuchi, not just Project Manager of the XFJ project. Who also blushes awkwardly whenever our hero Yuuya is around.
- Brother–Sister Incest: Finding out that Yuuya is her half-brother doesn't exactly kill her affection for him.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Gets irritated when other girls glom onto Yuuya, which is constantly.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Loses all her friends from cadet school during the Fall of Kyoto. Furthermore, she has lost many comrades to the BETA, including her mentor.
- Decoy Protagonist: She's the primary viewpoint character of the two-episode Action Prologue during the fall of Kyoto to the BETA, but steps back to deuteragonist for the remainder in favor of Yuuya.
- Defeat Means Friendship: More like Defeat Means Love towards Yuuya.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She begins Total Eclipse as a cold bitchy hardass, but softens considerably over the course of the story.
- Even the Girls Want Her: Argos Flight's Bridge Bunnies are totally into Yui.
- Expy: Her backstory as told in the first two episodes of Total Eclipse closely parallels that of Marimo, as told in Alternative and Atonement With the Long-Lost Relative reveal, also of Leia Organa.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: Scored major points with Yuuya by making nikujaga, a traditional Japanese stew, that his mom also made. It's also his favorite dish.
- Lightning Bruiser: The Type-00F Takemikazuchi, an Ace Custom exclusively available to the Imperial Guard. Has guns for ranged combat, swords and daggers for melee, with enhanced thrusters, agility and maneuverability allowing her to dance around any opponent.
- Long-Lost Relative: Yui Takamura, Yuuya Bridges is your elder half-brother.
- Love Hurts: After the reveal that Yuuya is her (elder) half-brother, she still has feelings for him and it's shown she tries to deal with them, but—to make matters worse—Yuuya runs off with Cryska.
- Multi-Melee Master: The Takemikazuchi is armed with a Type-74 PB Blade, retractable daggers within the unit's forearms, and hardened fingers for unarmed combat.
- Nerves of Steel: Developed this after losing so many comrades and friends to the BETA.
- The Ojou: Hails from a noble-born samurai family.
- One Woman Army: Singlehandedly takes out three of the four members of the Argos Test Flight during a training exercise in Episode 5 of the anime.
- Say My Name: During the Kamchatka arc. After mercy killing Corporal Yamamoto to cut short his suffering, she is out of ammo, is injured by debris so she can't climb up and lure the BETA into destroy the vital parts of the top-secret Japanese EML-99X Electromagnetic Induction Launcher to prevent it from being stolen by the Soviets. Bleeding and surrounded by BETA, her life flashes before her eyes, but then her final thoughts drift to Yuuya. She then calls his given name out for the first (and what she believes is the last) time. Cue Yuuya in his TSF, arriving just in time.
- Sole Survivor: She's the only member of her training unit to survive the Fall of Kyoto, capital of Imperial Japan; where she lost her teacher and all her school friends.
- Tsundere: Towards Yuuya.

- Phenotype Stereotype: Blonde and blue-eyed.
- Shipper on Deck: Ships Yui and Yuuya.
Idar Test Flight
A flight of Red Army test pilots assigned to test the Su-37UB Terminator piloted by the Scarlet Twins. The other three pilots of the flight operate Su-37M2 Terminators so that they can keep up with the twins' Su-37UB, however they usually refrain from engaging in combat so that data can be gathered on the twins and their machine. The flight is commanded by First Lieutenant Jerzy Sandek of the UN Army.
Junior Lieutenant Cryska Barchenowa
Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame (Japanese), Christine Auten (English)
- Big Sister Instinct: Very protective of Inia.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Has her moments With Yuuya
- Healing Vat: Those tanks of blue fluid you see her in at times? As an Alternative-III esper she needs to spend time there every few days, else she dies. And she does, after getting rescued from an impending Soviet execution.
- Lightning Bruiser: The two-seater Su-37UB Terminator. Capable of all-range combat but especially deadly in CQC thanks to being armed with Blade Motors on its arms, capable of ripping through BETA & TSFs with ease.
- Mark of the Supernatural: Her purple eyes hint at her psychic powers.
- My God, What Have I Done?: in the anime version where she is afraid she killed Yuuya after she and Inia lost control impales His TSF
- One Woman Army: Technically, Two Woman Army with Inia. It is shown that Cryska can perform quite well on her own, she takes on a few RLF captured F-16s in an unarmed F-15E.
- Psychic Powers: As with all white-haired, lab-grown Alternative III espers (compare to Kasumi in the original Muv-Luv Alternative visual novel).
Junior Lieutenant Inia Sestina
Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)
- Badass Adorable: Seeing her cuddling her teddy bear makes it easy to forget that she's 1/2 of the most dangerous pair of Eishi the Soviets have to offer.
- Beware the Nice Ones
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Loves her teddy bear "Misha".
- One-Man Army: Technically, Two Woman Army with Cryska.
- Lightning Bruiser: The two-seater Su-37UB Terminator. Capable of all-range combat but especially deadly in CQC thanks to being armed with Blade Motors on its arms, capable of ripping through BETA & TSFs with ease.
- Mark of the Supernatural: Her purple eyes hint at her psychic powers.
- Psychic Powers: Can listen to other people's thoughts, explaining why she seems to know other's intentions, moods, or questions before they are even voiced. Comes from being artificially created by the Soviets for the failed Alternative III.
- Token Mini-Moe: Although, if source materials are to be believed, she's actually 16.
Lieutenant Jerzy Sandek
Voiced by: Atsushi Ono (Japanese), David Matranga (English)
- Ace Pilot: He's actually a pretty good pilot, and was an instructor; among other people, the Su-47E Berkut's test pilot was one of his students.
- Consummate Liar: In Episode 21, he manages to half-convince Yui that the US is behind the RLF attack. Later, in episode 24, he convinces Yuuya that Inia and Cryska have been brainwashed by the CIA, and that Yuuya can save them - when he fully expects Yuuya to die.
- The Chessmaster: Organizes the Polnoye Zatmeniyenote Plan.
- Hidden Depths: Implied in TSFIA #30, he has a cold reaction when the Su-47E test pilot (his former student) refers to the Scarlet Twins as "dolls."
- Also, Sandek presents himself as your run-of-the-mill Soviet officer, but he's a master manipulator, and was one of the researchers involved in the Soviet Esper program (of which Cryska and Inia are but two examples).
- Karma Houdini: Despite being complicit in the Soviet plan to steal the EML-99X Electromagnetic Induction Launcher, suggesting the forced martyring of the Zhar Battalion, and tricking Yuuya into thinking he can save the Scarlet Twins from their berserker mode though it's likely he'll be killed, he received no blowback whatsoever in-story and most of the main characters are all none the wiser that he's been manipulating them. Which only adds to his credentials.
- Majorly Awesome: TSFIA #30 reveals that in the Soviet military, he holds the rank of Major, though he's a 1st Lieutenant in the UN Forces.

Cui Yifei
- Ace Pilot
- Blood Knight: Doesn't care much about winning the Blue Flag exercises, she only wants to fight skilled pilots.
- Chinese Girl: She's from Taiwan, however, for some reason she pilots a J-10X, a TSF developed by the PLA instead of more approriate F-CK-1.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Violently so, she punches Yuuya just for being with other women.
- Cool Big Sis: The rest of her flight think of her as this.
- Defeat Equals Friendship: As with Yui, more like Defeat Equals Love. Shows a MUCH stronger interest in Yuuya after he defeats her in the Blue Flag exercises.
- Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: As a result of the above, Yifei declares to Yuuya. "It's okay for you to fall in love with me!"
- Gratuitous Chinese: "Zai jian!" ("Bye bye!" in Mandarin)
- Lightning Bruiser: The J-10X.
- Self proclaimed love interest: She keeps claiming to be Yuuya’s wife and punches him whenever he gets close to another woman.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Appears to be this with Tarisa.

The Infinities
A flight of American test pilots, operating and testing the F-22A Raptor EMD Phase 2. The flight is commanded by First Lieutenant Keith Blazer of the US Army.
Aside from being sent to Yukon Base to show off America's advanced third generation TSF, the F-22, the flight is sent by the US forces to conduct a secret operation during the RLF attack (which was expected by the Americans). They attacked Soviet G-element research facilities in the midst of the chaos to prevent the Soviets from gaining the upper hand over America.

Natalie Duclert
Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki (Japanese), Emily Neves (English)
- Conflicting Loyalty: Her friendship to Tarisa and her goals as a member of the RLF.
- Dark and Troubled Past/Troubled Fetal Position: A flashback in episode 18 reveals a disturbing glimpse of a dirty and emaciated young Natalie huddled next to a decaying corpse. This all while she's talking about how being alive is the most important thing anyone has. This experience is probably the reason she joined the RLF.
- His Name Is...: Is killed by a RLF member when she tries to reveal the RLF's plans to Yuuya and Tarisa.
- Spell My Name With An S: Duclert or Duclerq? Or possibly Duclerque?

Budomir Rogofsky
Voiced by: Katsumi Chou (Japanese), James Belcher (English)
A Soviet officer, with the rank of Lt. Colonel in the UN forces. He was in charge of the Russian ploy to capture the EML-99X Electromagnetic Induction Launcher.
- General Failure: Lost a whole fleet of Tu-95 bombers and the Zhar Battalion in his plan, furthermore the Kamchatka base is damaged. He doesn't even obtain his objective, the EML-99X Electromagnetic Induction Launcher.
- Manipulative Bastard: Manipulates the UN forces and BETA in an attempt to obtain the EML-99X Electromagnetic Induction Launcher. His plan fails completely, and it's Sandek who has to bail him out.
- We Have Reserves: His general tactic.
Captain Orson
Voiced by: Taketora (Japanese), John Swasey (English)
- Carpet of Virility: Has a decent layer befitting his 'macho man' persona.
- Cool Shades: Never seen without them.
- Fanservice: As the propaganda efforts overseer, he is the sole in-universe reason why Fanservice arcs even happen. The more serious Flight Commanders (usually Ibrahim) and Eishi privately question the necessity of these propaganda exercises but go through with them anyway.
- Large Ham: Stands out among the other senior UN officers as the first to always suggest "morale boosting" retreats and "team building" exercises, with exaggerated hand gestures and shine on his Cool Shades.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: A big body build to go with his big personality.
- The Peeping Tom: Calls for a morale boosting operation just so he could record all the female TSF pilots in bathing suits.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Whenever the plot gets too bogged down in personal drama, the Captain appears and calls for an activity that somehow involves Fanservice, providing completely legitimate reasons for why it must be so.
- Shoo Out the Clowns: He is conspicuously absent whenever the plot gets back to being action-packed or dramatic.
Zhar Battalion
A battle-hardened frontline Red Army TSF unit based on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Most members of the battalion are child conscripts forcibly recruited from remaining Warsaw Pact countries that have yet to fall to the BETA. Virtually no full-blooded Russians fight in the battalion, making them expendable in the eyes of Soviet High Command. The soldiers of the unit are far from happy with their mistreatment and show it to outsiders. Lieutenant Colonel Fikatsia Latrova is the ranking officer of the unit.
Lieutenant Colonel Fikatsia Latrova
Voiced by: Takako Honda (Japanese), Angela Foster (English)
- A Mother to her Men

Japanese Imperial Forces
Iwaya Eiji
Voiced by: Masashi Sugawara (Japanese), John Swasey (English)
- Ace Pilot: Test pilot for the Type-82 Zuikaku, has combat time (and the scars to prove it), and actually survived long enough to be promoted to a desk job.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Unlike most Imperial Japanese personnel, he's quite reasonable, isn't infused with YAMATO DAMASHII, and was pushing for XFJ to be a joint Japanese-American project because he knew Japan couldn't make it on her own.
- Retired Badass: No longer a active pilot. In a world where pilots die young, he actually survived long enough to be Kicked Upstairs.
- Shipper on Deck: He was quite pleased to find out that Yui had fallen for a young man (Yuuya).
- Weak, but Skilled: Using an outdated Type-82 Zuikakunote , he managed to defeat two F-15C Eagles in a training exercise

Major Christopher
Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (Japanese), Josh Morrison (English)
He's actually a mercenary for "Allegiance," a radical religious group who believes the BETA are God's servants.
- Ace Pilot: He's able to push Yuuya back in close quarters combat.
- Ascended Extra: In the light novel series he was a minor villain that piloted a MiG-29OVT Fulcrum and did not play any role in causing the Scarlet Twins to go berserk, and was finished off easily by Sandek on foot, after Yuuya defeated him. Here, he's essentially The Dragon.
- Ax-Crazy: Attempts to activate the "Red Shift" by freeing the BETA that the Americans were researching on, the freed BETA go on a rampage and kill hundreds of people. Furthermore, if the Red Shift activates it would kill millions of people aside from making America, the world's number one supplier of food and weapons, a front line country in the war against the BETA. He does this all while trying to kill the members of the Argos Test Flight.
- Blood Knight: TSFiIA #35 shows that his life revolves around battles due to his occupation as a mercenary. Frankly, he enjoys his job very much. Moreover, he appears to be very enthusiastic about facing off against the test pilots of Yukon Base.
- Card-Carrying Villain
- Character Death: Killed when the Scarlet Twins crush his TSF's cockpit after the twins take control of the Su-47E Berkut and eject his cockpit from the the unit.
- Dragon with an Agenda: To the "Master." He doesn't really care about the RLF or Allegiance, he only wants to accomplish his own goals.
- Hired Guns: TSFIA #35 reveals that he is a mercenary.
- Lightning Bruiser: The Su-47E Berkut.
"Master"
Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese), Scott Florence (English)
- Big Bad: Of Total Eclipse.
- Big Bad Ensemble: With the BETA.
- No Name Given: Referred to as the "Master."
- The Unfought: He gets away with the RLF attack on Yukon Base without the UN forces finding out his identity or even finding out that he was behind the attack. Furthermore, he appears to have other plans that are heavily suggested to be based in Japan... specifically, Yokohama, home of Task Force A-01.
