Main Characters
Sakido Elexion
A Wind Demon from Hell, who was killed while trying to help her brother and his friend escape Hell. Despite her past actions that she deems 'unforgivable', that very same remorse and regret is what deemed her worthy in the Master's eyes, and earned her to right to become a Rebirth. Now she just needs get used to it.- The Atoner: She still regrets her actions in the past, particularly towards Buwaro. These feelings motivate her to seek out Medius when the realization of how vast the Multiverse is.
- Broken Bird: She is still greatly burdened by her past
- Dark Is Not Evil: Shun describes her as this, though she seems to have a hard time understanding this. Also has shades of Our Demons Are Different.
- Elemental Powers: She still retains her abilities as a Demon, giving her the following elements:
- Fish out of Water: The drastically different cultures present in the other worlds make her this.
- How Do I Shot Web?: The knowledge she SHOULD have gained after becoming a Rebirth is incomplete, leading to this for certain things, particularly opening portals.
Shun Hayami
A human who has become a Rebirth. He was called by the Master to witness the birth of a new Rebirth, which turned out to be Sakido, and has since taken up a mentor role for her. Seemingly laid back and easy going, he implies that there is more to him than meets the eye.- Artificial Limbs: Lost his left arm when he was 8, and has since replaced it with a cybernetic arm.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Its clearly implied that his past was this.
- Expy: From the picture the author had commissioned, Shun seems to be an expy of Archer, while his fighting style is more of a Shout-Out of Gilgamesh from the same series. The latter is particularly glaring when Shun uses Final Salvo
- The Gunslinger
- Heroic Sacrifice: He does this at the end of chapter 8, specifically via Taking the Bullet
- Hyperspace Arsenal: Has access to one of these via his left arm.
- Item Crafting: His Rebirth ability, though its limited to his bullets.
- Macross Missile Massacre: His strongest attack is this.
- Noodle Incident: Apparently had one of these with Neo prior to the story's beginning. Needless to say, he is VERY uncomfortable whenever around said Rebirth
- The Mentor: He plays this role for Sakido.
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: Has recently fallen prey to this. subverted in chapter 10, as he's not quite dead
- Red Baron: The Black Devastator
Umi Soyokaze
A kindhearted Rebirth, whom Shun had once mentored before he took Sakido under his wing. Gentle, yet somewhat of a ditz, she's more than happy to help in any way she can.- All-Loving Hero: She's just that nice. Most of the time
- Berserk Button: She shows a VERY mild variation of this in chapter 10, when she realizes the Angels of Vigrid are either evil or corrupt
- Empathic Weapon: Her Keyblade, born of her own heart, has a special property where it can only strike down the evil or corrupt, while leaving the good and/or innocent unharmed.
- Gratuitous Japanese: She tends to use japanese words in her sentences from time to time.
- Healing Hands: She plays the role as the team medic. See also Combat Medic
- Improbable Weapon User: Her main weapon is a flute.
- Making a Splash
- Meaningful Name: Aside from her title, her name, "Umi", literally means ocean.
- Miko: What she was before becoming a Rebirth, and she still has all her abilities from that time.
- Noodle Incident: Prior to the story, she had one with a real Sir Swears-a-Lot, which has since convinced her teammates to be careful about swearing near her.
- Red Baron: Angel of The Sea. Quite fitting considering her personality.
Max Ryder
An energetic and somewhat hot blooded Rebirth who is part of Shun's party prior to Sakido's introduction to the team. Seems to be looking out for Umi's well-being for some reason.- Big Damn Hero: Gets to be this TWICE in the short time of his introduction. Once before he is formally introduced, and does it again for his formal introduction.
- Cool Bike: His custom bike, the Galatine, is not only functional as a normal bike, but can also go into space.
- Hot-Blooded: Partially invoked, as while he doesn't always jump head first into danger as he is willing to listen to what his teammates have to say first, but he is certainly the most enthusiastic member of the group so far AND he's more than willing to charge head first into danger.
- Playing with Fire
- Super-Speed: He has an insanely strong one, considering that he knocked the Venom Rider (a mutant Heartless that is WAY stronger than a standard Storm Rider)silly AND set it on fire, all without being seen even once.
Tsukasa Tanmatsu
An enigmatic Rebirth who shows little emotion. He seems to have a history with Shun, Max, and Umi, considering them his best friends.- Ambiguously Human: Its made painfully obvious (literally) to Sakido that this guy may not be human.
- Attack Hello: Sort of, since the most significant part the episode he's introduced is his fight against Sakido
- Creepy Monotone: While not as bad as the full trope, a few characters consider him rather creepy
- Emotionless Boy
- Improbable Weapon User: He uses a BOOK as a weapon. Granted its obviously not a normal book, but still...
- Identity Amnesia: Its revealed in chapter 10 that he has this. In fact, "Tsukasa Tanmatsu" isn't even his real name.
- Magic from Technology: According to
Word of God, the spell arrays he uses are this - The Stoic: Even when Sakido does something that should not have been possible, he is barely fazed and instead simply considers it as 'unexpected'. At least this is the case until he nearly kills Umi, where his stoic expression breaks, though it quickly comes back
Antagonist
Stillborns

- Sinister Scythe: Her weapon of choice.

One of two 'scientists' who helped Maleficent in unraveling the secrets of an item called a Hollow Drive.- Rewriting Reality: Seems to have a mild (yet literal) variation of this, which she activates by writing words in the air.

- Cruel and Unusual Death: May also double as Karmic Death
- Sadist: She seems to take delight in torturing poor Sakido
- Unwitting Pawn: Its pretty clear that she's this to the two scientists. Turns out, she was an Unwitting Pawn the whole time
- Killed Off for Real: Well...she's not getting back up from what happened to her in chapter 8
- Mind Rape: Her "Shadow of Fear" spell does this to its victims.
- Oh, Crap!: Three pissed off Rebirths have just fired their respective high level attacks, aimed right at the head of the monster I'm currently linked to, and I can't defend myself. Oh, Crap!
- Rewriting Reality: She seems to have gained a mild variation of this ability from The Mysterious Cloaked Figure, which allows her to modify Heartless, and even establish a Psychic Link to them that allows her to boost their powers.

- Red Baron: Holy Paladin
Selena Newton
A Veteran Rebirth. She comes across as a cold and callous individual, and shows disdain towards Tsukasa Tanmatsu for some reason.- Good Is Not Nice: As a Rebirth, she's technically on the side of good, but she certainly isn't nice.
- Gravity Master: Considering her title, this is likely her power.
- Ice Queen: So much so that even Umi doesn't like her and calls her this.
