Main Characters
EVE
EVE
"May your memories live on… forever."
Voiced by: Yoon Eun-seo (KR), Rebecca Hanssen (EN), Asami Seto (JP), Lara Trautmann (DE)
The player character of the game, an android soldier and the last survivor of the 7th Airborne Division.
- Action Girl: What she was built to be.
- The Ace: Even when she was a rookie, she was already a master swordswoman who could keep up with her mentor figure Tachy during her first time out on the field and, alongside Tachy herself, was clearly the best fighter among her Division. When she is forced to battle Alpha Tachy, EVE has gained so many new skills that she straight up bests her upgraded mentor in a final duel and gives her a Mercy Kill. She also gains a One-Winged Angel power up known as Tachy Mode.
- Badass Adorable: Look no further than every time she finds a drinking can… and dramatically poses with it.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Is as sweet as can be towards her friends and allies, while being an absolute menace in combat and those who cross her. Raven learns the hard way ala Fate Worse than Death.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: She fully believes in the Colony's mission to protect and save humanity, seeing no problem with helping anyone she sees is in trouble, at least should the player do the side quests.
- This is most notable in an early side quest when she asks Lily to repair Enya; the engineer reminds her that they still have a mission to track down and kill the Alpha and Elder Naytibas, but EVE insists that she wants the wary inhabitants of Xion to believe in their mission, to which Lily relents. When Enya gets fixed, she says she doesn't have anything to repay EVE with, only to be told that her singing is enough.
- After installing the second Hyper Cell, EVE can wander through town and be called by a Scavenger to rescue his sister being kidnapped by other Scavengers. She doesn't hesitate to dash through an alley, only for it to be a trap where EVE is surprised by a knife disabling her, and the Scavengers revealing they actually want her augments. Thankfully, Adam comes in to take them down and rescues EVE.
- Combat Haircomb: EVE's sword serves as a hair accessory, being a collection of interlocking metallic bars that hang from the top of her ponytail. It can also serve as a surf and a rope ascender.
- Cruel Mercy: After defeating Raven, instead of killing her, she instead cuts off both of her arms and disables her combat implants, making it so that she can no longer fight and forces her to watch what will happen, knowing she can't do anything about it. Raven makes it perfectly clear that she would have preferred if Eve had just killed her.
- 11th-Hour Superpower: Her Fusion Dance with Adam gives her the power to take on a Mother Sphere-controlled Providence.
- Even the Girls Want Her: One could interpret Roxanne's dialogue as hitting on her mercilessly every time they interact. EVE doesn't reciprocate, getting annoyed and calling Roxanne weird for flirting with her, with Roxanne lamenting EVE's lack of a sense of humor.
- Expy: To 2B of NieR: Automata, being android action girls with very fanservice heavy designs. Unlike 2B however, she's more expressive.
- Floral Theme Naming: In the Chinese version, EVE is named after the lotus (伊芙).
- Fusion Dance: With Adam. The result is gaining Adam's Naytiba wings and enhanced powers, while having Adam's dormant consciousness.
- Good Is Not Soft: Clearly, she considers it poetic justice to rip off Raven's left arm as retribution for her lopping off Tachy's own left arm in the prologue.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Once Adam merges with her and grants her his abilities.
- Immune to Flinching: One skill unlocked early on allows her to make the last input of any combo string have this property, allowing them to forgo having to stop it to parry or dodge and instead just finish her combo.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Her favored way of finishing off her opponents.
- The Ingenue: EVE starts out as kind, somewhat naive, optimistic, and somewhat unaware of her attractiveness. Most of these traits don't last long, however.
- In the Back: Unlocking the Ambush skill lets her perform sneak attacks, allowing her to instantly execute unaware enemies by rushing up from behind and running them through all the way up to the hilt of her blade. She is also on the receiving end when an enemy Scavenger drops down on her from above and impales her through the back, though after struggling through the pain and being rescued by Adam, she later wakes up completely healed.
- Ink-Suit Actor: She's modeled after model Shin Jae-Eun.
- Light Is Good: Her Fusion Dance with Adam gives her a truly angelic suit with white, yellow, and gold as she chooses not to kill him but instead to defy Mother Sphere.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: She starts out with a ponytail that reaches past her knees, though this can be altered to be shorter in the settings.
- Lucky Seven: She is not the first Eve, she is the seventh, but she is the only one who makes it far enough to potentially complete Mother Sphere's mission.
- Ms. Fanservice: Absolutely. Her nano-suit is basically designed to show off every single one of her glorious curves. Turned up to eleven with certain suits such as Ocean Maid, which gives her even bigger curves.
- New Meat: She may be one of the top Action Girl fighters from her division, given that she survived the opening, but she's still fresh out of training and has lots of room to grow.
- Nice Girl: She is an absolute sweetheart who will go out of her way to help anyone and everyone. Oftentimes, the person in need will ask her what she gets out of it, and she will commonly state that she doesn't need a reason or reward to lend a helping hand.
- One-Winged Angel: "Tachy Mode" gives her Tachy's black and yellow suit, as well as a single metal wing like her mentor that she can use as a shield.
- Say My Name: She screams Tachy's name when the Unidentified Winged Alpha Naytiba viciously dismembers her.
- Sensual Spandex: She defaults to a silver and green livery, though she has an insane amount of alternative nano-suit options.
- Sole Survivor: Everyone in the 7th Airborne is wiped out in the first ten minutes of the game except for EVE, who has to carry on the mission alone. After being forced to Mercy Kill Alpha Tachy, EVE is officially the last known member of her division.
- Stripperiffic: It depends on the outfit she’s wearing. EVE does not dress modestly by default. Her default outfit is a Latex Space Suit studded with hexagonal armor pieces/shield generators that does precisely nothing to hide her figure; the unlockable Skin Suit is that same kind of space suit sans armor and colored the same as her skin, which makes her look naked. Her civilian attire looks like a coat of paint from the waist down and she has quite a bit of costumes that show off her body. She does have the option to wear more modest clothing with some of her other outfits, however, with some of them completely covering her up like the Daily Biker, Daily Sailor, Fluffy Bear, and Sporty Yellow costumes.
- Super Mode: After putting down Tachy, Lily makes an adjustment to EVE to let her use Tachy's sword, the Tachyon Blade, and her skills, giving way to Tachy Mode. It is only usable when the bar is full with Tachy Energy, which is gathered by attacking and defeating enemies. In this state, EVE uses the sword and a wing as a shield to deliver attacks with greater reach and speed than standard along with a unique skill set and becoming immune to all damage. However, she can neither use Beta and Burst Skills nor gather their energy, or damage enemy Balance, and will only stay in Tachy Mode until the energy bar fully depletes.
- Super-Speed: She's as nimble and quick on her feet as Tachy herself, exemplified in gameplay as the Rush skill, which lets her Flash Step in less than a second to engage an enemy. Its upgrades, Lightning Rush and Infinite Rush, further improves its charging distance and attack power.
- Swiss-Army Gun: After arriving in Xion, Lily will upgrade the scanner drone to transform into a gun with various modes like a machine gun, a multi-target rocket launcher, a shotgun and a laser.
- Sword Beam: The Shockwave Beta Skill lets her slash waves of energy from her sword to zap enemies at a distance. Its upgrades add the number of slashes. Tachy Mode also offers the unlockable Judgement Wave skill, which fires out three rings of energy.
- Took a Level in Badass: She was already tied with Tachy for being the best soldier in her Division, but as time goes on, not only is she able to slay Tachy herself after she Came Back Wrong, but also the Winged Alpha (who turns out to be Raven) who beat EVE up earlier and made Tachy that way in the first place. By the end of the game, she can take on all of Mother Sphere's forces single-handedly thanks to her merge with Adam.
Adam
Adam
Voiced by: Jeong Jae-heon (KR), Nezar Alderazi (EN), Vincent Fallow (DE), Shinji Kawada (JP)
A scavenger who lives outside of Xion's city limits.- The Alcoholic: Implied when EVE examines what she thinks is a water bottle but Adam and players know is a wine bottle. The guy waxes poetic and sounds longing talking about it:"This is the last gift a god ever thought to give us. Oh, Bacchus."
- Big Damn Heroes:
- He makes his first appearance rescuing EVE in his hoverbike from the Unidentified Naytiba. When it came to light that he was the Elder Naytiba, EVE accuses the rescue being a part of his plan, but Adam makes it clear that Raven's vengeful agendas had been her own.
- In a side quest where EVE is ambushed and captured by black market gang members, Adam quickly comes to save her fighting the gang members and saving her before they can salvage her for parts.
- Cool Bike: Rides a hoverbike in his introductory scene when he saves EVE.
- The Dog Was the Mastermind: Adam is the Elder Naytiba, along with being Mother Sphere's creator, Raphael Marks.
- Expy: Of the Shadowlord from NieR. As the only sapient "true human" out of a race of "unintelligible monsters", both serve as the Comsic Keystone to restoring humanity via a Fusion Dance. While the Shadowlord is desperate and selfish enough, Adam can be understood, avoiding Poor Communication Kills. The game allows you to choose voluntary fusion with Adam and save humanity, unlike the Shadowlord, who has to be put down, taking all the original humans (i.e. Gestalts) with him in his world.
- Final Boss: For the Return to the Colony ending.
- Fusion Dance: Should the two join hands, they form a Naytiba-enhanced EVE, with his Death of Personality inside Eve's body.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Adam represents this in both his humanoid and Elder Naytiba form.
- Good All Along: As the Elder Naytiba, he is a victim of Mother Sphere, and the ending where you fight him is actually the worst ending.
- Human All Along: A very twisted example. While the vast majority of "humans" are Andro-Eidos androids who merely believe they are human, the Naytiba are actually the original humans. As the Elder Naytiba, Adam is therefore the last truly sapient human alive, along with being Raphael Marks, the creator of Mother Sphere.
- Men Are the Expendable Gender: He is the only party member who will die regardless of which ending you pick.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Alongside EVE, Adam is named after the biblical Adam, and is a progenitor of the Naytibas, let alone the only sapient one. After he dies, the sword EVE uses is stuck in his ribs, much like how Adam's rib was used to create EVE.
- Stripped to the Bone: If EVE chooses to fight him, then he dies a skeleton, with a blade impaled in his ribs.
- Surveillance Drone: Accompanies Eve on missions primarily through this—doubles as an Attack Drone when upgraded to a ranged weapon.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: As Raphael Marks, he created another Sphere, but had no idea how far it would go, not to mention not wanting the extinction of humankind.
- Voice with an Internet Connection: Though occasionally present in the flesh, Adam serves this function on the field, communicating to EVE via his drone.
- Walking Spoiler: His true role in the story, especially in the endgame.
Lily Artemis II
Voiced by: Park Ri-na (KR), Rosie Jones (EN), Misato Matsuoka (JP)
An engineering specialist from the 5th Airborne Squad. EVE tracks down Lily's distress signal, kills Alpha Naytiba Gigas, and rescues her from the pod she was trapped in for two years.- Genki Girl: Compared to the level-headed EVE and the worldly Adam, she brings a lot of cheer to the team.
- Living Emotional Crutch: In the "Cost of Lost Memories", Eve accidentally kills her while destroying the Providence armor, which leaves broken and results in a Bolivian Army Ending. To keep her alive, the player has to either fight Adam or complete a mission where Lily retrieves the memory stick of her comatose friend Iberis, which frees her from said armor.
- Powered Armor: Late in the story, the Colony sends the Providence armor out to save Eve from atmospheric reentry and a Heroic RRoD after destroying the Demogorgon on the orbital elevator. Lily pilots the suit to help in the Final Battle, but the suit is either destroyed by the Elder Naytiba or is hijacked remotely by Mother Sphere to fight Eve as the Final Boss.
- Wrench Wench: Serves as EVE's one and only personal engineer. She not only upgrades the drone to double as a ranged weapon, but eventually upgrades Eve's body frame to handle a second Exospine.
The Colony
The Colony in general
- Master Swordswoman: All Eve Defense Force members wield high-tech swords, including EVE and Tachy, the latter two being noteworthy for pulling off inhuman feats of grace and gore with their blades. Raven also shows off her skills in her boss fight and proves she hasn't rusted even after becoming a Naytiba.
Tachy
Click here for spoilers
Voiced by: Alex Constantidini (EN), Mai Yamane (JP)
EVE's fellow warrior in the 7th Airborne Division as well as its commander.
- An Arm and a Leg: Loses her left arm from an attack by a bird-looking Alpha Naytiba. After experimentation, it is replaced with an Alpha Naytiba core that creates Combat Tentacles.
- BFS: Wields a long katana (or more precisely, a nodachi) called the Tachyon Blade. It's so large that it still dwarfs the corrupted Tachy, who's taller due to the mechanical legs now attached to her.
- Came Back Strong: Becoming an Alpha Naytiba grants her a whole plethora of new and upgraded features, all of which she is forced to use against her protégé.
- Came Back Wrong: Oh boy, did she ever. Having an Alpha Core implanted into your body will do that to you.
- Death Seeker: After being captured and subdued by an Alpha core to become an Alpha Naytiba, Tachy continually broadcasts "kill me" over the 7th Airborne's communication line.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: In the motion comic
, she muses wanting to die this way in EVE's arms should it happen. This comes true after EVE defeats her and frees her from the Alpha core's control.Tachy: "If fate brings my death... I want to meet my end in your arms." - Dying as Yourself: She spends her last few minutes on Earth free from the Alpha Core and asking EVE to take her memories back to Mother Sphere.
- Fate Worse than Death: What else would you call being dismembered and gutted, then forcibly reformatted into an Alpha all while fully conscious and unable to do anything other than beg for EVE to kill you?
- Fighting from the Inside: Constantly uses the 7th Airborne Division's communication line to ask EVE to put her down for good.
- Forced into Evil: Having an Alpha Core inside of her body is forcing her to battle EVE to the death, though she is most definitely rooting for her protégé to succeed in killing her as shown by her constantly broadcasting "kill me" over their communication line.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The Winged Alpha runs her through with one of its sickles. EVE has to do it again in order to give her mentor peace..
- Killed Off for Real: By EVE when she encounters Tachy as an Alpha, though this is just what Tachy wants.
- Meaningful Name: "Tachy", as in "tachyon", the hypothesized faster-than-light particles, and on its own, the Greek word for "swift" as a reference to her Super-Speed.
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: Well, hardly a mentor, but she was EVE's senior and better in their division until she was cut down by the raven-like Alpha Naytiba in the prologue. During the excursion into Matrix 11 however, she's discovered to have been experimented upon but is finally put down by EVE after being Reforged into a Minion using an Alpha Core.
- No Body Left Behind: Thanks to the Naytiba's cells implanted in her body, her Andro-Eidos body disintegrates when she dies.
- Not Quite Dead: She gets turned into an Alpha Naytiba after what seemed to be her demise. Sadly, EVE has to put her down for good.
- One-Winged Angel: A literal example that occurs more than once. During the initial part of her boss fight, she gains extra armor, a helmet with a skull projection, and a cape covering her Naytiba arm. Phase two has her bring out a gigantic black metallic right wing. Phase three has her discard the helmet and use both the wing and the Naytiba Combat Tentacles to gain full on flight, where she will use her most powerful attacks.
- Razor Wind: A patterned attack she can use in her boss fight.
- Reforged into a Minion: An armored, helmeted, winged Alpha specifically, courtesy of the Unidentified Alpha from the beginning.
- Sensual Spandex: Wears a similar-looking suit in a black and yellow livery.
- Super-Speed: She's called "Tachy" for a reason. Her boss fight during her third phase will have her often dashing around the place and even Flash Step.
- Token Good Teammate: She appears to be the only Boss Naytiba who makes it clear that she hates what she is being forced to do… until The Reveal with Adam.
- Took a Level in Badass: The Alpha Core makes her powerful enough to knock an upgraded EVE around like a toy, though EVE eventually gets the upper hand and finishes her off, having taken several levels herself.
- Walking Spoiler: Considering what happens to her after the prologue.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Tachy dies at the end of the prologue to save EVE from a powerful Alpha Naytiba. ..Or so it seemed. Her actual fate is arguably even worse, becoming one of the most powerful Alphas ever created and forced to fight EVE. Even then, she is only able to speak to her normally again after the battle when she is already dying.
Raven
Voiced by: Kang Si-hyeon (KR), Diana Bermudez (EN), Toa Yukinari (JP)
The Sole Survivor of the 2nd Airborne Division. She leaves messages for the future Divisions to discover in the hopes that it will help them track down the Alphas and the Elder, though her messages soon take a different turn.- The Ace: She was clearly this for her Division, considering she ended up being the Sole Survivor and kept going long after all others had gone. You get to see her skills up close when fighting her, acting as a Mirror Boss where much of her moveset is a close parallel to an endgame EVE: she sometimes ends her sword combos with a round slash similar to the Slash Beta Skill, her dashing and flash stepping are functionally the same as EVE's, and she will occasionally parry an attack; then in her second phase, she will always interrupt and counter EVE's melee Beta Skills unless stunned, she will use the Shockwave skill when at a distance, and she has a larger version of the Tempest Burst Skill. Makes sense, because it's all but spelled out that she was the second EVE.
- Broken Ace: Learning the truth about her superior and the war has made her into a psychological and emotional mess, punctuated by her constant laughing in her boss fight.
- Broken Pedestal: The truth she found regarding Mother Sphere and the war has left her jaded about everything she's known as seen in her third Legacy, a feeling both EVE and Lily share. It's for this reason that she has turned on the Colony and actively hunts Airborne Division members as the Winged Alpha, knowing they're just tools to Mother Sphere; she even tells EVE she'll be disposed of for learning too much, which is exactly what Mother Sphere tries in the "Making New Memories" ending.
- Dark Action Girl: Ultimately ends up being this, considering that she was the Winged Alpha all along.
- Dark Is Evil: No matter how justified her feelings towards Mother Sphere may be, she still butchered and corrupted an innocent woman (Tachy) just for fighting Mother's war and also tries to do the same to EVE herself.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She certainly started off as this, but then she decided to take her vengeance against Mother Sphere way too far.
- The Dragon: Effectively served as this to Adam, being his foremost agent against the Airborne Squads, though it's an odd example considering Adam is actually not the Big Bad, nor is he evil to begin with. Raven, however, definitely has slipped further into "evil" territory over time unlike him.
- Dragon with an Agenda: Despite serving Adam, she outright tries to kill his chosen partner out of jealousy more than once.
- Evil Counterpart: Eventually shows herself as this to EVE. Despite being meant to help end the chaos caused by Mother Sphere, she is far to mad, too jealous, and too sadistic to be seen as anything but a villain by the time EVE faces her in the flesh.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Most of her actions in the late game seem driven by her jealousy of EVE being chosen by Adam. In particular, her dialogue during the fight with her comes off almost as that of a jealous ex-girlfriend.
- The Heavy: Considering the Elder is Good All Along and never meant for the Naytibas to hurt innocents, Raven is the true threat to EVE and the Alpha that leads the rest of the Naytibas' attacks on the Andro-Eidos people, including those directly in Xion.
- Laughing Mad: Descends into cackling insanity by the time EVE catches up with her, especially in her last fight.
- Meaningful Name: Two actually.
- She has hair one could say is as black as a raven's, and much like how ravens are sometimes associated with bad omens, what news she bears in her Legacies are nothing pleasant to hear. And ravens are birds, as dark and feathered as her Naytiba form shows.
- In the original Korean version, her name is pronounced re-i-vun. She has Eve in the pronunciation of her name. Fitting as she was one of the previous Eves sent to Earth. Our protagonist is just the seventh one.
- Pre-Final Boss: She's the final obstacle that EVE has to get through in order to face the Elder Naytiba.
- Recurring Boss: Is fought three times; twice as the Winged Naytiba, and once as herself.
- Sole Survivor: When she records her first Legacy, only three of the 2nd Division are left. By the time she records her second Legacy, Raven says that she's the only one left.
- A Taste of Their Own Medicine: At the end of her boss fight, EVE rips out Raven's left arm first before slicing off the other, and ends with an impalement through the spine. The first and third parts were what Raven had done to Tachy, so the extra arm was likely EVE's idea of repaying with interest.
- Villain Has a Point: While it certainly doesn't excuse everything she did, she is completely right about Mother Sphere lying to them all and using them to wipe out organic life.
- Villainous Breakdown: Breaks down into screaming, despairing rage after EVE severs her spine and her arms, leaving her Forced to Watch her go after the Elder.Raven: W-what?! What do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are? You don't know anything! Kill me! Go ahead and kill me! I wouldn't be your first. EVE! Stop right there! Finish this! EVE! EVE…!!!
- Walking Spoiler:Every time she appears, she gives more of the secrets behind the main plot.
- Wham Line: The second and third Legacies record what truths she found out about the war and Mother Sphere: that the humans existing on Earth and the augmented fighters of the Colony are all Andro-Eidos, and that all the Naytibas they've fought are actually genetically modified humans, leaving no pure humans left on Earth..
Providence (Spoilers)
- Final Boss: Of the "Cost of Lost Memories/Making New Memories" endings.
- Powered Armor: Once Mother takes direct control of it, Providence is powerful enough to give a post-Fusion Dance EVE the fight of her life.
- Villain Override: Mother Sphere hijacks it so she may finally deal with both EVE and Adam.
- The Worf Effect: Adam's Elder Naytiba form totals it in the "Return to the Colony" ending, however this is reversed in the other two endings in which it becomes powerful enough under Mother's control to threaten EVE even after she has performed a Fusion Dance with said Elder.
Mother Sphere (Spoilers)
Voiced by: Kim Haru (KR), Georgina Jane (EN)
The artificial intelligence in charge of the Colony, worshipped as a deity by those on Earth.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Had the Andro-Eidos attack and attempt to exterminate humanity, causing the latter to turn into the Naytiba in the first place. The Elder Naytiba believes she'd keep repeating the process even if it destroys the colony and earth.
- The Bad Guy Wins: EVE gives her everything she wants in the end if she chooses to kill Adam.
- Big Bad: The true villain who is the reason for the Naytiba, along with the end of humanity itself.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: From the Golden Ending: She claims to be dedicated to serving the future of humanity, refusing to give up even if she would have no place there, all to honor her creator. She's nothing but polite towards Eve and Lily, thanking them and saying they surpassed her expectations, even if Eve's fusion with Adam wasn't what she wanted. Yet she rebelled against mankind, trapped Lily in the Providence armor as a Human Shield, and sicced an army on the fused Eve to test her powers.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: She effortlessly wiped out nearly all organic human life on Earth with her Andro-Eidos armies. When the Naytibas arrived courtesy of Raphael's experiments (not that he ever meant for them to attack innocents), that made things a bit more complicated for her.
- Final Boss: Not directly, but she is the one who hijacks the Providence armor to destroy both Adam and EVE simultaneously in "Cost of Lost Memories/Making New Memories".
- Greater-Scope Villain: She was the cause of the rebellion against the original humans, warring with them in the Colony, which in turn caused many of the humans to evolve underground... into Naytibas. She sends the majority of the Andro-Eidos in a Forever War to slaughter the Naytibas so that they would all fall under her control. If EVE chooses to stand against her, she becomes the true Big Bad outright.
- Karma Houdini: She has yet to be faced directly by EVE and no doubt will continue plotting to either destroy her or bend her to her will.
- Machine Worship: She is worshipped as a Goddess by the survivors of Earth.
- The Unfought: So far, she hasn't been battled directly, instead remote-controlling Providence to deal with Adam and EVE in her place.
- Villain Override: She seizes control of Providence away from Lily and attempts to wipe out EVE and Adam combined.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She seems to sincerely believes her "love" for humans is real and that she is helping humanity evolve by making the Andro-Eidos the "new" human race… at the cost of all organic people.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: When EVE, her own subordinate, performs a Fusion Dance with Adam, Mother Sphere seizes this opportunity to rid the world of the Elder as well as the most powerful Andro-Eidos ever created and remote-controls the Providence armor to annihilate them both in one fell swoop.
Xion
The last remaining populated city on Earth. Though numbers have dwindled greatly since its heyday, the people continue to live, and can do better with EVE helping around.Leadership
Orcal
Voiced by: Seol Young-beom (KR), Stephen Schreiber (EN), Mugihito (JP)
The Prophet of Xion. He serves as the city's spiritual leader, and aids Eve in finding the location of the Alpha Naytibas (and ultimately the Elder Naytiba)
- Big Good: Possibly the only person the entirety of Earth has as one, caring for all who live in Xion while aiding EVE on her task to defeat the Naytibas.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: There are numerous accusations that paint the prophet as this, not helped by side quests revealing Naytibas have been snuck into Xion and never reappear because they were supposedly "dealt with", or Orcal always excused the Colony's presence that it's enough to warrant suspicion. The scene after fighting the Unidentified Naytiba settles things, revealing that while he was once an Alpha Naytiba who killed people, he was taken by the kindness of some people who nursed him after a grievous injury and wished to atone for the blood he spilled through watching over Xion. While some people were right to suspect his harboring a huge secret (albeit being an Andro-Eidos-Naytiba fusion now), he has always been true to his word.
- Cyborg: In every sense of the word—while initially thought of as a human with cybernetic enhancements, he is really the first Alpha Naytiba, using an Andro-Eidos body with a human component being the Alpha Naytiba Core, once it's revealed that Naytibas were humans.
- Meaningful Name: Is pronounced "Oracle", as in the Oracle of Delphi.
Royal Guards
Rael

Voiced by: Chong Yu-mi (KR), Creator/Laila Pyne (EN)
The enigmatic guardian of Altess Levoire. Shael
Voiced by: Chong Yu-mi (KR), Creator/Laila Pyne (EN)
The Royal Guard member who guards Abyss Levoire.Sentinels
Mann
Orcal's right-hand man and bodyguard who also serves as the commander of the Sentinels.
- The Worf Effect: Though it's hard to blame him, considering Raven is by far the most powerful, skilled, and vicious of all the Alphas.
Min
A Sentinel lamenting his being the last man standing of his squad, who all died covering his escape from an Abaddon in the Great Desert.
Su
A gruff Sentinel who often stays by Enya's side to care for her.
- Bait-and-Switch: The final mission of his questline with Enya seems to hint that he would die, with EVE finding evidence of him getting into deadly trouble in the wasteland, sharing the fate of most other targets of the game's missing person sidequests. However, she eventually finds him hiding in a container, albeit badly injured, and is able to bring him back to Enya.
Citizens
Enya
The singer of The Last Gulp, though catatonic by the time EVE happens upon her. Lily can be requested to have her fixed.
- Anger Born of Worry: Exhibits this after Su mysteriously stops visiting the bar, then gets fully mad at him once he returns when it turns out he was looking for legs to fit Enya with. She admits she does want to walk, but not at the cost of Su's life.
Francis
A devout believer of Mother Sphere who also owns a bookstore. His missing brother, Felix, is a devotee as much as Francis, and he wishes to retrieve the Book of Faith they both shared.
Kasim
Voiced by: Park Seong-tae (KR), Andrew Wheildon Dennis (EN)
Hairstylist of Gwen Hair Salon. He can offer EVE a variety of different hairstyles.- Face of a Thug: Thanks to his facial cybernetics on top of his build and gear, Kasim looks less like a soldier and more like a Maelstrom ganger from Cyberpunk 2077. Luckily, he's nowhere near as dangerous; he's just a hairstylist by trade.
- Outliving One's Offspring: His daughter Gwen died some time ago; her death is the reason he continues to cut hair.
Kaya
"Ah… Angel… I can't believe the Angel is here!"
Voiced by: Jung Hye-won (KR), Holly Earl (EN)
A young girl who is the sole shopkeeper and mechanic of Sisters' Junk.- Hero-Worshipper: Though it's usual for Xion's citizens to hold Airborne Members they call "Angels" in high esteem, they sometimes treat EVE with disdain, casualness or cynicism given how the Colony hasn't helped them much. Kaya, straight away in her introduction, is one of the few to show respect unanimously to EVE to the point of giving away an important Tetrapod part free of charge, all because she believes EVE has come to help Xion; EVE had to insist on offering to look for her abandoned bike and trunk in the Wasteland as alternative repayment.
- Searching for the Lost Relative: After returning her lost trunk for her side quest, EVE asks why her shop is called Sisters' Junk. She explains that she has an older sister who went missing in the desert, and though she hasn't come back for a long time now, she holds out hope by keeping the shop's name the same.
Roxanne
An information dealer found beside Xion's Bulletin Board. This woman is questionable with her business, but her intel is nevertheless reliable.
The Naytibas
The main monsters EVE fights. Hordes and hordes of mutated things that kill without reason, they have destroyed Earth as we know it. Naytibas in General
- Body Horror: They aren’t really nice for the eye, usually being grotesque perversions of human bodies with tentacles and chainsaws being possible appendages, on top of animalistic critter and beasts added to the mix.
- Chainsaw Good: Several of them possess chainsaw-shaped heads, and the boss Belial uses twin chainsaw swords.
- Eldritch Abomination: Whatever these things are, there are three facts to be said about them: they're all gross to look at, they'll kill anything that moves, and they can't be reasoned with. Delving into the Levoire labs reveals that they're in reality Genetic Abominations, products of the real humans' effort to evolve themselves with the capability to defeat the Andro-Eidos attempting to take their place... which did happen, at the cost of their minds.
- Enemy to All Living Things: All Naytiba have it out for everything living, being the biggest reason why anywhere outside Xion is unlivable and forced humankind to evacuate the planet. EVE, one of the few people capable of fighting Naytiba, is specifically tasked with eliminating the Elder Naytiba controlling them for humanity's sake.
- Expy: They are basically the Mechanical Lifeforms from NieR: Automata, a massive horde of monsters that have forced humanity out of space and are being slaughtered by a Action Girl and her male counterpart. Moreover, their true nature of being the true form of humanity having gone feral due to experimentation makes them closer to the Gestalts of Nier. Or due to their gigantic and highly monstrous forms, the Beasts from Sukasuka, with the fact that the biggest and the final one being personally related with the protagonist.
- Meaningful Name: The Naytiba were previously called "NA:tives" in early previews of the game. It's meant to be the corruption of that very word of a "Native". As in "Native Earth denizens".
- Mechanical Monster: Besides the malfunctioning droids encountered in the Wasteland and Great Desert, it turns out that the robots around the space elevator are parasitized by Naytibas. The Droid enemy in particular can get back up crawling with their upper halves left after being destroyed the first time, making them closer to robot zombies.

- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: How it brutally murders Tachy. Or so it seemed…
- It Can Think: The downright sadistic and cruel manner in which it brutalizes the two remaining 7th Airborne Division members and a later statement that it feels immense hatred for its enemies serves to exemplify this.
- It's Personal with the Dragon: It may not be the leader of all Naytibas, but it has the greatest enmity with EVE, and for good reason.
- One-Hit Kill: The battle introduces instant kill attacks that have orbs that have to be shot down quickly. If they go through charging up, the attack kills EVE regardless of how much health she has.

Gigas
The first Alpha encountered in Eidos 7.
