Cast
Player Characters
Kageaki Reichhart
Kageaki Reichhart, The Inerrant Executioner
"Now... I'll kill that fucked up illusion of yours!"
- Weapon Specialization: Kageaki Reichhart's true weapon proficiency lies in his guillotine-like wristblade. Despite that, he refuses to use it unless the situation is really serious. Most other weapons he uses end up breaking.
Satoshi Haruno
Satoshi Haruno, The Wrought Iron Blacksmith
Blacksmith, fighter, wielder, and leader. Satoshi Haruno was once an orphaned child who ran away from home after beheading his own father. Having been found and adopted by a woman, he took up her profession as a simple blacksmith, trying to master the craft and create the perfect blade. After a series of events that changed his view of life and bonds, Satoshi decided to fight for what he believes in, looking ahead in order to reach a better future. Now he fights as the leader of the Tuskur Rebellion, aiming to win the war (which he started) against Autumnwood and their knights.
"My body is a forge for swords."
- An Arm and a Leg: At some point in his past, a few years after his adoption, a fire breaks out at his mother's workshop, killing her and taking away his left arm. He soon replaces it with a prosthetic.
- Body Horror: His sword, the Houken, allows Satoshi the use of unique abilities. One such ability is transforming his ribs into blades which protrude out of his body. A similar thing is done with another ability, which temporarily patches wounds with knitted blades rather than scabs.
- Berserk Button: Whenever he is pushed to his limit, he unknowingly gains skills he shouldn't have...
- Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Using the Houken's abilities come at the cost of his own literal flesh, bone, and blood. If he overuses these techniques, there won't be much left of him.
- David Versus Goliath: Of all the people who prepared themselves to fight a powerful mafia boss with sharpened skills and over 200 years of experience, who is it that beats him? A half-dead teenager with a mini obsession with swords.
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: A strange and somewhat morbid fact about Satoshi is that basically all of his parental figures end up dying, sometimes by his own hands.
- Determinator: Seen especially near the end of the Subterra Arc. Having fought Romano Melaragno by himself, falling off of an elevated colony to the ground below, narrowly avoiding death fighting someone else, battling Romano again, all while having his insides slowly tear itself apart. Despite all of these serious circumstances, Satoshi REFUSED to back down.Satoshi: "Not yet... I still... have a job to do..."
- Expendable Clone: In the middle of the Subterra Arc, it was revealed that Satoshi is actually one of many clones made from the genetic template of Asahi Sakamoto. Given his designated number of #13028, it can be assumed he isn't as unique as he would hope.
- Happily Adopted: After his father's execution at his hands, Satoshi was taken in by a kind woman who helped him find a new home in hers. Too bad it didn't last.
- Self-Made Orphan: As a child, Satoshi was forced to carry out the execution of his father himself. Despite his unwillingness, he followed through with the order, as per his own father's wishes.
- Sociopathic Hero: Strangely, there are a few moments where Satoshi seemingly ceases to care about human life, either friend or foe, in the midst of battle.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: It's not even funny at this point. Even his abilities are tailored towards swords.
- Invocation: "Trace On." An incantation that allows him the ability to analyze the structure and even read the history of anything he sees. It also lets him replicate these things to a limited extent, with blades being a minor exception, the quality degrading less in comparison.
- Trauma-Induced Amnesia: As a result of him killing his own father, Satoshi hid his memories deep within himself, barely having any recollection of anything even remotely related. Years later, he has a dream that unlocks these memories, though still somewhat fragmented.
Ikago Nomura
Ikago Nomura, The Sheltered Inventor
Typhon of Catania
Typhon of Catania, The Iron Gladiator
Machine. Gladiator. Magus. Artist (this one's a work-in-progress). There's no shortage of ways to describe the former gladiator once forgotten by the world but rebirthed in blood within the brutal arena of the Pit of Catania. Rising from a self-identity of nothing, Typhon sought to depart from what he believed was the pointless noise of his homeland and venture out to other avenues of life, eventually leading into a journey where he seeks to prove to the world of his existence.While he may seem like a simple robotic brute from the outside, those who would speak with him quickly discovere that to him, there's more than meets the eye.
- Expy: Of Megatron (more specifically, his incarnation from the 2005 IDW comics). Includes plentiful various details of the character, ranging from undergoing trial-by-fire in gladiator combat, to his extreme fear and distates of having other people digging around in his inner anatomy.
- Gladiator Games: A significant part of Typhon's backstory before the events of the roleplay consists of this.
- Spock Speak: Much of Typhon's speech lacks contractions and is overly formal. Downplayed after his expulsion, where he learns to loosen up a bit in the company of his friends.
- Momma's Boy: To Doctor Tesla. Although Typhon goes through much of the early roleplay as an indomitable badass, he constantly makes calls to home in order to alleviate the worries of his overprotective guardian. Tesla seems to be the only person in the entirety of the roleplay that Typhon can't stand up to—even if she's less than 2/3rds his height.
- Shout-Out: Typhon expresses his admiration of international Pop sensation Hatsune Miku during a group conversation about how pirating a certain block game would invoke the ire of its Vocaloid creator.
- Art Attacker: His paint-splattering Seeker Missiles are an example of this.
- Made of Iron: Look at him.
Iris Glasser
Iris Glasser, The IRS
"Look Ma, I'm a Mayor!"
- Fantastic Racism: Iris Glasser's gang was formed because of the beastkin racism in Subterra.
- BFS: Iris Glasser can turn her companion Abbot into a giant sword, provided she has enough money to fulfill the contract. This is not her preferred weapon, but she uses it more than her bat.
Helios Nagamitsu
Helios Nagamitsu, The Wildcard

While one of the weakest members of Magus Generation, Bianca makes up for it with her ingenuity and tactical knowhow.

- Genius Ditz: Eris is a genius at Sigil crafting and can provide and make valuable strategies. Despite being brutish in combat, she's one of the most competent out there. But out of that, she's a complete ditz oftentimes making really stupid remarks and doing stupid actions.

- Ancient Conspiracy: Certain people such as Orpheus' mother Anna Kuroda, Saruta Shinjou and Kyojaku Mikula seem awfully in the know about some kind of worldly conspiracy. They all know that they're not actually on Earth and the true nature of the Solars as manipulative dictators. They however are not cooperating together.
- Artificial Limbs: Due to their advancements in technology, mechanical prosthetics are both real and widely available to the public.

- Helios Nagamitsu was offered a replacement, but he declined in favor of a laser cannon...
- Big, Screwed-Up Family: Cordelia Bersarius' family is filled with screw-ups, warlords and insane people all with their own agendas. Despite that, they all have one goal in common: to get rid of one of the 3 dominating factions, the Solars, the Silver Galaxy or Preaux no matter what.
- Brown Note: Loop 1 Eris makes use of a chant that has the tendency to drive weak-willed Mages insane. Allison, before her untimely death, was actually corrupted by her chant.
- Cast from Hit Points: Satoshi Haruno's Houken makes use of his own flesh and blood to attack. He only uses these attacks, labelled "Justices", when absolutely necessary.
- Clones Are People, Too: In comparison to their Loop 1 counterparts, the MG cast all have enough noticeable differences that they can be considered different people. The only exclusion being Satoshi, who is scarily close to becoming just like his other self. Despite the fact that he has the most clones.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Arsene Masamoto.
- Destructive Saviour: The true history of the Muramasa, Arsene's blade, is that of the savior of the Blacken War. However it resulted in the deaths of an untold amount of Mages, leading it to be lost to history as to not incite more bloody battles.

- Katanas Are Just Better: For some reason, two out of the five Legendary Swords are based off of katanas.

- After the End: Magus Generation takes place after God razed and destroyed the world, with humanity fighting back. The truth of the story is, humanity caused their own downfall. "God" is a stand in for humanity's pride in thinking that they can surpass God by trying to make superior life. This led to the death of half of the population of mankind.
- Mage Species: Only Mages can use magic. Ordinaries however cannot. It's later revealed that Ordinaries can gain the ability to use magic, becoming Demi-Mages through various means. Shortly after, it's also revealed that the magic Mages use refer to Sigils. Ordinaries can make use of Circulation and True Circulation, which means they can use supernatural abilities.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: The Solar 7 hide and censor all news of war to try and keep the world in its utopian state. This however comes to an end when Satoshi Haruno's rebellion becomes too big just to censor and also due to Bianca Martelli's journalism blog which gained traction due to it.
