Character Summary: Captain Commander of the Gotei United, Murasaki is driven, confident, and will never accept anything but the best from herself. She will always help others to improve in turn, but she is quick, to the point, and refuses to accept half-measures. People who get on her bad side will rarely leave it.


Age: 26

Affiliation: Unaffiliated.
Sexuality: Who cares.
Relationship: Looking for her.
Conviction: Defeat Is Inevitable; I’ll Lose Last.
Abilities: Brute force and raw energy reserves.
CV: Masakazu Morita

Character Summary: Ichigo has no hope left in the world, and no will left to carry on. His only motivation comes in the form of his search for the 12 Rings of the Dead, which he intends to use to bring back Orihime Inoue. He currently travels with Tier Harribel, Lilynette Gingerbuck, and Ignacio Vega, and while he would never admit it openly, or even to himself, they are important to him.


Age: ~290
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Kuchiki Family, Gotei United Seventh Division General Member, Shino Academy teacher.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship: Shiro (Boyfriend)
Conviction: I’m Not Through Yet.
Abilities: Master Kido practitioner, exceptional spiritual power, lots of ice.
CV: Fumiko Orikasa

Character Summary: Rukia is certainly not the same young woman that she was 100 years ago, and this is quite apparent in her actions and in her words. She feels rather old, despite her relatively young age among shinigami, and she wonders occasionally if there is any more place for someone like her in the world. Despite this, however, she strives to do whatever she can to better things around her, even if this occasionally means that she has to bend the rules. Perhaps, in that sense, she hasn't changed so much at all.


Age: 1081
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Koizumi Family Head, Shino Academy Instructor, Gotei United Seventh Division Vice Captain
Sexuality: Makoto Arima
Relationship: See Above
Conviction: Both Truth And Lies Are Crushed By My Fist.
Abilities: Exceptional hakuda and kido mastery.
CV: Toa Yukinari (Rose Aleon, Birdie Wing)

Character Summary: Having abandoned her facade as simply a reserved and elegant noblewoman, Shishiyuki nevertheless remains a composed and confident individual. She has chosen to live her life as she sees fit, but this does not mean she will let any harm befall her family. The Koizumi, for all of their faults, are her kin, and she will bring them into a new age even if she has to drag them there herself.


Age: 22
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Sawachika Family, Gotei United Eighth Division 20th Seat.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Relationship: Single
Conviction: A True Man Never Hides.
Abilities: Physical strength, excellent architectural prowess.
CV: Hiroki Yasumoto (Masakazu Togo, School Rumble)

Character Summary: To call Kyo "to the point" would be a tremendous understatement of just how forward this man really is. Kyo will always speak his mind to the absolute fullest. He isn't afraid to make mistakes in his speech, or to embarrass himself, as he firmly believes it's better to simply make a mistake and correct it than to operate under a mistaken assumption. He's boisterous, proud, and perhaps overbearing, but loyal and a good man through and through.


Age: 33
Race: Fullbringer, Quincy-in-Training.
Affiliations: Vandenreich, Todgestalten Coordinator
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship: Alastair Eisfluch (Boyfriend)
Conviction: Run Until You Can Fight Back.
Abilities: Guerilla warfare specialist and very powerful energy absorption.
CV: Sayaka Ohara (Milly Ashford, Code Geass)

Character Summary: A widow whose life was upended by the destruction of World War 4, Reida seeks little beyond a world where everyone can simply live in peace, without needing to worry that they might have to suffer like she has. However, she hides this intensity behind a veneer of relaxed Southern hospitality, and she is certainly one of the most outgoing and generally friendly people in the Vandenreich.


Age: About 350.
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Unaffiliated.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: My Pride Is Unwavering.
Abilities: One of the greatest practitioners of hakuda to ever live, and a stellar all-around combatant even outside of that.
CV: Houko Kuwashima

Character Summary: Having been burned by both her former master and by the organization to which she would have given everything, Shaoling has chosen instead to wander the Earth with her student. It may seem an empty life, but she is fulfilled by it. At least, for now.


Age: 28
Race: High-Spec Human
Affiliation: Reichsritter of the Holy Roman Empire
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: No Obstacle Is Too Great.
Abilities: Exceptional physical prowess and wild, unrefined energy.
CV: Asami Tano (Fediel, Granblue Fantasy)

Character Summary: A bold, larger than life presence everywhere that she goes, Rafaela is a girl that has never once let her small demeanor get in the way of her goals or ambitions. She makes sure that everyone knows her name, and she has a confident swagger about everything she does. However, her overall aim in all of this is not to aggrandize herself, but to inspire others. If a tiny girl like her can be strong, anyone can.


Age: Unknown
Race: Arrancar
Affiliation: Self-interested; works loosely with Crown.
Sexuality: Variable.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: The Pinnacle of Evolution is Universal Domination.
Abilities: Adaptability and Cero mastery.
CV: Atsuko Yuya (Tsuruga Meisai, Katanagatari)

Character Summary: A woman who wants to see nothing more than change for its own sake, whether that be good or bad. Kizuna believes that evolution should never stop, and that stagnation is the absolute worst possible thing that can occur. If things aren't progressing, she'll make them progress. If they're going smoothly, she'll throw a wrench in the works. If it's all burning down, she'll save the day. She just wants to see the status quo change.


Age: 144
Race: Modified Arrancar
Affiliation: His own skin.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: Sometimes Cowards Survive.
Abilities: Unique Quincy-like abilities, extremely adept at running away.
CV: Hiroki Touchi (Ferdinand, Granblue Fantasy); Small Mode - Ryou Hirohashi (Susumu Sazaki, Gundam Build Fighters)

Character Summary: A coward above all else, Klein will do anything if it means that he'll live to see another day. He's a lying, conniving, backstabbing little cretin, but if you know what you're dealing with, he's also a remarkably effective ally, and has quite the impressive cunning. If you want him on your side, try baiting him with headpats from a well-endowed woman.


Age: 119 (As of 2123)
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Gotei United 6th Division, 8th Seat
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: TBA
Abilities: Well-rounded and skilled shinigami, with notably high energy reserves.
CV: Makio Inoue (Harlock, Space Pirate Captain Harlock)

Character Summary: The son of Momo Hinamori and Sosuke Aizen, Toki is a well-meaning man who intends to be the best shinigami he is capable of. Dutiful, polite, and generally well-mannered, Toki's pleasant demeanor is typically only broken up if someone chooses to speak ill of his mother.


Age: Not important. (39)
Race: Human (Substitute Shinigami)
Affiliation: Gotei United, Medical Leave
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: Bomb The System.
Abilities: Kido expert, generally physical adept. Blows things up very well.
CV: Akari Kitou (Illnott, Granblue Fantasy)

Character Summary: Bambietta is an ex-convict currently going through the process of reforming. She has a great deal of explosive tendencies, and she understands that, if she wants to actually live a productive life, she has no choice but to rein them in and try to improve as a person. It's not especially easy for her, and she knows that her motivation is fairly selfish, but that doesn't change that she's giving it her all to be better.




Age: 519
Race: High-Spec Human
Affiliation: Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Relationship: Married to Himiko Shikimura.
Conviction: Regret Is The Foundation Of Progress.
Abilities: Peak physical specimen, master of martial arts.
CV: Sho Hayami

Character Summary: Erchanhardt is a man who believes that anyone is capable of change if they are willing to put forward the effort to do so. Of course, this is born of his own regrets in life, and it can perhaps be said that much of what pushes him forward in life is to simply make up for the sins he has committed in the past.



Age: 58
Race: Vizard
Affiliation: Gotei United, Third Division Vice Captain.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Relationship: Married to Minerva St. Vendemiaire.
Conviction: Pity Is Treason; Treason Is Unforgiveable.
Abilities: Exceptional understanding of zanpakuto and kido, and possessor of a guillotine which can completely obliterate souls.
CV: Kenichi Suzumura

Character Summary: Julian is a man of absolutes, a believer in justice and righteousness for the people at any cost. Though he once put forward every last bit of his effort into a revolution to destroy the Gotei United, their reforms to the Rukongai and change in policies have led him to ally himself with them, and to enforce their law so long as it continues to benefit the people of the Rukongai.



Age: 35
Race: Mongrel
Affiliation: CEO of the Duvalier Group
Sexuality: Asexual
Relationship: Single
Conviction: Burn The World To Ashes.
Abilities: Unfathomable wealth and corporate influence.
CV: Maaya Sakamoto (Olivia, Granblue Fantasy)

Character Summary: Above everything else, Claudia loves nothing more than to know that she has caused someone else to suffer. This is not some sort of sexual interest in pain, but rather an earnest joy found in the knowledge that the lives of others have been made worse, or simply ended outright. However, Claudia knows that she cannot simply create a world which is filled with nothing but violence; and so, instead, she has built up a corporate empire which can always fund warfare and strife, all while she builds nations up simply to see them fall.




Age: 32
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Heir to the Kyoraku Family.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship: Kazuya Koga.
Conviction: I Will Change The World.
Abilities: Self-control, exceptional knowledge of diplomacy and negotiation, and having powerful friends.
CV: Miyuki Sawashiro

Character Summary: A staunchly legalistic woman who has, over time, softened at least somewhat marginally. It is difficult to contact her outside an official capacity, due simply to the amount of duties she maintains for herself.


Age: 151
Race: Quincy
Affiliation: Grandmaster of the Vandenreich.
Sexuality: Heterosexual (technically).
Relationship: Arcadia (Girlfriend)
Conviction: I’ll Carry The World On My Shoulders.
Abilities: Charisma. Basic Quincy capabilities.
CV: Male - Jouji Nakata (Kotomine Kirei, Fate Series); Female - Masayo Kurata (Fasalina, Gun X Sword)

Character Summary: Former leader of the Vandenreich, and a former bearer of the power of the Soul King, Cyrus is finally content in his retirement.



Age: 8000+
Race: Martian
Affiliation: Representative of the Martian Collective and high-ranking member of Lux Orior.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship: Married to Chifuyu Carter
Conviction: Thou Art God.
Abilities: Exceptional psychic power, and access to the Martian Collective.
CV: Hikaru Midorikawa

Character Summary: Valentine is something of an enigma when interacting with others, and it is extremely difficult to gauge what he is thinking at any given moment. Something is clearly off about him the moment that one speaks to him, though of course it is difficult to discern what. However, this strange nature is wholly cultivated on his behalf, and he could in truth simply act like a totally normal human if he wanted to. He, however, prefers to seem very strange.



Age: ?
Race: Shinigami
Affiliation: Gotei United, Seventh Division General Member
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Relationship: Yugiri (Girlfriend)
Conviction: Paint Over The Past.
Abilities: Highly skilled swordsman and passive manipulator of spiritual energy.
CV: Kaneto Shiozawa (Rei, Fist of the North Star)

Character Summary: Fuuen is, fundamentally, a very flighty man, one who resembles a gentle breeze simply passing through. He is a kind soul, and a pacifist through and through, but one who shows surprising attachment to his convictions. He abhors violence, and appreciates the finer things in life. Nothing is greater, so far as he is concerned, than a life well-lived.



Age: Functionally 25.
Race: Powerless Human
Affiliation: Vandenreich business affiliate.
Sexuality: Irrelevant.
Relationship: Single.
Conviction: I Am Me.
Abilities: Significant wealth and connections.
CV: Maaya Sakamoto (Haruhi Fujioka, Ouran High School Host Club)

Character Summary: A woman born with nothing and still robbed of everything, Arlette has become an individual despite the wishes of her creator. She is vengeful, spiteful, and above all driven to become her own woman.



Age: 35
Race: Quincy
Affiliation: Vandenreich, Albedochiffren Administrator
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship: Liltotto Lamperd (Girlfriend)
Conviction: Above All, Keep It Simple.
Abilities: Somewhat prodigious quincy talents, without much applied understanding yet. Master culinarian.
CV: Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Aglovale, Granblue Fantasy)

Character Summary: At one time, Dorian was one of the greatest chefs in all of Europe, and possibly even the world. His skills have certainly not diminished, but he has realized that his pursuit of perfection caused him to abandon his reasons for cooking in the first place; to help others enjoy life. To that aim, he has completely abandoned his career and gone to assist the Vandenreich, in the hopes of creating a better world for others.



Age: Old.
Race: Danava of Social Order
Affiliation: Vandenreich, Albedochiffren Director.
Sexuality: Theosexual
Relationship: Betrothed
Conviction: Everything Belongs In Its Place.
Abilities: Binding supernatural contracts and laws.
CV: Yumi Touma (Cecily Fairchild, Gundam F91)

Character Summary: More friendly than one might expect for a woman defined by order and legalism, Ninsianna believes in the value of structure at all times. Being the Danava of Social Order certainly informs her personality to a stunning degree, and it is rare that she allows much of anything to occur in her life without a contract to ensure that it is handled in a particular way. Despite this, she is well-meaning, someone who believes in the benefit of this order rather than one who wishes to enforce it as a tyrant.



Age: 15
Race: Human-Demon Hybrid
Affiliation: Her family.
Sexuality: Homosexual
Relationship: Inanna Kishar (Best Best Friend Forever)
Conviction: I Believe In Miracles.
Abilities: A magical girl with the power of sparkle, pizzazz, and explosions.
CV: Chinami Nishimura (Reika Aoki, Smile PreCure)

Character Summary: A soul untainted by the realities of the world, Vegas is an optimist in the truest possible sense, someone who will always support her friends and who genuinely believes that, in the end, everything will be okay. She doesn't simply think these things will happen out of nowhere, however, and because of this she is willing to always do her best in everything she does. She's not particularly intelligent, nor is she especially strong, but her desire to do the right thing is enough to carry her through.



Age: 25
Race: Shinigami (Half Shoiki)
Affiliation: Third Seat of the Gotei's Sixth Division.
Sexuality: Bisexual-ish
Relationship: Divorced
Conviction: Catch What Can’t Be Caught, Hold What Can’t Be Held.
Abilities: Expert grappler and stellar practitioner of hoho.
CV: Yui Horie (Naru Narusegawa, Love Hina)

Character Notes: Kokoro is not a particularly complicated woman, and if anything, her intellect leaves a great deal to be desired. However, what she lacks in academic intelligence, she more than makes up for in emotional understanding and sheer drive to improve and succeed. She is an accomplished shinigami, both in her career and in her talents for the zankensoki, and should never be underestimated just because of her airheaded exterior.



Age: 68, but 17 physically.
Race: High-Spec Human
Affiliation: None at present.
Sexuality: That's a great question.
Relationship: Kasha Koizumi (Boyfriend)
Conviction: Ask Forgiveness, Not Permission.
Abilities: Pretty good at martial arts.
CV: Risa Shimizu (Amira, Granblue Fantasy)

Character Summary: Ira's current situation in life is not one that he would ever call preferable, but he isn't one to just idle around and be sad about it. The body he currently inhabits is that of his deceased granddaughter, and as such, he will do anything and everything to protect it. He's cocky, a womanizer, and not the brightest, but he has plenty of advice to give and all the time in the world to give it. Just don't expect him to share all his secrets for free.




Age: ?
Race: Divine
Affiliation: Love for all mankind.
Sexuality: The sun's warmth touches all.
Relationship: Santa Estallar, my dear moon
Conviction: The Sun Will Never Set.
Abilities: Divine intervention.

Character Summary: Mazda holds himself above all things, believing that his word and his existence are both of the most absolute importance. There are only a tremendously small handful of people whose words have any value in his eyes, and all others are considered nothing more than sheep to be watched over and cared for. To his credit, he is not a malicious being per se, and he will protect what he perceives as his children. His methods, however, are often extreme, and he is not a forgiving god.

Having ascended and merged with the Soul King, he is gone forever.



Age: 253
Race: Sueki
Affiliation: Listens only to himself.
Sexuality: ???
Relationship: Alpha Male
Conviction: Everything To Fear, Even Fear Itself.
Abilities: High physical prowess, predatory fear manipulation.
CV: Hidenobu Kiuchi (Merkava, Under Night)

Character Summary: To call Cresimir "deranged" would only be to drastically downplay the sheer degree of madness that he displays. Cresimir borders on the incomprehensible to anyone who is not himself, and his motives are nothing more than to cause others as much fear and misery as he is capable of inflicting upon them. He has no greater purpose, no higher aim. To him, fear is in itself a worthwhile aim.
