Characters

• Ein (from Phantom - PHANTOM OF INFERNO) - A girl codenamed "Phantom". She was the strongest assassin for the secret organization known as Inferno. A cold-blooded killer with no known past, she changed when she met her partner. Together with him, she escaped the organization, and the two of them are now on the run.
• Al Azif (from Demonbane) - The physical manifestation of spirit that lives within the world's strongest magical tome. Although she's roughly 1,000 years old, she has a petite and unassuming appearance. Despite that appearance, she has a very arrogant personality.
• Mora (from Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia) - A young dhampir - one who was born of both a vampire and a human. She may look like a young girl on the outside, but on the inside, she is cool, calculated and experienced. Her superhuman athleticism gives her great prowess as a vampire hunter.
• Ruili (from Kikokugai: The Cyber Slayer) - A female gynoid who was born from Cybernetics technology. The younger sister of Kong Taoluo, Kong Ruili's seperated soul was fused back together with an installed program and learned the Chinese art of Kenpo.
• Anna (from Gekkou no Carnevale) - An automata that was found in the dumpster with no memory. Even though she is artificial, she has a hard time learning, takes her time, and is clumsy, but she has a hard-to-hate personality. When she engages in battle, she wields silver stakes called Vernier, as they take shape like wings.
• Saya (from Song of Saya) - An inhuman being from another world. It can normally take on multiple forms, but to one Fuminori Sakisaka, who sees everything as piles of flesh, it appears as the world's only normal girl.
• Ignis (from Jingai Makyou) - From ancient times, the Three Protectors have defended humanity from the shadows. She is one of them and is known as the Noblest Blade. She has a very cunning personality and her actions are crafty and calculated. Her skills are purely physical, and she hunts monsters with the use of weapons and traps.
• Muramasa (from Full Metal Daemon Muramasa) - One of the Tsurugis that houses a spirit. She is the third bearer of the Seishuu Uemon-no-jou Muramasa, which is also known as the "cursed armor". Normally, she is a red colored spider, but due to the "human transformation law", she can also take the form of a woman.
• Ethica (from Tokyo Necro) - A brash beauty who works with Nagaoka Souun as a Living Dead Stalker. She wields a wide array of weapons, including a chainsaw Rabbit Punch, a fully automatic shotgun (with a bayonet) and an assault rifle (with another bayonet), switching between them freely depending on the situation. Unlike her partner, Ethica tends to act impulsively, relying on her intuition more than on cold logic. She also happens to be a lesbian who is extremely fond of cute girls.
• Saber (from Fate Stay/Night) - Even though her appearance is a girl, she is a Servant who was once a legendary swordsman. Her Noble Phantasm converts her mana into her holy sword and can project slashes of "light".
• Ouka (from OKSTYLE) - Nitroplus's former mascot character, the goth loli weapon of mass destruction, Exterminator Ouka! With the mysterious animal-esque Pandagawa by her side, she aims to reclaim her throne through some hard work and a little bit of elbow grease.
• Sonico ‡ (from Nitroplus) - A hard working modern-day college student who's a part-time gravure model, waitress at her hometown pub, and the vocalist and guitarist for her band, First Astronomical Velocity. She lives on her own with her five cats. Her favorite foods are chashu ramen and macarons.
• Heart Aino ‡† - Full of energy. Pure and innocent. Simple-minded. She really believes that there are no bad people in the world. For the sake of love and peace, she runs all throughout Japan with the guidance of the love arcana, Partinias, who was with her ever since her childhood.
• Homura ‡† (from Senran Kagura) - She was originally affiliated with Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy but she is currently working as the leader of a renegade team, "Homura's Crimson Squad." She is full of emotion and has a straight personality when it comes to her friends. She respects and recognizes strength, even in her enemies.

Boss

• Al-Azif Ex-Mortis † - A girl with the appearance of Al-Azif who seemed to have been the one who dragged everyone into this world.

Partner Character

• Natsumi (from Hello, world.) - The main heroine of "Hello, world." and a classmate of Kazuki, its protagonist. The story almost always comes back to her. The natural klutz-but-kind-to-everyone character, loves small animals and not good at thinking or at sports.
• Henri (from Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu -Angelos Armas-) - An angel with an appearance of a young girl and a strong-willed character. Hates people who die with regrets, calling them the "Sources of Dissonance".
• Dragon (from Dra†KoI) - A mysterious girl with masculine speech patterns. She lacks common sense and tends to look down on everyone, but still remains a maiden who dreams of pure love.
• Kaigen (from Hanachirasu) - A war weteran who has overthrown the Japanese government of the Showa era. After establishing the dictatorship of "Immortal Empire of Tokyo" and appointing herself as its prime minister, she has proceeded to protect its national spirit from the Western culture.

• Miyuki (from Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi.) - A smart and beautiful school idol. Has a vast array of talents, batting being one of them. She's rarely seen without her bat, and can often be found at the town's local batting center practicing her swings. Loves cats more than anything in the world despite being allergic to them.
• Aoi (from Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi.) - Given that she's a character who focuses on getting in contact with god through her chants of "touarururururu~"s, it's no wonder that Aoi is someone whose presence isn’t noticed by others – or rather, ignored. A classmate of Shinichi and Miyuki's, her brain is full of nothing but games. Poor at socializing, both Shinichi and Miyuki feel like she’s unable to draw a line between reality and VNs, having them seamlessly merge.
• Yoishi (from Phenomeno) - A 16-year-old schoolgirl who frequents an occult website "Ikaigabuchi". Although she has great curiosity that allows her to explore various occult spots without fear, she has a habit of vomiting when she feels malice.
• Mugen (from D.Y.N. FREAKS) - A magic user who has escaped from the Asylum medical institution to prevent "Hellhazard". Her left eye belongs to Yog-Sothoth himself, allowing her to manipulate causality at will.
• Amy (from Suisei no Gargantia) - A young girl who works as a messenger on the great fleet of Gargantia. She possesses great curiosity and never loses her cheerful smile.
• Angela (from Rakuen Tsuihou: Expelled from Paradise) - Angela was raised in a Matrix-like computer system on a space station orbiting a post-apocalyptic Earth. After a hacker from the devastated planet Earth below breaks into the system, she is tasked with finding and stopping the hacker in the real world. To do this, she is transferred into a clone body, given a mech, and told to meet up with an agent living on Earth named Dingo.
• Yuki (from School-Live!) - A cheerful high school girl who loves school to the point of creating a "School Live Club" and spending the nights in the school building. However, she is unaware of the fact that the daily life she loves so much has been long gone.
• Akane (from PSYCHO-PASS) - The newly assigned Inspector of Unit 1. Considered a model citizen due to her ever calm demeanor and for passing the exams with the highest score for employment on several public sectors and private corporations. She decided to join the police due to being the only place where no one obtained a score as high as hers, thus she believes to be able to do something there that no one else can.
• Franco (from Zoku Satsuriku no Django -Jigoku no Shoukinkubi-) - An outlaw hero from the planet of Sweetwater with a large bounty on her head. The great gun "Black Eagle" is her trademark. Has a carefree, easygoing personality.
• Sakura (from Axanael) - A blonde “gangster” who is strangely looking for Doujinshi on New Year’s Eve for her brother who is hospitalized. She is an honest, straightforward person who still has a girly side of being easily influenced by fortune-telling and the like.
• Alushia (from Hakubou no Dendoushi) - A child of an elf and a human, she is shunned by the elven race due to being of impure blood. She has been betrayed by humans many times, as well, making it very difficult for her to rely on anyone.
• Spica (from Sumaga) - The self-proclaimed genius Etoile (witch). Since she was brought up in a noble family, she lacks common sense in some aspects of life, and although she doesn't bond with people too easily, she really cares for those who do matter to her.

Although she has been deemed a "failed product", Carol is the only one who is resistant to the crystallization effect of Scrooge's right hand; however, her Void does not have a definite form, and takes a different shape each time Scrooge draws it out.
• Sonico (Partner ver.) - A university student who works as a gravure model and aspires to become a rock star. She performs as a member of the girl band "First Cosmic Velocity", being its guitarist and vocalist.
• Ina (from Tokyo Necro) - A cheerful, easygoing girl who has become the target of necromancers. Despite having lost a portion of her memories, she is well-versed in 20th century otaku culture, often speaking in outdated manner because of that.
