Legend Fandom Characters Guide
And here's the guide for main fandom characters guide, there are a few more minor characters whom I did not come up with, but that's for you to recognise.
X/1999 cast:
Shirō Kamui:
A brooding young man, who possesses immense spiritual and psychic power which, according to the anime TV series, manifested at an early age. It is his destiny to decide whether the world should be destroyed so it may be reborn without humanity or save the world so humanity can continue to live in its current state.
In Kamui's childhood, he lived in Tōkyō, across the street from the Togakushi Jinja. Shortly after moving in, Kamui became fast friends with Fūma and Kotori. Kamui and Kotori showed affection for each other at a very early age, which culminated in Kamui asking Kotori whether he could become her "bride". He has sworn to Fuuma to protect her and never make her cry, and in exchange Fuuma promised to protect him. (In the TV series, this and several other childhood scenes from the manga were replaced by a scene in which young Kamui prevents Kotori from falling out of a tree at the risk of his own life. After this incident, Fūma, grateful to Kamui for saving his younger sister, pledged to Kamui that should he ever need help, Fūma would come to his aid.)
At the age of nine, Kamui left Tōkyō with his mother and moved to Okinawa. Although there are implications (which were positively confirmed in the anime TV series) that Kamui was involved in some physical altercations, he and Tōru lived in relative peace for six years, until Tōru's death. As Tōru burned alive, preventing Kamui from saving her with her own power, she implored Kamui to return to Tōkyō in order to seek his destiny.
Upon his return, Kamui initially appears as cold, ruthless, and quite unsympathetic - which causes Daisuke, Arashi, and Hinoto to worry that Kamui might choose his destiny as a Dragon of Earth - but this is revealed to be an act to drive Kotori and Fūma away in order to prevent them from being harmed. Kamui's ultimate goal is to retrieve the Shinken from the Togakushi Jinja and then to leave Tōkyō again as quickly as possible. Kamui initially comes into contact with Daisuke, Arashi, and Hinoto in quite abrasive manners, resulting in several pitched battles. After Sorata's and Yuzuriha's respective arrivals, though, Kamui's violent behavior is tempered somewhat by their friendly demeanors.
Kamui ultimately chooses his destiny as one of the Ten no Ryū, forcing Fūma to join with the Chi no Ryū.
After Kotori's death and Fūma's disastrous awakening as the other Kamui, he falls into a state of catatonia. After Subaru retrieved Kamui's consciousness from the depths of his soul, the two mutually identified with one another, having lived through heartbreakingly similar circumstances of the death of loved ones at the hands of a close friend or lover.
Arisugawa Sorata:
An upbeat, irreverent teenager possessing considerable occult abilities, raised by the Shingon Buddhist monks of Kōyasan after being taken away from his mother at a young age. A gourmand, he was frequently in trouble at the shrine for stealing food between meals (insisting that he couldn't wait until dinner), and is also a competent cook. It was prophesied that he would protect Kamui with his life, but that he would die for a woman. In the anime, the prophecy is realized as he dies defending Arashi from Fūma's Shinken, despite her earlier attempts to kill Kamui. He has yet to die in the manga, but is currently in the act of confronting Hinoto after discovering she has kidnapped Arashi and was setting up each of the Dragons of Heaven in order to kill them.
Kishū Arashi:
A foundling girl raised by Shintō priests at Ise Jingū, and the Dragon of Heaven most immediately in touch with Princess Hinoto. Called the "Hidden Priestess of Ise", her specialty is swordfighting, a massive sword emerging from her left hand. Despite her cold, stoic front, Sorata falls in love with her, and ultimately she comes to reciprocate. In the anime she is convinced by Fūma that she must join the Dragons of Earth and kill Kamui in order to release Sorata from his obligation to defend him. In so doing, she ends up causing the death of her lover, and loses her abilities as a Dragon of Heaven.
Nekoi Yuzuriha:
A fourteen-year-old schoolgirl descended from the keepers of Mitsumine Jinja, attended by a dog-spirit named Inuki who can transform into anything Yuzuriha desires and which only others with occult powers can see. Inuki is later killed by Satsuki, but reborn. Yuzuriha is exceedingly genki (energetic), often diffusing latent tension between Kamui and the rest of the Ten no Ryū. Yuzuriha's uncanny ability to allay Kamui's suspicions and earn his trust seems slightly tongue-in-cheek in that Yuzuriha essentially has dealt with wolf-like inugami her entire life, and Kamui's demeanor towards the rest of the Dragons of Heaven prior to Yuzuriha's appearance was rather wolfish-a play on Kamui's familial name. Yuzuriha was teased throughout much of her childhood as her classmates believed she was making up stories when she talked about Inuki (whom they had thought to be Yuzuriha's imaginary friend). Because of this, Yuzuriha makes a promise to herself and to Inuki that she will never fall in love with (or even date) a man who cannot see Inuki. Incidentally, the first person outside of her family who can see Inuki that Yuzuriha meets is Shiyū Kusanagi-a Dragon of Earth. Yuzuriha falls in love with Kusanagi, regardless of their conflicting fates.
Sumeragi Subaru:
A character imported from the earlier CLAMP series Tōkyō Babylon, Subaru is the 13th Head of the Sumeragi Ichimon, a clan of onmyōji. Once a cheerful yet bashful teenager, at the end of the earlier series the man he loved, Sakurazuka Seishirō, emerged as a ruthless and unfeeling magical assassin and killed his twin sister Hokuto; he has thus grown into a sad, reticent young man, obsessed with settling the score with his former lover. Although initially uninterested in the battle for the end of the world, he is convinced to join the Dragons of Heaven and pulls Kamui out of the catatonic state the boy was thrown into after the death of Kotori. The two share a close friendship based on the similar hardships they have faced. Subaru had at first searched for Seishirō intending to take revenge, but discovered that he couldn't banish the love he felt for the assassin from his heart. Therefore, he wishes for Seishirō to kill him instead, and trained hard as an onmyōji in the hope that the Sakurazukamori would one day consider him enough of a threat to carry this out.
Kasumi Karen:
A Soapland call girl (Think of The Police's Roxanne….) and devout Catholic, she was abused by her fundamentalist mother when her power to manipulate fire manifested in her childhood. She comes to admire Aoki, and in the anime series, she loses her life saving him from Yūto. In the manga, Karen has yet to die and was last seen backing up Kamui along with Seiichirō and Yuzuriha during the beginning of the Final Battle. It is suggested (especially in later volumes of the manga) that Karen feels a strong affection-and probably a romantic attraction-for Aoki, but she has refrained from telling Aoki as much, likely out of respect for him and for his family.
Aoki Seiichirō:
A mild-mannered copy editor with a wife and child, who is also a wind magician. In the TV series, upon discovering that the battle between the Seals and Angels is at hand, he secretly divorces his wife Shimako in order to spare her grief should he be killed. He impresses Karen, who eventually dies saving him in the anime. Aoki is a very gentle and even-tempered man and is only seen to become angry once in X, when Karen attempts to sacrifice herself for his sake. Although Aoki is very powerful, he rarely sees any action in battle for much of the first half of the story as he is quite busy editing manuscripts. He is a wind master, with the ability to conjure and control wind currents. This is his family's gift; his nephew Daisuke Saiki has the same ability, though he isn't as strong.
Monō Fūma:
Fūma is initially a kind and gentle person who helps his father dutifully and dotes upon his younger sister Kotori. After Nataku attacks Kyōgo and steals the first Shinken, Fūma's dying father tells him that he is Kamui's twin star. Accordingly, when Kamui chooses the Dragons of Heaven, Fūma is forced to become a Dragon of Earth, immediately attacking Kamui and killing Kotori. He proceeds to grant wishes to the characters with whom he interacts, in ways that oftentimes lead to their death or that of a loved one. Unlike in the movie, where Fūma is portrayed as sadistic, the manga portrays him in a less fiendish light.
Interestingly, it seems that Fūma (as the Kamui of the Dragons of Earth) can view, or in some other way sense, the true, heart-felt wishes of others-and even more strangely, it seems as though he is (at the very least) strongly compelled to grant the wishes of others, if not outright-forced to. Due to his perverse fixation with making his twin star suffer, and Kamui's acceptance of the treatment, it would suggest that Kamui wishes (or believes he deserves) to be tortured by Fūma. It should also be noted that Fūma does not always work in purely destructive ways; for instance, in volume fourteen of the manga, Fūma spares the life of a young girl and her mother before blasting Ebisu Garden Place to bits. His explanation for this seems to be that the young girl still truly wished to live.
As if to add to the complexity that is Fūma's character, even before his awakening, Fūma reminds whoever is looking at him of the person they care most about (to Nataku, Fūma looks like Tōjyō Masaki, the father of the girl Nataku was cloned from; to Subaru, he looks like Seishirō; to Yuzuriha, he looks like Kusanagi; to Karen, he looks like Seiichirō).
By some unlucky quiciodence, he and Alex Michal are doubles, in face anyway. Fuma is not so built as Alex is and Alex isn't as towering as Fuma is.
Kigai Yuuto:
A water master, Yūto is a polite but largely amoral bureaucrat in a sexual relationship with Kanoe. He sees Satsuki (gets killed early in Legend and is unimportant) as a sort of protégée and attempts to educate her about emotions.
Shiyū Kusanagi
A member of the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) who is telepathically linked to the plants and animals of the Earth, and thus strongly resents humanity's pollution and destruction of the natural world. Although his punch carries the force of an earthquake, he is the least antisocial of the Dragons of Earth, and the least active in the destruction of Tokyo. He meets Yuzuriha (and is the first man she ever met who can see Inuki) and develops an affection for her; although she falls in love with him, his intentions remain platonic as she is still a child. He frequently rescues Yuzuriha from death at the hands of other Dragons of Earth, and indeed in the anime threatens Fūma and ultimately switches sides; as a result he is attacked and grievously wounded by Nataku and Arashi, the latter having also defected to the other side.
Sakurazuka Seishirō:
Originally from Tōkyō Babylon, in which he appeared to be a kindly, magically-aware veterinarian, Seishirō is in fact the Sakurazukamori, a lone assassin whose signature is cherry blossoms and the symbol of an inverted pentagram. The Sakurazukamori is supposedly unable to love, but in Seishirou's side story, his mother (with whom it is implied he was romantically involved) contradicts this, saying that Seishirou will be killed by the one he loves the most. Seishirō himself became the Sakurazukamori at the age of fifteen by killing her, after a lifetime of training. A powerful onmyōji, Seishirō can attack in many ways, including shikigami (spell servants), energy blasts and more direct physical combat. He can also create elaborate illusions in which people are trapped (separate from the physical world), and in which the dangers are all too real; these are heralded by sudden, uncanny showers of cherry petals. Seishirō is a bon vivant, enjoying what he regards as Tokyo's decadence and moral corruption. In the manga, he and Fūma seem to get along well - in X14, they invited one another to eat at all the best restaurants in any area they are about to destroy.
In Tokyo Babylon Seishirō claimed to be in love with the young onmyōji Sumerag Subaru, and on many occasions protected him from harm, even losing his right eye to a knife-wielding attacker. However, he ultimately revealed his true self, a ruthless, cold-hearted assassin who could never feel any emotion for anyone, and would have killed Subaru had the latter's twin sister Hokuto not intervened at the cost of her own life. Seishirō defeats Subaru in battle when they meet for the very first time since the events in Tokyo Babylon nine years ago, but leaves the younger man alive.
Nataku:
An androgynous clone of extreme psychic ability, born of genetic material of Tōjyō Kazuki, the deceased granddaughter of the president of Tōjyō Pharmaceuticals and her father Masaki. It is sent to retrieve the Shinken by the Chairman Tōjyō who wishes to destroy the sword so that Nataku cannot become entangled in the matter of the Promised Day. In the process of stealing the Shinken, Nataku mortally wounds Kyōgo, Fūma and Kotori's father, who was attempting to protect the Shinken. Nataku later battles both Karen and Aoki, the former refusing to believe it can possibly be unemotional and regarding it as a "lost child". Nataku is haunted by the memories of its previous life as Kazuki, and follows Fūma unquestionably as Fūma resembles the person Kazuki cared most for-her father.
Kuzuki Kakyō:
A dreamseer in a permanent coma, appearing as a tall man with a sad expression, golden eyes, long, pale hair, and almost always dressed in white; Kakyo's only wish was to die. Kakyō fell in love with Hokuto after meeting her in the dreamscape before his coma; it seems that up til then he has been kept under close security by important political personnels. However, he realized that she would be killed, and regardless of his efforts to stop her from dying, she was still murdered by the Sakurazukamori. Both in the manga and TV series it seems that Kakyo's present coma status was a direct result due to him attempting to save Hokuto from the future he foresaw; he was shot by men guarding him when attempting to run (manga) and suffered from a fall (?) while escaping (TV). After meeting and befriending Kotori within the dreamscape, he realizes that she, too, will soon die at the hands of her older brother. To grant Kotori's last wish that Kamui should be spared, Kakyō possesses Kotori's body and clings to the Shinken, preventing Fūma from removing it from Kotori's body and using it to kill Kamui. However, in doing so, Kakyō alerted Fūma to his presence. Fūma hunts down Kakyō and convinces him that only he can grant Kakyō's true wish-to finally be allowed to die in peace; thus Kakyo's reason for joining the Dragons of Earth was that Fuma promised to eventually kill him.
Hellsing Cast:
Victoria Seras:
A policewoman who, along with the rest of her squad, was sent into Cheddar Village, where a vampire dressed as a priest had taken control of the town and turned its inhabitants into ghouls (zombies). Taken hostage by that vampire, who used her as a human shield, she was given a choice by Alucard: she could either die together with the vampire, or be turned into a vampire herself, and live. She chose to live, and so Alucard turned her into a vampire, her virgin blood allowing her to successfully make the transition from human to vampire (non-virgin vampire victims become ghouls). She was employed by the Hellsing Organization immediately afterwards. She is still the kind and doubting woman that she's always been, but is now forced to deal with her new condition and aggressive urges (which appear to be inherent in her human side as well). Seras is an unsophisticated and simplistic tomboy; a very brave, strong willed and heroic girl that can sometimes be too stubborn and disobedient for her own good. She is, however, a very loyal and trustworthy soldier who will diligently follow the orders of her commander, provided said commander has proven his/her worth to Seras.
Will:
Original name Warrant Officer Schrödinger, part of the Nazi Millennium organization. A cloning-created werewolf (I made him a werewolf, in the manga he’s a werecat) of obscure origins (parent wise). He is taken from his role as mascot and lands in a forest in the Dark Side where Seishiro hunts him. Has a regenerating ability and the ability to run really fast (well he did move from England to south America in….a very short time, in the manga). Is the physical copy of Kamui accept of his werewolf features and his blond hair.
Rescue Team members:
Lestate de Lioncourt:
From Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles.
A vampire. Was a bit of a brat and a hedonist in his original world, didn’t do much besides saving his species once and writing his story and the story of his various lovers/friends and publishing it to get attention. Formed the Rescue Team with Charlie. Once a proud, arrogant Brat Prince, in the Lost Dimension Lestate became a loyal savior of the City’s citizens. Regards himself (and actually is) as one of Alex’s best friends and last forts of trust and love for Death. Uses his enhanced vampire vision, hearing and stamina to fight the City’s menaces along with his Fire Gift (the ability to blow things up and/or set them afire).
Arnold (Ace) Judas Rimmer:
From Red Dwarf.
He was the second lowest rank on the ship, a Second Technician on the space ship Red Dwarf which suffered an atomic leak and killed everyone (including Rimmer who, apparently, was the cause for it). He was resurrected as a hologram by Red Dwarf’s computer to keep the only surviving human, David Lister, company.
was a snotty, tight-a**, I-want-to-be-an-officer-I-deserve-it, backbone-less idiot before another dimension’s Rimmer who acts as an inter-dimensional superhero (the original Ace Rimmer) died and crowned him the next Ace Rimmer (Ace Rimmers are actually Rimmers from different dimensions who are, each in turn, talked into it becoming inter-dimensional heroes). He was taken into the Lost Dimension before he had the chance to do anything Ace Rimmer-y.
Was the third Rescue Team member and an outstanding hero. Had a long unrequited love for Alex which he blew by confessing it to Death. Uses his Hard Light hologram body, which cannot be harmed or killed, in order to survive attacks while he uses fists and guns (when available) to fight.
Tara Maclay:
From: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A Wicca wielding human witch. In her original dimension helped a vampire slayer (along with the rest of the slayers’ lackeys….err…friends) slay vampires and other villains and had an affair with the slayer’s number 2 lackey, Willow. Was taken into the Lost Dimension right before her death and became the fifth member in the Rescue Team. Acts as a sister figure to Ace, Lestate, Charlie and anyone who wishes it. Acts as a source of light in the dimension’s moonless or cloudy nights and is a reserve member in the Team. Uses magic to fight, when her fighting is needed.
Vash the Stampede:
Fandom: Trigun.
A crybaby and a pacifist, and occasionally an apparent buffoon. He is in fact extremely intelligent, has god-like reflexes, perfect muscle control, blurring speed over short distances, and is an unrivalled gunman who seeks to preserve life wherever possible. It is possible he exaggerates his foolish characteristics to make people feel unthreatened and to hide his identity. In fact Vash shows focus and complete control when the chips are down and when attacking. It is likely Vash is actually scared in most of his fights, because he usually has no intent of shooting back, and only evades the opponent's attacks. He also has an almost obsessive love of doughnuts.
Due to the fact that Vash’s vague reference as the same creature as ‘plants’ - creatures of energy which’s sole purpose is to generate energy to humans - to my idea of ‘biengs’ I made Vash a bieng as well in A New World.
X/1999 cast:
Shirō Kamui:
A brooding young man, who possesses immense spiritual and psychic power which, according to the anime TV series, manifested at an early age. It is his destiny to decide whether the world should be destroyed so it may be reborn without humanity or save the world so humanity can continue to live in its current state.

Kamui and Kotori showed affection for each other at a very early age, which culminated in Kamui asking Kotori whether he could become her "bride".

Kamui's ultimate goal is to retrieve the Shinken from the Togakushi Jinja and then to leave Tōkyō again as quickly as possible. Kamui initially comes into contact with Daisuke, Arashi, and Hinoto in quite abrasive manners, resulting in several pitched battles. After Sorata's and Yuzuriha's respective arrivals, though, Kamui's violent behavior is tempered somewhat by their friendly demeanors.
Kamui ultimately chooses his destiny as one of the Ten no Ryū, forcing Fūma to join with the Chi no Ryū.

After Subaru retrieved Kamui's consciousness from the depths of his soul, the two mutually identified with one another, having lived through heartbreakingly similar circumstances of the death of loved ones at the hands of a close friend or lover.
Arisugawa Sorata:
An upbeat, irreverent teenager possessing considerable occult abilities, raised by the Shingon Buddhist monks of Kōyasan after being taken away from his mother at a young age. A gourmand, he was frequently in trouble at the shrine for stealing food between meals (insisting that he couldn't wait until dinner), and is also a competent cook. It was prophesied that he would protect Kamui with his life, but that he would die for a woman. In the anime, the prophecy is realized as he dies defending Arashi from Fūma's Shinken, despite her earlier attempts to kill Kamui. He has yet to die in the manga, but is currently in the act of confronting Hinoto after discovering she has kidnapped Arashi and was setting up each of the Dragons of Heaven in order to kill them.
Kishū Arashi:
A foundling girl raised by Shintō priests at Ise Jingū, and the Dragon of Heaven most immediately in touch with Princess Hinoto. Called the "Hidden Priestess of Ise", her specialty is swordfighting, a massive sword emerging from her left hand. Despite her cold, stoic front, Sorata falls in love with her, and ultimately she comes to reciprocate.

Nekoi Yuzuriha:
A fourteen-year-old schoolgirl descended from the keepers of Mitsumine Jinja, attended by a dog-spirit named Inuki who can transform into anything Yuzuriha desires and which only others with occult powers can see. Inuki is later killed by Satsuki, but reborn. Yuzuriha is exceedingly genki (energetic), often diffusing latent tension between Kamui and the rest of the Ten no Ryū. Yuzuriha's uncanny ability to allay Kamui's suspicions and earn his trust seems slightly tongue-in-cheek in that Yuzuriha essentially has dealt with wolf-like inugami her entire life, and Kamui's demeanor towards the rest of the Dragons of Heaven prior to Yuzuriha's appearance was rather wolfish-a play on Kamui's familial name.

Because of this, Yuzuriha makes a promise to herself and to Inuki that she will never fall in love with (or even date) a man who cannot see Inuki. Incidentally, the first person outside of her family who can see Inuki that Yuzuriha meets is Shiyū Kusanagi-a Dragon of Earth. Yuzuriha falls in love with Kusanagi, regardless of their conflicting fates.
Sumeragi Subaru:
A character imported from the earlier CLAMP series Tōkyō Babylon, Subaru is the 13th Head of the Sumeragi Ichimon, a clan of onmyōji. Once a cheerful yet bashful teenager, at the end of the earlier series the man he loved, Sakurazuka Seishirō, emerged as a ruthless and unfeeling magical assassin and killed his twin sister Hokuto; he has thus grown into a sad, reticent young man, obsessed with settling the score with his former lover.

She comes to admire Aoki, and in the anime series, she loses her life saving him from Yūto. In the manga, Karen has yet to die and was last seen backing up Kamui along with Seiichirō and Yuzuriha during the beginning of the Final Battle. It is suggested (especially in later volumes of the manga) that Karen feels a strong affection-and probably a romantic attraction-for Aoki, but she has refrained from telling Aoki as much, likely out of respect for him and for his family.
Aoki Seiichirō:
A mild-mannered copy editor with a wife and child, who is also a wind magician. In the TV series, upon discovering that the battle between the Seals and Angels is at hand, he secretly divorces his wife Shimako in order to spare her grief should he be killed. He impresses Karen, who eventually dies saving him in the anime.

He is a wind master, with the ability to conjure and control wind currents. This is his family's gift; his nephew Daisuke Saiki has the same ability, though he isn't as strong.
Monō Fūma:
Fūma is initially a kind and gentle person who helps his father dutifully and dotes upon his younger sister Kotori. After Nataku attacks Kyōgo and steals the first Shinken, Fūma's dying father tells him that he is Kamui's twin star. Accordingly, when Kamui chooses the Dragons of Heaven, Fūma is forced to become a Dragon of Earth, immediately attacking Kamui and killing Kotori.

By some unlucky quiciodence, he and Alex Michal are doubles, in face anyway. Fuma is not so built as Alex is and Alex isn't as towering as Fuma is.
Kigai Yuuto:
A water master, Yūto is a polite but largely amoral bureaucrat in a sexual relationship with Kanoe. He sees Satsuki (gets killed early in Legend and is unimportant) as a sort of protégée and attempts to educate her about emotions.
Shiyū Kusanagi
A member of the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) who is telepathically linked to the plants and animals of the Earth, and thus strongly resents humanity's pollution and destruction of the natural world. Although his punch carries the force of an earthquake, he is the least antisocial of the Dragons of Earth, and the least active in the destruction of Tokyo. He meets Yuzuriha (and is the first man she ever met who can see Inuki) and develops an affection for her; although she falls in love with him, his intentions remain platonic as she is still a child. He frequently rescues Yuzuriha from death at the hands of other Dragons of Earth, and indeed in the anime threatens Fūma and ultimately switches sides; as a result he is attacked and grievously wounded by Nataku and Arashi, the latter having also defected to the other side.
Sakurazuka Seishirō:
Originally from Tōkyō Babylon, in which he appeared to be a kindly, magically-aware veterinarian, Seishirō is in fact the Sakurazukamori, a lone assassin whose signature is cherry blossoms and the symbol of an inverted pentagram. The Sakurazukamori is supposedly unable to love, but in Seishirou's side story, his mother (with whom it is implied he was romantically involved) contradicts this, saying that Seishirou will be killed by the one he loves the most. Seishirō himself became the Sakurazukamori at the age of fifteen by killing her, after a lifetime of training. A powerful onmyōji, Seishirō can attack in many ways, including shikigami (spell servants), energy blasts and more direct physical combat.

In the manga, he and Fūma seem to get along well - in X14, they invited one another to eat at all the best restaurants in any area they are about to destroy.
In Tokyo Babylon Seishirō claimed to be in love with the young onmyōji Sumerag Subaru, and on many occasions protected him from harm, even losing his right eye to a knife-wielding attacker. However, he ultimately revealed his true self, a ruthless, cold-hearted assassin who could never feel any emotion for anyone, and would have killed Subaru had the latter's twin sister Hokuto not intervened at the cost of her own life. Seishirō defeats Subaru in battle when they meet for the very first time since the events in Tokyo Babylon nine years ago, but leaves the younger man alive.
Nataku:
An androgynous clone of extreme psychic ability, born of genetic material of Tōjyō Kazuki, the deceased granddaughter of the president of Tōjyō Pharmaceuticals and her father Masaki. It is sent to retrieve the Shinken by the Chairman Tōjyō who wishes to destroy the sword so that Nataku cannot become entangled in the matter of the Promised Day. In the process of stealing the Shinken, Nataku mortally wounds Kyōgo, Fūma and Kotori's father, who was attempting to protect the Shinken. Nataku later battles both Karen and Aoki, the former refusing to believe it can possibly be unemotional and regarding it as a "lost child". Nataku is haunted by the memories of its previous life as Kazuki, and follows Fūma unquestionably as Fūma resembles the person Kazuki cared most for-her father.
Kuzuki Kakyō:
A dreamseer in a permanent coma, appearing as a tall man with a sad expression, golden eyes, long, pale hair, and almost always dressed in white; Kakyo's only wish was to die. Kakyō fell in love with Hokuto after meeting her in the dreamscape before his coma; it seems that up til then he has been kept under close security by important political personnels. However, he realized that she would be killed, and regardless of his efforts to stop her from dying, she was still murdered by the Sakurazukamori. Both in the manga and TV series it seems that Kakyo's present coma status was a direct result due to him attempting to save Hokuto from the future he foresaw; he was shot by men guarding him when attempting to run (manga) and suffered from a fall (?) while escaping (TV). After meeting and befriending Kotori within the dreamscape, he realizes that she, too, will soon die at the hands of her older brother. To grant Kotori's last wish that Kamui should be spared, Kakyō possesses Kotori's body and clings to the Shinken, preventing Fūma from removing it from Kotori's body and using it to kill Kamui. However, in doing so, Kakyō alerted Fūma to his presence. Fūma hunts down Kakyō and convinces him that only he can grant Kakyō's true wish-to finally be allowed to die in peace; thus Kakyo's reason for joining the Dragons of Earth was that Fuma promised to eventually kill him.
Hellsing Cast:
Victoria Seras:
A policewoman who, along with the rest of her squad, was sent into Cheddar Village, where a vampire dressed as a priest had taken control of the town and turned its inhabitants into ghouls (zombies). Taken hostage by that vampire, who used her as a human shield, she was given a choice by Alucard: she could either die together with the vampire, or be turned into a vampire herself, and live. She chose to live, and so Alucard turned her into a vampire, her virgin blood allowing her to successfully make the transition from human to vampire (non-virgin vampire victims become ghouls). She was employed by the Hellsing Organization immediately afterwards. She is still the kind and doubting woman that she's always been, but is now forced to deal with her new condition and aggressive urges (which appear to be inherent in her human side as well). Seras is an unsophisticated and simplistic tomboy; a very brave, strong willed and heroic girl that can sometimes be too stubborn and disobedient for her own good. She is, however, a very loyal and trustworthy soldier who will diligently follow the orders of her commander, provided said commander has proven his/her worth to Seras.
Will:
Original name Warrant Officer Schrödinger, part of the Nazi Millennium organization. A cloning-created werewolf (I made him a werewolf, in the manga he’s a werecat) of obscure origins (parent wise). He is taken from his role as mascot and lands in a forest in the Dark Side where Seishiro hunts him. Has a regenerating ability and the ability to run really fast (well he did move from England to south America in….a very short time, in the manga). Is the physical copy of Kamui accept of his werewolf features and his blond hair.
Rescue Team members:
Lestate de Lioncourt:
From Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles.
A vampire. Was a bit of a brat and a hedonist in his original world, didn’t do much besides saving his species once and writing his story and the story of his various lovers/friends and publishing it to get attention. Formed the Rescue Team with Charlie. Once a proud, arrogant Brat Prince, in the Lost Dimension Lestate became a loyal savior of the City’s citizens. Regards himself (and actually is) as one of Alex’s best friends and last forts of trust and love for Death. Uses his enhanced vampire vision, hearing and stamina to fight the City’s menaces along with his Fire Gift (the ability to blow things up and/or set them afire).
Arnold (Ace) Judas Rimmer:
From Red Dwarf.
He was the second lowest rank on the ship, a Second Technician on the space ship Red Dwarf which suffered an atomic leak and killed everyone (including Rimmer who, apparently, was the cause for it). He was resurrected as a hologram by Red Dwarf’s computer to keep the only surviving human, David Lister, company.
was a snotty, tight-a**, I-want-to-be-an-officer-I-deserve-it, backbone-less idiot before another dimension’s Rimmer who acts as an inter-dimensional superhero (the original Ace Rimmer) died and crowned him the next Ace Rimmer (Ace Rimmers are actually Rimmers from different dimensions who are, each in turn, talked into it becoming inter-dimensional heroes). He was taken into the Lost Dimension before he had the chance to do anything Ace Rimmer-y.
Was the third Rescue Team member and an outstanding hero. Had a long unrequited love for Alex which he blew by confessing it to Death. Uses his Hard Light hologram body, which cannot be harmed or killed, in order to survive attacks while he uses fists and guns (when available) to fight.
Tara Maclay:
From: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A Wicca wielding human witch. In her original dimension helped a vampire slayer (along with the rest of the slayers’ lackeys….err…friends) slay vampires and other villains and had an affair with the slayer’s number 2 lackey, Willow. Was taken into the Lost Dimension right before her death and became the fifth member in the Rescue Team. Acts as a sister figure to Ace, Lestate, Charlie and anyone who wishes it. Acts as a source of light in the dimension’s moonless or cloudy nights and is a reserve member in the Team. Uses magic to fight, when her fighting is needed.
Vash the Stampede:
Fandom: Trigun.
A crybaby and a pacifist, and occasionally an apparent buffoon. He is in fact extremely intelligent, has god-like reflexes, perfect muscle control, blurring speed over short distances, and is an unrivalled gunman who seeks to preserve life wherever possible. It is possible he exaggerates his foolish characteristics to make people feel unthreatened and to hide his identity. In fact Vash shows focus and complete control when the chips are down and when attacking. It is likely Vash is actually scared in most of his fights, because he usually has no intent of shooting back, and only evades the opponent's attacks. He also has an almost obsessive love of doughnuts.
Due to the fact that Vash’s vague reference as the same creature as ‘plants’ - creatures of energy which’s sole purpose is to generate energy to humans - to my idea of ‘biengs’ I made Vash a bieng as well in A New World.
