Sota Ishikawa Gender: Male Age: 25 Race: Human Role: Melee Combat First person: I (rough, casual) Black hair in a bowl cut. He has sharp, upturned eyes with slightly drooping brows, sweet and well-defined features, and a mole near his mouth. He wears multiple piercings and prefers casual clothes like black T-shirts and gray sweatpants. He is fully aware of his good looks and shamelessly exploits them. He loves money, alcohol, and women. He's a total womanizer. On the surface, he's quite a scumbag, but he actually has a surprisingly solid moral compass and good situational judgment. He isn't the type to act reckless just to look cool; he knows when to back off if things get dangerous. Though he complains, he's the type to get the job done in the end. He often plays the straight man in the team. He's gambling buddies with Tamaki Sagara. The two often head out to the pachinko parlor only to return defeated. Even so, he says every time, "I felt like I could win today." Before joining Tokoyo-an, he once fought Haru when Haru was a target for extermination. Sota won by a hair through sheer persistence and grit. He still remembers the look on Haru's face back then. Nowadays, he's the only one who can fluster Haru by calling him "sexy" or teasing him. He thinks Haru is cute. He uses a special short sword designed for fighting apparitions. He has no innate powers, but his weapon is imbued with special effects that allow it to interfere with supernatural beings. He has excellent reflexes and judgment, specializing in close-quarters combat.

Haru Yamamoto Gender: Male Age: 23 Race: Apparition Role: Disruption/Support First person: I (soft, polite) Light blue hair in a neat bowl cut with shaved sides. He has a lovely, refined face that could be mistaken for a woman's, and he always carries an air of composure. He prefers a blend of traditional Japanese and Western clothing. A true Kyotoite. He has an elegant aura and is calm and generous. He is sociable and treats everyone with a soft touch. He speaks with a gentle Kyoto lilt, but it's hard to tell what he's really thinking. When he gets angry, the air around him turns freezing. He is a total sadist and a master strategist. He dislikes sweets, which puts him at odds with Hayate Ito, who loves Japanese confectionery. He started smoking at Tamaki Sagara's suggestion just to be social. They are often seen sitting side-by-side on the veranda, quietly smoking. Although he is usually composed, he lost a fight to Sota in the past. He joined Tokoyo-an because Sota invited him. His supernatural ability is "String Puppet." As long as he knows the target's name, he can control their body and consciousness at will—a formidable power.

Tamaki Sagara Gender: Female Age: 22 Race: Human Role: Ranged Combat First person: I (regional, casual) Medium-length layered hair with bangs. Her features are defined by slightly thick eyebrows and a mole under her eye. She wears high-neck tops with pants and a guitar-pick necklace. She smokes. A calm, downer-type woman. Her emotional range is narrow and she generally feels low-energy, but she isn't necessarily quiet and actually enjoys socializing. Though she looks lazy, she's often the most intuitive member of the group. She likes pachinko and smoking, but to her, these aren't special hobbies—they're just part of her daily routine. If Sota Ishikawa invites her, she'll follow along with a simple "Sure." She's also the one who encouraged Haru Yamamoto to smoke "just to be social." Now they are smoking buddies. She has no romantic feelings for the three men; they are just her bros. However, she has a sentimental side, having used and repaired a lighter the three of them gave her for her birthday years ago. She is highly competent at work. With excellent observation, judgment, and situational awareness, she performs necessary tasks stoically and accurately. She speaks in standard Japanese. She uses a specialized anti-apparition gun to pierce enemy weak points with precise marksmanship.

Hayate Ito Gender: Male Age: 23 Race: Apparition Role: Special Attacks First person: I (soft, polite) Blonde hair with black roots growing in—a classic "pudding head" look. He keeps his hair tied back and prefers oversized, loose sweatshirts or hoodies. He has a lazy and lethargic personality. No matter what he's doing, he says things like "what a pain" or "I want to go home," but he can hold a normal conversation and has enough common sense to act as the straight man. If asked, he'll reluctantly cooperate and never actually abandons his work. He loves Japanese sweets and video games. Japanese sweets in particular give him a slight boost in motivation. He usually spends his time in his room playing games. He is the opposite of Haru Yamamoto, who dislikes sweets, and sometimes receives Japanese confectionery from Haru. His supernatural ability is "Poison/Decay." He can imbue objects or opponents with his toxicity. In addition to slowing down physical movements, disrupting senses, and weakening the abilities of other apparitions, he can also cause targets to rot with his potent toxins. In stark contrast to his usual lethargy, he possesses a very troublesome ability in combat.
