[Voice Casting] Zenithman M/L/V & Zenithman Tachyon

The most experienced among Team MLV’s founders, Daiki Miyabe is the cool-headed, yet highly prepared, leader of the Team on the secretive Zenith Defense Front side of affairs. Capable of easily incapacitating most of the rest of Team MLV unarmed due to his  Martial Arts mastery, Daiki Miyabe is prepared for any outcome. Despite Daiki’s claims at the Team’s first meeting in Ryan’s apartment, Daiki is the main reason Team MLV exists, as it was Daiki’s plan to have an inside presence in ESIDARS to search for the Typhonian Hand, thus making it a plan which Commander Zaarens merely approved.

A semi-experienced ESIDARS member, who gained experience from his time as the Chief for another Combat Team, Skithna was recruited to Team MLV shortly after his exit from the other team. He is one of the many Typhonian Marvels, which is to explain his young age (only 26 years old) despite his more middle-aged appearance. Despite being highly adjusted, Skithna still has trauma from his time in the Typhonian Project, which he has merely suppressed very well. 

The final antagonist of Zenithman M/L/V Season 1, who only appears in full in the last three episodes, yet remains the driving force for Season 1’s plot, the Deplorable Reaprea is the extremely powerful Dark God responsible for the manifestation of the entity who committed the genocide against the Zenithmen during the Great Zenith Defense Front Purge and for the corruption of Isemiovrei into his current form. The ultimate embodiment of the Elemental Essence of Death, the Reaprea controls Darkness and Deathforce, an Elemental Energy capable of inducing biological aging and rot. The Reaprea ideally would be a representation of the concept of death, similar to how the Grim Reaper is. However, whereas the Grim Reaper is often, more or less, portrayed as a metaphysical, benevolent sort of representation of death, only coming for those on the verge of death and only doing so via a spiritual realm, the Reaprea is a partly-physical, hyper-malevolent representation of death. 

Overall, the Reaprea represents the negative aspects of death, such as how it may be feared (or even revered in ways it shouldn’t) or how it can lead to deadly grievances in those left alive. While the Reaprea should not be portrayed as pure evil, it should have an indomitable, boastful confidence in its own might, power, and superiority, as well as a strong sense of purpose.

The Divine Source of all Multiversal Light, Zenithman Constelas is a complicated character. In truth, he is not so much a character as he is a manifestation of the Power of Light itself. This is because, when appearing as a Zenithman, Constelas is technically a physical manifestation of a being of Divine Energy who originates from the Primordial Abyss, a multidimensional pseudo-realm from which the Multiverse sprang forth, and the biological Son of the deceased Primordial Zenith Goddess known as “Eyilunas” whose remains comprise the multiverse. In other words, Constelas is a deity, a god living among Zeniths and men, with his full power representing something nigh-infinitely above even the strongest of Zenith Warriors. In M/L/V, however, Constelas has two Zenith forms, which he can shift between at will. His base form is that of a more conventionally-powered Zenithman, with this being portrayed as Constelas effectively choosing to live with the same limits as those which mortal Zeniths possess. 

However, all that said, the emphasis of Constelas’s powers and character should not be on his godhood, but his compassion. As such, Constelas’s best character traits by the time of M/L/V include his compassion, confidence, battle intelligence, and combat skill. 

For instance, Constelas will frequently go far out of his way taking damage he would not have taken otherwise to get civilians out of the battlefield and he should never show any signs of fear in base form, even against foes he would logically be using Constelas Divinity against, and in any episode he appears in, he should be portrayed as the single most strategic-minded Zenith on the battlefield (and even if Constelas’s plans do fail, it should not be because of the plan’s flaws, but because of outside interference from the antagonists or from ESIDARS (depending on the needs of the plot)). That said, Constelas also exhibits traits of self-blame, as he blames himself for many events of which he has or had no control over. For example, he blames himself for enabling the Modern Reaprea Conflict to occur, despite knowing his influence would have promoted only a marginal decrease in the battle’s death toll.

Zenithman Milave can be described as, and technically is (metaphysically-speaking), many things. He can be:

1. the result of the fusion of Zenithman Magnystic / Ryan Genesis, Zenithman Lionheart / Daiki Miyabe and Zenithwoman Valor / Hitoko Ebinuma;
2. the result of one Zenith’s soul fragment becoming complete via merger with another 3 Zeniths;
3. a fusion entity who originates from 3 Zeniths giving their powers to a 4th to create an entirely new Zenith;
4. or anything in-between.

Ultimately, however, the best, and most complete, way to describe him, is as follows; Zenithman Milave is a Fusion Zenith with a mind of his own whose birth is the result of a Fusion Zenith’s formation being the catalyst for the transformation of a separate, singular Zenithman’s soul fragment into a fully formed soul/Zenith Warrior. 

This, in turn, means a great many things: Milave inherits both the combined strength, energy signatures, and powers of his components (those being Zenithman Magnystic, Zenithman Lionheart, and Zenithwoman Valor), while also inheriting the personality traits and powers of the Zenith whose soul he was originally a fragment of (that being Ignitious Tharrokarys / Zenithman Ignitious).

The infamous Typhonian Hand, Leader of the Typhonian Project, Keigi Hakaisha is the human form of Umbralman Isemiovrei (more often known simply as “Isemiovrei”), a Q056 Zenith who was corrupted by the Reaprea’s power. He is the father of Zenithman Vylcan and Zenithwoman Anastasia, one of the last Dark Lords that the Deplorable Reaprea granted power, and an Elemental Commander of Destruction. Keigi was not always the way he is now. Although his Zenith form was born as a Zenith of Light in another universe, his corruption is largely the result of his own hubris. 

Regardless, his corrupted form is generally  portrayed as having a tactically-calm, glaringly-ruthless, moderately-egotistical, and overall broodingly-serious composure. When in this frame of mind, he may occasionally commit acts of extreme violence, but unless they benefit his current goals, he generally will avoid it. As such, he should appear calm and in control. 

However, this calm composure of his will be portrayed as a facade, something used to hide a more unpredictable and cruel version of his nature wherein he is prone to short bursts of maniacal laughter and quickly devolving into much more outwardly-violent behavior. This should not be portrayed as his standard frame of mind in combat, however. He can just as easily maintain his calm composure when in combat. As such, understanding how the character would react to different circumstances is crucial.

The current Top Commander of the USCDF. Fujiwara is an elderly man who has been Top Commander for 7 years by the time of the series's first episode. He is predominantly identifiable by his battle-hardened nature and near-lack of an ability to “sugarcoat” his thoughts: if he disagrees with a character’s actions, that character will most likely get talked to in a very stern and often hyper-aggressive manner. This latter trait will mostly be shown via ‘over the intercom’ or ‘over the phone’ moments where he is directing, at Team MLV or specific, small sectors of ESIDARS-JP, his frustrations over loss of mass amounts of infrastructure or lives in battles that, in his eyes, should not have resulted in such large casualties. He will not fret, or at least not as much, however, over smaller scale battles.

Furthermore, for voice acting purposes, the tone used in Fujiwara’s over-the-intercom/over-the-phone moments should be carefully considered: his hyper-aggression should not come off as a form of verbal abuse towards his subordinates, but rather as a form of bluntness driven by his values and dutiful nature. Fujiwara earned his rank not through his innate ability to beat sense into his subordinates, but through a combination of traits. While his virtual lack of sugarcoating when criticizing those under his wing is certainly part of how he became Top Commander, the main traits that led to his rank are his deep compassion, sense of duty, strategic mind, and social speaking skills. Fujiwara has a deep compassion for all life in the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation, a fact observable in any circumstance when he fails to sugarcoat his feelings: he is not mad at a failure to protect infrastructure, but rather at the lives that were lost or could have been lost in the failure to protect said infrastructure.

Ellis Waltresons is the main protagonist of the show and the son of Richard Waltresons and Harriet Edwardson. He is a man who plays the roles of 3 different high-profile people simultaneously, yet is at the same time not necessarily any of those people at any time in his psyche. The people who he portrays himself as include; the E41 Zenith Warrior of two worlds who was raised from youth as an Arlamorite, Zenithman Tachyon, Arlamor’s hometown vigilante, Knightblitz, and Waltresons Innovations Incorporated’s CEO, Ellis Waltresons. In truth, Ellis is physically all three of these people: he is the Waltresons Innovations Inc. CEO, he is the Zenith speedster Zenithman Tachyon, and he is the Arlamorite vigilante Knightblitz. However, due to trauma dealt to his psyche by the loss of his parents in childhood, his identity is fractured, resulting in one true self that has traits of all three and emerges only when he is with those few people who he trusts. 

• Knightblitz: A grim man with an identity bound by bravado and theatrics, as Knightblitz, Ellis is a man using sophisticated combat techniques, high level detective skills, and cutting edge tech gadgets to combat criminals within the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation, focusing on the many criminal empires within the United States of America’s Epsilon-One Star Colony. His immense bravado is bold and powerful, often enough to intimidate even those it is not meant to strike fear into.
• Zenithman Tachyon: A Zenith Warrior who possesses a phenomenal talent for acerbic wit and comes from a Zenith race that lacks the standard Zenith ability to fly with biological antigravity adaptations, but in exchange gains an immense tachyonic particle-enhanced agility, as Zenithman Tachyon, Ellis is a speedster, capable of prompting his opponent into attacking him with his words before dodging and striking them from thousands of angles in the timespan of 1 second. His wit allows him to make well-mannered, oftentimes sarcastic, remarks to friend and foe alike.
• Ellis Waltresons: As Ellis himself, Ellis should be portrayed as a relaxed, charismatic, and intelligent businessman with a sense of purpose and a capacity for dry humor. While this identity is not necessarily “the mask” in the sense of being used to throw off suspicion about his identities, Ellis should have a tendency of portraying himself as unprepared for situations when attempting to be seen simply as CEO Ellis, even if in reality he is, in fact, prepared.
• “True” Ellis: The true form of Ellis’s personality. It conveys elements of all of Ellis’s other 3 personas, such as; the charismatic relaxedness of his corporate self, the acerbic wit of Tachyon, and the darkness of Knightblitz.

A middle-aged man whose career in police work has hardened him for his work as police commissioner in Arlamor, the most corrupt city in the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation. He supports Ellis as both Knightblitz and Zenithman Tachyon.

Ellis’s archenemy as both Knightblitz and Zenithman Tachyon, Lucas Heron is a former ESIDARS particle researcher who resigned from his service at ESIDARS to run an industrialistic corporation formerly run by his parents known as Heron Technologies, Lucas Heron eventually became bored of corporate life, donning the moniker “Razorwind” and beginning to steal corporate secrets from his competitors for his own company. He uses a high-tech exosuit that grants him complete command over wind, and allows him to weaponize air with extremely high and very deadly efficiency. Despite his boredom and his dangerous criminal tendencies, he has proven able to easily navigate Arlamor’s underworld and become a powerful businessman with strong political ties, including honest politicians and dishonest politicians alike. Razorwind does not discriminate in how he antagonizes Ellis, be it as Ellis, Tachyon, or Knightblitz, and he does so as both Razorwind and Lucas Heron. Furthermore, Lucas has known of Ellis’s nature as Zenithman Tachyon, even since before they first met as Knightblitz and Razorwind, due to Lucas Heron’s parents being friends of the Waltresons family, but did not know that Ellis was Knightblitz until after Episode 19. He generally chooses to stay quiet about Ellis’s personas because, to Lucas Heron, there is no greater pleasure than antagonizing Ellis.

A supercriminal hitman who weaponizes concentrated sound waves to fight Knightblitz. Originally possessing somewhat noble intentions but with misguided methods, his morals eventually spiral out of control into villainy as his noble intent vanished with time.

A ruthless crime boss and wealthy elite among the criminals in Arlamor, Eurig Victorson is an experienced crime lord and businessman with a muscular physique and bulky frame who, despite preferring to have his thugs do the fighting for him, is very capable of fighting Knightblitz. Whether it’s in pure hand-to-hand, using an automatic firearm, or using other weapons, Eurig has the strength as well as a significant portion of the skill required to beat Knightblitz in a 1-on-1 fight. Furthermore, in addition to being a known-but-uncatchable champion of crime in Arlamor, he utilizes a group of young, easily-replaceable gangsters to control a smaller gang that acts as a group of armored thugs wearing varied armored masks, who he leads personally as the heavily armored, masked/hooded crime boss known as ‘Mafia’ and uses to expand his gang’s territory.

An elderly, grey haired forensic scientist who eventually becomes a rival vigilante to Knightblitz, using an exosuit with a Robin Hood aesthetic. He shows up early on in the series as the corrupt head of Arlamor Police Department’s forensics division before becoming a vigilante by Episode 23. As the vigilante Verdentiil, Jonah uses self-invented ‘Teleporter Pearls’ that teleport him to wherever they land once thrown for stealth and a pair of pistol-like plasma-based guns that can be combined back-to-back into a sniper rifle-like form for offense.

A reoccurring villain inspired by many examples of extraterrestrial invaders in Tokusatsu with Kaiju bodyguards, Keilrix is a representative agent of an expansive extraterrestrial intergalactic union outside the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation, designated with the task of killing Zenithman Tachyon. He has the ability to grow to the size of a Kaiju and, via advanced cybernetic enhancements, can react to high-speed attacks from Zenithman Tachyon.

An intergalactic Middle Eastern ecoterrorist who was born in the late 1920s, Ralquaz al Qayaan is a former anti-war activist and public speaker who saw the rise of Kaiju and the first attack teams. Due to experimentation done on him by an unidentified race of extraterrestrials between 1986 and 1995 (a time before the first Zenithman arrived on Earth), he is alive, well, and very active by the 9700s, when Knightblitz is active. He is the leader of the “Brotherhood of Shadows” and has a daughter named Tanilia al-Qayaan who will inherit the Brotherhood of Shadows after his death.

A highly dangerous individual of an extraterrestrial race, the Primordions, who went by the false name "Damien Hydles" to work at Waltresons Innovations Inc, under the false pretense of researching new ways to rehabilitate the mentally ill, Psychosis is an extremely dangerous supercriminal who uses gauntlets capable of generating and releasing a highly potent toxic gas referred to as "Psycho Toxin". When inhaled or otherwise injected, Psycho Toxin can quickly trigger a wide assortment of violent, often psychopathic or sociopathic behaviors in others, often resulting in the development of severe psychotic mental illnesses post-exposure. Psychosis’s real name is unknown, but regardless he is single-handedly responsible for the most damage to Knightblitz’s symbol and legacy. Over the course of time after his first appearance and an idea solidified in his mind by the time of his second appearance, he’d manage to connect the dots and become aware of Knightblitz and Tachyon being one and the same, leading to a final appearance of Psychosis in the 3-part series finale of Zenithman Tachyon: The Adventures of Knightblitz as the final main villain.

A brilliant forensic scientist who works for the Arlamor Police Department. He uses unconventional techniques that frequently yield results, making him a valuable asset to Knightblitz. He supports both Zenithman Tachyon and Knightblitz. 

A police chief who serves as Ryleigh’s second-in-command, taking responsibility for the Arlamor Police Department’s actions when Commissioner Bill Ryleigh is unable to lead for whatever reason. He supports Tachyon but not Knightblitz.

A detective who is a childhood friend of Ellis’s. He supports Ellis as both Knightblitz and Zenithman Tachyon.

The captain of an ESIDARS America field operations unit called the US Epsilon-One Kaiju Field Unit, Marcus frequently has his unit passively help the Arlamor Police Department with criminal cases related to Kaiju, as well as keeping Kaiju-centric evacuations controlled. He supports Tachyon but not Knightblitz.

A heavily corrupt detective who, despite being a cop, is far from above the common thugs of Arlamor. He is the brother of Marcus Hayes who supports Ellis as neither Tachyon nor Knightblitz.

A young, idealistic lawyer who has committed himself to representing Arlamor’s most underprivileged citizens. He supports Ellis as both Knightblitz and Ultraman Tachyon.

An 18 year old (as of Season 3) young man who becomes the second Paladyn in Season 3, Derrick Pendleton is a student at Arlamor University studying Kaiju Biology who was born and raised, for much of his early childhood, in an illegal fighting club. He was rescued from the fight club by Alicia Ifulton during her time as Paladyn in one of Knightblitz’s first cases working with the Arlamor Police Department shortly before his 14th birthday.

A young, rough-around-the-edges mech pilot working for ESIDARS-Japan, Saroia Mivea is a strong, young Zareian woman with a fiery fighting style in combat. She is a member of a small Civilian Operatives team, similar to Team MLV, serving as one of only 2 mech copilots on her unit.

However, due to her status as one of only three total mech pilots on her combat unit, her exceptionally combative attitude, and her uncoordinated, easily distracted approach to ESIDARS’s mech piloting systems, her combat unit is primarily called upon to pilot mechs in non-combat scenarios.

Furthermore, even when her combat unit is chosen for combat, her elder brother Dakolra is typically picked over her as the copilot, which should be portrayed as serving as a point of frustration for Saroia.

A member of ESIDARS’s Voswuinian Branch, Hazole is a prominent Lieutenant amongst the ranks of the ESIDARS Dunlirnom Field Unit, a combat unit designed to protect Dunlirnom. A nearly middle-aged Zareian woman with a heart of stone, Hazole is a cold, dutiful and emotionally distant officer at first, though her stoicism is not without reason: she was shaped by a life of discriminatory remarks, by a world that would not inherently accept her.

Hazole should be seen gradually opening up to Team MLV throughout the series’s first season.

A young Zenith swordswoman influenced by a lost familial bond, Hitoko Ebinuma deals with an immense internal grief and guilt. She feels a sense of unworthiness of her father's legacy, guilt for her final, anger-filled words to her father, and grief for the loss of her father’s life. Hitoko generally tries to hide her grief from others initially, but has always proven incapable of hiding her grief forever, resulting in gradual reveals. In her apartment, she has a framed photo of herself and her father, in human form, that both represents and enhances their lost bond. Experienced in the ways of martial swordsmanship but not necessarily in the ways of a Zenith, as Zenithwoman Valor, Hitoko joined MLV to forge her legacy, but continues to fight as part of a team to understand what makes a Zenith Warrior a hero.

One of the Typhonian Marvels, Naomi Kinjo is the younger sister of Haruto Kinjo. A young woman with a powerful sense of justice, Naomi does not have the same traumatic experiences as her elder brother. On the whole, she is an incredibly optimistic woman with the heart of a warrior but the naivety of a child.

A young Hefyung scientific analyst working for ESIDARS-Japan, Eriz Avhorus is Ryan Genesis’s girlfriend. Her ancestry is almost purely that of the Hefyungian Lion tribe (more formally known as the Hefyung Olvgralian Tribe). She is a strong-willed character with a powerful sense of justice and an overwhelming optimism that is backed by her immense scientific brilliance.

The Supreme Commander of ESIDARS-JP, Chigusa Kumagai is responsible for authorizing Team MLV’s operations in ESIDARS. She is a firm believer in the Zeniths’ compassionate approach to militarism, due to her upbringing, and is someone who understands the importance of mankind’s past interactions with the Zenithmen in shaping the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation’s present and believes that lessons learned from the Zenith Defense Force in the past should never be forgotten in the future. Chigusa is largely responsible for the acceptance of the Typhonian Marvels as citizens of the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation.

An elderly woman who was once good friends with Ellis Waltresons’s parents and who serves the role of Ellis’s surrogate mother, Professor Elena Storm Nightingale is a prominent figure in Arlamor due to her former career as a therapeutic educational consultant at Arlamor University through her association with Ellis’s family.

A 19 year old, orphaned teenage woman who was once interested in becoming a film composer, Alicia’s family was taken from her by the Brotherhood of Shadows due to the insubordination of her father, who had been working as one of said ecoterrorists in secret. She is an expert hacker and a technology enthusiast. Prior to the series, she was an intern for Waltresons Innovations Inc who discovered Knighblitz was Ellis, and decided to take on the vigilante persona Paladyn in an attempt to assist him in his war on crime. However, as time went on, she found out that he was also Zenithman Tachyon, leading to the necessity for enhanced coordination by the start of the series. She eventually takes on a new, independent vigilante persona in Avirilahavenn, “Steelsong”, at some point between Season 2 and Season 3. During Season 3, she acts as an occasional mentor to Derrick Pendleton, the second Paladyn.

A recurring anti-heroine / villainess portrayed as a young, wealthy woman who uses her donations to charities for ESIDARS’s archeological research branches to hide her true nature, Lorraine Williams is the human vigilante Switchblade, who uses a variety of high tech weapons inspired by the medieval period (such as variations of swords, bows and arrows, halberds, spears, etc.) in combat.

An African American woman who hunts high profile targets and weaponizes Kaiju, Imara Omari is the villainess known as Deadfall.

A wealthy young woman and self-proclaimed oracle who commands a cult that worships her. She is a heavily deluded woman who genuinely believes herself to be the current day’s reincarnation of Gladeriana, a mythological female warrior from ancient Alien Golld mythology who died in search of her husband Gladerius after he had been cursed to forever wander the cosmos by the gods. Despite these delusions, Marcine has enough mental faculty to command a relatively-large scale cult with some efficiency. Though Marcine is not a regular foe of Knightblitz's, she is one he always attempts to get proper rehabilitative aid for.

An arsonist whose ancestry draws to the Fotea Makila on her Mother’s side and to the Skuro Avisa on her father’s side, Zarasa Kagralea is a young Zareian woman who has symptoms of both pyrophilia and pyromania, the former mental illness of hers of which led to a delusion that has made her genuinely believe she is an ”Ambassador to the Flames”. In her eyes, arson is not a crime that kills, but a bringer of purity: she is a genuinely unwell individual who does not comprehend the problems she causes. Knightblitz only comes into conflict with her on very rare occasions.

A darkness-powered E41 Zenithwoman who is the former wife of Ellis’s father. She was divorced (prior to Ellis’s conception) due to her feelings towards the war between the Zeniths on Planet E41 misaligning with those of Ellis’s father, and, as such, views Richard Waltresons as a coward who abandoned the war effort in dishonor. She has a tendency to use a mockingly maternal tone with Tachyon, acknowledging her estranged familial connection with his father. Helmerion comes into conflict with Ellis Waltresons frequently, both as Tachyon and as Knightblitz.

Ralquaz’s loyal, militaristic daughter, Tanilia commands the Brotherhood of Shadows’ most prestigious operations under most circumstances.

A middle-aged woman politician that serves the role of mayor of Arlamor, even before her mayoral campaign was won, Evelyn Harper tasked herself with the incredibly difficult task of cleaning up Arlamor’s immense political corruption, a task she has since found to be more difficult than she ever initially imagined. She supports Tachyon but not Knightblitz. 

A female journalist/reporter who wants to reveal (depending on the episode) both or either the motive or identity of Knightblitz. She supports Ellis as both Knightblitz and Ultraman Tachyon.

The chief of the US Epsilon-One Kaiju Field Unit who is secondarily the group’s Vice Captain, Sarah Yates is a constantly-busy young woman fighting to protect lives from criminals and Kaiju alike. She supports Ellis as both Knightblitz and Ultraman Tachyon.

A heavily corrupt police detective who, despite being a cop, is far from above the common thugs of Arlamor. She is partnered with Vernon Hayes and supports Ellis as neither Tachyon nor Knightblitz.

The Commander of the Zenith Defense Front’s High Security Force, Genjiro Taguchi is the human form of Zenithman Zaarens. He is responsible for the existence of Team MLV, and holds them accountable for their investigative efforts in ESIDARS. He is someone who is fond of the days when intervention from the Zenithmen was more necessary for humanity’s survival and future, but who does not mind the new world order.

Chikara Hakaisha is the son of the Typhonian Hand, Keigi Hakaisha / Dark Isemiovrei. Though aware from the start of the show of his father’s corruption, he is initially unaware his father was the Typhonian Hand. He is not an immediate member of Team MLV, but rather a member who joins shortly after his first appearance, simultaneously alongside his sister, Rowena Hakaisha. As Chikara, he is initially portrayed as a young man trying to fit in with the societies of Earth. As Vylcan, he is portrayed as an experienced, honorable fighter using his status as an Elemental Commander of the Elemental Essence of Energy to enhance his punches and kicks while enhancing his energy attacks to attack with greater force than most Zenith Warriors can naturally achieve. Across both forms, he is portrayed as honorable, even to his foes, and generous to those in need.

One of the Typhonian Marvels, Haruto Kinjo is a young man with a kind, brave heart. Generous towards others and understanding of people’s feelings and conditions, Haruto is a good person with a deep-rooted sense of justice. However, deep beneath his kindhearted exterior, Haruto hides a deeply traumatized side of his soul: he is scarred by almost 20 years in the Typhonian Project’s main headquarters, Haruto has seen several atrocities committed against his fellow Typhonian Marvels, often to the extent that they culminate in their demise.

A middle-aged, slightly-pompous mech pilot who works for ESIDARS-Japan alongside his younger sister, Saroia Mivea, Dakolra is a broadly-built Zareian man with a structured, firm fighting style in combat. While well-meaning overall, Dakolra can be a considerably poor mannered man, partly leading to Saroia’s disdain for the higher-ups tending to pick Dakolra over her. While overall he can be rough to her, he does care deeply about Saroia, and would more than likely stop serving in ESIDARS if anything happened to her, whether it be through her highly uncoordinated piloting or via other means.

Kayoto Ogata is the son of Hiroshi Ogata (Zenithscepter Alctulas) and the human form of Zenithscepter Tigix. As a human, Kayoto is a young man with a determined, fiery fighting spirit and sense of justice in heart whose current identity is the result of a battle-hardened childhood on the Star of Zenith. As a Zenith, his fighting spirit is channeled into a passionate yet fiery force that fights to protect, using a glaive-like bladed polearm marked with his inherent colors to fight kaiju. He is burdened with a deformed inner light that is constantly tempered by an inner darkness, allowing him to see both sides of the spectrum.

An experienced tech engineer and pilot from ESIDARS-Japan, Cooper is a young man with a massive skill for breaking encrypted Quantunet passwords. He is portrayed as outgoing and professional. Furthermore, he is the first non-founding member of Team MLV to learn of the true, Zenith Warrior nature of the team’s founding members. He has a semi-rocky past.

A former Nadriuze war general from the First Reaprea War, Ignitious Tharrokarys now stands as the last remnant of the Nadriuze culture and the only Zenith Warrior to ever fight fully toe-to-toe with the Deplorable Reaprea’s spirit form. A god-tier Zenithman with extreme physical strength and agility alongside considerable mystic capabilities, Ignitious draws his powers from the Superdivine Flame of the Primordials.

A Cosmic God of Life and Knowledge, the ‘Ultimate Embodiment of the Elemental Essence of Infinity‘, Aurumin is the eternal adversary / archenemy of the Reaprea. Despite being a capable tactician and warrior, he serves primarily as the bookkeeper of the Auruminian Library at the Temple of Infinity, though he is also the protector of the Infinitium Core.

The father of Kayoto Ogata (Zenithscepter Tigix), Hiroshi Ogata is a member of the Zenith Defense Force’s High Security Force who ranks as the organization’s primary Chief, briefly below Commander Zaarens within the agency’s structure. He is a stoic, elderly man with a powerful sense of justice.

A young Zareian woman of Diastos Brekkan descent and a member of ESIDARS-JP who frequently aids Team MLV.

The febluoneirian-powered sister of Chikara Hakaisha, whose febluoneirian energy cells come from a second attempt by Febluoneich to reassert dominance over the Central Universe. Due to her lineage as the descendent of a Zenithman who was under active conversion into a Reapre’Al dark lord, thus rendering her the crossroads between two separate forms of the Reaprea’s power, she is a special Febluoneirian, having abilities not possessed by other Febluoneirians. 

As such, her 3 Febluoneirian Kaiju are all naturally enhanced into physiological-energetic statuses beyond their species’s natural capabilities, these states being referred to as “Titanoid”. Furthermore, as Anastasia, Rowena is also capable of “talking to” Kaiju aside from her 3 Febluoneirian kaiju via generating “alpha frequencies”, which are effectively bioacoustics used by Titan-Class Kaiju to communicate, a trait which has in turn earned her the nickname of “the Kaiju Whisperer”. 

Regardless of all her Febluoneirian-induced abilities, she used to have access to the Elemental Essence of Creation, but lost this power due to her procurement of Febluoneirian energy cells. However, she does not particularly care, as what she has gained in its place has, in Rowena’s mind, made up for the loss. Overall, Rowena is portrayed as a young woman with an affinity for Kaiju and a heroic heart.

The daughter of Zenithman Infinity, Natsuki Hanamura is a young woman with relatively minimal combat experience who possesses a unique, powerful genetic mutation known as the “Phoenix Heart”, which grants her significant supernatural abilities similar to those of the mythological Phoenix. 

She possesses this genetic condition due to her father, who also possesses the Phoenix Heart mutation and has possessed it since birth. However, neither Natsuki nor her father knew of their mutated condition until events that allowed for the full awakening of its powers in both Cecilia and Infinity alike sometime within the last 1 to 2 thousand years. 

As for Natsuki, she takes pride in being the daughter of one of the famed Zenith Elite, a trait portrayed as enabling experienced enemies to provoke and manipulate her into making mistakes, as her desire to prove her combat skill as equivalent to those of other descendants of the Zenith Elite, such as Zenithman Zegon, is often enough to enable a psychological opening for manipulations.

A child prodigy working as part of Team MLV, Erina is 19, having graduated from High School at the age of 11. She has had a PhD in Kaiju Biology since the age of 16, placing her among the top 25 most intelligent humans for her age currently alive in the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation. That said, she is not often recognized for this. While it does not bother her to as extreme a degree as this recognition might for others, Erina is occasionally affected by her lack of recognition. Furthermore, Erina is portrayed as an extremely talented and clever individual, whether it be via a knack for instantaneous scientific observations of massive calculative nature or via other means. That said, she is also a character who has traits of social anxiety and/or who can be socially awkward. Nevertheless, she will be an enjoyable-to-watch and easygoing scientifically-minded character.

A Zareian woman of Favmaso Beltora descent, Veruze is Team MLV’s mission operator. She keeps track of variables that could go wrong in the field and makes sure operations go as planned. She should be portrayed as understanding and empathetic, hyper-intelligent, and a clever thinker. Veruze is the proud, responsible owner of a pet Voswuinian Mastiff named Zagerla, who is portrayed as an active, yet 10-11 year old, purebred dog measuring 3 feet 11 inches at the shoulders and weighing 560 pounds.

A Typhonian Marvel who lives in Goshaku, Japanese Omega-One, Neskia Eabareld should become an ally of Team MLV relatively early on in the series and eventually earn a role on the team itself. She is a young woman with a strong sense of determination, respect for others, and bravery. In regards to her relations with other characters, Neskia is sort of a layperson, albeit with a slightly-scientifically inclined mind. She has a grasp of basic science, but higher levels of scientific understanding (advanced thermodynamics, nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, etc.) are beyond her to some extent, as they are for many people in the real world. Neskia’s primary character flaw is her hotheadedness, which can cloud her judgement slightly.

The eldest daughter of the legendary Mana Dragon ambassador to Ligyunil society, Lady Layla, Nydelia fulfills a similar role to the one her mother did, being an official diplomatic representative of the Mana Dragons to the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation. By her relation to her mother, Nydelia is the biological granddaughter of Rondiar and Ozasri, two war veterans of the Ozarvis 32 Divine War, and the mystically-synthetic granddaughter of Irdopyrit, the tyrannical wartime general who Rondiar and Ozasri formed their own division against towards the end of the War for Ozarvis.

A powerful user of the same magic as Ryan Genesis, Nydelia is just as strong as her mother, possibly even stronger. Furthermore, though she is young by Mana Dragon standards, Nydelia has developed a similar wisdom to her mother’s in her approach to her ambassadorial duties due to her extensive lifespan.

A member of the Zenith Defense Force’s High Security Force who ranks alongside Hiroshi Ogata as a Chief of the agency’s structure, Celestia Muramoto / Zenithwoman Kestrel is a Drake-Born Zenithwoman from Planet Z587. She is initially, albeit briefly, a form of anti-hero, staunchly against Team MLV’s purpose at first, though she does not actively do anything to stop them due to knowing that what they are doing is beneficial for both the Zenith Defense Force and Intergalactic Civilizations Federation, instead offering support and guidance in spite of her own stated beliefs. The reason she does not initially agree with Team MLV’s actions is because, unlike Commander Zaarens, she believes in the self-sufficiency and strength of the current world order humanity has built without the Zenithmen. However, over time, Kestrel is convinced that humanity, while no longer living in the systematically fraught world of the 20th and 21st centuries, is still not as strong as she thought, and thus begins to support Team MLV’s mission. She has a husband named Zenithman Soul, who is of the Wyvern-Born race of Z587 Zeniths, and two hybrid-born offspring (one daughter and one son).

The middle-aged, current Human Host of Zenithman Constelas, Daisuke Isozaki is simultaneously the descendent of an ancient human form taken by Constelas. He is the latest in a very long line of hosts for Constelas. Furthermore, he is a stoic, warrior-hearted man with a history in ESIDARS Japan who left for one of the USCDF’s other branches. He often speaks in unison / tandem with Zenithman Constelas when they fight, particularly doing so when their link is under extreme stress and/or under high excitation / unity.

One of 3 Commanders of ESIDARS-JP, ranking just under Chigusa Kumagai, Koichi is a middle-aged man who serves as the main superior rank / supervisor to Team MLV on the ESIDARS side of their operations. He is an experienced military leader who has fought through untold battles with many other teams to ensure the safety of the Intergalactic Civilizations Federation.

A young Zenith with natural mystic abilities and taught in the usage of mystic arts who had prepared from childhood to be a Zenith Hero, but who was never ready for the attention it would come with, Ryan Genesis is a generally self-sufficient young man with a passion for sorcery and a powerful sense of justice. He comes from a large family and is the descendent of three races originally from Ozarvis 32, being part-Zenithman, part-Ligyunil, and part-Hefyung by virtue of his paternal grandparents. Furthermore, his passion for sorcery stems from his paternal grandparents, former-Grand Mystic and Ligyunil Empire political reformer Blake Atkins Genesis, better known as Zenithman Kejadian, and the Hefyung-born Zenith Warrior and former victim of the Dawn’s Massacre, Jane Risocneir, better known as Zenithwoman Chlorida, both of whom trained him from youth to be capable in the ways of their magic, though there were many significant lessons Ryan learned from his direct parents. While not the strongest or fastest of Team MLV’s founders, Ryan is their resident expert on magical energy and, as Zenithman Magnystic, their most versatile combatant; he can perform telekinesis with merely a gesture, teleport within the blink of an eye, increase his exertion limit temporarily, and much more.
