Psyren/Characters

Since the series has ended, there are many unmarked spoilers, and spoilers from character placement in folders and portraits alone. You have been warned.

Psyren Drifters
The Psyren Drifters are anybody who has been put in Nemesis Q's game and is currently exploring the wasteland in order to figure out the cause and prevent it from happening. This group only lists current Drifters and Nemesis Q. Former Drifters include Matsuri, Usui, and Miyake.

Ageha Yoshina


"Well, I can't tell anything about my future anyway. As long as I'm alive, that's all I need."

The main character, Ageha is an Ordinary High School Student who runs a business where he helps people for a small fee. He lives with his sister, though his father comes around every now and then. Their mother died a few years back though. Ageha finds his way into Psyren after trying to help fellow classmate Sakurako, and unlocks his latent psychic power after surviving his first round. Nemesis Q seems to have a special interest in him, as does the head of the W.I.S.E. Starship Commanders Grana. He possesses a special form of PSI called Melcheese's Door that is fueled by emotions instead of mental focus. Ageha is seriously concerned about changing the future, but dislikes Nemesis Q for tampering with people's lives. Is seen as an older brother by Kyle, and Sakurako as well as Marie have crushes on him. Has taken the role of leader of the Drifters, and made the painful decision to go back without the whole crew. Is described by Shao as "A Starry Sky, with the stars becoming more and more numerous" when he read his mind. Has taken a mindset that he needs to become more and more powerful in order to destroy the WISE. When asked if he meant to protect his friends, Ageha replied with "Same thing". This is worrying his instructor Matsuri, who wants to avoid having him turn into a Knight Templar.

Ageha's power is called Melchesse's Door, and instead of being based on control over the mind, manifests through emotions like Fredrica's and Shao's powers. In it's regular form, it is a giant Sphere of Destruction that releases branches that home in one any PSI signature, piercing them and sucking them dry. Through training, Ageha has channelled this energy into new, more useful forms. The first was Melchesse's Lance, an energy beam that homed in on a target and pierced them from afar. Then he developed the defensive Disc, which functions both as a shield, and a cutting implement at close range. Then he has the Sphere, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, but draining. In this mode, he can cancel it out to use Splash, which is equivalent to baseball-sized shrapnel flying everywhere. When he enters Nova, he takes his emotion-fueled PSI to its logical extreme, wearing it as an armor, having several halos over him, and multiple raw doors floating around him.

Tropes associated with Ageha:
 * Awesome but Impractical - Melchesse's door. The raw version destroys absolutely everything, including allies. The Lance and Splash forms have the same problem, though with the former it takes a strong PSI signature for that to happen, and Splash widespread damage is the intent. Disc is only good at close range, and Sphere puts massive amounts of stress on him.
 * Awesome By Analysis: Most of his techniques have been thought up on the spot to suit the situation perfectly.
 * Bully Hunter: Back when he was in school.
 * Cooldown Hug: To Amamiya when.
 * Cursed with Awesome - Ageha's Melchesse's door is a weapon of pure destruction that works based on the user's emotions, which is a really bad thing for PSI to be based on. The last recorded person with this power went crazy. He seems to be doing fine, and is steadily gaining more and more control over it. After defeating Miroku, he gains perfect control over it.
 * Dark Is Not Evil - Ageha's signature burst is jet black, and this attribute is so unique that it becomes his calling card to the W.I.S.E.
 * Eleventh-Hour Superpower - most of Ageha's door variants have been created at the last second, or thought out but not really tested. Subverted in that because of this he really doesn't realize the weakness of them until it's too late.
 * Estrogen Brigade Bait
 * Even the Guys Want Him: Oboro likes him a lot.
 * The Hero
 * Heroic Resolve
 * Luminescent Blush: Takes this up to eleven by having his entire face, his ears, and his neck blushing so much he looks Ambiguously Brown.
 * Meaningful Name - Ageha is a type of butterfly, a throwback to the Butterfly of Doom, changing the future through actions in the present.
 * The Messiah
 * Enters one of these in Nova.
 * Ordinary High School Student
 * Talking the Monster to Death -
 * The Sixth Ranger - For the Elmore kids
 * Sphere of Destruction
 * Superpower Lottery - Melchesse's Door. To the point where
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Sakurako Amamiya


"Are you okay? You´re giving off...smoke? Tehehe...looks like I cut your core clean in half."

Known as the "Ice Queen", Sakurako is a girl at Ageha's school who's prone to long periods of absence, from which she returns bruised and bandaged up. She avoids contact with all other people, keeping an emotionless façade when forced to interact. Her parents are neglectful, having both basically abandoned her after splitting up and not batting an eye when she vanishes for weeks at a time. She saves Ageha upon his first entrance to Psyren, and is protected by him for the duration of that trip. She then becomes his and Hiryuu's first tutors in using PSI. She eventually warms up to them, and occasionally has some episodes of craziness in battle. Is described by Shao as "Seven Finely Sharpened Blades" when he read her mind. So far she has two named attacks- Insanity Size Mind Jack, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and a remote-viewing technique called Peeping Lover.

Tropes associated with Sakurako:

 * Action Girl
 * Break the Cutie - Psyren has that effect on people.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen

Hiryuu Asaga


"I swore to become that hero, so that I could carry myself with pride when I meet you again."

Also known as "Dragon" Asaga, Hiryuu went to elementary school with Ageha, who bullied him for being a cry-baby. Eventually he became bigger than Ageha, and they went to different schools. They meet again in Psyren, and after their first round he learns PSI quicker than Ageha. He acts as Ageha's Lancer and the Ego in their original Power Trio. He eventually becomes The Big Guy when Oboro and Kabuto arrive. Matsuri, who is worried about Ageha and Oboro going mad with their power tells him that he is the only one who could stop either of them should the worst happen.

 * Trapped by Mountain Lions
 * The Worf Effect - One of the main victims.

Oboro Mochizuki


"We've only just met today! Must you end your life here?! Unacceptable! I won't allow you to! My life as Mochizuki Oboro is just getting interesting. To protect that life, I need every piece, not lacking a single one!"

A popular idol, Oboro was first seen talking about Psyren on live television - and nearly dying in the process. After being saved by Elmore and Van, he made his first trip there and met Ageha, Hiryuu, and Sakurako. Unlike most Drifters, Oboro had his Psychic Nosebleed to awaken his powers in Psyren instead of after leaving, and came to an hour or so later. Not only that, but he remembered the way the psychic energy used to heal him felt, and was able to replicate it perfectly. He also is able to catch the strongest Rise user in Japan off-guard the first time using it, and shows some... interesting uses of his Cure power upon returning to Psyren. Matsuri quite reasonably fears his power, and wants Hiryuu to keep an eye on him. Is described by Shao as "A Field of White" when he read his mind. In the fight against Shiner,

Kabuto Kirisaki


"And besides, ain't running away the perfect solution to staying out of trouble? Escaping all the bad stuff is a great way to live! Plus, it would get rid of all the fighting, y'know? That's how I make peace."

Kabuto's intentions for entering Psyren were not as noble as the rest of the Drifters- he's simply in it for the monetary reward for whoever can divulge it's secrets. Both his parents, are dead, so he lives with his uncle, a journalist who lost a leg while reporting during a war. He arrives at the same time as Oboro, and like him has his Psychic Nosebleed in Psyren, and recovers rather quickly. However, his powers don't manifest until the next journey. Opportunistic, cowardly, and more Genre Savvy than the rest of the group, Kabuto plays the role of The Smart Guy.

In the fourth trip to Psyren (his third),

After returning home from the fourth trip,

Tropes associated with Kabuto:


 * Anime Hair

 * The So-Called Coward
 * Spider Sense - His psychic power "Menace" alerts him of any danger directed towards him.
 * Super Senses - His eyesight is extremely sharp, even without using Rise.

Nemesis Q (AKA Grigori 07)


"...A body... in which to entrust my power, Nemesis... and will... Thus, my time-travelling representative... Program... Nemesis Q."

The mysterious leader of the Drifter movement, Nemesis Q uses pay phones to recruit people to enter Psyren and travel the land in order to find out it's secrets and stop it from ever happening.

 * Moral Dissonance: Save the world by kidnapping people, forcing them to run for their lives in hell on Earth from the worst type of Eldritch Abomination, and hoping they'll do their part even further back home? Oh, and if they try to relieve shell-shock by talking to others, you kill them and turn them into dust if they talk to the wrong people.
 * Naked First Impression: In her.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast
 * Projected Man
 * You Are Number Six: Actually Number 7.
 * Projected Man
 * You Are Number Six: Actually Number 7.
