Name: Haruka Aikawa

Title: Ultimate Singer

Birth Date: June 21

Like: Iced latte and tiramisu cake

Dislike: Fish dumplings and horror films

Family: Adopted mother

Previous School: Pioneer Conservatory

Class: 77-B Class

Appearance: Haruka has blue eyes, black hair, and weighs a little less than 48kg (roughly 105lbs). He also appears to have fairly sharp canine teeth, many lip and ear piercings, as well as a few minor tattoos. At school, Haruka dresses heavily in order to hide his tattoos, wears thick-rimmed glasses, and lets his hair fall to his shoulders to cover up his piercings. Out of school, however, he wears his hair up and does not seem to care that other people see his piercings and tattoos. Piercings appear on his left ear and his bottom lip. Haruka has quite an attractive, if a bit feminine, face. His clothing style is rather hipster-ish.

Personality: In school, he gives off an impression of a quiet, anti-social guy. Usually assumed to be an otaku with good studying capabilities, Haruka is soon to be viewed as a good friend. Despite the weather, Haruka tries to cover up as much as possible in order to hide his tattoos and leaves his long hair loose to cover up his piercings. This image briefly changes once he leaves school, particularly at home. He also enjoys getting lattes from Spacebucks and does not mind wearing short sleeves that shows off part of his tattoos. Unlike most characters that wear glasses, Haruka does very poorly in his studies, only managing to score full marks in P.E and average (or below) in all other classes. Although usually having trouble pronouncing certain Japanese words, he is very good at tongue twisters.

Haruka generally has a laid back attitude and is slow to anger towards people but shows that he has a short tempered and violent side. During his junior high years he pierces his ears using a safety pin as a way to cope with his struggling school life where he is ostracized and bullied by his classmates for his shyness. During this time it is suggested that he also contemplated suicide. It is unknown where or if there is a specific reason he got his tattoos but it is said that he has a fairly impulsive nature and the tattoos were gotten on impulse. He does not seem to regret getting the tattoos, however he needs to keep them covered up and because of this is unable to wear short sleeves or a swimsuit while in school.

He appears to have very low self-esteem and is very awkward when talking to people he's not close with, often saying he can't connect well with others. He worries that it would be embarrassing for others to be seen with him. Haruka hates drawing any sort of unnecessary attention towards himself, preferring to be treated as "invisible" in class. He is a very kind and caring person. Haruka also cares a lot for his friends and has helped his classmates on several tasks. He is also very air-headed and clueless, especially when it comes to romantic affairs which leads to comical situations. Despite his mellow nature, he becomes violent when trying to defend himself from physical attacks.

English VA: Brad Swaile

Name: Gamu Akiyama

Title: (Former) Ultimate Tutor

Birth Date: December 15

Like: Odango and cold tea

Dislike: Boiled pickles and hot tea

Family: Father, stepmother, younger stepbrother

Previous School: East Bridge Secondary School (before Hope's Peak), Acadia University (after Hope's Peak), Tranquility College (as a teacher)

Class: 74th Class (as student), Reserve Course (as teacher)

Appearance: Gamu has magenta eyes, black hair and is rather toned. Despite being older and already graduated from university, he looks more like a student teacher. He mostly wears semi-formal clothing whenever he teaches. Outside school, he's absolutely casual.

Personality: Gamu is a composed and quiet teacher. People are often caught off guard by his impassive voice and intimidating gaze. His moments of poignant silence scare many away from him. The teacher walks with a straight gait befitting a leader and appears aloof to his surroundings. Even the staff members of Hope's Peak are nervous approaching him and are afraid he might lash out at them.

Yet Gamu is actually truly considerate teacher. He carefully arranges his words to be concise as possible; his eyes catch onto minute details; his actions are never wasted. Whenever a problem occurs, he acts upon the most efficient solution available to him. He acknowledges the best in others and is rarely known to belittle someone on a subjective bias. He appreciates good will and shares it with those he feels is willing to be with him. He treasures his fellow man and even feels remorseful conjuring discipline which will hurt others. He is a man of his word who never wishes to abandon a friend. A man of humble tastes and modesty, Gamu's kindness is hard to spot to an untrained eye. His flaws lies in his tendency to over think his postulations and his failure to emote. He won't act or validate his statements until he feels he is fully convinced of them. Gamu rarely explains the context of his thoughts to others so he causes many misunderstandings with his brief utterances or seemingly sudden movements. Kyosuke, Chisa and Juzo are perceptive enough to understand him.

English VA: Steve Blum

Name: Kairi Minakaze

Title: Ultimate Stuntman

Birth Date: March 27

Like: Adrenaline and retro music

Dislike: Sea urchins and medicine

Family: Father

Previous School: Lone Pine High School

Class: 78th Class

Appearance: Black hair, green eyes, slender yet muscled and tanned skin from the sun. He wears a red singlet from under his uniform. Outside school, he always wears shorts.

Personality: Kairi is a confident, cheerful, and impulsive young man who tends to get bored easily. Despite his flaws, his classmates hold him in high regard and enjoy his company, saying he's someone that's good with people and understands them. In addition, out of all his friends he seems to has the most common sense, as he usually acts the straight man among the many eccentricities of the class and doesn't get as amazed by their antics as his friends. Though unlike Makoto, he doesn't show particular interest in the many festivities like his classmates do (though he seems to simply not care for holidays in general). He claims his only skill and hobby is escaping, though he's shown to be more intelligent than he lets on, managing to solve a number of difficult puzzles in seconds. However, this is overshadowed by his lack of motivation.

Leon states that Kairi would not be popular with ladies because he has a lousy personality, looks like he would be bad with money, and can't get a job. In addition, Leon also states that he is a stick in the mud, has the worst handwriting, not good at math, can't play sports, is clueless when it comes to recreational activities, can't do anything but run and climb, but understands his friends and people as much as Naegi does.

Japanese VA: Ayumu Murase

English VA: Spike Spencer

Name: Shion Kaburagi

Title: Ultimate Helper

Birth Date: December 22

Like: Cleaning and money

Dislike: Treachery and dumb questions

Family: Mother, estranged father, 7 other half-siblings on the father's side.

Previous School: Marble Hills School for Boys

Class: 77-A Class

Appearance: Blonde braid, blue eyes and a face of an angel. He wears a shirt and loose red necktie under a blue short-sleeve jacket.

Personality: Shion is a calm but cryptic individual known for his sincere loyalty towards the student council. However, he has no qualms employing ruthless measures to gain results in school affairs. Others fear him for his willingness to bend and break others, though he views it as a necessary evil to help facilitate the school's future. Pragmatic by nature, Shion believes that leaders should be cruel enough to make difficult choices for the greater good.

While his methods match Asukasei's mindset and they share friendly relations, Shion is particularly fond of Soshun. Though opposite in every respect, they share an odd friendship of respect which surpasses most people's expectations. Shion may quip and disagree with his friend yet his devotion is unquestionable. He also sarcastically praises the others, well aware that his condescending remarks flies beyond most of the other members' comprehension. However, Shion's acclaim becomes genuine if he is impressed by the dedication they display.

Despite his high society upbringing, he is very frugal and is always cautious with money. This has others call him a cheapskate, though he shrugs it off. He expresses his annoyance to those who waste money. Shion can be considered to be an expert haggler.

Name: Hotaru Tsukagami

Title: Ultimate Rebel

Birth Date: November 19

Like: Slapstick comedy and martial arts movies

Dislike: Tokusatsu (he believes there is no justice) and the school education system

Family: Status unknown

Previous School: Sandalwood Institute

Class: 79th Class

Appearance: Hotaru has brown eyes and hair along with a rather toned body. He wears a modified black collar skintight jacket with short sleeves and cross emblems, black fingerless gloves with red guards, with his right arm tightly covered by a material, black trouser with a red belt, and black-red boots with metal guards.

Personality: Due to the inhumane experiments done to him, Hotaru became bitterly, even bitingly sarcastic and cynical, as well as generally misanthropic. He is also easily enraged and extremely aggressive, which, in turn, makes him exceedingly trigger-happy with an innate desire for violence. Despite his toughness, he also possesses a vicious sense of humor.

He appears to pride himself on his abilities and professionalism. A rebel, Hotaru has a higher sense of self-preservation and interests than the rest of his classmates. Though he displays a somewhat heroic personality, Hotaru still has a distorted view of the logical and ethical boundaries of the law. Hotaru is driven by revenge before he joined Hope's Peak Academy and that trait still remains with him.

Hotaru is also stunningly intelligent, as he is much more intelligent than a normal human and at least as intelligent as a genius if not more so. He is able to conceive very complex, intricate plans in a very short period of time. However, this intelligence is occasionally superseded by his emotions which appear to be exceedingly strong such as his desire for revenge.

However, deep down, Hotaru is incredibly lonely and carries overwhelming pain over the experimentation that was performed on him before he broke out. He covers his insecurities well, but once he is drunk, he becomes very emotional and if possible, even more violent, speaking of how he did not 'ask' to be made into what he believed was a "monster", implying that the experiments done to him were torturous. It is perhaps because of this loneliness and pain that he despises being derided as an animal.

Japanese VA: Mitsuki Saiga

English VA: Ted Sroka

Name: Eizan Fukai

Title: Lil' Ultimate Archer

Birth Date: March 19

Like: Nature and animals

Dislike: Exercise and loud noises

Family: Mother, stepfather and stepbrother.

Previous School: Freedom Elementary

Class: Elementary

Appearance: Eizan has black hair and brown eyes. He always wears a hoodie over his head and a pair of goggles over his eyes.

Personality: Eizan has a deadpan and straight forward personality. He is very hard working and always tries to satisfy the needs of his friends above his own. He has no presence and is quite unnoticeable, a trait that goes well with his misdirection. He has also displayed much respect towards the reserve course students and thinks that while main course students have to have pride, reserve course students need to have respect. Despite his initial kind personality, Eizan gets extremely furious at dirty play. His aura changes so drastically, that even Monaca gets scared when he sees him like that. When Eizan gets angry, his shots are even more accurate, as he is filled up with fighting spirit. When the situation worsens, he seems to turn talkative.

He has metaphorically referred to himself as a "shadow". He means that he is supporting someone else, and that he becomes stronger when the "light" is stronger. The "light" would be the friend he supports.

Outside class, despite his unnoticeable personality, Eizan is very gentlemanly when dealing with girls. Amongst his friends, Masaru, Jataro and Nagisa are really shocked to see how easily Eizan can cheer up Kotoko and even knows what to do when interacting with them. Eizan also lectures Masaru that he should deal with girls more delicately.

Overall, he is a very calm, rational person, but it is shown that he also has his silly moments. He once said that he can also become noticeable and does so by pulling his jacket over his head, making people automatically see him and laugh. There are times where he uses his misdirection to run away, and also a time where he was late for P.E. class but pretended to have been there from the start (until Nagisa pointed out the sweat on his brow, indicating that he was actually late and had run all the way to school). While initially antisocial towards his friends, he gradually warms up and starts to openly express himself more. It has been shown that he has a soft spot for cute animals, like kittens and dogs.

Japanese VA: Eri Kitamura

English VA: Mona Marshall

A/N: This is just the introduction of the main six protagonists of the story. The VA section is for shits n' giggles.

However, this is to try and help differentiate each character. For each chapter, viewpoints will change base on each character. However when it comes to story arcs based on each class, viewpoints will only switch to the character of the same standing.

The order of character chapters:

1. Haruka (Class 77-B.)

2. Gamu (Adult/Reserve Course)

3. Kairi (Class 78.)

4. Shion (Class 77-A/Student Council.)

5. Hotaru (Class 79/NDRV3 cast.)

6. Eizan (Elementary Course.)

Eizan's chapters might be sporadic since there are only 5 characters. I will introduce each of the classes in each chapter.
