A/N: This is a list of the characters I have thus far. There are actually plenty of slots open for OCs, and I'd be very grateful for the assist. Though it doesn't look like it, there are several factions that need characters, such as Guild, The Afterlife Empire, and there are four more open spots in The Killers. Here is the template I've been using for most of my characters:

Name: Sakurai Ryou

Nickname/Codename: Shinigami

Faction: SSS 4

Age at Death: 17

Time spent in Afterlife thus far: One Day

Birthday: January 17, 20XX

Gender: Male

Height: 183 cm

Weight: 140 lbs.

Build: fairly well built, due to boxing

Eye Color: Steel

Appearance: wears the standard beige SSS uniform most of the time, but on weekends or outside-school operations he wears a black t-shirt with torn and faded jeans. Has black hair tied back in a short ponytail, and usually wears two odd bracelets with a Greek Ω on each. When it is cold he wears a black coat with a furry hood. As for shoes, he wears heavy black combat boots that look pretty worn.

Skills: Blacksmithing, so he is able to easily make blades out of dirt, boxing, enduring pain, intimidation, and sneaking around.

Unique Abilities: Supernatural powers that he has thus far not used due to being unable to control them at will. He is immune to the hypnotism of almost anyone for some unknown reason.

Strong Subjects: Math, English as a second language, and Physics

Fears: Burning alive

Weakness: Fire

Weapons: A very beautifully engraved knife he forged in the incinerator, any katana that's on hand, a Desert Eagle, and a SCAR-L with a scope. Later on he will wield two katana.

Regret: Being born, as that caused many unfortunate things to befall his family until they all died. It was because of his powers, so he prefers not to use them and rely on his own strength. He hates his powers.

Personality: Tries to be dark and moody, but is easily drawn into things.

Catchphrase: "One's existence is far more fragile than you can imagine."

Death: Burned alive by a psychopathic relative in a murder-suicide. At least, that's how it was ruled by the police in the end.

Life: Born and raised in a blacksmithing family with a long line of supernatural power wielders, he caused the deaths of his family by being unable to control his powers and going berserk. His cousin, a psychopathic murderer, kills them both, though that person doesn't go to the Afterlife since suicide means a person can't go there. Or can they…?

Afterlife: Spent the entire first day acting dead inside, thinking that he had been dreaming about dying and being freed from his cursed existence, until the new 'Tenshi' found him and, repeating what happened between Tachibana Kanade, the first 'Angel', and Otonashi Yuzuru, the amnesiac hero, stabs him in the chest with her Hand Sonic, named Angel Blade at her request, to prove he died.

Name: Otonashi Hana

Nickname/Codename: Tenshi

Faction: Angel Corps/Moral Committee Chairperson

Age at Death: 16

Time spent in Afterlife thus far: Three years

Birthday: July 20, 20XX

Gender: Female

Height: 166 cm

Weight: 120 lbs.

Build: Slight, but Overdrive compensates.

Eye Color: Gold

Appearance: She wears the standard uniform of the afterlife school, white knee-high socks and brown loafers and a pale blue barrette given to her by her mother on the back of her long red hair. On days off or outside-school operations, she wears pink sweatpants and a black Girls Dead Monster shirt. When it is cold, she wears a pink sweatshirt. She has pristine white track sneakers for such occasions too. Her emotionless expression looks oddly out of place in her street clothes though.

Skills: Interrogation, gathering information from NPCs, sewing, knitting, piano, gardening, writing, and remembering faces. She is obviously an experienced fighter.

Unique Abilities: Angel Player-Angel Blade, her version of Hand Sonic (this also has five versions); Distortion, allows her to deflects bullets and other projectiles away using an invisible shield in front of her. The drawback of this skill is that she has to take it down should she want to switch from defense to offense; Delay, creates a sort of after-image for close range combat. It is effective for dodging melee attacks by tricking the enemy into attacking elsewhere; Overdrive, inhuman physical strength; Howling, when dual-wielded Angle Blades vibrate against one another to create a high pitched sound which K.O.s most who hear it; Angel Hurricane, spinning rapidly while dual-wielding Angel Blade.

Strong Subjects: Genius

Fears: Being underground or under rubble

Weakness: Undiscovered

Weapons: Angel Player

Regret: Dying

Personality: Meddling; cares for even her enemies, very kind, but also assertive and aggressive. Surprisingly emotionless for the beginning parts, but Ryou's influence on her through repeated clashes changes this.

Catchphrase: "If you thought your life was that bad, wait until I'm through with you."-said with a very monotone and emotionless soft voice.

Death: Buried alive by a serial killer.

Life: She had a great life, though she always felt like there was a part of her missing. Her regret is getting killed by the serial killer Graveyard.

Afterlife: She rejected the SSS 4's ideas, since it had already been proven by their three sets of predecessors that moving on is the right thing to do. She just couldn't understand why they'd want to stay, so instead she joins the Moral Committee, becoming the chairperson after the previous members all passed on one by one. She knows that she can never pass on.

Lost Guy's OC:

Name: Hans A. Gunter

Nickname/Codename: The German

Faction: SSS 4

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/5 months

Gender: Male

Build: Well-built, but not very muscular.

Appearance: Tall, well built, and often seen wearing a standard Wehrmacht uniform with the helmet and knee high combat boots. He has dark green eyes and dark brown hair with a green stripe in it. His hair is cut short on the back and sides with a few extra centimeters of hair left on the front. When not in said uniform he wears long baggy black pants, a long-sleeved white T-shirt with a green vest and a pair of more polished boots than his combat boots.

Skills and Abilities: Is skilled in use of WWII era firearms and is able to easily memorize the design and components of guns. He is also a very skilled smuggler, able to even fool metal detectors. He is also known for his skill in being a distraction, though it is not known whether his odd distracting behavior (shouting in German and threatening people for no reason or for very ridiculous reasons, such as hair length) is intentional or his true feelings on the subjects he rants about.

Weapons: He carries a seemingly indestructible Zweihander, which he calls the Reich-Knife, and an STG 44 with either a bright pink or neon green flashlight duct taped to it to see in the dark or blind people for a moment. He also has a Mauser C96 for emergencies.

Regrets/Death: Never finding love, finishing the Rosario+Vampire anime, and dying, both leaving his brother alone and breaking his promise to him/was jumped by a gang of six men while on a trip with his brother. Hans managed to kill them all with his Walther pistol, but ended up dying from the knife wounds he received.

Brief summary of life: He lived a good life with his grandparents and brother, in Berlin, Germany where he went to high school. He never had a girlfriend (because he cared more about family than some 'temporary **' as he once said put it) and was seen as a rather odd fellow due to his fascination with the 3rd Reich of old and his obsession with uniforms and the like. He was also one of the few German anime lovers at his school and thus excluded from group activities by his peers. He decided to take a small break from high school and go on a trip with his brother, where he died using a pistol he had disassembled and stored away in his baggage to save his brother's life.

Personality: Rather shy around new people, but prone to moments of seemingly insane actions. Though naive when it comes to women, he is a very kind and considerate soul, no matter group affiliations. He is also seen as rather logical, when not acting crazy.

Quirky Behavior: Collects anything related to anime that he gets his hands on, often talks to himself, sometimes shouts random numbers, not in German, and occasionally speaks only German when startled.

Favorite Things: His collection, weapons, pride, and his comrades.

Weapons: He uses two 9mm Berettas for most missions but a L96A1 Bolt Action Sniper whenever it's called for.

Regrets/Death: He wasn't able to save the life of a child during a terrorist attack aboard a cruise ship.

Brief Summary of life: Toki was a bored high school student. He had no one to care about, and vice versa: the main reason being because he was lazy and didn't bother socializing. He worked as a custodian on a sea liner when terrorist hijacked the vessel and planted a bomb to hold the civilians hostage. With the help of a few other passengers they overpowered the terrorist but not before they set the timer on the bomb. Most of the passengers made it onto life boats but Toki stayed behind to find a little girl a mother said she lost. He found her deep in the bowels of the cruiser but it had been too late to get back to a life boat. She held his hand as they walked through the corridors before sitting in the hall and waiting for death. Soon enough it came, even after he finally had someone to care about.

Personality: You can't get any more laid back than Toki. He's usually napping on the couch in HQ, or gazing at the sky from the roof. He also has a crush on Hideki Seiko, but never gets the chance to tell her. Even though he thinks she already knows.

Quirky Behavior: Relaxed. Loves to take it easy and appreciate the luxury of death.

End of SSS Submitted OC's.

Faction: SSS 4 Dawn of Dusk

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/18 months

Gender: Female

Build: Slight, not very strong

Skills and Abilities: Singing and songwriting.

Weapons: Doesn't fight.

Regrets/Death: Never got to play with her idol, Masami Iwasawa, since she died on the way to a duet with her.

Brief summary of life: She grew up in a rather musical family, but she always idolized rock bands, her favorite being one called Girls Dead Monster. She herself became a very popular solo-vocalist and was invited to sing a duet with Masami Iwasawa, her longtime idol. She died in a car accident on the way to the studio they were going to start practicing in for the concert.

Personality: Very enthusiastic, very happy, and extremely good to her fans. She has a knack for attracting all the attention when she walks into a room.

Name: Ushida Ryoichi

Nickname/Codename: Deep

Faction: SSS 4 Dawn of Dusk

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 15/18 months

Gender: Male

Build: Stereotypical hunk.

Appearance: Grey scraggly hair, giving him a bad-boy look. His eyes are grey, but not steely like Ryou's, and he wears the SSS 4 uniform most of the time. On stage he usually wears jeans and a shirt with some short two or three sentence phrase that has a deep meaning if thought about. Or, he says they do at least.

Skills and Abilities: Playing bass, a shockingly natural aptitude for singing, acting as the singer at times when the song calls for a male vocalist, and keeping the instruments clean and properly cared for.

Weapons: A Taser that he uses on NPC and real people alike who stalk the other band members.

Regrets/Death: Doesn't like to talk about himself, but it has been rumored that he regrets a hit-and-run that led to his own death moments later.

Brief summary of life: He was stuck in a gang for most of his life, but when he tried to escape he crashed into a limo and careened into some scaffolding, bringing an end to his life. He knew right away that he was the one who caused the death of Maroka, since her corpse was the last thing he saw.

Personality: Very quiet, but he will become very aggressive if any of the band members are threatened. He is also very mature for his age.

Quirky Behavior: Tends to insist on doing everything a band hand should do, monopolizing the instrument maintenance.

Favorite Things: Dawn of Dusk, taking care of the band's heavy lifting.

Name: Hideki Reina

Nickname/Codename: Idol

Faction: SSS 4 Dawn of Dusk

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 15/18 months

Gender: Female

Build: Athletic

Appearance: Pink hair with electric blue highlights running down her back and emerald green eyes mark her as the idol of the group. She always wears the SSS uniform, except for holiday concerts.

Skills and Abilities: Playing lead guitar parts and being a backup singer. She can also dance quite elegantly.

Weapons: Knows an abnormal amount of submission holds since finding a notebook in the library giving detailed descriptions on how to perform them.

Regrets/Death: She was the reason that the car driven by Ryouichi slammed into the car Maroka was in; he had veered in an attempt to miss her. The gang members pursuing Ryouichi accidentally shot her though, in what was becoming the biggest and worst crime related traffic accident in decades. This is also her regret; dying when others died because she had been spared.

Brief summary of life: She was a VIP fan of Girls Dead Monster who had been invited along to meet her new hero, Maroka. Having grown up in an orphanage that Girls Dead Monster ran, she was actually quite close to the five women of the band, like a collective daughter. They taught her all she knows about music.

Personality: Perky, cheery, but easily influenced by the overall emotions of those around her, especially when Maroka and Ryouichi have an awkward sad moment between them.

Quirky Behavior: Tries way too hard to keep everyone cheery in a world where only those who had sad ends can arrive.

Favorite Things: Dawn of Dusk, Girls Dead Monster, Ryouichi and Maroka, since they became like siblings to her.

Name: Sasaki Hibiki

Nickname/Codename: Tuner

Faction: SSS 4 Dawn of Dusk

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 16/19 months

Gender: Female

Build: Fit, but not muscular. She is secretly as good a ninja as Stardust.

Appearance: Uneven and probably self-cut black hair makes her look like a boy at times and her red eyes seem to shine in the dark. She wears a scarf around her mouth and neck, a memento of her mother that she managed to find in the Afterlife in a storage shed with a lot of puppies. Usually in the SSS 4 uniform, but during concerts she wears a black dress, every time, no matter how out of sync she is with the rest of the band. Fans say the contrast is nice. She wears the scarf even then too.

Skills and Abilities: Playing keyboard

Weapons: Two Kodachi she found wrapped up in the scarf.

Regrets/Death: She couldn't bring herself to reconcile with her mother after finding out they she believed she had been a murderous ninja in a past life. She died in a mugging.

Brief summary of life: Though she grew up happily in a rather ninja-like family, she never thought she'd hear her mother, Sasaki Shiina, tell her about the Afterlife and that she had been a killer in her past life: a real shinobi. Believing her mom to be insane she swore to never use the ninja skills she taught her even if it cost her everything. It cost her life.

Personality: Very spunky, upbeat and meddlesome. People often compare her and Marietta and say that she is a tomboyish version of Marietta. She has a secret weakness for cute things, but when she is on stage, she is oblivious to everything but the music.

Quirky Behavior: CUTE! And she is, of course, a Tsundere on occasion.

Favorite Things: Her mother's gifts and her keyboard.

Name: Hara Nana

Nickname/Codename: Loud

Faction: SSS 4 Dawn of Dusk

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/2 years

Gender: Female

Build: Average

Appearance: Bluish hair with what can only be described as loud neon green highlights in her hair marks her out in the spotlights, despite being at the back of the action. She always wears a different costume for every performance, but wears the SSS uniform at all other times, stating that 'while the costumes are fun, this uniform is just too cute.' Hibiki's avoidance of her most of the time seems to speak to that. She has very light brown eyes that seem to just draw people in. Ambrose once asked her for hypnotism tips.

Skills and Abilities: Acting unbearably adorable to most, though Ryou and Hana seem to be immune. Takashi appears to have grown immune over time as well.

Weapons: Her adorable facial expressions and those mesmerizing eyes.

Regrets/Death: She was killed because she was acting cute all the time, even when Graveyard was burying her alive. It was her last ditch attempt to escape the man who put more than a few of the students of the Afterlife in enrollment there. He killed her before he finished burying her because her face made him angry.

Brief summary of life: She was a talented percussionist; any percussion instrument was easy for her to play. When she tried to play string instruments or brass instruments, she failed miserably. Graveyard targeted her because of her brightly colored hair.

Personality: Very loud and manipulative.

Quirky Behavior: Enjoys cornering Hibiki and bringing her 'cuteness level' up beyond the keyboard player's ability to withstand, leading to an episode of 'CUUUUUUUUUTE!'

Favorite Things: Messing with Hibiki, being cute, dressing up, playing drums.

Name: Yagyuu Tsubaki

Nickname/Codename: Camellia

Faction: SSS 4 Dawn of Dusk

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/1 month

Gender: Female

Build: Strong looking

Appearance: Has an eye patch over her right eye, usually hidden by the bangs of her long dirty-blonde hair, and she wears the SSS uniform at all times, though she also wears a long black coat over it most of the time. In general, the NPCs see her as a delinquent, since that's who she dresses and acts.

Skills and Abilities: Fighting groups of normal students, playing support guitar parts.

Weapons: Brass knuckles.

Regrets/Death: She was always misunderstood as a delinquent when she simply dressed like that because of the bad influence her mother's high school days had on her; in short, her mom led a women's motorcycle gang in her youth, and raised her daughter to shelf the cuteness in public and act tough. She can't break this habit, but she regrets never being able to be herself around people she doesn't know. She was killed in a street fight.

Brief summary of life: See Regrets/Death…

Personality: Angry and hateful of the world, very distrusting, and hard to get through to. She's theorized to be a yandere by her fellow band mates, but since no one can open her heart, they can't be sure.

Quirky Behavior: She holds all the cute things that Hibiki wants to hoard, claiming they're hers. Since they're roommates, she often tries to save her from Nana's traps.

Favorite Things: Knitting, her eye patch, playing in the band.

The Killers:

Name: Unknown

Nickname/Codename: The Graveyard

Faction: The Killers

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/?

Gender: Male

Build: Strong, very strong.

Appearance: Wears blue jean overalls and a white shirt, calling himself a farmer planting seeds. He has a dirt-coated face with electric blue eyes that shine with insanity and his hair is either blond or dirty-blonde; the dirt caking it makes it impossible to tell.

Skills and Abilities: Can dig really fast and efficiently. Good at sneaking around.

Weapons: A shovel.

Regrets/Death: He didn't get to kill those girls for all eternity/killed by the husband of the silver haired woman meant to be his last victim, the mother of his first.

Brief summary of life: Grew up with a fascination for digging and graveyards, becoming a gravedigger at first, then joining a cult, then leaving it when the feds were closing in. He then discovered his greatest love in life: Burying girls with brightly colored hair alive. Hana, several others, then

Personality: Psychopathic serial killer who hates girls with brightly colored hair or odd personalities.

Quirky Behavior: Seems to think that when he manages to reincarnate he'll be a mole that buries girls alive.

Faction: The Killers

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/?

Skills and Abilities: Knows how to make almost anything flammable or into a bomb.

Weapons: Fire

Regrets/Death: She wants to make Ryou suffer for all eternity in a never-ending flame.

Brief summary of life: She was a normal high school girl until a red-eyed demon with a glowing katana killed her entire family, sparing her only because the sun began to rise. She lost her sanity and became convinced that it was Ryou who had done it upon discovering his family had met the same fate. She accidentally killed herself while burning him alive when she dropped the welding torch she was about to use on the floor by the only exit to the basement. She screamed in pain at first, and then began to enjoy the burning flames as her life came to an end.

Personality: Very normal, oddly enough, until someone mentions something that she associates with Ryou. She flies into a psychotic fury if she sees him.

Quirky Behavior: Claims that she loves her cousin very much. That is why he must suffer.

Favorite Things: Burning Ryou or anyone she can for that matter.

Lost Guy's OC:

Name: Former NPC: 646c3

Current Name: ILighit (i-ligh-it)

Nickname/Codename: Sunshine

Faction: Officially: Guild, Reality: None

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: Death: None, After Life: All of it

Gender: Female

Build: Tall in stature (6.4 ft.), not very broad in the shoulders, C cup chest, white skin, a few freckles, slightly athletic and dull pink hair in a short bob cut.

Appearance: Her body is as said above. She is usually wearing dark red long pants, a slightly maroon T-shirt while wearing a long sleeved jacket over it in a charcoal black trimmed around the collar with lime green and combat boots, though often times she has a hooded cloak that is a darkish blue.

Skills and Abilities:

Forge: is able to create any weapon she wants due to her nature, though she does not know anything about weapons besides a few, and most weapons she knows about are of British and French type.

Teleport: She is also able to perform short range teleportation, only about 20m in any direction, but no one knows how she is able to do this and it is solely because she was originally an NPC.

Charm: (this skill only affects Hans and was purposely designed for him…strange) using this skill she can make the single target really uncomfortable, unfocused and easy to distract, use or kidnap. Though she has yet to do the last two…

Weapons: FAMAS with a red dot sight and a clip of 30 shots, and a bayonet that she calls 'Charging Kiss'. On occasion she carries a British Bren light machine gun and uses it to deadly effect.

Regrets/Death: None; she never lived and never will… or will she?

Brief summary of life: Due to some unseen problem, the NPC character designate 646c3 became essentially an AI instead. Being around from just after the last of the batch of the current NPCs were made, around the time of the SSS3 moved on, she ended up all alone for years. Until the first members of the next SSS arrived, she made herself look as different from the NPCs as possible and came out with her current look. She joined the now massive Guild that occupied the tunnels when she discovered her talent at making the weapons she had read about in books from the library. Though well respected by her fellows, everyone acts a little different towards her, so she regularly makes trips to the surface, often sneaking off when no one is looking.

On the night she met Hans, the two hit it off instantly and that night they became friends…and she fell in love as well. Hans always comes to her when he needs ammunition or a replacement part for his weapons and is completely oblivious to her attempts to seduce him. She often fumes about his crush on Rose Marietta and has often thought about kidnapping him (along with thoughts of what she would do after).

Personality: she is kinda fun and playful, but only to those who know her very well (Hans being one of the very few), to others she is mysterious and aloof, since no one knows about her past and anything about her she is often left all by herself and thus writes short stories for the library on her notepad that never seems to run out, along with a bullet pen made from the cartridge of Hans first shot fired in the afterlife.

When in combat she is vicious and sadistic, almost rivaling Hans when he enters combat during a bout of insanity. She has been known to hang people's bodies from anything she can after winning a fight, only to watch in amusement when they wake up to see a 4m drop between them and the ground.

When it comes to her closest and in her opinion true friend (though she wants to be oh so much more), she is very protective and will often attack his other female friends when she thinks they are getting too close. She is seen as a little sister by her true love which annoys her to no end. Plus she has vowed to make sure Hans does not pass on no matter what or else she will be left alone for eternity.

Origin of her name: when walking with Hans for the first time he asked her name. Quickly looking around she spotted a light shaped like a capital I and said "i-Ligh-it" and thus it stuck to her.

Quirky Behavior: Sadistic, writes short stories, very possessive of Hans.

Favorite Things: Hans, the Bullet pen, note pad, 'charging kiss' and FAMAS as well as her outfit… in that order.

Killionaire's OC:

Name: Kusanagi Naomi

Nickname/Codename: Oracle

Faction: The Guild

Age at Death/Time in Afterlife: 17/1

Gender: Female

Build: Busty, Petite

Appearance: Naomi appears very serious with her thigh length hair and piercing black eyes. She has the body of a supermodel.

Skills and Abilities: Naomi has the ability to tell everything about a person form a single glance. She uses these abilities to make weapons unique to that person's nature. She is also an extremely skilled technician and has made non-existent items actually functional (Example: She has made grenades that hinder the "Distortion" Guard Skill and force the enemy on the offensive.) Some of the weapons she made she keeps for herself, like an RPG, ACR with Grenade Launcher, and a special Katana.

Weapons: RPG, ACR/GL, Katana

Regrets/Death: Not being able to follow her dream.

Brief summary of life: Due to her attractive appearance, Naomi was pushed into modeling and has been pushed into numerous competitions and beauty pageants. However, her true passion was inventing. She was fascinated by taking things apart and putting them together. However, her parents forbade her from taking this hobby and continued to doll her up and put her on stage. She died in a plane crash that was on its war to Paris for a pageant she didn't even want to go to.

Personality: Naomi is brash and at sometimes a bit harsh. However she is always thoughtful of others and shows it through actions. She has a strange relationship with Toki, claiming he's the only person she can't figure out no matter how much she studies him. She is also jealous of Hideki Seiko because of his crush on her, but she likes the fact he isn't shallow enough to drool over her just because she's attractive.

Quirky Behavior: Accompanies Toki everywhere claiming she's only studying him. As a Guild leader, she calls a lot of shots in the underground Guild. She has devised all the new and foolproof Guild traps. She is currently working on a top secret project that could never be completed in the real world.

Favorite Things: Inventions, the Guild, Toki.
