u/Pyro81300

Name: Luna Key

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Species: PSY Android

Height: 180 cm

Weight: 110 kg

Skin Color: Extremely pale, like albinism

Hair Color: White like albinism

Eye Color: White

Occupation: ‘Ace Pilot’ of the PSY Collective

Home Planet: PSY Colony 214

An Android created for the purpose of military use.  After her older brother left the army and disappeared when she was 8, she would eventually take his place as a candidate for Ace Pilot. Enlisted at the age of 12, she would gain the right to pilot a Psyren after three months of training. Eventually, she would fall in love with Elfei Heros, the then Ace Pilot. Only for him to be killed in the final battle of the 2nd IGF and PSY War. 

Now the current Ace Pilot, she carries many heavy burdens on her shoulders. She pilots ‘The Astra’, the most technologically advanced Psyren the Collective has ever created. And a galactic threat in its own right. While abrasive and riddled with regrets, she is amicable once one gets to know her. And despite having grown from a simple soldier to a far more well-rounded and expressive being, she often finds herself stuck in the past. Many speculate she has entered Ultima Arena for either political reasons or to gain a means of revenge against the IGF. But in truth, it is something far more personal than that.

Name: Ophelia Nox

Gender: Female

Age: 330

Species: Celestial

Height: 173 cm

Weight: 68 kg

Skin Color: Purple, almost black. Semitransparent

Hair Color: Purple

Eye Color: Black sclera with pink irises

Occupation: Head of the Nox Family, girlboss (according to her)

Home Planet: Technically none, regularly moves around to avoid authorities

There are innumerable criminals in the universe. But it is rare to find one as infamous as Ophelia Nox. Celestials have a knack for rift Ultima (think wormholes, portals, etc.), and she is a master of it. If you need something sent somewhere, she’s your woman. Inheriting the position of “Head” of the Nox Family some 300 years ago, she has built herself a criminal empire specialized in transporting illegal goods through her complex rift system. Many an IGF Enforcer have been sent after her, and she has almost always escaped. And when escape isn’t an option, the Enforcer’s death was an inevitability. 

She acts like a diva, but tends to play up the part. She can be strangely down to earth outside of business. A bit flirty to everyone, and can be a good conversationalist no matter who she’s with. Just as long as one makes sure to not get on her bad side. In work, she’s ruthlessly pragmatic and intends to get whatever job she’s hired for done well and within good time. Her fighting style is a mix of Taekwondo and Kickboxing. But she has plenty of other tricks hidden.

Name: Ryuji Soma

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Species: Dragon, Hybrid Elemental

Height: 207 cm

Weight: 123 kg

Skin Color: Silver, scaly

Hair Color: N/A, though he's fashioned his spikes to look like hair

Eye Color: Yellow, almost golden

Occupation: Writer and artist of ‘The Children of Aon’

Home Planet: C142 in the Olascos Galaxy

An unusual fighter. Son of Ryuga Soma, a now retired, legendary Enforcer and Electric Elemental, his son has taken a very different approach to life. Becoming a famous comic artist with a work read by trillions across the universe. His mother passed away when he was very young, so he was primarily raised by his father and hired hands. The young dragon had clearly inherited the electric capabilities of his father’s, but rumors abound his mother was an Elemental as well. But of what type, no one knows. He is an agile striker pulling from three different styles primarily to make his own speedy, custom style. 

Despite dressing loudly and a perhaps over indulgence in profanity, stories by various beings characterize him as humble, cordial, and grounded. He’s excellent at networking, and has made many connections and good friends over the years. He started and self-published ‘The Children of Aon’ at the age of 14, and has rapidly grown a massive fan base over the years. Though, sharper fans have noticed in interviews he’s always avoided answering certain questions. A celebrity that is incredibly outgoing, and yet still has an air of mystery to him. Why exactly has he entered Ultima Arena, and what does it hold for his future?

Name: Airy Everheart

Gender: Female

Age: 13

Species: 4th Stage Wind Elemental

Height: 142 cm

Weight: 62 kg

Skin Color: Pale white

Hair Color: Light Blue

Eye Color: Pink

Occupation: None, beyond assisting Leon as a sidekick of sorts.

Home Planet: None, found in the Kvuv Android Belt, travels with Leon

Leon, “The Golden Knight”, found her at birth and adopted her as his own. She has an unnaturally high amount of power, blowing apart multiple massive asteroids in a belt just from being born. Raised to control her strong power from a young age, she received an unorthodox but thorough education. She was a prodigy in learning how to control her abilities as well, developing a deadly throw and a variety of techniques. Leon taught her a mix of Judo and Silat, feeling it would best suit her abilities.

Growing up, she would accompany Leon on his travels and would sometimes be left in the temporary care of a few close friends or allies across the universe. She grew up being very independent wanting to be her own person. Despite her rebellious, immature nature and sometimes harsh tongue, she loves her father deeply, and she almost broke down once when she mistakenly thought he had been fatally wounded. And she is more privy to his secrets than he knows. After that incident, she started to work alongside Leon “protecting him”, even though it often felt like he was the one protecting her. She takes after her father, fighting with a massive sword accompanied by a slightly less big scythe. She is the youngest fighter fighting in Ultima Arena this year, but she very well could end up one of the strongest as well.

Name: Noah Sprout

Gender: Male

Age: 15, nearly 16

Species: Mostly human, with some Insecta.

Height: 155 cm

Weight: 53 kg

Skin Color: Black

Hair Color: Blonde

Eye Color: Red

Occupation: Mechanic and Researcher

Home Planet: Bastrop in Quadrant 3 of the PSY Collective

Growing up in the PSY Collective, Noah had a wealth of advanced technology at his disposal. Born to an Insecta dancer/performer and a genius mechanic Pureblood Human father, he partially retained the dragonfly-like eyes and wings of his mother, and inherited the smarts of his father. Growing up in the aftermath of the 2nd IGF and PSY War, by the age of 4 he was already heavily interested in technology behind various mecha and weapons. He also gained an interest in dancing from his mother, and she taught him a unique fusion style of Taekkyeon and Tricking. He calls it Bastral based on his home planet and Luna’s mech "The Astra".

Noah encountered Luna Key, “The Mech of Possibility”, five years before the events of the story at the age of 10, and saved her from some bandits. Forming an unlikely bond, Luna hired him as her mechanic and the two formed a sibling-like bond. He enhanced his skills over the years, and has published several papers as a researcher into various Ultima. Noah is analytical, kind, and fairly relaxed. In battle, he heavily relies on his collection of unique guns, his “Sol Six”, PSY tech, bluffs, and misdirecting his opponent.

Name: Lilith Cross

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Species: Pureblood Human

Height: 188 cm

Weight: 96 kg

Skin Color: White

Hair Color: Violet

Eye Color: Yellow

Occupation: Underground Fighter

Home Planet: Clestia, Tempora Galaxy

Born in the Cross Orphanage, Lilith stood out being almost a 100% pureblood human. A rarity in the universe. Despite being the odd one out, she was taught to be kind and compassionate to others and often helps out with various errands or tasks. She is very outgoing, social, and is friends with everyone at the Orphanage. Even after becoming an adult, she still regularly helps out at the orphanage. She has a strong sense of morals, and is not afraid to act recklessly. She tries to actively be friendly to others, and rarely gets seriously mad. But underneath her kind nature lies a violence tied to her past. She loves fighting, but those that know her well aren’t ever sure if it’s a genuine love or something more twisted.

At the age of six, she became interested in martial arts after seeing some public matches. Perhaps even rarer than being a Pureblood was her natural talent for martial arts and an incredibly durable body with the potential to learn just about any move or technique she put her mind too. Due to finding out a certain truth about her past, she entered into the ring as a professional wrestler at the young age of 13. And she began to work her way into underground fighting from there. Despite her young age, she developed a unique style of Kudo combined with Professional Wrestling making her a terrifying all-rounder. She would use her winnings to support the Cross Orphanage or donate the funds to those in need. Now in her early 20s, she stands on the grand stage of Ultima Arena wanting to reach new heights.

Name: Xiao Qing

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Species: Half-Serpentine

Height: 161 cm

Weight: 52 kg

Skin Color: Blue, scaly

Hair Color: Blue

Eye Color: Red

Occupation: Martial Arts Instructor

Home Planet: Awanyu, Arayas Galaxy

Born as the descendant of a long line of martial artists to a family of four, she was taught from a young age a variety of styles. Her family are among some of the most powerful fighters on her home planet, but unfortunately she found herself lagging behind. Being the youngest of the four, her two elder brothers had far more experience and natural talent for martial arts awarding her an inferiority complex. While polite and respectful for the most part, she has a short temper in regard to anyone underestimating her. 

She teaches the next generation how to defend themselves like her siblings at a local dojo, sometimes wondering if she’s still a student herself. In her free time, she enjoys learning about other topics and has a surprisingly wide knowledge of science, history, and cultures. Enough so, she could be a teacher, if she wished.

I'll also say for the record the fighters use a mix of martial arts, weapons, and special powers that are called "Ultima".

E: Btw just as a heads-up this is a novel and not a comic. But also once y'all see art for the designs, you'll see why. These designs would fucking kill an artist to draw repeatedly lol.
