Main Characters

Eclair is a 16-year-old girl who combines childlike innocence with a motherly tolerance, and as a C-class ES member, her ability is ``Power,'' which boasts superhuman strength and speed. She has a bright and honest personality, and hates crooked things. On the other hand, Lumiere is a thoughtful and intelligent girl who is not suitable for her age of 10, and knows Eclair better than anyone else (or even better than Eclair herself). Her catchphrase is ``Girls should be elegant,'' and she has the ability to control any electronic device as a ``Puppet.''

Merkurdi is a 13-year-old secretary in the Secretariat of the Headquarters, and is the most talented of the seven secretaries. She manages the busy Director's schedule, handles miscellaneous tasks, and handles the special tasks of the ES members, and it is rumored that her information gathering ability is comparable to Lumiere's. Armbrust is an auditor seconded to GOTT from the Space Planet Union and Union Management Committee, and is responsible for auditing the ES members. He likes sarcasm and light-hearted remarks, and his trademarks are his black bag and shallow smile, and it is difficult to know his true intentions as he operates by a unique code of conduct.

Eclipse is a mysterious woman who holds the position of Director of GOTT Headquarters, and in addition to having full command of the organization, she has the ES members as her direct working force. Eclair admires her for her graceful, calm and collected nature, and her impartial judgment. Chevalier is 56 years old and serves as both Minister of Economy for the Space Planets Union and Secretary General of GOTT. He excels in conviction, drive and perseverance, and aspires to become a politician in order to fulfill a "wish" he made as a boy. What was that "wish"?

Tweedledy is a 16-year-old S-class ES member who values ​​faith and loyalty. She uses her powers, Strom, to manipulate the flow of electrons and control electronic devices. Her partner is her fraternal twin brother, Tweedledum, whose dignified demeanor suggests he comes from a noble background. Tweedledum is Tweedledy's natural partner, and is 16 years old. Her powers include Magnetfelt, which allows her to manipulate magnetic fields, and while she worships her sister, her weakness is that she has little interest in others. The sisters work together to manifest the polymerization power Windstooth.

Anou is a 14-year-old cynical ex-mercenary who enjoys dangerous scents and mayhem. His S-class ability, "Amazing," is his super hearing that captures the flow of energy, and he can "hear" in any environment. He has a tendency to make things unnecessarily complicated. Eio is a 19-year-old pacifist who likes to use phrases that smell like incense and disciplines himself based on beliefs and justice. He has known Anou since their days as mercenaries, and his S-class ability, "Amplifier," is his super vision that allows him to "see" all energy flows.

Alv is an extremely talented S-class ES member, 20 years old. She has an excessively provocative attitude towards those around her, and has the ability ``Absorb'', which allows her to absorb power and make it her own, and as an application of this, she can also use ``Reflex'', which allows her to reflect all external power. Dwarf is a girl who always stands by Alv's side, and is 19 years old. She does not go against her will, and follows her orders as if she were a mindless doll, and her ability is ``Absorb''. It is extremely rare for two people to manifest the same ability.

Viola is the youngest C-class ES member at 9 years old, and unlike her partner, she is quite talkative. Her ability, Calamity, only manifests when she is polymerized with a Driver, allowing her to freely interfere with intermolecular forces and decompose and combine substances at a molecular level. Cesario is a handsome young man with ash gray hair who is extremely restrained from speaking, even when speaking with his partner Viola, using body language or whispering in her ear. His ability is a Driver that does not manifest its powers on its own.

Dextera is 18 years old and is the highest-ranking ES member, serving as Eclipse's trusted adviser. He has a strong mind and excellent leadership skills, and also serves as the chief of the Independent Undercover Investigation Team. His S-class ability is ``Anywhere,'' which allows him to sense and manipulate the absolute coordinates of space. Sinistra is 18 years old and has been paired with Dextera for a long time. He quietly analyzes the battle situation and assists as a staff officer, and his S-class ability ``Wenneva'' allows him to sense and manipulate the absolute coordinates of time. Although limited, he is even able to draw the ``future'' to him.

Ricky is a good friend and senior to Eclair and her friends. Her Cole family is distantly related to the Austrian family and is acquainted with Chevalier. Bonita is Ricky's colleague and best friend (and bodyguard), and she likes Ricky because he treats everyone equally, including ES members, commoners, and Nobles.
