## Members

### Official Members

#### 1. Ken Ichijouji

Ken is the central main protagonist of the series, the leader of The Resistance and the prince of friendship. Formerly introduced as the devious Digimon Emperor, Ken works hard to try and atone for his wicked acts and eventually is helped along the way by Davis Motomiya and the others. At age 15, he is one of the youngest members and is often considered the leader; often being put in the center of the group shots, and also having been deemed as Asia Ritter's personal favorite male character.

#### 2. Kyo Sohma

Kyo is cursed by the spirit of the Cat, an animal who would have been part of the Chinese Zodiac had the Rat not tricked him into missing the ceremony. An irregular member of the Zodiac, not only is Kyo discriminated against, disrespected, and has a future of confinement, he also has a true form which is a grotesque and foul-smelling monster— which he turns into when his Juzu bead bracelet is removed.

It is unclear as to whether Kyo is considered to be a royal, however, due to his marriage with Ken, it is possible that Kyo is a prince by marriage.

#### 3. Izuku Midoriya

Even though Izuku was born Quirkless, he manages to catch the attention of the legendary hero All Might, due to his innate heroism and a strong sense of justice, and has since become his close pupil, as well as a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School. All Might passed on his transferable Quirk to Izuku, making him the ninth and current holder of One For All.

Deku is one of the few members to not be a royal by blood or marriage.

#### 4. Loid Forger

Befitting of a spy, his true personality is rather cold and methodical, doing whatever it takes to complete the mission, from joining terrorist organizations to dating a target's daughter to becoming a father. However, he has a kind and caring personality that reveals itself when it comes to his new family, even at the risk of his mission.

Loid is one of the few members to not be a royal by blood or marriage. However, he has been bestowed the honor of an official member cause of his popularity and what he represents. At age 27, he is the oldest of the Crystal Princes.

#### 5. Atsushi Nakajima

Atsushi is a member of the Armed Detective Agency who possesses the ability Beast Beneath the Moonlight.

He also tends to react strongly and believe things at face value, trusting others' judgment above his own and even abandoning his own instincts. For example, when learning of the ¥7 billion bounty on his head, he became convinced that he was putting the Agency at risk. He felt intense guilt and decided to leave, believing it will keep the Agency from being targeted.

Atsushi is one of the few members to not be a royal by blood or marriage.

#### 6. Naofumi Iwatani

A former otaku and university student, Naofumi's life changed forever when he was transported to the Kingdom of Melromarc alongside three other youths, each from an alternative version of Japan. Together, these four men became the Cardinal Heroes, legendary figures who were granted access to incredible power necessary to save their new world from destruction at the hands of the Waves of Calamity. Unfortunately, Naofumi received the Legendary Shield, which gave him a disadvantage since he did not have any offensive buffs or stats. However, this turned out to be least of Naofumi's problems.

Within 72 hours of his summoning, Naofumi was betrayed by his former companion Myne Sophia (who was really Malty S. Melromarc, firstborn of King Aultcray and second princess of Melromarc). Framed for a crime he did not commit, the Shield Hero became a pariah in Melromarc, hated by almost everybody. Full of rage, Naofumi left the castle with nothing but the clothes on his back and his Legendary Shield. From there, he began a series of adventurers that would see his rise from the falsely accused criminal to the worlds savior.

#### 7. Ren Amamiya

Ren is a second-year transfer student at Shujin Academy, being placed there to continue his academics due to his ongoing probation resulting from being falsely framed for assault.

He is quiet and well-mannered, but this behavior is a profound ruse that hides the heart of a rebellious trickster. He is extremely resistant to rigid and dogmatic forms of control-based authority and order. He has received much criticism, insults, opposition and even death threats for his rebellious nature, whether it be his targets, school staff, disapproving comments left on the Phantom Aficionado Website, etc. Suguru Kamoshida calls him a "defiant piece of garbage." However, despite all this, the Phantom Thieves have also received a good deal of support.

Ren has immense kindness as he would do what he can to help people such as his Confidants. Despite how his act of kindness led him to be framed before, it doesn't deter Ren's desire to help people in need and he would step in without hesitation when seeing someone in trouble in front of him.

Ren is one of the few members to not be a royal by blood or marriage.

#### 8. Xie Lian

He is the Crown Prince of Xianle.

He was widely known throughout the Xianle nation as the beloved yet strange prince. Never showing interest in what was considered normal for a prince, he simply declared, "I want to save the common people!". Through practice, hard work, and insight beyond his years, he perfected his cultivation and ascended to the Heavens at the age of 17.

#### 9. Yukito Tsukishiro

Yukito is the humanoid alter-ego of Yue, the second and last Guardian of the fifty-four Clow/Sakura Cards and their young new mistress.

Yukito's ever present smile is evidence of his kind and gentle nature. Yukito is soft-spoken, but seems to be quite popular. He's an athlete to some extent, cooks, bakes, he's a jack of all trades. Tsukishiro is the object of both Sakura and Syaoran's adoration. He loves food and has an enormous appetite.

#### 10. Sora

He is a teenager who originates from the Destiny Islands but obtains the Keyblade, a weapon used to fight creatures known as the Heartless. In order to find their king Mickey Mouse, his allies Donald Duck and Goofy recruit him in their journey across various worlds to save them from darkness, as well as find Sora's friends.

Sora is a brave and heroic boy who is extremely loyal to his friends, valuing his friendship with them above all else. He is an optimist and has a strong sense of justice, enabling him to take charge of his group when no one else can. However, he is rather oblivious and quite childish at times, and is often quick to anger whenever he's confused. He is also quite impulsive, as he tends to jump into things without thinking them through beforehand.

Sora is one of the few members to not be a royal by blood or marriage. However, he has been bestowed the honor of an official member cause of what he represents.

#### 11. Lelouch vi Britannia

He is the Eleventh Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and the son of the 98th Emperor of Britannia, Charles zi Britannia.

Lelouch is a highly intelligent individual who is also calm, sophisticated, and arrogant due to his aristocratic upbringing. While at school, Lelouch conducts himself as a sociable, likable, and often easygoing student.

#### 12. Mamoru Chiba

Mamoru is the present-day incarnation of Prince Endymion and the civilian identity of Tuxedo Mask.

Mamoru is very protective of those he cares about, risking his life to save them. He has likely suffered from loneliness and depression his entire life, and has trauma from the death of his parents resulting in memory loss (until midway through the first season). Because of this, he seemed to be very cold-natured initially and lacked many friends. He can also be blunt, which has led to him sometimes upsetting those around him due to his harsh words.

However, Mamoru also has a good nature and while his words may seem critical, there is good intent behind them: his ultimate purpose (similar to Rei) is typically to inspire the person to better themselves.

#### 13. Jaune Arc

Jaune is a Huntsman and former student at Beacon Academy. He is the leader and one of the members of Team JNPR and a former member of Team RNJR.

Jaune begins as an outgoing, goofy, and all-around friendly person. He treats people equally and has no problems expressing himself to strangers and bonds with them easily, showing a lot of confidence. When faced with entirely new social situations, Jaune's confidence leads to bold behavior.

Jaune is shown to care for his friends and the people around him, being protective of them and having a sense of responsibility as team leader. He focuses only on his teammates' well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally, disregarding his own to ensure theirs. He steps forward when others threaten his friends, and he has proven himself unwilling to do something that may hurt those he cares about. Jaune is one of the few members to not be a royal by blood or marriage.
