ZUSAMMEN - A band composed of (mostly) androids, originally from Germany, who are currently in New York City on tour. In DEATH REPORT, it’s made clear that not all is as it seems with the androids...

Katz Chen - They/them - Android

The current lead singer and keytarist of the android band ZUSAMMEN.

Guitarist and backup vocalist for ZUSAMMEN.

Voiced by VOCALOID DAINA

Renata - They/them - Android

Bassist for ZUSAMMEN.

Voiced by…?

Cavell Henschen - He/him - Human

Drummer for ZUSAMMEN.

Voiced by…?

Mateo Sanchez - He/him - Human 

A robotics engineer and ZUSAMMEN’s producer.

Not much is known about him yet, but he features prominently in DEATH REPORT.

Voiced by…?

DARKBOLT - He/him - Human

Again, not much is known about him yet, but he is the current songwriter for ZUSAMMEN.

Voiced by…?

The Lonesome Division - The Japanese division of a certain unknown organization, so named because they have so few members and are disconnected from the rest of the organization. They’re in NYC to investigate strange happenings surrounding the ZUSAMMEN concerts.

Takashi Saitou - They/them - Human

The “leader” of the Lonesome Division, by virtue of being the oldest.

Their aberration means that when they’re nearby, anything that can go wrong will go wrong, unless they specifically think about it. A lot of their headspace is taken up by considering all the possible ways that any given situation could go badly.

Kagami Hana - She/her or they/them - Human

The resident technology expert of the Lonesome Division, who built a ghost detection machine by herself.

Her understanding of technology means that although she doesn’t have an aberration (ability), she’s still able to keep up with her teammates.

Voiced by VOCALOID Yukari Yuzuki

Ayu Kunikida - He/him - Human

The “dad friend” of the Lonesome Division, though he’s not the oldest.

His aberration is that he’s able to turn invisible and visible at will, though sometimes he tends to forget which state he’s in, and he sometimes turns invisible without meaning to. 

Voiced by YOHIOloid

Ton Siegel - He/him - Android

Former lead singer of ZUSAMMEN.

Also worked at a diner called Thermopolis, which is how he met the Division.

As of WELCOME TO THE (LONESOME) DIVISION, he’s now a member of the Lonesome Division (and quit his job, without needing much encouragement.)

Despite the fact that he’s an android, he seems to be able to experience emotions.

SHIRONEKO - She/her - Human

The “old commander” mentioned by Takashi in WELCOME TO THE DIVISION.

Not much is clear about her yet.

Voiced by…?

The Hellhounds - A biker gang based in New York City, who seem to be fearsome… Or maybe Ton is just afraid of them. Their leader is Dice, who mostly uses her (admittedly haunted) bike for pizza delivery, so…

Dice - She/her - Human

The current leader of a biker gang called the Hellhounds.

Her bike is, as said by Iskra in OUR LUCKY DAY, haunted.

This aside, she moonlights as a pizza delivery driver, and Domino is her younger brother.

She also appears prominently alongside her partner Jun in Fade to Sky.

Voiced by…?

??? - Characters with unknown or unclear allegiances.

Elke Greene - He/him - Human

A government spy, who used to write ZUSAMMEN’s songs.

Having been sent to New York to investigate ZUSAMMEN’s re-emergence, he ran into his partner, Mateo, who by all accounts should not be alive.

Voiced by VOCALOID DEX

Iskra - She/her - Human

Encounters with this girl always seem to result in somebody screaming.

All she wants to do is hang out with her best friend, hunt cryptids, and protect the city.

Voiced by VOCALOID Rin Kagamine

Domino - He/him - Human

Dice’s little brother, Iskra’s best friend.

Despite being called “lucky”, he often feels like everything goes in exactly the way he doesn’t want it to go. 

Voiced by VOCALOID Len Kagamine

Jun Zhang - They/them - Human

A spirit medium who received their aberration following the accidental “death” of both of their parents, and is now able to perceive and interact with both natural and human spirits. 

Voiced by…?

Lucas - He/him - Human (Ghost)

A ghost aberration bearer who appears alongside Jun in Fade to Sky. Perhaps over time his story will become better understood…?
