  • Major Nathan Gries

    The protagonist of this story. Having distinguished himself as a young captain, Nathan has been promoted to Major and carries out missions alongside his comrades Dante, Wolfram, and Nora. Just as he is entrusted with command of the newly established Artemisian Navy, a hero from fifty years in the past, “Adonis”, makes a sudden return.Adonis is determined to guide Artemisia to greatness. But behind the scenes, a plot begins to unfold around a mysterious device, the “Star of Artemisia”, which was entrusted to Nathan by his mentor, Lindberg. As the schemes of other nations become intertwined, Nathan finds himself ensnared in a fierce struggle of conspiracy and conflict.

  • Adonis

    A celebrated admiral from the past who mysteriously vanished following his service during The Great War. He was believed to have been lost to history, but a certain event has found him taking command of the front lines once again—this time alongside Nathan and his allies.

  • Colonel Dante Carver

    Since the war with the Kingdom of Dinolda, Dante has been a central figure in the Artemisian Armed Forces, spearheading its most critical missions. However, as he becomes entangled in political machinations and wars he never sought, his once-unshakeable loyalty begins to waver.

  • Wolfram

    The leader of the stateless mercenary group, “White Fangs”. Though she projects a calm and dispassionate demeanor, she is, in fact, a deeply compassionate person. She is driven by the ambition to create a haven for her people—a mix of war migrants and refugees—and all others seeking asylum. Despite her leadership role, she often fights alongside her troops, maintaining her reputation as a legendary sniper.

  • C.E.O. Nora Godwin

    Nora Godwin is the president and genius mechanic of Metaclyon Corporation, a company that develops and supports military units. She is usually busy pioneering new inventions or manufacturing a wide array of mechanical units—a portfolio that currently includes the development of a next-generation battleship for the Artemisia Navy. When she’s not inventing or maintaining machinery, she can be found visiting excavation sites to search for fragments of “Lost Tech”—technology that was lost during the Great War. She is constantly driven by her pursuit of undiscovered, fascinating technology.

  • POKOTA

    An automaton with the name “Pokota” inscribed on it. Its creator and original purpose are unknown, and its true identity remains a mystery—due to its refusal to let anyone examine its inner workings. Pokota appears to know Adonis, but the nature of their relationship is still unclear.

  • Lord General
    Isoroku Tsukumo

    Tsukumo is the head of the powerful Tsukumo clan, which governs a vast territory in Zipang. He serves as the military’s highest-ranking general: the Shogun. He is a leader and diplomat who shapes national policy. And he commands the strength of a warrior to back his decisions. A silent and cautious samurai who values duty and responsibility, he is nonetheless highly popular among the people.Despite his traditional roots, he holds a progressive vision for his country. He believes Zipang must end its isolationist policies, open its borders, and modernize the nation. However, many powerful figures within the country oppose his ideas. Despite the opposition, Tsukumo remains firm in his belief that the country's isolation must end—for Zipang and the world to achieve lasting peace and prosperity.

  • Kohaku Izumo

    A Shadow-Captain in the intelligence unit of the Zipanese special forces, Kohaku has served for years under the command of Lord General Tsukumo. She is a formidable operative, known for her unwavering loyalty and flawless track record in completing any given task—which has garnered her Tsukumo's profound trust. Although generally taciturn and secretive, she is a daughter of the noble House Izumo.
    Recently, the public has been abuzz with news that the prestigious House Tsukumo and House Izumo families will be joined by marriage—Tsukumo will become not only Kohaku's commander, but also her husband.

  • Kaguya Izumo

    Izumo is an unparalleled tactical mastermind and a shrewd politician. She has single-handedly raised her house to a position of great power in Zipang, but she is little known beyond Zipang's borders. As secretive as she is wily, she personally gave Kohaku her first lessons in stealth, subterfuge, and outmaneuvering opponents. Unlike Tsukumo, Izumo is quite comfortable with Zipang's seclusionist policy, and would prefer an even more isolated and culturally quarantined Zipang. She has recently made a bold statement by accepting command of the Zipanese Second Fleet, putting her military influence on par with that of Tsukumo. It seems her aspirations within Zipang's political sphere are only just coming to light.
    A Zipanese poet once described Izumo as the "Lotus of the Waves"... but since lotuses don't grow in salt water, Izumo disliked the epithet and the poet has since disappeared.

  • Josefina de Serrano

    Josefina de Serrano is the piratical leader of the newly-formed Republic of Corsario. Only she has the strength of will and clarity of vision to unite the Corsario raiders, the straggling, lawless military forces left scattered after the downfall of the former Kingdom of Corsario.
    Josefina doesn't believe in debate. She intends to execute her vision by striking where and when she pleases, always free, always strong -- the only military force that can claim to be independent of global politics.

  • Zubiya Carbajal

    Zubiya Carbajal has done it all. Armed robbery. Armed piracy. Armed jaywalking. Her brushes with the law -- car chases, boat chases, wild gunfights -- used to get in the way of her late night partying, so now she's swapped her submachine gun for something a little more potent -- a rocket launcher. As the most dazzling femme fatale to ever terrorize the waves, she knows that most enemy commanders will surrender just to get the chance to grovel at her high-heeled feet.
    She can't remember when she signed on with the Corsario pirates, but they suit her lifestyle. And there's nothing like a lightning raid for scoring a boatful of cash...

  • Aitor Echeverria

    Aitor Echeverria sees fighting like surfing. You jump on the board, catch the wave, and ride it for as long as you can before it all comes crashing down. That explains his passionate attitude towards landing operations -- his favorite kind of warfare. Aitor loves to rush into a fight and deal with the situation as it unfolds. If he's ever in doubt, he asks his best pal for advice -- his pooch Fernando. And the answer is always "Do it!".
    Aitor's trying to forget his military career from before the collapse of the Kingdom of Corsario, but his troops still see him as their good old Colonel.
