Psyren Wise

[Ogier Dudley]

The Psyren Drifters are anybody who has been put in Nemesis Q's game and is currently exploring the wasteland in order to figure out the cause and prevent it from happening. This group only lists current Drifters and Nemesis Q. Former Drifters include Matsuri, Usui, and Miyake.

The main character, Ageha is an Ordinary High-School Student who runs a business where he helps people for a small fee. He lives with his sister, though his father comes around every now and then. Their mother died a few years back though. Ageha finds his way into Psyren after trying to help fellow classmate Sakurako, and unlocks his latent psychic power after surviving his first round. Nemesis Q seems to have a special interest in him.Tropes associated with Ageha:

• Awesome, but Impractical: Melchsee's door. The raw version destroys absolutely everything, including allies. The Lance and Splash forms have the same problem, though with the former it takes a strong PSI signature for that to happen, and Splash widespread damage is the intent. Disc is only good at close range, and Sphere puts massive amounts of stress on him.
• Awesome by Analysis: Most of his techniques have been thought up on the spot to suit the situation perfectly.
• Bully Hunter: Back when he was in school.
• Childhood Friend Romance: With Amamiya.
• Cooldown Hug: To Amamiya when her Superpowered Evil Side tries to kill him.
• Cursed with Awesome: Ageha's Melchsee's door is a weapon of pure destruction that works based on the user's emotions, which is a really bad thing for PSI to be based on. The last recorded person with this power went crazy. He seems to be doing fine, and is steadily gaining more and more control over it. After defeating Miroku, he gains perfect control over it.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Ageha's signature burst is jet black, and this attribute is so unique that it becomes his calling card to the W.I.S.E.
• 11th-Hour Superpower: Most of Ageha's door variants have been created at the last second, or thought out but not really tested. Subverted in that because of this he really doesn't realize the weaknesses of them until it's too late.
• Even the Guys Want Him: Oboro likes him a lot.
• The Hero: Of the Psyren Drifters.
• Luminescent Blush: Takes this up to eleven by having his entire face, his ears, and his neck blushing so much he looks Ambiguously Brown.
• Meaningful Name: Ageha is a type of butterfly, a throwback to the Butterfly of Doom, changing the future through actions in the present.
• One-Winged Angel: Enters one of these in Nova.
• Ordinary High-School Student: At least before his PSI training.
• Talking the Monster to Death: Defeats Miroku in the present by basically overloading him with memories from Psyren, from his own experience and #07's.
• Sphere of Destruction: The uncontrolled form of Melchsee's Door.
• Super Mode: Nova. It causes him to manifest a One-Winged Angel form called "Raging King".
• Superpower Lottery: Melchsee's Door is an Anti-PSI power... in a story where everyone has it. He even defeats the Big Bad with ease, due to the fact that the power is extremely effective against Psi in general which Future-Miroku is made of.
• Swiss-Army Superpower: His power itself is this after learning to program it.
• Melchsee's Sphere : Releases branches that home in one any PSI signature, piercing them and sucking them dry.
• Melchesse's Lance: An energy beam that homes in on a target and pierced them from afar.
• Disc: Both a shield, and a cutting implement at close range.
• Splash: Which is equivalent to baseball-sized shrapnel flying everywhere.
• Nova Form: His emotion-fueled PSI is forced its logical extreme, wearing it as an armor, having several halos over him, and multiple raw doors floating around him.

• Action Girl: The most prominent in the series.
• Affectionate Nickname: Kabuto refers to her as "Bunny".
• Break the Cutie: Psyren has that effect on people.
• Childhood Friend Romance: With Ageha.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Over the course of the series she slowly comes out of her shell and warms up to Ageha and the others.
• Enemy Within: Abyss.
• Which eventually becomes an Enemy Without, but then they have a Split-Personality Merge and decide to share the body and dominance over it.
• Luminescent Blush: After Ageha learns that she is in love with him she goes really Moe and keeps this for a chapter or so while interacting with him.
• Katanas Are Just Better: She's proficient in wielding several different weapons, but it's a cursed katana that gives her the special power of revealing her true self.
• The Lancer: She acts as Ageha's second when in Psyren.
• Literal Split Personality: Learns to fight alongside Abyss after mastering Nova and the use of her new sword.
• Master of Illusion: As a result of her skill with Trance.
• Multi-Melee Master: During the course of the series she's seen using swords, kusarigama, tonfa, knives and some sort of axe-like weapon. A picture from a flashback implies she's adept at using many other melee weapons such as spears, axes and clubs.
• Parental Abandonment: Her mother basically abandoned her, while her father only sends money to support her living alone.
• Personality Powers: Normal Sakurako, who's stoic and reserved, is a Rise/Trance specialist. Abyss, who's slightly unhinged, is a Burst/Rise specialist.
• Psycho Party Member: Sakurako is infamously crazy and prone to violence.
• Sinister Scythe: Her Trance takes the form of a scythe in the group's third journey. Subverted in that it doesn't slice, but causes Mind Rape. When Abyss is in charge, the Wired Mind Jacks are turned into black sickles on cables.
• The Stoic: She's initially an "Ice Queen," though she gets better over time.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Which isnt really evil or much more superpowered than she is.
• Super Mode: Nova. It lets her fight together with her other half "Abyss" while enhancing the abilities of both.
• Took a Level in Badass: Psyren has this effect on people, too.
• Yandere: Mainly Abyss, but then again Sakurako is normally so repressed... Also, one of her techniques is called Peeping Lover.

Also known as "Dragon" Asaga, Hiryuu went to elementary school with Ageha, who bullied him for being a cry-baby. Eventually he became bigger than Ageha, and they went to different schools. They meet again in Psyren, and after their first round he learns PSI quicker than Ageha does. He acts as Ageha's Lancer and the Ego in their original Trio. He eventually becomes The Big Guy when Oboro and Kabuto arrive. Matsuri, who is worried about Ageha and Oboro going mad with their power, tells Hiryuu that he is the only one who could stop either of them should the worst happen.Tropes associated with Hiryuu:

• Ambiguously Bi: Played up as Ageha's potential rival in love in a Love Triangle with Ageha and Sakurako in earlier chapters, but his relationship with Tatsuo is interesting, to say the least. It plays out very much like a Childhood Friend Romance.
• Big Damn Heroes: Team Dragon saving the day.
• The Beastmaster: The final progression of his power is to conjure a spectral dragon out of pure PSI that he can ride.
• The Big Guy: Of the group, he fills this role.
• Bully Hunter: Because one growing up, partly to inspire Tatsuo.
• Hero of Another Story: Spends a lot of his time in the future, doing his own work separate from the main group, and is not seen in the manga for a long period. He also doesn't participate in the last battle for the Promised Tears.
• Left for Dead: Survives, naturally.
• Made of Iron: Having survived falling from the stratosphere, this easily applies.
• Mighty Glacier: His Rise powers are more suited for strength, endurance and defense than speed and senses.
• Meaningful Name: Hiryuu's (literally "flying dragon")Burst manifests in the form of dragon wings and a dragon tail.
• The Worf Effect: One of the main victims.

"We've only just met today! Must you end your life here?! Unacceptable! I won't allow you to! My life as Mochizuki Oboro is just getting interesting. To protect that life, I need every piece, not lacking a single one!"

• The Ace: Though not as hammy as is normally seen, Oboro has the ability to master PSI abilities with almost no effort.
• Awesome by Analysis: Most of his greatest feats are from watching/experiencing something, such as how he became capable of using Cure and Rise by observing them.
• BFS: He gains a massive club as Odo.
• Emergency Transformation: Self-inflicted, into a Tavoo
• Harmful Healing: His Biological Ruin, in a nutshell. On a Taboo, it's instant Body Horror.
• Intimate Healing: Through hugging.
• It's All About Me: He's got a big ego, and most of his acts are cases of It Amused Me.
• Left for Dead: Oboro receives a mortal wound to the chest and then is teleported to a dumping ground for dead Tavoo.
• The Medic: After he awakens his "Cure" ability.
• Combat Medic: Unlike the other healers, he fights willingly.
• The Mole: Oboro joins the W.I.S.E. Organization as Odo in order to help foil their plans.
• Teen Idol: This is his occupation before he joins the adventures in Psyren. (Sort of. He's actually 21.)
• Took a Level in Badass: After incorporating multiple Tavoo cores.
• The Worf Effect: After showing off his amazing new powers and scoring a series of flawless victories against Delboro and Caprico, he's promptly took out of commision by Grana.

"And besides, ain't running away the perfect solution to staying out of trouble? Escaping all the bad stuff is a great way to live! Plus, it would get rid of all the fighting, y'know? That's how I make peace."
