A Certain Magical Index/Characters/GROUP

An organization in the dark side of Academy City created to deal with internal affairs of the city. Introduced in Volume SS1 and Episode 23 of Season 2. There are four other groups that are each commanded by someone else for the same purposes. They don't get along and often get conflicting orders.

Tropes that apply to the team as a whole

 * Anti-Hero: Around Type III for all of them.
 * Blackmail: Each of them has something that they want to protect - something that the dark side of Academy City is willing to exploit to get them to cooperate.
 * Divided We Fall
 * Fetish: Each of them has (or is perceived to have) a rather... odd taste.
 * Accelerator the Lolicon
 * Etzali the stalker
 * Motoharu the Sis-con
 * Awaki the Shotacon exhibitionist
 * Fire-Forged Friends / Odd Friendship
 * Four-Temperament Ensemble:
 * Choleric: Accelerator

Awaki Musujime


"Voiced by: Harumi Sakurai"

She is the guide to the windowless building where Aleister Crowley resides and is a member of GROUP, forced to join when the city's Board of Directors captured her close friends and blackmailed her. Her ability is "Move Point", a ramped-up version of Kuroko's power in that she doesn't need to touch objects to teleport them. She is living with Tsukuyomi Komoe after losing to Accelerator in the Tree Diagram 'Remnant' incident.

"Awaki: “Sheesh, am I the only person in this GROUP that isn’t a pervert?”"
 * Achilles' Heel: Her teleportation is three seconds slower than Kuroko's, and she'll start coughing up blood from the strain if she teleports herself too many times in a row.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: Teleporters have to make calculations on factors like mass, volume, vector, etc. Normal scientists don't want to have to deal with it due to the 11th dimension coordinates involved.
 * Bandage Babe
 * Sarashi
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Accelerator.
 * Combat Pragmatist:
 * Evil Counterpart: To Kuroko.
 * Freudian Excuse
 * Foe Yay / Les Yay: Wait! Why is she holding Kuroko's face so tenderly?!
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Heel Face Turn: Mellows out after being "adopted" by Komoe-sensei.
 * Shotacon: If the other members of GROUP are to be believed.
 * Hypocritical Humor


 * Noodle Incident: The other GROUP members refuse to explain how they knew.
 * The Smurfette Principle
 * Stripperific
 * Superpower Lottery: The strongest Level 4 Esper shown so far, according to Word of God. She can teleport objects without even touching them and has more than twice the range and more than twenty times the haul load Kuroko does. She would have reached Level 5 had she not had... an unfortunate accident.
 * Teleportation Sickness
 * Teleporters and Transporters: Her ability, Move Point, is basically Kuroko's power ramped Up to Eleven.
 * Villainous Breakdown:

Etzali


"Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio"

An Aztec magician who was originally a member of Return of the Winged One. He was sent into Academy City to destabilize the growing Kamijou Faction, by sowing distrust into it's members. He is later defeated by Kamijou Touma himself, and later joins GROUP. -
 * Anti-Hero: Type IV after joining GROUP. In his defense, he did feel bad about the second one and the first was trying to kill him.

 * Berserk Button:
 * The Dandy
 * Deliberate Injury Gambit:
 * Heel Face Turn: Well, if you can consider GROUP to be good guys, anyway.
 * Face Stealer: His primary power. While he only needs to steal a bit of skin to effectively take on a person's appearance, killing them to prevent them from running around at the same time has its advantages.
 * Knife Nut: Wields an obsidian blade that is a replica of the Spear of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli.
 * Frickin' Laser Beams: By reflecting the light of Venus off the blade.
 * Master of Disguise
