Characters from Ergo Proxy include:

Vincent Law

Voiced by Koji Yusa (JP), Liam O'Brien (EN)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Amnesiac God
Anti-Hero: He starts off as a weak-willed, low-status immigrant just trying to make good for himself.
Badass Creed: Are the last lines of the series, but damn - it's a badass way to close a series.

Vincent: " I am Ergo Proxy - the agent of death."

Become a Real Boy: Like Pino in this respect and also why he hopefully will also survive on contact with sunlight.
The Chosen One: Hoody said that Vincent was this to the rest of the commune dwellers when they started to suspect him. Then it ended up sort of being true...
Determinator
Doom Magnet: Well, he is the agent of death.
Eyes Always Shut: Starts out this way, but they open after he becomes less meek.
Eyes of Gold or Green Eyes: It's hard to tell which of these he has.
Fan Service Pack: Over the course of the series, he gets better looking and even seems to grow several inches taller.
Horrifying Hero
The Kirk
Jekyll and Hyde: Initially, Ergo Proxy comes across as his Super-Powered Evil Side and is a distinct entity from the meek Vincent.
Lawful Good --> Chaotic Good
Nice Guy
Papa Wolf: Do NOT mess with Pino. Seriously, don't.
Split Personality Merge: Something like this at the end of the series as he finally has both Ergo Proxy's powers and Vincent's morality
Took a Level in Badass: Several, even!

Re-L Meyer

Voiced by Rie Saito (JP), Karen Thompson (EN)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Action Girl
Anti-Hero: She's a bit cold emotionally and has a definite mean streak, but there's no question she's one of the good guys.
Badass Longcoat: Arguably subverted; despite her competence at her job, she's nowhere near as badass as she presents herself, a fact that becomes apparent after leaving Romdeau; this is bitterly lampshaded by Iggy after his contracting the Cogito virus, where he calls her out on acting like a badass government agent when she's really kind of a spoiled brat. Just how accurate this is is ambiguous, however; it could just be the rantings of a wounded friend taken for granted for too long. And despite all that, she still remains tough as nails throughout ensuing events.
The Comically Serious
Deadpan Snarker
Defrosting Ice Queen: Hell of a slow thaw, though.
Good Is Not Nice
Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Everyone else has normal skin tones, whereas Re-l is straight black and white.
Emotionless Girl
Goth: She's something of a snarky, gloomy goth, dressing in all black and wearing lots of eyeshadow.
Intelligence Equals Isolation: She chafes at Romdeau, where much of the human population are so coddled and helpless that they're effectively automata.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold
Ms. Fanservice: Subtler than most, but still, whenever she's working out
The Spock
Super OCD: It's been speculated that Re-l might have OCD, judging from the way she conducted an earlier investigation of Vincent's room (she lined up a cup on a stand in the mirror image of another) and the way that she behaved in episode 16. However, the former case could be the result of years of strict government training and the latter a result of Cabin Fever.
True Neutral
Tsundere or Sugar and Ice Personality
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Judging from some old videos from Daedalus, Re-l seemed to be pretty cheerful growing up. Then she just became... gloomy.
"Well Done, Granddaughter" Chick: In the end, Re-l just wants her grandfather's love and recognition.
When She Smiles: At the end of episode 16, upon seeing Re-l give a true smile, Vincent is seen blushing.

Pino

Voiced by Akiko Hajima (JP), Rachel Hirschfeld (EN)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Become A Real Girl: See Meaningful Name. It's kind of implied that this does happen in a literal sense, and it's necessary for the series to have a happy ending of any kind as otherwise, she'd be killed by ultraviolet light like all autoreives.
Creepy Child: Before Character Development.
The McCoy
Moe
Meaningful Name: She shares a name with Pino of Black Jack, and for both of them the name alludes to Pinocchio and their status as an artificial child.
Neutral Good
Robot Girl
