Line 3:
=== Kurt Irving (Number 7) ===
======= Voiced by [[Yuuichi Nakamura]] in Japanese =======
A 20-year-old ex-officer banished to the Nameless for charges of treason. He now uses his time among the Nameless [[Redemption Quest|to gain back his name and redeem himself]]. His preferred classes are Shocktrooper (his starting class) and Sniper. Despite this, his special ability Direct Command allows up to two allies to move with him for free (beyond the cost of activating the ability) so he is possibly best off as a Scout to maximize how far he can drag low movement allies.
 
* [[The Ace]]: Was a top Lanseal cadet who graduated shortly before the Imperial invasion of EC 1935.
* [[Colonel Badass]]
* [[Depending on the Artist]]: His pistol changes wildly across depictions. He's shown with a 1911 (promotional art), CZ75 (character portrait), and something else entirely (animated cutscene).
* [[Do Not Go Gentle]]: While framed for treason, stripped of his name, and constantly thrown on suicide missions, Kurt remains rather collected and free of the despair most of the other Nameless exhibit at the start, choosing to instead remain professional and collected.
* [[Limit Break]]: Kurt is able to get two nearby allies to follow him and attack together while only using up his own pool of AP.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Has a talent for mixing herbs and spices in order to make eating rations more tolerable - sometimes at the entire Squad's expense, though he's generally pretty good at it.
* [[Redemption Quest]]
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Whenever he's angry, he'd cool his head off with candies.
Line 17 ⟶ 19:
=== Imca (Ace Number 1) ===
======= Voiced by [[Masumi Asano]] in Japansese. =======
A 17-year-old Darcsen from an Imperial village very near the Gallian border, armed with a rocket [[Launcher/BFS|BFS]] out for revenge against a Valkyria who destroyed her village. Her preferred classclasses isare Lancer (her starting class) and Fencer.
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Area of Effect]]: Her Open Fire special ability allows her to attack as many enemies as will fit on the screen at once.
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Badass Normal]]: Able to go toe to toe with a Valkyria in melee. Notable for being the most consistent way to kill multiple enemies with one Command Point.
* [[BFS]] / [[BFG]]: Notable for being ''both'' in the same weapon.
** What mode she uses is dependent on her class: Rocket Mode (for Lancer and Mortarer), Gun Mode (with correct burst modes for Shocktrooper, Scout, Sniper, and Engineer), and Blade Mode (Fencer and Armored Techs).
Line 26 ⟶ 29:
* [[Limit Break]]: Imca can use her weapon to target multiple enemies and launch a [[Macross Missile Massacre]].
* [[Revenge]]: Her reason for being with the Nameless.
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: She's not really ''that'' small, but that gun still [[BFG|dwarfs her considerably]].
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Her reaction upon seeing a Valkyria {{spoiler|including Riela. She nearly blow Riela's head off, but fortunately Kurt [[Shooting It Out of Their Hands|manage to shoot her BFG out of her hands]]}}.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Mushrooms?]]: She hates them very much, including non-poisonous variants.

* [[Meaningful Name]] / [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: She's called Number 13, the unlucky number.

* [[Sole Survivor]]: Of multiple squads prior to joining Squad 422.
* [[You Are Number Six|You Are Number Thirteen]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Multicolored Hair]]: Riela's case is an odd gradient of silver and red. There's an in-story reason for that.

== Squad 422 (The Nameless) ==
Gallia's penal military unit, consisting of [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|criminals, deserters and military offenders]] whose [[Unperson|names are stricken off the record]] [[You Are Number Six|and given numbers in their place]]. Expected to die for Gallia, they are sent to do Gallia's dirtiest jobs, up to and including taking on Calamity Raven, an Imperial detachment mostly made of Darcsens.
 
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The unit's number is a stealth reference to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Infantry_Regiment_<!--:442nd 28United_States29Infantry Regiment (United States)|442nd Infantry Regiment]], a Japanese-American unit who fought on the European front during WorldWarII[[World War II]] (except with the "4" in the middle digit replaced with "2"). -->

Line 248 ⟶ 253:
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]
* [[Expy]]: Of, of all people, Reimu Hakurei of ''[[Touhou]]''. It only takes a red hair bow to give her Reimu's appearance, and her "money before everything else" mindset as well as her non-chalant attitude in battle {{spoiler|while she rides the tank after Gusurg defected}} doesn't help.
