A detective from the Seventh Republic who had a hard time taking his work seriously for the past ten years, ever since he lost his mentor in the Cult Massacre. Because of this, he works in Section 13, also known as "Sideliners", where all the problematic detectives gather. On the surface he is a laidback detective, but behind the scenes he obsesses himself with a certain personal vendetta. One year ago, he was forced to partner up with the rookie cop Claris, and in the course of their investigations together he reencountered the A-class criminal known as Linda. Recently, he's been moving independently of Claris more often... His abilities are ice-based and too powerful for him to fully control. He keeps them repressed most of the time.

The beautiful sole employee of the café Love & Peace. Although Ruka finds her very attractive, he is hardly the only one; half the police force seems to be after her. Given how many police officers she chats with in the course of her work, she is surprisingly well-informed about internal NPA affairs.

An officer in Ikuta's 1st Division, strong-willed, but formal and restrained. She hates Ruka for being so familiar with Ikuta, despite the difference in their ranks and Ruka's station as a lowly sideliner.

A naive and inexperienced, but very motivated, fresh-faced rookie elf assigned to the 13th Division. After a year on the job, she has begun to develop a hint of competence. Unfortunately it's still just a hint at this stage, and she slips up in minor but important ways. She possesses the common power of elves, an ability to control the wind that excels in mobility and defense.

♀ f

A keeper who wields powerful flames. This ability, combined with her investigative chops, has brought her to the considerable rank of Commissioner in a somewhat chauvinistic police agency. She's been following Ruka's activities with interest as he pursues the Cult from the shadows.

A dangerous Keeper with a power that allows her to control the young minds of children. More than ten years ago, she led a gang of child thieves called the Luiz, and it was in that capacity that she first crossed paths with a younger Ruka. Now, over a decade later, she still looks much the same as she did back then. She has been assisting Ruka with his hunt for the Cult, but her true motives are still a mystery.

Ruka's roommate, who dwells secretly in his coat pocket after he saved her from wicked hands. Pixies like her are rare, and popular as household pets, which makes them targets for poachers.

Ruka's roommate, who dwells secretly in his coat pocket after he saved her from wicked hands. Pixies like her are rare, and popular as household pets, which makes them targets for poachers. She's a busybody and won't keep out of Ruka's business, but her bright cheer easily compensates. However, when Ruka gets up to things she'd rather not see, she's considerate enough to go to sleep or simply pretend not to notice.

An officer of the 13th Division, her information analysis and hacking skills are top-notch. She's so devastatingly effective, in fact, that she tends to look down on others without even thinking about it. Her partner on the force is the segitt Vars, and the two complement each other well. Due to the limited care she takes with her appearance, her eye-catchingly long hair is a bit of a mess.
