The World The following is a list of the main characters from the first version of the
massively multiplayer online role-playing game The World: • is an advanced
AI that takes the form of a young girl whose white hair, skin, and garments give her a ghostly appearance. She was created by
Harald Hoerwick to be a symbol of the daughter he could have had with his deceased lover. She is the perfect AI and the spirit of
The World. Since her awakening by Tsukasa, she has been fleeing the clutches of Skeith, as witnessed by Orca, Kite, and several other fictional players. She intends to take in and collect player information by data-draining the current AI control program, Morganna. In response, Morganna intentionally keeps Aura in her sleep-like state. After Morganna's plot to keep Aura asleep by using Tsukasa in
.hack//Sign fails, Aura awakens and becomes hunted by Morganna's phases to prevent her from developing Data Drain. Aura manages to cultivate this power into an installation book, which is acquired by
Kite. Aura becomes data-drained afterward and is scattered throughout
The World. She communicates with Kite and other in-game players through corrupted emails, which leads to the defeat of most of the phases. During the final battle, Aura is scattered again and merges with Morganna to complete the Ultimate AI. She becomes an
omnipresent yet mostly silent force within
The World for some time. She later sets out to perfect herself by giving two in-game players, Shugo and Rena,
chibi versions of their avatars, Kite and Blackrose, in a contest and giving birth to another AI, Zefie. This helps Shugo reach his goal of becoming a hero. Aura's eventual disappearance causes the decline of
The World. Consequently, the CC Corp develops Project GU to recreate her. • is the main character of the first volume of the novel
.hack//AI buster and a central character in the second volume. In the fictional game, Albireo is a powerful Long Arm character who mostly keeps to himself as a solo player. Outside of the game, Albireo is Kazushi Watarai, a
system administrator and debugger for
CC Corporation. His job is to work out any glitches in the game and delete any system anomalies. He hunts vagrant AI Lycoris as part of his job, though he later meets and befriends her, unaware of her true nature. With the help of newbie player Hokuto, he helps her regain various pieces of data; when completed, Lycoris realizes that she cannot continue to exist and forces Albireo to delete her. Albireo reappears in
.hack//AI buster 2, chasing after
Tsukasa, though he soon runs into
Macha and is rendered comatose for several months. He is forced to resign from CC Corporation as he is blamed for causing the
Twilight Incident. He then meets Hokuto's player, Haruka Mizuhara, and they begin a live-in relationship. • is a female heavy blade with a tough-as-nails attitude who can be a bit full of herself at times. Clashing with Kite, she attempts to conceal that she's as new to the game as he is. They gradually warm up to each other, and Kite balances her shortcomings. She is searching for a cure for her brother, who was put in a coma by a data bug. Outside the game, she is a tennis player and high-school student named Akira Hayami. •
BT is a Wavemaster featured in
.hack//Sign. Her avatar has blonde hair and dresses in light green robes. BT focuses her attention on finding the "Key of the Twilight" and seems unconcerned with
Tsukasa's predicament. She often meets with Bear and Crim both online and in person. The name BT comes from her favorite food, a
BLT sandwich, but without the lettuce, which she hates. Outside the game, she is a former model named Machiko who works at a dispatch company in the
Tohoku region. • is a long arm featured in
.hack//Sign. His avatar is a male with spiky blue hair, a red jacket, flared red and yellow pants, and a wave symbol on his chest. Crim plays as a very happy-go-lucky character, easygoing and sociable. He enjoys testing his skills against strong opponents and is always ready to help anyone in need. He founded the Crimson Knights with Subaru, though he eventually leaves. He is very close to Subaru and knows that she is handicapped. He is a businessman outside the game and frequently makes international business trips. •
Cubia is a monster in
The World, the 'opposite side' of the mystical "Twilight Bracelet", born during its creation. It constantly attempts to prevent Kite from progressing until it is finally defeated, which results in the destruction of the bracelet.
.hack//XXXX features Cubia with a human avatar who befriends Kite. Cubia returns in
G.U. as the anti-Epitaph, with power equal to all eight Epitaph PCs. It spreads throughout the internet, causing malfunctions worldwide. •
Elk is a shy Wavemaster who only finds comfort in working with Mia, showing loyalty and concern for her as her condition worsens. He eventually accepts Kite and his companions, and they work together. In the next version of
The World, , the player behind Elk, creates the Temptress. Endrance obsessively plays the game, logging off only to sleep, and is cold towards other players while interacting with a small cat, which he believes to be the reincarnation of Mia. The cat is actually an AIDA feeding off his emotions. Haseo destroys the AIDA while fighting Endrance, who falls into a deep depression until he becomes connected to Haseo in a similar format, devoting his life to what he believes he owes. • is a quiet Long Arm and a romantic with a great love for flowers, which she shares with Kite. Though she seems mysterious, she is not part of the conspiracy that Kite is battling. Recruiting Gardenia in the game is optional; it is done by reading a message board post from her "groupies" and visiting their meeting place. She resembles the character "Mimika", whom Mimiru saw use "Ap Crystal" in the episode "Intermezzo", but, contrary to popular belief, she is not one of the three players who controlled Mimika. • is the German programmer responsible for creating
The World. He meets his unrequited love interest, Emma Wielant, at a seminar for
anthroposophy. Harald was grief-stricken when she died in a car accident, and he created a virtual daughter, Aura, as an expression of his love. His plan to use Aura to gather data on humanity goes awry when the program designed to nurture Aura, Morganna, decides to bend its own programming to stay in existence. Obsessed with completing Aura, he decides to rid himself of his physical body and become part of
The World. Morganna traps Harald and restricts him to inaccessible areas, leaving him as "The Broken Man", where he loops dialogue expressing his regrets and the error he made in creating Morganna. He eventually helps Bear and his companions get on the right path to Aura, but Morganna deletes him soon afterward. Remnants in the form of a stone tablet appear to Kite, giving him clues on how to proceed, before being destroyed by Cubia. The next version of
The World also features remnants that appear to belong to Haseo. • is a professional hacker of extraordinary skills both in and out of
The World. She plays an edited Wavemaster (magic-using) character with a white dress with purple triangular designs and hides her eyes behind a red visor. She provides help and information to some of the main characters in the storylines, though she usually works in the background. Helba's name comes from the long-lost, widely distributed text, "The 'Epitaph of Twilight'. She created the Net Slum from a disused town in the game, which serves as a sanctuary for vagrant AI, trash data, and other illegal items. It is suspected that she made a brief appearance in the second episode of
.hack//Liminality outside of the game as Kaoru Asaba, a strange woman who helped Yukichin. The information book
.hack//analysis, which compiles various information regarding characters and
The World, mentions that she is a working single mother with a little girl. • is the main character of the
.hack//Games series. He plays a Twin Blade character who is kind, considerate, and courteous to those he meets, even those who hinder his quest to save the coma victims. Kite is a close school friend of Yasuhiko, who plays online as Orca, and joined
The World to meet with him there. Soon after, Yasuhiko is placed in a coma by Skeith, and Kite receives the Twilight Bracelet from Aura, allowing him to Data Drain. Following clues set by Aura, Kite defeats the various phases and cubis, destroying the bracelet. Aura eventually gives him a new bracelet called the Dawn Bracelet. In
.hack//G.U.,
Haseo gets a message from BlackRose that indicates that she and Kite met offline and that she has feelings for him. •
Marlo plays a blademaster who has a negative personality and has difficulty showing gratitude. He was a loner until he joined up with Kite. He seems to like Kite because Kite tolerates his rotten personality. • plays a Blademaster in
The World, with the appearance of an
anthropomorphic cat with purple fur and long
rabbit-like ears. She has the strange ability to see Kite's bracelet. While she thinks of herself as a hacker with advanced skills, she is actually an incarnation of the phase, Macha. She is close to Elk because of Elk's resemblance to Tsukasa, a friend from the previous incarnation, and she is constantly searching for an item called "Aromatic Grass". As Kite defeats each phase, she loses her memory and begins to wander the root towns. As
The World becomes more corrupt, she eventually awakens as Macha the Temptress. She is destroyed and later revived by Aura. Mia is captured and killed after the
Project G.U. ( Project Roots) staff remove the Temptress data from her. After Macha was data-drained and killed, her data was reconfigured as Mia. ;
Kari Wahlgren (
.hack//Sign) • appears in
.hack//Sign. She is a 15-year-old girl who plays a female Heavy Blade, which appears as a teenage girl dressed in an armored bikini top and a short skirt, with large greaves on her legs (an outfit similar to BlackRose's). Mimiru plays a tanking character who is poor at planning and following through. Nevertheless, she has a big heart and an even bigger attitude. She meets Tsukasa and soon gains his trust and friendship. She also teams with Bear, whom she refers to as an "old man", and spends considerable time attempting to learn about his career outside of the game. She eventually meets Tsukasa outside of the game as An Shouji, and they go shopping in
Shimokita. She is an only child and has few friends. Her father works at a company that manufactures semiconductors. • is a Wavemaster character with bright pink hair and an eternally cheerful personality. She joins Kite's campaign in order to search for treasure and plays the game for recreation with no secret agenda. She is a stereotypical
noob: hopelessly enthusiastic, begging to be given rare treasures, and using many
emoticons in her messages. Near the end of the game, she goes "off-line" in order to give birth. •
Moonstone is a Twin Blade character who is obsessed with increasing his character strength. The strong, silent type, he often speaks in one-word phrases or short sentences. He has a great deal of respect for other strong characters and is the first character to send the player his address through email. • is an
AI system created by
Harald Hoerwick to oversee the birth of Aura by gathering personality data from
The World and allowing herself to be absorbed into Aura. However, Morganna attempts to stall the growth of Aura in order to prolong her own existence, resulting in many of the events in the .hack series. In
.hack//Sign, she imprisoned Tsukasa in
The World and tried to use his negative emotions to prevent Aura from waking, but she failed. She is able to bend her programming by succumbing to a paradox and eventually overcomes her programming to take on the persona of the Cursed Wave from the
Epitaph of Twilight. She exists everywhere in
The World with the exception of glitched areas; when she is damaged,
The World becomes corrupted. Unable to keep Aura sealed, Morganna tries to kill her with the Eight Phases (her creations, which contain part of her data). Morganna is merged with Aura to create the Ultimate AI. • is a twin-bladed sword with the same model as the
A-20 of
.hack//Sign. She is obsessed with gaining more power and fears that she will always be inadequate. Despite this, she has an upbeat nature and is a good teammate. Outside of the game, she is a ninth-grade student who plays
The World to gain confidence. To gain her as a party member in the game, one must read her weapon-hunt request and help her acquire a rare sword. ;
Kate Higgins (
.hack//G.U. Last Recode) •
Nuke Usagimaru is the host of a
battle-commentary show where he tries to tackle a powerful monster solo, providing humorous commentary and
physical comedy while others watch. Though his gaming attempts often result in failure, Nuke takes it in stride and is always using his past experiences to improve on future shows. Nuke acts in a flashy way even in normal situations. His closest friends in the game are Kite, whom Nuke sees as the ultimate straight man and his ideal partner, and Rachel, who acts as his editor via e-mail. Nuke's character class is "long arm," and his dress is something like that of a clown. Later, by the time of
.hack//G.U., it is implied that he and Rachel have become somewhat famous. • is a high-level male Blademaster played by a fourteen-year-old boy named Yasuhiko. Orca is given the title "Orca of the Azure Sea" after beating an event thought to be unbeatable with Balmung. Orca has been known to lend his strength to fledgling players of
The World. After having his friend Kite join the game, he is given the
Book of Twilight by Aura due to his reputation. Orca was originally meant to be the true keeper of the Twilight Bracelet, but he is Data Drained by Skeith, leaving Yasuhiko in a coma until Kite helps complete Aura. • is a heavy axeman with a huge body and a proportionally small head. Piros believes he is the true protagonist of the story and has an odd speech pattern. He involves Kite in his misadventures, which are usually the result of his naivety. Although he can be very childish at times, Piros is a graphics designer and programmer outside the game. •
Rachel is a Blademaster who is greedy and money-obsessed and is always scheming for ideas to make money in
The World. She drags Kite into helping with her schemes, which usually fail. Despite her obsession with money, Rachel does not accept anything that is low in quality. • is a player who wins a special chibi version of BlackRose's avatar in a contest developed by Aura. She originally plays as a female Blademaster named Brigit but becomes bored with
The World until she learns of the exploits of Kite and his companions. She then plays with her twin brother, Shugo, using her new character to support him in becoming a hero. The two work to reunite Aura with her daughter, Zefie. • is a Heavy Blade character modelled after a samurai, played by an American man who loves watching Japanese Samurai films and discussing their merits. He is an optional NPC and can only be found if the player reads his message board entry and helps him find a rare weapon. • is a Blademaster who is the second-in-command of the Crimson Knights under Subaru. His avatar is an edited version of the standard Crimson Knight design, with the addition of full chest and back armor plates, helmet horns, and red eyes. He possesses a strong sense of justice but is extremely naïve, and can be influenced and used as a tool. He is extremely overprotective of Subaru. Silver Knight also appears in the
.hack//Legend of the Twilight anime, where he helps Shugo until his character is deleted by the Cerulean Knights. He makes a third appearance in
.hack//Roots, where he offers Haseo his assistance after stating that he has been in a similar situation; Haseo refuses. • is a player who wins a special
chibi version of Kite's avatar in a contest developed by Aura. He originally believed that he had outgrown video games, but after winning the contest along with his twin sister Rena, the two joined
The World. He lacks planning skills and has difficulty turning down the requests of others. Aura gives him a version of Kite's Twilight Bracelet that does not harm humans. Aura's plan is to motivate Shugo by allowing him to be a hero after meeting and talking to him using another player's character in the past. • ,also known as Skeith the Terror of Death, is the first phase that Morganna creates. He absorbs Sora using Data Drain and is then sent to find Aura. His
avatar appears as a humanoid seemingly made of rounded rock with floating disjointed appendages and a two-piece ring-shaped horn. Skeith carries a red staff, upon which he 'hangs' (similar to crucifixion) his victims prior to data-draining them. He resides in an amnesic Sora until Aura is found. Skeith seals Sora within his staff and drains Orca, which places Yasuhiko in a coma. Kite later fights and defeats Skeith. Skeith is recreated with the other phases as part of CC Corporation's plan to reconstruct Morganna, though the plan backfires. Based on Sora's condition, the corporation gave him the ability to fuse with players. The seven phases absorb the consciousness of their players and escape into the network. (The seventh, Tarvos, had already been stolen and hidden halfway through the plan), where they waited for the right person to "connect to". Skeith eventually becomes part of Haseo, a new character created by the player of Sora, from whom Skeith had his data drained. Haseo can use Skeith to data drain opponents. • is a Twin Blade player-killer who seeks out attractive female characters and attempts to obtain their addresses. Outside of the game, he is Ryou Misaki, a 10-year-old fourth-grade student. He interacts with Mimiru, who finds him to be a nuisance, and BT, who exchanges information with Sora and is often on the receiving end of his player-killer activities. Sora searches for interesting activities, which leads him to Tsukasa and the Key of the Twilight, Aura. He eventually comes into contact with Morganna and works with her until he becomes bored. She has Skeith Data Drain absorb him, causing Misaki to fall into a coma. Skeith uses Sora's avatar, which is covered in rags and has no memory of past events, to track down Aura. After waking from her coma, Ryo Sakuma, the player behind Bear, becomes Shouji's legal guardian and allowing her to go to a boarding school. She meets with Mariko, Subaru's player, and the two begin an offline friendship. •
Wiseman is a wavemaster with a calm and collective attitude and an excellent perspective on business. He is greedy like Rachel, but he shows it indirectly, and his attitude causes people to think that he is holding back information. Outside of the game, he is Takumi Hino, a ten-year-old boy who enjoys collecting trading cards and playing soccer. • is a vagrant
AI and Aura's daughter. She is separated from Aura and becomes attached to Shugo when she smells Aura's scent on his bracelet. She always vies for Shugo's affections and is rude to all who try to stop her. She can control
The World and avatar appearances however she sees fit. At first, Zefie is selfish, spoiled, and rude, but she matures through her interactions with Shugo and Rena.
The World R:2 The following is a list of the main characters from the second version of
The World. • is an Adept Rogue "player killer killer" and the main protagonist of the
.hack//G.U. video game series and the
.hack//Roots anime series. He is hunted by player killers (PKs) upon entering the game until he joins Ovan of the Twilight Brigade. Ovan eventually disappears, and Haseo's friend Shino is placed into a coma by Tri-Edge. Haseo attempts to find power, which leads him to Harald, who gives him power. He eventually tries to face Tri-Edge, though he is completely reset after being data drained. Haseo agrees to assist Yata and Pi, two system administrators of
The World R:2, in their efforts to discover the reason behind recent attacks on players and a sudden increase in
AIDA activity. Haseo gains an avatar named
Skeith by awakening him, acquiring the ability to call Skeith and wield his abilities. Outside of the game, he is Ryou Misaki, a social outcast who played the PK character Sora in the original series
.hack//Games until he was placed into a coma by Skeith and awoke with amnesia. During the story, he matures, enjoys the company of others, and seeks to protect everyone. However, in
.hack//LINK, during Tokio's journey in the 2017 timeline, Haseo declined Shino's invitation to rebuild the Twilight Brigade. ;
Andrew Francis (
.hack//Roots) •
Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly, shortened to
AIDA, is described as a
bug or
virus, thought to have come from the disappearance of
Aura, and defies all system parameters in
The World. AIDA afflicts players in the
.hack//G.U. series by attacking them and causing them to gradually become insane or for their physical bodies to fall into comas. The eight Epitaph users are partially immune to these effects and fight AIDA. The bad, viral instances of AIDA are deleted at the end of the game series, though it is stated that good instances exist and try to exist happily. AIDA may only be stopped by the Epitaph users' ability to "data drain", an illegal program originally given to Kite by Aura that CC Corp believes also causes AIDA. •
Alkaid is a female Twin Blade known as the "Former Emperor of the Demon Palace". She is part of Icolo's guild and takes part in the arena battles. She fights with Haseo after an argument and loses when Skeith fights for Haseo, thinking him a cheater. She later teams up with Haseo to enter the Holy Palace tournament to see Sirius.

Alkaid. • is a Harvest Cleric, a pacifist, and a member of the Moon Tree guild. She has feelings for Haseo, which he initially reciprocates due to her avatar's similarity to Shino. She is later revealed to be an Epitaph user. At the end of the
.hack//G.U. trilogy, she is heartbroken in the belief that Haseo has reunited with Shino and is surprised when Haseo runs to her. Outside the game, she is Chigusa Kusaka, a 16-year-old girl who lives in the
Chiba Prefecture. During middle school she was bullied frequently by her fellow students and treated poorly by her parents, who would often criticize her for her loud and noisy attitude as well as her poor grades and her desire to wear designer clothing. This led her to attempt suicide on more than one occasion, attributed by several cut marks on her left wrist. It was while browsing on several suicide forums that she met Sakaki who suggested she join in playing The World R2. •
Azure Kite, a.k.a. Azure Flame Kite, from Kite of the Azure Flame, is a Twin Blade-type character who resembles a corrupted, stitched-together version of
Kite. He is mute, carries two triple-edged blades known as the Empty Skies, has access to the Data Drain skill, and can fast-travel after turning into a blue light. He is an AI created by Aura that exists to destroy computer viruses and AIDA.

Endrance is a mature version of Elk and an Epitaph user who controls Macha. He is the Emperor of the Demon Palace and is one of the most beautiful and mysterious characters in the game, with many fans.

Outside the game, he is a 20-year-old
hikikomori. • is a Steam Gunner and the Epitaph user who controls Magus the Propagation. He is lighthearted, jovial, and flirts with female avatars, but is also calm and responsible.

The World and was the boyfriend of
.hack//Liminality protagonist Mai Minase. Kuhn implies that she broke up with him due to his immaturity.
Louis Chirillo (
.hack//Roots) • is a steam gunner who leads the Twilight Brigade. He is guarded with his personal details, except for Shino, who knows him outside the game. Ovan's arm is encased in a lock, concealing a black hatchet-like weapon, which is revealed to be the AIDA known as Tri-Edge, who has been placing users into comas. Ovan seeks to purge the system to save the first victim of the Tri-Edge, his little sister Aina. This requires working with Haseo to defeat Corebenik and activate the Rebirth. Ovan then falls into a coma but awakens to help Haseo defeat Cubia. He reunites with Aina in the OVA "Returner".;
Michael Kopsa (
.hack//Roots) • is a legendary player killer, whose victims, "The Lost Ones", never log back into the game, and the players are left comatose. His name comes from the fact that he leaves a triple-pronged sign at the location where he defeats his victim. Azure Kite is mistaken for Tri-Edge (due to his triple-bladed twin-blades), but it turns out to be
AIDA<Tri-Edge>, an AIDA that infects Ovan's avatar. It forms on his arm and sometimes takes control of him. •
Phyllo is a character owned by Antares, bequeathed to him by an old man who helped Haseo in the first episodes of

He is a system administrator for CC Corp, assigned to investigate and deal with the AIDA that have appeared in
The World R:2 through the G.U. organization. Yata prefers to monitor the situation from his headquarters, the Serpent of Lore, and tends not to reveal his motives. His regard for players is questionable, though his subordinates Pi and Kuhn act more ethically. Outside of the game, Yata is 17-year-old Takumi Hino, who played Wavemaster Wiseman in the original
.hack series, as well as the PCs Nala and Naobi. ;
Paul Dobson (
.hack//Roots)
The World R:X The following is a list of the main characters from the portable version of "The World". • is a 14-year-old boy who is very fond of games. He was invited to play Saika's special copy of
The World R:X and is directly sent into
The World itself. He is a Doubleware, a special kind of human able to use Real Digitalize technology to physically enter a virtual space. Tokio works to retrieve the Chrono Core to open the Akashic Record, forced to do so by Saika but also indebted to Kite, who saved him. In 2014, during the Akashic Line's
closed beta test, Tokio succeeded in rescuing an NPC to clear an event. For an instant, he was successfully Real Digitalized by Jyotaro Amagi's test program, becoming the only Doubleware to be discovered by the game. Although he did not understand this at the time, this direct contact left a lasting impression on both him and the NPC (later revealed to be AIKA). • is a transfer student in Tokio's class who becomes famous for her excellence in academia and athletics. She tricks Tokio into playing
The World R:X to retrieve the chrono core for her. She is secretly Jyotaro Amagi's cousin and adopted sister. An e-mail from Jyotaro (that was actually sent by Geist) instructed her to collect the chronocores to extract him from
The World. • is a cow-like grunt that stays in Grand Whale and acts as Tokio's guide. •
AIKA is a mysterious girl who resembles Saika and appears in Tokio's dreams. Prior to knowing her identity, Tokio referred to her as "princess". She granted Tokio the X-Form, encouraging him to continue fighting for those whom he cherished. She serves as a guide throughout the game, accompanying Tokio, who is the only one who can see her. In 2014, AIKA was created as an event NPC in Jyotaro Amagi's online game
Akashic Line, subconsciously modeled after his late aunt Ayaka Amagi. During the game's closed beta test, Tokio rescued her to clear an event, and this direct contact left a lasting impression on both him and the NPC. In 2017, she became fused with benevolent AIDA, retaining the memories of the NPC and the personality of AIDA, forming a new type of AI. She was later retrieved by Saika in order to find Jyotaro. In the final battle, AIKA sacrificed herself to purify Aura's corrupted data and disappeared. However, Helba suggested that AIKA might exist somewhere in
The World. •
Death Queen Aura, a.k.a. Queen of Demise, is Aura while she was infected by Geist's virus, carried by Tokio. Due to the infection, Aura becomes crazed and tries to ensnare the entire world into her network as a twisted expression of love. She began creating monsters called Legion that spread throughout
The World, corrupting data and beginning the process of Twilight to digitally realign humanity. Tokio and the Twilight Knights developed a vaccine program to save her, but succumbed to her power until AIKA interfered. AIKA merges with Aura to restore her memories, which disappear. She's last seen, presumably within her own mind, in her child form with AIKA holding her hands. • was Saika's mother and Jyotaro's aunt who died ten years before the events of the series. Her death was one of Jyotaro's reasons for realizing the Immortal Dusk plan.
