The Rave Warriors are the Main Characters of the Rave Master anime and manga Series.
- Haru Glory: The current Rave Master. He lives with his sister, Cattleya Glory on Garage Island. Haru is a teenage boy who believes in justice and peace, yet does not have much interest in adventuring; his destiny takes a turn when Shiva gives him the Rave stone, passing on the powers of the Rave Master. When he realises the true threat that Demon Card are to the world, he sets off to find the pieces of Rave to restore peace to the world. He like his father never give up in a battle, even with the circumstances. He is not afraid to die for the protection of the planet. He does have a crush on Elie.
In Japanese fan polls, Haru always wins the spot as the most popular character in the series.

- Elie: A girl with no memories, she first met Haru at the dog races where she was betting on Plue. She ends up joining them after Haru saves her. She fought with Tonfa-style guns that have an explosive effect. But Elie soon learns her true name is Experiment #3173 ("3173" in block numbers upside-down is "Elie"), and that she was modeled after Resha Valentine, the genius girl who supposedly gave her life using the power of Etherion in her to create the Rave and the Ravestones. (The Rave's name is a derivative of her name; Resha Valentine.) Elie originally possessed Etherion, but since she can't control it, it was sealed by Haru to prevent it from destroying the world. Later in the series (both in the anime and manga), Sieg Hart finds that Elie is not the result of an Experiment and that the her name ELIE and 3173 are actually map coordinates.
In Volume 31, it is revealed that Elie actually is Resha. Contrary to history, Resha did not die of Etherion poisoning, instead, her death was staged in order to preserve her power to combat the future coming of Etherion 50 years later. This plan was unknown to everyone but the king of Symphonia, Haru's grandfather, who went by the name of Kaim. Elie was in a magic-induced sleep preserving her youth until a year before Rave Master began, waking when Sieg destroyed the lab.

- A SIDE NOTE: It is revealed in a side chapter of the manga that Elie and Haru have a son, Levin. Although author's comment section in the manga specifically mentioned that Levin's parents are not Haru and Elie, just some random characters that looked like them, but many fans still acknowledge Levin being Haru and Elie's son.
- Hamrio Musica (Hedara Musica in the English dub): The leader of a band of infamous thieves known as the Silver-Rhythm gang. He ownes and pilots a flying ship called the Advent. Musica is a "Silverclaimer", able to manipulate anything silver into any form he wants it to be. The skull necklace he wears, called Silver, gives him this ability. He can reform Silver into almost any kind of weapon or tool he needs. He became Haru's good and strongest friend, helping him in his search for the Rave Stones, while searching for the Silver Ray.
- Musica eventually finds the Silver Ray (which was changed to 'River Saly' by the Onigami) and finds Ogre, a Goldclaimer, and the leader of the Onigami, with Reina. Ogre discovers that R-E-I-N-A was the five character password to activate the Silver Ray, and he did, putting the whole continent in danger. Musica and Reina had to set aside their differences and the fact that they were enemies to defeat him. Since he is a Goldclaimer, Silver isn't something that would really work on him, added to the fact that his piece of Sinclaire - "Last Physics" makes any physical assault weapon useless.
- Musica and Reina use the ultimate Silverclaimer magic, Silver Bonds, to destroy Ogre, but they had to trust each other. Silver Bonds wasn't physical, so it literally destroyed Ogre. But there was still the problem of the Silver Ray. It was going to activate shortly after, and the both of them wanted to use Silver Bonds again to destroy it. Reina valued Musica's life more than hers, because she finally had something that she could love, and pushed him off the Silver Ray into the ocean. Reina used silver magic to talk to him, and that they could perform it in this way. Musica didn't want her to, but she stubornly stayed on the Silver Ray. Silver Bonds destroyed the Silver Ray's core, and it exploded in the air, killing Reina.
- Finally, a weapon made from the Silver Ray, the sacred spear, Silver Ray, which had Reina and her father's souls, and her “shadow stone”, "White Kiss" fell, and Reina's soul whispered to him that she loved him. Musica said that she should lend all of her power to this, and vowed that he was going to fight Darkness with it for her. Her White Kiss “shadow stone” becomes fused to Musica's silver necklace. It is Musica who takes it upon himself to forge the final form of the Ten Commandments Sword, Ravelt.
- Plue: The strange creature that Haru discovered, Plue is the Rave Bearer, and is able to sense the presence of the other Rave Stones. Plue's nose also has the ability to destroy dark brings. Plue is quite fond of sweets - especially lollipops. Plue hates pudding. He has the ability to utilise the rave of conflict which powers him and Haru up.
Plue has since shown up in Fairy Tail as one of Lucy's summons (Nicola, Cains minor) and quickly named Plue and has been noted to only agree to be summoned on Tuesdays, Wednedays and Thurdays).
- Griffon Kato: Called Griff by his friends, he mostly praises Plue. The reason was some months before he met Haru, Plue ended up on Griff's island home, when it was under attack by the Puddingheads (which is why Plue has a strange dislike of pudding). Plue defeated the villains in what seemed a noble sacrifice. Griff declared himself as Plue's follower as a result. He is also very perverted (he likes to see Elie naked the most). There is one episode where Elie, Griff, and Plue were running away from the Oracion Six. Griff was left behind and about to be attacked when Elie jumped in the way, breaking her arm in the process. She tells Griff to run. Just then, Julius, an Oracion Six member, grabs her by her hair and was about to kill her when Griff, overcome with guilt, sacrifices himself by jumping into the air and getting in the way of the sword slash. His "death" causes Elie to release her powers. But it turns out that Griff didn't die and was instead split into two individuals, the first calling himself "Griffon" and the second calling himself "Kato" (an obvious name split). He then proceeds to join back together into his original form, as "Griffon Kato".
- Let: A Dragonrace, a race of dragon people who reside in Makai, the demon dimension. When he was first inroduced, he was an evil warrior who worked for Demon Card as a guardian for King. He only wanted to fight until Haru defeated him and showed him the path of justice. Let vowed revenge against Jegan, whom he believed had killed his girlfriend Julia, and joined Demon Card to improve his strength as well as to someday extract his revenge. After meeting with Haru and fighting him, Let was convinced that he should join him so that he may truly become strong. Once the group crash landed upon the barren wasteland of Symphonia, they were attacked by the Oricon Sei. The entire group battles a different member, and Let confronts Jegan. Realizing he cannot defeat him without having become a man, Let forces himself through the Dragonrace's rite-of-passage. After nearly failing, Let achieves his human appearance, and his powers are increased greatly. They are not enough, though, and Let succumbs to Jegan's “shadow stone”, "Ygdrassil". Later on, Jegan launches his own assault, and he and Let battle yet again. The two fight fiercely, Jegan and Let finally falling from the backs of the dragons into the ocean. A bit of elixer Let had saved from their earlier encounter with a witch doctor finds its way to Julia, who had been revealed as having failed her rite-of-passage and becoming a full dragon. When Let awakens, he finds himself upon land and greeted by none other than Julia.
- Ruby (Sentinoid, Penguin-Type): A pink penguin, who owns a massive floating casino. Ruby likes to use his wealth to buy rare treasures. When he learns Doryu is using his cash for evil ends, he's almost killed by Doryu, but Haru saves him, and he decides to join his side. During Haru's first fight against Doryu, Ruby discovers that the "bell" that he's been carrying is actually the magical sword that Master Dalmatian, a member of the Knights of the Blue Sky wielded.
- Julia of Dragon Race: Let's girlfriend, some what of a feisty blond who's loud, rowdy, and not above beating people up to get her way, which is a polar opposite to the cool and calm Let. Despite being rather thin, her martial arts skills and strength are just as great as her boyfriend's. She has a habit of drawing upon his face when he is sleeping "..."
- Belnika: A young girl who was experimented on to wield and absorb magic, such as Aetherion. She is used as a tool for the evil Hardner, believing she is helping him save the world. Haru convinces her of the truth, and she joins his side.
- Shuda (Shūda): Former member of the Oracion Six, fought Haru and lost his hand. He is now on Haru's side (of sorts). Apparently, after Haru defeated him in Volume 5, it opened his eyes, and he learned an important lesson. It is hinted (and confirmed in Volume 21) in the manga that he fell in love with Haru's sister, Cattleya, when he dropped by Garage Island. He also fought deep snow but spared his life when he saw him cry from hearing what king had said when shuda was with demon card
- Jeid: one of the four main generals in the Imperial Army and the older brother of Jegan. He convinces Jegan to live the right way, and is distraught when the village they inhabit is destroyed and Jegan is killed attempting to protect the woman who saved him after he and Let's fight. With that, he resolves to destroy Demon Card.

[edit] Recurring Rave Warriors
These are characters that join forces with the regular Rave Warriors at certain times, and provide them with a great deal of help.
- Shiba: The previous and first Rave Master. Like Haru, he is also from Garage island.
- Sieg Hart: A Defender of Time from Mildea. Elemental Master. Was originally out to kill Elie, but eventually joined Haru on his quest. He was originally working with Shadow Guard (his objective to kill King) but left them. He later returns to save Haru and the others when they are attacked by the Oracion Six, thus showing that he has become a powerful magician. On returning to Mildea, he fights Haja but fails to kill him. Sieg also helps Elie find her memory late in Vol.30-31 of the manga but has to remain in the past where he guards Resha's grave for fifty years. The rune over his eye is a mark of his unusual fate.
- The Silver Rhythm Gang: This is Musica's gang and the crew of the Advent. They are a motley crew of thieves and brigands, but are nonetheless loyal to Musica and his friends. Though much of their wealth was ill-gotten, it did enable them to buy a state-of-the-art air ship, the Silver Knights. Now, if only they could figure out how to make it stop when they want. They occationally join and help out Haru's group.
-
- Hebi (The tattoo on his head says "Snake"): Musica's right-hand man and second in command of the Silver-Rhythm. He also knows a lot about animals. He even seems to know some things about Plue when Haru asked him what Plue was; however, Hebi just turned away.
[edit] Knights of the Blue Sky (Knights of the Azure Sky)
The knights who protect the rave stones
-
- Alpine Spaniel: A heroic knight of the kingdom of Symphonia who becomes one of the guardians of Rave. Unlike the others, he survived the war and the Overdrive. He kept the other knights' soul and transforms them into animals to guard the Rave pieces.
-
- Clea Maltese: A dark-skinned beauty from Luka Continent. She was one of the Four Knights of the Blue Sky, and after death she turned into a bird-like being. She gave Haru the Rave of Combat. Haru never got to talk to her directly.
-
- Deerhound: A huge brute of a warrior who seems to laugh at everything. After death he transformed into a bear. He gave Haru the Rave of Knowledge.
-
- Master Dalmatian: A master tactician and perhaps the most level-headed of the Four Knights of Blue Sky. After death he transformed into a walrus-like being.
[edit] Other Rave Warrior Allies
Warriors that help out Haru and his friends, but they don't appear as much as the recurring allies.
- Gale Glory: Haru's father, he and King set up the Demon Card (Shadow Guard in the English Dub) to protect the people. But Gale left when he was not fond of the direction the organization was going. He tried to stop King, but it ended horribly with King's family slaughtered. Before the Ultimate Shadow Stone was placed inside his body, Gale felt the fury of his former friend's rage when his face was scarred and his wife killed before his eyes. He later reappeared and helped his son defeat King, and eventually sacrificed his life to save Haru before the tower's collapse. Before he died, he gave his sword to Shuda to use in battle, which Shuda uses to fight Deep Snow.
- Cattleya Glory: Haru's sister. She is reluctant to let Haru leave Garage Island. She is the self-proclaimed "Queen of "Karaoke". She later becomes Shuda's girlfriend.
- Nakajima: A strange lifeform that lives stuck to the outside wall of Cattleya and Haru's house. He looks like a flower, but claims that the petal-looking things ringing his round face are feathers. His favorite (and perhaps only) hobby is "golling".
- Sakura Glory: Haru's mother and Gale's wife, she was killed by King as part of his revenge against her husband for what he had done to his wife and son (even though he didn't his son was alive.)
- Galein Musica: Musica's grandfather and the blacksmith who created the TCM.
- Jiggle Butt Gang (Big Butt Bandits in English dub): Three hopeless robbers who have absolutely no talent in robbing, they extremely big booties which they jiggle when excited. Their leader, named Wonderful Gocche, has an affinity with Plue.
- Alice the elixer maker: A medicine man met by Haru's gang during the journey to Southernberg island. He says "munya" a lot. Although simple-minded in appearance, he is over five hundred years old and 'wields' a giant syringe, containing various fluids, of which switched the souls of Haru, Elie, Musica and Plue around, causing confusion. Alice later cured Elie's broken arm.
- Saga Pendragon: A prophet of Acapella Island, belonging to Nakajima's race. His poi was stolen by a tiny dandelion named "Dee Dee". His maid, Sonia, knows a lot about flowers.
[edit] Villains
[edit] Demon Card
The most powerful organization of evil and darkness in the world, who use the power of the evil magical stones Dark Bring in performing their sinister deeds. In many ways, they can be considered the successor to the once-powerful kingdom of the Raregrooves, who once tried to subjugate the world in the same manner.
- Gale Raregroove
- Lucia Raregroove
- Oracion Seis
- Guardians of the Gate: these five warriors from others dimensions are brought together by one of King's dark brings, the Gate. They are all powerful. They only oppose a threat to Haru and his friends in Volume 8. All of their names, according to the author, sound like something in real life if you add "ma" to the beginning of the name.
-
- Lutiangle: The leader and most powerful of the guardians, his dark bring is Transparent. It allows him to turn objects, himself included, invisible. This includes his weapons and some of the landscape around his opponent. His weapon is probably some kind of long blade (You cannot tell what is is because it is invisible). He also has a power that is not connected to his “shadow stone”, the ability to seal his opponents in the landscape of their memories while the guardians fight them. For instance, when Haru was in the psychic prison, he was on the shores of Garage Island. Ltiangle is defeated and killed by Musica. "ma"ltiangle (multiangle)
-
- Let: He is the second most powerful Palace Guardian, but he was defeated by Haru. After Haru proved to Let that there is more to living and fighting than life and death, Let began to change his ways. He eventually became Haru's friend. In Volume 10, Let sort of suggests that he became stronger than Ltiangle because he challenges Musica, and he said that his power and skills have greatly improved. "ma"let (mallet)
-
- Rionette: He is really tall, has a really long neck, and can only speak in rhyme. His dark bring is Shadow Doll. He can teleport himself from where he's standing to wherever your shadow is. Also, when he stands on your shadow, you cannot move. He is easily distracted with random tricks, so defeating him wasn't teribly hard. He was defeaten by Plue, Griff, Salasido, Remmy, and Elie. "marionette" (marionette)
-
- Ron Glace: He is a huge, really not smart, suit of armor that speaks with bad grammar. He is actually the weakest member of the Palace Guardians. He carries a huge spear which he uses as a medium for his dark bring, Spikes. Whenever his spear plows into the ground, metal spikes come out of the ground. He was defeaten by Musica and Salasido. "ma" (maron)
-
- Racas: This guy has hair in the shape of a horseshoe and carries two maracas. He cannot help dancing and his dark bring, Rhythm Counter, allows him to reflect an attack back that is a few times stronger. He can also read people's mind. After Haru used the Rune Save to clear his mind, Haru was able to defeat and kill Racas. "ma"racas (maracas)
[edit] Lesser Enemies
These are enemies that aren't as significant to Haru and his friends.
- Georco:President of the dog racing track in Hip Hop Town, Georco possesses the “shadow stone” Smoke Bay, enabling him to turn his body into smoke, and create a cloud of suffocating, poisonous gas. Haru was almost defeated byhim in volume 2, but he was much weaker then, and Georco got his butt kicked anyway.
- Lance: Commander of a unit of Shadow Guard soldiers, he wields the Beast Sword, forged by Galein Musica. It allows him to create illusions at his will. Somewhat of a psychopath, he captured Elie and injured Hamrio Musica in volume 2, and was defeated by Haru in Volume 3.
- Feber:Probably the weakest enemy ever mentioned by his name. He was the first Demon Card soldier Haru fought. He badly injured Shiba with a bazooka in Volume 1, but Haru punched him with the Rave and defeated him. Shuda later gave him the Dark Bring "Full Metal", which enabled him to turn his skin into metal. He went after Haru again, and was again defeated with the Explosion form of Ten Commandments. It is possible Gemma later hired him in Cafe Tsubomi.
[edit] Doryu Ghost Squad ( Doryu Commandos)
When the Shadow Guard disbanded, several smaller groups emerged to take the top spot in the underworld. One of the three most prominent was the Doryu Ghost Squad. They become Haru's new nemesis while on his way to Symphonia.
- Pumpkin Doryu: The founder of the Ghost Squad and holder of its top position. He holds one of the five True darkbrings, pieces of Sinclaire itself with powers greater than the ordinary DarkBring. His darkbring, Vampire gives him complete control over the forces of gravity and repulsion which lets him, at the most extreme, pull physical matter into darkness (which he did to Musica). He first fought Haru in Volume 15, and he nearly killed Haru with the twilight sword. The second time they fought in Volume 17, Haru seemed to have gained some new strength (he might have gotten stronger as a result to losing the first match), and he destroyed the twilight sword and the Jet Black sword. Haru also received some help from his friends, but it ended up being a one on one fight between Haru and Doryu. Haru was able to overcome the pain of his earlier injuries, destroyed Doryu's most powerful spell (which would have killed Haru and all of his friends), broke through the Vampire's power of repulsion, and he killed Doryu with the Million Suns. After this point, Haru was stronger than Doryu. Haru almost killed himself after he used all his power to defeat Doryu, but he was saved by Dalmatian in Volume 18.
- Franken Billy: A Frankenstein-esque member of the Doryu Ghost Squad. He wields a darkbring, called Giant which allows him to enlarge his arms at will. Haru gave Franken Billy quite a beating in Volume 10, but their fight was interrupted by the Jiggle Butt Gang. Musica fought Franken Billy in Volume 15, and Musica defeated Billy with ease.
- Lilith: A presumably young woman with a slight resemblance to Medusa. Her “shadow stone” North Wind enables her to manipulate, as well as become physically one with, the wind. It also allows her to breathe in and move freely through large bodies of water. She was defeated by Celia in Volume 15, but she was later killed by Doryu in Volume 17.
- Mummy: A corrupt scientist with an affinity for werewolves, he created a breed of bipedal wolves with three eyes and machine guns imbued into their right arms. Mummy also turned the defeated Musica into a powerful lycanthropic creature and sent the beast against the Rave warriors, but Haru returned Musica to his normal state. Mummy also possessed a reversal darkbring, Bone Knight (a darkbring that throws away the wielder's soul to transform them, similar to King's Monster Prison). He appears to have been classmates with Alice, the medicine man, who domineered over Mummy. After Haru save Musica from dying, Musica destroyed Mummy's body in Volume 15.
- Cookie: He was executed by the Empire fifteen years ago because of his crimes. Doryu used the power of Necromancy (magic to control the dead) and brought Cookie back as a zombie. His darkbring, All Crush, allowed him to atomatically destroy anything that he touches or what touches him. Haru was able to use the power of Mel Force to throw Cookie away. When Cookie hit the wall of Doryu's airship, the wall broke down, and Cookie fell off the airship. When sun's rays touched him, he was completely eliminated.
- Poison Cloud Orochi: Another one of Doryu's Commandos, he ruled over the poison section of Doryu's ship. He was fought by Musica, Haru, & Let in a fast ppitched battle. But before the fight was in full swing he let loose a poison cloud from the snakes around his neck and retreated. They found him a minute later lying dead on the ground, with a tree growing out of him. Let mutterted that Jegan was responsible for his death.
