[edit] Playable Characters

[edit] A.B.A

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

Created atop a mountain home named "Frasco", A.B.A is an artificial lifeform, the creation of a scientist who lived within Frasco. However, before her 'birth', the aforementioned scientist was taken away by the military, which was planning to use his skills for unknown reasons. When her eyes opened for the first time, A.B.A found herself alone within Frasco, and lived the first 10 years of her life in total isolation.

Escape from Frasco was not impossible. Nevertheless, A.B.A quickly realized that she had no knowledge of how to exist outside of her home. To find relief from her sadness, she began to collect keys of all kinds, as they represented the opening of a bold new world and an escape from imprisonment.

While roaming outside one day, still tired of her isolated life, A.B.A stumbled upon an ancient relic known as "Flament Nagel". It was love at first sight, as the war relic was shaped like a key, A.B.A decided to keep it as her partner; she renamed it "Paracelsus". Her new goal was to acquire an artificial body for her newfound partner.

[edit] Anji Mito

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X

Anji is among the few people born of Japanese descent. Because of this, he is protected by the government since full-blooded Japanese are as an endangered species. While there are those who accept this lifestyle, Anji doesn’t - he compares acceptance of government to living in a zoo's cage. To regain his freedom, he escaped from his colony and pursued That Man for answers for his ever-curious mind.

No one knows exactly how he heard of That Man and the Gears themselves, nor do they know how he came to possess the Zessen fans. It is implied that Anji stole the Zessen, which had been stored in the Japanese colony, before escaping.

[edit] Axl Low

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

Originally from the streets of 20th century London's East End, Axl fought his way through the ranks of the various gangs of his neighborhood in order to bring peace to the streets, until he was mysteriously sent nearly 200 years into the future. He now searches for any way he can return home. He fights with a double kusari-gama with expert skill and is able to use some fire magic.

[edit] Baiken

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

During the Crusades, the nation of Japan was destroyed by the Gears. Following this, those of Japanese descent who still lived were declared cultural treasures and placed in special colonies. However, the Gears attacked even these colonies. During one attack, the young Baiken, after watching the death of her parents and losing her right arm and left eye, saw standing among the Gears their creator: "That Man." From that point, she swore revenge, training herself in the use of the katana and dedicated herself to hunting "That Man" down. (Baiken was a hidden character in Guilty Gear but became a normal character in the later installments.) Armed with a katana, she also has many hidden surprise weapons within the sleeve of her severed arm: a Japanese mace, a fireworks cannon, a bladed fan, a chain rope, a hook, a claw, and a spear. How this is accomplished is unknown, but it's assumed to be related to the game's out-of-this-world motif, perhaps involving the common gag known as Hammerspace.

[edit] Bridget

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX

Despite the name and appearance, Bridget is actually a boy. He was born in a village where the birth of twins of the same gender was considered bad luck, and hence his family named and raised him as a girl. When he became older, he decided that he would prove his worth and his masculinity by becoming a bounty hunter. He is given a fake list of bounties by I-No, sending him against many of the other fighters. He fights with a yo-yo and Roger, his mechanical, intelligent, and oversized teddy bear.

[edit] Chipp Zanuff

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

A former drug addict and dealer for the mafia, Chipp was marked for death when his addiction got in the way of his duties. It was then that he was taken in by the ninja Tsuyoshi, who trained him in the ways of Ninjutsu. However, Tsuyoshi was murdered, and Chipp swore revenge against the killers. Hotheaded and brash, he fights with a blade on his arm and lightning-fast speed.

[edit] Dizzy

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X

The daughter of Justice, Dizzy's appearance in the world became a cause of concern to those in power, fearing another war with the Gears. However, Dizzy has no desire to harm anyone and only wishes to live in peace. She is eventually found by and joins the Jellyfish air pirates. (Dizzy is the boss character in GGX.).

[edit] Dr. Baldhead

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

Once a brilliant and renowned surgeon, Dr. Baldhead tragically lost his mind when a young girl under his care died in surgery. He then became a ruthless and brutal serial killer until his capture, when he was then released to take part in the first tournament. Tall, lanky, and utterly deranged, he fights with a six-foot long oversized scalpel.

[edit] Eddie

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX (Cameo appearance in Guilty Gear X ending)

After fighting Millia, Zato-1 falls to his injuries, and the parasite Eddie takes control of Zato's now decaying body to seek out a new living host to control. Eddie replaces Zato-1 from GGXX onward with regard to both the story and the selectable characters. (The actual reason for the character change is thought to be because Zato-1's voice actor, Kaneto Shiozawa, died of a brain concussion after GGX was made.)

[edit] Fanny

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Petit

A strange nurse with an unusual connection to Dr. Baldhead, Fanny fights her enemies in much the same style as Baldhead, using a syringe that once belonged to her late mother.

[edit] Faust

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X

Once a kind and very talented surgeon, Faust became a ruthless murderer after losing a young girl in surgery. After horribly killing scores of people and being imprisoned, Faust was given a second chance after the first tournament. He first decided to atone for his crimes by taking his own life, but he learned that the girl's death was actually caused by a third party. Donning a paper bag on his head and taking his oversized scalpel, Faust seeks out the truth about the girl's death while dedicating himself to saving as many lives as he can. Although there has been no official statement, it is heavily inferred through their similarities that Faust is a reformed Dr. Baldhead.

[edit] Holy-Order Sol

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX/Slash

The past version of Sol Badguy, Order-Sol dons his traditional uniform, as well as a new, yet simplistic, weapon. After defeating Boss I-No, the character will time-travel back to the days of this past Sol, engaging him in battle. With 'new' moves, such as Storm Viper and Gunblaze, which appear to be prototypes to his present attacks, Order-Sol is prepared to engage with any opponent.

[edit] Johnny

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X (though he has a cameo appearance in May's ending in the original Guilty Gear)

A charming and dashing iaidouka and leader of the Jellyfish air pirates, Johnny works outside the law to help others in need. His crew is made of orphans that he has raised himself, including May. He also enjoys shamelessly chasing after women.

[edit] Judgment

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Judgment

The transformation of Raymond, and the final boss of Guilty Gear Judgment, Judgment is a powerful unlockable character.

[edit] Justice

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

The original Commander Gear, Justice had the power to control all other Gears, which she used to wage war against the human race. Ultimately she was brought down and exiled to a dimensional prison by the Sacred Order of Holy Knights. However, she was freed by Testament, but was quickly defeated once again, and finally destroyed by Sol Badguy. (Justice is the final boss of Guilty Gear, is absent from Guilty Gear X, except for X:Plus, and returns as a secret character in GGXX.)

[edit] Jam Kuradoberi

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X

A highly talented and spirited martial artist whose true passion is Chinese cooking. She takes up bounty hunting as a means of collecting enough money in order to open her own restaurant, her lifelong dream. Which was acomplished in GGX, when she obtained the from the tournament which took place in the game from Sol. (The official ending of Guilty Gear X)

[edit] Kliff Undersn

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

Former leader of the Holy Knights. He wields the massive sword Dragonslayer with just one hand. He is also an unlockable hidden character in Guilty Gear XX.

[edit] Ky Kiske

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

The young, dedicated, and pious chief of the International Police Force, Ky was made head of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights at age 16 and under his leadership, they were able to bring an end to the century long Crusades against the Gears. His dedication to law and order puts him at odds with the free-spirited Sol Badguy, his rival. He fights with the Thunderseal sword and with his lightning magic.

[edit] Leopaldon

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

Very little is known about this character, the boss of GG Isuka. An Arcadia article mentions that he is a good man at heart who somehow manages to control a giant Gear, but otherwise little is known about him, his Gear, or his faithful dog. Moreover, some unofficial sources have stated that Leopaldon, or the Gear itself, is female, due to the mark on the Gear's shoulder.

Also known as Laflafion Seen first on level 100

[edit] May

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

A young, cute, and spunky member of the Jellyfish air pirates that is utterly dedicated to Johnny, the leader of the pirates and the man who raised her after she was orphaned. She entered the first tournament in order to bail Johnny out of prison, and fights in later tournaments for his benefit. She fights with a massive ship's anchor, which she is able to swing with ease. It is heavily implied that May is Japanese. (In fact if Justice defeats May in GGXX' arcade mode Justice will point out that she is disgusted by the fact there are still Japanese people walking the Earth.)May has an irrational fear of bald people and can sense them from a distance.

[edit] Millia Rage

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

Orphaned in the Crusades, she was taken in and raised by the Assassins Guild who trained her to kill, teaching her how to use and control her hair, a creature similar in nature to Zato-1's "Eddie", as a living weapon. However, she did not desire the life of an assassin and escaped when the chance presented itself. She faces down Zato-1 and then Eddie, knowing that she can only be free with his death.

[edit] Potemkin

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

A massive slave-soldier of Zepp, a floating continent controlled by a military dictatorship, Potemkin was forced into the first tournament by his superiors. However, during the tournament, the government of Zepp was overthrown in a revolt lead by Gabriel, his mentor. Once Gabriel was made president of Zepp, Potemkin pledged his loyalty to the new government as a special agent. Potemkin likes to draw, but is so strong, he can put four tons of pressure on a pencil with only his fingers.

[edit] Robo-Ky

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X

Robo-Ky is not simply one character, but in fact a line of robotic copies of Ky Kiske created by the shadowy Post War Administration Bureau. For some reason, Robo-Ky is often mistaken for the real Ky Kiske and vice versa during the game's story mode, even though his face is obviously metallic, his voice is higher-pitched and robotic, and he constantly blurts out *GIGIGI* or *BZZZT* noises during story sequences.

• Revised Appearance: Guilty Gear XX#Reload

In story mode, Robo-Ky functions the same in #Reload as he does in XX, but that's where the similarity ends - the revised Robo-Ky contains an entirely different sprite set and movelist from his XX predecessor. With regard to explaining the existence of Robo-Ky from XX, it is simply assumed that he was an early model and that the Robo-Ky from #Reload is "the real deal". This also implies that the other characters have never met the Robo-Ky from XX.

[edit] Robo-Ky Mk. II

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

A version of Robo-Ky whose moveset and technical parameters (like attack strength, defense, etc.) can be customized. Unlike the other Robo-Ky, Mk. II is built by and has loyalty to a mysterious scientist, not the Post-War Administration Bureau.

[edit] Sol Badguy

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

A lone bounty hunter and former member of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, Sol has dedicated himself to the extinction of the Gears. At over 150 years old, Sol was involved with the creation of the Gear Project, and he is in fact the prototype Gear. He fights with his sword, Fireseal, and with his fire magic. His real name is Frederick. In Guilty Gear XX Slash, there is another version of Sol called Holy Order Sol.

[edit] Slayer

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX

An ancient vampire who founded the Assassins Guild, he comes out of hiding when the Guild dives into chaos after Zato's disappearance. Cultured and debonair, Slayer enjoys haiku and spends his time with his wife Sharon, another immortal. He also has a personal connection with Gabriel, the president of Zepp, but seems to be acquainted with all of the movers and shakers of the Guilty Gear universe.

[edit] Testament

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

One of the few Gears with free will, Testament found himself attempting to return Justice to the world. After the first tournament, he discovered the Gear Dizzy, and dedicated himself to protecting her. Stoic and morose, he fights with a massive scythe made of blood and his unnatural Gear powers. (Up until GGXX, Testament is a sub-boss character that can be unlocked as a playable character. From GGXX on, he is playable without being unlocked.)

[edit] Venom

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear X

Another orphan raised by the Assassins Guild, Venom became the devoted right hand of Zato-1 when he came to power. Once Millia began to hunt Zato and the parasite Eddie began taking more control, Venom began his quest to save his beloved master (it is assumed that he harbors a homosexual love for Zato). He fights with his own style using a pool cue and billiard ball summons. Venom also seems to be an enemy of Faust, supported by one of the endings in Guilty Gear: XX.

[edit] Zako-dan

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear Isuka

Meaning roughly "Lackey Gang" in Japanese, Zako-dan is a mysterious organization added into the console releases of Isuka. These characters seem to be around just for comic relief. Most of them can only use two out of four basic attacks, and one of them lacks the ability to jump, making these characters unpopular with all but the best of players.

[edit] Zappa

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear XX

A hapless young man who has found himself possessed by a number of angry and vicious spirits, most notably a woman named S-ko who often takes control of his body to attack others. Zappa seeks out Faust in the hopes of finding a cure for his bizarre "condition".However,even Faust finds himself helpless in giving Zappa relief!!

[edit] Zato-1

• First Appearance: Guilty Gear

A member of the powerful Assassins Guild, Zato-1 allowed himself to become the host of a symbiotic creature named Eddie in exchange for his sight. Because of this, Zato-1 was able to take control of his shadow, and use it as a weapon to gain great power. With this power, he made himself leader of the Assassins Guild. However, as his body weakened, Eddie was able to take more and more control until Zato-1's death from the hands of Millia Rage. Zato despises all women, due to past connections with Millia Rage.

Note: The change of name and 'character' may or may not have been the result of Zato-1's original voice actor dying before the release (or possibly production of) Guilty Gear XX.

[edit] Non-Playable Characters

[edit] April

A member of the Jellyfish air pirates, she is Johnny's first mate and May's best friend.

[edit] Gabriel

Mentor of Potemkin, Gabriel lead the revolt against the leaders of the floating continent of Zepp and was elected its president shortly afterwards.

[edit] Megumi

Axl's girlfriend from the 20th century, Megumi has never been seen but is often mentioned by Axl.

[edit] Raven

One of three servants to That Man. Little is known of him, but he does share some sort of connection with Axl Low which That Man describes as being "parallel existences" of each other. In the Guilty Gear novel "Lightning the Argent", Raven shows unusual battle prowess by essentially ignoring Sol's fire attacks, via regeneration, and beating Faust in an interdimensional battle. Raven is also present in several endings in Guilty Gear XX, in which one he is noted as the parallel existence of Axl Low.

[edit] Raymond

A cruel scientist and villian of Guilty Gear Judgment.

[edit] Roger

Bridget's mechanical and sentient teddy bear, Roger helps Bridget in his fights by punching and cutting up the opponent should they get in his way.

[edit] Sharon

Wife and constant companion of Slayer. While not a vampire, she is immortal and apparently cannot be killed, even to the point where Slayer can completely drain her of blood with no ill effect. She speaks very little, if at all.

[edit] S-Ko

A vengeful spirit that has possessed Zappa, and is quite possibly the most powerful one occupying his body. Also, she shares many similarities and is most likely a reference to Sadako from The Ring. (S-Ko is an abbreviated form of Sadako).

[edit] That Man

(Ano Otoko in the original Japanese)

The creator of the Gears. Little is known of him and his motivations, but he has played key roles in many events over the past 150 years, seemingly immune to aging. Moreover, his intentions seem whole-hearted, often hinting that Gears were created to protect mankind from a future threat.
