In a futuristic Tokyo, unique human beings who have awakened distinct powers are being hunted by a secret organization named Kestos.

Cast

Attractors

Quon (クオン Kuon?)
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya
The protagonist, the first attractor. He is determined to save all attractors who awaken. Quon's past is one of loss, pain, and suffering. It's still a bit sketchy, but he had (or still has) a brother. Unlike the attractors seen thus far, he has more than one power, including transformation, which grants him exceptional speed and strength--but is still incomplete; maybe flight; manipulations of water, metal (or mechanical objects) and, possibly nature itself; healing and/or regeneration. There are also hints of immortality, and that he may even be one thousand years old. But he aims to pave the way for a future of peace and acceptance.
Yuri (ユリ?)
Voiced by: Ryoko Shiraishi
A flirty, risque attractor, and friend of Quon. She has exceptional speed, or something to that effect. Although she cares about the exterior, she is not completely self-centered, aiding her friends in times of need. Like some attractors, her powers are limited. She is able to maintain super speed for a at least twenty minutes before tiring, and wears a special suit to protect her skin from rashes default of the velocity of the run.

Voiced by: Chiaki Omigawa
A young, animal loving girl who carries a notepad and pencils for sketching. She has the power to communicate to animals, and is constantly surrounded by them, which are adorned with a tiny pink bow. She doesn't talk much, but when she does, it's sometimes in the form of animal speech, which begs the question of whether or not she has full control of her abilities.
Takao (タカオ?)
Voiced by: Miyu Irino
Takao is a complacent, somewhat lazy, smart talking attractor. He's always criticizing Quon about his avid attempts to save all the attractors, but still has huge great for him. Although he doesn't seem to care, he uses his powers when absolutely necessary. Takoa's a teleporter, with adverse effects. When he teleports, he injures himself, resulting in a twisted limb, or something to that effect.
Ryō (リョウ?)
Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki
An intelligent, support-type attractor. Ryō is a technopath, able to control technology at his whim, infiltrating video feeds, disabling security systems, preventing tracking to some degree. When he uses his power, four probes come out of his back, and aid him in his exploits. He is usually seen with Miu.
Yūma (ユーマ?)
Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu
A young and naive boy whose power is not titled. When he gets upset or angry, his body transforms into a goliath creature who erupts with colored orbs. Although he can't control the orbs, they usually fly off toward the general direction of the aggressor. When the orbs come into contact with objects, they disintegrate matter, leaving crater-sized holes in their wake. Thanks to Quon, he finally came to understand his powers.
