Last updated
E24 is the codename of the Main Playable Character, owned by Eisuke (navigator) or Eriko (pilot). While racing experience varies, Eisuke and Eriko have the same personality traits.
E24 is the Academy's strongest prodigy - driven and disciplined student, landing in top-20 graduates with unwavering belief in progress. E24 breathes the League's Codex, rejecting the heritage of past generations and devoting own life to the race. The disdain for culture and history is rooted in a tragic loss of parents during the testing of a car prototype from Ancients' technical drafts, leaving E24 to be raised by grandfather.
Despite a perfect academic record, E24 is clueless about interpersonal emotional connections, focusing all efforts on the League. Such intense passion for racing is tempered by acceleration rush: uncontrollable chronic impulses at high speeds, suppressed by focus shakes. E24's life revolves around studying, racing - and taking care of a genetic leopard hybrid.
Kangjin (Kang, K05, pilot) and Lingyan (Lina, L35, navigator) are partners of Eisuke and Eriko, respectively. They were lovers driving in a team prior to a fatal accident, happening just hours before Kangjin's proposal.
Growing in households honoring remnants of cultural heritage, practically extinct in the world post Grand Eruption, K05 and L35 have always appreciated freedom of expression over strict rules of Academy. Rebellious mindset has not left them even by mid-30s, causing constant conflicts with disciplined E24, rejecting emotions and feelings. Long walks over light-speed travels, Ancient music over auto-generated songs, comfortable clothes over stamped uniforms - they struggle adapting to the world, dominated by efficiency and technology, and stick to a small number of lifelong friends, not playing pretend even for the sake of popularity scores.
Despite a cold attitude, with cynical humour and brutal honesty shocking younger generations, Kangjin and Lingyan deeply care about close friends. They don't open up easily, but once they do - they deeply cherish formed emotional bonds and go to any lengths for their family.
Note: If a player follows Eisuke's route, Kangjin is a survivor; if Eriko's - Lingyan. Kangjin is automatically added to Character Library of navigators; Lingyan - of pilots.
SANICHI is the most recognized symbol of the League - a flashy upbeat gigantic mascot, announcing the countdown before each race of the League. The hologram has its own programmed AI, giving it a fun and energetic personality. As it counts "Three-Two-One!", it lights racers' moods and raises excitement for even the most threatening maps of the League.
Titled the "Face of the League", Aurora (A33, navigator) is the most well-known racer in the galaxy, being a universal role model for navigators. Elite life was guaranteed when the agents approached 15-year-old Rory - the same day he lost his brother and teammate Juno in a race. Rory faced parents' rejection, ruined career and hatred of the only close person - Juno's best friend - for senseless navigation. Young and scared Rory had no other choice but agreeing with those who promised to make him a star. Months later, he was fully replaced with a new persona - Aurora, with only white hair hinting he is the same boy as the one who gave a fatal order.
Despite graduating with excellence, the tragedy left a deep scar on Aurora, turning him into a reserved, silent shadow of his younger ambitious self. He spends his days at fancy events and promotions - yet fans will never know his biggest dream is never sitting in a car again.
Graduating together with Kang and Lina, Vendetta (V101, pilot) received her first Inter-planet Fans Choice already during the first qualifiers after graduation. Fearless, expressive and stunningly beautiful, Vendetta won hearts from all over the galaxy, being the youngest pilot to score exclusive partnerships with Earth's top fashion brands. Her fame led her to become one of the most well-connected figures of the League - there is hardly anyone she is not familiar with... that is, as long as the individual has any power.
Besides strong and forceful personality, Vendetta remains one of the closest friends of Kangjin/Lingyan*, often joking about her pretentious aura being just a cover-up. She is driven, powerful and controlling - and will not hesitate to use all her influence to protect her career.
* The choice depends on the route followed by the player.
Juno (J06, pilot) was A33's brother, older by 6 years, and also his first partner. He was also the classmate and closest friend of Kangjin/Lingyan*, who changed significantly after his death. He was a charismatic, cheerful and popular pilot, deeply caring about A33 and making sure his brother, naturally introverted, received enough love and support. He was a talented racer with strong performance forecasts: Juno's life goal was winning the League - and climbing up the victory podium together with his young brother.
* The choice depends on the route followed by the player.
Hoku is a quiet rebel, hiding his passion behind a calm front. Studying at L.A.R.S. as a navigator, he secretly races in the underground Haruna Drive as a pilot, not once losing a race to experienced drivers. His appearance, marked by cyan-dyed hair and a mask, reflects his ironic stance against his navigator training. Hoku never fit into the world of disciplined, prudent L.A.R.S. students - and could never accept the nature of the navigator title. He learned to drive on his own, now dominating Haruna racing ranks, and strives to prove that standards do not define destiny - which caught an eye of the founder of Haruna Drive, who quietly watches and takes care of Hoku from afar. He keeps his double life hidden from the family, as his biggest worry is disappointing his parents until he succeeds.
[Z96] - Zibal
Zibal is the most famous pilot from N'kura, known for his irresistible charm.

Zibal hides his deeper emotions beneath a carefree facade, but the cost of his choices linger inside. His navigator Kowai is the only one to ever hear him open up, with neither being sober.
[K09] - Kowai
Kowai thrives on chaos and fear. His bright neon clothing contrasts sharply with his true form, bringing unsettling atmosphere to the track. K09 is an unpredictable thrill-seeker who manipulates fear for fun, seeing it as both an art and weapon. Though his unsettling behavior alarms most, his humour is mostly harmless: Kowai finds the reactions he evokes amusing but does not try to change his reputation. His bond with Zibal remains one of the only genuine connections he maintains.
[B64] - Basas
Basas is an inspiration to those who believe success requires fitting the standard.

Basas proves that racing isn't just about vision; it's about connection, instinct and trust.
[S89] - Saiph
Saiph’s ability to remain calm under pressure earned him a reputation of the most dependable navigator. Navigating is risky, but stakes are even higher for Saiph who drives with a blind pilot - S89 has saved his team more times than anyone can count. He stays loyal to the oath he gave Basas upon their first meeting: if he is not able to see the Platinum Wheel, he will hold it.
[J83] - Jussi

[L13] - Lerna
Lerna, calculative and intimidating, grew up an orphan, learning to rely on herself only.
