Bai Mei, Blade, Maple Manybell, and Herocrates appear on the official roster, while Nanafey and Olympia are confirmed story characters. Lumehart and Noctumbra appear in official videos. The playable list has not been published.
Who is confirmed so far?
The official site's character panel lists Bai Mei, Blade, Maple Manybell, and Herocrates. Nanafey and Olympia are named in official character and press material. The trailer list adds Lumehart and Noctumbra.
That is a cast list, not a roster. Appearing in a trailer does not prove a unit is playable, and a named character does not prove a banner.
Who is Bai Mei?
Bai Mei is the current Novarch of Reality, selected by the unique election mechanism of the Material Lip, and described as a celebrity in the Plane of Reality.
The official character panel also pairs her with Blade. The page does not explain whether Blade is a title, a weapon, or a second name [verify].
Who is Nanafey?
Nanafey is a student in Iia, promoted as the Wonder Girl Next Door. Official material says she opens her home to the traveler after they escape captivity.
She is the warm, ordinary counterweight to the political figures in the cast, and she anchors the opening town.
Who is Olympia?
Olympia is named in the Evolution Test press release and described as the acting manager of the True Nexus Group's Iia branch. The name is official; the branch role comes from press coverage [verify].
Which Anima are named?
Umpurritty is confirmed as the juvenile form of Umpurrella, with the Beauty Aspect. It likes to sit on its own tail and float around, according to the official description.
Press reports also name Anima such as Bobabirb, Cublade, Foalhardy, and Scorscythe. Umpurrella is referenced as the adult form, and Blade's partner Anima is reported as Bladehound [verify].
Are Lumehart and Noctumbra people or Anima?
Unclear. They appear in official Planar Transmission videos: one models an Anima fashion brand, the other stars in a psychological-thriller trailer.
The official site does not label their species, role, or playability. Treat them as confirmed names with unconfirmed roles [verify].
Is there a tier list?
No, and this site will not publish one before launch. A tier list needs a stable roster, a live economy, and real match data. None of those exist yet.
