Daytona patrols Sumeragi’s chemical plant complex and possesses the psychic power “Explosion”. Once a notorious gang leader, Daytona fell in love with Lumen’s voice and enlisted as part of Sumeragi’s private army.

He has the ability to compress thermal energy into small spheres called Angry Bombs that explode on impact. He can also enflame his legs and his sword of choice is “Lord of Fire”.

Elise

Elise was being held prisoner by Sumeragi. She possesses the ultimate psychic power—“Rebirth,” the ability to manipulate the soul into spinning out life for eternity. Sumeragi were attempting to implant Elise’s brain with a more aggressive persona that ended up taking control of her original, weak-willed persona.

Unfortunately, Sumeragi were unable to contain her power, triggering a rampage that levelled the research facility she was being held at. Elise uses the “Living Blade” has her sword of choice, and controls “vipers” that she can shape into daggers. After being thrown, she can make them come back to life as zombies.

Stratos

Stratos is a swordsman that is held prisoner by Sumeragi. Prior to his capture, he was a handsome, popular man, although no trace of this man remains today. Stratos possesses the “Fly” ability and is capable of turning his flesh into fly-shaped particles of energy that can dismantle any matter and incorporate it into his body.

Repeated experimentation on Stratos has caused his powers to become too powerful for even his Sword, “Lizardslayer,” to control. The only thing that keeps him in check is a special drug called S.E.E.D., extracted from the experimental plant ViVid.
