Character Introductions

Zero
Subject #0, the first prototype of the Killer Project. Researchers infused him with both beast blood and the essence of the legendary weapon Laevateinn, the flaming sword that left the world in smoldering ruins.

Tyrfing
A Killer Princess who lost her memories, including her being a key person to the Ragnarok Institute. Sharing the same name as the legendary cursed blade said to claim the lives of those who wielded it in exchange for victory, she has a very gentle and strong-willed personality, but is known to be a bit stubborn as well.

Laevateinn
Extremely powerful, but lacking any kind of motivation. A wanderer at heart, she hates to be bound by anything. Her essence comes from “Laevateinn,” the weapon said to have once burned the world to ashes.

Valyn
The head researcher at the Ragnarok Institute, responsible for the creation of Killer Princes and Killer Princesses. No matter what the circumstance, she is never frightened, always confident, and has a great affinity for chocolate (particularly the nutty kind).
