Ginta Toramizu

Utama

Male

A fun-loving, care-free boy who uses Babbo as his ÄRM. Being originally from another world (Earth) he was originally weak and nerdy (a stereotypical otaku) until he arrived in MÄR-Heaven, where he gained superior physical ability (and clear vision without his glasses), and his path happened to coincide with that of the ÄRM of legend Babbo. (Wiki)

Kumiko Higa

Alviss

Utama

Male

The cold figure of MÄR, Alviss is the one who brought Ginta into MÄR-Heaven. He joined the Cross Guard in the 1st War Game and grew fondness toward their leader, Danna, with whom he shared the very same goal for which they put their lives at risk, to fight the Chess and protect MÄR-Heaven. This pure courage, however, got Alviss further than he could ever have expected even in his wildest dream: Phantom also chose him as one who would reside in the dreary future of MÄR-Heaven... in the form of a Zombie-tattooed undead. For years Alviss lives under the looming shadow of this most unwanted tomorrow, and recluses from opening his heart for others. However after meeting with Ginta, Alviss starts to change and finally, stands up facing destiny in full height in order to realize his lifelong wish, the banishment of his hated enemy Phantom, riddance of the curse Tattoo, and peace attained for MÄR-Heaven. A Darkness ÄRM user. He is loyal and protect for everyone that he thinks as his 'friend'.

Souichirou Hoshi

Nanashi

Utama

Male

Nanashi is one of the more mysterious characters in MÄR. He was found lying alone in the middle of nowhere with a nasty wound to his stomach by Galian. After he was revived by him and taken to the bandit village of Luberia, it was revealed that he has no memory of his past or even his name, and thus Galian named him Nanashi, or "nameless." Galian would later betray Nanashi, joining the Chess Pieces and leaving him in charge of Luberia after erasing his memory of him. Nanashi's main goal is to track down the Chess Piece responsible for wiping out Luberia (Peta) and avenge his slain allies. Like Ginta, he has the scent and incredible strength of someone who came to MÄR-Heaven from another world. Early on, Dorothy noticed that he had great physical strength, just like Ginta. Nanashi uses lightning ÄRM.

Ever since the 2nd war concluded, he's been traveling around searching for Ginta, and ended up sleeping in a lake until Kai wakes him up.

Kazuki Yao

Jack

Utama

Male

Jack is the son of Jake, a member of the Cross Guard who was killed by the Chess Piece Weasel. Loud-mouthed and clumsy, Jack is the weakest of Team MÄR, however not by any means the least resolute, if not the most, and having the least experience. He never misses a chance on training to get stronger. He also has a hopeless crush on every cute girl he can lay his eyes on, especially Snow and Dorothy, despite how cruelly they treat him. Jack is the one who meets Ginta Toramizu early in his adventure when he and Babbo stumble upon his garden. After Jack helps him beat the Rugelu Brothers (a pair of werewolves that were terrorizing Jack's home to claim the farm's vegetables), he and Ginta becomes best friends and joins Ginta on his journey.

Daisuke Sakaguchi

Snow

Utama

Female

Snow is fun-loving and easy-going but can be serious in battle situations, and is notable for the fact that she looks and acts exactly like Koyuki, Ginta's crush in the real world - her own alternate versions, with whom she shares views of each other's world, and an affection toward Ginta, and was also Ginta's first kiss. She gets jealous whenever Dorothy gets too close to Ginta. [source: wikipedia]

Candice

Pendukung

A sadomasochistic woman who relishes physical pains in a fight as pleasures, before joining the Chess, Candice was a mercenary officer, and was feared by many for her violent and abusing personality. After a defeat to Phantom, however, Candice fell in love with Phantom and followed him. Though this remains largely an unreciprocal passion, Candice still endeavours to undertake many demanding tasks (e.g. taking on powerful enemies) to get Phantom's commends, and is resolute to obliterate whoever obstructs his way. Candice first appeared during Phantom's revival and informed him that Queen Diana summoned him. During the Chess Pieces' war campaign, Candice single-handedly defeats the soldiers at Castle Geirelulu using Gorgon to turn them into stone. Candice reappeared during the 5th Round of the War Games and fought to a draw with Jack. After Phantom's defeat, Candice accompanies Phantom to Lestava's castle, and in the manga witnesses his death while he rests on his throne. In the anime Candice tries to help him escape from the pursuit by Team MÄR in the end of the Ghost Chess attack. Though this ends unsuccessfully, it deeply touches Phantom and partly lets him die in peace, knowing he after all isn't so hated. Her last appearance is with the revived Rolan, visiting Phantom's grave.

Kumi Sakuma

Gido

Pendukung

A pawn from the Chess No Koma. has a romance with Ian, a rook from the Chess. She wants to help him become a Knight.

Megumi Toyoguchi

Phantom

Pendukung

The commander-in-chief of Chess Piece army's combat force and the strongest warrior of the Knight class (aka the Zodiac Knights). Phantom is a callous, sadistic individual who revels in bloodshed and destruction and, with his body rendered unkillable by the immortalizing power of the Zombie Tattoo, is one of the most fearsome beings to ever walked MÄR-Heaven. His overwhelming power and charisma makes him the object of fear and respect, in some cases even love, of many Chess Piece members.

Mitsuki Saiga

Rolan

Pendukung

At some point early in Rolan's childhood, Rolan's parents died to unknown circumstances, leaving a poor and starving Rolan to live on the streets. Rolan was always ignored by the others, and Rolan himself would have died under such a living eventually. At one point, a number of kids stealing food bumped into Rolan and left a large amount of food around him, leaving the owner of the stolen food to blame Rolan and severely abuse him, putting Rolan in an even worse state than before. Just after this, Rolan was found by Phantom, the leader of the Chess Pieces. Phantom became the only one to treat Rolan with kindness, giving him food to survive. Just before Phantom left, he asked Rolan if he would follow him, which was followed by Rolan taking Phantom's hand and the two walking out of Rolan's home village together. Rolan, having a wish to serve Phantom, would join the Chess Pieces. According to Alan, Rolan fought in the first War Games as a Rook or Bishop which he is now a Knight. He battled Alviss 3 times two of which he lost. He's a stone manipulator. He lives for Phantom and shares a zombie tattoo like Alviss. The reason behind his following Phantom so desperately lies in that he doesn't want to have the pain of having someone leave him like his parents did that left him in such a state. Even though Phantom haven't really shown love towards him, Rolan still fights for the sake of eternity and Phantom.

Susumu Chiba

Halloween

Pendukung

Halloween is the second strongest Knight and the third in command, losing out to Peta only for the latter's intelligence. Halloween was abandoned as a child by his parents, who gave him the name of Pump, and was often bullied by other children in his town. During his childhood, Pump also developed a penchant for dismembering small animals, such as dogs. Despite this and the town's disliking towards him, Pump's childhood friends, Alan, still remained friends with him. One day, however, Alan showed Pump an ÄRM that creates flames. Attracted to it, Pump thieved the ÄRM, murdered the children who bullied him, and left the village, but not before telling Alan they would always be different people. At some point, Pump joined the Chess Pieces, and, taking on the title of Halloween and chaining himself to a cross ÄRM, would eventually rise to the rank of Knight. As fate would have it, Halloween would fight Alan, who had joined the Cross Guard, and the fight ended in a draw. Even to today Halloween still holds a deep hatred for Alan inside of his crippled heart.

Dai Matsumoto

Galian

Pendukung

Galian was the first boss, and founder, of the Luberian Thieves guild in MÄR Heaven. But a little while after he came across, saved the life of, named, and accepted Nanashi into the guild, he ended up making him the new leader by passing on the ÄRM called the Electric Eye. He also erased any memories Nanashi had of him before he abandoned the guild to become a Chess Piece, seeking more power. Now, he's a knight-class Chess Piece, a traitor, and the target of Nanashi's revenge.

King

Pendukung

Ryuuzaburou Ootomo

Diana

Pendukung

Diana is a former citizen of Caldia, the island nation of witches and wizards off the Southern Continent of MÄR-Heaven. Very little is known about her time in Caldia, though from what is known Diana, and her sister Dorothy, belonged to an aristocratic wizarding family. It was Diana who trained Dorothy to use the ÄRM Zephyrus Broom, as indicated by a flashback in the anime, and it is also possible she was its original wielder. It is also known that she made dolls for Dorothy and repaired them when they were broken, one of which she later was the later Chess Pieces Knight Pinocchio. While to Caldian and her little sister she was a caring figure and a well-liked citizen, Dorothy says that Diana insatiably covet nearly everything since a young age. Source: Wikipedia

Michiko Neya

Peta

Pendukung

Very little is known about Peta's early background. At some point he would befriend Phantom, a Kaldean outlaw and eventually the strongest Knight, some point before Phantom received the Zombie Tattoo. hortly before that Peta witnessed the breakup of Phantom and his lover, the Vestrian Alma. At some point, apparently after Alviss, Peta would receive Phantom's Zombie Tattoo, wishing to walk the path of destruction together for all eternity. After the formation of the Chess Piece army, Peta quickly gained Knighthood and became the Knights' strategic officer. Peta, however, did not fight in the previous War Games, choosing instead to broadcast the battles throughout MÄR-Heaven.

Kouichi Toochika

Chimera

Pendukung

Chimera's appearance, masked or unmasked, is generally anomalous for her gender. She usually dons a ghastly skeletal mask with a green wig attached to it, concealing her blonde hair color (the green color is possibly exclusive to only the anime, however, as the cover of volume 13 shows a blonde-haired masked Chimera). Since her enlisting for the Chess Pieces she's fashioned her hair spiky, a mode far more commonly styled for males, and (exclusively for the anime) builds up her stature into a more masculine form, misleading people about her actual gender. In addition to these extraordinary outward features, Chimera's facial appearance carries hideously unique traits: she wears a grotesque mass of eyeballs on the left side of her face, stitches a horizontal black line on the scar across her nose's bridge, and seasons the overall gruesome sight by piercing her Knight insignia earring on the tip of her tongue.

Mie Sonozaki

Ian

Pendukung

On the surface, Ian appears to be a laid-back, jovial young man who (even when he was still a low-ranked Rook) is one of the few Chess Pieces to have the daring to be blunt and disrespectful towards his superiors. This ranges from addressing the senior Loco "-chan" in spite of her insistence on their age gap, to talking back to Halloween who is one of the highest-ranked Knights, and in his quest for vengeance later on, challenging even the Knights. Ian's amiable manners, however, belies the lethal, battle-thrilled fighter he can be in the battlefield. Once driven by determination he is relentless in his pursuit, be it a simple case of getting the fight he enjoys or the venture to eliminate a superior sworn enemy. Ian's tenacity is prone to lead him go against his orders, and Ian admits because of it, he is always mentally prepared for death penalty.

Shinji Kawada

Weasel

Pendukung

Weasel is the oldest of the Knights (84 years old), but nevertheless a nimble fighter. He is easily distinguished due to his eccentric appearance with a tree growing out of his head containing all his magic power, and always seen holding a wood cane inside which he hides all his ÄRMs. As a Chess Piece he's wicked, but is overall an amicable figure to his Chess fellows, and is civil enough towards his opponents.

Kenichi Ogata

Venus

Pendukung

Sayaka Oohara

Ash

Pendukung

Ash is easily distinguished by his mask: a grim reaper skull with its tongue sticking out. Ash joined the Chess Pieces in the hopes on using their immense power to conquer the world, ending all other wars countries might bring up, preventing the deaths of the children he loves. Ash's personality is rather unusual on Chess Piece standards, being both playful and fun-loving. Ash prefers to solve matters without fighting, urging the other knights during a meeting not to deal with Rapunzel's insolence. Phantom himself, who is one of the Knights' more sadistic members, states that he could never hate Ash, as he is "just that sort of person". Ash is almost always seen enjoyably playing with children, usually Defu, Ko, and Benni, three children he rescued from the war, when not fighting a battle. Ash is also very willing to take punishment, sometimes volunteering to be punished when he felt he did something wrong. Galian also states that Ash is usually not one to give up in battle. Ash's original design had little differences from his original one, the most notable being having a regular mask rather than a skull one.

Katsuyuki Konishi

Pinocchion

Pendukung

12th strongest Knight and the smallest of the Knights, Pinocchio was once a marionnette made by Diana for her little sister Dorothy when Dorothy was a child, and was apparently animated to life upon joining the Chess Pieces. In the 6th round, he was ordered to defeat Dorothy if he wished to become human. Like his namesake, his nose grows when he lies, but it transforms into a cannon after about three lies and can be used to shoot his opponents. In the War Games at the Mushroom Field, he is ripped apart by Dorothy's ÄRM Toto, his remains salvaged by Chaton by the end of the 6th Round. In a filler episode, he was rebuilt with wagon wheels. Alongside Kouga and Girom, they ambushed Dorothy, Ginta and Alviss where Pinocchio destroyed Dorothy's Andarta at the time when Babbo gets cracked. After being repelled, Diana then sent them to capture Caldia's Grand Elder only to be defeated by Dorothy and Ginta. Also in the anime, they were last seen riding Kouga's Kung Fu Frog somewhere. A Weapon ÄRM user.
