List of Genesis of Aquarion characters

This is a list of characters from the anime series "Genesis of Aquarion".

Element Users

Youngsters with special powers gathered from around the world and trained by Deava in order to pilot the Vector Machines.

;Apolloanime voices|Takuma Terashima|Christopher Bevins The main protagonist. Apollo is an orphan that has grown up in a group of homeless children. His name was given to him by his best friend Baron, who acted like an older brother to him for most of his life. Apollo possesses a kind heart and a noble spirit behind his rude, aggressive and bestial behavior. He has very sharp reflexes and senses, similar to an animal. His characteristics cause few to believe the rumor that he is the reincarnation of Apollonius, also called the "Solar Wing".

Apollo gradually learns and acquires new talents, as well as showing his amazing ability to pilot the Aquarion. Eventually it is found that he is only part of Apollonius' soul, and in the last episode he sacrifices himself, along with Toma and Sirius, to restore the world. However, he promises Silvia that he'll be back in 12,000 years, although it's never explained precisely why that time in particular.

;Silvia de Alisiaanime voices|Yumi Kakazu|Brina Palencia The female protagonist. A noble from the Alisia family and a reincarnation of Apollonius's human lover Celiane, she possesses great physical strength and a great admiration for her older brother, who she thinks he is the real reincarnation of the "Solar Wing". She always argues with Apollo, not only because she thinks he is an imposter, but also because of his rude habits and untamed nature. She has dreams of Celiane's past.

For much of the series she acts like a brat, always hanging off her brother and attempting to sabotage his romantic relationships. But as the story progresses, she starts to develop strong feelings for Apollo. We also discover that she has the "light" half of Celiane's soul, while her brother has the "dark" half; this explains her jealous crush on him. In the final episode, she bids farewell to Apollo as he sacrifices himself, but knows he will return someday.

;Sirius de Alisiaanime voices|Tomokazu Sugita|Eric Vale Silvia's older brother. Obsessed with his own concepts of aesthetics and perfection, he is also a great swordsman. Many people, including Sirius himself, believe that he is the true reincarnation of the "Solar Wing", and thus Sirius despises Apollo. Despite his love for his sister, Sirius is often annoyed with her because her adoration of him involves romantic love, and she jealously tries to sabotage his potential relationship with Reika.

As it becomes more obvious that Apollo is the true "Solar Wing", his jealousy consumes his mind, eventually provoking him to take drastic measures. He attempts to stop Silvia from helping Apollo, and subsequently finds out that he is also the reincarnation of Celiane -- but the dark side of her soul. Sirius redeems himself when, along with Toma and Apollo, he sacrifices himself to save the world.

;Hong Lihuaanime voices|Sanae Kobayashi|Colleen Clinkenbeard Best known as Reika. She is a sensitive girl who has the strange ability of causing misfortune to those around her. This causes most people to avoid approaching her, with the exception of Sirius who nurtures strong feelings for her, and spends many episodes attempting to connect with her. Reika tries to avoid contact with people in general because she believes that her misfortune caused an accident that put her boyfriend Glen in a coma. However, Reika eventually manages to overcome her rotten luck, and turn it into a weapon.

;Pierre Vieiraanime voices|Masaya Onosaka|Travis Willingham A soccer star player, he is by far the most hyperactive of the Element Users, with more than the double of serotonine levels than any of the rest. Always trying to flirt with Deava's female residents, Pierre hides the pain of a lost love from the past, whom he abandoned in order to join the fight against the Shadow Angels. His "Fire Kick" attack is a perfect combination of his passion for soccer, and his burning spirit.

Despite his teasing and flirtatiousness, Pierre is among the most clear-sighted Element Users, able to see attractions and fears in more conflicted individuals like Silvia and Apollo. He can also be very kind, as in his behavior toward Reika. At the end of the series, he helps Reika defeat the Angels.

;Tsugumi Rosenmeieranime voices|Tsugumi Higasayama|Laura Bailey A shy girl with a sad past. With the ability to explode things from a distance when her pulse reaches its peak, she was always estranged from friends and family. Because of her power, over which she still doesn't have full control, she sometimes creates some accidental explosions. This scenario started to change when Tsugumi found some real friends in Deava, including her roommate Reika, for whom she has great affection. Judging by her actions towards Reika and the official website's character correlation chart, one can assume that Tsugumi is a lesbian.

;Jun Leeanime voices|Daisuke Sakaguchi|Todd Haberkorn The group's resident "otaku". Has the ability to see through solid objects with his "Mind Eye Photography" technique which allows him to quickly target the weak points of enemies. Excels in handling computers and machines. Like Tsugumi, Jun rarely enters in action, spending most of the time operating the computers at Deava's control room.

;Glen Andersonanime voices|Yuto Kazama|Mike McFarland A close friend of Sirius and Reika. The three were the first elements to perform a successful union, but this partnership ended abruptly when an accident put Glen in a coma. Sirius and Reika visited him regularly, until he mysteriously disappeared. Later, they discover he was being used in an experiment conducted by the military, in their search for new ways to fight the Shadow Angels. He dies fighting Moroha.

;Rena Runeanime voices|Hiromi Satou|Carrie Savage A little girl who is wheelchair-bound, is blind and looks to be albino. Though she is blind, she can apparently read "The Book of Holy Genesis", a scripture that contains the history of the conflict that happened between the Shadow Angels and humans 12,000 years ago. The other element users at Deava are intimidated by her with the exception of Apollo, believing that she is a vampire. This seems to be true, since in one episode she bites Apollo with fangs, drinks some blood and declares him "delicious." Her Element Powers allow her to levitate, teleport and drain Prana from people.

;Chloe and Kurt Klick"Chloe" anime voices|Romi Paku|Caitlin Glass "Kurt" anime voices|Romi Paku|Justin Cook
Fraternal twins who can communicate telepathically. They very rarely take part in combat, instead controlling and monitoring the computers in Deava's control room. Chloe is apparently very earnest about things and doesn't talk to people much and Kurt is fairly enough the same. When it becomes apparent that a relationship is developing between Chloe and Pierre, Kurt becomes a little embarrassed of his sister, often putting his hand to his face and shaking his head.

Deava Operatives

;Gen Fudouanime voices|Unshou Ishizuka|Brandon Potter He conducted the expedition that retrieved the Vector Machines, and disappeared mysteriously since then. When the elements' battle against the Shadow Angels started, he returned in order to assume his position as Deava's supreme commander. Very knowledgeable of the human nature, he uses this wisdom to guide the pilots in order to help them to surpass their limitations and increase their teamwork. It is hinted that he piloted Vector Mars 12,000 years ago alongside of Apollonius and Celiane.

;Jean-Jerome Jorgeanime voices|Nobuo Tobita|Jason Liebrecht Deava's second-in-command. He's arrogant, pessimistic, quick to judge and somewhat pretentious. Almost the exact opposite of Commander Fudou, Jerome tend to not agree with or understand his actions.

;Sophia Belinanime voices|Sakiko Tamagawa|Stephanie Young Deava's top scientist and third-in-command. She's very kind when compared to Jerome and a lot less up-tight. Sophia acts as the teacher in the Element User's mental training classes.

Minor human characters

;Baronanime voices|Susumu Chiba|Zach Bolton Baron is Apollo's best friend. He was charged with the task of taking care of the other orphans, but before ever meeting them he met Apollo in a concentration camp. He shared his food with Apollo and the two of them then became local thieves. Baron named Apollo after seeing a him walk out of the lake he was swimming in with the sun behind his back. After being captured by the shadow Angels, saving him and the other orphans was Apollo's true reason to fight with Aquarion.

;Chibi-koanime voices|Mayumi Yoshida|Leah Clark Chibi-ko is another orphan that was captured with Baron and the others. She had an important role in Episode 19 and 26 at the end.

Shadow Angels

;Tomaanime voices|Toshiyuki Morikawa|J. Michael Tatum The main antagonist and Apollonius's onetime partner, who was left behind when Apollonious fell in love with Celiane. Even 12,000 years later he could never forget his treason, but still has feelings for him. Because of it he is one of the Angels who despise humans at most. He plans to use Aquarion's power to repair the tree of life, but in order to make it possible, he needs to make Aquarion manifest the true power of the "Solar Wings", and thus he prepares ordeals and trials to the elements, especially Apollo, in order to make them stronger.

Knowing that Apollonius would be reincarnated in 12,000 years, Toma apparently put himself in suspended animation, and was awoken by Otoha around the time Apollo was found by the Element Users. Toma is still passionately in love with Apollo/Apollonious, and quite openly admits this to Apollo early in the series, much to the boy's confusion. He eventually redeems himself somewhat by joining Sirius, Aquarion and Apollo in reviving the Tree of Life, and sacrificing himself in the process -- ironically being permanently reunited with the man he loved.

;Otohaanime voices|Mako Hyoudou|Monica Rial Touma's faithful servant, she loves him with jealousy. She hates Apollonius and Celiane, not only because they destroyed Atlantis 12,000 years ago, but also because their love makes Toma suffer so much.

;Johannesanime voices|Shin Aomori|Vic Mignogna The eldest and leader of the Shadow Angels. Johannes's true appearance is never revealed, as he is always draped in robes and chains and wears a metal mask. He appears to be missing the bottom half of his body, so he is constantly suspended from the ceiling in the main altar of Atlantis. He also appears to have no arms. In the English Version, Randy Tallman was originally cast as Johannes but due to his untimely death, Vic Mignogna was brought in to play the character.

;Morohaanime voices|Kazuki Yao|Barry Yandell A Shadow Angel Warrior "who knows no equal". Moroha seems to be the most hot-blooded one of them all and is the only Shadow Angel who enjoys fighting. He prides himself as being the strongest warrior alive and likes to toy with his opponents, gauging their strength. He doubts Toma's ability to kill the Solar Wing and criticizes him for it. Unlike the other Shadow Angels, Moroha resembles an insect; he has six eyes (some covered by a bandage-like scarf), horns and insect-like wings on his back that don't seem to have feathers.

;Lensianime voices|Unshō Ishizuka|R. Bruce Elliott The architect of the Shadow Angels that designs and creates the Cherubim Soldiers that Deava does battle with. He is said to possess the fingers of God.

;Shilha"Voiced by:" Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Antimere Robinson (Ep. 12, 14), Paul Slavens (Ep. 17, 19) (English) In the American Dub this character's name has been changed to Shiruha. Resembles a blue lion with a large, human-like head and wings on its back. He acts as Futaba's caretaker.

;Futabaanime voices|Tomoko Kawakami|Luci Christian The only child angel who survived Atlantis' destruction 12,000 years before. Like a boy playing joyfully with ants, he often plays with the "Wingless ones'" lives. Often, he had no hesitation in finding ways to have fun even at the cost of them. However, his childish manners eventually cost him dearly. His death is the last straw for Toma who promptly seeks out revenge against the humans. His wings are located at his ankles.
