Characters in "Lo Sobrenatural"
Ian begins his supernatural journey with a series of troubling dreams about a young lady walking down a foggy, deserted sidewalk, crying desperately. Soon after the dreams begin, he starts hearing voices and is constantly annoyed by a (most of the time faint) buzzing noise in his head. At times, the voices and buzzing sound intensify and are discovered to be demonic attacks that are to keep Ian from discovering the meaning of his dreams (as the dreams are messages from God). It is revealed early in the story that Ian was once a church-goer, but was hurt by the inconsiderate treatment by the
Christian Church of those in need and becameagnostic . Ian once stated that "Jesus is after me in my dreams, and thedemons are trying to kill me when I'm awake."Minako is an easy going girl with a bit of a temper. She easily befriends people and cares deeply for those she is close to. She will try anything once and enlists the help of her newly befriended Myu to help Ian using magic. Minako also had a brief conversation with Keigo while he was getting coffee once. Minako is not a Christian but has a good heart. It is not clear in the storyline as of yet whether or not she will become a Christian.
Keigo as stated earlier is a devout Christian. He attends one of the few Christian churches in Japan, has a thriving street ministry, and a steady prayer life. It was also revealed that he is an excellent artist. Keigo still struggles with doubt, however. He at times becomes angry with God when he does not understand what is going on. God has put Ian on Keigo's heart and Keigo can tell that Ian is looking for peace and understanding. Ian and Keigo have only encountered each other on occasion but each time Keigo has relentlessly witnessed to Ian, once even going as far as dragging an unconscious Ian to the church to pray.
Very little has been revealed about Myu. It seems as though she is a lonely girl with few friends and is comforted by her ability to perform magic. Myu is also troubled by a recent series of dreams, however hers involve a young man frozen in a block of ice. She is searching for true life and is mentored in the dark arts by Nojima, an even more mysterious man who claimed to have been sent to Myu by God.
