IKKI (Phoenix) Sex: Male Ikki is the resident badass of Saint Seiya. He comes in consumed by hate from his hellish training on Death Queen Island, perfectly willing and able to annihilate all his childhood friends - even his younger brother, who he later makes it his life purpose to protect. After he comes around, Ikki becomes an invaluable ally. Though he can be a blazing inferno in battle, his most devastating attack is one that assaults the mind with its own worst fears. True to his constellation, Ikki is neigh unkillable, rising from the ashes every time he falls.

SISYPHUS (Sagittarius) Sex: Male Sisyphus is perhaps Athena's purest, most loyal Saint. After being pierced with his own arrow by Hades, he got stuck in limbo by his guilt from thinking that his role in separating Athena from her childhood friend Alone triggered the Holy War. After shaking off those bonds, he returned as the selfless protector he is. Sisyphus gouged out his eyes in a battle to protect a sacred ship, and shortly thereafter ripped out his own heart so that Athena's army could gain entrance to Hades. Although this was undoubtedly a fatal move, he still got back up long enough to help his fellow Gold Saints cast Athena Exclamation before succumbing to death.

MU (Aries) Sex: Male Mu..... fixes armor. This seems to be the purpose for his existence. At least that's the impression you come away with from the original TV series. In actuality, this level-headed, soft-spoken Gold Saint of Aries is a crafty and fearsome opponent. He's great at both offense and defense, as well as a number of other tricks such as teleportation and telekinesis. One of the three Gold Saints who saw through the false Pope's deception, Mu lived as a hermit in the land of Jamir. He has a quiet wisdom about him that few would question.

MILO/KARDIA (Scorpio) Sex: Male The Scorpio Saints don't mess around. Their signature red nail injects unimaginable pain into their prey. Milo prefers to bleed people to death, wreaking havoc on their central nervous system, while Kardia would rather set his victims' blood on fire and incinerate their heart. Both are equally bloodthirsty, although Milo is smug and practical about it, and Kardia is a lot more enthusiastic. But despite all this, they are very honorable warriors who value passion and pride.

SHIRYU (Draco) Sex: Male Shiryu's talents are stripping, bleeding, and going blind. I don't know where he gets his shirts, but I'm starting to suspect they're rigged with explosives designed to go off in his enemy's face. Despite being honorable to a fault, Shiryu is exceptionally lethal. Where others fail, he will find a way to dispatch an opponent, no matter the cost to himself. Yes, nobody survives Shiryu. O.o;; He's the most disciplined and selfless of the Bronze Saints. |

HYOGA (Cygnus) Sex: Male Hyoga is a range fighter with dominion over the cold. That said, he sure is emotional for an ice-wielder. His motivation for becoming a Saint was solely to become powerful enough to be reunited with his mother, who currently resides aboard a ship... on the bottom of the ocean floor... quite dead. Creepy. Hyoga never quite gets over his attachment to his mother, and this goes a long way towards impeding his progress as a Saint. Still, his human frailties are endearing in both a pathetic and sym-pathetic way. |

DOHKO (Libra) Sex: Male One of only two characters who is featured in both Saint Seiya and Lost Canvas in the same physical body (ie: survived the Holy War), Dohko is a force to be reckoned with. He was trained by a water dragon and now wields its power. His is also the only Gold armor that utilizes a shield and a whole arsenal of weapons, which allowed him to go against not one, not two, not even three, but a record of four powerful Spectres in one go! And who could forget how he inexplicably ditched his breastplate during that fight, too! He has quite the habit of doing this, and considering he trained Shiryu, maybe it explains why Shiryu can't keep a shirt on either.

MIME (Benetnasch) Sex: Male Mime exudes no killing intent. Do not be fooled by his pretty face and lithe frame. His sweet melody has lured many an unsuspecting warrior to their doom. Calm, centered, and deadly, Mime uses his lyre to confuse, bind, and tear asunder any who stand in his way. "The strong survive, the weak die" is what he tells himself, but underneath his icy demeanor is a lost little boy who misses his family. |

SHUN (Andromeda) Sex: Male A.K.A. "The Pink One" I have a love-hate relationship with Shun. He had a breathtaking entrance with so much promise, and then he screwed it all up by being a pacifist crybaby. I don't know, sometimes Shun's caring nature is very sweet and touching, but usually it just annoys the crap out of me, especially when he starts sabotaging his teammates. Shun actually packs quite a punch when provoked, but that takes a while, so he mostly gets his ass kicked. And when Shun's in trouble, his brother Ikki shows up like clockwork to help. I think I've actually developed a Pavlovian excitement response to Shun's battles since 50% of them end with Ikki. |

MISTY (Lacerta) Sex: Male Why do I like Misty? I don't even know. He (yes, he) just has this campy charm that I can't resist. Despite wearing pink tights to match his pink lipstick, Misty will gladly strip it all off to bathe in the ocean while admiring his own naked body. He is a walking parody of every arrogant, narcissistic girly man ever created. Or, I should say, was. For despite the throngs of Silver Saints who came to avenge him, Misty is still dead. Twice dead, actually. He will be missed. :( |

JIN Sex: Male Stoic, honorable, disciplined, and elegant samurai. He hardly talks, but when he does he is soft-spoken and polite. Though he seems aloof he is actually thoughtful and kind. |

MUGEN Sex: Male The exact opposite of Jin, Mugen is hot-headed, reckless, and vulgar. No real surprise in that since he used to be a pirate. Still, he is probably Jin's equal with a sword. |

WON SUL RANG Sex: Male Won Sul is Jushin's best swordsman. In fact, his swordsmanship is so good that his sword became invisible! He has learned to form blades using his own chi, sharpened by sheer killing intent. Yes, he has come a long way from the skittish, innocent young man he was while under Munsu's command. He now massacres all in his path without batting an eye. So useful he is, in fact, that Aji Tae brought him back from the dead to further his plans. Poor, poor boy. He goes through hell before he's allowed to rest. |

MUNSU Sex: Male Once a legendary
General of Jushin's army, Munsu lost his reputation, his
best friend, his lover, and his country due to the scheming
of Aji Tae. He became an Angyo Onshi, who are sworn to
uphold justice and help the weak, but Munsu couldn't be
farther from this ideal. He only helps those who help
themselves and insists that nobody should wait for miracles.
Although he comes off harsh and callous, his life has given
him good reason to bury his sensitive side under piles of
angst. More than anything he wishes to get revenge on Aji
Tae for destroying everything he held dear.

AJI TAE Sex: Male Aji Tae had a lot of potential. Following Taoist principles, he believed that "good" and "evil" were man-made constructs and desired to return humanity to a state before such delusions polluted their minds. He wanted all to be free. But, somewhere along the way, he took a wrong turn and veered off into crazy evil villain land. Aji is ridiculously overpowered, and spreads wanton destruction wherever he goes. While I mourn the squandered philosophical opportunities he presented, and facepalm at the stupidity of his death, he's still gorgeous and makes things interesting. |

AMELIA WIL TESLA SEYRUUN Sex: Female Amelia fights for love, friendship, and justice! Though she starts out a clumsy, annoying wreck, she slowly gains maturity throughout the series until you can finally see her for the Princess and heir to Seyruun that she is. Her primary role is that of a healer, but she is also skilled in astral spells and dabbles in black magic. |

SHOURYUU Sex: Male A.K.A. King of En Hail to the King, baby! His people loved him so much they came back and tried to help him fight a suicidal battle after he clearly told them to escape. Everyone died and he was very sad. Why must he be cursed with such ravishing good looks and likeable personality? WHY GOD WHY?!? |
