The
Heroes |
|
Vash
the Stampede |
Also
known as The Humanoid Typhoon and the $$60 Billion Man, Vash is a
legendary gunman with a mysterious past. Following his belief of love
and peace, Vash always avoids killing his enemies. But it's not easy
when trouble follows you wherever you go. |
|
Nicholas
D. Wolfwood |
Wolfwood
may be a priest, but his shooting skills are actually quite comparable
to that of Vash's. Wolfwood hates using firearms, as he also tries
to avoid killing others. He always looks out for the children, and
carries a giant cross for "special occasions." |
The
Good Guys |
|
Meryl
Stryfe |
Meryl
was sent by the Bernardelli Insurance Society to follow Vash and prevent
him from causing damage to the cities. She has trouble believing that
such an irresponsible moron could possibly be the Humanoid Typhoon. |
|
Milly
Thompson |
She
is Meryl's partner in their mission to monitor Vash's actions. Although
she may not be the brightest of the group, Milly can always be counted
on when the situation calls for help. |
|
Rem
Saverem |
Rem
took care of Vash and Knives when they were just children. She is
also the source of Vash's love and peace beliefs. Rem is just one
of the many mysteries hidden within the Trigun series. |
|
Frank
Marlin |
Frank
is a blacksmith who specializes in guns. He taught his whole town
how to defend themselves against the robbers, and was at one point
a local hero, until his life fell apart. |
|
Kaito
|
This
young boy is more than what he seems. After the death of his family,
Kaito's life was easily misguided to the benefit of the Badlad gang.
His knowledge of the Sand Steamer makes him a valuable ally of Brilliant
Dynamites Neon. |
|
Brad
|
Brad
is a well respected member of the flying ship. Just like the other
passengers, he doesn't trust outsiders. Brad is a good gun-fighter,
but he tends to let his anger get the best of him. |
|
Jessica |
The
one whom Brad is in love with happens to like Vash, which is one of
the reasons why Brad tends to be bitter. Even when she was a little
girl, Jessica had a crush on Vash. |
The
Bad Guys |
|
Loose
Ruth |
The
bounty hunter known as Constance Rifle happens to be one of the many
who seek out the reward for Vash's capture. Ruth follows the town
rumors to seek out his target, whether they are true or not. |
|
Professor
Nebraska |
The
professor is the brains behind the Nebraska family, which consists
of himself and his "son" Gofsef. They are deadly outlaws
whom few dare to confront. There is a $$700,000 reward for their recapture. |
|
Gofsef
Nebraska |
Gofsef
may not be able to do a whole lot on his own, but what he can do makes
up more than his share of the family duties. Standing at about 35
feet tall and equipped with a massive projectile fist, Gofsef is virtually
unstoppable. |
|
Patricia
Nebraska |
Bearing
a clear resemblance to Gofsef, Patricia is the mother of Gofsef, Marilyn,
Tonkichi, Chinpei and Kanta. Her main fighting technique is throwing
her three sons, which can surprisingly cause large explosions without
even hurting her children. |
|
Marilyn
Nebraska |
How
she became part of the family isn't explained, but she is the daughter
of Patricia Nebraska. Marilyn acts as the leader of her group, and
stands on Patricia's shoulders to scope out their target. |
|
Tonkichi,
Chinpei, and Kanta Nebraska |
They
appear to be at least partially mechanical, and all three of them
look exactly alike from each other. The only way they attack is by
forming into spheres and be thrown by Patricia, causing explosions
on impact. |
|
The
Badlad
Gang |
These
villians are notorious within the canyon regions, and are known to
ambush passing vehicles. They are well trained in hijacking and looting,
and they are characterized by their strange masks and neon outfits. |
|
Brilliant
Dynamites Neon |
B.D.N.
is the leader of the Badlads. He is very skillful with weapons, particularly
his neon pistol and Dynamo guns on his shoulders. He always goes for
the flashy and high style approach for everything. |
The
Main Villains |
|
Millions
Knives |
Little
is known about this mysterious brother of Vash, and what is known
is vague. Knives is a maniacal antagonist who is insistent on
killing off the spider (humanity) to save the butterfly (he and Vash). |
|
Legato
Bluesummers |
Legato
seeks to destroy all of mankind after the downfall of Vash. He appears
shrewd and peaceful, but Legato's skills are targeted at his victims'
minds. Legato can communicate telepathically, and can control the
bodies of his enemies. He is Knives's obedient servant. |
The
Gung-Ho-Guns |
|
Monev
the Gale |
Sent
by Legato, his mission is to destroy Vash the Stampede. After 20 years
of confinement, Monev will seek his freedom and mercilessly execute
the task using brute force and intense firepower. |
|
Dominique
the Cyclops |
Dominique
is the 2nd Gung-Ho-Gun. Beneath her patch is the demon eye, which
allows her to move beyond the detection of human senses, giving the
illusion of super speed. |
|
Hoppered
the Gauntlet |
Perhaps
the most unusual of the Gung-Ho-Guns, Hoppered the Gauntlet is the
3rd member of the team. He modified his body to the point that he
no longer appears human, but he is able to fly through the air like
a top and fire out of his indestructible Götterer. |
|
Zazie
the Beast |
Under
the alias Bete, nobody knew that this child was the 4th Gung-Ho-Gun.
He seems to have conflicting feelings between good and bad, although
he claims to be in complete control. Speaking of which, he has a device
which allows him to control sandworms. |
|
Mine
the E. G. Mine |
The
5th Gung-Ho-Gun uses a spherical spike shield as his main weapon.
With his fingers wired to the inside of the shell, he can launch each
individual spike with great accuracy. |
|
Leonof
the Puppetmaster |
The
Puppetmaster commands his creations using a small red orb between
his hands. His puppets appear so life-like, that its hard to tell
between the real and the fake. He can also talk through them, and
make them collapse into small pieces. |
|
Gray
the Ninelives |
The
secret to the man with the nine lives is that he is actually a near
indestructible machine. Gray is fully loaded with bullets and rockets,
which he fires from various parts of his body. |
|
Caine
the Longshot |
Caine
is an expert sniper who can hit his target from across town. He carries
an extremely long rifle and wears a cape that conceals him within
his surroundings. There is no safe place to hide when Caine is on
duty. |
|
Rai-Dei
the Blade |
Rai-Dei,
the 9th Gung-Ho-Gun, is a master of japanese sword-fighting. He thirsts
for a good fight, and hopes to find it through Vash. Rai-Dei is devoted
to finding the spiritual awareness that can only be discovered on
the virge of death. |
|
Chapel
the Evergreen |
Like Wolfwood, Chapel carries a crucifix which can transform
into a powerful weapon. He was the one who personally trained
Wolfwood and has come back to see his pupil's progress.
|
|
Midvalley
the Hornfreak |
The
11th of the Gung-Ho-Guns acts as Legato's right-hand man. His saxaphone
(which he named Sylvia) is capable of sending powerful sound waves
that can even cumble walls and deflect bullets. |
