Arakune
A scientist who once worked at Sector Seven.
In his attempt to surpass his mentor Kokonoe, he profusely chased the ‘truths’ of the world, but came too close to the Boundary. As a result, he lost his human form and memories, turning into a creature obsessed with seeking the ‘Azure.’ His body is linked directly to the Boundary, and is comprised of a near-infinite amount of bugs. ‘Arakune’ is how he is commonly known - especially on wanted posters.
Its sense of values is no longer close to what it was while human. Its words often sound like gibberish, but what is understood is its purpose to seek even greater knowledge. Furthermore, maintaining its physical state is extremely difficult, which is why it consumes humans and members of the Kaka Clan to survive.
There have been recorded responses to the names Litchi and Kokonoe, but clearly its memory is shattered.
That became even more evident when prolonged exposure to Litchi cornered it into a state of complete mental agitation. That is, until Relius Clover rescued the creature and took it under his control. Now, Arakune continues to seek the Azure, confined by the strings attached to Relius’s hands.[1]
Lotte Carmine (Roy)
His nickname is Roy, and he eventually becomes Arakune.
He was a genius alchemist working at Sector Seven, but had uncompromisable differences with Kokonoe. The two would clash frequently, but were able to maintain a certain level of balance within the lab.
That is, until he disobeys Kokonoe’s orders in the pursuit of truth and knowledge by coming too close to the Boundary. He becomes obsessed with finding the Azure, and eventually transforms into a monster.[2]
