Crimson Grave - Characters

Characters

So far the characters of crimson grave can be classified as either normal humans, Crimsons, monsters or descendants of the gods.

• Ash Grave is a descendant of the god of death and the main character of the manga. He is often called the "Black-winged Devil" by many humans in the series due to both his past actions and due to propaganda by the other hidden Descendents of the Gods. He was originally a blood thirsty monster who killed anything in his wake until, eight hundred years ago, a little human girl named Mia healed his wounds after an unknown incident. It was from her that he received the idea of killing being abhorrent because all living being have the possibility for good regardless of their ancestry or past actions. After his brethren discovered his "betrayal" they killed Mia, and Ash vowed to kill every single one of his kin, either in response to her death or because of other yet-unrevealed events. Their possibilities, he says, are closed; they cannot be redeemed. As a powerful Descendent of the Gods, Ash possesses super-human strength and speed, can regenerate and fly, and has been shown to manipulate darkness as an attack. Almost inevitably, his actions are interpreted by the humans he saves as yet another monstrous murder, with only a few knowing the truth. It's hinted that he was a companion of the original ten Crimsons who defeated the Descendents of the Gods long ago. He's somewhat laid back and cheerful in personality and possesses a mildly lecherous streak when it comes to Mirim.

• Mirim Ixus is a young member of the Ten Pillar Swords Guild and a wielder of one of the ten legendary crimson blades forged by the gods to vanquish evil. Due to the blade's power she possesses super human speed and strength and has been shown to be able to demolish entire buildings in a single stroke. She was traumatized by the destruction of her village by a descendant of the gods who looks exactly like Ash Grave; such a figure is shown in an early chapter and identified as a "descendent of the death god like Ash". Mirim has vowed to kill him, no matter what the cost. She's tends to be somewhat straight-laced and righteous, but a little clumsy and naive. She wears her hair in two pig-tails usually, and is noted to have a large amount of cleavage. She is also hinted to like Ash. Her kohai is Rena-chan, who seems to have wild fantasies about Mirim, which always cause a big misunderstanding. She is often put into harassing situations.
