Steins;Gate

Rintarou Okabe

Age: 18 (Steins;Gate), 19 (Steins;Gate 0) Birthdate: December 14, 1991 (Sagittarius) Blood Type: A Height: 177 cm (5'10") Weight: 59kg Affiliations: Future Gadget Lab Occupation: University Student Rintaro Okabe (岡部 倫太郎 Okabe Rintarō?), often nicknamed Okarin (オカリン) or Hououin Kyouma (鳳凰院凶真), is a self-proclaimed mad scientist and the main protagonist of the Steins;Gate series. Okabe is a theatrical and eccentric individual. He is a self-proclaimed mad scientist, who likes to assume his "true name" "Kyouma Hououin" (鳳凰院凶真, Hououin Kyouma), and often uses this to introduce himself to others. Usually, people do not care and instead address him by his actual name or by 'Okarin' (his nickname), much to his chagrin. Okabe is also socially inept; his social skills were so poor that Kurisu considers the childlike Mayuri to be usual by comparison. However, he isn't hesitant to lend a helping hand to people whom he'd never met. Although very intelligent, Okabe is easily deceived by others. Okabe likes to pose as an agent working against a specific "Organization," which he suggests is always after him, as he believes this kind of image gives him an excellent and mysterious aura. However, this seems to disappear as the story progresses, with SERN likely replacing the "Organization's" villainous image. He usually gives off the impression of being delusional and paranoid, displaying eccentric mannerisms such as talking to himself on the phone and engaging in fits of maniacal laughter. >! It is later revealed that his 'mad scientist persona is essentially a façade to make life interesting for his dear childhood friend Mayuri. After her grandmother's death, Mayuri fell into deep despair, but Okabe snapped her out of it by acting like an anime character and declaring her his hostage. He later drops his Chuunibyou façade upon witnessing Mayuri's multiple deaths, revealing a serious side of himself he has not shown for the first half of the series. >! >! As a result of going through dozens of time-leaps, he becomes somewhat cynical, depressed, and frantic. He develops a guilt complex, believing himself to be responsible for everything that's happening and frequently blaming himself whenever something goes wrong, even when he had no control over it or couldn't possibly have seen it coming. >! After Kurisu's death in Steins;Gate 0, he becomes ever the more miserable, to the point of experiencing panic attacks from remote references to Makise Kurisu and having to consume anxiety medications actively. He had also abandoned the identity of Hououin Kyouma in its entirety, choosing to live as an ordinary university student to significant discomfort within his circle of friends.

Kurisu Makise

Age: 18 Birthdate: July 25 (Leo) Blood type: A Height: 160 cm Weight: 45 kg The female protagonist. Kurisu is a research member in Victor Qondria University's Brain Research Program. Her age group matches that of third-year high schoolers, but she skipped a grade through America's educational system. She is also famous in America for writing theses papers, part of which is covered in the news. Thanks to skipping a grade in America as a girl, she was envied by people around her, and ended up building a strong personality. She does not want to show weakness to others, so she always has a stern expression. However, she is very curious, and when she builds interest, she pokes into things. Occasionally, she has views that differ from regular opinions, such as, "The experiment data is more important than the subject's privacy." Rintarou often tells her, "Hey, you've got a pretty good sense of being a Mad Scientist," but she is not one to agree to such things personally. She is a tsundere. Rintarou has given her plenty of nicknames, in particular "Christina" (クリスティーナ) and "Assistant" (助手). >! In the future of the Alpha Attractor Field where SERN rules, Makise works for them. She made major contributions to the completion of SERN's time machine and was praised as "Mother of Time Machine." In the side story "The Far Valhalla," which explores Kurisu's, Okabe's, and Daru's fate after being captured by SERN, it's revealed that Okabe devised a plan to escape from SERN's headquarter in France, but as SERN learned that it would rule the world in the future, it let Okabe and Daru go in order to complete the cycle of fate. Kurisu gave up and stayed behind, but still believed that Okabe would be able to overcome fate. In 2034, she completed the time machine and was executed by SERN. Kurisu's allegiance with SERN in the future is the reason Suzuha, a member of the resistance against SERN's rule in 2036, is initially distrustful of her. However, Suzuha's opinion changes after she learns more about Kurisu's nature. >! >! Kurisu and her father are not on the best terms. When she was little, her father's lectures would fascinate her so much that she would read up on them herself. It was not long before she started getting into the science field. Because of her talent, she would always outsmart her own father, causing the two to come to bad terms. >! Kurisu develops feelings toward Okabe. (Source: naomi.thewafflehouse.net)

Mayuri Shiina

Age: 16 Birthday: February 1, 1994 Blood type: 0 Height: 152 cm Weight: 45 kg Size: 85-56-82 Second year in Kasensou Private Preparatory Academy. Childhood friend of Rintarou's, and slow by nature. Speaks in a very wavy manner, and seems to always be smiling and having fun. She's quite the optimist. She has trouble understanding complicated theories, but doesn't mind as long as it's enjoyable. Doesn't like people arguing, and is depressed when things are unpleasant. Though she'd like to ease the situation in such cases, she's not really good at reading between the lines. She often went with her grandmother to see the stars on her grandmother's back. Because of that, she has a habit of reaching her arm out to the sky at times, which has led Rintarou to naming it the "Stardust Shakehand." She abruptly does this (even if she's talking with someone), which surprises everyone around her. (Source: naomi.thewafflehouse.net)
