The primary playable characters of Nexus Break are known simply as Reincarnations. These individuals are modern humans carrying the dormant souls of the gods, demons, yokai, cryptids, and legendary beings that perished during the Records of Ragnarok. At the beginning of the story they possess:
- No divine abilities.
- No enhanced Qi.
- No Divine Armament.
- No Physical Manifestation.
Their only connection to their previous life is their personality. Every reincarnation naturally displays subtle behavioral traits reminiscent of their mythological counterpart without becoming identical copies.
Examples include:
Examples include:
- A reincarnation of Shiva may unconsciously dance while thinking or fighting.
- A reincarnation of Son Wukong enjoys practical jokes, playful banter, and challenging authority.
- A reincarnation of Odin may constantly pursue knowledge regardless of personal risk.
- A reincarnation of Anubis may possess an unusually calm respect toward death and the deceased.
These characteristics are intended as inspirations rather than complete personality templates. Players retain complete freedom to design their character's appearance, history, relationships, and identity. Physical appearance is never influenced by the reincarnated deity until Physical Manifestation occurs. Characters generally range from middle school students through college-age young adults, reflecting the era in which the story takes place.
