[The Founder] La+Darkness

The one who established Secret Society holoX. Originally known for her vast power and intelligence, most of that is now sealed away. She is vaguely aware of the debilitating nature of her shackles but doesn’t remember how they got there.

[The Manager] Takane Lui

The executive officer of the group. As holoX’s point of contact and the one in charge of external affairs, she acts as more of the leader of the group and handles things that La+Darkness cannot. While she seems standoffish at first glance, she’s very compassionate and cares for her subordinates.

In charge of research and development, she studies human behavior and tends to meddle in the other members’ affairs. She loves helping people and has a thirst for knowledge. Sometimes, she messes with people on purpose just to see how they react.
