I will briefly go over some character development notes for what I had intended certain characters to go through.
Rahtinah- Her agreeing to train Taiga was her attempt at socializing, which she is bad at. Generally speaking, Rah will not speak to most she doesn't know due to the way she speaks. Also it takes her some time to articulate her "Time dialated perception" due to how difficult it is to quite say it. But, over time she does open up and tries to be a bit more patient. She typically is less likely to 'help others' than Taiga is, initially, unless she really wants to.
Taiga-The designated 'leader' of the group, he can be bossy at times. Also, due to his stance on life, he is very much against killing, and this would cause some friction with E'elwaltz (Despite it very much being an accident, Taiga in his youth still exiled him). That said, he's generally dependable and is the most capable of general social interaction of the group.
Fennia- Generally speaking, she doesn't really want to live. Not so much suicidal (at least, not after she meets with Kolruu), but she has little desire to live. She's also a bit nuts and *will* laugh if she hears Yondards say something that can be construed as innuendo (when she was human Yolonda was not above some dirty jokes, and she knows that Yondards absolutely have no idea what coitus is) in a tourettes like fit. Except Mertens. Fennia knows that Mertens knows about humans so it's less funny. In any case, she does become closer to the others and reveals, eventually, that she lied about having amnesia.
Kolruu/Kira-Kolruu was a Yondard created by an incomplete Kira who remained dormant until after Rezzard betrayed him. Despite what Kira does, he wants what's best for Kolruu, but due to the nature of what Kira is, Kolruu has to eat other Yondards. Eventually, Kolruu will become a semi-pacifist, but largely because so long as Kira remains relatively dormant, and Kolruu refrains from using his abilities, he staves off the hunger for Yondards for much longer. He also has little to no respect for Taiga as a leader, finding him annoying and too bossy for his liking.
Mertens- Unlike the others, Mertens is a relatively late addition to give the other 4 of the main group an additional ally. While her personality is somewhat set, I haven't quite settled on themes yet.
Zumina- She does what she does purely to protect Minah, her creator. Prime wants some number of Yondards killed every so often and orders came down to Skubasti and Minah to take over Black Maw. But Minah did not want to hurt anyone and made Zumina to take her place. Minah is almost always around Zumina, but since Minah can turn invisible, almost no one notices her. Like Taiga, Zumina holds loyalty to somoene in high regard. It's just that Zumina had to do a lot of bad stuff to ensure Minah is safe.
Rongbok B'gok- It's hard to tell but he's very much someone who developed what he is thanks to kung fu movies (while sunlight hurts Yondards, electronic light is less fatal. Still, a young Rongbok made due). He does very much love Rahtinah as a daughter, but when he was tapped to become a prime unit, he felt he could be a part of something bigger, even if some of the things he would have to do was not quite desirable. Like Rahtinah, Rongbok was a semi-loner who had issues opening up to others. And while they don't quite see eye to eye, Rongbok was considered to be almost Skubasti's best friend.
Skyecrab- SKYCRAB BEST AUTYON THERE IS! TALKING AUTYON WILL LOSE! SKYECRAB BEST AUTYON, PROVE WITH GREAT STRENGTH!
Rezzard- He is one of those knowledge seeker types, he knew Kolruu since some time after Rahtinah absorbed Yonnie. While Rezzard played the part as mentor to a largely angry or frustrated Kolruu, he was merely observing him, knowing there was something special about him... or inside him. Kolruu finding out is what caused Kira to fully awaken. While this would grant Kolruu more power it came at the cost of a voracious hunger for Yondards. Rezzard would eventually become one of Prime's group, but Rezzard was able to find more and more information on it and humans, and eventually decided to attempt taking Prime out to gain access to knowledge and power.
Skubasti- Does what he has to do, even if he becomes 'evil' to do it. One of his goals as one of Prime's underlings is to monitor Yondards and ensure that any Beyondards, if not prevented from occuring, are killed quickly. Skubasti himself was nearly killed by one long ago right after it was 'born' (Being Kira). He is not totally heartless, however, as he has some respect for some Yondards.
Hromaki and Mephamb- They don't recieve much development, they're already a working, married couple.
Hector/Fokamune/E'elwaltz- All caught in a bad situation and making due with what opprotunities they can get when Taiga's group arrive in Rio Manage. E'elwaltz himself needs to deal with his feelings towards Taiga, especially when he accidentally triggers Taiga's transformation.
