Yu-Gi-Oh! Forever/Characters


A list of the Loads and Loads of Characters in the Fan Fiction series Yu-Gi-Oh Forever.

Currently under construction.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.

The Five-Man Band

Yugo Muto

The lead protagonist and only son of famous duelist Yugi Muto. Following in his father's footsteps, he wields the legendary Dark Magician strategy, even though he's been nursing a years-old inferiority complex regarding his father's fame.

Would you just stand by and do nothing while the bad guys took one of your closest friends away from you?

Seta Kaiba

The son of Seto Kaiba and successor to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon strategy. His rivalry with Yugo is fierce but friendly, a huge moving away from their fathers' past rivalry.

Jenna Wheeler

The daughter of Joey Wheeler and, predictably, one of Yugo's closest friends. Like her father before her, she wields the power of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Kyo Bakura

The son of Ryou Bakura, and one of the voices of reason for Yugo's group. He uses an Archlord deck strategy.

Miki Taylor

Jenna's cousin, who moves to Domino City with her parents shortly after Seta arrives there. Her deck strategy revolves around a Knight theme.


Acquaintances and Allies

Blaze Redman

A world-renowned duelist who is famous for using Fire-attribute monsters. Has an ongoing rivalry with Wade Ocean.

Wade Ocean

Blaze Redman's chief rival, famous for his Water-attribute monsters and in particular his "Umi" style.

Flora Green

A duelist who utilizes a combination of Insect-type and Plant-type monsters.

Marcus Ironside

A duelist who specializes in Machine-type monsters.

Shigeo Tatsunoko

A duelist who specializes in Ninja-themed monsters. He develops a rivalry with Miki.

Raven Pegasus

The adopted son of Maximillion Pegasus, and Honey Pegasus' older biological brother. Unlike his father, his deck strategy revolves around the Different Dimension strategy.

Honey Pegasus

Pegasus' adopted daughter and Raven's biological younger sister. Taking a page from her adopted father's book, she utilizes a deck strategy based on his legendary Toon monsters.

Malachi Jordan

The British Intercontinental champion, and the main antagonist of the Intercontinental Arc. He experienced Defeat Means Friendship, but never made a complete Heel Face Turn.

Miriam Jordan

Malachi Jordan's younger sister and the sole female in their specific group of True Companions. Her deck strategy revolves around the use of Magic/Spell cards, both to prevent opponents from attacking and to drain their life points.

Luke Jericho

One of Malachi's personal entourage, Miriam's boyfriend and David's older brother. He utilizes a Rock-themed deck.

David Jericho

One of Malachi's personal entourage and Luke's younger brother. He utilizes a Beast-Warrior deck.

Jillian Uriah

A 17-year-old girl who has been employed as a bodyguard despite her young age, and at the time of her debut is appointed as Seta Kaiba's personal bodyguard. Her deck strategy revolves around the famous Guardian monsters.

GINA

A computer program with sentience, introduced just prior to the start of the JUDAS arc. She's initially found by Miki one afternoon while wandering around the internet, and is (reluctantly) accepted by Kaiba after proving her capabilities as a super-computer program.

  • Artificial Human
  • Chekhov's Gunman: After her introduction, she's reduced to a relatively minor role providing tidbits of information to help the protagonists during the JUDAS arc, but otherwise doesn't play a much larger role in the story after that. Until Tokyo Dome, where Kaiba uses her as an anti-virus program to stop the Zodiacs' Take Over the World plot.
  • Magical Computer

Janus Yuki

One of the two people in Forever who canonically defeat Yugo, and a second-year student in the Osiris/Slifer Red dorm at Duel Academy. He is also the son of Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes, and wields his father's Elemental Hero deck with astonishing proficiency.


Supporting Characters

This list consists primarily of the parents of the main characters. Most if not all of them were main characters in their earlier respective canon series; here, they've been Demoted to Extra for the most part.

Yugi Muto

The previous protagonist of the canon Yu-Gi-Oh! series, and here the retired former Duel Monsters world champion. At the beginning of the story Yugi has been raising his son Yugo as a single father, with assistance from his mother (Yugo's grandmother) who lives with them. Yugi works as an archaeologist, historian and researcher alongside Ryou Bakura.

Seto Kaiba

The well-known business mogul from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, he's still the CEO of Kaibacorp in this story's time-line, as well as being a single father who's been raising his 16-year-old son Seta for quite some time prior to the start of the time-line proper, and he's also a member of the Duel Monsters World Tournament Committee. The years have given him some much-needed Character Development from his younger days, though he's still recognizable as the Kaiba we all know and love (or hate).

Ryou Bakura

No longer the recognizable Butt Monkey of the canon series, Ryou Bakura here is an archaeologist and researcher alongside Yugi Muto. His family relations are...complicated, judging from his very different interactions with his two sons.

  • I Have No Son: Had this attitude regarding Jan after the latter's Face Heel Turn.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Toward Jan. As the latter reveals during his second confrontation with Kyo, this was because Jan's physical appearance reminded Ryou too much of the spirit of the Millennium Ring, leading to him treating Jan very coldly (albeit subtly so) in the past.
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy: An older version, but yes, fangirls, he still is.

Marik Ishtar

The former leader of the Rare Hunters from the first canon series, Marik in this story serves as Yugo's primary ally during the JUDAS arc, supplying him with a place to stay and sage advice, as well as rare cards to spruce up his deck.

  • The Atoner: A case where his previous Karma Houdini status is revoked—he's serving a suspended sentence with the stipulation that he cannot travel outside of Cairo for a certain period of time.
  • Happily Adopted: He has a daughter, Mariska, who he adopted after her parents died in a boating accident.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: He's Seta's uncle. This is a case where both characters are aware of the fact, but The Reveal is made to the reader.
  • The Obi-Wan: Toward both Yugo and Seta.
  • Training from Hell: He subjects Yugo and Seta to this, in terms of teaching them special strategies geared toward effecting a One Hit KO during duels.

Alexis Rhodes-Yuki

The wife of Jaden Yuki and mother of Janus, vice-principal of the central Duel Academy, and a member of the Duel Monsters World Tournament Committee.

Zane Truesdale

A member of the Duel Monsters World Tournament Committee. When first introduced, he doesn't have a very good relationship with his two children, due to events in their shared past.

Dr. Vellian Crowler

The head of the Obelisk Blue boys' dorm at Duel Academy.


JUDAS

The main antagonists of the JUDAS arc, this group consists of persons who believe (justifiably or not) that society or specific individuals have betrayed them in one way or another, and have come together to get revenge for said betrayals. The core group consists of seven individuals who wield the power of the revived Millennium Items and wear robes corresponding to the Roy G Biv color scheme; they have at their disposal a gang of Mooks who wear brown robes.

Keisuke Odachi

The Big Bad of the JUDAS arc, he is the leader of the eponymous cult-like organization and harbors a grudge against the Muto family. He possesses the power of the revived Millennium Puzzle, which basically gives him the ability to draw just the right card during duels, and he also controls copies of the revived Egyptian God cards.

Jude Lassiter

A former lawyer for Kaibacorp, who attempted to use certain information against Kaiba for his own profit and was fired for it; as a result, he joined JUDAS to get revenge. He wields the power of the revived Millennium Rod, with which he has the power of Mind Control.

Abel Drake

A former historian who was ridiculed by his peers for proclaiming that magic was actually used to fight wars in ancient Egypt (sound familiar?) He wound up joining JUDAS, but also led his own cult called the Lightbearers on the side. He wields the revived Millennium Key, which allows him to unlock people's memories and shuffle them around as he wishes. Word of God gives his physical description as akin to Orochimaru, albeit with a more normal skin tone and different hair color—but he's no less of a Complete Monster.

Michael Bronte

One of JUDAS's more bloodthirsty high-rankers, and the youngest of the seven, he wields the power of the Millennium Ring, which he uses to home in on the other Millennium Items. His deck strategy revolves around the Dark Scorpions.

Judith Skye

The token female among JUDAS's higher-ranking members, but far from the only girl in the group, she wields the power of the Millennium Necklace, which allows her to see both the past and the future. Additionally, she uses Harpie Lady monsters in her deck strategy.

Bernard Stone

One of the older members of JUDAS, and one of the more patient members of the high-ranking members. He wields the Millennium Scale, which allows him to weigh the heart of an individual against the Feather of Truth in order to gauge their honesty, and specializes in Trap cards.

Jonathan Maxell

One of the crueler members of JUDAS's seven leading figures, he bears a serious grudge against Flora Green's family, and later against Marcus Ironside. He wields the Millennium Eye, which allows him to read minds and predict his opponent's strategies.

Jan Shimizu

Kyo's estranged older brother, he left home and changed his last name several years before the start of the series. Eventually, he joined up with JUDAS, becoming one of their more elite members.


The Zodiacs

A global organization with ties to all known governments and enough firepower to start their own world war if they ever felt like it. They serve as the main antagonist group of the Dueltropolis arc. The name of the organization also refers specifically to its special strike-force of twelve duelists (led by Zander Zabel) who infiltrate the Dueltropolis tournament. Each of the twelve has a Meaningful Name and a corresponding deck strategy. Their characterization was based on the Gung-ho Guns from Trigun.

Master Orion

The Big Bad of the Dueltropolis arc and, as it eventually turns out, of the entire series. Only those who are closest to him in the organization, like his personal butler and Zander Zabel, know who he is behind the shadows that frame his face, or underneath the hooded cloak he wears whenever he goes out...

Zander Zabel/"Capricorn the Blitzflash"

He is a leading figure in the Zodiac organization during the Dueltropolis arc, and the head of the similarly-named strike-force of twelve duelist assassins sent to infiltrate the eponymous tournament. He holds a particularly deep grudge against Seta due to events that took place prior to the start of the story.

Stephen Ingram/"Cancer the Scourge"

First mentioned during the Kaibacorp Challenge Cup arc as a bully who destroyed a painting meant for Kyo's mother just for giggles, he's revealed in person at the start of the Dueltropolis arc over 200 chapters later. As per his Zodiac code-name, his deck centers on "virus corruption" through the use of cards such as Crush Card Virus and Deck Devastation Virus.

Cassius Princeton/"Scorpio the Venom"

Son of famous Duel Academy student Chazz Princeton. He was a proud Obelisk Blue student before Principal Jaden Yuki changed the acadmey's structure to make all students spend two mandatory years in Osiris/Slifer Red, then two in Ra Yellow before spending the final two years in Obelisk Blue. Of course, being an elitist, Cassius bears a grudge against the Yuki family because of this; Zander used this to convince him to join the Zodiacs. He wields a strategy focusing on the Dark Scorpion monster strategy.

Regina Brissett/"Sagittarius the Vermillion"

The first Zodiac to engage any of the duelists in the Dueltropolis tournament. She loves to fight and will kill anyone if she feels like it. Her deck strategy focuses on the use of Amazoness monsters.

Angel Snow/"Virgo the Zephyr"

A classmate of Janus Yuki's in the Ra Yellow dorm. She wields the power of the Harpie Lady monsters, as per her epithet.

Kyle Welling/"Taurus the Gamekeeper"

A member of the twelve-man strike team who dresses in green and wears a ninja-like mask.

James Truesdale/"Aries the Everstrong"

A high-ranking Obelisk Blue student at Duel Academy, Zane Truesdale's son and Natasha Truesdale's older brother. However, he holds both his father and sister in contempt, and looks down on duelists weaker than himself. He wields an Exodia strategy (without using Exodia Necross, unlike Jude Lassiter).

  • Aloof Big Brother
  • Blood Knight
  • Cain and Abel: The Cain to Natasha's Abel.
  • Calling the Old Man Out: He screams at an absent Zane (who's watching via video-camera feed), expressing his deeply-repressed rage at his father for making him put aside his grief at his mother's death in childbirth while delivering Natasha.
  • Curb Stomp Battle: A natural result of him wielding Exodia. On orders from Master Orion, he seeks out Victor Greaves and Chris Gear to silence them in case they might reveal information about the Zodiacs following their disqualification from Dueltropolis. When he finds them, they realize what he’s there for and summon their ace monsters to defend themselves. James, in turn, coolly summons Exodia the Forbidden One—an Eldritch Abomination which guarantees an instant win in the Duel Monsters game. Cue Oh Crap expressions from Victor and Chris before the curb-stomping commences.
  • Freudian Excuse: And a painful one it is.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to Natasha when they duel in the Dueltropolis tournament.
  • The Resenter: Toward his father and sister.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Has one while revealing his back-story as well as the reason why he's The Resenter.
  • You Suck: His view of duelists he perceives as weaker than himself.

Forrest Wiles/"Leo the Wildmaster"

A member of the Zodiacs who specializes in Beast-type monsters. He was previously a world-class duelist with a notorious lecherous reputation toward women.

Felix Sanchez/"Libra the Blackjack"

A member of the Zodiacs whose deck strategy revolves around a gambling theme. He is also the national Duel Monsters champion in his native Spain.

  • Being Evil Sucks: The reason for his Heel Face Turn.
  • Freudian Excuse: As he reveals in his back-story, he felt immense pressure from his family to take up their bullfighting tradition, even though he himself had no interest in the sport. The one time he participated, he was horribly injured and subsequently left home in shame.
  • Friendly Enemy
  • Scars Are Forever: He retains the scars he got from his ill-fated bullfighting attempt.

Chris Gear/"Gemini the Strife"

A member of the Zodiacs who uses two dueling strategies together—the Ancient Gears monster set in combination with a life-point restoration strategy.

Victor Greaves/"Aquarius the Tombstone"

A member of the Zodiacs who uses Zombie-type monsters and scare tactics to intimidate his opponents.

Laurel Strong/"Pisces the Coldblood"

A member of the Zodiacs, and the second one to fight in Dueltropolis. She wields a Dinosaur deck strategy.

"Ophiuchus the Imperial"

The unofficial thirteenth member of the Zodiacs' dueling team, and the one designated to bear the organization's strongest monsters, copies of the Sacred Beast cards that were sealed underneath Duel Academy. Their purpose for infiltrating Dueltropolis is to make it possible to revive Ophiuchus to fighting form by reawakening his personality within a microchip implanted in Seta Kaiba's brain stem.

ZEUS

A computer virus created by the Zodiac organization originally to serve as an information thief for Kaiba Corp.


Characters in Yu-Gi-Oh! Eternal

Jaden Yuki

The principal of the central Duel Academy. Mentioned several times but never actually seen during Forever, he becomes a regular supporting character in Eternal, where he's quite controversial for having changed the former hierarchical structure of Duel Academy to create a sense of equality amongst the school's three dorms.

Drake Phoenix

Janus' primary rival in Eternal, he's the son of Aster Phoenix and the successor to the family's fortune and his father's Destiny Hero deck.

Cassara Blackstone

A classmate of Janus' who often gets exasperated with his screwball antics. She later becomes the student editor of the school paper.

Vasha Morrison

One of the elite students of Obelisk Blue and the resident queen bee of the student body. Has a rivalry with Cassara.


Calhoun Vincente

Another elite Obelisk Blue student and the resident Jerk Jock. He's Vasha's boyfriend.

Blair Flannigan

In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, she was a recurring character with a crush on Jaden. Here, she's a teacher at Duel Academy who's a hit with her students because of, well, non-scholarly reasons.

Crosskill: (to Dr. Crowler) You might be confused about which gender you're supposed to be, but at least I have the right plumbing!

Blair: But I'll bet the plumbing doesn't work.

Jewel Duelist

A mysterious duelist who dresses in a hooded jacket with a mask that covers the lower half of her face. She possesses the power of the Crystal Beasts and uses her dueling abilities to fight crime.

  • Disappeared Dad: Word of God says he would have been revealed to be Jesse Anderson.
  • The Lost Lenore: There was speculation among reviewers that the Jewel Duelist was actually Janus and Drake's childhood friend Racquel, based on (among other things) Principal Yuki's and Pegasus' familiar approach toward her.
  • The Obi-Wan: To Janus.

Park Fletcher

The Big Bad of the Duel Academy Takeover arc, he was a former teacher who resigned due to disagreements over Jaden Yuki being appointed principal of the institute. Since that time, he'd been operating from the shadows, waiting for his opportunity to overthrow Principal Yuki's administration.

Gabriel Roman

A past Duel Monsters World Champion, he retired from dueling after an unfortunate (and unrevealed in-story) incident. Drake Phoenix seeks him out as a potential member of his House of Cards, and Gabriel agrees, albeit reluctantly (as Drake is using blackmail to coerce him).
