List of Fafner in the Azure characters

This is a list of fictional characters from the Japanese anime television series, Fafner in the Azure.

Fafners are giant humanoid war machines developed by mankind to combat the Festum invasion. Depending on the potential of the pilot, which can be looked through their Synergetic Code profile, they are capable of exhibiting immense power. The more closer their Synergetic Code to the golden ratio, the more potential they are as the pilot of Fafner. In the sequel Exodus, they even develop their latest abilities called SDP (Super Dimensional Power) after the new core of the island awakens. The name FAFNER refers to the character Fáfnir from Norse mythology who turned into a dragon to protect its treasure.

Fafner pilots of Tatsumiya Island contain part of Festum's element within their bodies, which is an important thing in order to move the Fafner. Through Nibelung System, the pilot is able to synchronize with Fafner. Unfortunately, they will also experience the side-effect called assimilation phenomenon when piloting the Fafner and ultimately take on their own lives when the final sign of assimilation phenomenon occurs to them. As the series progress, there are some ways to hold and reverse the effect of assimilation phenomenon and a cure is also yet to be found.

ALVIS is not only the name of the Fafner-operational submarine fortress, but also the name of the organization of the people who work there. It is not simply a warship: many different facilities exist inside. CDC is the command room. The island's core sleeps in the Cave of the Valkyrie. Solomon is held in the Keel Block. Fafner is stored in Burg. In addition to these, it provides every other essential facility, from a medical ward to a cleaners. Later revealed in Exodus that there are at least three known Alvis-class ships in the world created as a part of Arcadian Project. However two of these survived.

Neo United Nations. Their military force is generally referred as the Human Army.

The Mir are those who create Festum. The relationship between Mir and Festum is like that of God and man. The Festum do not have individual will. The will of the Mir is their will. Therefore, they call themselves "we". Festum that show emotions, like Misao Kurusu, are perceived by the Mir as "defects".

The L-Plan in Right of Left involves detaching the left wing (L-Boat) of ALVIS and having it cruise around for a period of time without optical camouflage as a diversion. This is used to distract the Festum and the Neo United Nations from Tatsumiya Island. The plan also calls for 4 Titan-model units to act as escorts.

This is a list of some of the key terms frequently used in the series.

Mark I-III+XI apparently share the same body design, as do Mk.VI & VII and IV & VIII, respectively, according to the Memorial Book.
