James Roberts

Age: 24
Job: Peon

James Roberts is the main character of the story. He is a bit of a geek who is really into video games, movies, and comics. He doesn’t really have any friends, and he’s mostly okay with that. James works at NONECO, the most successful business in New Jake City, as a peon who does nothing more than type names and numbers into a database and occasionally refill the printers on the first floor. James makes a decent amount of money for the type of work that he does, so he is mostly content with the job, although he does wish that he could do something more interesting. Being that his job title is the lowest in the company, James is unable to leave the 1st floor of the building for any reason.

When James’ crush, L’Elle Juneau, goes missing, he sets out to find her on the 13th floor of NONECO and meets the mysterious Insanitor. He helps James overcome his limits and become the powerful Ninja. In this form, James becomes a powerful, confident, and skillful warrior capable of learning the techniques of anyone that he fights.

L’Elle Juneau

Age: 24
Job: Marketing Adviser

L’Elle Juneau is the object of James Roberts’ affection. She is the only person who regularly speaks to James, as she always makes it a point to talk to him when she arrives, goes to lunch, and before she leaves work. She is called to the GM’s office and doesn’t return, causing James to go after her.

The Insanitor

Age: 46
Job: Janitor

The 1st floor’s dedicated but seemingly crazy custodian. He says that NONECO is actually an evil organization with plans to do “evil things,” but he cannot remember what they are. He claims to have witnessed an atrocious act that caused him to rise up and fight against the company. However, he failed, and something was done to him to cause him to lose his mind. He gives James the ninja gear and helps him get started on his mission to save L’Elle.

Jack Schulman

Age: 56
Job: Director of Peons

Jack Schulman is James’ boss. Schulman revels in the fact that he has authority over the lowest-ranked workers in the company and makes it a point to treat them as bad as possible. Despite his mean personality, Schulman isn’t evil, and he mostly has no desire to do any real harm to anyone.

Sugar Bear

Age: 39
Job: Human Resources Coordinator

Sugar Bear is the HR Coordinator for NONECO. He is a pimp who runs a brothel out of the bottom floor of the company at night. NONECO retains a percentage of the brothel’s profits. His most sought-after girls are “the Fruit Cocktail,” a group of escorts with fruit-themed names.

Pineapple

Age: 23
Job: Cocktail Girl

The loyal Pineapple is Sugar Bear’s go-to girl, the one that he knows he can count on for anything, whether it be fighting, companionship, or even domestic duties. She loves a good fight and never backs down when it comes to protecting Sugar Bear.

Papaya

Age: 22
Job: Cocktail Girl

Papaya is the quiet member of the Fruit Cocktail. She is dainty and a little pouty, but will quickly spring into action when needed.

Passionfruit

Age: 25
Job: Cocktail Girl

The perpetually-happy Passionfruit is the Fruit Cocktail’s cheerleader. She is a weaker fighter than Pineapple and Papaya, but will do what it takes to make Sugar Bear happy.

Tangerine

Age: 28
Job: Cocktail Girl Captain

Tangerine is Sugar Bear’s “specialty” girl, “for those who like them ‘thick’…” She is vain and selfish, but willing to do anything for Sugar Bear. The strongest of the Fruit Cocktail, Tangerine is the main muscle and the first miniboss. When she uses synergy with the other girls, she can do “Tropical Punch + Vitamin C,” but usually fights alone.

Sheena

Age: 20
Job: Cocktail Girl Trainee

Sheena is training to become a member of the Fruit Cocktail. She works as the receptionist for the NONECO Gentleman’s Club.
