Ananta characters
Six characters are officially profiled. The total roster is not announced.
The global site lists Captain, Shi Ye, Taffy, Richie, Yinglong and Seymour. Other sites list more names, but no official source backs them, so we do not publish those lists.

| Officially profiled | 6 characters on the global site Verified |
|---|---|
| Playable at launch | Not announced yet. A NetEase representative said characters shown in the two demos will certainly be in the release; claimed totals such as 11 or 13 have no first-hand source. Reported |
| Female protagonist | The producer says a female protagonist will be selectable at release (interview dated 26 Sep 2025). The TGS 2025 demo offered only the male Captain. Reported |
| How you switch | Characters live separate lives in the city. Switching jumps the camera to that character rather than forming a combat party. Reported |
| Roles named in official copy | NCCA officer, hacker, delivery rider, content creator, department head and a well-to-do elite. Press matches only Taffy (delivery) and Richie (NCCA) to a role. Verified |
Named elsewhere, no profile
Four names appear in official or press material without an official profile. Their playable status is not announced, and we list them only so you can tell them apart from the six above.
| Aileen | A maid at the Dream Garden cafe, mentioned in an official news post from January 2025. Not announced |
|---|---|
| MIMIKO | Mentioned in the same post as the host of a livestream. Role not announced. Not announced |
| 梅卡妮卡 (Chinese name) | Named beside Taffy in the official Chinese red-envelope cover post of 9 February 2026, which also offers an exclusive cover on NetEase's Dashen community. The post gives no English spelling, role or playable status, and the official character tab still lists six profiles. Not announced |
| ライカ | A cat-eared woman who drives during the TGS 2025 story demo, per Famitsu. No official profile; the English spelling is unconfirmed. Not announced |
We do not rank characters. Final kits, balance and unlock rules are not announced, and with no character gacha in the reports, a tier list would have nothing to measure.
Status labels
Every claim on this site carries one label. Colour is never the only signal: each label has its own shape and its own word.
