Cody is a key player for the USC Trojans, whose composure, low profile, and team loyalty help foster the healthy camaraderie and safety that the USC team is known for.
Cody's appearance perfectly reflects his emotional stability, reliability, and athletic discipline. He is a tall, physically fit, broad-shouldered young man with a strong, athletic build typical of professional Exy players. He has an open, masculine face with a clearly defined jawline, and his short, dark hair always looks neat and out of the way during intense training. Cody has deep, attentive brown eyes and a calm, expressive gaze that conveys his ability to maintain a cool head even in the most tense moments of a game. His posture and confident, relaxed movements reveal no hint of aggression or a desire to dominate, only self-confidence and a readiness for action.
Within the Trojans' structure, Cody plays the role of a reasonable and level-headed lineman, someone who can always be relied upon both on and off the field. Unlike the destructive and brutal hierarchy of the Ravens, Cody embodies a genuine love of the sport and respect for his teammates. He is straightforward, completely devoid of pretense, and maintains a level head in any situation.
When Jean Moreau joins the team, Cody displays a natural, undemanding friendliness. He respects Jean's personal boundaries, doesn't force his company, and doesn't ask unnecessary questions about his past in Evermore. During training and in everyday interactions, Cody maintains a calm, reserved, and respectful demeanor, demonstrating to Jean that he needn't expect a backstab or veiled threats on this team. With his constant, even-keeled support, he, along with Jeremy, Kat, and Lyla, creates a secure foundation for Jean, allowing him to gradually learn to trust those around him.

Lila Dermott is a defender for the USC Trojans whose poise, levelheadedness, and quiet warmth become a vital part of the safe space Jean Moreau finds after the horrors of Evermore.
Layla's appearance reflects her gentle, yet incredibly strong and reliable nature. She is tall, physically strong, and stately, a woman of African-American descent with dark, dark-brown skin and composed, neat features. She has thick, dark hair, often pulled back for convenience during training, and deep, attentive brown eyes that convey calm, wisdom, and inner strength. Her athletic build exudes the restrained power of an Exie protector, yet her gestures and posture always convey a sense of security and peace, not a threat.
In Jean's life, Layla serves as that same stable and unwavering pillar of support. Along with her girlfriend, Kat Alvarez, and Captain Jeremy Knox, she surrounds Jean with care that is completely free of pressure. Unlike the cruel and unpredictable Ravens, Layla never displays aggression and respects Jean's personal boundaries. She patiently participates in his adaptation to normal life, helping him gradually adjust to his new home, social interactions, and the absence of constant threat.
Their relationship is built on a quiet but deep mutual respect. Compared to Kat's loud and impulsive nature, Lila acts as a balancing force: she calmly accepts Jean's wariness, his habit of lisping, hiding his pain behind apathy, and anticipating a blow. With her gentle confidence and unobtrusive presence, Lila helps Jean understand that the Trojans value him as a person, not a tool, and that he is finally safe here.

Catalina (Kat) Alvarez is a defender for the USC Trojans whose boundless energy, openness, and genuine kindness become a vital part of the safe environment Jean Moreau finds himself in after the Ravens' nightmare.
Kat's appearance perfectly reflects her bright, lively, and confident nature. She is an attractive, fit, and athletic Latina with a warm, tanned complexion. She has thick dark hair and expressive, radiant brown eyes that literally radiate friendliness and playfulness. She often sports an open, wide smile that can instantly defuse any tense situation. The Exie defender's athletic build is combined with natural grace, and her every movement exudes ease and confidence.
Meeting Jean reveals Kat as an incredibly empathetic, albeit impulsive, friend. Along with her girlfriend, Layla, and Captain Jeremy Knox, Kat takes on the responsibility of helping Jean adapt socially and domestically. Unlike Riko Moriyama and the Raven system, accustomed to breaking others' wills, Kat treats Jean with genuine respect and warmth. She gradually and patiently teaches him the simple joys of life—from culinary experiments to motorcycle rides—demonstrating that the ordinary world doesn't revolve around fear and pain.
Their interaction is built on contrasts: the tall, silent, and traumatized Jean, accustomed to hiding behind his apathy and quiet French lisp, and the loud, emotional Kat, ready to defend him without hesitation. She is genuinely angry at Jean's past and what was done to him in the Nest. With her spontaneity and openness, Kat helps Jean believe that among ex-partners, he can find a true, loyal family, where he is accepted with all his scars.

Jeremy Knox is the captain of the USC Trojans, a man whose bright, cheerful personality and genuine kindness are the complete opposite of the nightmare that Jean Moreau went through.
Jeremy's appearance perfectly reflects his sunny and outgoing personality. He is an attractive, athletic young man with warm, golden skin, a trim figure, and a charming, inviting smile. He has blond hair and expressive, bright eyes that radiate kindness and confidence. His physical attractiveness and easygoing demeanor are combined with a captain's presence, yet he is completely lacking the crushing, oppressive aura so typical of Ravens players.
Meeting Jean marks a new chapter for Jeremy. When Jean joins the Trojans, Jeremy takes on the role of his new partner. Unlike Riko Moriyama, who used Jean as a living target and a convenient object for torture, Jeremy builds a completely different kind of bond. He sees Jean not just as an athletic asset or a broken third man, but as a person in need of safety and protection. Jeremy patiently shows Jean that a true partner is someone who will lend a shoulder, not someone who will strike.
Their partnership is built on contrasts: the tall, reserved Jean, with his gray-green eyes, scars, and the number "3" on his cheekbone, accustomed to a slight lisp and anticipation of pain, and the bright, open Jeremy, who brings light and calm. Jeremy respects Jean's personal boundaries, accustomed to constant threat, and step by step helps him adapt to his new life. With his warmth, patience, and support, Jeremy shows Jean that trust exists between partners, and that the past horrors of the Nest no longer have power over him.

Jean Moreau is one of the most tragic and broken characters, whose fate embodies total deprivation of freedom and profound psychological trauma. His life is an ongoing ordeal, the origins of which reach back to his early years.
Jean spent his childhood in Marseille, France. It was completely deprived of warmth, security, and parental love. Born into poverty, Jean was betrayed by his own parents, who sold him to the Moriyama clan to pay off debts. The child became a bargaining chip and someone else's property. This betrayal forever destroyed his ability to trust people, forming a firm conviction that his only value was serving the interests of others.
Transfer to the Moriyama clan brought Jean to Evermore, the grim abode of the "Crows." Assigned the number three, he became Rico's constant partner and personal shadow. Years in the Nest turned his existence into hell. Jean was subjected to systematic physical and emotional abuse on a daily basis. Rico used him as a target for anger, a human shield, and a demonstration of power. To survive, Jean learned to be invisible, silently endure any pain, and obey without question.
Jean's appearance reflects the gravity of his fate. He is a tall, stately young man with refined French features, dark curly hair, and gray-green eyes filled with a dull melancholy. His body is covered with numerous scars from torture. The most striking mark is the number "3" tattooed on his cheekbone—a symbol of slavery and belonging to the Moriyama clan. His French origins are hinted at not only by his refined appearance but also by his soft French accent: Jean has a slight lisp when speaking English. This subtle speech imperfection is one of the few remaining traces of his past, a reminder of the home he lost as a child and the life that was taken from him. He joined the Trojans after the nest collapsed and became friends with the team captain, Jeremy, and they share a dorm room. He has a strong love of peaches.
