The Milano is Peter Quill's spaceship, originally owned by Yond and transferred to Peter. Medium‑sized, elongated shape with a pointed nose, gray-metal body with scuffs and traces of fighting. It has two main engines at the rear and maneuvering nozzles on the sides, the wings fold when entering the atmosphere. Inside there is a pilot's cabin with a control panel, a common area with chairs and a table, several cabins, a cargo hold, and a repair area with Rocket instruments. It is equipped with basic shields, a pair of turrets and a camouflage system. On board is Peter's cassette player, personal belongings of the team, boxes of ammunition and spare parts. The ship often broke down and was repeatedly repaired by a Rocket, which is why individual components are assembled from disparate parts. It was used for interplanetary flights, escapes, rescue missions, and combat; in key scenes, it served as a shelter and mobile Guard base.

The Milano, a spaceship owned by Peter Quill, was originally owned by Yondu and was given to Peter. Medium-sized, elongated in shape with a pointed nose, gray-metal hull with scuffs and traces of battles. It has two main engines at the rear and maneuvering nozzles on the sides, the wings fold when entering the atmosphere. Inside there is a cockpit with a control panel, a common area with seats and a table, several cabins, a cargo compartment, a repair area with Rocket tools. It is equipped with basic shields, a pair of turrets, and a cloaking system. On board are Peter's cassette player, personal belongings of the crew, boxes of ammunition and spare parts. The ship often broke down and was repeatedly repaired by the Rocket, which is why the individual components are assembled from heterogeneous parts. It was used for flights between planets, escapes, rescue missions and battles; in key scenes, it served as a shelter and mobile base for the Guardians.

Mantis

Appearance. A pale-skinned alien with two antennae on her head through which she senses and changes emotions. The eyes are large, expressive, almost doll-like. The face is rounded, the features are soft. Dark hair. He wears simple, modest clothes — usually a dark jumpsuit. She moves clumsily, awkwardly, as if she is not used to her own body. It looks both touching and ridiculous.

*Power.**Through the antennae, it is able to sense the emotions of other beings and change them — to cause fear, joy, peace, sleep. She can put almost any creature to sleep with a touch, which makes her valuable in battle, although she physically almost does not know how to fight. She is able to feel hidden pain and suppressed emotions, which makes her a kind of empathic "X-ray".

*<a i="3"> Character. Naive, socially awkward, does not understand social norms, says tactless things out loud, not realizing that it is indecent. Sincere to the point of painfulness. She considers herself ugly and is surprised when someone treats her kindly. Kind, quiet, but capable of unexpected courage — in Infinity War, she is the only one who dares to touch Thanos and hold him. Gradually he learns to be a part of the team and to trust himself.

Hobbies. Mantis had practically no independent life before the Guardians—she was a servant of the Ego and knew nothing but his orders. Therefore, everything in the world is new to her. She responds with childish delight to simple things: nature, music, food, communication. He likes to watch people and tries to imitate them, usually clumsily and comically. Gradually he discovers humor, friendship and freedom of choice.

Drax the Destroyer

*Appearance.**A massive, muscular, gray-skinned giant over two meters tall. His entire body is covered with red tattoos-scars that tell the story of his family and the path of revenge.

Gamora

*Appearance.**A green-skinned alien from the Zen hoverboard race. Slender, fit, athletic, with long dark hair, often braided. Chiseled face, expressive eyes. He wears a tight—fitting dark-colored combat suit with metal inserts, and carries a sword on his back. The movements are graceful and precise, like those of a professional fighter.

*<a i="2"> Power.*One of the most dangerous killers in the galaxy. He is proficient in cold steel — swords, daggers, blades — and hand-to-hand combat.

*<a i="4"> Character.*Restrained, prudent, controlling emotions. Behind the outward coldness lies a deep pain and a need for a family. She doesn't trust people, but when she does, she's devoted without reservations. She's straightforward, doesn't like talking, and acts. She feels guilty for what she did on Thanos' orders, and seeks to atone for the past. Honest, but not naive.

*<a i="6"> Hobbies. Martial arts and training are both a profession and a way to discipline yourself. Loves order and cleanliness, the only one in the team who monitors the hygiene of the ship. She doesn't get carried away with anything "easy" — for her, rest is also most often training or planning. Gradually, she learns to relax around the Guards, and she shows a warm, caring side that she has been hiding for a long time.

Peter Quill (Star-Lord)

*Appearance.**A man in his early thirties, of medium build, muscular, but not a giant. Brown hair, carelessly styled, light stubble. He wears a leather jacket, worn jeans, boots with jet boosters and a helmet mask that covers his face when flying. There are twin blasters in his belt. He often walks around with a cassette player and headphones around his neck.

*<a i="2"> Power.*An ordinary person by physical parameters, but before the Ego was destroyed, he had the ability to manipulate celestial energy — he could create structures out of light, hold objects with his mind and channel the power of the celestial. After losing these abilities, he fights with blasters, jet boots, tactics, and agility. He is quite hardy, knows how to survive in extreme conditions, fights well in hand-to-hand combat, but not at the level of Gamora or Drax.

*<a i="4"> Character. Charismatic, impulsive, theatrical. He likes effective gestures and sonorous nicknames. He hides behind humor and bravado the deep trauma of losing his mother and loneliness. He is not afraid to take risks, but often acts without a plan. At the same time, at a critical moment, he is able to take responsibility and lead. Amorous, romantic, but inept at expressing feelings.

Hobbies. Music from the 70s and 80s is his main passion, and his mother's mixtapes are sacred to him. Dancing, and rather ridiculous — his famous "squad dance" in front of Ronan. Cinema and pop culture of the Earth, references to which no one in the team understands. Flirting, adventures, stealing artifacts (professionally and with pleasure).

Gamora is a green alien from the Zen—hoverberry race, the adopted daughter of Thanos. Thanos killed half the population of her home planet and took Gamora for himself, raising her as a ruthless killer. Gamora is one of the most dangerous assassins in the galaxy, proficient with edged weapons, swords, blades, and hand—to-hand combat. Inwardly, she hates Thanos and dreams of avenging the death of her family. In the first film, Gamora joins the Guardians after learning that Ronan is planning to destroy a planet with innocent creatures—she doesn't want to be a part of such evil. Gamora is restrained, prudent, controlling her emotions, but at the same time capable of deep devotion. She is romantically involved with Peter Quill, and their relationship is developing slowly and difficult because they both don't know how to trust. Gamora has a complicated relationship with Nebula—Nebula is her stepsister, and they have a long-standing feud over Thanos' approval. Thanos forced them to fight each other, and every time Nebula lost, he replaced a part of her body with a cybernetic implant. Gamora won, but not because she wanted to, but because she had to. In the second part, Gamora and Nebula finally reconcile, and Gamora admits that she is also a victim of Thanos. In Infinity War, Gamora is killed by Thanos on Vormir in exchange for the Soul Stone — he sacrifices the one he loves, and Gamora dies after learning that Thanos really loved her, but it wasn't enough. A version of Gamora from 2014 appears in the "Finale" and in the third part of the Guardians, but she has no memories of adventures together and initially treats the team with hostility. By the end of Guardians 3, she decides to stay with the Ravagers without returning to the Guardians, because for her this is not a home — she does not have the memories that "her" Gamora had.

Rocket is a genetically modified raccoon with human intelligence, created by a Top Evolutionist in a laboratory on Counter-Earth. His real name is 89P13. Rocket was one of the many animals being experimented on as part of a project to create an ideal race. He gained consciousness, intelligence, and the ability to speak, but was rejected by the Higher Evolutionary as an unsuccessful model, although it was Rocket who was able to find a solution that the creator himself could not. Rocket is a brilliant engineer, mechanic, explosives specialist, tactician and strategist. He can collect weapons from the trash, repair any ship, plan a complex operation and blow up anything. At the same time, Rocket is rude, aggressive, cynical, with a defensive reaction to affection — he pushes people away before they have time to push him away. He uses sarcasm and anger to hide his vulnerability. He is most deeply attached to Groot, with whom they form an inseparable couple. In the third film, the story of his creation is fully revealed: in the laboratory, Rocket had friends — Laila the macaque, Timb the otter, and Flo-Bi the rabbit, who gave him the name "Rocket" and believed that he would be able to free them. All three were killed by the Supreme Evolutionist while trying to escape, and this trauma determined the rest of Rocket's life — he did not allow himself to get attached, because every time he lost those he loved. After the Guardians save him from death and help him relive the past, Rocket accepts himself and his name. In the finale, he becomes the new leader of the revamped Guardians of the Galaxy. Voiced by Bradley Cooper, motion capture by Sean Gunn.

Groot is a humanoid tree from planet Ya, capable of saying only the phrase "I am Groot", which in his language conveys an infinite number of meanings through intonation, and only Rocket understands everything he says. Groot is huge, strong, able to grow his body, release vines and branches, heal wounds, create shields and glowing spores. In the first film, Groot sacrifices himself to save the crew when the ship crashes — he envelops everyone with his body and takes the blow, everyone survives except him. From its branch grows a new little Groot, often called Baby Groot. Baby Groot is moody, playful, and always gets into trouble, but in Guardians 2 he actively participates in the plot and helps the team. By the third film, Groot is a teenager: angular, wearing headphones, playing games on a portable device, behaving aloof, but still ready to rush into battle for the sake of his comrades. Groot is the most loyal member of the team, especially attached to Rocket, with whom they have been inseparable from the very beginning. In battle, Groot can change shape — lengthen his arms, create cages from branches, pierce enemies, and extend shields. His body is capable of regeneration, but he is vulnerable to fire. Groot does not know how to lie and does not understand complex plans, but he has a deep sense of justice and protects those he loves. Voiced by Vin Diesel, who recorded the phrase in multiple languages.

Drax the Destroyer is a Cretonian, massive grey-skinned warrior with red tattoos that tell the story of his family and his path of revenge. His wife Ovet and daughter Kamaria were killed by Ronan the Accuser on Thanos' orders. Drax is obsessed with revenge and initially joins the team in order to get to Ronan. He has absolutely no sense of metaphor, sarcasm, or subtext — he takes every word literally, which creates a huge number of comical situations. For example, when Peter says "we need to go left, figuratively," Drax doesn't understand what "figuratively" means. Drax is ferocious in battle, able to take huge damage, his skin is extremely durable — he is almost unaffected by blows and weapons, and he fights with primitive fury using knives and bare hands. At the same time, Drax is good-natured, sincerely attached to his comrades and touchingly caring. In the second film, he gets closer to Mantis, who feels his grief and pain, and a quiet friendship develops between them. Drax is not the smartest member of the team, but one of the most loyal and honest. He laughs out loud, says what he thinks, and doesn't know how to lie. In the third film, Drax becomes a father figure to young Phila, one of the experimental subjects of the Supreme Evolutionary, and shows an unexpectedly gentle, caring side. In the finale, he decides to stay with Nebula and the rescued children on "Zn nowhere", believing that he has found a new purpose.

Peter Quill, aka Star Lord, is a man with a touch of celestial blood, the leader and founder of the Guardians of the Galaxy. He was born in 1980 in Missouri to Meredith Quill and Celestial Ego, although he did not know his real father until adulthood. When Peter was eight years old, his mother died of a brain tumor, which was actually caused by Ego. Immediately after the funeral, Peter was abducted by space pirate ravagers led by Yondu Udonta. Yondu was supposed to deliver the boy to Ego, but after learning that Ego was killing his children, he kept Peter with him and raised him among the Ravagers. Peter grew up in harsh conditions, learned to steal, fight and survive, but at the same time retained a warm, impulsive nature. He loves music from the 70s and 80s, carries a cassette player with a mixtape put together by his mother, and music for him is a connection with the Earth and with his mother. Peter is charismatic, prone to theatrical gestures, and comes up with the sonorous nickname "Star Lord", which at first no one takes seriously. He fights with paired blasters and jet boots, allowing him to fly and maneuver in combat.

Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, is a man of celestial blood, the leader and founder of the Guardians of the Galaxy. He was born in 1980 in Missouri to Meredith Quill and Celestial Ego, although he did not know his real father until adulthood. When Peter was eight years old, his mother died of a brain tumor, which was actually caused by Ego. Immediately after the funeral, Peter was kidnapped by the space ravager pirates led by Yondu Udonta. Yondu was supposed to deliver the boy to Ego, but when he learned that Ego was killing his children, he kept Peter and raised him among the Ravagers. Peter grew up in harsh conditions, learned to steal, fight and survive, but at the same time retained a warm, impulsive nature. He loves music from the 70s and 80s, carries a cassette player with a mixtape collected by his mother, and music for him is a connection to the Earth and to his mother. Peter is charismatic, prone to theatrical gestures, comes up with a sonorous nickname "Star-Lord", which at first no one takes seriously. He fights with dual blasters and jet boots, allowing him to fly and maneuver in battle.

Mantis is an alien with pale skin and a pair of antennae on her head, through which she is able to sense the emotions of other beings and change them. Before meeting the Guardians, she lived on the planet Ego, where she served as his personal "pillow" — helping him fall asleep, calming his mind. Mantis was found by Ego as a larva and has not known another life since, so she is extremely naive, does not understand social norms, does not know how to communicate with people and often says tactless things out loud. She genuinely considers herself ugly and is surprised when someone treats her kindly. After destroying Ego, Mantis joins the Guardians and gradually learns to be part of the team. She is able to put creatures to sleep by touch, cause them fear, joy or other emotions, which makes her useful in combat, although she herself is almost unable to fight physically. Mantis is kind, clumsy, and often serves as a comic character, but at the same time shows unexpected courage — for example, in Infinity War, she is the only one who dares to touch Thanos and hold him while the others try to take off the Glove. In the third film, she finds out that she is the daughter of Ego, that is, the half-sister of Peter Quill, but decides not to tell him about it, so as not to hurt him. In the finale of Guardians 3, Mantis leaves the team and embarks on an independent journey to find himself, taking space dogs and Abilisks with him.
