As the main characters of Disgaea and Hyperdimension Neptunia's first forays on the PS4, Uzume and Killia greatly contrast a majority of the protagonists that preceded them with their relatively blunt personalities and fighting styles. While Killia and Uzume themselves are polar opposites when it comes to their surface attitudes, both are ultimately just-minded, selfless individuals who are unwilling ignore others when they're in any sort of trouble. They can easily inspire leadership in others, and in turn care deeply for their friends/allies above all else. The two of them typically prefer hand to hand combat (though of course Uzume usually mixes things up with her megaphone too) as opposed to the sword-based fighting styles of their predecessors, combining blindingly quick physical blows with devastating long range energy attacks.

As a former Tyrant Overlord and CPU of Planeptune respectively, both combatants even played a large role in the backstories of their respective franchises (it helps that Disgaea 5 is implied to be a prequel to the rest of the series). Both can even tap into the powers they once held in these positions to undergo transformations that drastically altered and their appearances and stats. Unfortunately, their past identities were also marred by many years worth of regret and loneliness. Whether it was the never-ending stream of enemies that wished to claim Killia's title of Overlord for themselves or the denizens of Planeptune's active disdain for Uzume, their troubled pasts would eventually give form to dark, violent split personalities that went against everything they stood for. Of course, at the end of the day, Killia and Uzume would go on to make peace with their pasts and the alter egos that spawned from them without succumbing to darkness.
