The rain drags the black sun down.
Here's a list of all the characters that appear in Monochrome, starting with the main characters and then listing the rest in alphabetical order by last name. If you look here before you read the story, this page will contain spoilers that might possibly harm your eyes. With my made-up characters, very rarely will I find a picture that looks EXACTLY the way I envision them, but I've found as many of them as I can that are pretty close.
Oh yeah. SPOILERS WILL ENSUE.

Ichigo has a very complex personality. Stubborn, short-tempered, strong-willed, and impulsive, he tries to maintain a cool and detached persona, despite claiming that he doesn't care what other people think about him. He generally keeps his face set in a permanent scowl, making him seem unapproachable and frightening to some. His outspoken, hot-headed demeanor is one that he himself has acknowledged, and if someone picks a fight with him, he can't help but fight back. Despite all this, he is genuinely compassionate and empathetic towards others. He's a capable student and studies regularly under the claim that he has nothing better to do at home, though his reason for working so hard is simply to overcome the misconceptions that many have about him, based mostly on his fighting habits and hair color. He has trouble with showing respect to authority, often quite rude and disrespectful when talking to those older than himself.

A bit of an odd duck as far as society goes, Kinkajou was born in France and lived there on the streets until she was seven. It was then that her mother took her and her best friend and adoptive brother Fang to Japan. When her mother died, she and Fang were left alone to fend for themselves. He's only person that she holds dear to her, and she would kill for him in a heartbeat. She has picked up Japanese surprisingly well, but she'll occasionally slip back into her rapid-fire French whenever she's excited or angry or frightened. Due to her surprising strength and agility for a teenage girl and her sometimes ruthless nature, she has been dubbed the "Alley Cat of Karakura," and her reputation is feared and hated by many members of the underground. She acts like a bit of an airhead, but she's as sharp as tack and wary to a fault, making it very difficult to gain her trust. She never forgives and never forgets, and very seldom does she feel compassion towards someone who has wronged her in the past. She is very eccentric for vagrant and incredibly proud, hating pity as much as hunger and cold. Despite her cynical nature, she is usually cheerful and light, and it can be quite difficult to make her angry. But she has a hellish temper and is very difficult to restrain, making her quite threatening despite her size.

She never opens up her heart and has difficulty making friends. he's a bit clueless about the workings of the modern Human World. A very accomplished actress, she is able to act her way through a number of tough situations. She enjoys climbing to high places and anything rabbit-themed.

Keigo Asano
Birthday: April 1st
Hair: Brown
Eye: Brown
Hair: Brown
Eye: Brown
Keigo is typically goofy and extremely hyperactive, often using over-dramatic movements and words to act out his feelings. In other respects, he is the stereotypical Japanese teenager: he enjoys watching fireworks, playing video games, going to beach parties, and so forth. He's a good-natured character who is either trying (and failing) to woo girls or interacting with Ichigo, one of his close friends. His counterpart, Mizuiro Kojima, whose calm and innocent demeanor and success with woman acts as a foil to Keigo's impulsive, wannabe personality. He has a passion for slacking off and takes great pride and not being in the top of the class, though he is much smarter than his bad grades show and is a quick learner.
Fang
Birth Name: Léon René Allemand
Birthday: January 19th
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 121 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eye: Blue
Favorite Food: Taiyaki (fish-shaped bean jam buns)

Hair: Black
Eye: Blue
Favorite Food: Taiyaki (fish-shaped bean jam buns)
Fang has no memory of his life before meeting Kinkajou and her mother out on the streets of France. He was taken in by the homeless women and given the name Léon, but Kinkajou always preferred to call him Fang. After they moved to Japan and Kinkajou's mother died, he was ten, and it was his duty to care for eight-year-old Kinkajou. He had a harder time gripping Japanese as a second language, and his accent is a great deal thicker than his sister's. He learned how to feed and protect himself and Kinkajou, and soon he became quite an underground prodigy for being emotionless and cruel to those who were his enemies. Kinkajou is his only friend and constant companion, and she's the only one he can open up to be and be himself around. Very laid-back and quiet, his temper has a very long fuse, and he keeps a calm head in the worst of times. He only shows emotion around Kinkajou, but even then he tends to keep his troubles to himself.

Mizuiro Kojima
Birthday: May 23rd
Hair: Black
Eye: Gray
Hair: Black
Eye: Gray
Mizuiro is resourceful, level-headed, and calm, even in the most detrimental circumstances. These traits allow him to think straight and plan contingencies ahead of time. He's very sly with the ladies (though he claims that he prefers older women as opposed to his classmates). He takes great delight in teasing his good friend Keigo Asano when the latter is agitated. Despite his cheerful appearance, he can be quite cruel. He tends to put up walls around himself, and the only one he has ever really opened up to is Ichigo.
Karin Kurosaki
Birthday: May 6th
Height: 4'4"
Weight: 68 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eye: Gray
Height: 4'4"
Weight: 68 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eye: Gray
Karin is tougher and more authoritative than her soft-spoken twin sister, Yuzu. She has resolved never to cry no matter what happens to her so as not to burden her family with her personal troubles. As a result, she is more hardened and less emotional and is unaffected by things that would bring tears to Yuzu's eyes. Despite their differences, the sisters are very close, and she'll always be there to reassure Yuzu even if Karin herself is troubled as well. She's a sensible person, but she's not above kicking her father in the head when he's being unreasonable. Despite this, she helps him in the clinic by acting as a nurse when she can.
Yuzu Kurosaki
Birthday: May 6th
Height: 4'6"
Weight: 68 lbs.
Hair: Brown
Eye: Brown
Height: 4'6"
Weight: 68 lbs.
Hair: Brown
Eye: Brown
Yuzu is more soft-spoken than her authoritative sister, Karin. She is also the more empathetic of the two girls. She greatly admires Ichigo and tends to get upset when her brother disappears for any period longer than a day. She has a very playful side to her despite the responsibility she's taken on regarding the housework and cooking and helping as a nurse in her father's clinic. She's rather childlike and girlish in comparison to her rough-and-tumble twin sister. She can be rather gullible in her empathy, able to be moved to tears with even the corniest sob stories. She's probably the closest to her father out of all his children in the respect that both of them are overly nosey about Ichigo's personal life.
