Protagonist (God Eater)

Protagonist (God Eater) is the player character in God Eater and God Eater Burst. As the protagonist's name and gender are determined by the player, this wiki will refer to the character simply as the Protagonist of God Eater. Canonically, the protagonist's name is Yuu Kannagi.

God Eater
The Protagonist climbs through the ranks during the game, from Recruit to Lieutenant and eventually Leader. He/she is regarded as an example leader. Protagonist also possesses the power of Resonance, the ability to synchronize the memories and experiences of others, an ability shared by 2nd generation New-Type God Eaters. This first happens when he/she visits Alisa in the Sick Bay, reliving the experience of Alisa's parents being killed by a Dyaus Pita. He/She cannot control this ability willingly, though it tends to happen with those they have a connection to.

God Eater Burst
It is revealed that the Protagonist isn't completely silent (in an exception to the commonly used silent-hero) through the inclusion of spoken dialogue during cutscenes. After the main game, Protagonist is assumed to retain his/her Leader position, as while Lindow does return to Fenrir, he doesn't take it back.

God Eater 2
After the events of God Eater Burst, the Protagonist, along with Lindow, Kouta, Soma and Alisa, are now members of the traveling Fenrir branch Cradle.
