Based on "average" character strength so it's very rough

Limbus Company: very much mortal and cannonically would be dead several times over without Dante, a single point of failure. Limited ranged weapons of low caliber

Reverse 1999: again, mortal, but have magic and thus could probably defeat an average person in combat but not much stronger than the limbus sinners

Arknights: more reliable combat training than arcanists, and more destructive magic. Mortal and will die if shot.

Counterside this is the line between "will die when shot in the right places" and functionally immortal, with the introduction of military androids and dimensional monster hunting being "average"

Neural Cloud: weird case because they're digital beings in a digital world, but most are civilian dolls limited by the laws of robotics but otherwise would be on the level of T dolls

Blue Archive: Students are functionally invincible and can take tank rounds without dying, but weapons are small arms limiting the damage that can be done

Girls' Frontline: Blue Archive Students but with actually refined combat skills

Punishing Gray Raven the npcs who get killed are gfl their robots.

Fate/Grand Order: tbh kinda a mess but you have some genuinely unkillable guys here and people able to annihilate armies.

Azur Lane have you ever tried to kill a boat? Have you ever been shot by a boat? Good luck.

calculated here, all percentages are rounded to two decimal places.

per wikipedia, "foreigners" make up only 5.3% of south korea's population, with half of these "foreign" residents being "chinese" [specifics unspecified]. unhelpfully, this figure includes koreans born outside of south korea as "foreign".

like all east asians, korean skintones naturally vary from very light to medium dark. the undertones are also diverse (as sometimes seen in the "warm" category).

being "korean" does not necessarily make someone light-skinned, just as being "foreign" to south korea does not necessarily make someone darker-skinned: the 5.3% figure is used here only as a point of comparison for how reflective each of these south korean games may be of their own, local, south korean playerbase.

disclaimer: i am mixed-chinese and vary from very light to olive, depending on the season. i am not korean and have never lived in korea.

KEY

[percentage] = the percentage of playable dark(ish)-skinned characters in-game as of july 2026

[~] is used to represent approximated, rather than certain, numerical ranges.

y/o = years old

characters = characters that are or will soon be playable, per each game's own release schedule

??? = dark-skinned but in inhuman shades or dark but not [human] skin

[??? characters are excluded from series tallies by default]

"tanned"/tanned? = could be light-skin with a tan, could be light-skin in misleading lighting, could even be an attempt at an actual brown! who knows? not me!

[skintones, especially "darker" shades, can appear very different depending on lighting and art style: that is why i include two estimates for series with too many "tanned"/"warm" characters]

olive/warm-skinned = naturally "tan" or bronzed skin, as is common in west asia/north africa, southern europe, central asia, south-east asia, some parts of oceania, and indigenous america.

brown-skinned = light to warm brown skin (or pinks trying to pass as such), as is common in east africa, north africa/west asia, southern europe, central asia, south asia, some ethnic groups in east asia, indigenous america, oceania/polynesia, and persons of mixed ethnicity.

dark brown-skinned = what westerners might actually consider "black" (not actually exclusive to those of african heritage: pops up throughout asia, oceania, and indigenous america too)

whitewashed = characters who are light-skinned despite being based on persons/cultures who were not (i have not investigated every game for this, just those i already had context for)

ARCANA TWILIGHT [16.67%]

Will update as found, I just trust they'll be sensible

This is Laika from Counterside, she was raised to be a gangster maid and went to space where she watched all her friends die and then helped a kid with an assassination plot that won her a sports championship. The thing from space is back and speaks to her in red text. Distort her pleas so I have drawing inspiration? Will absolutely share the results, but no pressure

Of course! I read a little more about her, and she unironically seems like a good candidate for distortion. At least according to the wiki, the place she grew up sounds a lot like the city.

She's definitely going to be gun heavy, with also space themes.

I'd say her hands and feet would become a bullets, since I read that she once compared herself to a bullet. These bullets would be sharp, and so she has extra "legs" more akin to Sniper stands to keep her balance.

Since she also shares the name with a Soviet dog sent to space, she will be on all fours with a dog-like snout and mouth, but her head is transformed into a glowing moon-like rock.

She has torn rags on and man starry hands wrapped around her body, she has human skin, but it's frozen and bloated, like how it would be in space.
