The following is a list of characters from the Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere anime series.
Main characters
- Tori Aoi (葵・トーリ Aoi Tōri)
- Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese); Josh Grelle (English)
- Handle name: Me (俺 Ore)
- The main protagonist. He is the head of Musashi Ariadust Academy's Supreme Federation and President of the student council. His athletics and grades are average. However, because he doesn't know the meaning of depressed and has an incredibly cheerful attitude, and the only time he ever cried was when his childhood friend Horizon Ariadust died. He knows a lot of strip jokes, and often plays the fool but he's very respected nonetheless. After he is declared Viceroy of Musashi along Horizon, Tori gains access to one-fourth of the ship's energy supply, and by making a contract to the Asama Shrine he gains a special power that allows him to channel that energy supply to his allies, granting them limitless power. This ability is also used by Horizon to activate Ólos Phthonos and unlock the true power of the Mortal Sin Armaments in her possession. The condition for the ability to properly work is that he has to always be happy for the rest of his life, and a single flick of sadness at his heart may provoke a backlash that can kill him. Despite his fool play, he has proven himself as a capable leader, coming with unexpected solutions to the most intricate difficulties and also being skilled in debates as seen when he confronts the opinions of Masazumi Honda and later P-01s.
- P-01s (ピー・ゼロワンエス Pī Zerowan'esu) / Horizon Ariadust (ホライゾン・アリアダスト Horaizon Ariadasuto)
- Voiced by: Minori Chihara (Japanese); Emily Neves (English)
- Handle name: Horako (ホラ子 Horako)
- The main female protagonist. She is an android employed at the bakery/snack shop Blue Thunder, which is popular among the Musashi students. She aimlessly appeared one year ago and the owner of Blue Thunder took her in, but she has no memories prior to that. She is emotionless and unsociable, but she works very hard at Blue Thunder. She is also the reason why Tori started going back to the Blue Thunder, because she resembled Horizon, Tori's childhood friend and love interest who supposedly died ten years earlier. Later he finds out that she is Horizon herself, but also as P-01s she has the ninth Mortal Sin Armament, Ólos Phthonos, with the feeling of envy attached to it. Her emotions are spread out into the Nine Mortal Sin Armaments, which Tori vows to gather for Horizon, thus "conquering the world." Towards the end of anime's first season, she regains her feeling of sadness when she came into possession of Muneshige Tachibana's Mortal Sin Armament, the Lypē Katathlipsē, and cried while firing its Overdrive Activation. After obtaining Thomas Shakespeare's Mortal Sin Armament, the Aspida Philargia, Horizon regains her feelings of ambition, promising to make use of her new-found greed to have her classmates stop the apocalypse and claim a better future for all of Musashi. P-01s is the short name for Phtonos-01s, the OS for the Mortal Sin Armaments. Ólos Phthonos is the system that taps into Horizon's soul, allowing Horizon to use the Soul Activation of all Mortal Sin Armaments.

Terminology
General terms
- Testament
- A history book that records the history of the former earth. To ensure mankind's eventual return to space, the original History is recreated by reenacting its main events in the chronological order with selected individuals reprising the role of historical figures of said events. For some reason the recreation of History is halted in 1648 with the last event predicted to be reenacted being the Peace of Westphalia. There are rumors that this occurs because the apocalypse is set to happen after these particular events. In these events, the Far East currently play a neutral role as by that time in the original History, Japan was under the Shogunate of Tokugawa, isolated from the rest of world, thus having little to no participation at all in events occurring overseas.
- Harmonic Divine States
- Administrative divisions ruled by different countries in the Testament era. The Harmonic Divine States are the Far East (ruled by Japan), Tres España (Spain and Portugal), K.P.A. Italia (Italy), Hexagone Française (France), England, Qing-Takeda (China), Sviet Rus (Russia), P.A. ODA (Ottoman Empire), M.H.R.R. (Holy Roman Empire), United States of India and the Africa Union. Several areas were left undeveloped by purpose to be occupied in the future as the recreation of History continues, like the New Continent (Americas).
- Maus
- A miniature contractor god that can enhance the user's fighting capabilities.
- Divine Transmission (通神 Tsūshin)
- The way of wireless communication in this era. It's a pun with the word 通信 (Tsūshin), which means communication.

- The energy used to use abilities in the series.
- Ether (流体 Ryūtai)
- The basic substance that gives form to all existence. Mankind at that point is advanced enough to harness the Ether itself and use it as energy source and to construct materials directly from it. It is believed that the impending apocalypse is to be caused by a strange phenomena that recently appeared that consumes all Ether it comes in contact with and upon taking heed of it, the Harmonic Divine States start working together to keep it from spreading, to the point of sharing all research they make about it.
Armaments
- Armaments (武装 Busō) are technology used in this era.
