Initiator

For the term, see Cursed Children.

Initiator (イニシエーター Inishiētō) is a title given to Civil Security workers with the Gastrea Virus.

Description
Initiators are given the task to utilize their superhuman abilities when in combat to aid the Promoters. They possess the Gastrea Virus within their bodies, being able to control it, and are all characterized as 10-year old girls with red eyes. When Initiators release their power, their red eyes release a glow. Each Initiator seems to possess a different animal gene, which are called "model" in Civil Security.

Initiator's Ability: Physique
Initiators prove themselves to be great combatants when it comes to fighting Gastrea of low and high stages, as shown when Enju Aihara quickly annihilates a stage I Gastrea with a single kick to the eye, as well as sending it several feet back with the impact of the kick. This is further supported when she jumps many feet from the ground and crashes into a Gastrea, taking it to the ground with her and surely enough crushing it without any sign of fatigue. Further testaments to said statement are when Kayo jumps into the air and easily kicks Shōgen Ikuma's Sword with one foot, and with little to no effort at all, reaching the location in mere seconds. They have also proven to be able to destroy the terrain around them with a single use of her weapons. Further, they are able to face many opponents at once. Kohina's abilities are also displayed when she confronts Enju, executing multiple trees in the vicinity.

Initiator's Ability: Agility
Initiators can outrun extremely fast Gastrea and attacks thrown at them whilst carrying their Promoters on their backs, without losing any energy in the process. Further; when Enju fights with a Gastrea that attacked her with liquid that glued her to the ground, Enju portrays remarkable speed as she un-glues herself and kills the Gastrea in mere second.

Initiator's Ability: Recovery
As a result of the Gastrea blood in their veins, Initiators can recover their own wounds at an amazing rate. When they do so, smoke covers the wound and, after it clears, the spot appears unharmed.
