Code Lyoko Season 5

Code Lyoko Evolution (S5) is the new season of the current series that would have been aired in 2008. The setting takes place two years after the events of Season 4 and the Lyoko Warriors have gained newer recruits, as well as find new mysteries on Lyoko.

Primary Characters
Lyoko Warriors The Lyoko Warriors (also referred to as "the group", "the team" or "the gang") is the name of the group of teenagers who oppose the digital entity X.A.N.A., by accessing the powers of the Supercomputer to battle it on the virtual world of Lyoko and beyond. The members are the six main characters of Code Lyoko; Jeremie Belpois, Aelita Schaeffer, Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, Yumi Ishiyama, and William Dunbar. The forming of the group is seen in X.A.N.A. Awakens, Part 1, and is first named in Part 2.
 * Jeremie Belpois – Jeremie is more often than not the team's main leader and intellectual strategist, as well as their source of profound knowledge and intelligence. Jeremie acts as "the operator"; he manages everything for virtualizing and devirtualizing, anything that does with the Supercomputer. He is Aelita's love interest, and their romantic relationship has been featured throughout the series, although it does not receive as much focus as Ulrich and Yumi's romantic relationship. He is also the youngest of the group.
 * Aelita Schaeffer – Aelita was originally thought to be a mere computer program in the form of a human body until she was successfully materialized on Earth by Jeremie, and her real history was gradually revealed. She has the ability to use the interfaces in Lyoko. Originally a defenseless elf on Lyoko, Aelita becomes a strong angel with wings in the fourth season. Her main weapon is energy fields which can destroy monsters on contact and she also possesses the ability to alter, control and manipulate the landscapes and terrain of Lyoko or create invulnerable clones of herself (Creativity). She is also able to freeze her enemies in a block of ice (Petrification).
 * Ulrich Stern – Ulrich is hotheaded, stubborn, and shy, but loyal and thoughtful to his friends. In the first season, Ulrich was the apparent leader in Lyoko. However, this role was diminished in the following seasons. Ulrich is a samurai on Lyoko, with the abilities to split into three (Triplicate) and run very quickly (Super Sprint). His weapon is a katana, but given dual katanas in the fourth season. Ulrich is Yumi's love interest and their relationship is, to say in the least, "complicated". However, as repeatedly shown throughout the series, it is very clear that Ulrich truly loves Yumi. Early on in the series, he and William were firm rivals, both desiring Yumi's affection.
 * Odd Della Robbia – Odd is the jokester of the team, often making jokes on a consistent basis, much to his team members' annoyance. Odd has blonde hair with a purple diamond. Odd is messy, disorganized, and cheap although he is loyal and honest. Odd acts as more of a member than a leader, although he has taken command on occasion, especially in Marabounta. Odd is a cat on Lyoko and defends himself with laser arrows and his shield. Odd originally had the ability to see the future in Season 1. However, this ability was later removed.
 * Yumi Ishiyama – Yumi is the most mature one of the group, that is, the person who offers common sense and ideas when the others are too incompetent or scared. Yumi is the second oldest and is somewhat the leader. Although, this role is not "officially" established. Yumi was originally a geisha on Lyoko, reflecting her Japanese heritage and has the ability to move various objects with her mind (Telekinesis). Her Lyoko avatar has been a ninja since Season 4. She is also gifted in acrobatics (as she and Ulrich practice Pencak Silat) and can balance and think herself through in sticky situations. She is Ulrich's love interest, but repeatedly says that they are just good friends. However, this often proves not to be the case and she proves to have a rather unclear relationship with him at times.
 * William Dunbar– While a new member to the team in Double Trouble, he still had to remain on Earth during X.A.N.A.'s attacks until he officially had access to his avatar in Final Round and became a complete Lyoko Warrior. Since the digital world caught his attention, he displayed more bravery but was blind around the monster's and unaware about the true danger, thus making him cocky. When X.A.N.A. managed to possess him, he became more like the program and was in a way tested to be sure that his abilities were perfect for its plan to destroy the Core. William then became X.A.N.A.'s own and first X.A.N.A. Warrior throughout the rest of fourth season while the program blended its core aspects with him. William was so reliable for its dominance, that X.A.N.A. would be in control more than once until it decided he could control his own actions, except the program's cruel programming made a change in position rare. With the understanding of William's status was unclear, they neglected his goal to side with his team and mistook him for the evil that brainwashed him. William carries a sword but his own heart shows he is not a lost cause or monster under any situation. He is also the oldest. Since Season 5, he's grown a goatee and has fallen for another girl who transferred from her other school, Samantha Knight. His Lyoko avatar is the same outfit from when he was under XANA's control, only the colors are light teal blue with light cyan accents and white boots, and his grey gauntlet is more studded than spikey. His outfit and Zweihander have a spiral triangle. His powers are reverted back to normal, including his Super Smoke which is now Smoke Burst. However, because he was under XANA's control, most of his powers are not fully recovered.

Secondary Members

 * Emily LeDuc- She is tall, dark-haired, and generally quiet, but quick to temper. She is one of the minor characters who now becomes a major character. She wears a tea rose long sleeve shirt under a cardinal t-shirt with blue pants, wearing glasses and her hair is dark brown. She made her first prominent appearance in Swarming Attack, in which she was one of the girls Odd named as a culprit for having written a love letter to Ulrich. Odd theorized that Emily wrote the letter in that episode, but later covered for this by saying that she was in love with Jim. Emily ended up slapping him for that.In the episode Routine, she displayed an interest in Ulrich that he returned, though this was due to a frustration with the lack of progress in his relationship with Yumi. At the end of the episode, Ulrich and Emily seemed to be friends, with Emily even remarking about the love between Ulrich and Yumi when Ulrich left a conversation with Emily to catch up with Yumi. She also speaks in Aelita where Odd tries to ask her something, but she interrupts him by giving a comment and withdraws. She was transformed into a zombie in Attack of the Zombies, along with almost every other student and teacher. She was also possessed by X.A.N.A. in Bad Connection. In Season 5, Emily is now dating Theo, who is in the same grade as her. On Lyoko, her (traditional) avatar is a crimson red bodysuit with armor plating on the torso and upper rib cage, black fingerless elbow-length gloves, shoulder pads and mid-thigh boots. She also has on a black mask that covers half of her face and her hair is styled into a braid with bangs covering her forehead. Her weapon of choice is a pair of sais. Her power is Teleportation which allows her to leave a decoy to confuse XANA's monsters for short periods of time. On her armor and sais is a diamond-shaped ruby. Throughout the season, Emily's new civilian outfit is a coral red shirt that stops halfway on the forearms with an opening at the chest, a carmine red vest over her shirt, a denim blue pleated skirt, black leggings that stop below the knees, and gray ankle-length sneakers. On Lyoko, she upgraded to a cardinal red bodysuit that resembles Ulrich's but has Aelita's attributes (except without a skirt) with burgundy accents and a black belt that holds her sais. Her powers are also upgraded with a camouflage ability to blend in with the surroundings.
 * Theo Gauthier-A student at Kadic Academy. He wears orange flannel shirt with a green jacket shirt similar to Ulrich's and blue pants, and has brown hair. He appeared in the episode Claustrophobia. He showed to having an interest in Sissi in this episode, resulting in jealousy from Herb Pichon. Although in a Time Reversion, Odd instead sparks an interest in him towards Yumi in order to prevent rivalry between Theo and Herb. However, this also is shown to have made Ulrich jealous when Theo offers to walk Yumi home from a soccer game with his arm around her. Theo continued appearing from the second season, appearing regularly without much importance. He speaks in "Tip-Top Shape". In "The Lake", after an electric shock, he exclaims to Jim that he is afraid. He was possessed in "Bad Connection". In Season 5, Theo is now dating Emily, whom he is in the same grade with. On Lyoko, his (traditional) avatar is a long-sleeve tunic made out of copper scales, a dark brown crochet neck warmer bordered over the shoulders, a black strap over the left shoulder that holds his bo staff and around his waist, matching gauntlets with two bronze buckles and a pauldron on the right shoulder, olive green trousers, and gray flat boots. He also wears a copper headband tied around his head. His power is Fox Trot, allowing him to leave illusions of himself in a form of firey mists. Throughout the season, Theo's new civilian outfit is a light brown polo shirt with an orange flared collar, a forest green blazer over his shirt, denim blue cargo pants, and silvery-white slip-on shoes. On Lyoko, he's upgraded to a two-toned copper bodysuit with a darker brown belt. His bo staff is also upgraded to a cyber staff that when he grips on it tightly, a blue beam is extended on both sides, allowing him to deflect attacks much easier. His new headband now fades from orange in the center to brown in the back like Ulrich's.
 * Samantha Knight- Samantha "Sam" Knight is one of the many girls that Odd has dated over the course of the show. She, however, is different in many ways from the rest. For example, she doesn't attend Kadic Academy. She first appeared in the episode Rock Bottom? and made her last appearance in Final Round. Samantha has a dark-skin tone and dark brown hair with red streaks on the side about the same length as Yumi's. Her outfit consists of a dark gray short sleeved shirt with red claw marks on the front that bares a midriff, black bell-bottoms, a red plaid skirt over them, and dark gray shoes. She also has on a black choker and black wristbands. Samantha attended Mathison, a school near Kadic Academy. She and Odd met prior to the events of Rock Bottom? and Odd invited her to DJ at a party they were having at Yumi's house. Coming from a poor family, Sam tried to steal a laptop from Kadic's computer lab so she could DJ, since she couldn't afford one herself. Odd got in trouble for covering for her. Odd ended up saving her life later in the episode. Her monetary status also prevented her from attending Kadic with Odd. She appears again in Final Round after a year of being away from Odd. Apparently, her family moved to a house on the French coast, despite being poor. Odd later breaks up with her, but stays on good terms with her after she lies to him about a X.A.N.A. attack, in which Ulrich asked her to tell Odd about (which he tells her to tell him to go to "he knows where right away"). They stay on good terms, even despite her moving far away from Kadic. In Season 5, Samantha comes back as the new student at Kadic and has fallen for another boy who's also transferred from his other school, William Dunbar. On Lyoko, her avatar is a savoy blue long-sleeve turtleneck under a short-sleeve, knee-length fitted dashiki in jonquil orange with ivory lines converging in the form of a fleur de lis lotus, Egyptian blue skinny trousers, and tall dark gray boots. Her hair is styled swept back and has on a indigo satin silk headband with light blue jade pendant embedded with a waves symbol. Her power is hydrokinesis, which allows her to control the water in any sector, no matter what form it's in. Her second power, cryokinesis, is useful for turning water into ice, making her have unlimited weaponry. Throughout the season, Sam's new civilian outfit is a cropped dark gray short-sleeve hoodie with drawstrings, a spaghetti string green camouflage tank top with three red streaks over her hoodie, black denim khaki skirt, and black hiking boots with mohagany and brick argyle leg warmers. Her hair has grown at a waist-length. On Lyoko, she's upgraded to a jonquil orange bodysuit with an ivory gorget, matching gauntlets, a skirt like Aelita's in azure blue, and mid-wedge boots at a knee length. On her gorget and gauntlets is a light blue ruby. Her hair remained the same as it was in her civilian form, and her headband is traded for a chromium blue circlet with the same light blue jade. Also, she's gained aura shields similar to Aelita's Energy Fields, and the rubies on her collar produce butterfly wings on her back for flight.
 * Francine "Frankie" Sandi​​- Francine is the exchange student for Kadic Academy. She has citron red/amber hair. Her outfit consists of a black cropped sweater over a sleeveless navy blue turtleneck, black skintight denim pants and calf-high heeled motorcycle boots with three diamond-studded belts. Her hair is wavy and voluminous at a waist-length and styled into a ponytail by a sterling silver EZ comb. On her necklace is rose gold heart-shaped locket with heart-shaped rose quartz in the center, engraved with her name in gold. When she is virtualized for the first time, she gains a cat-like appearance with paws and a tail. Her weapons are laser spears, a whip and warblades. She possesses the ability of every species of wildcats known to man; the speed and mimicry of a cheetah, the aggression of a tiger, the agility of a leopard, the stealthiness of a jaguar, and the courage of a lion. Because of her fascination with sorcery, Francine is also capable of producing glyphs that will give a strong force of propelling XANA's monsters into each other or for jumping out of the way. Her hidden ability (Preflexes) allows her to sense an incoming projectile almost at an instant. Throughout the season, Francine's new civilian outfit is a black halterneck knee-length dress with a back zipper, dark blue pantyhose, and black mid-thigh boots with with very heels. Her hair is let down and the bangs are side-swept with a small wispy bit in the middle. On Lyoko, her upgraded outfit is a mix between Aelita and Odd's. It is a navy blue and light blue bodysuit with detachable sleeves and black paws over them, and mid-thigh boots with gold edgings. Her hair remained the same as her civilian form, and her human ears are discarded for real cat ears atop her head. A true perceptionist by nature, Francine doesn't see one way, she sees another--an alternative. Whenever she's low on ammo or if her warblades are jammed, she will occasionally use XANA's monsters for temporary arsenal or the environment to her advantage. These qualities are demonstrated when she sets up traps for the Bloks in the Forest, hiding in the mist from approaching Hornets in the Mountain Sector, using broken pieces of ice as weapons against the Tarantulas in the Ice Sector, and hiding in plain sight from Volkanoids in the Volcano Sector. And during her first encounter with Kolossus, she can see not the targets on its body, but what the body is made of; lava, and emitted from it is steam. Her resourcefulness did not go unnoticed when a certain cat boy fell for her right away after hearing news of a new student enrolling in Kadic and invited her for a date as a reward for inspiring the gang to fight back on Lyoko. But her inspiration to the team isn't the only thing that brought them back to Lyoko. For some reason, her presence seemed to spark a memory of XANA, and he will go whatever means to keep her in the dark, regardless of her not really knowing how he was involved in her past.
 * Elizabeth "Sissi" Delmas​- She is better known by her nickname, Sissi, whose goal is to win the heart of Ulrich. In X.A.N.A. Awakens, Sissi is yet again trying to do just this. But when Ulrich doesn't show up that night, she storms off to find him, running into Odd, who is following Ulrich, who kidnapped Kiwi. She goes with Odd to the factory and inadvertently stumbles upon the secret of Lyoko, and becomes part of the gang. The next day, Sissi expresses her interest in going to Lyoko. However, after being targeted in X.A.N.A.'s attack, Sissi reveals the secret to her father and is kicked out of the group for betraying them. She did so out of concern for her friends' lives, but they didn't know this and treat her coldly, sparking a feud between her and them. A return to the past is launched, and Sissi no longer remembers any of the events that happened. She did aid the team again many times, such as Ultimatum for example, when she operated the supercomputer. In the end, however, she always loses any memory of her time aiding the team because of the temporal reversion. The Lyoko Warriors would eventually reconcile with her at the end of the fourth and final season, much to her happiness. In Season 5, when XANA made his first return to power, Sissi became motivated in helping out the Warriors any way she can to help her bedridden father. When they returned to the Factory on account of Frankie's assistance and inspiration to fight back, she only remained in the lab with Jeremy still hesitant about going to Lyoko worrying not just about her father, but everybody at the school. And when she sees the Kolossus for the first time, she heads back to the school and brings Theo, Emily and Samantha with her to the Factory to assist the others on Lyoko. While it came time to save her father from a XANA attack, Sissi is virtualized for the first time in her life as a healer and a fighter all rolled into one. Her avatar (traditional) is a turtleneck dress with a vivid color gradation from baby pink to dark pink at the hem, dark magenta tights, and deep fuchsia boots with high wedged heels. Her hair is the same style as her civilian form and has gold yellow star clipped to the side, as well as the one on her pale pink wrist-length fingerless gloves. Throughout the season, Sissi's upgraded to spring green bodysuit with dark pink accents and gold outlining on the shoulders, chest, and the sides, along with gold mid-wedges. She also has a light green tattoo on the forehead and a gold tiara. Her powers are to heal and regenerate life points each time they are down to 10 or lower. If there are others who are possessed by XANA, Sissi can absorb the dark matter that controls them, convert it into a weapon, and uses it against monsters.
 * Patrick Belpois- The cousin of Jeremie Belpois. He has only appeared once in Cousins Once Removed. Patrick appears to be the complete opposite of Jeremie. He's "cool", studies martial arts, a games fan, and a sports fan. Despite what his outfit may say about him, Patrick seems to be a very kind person towards others and especially Jeremie, this could be why he "stole" Jeremie's friends. Patrick wears jeans, a black biker jacket with a dark blue shirt underneath, and has his hair gelled up and has very light skin. According to Jeremie, he and Patrick had had a rough time when they were younger, as Patrick unintentionally stole Jeremie's friends during their time at summer camp several years ago. Jeremie has, since then, developed a dislike for him and grew worried and angry that Patrick would once again steal his friends. This fear intensified when Aelita, Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi ended up getting along with him. Patrick and Jeremie became friends when they fought against a X.A.N.A.-possessed Herb and Sissi. His parents seemed interested in enrolling him into Kadic Academy, but they later decided that he should go to a school near them, much to him and his cousin's disappointment. He is neither mentioned nor seen afterwards. In Season 5, he returns along with Brynga as they are seen dating somewhere in the city next to a newstand. After a while, Patrick is heading to his cousin's parents' house he was staying in until his paperwork is completed for him to get aquainted as Jeremy's roommate when one of XANA's specters possessed him and Brynga as blackmail for Jeremy to send Aelita and Francine to Lyoko and have their minds taken over via Hydrazoa, or have his cousin and Sissi's penpal be liquidated by whatever means. On Lyoko, his avatar is a black, sleeveless thigh-length armor-like tunic,  matching gauntlets with light blue-gray spirals pointing upwards and skin-tight trousers tucked in dark grey boots. The part of his shoulders is light blue-gray with diamond-shaped smokey quartz on the chest. His hair is tousled and the bangs cover the left part of his face over his eye. His weapons of choice are two crescent shaped blades, each with a ring-shaped center. The large outer blades have hooked points that point back toward the grip. They have four smaller blades located in pairs above and below the grip, which is wrapped in red cloth and curved to form part of the middle ring. The large outer blades are capable of collapsing toward the grip. Atop the ring and below the upper blades is a pair of rectangular gun barrels. Within the main ring is a smaller, thinner ring connected by a pin to the forward facing portion of the weapons, acting as a trigger for the barrels. Combined with Aikido, he's even skilled in melee and able to throw his weapons in such a way they're were to come back to his hand, or he can deflect lasers with them. His powers allow him to duplicate multiple shadow versions of himself to confuse his enemies.
 * Brynga Heringsdötir- Sissi's penpal from Iceland. Her first and only appearance in the series was in the episode Kadic Bombshell. She is voiced by Jodi Forrest with a thick Norse accent, but she is very good at speaking English and French. When she first arrived at Kadic, all the boys in school were attracted to her and all the girls wanted to know her beauty secrets. This made Sissi jealous because she was no longer "the most popular girl in school." At first, Odd was not very interested in her, but after getting a good look at her, he becomes obsessed with her. She also seemingly takes a liking to him as well, calling him the Icelandic word for "sweetheart." She and Odd started dating the same day they met. That afternoon, Odd introduced Brynja to the group. Like every other boy in the school, Ulrich and Jeremie are entranced by her good looks. Aelita and Yumi were bitter and jealous that she is getting all the attention and act rather cold towards her. That night, the group confronts Odd about her to which he retorts that they are all just envious. Brynja overhears this and is slightly upset. Later that night, Brynja asks Odd if he could get nicer friends, however he denies this, saying that his friends are special - blurting out the truth about their connection to Lyoko. Brynja demands an explanation, so Odd takes her to the factory (blindfolded) and shows her the lab. In there, she couldn't contain her amazement and tries out the keyboard on the Supercomputer, not aware that it was, in fact, running a program. As soon as the others find out, they get angry and kick Odd out of the group. The next day, Odd and Brynja went to the pool together, but Odd decides to leave it to fight X.A.N.A. William, so Brynja breaks up with him, believing she was stood up and Odd got bored with her. The next day, Sissi had Brynja sent to the countryside to stay with her cousin out of jealousy. In Season 5, she returns along with Patrick as they are seen dating somewhere in the city next to a newstand. After a while, she was heading to Sissi's mother's home, which is an apartment building in the city, where's she's staying until her paperwork is done for her to get aquainted as Sissi's roommate when one of XANA's specters possessed her and Patrick as blackmail for Jeremy to send Aelita and Francine to Lyoko and have their minds taken over via Hydrazoa, or have Sissi's penpal and his cousin be liquidated by whatever means. On Lyoko, her avatar appears to be Viking-based. It is a forest green light green-edged thigh-length collared fitted frock with a built-in shawl, matching detachable sleeves, and dark ice blue trousers tucked in brown and white fur boots. Her hair is styled into a braid and has on a kransk, a type of metal and leather headband. Her powers are mainly geokinesis and terrakinesis, mostly in either the Desert Sector or the Mountain Sector, but since she's adapted to other sectors on Lyoko, she now possesses another form of terrakinesis called crystallokinesis, which allows her to produce and manipulate crystals at will. When she said she wanted to know more about what's beyond the Supercomputer, this is not what she had in mind. But after learning what Odd and the others do at the Factory, she feels guilty for what happened, and possibly humiliated, especially when she sees Francine, her other penpal before Sissi, is with them.

Antagonists
XANA- X.A.N.A. (or simply XANA) is the main antagonist of the entire Code Lyoko franchise. It is a multi-agent virus program that has gained sentience and infected the Supercomputer that holds Lyoko. Its ambition is to cause destruction and eliminate its only obstacles, the Lyoko Warriors. After his supposed destruction, XANA was able to survive via a multi-agent program Jeremy created by re-engineering it and use it as its own to infect hundreds of computers like before and instead of re-creating Replikas, he's only harnessing their energy to re-gain his strength back and still cause havoc on Earth to prevent the Lyoko Warriors from coming back to the Factory and fight back.
