I could see him with a saber or cutlass of some kind. His outfit does kind of remind me of a Napoleonic era naval captain. To me what Nero is wearing has less of a Napoleonic era captain look and instead has more of an oriental look, like a Chinese Dynasty kind of look. I get this from the hooks on the right of his chest going along the black strip, and the sort of pattern on left hip that may be a part of a bigger design on his back.

I feel that Umber is going to take on a kind of big sister role to Juane, and will help him out with his awkwerdness and with his fighting, and overall help him with leading the team. Most of this comes putting her hand on his shoulder in the intro in a sort of we've got your back kind of way. I also get that she is going to be nice and quirky from the start of episode three when Juane says "Where am i supposed to find another nice quirky girl to talk to" and she appears behind him as he walks away.

I pretty much agree with you on Nero and Apricots personalities. With the addition that Nero will probably be quite sarcastic aswell. Yes, it did say that Nero's design seemed to be Asian-influenced, which could imply that he uses an Asian weapon. I don't think he'll use a japanese weapon, since Adam already uses a ninjato (with Iai to match). Personally, I think Nero's weapon would be a Chinese sword, like a dao, a kampilan, or a jian.
