Since I will be doing an explanation of the Seven Sages in the game THERE WILL BE SPOILERS SO BE CAREFUL!
Also apologies for all the design changes for the characters all their outfits look much better in the game.

This fanart was just for fun I gender swapped 3 of the characters because what they represent means their gender doesn't matter. Considering the wiki for Hyper doesn't explain what each sage represents I will do it myself in Fanart so other fans of the game can understand why this story is so well done compared to the previous two and why the villains behave in certain ways.

Pirachu: The reason for his design in the game is when piracy started to become a major problem in Japan started with the pokemon games and Pirachu represents those at the very bottom of the piracy chain who distribute. This would explain why he is so weak in the game and never really achieves much at all as those who distribute just do it for the money and arn't very loyal to anyone. This explains why he is mostly seen with Arfoire and Copypaste because those two represent different parts of piracy as well.

Arfoire: Her design of being a witch is based of her Japanese name Magiquone that is why it won't make as much sense to the Western audience. What she represents is a virus designed to help crack and 'homebrew' consoles and to get through their security measures so since she is related to piracy she is paired with others who represent it as well. It explains why she has such hatred towards the CPUs as she was an existence created to be harmful to the games industry and consoles in particular.

Mr. Bad: I have to say I dislike his western name so I will refer to him as Akudaijin which means evil minister and makes much more sense that way. Akudaijin's character design is directly based off a famous politician in Japan dedicated to bringing down the games industry so his character in the game represents any politician that has ever tried to bring down or belittle the games industry to get ahead in the world of politics so that represents the majority of politicians lol. Since politicians have frequently tried to cause problems for the games industry and always try to appear perfect in front of the public his character is done perfectly in the game and it would explain why he is one of the most successful of the seven sages. SPOILER... Also considering that Nintendo is considered the saviour of the games industry after the console market crashed in the early 80's it is understandable you first encounter him doing a plot in the nation of Lowee and then goes on to troll Blanc.

Rei Ryghts: She is the leader of the group and considering this is the world of the games industry its based in it makes sense as that she is the leader because SPOILER.... (She is a CPU based on the Atari). Her being the true villain of the game couldn't be more appropiate since as is explained on the wiki the Atari was responsible for the crash in the console market during 1983 a few years before the game starts and I won't say anymore than that but I was impressed by how well they handled her character.

Anonydeath: The troll of the game and is easily the most successful of the seven sages. WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD! I based his female design off the fact he considering himself a maiden at heart and when he leaves his power suit he considered a pretty attractive guy. The other reason I made him a female is because Anonydeath represents the infamous real life group of hackers known as Anonymous. Considering how Anonymous members can be anybody and can never truly be defeated this character is handled really well in the game and what Anonymous were most famous for was their attack on the PS 3 which explains his obsession with Noire. Since this character never gets beaten but leaves out of boredom much to the upset of some fans of the game but it makes sense considering who this character represents.

Copypaste: This character is actually a male robot but I changed him into a human female and based her appearance of his colour scheme and gave her a wild appearance dedicated to destruction. Copypaste represents part of the piracy chain and those who create the pirated games. His personality in the game isn't as obvious as some of the other characters but considering he represents a part of piracy it is understandable that he has such a destructive nature and is partnered with Arfoire on occasions during the game.

Abnes: Is a bit of a funny character really and chooses less aggressive methods due to who she represents from real life. She represents all the mothers that have been concerned about gaming and regularly claimed how damaging it is for younger children. However there are so many things in place now to help parents prevent their young children from seeing inappropiate content most of the blame can only be their fault rather than the industry. SPOILER It would also explain why she is someone you don't fight once and is the next most useless member of the seven after Pirachu.

This is to help those already beat the game enjoy it more since some of the references and what the villains represent can be hard to pick up on especially without the background knowledge that newer gamers might be lacking. Considering both the wiki and reviewers of the game didn't really seem to understand them either and there is a large Hyper fan base I thought I would help out and that way others can enjoy the story more.
