Here are the latest details, via Project Lumina:
Characters
Hisui and Kohaku will be available as playable characters in Melty Blood Type Lumina!
Hisui
A quiet, yet deeply affectionate maid.
A maid for the Tohno family, responsible for household chores (except cooking) and taking care of Shiki. She is Kohaku’s younger twin. Unlike her sister, she is known for wearing more modern, non-traditional clothing.
A quiet nature makes her true feelings difficult to read, and her formal way of speaking has led Shiki to see her as being rather mechanical. Her fighting skills are not quite on the same level as her sister, but she holds her own well enough.
Kohaku
A young girl who brightens the Tohno residence with her smile.
She and her twin sister Hisui have worked for the Tohno family since they were young. Her trademark outfit is an apron over a classic kimono. Apart from assisting Akiha, she does household chores and tends the garden. Her pharmaceutical knowledge means she is also responsible for Shiki when he falls ill. She is endlessly cheerful, always willing to help, and wears a constant smile.
In battle, Kohaku can be seen wielding the sword she keeps hidden in her broom, calling on strange plants, and even dropping fire bombs from above as if by magic. How she is capable of such things is still a mystery to those around her.
Systems

Melty Blood Type Lumina
Arc Drive / Last Arc
Arc Drive is an extremely powerful Special that uses three full gauges to perform!
Last Arc is a super Special that dishes out incredible damage at the cost of four full Magic Circuit gauges, but is also usable under Blood Heat status!
Moon Skill
Moon Skills are powerful Specials that can be unleashed by consuming the Moon Icons that appear next to the Life Gauge.
They deal greater damage than regular Specials, and are not only powerful but easy to activate with simple controls using combinations of the directional buttons and attack buttons.
Moon Drive
A power-up that can be activated by using all of your Moon Icons any time you have more than one half full.
It temporarily boosts your Moon Skill, increases your Magic Circuit or number of possible Jumps/Dashes, as well as providing various other effects.
