Hilbert
""I always felt that... I was born to be something... something greater than this!""

A boy from the small Republic village of Whitelake, Hilbert is the self-proclaimed protector of his town and aspires to be a hero. Luckily for him, he's also the main character; before long, he's approached by the Mysterious Informant Zawu and told that he's actually descended from the great hero Alexander and destined to lead mankind against demons in a coming war. However, he also happens to be head-in-the-clouds idealistic.

Matilda


Captain of a special unit in the Republic army - the very unit that Hilbert joins.

She's loyal to her country, but has some issues with the army's higher-ups...

 * Improbable Weapon User: He uses a 'clawgem' - a gemstone that apparently gives him the power to physically attack enemies. Somehow.

 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Matilda's red.

As a descender of the Havali Elder, she is the 'Key' to awakening the demons of legend, or so the antagonists say.

A mysterious man with amnesia and formerly a Kingdom soldier, Ethan is accepted into the party through his promises of information they lack.

 * Angst Coma: Passes out when he remembers that.
 * Big Brother Instinct: He's really protective of Lorenza.

 * Nice Hat
 * Not So Stoic: He goes for the whole first half of the game without losing his composure once... and then Randolph mentions.

 * The Stoic

 * Cool Old Guy: Despite being over sixty, he still fights in your party and figures out how to solve any scientific problem the party runs into.

 * The Plan: Lives off these, and he's damn good at making them work out perfectly.

 * Armchair Military: He's plenty composed when he's giving orders from his office, but put him in an actual combat situation and he panics.
