The Main Characters

 * Vyse

""One day, I shall see what lies beyond the clouds, the so-called limits of the world.""

The hero of Skies of Arcadia, Vyse is a young, idealistic air pirate who dreams of sailing beyond the sunset. He fights with a pair of cutlasses.


 * Accidental Pervert: If you examine the Schmuck Bait yellow hankie on Aika's wall right when you get to Pirate Isle. Ouch.
 * The Captain: Of the Delphinus, the coolest Cool Airship in the game.
 * Captain's Log: Vyse's journal, which can be accessed through the menu.
 * Actually, everyone gets to write in it, not just him. He does tend to write the most important entries, though.
 * Chick Magnet
 * Detached Sleeves
 * Determinator: Holy hell is he ever.
 * Dual-Wielding: Though outside of S-Moves, he only actually uses one sword to attack. He uses the smaller, secondary one for blocking.
 * Eyepatch of Power: His goggles are actually in the form of this.
 * Expy: Of Captain Harlock.
 * Goggles Do Something Unusual: It's a zoom lens. And it detects moonfish.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: Except in battle. There is a code to remove them.
 * Gondor Calls for Aid:
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars:
 * The Hero: Naturally.
 * Heroes Love Dogs: If you recruit Pow, he continues to sail with Vyse long after the story's over.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords
 * Jumped At the Call
 * Just Like Robin Hood
 * The Kirk
 * Lovable Rogue
 * The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Subverted at the beginning where he and his father's crew attack Alfonso and steal his goods. Played straight for pretty much the rest of the game.
 * Playing with Fire: He learns red (fire) spells faster than the other 5 elements.
 * Shock and Awe: His specials are mostly electricity-based, though.

 * Rummage Sale Reject
 * Actually lampshaded by the Yafutomans.
 * Sword Beam: When attacking from a distance.
 * Razor Wind
 * Wise Beyond Their Years: An NPC lampshades this if you keep picking the right Swashbuckler options.

 * The Delphinus

A Super Prototype of a new class of airship designed by Admiral De Loco and the Valuan Armada, equipped with the most powerful cannons, armor plating, and a Moonstone Cannon.


 * Cool Airship
 * Global Airship: Once fully upgraded, it's the only fully global Global Airship.
 * Super Prototype: The first of the planned Delphinus-class battleships.
 * Wave Motion Gun: Moonstone Cannon... FIRE!


 * Aika

""Friends and treasures, which shall I take? Why both, of course!""

Vyse's childhood friend, who lost her parents when she was little. A tomboyish air pirate who loves treasure almost as much as she loves her friends, but she can't swim and is terrified of ghosts. She moves quickly and fights with a large boomerang.


 * Action Girl
 * Combat Medic: She's a good offensive character, and learns green magic, which is primarily healing spells, the fastest.
 * Conveniently an Orphan

 * Fiery Redhead
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Genki Girl
 * Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: On the American Dreamcast box art.
 * Goggles Do Nothing
 * Imagine Spot: Has, shall we say, a vivid imagination when it comes to foreign cultures. In summary, she predicts the desert heat will immolate Vyse instantly; that she will be eaten by monsters in the jungle; that she will be eaten by fish-people in Yafutoma; and that the arctic cold will cause Vyse to freeze instantly.
 * The Lancer: Hybrid of this and The Chick; unlike most Lancers, her personality doesn't differ significantly from Vyse's other than the fact that she's rather hyper.
 * Letting Her Hair Down: Undoes her hair stalks when she goes to bed. Notably, men aren't allowed to glimpse her in this state (and if Vyse does, he takes a pounding for his trouble).
 * Lovable Rogue
 * The McCoy
 * Mega Twintails
 * Mini-Dress of Power
 * Number Two: To Vyse
 * Pirate Girl

 * Precision-Guided Boomerang
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Rummage Sale Reject
 * The Southpaw
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Fina's Girly Girl.
 * Wingding Eyes: When stunned.

 * Given her dress and general Genkiness, Y is also often attributed to Selphie Tilmitt.


 * Fina

""I'm sorry... But I just cannot tell that to anyone.""

A mysterious girl from the Silver Civilization on a mission to recover the 6 moon crystals before the Valuan Empire does. She knows very little about the world outside her homeland. She is adept at magic and fights with her pet, Cupil.

 * The Spock
 * Squishy Wizard
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Aika's Tomboy.
 * Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Now and then somebody makes a big deal over how they've never seen clothes like hers before, but it's not particularly often.

 * Woman in White
 * Yin-Yang Bomb: Although she learns all magic quickly, she learns Silver (light/darkness or "Void") magic the fastest.

 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: He has a pet parrot named Willy. And he's a Chivalrous Pervert.

 * Pirate Parrot
 * More Dakka: "Come on... Dance for me." "You mess with me, you mess with Claudia!"

The Valuan Empire

""All the countries shall kneel before me!""

The ruler of the Valuan Empire and Enrique's mother, Teodora is a ruthless woman who will stop at nothing to unite the world under Valuan rule, as she believes is her destiny. She wants the moon crystals to aid in her goal, and to threaten anyone who would dare resist her by unleashing a Gigas.

 * Widow Woman: Implied that her husband's death is what spurred her Start of Darkness.


 * Enrique

""Mother, the course of this country is wrong!""

The prince of Valua, who wants to see a peaceful world earned through diplomacy, not violence and conquest. He fights with rapiers and sabers.


 * Asian Gal with White Guy: With Princess Moegi.
 * Bathos: It's clear that he's desperately trying to come off as cool at times, especially in his Special Moves, but a lot of the time it doesn't quite work... this is entirely in-keeping with his awkward mannerisms, though.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Really, Enrique, did you honestly think you could convince your mother not to harness the Gigas after returning to Valua?
 * Defector From Decadence
 * Jack of All Stats: Capable of using both offensive magic and physical attacks fairly effectively, but he's a bit slower than average to compensate, and his defense is often on par with Aika's.

 * Stab the Sky
 * Sword Beam: When attacking from a distance.
 * Token Enemy Minority
 * The White Prince: Notably subverted; Enrique lives a very sheltered life until his defection from Valua, but he shows a great deal of understanding and respect for most commoners. He is not a wise price either, though, as he does not share that archetype's traditional level of melancholia.
 * He does have many books from Valua that give information on the other cultures of the world.


 * Galcian

""I am not tolerant enough to give you a second chance.""

Grand Admiral of the Valuan Armada, Lord Galcian is loyal to one thing and one thing only: power. He wants to rule the world with an iron fist, and is pursuing the moon crystals to aid him. His flagships are the Serpent and the Hydra which, like all Valuan ships, are named for constellations.


 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * Beard of Evil
 * BFS: Particularly stands out since almost every other hand-to-hand combat weapon is a realistic size.
 * One-Handed Zweihander: "Vyse, I don't think we can take him." You got that right.
 * Big "What?" / Oh Crap: Upon realizing that.
 * Blondes Are Evil
 * The Brutal Dragon: For Empress Teodora.
 * The Coats Are Off
 * Dark Messiah: Belleza and Ramirez consider him one.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: After Alfonso cowardly kills his own Vice-Captain and abandons ship, Galcian relieves Alfonso's command of the Mid-Ocean fleet and forces him to restrict his operations to Ixa'taka.
 * Evil Is Hammy: For the most part, he's a very cold, calculating, and emotionless baddie....
 * Evil Laugh
 * Evil Mentor: Victorious in the case of Ramirez.
 * Good Hair, Evil Hair: Definitely evil hair.
 * High Collar of Doom: While wearing his cloak, at least.
 * Hitler Cam: As Ramirez glowingly describes the virtues of his boss, we see a cutscene of Galcian in this pose.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: It's possible to fight him early in the game. Just not advisable.
 * Insane Admiral
 * Laser-Guided Karma: His ruthlessness ultimately got the better of him. Or, at the very least, if you're, make sure they STAY dead.
 * Make an Example of Them: Mused over killing the Blue Rogues and leaving their carcasses "rotting in the sun"—but then admitted that they probably aren't dumb enough to resist capture.
 * Up to Eleven in the case of . They could use a little rain....
 * Mighty Glacier: You'll more-than-likely outspeed him during the battle, but he'll hit like a tonne of bricks unless you're careful.
 * Obviously Evil: What? You mean the pantomime mustache, high collar, and theme tune that sounds like a funeral march on evil pills didn't tip you off?
 * Why wait until his appearance in the story? His appearance in the intro makes him do a theatrical flourish towards the camera as the set turns into a flaming background around him.
 * Shock and Awe / Yin-Yang Bomb: Uses mostly Electric and Void magic in the battle against him.
 * The Starscream: To Empress Teodora. Played with in that she is the only one who doesn't seem to realize.
 * Take Over the World
 * Unflinching Walk: His Terminator stride while atop a fast-moving Valuan bullet train.

 * Ramirez

""...Slay the enemy. That is all.""

Galcian's former vice captain, who was promoted to Admiral of the newly-formed sixth fleet of the Valuan Armada. He would follow Galcian to his own death. His flagship is the Monoceros, meaning "unicorn" in Greek.


 * Aerith and Bob: At least when compared with the Silvite Elders, whose names all sound like Autobots.
 * Ambiguously Gay: Villainous White-Haired Pretty Boy? Check. Strictly platonic relationships with every woman he meets in the game? Check. Name of his ship is "unicorn" in Greek? Check.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking
 * Broken Pedestal: Galcian warned him not to place others too high. When his estimation of is shattered, Ramirez shifts his admiration to Galcian.
 * Bullying a Dragon: actually thought he and his men could take Ramirez in a fight. Bad idea.
 * Burial At Sea: Even with all that's happened, Vyse recognizes Ramirez as a fellow sailor and.
 * The Dragon: To another Dragon.
 * Evil Costume Switch: The additional scenes in Legends show Ramirez wearing all-white Silvite clothes (similar to Fina) when he's retrieved by the Valuans. He dons a suit of chrome armor upon joining Mendonsa's fleet, and finally the black uniform after.
 * Evil Counterpart: To Fina. Had Ramirez been the Silvite who was found by Vyse's crew, and Fina fallen into the hands of Valua, their fates might have been reversed.
 * He is also the complete opposite of main character Vyse.
 * Evil Is Deathly Cold: His S-moves have a bit of an ice-themed spin.
 * Face Heel Turn: Although it happened long before the story began.
 * Fallen Hero: According to Fina (and optional flashbacks), he used to be a lot like Vyse. The main difference was that he was(still is?) much more susceptible to other's wills.
 * Final Boss
 * Freudian Excuse:
 * He Knows Too Much: Forced to kill his after discovering his side venture in Ixa T'aka: a forced labor camp.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: you can reduce his HP to 1, but you can't kill him.
 * Horrible Judge of Character
 * Manly Tears: His eyes are still glistening when Vyse confronts him at last.
 * Tears of Blood: During the animation for his "Silver Tundra" attack, Ramirez raises his head, allowing a single tear of blood to roll down his cheek. Shudder...
 * Master Swordsman: The guy can cut light with his sword. He can also call up icy spires and impale people on them. Pretty boy though he may be, he is not one to be crossed, and you'd do very well to listen to Fina's advice the first time he gives you the choice of surrendering or dying.
 * Misanthrope Supreme
 * Not So Different: His old living quarters in the Great Silver Shrine is eerily similar to Vyse's loft on Pirate Isle. A model ship and cartography map are on display, and Fina confirms that Ramirez once dreamed of exploring the world.
 * Out of the Inferno: Twice.
 * Platonic Life Partners:
 * Recurring Boss: Though only 2 fights are actually necessary, the others are optional (and impossible to win).
 * Sink the Life Boats
 * Start of Darkness: Learned through the Moonfish and Piastol sidequest.
 * The Stoic:
 * Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum: Deciding the world must burn for not accepting Galcian as its ruler. He becomes the embodiment of in order to see the destruction through.

 * Used to Be a Sweet Kid: According to Fina and the Moonfish sidequest.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Wicked Cultured: Examining the objects in his room reveals that he is a fan of building models, geography, and literature.
 * That was before he lost faith in the world.
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist: He still remains a fanatical idealist, however, believing that only Galcian has what is necessary to lead the world.

 * Alfonso

""Consider yourself honored to be able to meet me.""

Admiral of the first fleet of the Valuan Armada, he got his position through connections and family ties. His ego is larger than his flagship, the Cygnus meaning "swan."


 * Aristocrats Are Evil: And how...
 * Big Bad Wannabe
 * Bishounen
 * Bling of War
 * Blond Guys Are Evil

 * Fluffy Tamer: He has two pet war beasts, both named Antonio.
 * Glory Hound
 * High Collar of Doom
 * Man in White
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Completely spoils DeLoco's plan to lock Vyse in an inescapable death trap. DeLoco is so furious, he eventually decides to just squash them both; but by then, Vyse has gotten away.
 * Selfish Evil: Discussed in-universe. After his first horrible failure, Galcian points out that Alfonso is a liar, a cheat, and an utter coward who is only out for his own personal gain who doesn't deserve to command the Mid-Ocean fleet.
 * Sissy Villain
 * Sixth Ranger: For the Valuan Admirals. He's the only one who is, quite simply, an utter failure in everything he does and is implied to have only earned his rank through his status rather than actual merit.
 * Small Name, Big Ego
 * Smug Snake
 * Starter Villain
 * Villain Exit Stage Left: He talks a good game, but he always winds up shoving his men aside in a race for the exit.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: As mentioned above, Alfonso doesn't seem to understand that Skies isn't the sort of story where bad guys don't punish other bad guys.


 * Gregorio

""I, Gregorio, shall not let you through!""

Admiral of the second fleet of the Valuan Armada, renowned for his incredible defensive tactics. He raised Prince Enrique, and has a very close bond with him. He has no interest in conquest, but is loyal to his country. His flagship, the Auriga or "charioteer," has a spiked hull used as a shield and a battering ram.


 * Badass Beard
 * Badass Grandpa
 * Blade on a Stick
 * The Dark Chick: One of the only two Valuan admirals who are actually decent people at heart.
 * The Big Guy: A lot of the time, however, he tends to come off as a heroic Five-Man Band member; which makes one wonder just what Valua was like before the empress went loco.
 * Friendly Enemy
 * Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: True to form, he carries a large ballistic shield into his duel with.
 * Mighty Glacier / Stone Wall: He's known for his excellent defensive tactics, but he still hits like a truck.
 * My Country, Right or Wrong: He doesn't believe that what Teodora and Galcian are trying to do is right, but he loves Valua. He fights for his country rather than its rulers.
 * Noble Top Enforcer
 * Officer and a Gentleman: Nice enough to send Enrique a dispatch announcing his intention to shell the town he's in.
 * Ramming Always Works: His fleet isn't so much composed of ships as airborne battering rams.
 * Shonen Hair
 * Worthy Opponent: To both the Blue Rogues

""Should I fire my big cannon, baby?""

 * Compensating for Something: "Hey Vyse! My cannon's bigger than yours!"


 * Double Entendre: "Hey Red, you should come over to my ship, we can rock the boat!"
 * Dumb Muscle: Although it's more down to the fact that he doesn't really think about the consequences of his actions rather than an actual lack of intelligence on his part.
 * Glass Cannon
 * Handsome Lech
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Kavorka Man: Claims "no woman in Valua" can resist him. Doesn't say much for their hygiene over there.

 * Freudian Excuse: Her father perished during the last great war, leaving his wife and daughter in abject poverty.
 * Friendly Enemy: She isn't on your side, but she doesn't want to fight and is trying to achieve the same goal as you; she just thinks the way to do it is to unite the world under a single ruler.
 * Half Truth: Everything she told Vyse about her family history while in her Bellena disguise was true. She just conveniently neglected to mention that her father was fighting on the Valuan side of the Valua-Nasr War.

 * The Evil Genius: Maybe not so much "evil" as "obsessive and mentally unstable."

The first Gigas, made by the red civilization and residing in Nasr, is activated by Belleza. It attacks with a supercharged heat beam known as the "Red Ray" from one of its four heads. It is put to rest by Belleza to avoid it rampaging and killing her crew.

 * Playing with Fire
 * Taken for Granite
 * Wave Motion Gun: Red Ray


 * Grendel

The second Gigas, made by the green civilization, is found in Ixa'taka. It is awakened by Ixa'taka's king and goes on a rampage when he is knocked unconscious. It has no real long range weapon, so it hurls boulders, and its punch can destroy small islands. Oddly, its attacks have little to do with healing or poison. It is defeated by falling into a river and being unable to pick itself up out of the ditch. It is then deactivated.


 * Badass Normal
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: It has no special attacks outside of hitting you REALLY hard... and throwing rocks REALLY HARD... and stomping your ship REALLY FREAKING HARD.
 * Cyber Cyclops
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: You win the fight not by reducing its HP to zero, but by knocking it off-balance so it falls into a canyon and gets stuck. Though if you're patient and determined enough, you can reduce its HP to zero (though it doesn't change the resulting cutscene).
 * Literary Allusion Title: To the antagonist of Beowulf
 * Our Giants Are Bigger
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning


 * Bluheim

The third is Yafutoma's Gigas, made by the blue civilization. It is a phoenix or dragon-like Gigas. It is the first Gigas with the capability of flight, as well as the first to be outright destroyed in ship-to-ship combat.


 * Beam Spam: The Wave Motion Gun attack Phoenix Ray.
 * Blow You Away: Uses wind and wave attacks.
 * Feathered Fiend: Though its wings appear to be split skin rather than feathers.
 * Giant Flyer
 * Our Dragons Are Different: It's part dragon, part bird.
 * Rule of Cool: Once defeated, it lands in a heap at the foot of Mt. Kazai. ...As opposed to the vast kilometers of empty clouds it could have fallen into.
 * Taken for Granite: When you first see it, it's encased in hardened lava.


 * Plergoth

The fourth Gigas, made by the purple civilization, is formally known as Plergoth, but is actually


 * An Ice Gigas
 * Death Equals Redemption:Only in its last moments does realize the folly of his vendetta, as  is a man-made monstrosity and didn't mean to hurt anyone.

 * Purple Is Powerful
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Roar Before Beating
 * Tragic Villain


 * Yeligar

The Yellow Civilization's Gigas is sealed under the Maw of Tartas in Valua and, as such, cannot be reached until you can fly to low altitudes. It breaks its seal, is killed, and never comes up again.


 * Beware My Stinger Tail: Basically a giant rail gun.
 * Giant Flyer
 * Giant Spider: Resembles one.
 * Our Dragons Are Different: Also kind of resembles one.
 * Shock and Awe


 * Zelos

The Silver Gigas, Zelos,


 * Apocalypse How: Capable of causing anything from a Class 0 to a Class 5. It only ever achieves Class 2 under the
 * Apocalypse Wow: You can just smell the fear in
 * The Blank: The only Gigas with no semblance of a face, or even a head, until it . Then, it fits the definition of this trope in a much more conventional way.
 * Eldritch Abomination
 * The End of the World as We Know It:
 * Evil Counterpart: According to Fina, Zelos was based on the same nanotech as Cupil. Yep, its Cupil's big cousin.
 * Fantastic Nuke
 * Fixed Forward-Facing Weapon: Its 'eye', which is a facsimile of Soltis' cannon room.
 * Kill Sat:
 * Punny Name
 * Slasher Smile: Once gives it a face, it does this during their joint super move.

Black Pirates
The Black Pirates are the opposite of the Blue Rogues. Where Blue Rogues are Just Like Robin Hood, Black Pirates are... well... Pirates. They attack merchant vessels for their goods and it's implied that many rape women. In Legends, you can take on some of these pirates in optional Bounty Missions.


 * Baltor

A Black Pirate feared around Mid Ocean. He attacks ships for their cargo in his ship, The Blackbeard. Vyse encounters him while escorting a Nasrian merchant home and is the game's first ship battle.

The actual Rupee is a small boy. He doesn't want to be a pirate, preferring to make carpets like his mother. After he and Barta are defeated, Vyse encourages him to do what makes him happy.

 * Billy Elliot Plot
 * Dual Boss
 * Barta I Don't Want To Fight

 * Moral Dissonance: Did Vyse just beat up a child?
 * Shoot the Medic First: Uh, no. You really shouldn't. It's not a good idea.
 * Squishy Wizard: Rupee, made useless by Delta Shield.
 * Wake Up Call Boss: Players lulled into a false sense of security by Baltor are in for a rude awakening. Rupee and Barta are far from the hardest bounty fight, especially once one figures out the gimmicks for Legendary Punch and Berserk Rupee, but they can be quite difficult.


 * Gordo

Gordo the Round is a fat, gluttonous pirate who attacks ships for their food. After his defeat, he recognizes Drachma as the sailor hunting Rhaknam to avenge his son, this revelation of his motives enrages Drachma. Gordo later opens a restaurant in North Ocean.

After his defeat, he learns that fame and infamy are not the same. He decides to become an engineer and hopes to surpass his father.


 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Calling the Old Man Out
 * Flunky Boss
 * Freudian Excuse: Centime let his life pass him by without showing off his brilliant mind. Lapen doesn't want the same to happen to him.
 * Gadgeteer Genius: Like father like adopted son.

 * Annoying Laugh: Vize.
 * Criminal Doppelganger
 * Flunky Boss
 * Identical Stranger: The resemblance is uncanny...
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: ...but their features are totally different. Vize has blue eyes and freckles. Faina is an Evil Albino with red eyes. Anita has purple hair.

 * Mirror Boss: Cutlass Wrath! Anita Burst!
 * Scare'Em Straight


 * Daikokuya

An elderly Yafutoman Black Pirate who sails in a needlessly extravagent ship over Glacia. He challenges Vyse to battle hoping to show him that money can buy power After his defeat he decides to continue traveling the world. He asks Vyse if they can "warm each other up." Vyse takes evasive action.


 * Abhorrent Admirer: Towards Vyse.

 * Chest Monster: All of the lesser Zivilyn Banes pop out of chests in the other dungeons, and he comes from a chest in the Very Definitely Final Dungeon.

 * The Faceless
 * Flunky Boss: Comes with two Zivilyn Bane in tow, and can summon more.
 * Shoot the Medic First: He and his clan tend to target Fina frequently. Perhaps they hate Silvites?
 * Alternatively, they're Dangerously Genre Savvy.

 * Wolverine Claws: Supersized.
