Infinite Undiscovery/Characters

Capell


The main character of Infinite Undiscovery. Capell was raised in a troupe of bards and as such is very skilled at playing the flute. At the beginning of the game he has been captured and thrown in prison, though he has no idea why. Shortly after, he gets saved by Aya. It's soon revealed that he looks exactly like the leader of the Liberation Force.


 * Accidental Pervert: Kind of. He accidentally cops a feel on  at one point.
 * Action Survivor: At the very beginning of the game; he gets plunged into a sweeping conflict that he really wants nothing to do with, but manages to hold his own anyway.
 * Badass Normal
 * Though given how Unblessed people are not viewed as 'normal' in this world, he's more like a Badass Abnormal, in a weird way.
 * Berserk Button: Insulting or mocking Unblessed is enough to get him angry.
 * Character Development: While not as obvious as Edward's, Capell stops thinking in terms of survival as the story progresses. At one point at the beginning of the game he says that the Liberation Force is foolish for running into fights, even if it's because they want to do the right thing; when they reach Port Zala, he runs off to break the chain with the same kind of reckless attitude that he had berated earlier.
 * Chick Magnet: By the end of the game, Aya and Faina are in love with him, and Michelle,  and Komachi seem to have a thing for him. Though, at least in Michelle and Komachi's cases, this is because he looks like Sigmund.
 * And one of his traits is 'Lady's Man.'
 * Cursed with Awesome: Being an Unblessed allows him to be the only one in the party to see Vermiforms.
 * Despair Event Horizon: After  get killed by vermiforms, Capell hits rock bottom. This is even reflected in the other party members' descriptions, which are all from his point of view.
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: He says he's not any good at fighting... but that doesn't stop him from holding his own and having a few special attacks at the very beginning of the game.
 * Giver of Lame Names: Capell keeps giving his very pretty songs terrible names, like "The Slovenly Serenade" or "Fleeing Dog Rhapsody". Eventually, Aya just decides she doesn't want to know.
 * The Hero: After.
 * Heroic BSOD: After, he begins to
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Kind of a retrospective example; his voice actor also played Faize from Star Ocean the Last Hope, but it came out later.
 * Idiot Hero: Not an idiot so much as clueless and uninformed, though one could argue that the latter is due to reasons entirely out of his control. He also gets noticeably more world-weary during his travels and makes less ignorant comments toward the end of the game.
 * Magic Music: The melodies he plays can do things from just sounding nice to
 * The Masquerade: Poses as Sigmund.
 * Mistaken Identity: Everyone thinks he's Sigmund. It's why he's captured in the first place.
 * Nice Guy
 * Non-Action Guy: At first. He's better with a flute than a sword, anyway.
 * Only Sane Man
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: They look kind of orange/brown in the concept art, but in the actual game... Averted, because he's a good guy.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Despite his red clothes, he's the blue to Edward's red.
 * The Scrappy: In-universe example, mainly due to being a Non-Action Guy surrounded by badasses.
 * Tagalong Kid: At first.

 * Tagalong Kid: At first.

Aya


Capell's Love Interest, Aya is a fiery and spirited girl who happens to be a princess. She first appears when she comes to save Capell from prison. However, she believed she was saving Lord Sigmund.

Edward


A member of the Liberation Force, Edward uses a gigantic sword in battle. While Aya is merely a Tsundere towards Capell, Edward is an outright Jerkass, verbally berating him at every turn. Eventually,  Afterwards, he realizes how ridiculous he was behaving and decides to mellow out.

 * Specifically, during one connected conversation between Savio and Eugene, Savio goes on a long spiel about how to temper one's inner power and how not to let yourself overuse your lunaglyph... and then advertises his book. And then Capell and Eugene both respond with Visible Silence.

 * Femme Fatalons: A rare male example.
 * Large Ham: For some bizarre reason, his voice actor seems to be channeling a very self-aware, parodic William Shatner.
