The main girl. Sophia has a stereotypical life as any other girl who likes to cook and have fun with his friend Fayt. All changes once she is forced to escape from an alien invasion to a colony in the space. Although she's a bit naive to the events around her, Sophia gives her all to help. .


 * Black Magician Girl

 * Moe
 * Naive Everygirl: It is a bit difficult for her to understand what is going on.

The circus girl. Peppita travels around the universe with her circus family to entertain people to become a star dancer just like her deceased mother. When Fayt and Sophia meet her, she was about to put up her debut on the stage until the resort planet was invaded by aliens.

Otherwise, she will remain behind.

The former leader of Quark until lending his place to Maria thinking that she is more fitting for the role. Cliff is the one who abducts Fayt in order to protect him and make sure he doesn't get killed or captured alive. Being a Klausian, Cliff has a big amount of stamina and strength, being able to achieve harder feats than Earthlings can. His partner in crime is Mirage whom Cliff has commented to be as strong as him, possibly because they grew up attending their homeworld's dojo. He acts like an advisor for both Fayt and Maria whenever they are facing trouble, eventually taking a supporting role.


 * The Big Guy
 * Dave Wittenberg
 * The Engineer: One of his Item Creation's highest levels and the job he claims during most of disc one.
 * Heavyworlder
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: Cliff boasts that even a gun like Norton's won't do much damage in a Klausian. Now when the battle starts, and in higher difficulties, Cliff can get mauled alive. Giving he dodges the weapon that won't affect him, there is always the option he is bluffing or referring to his ability to dodge it.
 * ...Or he was actually stating a fact outside of battle.
 * Genius Bruiser
 * Power Fist
 * Rapid Fire Fisticuffs: His Fists of Fury special attack.
 * Shout Out: His fourth costume makes him look like Squall Leonhart.
 * It adds to the little Shout Out in the dictionary speaking about Squalls... Oh, never mind.

Nel is one of the residents of the Kingdom of Aquaria of Elicoor II and leader of the Secret Legion, which is charged to gather intelligence to report to the queen. Even though she shows a serious side, her kind heart gets in the way to change the way she performs in her missions no matter how dangerous it is for her even at the cost of her life. She is one of the three residents of Elicoor II that can go with Fayt for the rest of his journey.


 * Action Girl
 * Lady of War
 * Ninja Maid: One of her bonus costumes.
 * Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Specifically, ninja wizard special forces agent.
 * Optional Party Member: A rather jarring example, given that she's an important character for the majority of the first disc.
 * Demoted to Extra
 * Panty Shot: Magic Skirt is very much averted in this game; Nel is only the most frequent example.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Scarf of Asskicking
 * Supreme Chef: While cooking stuff in Item Creation, she cuts lettuce nimbly. Then again, her main weapons are dual blades.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

A bratty kid Menodix who lives in the Sanmite Republic of Elicoor II. Roger is part of a small band of children band who cheers him on in "Real Men Contests" against the rival group of his hometown, said contests being very ridiculous like stealing a trophy from a dangerous bandit. Albeit really small, Roger doesn't let his size be a problem when facing enemies bigger than him. His biggest dream is to become a real man one day through the tests he is given by his peers. He is one of the three residents of Elicoor II that can join Fayt's journey.

"Cliff: What the- He's got a tail!"
 * An Axe to Grind: The helmets are actually his main weapon of choice, though.
 * Bratty Half Pint
 * Cool Helmet: Also includes a shark helmet!
 * Optional Party Member
 * Petting Zoo People


 * Puppy Dog Eyes: His method to convince the party to save him from the thief that put him in the cage. Naturally, he gets annoyed too early and drops off his sweet side for his true behavior. (I mean, look at his picture in the page! Don't be fooled by his cutesy look).
 * What Happened To Roger?:
 * Wild Child: One of his costumes.

The young enigmatic and beautiful leader of Quark as told by some. Maria Traydor is the one who commands the entire anti-Federation group. Orphaned at a young age, Maria grew up thanks to Cliff and Mirage acting as her guardians. . From that point onward, she developed an intelligent mind but a rather strong blunt personality while seeking out her origins.


 * Action Girl
 * Frickin Laser Beams: Most of her attacks involve lasers. The one that takes the cake is Energy Burst.
 * Kick Chick: Averted. Not her main method of fighting but her second one taught to her by Mirage. It's more obvious since they share some of the attacks together.
 * Lady of War
 * Ray Gun: Her main weapon choice.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * Ray Gun: Her main weapon choice.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

An extra character added to the final version of the game. Adray is Clair's father, a hot blooded Aquarian whom along with Nel's father helped in the growth and foundation of the kingdom. Other than that, he is an adept in Runology and an average fighter. Whenever he gets the chance, he asks any young man he finds to marry his daughter, much for her dismay. He is always sent away to dangerous missions from the kingdom to avoid having him around during diplomatic matters.


 * Badass Grandpa (in appearance if not reality, so far)
 * Embarrassing Tattoo: Subverted. Sure, Adray is proud and loves Clair so much, but we know for sure how she would react if she saw herself as a chibi version surrounded by roses...on her father's back, no less.
 * Hot Blooded
 * Katanas Are Just Better
 * Magic Knight: He is basically this since he can make symbology in to battle skills yet he also learns physical battle skills. Too bad he doesn't excel in either.
 * Shout Out: His samurai outfit vaguely resembles the White Mage class.
 * Talking Is a Free Action: Compared to all the playable characters in general, Adray likes to talk a lot whenever he levels up. Thankfully, you can skip his long speeches.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: Looking pretty good for almost sixty, too.

Leader of the Black Brigade, one of the three brigades of the Kingdom of Airyglyph. Albel is known as "Albel the Wicked", deciding to take no prisoners or survivors from the battles he fights. He acts as an antagonist for the first part of the game until he is forced to join the group in exchange for his deeds. He heavily dislikes working alongside Nel for being an Aquarian. He is one of the three members of Elicoor II that can join Fayt's journey permanently.

A decent amount of Ho Yay with the main character. He's chained to the wall in a dungeon when he first joins the party. Yeaaah, it's easy to see how he got to be the Ensemble Darkhorse. Plus you know, his voice is none other than Crispin Freeman.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry

An extra character for the final version of the game although she was already there. Mirage is the calm and collected partner of Cliff. It is said by Cliff that she is strong enough to hold her own since she is also a Klausian, wishing luck to any unlucky enemy who tries to do harm on her. She happens to be the daughter of a dojo-owner, the same dojo where she and Cliff trained their skills. She also taught Maria how to fight.

"Luther Lansfeld:I-I don’t believe it! Data! They’re nothing but data! Why am I-I being
 * Alliterative Name
 * Dub Name Change: He was Lucifer in the Japanese version.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: To be fair, at first he thinks So he honestly thinks their grievances with him are justifiably nothing. But when he loses his first battle? He definitely goes a little crazy, if not batshit insane.

 * What Measure Is a Non Human: Again, he thinks the only reason . But then he goes on to say that  . In case the terminology is distracting you,.
 * Villainous Breakdown: Before the first fight, Luther acts like a typical company president considering Fayt and co. like something similar to an insubordinate worker. Yet before the second fight, he degrades into maniacal laughter and comes off how "Righteousness Shall Prevail!!"
