Character Name
A description of the character goes here.


 * Trope

Luka
The hero of the story. While his general background is the same as the original game, the events of the Paradox setting have completely changed his goals. Rather than striving for coexistence, he sets out in search of his missing father.

Ilias attributes this to his lineage.
 * Badass Family
 * Blow You Away: When using Sylph's power.
 * Celibate Hero: Can be played as such, if the player never has him make requests of any party member.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: Can't resist helping people in need.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: When using Gnome's power.
 * Healing Factor: His Mediation power, though unlike the original game, there's many other sources of healing.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: Though unlike the original game, he can use other weapons.
 * Heroic Lineage
 * The Leader
 * Nephilim: Thanks to his mother. In gameplay terms, he can switch between the human and angel races.
 * Playing With Fire: Many of his later Heroism skills use the fire element.
 * Really Gets Around: Can potentially engage in some manner of sex with almost every single female party member, barring (currently) the Medal Queen and the battle-fuckers. Though some of the monsters are guaranteed to kill him.
 * Semi-Divine: On his mother's side, he's just two steps removed from the Goddess Ilias herself.
 * Space Master: For some reason, he can use the doors in the Tartarus that lead between universes.
 * Super Intelligence: Downplayed, but in the Ancient Temple Ruins it's revealed that he is exceptionally good at math.
 * The Face: He's generally the one who talks to enemy monsters the most.

Alice
The current Monster Lord, inexplicably changed into a younger, weaker form. She has lost contact with her former servants, and is now looking for answers. Her unique trait, "Petite Monster Lord", allows her to always use Black Magic, Dark and Demon Arts skills, and halves the HP cost of all skills.


 * Big Eater: As per the original.
 * Black Magician Girl: She can always use Black Magic.
 * Casting a Shadow: She can always use Dark skills.
 * Cute Monster Girl
 * Eye Beams: Her Demon Eye skills can inflict various status effects.
 * Extreme Omnivore: She eats anything that Luka gives her, even literal rocks.
 * Magic Knight: She starts off able to both use a rapier and black magic.
 * Monster Lord
 * Riches to Rags: From the ruler of all monsters to having to ally with a novice hero. She's not even considered in the running for the Monster Lord's position.
 * Royal Rapier: Starts off wielding one, and is certainly royalty.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something
 * Snake Person: She looks like a lamia, but it's only one of her many races.

Ilias
The Goddess who ostensibly created the entire world, also inexplicably changed into a younger, weaker form. Interestingly, she seems unfamiliar with the world, and is confused by half the news she hears. She has lost contact with her angels, and is now looking for answers. Her unique trait, "Goddess of Creation", allows her to always use White Magic and Holy skills, and the MP cost of the latter is halved.


 * Fantastic Racism: Still hates all monsters, and if she's in the party, will regularly advise Luka to choose the option that is least beneficial/most harmful to monsters. Amusingly enough, if she isn't recruited, then she has no choice but to swallow her pride and recruit monsters to form her own party.
 * Holy Hand Grenade: Has access to skills that do holy damage, which is effective against most monsters.
 * Kleptomaniac Hero: Should you recruit her, she steals the Pocket Monster Lord Castle from Alice for the party to use.
 * The Hunter: Starts off in the Hunter job.
 * Omniscient Morality Licence: Sometimes acts as if she has this, despite no longer having the power to back it up.
 * Physical God: Was one, rather. Immediately after being sealed, she's so weak that her Thunder of Judgement is compared to static electricity by Luka.
 * Shock and Awe: Some of her Holy skills use the lightning element.
 * White Magician Girl: She can always use White Magic.

Sonya
Luka's childhood friend, a priestess at Ilias Temple with a fondness for clubs. She is unique to Paradox, as in the original game her mother Karen died before she could have any children. Sonya was raised by Lazarus after her parents died, although later on she would be the one taking care of him. Her unique trait, "Club Girl", allows her to always equip Clubs and use Club skills and White Magic, increases her damage with a club and the effectiveness of her White Magic.


 * Childhood Friend
 * Femme Fatale: In the quest in the Nameless Slums, she mentions employing this trope in order to obtain information. That said, she never actually does so over the course of the game.
 * Optional Party Member: Technically, Sonya can be missed if the player doesn't visit the Chief's House. This has a number of inexplicable effects, most notably that Alice/Ilias will not reveal the Pocket Monster Lord Castle and so party members cannot be recruited. Even more strangely, the game was written with this in mind, as many of her lines will be said by Luka instead.
 * The Paladin: Albeit one that uses a club.
 * Sir Swears A Lot: She tends to swear more often than other characters.
 * Temporal Paradox: Possibly, though it's still unclear.
 * White Magician Girl: She can always use white magic, but she certainly doesn't fit the other requirements of the trope.

Nuruko
A strange monster found in the first Tartarus. She looks somewhat like a scylla, with even her hair being tentacles. She doesn't speak any words, just the sound effect 'kyu'.


 * Combat Tentacles: Used for most of her attacks, and they're highlighted in her attack cut-in.
 * Eldrich Abomination: Possibly, given her nature as an Apoptosis.
 * Gag Boobs: A hallmark of her artist, they take up most of her torso.
 * Scylla and Charybdis: She looks like a scylla, and has it as a race, but it's still unclear exactly what she is. She has the Apoptosis race as well.
 * The Unintelligible: She only says 'kyu'. The only person who can understand her, interestingly, is Sonya. This leads to an amusing scene when she makes friends with Gnome, another example of this trope, as they need interpreters to converse with each other.

Promestein
An angel scientist, encountered in the second Tartarus. She isn't the same Promestein from the original game, but neither is she native to the Paradox universe, having apparently come from a universe where the angels won the Great Monster Wars. Her unique trait, "Mad Scientist Angel", allows her to always use Medicine and Magic Science skills and increases the damage of the latter.


 * Immortality: Like all angels. She mentions having studied the Remina in Tartarus for 200 years.
 * Mad Scientist: She is a Promestein, after all. In her first appearance, she asks Luka if she can dissect his brain to learn the secrets of his ability to cross dimensions.
 * Magitek: Her Magic Science skills.
 * The Medic

Brynhildr
A gynoid encountered in the Ancient Temple Ruins, the remains of a laboratory. Initially known as the Sleeping Beauty for her dormancy, she suddenly woke up when Luka touched her capsule. After fighting the party in a misunderstanding, she joins them in order to fulfil her mission of saving the world.


 * Dual Wielding: She has two curved blades attached to her arms.
 * Gatling Good: One of her weapons.
 * Ridiculously Human Robot: She has, according to Promestein, advanced emotions and a functional reproductive system, neither of which would be desirable in a combat machine.
 * Robot Girl
 * Schizo-Tech: She seems to have come from 88 years in the future.
 * Sex Bot: She has the relevant hardware and can take requests.
 * Unusual Ears: She has what appear to be rabbit ears.
 * Yin-Yang Bomb

Nero
A bizarrely-dressed stranger who the party encounters several times. It's strongly implied that he is the son of Luka and Alice from another universe, though which one isn't clear. His current purpose is unknown, but he and his sister seem to be helping out Luka's party.


 * Casting a Shadow
 * Cool Shades: It's questionable whether they're even needed, or if he just wears them for the appearance.
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Supposedly manages to decapitate the White Rabbit, though it doesn't leave any lasting damage.
 * Heinz Hybrid: Apparently, he's half-monster, a quarter-human, and a quarter-angel.
 * Large Ham: In battle, he tends to make rather grandiose declarations.
 * Impossibly Cool Clothes: The only way to describe his outfit. Apparently, he made them himself.
 * Nephilim: A quarter-angel. It allows him to use holy power and causes wings of rainbow light to appear when he fights.
 * Nice Guy: Apparently in the blood.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something
 * Sinister Scythe: An enormous one.
 * Superpower Lottery: A definite winner. As demonstrated when the player briefly controls him, he has access to high-level holy and dark magic, as well as space and time magic, and is a Master Swordsman on top of that.
 * Time Master: Can both stop time, and move when someone else has stopped time.
 * Yin-Yang Bomb

Neris
A strange monster who first appears to defeat Nanabi for the party. It's strongly implied that she is the daughter of Luka and Alice from another universe, though which one isn't clear. Her current purpose is unknown, but she and her brother seem to be helping out Luka's party.


 * BFS: Wields one, as shown in promotional images.
 * Horny Devils: She normally looks like a succubus without the horns or tail, but her true form is actually lamia-shaped like her mother.
 * Nephilim: If her proposed lineage is true, she'd be a quarter-angel, three-quarters monster.
 * One Man Army: A definite example. In one day, she conquers Plansect Village, defeats Cassandra, defeats and exiles the Arachne faction, and fights Granberia to a draw. She's seen as this in-universe too, being considered one of the three contenders for the title of Monster Lord despite being (seen as) on her own.
 * Parental Incest: For some reason, after defeating Nanabi, she hits on Luka. Granted, it's not the same Luka as her father, but it's still odd.
 * Playing With Fire: The only attack she used onscreen is Vaporising Rebellion Sword.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something
 * Stripperiffic: To say the least.
 * Yin-Yang Bomb
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * Younger Than She Looks: If she is in fact the daughter who was conceived at the end of the original game, then she should be the same age as Nero, but she doesn't look it. Some fans have joked that she inherited Luka's small stature.

Lilith Sisters
A trio of succubi of immense power, dating to the Great Monster Wars. Created by the ancestor of all succubi, Minagi, they have strength that surpasses almost all monsters in the present day. Despite being thought long-dead, they appear in the Paradox universe.


 * Blow You Away: They are all masters of wind magic.
 * Brainwashing: They've used this to manipulate at least one major figure (Meia) and possibly others.
 * Horny Devils
 * The Man Behind the Man: They're behind many of the problems faced by the party.
 * Named After Somebody Famous: Many succubi have been named after them.
 * Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Sonya hypothesizes that they didn't intend to spread a lust-causing virus to the harpies, but were unknowingly carriers of the disease. The truth has yet to be confirmed.

Lilith
The eldest of the Lilith sisters.


 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Presumably the most powerful of the sisters, and their leader.
 * Dissonant Serenity: She's unfailingly kind and polite, even as she's slowly killing people.
 * Sweater Girl: Amusingly, it covers more of her body than everything her younger sisters wear, combined.

Astaroth
The middle sister of the trio.


 * Bare Fisted Monk: Uses some martial arts moves.
 * Eye Beams: Demon Eyes of Seduction.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Inverted. She's the calm one compared to her younger sister Morrigan.

Morrigan
The youngest of the Lilith Sisters.


 * Bait and Switch: She appears in the same place that Alma Elma did in the original game, and also offers to duel them while holding back. When the party is starting to win thanks to her handicap, she's annoyed that they haven't given up and prepares to kill them.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: The only reason the party stands a chance in the battle against her is her deliberately holding back. Once she decides to kill them anyway, the only reason they survive is Zion's intervention.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: When fighting with Zion, they sink an entire ship as collateral damage.
 * Power Glows
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Inverted. She's the reckless one compared to her older sister Astaroth.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
