Baten Kaitos/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

=== The Guardian Spirit ===

The unseen avatar of the player, ostensibly ''the player him/herself'' watching and being spoken to from another dimension. Guardian Spirits are beings from another world that occasionally drift to the world of Baten Kaitos through Nekton, the Shrine of Spirits in Mira. Anyone who is able to make contact with one and allow it into their heart becomes bonded to it, and from then on is now a Spiriter. As revealed in ''Origins'', Spiriters are said to be [[The Chosen One~~|The Chosen Ones~~]], said to wield great power and knowledge, destined to sway the fate of the world. Though we're not too sure on the knowledge part (as the Guardian Spirit is also like a second, sentient conscience), they definitely endow their Spiriter with powerful magic spells when called upon, and all Spiriters seen so far have indeed had a role in the world's future.

Line 62:

* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Grandfather And Little Brother]]

=== ~~'''~~Xelha~~'''~~ ===

=== Xelha ===

{{quote|''"Cast light upon the darkened earth... Save those lost in despair. O Mighty Ocean, guide us, as we journey through... The darkest pit of night."''}}

Line 101:

* [[White Magician Girl]]: Fits the personality perfectly, but her magic is offensive.

=== ~~'''~~Gibari~~'''~~ ===

=== Gibari ===

{{quote|''[[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|"I'll show you what a man of the Sky can do!"]]'' - ''EWLO''}}

Line 132:

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: He and Reblys have a fishing competition...''using enormous logs as fishing rods.''

=== ~~'''~~Lyude~~'''~~ ===

=== Lyude ===

{{quote|*Points his gun* '' {{spoiler|Savyna}}, I have reason to believe that you [[The Mole|are an Imperial Soldier.]]''}}

Line 169:

* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]] - His finishers and elemental weapons are all either light or dark. This a bad thing (Light and Dark damage cancel each other out, 20 dark damage and 10 light damage results in 10 dark damage).

=== ~~'''~~Savyna~~'''~~ ===

=== Savyna ===

{{quote|''"Hmm... Could be worse, I guess. Let's go."'' - ''EWLO''}}

Line 222:

* [[You Didn't Ask]]: The reason for the misunderstanding where {{spoiler|Lyude accuses Savyna of being [[The Mole]].}}

=== ~~'''~~Mizuti~~'''~~ ===

=== Mizuti ===

Line 252:

=== Meemai ===

Line 265:

== Other characters ==

=== ~~'''~~Giacomo~~'''~~ ===

=== Giacomo ===

{{quote|''"I won't kill you... But believe me, this is going to hurt. Prepare yourself, boy!"'' - ''EWLO''}}

Line 295:

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. It ''looks'' like he has blue hair, but that's actually part of his helmet's ornamentation. [[Blond Guys Are Evil|He's actually blonde.]] In between learning that Giacomo is Georg's son and Kalas is an [[Artificial Human]], we're lead to believe the then-strong implications that Kalas could be Giacomo's kid, and the apparent sharing of blue hair helped.}}

=== ~~'''~~Ayme~~'''~~ ===

=== Ayme ===

Line 315:

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The only girl of the three.

=== ~~'''~~Folon~~'''~~ ===

=== Folon ===

{{quote|''"Stupidity is more like it... Stupidity must be one of your stronger points!"''}}

Line 364:

* [[Yes-Man]]: In ''Orginis''.

=== ~~'''~~Melodia~~'''~~ ===

=== Melodia ===

Line 403:

== The Rulers of the Sky ==

=== ~~'''~~Lord Rodolfo~~'''~~ ===

=== Lord Rodolfo ===

Ruler of Sadal Suud, the Ancient Frontier. He is a man of pourtly build, often acting in a rather selfish way, and is also criticized to be a coward who kisses up to the Empire. Rodolfo is first seen complying with the Empire's intentions in Sadal Suud in hopes that they will go away quicker. After that, he is said to have confined himself in his mansion after {{spoiler|Malpercio revives.}} Some time later, before the end of the game, he returns to help the other Rulers {{spoiler|destroy Cor Hydrae's shield.}}

Line 415:

* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] - He ''truly'' wants the best for his nation, but he keeps allying with [[The Empire]] and doing their bidding.}}

=== ~~'''~~King Ladekahn~~'''~~ ===

=== King Ladekahn ===

The reigning King of Diadem, Land of the Clouds. Ladekahn is touted as a brave and strong leader under whose leadership the will of Diadem's people is said to be unshakable. Ladekahn believes in the code of honor of a knight, and thus falls to Ayme's trap, saved only by your [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment. Afterwards, he reveals the location of Diadem's End Magnus, and later sends the group with a letter in his name to Queen Corellia, proposing an alliance against the Empire. After {{spoiler|Malpercio revives}}, he forms a coalition of nations with Anuenue and Mira in order to combat their enemy.

Line 430:

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Though he was [[Hair of Gold|blondish]] in ''Origins''...

=== ~~'''~~Queen Corellia~~'''~~ ===

=== Queen Corellia ===

Queen Corellia, the Fairy Guide as she is called, is the queen of Anuenue, the Rainbow Nation. Queen Corellia has maintained a policy of staying [[True Neutral]] in all conflicts between nations, which means she is to show as much hospitality to our heroes as she would their enemies. In both games this presents a conflict with both of the heroes' teams due to the fact that her neutrality gets in the way. However, she acknowledges that neutrality is impossible in ''Eternal Wings'' once Geldoblame is proven to be guilty of his accusations, and looks the other way when Sagi needs to retrieve Celestial Tree Fell Branches in ''Origins''.

Line 442:

* [[Older Than They Look]]

=== ~~'''~~Duke Calbren~~'''~~ ===

=== Duke Calbren ===

Regent of the Duchy of Mira, the City of Illusion. Duke Calbren first appears in ''Eternal Wings'' when the group is invited to his manor as thanks for saving Melodia from the [[Terrible Trio]]. Not too long after, he reveals the location of the Bo End Magnus. After {{spoiler|Malpercio is revived}}, he forms a coalition of nations alongside King Ladekahn and Queen Corellia in order to combat the enemy.

Line 454:

* [[Nice Hat]]

=== ~~'''~~The Great Kamroh~~'''~~ ===

=== The Great Kamroh ===

Elder of Genma Village and leader of the Children of the Earth. There are actually ''two'' different Kamrohs in ''Baten Kaitos''. The Great Kamroh in ''Eternal Wings'' who wears a red mask is the one who tells our heroes to look for the Sword of the Heavens, and later leads the effort to retrieve the Ring of Stars for Mizuti. In ''Origins,'' we see the two Kamrohs together: the previous Great Kamroh (a very old and thin man who wears a blue mask), and the Kamroh from ''Eternal Wings'' (younger and more strict), who later inherits the position once Guillo's sidequest is finished.

Line 464:

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} - The Kamroh of ''Origins''.

=== ~~'''~~Krumly~~'''~~ ===

=== Krumly ===

The leader of Algorab Village. Krumly's character undergoes a serious transformation from his incarnation in ''Origins'' to twenty years later in ''Eternal Wings.'' In ''Origins,'' Krumly is polite yet companionable, obeying the ''Origins'' Great Kamroh even if at odds with Kamroh (who would become the Elder at the end of the sidequest). However, after the first Kamroh names the ''Eternal Wings'' Kamroh as his successor, Krumly leaves in outrage. In ''Eternal Wings'', Krumly is clearly still embittered by this fact, as an NPC mentions that he and The Great Kamroh have arguements all the time he goes to Genma Village.

Line 481:

== The [[Power Trio]] ==

=== ~~'''~~Sagi~~'''~~ ===

=== Sagi ===

=== ~~'''~~Guillo~~'''~~ ===

=== Guillo ===

{{quote|''"Hmm, this fight might be too much for you alone - [[Deadpan Snarker|provided their guns sting more than their wit]]."''}}

Line 554:

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Calls Sagi out on snapping at his guardian spirit.

=== ~~'''~~Milly (Milliarde)~~'''~~ ===

{{quote|''"Talk about unfair odds! I don't know how I do it."''}}

=== ~~'''~~Verus~~'''~~ ===

=== Verus ===

{{quote|''"Welcome, lad. I am Verus, head of the Empire's military affairs."''}}

Line 665:

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: To Geldoblame after [[The Reveal]], triggering Geldoblame's breakdown.}}

=== ~~'''~~Shanath~~'''~~ ===

=== Heughes ===

{{quote|''"Let's just see how many punches I've got left in me!"''}}

=== ~~'''~~Nasca~~'''~~ ===

=== Nasca ===

Line 737:

== Assorted Allies ==

=== ~~'''~~Gena~~'''~~ ===

=== Gena ===

* {{spoiler|[[Convenient Coma]]: See [[Ill Girl]].}}

Line 744:

=== ~~'''~~Wacho and Tik~~'''~~ ===

=== Wacho and Tik ===

* [[Cheerful Child]]

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]

=== ~~'''~~Palolo II~~'''~~ ===

=== Palolo II ===

* [[Badass]]: He stops Heughes' Burning Harken ''with one hand''.

Line 755:

* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: Some kind of purple makes up his clothes, and even if stealthy he's ''flashy''.

=== ~~'''~~Lolo~~'''~~ ===

=== Lolo ===

* [[Anime Hair]]

Line 767:

== Those from elsewhere ==

=== ~~'''~~Seph~~'''~~ ===

=== Seph ===

* {{spoiler|[[Deal with the Devil]]}}

Line 775:

* [[The Stoic]]

=== ~~'''~~Thoran~~'''~~ ===

=== Thoran ===

=== ~~'''~~Pieda~~'''~~ ===

=== Pieda ===

* {{spoiler|[[Meaningful Name]]: She's Malpercio's legs and feet.}}

Line 787:

* [[Team Mom]]

=== ~~'''~~Ven~~'''~~ ===

=== Ven ===

* [[The Big Guy]]

Line 793:

* [[The Load]]: In Zaurak's Keep, Ven is the only one who can break the large boulders occasionally obstructing your path...But he can't fly up the taller ladders, so you have to find alternate routes.

=== ~~'''~~Wiseman~~'''~~ ===

=== Wiseman ===

Line 824:

* {{spoiler|[[Load-Bearing Boss]]: After taking over Verus, he sucks the afterlings out of Tarazed's core and uses them to give himself more power. Defeating him causes Tarazed to self-destruct.}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]] Behind The Man}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Subverted. Seph's group seems to be under the impression that his reasons for {{spoiler|eating Magnus}} are going to be a convoluted mess of [[Xanatos Gambit~~|Xanatos Gambits~~]] and emotional manipulation. Instead, he just states his beliefs and tells them to take it or leave it.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Subverted. Seph's group seems to be under the impression that his reasons for {{spoiler|eating Magnus}} are going to be a convoluted mess of [[Xanatos Gambit]]s and emotional manipulation. Instead, he just states his beliefs and tells them to take it or leave it.

* [[Marty Stu]]: A very strange, not to mention ''creepy'', in-universe subversion. When we're first introduced to Wiseman, it's [[Obviously Evil|painfully obvious]] to the protagonists that he's a [[Humanoid Abomination]] but the [[Genre Blind]] villagers ''think'' he's one of these. They proclaim him the best thing to happen to them, spread word of the wings he's given them through teaching them how to embrace their Hearts to encourage everybody else to do everything he says. Not to mention the fact that they revere him like a god and are either totally unaware of or don't care about the fact that this thing {{spoiler|eats souls for breakfast}}. Needless to say, Seph and Sagi's respective parties are ''not'' fooled.
