=== Capell ===
[[File:iu-capellcropped 2095.jpg|frame]]

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 [[La Résistance|Liberation Force.]]
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Kind of. He accidentally cops a feel on  {{spoiler|Vic}} 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,  {{spoiler|Vic}} 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.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|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  {{spoiler|Faina and Leif}} get killed by vermiforms, Capell [[Heroic BSOD|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.
*  {{spoiler|[[Generation Xerox]]: He looks remarkably like his father, Sigmund, who is, by magical quirk, the same age as him.}}
* [[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 {{spoiler|Sigmund dies}}.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: After  {{spoiler|Faina and Leif's deaths}}, he begins to  {{spoiler|resent lunaglyphs and their users.}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He returns later, however.}}
* [[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  {{spoiler|curing vermification.}}
* [[The Masquerade]]: Poses as Sigmund {{spoiler|after he dies to keep peoples' hope alive}}.
* [[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 Trope|Averted,]] because he's a [[Nice Guy|good]] [[The Hero|guy.]]
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Despite his red clothes, [[Subverted Trope|he's the blue to Edward's red.]]
* [[The Scrappy]]: In-universe example, mainly due to being a [[Non-Action Guy]] surrounded by [[Badass|badasses.]]
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: At first.

=== Aya ===
[[File:iu-aya1cropped 4386.jpg|frame]]

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 [[Identical Stranger|Lord]] [[Rebel Leader|Sigmund]]. Needless to say, she is very displeased when she finds out Capell is not who she thought he was. But she helps him out anyway.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: The first thing she does is slit a guard's throat... while doing a back-flip off of him.
* [[The Archer]]
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]:  {{spoiler|Especially at the end of the game.}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Capell for most of the game. It's mostly one-sided, though.
* [[Bridal Carry]]: Near the beginning of the game, she is injured and must be carried to safety in this manner.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Well, blue-green eyes, anyway.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: She can never flip around on enemies the way she can in the opening cutscene. But she's still pretty [[Badass]].
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Usually when Faina's around Capell.
* [[Playing with Fire]]
* [[Rebellious Princess]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Waif Fu]]: In the opening cutscene.
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: She hates bugs/reptiles.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

=== Sigmund  {{spoiler|aka Volsung, King of Casandra}}  ===
[[File:iu-sigmund1cropped 7307.jpg|frame]]

A [[Rebel Leader]] called 'The Liberator,' Sigmund is the leader of [[La Résistance|the Liberation Force]]. He has taken it upon himself to cut the chains binding the moon to the land, and has inspired others to join him.  {{spoiler|After he gets his Lunaglyph removed, he can no longer break the chains. It also ultimately leads to his death, as he dies protecting Capell. He was once named Volsung, and was the King of Casandra. He's also actually Capell's father, which explains the whole [[Mistaken Identity]] thing. When it was discovered that Capell was an Unblessed, Volsung willingly had his lunaglyph removed, which de-aged him.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: He shatters gigantic, moon-binding chains for a living and has earned the respect of pretty much every important person you encounter. His name is known far and wide throughout the world. Hell, one of his titles is [[Living Legend]].
*  {{spoiler|[[Brought Down to Normal]]: When he willingly had his Lunaglyph removed.}}
* [[The Hero]]
*  {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]: Capell's, to be exact.}}
* [[Identical Stranger]]: To Capell.
* [[Living Legend]]: One of his titles. And, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|well...]]
*  {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Capell, He Was Your Father]]}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Older Than They Look]]}}
**  {{spoiler|[[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: Inverted, as a result of [[Brought Down to Normal|removing his Lunaglyph]], he was aged ''down''. Played with in that the age-down was undone when he got a new one... but he'd taken [[The Slow Path]] back to his former age, so there was no visible change.}}
* [[Rebel Leader]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Though a much more serious and determined person than Capell (at first, anyway), Sigmund averts this in that he is [[The Hero]] and, while not exactly a [[Nice Guy]], he's obviously a good man.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
*  {{spoiler|[[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: He's named after a character from the ''[[The Saga of the Volsungs|Volsunga Saga]]''.  {{spoiler|Well, okay, two of them. But still.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Too Cool to Live]]}}

=== Edward ===
[[File:iu-edwardcropped 6956.jpg|frame]]

A member of the [[La Résistance|Liberation Force]], Edward uses a [[BFS|gigantic sword]] in battle. While Aya is merely a [[Tsundere]] towards Capell, Edward is an outright [[Jerkass]], verbally berating him at every turn. Eventually,  {{spoiler|he gets turned into a vermiform, goes crazy, and destroys part of a city. Capell manages to cure Edward before the latter dies of excess power.}} Afterwards, he realizes how ridiculous he was behaving and decides to mellow out.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]
* [[BFS]]: His weapon of choice.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: When his  {{spoiler|Power Increased Lunaglyph goes out of control and he is almost killed.}}
* [[Character Development]]: Goes from trying to be a perfect leader  {{spoiler|and a replacement Sigmund}} who constantly bullies and belittles Capell, to being a generally okay guy who becomes Capell's best friend.
* [[David Vincent]]: His voice actor.
** [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Edward is also [[Code Geass|Li Xingke,]] [[Bleach|Grimmjow,]] and [[BlazBlue|Jin Kisaragi.]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Ill Girl|Ill Guy]]: For a short while,  {{spoiler|right before he goes berserk and tears up a city.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Towards Capell until his [[Break the Haughty]] moment.
* [[The Lancer]]: When he eventually accepts Capell as the leader of the group.
* [[Large Ham]]: Due to either yelling all the time or saying things really, ''really'' dramatically. Notably, he stops doing this [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|(outside of battle, anyway)]] after his [[Character Development]] kicks in.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: It's mentioned that he treats Rico and Rucha nicely.
** And he gains a bonus in battle if an ally falls.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Despite his blue clothes, [[Subverted Trope|he's the red to Capell's blue.]]

=== Eugene ===

Another member of the Liberation Force, Eugene has known Sigmund since they were both kids.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Preacher]]: Would you believe that he's really a priest?
* [[Brainy Specs]]
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]
* [[Never Speak Ill of the Dead]]:  {{spoiler|Played with. It's obvious he has great respect for Sigmund, but after the latter's death, Eugene starts to say how foolish and arrogant Sigmund was in life. He's basically the only one who talks about Sigmund as though he was a human.}}
* [[Older Sidekick]]: To Sigmund. He mentions in a rather obscure conversation that he's at least nine years older than Sigmund.
* [[The Smart Guy]]
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Child Mage]]
* [[Expy]]: Let's see, he can use magic, he's a [[Half Identical Twin]], and he's small and annoying? [[Final Fantasy IV|Sounds kind of like Palom]].

* [[Cunning Linguist]]: One of his titles.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: One of his titles is 'Cunning Linguist.'
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Sure he's wise and stoic, but he also has an interesting sense of humor. Unfortunately most examples of this can only be found when you connect to either him or certain other people... [[Guide Dang It|and it's hard to know when and where these dialogues occur unless you have a guide.]]
** 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]].

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: [[Lampshaded]] by the game itself.

== Villains ==

=== Leonid ===

The villain of ''[[Infinite Undiscovery]].''  {{spoiler|He's the son of Empress Svala.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A God Am I]]
*  {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]}}
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: Though his clothes really aren't out of place in this setting, his outfit is remarkably similar to [[Valkyrie Profile|Loki's]] and is just as ridiculous.
* [[Femme Fatalons]]: A rare male example.
*  {{spoiler|[[Freudian Excuse]]: It's shown that, as a child, he was very jealous of the attention his mother heaped on the de-aged Sigmund. In the same scene, a familiar, evil-looking silhouette can be seen looming over him...}}
* [[Large Ham]]: For some bizarre reason, his voice actor seems to be channeling a very self-aware, parodic William Shatner. This leads to many stilted, oddly-enunciated line readings, but [[Narm Charm|on the other hand]] makes him seem like he's not all there, which gives him an overly-theatrical [[Mad Scientist]] kind of vibe.
** [[Ham and Cheese]]
* [[Mask Power]]
* [[Too Many Belts]]
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Even though half of his face is obscured by a mask, he's still pretty good-looking.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* [[Lady in Red]]
* [[Pet the Dog]]: She's [[Understatement|very loyal]] to Leonid. It serves to make her both a [[Foil]] to Aya and humanizes her a bit.
* [[Uncanny Valley Makeup]]: She seems to have heaped on tons of red eyeshadow, which makes her look sleep-deprived and maniacal.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Leonid.

=== {{spoiler|Veros}} ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Bigger Bad]]}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Jerkass Gods]]}}
