The characters in Monster Girl Quest. Beware, unmarked spoilers below.


Main Characters

Luka

The protagonist of the series, Luka begins the story in Ilias Village. The Goddess Ilias appears to him in a vision, urging him to become a Hero and slay the Monster Lord in order to drive back the hordes of monsters that plague the world. Despite this, Luka can't help but wonder if humans and monsters might be able to get along...

  • Ancestral Weapon: The Angel Halo was originally carried by Heinrich to defeat Black Alice 500 years ago.
  • Artistic Age
  • Art Shift: The game has many different artists, so Luka looks extremely different depending on the CG - he can shift between young boy and ripped 16-year old between scenes, for instance.
  • The Atoner: Late in the first game it is revealed that Luka’s father was responsible for co-founding the terrorist group Ilias Creutz. Luka's desire to create a world where humans and monsters get along is partially influenced by his father's sins.
  • Awesome but Impractical: Quadruple Giga, the "power to destroy everything", defeats pretty much every monster in a single hit, but takes a long time to charge up and is easily interrupted.
  • Badass
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Uses a Cursed Sword fighting style taught by Alice to enforce peace between humans and monsters.
  • Blade Spam: Ninefold Rakshasa and Death Sword Chaos Star.
  • Blessed with Suck: For the most part it really, really sucks to be attractive to monster girls.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Absolutely everything related to his ancestry is a gigantic bazooka waiting to be fired.
  • Chick Magnet: In a setting where it REALLY sucks to be one of these.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome
  • Contractual Genre Blindness: The main reason why he didn't realize Alice was the Monster Lord despite overwhelming evidence before The Reveal.
  • Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Sleeping mode. Luka in his sleeping state is supremely powerful, but repeated usage will eventually consume him and turn him into a being of pure holy power. Considering Luka might just be the most powerful being on the planet, this would be disastrous.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: The deeply conservative and xenophobic elders of Ilias Village didn't take kindly to Luka and his mother, to the extent that they refused to give him the medicine needed to treat her when she fell ill.
  • Death From Above: The Demon Skull Beheading Technique.
  • Determinator
  • Elemental Powers: Gained by forging a bond with the spirits.
  • Mr. Fanservice: An in-universe example. Justified since Ilias's baptism is supposed to make people unappealing to monsters, and since Luka missed his baptism...
  • Evil Laugh: His laugh is rather unsettling according to Alice.
  • Evil Weapon: The Angel Halo, given to Luka by Alice. Its name comes from the fact that it is made out of 666 melted angels fused into the shape of a sword.
  • Friend to All Living Things: Less so in chapter 2.
  • Generation Xerox: Goes on a journey to gain the power of the four elements, defeats the monster lord, then turns against Ilias. He even looks like Heinrich, wields the same sword and has the same ultimate attack.
  • Good Thing You Can Heal: After lose a battle against Granberia in second chapter, Alice note that Luka's injuries could cripple normal swordman. Taking Luka's healing ability into account, she expect him to fully recover in half month. Turn out that he need only a night.
  • Hard Work Hardly Works, Beginner's Luck: Double subversion. Luka did train for years before his journey, only to learn in his first battle that it's completely useless since unlike training dummy, monsters move around during battle. He won first two battle by swing his sword blindly against slime and throwing salt at slug girl, and has to restart his training under Alice afterward.
  • Healing Factor: He heals at a much, much faster pace than normal humans, recovering from near-lethal injuries inflicted by Granberia in a single night. And he can heal non-lethal injuries within seconds of mediation.
  • Heroic BSOD: During his confrontation with Lazarus in the Ilias Kreuz headquarters.
  • Heroic Resolve: Which lets him fully use the power of the earth.
  • H-Game POV Character: Very solid Type I, which is odd, because Type I's usually star in far less rapey games. Then again, Luka is the rapee, not the rapist, and only Alice's events are canon. He does dip into Type II in some events, but always recovers with Character Development.
  • Hidden Depths
  • Hot-Blooded: At times.
  • Identical Grandson: Probably to Heinrich.
  • Idiot Hero: Luka is smarter than most, but still falls prey to stupidity on occasion.
    • It's implied that he's aware of this, but he keeps acting the part anyway because he feels that it's what he's supposed to be doing.
  • In the Blood: Ilias refers to Luka's bloodline as "tainted". He's probably a descendant of Heinrich.
  • Knight in Sour Armor
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • Light Is Not Good: Angel Luka.
  • Limit Break: When Luka falls asleep, his power increases dramatically and a whole slew of new powers are unlocked. These include Fallen Angel Dance, Heavenly Demon Revival and Ninefold Rakshasa.
    • Serene Mind makes Luka near untouchable and increases his attack power, but it also rapidly drains his SP.
  • Magic Knight: Thanks to the help of the spirits.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Luka's physique varies depending on the artist, but he's still abnormally strong for a person with his build, especially with Gnome's power.
  • The Messiah: Pretty much humanity's last hope of survival at the end of Part 2.
  • Missed the Call: Not that it stopped him.
  • Nigh Invulnerability: With Gnome at full power.
  • No Kill Like Overkill: His Quadruple Giga Spirit Bomb in the sequel can defeat pretty much any monster outright. Of course you only get it at the very end of the game.
  • Not So Different: To Lily. Both experienced harsh childhoods but chose to deal with it in completely opposite ways.
  • Orphan's Plot Trinket: His mother's ring. Alice claims she can't detect anything from it except a mother's love, but it keeps being brought up regardless.
  • Rage Against the Heavens: Raises his sword against Ilias and basically declares war on her.
  • Rage Breaking Point
  • Selectively-Lethal Weapon: The Angel Halo seals monsters rather than killing them.
    • Angel Halo is a strictly nonlethal weapon. Luka still carries his steel sword for killing blows.
  • Super Reflexes: While Serene Mind is active.
  • Super Speed: Thanks to Sylph.
  • Supreme Chef
  • Technical Pacifist: He doesn't want to kill any monsters. Even before acquiring Angel Halo, he instead beats monsters into surrendering.
    • There is one notable exception to that: when facing Cassandra, he flies in a genuine murderous rage and it's made very clear he's trying to kill her and the only things stopping him from doing so are her being extremely powerful and his sword being nonlethal. In fact, when the whole mess is over, he doesn't even berate Alice for killing Cassandra, and his only comments are of dejected depression because there's some people who just plain are completely irredeemable.
  • Technical Virgin: Canonically, yes. While the monsters will suck, fondle and do pretty much anything to him, he can never actually have penetrative intercourse with any of them without getting a game over. Defeat scenes aside, any attack that involves penetration is inescapable once it hits, meaning a guaranteed loss. Even the few canonical sex scenes Luka gets (with Alice, Meia and Sara) are non-penetrative. While he MIGHT have had sex with a human girl before the story begins, it seems doubtful.
    • He loses the status in the sequel, to Alice.
    • There's a notable exception to that: it is possible to take a penetrative attack without an instant defeat from the Lencubus, but since she drains levels when she does it, if it happens too often you WILL lose. It's possible to throw her off the first two times (the second with Gnome), but third time, you're pretty much gone because you lost too many levels. So depending on how the battle with the Lencubus goes, Luka just may lose his virginity to her...
  • Thou Shall Not Kill: He doesn't kill anyone in first chapter, thanks to Angel Halo's sealing power and monsters running away at the sight of danger.
  • The Unchosen One: Luka manages to miss his baptism, due to both a Slime girl attacking the village and Alice attacking and injuring Ilias badly enough that she couldn't be present. He continues on regardless, although in subsequent visions Ilias still calls him her Chosen One...
  • Unstoppable Rage: Against Lily in chapter one after hearing her excuses for turning to witchcraft and against the Alraunes when they start butchering the defeated insects.
    • Also against Lazarus in chapter 2.
  • Tsundere: Becomes this towards Alice in the sequel.
  • Wall Jump: He can't jump high enough to use Demon Skull Beheading Technique, so he has to rely on environment to perform the move.
  • When All You Have Is a Hammer: Due to Luka's no-killing policy he cannot use anything other than the Angel Halo to combat monsters. Even his elemental attacks are sword strikes.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: Although his Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism keep moving. While he plays this trope straight in lighthearted sidequests (like The Four Bandits), he subverts it by being aware of upcoming complications in others (such as Harpy Village). Darker sidequests (mostly Lily and Plansect Forest) leave him thoroughly depressed.
  • Yin-Yang Bomb: His regular attacks are darkness-themed (since he learned them from Alice), while his moveset as Lukafer is light-based. His finishing Quadruple Giga against Ilias will also count as he fuses Alice's dark power and his holy power into the attack to further amplify its devastating power.

Alice

AKA Alipheese Fateburn 16th. A strange monster that Luka discovers in the forest near Ilias Village. Alice is a unique monster, having traits of many different monster types, though her main body is that of a lamia. Her identity is obvious from the start, but she is later revealed in-game to be the Monster Lord. Her character design is by Kenkou Cross of Monster Girl Encyclopedia fame.

  • A Form You Are Comfortable With: Uses a human disguise in human settlements, unless she's alone with Luka.
  • Asskicking Equals Authority: Monster Lords are determined through tournaments. The winner becomes the Monster Lord, while the strongest remaining contestants become the Heavenly Knights. The powerful Alipheese line has won every tournament so far.
  • The Atoner: For accidentally making peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters impossible in the aftermath of her mother's death; she is training Luka so that history may repeat itself and Luka may kill her in combat, putting an end to monster tyranny.
  • Awesome McCoolname: Her actual name is Alipheese Fateburn.
  • Badass Family: See Asskicking Equals Authority.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Alice apparently had a huge fight with Ilias right before Luka found her. She's not even bruised despite later claiming to have been quite badly injured, though that may be her limited number of sprites in action.
  • Big Bad: Ilias claims she is one. Luka isn't so sure, and there's plenty of evidence to suggest that she really isn't.
    • Part 2 ending confirms that she's actually this series's Big Good, while Ilias is the true Big Bad.
  • Big Eater: She really does enjoy her food, to the extent that whenever she expresses an interest in something Luka tells her not to eat it. In one memorable bad end, she eats Luka as well.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: She has at least three mouths in different parts of her body (apparently feeding into two separate stomachs), and that is just tip of the iceberg.
  • Curb Stomp Battle: The likely result if you ever decide to challenge her. Until the sequel's final boss battle.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Her rogue subordinates pose a far greater threat to humanity than Alice herself.
  • Death Seeker
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Although she never really stops calling Luka an idiot or a fake hero.
    • The "fake hero" thing quickly becomes a term of endearment, and after the Plansect Forest story arc, Luka begins using it to refer to himself as well.
  • Devil in Plain Sight
    • Subverted: It's the eighth Monster Lord you should be afraid of. Alice isn't very dangerous unless you seriously anger her or pick a fight with her.
  • Epic Fail: Her attempts to cook. Well, it isn't really even an attempt to cook if she annihilates the cooking pot.
  • Expy: Her appearance seem to based on description of the Demon Lord from Kenkou Cross's Monster Girl Encyclopedia. But since the Demon Lord doesn't have artwork yet, it's unknown if she really resembles Alice. Later materials, such as the entry for the lilim, clears this up, referencing that they inherit physical characteristics from Lilith such as white hair and red eyes. While Alice does have white hair in both of her forms, she has Eyes of Gold instead of red.
    • She also has quite a lot in common with Horo, especially her snarky, superior personality and endless obsession with good food.
  • Eyes of Gold: She also has a general eye motif.
  • Freudian Excuse: She was raised by Tamamo and had to suffer a lot of teasing from the kitsunes, so she now often bullies them in return.
  • Gorgeous Gorgon
  • Blue-Skinned Monster Babe: In her true lamia form.
  • Hopeless Boss Fight: Both fights against Alice in part 1 are optional battles that the player has no chance of winning.
  • Kuudere
  • Jerkass Facade
  • Monster Lord: The actual Monster Lord. It's pretty obvious from the very beginning.
    • Although the eighth Monster Lord is still around.
  • One-Woman Army: In chapter 2, she kill about hundred chimera beasts at ruin of Remina without single scratch.
  • Redemption Equals Death: Her idea of redemption at least. She forces Luka to fight her, leading to either Alice sealing herself away from the rest of the world with Luka or Luka killing Alice. Luka takes a third option and spares her.
  • Snakes Are Sexy
  • Stepford Snarker
  • Stripperiffic: Even in her human form, she still wears the same dress as in monster form, which is next to nothing.
  • Technical Pacifist: All monsters are her cute subordinates, so she refuses to help Luka fight any of his battles. She's fine with teaching him new skills, though.
    • She does attack other monsters a few times, but she generally has a good excuse when she does. One example would be against Chimera enemies, which she can't recognize (due to them being monsters created by heaven).
  • Taking You with Me: Inverted; if Luka loses his final battle against Alice at the end of part 2 (which she was planning to lose to bring about world peace) she seals the room with an unbreakable barrier, trapping herself and Luka in there for eternity. Her intention is that the world will think it was Luka who sacrificed himself to seal her away forever. On the bright side, at least this means her and Luka get to spend the rest of eternity making love.
  • Technical Virgin: While she requires semen to survive, that semen was given to her by her parents, as she was kept away from humans. Luka ends up taking her virginity in chapter 2.
  • Verbal Tic: "Hora, hora, hora!" [1] Only while having sex with Luka though.
    • She shares the tic with her Four Knights, although they have their own versions (Tamamo says "hore!" and Granberia says "sore!").
  • When She Smiles: Alice is always a smoking hot sexpot with beauty unmatched among females, but on the very rare occasions that she genuinely smiles you'll be shocked at how outright cute she can be.
  • White-Haired Pretty Girl
  • Woman Scorned: Making Alice angry is a good way to get a bad end.
  • Worf Effect: The Chimera Dryad effortlessly shrugs off an attack from Alice, setting the tone for a painful struggle against That One Boss.
    • Strangely enough, Luka does more damage than her despite the number shown. Perhaps her damage is just empty text after all.
  • Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts
  • You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You?: Her excuse for finally having sex with Luka in chapter two. Given the prior conversation, it's obvious that there's more to it than that.

The Church of Ilias

Ilias

The central figure of the church, Ilias is an angelic being revered by her worshippers as the goddess who created the world. Ilias's religion is extremely prevalent, especially in the southern continent where Luka grew up. Ilias appears to Luka in a dream, telling him to slay the Monster Lord and therefore marking the beginning of the story.

  • Alas, Poor Villain: As she lays dying from her injuries from Luka and Alice's final attack she remembers how in the beginning she was born utterly alone in the universe and hoped for a time when intelligent life may evolve just so she could have some companionship and when humans began worshipping her as a Goddess she eventually became so dependent on their attention that the idea that humans would no longer need a Goddess terrified her since that would mean she would no longer have any reason to live. Even Luka and Micaela sympathize with her in the end with Luka remembering how this was similar to before when he was obsessed with the idea of being a hero while Micaela notes that none of them truly understood what being alone for billions of years would have been like.
  • Bad Boss: Quick to remind even Black Alice that she's the one running the show and any show of insubordination will cost her dearly.
  • Big Bad: Has even Black Alice on a tight leash.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Some see Ilias as one in the main story. In the evaluations one can chose to take if they lose. She even rapes you (with a hand job) if you annoy her by doing fifty evaluations in Chapter 1, accusing you of doing it on purpose and trying to "wring" the lust out of you. And, to be fair, you probably were. You also have three chances to get killed by her before you even fight your first enemy, though there's actually a pretty good explanation for that.
  • Crystal Dragon Jesus
  • Does Not Know Her Own Strength: A single finger poke during the tutorial fight brings Luka down to 1 HP. Asking her to repeat the demonstration results in death.
  • Egopolis: The main settlements of the first part of the game are Ilias Village, Illiasport, Iliasburg and Ilias Forest.
    • Also San Ilia, the translator decided to change it from San Iria after part 1.
  • Expy: Gender aside, she's overly lawful, partially strong armed the in universe equivalent of Lucifer into killing all the humans she considered ungrateful or merely not as loyal as she liked, demands the extermination of all things she deems evil simply because she says they are, doesn't believe in any sort of compromise of her ideals whatsoever...........she sound a little bit like YHVH to anyone else yet?!
  • Final Boss
    • Sequential Boss
    • Marathon Boss: Her final form has a colossal 600,000 HP. Luka's and Alice's strongest attacks combined will only shave off a few pixels of her life bar. Mitigated by the fact that as the battle progresses, Luka's allies join the battle, pitching in to do significant hits to her while taking hits from her attacks, but with the accompanying in-battle dialogue the fight will take much longer than the previous fights.
  • God Is Evil
  • Good Is Not Nice: Assuming she is good, this definitely applies. Depending on the choices, Luka can die by her hand three different times before fighting a single battle, though most of those are non-malicious.
  • Have a Nice Death: Narrates the post-battle advice sections.
  • It's All About Me: Has some SERIOUS ego issues. There are three chances for her to kill Luka before his first fight—two of those happen just because he ignored her.
  • Kill'Em All: Teams up with the 8th Monster Lord to wipe the slate clean and start the world over, as she feels that humanity is too ungrateful for what she has done for them, culminating in her Chosen One essentially telling her to go fuck herself.
    • Given that "what she has done for them" apparently includes slaughtering them by the thousands, thus throwing humans into war with monsters, humanity may have good reason to be ungrateful.
  • Kryptonite Factor: Being baptized by Ilias carries the chief benefit of making a person totally unappealing to monsters.
  • Light Is Not Good: May or may not be true.
    • Is it ever.
  • Secret Test of Character: She views humanity as just as corrupt as monsters and chose the innocent Luka to embark on a quest to redeem humanity in her eyes. Needless to say, he failed.
  • Slasher Smile: A TERRIFYING one in the sequel.
  • Terrible Trio: With Black Alice and Promesthein.
  • Unreliable Narrator: If what Alice says is true, Ilias did not create the world and certainly did not create the monsters that cohabit it. In addition, she continues to call Luka a true Hero even though he missed his baptism.
  • Vicious Cycle: Ilias's commandment that humans are forbidden from having sex with monsters has resulted in a particularly nasty one, forcing many monsters to attack human settlements in order to stop themselves going extinct.
  • Villain's Dying Grace: Uses her the last of her power to reverse Luka's holy energy erosion, in her own words finally performing an act befitting a Goddess before congratulating him for saving the world and referring to him as a true hero.
  • What the Hell, Player?: "Stop losing on purpose to watch the sex scenes!"
  • Winged Humanoid
  • Xanatos Gambit: Had anticipated her betrayal and consumption at Black Alice's hands, and planned for Luka to defeat Black Alice afterwards to release her, so that she can attain a body containing both holy and dark power and become the ultimate being.
  • Yin Yang Bomb: Her final form arises from a mixture of the first Monster Lord's genes interacting with her holy power.

Eden

One of Ilias' loyal angels, and the leader of the entire angel army. Was formerly third best among the seraphs before her predecessors, Micaela and Lucifina, became fallen angels. As such, she has a sore spot when referred to as "The Third".

Micaela

The first seraph created by Ilias, and an expert strategist due to her long experience in commanding the army of angels. Rebelled against Ilias after the slaughter of Remina. She escaped to the surface world and found Enrika as a safe haven for monsters and fallen angels alike.

  • Chekhov's Gunman: First encountered in Chapter 1 where she denies Luka entry to Enrika. Her identity becomes known once Luka revisits Enrika.
  • Fallen Angel
  • Punny Name: Based on Archangel Michael.
  • Ms. Exposition: Tells Luka of the history between Ilias and the Monster Lords, the true identity of his mother, and explains his newly acquired Fallen Angel powers and how it will take a toll on his body if used excessively.

Lucifina

The second seraph created by Ilias. Rebelled against Ilias 500 years ago when she rescued Black Alice and Promestein, then fled to the surface world and concealed her identity by sealing her angelic powers. She then met and fell in love with Marcellus and became Luka's mother.

Mysterious Woman (Promestein)

A mysterious woman wearing scientist's lab coat who appears and leave multiple time during the haunthouse and witch hunt quests. Chekhov's Gunman ensues.

She's actually an angel who is engineering incredibly powerful chimera monsters to strengthen Ilias's army, and even created artificial copies of the Elemental Spirits to empower various monsters.

  • Creating Life: Created the Chimeras as half-machine anti-monster weapons, including ones tailor-made against the four knights.
  • The Dragon: To Ilias.
  • Evil Counterpart: Possesses artificial copies of Sylph and Gnome, Zylphine and Gnomaren, and uses them in her fight. Also created artificial copies of the other Spirits for the monsters to use.
  • One-Winged Angel: Creates a drug, White Rabbit, which contains the genes of the first Monster Lord, that is capable of inducing this. Uses it on herself in her final confrontation.
  • Portmanteau Name: Prometheus and Frankenstein.
    • Meaningful Name: Much like the original Prometheus, Promestein first introduced fire to mankind and was punished accordingly.
  • Humans Are Special: Admires the human race for their thirst for knowledge and desire for growth, which led to her coming in contact with mankind and introducing fire to them. She also has high hopes for mankind, wishing for them to take up her search for knowledge and eventually reach greater heights with it than she managed.
  • Science Is Bad: Ostracized by her fellow angels for trying to understand how the world works rather than believing Ilias willed it so.
  • The Starscream: Cooperates with Black Alice to overthrow Ilias with the aid of White Rabbit, but also plots to use White Rabbit herself to consume Luka, become the ultimate being, and betray Black Alice.

The Four Heavenly Knights

The four chief vassals who serve the Monster Lord. Each is the most powerful member of their respective species and are responsible for carrying out the Monster Lord's will.

Granberia

The Knight of Fire, Granberia belongs to the Dragon species. Luka first meets Granberia in Iliasburg where she attempts to conquer the city, and would have easily done so singlehandedly had Alice not stopped her.

  • Badass
  • Badass Adorable: Artwork of the sequel seems to be giving her this vibe.
  • BFS
  • Blood Knight
  • Can't Catch Up: Becomes stronger linearly, while Luka grows exponentially.
  • The Dragon: Figuratively and literally.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Just ask Sara.
  • Hot-Blooded
  • Little Miss Badass: When she tells Luka, she mastered the Serene Mind technique 20 years ago, he thinks it's a case of her being Really 700 Years Old. She reveals she was 5 at that point.
  • Master Swordswoman
  • Mirror Match: In the final battle against her, Granberia uses the same moves as Luka. Justified since they're techniques used by monster champions, so Granberia has studied them as well. The only exception is Quadruple Giga, which used by the hero Heinrich. Naturally, it is the only move that can defeat her.
  • One-Man Army: Easily took out the garrisons of both Iliasburg and San Ilia singlehandedly without breaking a sweat.
  • Our Dragons Are Different
  • Playing with Fire: She can set her sword on fire with magic.
    • Elemental Powers: Although fire is her primary element, she can use other three as well.
  • Recurring Boss: You fight her more times than any other enemy.
    • Puzzle Boss: And each time, even in the Monster Lord's Castle, you have to progress the fight by demonstrating to her various recently-acquired skills.
  • Tsundere: Her character traits seem to be largely based on the Dragon race from the Monster Girl Encyclopedia. As such, she starts to fall for Luka as he grows stronger in the sequel.
  • Worf Effect: Got a sound beating from Arc-en-Ciel at the end of the second chapter. Partly because she's still not recovered from the fight with Luka, and partly because Arc-en-Ciel was created specially to counter her abilities.
  • Worthy Opponent: Often laments that there are so few strong warriors to face her in battle. She considers Luka to be one because he didn't run away despite being so much weaker than her.
  • Younger Than They Look: She's 25.

Tamamo

The Knight of Earth, Tamamo is a nine-tailed Kitsune. She is first encountered after she retrieves Poseidon's Bell from a treasure cave, but offers it to Luka after hearing about how he rescued one of her subordinates.

  • Anti-Magic: Aqua Canceller, Wind Canceller and Fire Canceller, removing the effect of Luka's summoned spirit.
  • Cute Bruiser: In second chapter, her attacks include "Tamamo Punch", "Tamamo Tackle" and "Tamamo Rolling". When Luka dodges these attacks, he is terrified by the damage they leave behind.
  • Dishing Out Dirt
  • Friendly Enemy: She never attacks Luka in first chapter, and offers him Poseidon's Bell after hearing how he rescued her follower from the spider girl. In second chapter, she teams up with Luka to fight Yamata no Orochi and teaches him to use a stronger Gnome technique.
  • Hopeless Boss Fight: In first chapter, you have the option of challenging her to a fight. Winning is impossible, however.
  • Kitsune
  • Legacy of Service: Advisor to the monster lords for over 500 years.
  • Older Than They Look: Despite her childish looks, Tamamo is actually the oldest of the four.
  • Physical God: As nine-tails kitsune, she enjoys the status in Yamatai.
  • Readings Are Off the Scale: Luka defeats a seven-tailed kitsune thanks to his mysterious sleep-based powers moments before encountering Tamamo. According to Alice, however, nine tails are so much more powerful than seven that it's not even worth considering trying to fight her.
  • Really 700 Years Old
  • Stealth Mentor: To Luka, during their fight against Yamata-no-Orochi and even their final battle in the Monster Lord's castle. Justified in that she's been teaching several generations of Monster Lords for centuries, and with Luka using skills that draw on monsters' powers, she can't help but correct him.
  • Super Strength
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Her optional fight in Chapter 1. She does 9 hits, each that hits more than your MAX HP.
  • Trademark Favourite Food: Aburaage. For the record, it's tofu that has been sliced thin and fried twice, a staple favorite for most any kitsune.
  • Youkai

Alma Elma

The Knight of Wind, Alma Elma is a very powerful Succubus. She was the one responsible for preventing ships from leaving the southern continent by conjuring huge storms.

Erubetie

The Knight of Water, Erubetie is a unique slime. She is not encountered in the first game apart from being referenced in a conversation between the other three Knights.

The Four Elemental Spirits

The four spirits that lent their power to the hero Heinrich 500 years ago, allowing him to defeat the eighth Monster Lord. Luka also seeks out their assistance in a similar manner.

The Spirits in general:

  • Puzzle Boss: Barring Gnome, each Spirit requires you to perform a scripted task instead of whittling down their HP. Justified as they are testing Luka's capabilities or trying to teach him a new technique.

Sylph

The wind spirit, and the first to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 abilities help Luka protect himself from things like vines, tentacles, and anything that can easily be blown away or chopped up by wind. Additionally, magical attacks or attacks that rely on aromas can be blown away by the wind. Her level 2 abilities allow Luka to evade almost any attack altogether, as well as increasing his normal attacks' hit rate to 100%. Finally, her Level 3 abilities allow Luka to use two normal attacks per turn instead of one, and her summoning cost is lowered from 2 SP to 1 SP. The special technique Lightning Sword Flash (an upgraded version of Thunder Thrust) can be powered up by channeling it with Sylph. When Luka awakens to his Fallen Angel Powers and regains Sylph, Sylph's powers improve his Fallen Angel Dance skill. When the seal of elements is lifted, Sylph's abilities revert to Level 3 and also empower his Flash Kill attack.

  • Blow You Away: Of course, as she is the spirit of wind. Contrasts Alma Elma, the wind-attribute Heavenly Knight.
  • Butt Monkey: Constantly abused by the other spirits, and occasionally Alice too.
  • Disc One Nuke: Her ability trivializes almost every fight for the remainder of chapter one. Even the Chimera Dryad becomes unable to lay a single attack on Luka while Sylph is active (with the exception of her one-hit-kill attack, which can be avoided simply by defending).
  • The Ditz: Can come off as this quite often. In truth, she's not so much ditzy as she is childish.
  • Flash Step: Her enhanced abilities allow Luka to dodge like this, and the upgraded Thunder Thrust technique with Sylph's power acts in a similar manner.
  • Idiot Hair: Sports a VERY prominent ahoge.
  • Team Mom: In a way. At the very least, she seems to be the only of the spirits who enjoys having the others around. She goes to the extent of trying to put together a picnic with the other three, only to be set on fire by Salamander.

Gnome

The earth spirit, and the second to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 abilities help Luka to more easily break out of enemies' holds. Her Level 2 abilities cuts the damage Luka takes in half, as well as increasing his chance to land a critical hit. Finally, her Level 3 abilities increase Luka's critical hit chance to 100%, and reduce Gnome's summoning cost from 2 SP to 1 SP. The special technique Earth Rumbling Decapitation (an upgraded version of Demon Skull Beheading) can be powered up by channeling it with Gnome. When Luka awakens to his Fallen Angel powers and regains Gnome, they revert to Level 2 strength, and reach Level 3 and empower his Heavenly Demon Revival attack once the seal on the elements is lifted.

  • Creepy Doll: Her mud dolls, at least one of which she is almost always seen holding (in her physical form, at least).
    • Doubles in creepiness, she has them rape Luka if he fails her trial.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Naturally, as the earth spirit. Contrasts Tamamo, the earth-attribute Heavenly Knight.
  • Emotionless Girl
  • The Stoic: Doesn't say anything, and doesn't do anything besides occasionally punching Sylph.
  • The Voiceless: Her profile states that she prefers other methods of communication because she's bad at expressing herself.

Undine

The water spirit, and the third to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 abilities (almost useless, as Luka is unable to control her powers at first) shave off a tiny amount of the damage Luka takes (roughly 10%). Her level 2 abilities allow Luka to easily dodge enemy attacks (at a nearly 100% rate), while reducing damage from attacks that do land, as well as increasing his offensive capabilities (though preventing critical hits from occurring) at the cost of 1 SP per turn. Finally, her Level 3 abilities change her SP cost to a one-time cost of 4 SP, rather than consuming 1 SP every turn (though the dodge rate is reduced). The special technique Serene Demon Sword (an upgraded version of Demon Decapitation) can be powered up by channeling it with Undine, at the cost of ending her summoning. When Luka awakens to his Fallen Angel powers and regains Undine, Undine's powers improve his Serene Mind state (and retains the SP cost of 2) and also power up his Daystar counterattack when the seal on the elements is lifted.

Salamander

The fire spirit, and the last to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 abilities allow Luka to increase his offensive capability, at the cost of temporarily being unable to recover his HP; however, the damage increase is negligible, due to Luka not being able to properly harness Salamander's powers. After her Level 2 upgrade, summoning her will further increase Luka's offensive capabilities as well as max out his SP, though his SP will drop back down to 0 when her power leaves. Finally, her Level 3 abilities no longer prevent Luka from recovering HP, and do not drain his SP when her summoning ends. The special technique Vaporizing Rebellion Sword (an upgraded version of Death Sword Chaos Star) can be powered up by channeling it with Salamander. When Luka awakens to his Fallen Angel powers and regains Salamander, her powers revert to Level 2 strength. Once the seal on the elements is lifted, these return to Level 3 strength and also empower his Ninefold Rakshasa attack.

  • Fiery Redhead: Averted as far as we've seen, despite her encyclopedia entry claiming such (as well as literally having a fiery red head). She's quite calm, and doesn't get much more fired up even when in battle.
  • Game Breaker: Her level 3 version is quite simply this- instantly fully recharges your SP AND boosts your damage for no drawback? On the other hand, you NEED it for the couple of battles you get it for.
  • Hotblooded Sideburns: As to be expected of the spirit of fire.
  • Limit Break: Her enhanced powers can come off as this. A final burst of SP and enhanced offense will let you finish off enemies easily, but when her power runs out, you're reduced to 0 SP and most likely heavily injured due to not being able to recover HP with her active. Suffice to say, it's VERY important to finish off your enemies while she's still active.
  • The Obi-Wan: To Granberia, though Salamander is the weaker of the two nowadays. The two apparently were together for a majority of Granberia's early life.
  • Playing with Fire: Only natural for the fire spirit. Contrasts Granberia, the fire-attribute Heavenly Knight (who also happens to be Salamander's former student).

Minor Villains

The Four Bandits

Four monster bandits who terrorise the lands around Iliasburg. Well, they would, if not for the fact that they are all children. The band is comprised of a goblin, a lamia, a vampire and a dragon.

  • Harmless Villains
  • Hypnotic Eyes: The Vampire can defeat Luka with these, but like the Goblin Girl she telegraphs the attack so obviously that she actually has to ask you to look into her eyes.
  • Hero Worshipper: To the Four Heavenly Knights.
  • Not So Harmless: The Dragon Pup is the only one who is actually dangerous due to her fire breath.
  • Poke the Poodle: Their actions essentially amounted to harmless pranks.
  • Super Strength: The Goblin Girl actually has the strength to KO Luka with one hit, but she telegraphs her attack so obviously that you can really only get hit by it if you deliberately let her.

Harpy Queen

The queen of the harpies who are abducting men from Happiness Village.

  • I Let You Win: Her profile states that she wasn't fighting against Luka with her full power due to doubts about her plan.
  • Tenchi Solution: Eventually agrees to this solution in order to stop the conflict.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Encouraged her followers to kidnap human men from nearby villages, but only because Ilias' prohibition meant they were in danger of extinction otherwise.
  • Winged Humanoid

Chrome

A necromancer obsessed with zombies and the dead. Chrome is the mastermind behind the haunted mansion sidequest, taking up residence in the abandoned house and raising many zombies from its sprawling graveyard.

  • Easily Forgiven: Downplay. When Luka fight her, he claims that Chrome is too evil and must be sealed, she run away before that can be done. When Luka tells Alice that Chrome is the one behind whole haunted house incident, Alice angily beat a crap out of her, it's so brutal that Luka end up holding Alice back, and lets Chrome escape with promise that she will never perform experiment with corpses again.
  • Frankenstein's Monster: Frederika, a massive female zombie whose main body is based on the last daughter of the house. Over the years Chrome added parts from other zombies onto her in order to "improve" her creation.
  • Grave Robbing
  • Horny Devils: It has been stated in-game that she is a succubus, even if she acts nothing like one.
  • I Love the Dead
  • Mad Scientist
  • Mad Scientist Laboratory: The crypts beneath the mansion.
  • Necromancer
  • Older Than They Look: Despite her apparent youthfulness, Chrome is actually a hundred years older than Alice.
  • The Stinger: Her profile notes that she's now researching ghosts. This Is Gonna Suck for Alice.


Lily

The main villain of the Witch Hunt sidequest, Lily was the illegitimate daughter of the village chief. After being shunned her entire life, Lily took her revenge by murdering her father and brothers with forbidden magic and subjecting her village to brutal witch hunts.


Lazarus

The current leader of the anti-monster terrorist group Ilias Creutz. Lazarus is officially seen only briefly in the first chapter, but has a hidden conversation in Sabasa that proves to be very revealing.

  • Ax Crazy: Subverted. Lazarus is actually very mellow and calm about his various bombings.
  • Awesomeness By Analysis: Immediately discerns Luka's fighting style simply by looking at his shoes.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He was part of Luka's father's expedition to kill the Monster Lord. They failed miserably and formed a terrorist organisation instead, which led to Luka's father's death.
    • As it turns out, the Monster Lord surrendered herself to Luka's father and Lazarus, sacrificing herself to ensure peace between monsters and humans. Alice, however, upon witnessing her mother's death, ends up killing multiple people, convincing the human expedition that coexistence is impossible. Luka's father eventually met his end at Lazarus's hands after he found out that he was secretly sabotaging them, his faith shaken from the atrocities they have committed.
  • Death Seeker
  • Fallen Hero
  • Jumped Off the Slippery Slope
  • Knight Templar
  • Mad Bomber
  • Not So Different: When Luka lambasts him for using violence to uphold Ilias's laws, Lazarus counters by asking Luka how many monsters he himself has trampled over in pursuit of his goal of co-operation.
  • Redemption Equals Death: Requests for Salamander's power to hold off the forces attacking Gold Port in Chapter 3. Using such power without a contract results in him seriously injuring himself, a fact that he had known beforehand.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: He's an old man whose quest to kill the Monster Lord never ended, particularly after the death of his best friends and supposedly Luka's father at the hands of a monster.
  • Taken for Granite: Turned to stone by Alice so that Luka wouldn't kill him outright. It later wears off in Chapter 3 just in time for him to see Gold Port under siege.

The Canaan Sisters

A trio of carnivorous alraunes who hire themselves out as mercenaries to the plant side during the Plansect Village conflict.


Yamata no Orochi

A legendary monster that lives in the mountains near Yamatai. The Orochi used to be sealed but has since awoken and begun demanding sacrifices in exchange for leaving the village alone.


Cassandra

The ruler of Lady Village, so-called because male adventurers who travel there never return. Cassandra and nearly all the other villagers are actually monsters in disguise who rape and devour any men who enter the village.

  • Blob Monster
  • Hypocrite: Had the audacity to beg for her life after claiming that only the strong deserve to survive.
  • I Am a Humanitarian: And proud of it too.
  • Karmic Death: Is eventually killed by Alice, who points out that her own belief in survival of the fittest means she was weak and therefore deserved to die.
  • Killed Off for Real: One of the only monsters so far to be killed outright rather than simply sealed.
  • Offing the Offspring: Devours her own daughter Emily after she fails to defeat Luka.
  • The Ojou: Her disguise until she unmasks herself.
  • The Social Darwinist: Cassandra believes wholeheartedly in the survival of the fittest and that strong monsters should rule over weak humans.

Alice the Eighth

The eighth Monster Lord, known as "Black Alice" due to being a cruel and sadistic monster who despises humans. She was defeated by the great human hero Heinrich 500 years prior to Luka's adventure. Somehow still alive.

  • Alice Allusion: Looks very much like that Alice.
  • Big Bad: One of them.
  • Creepy Child: She looks and acts the part, at least. Of course, she's actually hundreds of years old.
  • The Dragon: Demoted to this after she begins working with Ilias.
  • Monster Lord: The eighth, and by far the worst of them.
  • Really Seven Hundred Years Old: See Alice Allusion above.
  • Sequential Boss: Her final fight goes through 3 different forms, with no save points in between in the translation. Each form also has a wide variety of One Hit Kill attacks.
    • One-Winged Angel: Induced by the use of White Rabbit, and each form goes through different extensions of this trope.
    • Elemental Powers: Her final form gains the use of all four artificial Spirits, and can even cancel Luka's own if he tries to keep more than one Spirit active. Knowing how to counter each Spirit becomes vital to avoid instant death.
  • The Starscream: Cooperates with Promestein so that she can overthrow and consume Ilias, become the ultimate dark lord, and conquer the world.
  • Terrible Trio: She, Ilias, and Promestein are the three main antagonists of the series.
  • Trick Boss: Set up to be the final boss of the game - even the Evaluation Meetings imply that. Her defeat results in Ilias' release and empowerment.
  • Unexplained Recovery: Assuming that the story is true in that Heinrich defeated her, she's somehow still around.

The Chimeras

Fearsome monsters that appear to be made from parts taken from many different creatures. They are mysterious beings and even Alice has no idea where they come from. Eventually revealed to be the creations of Promestein, who developed them as weapons to use in Ilias's plan to wipe the slate clean.

Chimeras in general:


Giganto Weapon

An ancient Chimera created a thousand years ago during the Monster Wars. Although she has lost some of her power since then, she is still a fearsome opponent. The Four Knights reactivate her to fight against Luka, but cannot control her, causing her to go on a rampage.

Arc-en-Ciel

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Granberia, she possesses incredible strength to match and overpower Granberia's own.

Hainuwele

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Alma Elma, she has incredible speed and agility to outmaneuver even the Queen Succubus' attacks, and her emotional responses dialed down to nothing to render her immune to pleasure-inducing attacks.

Tsukuyomi

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Tamamo.

Amphisbaena

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Erubeite, she has the ability to rapidly vibrate and damage slime cells, turning them into liquid that is uncontrollable by Erubeite.

Rapunzel

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Rather than being made to counter anyone, she is designed to breed the next generation of Next Dolls.

Side Characters

Marcellus

Luka's father, who died when Luka was a child. He's also the founder of the terrorist group Ilias Kreutz along with Lazarus, and was eventually killed by a monster. Or so Luka thought. In actuality after getting cold feet and warning monsters about their attacks ahead of time he is killed by Lazarus.

  • The Atoner: Began warning Ilias Kreutz's targets about their attacks ahead of time.
  • Badass Normal: Depending on whether or not he was baptised, but even so he and his followers fought their way across the world and made it to Helgondo without Garuda.
    • AND without the Spirits. Sylph explicitly says her last master was Heinrich... meaning Marcellus and his buddies had nothing but their own natural abilities to rely on. Which by extension means they had to be frighteningly powerful in their own right to get that far. Granted, two had enough monster blood to use some magic (they were a cleric and a wizard respectively), but still!
  • Fallen Hero
  • Heel Face Turn
  • Knight Templar: He founded Ilias Kruetz.
  • Posthumous Character

Heinrich Hein

A legendary Hero from 500 years ago. Heinrich successfully defeated the eighth Monster Lord, a feat which no Hero has managed to repeat. As such, he is Luka's idol.

  • And I Must Scream: He appears to have been sealed into the Sealed Sinners Prison by Ilias.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Heinrich is mentioned twice during the first chapter, but far more important information about him is revealed during the second.
  • Generation Xerox: Luka's journey parallels Heinrich's in many ways.
  • Posthumous Character
  • Shrouded in Myth: The circumstances surrounding Heinrich's journey have become very distorted through the ages. For instance, his Weapon of Choice was the Angel Halo rather than Ilias's Goddess Sword.

Amira the Unfortunate Lamia

A reverse lamia with human legs and a snake's torso. Amira often appears in towns and cities to offer helpful advice on where to go next... when she isn't hanging lampshades on something, or breaking the fourth wall, or telling Blatant Lies about herself.

King of Sabasa

The King of Sabasa and father of Sara. A grizzled old man who looks more like a warrior than a ruler. Turns out to be a distant descendant of the Sphinx.

Sara

The princess of Sabasa. When she runs away from the castle in order to attempt the pyramid's trial, she is assumed to have been kidnapped, and Luka is sent to "rescue" her. Turns out to be a distant descendant of the Sphinx.

  • Badass Princess: Though she doesn't seem like anything special when compared to Luka, she's easily more capable than any other human we've seen.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: After being (temporarily) turned into a monster in Part 2.
  • Everything's Better with Princesses
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Her bloodline is crossed with that of a powerful Sphinx, which is how she became so powerful when she was turned into a monster in chapter two.
  • Princess Incognito: Doesn't try to hide it; Luka just doesn't realize until it's blatantly stated.
  • Save the Princess: The pyramid sidequest starts out like this, but it soon becomes apparent that she was never abducted in the first place.
    • Given that she probably would have died without Luka's help, this trope is brought back into effect just as quickly.
    • She gets kidnapped for real in episode two.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Has had a thing for Granberia ever since Granberia saved her life.
    • She does reward Luka with a blowjob after the pyramid sidequest, but the trope still applies for various reasons.

Selena

A mysterious woman Luka meets in Goldport. She later turns out to be the granddaughter of the legendary Pirate Queen Selene.

Turns out to actually be the ghost of Selene herself, who was too filled with regret from opening the Box of Calamity to move on to the next life.

  1. A cutesy way of saying "Look, look, look!" in Japanese.
