* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Revya devours Gig in the Demon Path}}.

 

[[File:soulcradle19Gig 681.jpg|frame]]

A fallen god sealed inside the Onyx Blade. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|A Master of Death.]] Omnicidal, sociopathic, and awesomely evil. Was not originally like this. {{spoiler|He was originally the benevolent Vigilance, but after Median killed him, he was reborn by Drazil as the [[Omnicidal Maniac]] we all know and love. [[Hilarity Ensues]]}}.

 

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by Gig{{spoiler|/Vigilance}} include:}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Green.

 

A mysterious woman who appears in the player's dream from time to time. {{spoiler|She's actually the God of the world where the game takes place. And is more or less the adopted mom of Revya}}.

[[File:LaynaVirtuous-Capture 6663.jpg|frame]]

An elderly lady who was once a warrior queen who plays the role Revya and Danette's mentor and caretaker.

{{spoiler|In truth, she's Virtuous, Master of Life. She and Layna were once merged in a manner similar to Revya and Gig, but Gig killed their shared body once, and Layna's soul passed into the cycle of Rebirth, leaving Virtuous alone in her body. She is a World Ruler. Also a [[The Chessmaster|master manipulator]]}}.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: She is the Master of Life. She may not fight anymore, but she's helped Layna beat Gig, helped Revya and Gig KILL Median, and can make you stay dead for real}}.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: The plot of the game is one crafted by her to solve the real problem with the world.

* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Because she is Virtuous, the Master of Life}}.

 

[[File:soulcradle24Levin 1179.jpg|frame]]

A Sepp and one of Christophe's guards, who cares a lot about his sister Euphoria. He's a ridiculously fast runner and strong, though a little dimwitted and reckless. {{spoiler|''[[Obfuscating Stupidity|Not]]''. He's actually Raksha, one of the three World Eaters who was once under Gig's command. He crushed the soul of the original Levin when he was young and used his body to carry out his [[Evil Plan]]}}.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Becoming the Mask]]: In his Normal Path epilogue, he and Revya [[Walk the Earth]] together. In the Demon Path, he goes through a [[Heel Face Turn]] after enjoying the attention of being labeled a hero}}.

* [[The Big Guy]]: Alongside Grunzford.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: With Vitali.

 

A friend of Levin's and a cleric, Vitali is also one of Christophe's guards. A highly skilled chef.

 

* [[Combat Medic]]: While generally used for his healing ability, his stats due allow him to be a decent frontline fighter.

* [[Iron Chef]]

* [[You Do NOT Want to Know]]: How he found out that {{spoiler|Kanan is actually male}}.

 

[[File:Juno-Capture 9698.jpg|frame]]

A Nereid that joins the party. Very protective of her adopted son Penn.

 

* [[Commuting on a Bus]]: Stops appearing with the main characters in the storyline after defeat Feinne for the most part, but she's still available in gameplay at least.

* [[Dub Name Change]]: Her name in the Japanese version is Jost (pronounced [[No Pronunciation Guide|Youst]]).

* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Major player in the Nereid's plan with Penn.

* [[Yandere]]: A mild version of this for Penn.

 

[[File:soulnomad-endorph 5717.jpg|frame]]

A mysterious man who usurped leadership of a band of thieves and turned them into a Robin Hood-esque band of rogues. {{spoiler|He's actually Walnut from ''[[Phantom Brave]]'', who was sent to Prodesto after he dragged Sulphur through the dimensional gate at the end of the game}}.

 

* [[Berserk Button]]: For the love of God, don't call Euphoria a doll!

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: He uses two pistols in ''Soul Nomad''.

* [[Suicide Attack]]: Psycho Burgundy {{spoiler|which he uses to completely destroy Raksha, though he manages to survive, ''again''}}.

 

[[File:soulcradle25Grunzford 2385.jpg|frame]]

A Redflank who used to live in the same village as Revya. Left in protest against fusing Gig to a human. A grumpy old man who likes to complain about Sepps.

 

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Fights with a gigantic two-handed axe.

* [[The Big Guy]]: He's massive and bulky, as well as very strong.

* [[Team Dad]]: Takes on a fatherly role to most of the party after joining, particularly with Trish and Levin.

 

 

'''Voiced by: [[Kazutaka Ishii]] (JP), [[Doug Erholtz]] (EN)'''

A Draconsage, Dio is supposedly a great mage traveling with the legendary warrior Gestahl but proves to be an incompetent klutz when facing off against Revya's group. Eventually, it's discovered that his real name is Odie (and the "Gestahl" accompanying him is a hotpod farmer named Vangogh) and Dio is his much more powerful brother. He soon befriends Revya's group

 

* [[Boom Stick]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]].

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[With Friends Like These...]]: The part is more than happy to make fun of his helplessness. Even Pinot and Agrippa treat him like a child. Possibly justified since they're about the same age. Good ol' Sluggo.

 

[[File:soulcradle49Tricia 9319.jpg|frame]]

Idealistic but naive noble woman who adventures to help people. Grunzford acts as a mentor to her. She prefers to be called Trish.

 

* [[The Archer]]

* [[The Chick]]

* {{spoiler|[[Sanity Slippage]]: In the Demon Path, she gets raped by Hawthorne, but manages to escape death thanks to Shauna. She becomes increasingly insane and suicidal until her death}}.

 

Two angels that have known Odie for some time.

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: In the Demon Path.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: They're older than Odie despite looking like toddlers.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: {{spoiler|The fun and games in the Demon Path stop once Agrippa is killed with little warning}}.

 

[[File:Layna-Capture 9481.jpg|frame]]

Daughter of Median the Conquer. {{spoiler|Like Revya, she is a World Eater. Saved the world from Gig with assistance from Virtuous. The last party member to join during the Normal Path}}.

 

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: A much gentler example; the Drazilians don't fully trust her due to her looking different from them, but they try to help her rather than insult her.

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: "Median's daughter, Layna, had come into her own and become a true leader." In-game, it's said she's beaten the legendary dragon Sluperam {{spoiler|and almost killed Virtuous, the woman who killed her father}}.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

 

 

An unexpected unlockable character, Lujei escaped her world and starts exploring others, screwing them up in the process. It appears she has a connection to Endorph...

 

* [[Back from the Dead]]: Unclear; she was a ghost in her own game

* [[Berserk Button]]: Being reminded of her death by poisoning sent her into a psychotic fit of rage.

* [[Yandere]]

 

[[File:Christophe-Capture 9004.jpg|frame]]

A businessman the party runs into early in the game. A pretty nice, if pragmatic, guy.

 

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The guy comes in with a small army to help Revya during their fight against Feinne the second time.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: He gets only one scene in the Demon Path, after that, you never hear from him again.

* [[Self-Made Man]]: Is successful due to his honest work ethic.

 

[[File:Galahad-Capture 9539.jpg|frame]]

Chevalier of the forces of Raide, Galahad begins as a minor cowardly threat, but he improves greatly by the end of the events concerning World Eater Feinne.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Break the Haughty]]: In the Demon Path, big time}}.

* [[Character Development]]: Goes from a haughty, corrupt and arrogant man who is only interested in his status within the kingdom to a noble leader and trustworthy ally.

* [[Warmup Boss]]: The first real foe the player faces, Galahad still isn't much of a threat.

 

Queen of the Nereids. Though she can't walk on land, she has Juno be her eyes and ears for her in the outside world.

 

* [[Cast From HP]]: She has a miraculous healing power, but it uses up a bit of her life force.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Only gets one scene in the Demon Path, sadly.

* [[Team Mom]]: For the Nereids. This trope is more literal than usual cases becasue it's implied that she IS all of the Nereids' mother.

 

[[File:Penn-Capture 1262.jpg|frame]]

A human child adopted by the Nereid as part of their plan to repopulate the race.

 

* [[Cheerful Child]]

* [[Childhood Marriage Promise]]: Asks female Revya to marry him in Juno's ending. You don't get any say in it.

* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Is the target of a reverse example. He's bound for a very... interesting life.

 

 

 

The first of the titular World Eaters encountered. Gig says she's his favorite World Eater, as she is the most powerful of the three and the most obedient. She has little will of her own, and stood silently for centuries following Gig's defeat, only attacking in self-defence. {{spoiler|She is actually Resilience, one of the Haephnes gods who committed suicide in order to be reborn among the humans. Drazil warped her into the form of Feinne instead}}.

 

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Like Gig.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Battles against her are always this in the Normal Path, either in your favor or hers. The Demon Path often has you and her on even footing.

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Her normal form of offense.

 

[[File:Thuris-Capture 3970.jpg|frame]]

The second World Eater encountered, Thuris by far is the weakest of the three, focusing more on scheming than direct shows of power. He has the misfortune of being one of the first enemies encountered in either path, and as such, often falls prey to the [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]].

 

* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Subverted; he's ''supposed'' to be one, but the problem for him is Soul Nomad is a [[Gambit Pileup]] from the word go, and he's got at least four other chessmasters he's competing against.

* [[Villain Forgot to Level Grind]]: He actually ''is'' a certifiable threat the first time you see him, but the second encounter is when he gets seriously [[Out-Gambitted]], and since you've already worked out how to beat him the first time, the rematch is much simpler.

 

[[File:Raksha-Capture 3102.jpg|frame]]

The third world eater encountered, Raksha is, like Feinne, inactive initially, but this is due to being sealed in a cursed forest by the Dio family for generations. {{spoiler|In truth, Raksha simply left his hollow shell of a body behind in the forest when he moved his soul into Levin's body instead}}.

 

* [[The Brute]]: The strongest physically of the World Eaters, but not big on brain power. {{spoiler|Well, not quite; he's become one of Soul Nomad's many chessmasters since Gig was sealed}}.

* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]: He spends most of the game disguised as Levin to in a plan to kill anybody he considers a threat to his [[Evil Plan]] (the full details of which aren't stated), consisting of Thuris, Fienne, Layna and Gig. Succeeds in his plan to kill Layna by having Dio trap everyone in a seal so she would come to release them so he could get the jump on her after killing the other two World Eaters}}.

* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Made of [[Playing with Fire|fire]].

 

[[File:soulcradle44Kanan 6017.jpg|frame]]

The leader of the Thurists, the cult that worships Thuris as a god.

 

* [[Cult]]: He leads the Thurists, which is essentially a doomsday cult.

* {{spoiler|[[Devour the Dragon]]: Thuris eventually sacrifices him and the Thurists to power himself up during his boss battle}}.

* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: To the horror of Vitali.

 

[[File:Thorndyke-Capture 3654.jpg|frame]]

Commander of the Knights of Raide. Is a very noble, honorable, but misguided man trying to prevent the group from making things worse with Feinne.

 

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Grand Cordon of Raide, everyone.

* [[Badass Boast]]: "I... I don't understand you. But I cannot let such anarchists live! Your death has arrived!"

* {{spoiler|[[Sanity Slippage]]: In the Demon Path}}.

 

[[File:Lobo-Capture 5908.jpg|frame]]

Male Sepp who is the leader of the Yesterwind, a [[Black Market]] organization that kidnaps and smuggles children.

 

* [[Dirty Coward]]: After Endorph manages to subdue him, he begs Christophe (who he was just holding at knife-point moments ago) to spare him.

{{quote|'''Lobo:''' ''([[Human Shield|Holding Christophe at knifepoint]])'' Hahaha! 'No fair' is my favorite kind.}}

* [[Shoot the Dog]]: Is summarily executed by Cuthbert in order to keep his more noble brother's (Christophe) hands clean.

 

[[File:Cuthbert-Capture 3655.jpg|frame]]

Christophe's younger brother. His initial appearances are few, but it eventually becomes clear he's working with both Lobo and Shauna, and the party is forced to fight him at the Yesterwind stronghold. {{spoiler|He kills Lobo to keep Christophe's hands clean, and then commits suicide out of guilt for his own misdeeds}}.

 

* [[Combat Medic]]: Is from the Medic class.

* [[The Dragon]]: For Lobo.

* [[The Strategist]]: For Shauna during your second encounter with her.

 

[[File:Shauna-Capture 7148.jpg|frame]]

A bandit who unlike Endorph despises the poor and would rather rob them blind and see them suffer. She serves as a recurring antagonist to Revya's group afterwards. {{spoiler|She's actually Trish's long-lost sister, Shari, and in the Normal Path gives up her medicine to save her from Scarlet Iago, eventually succumbing to the disease herself}}.

 

* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Possibly has one of the most brutal backstories in the game.

* [[Team Mom]]/[[Only Sane Man]]: {{spoiler|Serves as this in the Demon Path, at least until Trish commits suicide}}.

 

Shauna's two sidekicks. Generic Pyre Mages.

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: They actually get screentime in the Demon Path. And lines!

* [[Playing with Fire]]: The are Pyre Mages.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Shauna.

 

[[File:Hawthorne-Capture 3992.jpg|frame]]

Merchant with some extensive skeletons in his closet.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Blond Guys Are Evil]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: Used to show how evil he really is}}.

* [[Wife Husbandry]]: {{spoiler|Sick example of it. He raises girls as his daughters until he rapes and murders them when they turn 17}}.

 

[[File:Dio-Capture 4005.jpg|frame]]

The actual Dio and Odie's younger brother. The scion of the prestigious Dio family of sorcerers, he serves as an adviser to Queen Diness of Orviska. His ultimate goal is to kill Layna/Virtuous for humiliating his family generations ago to prove that the Dio line is more powerful and to take over the world for Median. Actively working with the World Eater Raksha.

 

* [[Always Someone Better]]: Layna is his (and his family's) someone better, and he hates her for it. Also, he's this to Odie.

* [[Boom Stick]]: His weapon, since he is a Dracosage.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He was a jerk, make no mistake, but he was doing what he thought was best for the world. Killing Layna is just to satiate his pride though.

 

[[File:Gestahl-Capture 8958.jpg|frame]]

A half-zombified swordsman with unmatched power who has been the personal property, along with Yavis and Parin, of the head of the Dio Family for generations. {{spoiler|He's in fact Lord Median, [[Came Back Wrong]], and actually commands the head of the Dio Family, rather than the other way around. He wishes to regain his true power}}.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: As Median the Conqueror, folks}}.

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]

* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He wants to obtain his old powers in order to save Haephnes. Before that, as Median, he killed the Master of Death in order to live forever and govern Prodesto, which had been a [[Crapsack World]] prior to his reign. [[The Problem with Fighting Death|Unfortunately,]] [[It Got Worse|things didn't turn out so well]]}}...

 

[[File:Drazil-Capture 6024.jpg|frame]]

God of the alternate world and villain of the game. Drazil used Gig and the World Eaters to attempt to usurp the flow of souls from Haephnes and lead them all into his world. He believes his world knows true order and peace, but, in Gig's own words, his world is little more than a graveyard full of dead people who simply haven't stopped moving yet.

 

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Is ''all about this''. Not only does he combine with his Masters of Life and Death to form the final boss, but he draws power from his Drazillian minions as well.

* [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]]

* [[World of Silence]]: His world, where the people all look the same and have no sense of individuality.
