Suikoden V/Characters/Rune Masters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Rune Masters

Zerase

Eresh

  • Child Mage: In appearance - but this could be deceptive if she is (as is implied) of the same group as Jeane.
  • Death Is Cheap: If she's killed in a war battle, Jeane hints that she will eventually come back, although she never does during the game.
  • Magic Wand: She wields the Ner-Gal staff.
  • Miko: She wears the robes of the Nagarean clergy.
  • Mysterious Past: Like Zerase, she is also aquainted with Jeane, who refers to Eresh as her "comrade".
  • Mysterious Waif: Canon-wise, she is potentially even more powerful than the legendary Jeane, as only she can penetrate the very lower levels of the ancient Armes ruins in the Big Hole.
  • No Mouth: The lower half of her face is obscured by her veil.
  • Robe and Wizard Hat
  • Strange Syntax Speaker: She has a peculiar manner of speech.

Jeane

Viki

  • The Ditz
  • Dojikko: Poor clumsy Viki!
  • Magical Girl Warrior: From Suikoden 2 onwards, she can be added to the active party. She has excellent magic stats, combined with the Blinking Rune's unique magic attacks.
  • Moe
  • Mysterious Past: No one really knows where she came from. Or perhaps as importantly, when.
  • Nurse Jenny: Like Jeane, she turns up in every single Suikoden game, regardless of space/time differences. Unlike Jeane, however, this is explained by her powers of teleportation.
  • Purity Personified
  • Recurring Character
  • Running Gag: She never gets to finish the banquet meals after the games.
  • Temporal Paradox: Especially evident in 5 - Her odd teleportation patterns cause confusion for those she comes across - for example, Lorelai, having first met Viki in the Twilight Forest in Falena, is surprised when Viki does not recognize her later when fighting together in the Sun Rune War, failing to understand that her first meeting with Viki was the result of Viki teleporting from several years in the future - as a result, at that time, she had never seen Lorelai before in her life.
  • Warp Whistle: Her speciality - as bearer of the Blinking Rune, she can (most of the time, see below) transport the hero and his party to any destination previously visited.
    • Teleporter Accident: Her abilities can be hit and miss, occasionally landing the characters in completely random locations. Some of which can only be reached by one of Viki's errors.
    • Malfunction Malady: The above teleport mistakes are accompanied with a little sneeze!
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: Despite her clutziness, she's very keen to help out.
  • Woman in White
