The main character of Destiny.

He has mixed feelings with his father: at one point, he dislikes him for being too much of a [[Workaholic]]; on the other hand, he respects him well. Eventually, at one testing event, he gets attacked by [[Getter Robo|the Invaders]] and is caught in the Ruina's plan to seal the Earth and destroy it. After learning the Ruina's appearance is indirectly caused by his father, Josh swears to amend his father's wrongs. Depending on the choice, he may {{spoiler|recruit the Ruina general of ice, Glacies}}.

Joshua Radcliff (To be voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura)

The main character of Destiny. Usually called "Josh" for short, he's an ex-soldier, having fought against the Zanscare Empire in the past, but as of now, goes on testing machines with adoptive sister Cliana Rimskaya. He has mixed feelings with his father: at one point, he dislikes him for being too much of a Workaholic; on the other hand, he respects him well. Eventually, at one testing event, he gets attacked by the Invaders and is caught in the Ruina's plan to seal the Earth and destroy it. After learning the Ruina's appearance is indirectly caused by his father, Josh swears to amend his father's wrongs. Depending on the choice, he may recruit the Ruina general of ice, Glacies.

He pilots either the Real Robot Aile Chevalier (Mid-Season Upgrade Geant Chevalier) or the Super Robot Ganador (combines with the Strega into the Forte Gigas). He can pilot the other mecha, but these two are generally accepted as his default.[1] Joshua will appear in the Second Original Generation with his default mecha as the Aile Chevalier.

Tropes associated with Joshua

Cliana Rimskaya (To be voiced by Houko Kuwashima)

Called "Rim" for short. She's a sweet girl who happens to possess TWO personalities: one her gentle self, the other a stoic, battle-ready girl. She gets her dual personality problem as a result of looking through the horrors of war, then gets herself experimented by Josh's father...mercilessly. When the game rolls in, however, Rim has already coped with that. Like Josh, she gets caught in the Ruina's plot and rather than just sitting back idly (as Josh tells her to), she takes on the battlefield, mostly using her stoic self while in the cockpit. She could meet up with the discarded Ruina of Wind Ventus and recruit him.

She usually pilots the Real Robot Blanche Neige (upgraded into the Dea Blanche Neige) or the Super Robot Strega.[2] Cliana will appear in the Second Original Generation with her default mecha as the Blanche Neige.
