Line 10:
 
* [[A Commander Is You]]
* [[Action Survivor]] - Denam was this at first during the attack on his hometown.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]] - His in-game sprite has blond hair whereas his portrait (especially in the PSP remake) depicts it as either dark brown or auburn.
* {{spoiler|[[Cutscene Incompetence]]: In one possible ending, he is one-shot-killed by a handgun.}}
Line 44:
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]] - He starts out as a naïve idealist, but his views may vary depending on the choices he makes.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]
* [[Young and Inin Charge]] - Though it initially starts off as a publicity stunt to draw in new recruits, Denam along with his friends are made official knights after rescuing the leader of the Resistance. Many NPCs comment on how Denam looks far too young to be in charge as well. {{spoiler|He eventually comes to lead the Resistance after Ronwey (and anyone else with the reputation and rank to lead) ends up dead.}}
 
=== Catiua Pavel (Kachua Powell) {{spoiler|Versalia Oberyth}}[[File:Catiua 5734.jpg|frame]] ===
Line 90:
* {{spoiler|[[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: In the Chaos & Neutral routes.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: He fatally wounds Ravness with a single crossbow shot. Typical crossbows available in Chapter 1 generally do not mortally wound much of anything in one shot.}}
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: Becomes one in the Chaotic route, even having Zapan/Xapan as [[The Dragon]].
* [[Duel Boss]]: In the Chaos route.
* [[Evil Makeover]]: In the Chaos and Neutral routes, in addition to getting a sadistic look on his face, his hair also inexplicably becomes more evil. He is often referred to as "Sadistic Vyce" in this form. In the PSP version, his appearance changes even more drastically, making him look like some kind of beast or demon.
Line 119:
* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: Courtesy of Nybeth, in all routes.}}
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]
* [[Jigsaw Plot]]: Depending on what route you take, he either becomes a nice guy who tries to betray you at the end, is a nice guy regardless, or fights you anyways. Some considered it a letdown that he didn't join in Neutral, where he's always a nice guy.
* [[The Starscream]]: In the Law route
* [[Suicide by Cop]]: Implied in the Chaos route {{spoiler|where it's revealed that he purposely put all the dark-hearted resistance members in the path of Denam, and admits that Denam was right after he is mortally wounded.}}
Line 131:
* {{spoiler|[[Cutscene Incompetence]]: Despite her combat abilities, it takes a single crossbow bolt from Vyce to fatally wound her.}}
* [[Expy]]: She’s Tactics Ogre’s answer to Agrias Oaks of [[Final Fantasy Tactics]] fame in almost every way.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: How do you recruit her?
** Looking her name up on any search engine will give you links to about a dozen different threads involving the very complicated steps the player must take to get her.
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[Noble Fugitive]]: Ravness becomes a fine example of this trope in later chapters (provided if she’s still alive in each hostile encounter).
* [[Ship Tease]]: Her and Canopus.
* [[To Be Lawful Or To Be Good]]: Her dilemma in the Law Route
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
 
Line 151:
 
* [[The Generic Guy]]
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: The only way to get her is to let Donnalto die in the battle.
 
=== Sara Ostvald (Sara) ===
Line 195:
A Galgastani who leads the Knights of Galgastan. He served directly under Balbatos, hunting down the Hierophant's enemies at home and suppressing the Walister.
 
* [[The Dragon]]: To Balbatos/Barbatos.
* [[Dragon His Feet]]: He never quits, even after Balbatos is defeated.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]] : Gives this to Denam on pretty much every route
Line 239:
* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]: Although his defeat ends the war, there is more to be done afterwards.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Or rather, your uncle.}}
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Unlike opposing faction leaders Duke Ronwey and Hierophant Balbatos, Abuna Brantyn is more than capable of defending himself, and wields some of the most powerful spells in the game.
** ''Especially'' in the PSP version where he has more to his arsenal.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
 
Line 279:
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Breast Plate]]: Her PSP remake portrait seems to have her wear one along with her normal yellow clothes.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Appears in chapter one.
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: That sprite of hers make her look fat, thus she's the subject of various fat jokes.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: She may look fine and normal, but you could go out of your way to make her miserable, which includes getting Folcurt killed before he could rescue her, or taking the Neutral route and let her see Cerya die. Or not recruiting Sherri and kill her...
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Is not heard of again in the Law Route. {{spoiler|Not even during the scene when Cerya gets killed by the Dark Knights. Could've had an offscreen death though}}
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]:
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Unlike Cerya, she doesn't like staining her hands with blood to achieve her goal.
 
Line 307:
A Xenobian from the city of Peshaval in Chariom who once captained the Beast Legion of the Kingdom of New Xenobia. He came to Valeria with the Holy Knight Lanselot {{spoiler|to recover the sword Brynhildr at the behest of King Tristan of Xenobia.}} He joined the Walister Resistance after aiding Denam in freeing Duke Ronwey from his imprisonment at Almorica Castle. Since then he has accompanied Denam. He appears young in years, as winged folk live to thrice the age of men.
 
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: He's going to be one of the most powerful characters early game, but unlike a lot of others, he remains useful all the way to the end of the game.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Oh God, where to begin? He has the lightest step on the battlefield out of all your beginning characters, has a good strength stat, possesses the widest range of abilities, and has the greatest weapon versatility short of Lord or Astromancer.
* [[Older Than They Look]]
Line 341:
Second-in-command of the Dark Knights Loslorien, hailing from Gallius, seat of the Holy Lodissian Empire. He is the son of Stratarchis Vogras, who commanded five of the orders of knighthood in Lodis. Loslorien enjoys independence from the Senate thanks to the influence of Vogras. Balxephon is a firm believer in discipline and following orders.
 
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Betrayed the senate of Lodis, killed his father, and blamed it on his brother.
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: Okay, he was already pretty old when he killed his father...it's also implied he was behind his mother's poisoning.
* [[The Unfought]]: In the SNES and [[PS 1]] versions.
 
=== Volaq Windsalf (Volac Winzalf) ===
A Loslorien commander. Little is known of his past, or how he came to join the Dark Knights. His loyalty to Lodis is unquestionable, and he has earned a great deal of respect from those serving under him. A career soldier, he never lets personal matters interfere with his duties.
 
* [[The Unfought]]: Until the PSP Version. There actually wasn't even battle data for him!
 
=== Martym Noumous (Martym Nowmas) ===
Line 364:
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: He disobeys orders just for a chance to clash swords with Lans Hamilton.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Barbas was originally just some axe-crazy knight; however, he was later invited by Tartaros himself to serve as a Temple Commando. Near the end of the game, this buffoon actually wields the power to open up gates to the netherrealm. This essentially makes him the main antagonist, too.
* [[Not So Different]]: claims that Denam seeks the thrill of battle just as much as he.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: Vyce holds this view towards him because...well you probably don't need to guess why.
 
=== Oz Moh Glacius (Oz Mow Gracious) ===
Line 377:
 
* [[An Ice Person]]: Starts with ice magic.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In the PSP version, it's possible to recruit her. Good luck finding out how to do that without a guide, though.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: She makes one of these on the lawful route.
* [[I Hate Past Me]]: Has some...interesting conversations with her past self in the final bonus battle. Before killing her.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Haborym in the PSP Version...interestingly enough.
** {{spoiler|That's because he was her former fiancee}}
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Already proficient in [[Whip It Good|whips]] and [[Heroes Prefer Swords|one handed swords]]. She even has a unique finisher with the former.
Line 387:
A Loslorien commander from Niemaran, a small town in the borderlands of Lodis. He is of Bolmoccan descent. He is last born of the former Nildahme royal house, which once wielded great power throughout the Sea of Lhai region. The Holy Lodissian Empire saw the bountiful lands of the Kingdom of Nildahme as ripe for the taking. They staged an uprising among the enslaved mass from which the ruling house had fattened their purse, then sent in their armies. Fearing for his life, the King hastily abandoned all resistance, and yielded to the Lodissians. Since then the Bolmoccans have endured lives of servitude. He prefers hand-to-hand combat to swordplay, and is a masterful strategist.
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Was originally a mini-boss with an optional story.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Well, chances are, his ethnicity is the [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|equivalent]] of Africa or Jamaica.
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: Stated to prefer fists over swords. He does equip fist-based weaponry though.
* [[Fallen Princess|Fallen Prince]]
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Not that any of the other characters are ''bad'', but in the SNES and [[PS 1]] versions, one of your characters (if they're still there) identifies him as not being a Lodis native (in case the fact that he's black wasn't enough) and actually points out he's a member of the royal family...of a country that Lodis invaded. You don't find this out until the game's within the last hour. This was averted in the PSP version which has him show up earlier, and feeds you this information about him then.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: In the PSP version, he taunts you quite a bit when you fight him.
 
== Necromancers ==
Line 414:
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: She became a necromancer for the sole purpose of helping the dead achieve peace by fulfilling their dying wishes.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Don't lie - ''nobody'' recruited her without consulting a guide.
* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Her first name is the same as that of a minor boss in ''Knight of Lodis'', whose motivation for fighting you was revenge for the death of her parents.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Is so loyal to the Galgastan Kingdom that you need to be in good standing with them to recruit her.
 
=== Reymos Cavour ===
Line 430:
 
* [[Odd Name Out]]: In the first version of the game, she was the only sister to not have a "S" at the start of her name. In the second version of the game, she is still the only sister to lack a soft consonant at the start of her name.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: It's heavily implied she goes off to be with Denam.
 
=== Archiereus Mreuva Phoraena (Moruba Foriner) ===
Line 459:
* [[Blind Weaponmaster]]
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: He is introduced felling two pursuers with one stroke, but he can scarce repeat such a feat with a single foe in the following battle.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: He's blind, but is one of the most powerful units you can recruit. Lanselot even refers to him as the best swordsman in Lodis.
* [[The Exile]]: He was exiled from his homeland after being blinded.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Ozma.
* [[Overrated and Underleveled]]: Averted ''HARD'' - even if he was blind, he has the highest dexterity in the first version of the game (useful for the Petrify spell) and is still one of the best units ever. However, in the second version of the game it's possible for him to be dropped down a couple levels when you recruit him due to the way the leveling system works.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: {{spoiler|Or rather, ours}}.
 
Line 472:
 
* [[Optional Party Member]]
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Archers often deal more damage than his guns do. But in the first version of the game guns do have infinite range, which would be good if you get him out of range.
 
=== Deneb Rove (Deneb Rhobe) ===
Line 506:
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|to Rashidi, who is the original game's Big Bad.}}
* [[Legacy Character]]
* [[Optional Party Member]]: You have to get him in a sidequest.
 
=== Punkin the Bewitched ===
Line 530:
