====== Main characters ======
 
=== Reid Hershel ===
 
[[File:reid.jpg|frame]]
Line 25:
* [[Idiot Hero]] (To be fair, Reid is by no means a ''complete'' moron; he's just... a little slow.)
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] (How does he manage to go out ''hunting wild animals'' in an outfit that is essentially a sports bra and pyjama pants?)
* [[Meaningful Name]] (The name "Reid" denotes a person with red hair, and can also refer to someone who lives in or near woods -- bothwoods—both of which fit him very well. His surname, "Hershel", is after astronomer William Herschel.)
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] ("My name isn't Feebureel.")
* [[Power Glows]] (Does it ever...)
Line 40:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] (Omelettes!)
 
-----
 
=== Farah Oersted ===
 
[[File:farah.jpg|frame]]
Line 72:
* [[Shorttank]] (In many ways, although she ''does'' wear a big, fluffy dress.)
* [[Stepford Smiler]] (Her outward cheeriness and impulsive actions hide an intense guilt over {{spoiler|her apparent role in the destruction of Rasheans and death of her father ten years ago}} and overall doubt about who she really is.)
* [[Tomboy]] (averted -- Farahaverted—Farah shows many stereotypically "boyish" traits and behaviours such as exuberance, [over]confidence, bluntly speaking her mind and willingness to play rough and fight without holding back... but she does not at all eschew typically "girly" activities either, as she also cares for and about her appearance, cooks and cleans, and favours cute, brightly-coloured clothing.)
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]
 
-----
 
=== Meredy ===
 
[[File:meredy.jpg|frame]]
Line 89:
* [[Catch Phrase]] ("Haina!"/"You bet!". "Waiiru!"/"Hweel!" also shows up rather often.)
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]] (Meredy sounds perfectly coherent and mature in Melnics, but when her speech is translated through [[Applied Phlebotinum|the party's Orz Earrings]], it essentially comes out mostly as awkward and fractured-to-broken -- andbroken—and [[Tastes Like Diabetes|incredibly cute]] -- English—English/Japanese.)
* [[Fictionary]] (Meredy speaks Melnics, the [[Cipher Language]] spoken in her native Celestia.)
* [[Foreign Cuss Word]] ("Baiba!", which literally translates to "Wow!" -- she—she uses it to express emotions ranging from simple surprise to anger to confusion.)
* [[Genius Ditz]] (She piloted a prototype Craymel Craft to Inferia by herself, is apprentice to the greatest Craymel Engineer in ''all of Celestia'', and, judging by the scene in which she and Keele stay up all night together in the library in Imen, she evidently manages to impress even Keele with how knowledgeable she really is.)
* {{spoiler|[[Halfbreed]]}}: {{spoiler|Her father was an Inferian who traveled to Celestia via the Bridge of Light and her mother was a native of Celestia.}}
Line 100:
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]] ([[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Quickie]], of course!)
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] (Possibly, although technically it is more like Obfuscating Childishness -- fansChildishness—fans have theorized that despite her actually being quite intelligent and brave, she {{spoiler|"refused to grow up" after she, at six years old, had to watch her father be brutally assassinated by people her parents had trusted, and her mother essentially go insane with grief and anger as a result.}})
* [[Omi Minami]]
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] ("Meredy"/"Melody")
Line 107:
* [[Verbal Tic]]

=== Keele Zeibel ===
 
[[File:keele.jpg|frame]]
Line 124:
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* {{spoiler|[[Fake Betrayal]]}}
* [[Hollywood Nerd]] (Subverted. Not only {{spoiler|does Keele comprise one-half of Eternia's [[Official Couple]] near the end of the game}}, but people -- apeople—a flirtatious maid at Hotel Inferia, Primula from Tales of Fandom Vol. 1, [[Ambiguously Gay|possibly his friend Zank at Mintche University]] -- clearly—clearly <s>want to stalk</s> find his skinny, pasty countenance attractive. He can therefore also be considered a male example of [[Nerds Are Sexy]].)
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[Jerkass Facade]] (Keele hides his deep insecurity regarding his physical weakness and awkward habits behind one of these.)
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] (Farah notes later in the game that Keele is "a lot kinder than I thought" after he tells Reid and Farah that despite their good intentions, talking to Meredy about what may have happened to her mother, right after {{spoiler|Meredy herself has been possessed briefly by Nereid}}, might only cause her more emotional harm.)
* [[Meaningful Name]] ("Keel" refers both to the similarly-named part of a boat -- Keeleboat—Keele is intensely interested in boats and ships, built models as a child, and even attempted to design and build a boat in the [[So Bad It's Good|anime]] -- and—and to his tendency, to, well, keel [over], making his first name a [[Punny Name]] in both of these respects as well. His surname, "Zeibel", is apparently after physicist Roy Zaibel.)
* [[Nerd]] (...Well, yes.)
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
Line 146:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
 
-----
 
=== Chat ===
 
[[File:chat.jpg|frame]]
Line 159:
* [[Bag of Holding]] (Literally. She uses the things inside as weapons.)
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Cool Ship]] (Chat is captain of the ''Van Eltia'' -- an—an ''extremely'' cool ship, indeed.)
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
Line 176:
* [[Wrench Wench]] (She built her house, the basement, and all the traps in it, by herself.)
 
-----
 
=== Fog/Max ===
 
[[File:fog.jpg|frame]]
Line 201:
* [[Take Over the World]] (And he's not subtle at all about it either. The party doesn't seem overly concerned.)
 
-----
 
=== Rassius Luine Fomalhaut ===
 
[[File:ras.jpg|frame]]
Line 221:
* [[Nice Hat]]
 
-----
 
=== Shizel ===
 
The wife of Balir, {{spoiler|who is [[Dead All Along]], and is thus actually not}} the ruler of Celestia, {{spoiler|and Meredy's mother. Balir's death drives Shizel over the edge, allowing her to become possessed by the evil god Nereid, who uses her to begin the Grand Fall. Like Meredy, she can wield the Dark Aurora.}}
Line 238:
* [[Squishy Wizard]] (She's pretty slow on her feet while you're using her.)
 
-----
 
====== Greater Craymels ======
 
-----
 
=== Undine ===
 
[[File:Undine_4526Undine 4526.jpg|frame]]
 
One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Water. Opposed to Volt, the spirit of Lightning. Undine is the first spirit encountered by the party, and she fights them to test their strength. After being defeated, she agrees to help the group in their quest. Undine is particularly critical, as all the healing spells Keele or Meredy can learn are learned through her.
Line 260:
* [[That One Boss]]
 
-----
 
=== Sylph ===
 
[[File:329px-Sylph_ToE_PSX_1895Sylph ToE PSX 1895.jpg|frame]]
 
One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Wind. Opposed to Gnome, the spirit of Earth. Sylph is encountered by the party not long after Undine, and, just as she does, battles the party to test their abilities. Sylph has few abilities for direct attacks on his own, and instead is best used to link with other Craymels to boost their own attacks, or learn supportive spells.
Line 277:
* [[Razor Wind]]
 
-----
 
=== Efreet ===
 
[[File:307px-Efreet_ToE_PSX_7023Efreet ToE PSX 7023.jpg|frame]]
 
One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Fire. Opposed to Celsius, the spirit of Ice. Efreet reacts violently upon encountering the party, not even giving them time to plead their case to save the world. After defeating him, Undine more or less forces him to help. Befitting his nature, Efreet teaches a number of powerful offensive skills, and his summon is the first that is all about raw damage, with no tricks added in.
Line 294:
* [[Unskilled but Strong]] (Efreet's melee attacks in his boss fight mostly revolve around him smashing you with his fists.)
 
-----
 
=== Rem ===
 
[[File:329px-Rem_8569Rem 8569.jpg|frame]]
 
The Governing Craymel of Inferia, and the spirit of Light. Opposed to Shadow, the spirit of Darkness. After gathering the three Primary Craymels of Inferia, Undine, Sylph and Efreet, they come together to summon Rem, who informs the party of how to reach Celestia. She appears from time to time to offer the party guidance, and ultimately tests their talents at the Regulus Knole, after which, she joins their cause.
