[[File:cless.jpg|frame]]

Cless is an archetypical RPG hero- he's a [[Hot-Blooded]], courageous, [[Book Dumb]], and slightly oblivious country boy with a sword who gets sucked into an adventure he didn't want. He loves justice, and is motivated by wanting to avenge his [[Doomed Hometown]].

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: His parents have Hispanic names, Miguel and Maria. He does not.

* [[Bishonen]]

* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: The Eternal Sword

[[File:mint.jpg|frame]]

A [[Mysterious Waif]] Cless meets after being captured and thrown in jail. He helps her escape and find the one person who can help them defeat Dhaos. She is an orphan from a long line of healers with a deep connection to the legendary Unicorn.

* [[The Chick]]

* [[Cool Hat]]: Given to her by her mom.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: She even gets it as a title ("Perfect Lady" in English).

[[File:klarth.jpg|frame]]

Shortly after arriving in the past, Cless and Mint seek out Klarth, a researcher who is trying to find a way for humans to use magic. On the way, he ended up rediscovering the lost art of summoning, and is making an effort to resurrect it, [[They Called Me Mad|much to the scorn of his colleagues]]. Part [[Mad Scientist]], part [[Witch Doctor]], part [[Mr. Exposition]], and all [[Cool Old Guy]], he acts aloof and vain, but he truly does care for the crazy kids dragging him all over the world. His weapon is a book.

* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Subverted. It's clear to everybody that he has long silver hair and there's nothing to suggest it's a wig, but Arche suggests it anyway.

* [[Biseinen]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

[[File:arche.jpg|frame]]

A half-elf from the past, she joins the party because they need someone who can use magic to defeat Dhaos. She is usually immature and easygoing, and a bit of a perv, but she's a powerful addition to the team, and essential at lightening the mood. Her weapon of choice is the flying broom that she rides on.

* [[Action Girl]]: Hey, [[Black Magician Girl]]s are Action Girls too!

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

[[File:chester.jpg|frame]]

Cless's childhood friend, an orphan who lost his only family when their [[Doomed Hometown]] was destroyed by the army trying to resurrect Dhaos. He's the best archer in town... Or at least, he was, before the town burned down. He's ''very'' [[Hot-Blooded]].

* [[The Archer]]: [[Subverted]], since he's [[Hot-Blooded]].

** Also revealed to have noticeable muscles in the hot springs scene, which the sword wielding hero, Cless, admires.

* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Little Sister]]: Chester takes it even further than Cless ever did.

[[File:suzu.jpg|frame]]

Suzu is a ten-year-old ninja girl from the future. In the PSX remake and beyond, the party meets her in Volt's Temple. (In the SNES version, you met her when ([[Guide Dang It|if]]) you managed to find the hidden ninja village, Japoni.) She's next in line for the position of chief of Japoni, since her parents are [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] and ran off. In the PSX remake and beyond, she will join your party after a brief sidequest involving fighting in the Euclid coliseum and finding Japoni. She fights with a nintou.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Was totally unplayble and had a very plain sprite in the original game.

* [[Token Mini-Moe]]

[[File:dhaos.jpg|frame]]

The "Demon Lord," a man from another world who is wreaking havoc on the world and needs to be stopped. Later, it's revealed that {{spoiler|his homeworld was dying, and he came to Aselia to prevent the people from destroying their Mana Tree, and get a seed from it so that he can save his homeworld}}. He has the ability to travel through time.

* [[Beam Spam]]: "DHAOS LASER!!!"

* [[Belated Backstory]]: It wasn't until ''Narikiri Dungeon'' that his whole schtick was finally explained.

* {{spoiler|[[The Wise Prince|The Wise King]]: Until he came to Aselia...}}
