History Characters / CrestOfTheStars

* DistressedDude: Early on he is captured and Lafiel has to rescue him. "I'm at a loss without you around."
* TheFace: Deconstructed with Jinto feels about being forced into this role. Because he seems to get along with everyone (perhaps because he wasn't born into Abh society like everyone else) he has to act as a go-between both inside the Basroil's crew and with other soldiers. This means shouldering everyone's emotional baggage and translating it for one receiving the message.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: Jinto may be a count but the only thing to his name is his position in the Star Force. He comments on this and his quarters on the ship has a sign declaring, "The tiniest noble mansion in the empire."
** Averted in Banner III, [[spoiler: when Martine is finally recaptured and (reluctantly) agrees to stay with the Empire. Jinto still doesn't get to set foot on his home planet again, as this was one of the conditions Martinians required.]]

* TheQuisling: By the time ''Banner I'' opens, he's unflinchingly loyal to the Abh (by way of [[TheDulcineaEffect his loyalty to Lafiel]]) and doesn't really seem to care too much about his old home anymore; this comes back to bite him in the ass later on, as his former friends consider him an example of this trope ''in-show''.
** The rest only consider his father the real traitor (he did surrender the world to the Abh and get a noble title for it), and are convinced Jinto can be "corrected". When that doesn't happen, they're usually none too happy. [[spoiler: At the end of the anime series, they agree to stop rebelling and stay an Abh system under the condition that he, and those who inherit his title over the system, never return.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: Becomes this after arriving at Sufugnof; she gives Jinto a hard time in between moments of affection and vulnerability. She says baka complete with LuminescentBlush while telling him to shut up. Being [[FishOutOfWater out of her comfort zone]] on land probably makes her irritable.

* {{Jerkass}}: Its hard to tell weather Spoor is simply a jerkass or a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. In ''Banner II'' she goes from pitying Lafiel to bullying her Chief of Staff.
** She blurs the line by [[CrossingTheLineTwice crossing it twice]], though her relationship with her executive officers tends to have heavy shades of MistressAndServantBoy (which indicates a JerkWithAHeartOfGold).
* ObfuscatingInsanity: Unlike Nereis and Nefee, Spoor's reputation for being nuts covers her brilliant tactical mind.

* [[spoiler:BackForTheDead: In ''Banner V'', he is present in the Imperial capital Lakfakalle when the Four Nations Alliance invades it. After exchanging some good-humoured banters and words of farewell to Jinto, who's assisting Lafiel to transport important Abh cultural artefacts to a safe place, he stayed behind and organised a last ditch defense with his Abh friends before being killed in action.]]

[[/folder]]

* ForeignQueasine: Cat is considered a delicacy on his homeworld of Midgrat. When the United Mankind sent ambassadors, they repeatedly lectured the locals on democracy and how unhealthy it was to eat cat. The Abh didn't say anything. According to him, this is why Midgrat joined the Abh Empire.

The Imperial Princess of the Empire, and granddaughter of the current Empress, Lafiel has quite a lot of expectations to live up to in her life. She bears them well, and is considered a prime candidate for the next Empress. Her position often makes her feel lonely, so she treasures her relationship with Jinto very closely, considering him her first real friend (and possibly more, as the series goes on).

[[folder:Humankind Empire Abh]]

->Full Name: Abriel Nei Dubresc Dril Abriel Ramage (Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Doriyu Ablïarsar Lamï)

->Noble Title: Count of Hyde
->Military Rank: Supply Officer (''Banner I'' onwards)

->Military Rank: Pilot Trainee (''Crest''), Deca-Commander (''Banner I'' - ''III''), Vice Hecto-Commander (''Banner IV'')

->Military Rank: Second Aviator

One of Lafiel's bridge crew onboard the ''Basroil'', in charge of point-defense and communications. She's very quiet and tends not to speak unless it's necessary.

Chief Engineer aboard the ''Basroil'', and a good friend of Jinto's, perhaps due to the fact that they're both Landers rather than genetic Abh.

The ''Basroil'''s navigator, and the eldest of the crew. Formerly a merchant before joining the Star Forces.

* DoNotGoGentle: Though a patrol ship is much more heavily armed and armored than an assault ship, being outnumbered ten to one left meant she had very little chance of survival. She still manages to take out ''nine'' of the attacking ships before the last lands a killing blow.

->Military Rank: Hecto-Commander

The younger sister of Klowal, and Lafiel's commander in Operation Phantom Flame. She is much more moral than her brother, and doesn't hold a grudge against Lafiel and Jinto for what they did to him.

!!Seelnay (Sernaic)

One of Klowal's maids. She's assigned as Lafiel's personal attendant while she's in Febdash.

The "Prime Minister" of the Central Sector of Lobnas II, representing the largest group of prisoners.

* DirtyCoward: It's clear that he doesn't have the backbone to resist Agnusson, and unrepentantly brown-noses the guy once he conquers the Central Sector.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: When he tries to jump on board Agnusson's "capture the women so we can have children" bandwagon, he has to be reminded that he is neutered.

!!Ku Dorin

Jinto's best friend on Planet Delktoe, where he lived and went to school following his becoming an Abh nobleman. Ku Dorin is the only of Jinto's friends to show up to see him off at the spaceport.

* PutOnABus: He appears for all of one scene, and then the action moves worlds away from him. It's implied that Deltoe was conquered by the United Mankind early in the war, so Jinto couldn't contact him even if he wanted. [[TheBusCameBack He reappears in ''Banner III'' when Jinto returns to his homeworld.]]

* DoNotGoGently: Though a patrol ship is much more heavily armed and armored than an assault ship, being outnumbered ten to one left meant she had very little chance of survival. She still manages to take out ''nine'' of the attacking ships before the last lands a killing blow.

!Crew of the ''Basroil''

* TheQuisling: By the time ''Banner I'' opens, he's unflinchingly loyal to the Abh (by way of [[TheDulcineaEffect his loyalty to Lamhirh]]) and doesn't really seem to care too much about his old home anymore; this comes back to bite him in the ass later on, as his former friends consider him an example of this trope ''in-show''.
** The rest only consider his father the real traitor (He did surrender the world to the Abh and get a noble title for it), and are convinced Ghintec can be "corrected". When that doesn't happen, they're usually none too happy. [[spoiler: At the end of the anime series, they agree to stop rebelling and stay an Abh system under the condition that he, and those who inherit his title over the system, never return.]]

* LadyAndKnight: Technically it would be 'Captain and Supply Officier' but Lafiel and Jinto fulfill the spirit of the trope. A good-hearted princess with a drive to serve her empire.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Abh live much longer than landers, meaning that Lafiel is ''painfully'' aware that she's going to outlive Jinto. Though she still wonders at time if she and Jinto are a different race.

** By Banner of the Stars she's taken to regularly insulting him despite the ''Basroil'''s crew acknowledging him as her 'special friend'.

!Ekuryua

!Samson
->Full Name: Samson Bolj Tirus Tirus (Samsonn Borgh Tiruser Tirusec)

->Military Rank: Senior Navigator

* AmbiguousGender: Male in the novels, female in the anime. This appears to have been due to some miscommunication between the author and the animators.

!Abh Star Forces

* InsultBackfire: Admiral Spoor's chief of staff is appalled at her attitude during combat and calls her Lady of Chaos - a title which she immediately adopts.
* {{Jerkass}}: Its hard to tell weather Spoor is simply a jerkass or a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. In Banner of the Stars II she goes from pitying Lafiel to bullying her Chief of Staff.

->Full Name: Kufadiss Wef Wespeer Sespeer (Cfadiss Üémh Üéspir Séspir)

* OddFriendship: He and Spoor have a rather curious relationship, with him trying desperately to keep things normal and Spoor teasing him endlessly. Still, she specifically selected him as her second, and he seems to enjoy the antics they get up to despite himself.

* GoodParents: He's shown to be a very loving father to his children, though the responsibilities of their position sometimes complicate that.

->Noble Title: King of Balke/Crown Prince

->Noble Title: 27th Empress of the Empire/Countess of Abriel

* CuttingTheKnot: She saw through the Four Nations Alliance's schemes to make an excuse to go to war the Abh, so she decided to cut to the chase and just declare war ''immediately''.

Lafiel's younger brother, who has yet to enter the military academy. Though he loves his sister and has a close relationship with her, he often feels overshadowed by her accomplishments.

* WellDoneSonGuy: He feels great pressure to live up to Lafiel's example. His father claims that Lafiel is special and Duhir should not try to compare himself to her, but that seems to only make it worse.

* HeelFaceTurn: Not that she was ever evil, but she stops working for the Baron when Lafiel appeals to her loyalty to the Empire, over her personal loyalty to her Lord.

* TheSlacker: He gets the job done, but at a more leisurely pace than Kyte would like.

* MistakenForTraitor: When the United Mankind sees her with Jinto and Lafiel, they believe she is planning a rebellion against ''them'', never mind the name of her resistance group.

The Administrative Director of Lobnas II. He claims to represent the prison world to the Abh since he is effectively the head warden of the facility.

* HonestCorporateExecutive: He seems to have been a fairly reasonable leader, and there aren't any accounts of atrocities or abuse against the prisoners under his watch.

* FreudianExcuse: Mentioned to be one reason the women are so fearful of Agnusson: many of them were abused in the past, and know ''exactly'' how the men under Agnusson would treat them.

!!Mackay Agnusson

* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS A note on spelling]]: this character list uses the spellings commonly featured in the English official translations of the material, if available, for simplicity. The authentic Baronh transliterations are listed in parentheses afterward.

->Noble Title: Vicountess of Parnuyu/Imperial Granddaughter
->Military Rank: Trainee (''Crest''), Deca-Commander (''Banner I'' onward)

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Banner of the Stars II.

->Military Rank: Line-Wing Aviator

One of Lafiel's bridge crew onboard the ''Basroil''. She's very quiet and tends not to speak unless it's necessary.

->Military Rank: Chief Engineer

* DeadpanSnarker: He came up with the "Intelligence officers are fit to serve cats!" line listed under [[FunnyMoments/CrestOfTheStars Funny Moments]].

The heir apparent to the Spoor family, one of the most powerful Abh clans outside of the royalty themselves. Rather than retire to rule her territory, she has chosen to continue her service in the military, and while a competent commander, she is something of an eccentric, even by Abh standards.

* {{Jerkass}}: Its hard to tell weather Rear Admiral Spoor is simply a jerkass or a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. In Banner of the Stars II she goes from pitying Lafiel to bullying her Chief of Staff.

->Noble Title: King of Clyuve/Imperial Son
->Military Rank: Admiral (retired, reinstated as of ''Banner II'')

->Noble Title: King of Balke/Imperial Prince

!Duhir

Jinto's best friend on Planet Deltoe, where he lived and went to school following his becoming an Abh nobleman. Ku Dorin is the only of Jinto's friends to show up to see him off at the spaceport.

* LastNameBasis: How he and Jinto address each other. Apparently customary on Deltoe.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He appears for all of one scene, and then the action moves worlds away from him. It's implied that Deltoe was conquered by the United Mankind early in the war, so Jinto couldn't contact him even if he wanted.

->Full Name: Spoor Aron Sekpadao Letopanyu Beneej (Spaurh Aronn Saicspath Nimh Laitpanr Painaich)
->Noble Title: Grand Duchess of Beneej

->Full Name: Abriel Nei Debrusc Lals Clyuve Debeusec (Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Larth Kryb Dubeusec)

* UndyingLoyalty: She had it for Klowal at first, but she soon switches to Lafiel. As a reward for helping her against Klowal, Lafiel promises to protect her and take her in as a vassal of the Clyune family, which Seelnay sees as a major step up (from a vassal of a lowly Baron to a vassal of the Imperial Family itself).

->Full Name: Atosuryua Shu Atos Ryuf Febdash Roy (Atosryac Ssynec Atosr Lymh Feubdach Loïc)

->Full Name: Spoor Aron Secpado Letopanyu (Spaurh Aronn Saicspath Nimh Laitpanr Painaich)

->Full Name: Abriel Nei Lamsar Lals Balcor Dusanyu (Ablïarsec Néïc Lamsar Larth Barcœr Dusanh)
->Noble Title: King of Balcor/Imperial Heir

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When he conquers the Aptic system, he says he will not demand a surrender from the planet until after the war's conclusion. When questioned on this by his aide, he responds that the United Mankind looks poorly on worlds that surrender to the Abh, so if the United Mankind reconquers Aptic at some point in the future, this planet will be spared any retaliation from them.

->Full Name: Abriel Nei Dubresc Ramage (Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Lamï)
->Noble Title: 27th Empress of the Empire

!Jinto

!Lafiel

->Noble Title: Vicountess of Parnuyu

* {{Tsundere}}: Becomes this after arriving at Sfagnof; she gives Jinto a hard time in between moments of affection and vulnerability. She says baka complete with LuminescentBlush while telling him to shut up. Being [[FishOutOfWater out of her comfort zone]] on land probably makes her irritable.
** By Banner of the Stars she's taken to regularly insulting him despite the Basroil's crew acknowledging him as her 'special friend'.

!Lexshue
->Full Name: Lexshue Wef Lober Plakia (Laicch Üémh Laubér Placïac)
->Military Rank: Hecto-Commander

Captain of the ''Gosroth'', and among the first Abh that Jinto meets as he journeys to their capital. She is a very kind person who cares greatly for her crew, but is capable of an iron will when the situation calls for it. She is also Lafiel's biological mother.

* TheGoodCaptain: Even calls her subordinates "my beloved crew".
* HeroicSacrifice: She knew she didn't have much chance of surviving her last fight, but there was no real way to avoid it.


!Klowal
->Full Name: Atosuryua Shu Atos Ryuf Febdash Klowal (Atosryac Ssynec Atosr Lymh Feubdach Clüarh)
->Noble Title: Baron of Febdash

The young Baron of the poor and isolated Febdash territory. Lafiel and Jinto come to him in need of a refuel on their way to Sufugnof, but he has other plans in store...

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:After his execution by Lafiel, nobody, not even his own family, really cares all that much about his death.]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: So far, the only true example we've seen among the Abh.
* FantasticRacism: He hates normal humans, to the point that he locks up his own father simply because he is an unaltered human.

!Atosuryua
->Full Name: Atosuryua Shu Atos Ryuf Febdash Roy (Atosryac Ssynec Atosr Lymh Feubdach Loïc)
->Noble Title: Baroness of Febdash

The younger sister of Klowal, and Lafiel's commander in Operation Phantom Flame. She is much more moral than her brother, and doesn't hold a grudge against Lafiel and Jinto for what they did to him.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's aware of what happened between her brother and Lafiel, but chooses not to have a grudge over it. She didn't particularly like her brother anyway. [[spoiler:Her main problem with what happened is that, now that he's dead, she has to become the new Baroness, and she really would rather have avoided that particular responsibility.]]

!Trife

!Spoor

!Dubresc
->Full Name: Abriel Nei Debrusc Lals Dubyus (Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Larth Dubeusec)
->Noble Title: King of Dubyus
->Military Rank: Admiral (retired, reinstated as of ''Banner II'')

Lafiel's father, and the direct son of the current Empress. Currently second-in-line for the throne.

!Dusanyu
->Full Name: Abriel Nei Lamsar Lals Barcor Dusanyu (Ablïarsec Néïc Lamsar Larth Barcœr Dusanh)
->Noble Title: King of Barcor

* UnexpectedSuccessor: Due to the way Abh succession works, he is the current heir despite not being directly related to the current Imperial family, due to his success.


!Ekuryua
->Full Name: Ekuryua Wef Triese Naul (Aicryac Üémh Tlyzr Naurh)
->Military Rank: Line-Wing Aviator

Lafiel's communications officer onboard the ''Basroil''. She's very quiet and tends not to speak unless it's necessary.

* BloodKnight: Shows a trace of this when piloting; in ''Banner III'', her eyes positively light up when she's doing a [[HighSpeedMissileDodge High Speed Laser Dodge]].
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Her driving is so bad that she induces motion sickness in a shuttle full of Abh. [[BeyondTheImpossible Abh are genetically engineered to fly in ships without inertia dampening]].

!Samson
->Full Name: Samson Bolj Tirus Tirus (Samsonn Borgh Tiruser Tirusec)
->Military Rank: Chief Engineer

Chief Engineer aboard the ''Basroil'', and a good friend of Jinto's, perhaps due to the fact that they're both Landers rather than genetic Abh.

* ForeignQueasine: Cat is considered a delicacy on his homeworld of Midgrat. When the United Mankind sent ambassadors, they repeatedly lectured the locals on democracy and how unhealthy it was to eat cat. The Abh didn't say anything. According to him, this is why Midgrat joined the Abh Empire.
* MaleGaze: Present during a conversation between Jinto, Ekuryua and him, where he's talking about his experiences as a mustang (enlisted man promoted to officer). It suggests that part of the reason he's been in the Star Forces for 20 years is because of the pretty girls in latex space suits.


!The Bebaus Brothers (Nereis and Nefee)
->Full Names: Bebaus Alon Nerem Yalulug Nereis and Nefee (Bibauth Aronn Nérémr Ïarlucec Nélaith and Néféc)
->Noble Title: Prince (territory unknown)
->Military Rank: Admiral (Nereis), Chief of Staff (Nefee)

Twin brothers who run a fleet. Twins are highly unusual in Abh society, due to genetic engineering, and their family is unfortunately known for insanity.

* NotHelpingYourCase: Nereis and Nefee are part of a family known for its spectacular insanity. They claim they want to redeem their family's reputation, but they're not doing a very good job of it.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The Bebaus family is famous for two things (other then being a root family): Giving birth to geniuses and giving birth to lunatics. The culture of the Empire says one cannot have the former without the latter.

!Jinto Lin (Shu Rock Yalulug Dril Hydal)

!Lafiel Abriel (Nei Debrusc Borl Paryun)

!Spoor Aron Sekpadao Letopanyu Peneju

!Ekuryua

!The Bibauth family

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The Bibauth family is famous for two things (other then being a root family): Giving birth to geniuses and giving birth to lunatics. The culture of the Empire says one cannot have the former without the latter.

* AchievementsInIgnorance - Jinto succeeds in befriending Lafiel, the 3rd in line for the Imperial throne, by asking her for her name, which no one had ever done before. The fact that members of the Royal Family all have pointy ears was such common knowledge nobody thought to inform Jinto about this little detail while he was learning to be a 'Proper Abh'. Thus when meeting Lafiel he was unaware that she was supposed to be a regal unapproachable individual, and thus spoke to her like he would anyone else.

* FirstNameBasis - "You shall call me 'Lafiel'!"

* MayflyDecemberRomance - Not so surprisingly, Jinto is the one that acknowledges this the most as Lafiel still wonders at time if she and Jinto are a different race while Jinto is ALWAYS conscience of the difference.
* TheQuisling - By the time ''Banner I'' opens, he's unflinchingly loyal to the Abh (by way of [[TheDulcineaEffect his loyalty to Lamhirh]]) and doesn't really seem to care too much about his old home anymore; this comes back to bite him in the ass later on, as his former friends consider him an example of this trope ''in-show''.

* UndyingLoyalty. Jinto for Lafiel. Yes, [[ShipTease it sounds like a marriage vow.]]

* AirJousting - In a flashback Lafiel is shown Air Jousting in a zero G chamber when she was still attending the Abh Military Academy. She was apparently very good at it.

* TheCaptain - Starting with Banner I when she takes command of the ''Basroil''. Part of her CharacterDevelopment is growing into this.
* TheChainsOfCommanding - Banner of the Stars II.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses - Lafiel is a princess. Her military superiors exploit this by ordering her on diplomatic missions which deny her the martial glory she craves.

* LadyAndKnight: Technically it would be 'Captain and Supply Officier' but Lafiel and Jinto fullfil the spirit of the trope. A good-hearted princess with a drive to serve her empire.
* MayflyDecemberRomance - Abh live much longer than landers, meaning that Lafiel is ''painfully'' aware that she's going to outlive Jinto. Though she still wonders at time if she and Jinto are a different race.

* SheCleansUpNicely - The impression of the crew of the ''Basroil'', upon seeing Lafiel elegantly attired as per page image for a private dinner. She got this reaction from Jinto ''twice''. First when she walked out and second when taking off her shawl.

* {{Jerkass}} - Its hard to tell weather Rear Admiral Spoor is simply a jerkass or a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. In Banner of the Stars II she goes from pitying Lafiel to bullying her Chief of Staff.

* InsultBackfire - Admiral Spoor's chief of staff is appalled at her attitude during combat and calls her Lady of Chaos - a title which she immediately adopts.
* ObfuscatingInsanity - Unlike Nereis and Nefee, Spoor's reputation for being nuts covers her brilliant tactical mind.
* ShootTheHostage - In the first season an alliance ship tries to use several Abh royalty as hostages: Spoor says they should feel fortunate to die in the presence of Abh nobility.
* SociopathicHero -She ain't called "the Lady of Chaos" for nothing. She finds anything less than a life-or-death struggle 'boring' and when she captured an enemy vessel she gave the crew [[MortonsFork the choice between execution or 1 year's rations for 100 year journey home through normal space.]]
* UnfortunateNames - Spoor. Get a dictionary and laugh. It's because of [[SpellMyNameWithAnS lame phonetic transcription]], because the [[ConLang correct form of her name]] in Latin script is Spaurh.

* BloodKnight - Shows a trace of this when piloting; in ''Banner III'', her eyes positively light up when she's doing a [[HighSpeedMissileDodge High Speed Laser Dodge]].
* DrivesLikeCrazy - Her driving is so bad that she induces motion sickness in a shuttle full of Abh. [[BeyondTheImpossible Abh are genetically engineered to fly in ships without inertia dampening]].

* ForeignQueasine - Cat is considered a delicacy on his homeworld of Midgrat. When the United Mankind sent ambassadors, they repeatedly lectured the locals on democracy and how unhealthy it was to eat cat. The Abh didn't say anything. According to him, this is why Midgrat joined the Abh Empire.

* NotHelpingYourCase - Nereis and Nefee are part of a family known for its spectacular insanity. They claim they want to redeem their family's reputation, but they're not doing a very good job of it.

** Averted in Banner III, [[spoiler: when Martine is finally recaptured and (reluctantly) agrees to stay with the Empire. Jinto still doesn't get to set foot on his home planet again, as this was one of the conditions Martinians required.]]* LadyAndKnight: Technically it would be 'Captain and Supply Officier' but Lafiel and Jinto fullfil the spirit of the trope. He takes care of and otherwise protects her, while she is a good-hearted princess with a drive to serve her empire. On other hand, since Jinto is arguably TheQuisling, his fellow humans see them as the darker variety.

* DistressedDude: Early on. Lafiel has to rescue him. "I'm at a loss without you around."

* {{Jerkass}} OR JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* TheChainsOfCommanding - Banner of the Stars II

* GoGetterGirl
* SilkHidingSteel: Lafiel, polite and proper even when threatening someone. By her strength of will and cleverness, [[spoiler: she recruited Klowal's pet-like maids into a rebellion against him]]. As for 'being in charge' she may be a princess but she's still a 'pilot trainee' and has to obey her superiors.
* {{Tsundere}}: Not at first, but Lafiel becomes this after arriving at Sfagnof; she gives Jinto a hard time in between moments of affection and vulnerability. She says baka complete with LuminescentBlush while telling him to shut up. Being [[FishOutOfWater out of her comfort zone]] on land probably makes her irritable.
