* DeathGlare: Thanks to his Intimidating Glare feat, Heart can wordlessly demoralize creatures without speaking.
* TheHeart: It's in the name. Heart's motivation throughout the campaign is rooted in helping and encouraging his friends. Not to mention that the others are just as likely, if not more so, to step in to protect him in emotionally distressing situations than they are for even resident li'l guy Beetle.
* MeaningfulName: Serves as TheHeart of the party.
* TranquilFury: Heart is one of the most even-keeled members of the party, pretty much always radiating a happy-go-lucky attitude. He is also easily one of the most ruthless, obliterating those who cross his friends with little to no hesitation.

--->'''Ancestry:''' Conrasu
--->'''Class:''' Cleric
Unlike his companions, Rehua carries no ill-will or baggage with him, having come into being only very recently. He is a friendly sort however, and seeks to experience the world of Outset for what it is, even if he sometimes puts his foot in his mouth.

--->'''Ancestry:''' ...Human?
--->'''Class:''' Alchemist
Baldric was previously a respected man of alchemical science in the land of Outset, but the accusation of a crime he didn't commit led to his reputation being demolished, his life's work destroyed, and his good name tarnished so that the corrupt Outset government could have a convenient fall guy. Now a terrorist, he seeks to boil, burn and blow up the elements of corruption in his wake.

[[folder:Tannhauser]]
!!Tannhauser, the Metal Anachronism
--->'''Ancestry:''' Android
--->'''Class:''' Magus
Formerly a slave from the far-flung desert regions; his intellect and aptitude for knowledge saw him receive a rare education and a comfortable position within his master's care. He hated the feeling of being in shackles however, and organized a slave rebellion and revolution, wherein he made his escape to Outset; where an accident saw him go from a happy man to a revolution obsessed anarchist, dedicated to overthrowing oppressive systems by any way necessary.
----
* BornASlave: Tannhauser knows all too well the oppression of the nobility, having experienced it first-hand for the first half of his life.
* FaceOfAThug: Tannhauser's augmented face makes him look rather intimidating, but he has nothing but respect for most of the common people he comes across and is by all accounts heroic.
* {{Foil}}: For Baldric. Both are well educated men, but Tannhauser is a former slave who successfully managed to escape and presumably overthrow his oppressors who wants to build any coalition with his fellow man to oppose the politiky and give power to the people, whereas Baldric was a disgraced alchemist who's need for vengeance supersedes ''any'' thought to what would come after he cleansed the corruption of Outset's nobility.
* MagicKnight: Part and Parcel with his class, with his conflux abilities being specific examples of the two mixing.
* {{Magitek}}: Currently sustains his life, as well as a major component of his spellcasting.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Baldric.
* RebelWithoutACause: Tannhauser is ''obsessed'' with the concept of revolution; something that his friends frequently make light of when he's not immediately in earshot or question the validity of due to his vagueness on whether or not he has a plan beyond the revolution itself.
* WeCanRebuildHim: Had his body reconstructed with advanced metallurgy, which allowed him to survive an unspecified accident that appears to have taken his legs, arms, and most of his face.

!!Oran, the Avian Druid
--->'''Ancestry:''' Strix
--->'''Class:''' Druid
Oran is a native to the mountainous regions around Outset, who always found work while helping sailors and tribesmen near his home, all the while learning from his best friend in the whole world; Gorgamunger the Silver Dragon. One day however, Gorgamunger disappeared, and his attempts to find him with a group of companions ended in disaster. He now seeks to find his lost friend and discover what exactly happened to him.
----
* BreakTheCutie: Oran tries his very hardest to see the best in everybody, but [[spoiler:seeing just what the Perfectites were willing to do with even mere parts of his friend, on top of the ''many'' ruthless and just plain cruel individuals he dealt with in his time in Outset finally begins to wear down on him to the point he begins to experience existential depression.]]
* TheHeart: While Rehua could also fill this, Oran is the one the crew is usually most protective of and is usually the most openly kind and emotional of the group.
