29[[folder:The Farplane]]
30
31!King Mog
32The ruler of the Farplane, and thus the Moogles inside of it. Wants random things from other dimensions, which he exchanges for useful equipment.
33----
34* ArtifactCollectionAgency: Enjoys collecting artifacts from across the world.
35
36!Sheratan
37One of the guardians of the twelve legendary weapons. This woman was a former genius strategist, and of royal blood. Her brother, the king, who feared her genius, plotted to poison her, but she wound up discovering the plot. She later raises an army of her own, killing her brother and his wife. Fearing hurting others, she eats a cursed fruit, transforms into a tree, and seals her emotions to keep her sanity. Eventually, she is sealed away as the protector of the Holy Wand.
38----
39* EldritchAbomination: Takes the form of a tree woman, much like Exdeath.
40* HybridMonster: Is half-human, half-tree. Her fruits are embodiments of her anger and sorrow.
41* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The cause of her insanity, however well-deserved it may be.
42* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: The love for her brother eventually fuels this.
43* YouCantFightFate: Before meeting [[spoiler: Raegen and Rain]] she was a believer in letting destiny take her where it pleased. She later decides to take things into her own hands [[spoiler:with sadly tragic results.]]
44
45[[/folder]]
46
47
48[[folder:Other Villains]]
49!Dr. Lazarov
50A mad scientist the party first encounters in Kolobos Island. He had been gathering dead bodies to experiment on in order to create a deadly weapon for Veritas of the Dark.
51----
52* BackFromTheDead: Pulls this off twice - the first [[UnexplainedRecovery without any justification]] in "A World United," the second during "Unbound Offensive," somehow forcing himself back to life after he felt the raw hatred towards existence that Vlad had for all of existence.
53* TheBusCameBack:
54** He returns after a two-island gap in the second half of Zoldaad. He also returns in the "The Phantom Blueprint" event, which was a second-season flashback to events prior to Lid meeting with Rain and Lasswell.
55** He's actually BackFromTheDead in the Charlotte story event, "A World United". [[spoiler:And apparently Charlotte sends him back to the dead.]]
56** Yet again a couple years later during the fifth anniversary "Unbound Offensive" event, where he at least explains how he's still around. Given that, at the end, he's taken prisoner instead of executed (not that killing him sticks, as seen above), he's almost certain to come back yet again.
57* {{Determinator}}: Despite being at death's door at the end of "A World United," he manages to hold on to life when he hears the echoes of Vlad's determination to destroy everything. Moog even calls him "relentless" upon this reveal.
58* EvilFormerFriend: Revealed near the end of "The Phantom Blueprint" to have formerly worked with Heltich in researching power that can overwhelm and destroy minds. However, Heltich directed his research towards trying to help people cope with and manage such power, while Lazarov researched towards using it for his own ends.
59* ImmortalitySeeker: [[spoiler:His main motivation for experimenting with the dead.]]
60* ItsAllAboutMe: He's only with the Sworn Six to further his research, and he's more than willing to ditch them if it suits his purposes.
61* {{Jerkass}}: The fact that he kills Rain's airship crew for experimentation is pretty evil, but the fact that he drags their corpses across an archipelago just to use those corpses as zombies to attack Rain shows a level of pettiness that's hard to ignore.
62* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Similar to the above, the Sworn Six only tolerated Lazarov as long as he didn't get in their way. When his actions nearly caused the destruction of the Invincible, Heavens jumps in and kills him to prevent his escape after Rain catches up with him.]]
63* MadScientist: He's got enough brains to basically invent multiple new types of monster, and he's making progress in his search for immortality. Morality, though, is completely alien to him.
64* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:He is the main reason that the Zoldaad Empire is the way it currently is, and why the Invincible took flight.]]
65* MeaningfulName: It's not exactly a coincidence that a villain that's come back from the dead multiple times has a name close to "Lazarus."
66* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name has been spelled in 3 different ways. First, as "Lasorov", a second time as "Lazorov", and the current spelling of "Lazarov".
67* UnexplainedRecovery: Charlotte notes when he appears in "A World United" that it was reported that he was killed. He confirms this, but says he's back without explaining as to how (though his research into bioaugmentation and the undead are possible explanations).
68
69!Emperor Sozhe
70[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sozhe_1.png]]
71 [[caption-width-right:350:]]
72
73The current emperor of Zoldaad, who seeks a strong militaristic expansion and curbs opposition with violent repression. [[spoiler:It's revealed that this attitude is caused by Lazarov's brainwashing, which exacerbates the worst traits of his victims.]]
74----
75* BadassFamily: He's a very strong and resilient ruler, and his two sons (Shera and [[spoiler: Jake]]) are possible useful recruits as well.
76* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Is being mind controlled by Lazarov.]]
77* DyingAsYourself: When he is killed, he gets some last words with his son in hopes of making the kingdom better than he could.
78* TheEmperor: The supreme political and military leader of Zoldaad at the beginning of the story, which is said to be among the most powerful and aggressive nations in the world all the way back in Grandshelt.
79* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In his last moments, he admits that his lust for power was his desire to do well for his country at its heart, but he lost sight of that somewhere along the way.
80* PlayingWithFire: As a vision, he can use fire magic, can add fire elemental damage to his attacks, can lower fire resistance in his foes, and can boost fire resistance for the party. In addition, one of the effects of his Trust Master reward is to boost fire resistance.
81* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Was mostly killed and controlled by Dr. Lazarov for the man's experiments. He does return to his senses after he is defeated however.]]
82* PlayingWithFire: As suitable for the ruler of the nation hosting the Fire Crystal, he has several moves that do Fire damage and can drop enemy Fire resistance.
83* PunnyName: Possibly not even ''intended'', but it's there. He's always called Emperor in-game, but another word for Emperor is "Kaiser". Which would make him, y'know, [[Film/TheUsualSuspects Kaiser Sozhe]].
84* StoneWall: While a bit more capable of dishing out damage than other Stone Walls in the game, Sozhe is at his best tanking hits for everyone.
85
86!Chaotic Darkness
87[[spoiler: The embodiment of humanity's evil. It is summoned as a vision by Sol via the Land of the Crystals, and desires the destruction of both Lapis and Paladia.]]
88----
89* DarkIsEvil: This is the element it takes.
90* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: It is humanity's natural evil, so of course it would look like this.]]
91* HybridMonster: [[spoiler: Its true form has elements of no less than eight other monsters from the game.]]
92* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler: "Hate ... Hate ... Hate ... Die ... Die ... Die ... Destroy ... Destroy ... Destroy"]]
93* TheBattleDidntCount: [[spoiler:It just changes shape from a giant skull with hands to [[HybridMonster an amalgamation of various monsters]] when it is first defeated.]]
94* WalkingSpoiler: Any mention of it basically spoils the ending to Season 1 of the game's story.
95[[/folder]]
96
97[[folder:Original Summons]]
98In addition to the characters above and all of the crossover characters, there are a large number of playable characters, summonable as Visions, who are completely unique to the setting of ''Brave Exvius'', and are detailed below. While there are many directly story-relevant characters who can be summoned as well, tropes for them should go in their entries above.
99
100!Tropes associated with all of them:
101----
102* LateArrivalSpoiler: Some of the summons are characters that Rain's party will encounter, like Luka, Charlotte and [[spoiler: Dark Fina]].
103* OriginalGeneration: They are the original characters of ''Brave Exvius''.
104* PosthumousCharacter: Most of them are heroes/villains in the history of the world of ''Brave Exvius''. [[spoiler:A decent number of the later ones are still alive, though.]]
105* RegionalBonus: As noted on the main page, some of these folks are exclusive to the Global version. Some of them even seem to have event or story hooks.
106* WalkingSpoiler: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] - some of the original summons that are also part of the story do explicitly mention certain plotline details (including the deaths of the characters in question [[spoiler: Elle in particular is a bad offender]]), but some [[spoiler: such as Shera]] avoid revealing major plot points.
107
108!Artemios
109A self-trained archer whose skill at hunting led others to hiring him as a hitman. And he became exceptionally good at it.
110----
111* ColdSniper: As he was hired for more and more jobs, he became more jaded and emotionally distant.
112* GlassCannon: He can dish out plenty of damage (in fact, when the game first launched, he was in the running for most powerful non-magic user), but he has almost no durability.
113* GoneHorriblyRight: Whichever nameless person who had the bright idea to start hiring Artemios for assassination jobs wanted to see if he'd be just as good at hunting people as he was hunting animals. Not only was he just as good, but he grew to like it way too much.
114* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: At first, taking assassination jobs was just for money, but he soon grew to love killing people and started doing it for fun.
115* SerialKiller: By the end, Artemios was just hunting people for sport.
116* SpamAttack: He was one of the first characters to get the Barrage attack, and still one of the easiest who learn it to acquire.
117* SoLastSeason: Perhaps poster child for this within the game. Once upon a time, he was one of the most formidable units that could be fielded. Between having a nigh-useless [[LevelUpAtIntimacy5 Trust Master Reward]], the sheer number of units that manage to beat him in raw stats, abilities learned, and equipment worn all at once, and the fact that he was completely ignored by both ability awakening and the launch of six-star levels of power, Artemios would only have use in a new player's team if nothing better has been summoned yet.
118
119!Medius
120A gunner who creates powerful technology to combat brute force and magic, but is seen as a threat to people.
121----
122* AdaptationalBadass: He can become 6 Star unit in the Global version despite being stuck as 5 Star in Japanese version.
123* CriticalHitClass: Has a passive ability that increases CriticalHit chances.
124* DrawAggro: He gains the ability to Draw Attacks - but given [[GlassCannon his low hit points and defenses]], it's more of a drawback than anything else.
125* DualWielding: A zig-zagged version, it seems to be the case in his sprite, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation but he can't learn it naturally]] but then played straight by awakening his Gun Master ability.
126* ExperienceBooster: His Trust Master reward doubles the experience of whoever has it equipped.
127* GadgeteerGenius: He creates his own weapon and is seen as a genius, [[TooPowerfulToLive but it also causes his downfall]].
128* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: See that note under TooPowerfulToLive? That's why he gets DrawAggro - he's a marked man by ''everyone'', even monsters, because of his discovery of guns.
129* GlassCannon: His defense and HP are rather low, but he has really high attack power when equipped with a gun.
130* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "The Phantom Blueprint" reveals that this was Medius' fate, being shot to death by someone using one of his own guns. It's even called "The Tragedy of Medius" in the game's present day.
131* TooPowerfulToLive: His invention is considered way ahead of his time, so he is seen as a threat and a fugitive.
132
133!Chizuru
134An honorable Samurai who has great pride and was devoted to her master. She was the mother of Hayate and Miyuki, and the wife of Jiraiya.
135----
136* AllThereInTheManual: In the Global version, while it's easy to infer (via the unit descriptions at higher-level awakenings) that she's the mother of Hayate and Miyuki (and the wife of Jiraiya), it's only explicitly stated in the limited-time Way of the Warrior story event.
137* BadassFamily: She's the wife of a 5-star base summon, mother of two others powerful enough to become summons themselves, and both of her children can max out at six stars with powerful equipment as Trust Master rewards in their own right. Further, one of her distant descendants (Yuri) is another 6-star max ninja with a decent Trust Master Reward.
138* GlassCannon: Her HP and defence are low for a [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6 Star Unit]], but her attack is very high.
139* HerdHittingAttack: Her ultimate move is Phantom Shadow, which not only hits every foe on screen and chains, but ignores some of the targets' defense.
140* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her main weapon. Her Trust Master award exaggerates it; anyone equipped with it and a katana gets a huge boost to their attack.
141%%* {{Samurai}}
142* {{Seppuku}}: [[spoiler:Her 6* awakening reveals that after Miyuki was led astray, Chizuru decided to take her own life by committing seppuku.]] [[spoiler:Way of the Warrior story event shows Hayate to be the one who done the final blow.]]
143* SpamAttack: Learns Barrage, which is her strongest attack option prior to awakening to six-star status.
144* StatusEffects: She can paralyze foes with Blade Bash, and she's one of the exceedingly few characters that can use Stop with Dismissal - as a bonus, she's one of the very few who can do it outside of a LimitBreak.
145* TheStoic: She's very measured with everyone, even her own family. She's even able to [[spoiler: discuss not only committing {{Seppuku}}, but making her own son act as her second]] without hesitation or much emotion.
146* UndyingLoyalty: She's like this to her master.
147
148
149
150!Ruggles
151[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruggles_1.png]]
152 [[caption-width-right:350:]]
153
154A dwarf who was lost from his homeland after the sundering of Lapis. He was later rescued, dying of starvation, by Lunera. He later befriended the elven couple, and began building an underground passage for them to be able to traverse the now hostile lands of Gronoa.
155----
156* {{Determinator}}: Ruggles refuses to give up on anything, fighting against even nature itself in order to help out the people he cares about. [[spoiler: Even after both Lunera and Bran succumb to the miasma, he continues to build tunnels in miasma-free areas as well as tend a tree that breaks down miasma in their memory.]]
157* DownerEnding: Ruggles loses two of the only people that he ever cared about, and he ended up leaving Gronoa because the memory of the two was too painful for him to dwell upon. And the other Dwarves also rejected him [[FantasticRacism for cooperating with elves]]. Urgh.
158* DueToTheDead: While not terribly elaborate or even well made, Ruggles left a tribute - in Elvish, no less - to Bran and Lunera by the tree that he cultivated to try to help them deal with the miasma.
159* TheFaceless: In a tradition that extends back to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', the only facial features of Ruggles that can be seen are his eyes and his luxurious beard.
160* IOweYouMyLife: His dedication to Lunera is due to her saving him when she found him collapsed and near death.
161* TheStoic: While Ruggles does clearly react to what's going on around him, he doesn't emote very much - he's much more of one to let his actions convey his feelings. His idea of making a tribute to the people who saved him is to literally carve out large tunnels that can house multiple towns, plus nurture a tree that ends up surviving for centuries.
162* VitriolicBestBuds: He later develops into this dynamic with Bran, mostly because Lunera's last wish was for the two to get along.
163
164!Lunera
165One of the last elves in Gronoa, who finds the near-death Ruggles when out on a walk. Her husband, Bran, was the other survivor. In the present day, the ruins of her manor still stand, and serve as the site of several battles held on the orders of Veritas of the Frost, as well as the temple for the Esper Lakshmi.
166----
167* FriendToAllLivingThings: Bran's reactions suggest that Lunera was just a kind soul that loved to support and befriend any creature that wasn't hostile to her. We see it in action with how quickly she takes to Ruggles.
168* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In contrast with her husband, she wields a bow and is a very potent magic-user, meaning she shoots both physical and magical projectiles at foes.
169* LastOfTheirKind: She and Bran are the last elves on Gronoa, and it's clear that their time is nearly over. [[spoiler: She dies about halfway through her plot event.]]
170* MoreDakka: As a vision, she has access to perhaps the most hits - 20 - in a single strike.
171
172!Bran
173Lunera's partner and one of the last living elves in Gronoa. He is rather vindictive of other people, especially dwarves -- which causes him to initially be at high odds with Ruggles. Once Lunera dies from the effects of Gronoa's miasma, however, he starts to develop a genuine friendship with Ruggles in her stead.
174----
175* CantArgueWithElves: Bran is a big elf supremacist, insistent that the elven way of life is better and that the works of other races just make things worse. He stands out because, of the five characters of elven descent who have appeared so far (himself, Lunera, Madam Edel, Amber, and Fryevia), he's the only one who acts this way.
176* ElvesVersusDwarves: Due to his cultural posturing, he clashes a lot with Ruggles about which way of life is better.
177* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In contrast with his wife, he primarily wields swords and performs melee attacks.
178* {{Hypocrite}}: Among his complaints about Ruggles wasting his time was that Ruggles was trying to nurture a tree that could break down the miasma safely. In other words, that Ruggles was trying to use a bit of nature to combat the effects of a man-made disaster. He says this in his study, filled with books that were presumably made from felled trees.
179* LastOfHisKind: He and Lunera are the last elves in Gronoa, and he in particular has little hope that they'll be around much longer. Sadly, he's right - truly becoming the last elf when Lunera dies halfway through their event, and himself succumbing to the miasma near the end.
180* VitriolicBestBuds: He later develops this with Ruggles, partly due to Lunera's final wishes, and partly because he's finally able to come to terms with the flaws in his fatalist philosophy.
181* YouCantFightFate: A strong believer that one must simply accept what nature has in store. Among other things, he resents humanity and dwarves for trying to build things to fight against the natural order, believing that it's the root cause of the miasma. Near the end, he admits that his stubbornness on this point may have contributed to his people's decline.
182
183!Jiraiya
184A ninja who served Queen Kaede in times prior to Pharm's founding. He is the father of Hayate and Miyuki, and the husband of Chizuru.
185----
186* AllThereInTheManual: In the Global version, while it's easy to infer (via the unit descriptions at higher-level awakenings) that he's the father of Hayate and Miyuki (and the husband of Chizuru), it's never explicitly stated anywhere outside of the limited-time Way of the Warrior story event.
187* BadassFamily: He's the husband of a 4-star base, father of two others powerful enough to become summons themselves, and both of his children can max out at six stars with powerful equipment as Trust Master rewards in their own right. His distant descendant is also in the summon pool, also with a solid Trust Master Reward
188* DualWield: His Trust Master Reward is a limited version, which provides a large attack buff along with the ability to use two katanas at once.
189%%* Expy: He seems to be an Expy of the character of the same name from ''Anime/{{Naruto}}''.
190* GlassCannon: His HP and defence are low for a [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6-Star Unit]], but his attack and magic is very high.
191* HerdHittingAttack: As a ninja, he has a plethora of scrolls that can hit multiple foes along with causing status ailments.
192* KatanasAreJustBetter: His main weapon, although he's outright encouraged to use Dual Wield. His version of Blade Mastery also gives 50% MAG.
193* TheStoic: He doesn't emote at all, even worse in this regard than his wife Chizuru. [[spoiler: This leads to festering resentment that an enemy ninja was able to exploit in order to bring down Kaede's fiefdom.]]
194* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jiraya is very similar in appearance to Hayate, down to having similar stances.
195* UndyingLoyalty: He's like this to his master, Kaede. [[spoiler: To the point that he sacrifices himself to stop his daughter Miyuki, then under mind control, from killing Kaede.]]
