170	[[caption-width-right:350:Original art for Cat]]

184	* FierySalamander: They're Salamanders with a specialty in Pyrology.
185	* LizardFolk: They have scaly skin and frilled necks.

200
201	* FullFrontalAssault: They're completely naked, not that [[BarbieDollAnatomy you can see anything.]]
202	* MakingASplash: Nereids are well-adept at Hydrology magic, and also have immunity to Water and Cold spells.
203	* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: For one, they are referred to as "Nereids" instead of Mermaids. They also appear to be a completely different race than the Mermaid detailed below; they're capable of traveling on land using their tails like a snake's body.
204	* ThemeNaming: They are named after the Nereids from Greek mythology.
205
206	!!Iris
207	!!!(F: Windie, Cloudia, Skya, Breezia, Gaile, Eire, Stormie, Nadire)

210	* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: Obviously, since they have bird wings and talons.
211	* ThemeNaming: Their names are themed after things related to the sky.
212
213	!!Diviner
214	!!!(M: Doman, Nakamaro, Seimei, Makibi, Tadayuki, Yasuchika, Yoshihira, Kawahito)
215
216	* CastingAShadow: Diviners are the most skilled with Umbrology.
217	* SecretCharacter: Exclusive to the remake, this class is unlocked by completing the Black Labyrinth in the Maze of Memory.
218	* ThemeNaming: They all are named after scholars and rulers from ancient Japan, who are mostly adept in UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}}.
219

221	!!!(F: Azami, Shion, Tsubaki, Nazuna, Fuyo, Mizuki, Momiji, Yukino)

224	* {{Ninja}}: They're a ninja class.
225	* SecretCharacter: Exclusive to the remake, this class is unlocked by helping Azami out of the Red Labyrinth in the Maze of Memory.
226
227	[[/folder]]
228
229	[[folder:The Seven Heroes]]
230
231	!!In General
232	* ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler:The Seven Heroes you fought through the game were only copies sent by the original. This is why you eventually fought Kzinssie a second time. To end things once and for all, you have to find and destroy their original bodies.]]
233	* TheAssimilator: All of the Seven Heroes (see HeWhoFightsMonsters below), though Subier and Dantarg in particular stand out.
234	** Dantarg isn't interested in revenge like the other heroes. He only wants to slay as many monsters as possible and assimilate them into his being to become stronger.
235	** Subier is capable of assimilating sea creatures. [[spoiler:If you kill the Master of the Ocean, Subier will assimilate his daughter and become much stronger.]]
236	* FallenHero: And there are seven of them. [[spoiler:They were betrayed by the people they saved and cast into Hell through dimensional magic.]]
237	* FusionDance: [[spoiler:The final battle with the Seven Heroes has them perform the fusion from Hell. They all combine to form some grotesque organic mass which each of the seven are growing out from.]]
238	* GottaKillThemAll: You have to eliminate all Seven Heroes as the story unfolds.
239	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Implied to have happened to the Seven Heroes themselves. [[spoiler:Both the Ancients of Austeros and the four memory bosses of the Maze of Memories imply that the Heroes used Assimilation Magic to craft powerful bodies for themselves from the flesh of monsters in order to fight monsters. This process may have warped their minds and souls to some degree. Being thrown into hell after saving the world doesn't help.]]
240	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The Seven Heroes gradually join the amalgamated form in the final battle for every 6,000 damage dealt.]]
241	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Rocbouquet is the only woman on the team.
242	* ThemeNaming: They are all named after anagrams of the names of the seven major train stations on the Tokyo Yamanote Line: Kzinssie is named after Shinjuku, Noel after Ueno, Wagnas after Shinagawa, Dantarg after Gotanda, Bokuon after Okubo, Rocboquet after Ikebukuro, and Subier after Ebisu.
243	* WasOnceAMan: All of the Seven Heroes except for Noel and Rocbouquet, whose demon forms still at least resemble humans.
244	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler: The Assimilation Magic they used to adsorb monsters to make themselves stronger seemed to have slowly corrupted their minds and bodies. The elders of the Ancient clan the Heroes belonged to, fearing that someday the group would turn against humankind, decided to banish them to the Abyss.]]
245
246	!!Kzinssie
247	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_kzinssie_artwork.png]]
248	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
249
250	* BoisterousWeakling: A character-defining trait of him. Kzinssie constantly claims to be the strongest of the Seven Heroes thanks to his mastery of the Soul Steal technique. No one agrees and his own teammates treat him with casual contempt.
251	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He kills Victor and Leon with Soul Steal.]]
252	* IWasQuiteALooker: He used to be a {{Bishonen}} [[spoiler:before the Seven Heroes were betrayed.]] Now he's a monstrous demon with a long tail instead of legs. All that remains of his old looks is his shield, which resembles his human face.
253	* SixthRanger: Kzinssie was the last person to join the group and is pretty much hated even within the group, because of his ill manners. Apparently, that's the reason why the player fights him in the very beginning, because [[UriahGambit Wagnus and co. use him as a meat-shield]].
254	* StarterVillain: The first member of the Seven Heroes fought in the game.
255	* YourSoulIsMine: His strongest move, Soul Steal, allows him to instantly kill any of his foes by stealing their souls and eating them.
256
257	!!Subier
258	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_subier_artwork.png]]
259	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
260
261	* CombatTentacles: One of the abilities Subier has is called Tentacle; and oh boy, does it hurt!
262	* GiantSquid: Subier's first form resembles a humanoid squid or octopus.
263	* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: His signature move, Tidal Wave, unleashes a massive watery wave on the Emperor and their party. If anyone does not have Water or Cold immunity, they are sure to take a lot of damage.
264	* MakingASplash: He lives in the ocean, and uses many water-elemental attacks.
265	* MonsterWhale: Subier's second form is essentially this, with tentacles attached to his head. [[spoiler:Subier will take this form instead if the Master of the Ocean, aka the Narwhal, is killed.]]
266
267	!!Dantarg
268	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_dantarg_artwork.png]]
269	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
270
271	* BloodKnight: Doesn't care for Noel and Wagnus's goals for vengeance and only wants to get stronger.
272	* TheBrute: The physical powerhouse of the team and second only to Noel in raw might, with an almost unquenchable thirst for battle.
273	* DisproportionateRetribution: After telling them about his motives, the Emperor/Empress tells him they will happily let him be if he doesn't harm the Empire. He reacts by attacking immediately because he doesn't need their permission to do as he wants.
274	* NotInThisForYourRevolution: If his character as a human warrior in ''Romancing [=SaGa: Re;univerSe=]'' is any indication, Dantarg joined the Seven Heroes solely to become stronger by fighting powerful adversaries. Saving the world from demons wasn't exactly a priority to him.
275
276	!!Noel
277	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_noel_artwork.png]]
278	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
279
280	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If you kill Rocbouquet after making peace]].
281	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Strange thing is that Noel does not hate Kzinssie at all and STILL sees potential in him.
282	* MasterSwordsman: Known to be the best sword user of the Seven Heroes. As a limiter to himself, Noel fights with his sword sheathed. If you've [[spoiler: killed Rocbouquet before fighting him or after making peace with him]], he'll bust out his sword, making him far more powerful.
283	* SupportingLeader: Noel is Wagnus's best friend and the one who organizes the group. For instance, he recruited Dantarg and Kzinssie. Considering he is the most normal one of the group, this should not be overly surprising.
284
285	!!Bokhohn
286	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_bokhon_artwork.png]]
287	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
288
289	* TheChessmaster: He commands a large number of the monsters under the command of the Seven Heroes.
290	* EvilGenius: Bokhon manages to weasel his way into the Seven Heroes and takes control of the Landship.
291	* EvilPuppeteer: How the game portrays him, particularly in his first form. In his second form he loses the puppets and replaces them with large MonsterClown.
292	* MarionetteMaster: He uses puppets in many of his attacks, and commands a large army of monsters he treats like his puppets.
293	* PeoplePuppets: His signature move, Marionette, targets one character in your party and has them attacked by all other party members who haven't had their turn yet.
294
295	!!Rocbouquet
296	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_rocbouquet_artwork.png]]
297	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
298
299	* CharmPerson: Rocbouquet's Temptation ability charms all males in the party; and there are other techniques as well that can charm allies.
300	* NeverASelfMadeWoman: A lot of her character involves being Noel's sister and Wagnus's lover. Lampshaded in ''Romancing [=SaGa: Re;univerSe=]'':
301	--> '''Rocbouquet:''' Only my lover and my brother Noel mean anything to me. Selfish, but that's who I am.
302
303	!!Wagnus
304	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rs2_wagnas_artwork.png]]
305	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
306
307	* IWasQuiteTheLooker: As one can see from the portrait displayed here, Wagnus used to be a long haired pretty boy. This seems to be a bit of a sore spot for him if his commentaries in [=Re;Universe=] are any indication i.e telling people to "quit laughing" at his appearance.
308	* GenderBender: Wagnus is male, but his demon form is a very female cross between a human and a butterfly with GodivaHair covering his very feminine breasts.
309	* InconsistentSpelling: "Wagnas" in the English-language release of ''[=Re;Universe=]''.
310	* TheLeader: He's the leader of the Seven Heroes and is their central member.
311	* LightEmUp: One of his attacks is called Light Ball and it does exactly what it says it does.
312	* LightIsNotGood: Wagnus sports a halo, four wings, and even a crown of thorns in his leveled-up version, but considering the fact that he's the leader of the Seven Heroes, he's anything but good.
313	* SacredFlames: Wagnus resembles an angel, and sports many fire-elemental attacks. Much more blatant in his powered-up form where he resembles Jesus Christ.
314	[[/folder]]
315
316	[[folder:The Termites]]
317	[[quoteright:286:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hivequeen1.png]]
318	[[caption-width-right:286:The Hive Queen[[spoiler:'s first form]]]]
319	Denizens of the Savannah underground. Led by the HiveQueen, she and her troops are initially found terrorizing the people of the Savannah and the Mole People underground.
320	----
321	* BigCreepyCrawlies: The termites, complete with the HiveQueen [[spoiler:in which you have to fight twice by the way]].
322	* BishounenLine: [[spoiler:The Hive Queen's first form is a hideous insectoid creature with a huge abdomen. When you fight her the second time, it's the same thing, only with a naked human woman with insect wings sprouting from what used to be her torso. Her final form, the Dread Queen, is completely bipedal and [[CuteMonsterGirl quite attractive]], complete with CombatStilettos.]]
323	* HiveQueen: There is an eponymous villainess leading an army of termites against Avalon. [[spoiler:A Bonus Boss called the Dread Queen is a much stronger version of the Hive Queen.]]
324	* ItCanThink: [[spoiler:The first time you fight the Hive Queen, she and her fellow termites seem barely more than predatory animals. When you confront the Hive Queen a second time, she actually speaks to you, explains how she planted an egg on the emperor who first defeated her to be reborn in Avalon, and declares herself a threat to rival the Seven Heroes. And considering how strong she is and how close she came to destroying Avalon, that's not an idle threat.]]
325	* OutsideContextProblem: The Hive Queen. Whereas most of the large-scale villainy can be attributed to either the Seven Heroes or someone working under them, the Hive Queen is an entirely separate and destructive force. And in fact, she comes further in destroying Avalon than anyone else, [[spoiler:seeing as how she pulls an AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs on you near the end.]]
326	[[/folder]]
327

329	!!The Bard (AKA: Haolahn, mascot of the entire [=Romancing SaGa=] trilogy)
330	In the introduction sequence, the bard opens up the game by introducing the Seven Heroes, and Leon, the first emperor. The entire game is then treated as one long, epic flashback poem/story played on a harp at the Avalon pub. This poem is called "The Ballade of Timeweavers."
331	----

333	!!Orieve
334	[[quoteright:334:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rosa2waid.jpg]]
335	A Witch who claims she is of descent from the ancients and prophesied the return of the Seven Heroes.
336	----
337	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:She was one of the Ancients that banished the Seven Heroes to Hell, and is responsible for the devastation they inflict in modern times. Unlike her kin, she decided to make up for that mistake by helping the Varennian royal family to stop them.]]
338	* PassingTheTorch: She's the one who teaches Leon the inheritance magic he and his descendants use to pass down their memories and abilities.
339	* {{Precursor}}: [[spoiler:Later on she reveals she isn't a descendant of the Ancients, but an actual living Ancient herself.]]
340
341	!!Witch
342	The secluded mystic living by the South Rongit Sea. Players can purchase life point potions and magic potions from her for 10,000 each.
343	----
344
345	!!Mermaid
346	The beautiful maiden who falls in love with one of the Emperors. Seeing her transformation is what triggers the entire mermaid potion quest line.
347	----
348	* DanceOfRomance: She is a dancer at the bar in Atlanticus. The first two times the Emperor goes to watch her dance, she dances solo and there isn't really a difference between the Emperor and the other people watching her. The third time he comes to see her, however, they dance together and this is what leads into the next phase of the quest.
349	* SexyDiscretionShot: When the Emperor comes visit her on the sea floor, she grabs him and drags him off-screen. The next time we see them they are both out of breath.
350
351	!!Cyfreet
352	The Chancellor of Cumberland serving under King Harold.
353	----
354	* EvilChancellor: He is behind Harold's death and it is implied he was poisoning him for some time, looking to take control over the nation through Toma and present it to the Seven Heroes.
355	* ImmortalitySeeker: His reason behind usurping the throne of Cumberland. He would offer the nation to the Seven Heroes in return for immortality.
356
357	!!Sekishusei
358	The loyal Bushido warrior of the Jauda area. He is one of the warrior vassals of Lord Ato, who tries to pit the empire and Wagnas against each other, despite Sekishusei's protest. However, Sekishusei's unwavering loyalty to Lord Ato keeps him fighting by his side, and eventually challenging the Emperor to a duel to the death.
359	----
360	* MeaningfulName: Named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagy%C5%AB_Munetoshi Yagyū Sekishūsai Taira-no-Munetoshi]].
361
362	!!Ato
363	Lord of the Jauda area. His attempts to manipulate the Empire against Wagnas, which causes Wagnas to eventually attack Jauda. When the Emperor finally forces his way into Ato's castle at Chonto, the players can choose between executing Lord Ato or let him live.
364	----
365
366	!!Sorceror
367	A nameless Sorceror on Comroon Island who seeks lost magic.
368	----
369	* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Where he lives, though he told the townpeople it was a research center to monitor the volcano... [[VillainsNeverLie which was technically true]], just not for the purpose of savekeeping the island, as the people assumed.
370	* EvilSorcerer: Wields fusion spells and doesn't think twice about sacrificing a good deal of people to get even stronger.
371	* ItsAllAboutMe: Doesn't care at all about destroying an entire island and all its inhabitants if that is what is needed to give him access to [[TheDarkArts Dark Magic]].
372	* LongGame: Two generations pass between the two Comroon Volcano scenarios and depending on what you did during them, the second scenario can take place anywhere between 100 - 300 years, if not longer.
373	* ObviouslyEvil: The man wears a skull mask and operates out of [[EvilTowerOfOminousness an ominous citadel]] complete with skeletons everywhere. Later on the place is overrun with monsters. The Salamanders on the island [[LampshadeHanging lampshade this]] by asking why a benevolent scientist would rig his workplace with trap doors. For all of the shadiness surrounding him, he does provide the means to stop the volcano from erupting when the Emperor asks him for help... except it turns out this was part of his plan all along, as his "help" ultimately triggered an island-destroying eruption, whereas the first eruption would have been destructive but relatively harmless in comparison.
374
375	!!Garon
376	A Pirate who has sworn allegiance to Subier.
377	----
378	* DirtyCoward: He hides behinds his lackeys, which bites him in the ass if the player takes the more difficult land route and attacks him from behind. He manages to escape after being defeated and he ulimately slips away by delaying the pursuing Emperor with even more of his troops.
379
380	!!Thomas
381	The son of King Harold.
382	----
383	* PuppetKing: What he would have been if Cyfreet's plan had worked. Subverted in the scenario's best outcome, since he hands over Cumberland to the Empire of his own volition and with his siblings' approval, with Cumberland as a semi-autonomous province and Thomas as its regent.
