26[[folder:Disastrous Beast]]
27->'''Rarity Range:''' 4-6; 7 for Copra, Golem, and Kushra\
28
29Long ago in the Sama Kingdom, there existed a flame beast named Homusubi who ravaged the region. He was later sealed within Copra, an ice keep specifically made by the gods to counter its destructive power. Meanwhile, a female human and a male demon fell in love with each other and gave birth to the half-human demoness Lira. The male demon made an automaton Golem to protect his daughter [[spoiler:and then put his soul in its core]].
30
31Several years later, the couple suddenly disappeared, leaving Lira alone with Golem in the demon world. After suffering discriminations from other demons as she grew up, Lira was finally given a chance to fit in with them, but she must kill the Keeper of Order - White Lebra - in order to do so. Meanwhile, somewhere in Grand Gaia, a Judge of the Gods named Kushra found Copra and discovered the sealed Homusubi inside it.
32
33And thus continued the story of the Disastrous Beast...
34
35!! Common Tropes
36* IHaveManyNames: All of them except Lira change their name upon evolving. But in the Japanese version, Lira adds suffixes on her name to compensate.
37* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They initially didn't like or know each other at first, save for Lira and Golem. But now that they banded together to keep the Fiery Beast in check and to fight on the side of good, they've since become {{Fire Forged Friends}}... except for [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Homu]][[OmnicidalManiac subi.]]
38
39!! Homusubi > Kagutsuchi > Bordebegia
40[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_homusubi1.png]]
41[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_homusubi2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_homusubi3.png[[/labelnote]]]]
42-->"Foolish Summoner! You've awoken me once more! You'll regret your arrogance!"
43--->-- '''Homusubi''', taunting the Summoner for the the folly of releasing him.
44
45A centaur-like horror which once ravaged the Sama Kingdom, reputed to be so destructive the gods had to create Copra specifically just to seal it, only to be later released by Elsel, a rogue angel and former Judge of the Gods fascinated with its powers. It was later forced to sleep again by Lira and Lubradine, but then awakened again during the War of the Gods, though this time Elsel, Lira and Lubradine devised a way to use its powers for good, with a reprogrammed Copra and Lira's guardian - Golem - ever present to prevent any collateral damage towards humanity.
46----
47* {{Bowdlerise}}: Similar to Freya's Brave Burst, Homusubi's Brave Burst name was changed from "Sodom Claymore" to "Somber Claymore".
48* DubNameChange: In Japanese version, its 4-Star form's name is "Tar Dar".
49* HeelFaceTurn: The creature was later made to fight on the side of good, wreaking havoc on the armies of the gods until...
50* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Surprisingly, it later sacrificed itself to save the traitorous Ronel from her former leaders' wrath.]]
51* TheJuggernaut: It was so powerful, the gods had to build a weapon specifically to seal it away, which was Copra. Had the sealing process not been interfered with, the terror this beast wrought to the people of the Sama Kingdom and later the gods would have ended.
52* MadeOfEvil: This creature is said to be the embodiment of mayhem.
53* OmnicidalManiac: It started attacking the Sama Kingdom and other places without warning, and even after it fought on the side of good the creature still had to be closely monitored by Elsel and the others.
54* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Where this monster gallops across places only to raze them down to the ground using its flames!
55* PersonOfMassDestruction: It was so destructive, it razed countless places in the Sama Kingdom and elsewhere. It's especially telling as two other great beings had to work together to prevent it from ravaging the rest of the land and harming humanity.
56* PlayingWithFire: Its element, and the only element it needs to bring destruction to all.
57* RedBaron: It is sometimes called the "Fiery Beast", and is formally called the "Disastrous Beast".
58* SealedEvilInACan: Its initial fate until Elsel released it from its prison.
59* TokenEvilTeammate: Out of all the units in its batch, this monster is considered as such by the others as it still wants to destroy everything in its way, and it was only kept in check as to not cause collateral damage to the remaining human forces resisting the gods.
60* TheWorfEffect: It was somehow beaten by Lira and Lubradine. In-universe, many scholars have put forward countless theories as to how it was defeated by them.
61* XOnAStick: Its weapon of choice, where the X is its axe mentioned above.
62
63!! Ice Keep Copra > Ice Tower Tesla > Ice Fortress Oulu > Ice Bastion Zeldeus
64[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_copra1.png]]
65[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_copra2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_copra3.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_copra4.png[[/labelnote]]]]
66-->"I am the Ice Keep Copra. I was created by the gods. I am the extinguisher of flames."
67--->-- '''Ice Keep Copra''', introducing itself to the Summoner.
68
69A mechanical being created by the gods to seal away Homusubi. While its offensive and defensive powers are already impressive, its true potential lay in its ability to reconfigure armaments at will. At one point it managed to successfully seal away Homusubi, only for its efforts to be undone by the rogue angel Elsel, causing it to shut down and be recalled by the gods who would later consider using it against humanity... except that Elsel somehow knew how to reprogram it and turned it against them.
70----
71* AdaptiveAbility: It thrives on this. Seeing that Homusubi had to be stopped, the gods added this function to Copra in order for it to perform its mission successfully, should its initial armaments be insufficient. Because of this, Copra grew past their expectations.
72* BarrierWarrior: It can use its ice powers to form strong defenses, as it was made to battle Homusubi and seal it away for good. This strategy also figures into its Brave Bursts, which mitigates all damage taken by a certain percentage for 1 turn.
73* {{Cyclops}}: Assuming of course that the light shining from its supposed head is its glowing eye, then Copra is a building variant of one.
74* ElementalRivalry: Towards Homusubi and its later forms. Justified as it was built by the gods specifically to deal with the creature.
75* HeelFaceTurn: It was later reprogrammed by Elsel to fight against its creators, and as well as to keep the Fire Beast in check from even attacking friendly human forces.
76* HeroicHost: [[spoiler:It ended up accepting the spirit of Lira's father, that was sealed inside Gravion in its core, to prevent the both of them from dying of their wounds.]]
77* HeroicSecondWind: [[spoiler:When it came close to dying, it gained free will and a soul, and used them to power its evolution into its final form, Ice Bastion Zeldeus.]]
78* AnIcePerson: Its real power, invoked by the gods to counter the power of the Fiery Beast Homusubi.
79%%* TheJuggernaut: Copra eventually grew into this.
80%%* LivingWeapon: What Copra and its later forms actually are.
81%%* MakingASplash: By right, that's its actual element in-game.
82* RedBaron: Thanks to the many times it intervened in the gods' attempts to destroy humanity, it was eventually known as the "Fortress of Humanity's Hope".
83* SealedEvilInACan: Where it was the Can to the Sealed Evil Homusubi, at least until Kushra released the latter.
84* SubsystemDamage: The damage it kept sustaining during the War of the Gods eventually affected its repair systems, and as a result its functionality began to cease.
85%%* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: In essence, the HeelFaceTurn above could also be considered as this.
86
87!! Golem > Great Golem > Gravion > Colossal Vars
88[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_golem1.png]]
89[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_golem2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_golem3.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_golem4.png[[/labelnote]]]]
90-->"My...is...Gol...Golem....you...name?"
91--->-- '''Golem''', familiarizing itself with its new master.
92
93An animated stone puppet created by Lira's father to protect her once he realized his mortal life was soon coming to an end. While Golem was programmed to protect Lira from any who dared mock her half-blood lineage, it was said that its actions also implied a sentient will wholly dedicated to protecting her. When it fought the fearsome beast Homusubi, the crystal on Golem's chest grew brighter, presumably awakening the spirit of Lira's father within, thus giving it more power. Later Lira herself added more upgrades to it, but this time they were for protecting other people from the gods.
94----
95* AlliterativeName:
96** Great Golem's Leader Skill and Brave Burst are named "Supreme Sanctuary" and "Bing Bang Blast", respectively.
97** Also, all of its evolution forms start with the letter ''G''. It gets combo broken at its 7-Starred form, though.
98* AlliterativeName: Great Golem, itself.
99* FullPotentialUpgrade: Golem was given this extensively by Lira. Golem later used its new powers to keep the Fire Beast in check and to protect as many humans as it could.
100* {{Golem}}: One that was made with only one purpose in mind - to protect Lira at all costs. Later, its functions was extended to protect humanity as well.
101* GreenThumb: It's more a mix of the two types of this trope.
102* HulkSpeak: Golem started off with this, then eventually loses it.
103* MultiArmedAndDangerous: As Gravion, and also multi-legged too. This also extends to its last and final form, Colossal Vars.
104* RoboSpeak: In Japanese version, [[http://imgur.com/wM3Ki3u it combines its normal speech pattern with symbols replacing some of the characters]]. The Global server version opted to outright translate them all, though there are some remnants of it left in Disastrous Beast's Grand Gaia Chronicles.
105* SoulJar: Its core served as one for [[spoiler:the soul of Lira's father.]]
106* TragicKeepsake: It was the only thing Lira's father left for her. [[spoiler:And in turn, Lira kept a piece of Golem after it got completely destroyed.]]
107
108!! Sky Angel Kushra > Rebel Angel Elsel > Havoc Angel Ronel > Valkyrie Archangel Griel
109[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_kushra1.png]]
110[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_kushra2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_kushra3.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_kushra4.png[[/labelnote]]]]
111-->"You're my new Master. Command me, Kushra. Let us slay all sinners!"
112--->-- '''Kushra''', asking the Summoner to join her crusade.
113
114Kushra used to be a Judge of the Gods, whose graceful fighting style struck fear into the hearts of any who dared defy them... only for her to defy them herself after witnessing the force of Homusubi. Apparently entranced by its power, she freed the beast, just like how she, now calling herself Elsel, freed herself from the gods. From there on the rest of her history is obscure, though details surfaced every now and then, such as the time she defeated Lubradine, then later teamed up with him, Lira, Golem and Copra, whom she reprogrammed, to fight the gods alongside the now reined-in Homusubi.
115----
116* {{BFS}}: She later wielded two of these in her latter forms.
117* BraidsOfAction: Present in all of her forms, though they are rather inconsistent on how long they actually are.
118* DualWielding: She wields two swords to strike down her enemies.
119* FallenAngel: In a literal sense. She abandoned her duty as a Judge of the Gods and freed the beast that she wasn't supposed to free, and continued fighting her former leaders even as she experiences true freedom.
120* FanservicePack: Her outfit gets more {{stripperiffic}} for each time she evolves.
121* HeelFaceTurn: She betrayed the gods after exchanging words with the captured Homusubi, feeling that she wouldn't be able to be herself under them.
122* HimeCut: As a servant of the Gods, she has a stylized variant with her sidetails tied and the back braided. Her hairstyle lost its meaning when she went against the Gods, though.
123* InLoveWithYourCarnage: The main reason she freed Homusubi.
124* NoSell: Her Leader Skill prevents status ailments.
125* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Where she has gained individuality and freedom away from the gods and her fellow angels, and is willing to help humans instead of punishing them.
126* RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler:What she ended up doing in her 7-Stars form.]]
127* RedBaron: She held the title of "Judge of the Gods" until her defection.
128* ShockAndAwe: Her element.
129* StatusBuff: She is later able to apply a buff that increases the drop rates of both Brave and Heart Crystals for the rest of her squad, and a debuff to her enemies' ATK that has a moderate chance to stick. Additionally, if she's set as the squad leader then she is also able to increase her teammates' HP by a certain percentage.
130* WhatIsThisFeeling: Kushra's post-fusion quote, {{foreshadowing}} her decision to break free from the control of the gods.
131-->"What's this powerful emotion boiling up inside of me? I feel like I want to just fly away."
132* WingedHumanoid: She is an angel, after all.
133
134!! White Lebra > Lubradine > Leorone
135[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_whitelebra1.png]]
136[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_whitelebra2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_whitelebra3.png[[/labelnote]]]]
137-->"What is it that you're fighting against, Summoner? Is it worth it for me to join you?"
138--->-- '''Lebra''', prying into the depths of the Summoner's heart.
139
140A white leonine beast who served as the Keeper of Order and Bringer of Justice. One day, he met Lira, who was seemingly looking for a fight. Lebra, however, instantly recognized the girl's inner pain and inspired her to act as a free person, befriending her in the process. He also allowed himself to be defeated by Elsel, who was still getting used to her new-found feelings of independence. During the War of the Gods he rushed to Lira and Elsel's side against the gods, while coordinating with Golem and Copra in reining in the destructive power of a not-quite reformed Homusubi.
141----
142* TheEmpath: Lebra can sense through the deepest recesses of a person's heart, which is why he inspired Lira to act as a free person and also allowed himself to be defeated by Elsel, who was still struggling with her new-found sense of freedom.
143* {{Expy}}: Of Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia, only white and way more badass.
144* GuileHero: He convinced Lira not to attack him and later told Elsel to follow her heart, afterwards helping them with their own inner turmoil.
145* KingOfBeasts: Well, he is a lion after all.
146%%* LightEmUp: His element.
147%%* LightIsGood: His overall motif.
148* PowerGivesYouWings: He gains an angelic pair of them as Leorone.
149* RedBaron: He is formally called either the "Keeper of Order" or the "Bringer of Justice".
150* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted, as he is firmly on the side of good as Leorone.
151* StatusBuff: His Leader/Friend Skill increases damage dealt during a Spark, while his Brave Burst increases the party's ATK, DEF and REC for 3 turns. As Leorone, his Passive Skill also increases Brave Crystal Drop Rate during a Spark, and his Super Brave Burst can now damage all enemies.
152* TalkingAnimal: Of course.
153
154!! Half Blood Lira > Magistra Lira > God Eater Lira
155[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_lira1.png]]
156[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_lira2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_lira3.png[[/labelnote]]]]
157-->"I am Lira, a half blood! You should fear me! However, if you don't..."
158--->-- '''Lira''', trying hard to sound intimidating.
159
160Born of a human woman and a male demon, Lira became orphaned early in life and struggled to live as a complete pariah in both the demon and human worlds on account of her half-blood lineage. One day, she apathetically accepted a request to defeat White Lebra to be accepted amongst the demons, only for the latter to convince her that she was worth more than just a tool of destruction. Convinced of his words and after joining White Lebra's side, she read a journal from her parents and set off with a new purpose: to use her powers for good and to protect humanity in the upcoming War of the Gods.
161----
162* AllTheOtherReindeer: The other demons in her home world were indifferent to her due to her mixed heritage.
163* TheAtoner: For living most of her life as a demon, she lived the rest of it as a human in order to make up for the time she ignored her mother's legacy - her humanity.
164* {{BFS}}: Lira uses a sword longer than she is tall.
165* CastingAShadow: Her element is naturally inherited from her demon father.
166* PlayingWithFire: Averted. Her design also sees her using fire as part of her powers, but in this instance it is just a case of TechnicolorFire that does not give her an advantage against Earth-type units.
167* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: She suddenly lost her parents at a young age, and without their guidance, she suffered through many hardships and became an apathetic person.
168* DarkIsNotEvil: While she wielded the power of Dark, at heart she was just a confused, lonely soul whom White Lebra showed the way to redemption and ultimately a place in the world.
169* HalfHumanHybrid: Her father was a demon, while her mother was completely human.
170** This is prevalent as she evolves, where she has a bony wing along with her skeletal arm.
171* HeelFaceTurn: While she isn't exactly evil to begin with, Lira's personality change and her becoming a better person as well as her new purpose to help humanity, could be all considered as this.
172* PowerGivesYouWings: Or at least one half of it as Magistra and God Eater.
173* TechnicolorFire: She's wreathed in cyan-colored flames. As a God Eater, she holds a magenta one on her skeletal hand.
174* ThePowerOfLove: Firmly believed in her parents' love for her and wishes for you, the Summoner, to love her as well.

177[[folder:Twelve Guardians of the Gods]]
178->'''Rarity Range:''' 4-7 (Farlon, Raydn, Ophelia, Rina, Alyut, Ramna, Luly, Grybe, and Sodis) | 4-Omni (Signas, Lunaris, and Zephyr)
179'''Common Leader Skills:'''
180-->-- The Loyalists (Farlon, Raydn, Ophelia, Rina, Alyut and Lunaris): Increased ATK to units of the same element
181-->-- The Traitors (Ramna, Signas, Luly, Grybe, Sodis and Zephyr): Reduced damage from enemies whose elements the units have an advantage against + Boosted damage against those elements (6-Stars Onward)
182
183The Twelve Guardians of the Gods were special and powerful individuals who served those living in the Land of the Gods. Led by the charismatic Sodis, all of them lived in peace and struggled together to defeat those who dared defy the will of the gods, and as well as the occasional powerful demon that sometimes appear and threaten their home.
184
185That is, until Sodis found out about their plan to exterminate all of humanity...
186
187!! Common Tropes
188* AdaptationExpansion: ''Grand Gaia Chronicles'' expands on how the conflict between the Loyalists and Traitors went on.
189* FireForgedFriends: In their earlier days, they could cooperate with each other well despite their conflicting beliefs and internal rivalries towards one another. This is best shown in their battle against the Demon Zorbadel in their Grand Gaia Chronicle quest set.
190* GenderEqualEnsemble: The Guardians consists of six males and six females. When they split up because of Sodis' treachery, each faction consisted of three males and three females. [[spoiler:The only two survivors of the conflict are conveniently also a male (Zephyr) and a female (Signas).]]
191
192!! Red Slash Farlon > Red Blade Farlon > Red Swordsman Farlon > Crimson Phoenix Farlon
193[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_farlon1.png]]
194[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_farlon2.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_farlon3.png https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_farlon4.png[[/labelnote]]]]
195-->"Swordsman of the 12 Guardians! That is who I am! Be sure not to forget it!"
196--->-- '''Farlon''', showing off his pride as a swordsman for the gods.
197
198One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods, Farlon Schulgusk is incredibly proud of his abilities and, while polite, is reluctant to open up to his fellow Guardians besides his lover Ramna. His distrust for their leader, Sodis, seemed warranted when the latter turned against the gods. He jumped on the chance to defeat him, only to be manhandled. Humiliated, Farlon prepared for another shot at the traitorous Guardian, only to be further enraged upon discovering that Ramna, too, apparently betrayed him.
199----
200* AloofAlly: To the pre-breakup group, opening up his heart only to Ramna.
201%%* BadassCape: He wears one in all of his evolutions.
202%% Doesn't explain what the reactions are. * BerserkButton:
203%% ** He doesn't take losses (be it "losing against someone" or "losing something" kinds of losses) pretty well. [[spoiler:According to ''Grand Gaia Chronicles'', this is because his family disowned him after a ''single loss'' in a chivalry duel.]]
204%% ** [[spoiler:As Luly found too late, mocking his latest screw-up (in this case, killing Ramna instead of Sodis) is another. Worse thing is, she's not the only one who paid the price.]]
205* BlueBlood: It's revealed in ''Grand Gaia Chronicles'' that he came from a prestigious family of some sort, called the Schulgusks.
206%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
207* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Farlon crossed it after he killed Ramna by accident, starting with killing Luly who unwittingly rubbed salt on his wounds by laughing at his mistake.]]
208* DiscardAndDraw: With some of his Super Brave Bursts, he can discard his DEF to draw ATK-based buffs, turning him from a JackOfAllStats into a GlassCannon.
209* DisproportionateRetribution:
210** [[spoiler:Lose a single chivalry duel? Too bad! Your parents decide to disown you after that!]]
211** [[spoiler:Accidentally killed your lover? Kill a few more of your friends! Justified, as Melord had been secretly overwhelming his emotions beyond reasoning.]]
212* EtTuBrute: Signas, Grybe, Luly and Zephyr deserting to Sodis' side was already a bad experience for him, but Ramna deserting too was pretty much his last straw.
213%%* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:His ''pride''. '''Big time.''']]
214%%* FieryRedhead
215%%* GlassCannon: Can opt to invoke it on himself by using his Super Brave Bursts.
216* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:This guy doesn't hold back when he's pissed: He killed Ramna, Luly, Rina, and Grybe!]]
217* JackOfAllStats: In all his evolutions, Farlon starts with equal ATK, DEF and REC. And if his unit typing is Lord, his stats will always remain even.
218* MagicKnight: In addition to his swordsmanship, he can also blast fire from out of his hand.
219* MurderByMistake: [[spoiler:He was about to strike Sodis when Ramna intercepted.]]
220* MutualKill: [[spoiler:After killing off a fraction of the Twelve Guardians, his killing streak ended with Grybe's HeroicSacrifice.]]
221* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
222** [[spoiler: Thanks to being blinded by his anger after getting defeated by Sodis, the chances of having the Loyalist and Traitor Guardians resolve their differences peacefully were lost for good due to his later actions.]]
223** [[spoiler:Suffice to say, if it wasn't for Farlon's rage, a lot of the tragedies the Guardians suffered could have been avoided had he just calmed down.]]
224* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Just a single break in his winning streak at an arena, and his parents no longer acknowledged him as their son.]]
225* PlayingWithFire: Together with wielding his blade.
226* PowerGivesYouWings: He gains a pair of burning dark purple wings in his 7-Stars form.
227* PrideBeforeAFall: He thought he was so powerful that he didn't need aid from his allies, preferring to rely on his own strength. Too bad Sodis was too much for him to handle.
228* {{Revenge}}: His goal after he recovered from Sodis' manhandling of him, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor only it didn't give him any satisfaction...]]

232* WouldHurtAChild: "Hurt"? [[spoiler:He slashed Luly's ''head'' off! Though it was justified, as she insensitively laughed at his loss.]]

237-->"Me? I'm Signas. I'm one of the 12 Guardians. Anyway, nice to meet you."
238--->-- '''Signas''', displaying her social awkwardness.
239
240One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods, Signas was a lonely kid living on a cold mountain until Sodis found, raised and then brought her to his group, though he also granted her the benefit of acting independently to which she responded by pledging her complete loyalty to him, to the point of joining his rebellion against the gods where she distinguished herself with her ferocious and unpredictable combat style.
241----
242* BoyishShortHair: Played straight, then zigzagged in her 7-Stars form as she grows her hair.
243* {{BFS}}: As Snow Queen, and later as Blizzard Fang.
244* EyepatchOfPower: In her 7-Stars form. [[spoiler:She got it following the tragic dissolution of her circle of friends. It's implied that Farlon slashed her eye off.]]
245* EyeScream: [[spoiler:DependingOnTheArtist, she lost either her left or right eye.]]
246* FriendlyRivalry: With Ophelia, though it became sour after her defection.
247* KingOfBeasts: Obviously from the name, but also plays a big part in her [[NemeanSkinning design]] ala VideoGame/MonsterHunter.
248* MakingASplash: Her element in battle, though visually it's closer to AnIcePerson.
249* MamaBear: [[spoiler:As Alpha Leader, going so far as to ask you to take care of her students in her Fusion quote. It's quite a development from the stoic woman she was.]]
250* TheMentor: [[spoiler:After disappearing following the tragic dissolution of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods, she took up teaching future heroes and preparing them for the coming onslaught of the gods. The ''Grand Gaia Chronicles'' manga also reveals that Vargas was one of her students, and also advised Falma to "find true friendship".]]
251* TheRemnant: [[spoiler:One of two Guardians currently confirmed to have survived the Loyalist-Traitor conflict, the other being Zephyr.]]
252* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:After the conflict, she found and kept Ophelia's diary.]]
253* UndyingLoyalty: For Sodis, she's willing to do anything, including joining his revolt against the gods just because he took her in.
254* {{Unperson}}: [[spoiler:Signas erased herself from the history books so she could prepare the world against the gods.]]
255* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler:Legends state that after the civil war of the Guardians, she wandered the world training future heroes in preparation for the arrival of the mad gods.]]
256* WildChild: Until Sodis found her.
257* YoungerThanTheyLook: WordOfGod puts her as the second youngest of the Guardians after Luly. She looks as old as most of the Guardians, who are at least three years older than her.

262-->"I'm Luly of the Guardians! But what's a Guardian? Do you know?"
263--->-- '''Luly''', being childish.
264
265The youngest of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods, Luly was sent to a monastery ever since her childhood by her parents in order for her to learn to make good use of her immense magic potential. Despite her mastery over her powers, Luly is wild and unpredictable, often going on sudden mood swings. She joined Sodis' revolt simply to be able to show off how powerful she had become.
266----
267* BlueBlood: [[spoiler:She came from a prestigious family who produced generations of Twelve Guardians.]]
268* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She tended to act in very unpredictable ways, often to Lunaris's chagrin. She even joined Sodis' revolt without knowing what she was actually doing so long as she thought it was fun.
269* CuteAndPsycho: Come the civil war of the Guardians, she joined Sodis' side just for the thrill and sake of getting to show off her powers.
270%%* GreenThumb: Her element.
271* HeroicBSOD: It is said that Luly fell into one after blowing away all of the Loyalist soldiers with one mighty spell, immediately realizing just how torn apart her fellow Guardians had become. [[spoiler: The manga however, paints a darker picture...]]
272* InnocentlyInsensitive: Due to her young age Luly doesn't know many things about the world. The lore even states that she doesn't really know what "treason" is, so it's doubtful that she knows what [[spoiler:"death and separation" means either, as such when she blithely lampshades Farlon killing his beloved Ramna, which ultimately causes her death by his hand.]]
273* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:After laughing at Farlon for killing his lover by accident, she's the second Guardian to die in the revolt, and not the last.]]
274* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Her reaction to [[spoiler:Farlon slashing her head off? Use her last words to complain how boring and predictable he is.]]

276* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:Pulls off a terrifying one in the manga when she confronts Farlon after his accidental murder of Ramna.]]
277* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:How Farlon killed her.]]
278* ParentalAbandonment: Wanting her to use her great power for good, her parents left her in the care of priests at a local monastery. Unfortunately, this came at the cost of her mental stability.
279* TokenMiniMoe: Of the Twelve Guardians, due to being the youngest of them all.
280* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: No Luly, it's not normal for kids to [[spoiler:taunt a person who's just lost someone close to them.]]

285-->"I am the Guardian Rina. I heard your call, Summoner. Now where is the enemy?"
286--->-- '''Rina''', displaying her dedication to her duty.
287
288One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods, Rina is famed for her honesty and unfailing loyalty to the gods, as well as her overly serious disposition. When Sodis revolted, Rina was among the first to pursue him and his fellow Traitors, until Sodis himself confronted her and the others with the truth about what he discovered about their masters. Nothing is recorded as to what happened next, [[spoiler:though some suggested that ultimately she came to understand his cause]].
289----
290* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Loses her right arm to Farlon when she took a killing blow meant for Signas.]]
291* BlindObedience[=/=]UndyingLoyalty: Toward the gods.
292* ConflictingLoyalty: In the end, even though her faith in the gods was absolute, [[spoiler:she still saved Signas from dying to Farlon.]]
293* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:She ended up fighting a berserk Farlon (who also sided with her on Alyut's side) along with Signas and Grybe (who are both on Sodis' side).]]
294* HimeCut: Sports one to go with her complete loyalty as a servant of the gods. It is best seen in her very first form, without her headgear blocking her fringe and sidetails.
295* LawfulStupid: She hunts Sodis simply because he "betrayed" the Gods, without even thinking of his reasons.
296* LeotardOfPower: Careful observations, however, reveal that the skirt is actually attached to her belt, and she's been wearing a leotard all along.
297* MiniDressOfPower: Wears one until she evolves into the Gold Queen, in which she wears a long dress split at her right side.
298* SeriousBusiness: She treats her job so seriously she had to research how to let her guard down once in a while, and only after Sodis called her out on it.
299* ShockAndAwe: Her element.
300* StatusEffects: Rina can Paralyze her enemies with her Brave Burst. She can also Curse them with her Super Brave Burst.

306-->"Sodis, leader of the 12 Guardians at your service. Let us walk a just path!"
307--->-- '''Sodis''', inviting the Summoner to walk the path of truth together with him.
308
309The leader of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods. Strong yet broad-minded and thoughtful, his charisma attracted many people to his side... which made his sudden decision to turn on the gods all the more shocking. Little was detailed as to what prompted his revolt, though a few sources claim he discovered a plot by the gods to destroy humanity, which forced him to take matters into his own hands.
310----
311* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:To Lunaris, and he truly regretted it.]]
312* BadassCape: He wears one starting in his first form, which gets more ragged each time he evolves.
313* CainAndAbel: In the end, Sodis died by Alyut's hands after being distracted shielding Lunaris from a stray incoming attack.
314* CoolHorse: He rides one in battle.
315* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:His 7-Stars form is the appearance he took after coming back from the dead as an ascended being, formed by the vortex of his hatred and regrets.]]
316* TheDreaded: As Guardian Chief, his strength was so great, even the gods feared him.
317* DualWielding: Wields two poleaxes.
318* {{Expy}}: To [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]].
319* FaceFramedInShadow: His face is hidden under his helmet. [[spoiler:His 7-Stars form finally reveals that he has white hair and azure eyes just like his little brother, though his face is still framed in shadow.]]
320* FaceHeelTurn: What most historical documents opine about his decision to defect from the Twelve Guardians of the Gods. [[SubvertedTrope The truth, however,]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist is a bit more complicated]].
321* {{Frameup}}: [[spoiler:In the manga, when Sodis went to gather information from the leader of the Guardians of Meirith, he was framed by agents loyal to Lucius of 'attacking' a soldier who tried to 'apprehend' him at the entrance of the La Vedan Republic. This moment was later used by Melord to justify the other Guardians' shocking orders to arrest their leader, which began to divide the group.]]
322* TheHeart: Without Sodis, there wouldn't even be any Twelve Guardians of the Gods. [[spoiler: And when he defected, that was when things took a turn for the worst for the Guardians.]]
323* LightEmUp: His element.
324* LivingProp: No backstory is given to his horse.
325* NoNameGiven: Again, his horse.
326* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:If Sodis had took the time to confide his disturbing discovery about the gods to someone close to him and told the other Guardians about what he was doing instead of taking matters into his own hands in haste, none of the events in the whole Loyalist-Traitor Guardian conflict might have happened.]]
327* SiblingRivalry: With Alyut, although it became sour after Sodis rebelled against the gods.
328* WellIntentionedExtremist: Information gleaned from his fellow Guardians strongly point to the fact that he discovered a plot by the gods to KillAllHumans, driving him to do what he believed was right, even if it meant going rogue and being forced to fight some of his former comrades, including his younger brother and the woman who loved him.
329* XOnAStick: Where the X is his axes.

334-->"I'm Lunaris, one of the Guardians. Me, a mother figure? I'm not ''that'' old, you know!
335--->-- '''Lunaris''', on her function within the Twelve Guardians of the Gods.
336
337The long-time friend of Sodis and Alyut, and mother figure of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods. Lunaris is also rumored to hold secret feelings for Sodis, so much so she trained herself to be allowed to join him as a Guardian. When he defected, she thought it a misunderstanding until she was coerced by Alyut and the gods to join his side, even as she was forced to face the man she once loved.
338----
339* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:It is stated in her 7-Stars form lore that all the pain and the grief she felt and bottled up from the conflict eventually drove her to madness.]]
340* CastingAShadow: Her element.
341* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Luly, who she didn't trust to be on her own.
342* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:She was later captured by the gods in order to force Alyut and Raydn to go after them.]]
343* DarkIsNotEvil: Her appearance may seem sinister or intimidating, but she's one of the nicer Guardians in the group.
344* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Seeing the rest of her friends die while not being able to do anything about it was a very horrible experience for her, and [[LoveInterest Sodis's]] death was what finally made her snap.]]
345* DubNameChange: Ultimately averted to the fans' pleasure.
346* GenderBender: Not herself, but the seemingly-masculine shadow that accompanies her starts developing female features in her 7-Stars form.
347* MaamShock: See her summoning quote, above.
348* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: As Black Lotus, her Brave Burst is called ''"Hypnos"'', and her Super Brave Burst is called ''"Tartaros"''. Oddly, ''"Tartaros"'' ''heals'' status effects instead of inflicting them.
349* RedEyesTakeWarning: But don't worry, she won't hurt you unless you hurt her friends.

351* ShipTease / LoveTriangle: Is rumored to love Sodis and never returned Alyut his affections. [[spoiler:Sodis's 7-Stars lore reveals that yes, he loved her too.]]
352** However, her unit's description for the collaboration with ''VideoGame/PhantomOfTheKill'' states that she loves ''both'' brothers. Whether her love for them is platonic or romantic is up to anyone's guess.
353** Her Omni Evolution speculates that [[spoiler:she could have [[TheRunaway run away]] from the conflict with Alyut to Elgaia, where they would have lived happily and possibly with BabiesEverAfter.]]

361
362One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods and Farlon's lover. Ramna served as the emotional anchor of the group, well-loved by everyone, especially the aloof Farlon. She was also noted for her unique style of combat, which involves a combination of dance and swordplay. When Sodis suddenly turned on the gods she secretly followed Farlon who went to confront him, only to then encounter Sodis - who had just defeated her lover. He eventually convinced her of the trustworthiness of his cause and after joining him, holds out to her hope that one day Farlon, too, will see the truth.

378
379One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods and their newest recruit, Raydn was Alyut's soft-spoken best friend and right-hand man. When Sodis, his friend's older brother and leader of their group suddenly revolted, he investigated his movements to find out his reasons for betraying the gods before he was commanded to join Alyut's war on the Traitors, his misgivings on the whole matter notwithstanding.
380----
381* ConflictingLoyalty: Though he fought on the side of the Loyalist Guardians, deep down inside he had his doubts regarding his mission, and was even said to harbor no ill will towards Sodis, the leader of the Traitors.

389* YouShallNotPass: Legends state how he kept a group of Loyalist priests from interfering in Sodis and Alyut's duel.

397One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods and one of the strongest warriors from her home village. Despite her membership with the Guardians, she mostly kept to herself, though a recently discovered diary outlined her relationship to the other Guardians as well as her feelings to the situations they faced. When Alyut received orders to hunt down Sodis and his fellow Traitors, Ophelia came face-to-face with her fellow lone wolf and rival Signas, but their fight ended in a sudden stalemate due to Grybe's interference, and she later left on her own to further investigate why the conflict started.
398----
399%%* ChainmailBikini: In the ''Grand Gaia Chronicles'' manga.
400* ConflictingLoyalty: She sided with Alyut and the Loyalists, though the sight of Grybe refusing to harm her even at her weakest moments during her duel with Signas got her thinking about what exactly the Traitors wanted, which led to her decision to investigate more about the conflict on her own.
401* FriendlyRivalry: With Signas, although it's not "friendly" anymore since Signas' defection.
402* GreenThumb: Her element. Her Leader/Friend Skill also increases the attack power of her fellow Earth-types.
403* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Archaeological discoveries unearthed a diary chronicling her life with the Guardians and her emotional turmoil that resulted from Sodis' revolt.

405* UnreliableNarrator: [[spoiler:She's the author of the diary that mentions the "happy conclusion" of the Guardians. The truth is ''far'' from that. In her defense, Ophelia wasn't there to witness the Guardians' downfall, and that what she wrote back then might have been her last log.]]

412--->-- '''Grybe''', asking the Summoner to never fear him for his stature.
413
414Despite some opposition on account of his foreign lineage, Grybe was recruited into the Twelve Guardians of the Gods by Sodis out of respect for his innate kindness and strength. When Sodis revolted, Grybe and Ramna questioned him, but they were ultimately convinced about the righteousness of his cause. Nevertheless, Grybe would never directly harm his former comrades, even if they are hunting him and his fellow Traitor Guardians down.

420* GentleGiant: Also, despite his size, Grybe is notable for his good-natured personality.
421* HeroicNeutral: Though he sided with Sodis in the Guardian conflict, Grybe wouldn't do such a thing as willingly harm his former comrades. Among his actions as the Mech God was stopping the fighting between his comrades with a single shot from his cannon. [[spoiler: But then he had to fight Farlon...]]
422* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He fought off Farlon to buy time for a badly wounded Signas to escape to Sodis, getting each other killed in the process.]]

437
438One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods and younger brother of their leader, Sodis. While he is a swordsman of the calibre that could one day put him on par with his brother, Alyut is also pretty strict with himself and others, and is said to have harbored an unrequited crush for their childhood friend Lunaris. After Sodis' revolt, Alyut was quickly appointed new leader of the halved group. It is also said that as much as he dedicated himself to hunting down the Traitors, he found it hard to confront his own brother with the same cool resolve he showed against the other Traitors. Brother fought brother in an intense fight, and in the end it is said that Alyut finally realized what Sodis fought for.
439----

442* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:When he heard news that Lunaris was captured by the gods, he became this as Raydn stayed behind to buy time for him to find her, hearing his screams of pain as the gods' Disciples fought him.]]
443* {{Expy}}: To [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Paladin Cecil]] - both have long white hair, are Light-aligned, and are forced to fight their brothers who may be not so evil after all.
444* FieldPromotion: Elevated as the new leader of the Guardians of the Gods following his brother's sudden desertion.
445* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:When he finally realized what was going on, he and what was left of the Loyalist Guardians joined Sodis' revolt, but by then it was too late for them to change anything.]]

447%%* LightEmUp: Like his brother before him.

457-->"I will do my best to see through your true intentions. In the meantime, I will assist you."
458--->-- '''Zephyr''', deciding to follow the Summoner and look through his/her intentions.
459
460One of the Twelve Guardians of the Gods and trusted right-hand man of their leader, Sodis. Despite his immense magical power that would have put him on an equal footing with Sodis, he was nevertheless content to stand in the shadows and faithfully serve as the latter's ally. When Sodis defected Zephyr was the first to confront him, only to be convinced of the righteousness of his cause - a belief he felt vindicated with the addition of Ramna, Signas, Luly and Grybe into their ranks. In the meantime he was sent by Sodis to collect more proof of the gods' treachery, unaware of what was going to happen in his absence...
461----
462* BigGood: [[spoiler:One of the most notable revelations in the game's main story. Zephyr is commonly speculated to be none other than the mysterious Akras Z. Muzel himself, whose last will scattered in fragments across Ishgria led to the formation of the Summoners' Hall.]]
463* BoltOfDivineRetribution: His attacks manifest in the form of glowing purple bolts.
464* BreakoutCharacter: He was a fairly unremarkable unit with a really good art design and one of the most popular units in his batch. It's then slowly revealed that he had a fairly big role in the game's storyline.
465* CastingAShadow: His element.
466* DualWielding: Wields two knives in ''Grand Gaia Chronicles''.
467* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Believing himself to be the last of the Guardians, he was about to fight the gods until his dying breath when he heard the voices of his friends, who then inspired him to continue on living and find a way to get back at the gods whilst keeping his existence a secret.]]
468* TheLancer: To Sodis, pre- and post-revolt.
469* LateToTheTragedy: Zephyr was ordered by Sodis to uncover as much information as he could regarding the gods' plan to exterminate the human race, but by the time he got what he needed to show the Loyalist Guardians the truth, he was far too late. [[spoiler: His Omni lore states that had he uncovered the plot much sooner, it might have spared the Guardians from their fate and helped the gods reconsider their plan to wipe out humanity. ]]
470* MysteriousMiddleInitial: [[spoiler:Inverted and invoked. "Zephyr" is his middle name, and there were records that he used his loathed full name to hide himself from the gods.]]
471* NumberTwo: Again, to Sodis before and after the revolt.
472* OddFriendship: Surprisingly, he gets along well with Grybe.
473* OrnamentalWeapon: He never used the knives that were hanging on his hips in his first two forms, and they conveniently disappeared in his Dark Warlord form. ''Grand Gaia Chronicles'', however, shows him using them when he caught up with Sodis.
474* PurpleIsPowerful: His overall color scheme is dark purple throughout all his forms, save for his bolts.
475* TheRemnant: [[spoiler:One of two Guardians currently confirmed to have survived the Loyalist-Traitor conflict, the other being Signas.]]
476* StormOfBlades: In his 7-Stars form's attacking animation.
477* {{Unperson}}: [[spoiler:Like Signas, he had to erase traces of his existence in order to survive.]]

480[[folder:Social Outliers]]
481->'''Rarity Range:''' 2-3\
482'''(Mostly) Common Leader Skill:''' Increased ATK for units with same Gender
483
484These units were known for making their fame outside of normal society, hence them being called "Social Outliers".
485They're common drops in regions from Lizeria onwards.
486
487!! General Tropes
488* GameFavoredGender: If they were set as leaders or used from a friend, they will boost the attack power of their allies matching their genders (males for Talos and Elton, females for Elize and Amul, and the genderless for Parmi). Zeul is the only one who averts this, as he provides a different kind of Leader Skill that does not have any conditions relating to gender.
489
490!! Hermit Talos > Mountaineer Talos
491[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_talos1.png]]

500* TheHermit: Of course.
501* PlayingWithFire: He casts fire in battles.
502* RiddleMeThis: Anyone who manages to answer his riddles are rewarded with useful advice.

509--->-- '''Elize''', practically selling her services.
510
511A shopkeeper in La Veda who used her street smarts to transform herself from street peddler to owner of a huge store in the middle of a monster-infested area.

512----
513* AnIcePerson: On a smaller scale, her evolved form's title is '''Frozen''' Rose.
514* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Seemingly. She has probably cheated her way to success, went along with the bad rumors mentioned below, and sold weapons during the War of the Gods, [[HiddenDepths but she also helped orphanages and medical institutions by donating her earnings to them while she was assumed to be living in a life of luxury.]]
515* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: For her, nothing feels better than wearing a PimpedOutDress and HighClassGloves while kicking ass.

526-->"Do you wish to hear me sing? Understand. I will sing for you."
527--->-- '''Elton''', volunteering to lend his voice to his new master.
528
529Elton was a popular bard travelling across La Veda, where his charming music was said to have been the blessing of a fairy he once saved from a monster. His music was so soothing, even monsters were tamed by him, to the point where a noblewoman forced him under her employ, until a guard entranced by his music broke him free and let him get taken to safety by the friends of the fairy he had saved.
530----
531%%* GreenThumb: His element.
532* MagicMusic: His music is described as mesmerizing, so much so a noblewoman imprisoned him just to have his music for herself.
533* QuirkyBard: Though not in a literal way. At max, he is a 3-Stars unit, but he can support the team by boosting their ATK and DEF with his Brave Burst, and if set as the squad leader, all male units in the squad have their ATK increased even further.
534
535!! Wild Cat Parmi > Thunder Cat Parmi
536[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_parmi1.png]]

538-->"I'm Parmi. Are you kind, Summoner? You won't hurt me, will you?"
539--->-- '''Parmi''', expecting great things from her new master.
540
541The feline girl known as Parmi used to live in the borderlands of La Veda until she was captured to be a sideshow exhibit. There, she met an acrobat whose kindness to her inspired her to also take up acrobatics and climb her way up to the circus' main event. However, her instinct for freedom slowly grew, and one day she fled the circus, though she'd still pay a visit to the same acrobat who helped her aspire to be free.
542----
543%%* CuteMonsterGirl
544* IOweYouMyLife: To this day she looks up to the acrobat who named her "Parmi" and inspired her to transcend her limitations.
545* LittleBitBeastly: Despite being a beastwoman, her only beast traits are her cat ears, a tail and the gloves and shoes that resembles animal feet.
546%%* ShockAndAwe: Her element.

551-->"I am Amul. I can read the future in the stars. Please let me go with you."
552--->-- '''Amul''', setting out to practice everything she has learned.
553
554A girl descended from a race of shrine maidens said to have come from another world, and now living in the mountains around La Veda as fortunetellers. As a newbie, Amul has yet to perfect her fortunetelling ability, but her skill in the sword is noteworthy (though she'd rather not fight). Along the way, however, she managed to master both disciplines.
555----
556* AreaOfEffect: Her Brave Burst covers all her allies.
557=* GradualRegeneration: Her Brave Burst's effect is to let her teammates regenerate.

566-->"Nice, here's my chance. I'll go along with you. That's all there is to do."
567--->-- '''Zeul''', grabbing his opportunity.
568
569Zeul grew up in the company of gamblers, honing his skills to become a stable better with a penchant for suddenly making huge winning runs.

572* CombinationAttack: His Leader Skill raises Zel count during Spark.
573* DeathDealer: Zeul darts his cards down at his enemies as his weapons.
