3[[folder:Introduced in ''Phantasy Star Universe'']]
4!!Ethan Waber
5!!!Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSeki (JPN), Nick Tagas (ENG)
6The Main Character of ''Universe''. Lumia's older brother and member of the GUARDIANS Mobile Defense Unit.
7----
8* AntiHero: [[spoiler:As a Rogue, he assists the GUARDIANS outside the law. ''Episode 3'', Chapter 3 has him make use of his outlaw status to break into the Communion of Gurhal's headquarters for a "terrorist attack." It's actually a diversion so the GUARDIANS can sneak in and investigate the LSS.]]
9* BigNo: Lets one out when [[spoiler: Orson dies]].
10* TheCommiesMadeMeDoIt: [[spoiler:He is coerced into assassinating president Dallgun by the Illuminus' leader (who threatens to kill his father if he doesn't comply.) The attempt fails and he is forced to flee.]]
11* DoubleWeapon: Beyond ''Episode 1'', his weapon tends to be a set of Crea Doubles, a Double Saber resembling the weapon type as it appears in VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline rather than the more oar-like designs common in ''Universe''.
12* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Ultimately [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] because while he doesn't actually become evil, he does become more willing to resort to underhanded tactics as a Rogue.]]
13* {{Expy}}: Since he is a redheaded WideEyedIdealist whose shirt is white with colored sleeves, he is often compared to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou Emiya]].
14* HeroesPreferSwords: Though he tends to switch between different kinds of sword-like weapons. He's usually shown wielding [[SwordAndGun a Saber and a Handgun]] (mainly in promotional art,) a Sword, or a Double Saber.
15* IdiotHero: He really doesn't seem particularly bright in his dialogue and often charges into combat headfirst. Hyuga teases him for this, and Karen berates him.
16* RedemptionDemotion: Played with since he only ''appears'' to have done a FaceHeelTurn. As a Rogue, Ethan uses two S-Rank weapons (Crea Doubles and Blackheart), but when [[spoiler:he becomes a GUARDIAN again, he keeps his Crea Doubles but trades in his Blackheart for the A-Rank [=DB's=] Sword. He also downgrades his Sword and Wand.]]
17* RightManInTheWrongPlace: Takes up arms during the first SEED attack because the only Guardian there (Leo) is paralyzed and his sister could be in danger before help arrives.
18* RogueProtagonist: [[spoiler:He becomes a literal example in ''Ambitions of the Illuminus'' when he joins the Rogues.]] [[spoiler:But it's ultimately a subversion. Tylor granted him asylum after his failed assassination plot and the two team up to fight the Illuminus.]]
19
20!!Karen Erra
21!!!Voiced by: Creator/RieTanaka (JPN), Erin M. Cahill (ENG)
22A female Newman and GUARDIANS instructor. She is assigned to oversee the training of Ethan and Hyuga when they enter the GUARDIANS. Strangely for a Newman, she is unable to use [=TECHNICs=]. [[spoiler:She is actually the estranged twin sister of the Divine Maiden, and had her aptitude for [=TECHNICs=] forcefully drained by her father to increase the power of Mirei's. When Mirei is later killed, Karen is forced to assume the role of the Divine Maiden to avert a panic]].
23----
24* BadassNormal: Since she is incapable of using [=TECHNICs=], she relies on her expertise with guns and melee weapons to get through the mission.
25** EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:After taking over as the Divine Maiden.]]
26* DualWielding: Her weapon is a pair of photon daggers.
27* MiniDressOfPower: Her jacket creates this look, but she's actually wearing shorts underneath.
28* TheStoic: Rarely shows emotion, both in and outside of combat.
29
30!!Hyuga Ryght
31!!!Voiced by: Creator/AkiraIshida (JPN), Andrew Ceglio (ENG)
32
33A young and cocky human who joins the GUARDIANS at the same time as Ethan and [[TheRival forms a friendly rivalry with him]]. Hyuga may act like TheCasanova, but he is also a devout follower of the Gurhal Faith and a genuine prodigy. [[spoiler:He is actually the son of the president of GRM, and inherits the company during the events of ''Ambition'']].
34
35[[spoiler:He becomes infected by the SEED Virus during his work as a member of the GUARDIANS, and despite taking suppressants he eventually mutates into a SEED-Form. He is saved and reverts back to his human form, but sometime between the events of ''Episode 3'' and ''Portable 2'' he- along with many other humans who were exposed to the SEED Virus- transforms into a Dewman]].
36----
37* TheCasanova: Brags to Ethan that *his* partner is a girl and immediately tries to flirt with Karen when she's introduced.
38%%* LightningBruiser
39* PainfulTransformation: [[spoiler:When he mutates into a SEED-Form]].
40* TheRival: To Ethan.
41* RoyalRapier: Prefers slender, elegant Sabers.
42* TookALevelInBadass: His transformation into a Dewman in ''Portable 2 Infinity''. If not for the ArtificialStupidity, he'd be classified as a GameBreaker because of the nature of his [[SuperMode Infinite Blast]].
43
44!!Maya Shidow
45!!!Voiced by: Creator/RieSaito (JPN), Amy Provenzano (ENG)
46A female Newman, and Karen's adoptive sister as well as a researcher with the GUARDIANS Research and Development Department.
47----
48* DCupDistress: A brief cutscene in ''Portable'' reveals that she doesn't really like having large breasts.
49* LethalChef: The rations she prepares are... less than appetizing, to say the least.
50* MsFanservice: She has the largest breast size in the game (larger than the maximum size for a player's character, in fact!). Her normal method of getting past men is to shamelessly flirt with them. It even worked on Fulyen Curtz, who was a staunch [[FantasticRacism CAST Supremacist]] at the time.
51
52!!Lucaim Nav
53!!!Voiced by: Creator/IchiroNagai (JPN), Darren Jennings (ENG)
54An male CAST and headmaster of the GUARDIANS Academy.
55----
56* DirtyOldMan: Loves pinching the butts of his female students ... for training purposes, no less!
57* DoubleEntendre: Just about everything Nav says in combat can be taken the wrong way.
58* PowerFist: Prefers wielding Knuckles.
59* OldMaster: Despite being a CAST, he resembles an old man.
60
61!!Leogini Santosa Berafort
62!!!Voiced by: Creator/Rikiya Koyama (JPN), Mark Atherlay (ENG)
63A male Beast. He is the first member of the GUARDIANS Mobile Defense Unit Ethan meets.
64----
65* TheBigGuy: He is a Hunter who prefers heavy two-handed weapons, specifically Spears and Swords.
66* GentleGiant: One of the tallest characters in the main cast and also one of the most amiable.
67* TeamDad: Despite being not much older than Tonnio, He's usually the one who has to keep his recklessness in check.
68
69!!Tonnio Rhima
70!!!Voiced by: Creator/RomiPark (JPN), Amy Rubinate (ENG)
71A HotBlooded male Beastling. Like all beastlings, Tonnio [[OlderThanTheyLook looks like he's not older than twelve, but he's old enough to be your father]]. During the events of Universe, Ambitions, and Portable Tonnio is part of the GUARDIANS. In Portable 2 and Portable 2 Infinity Tonnio has [[spoiler:since left the GUARDIANS [[TimeSkip in three years since the events of ''Ambitions'']] and married Liina. He now works with Liina as a pair of mercenaries]].
72----
73* BattleCouple: with [[spoiler:Liina]] in Portable 2.
74* TheBigGuy: Despite being small, he has plenty of brute force at his disposal (especially during his Nanoblast.)
75* BoisterousBruiser
76* CuteBruiser: He's a frontline fighter like Leo, though he prefers lighter weapons like Claws.
77
78!!Liina Sukaya (''Liina Rhima'')
79!!!Voiced by: Creator/RyokoNagata (JPN), Creator/MeissaHutchison (ENG)
80A more calm and collected female Beastling. Like all Beastlings, Liina [[OlderThanTheyLook looks like she's not older than twelve, but she's old enough to be your mother]]. During the events of ''Universe'', ''Ambitions'', and ''Portable'' Liina is part of the Tyler Family - as the second in command to Alfort Tylor. In ''Portable 2'' and ''Portable 2 Infinity''[[spoiler: Liina has since left the Tylor Family [[TimeSkip in three years since the events of ''Ambitions'']] and married Tonnio. She now works with Tonnio as a pair of mercenaries]].
81----
82* BattleCouple: with [[spoiler:Tonnio]] in Portable 2.
83* BowAndSwordInAccord: Though not a ''sword'' per se, she often wields a Dagger and a Crossbow together.
84* PregnantBadass: In one of the sidequests we learn that Linna is [[spoiler:several weeks pregnant with Tonnio's baby]]. Yet she was able to kick the native creatures' butts for the first half of the quest - [[spoiler:then her morning sickness caught up with her]].
85* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Often seen with a Crossbow.
86
87!!Alfort Tylor
88!!!Voiced by: Creator/ToshihikoSeki (JPN), David Rosenthal (ENG)
89A powerful and respected Rogue leader with a strong sense of honor.
90----
91* {{Expy}}: His nature as a [[SpacePirates honorable space pirate]] is a reference to Tyler from ''End of the Lost Age.'' His ship, the Landeel, is ''also'' named after Tyler's ship.
92* HonorAmongThieves: A staunch believer in this, for he refuses to kill needlessly or steal from the poor.
93* SpacePirates: He has the air of a pirate captain. His weapon is even a flashy, glimmering laser cutlass.
94
95!!Lou
96!!!Voiced by: Creator/AyakoKawasumi (JPN), Brett Walter (ENG)
97A CAST in the GUARDIANS Intelligence Unit. Lou's specialties include data gathering and analysis, hacking, and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill blowing stuff to smithereens]] with her [[{{BFG}} SUV]] [[KillSat weapons]].[[spoiler: Lou is a special CAST in that she is the only CAST to have multiple bodies that all share the same mind - an ability previously only belonging to Copy-[=CASTs=]]].
98----
99* HiddenDepths: Despite being the most stoic and unemotional member of the cast, Lou is surprisingly sharp when it comes to reading others' emotions. [[spoiler:In ''Shadow Of the Arkguard'', she picks up on Ethan's plan to assassinate President Dallgun because he isn't acting like himself. She also deduces he is only doing so under duress which leads to her, Tonnio, and the Landeel's crew preparing an escape route for him.]]
100* MachineMonotone: Lou always speaks in same monotone voice no matter what situations she is in. This, coupled with her [[TheStoic Stoic]] status.
101* MesACrowd: As noted above. [[spoiler:There's even a mission where you help one Lou rescue another. It's a good chance that you never work with the same Lou twice.]]
102* MoreDakka: Her SUV weapon.
103* TheStoic: Purposely limits the emotions she shows and feels as they impair her work. [[CharacterDevelopment Though she learns to open up a bit more - when doing so won't impair her duties]].
104* RobotGirl: Naturally, though she comes across as robotic even by Cast standards.
105
106!!Lumia Waber
107!!!Voiced by: Creator/AyakoKawasumi (JPN), Amy Provenzano (ENG)
108Ethan Waber's little sister. She joins the GUARDIANS in ''Episode 3'' as a new recruit, and [[TimeSkip by the events]] of ''Portable 2'' has become [[ActionGirl one of their most elite agents]]. Although the older Lumia is highly skilled and focused, she tends to dismiss the help of others and work alone.
109----
110* ActionGirl: By ''Portable 2''.
111* ApocalypseMaiden: In ''Episode 3'', she is [[spoiler:used by the bad guys as a vessel of negative emotion, which would catalyse the resurrection of Dark Falz]].
112* BigDamnHeroes: How she is re-introduced in ''Portable 2''.
113* DefrostingIceQueen: She is quite cold towards Little Wing in ''Portable 2'', sometimes to the detriment of the mission. Her CharacterDevelopment has her mellow out and learn to rely on others more.
114* DistressedDamsel: For a lot of ''Episode 3''.
115* HistoryRepeats: After Ethan saved her using Leo's weapons, she uses the same handgun to save him from Helga in ''Shadow of the Arkguard''.
116* InconsistentColoring: In-game in ''Universe'', she is a redhead... yet her ''Portable 2'' design and official artwork show her with brown hair. (Her concept art for ''Portable 2'', meanwhile, shows her with a hair color somewhere in between the two.)
117* LetsGetDangerous: Downplayed in ''Shadow of the Arkguard'', where she frees Ethan from Helga's grasp by startling her with a gunshot.
118* MagicWand: Uses only Rods and Wands.
119* SheIsAllGrownUp: Changes from an average-looking little sister to a stylish space wizard courtesy of the TimeSkip.
120* {{SergeantRock}}/{{SternTeacher}}:[[spoiler: Emilia says she has become this in record time as a Guardians instructor.]]
121* SiblingRivalry: One of the contributing factors to why she tries so damn hard in ''Portable 2''. She has a lot to live up to, being the little sister of the famous hero that basically saved the entire Gurhal System.
122* SpecialGuest: She makes a special appearance in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' in her ''Portable'' incarnation as a guest star, where she shares a few non-canon bonus cutscenes with Vivienne.
123* TookALevelInBadass: By ''Portable 2''.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Introduced in ''Ambition of the Illuminus'']]
127!!Laia Martinez
128!!!Voiced by: Creator/YukoKaida (JPN), Gina Tuosto (ENG)
129A senior Beast instructor within the GUARDIANS. Laia is renowned for her ruthless training regimen, to the point where merely graduating from her tutelage is considered an achievement in itself. [[spoiler:She is the adopted daughter of GUARDIANS President Obel Dallgun, and feels that she has to prove herself worthy of both her professional position and of being his daughter. When Dallgun is killed during the events of ''Ambition'', Laia inherits his position as leader of the GUARDIANS, although she is reluctant to do so at first]].
130----
131%%* ActionGirl
132* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Has trouble trusting [[spoiler: Ethan]] due to her zero-tolerance attitude toward criminals. Justified because the crime [[spoiler: he]] is accused of is [[spoiler: an attempt to assassinate President Dallgun, who has the added bonus of being her father.]]
133* BlingOfWar: [[spoiler:After becoming the GUARDIANS' new leader and the Illuminus' first major defeat, she trades in her outfit for more elegant formal wear befitting a paramilitary commander.]]
134* DrillSergeantNasty: While she is a field operative herself, she has this reputation as an instructor. [[spoiler:It initially makes things awkward when she is promoted to President of the GUARDIANS, a desk job.]]
135* GirlishPigtails: Inverted. She's a toned, no-nonsense warrior with pigtails.
136* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Losing her father sends her into one. Your fist mission in ''Episode 3'' is to find her and snap her out of it.]]
137* IJustWantToBeNormal: Downplayed since she is fully in her element as a GUARDIAN. [[spoiler:Her familial connections, on the other hand, are a source of shame for her. She doesn't want people to know she is President Dallgun's adopted daughter because she resents the special treatment that would result from it.]]
138* MultiMeleeMaster: Uses Spears, Twin Claws, and Axes evenly enough that she lacks a true weapon. She is depicted with both her Spear and her Twin Claws in official art for ''Ambition of the Illuminus''.
139* SpotlightStealingSquad: The plot of ''Episode 2'' is all about her, with the PlayerCharacter pushed to the background.
140* {{Tomboy}}: Blunt, short-tempered, and doesn't seem to pay much mind to people viewing her as "loud and ugly."
141[[/folder]]
142
143[[folder:Introduced in ''Phantasy Star Portable'']]
144!!Vivienne
145!!!Voiced by: Creator/MegumiToyoguchi (JPN), Amy Rubinate (ENG)
146A new SuperPrototype CAST with unprecedented emotional processing capabilities. She is assigned to be the partner of the PlayerCharacter in ''Phantasy Star Portable'', who is tasked with shaping her emotional development. Vivienne is generally quite friendly and dedicated, though she comes off as naive at times. [[spoiler:She is actually a Copy-CAST of Helga Neumann, who uses the unwitting Vivienne as a mole within the GUARDIANS, with everything she sees and hears fed back to Helga]].
147----
148* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler:Despite being Helga's Copy-CAST, she wants nothing to do with the Illuminus' plot and joins the final battle against them in ''Episode 3''.]]
149* DoubleWeapon: She almost always wields Double Sabers.
150* LittleBitBeastly: Her antennae resemble a pair of rabbit ears.
151%%* ManchurianAgent
152%%* TomatoInTheMirror
153* RobotGirl: One unusually effective at learning and processing emotions. [[spoiler:Even though that technically she's a Copy-CAST, the trope still applies]]
154* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:To Helga, as the personality of a Copy-CAST is a copy of the original creator. This means that Vivienne shows how Helga ''used'' to be, before her mind was corrupted by the SEED]].
155* SpecialGuest: She makes a special appearance alongside Lumia Waber in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'', starring in a few non-canon bonus cutscenes.
156%%* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove
157[[/folder]]
158
159[[folder:Introduced in ''Phantasy Star Portable 2'']]
160!!Player Character
161The main character of ''Portable 2'' and its UpdatedReRelease ''Portable 2: Infinity''. A mercenary, who after a turn of events, joins Little Wing and forms a team with Emilia. Unknowingly, their arrival would change and motivate the lives of people they meet later on for the better.
162----
163* TheAce: They get recognized as being one of the top members in Little Wing, during the events of Episode 1.
164* BadassCrew: S/he along with his or her [[FiveManBand Five Man Band]].
165* BrainsAndBrawn: They are the Brawn and Emilia is the Brains.
166* ExperiencedProtagonist: They becomes if save data from ''Portable'' is imported into ''Portable 2'', resulting in the player character being the original protagonist of the first game now having become a mercenary after leaving the Guardians.
167* AHeroToHisHometown: After the events of Episode 1, they're considered a hero by the members of Little Wing for all their actions in saving Gurhal.
168* HeroicMime: Their dialogue in cut-scenes is player-input through dialogue options. Aside from that they don't seem to speak much.
169* HeroicSacrifice: During the prologue they end up protecting Emilia from an enemy Svaltia at the cost of their life. However, thanks to Mika's assistance their life is saved and they're later taken to Little Wing.
170* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Emilia. She quickly becomes attached to the Protagonist and considers them her closest friend, being unwilling to go on adventures unless they tag along with her. During ''Infinity'', Nagisa also becomes attached to them in a similar manner.
171* NiceGuy: Most dialogue options portray the Protagonist as being very friendly towards others.
172* OldHeroNewPals: If you import the same character from ''Portable'' to ''Portable 2'' as they went from being a member of the Guardians to becoming a mercenary working for Little Wing.
173* PlatonicLifePartners: With Emilia. The two are portrayed as quite close to one another and Emilia feels at her most safest whenever the Protagonist is around. However, outside of some mild ShipTease, their relationship is generally considered platonic.
174* ProtagonistWithoutAPast: If save data from Portable isn't imported then the Protagonist starts out as a simple mercenary whom nobody knows about.
175* PurelyAestheticGender: Stat-wise there are some differences, where males seem to have around 5% more HP, ATK, DEF and EVA, whereas females have around 5% more ACC, TEC and MND. They also have a larger PP pool and thus regenerate more PP per second than males. There are other differences that will be different depending on the race you choose. Episode 1 does not have any differences in dialogue no matter the gender, however in Episode 2 some of the dialogue will be different depending on the gender you choose.
176* SupportingProtagonist: Is this throughout ''Portable 2'' as the real focus of the story is Emilia. Same applies in ''Infinity'' where the main focus of the expansion story is Nagisa.
177
178!!Emilia Percival
179-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiwaSaito (JPN), Stephanie Komure (ENG)
180
181A lazy and unmotivated girl who works as a mercenary for Little Wing, mainly because her boss is also her reluctant legal guardian. She suffers from a critical lack of ambition, and the story of ''Portable 2'' focuses on how she regains her drive after becoming the partner of the Protagonist and being possessed by the Ancient known as Mika.
182----
183* BrilliantButLazy: Despite her attitude towards work, the game makes it clear early on that Emilia is quite smart and could likely achieve a lot more if she applied herself.
184* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:It turns out she was once a member of the Guardians years ago after being taken in by them as a child. However, due to her super genius intellect, the Guardians used her as a tool and experiment to further their war against the SEED which Emilia hated. This caused her to run away, and the trauma of her past was bad enough that she mentally blocked out memories until years later by the time of the game.]]
185* HappilyAdopted: By Kraz who's her legal guardian. As much as they give grief towards each other, the two of them consider each other to be the closest thing they have to family. By the end of the game, they even make it official through Kraz adopting Emilia as his daughter.
186* IconicItem: Combat-wise, it's her MagicStaff Clarita Visas.
187* OutOfContextEavesdropping: She overhears Kraz and others discussing about forbidding Emilia to accept any mission, which results in him running away to do an investigation on her own. What she doesn't hear is that they do this to keep Emilia from harm.
188* PleaseWakeUp: To the Protagonist when they end up receiving a fatal blow while protecting her from an enemy during the prologue. Fortunately for Emilia, their life is saved by Mika who was sleeping dormant inside of her.
189* PowersViaPossession: When Mika "takes over", her combat power increases.
190* SharingABody: She and Mika shares the same body.
191* WetwareCPU: [[spoiler:She was used by the GUARDIANS as the core of an experimental WetwareCPU. This ended up cultivating her antisocial behaviour, as the scientists treated her as a part instead of a person]].
192
193!!Kraz Muehler
194Second in Command Of Little Wing and Emilia's legal guardian.
195----
196* ActionDad: He's one of the most capable members of Little Wing while also being the closest thing that Emilia has to a father. He officially becomes this when he formally adopts Emilia by the end.
197* DarkAndTroubledPast: He once had a family but lost them in an incident a long time ago. This is why he can be so abrasive in the present, and it's not until Ursula kicks some sense into him, and the influence of those around him, that Kraz decides to clean up his act.
198* GunsAkimbo: His main weapon of choice is a pair of dual pistols.
199* InterSpeciesRomance: His relationship as a Beast with Ursula, a Newman.
200
201!!Yut Jun Yunkers
202A young warrior in-training of the Kasch tribe the party fought during a mission with Emilia, Liina and Tonnio to find Kasch Tribe village.
203----
204* BigBrotherWorship: He looks up to his dead older brother who was a warrior in his tribe.
205* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: He's a Half-Beast and Half-Newman.
206* NotAfraidToDie: Majority of his personality is his reckless nature and a mixture of this and DeathSeeker. This comes from his brother who said that a warrior could be strong when they "touched death" which he misinterpret as actively seeking for death in battle. In actuality, what his brother meant was [[spoiler:a sort of adrenaline rush when someone wanted to live]].
207* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pudding. It's one of the first foods he eats outside his village.
208
209!!Ursula Laurent
210A Female Newman and owner of Little Wing.
211----
212* InterspeciesRomance: Her relationship with Kraz, a Beast.
213
214!!Chelsea Enchante
215A female CAST and receptionist of Little Wing.
216----
217* DrillSergeantNasty: She used to be an instructor in AMF. It's also not-so-subtly hinted during a sidequest that she's infamous for being very strict.
218* GratuitousFrench: She occasionally throws a French word or two.
219* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her SUV is ''Champagne''.
220* LegFocus: The first shot of her is her exposed leg, which is justified by her having a recent injury she recently woke up from.
221* LongRangeFighter: While other CAST team members usually have short range weapons among others in her arsenal, hers are excusively long-range.
222* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: She looks really, ''really'' human-like, possibly even more than majority of [=CASTs=] in the game. Even her "boobs" slightly ''jiggle'' during cutsenes.
223
224!!Mika
225An Ancient who co-inhabits Emilia's body.
226----
227* DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler:How she passes on by the end of the game.]]
228* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's definitely on the good guy's side.
229* RoyalHarem: She used to be part of [[spoiler:Kumhan]]'s harem in the past.
230
231!!Nagisa [[spoiler:Adelheid]]
232-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NanaMizuki
233
234A character introduced in ExpansionPack game ''Portable 2 Infinity''. Nagisa is a "Deuman", a new race of mutated humans who have gained supernatural powers from exposure to the SEED virus. She is a cold and determined young woman who is searching for a series of mysterious fragments.
235----
236* DefrostingIceQueen: Overtime, Nagisa eventually learns to relax, especially around her newfound friends... [[spoiler:Which makes it all the more heartbreaking when [[FightingYourFriend you have to face her after she thrashes everyone.]] See SuicideByCop.]]
237* DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler: Does this in the Normal Ending.]]
238* EyepatchOfPower: Like with most Dumans, this acts as a power limiter.
239* GeniusDitz: She's a combat expert, having years of experience alone to work with, but to say Nagisa lacks common sense would be such a horrible understatement. It makes for some hilarious moments, though.
240** Example 1: Yut has to find himself a bride before coming back to his village. He comes to Nagisa, wondering if she knows where he can find that bride. She recalls the word, but misremembers its meaning, telling the Kasch boy that a bride is a ''rival''. The player character even comes across this, and it isn't until after she misdefines it to Yut that she sees them.
241---> '''Nagisa''': ...? What's wrong, [[HelloInsertNameHere <Player>]]? Why do you look as if you are about to laugh?
242** Example 2: The obligatory beach scene includes her being utterly oblivious to why everyone's gawking at her and her swimsuit until the player character explains what's going on.
243* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:One of the things she's revealed to want in the True Ending in a flashback. She gets her wish.]]
244* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Her greatsword, which (taking a cue from the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' series) can expend bullets to increase its power.
245* IneffectualLoner: Her character arc boils down to working past this, as she's fought alone for most of her life. It takes a ''lot'' of help from the player character and their friends, and maybe a little bit of Wainal's handiwork, for her to get there.
246* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Absorbing the Dark Falz fragments does this to her, on top of being generally unpleasant to her body and mind. She's forgotten a lot of things, but if you reach the True Ending, a post-game dialogue shows that everything's coming back to her, bit by bit.]]
247%%* PowerGlows
248* RedEyesTakeWarning: If it's covered by a patch, you're safe. [[OhCrap If she removes it and her]] ''[[OhCrap other eye]]'' [[OhCrap turns red, though...]]
249* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:[[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan She's the can for Dark Falz.]]]]
250* SharingABody: She and an Ancient named Wainal shares the same body.
251* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler:Attempts to have the player character kill her to avoid unleashing Dark Falz on the Gurhal system. Twice. The first time has the potential to go through, but if you refuse to fight back, she tries this again on the Holy Ark Crowley. This one fails outright, as by that point the player character is determined to bring her back alive.]]
252%%* {{Tsundere}}
253
254!!Wynarl
255-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinichiroMiki
256
257An Ancient who co-inhabits Nagisa's body. [[spoiler:Implied to be Mika's brother]]
258----
259* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler:Deceives both Nagisa and the player character a lot throughout Episode 2, to the point Nagisa thinks he lied about getting her what she wanted for her birthday in the True Ending. However, both that claim and the claim that his goals hadn't changed since the beginning were two of the few things he said that were true.]]
260* DirtyOldMan: Emilia immediately thinks of him as a pervert due to his {{Stripperiffic}} Ancient attire. Despite his insistence that she stop calling him that, he still tries to goad the male Player Character into feeling up Nagisa while she's sleeping after absorbing a fragment, only to be foiled by Emilia who calls right before the Player Character can do anything to her.
261* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If you choose not to kill Nagisa in Clad 6, Wynarl pulls the Ark Crowley out of Parum's ground and proceeds to threaten the Gurhal System with it and kidnaps Nagisa in the process. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as not only does he deliberately manipulate things so that the Player Character can go after him, but it turns out he set the whole thing up in an attempt to get Nagisa to want to live and have hope, thus expelling Dark Falz from her and absorbing it into himself in order to have her and the Player Character's team defeat it for good, [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself in the process]]]]
262* WalkingSpoiler

264
265[[folder:Antagonists]]
266!!Renvolt Magashi
267A CAST who leads the mysterious Endrum Collective, a group that wishes to use the SEED Crisis to monopolise the A-Photon technology discovered in the Relic Sites. [[spoiler:He is actually a Copy-CAST of Karl F. Howzer, created to stir dissent and advance the goals of the Illuminus]]. In The Magashi Plan, the player cooperates with a "defective" clone of him. [[spoiler: This same clone goes on to be the vessel for Dark Falz in [[GoldenEnding Subplot 4]] of Episode 3, Chapter 8.]]
268----
269* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He is killed during the game, but is revived by the SEED to act as an incarnation of Dulk Fakis. After that, a second copy is defeated and repaired by the GUARDIANS, mellowing him out a bit]].
270* BloodKnight: He really, ''really'' enjoys a good fight. [[spoiler:[[ReformedButNotTamed Even after turning against Howzer.]]]]
271* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler:Develops free will despite being Howzer's Copy-[=CAST=].]]
272* [[FlamingSword Flaming]] [[LaserBlade Laser Blades]]: His weapon of choice is the Two-Headed Ragnus, a [[DualWielding pair]] of jagged burning Sabers. He can even cast Foie using them!
273* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: [[spoiler:Despite being Copy-[=CASTs=], the original series of Magashi units began disobeying Howzer's orders and developing their own sense of self. By the time the first Dulk Fakis was defeated, Howzer began eliminating the rebellious Magashi units and replacing them with more loyal (but weaker) units. You manage to save the last survivor before Helga can destroy him.]]
274* LargeHam: Boy is he ever. [[spoiler: He inherited this trait from Howzer, the human he is a Copy-CAST of.]]
275* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:The Magashi clone you meet is the last of the original series after Howzer began destroying them for their disobedience. The ones created later are mindless loyalists to Howzer.]]
276* MonochromaticEyes: The only prominent [=CAST=] in the story to have these.
277* ObviouslyEvil: A grayscale-skinned [=CAST=] with [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver imposing red armor]]. Wonder which side he's on...
278* PlayingWithFire: Again, he uses burning Sabers and uses them to cast Foie.
279* RedemptionDemotion: [[spoiler:After Emilia "upgrades" him, he trades in his Two-Headed Ragnus for regular ground-element GRM twin sabers.]]
280* TheRival: To Ethan.
281* WorthyOpponent: The "defective" Magashi clone views the player character as this, [[spoiler: especially when he has to fight them (as Dark Falz) in Subplot 4 of the Episode 3 finale.]]
282
283!!Karl F. Howzer
284The shadowy leader of the human supremacy group, the Illuminus. He seeks to use the SEED Crisis as an opportunity to advance his own agenda and commit genocide on the non-human races. [[spoiler: It is later revealed that the Illuminus was a front for Howzer's true goal: to find a vessel for Dark Falz and unleash them upon the Gurhal system.]]
285----
286%%* BigBad
287* LargeHam: You can only hear his voice when you fight him, but he [[ChewingTheScenery crams as much scenery as possible into his mouth]] in those few brief moments.
288* LightIsNotGood: He wears a bright white outfit and leads an extremist group
289* KlingonPromotion: Got his position as head of the Illuminus by assassinating the previous one.
290* PowerFloats: When he faces the player directly, he is floating in the air.
291* RubberMan: Downplayed. He occasionally attacks you by punching you with a stretchable fist.
292* SadisticChoice: Offers two of these. First, in ''[[AllThereInTheManual Shadow of the Arkguard]]'', when he [[spoiler:forces Ethan to kill Dallgun in exchange for his captive father.]] Then, [[spoiler: in Episode 3, he uses Karen as a hostage to force Ethan and the Player Character to merge with [[SendInTheClones SEED!Helga]].]]
293
294!!Helga Neumann
295A mysterious terrorist linked to a number of SEED attacks. She bears the name and appearance of a scientist who disappeared over twenty years ago, but she does not seem to have aged a day. [[spoiler:She is actually a clone of the original Helga Newmann made from SEED cells. The SEED cells have corrupted her original personality, bending her will towards that of the HiveMind SEED. There are also hundreds of these clones, essentially making her immortal]].
296----
297%%* ArtificialHuman
298* EnigmaticMinion
299* {{Expy}}: Her command over SEED-forms, personality, [[spoiler: relationship with Vivienne]], and last name (which is very similar to "numan") are all references to Neifirst, the original numan from ''End of the Lost Age'' (PSII).
300* KissOfDeath: Her preferred way of spreading the SEED virus. [[spoiler: It works on Mother Brain and she very nearly infects Ethan until Lumia shoots her out of the way]].
301* OneWingedAngel: Has two such transformations, although the second is [[spoiler:into Dulk Fakis]].
302%%* SmugSnake
303* UndyingLoyalty: To Howzer. [[spoiler: It helps that an alternate ending for A Brighter Day reveals that she loves him.]]
304
305!!Shizuru Shu
306---> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunFukuyama
307
308The main antagonist of ''Portable 2''. Shizuru is a charismatic young man who is at the forefront of subspace research. He is seeking the "Codexes", which would open the way to Maghara and allow the Ancients to carry out their master plan. [[spoiler:He has become possessed by Kumhan, the cruel king of the Ancients, against his will. In the Perfect Ending, he throws off the possession and joins the heroes in their final battle]].
309----
310* {{Brainwashed}}: Has the ability to brainwash weak-minded people into serving him.
311* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:A victim of it courtesy of Kumhan]]

323%%* ManipulativeBastard
324
325!!Dulk Fakis
326The final maturation of a SEED life-form. Any creature that has been infected by the SEED has the potential to become a Dulk Fakis, the {{Hive Queen}}s of the SEED HiveMind that are able to control where they go and who they infect.
327----
328* FinalBoss: For multiple games in the ''Universe'' series.
329* HijackedByGanon: Considering the name, it's really no surprise that Dulk Fakis is an incarnation of Dark Falz. [[spoiler:A proper incarnation of Dark Falz is the FinalBoss of ''Portable 2 Infinity'', and therefore the series]].
330* HiveQueen
331* OneWingedAngel
332* WaveMotionGun: Can fire one out of its chest.
