| 7 | !!Ix Nieves |
| 8 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukiHanae |
| 9 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ix32.png]] |
| 10 | [[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click to see Ix as he appears in Arc 1]][[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ix1.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 11 | Protagonist of the game. A fisherman living on the island of Odanse with a penchant for being pessimistic and overly cautious. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Feels the need to protect or save Mileena when she’s in danger. |
| 14 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin color is a bit more tan than Mileena's even though they both grew up in the same town. His skin color doesn't seem to be from the fishing trips he takes since his swimsuit costume reveals enough to show that he doesn't have any tan lines. |
| 15 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: When he stops worrying like mad, he turns ''frightfully'' competent as proved in chapter 8. |
| 16 | * BadassBookworm: He's a nerdy guy...who is a powerful mirrist. |
| 17 | * {{Bookworm}}: Likes reading all types of books. |
| 18 | * BadassInDistress: He’s had to be saved by Marcus from drowning, Yuri from shimmera, Sophie from Marcus, Luke from a fake Jade, Sorey from shimmera, Rutee from Marcus, Lloyd from inside a shimmera glass, and more. Needless to say, Ix has needed to be saved A LOT. [[LampshadeHanging This does not go unnoticed in the game either.]] Fortunately, [[CharacterDevelopment this becomes less of an issue as the story progresses.]] |
| 19 | * BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler:Rare male example in ''Mirrage Prison''.]] |
| 20 | * BattleAura: Overray mode. |
| 21 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Preventing what happened to Odanse is what motivates him to help Gefion save Tir Na Nog. |
| 22 | * CharacterDevelopment: He becomes a more competent hero as the story progresses. |
| 23 | * TheChosenOne: Downplayed. Sellund certainly needs him but only because of his mirrage and its capabilities. Technically anyone could use it, but being a family heirloom and aptitude being hereditary makes Ix the ideal choice. |
| 24 | * CloneAngst: [[spoiler: He felt a bit of this when he discovered he is an exoflection and [[SurvivorsGuilt the only one out of three Ix’s to be alive]].]] |
| 25 | * CostumeEvolution: From his blue and white outfit in arc 1 to a predominantly black outfit with a darker shade of blue in arc 3. |
| 26 | * TheCynic: He worries about the worst case scenario, often to a ridiculous degree. He’s certainly one of the least optimistic characters in the game. |
| 27 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: His parents' deaths and the accident with his powers caused him to swear off mirristry. |
| 28 | * DeclarationOfProtection: To Mileena. |
| 29 | * DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: Eventually lost his status as protagonist temporarily to Kocis after his HeroicSacrifice]] |
| 30 | * ExistentialHorror: [[spoiler: Learning that he's an exoflection of the original Ix Nieves is one thing, but finding out his memories and personality are also created from a distorted mental image of the original Ix only further feeds into his identity crisis.]] |
| 31 | * [[SheCleansUpNicely He Clean Up Nicely]]: It's not uncommon to see people comments that he look rather plain for his Arc 1 design. Then come Arc 3... |
| 32 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Along with the classic Tales moves set. |
| 33 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He’s his own biggest critic and beats himself up over not being strong enough despite what he’s accomplished. His CharacterDevelopment mostly focuses on moving past this. |
| 34 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He traps himself, Gefion, and the voidstorm into a mirrage prison in order to save the world. His other two versions of himself have also died protecting Mileena.]] |
| 35 | * HesBack: Is back as the protagonist in Arc 3. |
| 36 | * LightEmUp: His spirit gear harnesses the power of Aska. |
| 37 | * MementoMacGuffin: His mirrage is a family relic and capable of performing massive exoflections. It's also the primary reason [[spoiler:his past self was exoflected because the original was lost]]. |
| 38 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:In his past, losing control of his mirrist powers and injuring Mileena in the process was this.]] |
| 39 | * NervousWreck: His neuroticism is one of his most defining character traits. He gets better as the story progresses, but he’s still very prone to apprehension. |
| 40 | * ObliviousToLove: He’s a big intellect, but not a romantic, to put it mildly. He’s so oblivious to Mileena’s feelings that he’s compared to Asbel. He even is oblivious to some of the sexual tension between other nexuses, something which Mileena and Karia pick up on more easily. |
| 41 | * OneWingedAngel: His Overray form served as one. His power and speed has been gradually increased. Gameplay-wise he still plays the same as normal Ix but with higher stats, an auto-heal function, and starting with his mirrage gauge full. |
| 42 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both of them died when he was 5 due to their mirristry research. |
| 43 | * PhotographicMemory: Chapter 8 reveals he has this ability. |
| 44 | * PlatonicLifePartners: After finally coming to terms with his identity and feelings, he is this with Mileena. |
| 45 | * ProperlyParanoid: A downplayed example, He has a tendency to imagine the worst case scenario when something happens. |
| 46 | * PutOnABus: He doesn't make an appearance for a large part of Arc 2. |
| 47 | * RealityWarper: His family specializes in creation mirristry which can create anything out of nothing. However, he lacks enough experience to create anything beyond small objects at first. |
| 48 | * TakeMyHand: Lloyd tells Ix this in order to save Ix from falling into the void of the shimmera glass. |
| 49 | * TookALevelInBadass: He gets stronger throughout the main story. |
| 50 | * VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: [[spoiler:Becomes the fantasy version of this to Kocis during ''Mirrage Prison''.]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | !!Mileena Weiss |

| 62 | * ChickMagnet: Inverted. She seems to gets attracted to female nexuses pretty easily. |
| 63 | * ChildhoodFriends: Of Ix and Phil. |
| 64 | * CombatMedic: More combat than medic; she's your first available medic (and depending on luck might be your only for some time). |
| 65 | * CostumeEvolution: From her red dress in arc 1 to her mourning dress in arc 2 to her new outfit for arc 3. |
| 66 | * CryIntoChest: Does this to Ix at the end of chapter 9 after nearly losing him. |
| 67 | * CutenessProximity: Falls into this a lot; sometimes her memos on characters are just her gushing over the cuteness of some of them. |
| 68 | * DamselInDistress: Was captured by the Salvation Front during chapter 8. |
| 69 | * DeclarationOfProtection: To Ix. |
| 70 | * GhostMemory: [[spoiler:Inherits Gefion's memories after her HeroicSacrifice]] |
| 71 | * GoodIsNotSoft: She can get pretty tough when she needs to be despite being one of the nicest characters in the game. |
| 72 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: [[spoiler: She’s blamed for the Mirrorshift at the end of arc 1, which caused considerable damage to the world.]] |
| 73 | %%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold |
| 74 | * LightEmUp: Initially leaned towards light spells in Arc 1. |
| 75 | * MasterOfIllusion: Her family specializes in imagination mirristry which makes use of this. However, it's limited to only utilizing things within her line of sight. Although she can get around this by dipping into creation mirristry or simply using pictures of things. |
| 76 | * MyFutureSelfAndMe: [[spoiler:Mileena is actually an younger version of Gefion, who is Mileena's future self. She was exoflected by Gefion herself to have her protect an exoflected version of Ix.]] |
| 77 | * MoralEventHorizon: What she could potentially cross. [[spoiler: Mileena has stated multiple times that she doesn't care if the world will be doomed as long as she can save Ix.]] Fortunately, she doesn't have any StoryBreakerPower to do that and has plenty of friends to support her. |
| 78 | * NiceGirl: She is pretty much nice to everyone, less so in Arc 2 but she is still nice. |
| 79 | * PaintItBlack: Her new dress in Arc 2 is completely black. While it's not an EvilCostumeSwitch per se, Mileena is much less cheery in Arc 2. Her new [[LimitBreak Mirrage Arte]] also has her using [[SinisterScythe scythes]]. Kocis also comments that Mileena doesn't talk to others much like before, and it worries him. |
| 80 | * PlatonicLifePartners: [[spoiler: Due to her memories and feelings being merged with Gefion, she takes some time for her to figure which ones regarding Ix are hers alone. Ultimately, she decides her feelings are non-romantic.]] |
| 81 | * RealityWarper: Creates a PocketDimension that serves as the party's hideout in ''Mirrage Prison''. |
| 82 | * SupportingProtagonist: To Ix during Arc 1. This is eventually subverted in the Arc 2. And she still plays an active role in Arc 3. |
| 83 | * SupremeChef: Mentioned multiple times that she’s a great cook. Ix talks about this of all things in his memo of her. |
| 84 | * TeamMom: She acts motherly around the nexuses sometimes. It has gotten to the point where Ix has called her a mother hen and Marcus has straight up called her Mother. |
| 85 | ** This is further emphasized in Arc 2 where she treats Kocis and Karia like her own children. |
| 86 | * TheRedMage: She's an all-around mage in the party, fighting with fire, wind, and light magic, and supporting her teammates with healing spells. |
| 87 | * YinYangBomb: Initially specializes in light magic until she adds darkness to her repertoire in ''Mirrage Prison''. Finally culminates in ''Fairy's Requiem'' where her spirit gear harnesses the power of Shadow and can create a special version of Healing Circle. |

| 90 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KoukiUchiyama (Mirrage Prison) |
| 91 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kocisfr.png]] |
| 92 | [[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click here to see Kocis as he appears in Arc 2]][[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kocis_5.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 93 | [[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click to see Kocis in his basic form]][[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kocis1.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |

| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * AscendedExtra: Goes from being Ix’s supporting mirrite in the background in Arc 1 to becoming one of the main characters in Arc 2. |
| 98 | ** Gets DemotedToExtra temporarily after Ix's return and being reduced to his basic form while still present as a costume for Ix. He becomes an AscendedExtra again when he returns as a playable character with a new outfit and new weapons specific to him. |
| 99 | * BadassAdorable: In Arc 2, despite having an adult’s body, his more innocent, childish personality gives him some adorable moments, but he is also skilled with a sword like Ix is. |
| 100 | * BigBrotherWorship: He views some of the nexuses as older brothers. |
| 101 | * BizarreAlienSenses: Due to being a mirrite, he can sense shimmera. This can cause a bit of a conflict between him and Karia since Karia isn’t used to working with someone who can also sense shimmera. |
| 102 | * BrutalHonesty: Sure, Ix is a pretty honest character, but Ix filters himself and is polite to people. Kocis is more blunt. Considering a mirrite’s personality represents the emotions bottled up in their master’s heart, this blunt, unfiltered personality is likely not uncommon among mirrites. |
| 103 | -->'''Kocis:''' If you guys weren’t nexuses, I would have punched you. The three of you are idiots even though you’re adults. |
| 104 | * CantLiveWithoutYou: According to Kocis, if Ix dies, he’d disappear, [[spoiler:which is why he thinks Ix is still alive in Arc 2. If Kocis still exists, then Ix must be alive.]] |
| 105 | * {{Chuunibyou}}: Not Kocis himself but both of his costume are influenced by Ix, in which he find them to be pretty lame. |
| 106 | * CleavageWindow: His new outfit leaves part of his chest and upper stomach area exposed. His coat is partially opened with his scarf completing the window. |
| 107 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Removing his eyepatch. In battle, his basic combo is extended but using the associated Mirrage Arte inflicts Kocis with a poison status effect that can't be cured except by letting it wear off. |
| 108 | * DeclarationOfProtection: Ix’s last order to him was to protect Mileena, so he protects Mileena. |
| 109 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: Gameplay-wise he is originally a carbon copy of Ix. Until Arc 3 where he is now a seperate character and having complete new fighting style justifed in the plot that their "link" are cut. |
| 110 | * DoubleWeapon: His new fighting style to differentiate him from Ix has him fighting with with a double ended sword. |
| 111 | * EyepatchOfPower: He gains an eyepatch after he [[IGotBigger gets bigger]] and [[TookALevelInBadass more badass]]. |
| 112 | * HeroesPreferSwords: This applies to him as much as it applies to Ix. |
| 113 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He thinks of himself as an IdiotHero and sometimes compares himself unfavorably to others. |

| 115 | * MagicalEye: What's hidden behind his eyepatch. |
| 116 | * MovesetClone: Ix's weapons, Mirrages, and level are all carried over to Kocis in Arc 2. The only things that don't get carried over are Ix's costumes. Any future artes he gets are also usable by Ix. |
| 117 | * PromotedToPlayable: [[spoiler: After Ix's HeroicSacrifice, Kocis becomes the protagonist in Arc 2.]] |
| 118 | * ScarfOfAssKicking: His new costume gives him one. |
| 119 | * SkilledButNaive: In Arc 2, he can fight as well as Ix can, but because of his extremely young age, he has less experience in the world and has a more childish attitude towards things. |
| 120 | * SpoilerOpening: The game doesn’t even bother trying to hide a lot of spoilers related to Kocis. The arc 1 opening gives away that he’s Ix’s mirrite, despite not appearing until over 80 percent into arc 1. He’s then heavily promoted as one of the main characters in arc 2, completely spoiling his growth into becoming human-sized. If a new player downloads the game, they’ll see the arc 2 opening, which promotes Kocis as the main character rather than Ix. |
| 121 | * SupportingProtagonist: To Mileena |
| 122 | * TookALevelInBadass: He basically went from TeamPet to Mileena's bodyguard. |
| 123 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Ix. |
| 124 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Karia. |
| 125 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: When he becomes human-sized, he looks like he’s around Ix’s age. However in reality, he’s not even as old as a toddler. |

| 137 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: She has a bit of a big mouth. While she means well, she can sometimes come across as rude. |
| 138 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Due to her childish nature, the main conflicts that occur during a couple of earlier chapters/events happen because of her. Ix understandably gets angry at her for it. She doesn’t cause any major problems in future events or chapters, indicating she has learned her lesson. |
| 139 | * NonPlayerCharacter: The only main party member who isn’t playable. |
| 140 | * PlotDevice: She’s an embodiment of Mileena’s powers. Her main purpose is to guide the main party on where to find nexuses and shimmera glass. |

| 244 | * DoggedNiceGuy: It’s implied he has had romantic feelings for Mileena since they were a kids and has been doing everything he can to support her. Unfortunately for him, Mileena seems to be more interested in Ix. [[spoiler:Even more unfortunate, his undying support to Mileena leads to a lack of judgement, the destruction of most of the world, constant heartbreak, and Marcus feeling the need to kill Mileena to make all this stop for Phil’s sake.]] |
| 245 | * GuiltComplex: He has a tendency to blame himself for a lot of things. |
| 246 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Implied to have feelings for Mileena but set them aside because he knew how much she cared about Ix.

| 252 | !!Marcus Grimm |
| 253 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroakiMiura |
| 254 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marcus_2.png]] |
| 255 | |
| 256 | One of the high-ranking members of the Salvation Front. |
| 257 | ---- |
| 258 | * AerithAndBob: Arguably has the most normal sounding given name of the original cast. Also extends to his [[spoiler:master, Phil]]. |
| 259 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler: In arc 1, he has mostly the same goals as Ix and Mileena. This often forces him to make an alliance of convenience with them. Unfortunately, due to being Phil’s mirrite, he feels what Phil feels and knows how much Ix and Mileena have hurt Phil, even threatening to kill Ix and Mileena if it would make Phil stop suffering.]] |
| 260 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Ever since the end of Arc 1, he tries to avoid being EasilyForgiven for the bad things has done and is trying to atone for it.]] |
| 261 | * {{BFG}}/{{BFS}}: His weapon is both a sword and a gun, and it's as tall as he is. |
| 262 | * BigDamnHeroes: Saves Ix and Mileena at the beginning of the game. |
| 263 | * BrainsAndBrawn: [[spoiler: Phil is the brains due to being a genius mirrist and researcher and intellect behind the Salvation Front. Marcus tends to be more of the brute force and soldier on the front lines, so he’s the brawn.]] |
| 264 | * DeadpanSnarker |
| 265 | * TheCavalry: Occasionally shows up just in time with backup to save the party from whatever obstacles they're struggling with. |
| 266 | * TheFace: Does most of the Front's negotiating, even convincing people like [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Sync]] and [[VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2 Barbatos]] to join them. |
| 267 | * AFatherToHisMen: Goes out of his way to negotiate the release of a single soldier. He's also built up enough loyalty for some soldiers to side with him over the rest of the Front. |
| 268 | * TheGadfly: Not everything he says should be taken seriously. |
| 269 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: [[spoiler: He sometimes makes self-deprecating comments. Marcus doesn't know how much of these feelings are his own since much of it could be due to Phil passing down his own depressing feelings to his mirrite.]] |
| 270 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He mocks Ix for his flaws after their fights, saying how Ix is constantly needing to be saved and can't save anyone at the strength he's at. Despite how harsh Marcus is, he's not exactly wrong since Ix is weaker than the other Nexuses and needs to improve himself. Marcus also likes to negotiate, and he brings up good points when he does so. |
| 271 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: His situation in arc 1 is complicated. He distrusts Ix and Mileena due to believing they’re causing Phil to suffer, is forced to work with the [[BigBad Phantom]] because [[CantLiveWithoutYou Phil’s life is anima linked to him]], distrusts the nexuses, and struggles with being away from Phil, not even knowing if his master is even alive. Despite all this, Marcus seems to want what’s best for the world and Phil and ultimately wants Ix and Mileena to defeat the Phantom. [[TookALevelInKindness In arc 2, his jerkass behavior is reduced to innocent teasing, with him aiding the nexuses when he can and being thankful to anyone who helps Phil.]]]] |
| 272 | * MoralityPet: He acts as a stabilizing presence to the some of the more villainous personalities. His relationship with Sync is one of the more prominent examples. |
| 273 | * RecurringBoss: In Arc 1. |
| 274 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: [[spoiler: He has this dynamic with Phil, with Marcus being the manly man.]] |
| 275 | * SwissArmyWeapon: His weapon is both a sword and a gun. |
| 276 | * TeamMom: He's this to the Salvation Front. His first character skit [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, much to his dismay. He cooks, cleans, manages things, and keeps everyone in line. |
| 277 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: To Ix during the ''The Distorted Kaleidoscope'' event before Ix fights Phantom. |
| 278 | -->'''Marcus:''' Hmph. Don’t let this jerk beat you, alright, Ix? Killing you is supposed to be my job. |
| 279 | * TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler: In Arc 2, despite still having his crude sense of humor, he drops his AntiVillain status and cooperates with the other nexuses and doesn’t antagonize them like he used to.]] |
| 280 | * TheReveal: Chapter 12 reveals that Marcus is [[spoiler:Phillip Reston's Mirrite spirit. Phillip, being a powerful mirrist, had Marcus grow into the adult form he is now.]] |
