16!!Dehl Sikohlon
17[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_dehl_8525.png]]
18->''"My life for Wadassia."''
19
20Race: Shra-Sikohlon. Class: [[ThePaladin Whiteblade]]. Human-normalized age: 22 (real age: 110-113)
21
22In-game description: ''"A polite, peaceful young shra, he tries to fit in with the people of Wadassia. A gate guard for the city's defense army. A well-balanced fighter with no outstanding strengths or weaknesses, he arrived in Wadassia one day 10 years ago."''
23
24Raised as a Sikohlon, Dehl tries to act like a human. As such, he is extremely orderly and obedient to human rules, even if others look down on him for being a shra. He feels that this is his duty, as he has lived in Wadassia ever since he came to the mainland, and he says it has granted him great hospitality -- although [[UnreliableNarrator one may wonder]] [[StockholmSyndrome about the validity of that claim]]. At the advice of his friend Sicious Qualstio, he creates the guild Six Stars as a way of performing tasks to help the city -- though he is torn between his duties as a city guard and his duty as 'leader' of the guild (a title he disagrees with).
25
26Dehl is also very [[TheStoic stoic]], peaceful, and compassionate as part of his upbringing among the Sikohlon, a clan of pacifists. There seems to be something slightly off about him compared to the rest of them, though, such as his willingness to wade into combat and the sadness in his eyes...
27----
28%%* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Of his father, in self-defense.]]
29%%* AnIcePerson
30* BerserkButton: The si'shra come pretty close to this for him; the only time his normally calm and pacifistic resolve fractures [[spoiler:prior to chapter 6]] is when he's about to confront [[spoiler:the si'shra warden]]. He actually ''wants'' to charge straight into battle and dissuades any attempt at diplomacy.
31** Possibly justified, since all the Sikohlon seem to have been taught from a young age to loathe the si'shra.
32* TheBerserker: [[spoiler:Turns into one after his FreakOut in chapter 6.]]
33* CharacterDevelopment: And ''how!'' By the end of chapter 5, he goes from being a soft-spoken ExtremeDoormat content to do thankless deeds to a celebrity and symbol of hope for the entire world, as well as a capable leader of a large and varied guild.
34** This is symbolically represented by his EleventhHourSuperpower at the end of chapter 5 -- a change in armor from his simple Sikohlon robe to a massive suit of full plate mail, after which he almost looks like a different person. They both have similar color and designs, meaning that, superficially, they represent the same things -- purity, goodness, orderliness, and all that. However, the implications they carry are incredibly different -- one is the attire of a simple pacifist, while one is that of a warrior.
35** Amazingly, this is also ''deconstructed'' in a sense. [[spoiler:Dehl finds that this transformation is not entirely positive -- to take on such a mantle, he must abandon many of his previous ideals, and he himself hates the man he has become.]]
36* ChasteHero: As evidenced by his conversations with Kidra, who says DoubleEntendre lines every five seconds. To be fair, he ''is'' a [[OneGenderRace shra]].
37%%* TheChosenOne: According to Fell, anyway.
38%% * DarkAndTroubledPast
39%%* ExtremeDoormat: To a disturbing degree.
40%%* {{Foil}}: To Qualstio and Skint.
41* FreakOut: [[spoiler:In chapter 6. He does ''not'' take well to seeing the city he had sworn to protect burned to the ground, and makes an almost complete 180 in his personality, becoming a ByronicHero [[TheBerserker Berserker]]. He snaps out of it in the ending, though...we hope.]]
42* TheHero: Subverted due to his passive personality and TechnicalPacifist-ness. He doesn't actually do a whole lot of leading and is barely even able to claim the title of "main character" (as corresponded by the fact that he actually can be [[CantDropTheHero dropped]] from the active party).
43* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Qualstio have shades of this. Justified, since when Dehl came from the mainland, [[spoiler:he had just witnessed his entire family being killed, and had only an infirm Moke for companionship. Qualstio helped him and gave him shelter at the first opportunity, and so he's practically the only family substitute Dehl's had for a decade.]]
44* HotBlooded: [[spoiler:Goes from being a passive ExtremeDoormat to this in chapter 6, and doesn't calm down until after Havan's dead.]]
45* ItsAllMyFault: It's revealed in chapter 6 that he [[spoiler:has major guilt issues over bringing the Blue Plague to the mainland]].
46%%* MagicKnight
47* MightyGlacier: Initially. If you put points into his passive skill line, he becomes a LightningBruiser.
48%%* ThePaladin: Of the non-religious variety.
49* PersonalityPowers: His elemental affinity is Cold.
50* RedOniBlueOni: Dehl is the blue, Qualstio is the red. Lampshaded by Qualstio with their support quote:
51-->"A little cliché, don't ya think?"
52* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:[[AccidentalMurder By accident]]. Also, his father was trying to [[OffingTheOffspring off the offspring]], so it's not like he [[SubvertedTrope had much of a choice]].]]
53* StockholmSyndrome: There are hints that he has this, at least somewhat -- despite his claims that Wadassia has been nothing but hospitable to him, the many scenes where he is reviled and insulted by the townspeople speak otherwise. Also, rather creepily, there are some conversations where it seems like he honestly believes the racist mentality of the Wadassians to be right -- that he is a non-person. It could just be an act to avoid conflict, but there is one scene that suggests otherwise...
54* TheStoic: Lampshaded by Tehgonan, who is baffled by Dehl's insistence that he never feels anger.
55** StoicWoobie: And how.
56** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:His FreakOut.]]
57* TechnicalPacifist: In stark contrast with most Sikohlon, who are {{Actual Pacifist}}s. He's also okay with killing the AlwaysChaoticEvil monsters. [[FridgeLogic Even though they have minds and souls]]. [[spoiler:Deconstructed when he actually ''does'' kill people in front of a [[PerfectPacifistPeople Sikohlon]] child. He gets a rather nasty WhatTheHellHero speech afterwards and is banished from the Sikohlon family.]]
58* [[TechnicolorEyes Technicolor Sclerae]]: Yellow, like most shra.
59* TwentyFourHourArmour: After he gets his armour upgrade.
60* WideEyedIdealist: When he was younger. [[JadeColoredGlasses In the present...]]
61
62!!Zargos D'Rath
63[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_zarg_3913.png]]
64->''[to Skint] "That answers nothin'! Where ye of the Crown or the [[LaResistance Spear]]? Which side bought ye out?"''\
65[...]\
66''"[[spoiler:Skint... if ye just wanted t'help your own kind, why'd you get involved in the Revolt at all?]]"''
67
68Race: Human. Class: [[MightyGlacier Trudge Knight]]. Age: 33
69
70In-game description: "A former soldier and ambassador to neighboring areas, Zargos and his wife want to travel abroad for their own enjoyment. Strong-bodied and proficient at boosting ally morale through Rushing in battle, he is a retired member of the Trudge Knights."
71
72Zargos is a proud member of the Trudge Knights, a group of loyalists who fought for the Wadassian crown when the peasants' revolt broke out 10 years ago. He met his wife, Santes, on the battlefield. He also has experience as an ambassador, and as such, has traveled extensively. Despite his equipment and fighting style, he is actually far calmer and more level-headed than his wife.
73
74Tensions flare between him and Skint when he notices Skint has the same platemail as him. This platemail was only given to those who participated in the war, and it doesn't look like Skint fought for the Crown...
75----
76* BattleCouple: With Santes. Their support combination is centered around this.
77* TheBerserker: You'd ''think'' he'd be this, due to his weapon of choice and [[DumbMuscle stats]]... but he's actually [[SubvertedTrope much more level-headed than his wife]].
78%%** Arguably, Santes might actually fit this, due to her willingness to dive headlong into danger.%%Examples aren't arguable.
79%%* FieryRedhead: Subverted.
80%%* {{Foil}}: To Santes.
81* GeniusBruiser: He's very knowledgeable due to traveling the world before settling down in Wadassia.
82%%* ShockAndAwe
83%%* TwentyFourHourArmour
84* WriteWhoYouKnow: According to WordOfGod, he and Santes were based on a real-life roleplaying couple the developer knew.
85
86!!Santes D'Rath
87[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_sant_8227.png]]
88Race: Human. Class: [[CombatMedic Blessed Corps]]. Age: 29
89
90In-game description: "A well-trained battle priest and gifted healer of the fallen, Santes is highly inquisitive and can converse for days. Adept at curing the body and the soul, and a wielder of wrathful Divine type magic. Veteran of the Blessed Corps association."
91
92Santes is a proud member of the Blessed Corps, a group of healers who have outposts and hospitals all across the world. She is equally interested in the "[[HolyHandGrenade smiting]]" aspect, though. She tends to [[CloudCuckoolander have her head in the clouds]] and be generally fickle and weird, but she is still a loyal and devoted friend to the guild. She is also highly inquisitive, and tends to barrage passerby with questions about whatever city she's in.
93----
94* ActionGirl: To an extent. Though she is a healer, [[CombatMedic she's equally capable at inflicting damage]].
95%%* AllWomenLoveShoes
96* BattleCouple: With Zargos. Their support combination is centered around this.
97* BrainyBrunette: ZigZagged. She ''does'' have a good education and is a member of a respected organization of healers (she even has [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses half-moon spectacles]]). However, she is also a rather...[[CloudCuckoolander eccentric]].
98%%* CloudCuckoolander
99%%* {{Foil}}: To Zargos.
100%%* FourEyesZeroSoul: Inverted.
101%%* LightEmUp
102%%* TwentyFourHourArmour
103* WhiteMagicianGirl: She has the weapon and [[TheMedic skills]], but ''[[SubvertedTrope does not]]'' have the personality. She's also more of a CombatMedic.
104* WriteWhoYouKnow: According to WordOfGod, she and Zargos were based on a real-life roleplaying couple the developer knew.
105
106!!Tehgonan Clapian
107[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_tehg_8484.png]]
108Race: Human. Class: [[LightEmUp Spectrumancer]]. Age: 11
109
110In-game description: "A brash, smarmy young man from a well-to-do family, he is nonetheless incredibly gifted in certain magical arts. Proficient at elemental manipulation, and enchanting or dispelling squares in battle. Presently skipping out on school."
111
112Tehgonan is a BrattyHalfPint who skips his classes to join Six Stars. He is extremely rude and standoffish, as well as [[FantasticRacism a bit of a bigot]] due to his upbringing in a shra-hating family. He and Qualstio take a liking to one another due to their similar outlooks on life.
113
114As one might expect, he goes through [[CharacterDevelopment substantial growth]] throughout the story, eventually [[spoiler:realizing that his prejudices against shra were incorrect, and that he should continue Metzino's research so that everyone can contribute to society equally]].
115
116Also, [[spoiler:this is incredibly obvious, but Taru is his father. He comes from a long line of bigots, which is why he had such negative views of shra pounded into his head.]]
117----
118* CharacterDevelopment: Lampshaded by Qualstio after his sidequest.
119-->"Okay. Who are you, and what have you done with the real Tehgonan?"
120* FullNameUltimatum: After successfully completing his sidequest, this is [[spoiler:played quite straight by his mother when she catches up to him in Fortifel after he spent some indeterminate time (you can do his sidequest early in Chapter 4) with Six Stars without asking proper permission.]]
121-->"Tehgonan [[spoiler:Aloysius.]] Clapian!"
122* GlassCannon: He has the potential to be extremely powerful if you're good at setting up elemental enchantments. However, all of his stats are pathetically low and his skills have high costs.
123* JerkAss: He's ''slightly'' less of a prick than his father, but is still quite the BrattyHalfPint. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets better]].
124* LightEmUp: He can manipulate literal light, plus a bit of [[DishingOutDirt geomancy]] on the side.
125* MagikarpPower: He starts off as a pathetic SquishyWizard, with terrible stats and high-cost, gimmicky abilities. However, if you take the time to level up his "Geomancer" passive skill, he becomes incredibly powerful -- those gimmicky abilities get increased chances of success, making them legitimately useful in combination with other party members' attacks. But best of all is his final skill, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Geo God]]", which gives him ''incredible'' boosts to his Body and Soul stats, which are otherwise pathetically low. Suddenly, he stops being so squishy and his skills can be put to formidable use.
126* ParentalSubstitute: Qualstio seems like he may border on this for Tehgonan while he's in the guild. The two interact a lot, with Qualstio often giving him moral and practical guidance.
127
128!!Fero Flael
129[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_fero_8530.png]]
130->''"Do not let your mind be poisoned by the air [of Kir'Ssha]...[[spoiler:as mine once was]]."''
131
132Race: Fih'jik. Class: [[ColdSniper Huntsman.]] Human-normalized age: 20 (real age: 10)
133
134In-game description: "A friendly but shy Fih'jik hunter of wild game, he seeks to prowl upon the most dangerous creatuers in the wilds of the world."
135
136Fero is a fih'jik who, like most of his kind, left to escape the chaos of his homeland. However, he is also a skilled hunter, and constantly seeks new game to test his skills on.
137----
138%%* AlliterativeName
139* ColdSniper: Played with. [[TheStoic Seeing him display any emotion at all is a rarity]], but he is still quite friendly and polite.
140* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:He was once a Kir'Sshan hunter, but has now cut his ties and is loyal to Do'Ssha.]]
141* {{Multishot}}: One of his skills allows him to hit all enemies in range.
142* PoisonousPerson: Only in regards to his elemental affinity, though.
143* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: He appears this way when he first joins the guild -- his only discerning character trait appears to be being a ColdSniper focusing on the hunt to the exclusion of all else. [[spoiler:When we finally see the fih'jik culture, however, we learn that his views are not a reflection of it -- he was part of a small group of hunters with no major connections to fih'jik culture at large.]]
144* TheStoic: In stark contrast to [[DeadpanSnarker Ques]] and [[BoisterousBruiser Lani]].
145* TechnicolorEyes: His are ''neon green''.
146
147!!Sicious Qualstio
148[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_qual_9373.png]]
149->''"Ohhh, so you've heard of me! I guess I won't have to tell you to stay outta my way."''
150
151Race: Fortian. Class: [[ElementalPowers Invoker]]. Age: 26
152
153In-game description: "Cynical and confident, Qualstio seeks to prove his abilities against the most powerful threats that inhabit the world. Proficient in a variety of kinds of elemental damage, particularly the Heat variety. Intentionally displaced from Fortifel."
154
155Qualstio is a very strange fortian. He left his homeland at a young age, and unlike the stiff, orderly personality that is the norm for fortians, he is extremely frank, matter-of-fact, and somewhat fiery. He also seems to have a dislike of rules and authority. Despite these apparent contradictions, he has been a [[HeterosexualLifePartners valued friend]] of Dehl every since he came to the mainland. It is odd that such conflicting personalities could become such stalwart friends, but perhaps they are more similar than they first appear...
156----
157%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
158%%* DeadpanSnarker: He indulges in this from time to time, although not as often as Ques.%%How?
159%%* {{Foil}}: To Dehl.
160* CatchPhrase: When characters express confusion over another character's decisions, his response is usually "I think I have an idea."
161* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Dehl have shades of this. Justified, since when Dehl came from the mainland, [[spoiler:he had just witnessed his entire family being killed, and had only an infirm Moke for companionship. Qualstio helped him and gave him shelter at the first opportunity, and so he's practically the only family substitute Dehl's had for a decade.]]
162* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In fact, you will slowly realize that he is actually [[spoiler:''more moral than Dehl''. Dehl is definitely more polite, but due to his StockholmSyndrome and ExtremeDoormat-ness, he is complicit in horrible things such as the slave trade, for no other reason than because they fall under the law's jurisdiction.]]
163* MetaGuy: To a degree.
164* ParentalSubstitute: He may border on this for Tehgonan while the kid is away from his parents. The two interact a lot, with Qualstio often giving him moral and practical guidance.
165* PersonalityPowers: Oh yes. Also inverted, though, as he has a Cold-elemental spell too.
166* PlayingWithFire: Subverted, though, since he has an ice spell as well.
167* RedOniBlueOni: Qualstio is the red, Dehl is the blue. Lampshaded by Qualstio with their support quote:
168-->"A little cliché, don't ya think?"
169
170!!Lani Derra
171[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_lani_6505.png]]
172->''"My life is discipline! Your mission becomes mine. Just tell me what to crush!"''
173
174Race: Fih'jik. Class: [[StoneWall Wandertower]]. Human-normalized age: 26 (real age: 13)
175
176A boisterous and incredibly tough fih'jik who joins Six Stars after being rescued from ttchitra and realizing she has nowhere to go. Though she was born in Do'Ssha, she has lived in Nal for most of her life.
177----
178%%* ActionGirl
179%%* BoisterousBruiser
180* MightyGlacier: She's very slow, but rather powerful.
181* ShockAndAwe: She doesn't actually have any powers like this, but it is her elemental affinity.
182* TechnicolorEyes: Blue-green, like most fih'jik.
183%%* TwentyFourHourArmour
184
185!!Sirush
186[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_siru_3750.png]]
187->'''''Dehl:''' You will be able to save many people if you join us.\
188'''Sirush:''' [[spoiler:Myself...included.]]''
189
190Race: Human. Class: [[ProfessionalKiller Professional]]. Age: 32
191
192Sirush is a strange, [[ThePerfectionist perfectionistic]], rather crazy man who speaks in [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker fragmented sentences]]. He is always incredibly tense, and on the lookout for 'stalkers'. He claims that it is unsafe for Six Stars to associate with him, and that whoever is after him will take out them as well. He refuses to disclose personal information, or his purpose for doing anything.
193----
194%%* BadassInANiceSuit
195* CloudCuckooLander: Until his personal sidequest has been completed, he does not seem to be reading from the same script as everyone else. He seems to be perpetually in his own little world and probably has very little understanding as to what's even going on most of the time.
196* ContractOnTheHitman: The reason why he's always on the lookout.
197* DarkAndTroubledPast
198* GlassCannon: Sort of. Due to the way stat gains are handled, one can simply upgrade his defense, so that isn't a problem. However, all his skills consume very high amounts of health, and all of them are short-range, causing him to get attacked a lot as well.
199* HatesSmallTalk: On the very few occasions he speaks to his teammates, it's almost always a robotic tactical analysis of the situation.
200%%* {{Mangst}}
201* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Possibly a result of his derangement, although it could also be [[spoiler:the dialect of his assassin clique, evidenced by the fact that the assassins stalking him in his dream speak as he does, whereas others in the dream do not.]]
202
203!!Kidra Silvery
204[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_kidr_6734.png]]
205->''"A home is destined to be fled."''
206
207Race: Human. Class: [[FragileSpeedster Flashcurve]]. Age: Undisclosed
208
209A strange girl from Nal who talks in near-constant {{Double Entendre}}s. Six Stars reluctantly allows her to join, though they sense something is amiss about her. She claims to be a regular girl, but is oddly talented at combat, and has extremely rare and expensive "sleeksteel" armor.
210----
211%%* ActionGirl
212* InterspeciesRomance: Implied in her support quotes with Ques and Kulkumatz. Also implied in her first conversation with Dehl.
213* PersonalityPowers: Her elemental affinity is Heat.
214* PlayingWithFire: She doesn't actually have any powers like this, but it is her elemental affinity.
215
216!!Halia Falitza
217[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_fali_7803.png]]
218->''"I... I see... through... the un-seeable..."''
219
220Race: Sactifellian. Class: [[SpoonyBard Wonder Caller]]. Age: 18
221
222Falitza was thrown into [[BedlamHouse Sanctifel]] after trading her mind away to [[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow peer into the unseeable]] because [[EmoTeen she got bored with her studies]]. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Her condition is ever-worsening]]. With the assistance of Six Stars, she can be liberated from Sanctifel. In a sudden flash of sanity, she manages to sign up and join their ranks. However, she quickly returns to spouting nonsense.
223
224She enjoys babbling about "the sky", "the blue", and "fate", among other strange things. Though her mad phrases may seem like incoherent nonsense, there may be a few genuine truths to it for those who look carefully...
225----
226%%* AnIcePerson
227* TheFatalist: "The sky portends this, and all things." "The sky does not approve." "I must not disobey [the sky]!" And so on... [[spoiler:Actually, [[SubvertedTrope not really]]. It's part of her act.]]
228* FieryRedhead: Inverted. Her element is actually Cold, in fact! [[spoiler:Actually DoubleSubverted; she could indeed be described as rather fiery in her ending scene.]]
229* InfallibleBabble: Her cryptic predictions. [[spoiler:Subverted, as she's actually sane and just analyzing the situation.]]
230%%* MadOracle: [[spoiler:Subverted.]]
231%%* ObfuscatingInsanity
232* TheOphelia: [[spoiler:Subverted, of course. She acts like one of these, but she's actually entirely sane and faking.]]
233* PowerOfTheVoid: She apparently channels the "power of nonexistence", which manifests as some really weird spells, [[MadOracle at the cost of her sanity]]. Technically, though, her elemental affinity is [[AnIcePerson cold]].[[note]]Which is fitting, since "cold" is just the absence of heat energy.[[/note]]
234%%* StrategySchmategy
235* WaifProphet: She can see the future, [[RealityWarper rend a hole in reality]], rip a being's life essence in twain, and [[{{Telepathy}} peer into the minds of others]]. She is also a [[MadOracle complete nutcase]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that her powers aren't innate; she got them by [[ViolationOfCommonSense experimenting with dangerous and unknown magic]] and "[[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow peering into the unknown]]".
236
237!!Ques Mahesto (real name: [[spoiler:Seku Muezza]])
238[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_ques_2594.png]]
239Race: Fih'jik-fortian. Class: [[DifficultButAwesome Tactician]]. Human-normalized age: 68 (real age: 34)
240
241Ques is a renown and published historian who is hired as the guild manager of Six Stars. However, after the initial year contract expires, he decides to join the guild proper and prove his tactical prowess in battle. He has a sharp tongue and biting wit, abilities he can actually put to use in battle.
242----
243* CoolOldGuy: He's 68 in fih'jik years, but he's still a good fighter.
244%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
245%%* DeadpanSnarker: Oh yes.
246%%* MissionControl: For the first half of the game.
247%%* NonActionGuy: [[SubvertedTrope Until he joins the guild proper, that is]].
248% TechnicolorEyes: He has blue sclerae.
249* YouFightLikeACow: One of his passive abilities revolves around this. In fact, he's so effective at it, it can break the target's will to fight.
250
251!!Moke
252[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_moke_5936.png]]
253->''"If I continue to wield such vileness, shall I one day become completely consumed by it?"''
254
255Race: Shra. Class: [[{{Plaguemaster}} Fetormancer]]. Human-normalized age: 42 (real age: 210-214)
256
257Moke was the servant of Dehl's father, and was taken along with Dehl to the mainland. However, he was infected with the Blue Plague, which took a toll on his memory, even though he survived. He now cannot remember anything before coming to serve the Sikohlons. He also has a strange condition that causes him to ooze foul, noxious slime from his scales. This condition drove him to study natural flora and poisons, and it eventually became his specialty. He is also highly intelligent and knowledgeable, as well as quite possibly having the greatest magical talent among all shra (who cannot use magic normally) on the planet. However, despite [[PoisonousPerson his element of choice]] and imposing physical frame, he is very compassionate and meek.
258
259[[spoiler:Tezkhra seems to recognize Moke and takes an interest to him, implying that Moke may be related to the creature that killed him. Also of note is that, in his sidequest, there appears to be a council of shra with greater magical talents, like him. He denies their offer to join the council, though, because he feels he still has a duty to his friends. What these "greater shra" actually are is a mystery. No definitive answer to either mystery is within [[SequelHook this game]], though.]]
260----
261%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
262* DitzyGenius: He is intelligent and oddly powerful, but he definitely lacks wisdom and social skills.
263* FourEyesZeroSoul: Inverted.
264* GlassCannon: He's one of the most powerful and versatile attackers in the game, and though you''ll likely make him suitable for soaking up Body (and, to a lesser extent, Mind) attacks, his defenses start out virtually nonexistent.
265* TheGlassesComeOff: Averted.
266* PersonalityPowers: Maimed, stomped on, and tossed out a window. Slightly reconstructed however, when his sidequest reveals the constructive and positive aspects of the Noxious element.

277
278Race: Shra-Sikohlon. Class: [[ConfusionFu Whitewind]]. Human-normalized age: 27 (real age: 135-139)
279
280A surprisingly feisty Sikohlon who doesn't object to charging into battle, but does object to actual killing. After he is sent off into the world, he makes a living by raiding pirate and slave vessels, with occasional help from the Wadassian navy. However, he and his crew fall on hard times, and have to make an honest living in Nal (or as honest a living one can make there, anyway) to raise enough money to repair their ship. While there, he comes across a fortian by the name of Padrino Metzino, who asks if he can come along with them.

296Race: Shra. Class: [[MagicKnight Tu'Nuok]]. Human-normalized age: 167 (real age: 835-839)
297
298An impossibly old shra who has been around since before the First Reconstruction. However, he knows he does not have long before he dies, and at first, his only request to Six Stars is to guide him to a place where his spirit can pass on peacefully. However, he is so impressed by their wisdom and the tales they tell of the outside world that he decides to join them, desiring to see the world that he has neglected for so long.
299----
300* CoolOldGuy: He's ''one hundred sixty-seven'' in shra years, but still alive and kicking.
301* GrumpyOldMan: He acts like this at first, chiding Dehl and Alito as being weak due to their lack of instinct, and being generally terse and disagreeable. [[spoiler:He becomes nicer once he joins the guild, though.]]

312Race: Fih'jik. Class: [[TheMedic Sun Priest]]. Human-normalized age: 19 (real age: 9.5)
313
314A sun priest of Kir'Ssha, though he was born in Do'Ssha. He eventually decides to [[DefectorFromDecadence go with his conscience]] and flees to Do'Ssha, though he is hated there for his status as a Kir'Sshan. He agrees to join Six Stars for protection, and so he can hold his head high once more.
315----
316* TheDandy: If you point at him in Quest Mode, he'll ''always'' be concerned with his shiny clothes. This might not be caused by vanity, instead being required for a Sun Priest, though.

327
328Alito is the well-educated servant of Metzino, and is treated much better than other shra. Because of his education, he is able to become the guild manager of Six Stars after Ques retires. Unlike Ques, he is very kind and polite (though he still has a sharp tongue in a few instances).

338->''"Truthfully... I have lived more in the last Surface-year than in any time before."''
339
340Race: Shra-God. Class: [[OverratedAndUnderleveled Deity]]. Human-normalized age: Indeterminate
341
342This character is first found as a spirit in the Drop, guarded by a being who claims that he's not part of the world. Six Stars brings the spirit to [[{{Necromancer}} Rulian]], who manages to resurrect his body from the spirit's memory. The shra that appears introduces itself as "Tezkhra", to the shock of everyone else. However, despite the name, Tezkhra actually seems to be very calm, orderly, and polite -- practically the opposite of the historical Tezkhra. He says he really ''is'' a god, though, and is the creator of the shra people. His memory is hazy from dying and all, but travelling the world brings some of it back. He says that the last thing he remembers is being killed by a si'shra, so it is most likely that this killer stole his name and became the god of the si'shra religion.
343
344...Actually, most of that is only half-true. Tezkhra is not actually divine -- instead, he is one of the SufficientlyAdvancedAliens who terraformed and populated the planet in the first place. He manages to establish contact with his old friends in the ending, and tells them "IChooseToStay", even though that means he will grow old and die.
345----
346* AGodAmI: Though he acts more like, "[[ShroudedInMyth Wait, I'm a god]]? Uh...sure, I'll go with that."
347%%* ArmCannon
348* BadassBoast: Surprising, considering he's TheStoic normally.
349-->'''[[spoiler:Havan]]:''' [[WhoAreYou Who are you]]?\
350'''Tezkhra:''' I am Tezkhra, creator of the shra people, and a god and overseer of your world...
351* CrypticConversation: Or rather, cryptic monologue. Even when we do see his thoughts, they often take the form of this, using vague language and trailing off before fully explaining anything. His conversations with the Watchers are a straight example, though.
352* DarkAndTroubledPast: He ''died'', for crying out loud!
353%%* MightyGlacier: One of the reasons why he's OverratedAndUnderleveled.
354* OverratedAndUnderleveled: He specializes mainly in [[UselessUsefulSpell status effects and gimmicks]], which, due to the strategical nature of the game, are more useful than most, but still makes him fall behind other characters that can dish out significantly more damage. Also, he's [[MightyGlacier slower than molasses in January]], and in a game where speed is the OneStatToRuleThemAll, that hampers him quite a bit. (This can't even be cured by character support like with other {{Mighty Glacier}}s, since he has no support combinations.)
355* PersonalityPowers: His elemental affinity is "Order".
356* TheQuietOne: When we are privy to his thoughts, though, he can be described as quite the chatterbox.
357* ShroudedInMyth: He's actually the ''complete inverse'' of the mythological Tezkhra.
358* StoneWall: Unfortunately, in this game, the best defense is a good offense, so his talents are not particularly useful -- this is the other reason why he's OverratedAndUnderleveled. He's virtually unkillable, especially since his abilities do not [[CastFromHitPoints consume any energy]], but only has one offensive ability that ''isn't even modified by attack stats!''

367
368Havan is the Prime Captain of the Blue Guard. Like Dehl, he is a steadfast defender of Wadassia, and, in fact, the two become fast friends when they meet. Havan is a very upright, law-abiding young man who can come off as [[LargeHam a bit melodramatic sometimes]]. He also seems to know Fell, which is a bit odd.

376
377The Blue Guard is a fellow guild of Wadassia, led by Havan. Due to his friendship with Dehl, the two guilds vow to help each other and, by extension, the rest of the city. The Blue Guard follows in the footsteps Six Stars around the world, but they begin to appear out of their depth before long.
378
379Havan's second-in-command and lifelong friend is the sorceress Adi. The third member of their guild is a shra named Cort, who, in fact, seems to embrace -- not resent -- subservience and obedience to his masters.

391
392Metzino is a friend of Qualstio's, and agrees to harbor the guild during their stay in Fortifel. He is (in)famous for his radical theories and inventions that rely on sources of energy other than magic. He has managed to stay out of trouble so far -- and has even risen to a prestigious rank -- but tensions between him and the Councillords are mounting, because this technology could forever change society...

400->''"I trade in many things, as I said before. This land is a fount of riches, [[VerbalTic hza nek]]?"''
401
402Yacatec is a well-to-do shra and the head of the Berylbrine Outpost. The presence of a surname is rather odd, though, as shra don't normally have one... Six Stars attempts to gain favor with him when they decide to help the outpost, but it is soon revealed that, since the Berylbrine island is the homeland of the shra, [[BoomerangBigot slaves are among Yacatec's main exports]]. This disgusts the guild, but they are forced to comply with his demands, since he's the man in charge.

410* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:He's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold because he has a loving family.]] {{Defied}} by Qualstio, who [[spoiler:still thinks he's a horrible person, even if he does have a family.]]
411* PardonMyKlingon: He does this twice; Early in chapter 4, he calls Tehgonan a "Zin d'an"[[note]]It literally means "little brother" in Shra, but because si'shra use it to refer to ordinary shra, its slang use is a serious insult[[/note]], at which point Dehl snaps, "Yacatec, please do not call him that." Later, after the camp is [[spoiler:threatened to be washed away by magical rain]], he snaps at Ques, flinging what is presumably a heinous insult at him in his native language.
412* TechnicolorEyes: Yellow, like most shra.

420Syri is the last of the Flightblades, a group of assassins who defended Do'Ssha against their neighbors. She is highly intelligent and very skilled at stealth and subterfuge. When she overhears Six Stars expressing concern over the mounting tension between the two fih'jik cities, she offers to help. Also, [[spoiler:Syri is the sister of Ques/Seku, who used to be the leader of the Flightblades.

433A young fortian inventor working on {{Magitek}} devices, specifically ones that count latent magical energies in the air[[note]]in gameplay terms, this allows you to keep a certain percentage of the Chain between battles[[/note]]. He repeatedly appears giving you (optional) {{Fetch Quest}}s for his materials. He finishes his work in chapter 4, though, and he has his tearful farewells with Six Stars afterwards.

443Mahk is the First Father -- the original founder of the Sikohlon clan. He sent the first three Sikohlon fathers out into the world a few centuries ago, but has noticed that the Sikohlon ideals haven't stuck. He has decided to raise a new batch of children to try again. He makes his home in Do'Ssha, and steadfastly upholds his ideals -- not only does he disallow any weapons to be brought into his home, any arguing must be done outside as well. Children are so impressionable, after all, and he must be careful to raise them properly this time...

470->''"Your mouth may belie you, but perhaps your veins will speak truth to me instead!"''\
471--'''Skint'''
472
473The Scourge Clad is a guild of sorts that originated in Nal -- though it is composed of only two people, the monstrous shra Skint and the quiet, secretive fih'jik Aryn. Skint is very cold, terse, and rude toward Six Stars -- Dehl in particular, who he calls a "whelpling". Skint also has a sword lodged through his back -- he claims it was put there by [[EtTuBrute one he had sworn to protect]], and is now permanently embedded in his back due to his extreme HealingFactor. His motives are mysterious, and he does not seem to abide by many laws or morals. Zargos also notices that he has magma-forged platemail, which was only given to those who participated in the Nalian Revolt -- and he doubts Skint fought for the Crown...
474
475Aryn is even more of a mystery. She speaks in whispers, and only in the fih'jik language, yet she seems wholly devoted to Skint and his cause.
476-----

486* TechnicolorEyes: Skint has yellow sclerae, like most shra. We never see Aryn's eyes, but she probably has blue or green, like most fih'jik.

493
494As a Councillord, Pazzato is unrivaled in mastery of his element. Of the Councillords, he is actually the least antagonistic toward Six Stars, even casually asking them for help with a task. [[spoiler:However, this is merely a clever ruse to distract them while he duels Metzino. For he has a [[FeudingFamilies blood feud]] with the Metzino line, and eventually wins the duel due to his signature [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] technique. Qualstio is enraged when he sees this, and, along with the guild, avenges Metzino's death soon after.]]
495-----
496* FriendlyEnemy: As a Councillord, he is opposed to Qualstio and Metzino, but, compared to the other Councillords, he seems pretty ambivalent toward them and even allows them to partake in the light harvest.

545A young man "hired" by Rehm's crew in the prologue. He is naive, but quickly grows attached to his new comrades. Unlike others, he is very accepting and sympathetic towards the shra.

553!!Vasra (real name: Sara)
554[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/por_vasr_5629.png]]
555->''[to Rehm] "Good luck. [[DeadpanSnarker Me and Clapian will go pick out a suitable flower arrangement for your grave.]]"''
556
557Sara is Rehm's second-in-command. They have apparently known each other for a long time -- enough for Rehm to give her a nickname in shra language, "Vasra". It's never explained what the nickname means. Sara tends to be more perceptive and matter-of-fact than the rest of the crew.
558----
559%%* ActionGirl
560%%* DeadpanSnarker
561* DisposableWoman: The effects of the trope are inverted, though. [[spoiler:Usually, the DisposableWoman's death spurs a hero into action and vengeance. However, Sara's death instead causes Rehm to go into a HeroicBSOD and [[DrivenToSuicide drives him to suicide]].]]
562* TheLancer: She serves as a down-to-earth counterbalance to Rehm, who doesn't take many things seriously.
563* OnlySaneWoman: Probably sees herself as this among the crew -- her companions are a naive newcomer who's out of his depth and a [[WideEyedIdealist happy-go-lucky idealist]].
564* KilledOffForReal
565%%* SnarkToSnarkCombat: With Rehm, on occasion.

568!!Rulian
569[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fac_ruli_5700.png]]
570
571A strange young man inhabiting a cave in the Mudlands outside of Nal. He is very placid and [[CloudCuckoolander rather airheaded]]. Rulian has an incredibly magical talent -- [[{{Necromancer}} reanimating the dead]]. Unfortunately, he does not realize that they are terrorizing the town nearby -- not because of neglect, but because he doesn't even seem to know there ''is'' a town nearby.
572
573Or that the six elements exist, for that matter...
574----
575* {{Necromancer}}: [[SubvertedTrope However]], he's not evil or malicious in the slightest, and his powers are sort of accidental.
576%%* NonActionGuy
577* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like eighteen at most, but he has apparently been alive since ''before magic was classified into elements''.[[note]]''Over a millennium'' according to Ques' glossary.[[/note]]
578
579!!Fell
580[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fac_fell_8692.png]]
581->''"It is all [[ArcWords scope]], Dehl. [[CentralTheme How far back must you stand before you can see 'everything']]?"''
582
583Fell is a mysterious old woman who appears to have some sort of precognitive ability, and can see the full truth of everything that's going on. She assists Dehl and his guild by giving him "tests" that can drastically affect the entire world. Her motives and how much she really knows is uncertain, though she claims to take orders from an even higher being known as "The Voice Himself". The other Watchers refer to her as their "mother" -- whether this can be taken at face value, is a metaphor, or something else is unknown.

592!!The Watchers (Nath, Kott, and Donz)
593https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fac_nath_3029.png[[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fac_kott_342.png]]
594->'''''Nath:''' [Donz] will not take kindly to knowing his own Watch is flawed, or to be broken.\
595'''Kott:''' Yep. He's pretty serious about being right. He's the only one of us left who still cares.''
596
597The three Watchers are Fell's "sons". Whether that can be taken literally, is a metaphor, or something else is unknown. They each watch a different time; Nath is the Watcher of the Past, Kott is the Watcher of the Present, and Donz is the Watcher of the Future. They each share their knowledge with Fell, which is why she seems all-knowing. However, Donz either will not or cannot speak, because, as Fell says, words of the future must not be spoken to anyone.[[note]]This is why he doesn't have a CharacterPortrait.[[/note]]
598
599Nath and Kott appear to be rather uninterested in their duties, as they play a strange board game all day. Kott also says that he does not Watch the chosen ones like he's supposed to, because that would "take the fun out of meeting them in person". Donz appears to be the only one who still takes his duties seriously, though, as Watcher of the Future, that is a difficult job...
600
601[[spoiler:Havan kills all of the Watchers when he ascends to confront Six Stars and they block his path. Curiously, it looks like Kott and Nath never moved at all; Kott's corpse is slumped over the game board, and Nath's corpse is still in his chair.]]
602----
603%%* ElderlyImmortal: Nath.
604* TheFatalist: All of them. Justified with Donz, who literally ''can'' see what's fated to occur.
605%%* {{Leitmotif}}: Shared with Fell.
606* MysticalWhiteHair: Kott, despite appearing fairly young, has white hair, likely because of this trope.
607%%* NonActionGuy: All three of them.
608* OlderThanTheyLook: They're all apparently immortal and have therefore been around for millennia, yet even Nath only looks like he's in his fifties or sixties.
609%%* SacrificialLion: All of them.
610* ThemeNaming: Along with Fell, they all have four-letter names.
611%%* TheVoiceless: Donz (although he may actually be TheSpeechless).
