Line #35 Characters/TheWarOfEustrath


1	Luke Braferd
2
3	GEAR: Huben Draknir (Dragon)
4
5	* TheAce: Until Tiana comes along, he's the strongest Wefradian Knight out there, even with his GEAR damaged to a crippling degree. This isn't to mention what happens ''after'' he's back at full power.
6	* AloofBigBrother: Strangely enough, he's actually younger than Frederick, and is also the hero himself. His attitude fits quite well, at least to begin with.
7	* BadassLongcoat: As the cutscenes show, Luke wears a blue longcoat, often drawn with DramaticWind, no matter the situation.
8	* CharacterDevelopment: Luke appears to be quite the unsentimental workaholic, but as the story progresses, [[spoiler: he grows fond of Tiana, and eventually shows just how much he actually cares for his friends.]]
9	* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments of merciless verbal jabbing, even at himself a couple of times.
10	* DentedIron: Huben Draknir has its chest mashed up something horrible at the beginning of the game. His elemental sphere is so damaged that, as Harvey puts it, it's amazing he can even move. After the MidSeasonUpgrade, all one can do is wonder why Wefrad hadn't won the war before Drakey got so beat up.
11	* HeroesPreferSwords: All of his physical attacks are executed with DualWielding swords.
12	* LargeHam: Inexplicably dips into this once, which is immediately lampshaded by his teammates.
13	* LightningBruiser: Huben Draknir basically fights like the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Alt Eisen]] with two swords, with above-average mobility paired with powerful attacks (Blazing Blade!) and complemented with two nifty ranged attacks.
14	* OfficerAndAGentleman: To the point that even with the cute Tiana unconscious in his GEAR cockpit, he didn't even consider doing anything to her.
15	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rather dismissive with Tiana, once its sure that she's safe. This goes for pretty much everybody else (Tys gets it BAD), until one of his friends or allies is in danger. Then the gold comes out.
16	* PlayingWithFire: His GEAR is a Fire Elemental, and can shoot dragon-head shaped fireballs.
17	* RedBaron: His moniker: 'The Blue Wing', is, as lampshaded by Sarah, synonymous with Death to Kradionese soldiers. Considering how only [[spoiler: Ascard and an Outbursted Wenceslas in Celtakroth]] can top out his firepower [[spoiler: and neither can when Luke himself goes into Outburst]], this is easily justified.
18	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When the heroes stumble on some Kradionese soldiers toying around with some refugees. His friends, especially Tiana, are rightfully scared of him at this point. Of course, this pales in comparison to what happens when [[spoiler: Wenceslas kills Harvey.]]
19
20	----
21
22	Tiana Anesis
23
24	GEAR: Tianerx (Thunder)
25
26	* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Is disappointed that Luke never tried anything with her while she was passed out in Huben Draknir's cockpit.
27	* BlowYouAway: ShockAndAwe falls under Air in this story.
28	* CharacterDevelopment: She's rather immature (and willing to use words to hurt others) at the beginning. As the story progresses, however, she matures greatly. However, depending on the player's choices, her relationship with power may go either well, or will go GoneHorriblyRight. Her [[spoiler: RoaringRampageOfRevenge]] plays into this a great deal.
29	* CuteBruiser: She doesn't look like the type to be involved in warfare, but she's a full-on LightningBruiser, literally.
30	* FallingIntoTheCockpit: How she ends up a GEAR pilot.
31	* LightningBruiser: Tianerx, the GEAR of ''Thunder'' has excellent mobility, powerful attacks, and above-average armor coupled with nice thick shields and great evasion.
32	* TheLoad: Luke initially (translation: for about two days) sees her as dead weight whose only function in battle is to require protection. Once it's found out that she can sync with the Guardian-class GEAR of Thunder, however, no one ever thinks of her as deadweight ever again.
33	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Loses her cool when she witnesses the brutality of a Kradionese officer.
34	* ShockAndAwe: Tianerx is Thunder Elemental. It's nickname is, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SarcasmMode surprise surpise,]] The Thunderbird.
35
36	----
37
38	Sarah Pye
39
40	GEAR: Rhimstol (Air)
41
42	* ACupAngst: She's jealous of the better-endowed ladies in the cast.
43	* BlowYouAway: Rhimstol is Air elemental.
44	* BornUnlucky: If she attempts to tell the future, a good reading will cause the opposite to happen, and a bad one will simply happen. Trying to foretell for the other side simply causes a doubled helping of hurt to fall on the heroes.
45	* ButtMonkey: Her attempts to fight over Luke with Tiana have her failing horribly every single time.
46	* FragileSpeedster: Rhimstol is very evasive and high on mobility, yet light on armor.
47	* UnwantedAssistance: Her attempts at fortune-telling only invite disaster, up until she was banned from doing so. Luke ponders if her talent should be used to foretell disasters for the Kradionese Army, though that would require her doing a FaceHeelTurn.
48
49	----
50
51	Harvein Darlington
52
53	GEAR: Yughelle (Earth)
54
55	* DishingOutDirt: Yughelle is Earth elemental.
56	* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]
57	* MightyGlacier: Yughelle has superb durability between its generous shields/hitpoints and armor, as well as some pretty powerful attacks, but is hampered by low mobility (primarily in a lack of flight), no ranged post-move attacks, and limited ammunition.
58
59	----
60
61	Frederick Braferd
62
63	GEAR: Devikher (Sword)
64
65	* BigBrotherMentor: While he may not look like the best candidate, Fred actually does look out for his younger brother, especially in the art of relaxation, thus keeping away from the undesirable SamaritanSyndrome.
66	* TheLancer: While Luke, the Hero, is rather reserved and serious, Frederick goes about life however he wants to, and is has a much looser personality. He also takes over leadership of the heroes while Luke and Tiana go ahead to face Wenceslas.
67
68	----
69
70	Evelin Ethelstan
71
72	GEAR: Yudenthile (Wood)
73
74	* ActualPacifist: Unlike the other characters, her Will drops whenever she attacks or anyone scores a kill - the only way for her Will to be improved is to have her heal and dodge attacks successfully (Or, strangely, inflict or suffer a critical hit).
75	* LegacyCharacter: Her father was Yudenthile's original rider. He gave it to her before he left to organize a resistance movement. The way she pilots Yudenthile is quite different, however. (Her emphasis is on support and defense, whereas her father would have used Yudenthile's abilities offensively) In the epilogue, [[spoiler: most people believe that it was her father that fought alongside Luke. She's all to happy to pretend that was the case.]]
76	* SilkHidingSteel: She's quite the belle (as described in-game), more so than any other character. When it comes down to it, however, she shows the determination to end the war once and for all.
77
78	----
79
80	Elvin Fergus
81
82	GEAR: Darmthir (Blaze)
83
84	* BoisterousBruiser: Though Duran can top him out on this, Elvin's plenty rambunctious for the good guys.
85	* PlayingWithFire: Hmmm...
86
87	----
88
89	Clause Owen
90
91	GEAR: Ghallianne (Beast)
92
93	* CulturedBadass: While his GEAR is 'The Beast', he's actually a cultured scholar when he's not out bashing heads, or mechas. [[spoiler: When the party fights Ascard, he asks for information regarding the Optimus out of curiosity, before the battle begins]]
94	* OlderThanTheyLook: Clause has been fighting longer than than Luke and his friends have been alive, but he sure don't look it.
95
96	----
97
98	Arvel Hurst
99
100	GEAR: Juthersse (Blood)
101
102	* {{Determinator}}: An in-game example. In battle, there is nothing that will cause his Will to drop. His rage will only build as the battle continues...
103	* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He sacrifices himself to keep Wenceslas from utterly destroying the heroes.]]
104
105	----
106
107	Robin Randal
108
109	GEAR: Wiveather (Sky) or Zeeyown (Gravity)
110
111
112	----
113
114	Esteban Sol
115
116	GEAR: Riebenhile (Dream)
117
118	* MakingASplash: He's the only Water-elemental that you can get to join your BadassCrew.
119
120	----
121
122	Tys
123
124	GEAR: Amorsyth (Beauty)
125
126	* LethalJokeCharacter: Her GEAR's first appearance inspires awe...at how utterly useless it is. However, once she trains enough, she becomes a completely untouchable harbinger of doom, except against the actual Doombringer.
127	* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Fairies are what humans call them, and they're attendants of the elementals, who live in elemental GEARs.
128
129	----
130
131	Wenceslas Diefendorf
132
133	GEAR: Ignar Trakhis (Heaven)[[spoiler: and later, either Hekanticlus (Mechanical) or Celtakroth (Devil)]]
134
135	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the Kradionese is no slouch in battle, his signature GEAR being a powerful boss.
136	* BigBad: While it might appear that he is TheDragon to the king of Kradion, its revealed pretty quick that he's a disposable puppet of Wenceslas's.
137	* DirtyOldMan: Is painted as one by Luke and Tiana as a result of his creepy-sounding invitations to defect over to the Kradionese Army.
138	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: He goes through three GEARS, each stronger and more intimidating than the last, before he finally falls.]]
139	* [[spoiler:WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He initially seeks power to better his country. However, by the time of the story, it's clear he's lost sight of his goals, and begun to seek power for its own, corrupting sake.]]
140
141	----
142
143	Ellion Houghstrom
144
145	GEAR: Fraghion (Flame)
146
147	* LargeHam: Whenever you fight him, his in-battle comments always go off the screen.
148	* HeelFaceTurn: Certain in-game choices will result in his defection to the heroes' side.
149	* LightningBruiser: His attack power is around that of Tianerx and Huben Draknir, despite the fact that Fraghion isn't strong enough to be a Guardian-class GEAR. One possible storyline route notes that Fraghion is ''almost'' a Guardian.
150	* TheDragon: Wenceslas notes that he was grooming Ellion to be his successor, if Ellion does in fact pull a HeelFaceTurn.
151
152	----
153
154	Millia Aldenhart
155
156	GEAR: Phalarinx (Storm)
157
158	%%* FragileSpeedster: She has the highest movement speed in the game, as well as an insane dodge rate.
159	* DarkMagicalGirl: She's a highly skilled GEAR rider and commander, but her social life is pretty much limited to Ellion. She rarely engages much in conversation, and simply follows orders in battle. [[spoiler: If she does a HeelFaceTurn, then her story will focus on CharacterDevelopment from this.]]
160	* HeelFaceTurn: Whichever of the two (Ellion and Millia) Tiana targets will eventually change sides.
161	* LadyOfWar: She's the only female member of the Magnificent Four, and fits the personality requirements quite well.
162
163	----
164
165	Duran Yager
166
167	GEAR: Razhikale (Iron)
168
169	* TheBerserker: While not out of control, he truly loves the thrill of battle. In his final appearance, however, he fully takes on the craziness of this trope.
170	* TheBrute: He's contrasted quite a bit with Harvey and Yughelle.
171
172	----
173
174	Felder Agros
175
176	GEAR: Inishiard (Ice)
177
178	* AnIcePerson: Hmmm...
179	* ColdSniper: Inishiard's attacks are mostly meant for use at range, and Felder's abilities (Moving Shot, Aim...) all complement this.
180	* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Even though he's a villain, he sacrifices himself just as selflessly for Wenceslas as Arvel and Harvey had done for the heroes. Ellion explains that while Wenceslas recruited the rest of the Four, he'd actually adopted Felder from the streets.]]
181	* MoodSwinger: Normally, it is easily seen why his GEAR is Ice elemental. However, provoke him even the slightest bit, and he'll start having a case of 'verbal diarrhea', as lampshaded by Sarah. [[ClusterFBomb Swears]] and [[{{Angrish}} gibberish]] abound in this case.
182
183	----
184
185	Ascard
186
187	GEAR: Legnus (Doom)
188
189	* TheAce: His first appearance is to destroy multiple [=GEARs=] simultaneously with a single area effect attack. This ability is the providence of Guardian-class [=GEARs=] (i.e. Ignar Trakhis, Huben Draknir, and Tianerx), but Legnus is by far the strongest seen (being shown to be a complete Optimus at the story's end).
190	** Also, while the usual [=GEAR=] rider's stats aren't too far from 100, (Tiana's SYNC stat being the highest, at 125, Ascard's lowest is his defense, at 147. His SYNC is a whopping 171.)
191	** Add to that Legnus's insane stats, and the sheer power of his attacks (3100, with Dies Irae, not counting in the 120% effectiveness towards all elements), and it's quite easy to understand how Ascard earned the title Doombringer.
192	* DarkIsNotEvil: He more or less falls under TrueNeutral. His only foes are those with 'power'. Specifically, those who are becoming Optimi themselves. This is, as noted by Eshranah and himself, the very duty of the Optimus, to seal (destroy) all others.
193	-> "The power of the Knight [=GEARs=] is already more than enough. The world doesn't need an Optimus."
