Baruoki
General Tropes
- Childhood Friends: Aldo, Feinne, Darunis, May, and Nomar go way back since they were children. Similarly, as his Another Style quest reveals, Victor has his own in the form of the Mayor of Baruoki, May's grandmother, King Miglance's father, and Louise.
- A Day in the Limelight: The Ensemble "Heroes of Bygone Days and the Engraved Oath" centers on Aldo and his friends' relationship and what stays the same among them even after all of them have grown up. It also gives May her 5-star upgrade and her own personal weapon.
Aldo
See Story Characters.
Darunis
- Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese)
- Always Someone Better: He sees Aldo this way, claiming that Aldo could outmatch him in no time if he wasn't goofing off or only interested in physical prowess.
- Forest Ranger: His job is halfway this, halfway town guard. As he puts it, he only defends the "human" territory from intruders.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's a long-haired, blonde Bishōnen archer.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: He avoids killing monsters and beastfolk as it will only make them go bolder to kill their friends, even if they encroach on human territory.
Feinne
See Story Characters.
May
- Voiced by: Ayaka Imamura (Japanese)
- Ancestral Weapon: Her hammer is passed down from her grandmother.
- The Blacksmith: Sadly, she can't craft gear for your team.
- Cannot Spit It Out: She has crush on Aldo, but presumably due to her own Tsundere tendencies and Aldo himself being Oblivious to Love, she has trouble spelling it out to him.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: In Premaya's Another Style quest, she spends the whole quest being suspicious of Premaya when Aldo brings her to visit his family, actively peeping on him to see whatever is going on between them. When Premaya inaccurately describes the situation surrounding her shift of personality as having a baby inside her, May immediately barges in to confront Aldo and demands him to explain himself.
- She Is All Grown Up: She asks Aldo if he only noticed she's not a child anymore because she grew up in "certain" places.
- Tsundere: Towards Aldo. It's clear that she is head-over-heels for him and very concerned about his well-being - in fact, her third character quest revolves around her insecurity on whether she can still support him as he goes on more and more adventures outside Baruoki. She refuses to come clean about it when pointed out by others, however, and frequently acts annoyed around him afterwards.
Nomar
- Voiced by: Ryuta Anzai (Japanese)
- Cowardly Lion: While he's easily frightened, that never actually stops him from fighting monsters. His personal abilities allow him to enrage enemies into prioritizing him as a target over his companions.
- Lovable Coward: Nomar is scared by almost everything, but his tendency to push through despite his fears means he's quite appreciated by the Baruoki citizens.
- The Nicknamer: Back when the Baruoki gang was younger, he gave everyone nicknames: Aldie for Aldo, Dary for Darunis, Fei-Fei for Feinne, and May-May for May.
Victor
Click here to see AS Victor
- Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese), Jay Rincon (English)
An open-hearted young man who calls himself "former adventurer". The equipment he wears bears the marks of countless battles, and yet he avoids speaking about his past. Some say that he has been wandering around alone for a very long time. He is a man with a wealth of knowledge and a keen eye for detail. Although he wears two blades, he uses only one during a battle.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Victor really makes good of his claims of being an experienced "former adventurer". The thing is that his perception of what counts as "adventure" for him is... unconventional, to say the least, and that's not counting his Large Ham tendencies.
- Blessed with Suck: The power Victor obtained from the ruins in Rucyana Sands gave him all the experience and combat prowess he could ever have in his lifetime and stopped his aging, but as he puts it, it also took away "his future" as it stopped his growth as person.
- Catchphrase: Kind of. Every time Aldo questions how Victor manages to anticipate things to a ridiculous degree (see Crazy-Prepared below), he will always reply with something around the line of "adventurer's intuition".
- Crazy-Prepared: He tends to prepare seemingly mundane things simply because his "adventurer's intution" tells him to. For example, when the NPC in his first quest fails to get the herb he has been searching for his sickly mother, Victor proceeds to give said NPC a bunch of them. That he had stocked a few days in advance just because he thought he would need it.
- Distinction Without a Difference: Regarding how Victor obtained the blade he is actively using in battle. Per the Mayor of Baruoki's side of story, Victor just suddenly came to the Mayor requesting duel to take his blade one day and won, and just took the Mayor's weapon with him without saying anything and never returning. Victor immediately went defensive and claimed that he "borrowed it and kind of forgetting to return it after a while".
- Dual Wielding: Victor wields both of his katanas in the character illustrations, although in story and gameplay proper he only uses one and saves the other "for specific enemies". The blade he is normally using actually belongs to the Mayor of Baruoki. He properly dual-wields in his Another Style, however.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He first made his appearance in Mayor of Baruoki's tutorial quest before becoming playable months later.
- Eccentric Mentor: More or less serves as this to Aldo in his character quests. Sure he gives pointers to Aldo on what should be done next, but his peculiarities also end up confusing Aldo more often than not.
- Elemental Powers: Thunder and Wind, respectively, with the former as his prime element. In Lunatic mode, his attacks will also be imbued by thunder damage.
- Large Ham: Being as over-the-top as possible is part of Victor's character, apparently.(while distracting the Sahuagins ganging up on an NPC in his first character quest)
Victor: SAAAHUUUAGINNNNNN! I GOT FRUIIIIT FOR YOUUUUUUU! - Limit Break: His mainline Thunder-based skills are intended to work during Another Force, as they significantly increase the AF combo rate.
- The Mentor: He used to be one for King Miglance, and the one who taught the person about the ways of the world.
- Meta Guy: Victor treats adventures like a pre-penned story (and sometimes, a choose-your-own-adventure book), and the way he gives pointers to Aldo is similar to how a game narration gives exposition to its player. Naturally, Aldo is confused by his manner of speech, while the Mayor of Baruoki is pretty much exasperated by this habit.
- Older Than They Look: The second quest reveals Victor is around the same age as the Mayor of Baruoki and in fact used to go on adventures together with him. Near the end of his third quest, he briefly turned into his supposed old form after destroying the relic that empowered him and his former companion Louise to stop the latter, but got turned into his young form once again when the power of immortality of the latter returned to the relic.
- Sad Clown: Beneath Victor's Large Ham attitude is the shell of a man who no longer has future to look forward to.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With the Mayor of Baruoki. Victor is genuinely fond of the Mayor and considers him his best friend. The Mayor, though, tends to be more exasperated with his antics.
- Walking the Earth: What he has been doing, and is very experienced with it.
Wenefica
A hexer who lives deep in the Moonlight Forest, selling amulets and charms. She loves the misfortune and malice of others, and detests positive emotions like love and charity. Rumored to have lived for hundreds of years, she cannot rest until she completes a certain curse.
- Grandfather Paradox: Her hatred at the first Wenefica's love drives her to bring the release of death to both the first Wenefica and her immortal husband, thus averting the succession rite that's affected many hexers to come, including herself. This causes Wenefica to fade out of existence and get deposited at Time's Forgotten Stop without most of her memories or identity, and she gets pulled back when Aldo undoes her decision.
- Hold the Line: Her final character quest pits you against an immortal enemy. You just need to survive for three turns as Wenefica prepares and executes a ritual to defeat it.
- Legacy Character: Wenefica isn't her real name, rather that of a distant ancestor whose succession rite transfers her memories and knowledge to generations and generations of ancestors. Her real name is Monette.
- Love Freak: Inverted — Wenefica detests love and how it leads people to do what she deems irrational. Instead, she gleefully collects hatred and grudges as fuel for her hexes. She has this mindset because of the first Wenefica's love for her immortal husband that's started the succession rite that has forced generations of hexers to try and continue her legacy to complete a powerful curse.
Beastfolk
General Tropes
- Horned Humanoid: With the apparent exception of Lokido, all of the beastfolk's regular form resemble more of a normal human, with the exception of their blueish skin and horns. Dunarith, in particular, is notable for his asymmetrical horn.
Dunarith
Click here to see AS Dunarith
- Voiced by: Kengo Kawanishi (Japanese), Dar Dash (English)
A young beast who provides memorial services for the families of the recently departed. It seems he is able to understand the will of the bird known as Bran. They travel throughout the lands as partners. Though he takes battle seriously, unlike other beastfolk he absolutely refuses to use his monster form for some reason.
- Anger Born of Worry: In his third character quest, Dunarith briefly lost his cool and yells at one beast child who snuck out of the village to Igoma when his sister went missing, as it reminded him of what happened to his own sister.
- Big Brother Instinct: While this is not immediately apparent in the English script, this is basically his whole reason of allowing himself to be cursed by the spirit of his younger sister Reliath, so she won't disappear from the cycle of reincarnation after she was turned into evil spirit.
- Blow You Away: In addition to his healing and buff skills, Dunarith possesses wind-based offensive skills, and support skill to boost wind-based damage output.
- Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: A same-sex, friendship example with Aldo. As noted below, due to his nature and his line of work, Dunarith doesn't think very highly of himself, and Aldo has to repeatedly convince him otherwise throughout his quests.
- Cleavage Window: A Rare Male Example with his Another Style outfit.
- Combat Medic: As noted above, he has both healing and wind-based offensive skills those enable him to support the party while also giving the enemies pressure.
- Critical Hit Class:
- Dunarith's healing spells are able to increase the critical hit rate of physical attacks, and its strongest form, "Bless Soul", gives the entire party including himself 100% physical critical rate for one move. Also worth noting that he can also benefit from this due to his wind offensive skill "Tourbillon" is a slash-based attack that scales off his Magic Attack stat. If his Manifest weapon is mastered, the number of critical moves is amped up to three and includes magic crit as well, and "Tourbillon" will hit harder when critical.
- His Another Style trades off support for more raw damage, as well as personal buffs through his Valor Chant and his "Turbulenz Death" skill that grant him higher chance to land critical hits with his magic.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Dunarith's third character quest reveals that he used to have a sister named Reliath, who disappeared without a trace when he was a child during the time of Illumination Ceremony. Said sister's soul fell victim to a soul-eating monster from Snake Dream and became an evil spirit that, if taken to Purgatory, will not be able to sustain herself and will be eventually erased from existence instead of entering cycle of reincarnation. As such, in exchange of keeping her around instead of having her sent to Purgatory only to be erased, Dunarith chose to let himself be cursed by his sister's spirit and became a Purifier that sends the souls of the departed to the soul collectors regularly. In addition, said sister becomes part of his monster form, which is why he absolutely refuses to use said form.
- Feather Motif: His Another Style outfit is adorned with feathers, which is strongly associated with life in the beastfolk's tradition.
- The Gadfly: In his first character quest, he intentionally messes with Aldo when he takes interest on trying to talk to Bran, only to reveal that it is Dunarith himself that does the talking through ventriloquism. Why? Because Aldo's reaction is too funny to ignore.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: As a result of his Dark and Troubled Past, Dunarith doesn't think of himself very highly, to say the least. This is especially notable in his Another Style quest, where he initially refuses to participate in blessing the ceremony in the quest (that is associated with the blessing of new life) because he believes his association with the dead will give grave consequences, and he still doesn't forgive himself for seemingly nearly killing Aldo and finds himself baffled that Aldo still treats him as his friend in said quest when he went on rampage under Reliath's control, despite Aldo bearing him no hard feelings for him. He also believes that his sister resents him for forcing her soul to be kept in the mortal realm, until Aldo reassures him that he sees Reliath's soul was crying for him during his Near-Death Experience.
- Injured Vulnerability: Dunarith's Another Style skill "Turbulenz Death" hits harder on poisoned target. To support this, his other skill "Sturm Zegen" has chance to inflict permanent poison on all enemies.
- Jerkass to One: While he is rather distant to others except Aldo despite his kindness, Dunarith acts particularly cold towards the Purgatorian he is contracted with, as shown in Zeviro's character quest and the Purgatory Ensemble. Probably doesn't help that the Purgatorian is rather bossy and demanding.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He gets through a huge one in his Another Style quest when it looks like that he accidentally killed Aldo when Reliath's spirit took over his beast form and went on rampage towards Aldo, as at that time Aldo was cursed by the very same evil spirit that is ultimately responsible for turning Reliath into one. Even when Aldo doesn't hold it against him, he still doesn't quite forgive himself for it.
- Only Friend: If his character quest dialogues are any indication, Aldo is pretty much his only friend alongside Bran. Dunarith seems to treasure their friendship too - enough for him to finally transform to his beast form to defeat the soul-eating monster that turned his sister to evil spirit, and was about to kill Aldo and the child they rescued as well.
- Other Me Annoys Me: While he does find some Commonality Connection with Dream Dunarith due to how much they care for their sister, he dislikes Dream Dunarith otherwise due to his constant fooling around and apparent irresponsibility. The fact that Dunarith ended up becoming the scapegoat for Dream Dunarith's constant debt does not help matters.
- Our Gryphons Are Different: Dunarith's beast form is a gryphon, albeit one with ghastly-looking face under his wing as said form is where his sister's evil spirit resides.
- Red Right Hand: If the player obtains his 5-star form, an alternate illustration of Dunarith will be shown with a ghastly-looking face appearing from his wing. As his beast form reveals, it's the manifestation of his sister's soul, which has been turned to evil spirit and resides in his beast form.
- Secretly Selfish: Even though he genuinely shows compassion for the deceased and those left behind, Dunarith admits in his character quest that he becomes a Purifier for his own ends as well, namely to atone for his sister being turned into evil spirit and is allowed to keep her around in exchange of regularly sending the souls of the dead to the Purgatory.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: Dunarith is able to communicate with his bird partner Bran.
Lokido
Click here to see AS Lokido
- Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (Japanese)
- Berserk Button: He really doesn't like the beastfolk, since they killed his mother. So much, that his version in the Alternate Timeline of "First Knight and the Holy Sword" becomes a mercenary dedicated solely for the extermination of beastfolk.
- Fantastic Racism: A victim of it. Humans take one look at him and call him a monster. Aldo's the first person to defend him.
- He himself is highly prejudiced against beasts, to the point that it extends to self-hatred of his 'filthy blood.' It's not until he meets (and subsequently loses) his father, and learns that his parents truly loved each other that he changes his outlook.
- Gentle Giant: He looks like a large monster, but is gentle and doesn't fight back when people call him a fiend and chase him away.
- Half-Breed Angst: Lokido thinks he exists because a beast committed an awful crime against his mother. However, this isn't the case, and after he learns the truth he is able to accept his mixed nature. With his perspective, he now hopes to create the world his parents dreamed of, one where humans and beasts can coexist peacefully.
- Half-Human Hybrid: His mother was a human citizen of Unigan.
- Last Chance Hit Point: Lokido's Another Style has this ability, but It Only Works Once per battle (but his full Manifest weapon lifts the restriction).
- Lightning Bruiser: He's fast and hits like a boulder. If it weren't for his low MP pool, he'd be unstoppable.
- Warring Natures: The humans and the beastfolk are enemies of each other. Lokido sides with the humans, but he looks more like a beastman.
- Wolf Man: He looks like a giant purple werewolf.
Myrus
Click here to see AS Myrus
- Voiced by: Kana Asumi (Japanese)
- Beware the Nice Ones: Myrus is more than happy with the idea of coexistence with humans and is shown to be regularly intrigued to humans, but she also won't hesitate to use force if she deems necessary, as her first and third character quests show.
- Combat Medic: Myrus with her base skills is an earth mage with a side of semi-competent healing. With her Manifest Weapon, her strongest attacks allow her to deal damage, heal the party, and provide buffs all at the same time, accentuating this trope.
- Critical Hit Class: Myrus's Another Style eschews the healing and support for more raw damage and the ability to build up her magical critical rate.
- Critical Status Buff: A unique variant exists on her AS version. Transform Claw drastically increases in power... when the user is low on MP, not HP, meaning she becomes much more dangerous when she won't be able to keep fighting (since she'd have to retreat to the backline to restore some MP).
- Famed In-Story: Although she doesn't realize it, her Another Style reveals that she is the supposed legendary goddess that became the basis of Myurea Force in Future Garulea due to the initial name of the group (Amyure) becomes distorted after centuries.
- Friend to All Children: Her Another Style quest reveals that she looks after a group of children calling themselves Amyure Force and helps them train to become strong to defend the village.
- Genki Girl: She has... a lot of energy, to say the least. Aldo has to restrain her in her character quests from running her mouth too much or from doing rash things those can get herself in danger, especially in the face of humans those aren't so kind with beastfolk.
- Half-Identical Twins: She's Vares' twin sister.
- Informed Flaw: Her bio states the other beastfolk shun her, but nothing of the sort happens in-game. It probably helps hat she's the sister of Guildna's lieutenant and a close friend of Altena.
- Killer Rabbit: Literaly, as her Beast mode shape is a giant spectral bunny. Her 5-star class is also called "Lapin", the French word for "rabbit".
- Master of None: Due to her kit being half-offensive mage half-healer, she falls behind dedicated units, but works well to reinforce them. This gets averted when her skills are enhanced with her Manifest Weapon.
- Maternally Challenged: Played for Laughs in Myrus' third character quest. The quest has her and Aldo suddenly being shoved a baby by a stranger, with predictable results when they're left with no choice but to care for them. While Aldo has some ideas due to having raised Feinne as a kid, Myrus... does not.After much crying and not just from the baby, Myrus managed to change the baby's diaper.
- Ms. Fanservice: While other characters also wear skimpy clothing and/or have large breasts, her artwork and sprite clearly shows her cleavage and thighs in flattering view.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Like Altena, Myrus wants humans and beastfolk to simply get along and stop fighting, which is why she'll happily tag along with Aldo. Unlike Altena, she doesn't give a crap if Vares agrees or not.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: In her Another Style, her power turns her hair from silver-ish to golden, which can be seen in her combat sprite.
- Power Incontinence: She briefly suffers one in her Another Style quest due to being enraged by the Magic Armor that harmed one of the children and the Abbetos she is training. It caused her to transform to her gigantic rabbit form and release deadly miasma that nearly killed everyone as well until Aldo and the children successfully reached out to her.
Zeviro
Click here to see AS Zeviro
- Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Dominic Thorburn (English)
- Action Initiative: Inverted with Dread Root. It has a delayed activation time in exchange for inflicting a whopping 15 Dread on all enemies it hits.
- Animal Motifs: Snow leopard, as his AS quest reveals.
- Badass and Child Duo: He is depicted with a young boy named Kiwo in his Another Style, who is also one of his collaborators.
- Damage-Increasing Debuff: Enemies afflicted with Dread by his skills gain even more Dread each time they take damage, and their physical defense drops slightly for each Dread stacked on them. Dread maxes out at 50 stacks per enemy for a total of -30% defense. Zeviro's skills also hit harder on enemies with more Dread accumulated on them.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Makes an appearance towards the end of the "First Knight and the Holy Sword" Episode, but wouldn't become playable until a few weeks later.
- Hope Is Scary: This is partially the reason behind Zeviro's so-called "work efficiency" and his apparent refusal to put effort on his soul-collecting job. As he reveals in his third character quest, he grows afraid of losing everything he has ever known and accumulated should the time of his Reincarnation comes. As such, in the end of his third character quest, he willingly performs Heroic Sacrifice by pushing all of the powers he accumulated to the young Purgatorian who is about to disappear at the end of his quest, since he'd rather his powers be in the hands of someone who is unafraid of the future. The young Purgatorian pushing some of his power back to Zeviro, though, seems to renew his resolve.
- Other Me Annoys Me: Zeviro's first character quest reveals that the Purgatorian that Dunarith is contracted to is none other than Zeviro's Alternate Self from the native time layer, and Zeviro immediately takes a distaste on him for his apparent "inefficiency" at collecting souls.
- Pet the Dog: His contract with Kiwo is mostly done because it is supposed to be beneficial for both of them, but it can be said that it also counts as this, especially when Zeviro offers Kiwo to renew their contract and Kiwo — now starting to see value in his own life — asks him to become his teacher instead.
- Sinister Scythe: His weapon, as part of the reaper job. The game classifies him as an ax wielder.
- The Spock: He weighs things by logic and has trouble comprehending actions those are driven by feelings. He fails to understand why Aldo is willing to help people without compensation, and similarly has trouble comprehending why Kiwo goes so far to shield him from a fatal attack even though he gains nothing from it beyond that Kiwo simply likes Zeviro as he is.
Tropes that apply to Kiwo:
- All of the Other Reindeer: He is a spirit medium and can naturally draw spirits and supernatural beings alike to him, which caused him to be feared and hated including by his own father. Zeviro is the first who valued his abilities.
- Blessed with Suck: As noted, potent as they may be, Kiwo's power has brought him nothing but grief due to the isolation he received in response.
- The Eeyore: He is very gloomy, which is unsurprising given his background. The whole reasoning why he agrees to become Zeviro's collaborator in the first place is that because he wishes to die due to believing that his existence is nothing but misfortune after being told so by his own father, but because Zeviro refuses to kill him since his scythe is reserved for the dead, they came to agreement that Zeviro can reap his soul when Kiwo passes. He is slowly getting over it by the end of Zeviro's AS quest, though.
- You Should Have Died Instead: His father blames him for his mother's passing from illness and said this almost word to word to Kiwo, which caused him to run away and eventually getting contracted to Zeviro.

Benedict
- Voiced by: Makoto Ishii (Japanese)
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: Benedict's got one role in combat: hit things very hard. Any utility moves he has helps him hit things harder. But when he attacks, he can decimate whatever he hits.
- Barbarian Hero: He doesn't look the part, but his lack of social skills, mastery of the battleaxe and prowess in combat make up for it.
- Brooklyn Rage: The English dub gives him a Brooklyn accent and he's very aggressive.
- Dark and Troubled Past: If the hoodlum in his second quest is to be believed, Benedict used to be a fearsome highwayman, and still is a fugitive. The "Commander and Sheep" Ensemble and his third character quest shed more light on it: he was once part of an abusive assassin's guild (the same one that Felmina came from) until he escaped to try to live a normal, happy life — however, in the process, he allegedly lost his close friend that tried to help him escape.
- Gathering Steam: His 5-star upgrade gave him "Ripsaw Mode", which allows him to gain whopping 50 PWR every turn, capping at 500 PWR addition in total. Pass time long enough, and he can completely decimate all of his foes.
- Mundane Utility: In "Commander and Sheep", Elseal sees that Benedict is given the Commander's Ax, a holy relic during the reign of the Thunder King...and Benedict explains that he's been using it to chop wood.
- Non-Elemental: Although some of his skills has Wind affinity, Benedict's mainline and 5-star skills are all non-type slash attacks, allowing him to bypass type resistances.
- No Social Skills: He clearly has none. His attempt to get engaged involves ambushing random women to offer them a bouquet of carnivorous flowers. It works on one lady, though. Too bad she was already married.
- Obsessively Normal: He tries to be, often prefacing his conversations by explaining how normal he's being, but he's too clueless to be remotely normal. This was because he was once part of the Bone Wolf assassin guild since he was a child, and thus it was the only world that he knew.
- Personal Dictionary: Benedict often mentions being a normal lumberjack. The only thing he knows about lumberjacks is that they're normal and carry around an ax. His old friend during his days in the assassin's guild is partially to blame for this very peculiar definition.
- Red Baron: Completing Philo's character quest reveals that later in his life, Benedict is known as "World's Strongest Woodcutter" despite always insisting that he is completely normal. Why? Because the name was given to him by his would-be assassins those were trying to get his head.
Bivette
- Voiced by: Mie Sonozaki (Japanese)
- All Witches Have Cats: Bivette thinks so. She has a pet cat named Rumino which also serves as her familiar.
- Black Magician Girl: She's boisterous and can cast powerful single-target fire spells.
- Double Unlock: A triple unlock in her case. To get Bivette's 5-star class, you must first finish a long cat quest involving a series of cat battles in the Spurr-ace Colony. Only then will you get the ability to start the quest that unlocks Bivette's personal weapon and 5-star class, and you still must make the Script investments to finish her 5-star upgrade.
- Heel Realization: She realizes how self-centered she's been after Rumino runs away due to her mistreatment, and she starts doing research on how to properly care for cats.
- Must Make Amends: Her third character quest revolves around her freeing the spirits and monsters she kept imprisoned as a child.
- Self-Serving Memory: She remembers being friends with a spirit that lived in a lamp as a child. When she meets the spirit again as an adult, it tries to seek retribution for all the pain she caused it.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: She develops the ability to transform into a cat in order to follow Rumino through a small hole.
Denny
- Voiced by: Wataru Hatano (Japanese)
- All That Glitters: His old friend's treasure turns out to be a knife symbolizing their friendship rather than anything of monetary value.
- The Casanova
- Likes Older Women: When a young lady tries to propose to him, he notes that he'd be more interesed if she were twenty years older.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Just look at that mane.
- Pirate: He admits you could call him one, but he's much more interested in the "freely sailing the seas with your friends" side of piracy than the "search for buried booty and plunder ships" side.
Elga
Click here to see AS Elga
- Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Japanese)
- Boisterous Bruiser: Her 5-star class is called "Juggernaut" and her Valor Chants are bombastic as hell. "Subtle" isn't in her vocabulary.
- Does Not Like Spam: Meat is a big no-no for Elga, and she strictly eats vegetables. Although it's never explicitly stated, one can infer the reason by connecting the dots between the Ogre Wars storyline and her Another Style quest: her fiance Prince Alfaldo (the Thunder King's son) was murdered by the Hell Ogre and the Death Ogre, and served as food to her.
- Fragile Speedster: Her biggest asset is her Speed stat and she has the ability to crank it even higher. With her Manifest Weapon her Quattro Drive also receives a damage bonus based on her Speed. She suffers from the fragility that most Katana users experience, though her Valor Chant offers physical damage mitigation to compensate.
- Identity Amnesia: She doesn't remember her past, although floating land seems familiar to her. Her Another Style quest reveals that she is the daughter of Zennon Ogre, who supposedly went crazy and disappeared after Prince Alfaldo was killed.
- In the Hood: She specifically mentions that she likes how hoods are good at hiding things.
- I Work Alone: One of the first things she makes clear when joining Aldo is that she doesn't need friends or allies. She doesn't like following orders from other people.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Her Another Style outfit is significantly frillier than her regular duds. Turns out, it was originally supposed to be her wedding outfit.
- Leeroy Jenkins: She'd rather charge in and attack the target directly than to listen to strategy.
- Little Bit Beastly: Her hood has cat ears. Whether they're real or not...
- Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Just like Felmina, Elga's sprite uses a dual weapon (sickles in her case) but her class weapons are katanas.
- Ninja Run: How she moves around by default.
- Non-Elemental: While she is capable of Dishing Out Dirt, her strongest attacks are neutral.
- The Nose Knows: She's able to identify Aldo from a group of identically hooded individuals because she can recognize the scent of his shirt.
- Spam Attack: A lot of her skills are multi-hit, making her great for building and extending Another Force. Her basic attack hits twice, and her Quattro Drive skill is one of the few skills that hit an enemy four times.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: She always cries at tragic love stories, no matter how simple. Possibly she was involved in one herself, which is confirmed in her Another Style quest.
- You Remind Me of X: Mentioned at one point in her quest that Aldo's presence reminds her of someone important from her past whom she cannot remember, which is presumably why she gets along with him just fine despite her supposed I Work Alone tendencies. Her Another Style quest reveals the person in question was the Thunder King's son Prince Alfaldo, who - while only seen from behind - sports similar appearance to Aldo - at least from his hair.
Elseal
A cheery and friendly member of the Miglance Postal Service. However, that's only her surface job, it seems. She loves antiques, especially weapons, from the bottom of her heart, and can act unpredictably when weapons are involved. To her, they're the greatest treasure in history.
- Animal Motifs: Sheep, as she and her fellow post officers are called "Mail Sheep". The goal of the MLPS is to get rid of problems so people can have a peaceful sleep, like how counting sheep makes it easier for people to nod off. Sheep are also known to be symbols of innocence, reflecting how the mail workers have innocent facades.
- Berserk Button: Do not insult antiques by calling them old relics. And do not lick your weapon before a fight, that is disgusting!
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Her obsession with antiques to the point of her frequent Skewed Priorities is clearly peculiar even among Mailed Sheeps. Nevertheless, she makes good of her claims that she never misses her delivery and can go toe-to-toe with dangerous assassins in both wits and strength, and if the task given to her in "Commander and Sheep" Ensemble is to be believed, she is also clearly one of their best "sheeps".
- Confusing Multiple Negatives: Bursts into these when Aldo tells her the origins of Ogre Rancorem.Elseal: I can't believe this [the story of Ogre Rancorem]. I can't believe I can believe this! I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN BELIEVE THAT THIS ISN'T NOT REALLY NOT NOT REAL?!
- Deadly Euphemism: If Elseal wants to detain someone, she says that she has a "(Special) delivery" to her target.
- Everyone Has Standards: Aside from her stance of assassins killing women and children, she really hates it when people decide to running their tongue across a weapon before using it.
- Large Ham: She really starts becoming dramatic and speaking in all caps upon seeing Ogre Rancorem.
- The Nose Knows: While initially seen as a gag, she's able to sniff out items that come from a similar era.
- Perverted Sniffing: She loves antiques so much that she smells them up close.
- Serious Business: She loves antiques. How much? She shines them, polishes them, hugs them, stares at them, sniffs them...Elseal: I live for them. I'd die for them. They're my EVERYTHING.
- Skewed Priorities:
- After taking care of her "special delivery" (arresting a corrupt politician bribing vagabonds to off his political enemies) she's more horrified that his antique collection is nothing but fakes.
- She was about to give Aldo a special delivery but then becomes enamored by Ogre Rancorem.
- She's more annoyed that an assassin licks their knife over the fact that she, Aldo, Felmina, and Benedict are surrounded by a bunch of them.
- Unstoppable Mailman: Especially when they double as secret agents.
Ewan

- Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Blake Kubena (English)
- Coat Cape: How he wears his top.
- Collector of the Strange: He only deals in cursed weapons and mundane ones with a bloody history. The latter don't bring as much money, but it's still a pretty penny.
- Cool Shades: Wears a pair of sunglasses that highlights his nature as shady weapon broker.
- Exact Words: His contract with the Phantom's Lance stipulates that, in exchange of getting all his life force back, Ewan can't use Phantom's Bane to destroy it. Too bad for Phantom's Lance, Aldo also wants to destroy the evil spirit within and isn't bound by their agreement.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: Invoked with his Another Style, since he comments himself that since his client that time was a person of influence, it won't do if he appears like a slob.
- Honest John's Dealership: Averted. His items are genuine and, before any purchase, he makes sure the weapon fits the buyer, telling off people he sees as unfit to wield an evil weapon.
- My Greatest Failure: Finding Phantom's Lance and allowing it to seal a contract with him when he was nearing death are, in his words, not his finest moment.
- Sweet Tooth: His persona type. Shown in his various quests, where the only food he orders is extra-sweet desserts, including a full-course meal made of various cakes. At first it's because losing his life force to Phantom's Lance dulled his senses, but he admits that he always was a sugar lover.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Nothing above the waist save for his Coat Cape and pauldrons.
Flammelapis

- Voiced by: Kaori Ishihara (Japanese), Dev Joshi (English)
- Alpha Strike: Her DPS shines best within the first three turns of combat. Past that point, she's still fairly strong but not absurdly so.
- Big Eater: Has an appetite so big that Aldo worries that she'll exhaust a tavern's supplies whenever she gets hungry.
- Full-Contact Magic: She uses her feet to weave magic circles, using her dancing skills to her advantage.
- Identical Stranger: She also carries an Ogre Rancorem of her own, and learning about its origins and how to keep it sealed forms a focus of her character arc.
- Motor Mouth: She can get quite talkative, which is lampshaded in a Hypocritical Humor moment in her first character quest.
- Squee: To her, Garambarrel is a hero of the titans. Getting to meet him in the flesh is something she's only dreamed of.
Good Macky
The Good Macky shows up in the middle of the Time Mine episode, as a presence that follows you through the Macky Forest but disappears if you move too quickly. By moving slowly enough it follows the party into the mining village where it gets acquainted with its residents. After completion of the Time Mine episode, a bonus sidequest unlocks which lets the Macky join your party after you decide on its name.
- Failed a Spot Check: Played for Laughs in regards to how it joins the village. Somehow Aldo continued to fail to notice the strange-looking rock-like thing that kept appearing behind him every time he turned his back until he arrived in front of the village.
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Unlike most examples where the player could input whatever name they desire, instead it's up to the player to pick from a small selection of names from the Horai villagers.
- Pokémon Speak: It can only say variations of Macky, its species name.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: The Good Macky is a small tree-like critter with adorable appearance that can follow the player around in the village, and its liveliness has made it the village mascot at the completion of the Time Mine episode.
- Token Heroic Orc: One of the few non-humanoid characters you can add to your roster, and it is very friendly towards humans.
Laclair

- Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese)
- Battle Trophy: She collects the scales of the dragons she defeated, which earned Laclair her moniker.
- Doomed Hometown: Her village was razed by a rampaging dragon, leaving her the sole survivor. The "dragon" is actually a dinosaur from Antiquity who wanders through spacetime tears.
- Hearing Voices: The cries of pain and death of the inhabitants of her village are always ringing in her head, with the death of the dragon responsible being the only solution to shut them down she sees.
- Hopeless with Tech: Justified since computers haven't been invented yet in her timeframe, but Laclair's way of using a computer is first to think she has to pry it open, then to kick it and yell at it. And when the computer tells her to stop hitting it, Laclair thinks someone is trapped or hiding inside.
- Ornamental Weapon: The huge shield on her back is never used, but one can guess it's used like a pavise
. - Red Baron: Her moniker, given due to the scale of the dragon she pursues she carries around with her, is well-known among the dragon hunters.
- The Stoic: Unless you mention the one dragon she wants to bring down, don't expect her to emote or give a hoot about anything.
- Stripperific: A short top and daisy dukes is all Laclair needs for clothing, alongside a bow.
- Underestimating Badassery: Laclair is on the receiving end of this at the start of her Character Quest. A man in Barouki doesn't believe that Laclair nor Aldo are capable of slaying dragons simply by judging her appearance. He only realized that Laclair is the famed "Dragon Scale Hunter" after seeing how she collected the scale of the dragon that she defeated.
Mariel
Click here to see AS Mariel
- Voiced by: Saori Hayami (Japanese)
- Back from the Dead: Mariel's Another Style has a skill that can revive defeated party members. So far, she's the only one able to do so.
- Cuteness Proximity: She'll drop everything she's doing to play with any cat she meets, and as her AS quest shows, will be reduced to cat-talk once her adoration towards cats get the better of her.
- Determinator: In her Another Style quest, Mariel repeatedly tries to revive a cat that should've been beyond saving after being forcibly turned into a chimera and can no longer sustain himself. It ultimately works, even if she ends up passing out from exhaustion afterwards.
- Modesty Shorts: She wears black bloomers under her dress.
- My Greatest Failure: Mariel failed to save someone who needed his soul healed, since she only knew magic that healed physical wounds. This motivated her to leave home and gain experience, eventually leading to her joining Aldo. Turns out she did heal the soul of the man, albeit much later than their inital encounter.
- Teen Genius: She is still a young teenager, but according to her mother, the head priest, the fact that she can use the Pure Cradle spell puts her a notch or two above even experienced priests.
- The Runaway: She ran away from home due to a combination of not feeling worthy of becoming a full priest and wanting to see more of the outside world. This does not sit well with her mother, but her father is happy about it.
- "Well Done, Daughter" Girl: As she's the daughter of both the head priest (her mother) and the deputy head priest (her father) of Unigan, she feels that they will never be fully satisfied with her. Turns out to be a case of Anti-Nepotism, as her parents treated her just like the other acolytes to avoid being accused of favoritism, but still dearly love her nonetheless behind closed doors.
- White Mage: The majority of her skills focus on healing and buffing her teammates.
Miranda
- Voiced by: Yoko Honna (Japanese)
- Boisterous Bruiser: She's loud, makes fun of people and is always itching for a Bar Brawl.
- Exposed to the Elements: Unless she carries a fire Prisma under her hat, Miranda doesn't really dress up like someone who sails frozen seas.
- Pirate: Unlike Denny above, she admits to be one from the get-go and cares more about the "quest for plunder and send scallywags to Davy Jones' locker" side of piracy than the "have merry adventures at sea with your friends" side.
Nero
- Voiced by: Tatsuo Suzuki (Japanese), Shai Matheson (English)
- Agent Peacock: Nero loves two things: fighting and beauty.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: He is brash and aloof as well as a top-notch fighter who wants to become famous.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Despite using Fist weapons.
- Expy: He's a half-naked fantastic martial artist obsessed with beauty including his own, just like Vega. But the similarities stop here, as he's deep down a good guy.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In his first character quest, a guy trying to impress a noble girl asks Nero and Aldo to kill a monster and tell her he did it. Nero refuses to play along and bluntly puts the guy down. But in his next breath he insults the girl for cruelly leading the guy on. When the guy gets with his childhood friend, Nero praises their true romance.
- Walking the Earth: What he does in order to perfect his martial arts, fight strong opponents and bolster his legend.
Yipha

- Voiced by: Aoki Ruriko (Japanese), Rebecca LaChance (English)
- Act of True Love: In her Another Style quest, despite agonizing over it, she is ultimately prepared to let go of Bertrand and their marriage after their shared missionnote . Fortunately for her, it turns out that Bertrand reciprocates her feelings.
- The Alcoholic: She spends a lot of time drinking in Hozuki's Inn, either to celebrate a "job well done" or to relieve stress from being reprimanded by the Head Priest.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Had it not for her terrible work ethic, Yipha would've made an excellent model priestess - she is able to master chants those are difficult to memorize normally, and her skills were also why she was made into Mariel's guardian in the first place.
- Cool Big Sis: She's played one to Mariel in the past, and freaks out over her laziness being revealed as it will cause the facade to fall apart.
- Fake-Out Fade-Out: Her first character quest appears to end on the usual "Everybody Laughs" Ending, but midway through the skyward pan, Lakhesis interrupts, and Yipha darts off elsewhere.
- Happily Married: To Bertrand, by the conclusion of her Another Style quest.
- Lazy Bum: Her "abridged ritual" in her first quest was not part of protocol; she shortened the ritual and compensated with magic so that she can complete her duties faster before running off to eat at Hozuki's Inn. Her second character quest reveals that she's cut corners with her other priestess work, with strange consequences.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: When she gets down to business, she can really pull her weight, and proves to be very perceptive.
- Love at First Sight: She has one for Bertrand after he helped her to hide from the Head Priestess as a priestess-in-training.
- The Nicknamer: She issues nicknames to anyone she's close to. For instance, Aldo gets Allee, Hozuki gets Zuki, and Lakhesis gets Laky.
Zilva
- Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka (Japanese), Brian Protheroe (English)
- Cool Old Guy: Zilva is a very pleasant old man who is always there to help people in need, and proves himself to be a formidable warrior despite his age.
- Happily Married: Despite the distance, he speaks highly of his wife and seems very much in love with her.
- Redemption Quest: He promised to protect as many lives with his ax as he took with it before returning to his wife.
- Silver Fox: Is still fine-looking despite his age, and if the theater minigame is any indication, he has plenty of female fanbase because of his looks and his mannerisms.
- Walking the Earth: What he does since he left the army.
The Order of Fleareth
An all-female group of eight knights who wander the lands of Miglance.
- Cleavage Window: Despite wearing full-plate armor, they all have a boob window. Downplayed as it's rather small and they wear bodysuits under their armor.
- Com Mons: They're the Present set of 3-star characters. They have little to no use expect padding the roster or filling a gap in your party until you can get a 4-star character to replace them.
- Palette Swap: They use the same sprite, with only their weapons, the color of their bodysuits and the shape of their helmets varying.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Their backgrounds are all over the place and can be summed up as "They lived normally and one day, they woke up wearing armors."
- Serious Business: The knights' have a rule of never removing their helmets, no matter what. This causes some trouble during Bria's upgrade quest when Emms debates leaving the Order because she removed her helmet for a mundane reason.
Tropes specific to Bria:
- Crippling Overspecialization: Bria's skills become more effective if another member of the Order of Fleareth is in the party. However, because every other member is a 3-star who can't access the best equipment or have any good stats, maximizing her skill effectiveness means fighting with one party member as dead weight.
- Last Chance Hit Point: Bria comes with the ability to endure a lethal hit with 1 HP left, and her unique skill involves passing this same ability to the rest of the party. However, It Only Works Once.
- Took a Level in Badass: Bria can be upgraded to 5-star after completion of the First Knight episode. This lets her break out from the filler status that she shares with her sisters. However, her skills aren't up to mark with what is expected of the other 5-star units, and she'll likely only serve a niche purpose instead of fighting on the frontlines.
