Darwin
Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura
A young man who is the current Nominator. He is the childhood friend of both Orlando and Marie, and was a junior member of the Ornian Guard, a group of mercenaries. He was originally intended to be the first Pillar, but he ends up killing Orlando while under something else's control and becoming the Nominator, instead.
- 11th-Hour Superpower: He gains his third Awakening during the last form of the final boss.
- Battle Couple: With Marie.
- BFS
- Heroes Prefer Swords
- Heroic BSoD: After he kills Marie, he loses it. And understandably so.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He fights Neron to get back the Pillars, knowing that he's critically wounded and probably won't survive it. He collapses and dies in Orlando's arms after the battle ends. Fortunately for him, Neron revives him in thanks.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Every time he cuts someone down on the Pedestal, but most evident with Orlando and Marie's death.
- Parental Abandonment: He's an orphan.
- Perpetual Frowner: After becoming a mercenary. Marie speculates it's because he's too kind for that work.
- Power Gives You Wings: His third Awakening gives him power wings.
- Unique Protagonist Asset: As the Nominator, Darwin is the only playable character with two Human Sopia slots, instead of one. In addition to his own Sopia, he can also equip the Sopia of any other playable character whose Ophan has been defeated.
- Weapon Twirling: Before unleashing his level one and two Awakening.
- Unorthodox Sheathing: He spins it before sheathing it.
Orlando
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita
The childhood friend of Darwin, and Marie's older brother. He was a lieutenant in the Ornian Guard. He was originally chosen as the Nominator, but an "oversight" led to him being killed as a Pillar, instead, leaving Darwin as the Nominator.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: Although he's controllable during the tutorial, he immediately gets sacrificed as a Pillar and does not become playable again until the very end, when he's brought back to life alongside the other Pillars when Darwin defeats Neron.
- Battle Couple: With Li Hua in their backstory. And again when they both revive.
- Big Brother Mentor: To Darwin.
- Dual Wielding: He exhibits some Ayuta-esque dual-wielding with his twin machetes.
- Love at First Sight/Love at First Punch: A very good case of both. Li Hua tells Darwin about how she and Orlando met for the first time on the battlefield and nearly killed each other, thinking they were from opposing sides of the war. Li Hua remarks that it was his eyes that got her.
- Sacrificial Lamb: Orlando's death serves to demonstrate the sacrifices that must be done to enact the Rite of Resealing.
- Weapon Twirling: After attacking.
- Unorthodox Sheathing: Darwin seems to have learned the spin-then-sheathe maneuver from him.
Marie
Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu
Orlando's half sister and Darwin's close friend. She is distraught after seeing Darwin kill her brother.
- Battle Couple: With Darwin.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Despite the fact that Everyone Can See It, she hasn't ever told Darwin how she feels. Even in the end, she can't tell him, although her kiss probably told him enough.
- Girly Run
- Face Death with Dignity / Heroic Sacrifice
- Long Hair Is Feminine
- Magic Staff: Marie's weapon is a staff with the highest boost to Magic in the game.
- Non-Elemental: Her native skills and Awakenings are either healing abilities or this.
- Tomboy: In her younger years. She remarks to Darwin that people used to ask why she couldn't act more like a girl.
- Weapon Twirling: She spins her staff after attacking and as part of her level one and two Awakenings.
- White Magician Girl: At least in personality and weapon choice, being very gentle and feminine. Her awakenings and native skills make her a little more of The Red Mage, however.
Li Hua
Voiced by: Romi Park
A young woman whose past has ties with Orlando's. She seems friendly with Conor.
- Action Girl
- Bare-Fisted Monk
- Kick Chick: Her strongest attacks tend to be kicks.
- Battle Couple: With Orlando in their backstory. And again when they both revive.
- Cleavage Window
- Dueling Player Characters: In the Vs. Li Hua PUB quest, she is fought in a one-on-one fight versus the player-controlled Orlando.
- Face Death with Dignity / Heroic Sacrifice
- Ki Manipulation: Her first Awakening.
- Last Request: She asks Darwin to take her son to see the festival, since she promised him they would go and now she won't be able to.
- Love at First Sight/Love at First Punch: A very good case of both. Li Hua tells Darwin about how she and Orlando met for the first time on the battlefield and nearly killed each other, thinking they were from opposing sides of the war. Li Hua remarks that it was his eyes that got her.
- Tomboyish Ponytail
Araki
Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto
A gruff man who was bent on killing Orlando.
- Anime Hair
- BFS: Longer than Darwin's, but more slender.
- Blood Knight: After his death we are told that his bloodlust may have even driven him to become an Omnicidal Maniac.
- Death Seeker: It's revealed after his death that he saw himself as a monster that needed to be put down.
- Duel Boss: If Darwin decides to sacrifice Araki, after they defeat War together, Darwin will have to defeat Araki in a one-on-one fight before proceeding to the sacrifice.
- Expy: Of both Olgars (the first more than the second). Lampshaded by Piu-Piu if you speak to him with Araki in the lead position.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Of the Anti-Hero across the eyes variety.
- Perma-Stubble
- Walking Shirtless Scene
Conor
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro
A boy from a noble family who both Orlando and Darwin served as bodyguards for.
- Last Request: He asks Darwin to tell his parents how much he loves them and how happy he was to be their son.
- Stepford Smiler: After the first pillar is sacrificed, he puts up an unconvincing act that everything is fine.
- White Magician Boy: His Awakenings are healing or buffing in nature, he uses a bow, and he's a coward.
Lessica
Voiced by: Minori Chihara
An enigmatic young woman who is charged with helping the Nominator.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: Lessica first becomes playable just before the end, when Darwin descends into Abaddon with her.
- Artificial Human: She was created by the Creator for this role.
- Big Eater: Some sidequests involve getting her 10 of a specific healing item, which are always food. She eats them immediately.
- Deflector Shields: When using the Defend command, Lessica generates an energy shield with her rings.
- Duel Boss: Darwin has to fight Lessica one-on-one before she joins him for their descent into Abaddon.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: There are definitely elements of this in her design.
- Emotionless Girl
- Ethreal White Dress: Lessica's dress, hair, and even weapons are all white, befitting her otherwordly status as an Artificial Human with mysterious goals.
- Heroic Sacrifice: She sacrifices herself to become an Ophan, so that the party has a chance of defeating Amon. Although she comes back after Amon is defeated, she still dies, because all of Amon's creations die when he does. She knew this was her fate from the moment she decided to rebel, and accepted it.
- Humanity Is Infectious: Her interactions with all of the Nominators and Pillars over the years have made her more human, seeing value in life and a desire for freedom. It is this that leads her to rebel against the Creator, even though she knows it will mean her death.Bachs: If you lie down with dogs, you'll come up with fleas.
- Lady of War/Lady of Black Magic: She's a bit of a Jack of All Stats, making her a little of both.
- Ouroboros: Her initial weapon is called Ouroboros Rings.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When Lessica's eyes change from grey to red, watch out. She's all out of bubblegum.
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Lessica's 'weapon' is a pair of rings, which form actual weapons (a spear, bow or shield) from nothing when she attacks, defends or uses an Awakening.
Bachs (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Voiced by: Yosuke Akimoto
The man who runs the Rite. He's actually Amon, called the Creator.
- Big Bad: The recurring global apocalypses, and the Rite of Resealing that is supposedly necessary to maintain Neron's seal, banish the monsters and rebuild the world, are in truth all part of Amon's scheme to maintain belief in himself.
- Cain and Abel: Amon and his brother Neron were locked in combat for who knows how many aeons. When Amon finally defeated him, he realized he would cease to exist without Neron's belief. So he locked his counterpart up for all eternity and substituted humanity's belief for his brother's, using his brother as a scapegoat for his own evil acts to obtain it.
- Dramatic Wind: Constantly.
- Eldritch Abomination
- Faux Affably Evil: Every "nice" act, like allowing Li Hua a private word with Darwin or showing Conor his parents, is all a calculated ploy to give the story told by the Nominator more emotional impact later, and thus gain more faith.
- Gods Need Prayer Badly: To the point that he will cease to exist if people stop believing in him.
- God Is Evil: Every time people stop believing in him enough, Amon (the rough equivalent of the Abrahamic God) causes a planet-wide apocalypse and forces a Nominator to kill five people, many of whom are family and friends, all to make the rest of humanity worship him again.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: Good wings in all his forms other than Bachs.
- Light Is Not Good: About as far from good as it's possible to get, actually.
- Load-Bearing Boss
- Manipulative Bastard: So very much. He deliberately chooses people who will create more drama as the Nominator and Pillars, in order to make a better story. Then he shamelessly manipulates them into sacrificing themselves for what they believe is a good cause.
- Meaningful Name: Amon is the name of a god in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. In the original Japanese version, his name is Amen, which is a concluding word for prayer used by Christians.
- Post-Final Boss: The third battle against Amon is scripted; Amon's only attack deals 99999 damage but cannot KO Darwin, and the only thing to do is to wait for three turns, then finish him off with Darwin's new level 3 Awakening.
- Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight: In the first fight with Bachs, you can't even deal a single point of damage to him until Lessica sacrifices herself to become an Ophan, binding him to the physical realm and allowing him to be killed.
- Sequential Boss: First a Hopeless Boss Fight against "Bachs", then a fight against Ophan Lessica, then Amon's physical form (which serves as the True Final Boss), and finally Amon's angelic form (a Post-Final Boss who cannot defeat you).
- True Final Boss: After defeating Neron and watching the ending, you'll need to reload the save file to gain access to the All-Seeing Eye, then proceed to the end to fight Amon; he serves as the main story's final challenge, and defeating him leads to the game's true ending.
- Walking Spoiler: Bachs' true nature as Amon, and the real purpose of the Rite of Resealing, are only revealed at the very end of the game.
The Four Horsemen
Four antagonists that serve Neron. They are collecting and destroying the Sopia cores. Later, it is shown that they actually serve Amon.
- BFS: War
- Blood Knight: War
- Combat Tentacles: Famine
- Dual Boss: After descending into Abaddon, you have to fight Conquest and War in a single boss battle, then Death and Famine in another.
- Fusion Dance: The Four Horsemen are all part of Bachs' Herald, and fight the player in this form in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: All of them except Death, which appears to not have eyes.
- The Grim Reaper: Death is clearly inspired by it.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: Oddly enough, Conquest has "good" wings. Probably because he's part of Herald.
- Horsemen of the Apocalypse
- Lean and Mean: Famine
- Percent Damage Attack: Famine's Starving for Sustenance deals damage equal to 50% of the target's current HP.
- Recurring Boss: Each Horseman is fought three times: once when collecting a Sopia Core, once when sacrificing a Pillar, and once during the descent into Abaddon (at which point Conquest and War pair up, as do Death and Famine). If not taking into account the post-game PUB quests, the Horsemen are the only bosses that are fought multiple times in the main story.
- Sinister Scythe: Death
Herald
A angelic looking creature that serves Bachs.
- The Dragon: To Bachs.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: He has one angelic wing.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: Twice, when Darwin tries to defy the Rite, he'll have to fight the Herald, who will immediately end the fight with Judgement, an attack that deals 99999 damage; it's not until The Very Definitely Final Dungeon that the Herald can actually be defeated.
- Musical Assassin: He attacks by blowing on the horns strapped to his back.
- Time-Limit Boss: The final fight with him. If you can't kill him within 7 turns, he'll use The Seventh Trumpet, dealing 99999 damage to your party.
- Voice of the Legion: As he is the combination of all Four Horsemen, his voice is that of all Four Horsemen speaking in tandem.
Piu-Piu
A small, eccentric, and extremely perverted cat-like creature who runs the store.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Piu-Piu doesn't remember what happened before he "washed ashore" where he is now. If you fight him as a Super Boss, he'll suddenly recall it all, and destroy Amon all by himself.
- Lovable Sex Maniac
- Sidekick Creature Nuisance
- Super Boss: When the game was first launched, Piu-Piu was the strongest enemy in the game, and can only be fought after defeating the True Final Boss and completing all P.U.B. requests. Though (at level 100) he's still far stronger than said True Final Boss (whose level is only 50), subsequent updates have added more bosses that are much stronger than Piu-Piu himself, going up to level 200.
- Time Abyss: He was approximately 20 million years old long before the first Rite, and who knows how long it's been since then.
Neron
A being bent on destroying the world. Sealed away in the planet's core, and must be periodically resealed with the Rite of Sealing. Except that's all a lie.
- And I Must Scream: Imprisoned for aeons in the planet's core, only let loose a tiny amount every Rite, only to be resealed again.
- Cain and Abel: With the Creator. Although not the way you'd think. He's actually the good brother. Amon sealed him away and is using him as a scapegoat for his own acts after defeating him aeons prior.
- Combat Tentacles
- Dark Is Not Evil
- Eldritch Abomination
- Final Boss: Neron is the final challenge that needs to be overcome before the game's Bittersweet Ending. After he's defeated, the game even rolls the credits and boots you to the main menu, though you'll need to reload the save file and defeat Amon to see the game's true ending.
- Final Boss Preview: A fight with Neron is the very first thing in the game. Although he's only the final boss of the first part of the game.
- God Is Good: Unlike Amon, he genuinely cares for humanity. He is also humanity's true creator.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: Evil bat wings.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom
- Load-Bearing Boss
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Except actually Sealed Good in a Can.
