History Characters / PhantasyStarUniverse

The main character of Portable 2 (Episode 1 in Infinity) and Episode 2 in Portable 2 Infinity. A former mercenary, who after a turn of events, joins Little Wing and forms a team with Emilia. Unknowingly, their arrival would change and motivate the lives of people they meet later on, for the better.

* EternalHero: S/he becomes this for the Portable games, if data is imported from Portable to Portable 2 or Portable to Portable 2 Infinity.
* FiveManBand: Originally the team is consisted of the Player and Emilia. Even though some members only join temporarily, if they were to be categorized they fit the following roles:
** TheLeader: Player Character
** TheLancer: [[spoiler:Shizuru Shu]]
** TheSmartGuy: Emilia
** TheBigGuy: Yut
** TheChick: Lumia
** SixthRanger: Nagisa
* AFriendInNeed: [[spoiler: In Episode 2, they decide to help Nagisa in her quest to find the Dark Falz Fragments. This eventually leads on them becoming good friends.]]
* AHeroToHisHometown: After the events of Episode 1, s/he is considered as Hero by the members of Little Wing and [[spoiler: Nagisa and Wynarl]]. During dialogue most people call s/he a hero.

* HeroicSacrifice: Near the beginning, when s/he and Emilia were celebrating a victory over the Svaltia, it turns out that the [[NotQuiteDead Svaltia was not dead]]. Before it can strike Emilia, the player pushes her out of the way and takes the blow for her. Later on it is revealed that they died, but thanks to Mika, she was able to repair their damaged flesh and resurrected them.
%%* TheHero
* LivingEmotionalCrutch:
** The player becomes this to Emilia. This allows the Player to get her to open up to him/her while also encouraging her to try new things. Because of their time together with Emilia, whenever she needs any type of support they are the ones to help and encourage her.
** He also becomes this to Nagisa over the course of Episode 2 in ''Infinity''.
* NiceGuy: Most dialogue options, show that he or she is a good person and very friendly towards others.
* OldHeroNewPals: If you import the same character from Portable to Portable 2. Your previous partner was Vivienne, in Portable 2, you have Emilia, Yut and others.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Emilia. Even though at the beginning the player doesn't know her as long as, Kraz or Chealsea, it's for certain that Emilia and the Player have the closest relationship by the end of Episode 1. There is also a bit of [[ShipTease ship tease]] between the two, in both Episode 1 and 2, although most of the time it's just [[PlatonicLifePartners platonic]]. There are a lot of moments that show how close they are. Some examples include:
** On their first day at Little Wing, after showing you your room, she goes to '''SLEEP IN YOUR BED'''.
** Emilia has entered the main character's room, several times without their permission and in their absence.
** [[spoiler:At the beginning of Chapter 9, when Emilia is to go to the Guardians HQ, to use Tenma, she asks the player to accompany her. One of the choices is "Can't you find someone else", to which she replies that she can't and she does not want to find someone else, because doesn't want anyone else besides, the main character to accompany her.]]
** Before the final dungeon, she admits the player is the only person she can be honest about her feelings and how talking to them makes her worries go away;
* ProtagonistWithoutAPast: We never find out the origins of the Player Character. By Portable 2 they are known, to be a mercenary. Averted if save data from Portable is imported, where they were [[spoiler: members of the Guardian's Investigation force and Vivienne's partner, but get discharged]].

* SupportingProtagonist: Played with a bit in Episode 1. While the player character is definitely [[TheHero The Hero]] regardless, in the game's story, most of the focus is on Emilia, with the player taking on something of a {{Deuteragonist}} role. In Episode 2, the player takes the role of {{The Protagonist}} with [[spoiler:Nagisa]] taking over as {{Deuteragonist}}.

A lazy and unmotivated girl who works as a mercenary for Little Wing, mainly because her boss is also her reluctant legal guardian. She suffers from a critical lack of ambition, and the story of ''Portable 2'' focuses on how she regains her drive after becoming the partner of the PlayerCharacter and being possessed by the Ancient known as Mika.

* BrilliantButLazy: She really hates working to the point of irritating Kraz before Player Character joins Little Wing. If she cares to use her brain for once, she can figures out things even faster than party members in average.
* HappilyAdopted: By the change of her name into Emilia Muehler by the end of Portable 2, it's implied that this happens.

* PleaseWakeUp: Does this [[spoiler: to the player character after he/she [[TakingTheBullet pushes her out of the way of a fatal attack and ends up taking it in her place.]]]]

%%* DisappearsIntoLight

* AnAxeToGrind: The Laia Axe designed in her honor becomes her weapon in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2''.

* DoubleWeapon: Beyond ''Episode 1'', his WeaponOfChoice tends to be a set of Crea Doubles, a Double Saber resembling the weapon type as it appears in VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline rather than the more oar-like designs common in ''Universe''.

* DualWielding: Her WeaponOfChoice is a pair of photon daggers.

* SpacePirates: He has the air of a pirate captain. His WeaponOfChoice is even a flashy, glimmering laser cutlass.

* AnAxeToGrind: The Laia Axe designed in her honor becomes her WeaponOfChoice in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2''.

* MultiMeleeMaster: Uses Spears, Twin Claws, and Axes evenly enough that she lacks a true WeaponOfChoice. She is depicted with both her Spear and her Twin Claws in official art for ''Ambition of the Illuminus''.

* GunsAkimbo: He uses this among his other WeaponOfChoice. He's also seen wearing this during the game's opening and cutscenes.

* WhipItGood: Her WeaponOfChoice among others. This is also a weapon she's seen with during game's opening.

* ShesGotLegs: Her outfit certainly emphasises her long and shapely legs.

* ShesGotLegs: Our first sight on her at the game's beginning is her exposed leg. Granted we as the player are supposed to be awake recently from an injury, but still...

* CryCute: [[spoiler:In the True Ending, after leaving Little Wing, thinking there was nothing there for someone who assaulted its members, she wanders Gurhal, attempting to prove that Wainal was a liar. She comes across the player character, Emilia and their friends, however, and realizing that he did give her the one thing she wanted most on her birthday, she starts crying tears of joy.]]

%%* BlindingBangs

* KnifeNut: Typically seen with a pair of daggers. She [[InvertedTrope inverts]] the [[WeaponOfChoice usual qualities]] of a dagger wielder by being one of the most straitlaced members of the main cast.

* {{Meganekko}}: A MsFanservice who wears glasses.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade B, though her "skirt" is actually her jacket.

* RogueProtagonist: [[spoiler:He becomes a literal example in ''Ambitions of the Illuminus'' when he joins the Rogues.]] [[spoiler:Tylor granted him asylum after his failed assassination plot and the two team up to fight the Illuminus.]]

* MsFanservice: She has the largest breast size in the game (larger than the maximum size for a player's character, in fact!). Her normal method of getting past men is to shamelessly flirt with them. It even worked on Fullyen Curtz, who was a staunch [[FantasticRacism CAST Supremacist]] at the time.

Ethan Waber's little sister. She joins the GUARDIANS in ''Episode 3'' as a new recruit, and [[TimeSkip by the events]] of ''Portable 2'' has become [[ActionGirl one of their most elite agents]].

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If you choose not to kill Nagisa in Clad 6, Wynerl pulls the Ark Crowley out of Parum's ground and proceeds to threaten the Gurhal System with it and kidnaps Nagisa in the process. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as not only does he deliberately manipulate things so that the Player Character can go after him, but it turns out he set the whole thing up in an attempt to get Nagisa to want to live and have hope, thus expelling Dark Falz from her and absorbing it into himself in order to have her and the Player Character's team defeat it for good, [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself in the process]]]]

* TheCommiesMadeMeDoIt: [[spoiler:He is coerced into assassinating president Dallgun by the Illuminus' leader. The attempt fails and he is forced to flee.]]

* MultiMeleeMaster: Uses a variety of close-range weapons from Twin Claws to Spears.

* RedemptionDemotion: [[spoiler:Played with since he only ''appears'' to have done a FaceHeelTurn. As a Rogue, Ethan uses two S-Rank weapons (Crea Doubles and Blackheart), but when [[spoiler:he]] becomes a GUARDIAN again, he keeps his Crea Doubles but trades in his Blackheart for the A-Rank [=DB's=] Sword. He also downgrades his Sword and Wand.]]

* KnifeNut: Typically seen with a pair of daggers though. She [[InvertedTrope inverts]] the [[WeaponOfChoice usual qualities]] of a dagger wielder by being the most straitlaced member of the main cast.
