The boisterous head of LaResistance, Shileska, the party agrees to work with Max's group in Celestia in order to defeat Balir. Max is a rather simple-minded man, and prefers to let his insane strength and durability solve his problems for him. Amusingly, he also wants to TakeOverTheWorld. He wields a {{BFG}} in combat, which he either uses as a bludgeoning weapon, or fires a variety of [[FrickinLaserBeams beam weapons]] from it.

A Merchant the party meets a ways into the game, Rassius agrees to help them find the Wind Craymel, Sylph. During the search, Rassius displays a number of talents that seem unusual for what appears to be a normal Merchant to possess. [[spoiler: This is because he's actually the Senior Knight of the Inferian Empire, and was spying on the party. He attempts to stop them crossing over into Celestia, but later learns the truth behind the nature of Celestia, and instead saves them from certain death at Shizel's hands, giving his life to do so. Like Reid, he can command the Divine Aurora, but he never manages to finish his training.]] He also uses a similar fighting style to Reid, though his style involves more Thrusts than Reid's, and is more refined and trained.

* ArtificalStupidity: Arguably GameplayAndStoryIntegration on this part since he's...not the brightest. He tends to bludgeon with his weapons, which isn't bad considering that this does essentially make him the third melee next to Reid and Farah. But his weapons have a long charge time and are ranged; so naturally unless you program him to keep his distance, he'll run in and get interrupted.

!! Efreet

[[quoteright:307:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/307px-Efreet_ToE_PSX_7023.jpg]]

One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Fire. Opposed to Celsius, the spirit of Ice. Efreet reacts violently upon encountering the party, not even giving them time to plead their case to save the world. After defeating him, Undine more or less forces him to help. Befitting his nature, Efreet teaches a number of powerful offensive skills, and his summon is the first that is all about raw damage, with no tricks added in.

Tropes associated with Efreet:

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever and IncredibleShrinkingMan (Efreet's size tends to change based on his mood; when he's angry he grows and when he's
* ConflictBall (He more or less attacks you for no reason when you first meet him)
* GentleGiant (He calms down a ''lot'' after you beat him and reveals himself to be fairly well-natured despite his appearence)
* KillItWithFire
* PowerFist
* UnskilledButStrong (Efreet's melee attacks in his boss fight mostly revolve around him smashing you with his fists.)

!! Rem

[[quoteright:329:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/329px-Rem_8569.jpg]]

The Governing Craymel of Inferia, and the spirit of Light. Opposed to Shadow, the spirit of Darkness. After gathering the three Primary Craymels of Inferia, Undine, Sylph and Efreet, they come together to summon Rem, who informs the party of how to reach Celestia. She appears from time to time to offer the party guidance, and ultimately tests their talents at the Regulus Knole, after which, she joins their cause.

Tropes associated with Rem:

* TheArcher
* HealingHands (To a lesser extent than Undine, as she teaches no healing spells directly. Her summoning spell's only effect is to heal the party.)
* HolyHandGrenade
* WingedHumanoid

!! Undine

[[quoteright:329:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Undine_4526.jpg]]

One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Water. Opposed to Volt, the spirit of Lightning. Undine is the first spirit encountered by the party, and she fights them to test their strength. After being defeated, she agrees to help the group in their quest. Undine is particularly critical, as all the healing spells Keele or Meredy can learn are learned through her.

Tropes associated with Undine:

* AnimeAnatomy (In-game at least)
* HealingHands (Particularly notable in her summoning spell, which deals minimal damage but restores the entire party to full health.)
* MakingASplash
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent
* ProngsOfPoseidon
* ThatOneBoss

!! Sylph

[[quoteright:329:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/329px-Sylph_ToE_PSX_1895.jpg]]

One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Wind. Opposed to Gnome, the spirit of Earth. Sylph is encountered by the party not long after Undine, and, just as she does, battles the party to test their abilities. Sylph has few abilities for direct attacks on his own, and instead is best used to link with other Craymels to boost their own attacks, or learn supportive spells.

Tropes associated with Sylph:

* TheArcher
* CuteShotaroBoy
* GetBackHereBoss (As Sylph can fly and is rather small, he tends to spend a lot of time avoiding your during his boss fight.)
* FragileSpeedster
* WingedHumanoid
* RazorWind

The Main Protagonist of the game, Reid Hershel is a simple hunter, living in the town of Rasheans, before Meredy quite literally drops into his life. Initially apathetic and irresponsible, Reid develops over time and becomes a proper hero in his own right. [[spoiler:He wields the Divine Aurora, the power to counter Shizel's Dark Aurora.]] Though he starts with AnAxeToGrind, he can also wield [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] or [[BladeOnAStick spears]], and is the primary Melee fighter of the group.






** TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive (Subverted: while Hyades ''does'' attack Reid's hometown, he does so to find Meredy rather than him, and it doesn't provide much motivation to Reid either way.)




Reid's childhood friend and a farmer girl from Rasheans, she is intensely driven almost immediately to help Meredy, and drags Reid along for the ride. The reason for her drive to help others is eventually revealed to be guilt from her childhood. She's a Martial Artist, and also has some ability to heal others, making her something of a secondary Melee fighter.




A mysterious girl who drops from the sky aboard a Craymel Craft, Meredy warns Reid, Farah and Keele of the impending doom known as the "Grand Fall" and tries to get help in averting the crisis. [[spoiler:Eventually it's revealed that her own mother is the source behind the Grand Fall, and that Meredy has the latent ability to harness the Dark Aurora, the very power causing it.]] Meredy is also a Craymel Mage.







Childhood friends with Reid and Farah, Keele moved from Rasheans to Mintche to pursue a life as a scholar, and is thus incredibly knowledgeable on a number of subjects, but somewhat out of touch on the social side of things, rude, and also very out of shape. He eventually softens up, and comes to respect Meredy and Celestia more than even Reid and Farah do. Keele joins Meredy as a Craymel mage, and is somewhat better at the offensive side then she is.







Descended from the great Pirate Aifread himself, Chat is a pirate girl who puts the party through a long series of tests shortly after they arrive in Celestia, and eventually views them as being worthy of joining her crew, though in reality, this amounts more to her loaning out her CoolShip, the ''Van Eltia'' to them. For the most part she prefers to remain on board, but she can be called to fight if necessary. Chat is a ranged fighter, throwing all manner of weapons at enemies from her BagOfHolding.
