A list of the characters found in the Playstation era EasternRPG ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 2}}''.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Playable Characters]]
!Ashley Winchester

A young man who belongs to a military organization called the Musketeers, later promoted to a special task force code-named [=ARMs=]. After a terrorist attack he finds himself [[CursedWithAwesome burdened with great power.]] His weapon is an advanced [[BayonetYa bayonet]].

* AwesomeMcCoolName: His name is Ashley Winchester and he's just a freeloader in a bread shop.
* BigDamnHeroes: Ashley does this a few times.
* {{BFS}}: Both his bayonet's blade, which is ridiculously large, and Argetlahm.
* DemonicPossession: He is possessed by Lord Blazer at the end of the prologue, but is actually able to keep him in check and even gets a SuperMode from him. [[spoiler:Until the final battle, that is.]]
* EmpathicWeapon: Argetlahm
* EnemyWithin: He fuses with a demon destined to destroy the world.
* EvolvingWeapon: You can buy upgrades for it as you go along.
* GenderBlenderName: For those who don't realize that "Ashley" was once more prominently a guy's name.
* InvoluntaryTransformation: His transformation into the demon-thing Protoblazer in the first part of the main story.
* TheKidWithTheLeash: He must contain [[spoiler: Lord Blazer]] within himself.
* LightningBruiser: Especially when he obtains Access.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: His Knight Blazer form.

!Lilka Eleniak

A teenage wizard-in-training who takes her missing sister's place in the team, despite her self-doubts. She fights with [[ParasolOfPain umbrellas]].

* BigEater: Like [[VideoGames/WildArms1 Cecelia]] before her, and like Cecilia justified by her being a Crest Sorceress who needs the extra calories.
* BlackMagicianGirl
* ChildMage
* CuteWitch
* DeadLittleSister: Inverted: [[spoiler: Lilka's big sister is trapped in an alternate dimension]].
* HairDecorations
* ImprobableWeaponUser
* IneptMage: Though only really when teleporting.
* ParasolOfPain
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jelly rolls.

!Brad Evans

A large man who is an expert in heavy weapons and explosives. Originally the hero of a revolution, he was later imprisoned for "war crimes" (before joining ARMS.) He uses metal gloves as his weapons.

* {{Badass}}: He's even the only one who single-handledly has the necessary power to defeat [[SealedEvilInACan Ragu O'Ragula]]. Not only is he Badass, but just [[WalkingShirtlessScene watch him move]].
** BadassLonghair
* ClearMyName: Brad is falsely accused of [[spoiler: the nuclear destruction of his home country]]. Possibly subverted in that he's never officially cleared.
* ClosetKey: Billy seems to be this for Brad. Not that Brad was ever ''necessarily'' closeted, as he doesn't always volunteer details about his personal life either way.
* [[spoiler: DeadPersonImpersonation: A positive variation: he is actually filling in for his crippled best friend.]]
* EvolvingWeapon: Like Ashley's bayonet, you can buy upgrades for his bazooka.
* ExplosiveLeash: His collar.
* [[spoiler: FakingTheDead: His almost HeroicSacrifice.]]
* HomoeroticSubtext: With Billy, in the Western localization. It's less subtext and more text in the Japanese game.
* KillSat: Sky Eye.
* MightyGlacier
* TheScapegoat: He was imprisoned for 5 years for a crime he didn't commit.
* StraightGay: With Billy Pilder.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: This is half-true, as his shirt has only one shoulder strap, showing a good portion of his torso at all times.

!Kanon

A bionic, female bounty hunter, who at first opposes the group but later joins it. She uses daggers (and her bionic implants) in combat.

* ArtificialLimbs: Her arm.
* CutscenePowerToTheMax
* FragileSpeedster
* HeroAntagonist: Until after the third time you fight.
* HonorBeforeReason: Kanon is obsessed with her family honor.
* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: She's put in this position with regards to Ashley. [[spoiler:She stays her hand, of course.]]
* MysteriousMercenaryPursuer
* RedemptionDemotion: Kanon seems to stop being so awesomely powerful when she joins the party (at least until you unlock her later skills). Justified, as she took a tremendous amount of damage in a short time before joining the party and it's a miracle she's still alive at all, let alone being able to move.
* RecurringBoss
* WakeUpCallBoss: She is ''ridiculously'' powerful and fast, even if you've been pouring your Personal Skill points into the GameBreaker skills. [[ThatOneBoss And let's not even talk about the later two fights.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist

!Tim Rhymeless

An innocent boy who discovers he's the ChosenOne to receive powers from the planet's spirits. Fights with a [[MagicStaff staff]].

* ChekhovsGunman: He is introduced a good long while before he becomes vastly important to the game's plot, although his giving Ashley a Guardian Medium and his "enter name" screen having a portrait are big clues.
* ChildMage
* HairDecorations
* MysticalWaif
* SummonMagic: He provides this for all the heroes.
* [[WhiteMagicianGirl White Magician Boy]]: At first, although he wanders more into TheRedMage territory later.

!Marivel Armitage

A female inventor who helps the team with their technological needs. She becomes playable after a specific subquest, where it is revealed that she's actually [[spoiler:the last of a race of vampire-like beings]]. A pair of robots fight for her.

* ChildMage: Or at least, she looks like a child.
* HumongousMecha: Marivel uses these in her summon magic.
* ImprobableWeaponUser
* InsufferableGenius
* PowerCopying: Marivel can learn certain enemy abilities thanks to her [[spoiler: vampiric heritage]].
* SummonMagic
* [[spoiler: OurVampiresAreDifferent]]

!Irving Vold Valeria

The commander of [=ARMs=]. He purchased the unit after it was decimated in a terrorist attack, and appointed Ashley, Lilka, and Brad as its initial members.

* [[spoiler: BrotherSisterIncest]]
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: He's pulling the strings behind everything. And we mean ''everything.'']]
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices himself along with his sister to stop the end of the world.]]
* NecessaryEvil: [[spoiler: He formed both the heroes and the villains as a two-tiered plan to gather information as well as global resources in order to stop a [[NegativeSpaceWedgie sentient]] [[AnotherDimension dimension]] from swallowing their world. The villains could use whatever tactics they wanted; and the heroes would be able to get the combined support of the world's governments who wanted them to stop the villains.]]
* [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist]]
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy
* XanatosGambit: He pulls off a masterful gambit by [[spoiler: creating both the heroes and the villains' organizations. Whichever side wins, Valeria will have united the whole world in pursuit of his true goal - the destruction of the Kuiper Belt. The world would NEVER have united in time to stop it without his creation of a threat. Of course, if ODESSA won, they'd stop the threat too.]]

* RecurringBoss

The source of monsters for Odessa and the person who controls Randolf the Magic Key.

!!Antenora

An assassin and strategist for Odessa. [[spoiler: She joined Odessa in order to exact revenge on Vinsfeld, who was responsible for the deaths of her family.]]

A very tall man and the leader of Odessa's troops. He's prone to spouting cheesy lines and uses a windmill-like three-bladed claw as a weapon.

* AFatherToHisMen

* DualBoss
* GoldfishPoopGang
* GoodBadTranslation: All of Liz's dialogue. Already a comic relief character and one half of the game's GoldfishPoopGang, his "poetic" Japanese dialogue was translated literally. The result is both [[TranslationTrainWreck incomprehensible]] and hilarious.
