3	[[folder:Eusis/Rolf]]
4	!!!'''Voiced by (Drama CD):''' Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa
5	An agent of the Motavian government, operating out of the capital city of Paseo.
6	------
7
8	* TheAce: As a child he was a famous sword prodigy who could single-handily defeat even the most skilled adults. It was his very skills that led to him being handpicked to become an agent of the Motavian government by Paseo's general-governor, who enlisted him as his successor.
9	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He was on the way to becoming this as an orphan, but had some sense knocked into him.
10	* BlowYouAway: Masters the Zan techniques.
11	* CantDropTheHero: The only character who ''must'' be in the party.
12	* CastFromHitPoints: Megid takes half of the hit points of everyone except for Rolf, and then does that much damage to enemies.
13	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique:
14	** Megid. See the reason above.
15	** In the text adventure game detailing his history, he learned the "Tendou Zanhaken Technique" which also had a stiff HP cost. [[BagOfSpilling After becoming an agent, he apparently never used it again.]]
16	* GravityMaster: Learns Gra and Gigra.
17	* HealingHands: Learns Res and Gires, as well as Rever.
18	* HeroesPreferSwords: He is the only character that can use swords, though he can also use knives and low-caliber guns.
19	* LightEmUp: Masters the Tsu techniques.
20	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Nei.
21	%%* LimitBreak: [[BarrierWarrior Royal Guard]].
22	* MagicKnight: Incredibly skilled with bladed weapons, and he wields a vast variety of techniques, both offensive and restorative. It's a good thing he's so well-rounded since he's a required party member.
23	* MakingASplash: Learns Wat and Giwat in ''Generation:2''.
24	* MasterOfAll: Not only is he a MagicKnight, but he's a more formidable fighter than Rudo and the best offensive magician in the party. Amy's a little better at healing (having multi-target heals), and Hugh and Kain have specialized anti-bio and anti-machine abilities, but he can compensate for the former by carrying Starmist, and the latter by... simply blasting stuff.
25	* ParentalAbandonment: Lost both of his parents when he was 10.
26	* PinballProtagonist: Rolf is literally told what to do by someone else in every leg of the game's story. He's ordered to investigate the Biosystems, and then to deal with Climatrol sucking up excess energy, and from there to escape from the Motavian government. Once he gets to Dezo, Lutz is giving the orders, informing him about the Nei equipment, and providing a means to get to Noah and take out Dark Force.
27	* PlayingWithFire: Masters the Foi techniques.
28	* ShockAndAwe: Learns Zonde and Gi-Zonde in ''Generation:2''.
29	* WarpWhistle: Hinas lets you leave a dungeon like an escapipe; Ryuka takes you back to the last town you saved like a telepipe (if you used the Visiphone, it instead takes you back to his home).

31
32	[[folder:Nei]]
33	!!!'''Voiced by (Drama CD):''' Creator/KotonoMitsuishi
34
35	A genetic experiment who was found by Rolf when she was very young.
36	------
37
38	* AdaptationalBadass: Nei in the remake learns more skills such as D-Wand and Nares that makes her stay her welcome as the team's strongest attacker and healer after [[spoiler:being revived after her PlotlineDeath.]]
39	* AdaptationalDyeJob: Has pink hair in the remake. Her hair is purple In the original game.
40	* BarrierWarrior: The ''Generation:2'' remake gives her Deban and Sashu.
41	* CantDropTheHero: Like Rolf, she cannot be taken out of the party. This would be subverted in a cruel way where the only time she leaves the party is [[spoiler:when ''she dies'' in Climatrol.]]
42	* CombatMedic: She specializes in attacking but also starts off knowing the Res spell. The remake would also allow her to learn Nares at later levels and her LimitBreak recovers a party member's TP.
43	* CrutchCharacter: Nei levels twice as fast as anyone else and is the fastest character after Shir, but she only learns a handful of techniques compared to the others. She also can't hold any shields or emels, encouraging the game's DualWielding mechanic.
44	* CuteMonsterGirl: She's a HalfHumanHybrid and her only non-human trait is having a pair of large ears that point upwards.
45	* DeaderThanDead: After her death at Climatrol, the Clone Labs no longer have access to her biomonster DNA pattern, so she can't be cloned.
46	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:She dies in Rolf's arms.]]
47	* FragileSpeedster: Her defensive equipment sucks, but she'll almost always strike first, plus she's made for DualWielding.
48	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: She met Rudo several months before the start of the story, where she received a Silver Bullet necklace as a token of friendship. But neither of them remembered the encounter as Nei was only a young child at the time.
49	* HalfHumanHybrid: Half human, half biomonster.
50	* HappilyAdopted: With Rolf.
51	* HatesBeingAlone: Has serious abandonment issues and panics when Rolf reports for duty while she's still asleep in the remake even though he's only gone for a few minutes.
52	* HealingHands: Has access to Res, and the remake also gives her Nares (no intermediary Gires).
53	* HeavySleeper: In the remake. Rolf makes, "No oversleeping," a condition of allowing her to join him.
54	* KillTheCutie: One of the earliest examples of a major main character canonically dying in a JRPG, preceding [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aerith]] by 8 years.
55	* LimitBreak: [[ManaPotion Last Force]].
56	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Rolf.
57	* MeaningfulName: According to in-game text, Nei means "the human that is not human."
58	** It's also used as an "ancient word of power", as both ''PSII'' and ''PSIII'' have very powerful Nei equipment as the InfinityPlusOneSword for various characters.
59	* PlotlineDeath: [[OlderThanTheyThink Years before Final Fantasy VII made it popular]], she is killed [[spoiler: at Climatrol]]. Can be averted in the remake.
60	* PointyEars: Despite what the original Genesis cover art would have you believe.
61	* RequiredPartyMember: Up to and including Climatrol.
62	* SacrificialRevivalSpell: Two of her four techniques sacrifice her life to heal party members.
63	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the remake, you can revive her after her plotline death. But she doesn't have any more story relevance aside from additional side dialogue and being included in the ending.]]
64	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her one-piece "battle teddy" exposes half her breast and most of her thighs.
65	* UrExample: Nei is the first numan character in Phantasy Star, though the name wouldn't be used until much later games in the series.
66	* WolverineClaws: Oddly referred to as "bars" in the localization.
67	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite appearing to be the same age as Rolf, Nei is only 2 years old.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Rudger/Rudolf "Rudo" Steiner]]
71	A BountyHunter who fights Biomonsters to avenge his wife and daughter.
72	------
73
74	* CrusadingWidower: See above.
75	* DeathSeeker: His profile in World of Phantasy Star reveals that this is the reason he seeks out dangerous jobs.
76	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: He met Nei several months before the start of the story and gave her a Silver Bullet necklace as token of friendship, but neither of them remember it since Nei was a young child at the time.
77	* TheGunslinger: All of his best weapons are firearms.
78	* LimitBreak: [[DesperationAttack Revenge]].
79	* MagicallyIneptFighter: Just like Odin from the first game, he has no magical capability whatsoever. Amusingly, you can have Ustvestia teach him Musik anyway.
80	* MightyGlacier: Not very fast, but has exceptionally high defense and very strong offensive power with his guns.
81	* StoicWoobie: His profile also states that he doesn't let his pain and his hatred for Biomonsters show, always acting stoic and cool-headed.
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Anne Saga/Amy Sage]]
85	A doctor hailing from Oputa.
86	------
87
88	* BarrierWarrior: Between Deban, Shu, and Sashu, she has defensive buffs covered.
89	* CarryABigStick: Her best weapons are Fire Staves.
90	* GravityMaster: Learns Gra and Gigra, albeit at very high levels.
91	* LimitBreak: [[BackFromTheDead Na-Reverser]].
92	* TheMedic: She ''is'' a doctor, after all.
93	* PlayingWithFire: Learns Foi.
94	* PowerNullifier: She alone can equip the Silentshot, a weapon that does no damage but silences the enemy.
95	* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks like a teenager, but is actually 23 years old, making her the ''second oldest'' party member just behind Rudo.
96	* SacrificialRevivalSpell: Just like Nei, but you'll be better off casting Sar.
97	* WhiteMagicianGirl: She's a very caring and compassionate person, the majority of her techniques are healing or defensive buffs, and she's terrible at physical combat. In fact, her best contribution on offense are attacks that ignore defense, such as the acid shot or a piece of equipment that casts an offensive technique when used in combat.
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Huey Reane/Hugh Thompson]]
101	A biologist who accompanies Rolf to help end the Biomonster threat.
102	------
103
104	* BlowYouAway: Learns Zan and Gizan.
105	* CarryABigStick: His best weapons are Laconia Maces.
106	* CripplingOverspecialization: In the long run, Kain's power set is more useful than Hugh's, as biological enemies usually have low defense, which makes any party member effective on them, while mechs tend to require guns and techniques.
107	* GravityMaster: Learns Gra and Gigra.
108	* GreenThumb: In college, he specialized in genetically engineering plants.
109	** FailedASpotCheck: When a [[GoneHorriblyWrong rapidly evolving plant biomonster]] started causing trouble at the college, it took until after its destruction for Hugh to put two and two together...
110	* HealingHands: Learns Res and Gires.
111	* LethalJokeCharacter: He's still a MasterOfNone in the remake, especially after robots take over as the game's random encounters. But his Sulfur LimitBreak targets all enemies, has a fast charge rate, deals high damage, and has a high chance of paralyzing enemies, including the FinalBoss...
112	* LimitBreak: [[UniversalPoison Sulfur]].
113	* MakingASplash: Learns Wat and Giwat in ''Generation:2''.
114	* MasterOfNone: Aside from his personal biologic-affecting techniques, he doesn't learn the final level of anything.
115	* PlayingWithFire: Learns Foi and Gifoi.
116	* ScarfOfAssKicking: The remake gives him a red scarf to give him a more distinct design.
117	* SquishyWizard: His best armor is the ''Ceramic Chest'' available in Piata. Even the ''Generation:2'' remake only marginally improved his options with the Zirconium Chest, which is only a few defense points better.
118	* TacticalRockPaperScissors: Specializes in destroying organic enemies.
119	* UselessUsefulSpell: Has a lot of status debuffs that don't really help much.
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Amia Amirski/Anna Zirski]]
123	Another BountyHunter, but instead of Biomonsters, she specializes in hunting ''people'', namely other hunters who have gone rogue.
124	------
125
126	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair and a courageous heart
127	* LadyOfWar: Fights exclusively with whips and [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang slashers]].
128	* LifeDrain: Fanbi drains life from the target and restores Anna's in trade.
129	* LimitBreak: [[MagicAntidote Medical Treat]].
130	%%* TheQuietOne
131	* StatusBuff: Shift allows her to boost her own attack power, and it also stacks over uses. She can also cast Ner to boost an ally's speed.
132	* TeamChef: In the remake, when tasked to create items with Shir, they will make cake together that can be used for healing.
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Kains Jian/Josh Kain]]
136	A man who wanted to be a mechanic, but always ended up trashing whatever he was trying to repair.
137	------
138
139	* AdaptationalDyeJob: Had lavender hair in the original, but was changed to dark turquoise to make him more distinct from Hugh.
140	* BlowYouAway: Learns Zan and Gizan.
141	* ChivalrousPervert: In the remake, he was interested in joining Rolf's team because of the rumors of him traveling with an attractive woman that is Nei. Although, he reassures the women that he's a gentleman.
142	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In the original, his sprite was a PaletteSwap of Hugh's, the remake gives Hugh a scarf while Kain is given spikier turquoise hair and white gloves.
143	* TheGunslinger: Not as much as Rudo, but most of his better weapons are guns.
144	* LastNameBasis: "Kain" is his default name in the English version of the original game.
145	* LimitBreak: [[StuffBlowingUp Burst Touch]].
146	* ShockAndAwe: Learns Zonde and Gi-Zonde in ''Generation:2''.
147	* TacticalRockPaperScissors: Specializes in destroying mechanical enemies.
148	* WalkingTechBane: The basis for his expertise in robot-affecting techniques. His job is even listed as "Wrecker".
149	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Has an accent that shortens a lot of his words and makes them be spelled differently in the original.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Shilka Levinia/Shir Gold]]
153	A thief who joins Rolf sheerly for the thrill of it.
154	------
155
156	* AwesomeButImpractical: Shir is the only character to learn Nagra, the strongest gravity technique. However, Nazan is learned much earlier, also hits every enemy, and has nearly half the TP cost of Nagra.
157	* BlowYouAway: Masters the Zan techniques.
158	* ClassyCatBurglar: The "rich thrill seeker" subtype, and more so when she was working alone.
159	* DeviousDaggers Shir Gold, being the resident thief of the party, can only equip knives and daggers. Sadly, what should have been her best weapon, the Laconia Dagger, has absolutely terrible stats, forcing her to equip Laser Knives instead (or just put on two emels and go full mage instead).
160	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Not as much as Kain and Hugh, but in the original, Shir's sprite was a PaletteSwap of Amy's, the remake would have Amy keep her shawl while Shir's white collar stays as a collar.
161	* FragileSpeedster: Even more than Nei.
162	* Fiction500: The Levinia/Gold family is incredibly wealthy, so much that calling Shir a princess would actually be insulting.
163	* GravityMaster: Masters the Gra techniques.
164	* LimitBreak: [[RazorWind Tornado]].
165	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: She doesn't really care about justice and morals, only wants to see what kind of treasure she'll get her hands on.
166	* PlayingWithFire: Learns Foi and Gifoi.
167	* PunnyName: "Sure gold", or easy money.
168	* StickyFingers: She doesn't ''need'' to steal, but does so because it's exciting.
169	* TeamChef: In the remake, when tasked to create items with Amia, they will make cake together that can be used for healing.
170	* VideoGameStealing: Shir has a random chance of stealing from any arms, armor, or item store you enter with her in the party. If she does so, she'll travel back to Rolf's home in Paseo to rejoin the group, item in hand. If you grind her to level 10 and travel to Paseo's Central Tower's baggage room, she might steal the Visiphone, a portable SaveToken.
171	* WarpWhistle: Just like Rolf, she can cast Ryuka and Hinas. This helpfully explains how Shir can get back to Paseo so easily by herself.
172	* WealthsInAName: Her surname is "Gold" in the original English version and she is a well-off young lady.
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	[[folder:Neifirst]]
176	!!!'''Voiced by (Drama CD):''' Creator/KotonoMitsuishi
177
178	* AntiVillain: She was created in the Biosystems Lab, which determined that she was "dangerous to humans" and tried to dispose of her, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy causing her to turn against humanity]]. While by the time of the game, she's gone from merely "dangerous" to "sadistic and cruel," it's clear that she was never given much of a chance to be anything else.
179	* ArtificialHuman: The original humanoid Biomonster.
180	* ClimaxBoss: NothingIsTheSameAnymore after the revelation of her identity and the battle with her.
181	* DiscOneFinalBoss: Defeating her completes your original mission, but now you've got new problems.
182	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In the original, she's simply a PaletteSwap of Nei, being blue all over. In the remake, she's given a more mature facial structure and golden armor plates were added onto her outfit.
183	* EvilTwin: Of Nei, natch. Though since Neifirst is the original, it would be more accurate to call Nei the Good Twin.
184	* HalfHumanHybrid: She's composed of both human and Biomonster DNA.
185	* HeroKiller: She will challenge Nei alone in a DuelBoss fight, and will very likely kill her easily. While it's still possible to defeat her as Nei, [[ButThouMust she still dies afterwards.]]
186	* LaserBlade: Unlike Nei, she appears to use one of these.
187	* MeaningfulName: According to in-game text, Nei means "the human that is not human."
188	* MonsterLord: The first Biomonster, and essentially a human with pointy ears rather than the modified animals and such.
189	* NotSoSimilar: She tries to give a BreakingSpeech to Nei that since she is born from her DNA, she hates humanity as much as she does. But Nei denies it, refusing to stand by as Neifirst creates more monsters to terrorize humanity even if they mistreated biomonsters like her in the past.
190	* PointyEars: Being the original being who Nei splintered off from, Neifirst naturally has them as well.
191	* PsychoPrototype: The original Nei, and unlike her sister, is antagonistic to humanity.
192	* SuperPrototype: She is the most powerful Biomonster on Mota, and far stronger than her sister Nei.
193	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds
194	[[/folder]]
195
196	[[folder:Mother Brain]]
197	* AIIsACrapshoot: Subverted. It turns out that she's working just fine, but she's working for the enemy.
198	* TheComputerIsYourFriend: Subverted. It looks like she's a glitchy protector of Motavia, but her intentions have nothing to do with the good of humanity. She was specifically programmed to take over, weaken and destroy Algol's civilization.
199	* FinalBoss: The very last enemy you fight in the game.
200	%%* MasterComputer
201	%%* OneBadMother
