The Gloria Pirates

    Ishut 

Ishut

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono

The hero of the story, an aspiring pirate who adventures with his childhood friend Pinger. When he meets Ruru and Elisha, he decides to join Gloria and seek out the treasures of Euforia, and becomes a pawn in various world powers' gambits to get their hands on Euforia's power. He is the reincarnation of the king of Euforia, and was originally a citizen of Lukia, though he was smuggled out of their castle at a young age and lived as an ordinary boy. He has immense Will, and his sword is capable of releasing Euforia's super-powerful cards and controlling Euforia itself.

While brash, silly, a little slow on the uptake, and ignorant as to the meaning of "volume control", Ishut is nonetheless a good kid who cares about his friends.


  • Malaproper: Never quite learns that Unions are not called onions.

    Pinger 

Pinger

Voiced by: Emiri Katou

Ishut's childhood friend and only flunky, who has been with him ever since he saved her from Velgas' bullying when they were little. She is much more intelligent and calmer than Ishut, and continually snarks at him and teases him affectionately although her loyalty to him is absolute.

She is actually a chimera, an alchemically created artificial beastman, who was kidnapped and experimented on by Tracey in order to make her a marketable rarity. When Tracey discovered that natural beastmen existed, she abandoned Pinger, who then found her way to Ishut. While Pinger seems to be comfortable with her identity and continually makes cat puns, she still holds a deep grudge against Tracey.


  • The Fair Folk: She is a chimera, an alchemically created artificial beastman. She has technically been turned into a cait sith, and has the white spot to prove it.

    Ruru 

Ruru

Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa

A mysterious girl who falls from the sky in a capsule and offers to lead Ishut to Euforia. She is capable of sensing the Will of the crystals. Ruru has an extremely childish personality, and tends to shock people with her babyish behavior and her diet of ancient relics. She is known as the compass to Euforia, and various influential people attempt to kidnap her along with Ishut.

Unbeknownst to her, Ruru is Symphonia, the humanoid robot who has become known as Euforia's greatest weapon. She alone is capable of processing and integrating inhuman Will into energy, and is very powerful; she can also serve as the control unit and core of Euforia.


    Elisha 

Elisha

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō

Second-in-command of the Gloria pirates and Zazarland's daughter, who has become hyper-competent in order to compensate for her father's laziness and drunken habits. She comes to rescue Ishut and company and invites them to join Gloria on her father's orders, and behaves as someone to look up to for the rest of the crew. Elisha is a renowned sharpshooter who uses two pistols, and has a reputation of being a terrifying hardass who holds the reins on the Gloria. She also takes care of the team's finances.
  • Changeling Fantasy: She was raised by Zazarland without knowing who her mother was. It's also implied that Gariored may be her real father, which is eventually confirmed in the dramas.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Wears her boots with the cuff of one flipped up.
  • Informed Attribute: All promotional materials for the game, and even the battlefield she first appears in, claim that she's tsundere. Aside from occasionally being irritable, she doesn't act like it in the least.

    Zazarland 

Zazarland

Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara

Elisha's father, and the captain of the Gloria. He has a reputation for being immensely powerful (when he isn't plastered) and A Father to His Men, even insisting that every member of his crew call him "Oyaji", or "old man". He knows a lot more than he's telling about Ishut and Ruru, but continually puts off explaining anything to anyone, even refusing to tell Elisha who her mother was.

Seventeen years ago, he was a general in Lukia's army, and was good friends with Gariored and Enryetta. He split ways with them due to their differing views and raised Elisha to be a strong woman and a believer in freedom, and thinks that the freewheeling philosophy of pirates is much more conducive to peace than controlling the world through absolute power or making huge sacrifices. He intends to keep Gariored and Enryetta from getting their hands on Euforia's power.


  • Badass Boast: His battle quote is "Sorry to pop your bubble, but I'm not going to hold back starting from now!"
  • Badass in Distress: He's tossed into a dungeon by Blackmore at the start of the game. His daughter and her new friends quickly free him.
  • Shipper on Deck: According to the bonus dramas, he expects Ishut and Elisha to wind up together.

    Minnesota Grey 

Minnesota Grey

Voiced by: Shinji Kawada

An archaeologist (and certified professor!) whom the party meets in Black Fang's hideout. After a misunderstanding brought on by Ruru's eating relics, he joins them, and provides input on history and geography throughout the story. He is also obsessed with mannerliness, and tends to judge people based on how polite they are or aren't. 26 years old.
  • Signature Move: "Sacrifice". It kills the head of the unit (i.e. him), and bring back the fallen soldiers to battle.

    Locomoco 

Locomoco

Voiced by: Ai Nonaka

A little girl who traveled to this world because she wanted to see Symphonia just once. Despite being very childish and naive, she's also incredibly powerful because she comes from Yumira, "the world of magic". Her magic is candy-based, and she is capable of using strong spells just by licking her lollipop staff. Locomoco joins the party after being rescued from Tracey. She gets along well with Raspberry.

    Raspberry 

Raspberry

Voiced by: Minori Chihara

A sixteen-year-old vampire who came to this world in order to apprehend Rogan and bring him back to the Underworld. It's her job to take care of cases like his and look after the dead as they work to repent for their sins; however, she's very stressed-out and terrified of her boss. She joins up with the party in order to capture Rogan, and is good friends with Locomoco due to their status as outsiders.

    Fiebee 

Fiebee

Voiced by: Ayaka Shimizu

A young knight of Chantier, who left her homeland to try to find reinforcements so that her country's war with Lukia might end. She is short-tempered, stern, and honorable, and extremely loyal to Giselle. She's fairly young and has never actually seen Chantier before it was polluted with war debris.

    Yggdra 

Yggdra

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara

A gatling gun-wielding, trigger-happy bounty hunter who's awfully similar to that other Yggdra. She is exclusive to the A route's version of chapter 4, and joins the party after attacking Gloria because she finds the bounty on Ishut to be too suspicious. She hates Lukia almost as much as Fiebee, and works as a bounty hunter in order to compensate for the cost of caring for her gun, the Centurio Buster, which she inherited from her father Ordene. She gets along well with Elisha.
  • BFG: The Centurio Buster is this, perhaps fittingly given how it's meant to be an analogue to the other Yggdra's weapon, the Gran Centurio- it is approximately as long as Yggdra is tall.
  • Casual Kink: She's stated to be a sexual masochist.
  • Flanderization: Her behavior is far more in line with Japanese fans' memetic perception of original!Yggdra as a self-righteous mass murderer and conqueror than what the original Yggdra actually acted like.
  • Identical Stranger: She is ostensibly not the same Yggdra from Yggdra Union but her identical analogue in Gloria Union's world. In the Sword Maiden class, she even reuses the other Yggdra's sprites and animations.
  • Justice Will Prevail: About half of things she say are a variation of this, with her as Justice personified.
  • Leitmotif: "A Destroyer Clad in Gold", which is a remix of Original!Yggdra's theme, "Yggdra Sortie!". If you change her into the Sword Maiden class by equipping her with a sword item, her theme will change to the classic "Yggdra Sortie!" from Yggdra Union.
  • Nerf: Crusade now only deals 35% additional morale damage to any enemy defeated by it rather than the 50% it did in Yggdra Union.
  • Secret Art: Not under normal circumstances, but if you change her into the Sword Maiden class, she gains exclusive access to "Crusade" (assuming you found the card), which behaves almost identically to how it did in Yggdra Union: If Yggdra is the only one left standing on her side of the clash, instantly wins the battle, dealing additional morale damage to the victim.

    Gangr 

Gangr

Voiced by: Naoya Nosaka

A little yellow-orange robot who joins the party in the game's B route. Was originally meant to be the guardian of the earth ruins.

    Kamuru 

Kamuru

Voiced by: Ryouta Asari

An inexperienced Lukian knight who seeks refuge with the party after accidentally disgracing himself and being slated for execution by Melanie. He is very earnest and enthusiastic, but at the same time unused to the battlefield and somewhat meek, so he forces himself to behave like a Screaming Warrior to keep from losing his nerve. He respects everyone in Gloria a great deal, and has a crush on Elisha, who he refers to as "Shishou"note .

    Anne Cormack 

Anne Cormack

Voiced by: Aki Nakajima

The captain of the Charmnote  Pirates, a lady pirate who's well-known for her greed and her sex appeal. She fights with the party a few times early in the story when she's employed by Black Fang, but otherwise maintains a relationship of intense one-upmanship with Elisha, who she initially doesn't get along with. She is Tracey's younger sister, and one of the few people who really understands her.

Although she spends a good part of the storyline squabbling with Elisha, the two are able to reconcile and become friends after teaming up to defeat Rogan when he starts sexually harassing Anne.


    Eater 

Eater

Voiced by: Minori Chihara

A self-proclaimed traveling minstrel with two oppositely-gendered personalities who joins Gloria in search of inspiration for her lyrics, having written all the songs she can about Gulcasa and Gram Blaze already. This is her second appearance in the series.

    Pamela 

Pamela

Voiced by: Ai Nonaka

The Dept. Heaven series mascot, who is traveling the multiverse to study various mysterious phenomena.

Enemies

    Ashley 

Ashley

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono

Ishut's older twin brother. He is the emperor of Lukia, but is effectively a figurehead, as Gariored is really the one in charge of the country. Despite this, he is adored by the populace, who see him as a tragic figure and are very protective of him. The same as Ishut, he is the reincarnation of the king of Euforia, and has the same powers and sword.

He spent his entire life being horribly abused by Gariored, and due to that and his training to use his powers, he is emotionally stunted and resentful towards Ishut, who was spared the hell he went through. Noting that Euforia's name comes from the word "euphoria", he believes that if he receives Euforia's power he will be able to become happy.


    Gariored 

Gariored

Voiced by: Kosuke Takaguchi

Prime Minister of Lukia, formerly one of its generals. He believes that the world can only be saved through absolute power being used to scare people straight, and fights in order to obtain the power of Euforia for himself. He raised Ashley, treating him as an empty doll that had no use other than to unlock Euforia and the cards for him; this generally comes back to bite him in the ass.

He is the childhood friend of Zazarland and Enryetta, and is implied to have been in a romantic relationship with Enryetta at least in the past.


  • Cruel and Unusual Death: To add insult to injury, he actually explodes in the one ending where Ashley roasting him wasn't fatal.

    Garm 

Garm

Voiced by: Tsuguo Mogami

Leader of the first platoon of the Lukia military. He's said to be an extremely reliable and honorable man. He joined the military ten years ago, and having borne witness to the hardships Ashley has gone through is very protective of him.

    Melanie 

Melanie

Voiced by: Aki Nakajima.

Leader of the third platoon of Lukia's army. She's more of a hardass than Garm, as evidenced by her attempting to execute Kamuru when he runs away from battle and therefore sullies the honor of the knights, but is devoted to Ashley for the same reasons as Garm. She and Garm often attack in tandem.

    Enryetta 

Enryetta

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara

President of the Elmare alliance, childhood friend of Zazarland and Gariored, and Elisha's mother. She was raised from childhood to have an absolute will, and she has come to believe that sacrifice is what is necessary to bring peace. The seventeen years she's spent alone working towards her goal have twisted her intentions, and she has decided that she will be the judge and decide who will be sacrificed, becoming very self-righteous.

She's implied to have been in romantic relationships with both Gariored and Zazarland before, and claims that part of what she wants to do is stop Gariored because she cares about him.


  • Determinator: Is the only character aside from Ishut and Ashley who can use cheater cards without it taking a huge toll on her body.

    Giselle 

Giselle

Voiced by: Ayaka Shimizu

Queen of Chantier. A hundred years ago, she rejected the Lukia emperor's proposal, setting off the war between their nations; now that Lukia is gaining more and more power, her spirit is broken, and she is willing to cooperate with her enemy and attack the heroes if it will get Lukia to agree to a cease-fire. Fiebee and the people of Gloria are able to convince her not to lose hope and to join up with Enryetta, but she is exhausted and dies in battle there.

    Ajo Grafor 

Ajo Grafor

Voiced by: Ryouta Asari

A rather demented scientist who is researching robotics and attempting to perfect the technology necessary to create cyborgs by experimenting on various unwilling humans. His favorite creation is the Ruru Mk-2, a Palette Swap of the original Ruru with no emotions, which he refers to as his daughter. He has little respect for human rights and will generally do anything For Science!. He is initially thought to be in the employ of Lukia, but it turns out that he was actually hired to do research for Elmare.

    Tracey Cormack 

Tracey Cormack

Voiced by: Eri Gouda

Leader of the Leverage merchants. She is an acclaimed alchemist and loves everything rare and marketable, and was the one to resurrect Rogan and Velgas, as well as the one who turned Pinger into a chimera and tried to kidnap Locomoco. Apparently she originally got into alchemy as a way to create a cure-all, but after a number of failures just got drunk on power and started fooling around with living things against their will for money and for the lulz. Like Ajo, she is implied to be in the employ of Elmare. She is ultimately killed by Pinger.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Dresses Anne down for sleeping around, saying that it's fine to sell objects, but that prostitution is objectifying yourself, which isn't okay.

    Kyra 

Kyra

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō

The last survivor of Euforia, who has slept alongside it for the past thousand years, waiting for someone to revive it again. Also happens to be intergender. Kyra is the creator of the six cheater cards and Ruru, and appears before the party to explain why Euforia fell and try to keep them from interfering with the city's revival. Sie has an extremely blunt personality and is rather ambivalent towards both Ishut and Ashley, eventually choosing to go back into hibernation so as to let the new generations decide what to do with Euforia.

    Rogan 

Rogan

Voiced by: Tsuguo Mogami

An eccentric undead pirate who was dragged out of the Underworld by Tracey. Although he wasn't the original target of Tracey's spell, Rogan is still thrilled to be alive again, as he considers this a second chance to enjoy life as a pirate. He's also as petrified of Raspberry's boss as she is, which seems to be another contributing factor.

    Blackmore 

Blackmore

Voiced by: Naoya Nosaka

Leader of the very large pirate group Black Fang, which has a long history of strife with Gloria. He's Velgas' boss, and gains the team's eternal hatred for stabbing Velgas In the Back to try to kill Ishut; after a long chase, he is brought down by Gloria, then killed by Gariored when he tries to barter for his life by giving the party information.

    Velgas 

Velgas

Voiced by: Anri Katsu

Ishut's and Pinger's childhood friend, who has known Ishut for ten years. He has a long-standing crush on Pinger that he only seems able to express through pigtail pulling, which has only made Pinger despise him and cling to Ishut more. Velgas resents Ishut for this and for being strong enough to fight honestly instead of having to resort to trickery, and joined Black Fang in order to defeat Ishut once and for all. He is killed by Blackmore early into the game, but is later revived and turned into a cyborg by Tracey and Ajo Grafor.
