Characters

Name: Lloyd Irving
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5"8"
Weight: 128 lbs
Race: Human
Weapons: 2 Single-Edged Swords
Occupation: Guardian, Student
Lloyd is your average hero. Though Lloyd isn't bright, he has a flair for fighting, encouraging and crafting. He is brave, just and enthusiastic (even though he loses it quickly). He is one who is optimistic, he helps people and his righteous heart is one that deserves to be rewarded. He is always there to protect the ones he loves and though sometimes he cannot sort out his own feelings, he is there to encourage and drive the people that are discouraged and are looking down further. Therefore, Lloyd is slowly placed as leader of the team. Lloyd also has a strong heart, even if it disrupts a world's culture and pattern he is willing to protect those he loves from death and danger. That is why he tries to find a new way to protect Colette. His ideals are to find a way to make the world a place where no one has to be sacrificed.

Lloyd was found in the woods as an infant with his mother by Dirk, a dwarf. His mother passed on and he continued to learn from Dirk. Due to Dirk being a dwarf, he learnt the dwarven vows and promises to follow them. Dirk's influence on Lloyd is one that is important and is realised throughout the game. Lloyd is close friends with Colette and Genis and is loyal to them. Lloyd discovers about Colette's journey and follows them to protect her. Though it may not seem like it, Lloyd plays a big part in this game and he is the only reason why the party is driven so far. He is the hand that guides the way and drives people further.


Name: Colette Brunel
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5"2"
Weight: 97 lbs
Race: Human
Weapons: Chakram
Occupation: Student, Chosen
Colette is not one might expect as a Chosen. While she has a strong sense of resposibility of the suffering people in Sylvarant, she is carefree and is clumsy at times. Her clumsiness often saves the day though. Though she is willing to sacrifice herself for the well-being of her people, she cannot as the party tries to find a new way. Of course she looks down and gets discouraged as she becomes an obstacle and a burden for the party but Lloyd often deals with that.

As she turns 17, she sets off for the journey of regeneration. In this journey, she must deal with trials and open the seals of the Summon Spirits. Of course, it comes at a price, she has to become Martel's next vessel and for that, she has to become an angel and lose her humanity. She often looks up onto Lloyd and respects him for his power and his heart.


Name: Genis Sage

Age: 12
Height: 4"8"
Weight: 64 lbs
Race: Half Elf
Weapons: Kendama
Occupation: Guardian, Student
Genis grew up in Sylvarant but his real home is unknown to him. He tries to hide the fact that he is a half elf due to the severe racism unfairness towards half elves. Genis is a prodigy, he is a genius for someone his age and is talented too. Though he may be arrogant at times, he is a good friend and can understand other people at times. Genis, however, is not one to look at for bravery. He often shakes with fear when hope is very slim, that is why he depends and looks up to Lloyd.

Genis sets off with Lloyd to follow Colette and her group to regenerate the world. Eventually, Lloyd gets caught but he manages to escape and find the party to go save Lloyd. Of course as you proceed with the game, more is learnt about Genis, his origins, his family and most importantly, his past.


Name: Raine Sage
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Height: 5"5"
Weight: 108 lbs
Race: Half Elf
Weapons: Rod
Occupation: Guardian, Teacher
Raine is a motherly sort of character. Like Genis, her origins are unknown. She is incredibly intelligent and has a wide knowledge of everything. She was a professor at the school that the children of Iselia go to. She also tries to hide the fact that she is a half elf knowing the racist oppression. She accompanies the group due to her knowledge and her ability to translate foreign languages. Of course she is also there because of her familiarity with archaeology and magi-technology. She can be rather arrogant at times and unfair, but she is caring to the party.

Raine sets off originally with Kratos and Colette to aid them in the journey of regeneration. Though she did not really approve of Lloyd's appearance and company later. She soon realises the importance of the party being a whole.

Soon you will continue the game without Kratos and you will realise what and who he is. You will not only have various fights against him but he will make various appearances later which may surprise you.

Kratos appears mid-battle against Vidarr in the temple in Iselia. Of course with him you manage to defeat Vidarr seeing that Kratos' sword handling dwarves that of Lloyd. Later, Kratos is hired to accompany Colette in the journey for regeneration. He disapproves of Lloyd's company later on but soon he realises the importance of Lloyd and respects him much more later on.


Name: Sheena Fujibayashi
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Height: 5"5"
Weight: 106 lbs
Race: Human
Weapons: Cards
Occupation: Assassin, Ninja
Sheena originates from Tethe'alla and her mission was to halt the process of world regeneration. To tell the truth, she made countless efforts to assassinate the chosen. The reason for this is because if the journey succeeds, eventually her world will die out. Eventually, after meeting with Colette and her party, more is revealed. Sheena has a strong sense of justice and follows the ideals of Lloyd about having a world where no one has to sacrifice themselves. Sheena also has obtained the art of summoning, a skill that has long been forgotten in Sylvarant. Without her the dream of having a world of equality where no one has to sacrifice themselves would be impossible.

His ignorance for everything other than girls seems to prove annoying to the party. At first sight, Zelos is carefree, egoistic and arrogant at time. He spent most of his time in wealth and luxury that he seems to be unfamiliar with Sylvarant's culture. Later on you will know the true Zelos, there is a real person living in him who thinks things through, cares for others and actually has some problems with his part of the Chosen.
