Goodly Folks

Hero: Called Hero because he is the Hero of the story and has no default name. He's very strong willed, blahdy blah, basically your stereotypical hero character. Only difference is he's got a smart mouth sometimes.

Lufia: Well, her name is the title of the game, but that doesn't make her important. In fact she's not. At all. Completely and totally irrelevant, in fact. Yep. Nothin special or secret about her. Nothing. Nope, you wont find anything horribly freaky and different about this one. It wont make you cry your eyes out and cut the legs off your bed so the monsters can't hide under it... Nope. Shes just your average low HP, low attack, high magic, speedy female RPG character. Nothin special.

Aguro: Ah, the obligatory really strong fighter with no magic. :D Seriously folks he's pretty cool. High ranking, green hair, able to use swords Hero can't. Plus he's just darned usefull. However, I detect some *ahem* sexual tension between him and Jerin, and I'm pretty sure she's still supposed to be a young teen. But in elf years that's like 79 years old, soooo....

Jerin: An elf. Or was she a half elf? Not like there's really any difference in this game. She casts magic, she makes comments that drive the story and she uses a bow, despite the fact that her sprite holds a staff.

 

The Bad People (Stranger Danger!)

Gades: Large, powerfull and overconfident Sinistral. Kicks your ass a couple times then gets his ass kicked a couple times. Think the Sinistrals grunt.
Amon: Larger, more powerfull and more overconfident Sinistral. Think like a luitenant or something.
Daos: Largest, most powerfull and most overconfident Sinistral. General type evil leader dude.
Erim: Uhhh... she revives the other Sinistrals whenever they die. And stuff.
