| Ah, here's my take on the characters. Characters first, their Dragon second. Hopefully, it's not as long as my Xenogears Phase 0 . . . And spoilers abound probably, so watch your step. I'll try to avoid them. ^_~ Also, the Prologue is here; at the bottom of the page. Go ahead and check it out! Birthplace: Neet, Mille Seseau Name: Kysia Age: 23 Sex: Female Height: 5'10" Weight: 125 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Blue Hair: Blond Element: Ice Relations: None Rank: Forest orphan / Dragoon Weapon: Sword Armor: Frost Fire Dragoon Dragon: Zyerquox History: Kysia has been an orphan since she was only a few hours old. Her Dragon raised her in the beginning, but then left her to care for herself. When she was seven she entered a small town near Deningrad and became an apprentice at the weapon shop there. She left when she turned thirteen and returned to the forest, eventually making her way into Serdio. (The Prologue picks up there.) ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Zyerquox Element: Ice Color: Bronze Attack: Ice Wave Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Final Freeze Birthplace: Neet, Mille Seseau Name: Dart Age: 23 Sex: Male Height: 6'0" Weight: 190 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Blue Hair: Blond Element: Fire Relations: None Rank: Citizen / Dragoon Weapon: Sword Armor: Red-Eyed Dragoon Dragon: Qionux History: Dart was orphaned when he was five when the Black Monster destroyed Neet in search of Princess Louvia. He escaped with his parents, but his father went back in to stop the Black Monster and his mother followed a little later to help people out. They never returned and Dart ended up in Seles in Serdio (I don't know how he got there). My Take: Dart's magical defense is a little worse than his physical defense. But the difference is usually negligible. A few of his Additions bite; they have bad attack strength and bad SP return, but the rest are decent if not better. Since he can never leave your party, I guess it's a good thing. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Qionux Element: Fire Color: Red-orange Attack: Firestorm Specialty Attack(crystal armor version): Inferno's Rage Birthplace: Unknown Name: Rose Age: Unknown Sex: Female Height: 5'7" Weight: 135 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Blue Hair: Black Element: Dark Relations: None Rank: Dragoon Weapon: Sword Armor: Dark Dragoon Dragon: Suliam History: No one really knows much about Rose's past except Rose, and she's not about to say anything. She can be pretty weird sometimes and knows a lot about the Dragon Campaign; almost enough to make you think she was there . . . My Take: Her magical defense is better than her physical defense, but not by much. Her HP is low and that can mean trouble if you use her against a powerful boss, but her attacks are some of the strongest in your party, even at lower levels. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Suliam Element: Dark Color: Black Attack: Death Cannon Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Total Annihilation Birthplace: Bale, Serdio (maybe?) Name: Lavitz Age: 36 Sex: Male Height: 6'1" Weight: 195 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Blue Hair: Blond Element: Wind Relations: Mother Rank: First Knight / Dragoon Weapon: Spear Armor: Jade Dragoon Dragon: Rivuur History: Lavitz is a third-generation Serdian knight--his father and grandfather were also knights--and he takes his job guarding the king very seriously. He also worries a lot about his mother being alone while he's gone, but she doesn't appear to be that concerned; she's more worried about him getting killed. My Take: His magical defense really could use some work, but for the time you have him, it's quite adequate. But he has pretty good physical defense, if that helps. And if you've played the game, notice that because Lavitz taught Albert how to use a spear, their attacks are performed in a very similar manner. The only difference is that Lavitz's attacks are . . . conservative . . . and Albert's are slightly more wild. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Rivuur Element: Wind Color: Green Attack: Twister Gale Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Aero Fury Birthplace: Unknown Name: Shana Age: 18 Sex: Female Height: 5'6" Weight: 130 lbs. Race: Human, perhaps, but let's say unknown instead Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Element: Light Relations: None Rank: Citizen / Dragoon Weapon: Bow and arrow Armor: White-Silver Dragoon Dragon: Ciarne History: Shana has been Dart's best friend since they were children. When Dart leaves on his journey to seek out the Black Monster, she begins to learn things so she can tag along next time. When he embarks on his journey from Hellena, she insists on following him everywhere and gets mad when he treats her like the defenseless child he remembers her to be. My Take: Shana is a minor annoyance to me; her magical defense is bad and her physical defense is worse. Really, I've only ever put her in my party to level her Dragoon Spirit up. Equipment that brings her physical defense up well is rare . . . unless someone can enlighten me. On the good side, she doesn't use Additions. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Ciarne Element: Light Color: White-Silver Attack: Light Seeker Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Healer's Touch Birthplace: Indels Castle, Bale, Serdio Name: Albert Age: 26 Sex: Male Height: 6'0" Weight: 180 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Brown (or Blue, I can't tell from the pictures) Hair: Blond (or Brown, depending on whether you adhere to the game [me] or the booklet) Element: Wind Relations: Doel (uncle) Rank: King / Dragoon Weapon: Javelin Armor: Jade Dragoon (replaces Lavitz) Dragon: Rivuur History: Serdio has been split ever since Albert was six years old. His uncle, Doel, killed his father, Carlo, over the way Serdio was being ruled. Doel was either driven out or ran away (I don't think they say which) to the far southern tip of Serdio, where he formed the Empire of Sandora. Meanwhile, Albert became King of the nothern half of Serdio, which was called Basil. My Take: Albert is a wonderful addition to your party. His attacks are almost always at least half again of everyone else's. His only downfall is that he has bad magical defense, second only to Kongol, I think. Luckily, you can buy equipment that'll put him right up there at the top. All around, Albert is a good person to have in your boss-battling party. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Rivuur Element: Wind Color: Green Attack: Twister Gale Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Aero Fury Birthplace: Rouge Name: Haschel Age: 60 Sex: Male Height: 5'11" Weight: 185 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Can't tell, never seen 'em open before ^_^ Hair: Black Element: Thunder Relations: None fully reenforced by the game, just implied . . . play it and you'll know what I mean Rank: Martial Arts Master / Dragoon Weapon: Claws Armor: Violet Dragoon Dragon: Hevillion History: For somewhere around twenty years, Haschel has been searching for his daughter, who ran away from Rouge at that time. When he meets up with Dart in Lohan, he decides to tag along on the other's journey. With lightning reflexes and the speed and stamina of someone Dart's age (and the get-in-trouble-and-have-fun-doing-it attitude of a nine-year-old), Haschel makes a wicked opponent. My Take: Haschel has great magical and physical defense. He, Albert, and Dart make up my boss party and they kick butt! Anyway, Haschel is good whenever you want to use him and needs little in the way of booster stuffs--just the regular fresh armors and weapons will do. Unfortunately, a few of his Additions aren't so great . . . but you don't have to use those! ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Hevillion Element: Thunder Color: Violet Attack: Shock Tempest Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Thunder Reap Birthplace: Wingly Forest Name: Meru Age: 16 Sex: Female Height: 5'3" Weight: 120 lbs. Race: Wingly Eyes: Amber Hair: Platinum Element: Water Relations: Mother, Father, Guaraha (whatever relation it might be) Rank: Citizen / Dragoon Weapon: Hammer Armor: Sea-Blue Dragoon Dragon: Grindu History: Meru left her home years ago and became an apparently popular dancer in Donau. She does not observe the traditional rules of her home and is, consequently, banished from there when she set foot in the outside world. Seeing life and everything in it as one big game, Meru's strong will often gets her in trouble. My Take: More mature than she often gets credit for, Meru believes in what she feels is right and wrong. Her attacks get stronger and stronger as you use them and eventually do major damage (her final Addition at level 5, though it's complicated, does over 600% damage). Her magical defense is okay, but low HP proves a hindrance. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Grindu Element: Water Color: Blue Attack: Wave Eater Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Hurricane Force Birthplace: Home of Gigantos Name: Kongol Age: Unknown Sex: Male Height: Tall Weight: Heavy Race: Giganto Eyes: Can't tell, probably brown Hair: Black Element: Earth Relations: None Rank: Guardian / Dragoon Weapon: Ax Armor: Gold Dragoon Dragon: Vunloc History: When humans destroyed his home, Kongol was rescued by Doel, who promised to unite all races. Kongol, grateful for his life and liking the Emperor's idea, decided to help Doel achieve that goal and became part of his army. Though large and powerful, Kongol is really much quieter than one might expect and prefers peace over war. My Take: Kongol is great for physical battles; his physical defense is superb. But don't ever put him in a magical battle; I'd bet a lot that he'd be the first to go. Kongol has excellent and powerful attacks, but pick your battles wisely. ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Vunloc Element: Earth Color: Gold Attack: Quicksand Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Quake Birthplace: Somewhere in Mille Seseau, I think Name: Miranda Age: Twenty-something Sex: Female Height: 5'6" Weight: 145 lbs. Race: Human Eyes: Blue Hair: Blond Element: Light Relations: None she wants to talk about Rank: First Sacred Sister / Dragoon Weapon: Bow and arrow Armor: White-Silver Dragoon (takes Shana's place) Dragon: Ciarne History: Like Rose, she doesn't like to talk about herself. But from what I gather, her mother abused her a lot and then abandoned her. Queen Theresa took her in and treated her like a daughter and in return, Miranda has tried hard to take care of things so the queen doesn't have to worry about them. A hard, sometimes almost soulless person, Miranda doesn't take failure well. My Take: I hate her! I can't do anything with her! The armors don't give enough physical defense! I have tried nearly everything and still get nowhere! I mean, at the beginning of the fourth disc as of the level I have her now and equipped with a Dragon Helm, she has 69 pts of physical defense and 139 pts of magical defense. It drives me crazy! ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Ciarne Element: Light Color: White-Silver Attack: Light Seeker Specialty Attack (crystal armor version): Healer's Touch Big-Time Enemies that I Can Think of Off the Top of My Head from Start of Game: Disc 1- Disc 2- Disc 3- Disc 4- Serdian War Platinum Shadow Fate and Soul Moon and Fate Fruegel Mappy Virage (can't remember yet) Kongol Virage Grand Jewel Virage Gehrich Divine Dragon Phoenix Mappy (again) Windigo Feyrbrand Lenus Lloyd Greham Magician Bogy (I think that's all) Drake Ghost Commander Fruegel (again) Ghost Knights Rodriguez Regole Guftas Lenus (again) Kongol (again) Doel Sidequest Bosses that I Know of: Faust Belzac Kanzas Damia Syuveil <--Back Prologue--> |
