[[folder:Protagonists]]

A mercenary for hire working for the empire. L'Arc is a stubborn swordsman who does what he wants to do. And once he is revealed to be a Child of Eesa, L'Arc has a hard time dealing with everything that's being forced on his shoulders. To make matters worse, [[spoiler:his ChildhoodFriends become his sworn enemies, his ClingyJealousGirl does a NASTY FaceHeelTurn, and he has almost no idea what to do but to look for a solution to solve everything.]] L'Arc's encounter with Ryfia is the first event that changes everything he has stood for.

A very naive young girl whom L'Arc finds wandering in the forest. Ryfia pretty much behaves like a young child as she has no idea what her words mean to others like saying she likes L'Arc a lot. [[spoiler:This is one of the reasons Adele hates her guts so much]]. She happens to be a Diva meant to direct the Child of Eesa to offer Imaginal's Law to Eesa to help the world and its people. [[spoiler:She doesn't really know the full extent of Imaginal's Law, though.]]

* TheChick

* {{Troperiffic}}

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

* KidAppealCharacter

A very energetic girl who is a very skilled fighter despite her age. Cecille thinks of herself as a [[HeroicWannabe Hero of Justice]], and she idolizes anyone in the world recognized as a master. [[spoiler: She is Dynos' older twin sister. However, Dynos grew older than Cecille because he woke up from his magic-induced sleep earlier than she did, thus he aged first]].

* [[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]]: Again, she's the strong(wo)man of the team.

* CallingYourAttacks: [[MegatonPunch CECILLE PUNCH!]]
** "Garcia Kick!"

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

A mysterious man that helps the party to escape death. Serge is a man who only follows those who hire him to do anything regardless what the job might be. [[spoiler:He turns out to be Leon but no longer goes by that alias]]. He has an ill sister that he loves with all his heart.

* TheLancer

Rastan is a skilled swordsman who wanders the land [[spoiler:seeking revenge for the death of his family]]. For some reason, he travels with L'Arc. [[spoiler:That reason being his atonement for having killed L'Arc's father due to Ignacy's blackmailing him. Much later, L'Arc finally brings himself to pardon Rastan, welcoming him as a loyal friend]].

A woman with lots of intel about many things. [[spoiler:She was once a general for the Republic until she dropped out, but she still supports her nation and her best friend who happens to be the governor]].

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

[[folder:Anti-Villains]]

The very good and benevolent second prince of the Empire and L'Arc's best friend. Alf worries too much about what goes with the Empire whenever it looks like it's trying to TakeOverTheWorld. [[spoiler:As it turns out, he's a Child of Eesa like L'Arc. Once the Empire launches a surprise attack on Antrax, Alf defects from the group to fulfill his role by siding with Adele, considering L'Arc as his sworn enemy. His benevolence is thrown out the window just for the sake of proving Real that humanity can live without Ray for a year, though it greatly twists his old self]].

Adele is one of L'Arc's childhood friends. She harbors shy but strong feelings for L'Arc, [[spoiler:and everything goes down the toilet for her when Ryfia gets into the picture. She turns out to be the next Real's Diva, her mother having been killed moments before she got promoted.]]

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: [[spoiler:Sure, it was for revenge on Weiss for what happened at Antrax, but if she never had Dynos stir up confusion by having Undead Meridian Soldiers attacking Batrachites, the treaty would have gotten off without a hitch and the Meridian citizens wouldn't have the need to raise [[LaResistance a rebellion]].]]

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

A retired general in the Empire who is very fond of L'Arc and Alf. He is in charge of Jada. [[spoiler:He eventually joins Alf in his quest to propose Real's Law to Eesa, but he feels that only L'Arc can make Alf change the error of his ways. That doesn't mean he'll disobey Alf for the better, though.]]

AKA Deathchanter, Dynos roams the world looking for Real's Diva. [[spoiler:He eventually finds the next Real's Diva (Adele) and decides to protect her. He's also Cecille's (age-wise) younger brother who got out of his sleep, resuming his aging earlier as a side-effect]].

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

[[folder:Antagonists]]

The prince who rules over the Empire with an iron fist, brother to fellow prince Alf [[spoiler:and L'Arc's half-brother]]. He is totally obssessed with world domination.

* [[FantasticRacism Fantastic Discrimination]]: Against religious types in general.

Luze's bodyguard. Though she mostly goes along with Luze's wishes, she appears to take a more proactive desire to see the land kept clean. [[spoiler:She is also Allul, the Rogress of Ice. For tropes pertaining to that form, see Allul under the Rogress section.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, [[spoiler:his role in the destruction of Antrax]]. While awful, he wasn't even the one who invaded, and as Ryfia points out, he wasn't even the only one involved! But he's the only one who's remembered for it, to the point of his name becoming notorious around the world, and it takes a ''long'' time before people start forgiving him for it (namely, Shelly: the moment she's warmed up to him can be marked by her no longer calling him Lagoon the Cursed).
