"I may not be strong, but I know how to use the power of magic."
The best spellcaster, she can learn 16 different spells from both white and black magic, but her equipment is very light.
She desires to be independent from the people around her as she states so herself.
- Attack: Her strength is the most limited, and her weapons (staves and knives) are light, too. She should attack primarily using magic.
- Magic: She has the best magic aptitude in the game, and a balanced set of spells. Her "MP-Catcher" spell is quite reliable, too. Near the end of the game, her attack spells become less effective than casting "Power" on herself.
- Defense: Again, her endurance is the meekest, and her armor (robes and headgear) is light, too.
- Speed: She's the fastest character in the game, and this sometimes compensates for her limited endurance.
- Action Girl: The only playable female character and she's just as deadly as the rest of them.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts off unwilling to work with others, wanting to prove her independence, however as she continues her journey she becomes more open to working with others and accepting her might need help.
- Fragile Speedster: The fastest character with the worst HP and defenses.
- Glass Cannon: Very low HP and endurance but her magic is the best in the game and her black magic spells will quickly destroy her enemies for most of the game.
- Kill It with Ice: Uses her ice spells to fight her enemies.
- Red Mage: She learns a balanced mix of attack, healing and support spells.
"My strength is the magic power of healing."
The white mage, he can learn 16 spells (15 white and 1 black), but has limited equipment. Late in the game he learns the Elixir spell, which completely heals Health and Magic Points, including its own casting cost!
Makes it his mission to get all the Runes and drive away the evil forces.
- Attack: His strength is just a bit better than Esuna's, and he uses the same weapons. He's better at fighting by supporting his companion.
- Magic: As a cleric, his magic focuses on healing, support and disabling. Indeed, his "Power" and "Agility" spells can turn any companion into a powerhouse. Near the end of the game, his "Elixir" spell makes the final quest very easy.
- Defense: Again, his endurance is just a bit better than Esuna's, and he uses the same light robes and headgear.
- Speed: He's fast indeed.
"I don't work with anyone."
The black mage, he can learn 16 spells (14 black and 2 white), and also has a fair choice of weapons, but limited armor options.
Desires the Runes to become stronger than his King Remele.
- Attack: His strength is average; he can equip swords, but not the strongest ones (those are exclusive to Kamil).
- Magic: This attribute is somewhat average, too, but he has plenty of Magic Points. He can repeatedly cast powerful attack spells and several disabling spells; "Defense 2" compensates for the lack of "Power". If he runs out of MP, his sword will be sufficient anyway.
- Defense: His endurance is below average, furthermore his armor is the most limited: he can wear the same light robes and headgears as Valsu and Esuna, but not the best ones.
- Speed: His speed is about average.
"I'm a warrior and the best suited for the mission."
The average guy, with good choice of equipment, and also 12 spells from both white and black magic.
Sets out for the Runes to get respect for their abilities.
- Attack: Average strength, he can equip swords.
- Magic: Average Magic and MP, he can cast both healing and offensive spells.
- Defense: Average endurance and HP, but he can wear the same good armor as Olvan.
- Speed: Average.
- Jack of All Stats: His stats are balanced making him equally competent in melee combat and magic.
"I'm the strongest of us all, but I'm a bit slow due to my age."
A good fighter who can also learn 10 spells, mostly white.
Wants to revert to a younger age with the power of the Runes.
- Attack: He has good strength and he can equip axes, which are the best weapons in the game.
- Magic: Average attribute, limited MP and spells focused on healing and defense. After all, he can easily attack using his axe.
- Defense: A real tank, he has good endurance plus he can equip the best armor in the game.
- Speed: Below average, which is somewhat of a hindrance for his attack.
- Kill It with Fire: His offensive spells are all fire based.
"My body will transform when I need a weapon. I don't need a weapon for this mission."
A fighter with high endurance, i.e., top defense and HP growth, he also has a few black spells, but his magic power and speed are limited.(Tetsujin means "Iron Man" in Japanese.)
Seeks the origins of the Tetsujin as he also finds the Runes.
- Attack: Very strong indeed, even if his choice of weapons is extremely limited.
- Magic: Very limited in both strength and selection. Note that his "Laser 3" spell has an unusually high hit rate, useful against fast enemies.
- Defense: Very strong, and again his selection of armor is very limited.
- Speed: Unfortunately, he's the slowest character in the game.
- Shock and Awe: All of his spells are of the Thunder elemental type.
"I don't need any weapons or armor since I have great physical strength."
A pure fighter with top speed and the worst magic; all his other attributes are otherwise high, but spells are few in selection. He cannot use any equipment, except for one sword found in Chapter 9.
Curious as to what power the Runes may hold.
- Attack: At least as strong as Lux and not hindered by a low speed. He fights barehanded, but later on he can use a monster as a weapon.
- Magic: Useless: his offensive spells either miss or deal a minimal amount of damage, and he has no healing spells.
- Defense: Although he is naked, his endurance is far above the average.
- Speed: Above average.
- All the Other Reindeer: Because of his scary appearance most people were frightened of him and avoided him. Even some NPCs will refuse to speak with him.
- Kill It with Fire: Lights himself on fire to attack enemies. Also learns all the fire based magic spells but you'll have little reason to use them with his terrible magic stats.
- Inept Mage: He learns a hand-full of spells (mostly the fire based ones) but his poor magic and low mp means they'll almost never be worth the effort of actually using.
- Lightning Bruiser: Very fast and hits very hard.
