Background Story
17-year-old Lloyd is a young man who has lost his mother and father at an early age and was raised by a dwarf who adopted him. Together with his childhood friends, Colette and Genis, he sets out on a journey to their world of Sylvarant, which is on the verge of destruction, and restores it to the lush and peaceful world it was centuries ago. Colette is a member of the "Mana Lineage", and holds the key to regenerating the world. Believing that their world will be saved once Colette transforms into an angel, Lloyd and the others surmount countless obstacles. However, Lloyd begins to have concerns about this process as the true nature of their world slowly becomes clear. The regeneration of the world of Sylvarant actually equates to the decline of another world, Tethe'alla, as their fates are intrinsically linked—for one to flourish, the other must be sacrificed. But can this somehow be avoided...? As Colette gradually loses her humanity and begins to transform into an angel, these sorts of questions become more and more urgent...
Lloyd Irving
Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 173cm (5'8") Weight: 58kg (128lbs) Class: Swordsman
Found abandoned in a forest while he was an infant, Lloyd has been raised by his adoptive father, a dwarf. Thanks to this he is extremely handy, and possesses craftsmanship ability equal to that of most dwarves. With a tendency to show off, he tries to be as cool as possible, but he’s actually a kind spirit who puts his heart into what he does. He is respected by all for his agile mind and skill at making quick decisions, but his grades in school leave much to be desired. For that reason, he is being tutored by his close childhood friends, Colette and Genis. The two of them are Lloyd’s dearest friends. Once he realizes the impossible contradiction inherent in accepting a peace for which others have to be sacrificed, he arms himself with his youthful ideals and single-mindedness, and sets out to change the world.
Colette Brunel
Age: 16 Gender: Female Height: 158cm (5'2") Weight: 44kg (97lbs) Class: Chosen One (Angel)
Lloyd's childhood friend. Though she is dignified and graceful during her ceremonies as the Chosen, she is normally a clumsy, absent-minded and easygoing girl. But she has a strong inner will, and is definitely no sheltered little girl. Rather, in emergencies she acts boldly, and bravely works to help her friends. A member of the Mana Lineage, descendants of which are said to be the ones to save the world as it heads towards destruction, Colette accepts her divine inheritance and sets out on a journey to regenerate the world. She carries the Cruxis Crystal, proof that she is a member of the Mana Lineage.
Genis Sage
Age: 12 Gender: Male Height: 141cm (4'8") Weight: 29kg (64lbs) Class: Mage
Lloyd's childhood friend. The best at his studies in the entire village, Genis is also an excellent mage. Perhaps because he is so clever, he is also quick to determine what he's capable of and what he's not, and is quick to give up when something seems beyond him. For such a young boy, he is like an adult in many ways, and deftly balances both childlike and grown-up personality traits. Although everyone else concerns themselves too much with treating him either as an adult or as a child, Lloyd recognizes Genis for his personality, which makes Genis extremely fond of Lloyd as a person.
Raine Sage
Age: 23 Gender: Female Height: 166cm (5'5") Weight: 49kg (108lbs) Class: Teacher
Lloyd and Colette's teacher and Genis’s older sister. She goes along with the others on the journey of world regeneration, and her considerable knowledgeable about archaeology and magitechnology are a boon for her companions. She is a cool, composed lady, but prefers comfortable clothing and tends to wear clothes that are more masculine. She is well-liked among fellow villagers and her students for her beauty and her fresh personality. Raine is normally cool and collected, but the sight of any sort of ruins can cause her personality to undergo an abrupt metamorphosis, changing her demeanor and way of speaking entirely.
Kratos Aurion
Age: 28 Gender: Male Height: 186cm (6'1") Weight: 78kg (172lbs) Class: Magic Swordsman
A mysterious swordsman who identifies himself as a mercenary. His skill with a sword is topnotch, and he joins the journey of world regeneration to act as a bodyguard for Colette. He has sharp, penetrating eyes, perhaps because of the countless battles he has had to face in his lifetime.
Sheena Fujibayashi
Age: 19 Gender: Female Height: 164cm (5'5") Weight: 48kg (106lbs) Class: Summoner
An assassin sworn to kill Colette. However, Sheena is quite clumsy for an assassin, and fails at her task time and time again. Her personality is direct and upright in all things, and she is very frank about her own emotions. It seems that she has a very complex reason for wanting to kill Colette. She is a summoner, and uses cards to fight.
Zelos Wilder
Age: 22 Gender: Male Height: 179cm (5'10") Weight: 68kg (150lbs) Class: Magic Swordsman

Presea Combatir
Age: 28 Gender: Female Height: 138cm (4'6") Weight: 24kg (53lbs) Class: Axe Warrior
When Presea wanted to do wood chopping for her sick father, she started wearing an Exsphere, unaware of its negative effects on her body. She was originally a bright-eyed, carefree girl, but the Exsphere has caused her to lose her humanity and become cold and withdrawn.
