-INTRODUCTION
Well, second FAQ so far. This one is to list all of the characters
I've encountered in Valkyrie Profile. It'll list anything relevant I
could think of about 'em...if you have any suggestions on something to
add, just tell me about it.



-CHARACTERS
Before I just start listing them, I'm just going to say that this FAQ
probably won't be all that printer friendly. There's a lot of
information to be said about these people. I'm on Hard difficulty, so
not everyone will get all of these people. Should you have a character
I don't, feel free to submit them my way. You'll get your name in my
FAQ (ooohhh! aaahhhh!), and I'll get to make the FAQ itself better.
Also, when I mention the Levels on the Special Meter...level 1 is the
first time you use your special (when you hit 100). Level 2 is when you
hit 100 again, and get to use a second special. This follows for level
3 and 4.
Lastly, on the attacks: Round Kick 2 hits + 6e . What that means
is that the attack hits twice, and will add precisely 6 energy to your
hit meter so that you may use your specials. CT is known as Charge
Time, and it's how long you must wait before that character can use
another special or spell.
If I have the attacks listed under a mage, it's their initial spell
list. It doesn't mean that's all they can learn, just what they start
with...



Name - Aelia (female)
Class - Spearman/Adventurer
Race & Age - Dragonian 25
Birthplace - Gerabellum
Element - Fire
Chapter - 5 I think.
Attacks - Round Kick 2 hits + 6e
Sonic Edge 1 hit + 15e
Spinning Edge 3 hits + 24e
*Dreaded Dragon 1 hit + 45e CT+3
Special - She has Dreaded Dragon as her special. It's actually
pretty potent for most Special Attacks, so I suggest you use it. Just
remember that it doesn't add a great amount of Energy, so it can't be
used with too little energy left and still get to the next Special
Attack.


Name - Arngrim (male)
Class - Heavy Knight/Merc
Race & Age - Human 26
Birthplace - Artolia
Element - Fire
Chapter - 1
Attacks - Spinning Back Knuckle 1 hit + 15e
High Wind 1 hit + 30e
Wrenching Swing 1 hit + 25e
*Final Blast 8 hits + 80e CT+6 (ouch...)
Special - He has Final Blast. This one is actually one of my
favorites, in that it adds TONS of energy, and does TONS of damage. For
these reasons, I use Arngrim for most of the game. Great attack.


Name - Badrach (male)
Class - Archer/Thief
Race & Age - Human 40
Birthplace - Villnore
Element - Darkness
Chapter - 6 or 7, not sure.
Attacks - Flare Shot 1 hit + 15e
Fifth Way 5 hits + 5e
Lunatic Shot 7 hits + 7e
*Sphere Strike 1 hit + 30e CT+2
Special - Weak weak weak. Sphere Strike is far too weak. It's
kind of a pity, since his normal attacks are actually pretty good. Ah
well, not worth the trouble regardless.


Name - Belenus (male)
Class - Swordsman/Head Guard
Race & Age - Human 37
Birthplace - Gerabellum
Element - Holy
Chapter - 1
Attacks - First Slash 1 hit + 15e
Rising Slash 2 hits + 24e
Piercing Crusade 2 hits + 20e
*Extreme Void 2 hits + 30e CT+3
Special - Well, Extreme Void is alright. It only looks like it
would only hit once, but it does hit when they hit the ground. All in
all, not that great though...I tend to send him up for the first chapter
anyway though.


Name - Brahms (male)
Class - Leader of the Undead
Race & Age - Vampire ?
Birthplace - ?
Element - Darkness
Chapter - Heh...8 on Hard.
Attacks - Bloody Knuckle 1 hit + 30e
Deadly Raid 2 hits + 30e
Immortal Blow 3 hits + 30e
*Bloody Curse 17 hits + 42e CT+2
Special - Well, Brahms has the highest hitting Special in the
game. Jun comes in second with 15 hits. Regardless, Bloody Curse is
pretty powerful, but it doesn't really catch up with the likes of Ether
Strike from Freya. So pretty good, but not the best.


Name - Freya (female)
Class - Giver of Life
Race & Age - Aesir 26
Birthplace - Valhalla
Element - Fire
Chapter - Once again, 8 on Hard.
Attacks - Critical Flare 6 hits + 24e
Aerial Burst 3 hits + 21e
Thunder Sword 5 hits + 50e (yikes...)
*Ether Strike 1 hit + 10e CT+5
Special - Well, Ether Strike is the strongest Special I've run
across in the game. At Level 4, it does upwards of 250,000 damage for
me. And that's against Iselia Queen. So, I consider this one the best,
except for the fact that it only adds a measly 10 to your energy. Thus,
always use it as your last Special.


Name - Gandar (male)
Class - Wizard/Officer
Race & Age - Human 67 (old, eh?)
Birthplace - Villnore
Element - ?
Chapter - 8
Attacks - Fire Lance ~ Prismatic Missile ~ Shield Critical
Shadow Servant ~ Poison Blow ~ Sap Guard
Special - Dependent on the spell cast and your equipped weapon.


Name - Grey (male)
Class - Heavy Knight/Adventurer
Race & Age - Human ?
Birthplace - ?
Element - Poison
Chapter - 5 I think.
Attacks - Razor Edge 1 hit + 15e
Mortal Razor 1 hit + 25e
Energy Cannon 3 hits + 15e
*Icicle Disaster 8 hits + 58e CT+2
Special - Well...to be quite honest, Icicle Disaster sucks. If
all eight hits would do the same damage as the initial hit it would be
pretty good, but it doesn't. The 6 icicles only do about 1/10 of the
damage of the rest of the attack. Bah, ah well...


Name - Janus (male)
Class - Archer
Race & Age - Human 40
Birthplace - Crell Monferaigne
Element - Poison
Chapter - Hmmm...I'm thinking 2.
Attacks - Diseased Needle 2 hits + 2e (also adds poison effect)
Tri Stinger 3 hits + 3e
Restrain Flame 1 hit + 50e (big shot here...)
*Guilty Break 9 hits + 72e CT+2
Special - Hmmm...Guilty Break is actually pretty good. All shots
will hit, and it does pretty good damage. Plus, it adds a lot of energy
as well. All in all, I find Janus to be the best of the archer
characters...


Name - Jayle a.k.a. Leticia (female)
Class - Swordsman/Knight
Race & Age - Human 20
Birthplace - Gerabellum
Element - Poison
Chapter - Eek...I'm thinking 6 or 7.
Attacks - Gleam Charge 1 hit + 25e
Round Dance 1 hit + 15e
Hind Edge 1 hit + 10e
*Eternal Raid 7 hits + 56e CT+2
Special - Eternal Raid is alright...at least it hits and it's
fast. Not sure what else to say about it...hmmm...well, it does give
alright Energy, and it doesn't add too much CT. ::shrugs::


Name - Jelanda (female)
Class - Sorceress/Princess
Race & Age - Human 14
Birthplace - Artolia
Element - Ice
Chapter - 1
Attacks - Miscellaneous spells...
Special - Dependent on the spell cast, as well as the type of
weapon she is equipped with.


Name - Jun (male)
Class - Samurai
Race & Age - Human 21
Birthplace - Yamato
Element - Lightning
Chapter - 2 I believe.
Attacks - Senko-Zan 2 hits + 10e
Koei-Zan 1 hit + 5e
So-Enbu 2 hits + 24e
*Senko-Jin 15 hits + 30e CT+2
Special - Senko-Jin is the second highest hitting special in the
game. Unfortunately, it doesn't give very good energy, nor does it do
all that great damage. On top of that, Jun doesn't exactly have the
strongest normal attacks...so all in all, he's not that great.


Name - Kashell (male)
Class - Heavy Knight/Adventurer
Race & Age - Human 24
Birthplace - Gerabellum
Element - Fire
Chapter - Ummm...3?
Attacks - Low Swing 1 hit + 10e
Beast Tackle 2 hits + 30e
Air Pressure 1 hit + 15e
*Flashing Blade 3 hits + 69e CT+5
Special - Well, Flashing Blade is essentially a clone of Final
Blast. Except smaller. Although it does pretty good damage for the few
hits it does, it's not really worth it with the high CT cost. But I
will use him every once in the odd while.


Name - Lawfer (male)
Class - Spearman/Knight
Race & Age - Human ??
Birthplace - Artolia
Element - Lightning
Chapter - 2 I believe.
Attacks - Smash Axe 1 hit + 24e
Prisoner Fang 1 hit + 30e
Triple Thrust 3 hits + 30e
*Justice Stream 10 hits + 25e CT+2
Special - As you can see above, Justice Stream certainly isn't the
best you can find. Doesn't give very good energy, and the damage is
only mediocre. A pity most lancer weapons are somewhat weak too. Ah
well, at least his art looks pretty cool.


Name - Lenneth Valkyrie (female)
Class - Chooser of the Slain
Race & Age - Aesir 23
Birthplace - Valhalla
Element - Holy, of course
Chapter - Perhaps...1?
Attacks - Bolt Slash 1 hit + 25e
Moment Slide 1 hit + 15e
Vertical Raid 2 hits + 24e
*Nibelung Valesti 9 hits + 60e CT+4
Special - Nibelung Valesti is a somewhat odd Special in that it
changes depending on Lenneth's weapon. It will also change depending on
the strength of the weapon, and how many attacks it has. So be careful,
as it's not entirely set in stone.


Name - Lezard Valeth (male)
Class - Sorcerer/Necromancer
Race & Age - Human 24
Birthplace - Flenceburg
Element - Darkness
Chapter - 8 on Hard.
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used. Of
course, Lezard's the best caster you're ever going to find, so you'll
just want to use something that lets you use Great Magic, and set his
spells to either Shadow Servant or Mystic Cross. They turn into Meteor
Shower and Celestial Star, respectively.


Name - Llewelyn (male)
Class - Archer/Soldier
Race & Age - Human 18
Birthplace - Crell Monferaigne
Element - Fire
Chapter - 1
Attacks - First Shot 1 hit + 5e
Twin Shot 2 hits + 10e
Aiming Wisp 2 hits + 10e
*Layer Storm 7 hits + 35e CT+2 (Note that not all of
the arrows will hit...thus this attack is best used against big enemies
such as golems and the like.)
Special - Layer Storm's actually pretty good against the bigger
enemies, and does alright against smaller ones. Plus, I just kind of
like Llewelyn since he reminds me of myself a bit...


Name - Lorenta (female)
Class - Sorceress/Teacher
Race & Age - Human 36 (and they call her old...?)
Birthplace - Flenceburg
Element - Ice
Chapter - 4
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used.


Name - Lucian (male)
Class - Swordsman
Race & Age - Human 19
Birthplace - Villnore
Element - Lightning
Chapter - 5 I think.
Attacks - Air Slash 1 hit + 25e
Slanting Blow 1 hit + 15e
Shining Bolt 12 hits + 36e
*Round Rip Blade 5 hits + 40e CT+3
Special - Round Rip Blade is an alright attack that charges
electricity into the blade and he teleports around whilst smacking them.
Kind of reminds me of DBZ...On another note, his Shining Bolt attack is
actually rather good for a normal attack. Such a pity he has such low
health.


Name - Lyseria (female)
Class - Sorceress/Seeress
Race & Age - Human ?
Birthplace - ?
Element - Holy
Chapter - 7 or 8...not entirely sure which.
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used. On
another note, she's the second best caster you'll find besides Lezard
Valeth. So when you get her, use her. Just throw a Unicorn's Horn her
way and let her rip into stuff.


Name - Mystina (female)
Class - Sorceress/Researcher
Race & Age - Human 23
Birthplace - Flenceburg
Element - Darkness
Chapter - 4 I believe.
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used. As
an aside, she can't be transferred, so don't go training her for it.
Beyond that, I don't have much to say about her...I always used Yumei
rather than her. That's 'cause Yumei has better defense.


Name - Nanami (female)
Class - Sorceress/Maiden
Race & Age - Human 17
Birthplace - Yamato
Element - Holy
Chapter - I'd hazard 3.
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used. I
never used her much except to see how she was...and I still liked Yumei
better. Bah...


Name - Shiho (female)
Class - Sorceress/Song Maiden
Race & Age - Human 21
Birthplace - Yamato
Element - Holy
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used. I
actually never used her at all...I was going to, then when I looked at
her spell list I found she didn't have ANY offensive spells. I didn't
feel like burning a spell on her, so I've never used her. Someone wanna
send an evaluation?


Name - Suo (male)
Class - Samurai
Race & Age - Human 24
Birthplace - Yamato
Element - Lightning
Attacks - Shisen 1 hit + 25e
Hyo-Reppa 1 hit + 10e
Yasha-Uchi 2 hits + 16e
*Hyoso-Hojin 6 hits + 48e CT+3
Special - Hyoso-Hojin reminds me of Ogre Battle honestly. That's
because the Samurai in OB would do a similar attack if placed in the
back row. Basically he just shoots a bunch of crystals in a line. He's
an alright character...but there are better ones out there.


Name - Yumei (female)
Class - Sorceress
Race & Age - Mermaid 16
Birthplace - Yamato
Element - Ice
Attacks - Various spells.
Special - Dependent on equipped weapon and spell to be used.
Yumei is my favorite of the spell-casters before Lyseria and Lezard.
She has good defense, and alright defense. Which is more than most of
the spellcasters have. So here's my favorite! Plus, she turns into a
mermaid when she casts a spell...how cool is that?
