Ryoko (me!) - The healer. Ryoko doesn't really try to push the party in any particular direction. She's just happy to have friends who are brave and go on adventures! She does keep an eye out for 'treasure' at all times, though.Â
Setzer Gabbiani (FFVI) - Aside from his constant role of bringing sexy back, Setzer is the group's utility/damage dealer. He is the de facto leader of the group, who act as crew aboard his airship, the Blackjack. His primary motivator is searching for wealth and competition, which is what drew Ryoko to him in the first place. For him, she is an easy source of an ego boost, as he can always dazzle her with even the simplest of card tricks.Â
Gilder (Skies of Arcadia) - The physical damage dealer. Surviving the wreckage of the Claudia, Gilder found himself without an airship and in dire need of money. As an experienced air pirate, he was soon approached by Setzer to pilot the Blackjack. With no better prospects in sight, Gilder jumped at the opportunity. Ever the lecher, Gilder made no reservations in expressing his interest toward Ryoko, despite her young age. But then, for Gilder, propositioning a young lady was like saying hello.Â
Nina of Windia (Breath of Fire II) - The black-winged angel and exiled princess of Windia, Nina acts as the group's mage and secondary healer. With the potential to flatten cities, but too timid to wield such power, Nina's true strength only comes out in the most dire of circumstances. However, her unbreakable will allows her to keep flinging spells long after the rest of the part has hit the floor. She convinced Setzer to bring her on the journey so that she might search new lands for a way to break the curse on her sister. She's constantly fending off advances from Gilder, of course. She loves Ryoko's company, as it reminds her of the innocence that she lost long ago.Â
Rinpu (Breath of Fire II) - The tank. Rinpu tagged along with Nina for the adventure because, hey, how often do you get to ride an airship? She was pretty fond of Ryoko right off the bat, with the two being surprisingly similar (and now I'm wondering if I subconsciously based Ryoko on Rinpu...) Of course, like the other girls, Rinpu found herself frequently the subject of Gilder's attention. However, she was a bit quicker to turn to violence than the other two... But who can blame the guy when she never wears pants?Â
I wanted to get Sazh (ff13) in here, but he has the same combat style as Gilder so I had to exclude him for the sake of party composition. I also spent a lot of time trying to put someone from Baiten Kaitos in here, but I realized that while I absolutely love the game, I didn't really care for any of the playable characters... I did originally have Carth Onasi from KOTOR, but he seemed out of place. Anyway, that's my list.
