Introduction

Romancing Saga 2 has a very distinctive character system.

With the exception of a few special characters at the start and at the end of your adventure, your characters will change all the time (don't get too attached ; ), every time one of them dies (which can happen quite a lot, be it LP-death or party annihilation), every time there is a time skip, and they come from a pool of characters of various classes.

They belong to various classes, but within each class, even if there are some common traits, the characters are all different! It insures a great variety and distinctive flavors, but makes it quite difficult to keep track of the techs they are able to spark or not, mainly - especially as there are more than 250 available characters (256 over 32 classes + 5 special characters on SFC / 272 over 34 classes + 5 on Remaster).

Characters from each class can be recruited always at the same place(s). Once a class is unlocked (some are available from the start), individual characters circle endlessly through the list in order, after each death or each time skip.

Note that at any time you can only have one member of each class in your party (e.g. you cannot have two Female Crusaders in your party), and that once recruited it is impossible to make them leave until they die, until your party gets wiped out, or until a time jump occurs (so for any reason if you want to change a character, you must LP-kill them). Note that if your Emperor LP-dies, you must choose their successor among the remaining party members, and that the rest of the team remains unchanged. For details see the Generation Skip & Reincarnation section.

When you recruit a new character, their starting levels will depend on your MLVs (Master Levels) and on character-specific corrective values:
- the relevant MLVs will be adjusted (+ or -) according to the tables below,
- while the other Weapon LVs will be reset to 0
- and when you teach non-default Magic to a character, all Magic LVs start at MLV -7.


Notes on the following tables

The Gender (whatever people may say these days ; ) is an important stat, since some quests, branchings and dialogues are Gender-related, and since the enemy tech Fascination does not work on Females. Note that Gender is determined by the presence or absence of a Female flag (which means that if the flag is absent, the character is not necessarily a Male, it just means they are not Female).

Note also that there is a separate, gender-related flag (two, in fact) that mainly determine your Emperor's Reaction when you eavesdrop the Armed Merchants in Mobelm, i.e. whether you are Wild enough to deceive and take on the guard or not (Norm = normal: you cannot), and how (the M or F way).
The Wild Classes are: Mercenary, Hunter, Nomad, Armed Merchant, Saigo Clansman, Brawler, Vagabond, Iris.

Another quest-related flag: is your Emperor Strong enough to operate Hiraga's Windmaker or do physical labor?
The Strong Classes are: Light Infantry, Mercenary, Imperial Guard, Levante Guard, Desert Guard, Male Nomad, Male Crusader, Armed Merchant, Saigo Clansman, Brawler, Salamander, Coppelia, Last Emperor.

The Inheritance stat refers to the Imperial Succession Category:
- 00 for Mage: Court Mage M/F, Mage for Hire M/F, Crusader F, Strategist, (Diviner).
- 01 for Archer: Ranger M/F, Vagabond M, Hunter, Nomad M, Amazon.
- 02 for Warrior A: Light Infantry M/F, Salamander, Mole, Nomad F, Levante Guard, Iris, Nereid, Vagabond F, Diver.
- 03 for Warrior B: Mercenary M/F, Saigo Clansman, Heavy Infantry, Crusader M, Imperial Guard M/F, Desert Guard, Brawler, Armed Merchant, (Ninja).

The choices you get for your new Emperor depend on the Class and Category of your previous Emperor, and are determined randomly among Classes and Categories set like so:

Inheritance Category of your Previous Emperor:	00 Mage	01 Archer	02 Warrior A	03 Warrior B
1st Choice	Same Class as Previous Emperor
2nd Choice	00	01	02	03
3rd Choice	02	03	00	01
4th Choice	01 or 03	00 or 02	01 or 03	00 or 02

Through random inheritance, you can make a specific character the Emperor only once. If all the characters of one Class have become Emperors, the 1st Choice will be a random Class from the Category of the 4th Choice.

The starting equipment is linked to your Workshop research and to the Shops. A few set items excepted, Classes get certain sorts of items in the version available in the shops at the time of recruitment. Note that a few fixed starting items are either good or useful, like Brawler's Budo Gi, Diver's Trident, Amazon's Naginata, Levante Guard's Katana..
(NR) means Non-Removable.

The starting tech(s) are determined by category.
Your entitled characters get one per weapon category, the highest ranked tech in a list of 4, among those already available in the Dojo (the techs between square brackets are available from game start):

- Sword: [Knee Split] < Cross Cut < Whirlwind < Vacuum Cut.
- Greatsword: Sunder < SmaBOW < Watefold Blade < Flowing Slash.
- Axe: Tomahawk < Cut Timber < Echo Blade < Tree Cleaver.
- Mace: [Headblow] < Bonecrusher < Twinstrike < Fissure Strike.
- Spear: [Double Stab] < Aim < Charge < Sharp Thrust.
- Short Sword: [Feint] < [Sidewinder] < Snake Shot < Mega Thrust.
- Bow: [Id Break] < Haphazard Arrow < Rain of Arrows < Barrage Shot
- Martial: [Kick] < Sobat < Corkscrew < Quadrastrike.

The starting spells are attributed like so:
- Each character gets 2 spells per magic.
- The first spell is always the basic spell of the relevant magic (ie. Fireball, Life Water, Blades of Wind, Gilden Stregth, Light Ball, Wracking).
- The second spells are determined according to a few random sets of spells, as per in the table below.
The Magic order is the order in which they appear in your character's stat screen. The number of the spell is that of the spell list (e.g. Self-Immolation is spell #2 of Pyrology). Your characters can only get spells that have been unlocked previously.

Set of spells	Spell# for Magic 1	Spell# for Magic 2	Spell# for Magic 3
A	2	5	4
B	3	2	5
C	3	5	4
D	4	3	2
E	4	3	5
F	5	4	3

The starting techs and spells have no influence whatsoever, since they are taken from those already available to you and since you can just change them in the Dojo or Magic Research Center.
Remaster: If you have not built the Umbrology Research Facility, UM spells still get unlocked as your UM MLV goes up, and Diviners may randomly access one high-tiered spell. Just save your game before recruiting, recruit, check your spells, quit and reload if you do not get the one you want.

The characters' Spark Type is one of the most important pieces of information: it determines which Techs the characters is able to spark in battle. See the Sparking section for sparking conditions, types and details, particularly the Characters Type Tech Lists (you can also CTL+F the page with your character's name to see which techs they can spark).

STR DEX MAG LOG SPD STA: see the Stats section.
Note that the general relevant variable for offensive Spell Power is [MAG + 2x(MAG-LOG)]. See the Magic section for details.

Weapon/Magic LVs: corrective values for your characters' starting LVs (upon recruiting).
For the mentioned categories, add or subtract from the corresponding MLVs (Master/Global Levels). For the rest: Weapon LVs reset to zero / non-default (taught) magics: Magic LV = MLV -7.
Note that Weapon/Magic LVs for Special Characters are absolute values (unrelated to MLVs).

SW = Sword / Greatsword LV AX = Axe / Mace LV SP = Spear / Short Sword LV BOW = Bow LV MA = Martial Arts LV

PY = Pyrology (Fire) HY = Hydrology (Water) AE = Aerology (Wind) TE = Terrology (Earth) COS = Cosmology (Light) UM = Umbrology (Dark)

The rest are either Type 05 (Aries & Capricorn) who can spark all Mace techs, or Type 02 (Sagittarius) who can spark all Bow techs; which mean that in addition to their role as a support spellcaster, they can be great sparkers as well.
Court Mages have an extra defense item slot equipped with a non-removable Erudite Robe (body armor with moderate magic def (and immunity to Pressure attacks).

All are Type 15 (only some basic sparking abilities), except Sapphire (Type 03) who can spark all Short Sword techs.

Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Wild M | Strong | Inheritance: 03 | Formation: Dragon Stance

Starting tech: Martial.

Named after pro-wrestlers, most Brawlers are resistant (high STA), decently strong (good STR) but a bit on the slow side, and all are Martial Arts sparkers. Vader has top-10 STR & STA (23/25, as well as a great +4 MA bonus, but abysmal 10 SPD) and Dynamite an out-of-this-world amount of LP (28).
All of them can spark most Martial Arts techs (all Type 00, except Liger who is Type 01).

Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Norm M | Strong | Inheritance: 03 | Formation: Divine Wall
Starting equipment: Sword, Spear, Heavy Armor, Templar's Shield (NR).
Starting techs: Sword, Spear.

Named after Christian Saints, Male Crusaders are strong (all STR 20+) and rather resistant (STA 17∼20) but slow, all have one starting magic and one extra equipment slot with an unremovable heavy Shield: the definition of a reliable frontline magic knight tank and hitter. Benedict & Christoph excepted, their starting SW bonus does not coincide with their Sparking Type, but that does not mean you cannot use them for sparking Spear and/or Axe techs too. Later, Sword and/or Axe to allow Shield activation.
Half of them (Georg, Paul, Jacob, Orban) are Type 09 (can spark all Axe and Spear techs). Among the other half, Peter & Valentine are Type 13 (some Sword techs), Benedict is Type 10 (can spark most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs) and Christoph is Type 14 (can spark most Sword and Greatsword techs).

Gender: F | Race: Human | Reaction: Norm F | x | Inheritance: 00 | Formation: Divine Wall
Starting equipment: Mace, Heavy Armor, Templar's Shield (NR).
Starting tech: Mace.

Named after Christian Saints, Female Crusaders are very powerful but slow magic casters (Sophia being the best of them) with default Water and Light Magic. Like their male counterparts, they also have one extra slot with a Shield that can protect them when not casting, since half are also great Mace sparkers (if not users, but you can also cleverly equip them with techs dealing Status ailments or Debuffs for instance).
Half of them (Sophia, Barbara, Matilda & Maria) are Type 05 who can spark all Mace techs, while the other half (Agatha, Monica, Gertrude & Magdalena) are useless Type 15 who only have basic sparking abilities.

Gender: F | Race: Water Elemental | Reaction: Norm F | x | Inheritance: 02 | Formation: x

Starting tech: None.

Named after the Nereids of Greek mythology, Nereids are good (and very fast) Hydrologists. They also have a great aptitude for Short Swords & Bows (top-tier DEX, especially Nausithoe & Galatea) but unfortunately no adequate starting bonus.
All are Type 15 (only some basic sparking abilities), except Pherusa & Sao who are Type 05 (can spark all Mace techs).

Location: Avalon Castle.
Gender: F | Race: Human | Reaction: x | Strong | Inheritance: 03 | Formation: x
Starting equipment: Katana, Uniform, Dash Ring (NR).
Starting techs: Sword, Martial.

Named after plants, Ninjas are very fast and, depending on the character, have either higher STR or DEX. They are all great Martial sparkers with a Martial Arts starting bonus: all that DEX is a waste of stat points.. Stick, in order, with Fuyo, Nazuna, Tsubaki or Azami.
All are either Type 00 or Type 01 who can spark most Martial Arts techs.
Ninja have an extra equipment slot with a fixed Dash Ring which gives a high Status Def and a better field of vision when Dashing (iOS & Android excepted).

Named after Mongolia & N China rulers, Male Nomads are decent all-rounders with a better disposition towards Bow/Short Sword (higher DEX), while most are Axe sparkers.

Gender: F | Race: Human | Reaction: Wild F | x | Inheritance: 02 | Formation: Whirlwind
Starting equipment: Axe, Bow, Guard Shield, Light Armor.
Starting tech: Axe.

Named after female characters from 1001 Nights, Female Nomads are mostly Bow users and sparkers. They lose in terms of power to Hunters but are the faster bunch. Fatima is a good candidate for Umbrology (Dark 23). Alia has a top-tier Spell Pwr (MAG 20 & LOG 10) but no starting magic bonus..
They are Type 02 (can spark all Bow techs), except two: Azizah who is Type 05 (can spark all Mace techs) and Dunya who is Type 14 (can spark most Sword and Greatsword techs).

Location: Mu Tundra (Nazelle) or Mu Habitat (Frozen Sea).
Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Wild M | Strong | Inheritance: 03 | Formation: Mu Palisade
Starting equipment: Mace, Light Armor.

Named after characters from the Norse Sagas, all Saigo Clansmen are very resistant (high STA), decently strong (good STR) and most of them are great Mace sparkers (and decent users).
Most are Type 05 (can spark all Mace techs), except three: Palna is Type 00 and Egil & Snorri are Type 01, who can all three spark most Martial Arts techs.

Salamander
サラマンダー

Unlock: Destroy the Rock at the top of Mt Comroon.
Location: Zemio, leader's house.
Gender: F | Race: Fire Elemental | Reaction: Norm M | Strong | Inheritance: 02 | Formation: x
Starting equipment: Axe, Shield, Hot Scales (NR).
Starting tech: Axe.

You need to save them to be able to recruit them (and thus give up on Umbrology for your current playthrough).
Named after Indonesian volcanoes, Salamanders are great recruits: very strong, very resistant and good Pyrologists. They have a variety of sparkers, so pay attention to their Spark Type.
Galunggung, Abu & Papandayan are Type 00 (can spark most Martial Arts techs); Tambora & Merapi are Type 05 (can spark all Mace techs); Kelut & Agung are Type 06 (can spark all Axe techs); Soputan is Type 11 (focused on Greatsword & Sword).
Salamanders have a great default piece of equipment: Hot Scales, that gives excellent physical protection and renders immune vs. Heat attacks.
Salamanders have HP regen in Fire magic environment.

Strategist
軍師

Unlock: Build University: Throne Event: Empire of 5 Regions + 2mG.
Location: Avalon, University.
Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Norm M | x | Inheritance: 00 | Formation: Rising Phoenix
Starting equipment: Sorcerer Robe.
Starting techs: None.

Named after strategists from Sangokushi (The Annals of the Three Kingdoms), Strategists are fast and efficient mages, with starting bonuses in all 3 magic slots (Cosmology and combinations of other magics). Being Cosmologists, Strategists, story-wise, reject Dark Magic (Umbrology). Koumei/Kongming (MAG 25, LOG 10, SPD 25) is the most powerful of all mages.
Most are Type 15 (only some basic sparking abilities). Mengde is Type 02 (can spark all Bow techs); Boyan, Type 08 (can spark most Greatsword & Sword techs).

Vagabond (M)
シティシーフ（男） City Thief

Unlock: Help the Vagabonds, enter the Canal Fortress with Cat's help and clear it.
Location: Avalon, Thieves Guild.
Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Wild M | x | Inheritance: 01 | Formation: Free for All 2
Starting equipment: Sword, Short Sword, Hat, Light Armor.
Starting tech: Short Sword.

Named after birds, Male Vagabonds (Thieves, in fact) are fast characters who are, stat-wise, better-suited to Short Sword & Bow (higher DEX than STR) than Sword, contrarily to what their general default Sword bonus suggests. Note that Startling has a top-5 LOG (23).
Sparrow & Falcon are Type 02 (can spark all Bow techs), Crow & Swift are Type 03 (can spark all Short Sword techs), Starling & Thrush are Type 10 (can spark most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs), while Robin & Pigeon are Type 14 (can spark most Sword and Greatsword techs).

Vagabond (F)
シティシーフ（女） City Thief

Unlock: Help the Vagabonds, enter the Canal Fortress with Cat's help and clear it.
Location: Avalon, Thieves Guild.
Gender: F | Race: Human | Reaction: Wild F | x | Inheritance: O2 | Formation: Free for All 2
Starting equipment: Short Sword, Bow, Hat, Light Armor, Healing Sandals.
Starting tech: Short Sword.

Named after small animals, most Female Vagabonds are fast characters and decent Short Sword users (good DEX). Fox especially, with DEX 20 & SPD 19, will do well. Three of them also have a fitting Bow bonus, including Badger who is the only Bow sparker of the lot. They are also more versatile than their male counterparts, as half of them have a starting magic bonus. Note that Cat and Rabbit have top-5 LOG (24 & 23) coupled with great SPD.
Half of them (Beaver, Mouse, Weasel & Fox) are Type 03 (can spark all Short Sword techs). The other half: Rabbit & Ferret are Type 10 (can spark most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs), Badger Type 02 (can spark all Bow techs) and Cat Type 00 (can spark most Martial Arts techs).
They have a unique piece of equipment: Healing Sandals (LOL at the translation) with the built-in tech Heel Stomp (the damage of which only depends on the user's STA and current HP, the higher the better, but it is costly).

SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Leon (Emperor)
皇帝　レオン

Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Norm M | Strong | Formation: x
Starting equipment: Steel Sword, Fleuret, Steel Armor, Silver Ring.
Starting techs: Knee Split, Double Cut.

Leon is a strong tank character.
He has a special Spark Type 07 (very basic sparking ability).

Gerard (2nd Prince)
第2皇子　ジェラール

Gender: M | Race: Human | Reaction: Norm M | Formation: x
Starting equipment: Long Sword, Balm, Steel Armor, Doublet, Great Shield.

Your starting character! Gerard is fast and better suited to Short Sword or Bow (high DEX).
Gerard is a Type 15 with only basic sparking abilities.

Coppelia (Automaton)
人形　コッペリア

Unlock: Talk to Hiraga 18+ to recruit. If recruited, appears in the Inheritance list at the next generation skip only.
Location: Somon, Hiraga's house.
Gender: F | Race: Plant | Reaction: (Wild M) / Norm F | Strong | Inheritance: SPE | Formation: x
Starting equipment: Prima Tutu (NR).
Starting techs: Kick, Sobat, Counter, Daze, Ki Meditation, Ki Blast, Corkscrew, Paralysis.

Coppelia has excellent STR, DEX, SPD & STA. Coppelia-Recruit has default Martial Arts techs and she will probably be sub-par, Skill LV-wise, when you can recruit her (but as she only uses one weapon, she catches up all right).
Coppelia is a special recruit in auto-play (you cannot control her) and she acts similarly to your opponents (set of 8 possible actions, at random). She will never use spells, nor special weapon built-in techs (but she can spark those). She will use the weapon in slot 1; if slot 1 is empty, she will use Martial Arts. Be sure to equip her tech inventory with relevant skills (skills irrelevant to main weapon or empty slots, including Evade skills = basic attack).
Her non-removable Prima Tutu is a special Suit with which you can only equip Accessories or a Shield. See the Items: Full Armor section for details. If possible (or necessary), adequately compensate its Fire weakness (Coppelia is a wooden doll), with a Starstone for example (Remaster: Flame Ring).
She has a special Spark Type 07 (cannot spark, basically). Lack of imagination, probably? ; )
You cannot make Coppelia Empress by LP-killing your Emperor. There is only one way and one chance to make her Empress: recruit her, and after the next Time Skip she will be among the candidates.

Race: Human | Reaction: Norm [M/F] | Strong | Formation: x
Starting equipment: Dayblade (M) or Moonlite (F), Harmonia Suit, Insulated Clothes, Entite Ring.
Starting techs & spells: inherited.

You decided your Last Emperor's gender & name at the very beginning of your adventure.
The Final Emperors are very strong and balanced.
They are Type 14 and can spark most Sword and Greatsword techs.
Note that the Last Emperors can operate the Windmaker, but they cannot access Nuono through Cape Chalier.
