  -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.







  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        - 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?









  -NOTES ABOUT CHARACTERS

  I am missing but one person now...that would be Gandar.  

Unfortunately, I totally forgot about him by the time I went and beat 

the game.  Now I've completely mastered the game (beat Iselia Queen 10 

times...the Angel Slayer is nice...).  Thus, submit info on Gandar if 

you would.  Such as his birthplace, age, race, and initial spell list if 

you can get it.







  -AUTHOR'S NOTE

  This is but my second FAQ...my first was the Front Mission 3 Battle 

Skills Guide for the English inclined.  My real name is Eric Willis, but 

I've decided to simply use my online alias for all further FAQ's.  That 

name is Etharion Dekar, one of my characters.  Thus, this isn't a copy 

or somesuch...it's just a name change.  ::shrugs::

  I thank my friend, Carl Stockstill for info on people I didn't have at 

the time.

  Thanks goes out to those on the boards who urged me on, too.
