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 8 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 301 available characters.

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). 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 Imperial Standards / 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

Most of the Characters & Classes were Remade as-is. To the original Classes, two were added in the Remaster, two were added in the Remake. Next to their English name is their Japanese name.

The Gender affects some quests, branchings and dialogues[, and 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 that mainly determine your Emperor's Reaction when you eavesdrop the Corsairs 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, Corsair, Saigo Clansman, Martial Artist, Vagabond, Iris.

The 'Strong' Emperor flag of the SFC / Remaster editions has disappeared.
Instead, to operate Hiraga's Windmaker (available only once, now) or do physical labor in Miles, the character must simply have STR ≥ 16, equipment included, i.e. anyone can qualify with the adequate STR-enhancing items.
The Classes in which all characters have default STR ≥ 16 are: Light Infantry, Mercenary, Imperial Guard, Levante Guard, Desert Guard, Nomad M, Crusader M, Corsair, Saigo Clansman, Martial Artist, Salamander, Ninja, Coppelia, Last Emperor.

Some Classes have innate Resist (Resistance), i.e. increased Def, to certain magic dmg. They are: Salamander (PY+50), Mole (TE+50), Nereid (HY+50), Iris (AE+50), Coppelia (status +30.)

[In the SFC/Remaster version, the Inheritance stat referred to the Imperial Succession Category:
- 00 for Mage: Court Mage M/F, Freelance Mage 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, Martial Artist, Corsair, Ninja.

The choices you got for your new Emperor depended on the Class and Category of your previous Emperor, and were 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 would have been 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 Martial Artist's Budo Gi, Diver's Trident, Amazon's Naginata, Levante Guard's Katana..

Equipped techs and spells are now conveniently saved class-by-class (and not reset like previously).

Abilities are class-specific passive bonuses.
They are unlocked after annexing at least 1 region and win 30 battles, and mastered after annexing 7 region and win 30 battles.
Mastering an Ability allows anyone to equip it (but the original owner must not be in the party).

The characters' Spark Type (SW1 SW2 GS1 GS2 AX CL HB SP SS MA1 MA2 SPE1 SPE2 or SPE3) is one of the most important pieces of information: it is one of the conditions that determine 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.
LOG (Logic, Reason) seems to be no longer detrimental to the generally relevant offensive Spell Power.

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 LV GS = Greatsword LV AX = Axe LV MC = Mace LV SP = Spear LV SS = Short Sword LV BW = Bow LV MA = Martial Arts LV

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

Named after Queens and Tsarinas, Female Rangers also, thanks to a high DEX, are good with Bows (and Short Sword too for 3 of them) and are more versatile than their Male counterparts, as they can be used as decent magic support (half have default magics, all higher MAG).

The rest are either Type CL (05) (Aries & Capricorn) who can spark all Mace techs, or Type BOW (02) (Sagittarius) who can spark all Bow techs; which means that in addition to their role as support spellcasters, 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).

Named after Christian Saints, Male Crusaders are strong (all STR 20+) and rather resistant (STA 17∼20) but slow, all have one starting magic: 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.

Among the other half, Peter & Valentine are Type SPE1 (13) (some Sword techs), Benedict is Type SW1 (10) (can spark most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs) and Christopher is Type SW2 (14) (can spark most Sword and Greatsword techs).

Named after pro-wrestlers, most Martial Artists are resistant (high STA), decently strong (good STR) but a bit on the slow side (which is unfortunate since SPD is important for MA), and all are Martial Arts sparkers.

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).

Starting equipment: Sword, Short Sword, Hat, Light Armor.
Starting tech: Short Sword.

Ability: Cutpurse
Effect: 15% chance to steal items from enemies upon successful melee attack.

Named after birds, Male Vagabonds (Thieves, in fact) are fast characters who are, stat-wise, better-suited to Short Sword & Bow than Sword (higher DEX than STR), contrarily to what their general default Sword bonus suggests. Note that Startling has a top-5 LOG (23).
Sparrow & Falcon are Type BOW (02) (can spark all Bow techs), Crow & Swift are Type SS (03) (can spark all Short Sword techs), Starling & Thrush are Type SW1 (10) (can spark most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs), while Robin & Pigeon are Type SW2 (14) (can spark most Sword and Greatsword techs).

Starting tech: Short Sword.

Ability: Scavenger
Effect: Chance to get 2x the amount of certain drop items upon battle victory.

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 slightly more versatile than their male counterparts, as three 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 SS (03) (can spark all Short Sword techs). The other half: Rabbit & Ferret are Type SW1 (10) (can spark most Sword, Greatsword and Short Sword techs), Badger Type BOW (02) (can spark all Bow techs) and Cat Type MA1 (00) (can spark most Martial Arts techs).
They have a unique piece of equipment: Heeled Sandals 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).

You can recruit her as your Empress once, ideally after changing Emperor while she is in your party (special cutscene).
She has a special Spark Type SPE3 (07) (cannot spark, basically). Lack of imagination, probably? ; )
