Characters

• Jaster Rogue

Voiced by: Hiroshi Tamaki (Japanese), Will Friedle (English) The main hero of the story and the first playable character. His home is on Rosa, a one of the legendary Seven-Star Swords. With their help, Jaster slays the beast and is offered a chance to join the Dorgengoa Pirates. He accepts the invitation and joins the crew as they head out into space. He and Kisala are romantically interested in each other although nothing actually happens romantically between them not counting their joint ability "Fated Passion". He will become the Star King. Jaster has to stop his arch-nemesis Valkog Dranzer and his two assistants once and for all. His main weapon is a sword while his sub-weapon is a pistol. Jaster beheld the Drigellum of Dreams.

• Kisala

Voiced by: Aya Ueto (Japanese), Natalie Lander (English) The daughter of the pirate captain, Dorgengoa, and the only female on board the Dorgenark when Jaster joins. While she has an innocent and cute appearance to her, Kisala is a tomboy and doesn't mind being around rough space pirates. Jaster and Kisala meet for the first time when Kisala saves Jaster from desert beasts on Rosa. Most of Kisala's history is unknown until she and her friends discover that Kisala is the missing Princess Irieth of the planet Mariglenn, known widely as "Eden". When Kisala meets Jaster, she too believes that Jaster is Desert Claw, but was uncertain at first since she pictured Desert Claw to be more rugged. She is romantically interested in Jaster but never tells him her true feelings. Kisala's main weapons are two twin daggers and her sub-weapons are her boots. Kisala held the Drigellum of Kindness.

• Zegram Ghart

Voiced by: Kazuhiro Yamaji (Japanese), Steve Blum (English) A bounty hunter who joined forces with Dorgengoa long before Jaster came aboard the crew. Out of all the crew members, Zegram's home planet is never revealed (but a cutscene near the game's end could indicate that it is Zerard). When Jaster joins, Zegram has his doubts that Jaster is really the famous "Desert Claw", but he ignores the facts and starts to bond with Jaster like the other crew members do. While Jaster and friends are often winding up in trouble or need Zegram, he is often seen mysteriously alone communicating with someone. Despite being playable early in the story Zegram actually acts as an antagonist for most of the story as it's revealed later on that Zegram was in league with the Daytron company since the start and his actions caused a fight between him and Jaster. But when they meet again on Rosa, Zegram re-joins them just as they are battling Seed for the final time. It is revealed in his backstory that Zegram's girlfriend, Jane, was killed while saving an innocent bystander from a monster attack, and he has been living with this inside for a long time. He was talked into working with Valkog only because Professor Izel promised him a way to bring Jane back from the dead. After defeating Seed, Zegram realizes that Valkog and Izel probably had no intention of ever bringing Jane back, let alone his pondering of the ethical conflict of reviving the dead. Zegram's main weapon is a sword while he wields a throwing star as his sub-weapon. Zegram's appearance has been described by fans as a combination of Auron, Xiahou Dun, and Jack Sparrow, or the character Ioz from Hanna Barbara's Pirates of Dark Water. Zegram held the Drigellum of Love.

• Simon Wicard

Voiced by: Masaya Onosaka (Japanese), Greg Ellis (English) One of the first Dorgengoa crew members to meet Jaster on planet Rosa. Simon's home planet is Zerard and he is seen as a sturdy short man with a mask covering his face. His true identity isn't revealed until near the game's end when it is found out that his real identity is Sho, who was in a major accident that cost him his face. He joined the Dorgengoa Pirates after that, while at the same time leaving his wife and daughter behind. Simon accepts Jaster right away when he is mistaken for the "Desert Claw". He speaks with a very thick Scottish accent in the English version, and a thick Kansai dialect in the Japanese version. Simon's main weapon is a flamethrower and his sub-weapon is a multi-missile launcher. Simon held the Drigellum of Compassion.

• Steve

Voiced by: Kazuhiro Yamaji (Japanese), Hideyuki Umezu (English) Steve is an android designed by Dr. Pocacchio from planet Zerard. He is the navigator of the Dorgenark. Steve is first met on planet Rosa along with Simon and joins the party along with him. Like the others, he too believed that Jaster was "Desert Claw" due to him carrying Desert Claw's legendary blade. Steve, out of all of Dr. Pocacchio's inventions, is considered his favorite since Steve was the first android of his kind to care for others as well as his creator. Steve secretly carries a data replica of Mark, his creator's deceased son, which can only be seen when on a virtual transmission with the doctor while in Sleep Mode. Steve's main weapons are his robotic fists and his sub-weapon is two miniature satellites. Steve held the Drigellum of Desire. In the English version, he is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.

• Lilika Rhyza

Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue An amazon from the planet Juraika, Lilika is the only other female crew member to join. She meets Jaster, Kisala and Zegram when their ship crash lands on Juraika after engine trouble. Although no one from Juraika will listen to outsiders, Lilika sees Jaster and his friends differently and helps them get into Burkaqua Village. She is the only crew member to have a little sister, who lost her sight after a vicious beast attacked and killed their mother long ago. When Lilika must sacrifice her sister to the Star God, she discovers that their "god" is really the same monstrous beast that attacked them when they were children. Lilika joins Jaster and Kisala in killing the beast to protect her sister. After killing the beast and saving her sister, she is "banished" from the village for "interfering with the ritual of the Star God". In truth, the chief sent her out in hopes of her learning what path their people should take. Finally free, she joins the Dorgenark Pirates after the ship repairs are complete. Her main weapon is her bow and arrows while her sub-weapon is a hatchet. However, her bow uses her sub-weapon ammo. Lilika beheld the Drigellum of Courage.

• Jupis Tooki McGanel

Voiced by: Yutaka Aoyama (Japanese), Ben Diskin (English) Jupis is the only playable character who is first fought as a boss in the Starship Factory on Zerard. Jupis is a lizard-like alien known as a Granshee. Awhile ago, he was a great scientist and genius who devoted his entire work to science when working for Daytron. His assistant, Tony, got him involved in an accident while working on a theory that could revolutionize time/space energy. But his data was lost when coffee was spilled on the system and Jupis took his entire frustration out on Tony. He was then fired and went slightly insane. He later takes over the Starship Factory and gains control of all of the machines within the factory. It was only through the combined efforts of Jaster, Lilika and Steve that he is finally defeated, even when fighting with his giant robot Johnny. He tries to make his escape when the police come in to capture Jupis. With nowhere to go, Jupis escapes aboard the Dorgenark and becomes a crew member. Jupis' main weapon is a spear while his sub-weapon is a disk launcher. Although he joins the party before Deego he is the last character whom the player can control due to the fact the story moves on to Vedan before Jupis can be controlled. Fans have likened Jupis to Jar Jar Binks from the Star Wars universe, as at first he seems like a bungling, gimmicky comic relief character...although he seems to shed this character stereotype as the game progresses. Jupis beheld the Drigellum of Pride.

• Deego Aegis

Voiced by: Yutaka Aoyama (Japanese), Ben Diskin (English) The final playable character to be recruited to the team. Deego comes from the planet Vedan, which is a large industrial mine planet. Deego is an ex-military man and he looks like a well muscled boxer dog with a robotic arm. He retired from the Longardian army and is usually seen hanging out at Angela's Bar, owned by his friend, Angela. His other friend, Gale, had joined up with the Morarty Family, a crime organization that controls all of the city of Myna. After Angela's bar is burned down by Junia, the son of Zax Morarty and lackey of Gale, Deego joins Jaster and Kisala's party in order to punish Gale. They manage to reach the bottom floor of the mines, where Deego confronts Gale in a final showdown. After the battle, he discovers that Angela is trying to leave Myna. He manages to catch her and reveals how he really feels about her (she wanted to leave so Deego could learn to stand on his own two feet again). With Angela remaining in Myna and his friendship restored with Gale, Deego joins the Dorgenark crew. His main weapon is a giant axe while his sub-weapon is an arm-mounted machine-gun. Deego is noted for receiving the Officer's Coin shortly after he helps the party fight Gale, which is an item that cannot be used to unlock an ability until almost the end of the game. Deego beheld the Drigellum of Friendship.

• Desert Claw

Voiced by: Koichi Yamadera Desert Claw is only a temporary character during the first part of the tutorial stage on Rosa who joins Jaster at Level 20. He is known as "Hooded Man" during this stage as Jaster doesn't discover who he is until after he leaves. Desert Claw just so happens to be Jaster's father (which you find out near the end of the game). Desert Claw cannot be played by the player, he has no Revelation Chart, he cannot have his weapons and clothing changed and he cannot be accessed after the tutorial.
