Ys Origin - Characters

Characters

Yunica Tovah (ユニカ＝トバ, Yunika Toba?)

Yunica is the granddaughter of Priest Tovah, one of the six priests of Ys. She begins the game armed with a battle axe, but later acquires a sword. The axe allows for rapid attack sequences, whereas the sword affords a wider reach. Although unable to cast any kind of magic, she can use Fire, Wind and Thunder skills with her axe and sword when the related gemstones are found. Yunica's gameplay is comparable to Adol's in The Oath in Felghana and The Ark of Napishtim.

Hugo Fact (ユーゴ＝ファクト, Yūgo Fakuto?)

The magician Hugo is an ancestor of Dark Fact. He attacks by emitting magic missiles from his staff and from his two small satellites, the Eyes of Fact.

The Claw (鉤爪の男, Kagizume no Otoko?) or Toal Fact (トール＝ファクト, Tōru Fakuto?)

Toal is Hugo's mysterious older brother; he attacks rapidly, wielding two large metal claws.

Adol Christin (アドル＝クリスティン, Adoru Kurisutin?)

The expansion disk and later editions of the game add Adol to the roster of player characters in the Time Attack and Arena Mode bonus games. The player can choose to play Adol as he appeared either in The Ark of Napishtim or in The Oath in Felghana. Each variation plays as it did in the original game, but with control mechanics adjusted for parity with the other three characters.
