Tales of Innocence's cast:

Main Characters

Luca Milda

Luca is a shy, studious, cowardly nerd from a rich family in the Kingdom of Regnum. He is being raised to inherit his father's lucrative merchant business, but after his own Avatar powers awaken and he is forced to flee from the military, he embarks on a quest to discover the truth behind the events surrounding the Manifest thousands of years ago. His personal ideal is to become a doctor.

Luca's weapon is a BFS, and his magical element is fire, both of which are largely at odds with his personality.

  • Adaptational Badass: Not that he isn't in the original game, but the manga adaptation amps it up to the point that in the first chapter he blocks a sword barehanded by letting it through the palm of his hand.
  • Adorkable / Moe
  • Apologizes a Lot
  • BFS - It's bigger than he is.
  • Blood Knight: After overcoming his initial fear, he develops this personality in the hope that it will transform him into the badass he wants to be, but fortunately his friends stop him from going too far.
  • Bookworm - He comments that tests are fun during a skit with Iria.
  • Cute Shotaro Boy - A bit old for this, but in terms of appearance, he qualifies.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: Has this tendency towards romance, as shown when he tried to ask Iria on a date.
  • Evil Laugh: Just once but it was still far more creepy than anyone else's, especially because it was triggered by him enjoying killing reincarnated soldiers...
  • Expecting Someone Taller - somewhat subverted when you consider that he's about 5' 6", which is quite normal for someone his age (and ironically, taller than the much older looking Jude Mathis), but the trope still applies.
  • Expy: He got one in Emil. Also noted for looking similar to Trunks.
  • Green Eyes
  • The Hero of the Five-Man Band
  • Heroic BSOD: The most notable of which ended up wiping out Sky Castle, AKA the remains of Devalorka (from a certain point of view, heaven) so quickly that his friends where forced to flee without him towards the airship.
  • Ho Yay - The Relationship Values allow this. Story-wise, with Spada.
  • Idiot Ball - Seriously, Luca, when an Ax Crazy tells you to come closer, regardless of weather or not he wants to tell you his final words, it's when you MUST run away.
  • Implausible Fencing Powers - Yes, he's Asura's reincarnation. Yes, he can kick your butt.
  • Kid Hero: He's fifteen - and looks even younger.
  • Lonely Rich Kid
  • Made of Iron: Besides being the mighty glacier of the group, story wise he survived things most people wouldn't like getting impaled by Hasta, as well as Sky Castle's crash on the ground.
  • Magic Knight: The class he was inserted into in Tales of the World. His abilities are actually even more varied than the trope would suggest.
  • Mighty Glacier: Very strong defence and (relatively) slow attacks that nevertheless deal the 2nd highest amount of damage per time among the playable characters.
  • Names to Know in Anime - Akiko Kimura
  • Nice Guy
  • Older Than They Look: He looks like he's twelve. And he certainly sounds the part!
  • Playing with Fire
  • Reincarnation
  • Shrinking Violet
  • Spell My Name with an "S" - Ruca/Luca
  • Sleepyhead: Spaces out a lot in the beginning due to the awakening of his former life's memories, but overcomes this in the end.
  • The Chew Toy - Picked on by everyone in the party except Ange at least once.
  • The Illegible - Spada notes that Luca is this. Apparently a sensitive subject, and funny since he wants to become a doctor.
  • The Red Mage: Alongside the wide variety of physical attacks, he is also able to heal and form a magical barrier[1] around himself, increase his own attack stats as well as his allies, cast long range magical attacks to one enemy as well as deal massive damage to multiple enemies despite only using one element type.
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy - Subverted personality-wise.
Asura

The general of the Sensus Army, who wants to get the Manifest to reunite Devaloka and Naraka into one world. This is cut short when Inanna murders him to prevent this. When he reincarnated, his anger and pain at being betrayed by Inanna and Durandal became Overlord/Mathias, and the rest became Luca.

Iria Animi

Iria is a loudmouthed girl from a small town which was attacked by the Arca cult. As a result, she has sworn revenge on the cult and on its leader, Mathias. A small critter named Coda follows her around, but is never explained in the plot. Iria probably has the most conflict of memories out of all the characters.

Iria wields two guns. Her element is water, and she also gains a handful of healing spells.

Inanna

Asura's lover. By all appearances, the two are completely devoted to each other. However, Inanna opposes the plan to seize the Manifest and merge Devaloka with Naraka, and pleads repeatedly with Asura to give up his war. She was actually sent with Durandal by the Ratio to get close to Asura and assassinate him. When it's clear that he's not going to give up his plan, she stabs him with Durandal.

Spada Belforma

A hotblooded boy from Regnum. For some reason, he's cut himself off from his rich, noble family, except his butler.

Spada has two swords, which he wields mostly like Lloyd, in a two-sword adaptation of Cless' classic fighting style. His element is wind and lightning.

Durandal

A talking holy sword forged by Vulcan, Durandal was made to fight Vulcan's previous creation, Gae Bolg, who turned out to be somewhat violent. Durandal, of course, defeated Gae Bolg with the help of Asura, his wielder. Durandal then helps Asura with the war against the Ratio, up until he willingly allowed Inanna to use him to assassinate Asura.

Hermana Larmo

A young girl from the Kingdom of Regnum. Hermana runs an underground school for Avatar children who would be captured for study by the Imperial Capital. She has a heavy Kansai dialect, but is actually quite clever and savvy, and in every adaptation knows more about the war in Devaloka than the party. The manga adds a greedy streak: she won't stop charging and crediting the party for her tips.

Hermana fights with her fists and feet, oddly for someone of her size; the antagonist of her segment comments on this. Her main element is earth.

Vrtra

Vrtra is a large white dragon who was Asura's steed as well as a caretaker of sorts. It's implied that she's the oldest and wisest thing in all of Devaloka, with legends stating that she was born around the same time as the world itself, and continued to live long after the Fall.

Ricardo Soldato

A mercenary-for-hire eventually employed as Ange's bodyguard. He is a sniper, and as such wields a rifle and bayonet. He is usually the most rational, logical, and level-headed of the group, and rarely goes back on his word. His spells are primarily darkness- and earth- based, darkness being his primary element. Also the wielder of Area of Effect healing magic.

Hypnos

Ratio's general, a Reaper and Asura's sworn enemy, who promised to judge Asura's actions in their next lives. As Thanatos's younger brother, he had to pick up the slack after Thanatos was exiled from Devaloka.

Ange Serena

A sister from the sanctuary in the holy city of Naos. She is a holy woman who is skilled in healing spells and self-defense, and she knows a lot about politics. She uses primarily light-based spells and healing magic, but is also good at close-range combat, as she fights with knives. Her element is light.

Orifiel

Ratio's tactician and Himmel's teacher, renown for his intellect, level head, and chivalry. Despite being a Ratio, Orifiel opposes the war and supports the unification of Devaloka and Naraka.

Coda

Iria's pet muse, a mouse-like critter, who really likes food.

QQ Selezneva

A new character introduced in Tales of Innocence R. QQ is a spirited archaeologist from another world. Though she seems slow at times, she is energetic and loves to hug people.

Kongwai Tao

A new character introduced in Tales of Innocence R. Kongwai is a quiet and mysterious spellcaster from another world who dislikes disputes and often takes the role of mediator. He claims that his mission is to "save the souls" of two unspecified people, later revealed to be Thitose Cxarma and Hasta Ekstermi.


Arca

Mathias

The mysterious masked leader of Arca, an influential cult of Avatars who seek to capture the Manifest. She is actually a Reincarnation of Asura, born from his pain and hatred upon being betrayed by Inanna; as a result, Mathias bears the appearance of Inanna herself. While the majority of Arca believe that Mathias wishes to use the Manifest to create a utopia for Avatars, her true intention is to destroy the world.

Thitose Cxarma

A young avatar from Ashihara who wants to join Arca. She has a crush on Luca.

Sakuya

Asura's attendant, who was deeply in love with him.

Sian Tenebro

A young boy working for Arca. His dogs, Cer and Ber, are always following him around. They're his biological brothers, the other two heads of Cerberus.

Cerberus

The three-headed dog that guards the Manifest.


Other Antagonists

Hasta Ekstermi

A mercenary. Slightly nuts.

Gae Bolg

Forged by Vulcan to give its wielder great power, Gae Bolg had a nasty habit of turning people evil. He was eventually destroyed by Durandal, and then reincarnated as Hasta.

Oswald fan Kuruela

A man in a high position in the Regnum army. He is in charge of researching ways to put Avatars to use in the war, including developing the gigantesses, large mechanical war machines powered by their bodies.


Other Characters

Gardel

The enigmatic leader of the Grigori, who deeply loves Naraka. He is actually Thanatos himself, who never reincarnated. The Grigori are the descendants of the children he had with his human wife.

Thanatos

A reaper in service of Ratio, who was exiled to Naraka after he fell in love with a human woman. Hypnos is his younger brother.

Albert Grandeioza

The leader of Tenos, who wants to use the Manifest for the benefit of his country. He planned to sacrifice Ange to invoke it, but she eventually talked him into helping the party instead.

Himmel

Orifiel's beloved student and one of the pillars of Devaloka. The Ratio leaders eventually executed him, as he shared Orifiel's favorable view on unifying Devaloka with Naraka, and they felt it would be easier to let him reincarnate and start from scratch than try to convince him otherwise.
