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.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    “Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
    which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
    —Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)

    “The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
