[edit] Personality

The Protagonist very rarely talks or participate in any conversation, but rather has his friend Mormo do the talking. The only time he speaks is when prompted, though his voice isn't heard. As such, he has no real set personality except for a desire to protect his friends. He can range from teasing and somewhat sadistic to kind and caring.

[edit] Fighting Style

The Protagonist has no set fighting style; rather, he is unique in that he can change job classes to suit his style and preference.

[edit] History

[edit] Radiant Mythology

The Protagonist is a Descender created by Terresia's World Tree in order to protect it from the Devourer, a monster which consumes worlds and their World Trees. As a means of defending Terresia, he has no past of his own. His sole purpose in life is to fight and to protect, and joins Ad Libitum, a guild that fights for the world's peace and safety, in order to do so. As he works with Ad Libitum, taking requests and performing missions, the people of Terresia come to trust him, especially those he fights with.

Mormo comments that the Protagonist is an unusually strong Descender, possibly due to Terresia's World Tree's overwhelming strength and mana. He is also a phenomenal fighter with exceptional natural ability. He is also capable of obtaining the Radiant equipment of legend.

As he travels, he develops a special inner bond with Kanonno, a girl with amnesia he protects at the beginning of the game. When Kanonno discovers her past as a Descender, the Protagonist is willing to believe in her in spite of her doubts, and his and Mormo's persistence is what brings her back.

But as time passes and his world weakens, the Protagonist begins to feel strain when he exercises his powers as a Descender. Whenever he destroys a Gilgilum Node, he blacks out and worries his friends, such as when the Protagonist and Leon Magnus take out the Node in the Weald, only for the Protagonist to pass out and have Leon carry him back to the city. Furthermore, the Protagonist learns that, when his mission is complete, he will return to the World Tree.

But, in spite of all this, he manages to defeat Gilgilum and Widdershin, Gilgilum's Descender and save his world. His World Tree bears fruit, the seeds of other worlds, and fellow Descenders say good-bye with their worlds. The Protagonist then returns to sleep in the World Tree.

[edit] Relationships

[edit] Radiant Mythology

Mormo - The Protagonist and Mormo are close partners, agreeing in many opinions and almost never fighting.

Kanonno - The two are close together, initially bonding over their supposed lack of past and then over the weight of being a Descender.

Leon Magnus - Leon is quietly impressed by the Protagonist's strength, going as far as to carry him back to Doplund from the deepest part of the Weald after he passes out from destroying the Gilgilum Node within.
