The game takes place on the world of Auldrant, a planet composed of Fonons: a material energy found in all things. Long ago, a new kind of Fonon was discovered, but great chaos was brought with the finding. By using this newest Seventh Fonons, one could read the future. One such Seventh Fonist, Yulia Jue, put in place a future for the world for thousands of years to come. This prophecy of the future's set path became known as the "Score" and is documented on stone tablets which were scattered throughout the world. The nations of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and Malkuth have fought over the fragments of these tablets for generations, each uncovering them and hoping to discover the future before the other.
As the game commences, the year is ND 2017. Luke fon Fabre, the son of Duke Fabre of the Kimlasca Kingdom, is 17 years old. He is the Light of the Sacred Flame who is destined to bring prosperity to Kimlasca. But since being kidnapped seven years ago by the Malkuth empire, he has been kept confined to the Fabre family mansion. The shock of the kidnapping erased all of Luke's memories prior to the event. But one fateful day, a mysterious woman breaks into the mansion and sets off a chain of events that will change the world forever...
Characters
Luke Fon Fabre
Age: 17
Height: 171 cm, 67 in, 5'7"
Weight: 68 kg, 150 lbs
Class: Swordsman
Luke is the only son of a noble family of the Kimlasca Kingdom. Since a kidnapping incident when he was young, he has lived isolated in his father's manor. Because of the shock of being kidnapped, he has lost the memory of his childhood. With his family's wealth, he has all of life's comforts, including training with Van, a soldier and teacher he admires very much. He is terribly selfish and ignorant of what the real world is like, and wishes to become a hero. His only hobby is swordsmanship, and though rough, he is quite skilled. He has the interesting ability to create a "hyperresonance" on his own with the power of the Seventh Fonon, a sort of power that usually requires more than one person.
Tear Grants
Age: 16
Height: 162 cm, 64 in, 5'4"
Weight: 50 kg, 110 lbs
Class: Melodist; Cleric
Tear is a soldier of the Order of Lorelei, being a Locrian Sergeant of the Oracle Knights Intelligence Division, which presides over the Score. She is a user of the Seventh Fonon. Born bearing the name Mystearica Aura Fende, she lost her mother while she was young (and never knew her father), and was later raised to be a soldier. She is extremely disciplined and feels compelled to be a soldier at all times. Taught to be quiet and controlled, she can seem cold. In actuality though, she merely represses her feminine side, mostly demonstrated by her love of cute things.
Jade Curtiss
Age: 35
Height: 186 cm, 73 in, 6'1"
Weight: 74 kg, 163 lbs
Class: Fonist
Jade is an officer of the Malkuth Empire, with the rank of Colonel. He's a very complex character, acting in conflicting ways frequently. Jade is a sarcastic and pessimistic individual at times; while at others he'll be honest and logical. The oldest member of the party, he usually jokes about his age and wisdom. He is an accomplished Fonic Artes user, and is also good with the spear. Jade almost never shows his true feelings, usually opting to hide behind a smile. Some call him the right-hand man of the Malkuth Emperor, Peony The IX, who is Jade's childhood friend. He is also known as "Jade the Necromancer" among the Malkuth army corps and is feared by them. During a mission aboard the armored landship Tartarus, he encounters Luke and company.
Anise Tatlin
Age: 13
Height: 152 cm, 60 in, 5'
Weight: 42 kg, 93 lbs
Class: Puppet Master
Anise is the guardian of the Order of Lorelei's highest official, the Fon Master. She is a bright and cheerful little girl, but can sometimes show a darker, almost scary side when provoked, and often hide her emotions when she is suffering. She seeks to marry into money, and it seems that she has been conspiring to become Luke's wife ever since meeting him. As a doll master, she can make her stuffed toy, Tokunaga, gigantic and ride on it in battle as it attacks enemies. She controls the doll by use of various equipable magic rods, with which she can also cast spells.
Guy Cecil
Age: 21
Height: 184 cm, 72 in, 6'
Weight: 79 kg, 174.2 lbs
Class: Swordsman
Guy is a servant of the House of Fabre. He was originally hired to be Luke's babysitter, but now he acts like an older brother and best friend to Luke. He considers himself somewhat responsible for how Luke grew up to be spoiled and selfish. He is a swordsman specializing in fast attacks and fontech. Though Guy is suave and confesses that he "likes looking at beautiful women", he is afraid of physical contact with women due to a past traumatic event.
Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear
Age: 18
Height: 168 cm, 66 in, 5'6"
Weight: 53 kg, 117 lbs
Class: Archer
Natalia is the princess of the Kimlasca Kingdom. She is sublime and proud, but at the same time is very humble and feels that the function of nobility is to tend to the needs of their subjects. Her empathy with the common man comes as a pleasant surprise to most, and she is responsible for several popular public works projects. She is also Luke's fiancée, and often scolds him for not accepting the responsibilities and duties of nobility. Natalia is also a Seventh Fonist and, like Tear, she has the ability to heal.
