Due to a simple misunderstanding early game the part/main character fights off with with Ria, the storekeeper. She never really apologized for accusing and attacking you. Not even a discount! What a bitch. Unfortunately she does have good stock so you still shop there through out the game.

The Tinker that runs the oddball store/junk shop that sells weird knick-knacks that you can't find anywhere else, along with actual junk. He also speaks in a loud voice with an irritating but non-specified accent.

An Easter Egg monster only encountered when it is snowing in the northern peaks of the map, and only between December 1st and January 1st according to your game system's time clock. He'll either be in one of 3 states:

1) Dec 1-24 Super Powerful, especially the closer to the 24th.
2) December 25-30 Weakened state
3) Dec 31 - Jan 1 Drunken state. Hilarious but tricky fight

A ghost of a soldier that you have to "kill" to send to the afterlife.

The Warden of the Haunted woods who for some reason lets your party in when she kept all other parties out.

One of many soldiers in the final Hell-like world.

the big bad master mind.

The NPC you notice from far away that looks like he has cool stuff but when you get there all he does is give you a pointless fortune.

The bard who joins your part for just a bit at the beginning and seems completely useless, then disappears for half the game, only to rejoin your party before the final dungeon, in a much more powerful form.

the main hero!

A witch who for most of the game, you're not sure if she's evil or good.

Uhh possibly a secret female warrior that joins you in the later half of the game and kicks arse? xD

An NPC trainer early game who teaches you magic. When you fight him outside of training you gain access to crafting custom spells. But usually isn't possible to beat him til mid-game.

In this video game, there are four worlds representing the basic elements. Jurinjo is the prince of the land of air.

An assassin/spy working undercover in a club, who keeps a close eye out on the protagonist on orders from the leader of their organization, and eventually follows him out one night to warn him of an impending ambush. They join the team after the protag makes an unpredicted turn and walks right into the trap, and the assassin throws any and all disguise protocols out the window to to take out the attackers almost before the protag notices they're there.

...I almost want to draw this thing out now.

I think of the final fantasy's Dragoon class.

The NPC you go to who revives fallen party members, ... for a price.

The fallen white mage (one of the bosses) who despises humankind, having been betrayed and left to die by whom they had once considered to be friends.

That super powerful player in an MMO that's full of himself in a more smug than loud way that possibly grates your nerves even more. Then it just gets worse as he hit on various female avatars then blatantly tries to buy them with rares and gold.

A town npc. Probably owns a shop.

Hmm. In a very secluded place, but will sell you space and time magic when you get to them. x3

An admin who has been with the game as a player since the near beginning. They're wise, professional, and yet somehow easy to get along with an open up to. Usually you'll run into him a town or two over from the starting place. Where players have the basics down and trying to immerse themselves in the world or learning to specialize more in their class roles.

An assassin-type character who wears his hod to hide the fact that he is indeed not human.

Damn ears won't stay under the hood xD

That spooky character the party assumes is the bad guy responsible for the recent happenings in the palace but turns out to actually be the prince conspiring to take the throne and willing to kill his whole family to do it.

The leader of assassins that kidnaps kids and turns them into his own species to join his team. o:

Well that sounds familiar somehow...

Anywho you are an NPC commander that shows up and kicks ass through various parts of the game as being pure awesome and perfect. But as you get stronger he loses some of that dazzle as you get closer to even terms and you see the very human man behind his reputation and his unfortunate part in the events that eventually led to your own quests to right his wrongs.

A generic enemy that are everywhere in a video game's afterlife/Hell/Hades-ish world.

The person possessed by the core of chaos, whether a devotee to chaos, or an innocent, it doesn't matter. You threaten the balance of the world, and must be destroyed.

The ice spirit that's actually the wandering ghost of a long-gone adventurer. His corpse lies at the bottom of a cursed frozen lake, and he helps the party greatly after they defeat the warlock who cursed the lake out of revenge and give the body a proper burial.

the tree alien summon that has teleporting wish granting powers like a genie.

The undead little girl who's been lost in the forest for centuries, and turns into a demonic monster when she finds out that the party isn't her mother.

A Christmas-themed wizard. :)

The Mad-Hatter's wife?

Blind healer/fighter

You would be the powerful oracle that the main character goes to for cryptic hints of what may come.

The companion that is more interesting than she looks. :)

In an open-world fantasy game, RinLin is a wandering faerie merchant that sells rare and magical items. At first, the prices of said items are far too steep for any normal player to find, but as you collect vials of faerie dust from dungeons and enemies, she takes it in exchange for discounts.

If you collect all 150 vials of dust throughout the game, she joins your party! In general, she is considered one of the best healer-mages in the game, but to get her you have to REALLY go exploring.

Eeek, how awesome :D

Key is a mysterious woman. No one knows of her origin, or how she ended up working for the richest family in the country. Some say she have hypnotic skills, and made use of those, but Key knows better - she's just living there due to a contract.
Help her get free, and this skilled alchemist/assassin will reward you handsomely.

In a cyberpunk game, Rin would be an orphan who lives in an abandoned alley, and takes care of all the stray animals at night while trying to make a living selling scrap metal handiwork during the day. The party first meets her while they're running away from a boss that's too strong for them (that they'll get to later), and she quietly directs them into her alley to hide, then distracts the boss while they escape.

Espsy is an unlock-able character that was once your enemy, but has found out they were used by the evil forces and have turned to get their revenge. Turns out to be the most loyal fighter in the whole group, but lacks healing skills.
Fighter/Ranger class.
