In the past I’ve introduced you which were going to be the main protagonists of the epic quest Heroes of Star Ocean will be. The Captain, Blueno, Heero and Anna, among others, will be the great people taking the story forward. Each of them is deep, unique and, in my very biased point of view, an amazing personality.
But they are not alone. In their search and dreams they are antagonized by a group of what I like to call the “bad guys.” These bad guys are also special, as they are not bad or evil in the same way the usual fantasy antagonists are. They also have dreams and values and may even be noble. Yet, they are rivals and are willing to do what it takes to win.
The rivals will be:
Basque – The leader of the crew, he is their source of inspiration and the one who drives them forward. He is not a bad guy per se, but still a terrifying rival for the Captain. He is the oldest of the protagonists, has a lot of honor, and is very tough. He is one the world’s most feared snipers, with an accuracy and power matched by few.
Goras – He is Basque’s right hand man, just as Blueno is for the Captain. He is one of the world’s most renowned magicians and has a power deemed almost legendary. He is the brain behind the rival’s quest and, though not a bad man, is not as honorable as Basque. He wants to succeed in his mission and will do everything he can to build the path to victory.
Mask – The anti-Heero of the story, he is the major antagonist by the end of the novel. He is greatly determined, but powered by the resentment of a terrible past. He wants to rise to the very top of the world and is going to do anything to achieve his goal. He gains one of the temples’ most powerful powers and adds it up to his great skill. He is a young man to be feared and his progress throughout the story is equal or even bigger than Heero’s.
Julia – She is a young and charming girl. She holds some kind of connection with the Captain from before the story’s beginning but she is totally furious at him for something. She wants revenge, but it’s still not her top priority. Once a noble girl, she is corrupted by Mask’s ambition and is going to go all the way with him. As a woman, she builds a strong rivalry with Anna.
Eva – She is a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She is incredibly skilled and owner, also, to one of the amazing powers of the temples. She doesn’t get along well with Mask or Julia and will make them have a hard time if they want to go away from the group’s goals. She might go against her own crew by the end of the novel.
There will be more bad guys coming, that’s for sure. This may even not be the only party of rivals for the Captain and his crew. But, either way, these five are going to be the ones who will pose the biggest obstacles in the quest of our heroes. Again, as with the protagonists, this crew will also have pet dogs, parrots and much more to add a bit of laugh and deepness to the story.
