A list of the characters found in the Playstation era Eastern RPG Wild ARMs 2.

Playable Characters

Ashley Winchester

A young man who belongs to a military organization called the Musketeers, later promoted to a special task force code-named ARMs. After a terrorist attack he finds himself burdened with great power. His weapon is an advanced bayonet.

Lilka Eleniak

A teenage wizard-in-training who takes her missing sister's place in the team, despite her self-doubts. She fights with umbrellas.

Brad Evans

A large man who is an expert in heavy weapons and explosives. Originally the hero of a revolution, he was later imprisoned for "war crimes" (before joining ARMS.) He uses metal gloves as his weapons.

  • Ambiguously Gay: It was once widely rumored that Brad was gay in the Japanese script, but this was never verified. But regardless, the one other person in the world closest to his heart is a man in a wheelchair.
  • Badass: He's even the only one who single-handledly has the necessary power to defeat Ragu O'Ragula.
  • Evolving Weapon: Like Ashley's bayonet, you can buy upgrades for his heavy ARM.
  • Explosive Leash: His collar.
  • Expy: Battle-wise, he's essentially Rudy Roughnight. Character-wise, he's more like Ricardo Banderas.
  • Faking the Dead: His almost Heroic Sacrifice.
  • Gentle Giant: He's tall and fierce-looking, and even more formidable in battle. But to ordinary people, he's actually surprisingly affable and level-headed. Just very reserved about the details of his background.
  • Homoerotic Subtext: With Billy, the other person he loves most in the world.
  • Kill Sat: Sky Eye.
  • Legacy Character: "Brad Evans, the Hero of Slayheim." The playable Brad in the game is not actually the real Brad. Brad Evans and Billy Pilder both did fight together in the Slayheim Liberation Army, but the real Billy Pilder swapped identity cards with Brad Evans to help the real Brad escape. But when "Billy" (the real Brad) was found with a serious head injury that leaves him barely able to function, "Brad" (the real Billy) decides to fight on with the title. "Brad" eventually admits he's been lying about his identity, and is definitely not the Hero of Slayheim; but he has become a new "Brad Evans" of his own heroic making.
  • Mighty Glacier
  • Mr. Fanservice
  • The Scapegoat: He and the entire Slayheim Liberation Army.
  • Skunk Stripe
  • Testosterone Poisoning: For the most part Averted — he's just very, very strong and powerful. But then he gets his "Earthquake" tool, and...come on.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: This is half-true, as his shirt has only one shoulder strap, showing a good portion of his torso at all times.
  • Walking Spoiler

Kanon

A bionic, female bounty hunter, who at first opposes the group but later joins it. She uses daggers (and her bionic implants) in combat.

Tim Rhymeless

An innocent boy who discovers he's the Chosen One to receive powers from the planet's spirits. Fights with a staff.

Marivel Armitage

A female inventor who helps the team with their technological needs. She becomes playable after a specific subquest, where it is revealed that she's actually the last of a race of vampire-like beings. A pair of robots fight for her.

Allies

Irving Vold Valeria

The commander of ARMS. He purchased the unit after it was decimated in a terrorist attack, and appointed Ashley, Lilka, and Brad as its initial members.

  • Brother-Sister Incest
  • The Chessmaster: He's pulling the strings behind everything. And we mean everything.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrifices himself along with his sister to stop the end of the world.
  • Necessary Evil: He formed both the heroes and the villains as a two-tiered plan to gather information as well as global resources in order to stop a sentient dimension from swallowing their world. The villains could use whatever tactics they wanted; and the heroes would be able to get the combined support of the world's governments who wanted them to stop the villains.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy
  • Xanatos Gambit: He pulls off a masterful gambit by creating both the heroes and the villains' organizations. Whichever side wins, Valeria will have united the whole world in pursuit of his true goal - the destruction of the Kuiper Belt. The world would NEVER have united in time to stop it without his creation of a threat. Of course, if ODESSA won, they'd stop the threat too.

Altaecia Rune Valeria

Irving's sister, who supports him unconditionally.

Amy and Kate

Irving's telepathic assistants, who operate the communication device, and also the chateau once it starts flying.

Pooka

A "sub spirit" that Tim can summon, which is sort of like a Guardian Lite. He serves as Tim's first tool.

Lombardia

A biomechanical dragon that can turn into an jet.

Anastasia Valeria, The Sword Magess

A young woman who fought against evil using the sword Argetlahm. She is revered in the present day.

Lucied

The Guardian of Desire, and Anastasia's partner.

Non-Playable Characters

Marina

Ashley's childhood friend, whose mother owns the bakery where Ashley lives.

Tony Stark

A friend of Tim's whom Ashley rescues from kidnapers in the prologue.

Scott Summers

Another friend of Tim's. The three of them are always together.

  • Shout-Out: To Scott Summers (aka Cyclops) of the X-Men.
  • Verbal Tic: He begins nearly every sentence with "in my humble opinion".

Odessa

Vinsfeld Rhadamanthus

The leader of Odessa, a terrorist organization which seeks to take over the world.

Cocytus

A group of four powerful individuals that fight for Odessa.

Caina

The source of monsters for Odessa and the person who controls Randolf the Magic Key.

Antenora

An assassin and strategist for Odessa. She joined Odessa in order to exact revenge on Vinsfeld, who was responsible for the deaths of her family.

  • Best Served Cold
  • Rapunzel Hair: Her hair reaches down to the backs of her knees while in a ponytail.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail
  • The Vamp: To Vinsfeld. Getting him to love her and allowing herself to be killed, just so that he can know the same anguish of loss as she did when Vinsfeld murdered her family.

Ptolomea

A very tall man and the leader of Odessa's troops. He's prone to spouting cheesy lines and uses a windmill-like three-bladed claw as a weapon.

Judecca

Odessa's hitman and an expert marksman, and a sadist to the core.

Liz and Ard

The game's comic relief villains, and Odessa's science division. Liz is prone to spouting nearly-nonsensical poetry, while his companion can only say "Ard".

Other Antagonists

Lord Blazer

The demon possessing Ashley, who is destined to destroy the world.

Kuiper Belt

A sentient parallel universe, that's looking to devour Filgaea.
