Final Fantasy XII - Characters

Vaan

Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Hume
Home: Rabanastre
Description: Living in the Rabanastre slums, Vaan maintains an air of hope even under the oppressive rule of the Empire. But he longs for more: a life without borders or authority. He dreams of becoming a sky pirate, free to go where he will.

Ashe

Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Hume
Home: Rabanastre
Description: The only child of King Raminas and sole heir to the Dalmascan throne, Ashe knows all too well she lacks the power to right the wrongs committed against her and her kingdom, but she will not allow herself to admit defeat.

Basch

Age: 36
Gender: Male
Race: Hume
Home: Dalmasca
Description: A captain in the Order of the Knights of Dalmasca, Basch achieved renown as a gallant and brave hero credited with countless victories on the battlefield. He is a man of justice who cannot abide inequity.

Penelo

Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Hume
Home: Rabanastre
Description: Like Vaan, Penelo calls Rabanastre's Lowtown home. She watches over Vaan, trying to keep him from getting into too much trouble. Though she lost her family in the war with the Empire, Penelo is ever cheerful, making her way by doing odd jobs in and around the city. Penelo believes that in perseverance, there is hope.

Balthier

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Hume
Home: N/A
Description: He would describe himself as a noble thief, stealing only from those who deserve it. He goes where he pleases, swearing fealty to no one. While roaming the skies of Ivalice with Fran, his Viera partner, he still makes time to charm the ladies with his silver tongue and put wrongs to right--grinning all the while.

Fran

Age: N/A
Gender: Female
Race: Viera
Home: Eruyt Village
Description: A Viera warrior, Fran is as much at ease with a sword as she is her bare hands. Her proficiency with a blade is matched only by her skill with a wrench, as she also handles the maintenance of Balthier's airship, the Strahl.
