Background Story

3★	A young black mage from the distant world of Gaia. While attending a play in the kingdom of Alexandria, he is swept up in Zidane's plot to kidnap Princess Garnet, and before long joins in on his new companions' quest. Raised with no knowledge of the world or his own origins, he is at first timid and dependent on others, but in the course of his journey gradually gains the courage to face the truth of the past.
4★	A young black mage from the distant world of Gaia. He lived each day with no knowledge of who he truly was, until, while journeying with Zidane and his friends, he came to learn that he was an artificial being designed by the kingdom of Alexandria as a weapon. Though his confidence falters after finding out that he is an instrument of destruction that will one day "stop," through his encounters with his companions and fellow black mages, he finds the courage to face the devastating truth about his identity.
5★	A young black mage from the distant world of Gaia. Vivi was originally created as a weapon of war, but eventually came to develop a consciousness, later joining Zidane and the others without any real knowledge of his true identity. During his travels he finally learns about his origins, along with his limited lifespan, and begins maturing little by little. Aware that he no longer has much time left to live, he decides to spend it all with his dear friends.
6★	A young black mage from the distant world of Gaia. Vivi is a prototype black mage who managed to gain a consciousness of his own. Although he began his travels still young and naive, he soon experienced emotions such as fear and sorrow, and came to learn the value of joy and kindness. Knowing his time is almost at an end, he is resolved to stay true to himself and live his life to the fullest until the day when he no longer functions.

Fusion

3★	My magic... Was it made to hurt people?
4★	My magic... Does it help? I hope it does...
5★	I'm not a puppet for killing! I know I'm not...
6★	There are still so many things I don't know, but I'll...try my best.

Awakening

4★	Zidane... Grandpa... I think I'm beginning to understand what it means to live.
5★	You've taught me another big lesson in life. Thanks...
6★	If we try to understand everyone better, they might open up to us.

Summon

3★	I... I have to find out what I am. Am I even human?
4★	I'm scared, and confused...but I must press on. Please, take me with you!
5★	I don't want to stop. Traveling with your friends gives your life meaning.
6★	Um, c-can I come, too? I wanna find out who I really am.

Journeying together is fun, isn't it? I hope you'll let me come along with you.
