Sophia Esteed is a childhood friend of Fayt Leingod. She is a 17 year old Earthling. Sophia was born on the orbital colony Moonbase and then moved to Earth. She is a fairly odd girl, at least for the era Star Ocean 3 takes place in, for she enjoys cooking, cleaning, and basic things traditionally considered "feminine". Because she is such close friends with Fayt and his parents, as well as her parents and Fayt's parents working together, she is considered a member of the family and refers to Fayt's father and mother as "Uncle Robert" and "Aunty Ryoko".

Fayt Leingod is the main character of Star Ocean 3. He is a seemingly-normal college student from Earth. His father, Robert Leingod, is a famous authority on symbological genetics, a highly controversial scientific field, and does much of his work on the orbital colony of Moonbase. Fayt is somewhat lazy when it comes to his college work and takes every opportunity during his vacation to Hyda IV, a famous resort planet, to ignore that work. He does this mostly by playing games, specifically, combat simulation holographic games. (Source: Wikipedia)
Albel Nox is an Elicoorian swordsman from the kingdom of Airyglyph and The captain of the Black Brigade, one of the three military forces of the Kingdom of Airglyph. He is known as Albel the Wicked, Albel is easily identified by the gauntlet on his left arm. He is an excellent combatant specializing in the katana, a special kind of sword, and in one-on-one combat he is said to possess skills comparable to Duke Vox, the captain of the Dragon Brigade. During Albel's Ascension of the Flame ceremony, which occurred when he was fifteen years old, he failed to take his place among the knights of the Dragon Brigade when he was unable to release his own individual feelings and commune with the spirit of the air dragon. He should have died for his hubris as the dragons breathed their fury upon him, but his father Glou Nox shielded him with his own body and bore the brunt of the flames, saving his life. Lord Glou Nox, Albel's father, was good friends with Count Woltar, the third leader of Airyglyph's military, and Count Woltar came to look after the young and mischievous Albel. Albel's left arm was severely burned as a result of his failed attempt to make a partnership with a dragon. His father's death has led Albel to self-loathing, as he thinks that he did not deserve to be saved as he had failed. It has been hypothesized that because of a fear that someone will sacrifice themselves to save him again, he keeps others at arm's length, so that he (and they) won't get hurt again. Regardless, Albel is socially inept; he speaks little, and that which he says is often derogatory or threatening in nature, and he often refers to others as "maggots," "worms," and "fools."

She is an enigmatic young and beautiful human girl who is rumored to possess some very strange powers. Orphaned at a young age, she somehow became attached to Quark, an anti-Federation organization most active in the Klaus System, through those having saved her after her mother's death. Although she is an Earthling, her impeccable integrity led the anti-Federation organization Quark to make her their leader. Now as its leader, she is using the group's resources to help her to discover the origin of her powers, leading her to the need to find Professor Robert Leingod and his family. This search forces her to send her friends and coworkers, Cliff Fittir and Mirage Koas, out to find Fayt Leingod. She is the voice of reason in most situations and tends to be rather blunt.

Tanya Degurechaff is a cute, adorable and pretty-good looking little girl. But deep inside, she is highly power-hungry, amoral, ruthless, sadistic and hot-tempered. Especially when she is in battle against her enemies, she shows utter ruthlessness and bloodlust just to accomplish her missions. Tanya also strongly disapproves of failure and disobedience from her subordinates. She is loyal to her own job and always wants to finish it as soon as possible. Tanya will never let anyone discriminate her appearance because of how fast she goes through the ranks in the military.
Originally a salaryman who died in an accident in 2013, he was reborn as a girl living in an alternate universe version of Europe during World War I. At just nine years of age, Tanya enters the Empire's Mages Division and is promoted to Second Lieutenant. Her talents, efficiency, and ruthlessness makes her an asset for the Empire and a threat on the battlefield.
Not much is known about the protagonist in his original life, including his name. He was a Japanese salaryman who gained a reputation for having a ruthlessly utilitarian and career-minded personality. He died in a subway after being pushed in front of a train by a man he fired, after which he meets God. As an atheist, he denies God's existence and rather dubs him Being X. The two get into an argument about faith and modern humans which ends up with God punishing the protagonist by having him reborn in a world that was in dire straits, had less technological development and overall was less grounded in science. The opposite of these three points were used by the protagonist's argument to explain why modern men no longer need God.
The protagonist is reborn in an alternate reality of 1913, as an orphan girl named Tanya. Spending the first years of her life in a nunnery, her outlook for a good life initially looked slim. Worse, she's living in the Empire (equivalent of Imperial Germany), one of the nations that is fighting in World War I (or their alternate equivalent of it). Luckily to her, Tanya has exceptional magic potential, a rare talent sought after in the Empire. After she's discovered to have magical abilities, people quickly expected her to be conscripted into the Empire's military once she reaches an appropriate age.
Tanya however thinks ahead of this, and she volunteers to join the military at the age of 8. Her reasoning was that the Army was the only institution of the Empire where women are treated equal to men. She intends to rise in ranks and then live a comfortable life in the back lines away from danger, both for her sake and in order to spite "Being X." Yet even though Tanya is successful at impressing the leadership it backfires as her talents make her a necessary asset on the front lines. She's heartless, selfish, amoral and terrifyingly ruthless. Yet at the time of the bloodiest war of this world, she might be described as the "ideal soldier." On the outset Tanya is viewed by her squad mates as either a patriotic hero or a bloodthirsty monster.
