Van Fanal

A young prince from a second moon of Earth called Gaia. To become the King, Van is transported to Earth to slay a dragon, proving his right to rule. When a high school girl named Hitomi is taken back to Gaia with him accidentally, Van vows to return her to her home. Before he can fulfill his promise, his homeland is razed to the ground by the "evil" Zaibach empire.

  • Escaflowne

    The dragon of Dornkark's fears. Escaflowne is an Ispano Guymelf that was given to the King of Fanalia many centuries ago. Only by offering a Dragenergist with the King's blood smeared on it will empower the suit. When Van powers up the suit to fight Zaibach, he finds that the suit of armor holds more secrets than he bargained for.


    Strategy: Escaflowne is has really long recovery times, like most weapon users. The benefit of his insanely long range is that the enemy can almost never get close enough to use his slowness to their advantage. However, his specials are limited, giving him less variety in his attacks.

  • Merle

    A cat girl rescued by Van when she was more of a kitten girl. Merle is from a race of beings that has been almost lost to the world of Gaia. She is very much in love with Van and jealously guards him from any other female. Whenever she is given half a chance, she'll jump into Van's arms.
