Final Fantasy Zero Design Diary: Intro Characters

So there's a thread in General RPG right now about Ivalice, where I posted (almost complete) stats for a level 10 Moogle Dragoon-Dancer.

I think I should post the stats for the characters from the Introductory Adventure.

Below are the first four. There's a total of 8, so that people can choose from amongst them. Here we have a red mage, a dragoon, a knight, and a moogle with a crossbow!

The quotes are chosen to help players get "into character." Because FFZ can be pretty character-focused, even pregens need a dose of personality. During the Adventure Path, these themes will be explored (to varying degrees depending upon your players' and your interest).
