Legion Saga X - Episode One: The Children of Prophecy

So, with the change to a much larger cast in Legion Saga, I've expanded the number of available characters to select for your Support Character (the former 'Fifth Slot') from 4 to 7. I also have more balance done with the support abilities and am now ready to reveal all 7 of the support abilities (if not the characters themselves).

As revealed previously, Pavan provides the support ability Rally, which gives a 5% chance to bring back one of your characters that have been reduced to 0 HP with 10% of their maximum hit points. He is automatically recruited during the course of the game and, if you're not going out of your way to find characters, will most likely be the only support character you come across.

The next potential character you might find is the nurse, Dawn. If you bring her the medical supplies she asks for, she'll provide you with the Cleansing support ability. At the end of each round of combat, Dawn will automatically remove all status effects from your characters (the exact balancing on this I'm still working out - perhaps there should only be a chance of this?).

Next, one of the original characters in the game, Shifter, has had his recruitment method altered and turned into a support character. While in your party, he'll provide the Camouflage ability, which will reduce the amount of encounters you run across.

Another of the original characters in the game, Leo, has had his recruitment method altered as well and will now provide services above and beyond his bank services - while brought along as a support character, he'll provide the With Interest! support ability, earning you extra Canu from battles.

Next available will be the Chef character, who will provide the Cook support ability, which will heal your characters for a small amount of health each turn, effectively giving you a permanent regeneration ability.

By completing a completely optional sidequest late in the game, you'll find yet another support character that will provide the Training Day support ability - at the end of combats with him in your support slot, you'll receive additional experience points, allowing you to level up faster.

And last, but certainly far from least, is the dangerous criminal Deepe. Hailing from the far off country of Harbrynd, enslaved by his own people, he escaped, only to be captured in Veramonde by his jailors. On their return, a storm drives their ship ashore and Deepe sees his chance, attempting to kill his captors and flee. Should you interfere, and I won't say exactly which version of interference will net you a recruitment, you'll find Deepe able to provide the Beacon support ability. If you're willing to bring this dangerous criminal along with you, you'll find yourself fighting off swarms of enemies as your encounter rate will increase.

So - who will you bring along with you?
