S Tier Earth Characters
No magical characters in here yet, but there will be once the cutoff date is expanded past the end of October. Maria gets a chance to join the crew!
For now it’s a Knight party. It’s more crowded than it looks though. Bartz and The Ninjas exist in this space and in many others and shouldn’t be overlooked.
