Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen/Character creation

This is your avatar. At the beginning of the game you choose name and gender, then you have to answer a series of six questions to determine his/her attributes and initial army composition.

Destin Faroda
He is the leader of the Liberation Army, also known as the "Opinion Leader", and Destin the Valiant in the Episode VI. It should be noted that no default name exists for the Opinion Leader (except Lexar in the special hidden stage), rather he is given the name Destin in Episode VI (Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber). The name in the Japanese version translates to "Destined Forlord" which is a reference to Warren choosing Destin via "Destiny". As far as gameplay goes, he is the most crucial character to the game; if he dies, it's game over. Destin's own Charisma and Alignment ratings will also affect whether or not characters join the battalion, whether NPCs will hand over important items, and ultimately what ending the player receives upon beating the game. Destin also is deployed automatically and is the only unit that does not collect wages. There are four different unit types Destin can become (distinguished by different colors in the PS version), with one of the four being used again in Episode VI (Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber). In OB64 Destin serves as a mentor to Magnus Gallant, the main character, and can also be fought as the final boss of the game depending on which path Magnus takes. In Episode V though, Destin is for the most part a silent protagonist, only speaking directly to a few characters in the entire game (Posha, Tristan, Debonair, Endora and Rashidi). Little is known of Destin's past, or how he came to meet Warren.
 * Destined Forlord
 * Destin the Valiant

Europea Rheda
You could also have chosen a female gender in Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, however only Destin is recognized in the later games of the series. In Episode VI (Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber), there is a female leader with an unknown past and uncanny resemblance to the Female Opinion Leader. She is named Europea Rheda.
 * Europea the Astral Knight

Lexar Fireseal
At the beginning of a new game, if you name your hero "Fireseal", you will start a special stage, Dragon's Haven. There, your opinion leader bears the name Lexar, regardless of his/her gender.

Warren's tarots and questions
The table below summarizes some characteristics that depend on the initial Alignment attribute.

Warren asks you six questions, each related to a Tarot card. Finally, he lets you pick a Tarot card at random from the remaining ones. The six questions allow to determine the characteristics of the Lord, including his/her alignment. Furthermore, the initial Alignment determines the Lord's skills and the initial members of his/her combat unit.

The six questions are totally random, i.e. each answer does not affect which one will be the following Tarot card.

The following table lists all the possible questions and how the answers affect the Forlord's alignment.
