Ramza Beoulve
Ramza Beoulve, also known as Ramza Lugria, is the main protagonist in Final Fantasy Tactics. He is a member of the respected House Beoulve. Ramza's father, Barbaneth Beoulve, was a Knight Gallant of the Fifty Years' War. Ramza has one sister, Alma, whom he loves dearly and is close to. Ramza also has two half-brothers, General Zalbaag of the Order of the Northern Sky, and Dycedarg, who serves directly under Duke Larg.
Ramza has long blond hair tied in a low ponytail and brown eyes. As an Order of the Northern Sky squire he wears a set of armor over a blue long-sleeved tunic meant to signify his nobility as a Beoulve, and a white cape (though this is not shown on his in-game sprite).
After becoming a mercenary he cuts his hair and wears a dark purple, heavy armor plating on his torso, elbows and shoulders with two spikes on each shoulder protector. Underneath he wears a black leather turtle-neck that covers the wrists of his leather gloves over white gauntlets. He wears white, plated, long boots with two spikes on each knee protector over leather trousers. In the CGI cell-shaded scenes, he is depicted based on his official art.
In the final chapter Ramza's shoulders, elbows, forearms, hands, legs, and feet are plated in a cyan armor. The shoulder protectors have an oval hole on the inside of a thick, black fabric. His elbow protectors are worn outside of the black garment, along with his arm and hand protectors worn over leather gloves. The black fabric has an appliqué of a white bull's head on the chest. The legs are supported by a leather strapped girdle with a gold buckle holding groin and thigh suspenders, worn over white leather pants. The lower leg and feet protectors are worn over brown boots. This outfit is not seen in the end of the Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions remake where he retains his mercenary outfit from chapters 2 and 3.
Personality
Initially Ramza's motivation to fight and protect others is mainly to uphold his family name. His character profile states that "he turned out worst of the four siblings and is aware of it", and wishes to prove himself worthy of the house name.
After deciding to leave House Beoulve, Ramza becomes a mercenary working under Goffard Gaffgarion wishing to protect people from injustice, even claiming "he had no wish of changing the world for just a select few while others suffer". Ramza learns a name means nothing if injustice is used to uphold it, a belief he maintains even when the Church of Glabados brands him a heretic. In the second battle against Barich in Necrohol of Mullonde, Ramza proclaims a man without pride can never be free, becoming a hero who fights more for others than for himself.
The point of Ramza's character is to show the true reasons behind virtue; people who do "good" by manipulation of others are not really virtuous, and the true "good", expressed through justice, is shown by Ramza; false "good", expressed through manipulation with good intentions, is expressed by his childhood friend Delita Heiral. True heroic actions are rarely recognized, but are necessary regardless of the lack of rewards.
