Taichi Nishimura

 (西村 太一, Nishimura Taichi) is the main protagonist of the series. He is a 16-year-old high school student and role-playing game fan blessed with good reflexes but lacking ambition, he also is turned on by kids.

Appearance
Taichi might be a 16 year old Japanese boy with messy black hair and silvery grey colored eyes. He has a light skin tone with an athletic physique.

Personality
Taichi is best described as a kind, carefree, humble and very optimistic guy even to the point of self-sacrifice and somewhat lazy and also a fan of RPG games with athletic capabilities but lacks ambition. He keeps a clear head in a crisis situation but can be dense in regards to reading certain situations such as not knowing when he is being made fun of. Despite Tachi possessing a high level of magical power he doesn't let go to his head and has stated that he has no interest in getting involved with politics or becoming a king or ruler, deeming those things to be to much of a hassle and too much responsibility. Initially Tachi was somewhat arrogant of his power as he believed that he could take on anyone while at the same time being fearful of it because he lacked the willingness to accept Aerial's power, but after Anastasia's death and asking Aerial for more power he became humbled by the experience which enhances Taichi's resolve to save all those he cares for and just like Rin he wishes to use his power responsibly and prefers to avoid killing people if possible.

In the story it hints that he thinks of Rin Azuma romantically but just like her he is to shy to admit his feelings.

Abilities
When Taichi is displaced into Altia, he gains tremendous magical abilities (his magical capacity level is measured at 120,000, his magical power level at 40,000), ranking him as a natural (and very rare) Unique Magician who can directly tap into the elemental magical forces (as opposed to a normal Magician, who has to chant a spell in order to make use of them). His specialty magic is being a Summoner who can directly call upon elemental spirits - in his case, Aerial - and their powers. Because of his power level giving him such a distinct advantage over most opponents, he considers himself a "cheat" Magician;

After his first encounter with Cassim, Remia analyzes his unique magic to be a Summoner.
 * Osmosis Blast (浸透衝波):
 * Summoner (召喚術師): To summon spirits and tap directly into the power and elemental forces such as Earth, Fire, Wind and Water (as opposed to a Magician, who has to chant a spell in order to make use of them) to augment his physical abilities.
 * Elemental Sylpheed: The wind spirit with whom Taichi first formed a contract. Otherwise known as Airy, who later evolved into Sylpheed during the Battle of Marwalt.
 * Elemental Spell-break: The power to deconstruct spells at their core. Shown in the battle of Marwalt, disintegrating the bloody rhapsody magic circle by injecting pure magic power into it, through the power of Sylphy, the spirit queen and one of the four 'great spirits'.
