Anyway, suprisingly, I find myself agreeing with My_car_is_faster_than_you on most of those counts.
I said besides Terra. And besides her, they're mostly normal people that just had bad things happen to them. Cyan was a normal soldier/knight in his kingdom, which got poisoned, which caused him to raise arms against the empire. This doesn't change the fact that he's normal, just that something abnormal happened to him. Other people like Edgar are in positions of power and fight back. That's far more believable, that a king would be leading his kingdom against an evil empire, than some random Joe from the street who has no power or influence. But MOST of the characters are normal people, some had bad things happen to them.
