Support characters are non-player characters that can be recruited to join Maximilian's and Monica's party in Dark Chronicle. They do not take a combat role, but instead provide various means of support, such as selling you specific items, granting you specific items for free, opening locked doors or treasure chests, making the Map and Magic Crystal ability available by default, boosting various weapon stats, restoring health, and several more. Characters that offer free items have 'skill points' with which you can 'buy' an item for free, these refresh naturally over time,

Only one character can join the party at a time, but the remainder can still be accessed at either the Blackstone One or Ixion once they have been recruited, or their new house once they have been rehomed. Recruitment involves talking to them to see what they want from Max, which usually comes down to a specific challenge, requested item, photograph or simply progressing the story. Each character's request and a small background note is written down by Max in his notebook.

Recruited characters often have to be moved into a home through the Georama system, as to ensure 100% completion of each location. Characters often have specific requests as to the design of their house, or the kind of building they want, before they will move in. Their descendants can then often be met in the future, further progressing the story.
