Summary
Ringabel is a playable character in Bravely Default and a non-playable character in Bravely Second: End Layer. He is an amnesiac orphaned during his early childhood, formerly serving the Lee family as Alternis Dim - a member of Eternia's Counsil of Six and an officer in the forces of the Duchy of Eternia - bearing a down-to-earth, serious, and loyal general demeanor. He used to and currently does carry around his journal, D's Journal. After he lost his memories to a series of events, however, Ringabel became frivolous, as well as a romantic ladies' man, seducing women left and right with his charm. Despite his flirtatious demeanor, he is genuine in his desire to find his one, special angel (which he indeed had, developing mutual feelings for Edea Lee, whom he also refered to as such) and from time to time serves as a counselor for some of the other characters, providing them with some rare words of wisdom that show an unusually cautious and wise side to his otherwise frolicsome personality - seemingly a hint of his original self. Eventually, well after he joins the main group, Ringabel learns of his past as Alternis Dim bit-by-bit, his personality returning to that of his original, becoming slightly more serious and less flirty than usual.

Attack Potency: Continent level (Fought Lester DeRosso, whose battle with Sage Yulyana leveled mountain ranges and split an entire continent, alongside the rest of his party multiple times throughout the story) | At least Multiverse level, likely Multiverse level+ (Defeated Airy. Greatly contributed to the defeat of Ouroboros, who can casually devour an infinite number of realities and was going to devour countless versions of Luxendarc which Airy linked together over a myriad of time loops, and recreate the multiverse in his own image) | High Multiverse level+ (Comparable to the end-game party that fought Providence -- an all-seeing, 4th-wall-breaking entity that resides in the Celestial Realm, which was heavily implied to be one that represents the Real World, transcending space-time and viewing Luxendarc as mere fiction. Providence was also going to erase the game's save files, protected by the player themselves)

Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can dodge cloud-to-ground lightning. Comparable to Magnolia Arch) | Infinite (Comparable to Ouroboros and the rest of his party) | Immeasurable (Comparable to Providence, who exists above and beyond space-time, as well as the end-game party)

Striking Strength: Continent Class | At least Multiversal, likely Multiversal+ | High Multiversal+

Stamina: High (Can last through gauntlets of combat. Defeated Airy alongside his friends almost right before fighting Ouroboros)

Range: Standard Melee Range. Extended Melee Range via weaponry. Far Higher via Magic.

Standard Equipment: Varies depending on his job; Generally depicted in the Freelancer, Thief, Black Mage, and Vampire roles

Intelligence: Gifted (Ringabel is an amnesiac at the start of the story, being completely unable to remember his past prior to the game's events. Nevertheless, he has retained a good amount of muscle memory, allowing him to pilot most vehicles with ease and wield most weapons with only a brief amount of practice. He specializes in high-speed combat, possessing the highest dexterity out of the entire party, but is a particularly good swordsman due to his previous vocation as a Dark Knight. His skills only further develop during his journey, allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Ouroboros by the end of the story. However, he is rather lecherous and his flights of fantasy can get the better of him from time to time)

Weaknesses: Is fairly perverted, which can be distracting for him. Many of his skills and magic spells are reliant on his limited supply of MP. Bravely Second is reliant on SP, which cannot be refilled during battle.

 * Qigong Wave: Another martial arts technique that allows Ringabel to fire a burst of Chi energy that bypasses enemy guards.
 * Scale Strip: Uses a special physical attack that strips away his opponent's defenses and armor.

Other Attacks
Key: Base | End of Bravely Default | End of Bravely Second: End Layer
 * Bravely Second: Ringabel stops time all around him for short period of time, leaving him and his allies free to attack as they please. This bypasses resistance to time stop and allows Ringabel to deal far more damage than he would be able to normally.
 * Summon Friend: Ringabel summons an alternate version of himself or one of his allies into the fray to help him in combat.
