Amiti

Amiti (ハルマーニ Harumani) is a playable Mercury Adept in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Amiti first made an appearance in 1:44 of this video that demonstrates Psynergy, released mid-September 2010. In it, he uses Mercury Psynergy against a Chimera. Before the game's release, videos showed him with a high HP statistic, leading people to believe he would be a warrior-style Adept analogous to Piers in terms of statistics. However, that is solely because his base class has a very high HP modifier - in all other respects, including his equipment choices and class choices, he is a Mage-style Adept. Before the release of the game, he was widely thought to be aged 16 or 17, however, due to certain text in the game stating Ayuthay began to flourish 20 years ago, which was about the time Amiti was concieved, it is safe to assume Amiti is 19 or 20 years old.

As a playable character
Amiti joins the party permanently after Matthew and his friends support the quest for the reversal of the Alchemy Well, needed for entering the Temple of Barai and obtaining the Insight Glass. He is the sole character to the Aqua Squire class series which features a similar psynergy line-up like Piers' Mariner class series. Upon joining the protagonists, he comes equipped with a Battle Rapier (Unleashes mastered), some Adept's Clothes, a Leda's Bracelet, a Silver Circlet and 2 Nuts.

Statistical comparison
Statistically, Amiti can be considered a clone of Piers. Both share high HP and the same psynergy line-up. They are also the sole members of their unique Mercury class in The Lost Age and Dark Dawn. The notable difference there, however, is that Amiti's choice of equipment consists from that of the most mage-styled Adepts, allowing him to equip Light Blades, Bows, a limited selection of Staves, Circlets and Robes.

Classes
Amiti has the following classes available to him:


 * Mono-Elemental: Aqua Squire class series
 * Dual-Elemental (Full): Hermit class series, Pilgrim (Mercury) class series, Seer (Mercury) class series
 * Dual-Elemental (Partial): Swordsman (Mars) class series, Swordsman (Venus) class series
 * Tri-Elemental (Full): Ranger class series, White Mage class series, Medium class series
 * Tri-Elemental (Partial): Dragoon class series

Trivia

 * Amiti's somewhat androgynous appearance has caused confusion about his gender. Notably, the official Australian Golden Sun: Dark Dawn website seen here currently lists Amiti as a female.


 * In Dark Dawn, Amiti's father is described as a powerful Mercury Adept who kept his identity secret, and Tret identifies Amiti as related to to Mia. For a time after the game's release, these highly implied that Alex is his father; on December 13, 2010, an officially released character tree confirmed this.
