}}'''Primal''', also known as {{nihongo|'''SAINTS: Divine Demons'''|セインツ 聖なる魔物|Saints Seinaru Mamono}} in Japan, is a fantasy action-adventure video game released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2 system, and re-released digitally for the PlayStation 3 as part of the ''PS2 Classics'' program on February 28, 2012. ''Primal'' was later remastered, given PSN trophy support, and released on the Playstation 4 via PSN on 31 May 2016.

The battle to save the outside world starts within as [[Jennifer Tate]], a young woman who faces the demons of alternate planes and discovers her own supernatural origin. In Oblivion, there are four distinct realms, each occupied by a demon race. Two are aligned with order and two with chaos. But the scales of balance are overthrown, and chaos is engulfing Oblivion.

Jen Tate was attacked when leaving a nightclub with her boyfriend [[Lewis]], singer in the club's industrial music band. The attack leaves Jen and Lewis unconscious in a hospital. A short, dark figure approaches Jen's bed and raises her spirit up out of her body. The figure reveals itself to be a small stone gargoyle named [[Scree]]. Scree explains that Jen's body is close to death and she must come with him to the Nexus.

Through the journey, Jen and her gargoyle companion [[Scree]] will fight through four elemental realms in order to restore balance between Order and Chaos. Along the way Jen gains the ability to transform into four demonic forms.

* '''[[Jen]]''' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Leick Hudson Leick]), the main playable character, who grew up in a string of foster homes. She works as a waitress so she can go to college. She has a short temper and a sharp tongue, but is compassionate as well. Throughout the game, she obtains the ability to transform herself into various demon forms, therefore making her an exceptional fighter and very skilful in all categories.

* '''[[Scree]]''' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Katsulas Andreas Katsulas]), the secondary playable character. A diminutive gargoyle who guides Jen through her journey. Although he is unable to fight, he has the ability to project his spirit into other gargoyles in order to take control of them. He is often annoyed by Jen's light-hearted insults about his size and form; however, he hides a painful secret.

* '''[[Arella]]''' (Niki Felstead), the embodiment of Order, Arella strives to uphold the balance, summoning Jen as her champion to battle against Abaddon, therefore making her the enemy of ''Abbadon''

 

* '''[[Chronos]]''', part of a machine known as the Oracle. He helps maintain balance in Oblivion by equally dividing energy between Arella and Abaddon.

* '''[[Abaddon]]''' (Colin McFarlane), the embodiment of Chaos. An evil being, he is supported by the demons of Aetha and Volca realms.

* '''[[Belahzur]]''', Abaddon's right-hand man, General of the Chaos armies and Abdizur's arch-enemy.

* '''[[Lewis]]''' (Eric Loren), Jen's boyfriend, who is the lead singer in an upcoming rock band. Lewis is kidnapped in the beginning of the game and is revealed to have been brainwashed into acting as Abaddon's champion.

 

The player control either [[Jennifer Tate]], the snarky Goth girl, or [[Scree]], the possessed gargoyle statue. Control can be instantaneously switched between Jen and Scree at any time, and when the player control a character, the other one is operated by AI, performing various functions depending upon the situation.
