I know I'm too late, but as someone who picked Olberic first, I would say Cyrus, Therion, and Tressa are the most convenient first characters.

Tressa for her ability to collect money from enemies, buy items from npcs, find money at periodic intervals while traveling, and being a generally well balanced character.

Therion for his ability to unlock the locked purple chests and steal items from npcs and enemies.

Cyrus for his ability to scrutinize npcs for hidden items and information, his passive ability to reveal enemy weaknesses, and his powerful multi-hit elemental spells.

I still like Olberic though.
