Each character gets a bonus based on their level from Suikoden 1, but only if their level is 60 or higher.
The calculation is:
Bonus = (Suikoden_1_Lv - 50) / 10 * Suikoden_2_Default_Lv / 10
This is all integer division, so discard any fractional amounts. No rounding up ever occurs.
Each character that reached level 99 in Suikoden 1 will also receive a flat bonus of 5 additional levels.

The Suikoden 1 <Hero> (McDohl) can transfer pretty much any head and armor item he has equipped.
If Humphrey or Pesmerga have Windspun Armor equipped in the Suikoden 1 save, it will be equipped to them in Suikoden 2. Due to the fact that Pesmergas has a fixed Dragon Armor in Suikoden 1, this can't be done for him by legal means.
When nothing is equipped in the respective slot, the default items will be used as starting equipment. The same goes for any items not listed.

In the game code is a full set of a rune transfer table. However, due to some errors they made the whole rune transfer process does not work. It is unknow whether they didn't notice before releasing the game or this was left undone on prupose.
The following list is not in use in any known version of Suikoden II. It is shown here only to display how the rune transfer was most likely meant to be!
