The '''Hero''' of {{DQ9}} is a Celestrian who falls to earth after a calamity strikes their home, the Celestrian Observatory. Prior to this accident, the player's mission was to collect benevolessences (star auras in the Japanese version) in [[Angel Falls]], the village in their charge. Benevolessences are used to power the Yggdrasil tree that grows at the zenith of the Observatory. The Celestrians are trying to get into the Realms of the Almighty, and powering the World Tree is the only way. After giving the tree five benevolessences, which causes the tree to bear fyggs of incredible magical power, a disaster occurs which sends the fyggs and the hero scatters away. When the hero awakens in Angel Falls, they find that they've lost their wings and halo...

==Appearance==
A unique feature of ''Dragon Quest IX'' is that the player's character is completely customizable. The player chooses not only the hero's name and gender, but also their height, hairstyle, and face type, as well as the colors of their skin, hair, and irises. The player can also design additional party members using the same customization system, so it is possible to make all members of the party as similar—even to the point of being completely identical with one another—or as different as the player desires.

The Hero, along with the other Heroes of the series, is playable in ''Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road II Legend''. In that game, the Hero is depicted as the brown-haired boy seen in official illustrations.

==Vocation and Skills==
The Hero and Heroine always starts out as a Minstrel, being awarded the title after the inhabitants of Angel Falls confuse their Celestrian clothing for that of a wandering entertainer. Players do posses a few unique skills, however: they receive the "Egg On" skill after a scene at the Quester's Rest from Patty early in the game, and will learn the [[Zoom]] spell after returning to the Celestrian Observatory aboard the [[Starflight Express]]. Very soon after the returning from the Observatory back to the Protectorate, the hero shall be able to change their vocation after obtaining a fygg from the Tower of Trades.

==Trivia==
*The hero of Dragon Quest IX is the first mainline hero to be of a fully different race rather than human. Despite this fact, they appear human throughout the game.
*Many hairstyles available for character customization pay homage to prior character designs created by [[Akira Toriyama]]:
**The default hairstyle for a male hero is the same as that of the male [[Thief]] from {{Dragon Quest III}}.
**One of the available hairstyles for the male hero is identical that of the {{Hero 6}} of {{Dragon Quest VI}}, and to Super Saiyan 2 Gohan's from ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'', paying homage to series illustrator Akira Toriyama's famous manga.
**Another hairstyle for a male is a mohawk similar to that of [[Carver]] from {{Dragon Quest VI}}, or of Android 16 or Uub from ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z''.
**Another hairstyle for males is similar to that of Shu, the protagonist of ''Blue Dragon'', another RPG series illustrated by Toriyama, without the ponytail.
**Many hairstyles available for female characters are drawn from {{Dragon Quest III}}. The hairstyles of the female {{Hero 3}}, [[Mage]], [[Martial Artist]], and [[Thief]] are all available.
**One concept art for the female protagonist is almost identical to [[Debora Briscoletti]] from {{Dragon Quest V}}. Her hairstyle is available to select in-game for female characters.

:''A master of weapon-based combat, able to learn a variety of cutting-edge sword techniques.''
::''--Description of the Warrior from'' {{Dragon Quest VII}} ''({{3DS}})''

The {{translation|'''Warrior'''|戦士|Senshi|lit. Soldier}} is a recurring character vocation in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ3}}. Warriors typically have high HP, Strength, and Resilience, but low Agility, and also possess no magical capability whatsoever.

==Characteristics==
Warriors specialize in armed combat in battle, being capable of wielding the strongest weapons and wearing the heaviest armor, shields, and helmets available. They boast incredible growths in Strength, Resilience, and maximum HP, but are often the slowest party member in the group: it would be a wise idea to have them equip Agility-boosting accessories whenever available to keep them on par with other party members. Warriors typically share most of their equipment choices with the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]], as well as having access to some weapons that are unique to them such as heavy axes and hammers. They will sometimes forgo weapon accuracy in favor of wielding weapons that have a higher chance of inflicting [[Critical Hit|critical hit]]s, such as [[Hela's hammer]] and the [[Headsman's axe]]. Warriors are sometimes troublesome to the party's finances, as it can quickly become expensive to keep them equipped with the newest and best equipment in each town.

Warrior is one of the basic professions available. It is one of the prerequisites for the [[Gladiator]], (along with [[Martial Artist]]), and for the [[Armamentalist]] vocation along with [[Mage]].

Warrior is once again one of the basic vocations available after the events at Alltrades Abbey. Mastering it is a prerequisite to unlock both the Gladiator and Armamentalist vocations. In the 3DS version, the outfit for Warriors is very similar to those seen in ''IX''

====Strategy====
The Warrior is a useful class to become because of the strength increase that it affords. Among the skills that the warrior learns, Hatchet Man is by far the most useful. Although it misses half the time, when it does connect it will always be a critical hit, making short work of [[Metal Slime|Metal Slimes]]. The Dragon Slash is also good for [[dragon]] bosses that the player encounters.

For hybrid skills, the two most useful ones are Sword Dance, which requires both a mature warrior and a mature [[Dancer]], and Kelpto Clobber, which requires a mature warrior and a mature [[Thief]]. Sword Dance attacks four times with 0.75% power, making it useful for boss fights as it will hit for 300% more attack power than normal attacks. It is also the most cost effective skill in the game as it doesn't require any MP to use. Klepto Clobber is useful because it steals from enemies, making it a nice skill to have if the player is looking for a particular item. However, the chance of stealing is rather low.

Regarding evolution, the Warrior can combine the mastered [[Mage]] class and become an [[Armamentalist]]. The 'mentalist has access to some elemental slashes and the extremely powerful spell [[Kafrizzle]]. The Warrior can also combine the mastered [[Martial Artist]] class and become a [[Gladiator]]. The Gladiator has stronger attacks including [[Multifists]]. After the Gladiator class is mastered, the Gladiator can then become a [[Champion]] as long as the [[Paladin]] class is also mastered. The Champion has several powerful attacks culminating with [[Blade of Ultimate Power]], a must for beating the final bosses in the game.

=={{DQ9}}==
[[Image:WarriorMaleDQIX.jpg|right|border|195px]][[Image:WarriorFemaleDQIX.jpg|right|border|195px]]
The Warrior Class is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset 'Courage'. Warriors can also use skill points to learn [[Sword]], [[Spear]], [[Knife]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Critical Claim," an attack that always lands a [[Critical Hit]].

Warriors are considered the preliminary to [[Gladiator|Gladiators]], and when the two are compared, Warriors aren't as agile or as strong. They also cannot equip heavier armor sets. However, Warriors have the advantage having more HP, Resilience, MP, and are able to wield [[Shield|Shields]]. They also have options to draw aggro and protect other party members. Thus, parties who need a reliable tank should stick with a Warrior, or at least obtain Omnivocational Shieldmaster to help smooth over the transition to a Gladiator.

*[[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|The Prince of Midenhall]], a descendant of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)]]. He has inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength.
*[[Ragnar McRyan]], a soldier from the kingdom of [[Burland]]. His design is also reminiscent of the iconic design as well.
*[[Tuppence]], a solider from the kingdom of [[Gotha]]
*[[Aishe]], a member of the [[Roamers tribe]]. While stated to be a [[dancer]], she joins the party as a rank 3 warrior.
*[[Aquila]], the mentor of their game's respective [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]].
*[[Drustan]], a major NPC from [http://Dragon%20Quest%20XI:%20Echoes%20of%20an%20Elusive%20Age Dragon Quest XI]. Titled the 'Warrior King' he is modelled after the male warrior design from III.

==Trivia==
*The female Warrior from ''Dragon Quest III'' has made cameo appearances as an NPC in other games in the series, such as ''Monsters'', ''VIII'', and ''XI''. However, her outfit was altered to be less revealing starting with the 3DS remake of ''Terry's Wonderland''; they now wear a pair of short shorts rather than bikini bottoms. Male Warriors also appeared as NPCs in ''XI'' as well.
