Editing Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) (section)

==Appearance and Personality==
Due to his aforementioned status as a silent protagonist, very little can be said of the man's character that isn't decided by the player. That being said, the youth has demonstrated a remarkably humane nature in certain cutscenes. This is most apparent in the flashback to his meeting with Yangus, who accidentally broke the rope bridge that he was blocking while attempting to extort money from King Trode. Instead of letting the bellicose bandit fall to his death, the former guard pulled him to safety despite Trode's considerable umbrage.

The Hero dresses very casually, wearing a saffron overcoat with a blue tunic, and plain grey trousers with brown boots, along with a canvas satchel worn over his shoulder. He wears his shaggy dark brown hair underneath a red bandana. During flashback scenes that take place at Trodain, the Hero is dressed in the uniform of a castle guard. It consists of an oversized, long-sleeved dark green tunic with a metal breastplate and shoulder pads worn over it, a leather belt, a simple metal helmet, and the same trousers and boots as his normal outfit. He is also the second Hero in the series whose outfit can be changed in the game if he wears certain pieces of equipment.
