Editing Hero (Dragon Quest XI) (section)

==Appearance and Personality==
He is a young man with round blue eyes and dirty blond chin-length hair in a bob cut. On his left hand, he bears a mysterious mark that has appeared since the day he was born. The mark glows when the Luminary is in danger. He wears a long, sleeveless brown and purple leather tunic over a black long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and tan geen leather boots. Around his waist, he wears a small bag the same colour, attached to a leather belt, that holds all his items. He carries a scabbard across his back; the one depicted in his character art is a [[Cobblestone sword]]. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.

Like the heroes before him, the Luminary is a silent protagonist. However, several different characters say various things that seem to acknowledge or imply a few personality traits. Like a handful of other heroes in the series, he seems to have a tendency to sleep in, which various party members will comment on. A mischievous streak is also acknowledged, as two flashbacks mention pranks that he played during his childhood. He is also kind-hearted and worries a lot about others. During the events of the second act, he is implied to have a more serious and grown-up demeanor, which carries over into the beginning of act three. Some yes/no options that the player is given do imply some sort of cheeky personality; however, it is mostly the dramatic reaction of the other characters that fuels this.

In many lines of [[Party Chat|party talk]] dialogue and even one or two cutscenes, the party members (namely, [[Erik]]) make comments about the Hero that seem to imply quite a few different personality traits the latter may have. Below are a few examples.
{{spoiler|start}}These are examples of Erik's party talk showcasing the Hero's personality:
* After horse racing in [[Gallopolis]] for the first time and returning to the racetrack, Erik asks teasingly if he wants to enter another horse race, saying it seemed like he'd become quite the fan.
* After [[Kainui]] tells the story of his late grandfather, [[Kainoa]], the Luminary is distressed about the prospect of telling [[Michelle]] that her spouse had died, especially with some of the party supporting telling her the truth and some of the party saying it was okay to lie.
**Of note, in Erik's party talk, the Luminary asks him what ''he'' would tell her.
**If the Luminary tells the truth, when the party helps the mermaid [[Michelle]] meet up with Kainui, Erik (in his party talk) notices that Luminary is worried about her being spotted by the angry fishermen. This worry is not shared by the others.
* In act two party talk, Erik says to the Hero, "You should stop worrying about other people just for once and think about what's best for you".
