He also is very good in magic, although his spells mainly revolve aroung healing magic. He can learn Heal, Squelch, Woosh, Healmore, Peep, Evac, Swoosh, Drain magic, Fullheal, Kaswoosh, and Hocus-pocus, a spell that has random effect ranging from nothing to shooting stars leaving every enemy and party member with one HP. He can equip the best equipment in the game, the metal king sword, helm, armor, and shield.
It is worth noting that the naming of the Hero has some bearing in-game, as the start will have his [[Pankraz|father]] recommending the name Madason, but will quickly agree with what the mother says which is also the name chosen by the player. Interestingly, if the player chooses the name Madason then the father will recommend [[Erdrick]] instead.

The Hero is the main character of Dragon Quest V. Like all protagonists in the Dragon Quest series, the player provides him with a name of his or her choosing.

It is worth noting that the naming of the Hero has some bearing in-game, as the start will have his father recommending the name Madason, but will quickly agree with what the mother says which is also the name chosen by the player. Interestingly, if the player chooses the name Madason then the father will recommend Erdrick instead.

Appearance and Personality

The Hero of Dragon Quest V is regularly depicted in a purple turban and shroud with a white tunic underneath, an oaken staff held in his right arm.

Story

Unlike a majority of Dragon Quest games, which focus on the chosen one destined to strike down evil, Dragon Quest V tells the story of the individual who guides and aids this chosen one, making for a unique experience. The player also has the choice of having the Hero marry (and later have children with) either Bianca or Nera, or, in the DS remake, Deborah. Because of this setup, the game follows the Hero over a period of 20 years, another unique element.

Equipment and Stats

He can equip certain swords, boomerangs, whips, staffs, flails, and even the metal king series of equipment. His HP growth is very high, likely to balance out his low defense stat, with all other attributes varying in growth throughout the game.

Abilities

The hero is a very versatile fighter. He also is very good in magic, although, as is the case with most heroes, his spells mainly revolve around healing and support. He can learn Heal, Squelch, Woosh, Healmore, Peep, Evac, Swoosh, Drain magic, Fullheal, Kaswoosh, and Hocus-Pocus.
