Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the [[ Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] soon after they meet.

A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

After a lengthy discourse with madam Luca Luminesta, joining with [[Ashlynn]], fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of [[Nevan]], Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of [[Murdaw's Keep]].

Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist.

"My cockles are pretty toasty, too. Wait, what are cockles again?"

—Carver, in Port Haven (DS, Cell phone)

Carver is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation. He is a travelling martial artist and the first to join the Hero on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the Somnian military in the war against Murdaw before discovering the mystery of the Lower and Upper Worlds.

Appearance and personality

Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to the ones worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.

Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the Hero soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

"Hey, I know about bad dreams. Once, I dreamt that my head turned into an apple pie...

Everyone was tryin' to eat me, and all that came out of my mouth when I screamed was apple sauce. So, yeah..."

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

On April 29, 2011, Carver began appearing as a special guest at the Quester's Rest in Stornway. This could be downloaded through the DQVC using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the Hero different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.

A special Accolade is earned if the Hero wears all of the parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male Hero to earn this Accolade as certain parts of Carver's costume are male-only.

Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End

Carver appears as one of the playable characters in the game. He uses Gauntlets as his weapon of choice and speaks with an Irish accent.

Etymology

Carver is an occupational English name that was originally used as a surname until roughly the 1890's, in which it began to see use in America as a men's given name.

Trivia

  • Carver's syntax is significantly different between IX, where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to Yangus, and VI were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by Plus-Alpha and 8-4 ltd, respectively.
  • Carver bears a strong resemblance to the Southern Daikaioshin from Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. Appropriately, said character is the physically strongest of his group.
