In keeping with tradition in the ''Dragon Quest'' series, the hero does not have the ability to speak in the game because he is the personification of the player. He only communicates through prompts of yes and no. However, he is generally liked by the people of Pilchard Bay and Estard. He is somewhat of a late sleeper, much to his mother's consternation. He also has a problem refusing people's requests and is constantly bullied into doing stuff by Maribel or his uncle [[Pike]]. | |||

The Hero is very flexible in every category. He can equip most of the weapons and armors in the game. His statistics are above average which makes him very suited to be molded into whatever role the player would like. Players should make sure to have the Hero learn three intermediate classes so that the [[Hero (Class)|Hero Class]] is available as its move set are some of the best skills/spells to learn. It is also advisable to use the seeds that are found in-game on the Hero as he is the only character that stays with the player from beginning to end. | The Hero is very flexible in every category.

*The Hero's default name Auster in the 3DS version is potentially a pun on "oyster", which compliments his mother's name, [[Pearl]]. This also fits into the naming conventions of the rest of his family, which all relate to fish or sea creatures. | |||
*The Hero also appeared in the crossover game ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]'' for the PlayStation 2. | |||
*According to a woman in Pilchard Bay, the Hero was born four months premature, with no health issues. This is the player's first hint of his unusual origins. | |||
