Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V): Difference between revisions

|Voice Actor  = [[Konami Yoshida]] (''[[Dragon Quest V CD Theater|CD Theater]]'')<br>Reo Uchikawa (''[[Dragon Quest: Your Story|Your Story]]'', Japanese)<br>Hudson Loverro (''[[Dragon Quest: Your Story|Your Story]]'', English)

In English his default name is '''[[Parry]]'''. In Japanese his default names are '''Cooper''' (クーパー) on the {{SNES}} and '''Rex''' (レックス) on the [[Nintendo DS]]. In the ''[[Dragon Quest V CD Theater|CD Theater]]'' audio drama and official novelizations, his name is '''Timmy''' (ティミー). In {{Your Story}}, he is named '''Alus''' (アルス).

Parry was born along with his twin sister in the castle town of [[Gotha]] shortly before his father was crowned king. However, their mother [[Bianca Whitaker]]/[[Nera Briscoletti]]/[[Debora Briscoletti]] was abducted by monsters and their father went missing searching for her. His nursemaid's quick thinking and hiding the twins under their parents' bed was the only thing that saved them from being abducted along with their mother. Bereft of their parents, the siblings were raised by their remaining extended family and Sancho. Eight years later, he along with his sister and [[Sancho]] finally located their petrified father and restored him to life. With him recuperated, the twins journeyed with their father in search of their missing mother for another two years.

As it turns out, Parry was the legendary hero that his grandfather spent his final years searching for--a bitter irony. Thus, he was the only one able to wear the legendary [[Zenithian Equipment]] and was trained in swordsmanship with the Zenithian blade itself in Gotha. After rescuing their mother in [[Crocodilopolis]], he traveled with his father, mother, and sister into the underworld of [[Nadiria]] in search of his grandmother, [[Madalena]].

Parry can equip certain {{Sword}}s, {{Boomerang}}s, Axes, and Staves, and even the metal king equipment. However, being the legendary hero, he is able to wear the whole Zenithian set, each which provides powerful protection.

Parry is an outstanding multi-purpose character and his list of spells is among the best in the game with offensive, healing, revival, and support magic for nearly every situation. His HP is very high, likely to offset his poor resilience. Though his overall {{MP}} is low compared to his family and his strength growth rate is slower than his father's, he will nevertheless be a vital asset in every battle.

Parry makes a cameo in [[Reaper's Peak]] alongside his sister and Sancho in the {{Super Famicom}} Version, utilizing the {{NPC}} sprite for normal boys found in the game. In the {{DS}} and its later ports he appears with his proper sprite seen in the remake of ''V'' for the same handheld, and three versions of him appear to match the three potential brides: {{Bianca}}'s son is helping her run the inn, {{Nera}}'s son is having a picnic outside, and {{Debora}}'s son is in the basement of the mayor's home.

==={{Your Story}}===

Parry appears alongside Sancho, using the Stolos staff to restore his father as {{Madchen}} is not present in the film. Near the climax be battles Bishop Ladja alongside his father.

*According to Madchen, he has no sense of direction.

*Parry's hair style is the same as Son Gohan in his super saiyan form. [[Akira Toriyama]] was in the middle of drawing the Cell saga of his Dragon Ball manga when ''V'' was developed and released, and likely used the cameo as a hint towards the lad's capability.
