"Wheesht! A wee nyaff like you cannae stop the mighty Ragnar McRyan!"
—Trouncing the guards at the Palais de Léon (DS, cell phone)
Ragnar McRyan is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. A soldier of the Kingdom of Burland, Ragnar is sent to investigate a case of missing children in the village of Strathbaile in the first chapter.
Discounting the prologue, and the fact that all main characters are present in Chapter Six, Ragnar is the only member of the chosen to make cameo appearances in multiple chapters.
Appearance and personality
Ragnar is a very physically fit man with a lean build that belies his immense strength. He has tanned skin and dark blue hair, with a stern appearance and a large bushy mustache. He wears a pink breastplate with a long red cape attached and a leather skirt called a pteruges over a blue undershirt and shorts. His helmet is pink with a red plume and he wears pink gloves and pink shin guards over a black pair of boots. Ragnar also wears a metal armband on his right bicep, two metal bands on his thighs, and a single metal pauldron on his left shoulder. His armour is reminiscent of the kind used in Ancient Rome, particularly his Legionnaire helmet.
Naturally, he is far more concerned with improving his skill at arms than with scholarly pursuits. He is quite a compassionate person, as evidenced by his righteous fury against the demonic kidnappers and willingness to befriend an innocent monster when most would slay it. Ragnar's fellow soldiers look up to him with admiration and respect, and even the king places the utmost confidence in him. Though Ragnar takes great pride in his strength and skill, he is a humble man at heart and places the safety of others above all else.
Starting with the localization of the DS remake, Ragnar speaks with a Scottish accent.
Appearances
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
Base stats
When applied to the Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation class system, Ragnar is a warrior. He has immense strength and resilience, but low agility. Even his character design is a variation of the warrior, which was traditionally in pink armour. He can don nearly all available armour and use most weapons, and should be on the frontlines of battle at all times--his endurance growth is so great it is advisable to set him at the head of the party until the Hero obtains the zenithian equipment.
