'''Ragnar McRyan''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ4}}. He is the first of the Chosen that the player controls in the original version of {{DQ4}} (second in the remakes as the prologue lets you play as the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]]). A soldier of the Kingdom of [[Burland]], Ragnar is sent to investigate a case of missing children in the village of [[Strathbaile]].

==Appearance and Personality==
==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.

When applied to the {{DQ3}} 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.
