*[[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]] — The Hero's official default name is "Auster"; as is traditional in the ''Dragon Quest'' series, the name is supplied by the player (however, he is called Arus in the official manga). The Hero is a lifelong native of the town of [[Pilchard Bay]] on Estard Island. He is good friends with Maribel, daughter of the mayor, and Kiefer, prince of Estard Castle. In particular, he has a fondness for going out on impromptu "adventures" with Kiefer. It is one such adventure that begins the story of the game. In terms of gameplay, the Hero is a well-rounded character who will do well in any vocation.

*[[Kiefer]] — Kiefer is a prince of [[Estard|Estard Island]], and the presumptive heir to the throne. Far from anticipating his elevation to kingship, however, Kiefer seems to resent his royal blood, and is a source of endless worry and frustration to his family and advisers. Kiefer, for his part, spends much of his time in search of excitement and adventure, and has found a kindred spirit in the Hero, whom he considers his closest friend. Kiefer is incredibly strong, with a high physical attack statistic and naturally high hit points. He is the most powerful character available early on in the game. On one trip to an ancient land, Kiefer falls in love, and remains behind. Upon returning to the present, the hero finds out that Kiefer has become a famous guardian of the [[Roamers]], and is the biological ancestor of almost an entire culture/continent. Kiefer is also the main character of the game ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart]]'' as a young boy.
