Line 11:
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: You are referred to by your name a handful of times. For the most part, you are referred to as "Hero", "Prince of Shapeir", and "Paladin" (if you are that class).
* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]: The core classes, but since points are given at the beginning to help build the character, he can have some cross-class skills.
** [[Magic Knight]]: Giving Magic to a non-Wizard allows this, as does being a Wizard (the first spell a Magic-User learns in the first game is Zap, a spell to assist in close combat). A Paladin gets a few spells, but they use Stamina, and aren't considered magic.▼
** [[Lovable Rogue]]
* [[Silent Protagonist]]: Not literally, as the character is able to communicate with others, but the Hero will almost never say anything directly, instead having the gist of his speech relayed by the narrator. There are several exceptions, in the first two games. Clicking the mouth on him in the VGA remake in QFG1 will yield "Overworked... underpaid... no control over my life". QFG2 has him talking to Aziza when talking about Julanar, with "Yes ma'am", "Only the facts ma'am", and "What's a pomegranate?". The fanmade VGA remake adds him babytalking to Simba, complete with a facial portrait. He shuts you up pretty good.▼
* [[The Hero]]: It's in the job description. The whole series is about the Hero becoming more and more heroic over time.
▲
* [[Mighty Whitey]]: In the third game. Your character will pick up spear throwing and wrestling on the wooden bridge of the Simbani. Within a week or so of training he'll be able to defeat Simbani warriors who trained at this all their lives. Can be considered [[Justified Trope|Justified]] since he's a skilled adventurer who's had to do more than his fair share of throwing and balancing in the past

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Dude went from fighting bandits aided by magicians to fighting [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldrich Abominations]].
** Culminates in the final game, when the [[Big Bad]] of the game, {{spoiler|the Dragon of Doom}}, is outright stated to be unkillable, and can only be sealed. But the hero is so badass at this point that he can ''safely'' ignore that and kill it.
Line 39:
* {{spoiler|[[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: She sacrificed her life to banish the Dark One from Mordavia and was only partially successful.}}
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: She has devoted her life to protecting life, leaving peaceful glades in her wake where no creature can harm another.
* [[The Ghost]]: For the first three games.▼
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Half-elf, half human.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: Surprisingly, one can learn in the fifth game that she has an inferiority complex due to the passive nature of her magic. She feels that, despite all her power, all she can do is create her gardens.}}
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]]
* [[Sealed Good in a Can]]
▲* [[The Ghost]]: For the first three games.
'''Rakeesh Sah Tarna'''
Line 55:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Cool Sword]]: Soulforge, which is also a...
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]]: A poison sting from a demon left him with one bad leg.
* [[Happily Married]]
* [[Ho Yay]]: In Universe, You can offer him the engagement ring in game 5; he'll actually consider it, but he's married
* [[Knight Errant]]
