Dragon Quest IX/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Pungeon Master]]: Chances are that if she's not speaking in [[Unusual Euphemism|Unusual Euphemisms]]s, she'll be punting frequently. She manages to give [[Persona 4|Teddie]] a run for his money.

'''Martial Artists''' [[All Monks Know Kung Fu|naturally]] can train in the art of [[Bare-Fisted Monk|fighting with their bare hands]], though that may not be what attracts everyone to this class. Trainees may instead choose to learn how to handle [[Wolverine Claws|claws]] -- they—they're one of only two classes who specialize in handling these dangerous weapons -- orweapons—or to wield [[Simple Staff|staves]] or [[Paper Fan of Doom|even fans]]. Their '''Focus''' grants them great agility, as well as give them the fortitude necessary to withstand even the most powerful enemy assault, whether physical or due to [[Breath Weapon|horrendous breath]]. Martial Artists who have almost completely mastered their Focus can also learn to heal themselves through Meditation.

* [[Limit Break]]: ''Tension Boost'' -- their—their Tension level jumps sharply, with a good chance of automatically maxing itself out!

'''Paladins''' balance the art of fighting with healing and defending their dear companions, routinely putting themselves on the line to keep their allies safe. Their '''Virtue''' is unparalleled -- aunparalleled—a well-trained Paladin can even siphon off their own HP or MP and give it to their companions. And if the worst should happen and an enemy tries to finish off a nearly fallen friend, the master Paladin may step in and [[Taking the Bullet|bear the blow themselves]].

'''Armamentalists''' combine magical might with superb swordsmanship -- thoughswordsmanship—though they may prefer a sturdy bow or wand to a blade. Whatever their [[Weapon of Choice]], an experienced Armamentalist can imbibe themselves with elemental '''Fource''', be it [[Playing with Fire|fire]], [[An Ice Person|ice]], [[Blow You Away|wind]], or even the very force of [[Dark Is Edgy|darkness]] or [[Light'Em Up|light]] itself...!

* [[Master of None]]: Lets just say that compared to some of the other classes, Armamentalists are a bit... sub-par. Fource has tiny upgrades to a handful of different stats, as well as the Fource spells themselves -- whichthemselves—which rely on the [[Guide Dang It|hidden]] Elemental Damage system and as class skills. (However, these Fource skills are ''percentage'' boosts, so if you do master the Elemental Damage system, they are very, very powerful at high levels.)

'''Sages''' have a long and illustrious history, the [[Dragon Quest III|most ancient of all]] [[Prestige Class|Prestige Classes]]es. A Sage's '''Enlightenment''' is dazzling, much like their incredible magical skills. With their vast knowledge, they can change their classes at any time, continuously heal their allies, remove their opponent's hard-won enhancements, boost their own skills, and conserve their magic so that they can spend it even more effectively. However, such power can be quite difficult to earn...

'''Luminaries''' are perhaps the rarest and most elusive of all the advanced classes. Their focus? Why, a certain ''STYLE'', of course! Every good Luminary has a winning '''Je Ne Sais Quoi''', and know all the tricks of the trade, from passing out autographs to stealing the spotlight, instant makeovers and even inspiring scandals -- andscandals—and watch out for those backstage dances; they're simply ''killer''.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: {{spoiler|After Sellma defeats him the hero is attacked by his pet dragon}}. This mirrors [[Dragon Quest I|Dragonlord]]'s {{spoiler|pet dragon}} attacking after his master's defeat .<ref> If this doesn't sound familiar, it was changed to his "[[One-Winged Angel|true form]]" in the English release to prevent it from being a [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] and it has stuck.</ref>.

* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|Arguably of [[Dragon Quest VI|Nokturnus]]. Both are frighteningly powerful demons that were summoned by a desperate king in order to save the king's nation from a great evil, both end up completely destroying at least one nation before being resealed, and both are fought as powerful [[Bonus Boss|Bonus Bosses]]es in their respective games' postgame.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: When somebody with a name like VOLUPTUA shows up in a [[Hurricane of Puns|game like this]], you'd probaly expect her to have one<ref> or more accurately, two</ref> of these. Sadly there's nothing there...

The embodiment of rage; a powerful demonic force of pure hatred. Seeks to destroy those he finds unworthy -- andunworthy—and he finds ''everyone'' unworthy. Hates humanity, the Almighty, the Celestrians... but possibly hates himself most of all.
