History WMG / DragonQuestIX

*** There, I fixed it.:-D

** Hello, this is the troper who came up with the Leo theory. You sir, have just made my day for mentioning me. Please accept this [[MadeOfWin Made of Win]].

* Sure, it doesn't require Orichalcum to make. Sure, you can get multiples of it. However, the Hero Spear has the exact same design on it as the rest of Erdrick's Gear, so much that if you put them all on the spear doesn't look out of place at all. Hmm...

* But if your hero dies, NPCs will react to the others (The most apparent is the baths in Gleeba, particularly with an opposite sex 2nd and you are told to leave them behind once in the story (which you shouldn't need to do if only you can see them).

** Hello, this is the person who came up with the Leo theory. You sir, have just made my day. Please accept this [[MadeOfWin Made of Win]].

* Serena and Erinn both look after their guardians once they take them in. And PC/Crovus help them out, or at least try to. Puts a different spin on PC/Erinn's relationship, and the LesYay implications if female.

* Taking a page from the person for the Leo theory, Ursa makes sense as the female name. Why? For one thing, it is also a constellation, or rather, a set of them: Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, also called the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. Both of those are obviously not birds, like Leo, showing how out of place the hero would be (you don't hide a bear in a flock of birds). Bears are also powerful creatures [[MamaBear (especially when their young are threatened)]] and have been symbols of power and strength, especially for early Germanic tribes where they were totemic animals and for many other cultures that practiced bear worship. They are fierce, yet motherly, and don't back down easily. Bears as a species were believed to all be female by the Greeks, making it perfect for a girl's name.

* And why Callisto? Callisto isn't a constellation, but according to Greek myth, she was turned into a bear by the goddess Artemis, then placed in the heavens to become...(wait for it) the Ursa Major constellation.

[[WMG: Unknown to the Main Character, Corvus is him/her older brother]]

[[WMG: The main character's canon name is Ursa/Callisto if female.)]]

* This is what I named him, but I didn't realise the [[FridgeBrilliance Fridge Brilliance]] behind it until later. First of all, every Celestrian that has a name is named after a constellation representing a bird who's personality is similar to theirs. Leo is a constellation (I think) that represents a lion, which is decidedly un-bird like, foreshadowing his loss of wings. Also, the starsign Leo is probaly the one most fitting of a hero, as they tend to be brave and have a strong sense of justice. Since this game is big on [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Names]], I reckon this is the most fitting title for the male hero. [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]], though.

* Both are birds, Lyra orignally being a vulture, and both are apart of the Summer Triangle...with AQUILLA! That was visible during the English release! Coincidence? I think NOT!

** Naw, I like Leo better.

* Seeing that there's endless possibilities for the main character's past. It could be possible that he or she was born after Corvus disappeared and his/her parents or guardians never told him/her about him because it was forbidden to so.

** And by extension the rest of it isn't feasible either. The atrocities committed by the Gittish Empire included capturing Corvus, which occurred hundreds or thousands of years after the creation of the Celestrians - as is said in-game, the Celestrians have existed for millenia.

** Thank you. This is now Fanon for me.

** Thank you. This is now [[Fanon Fanon]] for me.

[[WMG: The PlayerMooks are slaves.]]
Notice how they all wear the same beige clothes when first created that the hero in DQV wears during his time as a slave.

So, on an island surrounded by shoals, where noone can get to; there's two houses. Both have a man who loved a woman Annabelle, both bought her the same amulet, and then she died 3 days later. Both accuse the other of stealing it, and both lost it to monsters that you can RandomlyDrops and give it to the other. Indefinitely. Both have a "large diary", but you can only read 3 days worth, the rest is unreadable. They talk about how tired they are.
* Man, that Annabelle must of been some player or something right?
** Wait...there's a monster that sometimes appears on the island. A [[HornyDevil Cannibelle.]] ....[[FridgeHorror ohhhh dang.]]

* That last bit isn't possible. The Celestrians, Corvus included didn't exist until ''after'' Celestria stopped Zenus from destroying humanity, since he created them in order to free Celestria.

*** Interestingly, characters from previous games who worshipped the Goddess who show up in the Quester's Rest will refer to the Almigty instead.
