• Red-Headed Hero
• Strong Family Resemblance
• The Hero and The Smart Guy: For his young age and lack of experience, Roy is pretty cunning in regards to politics (i.e.: he discovers almost by himself that Elphin was the missing Prince Mildain under a Spoony Bard disguise.)

  While the class did technically exist in the Jugdral games as the Swordfighter class, it was a functional blend of Myrmidon and Mercenary, with both Hero and Swordmaster possible promoted classes
