15 | ->'''Played by: Creator/JakeGyllenhaal''' |
16 | |
17 | Dastan was born a street urchin in 6th-century Persia he was adopted by the king, after he shows valor and integrity, in an effort to prevent his two others sons from fighting over the throne. |
18 | ---- |
19 | * AntiHero: He drinks, bloodily dispatches enemies, and causes property damage on a ridiculous scale, though that last one isn't ''technically'' all his fault. |
20 | * BattleCouple: With Tamina. |
21 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Even if his brothers don't like it, he'll ''always'' try to do the right thing. |
22 | * ClearMyName: He was accused of murdering his father when the robe he gave to him was found to be poisoned. |
23 | * CombatPragmatist: He's not above running away, when the situation calls for it. |
24 | * CompositeCharacter: Of all the Prince characters from the games. He's primarily based on the ''Sands of Time'' Prince with a similar character arc, but like the Prince of the original games he wasn't born into royalty and his personality is more similar to the Prince of the 2008 game. |
25 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
26 | * {{Determinator}}: Even being beaten to a bloody-pulp will not keep him down for long. |
27 | %%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine. |
28 | * HappilyAdopted: Dastan was adopted by the King and is loved as an equal by his brothers. |
29 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: His reaction when his father presents Tamina to him for an ArrangedMarriage. |
30 | * InTheHood: As seen in the picture. Can count as a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia'''s [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed brother franchise]] too, considering the similar HackAndSlash dynamics they use. |
31 | * KnightInSourArmor: He's sometimes a pessimistic swashbuckler, but can always be counted on to do the right thing. |
32 | %%* MadeOfIron |
33 | * ManlyTears: When he fails to save [[spoiler:his father, (both) brothers, and his LoveInterest]]. It's pretty understandable. |
34 | * MeaningfulName: A dastan is the name of an ornate form of oral history from Central Asia, generally centered on one individual who protects his tribe or his people from an outside invader or enemy. Given the movies themes about family, duty and time it is fitting that Dastan has this name. |
35 | %%* MrFanservice |
36 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: The second Prince character to be given a name after Guiv in ''ComicBook/PrinceOfPersiaTheGraphicNovel''. |
37 | * NecessaryFail: He thinks that the Dagger of Time is just an ordinary dagger, until he [[spoiler:uses the Sands of Time stored in it when Tamina tried to fight and betray him when seduction didn't work. His first attempt at rewinding time is merely accidental and left him confused and vulnerable to a fatal slash to the chest, but he willingly used the Sands to rewind and save his life. His second attempt at rewinding time allowed him to outsmart Tamina and earn her trust, since he already knows how the Dagger works]]. |
38 | * ParentalAbandonment: Dastan being an [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan orphan]] is why the king adopted him upon being impressed with his courage and decency. |

44 | %%* StandardHeroReward |
45 | * SteppingStoneSword: He uses crossbow bolts to scale the city walls. |
46 | %%* TallDarkAndHandsome |
47 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Dastan, the boy that risked his life to save someone wrongly persecuted ends up leading the attack on an innocent nation, though doing so from misinformation and out of a concern to avoid, as much as possible, the horrendous death tolls that the original attack plan's full frontal assault would most likely incur going by RealLife historical record.[[note]]There's a reason attacking walled cities tended towards long sieges to starve out the defenders, after all.[[/note]] |
48 | * WarriorPrince: Dastan and his brothers are all accomplished warriors who lead their father's army in battle. |

70 | %%* GoGoEnslavement |
71 | * HotBlooded: One of the rare female examples. |

73 | * IndyHatRoll: Tamina does this while she and Dastan are running from Sheik Amar and Seso. |

84 | %%* StatuesqueStunner |
85 | * {{Tsundere}}: Has the attitude of a Type A at first, being generally unfriendly with people around her and [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder backstabbing]] Dastan. By the end of her CharacterDevelopment however, it's harder to tell (probably still slightly more Type A than B). |
86 | * WellExcuseMePrincess: She and Dastan snark at each other ''a lot'' when the first met. |
87 | %%* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: |
88 | * YouCantFightFate: Tamina believes this, what with her belief in destiny. |
