Hero (Suikoden V): Difference between revisions

Line 18:

}}

The '''hero''' (主人公, ''Shujinkō''), known by several different names, is the protagonist of [[Suikoden V]]. He is the Prince of [[Queendom of Falena|Falena]], forced into exile by the machinations by the nefarious [[Godwin Faction]], causing him to raise an army to save [[Lymsleia Falenas|his sister]] and rescue the realm.

==Profile==

===Appearance===

The Prince was a slender young man who had inherited the silver hair of [[Arshtat Falenas|his mother]] and the martial prowess of [[Ferid|his father]]. His eyes were a pale blue, almost matching his hair.

The Prince liked to dress in a way that was easy to move around in, but still has the quality of royalty. In times of peace, he wore his standard royal clothing. It was a loose-fitting garment with a warm color scheme based on the motif of the sun, as is typical of royalty. The quality is slightly inferior to that of female royalty.

While on the run after escaping the [[Sun Palace]], he wore a civilian outfit, made based on the attire of residents of [[Rainwall]]. He wore a cloak that covers him completely, for added concealment as his royal lineage tends to shine through no matter the attire. It is deliberately reminiscent of the outfit of [[Hero (Suikoden)|the hero]] of the first [[Suikoden]].

The outfit he wears the most in [[Suikoden V]], however, is a special battle outfit made for him. In order to manipulate the special three-part staff, ease of movement was the primary consideration for this outfit.

===Personality===

The hero grew up loved by those around him, perhaps because of his naturally gentle nature. His mild personality allowed him to be well-received by many people despite his royal upbringing.

He was looked down upon by some within the nobility of his perceived lack of political importance. However, the Prince also held strong convictions and was determined to use what power he had for the sake of justice. His sound judgment and consideration for other people drew people to him.

When his happy life was torn asunder, it was the thought of family that brought back from his despair. Though he cared for Falena and its people, the foundation of his struggle was to bring back the smile of his beloved sister, [[Lymsleia Falenas|Lymsleia]]. The Prince grew up alongside [[Lyon]] and so the two also had a close relationship but a non-romantic one.

==Name and Weapon==

The hero of [[Suikoden V]] has no in-game name, but is occasionally referred to by different names in other publications and releases. He was initially referred to as '''Faroush''', (ファルーシュ, ''Farūshu''), a portmanteau of his parents' names in a promotional save file released in Japan. This name would be supplanted in fandom use by [[Genso Suikoden V (book)|the 2005 novelisation]] where he is called '''Freyjadour''' (フレイアドゥール, ''Fureiadoūru''). This is now the name in common usage in the English-speaking fandom. The manga releases give him another name, '''Ardil''' (アーディル, ''Ādiru'').

Line 70:

In guide books, he is usually referred to as Hero V (主人公V) or some variant thereof, such as V主人公 to distinguish himself as the protagonist of the fifth Suikoden title.

The Prince's weapon is an articulated tri-nunchaku. It is a national treasure of the [[Queendom of Falena]] that has been handed down to him. When not in use, it is stored on the back of the body by a belt with a holder, and when in use, the central piece, which is split in two when stored, is connected and combined.
