Arus

Arus is the main protagonist of Dragon Quest VII.
== Appearance ==
Arus is dressed in a green tunic. This hat covers his black messy hair. He wears a light blue pants and brown shoes.
== Personality ==
Arus does not speak in the game because he is the personification of the player. He only communicates through prompts of yes and no. However, he is generally liked by the people of Pilchard Bay and Estard. He is somewhat of a late sleeper, much to his mother's dismay. He also has a problem declining people's requests and is constantly bullied into doing stuff by Maribel or his uncle Pike.
==Story==
The game begins with Arus and Kiefer finishing their exploration of the ruins as the sun sets. Later on that night, Maribel asks Arus what he was doing. Regardless of the answer, Maribel is not pleased and she tells him that she will find out what he is doing eventually.
Morning breaks and Arus is awakened by his mother, Pearl, who scolds him. She gives him a pilchard sandwich and tell Arus to deliver it to his father, Pollock. Arus does so and is ordered by his father to clean up the ship's interior. While there, he finds Maribel trying to stow away on the ship. She tries to convince Arus not to rat her out, but she is discovered by the ship's cook, who throws her out. After this, Pollock tells Arus that he is not ready to come with him. He tells Arus to look after his mother while she is preparing for the pilchard harvest. Arus exits the ship and watches it depart.
Afterwards, he is approached by a soldier from Estard Castle. He tells Arus that King Donald wishes to speak to him. After the message is delivered, Arus prepares to leave when Maribel approaches him. Overhearing this, she imposes herself on Arus and the two head to Estard Castle Town. They arrive without any problems and Maribel leaves to look at dresses.
Arus enters the castle to speak with King Donald. The king asks him about Kiefer, his son, and his whereabouts. Regardless of the answer, the king will be agitated by the answer. He explains that Kiefer stole the Sunstone, his mother's ring.
After his meeting with the king, Arus goes to find Kiefer who is at the ruins, who has already tried the Sunstone on the statue in the Ruins without success. Kiefer tells Arus about what he had found out in the library and explains that this must have something to do with the ruins. He gives Arus the scroll and asks him to figure out something with it.
Arus heads to the Sage on the Cliff and gives him the scroll. The Sage tells him that he can translate this document. Arus goes to find Kiefer so that they can hear the explanation.
Armed with the information, the pair head back to the ruins and finally open it. After solving the secret of the ruins, they enter the Pedestal Room. They find two tablet pieces but are unable to complete the pictograph without the final piece. Having done all that can be done for now, the two leave the ruins and head back to their respective rooms.
When Arus returns home, he is greeted by Pollock. He tells him that he had found something interesting. He gives Arus the missing tablet piece. With the final piece, Arus finds Kiefer and they head back to the ruins.
When the boys get there, they are confronted by Maribel who threatens to expose their secret unless they take her with them. Having no other options, they agree. The trio get to the Pedestal Room and place the final piece in the Pedestal. Soon after, the trio are transported into the past.
Once they are able to free the land of its problem, it reappears in the present world. Thus the trio head off to find all of the shards and restore the world to its proper form, meeting and befriending Ruff, a wolf who was turned into a human by a demon named Hackrobat. When they meet a Roamer tribe, Kiefer falls in love with the tribe dancer Lala, where he decides to join the tribe, parting ways with Arus, Maribel, and Ruff forever.
The party then uncovers more lands across the world. After Arus, Ruff, Aishe, and King Donald are thrown off the Skystone, the island of Estard is sealed in darkness. When they, minus King Donald, visit Maribel she asks Arus if there is a seal on their continent. She realizes that the party needs her help to remove the seal and rejoins the party. They set out to revive the four elemental spirits: Wind, Fire, Earth, and Water. The spirits then reveal that the Almighty was Orgodemir in disguise all along.
The party infiltrates the Cathedral of Blight to confront Orgodemir and kill him once and for all. After slaying the demon, the party goes through the lands to celebrate and they sing the praises of the heroes. Months later, Pollock lets Arus and Maribel join their fishing voyage, to the latter's delight.
