Main Character

**Warning:** Following content features minor and major spoilers.

**The MC** (who's name by default is **Zack**) is a poor guy from Oar's Rest. The players are first introduced to him as he is tasked to buy coal from Maria by his caretaker, Elizabeth.

Not much is known about the MC's past, but we do know that his father was a farmer and was strictly against the use of weapons. After his father passed away, the MC, Elizabeth and Ari - who all lived together - started facing problems with their town's Hero, Leon, who kept taking money from them in order to take over their house.

Following an unexpected encounter with the demon Narissa, which he barely survived, the MC fell into a river that took him to the beach of Sealed Town, where he was saved by Rebecca and Jimmy. Lucy, Sealed Town's tinkerer, found out that the MC survived an encounter with a demon by investigating his shield, and explained to him that this technically makes him a Hero. Upon finding out that the MC isn't affiliated with any town, she roped him into becoming Sealed Town's Hero and helped him revitalize the local Guild.

## Appearance

The MC is a tall white man with brown spiky hair and brown eyes. At the beginning of the game, we see him wearing glasses and dressed in poor simple clothes consisting of pants and a dark tank top. After the game progresses past the introduction, he loses his glasses and starts wearing Guild clothes - a gray shirt, dark blue jacket with green accents and brown pants. His hair also seems to change a little, giving him a much more serious look compared to the one he has when we are first introduced to him. The MC is described as being handsome on multiple occasions, mainly by Rebecca.

## Personality

The MC is a very caring individual, as proven multiple times throughout the game. When Ari gets into trouble in the Oar's Rest's forest, he immediately jumps into danger to save her and then seems to be very worried when she falls sick afterwards. His compassion extends even towards ones that aren't as close to him - he states on multiple occasions that he cares for the people of Sealed Town and would like to continue helping them, but can't afford to as his mains goal remains to return to Ari and Elizabeth, whom he saved before arriving at Sealed Town.

He's also shown to be hot-blooded, jumping into danger to save those close to him even if the odds are stacked against him, as proven by his intervention when Lucy was being attacked by a masked woman and when he tried to help Jimmy when he was fighting with wolves and a tree monster in the forest.

The MC is shown to lack knowledge about the world - when he first meets Fara, he doesn't know what an elf is and needs her to explain it to him. The same happens when he meets the quarter beast Luna. Despite this, he easily forms relationships with them and many different girls, implying some sort of innate charisma being present within him. This is most likely due to him being rather humble and straightforward, as despite being labeled a Hero, he doesn't brag about this and doesn't abuse his position, knowing he's not a good fighter.

Despite his kindness, the MC does get mad at multiple occasions, not only at his enemies, but sometimes also at his friends. For example, when Shino got drunk and ended up acting racist towards Fara, he was quick to scold and then punish her (albeit in a sexual way). At that time he was also shown to be forgiving, as he didn't have any problems forgiving Shino the moment she apologized and even offered words of encouragement to her when she started doubting her role in the Guild.

Overall, with all these traits combined, the MC is a very likeable character and a good Hero, as despite lacking strength and experience, he easily pulls people towards him and relies on their support to overcome any trouble.
