	~ The Goddess speaking to Arus

Background

Arus, more well known by his title Erdrick, is the main protagonist of the Square Enix-published game, Dragon Quest III, which originally debuted on the NES before being remade for the SNES. Among the protagonists of Dragon Quest, Arus is perhaps the most well known, as Dragon Quest III was an incredibly inspirational game in terms of story, design and gameplay for JRPGs during the days of the NES, as many of the mechanics and story beats used in modern RPGs were effectively created, or at least inspired from the game. Due to its massive success, Arus is sometimes seen as the face of the Dragon Quest series, if not the main hero. This holds true in the series itself, as Arus's actions have ultimately inspired many other heroes who also took up the mantle of Erdrick.

Born as the son of the great hero Ortega, Arus was born into a rather unfortunate time period. The demonic Archfiend Baramos was terrorizing much of the Earth, and Arus's father was tasked to track down and kill the monster. Ortega traveled to a far-away volcano, but during a great battle disappeared and was presumed dead.
