[[File:DQIX Classes.png|right|thumb|300px|Vocations available in ''IX'']]
The '''vocation system''' is a recurring gameplay mechanic in ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that determines character growth and abilities. The basic concept of the system is that instead of having pre-determined skills and stats, player characters are blank slates whose growth, abilities and role are determined by the player's choice of [[wikipedia:Character class|character class]]. Each class, or vocation, grants different attributes and characteristics throughout the game. The mechanic is governed by a set of rules and requirements for changing a given character's vocation, which can vary from game to game.

Only certain games within the series use a vocation system, with others having traits permanently fixed to characters. The system is always tied to the [[Alltrades Abbey]] present in the respective games, wherein characters can switch professions or combine past experiences to unlock advanced positions.

=={{DQ3}}==
{{Main|List of vocations in Dragon Quest III}}
Vocations make their proper series debut in the third title, wherein the concept of a vocation totally defines a character's abilities. Unless various stat-boosting seeds or [[Personality|personality]]-altering books are read in the remakes, any character in a given vocation is identical to the another of the same profession.

In ''III'', the player begins with only [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|the Hero]] and can enlist up to three additional party members from [[Patty's Party Planning Place]]. These characters represent different vocations and it is up to the player to decide what party members they want for their team, and at any time the player can leave and replace party members there. Each of the jobs has its own strengths and weaknesses which allows the player to build a team based on their own preferences. The party members who are kept in the tavern will depart the team with whatever stats and equipment that they gained during their travels.

About one-third of the way through the game, the player will reach [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest III)|Alltrades Abbey]] which will allow the player to change a character's vocation. Changing vocations drops a character to level 1 with half of their previous stats (and all learned spells if any), allowing particularly patient players potential to develop a perfect character without resorting to seed searching. The [[Sage]] is a hidden vocation unlocked by bringing the [[Words of Wisdom]] to the abbot or through getting a [[Gadabout]] to level 20. The Hero cannot change class at any time.

=={{DQ6}}==
{{Main|List of vocations in Dragon Quest VI}}
In ''VI'', [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VI)|Alltrades Abbey]] is unlocked by completing the first section of the game and defeating [[Murdaw]] in the [[Lower World]]. Because the game's cast is comprised of pre-established characters with distinct personalities and stat growth tables, vocations affect a character's capabilities through ''percentages'' rather than hard numbers. For example, if [[Ashlynn]]'s wisdom is 100 when she has no vocation, having her undertake the path of a mage will grant a 20% boost to the stat and raise it to 120. Such changes are adjusted with natural increases awarded through leveling up, and will be removed if the vocation is switched.

Unlike in ''III'', this game starts with nine available classes. Each of the classes has eight ranks that can be reached by battling the required number of monsters, unlocking new abilities at each interval. Through mastering the initial jobs, advanced classes can be unlocked for that character which combine aspects of the prerequisites. For example, mastering the Warrior and the [[Martial Artist]] classes will allow the character to become a [[Gladiator]]. Skills and spells mastered in one profession are permanently learned by a character.

=={{DQ7}}==
{{Main|List of vocations in Dragon Quest VII}}
The vocation implementation remains mostly unchanged from the previous game, though in the original PSX version there existed hybrid abilities that were unlocked through mastering certain positions sequentially. For example, a character could master [[Sword Dance]] by mastering the Warrior vocation right after the [[Dancer]]. This aspect was removed in the 3DS remake, with the hidden abilities being incorporated into the normal repertoire.

Additionally, party members can also become monsters by using Monster Hearts. By putting a monster heart in their inventory and speaking to the abbot or [[High Priestess Jacqueline]], they can become that monster. In the PSX version the character would not take on the appearance of the monster until mastering the vocation, where as they immediately become beastly in the remake. Furthermore, monster classes are the only way to permanently learn advanced skills and spells in the remake. In all, there are over fifty classes that a single character can become in ''VII''.

=={{DQ9}}==
{{Main|List of vocations in Dragon Quest IX}}
''IX'' has a system which is similar to the one in ''III'', in which a vocation defines a character and where the player may create party members and add them to the party. This can be done at the [[Quester's Rest]] located in [[Stornway]], by speaking to [[Patty]]. Party members created do not play any significant part in the plot.

Vocations can be changed at the [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest IX)|Alltrades Abbey]], after the player has rescued [[List of minor characters in Dragon Quest IX#Jack of Alltrades|Abbot Jack]]. There is no minimum level limit for changing classes, dubbed ''re-vocating''. One notable difference from past games is that spells are no longer carried over between class changes. A character must be a specific class to use that classes spells. Skills do carry over, and there are also methods for utilizing each weapon type with all classes.

Additional vocations must be unlocked by doing quests before the player can switch to them. Notably, the [[Sage]] class is accessible only later in the game, but includes a specific ability, Jack's Knack, which allows the party members to change class at any time and place.

There are a total of 12 classes available in ''IX''.

=={{DQ10}}==
{{Main|List of vocations in Dragon Quest X}}

The vocation system of ''X'' is similar to the one in ''IX''. The player's character always has a vocation attributed to them, which can be changed virtually anytime. Like in ''IX'', level progression is tied to each individual vocation instead of the character.

Unlike past games, the player does not need to reach [[Alltrades Abbey]] to start changing vocations. Instead, they just need to talk to priests who come from the Abbey and are placed at every tavern.

At first, the player has access to 6 vocations. Like in ''IX'', there are quests that unlock new vocations once complete. There are currently 25 vocations, but, as ''Dragon Quest X'' is a live-service online game that receives periodic updates, more vocations may be added in the future.

'''Desdemona''' (オルネーゼ, ''Orunēze'') is one of the main characters in {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}. She serves as envoy of the High [[King of Accordia]] and is a mighty female warrior.

==Appearance and Personality==
Desdemona has golden eyes and long, flowing orange hair which goes down to her back and one lock which goes falls over her face. She is a warrior and dresses in a fashion similar to other female warriors in the series. She wears a metal bra with one pauldron on her left shoulder, a leather belt around her waist, black bikini bottoms covered with a chainmail skirt, and one red legging on her left leg and a red sleeve on her left arm. Her boots and gloves are made out of maroon leather and are covered by metal greaves and vambraces respectively. On her right bicep and thigh, she wears metal bands. She also wears a metal choker with a dangling red jewel and silver hoop earrings. Desdemona's name is known throughout the world for her fighting ability and her personality is similar to that of a big sister, particularly to [[Lazarel]] and [[Teresa]].

==Abilities==
In combat, she wields an enormous two-handed {{Axe}} with ease and has no trouble fighting against opponents much larger than her. Unlike [[Yangus]] from the previous game, Desdemona's fighting style is more agile and she specializes in breaking through the enemy front with rapid axe attacks.

Topaz Light:

The '''[[Party]]''' of {{DQ9}} have to save the world from the former [[Celestrian]], [[Corvus]].

==={{DQ9}}===
====Main Members====
*'''{{Hero 9}}''' - The {{Hero 9}} is a Celestrian under the tutelage of [[Aquila]], assigned to watch over the village of [[Angel Falls]] in his/her master's stead. Later fell from the [[Observatory]] after strange beams struck through the heavens during the [[Fygg]]bloom, losing wings and halo.
====Optional Members====
*'''Player-created adventuring companions:''' Much like in {{DQ3}}, the player can create and manage their own party members at [[Patty's Party Planning Place]]. The appearances and genders of these party members can be chosen from the same set of options as are available for the hero, with the player additionally being able to select each party member's starting [[Vocation system|vocation]] out of [[warrior]], [[thief]], [[martial artist]], [[priest]], [[mage]], and [[minstrel]]. The six unlockable vocations do not become available as starting vocations for player-created party members, and must always be revocated into at [[Alltrades Abbey]].
*'''[[Erinn]]''': A young woman living with her grandfather in [[Angel Falls]]; she finds the {{Hero 9}} after he/she fell into the base of the waterfall. Her father was the "Inncredible [[Inn]]tertainer," and [[Patty]] recruits her to help restore his old establishment, the [[Quester's Rest]], in [[Stornway]].
*'''[[Sellma]]''' (Japanese: ロクサーヌ [Roxanne]): A representative of the Sinndicate of Pubs, [[Inn]]s, and Taverns (S.P.I.T.), sent to Quester's Rest to manage the [[DQVC]] Shopping Service. By talking to her the {{Hero 9}} can connect to the online store and retrieve new quests, hidden characters, and specialty shop items.
*'''[[Patty]]''' (Japanese: ウイーダ　[Luida]): A feisty, party girl and old acquaintance of [[Erinn]]'s father. She recruits Erinn to help restore his old [[inn]]. Provides her Party Planning services for the {{Hero 9}} at the [[Quester's Rest]]. Party members can be added, removed, registered, and released by talking to her.
====Temporary Members====
*'''[[Aquila]]''': A fellow [[Celestrian]] and mentor of the {{Hero 9}}. A firm but fair master, he goes missing after the {{Hero 9}} and the [[Fygg]]s fall from the [[Observatory]]. {{spoiler|start}}After completing the main story, Quest #163 "When A Star Wishes Upon You" can be completed to recruit Aquila as a permanent party member. He joins as a level 60 [[warrior]] equipped with an [[Aurora blade]], [[White shield]], [[Aquila's armour]], [[Aquila's trousers]], and [[Aquila's boots]].{{spoiler|end}}
*'''[[Ivor]]''': The troublemaking son of the mayor of [[Angel Falls]]. He accompanies the hero in the beginning of the game to clear the road connecting Angel Falls to the [[Stornway]] region. While in the party, Ivor cannot level up or be given commands by the player, acting autonomously in battle.
