Rab: Difference between revisions

==Appearance and personality==

Rab is an elderly gentleman with a bushy pair of eyebrows and matching mustache, and covers his bald head with a red fez. He wears a red open vest with intricate yellow patterns over a long-sleeved white tunic and a black sash worn around his waist. He also wears a pair of orange trousers, leather shoes worn with yellow socks, and he walks around with the help of a cane. Rab is also always seen carrying a large backpack.

Rab is seen as a grandfatherly figure by all members of the party, especially [[Jade]] and the Luminary due to their shared past and blood relation, respectively. His laid back and casual demeanor made him a popular figure among [[Erdrea]]'s royals during his time as king-- and later advisor--of Dundrasil, speaking plainly and amicably with aristocracy and peasants alike. During his travels with Jade he has rubbed elbows with important figures in several towns, which makes certain accommodations much easier for the party in the present. Being a former disciple of [[Grand Master Pang]] during his childhood training in [[Angri-La]], Rab practices a daily fitness routine based on the martial art that can be seen when the party is camping. Rab is also a bit of a dirty old man, keeping a copy of the ''Ogler's Digest'' magazine on his person, and he longs to get a copy of the out-of-print first issue. He frequently comments on the more curvaceous women the group encounters, particularly bunny girls, and one of his pep abilities involves getting a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosebleed nosebleed] to power up.

Rab is the former king of Dundrasil, leaving the throne when [[King Irwin]] married his daughter [[Queen Eleanor]] approximately 16 years ago. His wife had passed away sometime prior to this and is not shown within the game, but it is stated that she was a beautiful woman Rab first met at a bookstore in Dundrasil's castle-town. In accordance with the royal family's tradition of sending male heirs off the Angri-La to recieve martial arts training, Rab spent six years of his youth in the mountain temple learning the ways enlightenment via the path of the fist. Though the training itself was a success, Rab would become infamous amongst the monks for reviving no less than 10,000 strikes to his backside from Grand Master Pang's [[Naughty stick]], a "record" the exasperated woman doubts will be broken in her life time.  

Rab is first encountered by the party in [[Octagonia]] as a participant in the tournament alongside Jade. Without revealing his identity to the party, he assists in the battle against monster beneath the town and admonishes [[Vince Vanquish]] for relying on such dangerous stimulants to win his battles in the tournament, but agrees to keep the matter a secret as the young martial artist only did it for the good of the town's orphanage. Once the [[Yellow orb]] is claimed by the Luminary, Rab asks the group to accompany him and Jade to the ruins of Dundrasil where he explains the situation and his connection to the man. The party holds a candle light vigil for the fallen King and Queen, with Rab tearing up as he proclaims that their son is still alive.

==Trivia==

* One line of Rab's dialogue was changed for ''Dragon Quest XI S''. When he recommends that the party travel to [[Puerto Valor]], he now acknowledges that the town is "off to the northwest of [[Gondolia]]." In the original version of ''Dragon Quest XI'', his dialogue was much the same, except that he did not say where Puerto Valor was.

* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' that was released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Rab placed last in popularity among the playable party members, with a total of 152 votes.
