Appearances

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Main Members

• Hero - The Hero 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 Fyggbloom, losing wings and halo.

Optional Members

• Player-created adventuring companions: Much like in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation, 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 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 after he/she fell into the base of the waterfall. Her father was the "Inncredible Inntertainer," 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, Inns, and Taverns (S.P.I.T.), sent to Quester's Rest to manage the DQVC Shopping Service. By talking to her the Hero 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 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. A firm but fair master, he goes missing after the Hero and the Fyggs fall from the Observatory.

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.

• 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.
