This is an attempt at translating my French fan-fiction based on the Dragon Quest and Dissidia franchise. Alef: Official novelization name of DQI mc. Allen: Official novelization name of DQII mc. Arel: Official novelization and manga name of DQIII mc. Solo: Official in-game name or DQIV mc. Luca: One of the names of DQV mc in some materials. Others include Abel, but to avoid confusion with another character, I chose this one. Heh. Reck: One of the names of DQVI mc. This is the one used in the Dragon Quest 30th anniversary illustration book, so it felt rather adequate imo. Auster: Name of DQVII's mc in the promotional manual or something. Eight: as much as I don't like using numbers to call characters, since it was, if I recall correctly, the name given to him in the 3DS commercials, I'll use this one too. Avis: This one is, sadly, entirely original. I couldn't find any official name for him, so I decided to find some Latin bird name. Avis simply meaning "bird" in Latin. Many characters appearing in this fan-fiction are coming from spin-off titles, including Dragon Quest Sword, Daï's Big Adventure, Warrior Abel etc. Basically, anything related to the DQ franchise can (or will) be referenced in it. I sincerely hope the translation will not feel too strange and will be open to any comments etc. I hope you'll have fun reading it!
