<!--Synopsis - a brief summary of who the character *is*. Appearance, terse context in relation to surroundings or significant events. Avoid spoilers: only list information that is available to the player by the time they are first introduced to the character in-game. For example, if the player is Lavitz, do not write that he dies shortly after he joins the party. Save such spoilers for the Story section. However, it is fair to assume that the reader is aware of events prior to the point that this person is introduced. -->
|Synopsis=
'''Dart''' is the central protagonist of the story. He is one of few who survived when his childhood hometown, [[Neet]], was destroyed by the [[Black_Monster|Black Monster]] 18 years ago. The story begins with Dart returning to his current home village of [[Seles]]. Between the encroachment of [[Sandora|Imperial Sandora]] and a [[Dragon]] on the loose, Dart will face many challenges and revelations in his adventures. Dart sports a chestnut fringe-cut paired with blue eyes.

<!--Synopsis: Begin with introduction to playstyle as it relates to battle statistics. -->
'''Hellena Prison'''
Dart grows as an all-around character, having average stats and some of the most straightforward (if varied) additions in the game. He is introduced at level 1. Often, his AT, DF, MAT, and MDF will be within a few points of each other after factoring in base stats for his level, assuming that his gear is of the same general quality. While he is not specialized in this way, Dart will still prove to be capable in most combat situations.


=== Additions ===
While on [[the prairie]]'s of [[Serdio]] on route to '''Hellena''', '''Dart''' reminisces about how he always used to protect '''Shana''' from threats when they were kids, like a brother would protect his sister.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible"
 
|-
Upon arriving at the prison, '''Dart''' hides on a supply wagon to gain entry. He navigates through the prison, killing all who stand in his way. He nearly comes to blows with [[Lavitz]], a knight of [[Basil]] attempting to escape, however the prison guards arrive prompting the duo to instead team up against them. They agree to help each other escape, after locating '''Shana'''. Locating her cell and they key, they break her out. '''Shana''' insists on participating in the fight to escape, against '''Dart's''' wishes.
 
The trio fight their way out of the prison, but must make a daring escape through the prison warden [[Freugel]]. They tend their wounds in an abandoned shack on the '''prairie''', and decide to head for the city of [[Bale]]. Their path takes them through a [[Limestone Cave]]. A [[Urobolus|snake monster]] blocks their path at the end of the cave, however the warriors defeat it easily. In it's death throes, the monster nearly kills '''Shana''' but a strange light obliterates the creature before it can harm her. Bewildered, but undaunted, the hero's make their way towards the safety of '''Bale'''.
 
'''Hoax Conflict'''
 
'''Dart''', '''Lavitz''', and '''Shana''' arrive at the palace in '''Bale''' and have an audience with [[Albert]], king of '''Basil'''. As thanks for assisting his favored knight escape, '''Dart''' is offered a boon from the King. He asks for '''Shana''' stay at '''Bale''' to be kept safe from '''Imperial Sandora'''. '''Shana''' protests, and '''Albert''' refuses, saying he can't protect her due to the might of the dragon employed by the empire. '''Dart''' instead asks [[Minister Noish]] about the [[Black Monster]]. '''Albert''' ends the audience to attend a war meeting with his [[LLoyd|hooded advisor]] and other commanders. Having lost his village to the imperial dragon, '''Dart''' resolves to fight on behalf of '''Basil''' along side '''Lavitz'''.
 
The party is dispatched to defend [[Hoax]], one of the last major forts defending '''Bale'''. The commander at Hoax, [[Kaiser]], assigns '''Dart''' and '''Lavitz''' to night watch duty. Before his watch begins, '''Dart''' explores the fort with '''Shana'''. They encounter a elderly midwife who says Prince [[Dole]] and '''Albert's''' father King Carlo used to be very close, but something happened 20 years ago that changed '''Dole''' eventually leading to him killing his brother '''Carlo''' and start the civil war.
 
During the night, the Empire attacks. '''Dart''' and '''Lavitz''' must fend off soldiers, elite troops, and a giant man with an axe named [[Kongol]]. Despite the pair's best effort, '''Dart''' is defeated by '''Kongol'''. Before a deathblow can be dealt, the mysterious woman '''Dart''' had met outside of '''Seles''' flies onto the battle field with gossamer wings, clad in dark incandescent armor. She drives '''Kongol''' back, then raises her sword towards '''Dart''', proclaiming "Wake Up. Red eye-Dragoon". Dart erupts with red light and fire, then deals the final blow to '''Kongol'''. '''Dart''''s armor has transfored into bright red winged armor, similar to the mysterious woman. The remaining empire soldiers flee in terror. The armor disappears off '''Dart''' in a flash of red light, and he collapses.
 
When '''Dart''' wakes, the mysterious woman reveals her name is [[Rose]]. She explains she is a [[Dragoon]], and now '''Dart''' is too.
 
'''Dragon Hunt'''
 
With the power of the '''Dragoon''' at his call, '''Dart''' resolves to hunt down '''Feyrbrand''' once and for all. The Dragon's nest is through a [[Marshland]] and [[Volcano Villude]]. The path takes the party very near a heavily contested combat zone, the [[7th Fort]].
 
While traversing through the '''Marshland''' '''Shana''' slips, hurting her ankle. '''Dart''' carries her through a potion of the marsh in  a piggy back ride, like he had done for her when they were kids.
 
Inside the '''Volcano''' the party finds a long dead monster from the [[Dragon Campaign]] called a [[Virage]]. '''Shana''' enters a trance as the '''Virage''' return's to life and attacks her. The party comes to her defense and '''Dart''' knocks it into a pool of lava, killing it once and for all. On the way towards the '''Volcano''' exit, the [[Firebird]] blocks the party's path, forcing a confrontation. Just before the exit, the party encounters [[Dabas]], a trader from the nearby city of [[Lohan]].
 
Finally arriving at [[The Nest of Dragon]], the air itself has turned toxic from the dragon's presence. The nest is a cavernous maze of strange fauna the leads to [[Feyrbrand|Feyrbrand's]] lair. There, '''Lavitz''' meets a former knight of '''Basil''' named [[Greham]], who had killed '''Lavtiz''' father [[Servi]] and defected to '''Imperial Sandora'''. '''Greham''' transforms into a wind [[dragoon]], calls '''Feyrbrand''', and attacks. After defeating '''Greham''', the dragoon spirit he wielded recognizes '''Lavtiz''' as a dragoon. While leaving the nest, '''Shana''' falls victim to the toxin's lingering in the air. '''Dart''' rushes toward '''Lohan''' where he hopes to heal her.
 
'''Healing Shana'''
 
 
 
<!-- Story 2 (and to a lesser extent Story1 above) needs massive condensing and revised writing style. Salvage or start over.
 
 
After the opening FMV, Dart Feld is introduced; Sitting down, taking a break on his return home, reading the headline of a paper that says "Chance of war more likely". This is further reinforced when Dart hears the pounding of hoofs on a well-traveled forest path not far from the rock he is on. Moving to investigate, he cuts off the advance of two soldiers who were lagging behind the primary force that passed by. An abrupt exchange is halted between them when the dragon Feyrbrand is added into the mix. The two soldiers scatter, and Dart is left to fend for himself, only to be saved moments later by Rose who grabs him and pulls him out of the sights of Feyrbrand. With the dragon unable to locate Dart, it moves on. This allows for a short conversation between Dart and Rose. This conversation spurs him to run to Seles, his hometown, as she mentions that his village is much too small to warrant the need of a dragon.
 
Coming over a hill, Dart is met with the sight of Seles smoldering from an overnight raid on the village. From here on is where Dart's involvement is cemented into the story.
 
 
'''Seles'''
 
Despite being Dart's hometown, a lot of the characters inside of the village have no names attached to them, offering flavor text at best. However, there are four characters that are worth mentioning, excluding the Commander, a minor boss who is presented before encountering the others: Plos, Isha, Lowe, and Master Tasman. They will generally be encountered in this order upon entering.
 
Dart fends off two stragglers-one of which runs away-of the occupying Sandoran forces on the edge of the village to save a non-descript Villager who is about to be killed for no reason other than entertainment. After the engagement, the villager only gets enough time to talk about Imperial Sandora disregarding a truce that was made with Seles and rescuing Shana, then passes in the spot Dart found him. Advancing onward, Dart comes to the center of the village to find a familiar face resting face-down on the ground, Plos. Assisting him to lean up against a nearby destroyed cottage, they exchange solemn greetings, part of which is Plos wishing Dart had arrived only a little sooner. Dart has just enough time to listen to Plos speak about Shana being taken away, that she was the primary target of the occupying Sandoran forces. Thereafter, the Commander of the Sandoran party comes running in to deal with Dart, whom is being an upstart as it is safe to assume the soldier who ran from him moments ago reported to the Commander since one of the first things he says to Dart is, "Besting a private is no reason to be confident". The hubris of the Commander is on display, as he himself is explaining they took Shana to Hellena Prison, but that Dart won't be following after her as the Commander will stop him.
 
After defeating the commander, Plos asks if Dart is going to rescue Shana. With a nod from Dart, Plos ensures he won't stop him, but also states that Dart's current journey isn't over. This posits that Dart is only returning back to Seles as a stop gap in his quest. Plos alleviates Dart's burden of obligation to the village by saying that there's enough of them left to rebuild on their own. In this, Dart returns the favor to Plos, vowing to return when he ties up the loose ends on his journey with Shana in tow. After all of this, Plos relaxes against the wall of the cottage.
 
The next encounter is Isha, and Lowe; Although being hard to miss, they are an optional encounter that activates when entering the door of the cottage that Plos is resting against. The two children can be seen inside before entering, and upon doing so, they will bolt out of the building forcing Dart to move to the side. Exclaiming loudly they're going to get revenge, it appears they've mistaken Dart for a Sandoran occupier, and he tells them to knock it off and that it's just him, a familiar face. The children exaggerate that the soldiers killed everybody in the village, but Dart corrects them that that's not the case and they should help with rebuilding. Isha and Lowe both take initiative by rushing to grab medicinal herbs.
 
Up next is Master Tasman, whom is Dart's mentor in swordplay. He insists he did his best to fend off the forces, and got injured in the process of doing so. Sadly, he was outnumbered, and unable to follow through. Despite all of this, he challenges Dart to a duel to test his resolve, and see if he has what it takes to rescue Shana from Hellena Prison. Ironically, the duel with Master Tasman is more of a tutorial than anything else to ensure the player understands how to play the game before leaving Seles.
 
'''Forest'''
 
Nearing the end of the Forest, Dart is set upon by a canine-like creature with a horn. He yells at it, and scares it away, but it triggers an old memory of one of the escapades he had with Shana in the same spot where Shana is in the lead, and Dart is following behind. Crossing a fallen tree trunk over a ravine, Shana is set upon by an identical creature spurring Dart to jump in front and scare it away just as he had before the memory began. This implies that Shana is the explorer, and Dart, the protector. A fleeting memory it may be, it serves to reinforce the protectorate side of Dart, convincing him to push forward and rescue Shana from Hellena Prison.

Hellena Prison

While on the prairie's of Serdio on route to Hellena, Dart reminisces about how he always used to protect Shana from threats when they were kids, like a brother would protect his sister.

Upon arriving at the prison, Dart hides on a supply wagon to gain entry. He navigates through the prison, killing all who stand in his way. He nearly comes to blows with Lavitz, a knight of Basil attempting to escape, however the prison guards arrive prompting the duo to instead team up against them. They agree to help each other escape, after locating Shana. Locating her cell and they key, they break her out. Shana insists on participating in the fight to escape, against Dart's wishes.

The trio fight their way out of the prison, but must make a daring escape through the prison warden Freugel. They tend their wounds in an abandoned shack on the prairie, and decide to head for the city of Bale. Their path takes them through a Limestone Cave. A snake monster blocks their path at the end of the cave, however the warriors defeat it easily. In it's death throes, the monster nearly kills Shana but a strange light obliterates the creature before it can harm her. Bewildered, but undaunted, the hero's make their way towards the safety of Bale.

Hoax Conflict

Dart, Lavitz, and Shana arrive at the palace in Bale and have an audience with Albert, king of Basil. As thanks for assisting his favored knight escape, Dart is offered a boon from the King. He asks for Shana stay at Bale to be kept safe from Imperial Sandora. Shana protests, and Albert refuses, saying he can't protect her due to the might of the dragon employed by the empire. Dart instead asks Minister Noish about the Black Monster. Albert ends the audience to attend a war meeting with his hooded advisor and other commanders. Having lost his village to the imperial dragon, Dart resolves to fight on behalf of Basil along side Lavitz.

The party is dispatched to defend Hoax, one of the last major forts defending Bale. The commander at Hoax, Kaiser, assigns Dart and Lavitz to night watch duty. Before his watch begins, Dart explores the fort with Shana. They encounter a elderly midwife who says Prince Dole and Albert's father King Carlo used to be very close, but something happened 20 years ago that changed Dole eventually leading to him killing his brother Carlo and start the civil war.

During the night, the Empire attacks. Dart and Lavitz must fend off soldiers, elite troops, and a giant man with an axe named Kongol. Despite the pair's best effort, Dart is defeated by Kongol. Before a deathblow can be dealt, the mysterious woman Dart had met outside of Seles flies onto the battle field with gossamer wings, clad in dark incandescent armor. She drives Kongol back, then raises her sword towards Dart, proclaiming "Wake Up. Red eye-Dragoon". Dart erupts with red light and fire, then deals the final blow to Kongol. Dart's armor has transfored into bright red winged armor, similar to the mysterious woman. The remaining empire soldiers flee in terror. The armor disappears off Dart in a flash of red light, and he collapses.

When Dart wakes, the mysterious woman reveals her name is Rose. She explains she is a Dragoon, and now Dart is too.

Dragon Hunt

With the power of the Dragoon at his call, Dart resolves to hunt down Feyrbrand once and for all. The Dragon's nest is through a Marshland and Volcano Villude. The path takes the party very near a heavily contested combat zone, the 7th Fort.

While traversing through the Marshland Shana slips, hurting her ankle. Dart carries her through a potion of the marsh in a piggy back ride, like he had done for her when they were kids.

Inside the Volcano the party finds a long dead monster from the Dragon Campaign called a Virage. Shana enters a trance as the Virage return's to life and attacks her. The party comes to her defense and Dart knocks it into a pool of lava, killing it once and for all. On the way towards the Volcano exit, the Firebird blocks the party's path, forcing a confrontation. Just before the exit, the party encounters Dabas, a trader from the nearby city of Lohan.

Finally arriving at The Nest of Dragon, the air itself has turned toxic from the dragon's presence. The nest is a cavernous maze of strange fauna the leads to Feyrbrand's lair. There, Lavitz meets a former knight of Basil named Greham, who had killed Lavtiz father Servi and defected to Imperial Sandora. Greham transforms into a wind dragoon, calls Feyrbrand, and attacks. After defeating Greham, the dragoon spirit he wielded recognizes Lavtiz as a dragoon. While leaving the nest, Shana falls victim to the toxin's lingering in the air. Dart rushes toward Lohan where he hopes to heal her.

Trivia

  1. While Dart is the field character, standing still for a time will cause his idle animation to play. He will cross his arms and tap his foot on the ground, as if to show that he's waiting to proceed.
  2. When dispirited in combat, his idle animation will put his arms to each side, hanging downward along with his sword.
  3. At the point of "red" HP, he will be down on one knee with sword angled to the ground behind him.
  4. There is a leftover "beta" character model of Dart for use on field maps, with orange armor and lower overall resolution. This model is actually used in at least one in-game cutscene. When Dart, Lavitz and Shana are fleeing from Hellena Prison on horseback, look at Dart's 3D model closely (or pause with video footage).
  5. Dart's addition, Madness Hero, generates the mose base SP in the game (204 SP at max level).
  6. Dart is the only known character to wield two Dragoon Spirits. This theme is reminiscent of other "leader" types as displayed in productions such as Power Rangers (Tommy), and Avatar (Jake Sully).
  7. Dart was going to be in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale as DLC alongside Abe from the Oddworld series. Character artist Mike Edwards even created a 3D model for the game, but the plans were canceled.
  8. Originally, Dart's sword did not have a red hilt. It looked a bit different overall, and is still present and used in the game. Watch closely during his transformation sequence at the end of the game.
