Story

Chapter 1: Serdian War

Intro On the outskirts of Seles, Dart is accosted by two Knights of Sandora. Before a fight can start, a giant monster forces Dart and the knights to flee. The monster chases Dart but he escapes with the the help of a mysterious woman. She remarks that it is strange that a Dragon was sent, as the village could have been easily destroyed by just the troops. Realizing that she must be referring to Seles, Dart rushes onward and finds his home in ruins. On arrival he defeats some lingering soldiers and finds some survivors including his sword master Tasman. He learns his childhood friend Shana was taken to Hellena Prison, and immediately resolves to free her.

Forest

While in the Forest en route to Hellena, Dart reminisces about how he was always protecting Shana from threats when they were kids.

Hellena Prison

Upon arriving at the prison, Dart hides on a supply wagon to gain entry. Although discovered initially, he dispatches the Hellena Warden and infiltrates the cell blocks. He nearly comes to blows with Lavitz, a knight of Basil attempting to escape, however guards arrive prompting the duo to team up against them. Agreeing to help each other escape, they locate Shana's cell and free her. She 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 head warden Fruegel. Although they cannot finish him off, they manage to escape by riding mounts to outpace their pursuers. They tend their wounds in an abandoned shack in the Prairie, and decide to head for the city of Bale. Their path takes them through Limestone Cave where a guardian is rumored to lurk. Near the end of the cave they find Urobolus, a giant centipede-like creature that attacks them. In its death throes, the monster lunges at Shana but a strange light obliterates the creature before it can harm her. Bewildered, the heroes 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 Gilda who says Doel and Albert's father Carlo used to be very close, but something happened 20 years ago that changed Doel and eventually lead him to kill his brother.

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 transformed 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 Seventh 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 Fire Bird 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 Dragon's Nest, 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.

Abilities

All Dragoons can use either their D'Attack or Magic during combat. For an in depth explanation of Dragoon Additions including damage formulas, see: D'Attack. Similarly, Dragoon Magic covers the damage formula for spells.
Note: The "STR %" shown when selecting spells in game is not used in the damage calculation. Instead they could be used to gauge the strength of spells in relation to one another for that specific character, but some of the values contain errors and so generally cannot be considered reliable. The Multiplier value for the spells below is the actual variable used in the damage calculation.

Red Dragon DS	Multiplier	Target	Effect	Cost	Acquisition
Flame Shot	200	Single Enemy	Inflicts  Fire -elemental magic damage.	10	Initial
Explosion	100	All Enemies	Inflicts  Fire -elemental magic damage.	20	D'level 2
Final Burst	300	Single Enemy	Inflicts  Fire -elemental magic damage.	30	D'level 3
Red-Eye Dragon	300	All Enemies	Inflicts  Fire -elemental magic damage.	80	D'level 5
Divine Dragon DS	Multiplier	Target	Effect	Cost	Acquisition
Divine DG Ball	400	All Enemies	Inflicts  Non-Elemental  magic damage.	50	Initial

Trivia

1. There is a leftover "beta" character model of Dart for use on field maps, with orange armor and lower overall resolution. This model can actually still be seen in game when the party is fleeing Hellena Prison, along with a beta model for Shana.
2. Similarly, there is a "beta" sword model that had a slightly different design without a red hilt. This model can actually still be seen in game when Dart is transforming using the Divine Dragon DS.
3. The highest base SP generated by any Addition in the game is Madness Hero at level 5 with 204 SP.
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. When Dispirited in combat, his idle animation will put his arms to each side, hanging downward along with his sword.
8. At the point of "red" HP, he will be down on one knee with sword angled to the ground behind him.
