Handling the separate characters

How are we gonna go about this? I could see a case for keeping them merged a la Pokemon Trainer, but Red and Leaf are traditionally just genderswaps of the same character (with only Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee depicting them otherwise, and the female trainer there is debatably not the same person) like Robin/Corrin, whereas all of these characters are technically different characters with different histories.

In my opinion it'd be best to cover them all on this page, where the intro text is general and the individual histories are in subsections. I wouldn't be averse to multiple infoboxes on the page, either. Miles (talk) 13:52, June 11, 2019 (EDT)

I’m with Miles on this. However, we don’t need multiple infoboxes. We have a tabber for a reason. We just need to put in each Hero’s image into the main info box and list each first appearance. I know that the first appearance section may look bloated, but it’ll look even more bloated with multiple infoboxes. Lou Cena (talk) 14:02, June 11, 2019 (EDT)

Name

Now that we've established that his name is not "Irebun", should we refer to him as "The Luminary" or just "Luminary"? Arqade (Talk) 20:59, June 11, 2019 (EDT)

Hopefully just “Luminary”. He was called “The Hero” in the trailer despite only being called Hero ingame, probably because the announcer yelling “The Hero!!” would sound awkward. We should probably call him just “Luminary” to make things easier to read. Lou Cena (talk) 21:01, June 11, 2019 (EDT)

Heroes' Names

There have been conflict on which names should be used for the Heroes. On the Dragon Quest wiki, the Heroes are referred to as Irebun (Dragon Quest XI), Erdrick (Dragon Quest III), Solo (Dragon Quest IV), and Eight (Dragon Quest VIII). Shouldn't these be what we refer to them as? It appears that is what the Dragon Quest community refers to them by. At least, the community in charge of the Dragon Quest wiki anyway.
