Biography[]
Dragon Quest Builders 2[]
The builder was born and apprenticed in Cantlin.
The player gets to decide what the Builder does throughout the story, only the Builder’s personality isn’t changed. Halfway through the story, Malroth tells the Builder that he doesn’t want to be friends with them anymore, causing the Builder to slip into a state of determination and depression, shedding their smile for a sad frown, which affects every story-affected character, who comment on it often.
When given the choice to return to their own world, they refuse for the time being.
Abilities[]
The builder has the power of building in general. They also have the ability to lift freakishly huge items despite little in the way of muscles. Over the course of the game, they learn the ability to destroy large areas worth of blocks and a spin attack from Malroth. The builder is able to come up with blueprints using the book they always carry as inspiration.
The builder's enthusiasm for building is so infectious anyone, man or monster, that spends enough time with them will develop the desire to build and grow things. This even includes devout followers of the Children of Hargon and even the Master of Destruction himself.
The builder possesses the ability to tame animals by petting them and certain monsters by giving them monster munchies. It's noted by one of the miners that monsters seem to love the Builder.
While it's never outright stated that the Builder is or becomes a god, they do have the ability to create the sun that makes the dream world real with Malroth's help. They also develop the ability to convert gratitude that they collect from residents into items that have been logged in the Builderpedia. In addition, like the divine protagonist of Okami, they are powered up during the story islands by collecting gratitude from the residents of each area.
