Mercenary Hero/Personality

The battle and idle quotes of a Mercenary Hero depend upon the personality selected when the hero was registered.

In the case of personalities such as "aggressive" and "apologetic", the combat mode setting is still respected. The possible personalities include:

Aggressive
Aggressive heroes are bloodthirsty and hungry for battle.

Idle quotes

 * "Silence at last."
 * "As long as there are foes to face in this world, I will challenge them. It's the only way to truly know the extent of my strength."
 * "My blood boils and my heart roars out with the call to battle."

Battle quotes

 * "Your [sic] Dead!"
 * "Too Quick"
 * "Stand and face me, cowards!"
 * "You have guts if you're willing to challenge me!"
 * "Who's next? Step up and I'll knock you back down!"
 * "You won't live long enough to regret crossing me!"
 * "You are in the split second between life and death."

Apologetic
Apologetic heroes are, as their name implies, apologetic about many things.

Idle quotes

 * "I'm sorry, am I supposed to be fighting something right now?"
 * "I'm glad we're away from all of that. Sometimes the rush feels overwhelming!"

Battle quotes

 * "Please, just stay down. I'm reluctant to keep beating you so."
 * "Painful? Well, it's not personal."
 * "Sorry, but I guess I have to kill you now. Mercenary job, you know?"
 * "I really didn't want things to turn out like this!"
 * "Terribly sorry for dragging this out; I meant to take you out in one hit.""
 * "I had hoped it wouldn't come to this, and now I just hope you don't suffer long."
 * "Listen, it's not you, it's me. I mean that."
 * "Ooh, that last one seemed to hurt! Am I being too rough?"
 * "I feel bad, but... you were kind of asking for that one."

Arrogant
An arrogant hero is a hero who believes they're always right. Much of their dialogue relates to imposing their superiority on others, friend or foe.

Idle quotes

 * "Hey, someone let me know when we're doing stuff again, alright?"
 * "If I were in charge, Tyria would already be saved. In fact, we'd probably be at a parade in my honor right now. You'd better believe there would be a lot of confetti. A lot."
 * "I'm glad I've got you with me; having an audience always makes things better."
 * "Here's an idea: how about you follow my orders instead?"

Battle quotes

 * "Wow! You're almost as good as I am! Back when I was a toddler, I mean."
 * "You'd better watch this closely. You might learn something."

Born Leader
Born leaders have a penchant for giving their party an inspiring quote from time to time.

Idle quotes

 * "Well executed, now don't let up!"
 * "We are proud and defiant, our will can not be broken!"
 * "Courage is an ally that will always stand at your side!"
 * "You cannot hope to overcome us!"
 * "There's only one way that this can end!"

Confused
Confused heroes will occasionally break the fourth wall to comment on their uncertainty of things such as their build and profession combination.

Idle quotes

 * "Maybe this isn't really the best profession combination for me, after all."

Battle quotes

 * "Wait, was I supposed to do a special incantation to go along with that?"
 * "Whoa! I've never seen blood do that before!"
 * "See, I really thought I had it right that time. What do you think?"
 * "Which way? This way?"
 * "Drat! I wasn't aiming for you, but I'm glad I hit something."
