Roy (Fire Emblem)

 Roy (ロイ Roi) is a fictional swordfighter from the Fire Emblem series of video games. He is a protagonist in Fire Emblem 6: The Sword of Seals (Fūin no Tsurugi in Japan) and makes a brief cameo in Fire Emblem 7: The Blazing Sword. His father is Eliwood, the protagonist of Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Sword, the first Fire Emblem game to be released outside Japan as the Game Boy Advance game Fire Emblem in the U.S.

Roy is an upstanding, thoughtful, and idealistic young man who repeatedly shows a desire to help and support others, shown in his interaction with Guinevere and his friend since youth, Lilina. While he would prefer to avoid blood-shed – a fact reflected in his interaction with Guinevere and his tactical efforts to conserve his soldiers – he maintains a strong resolve to see peace return to Elibe. Unlike most young protagonists, however, he is perceptive and cunning for his age

Roy first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo GameCube. He appeared in this game before appearing in his native franchise. This was done in part to promote the release of Fūin no Tsurugi in Japan.

He is one of four sword-fighters in the game, along with Link, Young Link and fellow Fire Emblem veteran Marth. Roy wields the Sword of Seals and possesses a moveset similar to Marth. Both Roy and Marth speak Japanese in all versions of the game; Roy is voiced by Jun Fukuyama. Roy is not immediately available as a playable character; he must be unlocked by completing 1P Classic Mode as Marth without using continues.

It was largely Roy and Marth's appearances in Super Smash Bros. Melee, along with their huge fanbase in Japan, that brought the Fire Emblem series outside Japan. On the trophy screen for Roy, the "appearances" section states that Roy may be in "Future Releases".

 He HAS to return!!!
