The '''Hero''', also referred to as the '''Creation Hero''', is the title given to a player's character in the [[Drawn to Life Series]]. The Hero is drawn by the [[Creator]] with the intent of creating something to face the threats the [[Raposa]] could not manage. The Hero's [[weapon]]s vary in the categories of [[Shooter|guns]], [[Legendary Sword|swords]], and [[Claws|claws]], but they are also capable of unarmed physical attacks such as kicks and uppercuts.

In ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' levels the Hero can run, jump, and shoot, among various other things. In most levels, they are tasked to retrieve for four torn template pieces from the [[Book of Life]], and save three [[Raposa]] hidden in each level. They use various creations drawn by the player to progress. In ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'', they are drawn upon an improved mannequin and are able to swim freely in water without being damaged. They are also able to transform into two new forms - '''Blob Form''' and '''Spider Form'''.

=={{Icon|Tower}} Appearance ==
The Hero is usually depicted in official artwork as a somewhat crudely drawn boy with a sword, yellow hair, a red shirt with a lightning bolt decal, and short, blue jeans. However, The Hero's appearance is not certain, because in the game, they are customized to resemble anything the player desires. Due to the restraints of the areas provided, all possible designs will have a basic humanoid structure.

The Hero is usually depicted in official artwork as a somewhat crudely drawn boy with a sword, yellow hair, a red shirt with a lightning bolt decal, and short, blue jeans. However, The Hero's appearance is not set in stone, because in the game, they are customized to resemble anything the player desires. Due to the restraints of the areas provided, all possible designs will have a basic humanoid bone structure - a head, at least one arm, a torso, and at least one leg. The Hero is significantly larger than the Raposa and most enemies. In each game, there are multiple templates for the Hero to be chosen from should the player not want to draw their own. Some of these templates are unlocked at the beginning of each game, but many of them are unlocked through [[Secrets]] or DLC.
The Hero is significantly larger than the Raposa.
 
  
=={{Icon|Creation}} Drawing ==
+
=== Blob Form ===
Near the start of the game, The Hero is drawn. There is a rough guideline that functions as a boundary. After The Hero is drawn, a name must be given to them. There are also templates available if the player does not want to draw The Hero from scratch. When in levels, the player usually draws a weapon that The Hero can use to defeat enemies. After the first Hero, two more can be drawn and named, creating a total of three heroes that can be switched through.
+
Exclusive to ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'' is Blob Form, a transformation where the Hero turns into a spherical blob that can engulf enemies. The preset drawing for this creation is a green sphere with small bumps. This mode is slightly transparent and is not rigid, but can become rigid when holding an enemy inside it.
  
In ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'', the player can add or subtract more or fewer arms and legs, as well as resizing parts of The Hero's body. The Hero also gains two new forms after reaching certain points in the game (Blob Form and Spider Form).
+
=== Spider Form ===
 
+
Also exclusive to ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'' is Spider Form, a transformation where the Hero turns into a spider that can climb up walls and shoot webs. The preset drawing for this creation is a grey mechanical spider with blue pupils and blue joins.

After [[Mari]] prays to the [[Creator]] for help restoring [[Rapoville|the village]], the Creator tells her to gather all the villagers around [[Creation Hall]], but she is only able to gather [[Jowee]]. It is then that the Hero is first seen. From this point onward, the Hero joins Mari, Jowee, and Mari's father - the [[Mayor]] - in their quest to restore the [[Book of Life]] and defeat [[Wilfre]], a cunning [[Raposa]] responsible for the state of the world. Throughout the game, the Hero must journey into [[Snow Gate|four]] [[Forest Gate|different]] [[Beach Gate|world]] [[City Gate|gates]], and in each level, they must collect four pages of a [[Template]], three kidnapped Raposa, and clean up [[Shadow]] along the way.
 
 
The Hero is first introduced to the village via mannequin in [[Creation Hall]]. They retrieve the missing templates and rescue the lost villagers to restore the village to its former glory, and eventually defeat [[Wilfre]].

The Hero returns via a mannequin in a second Creation Hall aboard [[Turtle Rock]] and accompanies the Raposa on a voyage around the world overseas. However, they do not remember anybody nor do they remember going on their first adventure, possibly due to the fact that they were created using a different mannequin, that has extra and resizable parts.

The Hero returns to find the missing items that [[Circi]] sent them to find. They find the artifacts and fight the monster she created.

=={{Icon|Axe}} Attacks==
+
At the end of each gate, the Hero encounters Wilfre face to face. He taunts you for your attempts to stop him, and he sends a monster after the village, in the form of [[Frostwind]], [[Deadwood]], and the [[Angler King]]. At the end of the game, the Hero finally faces Wilfre head on with the [[Legendary Sword]], the only weapon capable of killing him. After defeating [[Wilfre's Scorpion]], the Hero and Wilfre finally fight. Wilfre is defeated here and the Hero returns to a hopeful Rapoville, watching over the villagers with the spirit of the now-deceased Mayor.
'''Default:''' Using the Y button, the Hero attacks using only their hands or fists.
 
  
'''Ground Pound:''' By jumping and pressing down on the D-pad and B, The Hero jumps into the air and lands on the ground to crush enemies. In the [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]] and [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]], it is called, "Butt Stomp."

In the Wii sequel, the Hero returns when [[Village Bridge|many]] [[Isaac's Door|village]] [[Windmill Blade|objects]] go missing. The Hero is first sent into [[Jangala]] to find [[Zsasha]], whom the villagers believe is behind the missing objects, but after helping the [[Monkey King]] rid the [[Treetop Village]] of [[Shadow]], the villagers believe that [[Wilfre]] had returned. Now sent into [[Shadow City]] to do recon for Mari and [[Circi]], Mari's deputy mayor, the Hero defeats [[Boss]], a massive ink creature that Wilfre had supposedly created. After this fight, the Hero returns with [[Wilfre's Journal]], documenting his plan to steal the [[Artifacts of Power]] to take down the [[Creator]] once and for all.
  
'''Slasher:''' Pressing the Y button, The Hero attacks with the Slasher weapon that can be drawn by the player.
+
The Hero is then sent into the [[Icy Wastes]] to find the [[Eternal Furnace]], the next Artifact of Power. As the Hero journeys deeper into the Wastes, they find that a mysterious [[Circi|Shadowy Figure]] had stolen the Furnace already. The Hero is then informed that Wilfre's Shadow army is closing in on the [[Tree of Ages]], which held the final Artifact of Power. The Hero manages to save the Tree from the Shadow and collects the final Artifact - [[Branches from the Tree of Ages]]. However, when returning to the village, Circi reveals that she had been behind the Shadow and that Wilfre was still deceased. When Circi combines all the collected Artifacts to create the [[Bad Mannequin]], she attempts to draw Wilfre onto it but had forgotten what he looked like, accidentally creating the [[Giant Scribble Monster]]. The Hero defeats the monster and the village is saved once more.
  
'''Slinger:''' Pressing the Y button, The Hero uses the Slinger weapon to attack by swinging it in multiple directions. Exclusive to [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]].
+
===''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]''===
 +
When [[Heather]] goes missing and the village is thrown into chaos, [[Mari]] and [[Jowee]] attempt to call on the Hero once more, but a revived [[Wilfre]] drains the mannequin of its [[Color]]. After draining all of [[Rapoville]]'s color and kidnapping some of the villagers, Mari, Jowee, and a few other survivors escape onto [[Turtle Rock]] a mobile village with its own [[Creation Hall]]. A new Hero is created and is tasked with helping the [[Raposa]] find Heather. The Hero travels to [[Watersong]], [[Lavasteam]], and [[Galactic Jungle]], helping Jowee deal with both Heather and eventually Mari's disappearance, Wilfre's [[Salem|cunning]] [[Sock|disguises]], and the truth behind their world.
  
'''Shooter:''' Pressing the Y button, The Hero shoots with the Shooter weapon like a gun.
+
Eventually, the Hero arrives at [[Wilfre's Wasteland]] and has to find the [[Village Orbs]] and [[Village Altars]] to access the [[Hall of Darkness]]. After gaining access to the Hall, the Hero goes in to defeat Wilfre once and for all. The Hero goes back to the restored Rapoville with the rest of the Raposa and [[Mike]], the only human living in Rapoville. The Creator then wakes Mike from his coma and Mike loses perception of the Hero, along with the Raposa as he wakes.
  
'''Abilities:''' In ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', the hero can use various unlockable [[Abilities]] that greatly increase their combat effectiveness and maneuverability. These abilities usually revolve around pressing the X button.
+
===''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]''===
 +
Four years later, [[Mari]] asks for another Hero to help [[Mike]] in the [[Human]] realm. After giving the Hero the [[Book of Imagination]], the Hero travels to [[Belleview]] and begins helping the villagers rid themselves of [[Shadow]], now curtesy of [[Aldark]] instead of [[Wilfre]]. The Hero continues to travel between Belleview and [[Rapoville]], sometimes bringing Mike with them, and helping both Humans and [[Raposa]] with their issues. The Hero eventually encounters Aldark and defeats him using the Book of Imagination. Aldark retreats and a reformed Wilfre informs the Hero that Aldark would likely return.

** Since these implications aren't present in ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'', it is unknown whether or not this applies to the Hero in that game.
**Since these implications aren't present in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, it is unknown whether or not this applies to The Hero in that game. Especially since it is a completely different mannequin.
+
* Due to the various religious referencing in the games, it is likely that the Hero is an interpretation of the biblical figure, [[wikipedia:Jesus|Jesus]].
* In ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'', in the last level of Wilfre's Wasteland, statues of the Hero on the boxart can be found scattered around the mansion.
+
* The June 2006 Milestone build of ''Drawn to Life'' contains templates for both [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman Rayman] and [https://splintercell.fandom.com/wiki/Sam_Fisher Sam Fisher] from the ''Splinter Cell'' series.
**This is quite ironic, as Wilfre has shown many signs of hatred towards The Hero.
+
* According to [[5th Cell]]'s old website, the main form of the Hero is called the "Humanoid Archetype"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131209152322/http://www.5thcell.com:80/drawn_to_life_the_next_chapter/ Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter 5th Cell Page (2013)]</ref>.
* Due to the various religious referencing in the games, it is rumored that The Hero represents the biblical figure, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus Jesus].
+
* Unlike actual spiders, the Hero's Spider Form has three legs instead of eight.
* The Hero bears similar resemblance to another protagonist developed by 5th Cell: Lock from the Tower Defense game ''Lock's Quest.''
+
* The template "Free Billy" in ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'' was named by Drawn to Life: For All server member "pandemonicplanet".
**There is also a preset for The Hero that resembles an enemy known as a Clockwork from ''Lock's Quest''.
+
* At one point during the development of ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'', there would have been an option for the Hero to solve levels using a partial AI system<ref>[https://www.chargeorge.com/ Char George Website]</ref>.
  
<div style="visibility: hidden;">
+
=== Drew ===
<references /></div>
+
* The name for the [[THQ]] designed Hero, Drew, was in contention for some time in the ''Drawn to Life'' community, with many members believing that "Drew" was simply a fanon name, despite THQ using the name as early as 2009 in promotional material<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/drawntolifegame/posts/learn-how-to-draw-drew-on-the-drawn-to-life-website/135751029085/ THQ using the name "Drew" for the boxart Hero]</ref>.
 +
** The second most common name for the THQ designed Hero during this time was "Sparky", likely due to the lightning bolt on this Hero's shirt. The originator of the name "Sparky" is currently unknown, though it may simply be multiple fans coming up with the same name over time.
 +
*** The earliest known use of "Sparky" in reference to the Hero is in [https://www.deviantart.com/cappy-code/art/Just-where-are-YOU-going-195047296 this deviation] by DeviantArt user [https://www.deviantart.com/cappy-code/gallery cappy-code], on Jan 27th, 2011.
 +
* In ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'', statues of the Drew can be found scattered around [[Forgotten Library]] and [[Hall of Darkness]].
 +
** The statues in Hall of Darkness are notable, as [[Wilfre]] despises the Hero and [[Creator]]. What this could truly mean is unknown.
 +
* Drew bears a resemblance to Lock from the Tower Defense game ''[[:wikipedia:Lock's Quest|Lock's Quest]]'', another game developed by [[5th Cell]].
 +
** There is also a preset for the Hero that resembles an enemy known as a Clockwork from ''Lock's Quest''.
 +
* Drew is not present in any promotional material for ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]''.
 +
** This is because [[Digital Continue]] did not want to continue using Drew and wanted the Hero to solely be who the player draws.<ref>[[File:Screenshot_from_2020-11-05_14-33-15.png|100px]]</ref>
 +
*** Drew's design was, however, planned to be reused for the scrapped [[Unused & Removed Features/DTL3#Inflatable_Hero|Inflatable Hero]] toy. It is unknown why it was cut, though it could be because they wanted to separate from THQ's design.
 +
* In the manual for some copies of ''[[Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition]]'', Drew is featured on an advertisement for PlayTHQ.com, the website of [[THQ]]'s casual label.
 +
** Drew also appears on an advertisement for the first game on the back of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juiced_2:_Hot_Import_Nights Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights'] manual and an Australian-exclusive iron-on transfer sticker promoting ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]''.
 +
*** Strangely, the render used for the latter was taken from the first game.
 +
* Despite being the boxart Hero for those games, Drew is not a selectable preset Hero in ''Drawn to Life'' nor in ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter''.
 +
* The design of the Hero mascot went through two different designs before Drew was selected. One such design was a completely blank Hero, whilst the other took the form of a child wearing a knight's helmet.
 +
** The former could possibly be the inspiration for the design of ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms''' boxart Hero.
 +
* Drew is featured in a promotion flash game titled [[Action Draw Jumper]]. You can read more about it [https://drawntolife.wiki/en/Action_Draw_Jumper here].
 +
* In [[:wikipedia:Dood's Big Adventure|Dood's Big Adventure]], another game published by THQ, one of the character skins is named "Drew" and is based on Drew from the [[Drawn to Life Series]].

Creator


The Hero, also referred to as the Creation Hero, is the title given to a player's character in the Drawn to Life Series. The Hero is drawn by the Creator with the intent of creating something to face the threats the Raposa could not manage. The Hero's weapons vary in the categories of guns, swords, and claws, but they are also capable of unarmed physical attacks such as kicks and uppercuts.

In Drawn to Life levels the Hero can run, jump, and shoot, among various other things. In most levels, they are tasked to retrieve for four torn template pieces from the Book of Life, and save three Raposa hidden in each level. They use various creations drawn by the player to progress. In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, they are drawn upon an improved mannequin and are able to swim freely in water without being damaged. They are also able to transform into two new forms - Blob Form and Spider Form.

TowerIcon.png Appearance[edit]

Humanoid Form[edit]

The Hero is usually depicted in official artwork as a somewhat crudely drawn boy with a sword, yellow hair, a red shirt with a lightning bolt decal, and short, blue jeans. However, The Hero's appearance is not set in stone, because in the game, they are customized to resemble anything the player desires. Due to the restraints of the areas provided, all possible designs will have a basic humanoid bone structure - a head, at least one arm, a torso, and at least one leg. The Hero is significantly larger than the Raposa and most enemies. In each game, there are multiple templates for the Hero to be chosen from should the player not want to draw their own. Some of these templates are unlocked at the beginning of each game, but many of them are unlocked through Secrets or DLC.

Blob Form[edit]

Exclusive to Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is Blob Form, a transformation where the Hero turns into a spherical blob that can engulf enemies. The preset drawing for this creation is a green sphere with small bumps. This mode is slightly transparent and is not rigid, but can become rigid when holding an enemy inside it.

Spider Form[edit]

Also exclusive to Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is Spider Form, a transformation where the Hero turns into a spider that can climb up walls and shoot webs. The preset drawing for this creation is a grey mechanical spider with blue pupils and blue joins.

Book Icon.png Story[edit]

Drawn to Life[edit]

After Mari prays to the Creator for help restoring the village, the Creator tells her to gather all the villagers around Creation Hall, but she is only able to gather Jowee. It is then that the Hero is first seen. From this point onward, the Hero joins Mari, Jowee, and Mari's father - the Mayor - in their quest to restore the Book of Life and defeat Wilfre, a cunning Raposa responsible for the state of the world. Throughout the game, the Hero must journey into four different world gates, and in each level, they must collect four pages of a Template, three kidnapped Raposa, and clean up Shadow along the way.

At the end of each gate, the Hero encounters Wilfre face to face. He taunts you for your attempts to stop him, and he sends a monster after the village, in the form of Frostwind, Deadwood, and the Angler King. At the end of the game, the Hero finally faces Wilfre head on with the Legendary Sword, the only weapon capable of killing him. After defeating Wilfre's Scorpion, the Hero and Wilfre finally fight. Wilfre is defeated here and the Hero returns to a hopeful Rapoville, watching over the villagers with the spirit of the now-deceased Mayor.

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)[edit]

This Section of Hero Contains Non-Canon Content!

In the Wii sequel, the Hero returns when many village objects go missing. The Hero is first sent into Jangala to find Zsasha, whom the villagers believe is behind the missing objects, but after helping the Monkey King rid the Treetop Village of Shadow, the villagers believe that Wilfre had returned. Now sent into Shadow City to do recon for Mari and Circi, Mari's deputy mayor, the Hero defeats Boss, a massive ink creature that Wilfre had supposedly created. After this fight, the Hero returns with Wilfre's Journal, documenting his plan to steal the Artifacts of Power to take down the Creator once and for all.

The Hero is then sent into the Icy Wastes to find the Eternal Furnace, the next Artifact of Power. As the Hero journeys deeper into the Wastes, they find that a mysterious Shadowy Figure had stolen the Furnace already. The Hero is then informed that Wilfre's Shadow army is closing in on the Tree of Ages, which held the final Artifact of Power. The Hero manages to save the Tree from the Shadow and collects the final Artifact - Branches from the Tree of Ages. However, when returning to the village, Circi reveals that she had been behind the Shadow and that Wilfre was still deceased. When Circi combines all the collected Artifacts to create the Bad Mannequin, she attempts to draw Wilfre onto it but had forgotten what he looked like, accidentally creating the Giant Scribble Monster. The Hero defeats the monster and the village is saved once more.

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter[edit]

When Heather goes missing and the village is thrown into chaos, Mari and Jowee attempt to call on the Hero once more, but a revived Wilfre drains the mannequin of its Color. After draining all of Rapoville's color and kidnapping some of the villagers, Mari, Jowee, and a few other survivors escape onto Turtle Rock a mobile village with its own Creation Hall. A new Hero is created and is tasked with helping the Raposa find Heather. The Hero travels to Watersong, Lavasteam, and Galactic Jungle, helping Jowee deal with both Heather and eventually Mari's disappearance, Wilfre's cunning disguises, and the truth behind their world.

Eventually, the Hero arrives at Wilfre's Wasteland and has to find the Village Orbs and Village Altars to access the Hall of Darkness. After gaining access to the Hall, the Hero goes in to defeat Wilfre once and for all. The Hero goes back to the restored Rapoville with the rest of the Raposa and Mike, the only human living in Rapoville. The Creator then wakes Mike from his coma and Mike loses perception of the Hero, along with the Raposa as he wakes.

Drawn to Life: Two Realms[edit]

Four years later, Mari asks for another Hero to help Mike in the Human realm. After giving the Hero the Book of Imagination, the Hero travels to Belleview and begins helping the villagers rid themselves of Shadow, now curtesy of Aldark instead of Wilfre. The Hero continues to travel between Belleview and Rapoville, sometimes bringing Mike with them, and helping both Humans and Raposa with their issues. The Hero eventually encounters Aldark and defeats him using the Book of Imagination. Aldark retreats and a reformed Wilfre informs the Hero that Aldark would likely return.

Trivia[edit]

The Hero[edit]

  • Despite being inherently genderless, the Hero is often referred to with masculine pronouns.
  • It can be assumed that the Hero can indeed speak, seeing as the player is occasionally presented with dialogue options in certain cut scenes, most notably after levels in Drawn to Life.
    • However, in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, all of the dialogue options presented are "yes" or "no". This could imply that this mannequin has limited speech abilities.
  • In one of the dialogue options in Drawn to Life, the Hero states they're hungry, implying that they can eat and possibly need food to survive.
    • Since these implications aren't present in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, it is unknown whether or not this applies to the Hero in that game.
  • Due to the various religious referencing in the games, it is likely that the Hero is an interpretation of the biblical figure, Jesus.
  • The June 2006 Milestone build of Drawn to Life contains templates for both Rayman and Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell series.
  • According to 5th Cell's old website, the main form of the Hero is called the "Humanoid Archetype"[2].
  • Unlike actual spiders, the Hero's Spider Form has three legs instead of eight.
  • The template "Free Billy" in Drawn to Life: Two Realms was named by Drawn to Life: For All server member "pandemonicplanet".
  • At one point during the development of Drawn to Life: Two Realms, there would have been an option for the Hero to solve levels using a partial AI system[3].

Drew[edit]

  • The name for the THQ designed Hero, Drew, was in contention for some time in the Drawn to Life community, with many members believing that "Drew" was simply a fanon name, despite THQ using the name as early as 2009 in promotional material[4].
    • The second most common name for the THQ designed Hero during this time was "Sparky", likely due to the lightning bolt on this Hero's shirt. The originator of the name "Sparky" is currently unknown, though it may simply be multiple fans coming up with the same name over time.
      • The earliest known use of "Sparky" in reference to the Hero is in this deviation by DeviantArt user cappy-code, on Jan 27th, 2011.
  • In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, statues of the Drew can be found scattered around Forgotten Library and Hall of Darkness.
    • The statues in Hall of Darkness are notable, as Wilfre despises the Hero and Creator. What this could truly mean is unknown.
  • Drew bears a resemblance to Lock from the Tower Defense game Lock's Quest, another game developed by 5th Cell.
    • There is also a preset for the Hero that resembles an enemy known as a Clockwork from Lock's Quest.
  • Drew is not present in any promotional material for Drawn to Life: Two Realms.
    • This is because Digital Continue did not want to continue using Drew and wanted the Hero to solely be who the player draws.[5]
      • Drew's design was, however, planned to be reused for the scrapped Inflatable Hero toy. It is unknown why it was cut, though it could be because they wanted to separate from THQ's design.
  • In the manual for some copies of Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, Drew is featured on an advertisement for PlayTHQ.com, the website of THQ's casual label.
  • Despite being the boxart Hero for those games, Drew is not a selectable preset Hero in Drawn to Life nor in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.
  • The design of the Hero mascot went through two different designs before Drew was selected. One such design was a completely blank Hero, whilst the other took the form of a child wearing a knight's helmet.
    • The former could possibly be the inspiration for the design of Drawn to Life: Two Realms' boxart Hero.
  • Drew is featured in a promotion flash game titled Action Draw Jumper. You can read more about it here.
  • In Dood's Big Adventure, another game published by THQ, one of the character skins is named "Drew" and is based on Drew from the Drawn to Life Series.
