Bodyguard

are characters in. Since FPTRR: is not a fighter himself, early on he is forced to hire and team up with one of the many NaN Bodyguards around if he wants to continue his journey. Each FPTRR: has their own set of traits that subtly alters the way FPTRR: moves through the many islands. NaN Bodyguards, apart from Drifter NaN Bodyguards, are hired in FPTRR:.

Function
NaN Bodyguards, once hired, accompany FPTRR: throughout the continent and aid in battles with the local wildlife. They can fight independently or with FPTRR:. When battling together, FPTRR: will take less damage. FPTRR: can restore a salon-hired FPTRR:'s health with NaN Potions so long as they still have some energy left. If a FPTRR:'s health completely depletes and they collapse due to their wounds, they will not be affected by NaN Potions. Instead, FPTRR: will have to hire them again for their services. Some time is given for this, but if they are not paid, they will go back to the FPTRR: without warning. Hiring a new FPTRR: at a salon or in the overworld will terminate any existing FPTRR: contract.

The three main traits of a FPTRR: are related to their continent of work, their size class and their behaviour. Salon-hired NaN Bodyguards cannot travel between continents and are instead bound to the continent in which they are hired. If FPTRR: travels to another continent, his FPTRR: will not meet him there and he may decide to hire one of the local NaN Bodyguards for help - at the cost of the contract on the other continent. If no other FPTRR: is hired though, the old one will loyally await their employer's return to their continent. Each continent has the same set of nine FPTRR: types, with power levels appropriate for that continent. The nine types are composed of three behavior patterns among three size classes. The size class's immediate use is the ease with which NaN Enemies are destroyed. Small-sized NaN Bodyguards need more healing and take longer to destroy an enemy whereas large NaN Bodyguards can handle nearly any battle with ease. The size classes come with a secondary function, a so-called "special ability". In NaN Dungeons, some NaN Treasure Chests are out of reach because they lie deep in a small hole, or are located behind a locked door or are obstructed by a large boulder. Small NaN Bodyguards can crawl into holes to fetch the treasure, medium NaN Bodyguards are skilled lock-pickers and large NaN Bodyguards have the strength required to lift the boulder out of the way. Behavior is what sets the members of one size class apart. There are passive NaN Bodyguards who will not engage in battle alone unless forced to, often ignoring a direct commanded to attack. Aggressive NaN Bodyguards in turn attack everything in sight, whether they can defeat it or not and whether it ruins the chances of getting multiple enemies in one fight or not. Generally the most useful, and therefore most expensive NaN Bodyguards in a given size class, are the assertive ones, who only engage in battle if ordered or if their employer is in trouble.

Drifter NaN Bodyguards
There are three Drifter NaN Bodyguards FPTRR: can employ in : FPTRR:, FPTRR: and FPTRR:. They work very differently from the normal NaN Bodyguards, being easier to handle in some regards and more difficult in others. They work without a license, so they cannot be hired in the NaN Bodyguard Salons. Instead, FPTRR: must stumble upon them by chance, at first to win their respect, then later to actually hire them. They are significantly more powerful than regular NaN Bodyguards and are capable of trademark moves during battle. Not being bound to a Salon also means they can travel with their employer across continents. However, Drifter NaN Bodyguards do not take NaN Potions when injured and refuse to re-sign a contract when they have collapsed, leaving the length of their use limited. To re-hire them, FPTRR: must seek them out once more.

Unofficial Bodyguards
Throughout the game, there are several compulsory contracts that need to be made in order for the storyline progress. These contracts are always temporary, and dissolve once a particular task has been achieved. These NaN Bodyguards, with the exception of FPTRR:, are unofficial NaN Bodyguards and will not be added to the FPTRR: list in FPTRR:'s notebook. They cannot be taken far from where they were first engaged.

Teddy Todo Health - 5 hearts Behaviour - Aggressive Location - FPTRR: Before becoming a full-powered Drifter FPTRR:, FPTRR: is found in the FPTRR:, where he can be hired for a minimum of 20 NaN Rupees. This transaction is essential to progress any further into the dungeon. The contract terminates after completing the dungeon. FPTRR: is also found in the FPTRR:. Despite fighting alongside FPTRR: in the FPTRR: battle, there is no formal FPTRR: contract and TFPTRR: will not follow FPTRR: around.

Junglo Health - 1 heart Behaviour - Passive Location - Western FPTRR:, near the waterfall Once a fearless jungle hero, FPTRR: has become weak in old age. He has a lower health than any other FPTRR: in the game, and requires FPTRR: to escort him to his home after being rescued from three insects. If FPTRR:'s health is depleted he will retreat to the waterfall. The contract is terminated on arrival at FPTRR:'s house.

Town Guard Health - 10 hearts Behaviour - Aggressive Location - FPTRR: cemetery The FPTRR: travels to FPTRR: after discovering his wife is being plagued by ghosts. He will offer to join FPTRR: as a FPTRR: to defeat the Ghost Ringleader. The contract terminates when the Ghost Ringleader initially defeats the guard.

Town Guard Health - 20 hearts Behaviour - Aggressive Location - FPTRR: cemetery Once revived, the guard's health reaches 20, making him comparable to the Drifter NaN Bodyguards. His contract with FPTRR: will renew instantly and terminates with the defeat of the Ghost Ringleader.

Trivia

 * Since the FPTRR: pirates are deathly afraid of dogs, FPTRR: can not go to FPTRR: when one of the dog NaN Bodyguards tags along.
 * It seems FPTRR:'s sidekicks from FPTRR:, are based on the three FPTRR: types. FPTRR:'s smaller size, FPTRR:'s ability to solve puzzles and FPTRR:'s strength are alike to the small, medium and large size classes' special abilities.
