Dorws

Dorws is the protagonist of his CYOA, and a heroic swordsman. Dorws was originally created by senok as a sort of parody original character, but he spiraled into his own thing with the creation of the Dorws CYOA.

Appearance
Dorws has yellow hair, even more yellow than blonde. His hair, since early artwork, has grown shorter, and he's often depicted with a sort of bowl cut. In official artwork, he lacks an eye color.

By default, he wears a dark blue long sleeved shirt, and dark blue pants, both being exactly the same color. He wears a red scarf/cape which often sways behind him. His shoes have become boots since his early artwork, them being light brown. He has nothing covering his hands. He has a sword with a gray blade and a black line running down the middle, while the hilt is wooden and the same color as his shoes. Dorws has a medium blue emblem consisting of just a circle on the center of his shirt.

Personality
In the CYOA, Dorws appears to be controlled by the actions of the users. However, when Dorws has his way with the options, he's rather nice and quick to compliment people, and likes to make friends with others, such as Bandana Dee. Dorws, however, enjoys to fight, but doesn't enjoy serious fighting. He carries a sword on him at all times just in case. The options in the CYOA themselves are Dorws' thoughts on what to do, which is why they, unlike the rest of the narration, refer to Dorws in the first person. Custom options tend to break from his character and shouldn't be accounted for when thinking of his personality.

Dorws has, over time, gained a more silly and unserious persona, often performing actions beyond his capabilities and making outlandish choices. He remains serious in more important moments, like when he's in any danger or in the middle of a showdown, but in a more casual setting, he's just somewhat odd.

Abilities
Dorws is a skilled swordfighter who can slash and sword jab effectively. Dorws swinging any weapon gives it a white trail following it. This likely represents his light, in contrast to Dark Dorws' dark effects. He can sometimes use that light trail as a weapon, shown in the attack Projectile Slash. He has been shown not to be very effective with any weapons besides the sword. Dorws has 50 HP by default and his attacks are Standard Slash, Blade Poke, Spin Slash, and the charged attack Projectile Slash.

Dorws also has the ability to make a lime green magic shield to defend himself, which can also be used for some amount of aerial mobility. His pockets lead to a hammerspace in which his items are stored.

Dorws' physical abilities aren't the best, with him being fairly out of breath after trying to run much distance. He's not particularly acrobatic, as attempting any sort of flip or many aerial physical attacks tends to leave him on the ground.

Dark Dorws
Dark Dorws is Dorws' rival of unknown origins. Their relationship is not great, with Dark Dorws only joining Dorws' party when having no other choice, and disliking any association between the two of them. This doesn't stop him from actively trying to fight Dorws, though.

Bandana Dee
Bandana Dee is a good friend of Dorws' who he encountered at the start of both CYOAs. Neither of them speak, but both are still rather friendly and caring for each other. Bandana Dee usually travels with Dorws as a party member just following him around and helping in combat and such.

Perteli
An enemy at first sight, who quickly showed himself to have a conscience and stop fighting. Since then, Dorws and Perteli have been friends, Dorws typically traveling with he and Bandana Dee, though Perteli's exact thoughts on Dorws can't be known for sure, due to his general lack of speech.

Dagyvinbuaill
Dagyvin started off as more of an ally to Dorws, even showing him how to remove his smoke's effects in the original CYOA, though shortly after beating Dark Dorws in the Mysterious Room, Dorws and co. saw a darker, more sinister Dagyvin. Dagyvin later pretended to apologize to get back on Dorws' good side, but when he was called out on lying, Dagyvin revealed himself as a villain of sorts. Dagyvin's current objectives are unknown, though Dorws is taking it upon himself to attempt to stop him.

Barry
Barry is a friend of Dorws' who joins his team. Both are usually on good terms, and Barry is rather supportive of Dorws, especially in his lower moments.

Trivia

 * Dorws is officially labeled a generic anime swordsman, despite not being very anime-like at all.
 * Dorws has canonically never sworn. Dark Dorws does, however.
 * Dorws was originally created as a parody OC, mocking Alvin's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Neo.
 * Dorws is sometimes considered an entirely joke character, including canonically, as Dagyvin's called him a "joke" before.
 * A well known fact, "Dorws" is an anagram of "sword", being the word backwards with two letters swapped. Some people mistake this for being unintentional, thinking it was meant to be sword backwards, but it was actually intended as an anagram.
 * Dorws takes inspiration from Ike, Erdrick, Isaac, and some other swordsmen in his appearance.
 * Dorws can be considered to be a Super Smash Bros. OC, despite being his own character in his own series.
 * Dorws frequently sports a determined frown on his face. This appears in most of his artwork beyond the CYOA.
 * Dorws takes the Sans role in the Undertale AU Senoktale. He's also the Frisk role in Dorwstale and the Kris role in Dorwsrune.
 * Some people in the CYOA repeatedly tried to get Dorws to use Spin Slash to become a helicopter, which failed when attempted. This lives on in the Dorws moveset, where Spin Slash is his Up B in reference. He also uses Spin Slash to break a fall.
