Gustave

GUSTAVE

Gustave grew up feeling suffocated by the Paintress' constant presence over Lumière.

As an engineer, he has dedicated his life to the city's defence and agricultural systems, striving to protect and provide for his people.

Now, as an Expeditioner, he devotes his final year of life to defeating the Paintress and reclaiming a future for Lumière's children.

CHARACTER TRAILER

MAELLE

Orphaned at age 3, Maelle has never felt at home in Lumière. She has difficulty connecting with and trusting others, but has come to appreciate her foster brother Gustave.

At 16 years of age, Maelle is significantly younger than the other Expeditioners. Unlike them, she views the Expedition as her chance to explore the world beyond Lumière and finally forge her own destiny.

CHARACTER TRAILER

LUNE

The daughter of prominent researchers, Lune has a deep thirst for knowledge and has sacrificed everything to complete her parents' work.

Her one goal is to unravel the mystery of the Paintress.

Entrusted with charting a path for the Expedition, Lune feels keenly the weight of responsibility and the stakes involved. She cannot and will not allow the Expedition to fail.

SCIEL

A farmer turned teacher, Sciel is warm and outgoing, enjoying life day by day. She is at ease with death, having long accepted the brutality of their world.

But her teasing smile masks a dark and painful past.

Though deeply committed to the Expedition, she is untroubled by the spectre of failure. They will do all in their power, and it will either be enough, or it won't.

MONOCO

Monoco is a Gestral, a group of friendly beings who enjoy the thrill of battle and view competition as a form of meditation.

As one of the few Gestrals who speak the human language, Monoco has adopted a scholarly demeanour which belies a bloodthirsty spirit.

Though Gestrals are untouched by the Paintress, the prospect of combat entices Monoco to join the Expedition.

ESQUIE

Children in Lumière love hearing stories about the mythical Esquie and his whimsical adventures.

Legends say that Esquie is the most powerful being in the world, able to soar through the heavens and dive deep beneath the sea. Legends also say… he's lazy.

Born at the dawn of time, what secrets does Esquie keep?

RENOIR

Renoir is relentlessly driven and myopic in his quest to save his family. His grit masks deep pain, desperation, and fear of loss.

His methods are his own. He knows that victory demands sacrifice. And he is fully prepared to pay the price.

VERSO

Verso is an outsider of unknown origins who closely tracks the Expedition...
