For this update, I'd like to introduce (or reintroduce?) a character from the game. We've featured Lumi in many updates, as well as taking center stage in our key art. Now though, we finally have a name and some full-body art: Meet Chieri, a Lumimancer who joined the crew of the Black Duke shortly before Crow, the player character. Here's a short introduction to her now:
Chieri was born in a region far from where the story of Crystal Horizons takes place. After displaying high magical aptitude at a young age, her parents placed her in the care of the Adgai Duchy's church and she was relocated across the skies. Training as a Lumimancer, Chieri studied diligently and graduated with great results. This gave her the privilege to continue training and become a Templar, a holy knight in service of the Duke, but she refused.
Far more than status or glory, Chieri craved adventure. Being able to soar across the skies and offer succor to those she came across was her true calling. Leaving behind the Adgai Duchy which she called home for over a decade, Chieri took a ferry across the clouds and began her travels.
Some time later, Chieri encountered the airship Black Duke and it's crew, who shared with her their philosophy: They never harm or steal from the innocent or weak. The ideals of the odd crew resonated with Chieri, so she joined their adventures as a Lumimancer and medic. In her time as a sky pirate she has proven herself as both a reliable healer and warm friend, and makes sure to enjoy every second of her adventures across Sazdemir.
We're super happy to finally be able to drop our first full character art, as well as giving a name to Lumi. Chieri will be one of a small number of crew members with a unique design and gameplay applications. What those applications may be, I'll have to save for another time. We plan to show off more of those characters, along with character introductions, as we get closer to release. That's all I've got for now though; thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you all next week!
