Introducing the Knights
The White City, Arcadia's Capital, is not only home to the Grand Regent Archimedes but also headquarter of the oldest military order of Gaia: the Knight's Order. The Knights protect the Realm against external threats, serve as personal guard to the current ruler, and generally uphold the law and settle disputes.
While there are more Knights scattered around Arcadia, today we'll focus on the party you control – Hero, the fearless pilot Trin and the mysterious robot Gen.
HERO
Age: 18
A boy of unknown origin. Ever since he was a little lad, he was taught the way of the Knights by Master Mayfair, the celebrated warrior of the Direfolk War and Hero's caretaker. Hero has grown up to be a seasoned swordsman, and there is little in the woods near Arne Village able to frighten him.
Hero is a versatile fighter and in addition to traditional Knights gear, Sword and Shield, he is quite competent with the musket. His dream is to wield the fabled Caster Gun someday, a weapon that harnesses the power of magic.
TRIN
Age: 23
Granddaughter of Gran Regent Archimedes and his spouse Calliope, Trin is the accomplished pilot of the Yellow Bird, an Arcadian ship that has seen the thick of battle more than once. Secretly ashamed of her royal origins, she has been growing up amongst the ordinary citizens of the White City. She's a good-hearted, opinionated young woman, with plenty of victories under her belt.
Trin wields the Daggerang, an iconic tri-bladed weapon that could be used both at close and long range. Trin is ace against flying enemies and a life-saver when a remote switch needs to be activated.
GEN
Age: ?
Gen is Master Mayfair's automata comrade and Hero's friend. He doesn't shy away from playfully commenting on a situation, and wears clothes and armor over his steel limbs. His behavior and relationship with the old Knight suggest that the two have experienced many adventures together.
Gen's weapon of choice is a mighty battle oar, perfectly fitting his relentless, high-damage combat style.
Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm will also feature dozens of new NPCs, some familiar characters from Monster of Uncharted Seas, and plenty of new backstories to explore.
