Sword, Wind, Stars: Three Ways to Protect Tomorrow

DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT #10

Faced with the same danger, one person takes up a sword, another reads the wind, and a third opens a star chart. Today we meet three young people already living in the game data—and three very different ways to protect tomorrow.

Standing in front of those who need protection — Albert von Reiner

Albert is a 21-year-old officer who values steady duty over spectacular glory. His profile describes someone more likely to cover for a companion's mistake than condemn it. His commander data favors caution, defense, and conservation: a young man who would rather remain standing than be remembered as a hero.

Finding an evacuation route in the wind — Lucia Fern

Lucia is an 18-year-old soldier trained to read wind and terrain. Her background centers on guiding people around dangerous spore currents and securing escape routes, placing protection above battlefield honors. Her character data emphasizes mobility, matching the calm officer who searches for a path where others see only danger.

Protecting the future by understanding the unknown — Ria Celestia

Ria is a 24-year-old researcher whose history includes predicting climate change from old star charts and records of migrating birds. She now supports exploration of unknown lands and ancient ruins. To her, knowledge is not decoration; it is preparation for protecting someone from the next disaster.

Their names, ages, histories, and commander traits already exist in the character data. How meetings and narrative choices will affect play remains under development. Institutions do not move a nation alone. People with different convictions must decide what to do in the same world, and we want the player to feel the weight of those moments.
