Main Characters
Akira (The Starborn)
Role: Protagonist and vessel of the Worldheart.
Description: A young man with a calm demeanor and an unwavering resolve. His hair shimmers faintly in the light, a sign of his connection to the echoes of creation. Gifted with the power to channel echoes, he bears the weight of the Worldheart, a living crystal of memory and hope. Akira is determined to heal the wounds of the universe, driven by a sense of justice and the quiet certainty that even a single voice can change the song of existence.
Anaya (The Echo-Weaver)
Role: Akira's ally and spiritual guide.
Description: A gifted echo-weaver whose staff hums with the memory of ancient songs. Her long hair is bound with threads of starlight, and her eyes glow softly when she channels the echoes. Wise beyond her years, she is both mystic and scholar, and she feels the weight of each echo she guides. Anaya's deep empathy helps her connect with the echoes and with Akira, offering both wisdom and gentle strength.
Vaelin (The Blade of Dawn)

Description: A fierce fighter with a blade forged from the light of fallen stars. Vaelin's presence is as steady as the sunrise, and she carries scars—both physical and emotional—from countless battles. Her hair is short and dark, her eyes a stormy silver. Though blunt and pragmatic, Vaelin's loyalty is absolute, and she stands as Akira's shield against the darkness.
🌌 Key Antagonists
Seraphel (The Shadow's Herald)
Role: Mysterious emissary of the Sorrowed Court.
Description: Cloaked in shifting shadows, Seraphel's face is hidden behind a mask of obsidian. Her voice is as cold as the void, and her movements are as graceful as they are unsettling. She speaks in riddles, weaving truths with lies, and she is obsessed with consuming the echoes of creation to forge an age of endless night.
The Sorrowed Court
Role: The ancient and hungry force seeking to devour the echoes of the universe.
Description: A council of echo-devourers, each more ancient than memory itself. Their forms are cloaked in shadow, and their presence is felt more as a poison in the ley lines than as physical figures. The Court sees itself as the rightful heir to the echoes—believing that despair and oblivion are the natural order of all things.

The Echo-Wraiths
Role: Guardians twisted by the Sorrowed Court's power.
