Arian Vale
Quiet, observant, rebellious under the surface. Works for the government redacting truth — but secretly sketches forbidden symbols. Haunted by a vanished father.
🔹 Kael Idris
Former street performer turned pirate broadcaster. Charismatic, loud, and dangerous. He believes sound can bring down the regime — one illegal message at a time.
🔹 Nima Lorin
Sharp-eyed, brilliant with technology. A coder hiding in plain sight within the Ministry. She's loyal to truth — but hides a secret that could destroy Arian.
🔹 Eris Vale
Arian's mother. Calm, distant, burdened by silence. She once believed in the Republic — now she fears her son will follow the same path that ruined his father.
🔹 Director Voss
Cold and precise head of the Ministry of Reconciliation. Believes memory is poison. Would rather erase a city than let truth spread.
🔹 The Echo Man
Age unknown. A ghost from the past. Appears when the silence is weakest. Some say he was part of the first resistance. Others say he's already dead
