We’re excited to show you some of the characters you will be meeting in Imp of the Sun! Hi everyone! We hope you had an awesome time with demo release of Imp of the Sun. Today is our 2nd entry for our development diary and we’d love to take a closer look at some of the interesting characters and villains that we met during the demo! [h1]Nin[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39990524/9a03dd307780ce2ca29b967ce33fbf6531380b1d.png[/img] Nin is our small-but-mighty protagonist sent down from the sun to restore The Sun’s power and end the eternal eclipse. He is a fast and versatile with an innocent side and is determined to carry out his mission and save the world from the looming darkness! [h1]Sunaya[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39990524/705e696ba2003e34e41fc2332eb0935823d88b70.png[/img] Sunaya, the curious and friendly girl you’ll meet at the outset of your journey, is incredibly strong-willed, helping Nin on his quest every step of the way! She is a representation of the better future that Nin is fighting for. Handing over any collectables you find throughout your journey to her might net you some special rewards, so don’t forget to do this! [h1]Izhi[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39990524/e1f1c64f6d7357574451dbbbe68664fd35134bfc.png[/img] Izhi is the grandmother of Sunaya. Tired of living under the darkness of the eclipse for years, she appears to have given up all hope for the suns return – her biggest wish. Help Nin progress through the many challenges to bring hope back to people like Izhi! Some collectibles you find when handed to Izhi could help you find out more about the lore of the world! [h1]Qari[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39990524/7bf5e495f3876a3c832273e0a8e168602ac40a1e.png[/img] Qari the spooky traveller is quite the opposite of his appearance! Helpful and cheerful, he serves as a checkpoint for Nin’s journey! Whenever Nin finds an abandoned lantern and interacts with it, progress will be saved, and fast travel locations will be unlocked. [h1]Ruku[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39990524/54ede9f78d2fc849bc494719cdeff14b437f7347.png[/img] Ruku, The Keeper of the Jungle, is a giant magical being that floats above the lake of the Jungle. Ruku wanted greater power in order to defend the Jungle from possible attack. After betraying her creator, she managed to achieve just that. Ruku wears a mask based on Chachapoyas culture and is one of the bosses you will fight along your journey with Nin!
