The Dahlhaus Corporation is monitoring six subjects in the current cycle. The System's predictive algorithms have projected that these subjects may have a dramatic effect on long term quarterly profits.
Management has authorized discrete targeted behavioral influencing for these subjects. Dahlhaus agents are prohibited from engaging in targeted actions that antagonize the respective owning Metacorporation of each class or otherwise drawing the attention of outside parties, unless so authorized by a direct order from the Corporate Espionage Division of Upper Management.
Inspect the information cards below to become familiar with the targeted subjects (“Playable Classes”). Please note that some classes will remain locked until further progress is made in the Champion's Path.
Playable Classes Unlocked: (2/6)
One happy-go-lucky individual. Has trouble confronting the harsh realities of her world, so she prefers to live in the one inside her head. Numi loves fairy tales so much that one day, she wakes up right in the middle of one.
A recently freed Human Resource of the Outlands Emirate, Numi has escaped her home village for the first time in her life. It's easy to tell she's pretty excited about it. She would wear her heart on her sleeves (if she had any).
Spontaneous and quirky (!!!), Numi has always dreamed of guiding a jaded male protagonist to live in the moment and see the beauty in the little things, ya know?
A voracious reader of any book she can get her hands on, from legends to novels to the ancient scriptures, Numi has faith that the Holy Source is the author of her story, so she trusts the revelations she receives from its divine will to guide every aspect of her life.
#DEV NOTES (remember to edit these comments out of final version, JEFF!)
#Our latest market research says male audiences still prefer their female leads to be infantilized. Basically thirteen-year-old girls with the bodies of adult women. Kind of grim, but there you go. Make ‘em too independent and you lose 65.2% of average engagement from that critical demographic.
#Maybe if Strong Female Character reboots ever start trending more positively for consumer satisfaction, we'll tweak her characterization and age her up mentally. Maybe dye her hair pink, shave one side of her head, and give her some tribal tattoos. Let's workshop it once we float it by the shareholders. - S

One of the top agents employed by Capital Group Innovations, one of the five largest Metacorporations of the world economy. Agent Diozmos has been entrusted by CGI's President with his most dangerous mission yet: the rescue of Crown Prince Helmut. The President is convinced that the Prince was kidnapped by none other than the Capital Group's corporate archnemesis: Pelassos Security Firm.
Anxious, skittish, and easily annoyed, Agent Diozmos is attuned to the hypocrisy and stupidity of others, always analyzing how to use the weaknesses of those around him to his benefit. He never stops thinking about how to get ahead, how to become rich, and how to claw his way into the most advantageous position in as little time as possible. People who cannot turn a profit for him, he disregards.
For a veteran professional military contractor, Diozmos loses his cool pretty easily. In fact, it doesn't take much to get this guy to absolutely lose it. He has little patience for foolishness, whether in the form of Numi's naivety or the infantile antics of his vicious fairy sidekick, Fleurm.
Not exactly the knight in shining armor that Numi wants him to be.
#DEV NOTES (DELETE THIS, JEFF)
#Shareholders are split over making this guy the main character. If audiences start interpreting his character as a political thing, let's lighten his skin and clean up his facial features.
#Maybe have another protagonist on standby for foreign markets. See Shelley in Character Design for alternate models with a more marketable facial structure.
