    Of all the survivors, Dwight and Ace could probably benefit the most from lore.

    I really want to know how dwight's life sucked before I reached the entity's realm.

    But I also want to know how Nea fought with her parents and was lost in the asylum crotus prenn.

    I wholeheartedly agree.

    The earlier characters have distinctly less depth to them, not because the devs put less effort, but because they hadn't yet seen the success they would see down the line. Later characters have full blown paragraphs upon paragraphs of lore with full blown artwork dedicated to visually telling those stories because their team for writing, storyboarding, art, etc. was hugely expanded upon and they put loads more work into these areas when they could.

    The most obvious reference to this is Ace, he's already such a cool character without it all but MAN he's got a single paragraph to describe who he is and his backstory. It's a very well written paragraph that establishes the concept of his character, and his cosmetics and other little details have done wonders for further establishing who he is, but man we need to see more of this Suave, Smooth talking silver tongue, charming, charismatic, ladies man, and lucky bastard... I would love to see all the different jams this guy found himself stuck in but lucky enough to see himself out of. There's such mystery behind the character, who was he in deep with? who tipped him off? What kind of high-highs has this man reached and low-lows has he been to??


    Some trivia bits that provide openings into his character:

    In his default Ace actually wears a silver ring on his ring finger, indicating he's possibly married.

    One of Ace's premium outfits is that of a fighter pilot, possibly served in the air force?

    A recently released premium outfit called Ace Vegas describes his "gambling Mecca: Las Vegas" what's the story there?

    Indeed, many characters such as Yui and Zarina have their entire story explained in their intro while original characters have a few sentences explaining their flaws in life.

    Some characters such as Meg and Jake are thoroughly explained in short paragraphs, but Dwight for instance, is just given a paragraph about dropping out of school and being left, drunk in 'the forest'.

    I was gonna vote for Kate but the Dwight gang make a compelling case.

    Yeah, but then again Dwight at least has two paragraphs of lore, Ace has 1

    How is that more compelling??

    I mean sure, we've seen multiple characters get stories in the same Tome so it's not impossible to see both Dwight & Ace get expanded upon, but still...

    Idk, I feel like the devs are gonna stick to the 1 girl, 1 boy format they've established. However, there are 6 female survivors without a tome, 5 male survivors without a tome, 6 male killers with no tome and 4 female killers without a tome if you omit the licensed characters. So the devs might double up on one gender per a tome, but it'll most likely be female survivors and male killers doing the doubling up.
