The Hero

The hero is LOAA's player character, the leader of the party. His name, background and story are not yet decided.

Appearance

  • A lean man with short, curly black hair, a trimmed beard and a steady gaze.
  • A worn brown linen shirt with a V-neck, dark trousers, a brown leather belt with a brass buckle, and tall brown boots with turned-down cuffs.
  • Plain, practical, travel-worn clothes: grounded medieval, no armour yet. The model is built to take custom armour and weapons later.

Role and story

  • The player hero (working role in the world bible).
  • Name, backstory, class and abilities: Unconfirmed — awaiting the director.

In the game

  • Party member 0; the player can switch control to any party member (Tab in the test harness), and the others follow and fight on their own.
  • In the demo slice he starts at the inn at the head of the harbour road.

Development

  • chr_hero v1: the first new-design character, rigged on the shared 66-bone humanoid skeleton every LOAA character uses, with LODs and idle, walk and run.
  • Built from the new-design Meshy model (hero-pbr-model.zip), with its textures being moved toward the painted sheet.
  • An earlier realistic hero (MetaHuman route) was dropped with the pivot of 2026-09-28.
