Characters

In the game you are Haven, an athletic slave who dreams of a better life free from the bonds of slavery. Lately, he's been having a recurring dream of an ancient bell known as the "Golden Voice" that has a ring so powerful it wakes him from his slumber. During the day, when he isn't slaving away in the mines, Haven is a skilled inventor, and expert mechanic, and generally a loudmouth. He makes his way through a number of environments, and doesn't seem to ever be tired out.

Talon is Haven's greatest and only working creation. He's a bit bumbling in the beginning, but is a very fast learner. While Talon can only communicate in beeps and squawks, it is quite easy to understand him. Talon at times feels like Haven does not appreciate him enough, and can be quite full of himself. While he may be self-centered, Talon can always be relied on in a crunch. Whenever he is needed, Haven just collects 5 feathers, and rings the obelisk in the level, and Talon will come and help Haven out.

Chess is Havens best friend. She too longs to one day be free from Vetch's grasp. She always seems to be getting herslf into trouble. She likes Haven, but gets a little frustrated with some of his stupid ideas. Over time, however, she usually finds that he is right. Chess is the only person Haven can really trust.

Dr. Spong is the strange and quirky doctor of Haven's home village. He stutters a lot, and likes to slap people in the head, then tell them to stay in bed, saying, "I-I know for a fact th-tha-that your head is still sore..." His voice can be quite annoying, and he doesn't seem to be offended at Haven's rude remarks.

The Wise Man lives on the Isle of Heroes, along with all the other wise men. He is quite bored of the old routine of welcoming the warriors that have faced all the challenges and congratulating them, "Well done, Great Warrior. You have fought many battles and faced many challenges..." in a monotone, lazy voice. The Wise Man is the one that helps Haven by telling him the entire history of the Golden Voice, and the story of the original Auria, and brutality of Vetch.

The Overlord is one of Vetch's more senior henchmen. He has earned more responsibility, but in doing so, he has also let some of his newfound power go to his head. He has even come to think he is as powerful as Vetch himself. The Overlord is good at following orders and protocol, but is not very intelligent and is unable to function without Vetch's leadership.

Lord Vetch is an evil blight on the universe. Along with his army of minions, he travels from planet to planet enslaving the inhabitants, while stripping the planets of all natural resources. He's like the virus that he uses against the inhabitants, fast spreading and always deadly. He must be careful though, because every virus has a cure. His one fear is that the legend of the Golden Voice will come true and Athellion will return to Auria and defeat him. Vetch has done everything he can to rid himself of this legend so he can rule unchallenged.

Athellion is the true King of Auria. 1,000 years ago he departed his golden city to fight alongside his father in a great galactic crusade. Now his return is the only chance Haven and his people have to free themselves from Vetch's tyranny.
