"I'm here. Is the Target in this area?"

Atsuki Saijo (西条アツキ, Saijō Atsuki) is the main protagonist of Lux-Pain.

He is a member of the secret government organization FORT and an experienced Σ (Sigma) user that hunts & erases SILENT from its victims. He also assists in information gathering by reading people's shinen.

Despite outwardly appearing cold or apathetic, while Atsuki struggles with socializing he’s shown himself to be a caring, but pragmatic individual with a traumatic past. Atsuki constantly throws himself into dangerous situations to save others from either themselves or another infectee, prioritizing their safety.

History[]

Atsuki was born to an unnamed father and unnamed mother somewhere in Europe. Not much is known about either them, aside from Atsuki remembering his mother's face as being "…kind and beautiful" and implies he had often spent together with her outside.

At an unknown age, Atsuki's mother was killed when she was hit by a drunk driver. His father later fell into a deep depression caused by her death and would eventually succumb to a severe SILENT infection, dying only two years after the death of Atsuki's mother.

On his death bed, Atsuki's father had smiled at him and told Atsuki that "The world's full of sorrow.”

He was orphaned alongside his younger sister, who was eventually murdered by "intruding monsters" one night while Atsuki had been asleep. She was found dead and lying in a pool of her blood on the floor of their room when Atsuki wakes up. Their attackers— presumably either SILENT-infected people or SILENT themselves— had broken in and devoured Atsuki's sister.

In a fit of unbridled rage, Atsuki attempted to fend off the intruders, but was outnumbered. He was overwhelmed, losing his arm and severely wounded. However, FORT's had forces suddenly arrived on scene and dispatched the intruders.

Atsuki, near death, was quickly taken into emergency care by FORT. He would later wake up in a hospital-like room after an unknown amount of time had passed. There, Saijo met Ray Patière, FORT's founder, for the first time and Ray explains to Atsuki that he was saved by FORT and underwent a risky operation known as a "Σ (Sigma) transplant" while he was unconscious.

Few people survive the operation, according to Ray, with Atsuki's transplant being a rare success. Thanks to the transplant, Atsuki now not only possessed the ability to wield Σ (Sigma), but his lost, left arm & face were completely healed now. Atsuki is then gifted his Lux Pain artifact— a crusades-era ring named "Gawain" that resembles a lion— and Ray offers him a spot in FORT's FALCO division.

With the power to fight SILENT and seeking revenge for his sister’s death, Atsuki accepts Ray's offer and begins taking on various missions for them. Eventually, Atsuki becomes a respected member of FORT and given the nickname 'The Zero-Time Telepath' by FORT's fieldworkers in PICUS.

Abilities[]

Σ (Sigma)[]

Atsuki's Σ (Sigma) manifests as markings on his regrown, left arm and his right eye shines gold (but he covers that eye with a black contact lens to hide its glow). Using his ring, Gawain, Atsuki uses his Σ (Sigma) to read the thoughts & feelings of others via their shinen. He can also dig out deeper thoughts by taking two separate shinen and fusing them into one, getting to the core of the person's heart.

While he's able to defeat SILENT with this power, Atsuki is limited by how much he can "scrap away" from a person's conscience. If Atsuki erases too much, he risks destroying the person's mind. He is able to back out of someone's mind and "restore" what was erased away at any time, however.

He's able to use his Σ (Sigma) extremely fast, but time outside a person's mind doesn't pause. As evident when certain characters will question why Atsuki was "staring at them" without saying anything.

Atsuki is at his most vulnerable during that short time-frame and cannot move his body.

Trivia[]

  • Natsuki Venefskuja, a thirteen year old girl and another user of Σ (Sigma) that works alongside Atsuki at FORT, has an (unreciprocated) crush on him.
  • Depending on what the player selects during various dialogue choices, Atsuki can openly identify as either gay and/or bisexual. This does not effect anything in-game beyond minor dialogue differences.
  • Atsuki's ring, Gawain, is in-reference to the Gawain of Arthurian legend who was both a renowned Knight of the Round Table and the nephew of King Arthur.
  • Atsuki Saijo may be Italian. He's implied to be from Europe, and Italian names sound similar to Japanese ones. Saijo in particular sounds like Saggio, which is Italian for "Wise".
