Edgar's hair is now ginger, and messily shoved underneath a red and brown hat. He is missing his ponytail. His eyes are blue. Otherwise, there are not many changes to his physical appearance.

## Concept / Design Notes

**Master of the Three Fine Arts, the All-Rounder of the Ages**

He is the perfect representation of the Renaissance, a rare all-rounder in human history, who has influenced generations with his artistic practices and scientific explorations. He is Leonardo da Vinci, a thundering name in the history of culture and art. His embarrassing origin prevented him from inheriting his father's "glorious" career, but it gave his extraordinary talent room for many things, such as flight, painting, architecture, sculpture, water conservancy, mechanics, mathematics, biology, astronomy...... he was involved in a wide range of paintings, an unparalleled master who was able to enter the pantheon of greatness.

His curiosity and love for explorations were the hallmarks of Leonardo da Vinci's life. Can the Painter, dressed as the fashionable and artful Leonardo da Vinci, continue his pace of exploration and reveal the hidden secrets behind the game of chase with his keen observation and superb wisdom?

**Paint the Beautiful, Explore the Unknown**

After the maintenance on January 5th, Painter - Da Vinci will be officially online. In the poster released by "Identity V", the magnificent man is drawing the human body structure he is observing under the soft light at dusk, accumulating materials for the innovation of new painting techniques. On the table by the window, two bottles of 'potions' show his notable attainments in scientific practices.

On the Painter's Deduction Star costume - Da Vinci, we feel the sage-like style of the Renaissance - elaborate brown velvet make up the inner top, delicate dark silk woven into the outer coat, sealed with warm and thick fur, and fashionable pleated cuffs that are also gorgeous. With a brush stained with various colors in his left hand and a thick stack of papers in his right, the inspiration in his mind is never fleeting, and he draws from it and records it on paper, unaware that it is a masterpiece that will later become famous in the history of culture and art.

A series of painting techniques such as composition, lighting and shadow, and perspective, which are familiar to us all, are also emboodied as fluorescent effects surrounding the Painter - Da Vinci, and the perfect combination of curves and straight lines is perhaps the cornerstone of art that will amaze everyone.

**Aesthetics resonance through time**

The Painter, Edgar Valden, is the only son of his family. His great talent for painting, the doting of his family and the praise from his social peers have made him notice nothing but art. In search of the artistic inspiration he dreamed of, he came to the manor alone, despite his family's opposition. Now, he has the chance to play as Leonardo da Vinci! As he runs around the chase course with his brush and canvas in hand, can he resonate aesthetically with the greatest painter from hundreds of years ago and gain the inspiration to escape from the manor?

A genius with a brush that, in addition to recording the beauty of the present, is passionate about tracing the possibilities of the future!

## Trivia
