Trace is a lean, mean, – and with his mechanical arms, perhaps literal – platforming machine. With a wide array of moves and techniques at his disposal, he can traverse nearly any location with ease! Even without the Aurascope’s abilities, he is still an extremely agile and trailblazing adventurer with a big heart.

Aurora is an extraordinary engineer and inventor. She never shies away from adventure and may be even more of a daredevil than Trace. She is equipped with several unique inventions of her own design in addition to being able to use the Aurascope. Her smarts and determination are what get her through the toughest situations!
