I was waiting for cleric release since there was only rumors and today I finally updated the game to try the beta version. Aaaaaaand they're nonbinary! As a nonbinary person I feel Seen and it's a strangely comforting feeling like I can't even describe it. It's so personal and important for me to see a nonbinary adventurer. Also I like their gameplay so far more than any other hero! And their lore is so cool! Sorry I just really need to tell someone about this. Now the only thing I'm worried about is Russian translation because I have little faith in translators in relation to they/them pronouns but I hope that they get it right.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

I'm very glad people are happy with the better representation with the new heroes. As I've said before, I don't think Shattered's cast will ever be super diverse (given that the starting point is 3 white men and one 'girl character'), but I'd like to get it out of 'clearly bad' territory without making substantial changes to the existing heroes. For the Cleric in particular the thought of them being NB really nicely arose from their backstory, which I hope to be able to put in-game eventually.

What do you mean by better representation? In real life only 3 percent of people are NB, gay, or lgbtq. In shattered it's 20 percent (the sad ghost and now the cleric)

In real life, white people are only like 20 percent of the population but are like 80% of the current characters in the game currently

Curious isn't it?
