D'arce

D'arce Cataliss was supposed to be a playable character and a potential party member in Fear & Hunger. A knight with pure and righteous ways of the warrior, she has being trained in combat since childhood and excels in close combat with different weaponry. She was cut in development as she was deemed a boring, plain character.

Lore
"'The trusted knight of the propheticed one. She seems awfully dim standing next to the blinding shimmer of the one... But it might be wrong to misjudge her potential...' - The New Gods when asked about D'arce."

Some information about D'arce still remains in her character files, although all we know is that she served the Kingdom of Rondon faithfully, until Le'garde took her. Whatever she may have been destined for, she was cut from the game.

Recruiting
D'arce was scripted to appear at the Cavedweller village; when visiting the area, the player may find her being attacked by one of the locals and will have the chance to save her by killing her aggressor, turning the other Cavedwellers hostile afterwards. She will be killed by the Cavedweller if the player does not help. If saved, D'arce was programmed to join the player if offered the chance; she will ask the party to assist her on finding Le'garde, and will cry tears of joy if reunited with him. If the player refuses to let him join the party or there is no room for him, D'arce will stay behind with him until both of them are recruited. Trying to re-implement D'arce causes game-crashing bugs, suggesting she was not only boring but also troubling to program.

It is unknown what equipment D'arce would start with.

Gameplay
Given her appearance, it would appear D'arce would be a knight character. It is hard to estimate how she would have functioned in the party, given that Le'garde already fills this role.

Endings
As cut content, D'arce has no associated endings.

Trivia

 * D'arce's design seems to be based from Joan of Arc's appearance, more specifically from the movie "The Messenger" (1999).
 * Her name is literally taken from Joan of Ark's French name, Jeanne d'Arc. Though the 'Jeanne' is instead given to the knight Jeanne, one of Buckman's companions.
 * D'arce is the only cut character in either Fear and Hunger game.
 * In her New God form she covers her original armor with the living, symbiotic armor that The Heartless One wears, The Darkness.
