The Gommage

For 67 years, the island nation of Lumière has been plagued by the Gommage—a mysterious annual event where a spectral figure known as the Paintress paints a number on a distant monolith. All individuals of that age vanish instantly, leaving behind only petals and dust. Each year, the number decreases, bringing the populace closer to extinction.

The Paintress

The Paintress is an enigmatic entity residing on the mainland. Her annual ritual of painting the monolith dictates who will be erased in the Gommage. Her motives are unknown, and all attempts to stop her have failed. Expedition 33

Lumière and the Expeditions Lumière, once part of the mainland, became isolated after a cataclysm known as the Fracture. In response to the Gommage, the city has sent annual expeditions to confront the Paintress. None have returned.

Act 1: The Final Voyage Begins

Prologue: Farewell to Sophie Gustave, a 32-year-old engineer, bids a heartfelt goodbye to his former lover, Sophie, who turns 33—the age decreed by the Paintress. She vanishes during the Gommage, fueling Gustave's resolve to join Expedition 33 and end the cycle.

Assembling Expedition 33

Expedition 33 comprises:

Gustave: Engineer and leader, driven by personal loss.

Maelle: Gustave's 18-year-old foster sister, a skilled fencer.

Lune: A brilliant scholar and mage.

Sciel: A calm and cheerful warrior.

They set sail to confront the Paintress and halt the Gommage.

Catastrophe on the Mainland Upon landing, the expedition is ambushed by Renoir, a white-haired man leading an army of monsters. Most members are slain; only Gustave, Maelle, Lune, and Sciel survive. Maelle begins experiencing visions of Renoir and a masked girl, hinting at a deeper connection.

The Core Survivors of Expedition 33:

Gustave – 32, engineer and leader of the expedition. Driven by grief after losing his lover Sophie to the Gommage. Calm, focused, paternal.

Maelle – 18, Gustave’s foster sister and a gifted fencer. Quietly sarcastic, flirtatious, and emotionally searching.

Lune – Scholar, strategist, and voice of reason. Her intellect grounds the group; Maelle deeply admires her.

Sciel – Stoic, serene warrior with a subtle playfulness. Her optimism contrasts the growing darkness.

Seeking Allies The survivors seek assistance from Esquie, a local mythical creature, to cross the sea toward the Paintress. Before they can proceed, Renoir attacks again.

The Fallen Expeditioners (Early Deaths): D’Arcy – A brash frontline soldier known for his bravado and loyalty to Gustave. Killed during the ambush on the mainland while trying to shield Maelle.

Hesta – A kind-hearted medic and herbalist with a gentle presence. Crushed during the initial surprise attack by Renoir's forces.

Bastien – A quiet navigator and mapmaker who rarely spoke but was fiercely accurate. Mauled by creatures conjured by the Gommage during the sea crossing.

Ionie – The group’s experimental mage, unstable in her power but brilliant. Lost control during a counter-attack and was consumed by her own spell.

Their swift deaths serve as a sobering reminder: this isn’t just another mission—it’s the last.
