11 Jun Aslan is the player character of EXODUS. The marketing materials introduce Jun as a salvager on Lidon who is inducted into the Traveler caste of the Aslan Dynasty, and the game's promotional trailer titled "The Rise of Jun Aslan" frames the campaign as Jun's journey from local salvager to a figure who matters to the entire Omega Centauri cluster.

33 Heritage

55 Jun is the scion of the Aslan Dynasty, the late-arriving human community based on the moon Lidon. Officially, Jun is the child of Orion Aslan, a legendary Traveler from the dynasty's founding generation, and Ava, a consort with Celestial-blooded heritage. The mixed lineage means Jun straddles two worlds: baseline humanity, with its hard scarcity and salvage culture, and the posthuman Celestials, who claim Omega Centauri as their birthright.

77 Player customization
88  
9-Jun's name is canonical, but appearance is customizable in the player's hands. EXODUS uses a fixed-protagonist model: the name Jun Aslan and the backbone of the family history are constant across playthroughs, similar to how some character-driven action RPGs give their lead character a default first name while letting the player redraw the face. Appearance customization covers face, hair, body and gear loadout. Personality and alignment are expressed through dialogue choices and the moral weight of decisions taken during and between missions.

Personality and alignment are then expressed through dialogue choices and the moral weight of decisions taken during and between missions.

11+Paladin and Immortal alignment
12+ 
13+Jun’s morality runs along two named paths the player commits to through their decisions. Paladin is the path of virtue: choices that prioritize others, even when they cost Jun something. Immortal is the path of ambition: seizing power and opportunity when it serves Jun’s goals. The alignment changes how characters in the world respond to Jun, and it feeds progression directly, since the path chosen affects which abilities Jun can upgrade and how those powers evolve. Combat and exploration tools are covered on The Recycler and Railclaw and Gauntlet Abilities.

1923 Every Traveler is equipped with a Recycler, a shapeshifting firearm that can switch configurations on the fly, and a gauntlet that combines a Railclaw grappling tool with a slot for an active ability such as the Lance javelin attack. Together these define Jun's combat and traversal silhouette. The details, including Recycler configurations, are covered in The Recycler and Railclaw.

2731 Jun does not work alone. A permanent crew, recruited across the campaign, accompanies the Traveler from world to world. Confirmed members include Tom Vargas, Elise Charroux, and Salt, an Awakened octopus piloting a mech suit. Romance options exist for human and humanoid companions; Salt is explicitly not on the romance list for in-fiction reasons. See Companions and Crew for the roster.

2933 Narrative role
3034  
3135 EXODUS is described by its developers as morally ambiguous. Jun is not framed as a chosen-one savior. The character begins as a salvager, becomes a Traveler, and is gradually pulled into questions about whether the Aslan Dynasty can survive in a cluster where humanity's own descendants outnumber, outclass, and often despise it. Each mission contributes another piece of evidence to that argument, and the consequences play out across the deep-time scale that Time Dilation introduces.
